[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
Yeah true but they'll have alot of accounts closed and alot of them will. Just go to anouther carrier, like I would flash my epic to anouther one,so they would lose way to much money and might not do it. Also they might not care about devices theyleft behind like the good ol hero and soon to be epic and evo, so all we can do is call and text to see if it works lol
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
(m) You have red hair (n) our favorite sports team lost last night (o) you just don't hang out with us as much as you used to.

They're just saying they can terminate for any reason, which I'm sure was always the case. They only listed things to cover their ass if anyone complains about it.

They aren't going to, not to mention every single rom I've ever installed comes with a laundry list of warnings/ramifications. Granted those are generally phone/warranty based, and not plan based, but it's fair to say we all realize we're not doing something our carriers would be overjoyed about.

Your only reason to be concerned here is that IF they terminate for some unlisted reason, like you download so much you're costing them money as a customer, they can cite "rooted phone" as "the" reason. (Or at least a "you can't complain" reason, since it was clearly listed. Ultimately they don't owe a reason at all.)

There's largely nothing to see here. My brother has an at&t phone. Rooted apps are hidden in the market, and side loading apps is disabled without root. Sprint isn't doing anything meaningful in the "anti-root" dept.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
I'm sure that's in the old t&s also. Just cya wording.
[Epic 4G General] Akagami:
If you aren't harming the network and are paying the bills I doubt they would cut you off.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
I think you're right. I don't understand why they care since we own the dam phones anyways.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Even so, this official policy is unacceptable. Terminating insurance and warranties make sense. Terminating service is unnecessary and a stab in the back.

I remember when people used to say sprint would never terminate anyone for roaming. This was largely because until late last year and early this year they didn't. Guess what? They certainly do now. For rooting it's only a matter of time.
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
Right, but if they do they do. They can tell you to take a hike for ANY reason, always could, always will be able to. Nothing actually changed here, in that regard.

Terminating service makes more sense than anything. The whole point of rooting is to use the phones in a manner Sprint didn't sign on for. Thousands of people using root access to bypass their paid service to tether your phone to wifi devices "hurts" them way more than the few bucks they're out for handing someone who's been paying insurance for a year and a half a refurb after bricking their devices. You're almost certainly going to do something that legitimately breaches the TOS before you do something that has any effect on the warranty. It's way more a trumped up, lame, get of of jail free, card on the insurance/warranty than it is the service. What does a busted camera button have to do with rooting?

Edit: Put it this way. I own a business, I draw attention to the fact that I can fire you for any reason, and I post a list of a few of the things you're not supposed to do. Personal calls, eating at your desk, playing games, etc. That ISN'T saying "I'm going to fire you for making a personal call." All it's saying is don't come crying about how we fired you because we didn't like your nationality, when you habitually violated rules I laid out.

I mean, honestly, I find it hard to believe you're outraged over a meaningless word change, which is tantamount to adding "Altering your device so it can literally steal from us" to a standing "We can tell you to scram for ANY reason" line.

Edit Again: And I'm sure someone somewhere will claim they were terminated JUST for rooting. That doesn't make it true, and it wouldn't mean it's going to start happening all over. We all know we're doing something we aren't supposed to be which, best case, Sprint looks the other way on. If they wanted to stop looking the other way, that's their prerogative. It's their network.

People aren't being kicked "for roaming" they're being kicked because they're almost never not roaming. In some cases because they moved, in other cases because they never should have been Sprint customers in the first place (and might have even misrepresented something to get the deal they wanted). This is a pretty well known clause.
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
If sprint booted rooters they would essentially lose I'm sure at least 50% of their current business, which might not be so great if they expect to make things like... idk... profit?
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
Id say more like 15-20% and growing as awarness of root grows, that # might be inflated aswell, but I'm optimistic ;)
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
This right here. The agreement is there as a "just in case" scenario. If you're tethering or using abnormal amounts of data, resulting in slowing neighbors using the same tower down, then this gives them the right to terminate your service. I'm sure they'll send you a note before jumping to conclusions, though.
[Epic 4G General] darksideauto:
I pull at least 15-20gb a month. And my second line is on pandora nearly 24/7. Never heard a peep from sprint about it.
[Epic 4G General] twyster:
I have a feeling what they're concerned about is the same thing the other carriers are concerned about. Rather than make us pay for tiered data, they make it known that if you sit at home using your phone as your only source of internet without paying the 30 bucks a month for hotspot service, downloading movies from netflix all day pulling down 500gb or so in a month, they'll check to see if you're rooted. There are a handful of people pulling down hundreds of gb of data from their phone without paying the fee, and that's just wildly unrealistic for just phone use, and takes bandwidth from the rest of us, slowing down speeds.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Why not just add the plan for tethering instead of termination? I know I only tether once in a blue moon and for me root is much more than just tethering. It's voodoo sound to make music clearer, it's roam control to get my calls through, it's titanium backup to backup and restore my data and above all it's my key to taking full control of what's rightfully mine.

There is a little secret many of you have forgotten.

Unauthorized tethering doesn't need root. PDAnet works on unrooted phones.

I'm on Virtuous as well. Smoothest and best Sense3 rom I've used yet. Just may be a keeper!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I have tried all the sense 3.0 roms and I have to say that virtuous and Rcmix bliss are both very nice. Rcmix is the smoother of the two and there is no crackling when the weather widget plays the animations. However there is a definite performance degredation when using sense 3.0 or 3.5 as compared to the stock gingerbread rom. Hopefully if we do get 3.0 or higher on our phones we will not see a performance hit.

Sense 3.0 with Android Revolution HD 6.1

I just flashed Android Revolution HD 6.1, coming from an earlier version of ARHD (5.something). 6.1 includes Sense 3.0 and, for me at least, it runs much more smoothly now than it ever did before.

I wanted to thank Mike1986 in the ARHD 6.1 thread, but since I am a new user I will just have to recommend his newest ROM here. It runs very well!

Help and feedback would be great... oh yea cmw will not show up for some reason. either that or i dont know how to open it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] urcboss07:
I believe if you want to flash Alien rom, you must unlock the bootloader after you rooted your phone, install recovery, then install Alien Rom. At this time, try to remove the battery and put it back in and turn the phone on again to see whether phone loads. If not, you may need to flash sbf and start over again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
You are correct sir/ma'am...

Must be unlocked before flashing Alien Rom. Use this process to get back up and running and then re-root. But before flashing a full ROM the next time, make sure your bootloader is unlocked. This P-ROM only needs rooted and you can use Bootstrap Recovery to flash it. Its actually a REALLY REALLY good P-ROM. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi all I was trying to update my firmware vie Kies and my computer froze up during the load. Now my tab is stuck at Android system recovery with an error message "E:failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)

I tried firmware recovery with kies but it doesn't show any failed attempts and it is asking for a recovery code.

I downloaded the stock firmware from matcl.com and tried to reinstall with Odin. It says success, but I still have the same error on my TAB. I tried wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and try to reinstall but still nothing.

After visiting techblogs of all three of these operating systems I've come to a realization. The majority of them report about 70 percent on their own OS and the remaining 30 percent is dedicated to bashing another OS. Wp7 blogs do it to android, android blogs do it to ios, and ios blogs do it to everyone. While I understand that each OS does things that the other can't, when I go on a tech blog site I like to read news regarding my OS of choice. Earlier surur, the admin of wmpoweruser, posted a blog titled, "Google Korea offices raided due to Android anti-trust concerns." now, what business does this have being on a windows phone site aside from bashing android. I understand that android is an OS many of you love but honestly, when I go to a windows phone site reading about android is not exactly on my to-do list. Its just not for me. This is, of course, the fault of the staff on these blog sites and quite frankly I don't see why they bash for page hits. Every OS can do things others can't, no one is any better than the next for everyone, but unless the site is a mutualistic site like CNET (though they're largely biased) then there's no reason for these types of posts.

Last time I rememer, a mac blog reported about a windows 8 leak. When asked why, one of the guys on IRC replied, "This is because a mac can run windows too". WTF?

Usually, most of the blogs do this to maintain traffic. Probably because a majority of their user fail to generalize between facts or true justification and instead are impartial to their beloved product. They love other products or their rivals being bashed about.

Not that I'm saying that this is the case with everyone, but with most of the people.

[Atrix 4G General] rlillard:
Have you tried this with aluminum foil? You might save yourself some wasted effort.

I'm thinking such a case could have deleterious effects on some or all of the various bands of the RF spectrum. There are 3 RF based features on these phones. GPS is likely to be the most affected based on signal strength. Reduced range for both WiFi and cell is likely.

I may be wrong and hope I am. I am speculating as I have no idea where the various antennae on these phones are located.

OOPS, I forgot about Bluetooth.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Well... i think it all depends on the case, really. I mean... look at the iPhone 4. Has that whole Antennagate issue... yet companies like ElementCase release the Vapor 4... an aluminum band that get's affixed around the phone, covering the coveted antenna band.
[Atrix 4G General] nikidorian:
Kickstand yeee..

Looks like an amazing case the kickstand is huge +. If the sound changes even a little bit will be a disadvantage. Engraved styles is what you can add, some parts you can make glossy other brushed. As for assembly I'd like it to be two parts with screws like the vapor bumper, but for most people will be a drawback.Shouldn't be thick since the atrix is pretty thick already. And also have you tought of doing a battery door replacement to incorporate those things. If you are making them for sale I'd like to know because it sounds like an awesome case. ;)

Im pretty sure it will kill the signal at 3 bars and lower. Mill it out of abs and it will be a hot item. For those wanting a thicker phone, do a search for extended batteries. They come with a modified back case that's thicker to accommodate the fat battery. Almost an 1/8th to 1/4 inch thicker.
