Yeah, your compression engine, whether its 7zip or Winrar automatically compresses what you add to an existing archive even if you are replacing it. The best thing to do is partly what you did.

1. Extract the files to a location and edit them

2. Then create a new archive with those files, select "zip" and set compression to "Store."

This is the best way to keep the files from getting accidentally compressed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
That is awesome man, you are by definition the man lol. Now I read on one of these forums tha to change the sound to make it louder you would need to use an editor like audacity. Is that something that is changed from within the mp3 itself?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Admiralj21:
Hahaha, Thanks man, I try to do whatever I can to help...Yes that is correct. I actually use audacity to edit a file to make it louder if need be. Just open the mp3 with audacity and go to the Effects tab. There will be an option in the drop down menu to Amplify. Make sure the mp3 file is highlighted in audacity when you hit amplify or it will throw an error.

Other than that, when you are done, replace the original with this one and there you go! Your animation will play the sound louder on boot. It will only play as loud as you can get it in audacity, since you can use the volume rocker during boot of course. :)

[Captivate General] daveron:
Hi, first post.

Getting ready to upgrade from my current Galaxy S Captivate. Not sure that I want to wait for the Nexus Prime so I've been testing out the GS2. One difference I've noticed is how pinch to zoom and formatting is handled. I really like the way the Captivate handles it -- you pinch to zoom then not until you tap the screen does the text reformat USING the current text size you zoomed to. In the case of the GS2 -- pinch to zoom works the same way but when you tap the screen it makes the text smaller as it tries to fit more of the text to one screen.

Is this because of OS differences or am I missing a setting some where.

[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
Well I finally got called out on my data usage in tethering and was threatened to get put on the $45 a month plan on top of what I have already. As soon as I get into the top 5% of the top data users I get throttled back... There was an app that I had a long time back that used to give me options to turn on Wi-Fi when I plug the phone in or turn it on and off at certain times as well as mobile data.. any ideas of what the app is called or a similar app? (not power manager by x-phone software either because all it does is crash)
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
Tasker will do that for you. I use it, for example, to turn on my WiFi when I get home and turn off the cell data. When I leave, it automatically turns off the WiFi and turns on the 3G/H+ data and GPS. Be warned though that if you have Tasker monitoring a lot of things, it can cause a battery drain.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BL_Nuke_IT:
I used to use Tasker, but like djeaton said, it can be a battery drain. Instead, I use an app called "AT&T Smart Wi-Fi". You can find it on the Android Market. Pretty simple to set up and easy to use. Give that a shot before you try Tasker.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
Thanks guys I'll give em both a try
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadeus0831:
If you don't mind me asking, how much data did you use in order to be top 5% by At&t?

I ask this because I also tether and would like a heads up hehe...
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
over 11.5 gigs lmao.. They caught me tethering on a completely separate thing though... Just be careful with the tethering, they'll send you a lovely text message and warn you before they do anything though
[HTC Inspire 4G] blitzer320:
I got a text saying the same thing today and plan on calling at&t after the holiday to give them a piece of my mind because how can they say I'm in the top 5% when i only use around 2.1GB a month. They just really want everyone to be on the limited data plans.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
hmmm that's good to know because I haven't really noticed any throttling yet either.. Maybe it's just a scare tactic.. I don't want to push my luck and attempt to tether again... If they threaten me again with that and I know they're bullshitting, then it's really gonna hit the fan and they will get a piece of my mind
[HTC Inspire 4G] nooomoto:
I've been tethering for years and have never heard anything. I've also been using tons of data streaming several hours of audio daily from spotify in addition to my normal web usage. I wouldn't be terribly upset if they canceled my account....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
It's the tethering that they don't want you to do. It's even in the contract you sign so calling them out is just going to allow them an avenue to show you what you signed. Just don't tether and they will leave you alone. I use over 5-10gb sometimes a month and have never tethered and I don't get throttled or get any nasty letters.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blitzer320:
Actually I have never tethered and I got this message saying I was in the top 5% data users
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
That's strange. I thought you were tethering. Maybe you live in a high congestion area. I live in a small town so maybe they don't care how much I use, because I use a lot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blitzer320:
Yeah I guess that's could be it since i live in manhattan but I also think its about the phone you have. Me and my sister are on a family plan both with unlimited data but she has an iPhone so they don't mess with her at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
Its people like you who abuse data bandwidth as to why carriers crack down on it. Being respectful of others on the network, you should only use tethering when you absolutely have a need to get on the internet to check email, send a message, get info off the web, etc. And your phone should not be the only device you have for an internet connection. And if it is, you shouldn't be downloading or streaming that much data from a phone anyways. So i would like to personally thank you for ruining it for everyone else by being apart of the real problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
According to TechCrunch, "heavy users only make up a small percentage of those consuming bandwidth – 14.3%, to be precise." That means 85% of the problem belongs to the rest of us.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
If it was only that much then ATT wouldn't care. Alot of the issue started with the IPhone and people streaming stuff all day long. Now comes android and every kid gets one and guess what they do? Same as the iPhone users. They take unlimited as just that and because they didn't read the TOS they don't understand reasonable usage. You would be amazed after working for ATT and helping people with their accounts how many really due use a dumb amount of data all the time. I saw this coming a few weeks after the iPhone hit. To be honest I am surprised it took so damn long lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
I'd hate to see what those unlimited data abusers could do to an all-you-can-eat buffet:p

I recall reading somewhere recently that AT&T has started throttling speeds to customers that are in the top 5% of data usage. Problem is, what criteria are they using to determine "top 5%"? Metro area? Nationwide? Neighborhood?

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

Found it!

http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=20535&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=32318
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
The point of the article was that the folks abusing the bandwidth are not the biggest cause of speed degradation. ATT cares because the few that make up the 14% are using more than they are paying for when they tether their phones without the tethering plan. If you pay for using their service on your phone and then want to use it on your laptop, they want you to buy their little USB thingy and another data plan to do it. Should they require more money based on where you view the data? Probably not. But we shouldn't conflate ATTs desire to squeeze folks with it being the primary cause of slow speeds. If they all cut their data usage back to a more reasonable amount, it would only increase the rest of our speeds by a couple of percentage points.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
I've only used tethering one time and that was because their garbage DSL which I'm cancelling soon wasn't working. Other than that, I normally don't use any higher than 6gb except for that one time which was still lower than a bunch of people I personally know. They have yet to receive a letter.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
I don't tether and I just got this text from at&t saying I'm in the top 5 percent
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Tethering is not the only way to get into the top 5. Streaming aolt of the time will do it as well. Like using Google music.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadeus0831:
I just got it too...about top 5%.

its because of data usage not tether and I think its fine to throttle after a certain limit but problem is the limit is not certain and its based by top 5% location. You could be at 3gb in NYC and reach top 5.

Now from what I've been reading online if you get caught tethering you will receive a warning text about not being in a tether data plan and blah blah $45month. Has any one got this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Just spoke with an at&t sales rep she told me that the top 5 percent doesn't really exist if anyone who goes over 5 gigabytes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
Yes for the one time that I used it, I received a warning through a text as well as a letter. My data was running like garbage so I dialed 611 and they said before we start talking about anything else, my account was flagged and they wanted to talk to me about my data usage and tethering. Ever since then I've had nothing but problems with my data, not sure if its their end or mine but they reset something on their end and I flashed another radio on my phone and I got a slight improvement from it but still not like it used to be.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dingokevin:
Well they are throttling me. They said I would get text and email before they would start. No email or text and all I have is edge :-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] vegasteve:
Is it anywhere in our contract that says they can throttle?
[HTC Inspire 4G] djeaton:
I think the new terms of service specifically mention it, but also they have the right to manage their network in a way that offers the best performance for the most people and have the right to change the terms of the offered plans based on that. They are not required to offer you whatever plan you initially sign up for as long as you want to have it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
Maybe not in those words, but is there anywhere in the contract where they guarantee data speeds? I doubt it.

I'm surprised they're even fessing up to throttling. This is AT&T we're talking about. I would think they would do whatever they want and tell no one.:p
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
3.8gb and I just got a message saying I was in the top 5 percent wtf.. I used almost 6 the previous month and didn't receive anything.. they've been throttling me even before I received the message and I called them out on it over the phone, they confirmed and didn't seem to care. I honestly don't think it has anything to do with data usage. Apparently there's a cap on their broadband home internet too. I'll be dropping at&t for both soon
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Im betting its not a total transfer then, most likely a ratio of data:timespan that triggers the software to send out notices and to throttle. it would just be nice if ATT would give us that info, be nice to know that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
I'm calling now and im going to try to find out
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
they will have some made up measurement. "we noticed you were pulling high amounts of megabit-hours so we had to throttle you back because we only has so many megabits and hours lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] TNPaparazzi:
Just talked to them and they basically told me its by region and my region, 4 is the average cap and it varies month to month. They also told me the lowest cap has been around 2gb.. all the app syncing on my phone would probably use more than that in a month. They couldn't really explain more than that. They told me I have shoddy service in my area (her exact words) and they would send someone out to check out my local tower. I've been with this company for over ten years, I think its time for me to move on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
thanks for tryin! i could never hit 2gb, cant hold a signal long enough lol. i think im comin up on 7years of being with them, after this contract im leaving
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
heres a p*ss you off statement from AT&T

how 'unlimited data' doesnt mean its coupled with high speed.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2012/02/13/financial/f000808S96.DTL

"They just guaranteed the highway. They didn't guarantee the speed limit."
[HTC Inspire 4G] Suleeto:
OK so what exactly *is* "tethering? Yes, I searched the web a bit, but it's not clear to me if it means what it used to years ago... which was connecting a physical cable between two devices and sharing the internet connection of one of them to the other.

Right now, I have an HTC Aria, and my roommate has an Inspire. My Aria wouldn't allow me to use the standard Froyo Android wifi router apparently, because the MEdia Net APN would generate a pop-up system message telling me I needed to call 611 to get a tethering plan.

After flashing a rooted ROM and adding the legacy "Cingular" APN, I was able to run the native Android wifi router app and generate a hotspot... and I regularly connect my Gingerbread-based Galaxy Tab to that hotspot (and I've connected my notebook a few times, too). Is that considered "tethering"? I have never received any sort of text warning. I am not even sure how they can detect that the data is being redirected from the phone to the tablet via wifi.... packet sniffing?

I ask this because I have been planning to switch out my too-smallish Aria for an Inspire, flash it, and yet again serve data (this time 4G) over wifi to my tablet.

I should mention that while I am indeed still grandfathered into an "unlimited" data plan, I don't pass 2GB. All I do is usually surf web, chat in IM, Facebook app, or Pandora music streaming at low quality. Believe it or not my data useage is reasonable. But much of my web surfing is via the tablet *through* the phone.

Tethering? Is that what I've been doing?
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Tethering by definition basically means you are 'tethering' when your phone you have the data plan with is no longer the client you are using the data for, but instead acting as a gateway (either by physical or wireless connection) to another device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Suleeto:
So then by that definition, running the wiring router app and connecting my tablet via wiring like I described is indeed tethering. Makes sense. So far no messages.... what's the best way to test the speed on the phone end to see if I'm throttled? Is there a preferred app?

Hi,

I have never had a problem with synching until recently . Now I can see many contacts sitting in my gmail contact list that simply will not move to the phone when i do a synch. It used to be as easy as adding a new contact and then over it would go.

I have tagged all my contacts in SYSTEM GROUP ; MY CONTACTS and also MY CONTACTS in gmail

I have the android set to showing these groups in display options under gmail and then I have also checked everything else under PHONE and SIM too iun an effort to get contacts to appear !! .

No matter what I do I cannot for the life of me do a total / clean synch so that all 300+ contacts show in my phone .

What am I now missing that I never missed before ?

I have tried deleting all the contact data on the phone and when i resynched same thing - i get some of the contacts but not all.

I am rooted and have remove some bloatware but I am pretty sure I have not removed any system apps etc.

Can anyone help ? I have googled extensively but found nothing. thanks
