While I wasn't as clear as I could have been, my first comment was a reply to whether or not you would get the tethering charge.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
Yes, they could know, but they will send you a text to buy their tethering plan. Next time you try to log on tethering, you will get tmobile website asking for you to tether.

You can get around it by downloading user agent addon for ie or similar program. Change your browser user agent to mobile and you will be good to go. I have been doing that for some time with no problems.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
I use my tethering to play online with my ps3(cod) almost everyday and I play for hours. I've never gotten any text about my tethering nor been redirected to any website when trying to use it. I been doing this since I first got my mt4g.

well im waiting to here from my friend who was a tool and die maker still. he is out of town. would really like to use his more specialized tools, high spindle speeds are needed for the tiny tooling needed and a jewlers drill press would be better than what i have. i could do something a little makeshift with a dremel but would like to do it a little less sloppy. also curious why it should be 2 pieces? just trying to figure out what you are seeing...

Maybe you'll get more to bite with all the mix ups of bootloaders between 2.3.x and 2.2. Seen at least 5 ppl between various forums say "flashed back to 2.2 from 2.3 and bricked :("

I would love a JTAG adapter but currently none is available in the whole world for this phone. Member AdamOutler has been slowly fabbing one up for other purposes that may benefit me in the JTAG quest. But there is also a chance my skill will develop first and allow me to directly solder to the pads which I have managed to already do once and I'm hoping for some repeats on the boards I have currently in transit to me! If all goes well, I can go live with this service middle of next week.

I sent him my hard-bricked Captivate a few days ago, and he was successfully able to recover it with with JTAG. JTAG has been something I have personally looked into when I was more active with the Captivate, and I can say that soldering to the main board is a real pain, and I applaud him for his skills in being able to do so. He was able to fix my phone and return it very quickly. His hard brick recovery service is a real asset to the SGS guys!

Thanks again!

The program MobilGo, which automatically downloads drivers to talk to the SGH-i897 and works fine with my other i897 sees that there is a device there, but it cannot talk to it. Also, I put a sim card into it and went through the steps to power it on, but the phone did not respond to a call. Finally, unless I power it up while holding in the volume button, I don't get any devices to show up in the device manager. I think it needs a total reload. Can you point me to the steps to reload from such a basic condition?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilokilo1066:
If your phone is rooted you have what is known as 'superuser' permissions. You can confirm if your phone is rooted by downloading a free terminal emulator from the android market. Tupe 'su' in the terminal and you will get a request for superuser permission. If this happens you have a rooted sgs. I am not sure about your kies error though, however if it persists there are many alternative ways of upgrading your firmware and can be found here on xda.

Hope this helps

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Official version Gingerbread you wait until Kies has the version for your phones product code .It is not a worldwide release its rolled out over days or weeks .

"This version of the device can not be updated."

= no update yet for your phone try in a few days .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Im not sure that is entirely correct...

Kies SHOULD say "Latest firmware already installed"

If you have the this device version cannot be updated you will need to do the kies reg hack to make it pick your phone up as something else and then install FW that way.

You may have to do a couple of FW installs to get onto GB
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMD9:
Download Root Check from Market very handy to find out if you've successfully rooted or not.

To root read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

To upgrade to Gingerbread read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037584

Read everything carefully until you're comfortable trying it. If you're not then don't, the good people on here make stuff like this a lot easier for all of us, so it shouldn't be too daunting :)

Bear in mind the official Gingerbread roms in the link above may not be for your region, they weren't for mine, but I upgraded anyway and everything's working fine (though the auto-brightness seems to have a mind of it's own).

Read, and re-read and best of luck if you decide to go ahead :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

I had the same problem. Kies detects the new firmware version, starts to download it and gives the message that the device cannot be updated.

hello,

i've finally managed to flash newest recovery and get my cm7 installed :)

now i am tryin to update my radio to newest version but ofcourse i am havin problem with that.. i am runnin cm7 with nightly 40, cmw 3.0.0.6, i downloaded newest radio but in cwm it says i cannot be installed cuz there is no more someking of scrippter in cwm 3.0.0.x oO, next i've tried via rommenager but it goes to recovery and i get the same error all the time ;f

what can i do with it? is there a way to flash radio with cwm 3.0.0.6? if no, how can i safely downgrade cwm to version that will be able of flashin radio?

cheers
[Wildfire General] WarningHPB:
whats the exact version radio that your trying to install?

cause i think the latest radio that i've installed is:

Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
[Wildfire General] bx19:
yes that is the latest radio version. it came with froyo.

and how do u think u will update the radio alone. is it with PC49IMG.ZIP process.

i dont know whether updating radio alone (excluding boot.img + recovery.img) gives any issue to ur phone. can someone clarify that
[Wildfire General] Eddster3000:
Try using cwm fakeflash by "instalupdate.zip" this will revert back to old cwm on a temporary basis so you can flash roms and radio that are not written in new script language. Be careful flashing new radio as can damage your phone if you get it wrong
[Wildfire General] mlotson:
WarningHPB the radio ver is; Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10

Eddster3000, i've tried to downgrade the cmw via RomMenager, it looks like i am getting temporarly the older cwm, but there is one major problem.. it doesnt see files on my sd card, only in cwm 3.0.0.6 it is working fine but cant flash radio but in 2.5.0.7 works only temporarly cwm but without seein the files on my sdcard ;f

is there a way to use adb to flash the radio? if yes then how to do it? i think this would be the simpliest way ;)
[Wildfire General] DeletedUser99284:
If you used AlphaRev, it would give you fastboot support (I think) so it would probably let you flash radio through USB connection.

What is your SD capacity? If you can, try on another one that is 2GB or less.
[Wildfire General] mlotson:
my sd card is 2gb, what do you mean by alpharev?

i am on w7 x64 i flash cmw via adb so i thought flashing radio wont be a problem will it?

[Wildfire General] mlotson:
first of all i have s-off because i've used xtc clip. second of all that guide is reffering to clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 probably because the 3.0.0.6 doesnt support some scriptting which is why i cant flash my radio, however i need to downgrade my cwm do 2.xx to be able to flash radio and flash ruu.zip file. just tell me how to permanently downgrade cwm to 2.xx and i'll be fine.. i promise ;p

now it seems like normally i have cwm 3.0.0.6 but when i run rommenager it says it's 2.xxx the problem is that there is some sort of incompatibility between these two, one sees the files on my sdcard and the older one doesnt.

what cwm are u using right now? and where can i download it?

@ up date, the whole situation is probably because od 3.0.0.6 cwm, it did something to my sd card so cwm 2.x.x.x.x doesnt read it properly.. question is how can i fix it? now i have cwm 2.5.0.7 and it shows only clockworkmod/ folder on my sd while i have many many other files.. but when i change it to cwm 3.0.0.6 it reads all the files and every thing is all right but i cant install old roms because of scripting method which is not supported by cwm 3 < i guess removing the whole recovery wont do the problem because that is not the first time i flashed recovery and under 3.0 i cant read my sd in recovery.. please help!it pain in the as$.. -,O
[Wildfire General] Eddster3000:
I'm not sure how to permanently downgrade CWM but I'll see what I can found out. I think CWM will always show 2.xxx in Rom-Manager which is the fakeflash version, even if you have upgraded CWM to 3.xxx

I'm on new CWM 3 and it's same as you describe in RM but only differance is that I can temp' downgrade CWM and flash all old scripts.

Do you think it's to do with XTC clip process? I'm not a programmer so I'm afraid I can only help with suggestions
[Wildfire General] mlotson:
now i am sure that it has something to do with ext, ive partitioned the sd card in cwm 3.0.0.6 to do so i had to formatted sd, then i flashed cwm 2.5.0.7 and went into cwm, now it doesnt show anything on my sd card it keeps sayin "no files found." ... ;F how to fix it .. ;o it's annoying
[Wildfire General] Eddster3000:
Surely if u have formatted the sd card them no matter which cwm you use will not find any files? Or did you format then copy the radio image to the root of the sd card? Have you tried a standard format of sd card using pc or laptop with a card reader? then copy files to sd card via pc before putting back into the phone.
[Wildfire General] mlotson:
i have formatted with pc, the sdcard was in the phone (i dont have card reader), it didnt fix it. so i formatted it again in cwm but again it didnt help, next i partitioned sd in rom menager but it also didnt work. now i am on cmw 3.0.0.6 because thats the only one which reads properly files from my sdcard.. i think ill try different sdcard but i dont have one for now ;p i guess til then i wont know for sure what's the reason

It's normal to become so big? also another thing...my ext2 /cache partition is not getting used at all! only 28kb of 34mb used :-(

You cant use cache partition for dalvik cache. I suggest you clearing your dalvik cache. Delete it with root explorer and reboot.

It occupies 67MB after being regenerated :-( i suppose there's no other workaround other than move apps to /system and don't bloat the phone with apps!

Friend tagging is nice and I'm glad they added it, but they seem to be adding so much crap that people don't really use like friend finder, adding your cell #, etc. while ignoring the most requested (and most useful) features like photo tagging and keeping everything in the app instead of bumping to the browser.

http://www.stmbags.com/catalog/laptop-shoulder-bags/scout-extra-small-laptop-bag/

Overall I am very pleased with this bag for carrying around my Xoom, the Xoom Bluetooth keyboard, and other accessories. The main pouch fits my Xoom (with the Motorola portfolio) and the keyboard nicely. The outer pouch is a little slimmer and is a better fit for just the keyboard (although I can fit both the Xoom and the keyboard together in even the outer pouch). The outer pouch just fits 8.5" x 11" papers, but not a larger folder (see picture below). The strap is solid with nice padding; overall the whole thing is very well made. I think my only complaint is that when the bag is clasped shut the main "flap" kind of sticks out a bit (see attached picture), i.e. it doesn't quite lay flat against the bag. But I think over time it will probably "break in" a bit and will lay a little more flush when closed.
