[Streak 5 General] slashnburn:
Yayyyyyyy, well pleased. Must have set the density too high when I flashed my ROM. Was dreading having to re-flash, with the attendant reset and month getting the phone back to how I like it. Simple line edit, and voilla, no more magnifying glass needed. Thanks folks, made my day.

In my case, the lcd_density line was already there, (set at 140), which threw me because I simply scrolled to the bottom and added the line, which, of course didn't work 'cos the line already appeared.

If you find that this technique doesn't work for you, search for the file for the offending line, and simply edit the number (mine now at 160, and perfect)
[Streak 5 General] slaydog:
You can always reflash a rom on top of your old one without changing any of your setup. Just flash as you normally would, but don't factory reset. So you can change your setup options for the rom, then just re-flash it. That even works for upgrading a rom to a newer version, unless the chef recommends against it...

Of course always Nandroid backup first!
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
Custom ROMs applied as a .zip file can be flashed over your current ROM without loss of settings and apps. Depending what ROM is on your phone and what apps you have installed this may cause problems. Most devs recommend a factory reset to make sure that this does not happen. Usually it is safe to reflash StreakDroid if you want different options. For best results with a custom ROM you will usually get better results if you flash the stock ROM that they base the custom ROM on first, so that you have the correct system files that match the custom ROM, since all of these are not part of the .zip file that contains the custom ROM.

When installing a stock ROM from recovery it is the same effect as a factory reset. You will have to redo your settings and reinstall your apps.

So the advice to flash over the ROM only works if the problem you are having isn't due to mis-matched baseband and if you are talking about a custom ROM.

Just saw a commercial for AT&T where they are literally saying they will have more cell sights once they merge with T-Mobile. I thought this was still in the approval stage??? So was this finally approved? If so, this is really gonna suck!
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
It's not confirmed but basically...

It's not confirmed but basically... it's looking like the merger is going to go through... they just jumped the gun, but for good reason the only real opposition they face is Sprint but one company probably won't be enough to mess up the merger, and it may not suck. If they want to keep customers, they have to maintain the quality that people are used to from both companies when they merge them. At first it's gonna be a mess but I think in the long run it's a good thing.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
History doesn't support one company owning 80% of a market being a good thing for consumers.
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
+ 1.

Basically, we are about to be stuck between a biopolly as our choice. Sprint is too small to be on the same field as Verizon and at&t-mobile.
[HTC Sensation] BonesRed:
+ 1

Also it's not about one company standing in the way. It's about the federal government, the FCC approving the deal. It's about everyday people playing their parts and writing to their congressman and to their senators as I have to tell them that we don't need or want this merger.
[HTC Sensation] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I say suck because I remember when I went through the Cingular to AT&T merger and I was treated like dirt. T-Mobile is one if the last companies I actually don't mind paying every month because of the stellar customer service they provide, and the amazing plan I have. That super limited data plan new iPhone customers get with AT&T is a joke. I am praying for the best, but expecting the worse. Strap in, here we go folks!!
[HTC Sensation] Sevent33n:
I really hope that if this does happen we dont have the same awful data plans as the iphone 4. Thats one of the main reasons i didnt go with att.
[HTC Sensation] bonebeatz1234:
Face the facts t-mobile is bought and it is what it is don't give me that there not junk call t-mobile if u don't believe it. I called corporate they say bought and will be finalized by the end of the year, they will honor or contracts til there up.
[HTC Sensation] gcarloss:
I have been a t-mo customer and I love the service. When this happens it's going to HUGE change for the current t-mo customers. We as current t-mo customers are not going to be happy. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
You have to realize, AT&T didn't force T-Mobile in to this deal. Deutsche Telekom sold T-Mobile U.S. because they didn't have the cash to make it competitive and it was under performing financially. And the deal

is

officially done. It can become undone if it doesn't get U.S. approval but until and unless that happens both companies are preceding toward closing the deal. I'll bet you too that when T-Mobile discloses their Q2 numbers they're going to be bloody. Q1 was awful and that was with no impact from the merger announcement. Q2's results will help justify the need for the merger and most likely accelerate its approval.

[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
SIGH. I'm contract FREE with tmobile right now. Now undecided whether to run in and get a contract, so I at least have two years locked pricing, or whether I'm going to stand by my previous conviction that I'd never give AT&T any of my hard earned money. At least if I grab a tmobile contract, I can feel like I'm screwing AT&T by paying less for a while. Then I can jump ship once my contract is over.
[HTC Sensation] kable:
TMOUS would probably just sell to someone else if the ATT merger was denied or go out of business.

I don't understand why people are so against the merger really. I am happy with TMOUS but understand if they are not profitable enough to survive.

If there is a budget market out there I'm sure some other company will fill in the spot that TMOUS leaves open. If not then it was pretty obvious they they did the right thing.

Its no different that Cable TV companies. Survival of the fittest.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
Your right but the government wouldn't allow that... from what I'm seeing the merger is going to go through, and the infrastructure of t-mobile will split up in some way. The end game for ATT is to acquire all or at the least most of t-mobile cell towers.

The fact is they can make it happen without monopolizing the industry because at the end of the day only certain states are at risk of monopolization.

ATT is not stupidly investing billions of dollars into attempting this merger when they know full well that their major problem preventing them from being okay'd is the fear of monopolization.

When I say Sprint is their major opposition I am stating that they are the ones highlighting the other downfalls besides monopolization
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
Yea that's probably a good idea. especially if you know for a fact that you can handle the current prices, because when things go through it may get worse or better, I'm highly doubting it will get better though. I would wait at least a year to lock anything in, it's gonna take at least 1 year to 1 and 1/2 before ATT can mess up tmobile rates on plans.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
They also have a lot to gain if the AT&T merger doesn't get approved. They'd be able to buy T-Mobile for a lot less than $39B and they would. Their motive for scuttling the merger isn't because they're concerned about the little people. Once a company's "in play," which T-Mobile is, things can never go back to the way they were. Try to imagine a Sprint/T-Mobile merger with CDMA, Wi-MAX, and GSM. Not pretty.
[HTC Sensation] strath:
I did get a new contract with the Sensations and am undecided if I'll stay. It will be difficult paying AT&T anything, even on a lower rate plan. I still have the unlimited data at $25.

It will be interesting to see how AT&T responds to us with contracts.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
Yea exactly but that's almost always the case with business... But for them to be successful even with their selfish motives they have to bring legit reasons to the table why it shouldn't go through
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Anyone requiring a GSM phone can't expect to be treated well if/when this merger happens. I'm in that boat, it's sinking and the sharks are circling...
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
If you got it now then most likely your contract will be up right around the time that Att gets full control over t-mobile... So it shouldn't be too painful for you... But you also have to ask yourself what's the better option... Verizon is probably the only choice but their rates are higher... They do have better quality connection on average though... It's a tuff decision man
[HTC Sensation] GHOST99K:
the merging will go through no doubt about it but it's not confirmed publicly yet till next year.got this info from t-mobile corporate master dealers.lots of changes took place in t-mobile since afet the merging possibility news and still changing as we speak.
[HTC Sensation] gguy1:
Yea its kinda sad allot of t-mobile retail stores are at risk of going out of business because of the changes.... But that's business... This type of stuff happens
[HTC Sensation] 10332007:
I do not want to lose the quality I have enjoyed on T-Mobile overall and end up back with ATT's retarded pricing scheme and plans. I am expecting things to go smoothly for the merger though. Business is business but I dont have to like it.

Its not like this merger will take place over night if / once it is fully approved and a signed deal. It will take another year or two beyond that minimum to merge all of us into ATT's network, billing, service, rates plans blah blah blah so we have plenty of time for now to see how it will unfold.
[HTC Sensation] tyler611:
Not too excited

I don't like the idea of two major players merging. I understand large companies buying up smaller ones... but this massive deal is a little scary for the consumers in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] bwstonemd84:
If the merger does not go through tmob US might be shuttered. Look at all the markets in Europe that dk has divested from. Dt does not have the money to support tmob USA. Let's see pre merger att has the most spectrum of any us carrier after merger they will greatly increase that number. With all that spectrum available you will see even faster hspa+ speeds because now you have a lot more towers. LTE will also be available in a lot more places then previously with less money to build out and expand the system.

In the world its been proven that its the survival of the fittest. Verizon has merged with multiple companies as has att prior to the merger. So has Sprint. This time around Sprint gets absorbed by a bigger company. If you haven't noticed there has been a lot of Sprint/Google intergration. Could we be seeing a Google takeover of Sprint post merger? If so that puts Sprint in a pretty good position to succeed. If the merger does not go through then we will see a Sprint buyout of tmob. Sprint is not in a bad position contrary to popular belief.

There are so many negative views about the merger. If you sit back and think it will improve things for att and tmob. Tmobs 2nd quarter numbers will not be all that bad either. Have you seen their pricing lately? They are damn near paying you to be a customer. Hey tmob is in a good position too if merger is denied they get what 6 billion dollars? To me I see a win win across the board. With two major carriers and a Google/sprint merger I see a very competitive US market. Google has a lot of pull.
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
good thing that they won't.

This is personally a great thing for me, because in rural areas, AT&T has tons of 3g where TM has edge. AT&T has 4g in my small town (~16k people) where TM only has edge (and slow edge at that.)

It will be huge for us because our existing plan is honored and they will merge the networks so I will have 3g/4g finally!!!
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
The only thing that really worries me about the buyout (it's not a merger - T-Mobile USA is up for sale, and AT&T is buying) is AT&T's pricing. I'm sure that the service will improve, due to the fact that T-Mobile's towers will be absorbed by AT&T, but I'm sure that the pricing will skyrocket. You think AT&T is expensive now? Wait till they become the only GSM carrier!

My experience with Sprint has been hit and miss when I had a contract with them about 7 years ago, and they don't seem to have improved. My brother in law just signed up with Sprint, and his phone had almost no data signal in my apartment, which is smack in the middle of a supposedly 4G coverage area. The more I think about it, the more appealing Verizon seems. At least I have 2 more years of T-Mobile pricing.
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
Old news should be completed within a year
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
Q2's numbers are going to be a bloodbath. They're going to be down significantly in prepaid customers over their Q1 and VZW, AT&T, and Sprint. Churn is going to be terrible. And the cost per customer acquisition, for the reasons you've said, are going to set new records in the industry. Not one analyst is expecting anything different. We'll know for sure the second week in August.
[HTC Sensation] chisleu:
They claim that it will keep TM plans the same.
[HTC Sensation] bwstonemd84:
Att prices have dropped a bit. They are no where near Verizons expensive crap. Lte hands down has amazing speeds but 3g needs to improve. Att and tmobile have the most consistently fast nationwide services. Just wait till att Lte hits the market vzw won't know what hit them. Vzw needs to make their money while they can.

Pricing I'm not.sold that it will go up. Once the merger goes through vzw will be playing catch up and it will be a pissing contest between the two. Att will stay lower then vzw.
[HTC Sensation] davedsone:
This guy either doesn't read, or can't understand what he does read.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
I'll beleave it when I see it! And hopefully I won't see it!!
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
If this is the case, or if I'll be able to avoid AT&T's prices by purchasing their phones outright, then I'll consider staying with them. However, they have always dodged the question of whether they will keep T-Mobile's prices for the duration of our existing contracts, or whether they will permanently grandfather all former T-Mobile subscribers who choose to remain with them. Unfortunately, I can envision AT&T requiring all of us to sign up for their contracts in order to access their data network.
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
I did a side by side comparison of the Verizon and AT&T plans that are the most similar to my current T-Mobile plan. On T-Mobile, I am paying $130/month for a 2 line family plan with 1,000 shared minutes, unlimited messaging, and preferred customer data plans ($20 per line, 5GB unthrottled). The closest thing would cost $170/month on AT&T, and $180/month on Verizon. Although both plans would come with 1,400 shared minutes (it's either 700 or 1,400, and 700 is not really enough), unlimited messaging, and 2GB of data.

Speaking of data, Verizon now charges $50/month for 5GB, and AT&T charges $45/month for the same amount. Talk about a ripoff.
[HTC Sensation] jwilliamsoh:
Yeah to escape the cluteches of AT&T and their dropped call and slow net reputation I switched myself and my two kids to Sprint on Sunday (July 10th); got the new Evo 3D for each of us.

WELL... The 3D hurt our eyes and having sprint hurt our heads....LOL Going from where I live (East Side Suburb to Cleveland OH) to where I work (Downtown Cleveland) I would loose internet connectivity 4-5 times. NONE of this is a rural area AT ALL.... I hit 4G in one spot in downtown.

Accessing a YouTube video (RayWilliamJohnson) OF COURSE... ;) on my Sprint phone using 4 G and a co-worker backing his Vibrant down to 3G; his video started (same video) a full 12 seconds before mine, and played through... Mine stopped to buffer twice.

WHAT A JOKE...

I was back with T-Mobile 9:30 am Tuesday.

Honesly I love T-Mobile, they have been flawless for us.

I swithed because of the merger, and Sprint offered to save me 115.00 per month on the three phone plans..

You get what you pay for and I will never make that mistake again.

I will take my chances with AT&T (I did not go into the no net while on a call thing but man that REALLY sucks - so no Verizon either).

AT&T don't screw us... Offer solid service.
[HTC Sensation] D200P13:
i have had tmobile since it was voicestream and my sister has had almost all carriers (except cricket) in chicago and my tmobile service has always won when comparing the networks. even got more bars in basements and didnt have to go to the windows to get service lol. saw a commercial about att and verizon charging extra for data usage after you maxed it out and tmobile caps you but sprint supposedly has truly unlimited. with the merger i almost believed sprint will win in service.
[HTC Sensation] vinnyjr:
AT&T is IMO the worst network period. They have a huge budget but they can not give the Boston area more then 350 kl. DL speed. They call that HSPA+ on their coverage map. On the other hand T-Mobile who has a very small budget can push over 12 MB download with a 3 MB upload. Those are real numbers in the Boston area. This is no small market, I truly hope that the FCC does not give AT&T the approval for this buyout. Hopefully T-Mobile can wake up before it is too late. T-Mobile's 4G footprint increases in size and speed 5 times faster then AT&T, why is that?? You couldn't find AT&T's HSPA+ Network if you drove around and looked for it, reason why is simple, it doesn't exist. :(
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
Your analysis is spot on. Unfortunately, it's the reason T-Mobile's being sold. Being smaller, their per customer costs are higher. Yet, their prices have to be significantly lower to attract customers. The kind of financial performance that leads to wasn't sustainable for a public company. Sprint's not that much better but they have a much larger base of more profitable corporate business to help their margins.

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that AT&T will let current T-Mobile customers ride out their existing contracts. If there are network changes that require a new handset during the contracted period they'll provide free replacements (probably good, not great equivalents). If people find what's offered unacceptable I'd imagine they'd let them out of their contracts to go somewhere else. Unlike T-Mobile's spin-the-wheel CSR's, AT&T doesn't horse trade or allow individual agents any pricing discretion so their offer(s) are black and white. After that, the new contract would most likely be on AT&T's current terms with a one-time sweetener at signing (in addition to subsidized equipment). Based on T-Mobile's much lower margins I don't see AT&T grand-fathering plans that are less profitable then their own plus throwing new subsidized handsets on top of it. Based on how much larger they'll be then VZW, losing a few million low profit customers (they'll have 130MM, 43% of the market) would be a better long-term alternative then tanking their margins. And Sprint's *****ing now but once the deal closes, watch them take their rates up closer to VZW and AT&T. Again, only a guess but I've advised companies on similar stuff and I'd bet I'm pretty close.
[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
That's exactly the case they're making for why they need the merger. Based on the number of customers (AT&T + T-Mobile), and combined density of consolidated frequency and towers, and the saving of cost and time for both T-Mobile and AT&T to evolve their networks (HSPA+ is a stop gap), 1+1=3. In the long-run, both AT&T and VZW will have the best wireless networks in the world which will be great for quality. It won't be great for consumer prices though.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
I had TMO when they were voicestream right after they became voicestream from being Omni point. At first voicestream SUCKED as did omni before it. But then they got better. But honestly I have been with tmo for 6 years and have been a loyal customer and always raved about their CS but lately it has really been slipping IMO. I'm already eying sprint. Here in NYC they have a really good network and I dont travel to rural areas often.. we will see.. if the merger goes through, I'm switching for sure
[HTC Sensation] anjahl:
I work for a 3rd party call center and am working as a AT&T Customer Service/Zodiac Rep. AT&t just got done merging some Alltel, Verizon, and Unicell customers and what there doing for them is, Free comparable phones due to different tech(Im thinking T-mobile custs will keep their own phones). The migrated customers can cancel there service within thirty days from their att activation date with no etfs. After thirty days there contract from there legacy carrier goes into effect. AT&T is letting them keep there plans, for the most part. No unlim smartphone data or free or unlim tethering. They can keep their unlim data card plan though. Every one can upgrade from day one, and they get to keep their plans as long as they dont upgrade to a iphone.

It sound like its going to be simmilar for the T-mobile merger if it goes through. I love my T-mobile service and am not looking forward to the merger both as a Tmobile cust and having to work the merger....:eek:
[HTC Sensation] ciaphuas:
I've been posting any news against the merger on my site. Their is also an online petition to STOP the merger.

http://www.blamza.com/petition-stop-the-att-t-mobile-merger-change-org/

I really hope the FCC realizes that a cell phone duopoly is a bad idea
[HTC Sensation] Mainspring:
if merger happens and AT&T don't honor my preferred android unlimited plan, I'm out!

guess I'll be looking into Sprint if that would be the case.

thought about Verizon but their new data plans suck!!!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vtmike:
I like to change the screen density to 187 on my nook. When I do this it causes opera mobile to be distorted with the menu bars being way larger than they need to be. Is there a way in opera:config to make it go back to the format when the density is set to 161.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
The HUGE new GUI from them will be the same regardless of density. I've run things at the default 161 and 187, and it's the same. I just hide the navigation bar (under settings) so it's not in the way so much.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vtmike:
Thanks for the info and the 187 density suggestion.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] psychoace:
Can you take a screen shot? for me the top bar only takes up a few centimeters of space. Im running default density
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vtmike:
For some reason couldn't get the built in screen shot in cm7 to work. Here is a photo though.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] bluepen61:
One might be able to write a custom CSS file to accomplish this.

Have you posted this on one of the Opera forums?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] SCWells72:
Hmmmmm...I just verified that I'm on the latest version of Opera Mobile in the market (11.1) and mine doesn't look like that. I still have the menu bar on the top, not the bottom. I do see new options such as User Agent Tablet vs. Desktop, so it's definitely a more recent version than the one I'd been using, but it doesn't match the screens here or on the market page. I guess it's worth pointing out that I'm using 170 dpi, so perhaps it determines its layout based on density...tablet vs. phone or something? Any other ideas?

EDIT: Yeah, looking at their Web site, Opera for Tablets still has the bar on top:

http://www.opera.com/mobile/features/tablets/

Since it's presenting me with a user agent setting for "Tablet", I'm going to assume it's optimizing the experience for an Android tablet (which is what I'd want!).
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vtmike:
I can confirm it changes when you change the LCD density. When I update cm7 and it has the 161 density it doesn't look like the picture I posted.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] :
Hm. Must be cached somehow? Mine looks the same at 161 as it does at 187.
