I used that link for my HeroC once upon a time. Just read everything carefully, the OP has everything laid out so that you can understand it. And using google or XDA search to find out what you do not know is always the best option before posting a thread about a problem. I know this for myself, especially with that mod, because I used it before. Plus searching and solving a problem personally always provides to be a great learning experience.

is there anyway to tell if my newly upgraded v6 supercharger script is the reason for my recent FC's and reboots when using the Google navigation.apk ? Everything was running smoothly for a few days, and i have not installed or removed any apps since then. What should i do?

Running OS: 2.3.4

Mod Version: aospCMod-HEROC

Build: GRJ22
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
I don't know what that script does but a nandroid restore always works or reflash your rom over itself and clear caches. You'd really be better off posting in a more appropriate thread, like the one the dev of the script made. It may be easier to disable than i know.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moisaal:
did just that and worked like a charm. V6 supercharger has made my phone faster than ever before and no more FC's (for the moment)

If you haven't heard all ready Verizon is tracking down root users and limiting there data or fully suspending it so watch out. But we have to fight back against them by hiding Verizon from seeing that we are proudly rooted and some people have said the would sue Verizon. Please do whatever you can to fight against this.

Also motorola and htc are going to start doing the same.
[Droid Pro General] kallyjk:
No they are not. They cannot tell if you are rooted. They can tell what radios you are using, but not that you are rooted or using custom roms. They are capping the highest users and assuming they are rooted. Most people don't need to worry. Quit spreading rumors.
[Droid Pro General] bencrawfo:
exactly right. you should fight verizon for gingerbread on this device. Or at least a fix for the things that cripple the pro.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smakazmi:
Hi,

I am going to get this phone shortly. Can someone please answer the following questions for me.

I have come to know that although the phone has 4 GB of internal memory only 1 GB is usable. Does this change when I install a custom rom (e.g. CM7). Can I then utilize all the space?

Another question. Does skype (video calling) work ok?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
The phone only has 1gb of internal memory, and when you install any rom, it uses some of that internal memory to store itself.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smakazmi:

That is wrong.

By the way, Option is the man that knows his stuff, if you ask a question, and he answers, its right. Savvy?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnut22r:
It has 4 gb of internal memory, but you can't touch all but 1. You can't even see it. So as far as anyone is concerned, it has 1gb.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
I'm not so sure because a Rom doesn't take up 3gbs. So the site may just have false info.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
doesn't matter how much internal storage it has, 1gb is used by the system, so it must have 1gb. whats the point of having 3gb that nothing can use. It's gotta be mis-stated specs.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
I'm not always right. However, this time I'm pretty sure I am. There is only 1gb of storage for you, the system, or anything else. If you found a website that says otherwise, its wrong.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
Is this was true, I promise we would have unlocked it for use by now.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptran:
PC Mag confirms 1gb memory. Think the g2 is the one that is screwy like that with the 4gb onboard memory, but only 1 is usable.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdub:
http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/EMMC/UnderstandingUserCapacity

This link will likely answer all of your questions. Basically it is 4GB in specification, but utilized in such a way as to have only 2GB available. Of that, some is used by the ROM itself for /system, /cache, etc, leaving us with about 1GB. FYI that site has a lot of useful information that applies to the Glacier even though he is specifically talking about the Vision. Very similar devices.

Also, I personally think it is a bit shady to advertise it as 4GB, when in fact it is actually 2GB. That's like advertising an engine as 300hp, when in effect it only has 150hp in your particular implementation. Just because the engine is actually capable, in some form, of putting out 300hp...lol Rough analogy, I know, but you get the point. Basically they really should advertise as 2GB.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smakazmi:
Hi,

From what I've learned since yesterday the mytouch 4g actually has a 4 GB rom chip but only 1 GB is usable (same problem as the G2). The following link describes this in detail.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#The_Missing_2GB

The PC Magazine has 'as tested' written in front of 'internal memory' so its an observation they've made. Not official specs. Official specs for MT 4g state that it has 4 GB rom

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdub:
Good link Ali. Thanks. That puts the information in more layman's terms. So I think the answer to the question of whether or not it actually has 4GB is "well, it does...but it doesn't"

[Xoom General] insyder:
I don't see the Xoom specifically mentioned in that article at all. That being said, if there really is any truth behind this, I don't really see them going any further then AT&T did with the original iPhone when they found people tethering and then added the appropriate tethering package. It's shady, I agree, but I have a feeling on Android it would just turn into another cat and mouse game of hiding the fact you are rooted against whatever measures are put in place.
[Xoom General] tyvallely:
Yeah I hope android turns this around. And hides us.
[Xoom General] wang1404:
Some dev might just come up with an apply that hides the status of rooted phones. It may sound like an easy idea but its extremely hard, though its not impossible.
[Xoom General] tyvallely:
I think they should start working on it now
[Xoom General] wynand32:
If I'm understanding this correctly, it's not about rooting the phones but rather about attempts to steal data service (via tethering without paying it). And whether anyone likes it or not, the carriers have a right to determine how their networks are used, including the right to say that tethering isn't allowed unless the required tethering plan is paid for.

I can't imagine the ability to sue Verizon or any other carrier for making it more difficult for users to violate the agreements they sign when they purchase services. Maybe one feels that locking the devices down is too broad a stroke, but then if that's the case come up with a viable alternative. Propose some other control to stop tethering on a rooted device.

Really, I'm amazed that people think the carriers are being "shady" by trying to protect their revenue streams (i.e., to protect their private property from unauthorized use), while users who try to get services without paying for them are, what, the good guys?

[Xoom General] Phylar:
You forgot the "Root and tether and not give VZW one mother****ing cent" option. Verizon is just plain evil.
[Xoom General] Stone 13:
I wonder how many attitudes will change when some of these pp are old enough to own their own businesses. I own a small business and if people can get over on you, people will get over on you. I see no problem with Verizon trying to protect their revenue. People need to realize that as a company, Verizon's number 1 loyalty is to it's stock holders not to it's customer. They provide a service and we buy it, or we choose to go elsewhere. I can't imagine VZW and the other providers doing this if they haven't noticed a hit to their bottom line.

Do I root my devices? Yep, both of them. Have I occasionally tethered to my DX? Yes I have, but I understand the risks and accept the responsibility. Once my Xoom gets LTE I'll buy the appropriate data plan for all my tethering needs.......
[Xoom General] Dubar:
What really bothers me is that there really is no stealing involved. Tethering doesn't magically get you service: you have to pay for the service you're tethering through. What's worse, being an android device, the xoom doesn't really use significantly more data than my phone would anyways. The carriers are just mad because people are preventing them from charging an extra fee, not for more service, but for using a different device. In reality this Is no different than if two people were sharing a parking pass for a private lot. If both cars are never parked at the same time, the service rendered is the same, but the company loses out On the opportunity to get twice the cash. Am i taking advantage? Absolutely. Using a device in a way other than intended, yep. Is that morally wrong? I think of it more as growing pains for new technology. Charging me twice for a single service, that sounds more like stealing to me.

If I can pay a flat rate for an internet connection at home, use a wireless router and connect as many devices as I want, why can't the same pricing principle be applied to mobile data? If your isp tried to charge you by the COMPUTER rather than by the bandwidth, you'd be furious. My phone + data service costs more than my home internet, even though it is slower, and requires no rented equipment or installation, (The cost of towers is theoretically shared by all of the users in the area, and I actually OWN my phone, and buy new ones relatively frequently). I still remember when we paid for the internet by the HOUR.

I understand why the carriers want to crack down; it totally makes sense, but as long as the general public continues to pay what they charge, the prices will continue to be set by the carriers, and not by the actual costs. I would much rather that the pricing structure be reactive to the way these devices are being used, rather than proactively restrictive because they want you on a contract. I think it is a good thing in the long run for both the consumer and the carrier if mobile data sharing continues to be un-resrictable. I believe that if they would just charge for the bandwidth and not worry about how that data is used, they would actually increase the market share for high end mobile devices and speed up the process of tablets bridging the gap with PCs.
[Xoom General] Neoterra:
yeah but a bit is a bit. why should they care(or being charge for)how i'm using my capped bandwidth? tethering isn't a service that they provide. its a feature of the device we are using.

It's like being charged for Water to your house. your paying for the service, and the amount of water you are using. Should you be charged again for each bathtub you have hooked up to your pipes? Or if i decide to use that water to water some flowers?
[Xoom General] BigSnarfy:
I don't get it, at least not in the context of the Xoom. Verizon's tablet data plans include tethering, so they are not losing revenue. Tethering is a built-in feature of Honeycomb and one need only go in to settings and turn on the wireless hotspot feature. No root, hacks, or tweaks are required.

Now smartphone data plans are a different story, but they have "unlimited" data.
[Xoom General] krat0s123:
+1 on this.. Very good point! It's funny how some people looks at us like we're stealing from these provider, and that we're screwing them over. When in reality we the consumers are the one who's getting screwed over time and time and time again by these giant corporations. The only and real reason they don't want us to tether is because they want us to pay a separate data plan for our laptops on the go, which is crazy! It's like getting an internet service at home and getting charged for every single connection through your wifi! Crazy!
[Xoom General] wynand32:
First, it's Verizon's service, and thus their right to determine how their services are provided. Nobody has to buy from them. And the bottom line is: people agree to use their services a certain way when they sign their agreements. One may not like their terms, but that's life.

Second, the carriers need to determine how much data is going to be used and provision their services appropriately. Notebooks and tablets tethered to smartphones WILL use more data; that's obvious. Hence, the movement away from unlimited plans and toward metered plans. We're seeing all sorts of responses to the dramatic increases in mobile data use, and this is just one of them.

I think in 10 years things will be very, very different and these things will have shaken themselves out. We're just suffering from the effects of demand for mobile data pushing hard up against supply. In the meantime, nobody should expect the carriers to sit idly by while some people violate their agreements and necessarily cause dislocations in their systems--which inevitably results in poorer service to other users and headaches for the carriers.
[Xoom General] theahlenius:
Unlimited services are tricky. Drawing accurate pictures of them is even harder in this case because both sides have things leading up to the million dollar question that are either unreasonable, or just stupid. People get caught up on those things when the issue is something plainer.

Unlimited *cellular* data is allowed under a set of circumstances. Those circumstances are supposed to put up "soft" limits (how much the single device can consume) on data consumption. You can only consume so much data through a phone. You and your data plan is not something that entitles you to a data plan aura, in that any device you can link to the plan falls into that plan. Intuitively, everyone knows this is the case.

Maybe it should entitle you to that, especially if you use tethering reasonably. I would like to see a 500 MB--> 1GB allowance for free, especially if your "unlimited" data usage is below average or within a range the carriers set. The carriers have caused a lot of this themselves by biting off more data plans than their networks can chew, and charging ridiculous rates for tethering.

I can understand the frustration from both, but tethering away and being surprised when the carriers try to stop you from doing it is just funny.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Well said. Its why I pay for a small plan and use wireless everywhere I go. :p no real need to tether anyway.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:
Which then makes me ask -- yes they can track all of this, but what will be done if you're not tethering on a device that's been rooted months ago? Do they know this by seeing actual network data use and tracking that they do or don't tether?! If that's the case great, but I'd rather not get punished for others stupidity.

I enjoy ROMs -- the legality behind tethering is just ridiculous. But you can bet they've got their bases covered. I just hope they leave people who don't tether 'illegally' alone.
[Xoom General] Gwartan:
Disturbing News

I read the post by P3droid and this is disturbing. I left the iPhone because of Job's vision of a "Pleasant User Experience". I have even gone as far as to get rid of my apple computers as I believe soon they will require any software installed on them to have to come from a Mac App Store. And P3droid makes a good argument that the devs and the people using their work brought this on themselves. I will include myself in this as well.

I have messed around with unlocking several devices over the years as a user not a developer. But I have never to my knowledge used anything on the devices that was pirated, or used services I did not pay for.

Maybe at this time we can start policing ourselves and not modifying the software that allows tethering, loading of apps that people did not pay for?

Also the companies need to start looking at communities like this and start talking to the devs and not looking at them as criminals.
[Xoom General] Xezuka:

[Xoom General] El Daddy:
How is tethering any different than connecting a router to your modem at home?

It sucks that the people who abused the hell out of their data plans ruin a great thing for everyone. On the other hand its the carriers fault for calling their plans "unlimited."

Also, the last time I signed a contract "how to tether" was in the T-mobile FAQ. :-/
[Xoom General] bigrushdog:
This is nothing new. ATT recently sent out notices to jailbroken IPhone users regarding tethering. I wonder how BigBlue knew? And, yes, it is about tethering. The providers can not stand the idea of a user doing something for free that they should be paying for. A bit is not a bit. It's the way in which those bits are used. When you pay for tethering service, you are paying for a user experience, not bits or bandwidth.

Solution: Sprint ftw
[Xoom General] alphahere:
I would not worry about this at all. The carriers can cut your services off but they rarely do. Why is that?? Remember that ISP's once tried to charge for the number of computers in your home. Complain and keep complaining they will back of. Remember they are leasing our airways. One election and they could be history. So the carriers are scared of real voters. Just as they can charge whatever they want we can decide who will lease our airways and what they can do with our airways. Push back works!

Comcast blocked torrent traffic until they were caught. By the way Comcast won there case against the FCC but they still allow torrent traffic. Why is that?

[Xoom General] krat0s123:
Well, that's the thing. We're paying $30 now from $10 before, for the supposed "unlimited" data, because apparently, our smartphones nowadays consumes more data than before. Which is understandable. And since that was the case, their arguement about wireless tethering consuming more data should be nullified. As the bandwidth throughput is for the service, not per device. And browsing the internet and/or watching videos on our smartphones consumes just as much data as doing it on our laptop with the tethered internet. Since the data throughput would be diveded per device, not multiplied. Besides, they already limited the supposed unlimited, where they would throttle the service once reached. So basically with tethering, we're just trying get as much as we can for what we paid for. And now they don't even let us do that. It's like they're telling us, we have unlimited data service but we can't really use it or give us some BS restrictions to the point where we can't really utilize it. And now they're forcing us to go 4g or LTE eventhough we have no way of utilizing it. Like sprint for example, they just started charging $10 more because of their 4g. Which is again, CRAZY! So like what one of the member here have brought up, these companies should be regulated. And we consumers should really work together to fight these company like what the OP has suggested. See what happened when iPhone came to verizon. Verizon started offering unlimited data to would be iphone customers, and by doing so, ATT gave out unlimited data to their iphone customers who stayed (loyalty program).
