[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_mekawy:
only tried stock.still getting used to Android then I will try some other ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I like stock with root.

People are saying good things about the latest XXKI4.

KI3 with jkay installed is good for me right now.

Having said that I'm using different launcher,contact/dialer,messaging.

Battery and performance has been great.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardabelati:
I have been through flash after flash with custom rom at the end i go back to stock. Has been stable ever since. I like the KI3 and currentlt just flashed XXKI4. Just to see what the difference is between them.

I woul recommend back to stock. Just my 2c

Good luck

Have not used all the ROM's that are made, but right now I'm in love with Androidmeda. It removes all the crapware, and the phone feels so quick and responsive.

Converted 3 other friends who own SGS2 onto it, and they all love it.

I hate Custom ROM's frankly. Some even remove features than adding. Don't forget it's a Smartphone.

Most of the touchwiz roms are good, most are similar.

CM7 latest nightly is very good.

Can somebody help me out with hard reset?

Hello there, i accidentally opened a zip file in ''My Device folder'' on my windows mobile 6.5 (I have an htc eris copy) and opened a picture. Resco photo manager popped up and my phone froze. I took out the battery and turned my device on. It didn't boot and i got stuck on my "ERIS'' screen. I tried to hard reset without my memory card it first said ''checking valid image file'' then ''Step 3 error while updating: Card operate: read retry timeout". Then i tried to reset my device with my sd card and it said "step 3 error while updating : file operate : File does not exist." I do not have leo rom
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Spaqin:
What device do you have?

OK... it doesn't matter much. Reflash your WinMo. Have a look at your device's forums and stick to the instructions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Andza195:
My device is not in the forums. How do you do a reflash?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikew29:
Usually its power and call and send buttons, hold them all down after putting the battery back in. You can also check the manufacturers website/product manual for specifics.

Good luck
[Nook Color General] djcyph:
was just going to use my thunderbolt as an sd reader....when i booted up the TB i got a pop up asking if i wanted to use ADW launcher or sense...i get option to use ASOP dialer or sense as well...only other thing i can find is the cm7 send stats..besides this my Synergy ROM is the same

was wondering if this is strange or makes sense...i kinda like it

oh and the cm7 stuff is still there even with sd card removal from the TB
[Nook Color General] patruns:
This is a Nook Color forum....
[Nook Color General] djcyph:
yea i said i put my nook color sd card in the bolt...thought the results were interesting buddy
[Nook Color General] patruns:
No, you said

Since CM7 is available for a number of devices, how would anyone reading your post know that it was a Nook Color CM7? And since the Synergy ROM is not available for the Nook Color I doubt most here would have any idea what you are talking about.

? No clue either. Sorry, your post just doesn't belong in this thread...... :)
[Nook Color General] mgs526:
Could you be more of a **** patruns?

He was sharing something he thought was interesting. It is understood that it was the sd card out of his nook since he posted on the nook forums.

Hope you managed to get that head removed from your ass.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Pls show some of your education level and using proper language.

If you have some knowledge as you claim "sharing his thought", might you please elaborate what good, what we can learn out of the OP thread? I personally think it is a completely useless post, at least, in the Nook Color General section.

Imaging you are talking about Messi, Maradona, ... in NFL section.

[Nook Color General] ponyboy82:
This is interesting. Also I happen to have the same gear, and many others here I'm sure have android phones as well. I would have been a little leary to try this out myself. Was the Thunderbolt otherwise unmodified, or was it rooted/rom'd already?
[Nook Color General] mgs526:
Bold = corrections

Red = no idea what you are talking about

It could also read:

Please show some of your education level by not using vulgarities. Please elaborate on what we can learn from this thread. Personally, I think this is a completely useless post.

This post is in a perfect place. The General section is for sharing anything that doesn't fit into any of the other sections. The SD Card in question was used in his Nook Color. Therefore, the post pertains to the Nook Color. I don't believe this post would fit in any of the other sections seeing as how it is not a question, theme, app, accessory, or anything to do with android development on the Nook Color. If you cannot understand the concept of a General forum, you really need reassess your decision to drop out of high school. And yes that was an insult to your intelligence.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Mod time :

I was just going to move this thread to the Thunderbolt forum (sorry, but this has nothing to do with the Nook), but seeing the pointless flaming, i am just going to close the thread, and say that the flaming participants should consider themselves warned..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nstong:
I'm just curious if ATT is just bluffing? Are there tethering solutions that hide activity from ATT? PDAnet claims it does, but you have to pay $15 to get full version that accesses secure sites. However I have no idea what PDAnet does to hide it, or it if it works.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xdahgary:
Stock roms will have a program that sends data to att on what type of data is being downloaded. From that, they will know if you are tethering. Custom roms removes that useless program, but crazy big data usage will probably get you in hot water.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
Many of us that were running stock roms got the letter/text/email

They did not change my plan....but I stopped did not tether afyer getting the warnings.

Was in a bbind last week and tethered for a few hours and nada....no warnings etc.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mjwitt2:
I got the message today and I called about it. I don't know how it is they know or can detect it. I stream a lot, but I haven't tethered in over 2 months. Somehow they just target big data users, apparently and assume the worst. I'm going to unroot and s-on my phone and take it in to the store and see what they have to say..;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] the2rrell:
I dont have unlimted data, but i teather My laptop ALL the time at work.....watch netflix, or hulu, even download roms......i never go over 2gigs because thats all i have on my Plan......but i have never gotten a letter or text.

i think its just for the Big Data users<<<
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jahallah:
another good reason to root/ and install a custom rom
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
I tethered a bunch last year when I had my iPhone, I am still currently on the "unlimited" data plan.

I just put the MIUI rom on my phone a couple weeks ago, and tethered to my wife's tablet. She only checked a couple web pages to verify it worked.

The other day I get the email telling me if I don't stop tethering after October 31st I will be charged and put on a tethering plan automatically.

I wonder if they looked back as far as a year and totaled up all my tethering..

Are they really just going after the "unlimited" users??

If that is the case, I will tether through my wife's captivate running MIUI rom, as she is on the 2GB data plan, and just monitor as to not go over...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] crawlgsx:
I've never used over 1gig and I got a letter. I only tethered very briefly 5-6 times I have had the phone. Once for a few hours but just browsing no downloading or anything (internet outage) but that was months ago as well.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mjwitt2:
Speaking of data plans, I gave my old HTC Pure to my brother. He had a "dumb" phone with no data plan previously, but when I put his sim in and fired it up, it used a little bit of data. Therefore, AT&T signed him up for a data plan automatically. He called about it to cancel and they refused to let him off of the plan because he's using a smartphone. I know AT&T requires a data plan with the PURCHASE of a smartphone, but I didn't think you had to purchase one for merely using a smartphone. I think this is down right false. What's the story?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
You have to look into blocking AT&T from seeing your phone as a smartphone which is changing the IMEI which is also illegal to my knowledge. Some people call in and change the imei every time it changes.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
You can change the imei all you want but att still ends up finding out you are using a smartphone. I get calls about the same issue everyday. Put your sim in a blackberry and use data and now u have a bb data plan. My imei shows all 1s and unknown manufacturer but still reads as a smartphone. Atts systems arent as stupid as most of you think
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
If your IMEI number shows all 1's then AT&T shouldn't notice you are on a smartphone. If they notice then there's anothing thing with your APN settings because as far as I know the IMEI number shows up in a system not our billing system but another system where I can tell you what time and day and phones you have used and switched from to.. etc..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] genreg123:
I tether all the time. Custom Rom. No calls or issues.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
In all the time I've done support for my organization across all the smartphone carriers (BES setup/smartphone support/etc), I've never seen any customer have a data plan 'automatically' added to their plan. Every single time, it simply fails to load webpages unless we get on the phone and make sure their data is configured in their wireless plan. I am fairly confident that when people think this happens automatically, it's because they did something wrong or agreed to a data-as-you-go option.

Just the other day I had major issues trying to set up a Blackberry on BES after moving the SIM over from an iPhone. The network refused to recognize the change in IMEI and device information. It took a call to ATT to fix it and make sure the plan was changed from 'iPhone' data to 'Blackberry' data.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] maxjivi05:
Actually I see people get data plans added everyday automatically and I have to deal with them... although I haven't seen a tethered one yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Justinfedor:
@Max. Im a tech and i handle that all day. We use 2 main systems. One will show the imei and the other is just basic t/s but it also shows what phone they are using no matter if the ime says in it. Look for all 1s on the imei and then look at the first system you pull up. It will show the model. Or take your sim and put it in a diff phone and i bet u anything that phone will show up!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socialal:
Yup Busted!!

Yup I was busted and it wasnt for tethering. ATT said I was tethering in Sept. I informed them that i was simply streaming music and that I used pandora rather then the radio in order to listen to music. And that it was not being used to provide internet access for my laptop. that while yes it was connected to my computer while streaming it was to keep the phone charging...nothing i could do to keep my unlimited data, was transferred to a 4GB tethering plan, when pressed as to why. they reffered me to paragraph 6,1-6.2. which basically states that if you are adversly affect their network (i.e larger amounts of data) or tether in any way (connect to ANY other device in ANY fashion to transfer data) they reserve the right to change plan as they see fit.

I Was averaging 6-8GB of data per month and would guess that at max actual tethering accounted for 1GB or less. Seems as if they are mainly targeting high data users and waiting for any excuse to change your plan

.

Furthermore, plans (unless specifically designated for tethering usage) cannot be used for any applications that tether the device (through use of, including without limitation, connection kits, other phone/smartphone to computer accessories, BLUETOOTH® or any other wireless technology) to Personal Computers (including without limitation, laptops), or other equipment for any purpose. Accordingly, AT&T reserves the right to (i) deny, disconnect, modify and/or terminate Service, without notice, to anyone it believes is using the Service in any manner prohibited or whose usage adversely impacts its wireless network or service levels or hinders access to its wireless network, including without limitation, after a significant period of inactivity or after sessions of excessive usage
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cowballz69:
Yea right i bet att told u to post that here as a scare tactic. Show prof this happen to you then i will believe that happen

. This did happen to iPhone users not androids. If this happen to android users it would have been in the media by now
[Samsung Infuse 4G] socialal:
Nope and dont work for ATT and the quotes I posted are where i was told to go by a manager from att when i called protesting the change..check out paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2 of the customer agreement that you signed/agreed to. DUH!!! its happening all over the place. I know of at least 2 other people who have gotten busted (HTC and sony erickson android devices). And NO I wasnt using app the few times i did tether it. I used the native samsung funtionality. and do yourself a favor and google it.I lost my $35 per month unlimited plan in favor of a 5GB $45 per month.

Im going to try calling and talking them out of it one more time....beware the 9am text messages from ATT
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Wait. Didn't you say the first time that you didn't tether? Now you did? So did you or didn't you tether data?

To sort the cid error you need a goldcard.

I had attempted to flash the PC10IMG.zip using a gold card, got the .img emailed to me and copied some hex code over the .img file generated by a WWE RUU with the same radio version, I attempted it twice both returning a CID error.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
Did you look at the link I posted? There is no hex editing involved with that method.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
i just did a gold card and it worked fine without anything else. I'm on a different carrier though.

My guess would be that you messed up in the creation of your gold card, since it's supposed to bypass the cid check anyway (?)...did you reverse the number when submitting it for the goldcard.img? It confusing because in the website it says to type in the cid number, but you really have to paste in the reverse cid number that can easily be generated from the Goldcard Helper app. I hope that helps!

Also see my recent post about using the gold card to avoid flashing eng hboot:

i have updated the Patch ,the Updated Patch is in this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416146

There are two types of WiFi Networks :

Infrastructure ( Hotspot ) WPA,WPA2-PSK which is the most secured connection , usually routers broadcast this and some carriers ( Verizon i think ) , Almost all Sense Roms wifi use ( Hotspot ) WiFi

Ad-hoc it is either WEP or open network which is less security , usually issued through a laptop connected to a DSL line to broadcast a temporary WiFi connection

Android does not show this Ad-hoc networks ( it Finds them in the search , but filters them out of the shown results ) , this patch prevent that filtering and shows those ad-hoc networks

it worked for my htc Incredible 2 VIVOW , hope some one will benifit from it

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kubes069:
What exactly does this do?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tmlhodge:
There are different types of wifi networks, two types are Adhoc and Infrastructure.

Most ROMs only see infrastructure, this fix allows you to connect to an adhoc wifi network from your phone.

If you dont know what the difference between the two are, google is a great way to find out.
