Hi

I just got my first android phone yesterday, everything new to me. Since I am using tmobile and I have to unlock it. I have downloaded attn1's kit but the manual is like French book to me. Is there a video I can see and follow?

I found a video on youtube, the guy was using bubby's, I wonder if that will unlock the sim too?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Hack kit will unlock it to.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dylan5188:
Do you mean bubby323's hack kit?
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
Attn12 hack kit
[HTC Inspire 4G] justFaisal:
Use bubby' kit.....

I prefer to use Handcent instead of the default sms software. I tryed the following to replace the default sms icon in touchwiz, but unfortunately the Handcent icon appears only for a few seconds after boot then disappears... any ideas why?!

Opened in SQLite Editor App

/data/data/com.sec.android.app.twlauncher/databases/launcher.db

opened table menu_item

modified row with page_number=-1 and cell_number=2

putting in component_name:

com.handcent.nextsms/com.handcent.sms.ui.ConversationExList

overwriting the default value:

com.android.mms/com.android.mms.ui.ConversationComposer
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krabman:
LOL Open the app drawer and select the main menu and then edit. You can drag whatever shortcut you like over any of the default applications in the lower three (plus app drawer) icons that are stationary and the old shortcut and icon are then replaced with the new shortcut of your choice.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wergio:
Ops... feeling dumb now :p too many hours tweaking and I can't see the easy things! I nead a break :) Thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krabman:
No worries, you can screw around with these things quite a bit and still miss some things.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 513:
Personal taste, but ditch Handcent for Go SMS Pro.
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
So, if you ever take your kids to the pool, make sure you check your pockets. I discovered that after 45 minutes my phone was in my back pocket of my swim trunks. I let it dry in the sun until I got home, then did the rice thing.

As of now, when I put the battery in, the light on the back flashes on, the phone vibrates, but thats about it.

I called the insurance and have a new one on the way, but its $130 I really didnt have to spend.

:mad::mad:
[myTouch 4G General] Nicgraner:
I did the same except it was a party so I had to play it cool but the girl who's house I was at flipped out and felt terrible as I pulled it dripping out of my pocket and we went inside and put it in rice. A week later I took it out and it booted up but the digitizer was sadly dead :(
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
Yep. What was weird was that after the 45 minutes, there wasnt as much water pouring out as I thought, There wasnt even any under the screen like I would expect, but I would rather pay the money for a full functioning phone than one that onlu partially works. I just am glad its covered. I remember a time when no water damage was covered at all.
[myTouch 4G General] aznprodgy:
dont you just hate when that happens? its happened to me a couple of times, but thankfully my phones at the time were crap so it didnt matter that much to me:D. but yeah Im glad phones with water damage are covered now, or youd be out around $400 for a brand new phone:o
[myTouch 4G General] ryumo:
Yikes.....

This reminds me of when I was pushed into a pool with my cell phone in my pocket. It was a BB8900 that was ruined. The culprit immediately gave me the cash to buy a new one, thankfully.
[myTouch 4G General] anthonya1g:
What about what you had in your phone, all your data? I think I would go crazy if someone does that to me now. Even though I got everything backed up!
[myTouch 4G General] silentsnow31802:
Thats what im thinking! Phones are always replaceable, data is not.
[myTouch 4G General] getrdy:
Why not wait a week and get the htc sensation. It will cost a bit more but id say its worth it.
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
Cuz I am not elidgable for an upgrade until next year and dont have $550 to fork out for the Sensation. I would love to get it, but thats way too much out of pocket for a phone.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Here's a quick tip for people that fall into this trap, never call in and say it got ruined in water or your screen is broken, you always take out the sim and keep it off wait a day and call your provider and tell them your not sure if it's stolen or lost.

They will charge you the $40 dollars and send you the new one, if your phone is not missing or stolen they will not take care of you. This can only happen in one calender year so no insurance jobs. You have to be on an insurance plan prior to this event other wise you pay the whole amount.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
Don't know if insurance fraud is something that should be suggested on here. Don't get me wrong, i could care less about how much money insurance companies make off of a claim. But not a good suggestion nonetheless.
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
I dont know what carrier you have, but I am with Tmobile and smartphones carry a $130 claim fee.
[myTouch 4G General] eqjunkie829:
I don't carry insurance on my phones because it's a ripoff. Why am I going to pay asurion 5-6 bucks a month for them to send me some crap refurbished phone IF i break or lose my phone. I would rather save my money and buy a used one from someone online for the price of the deductible they are going to charge me IF I file a claim. Btw i have been using cell phones since the brickphones came out and have never broken or lost one yet.
[myTouch 4G General] agentaaron:
We have a pool at our house, for the most part phones stay well away from the water...but accidents have happened. When we went to seaworld last summer, there were people who were vacuum sealing phones in clear plastic which is a great idea...headed to Walmart and bought the sealer and a pack of small bags...works great for days that we know we will be out there all day. I can even punch a hole through the sealed part at the top and put my phone on a lanyard to wear around my neck
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
Strange to hear that. Its cool if thats what you do, but the referbs that come from them are certified referbs and have a 6 month warranty. They even cover stolen or lost cell phones. My personal choice has always been to get the insurance. $130 for a like new to me is better than $200 plus for a like new used from someone. jmo

You also mentioned "IF". Thats what insrance is all about the "IF" siutation. I do know that the insuance companies make millions on us because the "IF" usually never happens, but that's life I guess.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Actually it's a known fact, they list it in their disclaimer when you pay for insurance they have to tell you what the terms of service are. It clearly states if damage to any device is a result of the user then you are solely at fault and no claim will be entertained by said warranty, if the device is either stolen or lost under said claim then the deductible will apply and a replacement will be issued over the contract term not to exceed more than 2 times over a calender year.

They basically tell you to not bother if the screen is cracked or the buttons pop off but if it's lost or stolen then give us a call.

I actually dropped my last phone in the water while working on a side job and when I called the customer service person said "Ohh so you lost the phone, we'll send you out a new one then" AFTER I told him what happened.

Their well aware of what happens and mistakes get made but why pay for a service if it's not working for you. I didn't scam anyone nor did I offer any information that wasn't offered to me direct from T-Mobile, I paid my $40.00 dollars and had my phone back in 3 days (My Touch 4G). It's better than paying for the phone out right or second hand.

For those whom think I'm some thief or a scam junky just don't read the suggestion, keep paying top dollar for services you never use and we'll be cool I really don't care either way but for those whom live in the real world and know every penny counts take my advice and keep your investment, what's funny about "those with negative responses to my suggestion" is here you are on a site that's main goal is to develop solutions for software issues not provided by your carrier and freedom of use and the right to use what you pay for on all devices posted here ( Will Void Your Warranty threw your Provider for Using!) has something to say about it.

I love the site and would never have anything bad to say about it, I believe all of the dev's and site staff have a good thing going here and hopefully everyone can learn from all of it as you should, people need to take a bigger step and learn how to do for them selves and others instead of just being sheep and this site supports that.
[myTouch 4G General] Phateless:
Do the rice thing with the phone as disassembled as you can, about an inch of rice, the bag full of air and sealed, shake it good (to make the air inside really really dry) and leave it for 48 hours.

That revived my Samsung Blast from completely dead, couldn't even get the charge light to come on.
[myTouch 4G General] dubie76:
Thanks for the recommendation but there was no hope for it. It was swimming for 45 minutes at least. Plus I called for replacement right when I found out. I want a fully functioning phone, not one brought back from dearh.....LOL
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
I hear you there, you know some where down the line it will just give you problems anyways and my phone is everything as far as work goes and knowing where I need to be every day matters when your a tech.

I don't mind taking a risk when the over all out come means I benefit more down the line and being able to fix my own equipment means I make more money later so making sure everything I have works properly is key not only for myself but also my customers.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zot24:
First of all sorry about my english

I have SGS GT I9000 i got the error "System UIDs Inconsistent" so i started to read on internet and try to fixit by my own but i cant solved it, the problem is i have internal sdcard with 6GB fat32 and 2GB rfs (fat32 + journal) and this 2GB have a corrupts blocks, the internal sdcard it's ok i dont recive I/O errors or something like that, so i try to fixit following this steps:

i redirect the internal sdcard to the usb port so on my mac i use the disk utility to fix this blocks, i repair the disk and make new partitions and everythings looks right but when i restart the phone all be like i dont do anythings :S

i give privileges 777 to /dev/block/mmcblok0

echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c-usbgadget/gadget/lun1/file

repair the disk and make partitions on "macosx disk utility"

I installed diferents roms like JVK JVO or CM7 with CM7 the phone works fine because this rom dont use rfs so dont read the 2GB with problems, but the problem became when i restart with this room the /data partition is mount over mmcblk0p1 => 6GB and when i restart the phone all the data will overwrite with my old data so CM7 launch again the start assistent and lost my wifi confg, etc...

I trie to use diferrents .pit files 512 513 812 but this doesnot work.

Maybe i can redirect /data to /system/data over CM7 but how can i made this change permanet?

What's the problem? maybe is the sdcard on readonly mode? i dont have priveliges? i cant work over rfs file system without their special tools?

Thanks to everyone...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmarius:
I have the same problem. did you look inside /dev/block/ ?

A normal phone has mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p2.

Mine has only mmcblk0 and partition table looks broken.

Probably the internal storage is broken, this covers /data and /sdcard.

On froyo i was able to tweak /system/etc/vold.fstab to mount /sdcard from external sd, but no luck with mounting /data from external sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordscipio:
im sure you already found the solution to the problem, or perhaps you reinstalled fresh, but I just ran into the problem myself and was able to fix it by going into cwm and restoring permissions under the advanced tab. hope this helps anyone who has this same issue, it took me a while to find a solution
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edebeton:
Hey there...!

Fixing permissions by CWM does´nt solve the problem in my case...! Ext-SD ist stil r/o and not r/w as it should be. Flashing different Fw´s, CWM´s etc. all about useless to get the UID´s persistant again. Any idea what i can try to do next...?

Please helpme :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
you dont use update.zip to flash roms, you use 'install zip from sd card' then 'choose zip from sd card' then you can browse to teh zip and select it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] styles.styles:
it worked. simply restarted my phone :) thank you.

and if i want to install a new android version, do i have to delete the old one or simply install from sd card and it will be overwritten?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Depends,sometimes that works sometimes not.

For me, I enter cwm, choose backup restore,and take a full backup, then wipe data (still in cwm) then advanced - wipe dalvik cache, then flash the rom, then let the rom start as far as the "touch to begin" screen and reboot into cwm, backup restore, advanced restore, and selectively restore the sd-ext and data partitions only,, that way your apps and data (contacts,calendar, app settings, wifi pass etc) get restored into the new rom.

If you just flash over the top, quite often it wont boot. Sometimes works, so after the backup I will often try flash ott, and wipe only if it fails.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
What all speed are you guys connected at? Apparently it's supposed to be a Wireless-N capable chip in the TF, correct?

I am only achieving a link speed of 72Mbps. But it feels much much slower when transferring large files... or, is it my imagination?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] david279:
It only has 2.4 ghz N not 5 ghz N. 5 ghz N goes up to 300 mbps, 2.4 tops out at 130 mbps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
Thanks. Then I am still not achieving that speed (130mbps). I'm only getting 72. Wonder what is up with that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] finalhit:
same here @72. i check to make sure i my router set only to N (i understand having it set to G/N will cause the speed to get capped even lower, but nope, it's pure n)

I don't need a signature.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] turbulent28:
someone correct me if im wrong, but my understanding is that all devices in your network need to be "N" capable in order to achieve close to maximum speeds. If you have a laptop running on g' then by default your network run on g speeds.

Not sure if this might be the case here
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
I know my Linksys can transmit two different wireless signals. One signal is on "B/G" mode and the other signal is on pure "N" mode. Still it only connects at 72MBPS
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
The transformer and Android devices in general seem to be a bit slow in transferring large files. It might be do to smaller packet sized, inefficiencies in the Wifi stack, filesystem, or other factors. I think any reasonable rate of Wifi link speed is going to suffice. I do not detect much of a difference in actually throughput as I move through the house and the Link speed changes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marinierb:
Yup. 72Mbps here too on a Linksys e2000 running dd-wrt. Same on my HTC Desire.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
Ok, who wants to start the class action lawsuit for false advertising? :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
I think you should get started on looking at lawyers. We will be right behind you. :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] knoxploration:
Interesting that others are getting 72Mbps. I can't get more than 65Mbps, regardless of whether my network is configured for BGN or N only. That's with the tablet as close as two feet from the router, and no other networks visible (low density residential area, so likely not too much interference). Tried standard (20Mhz) and wide (40Mhz) channels, as well. Signal strength shows as excellent, but nothing gets me above 65Mbps.

That said, speed seems fine to me. Range could be better, my laptop will happily pick up wifi for almost double the distance of my Transformer, but inside the house it works pretty reasonably anywhere on either floor.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
How is it false advertising? They said Wireless N, it supports wireless N. They never said it supports wireless N @ 300mbps ;).

EDIT: And before anyone tries to argue, no, Wireless N connection classification just says up to 300mbps supported, not that it has to be 300mbps, it's a frequency not a speed classification.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dazz87:
Max speed is 65 . 6 FEET away from my dlink dir 655
[Eee Pad Transformer General] usafle:
Just having a bit of fun..... breathe... breathe... :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
Sadley yes, the transformer is only able to achieve 72Mbps wireless N speeds

In a previous thread i started (Here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1068468)

In short Wireless N gets its major speed increase from using multiple channels (MIMO) and the increase in bandwidth between channels 20 Mhz or 40 Mhz

There is no difference in speeds between 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, 5Ghz is ideal due to the least amount of interference in that RF spectrum but the downside is that 5Ghz does not go as far as 2.4Ghz

Anyways

Here is a chart for reference

Wireless N Link speeds are usually organized by the MCS Index number in FCC documents, and in the FCC documents for the Transformer it maxed at MCS7 index which is 72.2 Mbps (20mhz channel width, 1 MIMO stream)

MCS Index Chart

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_N#Data_rates

FCC Reports: See SAR Report 1 of 4

https://apps.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/repo...ame=N&application_id=434077&fcc_id='MSQTF101'

We wont know for sure what a firmware update might fix, which i doubt that is a solution for it anyway, i think its a hardware limitation, but just need to confirm the WLAN chip on the transformer

The FCC documents state its a Murata LBEH19UQJC, but in the various files in the transformer it has clues to suspect its a Broadcom chip, we need a full teardown!! :)

Overall, the transformer could have seen higher speeds if

A: It allowed a 40 Mhz Channel instead of 20 Mhz

B: It included a 2nd antenna
[Eee Pad Transformer General] *Phi*:
For some routers like my dlink dir-655 you need to configure to wpa2 and aes and auto channel to get 300mb/s connections.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Sitting within a few feet of my router (Linksys E2000, 802.11n), I am geting 9000 Kbps down and 2000 Kbps up. We're on Comcast Blast!(16000/2000).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Jarbings:
Speed means battery drain, so most mobile devices support 802.11n and doing a big step forward in speed,but the standard it self allows 600 MBits in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Most mobile devices suppport only low MCS rates that max out in 72.2 MBits. Did you see an 600 MBit capable AP /router lately?

It is great to have 11n but even the ipad supports only one stream and 72 MBit. Even Cisco delivers in their enterprise gear only 300 MBits not 450 like some others. So be happy with the speed it got, i am sure that the CPU would not be able to handle more than that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] peyman_2002:
wow mind bugling speeds! are being talked about here. I am lucky if I get 10 Mbps with my connection lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gary13579:
As previously said, not supporting the double width 40mhz will limit the device to 72 mbps exactly. anyone who gets slower than that is either due to a slow/buggy router, network being used by something else, etc. the router itself can even stop using double width randomly if it detects another AP nearby.

Upgrade to a wireless n router... it's well worth it! I can easily stream 720p/1080p over my wireless network.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AstroTrain:
Sorry to bump this old thread but my TF seems to be stuck at G speeds, 54mps, I am using a WRT320N running Tomato. My other N devices are running at 72 or higher. When I switch the router option to run at only N, the TF fails to connect.

Why? Is there an option I don't know about on the TF that caps it at G speed?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
Better then starting a new thread

Is the WRT320N set to 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz radio, that might be the problem

Also what channel are you running it on

The Transformer only works on 2.4Ghz

Haven't used Tomato in a while, mostly a DD-WRT guy
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AstroTrain:
Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am running on 2.4ghz and the channel is on auto.

What particular channels should be best for the TF at > than 54 speeds?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SlimDan22:
Channels shouldnt really matter, was just wondering because some people set there channels past 11 which are EURO channels which the U.S. TF doenst support

So you cant connect to the router at all? It only drops when you make it N only right?

Its up to you but you cat try DD-WRT if you want, might be a tomato issue dont know if you prefer Tomato or not

Can you possibly take a screenshot of the wireless configuration page on your router (Blank out MAC Addresses and other info as needed)
