un·lim·it·ed

-adjective

1. not limited; unrestricted; unconfined

2. boundless; infinite; vast

3. without any qualification or exception; unconditional

My plan, grandfathered in, says "unlimited" in my data plan. And I pay for it. If they enact this change, they can expect a class action lawsuit.

No longer sent from my BlackBerry.
[Captivate General] richb500:
I think you may run into a couple of problems... first, it will still be unlimited, just throttled after a certain threshold, second problem is that I think we are prevented from joining any class action lawsuit by the terms of our contract.
[Captivate General] Yuna:
Hmm, IDK how in US, but in Ukraine it's illegal to make a contract/ToS prohibiting you from using lawyer.

And yeah - US in part of ISP is a great **** :)

Ukraine: 100mbps connection costs for me at home1 only 13.75$ and another home i have 1gbps connection for just 15$.

and yeah - trully unlimited.

and no issues from carrier - just pay per mb on mobile.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Might want to check out the TOS you signed that people never read. It states right in there that they can change your plan to suit certan needs as long as they notify you by ,sms, email or postal mail.
[Captivate General] bulletproof1013:
Yeah.that's what I figured also.cause I never read those things.
[Captivate General] _jeremiah_:
Don't we all just love paying all this money for data that SHOULD be unlimited, and now we have to have slower speeds if we use too much...
[Captivate General] guineaone:
unlimited???

how the hell?? i pay $30 a month extra for just 2gb per phone maybe im retarded but is this a newer thing they have? id be happy to get throttled after 2gbs than have to pay another $20 per gb over

to the dude with comcast issues they had a class action law suit against them for trying to cap ur usage cuz i had the same problem with them before but unfortunately theyre the only ones with a decent plan out by me but then again i had 3+ people on my network running pcs and consoles all downloading at the same time so my usage was somewhere around 10gb a day lol
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
You might also point out to the complainers that the ToS *always* stated that "excessive" usage could be throttled or have your account shut down. It's their network, and they can pretty much do whatever they want with it.

Finally, how is it fair to have people on these grandfathered "unlimited" plans using 10+ GB/month while the majority of other users are only using a few GB/month and paying roughly the same amount? My bill is funding your rampant excess, and that's not cool.

Yes, I tether occasionally, in fact I loaded and configured an entire Win7 box the other day over my cell phone (SP1/Windows Update, Virus Scan, Office, and a few other tools). But I also think when I go over my 2GB allocation, I should pay for it. There's nothing wrong with using lots of cell data, but if you're putting a strain on the network, and sucking bandwidth away from other users, you gotta pay. Cell equipment, trained service personnel, backhaul, spectrum, etc aren't free. If you want a fancy new LTE network, and better HSPA/HSPA+ speeds and reliability, shouldn't you be willing to pay for it?

Also, to all the complainers about Comcast throttling, let me inform you of something interesting. There's no such thing as an "unlimited" data connection anywhere on the planet. Everyone pays for peering and interconnect bandwidth somewhere, and that cost is billed per GB. I do think that there should be the option of allowing users to buy more bandwidth if they go over the cap (like, umm, exactly what AT&T is currently doing), but just like everything else in life, you gotta pay to play.

Yea, interconnect/peering bandwidth is in actuality quite cheap, like < $0.05/GB and yes ISPs (wired and wireless) will always overcharge customers... but again, nothing is free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] namklak:
I have two G2x running 2.2.2 stock and have at least 1 battery pull per week. I can live with it, but my wife is a med pro and is on call. She can't pull her G2x out of her purse and find it's been dead (black screen, no key response, sometimes hot next to camera lens) for who knows how long.

I recently discovered that dayly commanded reboots may reduce the problem.

She NEEDS her phone - I can't spend time trying a thousand ROMs to fix the problem. Has anyone specifically fixed this problem by switching to a specific ROM? She does not need a2dp but does use GPS and camera. I NEED a2dp but may live with stock rom.

I personally believe this problem is a driver or app is going out to lunch, hammering a chip. After battery pull, the battery meter shows noticable reduction.

Other options are we can still bring our phones back to CostCo - should I get my wife another G2x? An HTC?

Thanks for any "desing of experiments" input. Like, "I had this problem and used this ROM or loaded this driver or ??? and the problem went away".

I can live with spurious reboots - just can't have battery pulls.

Please and thanx!

-Bob
[T-Mobile LG G2x] g0dsgreen:
Since I've upgraded to 2.3.3, I've yet to pull my battery. Hopefully it stays that way.

Im running Cm7 nightly 93...runs flawless so far with no problems...idk what causes it but i do know its annoying
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Your best bet is to request a replacement from T-Mobile. I used to have that problem as well. I even got Asurion insurance just in case.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masteromixes:
running cm7 and when I plug in the usb from my pc, it shows the phone charging but that's it. anyone know of a fix? I want to be able to mount the phone again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
go under USB setting and select Mass Storage...it happened to me three times...I am using Revolution Rom...I am not exactly sure where you would find USB setting under CM7....mine is under wireless and network...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawika:
Also check ur USB debugging settings. Could be a faulty cord as well. So many variables its hard to tell.

if you have GB bootloader installed you have to go back to froyo bootloader...or else ur sd won't work....if you wanna stay on GB bootloader then you have to install a GB based rom...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfxdeimos:
I was wondering if anyone had any guidance on rooting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE version from Verizon.

I was hoping for some sort of documented / verified process before starting on mine, as my experience with rooting Android devices is limited and didn't want to end up with a brick.

If anyone could post about their experiences with their Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance!

When I go to enter a contact the only fields available to me are:

Name:

Phone number

Email address

I use to get a screen full of fields including a place to put a photo?

What has happened? Where can I go to get the area that I can put in multiple phone numbers, birthdays, anniversary, address, IM, assign a group, ringtones etc.

I am LOST...

Thanks

I recently bought my Galaxy Mini and before this I had another Android so I felt prove the safety of other roms or upgrade to a newer version of the OS .. I tried the 2.3, 2.3.4 of samfirmware.com also install the rom id 3.2 and CyanogenMod 7 ..

The problem I have is that when I'm using the cell the display goes dark and lights brighter plus now when I try to enter the camera restarts ..

I think the problem is software for screen true what I tried booting from the 2.3 and since then I have, what the camera is more recent I think after trying CyanogenMod. I can not I install version 2.2 and it's just a tarball I put it in "single packet" after the install the cell or even turn on, I get the battery and go into download mode and flash with odin to revive . At present the use of samfimrware.com 2.3.4 (S5570XXKPI_SERKPI_XXKPI)

If anyone knows the solution or suggestion please agredeceré him much help.

1. I think maybe going back to version 2.2 to solve it. (If you know one way)

2. Installing a ROM of Latin America. (Where I get one?)

3 .. Mail service.?

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Duvel999:

but I really would like to have the one on WB 2.2.1 v009..:D

that one is much nicer

tried it..

can't find the gps widget in it?

can it be made transparant?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csjhun:
my vote goes to switchpro too, its save the widget list automatic to sdcard, and can read it after every new flash.

there is some settings options, including transparent ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sarmad23:
Yesterday after bricking my phone, I recovered it by going into download mode and flashing gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJVQ but I've noticed that now I'm getting much weaker wifi signals. I only get full bars if i stand like within 5m of the router and I've checked with my other cell phone to check if the router is fine, which it is. So is this like some problem with gingerbread and is there a fix ? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Prasad:
Try another ROM, maybe a custom ROM... ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Sarmad23:
I'd be willing to flash another rom but can anyone confirm if it will fix my problem. Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] simbaorka:
First of all I am putting this here because i am new and cant post to development so I think it would be a good idea to make a new gingerbread for xperia x10 mini and mini pro now that x10 gingerbread released.Someone could make it exactly the same(if possible)with just few optimisations so that flash could work etc...
[XPERIA X10 General] lansingone:
Its harder than you think, it may very well be possible, but it requires a port that would be much the same as the arc port to the x10 its from an xperia model, but it wont run on other models perfectly. You most likely wont have camera support above vga, and it will likely always be full of bugs. The current x10 mini roms with gb and froyo are going to be no different than the new x10 gb running on the mini.
[XPERIA X10 General] abeeson:
Pretty sure there are problems with hardware as well (the X10 mini etc have a 600mhz processor i think? Ram might be an issue too)

I'm sure if it can be done there will be a dev somewhere who will.

Also, i think there is a X10 mini forum, this probably belongs in there.

And finally - Wooooh! 10 posts, dev forum here i go. I know the pain man... :( The only things of any "real" value i have to add were in teh dev forums...
[XPERIA X10 General] abeeson:
And in unrelated news, i still cant post to the dev forums, maybe it needs to update something, or you need > 10 posts... :(
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
Ok please dont start flaming me, its just my opinion after all ;)

I received my first SGSII 6 weeks ago, and as flash addict (because of my previous sgs), I started to itch and I had mucsle cramps and my mouth drooling. this was 2 weeks after

From that moment I realised that I have to start over rooting my device & then flashing it (to get my daily fix). I did my homework for 2 days (thx to the great devs and the wonderful community here) & then rooted it. the experience is easy and straight forward.

2 days after I started flashing different awesome roms, all of them r great with very solid form factor. However, my phone front speaker was not clear and after asking here i found that I need to replaced it (special thanks to JJe who is dedicated to help)

My experience

After receiving a new phone and playing with it for around 2 wk now, I was able to realise that the advantages in rooting+flashing the awesome SGSII are very marginal, in contrast to the old sgs. In fact this device has cured my addiction, for now ;););) and im having a real life again :cool::cool:

yes, I miss titanium, CWM, the beautiful theming of the new roms, file explorer, quick reboot, gps aids and few others. Nevertheless, the device is fast, snappy with crisp experience out of the box.

My advice

1- Dont listen to people who r *****ing about the phone all the time because this phone is almost perfect but not perfect though.

2- Dont, I repeat Dont root+/-flash ur device unless u reached the point of understanding the advantages of doing so

Disclaimer :

I held no responsible what so ever if I caused u any pain by reminding u with ur addiction
[Galaxy S II General] cashisback:
But Cyanogen and Miui.
[Galaxy S II General] hbkmog:
Second.

The stock Touchwiz UI has a LONG way to go to match the aesthetics and usability of MIUI or CM.
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
they r wonderful (actually i had them both on my sgs) but they r so immature to be used on this phone yet.
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Generally pretty damn true.

But you forgot the best reason ever to root, because you can!
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
The advantages of rooting imho are: cwm, titanium backup, access to the conf files, adfree, and some more. I don't care about custom roms, the stock is good, you can freeze unnecessary stuff and instal other kernels or launchers.

[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
yes we can hahahaaaaaaaaaa
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
But the question is, can u live happily without them ?
[Galaxy S II General] hbkmog:
Even still not that stable, but the usability still blows the stock ROM out of water, especially MIUI.

[Galaxy S II General] commodoor:
Root can be really nice if you know what you doing. I fully agree with the op. But again I'm sure the most people know what they are doing. My GSII is not rooted this is the first time I didn't modify the phone for my own needs.

The galaxy is perfect as it is. I miss titanium, cyanogenmod etc. Bug I have a solid os. I really don't need any root (atleast for now).

I read all the issues on xda and I must say I have none of them. No random boots I have great battery life 1 day heavy usage. I had no lag what so ever.

This phone is great as it is. I have nothing against rooting but I won't recommended to normal users
[Galaxy S II General] mdalacu:
In some countries if you don't have root you can't use "market enabler" for you to update Google Maps.
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
well said sir ;)
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
i love those as well but will u live happily without their existence, anyway i might change my ideas later (in 6 months time) to root my device:eek::eek:
[Galaxy S II General] drreality:
this world is not about rooting only, tons of apps and upgrades r going on without the need for a root access.

however, rooting is a double edge weapon dont use it until u understand it+plus u need to watch what r installing on ur phone as they will have more access than u know ;)

fair enough , if u need then do it
[Galaxy S II General] Dj21o:
I have rooted three phones, and I have loved them. Uninstalling system apps, under/overclocking, and using cachecleaner would be the only thing I do to this monster of a phone.

I have installed custom ROMs and kernels, but those take a while to manage. The kernel in the GS2 seems to be just as good as the Epic (which lasts my mom about 2 days). She has everything on, and I am underclocking the phone just slightly. So you can only imagine what kind of level this phone is on.

I was going to get a WP7, but Android + Samsung = Win for me. Especially the hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] d3l1:
All my friends that have an SGS2 and my girlfriend are happy without rooting, so I guess you can ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Propergood:
Agree completely.. Tempted to root again once CM is stable, but expect I will return to stock. It's just good.
[Galaxy S II General] Endoran:
I only rooted for tit backup. I didn't want to lose all my data that google can't store. Other than that I have stock rom, just the kernel is slightly modified. I understand the risks but all you need is common sense. Like with email, don't click on a link or open an attachment if you don't know the source or if you do and it looks suspicious. I think ROOTING is a must, not custom roms tho. Yet. Mho.

[Galaxy S II General] ante0:
And the ability to underclock?

And to remove samsungs bloatware?

You'd lose lots of things without root...
[Galaxy S II General] ushare:
I kinda agree. Cause it doesnt take the S2 long to root. Unless you know why you need it.. theres no point. Most people think you need to root to install apks found from the internet. Others think it makes the device faster.

Me personally, I like my s2 rooted. Then theres no worry. Just flash a rom and go..

Thats just my 2cents worth..
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
i don't agree but see why you'd say it.

i didn't bother rooting my sgs2 for 2 weeks or so. it wasn't annoying, the sammie apps didn't take valuable space and the phone was snappy as hell as it was anyway.

i rooted in the end to freeze the apps and get setcpu running once again.
[Galaxy S II General] biffsmash:
Personally, after finally trying Custom Roms and Rooting on my HTC Desire, I decided rooting and roms arent for me.

Everyone raved about rooting and roms on HTC Desire, promising faster phone, stable roms, it was nonsense lol. The custom roms on that phone were no where near as stable as the stock and if they were faster, it would take data from star trek to measure the difference lol.

As for bloatware, in a phone this fast, with such a huge memory, can't say i'd ever personally need to root to save space or attempt to speed up the phone.

Video talk is another matter, I don't use it and never have, and cant believe people do, but it is a missing feature so I can understand rooting for this.
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
They were great on older phones.

but for now, on SGS2, i don't even see the point to believe they are "almighty".

Loosing BT functionnalities, 1080p video capability and other things ( for now, i hope for them that they will solve that) aren't a trade-off acceptable with the SGS2.

They are too young for now.

I respect the work their developpers put into it(fully open-source, they have my respect for that).

the main thing I can't stand about those two roms, are their followers.
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
custom roms aren't nonsense. oxygen on my desire was leaps and bounds more responsive than stock. it also tripled battery life for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Amrael:
but for now ? on the SGS2 ?

they almost all have the same functionnalities added, and only differenciate themselves with their theming.

it's as if i would call myself a developper cause i'm able to use UOTKitchen and correct the unchanged .png in some apks given back by it.....
[Galaxy S II General] yorkmolko:

+1! No Root= no AdFree and no LBE Privacy Guard.

You you don't care about any app putting flashy advertising in your phone and gathering your contacts, call logs, messages, GPS location, and much more, then you don't need root at all. But remember, your life will be an open book!

I'm quite happy without advertising and with a minimum standard of privacy... :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
I agree with drreality,

Phone is fast, and I really like the stock rom and everything else.

1d and 10 hours is my avg. battery life so I guess watchdog is doing a good job.

BUT,

as a lot of you guys said, stock rom IS enough, but you do need to root for those reasons:

1. LBE Privacy Guard (Like angelomaldito mentioned, privacy is an issue for me and I think most of the ppl out there).

2. AdFree Android (as faildroid said)

3. SetCPU - is a must, save battery life PERIOD.

4. Titanium Backup - I really can't find a better backup then this one.

5. removing samsung bloatware (like ante0 mentioned).

As for me, I just moved from Symbian (after 5 years) to Android (WOW!), and I didn't root my device YET.

I do want to root my device because of the reasons above (if you have better or more reasons be my guest).
[Galaxy S II General] ajftl:
Totally agreed here. I'm like u with flashing and roms. But since I got this Phone I just don't feel the needs for flashing. Phone just works awesome and everything works and works no issues.... LOL funny I still have a ns a n1 a tbolt and a focus. I keep playing with them instead. Lol.

And when MIUI its completely finish or close to 100% working rom I would try on my Sgs2

Cm7 its just to plain for a gs2.
[Galaxy S II General] mogambo000:
Me too, touchwiz is great. IMO its much better than stock android.

I dont know why a lot of people dislike touchwiz for?
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I rooted my phone within an hour of getting it,it's most definitely in peoples best interests to do so given the many different reasons as explained already on this thread,freezing the Samsung bloatware alone will save you hours in battery life not to mention all the other reasons.
[Galaxy S II General] Sleepycat3:
Had the same feelings as the OP when I got my SGS2 in early May. Held off until the TegraHD games started flooding the market. So wanting to run Chainfire3D pushed me to root the phone and after that, I was never going back. The advantages of a full image backup through CWM recovery, being able to play Tegra games, being able to back up apps and settings are well worth rooting, which takes 30 seconds using CF-Root. Well done to the OP though for standing by his beliefs and opinion.
