[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mr_Milenko:
Really.. How would it be illegal?

Sprint wont allow you to get a contract without a hefty deposit and the customer service agent mentions Boost or Virgin. Check.

Boost mobile "retailer" has an Epic 4G for sale with no WiMAX, Ok, nice phone but I want 4g.

Clear (A Sprint owned company) Offers 4g access nationwide.

I buy my phone, Its activated from a retailer on a sprint owned network. Editing the WiMAX settings to change the realm and activating that on Clear is not illegal as you are NOT cloning someone elses information. You're legally enabling your information to be processed through an alternate carrier.

Now if someone was running around ripping peoples phones apart just to get free WiMAX then yes we would have a problem, but this isn't the case here, and before you spout off about apples and oranges this same example can be applied to rooting your damn phone. You're changing something to enable more functionality of a device you paid for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krnla:
Guys this works 100% I know for a fact it does since I've done it myself to another phone and I'm sure it's completely legal as long as the Mac address is your own. autoprime check your PMs please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] david7586:
Krnla,

if you don't mind, would you mind sharing with the community? A bunch of us would be interested in any information that would help in modifying the phone's wimax.

Thank you

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Krnla:
Well I actually didn't do anything to my epic touch other than copy its Mac address to my old epic 4g, which is not activated, and it works great. I was simply stating that it does work without any verification problems or any of that stuff.

any of you guys having problem with serious battery draining issue?

sometimes when i check my battery usage, it shows display is eating up most of my battery juice, it can go up as high as 80%!

I've always set my brightness to the dimmest, off auto-brightness, Standard screen mode

I even try to reboot my phone and the display is still draining my battery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Display is not draining your battery. Time up after a reboot/unplug from charger is the base for all those info.

In your case, up time is about 10 minutes. 58% display means your screen was on for about 6 minutes.

Reboot your phone before you sleep, and let the phone sleep. Next day, check how much is Display using. It will be very less.

[Captivate General] Marvout:
Rogers I896, No Sim, Only Wifi. Rooted. Stock ROM.

Yesterday my captivate lost connection with the server. I have a nice connection to wifi, but can't get anywhere. This happened once before. Market gives me "Unable to connect, Retry" and adding an account to the device gives me an "unable to create a reliable connection to the server, try again later..." kind of message (I don't recall the exact words). Browser and Email, just can't get anywhere.

Reboot makes no effect.

Deleteing browser cache/reboot makes no effect.

Ran FXR Wifi fix - no change.

My Galaxy Tab and PC are connected to wifi and can go where ever they want, so it isn't the router.

Last time I did a factory reset and carefully installed just apps and data where it wouldn't affect the connection. This restored my ability to connect. This time I just did a factory reset, installed Titanium backup and restored all apps + data. ...and I can connect just fine.

What killed my connection on my Captivate? How do I keep it from doing that? This wipe and restore is getting a bit old.

I would really like an explanation of the following...

-why it's so big, so hyped up

-what makes it different than other roms

-why it is in need of an EXT3 Partitioned mini-SD

-if nessesary, requirements for the size of the partition

-why once i flashed it and got it working, it didn't come with the market?

-why once i booted it up the first time: i got my splashscreen, a black screen appears, and it reboots again. once it finally got to the bootanimation, why it bootlooped for a while before it turned on.

-personal opinions of this rom

[T-Mobile LG G2x] unique77:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
No. Your phone will think the spot you wiped is full charge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
Not exactly. I have wiped the battery stats when my battery was less than 10%, and it didn't go back to 100%. Regardless, it was for reasons other than getting an accurate reading.

Can you wipe the battery stats at anything other than 100%? Yes.

Is there a good reason for doing so? I can't think of one. The reason for wiping at 100% is because it's going to be a fairly accurate place marker for obtaining accurate battery charge.

Hi everyone!

The most common problem with vox is one cannot set custom alert tones for sms and mail alert.

I read somewhere that WMA tones can be set as alert tones if placed under Wndows folder or Windows/Rings folder.

Tried the same.

I used http://audio.online-convert.com/convert-to-wma site to convert an mp3 alert to wma. I used 128kbps/22khz/Mono (tried Stereo as well) but it didnt appear in the settings.

Any suggestions regarding bitrate or any other point?

I'm very desperate to apply new tones to my alert since i'm extremely bored with the same tones since years now. :(

Kindly help...

[LG Optimus 3D] m33ts4k0z:
I found out that on the GB there is (almost) no way to reboot the phone into recovery using an app.

I've tried many apps from the market and the only way I get to reboot into CWM is through rom manager and reboot in recovery mode.

Does it work for anyone?
[LG Optimus 3D] jimakos29:
so there is an app to reboot to recovery from. CWM...
[LG Optimus 3D] m33ts4k0z:
No thats not the issue.

What I meant was that all these apps seem to be using shell commands. The ADB commands do not function as they are supposed to. The "adb reboot recovery" issues just an ordinary restart and not a restart to recovery.

With a bit of testing I tried to swap the reboot file in the /system/bin folder and that didnt do anything.

I was wondering if everybody have the same problem or otherwise if a dev can give me a hint of what might the problem be? The reboot file of the GB rom is 0 bytes while the froyo one is 7KB.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgibsong002:
Let me preface this by saying I still don't 'quite' understand the unlocking thing and all the different methods. I think I'd like to stay away from unlocking because it seems it's a hassle and could cause issues with future updates and overall things occasionally not working correctly. The whole reason I have this phone is because of the fact that it pretty much always works as it should. Also with what appears to be no good apps to sideload, I'm not really sure the purpose of unlocking?

Anyway, is there an easy way to just get custom tile colors like black and white, or do I need to first unlock? And if I do need to unlock, is there a simple method that doesn't really increase my chances of my device getting screwy?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
The short answer is: No

The long answer: Unless MS delivers an update in the future that allows you to change accent colors you need an unlocked phone for now. On Mango the program that allows you to change accent colors is Advanced Config Tool by Schaps.

read more here.

As to your preface. Unlocking is not too risky anymore if you follow Heathcliff's post. The purpose of unlocking is exactly to do things you are asking for, e.g. customization like custom accents, icons, tile folders etc.

Also, I am not sure what you mean by "issues with future updates and overall things occasionally not working correctly". I have never experienced problems with unlocking. You may lose it when you upgrade, but that's it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgibsong002:
So it sounds like what you're saying is that the worst that would likely happen is re-locking when an update comes? I'd be worried about the opposite: not being able to upgrade. The other thing I meant was, I hear about things not working correctly and getting errors and stuff when unlocking. I'm unclear whether these are simply errors that do not effect the phones original functionality, or if it can start to mess with the phone itself and cause errors, freezing, etc.

edit: and I was reading heathcliff's unlock. is that a secondary unlock that you can do after you're already developer unlocked? is there a free way to dev unlock or is the best solution now to use chevron? I also read something about a free account for students but it mentioned needing to submit apps which I'm unaware of how to do.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgibsong002:
nevermind, thanks for the help! figured i'd give everything a try. dev unlocked, inter-op unlocked, and used advanced config tools and changed my theme! what other fun things can i do now?

[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
I've got an intermittent problem sending SMS messages, and wondered if anybody else has the same issue?

Sometimes when I send an SMS message, I get a "Message not sent" notification, and the little black/red icon showing that the message didn't go. If I press and hold the message to get the "message Details", then the error is "Unknown, 254". If I press and hold and select to resend the message then 9 times out of 10 it will be sent successfully.

One of the even more annoying features of this problem is that sometimes, even though it says "Message not sent", the recipient will have received the message (but not every time). So when I resend, it's possible that they will end up receiving two copies of the same message.

I've tried Handcent, and that made no difference, and been in contact with my carrier (T-Mobile UK) and they found no issues in the area but I've had my SIM replaced as a precaution, which made no difference. I got as far as sending my phone in to Motorola for repair, but as it was previously rooted, it got rejected for an in-warranty repair. However, when I sent my phone for repair, I purchased another Milestone 2, and this suffers from exactly the same problem - so it's obviously either a problem with the phone model, or the network near my home (although, I've never had problems before getting the MS2, about a year ago).

Using an app called "GSM Signal Monitoring Test" I've noticed a couple of things - firstly my MS2 seems to switch cell quite a bit. There's a cell which seems to be the most popular for me at my home, but every few minutes or so, it will switch to another cell (one of a couple of options) and then, pretty quickly (under a minute) switch back again. I don't know whether this is normal or expected behaviour.

So far, every time I've had a failed message, when I look at the cell data, it looks like there may have been a cell switch around the time of the failure.

Does anybody else have problems like this, and are there any solutions?

Cheers,

Steve.
