yes mr. carpenter i understand your post and i do understand the cons of wimax inside buildings, hence why i said it works for me as im in a dense 4G area, so the two main places i frequent has 4G abundantly. it surely does fall off rather quickly inside structures however the results ive had are just superb, especially when its unlimited. sprints coming out with a 10gb plan this sunday and releasing new bundled plans so i should be able to get 10gb of 3G for 70 bux.
[Xoom General] brijahn:
I've been using the Sprint Overdrive since last summer. Although I wouldn't recommend this particular device the 4G service itself is excellent. The Overdrive is plagued with well documented problems. When it actually connects and stays connected the service is fast and solid, as with the 4G service on my Epic. As for using WiMax 4G inside, I've found it needs to be positioned for optimal signal, I set mine on top of the refrigerator. I may eventually switch to the new MiFi unit, but I'm waiting to see how the reviewers feel about it first.

I would personally thank iPhone users for abusing the snot out of AT&T's unlimited data plans for all of this.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
At&t will also be placing caps on DSL and uverse customers starting next month. 150gb for dsl users, 250 for uverse. 10.00 for every 50 gb over.
[Xoom General] marctronixx:
curious, are you thinking of the overdrive PRO or the novatel mifi unit? im working with the novatel unit but am interested in seeing if the overdrive pro is a better unit. i know the battery life seems longer (due to more real estate inside the larger box, however im told the wimax antennas are not shielded from the internal RF from the components... )
[Xoom General] brijahn:
I am refering to the new novatel mifi. I will not buy another sierra wireless hotspot unless they makes some major changes to the design.

My mss picture viewing is really blurry. Is there a way I can enhance the picture view in MSS?
[XPERIA X10 General] darksherko:
It might be your operator ask them about mms
[XPERIA X10 General] Lord Takyon:
A bit more info will be of great help.

FW version, service provider, mms app will all be helpful.

MMS viewing

I am using Xperia X10i, Droid 2.1.. Using with Tmobile-USA. I am not using any MSS app or anything. Straight thru the Messesing. I can send & Received, but when I try to view the images, it's so blury..

Thank you,
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
It's a TMO USA issue. They don't recognize the phone as it isn't listed in their database and the image defaults to 120x160.

I've tried to 'fix' the default mms app by decompiling it and recompiling after changing some settings but haven't had any luck. I've found that GO SMS Pro (free from the market and can replace the default messaging app) will allow 640x480 images. I've also tried the default 2.1 Cyanogenmod mms apk and was able to receive something like 2048x1536 sized images but the app looks pretty ugly as none of the contact pictures show up.

So my messages app force closed on me and refused to open again so I restarted. Then when im booted up all my message history is gone, wtf.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
How much text messages did you have saved? it's a good idea to back them up and delete them so it doesn't crash.

rooted, stock rom and kernal, although i have tried other roms but restored after liking the stock feel so much
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speoples20:
This happened to my wifes mytouch the other day. She is stock unrooted. Had to reset her messaging app and delete all her text. Seems to work now but it was weird.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyune:
i don't think it was an overflow of messages

I had about 3000 messages stored, maybe more before i finally deleted them all

I'm guessing perhaps you had too many apps open without actually closing them, and maybe GPS enabled? Then it ran out of memory to use for programs and crashes or something I don't know

But unless you had more messages stored than me, it wouldn't be that

I now enable "replace old messages" at 200 so I don't have an overflow problem anymore

Do you ever restart your mt4g? I reset mine about once a week just incase there's any memory leaks or something
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgp87:
That happened to me a few times on one of my mytouches while using iced glacier. It would FC everytime I opened up the message app. What I did to read the messages was download SMS go app from the market and I was able to read and save some SMS before cleaning up the stock SMS app and then it worked fine.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
In messaging settings is it set to auto delete?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyfu:
It never did till one day i enabled auto delete in the settings, and bam, few hours later all my text were gone, not that I care, but it does happen.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XfooYen:
It's a known bug with stock rom. I read about it on the tmo website because the same thing happened to my wife's phone. The cause seems to be random and there is no known fix. It was first reported months ago. It has nothing to do with auto delete or having too many message threads.

and on the phone they said they know it happens, and it's a known issue with the stock software on the stock rom.

basically, youre told by cs to get backup sms app. well, it's too late. no credit.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumi2k4:
happened to me yesterday, too...

too bad i don't have any auto-backup program running.

Oh well, just gotta restore sms from few months ago then...and a good opportunity to try my hand on new roms :D:D

still kinda pissed, though :mad:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleepyfu:
I don't understand want big deal is for keeping sms. If you have certain text is that important, why not just forward to your email on the spot.

[via XDA premium]
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
sleepy-- just cause you may not want to keep texts, doesnt mean others are the same. and this is my wife's stock glacier- she never thought that a 500$ phone would need a "backup set" a mere few months into use. I guess she uses it as a diary of sorts. when did something happen. what was that exchange i had with xyz 4 months ago. etc.

Anyway, looks like a known bug in stock. I'm on royalginger 1.6 on mine and with ext4, hasnt happened and probably wont. another benefit of rooting.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilchip85:
This happened to me on royal ginger 1.6 yesterday when I received a text from my wife. I only had 8 text in total. It force closed when I tried opening and wouldn't open back up until restart and it erased it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
one of my favorite things about the optimus 2x had been the text gesture control.

does anyone know if it is possible to get this to work on our g2x with the swype keyboard? or would i need to use the LG keyboard to make it work.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Good thread I'd like to have these myself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Versetyle:
Me too!! I believe it was in the LG software overlay. However I hear its coming to CM7 and will also allow U to set up swipe gestures from the lock screen. Anyone else here this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
CM7 already has Lockscreen Gestures for custom unlock swipes and launching applications. This has been out for a while. I usually disable my Lockscreen sliders so you can't see them and ONLY use the gestures. People who try to get in my phone are totally clueless. Plus they are easy to change to whatever.

The video doesn't really use Gestures at all but rather the GSensor. Seemed gimmicky at best. It is a feature that I would probably enable, play with, and forget about the next time I flashed the next Nightly.

I can imagine the battery this thing would eat having the GSensor active all the time waiting for your input. No offense but I'll pass.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] fidju:
I would like to use some sort of controller with my GTab for playing emulators such as: Snes9x EX

What would be the best way to go about doing this? Would a USB controller like this work? Or would any sort of Bluetooth controller work?

A wii mote + classic controller/pro is what youre looking for. Use the wii controller app to connect it via bluetooth.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] marshmallow713:
Has anyone tried using a 360 Controller? I'd prefer that to the battery powered Wii-Mote + Classic controller combo.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Osmannm123123123:
I'd be interested to see if there are any USB controllers that work as well, that would be worth it! The Wii controller suggestion might be plan b for me, but its a good idea.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] shdwknt:
The wiimote option is honestly your best bet.. it works great and it doesnt have to be tethered to the device :)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] djkaos:
I've tried a wired 360 controller. It lights up, but I can't get it to work in any application. One of the ROMS in the dev forum says it has gamepad support, but I couldn't find anyone that has gotten it to work. It's been done on other devices, so I know it's possible. Quite a shame because most of the emulators I've tried on the G-tab have amazing performance... even PS1 and N64. USB keyboards work pretty well, and are an easy-to-use alternative to a Wiimote.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] fidju:
which rom has gamepad support?

What the hell is this? I get a text from Sprint saying I'm eligible for there protection app free of charge with a download link. Since I got a new phone been getting this every few days.

Nothing on Google about it . What is it way for sprint to track you and sites you go to ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Its like lookout, its for backing up and locating a lost or stolen phone

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
So pointless then to use Sprint can keep tabs on you .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scooter1979:
If you don't use Lookout, Plan B, etc., it could be useful. The app was, more or less, announced a couple of months ago, if memory serves. It was said that Sprint would be "rolling out" texts to those with the Total Equipment Protection insurance, but you could DL it & install before Sprint got to texting you, which I did.

I've since put Location Cache Map on my phone, and the mapped locations, although recognized by me, are nowhere near the three or four main locations I spend my time. COULD they use it to "track" you? Meh, probably. DO they? Not so far as I know (which probably doesn't mean all that much).

[General Questions and Answers] ToddBonzalez:
Nexus One 2.3.3 rooting:

I used the Gingerbreak App, which has the added benefit of leaving the bootloader alone and locked. The app Root Checker confirms root access and busy box (which I installed separately), and SuperUser is installed.

I've got 2 issues:

1. Titanium Backup claims I'm not rooted. I don't know if what it checks amounts to searching for an unlocked bootloader or not.

2. ROM Manager, while working fine mostly (I was able to make a nandroid backup i think), does not reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, either by selecting the option, or choosing a .zip file with CyanogenMod 7 (stable). I just get the Android-with-exclamation-triangle screen, and either pull the battery or try to access standard recovery mode via Vol Up + Power (hit or miss). I've tried renaming a recovery flash file to "update.zip" and manually installing it, but the process always aborts (I've tried Recovery Zero and Clockworkmod).

CWM 3.0.0.5 is what ROMM shows, but I should note it did not work downloading the first time. (I got an error that I clicked out of by mistake, and when I tried again to see it, it said it was successful, and I've heard sometimes it takes a few tries).

I've also read something (link omitted since I'm a new user):

If after the "Reboot and Install" step, you immediately get a picture of Android with a big exclamation point, most likely it means the ROM image you downloaded was not cryptographically signed by the developer (which happens if they were in a hurry to release or simply don’t use encryption).

That’s OK – you can fix this by:

-clicking the exclamation point screen, which goes to the ClockworkMod recovery menu or simply rebooting into recovery manually (that’s one of the options in the ROM Manager). Alternatively, you can boot into recovery by holding Power and Home buttons together while powering up your phone

-selecting the option that says "install zip from sdcard"

-toggling the "toggle signature verification" option to turn the verification off (it should say "Signature Check: Disabled")

-giving flashing another try by selecting "choose zip from sdcard" and selecting the right ROM, just like before

However, I can't "click" anything, and I'm unsure of what the first bullet point means. I've tried reinstalling ROMM, but CWM doesn't uninstall (I don't know how to remove it since it arrived via ROMM).

I also tried the Amon RA route, but the bootloader method fails, the ROMM method is pay only (and no guarantee at that), and the terminal method needs a root password (su), which I've not activated and know nothing about, so it can't continue.

Anyone out there know what I can try? FWIW I'm on OS X 10.6.7.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] syrenz:
I've been wondering about this for a little while - is there a point in having my screen protector on since the XT720 has Gorilla glass? The SGP case I bought came with a screen protector so I just put it on. Is there actually any benefit considering Gorilla glass is unscratchable/ virtually indestructible? The screen protector doesn't really annoy me or anything, I'm just curious if the screen is a little brighter/better without it on and if there's actually any point at all for me to have it on or I should just take the screen protector off.

Also, the case came with a little screen cover for the camera shutter, this one I've thought is probably more useful since the camera doesn't have gorilla glass. Or does it and this screen cover is also pointless?
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] Mioze7Ae:
I do use one and I don't think it does any harm. I guess it would depend on whether you think the device warranty covers scratches to the screen (which I haven't looked into but I highly doubt).

A long time ago when I upgraded from a Palm Pilot to a Palm III, I went through a similar doubting phase about screen protectors since the III was advertised to be the latest and greatest in scratch resistant at the time, etc. Unfortunately it scratched within a month after my keys managed to slide between the flip cover and gouge a huge slash in the middle of the screen. Of course that sort of damage wasn't covered by the fine print of the warranty. An ounce of prevention is less annoying than a huge gash in the middle of your screen. At least that's where I am.

I'd be happy to scratch the hell out of someone else's screen to test it, though. I wonder if Best Buy frowns on bringing nails into the store... :)
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] Knoedelkopf:

The GV extension for chrome is rad though, I'm making vacation plans between a few friend and I can be on the website for the rental house and kayak.com and just send texts straight from my browser as I'm reading the info.
