Cap prices? Wow. I have to remember that this forum is worldwide, so the tolerance for that kind of thing various greatly in various Countries. In mine, a price cap is "don't like the price? Don't buy it." Things are priced based on supply and demand. If the price isn't right there will be no customers and the developer will be forced to decide what to do. I see no reason to introduce an artificial force in the supply and demand equation. Mainstream consumers don't even know how to spell torrent so that is not a real concern. That is a very fringe element of the consumer base and not a concern for most developers.
[Android Apps and Games] jonny68:
I can see that certain apps have gone down drastically in price because no one was buying them at the price they were at,a lot of brilliant development has gone into designing some brilliant apps and there's no doubt those responsible deserve to be financially rewarded but at what cost to the consumer,there needs to be some sort of pricing structure for certain apps, some are sensibly priced but a lot are outrgeously priced,of course no one is holding a gun to your head to buy these apps but i just believe that too many apps are priced too high and as i said previously this encourages people to download torrents so in the long run they will lost out.

I have tried to play a little with the parameters in this file to try to improve a little the WiFI reception on a tablet that is the only device I own that can't connect to my WiFi from my kitchen. Until the moment, no changes seemed to have made any impact sans changing ccode to X2 to detect the APs in the 12-14 channels. pa0maxpwr seems to be absolutely ignored. Any ideas what can I be doing wrong?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madmalkav:
A little bump for this, have been looking at the issue for this days but haven't find any solution.
[General Questions and Answers] InfiniteStorm:
Hello, everyone.

Ok I'll explain the situation, then explain how it might of happened.

My phone will not turn on. It is stuck at the white at&t screen.

How It Happened:

I went out camping with family. We decided to go boating, No I didn't dunk the phone in lake water. I was listening to music on the boat, I noticed that an error message kept coming up. It said something along the lines of "com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly, please try again." I would get this message every other second. So I booted the phone into clockwork recovery, hoping to recover an old back up of my system. It didn't work, I got some other error message saying it couldn't recover. Being desperate, I was like, "I'll just flash a different ROM!" I tried flashing cognition. It said it installed correctly. I was stoked! I rebooted my phone. I noticed it still showed the cyanogenmod 7 boot animation, so of course it didn't flash the other ROM. I decided to reboot my phone again. This time instead of turning all the way on, it stopped at the cyanogenmod animation, then restarted. It looks as if, right before it would restart it looked like a "loading screen" in clockwork recovery. It rebooted continually for the next 10 minutes until I took the battery out. I then tried to recover the phone again. Then I rebooted my phone, but then it froze at the at&t white screen. I left it like that for around 20 minutes. As we were coming back to the dock, I decided that I had enough messing with it and turned it off.

Any ideas. Did I do what they call "Bricking" and if so, what can I do to fix it?

And if not what do you think I did?

Thanks for help. I am getting a new phone in 2 days.

Btw, I am running through AT&T, and I own a sumsung captivate.
[General Questions and Answers] DanBroChill:
Well, the phone does sound like it has a pretty solid issue, I would have assumed that the flashing would have fixed it. There are probably other things you can try to get it running, but honestly after everything you've done, I would just Odin the phone. There are plenty of posts in the dev forums about running Odin. You download it on PC, plug the phone into download mode, click the button in Odin and after a bit, bam you are back to stock 2.1 like it's right outta the box. Then the obvious, root/rom. Unless you are desperate to get data off the phone I would just use Odin.

Someone may have a better answer, but weird stuff like that, I don't bother with trial and error. Just make sure if you do go with the Odin route, follow instructions, or you definitely WILL brick the phone. If you need the link because you actually can't find it on the forums (sigh) then I can send it tomorrow, it's bookmarked on another PC. Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] InfiniteStorm:
No, I got Odin3. Thanks, I got it back to stock. I got my new Cappy today. I'm sending my old one to AT&T and all that. Thanks anyways.
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Well today was the first day back to work after receiving my EVO 3D. Of course everyone knows me and my thing for phones and they wanted to check it out. They wanted to see some YouTube videos they had been hearing about. Boy was that a joke, I couldn't even show this thing off! It won't even make it through a video without it stalling. I'm not sure what to do now, love the phone but with data that barely works, this smartphone is useless to me. I kept my EVO 4G just in case but I really want to be able to use the new phone, not sure what to do...wait on HTC or return. I really hope HTC does something fast!
[HTC EVO 3D] XxDjbluexX:
Oops didn't mean to thank you lol.

Anyway my connection is just fine...I can watch youtube videos on anywhere on 3g with no problem

Are you sure it isn't sprints overloaded network that isn't failing? Mine does fine.

Not having issues but YouTube does prompt you that WiFi will be the best connection since 3D videos use the most data. You can try this alternative.

I had the same problem. I was only gettung 25k dL speeds. I tried everything. even returned the phone for another, only to have the same problem. (at least my new one didnt have dirt trapped under the screen). I ran across a way to boost your download speeds by changing the proxy settings. Right after I did this mod it was a little better. Then I rebooted and now im getting consistant 1600k downloads in 3g.

[HTC EVO 3D] mike21pr:
I really hope this is a radio issue rather than the network since the Sensation suffers from a similar issue. Speedtest results are pathetic for me (70kbps average and some rare 250kbps... Hurray!!) and coming from TMobile with speeds over 6mbps its just sad. Hope HTC addresees this soon. Glad i have wifi at home

So I just got back from the Sprint store and they had signs up at the repair counter saying there was 3g problems. Kinda weird because the EVO 4G has no issues. Who knows, I'll wait it out longer and see if it improves, annoying though.

Help!!!! Stuck in hboot!! Can't get back to restore

Every time I try to hold the volume button down and press the power button, it keeps wanting to reinstall PG05IMG even though I have installed it. It wont load to the bootloader or anything but reboot which is locked at HTC. It IS something I tried to load but I normally can get back to restore my phone back to wherever I want to restore but I'm locked on HTC.

Is there any way to get past the HBOOT?? It just keeps going back to the PG05IMG (2.5)

I tried to load a blue package
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuwlness:
You'll want to remove your SD Card and throw it in another phone or card reader, then remove the PG05IMG.zip. You should be able to get back into Recovery from there.

Prepare to be flamed either way for not posting this in the proper forum.

Remove SD card and use either card reader or older phone and remove the pg05img file from it. Then you an get into recovery via hboot

You can take sdcard out, boot phone to hboot with battery in and plugged into charger. Once in hboot, remove battery, put in sdcard, put battery in, select recovery.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
Actually to Venezuela.

My job nominated me figuring I had a such a hi tech phone.

And that I could figure it out, And make it work.

I have to keep in contact and keep in touch with my contact in Venezuela via text messages.

Then I have to forward text messages to my boss.

It's a long complicated story.

Thanks to everyone I will explore these options.

Is Venezuela in that list?

Thank you in advance.

You can call T-Mobile and ask about Venezuela and they will tell you in a second if it is one of those countries that is in the unlimited messaging (I have unlimited domestic messaging ie... even more plus 500 min, unlimited text and data before the 2gb throttle btw)

I'm not sure if there is a way to do it exactly like that post, but you should be able to modify those settings by opening the Dialer and "dialing" *#*#4636#*#*. A menu should pop up immediately after pressing the last *, then click on Phone Information, and scroll down to the drop down box.

In Firefox on my laptop some applications enlarge vertically instead of horizontally. In other words, when I enlarge the text the right and left boundries stay within the screen. The lines of text just increase for the larger text and I don't have to shift the image left to right to read the whole line.

While trying out a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 in Best Buy today I could not figure out how to make it happen. I used the same site for the test, AVS Forum, and I had to shift the screen left to right to read the whole line. AVS had a downloadable app for Android so I did that. Everything was sized just right but I was unable to figure out how to enlarge the text via zooming so I couldn't check out if the zooming function was even supported.

This is probably the only thing keeping me from taking the leap as my eyes are old and worn and the small type is hard to read.

Appreciate any words of wisdom.

Thanks for the help
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Well, even though you could do it with only ROM manager and root it is highly recommended that you flash CWM recovery just in case anything goes bad you can always bring the recovery and reflash or restore.

Sent From My Stock G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
^^^^^ agreed. The plain-jane method of rooting/RomManager/CWM works but if something happens where you can't get into RomManager (aka bootloop) then your SOL.

Do yourself a favor and spend 3 seconds and NVFlash. You only have to do it once and you will be forever able to save your skin if something goes bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phantasybm:
Thanks guys.

So I root first (already done), NVFlash (done some reading but still not 100% sure what exactly this does or how to do it) and then set up cement recovery?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
me neither, lol and to the other guy nvflash u want because say your phone goes into a bootloop what u gonna do? u cant do nothing but pull battery out then when u turn your phone on it just keeps bootlooping not letting u into the phone ever, well thats what would happen if u got a bad download or flashed the wrong thing by accident , dude accidents do happen, rom manager is what they call a fake flash, ..........now nvflash really puts recovery on your phone it over writes your stock recovery, and if your going into a bootloop u can pull battery put back in then hold vol down and power and bingo your in recovery, it looks the same as rom managers recovery, but with this one u can actually get into it and if your bootlooping u would just restore a nandroid or reflash another rom and your good, ....kinda a failsafe i live by it and dont use rom manager , and if u want to see your backups and rename them use astro zip in market its free too

That is all you need to know... NVflash is the only way to go if you absolutely want to be sure you can save your phone...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
According to Cyanogenmod's wiki you can flash recovery from ROM Manager, it says nothing about this NVFlash. I did this and rebooted into Clockwork and flashed CM7 RC1, and now I can't get back into Clockwork, just the default one, and ROM Manager can't execute anything, I can't connect to wifi and, I get various Force Close messages at start up. So is the wiki lying to me?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonnyboyca:
Do NOT question nvflash! You need this... nvflash makes the clockwork recovery permanent.. If you only flash through rom manager it only makes the recovery temporary and the next time you reboot you will lose recovery
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
It made a huge difference. Things are running much more smoothly now that I used nvflash and reinstalled CM7.1-RC1.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
It's almost like people don't read the threads about rooting. Every one that I read said, in no uncertain terms, you NEED to use NVflash if you want permanent root....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KeithLM:
The thing is there is incomplete information all over the place and it changes constantly, and it's difficult to keep up on what is needed or not. Cyanogen's wiki doesn't say it's needed, and I figured that meant the problems with ROM Manager and Clockwork had been resolved in the most recent versions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Same **** I said in cm7 rrc thread. Yet I get laughed at and ridiculed.

U arr correct
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
That's why I advocate, when in doubt, research some more. I didn't get the feeling that info was incomplete, everything I read said nvflash for permanent root and you can bet that the threads where people were asking for help because they were in a bootloop the first question asked was did you use nvflash... maybe cyanogen just figured that everyone already got recovery with nvflash, because you should have, and THEN it is safe to use RM...
