AT&t ask for a sim. with a line under no contract, since you will not need equipment. Get a number unlimited minutes and unlimited web and text is 90$ a month and less if you need less.

Go to a corporate owned store and walk out with an activated sim for free. Call 611 and tweak your plan with a Rep.

Now the important part is never tell them you are using a smart phone. Tell them its made in Antarctica or something. If they need an imei make one up, as no company has a list other than their branded equipment.

Also if your staying a while message me and route customer relations for a 25$ credit a month for 3 mos. Its simple. Like butter.

Happy trails.

Need to know if a8181, a8182, or a8183. Or specific umts frq. You are using for 3g speeds. Ex. A8183 is 850mhz and 2100 MHz umts.

[Nook Color General] adealey:
Absolute NooB to the NC here, so please be gentle!:)

I've got four issues that should be no-brainers but they are beating me up. I've split them into four separate posts to keep things clean.

3. I have CM7 RC4 installed on eMMC (would have preferred to run it from uSDcard but that's another story).

After I got CM7 installed, wireless configured and then gApps installed, I noticed that the uSDcard wasn't mounted. No problem, popped into Setup, Storage and mounted the card.

But this card had been around the block a couple of times, so I figured it would be best to freshen it, partitions and all.

Started ROM Manager and tried to partition the card. But ROM Manager wouldn't partition without installing CWR.

No problem... went ahead and installed CWR, then partitioned the card.

But now I have a problem.

No matter what I do now, I can't boot to CM7 if the uSDcard is installed it boots into CWR. Even if I unmount the card before rebooting, still goes to CWR.

The only way I can get to CM7 now is to physically remove the card, boot, insert the card then mount it manually.

Surely this can't be right.

What have I done wrong?

CWM doesn't work correctly if installed from ROM Manager...

[Nook Color General] adealey:
Thanks, danger-rat, for the pointer to CWR 3.0.1.0.

Unfortunately, I flashed it and still have the same problem. No matter what I do, boots to CWR if uSDcard is in place.
[Nook Color General] john10101:
Format your sd card in your computer. download the attached sdformatter (found it on these forums somewhere) and use it. it will delete any funky partitions on the card. it sounds like that card has cwm on it, and the nook will always boot SD card first.

Please make sure you take the sd card out of your nook, and put it in a card reader to perform this step. not sure if would work right if you tried it in the nook.

I have had to do this a few times to fix cards that have been modified to be bootable on the nook.
[Nook Color General] pmilford:
Hi,

The Nook Color will try and boot first from an external uSD card. If there is

a bootable image on it, it will boot from it. Unmounting (but not removing)

the uSD before rebooting does not change if the uSD is detected on

rebooting.

From what you say, if you have your external uSD in the slot, you say

you always boot into CWM - I assume this is running on the external uSD.

It sounds like you need to reformat and possibly repartition your uSD to all

fat32. There are several threads discussing restoring a uSD to a single

large partition.

One of them referenced this tool to run on a PC (I haven't used it)

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/

This will delete the contents of the uSD, so make sure there is nothing

you want on it!

I have been keeping several uSD cards around, one for flashing from time

to time and one for data and backups.

Hope this helps,

Peter

Hey guys, i'm going to be rooting my brothers Evo later this evening. The problem is, he stores all of his contact locally instead of syncing with his gmail account like suggested to him.

Is there an easy way to switch his contacts from local to gmail synced?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
What if you export his contacts to his sd card i cant find anything about syncing them with gmail
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
Yeah, thats definitely an option. I just noticed that whenever i add a new contact, my phone will ask if i want to save it locally, or save it with my gmail account. I was hoping there was a toggle of some kind to switch local contacts to gmail. If not, no worries. SD card method works just as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
Yeah I've run into this problem before also. I can not find a way of switching contacts from phone contacts to google contacts except for maunally.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skndeep102:
Actually after you export your contacts to the sd card you can take that vcf file and put it on the computer the go to gmail.com and import contacts and select that file this should add the contacts to your gmail that way they are backed up on the account just in case something happens
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konsts:
Has anybody figured out a way to use the back button to exit out of programs instead of hiding them so that you don't have to go to "manage applications" in order to force close them and save battery life?...i know, run.on.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokechecksave:
From what I understand the MT4G is supposed to do a job on it's own of closing most applications most of the time, better then any other android had (at time of release anyway). I suppose if you think it's that big of an issue you could download a task killer, but I've heard over and over again to not use on on the mt4g because you just don't need it. That's just what I heard though.

Could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konsts:
Is there a setting for that then? because nothing closes on my phone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustk1ll20:
yeah i agree on NOT using those task killers. i have seen many posts from devs saying they cause more problems then there worth. interfere with apps causing force closes and some other thing that i cant remember off the top of my head.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Google up "Why you shouldn't be using task killers with Android", read, educate yourself, and stop doing unnecessary things with your phone. Understand how things work before you attempt "making them work better", and screw them up in the process.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konsts:
Ok sounds good, but why then when you get rid of the bloatware like "amazon mp3" by disabilig them, do you get improved battery life? What am I missing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You don't. Battery life won't be bothered by having or not having Amazon MP3. The only thing you get is more memory (which isn't used anyway) and more space on the /system (which isn't used anyway). Additional thing you get that IS used - is less cluttered app drawer.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Task Killers do more harm then they do good. any developer, any coder, any one with any Android knowledge will tell you "you do not need it, and they do more harm then good". In fact Google themselves has said that it's not worth it. and the dev team @ Cyanogen will not accept a event log for trouble shooting if you have used a task killer.

But the reason we delete bloat ware is to gain that memory for other applications and data. no all apps can be stored to the SD card and they do leave a foot print on the phone. So we delete them to gain the space back.

Android phones are Lunix based computers which can multitask lightyears better than any current windows based computer system, phone or server. They were designed with this very principle in mind. In fact if you have ever used Ubuntu 10.10 they have a 4 "work spaces" where you can do different stuff simultaneously. similar to the "home screens" on android.

as far as them "running" in the background they are not absorbing any data/battery/resources from your phone. They are setting in a "frozen" state until you open them. In fact, if you didn't know this, if you press and hold the home button you can access recently open apps. It keeps them in the "frozen" state so if you switch back to them they'll open where you left them.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konsts:
Thanks for all the comments. But I don't need convincing on the task killers; I understand they're worthless. My intent was to find out how to make my phone perform better (battery life-wise). And although I think I have a better understanding on how android handles apps it also just confused me.

I used to get 8-10 hrs max on my phone and basically have to charge it all the time. Since I temp rooted (permroot isn't working for me) using VISIONary and disabled a bunch of apps using Terminal Emulator, I'm sitting on 23.5 hrs off the charger right now with 45% battery left!!! And all I did was disable apps. So I'm mad confused how I'm getting so much battery life when the only thing that's changed in my phone according to you wouldn't change anything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
battery life has alot to do with your social networks, and syncing. If i turn off everything, and turn the screen brightness to about 25%, i drop about 2% per 5 hours. So it really depends on what you disabled, and if they were absorbing any resources on your phone.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
That is correct. However, there is one situation in which I do end apps, and that is in the case of resource-intensive, 3D games. The MT4G has so much RAM, that even games like NFS Shift, X-Plane, and Jet Car Stunts never close. They stay running in the background forever, which is unnecessary. So I'll close those, but no other apps.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I do the same but i'll got to settings > apps > running > and sever them.

BTW Backbacker is a good 3D game.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I'm not finding that one. The closest I can find is this one, but that's a GPS resource, not a game.

[XPERIA X8 General] aldee_s:
I'm sorry if i post this in the wrong section of X8 subforum. Because i don't exactly know where i should post this.

Anyway, I'm asking about PS3 Jailbreaking with our X8. Well, you guys probably know that we can jailbreak a PS3 with Android phones. But as i see in here http://psfreedom.com/wiki/indexp.php?title=Device_compatibility_list, X8 is not in the list. But at this line

[B]There are so many different devices that it's almost impossible to list them all here[/B]..

If you do not see your device here, then the first thing you need to do is try to figure out which controller it uses.

* Go to wikipedia and look for the page corresponding to your device.
* Look at the box on the left of the page, for the 'CPU' of the device
* Depending on the device, try to find which controller is being used by following this table
* [B]Once you found the controller for your device, match it with the first column of this page's table, and look at its status[/B].

i can assume that if it works for another device with same controller as our X8, it would also work with our X8. You know that X8 is using Qualcomm MSM7220, and in the list, it is completed. So can X8 be used for jailbreaking PS3? Or maybe the Jailbreak script was device spesific?

I'm using nobodyAtall's miniCM 1.0.0-RC1 custom ROM (many thanks to him and all xda-devs here).

And also if it cannot work on X8's ROM, could it work on HTC Legend-ported ROM? like racht's Gingerbread CM7?

Thank you very much, and again, i'm really sorry if i post this into wrong section. :D

cheers. gerald:aldee_s

UPDATE : PSfreedom won't work on X8 right now, as it requires unlocked bootloader, and X8's bootloader is not yet unlocked, as well as X10mini, so we have to wait the devs to bypass the bootloader.

But there is an apps on Market called PS3 Brew Pro, it can jailbreak PS3 directly without recovery, is this for real?

[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
... I think that jailbreack has also to do with the hardware, is it was only software thing, there would have been made a pendrive version of it too. You should contact with the app developer in order to learn if there is a hardare limitation.
[XPERIA X8 General] aldee_s:
as i read on the website, the required thing is the controller, and it says that our MSM7220 can do the jailbreak. but, when i read HTC Legend and Hero, it says that, the jailbreaking needs the phone's bootloader to be unlocked before we can proceed. So i think the first step to jailbreaking with X8 is to unlock the bootloader.

but my question is, there is an app on the market called PS3 Brew Pro, the app said that it can jailbreak directly without recovery. thats why i confused, is it for real?

Update (April 8, 2011):

I was able to get Beezz working again. This issue had to do with push notifications.

To solve, I deleted these two registry values (and all their respective sub-values):

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\Endpoints

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\PushClient\ManagedEndpoints

Then I logged out of my account in Beezz, logged back in, and viola.

This fixed all my Live Tile issues, not just Beezz.

Original Post (April 6, 2011):

Has anyone been experiencing a lot of crashes using Beezz today and yesterday? I'm not sure if it's because it can't handle something going on with Twitter, or if it's just a unique issue to me. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, etc. but when I open it, half the time for the past couple days it crashes and just exits. Anyone have the same experience? Have you found a way to fix it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Same thing happened to me all of yesterday, so I finally went ahead with Birdsong. TBH I'm now wondering why I didn't do so a long time ago. While the Beezz notifications are nice they don't work half the time anyway and Birdsong more than makes up for it in speed and flow.

I don't want to root the phone because quite frankly, this isn't a huge issue for us and I don't want to screw it up. I am simply asking if other methods work for activating the hotspot without root? I am not interested in wired tethering because this is for the iPad.

I see the QPST hack posted on a couple of forums...does that work? Is it as easy as it sounds? I also saw on a few Droid X forums something about a 4636 code and airplane mode? Does that work on the Fascinate?

If nothing works besides rooting, that is fine. Just wanted a final confirmation.

All of the roms have kernels built in, and which kernels are mostly referenced in the release notes. The kernels are available to users as well for a choice if you need something special like CIFS support or a different governor; the kernel builders will mention what is available in their kernel. It also gives us the opportunity to update the kernel without having to reflash the rom.

I OC'd to 825-1497 MHz screen on and 245-368 with the screen off. I get the occasional (once in the few days I've been running the ROM) refusal to wake up, but I heard that's a bug in CM (which MIUI is based off) to do with OCing + screen on/off animations. I did, however, get tons of freezes and reboots when my maximum frequency was set at 1516MHz, which seems to be above the threshold my phone can take.

Anyway, that's my experiences, YMMV!

Hope I helped ;)
