Awesome post

I went from lurker to registered to say thanks. A million freaking upvotes for good pictures and a great post.
[Galaxy S II General] sendeth:
what port do they use?

Do you happen to have a part number or a link to what they are soldering in place of the stock port?
[Galaxy S II General] luismisp2:
I like this post. Really interesting, unfortunately I've touched this socket and my internal antenna it has disconnected. Do you think I could fix it if I buy a new socket and soldering it?
[Galaxy S II General] alwaysfresh:
did you find what component was it? because i lost it too and i really need help :(

can anyone tell us what component is that?
[Galaxy S II General] Sliovic:
Ok guys i almost had a heart attack!!!! i though my Galaxy S3 was gone since i rooted it the first night i bought it. (bye bye warranty).

anyway.. like many guys here i tried to boost my phone signal by plunging a wire into that little stupid hole because of the bad reception i get in my room. and as you can see i'm stuck just like many of you...

after reading some posts here a realized that it's only a matter of connecting the two connectors inside the socket to solve the problem, therefor i will just leave the wire there.

EDIT: This is bad !! even with the wire in, it doesn't seem to work right especially when i close the phone cover... i get the 'emergency calls only' thing... and when i get the signal it's too low and even worst than before.... i mean why ??? if only what i need is to connect the two connectors inside the socket ???
[Galaxy S II General] Kris_BL:
*** Thank You x 1'000'000 ***

the same thing happened to me after trying to make my own cheap wire aerial...

i have GOOGLE'd many times to try find a way to get it back to working-order because having a piece of wire hanging from my phone's bum was not nice & i use a SAMSUNG 5301 (Pocket Plus) & the connector is actually underneath the battery, so it caused the battery to disconnect sometimes....

This post is the only one i have found so far with Nicely Detailed FACTS & it's Proven to be Truly Useful ~

Thank You for Making the Effort & Doing the Research, it is Extremely Helpful & Very Much Appreciated !!!

>>> I Salute You ! ! !

[Galaxy S II General] hellcore:
Hi dude, read the entire post. You can replace the antenna socket but before doing that you may want to try filling the hole with tin. Just melt tin with a soldering tool and throw it you'll get something like this.

[IMG="Soldering tin"]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6a/Tin-2.jpg[/IMG]

Then cut it in very tiny pieces, you get something like aluminium paper, use a needle to push:

[IMG="Paper"]http://i00.i.aliimg.com/img/pb/023/829/200/1192416582403jpg.jpg[/IMG]

And this gave me an idea, alumnium paper may work too...
[Galaxy S II General] alwaysfresh:
After bypassing the antenna socket, my phone lost its IMEI and Baseband got unknown. Did any of you had this problem?

I really am desperate to solve this. Tried almost everything on the internet and nothing solved the problem.

Any help?
[Galaxy S II General] elevul:
You guys are incredible. Congratulations for the awesome thread, this was very fun to read! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Dr.Hammer:
When you leave the wire in you switch of the internal antenna. So the only antenna used is you new wire :). Don´t do that:)
[Galaxy S II General] Drx86:
Thanks for the warning! :D

The MS-147 is 3.4 mm diameter (see html.alldatasheet.com/html-pdf/81360/HIROSE/MS-147/735/4/MS-147.html), while the MS-162 is 2.8 mm diameter (see farnell.com/datasheets/58835.pdf) (that's the external diameter of the socket on the board, the internal diameter of the plug that will fit it).

antenna fix

I broke the antenna on my samsung phone by sticking some thing n it I fixed it by pulling the old one of with a knife and fone a old mother board with antenna on it and just glued it down now my signal is fully working again if you have a problem with ur antenna just find and old phone and replace it u dont need to solder it down as long as the connecters are touching the antenna u should get signal it worked okay for me

Hey,

I've noticed my screen (despite having a case that flips over it) has started developing scratches somehow. Can any recommend a good screen protector?
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I can recommend the Case-Mate ones. They are more expensive, but they feel as smooth as the glass they protect which is important for me. The cheap ones feel plasticy and smudge too easily. They are good for practice at fitting protectors though as that can be tricky.
[HTC Desire S] Jahral:
Go Original

I use the Original HTC Desire S screen protectors. A bit more expensive but they are very good:)

But the Case-Mate ones are very nice too.

Hi.

I've tried different themes and the same thing, I do not change the buttons or the color (orange) highlighted on the screenshot (screenshooter.net/data/uploads/bp/vm/ehvi.jpg). My rom is MIUI 1.9.16. Please help. Thanks in advance.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
So when I woke up this morning, I noticed that my Xoom was indicating a new update was available for download and install. I am assuming that this would be a bad thing for me to do, since I am rooted with a Tiamat Moray ROM installed.

Correct, as in I should not install updates as they probably wouldn't be compatible with the custom ROMs?

I have seen several posts in other areas (devices) on how to stop this, but there was a different method for each without any real info on whether it worked or not.

Can anyone tell me how to stop the OTA on a Rooted Xoom? Also, should I be concerned about this update? Would it even install if I let it, and what might it jack up?

I know that is a lot of questions, but anything you can provide help with would be appreciated. Thanks
[Xoom General] iammodo:
Update will fail.

No harm should be done.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
Cool, how getting rid of the annoying nag screen and icon?
[Xoom General] playya:
My friend there are like a dozen threads for this also why dont you try checking the Tiamat thread... That would be the best place for an answer to how to stop something with their rom....
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
What playya is trying to say it's that he doesn't give a rats ass about what you're asking, but he thought it was worthwhile to spend the time answering your query just to tell you that.

It's really simple to get rid of the update nag. Just download the applicable modified build.prop file ( if you can find the right one...), and be mystified as it stops the annoying update pop-up and ****s up other things, like Swype.

-But don't be a total loser by asking about it.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
LOL, I don't mind being told to "do my own search" and yes I did watch tbe noob video, but in this case I did do a search first as I stated in my original post. But the information I saw was all over the place, without any definitive answers. So instead of causing an issue with my device by trying each and every one of them, I figured I would ask the expireinced as to which choice was right.

Thank you for the advice Psychokitty. I had seen several people mention the build.prop suggestion, it just didn't seem like the ones I read were having a lot of success with it. I will relook at that option, and check the "Tiamat" thread again to see if there is a build.prop for my version.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I read this forum twice a day, and I still don't get a clear answer to half the things I'm unsure about. Everyone's setup is different, so if you don't know enough to ask really specific questions about what you have working in the way of mods before adding another one, then you end up screwed. If you ask anything general, people become assholes. Of course, if you knew the specifics to ask, you probably would already know the answer to the question yourself.

That's the part some of these clowns don't seem to get.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ROB281:
now that we have a method of recovery wouldn't it be safe to go ahead, and remove the apps that people have been freezing without issue?

my thought is, if something does go bonkers I can always restore the nand right?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] HaYNigloo:
Well, true... but there is a lot of chatter about keeping stock image apps. Without them, you may not be able to receive updates(ones that get the okay to D/L and install), but then again, you can always go back to the stock image to receive the upate.
[Motorola Photon 4G] diomark:
I've loved this phone except for the fact that sometimes (several times/day), attempting to launch an app causes it to.. not launch..

The issue for me was the default memory (when to kill apps) settings on my phone. Solution was to install autotask memory optimizer (root) from market..

Using the preset Extreme (150,160,170) which allows the OS to kill more backgorund apps (but not services..)

This is *not* a task killer.. It simply optimizes the android OS and the way that it deals with apps.. if you're getting frequent lags (apps not starting/etc) - try it. You do need root for it.. it is the single most important thing that I've done on my phone to make it work the way it should..

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitebrw:
Has any other aria users got the dreaded att tethering text warning? i got one today and was wondering if this was just a ploy to scare us into stoping / changing plans or can they really tell.

i read something about changing the TTL number in our device cause that is tipping them off. Also read about different APN's being used for phone / tethered use.

I have been tethering for well over 2 years now, averaging between 5 to 10 gigs of data a month, so if they can tell that it is tethering and not phone usage why have they waited till now to try and stop me?

Does any one have any advice? :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrumheller:
My guess (and this is strictly a guess, I don't have any inside knowledge or anything) is that they likely went after the biggest, easiest target group of people who were tethering without tethering plans first - which I would guess are jailbroken iphone users. After that, they are probably going after the biggest data users. at 5-10 GB per month, I'd guess (again I don't know) that you probably don't qualify in this category either. Maybe they've finally gotten around to going after the small-ish heavy data users??
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryan583:
Ha I got one of those txt msg today too. Mine didn't have any warning or anything it simply said something about tethering and to call them for details.

I don't think they can change your plan without your permission.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
Sure they can. Stick a sim with no data plan in a smart phone and watch how fast they throw a data plan on the line without your permission.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidRunner:
They definitely will change it. Heard it straight from AT&T guy.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitebrw:
I know they can change your plan of you violate the TOS, which I am by tethering. But it is my under standing that with iphones there is something in the software that is telling them. That is why they cracked down on iPhone users first. Butt I am on a fully rooted aria with CM7. So there is nothing software wise that squealing on me. So is it the way the data is transferred ( apn, ttl, ???), or are they just guessing based on data usage.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikelebz:
ha. When you said 5-10 gigs I was taken back. I went to the ATT store about a month ago and asked how much data I used last month. 125 mb!!!! This is because I am always on wifi unless I am traveling. After hearing this I almost began tethering!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryan583:
I use around 10gb a month easily. The way I see it I'm paying for unlimited data so I'm gonna use unlimited. Recently it seems like I've been throttled back a bit (just a guess not positive) .
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hartleyshc:
Are you using a stock rom? I assume since you actually have the hotspot software installed you are using a 3rd party rom.

Not all roms remove the AT&T apn that you connect to when using hotspot instead of basic tethering. (AT&T paid tethering uses isp.cingular, while your normal data connection, and the apn you should tether through is wap.cingular).

Im a heavy data user (5-10gb+), never gotten a text message to upgrade my account (MediaNET) or to stop tethering (using wap.cingular only)

Also, Ive had this discussion on xda a long time ago, but it seems a very few of us might be grandfathered in. Last time I got a phone (and updated my contract) from AT&T was back when they were AT&T the first time around. Before Cingular. Still buying new/used phones on ebay, and keeping my unlimited MediaNET account. My wife has a BB, and I use an Android phone, and neither one of use has ever been forced into a new data plan.

Ive also always paid my bill on time, and online, and I literally have never called AT&T for any sort of problem. (which from what Ive read, the CSR will instantly upgrade your plan if they see anything awry with your account.)

Check your rom, make sure you're using the correct apn, remove the tethering data plan using your online account tools, and try not to tether so much. (surf, don't download.)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmaskateboarder:
Root

You can root your aria by useing unrevoked... When you have done that download liberated 2.2 rom and flash it...When that is done and click wifi hotspot and there you go.. THis willl also unlock unknown sources option and allow you to get non market apps (Swype) Hope this helped!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hartleyshc:
Bumping an old thread.

After years and years, I finally got the txt message, and a letter in the mail today!

(the tethering letter, not the "we're going to force upgrade your plan" letter)

Going to stop tethering (haven't tethered in months at all, but did use ttorrent, a native android torrent program over the past month)

Been out of contract forever, would hate to have to buy new phones, but would consider changing providers if they get rid of our cheap data plan.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Well, that's a BIG bump... it's probably a pimple :p.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitebrw:
Update

i figured i would give an update to everyone. after making my initial posts i checked my data usage for the month prior to getting the "text warning" and i used 38+ GB (damn torrrents). ooops! hehehe. i guess that explains it.

Some side info, Duh! yes i am rooted. cm 7.1, Using wap.cingular APN

I called ATT, got the special division that was set up to deal with this issue. told the lady that i didn't tether i just streamed constantly. she didn't know anything about how they detected that i was tethering but as long as i didn't tether after sept 30th nothing would be changed on my account. i am still tethering as we speak and no changes have been made to my account. the only thing that i changed (besides a lot less usage) was the default TTL number on my PC.

I guess we will see when this months bill comes in. I'll keep everyone posted. :)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bryan583:
I too called the special dept. And told them a similar story that I stream from YouTube, Pandora, etc. I've also told them I've never tethered and my aria wouldn't let me. I tried it once and got a message to call 611 to enable this feature.

But now I'm a month or so into it and still no bill change.

Side note- I found a couple apps in the market that are torrent apps so now I download to my phone. Megaupload downloaded, mediafire, file serve, ect. And just surf with the tether.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suleeto:
Well, another bump...

Even with the WAP.CINGULAR APN profile I am now getting the dreaded "611" popup. Rebooted twice. Reselected the custom APN multiple times. Still nada. And I only tethered a few times a week for surfing, and only a few minutes each time. So make of that what you will.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl_jones:
What to about my tethering issue

The whole reason I signed up for ATT was so I could tether my Atrix and play online poker (10MB/hour.)

All I did was root my phone and change a PostSQL value to enable tethering. I played poker fine, but eventually got greedy and started D/L all sorts of crap going well over my 2GB/month contract and was billed.

I just recently got the nastygram from ATT and haven't called them yet.

Could someone please explain to me what I need to do so after I call ATT I won't be detected tethering again?

I'm a semi-android newb, but certainly no linux/computer newb. Thanks for help

Can't seem to post in the developer forums due to a lack of post counts -

I recently updated to Mango 7720 on my Samsung focus and I'm missing two features:

Connecting to hidden Wi-Fi networks and Internet Sharing options in my settings options.

did I get a bad install or does the Focus just not support those features at this time?

Thanks,

[Focus General] wmcookie:
RE:

I think that these features will not show up until the final versions of Mango are released for their respective phones by manufacturers.

Also, certain features will not be supported by certain carriers. For example, Mango is supposed to have voicemail transcription but At&t does not support it, while T-Mobile does.

I actually returned my first Bionic because of this, but my second one does the exact same thing. However, my roommate's Droid X2 mirrors perfectly... Is it possible the Bionic requires a higher speed HDMI cable than the X2? I have one of those ~$0.75 micro HDMI cables from Amazon.
