Well, people would tether because why bother having two Internet es, one at your home and one in your pocket? Sounds easier to have it all on your phone as you can tether to your other devices. Also, some people don't have tablets or aptops, etc. To even use, so they use whatever they can but I mean this is unlikely since they can afford such an Internet service on their device.

Also, it's the isp fault of their network can't support thousands or millions of users using their network, they should get better networks, etc since you're paying for the service. For the ones who download like several gigabytes of stuff, why not? It's the Internet and they paid for it. Watching a million videos, movies, watching live tv, etc. Why don't they leech off starbucks? Because they are paying for an "unlimited" service.

For the throttling, I find it stupid, or good. Stupid because unlimited users shouldn't be doing because they use a lot, it's a service they paid for. Well, how much they throttle anyways? But it's good because at the end of the month, that's when team network is the fastest, if the heavy users get throttled.

Either way, I think throttling is stupid and bad for user who paid for unlimited Internet,.

Why not? Although home Internet is faster, why pay for home when you have unlimited 3g/4g?

Im on sprint, so we have unlimited data in our contracts. I think its my right to use it in any way i like just like i do at home with fios. i can plug in any device i want into my router. I could give my dog her own videophone and verizon wont care. Cell carriers should be the same, they should treat it as a just a connection, thats it. we would all be happier.
[Networking] nosit1:
I was on AT&T. Got the tethering notice and decided no more with them. I switched to Verizon.

When I tether, I really don't use that much data than I would on my phone. I average around 6.5GB a month on my phone usual data. From there, I would venture to say 2GB of data is tethering and when it's done, it's usually not even their peak network times. I don't think it's unethical because data is data. A byte is a byte whether it originated on the phone or the other device. The company has the capability, they just want more money for it.

Really, it boils down to moderation. If everyone tethered, but did it moderately, we could all enjoy it. But for the 105GB guy, he ruins it for all of us.
[Networking] Twiddler:
I agree.

As our devices become capable of higher volumes of data in a billing period, AT&T markets faster speeds (translation: greater volume in less time), more apps (translation: more downloads, more apps pulling data), we are expected not to use greater volumes of data if we have an unlimited contract.

As for people who say that power users cause network bottlenecks, I would like to see data to prove this allegation. I haven't seen any information to support this allegation. I believe that AT&T's network problems, including cell towers that lose internet, are a much bigger problem.
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Power users don't cause the bottleneck. There's so few who actually use over a fairly small amount of data that it's ridiculous for the carriers to say that power users are the cause of network congestion and general slowness, which prompt data caps and other unpleasantness.

The actual issue is similar to Comcast's handling of torrenters. The whole Sandvine debacle wasn't caused because so many people were torrenting that the network couldn't handle it. The cause was simple greed and laziness--the provider sold more bandwidth than they actually possessed. The same is true for the mobile networks, as well. These guys know that "unlimited" is the magic word to sell data plans, but they don't want to spend the money necessary to expand network infrastructure to actually handle unlimited data access from thousands upon thousands of subscribers. So they blame it on the handful of folks who actually make use of the whole unlimited part, and throttle or cap bandwidth.

If they had been honest to begin with, we probably wouldn't be so torqued about it all.

I'm on T-Mobile and I tether fairly often, but not to excess, mostly because I have a 2GB cap and I'm almost always in a place where I can get wifi. The tethering is there for those 1% of times when there's no 802.11 nearby and I need to get my laptop online for whatever reason.

I pay for my bandwidth, I ought to be able to use it however I please. T-Mobile doesn't seem to mind whether my bits are pulled down through my Nexus S or my laptop.

[HTC Amaze 4G] devilnick:
Hi, I really would love to flash the new quick sence rom for my HTC Amaze but I don't want to lose the awesome stock keyboard, it's the only keyboard that I found with a decent Canadian French dictionary and SWYPE!! :D

Here is my question: Could I just back up the app (which app is it) with an app such as titanium backup or is there a more complicated way to get this keyboard app as a .apk that I could install on any android phone (or the some one but with quick sence :D)

I'm all new in these forums so take it easy on me ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
That ROM already has the stock keyboard. Typing from it now!
[HTC Amaze 4G] devilnick:
The one from telus or the one from t-mobile? Do you have Canadian French keyboard? :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
I see what you're saying now..it has just the stock Tmobile keyboard on it, sorry.
[HTC Amaze 4G] devilnick:
Ok so the first question is answered, I can't just flash the quick sence rom and hope to have the same keyboard.

Now how could I back up my keyboard app with the language library?

Will a normal full back up from titanium backup work? can I just restaure all my backup after I flashed Quicksence or sence 3.5? :D

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffesaurusrex:
Hello guys.

This phone seems a little different from the HTC phones I am used to (Nexus One, Desire HD/Inspire). I have rooted the phone using the zergrush method, very easy. Now I know that I'll need to unlock the bootloader using fastboot. But once that's done, how will I get a custom ROM onto the phone?

On my previous phones I needed to have clockworkmod recovery, and I just put the zip and apply update from sd card. Or more often, used ROM manager to do it for me. How will I get a CWM recovery onto the phone without using ROM manager? Is there a tutorial on these steps?

Thanks for anything and everything.

-Jeff
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
I had the same problems when i came from the Desire HD. So i'll try to explain a little :D

1) Unlike other devices, we have no dedicated recovery partition, so we cannot flash a custom recovery directly to the device. Recovery is held on the boot partition. The same partition as the kernel, so for us to have a custom recovery, we need to flash a custom kernel, with the recovery embedded in the kernel. Both of doomlords kernels and the CM7 kernel comes with embedded recovery's.

2) Kernels are easy to flash from fastboot. But you will need an unlocked bootloader, and obviously as recovery and kernel are on the same partition, you cannot flash a new kernel from recovery, only fastboot.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffesaurusrex:
Thanks for the info.

I've hit a snag however when trying to unlock the bootloader. The phone won't go into fastboot so I can't install my drivers, and whenever I try the getvar command it sticks on "waiting for device. I've read that on the Arc they use a flash tool to get an unbranded firmware on the phone, and then it will work afterwards but the firmwares I found for this are on the Arc, not the Play.

A page or so into the dev forum there's a thread specifically for unlocking the play. There are people in there having the same problem as me - I only get the green light, no blue light. I'm guessing my phone since I bought it from AT&T is locked somehow so I can't use this method.

Is there any way to do it otherwise? I don't think I can manage using that SEtool, it looks too hard. I'm willing to pay to have it done remotely like some people offer though. Is this what I'll have to do?

[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Hi Folks, just double-checking if I froze the right thing to prevent the OTA since my app for freezing isn't too descriptive and I can't find the apk in my filesystem. See the picture attached (at the bottom, no idea why resolution appears poor but I think it's readable). If it means anything System Update(s/r?) no longer appears in the master app list under Settings/App Management. Thanks.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Why would you do that
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Because I'm going to have to Odin for the update when the full package is available. And being nagged every 15 minutes by an OTA that won't successfully install because of rooted mods I've done is not my idea of fun. :-) So will this stop it?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
I don't even bother freezing it, I uninstall that sum'*****. Lol but that's because Sprint isn't my carrier so being nagged to activate my phone with service is the last thing I need. Plus when there's an update, I just update by Odin.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
So did I target the right bugger?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Systemupdates.apk? Yes.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Unfortunately this didn't help at all. Got the OTA notification this morning and I guess will be annoyed by it until I can actually sit down, prepare, and flash from better sources. Anyone know how to make the nag notification stop? I would just let the install fail if I weren't worried it'll screw things up (read a few reports of that happening).

[Epic 4G General] adamdelozier:
You have to freeze the service. If you use the superfreeze.zip from randomking, that should do the trick. I am on mobile so I can't attach it. His cwm flashable will enable the command superfreeze in terminal emulator to freeze updates and drm.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Get script manger or terminal emulator for the market.

Get to the console, or what I would call a dos prompt

type:

SU <enter>

pm disable com.samsung <enter>

You have now turned it off. Good luck!!
[Epic 4G General] altimuh:
Had that script running way before the update, and I still got the notification!

Yeah that's one of the three included in superfreeze - didn't work for me.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
The app I was using (AntTek app mgr) froze the service, but it didn't matter. As people researched it they found out it was something in the Google framework I think. Maybe after a certain number of refusals it'll stop (wishful thinking?).
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
That is puzzling. With that command in Script terminal if you even try to go into update your PRL or anything it FC's.

I have yet to receive an update notification of any kind, so I will consider myself lucky.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
After bugging me all day every 15 minutes, it hasn't been back for a few hours. (The updater is unfrozen now too.) Hope it stays that way and isn't just because I've been on wifi. BTW the safest way to refuse the prompt is just to hit the back key, that way you don't risk hitting the wrong screen button. The nag even happening during youtube videos was just awful.
[Epic 4G General] rafa3L:
I couldn't handle the nag. Spent some time last night and ODIN back to stock EC05, then update to Gingerbread, install ACS recovery, root, delete install-recovery.sh, re-install ACS recovery, reinstalled apps and some data, all good. First time I've done all that, wasn't bad at all.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Problems & Solutions

The reason you are having so many problems is because you are trying

to use an un-official and un-released version of Gingerbread rom v2.3.5.

(It is NOT the stock rom, if it was you would not be having problems - The STOCK rom is v2.3.4.)

All your problems can be solved easily by simply flashing the very

best full featured custom rom currently available for our phones.

Here it is, GTG's "UnNamed v1.2.0" custom rom which can be downloaded here:

unnamed-v1.2.0-full.zip it is based on the STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.

More information and step by step easy to follow instructions can be

found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299474

P.S. The UnNamed custom rom is pre-rooted. So after flashing there is no need to root.

Be sure to follow all the step by step instructions to a "TEE" for best results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Fahimxda:
Hi MisterJunky,

Thanks for your suggestion i fixed the gallery problem by deactivating the motion option. I have a few questions how stable is this unnamed rom and how can i backup my current rom. If i install this unnamed rom have i have to install all my applications. Awaiting for your reply. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Error free rom

The UnNamed is the most stable & error free rom you will find here on XDA.

You can use Titanium backup to backup & restore your apps. (only restore missing apps with data)

Your existing rom can be backed up using CWM Recovery after you flash the proper CWM compatible kernel.

First you need to flash the kernel unless you already have the CWM Recovery.

The CWM Recovery kernel needs to be flashed with Odin, it's not a zip file but instead it's TAR.

You can download the CWM Recovery TAR file here:

http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT

Then you need to download Odin, it can be found here: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT

Then download the unnamed-v1.2.0-full.zip rom and copy it to your sdcard.

After these things are done you need to flash the CWM Recovery kernel TAR file using Odin.

After its done flashing the phone will reboot to the modified CWM recovery menu which will

have the options to "Backup/Restore", "wipe data/factory reset", & "install zip from sdcard"

plus many other options. The backup/restore option is for backing up or restoring your current rom.

First select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then when that gets done select "Install zip from sdcard"

then select the unnamed rom zipfile which you copied to your phone from your computer.

Once it's selected it will start flashing the new UnNamed rom.

When it gets done flashing select "Reboot system" from the menu.

Then you can restore missing apps using only the missing apps option in Titanium Backup.

I would suggest to simply install the missing apps one at a time. (never restore system data)

Remember that any apps you have downloaded from the market will be automatically downloaded

and installed after flashing a rom if you selected "Wipe data/factory reset" before flashing your rom.

Instructions for Odin

Power your phone off

Boot into Download-Mode by pressing & holding the VolUp+VolDown buttons

Hit Volume Up to accept the warning (if you see any)

Start Odin

Choose "SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar" as PDA

Connect your usb cable from phone to computer

Be sure that COM:XX in Odin lights up yellow then start flashing.

Menu usage

Pressing Vol+, Vol- & Power button at the same time brings your Phone into CWM Recovery Mode. (The UnNamed rom has built-in shutdown options too.)

OR you can simply download the free app called "Reboot Recovery" from the market. You can use this app to reboot into recovery with one click.

VolUp + VolDn = highlight & scroll Up/Dn

Power = Toggles menus off/on

Home = Selects

Back = Go back

Good Luck!
