Nice, this makes me happy
[Motorola Droid X2] Calcobrena:

OHRLY? This could help a lot with my work. But without an sbf, it's almost useless to me
[Motorola Droid X2] cash_back:
SBF is only a matter of time usually.. I really hope the bootloader is unlocked though.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Can you post the steps you did to do this please? Wow.
[Motorola Droid X2] aDigitalPhantom:
2 steps

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

but in doing what fastboot oem unlock tells me to i get that unlock is not implemented.

so it looks like i jumped the gun in posting this
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
Edit: chevyowner just ninja'd me lol

None of this means anything unless you issue the unlock command with the device number and it says it's unlocked.

Basically you just posted the help file.

[Motorola Droid X2] cash_back:
awwwww! this makes me sad
[Motorola Droid X2] jeffster888:
Well, it doesn't look like it's unlocked. How did the 2.2 Atrix bootloader get unlocked?
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Dev builds bootloaders are unlocked but there not released to the public when the builds are released to the public they have locked bootloaders well someone leaked the dev build with an unlocked boot
[Motorola Droid X2] aero0311:
This makes me a sad panda..... haha. Well, hopefully P3droid has a rooted GB patch. I read a post somewhere saying he has the update and could possibly be looking for testers tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid X2] veeeee:
P3Droid's twitter account says that he is already looking for people to test his patched update for DX2.

It works, just flashed it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyxng:
A handful of my co-workers on various Verizon Android phones were saying that Gingerbread updates stop tethering apps from working, even if rooted and side-loaded.

I would like to try CM7 since it just released, but I can't lose my tethering! Am I worrying about nothing?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccampos784:
I'm using WiFi tether on CM7 and it works fine. You shouldn't have to worry since CM7 is not built by Verizon or anything, so they can't block tethering apps in the OS.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyxng:
Good to hear! I'll probably give CM7 a whirl once it's stable.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j33zy:
Can you link the wifi tether you use please, and let me know if you changed any settings. I'm rocking MIUI, not sure if that matters or not but doesn't hurt to try.

Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccampos784:
I'm using this WiFi tether app: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk

Once installed, I went to the settings, and changed the Device-Profile to Google NexusOne. Works great and it shouldn't matter if it's CM7 or MIUI.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T Nigs:
I'm on the newest miui using wifi tether app with no problems
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzyjames:
They are blocking tethering on stock roms, so if you are running CM7/MIUI etc you will be fine.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupraLance:
You may have to sideload. Verizon asked Google to hide certain apps, like PDAnet, from the market. This violates their net neutrality agreement, and they are being sued over it. Verizon stock updates are also set to tattle on you if you tether. If running touchwiz, I believe you need a modified kernel with dummy tether.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraphls:
For devices the Verizon is giving an official Gingerbread build, they are slipping in ways to disable Wireless Tether. It's also hidden in the market, but it's easy to find an APK to install yourself. However, if you're running Gingerbread on the fascinate, you're doing it on a custom ROM, which doesn't have that nasty bit of Verizon code.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirt_Bag:
I am 99% certain I know the answer to this, but I just want to be 100% sure;

I am running SuperClean 3 Milestone 1, TW Launcher, and KGB Kernel with Voodoo enabled on my Fascinate. I just installed http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk, but haven't tried it yet. Is Verizon going to know if I am tethering with this configuration?

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
I think it honestly depends.

If you are using it to seach the web and do basic surfing than i dont think it matters to them.

If you start streaming Netflicks at HD quality or Bit Torrents [heavy bandwidth], they might suspect something.

I have used both the wifi tether and barnacle on ICS and GB for quick and dirty usage and i have never had VZW say a thing to me.

That is just my personal experience.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsrhokie:
My $0.02:

I am running SC3 Milestone 2 and the KGB FA16 Kernel and have had no trouble tethering with my tablet or laptop using wifi tether 3.1 Beta 6.

You can pick your Beta flavor for the app using the link CCampos provided.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enyo.:
I have not tethered. Though I want to. (Hotspot feature) don't want Verizon to suspect something and then charge me.

Can't they charge me if they find out?

If I'm running CM7, will they still know?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirt_Bag:
My (very limited) understanding as of right now is that a custom ROM alone is not enough to keep Verizon in the dark. A think you need a custom kernel as well to be safe, and never use the Verizon hot spot app. Am I right?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
All other discussion aside, clockwork mod has put a new app out that allows usb tethering without root on any ROM and can not be blocked by any carrier. Just search cwm or clock work mod in the market
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirt_Bag:
Maybe Verizon can't block you from tethering with this app, but can they monitor if you are? And then hit you with a charge later, or drop you from service?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icemanwbs:
My. 02 cents.....I use an App called Open Garden Wifi with no problems at all.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Just throwing this out there: I've never seen any *confirmed* reports of Verizon retroactively charging customers for "illegal" tethering, or ending your service/contract. Not sure why people get so worried about getting caught, it's not like the phone police are gonna come take you to jail.

If I'm wrong on this and Verizon is in fact charging those who tether (who don't pay Verizon's tethering charge) or terminating their contracts, I'd love to see evidence to the contrary.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neh4pres:
I ran up 18 gb last month. From Xbox live and other teathering because its my only access. Never have issues.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevrlow:
They wont know ur tethering if you are on a custom rom
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jazzmanmonty:
i know the KG4 leak is still new to us, and a bunch of us are getting weak wifi signal vs. stock rom. But is anyone working on or found a fix for this? i really hate to go back to 2.2 because battery life on KG4 and 4g connection is way better, but with the stupid 2 gb cap/ bad reception at work building, wifi is kind of a big deal. so if any dev's can find a fix for the weak signal, many would greatly appreciate! thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I think the only option is to wait it out until the devs get it fully working. They've been working hard in my opinion, but it will definitely come here soon. And i just have a quick question, what are the benfits/cons of gingerbread kf2 compared to a froyo kd1? Sorry for the weak answer too. Thanks. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jamesbond0090:
guys i don't know why but i was forced to make this thread regarding the behavior of the ACE community as said by developers...

till now i have seen eight developers working on ACE and out of it five developers have told that we(ACE community) do not respond to their work in a good manner instead of asking them ETA or PM them..u may think that if i send a PM to the developer what difference will it make ...but if everyone starts thinking like that THE DEVELOPER will get around 100 PM asking for ETA..

and especially i have found that if any of the member writes something wrong in a thread all the OTHER ACE member writes it in the same manner as the host has written in the thread which makes it look bad when some outsider checks ACE threads....instead why dnt u PM him asking him not to repeat it again...if he is done that same mistake more than thrice report to the Moderator..

one more thing i have found is that if any developer makes a thread saying that he is gonna to release a ROM soon i have seen people starting to replying 'just cant wait for it' and all that......hers a small EX even before Ginger Rom could have released it had 30 pages already and i can assure you out of that at least 10 pages were like 'just cant wait for it' ...everyone have the writes to express their views but sometimes it becomes annoying.....

some people may find me rude and may blame me also ...but its the time we actually realize ur mistake

ITS high time that we understand the developer and respect them....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wouldn't want any 1 replying on this thread ...this is just an eye opener....

WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Yes it's definitely annoying. Everybody is waiting and posting that someone is too doesn't make sense, it's redundant and definitely spam.

XDA ♥
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diospada11:
lol. saying "i just can't wait for it" means we're excited to download it. it doesn't imply any negativity. we are just expressing our excitement and gratitude that someone is working to improve our beloved smartphone. how could that be annoying? what do you want us to post? it's just a news for an upcoming release. do you want us to post our experience with it even though we haven't downloaded it? that's just being plain stupid.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Haha, you and I both know it's another way of phrasing "quicken up, we're all waiting". It's said in hopes an eta is given, not in sincerity of the gratitude they have for the developer. Why don't you ask developers if they like people to post "eagerly waiting" 10 times in a thread?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] saminos:
i agree with u :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] diospada11:
hell no. it's very much different. it would actually depend on how you view it. this is where cultural differences come in. a point if view of someone from this nation always differ from another. if you look at the history of the Philippines, we were very much influenced by the Americans which is why our point of view are nearly similar at theirs. we don't take the phrase "we just can't wait" literally unlike some people do. for us, it is an idiomatic expression.

and isn't it gratifying to know that people are waiting for your release?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
Agreed on this as well, dont know about the cultural view of it(no opinion on that). :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] himzz0007:
respecting the developer

you said don"t reply but i am replying taht we really respect the developers that what the are doing for sga is really awsome the custom roms everything and hope they continue doing and why they bothering about asses they are everywhere:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] siddhu1150:
I think people consistently sending pm to the developers is a more important issue than the "excited and waiting for it" thing.

How can people be so irresponsible.and go to the extent of pm and eta abuse :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Maybe the OP and I read too much into it then..

Though I don't understand, if it was you, and someone posted in the thread that he's patiently waiting/eagerly waiting, what is your mentality when posting the same thing that you're waiting?

Because if it were me I wouldn't repeat it because I know everyone is waiting. Maybe it indeed is a cultural, or a personal thing.

But we must agree on the same thing. NO PM TO DEVELOPERS! Unless there's something to share or a question so complicated nobody in the general forums can help.

Peace guys. ^^
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FMAranda:
I agree! :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vertcam9:
Why do you think a Developer will post about something that they will do, basically something that does not exists yet?

Answer: "To let everyone know", to inform the SGA community.

With that i think a mature developer will understand the implications of announcing such things, it is natural (and i think expected) for everyone to be excited about it, giving encouragement as well, it is not important how many times people repeating the same post, but what it brings is that the developer will also gauge how many are interested for their (upcoming) development, and i see no wrong with that.

What i see wrong or actually impolite (not wrong) would be post asking for ETA, and PMs to the developer (asking for ETA). But then again as a developer announcing to the world of a planned ROM, i think would expect such thing (and would just simply ignore such query).

the originator of this thread has good intentions, however has missed some points in his observations.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jamesbond0090:
guys i dnt wnt to extend this topic anymore, this topic was just get people attentions on their mistakes or so called by people 'expression'......

i jst wanted to help or inform the people as i have bought ideos x5 and have already sold MY ACE....i was scared to write it down before as i thought it would have hurt many ACE users but when these words were told by the developers i was very much sad...

hope u people get as many dev as possible..:):):)

I am an amateur developer, just 13 years old and deciding to cook a new ROM (fla.sh - undone yet). Then peoples won't stop asking me "hey, you are 13. Can you teach me how to create my own custom ROM?" either sent me a PM or asking at my G+ account. Yeah, I hope they read this thread. +1 for you.

Hello Ace community :)

I've been away from xda forums for quite a while, resting from this kind of activity. I was a really engaged developer in Windows Mobile devices. I came here now (as I'm an owner of ACE now), read two threads and...

Hey, did something changed in last year or two?... I mean, common. Two first threads I've read say "shh, don't disturb DEVS!". I really DO know how users can become irritating on forums, I was working on many ROMs for many devices. But what is happening here is... frightening :eek: I mean: hey, a whole community spirit is just... gone?!

I hope I can stay here for a while and work for this new community, too (most of you probably don't know me). But I really hope I got a wrong feeling and it's not like that here :)

cheers.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] indeezindii:
yes, we are ruff here ;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roninxt:
The phrase "I can't wait" is definitely an expression of excitement. It's a positive thing.

This is English 101.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] utak3r:
That's true, however a topic built from 20 pages of "omg can't wait" type posts is frustrating... isn't it? ;) And more: it's frustrating for both sides: topic's creator don't have any clue what's going on in it - and readers can't find anything useful. That way we see the same questions on and on...

On the other hand... what's the purpose of topics like "I'm working on a whole new thing. Can't tell you, what's in it, wait patiently."? Do your job and then create a topic instead :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] indeezindii:
the more (topics) the merrier ;) this is the way people keep things alive here - better to have anything than nothing! pzdr
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ysgace:
Seems to me this whole thing would go a lot smoother if xda had a "like" button. Not quite the same as thanks. Then people wouldn't have to fill the threads with posts that are basically just expressing enthusiasm for the topic e.g. "+1", "I can't wait", "I'm so excited"

Hey,

Been getting great battery life on CM7, with texting, calls mostly, nothing extra.....

Just wanted to share.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I see it was put back on charger.....

Looks like it was charged from 30% to 75% halfway through.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Final View:
Just noticed the spike up. How long was it on your charger?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awaisuk:
it says 3day 13hrs but on battery it says 3d 11hrs right now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
Well can you explain the spike? Induction charger? Bug? I've seen some custom battery drivers included with some kernels that make the battery level go up at times. That was after only a day of use, perhaps it evens and lengthens out over a period.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xxunrealxx:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Spike is because it was charged.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Baikal.2002:
If the 2 hour charge was halfway through the graph then 41 hours(1 day 17 hours) before hitting ~30% is pretty impressive.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Not if he's using an extended life battery, which he didn't speficy either way. My 4500mah battery lasted 64 hours on a single charge and still had like 10% left before I put it on a charger.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awaisuk:
Its the default battery that comes with G2X

I also calibrated the battery using the app in market, which seems to be giving pretty good battery nowadays.

Hmmm, I am not sure about the charge, I dont remember I charged it, might be when I was transferring stuff to phone using usb, which shouldnt been that long.....

Anyway, just wanted to share that getting good battery nowadays....thats the main point wanted to share
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
