Totally agree, FCC had its final said about it, its not gonna happen period. And this was a gangsta move from at&t they probably knew it wouldn't get aproved yet they still carried their dumb idea just to harm Tmo, imagine how many people or idiots who think this will happen have moved out already or waiting for their contract to end to look for a new phone company because they have no other choice. In the long run at&t is ****ing tmo up making its customers mad about this "merge".

[Networking] androidfeen809:
Reason why? Maybe they wanted to harm tmo like I mentioned before, they may lose 2 or 3 billions (which they'll eventually regain in no time) but tmo will lose many customers for sure (and will last years before they regain those customers who signed with another company for 2 years)...... **** even I though about switching to sprint cuz of this "merge" LOL trust me I was months away from swithcing to sprint. So think about it at&t has pretty much nothing to lose, what 3Billion, big deal, and when iphone 5 arrive their sales will boost.

wow, you clearly have no idea how much $3 billion is. if the deal doesnt happen then im as happy as can be. if it does it sucks! but to just assume att thought it wasnt gonna happen and they were just doing this to have customers leave tmobile is silly. im sure a really crazy expensive ad campaign could have had some effect AND they wouldnt have to come up off 3 bill. oh ya and tmobile will get use of att's towers. all that being said, sadly you or i will never know the true effect of 3 bill. makes me sick!

I know that it degrades you to edge after your 5gb bandwidth allowance. What I meant is that the new data plans I believe comes with only a 2gb bandwidth a month allowance. So I was wondering if the existing customers get their caps downgraded to only 2gb a month?
[Networking] Babydollll:
No I am an existing customer and I still have my 5GB a month. That 2GB cap is only for that "unlimited $79.99 plan" (what a joke that is)

[Networking] :
Confirmation: I went to T-mobile recently and I was going to change my plan to the "Unlimited" because I don't have unlimited minutes, but I didn't because the rep said that I would loose my actual unlimited data and have 2GB instead, which I figured was BS so I stuck with my actual unlimited over the bogus "unlimited" limit :D
[Networking] Babydollll:
I almost fell of of the couch when I saw that commercial with the "unlimited up to 2GB data plan" I use 2GB in about ten days. I would rather have more data and less minutes. I have 1000 (for two lines), we rarely ever break 500 (and Sparky uses it for his Job. I think I used 63 min. last month...:D:D:D

Smh so its not unlimitted its 2GBs, I'm gonna call em up and ask what happens after the 2GBs are used up

[Networking] androidfeen809:
Lol, its a lot of money even for that at&t, I understand but, yu me or at&t aren't the ones to decide if the deal goes through, they can't just monopolize the industry, I think at&t did knew they probably wouldn't be successful in the deal but gave it a try, think about it, why would the government allow monopoly?, what other MAJOR gsm carrier after Tmobile or at&t exist (notice I said MAJOR)??? Think about it makes no sense. What choice will consumers have?

its still unlimited they just throttle you like the five gig cap. I have the plan haven't been throttle yet any rep who tells you otherwise has no idea what they are talking about. I am slightly over the 2 gig cap.

meh... I only average 600-900 mb of data usage/ month on heavy use lol. If I am home I am usually connected to wifi, and usually staying in class for 7 hours and work on weekend for 7-8 hours I do not use my phone much. and I never tether so I guess I am good.

T Mobile AT&T merger /service

I have been with them for 5+ years good service but after my blackberry screen broke I ended up with a G2 for 60. less than insurance to replace it had to change plans and loose unplan after 3 of there reps lied to me so I do not think AT&T could do worse customer service but I do see rates going up less data .

So I am against the merger it would mean less choice for higher price:eek:
[Networking] mystichero06:
im not really for it

im not really for the merger either but lets be honest t-mobile is hurting and its pretty much a duopoly anyways with number 3 sprint so far behind. its up to the gov if the goes through or not but if it doesnt t-mobile would probably just die off anyways because they just wont be able to compete in the near future esp when lte really takes off this year. the government also has to think about that. all and all i dont really care because t-mobile sucks where i live and even when i see people with they hspa+ phones my thunderbolt puts it to shame
[Networking] newdad28:
Has anyone figured out a workaround for the throttling? On a TMO G2 here and have been warned (via text from TMO) about going over the 5MB cap, will be shut off/and or throttled.

All my speedtests have been sick (full 4G coverage here in Austin TX)......if I can figure out a way to hang on to truly unlimited (lol) data, I'll hang out with TMO for awhile. If not, I'm leaving them as fast as I can (probably Verizon while they're still offering real unlimited data).
[Networking] _ice_:
dude 5mb cap? lmfao thats like watching a 7 minute youtube video and you're done for the month.

and no there is no workarounds, just don't tether much.

I don't understand having a cap when you sell phones with bloatware apps like tmobile tv? 2gigs is crazy. I'm doing like 3gigs on my G2 and stopped tethering period.

Very informative article. I really impress.Thanks !!!
[Networking] androidfeen809:
So I had a talk with a tmo rep @ a tmo store, I asked about the mytouch 4G slide and he said it will only happen if att doesn't merge with tmo, and I asked him what are the chances he think of this happening, he replied he is almost sure it will because even tho it may not get approve they will bribe the government. Any one think att would bride the gov in order to have the merge?

[Networking] tronmech:
Semantics... It's how the verb is conjugated: "I Lobby; you bribe..."
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Amusingly enough, the 2GB cap is only for the $80 Everything plan and new plans. If you have service already, the cap stays at 5GB, even if you're not on contract. That's impressive, actually--other companies may have changed it for the no-contract people, but T-Mobile leaves it alone.

My $65 Even More Plus plan still has a 5GB soft cap. :D I used 3.1GB last month, was not throttled at all.

[Streak 5 General] Computerized:
Hello everyone

here is my story with the Dell Streak

in Feb , i received a new UNLOCKED Dell Streak and it was working great with me and i was VERY Happy with it

in beginning of March , the device suddenly doesn't charged for no freaking reason

i tried to plug it to wall , PC , powered-USB hub , 3rd parity charges , it just wornt charge

i called Dell and they replaced it with new one

The old one Firmware was 318 Build 12821

BUT

The new one comes with 340 and baseband end with 31 which is AT&T

also the Portable hotspot and switching 2G to 3G features doesn't appear in the settings at all

also the access points are locked and can't be changed

So the question is , is there anyway to change this freaking firmware and go back to 318 or the new one 345??

Waiting for your response and advice

Thanks in advanced
[Streak 5 General] eowyn:
Yes, you can flash either rom using fastboo, or call Dell and tell them they were suppose to send you an unlocked Streak. Ask for another Streak.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] greg17477:
i dont understand what you mean or how did you test. Can you explain please.

Usually if you are tracing, you need a source IP address and a target IP address. It can be a specific single ip address or an ip network. So how do you test this, do you use a router and connect to it via wifi or do you use data connection? Or are these IPs you provided the targeted ones?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
whys this in the dev section? this should be in the Q&A section
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mstrk242:
This makes no sense. A traceroute is a command that will tell you all the hops it takes to get from point a to point b, and the latency timing between them. That will in no way tell you if you have a virus or not. If you went into a command prompt on windows, for example, and typed tracert www.google.com it would show you the route it took to get there. This route can be different depending on when it's run.

Now, if you're really worried, and you have an ip that's been connecting to you, and you're unsure of it, a good place to start would be running an nslookup or a whois and seeing who it's registered to.

Even then, however, I still have no idea what it is your even asking. Perhaps a little more info? (And like others have said, wrong section.) Perhaps if you even told us what tools you used, and what your were looking for...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rocks357:
Ok I used several (targets) google.com, yahoo.com, IBM.com and so on.

Ok this is not the total list of the trace log only the ip and servers i don't understand or can't explain.

I used both my hd2 as the source and as a pass-thru as a hotspot.

The trace route command tracks the path to the target. As you can see from my data the traffic I'd several address not even listed in the US but in the UK. I am wondering why the phone might doing this as in a worm, virus, ghost program?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mstrk242:
/sigh

Again, this is not what the traceroute command is used for. It's used when you can't hit a certain address, and you want to find out where the signal is getting lost/stopping. Traceroute has nothing to do with viruses, or virus detection. You just don't seem to understand how internet routing works.

Seems like it's time for you to google networking, tcp/ip, ip4, traceroute, etc... start reading about this stuff. In the interest of saving time, however, what you're doing is like me bringing my car in for service worrying that something is wrong with it mechanically because the gps is telling me to turn on the wrong street.

This app popped up on Engadget in September & instantly captured my attention.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/iphone-awareness-app-selectively-filters-outside-noises-into-yo/

What it does is it uses your phone's mic to allow sounds above a certain threshold through to your headphones when you're blasting your music. This would be incredibly helpful for my work, where I sometimes blast my music & don't notice when people are knocking on my cube.

Anyway, the people who developed this app said that they'd release an Android version, but they haven't released any updates since its release. Does anyone know of a similar app in the market? I've searched many times & come away empty.

Anyone interested in developing a similar app? :D

Thanks!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd256:
I am interested on this, and found this thread while searching.

I've just posted a question about the feasibility of this on a Galaxy S audio dev thread.

I also emailed Essency, makers of Awareness, to ask about their Android progress.

If it can be done, and Essency don't do it, I will give it a go.

Audio capabilities on Android have been behind iPhone dramatically until 2.3 where things got better.

I doubt it will be possible to have direct monitoring of the mic working across all phones, but it should be possible to do it in the digital domain, but there may be latency compared to the iPhone version.

Update:

Example of feeding the input buffer to the playback buffer:

Android Awareness!

Hi Guys,

thanks for the interest in Awareness, I just want to confirm an Android version is currently in production.

I apologise for the delay, we originally intended to release an Android version last year but our developers advised at the time that it just wasn't possible to come up with one version that was compatible with all handsets.

There are 2 reasons why there is nothing comparable on the market at the moment, firstly, as easy as the concept sounds, its not that easy to implement on any handset (iOS or Android), there are quite a few technical challenges to overcome that elongate development and seriously challenges its viability from a commercial standpoint. We could have had different 9 apps in the time it took to develop Awareness...

Secondly, we applied for a worldwide patent on Awareness nearly 2 years ago to protect the significant investment and hard work that's gone into making it a reality.

So please be patient a little longer, its been a long haul for all of us but I promise you will not be disappointed with the results.

In the meantime if any of you have any suggestions or tips regarding Android, don't hesitate to get in touch, they'd be much appreciated.

Using a Focus (officially updated yesterday) and hosted exchange 2010. Push works for everything except when I delete an email on my phone. I have to hit the sync button in the mail app for the deleted messages to push out and delete from the exchange server. It's been like that since I got the phone in October.

My office is also using Exchange 2010 SP1 with latest rollup on windows 2008R2 (Note: not hosted exchange). I am the IT for the building so i know the setup.

Also note windows phone uses conversation view. Make sure that the email is not further now the list. Do you get any? Also in the deleted folder, hit the ... make sure it's set to sync, hit settings, sync settings. Make sure download new content is set to as items arrive.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tai4de2:
this is a feature -- deleting from the device does not cause an immediate sync. When new mail arrives or some other event pushes changes from the server to the phone, the sync occurs and deleted messages will disappear from the server.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcraine:
Just tested it on my Samsung Focus. The deleted email does push to the server after a push is generated by a seperate event. I'm not sure I'd call this a feature. I often delete email from the phone only to find them still showing in Outlook on my desktop. I've gotten in the habit of hitting the sync button every time I delete emails on the phone. Not very efficient.

Is this "feature" only on the Samsung Focus or on all Windows phones? Can it be changed via a setting somewhere?
[About XDA developers] e1rokr:
I am open to all and any comments within the xda rules of online behavior.

DEFINITION:

I define the flashers license as either a online certificate or printable document stating that the owner is a capable and mostly successful flasher of multiple phones whether custom or stock roms.

APPLICATION OF CONCEPT:

Basically for the people that flash peoples phones as a side business, meaning that for a person with little or no knowledge of the flashing aspect of phones to feel safe knowing that the person is recognized by the worlds biggest forum as a flasher with respects to legal rules.

THE EXAM:

The exam should be an online timed application to test off hand knowledge (timed to prevent people from just checking the forums for answers).

A visual and worded test could also be done.

PROS:

A licensed flasher should have enough knowledge to actually work on xda. And the license could be part of a resume of sorts (flashers license, poster of frequently used roms apps and ideas, member of xda tv ect) with respects to becoming a senior member or a moderator.

A licensed flasher should be very able to answer bootloader and flash error posts to the people of xda that may have made and error with the flashers license as assurance.

A licensed flasher would have a custom icon next to their xda login name.

the flasher license would be the first of many licenses to come if the idea is approved ie crb (custom rom builder) license, pia (Phone Information and Assistance) license, ab (app builder license) ect. all of which could give recognition to xda and other companies, for example consider i want build paid apps for android the license ensures that this is a premium application from a recognized builder.

A license system would filter the people with basic knowledge and the people with approved knowledge to assist the site users and also a notification of insurance ie whatever they do is not harmful to the phone and is always removable or could be undone.

As one of the largest mobile phone fora the system of licenses would widen the gap in terms of order, due respect and also make things in xda more official within the site itself.

CONS

Somebody or a group of people have to build the testing app(easy).

The test application would have to be upgradeable due to future os, phone and application type releases.

The license should be renewed due to con 2.

MY OPINION

i honestly think the system would be nice to have and also push the site foward, other than pushing the site foward it actually gives some people opportunities... big example consider you want a job ( a real one not side job) within the skills you got at xda... phone repairs... hardware and software mods ect , xda the license would look good considering that no phone lover that works in a phone company doesnt know about xda itl be cool to know the site approved you as a licensed whatever on the resume. Ontop of that if a person wants something done to thier phone they could contact an licensed person on xda to tackle the job( paid obviously).
