[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
I just gotta ask....what in the world racks up 44GB in a billing cycle?

Tell me you don't stream movie after movie on a 4.3 in screen...

Before I had a fast Internet connection at work, I'd download a lot of ROMs over LTE...at 90 to 300+MB a pop, I'd be around 6GB a month or so with some other net and streaming of music, etc.

But 44GB...wow....
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
you'd be surprised when you do a lot of 256kbps mp3 streams, HBO Go & tethering to laptop for online gaming + steam game updates/purchases
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
That's the reason for tiered data pricing...sorry.

Abuse.

Agree with me or not...but that's the facts.
[Thunderbolt General] orcsbane13:
Not abuse if you pay for the tethering.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
you can proclaim 'abuse' all you want, but it's nothing that would hold up in court as it's just your personal view and not specified in legal form.

if something says 'unlimited' it basically means what it says. anyone can take that into their own meaning obviously, as you have... and I'm sure you can bring up a good arguement as to why you feel that way. technically it would be irrelevent, unfortunately.

although, since you do feel that way, what if say you have high speed internet at home... which again, is specified as unlimited. would you think it 'abuse' if you used 50GB in a month? or say you're watching HDTV and you have the TV on a lot... it's using bandwidth also... so is that ok?
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
Technically...you are absolutely correct.

I also scored my phone/data plan when they offered unlimited data.

To answer your question, In my area I have Comcast, Wide Open West, ATT Uverse (Which I have), and other dish providers.

NONE of them have tiered data or GB Throughput limits.

All the main mobile carriers (except Sprint) have tiered data...as a direct result of people, again...in my opinion, of pigging out at the buffet line.

There is nothing illegal about it...I agree 100%.

Just goes against my morals and ethics...and as such, abuse IMO.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
Whoa, hold on buddy! Nobody said there gonna take you to court so hold off on the lawyer. He just said that is the reason Verizon is making the move to tiered data, which is true.
[Thunderbolt General] Forgetfull:
It is a breach of contact if you're tethering and not on a tethering plan. Simple as that.

But if you do pay the monthly fee for tethering...
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
that's ok. when he gets throttled or kicked off of verizon (like sprint did when people abused customer service), then he'll be back on here crying about dial up throttled speeds.

I mostly agree with the restrictions of it being fair use and making sure everyone gets some bandwidth.

As far as land internet suppliers limiting data, comcast is doing just that from what I've heard and at&t has also started putting limits on it. So far I have not heard of TWC doing it yet, but I would guess it's coming.
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
Quite possible I'm sure. I don't steam/download that much so it wouldn't be a concern to me anywho...

Good point forgetful, if you're not paying for the WiFi tethering option (which, I have to be honest, I don't know if they offered that unlimited as well) your contract is void...
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I don't tether because I already have a TWC 3g/4g hotspot that I'm stuck with (contract). Not sure what the restrictions are for tethering. I can understand the occasional tether in a pinch, but 44gb to play online gaming is abuse.

I think comcast has a 250gb per month usage cap I've read about. Not sure how much data I use at home, but I also pay for 50 down speeds so hopefully I would get a higher limit than someone on the basic broadband.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
As I know, only Optus exclusive has this, but in the videos around, by verizon/US etc, the normal droid razrs have the boot animation, and a really nice box.

When I got mine from Optus, it was different, box was reddish, and no boot animation.. is this because mines not a full releasse model?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madmikeuk:
The DROID brand is exclusive to Verizon. So RAZRs everywhere else don't have the DROID bootvid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] neilkarunatilaka:
Hey I have a buddy on AT&T with the GSII Skyrocket.

His phone does not have the Samsung Car Dock / Voice Command apps that our phones have (when plugged into my car dock, nothing happens on his). So I was just curious if we could pull them off our phones so he could install them? Or would he have to wait for a custom ROM to have these features built in?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Not sure if you can pull the one off of your phone but there are a ton of different car dock applications. Search the market for "car home" or "car dock" you should find a lot of them.

My MT4G took a dump, keeps dropping data on every Radio/Rom i use.

Wi-Fi is really weak on this phone you got to admit.

Called Tmobile told them i was fed up, since i've had about 5 replacements other replacements where because of the SH screen (washed out). and told them if they can send me a replacement but to make sure they didnt send one with a washed out screen. and They said they will send me a Brand New MT4G Slide.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevie H:
Firstly, Hi, Just got this forum recomended by a friend and it looks great, glad I joined.

secondly, all answer's need to be in plain English cos I am completely new to any for of electronic engineering etc etc.

So, On to my Q.

I brought a Wildfire back in June for £100 as it had been superceded by a new model, it was sold through O2 and was locked. I had it unlocked by a friendly shop for £20.

I returned to Egypt (I teach Scuba in Sharm el Sheikh) and started using the phone, really good, I like it.

Then my network starts selling internet packages (basically for less than £3 a month I can access the net whenever I like as long as I dont kick the arse out of it).

So I registered and paid my cash.........

When I click on the Connect to the Internet button it goes to "Turning On" but does nothing else.

I have asked my mobile network and they say it is a software problem caused by the illegal unlocking.....

HELP!!!

Regards

Stevie H
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
Hi and welcome. I will try and help the best I can but my knowledge is limited and others may help better if I can't.

I very much doubt this is a software issue but more of an vpn or data settings issue. Now my friend once had pay as you go and couldn't connect to internet due to his vpn or data connection values/settings not being set for his network. It was a long time ago so can't remember exactly what we did but it involved googling his network providers vpn settings and manually putting values into his phone settings. I hope and think this issue is easily solvable for you.

It's not software problem....u just enter settings manually goto settings-->wireless and connection-->mobile network-->access point and see it is ticked at ur service provider not,if not then tick that...hope so it will work...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevie H:
Thanks for the reply, but the settings are all as they should be, I had the guy at Mobinil check em for me and also googled them to check myself and all is good on that front.

I emailed HTC about my problem, complete with model and serial numbers etc - it was them that said the "illegal" unlocking had caused the problem :(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gautamason:
What exactly do you mean by "click on the Connect to the Internet button"?

It may be that my language on my phone is set to Swedish and it's different from your's, but I don't understand what you mean by that. Are you talking about the checkbox for Settings - Wireless & network - Mobile network?

My experience is that you have a problem with the settings for Mobile networks (roaming, networks, APNs) just like slymobi and Ankurcul already told you. But if you've made sure they are correct it seems strange...
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankurcul:
It is really strange bt I don't think so its illegal unlocking problem...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
Good afternoon:

Recently my sister in law gave me his Desire so I could take a look at it.

She says the phone started to freeze a lot and random reboots. Then the phone won't switch on at all, when it did it showed a white screen (I suspect she talks about the bootloader one). Next the phone never booted again, showing the htc screen with four exclamation triangles in the corners.

She is not an experienced user at all, the phone is a Vodafone one, unlocked.

It had the latest Vodafone stock rom installed. The phone doesn't have root, S-OFF or a gold card.

I tried to flash it with the latest Vodafone UK ruu and the gingerbread one from Shipped Roms and it fails with an error 152.

If I flash those roms with fastboot I get a FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).

Both methods give me a RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU.

We can't send the phone to HTC because the company doesn't even exist in Argentina. Also the phone its from Spain, so we have no warranty at all.

Is there any hope?. I've tried searching the web but I had no luck.

Thanks in advance.

Whipon.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

You could try flashing a RUU from fastboot....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
Flashing from fastboot gives me a remote error: FAILED (remote: 51 partition update fail).

As I said we have no HTC repair service in Argentina.

All I can do is triying to fix it through the computer or throw it away u_u.

Can't I erase the radio and reflash it?. Do I need S-OFF to do that?.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ty5982:
can u flash a recovery
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stumpyz9:
yah s-off would be required, but thats kind of impossible, and if your gunna throw it away you could always send it to me lol, i love to take **** apart
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I know you have no HTC. But that is only option.

Throw it in the bin or sell for spares maybe then. You can't fix broken device without s-off, you can't s-off without working device.

Even if s-off, fix is very unlikely. HTC swap out the mother board when this happens, so nothing you can do
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whipon:
lol

You will laugh a lot when you know how I fixed it.

I had another Desire with its digitizer cracked. It was from a friend who dropped it.

I just swapped the motherboards.

It was a lot of fun.

Well you can't prevent it if she didn't.do anything to cause it. It was probably destined to go faulty from the start

I have a galaxy s 2 and i was wondering which camera app is the best???
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] materoprodutions:
hI,

first of all I don't want to pollute this tread with stupid questions since there are stickies about this phone. I've read them but I still have some questions.

I personally own an HD2 and I'm totally new to a native android device with new rules and new methods of flashing different roms and rooting. So thank you for your patience. My friend wants to unlock her phone and put a custom rom on it.

The phone right now is a brand new T-mobile mytouch 4g with android version 2.3.5.

the most important thing will be the sim unlock.

Now, I'm not asking what the best rom is because it's a silly question, personally I don't link much sense roms for the HD2, so I was thinking something based on CM7, but will see about that.

So I found many guides about rooting and perm S off but my question is, what does it mean? I'm new to this terms, and I really don't know what they mean, eventhough the guide seems pretty simple I want to be sure of not messing the phone up because it's not mine.

My goal is: having root and superuser permission and sim unlock, also to be able to flash to another rom

Thank you very much.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
They mytouch comes with a locked bootloader. Basically the bootloader in encrypted with a security measure that doesn't allow changes to the software of the phone. Aka s-on

If you want to flash a new rom you have get passed the encryption which gives you s-off. Follow the downgrade guide to get the phone back to android 2.2.1

Once you do that follow the g-free rooting method to achive full root and similar unlock.

Before you do all of this you are going to want to make sure you have what we call a good eMMc chip (this is where the rom is stored on the phone). Some phones come with a bad chip and will die shortly after rooting cause the phone to be essential soft bricked with no fix available.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I, personally, have the "bad" chip rooted months ago on my wife's Desire S.

The "bad publicity" done for "bad chip" is VERY exaggerated.

There are failure cases. The vast majority are just fine. The ones that fail - have a good chance to fail without rooting, just by normal use.

So I'd root like no tomorrow, and in the worst case - would prepare to get a replacement if it fails. Depends on how many months of warranty you have left. If more that 2-3 months - that's more than enough time for the case of truly bad chip to go bad.

Now you can search the reports for the last 1/2 year or so, and decide yourself.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
if you are willing, then by all means root. it's better than being with stock anyway. just keep in mind that the phone DOES have a possibility of bricking, and be prepared for a possible warranty replacement.
