[XPERIA X8 General] bbeanss:
hey there

im new to the android phones, rooting and custom rom installation etc.

but after i purchased my xperia x8 on the three network was research into modding/hacking it and came across this forum, after detailed research into all of this i decided it was time to give it a hack

i rooted and installed busyboxx xrecovery and root explorer with great ease and no problems wahtsoever, but when it came to installing a custom rom i chose floyo 0.20 because it seemed (and claimed) to be the most stable rom around, i installed it with great ease, following a tutorial i found on youtube with no misshaps at al, until boot up.....

after going through the setup wizard i wanted to use the internet to set up facebook android market and emails, but was told there was no internet connection (bearing in mind i have unlimited internet on 3 network) so i persoused the wirless and networks setting and set up my mobile network to 3UK with success, i installed/ set up everything i wantedno probs.

but shrotly after this i receiveda text message but when i tried to reply i couldnt send the text, so i browsed the message settings to find that there is no message center number option of any kind, so i cant check to see if that is the causeand none of any of the other settings seemed to be wrong, so i tried looking into it but found nothing on it at all and resorted to installing another rom, i chose Elelinux-x8-003 because that looked like the next best thing and installed with ease, only to find that i have the same issue of not being able to send sms

i have now had to resore my phone to the stock rom because i cant function properly if my phone doesnt function properly

does anyone have any clue as to why this is and/or the reolution to this issue?

cheers

I'm finished with Samsung.
[HTC Inspire 4G] secretasianman:
After my Captivate experience... Samsung needs to PROVE they can:

1) Release hardware that works (i.e. the GPS fiasco that affected me).

2) Update phones in a timely fashion... preferably providing more than 1 OS update.

Until then... I am steering very clear of any Samsung computing product.

[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
lol, ok point taken. Maybe I should just buy a new bumper and hold off on a ff camera and bigger and brighter screen. At&t is just so damm slow with releasing nice android devices. My inspire just feels laggy sometimes, and it isnt the latest and greatest in specs, great device dont get me wrong. I think whats also making me want another device is from the 1st week, i have like two streak smudges on the screen I cant wipe or get rid off. Must be on the glass, I have no idea what it is. Isnt noticeable right, but in bright light or sunlight, you can see it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
usability> specs anyday. The atrix has better specs then the inspire, but moto hasn't made a good phone since the razor. Look how many people jumped ship from the phone. Also it's samsung, the same phone maker that took over a year to realease an update, the inspire has been out for what less then five months and already has an update.

If your phone fills laggy then your not doing something right ;).

[HTC Inspire 4G] elijahblake:
that's a HUGE DITTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
I dont really care for updates of any device maker as I'm always using custom roms anyways, right?

Also, not sure the infuse would have the development support the htc inspire/desire has. With that being said, I would think the htc inspire would have a better resale value than the infuse down the line due to lack of dev support? and updates?

I guess thats just speculation though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
I wont disagree with you there lol.

For me personally cm7 runs the smoothest. I've tried the sense based roms, latest and greatest and I always go back to cm7.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Actually without updates we never would get source code to make those custom ROMs. For instance, on the Galaxy S, if Samsung had never planned to update to froyo it would have been permanently stuck at eclair.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
You are correct.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
The only thing that matters to me is LEAKED updates. It does suck how long.the captivate went before it saw froyo, but at least Samsung had the decency to leak their froyo builds months before the update. I'm pretty sure the first 2 froyo leaks even had tether enabled by default, almost like a f*%k you to att. The only problem with leaked updates is no source, but the good thing is phones with big brothers, like the desire HD to the inspire, and galaxy s to the captivate- are carrier unlocked and get updated much sooner. Which means we get source much sooner, which is another big thing. The infuse though I don't think will be a good upgrade, in some ways a downgrade from the inspire. The galaxy s 2 on the other hand looks interesting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
What he said. Lol. For sure I'm skipping the infuse now. Like you said gs2 might be a different story.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oconnell84:
I've the searching and I have yet to find the same problem that I am experiencing. I'm trying to get back to stock or a stable rom (cm7 is not stable).

I am unable to flash to any other rom other than cm7 and even now my phone freezes during the download process of the rom. I've tried switching clockwork, I've tried flashing different roms both manual and through rom manager. I've turned s-on and off (s-on is current).

I've tried every option that I have found to revert back to stock since cm7 is awful. Does anyone know a soultion or have an Nandroid 2.2 backup ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
Did you try Berzerker's Ultimate get back to stock thread? It details what needs to happen step by step. You wouldn't be able to use just anyone's nandroid, it'd have to be from that phone.

[Desire General] EddyOS:
If you mean you couldn't S-OFF without OpenDesire then it's cause it's known you need a stock Sense ROM or certain others to do it. Would've been easier to root your stock 2.2 ROM and then use AlphaRev before even flashing a new ROM

tried it on a stock rom and it wouldnt work for me. same last year when i tried it first time round. open desire worked without a hitch.

[Focus General] xuanphucn:
I'm now using samsung focus. I don't want to be charged for data plan because now at&t will automatically recognize smart phone. is there any solution to disable it?
[Focus General] PaullikesWINMO:
I think you can always call your provider and tell them you do not want data enabled on your account. This will ensure you don't use data accidently and get charged a high premium.

Alternatively you can disable data on the phone. Settings>System>Cellular and then turn the data connection off.
[Focus General] koornneef:
If your phone is carrier unlocked (sim unlocked) you can erase/change the APN settings so it cannot make a data connection.

I've done this before when I gave my son my old WM6.0, or daughter the (now really old) NGage.

One of the other phones I had kept hacking up messages every 30 seconds about not being able to connect, so that one was a bust -- but the X1 was fine with it.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
mine is at&t phone. any solution?
[Focus General] foxbat121:
In case you Canadians don't know: AT&T, and all other major carriers in US, mandates that any Smartphone MUST subscribe to a data plan.

To OP, there is no known way to evade that data plan requirement unless you use a phone AT&T has no idea of, e.g. a model that is not in the AT&T database. Focus certainly does not fall into that category.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
does it mean that i have to take data plan no matter i want it or not?
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Yes. Sooner or later, you will receive a text message from AT&T and they will add a data plan for you if you didn't do so. Typically, AT&T will know you have a Smartphone and send you such message the second you turn on your phone but this might not always work that way.

If you check your online account information, you will see that AT&T lists your last used phone model there automatically. So, they know which phone you're using as long as it is a AT&T branded phone via the IMEI look up. It is also reported that AT&T also knows certain phone models sold by some Canadian carriers.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
is there any solution to avoid my phone from being recognized by at&t
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Buy a non-AT&T phone. That's the only solution.
[Focus General] jackleung:
I remember someone post that you can ask them to put an data block on the account so that you won't trigger the smartphone plan.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
is it possible to change its imei
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Nothing is impossible but you're on your own. If you changed your IMEI and conflict with another user's handset, bad things could happen. IMEI is your globally unique indentifier of the phone.
[Focus General] MRWRANGLERS1:
just call att customer service and tell them that you do not want data. They tell you that you cant get mms messages. But they will turn off your data if you do not want it, they did for my sons iphone with no problem.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
I did call them. and the answer is "no". they said that because u're using a smart phone so that u have to have a data plan. AT&T sucks. they try to cost their customers as always
[Focus General] foxbat121:
All major carriers, not just AT&T, require data plan on smartphones. Some, like Verizon, even tried to force you purchase text message plans for non-smartphones.
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
but I didn't buy their smartphone. I just use their service on my own phone. that's the point. It's unreasonable
[Focus General] xuanphucn:
t-mobile didn't require the data plan if you use ur own phone and don't sign any contract with them
[Focus General] foxbat121:
They didn't say you have to buy their phone. That's not the requirement. Any smartphones, as long as they can recognize, require to purchase the data plan. Unreasonable? Yes. But that is what it is. Nothing you can do about it other than don't use their services at all.

To be fair, these policies started partly due to some idiots using a smartphone without data plan and incurred thousands of dollars of data charge on monthly bill. They cried like baby to AT&T (and other carriers) claiming didn't know data could cost this much and in most part, carriers forgave those idiots for the first bill.
[Focus General] nyknoob:
Since obviously there's something fishy about AT&T being able to charge you for a service you do not use, the solution is to have lots of people file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. You can file a complaint on-line. And write to the cell phone manufacturers that there is a demand for phones that can make calls, text, and use wifi, but NOT use phone data plans. Then maybe we could actually just buy such a device and not have to do hacking.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Yes you could perform a backup of your stock 2.2 setup and restore it later, I've done it. Though you'll still be rooted. Or you can flash a zip that returns you to an out of the box state.
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Am I the only one who has a complaint with all versions of Google Maps 5 and up? I feel like anytime I launch this version of the app, the app just freezes as does the phone. I am trying to keep my Maps app at v4.7.0 but the market keeps insisting that I update it.
[Droid Pro General] dutchbastard:
Is that what caused it? An update?

Yeah I have the same problem. Whenever I load it it simply freezes after a few seconds and I can't use my phone. Either I wait a few minutes for the phone to crash completely or I pull the battery to reset.

Quite frankly its ridiculous

You think its possible to go back to that 4.70?
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Yes, dutchbastard.

Try downloading 4.7.0 from here and see if its better for you as well. You might have to freeze the v5 or up with Titanium Backup if you can't remove it.

Im not sure but on my droid pro doesn't get an accurate lock on my location when I am at a standstill. I have to start driving then eventually it will find itself.
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
That's normal. It's just the way GPS pinpoints your location (I think)
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Well, I figured out an answer to my problem.

I use TitaniumBackup to do this so you will need to be rooted. In TB, you can look up an up, long press it, and "Detach from market," effectively ceasing any connection between the apk and market. Now I can keep my v4.7.0 forever!
[Acer Iconia A500] Dalrimple:
Hi all,

This has been posted before - on Androidtablets.net, from a user named "Dan776" who also is me. This is just one way of many to get some good high quality video on the Acer.

(p.s. see further discussion here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...rum/14292-ripping-videos-dvd-acer-solved.html )

You will need "DVDFab 8" for this, which is free and downloadable from the internet.

1) Open DVDFab 8, and put in your DVD.

2) Select "DVD Ripper" from the menu on the left.

3) Hover down to "More" on the Ripper section, and select "AVI"

4) At the bottom of the window, there's a selection for "Profile" which is currently set to "generic.avi.divx.audiocopy". This needs to be changed to "generic.avi.xvid.audiocopy"

5) To further customize (sacrifice Quality for Size of File), you can select "Edit" to the right of where you chose the profile. Here you can choose a customized "bitrate"... lower bitrate is lower quality, but smaller file. Then press "OK". I wouldn't go lower than 950 KBPS but your milage may vary on this depending on the video.

6) Select the episodes / files you want to rip, select Start, wait, and that's it!

Your new file will play on the Acer tablet, using Moboplayer.

If you choose option (5), to lower the bitrate to decrease the filesize, I noticed that 950 KBPS is watchable if you're not out to impress. But if you're wanting to do an HDMI thing or just have better quality, and can handle the drive space, then 1400 KBPS or higher is probably the way to go. One more thing - if you're ripping Family Guy or South Park or something, then you can probably get away with 800 KBPS or maybe even a bit less.

There are probably more options in formats, so if anyone else has a favorite format, please let me know!

Also - for video conversion, just select "Convert" instead of "Rip", and you get the same options. This works flawlessly and saves the big headache of figuring out how to get those DVDs Acer-bound!
[Acer Iconia A500] icebike:
Since Release 3.1 This no longer works. There is no sound. You have to select use soft decoding every time you playback.

Same issue. Sync was fine though with soft-decoding but I still wonder why it's an issue.

I only have done one movie today to see how I like the software before I pay for the trial version. Worked flawlessly. I went with h.262 since that's the file type I used to use for other devices. Any reason to go with the xvid?

then copy completed file to tablet. play in Gallery!

[Acer Iconia A500] tsecreto:
Yup, handbrake works great. I can run the movies to my 56" HDTV using the HDMI cable and even runs from my HTC EVO and looks like HD to me. Also with the media server that comes with the A500 I can stream to my ps3 and play on the 56" TV.

There is no way I would go to a tablet that does not have all of the ports the A500 has, only the Toshiba so far has the same or a little more to connect.

I am waiting for the ota 3.2 and I hear that 3.2 also supports the NTFS file system from the USB port.
