I live near Baltimore, MD.

I am on infuse. I got warning message last friday when I was @ 1.6Gb, and today i am over 2 GB and now I am throttled..

I cannot open a normal web page, facebook app takes atleast 2 mins to open.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan and routinely go over 2.0 GB per month using Spotify, but never get to 3.0 GB. I have never had a warning for anything be it usage or tethering. I just got my SGS2 yesterday and have downloaded Netflix (was not available on Inspire running ICS, plus no proper video codecs/drivers) to watch while doing cardio at the gym. I'm sure it won't take long for me to get to 5.0 GB.

Let's see if I get a warning. ;)

Opinion: I feel like with cloud-based services becoming more and more prevalent, the carriers will have to eventually all go back to unlimited data plans like they all had in the good ol' days. If it wasn't for Sprint's horrid customer service (I've experienced it first hand trying to help my girlfriend with her SGS2 issues) and the inherent problems with CDMA phones I'd be over there.

Do you have any premier discounts or employer discounts?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I do, and I've gotten the warning 3 times (throttled twice).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
Nope. Just a regular long time customer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] runtohell121:
I have premier discount.. that isn't applied on the line that has the unlimited data plan.. was applied on the first line in the family line where there's no features added, only voice.... and I still get throttled. My location is Central California (Atwater/Merced)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Just seen that they are showing a part of the fox news throttling video on the soup on E right now. Wow awesome!

I got a notice on November 28th that my data use was IN the top 5% with a warning to use wifi to reduce my usage in order to avoid data speed reduction in future billing cycles.

I got one December 31st and January 23rd saying I was APPROACHING the top 5%, but I wasn't IN the top 5% so I wasn't throttled. Then I got one three days later (Jan 26th) saying I was "among the top 5% of users. Data speeds for this bill cycle may be reduced." They weren't kidding. I was dropped down to 100kbps. Websites wouldn't load, the market would time out, the facebook app was useless....it sucked hard.

I used the code to get my data usage and the text said I used 2684.9 on Jan 23rd. I didn't have one sent to me on the 26th, but my usage was just under the 4gb mark.

I asked a rep what they based the top 5% on and he said, "It differs by region". So the top 5% here in Texas wouldn't be the same as the top 5% in California. I've been using "My data manager" since I got throttled to keep better track of which apps are using data. I've already found some that are using data when they shouldn't. Those got deleted right away. I also found certain apps that were using data that I pretty much never use, so I got rid of those too. Right now the app I have used the most data with is.....netflix lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MonFrayr:
Very true, here is an interesting article about just that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nooomoto:
As of today I'm at 2,169.9 MB for this cycle. This is the norm for me and I've never had a message alerting me of anything or been throttled. I'm in Miami, FL. I'll be using Netflix again today for an hour at the gym during cardio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Well I did my little protest today, I know it wont matter anyways with att but i felt like doing it. I have downloaded about 12 roms today and then deleted them back off while I was streaming hbo go and then netflix for about 12 hours. I am on my last day of billing cycle and started the day at only 1.4Gb used for the month/billing cycle, then after all that I should be well over 5Gb now. F ATT is how I feel right now. I have been a LOYAL CUSTOMER for over 12 years since cingular days. I always pay my bill on time, I have been paying for UNLIMITED for over 4 years before this throttling illegal crap. If I am wrong on the date my bilking cycle actually ends I will do the same tomorrow. I know my cycle ends on the 21st but I think my normal data didnt come back until the 22nd last month. My own personal shot back at them for whatever its worth. The worst part is I NORMALLY never used more than 4Gbs a month before this crap and 1 month I used 10Gb but that was a very busy month being away from wifi. Screw them...

Same situation a you. don't usually use a lot of data per month, long time customer, pays bills on time. went out of town one weekend, a two old in the back seat and YouTube = lots of data. got throttled one week into cycle. pissed so wanted to make make $30 worth it. I figured I've be paying less than a dollar A GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
Is it just me it did AT&T adjust their throttle speed? Not by much but a little more usable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Que1999:
Interesting, if this is true it looks like they may have doubled the download speed... Anyone else experiencing this?...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derhannes1983:
I read in a German board from a reseller that Samsung is recalling the whole first bunch of phones delivered to resellers because there is a major hardware problem.

Telling from what he wrote, the Nexus is overheating the mainboard in the phone causing malfunctions on the display and even heavily damaging the screen.

I cannot proof this, but the phone is not really available in any German store, and some people received a mail from Cyberport.de that they will not be able to deliver the phones before Christmas. As good as none German MediaMarkt, who made a big marketing campaign for the phone are able to sell a phone, they all blame Samsung for not being able to deliver the already preordered phones...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
Wow thats pretty bad. I think the laws there are very strong about defects and false advertising. I remember the Galaxy i7500 was mis-advertised by saying it had some bluetooth and wifi option it didn't. O2 offered a full no question refund to customers even after owning the device for over a year!

They're probably very scared the same might happen again. Whereas in other territories it could probably be handled as warranty repairs except for those few people who really know their rights.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bierfreund:

As I said, I cannot proof it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
If we are talking about the same forum. Then it's a Swiss forum and the reseller is just talking about the Swiss market.

Unfortunately we don't have any specific informations.

The only thing which we can tell for sure is that the device still isn't available in our country. And they probably delayed the release again. It was supposed to come tomorrow but some shops changed their date.

Maybe I can give you more specific information tomorrow.

Edit: It is indeed the same forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macros3001:
I bought a Nexus at Saturn in Germany 5 days ago...so far not having any trouble. It get's pretty warm while charging but I guess that's rather normal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
This is troubling. I thought maybe it would explain my crashes but i've had crashes with screen corruption (probably not exactly what they are talking about) even when the phone seems cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
The reseller is talking about screen problems after the phone's overheating.

But as said before at the moment it's just one single guy telling something which we can't really prove. In addition we don't have an idea what "overheating" means. Does it have to become really hot. Or is it already enough if you play some good looking games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Woots .. This is dishearthening ... As I am going to buy in Germany ...

Any more coverage in the German newspaper or blogs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
Nothing in the news or in the highly frequented German Android related forums.

As the mentioned topic is from a Swiss forum and not prooved at all I don't give a ****.

Got my handset from Saturn Germany and besides that Samsung messed up the firmware of the first charge - there's a fix for it since yesterday - I have no problems at all. I don't even have a degree of increasing temperature whatever I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Minz0r:
Dont believe the FUD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hp17:
if so, i believe Samsung would know the range of serial numbers for the devices, or?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegrau:
Guys, I live in Switzerland and I can confirm that many shops here didn't get the Nexus though they were "expecting it this week". Two of them confirmed that it was due to a Samsung recall and those of them who gave me an estimation date (others wanted to stay careful and told me "we don't know") said the 15th of december.

Mediamarkt Switzerland, however, told me january... I hope they're wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
But I would still say that this is done not because of an hardcore A-Team hardware bug but more possible because of the firmware update Samsung messed up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegrau:
You're probably right. My point was just that rumors about Switzerland recall are true. I don't know if this is affecting other countries, or if it's a hardware/software problem.

Thins is, until last week all info I could get was "soon, but we don't know when" and now it's "we were supposed to get it but it was delayed". So for all the people complaigning about the VZW lack of info, just know that it's the same everywhere ; Samsung is probably to blame for this mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianwood:
I heard a rumor that the reason the Swiss version of the G-NEX was melting the screen was that on the Swiss version the glass was replaced by a thin layer of cheese! Could this be true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DanVanDamn:
Maybe it was troll skin instead...

@thegrau: No worries, I got your point.

All I wanted was to say what you just have brought to the point: Samsung screwed it and is now in a hustle to fix it. Thanks god, I decided to flash the Google build by myself.

Speed up Internet

Don't see any attached files for this process and the obvious questions:

1/ What difference in speed does it make

2/ Does it affect battery life

3/ Does this work for the GSM version?

Thank you.
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
EDIT: Fixed the links, please remember VIRGIN MOBILE USA Is the ONLY one I have tested

oops, thanks i forgot to link the files on here. As go the questions:

1) Significant in 4gTowns

2) Yes, it actually makes it better

3) Nope, PRL files are for CDMA Only, and this specifically is only for the Virgin Mobile or Sprint Version.

17) A screen will appear that says Clean s58. Press the power button once to select clean s58 and the phone will start doing it's thing and should take about a good 20 seconds until it's finished.

I get the goldcard made ok, then get to this stage, says update in progress in blue, flashes through a few lines then in black says

'jumping to DIAG....'

and freezes at this point indefinetly.

I tried the whole process again but same....

where am i going wrong??

thanx
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Just keep trying this step, Ive had reports this one can be moody. Also it does not work on the GSM version of the wildfire S i beileve you need XTC Clip for that one still
[HTC Wildfire S] slina:
and is there some way to s-off European wildfire s?
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
Unhappily no at this time, we must wait for devs or HTC
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
only xtc clip

The xtc clip would work. No soft unlock method yet for sim carders.

They [xtc clips] are roughly $40 bucks or take it to a local [independents are best] cell-phone shop. They probably have the clip and will charge you roughly $15 for unlocking [service].

There wouldn't be the development the WFS has without the few that have gone s-off with the A510e [ie alquez, jikantaru]. The A510c development is in its infancy when compared to A510e development, and no dev is possible with your bootloader locked.

[HTC Wildfire S] Schnello:
Hi.

Great tut but why you use a exploid to install root and not the recovery?
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
The recovery install can be installed after S-off like any other android phone throug adb shell.. Also, everybody. I have the CDMA version of CM7 for our device :) A clear first. Look for it in the dev section of the wildfire s
[HTC Wildfire S] cpie20:
Its not there >.<
[HTC Wildfire S] Ron173:
tried a few times, mine is an A510b.

heres the bootloader info screen listing....

RADIO-7.46.35.08

Any further ideas?
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
that is a GSM radio number. Youll need the XTC Clip

Having problems creating this simple Gold Card.

i followed the simple instructions given in this guide however i must be making a simple mistake because i tried to do step 11 and 12 but with out success because it says "unhandled exception has occurred in your application. if you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. object reference no set to an instance of an object." :confused: idk what im doing wrong, i was able to go to the web page, download img, load img. when i connect the phone to mount disk mode as instructed to click patch MMC, i only get this error. plz help.

CDMA phone. i tried continuing but as expected i did not achieve a gold card. stock 2.3.4 gingerbread.
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Make sure your card is mounted and selected in the program. Thats what the error sounds like to me ;)

S-OFF Problem :

i passed all of the steps with no problem until step 16 . my problem in step 16 is when my phone restart and goes to H-BOOT it shows me This message :

[ Update is in progress ....

Jumping to DIAG ... ]

It takes about 30 min but nothing happen

whats wrong ?

my rom is 2.3.3 Asia ( Arabic ) H-BOOT 1.03.0000
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
You have an gsm phone or cdma, this msg comes by me too, but i have an gsm, and then the onliest way to set s-off is an xtc clip.
[HTC Wildfire S] simonsimons34:
Well, I just got off the phone with HTC. The wildfire S WILL NOT be supported by the htc dev site that unlocks bootloaders. We will have to stick to the methods present.

PS CDMA USERS:

2fast4u88 has discovered that s-off causes corruption in the misc.img He has fixed it, and im working on getting it on here soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trippedout:
so i've been playing around with kernels the past couple weeks ive had the phone, and didn't really notice until a day or two ago that my wifi and gps never connect anymore.

When i turn wifi on, the icon comes to the notification bar but then never connects - going into wifi settings shows "obtaining ip address" but it never works.

thought it was a kernel issue so went back to the stock rooted kernel and a few others with no avail. today tried updating the modem and still nothing.

tried on home and office networks, all of which were working just fine a week or two ago, and now i cant connect to anything.

same for gps, i remember when i tried zedomax's very first kernel my gps stopped working but reverting back to stock worked fine.

ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Klarifeye:
I too am having this issue and i cant seem to find any answers. I've flashed multiple kernels and after the EK02 I now have 0 WIFI on any connection. This is very frustrating as i use my phones wifi MUCH more than i use the 3g/4g

:confused: does ANYONE know whats going on or am i S.O.L. and have to just go back to sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brianhot1:
im having issues with wifi as well it turns on for about 20 seconds then turns itself off,this started happening post update,I hate this no more WIFI DIRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or even connecting to home wifi its stock-rooted,all I did was re-root after the update was sent to my phone
[Captivate General] stoehner:
I have been trying to use Odin with no success recognizing my device. So I am giving up for now.

My question is can I use CWM or rom manager to flash a rom without Odin. I am stock froyo 2.2 and was wanting to flash another custom froyo rom like fasty or similiar. Can this be done without Odin? Thx
[Captivate General] jack man:
If you don't want to use ODIN you will have to find the method to get around the 3e recovery in order to use ClockworkMod recovery. You'll need something like Root Explorer from the Market so you can move files around. Search in the forums for 3e recovery workaround.

When you get that, then just put the zip of any froyo rom on your internal sd card and flash it through CWM.

This is the most simple type of flashing so if I lost you, your best bet is to read as much as you can about flashing froyo roms. Luckily, it is generally safer than trying to start out with gingerbread roms.
[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
Have you considered giving Heimdall a try?

You may also want to check the options in the "Connection Issues" post in my signature.
[Captivate General] stoehner:
That's what I needed to know. I put the 2e recovery fix through root explorer. So I should be in good shape. So I wipe everything, and does it matter what CWM I have. I just installed CWM thru rom manager.

PS I am gonna try hemidall soon.

Thx
[Captivate General] capocaccia:
Theoretically, if you have the 2e recovery fix done you can flash the new rom from the recovery menu with no problems. The new rom will just replace the old one but all your data will stay where it was.

I would suggest backing up and flashing from stock because most roms run better this way. But, to each his own.

Lastly, Rom Manager sucks for Galaxy S phones. You should really learn how to use odin because there have been some problems when people use rom manager.
[Android Apps and Games] bubble2:
if you set orientation control to landscape then potrait errors disappear

this has the effect of being able to install and try different apps for compatibility

I now have AirDroid (by setting landscape mode) working which really helps with installs and app exports etc

tested with Sony NSZ-GT1 honeycomb 3.1 offical update,note you may need to force close airdroid after first run

needed

orientation control(paid $1.49),AirDroid (free) both found in android market

this also allows other potrait only apps to work,note some still force close

other orientation apps may also work but untested

if you find a free one let me know
[Android Apps and Games] theansible:
Thanks!!

bubble2: Huge help... now it works. Thanks so much!!
[Android Apps and Games] famewolf:
Anyone ever find any alternatives to Orientation control to set to landscape? I would like to install airdroid on my logitech revue.

*update* Answering my own question "Rotation Locker" is free and seems to work the same. It does have to be sideloaded (i downloaded it via dropbox) as market says it's incompatible but it works fine. I used it to install tapatalk, airdroid and mint.com.

Looks like T-Mobile is doing the GB OTA again. Just wondering if anyone gets it, will you save it before you install it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
It's the same as before, nothing new to see here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Yes but it would give a very easy way for anyone in the future to upgrade the baseband if we had the official zip file. Nobody saved it last time around so I'm just throwing it out there in case someone gets it and can save it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
You could ways flash froyo and wait patiently

G2x - 2.3.7 CM7

Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It might not be that easy like on a Nexus One where they is a zip file in the cache directory. I had an LG Phoenix (Optimus One variant) that got an OTA update. There was no zip file in the cache directory. LG seems to create an FOTA directory somewhere and places various FOTA files around the system. I could not find the main file with the bulk of the OTA update. Also, when it rebooted to perform the update it went into a mode similar to Software Download mode where it performed an AP and CP update at a very low level. If this is the case whatever we can get from this OTA won't be of any help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
My thinking is that at the very least if there is an update.zip then anyone who still wants to upgrade their baseband could just install that and then reflash clockworkmod and restore to their favorite rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, if there is an update.zip type file this would be true. But based on recent experience with another LG phone it wasn't that simple and I gave up looking for all the files. On the two Nexus Ones when I owned them, they simply had an update.zip (another name with build, checksum, etc in file name.zip) that could be put back on the phone and be flashed in regular recovery, provided that the phone had stock, unmodified firmware from one of the the previous two updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Gryncc:
Were can I get it from I'm still stuck with unknown baseband a ? Battery and no signal plaza help
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
You cannot get the OTA with an unknown baseband as it reads the baseband to do the OTA. And since OTA means Over the Air if you have no signal you cannot get it OTA. Use the KDZ method (search the forums for it).
