anyone getting a status bar force close error over and over again until you have to pull out your battery? lol
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
That's supposed to happen during installation, it does that for like 30 seconds then reboots and it's done.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
I love this. Its one of my favorites because of the black notification bar but is anyones 3g/service bars randomly losing the green neon color (turning white) then randomly going back to green? Lol this is really random. I have no clue why it does it but is anyone having that trouble?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Green is the same as Blur's blue, and the gray is the same as Blur's white. The colored means it is either pulling data, or has a solid connection. The white/gray/noncolored means it does not have a solid connection. Or something like that.
[Motorola Droid 3] jarzy00:
also sometimes when i turn wifi on or off it will switch to that gray/white color but that makes sense now about the data sorta throwing it off. Thanks whitty
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
Yes, they are solid colors only when "fully connected". All gingerbread is like this.
[Motorola Droid 3] bgmarian:
a theme like miuirom please!!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Wut?
[Motorola Droid 3] {davros}:
is this for 5.6.890 or 5.7.894 ? or does it even matter Metamorph always confused me lol

It doesn't matter.

Tried to install a new radio so I could get radio 2.2 instead of 3.2 rogers htc dream..

Just stuck at boot screen won't load os, fastboot or recovery should I try install adb and doing some commands there or should I just said it is bricked and dead ?

Thanks for answers, Also if you know it is bricked recommend a new phone please :P
[G1 General] ezterry:
I take it you ignored the advise to flash radios via fastboot rather than recovery.

If you had a 3.22.* radio and flashed a 2.22.* radio from recovery you are likely bricked (as this is one of the two easiest actions you can take to brick your phone).. Jtag can fix this.. but the jtag operation is worth more than the phone at this point)

Regardless: see if you can get into fastboot [power on holding camera] if you can get the fastboot info so we can help (if its 1.33.2005 just follow fastboot instructions to install 2.22.28.25 and 1.33.0013d including flashing recovery)
[G1 General] XDAHtcDream:
Cannot get into fastboot, I had danger sql on it also I did flash it via recovery

thanks for post please post back.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitjarik:
Hi guys!

Here's my story:

First, i got MIUI 1.8.5 installed on my NC. Everything went fine, and USB storage worked (I had NOOKColor and microSD partitions show on PC) until once PC didn't detect any storage devices with Nook connected. I tried different computers, a PC, a Mac and a Hackintosh, still, no luck.

I upgraded to MIUI 1.9.16 — same thing.

Now I'm running CM 7.0.3 Stable, and still I can't get USB Storage working. On MIUI I could at least use WiFi FTP in file explorer, with CM7, I'm completely stuck.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 02:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Goddamit!

I dunno, how did that happen, but i've just used my generic Huawei MicroUSB, and it worked.

Looks like i managed to screw the original nook cable up in two days after the purchase.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moshe5368:
Sounds like you got one of the bad NC cables. This is a common problem as many folks have to return the cables and chargers for replacement. Usually it is the micro usb connector breaking or the plastic around the end where the led is. Either way, you should be able to get B&N to replace the cable for you free of charge. Sometimes they request that you return the old cable but that varies as well. The major problem you will encounter is the slow recharge time using a regular cable. Just call B&N or go by the store and they should be able to fix the issue for you.

If you're running a newer android version then it'll be in the SystemUI.apk in system/app

'status_bar_close_on.png' I think it's called.

[Thunderbolt General] stayin100:
Bought a broken thunderbolt on ebay one night * drunk bidding never turns out good * anyways, the phone arrived and actually turned on even though it was sold as not turning on. So I ordered a lcd and digitizer and while waiting on them to arrive I fixed a crack in the casing with epoxy and bondo, and repainted the case grey. I had the bright idea if painting it white. I'll throw up some pictures soon, the phone isnt all back together yet and I still need to finish polishing the kick stand, but I'll post progress pictures once they are done uploading..

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

Heres the crack after sanding down the case

and then the epoxy

lil bondo

and the grey paint

and now white

Also the extended battery back was all scratched up so I roughed it up filled it and sprayed it the grey color, I thought it would be too much white.
[Thunderbolt General] OffcerClancy:
Nice job, mate. Hope it all works out for you.
[Thunderbolt General] stayin100:
Thanks man, all seems well. I just need to sand down so rough edges on the bottom, put another coat on it and let the paint fully set up for a few days before putting the phone back together. I hope it sets up well and holds up. I think it will be a good phone for someone, may require a wrap to protect the phone. I imagine it will sell for 300 or so :)
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I briefly thought about remodeling mine in the same sort of way. Go all black though, dInc2 style. It's cool to have something unique. How did you polish the kickstand?
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
That actually looks cool!

Sent from my Thunderbolt running CyanogenMod 7 using the Tapatalk app.
[Thunderbolt General] stayin100:
The best way to go about the kick stand is either 800 grit sand paper, or red scotchbrite. Tape the phone down to a table and tape under and around the kick stand, close it and goto town.
[Thunderbolt General] TDubKong:
Thats a cool idea and it turned out really nice. Although i wonder, "why white?" Looks kinda Iphoney? Hey wait i think i created a new word lol.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Nope. Not a new word.
[Thunderbolt General] stayin100:
Idk, I've always liked white phones and it seems to be the standard choice for cell phones, white or black
[Thunderbolt General] jaysckap:
i just did mine the other day
[Thunderbolt General] Nihilife:
Somebody should make a step by step guide to doing this, and doing it properly. I'm sure many people, including myself, would love to do this, but lack the experience and knowledge to do so.
[Thunderbolt General] motorsports601:
Yea thats pretty sick ive been thinking of doing stuff like this i have some carbon fiber vinly coming in im gonna atempt to wrap it myself. Lol. Did u guys use spray paint? Airbrush? Did u clear it ? Polish it ?
[Thunderbolt General] jaysckap:
I took mine apart and sanded it using 180 grit paper. It took awhile to get all the crevices scratched up then I cleaned it with contact cleaner. I sprayed it with KRYLON FUSION (4 light coats) I let each coat dry for about an hour, the last coat over night. Then 2 coats of KRYLON crystal clear gloss. Let that dry 2 days. Letting it dry is the most important part.
[Thunderbolt General] talondx:
thats pretty sweet looking
[Thunderbolt General] justavillain:
I thought of buying another bezel and doing this with some nice plastic paint. clean bondo job. Most people fubar bondo!

I polished the kick stand. I actually just chipped all the clear coat off with my thumb nail for the most part then used a dremel with polish disk to make it really flashy
[Thunderbolt General] stayin100:
I have been getting a ton of emails about people wanting me to do this to their phones.

I just don't feel comfortable with people shipping me their 300 dollar phones and taking them apart.

That being said, I can give you all a few tips on how to do this yourself. First off I used a glue called doctor bond it, it was a two part glue. Overall it seemed to work good. I put the phone back together once and it was all good to go, but I took the phone back apart to fix the glass and putting it back together the crack re opened. I wouldn't suggest repairing the crack if you have one ( which a lot of thunderbolts seem to develop a crack at this exact spot. You can get a replacement housing for 24.99 on ebay.

if you want to repaint your case, I would suggest using dupilcolor's automotive spray paint. Krylon Fusion is just too soft imho. It is designed for parts that need to be able to flex a lot, which even with this being plastic, it doesn't really need to flex.

Masking this was also a PAIN, mainly the kick stand area... Take your time with a straight razor and green masking tape. Lightly scuff the housing with 800 grit sandpaper and wipe down with wax and grease remover or acetone to remove all oils. Make sure you're wearing latex gloves at this point to not re contaminate your substrate. I used dental floss and a coat hanger to hang the phone housing and paint it.

I would say at :)least 2 light coats with 30 mins flash time between them, then a final wet coat and let dry over night and through the next work day. Then shoot it with a few coats of clear. ( make sure you use the same brand of clear and paint from the same line ) After you've cleared the phone and let it dry over night again, you could take some fine cut rubbing compound and buff it by hand, but it shouldn't be necessary.

The important thing really is just knowing how to pace yourself and let the thing DRY. if you get a run in the paint don't freak out, just let it dry and take some 1200 grit and wet sand it out.

I couldn't get krylons fusion to not feel sticky, granted I didn't use their clear over the paint. Also with the fusion I could not get good coverage as I had a few different colors, the black, stock grey and bondo color. A primer would have been ideal but I don't believe krylon has a primer.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] h20wakebum:
I don't get it.

I am using widget locker and have a slider with SMS on the left, Phone in the middle and the stock email on the right.

I've setup adw notifier to include missed call/sms and email counts.

I receive the sms and phone ones, but it will NOT work with the stock email.

If I were doing gmail, it works.

I can't figure this out.

Does anyone else have this issue pop up?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] inkdrink:
I can't get ADW notifier to work with anything, Gmail, Messaging, or Missed Calls. Needless to say my widget locker tabs are missing them too.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rrambert:
I'm on a rooted rom (Infuse v2.1.0) and I received the following message today:

"Our records show that you use this capability, but are not subscribed to our tethering plan. If you would like to continue tethering, please log into your account online atwww.wireless.att.com, to sign up for the DataPro 4GB for Smartphone Tethering plan or the DataPro Enterprise 4GB for Smartphone Tethering plan.

If we don't hear from you, we'll plan to automatically enroll you into one of the above DataPro 4GB plans in an upcoming bill cycle.

If you discontinue tethering by the end of this month, no changes to your current plan will be required."

I have an unlimited data plan in which I have been tethering for years until I receive this message today. I plan to stop however; I was wondering if there is a way I can tether under the phone internet as if the phone was going to WebPages without ATT noticing and changing my unlimited plan to a tethering plan?

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
It appears that they are wising up to tethering. I would also be interested in a way to disguise my usage.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Were you using native Android tethering or one of the tethering apps?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Phlip00ws6:
Its not based on usage alone. A friend received the same email with just under 1 GB/month average.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
No nastygram yet here - however:

1) I use native tethering - third-party tethering apps are notorious for being easily detectable by AT&T

2) I usually only tether my tablet - since it's also an Android device it might have a less obvious "signature".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
I also use native (usb mostly) tethering and I connect to my desktop mostly.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TOA Duck:
I also. And only light usage. Don't do any torrenting. Don't be like the other Guy in the otherthread and use 8 freaking gigs in a week. Lmao.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdbeitz:
I didn't torrent haha. I just stream music and movies from netflix a lot. I'm sure watching football games on Justin.tv didn't help :)

In my book, unlimited means unlimited :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Unlimited means unlimited - but if you use a ridiculous amount per month it's hard to prove that you're NOT tethering.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdbeitz:
Well said.

Its just a bummer lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] confused256:
I just received my nasty gram today same as yours but when I log into my account I haven't been signed up for any tethering plans yet, seems they are rolling the emails out on a list. I also haven't used it for 3 days so this email wasn't because of usage today.

I use the native app on phone, tethered to android/ipad tablets. Usage is below 5gb on my unlimited plan.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rrambert:
I believe it was a third party app called Mobile AP from the Market. I like being able to add a widget to my main screen to turn on and off for my tablet and captivate to surf the web.

I spoke with the ATT Rep today regarding my unlimited plan and was told "it's not unlimited; come 1 Oct ATT will throttle users who go over 5gb."

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

I thought only IPhone users were being track because the separate APN? Well, guess not. There goes the free internet for my other devices.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I think its not about amount of date, but more about the usage patterns (frequency). For those who use rarely or once in a while for a short while, they don't bother. But for those who tether frequently, or use this as an alternate to home internet, well, its easy to detect.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] HiddenSanctum:
Also got mine today, I only used it for an hour two weeks ago >_>. Guess they are getting quite aggressive at this. Do I need to do anything if I don't plan on using tethering at all in the future anyways?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Just ignore it and don't use tethering till the end of billing cycle. U should be good.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Native tethering or non-native?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] confused256:
I went back and looked again and this info might be interesting to people:

My Phone (Infuse 4G) number was the one listed in the Nasty Gram

Usage is 3994.33 MB of Unlimited

Wife's Phone (Captivate) Did Not Receive Gram and her's is the primary number on bill.

4329.72 MB of Unlimited

Both phones are using the native tethering on samsung phones.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] shiftylock:
Hmmm. Just a question, but couldn't you technically surf the web via your laptop through one of those old school proxies they have online? Correct me if I am wrong but I thought they circumvented everything but your usage being reported to the ISP.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
yeah i got my email about 3 days ago. i called. tunrs out they have records of me tethering going back at least 4 months. i have 4 atrix and 3 infuses in the last 4 months. how in the ****. lol, but yeah, i managed to keep my unlimited data, and if they take it away i got several brand new sim cards to to dot he iPhone 2g trick again.

AT&T Unlimited Package, Not Tethering, Being Accused

I have 4 iPhones on our plan. One of them got busted for Tethering a few months ago and it was my sons phone. He swore up and down he was not tethering, but of course I took At&t side thinking they should know what they are saying. So they changed that phone from Unlimted to Limited chargning $15 more.

Doesn't make any sense, but they did it and I could not do nothing about it.

Now we get a notice for another phone in my plan and guess who's phone it is now, its my Wifes phone. She barely knows how to get on the internet on the phone much less use that phone for Tethering.

We all need to lawyer up really quick and take AT&T to the task. I guarantee you, AT&T doesn't have any proof as I have asked for it and they said they can not and will not provide it.

I know for a fact, my wife doesn't tether her phone and now I feel really bad for accusing my son for tethering. Because he did swear up and down he was not doing it.

The courts have favored the customer on being able to altered / jailbreak / unlock their iPhones. And I truely believe they have found a way to identify those phones that are either altered / jailbroke/ unlocked and that is what they are going after but using

TETHERING

as the key factor of changing there plans because its a loop hole they can use till they are stopped. They are BUTT hurt and this is there way of getting back at the customer.

Com'on, there has to be a lawyer out there willing to take on the challange. This is not fair for them to change our plans from unlimited to a limited plan and charging more if we are not tethering as they say we are. The facts they have are false and they are lying about the fact customers are Tethering. Some might be and they are catching them, but I can assure you, we are not...

In need of someones HELP!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
This is my biggest concern. There have been other reports of users getting the nastygram who don't tether, but who use bluetooth devices or other browsers on their phone. They are getting some of us who tether but are also getting (apparently) plenty of false positives.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vikramdhani:
You can do as you please but one advise "There is nothing free or unlimited in this world and will never be " :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Twiddler:
Uh, no.

They're not detecting what sites you're hitting, but the fact that another device is making the request through your phone (supposedly), so a proxy won't work.

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------

I've read on another forum that there's a possibility that they are monitoring the TTL (Time to Live) value in the IP packets.

Anyone know enough about this to know if this is a possibility? If so, there's supposed to be a registry entry that can be changed to make this undetectable to AT&T.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

No, I have an Atrix, I receive the email last week. Im using cherryblur ROM, have tether a lot, to Laptop and Tablet. Never got a email before, I was thinking it was for the 13GB I did last month, but seems im not alone here.

I believe there is a way.... In the atrix Dev forums, there are instruction to change the APN type of the tether internet in the phone, making it look like if you are using regular internet in your phone.

You change broadband -> wap.cingular.

Here is the post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980636
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Twiddler:
This may be the fix that we're looking for. I will give this a try tonight.

Is the "APN" similar to a proxy? How does this give them the capability to detect a tether?

Is there any drawback to making this change (ie: speed)? If not, why wouldn't this be a standard feature in every custom ROM?

UPDATE:

****** DO NOT USE THE METHOD IN THAT LINK. THE AUTHOR HAS BEEN DETECTED *******
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bioert:
Don't know about the Proxy thing. But it look like the phone internet signal is different from tether and MMS. At the Atrix, you need a tether plan to use the dock with 4g(LAME), so doing this change enable the use of the dock.

There is no drawback on speed, for me is working very good.

I have used this "method" before and never got an email, then switched ROM and forgot to edit it. Now I changed it since I got the email.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottx .:
That really sucks that they want you to sign up to pay them.

Sprint charges for it also.

I run MIUI and I wonder if they would detect if I used it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathpulse:
If they change the terms of contract like this cant you just leave and go to a new provider? nothing like proves a change in terms is a bad idea like losing business.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It's not a change in terms - tethering on a non-tethering plan has always been disallowed. It's just getting enforced more strictly now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Twiddler:
UPDATE: This method DOES NOT WORK.

The creator of the thread in that link got a letter using the method that he posted. Apparently, in his words, they are either using TTL (time to live) or packet sniffing on high data usage users. Although they would never admit to the latter considering it is illegal.

So that leaves us with TTL (unless someone has any other way). Is there a way to spoof the TTL to make it appear that the data is being consumed at the phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] veener79:
Just wondering if they are using TTL and I tether with a Android Tablet would they see I am on a tablet and not on my phone? I am thinking of getting tablet. Just wondering.
