[Samsung Infuse 4G] DCRocks:
A friend is looking to get this phone, and asked me about tethering

I have been rooting for a while, so I know the basics, but as I have an EVO & Epic, I haven't paid much attention to this model

I saw the threads showing it has been rooted.

Can I simply direct him to root the device with the one click, and use the Wifi Tethering apk?

Or does it also need a kernel that supports tethering

Basically, I want to make sure he can enable the tethering via root, before I advise him on the purchase

...and yes, I do know that AT&T are cracking down on the tethering ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoofadoo:
not another tethering thread.... search before you post.... Once you root, you can tether, by freezing the TetheringManager.apk... Then your good to use the built in Moble AP... or you can use something like Wireless tether for root users
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DCRocks:
Thanks, I was actually still searching after I posted, as the first couple tethering threads didn't seem to know, but I did find the answer in this thread:

I've just rooted with CF-Root 3.6 (Stock Kernel -- For now).

I have also purchased ADWLauncher EX and I am very happy with it, I want to know now if I can "remove" (by renaming TWLauncher.apk to TWLauncher.bak) it with Root Explorer, or will it cause complications with the overall functionally (like, maybe apps may not longer be detected -- who knows, wanna make sure).

Also, what Kernels / ROMs (I dunno the difference) can be used with CF-Root v3.6
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaukassus:
If you installed another launcher first, then its totally safe to remove touchwhizz

I removed it along with all the samsung bloatware, and never had any problems.

Thanks mate, I have also installed the 1.504 GHz overclock :D I will now remove it by renaming it to TWLauncher.bak

Just have a question about creating your own bootanimations from scratch. If you do not want to use a video clip, but want to create entirely from scratch, is the only way to create each png file manually, slowly defining the animation through that?

Thanks

[Android Themes] thadroidz:
yes I would think it's a frame by frame manual process..

With flashing text or similar it's actually not to hard, but the more details you have (like stick figure jumping and running etc)the more images needed to be created.

a flashing neon sign could be 4 simple images of the same text but just 4 different colors.

[Thunderbolt General] justinc101011:
So I was just wondering for those of you who have used Das GB how is it compared to Das 1.7 (Froyo)? Is battery life any better? What about signal? Currently I have 0 random reboots on 1.7 but the 3G signal constantly drops to 0 bars then back up to 5. Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] BennyJr:
Well the GB radio we have is just a leak and is very alpha. So it wont be as good as a froyo radio
[Thunderbolt General] flyodd:
I personally don't see much difference. I am running GB now and I like the sense 3.0 features enough to keep it but there is more modding/theming for 1.7 which if you are into that type stuff stick there.
[Thunderbolt General] mpwt51:
It all has to do with your wants. Both Das BAMF versions are fantastic, but GB can run netflix, has lots of visual enhancements from Sense 3.0, ans has most of the GB behind the scenes improvements. The radio for GB i have no complaints about and I live and work in 4G areas. I personally love Sense 3.0 GB and am NOT going back to Froyo.
[Thunderbolt General] ncobs:
Here Here! Loving the netflix and cool sense 3 stuff.
[Thunderbolt General] SF Bolt:
I have been running Sense 3.0 preview 2 for the last couple days, love it. Prior I was running DAS BAMF 2.0-5REMIX as my daily driver loved it!!!
[Thunderbolt General] blazednova:
for me the difference between both versions of Bamf is that with gingerbread; i get gps locks almost instantly, and much better battery life (about double what i could get on froyo), i also get a more consistent 4g signal and overall smoother feel in the UI

*side note when gingerbread is mixed with sense3.0 it becomes more addictive than any street drug known to man.
[Thunderbolt General] Icey34:
For me atleast, kernels affect my battery a lot more than the actual rom.

Hi all

Any non us and english users having problems with buying MS Points? Thats all users that have to use a non native live account to access marketplace.

If you dont know what im talking of, MS yesterday added a marketplace button in the xbox live extra app that gives you the possibility to buy stuff for your avatar.

I get a invalid credit card. Stuck and dont know what to do :'(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blindpet:
I have the same problem fellow Telia user. I thought I could buy games using Microsoft points so I went on to a website and bought them and everything. You can't yet, but Microsoft recently added paypal to xbox 360 so hopefully it'll come to our phones as well cause I'm tired of not being able to buy anything lol.

My live account is locked to UK but my credit card is in DK so I have the problem with not being able to add my credit card to my account. I'm sure they'll fix it cause there are tons of complaints all over the internet and it's costing them revenue.

[HTC EVO 3D] bobdude5:
Sprint and target are offering 150 for used evo 4g, which isn't really a bad deal if you're evo is bad condition, but if yours is in good condition you can easily get 200, probably 250, and a slight chance at 300 if you post at the right time and include the right stuff.

Now there's also radioahack who is offering a whopping 100 for your evo. Like I said above if yours is in good condition go with Craig's or eBay, if not go with target or sprint. $100 ? Really radio shack?

Last of all is best buy. I'm not quite sure about there buy back program but its probably similar

Edit: wirefly is also sellin it right now for 179.99, but according to user RDCRDS, they ill jack I up to 300 if you switch the phone to another line. So for those upgrading your mom/brother/daughters lines, don't go through wirefly.

If you decide to sell your Evo through inline services, I highly recommend starting with craigslist. There are no fees or taxes, but the buyers are usually cheap compared to eBay buyers. With eBay you get a larger customer base and your item will sell for more, BUT and this a big but, sir mix-a-lots type of butt, eBay and PayPal combined, charge an arm and leg for their services. Those fees can be paid back with in 30 days so you can take them out of ur next paycheck to make your self feel better.

Heres a link to an eBay and PayPal fee calculator. If your start your item at 100 and it sells for 270 plus 10 shipping and handling, your total fees will be about 35 bucks

Once you sell, I recommend buying from sprint if the instant rebate service they're offering is still available at the time of launch. The tax charged on these phones is based on the full retail price and sprint usually has the cheapest out of all of the others.

I personally will be buying fromnbest buy because I put 50 bucks down on may 5th to pre order mine through that "secret pre order" thing they were doing.

So where are you guys going to buy from?
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
We are lucky they even offer to buy back our phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
I think this is a pointless thread and is really irrelevant based upon the title. Ill humor you though. ATM im going with Best Buy but if sprint expands their new activation credit from another carrier thing that gives you $125 off the phone then it will be Sprint and the Sprint store I am near is not doing Pre-orders.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Much better thread then the another released date one.

So what you are saying is if Best Buy sells the phone for an extra $100 then everyone else, say $599, that is the price I will be paying tax on? Do you have to pay the tax on the full price of the device anywhere you go? If that is the case, I wish I didn't put $50 down at BB because that just seems wrong!

Can someone confirm this is how it works....
[HTC EVO 3D] toxicfumes22:
Its to what YOU pay. Lets say sprint is the only one that gave an instant rebate and all other places you have to mail it in. $200-50=150*1.07(for 7%)=$160.50 vs 200*1.07=214-50=164. OK so the difference is 164-160.5=$3.50. So it costs you

roughly a gallon of gas. Nothing to fret about. Also Best Buy has reward zone stuff and well the people that work there usually aren't as dumb as the people that work in a sprint store.

Also in reference to your $100 more that would cost you $7 in tax. Basically take the difference and multiply it by your tax. add the 1 in front of the decimal to add the tax or add a 0 to find out how much the tax is.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I understand the math but thought I would be paying the tax on $200 and not on $600 from Best Buy. So it is actually $400 more then I ws expecting to pay tax on and we are about .0875% here. If you trade in your device, do they give you the tax for it like when you trade in a car?
[HTC EVO 3D] bobdude5:
when I preordered mine at best buy the guy who rang me up told me that the gift card is refundable. I'm pretty sure bsed on past experience that best buy is going to charge 599 for full retal and sprint is going to charge 499. So pretty much you're looking at a 10 dollar dfference if the tax rate in your area is 10%! 50-60 dollars.

Wow that's pretty much the 50 down payment

[HTC EVO 3D] adyingbreed771:
im gona get mine at best buy because in oregon i can get a real deal. probobly around 250 with my 2 year upgrade in september
[HTC EVO 3D] yayyay:
I already purchased two from wirefly. 179.99 no tax, free shipping and 50 bucks off when used with my BofA add it up. I might have to wait a few extra days after launch but I am patient. So out the door 129.99. This is of course upgrade price.
[HTC EVO 3D] donatom3:
I went in to Sprint to preorder mine today. This is a corporate store and I asked about the mail in rebate, he told me they are going to be using mail in rebates again with the EVO 3D. He may not have been right, but I do remember when Sprint stopped mail in rebates they said it would be temporary.
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
I have read elsewhere on here that Best Buy charged people tax on the total cost of the phone. I have no reason to disbelieve these people but that was not my experience. When I purchased my evo from BB last year, I was only charged tax on what I actually paid for the phone. I'm not complaining but I do wonder why this is not uniform all over.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
It depends on the state. From what I've read, that's how it works in California. Stores don't get to decide how they charge sales tax on items people buy...state/local government does that for them and they just pass it along to us ;).
[HTC EVO 3D] robnelle:
Makes sense. I learned something new today! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] firmbiz94:
Is it true that if you purchase at Sprint store you don't get charged activation and upgrade fees..I might of heard that about Telesales
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
That's only if you order online I think. I recently upgraded one of my lines and had to pay the $18 'upgrade fee'. I tried a couple times to get them to credit it back since I've never had to pay an activation fee because of my work discount, but they just told me their policies changed and it was a 'valid' fee lol. They said the only time it was not charged was online orders only. I can activate/switch as many phones as I want using the online activation thing and not get charged...but having the guy at the store punch in a few numbers costs me $18.
[HTC EVO 3D] Androidfreakz:
Just Bought mine from WireFly moments ago, $179.99 Free Shipping.
[HTC EVO 3D] rdcrds:
Wirefly is ok but if you have a problem with the phone it is 100% harder to get it fixed replaced because they do not have local stores.

For 20$ more ill go with best buy.Plus if in 5 months if you take the phone off that line they can hit you up for 300$

I got 1 evo from them and had a lot of problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikey123:
i've heard/read nothing but bad things about wirefly. i wouldn't know personally b/c i've never used them. is there a perk to preorder with best buy over preordering with local sprint store? seems like i will pay tax/upgrade fee in both places.
[HTC EVO 3D] bl8zeone360:
I just switched to to sprint. I had the Nexus S 4G but i had reception issues, so I went and got the EVO. I'm gonna return that when the EVO 3D comes out atBest Buy.

Just play that file using Music and while playing press the menu button and click select as ringtone.

And one more thing, Just create a folder on SD card naming it "ringtone" and put all ur ringtone files in that. Files available in this folder will be shown as ringtone option.

Yesterday I updated from rooted stock Froyo + Netarchy kernel, to the rooted stock 4.22.651.2 Gingerbread + radios + patched stock kernel for WiFi n.

There are some things I like in the new ROM, but now, not only am I back to the phone getting hot in my pocket, and finding it in the yellow zone after a few hours, but when I look at battery usage, it says that Display has been taking 36%.

I've done nothing but a speed-test today with the phone. The display has been off for all but maybe 5 minutes.

I guess that Netarchy kernel with was helping quite a lot.

I'm anxiously awaiting a GB-compatible version.

Is anybody else seeing way more Display power consumption with this ROM?
