[Samsung Infuse 4G] h078:
Grandafthered plan

I have grandfathered $30 real unlimited on infuse - only thing changed is 4G addition to it. I understand that they need to classify plans somehow but i do not believe that 4G changes anything related to connection speed. I live in Portland,OR area and eventhough ATT coverage is good localy there are still no real 4G speeds. I tried Inspire, Atrix and now Infuse and none of them went over 2.5Mbps download and 0.5Mbps upload -EVER.

All their bogus stories about 4G cards and 4G dataplans are fairytales --- GSM phone needs provisioned (active) SIM Card of any type, proper APN setup, and reciever able to decode given 3G /4G frequency bands. With such combination you can connect to any GSM network (provided roaming is enabled too). So you can switch SIM cards from phone to phone regardless of data plan in their system.

I was landing on PDX airport in 2009 from Frankfurt, had my N95 with Vodafone prepaid SIM in it and as soon as I turned it on, it autoconfigured and locked to Tmobile 3G network as I still had some money on it to use data and calls. I was also using one ATT SIM card with same data plan (switching to and from ) Iphone3Gs, HTC Touch Pro2, Nokia N97 and unlocked Motorola Defy. Never had single issue...

On the other hand, after being AT&T, Cingular, at&t customer for 10+ years, I am starting to wonder is their service generally worth the money I pay every month.

My bill is for 4 phones;

unlimited family text,

1400min,

real unlimited data plan for Infuse,

real unlimited data plan for Iphone,

2 unlimited data for non smartphones for kids ($10 each)

Total: ~$220 every month....

I was recently looking into Virgin Mobile plans and they give $40 unlimited calls, messages and data. For $25 you get unlimited calls, messages and 20 megs of data (for kids...and my kids use barely any data)

Now that would cut my phone bill about ~$100/month ($1200/year)

Problem is that my dear wife would let go of the Iphone only from her dead cold hands...and she is using it like it is Apache server ~ 10Gig/month :D

I know I am going off topic but regardless grandfathered or not, my data plan on ATT costs only $10 less then all unlimited package on Virgin mobile.

I am aware that they do not have fancy phones as ATT but honestly ATT does not have a near selection of good phones as Verizon or T-mobile...and lesser data speeds too.

Now I wanted some opinions on my thoughts to switch carriers (and just to let you know I never used anything but GSM since i got my first cell phone in 1993 in Hamburg Germany where I am originally from)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I wasn't even asked, I was simply told that I would keep my unlimited plan.

Those who got "screwed" - did you do your upgrade online, or instore? If instore, was it a company-owned store or a franchise?

As I understand it, franchise/kiosk/affiliate stores are incompetent. Company-owned AT&T stores supposedly have their act together, and my experience with my local store confirms this. I've only had ONE case of incorrect information/comments (regarding charger compatibility) from my local store.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sd619:
I used the iPhone 2 to get unlimited data before upgrading to the Infuse. The method to do so still works for now.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
If you had unlimited, and got tiered at upgrade, they can change it back, but it takes an override code that only upper managers get. Your best bet is to call, speak to supervisor and have them look at your history and then create a case as they likely can't and their managers aren't always around.

Also, 4G is there just to tell the towers how to do the backhaul upgrades when they get to your area.
[Desire General] brpqzme:
hey guys,

I'm using the latest radio - 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 - and my GPS stopped working (always fails). at the same time, I updated my ROM (MIUI). So I'm not sure what broke - can a ROM break the GPS feature, or is it solely the radio?

thanks! :D
[Desire General] leader288:
Both. Try flashing a different radio, see if you can get your GPS functionality back. If it works, then you've found your problem ;)

Cheers
[Desire General] jimmytheflea:
The radio is the firmware that controls all forms of wireless communication on the device. So GSM/CDMA, GPS, BT, WIFI are all covered. The ROM you use (whatever that may be) needs to have the relevant code to work with the Radio firmware.

Think of it like a driver in a computer. You need a driver for the computer to talk to the hardware.

So the answer is either or both! As above, flash a different radio version (you can downgrade with no probs) and see how you go. Also check any Radio recommendations of your chosen ROM.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donteatsoap7:
I recently dropped my Aria and cracked the screen so before I go to my local device center and get it replaced, I want to take all of my information off the phone and factory restore it (I have CM7). I could just do the factory restore without a screen but I want to ensure that's everything works out.

Is there a cable or attachment that I could use to display the screen on a television or computer monitor? Thanks a lot.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
You might consider just installing the 2.1 RUU back on the phone. It should clear everything without the need to actually see what's going on on the screen. Of course you need to clear/remove the SD card yourself.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muter:
Hey guys. Just a quick basic question here, before I get too involved with changing between roms trying to find one that suits what I want for my phone.

If I 'Brick' my Samsung Galaxy, is it essentially now useless? Or can it be unbricked using certain techniques. I don't want to go changing rom after rom just knowing eventually I'm likely to brick it, and I do quite like my phone :P

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexgogan:
Bricking your phone to an unrecoverable stage is actually quite hard to do (as long as you follow the guides on the installs properly). When I first started installing roms on my other old phone I panic'd a few times that ohhh no I bricked my phone but no I did not.

One of the most common ways of bricking your phone is not letting it complete the flash process. Been halfway through is not a good thing. I know for me when ever I install a new rom I ALWAYS do where possible a factory reset on the device, and as I have contacts etc backed up to gmail and messages backed up on server I do not really care about loosing keis support for back ups, there are plenty of great apps to do this, I also wipe cache and reformat the internal sd card as well.

So would not worry about bricking your phone but READ, and REREAD hehehe one more time (with coffee of stimulant of your choice) REREAD the rom instructions prior to install and do it step by step then you should have no problems, and if there ies, its because then the device is more than likely faulty..

One of the most common issues is the internal sd card, there is a forum post regarding testing the card, now never did this but seems a good way to see if your card can withstand the process, another is download a benchmark app run the test (turn off as much crap as you can) then compare results with other users and if its favourable then your device should be fine (this is for the overtly cautious method >:¬} .

Needless to say following my advice and it leads to a bricked device, well I it wasn't me and I was not here >:¬}
[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
I have seen this many times but cannot find a .zip anywhere with just this mod. I am looking for a loudness mod to increase the volume of the media speaker. Any help would be appreciated. I just got my Epic 4G today and I'm jumping right in. Thanks in advance :)
[Epic 4G General] Muckrak3r:
I want one too! Can barely hear my recorded audio when driving.
[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:

[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
Shameless bump, Still looking :( Maybe someone who applied a volume mod to their rom can zip up just that one mod and post it? Would be awesome :)
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I'm not sure there is an external speaker volume mod, but there is VooDoo. Simply flash a kernel that has voodoo mods included. (Genocide, Visionkernel, twilight zone kernel).
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
I bet what you saw is the loudness mod in qpst. It might have been in cmda workshop, but I'm pretty sure that there was a spot in qpst that you can set speaker loudness for the ring, speaker, and something else. I don't recall it working, but the placebo effect is of great value to those that benefit from it.
[Epic 4G General] xgerryx:
I flashed twilight zone kernel and overclocked my cpu while I was at it. Voltage control wouldn't load though, for some reason, so I had to use a different app to set it to 1.3 Ghz, and it said the frequency was adjusted automatically, so I'll see if thats true or not.

Sorry for the ignorance but how do you tell if the voodoo sound driver is actually installed? I can't find mention of it anywhere in the phone UI.

Edit: haha, Guess I missed the memo about downloading voodoo control. I got it running fine now :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fowenati:
Recently after upgrading my CM7 version to the latest final build. The camera app hasn’t been able to take a picture. I would click the button to take a picture and then it just freezes the app and I have click home to get out of it.

Any Ideas on what might be causing this? I really don't want to have to wipe the phone as reinstalling and syncing everything takes too much time for me and I have finals coming up and can't have my phone not with all my info for more than a few hours due to a business I am setting up
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Wipe only cache and reflash the ROM, that *might* do it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
Yup I agree. Also it might be a bad dl zip. If what duce posted doesn't work try just redownload the zip, do a full wipe, and flash away. Id also try reflashing your recovery it might help.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
Hardshell and Folio

I bought both today, but I figure I will just stick to the Folio case, see as the hardshell seems kinda pointless overall for my tablet. The Folio seems to fold into a stand, however mine didn't sit too well, I have a few photos but I hit my limit on upload I can post more if you need!

Edit: The Folio in Landscape kind of prevents pen button access, I dunno if this is just the way mine is cut or what...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kkinder:
Hmm. The way it rests in mime, pen access is unobstructed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kaze00:
Saw from the other thread, that there are cutouts for speakers and camera. Also just noticed from the title, no place for the pen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Renegade360:
For $50 and no pen holder, I'm happy I didn't waite and got the Platinum case for the Galaxy tab for $15 cheaper. Does the same thing, with the stand, etc. Just a couple of easy modifications with sicsors and a hole punch.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vj092887:
So does your Flyer fit in your folio case with the hard shell on also because I have a tpu case on my flyer and I want to keep it on but hope to still be able to fit it in the folio case?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] glitzbd:
Doesn't fit

Yeah vj092887 it does not seem to fit with the hardshell attached although I didn't really push very hard to get it into the folio when it had the shell on...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scitech09:
I have both of the RocketFish cases and I would not recommend putting the tablet in the leather case with the hard shell attached since it is too large and would likely stretch out the leather.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] scitech09:
Warning about the RocketFish hard case. I removed it to add a microSD card and it was scuffing the aluminum on the Flyer. No scratches, but some aluminum shavings did come off. Although the aluminum is pretty to look at, it scuffs and scratches very easily. I honestly prefer the more resilient plastic, like on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] senji75:
I used the leather case from them and noticed it messed up my Xagg shield... so I had Best Buy replace the shield. I returned the case and got the zip up case that fits the 7" tablets. Much better! I -may- spend the $29 for the hardcase if I notice a scratch or two on the back.

-- Insert 2 cents here --
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] arwen:
Looks similar to the Targus Truss case for Playbook. That has no hole for camera (but I don't use anyway) but does have pen holder. The Targus case just needs a strip of Styrofoam from the packing cut and inserted for the Flyer to fit in nice and tight.
