[Networking] k_nivesout:
Somehow my friend got Verizon to give him a free phone (without contract) during that BOGO promotion. He got the Droid 2 and got an incredible for free. I ended up buying the D2 from him and he started using the inc. I then sold the D2 for an Inc and now we're both happy.

Cool story, I know, my point is just that it is possible to get a BOGO phone without strings attached.
[Networking] stayin100:
Well if that was the case im willing ti vet soneone lost their job over that. There is no way to get a free phone without contract... I work for them trust me.

Hi, i need an app to control my laptop using my android phone. I want to know what do you guys think the best app is. Also, i want to know how much data it uses when im just browsing the file in my pc.

Thanks in advanced
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] georgelopez:
I've been using Android-VNC-Viewer since I bought my Atrix. It's worked great so far. Best of all, it's free! You can find it in the market.

I'm using Ultra VNC on my server.

Let me know if you have any questions. It may be a bit difficult to set up at first. Good luck!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] 00cubano:
I cant connet iy always get connetion timed out
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] dictoresno:
i use TeamViewer. i use it alot from my netbook to control my home pc. its in the market for free.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] georgelopez:
Sounds like port 5900 is closed. Google "port forward", click on the first link, and follow the instructions for your specific router.

You can verify whether or not a port is open at CanYouSeeMe dot org.

Let me know how it goes.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] s1mpd1ddy:
I 2nd teamviewer. Its free for home use, and it's soooooooooooo easy to set up.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] blackalice:
I used Splashtop on my old phone. Insanely quick - you could even watch videos and listen to music. Hell, I managed to do some basic stuff in photoshop!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] scoob8000:
I'm a fan of VNC, but it's not the most secure thing around.

I would set up a VPN connection to home or an SSH tunnel to use it. That will add to it's security. If you go with the port forward route, make sure you shut the forwards off, or close VNC when you don't need it. (Read, VNC alone isn't very secure)

If your not a network geek, then I highly recommend Teamviewer.

It just works, thru whatever firewall setup you sit behind. With zero configuration. You can also add ACL's to allow connections from only certain IP's/Clients to lock your install down a little better.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] ceo.mtcl:
Been using team viewer for years now. I its the best on market. And free as well.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] domin8:
i use unified remote. simple, and works great
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mrfahrenheit94:
Splashtop remote is a godsend in terms of quickly showing you what's going on on your computer. It essentially makes your phone a remote display capable of not only controlling the computer, but also watching videos, and even playing games. The coolest thing for me is the ability to stream the audio from your computer to your phone. Hope this helps

This does use quite a lot of data so I suggest running it on wifi. There's a free demo as well that you can try.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultran00b:
When I first got the phone yesterday all was behaving normally. (Ie. Vibrate when receiving call and not during SMS) I then proceeded to configure Widgetsoid and probably accidentally pressed the wrong button on the sound toggle button.

As you are aware there is clearly no option to select "Vibrate on/off" in the SMS settings menu, so I was wondering how one could remedy the problem without using Sound Profile to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_roboto:
Hi all, i changed my google account password in a browser and in the past my phone would basically stop working and ask for re-authentication.

However I just changed it , twice, and it my phone did not prompt me for any new password entry. I know i've done this in the past with other android phones. I'm wondering if its because of a special google account setting or phone setting.

Any ideas? Im running cm nightlies 150 on my g2.

Im just trying to make sure its compatible.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] media_11:
Yes it would work with Galaxy tab.

I purchased the charging/data cable and car usb linked below.

http://goo.gl/Bj0JN for cable.

http://goo.gl/mzvml for dual usb charger.

It would be less than $8 for both including shipping. It works very good and usb adapter gives enough power to charge Galaxy tab very quick. Also, you get a spare usb to charge your 2nd device. Like a phone, gps etc.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] EyeAndroid:
Thanks for that!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Raistlin1:
Nice find, very nice/inexpensive alternative for car charging. Why does the cable need a switch for charge/sync? Samsung one doesn't have that, just curious.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Entropy512:
If you use it with a Samsung charger, it'll charge/sync when in "sync" mode.

"Charge" mode lets it charge from chargers that normally would not charge the tab, like iPad chargers.

The way "dumb chargers" signal their presence to a device is with resistors between D-, D+, and the power rails. If the charger has the right resistors, the cable just has to pass D+ and D-. If the charger doesn't, the cable needs to disconnect them and put in its own resistor network.

What rom in yalls opinions is the best?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
I just went back to the ICBINB rom with my own custom UOT theme after trying the new gingerbread leak. GB was ok, but ICBINB has ALL the tweeks, and the UV bali kernal for awesome battery life and performance.

When more GB roms come out with tweeks, I'll flash back, but right now, Froyo is doing great for me with icbinb.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
As with anything, it's all about preference...

I personally like ICBINB, as I don't use my phone as a music player much... If music via your phone is more you I'd suggest one the audiophile roms, for the sound tweaks that were incorporated in the rom.

Both off these TeamAcid roms have all the latest tweaks available and they're easy to flash, so you can test drive them all then pick the one that best suits you.

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
ICBINB is the easiest ROM to flash here and also one of the best, because it already has all the tweaks built in there already.

Then again, if you want to play around with tweaks and stuff more, you can always flash the other ROMs, which are still wonderful.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Really any of them. Theyre all fantastic. Although i would have to say it would be ICBINB, Audiophile, Black Ice, Frost
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I would say if you're new to flashing, stay away from Black Ice for a bit, lol. It is still the most difficult ROM to flash out of all anyways. I would say Bionix Frost is really the easiest though. It was the first one I flashed. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I dont know why everyone is getting these problems with Black Ice, i never had one :P and i loved frost but the white is a battery burner
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Yup, I gotta agree with you on that. Black Ice gave me problems the first night, but after careful reading the next day, I flashed it perfectly. Unfortunately, I didn't like the dull look of it, so I went back to Bionix Frost right afterwards, LOL! Bionix Frost would be my second favorite ROM after ICBINB though. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheKucho:
I gotta say ICBINB has done the best for me. It is noob friendly(I'm a noob) and has all the latest tweaks and mods that you need. Also providing insane battery life and smoothness with little to no bugs. ICBINB, thanks to Team Acid, is the best choice at the moment in my opinion! My two cents yo! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dtowngs4g:
My top roms I love;

Black Ice

Trigger 0.4 or 0.5

ICBINB

Audiophile

Of course Whitehawk's deodex kd1

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drpratik:
which rom will be best for sister's sgs 4g and she is going for university and far off from me,

so which will be best rom for her?

is gingerbread with gtalk video available?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
if she is going to be far, then stock rom is best. If she ever has a problem with her phone, she can take it to the cell phone vendor to troubleshoot. if it has a custom ROM, they might not help her.

I'd say stick to stock KD1 rom with root and get titanium backup app, so she can uninstall bloatware and back up her apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] drpratik:
thanks for your helpful reply.

I agree with you,its best to have stock rom for troubleshooting.

I will install stock rom .

In my experimentation,i found that undervolted bali kernel is giving me nice battery back up.

can i have stock kd1 with this kernel bali 3.3 undervolted.?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] martx:
When I got this phone a few weeks ago I immediately flashed Black Ice, then went with AudioPhile, for FroYo roms those are the best IMO. Once the 2.3.4 leak came out I flashed that ran it until today with no issues. Flashed the Deodexed kg6 from Whitehawk today and it's been fine as well. Only reason I changed from the leak to this was I felt the urge to flash something new.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
yes, if you have a rooted stock rom, you can install CWM recovery, and flash the bali kernel.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biltmore:
I recently flashed my Nexus S with with a radio from the forums here. It was the UCKE1 since that is the carrier I'm on. Didn't work. Signal was down around -91 and lower. I've tried flashing back to KB3 and even tried flashing stock using ROM Manager and Odin. Nothing has recovered the radio. Read through several forums here and elsewhere to find anything similar and tried the suggested solutions I could find. No go. So, am I SOL or might there be one last remedy to try?

Exactly what the title says. Im currently running apex 8.2 (a GB rom). If i were to do a hard reset, would it flash back to a stock apex 8.2, or a stock jf6? or do something else?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
If you are referring to the dialer code hard reset, it will simply wipe your data and format your internal memory. It will not "flash" your phone back to a stock firmware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZBigT:
A hard reset, as in pulling the battery? No, doing a reset by pulling the battery will not flash you back to stock Apex or otherwise. After a hard reset (battery pull) you should still have all your settings, contacts and such. However, if you mean hard reset as in doing a factory reset (from the settings -> privacy) then yes it will bring your phone into a state that resembles stock. Stock, whatever ROM you've got installed. You, will still have all your data on the internal SD card, but none of your settings, contacts etc.

To do a complete wipe and get back to stock you will need to re-flash to or jf6, or the ROM of your choice.

afaik you need a code to unlock your phone. ive never heard of anyone flashing to a different provider. you can google "android sim unlock phone" or something like that and i bet most of the results will have to do something with buying a code off ebay or something

You think that's bad? About a month ago, my girl friend and I went out of town for a wedding. Since she's one of the brides maid, she woke up early in the morning in the hotel and got ready. I had nothing to do with the wedding, so I just slept in and got up later. Well, I remember in the early morning she woke me up and asked where my shaver was. I just took it out of my bag and gave it to her. Wasn't thinking.

So, later that morning I woke up and began my routine of bathroom, shower, shave, etc. Wonderful wedding. During the reception, she confessed to me that she forgot her shaver and so she used mine to shave her legs and arm pits... and we're not even married yet.
