Got Reply from T-Mobile

I called T-Mobile CSR this morning and was fed with following msg:

1. GT540 is not capable of using T-Mobile data service (2G or 3G). (WTH?!)

2. ... unless you UPGRADE to a $30/m plan which is consistent with this phone (mine is currently $10/m unlimited 3G).

Actually, I can use the browser to reach the T-Mobile web2go.com. After that, you can either CANCEL or UPGRADE. I guess this shows they just want more $$ out of my pocket before giving a GO.

Any idea I can circumvent this trap? Thanks!
[GT540 Optimus General] ChriisM:
You probly need to re-enter you apn to get your data plan to work. i have to do it all the time
[GT540 Optimus General] olite:
1. Load of crap, if it "wasn't capable" it would not register onto the network. It's a Quad-Band 2G phone, so it can access 99.99% of 2G Networks (Those that it can't access, use IMIE filtering to allow only devices they have sold to use their network)

2. Yer... NO, you already have a plan... which WILL work, it's just a matter of trial and error to find the right settings.

These are the 3 variations of the APN settings I can find for T-Mobile US, give them a shot and see if one of them doesn't work for you. They use 1700 MHZ/2100 MHz for 3G, the GT540 is 900mhz/2100mhz capable so it can access their 3G network (Altho maybe only in certain area's, you can check if you are on their 3G or 2G network in "Settings" -> "About Phone" -> "Status" and look at Network Type, GSM & EDGE = 2G, UMTS & HSPDA = 3G)... just needs to be set right. (Yer, they are just trying to raid your pockets... nothing new from T-Mobile)

If you are only getting 2G access (Which would only be due to their not using the 2100 mhz in your area, which is doubfull) then it is possible that the data plan will not work, if it's been set to work only with their 3G network. (Which knowing them... it just might be.)

Added Reference: (Source: Wikipedia)

Radio frequency spectrum bands accessible by T-Mobile USA customers using compatible devices

850 MHz - GSM/GPRS/EDGE - 2G - (GT540 is compatible)

1900 MHz - GSM/GPRS/EDGE - 2G - (GT540 is compatible)

1700 MHz/2100 MHz - UMTS (W-CDMA)/HSPA - 3G (Marketed as 4G) - (GT540 is 2100 MHz compatible) -- P.S. Gotta love their false advertising, selling 3G as 4G.

LG gt540 or not?

Hi there guys,

I'm considering buying the LG gt540, but I am not sure if it will work with the T-mobile 3g network? This phone only comes unlocked and I've read that unlocked phones, while they usually have no issue with talking/texting- the MMS (sending photos and using the internet) usually needs to be configured. So after configuration, it shouldn't have any issues right? I live in the USA by the way, and from what I understand this was released in Europe...while I love the style of this phone I am questioning the compatibility.

Thanks a bunch!
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
stock roms should have no problems with all this 3g data stuff but if you are going to upgrade to a custom rom then some will need to do all this config stuff but a custom rom that i know oxygen rom which is 2.3.7 comes with a whole list of apn(which is what they are talking above) preinstalled for you so no configs needed!!
[GT540 Optimus General] pinkhearts777:
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!

I am looking at this particular one on eBay: [okay since I am new I couldn't post the link yet as a rule, but if you go on eBay and search for "180756316547", you will see it haha]

OR

this one at n1 wireless: [could not post link yet since i am new] Go to the n1wireless.com and search for "LG gt540 pink" , thanks.

Although the second store received questionable ratings...

Do you know whether these are stock or custom roms?

If you scroll a bit down, the Pink one has a service for +$15.00 so that they will configure your phone to the T-mobile network for you. Is that worth paying for or can I do it myself easily? Thanks you guys are great!
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
you can do the configs yourself only if you know what it is but if you dont and you have a data bundle you can just bring it to the telco t-mobile or anything im sure they will do it for you for free since you paid for the line in the first place
[GT540 Optimus General] pinkhearts777:
Where is "Settings--->Wireless & Networks---> Mobile networks? I only see "Wireless Controls". The T-mobile rep helped me set up the 2g internet but is confused about how to do 3g/4g.

Thanks!
[GT540 Optimus General] pinkhearts777:
I still cannot get 3g..and I know some of you have gotten it to work. =(
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
What ROM are you using?

I used CM7.

To enable/disable 3G, go to settings. Select 'Wireless & Networks'. Select 'Mobile settings'. Scroll down. See if 'Use only 2G networks' is ticked. Untick it if you want 3G.
[GT540 Optimus General] pinkhearts777:
Hi there, the problem is, I don't even have the setting "Use only 2g networks". I am using Android version 1.6 (the default), maybe that's why?
[GT540 Optimus General] jhonnyx1000:
That's probably the reason for not having that setting. But I think you can change it. Do you have a widget called something like 'Power Control'. Try to add it. While adding it (it should have the options for adding each button), look for 2G/3G. Tick it then ok. It should be added to the home screen. Pressing it should make it switch between 2G and 3G. This feature maybe is not available to 1.6 but you can try to find this though.
[GT540 Optimus General] pinkhearts777:
3g in USA (T-mobile)

Thanks jhonny, I'm trying to download that widget now. I'm running 2.1, but probably going to go to 2.3.7 if my phone/ computer will cooperate with me. But could the reason be that you're from New Zealand (icon of flag, Auckland) so you do get 3g from your carrier and I'm in the USA so I don't get any from T-mobile due to the difference in frequency? Hmmm. I would like someone who lives in the USA who uses T-mobile to tell me that 3g will work. I've been messing with it for quite a while now... ._.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan_Aykroyd:
Hi there!

I have an I9000T that I've just flashed with a I9000 ROM. Since I've done that, now my boot (first) screen with the Samsung Galaxy text shows "I9000" instead of the previous "I9000T"

So, I've looked around here and other places and couldn't find anything about it. Is it possible to change that screen and use another one, namely the "I9000T" one as I had before?

Thanks in advance! :cool:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] autotomy:
I'm on of those who curious if my Ace got stolen/missing and wanna prevent anyone from flashing via ODIN/download mode. CWM would be a different story for me.

Is there anyway to secure it with an authentication module/additional pre-boot img? 10 key PIN would be wonderful enough to have. I guess it has something to do with creating our own bootloader? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jekle_Ace:
I think you will find that if you get your operator to block the Imei the phone will not usuable what so ever.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] er.davinder:
Jekle ace that's a really cool idea,,, but india the operators never take actions in case of a stolen phone, they only take action if you are VIP or something, there are hell lot of procedures like filing police complaint filling up loads of forms etc...

i think third party apps like "where's my Droid", or any other good Antivirus cum security system app could come handy in these situations
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jekle_Ace:
Never knew that sorry. Yeah where's my Droid is a feasible option but you will need to have GPS and data on as later versions of android aren't allowed to switch on hardware functions

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] autotomy:
Hi, thanks for all the replies. I'll quote this one.

Really unusable? I didn't know that :o You mean black listing the IMEI?

Is it unusable after being flashed via Odin and then being inserted a new SIM from another operator? Sorry for a lot of questions.:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Just see how hard out is to change/repair the imei in these forums. Imei blocking is the best way to permanently block the phone from working within the country.

In the UK IPhones which have been reported lost or stolen often get sipped overseas, particularly to the USA where they will usually

work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ispartacus75:
I have a Tytn II lying around gathering dust because there is simply no marekt value in it for trading. SO I have had a bit of a silly idea and wonder if it would work.

I have been interested in the idea of a Car PC for quite a while with a 7 inch touchscreen in the dash. Costs can get up there a bit once you have bought the screen, the pc itself etc. So I was wondering how easy it would be to use the TyTn II innards as the basis for a Car PC and somehow connect a 7 inch touchscreen to the Tytn II motherboard.

To me it would be a great solution for running satnav in car, and media.

What are your thoughts, do you think it would even be possible?

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] soulreaper666:
Yes, possible at least the video is, without wrecking your titan too, There's a cable you can buy that lets you send video from the titan to any screen with RCA Yellow input. I beleive it's available for PSP also. 'Mini-USB -> RCA Yellow AND white' They are on ebay.

From there you may somehow be able to port the touchscreen to the Tytns miniusb port but im not sure (as it willb e occupied by the video out). Perhaps you could splice both into one then code it to work somehow. Interesting project - good luck :)

/dev/sdd3 1012095 2988089 987997+ 83 Linux

The storage settings in the archos tell me that the partition is ext3, but it is definately fat32 since I wasn't able to copy a 4gb+ file to the archos.

Did I do something wrong?

Or did I maby misunderstand? Was the ext4 only supposed to be for the apps partition?

Sorry for not posting this in the urukdroids thread, but I cannot post there because I haven't made enough posts.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
You missunderstood it wrong..

See : Storage have to be fat32 otherwise you wouldnt be able to mount it on windows

The system partition of urukdroid is ext4 formatted;) you can mount the system partition on linux:)

If the storage partition would be ext4 it wont be so much performance boost.

Is it possible to mount the ext4 partition in Linux running in virtual machine (VMware) running on Windows?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
Instead of asking, why don't you try it?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardar:
Well I have been a linux user since 2004 so I have no need for the long-outdated fat32 filesystem.

My storage partition was ext3 formatted with the stock archos/android firmware, but now when I select ext3 from the menu the device just reboots and nothing happens to the partition.

Is there any way of getting ext4 or even ext3 for the storage partition? Would it be safe to format it just like any other partition or is there something special that needs to be done?

I am not familiar with proprietary virtual machines like vmware but as long as the virtual machine can talk directly to the hardware it can mount the drive without needing windows drivers.

For software emulated virtual machines you would need a windows driver to be able to mount the drive.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fzelle:
Of course you can format the data partition with ext3/4 yourself, just keep in mind

that the android ext4 implementation doesn't allow hugefile.

And fat32 will "never" be outdated as it is very easy to implement for device vendors, so it will allways be there for cameras and stuff.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardar:
I'll try and format it to ext4 then... Hope it doesn't get screwed up.

Yes you are right, fat32 will be continued to use, but as for features it's long outdated compared to superior filesystems like ext, xfs, etc.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lenn:
You should format it with angstrom;) (SDE on Archos)

just a tip:)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardar:
Might be worth a shot :)

I'm going to take a clonezilla image of the current setup, just in case the archos doesn't like me formatting the partition :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardar:
Seems like android does not like the storage partition to be ext4

I tried both with urukdroid and stock archos firmware.

But I was able to format back to ext3, so that will have to do for now :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] charleypark:
Nope, there's no way to use Google Voice on a stock messaging app. The only way for it to show is to send sms to your original number... which you obviously don't want to do.

Yada yada tapped
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Is it forwarding you the text through regular sms?

I think its doing what the post above you is talking about
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] charleypark:
That has been a feature ever since Voice has been available to the public. When you check to have a Voice text to your stock messaging application, Google is essentially texting your default number, which means you're receiving texts via network--which you don't want.

So forwarding texts is not a solution. You will just have to deal with the simple Google Voice messaging app or sign up for a texting plain just to use a messaging app aside from Google Voice.

*However, I haven't touched Google Voice settings since launch so I wouldn't know. Most likely, you're being charged a text or fee when forwarding your Voice texts to your stock app.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
My family and I use gvoice for texting, there is no way to access gvoice through another sms app afaik. As for the text forwarding, you are getting charged for each text at that point. My mom accidently checked the box when she setup gvoice and had to pay 18 bucks in texts the next billing cycle.
