[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
I have had my nexus s for 2 days now, and I was shocked to see 2 system updates already! Wow dude I didn't know what to do or know how to act! Lmao. I suppose we all have learned our lesson, I think the most important thing for me now when buying a phone is support. It's a total shame our beloved XT's didn't receive any. Not one single friggen update. It's because of that they should have taken them off the shelves and for sure should not still be selling them now.

But even with my new nexus, I can't see letting go of my XT. The Nexus is great and all, fully supported, but for me it lacks the excitement our XT brings. It sucks I don't know enough about developing I can't dig into this phone further and have to rely on other dev's but the ride along the way knowing we are supporting this phone ourselves and doing a damn good job of it is very exciting. I love trying out new ROM's and new patches and crankin this baby up to see the improvements. So for me it would be nice to develop the cameras as main goal cause if it could perform like I was sold into believing that will be a another great reason to keep my xt, along with having smart, determined dev's still hanging around to help support it. Once we lose our fellow XT user support then that will be the end of our beloved XT720. It will be a sad sad day when we find our selves in this forum with no one posting, or no one answering our stupid questions lol. That is why I am so very grateful for Mioze7A and Brianlee and JYdaddy and whoever else is helping keep our phone alive!
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Sort of off topic, but anyway.

That wireless policy was published July 2011. mchlbenner was *cut off* at 5GB--not throttled. So clearly there is the garden path of what CBW advertises and doesn't delete from their facebook page and what they actually do in the field. It wasn't too long ago that CBW was touting their unlimited plan as a key feature that differentiates their service from the other national carriers in their facebook comments. Anyway, I'm pretty happy with CBW except for the sim lock bull****, but lets not pretend they haven't quietly redefined "unlimited". It's probably related to the rollout of the "4G" network, but that's apologetics.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
I can confirm CBW does throttle data. Here's a text they sent me a few days ago.

CBW: Due to your high data usage your speeds will be reduced until the start of your next billing period. ?s 611 from your mobile phone

I'm pretty pissed if you ask me. I used my 5 gigs in the first 5 days of my month so now I'm stuck with the blazing fast 3G speed of .12 MB download. And yes that's ".12" sprint is sounding pretty good about now. Just saw there commercial for NO throttled data. Just 20 bucks more than a pay now tho.

P.S. I miss you guys!! You should all get a nexus s and join us.
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
how the heck do you use up 5 gigs in 5 days? my monthly data limit is only 1gig and i cant even finish using it...
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Isn't there some place in the settings to see how much data you have used? I think there is, but I can't remember where. Not freaked out, just curious that's all.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
Well I got my nexus and with so many nightlys and kangs to choose from I was a flashing fool. Hurray for 2.3.7. And I can finally play all the awesome gameloft games so I had to get all the good ones. Plus flash player and Pandora. It adds up quick. Watching a half hour of justin.tv during lunch doesnt help much either. and the restoring of my Google account every flash was part of it to. I sure learned my lesson tho.
[Milestone XT720 General] AA1973:
On MIUI ROMs you have a data traffic monitor integrated in the ROM. For other ROMs I think we need 3rd party apps.

Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
This is a crappy thing to do to customers.

Unlimited data just means that if they do it to again legal action will be taken.

You can't put a.5gb limited on a droid it will eat it up fast.
[Milestone XT720 General] eejin2:
wow... hows the battery life? if i got a nexus i'd most likely stay on stock without root lol. at least thats the most stable.

you know whenever i browse other phones forums the seniors there are like less helpful towards the new people compared to us. whenever someone asks a question they just reply something like "just read the whole thread" or "use google search, it has already been answered". these people should learn more from us...
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Dude that is HighLarryUs that you said that. Liberty was having 9 kinds of hell with the Bravo, so this is the pep talk I gave him b/c he was super pissed and frustrated.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
My battery life is pretty good. I take it off the charger at 630 am when I wake up and it usually lasts all day till I go to bed. I'm always useing 3g and browsing the internet and watching videos. And yea there forums arnt as kind hearted as they are over here. That's why I miss all the wonderful xt720 members. I've been real shy in the nexus s forum since my questions have been ignored like I didn't even type em. Allgamer has a nexus s so I just pm him if I have questions. He's really helpful.
[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i get better batter life on my XT720 than on my Nexus S

i can go a day and 1/2 before having to recharge, compared to the Nexus S, which don't even last me a day
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
Hmm mine was the complete opposite. Xt720 I only got like 6 hours top on a full charge. Nexus lasts me all day. I'm a heavy user tho. I always OCed the XT but never OCed the nexus. There's no need to.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Sort of back on topic but at this point this is now just a general discussion or CBW bashing thread.

I went to lunch this afternoon in downtown Cincinnati and was going to swing by the CBW store in Carew Tower. Lo and behold, the gate was down and all the product was packed up and gone. It was a independent dealer store and Carew Tower is like a black hole for retail, so it was only a matter of time. I mainly wanted to go and see if since they are no longer selling XT's, if they had any spare batteries hangin around. But also I wanted to check out a physical Nexus S and now they are selling the HTC Sensation too.

Side note: I was checking out the Sensation threads and it seems that HTC has an apk in their system on Sensations (might be on other HTCs too but I'm not sure) that logs everything you do on your phone, internet, contacts,...and once you launch the apk, it sends all the info to HTC for "market" research. I think it is called HTC_logger.apk or something like that but you can delete it if you have root. Anyways it doesn't send anything until you launch it, but how may times have we got new phones and tried an app to see what it does before we deleted it from /system?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
From what I was reading, it's a pretty serious security vulnerability on a wide variety of HTC phones
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
So my wife's usb port on the side fritzed out and she took it in to CBW today and they scrapped it and gave her a Nexus S and called it a day. Even-Steven swap. She said they didn't even argue with her, just moved the sim card and moved on to the next person. No additional contract or $
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
My headphone jack has been somewhat flaky, maybe I'll get lucky & it'll just die too. ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
So since this is sort of a CBW bashing thread now, I have some fodder. They swapped out my wife's XT for a Vibrant (She thought it was an Nexus S but it wasn't). Pulled up compare on GSMarena and really the only thing that is different is that the NS has a front facing camera and is slated to get ICS before most other phones plus other small things. No worries on that part. The Vibrant has an internal 16gb and you can add an external to it to (which you can't on the NS). I finally fixed my 32gb c10 card and put it in there. Now I have 48gb worth of storage, almost 2gb of internal and 512ram.

Now here comes that CBW bash. Most CBW phone are "branded" with something on the front that says Cincinnati Bell. Either on the glass or the hard case somehow. This one has it on the top glass just under the speaker. I personally thing that is as annoying as when you buy a car and they put the dealer name right on the car and not the liscense plate holder of something like that. Anyways, I used my fingernail and scratched it off.

Lo and behold, guess what was under it? A T-Mobile nameplate. This one is under the glass, so if I want to take it off, I'll have to take apart the phone. They must have cleaned out T-Mos old stock when they got the SGSI awhile ago and are selling them as theirs. Dirty, dirty, dirty.

This might actually give some ammo to get the phone unlocked bc as we all know CBW doesn't do that. But if I can come at them that they got their phone from T-Mobile and sim locked, then surely they can unlock it when my contract is up.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I have discussed the sim unlocking with them multiple times. Sanity and logic are incompatible with those discussions. On CBW's community forum, the product manager advises to take the phone to one of those independent cell phone stores you see on the corner and have it unlocked there. I refuse to attempt to even recall the stupidity of my most recent discussion about sim unlocking with a CBW person. Ok here's a hint: removing the sim lock would cause problems and service degradation for CBW's cell towers when using CBW's sim. Just try to wrap your mind around that. I dare you. If you show them the T-mobile logo, my money says they send you to T-mobile.
[Milestone XT720 General] mrmako777:
I doubt they will do anything because the vibrant was shipped to them with the tmo branding. I'm pretty sure the panache is the same way (fake cbw logo on the front). Speak with your dollars people, if cbw isn't selling phones because they won't sim unlock the ones they have, they MIGHT reconsider their policy. I refuse to buy another phone from them solely because of this. It's easy enough to do especially when tmo has better phones you can get unlocked and we run on the same 3g bands so everything will still be fully functional
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
Maybe, but I would think if they aren't getting any good phones except leftovers, then they aren't selling any phones, they just might buckle and get run over by the conglomerates. Besides, most people who still use CBW aren't like us, they are just happy with what they got lol.
[Milestone XT720 General] LibertyMonger:
I don't understand why our "what will your next device be" thread was moved or even know how to get to it now but that was our thread! lmao. Oh well. Anyway I got my mom the huawei ascend X 4g and can't hardly find any support for it. I guess since cbw has it priced close to the nexus s and isn't selling very good. It's a pretty good phone and been waiting on an update to 2.3 this month but can't find any info on it. I google it and it shows links to my xt720 posts since I have it in my sig. now that's really no support! lol. I think I finally found one rooting guide but no comments or follow up to it so who knows. Scared to try something if I don't see anyone else trying it.
[Milestone XT720 General] Semseddin:
I said goodbye to XT720 for an Atrix but i never forgot how unique the XT720 was and i will buy it again since my love with xt720 didnt stop but only paused for a while. XT720 was a unique device and it will remain so for me.
[Milestone XT720 General] jp23:
I think this is a great phone that only needs a good rom to be more powerfull, only with a 8 mp in camera, xenon flash, hdmi port, it's a "multimedia" phone, and i don't find any other android phone that have the same specifications and low price... the other "competitive" phone it's the nokia N8 but it's symbian... so i prefer this motorola :)
[Milestone XT720 General] WallaceLau:
Ditto, but I also think it can use more RAM... running MIUI ROM, love it, but I constantly ran out of memory so almost everything is laggy...

Exact same phone, same low price, same powerful processor, good camera, but with 512MB RAM and a good ROM. I'd be a happy camper!

hi guys ,

i am a regular reader of xda....past i was using x10 mini pro & i have installed the custom roms (paul-xxx, stelios etc)

recently i changed my phone to acer e310... i dont find any custom roms and other support ..suggest me the custom rom and even the link also plz...plz...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4251708:
Hello, first o all, the acer liquid mini is a new phone, they is not much forums about it, but i can list you a custom rom, just google ace firmwareband it should be in the first results, some websites may redirect you to a russian website, thats because the rom was develloped by russians, but it is also available in english. I also know forums about the acer liquid mini, but in french: acer-android.fr

acer liquid mini e310, froyo (2.2.2)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheitx:
After Installing a ACE ROM; beware that it may be difficult for some to remove/switch ROM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeTall3d:
Yes just go to System>Update Phone. I just got Acer Liquid Mini updated to Gingerbread (2.3.5). It is worth the upgrade looks much better and neater, also feels much more smoother.

Hope that helps.:)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrenda:
1) napster to go - subscription DRM music

2) stream netflix

3) pandora

4) render heavy splash sites well - my daughts is 7 and loves her disney.com, nickelodeon.com, etc

5) have an app (pay or free) that can play almost any video file
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faugnom1:
1. Yes theres a napster subscription app you can download.

2. Yes

3. Yes

4. Yes, games play fine, a little laggy sometimes, and since you dont have a keyboard while they are running you'll have to work something out.

5. Yes, Moboplayer and QQ Player seem to play everything out there.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
Sorry to say but video support is limited.

Eg you download blue ray rip (even in 720p) then it does not play all the time.

In short Xoom plays H264 movies smoothly if encoded with baseline profile.

You can play 1cd dvdrips with Mobo or bs player.

You may be required to convert video.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Yes, I think so...mostly.

1) I use Rhapsody to Go

2) Netflix--I don't use it

3) Pandora's fine

4)Yes, Disney site works fine, depending on your internet connection, of course

5)Mobo, Dice or Rockplayer lite seem to play just about anything

Xoom is great for most media as you can also load up a lot of fies on your sdcard (or usb drive if you root), so you'll never run out of space.

It seems like your major interest is in listening to and watching media files, andyou may also want to consider that the Xoom does so much more than play media and games---I believe the Xoom is the best overall tablet available. The Xoom is a serious working tablet computer that likes to have fun, too, so hopefully you have plans for it as well. It's also absolutely perfect when unlocked, rooted and customized...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrenda:
Not sure how I will use the tablet, to be honest. Trying to find justification for it. But I know that my 7 year old will love using it and I love music and video. So those are must haves.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
If you mostly want something for simple, accessable media, you should probably be looking at an Ipad, though no flash, no sd card etc. The Xoom is very sturdy, but a smart and inquisitive child can do some pretty funky things to it, especially if you have root (which will give you most of the goodies, IMHO).
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit3192:
cartoon films look very good on xoom like planet51 :D

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidstechno:
I'm trying to see if I can ditch my Epic 4G and sidegrade to a Nexus S 4G with spending as little money as possible.

Looks like the prices for new Nexus S is around 220ish, with used Epics going from $130 and up. Wondering if I should just buy a new/used Nexus S, add it to my plan, deactivate the Epic 4G then sell it (it's in pristine condition, had it since launch).

I also have a $75 upgrade available (knowing the Premier program is changing soon) and Sprint is offering $85 for a trade in of the Epic 4G as well.

Anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
That's an upgrade not a sidegrade!!! You could get lucky and find a person willing to trade. Otherwise I would sell it on eBay or CL.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
I went from the EPIC to the nexus s about 2 weeks ago and I will never look back. I had called sprint and asked them for an early upgrade cause I was so tired of that peice of **** epic. They would not give me a full upgrade yet and I told them I want to exchange my phone for a different one then cause I had so many problems with the epic. I went through a couple different supervisors and finally they said ok and I could choose between the evo and the transform and the nexus! U already know what I chose...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
That's awesome. I should of thought of that lol.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidstechno:
I've always gotten phones straight from Sprint with the two year agreement and $150 rebate.

I was checking on Best Buy/Wirefly and right now they have the Nexus S for 0$ with contract extension. How does that work?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punwik:
that contract extension only works if your eligible for your $150 upgrade cause they want you to sign up for another 2 years. Trust me there is no way around this. If you want a new phone like the SGS2 or the new nexus prime coming up and you dont have a full upgrade yet just add another line to your acount and the you get the phone at the contract price. After you do that just put the line you just opened on hold and it will cost you only $10 a month.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v3rk:
i traded my epic for an evo a couple months ago, and today i'm trading a evo for a nexus s 4g. just keep tabs on your area's craigslist. people are always looking to trade their phone for something different.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
Wow you found 2 people willing to downgrade? Lucky!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidstechno:
Does changing phones reset the upgrade credit on the account?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xjreyes:
No it doesn't, I traded my Evo for the Nexus S 4G 2 months ago I also included all 3 of my otterbox cases.. I posted the phone and within 5 minutes of it going up someone called me with a Brand new in box Nexus S.. I freakin love this phone. Upgraded my best friend and my mom to one yesterday. NFC with Google Wallets is awesome
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rem3Dy:
The only way to reset an upgrade is to buy a subsidized phone through your carrier or an authorized retailer.

i used dd to put my backup back-up on the nook. still scared every time i use dd :s so i always echo "my dd command" first and triple check it. but everything worked out fine. afterwords i loaded the nook_1_0_1_update.zip from bn onto the device and it quickly found it and installed it. i noticed right away that the screen is more responsive. i can really tell the difference when using the keyboard. the real reason i wanted the 101 is that i hope it should let me use a certain wireless network that hangs on the webform login. i'll try it out tomorrow.
[Vibrant General] DriftorX:
Hi all.

I'm having an issue with my phone dialer on my vibrant. I'm running Axura 2.3.1.2 and never had issues with the dialer. Anyhow what happens when I make an outgoing call it will error to a message of "sorry the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I have search many places online showing that error but nothing when using the dialer to call out. I would still be able to make the outgoing call and goes throuh

Gh, but I'm not able to use the dialer to get to the keypad to select numbers for prompts. I have completely redone the phone from scratch to clear it up. But it still happens.

I've seen where the suggestion of the network settings about basically the service books of being out of the country and using the phone, which is not the case for this since I've never been out of the country with this phone.

I can receive calls fine and all works with no issues, just only when I'm making the outgoing call. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Do you have google voice installed by any chance? If so delete it, or try reinstalling it. I had google voice crash my regular dialer before
[Vibrant General] DriftorX:
I will give that a try and report back.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

Update.

Uninstalling google voice and restarting phone does not help.

Than reinstalled google voice and restarted phone and still no go.

But... When I make a call and immediately once the option screens come up I press the dial pad and does not crash, but after ending the call it will crash.

All incoming calls answer does not crash the dialer.
[Vibrant General] burntrat:
I don't know if it is the exact same problem, but on Bionix, things would be great at first. Later on, I couldn't make calls. It would FC right after dialing. Someone on here told me to uncheck the tones for call connect and and call end. That seemed to work. I now just have outgoing call vibration checked.
[Vibrant General] DriftorX:
I think that did the trick!! I have not had any FC from the dialer since ive unchecked those settings. Kinda wonder why it was doing it now and not like months ago. Oh well.. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Vibrant General] gocalbears:
I had the same issue with Bionix 1.3.1; the dialer would force-close and exit me out to the home screen, primarily when I was looking up a contact to call. I also had the same force-close problem with Google Search and messaging.

I reflashed my phone with Bionix 1.3.2 in the hopes that this won't happen to me again.
[Vibrant General] gocalbears:
any resolution to this problem in Bionix?
[Vibrant General] sLiKK:
So did flashing bionix 1.3.2 help?

Does anyone know how to retry an OTA update again after it fails? I basically tried it once and it failed due to non-stock recovery, but now that i have that fixed i would like to try it again. However every time I check for updates it says my Galaxy Tab is up to date even though it does not have the new update.
