[HTC Sensation] :
Since we're being childish for no apparent reason.... I am very much employed and i actually work in Android Support. Incase the merger goes through my department will be closed.. So i cashed out early.... I don't claim to know it all but i was explaining to you what and how the information was explained to me. I never said "YOU CANT TETHER".. I was warning you what they are currently updating our systems to do.. That's all, That's all, That's all sheesh.. However you personally feel is up to you and is of no concern to me. Now can we get back to being tax paying adults here? If not, good day!

im currently in Orlando international tehering my xoom via my sensation.... o well,! Lol
[HTC Sensation] RunNgun42:
Yeah sorry elvis I wasnt trying to loud you out, but I had a feeling you were just reciting the standard employee talking points. Tmobile doesnt want it getting out that they cant stop tethering. In fact no carrier does. ATT was the most aggressive against it randomly enrolling people into tethering plans without a shred of proof, and willing to terminate their contracts if they refused.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Hey Elvis - I hope the merger fails as a Tmo customer but I hope it does for you guys who would be left out too.

No need to be harsh guys. It's not like Elvis creates T-Mo policy.
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
Well, I am a very sad T-Mobile customer at the moment. Ever since I bought the MDA, I've had the REQ Total Internet ($19.99) and have been enjoying data with no threshold and free tethering. It also works that way on my HD2 (currently dual-booted as an HD7/Desire). So I ran out to Wal-Mart the other day and bought the Sensation. It seemed to be working just fine...until yesterday. T-Mobile began blocking all data connectivity from my Sensation. I put the SIM into my HD2 and, presto, it works again. Put it back into the Sensation...nothing. As a previous poster said, we were paying that $20 a month for lame EDGE forever. We stuck with T-Mobile even though Romania had 3G before us. When I called in and told the retention rep that they are attempting to force customers to upgrade to a more expensive plan that implements limits I currently don't have, I was told that this wasn't true and that my current data plan doesn't enable access to the correct servers, etc. Of course, I told her that it worked for 3 days and that I'm not that stupid. She then tried to tell me that my data is capped a 5gb; regardless of what I may think and that it is entirely possible that they "may catch my tethering" and require me to upgrade to the $15 tethering thing. What does a boy do these days?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Since it was me who put that earlier I'm curious what they made you do.

When I got my Total Internet it was back when it was $30 because it had the hotspot feature. That's a lie, we here at xda knew better & got the BB Internet for $20 until the Total Internet was dropped to $20. But yes, was on EDGE forever at $20/mo but didn't care because OMFG I had internet on my ****ing phone!!!
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
I refused to change, actually. I may just return the Sensation. It's better than DL DesireHD on my HD2, but not that much better. Actually, the more narrow form factor is causing my hand to cramp up.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
So you just hung up or what? I plan on calling tomorrow and demanding they unblock my imei

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
No, I didn't hang up. I just told the lady that I had to think about it. The problem is that none of the fools you'll get on the phone are going to be able to help you with unblocking data. Maybe Elvis can tell us something about this topic. I'm beginning to wonder, though. If they're willing to give me 5gb Android for $20 and I can use tethering until they block it, maybe I'm just gonna have to take it in the tail?

I dunno, I'm still really fond of my HD2. Why should I re-up my contract and buy a new phone when T-Mobile is squirting all kinds of weak sauce in my eye? I'm feeling really betrayed by them.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
that sucks. I'll update tomorrow after I call them. I'll try & get to pda/smartphone support & have them remove the flag.
[HTC Sensation] qcefer:
May i ask if you upgraded, or did you purchase your phone outright?
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
Upgraded. Getting ready to call T-Mobile for one last try.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
let us know how it goes
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
Throwing in the towel...

Alright, so here's what happened. I called and *****ed about them blocking the Sensation (and pretty much all newer Android phones) on the legacy data plans. The guy really couldn't explain why or do anything about it; as I previously mentioned would be the case. I did, however, manage to get both of my phones on a $20/month 5gb Android "preferred" plan; supposedly backwards compatible with my HD2 (HD7/Desire). T-Mobile insisted that the grandfathered "unlimited" plans were also 5gb plans in the system; regardless of them being called "unlimited". Lastly, the guy insisted that the tethering charge was really only for "supported tethering" and that no blocking of tethering actually occurs. He said that you get a pop-up but can disregard it; as he has been doing himself. I think this goes back to the whole "they can't really block 3rd party tethering apps" discussion. The deep packet inspection and certainty required to block tethering is really not as straight-forward as it sounds. I work at an ISP and we're one of those that toyed with traffic shaping and then backed down.

You know, I am really disgusted with the entire situation. I was happy with my plan, the MyFaves crap, etc. I think they would have made $10/month off of my resistance to change. In the end, I am concerned that they will eventually get rid of those $20/month 5gb preferred plans and I'm *really* going to have to pay $30/month for the same thing I have now. Uncharacteristically, I bent over and took it. You probably should too; before AT&T comes in and starts dictating plans, etc. T-Mobile, as frustrating as they are at times, is still the best wireless carrier. If you can find a way to be somewhat happy with them, it is likely to be a good thing.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
I guess I'll fold then & try to get the 5GB plan for $20 as well.

Yeah I've always thought even our old unlimited plans were throttled at 5GB, just it was never publicly talked about until they realized they can start charging more for it. I never hit the 5GB because I always used Opera Mini
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
It's not a sexy conclusion, but I think it's a smart one. People are paying $20 for 2gb. If we don't convert now, AT&T is going to find a way to make you do it and pay more in the process. By the way, if you are out of contract or close to the end of one, I'm pretty sure you can get a free month of service for swallowing your pride. ;-)
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
By the way, using OpenVPN, SSH Tunnel, or ConnectBot (also SSH Tunneling) would make it damn near impossible for them to determine the nature of your traffic.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
They tried to change it on me when I ordered my Sensation 4G. I happened to look at my plan shortly atfer making the purchase & noticed it had went from unlimited data to 2GB. Of course I flipped out and made the give me back the grandfathered plan & had them confirm that there is no caps on those data plans.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
does your data still work right now?
[HTC Sensation] Paul22000:
Where are you guys seeing $20 for 5 GB?

I see $20 for 2 GB.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Finally caved & called. Lady didn't even wait for me to say ok, was discussing the issue & automatically got a text saying my plan was changed.

Told the lady there was no reason for my plan to be changed. She said "yes because it has to do with the networking. I can't explain it because I don't work in networking, but that's the issue." --- Lady I work in networking. There is no reason for it to be switched.

Oh well, at least it's the $20 @ 5GB plan

RIP $20 Total Internet plan. You've served me well since the original MDA. :-(
[HTC Sensation] qcefer:
i think the only way around the new plans is to purchase your phones outright.

could you keep us updated with whether you are back on the unlimited data, or wait and see if they start capping it. or whether they are throttling you.
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
It's not advertised. You either have to ask for it or ***** your way into it.
[HTC Sensation] KillaHurtz:
Will do, my shipment was delayed & should have my device sometime tomorrow. They wanted to change the data plan on me but I flipped out on them :)
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
nope, even people buying it outright are getting their data cut off until they "upgrade"
[HTC Sensation] qcefer:
if this is the case , hello verizon. i do have a bargaining chip. 2 family plans , with all the lines out of contract. if they piss me off in any way i plan on getting with big red.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Big Red??? :D

[HTC Sensation] ptrik:
not trying to flame but if you work for t-mo then why is your youtube channel "SuperElvisfreshlyATT"?
[HTC Sensation] :
Simple answer....Because I left T-Mobile to work for AT&T inn August last year and hated it...This was about the end of last year...I went back, i left on good terms...So when I did Youtube initially i didnt want anyone to know who I was because I could possibly be fired for saying the wrong thing and not representing the company correctly...so I took on my AT&T persona as a joke and rolled with it.
[HTC Sensation] madwolf27:
I have a $25 "REQ ANDRD UNL Web" plan that I got forced into waaay back when I went from my BB to the Mytouch 3G. It has worked just fine with the MT3G, Cliq (ugh!!) Behold 2 (Mega UGHHH!), Mytouch slide, mytouch 4G and now Sensation (my family gets mad at me cause I use all their upgrades :)

My wife has a $25 "ANDRD UNL Web" which works fine with her Iphone 3GS (shudder!)

I'll be keeping these.
[HTC Sensation] thoroughbredautobrokers:
Soooo Frustrated...Rooted and still can't WiFi tether without $15 fees??

I can WiFi tether like crazy on my HD2. I just got a Sensation and turned on WiFi tether and it seens to work but my computer/laptop takes me to a Tmobile site where I have to pay $15 to do what i have been doing for years for free (same SIM and Account as my HD2)...Soooo I read a bunch of forums and...I rooted the Sensation and installed Barnical wifi App...still goes to the Tmo $15 site...can someone please help me work around this?Thanks so much..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
Going from an i4 to this is a nice change, but I am wondering if there is a reason for most of the well known apps being sh*t ? :/ eg facebook and ebay...

Or am I the only one who thinks this? :/

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] j4d:
Try 'Pocket Auctions for EBay' - it's a nice little ebay app
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jameslfc5:
Tried it thanks, still not even close to iOS, I think I may have to move back :/

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hollow.Droid:
Seriously? One or two apps (Btw I see no problem with the Facebook app) aren't as fancy and you're moving to a completely different platform? Seems a little fickle.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LPT:
I agree the ebay app is worse than the one on iOS but the facebook for android is not that bad. It's a lot faster than the one on iOS(which is worse and worse every update)..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Cetin:
But a lot of apps are still much better on iOS than android. I wonder why it is not possible on android...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] intruda119:
what problems are you having with the official ebay app? Or is it cosmetics? What doesnt it do for you?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zen123:
Agree with op that eBay app is definately worse than the iOS version but its just one fking app, get over it
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] vimto25:
Facebook app on android is terrible esp compared to ios same for ebay. Id happily pay for both apps if they were even close to the ios version, they do the job end of day which is nice to still have these.

As the tittle says, stay away from SE official FW updates OTA or through pc, it will brick your phone when you have unlocked your bootloader and modified your firmware.

As of now there's no fix that will bring your phone completely back. The fix will brake your radio and your phone functions wont work, sms, calls etc.

Blagus is working on a fix that also restores the radio (a full fix).

See links below for help and Blagus progress.

Made this thread cause I see more and more people bricking there phones after an update with unlocked bootloaders and modified firmware.

[Xperia Play Android Development] bongajushe:
Hi guys ill be getting a unlocked rogers play soon. My question is how would i know if the phone is rooted? Is there a way to find out? thank you.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Dousan:
Download terminal emu and open it an type:

su (hit enter) and if it comes back with this:

# it's rooted ;)

If not it might still be rooted but if superuser and busybox is not installed it won't work. If it's a used device and the previous owner rooted it those programs should be installed unless the that person reflashed the phone with a generic FW then it won't be rooted unless it was with a modded/rooted .img.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Android Development] thenotdone:
I recovered from a complete brick when I inadvertently did an OTA update with an unlocked and rooted rom. (Brick as in: when trying to power on the phone, it just vibrates.. if you continue to hold the power button it just vibrates randomly and it resembles the phone being dead, there is no activity at all)

Basically just flashed the bootloader relock then flashed the generic UK firmware. Took maybe 2 minutes and I was back in business.

Hi to everybody!

My name is Simon! I'm an Italian user! I follow you everyday to know your news about HTC HD MINI aka Photon!

I'm very happy to see some people spend a lot of time to create cab and tabs for my phone!

I've installed FACEBOOK tab on italian language too! with a good FB Icon!and i'm very happy of it!

However...:D

I want on my phone a RSS TAB.

I haven't CHT because my phone is too slow with it and i don't like it. Sense is too simple and intuitive XD.

I've seen that the RSS tab for HD MINI was created only for CHT and not for simple SENSE.

So I searched for a simple RSS TAB and i found it!

The problem is that when I install it on my phone, it's too big for it!!!

I mean the graphic is not adapted to HVGA resolution, infact i see a very big ICON of RSS FEED.

So I want to install a simple RSS TAB on my phone, without CHT and in Italian Language.

Can anyone help me to create a RSS FEED TAB with HVGA resolution and in Italian language?

I want to use RSS Feed tab for RSS news and insted of using FACEBOOK TAB too!

(i've seen that with RSS TAB i can set FACEBOOK to comment, like and see post and news, am i wrong???)

THANK U A LOT!!!!

[Samsung Mesmerize] wirtz88:
I am looking for feedback on a usb issue I have had on two mesmerize phones. For no reason my phone will start showing "USB Connected" in the notification, and the usb storage screen will start popping up. My first phone it would do this, but also would show it charging when not plugged in, and when you did actually plug it in to charge it would show it was, but wouldn't actually charge. The second phone is only a couple weeks old and has started the usb connected crap already. This phone charges properly and all, but randomly pops up the usb connected message. It doesn't always stay showing it either, it keeps popping on and off like it is being plugged in the unplugged rapidly.

Has anyone else had this problem or know someone that did? US Cellular sent the first one in on warranty with barely a question asked, but this second one is so random it didn't act up while I was there, so obviously they aren't going to replace it yet.

One more question to an experienced developer out there. Is it possible that this could be a software issue on the second phone? I ask because the usb port works perfectly when I need it, but it also thinks it's working with nothing plugged in. Thanks in advance for any help/comments.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
This is happening on stock? I haven't heard of this issue at all with any of our rom's, so you could be just very unlucky :(.
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
Do you close the little dust cover foe the usb port when you're not using it? Sounds like an intermittent short on the usb terminals, fooling the phone into thinking its connected. I'm super anal about closing the cover on mine as soon as I unplug it.

Hi

Right now I have Clockwork 2 point something or other. I feel like trying out a new ROM and now they are all saying to use Clockwork 3.

How would I go about upgrading it?

Thanks guys :D.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquido2:
Try installing "Rom Manager" from market. Then use it to flash latest clockwork recovery.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
or, alternatively you can do it manually, but ENG S-OFF is needed .... UPDATE CWM LINK
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Thanks guys. The ROM manager unfortunately only has 3.0.2.6 as the latest and its at 3.2 now so I just used CodeNameUnknown's method. Worked like a charm! Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquido2:
FYI for future reference, If you look at the last option in Rom manager at the bottom (all clockworkmod recoveries). You will see the older recovery options available to install ;)

Either way have fun :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaseDesire:
Why is there a version difference?

I thought that rom manager and cwm are from the same developer.

Is 3.2 beta and 3.0.2.6 stable?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquido2:
Oops ignore my reply I misdeeds your question.

Yeah I thought 3.2 was beta also ... Hmm if so I will stick with stable when flashing ROMs but that's my choice :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Im pretty sure 3.2 isnt beta. I read that ROM Manager just hasnt been updated with the latest version.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
Koush doesn't always compile the latest CWR's for all devices so it's more of an unofficial version, But beware if you install anything newer than 3.0.2.6 Rom Manager will report it as 3.0.2.6 as it doesn't register the unofficial clockwork versions although they will work fine.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garoto1973:
Ok, so I guess this question belongs more on the B&N forums but I also want to rant a little bit.

I bought my Nook Color mostly to hack it like everybody else on this forum. I am pretty happy with the results. However, I also took a liking to the B&N launcher and the whole ebook deal. So I would say I am using the Nook 50% to read ebooks/newspapers/magazines and the other 50% to do anything else.

Out of respect to B&N for giving us this fabulous toy at an affordable price I decided to buy my reading material from B&N and not amazon, plus newspapers and magazine REALLY SUCK at amazon (they are mostly abbreviated versions at full price).

My rant is that B&N is not moving fast enough at allowing international sales. I mean if amazon can do it I am pretty sure they can too. I want to give my money to them but they won't accept international customers. C'mon!!!!

So my Nook Color now sports a big amazon kindle icon on its B&N Home launcher and I now buying all my books without a hitch from amazon.

Does any one know if B&N is working towards allowing international sales?

Its ironic, in a world where you can pirate anything with a click of a button corporations and lawyers still make it difficult for us honest international buyers to buy stuff. If I have to pay more because I'm not in the US at least give us an option (I can buy the physical NY times in my country for $3 but at least the option is there).

On the same note I can understand why I cant buy music and movies because of copyrights but I cant understand why Doodlejump is not available for my country. I cant give the 2 bucks to the developer but then I can google the apk and get it for free. Who is really losing with all these protection schemes???:confused:
