T-Mobile posts its third quarter earnings, adds 2.3 million customers in Q3 2015
T-Mobile has some great news today with its third quarter results for 2015. In releasing its financial results, T-Mobile also added a whopping 2.3 million new customers this time around.
Finances were just as impressive, with revenue up by 7 percent from the same quarter last year. T-Mobile also recorded a net income of $138 million for this quarter, compared to a loss of $94 million during the same period last year.
As far as sales go, T-Mobile sold 8.9 million devices, 8.1 million of which were smartphones. From T-Mobile CEO John Legere:
“We’ve had 10 quarters in a row with over 1 million net new customers, 5 with over a million branded postpaid customers and a total of 2.3 million new customers this quarter alone, our momentum is strong and our incredible customer growth is translating directly into solid financial growth which makes it crystal clear that putting customers first is just good business.”
As you can see, these results are nothing close to giants’ results in the market like AT&T and Verizon. However, expect some good things from T-Mobile going forward, as the carrier is truly shaking up the business with competitive programs and pricing. T-Mobile has given consumers all the right reasons to jump ship and join the Un-carrier, but its coverage remains a problem for many.
The carrier has good coverage, but only in some markets. Not nearly as many as AT&T or even Verizon. T-Mobile realizes this, planning to take part in the upcoming FCC auction and the company even plans on rolling out Extended Range LTE in 350 markets or more by the end of the year.

LG V10 buyers can get some goodies for a limited time
Carriers will start offering the LG V10 to buyers this week and at least three of them have teamed up with LG to offer a special promotion for some free goodies for a limited time. Purchasing an LG V10 through AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon Wireless will qualify buyers to get a 200GB microSD card, an extra battery and an extra battery charging cradle.
The LG V10 is already a pretty beefy smartphone and comes with 64GB of internal memory. The device is capable of supporting additional storage of up to 2TB using a microSD card, so getting a 200GB card gives buyers a good start on that expansion. The LG V10 also comes with a 3000mAh battery, so it is no slouch, but LG makes it removable so a spare can be swapped in rather easily, which makes the extra battery a nice addition. Finally, who doesn’t need a spare charging cradle?
For more details and to take advantage of the promo if you buy an LG V10 through one of the eligible carriers, you can head over to lgv10promo.com after reading the press release below. The offer is good from October 27th through November 15th.

LG V10 can be ordered tomorrow on AT&T, followed by T-Mobile on Wednesday
LG has been gearing up for a substantial Fall launch. The V10 was announced about a month ago, aiming at a November release in the US. So the time has come to know when you can get your hands on LG’s latest.
First up, AT&T has stated that you will be able to order the V10 starting tomorrow (Oct. 27th). However, the stores will be slightly behind. The device won’t be on store shelves until Nov. 6th.
In case you need a fresher, the V10 is replaces the G4 from earlier in the year as LG’s new flagship. While some specs are the same (Snapdragon 808 SoC, 16MP rear camera with f/1.8 aperture and OIS 2.0, and removable 3,000mAh battery), there are a few substantial improvements. An extra gig of RAM brings the tally to 4GB now, 64GB of on-board storage is standard, and there are two rather unique features above the main screen: two front cameras options and a secondary screen for Always-On functionality.
The V10 was initially shown off in five color variants, but AT&T has said it will only have the Space Black or Opal Blue. The device will be available on AT&T’s Next program, for either 30 months ($23.34), 24 months ($29.17), or 20 months ($35). But if you’re old-fashioned, you can still sign a 2-year contract to get the V10 for $249.99.
Also, at launch, AT&T will give you a free 200GB microSD card, extra battery and battery charging cradle with the V10. That’s a pretty enticing deal, especially if you value LG’s continued support for a removable battery and microSD expansion.
But wait, there’s more! For the more budget-conscious crowd, AT&T is also launching the G Vista 2 on Nov. 6th as well. In case you missed it, the Vista 2 has a 1080P IPS LCD, 13MP rear camera, and 3,000mAh battery (same as the V10). It will come in Metallic Grey and also be available on the Next program: 30 months ($14.97), 24 months ($18.71), 20 months ($22.45), or $49.99 with two-year contract.
For T-Mobile users, the Un-Carrier was quick to respond with its launch details. You’ll be able to order the V10 starting Wednesday, Oct. 28th. If you prefer to pick it up in stores (or if you’re on JUMP! On Demand), it’ll be on shelves Friday, Oct. 30th.
T-Mobile’s retail price of the V10 is $599.99. This translates to $25/month over two years, if you choose to finance with $0 down. $25/month is also what you’ll pay if you JUMP! to it. You can pre-register for the V10 here.
What do you think? Are you gonna be picking up a V10 soon?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 review: A change for the best?
Samsung completely revamped its entire Galaxy smartphone line this year, focusing on premium build materials. Their sales numbers have been dropping off in the recent past with their Galaxy line, especially in countries like China where Apple and Huawei are seeing tremendous growth. Overall Samsung still sells more smartphones than any other manufacturer by a wide margin. The days of Samsung dominating the smartphone market appear to be in threat as others steal market share.
To slow the declining sales numbers, Samsung shook up management in hopes that changes would start from the top and work its way down. The new management team had a clear vision of what it wanted: it took the utilitarian, do everything devices, and turned them into a superficial devices that looked great for the masses while eliminating features it deemed useless like the removable battery and microSd card slot. Ironically they still kept features most of us find useless like duplicate apps which I will delve into in the software section.
The Samsung Galaxy Note line has been my favorite over the past few years and by no small margin.The Note line typically offers the best specs and hardware of any calendar year and can handle all tasks I throw its way.
When I was given the opportunity to review the Samsung Galaxy Note 5, I was more than happy to do it. Samsung is hoping a new design and construction of one of its best selling smartphones will help turn the sales tide back in their direction. Lets check it out.
Overall Design
Without question, the new Galaxy Note 5 put aesthetics ahead of all other features. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as it really is one of the best looking phones of 2015, if not the best. Off the top of my head, I cannot think of one other device that looks as good as the Note 5. The device is framed in metal and is covered with Gorilla Glass 4 on the front and back, giving it a super clean look. The Note 5 I have comes in a deep midnight blue, which Samsung calls Black Sapphire, and is absolutely stunning. It’s a nice change from simple black or silver that we have been seeing since the arrival of smartphones.
Being glass on both sides makes the Note 5 feel incredibly fragile. Almost all of us have seen the consequence of drops as a shattered screen, either through our own devices or someone we know. I’m not someone who really likes to use cases as I feel it: 1. ruins the look of the phone 2. adds unnecessary bulk 3. adds more cost. I don’t see a point in buying a phone for its looks only to cover it up later. With that being said, I am playing Russian Roulette by not using a case on the Note 5, and because of that I am always holding it a little tighter than previous phones. Having a shattered screen AND a shattered back panel would end the desire for a great looking phone rather quickly.
Another downside to having a glass back panel, is the Note 5 is a fingerprint magnet. It looks greasy immediately and every time I would show the phone off to someone, I would have to wipe it down first so it didn’t look so dirty. This was an annoying side effect from having glossy plastic phones, but having glass just brings that problem back again.
Another sacrifice, at the expense of design, is the lack of a microSD card slot. Samsung, once a pioneer in keeping expandable memory alive, is now forsaking it for aesthetics. Like the Apple iPhone, memory upgrades come in $100 increments, but at least the Note 5 comes in a base 32GB model in the US. This is a deal breaker for some, and I don’t understand why Samsung did away with it other than to assume it was to drive up revenue through memory upgrades. There are other metal phones like the HTC One M9 that provide memory card slots.
Overall, you can’t argue the Note 5 looks incredible. But there’s a cost to looking so good in that it attracts fingerprints and now runs the risk of having a shattered screen as well as back cover.
Processor – Exynos 7420
Samsung decided to forego Qualcomm this year and thankfully so. Qualcomm, for the first time in years, ran into overheating and throttling issues with the Snapdragon 810 which would have held the Note 5 back from performing its best. Instead they came out with their own octa-core Exynos 7420 which they used in their Galaxy S line and it proved to be ultra speedy. Almost everything performed quickly with the occasional hiccup which could be attributed to software. Overall this is one area the Note 5 shines in and the internal hardware should perform for years to come.
No other phone matches the hardware performance of the Note 5 in benchmark tests.
Display
The Note 5 comes with a nearly identical 2k, 5.7″ Super AMOLED display found on the Note 4 and it is simply the best display you can get your hands on today. According to some expert reviewers, the colors aren’t perfect but I think they look stunning. The contrast ratio is unmatched by LED displays, and in full sunlight you can still read the Note 5’s display, even with sunglasses on.
The area where I enjoy the screen the most is when I review the photos . The level of detail and color is unmatched by any other phone and makes looking at photos a fun experience.
Text and movies are equally stunning on this 5.7″ inch display and since the Note 3, I really have given up on tablets as a source for media consumption as the screen size is perfect for me. I tried using the Nexus 6 this year, and had fears the larger screen would make it hard to go back to a smaller screen. Instead I found that the 6″ inch display was just a little too big for me to handle and verified my love of the 5.7″ display size.
S-Pen
The S-Pen, also known as a stylus, is the most distinctive feature about the Samsung Galaxy Note 5. It is where the Note derived its name for it is a tool designed for taking notes. No other device does the stylus as good as the Note and Apple saw the success of the stylus and came out with its own “Pencil”. A new design feature in the Note 5 is a spring loaded stylus which pops out at the push of a button. This does help contribute to a much cleaner look, but one big issue is if you put the stylus in upside down it will break off inside of the device causing a set of issues. So don’t put it in upside down.
The S-Pen is perfect for jotting down notes, phone numbers, drawing, or even navigating the display as it is pin-point accurate. It isn’t a feature everyone uses on a regular basis, but for those of us who do, like me, we absolutely love it. As a medicinal chemist, there aren’t many tools outside of paper notebooks that are easy to draw chemical structures in, but this note handles my needs perfectly. I can jot down chemical structures and keep them all stored on my phone without having to go through old notebooks. I love it, but for many it might not be useful as typing on a keyboard is quicker than pulling out the stylus.
An added feature to this year’s Note is the ability to takes notes on the screen when the phone is off. Yeah, that’s right when you pull the stylus out of the phone, you can write on the unlit display in white lettering and it will auto-save to your device when you hit the power button. This makes for super quick note taking and is a very advanced feature no other phone has.
Whether you love doodling, taking notes, editing pictures or using the stylus as a navigation tool, the S-Pen is unique and sets the Note line apart from all other phones.
Battery Life
The Galaxy Note 5 comes with a 3000mAh battery, which is smaller than last years Note 4, but it also comes with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 2.0 and built-in wireless charging. The trade-off was the removable battery which every other Note had and for some that is a deal breaker. I would dare to guess that most people never need to change their batteries for an instant refill, but for many Note enthusiasts this is something that broke our heart.
The Note is designed to be a powerhouse, not just a typical texting and web browsing machine. Note users adore the line because of the versatility it offers and probably use their phones more than the average user. This means they need a versatile and long lasting battery as the last thing they need is to be sitting next to a wall waiting for their phones to be charged. Nothing beats swapping in a fresh battery to bring the charge up to 100% within one minute. Not even Quick Charge 2.0 can beat that.
With that being said, the Note 5 does have excellent battery life and I found myself being able to make it through a full day with moderate to heavy usage. Over two solid months with the Note 5 as my daily driver, I did not see a decline in the quality of the internal battery, but there were many days when I was traveling where I had to pull out an external battery to keep my phone charged. Again, this feature isn’t necessary for everyone, but for me it was a heart breaker knowing I once had a feature that could get me to 100% power in one minute.
The addition of wireless charging was something I actually came to enjoy. Not having to plug in my phone when I went to sleep, or sat at my lab bench was really nice. Wireless chargers these days are really efficient and the Note 5 even charges faster than the last generation wireless chargers with a compatible device.
Having fast wireless charging and Quick Charge 2.0 are two features most people will love. I love them too, but I just wish Samsung kept the removable battery option which will be a deal breaker for some die-hard enthusiasts.
Camera
The camera in the Note 5 is really one of the best cameras you can get in a smartphone. Samsung knows everyone is taking more and more pictures documenting our food, pets, children, sunsets and everything else you can think of. The camera on the Note 5 really shines and is not only fast, but it is super clear and performs well on every level. It does well with action shots, still shots, close-ups, selfies, panoramic scenes, and night shots.
The specs of the camera are nothing short of impressive: 16MP, optical image stabilization, LED flash, 1/2.6′ sensor, HDR, with a 5MP wide front shooter. Check out some of my samples below to gauge for yourself. You will be hard pressed to find a better camera than what comes with the Note 5.
Software
I have the AT&T model of the Note 5 which runs Android Lollipop 5.1.1. This is a very stable version of Android which is skinned with Samsung’s own Touchwiz. Touchwiz brings a lot of useful features like Multi-Window or S-Pen, but it also brings a ton of useless features. Installed on the Note 5 are duplicate apps of what Android already provides. Samsung forces duplicate apps onto its devices like Samsung Pay(Android Pay), S-Voice(Ok Google), Gallery(Google Photos), Galaxy App Store(Google Play Store), email, phone dialer and texting. This can be confusing for some and I have yet to find someone who actually prefers the duplicate Samsung apps over Google’s apps.
In addition to duplicate apps, Samsung also lets AT&T provide a whole host of its own apps which can only be deactivated wasting more than 1GB of precious memory. As a consumer, I don’t think it is right that we pay for an expected amount of advertised memory(32GB), only to have it wasted with apps we do not want and cannot delete. It’s this behavior from Samsung that is really causing the downfall of sales as customers don’t want to be confused with duplicate apps or apps they don’t want. If Samsung really wants to take a lesson, they need to take a hard look at iOS and see how they limit bloat on its devices.
I’ve used stock Android on the Nexus 6 and it is normally very fast. With Samsung’s Touchwiz over-layed onto Android, I’ve seen more hiccups than I would like with a processor that beats all others in benchmark tests. The software itself is still fast by any measure, but there are times when apps lag and close on their own which I attribute to Touchwiz.
The other thing to be aware of, with Samsung, is terrible timing with updates. Other manufacturers have committed to updating their phones to the latest Android version within reasonable amounts of time, but Samsung works on its own schedule and should be a major concern to anyone who uses their phones more than six months.
Many reviewers like myself use phones for maybe three months until they get a new one. Reviews on software will usually be positive as the device they are reviewing usually comes with the software that is most up-to date. I decided to not upgrade my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge for one year, to really try to understand why so many users complain about slow updates, and boy oh boy, did I feel their pain. My Note Edge ran for six months on the buggy Android 5.0 and I could barely make it to 5pm on a single charge. My phone constantly lagged due to memory leaks and overheated on a regular basis. When I asked AT&T and Samsung when I would get an update to fix these bugs, the answer was indefinite. Samsung has yet to commit to Android 6.0 on my Note Edge which is just one year old and still costs $950 new.
So if you’re a typical user, be aware that Samsung may or may not update your version of Android and that will leave you stuck with security vulnerabilities and bugs that are addressed in the latest updates.
With that said, the Note 5 software is quick and does have nice features like themes and Multi-Window which is something yet to be found on stock Android devices. I still would prefer much less bloat and a simpler user experience.
Summary
I really think highly of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 in more areas than not. I admire its beauty and think it has incredible hardware specs that set the bar for other manufacturers. Its camera, S-Pen and display are second to none. But Touchwiz and Samsung’s poor record of updating software make me hesitate in recommending this phone to the average consumer. Yet, most will probably prefer the new design over having a removable battery and expandable memory.
For die-hard Note fans, I can see most of them sticking with their Note 4 in hopes Samsung will get back to its utilitarian ways and put aesthetics second to function and software updates. I’ve seen more first-time users now though as they simply love the design of the Note 5 and that scares me. It might validate that Samsung was right with putting looks first and they may never get back to what made the original Note series great – complete versatility.
Regardless, if you understand the risks in software updates, and do not care about expandable memory or a replaceable battery the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is a worthy option.

T-Mobile CEO John Legere to send a plane to skywrite above Verizon’s headquarters today
T-Mobile CEO John Legere is pulling some crazy stunts (literally) on Twitter again. He earlier got rid of those hefty overage charges at T-Mobile and started a Change.org petition, asking other carriers to do the same. It received over 330,000 signatures, and carriers have not responded. Obviously Legere’s next step is to send a plane over Verizon’s headquarters in New Jersey to skywrite a message to carriers nationwide.
In 2013 alone, 20 million Americans were hit with $1 billion in overcharge charges from Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. That’s a staggering number that T-Mobile refuses to be apart of, and is urging its competitors to do the same. That said, T-Mobile is still parading its #AbolishOverages petition across Twitter, and will even be skywriting it atop of Verizon headquarters.
Will this invoke any change from carriers? We’re not certain, but it’s still worth a shot!

LG’s dual-screen V10 phone reaches AT&T and T-Mobile this week
When LG promised that its unique V10 smartphone would reach the US soon after its Korean launch, it wasn’t kidding around. Both AT&T and T-Mobile have announced that you can order the dual screen, dual-selfie cam device this week — October 27th and 28th, respectively. The AT&T version comes in black or opal blue, and will cost you either $250 on a two-year contract or $29 per month on a similarly lengthy installment plan. You’ll get a 200GB microSD card, an extra battery and a charging cradle if you order quickly, too. The T-Mobile model doesn’t come with those perks, but it’s potentially cheaper at $25 per month (on a two-year payment plan) or $600 outright. Just be prepared to wait a little while if you insist on trying the V10 in-store. T-Mobile won’t carry it until October 30th, and you’ll be waiting until November 6th to see it at an AT&T shop.
T-Mobile starting online orders for the LG V10 on October 28
T-Mobile announced that it will begin selling the LG V10 this week on October 28, with its brick-and-mortar stores getting it on October 30, almost a week before AT&T will have it available at its retail stores.
However, customers who are on AT&T will have a hard time getting the device if they’re locked into a contract or installment plan already. That’s what is unique about T-Mobile’s JUMP! On Demand program, allowing its customers to upgrade their device up to three times per year. That said, if you haven’t used your three upgrades already, turning your phone in and upgrading to the LG V10 should be no problem. As a quick refresher, T-Mobile’s JUMP! On Demand program will let you upgrade at $0 down and just $25 per month.
One of the highlights of the LG V10 is its “always on” secondary display, which will either give users quick access to applications or highlight important information, such as the time, weather, and so on.
Here’s what’s under the hood of the LG V10:
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor
- 5.7-inch Quad HD (2560×1440) IPS Quantum display with a secondary 2.1-inch (160x 1040) IPS Quantum display
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa-core processor
- 4GB of RAM
- 64GB of internal storage with microSD card slot for up to an additional 2TB
- 16MP rear camera with F1.8 Aperture and OIS 2.0 / 5MP front dual-lens camera
- 3000mAh removable battery
- Android 5.1.1 Lollipop
- 6 x 79.3 x 8.6mm, 192g
- LTE-A Cat. 6 support
Much of that looks similar to the LG G4. However, LG is hoping that the V10 will be the go-to device for capturing video, as the company included an array of different video options in this device, including manual controls for many video configurations. In fact, LG partnered with a YouTube channel in order to show off just what it’s capable of.
Anyone plan on picking one up October 28 from T-Mobile?

T-Mobile makes it free to call and text in and out of Mexico during Hurricane Patricia’s arrival
From now until November 7, T-Mobile is letting subscribers in the Mexico area receive and send texts and calls free of charge.
Hurricane Patricia is one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the western hemisphere. And to make sure everyone can stay in touch with their family and friends, T-Mobile is allowing all of their subscribers in Mexico to make calls and send texts for free during the impact period and recover stage. This includes T-Mobile, MetroPCS, GoSmart and Walmart Family Mobile brands. Meaning wherever you may be, it’s great to know that making a simple phone call or sending a message is free of charge. The offer is valid for all customers, even those on a prepaid plan. It’s too bad that other carriers won’t do the same.

If you’re looking to join T-Mobile’s Jump! On Demand program and are in the market for a new smartphone, there may be quite the deal for you this weekend. T-Mobile has just announced that when you bring in an eligible trade-in from today through Sunday, October 25th, you’ll get a free Samsung Galaxy S6 and a free Samsung Galaxy Tab A through T-Mobile’s Jump! On Demand leasing program.
To score the 32GB Galaxy S6 and Galaxy Tab A free of charge, you’ll need to trade in a Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 5, Note 4, S5, Note Edge or iPhone 6. With this deal, you’ll pay $0 down and $0 per month for 18 months. And since this is through T-Mobile’s leasing program, you’ll need to return the phone to T-Mobile once your 18-month leasing period is up.
