I just ran it on mine and the reason it has the dimensions it does because he is using an image that should be in landscape mode but has resized it to fit in portrait mode without distorting the image, it will run fine but it has a fairly large black band at the top and bottom. hope that helps.

When I try to sample / listen to a ringtone from the settings / sounds menu the various ringtones will not play. I push the play button, the button flashes green, but the ringtone does not play.

Any ideas on what the problem might be here? The phone is stock, non-rooted.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtenterprise:
In order to gain access to the developer threads I thought I would postulate a question here.

Some background that lead to this question was the rumor mill around Big Red sniffing out Rooted users that tether.

I checked my data usage online and was able to pull up the file size of all internet transactions over the air. I could assume that if I was to tether the PS3 or used my laptop to download some HD movies or something it may be a red flag to see like a 6 or 8 gig file. Also, with a tethered laptop there would be other things running in the background that may point to non cell usage. Not to mention probably a lot more data consumption in general if multiple sources are sharing the connection at the same time.

Now, say I was tethering my CM7 nook. Would not the data in both size and format be the same as the Thunderbolt. Is there even a way for the powers that be to tell that is is not the Thunderbolt. Maybe someone could shed some light on this as it is one of the questions that I have.

I use 5ish gbs on my phone only no tethering. Just saying.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtenterprise:
I am at about 3 gig with about 10 days to go, and have not tethered anything to my phone. What I am guessing is that a red flag would be a 3 gig file in one download. In my Verizon it lists the size of all your downloaded files. My question is more about the type of data requested/sent from a tethered android tab vs a laptop.

If they can keep track of the size of the download you can assume that they can tell the type of the file.

Bear in mind that these are the ramblings of a paranoid dude. Sorry if my question is as clelar as mud.

Tethering is free. Use it as much as you want. They are using us to determine how much data can one pull with a 4G device.

So 4g tethering is free?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azturbomini:
I'm just saying...

A knowledgeable big red employee told me today that they have been tracking the top 5% of data users and "something" was about to come down. I don't tether so I didn't dig for any more info.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtenterprise:
I just wonder how much data the top 5% is using. Are we talking 100Gb, or would the top 5% be down to say 15 Gb.

Again, my original question still remains. Can they tell what kind of data you are using?

It does beg the question though, was free 4G tether a stress test on the new network, or a baseline for data consumption with tethered users?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrb123:
It doesn't make any sense for some big red smackdown to be imminent. they are giving every thunderbolt owner free unlimited 4g (phone or tethering to any device, it doesn't matter). your packets go through verizon's servers so of course they can analyze all data. they could sniff/analyze the packets and steal your passwords or any other data if they wanted to, just like any other company can like comcast/sprint/att. but do they really care? i highly doubt it. why would they start throttling users without warning? what will happen is on may 15th they will announce whether or not we early adapters get to keep "unlimited" 4g. now its truly unlimited, but i would bet in the future they will have some fine print about a ___ GB limit. you are not going to get in trouble, and yes they could definitely/easily track if your hotspot app is running or not by various methods of network analysis. rooted phones are more of a gray area, but as amazing as LTE is compared to wimax, I'd gladly pay for the hotspot.

so basically... don't worry, wait and see what the rules are in may.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordanzink:
I was talking to a friend that works at a verizon call center, talking about whether or not to get the thunderbolt. she said 3 things-don't get the thunderbolt cuz we don't have 4g, wait for the bionic cuz its bad ass, and she heard a rumor about data packages for the thunderbolt going up to $45 a month.

maybe the rise in price has to do with it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azturbomini:
She said, "The TB has no 4g"? Or Verizon has no 4g?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
No offense, but your friend doesn't seem to have thought out what she said very well. They aren't going to up data plan prices on those that already have contracts. They could yes, but you can bail on your contract without paying termination fees if they do so as well. Also, since the bionic will have LTE data (even if you don't use it), you will be stuck in the same contract as any of those that have the TB and if by chance they do raise prices and do so before you have the contract, you'll be paying the higher priced data plan.

Also, the bionic is similar to the atrix, just as the thunderbolt is similar to the inspire and other than the 2 core cpu, which will be more of a hindrance to performance for quite a while than improvement and the hdmi abilities, they dont have hugely contrasting specs. Well, other than moto blur, which is a shoddy piece of software and the locked bootloader that has about as much of a chance of being unlocked as you do winning a multi-million dollar lottery :).

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wetwaterdog:
I will be moving from a "talk" phone to a new TB or ?? in the next week so I have been reading and trying to figure it all out for the past 2 weeks now.

A quick question...assuming I get the Thunderbolt.

I will purchase the unlimited talk plan from Verizon, then add the $30 unlimited data plan. If I root my phone (plan to do) then do or will I need to also purchase the hotspot ($20) service from Verizon as well?

If I read things correctly, all I need is the unlimited talk and data plans ($99) and I am good to go. I can then use my phone to connect my laptop to the internet and surf on it when I need to. Is this correct?

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjm00:
I have this thing called a contract with Verizon. It's for two years. Big red doesn't get to decide if I get to keep my unlimited 4G on May 15th. If they send me a text message on the 15th saying my 4G plan is now changed, I get out of my contract without an ETF and go about my business.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nusince:
Sadly, no offense to your friend, but they would appear to know about as much as everyone else in VZW's call centers when it comes to things not read off their support terminal, which is to say exceedingly little, and nothing to be trusted.

Now while it is possible VZW decides to raise their LTE data plan prices for new customers they will not raise the prices on existing customers while they are in contract. Reason being doing so constitutes a breech of contract on their part which means you can legally break your contract without penalty. A contract is a two way street. You agree to pay $X per month for a set length of time (24 months in this case) and in exchange VZW agrees to provide you services as lined out in the contract for the duration of said contract. If any party performs an action that is in violation of that contract then said contract can be considered null and void and depending on which party caused said contract to be nullified the breech could be subject to any liquidated damages stipulated in said contract (read ETF's).

Now back to your regularly scheduled insanity...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkbladelawhk:
Agreed. 100%. Reading some of these threads make me paranoid as well.

Though I do have to wonder. If I were to tether my TB to my Eye-Fi SD card to upload photos, whether they would notice, care or know. Idears? :cool:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar3tte:
The fine print for when I ordered my TB says that tethering is free until May 15th, 2011. It's a "trial".
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkbladelawhk:
I checked my TOS. And it forbids tethering.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Transistor:
So many different opinions. I agree w whoever said the hotspot feature is a trial that ends may 15. At which time VZW will send you a text and ask if you would like to add the hotspot feature to your plan.

As far as the unlimited 4G and price increases I'm lost w what has been said so far in this thread

The older version of Pulse (I think one version back - do a search in the applications/themes section) allowed for more rows per screen. The current version only allows the 3 you mention. I'm sure you can dig up an apk of the older version if you prefer it.
[Droid X General] crxin:
So I have been looking around and doing quite a bit of research but have found very little help.

[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
You still have stock recovery. I believe if touch hold power+home to boot you will get into it
[Droid X General] crxin:
OK so I take it the Droid x is different than the HTC phones? Because right now I am not ready to make any changes but i was just working on my girlfriends incredible and I can't seem to get clockworkmod recovery to uninstall and the stock recovery to install. I just assumed that it was the same for the Droid x. Now that you mention it it makes sense. Is it because of the encrypted bootloader, that doesn't allow the recovery to be changed?
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
Yes that is correct. When we use the bootstrap method, it hijacks the boot process. It does not remove any files.

Cell standby uses a lot of battery compared to screen (48% standby, 38% screen)... and my time without signal is 5%

When I'm at home, I usually get between -90dBm and -110dBm on 3G.

Is this pretty low? Would it being this low cause my phone to chew through batteries like candy?

It has to be pretty low since incomming calls usually go to voicemail and outgoing takes 2-3 tried to get it to connect.

Hmm..

Time without signal is good. Its only 5%. If the majority of the tome your phone is off than yes cell standby will be the higher percent.

Recent fiasco of this very laptop being naughty when i was trying stuff with flashtool caused me to have to jack a friends computer for a bit because he had working SEUS. So now im back to the start. If flashtool cant root my phone by itself, then are there any root APPS that work?(Unless im stupid, and downloading the default SU app from market will root.)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheel:
It is complusory for the drivers to installed before using flashtool. Therefore in short: yes you have to have PC companion to use Flashtool. Also I suppose you could use an app called z4root or something like that (: I can't remember off the top of my head sorry D:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-FACE:
It depends on the firmware. If you are runing .504 firm or under you can root with z4root. If it's higher you need OneClickRoot or Flashtool and installed usb drivers.
