Apparently they got hip to the tethering several apps were removed from Android market. One they really didn't like was Pdanet it is no longer on market. Does it really work that well? You can still get on the freeware site. They are too late, once it's out there its out there. Hard to put the genie back in the bottle.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Yeah, I am not sure why they are getting anal about this stuff. How can they tell the difference where the data originates?

Plus, they can't do anything to people using the Verizon 4G LTE spectrum. The FCC clearly laid out, when they sold the spectrum, that they couldn't limit what people do with their handsets, even with data usage. So they can whine and complain all they want, FCC supersedes VZW TOS.

Apparently 3G is still fair game for them to limit, but I don't care. I don't think they should have the right to tell me what I do with the data that I pay for to be sent to and from my handset, no matter what their TOS says. Data is data, bits are bits, no matter where they go and what they are used for.
[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
About the only company offering true unlimited data thus far is Sprint, but I did read that they will eventually be adding a tiered plan for tablets.

It won't surprise me if in the near future that each provider follows suit like Apple & offers their own Market, in fact I'm surprised they haven't capitalized on it already.
[G Tablet General] schettj:
You're buying data service for the handset. When carriers sell wifi hotspots plus service, it is in their financial interest to make sure that unauthorized hotspots are shut down.

There isn't anything illegal about them disallowing unauthorized hotspots.

The free ride ended for jailbroken iPhones, this was just the next logical step. Since Google/Android needs to have carrier buy in, if the carriers ask to shut down apps that violate the TOS, you can bet they'll be shut down.

Even if you side load an app, since all the apps just do NAT it's a trivial packet header inspection to detect use. That's what AT&T is doing - they notify people when they detect tethering/hotspot use.

Bottom line - if you use it, you'll need to buy the add on.
[G Tablet General] hitekredneck:
I have heard that you can put your handset in airplane mode, turn on wifi, then load up the market and still download any tethering app you want, pdanet included.

[EDIT] I am att and just tried this with my inspire. On 3g the pdanet app would not show up, so I turned on airplane mode and wifi and connected to market and voila, pdanet did show back up!

So this method is confirmed as a working solution to the carrier blocked tethering apps dilemma. ;-)

Let me know if that works out for ya.

[G Tablet General] EL TEJANO:
Wait so then that means pdanet was not pulled from the Market, particular carriers just block it then? Interesting...
[G Tablet General] hitekredneck:
Yes, this has been known for quite some time. There is a config line, I think it is in the build.prop file, that identifies your device when connecting to the market. This line makes it possible for the goog market to make certain apps available or not available via carrier request. There are ways of getting around this though which can be found with the search feature here. There are also a few apps that will fake your devices id on the android market so you can get around the blocking of certain apps.

Rename it to rootboot.img and overwrite the one in C:\nexusroot

Try

fastboot flash boot rootboot.img

again.

[Nexus S General] redlilcivic:
im having the same problem with mine.....but where i messed up is that i didnt back anything up after unlocking and now i pretty much have a blank sd card/internal memory.....i have tried lots of methods trying to push a recovery into the phone but nothing has worked

im glad this worked for you :) :(
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
If you can get into CWM, you only need two more steps now

1) mount /system

2) install zip from sd -> su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip

Reboot and you are rooted.

You need to describe the steps you have taken, and describe the problem with more detail.
[Nexus S General] vbobmac:
i did a update yesterday, and now i think i dont have the right system recovery.

now when clicking system recovery, i get a "!" whit the android character...
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
Please, I have exactly the same problem. When I boot the phone i always get into clockworldmod recovery v3.0.2.5

How Can I do To unmake this?

Please, somebody can help?
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
So instead of booting into the rom you boot into clockwork recovery?
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
Yes I follow the root technique of "hxxp://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/", and, like "vbobmac", my phone stock at google page.

After that, i try the "rootboot.img" who give "Si_NZ" to "vbobmac".

And, like him, after that when i boot, i can only boot into clockwork recovery, and i can't go into "bootloader" mode.

Can I make my rom at stock into clockwork recovery?

I hope, it's possible to unmake this mistake?

In the post "[ROM] Stock - 2.3.4 - GRJ22 - Deodexed w/radio for NS/NS4G", do i have to take a rom rooted or not? Because my phone is unlock, but not totally rooted i think.

Sorry for all those questions, but i'm a little lost. And i'm affraid to make an error who will kill my Nexus S.

Thank you a lot for your help, i wait your answer before doing anything.

Thank you again.

It's great to see people, who are ready to help directly.

Edit: Now I can boot in "bootloader" mode, but i try with ODIN to put back at stock my phone, but the computer (Windows 7) dont recognise the phSamsungone.

Even when I install PC Studio 3.

Do you now an other way to make my phone work? Root or at stock, doesn't matter. Just if he can live, it's good to me.
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
Can you access the sdcard to flash a rom? You can do that by going to clockwork recovery, then mounts and storage, then select mount USB storage, then on your PC go to my computer and press refresh until you see the phone storage appear, keep pressing refresh for atleast 5 minutes because sometimes it takes a while. Then download any rom rooted or unrooted and flash in clockwork recovery.

If you can't do that and you can use fastboot, I'll send you a system.img and boot.img to flash.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
Yes, i can mount my phone, but when i try to install the default rom, but it's not working. I have an error.

At least the manipulation is working, i can mount on my computer the nexus.

Do you have a rom 2.3.4 for Nexus i9023 please? Maybe i don't flash with a good rom?

Thanks again for your help.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
I try again, to flash with the original 2.3.4, but the operation abort everytime.

Do i have an other choice for flashing my phone?

Mount the sdcard is working, copy files work too, and i can run the update.

But, the operation abort with a "statut 7".
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
You have try and use a new recovery. Download this recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=988686 and flash it in the bootloader and try flashing a rom again.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
I flash, like the first time, from Windows "cmd"?

Sorry for all those questions, but i don't want to make something who can kill my phone.

And I think, i don't have the good bootloader.

My phone is a Nexus S i9023, but since i try to root my phone, my bootloader version is the "i9020XXKA3".

You think, i have to change the bootloader first?

For flashing bootloader and clocwork recovery, i have to do it from Windows?

Waiting for your answer.

Thank's a lot
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
Yes, from cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img" , replace "recoveryname.img" with what it's named. Good luck.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
I flash the recovery, and now i have the v4.0.0.2, but i still can't flash a rom.

I still have the same message:

"assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop". "ro.build.fingerprint") == "google/soju/crespo:2.3.2/GRH78C/93600:user/release-keys" ||

E: Error in /sdcard/update 2.3.3.zip

(Statut 7)

Installation aborted.

Don't you think it's because my bootloader is not the good one?

Can flash it too, from Windows?
[Nexus S General] reddv1:
No, I think your bootloader is fine because you can flash the recovery from there. Try another rom and before you apply the update there is an option to toggle assert verification, make sure it is off. PM for a faster response cause I don't check the forum all the time.
[Nexus S General] N@th_OC:
Yes!! it's done, thanks for your help, i made what you say, and i change the rom, everything is working fine, and the phone is rooted!!

Thanks again for all!

There is a lot of hate directed at that device from corporate users. I don't think id blow an upgrade ob one. You can get them reasonably cheap on ebay since people like to dump them. The new one they have coming out with the 7.0 OS might make it worth it.

I run a corporate BES infrastructure and I have dozens of those out there and almost all users that get one ask to be switched to iphones.

Sounds like the Pearl Flip. I had a Flip and it was the worst phone ever created. I actually believed RIM put out the Flip to measure how much hate they could withstand.

For me, all it takes is the slightest negative to turn down a BB device. And you just provided it...lol. That Flip was so bad I swore never to even look at BBs again. But that was a long time ago and figured maybe things might be different now. Apparently not.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right place to post this.

First time owning an Android device. I recently switched form a Blackberry and went with T-Mobile and a new G2X.

I check my data usage online and something is not right. Within the last 7 days I used almost 700MB! I NEVER went past 200MB on my Blackberry a month. This included ALOT of Pandora, web and emails.

With the G2X I rarely surf the web, usually on WIIFI. I have 3 business emails and 2 personal ones. I recieve about 100+ emails a day, all about 12k.

When I check my activity on t-mobile, I notice ALOT of 10mb, 15mb, 20mb or sometimes 50mb activites :confused:

The only apps I have running are TeleNav ResourcePreLoader and SyncManager, plus the Android required services. I have everything disabled, GPS, SYNC, etc.

My question is, what cause these huge MB usages every hour or so?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Evofusion:
Thats weird can you post a screen shot of your usage as displayed on your my.t-mobile.com website? There was another guy about 1 or 2 weeks ago with a similar problem. I can try to find the thread when I get on a computer

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dlirious:
Blackberrys compress the content by about 60% or so. That is the reason your data usage was date less than using an Android device. I have both blackberry and G2x and with heavy usage on blackberry I use around 200mb/mth. Hope there helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] down8:
I don't know what that TeleNav item is, but it sounds like something that could chew thru data.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaronb532:
There's a few apps in the market that will monitor and report how much each app on your phone is using. I suggest trying one of those for a few days to find the culprit.

The one I've used in the past is called 'TrafficInfo', but it looks like 'Traffic Monitor Widget' is getting better reviews. Both are free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
When on wifi do you still see your 4g symbol?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rukawa2k:
something I found after couple tries for the data usage issue.

1. The T-Mobile website time stamps are posted in Pacific Time.

2. The application such as Tune-in Radio and other steam apps will eat your data like crazy.

3. Speed Test will eat up the usage too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
OK, even though I didn't set the Google Server backup function when I did factory reset, it was still enabled under "Privacy -> Back up my data". I turned it off and we will see what happens. Are you guys disabling this functionality?

I will give that a try if my solution won't work.

It is the navigation program the g2x comes with. I actually like using it so I don't want to freeze it. Should I be using something besides TeleNav?

Nope. I froze my T-Mobile app because of that issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
So I'm still having the issue. I installed the network monitor and it looks like android.uid.system:1000 I SENDING about 2 MB per 5 minutes....

Since android.uid.system:1000 consists of many programs like Network Location, Google Backup Transport, settings, etc. Any ideas which one is causing this? I'm pretty sure everything is disabled except for WIFI and Background data Sync... would this be it? I kinda need this to be running to get my MS Exchange email and Android Market.

How can I be the only one having this issue. Weird.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maciek82:
OK, been messing with this for couple hours now. Been disabling things left and right. This is what I found. If the phone is NOT plugged into the USB the data usage is very minimal. I was at a meeting for about 30 minutes and used about 100k. As soon as I got to my desk and plugged in my phone the usage went up to 2.5mb in about 2 minutes.... WTF? Anyone know why?

under the following "App name":

I don't know which one of these it was but I suspect it was the Google Backup service.

I have frozen the MyAccount app and the TeleNav app, so it wasn't either of them.

So here's the deal with that.

It's a thing CM7'ers are stuck with.

If you change to 160 dpi, it will fix it. Assuming you're running the latest market and maps, 160 should be okay.

A solution most of us have done is install Recent Apps Plus and starting from step 1, replaced the default recent apps. I like it more with the volume control and all :)

To change to 160 if you want, go to system/build.prop w/root explorer or the like and change the line that is about halfway down from 161 to 160, and that will fix it.

You could also try turning off compatibility mode in settings >applications >development, but I've had limited success with that and the recent apps popup.
