[Optimus One, P500, V General] thewillb:
cool, but I just hope it's not like the iphone in that they require a data plan to even pop you sim card in it.

1st review on amazon seems to confirm my fear... "Be aware AT&T will make you buy a data plan for $5 per month for 10 MB, even if you never use it because it's a smart phone. "
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kopchev:
I read that LG Thrive goes with a prepaid plan, so you buy the phone and don't use the new sim...and you can insert your wife's sim.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wally509:
I vaguely recall reading about this new "feature". Happened around the time the new iThing came out. Reading around a little, it seems that more recent contracts have clauses that let them do this.

Some posts mentioned that BEFORE you use the smartphone, to call ATT and place a data-block on the account. Seems to have worked for some.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] secretasianman:
So has anyone successfully purchased a LG Thrive, popped an AT&T post-paid SIM in and use it without a data plan?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Turducken:
You may want to consider buying an Optimus T, unlocking it and using it with ATT. Both are GSM. You'll then have access to all the dev here and not be bound to ATTs draconian crap.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] eortizr:
it can be used without a dataplan if you use your own sim card. I bought one for my daughter and since I was at the end of my billing cycle I decide to wait until the new billing cycle to add the data plan, she was using the phone without problems for over a week, and was able to use wife for data. One thing is that when you call ATT to add the Data Plan you need to give a different IMIE cuz once they try to add the IMEI of the GO phone the system will say the phone can not provisioned with premium Data plans. What I did was just to gave her my Captivate IMEI since it was never registered with ATT.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_rowe:
Right now I am using the latest version of trigger, I don't have a tone for my dialer on key presses, I have a .ogg file in my /system/media/Audio/ui that is labeled as dialer tone or something like that. How do I make that tone and the dialer work together?

Edit: Ok, maybe I should be more specific, I checked the box in settings/sounds that allowed me to receive a tone, I just want to be able to change it, and maybe a couple of other tones on my phone.

Thanks in advance :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
There are many programs on the internet that will change mp3 or a sound bit to .ogg. Then rename it to dial.ogg or what ever you want to replace. Then just use root explore to puse it onto your phone
[Nook Color General] tfotos:
Hello all. I just bought my NC a few days ago and it is running 1.1.0. Do I want to update it if I want to throw Honeycomb or Gingerbread on it and overclock? Basically, does 1.2 cripple the NC when it comes to doing the things I want to do to it?
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
No. You can try out 1.2 safe in the knowledge that you can wipe the machine and apply any rom you want afterwards.
[Nook Color General] robedney:
You also might want to consider keeping it stock at 1.2 and running something else from a SD card -- easy to do. Once you've found a rom you like (CM7 stable is really very good) you can flash it internally if you like.

I run CM7 from my SD card because I bought the extended warranty on the Nook and I wanted to keep it stock. You don't even need to root it.

By the way, 1.2 is an upgrade, but it's certainly not stunning. CM7 is far more advanced and stable.

There's an excellent thread for setting up and SD card -- search under "Size-agnostic" to find it.
[Nook Color General] joetrizeo:
try out stock 1.2 first. it's much better over 1.1, but u will still want to root it. u might stick with 1.1 because 1.2 root still has some minor issues. fwiw read thru the MN thread.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] case-sensitive:
As seen on slashdot:

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/05/04/0428224/Marlinspikes-Droid-Firewall-Kills-Tracking

Anyone cares to comment on the need/practicality of such an app? Is it really necessary? What about performance/battery hit?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] daemonfly:
Quite useful, imho. Lets you control what has access to whatever network access you're connected to. Many apps want network access when there's no real reason for them to have it.

But... it's not really new. DroidWall has been around for a while now, it's just a bit more manual to setup (app whitelist).
[Xperia Arc General] ChefChaudart:
Hello,

I noticed a few times that the phone was ON while in its case :eek:

Too bad for the battery ;)

Is it possible to use proximity sensor to prevent that ?

Cheers
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
you can disable the home key from waking the phone up.. you need root and root explorer..

[Xperia Arc General] ChefChaudart:
Cool,

I am root, and I have Root Explorer, but how do I achieve that ?

:confused:

Cheers
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
ok..you need to use root explorer.

find the pm8058-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout folder

open the file in edit mode and delete the wake_dropped comment on the home key line.

save, reboot, done.

[Xperia Arc General] Rycon33:
Guys I'd like to ask also aside from waking thru power button, is it possible to wake the phone thru volume button also?

Sent from my Arc thru XDA App
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
nope, the phone wakes up with home and power buttons only.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
you could use the method I described above to add WAKE_DROPPED to the volume keys if you want it to?
[Xperia Arc General] Rycon33:
Thanks for the suggestion but placing wake dropped on volume keys didn't work for me, I guess I'll just stick with power button then.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaquiel Harris:
Hey guys. I'm having the most annoying issue with my vision. I could be typing a message and the phone will COMPLETELY AND FULLY SHUTDOWN. Down to the Black screen in an instant, then I have to press the power button and turn it back on. I'm running CM7, anyone know why this is happening? Is it rom related?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Typing on the hardware keyboard? I remember a similar issue some people had on the Touch Pro 2, where opening/closing the keyboard would shutdown the phone, due to a loose or damaged ribbon cable between the screen and the keyboard.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
What Radio & ROM are you using?
[Captivate General] Jeff Kirvin:
I've seen this bug on various versions of Mikey's GR ROM, Cezar's Continuum 5 and Team Phoenix's Mosaic. Here's what happens.

I'll be driving with media playback over the headphones (just one ear, perfectly legal). Doesn't seem to matter what, but the media in question is on the SD card. I know it's happened with local music in Amazon MP3 and with podcasts in BeyondPod.

While the media is playing, I have Google Navigation running on my Captivate in a dashboard mount. It's also plugged into external power. Google Nav has voice prompts installed, but muted so they don't talk over the media playback.

All of the above worked just fine with every Froyo build I used, as well as CM7 and MIUI.

With JVB ROMs, the navigation works fine for a while, maybe 5-10 minutes. But at some point, the navigation completely freezes, with the map no longer moving, the ETA no longer updating, and even the system time in the status bar frozen. Media no longer responds to headphone or on-screen controls, but continues to play for a while longer. Eventually (maybe 20-25 minutes into the trip), it starts to skip and stutter, and then a minute or two later the phone reboots.

I haven't done any development in years, and haven't even looked at the JVB source, but this seems like some kind of memory overrun. Like I said, I can reproduce this on just about any JVB ROM.
[Captivate General] elfie:
Works perfectly for me, I don't use headphones but use an aux cable to connect it to my car stereo, so I think it is the same thing. Used it for over an hour yesterday.
[Captivate General] Jeff Kirvin:
What modem are you using? The JK4 that comes with the ROMs?

[Captivate General] studacris:
How exactly is this development?
[Captivate General] Jeff Kirvin:
Bug troubleshooting and fixing. If this is reproducible across multiple ROMs/modems, we're going to need a fix. That fix has to come from a developer. I used to be a professional developer myself, and was a well-known WM chef back in the day, so I'm not some n00b off the street. I would appreciate the courtesy of being able to raise a potential issue and discuss it.

Smart developers welcome outside voices and opinions. Insular communities foster group think.
[Captivate General] Mr. Clown:
Thread moved to general.
[Captivate General] Jeff Kirvin:
Well, so much for that idea. *looks up how to flash CM7 with the new bootloaders*
[Captivate General] jswclw:
I have experienced this same behavoir multiple time since moving to the JVB based GR-12 ROM. Most often the phone is in the Car Dock, however it has also happened once using the headphone jack (not docked).

I had not considered that this might be common to all JVB based ROMs. If that is the case, maybe it has been addressed in JVH. I hope so...I use audio and nav together constantly.
[Captivate General] jswclw:
Moved to Mosaic III this morning. Same conflict between music and GPS.
[Captivate General] CaveSlug:
I also had this problem using my tracks on my walk yesterday morning. It would lock and begin tracking, but would freeze up on me and lose the GPS fix with the music player running. I am running GR-12 with KC1 modem.

[Epic 4G General] oldpreowner:
I am a noob so I am learning. I rooted my epic yesterday and was wondering can you overclock on the stock eco5 rom (or any stock rom) if you are rooted. I used the ClockworkMod method described in qbkingg77 video. So my files are converted over to ext4. Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
You need to follow his other video on how to flash a kernel and overclock it :p as you can't overclock the stock kernel
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
SetCPU it goes up to 1200 I believe.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Ok, you cannot be on stock ROM because it does not support EXT4 file system. So either you Odin'd in a prerooted modded stock ROM or you haven't booted into Clockwork yet to convert to EXT4 and thus sponging your phone. You also cannot overclock the stock kernel. So if you are on CWM 3.0.0.6 and haven't gone into Clockwork recovery yet, download an EXT4 compatible ROM with overclock capabilitied, put it on your sd card and flash it after the EXT4 conversion but before rebooting.

Do you BONSAI?
[Epic 4G General] oldpreowner:
Light bulb turned on! I was not accurate in what was saying. I am currently running the syndicate rom. I was thinking about odin back to stock, rooting then overclocking before I flash another rom. From reading your post when I root then that is not a stock rom because you have changed the files to ext4, correct?
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
If you followed his video to root with CWM3 and run SRF then you converted to EXT4 when you ran CWM3. If you odin back to stock and root you can not overclock the stock kernel. Depending on what root method you use, would depend on what file system you are on. If you convert to EXT4 you need to have an EXT4 compatible ROM on your SD card to flash or your phone will not work :p
[Epic 4G General] oldpreowner:
I get what you are saying, thanks.
[Epic 4G General] ZiggSVO:
NP keep us updated :p

GL
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
However you can root with CWM 2.5.5 and keep RFS and just change your kernel to Genocide or another with overclocking after you return to stock.

Do you BONSAI?

I stumbled on this review while looking for info on new ROM's. It paints a decent picture of my ugly but hardy tablet.

The article's author is Chris Matier. The OP is 'matguard'. Coincidence? Perhaps. Still, good article.
[G Tablet General] D Wright:
Hmmmm, who is this really?

Anyways, very good review. It kind of explains why I still kept and use it after going out and buying an Ipad 2, and I am still running it stock.

The Ipad was necessary for the very good business apps I needed and really like and use. But other than being an owner of Ipods I have never been a user of Apple. Right off the bat, the closed society and structure grates me more than I thought it would. I could never go with their desktops or laptops.

By the way, I had used two credit cards on the Itunes store and both had the numbers lifted with attempted big purchases from the thief. Now only use Itunes gift cards but WTF? So much for Apple's security. They just go into denial mode when anyone complains or points out defects.
[G Tablet General] luvduchovny:
This review pretty much states my reasons for having the tab and loving it also. I jumped on it during a woot sale. Tried to go unrooted for a bit, but the rooting was easy, the roms are fun. I enjoy my tablet greatly.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davedontmind:
The MyLibrary application is great for reading ebooks, but lacks help and options...

I've just received my SD card and decided to move all my media to it, including books.

I removed the folder I was using for books on the main storage, and created a new folder, eBooks, containing a selection of epub files, on the SD card.

However, when I start MyLibrary, I still see the list of books it had before on the main storage, and none from the SD card. If I try to open one it crashes back to the home screen (no big surprise, since the book I tried to open doesn't exist any more).

How can I clean up this mess, remove the old books from the list, and add the books from the SD card?

And while I'm on the subject of MyLibrary, the label "Uncategorized" on the left hand side implies that there can be some sort of categorization of the books. Is that possible somehow?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PublicJohnDoe:
Yup.

Just click on the "Edit" button (top right), and you will se a "+" sign appears on the "category" side - using that, you will be able to add categories (like magazines, comics, novels, whatever) and drag books into them.
