It really makes me sick when people defend the mobile carriers. "If you don't like it leave." Ya like that is really possible for many people. Ever heard of a 2 yr contract and termination fees?

Look if you are tethering you should pay for it, I agree. However, saying that using your Bluetooth is considered tethering your data is absurd.

The government needs to get involved quickly and regulate the mobile industry with more than just taxes. How about some regulation that protects the customer?

Clearly there is some type of oligopoly going on.

At&t is forcing everyone with a smartphone to have a data plan. That is fine if you have a new contract with a subsidized phone, however At&t continues to force you to pay for a data plan even when your 2 yr contract is up. Even if you buy a phone at full retail with no subsidy, as soon as they detect a smartphone on their network they will add a mandatory data plan on your account. You don't like it? You have no choice, the industry is price-fixing, policy-fixing, and a slew of other unethical practices and the government is letting it happen.

It's like the heads of these companies got together in a secret meeting and planned out this entire thing. Let's charge crazy fees and have crazy policies, let's lock them in for 2 years, and when they get fed up with me and want to switch to you, they will see you do the same exact thing! Having no choices, no competition, it's going to make us rich.

Did you hear what T-mobile UK has done? Read this from Wikipedia and prepare to be shocked:

"Effective February 1, 2011 T-Mobile UK lowered their fair-use capacity limit on Internet usage from 3GB to 500MB per month and clarified that Internet access using their mobile broadband service in reality only allows browsing the Internet using static websites. T-Mobile says:

"Browsing means looking at websites and checking email, but not watching videos, downloading files or playing games. We've got a fair use policy but ours means that you'll always be able to browse the Internet, it's only when you go over the fair use amount that you won't be able to download, stream and watch video clips."

Soon the U.S. carriers will do this. That Youtube video you watch or music you listen to, ya that's not a static site sorry! Aww you are going to complain and cry and switch carriers? Be my guest because we already had a secret meeting and we all put this policy in place. Plus we decided to increase prices just for the fun of it. Also next year we decided you are going to sign your life over.

I wish I was exaggerating but this is how bad the industry is getting.

Imagine how great things will get when the At&t and T-Mobile merger goes through. The 4th largest carrier will be out of the picture, At&t will be larger than ever, they will increase prices and make absurd policy demands. Verizon will LOVE IT because they will do the same thing, and when customers complain they will laugh and laugh and laugh and tell you "You can switch to At&t, oh wait they do the same thing!" Then they swill spit in your face.
[Networking] donsh00tmesanta:
Once this happens I will get rid of my smartphone and instead get a feature phone
[Networking] woody1:
Two points:

1. All browser sessions are not encrypted, only the HTTPS ones.

2. It doesn't matter whether the data is encrypted or not, I don't think AT&T is supposed to be looking at your data.

I think there are serious privacy issues involved. Whether they are looking at data that's in plain text or not doesn't really change the privacy issue. It may be illegal for them to do it. This could be an issue to bring up to the FCC.
[Networking] DaNnY549:
I hate at&t they say that I was tethering when I'not , I just used Pandora with Bluetooth Automotive and they say that I fu**ing need 5GB Plan for use that!! I'm very dissapointed!!
[Networking] cell128:
Wow glad I left att for Verizon back in March. I always stream Pandora to my truck over Bluetooth. Never been bugged about this. As a matter of fact I actually do tether to my nexus 7 and haven't been told anything lol I'm also on unlimited plan I took from someone else :D
[Networking] love7672:
:D

Thank you very much! It's so helpful! :good:
[Networking] love7672:
Ohhhhh

Why don't have any update? :(
[Networking] mwayer02:
I've been tethering my Sprint TP2 on Boost for over a year now,without any corperate hassles so far.

I stream alot of Youtube,and Justintv(sometimes upto 4gb in a night).

The only thing that sucks is no 4g.

For $35mo,with unlimited everything I aint gonna b!+€h to much.Their coverage west of the Mississippi really blows though.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spider_Pig27:
Ok so i have T-Mobile nexus s... I was wondering which is the best MIUI ROM.. Ive Tried all three but idk they seem a bit laggy.. which one is the best and with which kernel.. Thanks in advance...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i like clean ROM

MIUI is over head

there are lots of MIUI variants in the DEV forum, try them all out

use CWR to make backup before each flash
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
I've been using brainmaster's MIUI for months and it keeps getting better and better. He's currently working on a new kernel with morfic which i'm sure will help with any lag issues.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaterickB:
Coming from an EVO 4G, when long pressing the power button I had the choice of Power Off and restart. Depending on if quick boot was enabled, the power button would either power off completely or go do the quick boot sleep mode. How is this phone setup because there is no option to reboot. Does this phone do quick boot or is it really that fast to boot? If I turn the phone off does it really turn off or just go into the quick boot sleep mode.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lopezpm:
I think it actually shuts down. My start-up time is the same when I pull the battery then turn it on or turning it off then on.

It boots up really fast so there is no need for fastboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PaterickB:
So is there a way to reboot/restart the phone without turning it off/on? LOL this phone is fast!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] delao13:
quick boot in the market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
Hold the power button like you are bringing up the power off menu. Keep holding it without selecting power off. When the screen goes off let go. The phone will reboot. You can hold v down while you do that to get into download mode. Same worth v up for recovery. Not really "quick" but it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starburst13:
Hello everyone yes a noob to this.

Any how verified that the Evo I just bought will not root with Unrevoked 3.32 due to 2.16 hboot and S-On.

I have read through countless threads and forums with no Avail.

Will I have to wait for developers new updates and hope they get the new source codes for HTC EVO's?

My phone statue with ##786# Reconditioned Yes, Last update appears to have been before I bought the phone with the fricken 2.16 hboot s on.

Any logical and intelligent responses welcome. ;)

Thanks in advance.

is there a music app with a lockscreen that would have both orientations?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] noah1017:
If download ubermusic it's a paid app for 3 bucks I think but it's my favorite music player and i've tried a ton of them. It's made by the same guy who made launcherpro.

Is also recommend the metro skin (free)

In ubermusic settings click disable corkscrews and not only will it be horizontal or vertical but it is also gesture controlled so a swipe left or right controls track forward and back. It's great for when I'm driving or working out.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mak0305:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marc.:
Hi,

I've got a great idea for a HTML editor for Android.

I'm now learning to create HTML sites, so I can't develop this. Maybe anybody could do it? Let's explain it:

What must it be:

It would be a app that opens the HTML code on the half of the screen, and give a live preview of your code on the other half of the screen.

Under the HTML code ( should be ) you can open another HTML ( Or xml, xsl something like that, all the files that notepad can handle? ) under it, so you can edit 2 codes at once.

My idea in a picture

On the left part you can open 1 or multiple codes, and edit them. On the right side you can see your website, and up there are the menu buttons. Or they should be in a menu or something...

This app would be made for a 10.1 inch Android tablet ( Asus Transformer ), with keyboard attached, so you can type your code immediately.

Please tell what you think of this app, and please find somebody to create this. This would be much better for creating HTML codes on Android.

( If I have another idea i'll add it in another post. )

I really hope ( and appreciate it ) if somebody will create this. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBTaylor1984:
Funny Enough I was looking for a Dreamweaver like app for my Note 2 /10.1 and I've not found anything yet. I would love this as I would then be able to use my android devices for running my site, currently I can write all the content, but putting the information in the pages, or seeing how it looks are beyond android... which is a shame.
[Desire General] dave83uk:
Although I have had fun with my desire, I can help but think it is now outdated. I've read about the sensation xe, what's everyones thoughts? My desire is the amoled version, do you think I will be disappointed with the sensation xe screen? Should I wait a little loner? Should I even move to the dark side and get an iPhone 5 when available?

I would be greatful for your thoughts and help.

Thank you
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
It's not outdated, just flash a good rom on it. But if you don't like it, get something else. You can still sell your desire for quite some money...
[Desire General] dave83uk:

if u buy a phone now, it may get outdated too soon..
[Desire General] dave83uk:
Thinking along the lines of the nexus prime? The samsung screens do look good (if its going to be made by them)
[Desire General] lonrac:
Absoluta truth...

And the desire is not outdated, try any ROM with sense 2.1 or inclusive sense 3.0 And gingerbread 2.3.5

Im now with Leedroid 3.3.3. with sense 2.1. and works like a new one.

Wait till Christmast 4 a new smartphone

;D

dear Dave,

thats what I have in my weeks ago, I fed up with all there sense ROM and their lagness. considering change phone, which definitely not a htc phone,

however until I found MIUI ROM, I found out my desire phone which is lag and slow completely changed, its like a new phone, I think you should try that too,
[Desire General] dave83uk:
I used miui until a few months ago, got a bit bored and went back to a sense rom, might give miui another go. Thanks for everyones thoughts.

Just back to one of my original questions though, my desire has the amoled screen. Will the newer slcd screen on the sensation be much different quality wise, for better or worse?
[Desire General] boelze:
The amoled screen has a bit better colors, but the slcd screen of the sensation is better in every other aspect in my personal opinion.

But I think best would be to look for yourself, try the sensation in phone store.
[Desire General] woody_2k:
I too eventualy got bored with the desire. After playing with almost every Android phone on the market I fell in love with the galaxy s2. The screen did it for me. It is truly breathtaking. Just before I tried it I played with the LG optimus 3d and was impressed with the effect but when you compare the s2 screen to it the difference is amazing. It made my desire display look so drab and dull. The phone is super fast. Full 1080p video recording. 16meg phone memory. 2mb system memory so no more ext partitions or data to SD.

Go and play with one. Apparently there will be an s3 around the start of nov. I wanted the evo 3doriginally but delays inthe launch. Bad reviews and the locked bootloader put me off. If you like to flash roms the s2 is super easy to root. Just flash an unsecure kernel and that's it. No s off no Linux disks nothing. So that's my sales pitch done with
[Desire General] danarama:
The new sense roms are made for much more powerful device.

If you're going for non HTC, you may as well try aosp roms. They fly on the desire
[Desire General] dave83uk:
I like the spec of the SII just not the feel of the plastic , that was why i was interested in the sensation.

thanks for everyones input. think it is time to try out the phones in the shops.
[LG Optimus 2x] mintvilla:
I recorded my best mates best man speech at a wedding using out LG 02x running CM7, thouhgt id do it on the best quality, so i have a 5 minute m4v video at 1080p 29fps.

MY trouble is that i cant upload it to youtube, when ive tried it always fails, so am assuming its because youtube doesnt like the m4v file, so ive converted it to a few different file types, and then ive uploaded these to youtube, this all works fine, but my problem is that when it converts the video, it changes the FPS to either 25, or 29.97? so the audio gets out of sync.

Does anyone know how to overcome this?

Hi

I've updated my HTC flyer Wifi version with a rom backed up from a 3g version to get the arabic language support. Everything seem to work perfectly except that I'm getting that ugly No SIM card displayed on when switching on the device along with SIM icon on the top bar .

My Q how can I get rid of that ?

Thanx in advance :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matius44:
There is a patch in nickiberli's FlyHigh ROM thread that I think it might help you..

You'll find it in the 2nd or 3rd post..

Hope it helps..

P.S. May I ask what Arabic ROM are you using?and what android version is it?

I'm using the one from ce4arab forums by aseer essamt..

Am asking to know if there is a 2.3.4 Arabic version..

Thanks :-)

The same one bro :)

did you try your solution before ?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matius44:
No I didn't 'cause I have a 3G Flyer so I don't have you're problem, but that patch is intended for people who flash nickiberli's ROM and still have you're problem even though they have a Wifi only Flyer..

So I think there should be no problems ;)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Oweida:
Thanx Matius :)

You know, I tried but it gave me FCs on sene !!

So I flashed nickiberli's rom , I will use a internet browser that support arabic ( I can Live with that :)

I went through his thread and I figure out that you are a developer/programmer , So did you try madmac's solution to arabize the rom and what about hebfix ?!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matius44:
Am sorry to disappoint you mate but am not a developer nor a programmer :-( actually am a pharmacist but i happen to like tinkering with my devices and Android :-D

About madmac, I tried to do it but it just gave bootloops no matter how i do it, but to be honest the script gave me errors when i ran it on my laptop so I wasn't optimistic in the first place..

I tried running nicki's ROM with the other solutions to arabize it but what drove me back to the arabic ROM is Friend Stream and Gmail as i couldnt arabize those, so if you have better solutions let me know :-)

In last few weeks when I use HD2 on charging, it freezes.

When battery is full and unplugged from charger, I can use it normaly without freezing. Device freezes when start gps program.

The same problem is in the Winmo and Android.

I have Energy ROM and Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14

any ideas?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Sounds like overheating CPU BGA issue.

Try cooling device while charging with fan/aircon & if problem goes away then it certainly points to the above.

another option is perhaps a radio change & perhaps a ROM/HSPL flash to eliminate firmware glitches if radio alone makes no difference.

I consider myself a search guru, but man finding the right Froyo rom for my Epic has become a nightmare. I just traded my HTC EVO 3D for an Epic plus a few $$$$, but it has a custom rom installed. I like being rooted, but with stock roms.

I plan to go back to the latest firmware updated, then do the one touch root process, but must have the stock rom.

I truly appreciate any help out there :o
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Since you are a Giants fan, I will find it for you. I think I have the stock EB13 ROM that will ask you to update to EC05 immediately after first boot if you want me to grab that one for you..
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Go to the Development forum and search for either EC05Plus ROM or ReRFS ROM. Both are mostly stock and prerooted. If you really want stock then go to the top of that forum in the stickies to the one on how to fix a semi-bricked Epic. That has the full stock tar and Odin links then you can root that.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
As usually John we are both right there with the help...Especially for a Giants fan!

As you may know that if you go into the "Themes" app in MIUI, go into "Online Theme", then select a theme, and scroll down you can install certain components by checking and unchecking orange check boxes. However on my phone the check marks are faded, they work, but when selected they don't disapear like they should. They just stay there... faded... Refer to the attatched image to see what I'm talking about... So how do I fix this? Do I reflash MIUI? And if I do reflash it, do I first have to return to stock? Grrrr... MIUI is so amazing!

[HTC Sensation] kingguff:
Hi I could really do with some advise. I suspect my 13 year old daughter is being messaged by some pervert she has been talking to online. I she forgot her phone a couple of weeks ago when she went swimming and got a notification of a message on Facebook which I checked only to find what was, lets say a message no 13 should get. I have deleted all her internet settings and her MSN and facebook accounts and she wont be leaving the house for quite a while, but she is acting strange and spending lots of time texting and deleting her sent and received messages as soon as she gets them. Could really do with some form of logging software or something to put my mind at rest and either beat the living ****e out of this bloke or forward his number to the police. Need something stealthy and free or really cheap as I have reciently been made redundant and all the ones I can find are very expensive. I tried stealth sms messenger but when i tried it on my phone it just forwarded blank texts. Thanks in advance.
