[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathris:
I'm using my Desire on a prepaid account with Telus, and a few months back they introduced prepaid data. The problem is they are charging $3/MB for it. I've talked with Telus and they said there's nothing they can do to disable the feature.

But over the past week I've noticed that my data connection will randomly turn itself on, causing my gmail and twitter feeds to update, costing me money. Its only come to around a dollar so far, but that's because I've caught it every time it updates. If I were to leave it on with wifi disabled for a length of time it could literally end up costing me $5-10.

So I was wondering anyone knew of a way to permanently disable it, so that even if it tried to turn itself on it wouldn't work. My phone is fully rooted and S-OFFed running MIUI, so I'm open to fairly drastic measures.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
There should be a setting there that disables data. I am not familiar with MIUI but I hear that it's based on Cyanogenmod. On Cyanogen the option to disable data is on Wireless & network section>Mobile networks>Data enabled(uncheck)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathris:
Obviously. There's a feature like that in every rom. The problem is it doesn't stay off. It will randomly turn itself on.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stankyou:
Well that sucks then. Have you tried creating a dummy APN and setting it as the default? Not sure it it will work but it's worth a try.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathris:
I should have thought of that. Back when I got my Desire last August I couldn't get data on any AOSP roms because the APN was messed up.

I didn't create a dummy, but instead just messed up the Telus APN, and now even with data enabled it won't connect.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Looks like the phone, inexplicably deleted all the directories and files that were stored in my 32 GB Class 10 Lexar micro SD card. It happened once, a few days ago, and today I was at the point of listening to some mp3s when I realised that it happened again today, although now only the "music" directory was deleted.

Does anybody have an explanation?
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
Which rom, anything suspicious installed, anything new installed, rooted, connected it to a different computer, anything else which might help others to help you?

Also, wrong forum.
[Galaxy S II General] kreoXDA:
could be faulty card. also make sure you do not just eject the card from phone and/or computer without first properly unmounting it.

if it is a new card, or you do not care about data on it, reformat with this tool

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Well, I'm on stock ROM KI4 (Android vers. 2.3.4), my phone is unrooted and I never touched the card since I first put it in the phone, 2 months ago. However the first time I had the unpleasant surprise to find all the directories deleted I was on a previous ROM (android 2.3.3), so it seems that the issue is not ROM dependant. I do have quite a few apps that I downloaded from forums and therefore may be suspected to play tricks. It may be these, or it may indeed be compatibility issues with the micro SD, but what seeems strange to me, is that I don't get errrors in reading or writing files on that memory, but simply all of a sudden, at the point of opening a file, I realize the file no longer there together with its entire directory...

Ok, I was just wondering if I was the only one experiencing this issue, and as it looks so, then I'll keep monitoring the situation to see if it happens again, in such case I'll try to investigate more deeply the possible causes.

Thank you both for the useful sugggestions, and kreoXDA for the link to that utility... It may become handy!

And sorry if I am in the wrong forum (am I?). I thought that this was the right one.
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
If you haven't already, I would strongly recommend checking your SD card using h2testw.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
No actually, I haven't... thank you, I'll do it!
[Galaxy S II General] 3waygeek:
There's a similar program, SDCardTester, in the Android market, so you can test on the SGS2 itself.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Ok, that would a more significative test. And it will let me test the card even now that I am away from home and I have no access to a PC. Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
If you bought a 32gb sdcard off ebay at a knockdown price then I suspect you have been conned.

Try the sdcard test as suggested, it is probably a 1gb card with false code.

If it is from ebay, Dont return item either as recorded delivery will be too expensive, greater than cost of card, phone ebay and they should refund you.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
No I'm quite sure that the card is not a fake. I have been using it for 2 or 3 months, filling it almost fully with no problems of capacity, speed, data corruption or whatsoever. Yes I bought the card from ebay, but from a well respected seller at "normal" price and it definitely came sealed by the manufacturer in its original blister.

I've just tried testing with SD Card Tester and everything looks OK. I get about 10 MBps r/w that if I'm not wrong is compatible with the class of the card.

I'm suspecting more android or some malware, rather than the card or some incompatibilty issues, to have erased all its contents except one directory with 5 pictures in it.

Well, as I said, for the moment I think the best thing I can do is simply to keep monitoring the situation.

Thank you mates anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
You need to do the capacity test...
[Galaxy S II General] bocosrs:
I have been having a similar issue with a genuine 16gb class 10 from kingston. Files dissappearing or beconing corrupt. Assuming its a faulty card but not had chance to check.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
Me too... it's not easy to perform an exhaustive test...
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
And here we go again... yesterday I noticed that all the apps that were installed on the sd card had gone... this thing begins to hurt my nerves...
[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Are you sure the files are deleted or did the as card just unmount?

Happened to me and I just restarted phone, all good.
[Galaxy S II General] JuniorGG:
In fact, that's the first thing I suspected, but unfortunately unmounting / mounting the SD card, even phisically removing / reinstalling it from the slot, and shutting off / turning back on the phone didn't solve the problem...
[Galaxy S II General] bocosrs:
Well just to give some more info. Its def not a mount/unmount issue as the card contents become corrupt randomly. Im just wondering if its a spec issue as in is class 10 causing a problem. My card is being swapped out by kingston so i will update when I can.
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
Yet you still haven't followed the advice in the thread, which was to run h2testw or SDCardTester to check the true capacity of the drive, and ensure data written to is is not corrupted.
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
I too face this similar problem. Use a Nokia 8gb card, don't know if Nokia manufactures it or not. Anyway, my files get deleted too. Apps also get corrupted. Is this a sd card slot problem. Maybe it's faulty?
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gusmode:
I'm late on the bandwagon.. my first android phone, Evo4g running GB.

I've had it a few weeks now and also accepted the latest ota a week or two ago.

Hboot 2.16.0001, radio 2.15.00.0008, broadband 2.15.00.0808, kernel 2.6.35.10-g13578ee (or was it cc). Sw 4.53.651.1

what are my chances of rooting and putting on CM71? Base.d on the wiki, it looks like I'm out of luck, even with unrevoked. What about htcdev.net for obtaining s-off?

I'm also confused on how to get back to stock if I ever need to take the phone back (yes, I've read the readfirst doc), including getting rid of cwmod - back to 100% stock. Is there a way to backup my existing rom/kernel/?? and using that as opposed to an older img?

There's just too much info and old threads saying 'latest' to make it confusing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As far as what mod to use, I'm anticipating cm71 basically because it looks about the most full featured and stable. I have no idea what 'sense' is other than being htc's launcher. I prefer goLauncherEx so if there's something that sense provides that my underprivileged mind doesn't know about feel free to enlighten me.

thanks tons!!

If you have 4.53.651.1, then UnrEVOked should work... not sure on 4.54.651.1, which was the latest OTA security update package, though.

Have you even tried UnrEVOked, yet? Or HTCDEV.com? I would imaging that there is always a way...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delman420:
ok first of all there are a lot of people here willing to help, but first you need to help yourself. do the research, and find out what method will work to root your phone. then read it at least 3 times. then when you start rooting your phone and get stuck people will be more willing to help. i personally rooted my phone a while ago so i have no idea as to what method would even work for you. second make sure you do a nand back up from your recovery when you get one. that will at least take you back to your stock rom, and to get back to s-on well like i said do the research and read read read. good luck and happy flashing:rolleyes:

Does anyone.know who to fix this
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Try going to settings>applications>manage apps>market and clear cache and data. Then re-open market, hit accept and see if that works
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J017373:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
How about this? Do you have Gtalk still on your phone? If so, go into it, go into preferences and hit Automatically Sign in or something like that (it is up near the top). Close out of it and then do the clear market like above and then try to log into the market again.

Some of the gapps work together and some don't. I was having some market issue a long time ago and found that Gtalk "works" with the market. I never use Gtalk, ever but I keep it on my phone, albeit frozen with TB.

Interestingly enough there is no mention of FFC and I can't see one in the pic. Hope that's not the case, provided that thing is real to begin with.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Could be a fake but if this is real I won't care about FFC, it's not like I would actually use it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
I agree. Now that looks like a Nokia WP7 I could love.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
I heard it's a fake.

That's pretty bad since I am still waiting for a 32Gb device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lovenokia:
the specs looks good but i am digging the nokia 800/sea ray design more

I think it's fake:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/25/nokia-lumia-800-and-710-windows-phones-slip-out-ahead-of-tomorro/

Why would the other 2 be called "Lumia 800" and "Lumia 710" and this just be called "900" (and not "Lumia 900")
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
It does look exactly like an Omnia 7. http://cdn.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339306547/samsung_1.jpg
[Windows Phone 7 General] Skyh123:
I think it looks awesome, would love to have a 4 to 4.3 in WP7 Mango Phone, but feel this is fake because it lists 512MB ROM, I haven't seen ROM listings on any WP7 devices because of the built in memory. I just hope the Lumia 800 comes to Sprint, would love a device with bigger screen and no keyboard.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uryu_ishida:
It's fake.

yankodesign.com/2010/12/24/multiple-oss-on-a-smartphone

However, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Lumia 900 will be revealed tomorrow, and it will have a microSD slot.

Why?

Take a look at the Lumia 800 spec sheet. It says "no uSD" (the u is a micro), which sucks. Now why would they advertise a lack of a feature, unless it was to compare it with a phone that has the feature?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yeah, me too, and the screen size is perfect for me. The looming threat of PenTile and 16GB only announcements likely to come out tomorrow spoil the party though...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Best title ever for a thread, Peew. :)

If these specs turn out to be true, then I know what device I'll purchase next. I'd prefer the Lumia 720 design wise though. But the 4.3" SAMOLED screen plus 32 GB storage mean more to me than the look of the device (which isn't too shabby to be honest).
[Windows Phone 7 General] lumpaywk:
I noticed that and thought it was odd and that would make sense i do think there will be a top end devise as well. I just cant wait to see the searay though and hope that now nokia world is kicking off i will be able to get my order in :)

It's a concept designed by MindSailors. Check out the link below and go to the Design Showcase -> Electronic's section to see the high res pictures of that concept.

If Nokia releases something with the body of the Sea Ray aka 800 with a 4"+ screen, front facing camera & 32GB+ of storage, I will not be able to buy it fast enough.

Please don't disappoint me tomorrow! 3.7" and no FFC is no good as much as I love that body style.

Is this supposed to be the "Ace"? If so isn't that device going to have LTE which isn't going to be supported until Tango early next year?

Either way I'm getting an 800. Small screen and low storage and all. That is the most beautiful mesh of hardware and software ever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Question....

Is Microsoft asking the manufacturers not to include slot for SD cards? Is Microsoft asking the manufaturers to limit storage to 16GB?

I cannot explain that Nokia, which usually propose 64Gb storage devices (N9) and slot for SD cards suddenly stopped to propose them once they release a WP7 hardware.

Is it the way Microsoft is trying to promote Skydrive and its cloud solution??? All they will finally get is people living the WP7 boat.:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
To be fair we don't know about storage on the Nokia phones yet. But yeah, relying on the cloud only is crap.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekhwani:
External cards make your system a little laggy at times. That's why Microsoft doesn't promote external sd card support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Ok, I can understand, but if it this the case, then manufacturers shall propose 32GB or 64Gb versions of their phones, in order to compensate such absence of expandable memory.

Customers cannot lose on both sides.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jerome snail:
No Nokia 900 :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
No Nokia for me then, I can't cope with 16GB. Samsung is my last hope.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
Same for me.

Sorry but I cannot accept 16Gb anymore.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Doesn't, or doesn't anymore ? They used to have sd, but recently manufacturers dropped it.

Maybe a strategy (hello apple) for selling hardware with a little more storage for $120 more ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
I think it's more to do with protecting developers and the way that removable storage makes piracy so easy (Even with encryption etc someone would eventually crack it).

I haven't had an android phone for over a year now but it would still be extremely easy for me to go on the internet and find a load of .apk's for premium games and apps that I could just install to my phone for free
[Windows Phone 7 General] pantsaregood:
WP7 was never intended to support expandable storage by SD cards. First generation WP7 devices only had SD cards because the OEMs cheaped out and looked for a way to cut costs on NAND memory.

These second generation phones need 32 GB variants at the very least. I feel like these Nokia phones are a let down. Is it confirmed that the Lumia 800 has no front facing camera?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hwalker84:
Just look at the hands on videos clearly no FFC.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
No FFC. No 32GB option.:(

And no mention of the ace or whatever it will be named, Lets hope if it exists it has a 32GB option and FFC.

The way they were speaking today the 800 is the only phone that will support full GPS navigation.

If that's the case there is no Ace or the Ace will not have GPS please say it ant so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
The Focus S will rule, wait and see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I've lost all hope there will be a 32GB phone. Final decision will be between the Focus S 16GB with a dedicated PMP or a Galaxy Nexus/iPhone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] hwalker84:
The things we don't know is the size difference the Qualcomm innards and camera button added. It's entirely possible that they couldn't fit a FFC, and 16+ GB's.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
If they had made the 800 with a 4" or 4.3" display, that may have given them enough room for the other stuff.

[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Its not like my Focus doesn't perform well, so I am fine waiting for better phones. The 800 is a very nice phone and will serve most people beyond what they need. I am a bit surprised about the lack of FFC and only 16GB internal storage option, but it doesn't make the phone unappealing for the general public.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agp64:
The main reason I wanted to upgrade my phone was FFC, Bigger screen and a better camera. It Looks like Nokia have place the cheapest sensor in the 800 to cut costs. I just hope the top end phones have a better snapper then the 800.

[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
Many people?

the handheld blog did not compare it to other devices and purely using the lumia 800 as a standard...not fair.

slash gear did not say nokia lumia 800 camera is excellent,furthermore, They just got enough time to take few shots. Plus,there are no detail information explaining the Quality of the images.By the way, compare the picture with painting on it and picture with S10...obviously,you can see the difference there. Fanboy....why always can't give a fair view?

IMHO, CNET done a great job here...Nokia lumia 800 pictures are less colourful,too much exposure,cold& and not quick in focus
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Again. I never said its the best camera out there, but it is good. You are the one who is basing your opinion of the camera on a SINGLE cnet report. Broaden your horizons a bit. Look at the shots, they even used different angles. The Lumia 800 during the flash shot was taken DEAD ON, the others were not. Of coarse it was more washed out.
