So I should be OK tethering for my kids infuses when we are away from wifi?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
How did you reach that conclusion from this thread?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Maybe. I haven't gotten a nastygram yet and I tether my tablet all the time, but that's it.

I'm responsible about data usage though - even with moderate tethering I've never gone more than 500-700 MB per month.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
I haven't gotten anything yet either (knock on wood) but I did get one of those "you are in the top 5%" emails this month. So I will be watching my usage a lot more considering multiple, members on various forms here are recently reporting this from AT&T.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TOA Duck:
OMG. 8 gigs in a week. Lulz. How? No torrents on teathering. My 2 cents
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Product F(RED):
I know this seems like a joke, but really, switch to Sprint. Unlimited means UNLIMITED, on 3G or 4G (although you're much safer tethering on 4G since they don't give a damn how you use it). That, and we have the GSII.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] zelendel:
All carriers have a teathering plan in the works, even sprint. Soon teathering will only work with the proper plan. People have taken this for granted and abused the unlimited data which was not designed for 8gb a week usage. I know that is extreme. Think about it. The unlimited was made when the average person had no idea a phone could do it. Hell I ran my whole shop off a teathered connection to my tilt when our internet went down. But that was rare. Now every kid in the world has a phone that can do it, do they use it responsibily? Nope they are streaming movies in class, music.....you get the point lol. I can't blame the carriers. As more and more people live their lives with their faces buried in a phone or tablet, the data network that runs these device will need to be changed from what we are used to. With the new system you will not be able to hide what device is using the connection. So now its time to man/woman up and either get home internet or pay for the teathering.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
I got the email ....i dont tether.

I tethered 1 time last week to test functionality on gtgs new thrill rom....

Is there maybe an apn issue where they think i am tethering when i am not????
[Samsung Infuse 4G] carhigh:
Tethering a infuse thru a infuse would make it look as though I'm not tethering at all, no? No Pc or different operating system involved.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Seriously...help me out guys. What is your set up on your infuse.

Darkyrom/hellraiser with Linuxbozo 1.0 kernel here

I will post sons I am using later. This seems to be something infuse specific ....it isn't all over xda like it should be if it were a big crackdown and like I said before. . I tethered for 5mins on my thrill and that is all.. .. and no other thrill owners got an email that I know of right now

I think there may be an issue with the way some of us have our infuse set up where it appears we are tethering when we are not
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
People over in the Captivate fourms are reporting it too. It is NOT Infuse specific.

8GB a week?! Jesus! That's 32GB a month! wireless bandwidth isn't infinite you know!

Customers like *you* are the excuse ATT is using to throttle the rest of us more mindful (read: 2-5GB/month) users down.

Thanks a lot dude.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
When guys stop raping a data connection just cos they have unlimited, everyone will be happy. 8GB a week is hard even on a laptop unless the user was download or streaming HD movies.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jdbeitz:
I didn't make this thread to get flamed. I asked a simple question. Thank you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] d0wngrade:
I had this problem when I was using my Captivate. I tethered 90% of my data, but never received a message saying I was tethering, I just got overcharged for the extra 1GB of data... :/

I'm currently working on a distribution of Linux that will mimic the Android OS as much as I can get it to. If this works you can tether to your laptop (using my distro) and it will look like phone usage. But the same thing might happen to you that happened to me if you're not on an unlimited plan. :P

[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Only Ozzy:
I don't tether hardly ever but I use a lot of data...a lot. I pay for an unlimited plan, so I use it. I have a torrent downloader on my phone. Been lucky haven't had any emails yet. I don't know how to help you though bro, they look for huge jumps. Like going from using 200-500mb a month to 8gb in a week.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
i actually managed to keep my unlimited i got an email saying there where going to switch me.

1) i acted all stupid regarding tethering.

2) apprently the phone still reports that the phone is still tethering even with out tethering manager. that was some of the info i got out of two of the people i spoke with.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Not to bust your balls, but they're right.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shiftylock:
See, this is going to be very hard to work around. Even if we do use different methods, whether via phone or computer, to attempt to circumvent them from seeing how we use our unlimited data that we pay (rather a lot) for, if you already received the tethering warning once, there's a good chance that they'll just throw you on the plan if/when they catch you again.

Nobody is going to want to test with these risks. :/
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crispy1805:
It seems that someone has deduced their methods for detecting it. It's the browser strings.

Im trying to edit the semcGenericUxpres.apk to make the background 80% transparent i though i had it but i was wrong

What file do i have to edit? I though it was the png in the drawable hdpi
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyDee:
You're on the right track!

You also have to edit res\values\styles.xml (you'll need to decompile)

Change line 267 to

<style name="SEMCTheme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Wallpaper">

(copy the spaces before it too)

Or you could just use the semcGenericUxpres from a transparent theme and then change the semc_bg pngs how you want them.

I can't see why it WOULDN'T work as it just seems to be something for editing the build.prop on rooted phones. It seems like it could simplify build.prop editing. I haven't downloaded yet to see what kind of edits can be made using the app but I imagine some of em HAVE to work.

Any thoughts on this?

I know I know I could just try it and see what happens lol but I was wondering if anyone here has tried it before.

Hey guys.. does anyone in the know know.if the recolutionary guys are close to cracking the new hboot? I had to get a replacement phone aand it hasnt been even half a day without root and i am hating it lol. I dont realky wanna do htc method cause its not true soff and i do not want to put my phone on record of being unlocked...

So i hope they are close....
[HTC EVO 3D] xyojimbox:
Thanx for the advice douche
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
oh oh sorry....

you should wait.
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
Patience man, you wanna get it rooted right, not 1/2-assed like through HTC's joke.
[HTC EVO 3D] husker91:
There's nothing wrong with htcs method... It unlocks the phone, only thing is you have to flash kernels through fastboot. HTC came through kid.
[HTC EVO 3D] Malikione:
I think people see one or two idiots failing at htcs method and think it doesn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] xyojimbox:
I really have no problem with the htc nethod would just prefer the other way thats all.
[HTC EVO 3D] lmbebo:
I too am torn....

Had my phone replaced as well. Would rather have the revolutionary way... but its hard to be unrooted after running rooted for about a month or more.
[HTC EVO 3D] xyojimbox:
Yea man it sucks not being rooted rright now
[HTC EVO 3D] husker91:
Believe me, I would much rather have s-off too, but flashing kernels through fastboot doesn't bug me. I actually use the stock kernel anyway lol.
[HTC EVO 3D] Killa357:
Thought I'd give my input... If you like waiting for the next update to Revolutionary that's fine, but the HTC Method works fine. Only "setback" is that you have to flash through fastboot. Not really much of an issue. And at that you will only have to do it through fastboot if you are going to be using a different kernel. If by some chance you are going to another ROM that has the same kernel then you won't need to do fastboot.

It works fine, I've run CM7 alpha through this method with no issues. Aside from the somewhat buggy alpha release but that's expected...

So it comes down to your preference. Do what you want, it's your phone. Both methods will work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Towle:
use revolutionary now then just revert back to stock and re-run the new revolutionary when it's released.
[HTC EVO 3D] spywhite:
Just curious..

Why was your phone replaced?
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
no offense, why would you want to s-off and root... then get s-on and no more root just to get s-off and root again?
[HTC EVO 3D] xyojimbox:
I cant use revolutionary cause.i have the new hboot they havnt cracked yet
[HTC EVO 3D] husker91:
I'm pretty sure he meant to say use HTC's method now, not revolutionary's...
[HTC EVO 3D] life64x:
That's what I thought also...?
[HTC EVO 3D] gzbrambila:
I used the HTC method and I am rooted and running a custom ROM. Don't see practical differences at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
So with HTC method what happens if you run a custom ROM with custom kernel built in like synergys latest nightly. Does it default to stock kernel?
[HTC EVO 3D] xyojimbox:
Well does angone that knows these guys know.if they are close to.cracking the new hboot? I dont use twitter or anything much so.im not in the kno lol.. hope to see revutionary crack it
[HTC EVO 3D] doron07:
Honestly, how long can you really hold out? I wouldn't last very long so if flashing kernels a different way isn't too big of a deal I would go the HTC way, people have been waiting for the 1.5 exploit a long time now.

Sent you the PM ;)

Just don't distribute it to anyone else.
[HTC EVO 3D] xyojimbox:
No dice nothing happened
[HTC EVO 3D] -Apollo-:
Not if you do this...put the recovery.img you are using, my case TWRP, in your SDK folder. Using adb

adb reboot bootloader

after it boots into bootloader type

fastboot boot recovery.img

Then just flash your ROM from there. Fastboot needs to reboot into recovery I guess. Custom kernels stick! I think the only thing we can't do yet with 1.50 is change the splash image.

[HTC EVO 3D] fsalazar504:
From what I've been reading it looks like you have to flash kernels through fastboot instead of the rom and kernel all at once through recovery. Try it out and see if it works.

Ok so today sucked, somewhere between my car and my house my epic disappeared. normally it is never out of my sight and i have never lost a phone so of course my dumb ass doesnt have insurance.

So obviously i start calling it endlessly to try to find it and then it suddenly stopped ringing:mad: so i know someone jacked it. im so pissed...

I got it in February so getting an upgrade is not likely but i need to know if there is any loophole as to getting a refurbished epic or nexus?

I'm a broke college student so I cant afford a new phone or afford to keep paying my bill for a phone i dont have

Edit: problem solved by the xda marketplace the first person who offered theirs (with a isht load of batterys/cases)lives less than a hundred miles from here I'm gonna get it when his new phone arrives from ebay.

Thanks to all of you guys for your help and making this loss a lot less hard than it was I really appreciate it. I also signed up for insurance too :)
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
www.androidlost.com - good luck. There is a way to install remotely although results are never guaranteed and it won't have full functionality.

Also, if you purchased the Epic via credit card some cards have protection policies within a certain timeframe. Just a thought, I doubt it applies but you never know!
[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Search for lookout plan B on the market, some people have had success.

Other than that, you're not going to be able to get a refurb.

However, after trying locating, definitely report it stolen. Get that ESN blocked
[Epic 4G General] bagelicious:
^ What he said. Try to install Lookout Plan B remotely through the Web market and see if you can track it down.
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Go to the Market and log on through the internet, send a security app to the phone and it will install it. Not sure what ones are there now but then you might at least be able to lock the phone so it's useless to the person that has it

[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
thanks guys i really appreciate it but i know the person turned the phone off, and if they think they're smart they pulled the battery so not only do they have a bad esn phone, everything is probably force closing now cause it wasnt journaled. and im sure the remote apps wont install.

Right now i am seriously considering activating another line for 20 bucks a month (i have the everything data share plan)and using that upgrade to get the epic touch. then somewhere down the line cancelling my extra line through a bargain with retensions or something.

I work at a Sprint store. Buy an Evo off someone ASAP (check the Marketplace, but make sure the ESN is clean first!), then add it to your account here: http://www.tepenroll.com/

Sprint is allowing customers who haven't had TEP on their account before to enroll now, until September 30th. After you add it and it's on your account, wait a few days and then file an insurance claim. They'll take your Evo and give you an Evo 3D. 3 customers in my store, including my manager got an Evo 3D back when they sent in their Evos.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
with insurance

However, as cheap as used Sprint phones are on craigslist, I don't see the point.

A word of advice to the OP, do not ever buy a cdma phone on craigslist without forcing the seller to meet you at a sprint store. Give them their money

after

it is on your account.
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
I wish but my craigslist doesnt have crap, the only evo is $150 AND it has a bad esn. smh
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
if you're desperate

Clean ESN Optimus S $73

clean esn evo $175

Clean ESN Epic $174

Brand new never opened Nexus S (clean ESN) $230

For the short term you could buy an Optimus S off of craigslist for $50~100 at most. My brother has one and loves it. It is a fairly significant step down from the Epic but it still works great.

You should try this and then just go back and cancel the TEP or keep it just incase.

Making a claim now is too late. They check to see if you've made and received calls since it was placed on your account. What he was suggesting was to buy a used phone, add TEP, and file a claim after a few days. You'll get a refurbished phone. I just had a customer come in today with a replacement evo from a tep claim and it was a OG evo, so i can't corroborate the evo 3d bit. Sorry to hear about your trouble. If sprint would let us reps buy the ET I would sell you my epic super cheap. As it is I have a pre sitting around and that's it. Just buy an evo real cheap and use it till more epics are available.

Call in to Sprint, have them add the insurance on your account. September is open enrollement for insurance so it shouldn't be a problem. Be sure NOT to tell them you lost the phone, just that you want to add insurance to it.

Then tomorrow, go to www.phoneclaim.com or call the Asurion number and tell them your phone was lost today. Be very clear that it was today, not yesterday, otherwise they can't help you. Pay the $100 deductible and you'll have a brand new (well, refurbished) phone within 24 hours.
