[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] str1der_D:
correct me if im wrong but cant they not throttle speeds based on pure bandwidth use alone? i read this article about them locking bootloaders:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...-does-not-violate-fcc-block-c-spectrum-rules/

and a particular section says this,

"(c)(1)... The potential for excessive bandwidth demand alone shall not constitute grounds for denying, limiting or restricting access to the network. 47 CFR §27.16"

so im guessing by per FCC agreement, verizon is not allowed to throttle us regardless of whether or not we have unlimited data plans or not. but i guess a loophole might be that if youre tethering, they might be...

im not posting this to really bash you, im just saying because i have the unlimited plan and have gone way over 2gigs of data usage without any signs of throttling. But then again, i never found the need to tether anything.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbdysreal:
Its my understanding that somehow those lines you quoted from the FCC don't pertain to us (not sure how as they sound like they would). If VZW is throttling you, its on their end, meaning you can't just click a setting and change that. They said they throttle the top 5% users through the next billing cycle, so if its you, it should speed up in a few weeks. I still haven't heard of them actually throttling yet though, so might just be a slow network, or a problem in their network in your area. Good luck.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
How are you measuring your speeds ?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpyazel:
From what I've seen of verizon's 4g network, it's very unpredictable. Granted they just activated towers here to cover my whole city just a few weeks ago, but i see data speeds ranging from as low as 1.5mb up to 20mb with absolutely no consistancy. Seems completely random how my speeds end up.

i dont know but i have used 138gb this month and haven't seen any slow down!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasan10:
Hey everyone

Just a simple question; Is the following setup safe for my galaxy s i9000? What I mean is, will the phone face bootloops and other problems soon?? I am currently using it and the performance is....well lets just say unrealistic. Phone boots up and is ready go in less than 15 seconds. The reason why I am paranoid is because im coming from the stock 2.2 Froyo and the performance gain really is unbelievable.

Setup is:

- Stock XXJVT odex

- Dark Core kernel 4.1 for JVT (It has some lagfix activated or something)

- Adernaline Shot v13

- Current governor (through setCPU): Ondemand -> As recommended by Adernaline Shot thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero00zero:
I wouldn't worry to much. The performance gain from Froyo Stock to JVT is really impressive!

I had a pretty similar setup for some time at it was running very well. Some random reboots may occur as with all firmwares (Stock and cutom) I have tried before.

Also, I overclocked it to 1,3Ghz with no loss of stability.

Have fun.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabessius:
Nice and clean setup. You should not face any problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasan10:
Hello!

Just reporting back on this setup....

The performance really is amazing. Phone runs very fast, apps load and close instantly, no heating issues, browsing is incredible, and not to mention this voodoo sound thing that turned the speakers into boom boxes, and massively improved in-call sound and volume. I haven't had any random bootups yet.

However, the only grudge I have is, and hopefully u guys can help me out, that the GPS signal quality is very lame with Google Maps. Also, Google Maps is VERY laggy, sometimes impossible to use because I can't even scroll around or zoom-in/out because it goes down to like 3 fps. It is just shocking that heavy 3D games can be played for an hour without any stuttering or slowing down, yet Google's own application Google Maps barely runs.

I would really appreciate it if you guys can help me out :D

GPS problems?. Welcome to SGS world.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hasan10:
Lol ya after doing some searching I found that this is a pretty common problem. However, its not the GPS locking that is bothering me; The Google Maps app itself is VERY laggy, im currently on version 6.0.0 and it is unusable for me. Scrolling around and zooming in/out is like 2 frames per second. Do you know why that would be?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I am looking to get a tablet for my niece. I want to try to keep it below $400. It needs to be a 7" tablet and it will be a wifi only tablet. It will be used primarily for skype, internet(browsing, gmail, maps), and media playing(netflix, mp4, youtube video). It needs to have either an sd or microsd card slot. I would like to ge her one that has been rooted and has some custom rom's for it. Preferably based on HC but at least GB. Currently looking at the original galaxy tab(old but a lot of customization available and a decent performer) and the dell streak 7(also old but a lot of customization for it). I am open to other 7" tablet suggestions as well. I just don't know enough about what it is out there. What would be the best way to go? I am alos currently researching the galaxy tab 7 plus.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mingolianbeef:
Ummm, I would say a Nextbook Premium7 (http://www.nextbookusa.com/productdetail.php?product_id=7), but I think the deal breaker is no Skype, and its a relatively new device, so development is slow, but will pick up when we get a working root method.!

[HTC Titan] jayben:
Would it be possible simply to hook a usb stick up to the Titan via micro usb? I mean yeah it could potentially get in the way, but the way I see it is just buying an extended battery that hopefully has a rather large cover or even a plain jane case and cutting a chunk out for the usb to lay in. Simply plug it in when you're in need for your rather mediocre tunes and videos and BAM all the storage you want. Is something like this possible? Would the phone be able to sense that there is extra storage?
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
That would need the heck out of work to hack the ROM to get the driver in.

There is no way (nearly impossible) to do this with Official ROM, because this haven't done ever before.
[HTC Titan] jayben:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lynk128:
Hi all,

I am using cm 7.2 the latest kang build out for our phone. I am among the minority who uses the LCD density changer application because I find the normal 240 setting to be big and bulky. I noticed that the dialer and the recent apps screens don't adjust very well.. the numbers get tiny and the recent apps and black background are tiny as well. However, recently the dialer issue was fixed in one of the nightlies and now it resides properly. I am wondering if it would be easy to make the same adjustment for the recent apps drawer?

I would like to stress that this is very much a want and NOT a need.

If it never gets implemented, there's no issue, cm is still a kick-ass rom

Also if there is something that I can do on my end to fix it myself, please let me know.

hope this is in the right place, was gonna put it in the development section but I'm not a dev so here it is :)
[Intercept General] Boltons75:
Just got my daughter this phone for Christmas, through the prepaid provider platinumtel. I know that they piggyback off of Sprint towers, but does anyone know if this is safe to root and flash a custom Rom onto. All of my rooting and flashing has only been done with OG Evos, but I would like to give my daughter's phone the freedom my Evos have. Would flashing a custom Rom mess with the prepaid settings in any way?
[Intercept General] Boltons75:
Well I powered it up today for the first time, and its loaded with all the normal Sprint bloatware. I would like to root it if for nothing else, to get rid of sprints bs bloatware.

[Intercept General] jluyt:
Where did you buy the EVO from? I am also looking for a better phone on Ptel and as you know it has to be plbl in order to get it to wwork and I have been having a hard time finding high-end plbl phones that I can get over to ptel.

[Intercept General] Joeseph Mother:
Flashing a kernel to get root wouldn't affect the prepaid settings, flashing a rom might affect voicemail and mms.
[Intercept General] penguinrepair:
intercept root will get temporary root, and you can then flash cm01 recovery with it, then in recovery, make a system/data backup to the sdcard, delete the bloatware in the filemanager, you can always root it later if you want with the same app

Just did it today with the apk intercept root, easy, install the app, and press the root button. It was rooted in less than 3 minutes from the time I installed the app. Now I'm just looking for a suitable Rom for it, it doesn't have the selection that I have for my evo.

J
[Intercept General] Boltons75:
I hope it works as smooth for you as it did for me. Compared to rooting mine and my wife's evos this was a piece of cake. I wasn't really expecting it to work, but it did. I installed titanium and did a backup of the apps, then installed an uninstaller to get rid of the Sprint bloat ware that came on the phone. So far it all works great. I just wish that some of the evo devs made a rom for the intercept, mik in particular. Good luck, and root on......

Sent from my now rooted, Revolutionary, OG Evo. :)
[Intercept General] jluyt:
I will try that tonight.

I also wanted to ask you what Sprint comonents did you remove? I dont have the phone with me now, but as I remember there was:

- Sprint TV

- Sprint <something> Zone

- Sprint Updater

I am wondering about the Updater. Did you remove this one too? I wans sondering if the phone will act-up if you remove the updater.

J
[Intercept General] Boltons75:
First I backed up everything I removed, then went on to Sprint football, nascar, and Tv and nav. As long as you do a backup on recovery, you can always fix it if it does kill something.

Well, it is all done!!! It worked and 2 weeks of struggling with this cable thing is no more. I uninstalled all the Sprint bloatware, loaded the overclocking widget and man.... performance is dramatically better. thx for all the help.

One more question. I see you have a rooted EVO. Is it on Ptel?

J
[Intercept General] jluyt:
I have to add, after rooting the Intercept and removing Sprint bloatware -- HUGE performance increase. I uninstalled most of the Sprint Bloatware except the Sprint Updater, since I am not sure how it will behave.

Also added the Overclocking Widget and I have to say, very impressed with the performance now for this little Android device.

Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying the Samsung Intercept on Platinumtel. However I am totally new at this whole rooting thing. Do you guys have like a step by step process for rooting the phone and making up the proper backups so I dont break it. Also, I was wondering where you got the overclocking widget and how it affects the battery life.

Thanks!

[Intercept General] jluyt:
Her eis the deal. Look at this link, it has everything you need.

Now, the intercept as a phone, it is "ok". I bought one for my wife and for her it is fine. If you want high-end, this is not it, but at least you get 800 Mhz on your phone.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

One last thing... getting any driver to work on your PC (win7, Xp, etc) is an act of God.... so that is why the apk was the only way i could root it, but it is a stuborn little phone when it gets to USB connectivity.

Okay I got to the link now and it seems pretty self explanitory. My only last question is if we can get a froyo (2.2) update on this phone. It looks like theres been an update though Virgin Mobile...so it should work. But how can we get it on this phone with PlatinumTel?

So I installed the intercept root and went through everything and it says that it is rooted. However when I go to manage application and try to uninstall the sprint ones there is no option to unistall. I though that if I had root that this option would have appeared. Can someone help me out here?
[Intercept General] bigwilly1976:
P-tel Intercept Is Safe To Root..

Small world I must say funny I am making a solution for P-tel As I speak.

I would tell you to treat you're android device as a sprint device as p-tel is a mnvo

of them.

InterceptRoot.Apk v3.5 Is a great and safe method to achieve temp or perm root

with custom recovery how cool is that 90% of the units ship with 2.2.1.

As for bloatware search for NewROM2.1 This ROM strips 90% of the sprint carrier

apps making for a faster and more stable phone.

Be on the lookout for a P-tel Rom Release here in the near future

I will update in this thread.

Good Day..
[Intercept General] elijoal:
Whew.

I'm excited to hear this. I just got the Platinumtel Intercept yesterday and wish I could get rid of the bloatware as well as some of the limitations Sprint/Ptel put on the phone. I'm completely new to the rooting process (I did it on a Sandisk mp3 player to install Rockbox a few years ago, but that's it). I tried to follow the instructions linked to earlier in the post, but the Android exploit has been fixed and I don't understand the directions for the work-around.

Thanks for the work you are doing. I'm excited to see what you come up with.

On a side note, have any of you gotten Google Voice to place/receive calls on your Ptel Intercept? All I can get mine to do is voicemail through GVoice (which is nice, but voicemail isn't a huge priority for me). I don't have service inside my house and it would be great to have a fully functional phone operating through my wifi network.

Thanks.
[Intercept General] ct456568:
Any luck rooting your Ptel Intercept? I saw as well that the one-click apk doesn't work anymore, and I'm a bit nervous to try the batch file workaround. Did you ever try that?

As for making calls over Wifi, I've been using Groove IP for just that purpose. Call quality isn't great but it works.
[Intercept General] NextGenROM:
The samsung intercept is a really hard phone to root succssfully! I have a thread up on how to do so ( http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...t-froyo-2-2-2-easy-way-updated-6-24-12-a.html ) You can flash some ROMs but you don't get much better than stock 2.2.2! And there is no GINGERBREAD base for the intercept because it can barely handle the froyo more the less gingerbread!

[Captivate Android Development] Taderich:
This is a CWM zip which intended purpose is to make creating heimdall one click roms easier.

It will backup partitions using dd and put them in a folder on your internal SD card labeled partition-backup. You can then use these to create heimdall one-click versions of your own rom.

The partitions backed up are as follows:

Captivate Stock based roms:

/system (/dev/block/stl9)

/dbdata (/dev/block/stl10)

/cache (/dev/block/stl11)

kernel (/dev/block/bml7)

modem (/dev/block/bml12)

param.lfs (/dev/block/stl6)

Captivate MIUI/Cyanogenmod based roms:

/system (/dev/block/mtdblock2)

/datadata (/dev/block/mtdblock6)

/cache (/dev/block/mtdblock3)

/radio (/dev/block/mtdblock5)

kernel (/dev/block/mtdblock0)

recovery (/dev/block/mtdblock1)

modem (/dev/block/mtdblock5)

The data partition is not included.

This is not intended to be a backup for your Captivate, although it could be used as one. Again, it's intended for Heimdall rom creation.

For backups, it is preferable to use CWM. I personally, really like the 5.0.2.6 version by mtcarey as it tars up the data rather than dd's the entire partition which saves a lot of space (like the /data partition for example).

DISCLAIMER: I am in no way to be held responsible for what you do to your device. If you use it, whatever the consequences, they are your responsibility.

Now with that being said, this script doesn't do anything destructive but simply copies the partitions to the internal SD card for later use.

Here are the links:

Captivate Stock based - http://db.tt/tPGn42Pi

MIUI/CyanogenMod based - http://db.tt/rwy5WIel

Let me know if you have any issues with the scripts.

backing up of both EFS and Data, would be nice for PERSONAL backups, make a note not to redistribute efs or data in the heimdall one click packages.

any of your passwords/saved information will be in data..... unless you backup data immediately after flashing/pushing apps BUT before android OS setup...

efs is still a DO NOT DISTRIBUTE.
