[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
Unfortunately ports like that require the kernels they come with for everything to function. The reason they only function with those kernels is the developers heavily modify the kernel to get those features to work on a Gingerbread ROM. This means that all other kernels will not include what the developer has included to make everything work.

So... Yeah.. You're sorta stuck with what they give you.

Just installed HTC Sense 3.0 Lockscreen and I'm looking to add a custom image. With the previous version of Sense, you added/replaced lockscreen_topedge.png. With 3.0, this file is not present in HtcLockScreen.apk, and when adding it I still get my wallpaper image at the lockscreen. Anyone know what the image needs to be called with Sense 3.0 to get it to display as your lock screen?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: HTC Sense 3.0 HtcLockScreen.apk added to post if anyone wants to dig around
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxp3:
I think I screwed up my registration. Can you only try the registration once to get unlimited 1 year?

What happen was I didn't have the latest firmware so I tried to download the standalone asus webstorage version. Which only gives you 2gig free. Then I just now updated my firmware...things are running better. But when I tried to create my mycloud account, I had given same information as my standalone 2gig limit information. And at the time, asus web storage was already running on my transformer. Of course it just logs me in to that and didn't give me unlimited storage. I have since removed the asus webstorage app. I try to create another account using the mycloud icon on my transformer...creating a brand new account, but it still gives me only 2gig.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
email contact@asuswebstorage.com & give them your model & serial #. They will respond and give you an activation key to get unlimited storage. That's how I got mine
[Galaxy S II General] calin75:
This is confirmed as I am using it right now. Got solid H+ with speeds of 7.5 down and 1.5 up. The only thing that I wonder now is if we should call at&t and provide them with the new IMEI. Hot spot feature works right out of the box as I was able to tethered my ASUS Transformer. This phone is a dream come true. 10 out of 10 folks.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
I am missing some point here. WHY OH WHY do you feel you need to give ATT your IMEI? They do not care about your IMEI first, and second, they see your IMEI since you are on their network I think.

Thanks for the good news!
[Galaxy S II General] calin75:
It does support 850.

[Galaxy S II General] RyanZA:
You don't need to supply them with anything, they don't need your IMEI for anything.

As to tethering, I believe AT&T actually monitors traffic to check if you are using tethering without some kind of special tethering plan, and will send you an SMS to tell you to get one. At least, that's what a USA friend told me.

Luckily no other country is crazy enough to do that...
[Galaxy S II General] FrostByte1906:
Great news! Wonder if that's what the announcement will be tomorrow. May I ask where you ordered from and final price?
[Galaxy S II General] kitsVA:
You don't need to tell them anything. If anything, what you should do is put your SIM in some dumb phone, call them and say you don't need a smartphone plan (if you already are on smartphone plan like me $25 for 2GB data) and want $15 unlimited data plan.

They will ask for IMEI of you dumb phone and model and change your plan. After you hang up, take out the SIM from the dumb phone and enjoy it in S2 with your new $15 unlimited data plan. They will catch you only and when they get S2 on their network and it could be few months before that happens.

Thanks Man, I order mine right after your post, and will get deliver tomorrow (FEDEX Tracking) cause it was before 4:00 PM in GB at that time
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Catch you? No they want. International sgs2 will never be in there imei database. Once they carry the sgs2 they still will think your using a dumbphone. Just don't tell them.

Also does the sgs2 work with 4g. The op mentioned H+ working speeds.
[Galaxy S II General] meds88:
Great news. my phone should be here tommorw after a Delay from fedex :mad:. I will be useing it on at&t. Yea but i wouldnt tell At&t anything, I would actually lie if they asked. I say it was a old phone not a smartphone.
[Galaxy S II General] calin75:

where did you guys order from? I'm thinking I may jump on one....
[Galaxy S II General] ker0zene:
So.. Once you give them the dumphone IMEI won't they see your SGS2 IMEI doesn't match the dumphone IMEI that you gave them? Just because they don't know it's a smartphone doesn't mean they don't know that your IMEI doesn't match.. right?
[Galaxy S II General] nomisunrider:
They don't care. They won't recognize the IMEI so will think it is another dumbphone.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
Sometimes you get caught anyways even with a phone that was never sold by your carrier. I did with the nexus 1. Some say that was a shot across googles bow and other such things. I did run unlocked phone for many years before that without a problem. My experience though is once the carrier picks up a phone you might be in trouble regardless of it being an unlocked international version. Pretty much a crapshoot then.
[Galaxy S II General] Papi4baby:
The speeds the OP is reporting are what ATT calls 4G. So yes it appears to be so.
[Galaxy S II General] ker0zene:
That's good news. I might have to try this method! I've been extremely reluctant to sign a contract with AT&T due to data caps and poor coverage but an international SGS2 is tempting!
[Galaxy S II General] defnow:
thanks for the confirmation with it working on at&t! :) time to order..
[Galaxy S II General] ker0zene:
Related question.. If I sign a new dumbphone contract with unlimited data and use this plan with an unlocked SGS2, will any of the ports be restricted?
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
the nexus one situation was unique because it was a USA phone sold by google in the USA. an international UK phone has a much higher chance of not being in any IMEI database that ATT gets.
[Galaxy S II General] c19932:
if you do this, will you still get HSPA+ speed with the 15$ dumbphone plan, or just 3g?
[Galaxy S II General] kitsVA:
It's possible. But, I didn't have luck with X10. I used a international X10a for a month or two on dumbphone plan and as soon as X10 was added to AT&T phones, I got their dreaded text message that moved me to 2GB smartphone plan.
[Galaxy S II General] Ayers976:
Just waiting till tomorrow's announcement to pull the trigger. Currently grandfathered in the $30 unlimited iphone 3G plan. Will switching the SIM card into an unlocked SGSII require me to switch plans?

1st post, and thank you for all the information you've shared about the process!
[Galaxy S II General] varunkumars:
Thanks so much OP. I was actually gonna buy this for my AT&T and i posted couple of questions and didn't get any reply yet. Now that you have confirmed i am so happy. But there is a s**t going on in the other threads about the GPS. I hope GPS is working fine. I can afford till 700$. More than that for a phone !!!..., it's worth it though.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
The databases are public record and can be accessed by anyone. I agree with you though, the n1 was an unusual case. Once the carriers pick it up as the X10 fellow just pointed out it gets dicier. I have little doubt that this one is getting picked up by AT&T, dont know that, just my thoughts. Personally, there is nothing to lose. I am going to dumbphone gambit myself and if they pick it up later and move me back to smartphone then it is what it is.

edit... er I was aiming this at Rogers post.
[Galaxy S II General] irisgl:
Guys, what do you mean talking about dumb phone?

First of all I can not see any unlimited data plans at the at&t web site. What I can see is 2Gb/$25, 200Mb/$15 for Tablets and 3Gb/$35 for Hot Spots.

I'd like to connect to 2Gb/$25 for Tablets. I called to at&t support, but the guy told me that they are not allowed to sell any data plans without call minutes for smarphones. So, you have to pay $49 for 450 mins and only after that $25 for 2Gb.

I don't need the minutes, just the data. So, could you clarify what's the trick with the dumbphone?

Right now I can not see a way to get connected even to 2Gb/$25 and you are mentioning something like $15 for unlimited data!
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
2 phones I know had problems after att started selling them. Nexus and the dell streak had problems. Some of the nexus and streak unlocked phones imei mustve got sent to att database.

Ive been using unlocked phones with att since the release of the samsung blackjack. Ive always used the old medianet plan they use to offer until the blackberry bold(All time favorite device). Ive had every highend phone(No iphone) since then since then using the dumbphone plans.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
I think they will hassle you about the data only phones. I think once you add voice+data it will equal out to the data only plans. Dumbphones are anything not considered a smartphone(quick messenger/regular phones). I use a tmobile krzr i got laying around on my att account.

data only plans will be alot more expensive then voice+data but it wouldnt surprise me if they didnt offer data only plans for smartphones
[Galaxy S II General] :
I've tried every way to get unlimited data and have fallen short. The only thing stopping me from switching and ordering a SGS 2.

I think AT&T actually collects the IMEI of ur phone then apply an "approriate" data plan... So no need to tell them ,they will know anyway.

Also the change will be shown in ur AT&T account.

I want a GS2 on AT&T too!
[Galaxy S II General] calin75:

[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Stop thinking so much before you scare others. They(AT&T) will not change anything with any unlocked phone from a different carrier or international phone.
[Galaxy S II General] amtrakcn:
I had an iPhone 3GS before. An unlocked Singapore version if I wasn't wrong. I inserted an AT&T SIM with a dumb phone plan. After a while the plan automatically switched to an iPhone plan.

Atually every time when I check my AT&T account it shows the correct phone I use, unless AT&T doesn't have the model.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Iphones are in another league of there own. Its probalby about 3 phones that are 50/50 iphone,dell streak, and nexus devices. If im not mistaken you have to activate iphone through itunes?

Heres a quick list of phones ive used in the last 2 years on dumbphone plan

3 different verison of the HD2(tmobile, telstra, and htc factory), Tmobile HD7, unlocked Motorola Atrix, Tmobile G2x, Desire HD, tmobile g1 and a couple others. They all worked with no problem. Trust me Ill be using mine on the dumbphone plan with no issues.

Okay, maybe it's iPhone too special.

[Galaxy S II General] jackleung:
You can add Sony X1a (support AT&T 3G) and X1i (international version). Been using the $15 unlimited plan for yrs without issue.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
Outside of the nexus 1 I never ran into any other phones that were not picked up that got me booted to smartphone. My experience both personally and reading here is when AT&T starts selling a version you can often be in trouble. I'm pretty sure the 850/1900 freqs are here for a reason and AT&T is picking up this phone. Don't know it but its how I read the tea leaves. If they do my experience says I'll be facing a real possiblity of saying hello to smartphone again.

Nothing to lose though, its not like they take away your birthday. I'm going to pull my sim out of the n1 and put it into a dumbphone I have for backup and get switched back over to medianet. If they catch me later, whatever, all they will do is boot me back to smartphone. Thats me though, I got busted after smartphone went to cap. Were I on a grandfathered unlimited smartphone plan I would be very hesitant to go the dumbphone route because if you do get kicked back its going to be to the new 2 gig plan.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
How will you get the media net plan back at this point since its long gone?

They took mine away last year for my nexus one, after years with unlocked Nokia phones, the n1 is what got me.
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Yeah the n1, and i and I had a problem with the dell streak and also iphones are in a special place also. I would jsut call them and say your switching to a moto razr type phone, give them the imei of the dumbphone. Have them add the 15 non-smartphone plan and swap out your sim card.
[Galaxy S II General] sabwafare2001:
Guys just call att and give them any imei number thats not a att sold phone except for the n1, streak, x10. Remember the streak wasnt initially unlocked when it was sold retail. It was locked to att. The beta models were unlocked when they first came out.

When you call att with a phone they don't recognize, just shows up in their system unknown. You can even give them a T-Mobile phone. You can even give them an imei just to see if att recognizes it.

Just make sure when they ask you if you have a qwerty keyboard, say NO.

[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
Right but the 15 dollar media net plan is gone no longer in the system so a rep can't add it. Is there a way around this?
[Galaxy S II General] intruda119:
Its not called medianet anymore, its call unlimited data for non smartphone for 15.
[Galaxy S II General] krabman:
I stick the sim in an old dumbphone I keep for emergencies and call them up and tell them to bump me back to dumbphone by whatever name it is now. I keep the sim in the dumbphone till it shows on olam which occured last time in a day. That because I once read they will run a sweep of your phone shortly after you do this to see if it actually is the reported dumbphone. Figured that was conspiricy theory but I can survive a day or two. I have only done this once myself as I only ran into this once before the nexus 1. It was some 5 years or so before the nexi got me kicked to smartphone so I know it used to work fine.

I was in your situation... somewhere along my happy flashing i lost my gps capabilities. I decided on cm7 but still had a broken gps. I flashed that script using cwm and now my gps is perfect, better than any gps from my previous phones. I do suggest downloading gps status after you flash those scripts. It'll download some agps data and hopefully your gps will lock on flawlessly from than on. Good luck.

Thanks guys! Will try using the script.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmiusa02:
For the person that said he flashed the script and it worked flawlessly on CM7, which one did you actually flash? South East or North America...

I was in the same position before with CM7 and GPS acting up....did both of those and nothing changed really...

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
I'm happily running CM7 from SD on my NC, but stock NC had a few things that I miss:

Power-level popups when plugging in or out.

WiFi login help: when connecting, it tests for redirection and offers to forget or pop up the service's login page. This really helps at hotels and on commuter rail.

Magazine subscriptions, but I know that's being worked on.

Anybody got pointers to any of these?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chasmodai:
There are a whole bunch of battery widgets that will give you power level at a glance.

As far as magazines go, it's not as complete as the native BN capability, but Zinio can be made to work. Do a search here for "WORKING Zinio on CM7"

I've got a couple of functional subscriptions working.

It's a workaround, but if you go to Settings | Wireless & Networks | Wi-Fi settings you can select any network in range, forget previous or current networks, or manually add networks that don't advertise. Its not automated, but it's pretty straightforward.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
I do have the battery level in the status bar, but I'll go look for popups, thanks!

I'll have a look! I was hoping to use BN, to reward them for producing a cheap tablet, but they're not making it easy.

It's not that it doesn't see the access point or connect to it. When it connects, it checks and notices that you don't get full access until you log in (room number, good behavior button, whatever) and pops up the access point's login page. Pretty slick, actually.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chasmodai:
That is a pretty slick feature. I'll have to take a look through the market and see if there's anything like that.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FreddyFresh:
Okay so i had my phone rooted for fun and had no original purpose of installing CM7 on it before i read about a thread that displayed that it was a safe method to do according to what was wroten.

The phone (Galaxy S i9000) 2.2.1 Android was however, what i think is "bricked".

The phone starts with a simple picture showing me a phone with a dot-frame going to a triangle (warning sign) and further to a computer screen. Does this mean that the phone is bricked or is this something else?

The phone does not respond to:

Adb (android-sdk) throught CMD (windows 7 32 bit)

Kies

Odin

Droid Explorer

Android Control 1.3

The phone was originally modified with Odin 1.7 and failed after pushing the ROM into the phone. According to what i did, i did everything correct according to what was written in the explenation.

Please answer as quick as possible, otherwise i will try to get out the warranty which i doesn't even have anymore.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spike1985:
This screen means in fact that you are "nearly bricked" but some kind of emergency system is running what should act like the download mode (as I know it from my SGT). I had similar problem and after a bunch of work I found out that it was the USB driver from Samsung. A simple click in the Samsung Kies Software to re-install drivers helped me and I was able to normally flash a new Kernel, Rom, whatever. I guess you have a sync software as well (as well Kies?!), or try uninstalling drivers manually. Might work. May be worth a try.

Edit: Even with broken drivers it seemed that it was working with Kies... sync (with comlications, broke my calendar app after restarting tab after sync), storage mode, everything but no adb and such.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FreddyFresh:
I know tried to:

Re-install Kies completelly

Removed drivers (manually)

Turned of the phone: ripped the battery out

Put it back in

Re-installed Kies (no phone connected)

Kies 2.0 Successfully installed

Re-install drivers throught kies

Checked that the phone was off and repeated step: 3

Put the usb cable in and begged to the god of nerds

Profit? No...

Kies didn't even find any device that it could try to connect to. Neither did any of above written softwares. The pc cant communicate with the phone.

Tried: 3-button-combo: lots of times!!

Adb prints: No device found

Odin: No device

Kies: No device

DroidExplorer: No device

Note that i live in Europe.
