I can't understand this some htc users(branded phones) say they dont have data sense but unlocked phones can have it the 925 has it supposedly -_-
Wtf /? Really Microsoft

Not really true. It has everything to do with MS. How do you explain my unlocked and unbranded Nokia Dev phone doesn't come with data sense either?It is up to the individual carriers whether they want to support Data Sense or not. It has nothing to do with MS

unfortunately, the Gdr2 update for Samsung ATIV S and HTC 8X, the two received earliest OS update so far don't come with data sense either.available on the newest OS version, thought
It maybe true for carrier branded phone. But what about non-carrier branded. There certainly doesn't have any carrier to block it. And as mentioned many times in other threads, the only thing that requires carrier involvement is data compression. But most ppl just want the data counter feature that (1) doesn't need carrier involvement (2) Android and iOS phones already had it for almost two years now. What's so hard for MS to give it to its WP8 supporters It's just one of those things why WP8 is still lack lusting in market share today.
You wish, there's a radio only on GDR2.available on the newest OS version, thought
WP will never be anything more than a niche device. Manufactured mainly for the die hard Windows fans and nostalgic Nokia fans. Most of the coming updates don't address the main problems with WP, that is not having the basic features you'd expect from a high end smartphone.
You can have your fantasy, and in it I'm enjoying my niche phone. But in reality, Windows Phone is gaining.WP will never be anything more than a niche device.

They said it would be available on networks that support it. I don't recall them ever saying it would go to all phones.It maybe true for carrier branded phone. But what about non-carrier branded.

Microsoft seriously need to address this. They made a big thing of this at WP8 launch and only Verizon users could get it. Now, two further GDRs later, they're announcing it again, presumably at least one additional carrier has signed up but do we even know who?
They could simply update the functionality, removing the carrier dependency so that the other features work in the meantime. In any case, what if I want to know how much data my app is using, regardless of whether it is carrier data or Wifi? It's just another half-baked idea that has such promise and could become useful as it develops over time but no-one can enjoy it. Same goes for IE data storage, Visual Voicemail....
I see a lot of ppl online complaining that they did not get Data Sense even after installing GDR 2 and that it is a carrier dependent feature. My L820 "unlocked" ( running OS version 8.01.10211.20 and firmware rev 1232.5957.1308.0001) had it working out of the box. Even before putting a sim card and also works perfectly on Vodafone India network.
Microsoft said it.exactly and then people say data sense does need a carrier to work which is total bs
