[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brucelee04:
Hi all, so originally i got my Nexus S from CPW via e2save. Now when im in UK i am able to use any sim, so i put my "3" sim in and everything works as it should.

The problem i am facing is that now, I am in Spain for a holiday and the phone is not being recognized on any network.

If i pop my "3" sim in any other phone, i get to connect to the network "movistar" which is like the normal network here.

So my question is, is my phone configured to be sim-locked to vodafone uk, but allows other networks within uk only to access...or is it just something i need to change to get it to work?

Any help would be great as i want to use my phone here for emergencies etc.

[SOLVED]

Realised International Roaming wasnt turned on. Silly me.

[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
Google Voice lets you make phone calls over the Internet. It also allows you to use visual voicemail, which is a program that attempts to turn voice into text for voicemail messages. It's not very good, as a lot of converted messages do not make sense. But it's something, I guess. I think it's best use is for people that do not have a landline and have poor cell reception in their homes. Not sure how much use it will be on a mobile device.
[Epic 4G General] Dameon87:
Google voice is soooooo much more than that. It allows call forwarding to other phones, number blocking, call screening, ability to listen to and store voice mail online, and more. It also allows calling over a data network. You can text message, for free, with google voice.

This is a pretty nice feature in fact. Its going to really add something nice to the table.
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
You're right. I overlooked many features. I think it's because I have an unlimited text, voice and data plan, so those things were never of any interest to me personally. I never even thought of some of those features in my initial comment because they are so far from what I use.
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:
Simply put...

GV = VOIP ;)

GV + SipDroid = FTW :D
[Epic 4G General] drizek:
It also means cheap international calls to landlines.
[Epic 4G General] Robyn25:
I may be missing something here, but why is it that good that you can text for free with this when you have to have the huge plan that includes unlimited text just to have this phone on sprints network. Just wondering.

How does this impact Any mobile anytime? This was the reason I was hesitant to use GV on sprint...that it read incoming calls to my gv number as coming from a land line.

The unlimited texting may not be a draw for some, but the nice thing is that it gives you just 1 number and you can receive the texts on any device you have. You can even log into your google account onthe web and receive and send the texts there and it will all show up from a single number.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] keith5039756827:
Yea I know webos is "better" os but has no apps and no onscreen keyboards.

already runs on omap and I think the moto droid is simular.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LazPL:
Hm. I seem to be using an on-screen keyboard on a daily basis. And... No apps? Ehm. Well, I think maybe you should just switch to an Android phone and save some time, ours as well :)
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] sabianadmin:
Eventually hackers will become restles and get other platforms booting on the Pre, but for now web OS suffices.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LazPL:

sorry, I don't have enough posts to reply to the already started thread over in the dev forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995819

basically I wanted to know, is there any way to flash to this latest "PG05IMG_Mecha" ROM from that Chinese site but NOT completely wipe the phone & lose all settings, apps etc. I spent the better part of the entire weekend setting up and tweaking all my settings just right. would hate to start from scratch but I do want the battery life enhancements of the latest FW.

cheers guys
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
No, currently there is no way just to flash that stock rom over top. What battery life improvements are in the newer rom?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckman212:
Well I don't know the specifics but I believe they optimized the power saving algos a bit, I know HTC has been tweaking them to try to squeeze a little more life out of that tiny battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
Does it also have a custom kernel? I know the largest battery savings I've seen from my experience w/ custom roms came from a custom kernel that was geared to save battery life.

I can't find any information on the thread you linked about it having any battery saving benefits.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russ36363:
No, the custom kernels to the extent of the Dinc are not available yet.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luckman212:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12220034&postcount=31&highlight=significant+increase
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javawolfpack:
Yeah I know they've barely gotten roms w/ no bloatware out so far, which is a miracle in the turn around time from the device hitting the market. But sure they'll be there soon. So just interested in how this ROM manages to accomplish a battery savings.

Upon looking at the message in the thread about battery savings. If you remove bloatware and apps that constantly decide they need to be running you'll see a noticeable increase in battery life with that. You could also constantly fight to kill them and likely also see an increase in battery life. But the increase won't be as significant as when the custom kernels come about.

So if you aren't readily familiar with the manual process for flashing roms or say get a rom from a more reliable source (developer)... you might want to wait for roms to start showing up on ROM manager that'll automate the process for you and hopefully by then the custom kernels and other such options will be available. But I don't really trust a link for a image for my phone that sends me to a foreign website. You might want to check out adrynalyne's basic debloated ROM??

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt-86:
Good morning.

I have a DHD vodafone branded mobile.

I would like to backup this rom so after i can attempt to make a goldcard, downgrade,use the radio tool etc...

My question is,i start with a fresh DHD vodaf. Brand.it's version.1.72.

I install the rom manager and then the cwr mod recovery. Will it work?

Then i do a nandroid backup and after i can start downgrading and radio s.off etc..

Is that correct? In case i would like to revert i simply flash the backup,s-on and change the Cid to vodafone Cid.

I also would like to flash the radio.i see it's still not possible to revert from this procedure but i think it doesn't matter,i need the backup only in case i have to send the mobile to the sat.

Thank-you all.

I tried searching and didn't find much help on my issue, if I missed it somewhere I apologize in advance. I am sorta new to all this but I'm starting to pick up on it. So here's my issue, hopefully someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or need to do to fix...

I downloaded the Bionix v 1.3.1. It's on the sdcard. I go into CWM Recovery, install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, scroll to bionix, select, and click yes to confirm I want to install. I get this:

-- Installing: SDCARD:bionix-v-1.3.1.zip

Finding update package...

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/

mmcblk0p1)

(Device or resource busy)

E: Can't mount SDCARD:bionix-v-1.3.1.zip

Installation aborted

That's about where I'm lost? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Specialist88:
First, did you go into CWM Recovery and click on "Wipe data/factory reset"? When you are flashing a custom ROM, you would need to do that first, then you select install zip from sdcard (from the phone, not the external sd card), then wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, & finally Fix Permissions under the Advanced menu.

I believe you have rooted the phone with Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root, right? Well there are tutorials somewhere here on XDA that tells you how to flash. Hope this helps!

Also, when installing a custom ROM, you always have to put the zip file inside a folder called DCIM in your phone memory, not the microsd card, so you know where to install the custom roms. :-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amandadam:
Bionix 1.3.1 does not require you to wipe data,cache or dalvik.

It wipes when you flash it.

You don't put the ROM in DCIM,just the root of internal SD.

I am currently running latest bonsai rom and am looking at swapping to acs rom 1.0.2. I keep reading about using the sprint hotspot app for wifi tether. Does this enable sprint to bill for tethering? Can't really afford it if it does. Can't search too well due to pc being down and xda app is hard to search on so sorry if repeat topic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
The Sprint Hotspot app is Sprint's service. You pay $30/month to turn your phone into a wifi hotspot so that other devices can use your internet connection. Wifi tether does the same thing, except it's free. Sprint does not like that.

On a sidebar, AT&T is aware that customers with jailbroken Iphones are doing this (using a wifi tether service) and have sent notices to the users saying that they will automatically be signed up for AT&T's service package if they do not stop by March 30 (or somewhere close to that date). I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint followed suit.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ficjay:
Is there a way for a carrier to prove it one way or the other? I know that our phones are supposed to be more data intensive anyway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkasick:
Of course. Any Internet connection that's not explicitly encrypted is easily sniffable. I think most providers pay attention to the HTTP user-agent string which give away your browser and OS version, but that's often faked on phones anyways to get "desktop" versions of websites in a mobile browser (and thus, if you get a notice and not tethering, worth complaining over).

But if you play WoW, or stream Netflix, or do something over a tethered connection that can't be done on the phone itself, that's another giveaway.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] running_the_dream:
Yeah, it's really easy for a carrier to pinpoint an exact user and see how much data he/she is using and how he/she is using it (i.e. 3g, 4g, wifi). Additionally, it is easy for them to spot users that have hacked into their hotspot service. I probably wouldn't worry about it until I got a threatening letter from Sprint though.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylinetun3r:
Sprint seems to be a bit more relaxed towards it, just like tmobile is until att buys them out. I don't think sprint would do it as anymore than a warning. Tethering on sprint phones has been around for many years back to an old sanyo brick I had. They had tethering plans back then but didn't enforce them. They would help you get around the tethering bill on national phone support. They also have free apps like pdanet that allow you to tether in the marketplace without root so the whole thing with android is you don't need to "jailbreak" your device to tether free. Before I rooted and romed my epic, hero, evo I always used pdanet and never had issues so for them to step on androids toes would take more balls then simply saying the only way on an iphone is to break in and make it do this.

TL;DR. Iphone and android are different things in all ways.

Hi,

i am interested in flashing the following ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861690&highlight=insertcoin

it requires me to have an EXT partition:

A2SD (and yes YOU MUST HAVE an EXT Partiton after the FAT32 one)

can i use ROM manager for this? i haven't used it before so if someone can outline the steps that'd be well appreciated. plus is there anything else i need to do? as you can tell i'm very new to this so i need all the help i can get :)

p.s: the reason i posted this here and not in the development forum is cos i don't have enough posts to make any comments in the development forum yet.

thanks a lot!
[Desire General] peegee99:
I can't post in the dev forums either. It's an annoying rule isn't it. The other annoying rule is that you can't post URLs either, so sorry I can't give you any links for the stuff below.

I used gParted livecd to partition my sd card.

Steps are:

-Download the iso

-Burn it to the CD (burn as a CD image, not as a regular file)

-Boot up your PC with the CD in

-Answer a few dumb questions about your preferred keyboard etc until the GParted screen comes up

-take the SD card out of your Phone and stick it in your PC

-wait a min or two for GParted to recognize it, then choose you SD card as the drive

-shrink the existing FAT partition to make room for the new ext partition

-create the new ext partition of whatever type your ROM recommends (ext2/3/4) and whatever size you want

-apply the changes

Most guides I've seen say to wipe your SD card first, but I got on just fine with shrinking the existing partition without wiping, then your data is preserved.

There are plenty of gParted tutorials with screenshots.

Just be sure to partition your SD card and not your PC hard drive :)

from one newbie to another, hope this helps
[Desire General] markdomingo:
You can also try your recovery, some of them have partitioning tools built in. I have CWM Alpharev and in the advanced menu, there is an option for partitioning your card.
[Desire General] Saenic:
For the usual A2SD+ Roms out there, partitioning with Recovery works very well.

AmonRA 2.0.1 or ClockWorkMod Recovery should be suitable.
[Desire General] green hoodlum:
lol it is annoying. and thanks for the detailed info.
[Desire General] green hoodlum:
so i found the following instructions to partition via ClockworksMod Recovery:

A. backup your sd card to your computer. can't stress this enough, as partitioning will wipe the entire card.

B. Reboot into recovery

c. In android system recovery, select partition sdcard

d. In the partition sdcard menu, select partition sd

e. Follow the instructions on the phone to partition your sd card. You can optionally set a swap file while you are partitioning your sd card.

F. In the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext2 to ext3. Follow the instructions on the screen.

G. only perform this step if you want ext4 and your rom supports it: in the partition sdcard menu, select sd:ext3 to ext4. Follow the instructions on the sdcard.

h. Press the back button on the phone to go back to the main menu.

I. Put the a2sd file on the sd card (and all your other files you backed up earlier) by selecting usb-ms toggle and transfer the files to your computer.

is the above correct?

furthermore:

1. when i do a backup, whats the backup file called so i can copy it to my pc?

2. i already have a rom with no partition installed. before i create a partition (steps above) should i do a full wipe (cache/partition) and then proceed to the above steps?

thanks!
[Desire General] davebugyi:
The above sholud be correct.

1. Backups are located SDcard/Clockworkmod/backup/[date the backup was created]

2. No you, don't need to wipe anything, only if you want to flash a new ROM.
