I don't know about the Netherlands, but here in the US it's illegal. I don't think there's a way to defeat a scrambler. Usually, the school makes these arguments:

1) If there's an emergency, use the school's phones. - Ok, well 1000 students aren't going to stand in line for the phone while the school burns down.

2) If there's an emergency outside of school, you can use the school's phones - A student should not have to go back to his or her school to use the phone because something happened that is worth notifying their parents about.

3) Kids use them for cheating - Give me a break. There are much easier ways to cheat. For example, paper? Or graphing calculators? You're gonna ban those too?
[Networking] frosty_ice:
It is illegal in most countries to interfere with the radio signals, but you would have to look up the specific law and possible exceptions for the Netherlands yourself (they might even have a website to look up the laws, at least we in Austria do)

How are they going to permit certain calls to go through when they are jamming the signal though? Could someone enlighten me?

[Networking] Tylerjd:
Personally I would sue the school. :P Or riot. Or maybe an EMP. But literally, I would take this to court. I don't have any links for evidence but im sure by calling a legal agency or even maybe the EFF (yes I know, they are technically in the US but I've seen them give advise to people overseas...) you could gather evidence and legal proof that what they are doing is against the law.

Maybe look into the technology behind it. If there is a way for your parents to get around it, then there are loopholes in the system.

That is my 2 cents, as a US resident. It could be much different in where you are. And i feel sorry for you bro.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
I've seen countless threads extolling the virtues of rooting your Streak. I haven't read through every post in every one of those threads. One of the things I've seen touted is that you can remove the carrier installed bloatware to tidy up the phone. What I haven't seen is a description of how to perform these removals. Does the option to uninstall suddenly appear when you open "Manage Applications" where it wasn't there before? Do you have to delete folders and perform some arcane ritual? I'm sure it is outlined somewhere. If someone could supply a link, that would be terrific.

Thank you.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad25121048:
Hi

My desire has been s-off'd, has oxygen hboot and oxygen ROM. I need to take the phone into three for some warranty work. I've look all over for the three UK ruu file but can only find 2 very old ones that wont work with my phone ( think they displayed error 130 or 140, can't remember now).

I think the rom files I found on shipped roms are for oled screens. I really need my phone putting back to stock so any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
130/140 errors mean the CID is wrong - you sure it was on a 3 UK ROM to start with?

Download this and run it without a gold card. If it works your phone is unbranded:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ad25121048:
It was definatly on three. I got it from there on contract and it was branded with their start up logo and extras in the rom. I will give that link a try later on when I get home but I'm 100% it's a three branded phone. Like I said, I think the only 2 RUU's available are for the 1st batch of desire with OLED screens. Mine was bought in Novemeber 2010 and has a SLCD screen. Wishing I'd not messed with it now :( Also, I remember when I was playing around with adb I got some system info up about the phone that said it's CID was a three phone.

Like I said, I'll try the link you supplied and post back later.

I truly believe most smartphone makers have missed the boat. They have chosen not to harness the power of community.

Nokia tried with the maemo community and the n900 phone. They just screwed it up so bad they managed to alienate their passionate developers and users.

Seriously: shouldn't ericsson be handing out prizes to the best devolopers? Hire them? Buy their ROM and use as a basis of their own updates? It would be faster and they would get community support.

I would be sponsoring the forum and be offering technical support as needed if I was running SE.

[Nook Color General] ateld:
Hi

I purchased a nook yesterday and now I am eager to put a new rom on it. Unfortunately, during the autonooker process, something goes wrong and my nook boots straight up into the stock rom and then auto-mount the sd card to the computer. My nook is running 1.1 as I just got it yesterday.

I followed all the burning to SD steps and it appears to work as it burns with success and the files appear from the computer. I have also tried using an image of clockworkmod but I got the same result. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

Does anyone know what I may be missing or doing wrong? Much appreciated, thanks!

SOLUTION:

Used a different microSD card reader for "flashing" the microSD card. Apparently my Samsung Epic cannot properly do this while my friend's can.

I'm looking for a simple, stable, free weather app.

It doesn't need to run all the time, but will preferably update fairly quickly when started. Nothing fancy needed. I found one that looked promising and would have been fine except that it was convinced I'm in Idaho when I'm in North Carolina.

Any suggestions?

honestly weather app in Clock works for me

Am using weather info provided in clock just have it on my desktop and click first thing in the morning to get the feel for the upcoming day. As long as you have location and background running updates over wifi very quick over 3g not to bad.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] mid_life_crisis:
Weather apps don't know where I am.

I don't understand why Maps and Navigation apps have no trouble figuring out my location but every weather app I try is incapable of figuring it out.

I tried News & Weather, which comes with the phone, I tried a handful of different ones from the marketplace. They either tell me they can't establish a location or they freeze while trying to.

Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vanemburghj:
Ensure the following

I have the follow enabled on my phone and weather app inside clock works like a charm:

Wireless & networks:

Wifi and 3G

Location and Security:

Use GPS networks

Use assisted GPS

Accounts & Synch:

Background data

Honestly has not failed my yet, very simple weather app and already part of the phone.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] mid_life_crisis:
I made my settings the same. The only thing that wasn't is that I normally have "Assisted GPS" disabled. I still cannot get weather to work.

Froyo 2.2 official release. I just rooted it today, but this has been going on for a few days now, so that has nothing to do with the problem.

Anybody have any more ideas?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vanemburghj:
Ok I use clock so try this

Click on clock click on weather even if location is wrong click on settings and set my location. If that does not work set your location manually. hopefully that works.

Hello everyone,

I have some questions about the Danger Rom 2.1 Rom for Cellular South HTC Hero CDMA.

1) Wireless Tethering is not working. After starting the app it asks if my phone is rooted. It was rooted and working prior to putting Danger Rom 2.1 on the phone, but now it will not tether.

2)How is Apps2SD supposed to work with this ROM? I do not have an app for it when I loaded the ROM so should I download one or does the application run in the background? I was also thinking maybe there was a setting issue that I did not have enabled/disabled.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just bought my father a brand new Streak. It came from Best Buy with stock 1.6 on it. I told him to run the update first thing. he just sent me a message that the update won't work as it is saying "No updates available".

Same problem with astro.. Will not move files.

A workaround is to do copy, then delete the original, but it is annoying as hell. Too bad though, because astro has quick copy/move function, rar support, and thumbnails. All of which i need when doing rom modification before flashing..

I haven't found a better alternative, well except this lg0x2 move issue, now everything is better;)

Anyone can suggest a superior alternative? I've heard the lightweight ones can f'''up files if a phonecall comes in whilst files are being moved..

I can live with the Copy/Delete measure if thats we will have to do. I will however send a message to the developer of Astro and tell me there is a issue with the 2x and Astro moving. Hopefully its an easy fix.
