You can apply the IPCC file without jailbreaking, although I believe it still requires erasing all your settings and contents. The IPCC file is a ZIP file with a bunch of images and XML files with interesting settings within. There's a lot of superfluous FUD ("iOS uses more data than other smartphones, even when idle", which is not true) regarding iOS in the article.

#12Another win for T-Mobile. I have to say, for all the negative things I've heard about them in past years, the more I hear about the company the harder I think about switching from Verizon. No contracts for service, they separated phone subsidies from phone service, and reasonably priced data plans. Does anyone use T-Mobile? How is their network?
Their phone support has always been fantastic for me.
Right before they switched to no-contract mode, I called in to cancel a USB data card I wasn't using much anymore. I have a phone (no contract, unlocked nexus 4) as well as that card, that had finished its contract some time ago. They gave me ~40% off of my entire bill if I agreed to a 2 yr contract.
Then again, when I go out into some parts of the country, I get almost no signal. There was an HN post some time ago with a map of comparative cell-coverage.

T-Mobile's network is nowhere near as good for me as AT&T's was. I hope that it improves. The biggest problem is looking at my phone and seeing "0 bars."
Also, the data plan doesn't work with one of my phones. Ironically, the same phone AT&T forced me to have a data plan for. Maybe it would have never worked.

I switched from AT&T to T-Mobile because AT&T just pissed me off with mandatory data plans. T-Mobile's network is nowhere near as good for me as AT&T's was. I hope that it improves. The biggest problem is looking at my phone and seeing "0 bars." Also, the data plan doesn't work with one of my phones. Ironically, the same phone AT&T forced me to have a data plan for.

No issues as far as service goes unless I go someone in the middle of nowhere Indiana.
TMobile isn't perfect, but they don't have me swearing at them every month like AT&T did. The fact that I can bounce anytime is a huge bonus in my opinion.

OpenSignal and SpeedTest are the apps that I used.

#20Newsflash: many of your cars are governor limited to 120 or 130 miles per hour, even though the car could go faster. The vast conspiracy!
