Nationwide Outage for Sidekick Data Service
The reports are lighting up like a Christmas tree on SignalStrength and T-Mobile’s Customer Care confirmed that we are in the midst of a nationwide outage of the Sidekick Data service. It started late last night/early this morning and the 2-dots have been dancing all day long for everyone. So stop toggling airplane mode, put your Sidekick down, take a deep breath and relax. We’ll get through this together. T-Mobile didn’t give an estimated time of resolution, but said things should be fixed “shortly”. If it’s really impacting you, you might have some luck calling Customer Care and requesting a credit on your bill for the outage. Usually this will be in the form of free minutes or a $5 credit.

Wow I haven’t been on this site in a while ! Its been too long. But anyways, yeaa I’ve been lol @ all of my friends that have sidekicks because they’re going crazy over not having any data services! I wouldve been pissed if I still had my sidekick (r.i.p. Sk3 and skLX 2007-2008)) lol, but im a proud blackberry owner, so I was just breezing through on my wen browser and aim w/ no problem, and boy were they cutting мε some dirty looks! Ha!

Yeah, I knew it. It went off last night, I went to sleep, woke up and it was still out. So I called T Mobile, and they told me exactly what you just posted. They never know how long these things are gonna take. What has been going on, probably side effects of Danger about to be dismantled, hahaha. Something was going on with the Danger servers last week too, they weren’t pushing bookmarks, pic messages, saved RSS feeds, and other things, back to phones that had crashed, or in my case, I dropped it and the battery came out. It took days for everything to come back. I won’t be having a sidekick for much longer, so won’t have to deal with these outages much longer

Danger did a lot with the Sidekick, I kinda wonder tho if the writing is on the wall for them.
I think they (Danger) are being very irresponsible by not posting the status of the outage *somewhere*…but they’re Micro$oft now, so I guess any hope of ethics is out the windows
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:33 pm [ Quote ]
OK I’m so glad I’m not the only having this issue. I tried everything they said in the email before I read email and laughed because hiptop3 knows sidekick users too well. I freaked out and thought it was something with my phone. Unfortunately my SKLX 09 crashed and I don’t have contacts as welll…well atleast until it can connect to server again. I’m glad to here danger/microsoft is finally sending out an OTA to fix the SKLX 09 because there are major issues with it. Thank you for finally hearing our cry.

Danger is useless! Im on Telstra in Australia and we too have been having problems for a month now. You randomly lose data (that’s if you had it) and when you do MSN takes half an hour to sign in and the browser takes like 5 for google.
Think its time to pay out this contract and go somewhere else!

My contacts are fine, but I’ve been out of data service for over 24 hours now. Thank gods I can still get texts, otherwise I’d have forgotten all about good ol’ Hiptop3 here, because I get updates texted to me. “Nationwide SK outage” the text said, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I’d been just about to call Tmo and have their tech support see if it was my phone was the problem. I’d been toggling data on/off and soft resetting all day xD

Well, in a way I cab relate. It doesn’t vibrate for me, but when I turn it on a volume level, it makes the PAC man noise (for text messages

October 3rd, 2009 at 9:59 am [ Quote ]
This is outrageous already, it’s been about 2 days going on 3 without any data services, whats the point of a new sidekick LX 09 without data services? Forget about the rumored $5 credit they will give after this nightmare is over, I think only a $10-25 credit will suffice. Sad to say but makes me think twice about sidekicks, seriously thinking about making the switch to Blackberry AND another service provider.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:04 am [ Quote ]
I called T-Mobile and basically they don’t know when it’s going to be back on, so I asked about a $5 credit that people are getting, and the lady wouldn’t give it to me. So then I asked how much it will be to cancel my contract for T-Mobile, because I told her I am not paying for something that doesn’t work properly. She basically wouldn’t help me. And transferred me to the department to cancel my contract. I waited for about 15 minutes on hold, next thing I know the phone hangs up… I call again and the same thing happens!
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:08 am [ Quote ]
Similar thing happened to me, i called yesterday to get the 5 dollar credit (i got it), but then i saw today there was still not data service so i called again to cancel my contract an they transferred me to costumer loyalty dept. then it hung up, i called again an told them what happened so they credit me 19.99 for the month.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:30 am [ Quote ]
Yeah I’m sure they are very busy with phone calls, but I just called again.. same thing lol. I guess I will have to wait. I’m not gonna cancel just because of this, I just will get a new phone probably. The sidekick has been good to me for about 4 years, I have the 2009 now, but it just has way too many problems to count.

I’m slowly going crazy without my data services. I hate never knowing who’s texting me and not being able to get in touch with anyone because my contacts are gone. I also hate not knowing when I have an incoming text because my phone won’t vibrate or ring when I have one. But strangely enough it alerts me when I have a picture message.

My phone still alerts me when I receive a new message and I still have all of my contacts and ring tones I purchased from the download catalog. I have a 3G Sidekick LX 2009. I can still text. I try to go to a website, and it Request, but never actually loads the page. I’m fine. As long as texting isn’t gone, I’m okay, I guess.

This is freaking horrible. I use my phone for my cake business and the weekend is my most busy time! I can’t access my emails and IT SUCKS.
I’m getting sick of this. If you look up t-mobile on the BBB’s site, you will see that they are NOT credited by the BBB. Due to number of complaints and number of complaints unresolved. It’s absurd. When I first got my SK, my bill came to me with a differnt total every month!! I spent at least one hour on the phone EVERY MONTH FOR 5 MONTHS to get it fixed. They kept ******** it up. Finally, I filed with the BBB and magically

So, I went with my mom to the local T-Mobile earlier (not because of the data outage, she dropped her phone while it was on the charger and the charger broke inside of her phone) and I figured I’d ask to see if they knew anything about the outage (even though it’s Danger’s problem) while I was there. Funny thing was I think I knew more about it than them! One of the employees called customer care, and apparently they said Danger is updating their system, and data should be restored within 24 hours. The other employee said the outages usually don’t last more than 3 days…
So, fingers crossed it comes back soon!

Oh man, this is really taking a while. I had so much planned for today, & now I can’t do any of that because I can’t recieve any of my emails. Jeez, this is way to absurd & awful. I just got my 09 thinking it would always have service & whatnot. Now I can’t even count on having a freaking sidekick, this is bull.

I too am in the same boat with the outage. It really pissed me off, so I called T mobile, informed them that I took yesterday off and planned on working from the road, using my sidekick, well, needless to say this all happened, and I lost a client because I was not in contact with them! I am beyond pissed. So anyways, I called and they credited my accoutn $35, which is nice and all, but that doesn’t account for the thousands I lost from this client…

call tmo, tell them you’re losing clients because you can’t access e-mail/contacts/appointments and whatever and they’ll give you a 19.99-34.99 credit depending on what you pay. it doesn’t help but at least you don’t have to pay for it if it’s not working!

This problem is a Danger server problem. BUT! That begs the question of why don’t they have good HA infrastructure (High Availability) and a true DR site (Disaster Recovery). Don’t blame T-Moble too much, this is clearly a Danger fiasco. And that means it is a MicroSloth problem. Hmmm…I wonder just how interested MS is in keeping the Danger/sidekick technology healthy and ongoing? Well, I might look into one of the new G1’s. I will DEARLY miss the SideKick’s drop-dead beautifully simple interface. Oh well.

Hi everybody,
Sorry about all this. Fortunately, it is being worked on. Here is the official statement.
Danger, a subsidiary of Microsoft, and T-Mobile regret any inconveniences experienced by Sidekick customers as a result of a technical issue. This will limit customer access to data services but it will not affect phone or texting capabilities. We are working with Danger to resolve the issue and hope to have things restored to normal soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

T-Mobile and Danger/Microsoft are urgently working to restore impacted services to Sidekick, and deliver them to you as quickly as possible. Following is a status update for our valued customers:
* We expect data services to begin gradually returning in the next couple of hours (Saturday evening)
* Web browsing capabilities should be first accessible first; additional functions such as IM, social networking applications and email will then follow.
While we anticipate a significant portion of data services to be restored by Monday, some richer data services may lag. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience as we work hard with Danger/Microsoft to resolve this issue. We will continue to keep you updated as we have news to share. Thank you.

Hey guys, my internet is working a little now, it still has the 2 dot thing but im able to go online, dont have any contacts and email is gone but i have internet…called tmoble and got my 20 bucks too.
You guys need to just let it go. my contract ends in march, after that im switching somewhere else, i dont care what it is but there are so much better phones and services out there and im willing to pay money to be happy. and im not saying get an iphone, who knows ? i might go to sprint, i dont know but this anchor has got to go. seriously people wake up. the economy is bad and i bet if the next phone service to go out, it would be tmobile. take a minute and really think….does the swivel screen still impress you ? does it really ??? not me, im sorry, best of luck to you guys.

YEAAAA. Man i noticed that on the morning of day one something was wrong with the service so I did a battery pull (fatal mistake). I have no contacts my phone doesn’t ring wen I get texts and the few contacts I’ve added back in the past two days don’t even show up as themselves wen they txt me. Smh tmobile wen my contracts is done I’m gettin a blackberry on AT&T

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who is jumping ship. As soon as (if it comes back on at all) I’m moving ALL MY email, notes and MY address book over to a backup. I’m fed up with TMoible.

Mike,
I’m following you to AT&T to get my Blackberry. Maybe they will give us a good deal?!
October 3rd, 2009 at 8:45 pm [ Quote ]
Why do people need to act like this was so bad you need to switch service??
Yes it sucked and it was a pain in the a$$ but technology goes down sometimes. IT HAPPENS.
NO need to start saying the company sucks. The T-Mobile reps were answering call after call of the same thing for days — I work in customer service and I could see how horrible that would. The customer service reps are always the last ones to get the info and have to say some canned response from corporate — give them the benefit of the doubt here.
I DEF dont work for T-Mobile …. just sick of seeing people complain about stupid $hit

Or maybe regret any deals done with Microsoft to begin with… after all, they have a bad reputation on their operating systems.
LOL
… speaking of which do you guys get the “Internet browser has closed connection” pop-up often? this is the LX ‘09
Whatever the deal may be, I do hope T-Mobile would give a credit on everybody’s next billing statement

REALLY BAD DAY!!!!!111111
Went to the mall today. Tmobile is there so I went up to one of the workers that i usually knew. I started with my rants and things so the security came and tried to calm me down i did no such thing so after they tried resolving the issue of me having no service they started shoving me outside like im some type of teenager. Then went back to the mall later and tried apologizing to try to do the mature thing except one of the tmobile guys got an attitude with me (to think it was one of my high school classmates) got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air I whistled for a cab and when it came near the Licenseplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air I pulled up to a house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air.

Ya’ll need to calm down. This is the first time their has been an outage like this, and ya’ll are talking about switching carriers. AT&T is the crappiest carrier around. I’m still on 2 dots, but now web pages are loading. What was posted on the tmobile forums said services would start coming back last night. Luckily I have all my major stuff (contacts, email, texts) but I don’t have my RSS feeds, of course the Facebook and Twitter apps aren’t working. They better fix this, I need to call back and get the credit while I can

LOLOLOL!!! You mustve just gotten your sidekick recently. Sidekicks have been a problem for a while now sweetie. Its more than just this mishap.
October 4th, 2009 at 4:32 am [ Quote ]
Personally, I don’t blame T-Mobile.
Or Danger.
I blame Microsoft. They always, ALWAYS screw up everything they touch. The Zune, Windows Vista/ME/XP, Bing, etc…. none of these things were without problems. All great ideas, awesome concepts, nifty promises falling from the lips of their heralds…
But when it came down to it, Microsoft never delivered. The patches, updates, recalls, and bugs have made me less-than-impressed with their products. However, I will keep my Sidekick, and cherish it (although the usb port fell out and I’m charging it with a universal battery charger) until it’s permanent demise. And I plan on sticking with Sidekicks as long as they keep innovating and producing new, more advanced devices. I do ask, however, that T-Mobile, Danger and Microsoft work together to ensure this doesn’t happen again. Or at least not for so long!

It sucks I must admit..but the way you guys are all acting should be remade into a sitcom! Its waaaaaay too funny!

This outage opened my eyes really, I was freakin depressed over losing my service to the point I bit my nails off… smh I got a prob I’m addicted to this lil device, it controls my happiness. I decided to switch to G1 it can’t possibly control my happiness since it can’t even control its own apps.
Ps. Called tmobile the guy who answered was like yeah I’m going to start backing up my own contacts after this because you can’t trust technology. And he didn’t give me a refund
ugh

Wow. You guys need to calm down. I’ve had sidekicks for about 5 years. Starting with the 2, all the way to the lx. This is the longest outtage I’ve ever ran into. Other than this, I haven’t had a problem with my service in about 3 years now. And just because of this, I don’t plan on leaving. Its a problem, and they are fixing it. Don’t like it? Call them and enjoy your month of free data. Iphones, blackberrys and all the other phones have problems too. Moreso than the sidekicks sometimes.
So if this little inconvienience has driven you to cancel your contract and get another service, you need to calm down. Its not tmob’s fault. Its not even dangers fault. But they are working on, and are compensating you.

I love you, and I agree with you. People need to chill the hell out. I’ve only had mine since the Sidekick 2008, but I haven’t had a single problem until now. It’s really not a big deal, I wasn’t one of those idiots to pull out the battery. I never do that, it takes time to get everything back and not worth it. I’ll just do a soft reset via 1 + @ + 0 it’s better.

Hunny I have had kicks for 4 years … I’m on my 3rd since sidekick 2. Other than a few issues I’ve been fine. Any phone has problems. I’ve had more issues with motorola’s than any of my kicks.
Any time there’s an issue tmobile is quick to fix it. Since I’ve been with them since 2003 they upgraded my plan to unlimited for less $$. So idk what everyone problem is.
U can’t blame $hit on who answers the phones. They’re just doing they’re job. And sidekick is just one phone out of all that they have.
Just cuz we lose service 4 a few days doesn’t mean the world has come 2 an end.
October 4th, 2009 at 8:02 am [ Quote ]
first, obviously even if you lost your contacts you can still text. i have been since when it happened.
second, ive had the sidekick since the 3, and i have to disagree with the people that say the sidekick (any model) never gave any problems. for the past 2-3 months ive been getting crappy reception compared to a year ago. i havent moved and i lose the G a lot. so i dont know what YOU’RE talking about.

Um, what are you talking about? It has everything to do with Danger. The only reason why we’re allowed to send SMS Messages is because that goes through T-Mobile. The rest; IM, E-Mail and Web Browsing is on Danger’s end, and we can’t access those clients. Now, I’m not saying I’m going to leave the Sidekick because of the outage, because that’s ludicrous. I’m just letting you know that this most likely is Danger’s fault, regardless of how the server actually went out.
October 4th, 2009 at 9:53 am [ Quote ]
Gawd I feel like a idiot!!! I did a hard re-boot before doing 1 + @ + 0 which I didn’t know about till I read Will’s post. So I did 1 + @ + 0 and it saved 0 data which makes me feel like a idiot now. Is my data still gone now that I did a big noob job?
October 4th, 2009 at 10:03 am [ Quote ]
This is ridiculous. I tried pressing the 1 @ 0 buttons but i’m not sure how. is it just 1 + 2(@) = 0?
Someone explain this to me. I was getting internet yesterday a little bit but the G doesn’t show up and i can’t log onto IM.

The more i read the comments, the more pissed I get cause I can’t live without my cell phone cause it has to be the left side of my brain. My 8 year old has the Sidekick LX and his service is out but it doesn’t affect him cause he doesn’t really use it but to talk to me and mommy anyways. I’m sure there’s someone out there ready to jump off a cliff cause their phone is blank like mine. I swear I hope this **** is back up soon. I feel like my phone has been stolen and I have a prepaid right now. lol

Actually, if you go talk to a T-mobile rep, IN THE STORE, they have received an email pertaining to the nationwide outage. They would have gotten the email yesterday, being saturday. And it explains to them how to get you a $29 credit on your account, not a $5.

i’ve had nothing but problems with my sidekick 08, my battery will overheat about once a week or more and will drain in about 15 minutes and ive had constant service problems and now this just adds to the problems. everytime i call t-mobile about the battery all they say is to ‘turn off the device and turn it back on, that should fix it’ come on… really. thats obviously the first thing i would try. then i call again and they tell me if the problem continues to call back. well clearly its not going to go away on its own. i really regret not getting a blackberry at the time

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT anyone? RE: tmobile sidekick outage
We should not be forced to MAKE this company handle this situation responsibly. I understand it is not their fault, but an email or text from them would have been nice. This has happened too many times, I do not want to pay for this ****.

I don’t wanna calm down. This is so ridiculous. Yeah whoever has the time go and sue them. I only get so much time off from what i do, and when i can’t even get a hold of anyone……all i can say is they really let me down..
i just get off the mega bus a 12 hour trip to find it wasn’t the bus that i lost service on.. couldn’t receive my friends email about their co-op house location where to meet, find their number to let them know i arrived. had to hitch my way from one town to another.. i didn’t have a place to stay. yeah, one LITTLE thing for some people is a BIG problem for others.. so stop your ignorance and don’t think this didn’t cost people more problems. i thought i was paying so much money to get away from this bs.

First off, it’s spelled ’supposedly’.
Second, stop blaming T-Mobile or Danger, it’s Microsoft, who has bought over Danger.
Third, it’s not the end of the world, data services will return, and if you call I’m sure you’ll be happy getting a month’s credit for data.
Fourth, I don’t know why anyone would use their tmail account for important information. Unless using the other tabs for other accounts. But even then, I’m pretty sure you have access to a computer to check those e-mails.
To note, I also lost all my contacts. You may think I’m stupid for taking my battery out but it’s not for that reason. Since I couldn’t do much, I used my phone to listen to music via my bluetooth headset, and at times causes my phone to freeze and there’s nothing else I can do but take the battery out. Anyone else get tha problem? But I can still text… Hey, be happy you still have that.

First off, it’s spelled ’supposedly’.
Second, stop blaming T-Mobile or Danger, it’s Microsoft, who has bought over Danger.
Third, it’s not the end of the world, data services will return, and if you call I’m sure you’ll be happy getting a month’s credit for data.
Fourth, I don’t know why anyone would use their tmail account for important information. Unless using the other tabs for other accounts. But even then, I’m pretty sure you have access to a computer to check those e-mails.
To note, I also lost all my contacts. You may think I’m stupid for taking my battery out but it’s not for that reason. Since I couldn’t do much, I used my phone to listen to music via my bluetooth headset, and at times causes my phone to freeze when it’s on sleep, the light still blinks but can’t get the screen up, and there’s nothing else I can do but take the battery out. Anyone else get that problem?
Oh and we’re all going through this, you’re situation isn’t unique to the problem. Most of you say you’re switching phone and service, but I can’t help but get the feeling that not even close to half of you will. And if you do, you’d regret it. There really isn’t any comparison to the Sidekick’s simplest and most convenient interface and it’s capabilites at multi-tasking.
I can still text… Hey, be happy you still have that.

Its a good thing I had some on my SIM card cuz it let me import SIM contacts. So at least I got some of my social life back.
This diaster is actually kind of a nice break from annoying ppl on my phone. But breaks are temporary. Danger need to step it up as soon as they can.

I’ve been In I.T. for a long time. I’m very curious about what’s going on under the hood here. Standard IMPORTANT computer functionality in reasonable businesses have infrastructure in place to ensure that the systems have High Availability and there there is a Disaster Recovery option. Hmmm…I guess Danger/MicroSoft saved a few bucks in the past few years by NOT treating their customer facing systems like they are IMPORTANT.
Someone in upper management must have taken the attitude presented in Nicholas G. Carr’s “IT Doesn’t Matter” Article from Harvard. I hope they lose their job and not the low level technical worker bee…or maybe Microsoft outsourced too much of this to India.

The reason why T-Mobile’s service are down is because one Microsoft is having a meeting with T-Mobile about the sidekick. 2 There will be an Over The Air Update or OTA for short. This OTA Update is to comfort the sidekick signal with the new Microsoft signal. Please be patient as this Outage will end by tomorrow night. Thats all the information i can give you. They said there will be something big on the OTA that will affect all sidekick users, but i have said to much.

You are WRONG — I have been around since sidekick 2.
I have more problems with Motorola & Samsung phones more than any kick I have ever owned on every carrier.
If I ever did have an issue it was usually my own fault & T-Mobile was always quick to help – whether it was a new phone (if within a year). upping my minutes if i was over – or adding me onto a loyalty plan since I’ve been a customer since 2003.
The ($20 a mo) sidekick service cannot be beat — the G1 is garbage – keyboard is HORRIBLE — and if you can afford to pay the iphone service than have fun– but i dont know too many people right now that can afford to throw that $ away right now.
Everyone needs some damn patience … and does anyone who posts on this board know how to spell?

I think most of these complaints are sarcasm and if not then its just freedom of expression. Chill out please. And BTW…I think Tmobile is doing this on purpose to get rid of sidekick users. They’re ready to just sell the product and get it off their hands. And if anyone thinks that’s just a childish opinion then get over urselves cuz not everyone has to agree…which is why its called “opinion” in the first place! Im jus sayin =D

internet on sidekicks is restored now….still waiting for everything else to be fixed….this is exactly what I said when I called T-Mobile
“I’m calling about the problems with the sidekicks…its been goin on for 3 days now and I wanna know when its gonna be fixed”
they basically told me that they apologize for the inconvenience and they are working around the clock to get full service restored as soon as possible.
Then the customer service rep gave me a $10 credit…yes a $10 credit not $5 like most of you got =]

First of all, for those of you that have your “Whole life” on a Sidekick and didn’t have enough sense to have a backup somewhere else, then you deserve to lose whatever you’ve lost. Common sense will tell you that NOTHING is perfect. Especially PDA phones that take a beating every single day (Even those of you that “Baby” the phone will occasionally drop it) The issue is with the Danger server. If you Morons that are complaining will see, your calls and Text messages still work Fine. Calling and yelling at a T-mobile rep, will do nothing but make you look like as ***. It’s just a phone. If you have E-mails that you need to get to, go to a computer and check them. It’s not the end of the world, so quit your bitching and deal with it. Life. It happens. It’s just a F*&^% phone. BTW, for those of you that want to “Sue” T-mobile…..Look at your agreement that you have. Your lawyer will laugh at you.

Okay I so have 2 dots and the internet is sorta working. every other time I try to do something it closes the connection. I just find it funny that this outage occured right when i made the decision to cop a blackberry
October 4th, 2009 at 10:55 pm [ Quote ]
I called T-mob on FRIDAY after-noon about this and it’s now MONDAY morning. I have the the internet but nothing else.
I just got this sidekick after my other one stopped working. Which had nothing to do with anything I did. This Sidekick 08 has been nothing but a pain since I got it last December. Now, I’m having battery problems and this whole deal.
I was really looking forward to getting a new phone but when I went to T-mobile I realised that I’m really use to the sidekick and everything else seemed to weird. So, I’m stuck.
I hate the sidekick, but all other phones seem to complicated to use. But this server problem needs to be fixed, for real.

The current SideKick outage underscores the failure of companies like T-Mobile to properly plan for system outages. The Danger server has been encountering problems for some period of time causing brief service failures. Contrary to the statement posted by JFlo the SideKick is not just a phone. T-Mobile marketed the product as substantially more than a phone and the data service is an integral part of the package. The Desktop Interface was a major selling point for the product. SideKick users should contact Customer Service and insist on a full credit of the $19.00 fee charged for the data service for the entire month. The $5.00 is insufficient to cover the problems created by the continuing service outage. Should the outage continue into 05 October 2009 Monday, I suggest that SideKick users file complaints with the Attorney General’s office in their respective states and/or the Consumer Affairs Office in their states.

I am going to t-mobile tomorrow.. and complaining and then going to demand a different phone!.. this is bs we all pay so much mony for this plan and don’t get what we paid for. i don’t know about you guys but this is once too many for me already. time for a different phone. i have had ever sidekick made basically and this is the end of that sadley i need a phone that is going to work the way i am paying for it. my contacts are gone no internet no email no messenger nothing.. its a freakin paper weight and a guessing machine to see who is callin or texting because it doesn’t have any contact numbers on my phone ..sucks .. so i am officially done with that **** and if i get further troubled from this i am file a complaint then switching service providers…

So I just called tmobile and talked to a hella nice guy who kept it 100% real with me. He gave me the background on sidekicks and everything and I seriously talked to him for 45 minutes..lol..So for those who don’t know..here’s what he told me:
1. He got really upset when I told him that I called 728328103 times before I talked to him and everyone was telling me that service would be restored in 2 hours or 24 hours or any kind of time frame because the truth is, even the people at tmobile have NO IDEA when it will be restored.
2. The Danger server went down before but not as severe as this time and what out for about 5 days.
3. All of our contacts and other data should still be secured even with the system down.
5. DON’T CALL TO GET CREDITED NOW! He said that honestly the best compensation you will get will be when the whole problem is resolved that was they can compensate you for EVERY day for however long the system is out.
6. He basically told me that honestly all we can do is wait. It sucks but life throws you curve balls you still gotta try and hit that sucker out the park!
Good luck to all my fellow kickers..I hope this helped!

Well i’ve had my G7 all morning, but no contacts. I don’t need internet, what i really need is my contacts. Its annoying to ask everyone who text’s you, “WHO DEEZ IZ?” I probably missed out on 2-3 booty calls this weekend. I spoke with a rep and she said that they really don’t have a clue when the full service will be back.
October 5th, 2009 at 7:19 am [ Quote ]
THEY ASKED ME TO SIGN IN TO MY PHONE AND THEN IT TOOK LIKE 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO LOAD BUT NOW I FINALLY GOT MY G … HOPEFULLY ITS PERMANTLY

I still have my contacts – but when a txt comes in i don’t hear anything, it doesn’t even vibrate. And it comes in as a unknown number. Whom ever is suppose to be resolving this outage.

I’m so frustrated with this whole thing. My LX dropped out of my pocket and battery fell out. Contacts are gone and I can’t text anyone. It’s really frustrating because now I can only get in contact with people via my email. On my computer. Which isn’t the most convenient thing seeing as I’m a college student and am not in my dorm room or on my laptop 24/7. I’ve had nothing but problems with my phone for the past year and have spent so much time trying to fix them, but no one has been any help (from multiple T-Mobile stores, numerous SIM cards, and many, many dropped calls a city where I should have good service (according to a T-Mobile person). I can’t wait until my contract is up to go to a different carrier. I love my Sidekick, but not enough to keep on dealing with these problems.

The itouch keyboard SUCKS!!! But that mybuddy feature thingy for all the instant messaging is ALMOST as good as the sidekick feature. Too bad the keyboard was created for typos.
And I’m in Florida tooooo!! How did someone else in FL get their G but not me?? I’m sensing favoritism =(

So, I’ve been all cool an patient about being without contacts and data for the last 4 days. But this is getting ridiculous. I haven’t called T-Mobile yet, should I? What’s everyone getting??
October 5th, 2009 at 10:16 am [ Quote ]
Dont call now. Theyre jusy gonna tell you theyre working on it. You see how some people are getting their G’s back today, just wait til tomorrow and see if you dont have your data by then if you absolutely must call.

12:30pm in Chicago, still no G3 on mine. Chatted with T-Mobile this morning took me a good 45 minutes to get service tho. Not that it mattered, I just popped the chat window up in the corner of my screen and worked on my computer till it came on. They offered me 5$ but after a little bit of dramatics, and stating I needed to consider another service provider. (after 5 years) They waived a month for me. Altho I would really like to have it back on. I have a back up blackberry if this doesn’t clear up soon, but I am not that fond of it.

I’m having the same trouble with my sidekick too. Luckily we can go on mobile web, but not IM. I still have no contacts, email, or any of my notes back. The thing about my phone is that my battery dies 2 hours after charging it for a full night so i thought it was that at first!

Just saw this on the tmoblie site:
“Updated: 10/5/2009 12:30 PM PDT
Attention Sidekick users! Danger, a subsidiary of Microsoft, is continuing to work urgently to resolve the service disruptions affecting T-Mobile Sidekick customers. Please see below for the latest updates:
10/5 12:30 PM PDT – IM services and access to social networking applications are now being restored along with Web browsing. The Address Book, Calendar, and other features are available as well. Do not remove or ‘hard reset’ your device, doing so may cause Address Book and Calendar information to be lost. We expect e-mail service and back-up of user data to be restored today. Some richer data services, such as new purchases from the Catalog, may take longer to enable.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and appreciate your patience as Danger works hard, around-the-clock to resolve this issue. T-Mobile will continue to keep you updated as we learn more. Thank you!
All posts related to this Sidekick outage have been merged into one thread in Help and How To ”
So I signed into AIM, Twitter & myspace, 2 of the 3 came back & brought my “3G” with them. Myspace is still out as well as all the (most important) stuff backed up on Danger….

Danger Inc. and Microsoft run the backend service that hosts email,IM etc. The Web Browser, oddly enough, is also proxied by Danger/MSFT but works fine.
MSFT has no interest in keeping the Sidekick brand around-as it is trying to hawk a horrible consumer device called PINK(internal name.)
T-Mobile and MSFT have also had a bad relationship since the Danger acquistion because T-Mobile was not interested in MSFT PINK and MSFT told T-Mobile they were a 3rd rate carrier not worth producing a Sidekick for. Since Danger was under contract to deliver a new device and at least one new upgrade in software, MSFT was forced by lawyers to fulfill it’s obligations. But delivering a product with a backend service is not the same as maintaining the product line’s backend service.
It costs MSFT about 1,000,000 a day in penalties when the service goes down. The service is supposed to be up 99%. 1 Million is nothing to MSFT(it was to start up Danger Inc.)
MSFT has a deal to deliver PINK to a bigger competitor(Verizon is named) and could be trying to kill the Sidekick brand off and driving customers to the other carriers.
Also, the MSFT backend service has been “upgraded” to support PINK devices lately. The failure to fix the data services point straight to Danger/MSFT-not T-Mobile. TMobile is being held hostage by MSFT I am guessing

Got my G back finally, but it disappears back to two dots sometimes. Freaking stupid. I want my contacts back too, if it doesn’t get restore, that is ******* messed up. Is it just the LX 09 sidekick that has the sign in? ‘Cause my 08 didn’t have sign in, the G just appeared.

I got my G around 2:15pm today in Florida and its been going off and on ever since then. I just got my 3G about an hour ago just for it to go back to the regular G and then 2 dots again to back to the G again. =/ I also got the text message from Tmobile but I never saw a sign-in page and I still dont have any contacts. This is all with the Sidekick LX 2009 btw. Im still bein patient. I was able to import 50 of my contacts that I had saved on my SIM card so my life is only half paralyzed…but I need my other 150 contacts and facebook/twitter apps to be fully social again.

this really sucks its monday night and still no service dont we get charged for sending text messages? because thats all I can use at the moment. I have to access my aol mail from my computer at home cant do it while at work from the sidekick and no tmail as well. I feel we should be given instant credit without having to call because there are alot of sidekick users who are hearing impaired. I love my sidekick but I have been seriously thinking of changing phones when my contract is up this just might seal the deal I am pissed that this has gone on this long.

Ok so I got the internet back and aim and stuff.BUT I accidently dropped my phone yesterday and the battery fell ou tcuz my lx 09 is **** and I alsob took out the sim card to observe it. Lost all contacts and pic messages.can’t go to t-mobile because my mother will be up in my biz observing everything on my phone and I h8 when she sticks her nose in everything. I don’t have time to even be writing this so I can’t’ gather any phone numbers. Someone reply or quote or w/e because customer care is being hogged up

I understand. I have the Sidekick LX 09 too and lemme just say that I think it was the worse sidekick ive had. If it wasnt for its “expensive” look and awesome quality on the screen I wouldve went back to my 2008 a long while ago.
My battery also fell out when I dropped it and I too loss all my contacts. As we are witnessing, they are working on getting all the sidekicks back up and running so theres nothing we can do but wait. Theres thousands of sidekick users out there and I imagine its gonna take more than 5 minutes for the company to get everyone’s working back to its original state.
So my advice to you is just to be patient. I dont think it will be too much longer. I’m personally waiting for the PINK phones to come out so I can try those. I love the sidekick’s design but as for the functionality, eh..its just not working for me. And its more than just this problem but the Sidekick LX 2009 altogether. Maybe they just built up the hype too much but I’ m ready to get rid of it.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:29 am [ Quote ]
what tmobile is doing is crediting people for the full month of service. it don’t matter if its the old 19.99 plan or the new 34.99 plan. and if you guys were smart you would back up the contacts to the sim card. thats what i did. but its still a hassle because it doesn’t come up in your text messages who’s texting you and stuff
October 6th, 2009 at 8:31 am [ Quote ]
ugh i dropped my kik as well and the battery fell out. This was before i knew about the outtage and now im pissed because all my contacts got deleted and the txt is fuked up. I betta get sum kind of refund or jus end my contract b/c after this im done with tmobile

Go to Menu – Settings – System Info
The last 4 numbers of the IMSI should be your password.
But it doesn’t work for everybody, like myself I called tmobile was on hold for about an hour & a half but when I did speak to someone they reset my password and gave me $17 credit. Got my G back 15 minutes after.

Dear valued T-Mobile Sidekick customers:
I realize that for many of you, your T-Mobile Sidekick is how you stay in touch with your friends, family and others. I sincerely apologize for the impact the current disruption of data services may be having on you. I assure you that T-Mobile is working very closely with Danger/Microsoft to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. T-Mobile-supported services, such as voice calls and SMS/MMS, have not been affected and continue to be operational. Danger/Microsoft has been working, and will continue working through the week, to restore data functionality and other features.
I understand that this data service disruption is very frustrating to our valued Sidekick customers. For many years, the Sidekick has been, and continues to be, a cornerstone device for T-Mobile. And we believe Sidekick customers are among the most loyal customers anywhere. Recognizing that, and to address any inconvenience Sidekick data customers are experiencing, T-Mobile will automatically credit one month of data service to customers who subscribe to T-Mobile Sidekick data plans. There is nothing you need to do to get this credit – T-Mobile will post the credit to these accounts in the coming days.
We will continue to post the latest information and FAQs to these Forums. I appreciate you being a loyal T-Mobile customer, and appreciate your patience as everyone works hard to resolve the current issues. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jim Alling, Chief Operations Officer, T-Mobile USA

I kno right. I really need my contacts back. I went thru my phone bill and added some numbers from last months bill. I had to ask who everyone was but I still got a few that way. I also scored about 4 new numbers. I also added new notes and such. I hope once I do get all my info back that they don’t just erase everything I have now. UGH that wud be frustrating!

OK AND TO ADDRESS EVERYONE WHO KEEPS SAYING THEIR PHONE DOESNT RING OR VIBRATE WHEN TEXTS AND PHONE CALLS COME IN. THIS IS BECAUSE YOUR PHONE IS BASICALLY JUST AS IT COMES OUT OF THE BOX. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RESET BACK TO FACTORY SETTING. GO TO YOUR TEXTING AND GO TO SETTING AND CHANGE IT BACK TO WHAT YOU WANT IT TO RING OR VIBRATE. SAME THING GOES FOR PHONE CALLS.
IF YOU HAVE DONE A HARD RESET BEFORE TODAY BECAUSE YOU WERE UNAWARE OF THE DATA SYSTEM BEING DOWN DO NOT WORRY, YOUR CONTACTS AND NOTES WILL COME BACK. IT IS A SLOW PROCESS I KNOW, BUT THEY WILL RETURN.
FOR ANYONE BITCHING ABOUT WANTING A NEW PHONE BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATION THIS IS WHAT IS BEING OFFERED. ALL T MOBILE SIDEKICK USERS, IF THEY CHOOSE TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT PHONE, WILL NOT BE PENALIZED IF THEY ARE NOT ELIGABLE FOR AN UPGRADE. YOU WILL STILL HAVE TO PAY THE LOWEST PRICE FOR A NEW PHONE THAT COMMONLY GOES WITH A 2 YEAR CONTRACT. ALSO, CHOOSING THIS OPTION WILL NOT EXTEND YOUR CONTRACT.
OBVIOUSLY I WORK FOR T MOBILE AND I AM TRYING TO ANSWER AS MUCH AS I CAN FOR YOU GUYS. SO IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO KNOW FEEL FREE TO ASK, BUT I WON’T KEEP ANSWERING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER. YOU GUYS HAVE HAD PHONICS IN SCHOOL SO USE THOSE SKILLS AND READ WHAT HAS BEEN POSTED.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:27 pm [ Quote ]
thank you soo much for this info.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:42 pm [ Quote ]
ALSO I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH IT TO YOU GUYS, DO NOT RESTART YOUR PHONE, SOFT RESET, AND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE TRY NOT TO LET YOUR PHONE DIE, WHICH I KNOW IS HARD BELIEVE ME, MINE ALWAYS SEEMS TO DIE RIGHT WHEN I LEAVE WHEREVER A CHARGER IS.
BUT WITH THAT SAID THE REASON FOR THIS IS SIMPLE. BASICALLY WHAT EVERYONES PHONES ARE DOING IS TRYING TO RECONNECT TO THE DATA SERVICE. THAT IS WHY THE G KEEPS COMING AND GOING. BY TURNING OFF YOUR PHONE OR LETTING IT DIE, IT IS BAD BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE LONGER FOR THE PHONE TO RECONNECT TO THE DATA SYSTEM ESPECIALLY WITH EVERYONE TYRING TO DO IT AT THE SAME TIME. AND BELIEVE ME I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS THEIR CONTACTS BACK.
AGAIN I AM TRYING TO EXPLAIN THIS TO EVERYONE IN THE SIMPLEST WAYS SO NO ONE IS CONFUSED ANYMORE. I HOPE THIS IS HELPING YOU GUYS OUT. LIKE I SAID, IF THERES ANYTHING ELSE YOU GUYS WANT TO KNOW FEEL FREE TO ASK. I WILL BE CREEPING THIS SITE FOR AWHILE TO MAKE SURE THINGS GET ANSWERED.

Hi Joe.
Thank you very much for the help. I have 1 question. i always turn sidekick2009 off before I go sleep and let it charge all night until morning.
but i should let it on and let it charge all nite?
thanks again.
October 6th, 2009 at 7:55 pm [ Quote ]
what do you mean? it doesnt show the @tmail.com?
October 6th, 2009 at 7:57 pm [ Quote ]
yeah, i always do the same thing as well, leave your phone on all night while charging. if your like me and turn it off so you don’t get woke up just put it on silent mode. keep it on as long as possible until everything is back to normal. turning your phone off and then back on will just pro long you having to wait for things to return.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:02 pm [ Quote ]
Joe.
Thanks very much. I will let sk09 on and let it charge all nite while I sleep.
you made me relief about everything will come back even I did hard reset on last friday. I was worried.
you are being very helpful. Thank you again.
October 6th, 2009 at 8:09 pm [ Quote ]
no problem. yeah i have had ALOT of people asking about the hard reset. even i did it on friday before any of us knew what had really happened because usually when something goes wrong that is what we tell people to do. your contacts will come back, and on the extreme off chance that they do not everything you have on your phone is backed up on the danger data servor. think of it as a giant computer. so if your contacts never do return it is possible to retrieve them manually. it’s frustrating, but very possible. promise.

Finally, someone who is hearing us! Joe, you are a man of integrity in this. May I ask if you are a christian? It doesn’t make a difference. I’ve been praying over this and I knew this was an attack from the “evil” one. But, yet God does come through for me in unexpected ways. You my dear friend has showed me that I (and many others) need not worry. If I remember right, last year at this time there has been a server down in the Columbus, OH market AND I with the service tech told me to take the battery out, later that night or Monday morning came every thing started to come back. With 23 to 25 percent of stored email, yes, it does take time!
I’m no computer techie, but I have worked around enough to know that there will be mishaps. That is why we ALL need to back up our emails, notes and ADDRESS BOOK. Emails, anyone of us can go to the local library get a email different from Tmail or “copy/paste”. With addresses, has anyone heard of the “paper dog-eared assistant”? Paper and pens, please.
So, yes we all need to learn from this. Some heavenly and yes some not so heavenly.
For you Joe, I applaud you for coming on here and saying your peace for our spirits.
By the way, just for the record. I am a newly christian, baptized on Father’s Day of this year. I have been battling diabetes, toes being taken off and now cancer. I have seen and know that God is BIGGER than our Sidekicks! I will be the first to admit I have made my phone as a god.
Joe, can I call TMobile and turn you in for a good job well done?
Thanks and God Bless and Help those who don’t know you, Lord.

well i truely thank you for all the nice comments. it’s awesome to hear people are not having to worry as much. i won’t say what religion i am but i will say i went to private school for 12 years. so do with that what you will. also, i appreciate the offer to call up t mobile but i have to decline, technically we are not allowed to come on here and answer this stuff. they would rather have you come in to the stores so you browse our awesome products, but i figured after the 500 comments of confusion i’d lend a hand. but again, i thank you for the offer to call on my behalf. just knowing you would if you could is enough, again thanks and i hope everything works out for the best for you.

Am I the only one that suspects T Mobile is stalling (especially about us ever getting the contacts back) while they consult their legal department to draw up a defense for this fiasco? This is hardly getting the press coverage it deserves, and negative comments (on their responsibility/handling of the matter) are removed oftentimes from their “official forums” over at T Mobile.com. i s,ell a stinking RAT..and that rat looks like a SIDEKICK 09.

Help- Should I still not turn my phone off and on? I got my tmails but the attachments are not showing. It’s happened before all I had to was restart my phone and I got them, but now that we’re not supposed to, I don’t know if it’s safe/a good idea.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:39 pm [ Quote ]
Oh and text alerts are back for me…and actual names are showing for who it’s from, not just a number. But stll no contacts… I guess that’s some reassurement that they’re backed up somewhere. Slowly but surely I’ll say.
October 8th, 2009 at 4:42 pm [ Quote ]
i also got the text alerts back and names when people text. i still got no internet no notes picture mail or emails/tmails. idk what to do! i wonder how much damn longer its going to be

October 8th, 2009 at 8:02 pm [ Quote ]
Seriously wtf!!!! I would rather have my contacts back than the ******* browser. Somehow my phone turned off while I was in the car earlier. so does that mean that I’m gonna have to wait even longer now to get all that stuff back???? Hey joe help me out I just want a idea on how long this is gonna take!!!!!
October 8th, 2009 at 8:24 pm [ Quote ]
I’m back in the same boat again.
All day today I had this funky white circle with blue dots chasing inside of circle over the pink T. I had do several soft resets to get the device unstuck, it would keep freezing up. When will all this be over? I want to join the “class action lawsuit” to get MY INFORMATION (it’s not TMobile’s or Danger/Microsoft’s information to keep). it is MY notes, emails and contacts with names, numbers and addresses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
October 8th, 2009 at 9:21 pm [ Quote ]
my cell says it need to be reset….how in da world do I reset my SK? please anyone help… email me at daisy187mari@yahoo. thanks!
October 8th, 2009 at 9:30 pm [ Quote ]
don’t worry, you should be fine. the hard reset is basically the main thing. honestly t mobile is trying to cover it’s *** by telling everyone to make sure their phone doesnt goes off. just try not to let it happen again. i accidently shut mine off earlier and everything came back like my fave 5 and stuff. just still no contacts. but you should be fine.
October 8th, 2009 at 9:33 pm [ Quote ]
do a soft reset. hold down the @ key, the 1 key, and the 0 key all at the same time. that is considered a soft reset. whatever you do, do NOT take out the battery.
October 8th, 2009 at 9:40 pm [ Quote ]
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP.
AS OF 8:30PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME THE OFFICIAL WORD FROM T MOBILE IS THAT CONTACTS WILL START TO BE RESTORED BY TOMORROW NIGHT AND SHOULD BE FULLY RESTORED BY SUNDAY NIGHT OCTOBER 11TH. NOW OBVIOUSLY THIS COULD ALL CHANGE AS DANGER IS HAVING ISSUES REBOOTING THEIR SYSTEM. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS YOU WILL START TO SEE NAMES SHOWING UP WHEN YOU RECEIVE CALLS AND TEXTS FOLLOWED BY THE ACTUAL CONTACTS BEING RETURNED TO THE ADDRESS BOOK WITHIN A SHORT TIME AFTER. IF YOU ARE SEEING NAMES INSTEAD OF JUST RANDOM NUMBERS SHOWING UP THEN YOU ARE ON TRACK TO BE HAVING YOUR ADDRESS BOOK FULLY RESTORED.
THIS WAS THE OFFICIAL WORD AS I LEFT MY T MOBILE STORE TONIGHT. OBVIOUSLY THIS COULD ALL CHANGE AS WE ALL KNOW HOW DANGER (MICROSOFT) IS NOT THE MOST RELIABLE LATELY.
AGAIN, I WILL TRY AND ANSWER AS MUCH AS I CAN FOR YOU GUYS.
October 8th, 2009 at 10:15 pm [ Quote ]
okay sk peepz… to get your contacts back go toyour address book and click settings then click Import SIM Contacts…
October 8th, 2009 at 10:36 pm [ Quote ]

Hi, Joe.
Thats great news! thank you very much!!! your news lighten me up!
I have 1 question. I added yahoo account in email before. But since all gone, Should I add yahoo account email in again? or I should wait for all come back? Ohhh also In tmail email, “sent”, “saved”,”draft” are empty. are these will come back too?
Thanks again.
October 9th, 2009 at 10:06 am [ Quote ]
Joe,
I’m having a lot of panic attacks over this ordeal. I need my contacts. In meantime, I’m trying ride this out. I’m even moving all my emails over to my at&t email so I can move forward with a new phone when everything is moved over. I will “stick” with TMobile but get the Blackberry.
Could you re-assure me again?
Thanks
Kelly

My two “special folders” that I made came back when round two of emails restored. I’ve been moving all the emails that I can over to my at&t email in the meantime. Then you have watch for them to come back again and again. I emptied out the smallest one so those have been forwarded.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:46 pm [ Quote ]
sorry for the delayed response, ive been diagnosed with swine flu and have been basically on my death bed. but anyway, everything should be restored by sunday night. you should see names showing up when you receive calls and texts followed by those names returning to your address book shortly there after. no information has been deleted. and if for some reason your contacts and notes to not return on their own they can be retrieved manually but that of course is more of a last resort option.
i do want to touch on a topic many people have been bringing up. i can assure everyone that t mobile does in fact take this matter VERY seriously and has begun the process to seek legal action against microsoft for this issue. as much as you would all like to blame t mobile for this, and in some ways it is their fault for not making sure microsoft had a back up plan in place for an outage such as this, t mobile has been loosing ALOT of money because of this. for anyone seeking to inquire about the lawsuit against danger and what is being done then you will need to call t mobile and ask to speak with their legal department. it might be a seperate number that you have to call but everyone is entitled to the information and the steps t mobile plans to take to deal with this matter. obviously their are alot of issues between microsoft and t mobile that have transpired since the purchase of danger by microsoft. i won’t get to into it because it is alot to type. but i can assure you t mobile has some very exciting ideas when it comes to the sidekick future.
with that all said, please, everyone, be patient.
October 9th, 2009 at 12:55 pm [ Quote ]
i will try ans answer this as best as i can. when it comes to the emails being restored everything has been spoke of as one unit. meaning when you hear that email service will be restored that means tmail as well as other email accounts you have added. now honestly, i can’t pretend to know to much more about that, as you actually have caught me off guard with that question lol. i will say, after reading your comment i did make some calls and ask around and the best answer i could come up with is if you can go ahead and restore the yahoo email account back to your phone if it does not return when everything is back up and running, obviously with yahoo you are able to check that account via a computer, but if you do not have access to one then i would say go ahead and re add it. the worst that would come from that is if it does come back to your phone after adding it a 2nd time, you will just have the same account showing up twice. as far as emails being lost from your tmail account and not showing up, i would wait a day or 2 before going right out and saying they are gone for good, i know some of my texts have been deleted as well and will not be returned, in all honesty i would say prepare yourself to deal with them not coming back just incase that is what happens. but once data service is fully restored you can go to a t mobile store location and ask them about it, i know a few ways they are able to try and retrieve those saved emails for you.

Am I the only one who feels like Danger owes us more than the $5 T-Mo credit?We should get a MAJOR OTA to make up for this.Sk LX’s should be able to Stream YouTube now and LX’s 2009’s should get a better web browser or something.

Hope you get better from swine flu. you have been thorough and try to help us. I really appreciate it.
