I have unlimited now with an IP4 and also have my original IP2.

Should I follow the same process when I get the Samsung?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
No, you can continue to use unlimited data. That's the "official" way of having unlimited data. This is for people who never had it, like myself. I wish the iphones that are on ebay didn't cost $100+... It's a lot for something I'll use once.

i dont suppose resale value would drop considerably after a few moments of use?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I suppose not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rraquib:
none of these hokey pokey is necessary. Just go to an ATT store and have them change your data plan to 4g unlimited for $30. It is not an available option on the web.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
errr there is 4g unlimited?! are you sure? screen shot this please?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hydrogenman:
I called in and asked for this yesterday and I was told there's no such thing by several reps with AT&T cm service

it has to be an AT&T store? corporate only?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nickn850:
If you had unlimited before they switched to tiered, then yes you can have unlimited data. Its not an option for people who were late to the show and were on the tiered plan.

If you do the iphone 2g trick you can still get the unlimited. If a rep tells you they cant do it then its because they dont want to do it. I have yet to see a rep in my store DENY someone unlimited if they had it before hand (which is the same concept if you come in after doing the 2g trick.) If you never had unlimited then it only gives us the option for the 200mb, 2gb, 4gb, enterprise packages. If you had unlimited before or did the 2g trick then it automatically defaults to Unlimited when we do an upgrade or swap your phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bryanb86:
I work for at&t this is false.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bryanb86:
Also prepare to have a $36 activation fee on your bill if you do the 2g loop hole. You can callbto have waived but is risky because of dates of when you added this unlimited data verse what your data was before. I would just pay it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
It looks like it's impossible to get unlimited data with at&t without the 2g loop hole so I've been thinking....

break the contract with at&t for $350 (pretty much buying the phone...), change the service to t-mobile, get to have unlimited data, and when at&t finally merge with t-mobile, my unlimited data will get grandfathered and i get to have unlimited data with at&t.

what do you guys think? worth the $350 and the extra work?

cons would be paying the $350 penalty and have crappy coverage for a while....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fredexcav:
hole closed

unfortunately att is now switching people to a tiered "4g" plan, even if on unlimited, unless the 4g is purchased as an official upgrade. i only had my sim in my infuse for 1 hour. i purchased it outright to have an android and this is the text and email i got 2 hours later. i am grandfathered on unlimited data since my hermes 8525 in 2007
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fredexcav:
remember tmobiles "unlimited" is capped at 5 gigs, but still better then the 2 gigs for $25 of att
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
needs to be an iphone 2g. you can probably find them on ebay, just hope you find someone who doesn't know about the unlimited trick, people might know these phones are in demand for this reason.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
well no, limited bandwidth on 4g, unlimited on slower speed.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
tmobile 10$ unlimited data -first 200mb on 4g then unlimited on 2G Edge

Tmobile 20$ unlimited data -2gb on 4g then unlimited 2g Edge
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
That's a hell of a lot worse than what AT&T does...

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
Of course it' alot worse than att if you like paying more $$ on att!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] majakat:
I just did the iphone 2 method on one of my lines - if there was an iphone on it before, you need to firtst change it to a dumb phone, get rid of any data package, then use a fresh sim (I used one from a gophone) then go through the activation on itunes. To get the dumbphone into the system you need to call ATT and have them change the eimi(?) info about the phone - and remove the iphone data package.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
Edge data is basically unusable... And to sell it as "unlimited" when you only get 200 MB or 2 GB... At least AT&T is upfront about it.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
you talk like there' ATT 3G or 4G(hspa+) EVERYWHERE but it' not! i been to places where there is only ATT 2G edge available.

do the math for me, i use 2.1GB in a month, how much do i pay on ATT? and how much do i pay with 2.1GB on tmobile?

no, i dont have the 30$ unlimited plan, i average about 1.5GB a month, why pay 30$ when i can have 2gb for 25$
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
how is that a lot worse....att $25 for 2gb, tmo $20 for 2gb 4g AND edge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
I'm not saying it costs less.

I'm saying that people rail AT&T over having tiered data, when T-Mobile has the exact same thing, only they lie to you about it... or are at least blatantly deceptive.

Sent from my Infuse 4G
[Samsung Infuse 4G] netnerd:
how is Tmobile lying or deceptive? :confused:

Tmobile NEVER claims they offer UNLIMITED 4G data plan.

they just say UNLIMITED DATA! for 10$, after you used up 200mb on 4G speed, they lower your speed to 2G Edge for free. if you over 200mb on att, they charge you another 10$ !

for 20$, after you used up your 2GB on 4G speed, they lower the speed to 2G Edge, on att if you over 2gb, they charge you another 10$ !
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tjy8tim:
it's pretty clear...it's blatantly written on their website. only fools would over look them.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Hello all

I was wondering if someone had encountered an application that would facilitate signing documents on our tablets?

Ive tried printing to PDF or JPG and using something like Picsay pro to annotate the document but its a bit round about and picsay only saves a really low resolution image.

I was hoping there was something I could use that could allow me to open a document that may be in word, PDF etc. and sign it using a stylus or finger. I dont care if it has to be converted into a flat image as I am basically just emailing back a signed image anyway.

My current use is NDAs. I get sent them and am expected, print, sign, scan and return. If I could use my TF to do that then not only could I save trees but I could do this anywhere I got cell signal.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] cmscritic:
There's an app for that: Fill and Sign PDF's
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Only works with PDFs that have form fields apparently. Most of these are just going to blank documents that were scanned to PDF.

What I can do is either convert the file to a PDF or just an image and what i need is an image annotator that can handle large files. But currently everything scales it down to being useless.

Id love something that could do it in one fell swoop but I think that is asking too much. Just convert a word/pdf/etc to a flat file that can then be annotated and emailed back as an image/pdf.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
I use repligo pdf for document signing. Great app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Ive gotten close with just the office app but one issue I am having is I recorded a signature but whenever I make a transparent GIF or PNG it shows all wonky on the transformer, just solid black.

Is there a way to get transparent images to display properly?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
Give this a look. if you want to be able to sign on a PDF and have a crystal clear finished document.

at least watch the video.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cerience.reader.app&feature=search_result

worth the investment for business purposes.

By far IMO the best one i have tried.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ryan stewart:
Thanks, I think I finally got there with your suggestion, its not the most elegant in all cases but it works.

For straight PDFs I can open relpligo. When they come in as Word documents I went ahead and bought Adobe's PDF creator to convert them to PDF and then sign them in repligo. This works because this means, if they are in word, I can fill out any fields in Polaris, convert to PDF, sign and then send back without ever having to touch a full featured computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AzMean:
There is a free app called SIGNificant. You open a PDF document and you can set an area for the signature. HOwever, everytime you sign, you need a WiFi connection or the document won't be saved.
[General Questions and Answers] juno256:
Hello al! I was wondering if any of you have this problem....

Friends show offline after some time using Gtalk or when switching from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data

I have to sign out and sign in again...

Anyone else has this issue?
[General Questions and Answers] bastietm:
I have the same issue, and it's pretty annoying. Don't know how to fix it :(
[General Questions and Answers] juno256:
It's funny how there is no fix. Most probably its because many people use other chat clients.
[General Questions and Answers] abhiroopb:
I would think GTalk is quite popular. Anyway I have been having this same issue, and it's really annoying!
[General Questions and Answers] krige:
It seems the problem is present on multiple devices, so it's likely to be related to Google Talk itself. In order to maximize the efforts to find a solution it's better if we focus on one topic only. The following one seems to have the greater number of replies so far:

Google Talk issue - after a few minutes Contacts are all offline when not
[General Questions and Answers] Mendeleev:
Sorry to necro, but it's either that or starting a new thread on this.

I have this issue myself on my Galaxy Nexus GSM.

It happens very regularly, and regardless of ROM/kernel. I've had various configurations and this issue has never ceased. I hoped Jelly Bean would finally fix it, but it hasn't.

I have tried everything under the sun. Clearing data, cache, etc. - I can't work it out. It seems like a server issue, yet I never had this problem on my previous Android (2.1, Galaxy Spica) and my friend (Desire Z) never has this problem, nor does my girlfriend on her Galaxy Note (with the same Gtalk version)

It boggles the mind.

Every so often, everyone just shows as offline, when they're not.

This happens on 3G and WiFi and doesn't seem to be an issue with handoff either. Sometimes I can rectify it by signing out/in, or simply by sending a message... but other times, that doesn't make a difference either.

Why does this happen??

On top of all this, Google Talk seems to have a lot of issues recently with delivering messages on time - to the point that my friend won't get the message (or I won't get theirs), and messages often appear out of order.

Has Gtalk just gone down the pan? It's weird, because we never seem to have any issues when both parties use it in Gmail on the PC.
[HTC Sensation] toto99303:
Hi guys,

At first it was the sound issue. But today I got totally pissed off while charging my Sensation. Battery was very low when I started charging it with the original wall charger and cable. After a while I decided to check how's the charging going and when I pressed the unlock button the phone rebooted itself and wasn't able to load Android at all. Black screen, Led flashing orange, no response from power button or screen. Then I removed the battery and powered it up. No problem.

Plugged it in again on the charger and went to Battery in About section.

Status: Charging. I unplugged the cable for 5 seconds, then plugged it in again and guess what i saw in status: Discharging !!!! While plugged !!! WTF!!?? :confused::confused::eek:

Also forgot to mention that the phone get's very hot while charging.

Had two more reboots after this.....random...

I sent it for repair....I hope they give me a new set, because there's no exchange policy here in Bulgaria.

Anyone having issues with charging?
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
Mine does not reboot at all but I know what you're talking about when it will show "Discharging" after unplugging and replugging charger. No worries, just bugs in Sense. Go into Android's battery info and it will update itself to "Charging" status. Easy fix with OTA, I think. Does suck though that HTC would send out phones with so many bugs.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] androidx10:
Hello everyone,

I'm new android user! I'm delighted whit it on x10 mini pro. But I came across a few problems:

My first problem is with WiFi. I don't have wifi router, but I made my laptop to work as a virtual router for wifi, so other computers and mobile phones are free to join my network via WiFi.

However my X10mini is having hard time detecting my wifi network, and when it does it won't connect on it! It doesn't have that problem on real routers for wifi. (My second phone, Samsung jet, can connect to my wifi network without poblem). I have tried with "WiFi Finder" but the problem is same.

I should probably mention that bluetooth has the same problem. I can detect another phone but I can't make any transfer of data between the phones!

What should I do?

P.S. I bought the phone a few days ago and the android software version is 2.1
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DevilPaky:
for the problem with bluethooth try to see in the option, there is one abuot visibility, check it

use static in on phone it worked for me

while on wifi settings press manu key on phone

you will get advanced setting

then enter ip address

for me its 192.168.5.110

then getway

its ip address of your computers wifi , for me its 192.168.5.100

you can get its from right click on wifi connention on computer then status then details from detail you take computers ip for put at gateway in phone

then enter dns 1 and dns 2

you can take it from your internet connection on your pc like DSL right click on it then status then details

i was having same problem but this worked for me
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] gabbio:
Hi androidx10

Your WiFi problem could depend on the wifi network, stock firmware cannot connect to "ad hoc" networks.

Try to install apps like "wifi buddy" from the market, it can help you to scan networks and identify ad-hoc links.

For the bluetooth usually there are no problems sending files but receiveng them.

Try to install from the market apps like "bluetooth file transfer" or "astro bluetooth" to exchange files with other devices.

Good luck and enjoy your X10 :)

hello i just bought a sony ericsson xperia x10 mini pro (u20i firmware version: 2.1-update 1) last week and I can't use it because everytime I insert my sim and then surfing the internet it gives me extra charge even if I am connected to a wireless network. and when I check the remaining balance it's 0.00 :mad: data traffic is turned off. What should I do? :( I want to know what are the applications that gives me extra charge. Do I have to root my phone first to delete those applications? Please help me I dont know what to do.
[Samsung Mesmerize] coveyb:
ok, so i rooted my showcase from element mobile using SuperOneClick, worked, then i put CWM on my showcase using Odin and that worked. but when i tried putting VOODOO on my showcase i couldnt get the link in the thread to open so i went to the project-voodoo.org website and took their 5.5 Froyo off the top of the list and again used Odin and it said it worked. But now when i try to turn on my showcase it tells me it is an I9000 instead of an I500 and the bootlogo gets a half second in then freezes. i cant even get to the red recovery list, it gives me the stock blue one... i really dont want to buy a new phone so please anybody help?

Who is your cell phone provider.

[Samsung Mesmerize] coveyb:
Element Mobile
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Uh oh...

You may have just learned the hard lesson of flashing things not built for your phone/provider. I have never seen anyone with that provider on here so I doubt anyone has a restore for it. Don't give up yet but it's not looking good.
[Samsung Mesmerize] coveyb:
yeah, ive been looking everywhere for something to get me back to froyo or anywhere working for that matter but this is killin me right now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
These cell providers are going to have to start naming there phones something other than showcase. I've been looking on the web and all I can find is cell south and ntelos. Sorry, hopefully the more experienced guys on here can come up with something.

i wish i could just reset everything...
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Unfortunately without the stock files it will be almost impossible to "reset" the phone back to its original state. If you have a friend in your providers local office I would suggest cashing in a favor. There is still a possibility one of the XDA guru's may run across something so try and hang in there if ya can. One question. Is this prepaid or contract? When searching other forums there are some labeled prepaid and such and I personally have never heard of this provider.

i might be able to get one of the nice ladies in the office to put it back to stock for me.. and its a contract, when verison took over alltel my alltell store stayed alltell and then got bought out by a local tv,landline,and internet company and named the mobile portion Element Mobile, its like six months new..

If you have insurance you could always "lose" it and only have to pay the $100. Maybe not ethical but to each his own.

that was the plan till i forgot i didnt have insurance on it... i put insurance on all my phones but i have no idea why i didnt for this one. im wondering if i can get her to send me the stock files through email and tell her i know how to do all that so then the dev gods on here have them
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
If you did get the stock ROM and kernel files then that would work. Problem may be that those files are normally quite large so emailing them may not be possible. But that's deffinately an idea. I would first see if they will fix the phone for ya. Then if you can get the files that's just a bonus at that point.

only after the manager said even if i rooted it they would do what they could cuz he has three rooted phones and showed me one. he tried to look up stuff for me to do but he said the I500 is rare and there isnt much on Element mobile or the Showcase to help on fourms
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Do they not have techs? A tech should have the software to restore it back to stock.
[Samsung Mesmerize] coveyb:
idk they are brand new and not the best for service in the store quite yet but he didnt make it sound as thou they did
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Wow. Yeah I would say if the tech's don't even have recovery software you are screwed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] scarmon25:
Damn. Sounds like that's the case. Akellars right. At the very least the in store techs should have some sort of restore files. If they don't then that's not good. They may get them eventually but that doesn't help you now. Damn that sucks.
