[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
yea but the guy above that i mentioned is on track for using 32 + gigs .. in tethering
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdbeitz:
Yeah, I used that much the other week... I've been running CM7 so I'm pretty sure that AT&T is doing some packet sniffing to see the useragent of the packets coming through. I don't think it has to do with the OS you're running.

I got a nastygram saying to stop by September 30th or they'll charge me. So far this month I've use 18gb so I'm sucking as much as I can before they cut me off!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Whammy!!! Double whammy!! Triple whammy!!! I thought I used net a lot cos I use close to 1.5 GB a month at peak times.. with my avg around 1 GB, and no tethering whatsoever. No wonder AT&T is tracking on tethering users.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
This month is the most data I've ever used, and that's 4.2GB right now.... I don't get how you suck up so much data.... maybe lots of videos..... you know..... lol.

Sent from my phone. :3
[Samsung Infuse 4G] faslane:
Bloat Freeze to block the tethering.apk It won't phone home then ;-)

Works for me and I just updated using the recent 14MB (I think) file the other day. and tethered for a few hours....so far so good anyway.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeclark:
My wife who has a Streak just got her nasty gram yesterday, now she does tether ALOT, but her phone does not even show a disclaimer for the mobile hotspot like ours does. So, i dont think it has anything to do with the update.

I dont tether alot but I do tether and most months stay around 8-10gigs. (most of that is actually on my phone, I like Netflix)

She is pissed because out where we live we do not have any high speed internet options but we have AWESOME data speeds with ATT but none of the other carriers have anything close. we thought about getting one of those mifi hotspots but ATT only has a 5gig one and that is just a joke to to think 3 teens and 2 adults are going to make that work.

Online gaming is another way. While tethering. i used to Play WoW through my cell while tethering with my old Cappy.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeclark:
actually i would be paying the same price i am not for an UNLIMITED data plan to go down to a 4gb plan that allows me to tether. But when I got my Unlimited Plan there was nothing said about not being alowed to tether my phone. to my PC actually the rep in the store showed me how to do it with my old tilt.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] EricNagel:
Lucky bastards... I'm stuck on 2GB, so tethering really isn't a viable replacement option for me.

That being said, I find it absolutely bullsh*t that you have to pay for a certain way to use your data. Why should AT&T give a damn how you use your data? I pay for 2GB, I should be able to use it, however the hell I want.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] -Kevlar-:
Got a letter in the mail today dying they're going to add tethering and I haven't done it in 4 months. The hell??????
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Nothing to do with amount of data.. I get the letter after tethering for 5 mind last week. Actually never got the connection to work.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
You haven't gotten yourself unlimited? I had someone do it for me(don't know their XDA user), and I love it.

Sent from my phone. :3
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
Same here, I live in I'm rural area. I got the laptop connect card for a month; it Was actually worst than my phone and dropped out all the time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
Maybe its the modem??
[Samsung Infuse 4G] fabolous50:
Noob question.. Tethering uses your data correct? Meaning if i have a 2gb plan and tether 1 gb, i only have 1 gb left? Because important reading about people tethering 11gb and so forth lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Yep, exactly.

The people who are talking about using 11GB have unlimited data, that's why we can do that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:
Wat how???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
Using the original iPhone...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jrphoenix77:
I think att is just cracking down on tethering. I did a small amount of tethering with my captivate. I now have the Infuse and haven't tethered with it at all. Either way i received a letter in the mail from att saying they had detected tethering and were automatically going to move me to one of the new tethering packages if they detected tethering again. I called them up and told them they're just looking for excuses to get people off the unlimited data packages and they better not change my plan. They said "you don't have to worry about it unless we detect tethering again". For the record the last time i tethered was with my captivate using the serendipity rom and the mobile AP feature.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yggdrasil777:
This is exactly why they are doing it. To remove as much Unlimited Data Plans from their database as possible.

Make no mistakes about it, they are a company that like all companies, want to make more money. If they accuse you of tethering, and you did not tether, you had best be sure they can prove that you did. And you had best be sure that you can prove that you did not.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TechGoon954:
How?

I'm just wondering how and who are they targeting? Because I have a friend with a Dell Streak that I rooted for him and installed Dj Steve's 1.90 on it and he uses the mobile hotspot everyday while at work for a couple of months now and never received any notice. But he says he never goes over 2gb a month even though he has the unlimited plan. I have my Infuse rooted and stopped the whole tethering manager but never really use it. :confused:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Probably those who have high data usage get extra attention.

I have had no nastygrams, but right now my data usage is <200 MB for half a month.

Parallel Kingdom on my tablet is not exactly a data hog...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
No thethering and got another notice today. Something fishy is going on for sure. i havent even used 1gb of data this month. ii am calling them later today.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
That's odd. If they can accuse you of tethering without informing you further of how they are doing it (and if you have stopped) then that's the equivenlant of saying "yea, he ran over that dog, even though he doesn't have his car". They have to tell us something.

They can otherwise accuse anyone of tethering who might not be(which happened to one user here who wasn't tethering or never has he says).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
Ya I got the same thing and haven't tethered in a few months. They must have been digging through old stuff for this. So how do we hide tethering? I used to use pda net on my iphone3g, and that had a hide tethering option, not sure what it was doing under the hood. The android version you have to pay for thought (and I don't think it had the hiding option). There has to be a way to disguise what your doing.

edit: Random thought, could they be checking to see if tethermanager is working on your phone? That way they are getting "tetherers" even if you haven't tethered and used any data through a computer, you still are set up to. Anyway I'm unfreezing and going to try using pda-net
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mjgspr95:
Another possibility.... Did you guys use the hotspot name and password that came pre-installed. I used initially and got a random text. Nothing since I changed it.

Infuse i997

Rom: att stock GB (leak)

Kernal: Infusion-GB

OC 1.6 ghz

Voodoo
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I called in today and informed them of the texts...she said it shouldn't be happening unless tethering was turned on. She had no references showing that I had tethered nor did she know how they were able to tell.

She did verify it isn't imie swaps (i change back and forth between two phones) and that it isn't my apn

She noted the account and told me to call in and complain if they change my plan and it will be changed back.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joeclark:
No i have always had mine say something like "Joe's Infuse" and I just got my nasty gram last night. I was hoping that maybe since i was on a buisness plan it would take a little longer to get one. But it is what it is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vijovame:
Haha that will never happen if they change your plan, i got one of my lines changed and i even cancelled the line to push them to add the unlimited back, they dont care...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
We are basically calling every day now. we keep getting notifications but we are not tethering

Got a letter in the mail today too
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
+1 right on!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
If they change it and are unwilling to change it back I will gladly cancel the line. For $45 a month on straighttalk you can get unlimited everything and can use your infuse, and I'm sure you won't get *****ed at for tethering. (Although my understanding is you have to buy a nokia phone from them and keep in your possession, but they go for $100 refurb according to this anyway http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1274104&highlight=straight+talk).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andyrm66:
When using swype, it will say "word added' but then if you try using that same word it doesnt work. Is everyones doing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
I hate, nay, I LOATHE Swype. The version they have on the phone is awful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
the only problem i have with current swipe version is that it will not automatically space a word and a single letter.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChodaBoyUSA:
I cannot type "i" (without quotes) without Swype changing it to "I" (without quotes).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
That's why you get the 3.25 beta. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SAShady:
Yes, when I was trying to type getprop ril.MSL it keep friggin changing the "I" and making it fail.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ChodaBoyUSA:
Hehe, that is what I was doing, too. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comeatmebro:
Does that have a bigger space bar?

Can't type at all with the current space bar. keep hitting the comma or the language button. pisses me off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
It's the one from the Nexus S 4G.
[HTC EVO 3D] catdeerduck:
My Evo 3d has been overheating a lot lately. My phone has setcpu set with profiles and the highest it goes to is 1193 and that's only when charging. Off the charger the highest is 972 Max 384 min. Anyone else have overheating problems with their Evo? From a simple Google search it seems to be an extremely common problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
As a experiment, don't use setcpu for a few days and see if you experience the same thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Mine hovers around 38 Celsius during high load times like after flashing a new ROM and getting everything in working order.

Other than that, I think it just gets a little warmer than usual, but nothing to worry about like shutting off to prevent damage.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
can i ask why the HELL you have your profiles so bass ackwards? lol

just curious why you have it set higher when it's charging... and throttled down when you are actually using it and need it to be performing optimally and at low temperatures...

the phone is plugged in.... and it already gets warmer from simply charging, that's how it works. and you have it spinning all the way up while doing so, and wonder why it is overheating? come on dude.
[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
I'm using an evo 3d gsm and I'm not getting any issues with overheating even when running intense apps like dungeon defenders.I don't think you should be getting any overheating issues with the evo 3d. Perhaps it's something u installed that is causing a wake lock

issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] catdeerduck:
Simple battery saving. Also I use it more when it's charging
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Bring it down to about 800 MHz while on the charger, and the same when off the charger.

Simple lesson in physics... If its cooler, its more efficient. Try to keep the battery and processor cool when charging by lowering CPU frequency. It will help.

bastardized rom. it's fast. get some.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
Hello, so I've created a theme for GO Launcher and would like to sell it on the android market. So I bought the developer program for $25, and then when I uploaded my apk on the developers page, I scrolled down and saw "Pricing:

Free, Want to sell applications? Setup a Merchant Account at Google Checkout"

I click on the link and guess what, my country is not listed on Merchant Account options for Google Checkout. So I just spent $25 and about a week on creating the theme, and I realize that I can't upload it.

Is there any other way to upload a paid application to the market? Other than using a google checkout account? Maybe paypal or whatever?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rootstonian:
You can try to contact Google Support and see if your money can be refunded.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
I was most interested in paying the price but also being able to sell my own apps, but it seems that's not the case, I don't see why my country is not supported, or a lot of the countries actually.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zappescu:
I don't know Google policies about countries in or out the google merchant group.

Unfortunately I think you should wait for your country to be accepted. You can ask Google about timings, maybe they would answer you about that.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LightingZ:
Is there an upcoming solution for locked fastboot mode?

is there a development for that?

I know only solution SETOOL one but it's costs money and alot /=
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
That's the only solution right now either pay a few bucks for the unlock or buy another phone that can be unlocked
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
There will never be a free option for bootloader locked phones. Both methods for unlock require 3rd party software that require "credits" to use.
[Acer Iconia A500] huurux:
i dont know is that normal but my iconia a500 is very lagy whit only 2 pages opet like facebook or cnn...i have the latest 3.2 offical:(
[Acer Iconia A500] deio:
You are not he only one, mine also has lag, every Android tablet is ****ty. I also have 3.2 rooted with ad block and in Pulse Reader, it lags like hell, pages load without full content and the socalled "flash" is inexistent most of the time. Scrolling is crap, tired of stuttering. Everybody that say that their tablet is "smooth", either lie, or have no perception of smoothness. They should try an apple bitten logo tablet, I won't say the name, because haters will flame me.

Or they have overclocked like hell, but i don't like overclocking, it eats battery like a termite. And standby is crap also, only 2-3 days max, compared to 30 like "others".
[Acer Iconia A500] huurux:
thanx i am hope that acer will fix that it is a big issue ,makes me nutz sometimes..
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Dear deio,

I have a perfect perception of smoothness and I'm not going to lie to you - I have A500 with Lightspeed 1.0.4 with stock kernel. Runs SMOOTH AS BUTTER! My brother owns an iPAD 2 and trust me I've played a lot with this useless (for me) thing if that's the idea of "ultimate smoothness". OK, this thread is not about iPADs vs Android tablets (no matter your conclusion that every Android tablet is ****ty), its about the lag OP experienced with OTA 3.2 . huurux , either go ahead for a custom ROM or return your device for replacement.
[Acer Iconia A500] loodeytunes:
Having the same problem since i downloaded ota 3.2. When i say lag, i meant like it takes me a couple of minutes to open up an app (not a specific app, almost any app causes the lag) and even that, when i try to execute anything with the app it takes a few more minutes. Android Market also tells me i have updates for my apps, click on update, and the download status bar will marquee endlessly and would not let me download anything. Was thinking i had a bad update.

My question is (and help me out cause i am a noob): Is there a way i can reflash the stock ota 3.2? I have tried the "check for update" but it will just tell me that my android is up-to-date. Please help, have tried looking in the forum but couldnt find a similar solution.

Another noobish question: If i factory reset i assume it will wipe all data. Is there an easy way i can reinstall all the apps i previously had before the factory reset? If so, will i be able to retain all the progress i made in the app? (eg: game progress, rss list, etc)Tks in advance =)
[Acer Iconia A500] drkalo:
Get Titanium backup from Market - its the most usefull app for me that's why I got the paid version. It will backup all your apps with data. The free version would also do the job for you but the batch process of restoring apps later will require pressing OK on each app that is currently being restored.
[Acer Iconia A500] loodeytunes:
Thanks for the fast reply. It seems that i am not able to download any apps from the moment because of the problem. Although internet seems to be working.
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
Try to download Titanium Backup from their web site. As for the lag, I'm on stock 3.2 and I don't have any lag, the tablet runs even faster than with 3.2, so something is causing the lag on your tablet, I suspect a bad application, it happened to me with my iPad and iTouch, that went slow as molasses, and it was bad application. Uninstalled and everything got fine.

So for those so quickly to blame any android tablet, pleas check first that really you didn't install any crap application, specially cracked or pirated ones, that is slowing the system.
[Acer Iconia A500] Azzay:
LOL Epic fail
[Acer Iconia A500] deio:
I also have this "LightSpeed" ROM, is laggy as hell, this is not a hardware problem, tried with a different Iconia, I also had a TF101, it was a bit better, but lack of USB on the slate made me chose the Iconia.

Sorry but this is about all Android tablets, and I must apologize to you, but I don't believe you. There is no smoothness in ANY Android device.

Ok, recommend a ROM that has the lowest lag, I'll try it.
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
I really don't get any slowdowns. I am however using tabooney with Richard trip kernel set tobuserspace in setcpu. Its been really good for me
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
I'm running EZTerry's "stock" rooted 3.2 OTA ROM without any lag, choppiness, or basically any issues at all. My battery life is what it's always been since buying it in May.

Unfortunately for the OP, if you accepted the OTA you can no longer root so apps like Titanium Backup or flashing a different ROM are no longer an option. You'll have to wait for someone to get root for OTA 3.2.

If you don't mind losing some of your apps, you can try a factory reset, load one app at a time from the market, and see if you can determine if an app is causing your problems.

Deio, continuing to call the A500 community liars and idiots in thread after thread is likely not going to result in much help coming your way. At this point my only advice to you is to eBay your A500 and go buy an iPad. Clearly, the A500 is simply not the device for you and you're never going to be happy with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] kekinash:
deio, buy a f***ing iPad and leave us alone! :mad:

Lag

I've noticed a significant lag when the power plug is on (especially the touchscreen), as soon as I unplug the power cordless everything run smooth... weird

android 3.1
[Acer Iconia A500] jtheking:
My roommate has the Transformer and I have the Iconia, we both lag like hell every two to three hours for about 5-10mins.
[Acer Iconia A500] jyams:
I also have the power/charge lag problem. I'm on stock rooted 3.1 using Richard Tripp's kernel to OC 1.4. Lagging during charging/ac power has been a problem for my A500 since new, with no root. Something about this engineering that makes it a problem for some units.

Going to load Taboonay and see if it makes a difference.
[Acer Iconia A500] gnygny:
Lag when in charge

My config A500 3.1 rooted, I didn't have this issue be4 3.1 update.
[Acer Iconia A500] sminker:
Try thors newest v11. I only get lag on this website for some reason, it takes a quick second for the whole page to show. Its hit and miss. Every now and then it will go away. I watch alot of 720p videos. Both streaming from my home server or downloaded to one of my sdcards. All my daily uses, email, surfing, videos, etc. have almost no lag.
[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
Honestly, I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm running stock unrooted 3.2(mostly because I've been too lazy to revert back to a rooted ROM)and have very little to no lag. Realizing that its all personal perception and that I gave my Ipod to my kid so I don't really have anything to compare it to, I'm way more than happy with the performance of my tablet. The only time I have to wait is when I open up the Acer content folders, sometimes it takes a second or two for them to open. I can definitely live with that, if the trade off is a fully usable tablet that I can customize to my own needs. Battery life is well above expectations as well for me. Usually two days of semi-heavy use before I start to get that panicky feeling that comes when my battery meter drops below 30%.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjimenez650:
Have yet to find a gingerbread rom worth permanent daily use the closest in my opinion was firerats magpie but for some odd reason i cant get Gapps working right for it when flashed(terminal emulator is always missing)

which GingerBread Or Froyo Rom do yall think is the most customizable and stable?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
TBH, I think all ROMs are about the same as far as customization and stability. (this is just my own opinion)

Now it come down to what you would like best between GB, Froyo, etc... That is different. Currently I like the Froyo build ROM. It seem to be running fast (for me). I didn't even bother with flashing the GAPPS, after I flashed the ROM I just went into the market and download the google apps that I neeeded (IE: GMail, Google+). Since I don't use all the google apps.

Don't know what you meant on the Terminal Emmulator. I always have it in all the ROM I flashed.

Currently I am using NameLessFroyo ROM (see my sig for ROM link) as of yesterday for my daily use.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Litesorrows:
Personally FBL is the best to me. I have it Metamorphed to look like Gingerbread, Sense3.0 Font, apps to EXT,I use Zeam launcher *Can't install my LP Plus since LP is the system launcher*.

A good GB rom is dw9009 *or somthing like that* His ROM is 100% pure CM7 Just like you'd get on a offical ROM. Then Sisterchick made a Barebones version of it called DietCm7. It just saves a lot of space, and runs on the phone it's self and not the Swap.

[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
If you flashed EP1W, you're already rooted. I don't know of any EP1W builds that have been released unrooted. Check for the Superuser app. You should have it, and if you do, you're rooted.
