[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddrbeastappv1:
Anyway or any link with a EF10 modem zip that's flashable over CWM? I have had a lottt of bad luck using Odin. I even went out of my way to flash this EF02 deodexed rom over CWM rather than Odin because I've bricked so many Epics. I know. I know. Epics are hard to brick but I manage to do so. While we're on the topic of Gingerbread leaks, any keyboard fixes yet?

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
No. EF02 isn't an official release so we don't have an upgrade script for the modem to update to EF10.

There won't be any keyboard fixes for any leaked Gingerbread Roms until source code is released to make custom kernels.

I am new here so apologies.. i have been trying to get all my questions answered by searching.

It seems that the sgs2 is rad. im eligible for an upgrade at AT&T and found someone at t-mobile who also is. I will buy a white iphone4 and trade for his sgs2.

I think this is possible, is it not? any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

ps. i plan on rooting and and what not
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
The SGS2 doesn't exist on T-Mobile. The closest thing by name they have is the Galaxy S 4G which is basically just a SGS1 with T-Mobile U.S. AWS bands. Is it someone who bought an SGS2 from overseas and is using it on T-Mobile? Before you start screwing around with your AT&T contract I'd check out what you're actually going to get in the swap. If you end up getting a SGS2 it works fine on AT&T out of the box.
[Galaxy S II General] koryp924:
yea im retarded. i just learned that you literally cannot get this phone through any carrier. you have to buy it fresh for the 700 or whatever it is.

ive been doing a lot of research and ive decided on this phone .. but at this point i save 500 bux by renewing my plan and buying an atrix. any thoughts??
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Of all AT&T's phones, the iP4 in white is the most marketable on eBay. You could renew your contract and get one and probably sell it for close to $600. Then order the SGS2 from the UK or Expansys-USA for about $100-150 more. You could also use the dumb-phone unlimited data plan with the SGS2 for $10 a month which would eventually pay back the difference you paid. Good luck.
[Galaxy S II General] koryp924:
i have read about using the dumbphone plan. realistically it isn't supposed to last for much longer is it?
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
AT&T has no auditing software on their network to know who is using what. They rely on a database of IEMI numbers for the phones they sell (the Nexus' being an exception). Since the SGS2 isn't an IEMI they recognize it flies below the radar. It could change at some point but its been this way for a while.
[Galaxy S II General] koryp924:
OK. so just to clarify. I would buy the iphone and a data plan. sell the iphone and buy a sgs2 online somewhere. call att when i recieve the sgs2 (put my sim card in it) and tell them i lost my iphone already and will be returning to a razr (or w.e dumbphone) and want a dumbphone plan?

edit: and worst case scenario i just pay for a data plan and the phone works fully??
[Galaxy S II General] boondoc:
there's no reason to tell them anything. when you put your sim in the new phone att's system will not be able to match the imei and will list it as an unknown phone. just go into your account online and choose data for dumbphones plan.

a word to the wise, make sure you read all the fine print where ever you get your new phone from. a lot of them have conditions where you have to keep the smartphone data for at least a certain amount of time.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
He has to sign-up for a smartphone plan to get the iP4. OP, once you get the iP4 tell them it fell in the pool and you're using your Krzr until you can save up for a new one. After they make the switch, tell them you want the dumb-phone plan.
[Galaxy S II General] Illicit Hero:
I'm pretty sure signing a new contract locks you I'm for a smart phone data(iPhone data). You can still get the SGS2 to work, you just have to call AT&T and tell them you need to change your iPhone data plan to a smartphone/Android data plan. You will need a new sim completely as well because the iPhone uses a mini sim card.
[Galaxy S II General] koryp924:
i mean that would be pretty messed up if you actually broke your smartphone and still had to pay for a data plan for two years even though your using a dumbphone...
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I started a new account with AT&T so I never had to change plans. Others have posted that what I shared with you has worked for them. Maybe someone else who's changed plans mid-contract can comment.
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
Will it work (SGS2) on Tmobile USA? or just 2G?
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
It works fine on TMO USA it's just you only get edge speeds. But of the box it works no problem.

Looks like black to me :)
[G Tablet Accessories] goodintentions:
There ain't no black clip cases. I've been checking it for days. Here are some screen shots. The first one is from the link you posted in the OP. The second is in the gtab cases page.

Spoke with steve. Confirmed. It is the black case.

It arrives thursday.
[G Tablet Accessories] goodintentions:
Did you ask him if he's got any left for me?
[G Tablet Accessories] oresteez:
black clip case is in stock right now, he just got some in last night.
[G Tablet Accessories] ph0:
Electronic crap has black ones now. Steve contacted me and let me switch my order to a black one. :D
[G Tablet Accessories] goodintentions:
He should have said something to me a couple days ago when I asked. The chinese already shipped my order out.
[G Tablet Accessories] stsrep:
I purchased one of the Chinese ones as well and it took 3 weeks to get to me.

It's cardboard with a Pleather wrap which was fine but the tablet squeezes in so tightly that the top of the leather bows downward.Not a good fit or look at all.

There is a velcro band/strap on the left side that holds in the tablet.The foldover stand is ok but overall this to me is a POS.

I ordered one from another ebay vendor for 39.95 which is supposed to be a custom fit.We'll see.
[G Tablet Accessories] mcmurphy_rp:
Just ordered a black one from electroniccrap. Pricey for a case - $49 + 9.60 shipping to NY - but I guess it's worth it if it's as great as everybody here says.
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
I think he was referring to the same clip case ;)
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
After months and months it's STILL my daily driver. I actually use the black and white one (yes, two tabber)... Hope you like yours!

...sent from my 'un-stock' g2x
[G Tablet Accessories] IllusiveDreams:
After looking at several cases between here and ebay, I decided to go with this clip case and seeing how they had some in stock, I just ordered up a black one! Ill probably get it next week. It will go nicely with my Skinomi screen protector and 32gb microsd.
[G Tablet Accessories] mcmurphy_rp:
I'm using the clip case, which I like a lot, with my newly installed Skinomi screen protector, which I also like a lot. But I'm noticing that the case seems to leave a residue on the screen protector which needs to be wiped off when I first open the case. Anybody else have a similar problem?
[G Tablet Accessories] ramerco:
The "residue" is most likely grease form you hands that builds up over time. Then it gets a bit embedded in the case a bit and smears around when its closed. It happens more often on the clip b/c the case cover is flush with the screen. There is no rim to elevate the cover a bit like on the FUSE for example.
[G Tablet Accessories] billsan101:
ordered my clip from steve last week, still waiting for it up in canada, though can't wait, reviews seem awesome
[G Tablet Accessories] shmusie:
All the clips in electronic crap are sold out. Anyone know of another place to get them?

Try to there: aliexpress.com/product-fm/436190191-retail-Black-G-tablet-case-Zpad-case-advent-vega-case-carrying-case-standing-clips-wholesalers.html

But if you are in U.S i suggest you waiting for a few days. News said that Steve will get another batch of stuff in next week(monday or Tuesday ?)
[G Tablet Accessories] aasoror:
White for $39 shipped.

Black for $53 shipped.
[G Tablet Accessories] pyro530:
We have some, same supplier Steve uses, we only have white though, black may be out of stock for a while.
[G Tablet Accessories] chmcclellan:
I ordered a White Clip from Pyro a few days agao - they were out of black. I think the white will look distinguished (untill I get grease or something on it).

Anyway, can't wait, wish he offered somthing better than USPS, I would have ordered it 2 day or overnight (I'm impatient).
[G Tablet Accessories] pyro530:
I find that USPS Priority is dang quick myself. Honestly its the first request I have heard for it. Perhaps we should add it soon.

Thanks for the business!
[G Tablet Accessories] chmcclellan:
My pleasure. To be honest, I am spoiled by the free 2nd day included in Amazon prime.

Whoops, looked like I spoke too soon, it was delivered otday so I will have it while traveling this weekend.

Thanks!

I am wanting to check out some of the 3.0 roms but i have noticed that you need hboot.92 where can I down load the zip file, and do I just install the zip in recovery mode?

Thanks

Swegin
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
You flash the file in hboot and can download it from www.dougpiston.com

Should be instructions on the site.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Did the same just today. Note that you should flash the Rom you are presently running immediately after flashing hboot, as it makes the kernel wonky. Then when it boots successfully, back it up before flashing the 3. stuff. Also, backups made with a lower version won't restore/boot in the later version.

You flash it in the bootloader screen. Follow the guidelines on Doug's site.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagacious1:
is there a way to turn this notification off? i have SMS GPS installed to turn gps on via text and "Gps my droid" installed to tell me my phone location (via text) once its on. if i lose my phone and GPS cant be enabled without pushing the button, what good is it? also, if someone steals the phone its not likely that they're going to agree to turn it on once they realize theres been text messages sent to turn it on. help!

theres gotta be a discrete way of turning off the notification so i can track someone down if they steal it!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagacious1:
so i guess theres no way to do it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
That notification comes from the system or from the application?

I get no confirmation message when I turn on the GPS on my X10. :confused:

If the app itself produces this notification, then you should contact the developer,

because you are right, it renders the application useless.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagacious1:
good question but my phone is rendering the confirmation/notification, not the application. every time i turn on GPS, no matter how i still get the agree/disagree disclaimer. even if i go directly into the phone settings under location and security and try to enable it still says "data transmission charges may apply. anonymous data will be collected when an application uses GPS. Agree or Disagree"

im kinda shocked that yours doesnt say it. what rom are you using? im on 2.1 update 1 global and rooted.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Maybe you can leave the GPS on...

If no application is using it, it won't affect your battery. And you can always know if it's in use from the flashing icon in the statusbar. ;)

I am on custom ROM, but I don't remember it happening on stock 2.1 either. I could be wrong though.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kemmo123:
This happened to me on stock 2.1... make sure both gps boxes are ticked in settings. And allow usb debugging and unknown sources. Should sort it out...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagacious1:
usb debugging and unknown sources are checked. but im a little confused by your statement, you said "make sure both boxes are ticked." you mean gps and wireless networks? if so, then thats exactly my point. i need them off during normal use but i want them to turn on via my SMS app. i dont leave them on all the time because of battery draining. the SMS app im using turns on wifi without any notification. but turning on the gps always gives a notification..thats what im trying to alleviate.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Turning on the GPS only (not the wireless network location)

will not drain your battery, unless an app is polling location data.

And if it does, you'll see the GPS icon in the statusbar, it can't happen without you knowing.

So leave GPS on is your best solution.

Or contact the developer of the app to implement a different way of turning on the GPS.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRuan:
I get this message when enabling it too, every time, it's a system message when activating the gps itself, not through the mobile network, very annoying by the way.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adzinator:
And the same thing happens with data, kinda makes it hard to remotely enable anything on stock rom when your phone is stolen, what were sony thinking? :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluDRed:
This will solve your problem.

For Root Explorer, go to /system/app, find "LearningClient.apk," click Mount R/W on the upper right corner, and DELETE this app. (May be risky)

The safest way is to use rom toolbox app manager or Titanium Backup, find "Learning Client 2.1 1.0.0," and FREEZE it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwlsrs:
it's working, but could you tell us what that service doing? I mean "learning client", is it safe to disable it?

Ok here's the thing. I cant access certain websites(mostly filesharing sites) due to my country's 'anti piracy policy'. Researched, n found out that they do it by manipulating the DNS. I can access them using my PC by changing the connection setting protocol n stop using auto dns server. I changed the preferred DNS server to Google's.

Then,is there any way i can do it in my O2X? Coz i prefer to get online using my fone rather than pc.

If anyone know how to do it,can u guide me step by step please? Really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

[Captivate Accessories] dmt4595:
I recently bought the oem samsung mount for my captivate and I love it - but I really wanted to be able to shoot video while driving or on my motorcycle. Since the power plug port on the back of the mount is pretty close to the location of where the camera is, I was pretty nervous about drilling into it in case I hit a wire for the power or audio out. I still need to clean it up a little bit since it's a bit rough at the moment, but it works great! There didn't end up being any wires in the area, so everything functions the way it should (Charging is perfect, I havent tested the audio out since I don't use it, but there are no wires near the hole so I can't see any reason it wouldn't work)

Unfortunately the mount bounces around too much on my motorcycle to produce a good video, I need to work out a better way to mount the phone holder part of the mount to make it more stable. Video from the car looks pretty good though!

Anyway, just thought I would share in case other people wanted to do something like this but were afraid to hit wires or lose some functionality. Here are some quick pictures of the rough product, I'll go back and deburr the edges later today probably

Tools required:

-Drill with drill bits of various sizes up to 1/2" (most sets only go up to 3/8", which might work, not sure.. as long as you can get a dremel sanding drum in the hole it's big enough)

-Dremel with sanding drum and various other bits for finishing

- Measure to find about where the camera lens should be, drill small (1/8" or so) WITH THE SLIDE DOWN in the closed position!

- put phone in mount, check alignment of hole to camera lens. if it's not perfect don't worry, you'll have to make it bigger later anyway. Mine was too close to the edge, which is probably better than drilling too far in.

- drill the hole out with progressively bigger bits; i stepped up a few times before ending with a 1/2" drill bit. as you drill with bigger bits make sure you have a very good grip on the mount (but not hard enough to break it) because as soon as the bit breaks through it will try to rip the mount out of your hands. the trick is to hold it firm enough to keep the bit from ripping it out of your hands without holding so tight that the mount snaps when the bit breaks through.

- take a dremel with a sanding drum and recenter/enlarge the hole. If your hole isn't centered, now is the time to recenter it. when you are done with the sanding drum, make sure to wiggle and try to move the slide before the plastic cools; the heat from sanding will melt the plastic together causing the slide to lock up and not be able to open.

- all that's left to do now is deburr the edges and make it look pretty. I still havent done this yet, but I'll probably just take a smaller sanding tool on the dremel or a small file and put a little radius on the edges

[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
i've had sense on some other phones, and i'm experiencing some sort of bug that i can't seem to fix. i have facbook for htc sense sync contacts instead of the facebook app because it syncs a higher resolution image than facebook itself. some of my contacts, which seem to be contacts that aren't linked to anything else, the facebook only ones are syncing at low resolution. i can solve this by linking the contact to someone else, clicking their picture and then the picture selection options resyncs the hi res image and i can unlink the contact again.

i can't figure out why this is happening, but after i fix it, and go back into contacts they're all low res again, it's almost like it's zooming in the picture, i mean the pictures are right, it just seems to be blowing them up or zooming in causing them to look terrible, this is only happening with contacts that aren't linked to another contact. it's really really annoying, anyone else experiencing this?
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
you link people together ?? why ?? my mom and my dad have seperate numbers why linking them ? is this even possible ??

ok... anyways ...

for me the picturequality stayd the same as i turned off google contact sync ... maybe this helps you too
[HTC Sensation] katiepea:
i link people together because i have a ton of contacts under different services, google, facebook, twitter, last.fm, and the ability to link them under one contact card is, for me, the best feature sense offers. turning off google contact sync would not be the fix for this issue, i'd lose 400 contacts doing that.
[HTC Sensation] B-Man2005:
no... you will keep them ... it just stopping syncing the new contacts youre adding !!!! ... when you have new contacts you can turn it on again ... but try it .... nothing will get lost .... and my pictures stayed in same quality ....

for me it was the same .... new contact picture and after some minutes picture was blurry .... and when i turned on they stayd in same quality ...

google saves the contactpicture in low quality
