[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xceebeex:
I have had this issue for a while but it seems to be happening more often now. I am currently running the Com ROM 1.3. Anyone else have this issue? It is really annoying.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 420fan:
I have been having this same issue, but I've been having it since the super clean days. I am now running Evil Fascination. I think it has something to do with the froyo roms. Seems like it does it after there has been a lot going on with my phone. Like windows get crazy when you hit something too many times and it takes awhile for the action to happen...

Just my 2 cents.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebirthan1x:
Hi,

maybe it is a stupid question, but how do they (verizon) technically find out that someone tether over 3G, when you have a unlimited data plan (3G) and use 3G normaly from your phone to download? What is the difference between the data that comes over 3G when I download the same pdf to phone or over wifi/3G tether to the iPad ? It makes no sense to me.

Thanks for your answers
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
The amount of data you use is one method. The other is that they are building in tethering monitoring to the kernels that sends a message to the system that you're tethering.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeezyMT3G:
I know for the DX/D2 the leak of GB from Verizon actually had a tether detection and every time you tried to tether, weather it was barnicle or wireless tether it would redirect you to Verizons website and asked if you wanted to tether to pay another fee ....idk if it will happen with this phone is VZ does decide to push out a GB for us ...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
The Fascinate has "hidden" tether protection that we have bypassed thanks to the kernel sources, but it is there in the stock kernel.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebirthan1x:
So there is a program that work in the background sending data to the carrier when you use Wifi and 3G at the same time ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Either a program/service within the framework, or a special command/method is used to notify the network that you're tethering.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahud:
But if we are using a ROM such as Evil Fascination or Community then they wouldn't be able to tell because of the custom kernels that come with them right?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Yes, the custom kernels all have it bypassed as far as I am aware. At least we think that we have bypassed it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebirthan1x:
Thanks for the information, its very interesting . If I am understand it right, there is a part of it in the ROM and a second in the kernel. They have to work together, if one of the parts missing like in a custom kernel it prevent the phone from sending ?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahud:
Even if you're using verizon's 3G mobile hotspot app? Or do you have to download a different wireless tethering app? (Which we can't cause verizon blocked all of them from the market lol)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nunyazz:
Wifi tethering apps aren't hidden in the market for me....
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeezyMT3G:
No apps are hidden ....only one that was taken off was Wireless Tether and thats was a long time ago ...the rest are still there
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkzbdroid:
I work for an indirect sales and have access to Verizon and ill test to see if Verizon recognizes any tethering downloads...I know they can definitely tell whats tethered and whats not....will report back with confirmation tomorrow

edit:will test CM and Stock just to see how much is visible to them
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkzbdroid:
I know from working on a customers account that info your asking is clearly defined under current usage tab in our system...it divides the data used into smartphone usage and tethered usage...assuming they considered tether in the sense of hardwired and wireless...yes it is crazy what we can see from your phone reporting to us....will the system know? yes....will someone at verizon care? probably, are they going to pick thru every little customers account who has EVER tether and charge them? probably not....just dont poke the bear and you'll be fine...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebirthan1x:
....and what is the difference?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mod143:
hopefully they dont change it where that tethered usage is automatically added to your bill. im on comm rom so it shouldnt affect me but those that arent should be careful or consider a custom rom
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnoyeb:
from what I had read at one time on ATT's tethering crackdown, the system was easily able to tell due to one little piece... the TTL.

here's a quote and more info on it... probably pertains to verizon as well.

I'm not sure if our android tethering apps take this into account and change the TTL of the traffic on the fly or not... would be interesting to test out though...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
I think multi-touch would be possible on your x10mini but at a small cost, I have a theory that if you buy a second hand mini pro screen from ebay (maybe not possible) and hard mod it and change it with the x10mini screen.... It would be possible to go on SEUS install the X10 Mini Pro stock launcher and maybe, just maybe you could ADB Shell through that way. In theory it sounds like it work, however you would need a lot of skill and knowledge to be able to do it.

I have once accidently flashed the X10mini stock market on my x10 mini pro and it worked just fine.

Maybe some of the devs and mods here could give their opinion about my noob idea.

Happy days. :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
lets keep it an theory...

well on paper it is possible

but to do it it is a job that is much to hard to accomplish
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Really hard, different hardware controllers. Im Electronical Engineering Student :P
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
I did think about this... you can actually buy an x10 pro digitizer in ebay, and it is not very expnsive... but it comes fixed to the x10 pro case, and i don't think it fits in an x10 mini, just by looking at it of course.

??? Sent from my X10 Mini using XDA Premium App ???
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] slade87:
Problem would be that the connection to the digitizer is different. I2c vs. Serial uart. Next thing would be kernel for mini is not compiled with cypress chip to begin with. It would be vague to say the module would be enough to do the job. That leads to next major problem, custom kernel would most likely be needed
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
Anyone managed to unload the x10mini kernal?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] aZuZu:
dude stare in sun or something... :D

and keep away of football field.. new lines are just been made.. hard?! :D

if connectors are the same and if wires got to the same point and if amss is support for new display then it is possible...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
Well, like slade said the connector is different, and the kernel poses a problem too.. maybe someone could try the fake DT like on the big x10? (Im not complaining, I have the mini pro :D)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
If you just put that, they can have the same pins, but how do you know the voltages, and data distribution it's the same?, i mean you can do that and got a nice short circuit due different pins distribution, and then see your display getting damaged.. sorry english is not my native language, idk if you got what i mean, make that is like try to put a amd processor on intel motherboard :), After doing that it's needed to know, what it's the distribution of voltages, and if they're the same, yeah we can do it!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Haaley:
By doing so you risk killing the X10 Mini. And the money you paid for it and the screen of the Mini Pro, could have been used to purchase a Pro =P

And Again: Sorry for my too bad english....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
Yes, that's really the best idea, sell your mini, and buy a pro, if you want DT... easier!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Haaley:
Yeah! A Colombian Coffee to celebrate.

You want owain??? Oh sorry, i forgot completely, you can't :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] D4rKn3sSyS:
hahaha Lol, lets drink colombian and brazilian coffe :).. not you owain
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
Maybe if we add columbian coffe to the x10mini digitizer? It might work....:p
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Haaley:
Yeah it might work. We'll give you the honor of be the first to try =D

Colombian & Brazilian Coffees rullez!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
I have a Mini Pro, seems like my patience to wait for the pro version has paid off these days.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potatoman:
Just contacted GelaSkins to enquire about the S II, and they replied with this:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hi Potatoman

Thank you for your email! The Galaxy S II is definitely on our list of devices to skin, but I'm afraid that we do not have a release date scheduled yet. Stay tuned!

Elizabeth Czetyrbok | GelaSkins Inc.

Check us out on Facebook and Twitter!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shame the release date isn't set yet, but good news nonetheless! Personally I find them to be some of the most unique skins (I use the Neo New York one for my laptop :D) and they do a great job of protecting the device. Thought I'd put this up here in case anyone was holding off on buying a skin until something new came around, I avoided the gel ones because I find them a bit plain and boring.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] *SanSiro*:
Yeah, I like them too, they look great! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potatoman:
Indeed! I dunno, but for a phone that had 3 million preorders, I like these skins because they make my phone feel unique :D sue me, I like being a snowflake ^_^
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Scottland:
Not sure how well they would look with the textured back on the SGS2. We shall see :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] *SanSiro*:
You can also upload your own disign and they will fabricate it for you!

:)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] AllGamer:
no directly links to advertise please

it's okay to link to ebay/amazon and other such market places, but direct links to the manufacture or distributor websites are not allowed, unless a Marketing deal has been made with XDA Admins
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potatoman:
Apologies, I wasnt aware, i just saw other threads discussing it and assumed the rule referred to official advertising.

As for the textured back, I don't think it will matter, my laptop one is pretty thick anyway so it should smooth it out. My laptop isnt AS textured as the SGS2, but it flattens this backplate out quite nicely, so we'll see i guess.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
amagad how long should we wait :(((( don't they know that our devices will be delivered soon (many have already got it)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Potatoman:
I think they will release once it is out in the US, since they are a US company. I've bought a cheap case off ebay for £4 to protect the phone until gelaskins release them :3
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
by the way, there is an alternative - ZAGGskins. does anybody know if they are planning to make skins for our device too?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] αкαѕнα:
Great idea... i cant wait until they have the template ready :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
no.. they are not planning to do skins for s2...... :(((
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KLoNe1:
Hopefully, when SGS2 sells like hotcakes, manufacturers will start churning out cases and protectors like no-ones business :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
This is the first time I've heard of Gelaskins. I looked them up and their skins look amazing! Looking forward to their release of skins for the SGS2.

EDIT: Just received news from Gelaskins that the skins for the SGS2 should be up on the site on Monday or Tuesday!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stBlueJay:
SGS2 Skins now available :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Thanks for the heads up :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mimicuk:
Brilliant

Just ordered mine :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
For some reason, my card isnt getting accepted. Well Ill try later I guess
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stBlueJay:
I'm gonna order mine tonight i think... some great looking skins on their
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mimicuk:
Just a thought!!!!

Would the skin not interfere with the touch keys at the bottom?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Nope its very thin and hardly makes any difference. Like a very thin layer of skin
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
Going to order Colin Thompson's Bookshelf skin! :)

If we use a Gelaskin does this mean we can't use a screen protector?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
it is only for back cover. u can still use another protector for screen i guess...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Screen is not covered in GelaSkin unless they give a free screen protector which I guess they dont. So you can use the protector you feel like.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Is there a video for how you put this on or something like that?

What material is it etc.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Well its basically like a stronger version of clear film. Or like Invisible Shield.

I dont think there is any video from GelaSkins itself but there will be instructions in the package and there are many youtube user videos that demonstrate it such as this :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3q151YS8TE
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
If it's for the back cover only, then why does it come up to the top and bottom of the phone on the gelaskin site?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
No its not just for the back. Its there for the top and bottom of the front and also for the sides for some devices such as the iPhone 4. Not sure the Galaxy S II has it on the sides.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Ahk sweet, I ordered one just now.

I probably won't use the top/bottom if it interferes with the touch buttons.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
No mate. They will work perfectly fine. They do test the skins before releasing them as well.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Rooster19:
Sounds good then, cheers
[Galaxy S II Accessories] onbacardi:
really cool if they can do a good job tho!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] varunkumars:
http://.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II

Great skins.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] zen123:
Just tried to create a custom design and I noticed what might be an error in the skin's cut out placement of the battery door.

On the battery door to the right of the camera there is a small cut out where one would put a fingernail to open the door. In the Gelaskins template it clearly shows this cut out on the bottom to the right of the Samsung logo which is wrong.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Skysezto:
i ordered the owl one.

overall, it is a really nice skin. However, the skin doesn't cover the 4 corner and the top and bottom side of the phone.

Here are some screenshots (sorry, for the bad quality)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] asheg:
any1 have discount code?:P

well, found myself: couponrefund - 10%

i just ordered mine. code worked
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Can you please include a shot of the front? Thanks
[Galaxy S II Accessories] erazer007:
Oh thats awesome thanks a lot :D you dont like the matching wallpaper?

I guess Ill get one seeing that it fits perfectly. Any difference to the usage? Hows the grip? Does it come off easily?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nicoX:
Then going to wait and see what Zagg is waiting about. Or have Zaggs un skinned covering those areas that Gelaskin don't cover.

How can they leave out the areas that are most exposed to damage?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] CarpeDiemsNuts:
Yeah i used to think gelaskins were the nuts, ordered some custom and stock ones for the desire then found that gelaskins dont take into account the light sensors above the screen which meant trying manually cut them which is alot harder than it sounds.

Did you find this as well or have they fixed the problem and realised we need the sensors?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Tijmen:
I can't post links yet :( but you can clearly see they are not covered

It looks like they have fixed it...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] linqiang110:
not really like it，some of them nice。 expensive
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iced_tea:
My skin had the wrong cut out like you said. But I contacted them and informed them about the error. They sent me a new skin, free of charge, with the correct cut out.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fred001:
Hello !

I have a big problem with my galaxy s.

Since January i am working with my JPY firmware quiete fine. On sunday the phone rebooted without anything done by me. Afterwards my homescreen was empty.

Most of my apps are not working now. So i have done a wipe. Nothing, the same. Interesting is, that all my data was still on the device. Then i try to format the internal sd. Not working, no error message. When I delete all files and deinstalled all apps, everthing was gone. After a reboot all data is back on the internal sd as before.

OK then i tried to flash different 1 and 3 file firmware versions with odin(also with repartitioning). But no version is really working and i never get to the homescreen. So I flashed the JPY back. Then everything is like before my first steps. All data is on the phone, i can not delete anything.

I tried do delete the storage also with recovery mode. Nothing.

I tried with adb (android sdk), deleted all files in /mnt/sdcard. After a remount all data appears back.

What can i do to get my phone working ? I have found no possibility so far.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Frederik
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] harmandeep45:
try to update it using kies or if u have latest version then try flash your device using odn flasher
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fred001:
Thanks for your help harmandeep45. But all this is already done. I worked on this issue little longer and can say that there is some unrepairable problem with the internal sd. I can not delete any partition neither with adb (parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 rm). When I do a print everything is there. I am able to mount and unmount the partitions. No problem. But it is not possible to reorganize them. Even if i write on the sdcard partition, after a remount it is as before the write. Maybe the flash memory is broken. Does anybody had the same issue? I already tried the things written in this post, but without luck : http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-845708.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wilobmw:
I have the same problem, i had installed another firmware on my sgs and start throwing me program errors I had before in my other firmware and when it comes to memory I saw that the folders that were there had not cleared and when I trying to delete the folders and files reappeared.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fred001:
Ok, what i have tested is to flash different firmware versions. Nothing worked. I used the debug console adb to log in and tried to delete the partitions from /dev/block/mmcblk0 with parted. Nothing happens. I am not able to delete them. I don't want to send the phone to the samsung service, because there is important company data on it, like emails, banking, ebay, etc. I tried to mount it in Linux as usb memory device and used gpartet to create new partitions and overwrite all with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1, but after reboot everything was like before. Is there any other possibility to delete the flash???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wilobmw:
you have to flash it with jtag box riff, but I doubt you have one, you have to find a place where they have the box ;)

I read a review today about the Samsung 10.1 and how sometimes it would shut down completely if left on standby for to long and how the user rarely did it anyway so it was not a real issue :confused:

That made me think well that's what i've always done with any adroid tablet ive ever had! (Streak, GTab, Transformer), If i had to shut it down fully everytime i used it it would kill half the functionality; eg: picking it up surf the internet for 10 minutes then putting it back down again.
