Vodafone offer tendering addons. This makes me think that WiFi hotspot will be available on Vodafone android devices (else how would they sell the add-on packages). There is also no way they can detect teathering use, except by looking for PC specific traffic like Windows update.
[HTC Sensation] fz9999:
I had that email last week.

They told me yesterday (I phoned them about something else) they were expecting them on the 16th May and should be with the shops a couple of days after that.
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
I would only use it for my iPad occasionally, which is great if it just comes out of my monthly allowance. I cannot justify paying for a tethering plan for occasional use.

Thanks for the info.
[HTC Sensation] Barff1984:
I saw the 'Three' advert on the London Tube., basically it's

The One Plan - SIM Only gives you:

2000 minutes (anytime, any network)

5000 texts

All-you-can-eat Data (no fair use, no cap...completely unlimited)

5000 Three-to-Three minutes

Voicemail

(Three use t-mobile's network system, so the signal should be alright)

Sounds pretty good, and their website says they're getting the Sensation soon.

I'm currently on T-mobile and finished my contract last year, so got £25 discount from my contract and 10gb internet cap, decided not to get a new phone then, so i can upgrade to Sensation for free with t-mob.

Just can't decide what to do though. Vodafone aren't really very good from experience and their internet policy is REALLY bad. They will charge you per megabyte when you go over. That's always a good thing about tmob, they don't charge, they just speed limit.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Really looking forward to my Sensation now. Best thing is, mine was a free upgrade :D Hehe.

Now my girlfriend has my old HD2 running Android, got my Desire HD and soon a Sensation to play with :D Can't wait!

Just really hope we can work to get S-OFF on it soon!
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
In fact, just watched a hands on with the Sensation, and the movies on HTC Watch are set to download on WiFi ONLY so you don't exceed your cap!
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
Three use their own network, which is really good now. They won't be getting the phone until next month sometime. Their 'all you can eat' data plan will be £40 per month minimum with the phone.

I would never go with t-mobile again. Crap IMO. Orange have been ok for me, but not impressed with their data speeds. O2 and Three are good in my experience.

Vodafone are the only network I have never been with so far, so am hoping I won't be disappointed.
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Vodafone are good mate. I have been with them for a few years now, and never had any problems with them.

An occasional billing mistake, with an overcharge, but always been able to revert it, and get the credit back. Was also my own fault for being stupid with my bill ;)
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
Sounds good.

How are their data speeds?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Good as far as I can tell mate :)

Never really tested it properly ;)

I use my WiFi when I'm at home of course, and out and about feels good.

Update: Test data from Speedtest:

Ping: 134ms

Download: 2314 kbps

Upload: 2273 kbps

In in Glasgow, that's using a server in Aberdeen to test. I do get full H signal here, pretty much in the middle of Glasgow.
[HTC Sensation] DuoM:
I'm with O2 right now and they are rubbish. I've been with them almost two years and I'm looking to leave.

I have very little coverage in my house and I find them to be pretty poor for data in general.

Even worse I have found that they have network capacity issues where even with perfect coverage mhy phone will ring twice or three times before going to voicemail while the person calling will hear it ring twice or three times as long.

Calls will often go straight to voicemail or the caller will be told that the call cannot be connected and there will be no offer of voicemail. It's worth saying again that the voice problems I just outlined have nothing to do with coverage or signal strength or device because I experience them in areas with perfect coverage and using multiple devices. Other people with different devices also experience the same problems.

It's unfortunate because I have a great SIM Only deal with O2 right now.

I was on T-Mobile before O2 and while they too have poor coverage in my house they were okay in many other places ... except for while travelling when I noticed that they had an issue with a number of other networks when it came to receiving SMS messages. I talked to T-Mobile at length and they didn't have a clue about how to investigate the problem.

So I got a Vodafone PAYG SIM to test and I have had no problems. I'm getting a Three and an Orange SIM sent to me and I'll do some testing with those before making the jump. I was on Orange a long time ago and I never had any problems but that was before the rise of Smartphones.

If you aren't sure just get a free SIM sent to you and do a test on that network for a few days.
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
Cool. I look forward to trying them out ;)
[HTC Sensation] simacca:
The reason I left O2 for Orange is because their customer services went completely downhill and I was unable to get through for days to try and upgrade, so I thought F**k it and I cancelled. Never had any probs with coverage or data speeds though.

Have tried a Voda sim in my 'non' smartphone as my iPhone is locked, and i got a 3g signal indoors :)

I think it all depends on where you live and what areas you visit most as to what network will work best for you.

T-mobile happened to be the worst for me lol.
[HTC Sensation] DuoM:
T-Mobile customer services messed me around on a upgrade and that was the last straw for me so I moved to O2, who were much better for travel.
[HTC Sensation] descb600f:
When you can get it and then it's orange when there is no 3 signal so not much better

If I was on 3 I would have no signal at home or out and about most of the time (T-Mobile isn't much better).

When in the highlands or at home it's Vodafone/O2 or nothing
[Xoom General] Rovman:
Has anyone got a link to, or is able to do a full dump of their UK wifi only model.

I know the hardware is the same, but the software is definately different.

Ive flashed the us wifi only 3.1 but want to restore back to stock and foolishly didn't backup beforehand. (I read that the us and uk version are identical, but they I fact are not)

I don't care about losing root either

Thanks

I have now been able to setup my oskitchen with sense 2021 and os 21913 and 23569 for the HD2. After some testing I have found that in the contacts I no longer have the option to sync the contacts pictures with facebook. I have facebook enabled but I can only sinc with normal pictures.

What do I need to do to enable the sync with facebook?

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: found that there was a registery key:

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dsign:
I'm on SuperClean 2.9.2v. Can I flash Community Rom v1.3 straightaway or should I install 1.0, then 1.2 patch and then flash 1.3? Sorry if it sounds like a noob Q but I couldnt find much information on the progression. I mean, nothing was mentioned in the 1.3 update if it could be flashed as an independent rom or was to be flashed over 1.0.

Thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace5198:
install 1.0 then 1.3
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitroglycerine33:
Just wipe and flash 1.3.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitsuj17:
1.3 is a full rom....not a patch...no need to install previous versions
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dsign:
Thanks ace5198 and nitroglycerine33.

I find both the replies contradicting each other, but I presume wiping data and clearing the caches, and then flashing 1.3 straightaway (like nitroglycerine33 says) should work(?).

Also, I will backup my current rom and settings via CWR. But in case something goes wrong and I need to restore my current rom (SC2.9.2v), what kernel will I have to flash to make things work again? I guess I read somewhere that the nandroid backup doesnt back up the kernel. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dsign:
Nitsuj17, your reply came just in time! Thanks for clearing that along with Nitroglycerine33! :)

PS: If its not too much of a trouble, for beginners it'll be great if it is mentioned in the Changelog (such as 1.3) that it is a full rom and can be flashed straightaway. :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ace5198:
ok so it is a full rom.. but u could flash any touch wiz kernal for sc2.9.. but u def wont need to revert.. if you havent yet.. you should update ur radio as well

As a side note, phone still shows 225 MB of RAM, confirming that this is ONLY an OS update, not a Dell update.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qman66:
im running the extreme1.92x kernel oc'd at 1.4 but not sure about the best setup to save battery. i made one profile for charging i put in on max. not sure what to do with the advanced tab settings.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
Profiles are really dependent on the user and their needs. The one piece of advice I can give you is to make sure you have a profile set up in case your phone starts to over heat. An OC'ed phone maxed during a charge may get quite toasty.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qman66:
any suggestions?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmiller98:
Imo dont o/c. Let the kernel operate the way it is setup. O/c cause reboots, phone heating up, and freezes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsDollar:
I'm running Adrynalyne's 4.4.7 kernel and use the following and get really good battery life with no overheating and no lag. I don't do a screen of profile because the governor seems to handle that pretty well.

Normal 1024 max 245 min-Smartass governor

Profiles:

Battery < 25% 768 max 245 min-On demand Governor

Charging 1280 Max 245 min-Smartass governor
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dajogejr:
Does that actually work?

I thought you had to choose a default governor and setup profiles accordingly.

I didn't know you could setup profiles with a governor that wasn't active or chosen on boot.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
the thunderbolt is so fast already theres really no need to over clock. i left it at stock for normal, toned down to 768 when <30% battery and down to 368 when screen off. its a little slow for about half a second when waking up but the battery life is amazing. i can make it through a whole day without charging with moderate use. also running ziggys bfs kernel on virusrom and that added a ton of speed. way better than overclocking that drains your battery
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qman66:
im not asking about overclocking or profiles, just want to know about advanced settings. everything is set to default -1.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopediculous:
What Rom are you using?

Go to settings, menu, wireless networks, mobile networks and uncheck the third box. No need to have mobile data always on for most peeps . You'll still have 4G n everything, but gain a good 1-2 maybe more hrs (depending on use, kernels, governor settings, and I/O scheduling. I personally am running BAMF 1.6.2 with adryns 4.4.7 kernel, no set CPU, using tool box for that at 245mhz min - 1.024GHz max with ondemand governor and most importantly SIO Scheduler. Try these n you will have amazing performance and better battery life. Let me know you opinions :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprodigy:
No matter how precise I click, I can't get SetCPU to set 1024mhz. Closest I can get is 1036. What gives? lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdompor:
Haha, I couldn't tell if you were being serious or not but each kernel has speeds at different increments. 1036 will probably be as close as you can get to 1024.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsmith35sg:
My settings are identical except running 1.6.3, what does the SIO scheduler do or any of the schedulers for that matter?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopediculous:
You can use Wikipedia for the scheduler info. Once you look into it you'll know why I didn't wanna type all those details in here from my phone. Lol, but yeah set that to SIO, Take off ENABLE data always on. N you should be better :) let me know.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dopediculous:
Go to manage applications and clear data from set CPU and when u go back in to set CPU you will have to hit auto detect n if ur kernel has that frequency you'll be able to click it.

Hi,

I have made a little .sh script as a test.

But when i use terminal emulator to run it i get the 'permission denied' error even though my phone is rooted. Please tell me what to do to run a .sh file on my phone.

Script:

#!/bin/sh

echo hi

Thanks in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Skin1980:
i think that if you do:

su (to get superuser privileges)

sh your_script.sh

might work....

alternative is to install gscript and put your script in the gscript folder on sdcard....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BlueCrystal:
The console needs to be granted superuser access, then ran as sh script.sh or bash script.sh. afaik at least. Youll probably have to use su like the person above said.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krutle:
I did the su command. But i still can't open it. All other commands work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krutle:
Ok so it sorta worked.

I used the cd command to get to the file.

I used su command.

Then i typed sh script.sh .

Nothing happened, no echo or anything, just a new line with # on it.

What's happening.

Btw thanks for the replies.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ryocoon:
Maybe stating the obvious, but did you CHMOD the file to be +X ? Use Root Explorer or chmod at a SU capable command line to change the file mods to allow execute.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kofrad:
This should be the solution. X is the execute bit. Basically without that bit set on the file permissions, the OS won't allow that file to be executed as a program.

chmod +x filename.sh

Try running that command in terminal emulator and it should clear things up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krutle:
I used that command and it said 'bad mode'.

It still doesn't work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anxsds:
If you are running the script with this:

sh script.sh

then the executable bit doesn't need to be set in order to execute it, since you are specifying 'sh'. If you were trying to run it with this:

./script.sh

then it would require the executable bit to be set.

In an attempt to answer the question, where abouts is your script saved and which user owns it? Just as a quick test on mine, I made a script named test.sh (containing the same lines as yours) on the root of my sd card, cd'd to it and ran sh test.sh, and that seemed to work. That script ended up being owned by 'system'.

As a test to make sure sh is behaving, can you run the following from the terminal:

sh -c 'echo hello'

EDIT: note that all of the above was run as a regular user, not root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krutle:
Yeh it said hello when i did the command you said.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anxsds:
It must be a problem with the file in some way then. Can you run the following from the folder that your script is in and give the output?

ls -l | grep script.sh

Also, what did you use to make the script - terminal in Android, or adb'd it from your PC etc?

(Aside: just a thought, you probably can't do chmod's on sdcard files if it's formatted to FAT32 since FAT32 doesn't understand Linux permissions)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nicandris:
you can also try an app i found some time ago. SL4A
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] krutle:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mukundrd:
Even though your device is rooted, android environment won't allow applications to execute 'sh' commands.

As android security architecture says, applications run within a secured execution space inside Application Sandbox, sh execution can bypass this security.

If there are any exceptional cases where few devices allow 'sh' execution, well... OEM's needs to be reviewed again.

You have to put the script somewhere that it has permission to execute from, copy it to /data/local/tmp first. Then in your terminal run each of these commands;

I will say that you expect too much while you have installed crap like software such juice defender etc - what do you want to achieve?

also - give me example of smartphone with good support? htc? NO samsung? NOOOOOOOO motorola: I dont think so

my 3 day old 2x kept 2 days on one charge and still had 12% of battery. i havent installed any power saving software, hsdpa was on with gmail push + some mail syncing and many phone calls, some photos etc. today i have unplugged it from 2nd charding at 7am and still 81% after 8 hours and about 40 minutes of phone calls - why complain?
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
I stopped reading from "crap like software such juice defender". Juice defender is not crap.
[LG Optimus 2x] masi0:
how do you know it is not causing your problems?:eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
Juice defender causes the phone to reboot because it comes with buggy drivers. In particular the wifi driver seems to be the biggest cause. If you stop it from enabling/disabling wifi it should work well.
[LG Optimus 2x] gaeng4665:
for gingerbread juice defender sucks. sorry to tell you but i used it myself a long time on the n1, then the nexus s and on the lg o2x. i occasionally give it another try but always come to the same conclusion. since we got gingerbread (that would require you to run cm7 at this point) it just stopped working properly for me. especially now on the o2x, on which we do not have software running as it suppose to run, i'd adwise you not to use juice defender. but you should test it for yourself... just my experience with it....
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
I myself have never tried gingerbread before. And I am reluctant to try the nightly builds just yet. But JD works well with Froyo. Just not well with the O2X since we have driver issues. A hardware problem. Not a problem with JD. Anyway, I am runny Froyo now and had JD uninstalled due to the reboot problem allegedly caused by the wifi drivers.
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
Thanks for your review. I was thinking between Atrix, Galaxy S2 and 2X. GS2 has too big screen(and still not in my country) for me, Atrix is too expensive in Europe (£499 in UK -.-' without docks), so I think 2x will be my choice.

But wait, that wifi driver can't be fixed? I always connect drivers with software, not hardware. :(
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
GS2 isnt out here either (Singapore). And heard the Atrix has a locked bootloader. The wifi driver will be fixed eventually. Dont misunderstand me. Wifi works fine. It only goes bonkers when you install JuiceDefender and it tries to disable your wifi.
[LG Optimus 2x] fallout0:
If you use a custom kernel with an update wifi driver it doesn't reboot at all anymore
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
Nice to hear that. Seems that 2X is the best buy, has unlocked bootloader, very good HDMIout performance, high FPS ingame etc. I can get it sim-locked for 100euro + 40euro monthly, and sim-free it is 450-500euro. Could be cheaper but my country sucks xD. I will get it for 1-2 months, it should be much cheaper :D.
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
Yep, for its calibre, the O2X is priced really nicely. I got it for 348 Singapore dollars, which is USD$280, with a 2 year contract.
[LG Optimus 2x] n3n00:
So, there are NO hardware problems with O2X, it is only a bad software?

I was in dilemma between those 3 devices, but almost gave up of O2X because someone said reboots/freezes were hardware problem :).
