The throttling is incremental and automated. Being that you probably are in a good enough area that your 3G speeds are GREAT. Then your 2G speeds and/or THROTTLED speeds are GREAT as well or just GOOD. Alot of people are in areas where there 3G speeds are poor and im talking less then 1Mbps down. So their 2G speeds and/or THROTTLED speeds are extreamly poor.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Lol subzerold you've got me beat....now I have an incentive.....to beat you ;-)
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Did any of of you who didn't get throttled switch roms while you had unthrottled data and afterwards still became unthrottled?
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
Well that could very well have happened....I generally flash roms about once a week or two weeks and or wipe and reflash....I don't stop long enough to know for sure how I get by without getting throttled ....I tend to flash new themes and other stuff till I end up screwin something up then wipe and flash again....you might say im a flashaholic lol

[Vibrant General] duboi97:
So you did switch roms while being unthrottled? I'm wondering because I want to try CM7 and right now I'm also unthrottled and I'm scared if I switch roms I'll get throttled again.
[Vibrant General] Shortbus-Driver:
I never got throttled,I flashed several times durring the time I should have been throttled though and had no issues

My account doesn't even show the data used at all. Not through the website, the app, nothing. Had to dl 3g watchdog just to have an idea of the amount of data I'm using. I never use more than 2 or 3 gigs if that so I don't know about the throttling for me. Got a couple days left on my cycle, may just start tethering like a mofo to test out!
[Vibrant General] subzerold:
We are being throttled, its just not easily noticeable.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
I agree to this statement. With me I would average around 5-6 mbs and now I'm being throttled and I'm down to 1 mbs. Its either that or I was in a bad location but the "throttle" isn't as bad. I'm not sure if you were kidding with this statement, but I agree.
[Vibrant General] subzerold:
No not kidding. Normally I get 5-6Mbps. Throttled I get 3-4Mbps.
[Vibrant General] duboi97:
Yeah, I re tested and that's what I'm getting also, I think its better than before
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
I installed Gummycharge and tried gummytoolbox to get dlna but the wget says failed. I also downloaded an apk but it won't install. Anyone have suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
After you reinstall DLNA from the gummy toolbox you need to reboot the phone. Allshare will reappear then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jumpie:
Problem was I couldn't do that. I kept getting wget errors for fabdroid.com so that was a no go. I ended up getting the apk and installed that via the -i-nstall option in gummytoolbox.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pestilent:
Did you apply the toolbox update? There were a bunch of people getting wget errors initially, but Kejar fixed it with a patch.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] GTASouthPark:
Hi I've been trying to change individual icons for my apps in MIUI with no luck. Does anyone here know how to change the icons?

Or if the only way to do it is to make my own theme, does anyone know how to do that? I've tried to follow a guide on the MIUI forum with no luck. It was a really easy thread and just didn't work at all.

Have also tried to modify an already existing theme with no luck. (rename .mtz to .zip. unzip, change the icons they have in there, rezip, rename to .mtz, do import theme from theme manager).

This has been bugging me, so if anybody knows that would be amazing! Thank you!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ferhanmm:
There might be an easier way, but I'm pretty sure you can open each application apk with a zip tool(winrar) and pull out the image icon, then edit it and replace the original in the zip tool(overwrite). then push the apk back to your phone.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] cpom1:
This may be a dumb question; however, is it possible to install Roms and kernals from the Optimus 2x on the G2x and vice versa? I googled and someone said you could considering that the main difference between the phones are the radios where one supports 4g (not true 4g) and the other does not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks :o

Do NOT flash anything made for the O2X. Ever. Best case, it won't do anything. Worst case, your phone will brick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
I know we are waiting to see about the gorila glass thing, but I read on a forum that it had capacitive touch... I'm not sure what that means, can some one explain to me? Looking at the Toshiba screen+ thing I am inclined to think the Toshiba screen will be better... not saying that as a fact or anything...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kuobob:
gorilla glass is a glass developed by corning and is much stronger and scratch resistant than normal glass.

i'm not an expert, but I think that capacitive touchscreens uses electricity to sense a touch.

The transformer has both of those technologies, and I'm pretty sure that the Toshiba tablet also has a capacitive touchscreen, but not gorilla glass.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Digiguest:
There are THREE type of "Touchscreens"

1.) Laser grid ( example HP Touchsmart IQ series PC )

This type of touchscreen is actually NOT a touchscreen at all. It shoots out invisible lasers in a tight grid and see where the grid break when you put your finger on it.

2.) Resistive Touchscreens ( Example Nintendo DS and DSi and 3DS Series ) This touchscreen uses a type of pressure sensitive and very flimsy film to register and touch. This type of touchscreen is the cheapest option available and as a result are VERY crappy for gaming console and the like. However some WACOM devices use it perfectly for drawing and such.

3.) Capacitive Touchscreens ( example....Asus Transformer and most of all tablets these days ) This is the BEST type of touchscreen. With sensors that detect where you touch by measuring electricity from our bodies. This is the smart choice for all devices these days.

Hope that helps you out....and yes the TF has Gorilla Glass.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
thanks!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Itaintrite:
I also read in a review that the Thrive's LCD is nowhere as good as the Transformer's.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Thremix:
What review? I thought the tablet wasn't even out yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] down8:
Just a point of clarification on point 2....

Resistive screens are not bad at all. In fact, they have better accuracy, b/c they are meant to be used with a stylus (a slim point). Whereas capacitive screens expect fat fingers, which make them feel better when not using a stylus.

The very obvious benefit to capacitive screens have the glass up front, vs. the touch layer being up front on resistive screens.

-bZj
[Eee Pad Transformer General] transceiver:
Also, capacitive touch screens aren't very good with stylus input (handwriting) because your hand will trigger the input too. So you'll either have to hover your hand while writing or wear a glove, or pull your sleeve down over your hand.

[Android Software Development] Smurph82:
I have a simple app that I'm trying to develop. I have written Android apps for work but this would be the first app with root access, and it is not for work. Here is my onCreate code.

setContentView(R.layout.main);

/**
* Set up the spinner for the buffer size
*/
spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spKBSelect);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
this, R.array.KBs, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

txtCurVal = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtCurrentV);

try {
txtCurVal.setText(getString(R.string.cursetvalue) + " " + getCurrentValue() + " KB");
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

This code works fine. I get root access from Superuser. Now when I click the button in the following code it works. The only thing is that when I try to refresh my txtCurVal.setText() after the update I get the same value. I have checked and the update to the file did go through. So what I think is that the su process and/or commands dealing with the su have not finished when I read the value again. After searching online most people were saying that I needed to add a p.waitfor(); so that the terminal could finish. This is where the problems occurs it gets to the point and the app just stops. After a few second Android says that the app is non responsive and wants to force close. Here is the button click code.

public void onClick(View v) throws Exception {
switch (v.getId()) {
case R.id.btnAbout:
Toast.makeText(this, "Created by: Ben Murphy (Smurph82)\nCreated on: 2011_0618", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case R.id.btnSave:
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream osRes = new DataInputStream(p.getInputStream());
//backupFile(getString(R.string.rakpath));
os.writeBytes("busybox cp " + getString(R.string.rakpath) + " " + sdcard + "/.sdspeedshifter\n");
os.flush();
os.writeBytes("busybox mv -f " + sdcard + "/.sdspeedshifter/read_ahead_kb " + " " + sdcard + "/.sdspeedshifter/read_ahead_kb_bak\n");
os.flush();
//writeNewValue(spinner.getSelectedItem().toString(), getString(R.string.rakpath));
os.writeBytes("echo \"" + spinner.getSelectedItem().toString() + "\" > " + getString(R.string.rakpath) + "\n");
os.flush();
os.writeBytes("exit\n");
os.flush();
[B]p.waitFor();[/B]
txtCurVal.setText(getString(R.string.cursetvalue) + " " + getCurrentValue() + " KB");
break;

default:
break;
}
}

If I take the p.waitfor(); out everything runs but the value is not displayed correctly. This is just an app for me to learn how to use su access. As you can tell all this does is increase the value in the read_ahead_kb file that helps with sd card speed. Any help of advice would be great. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
I don't see "p" every declared, so there's no way to know, given what you've posted, whether it is in-scope for both "setContentView" and "onClick" so that may be why you're app is hanging, but I don't think this is the way to go about it. Running a bare "su" command in exec is going to spawn off a new command shell with root privileges, but without passing any arguments, the shell is just going to sit there assuming it is a login shell, waiting for the user to type commands.

Generally, if you need root level control over some resource, you just do it once for the time it is needed and then drop the privilege once the work is done. I typically write a small C code executable that does the privileged stuff, then call is as a command line argument for the su command with the "-c" argument:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su -c mycmd");

Now, mycmd runs, does what it needs to do, then exits returning full control to the app (no hang).

You need to use JNI or another toolchain to write command-line exe's for the device.

So I assume it is the "busybox mv..." and/or "busybox cp ..." commands that need root permissions? Just change them to:

"su -c 'busybox mv ...'"

[Epic 4G Themes] squshy 7:
UPDATE: Flashable stock status bar added to OP. Should revert you back to stock Gingerbread status bar.

If you're running a theme and you want the themed status bar back, you'll need to extract SystemUI.apk from /system/app in the theme's flashable .zip. Then, open up the .zip I just uploaded in 7zip, navigate to /system/app, delete the SystemUI.apk there, then drag and drop your theme's SystemUI.apk there. Then flash.
[Epic 4G Themes] Digitaltigre:
This works well for me on EF02. There's no lag to speak of. The red doesn't match anything on my phone right now and a gingerbread themed animation would be nice but I'm sure now that this information has been shared we will see this in many themes to come.
