[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
Thanks for allowing me to clarify, at this point, I'll certainly take all the input I can get but recently I started using tether pretty heavily due to photography for my kids sports and also acquiring an ipad. I finished last month with just under 8GB, to the point the MyVerizon both online and in the app still reads as being around 8GB even tho my cycle was supposed to reset 2 days ago. Because I went over 5GB or maybe even 6 or 7 of the 8 total GB I used last month were more than likely in the past week or so, I have a feeling my understanding of throttling is off. I have had my data conectivity be super shotty and in some cases, downloads and uploads are failing entirely.

We can obviously all speculate on whether they can see Wireless Tether (cheated, not paying) and such, but the usage doesn't lie. Hoping to speak to other users that actually use it heavily and their experiences as for how throttling works and if they experience any other subtle things to be aware of, that's all. Way more long winded than it needed to be, my bad on the novel.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I cleared 25 gig last month. No signs of throttling so far as I can tell.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
Damn, 25GB, no ****... what are you streaming/tethering if I may ask, an xbox360/ps3?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I watched about 5 seasons of "The X Files", a movie or 2, and some "Breaking Bad".
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
the most i've done is nearly 20GB and that's with 3G. never got anything from verizon in regards to usage.

once 4G is available here i'm probably going to do a hell of a lot more then that and we'll see then.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
i have 4g and ive used 5 gb in one day downloading a game and no throttling (rooted using wireless tether). to clarify "throttling" is when they slow down your internet because your using it too much. this happens regardless of whether or not your paying to tether because they do it for just the data you use on your phone as well, but sometimes it takes a while for them to catch it or they never even do. they cant tell that your using wireless tether specifically, but they can tell your using a lot of data so they will throttle you. if your worried about them charging you for going over your data limit, just remove the tethering feature and use wireless tether. then if you go over just tell them it was all on your phone and theres no way they can prove you wrong since according to them you cant be tethering since your not paying them for there services. thank god for rooting though eh? ;)

Please state your question in complete sentences using proper English.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
Wrote that from my phone dip**** and that wasn't a question, the larger question was addressed earlier in the thread.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
no need to start a war by cursing (it's also against xda rules). Your sentence did not make sense (with or without shortened words). I recommend a better keyboard like swiftkey or swype if your current one is too hard to use. It just makes it harder to help when one has to guess what you are saying.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satseaker:
well they are doing something,as soon as I hit 20gigs full brakes down to 3g speed on 4g network,that was about 8 says ago,and now this morning gettin 15+ down in sioux falls
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
Reading the sentence again:

"Please only actual use cases not hypotheticals of actual rooted tethering (non-paying). Use Wireless Tether."

Please only actual use cases (are you familiar w/ this term?, not USE as in to-use something, use-CASES.. examples, specifics, I think you missed how I intended that. No typos there but definitely could've been worded better.)

Please only actual use cases not hypotheticals (self explanatory? Referring to people that are actually tethering in the same fashion, not someone that wants to paste in language from our agreements or can technically confirm Verizon can't see/prove our usage, but from other users actually doing what I'm doing.)

Please only actual use cases not hypotheticals of actual rooted tethering (non-paying). Use Wireless Tether." (this one need explaining too? see above re: hypotheticals)

Given, the sentence wasn't written well but in seeing some of this Sam guys other posts, he apparently gets off by jumping in and offering majority of times criticism over actual substance to be helpful.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
Lol, calm down dude :) . I do agree with you that the other guy reminds me of the old guy in a neighborhood that screams at kids to very off his lawn. Sometimes he posts useful stuff, but mostly just angry stuff.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNak206:
All good man, I'm calm. If I could just tether and feel "safe" about it (getting there, but still not 150% like I'd PREFER to be) and wish this headset mic worked..

Other than that, about to take off work and enjoy my 5 day!

so i take it we shouldnt use our phones to download PS3 games?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squeakyl:
no idea if my input is pertinent, but here it is

Rooted/nonpaying, 28gb. was mostly from dual streaming MLG Anaheim starcraft last month. Did not experience any slowing down or notice.

You using the stock sense ROM ? i had this problem as well where i was never given the choice to mount and even when i selected it in settings it still did not matter, all it would do was charge my phone, HTC sync never worked either.

Never found a solution so switched to a different ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] controlpete:
ok but how did you do it? I cant switch to another rom because I cant get to recovery. I tried Amon and clockwork I made several attempts with one success.

So pls tell me how you did it?

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstylazz:
there is a super one click root app, use that first, then install clockwork, now you will have root access, then you are free to flash any rom compatible with the hero.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byproxy:
So I'm looking to pick up an "mp3" player. I put that in quotes because I want to be using my music service on it... not just play actual mp3 files. Obviously my phone works great for this but I'm looking for something small that I don't really care about taking out on the trail/river/etc.

Anyway, wondering what the smallest, android based player might be that has some active xda development. I love custom roms on my phone so would enjoy hacking this device as well.

I'm looking for something with wifi... but NOT any cell capabilities - though obviously if it'll function fine without cell service then I don't care if it has them or not.

Right now, I was looking into the Archos 43. It's still kind of big though (4.3" display)... so I was hoping there might be something smaller out there with some active development.

Thanks!!

Not going to happen I'd say.

Most PMPs have only one sole purpose. Play Music. A screen smaller than 4 inches means, it'd be useless for anything else other than Music. I'd say go for an iPod that supports iOS apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nibras_reeza:
Yea, that'd do as well. But, sometimes, the sound quality of most mobile phones stand up to that of a mp3 player. That should be taken into account as well. As a thumb rule, Motorola phones have good sound quality.

Just search around if you want a phone. You might find even cheaper phones.

OK, so this is a port of MattedBlues, made by me. I did it for someone, it wasn't my intention to publish it, but I thought many of you would want it.
​

I am waiting for jabbawalkie's approval for this port. He hasn't answered yet. If he decides to take this theme down, I will delete it​

Big thanks go to Team Matted Blues for their work. I created many elements by myself, but looking like the original. So the full credits go to jabbawalkee so donate to him if you love the look of the well known, MattedBlues.

If you like my work, consider giving me a beer.​

[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
Would This Work ("Workaround" to Receive Latest Kies Updates Where Not Available)?

Hey everyone,

So, I have a Galaxy S2 on Virgin Mobile Canada, and in Canada, the latest firmware/kernel was KG2, and we all know that KG2 is slightly old, compared to KH3 (or higher, I'm not sure atm) in Europe.

Now, we all know that Europe is the first to receive OFFICIAL updates to the latest firmware/kernel via Samsung Kies.

What I'm thinking is that I can change the "Region Code" on my device, to 'trick' Kies into thinking I'm located in Europe, and then it will deliver to me the latest OFFICIAL firmware/kernel update. After updating, I can install the stock KG2 modem for Bell/Virgin (if you're located in a different country, just use your local modem/baseband) via Odin. Then I can use CF-Root Kernel to root my device, then revert back to stock.

This way, I have a Galaxy S2 with the latest official firmware/kernel, a modem that still works perfectly with my provider/network, and root, with no yellow triangle! :D

However, I don't wish to mess anything up, so I haven't tried this yet. Do you guys think that it can work, and is a viable option instead of waiting for official updates to come to my region? Can anyone maybe try this and post their results/findings (or maybe someone has already done this?)? Also, would all apps like "Samsung Apps" and the Android Market still work properly, as in for my region? What other problems could I possibly run into? I'm mostly concerned about the Market...
[Galaxy S II General] loggy:
I got my S2 free ! from Orange UK 5 days ago, love it, what an upgrade from my 18 months used X10 .

Anyway they do what you want with the X10 so I suppose it can be done with S2 though I dont know for sure.

I used to follow the X10 forum (here now) though I left my X10 stock and was happy with it but I rooted this the 3rd day already and unlocked the simlock ready for my Holiday next week ;) = super low cost local data (50p uk per gig).

What a great device this is :) !!
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
Or you can just tell kies to stuff it and flash roms via odin.

Once you update with kies, changing the modem will mean you wont automatically get new updates anyway, as it wont recognise the firmware combination.
[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
So, you're saying that using Odin would be much easier?

Also, I've heard that the KH3 modem works really well with Bell/Virgin, but incase I need to revert, I can always use Odin to flash the KG2 modem while keeping my KH3 kernel/firmware, right?

So, if I just download the Europe KH3 firmware from "http://samfirmware.com", then I just use Odin to flash it, and I'm done? Will it wipe any of my data? Also, would the European firmware work in Canada?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
If you have the i9100T You need to use one of the T stock modems or your wifi/bluetooth/data wont work very well/at all (so i hear), but yes you can mix and match rom+kernel and modems from different releases without any problems.

As far as getting a rom, grab a non wipe version from this thread and you should keep everything.
[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
I have the i9100M. I have heard great reports of the KH3 modem with it, so I'm pretty confident it'll work fine. :)

So, I just download the KH3 files from that link, and then flash via Odin?

Is it a must to flash the CSC as well, or can I leave that out?
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
The M is fine to use any modem/rom, it will change the model code to just i9100 though, might be changed back by flashing the stock firmware though.

Yes flash via odin.

No you dont need to flash the CSC unless you get problems, but you might as well, the worst that can happen is that you need to manually enter your APN settings.
[Defy General] Crezt:
I just got an MB525 with Android 2.2.2 and the SOC camera module (doh?).

I'm fairly happy aside from it freezing up once in a while and that I'm not crazy about MOTOBLUR. However, I can turn in this one for free and wait for the new one to arrive (beginning of September?), which should cost about the same. What's your take on the Defy+ (or is that Plus)? When can we expect the phone to go on sale in Northern-Europe? What would you advise me to do? Which phone offers the most?

And a couple of random n00bish questions:

1. My GF managed to push those two "buttons/knobs" behind the battery cover. A sticker on the cover said one shouldn't, does it matter? What does it do?

2. Is there a simple way to remove some of the pre-installed apps, such as Amazon MP3, YouTube, 3G Mobile Hotspot, etc? If not, is there a way to rearrange the "home menu" (containing all the app icons) to put the less relevant apps further down?

Thanks a bunch good folks! :)
[Defy General] zakoo2:
defy+ is basically an overclocked, red lensed defy with a slightly better battery.

differences:

- defy+ is running on 1GHz by default, but you can easily overclock the defy

- defy+ has 1700mAh battery, but you can buy that for defy too

- defy+ has bayer module/red lens, which enables 720p recording

decide whether you need these things or not. my advice is to install cm7 on it, and dont even think about using the stock rom. (cm7 is lightyears ahead of any stock rom, and it runs the same on defy and defy+)

1. which buttons are you talking about?

2. you have to root your phone to remove preinstalled apps i think.

and i really recommend you to use "launcherpro", which is (one of) the best launchers out there. way faster than stock, gives you the option to hide apps from the appdrawer, and many other things. try it!
[Defy General] gplock:
My girl just got an insurance replacement it came with a red lens?
[Defy General] pachuau86:
if it cost the same, then get the Defy+

But where i live, Defy+, apart from it being not released yet, is much more expensive (or rather Original Defy is offered at a low discount), so i opted to go for the Defy, with some tweaks, it will be the same as Defy+ performance wise...

A better battery and 720p video sounds nice!

By the way, how is it recommended to charge the battery the first times?
[Defy General] MrBelter:
The Defy+ doesnt record 720p by default i dont think.
[Defy General] thiagobolivar:
I'm very happy about my defy, but if i were to buy a new device now, it doesn't be a defy+. There are a lot of other devices with a better cost/benefit.
[Defy General] kbxdauser2011:
r u guys sure that defy+ 1700mAh battery will fit into the defy?
[Defy General] MrBelter:
it is the same model number so it has to really or it would cause many problems for everyone from the retailers to the users.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
if i were about to buy a new device right now, it would be the defy (not the defy+), cuz its still one of the best phones on the market right now! (and it definitely has the best value/price) :D

[Defy General] kbxdauser2011:
bump....does any1 have any idea here?
[Defy General] sudipt123:
The same question had crossed my mind! Just got the defy and was thinking to retrofit the defy+ battery when available in my region.
[Defy General] pachuau86:
i dont think we can say for sure until it actually comes out... expected in september i think??
[Defy General] zakoo2:
i saw a video of a defy+ using the same bf5x battery as ours. the difference is, that battery is li-ion polymer, thats why it has a bigger capacity. so theoretically the defy will have no problem running on those batteries.

sent from my cm7 defy...
[Defy General] Sigray:
I'm sure its ok for the Defy too.
[Defy General] I-S:
The problems of freezing up/lagging are resolved and then some by CM7. I wonder perhaps if defy isn't a better choice because we don't yet know how CM7 will go on the defy+ - or if it even can.
[Defy General] hbksabhi:
it will be so good if the battery fits :D i ll buy one !!
[Defy General] ryan8r:
If it opens up for a reasonable price Defy+ is not a bad update for old Defy users simply looking for a replacement , Nevertheless is still a ripoff !!
[Defy General] saiftheboss7:
Just knew it'd be 234euro on UK market. Just 1 question...Can Defy's CyanogenMOD be installed on Defy+?
[Defy General] ryan8r:
Defy+ will be shipped with 2.3 (godknowswhat build) preinstalled so until they find a way to root and downgrade to Nordic froyo, I guess we'll have to wait.
