[HTC Titan] prjkthack:
At the moment, there is no hack for Windows Phone 7. You are not officially able to tether with any phone on AT&T without a tethering plan. So this is nothing new.
[HTC Titan] matt101:
I just upgraded from a Samsung Focus to the HTC Titan.

They are both WP7 platform on the ATT network. My Samsung allowed me to share my iNet connection from the settings menu without needing to call ATT or change my $30 unlimited data plan.

I just called to "activate" the feature on my Titan and was told it cannot be done without upgrading my data plan to include tethering.

I wonder if this is specific to each phone developer based on their contract with ATT.

If so, the "Focus S" may operate the same as the Focus and is their counterpart to the Titan.

I like the Titan, but the original Focus had the following Mango Updates:

- "high Fidelity position": improvements to GPS data for better accuracy

- "call blocking": blocking specific callers in ROM not by adding software

- "internet sharing": no ATT activation required

I would love to know if the Focus S does or does not require an ATT activation phone call.

Thanks

HI, I'm new to Galaxy S II and new to android smartphones.

I'm playing with different roms these days and saw a lot of posts discussing those modems.

What are those flashable modems and what are those for?

I searched around and couldn't find the answer.

Thanks guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The modem is the firmware component that handles calls, data, wifi connectivity, and a few other things. Whenever a new release or newly leaked firmware becomes available, it contains a modem that may or may not be different or modified in some way. (Different code base, bug fixes, new features, etc.) When a phone has been around for a while and has had many firmware releases, there could be multiple modems available. It has been found that some modems work better in certain geographic areas, and other modems work better in other areas. It's actually kind of a subjective thing. People switch modems and test to see which one suits them best.

There are only a few modems available for the SGH-I777, the original stock modem from UCKH7, and the ones from the unofficial leaks UCKJ1, UCKJ2 and UCKJ4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seanpr123:
Is one widely considered best all around or is it too subjective to differentiate?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
basically to keep it short and simple, a modem allows you to connect to the network for data and voice.

every modem will react differently to each area. What I consider to be a top-notch modem might not be good for you in your area. Although, the better the modem, the more compatible they are in diff areas. You can read up and ask other people for their modem of choice but ultimately (like ROM's), you'll have to test it for yourself. Keep in mind when testing modems, its not just the level of service you have with that modem ... you also need to test the battery usage. Some modems kill more battery at idle than other modems.

Thank u but thats old news check out the development section. Ciq was discovered since the sprint samsung epic
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] repsaj3k:
Where is it?

i'm looking in running services menu (as was suggested on another post) and the applications menu and i've even installed Any Cut as was suggested in an article i read on the subject but i don't see it on my ATT SR, did i miss someplace to look?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waiters:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
Yeah, thats because it just comes right back shortly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nuclearrage:
I was able to stop it. An hour later it has yet to start running. All stock here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I'm totally stock as well, and it came back pretty quickly. It may get re-activated if you use an app or such, but it definitely came back for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nuclearrage:
Oh well... after about 2 hours it came back... and now pops back on in seconds when I stop it

I guess no way to stop this with out root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Global Swag:
FACT: You can not disable it being on stock. To remove it you would need to root and flash a custom rom with it removed. Just letting you all know. Check out the skyrocketeer rom in dev section, its awesome

Also, for the people that are scared to root because of voiding warranty, there are two easy solutions.

1. Just unroot it, flash a stock rom or something.

2. Brick your phone by some means and if your rooted but it doesnt power on, they can not tell you rooted it. Just tell them you woke up and it was like that or something..

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
aint it the same? i i flash a few tweaks so far so good! plus they let you line up all the different files you want to flash so that you do not need to keep selecting the next item after you have flash one!
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] G00fY2:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Using this(run on your computer). The phone must be connected over USB. The program works over ADB connection. :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] wwenigma:
Why? .......
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
lol to me its better cus you can line the items you want to flash up and they will flash them accordingly no need to select them 1 by 1 and there is even a option to backup before flash wipe data before flash and wipe cache before flash and finally reboot when done...

e.g

1.backup

2.wipe data

3.wipe cache

4.rom

5.script

6.font

7.reboot
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] tejasjadhav:

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] androidboss7:
I agree. This recovery is much better than amon-ra and CWM. all it needs is partitioning SD card.

WoW, this recovery is a lot better than CWM :D The backup was waay faster, and I like the whole thing better :)
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] nutterbg:
Agreed. Also, something I liked very much is the possibility to display battery status and percentage. I wonder if we could use that as an alternative for charging the phone while off, since custom roms don't normally support that. I'm guessing all it's missing is percentage auto-update, and screen turn off option. This could be like a separate menu. Someone should write to Raidzero. :D
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] lukemovement1:
so is backup and restore working now?

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] apple85:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone had had any joy using a ds stylus (one of the xl pen ones) on the transformer?

(I just ask because it seems to be a bit hit and miss due to the ds stylus designed for resistive screens and a lot of tablets having Capacitive screens and also because the ds stylus may stratch? (will be using a screen protector though))

The capacitive stylus look, well a bit too clunky to work with on handwriting and a point looks more comfortable and easy to use.

Any other suggestions would be great

many thanks

Won't work. Not capacitive.

[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
Rafael Rivera has just twitted back that Windows Phones do not have Carrier IQ.

UPDATE: Joe Belfiore has twitted that Windows Phone doesn't have Carrier IQ.

I am glad that Microsoft didn't permit this little "extra" on Windows Phone.

If you don't know Carrier IQ is, you'll be able to find it on the front page of The Huffington Post and other new sites. In short terms, it records anything (and everything) you do on your phone and sent it back to the mothership, Carrier IQ, Inc.

**** crazy!!!!!

Blackberry, Nokia, Android, who else !!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrewkeith5:
That basically covers everything, I'm going to make the fairly safe guess that iOS does this in some form or other...
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
IOS had their own scandal a few months ago about tracking users location data and transmitting it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
Both iOS and Windows Phone have had their moments, but they no where as extensive as this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
You guess wrong.

That "scandal" was proven completely baseless. The GPS data that was stored was never transmitted anywhere, and was the result of a iOS bug (which has been fixed).

Was it also a "scandal" that a bug in NoDo (which I understand has been fixed in Mango) caused WP7 devices to continue to store and transmit users' location data, even when they had specifically opted out of that feature?
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Thank god that such a thing isn't allowed in Europe. Therefore it isn't installed on any European device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
I smell an angry IOS fanboy lol...

Proof that was proven to be FALSE there fanboy?

---------- Post added at 01:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

if anything what you said was completely false...

They were logging it, apparently only to point out hot spots and such, though how is that known?

http://9to5mac.com/2011/04/27/apple-sets-the-record-straight-on-location-tracking-promises-fix/
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Sorry fanboy, but I'm not the fanboy here. I just have zero tolerance for hyperbole (and illiteracy, since you apparently are not able to read the link you posted, which confirms exactly what I posted earlier). And FYI, I don't even own an iPhone.

And I notice that you also conveniently ignored the fact that Microsoft was transmitting user location data from WP7 devices, and was sued for it in September.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xHausx:
On the Evo 3D, where much of this began, the European/GSM version of the phone actually has the ability to log more than the CDMA one. But, it's also important to note that just because it logs, or has the ability to log, something most of that information is never sent anywhere.

The problem is there's absolutely no way to stop it from running without modifying the ROM, so it always sits in the back ground showing down the phone and wasting space. Not to mention the risk of information links.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
This is the Windows Phone section, nobody should be surprised that there might be a bit of a bias in some people. Some things are worth calling out, this is so minor that it could have been left alone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
You're probably right. I should know what to expect from him, but I let it get the better of me.

In any case (trying to get back on topic), it is a good thing that at least two of the major phone OS companies (Microsoft and Apple) have enough respect for their customers' privacy to not allow CIQ on their phones. The only thing that concerns me is that Nokia has apparently been favorable to it on their other phones. I just hope this doesn't end up affecting WP7/WP8 down the road.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
I like how you ignored the quote I posted lol..

For the record, carrier IQ was also found on IOS ;)
