Dude...you are getting way too bent over this.

You keep making T-mo out to be a terrible carrier...I'm just trying to convince you that they are the lesser of the evils.

No...he told the truth. It is unlimited data. The alternative to unlimited data is what Att does which is set a limit and then charge you when you go over that limit. It is (or should be at this point) common knowledge that if you have a mobile data plan that is unlimited...your carrier will throttle you if you use too much.

Um...no and no. I'm saying that it's there for you to read in the place that you should read before committing to a two-year contract. We're not talking about fine print locked away in a website that can only be found by searching one specific term...It's the TERMS & CONDITIONS and there is LITERALLY A LINK ON EVERY SINGLE PAGE ON THEIR WEBSITE. They are not hiding it...I really don't see why you think they are. Also...I never speculated why Alltel went out of business...I don't know why and I don't really care. They are not around anymore and have not been for a while so there really is no point in talking about it. :)

It's for MOBILE DATA. That's what the network is intended for...NOT HOME INTERNET. The service you want is HOME BROADBAND. If that's what you want...get that. They offer unlimited downloads and never throttle your speed because their service is intended to be used on a massive scale. What you are doing is like...Going to McDonalds and wondering why they aren't serving high class food. It's a restaurant...They serve food...gotta be the same as a 5-star restaurant...WHY AREN'T THEY SERVING 5-STAR FOOD!? Because you're looking in the wrong place, dude. If you want home internet...get home internet...stop expecting all of the carriers to conform to what you want when they are clearly just not set up for it.

Stop dissing T-mo...T-mo is the best carrier out there for what people on this site want from a carrier. Basically...they love nerds and are very very fair. Yes...the T-mo Customer Service people in store aren't the brightest people in the world...But it's because they are hired based on customer service experience not technology knowledge (Techknowledgy!? COINED IT!)...if they were A) I wouldn't be working on a Production Line making 8 an hour and B) Mobile phone customer service reps would know what the **** they were talking about.

Word?

@Whiskey Tango - Go to Menu>settings>Wireless Network>Mobile AP> Activate Mobile AP. This is what works for me, idk if maybe simple mobile is any different then tmobile or not.

So if you already have a data plan, you should be able to make your phone a "router". I have let many friends (w/iphones & att) use my mobile AP and it was 10 x's faster than there data connection.

I also tether my pc to my phone and have been able to load any page I went to.

Maybe I'm totally missing the question. Wouldn't be the first time. :o
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
I agree with the statement TMO is the lesser of two evils. I have had cell service with all the majors: Verizon, Sprint, Cingular/ATT, Alltel and now TMO. Unfortunately the only one that gave me decent service is no longer around. I went to TMO because they advertise unlimited data and when I talked to the rep he said they also have an unlimited voice plan. I am looking for the best value I can get. I’ve been around a long time and have watched this corporate mentality lower the standards of living for most Americans. Part of why this is happening is the passive nature of people in America. We have become complacent. We are not demanding enough on these companies that deceive us with their advertising and then don’t give us what they promise.

I am using this as my primary internet as I said because I drive truck and not home enough to warrant getting satellite service, which is my only other option where I live. Realistically when I am on the road I probably will not hit the 5GB limit very often. What sucks is while I am at home I get this lousy EDGE speed. After further checking, Sprint, ATT and Verizon all have 3G from the same tower that TMO gives me 2G and then TMO throttles that to 1G or less. So yes, I’m pissed off. But then I have taken action and voiced my concern to TMO. The result is I’ve been released from my contract. I have the option of going to another provider. The problem is I’m already with the lesser of the evils and next year there will be even less choice. I haven’t been out on the road yet to see what TMO will provide for service then. I will probably keep the service for a while until I see what kind of service I get on the road, and then decide my next move.

Hey guys, anybody else having problem once they activate the AP settings on there phone? I can get my computer to connect to the phone, and yet i can't get access to the internet on my laptop (vista).:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nwpro3:
Did you check Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks and check “Use packet Data” and “Data Roaming”. You also may want to check /Network Mode and switch between GSM, WCDMA and Auto Depending on what kind of towers you have around you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fosormic:
Hi there. Galaxy S 4G means TMobile. Remember, there is a crackdown on tethering going on the Android ecosystem right now, alledgely led by the operators. Maybe they are doing something? I'd doubt it, T-Mobile seems the most restrained and flexible of all, so far but one never knows.

There is plenty of discussion on whether the operator (they) can tell if can tell whether you are tethering or not. I'm not delving into whether it is true or not.​

Now, having said that, I connected my nexus 1 via wifi to my coworker's galaxy s 4g just for kicks and a speed test did work. No time to do it with my laptop...busy day.

Try to connect again, get a command prompt and type: ipconfig /all and report back.... g/luck

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcdoe:
HI All,

I realize there are some other threads on this topic but not for captivate running 2.2...

I just installed the new Serendipity rom (6.3) which i'm pretty sure uses the 'hacked stock camera' with power button mod.

Unfortunately, the camera images are all noticeably blurry! no matter how still i hold it. Also, the exposure is often way off.

The old camera app from 2.1 worked great. Really nice sharp, good exposure.

What happened to the 2.2 camera, and is it possible to fix, or revert back to 2.1 camera app??

I'm a bit new to this so sorry if noob question. I did check the other threads and nothing was similar/answered.

Thanks in advance.

Download SGS Tools,v4.7.3 its the one you need. Under upgrade stock apps, select GizmoDroids camera. See if that helps out any.

Sent from a place my wife doesn't know about (yet)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcdoe:
thanks for this info!

I installed the GizmoDroids camera and it seems like a slight improvement. it also seems much faster to load. have yet to test the video. Still, some bothersome issues with the GD camera app... the exposure compensation is 'greyed out'? Here's a big problem: the sharpness and contrast settings don't 'stick'. They are reset every time app is run. This is huge problem to me because i find that +1 contrast and sharpness really improves image, but i cant have to set it every time i run the app...

also, i've tried out camera360 and it looks much better too. i'm wondering if the blurriness in the stock camera has to do with the autofocus being 'off', or the compression method has changed.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white00gt:
You guys might want to post this in the Serendipity Q&A mikey and chance are usually pretty quick to reply, maybe you should try and re-flash

I have been on Serendipity since 5.8 and have not had any issues with the camera or anything else- ROM runs perfectly for me of course as with most things on the captivate may just be device specific.... But a re-flash has helped others with issues so it might be worth a try

BTW I have not installed any camera apps either and camera is fine

ok i believe that this question has been asked but it was not anwsered so i am gonna ask again with a twist. ok, ever since i had rooted my vibrant i have noticed that for some odd reason unless i reset my phone it will not play any media files. it says that (cannot play this media file) now this is for both audio and video. now after i pull out the battery (cause its quicker then a shutdown) it seems to be ok. someone once said that you have to make it rescan the sd card, which does not work nor would it affect video files from online (i.e. youtube) so i would appreciate any thoughts on this.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkurkis:
I have the same issue but I am not rooted but it has been since I upgraded to 2.2 Some times it will work fine for a few days then others only a few hours. The only solution is to reboot the phone. It will not play any music or mp3 ringtones or video local or youtube. I have reset my phone to stock with no installed software but that did not help either. If any one has any fixes for this please reply.

Thanks

Hey all,

I recently picked up a dock for my Xoom, and I'm wondering if there's somewhat to make the slideshow of the gallery loop. Right now it plays through all the pictures in the album and quits. With it in the dock, I'd like to just have it always displaying pictures.

Anyway to do this? Or some third party app that does the trick?

Thanks,

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikskcas:
Good evening,

Sorry if this question is not relevant,

I just bought a second hand Htc Desire, flashed SuperROM HD 2.0 than changed to InsertCoin HD 2.0.0 and both of these cases I get "radio : unknown" in all apps that give system info (Quick system info, Elixir, Android system info ....)

On the other hand, I get the right number in the bootloader and the main android parameters menu.. And all communications are working fine..

So I was wondering if this was a app problem with Android 2.2.1 or anything else.

When I was testing SuperRom HD, I couldn't receive calls when using 3G band, but working fine with insertCoin. Seems to be an android base issue, so I have read.

Sorry I'm new at this :)

I also wanted to know if ext3 needs to be aligned to gain speed with A2SD because I get very low quadrant scores (1250ish) with class 6 8Go miniSD card whereas other members seem to have very decent scores with same rom ...

I know the score is not so important but I checked after having some lags in very famous games :)

And just to be sure, ext3 can be updated to ext4 without loss of data ?

Thanks for your advice

Ordered the V2 FFC from MobileTechVideos.com last week. Got my package in good time, when I opened the package, it was the original T959 camera, not the V2 FFC that they advertised. What is worse, the camera is used. Probably an honest mistake on their part, but I am very disappointed and annoyed non the less.

Contacted them about the "mistake", hope they check their inventory to verify that they sent out the wrong camera and get me the correct one promptly. Once I get the camera, I will post my results.

I know for a fact the V1 that you get on eBay does not work well because of the banding issue under low light. I have one sitting around if anyone want to give it a try :)

Is there a way to make an app stay alive in the background?

I'm annoyed by Spotify being auto-closed when not used (on pause in background). This disables the play button on my Bluetooth headset to start it and also the position in the song and even what song and playlist is lost.

Maybe it was my old Desire HD having more RAM that made it less prune to close Spotify as soon as it was left on pause in the background.

Any ideas on how to make Android favor certain apps and keep them from being killed?
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
If it has a persistent notification (icon in notification bar), turn that on. It will stop the app getting killed. If it doesn't have this function you're out of luck sorry.

Plz read this and leave some feedback. My device is lacking developers compared to other devices. We have like maybe 2 true developers that know their way around code and what not. So i am trying my best to learn how to build roms. I recently taught myself how to port a rom and was semi successful in that it works except the normal problems like wifi, gps, etc.

Now the question. It there a tutorial on how to build a rom from sdk? Im seeing honeycomb roms pop up for other devices based on sdk. I would like to build a honeycomb rom for my device as well. I am clueless when its comes to code so i am currently reading up on things like "c++ for dummies" and other helpful books. im asking for either helpful links that a newbie can figure out with some reading and learning or guidance (if you're that patient).

Any helpful comments are welcome! Thx :)

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Moped_Ryder:
I have a feeling its as kernel issue and not a ROM issue.

To test (if some wants) flash a 2.2 ROM and take a pic with the stock cam and Miui and compare.

The reason I think its a kernel issue is some 2.3.x ROM kernels have issues with HD video. My thinking is since in essence its based off the I9000 kernel its not really the "best" drivers for the camera.

Next time I flash a 2.2 ROM I may test it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armoredraven:
Hello. So I got into a problem this morning while updating Golauncher EX. I updated it and when I pressed home, I accidentally chose to have GoTo (a lockscreen application) the default app for that. Now my phone can't return to launcher at all.

When I reboot I just get a blank screen and can't do anything besides bring the notification bar down.

I know I can easily fix this by going into settings, but I can't get to that without launcher. So I tried to get into safe mode (boot holding vol down, track pad, and menu) and I can get there after the phone vibrates (it says safe mode in bottom corner), but before I can do anything the phone reboots. I don't really want to resort to a factory reset yet, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.

Also I haven't rooted my phone yet.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Anyways, something weird happened where when I tried booting into safe mode, my phone seemed to wipe all my settings and went into the normal launcher. It didn't delete all my apps, but made the majority of them strangely force close whenever I opened them.

In the end I just rooted my phone and everything is perfect now!
