[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
Unfortunately, people leaving T-Mobile for other carriers further justifies the acquisition in the eyes of the committees, being as T-Mobile 'needs' AT&T to 'rescue' them from their lack of profit due to losing customers. Of course, most of the gaping wound the customers are leaving through was created by AT&T's lovely commercials designed to convince the populace the deal is already signed and done, when the truth is quite the opposite.

Sadly, the more people leave and the fewer new customers T-Mobile gets every day is moving the deal closer and closer to becoming a reality :/

O, and as a side note, I'm sick of people calling this deal a merger. This is not a merger. The nicest word you can give this is 'acquisition'. It is closer to a buy and butcher program. A merger implies something will remain of T-Mobile on every level, especially upper management. DT is simply trying to offload T-Mobile onto the highest bidder, which just happened to be the reanimated corpse of Ma Bell. If any of AT&T's other acquisitions are anything to go by, especially considering how little of T-Mobile's current network AT&T actually needs, this is a situation of a company purely buying another to remove competition. AT&T will be closing a huge number of redundant stores and dismantling even more cell towers across the company they don't actually need. They will sell off the property and lay off at least 40-60% of the also redundant employees (including me) they don't need due to most of their facilities being practically next door to ours.

The USA will no longer have a choice of GSM carriers, which will remove all hope of having phones that can use the same frequencies and switching SIM cards when you please to leave an abusive carrier. AT&T's only real competition will be Verizon, which they have been closely following each others prices for years now. If you think you're paying a lot for a cell plan now, wait until AT&T is back in charge of pricing with no T-Mobile to cut under the price wall. T-Mobile has been losing profits because they've been trying to drag AT&T's prices down AND build massive improvements out to their network, while AT&T sits on a ridiculous amount of cash to fight the price battle with and hasn't been building their network out by choice. Not only that, but AT&T controls a HUGE chunk of the pipes in the USA that carriers have to lease from them in order to have backhaul to the tower. AT&T has been jacking the prices up on the backhaul but refusing to upgrade their equipment to allow other carriers to get better bandwidth to the site. There are no problems like that leasing backhaul from companies that don't compete directly with T-Mobile, AT&T just does it because they can and they have the biggest stick (huge sums of capital, political and corporate lackeys, etc) to beat competitors around with.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] CESAROX:
I've had every carrier (including Cricket and Boost) except for Verizon, and T-Mobile has been the best provider in terms of coverage and customer service I've had. I hope this aqusition doesn't go through. I can't see myself paying for tiered data plans and I'd hate to have to go back to sprint for unlimited plans seeing as the photon is their new flagship device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Not only that but it would cost to break contact, for me id have to pay sprint a deposit etc..

So leaving isn't a option for me..

Only.1gsm carrier and no choices is just stupid. I really hope this **** don't go through cause I hate att...

Hey everyone,

This may seem like a noob question, but how do you alter the navigation configuration when building CWM? My recovery image I built seems to operate on the tilt of the accelerometer instead of any navigation keys. I didn't see anything in the device configurations that would lead me to a quick fix. I need to change the up and down navigation to the volume keys. Thanks!

[Atrix 4G General] Haphim:
I had a new phone on 2.3.4. The first thing I tried to do was to unlock it by RSD flashing the unlock sbf from the main pudding thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261).

The initial process seemed to go okay, but I think when the phone was supposed to reboot, it ended up giving me a boot failure message (0x1000, if I remember correctly).

So, I tried the "fastboot oem unlock" command anyway, and it worked.

I tried to RSD flash the full 2.3.4 sbf from brandon15811's thread, but RSD gave an error, something about not being able to find the handle or something.

So, the next thing I did was to see if I could flash RomRacer's CWM via fastboot, and that seemed to work, too.

After that, if I tried to reboot, I would get the motorola startup screen and the word "unlocked", but it just seems to stay there.

I'm about to see if I can use the recovery to flash the full 2.3.4 sbf from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138204).

Is that the right way to try to fix this, or is there something else I should try?
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
If you have cwm just use samcripp's fruitcakes and see if that works.
[Atrix 4G General] Haphim:
I haven't confirmed it works yet, but if it does, why those builds instead of brandon15811's?
[Atrix 4G General] msd24200:
Sbf flashing is dangerous and not recommended
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
Unlocking an atrix already on 2.3.4 will give you a soft brick, its been confirmed many times. No way around it. Find the fruit cakes thread as msd24200 stated. Any recovery will work. If you do the full 2.3.4 sbf you can't rds back to an older build our even if you try the 2.3.4, that would give you a hard brick. If your unlocked just go for one of the great roms available.
[Atrix 4G General] Haphim:
I did a lot of reading before doing this, and somehow, I never came across that particular fact. Ai! Well, thank you for pointing that out!

So, here's a question then... I have another phone that has 1.83 on it. What's the best way to upgrade that to 2.3.4, unlocked and rooted? Should I follow the same path I did here, do the OTA update, unlock and brick via the unlock sbf, flash a recovery, then apply a fruitcake?

Or is there a better way? I've heard that the 2.3.4 update resizes the partitions, and that seems like a good thing, so I'm not sure I want a path that avoids that.

What do you think?
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
why bother to update if you're going to downgrade it again?

the unlocker SBF if 1.8.3, and the phone is on 1.8.3, so flash that. then install 2.3.4 via CWM with a fruitcake. done.
[Atrix 4G General] Haphim:
Unce I've unlocked the phone on 1.8.3, would it be better to do the OTA update for 2.3.4, and then root? Is this even possible?

One important question, if I apply the CWM fruitcake over 1.83. will it resize the partitions the way the OTA update would?
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
I don't believe so, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in all honesty there is no reason to use fruitcakes if you don't plan on going back to an older build. Even if you mess something up flashing roms you can go into recovery and restore a backup and your good to go. The only way I've seen a hardbrick is from going back with rsd.

I would unlock then ota to 2.3.4 then install romracers cwm and then your free to flash pre rooted stock roms or cherry (3.14) or alien rom.
[Atrix 4G General] Gutterball:
Nevermind 10char
[Atrix 4G General] Dirtburgler:
I could see flashing back to an older build beneficial to a developer but not your everyday user and rom flasher. Both methods will get you to the same place, fruitcake or ota. I know there are benefita doing the ota like partition size and some other tweaks but I'm not 100% what those benefits are.

I jumped in early and got the leaked ota before we knew of the hard brick issue and like I said I'm still rocking the same atrix I bought back in march.
[Atrix 4G General] Haphim:
Thanks! If that's an okay route to take, then that's what I'll do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintballa628628:
Hi, I recently was using my nexus one and the green trackball light just automatically turned on (solid color not flashing). I cannot get it to turn of no matter what I do. I have already tried wiping, reflashing, battery pull, and hard reset. The green light turns on immediately after powering on the device. Any help is much appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Very strange I've herd of a red light that wouldn't turn out it's sign of a hardware problem (water damage I think) but never a green one :confused:

What were you doing when it went on??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I have also heard of this problem (or at least I vaguely remember something like this). On the one I remember, it turns out that some piece got bent and came into contact with something from the trackball. It required taking the phone apart to remedy it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_dukk:
I had a similar thing a few times: After confirming green notification light (by GoSMS), it has been glowing further at very low brightness. It only went off when disabling TB Notification in setup menu.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintballa628628:
Last night the green light started flickering while charging, but this morning it was solid green again... it really is annoying and is a battery drain.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edfungus:
I am going to assume you have cm7 or cm something. If you go into the trackball notification menu when you can choose color and what not, select the application in where you picked green. Then hit "flash test" and hit "ok" when the light is off.

It got stuck for me too and this is how I fixed it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinebubble:
Paintball, did you fix this? Mine also displays green 24x7 and causes serious battery drain. My daughter drooled quite a bit on the dock charging connectors, so I suspect something is shorted, but it's also been dropped (same person responsible for the drooling), so something could be bent as well. FWIW, I have no trackball alerts set.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedevillela:
Stuck in the green as well...

I have the exact same problem! In this case my girlfriend drowned the phone with lemon gatorade on her beach purse our last vacation a week ago, so I believe that's the problem: something is wrong inside the N1. I'm going to a phone repair shop see what can be done. :eek:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlazinApes:
I decided to update my rooted x10a from generic 2.1 to Wolfbreak 2.3.3. I installed xRecovery and Busy box couple weeks ago. I made a backup of my 2.1 ROM with xRecovery. Yesterday, I put 2.3.3 on and flashed. Everything was fine except I had no contacts and whatnot on phone as usually happens. Had trouble getting into Market and even tried creating new account, no luck. I rebooted then and went into xRecovery thinking I could restore certain data. I chose the wrong Restore and it started and said Checking MD5 sum, then it was putting my previous backup on phone. At this point was like "oh no" and driving car to work. Now its at the SonyEricsson screen and keeps rebooting. I've gone back into xRecovery and tried Factory Reset, Wipe Cache part. and Wipe Dalvik. Then to Install custom zip, I choose from SD card and WolfGB2.3TWv3.5.

It says Installing: Finding update package... E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (Device or resource busy)

E:Cant mount SDCARD:WolfGB2.3TWv3.5.zip Installation aborted.

Tried hooking up to computer today and even when trying to get into Flash mode it goes in but after 2-3 minutes, it reboots.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as at this moment I have had to go back to using my SE w810i (good phone but no android)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasei:
Can't you use the flashtool and flash SE 2.1 firmware? Or SEUS? You said after 2-3 minutes the phone (seemingly automatically) reboots, but does it reboot even when you are in the middle of flashing a ROM?

You should be able to start from the beginning as long as you can get the phone into flashing mode.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlazinApes:
After playing some games on computer, went back and reflashed it to 2.1. Now hopefully will be able to get back to 2.3.3, this time wont be a bonehead. Thanks for help dude!

Hello everyone,

I'm now a proud owner of Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi version. I also happen to have HTC Touch HD with a Energy WM6.5 ROM.

I would like to find a way (or an app, ideally:) ) that would allow me to control the phone from the tablet, via Bluetooth (or wifi if needs to be). Typing sms is the main concern, however it won't be unwelcome to being able to also realize phone calls that way.

So far I haven't found anything that would connect Android and WM and was wondering if anyone was luckier than me.

Thank you for any hints.

I had no major problems or anything of that kind; 3G data works fine, GPS, navigation with CoPilot, etc... so everything works just fine and the biggest reason I stayed with it is it's battery - it is ridiculously GOOD! I get 1.5-2 days easily with my usage which tents to be most usage of web usage - not much talking to be quite honest.
