[Samsung Mesmerize] jerdog:
It is against XDA rules to require offsite registration. The OP has been advised he needs to remove the password or else this will be removed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] imnuts:
I don't see offsite registration required anywhere here. Am I missing something?
[Samsung Mesmerize] suppliesidejesus:
It's not like he's requiring an account registration, he's simply trying to protect flash-happy junkies from themselves, since flashing this would certainly lead to hurtsville.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jerdog:
Password protecting is akin to requiring registration since you have to get it from him in a PM.

FORUM RULES:

Having a link offsite (CHECK) requiring a password, i.e. registration with the OP (CHECK).

This is XDA-Developers - not Mobile Phone User Support Services For Ungrateful Nerds. XDA is about developing and is for developers. What you do with your device with anything posted on XDA is your responsibility - not his, mine, Joe Blow #2 or Santa Claus. You accept that implicitly when you download and/or participate.
[Samsung Mesmerize] imnuts:
So you'd rather have users that don't know what they're flashing come here, download the package, then come back and complain that their phone is broken, they can't fix it, and the carrier now won't touch it either since it doesn't have anything close to official software on it?

Also, having a password doesn't sound anything like off-site registration. Registration with the OP? Yes, he wants to make sure that the people downloading it know what they're doing so people don't break their phones. Maybe you should clear up the rules better as currently, I do not consider anything about what is posted here to be breaking the rules. I realize you guys are trying to enforce things, but you seem to be grasping at straws here to suit your own personal ideas...

[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
jerdog, that's not registration. there is no account creation, no register button, all it is is a level of security for the end user. he posted this so that respected developers could get a hold of it, not anybody that stumbles onto the post and clicks the link. the best way to do that is to protect the file. no rules are being broken.

[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
no one is asking anyone to register for anything...what kind of crap is that???

i wish you would pay attention to what you are saying, this is to protect people that dont really know what they are doing!!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] bobloblaw1:
A sending of a PM for a password is not a registration. If it were a registration we wouldn't need to describe it as "sending of a PM for a password". There is no external registration or offsite registration. In fact, the password is on XDA. If linking to mediafire is wrong you better apply the sanctions on every damn developer on XDA.

I'm sure that based upon this incident, the next time someone has a leak XDA will be the first place they go to post it. This is just wonderful public policy andcompletely encourages people to share things. Way to go. /sarcasm.

EDIT Actually when you consider it all, this is nearly Kafkaesque. Bizarre, illogical....to the mod the lack of evidence or wrong-doing is an inconvenience. The fact that it will negatively impact the site is but an afterthought. Conviction is the only way. And it will be had by any means.
[Samsung Mesmerize] the_scotsman:
Guys, I can see why Jerdog has taken the stance that he has on this occasion, as we have had many recent problems with required registrations on others devs downloads.

But in this instance, the OP has actually been very sensible in placing a password on the file. If he hadn't, I can guarantee many noobs would try to flash the file and brick their device.

Having a password that is obtained by sending a PM, ensures that it is only given to devs who know exactly that they are doing.

Just a bit of a mix up...we all have our off days, even mods :p
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
My entire reason for posting about this in the first place. Without some type of warning to people that might be tempted to try it, this file which is not even meant for this phone, would surely break their phone and then they would be right back here looking to get help in getting their phone working again. All it would have taken was a short note saying "NOT A MESMERIZE ROM, DO NO FLASH".
[Samsung Mesmerize] the_scotsman:
I disagree with that entirely. I can guarantee you that at least 50% of members do NOT read the entire OP of any thread. And that there WOULD have been bricks, even if a warning was posted. Having a password ensures only devs who know what they are doing are given access to it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
The password thing....I get that...it's cool...great idea. But the reason 50% of members don't read the entire OP is because there are 5000 things that are put in there...but if you notice...the really important **** is in real big bold letters....often in red and if they could it would be in flashing lights. This post has none of that at all. In fact, it was short and sweet and a small warning would have been easily seen.

The fact that the file was not password protected when I first checked and also isn't now just goes to show how easy it would have been for a member to stumble on this thinking "Oh, the latest/greatest Mesmerize ROM, I'll try it". Nothing was ever said that this was not for the Mesmerize, hell, even posted in a Mesmerize forum.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bobloblaw1:
Actually, in the Fascinate forum a few members did an *ahem* thought experiment. In the OP it clearly said to not flash this ROM. This is a troll and a test and it will not work on your device.

Guess what? A number of people still flashed it despite the warnings.

Now, guess what again. These people were the first to spew vile and hate to the OP because they didn't read.

The OP took a sensible position here. I'm glad that we reached this conclusion and I thank TheScotsman for being reasonable.
[Samsung Mesmerize] i4get75:
That's a horrible idea. That's just asking for bricked devices. I guess it's good that maybe people learned a lesson but dang....little harsh LOL

[Samsung Mesmerize] wizayne:
ive honestly flashed this to my mesmerize multiple times before finally creating a tar of the modem without any issues whatsoever. not trying to encourage anyone to flash but it was hard going to find a link for ei20 modem and after going back to stock using eclair i lost the latest modem so.. now ive lost my backup ei20 radio as my hdd died and the feds shut down megaupload so i cant flash just the radio so ill be flashing this again. long night for sure..getting to be far too familiar a scenario lately....

lately EVERY time i reboot my phone (running ics build 2, 3 and 4, stock kernel) it gets stuck on samsung logo.. somehow my phone will only boot into the frigging cm7 recovery which as im sure youre all aware is rather useless to fix any problems im having in ics and leaves me unable to flash, backup, or restore anything. it's quite frustrating and i have no idea how to fix it but by going back to bml, re-partitioning, then odin ei20 modem, cm7 fixed recovery, then flash back to ics but doin this every reboot it getting very tedious..

ive read about recovery loops, but the fix doesnt work for me as i cant mount the ICS /system partition in cm7 recovery...and ive been all over trying a zillion things to get it to work and havent pulled dmesg or logcat but if someone thinks it would be useful ..i wish i knew why EVERYTHING is great, then BANG, reboot and it's FML city.
[Samsung Mesmerize] cbalt:
Not my link, I take no responsibility in what you do with it, If you aren't smart enough to know how to flash it you shouldn't flash it.

[Galaxy S II General] cksdayoff:
Couldn't find a thread on this specifically so here goes.

I hooked up my completely stock SG2 via Kies on the laptop, Kies wanted me to d/l their newest version...did that and then after it connect to my phone again, says there's a new firmware update. Download took about 15 minutes, phone restarts and I go into settings and see this:

Some changes I have noticed right away:

- I can turn off camera shutter noise by lowering the ringer volume all the way down to 0%. Now you guys can take ninja upskirt pics without the shutter noise going off.

- still no google video chat :(

- I can see my battery charge % on my lock screen when I'm charging the phone now.

- Videos can now be played in Portrait mode! What's crazy but useless is that I can stretch the video out toll fill up the entire screen in portrait mode, which looks nasty.

- Under battery usage, my display is eating up 70% !!, I hope its because the screen has been on since I got this update but my batter drained from 100% to 95% in 25 minutes of constant usage.

- Now when I connect via usb to laptop, I have no way to unmount or safely remove usb. I get the usb icon on my notification bar but it says "MTP Connect"

Before the 2.3.4 update whenever I connected via USB, I would get a black screen with a picture of a usb plug telling me to click the homescreen button to safely remove/unmount. But now I don't get the black screen, whenever i connect usb to laptop i just get the usb icon in the notification bar, no black screen, no nothing. I can do whatever I want on my phone even though I'm connected to the laptop. Can somebody chime in on this? Is it safe for me to unplug the USB cord whenever I want now?

Hey there im running Cm7 (one of the 90's nightlys) on my G2x and i just got a new pioneer navigation system in my car. It has BT phone and audio and i can get both connected fine, however when the audio connects it never plays in the car. The music will be playing on the phone and when i turn up the volume it says "Bluetooth audio " but never actually plays. Do you think its a problem with my car deck, or the nightly im running? Does Cm7 even support BT audio? BTW i used both Google music and the stock music player and they bboth dont work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Texan28:
Well damn that sucks...is there any way to get around it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
It's nvidia's fault that it doesnt work because they havent released the necessary drivers for it to work in custom roms.

The only way around it is to use a rom based on the official Froyo or Gingerbread (OTA) roms

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogxku5h:
So I have a SGS II, and am currently on the iPhone unlimited data plan. In order to switch to a 4G unlimited plan, AT&T said I need an AT&T 4G phone's IMEI :( so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to send me their IMEI so I can get this faster data plan? Please and thank you!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroIsntTheHero:
Eh... it isn't any faster? At least not from when I had mine swapped over. The label, which is all that it is, doesn't seem to affect much of anything.

And I can assure you that no one is going to fork over their IMEI for you to give to AT&T.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] termleech:
It's not real 4G and it's no faster than being on the iPhone unlimited plan.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sass86:
IPhone and atrix will never reach 4g speeds. We are capped at 14 or 16mbps I believe... which I assure you att will not reach for atleast 2 years or better. If at all lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogxku5h:
well damn i hear mixed stories everywhere... whatever i can live with 3G until AT&T lights up that damn LTE network.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
dude... no one is going to give their IMEI out. that's like giving out your car's VIN and registration for loan. their faux-G is on the exact same network you're running off for 3G.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
an unlimited 4g plan doesnt exhist with att. i just got off the phone with them and they said that if i want 4g data. i have to drop my 3g unlimited plan and get the 4gb plan.

also. my unlimited data was shown in their system as an iphone unlimited olan. a customer service rep changed it to an " original smart phone data plan" and i lost my voicemail and my data didnt work for S**T!

I also agree with everyone here, no one will give you the imei off their device.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4zyn:
Not true. I had the unlimited 3G iphone plan and got my atrix with my 2 year upgrade. As long as you don't change any features of the plan, you are grandfathered into said plan, and mine runs at ATT's 4G speeds.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
From when I had to deal with this for my father, the current unlimited (3G) does let you grandfather currently at their "Current" 4G speed.. the HSPDA+ ... however, when they launch their "True" 4G network, all current Unlimited plans will not carry over and you can only have the unlimited data with the H+.. if you want to switch to the true 4G, they are going to make you drop the unlimited that you currently have and go with the 2gb or 4gb which ever it will be.. duno if the are going to have unlimited or not.. they didnt really say.. but that is what the ATT person had explained to me when tried to get my fathers unlimited grandfather back on..

zug
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crnkoj:
Buy an att atrix used...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SErooted:
this is what kinda what they told me but did not include the info about running 4g speeds now until they get the true 4g. however i was told if i wanted those speeds. i would have to drop unlimited. also i was informed they have no intention of having a 4g unlimited plan even if you are already grandfathered in. they have dropped unlimited data period!

and to respond to post above yours..... my xperia x10 has faster uploads and downloads then this atrix does. responds better, has brighter display. my xperia is running a custom 2.2.1 running at 998mhz high and low. while my atrix is overclocked to 1.3ghz. so i dont believe the hype that this phone is that great. almost thinking i should have stayed with the inspire and only for the larger screen size. it lacked compared to my xperia as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bzmotoninja83:
Well, lets look at what's wrong here, and whats

"Right"....

1: you have a SGS II.(RIGHT)

2: Its a "4G phone ("RIGHT")

3: Its for tmobile (right)

4:you will never get 4g speeds from at&t with a tmobile phone (RIGHT!!!!)

5: NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU THEIR IMEI NUMBER(right, I hope)

If you have two devices on the same network, both identifying them selves as the same device, one will be shut off. I had a similar issue with 2phones previously.I had a simcard in phone one. With out powering off the device, I put it into the second phone and powered it on. People were sending me texts and calling me all day. Some text Wendy to phone one and some to phone two. My phone calls would only last for 3 seconds MAX.

Now, with that being said, if you want 4g speeds on your sgs 2, go get a fancy mobile hotspot, and Cary that with you too. Until then,

GO AWAY TROLL.

I don't even have the atrix yet and want to donkey punch you through your computer/phone screen...... troll

opera mini DOES display desktop...but its a bit of a clunky interface.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] babbit:
This only works for certain sites. Many sites like Engadget do not adhere to the stock browser user agent. So far, Firefox is the only one that works like what the OP says. Dolphin HD, Opera Mini, and Skyfire may all have settings to set user agent as "desktop", but many sites still go to the mobile versions.

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Hi folks, there are many threads about updating to Mango so I want a simple and clear post so everyone understands it.

7390 -> 7720 unconfirmed

7392 -> 7720 unconfirmed

7660 -> 7720 unconfirmed

7712 -> 7720 success on v1.3, chevron unlocked, samsung tools 0.7 work (preinstalled)

7720 RTM -> 7720 success on v1.3, chevron unlock preserved

I'm v1.3 on AT&T, had 7712 beta ISV and received 3 updates (7720, cleanup and Samsung update). Still unlocked via GPRS settings/unlock.xml (sms xap).

Whole process took about 90 mins.

I have now:

OS Version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision: 2103.11.8.1

Hardware revision: 3.1.0.7

Radio software: 2103.11.8.1

Radio hardware: 0.0.0.3

Bootloader: 5.8.0.2

Chip SOC: 0.36.2.0

if you started from the versions above, please confirm success and unlock status. Also include any others versions I haven't, and I will update

Ideally: OS version (7xxx), success or not, hw version (1.3/1.4), matching or not final revision numbers (just list differences for firmware, radio software/hw etc)

Thanks!

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] adityamunshi:
Is it advisable to first install Mango RTM to get the official release of Mango for Focus 1.4 ? Or will it be risky?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
WP& Root tools 0.7 for Mango ;)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Both methods imply more or less the same thing, from a technical perspective.

I suggest you update normally, to avoid any possible mishaps as in the Walshed phones. So far, there is no indication that if you force the RTM will be issues afterwards, but I personally wouldn't risk it. The numbers are the same if you do and you will still get the 2 updates from Ms-cleanup/Samsung as posted across the forum. So, your choice.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoxpolice:
I am not new to the phone and I have done battery calibrations many times. I used MIUI for a long time, then went to Pinnacle 1.1. After a few weeks one night after fully charging, I unplugged the charger and it dropped to 70% instantly. I could then plug the charger back in and it will not move from 70% for a while, then it will register 'fully charged'. Removal of the charger again will make it drop to 70%. Turning off the device and charging will show the green battery about 2/3 full, but not registering full. I then went back to MIUI thinking it was a rom flaw, but this problem has persisted. I am right now charging on stock JF6 with the same results. If this is indicative of a defective battery, has anyone seen this before? The battery is 14 months old.

TL;DR - It seems that the battery wont charge past 70% regardless of ROM/Kernel.
