[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jromankvcc:
Please, be gentle, since this is my first thread ever.

I was reading up on this information at AndroidPolice.com regarding Sprint blocking tethering apps from the Market.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...locking-tethering-apps-in-the-android-market/

In Art Russ's G+, some people were commenting about the ability of Sprint reading NAT Headers to find out whether you're tethering or not

https://plus.google.com/111991876596496628445/posts

I'm not actively using tethering, in fact I haven't even rooted the E4GT yet, but I did have my former Evo3D rooted to tether to my Asus Transformer.

Now my wife has CM7 on her HP Touchpad, and I still have my Asus Transformer. I'd like to be able to tether to them if we're on a trip somewhere away from the house, but I don't like having "big brother" knowing that I'm doing so.

Summarizing, can they detect tethering, more specifically, to Android (Honeycomb/2.3 version CM7 uses on Touchpad) tablets? figured maybe if the machine tethered was running android it would end up being the same or similar "header" (or whatever is called/checked) and wouldn't matter, but I could be way far off.

Please, let me know. Also, please, no bashing; in case this was answered previously. I took the time to search but didn't find this specific case commented after the "iPhone effect". If you find this has been answered elsewhere, please provide me with a link to that discussion so I can read up on it.

Thank you, and best regards.

I don't know about Sprint (I haven't heard of any instances myself) but AT&T has been sending notices to people about automatically changing their accounts to a more expensive tethering plan for awhile now. With AT&T it doesn't seem to matter what you tether to, they catch you. There's posts in either the Atrix forums or Inspire forums on Xda about it, I forget which.

Edit: The thread is in the Atrix general forum, there's over 400 posts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:
i tether to my laptop and asus transformer like crazy and have never had any probs with sprint as of yet. the sprint techs and employees at my local store all have rooted phones with wifi tether as well so they prob would be first to stop when they know that sprint is gonna start cracking down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sisterpete:
can you explain how

Just wondering if you can explain how your tethering please? Everything I've tried tells me its not available with my carrier which is sprint.

I don't need this feature to often, but i do need it.

Thank you for your time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Download Foxfi to your phone, its off the market so do a Google search for it and then get PDAnet Tablet app for your tablet or PDAnet for your desktop or laptop. They all work flawlessly for tethering...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lbcary:
Ive been running custom roms on my E4GT that come with a hacked version of Sprints Hotspot and i tether my tablet,laptop,etc...and ive been doing it for about 7 months or so and ive never had any problems or issues from Sprint. I also do the same thing with my Evo 4G thats runnin MikG 3.11 rom,that also has Sprints Hotspot hacked for free use. However i have heard of a few ppl recieving letters from sprint bcuz they were using a hacked Sprint hotspot,or wifi tether app,for free,but they only recieved those letters bcuz they were using around 40GB,or more, data a month. One excuse to use would be that u stream Netflix to ur LCD/LED tv via ur devices micro hdmi output to the hdmi input on ur tv. just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awoolf:
Can sprint detect tethering? Almost certainly yes, by any number of ways - NAT info, web browser user agent string, types of traffic.

Are they actively seeking out users tethering at the current time? Not that we know of.

I've been (very infrequently) tethering on Sprint since Windows Mobile 6.x, and had no trouble. Think of it like your neighbor's open WiFi - using it sparingly and infrequently, and no one will notice or mind. But if you start torrenting/downloading like crazy, eventually someone's going to smack you. (all of us?)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
There are apps that mask that type of information at the present moment. This question is asked every couple of months. I suggest you google search and look up the hundreds of threads about this and see if anyone has gotten themselves in any trouble. Remember the ones who tether and not like the user above said not the ones who use torrents...

If you do find 1 just 1 please post back here I would like to meet them....

I have udated my sgh-I897 captivate from eclair 2.1 to froyo 2.2 and now my phone will not link up with my 2011 vw jetta's bluetooth. It worked great with the old eclair system. Has anybody else had any such problems and is there any way to fix this problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuloplori:
Try deleting existing connection setups from both sides and then retry pairing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cornfedam:
Thanks goes out to fuloplori. The fix to my problem was so simple that I couldn't see it. DA!!!! I did as you suggested and now my sgh-I897 works first call every call coming and going.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrEcP:
Hey gus - HERE is my question for the pros ;)

Recently i was exploring the /system/app directory in my UD installation.

And u know what i found: the apk named in title...

But hey - I never saw an app or a service in my archos showing me the weather...

When starting it - the apk wanted to install - but it didn't work - also not if I tried to install from another place (thought i could make problems installing an app from /system/app to /system/app...)

Is there ANYONE knowing anything about a weather app from archos?

EDIT: Attached the file - perhaps anyone can figure it out...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Niuseek:
Today I met samsung representative in CPW, who told me that there's no NFC option for galaxy note but it may differ in other countries.

That would alright if it wasn't for engadget article, which clearly states that there's NFC controller inside (NFC controller: NXP PN544).

Does anyone have an idea if it would be possible to use NFC technology if the controller is already inside the device(assuming we'll get ICS)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] glos7777:
I have seen on engadget too.. I think gnote has nfc support maybe with updating ics
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] FNTOG:
That engadget found nfc informations in the firmware does not mean the chip actually is inside the device. Could be available just in another regio...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] win.droid:
Engadget just reported what Supercurio mentioned. May be the phone Supercurio got is not UK version. (donno which country he is from)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Supercurio does not have the phone.

Currently there is only one version of phone in the market. European version
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] XevoX:
If the Note does have an NFC chip, wouldn't it be listed in the spec sheet of the user manual? Can someone verify this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kersh:
Forget it guys, the EU note don't have nfc, its is only for the korean market, same as LTE
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] charlie x:
Yep, samsung stripping nfc from another device because " the market in europe isn't ready for nfc". I'm pretty sure the market would grow considerably if you started putting NFC on your devices since most people will go for a 20 month + contract...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cccy:
No NFC here either even for the prototypes on display (which didn't have the S-Pen even though its listed on the spec sheet.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ozidroid:
I have NFC what use that technology will be until there are a lot more devices out there that support it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zsolti256:
NFC Is probably in the battery, if you check the t-mobile sgs2 t989 you can see what i mean! So its just a battery change, and you'll probably have nfc!

"There’s also NFC support too. We have the strange suspicion that the NFC chip might be integrated into the battery as it carries the NFC sign.

Samsung Galaxy S II T-Mobile

The NFC chip might be hiding inside the battery

Unlike the rest of the Galaxy S II lineup, the NFC on the T-Mobile version is fully functional right out of the box. There is a pre-installed app, called Tags, which utilizes it."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
That's a silly argument that they didn't use for the Galaxy Nexus!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ankydu:
NFC is greatly catching up in India. There are article coming in newspapers here where various uses of nfc tech are being discussed plus there are various TV ads coming on tv about nokia phones where they show content sharing via nfc. tag line is tap and share. I just dont know what is wrong with samsung they are not able to add a simple piece of tech in their devices not even as large as gnote.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Arbition:
Looks like we will need to see if there are 4 battery pins on the device. It *could* be for something else, but I doubt it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] htc6500uk:
There are only three pins on my Euro battery and only three pins on the Note that match up with it.

I think it short sighted of Samsung if customers in Europe cannot upgrade the Note to enable NFC if they want to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Niuseek:
I wouldn't be really bothered about NFC if it wasn't for these official specs.

http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2011/09/01/GALAXY-Note

It's slightly painful to think that this tech might come handy next year and we won't be able to use it with £600 price tag phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lokto7:
Just an example of NFC usage introduced with ICS. It will be the trend set by Google. I wish such an expensive Note will include all the features.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RashaMatt:
lol, you were wanting to pay even MORE?? :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ph00ny:
damn

I was looking foward to using google wallet all over
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joao22:
" Does anyone have an idea if it would be possible to use NFC technology if the controller is already inside the device(assuming we'll get ICS)? "

We need 3 things; 1e hardware, this controller and an antena, (secure element not embedded in this controller but only important for payments, and can be added with SIM- or microSD- card.

2e software, ICS not essential, Android 2.3.? supports NFC, just not with Beam app out of the box.

3e business decisions, especially the carrier!

[Verizon Droid Charge] asdr24:
Our dreams of seeing much support from Samsung looks to become nightmares. Honestly not surprised but still disappointing to see such a new device be left out.

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/10/2...he-bump-to-ice-cream-sandwich-heres-the-list/
[Verizon Droid Charge] hoppermi:
A list from Samsung Italy means nothing to those in the US. Just saying....
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
What ^ said. Still, I'm sure European Samsung android devices will see more support than their US counterparts due to carrier control.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Looks like we'll be needing a port for ICS as well as Gingerbread. I know that that post was for Samsung Italy, but still. Do you really expect us to get a OTA of ICS?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Captain_Nero:
No! This is Samsung great hardware ****ty update cycles.... it's so sad ¡-¡

I am not amused with your phones performance
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Who ever believes that the Charge will get ICS is crazy... It hasn't even gotten gingerbread. Sell the phone and get the Galaxy Nexus. From now on all I will buy is a Nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
I have an upgrade in March. I'm sure something better than the Nexus will be out by then.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
They don't have a Charge in Italy...

I wouldn't get my hopes up for ICS but we will at least see Gingerbread.

Sent from my Droid Charge running Infinity Beta
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Nothing will get as much dev support or perform as well. It's pure android.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
Nothing is better than a Nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
The Charge isn't pentile. Also, the audio codec in the Charge is likely superior. Speed isn't everything. To say the Nexus is superior in every way is negligent. If you want the Nexus, fine. I will prefer the Charge. I will be highly interested in SAMOLED+ HD, but until then, I prefer the Charge.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SO_dank:
So I've read on some other sites people saying were not owed an update and that we bought a phone with froyo not gb or ics. that it would be nice but is not owed. Well everytime i see a app that needs a certain os to run i can't help but think i am owed an update. Imagine buying a ps3 or box to have them tell you were not updating the system and your games will no longer work..this phone cost me 3 bills and the poster is still on my local store front. This is a new phone and we should demand updates. A class action might get them rolling out updates and i think would be ruled in our favor. Just like if a class action was placed against Sony for the ps3 scenario. This is something that will be addressed eventually im sure. Where i work they dish out sonera serious cash for phones and when the time comes there's a program they need that they can't use for lack of updates important sure they will have legal all over that. Sorry just venting.. :) thank goodness for devs and their willingness to share there skills.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
The Galaxy Nexus' pentile screen is irrelevant. Ask anyone who has held it in person. As for the audio code, we won't know until it's rooted. And you'll probably be waiting for about a year before we see HD Super Amoled Plus(like we did for regular SA+)
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
It still suffers from some typical pentile issues, particularly when displaying solid colors over black.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
ICS was successfully ported to the Galaxy S now. Wonder if a port could be successful for us?
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
So you've seen it in person? :o wow
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Not likely due to lte until source is out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] vash1053:
There are closeup pictures of it and the Note, specifically to show the issue. It shouldn't really be that surprising, even the company developing the pentile technology says that the screens need a much higher PPI for the problem to disappear completely.

Keep in mind that being critical of something isn't the same as being a hater. The GN's screen should be significantly better than the pentile screens we've seen thus far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Turb0wned:
This is a completely crazy thing to say.. Sounds more like something someone in denial and or someone that just can't afford or isn't willing to pay full price for a phone.

Prefer the Charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
People who complain about pentile at that density are just nitpicking. They won't be able to tell. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
Since I use mine primarily for music, if the galaxy nexus DAC isn't up to snuff I personally will prefer the charge as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] type_2:
How are you using your charge primarily for music? Voodoo control? If so, which kernel are you using?
[Verizon Droid Charge] timedroid:
Google has stopped supporting the Nexus One less than two years after it's release.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
Voodoo control plus can modprobe the voodoo sound module into any kernel as long as you have root access. I use it with imo 3.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
It's two generations old. Most people who got one will be up for an upgrade soon.
[Nexus S General] swm5126:
Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone could post a logcat and a dmesg dump from a Nexus S running CM7? I just need both of those logs from a cold boot until the system has settled.

It'd be really helpful! Thanks guys.
[Nexus S General] 651stp:
i would of helped you out with this if you posted it in the right section. Posting Q's in Development section is one uh my biggest peeves
[Nexus S General] swm5126:

[Nexus S General] bsbtauldl1:

[Nexus S General] tehgeekguy:
So he's a douche because the op didn't read the rules, the two big articles about what you're not supposed to post in the dev section, or use the obviously labeled Q&A section to post his question?
[Nexus S General] simms22:
out of curiousity, what do you need them for? they could contain personal info.
[Nexus S General] swm5126:
I'm trying to steal all your personal info and be a major douche to all of you! HAHAHAHA!!

Honestly then block out the information that's personal. I never noticed any in a dmesg dump or a logcat from boot up. I'm trying to port the Atmel mxt224 driver that Samsung wrote to HTC phones that utilize the same touchscreen sensor. Not trying to piss anyone off or get anyone's panties in a bunch.

I'm sincerely sorry this is in the wrong section and that I violated the rules. I take full responsibility and wish the mods to move the topic if possible.
[Nexus S General] dario3040:
Wow... give the guy a break...

You almost make it seem like posting in the wrong section is a crime or something.
[Nexus S General] swm5126:
And I'll even agree to pay for the crime I just wish that someone could move this so I can get an answer and not be flamed which was never my intent.

I was on a roll coding and decided some info from Nexus S users would be helpful and without giving it a thought posted in the development forum. I am "developing" after all but I see my mistake since its not for this phone in particular

Like really guys I'm sorry I just really want some info and yes I screwed up thinking this was the place to post.

Watched the video as many times as I need to.

I've rooted phones before so I'm not sure what the problem is here.

It just hangs at the finding device screen or if it does find the device, it fails to root, then can't find the device again.

I've tried two different root tools on two different PCs, USB debugging on, PC mode on for the 1 click and charge only for the other like it says.

No luck.

I have it set to only show contacts that are att contacts and also ones that have a telephone number, but all those contacts still show up.

Hey nerds! Welcome to my ULTIMATE GUIDE to theme ur Ace to beloved Ice Cream Sandwich!

Ok, first up! Me and my Optimus One team has actually created a ROM with this theme but its up to u though... Btw, THE THEME! We have two set of ICS Theme:

1 is the original sleek and sick look by sonnysekhon (resized by boykioy)

2nd is the sleek but too many on his own by AChep...

NEXT!!!! The Launcher!

Launcher you will have two ways! The Stock look or a Clone look...

The Stock look will be a very nicely themed ICS by kovdev but you will need Go Launcher or ADW Launcher but it depends which one you prefer....

The Clone look will be the Clone look-a-like feeling + the multitouch button which is been introduced from Galaxy Nexus and the app is by IntelSoftApps

Liking it already? Slowly! We still got more to the show! Next up is the fonts... Too common already and the font name is 'Roboto'... KA-BAM!!! SEARCH IT NOW!!!

Okay, now u want the ICS Lockscreen? U want the themed or real? Links below

Will have more goodness tomorrow heh... Btw, if u like those recommendations, just press thanks! ;)
