Well it was using my DROID pro I just checked in my bionic and there's no such indicator sorry I thought was a new feature but seems is in some models only
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TauntingBull:
Question is.... is PDAnet tethering traffic detectable to VZ or not?

If that is safe, then I might as well bite the bullet and pay 16 bones and be done with it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] yutzyscott:
I have been using it regularly since day 1.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kseunder84:
I've been using pdanet and it connects fine I surf for like a few minutes and then a website will randomly sit there at sending request and eventually say it can not load page, so using dos command I release ip and renew it and it works for another few minutes and then repeats the process again. Anyone know why this is? I also am grandfathered into unlimited data.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] denpad2010:
Im using the hack to the built in mobile hotspot i am challenging verizon lol maybe stupid me but i must say im not a heavy user just occasionally
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
If you enable USB tethering it loads a RNDIS driver and the entitlement is already open for USB by default...it works! There is no need for PDA net if you want to use a cable. The hotspot app is specifically setup for monitoring because they are marketing it that way.

I haven't tethered extensively either but there is no warning or redirection because its RNDIS connection sharing not DUN over USB. I don't know why they decided to set it up this way and what the impications are yet.

Bottom line is that USB tethering works natively right now and BT PAN can also be made to work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] wanderfowl:
So, I've just gotten Bluetooth tethering to work (CDMA only mode) with both my computer and my tablet, which makes me very happy. I don't miss the LTE speeds, as I'll just be doing this for occasional use away from WiFi, sitting in a car, etc.

That said, does anybody know whether this method (3G Bluetooth tethering) has the same trackability by Verizon as the Entitlement Editor method discussed in this thread?

Is it worthwhile to use a VPN or to spoof the browser user agent to something more Androidy to stay off the radar?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zedomax:
works fine here, been tethering on 4g lte since day 1:

[YOUTUBE]vuSHY7ed0oU[/YOUTUBE]

You might have to turn wifi on and off couple times, it takes a couple tries b4 it starts working.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] gnargnarshreder:
so if we do the hack with sqllite do we have to use vzw mobile hot spot or can we use wifi tether for rooted users
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rickatnight11:
The SQL-Lite "hack" only affects how the VZW Mobile Hot Spot authenticates to verify a tethering plan. Thus, it in no way affects the WiFi Tethering app.

The WiFi tethering app isn't working for software reasons.
[Thunderbolt General] currensy:
What do you gain and do you recommend it because I'm thinking about installing it.
[Thunderbolt General] SP1986:
It's not for the faint of heart, for starters. There was once a guide here in the dev forums, but it looks to have been deleted/moved. I'm actually interested to see if we can get an RPM based distro like CentOS running on a TB...THAT would be useful!
[Thunderbolt General] neomorphix:
Why not just use alien if you need to get an RPM package installed in a Deb based distro? Or do you just not like the Debian way of package management all together? Just curious.
[Thunderbolt General] SP1986:
Didn't know it was an option - now I do! Thanks!

I like to share my experience, in June 22nd this year i purchased unlock code from an online company Cellunlock.net that have stores on Quebec and Montreal and Laval Canada and Hallandale Florida to unlock my

T-Mobile Vibrant SGH-T959

firmware 2.2

Baseband: T959UVKB5

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: FROYO.UVKB5.

The unlocked code i was given never trigger the phone to unlock it successfully i try:

1: Power on without sim, type in #0111*unlocked code# then i hit dial and o get message "Not registered to network"

2: Power on without sim, type in #7465625*638*unlock code# then i hit dial and o get message "Not registered to network"

3: power on with At&t sim card and i get prompt to enter the network code and message: unlocked unsuccessful

I even made a video and sent it to them upon their request so they can see that i was doing the steps to unlock the phone correctly.

So since i live in fort Lauderdale and they have an office 20 minutes from where i live they suggested to go there so their technician can unlock it by hooking it up to a machine which it turn out to be Z3x Box (i look it up), first attempt it looks like it unlocked it but went i got home and turn the phone back on wiht my ATT card and the phone did not recognized any network, even went i try to use itwiht th original T-mobile card, so after few E-mail i went back to their office and i spend about 2 1/2hr with the technician wich he proceed to flash the phone several times due the phone after it supposed to be flash successfully with the Z3x box either the phone work with ATT but not wiht Tmobile, or the phone kept rebooting itself, after it will says 1 time flashing the phone the phone never turn back ON again, so the technician suggested to leave the phone with them so ty can try to fix it with another technician of may be the battery was dead, so i left my phone with the charger this was o July 7th, since this date they told me they had sent the phone to Samsung and they were waiting for them to returned it.......up to today i still have no phone and i have to E-mail them for status and every time they say the same thing.....what you guys thing i should do next or do i have any chance to get my phone back?
[Off-topic] xriderx66:
Maybe they think your Vibrant is the Canadian version of vibrant? The bell vibrant or something?

IDK how it can be just YOUR phone thats doing that though, i'd assume the unlock code is the problem? but then again they did try that z3x box too...

Did they give you more than one unlock code to try out?
[Off-topic] ddamian67:
The vibrant has T-mobile on top, they never give me another unlocked code they mention that maybe the IMEI number was incorrect on the phone from Samsung it slef because we verify the IMEI number when they had my phone, As i mention the technician work on the phone for 2 1/2 hrs. untill it died.
[Off-topic] dugiteddy:
Why didn't you just call your carrier to unlock it?
[Off-topic] ddamian67:
Because i had another phone wich i call them to unlocked and they said i had to wait another 90 days to unlock another one, i needed the phone unlock to use went i travel to south america and i could not wait. at the time.
[Off-topic] AustinKnight45:
Can't you odin to factory 2.1 and get a app in market that will give you the unlock code for free? There was a program on here when the vibrant first came out that when you hooked it to you pc it would find your unlock code then you just put in a different carrier sim enter the unlock code, well that's what I did.

EDIT HERE this might help if you want to do it yourself don't know if it still works, but I know that the whole was in 2.1 eclair that we could get the unlock code thank button is here>>>>>>>>>>>>>VVV
[Off-topic] ddamian67:
They have the phone for more than 2 months and still waiting for them to sent it back to me.

I just got my gingerbread update on my Optimus S (Optimus One?)

No CRT off OR 3D app Drawer! but i have the over scroll effect! I have All animations checked in the setting. soo the ****? :mad:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
please write some more deails here:

- what Gingerbread version have you installed ?

- is it a stock (LG) rom or customized rom like CyanogenMod7 or something else ?

- do you have installed / modified / tweaked something in scripts ?

- was the crt animation working before made any changes or was it the first clean install and the CRT animation isnt working ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
You are using an Optimus S not an Nexus S. Only Nexus S default have that feature.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kirt231:
I'm on stock Tom

Unrooted

so no messing with the scripts it apks

Its the official gingerbread update from sprint. 2.3.3
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kirt231:
So does sprint turn off those features when they tweak the sdk or does Google turn it off?

Is there a way to turn it on through the scripts it apks or anything. I know I have to root it but that's fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
That idk, for 3d app drawer, use launcherpro, for crt...try finding In other forums
[Optimus One, P500, V General] DnaPolymerase:
Crt is actually supported by Mik_os's cyanogenmod porting and by Gingerlol 1.5.2 rom.

You could try one of these.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] terratrix:
No, he can't. From what I believe that optimus s uses a different partition order than optimus one
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
it doesnt matter all about this crt ... the nice looking CRT feature brings us the black screen bug, so its disabled in most of devices that have original firmware from manufacturer...

its because OpenGL 1.x (Optimus One have only OpenGL ES 1.x) doesnt support Offscreen drawing or better "On a device who the display is powered off already", so it must be give errors in kernel (You can see that in dmesg command in the shell).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kirt231:
Do any of these ports have any serious bugs like, no GPS or messaging or 3g etc.? Or even stability problems?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kirt231:
Oh that makes complete sense. Thanks!

But I remember having it on my hero with cyanogen mod 7! And I don't think that phone had open gl. Open gl didn't come available to phones till the year after. But I could be wrong.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
without OpenGL you cant get the CRT screen.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wmtanada:
Crt effect for stock 2.3.3 rom!

For those who are still on stock 2.3.3 rom (but rooted!) and would like to have CRT effect, flash this zip file via clockworkmod. Can't remember where I got this, but it works! :)

Tested on V20G, not working with V20H :(
[HTC Sensation] Majin_X:
Hello all,

I'm currently using the samsung vibrant and I'm about to pick up a new phone tomorrow. I know everything there is to know about the vibrant aside from JTAG operations. the phone has been outstanding and reliable from the beginning to end. I post this because I wonder what you guys feel about your sensation... always was an HTC fan but if I were to get the Galaxy S 4g then I would be right at home. They are very hard to actually brick and that is what I love most. So how's the sensation?? you guys get alot of bricks on this device? I've been doing some research and this phone looks amazing with some of the custom roms and themes I've seen so far. I really want to get it because of its highly updated processor. But how dangerous is it to flash custom roms and what not?

I appreciate your input :)
[HTC Sensation] offwiththeface:
I switched from a captivate I know exactly what your saying but it looks alot more complicated then it is if you follow the instructions and guides properly you will be ok. Overall I love this phone its amazing and great support on here for it
[HTC Sensation] Majin_X:
yeah sad to say.... the vibrant is dying.... at least that is what it seems like. Cant seem to get a solid gingerbread rom going although they are getting close. I read some lines from a rom thread that shows how to turn your sensation into the XE version... is that what you did? or is there really a better version out there? lol I have no idea
[HTC Sensation] offwiththeface:
Yea I did that the developers name is Mike and he is sick. His rom android revolution is unreal
[HTC Sensation] chadrick.7:
I switched from the g2x and the sensation is very easy to root if you follow the guide exactly. It is also the best phone available in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] digiholic:
Well if the choice is between the Galaxy S4 and the Sensation... that's easy. Sensation! Not even close.

If you are a huge Sammy fan you might want to delay and compare the Hercules with the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] Majin_X:
Decision was made, you guys were right, this phone is a beast. Within 2 days I already flashed ARHD 3.6.0 and I'm very impressed. Thanks to all
[General Questions and Answers] cybercaptain:
Hello guys,

I have always admired the ingenious hackers/developers here at XDA that unlock/root phones. My question is how is it done? when you get a phone/tablet on day one that has not been rooted and custom roms flashed onto it, how do you root it and build a custom rom with all the drivers when they are not opensourced? I realize I am asking a very broad question here and that this is by no means a step by step process, so if you would be kind enough to give me a basic description of the tools used, some helpful articles that I could learn from, or even the process you used for a previous phone that has been unlocked I would be very grateful. I would very much like to join the numbers of people decrypting bootloaders and rooting phones with you guys.

Hey guys just bought a used sgs4g from T-Mobile I want to unlock it for use on other GSM networks. O have been at it for two hours but I can't seem to get it.

I've been using dagentooboys tutorials and free app but neither work.

I can't find the 0x1469 address on the NV_data.bin

Someone please help

Thank you

You can call up tmob after a while and have them unlock it for you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I think it's 90 days...or it might be 1 phone every 90 days...just call and ask.the worst that can happen is that they say no. tell them you ate going out of the country. Europe. Do it big
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LoveisPeace2012:
Haha except I don't have service with tmo. I'm just using it on wifi ...any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Try going into a Tmobile store and asking...or 3rd party cell stores...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LoveisPeace2012:
Do the guides no longer work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
the guides work, but there are a lot of people that mess things up. Its easy to break and very tough to fix. I'm just trying to save you a lot of trouble. If you do follow a guide, make sure you read the entire thread. And back up your efs folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Did you pay cash for the phone? You can call them since they're the sellers of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] LoveisPeace2012:
Hmm I guess what I mean is if they no longer work because of updates? I see the latest unlocking guide was updated in May

Hello again, does anybody knows how to put a movie on your sensation-SD card ofcourse. To see back in the given movieplayer. And what kind of extensions can I use ?

[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Put them anywhere on the SD Card.

You can use Avi, mp4, 3gp, etc

Or get MoboPlayer off the market and it will play pretty much anything

I would advise totaly the same, I use MoboPlayer as well and have not had any issues to play any format until now

I love it to open books on the sensation. I now have a comic reader on it. It support .cbr . Now i have one think can i convert cbr to epub. Because i like the turning page thing more the. Scrolling up and down. Or is the epub not for picture?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qzfive:
My 3G signal is always very strong apart from maybe 1 or 2 areas my transport to other areas goes through (drops to maybe 1 bar, or to EDGE).

Would, in theory, setting my preferred network to "WCDMA Only" save any (even if a little) battery compared to the default of "GSM/CDMA Auto", since it wouldn't bother searching for a 2G signal despite my 3G always being very good? Or does GSM Auto only search for a better 2G signal when 3G is low?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
This is not the first time this has happened. It better be the fricken last. I had my phone set up perfectly, and for safe measure, decided to make a nandroid. Then earlier today I was playing around and made a cwm backup before I started. I seriously messed up my phone (no recovery no nothing except odin) and odin'd cwm to nandroid back to where I was. Guess what? The backups were freaking gone. The last two that I actually wanted.

Has this ever happened to anyone else??

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything related to my issue. I'm trying to get BLN Notification lights to work on my Nexus S, and I've already tried a few kernels, netarchy, matr1x, and trinity, but they all have the same result. The light shows up for one or two seconds, then it turns off. I've also tried the SuperOSR rom and the same thing happens. I'm currently using MIUI.us 1.9.16. Is this how it's supposed to be? Any suggestions?

PS, a couple times, it did stay on (until I turned the screen on), but it is not consistent.

Hmm, I thought the blinking can only be accomplished with the pro version... Can someone attest to this plz?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhOne:
Actually, I don't want it to blink. I'm fine with just the static light, and the problem is that the light does not stay on. I understand that the static light is available for the free version and blinking requires the pro version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barqers:
It's not blinking that he's talking about. For me I get a notification then the BLN turns on, 2 seconds later it turns off. If I wake the display without unlocking the phone then turn the display off again the BLN will turn back on and stay on indefinitely. But the initial BLN only lasts 2 seconds.

I'm also on the Free version.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhOne:
Yup, that's exactly my situation. I also noticed that after it turns off, and you tap it, it'll stay on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barqers:
I didn't notice that but same here! Tapping it after it turns off does indeed turn it back on indefinitely. I'm on the latest TEUV kernel btw.
