Why aren't phones getting data sense

[a5cent]

I wish they'd give out a list of which carriers support Data Sense. I'm beginning to think its a Nokia exclusive feature since I haven't heard of one person with an HTC or Samsung with it.

I don't want a list. I want an explanation! Make it clear how the entire system works and what parts must be in place for Data Sense to work. As much as I like WP, this behaviour must change!

Microsoft! Anybody home! Are you listening!!!!!

I agree, they have been so silent on WP recently.

Total weird, my wife have data sense in her white unlocked 920, I don't on my black unlocked 920. Same carrier, same family plan. LOL

So the only carrier that has gdr2 on a for sale device is T-Mobile,quit ******** until the carries don't have it

Do both devices also have the same product number? Do both devices have the same OS version? Could you check that?

 

[Flavio76]

Yes exactly the same, exactly...
I do not know when she got the update, maybe mine will be in the following days....

Also you can't share it by clicking on it, only pin to home screen...

So she was updated to GDR2 but so far you have not been. Mystery solved. That isn't weird. GDR2 was stated to add Data Sense for some carriers.

 

[Flavio76]

But it must be shown somewhere in the phone that she got the update...where can I find this to make sure?

 

[kwajr]

She has data sense...up until now that was locked to verizon

What carrier / region are you? I have an unlocked HTX 8x on O2 in the UK and following the GDR2 update, I still do not have DataSense. Also, does DataSense still show up when the SIM card is removed? Perhaps it only appears on new, native GDR2 devices.

I wonder if I reset my phone (it would finally allow me install Halo SA!) whether it might appear? I still want to know which carriers around the world are now officially supporting it besides Verizon. Does anyone know?

lol ofc its gonna have data sense -.-

It appears that the new HTC 8XT comes with Data Sense preloaded.

 

[jfa1]

exactly and then people say data sense does need a carrier to work which is total bs

No that's not the point the point is that some carriers on their systems wont activate data sense and it wont work on their system whether your phone is locked or unlocked the system blocks it.

Glad ya got a laugh out of it. I just thought it was a standard Nokia loaded app. I had no idea it was carrier specific.
