[General Questions and Answers] joanelaine:
I bought a Telstra Smart touch phone, powered by Android. I bought the phone because I wanted to use wi/fi and connect via my modem/router and use the phone when I have turned off my computers and leave the modem on so as to access the wireless. I didn't want to use the phone for the internet outside of the house via the 3G network because I can't afford that. I was told by my ISP that I could use the gigs I pay for by connecting to my router but that was not the case, I was misinformed. I only wanted to do this in case I thought of something after turning off my computers and leave the router on to access wireless. This did happen & I was able to pick up the wireless signal but I only did it once, one web site and 2 emails were sent in 3 weeks because I was worried that I was getting charged. Then I got my bill, $90 for internet charges for the mobile phone. After many questions to Telstra finally spoke to someone who seemed to know that the charges were because Android updates the applications on the phone. I tried turning off the Internet part but then I couldn't even use the calender on the phone unless I put in my gmail account, is there any way I can use the phone without Android updating all the time and causing me to be charged. I put the phone back to factory settings hoping I could just use it for general things, text messages, phone, calendar, reminders etc.

thank you,

Joan.
[General Questions and Answers] LordManhattan:
Turn off background data and uncheck "Automatic update" in the market under your installed apps. Apps such as Gmail, Maps etc. Is set to update automaticly.

And go through the phone settings and uncheck things that includes "data" and "auto".

Oh, you also want to disable auto sync. (it's in settings)
[General Questions and Answers] joanelaine:
thank you very much for helping me.

Joan
[General Questions and Answers] joanelaine:
Sorry, I meant to ask ...if I do as you suggest will I be able to use the applications, such as the calendar, take photos etc., just like I can with my Samsung smart phone, but I don't have that enabled to the internet although it can be done but it's not wi/fi, thats why I bought this smart touch one and use it if I wanted to but only through my router wirelessly and it doesn't cost anything. I just want to be be able to send text messages including picture messages sometimes (I know the latter does cost). I could even use it as I first intended as a wi/fi phone at home, not through the 3G network though, through my router. I just don't want to have to pay for Android updates but would like to use the other features if they are available. I put the phone back to factory settings because I didn't think I could afford to use it but it's been bugging me so thought I would try again. I can't do anything with it though unless I enter my gmail account, so should I do that?.

Thank you very much for your time,

Joan.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsannes:
OK I just flashed ComRom 2.0 and i started noticing that My txt were not sending. So I did the *228 option 2 then they all send . Is this normal after flashing a new rom?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsannes:
Anyone Know why this might happen?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
I have no idea but I've had the same problem and found no causes... the only thing that fixes it for me is a reboot or a rewipe/reflash, problem with my fascinate is the txting stops working every week or so.. haven't found any perm. fixes or reasons why it does that

tapatalked from my Kangbanged Fascinate
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falcyn:
bsannes: Yes, that's normal, and it's always a good idea to do that after flashing a ROM. *228 option 2 (or *22891 to skip the prompt) updates your Preferred Roaming List, or PRL, which essentially tells your phone which towers it should connect to.

It's an even better idea to do *228 option 1 instead (or *22890 to skip the prompt) -- that programs the MDN, MIN and Home SIN as well as updating the PRL. You don't need to do option 2 if you do option 1, mind you, as it covers both.

Note that you won't always (or even most of the time) necessarily have problems if you don't perform the above after a ROM flash, but I can tell you from personal experience that if you dont/forget to there is a definite chance you'll have missing or disappearing texts or calls.

Anoninja: What you described is decidedly not normal -- if it were a programming issue I think texting should either work or not -- though I'd still suggest doing a *22890 and seeing if it fixes your problem.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
I've tried and nothing fixes it.. MMS will work fine at the same time though but SMS stops working, I've just come to the conclusion that I have a defective phone or I messed something up in my early days of rooting/flashing

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsannes:
Great thank you for the replies just wanted to make sure I didn't bork something up lol but the phone has been doing good since I *228.

You can just put a .nomedia file in the flders without media in them?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
I saw that if you put a folder in the root of your sd card and name it ".nomedia" without quotes but with the dot then put all the stuff that you don't need loaded asap like music and videos..... the system wont scan this folder until you go into the app that uses these files.... It worked for me...

Where is the file? I looked couldn't find it? And yes I've used metamorphose many times
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] duboi97:
It should be on your internal SD card
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rpolito73:
I personally prefer Splash of Color - its in the theme section. as fas as metamproh the mods are in a folder named trigger add ons - you choose which you want & morph it. Hope this helps.... Thank me if it does.

[HTC EVO 3D] Randy D:
Pre ordered best buy, cost $599 supposedly. So I called sprint to see if it would be availavble launch day and not worry bout selling out.for $499. Not 2 but 3 phone reps said dont buy it for a month or 2 till the kinks are worked out. I asked them to repeat and one said, without prompt "and 7 year olds and under might "puke" whem watching it". Being the phone geek I am ill buy it anyway. Kinks are half the fun. They had no idea bout 1080p locked bootloader on release... Call em and see...
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
Just got off the phone with Sprint. They confirmed that this phone is so badass that it will print money.
[HTC EVO 3D] Anonamoose:
Im going to take this with a grain of salt. Im sure there will be issuances anytime you have a device that's just out it has can have problems. I have faith given the OG Evo's track record that yes in a month theyll have an OTA update that addresses a lot ... still getting mine next friday .

THAT! My wife has a friend who just happens to work for Sprint. she got her hands on the phone, her own, today! I played with it. the 24th can not come soon enough.

say what you want I have no pics to prove it but I wasn't going to spend my 5 minutes with it taking pictures. I wanted hands on time. personally 3D isn't bad I think people are expecting too much, more than anything. 3d Photo's are awesome. and the 1.2 dual core, and 1GB Ram. what is waiting? hands down butter smooth and fast. So responsive the phone moves as fast as you do at times, and you end up in places you aren't aiming for. I'll take that ANY day!

Ah I'm in love. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!!! If you really take the 3D as an added feature, and take in everything in minus 3D it's everything you dreamed of. My wife wasn't as impressed 3D, but she also admitted she expected the 3D to be more "movie like". whatever. she thought everything else about it was great and she owns the shift.

Also I think sense 3.0 is sweet. granted I'm coming from a samsung moment so ANYTHING other than samsungs crap is better in my eyes, but think the lock screen features are great.

Not a review Just sayin' there is NO WAY I'm waiting a month.

alright now I need to get rid of my hard on.

And she's yelling at me for telling people about playing with her phone before she left the house. :D apparently I need to say bye and thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Itchiee:
Maybe they've been reading the reviews....
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Nothing. They are making money off the phone plans, insurance, $10 add on fee, and misc other fee's you see.

You are signing a 2 year contract. If you opt out early you have to pay anywhere from $50-$200. If they offer the phone at $199 and it cost $300 to make, they will have 23 months of making profit.
[HTC EVO 3D] issafram:

I highly doubt there will be any migration to sprint if the IPhone were to go there. Heck when it went to Verizon, there was not that big of a migration from AT&T to Verizon.

[HTC EVO 3D] juvenile43:
yeah so i been bugging the hell outta my radioshack where i got this thing pre-ordered i'm first on their list. so naturally i'm pissed off bout most the reviews so i figure i'd go in to see if they have a hands on they will show me. of course they didn't but the lady said soon she will. said she just took a test on it. The thing about kids under seven is true. it was on her test not the part bout puking lol but it said kids under seven shouldn't look at 3d screen. Ohh and just on a quick note if anyone don't know by now since sprint changed their **** that silver premier get an upgrade every 2 years you can call them and get them to reverse it. I bought my evo last july 1 at full upgrade and i am getting my 3d at full upgrade. just call sprint and ***** till you get your way even if you gotta go all the way to the cancellation department. works everytime. goodluck. and **** apple

My friend has a 2 year old, Ima show him a 3D movie haha. If he pukes ima have it recorded, haha.
[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Just so you know, you should have had a full upgrade anyway (at least one month out from one) because you upgraded before the silver/gold plan went into effect. You got grandfathered in to one more full upgrade at 12 months if you were added to the silver plan. Try it again in 12 months and see if it still works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ceger:
Well there were issues with early EVO's and for many customers it was a hassle switching to a broken phone with low inventory that required them to wait a couple of weeks to get a replacement. That probably left a bad taste in the reps' mouths and they would like to temper another potential situation.

However, as company spokesmen, they should be positive about it all, and I am sure this product is at the top of HTC's priority list. Then again, Thunderbolt had issues as well, but lots of that can be pointed at Verizon's network issues with LTE and the new and untested technology around it. Three phones into 4G is a lock at this point for HTC, and they are bringing 3D for the first time which I am sure went through vigorous R&D hell.

[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
Question please: don't wanna open NU thread...

BGR said the 3D screen didn't match the Sensations in terms of sharpness because of the 3D technology.

I'm assuming he meant that's when the 3D is turned on only....and that the 3D technology doesn't somehow 'spill over' to 2D displays.

Correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] zone23:
Most of the Sprint reps don't know what the the hell they are talking about so why would I listen to not 1 but 2 of them now? My daughter has a Nintendo 3DS and hasn't had any issues with it like some have reported. Its all I can do to wait another 5 days definitely not waiting a month.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeyrushlow:
In my experience w/ the LG Optimus 3D it can strain your eyes pretty quickly if you don't hold it JUST right, lol. It has to be the right angle and the right distance, otherwise you end up getting a blurry mess that will make your eyes hurt.

[HTC EVO 3D] ldominguez1986:
I don't think that you have to turn 3d on or off. The only time see 3d is when you are using an app or the camera that supports it. I don't think that there is a setting that you have to use to turn it off

I`m just curious as to what your provider`s plan is (preferably Canada). Im on Bell with 31 dollars a month (no data, 250 min, 250 text, caller ID, voicemail) and I got my phone for 250 ish with that plan. How about you guys, how much are you paying?

How did you get on that plan and get the phone for $250? I thought it was min $50 plan to get the phone for cheaper?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GDofWR420:
