Well......just spent an hour and a half, got disconnected twice, and then got the "Customer Service Center is CLOSED" message after the second disconnect.......I was trying to get an update on when the third party app sources would be released per their official confirmation back on May 17th......no one seemed to know anything about it......they had already released it to the INFUSE and to a few other phones, with the rest of the android phones to get the update within the next few weeks (some people have confirmed that they have received the update)......no one with AT&T Customer Service had any idea what I was talking about.....I had to explain in excruciating detail, what was supposed to be happening......they even got me on the phone with Motorola, and they knew what I was talking about, and said they were told the same thing, that AT&T would be releasing the hold......so AT&T was "trying" to get a higher level of Customer Service, when I was disconnected the first time......SO......got nowhere fast, and can't call back till tomorrow......VERY frustrating......if anyone has heard any update to this, please respond to this TOO long of a message......sorry guys......
[Atrix 4G General] REDFOCZ:
Customer service has no info on this, I know because I work for ATT customer care. I've looked and talked to our tech team and android team. We are not privy to that information.
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
your first mistake was thinking that AT&T CS knew the answer.
[Atrix 4G General] JoeJags:
Why would they not have info on this? This was BIG news from AT&T, and you would think that, at LEAST, they would have the info that THERE IS an update, even if they don't know WHEN......even the reps at the AT&T store near me, when I bought the Atrix a couple of weeks ago, were told that the update was expected any day......and that several of the phones were already updated, and were being sold already like that......such as the INFUSE, Aria, etc......just trying to understand why, with such a big deal, they wouldn't know ANYTHING......any ideas? And again, sorry......just frustrated after being disconnected twice and not getting anywhere......
[Atrix 4G General] JoeJags:
And I'm not bashing their customer service......normally I get very good service when I deal with them......just seems like this would have been addressed.....
[Atrix 4G General] kdoodle:
CSR is generally good, except a few jerks. If you get those, just hang up and dial again.

Since we're on the topic of AT&T, I wanted to point out something for people with AT&T who aren't on unlimited data

AT&T billing and this is Important for those of you with 2GB or 200MB data plans

If you use data the day before your billing cycle ends, there is a likelyhood that the amount of data that is on that day will roll over to the next day. It has to do with the way the system updates. It's not exactly in real time or so they say.

Your billing info will show data from that day on the next billing cycle.

I've gone through this problem about 7 times before I did the Unlimited loop hole.

So, at the end of every month, you should check your bill to see if they charged you data for usage you a day before your billing cycle.

Example:

Data shows March 22 usage on a a belling cycle that is from February 22 to March 21

+1 this made me laugh out loud
[Atrix 4G General] REDFOCZ:
Ill honest, half of the CSRs don't know their elbow from their assholes. But the few of us who do know understand the total lack of info that's provided to answer customer concerns. And the store reps are pulls their info out their ass since they only have access to what csr's over the phone have.

I have not heard any thing official, but the 2.3 beta/alpha that has been tested has it turned on by default, the buzz is that it will be released by the end of July

So that is what I would bet my $1 on, you will be able to use 3rd party app on July 31st.

[Atrix 4G General] Clienterror:
I actually loled at that.
[Atrix 4G General] biofilter69:
like 1 out of probably 10,000 calls might a customer actually ask that question. this is why att releases announcements online where people who know whats up with phones are and why att wouldn't feel the need to inform the cs reps of something that is like lighting striking the same place twice. if google doesn't know do you really think a cs rep will know?

[Omnia 7 General] Enigmativity:
Hi folks,

I've had a look on this site and on the web in general, but can't find anything that answers my question.

I have a Samsung Omnia 7 which now reports 4.39GB in reserved space. It seems to have gone from about 2GB when I first got the phone, it's varied slightly on a day-by-day basis, but seems to have had two occasions when it's jumped up by about 1GB each time to get to the current figure.

I figure that the reserved space is due to the apps I have installed. And it seems likely that a minority of the apps have chewed up a large amount of space (perhaps the 80/20 rule).

I've read that to reclaim this space I need to do a factory reset, but that sounds like overkill.

So, is there any way to determine what space each app is using so I can remove unused, wasteful apps?

Otherwise, if I do a factory reset, reconfigure the phone, and reinstall my apps, I'd really hate to find that memory has reduced, but then jumps up when I actually run my apps.

If I have to do the factory reset, is there a walk-through or best practice for doing so?

Cheers.

James.

Reserved Space

Hi

If you launch Zune software (assuming you have windows) you can adjust the space reserved;

Go to sync options

Reserved space ad adjust the slider to something more in line with what you need

Hope this helps;)
[Omnia 7 General] DAVIZINHO:
Hello,

I read in somewhere thant if you conect the phone in various pc`s with zune, this space reserved is increased :-(

I just purchased a mytouch 3g 3.5mm jack (unlocked) for my wife to use on our centennial/cellularone plan and cannot get past the registration to start using the phone - how can I get this phone working?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] roadrunnerrd3:
Ok so why can't you get past the registration? The google one? All you need to do i create a gmail account and it will let you use the phone!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
I have a google account already - my problem is I can't get data to work. I'm using the same settings that work fine on my lg incite (wm6.1) so I either need different settings or a way to skip registration.

I tried to use google sdk to turn on wifi but i am completely lost after install.

edit: @ roadrunnerrd3 - Sorry I posted in a hurry and did not give enough details - My bad!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
UPDATE:

Found out my settings are for WAP only not http and most android phones do not support WAP only internet. called my provider and added the android internet plan and put in settings as they gave them to me - no go. Phone DOES accept sim card and has full signal at my house but cannot connect to data. Because of this I cannot do the first google registration to be able to use the phone. I have tried twice to install the sdk to my laptop (vista) with no success so i cannot use the wifi fix. Is there any other way to do the registration or to bypass it. (4 corners will not work - tried for thirty minutes)

Are you sure itsays s-off in fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
Yes - found it odd.

I got the sdk running on my 8 year old linux desktop so I'm gonna try to activate wifi.

Every time i try to type in adb(anything) it says not found so I just tried "adb" says not found even though I can see it in nautilus file explorer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
Found how to make terminal open adb - just drag/drop in a terminal window - now my device will not connect to the pc.

Anybody have any ideas?

Can I install a rom that has wap or will let me register over wifi? Without being able to access the phone the first time?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
progress!!!!

OK I got the sdk installed on my vista laptop and htc sync installed also - how do I make adb recognize the phone so I can turn on wi-fi?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hotrodwinston:
solved

my carriers tech support team found out how to modify the standard settings to make it work - i would post the modified settings here but google pushed 2.2 froyo update to it via wifi and it lost the settings - but it works now:D
[General Questions and Answers] beafet:
I just found out the Incredible 2 is in my price range. From what I have been able to find, it has not been rooted yet, whereas the Fascinate has a great community. What would you do in my shoes. I will be purchasing in about a month -(I need a Verizon phone less than $100). This will be my first Android (going from Blackberry). I want it to be a good experience.

Assuming the DInc2 isn't rooted prior to my purchase, what should I get? What are the odds looking like for getting root, Gingerbread ota, or anything like that? I fully intend to have this phone for 2 years.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Tada1096:
i would go with the dinc2, but im a huge htc fan.
[General Questions and Answers] sageDieu:
I have a Mesmerize (fascinate on a different carrier) and I definitely recommend the fassy. The dev community is fantastic. We almost have a fully funtiinal gingerbread cyanogenmod which will be amazing, by the time you get the phone it will definitely be done. It is a phone that will stand up well against newer phones. The dinc is not bad, but as you noted, it hasn't even been rooted. There is no development at all. I've used both phones, and I say, if you want to make your phone awesome on your own, get the fascinate but if you want it to be good out of the box get the dinc.

[General Questions and Answers] beafet:
Hmm...one vote for each...
[General Questions and Answers] WBMc36:
if the inc2 is not rooted, i would go with the fascinate. If it is rooted, hands down i would pick the incredible 2 if you plan on rooting and romming it. I loved my original incredible and still use it even though i have moved on. It is a great device. IMO sense is a little better than touchwiz on the fascinate, but that is just me.
[General Questions and Answers] beafet:
Well it isn't rooted yet...so that's the question. I don't know if it ever will be rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] Freka:
I would go with the Incredible 2. The root is coming out soon and plus imo Sense is much better than Touchwiz.
[General Questions and Answers] monoloco86:
I'd get the incredible 2 in my opinion it has a better camera, more ram , better build quality the only thing fascinate has better is an amoled screen
[General Questions and Answers] bellerophon90:
I like both phones a lot, but I would have to give the edge to the Incredible 2. The only advantage I would take the Fascinate for would be the sALMOED screen. It is truely stunning. But the Incredible 2's screen is also great (any screen on an Android phone would be a giant improvement over a BB screen lets face it). Slightly better specs plus Sense is much better than Touch wiz.

Do not panic.

First measure; press the power button for long (>8 seconds) to compeletely shut down. Then press it again to power up; see what happens.

Second measure; shut down completely; then press power up AND voice control UP at the same time; see if boots into recovery.

Post results pls.

Also, your tabs version info would be useful for the helpers; if available.

Hello all I am in need of some help. I bought a droid charge off of Craigslist and while the phone works fine I have a problem. I didn't realize that the person had rooted the phone and he has deleted some programs and now I have force close issues constantly. He kept sd card so I have no backups before deletion and cannot contact him now. Is there and SBF file equivalent for the Droid charge or is there any way anyone knows that I can get back to factory settings and all the files? Also he flashed Voodoo recovery on it instead of clock work. I am more familiar with that can I flash clockwork over it? I am not sure if someone can like send me a backup from clockwork that I can use or something. Thank you for the help

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] el_brio:
This is re-posted from the general forum. It probably should be moved here to warn potential dock purchasers about this ongoing problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112835

Basically, the problem is that the dock's (all of them?) batteries deplete at around 5% per hour when attached to the tablet when in standby. The batteries even seem to deplete when docked to the tablet when the tablet is completely turned off. WiFi on or off doesn't seem to effect the drain very much. Just a bit of cautionary advice for potential dock owners.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] el_brio:
Another thread on the topic:

http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...eral-discussions/599-tf-dock-battery-log.html
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] alex5790:
Definitely not a deal breaker though. A lot of people are just disconnecting their docks after each use and the battery in the dock doesn't drain. Personally I just leave it connected all the time because I typically lose about 2-3% an hour which isn't a big deal to me. Hopefully this will be fixed in a future software update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] el_brio:
Some people have reported getting shorter run time with the doc. To me, that's a deal killer. Anyway, hopefully people will hold off buying the dock and Asus will be forced to address the issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Fixter:
I don't know about that, my dock has been connected on my Transformer for about 8 hours and it has been sitting there for most of the day 77%. I have use it during the day though. But I don't think 23% after 8 hours is a deal breaker AT ALL. Even less after I know that I have been using it during the day for short periods of time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] el_brio:
Your results are far better than mine. Do you have the battery widget installed that shows the dock and tablet charge separately? The stock battery app behaves strangely sometimes. Sometimes it will show a charge of 77% and then you will close it and open it back up in an hour and find you have lost 15%. Since you are one of the only ones whose dock seems to be working correctly, could you do a test for us?

1. Download the battery widget listed in the thread in the General forum.

2. Charge to 100%

3. Remove from charger the next day and leave the dock connected to the tab. Leave the tab in "sleep" mode

4. check the DOCK battery level after 8 hours

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Fixter:
I have the battery widget that it's available in the development section and so far it has been working great for me. I will do this and post back the results tomorrow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] el_brio:
If yours is losing <3% per hour while in standby, that isn't too bad. Here is another facet of the problem:

If you turn off the tablet (off... not suspend, tablet only). it loses very little charge when left for long periods of time. If you charge and detach the dock, the dock behaves the same way. If, however, you have the tablet connected to the dock and leave it turned off, you will leak about 1-2% per hour.

Check out the other thread if you get a chance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ryan stewart:
Overnight the dock dropped to 77% with the tablet in sleep mode and the tablet was at 99%.

I assumed this was the effect of waste from a trickle charge. Either way I definitely cant say the batter life is shorter with the dock. Its longer, how much I dont know but the girlfriend and i used it solid for a few hours flying with games and such and it didnt even make a dent in the batteries.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] magicpork:
didn't happen to me though.. it takes more than 24 hours for a fully my charged dock to drop its battery to 98%...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] bboi34:
My dock sat in the closet charged for 5 days because my tf didn't get here till after. When I plugged it in to the tf with the battery widget it had about 60%. I charged it from my friends charger, he didn't get a keyboard. I did the firmware update though. I personally like it. :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] el_brio:
The drain only occurs when the dock is connected to the tablet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apocalyptic0n3:
I rooted my EVO 4G about two months ago and flashed CyanogenMod. I decided to try MIUI, which resulted in an endless boot. I restored from my backup and all was fine. Tonight, I tried again. Same problem. So I tried doing what is explained here. Clockwork Recovery is now gone (which I assume was the point of that file) and I can no longer even boot into CM7 (it also endlessly reboots).

I figured I would just download a CWR zip file and flash it again. However, I cannot get my computer to access the SD Card when mounting it with the Recovery. I can buy a card reader if needed, but I have no other way of accessing the card.

Does anyone have any suggestions? The current recovery is unsuccessful when attempting to restore or do anything, really. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
You cannot restore backups made with CWM through Amon Ra, or vice versa. You need to get Clockwork back on your phone, or another rom to flash. I'm assuming you tried booting into recovery, plugging the phone into the computer, and selecting "USB-MS toggle" from the recovery menu? If so, and it still isn't recognized, best bet is to get a card reader. If you have a slot for an SD card on your computer, you'll just need a micro SD to SD adapter. If you don't have an SD card slot, you'll need that and a card reader.

Put the PC36IMG of Clockwork on the card and flash it, then restore -or- put a new rom on the card and flash that.

My guess is that your download was corrupted and you had a bad flash.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Or you can flash a "Real" recovery and push amon ra 2.3 via adb usb without needing your sdcard. Just start from scratch and get rid of those lame clockwork nandroids you own........after you push it via adb just wipe.

Only click that link if you feel worthy of amon ra!
