[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garu12:
I thought about it but it appears perfect. Looks and feels like it normally does. That's why at first I thought it was software related. Nope alas it was not. I tried pulling it with tweasers and there is no response at all
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bajansurfer:
Same thing happened to me and I sent it in for warranty with the bootloader unlocked. Samsung fixed it and no charge.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Dang. I hope u can fix it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garu12:
Thanks for the replies. It's impossible to relock in this state! I did manage to unroot and install a stock rom so at least it's gonna look somewhat legit when I bring it in. Going to the Samsung repair center tomorrow (there is one not far from me so I dont need to send it). I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garu12:
So I went in today to the Samsung repair center and 2 hours later my Nexus is good as new :). Pretty classy of them. That's really good service. They didnt even question the unlocked bootloader and it was covered by the warranty. This makes me want to stick with Samsung. When my Nexus One power button died it took like 4 weeks to get it back
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradmikd:
Does anyone know how to force my Nexus s into recovery? Its stuck in boot screen
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastedninjadude:
I have an entirely different issue but it involves me sending in my phone to samsung with an unlocked bootloader. My phone won't boot past the google screen and I can't relock the boot loader via adb. I've already sent the phone but didn't mention anything about it being rooted when I called customer service. Think there's a good chance they'll fix it no questions asked?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garu12:
In CMD if you have adb installed type "adb reboot bootloader"

It will get you to fastboot and then select recovery. Or you can just hold the volume up and power on the phone (I'm assuming that doesnt work)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenfly:
or just adb reboot recovery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
I have Wireless Tether for Root Users installed but when I try to search it on the Market with mine or anyone elses phone, it's not there.

Ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
And after double checking the Market again, it says the app isn't available for my carrier. So it looks like it may be disabled for Sprint customers or maybe just us E4GT people.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
Actually sprint finally disabled it for us. It was reported on a couple tech blogs. Sorry I don't have link since I'm on my phone to show you.

HERE ya go......
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tech7:
Im not likeing what sprint is doing but i can see by the end of the year we gonna loose are unlimited becuase of apple i hate apple they suck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
fortunately it's still available online

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

installs just fine too :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Ridiculous. You honestly think it has anything at all to do with Apple? You Apple hating bandwagoners crack me up.

Please, enlighten us all with your reasoning.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
This has everything to do with the intro of the iPhone to sprint's lineup. Do a search and you will find a zillion posts as to why
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Just because a bunch of people post about it does not make it so. It is speculation at best. I fail to see how the release of an iPhone would make Sprint block tethering apps on Android. Correlation != causation. Pretty sure it is because Sprint is trying to crack down on excess data usage in general and that was one of the easiest ways to do it. Sprint has made a ton of changes to their policies lately and everyone is blaming the iPhone for it. Nobody ever stops to think that maybe they have a plan and that the iPhone is simply PART of that plan.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmora01:
The plan is to save a lot of money bc they have to pay $30+ million to apple for the iphone so this way they get more new contracts! This is why they raised the returning fee to $350 and 14 days bc they know that a lot of the new iphone users are going to leave bc the bad data service. They need the iphone to raise the share price so they can pay for the LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nabbed:
Sure, that is true. But the two concepts are similar.

In science, sometimes you cannot get an unequivocal proof of something, but you may have good correlations between two phenomena.

A scientist may then use the following approach to prove that the two phenomena are directly related: review and disprove all other possible scenarios which may give the same experimental result. Technically it's not a proof, as it is essentially an argument from ignorance. But it's a very useful tool nevertheless.

I cannot see any other good reason why Sprint would disable wireless tether app in the market so close to iphone4s release date.

Maybe you need to stop and think that perhaps there's a reason why everyone has that attitude.

BTW, I think it's time you took that iphone out of your beehind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
The key phrase here is "so they can pay for LTE". They are in the midst of expanding and strengthening their network and adding LTE coverage, this is why they need the money, not to pay for the iPhone. The iPhone is only a piece of their greater plan and all the cuts and changes they are making is to help see that plan to fruition.

k.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
While Sprint certainly needs money for infrastructure upgrades given the short-term-profit outlook that has ruined the economy in the past 20 years I'm willing to bet that Sprint cares more about getting more customers (with the iPhone) than they do about upgrading infrastructure for customers they already have.

How far apart are those priorities? Perhaps not very far, but, I think it's almost obvious that Sprint would care more about new contract customers. Though managing churn certainly comes into play here, that's straddling the line though. Some of that churn will be for Sprint's (previous) lack of the iPhone and some will be for horrid coverage and performance.

But what is going to cost Sprint more? LTE rollout and the rest of the new Network Vision or paying Apple for all of the (estimated) 20 MILLION iPhones they promised to buy at $30 *BILLION*....

...either way you slice it Sprint needs to cut it's costs in any way possible. I would imagine a $30 *BILLION* contract with Apple is certainly likely to accelerate their desire to cut some corners here and there.

But for all of the 'the sky is falling' types out there I wouldn't worry about smart-phone unlimited data any time soon. Now that Sprint has the iPhone as well it is an even playing field...now they just have to catch up with infrastructure and customers...and until they become at least #2 of the big 3 I wouldn't worry about "Unlimited Data" going anywhere. It's all they have to differentiate themselves...the iPhone only upgrades them to 'also ran' status.

...though, I don't say unlimited data I say "Unlimited Data"....you can replace the implied air-quotes with an asterisk if you wish. What "Unlimited Data" will mean in the future may change....but it will still likely be what we have now.

But, if Sprint were to happen ditch the "Unlimited Data" I'd bail to Verizon so fast it'd make a couple heads spin...I'm sticking with Sprint for what, the paltry $10-$15 in savings over Verizon???? Pfffft....It's the "Unlimited Data"...you take that away and I (and many many others I'd wager) wouldn't be willing to put up with their crap.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
Let me help you since you seem to need the obvious stated.

Sprint clearly believes that the iPhone will lead to a significant increase in customers and thus bandwidth requirements. They are taking actions to prepare for these changes. cutting down on high data usage so that the network can handle three new traffic is almost certainly on their minds.

--->	unauthorized wireless tethering consumes data

Do I need to fill in the rest of the blanks for you?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
+1... not a conspiracy therapist type of guy but I too believe the introduction of the Iphone will/has change(d) how Sprint handles things.. My data speeds which were terrible to begin with have only gotten worse, which makes my tethering my Sunday ticket when I am out pretty ****ty...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cbpagent72:
Do a google search for Wireless Tether and you will find the apk.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Glad I got the new 3.1 beta 99 version the short time it was there. Gotta test it out and see if it still works
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
It will always be available from GoogleCode...and v3.1 beta 99 works great. YMMV.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Everyone seems to be missing the OBVIOUS reason they would want to block tethering apps on the market that take advantage of rooted phones...

Sprint CHARGES people for the right to tether their phone. If you can root and tether for free, they are losing out on that $30/month tethering charge.

Plain and simple... That costs them a lot of money whether or not the iPhone is in their lineup.

I'm not saying I'm happy that they finally got smart enough to block apps that allow you to do things that violate the TOS, but its a pretty obvious reason.

Verizon and AT&T have been doing it for 6 months already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
6 months? Far longer so far as I know...but I've not had service with either of them for years.

While I know they could stand to lose $30 from each of us rooted tetherers I don't think that's how they would lose the most money. We are so small in number however our data consumption is likely in the top 1-5%. It's not the $30 they miss from us (which I'm sure they'd love) so much as the 15-25gb more a month that we consume over the average data hungry android user.

Sure, it's about money. I'm just not convinced it's the $30 they are missing so much as the terabyte upon terabyte that a tiny tiny tiny fraction of us are surely consuming in aggregate. Their hotspan plans and devices are now bandwidth limited, remember.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Right, because now that they have the iPhone every network or policy change/update is directly geared towards accommodating said iPhones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rruss:
Can knock sprint for wanting to save money i applaude sprint for doing all they can to keep their truly unlimited data plans they have made changes and raised prices in everyother aspect except plans and im ok with that cant have the cake and eat it too i just want sprint to put out more solid 100% reliable cells
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
You have some serious reading comprehension problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ghostboa:
Too funny. I was thinking almost the exact same thing.

Sent from my GT-P7510
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
The Iphone haters in this thread are funny.In the long run the Iphone is probably one of the best decision Sprint ever made. Sprint needs more cash flow to fix their horrendous network speeds. The Iphone opening was Sprints biggest sale day ever. That came straight from Dan Hesse. I am not an Iphone fan but that doesnt make me closed minded in the term of simple economics. Now that Sprint has more subscribers they have more revenue to pay for Network Vision and eventually the super fast LTE and LTE+. Which like someone else mention is a $30 BILLION investment in a 3 year time span. Simple economics.

So, as out network starts to improve you might want to start appreciating the Iphone, maybe not as a technical device but a device that help pay for our soon to be great unlimited plan.

Another side note. The sprint network as been starting to get saturated since the Evo 4g based on many posts I read in the forums from people who been with Sprint for years. I just recently switch to Sprint a little over a year ago before the big Android rush. I have read many reports of people talking about getting 1.5m/bs+ and recently they can't get closed to that. So blaming Iphone for our network woes based off of limited information wouldn't be too smart.

Also, blaming Iphone for Sprint trying to balance their pocket book is kinda ignorant considering all the facts everyone else is presenting. I am not calling anyone ignorant just their idea's. Simple economics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
While I agree with the gist of your post I don't think it's just that simple.

First of all the $30 billion is for the iPhone. Something tells me their Network Vision plan would cost FAR less...nearly an order of magnitude less. They already have the most towers out of any carrier. They would be consolidating spectrum and upgrading from one 4G to the next. Which as we were told before WiMax even rolled out would be a cheap and simple upgrade at the tower...cheap and simple being very relative terms.

Then you have to balance the influx of new subscribers with the iPhone versus the satisfaction of current customers AND the new subscribers. It seems like they are robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's a very delicate balancing act between pulling in new subscribers to stay competitive and relevant in the big picture while they pay for the new network build out versus pissing off absolutely everybody with a horrible network before they can focus that capitol on realizing the upgrade that will satisfy us old timers and new users.

That doesn't seem so simple.

As I said before, getting the iPhone only upgrades Sprint to 'also ran' status. It isn't a leg up, it just puts them on a level playing field...and while the iPhone might sell more than any other model of phone it is getting slaughtered by the Android hordes. However any Android phone, no matter how amazing, is a crap shoot...the iPhone is a sure thing. However it doesn't cost Sprint a damn thing for the other phones besides any R&D for branding and adding carrier specific stuff (wimax, pcs), bloatware, testing, advertisting etc....certainly not $30 billion.

That's a big risk.

Keep in mind Sprint is also bleeding money. Everyone is excited that they ONLY lost a few hundred million this past quarter.

I'm a big Sprint fan and I do think Sprint needed to get the iPhone...I'm not sure if the deal they made with the devil was smart, but, if it was the only deal they could get they had to do it...they are in a very precarious position regardless. There is no sure way out.

So far as how this relates to the crack down on tethering and gutting all of the perks that made Sprint great...well...I think that regardless of any ass-raping Apple put on them (and Apple is very known for making demands of carriers and every other partner in the past 10 years) that it's a sign of penny pinching wherever they can to stay competitive and hopefully become profitable again some day. So far they have done nothing worse than any other competitor and still have unlimited data for smartphones.

The second they lose that the game is over. Might as well move right to Verizon and get in on the best deal you can to get grandfathered into, cuz, you'll end up there eventually either way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
This thread derailed in a hurry.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
It didn't derail. It got rerouted. Wireless tether is gone from market? Yes, we cleared that up in the first few posts. Check google code if you want it. Why is Wireless tether gone from the market? That's a whole other complicated bunch of speculation and analysis. Frankly I think this thread actually got useful. I mean, ****, if you can't find wireless tether in the market my first thought would be "must be gone from the market", and I would be right. He did as anyone else would and verified that...now we are boiling down the (potential) nitty gritty of WHY it is gone.

If you came to find out if it was gone from the market you have been satisfied in the first few posts. If a more in depth analysis is frustrating to you, well, sorry. If, perhaps, you have more insight...well...please, lay it on us.

Then again maybe we are all full of hot air and conspiracy theories and wireless tether is gone from the market because "Sprint hates us and thinks we're assholes"....I think I saw a press release about that earlier anyway....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
This makes sense. Somebody like me, that tethers against the TOS, but only uses maybe 25MB at a time 4 or five times a year, is clearly not inconveniencing Sprint, as I use about .5-1GB of data each month via normal 3G. The $30 tethering plan is a joke and a total waste of money in my case.

Somebody else who tethers against the TOS and uses it to stream XBox games for hours on end is far more accurately described as an abuser, an really SHOULD be paying for the tethering.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikegoldnj:
Ok...I was able to install WiFi Tether but none of my devices will connect to it. My Kindle tells me it's an "unsupported WiFi Network. Enterprise or peer to peer WiFi networks are not supported."

Tried Open Garden, same results.

This used to work on my EVO. Is it something inherent in the Samsun Galaxy S II?

[Acer Iconia A500] chairhome:
hi,

I came across a weird problem. I don't know if it happened after an app update or what, but when I try to open links in non browser apps, the browser never opens, the screen dims like its trying to open a new app, but it never does. I have to press back or home to get out of it. I tried checking all my apps to see if the wrong program had hyper links as an incorrect default but I found nothing. I use dolphin browser HD and I'm using the Prime ROM. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

probably the worst way to get your transformer stolen out of town....:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
ouch! sorry dude. hopefully insurance can cover it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Danzano:
now that sucks but if you have good insurance maybe a tf prime?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lathanub:
You didn't just leave it sitting there on your passenger seat, did you? :confused:

Sorry to hear about it getting stolen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] temporarily_insane:
Should have installed gotya from market. It's only about $2. It will take a picture and send you an email of the coordinates and picture of the whereabouts of your stolen device. Can even help the cops get the SoB.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xda Newb:
i must have i know i had a pillow up there but the windows are extremely dark they must have seen it from the windshield, because my dr dre beats were in the floor and my sisters ipad and phone were in the back so idk, they only took the tf, i bet they dont even know what it is, im assuming they thought it was a laptop. but yeah
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xda Newb:
too late now... lmao
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xda Newb:
ah my dad said our deductible may be too high but he's going to check and hopefully we will get something out of it, and i already told him cause he wants one too thats its a formal invitation to the tf prime :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] temporarily_insane:
I'm assuming you're talking to me. From now on, put on all your devices a security app like gotya. I started putting it on all of mine after they stole my gps right out of my car.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Optimus-Prime:
dont wanna be mean, but the funny part is that it happened at a frys. LOL. security footage from the stores. im sure they got cameras outside.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taknarosh:
Maybe if the people who stole it are dumb you can install the gotya app from market.android.com?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Optimus-Prime:
True that. they gotta have it connected to wifi... unless they wiped it. highly doubt it though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cavsoldier19d:
There's an old saying....out of site, out of mind. Leaving a car full of electronics in plain site is just asking for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Xda Newb:
lol we talked to them and gave the security Guy our Info he said there wasn't a view from the cameras, he checked
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jusgan:
Try the Plan-B app from Lookout. Worth a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ExploreMN:
Those security apps are only good if the criminal is incredibly stupid. I mean not that I would steal something like that, but if I did, the first thing I would do is a factory reset. Unless they build the security into the firmware like that crap that you can activate in the BIOS of a computer so it can't be disabled, there really isn't a good way to catch a thief.

Hey, maybe I should patent that idea before Apple does?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
Unless he has a lock on it, like I have the pattern unlock enabled (mostly because i take it to work though. i work in a network security company so leaving phones/tablets/laptops unlocked usually leads to a crude e-mail sent as you to everyone in the company haha).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
The simple fix to BIOS passwords, CMOS reset jumper or the old battery trick. Nothing is secure once physically compromised. (Unless it is sealed tight in some Titanium that's capable of withstanding 10kg of TNT)

Moral of the story is: Don't leave valuables in the car and definitely don't leave it out for everyone to see. Heck a teen could've taken it due to iPad craze (thus the TF, oh the irony). I'm sure it was an impulse theft, a professional thief would take more time to throughly look through every cabinet of the car as they already went through the risk of breaking the window... That is just my opinion though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tekkitan:
Most theft when an automobile is involved (unless they are actually stealing the car) is a smash and grab. Especially if it was mid day, it's much quicker to grab what you see than to comb the car for everything they can find of value.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CaNsA:
Assuming the OP didnt have a screen lock code and the thief connected the TF to wifi then yeah that would work.
