[HTC Incredible S] MrCrowley39:
I won one of these HTC Incredible S phones recently but it is sim locked and there doesn't appear to be a carrier associated to the phone. On phone boot up I get the HTC screen, then a black screen for a split second and it loads to the Sim locked screen. All the sites I have come across want a provider (which I don't know), so how can I unlock this phone? I have read about S-off, rooting etc which seems a lot more confusing than my Fascinate 4g was. Can someone help clear up the confusion and help point me in the right direction. Thank you!
[HTC Incredible S] scoobysnacks:
I think HTCcode.com can do an instant unlock with only the imei
[HTC Incredible S] MrCrowley39:
Thanks, I checked out the site but after purchase I'd have to provide the following "the IMEI No,Model,Network and Country" (I haven't bought yet because the network is unknown.

http://htccode.com/buy-unlock

I called HTC they said the phone is European based of the IMEI # but they can't say which provider, yet the phone came with the North American plug.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Did a search but only came up with font changing for the lock screen.

Does anyone know a good app of fonts that will ad itself to a folder in the SD internal card or Mountable SD card? Simple Text and Simplistic Text both can be configured to use third-party font in a designated font folder. I have tried a few but was unable to find them within the TF's internal SD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and a THANKS for your Thanks meter too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
font vending works great. Just downloaded it before seeing this
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
I have that installed but I can't find the fonts anywhere in the system. Any tips on where to find them?

EDIT: NVM, I figured out a better way. I have a ton of custom fonts because I'm always using Photoshop, Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects so I just loaded them into the Simple Text font directory and Voila! Very kewl to say the least. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] tonyz3:
if you go into font vending thru the app draw you will see a huge list of fonts. Hit download for the ones you want and they will auto show up when you go into fonts in minimalistic for simple I believe you do have to put them in the simple font folder like you did.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] philburkhardt:
Root System Font Installer puts the fonts on the internal SD, in a folder named /goodies.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.canvs2321.font_installer&feature=search_result

However, it is a paid app.

There is also a great thread in the EVO forums with an enormous collection of fonts:

Hope this helps :).
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] AcIdC0R3:
Thanks for the link to the list of fonts. Unfortunately, I'm not rooted because I have a B70 model but adding these fonts manually has worked for me.

I ended up as a finalist in a contest on AndroidAndMe.com! The prize is a Photon, a dock, some 'buds, and a backpack.

I'm in second place, but I need votes. My comic isn't hilarious, but it's better than the one currently holding first place (in my ever-so-humble opinion!)

So, hook me up with some votes! I'm Comic #3. I'm already on Sprint so this is a direct upgrade from my Epic 4G. :D

Contest ends tonight, hopefully I can pull ahead and get a sweet phone!

You might consider getting on facebook and making a post to get some more votes. I know I have like 1000+ friends from playing games like mafiawars. They always help out with stuff like that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Electrofreak:
Yeah did that, already got a ton of votes off my friends. So now it's to begging...

But at this point, unless a metric ton of people logged on in the next hour and voted for me, I won't win.

Ah well... it was exciting to say the least. Back to hoping for CM7 on my Epic...

Or at least hide what I don't like.

I would rather hide or freeze what I don't use/want so it is easier to go back to stock (just in case).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I use SwiftKey X and love it. Got it for the Free App of the Day on Amazon, but I think GetJar has it for free (along with a handful of other apps, mostly games). The free apps promotion might have ended, but you can download GetJar from the market and see if it's still available.

Second favorite is Smart Keyboard Pro. It's a great keyboard, but once I got used to SwiftKey I hated that other keyboards couldn't read my mind. I think there's a trial available for Smart Keyboard.

I've published three apps to the marketplace, which you can find searching Leonardo Ferrer, or they're called: InterestCalculator, Resistor Calculator and Letter Tap. I would appreciate if you help me by downloading them, they're small, nice and free, and rate them with three stars or more. That would help me getting my device and develop apps and games for the Windows Phone 7 community. :)

Does the wireless tether app work w/ the Bionic? (https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] guod2002:
To answer your question, No, and seriously, look around before you ask, if this worked there would not be threads on reverse engineering the wireless tether feature, how to get tethering to work and such, these multiple threads are getting a bit ridiculous.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rockwell22:
Lol it's not like he asked if it's safe to swallow Dynamite. Not everyone is as advanced as you buddy.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] phydo:
Some people like to reverse engineer stuff for fun. Speak from your own experience perspective not everyone else's.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] guod2002:
Not everyone is as advanced as me? 1st off I'm not very "advanced", I simply have made a common observation that there are numerous threads on this topic already, which probably shouldn't have been posted in development to begin with, but that would be for a Mod to decide. The point of a forum as far as I'm aware is ultimately the exchange of information, if information of value is hidden amongst dozens of repeat threads, doesn't that hinder users in their attempts to find information that others have posted? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the forum? I'm not bashing the OP, I didn't call him/her names or imply he/she lacked intelligence, I answered their question first and secondly brought something to his/her attention that would probably benefit the community if prevented in the future. And it's not just my perspective when facts support it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] frostincredible:
You're right. I agree it doesn't belong in development as it does not forward development on the device. It ends in a question mark, should be in General, seeing as the Bionic doens't have a Q&A section for some reason. Or even Themes & Apps seeing as it's about an application.

But, on the other hand, it isn't necassarily true that if it worked there wouldn't be thread on reverse engineering the built-in WiFi HotSpot application. Maybe people don't want a 3rd party application for tethering, so they would use the reverse method. Or they are simply interested in a learning experience.

Both of you had a fault in the conversation. But this is only my opinion. I don't know everything and don't claim to. Just giving my 2 cents on the situation as we've had similar in the Droid Incredible forums before, where I was before here, hence my username.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TweakMyDevice:

I did address this. I said it didn't belong here. It should've been in a different section, at the least. Yes, this thread is a waste because of the numerous threads already there.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
This still does not stop VZW from monitoring your data use and charging you for it.

The hotspot is still configured to reconnect using the Tethered NAI and is therefore clearly distinguished by the network as external data use.

This is going to take some digging into the OS to figure out and may simply be impossible due to the way network authentication works now for LTE devices.

Users really need to understand that the game has changed in some very fundamental ways regarding tethering on VZW and all the carrier's for that matter.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
I've used like 4 times for short period of time and by now nothing changed
[Motorola Droid Bionic] willbur73:
I think that what cellzealot is saying is that even though the hack allows tethering and does not show he Verizon page about tethering, Verizon can clearly see the difference in data usage. Whether or not they will act on it right now is yet to be determined. But the important thing to know is that youvare easily tracked.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:

[Motorola Droid Bionic] ninjagonepostal:
Im kind of the boat with these other guys. Is there any way to prove that Verizon can't track this and nail you for it later?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
What kind of proof are you looking for? The Bionic hasn't been released for a month yet to even see what their response might be to un entitled use of the Hotspot app.

I have already explained in detail in the other thread started by zedomax why this is detectable and why his video showing the RadioComm method of editing the NVM the same way as was done for EvDO devices is both completely ineffective and dangerous.

If you want proof look at the NVM yourself and see the new authentication strings that are different hardware ID elements and different strings than previous non LTE phones.

If you understand network data authentication you will clearly see why this is openly detectable and is using the tethered NAI to distinguish the Hotspot data use.

What don't you see that you need to? If they want to charge you for it they have the means in place t determine precisely when and for how long you were connected and exactly how much data was used during that period.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BerkleyJ:
So how do we get the EPST menu to change the NAI like I did on my old incredible?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
Is only the bionic trackable or no matter what phone I use I will be tracked?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mithusingh32:
If this is true, then i should have gotten charged for the 3+gb data i been using for the past 4 months because of the wireless tether...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
What device have you been tethering on for the past 4 months?

My statements are regarding the Bionic which hasn't even been out for a month yet.

Have you been using the Hotspot app or other means of wifi tethering?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] blkghost22:
for myself i have been using thunderbolt and the charge. the program i used was wirelesss tether for rooted people. i have yet to seen a charge. i hope osomeone can ifnd a way to block the monitoring from verizon soon.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:
I too have been rocking a Thunderbolt using v 2.0.7.

I havent seen a charge yet but i also dont want to.... the fact is i am more concerned about loosing my unlimited data than being charged for usage. I fall into the category of the "i paid for it so let me use it like i want to" people.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
I have been referring to the Bionic and the VZW Mobile Hotspot app, which is configured to use the tethered NAI and is therefore visible to the network and logged as tethered data use.

As a result of the SIM based authentication, you can no longer edit the NVM to hide the use of the Mobile Hotspot as was possible with CDMA/EvDO devices.

If you can use the WiFi Tether or any other similar exploit, then your data use is not detectable, as is the case for the Thunderbolt and Charge. So far, nobody has been able to get anything except BT PAN and PDAnet to work on the Bionic.

I hope this makes it clearer what I have been trying to explain about the ability of VZW to monitor "free" tethering.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] okashira:
USB tether works.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KidJoe:
While I've rarely used it, I can confirm Wifi tether for Root v2.07 works on my thunderbolt with either the Stock Verizon ROM, or leaked GB 2.11.605.0, although v3beta6 doesn't.

I'm not going to comment on if VZW can detect this or not...

I have the "grandfathered" Unlimited data plan.

Those who want to play by VZW's rules (even if they agree/don't agree those rules stink), should be aware that VZW's MHS feature can be added/removed at any time and is PRO-RATED if you have it on for less than 1 full month (i.e. it costs about $1 or so per day). It can be done in the "add features" part of the Verizon MyAccount web page. I've done it a few times, and its relatively easy.

And my Bionic is on the way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Brenardo:
So cellzealot, are you currently working on any hack s or do you feel it is impossible to get around
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
I am trying to understand how they disabled the current methods of wifi tethering.

Once we do that then we can figure out how to get around it, if at all possible.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
No there isn't...and given the high profile nature of the topic there really should be.

Vmespionage started a good thread specifically devoted to the Mobile Hotspot app and we could perhaps continue this discussion there as well.

They are separate but certainly related. My suspicion is that the limitations are in the kernel and given that the Hotspot app is hidden, the discussion in the other thread stalled.

There hasn't been a really serious, collaborative effort started yet to look at this, and that is likely what it will require to be successful. My own knowledge is much greater about the NVM than the Android OS, so I will be most helpful with that part of it.
