im not trying to get mad, but i dont understand. how do you regularly use that much. The only extra thing i could do to go over my limit is to download ROMs or other huge files to my device. ive gone for two day straight just constantly streaming the same 1080p video and still didn't even come close to breaking 2GB.

people are getting mad because we try and use data and dont break the limit. Then so many people are using it somehow and getting so much usage. ATT punishes us all for it.

Seriously what do you do? because it isn't streaming, I do it too and dont go over 2GB
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
YouTube, a lot of email sync, Dropbox usage (and Box), a fair amount of web browsing, numerous background updates (twitter, pure news widget, tv guide reminders), a little im, browsing the xda app, news apps, checking scoremobile, updating market apps and browsing for new ones, some pandora and some google music streaming. Nothing I do is abuse in any means; I take full advantage of everything the device can do.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Delgoth:
that all sounds fine and dandy to me. Do you just never use wifi then? Because I imagine if you are constantly downloading and updating apps that would be the cause as a lot of apps now seem to be pushing like 30mb and up.

Because that's my biggest thing, I rarely go into data mode unless I absolutely have to. I find me some wifi. If I had unlimited data I probably would leave wifi off altogether most days. I'm sure a lot of people do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Simba501:
I typically leave wifi off, unless I'm getting throttled ;). My data connection is usually faster than anything available. I'm not around reliable wifi that much as it is.

Assinine is declaring that you're going to stream and download data just to screw over ATT somehow.

Especially when all that does is screw others in the area.

I've yet to hit some of these ridiculous numbers that some of you area reaching and I use my data very often for everything from email to watching anime on crunchyroll.

I tried the Sirius app and found it to be a massive data hog. Guess I'll blame att and punch at the air for a while. Maybe I should occupy Wallstreet?

I guess you completely overlooked the post that came after that. I clearly stated that my data connection was faster than anything available, and that I wasn't around reliable wifi. I'm not doing anything to anyone; AT&T is. Review my post that outlines my usage. You're already "punching the air" in blaming other users. In directing frustration at AT&T, action can be taken.

i get over 2gig easier...work e-mail, personal e-mail, google music, stream sc2, nba and browsing...sigh

the problem i have with att is their advertising when they were selling the unlimited. ya sure they had something in their contract (i haven't read the actual wordings yet) but if the users wanted to, can't user sue them for false advertisement?

from how i see it, if i stream data starting day 1 of my cycle at max speed, i'll hit 2gig say at day 2. from day 2 to day 30, i'll have edge network speed, and that means i'll be capped at a certain "max" data, say 10gig. so every month, my effective max-possible data usage is 10gig. the fact that i'm "limited" to 10gig no longer makes it "unlimited".

being limited by the device's feature or network's max capability is a different story though. if you only have a 3g phone and the network is only able to stream 2mb/s then your theoretical max cap is not "restricted" as the previous example because 1) you bought the device that has the restriction, and 2) the infrastructure provided service to you with no bias.

i hope you guys understand the point i'm trying to get at. this idea has been in my head for a while now and i don't know how reasonable it is. but in the end, i feel it is att's fault for not foreseeing people hogging up the network. and for what they charge us, they should improve their infrastructures more and profit a little bit less.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
If you haven't read your contract how are you planning on suing for false advertising?

They would cancel your contract before you got to silly high levels.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnil360:
Okay so I have a Motorola Defy running on Nordic Froyo Kernel and with CM7.1 nightly 63 as the real system and CM9 111202 Nightly on dual boot (SD Card) :D

I've heard about the Defy+ ROMs such as MS2Ginger. Moreover, recently Epsylon3, the dev working on the ICS port upgraded to the GB sbf. So maybe the next CM9 builds will be running only on the new kernel.:eek:

MY QUESTION IS: Will I be able to revert back to stock Froyo safely after flashing the GB sbf? Will I be able to use all the ROMs working on stock Froyo like CM7.1 (which I can't live without) or MIUI? Is it worth upgrading to stock GB now or should I wait for a few weeks so that CM9 gets stable? :confused:

Thanks in advance!!

PS : I'm sorry for just another GB to Froyo thread but none of the others answered my question.........

Recommended to install only till shadow_2.3.4-134_DFP-10

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

CM7 is apparently custom GB ROM on Froyo kernels
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshpremraj:
You can move between GB kernel and froyo kernel, just make sure you flash the kernel zip file through custom recovery. That's how I keep moving so often between CM9+GB kernel and CM7.1+Froyo kernel.

Do NOT flash the GB full SBF through rsdlite, you'll loose downgradability.

Some users have reported that customer service said Defy+ will get ICS official update, if so, we Defy non-plus users can get that kernel too :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gampanat:
I accidently changed my Optimus 7 to HTC HD8 (HD7) with success!! (registry & update)

NOTE: I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO WHAT THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR PHONE, TRY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. (most errors can be fixed by resetting your phone)

A week ago or two I went into the Registry Editor on my LG Optimus 7 and changed some values just for fun.

I went into here:

My Device -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> Platform -> DeviceTargetingInfo

In here I changed:

OemName from LG to HTC

MODeviceName from E900 to HD8 (probobly you could change to anything else)

Then restarted the device, checked in "Settings" -> "About" and the phone said

Tomas WP7

HTC HD8

then like a few days ago I just got an update for my Optimus 7 which I did update, after that I just found out that Marketplace has changed to HTC apps instead of LG Apps.

Also you could install all the apps from it and they all works!! Now I got all the updated HTC apps including HTC HUB!

I guess that ALL the Windows Phone 7 phones can be changed by doing this way :D

Look at the pictures attached! (The links)

Homescreen with HTC Hub

I tested and it worked only in "Settings" -> "About"

I have Samsun Focus, and there was no HTC Zone in Marketplace
[Windows Phone 7 General] MoxFulda:
Can you undo the change and keep the htc apps?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gampanat:
If you read everything I wrote I also mentioned that I updated my phone...

Atleast it worked for me, and maybe others also, but the question is... how can you manually force an update via Zune to work like this without doing wrong? :P

Good Luck!

I haven't tested that yet, since I noticed this yesterday. But probobly you can since I got all my LG apps still installed and working.

If you want to undo then you probobly will have to "re-update" the phone to get back to LG or some other.
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
Be careful about that...

There was another thread about doing this.

It can break your DRM and you won't be able to use the market or any apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
let him do that :) if he can´t search then he desereves that
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gampanat:
Yep, It's the Registry part that can break your DRM and abillity to open apps.

But if you do it carefully and right the there shouldn't be any problems =)
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
This reg hack is allready known and indeed it can break the DRM what means that you aren't able to install any app from the market, only sideloading is possible. One time I had this problem and only with flashing a rom I could get working again my device. So take care...

If you want to deploy oem apps from other devices just use 3Marketplace desktop app and download them...
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoobysnacks:
it has nothing to do with careful or right...

Some phones drm break on one change, some took like 4 or DRM..

When devs like heathcliff and them have broken it, I'd say it could easily happen to anyone

There are already plenty of threads here about this problem and possible fixes. For me the microphone rubber housing was blocking the mic hole so I removed it and made the hole bigger as well. No more problems for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballmead:
I tried this today but instead of completely removing the top and bottom mic rubber cover, I just cut the front of them off instead.

I also drilled the mic holes out to 1mm.

Now it's clearer but the person I'm calling hears an echo.

However, the echo can be removed with the noise reduction function.

So I'm back to pushing noise reduction every call, I can't win :(

EDIT: Don't touch the top mic next to the ear speaker as I have now introduced an echo into the equation by opening up the hole and cutting the front off the rubber mic cover.

I have an import galaxy 2 so was able to buy a $50 all you can eat GoPhone package and have unlimited data for $50.

Its worked for six months, but since my last billing cycle, I've lost all data on the galaxy.

Weirdly, when I put the sim card in the AT&T brick phone I bought it with, the internet works fine...

whats going on and how do I get net back on the galaxy?

Is there a way they can ban internet on one particular phone? I always kept data under 2gb per month on my galaxy even though its ssupposedly unlimited.

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
They may have detected that you had a smartphone IMEI. Either that or it's something with the APN settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chadlondon:
But can they just stop internet on ONE imei, and let it work on other cells with internet (what is currently happening now). I.e, I have internet on the brick phone the sim came with, but not now on the galaxy. I did tether it for about 10mb during last billing cycle, but as its import I dont think they can detect that.

Would phoning them and telling them the IMEI is for an import Pantech feature phone be a good idea (i.e one of the phones they allow with unlimited data)?

also, it is a british unit so they dont have the IMEI on their database,.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Probably not a good idea, just in case what you worry they did, they actually did. That would mean they have seen the sgsii and the pantech, and have recorded which one can use the internet.

Do that as a last resort. For now see if there are different apns available to use. Or even more so, try someone else's android, ideally an sgsii - global or local, with the apn you're using now and see if it works.

ATT has ways to tell of it is a smartphone or not. Not by imei but by what the phone sends to the network when it connects. They have found a way to block data on smartphones unless you have a smartphone data plan on there. Your MMS as it is routed differently threw the message center will still work but any other type of data connection is denied by their servers.

Just went into AT&T shop and they said they could detect I was using a smart phone so pulled internet. Their alternative for the same service was about 90$ per month.

The cell market is so different in usa compared to uk where I am from. There I can get unlimited everything for about 30 dollars a month on about five different networks. Here in USA it's a chore being even able just to buy a sim card by itself!

Instead of goig through all of this with AT&T why not try to use it on Simple Mobiles network. Since you imported it and its able to access the AT&T network, more or less, I take it that its unlocked. You could use it on their network and have unlimited data 3G=$50 or 4G=$60.

EDIT: It does... So this means basically I have to get a walmart phone and take the sim out and put it in my galaxy. but seeing as AT&T alredy figured my cell is a smart phone, and the walmart network uses at&t towers, will I the walmart sim also realize im on smart phone???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Qortez1:
With simple mobile I don't think it matters whether you have a smartphone or not because they have a plan specifically for Android Smartphones all the needs to be is unlocked and you'll have to change the APN setting but they explain all that on the site.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CandyNJ66:
H20 wireless prepaid works on the At&T network. It's your best bet. The sim comes regular sized from stores like Best buy for $9.99 from what I remember, the s2 has a micro sim slot? If so, get someone to cut into micro sim size like someone from Craigslist, a friend or with a sim card cutter.

Activate the sim before inserting through the website or calling. Put in the sim, go to the website after making a test call and go to the h20 wireless website under configure. They have a profile so you can have Data, they can send SMS to your phone and u install it. It works for the iPhone 4/S. also unlock.co.nz will give you instructions on how to get data working and it shouldwork with the S II. Someone else here said it works for them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gadget069:
The s2 has a standard sized sim card, no trimming needed. And yes h2o uses at&t towers. I was out in the middle of nowhere and had a great signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karth500:
Only 2g speeds on simple mobile. Most international phones don't support t-mobile bands which is what simple mobile uses.

Also op, the answer is that they figured out you were using a smartphone and blocked data. If you check on Howard forums, there is a whole thread with people posting with what phones get data with the go phone plan and which ones don't. Nokias are good bets to get data. I had the n95 which worked, my coworker has an N8 which also works fine. Of course you miss out on all the Android goodness :-)

again, welcome to the land of the free.. I too am from a country where unlimited data a month costs 5 dollars and voice plans even cheaper (as it should be). I fought the system for a while getting unlocked phones, but realized I was fighting a losing battle.
[EVO 4G General] otaku1984:
Wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this lately. I lost my Evo and, unfortunately, did not have insurance on it. So I was stuck buying a new one, but when I went to the Sprint store on Friday (12/2/2011), I was told they didn't have any, that it was discontinued (which perplexed me, seeing as the original still has the best tech specs), and that Sprint had ordered the stores to immediately ship back any they had in the back.

He informed me it's been officially replaced by the Evo Design 4G, which after doing some research, realized is a locked phone with a signed bootloader. Seems Sprint is taking action to do away with all the free WiFi hotspots that rooted Evos aren't paying $30 a month for. I don't like the looks of this. :(

Needless to say, I had to find one online, which ended up being cheaper than I expected. (Best Buy wanted $600 for a Evo 4G with no activation, got a new one for $250 online)

Anyone else noticed this in their area? (I'm in Boston)
[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
The EVO4G is at the end of life and is by no means has the best tech specs anymore. Plus it also has a locked bootloader but it was worked around for root.

But the EVO design is probably a different phone and bootloader than the evo ... The evo bootloader they cracked was not a evo design..
[EVO 4G General] otaku1984:
I should have been more specific. It has the best specs in the Evo family. This is different than just a locked bootloader, it's a new form of digital signature that is, I'm assuming, the reason the device (Evo Design 4g) has no xda page. Plus the revolutionary.io method is not compatible with it, they've made that very clear on the site. And that method works on all other Evos and most other HTC phones.
