[HTC Wildfire S] gryffon:
no more USC logo on boot...

Hey... I fiddled a bit more with this and got a few apps loaded and working great... still no problems with this ROM...

Fixed OTA Updates as per insink17's instructions...

Have excellent, phone,data,gps,sms,mms etc...

removed or froze much of the remaining sytem apps that were chewing up battery/ram...

added some nice live wallpapers...

and best of all, got rid of the US Cellular bootanimationimage and can now add any boot animation I like! (Have a smart little glowing Droid on startup at present... cool!)

Thumbs Up!
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
I have a question about the whole update thing...if its already 2.3.4 does that mean the ota would update to 2.3.5 I was getting that on the vm version of team blueridge sense and was wondering if it was valid? Because I would like that quite a bit. :p
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
edit: I have given up on whatever this update may have been and an starting a new project (well my first one) but still, if anyone can help with figuring out this update your hero is much appreciated.
[HTC Wildfire S] gryffon:
This Rom is the best I found for my device, I have had It now some time and have had not one issue since adding the its ota update fix. I will help You as far as I am able, but its really fairly fast and simple.

[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
I was just trying to update it. from the update that pops up but I think its a post cause.
[HTC Wildfire S] gryffon:
If you install the OTA updates you will likely lose root and cause other problems. You don't need to update with this ROM, disable the OTA's
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
yeah I know the consequences, I just wanted to see what the update would add, chalk it up to curiosity. would have loved sense 2.3.5 but yeah. I don't know if it even was that since I can't get the update to happen again.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
The "update"

The update did not move cdma Wildfire S owners past 2.3.4. It supposedly closed security holes in WiFi, and added some other sundries. The end result, for me, was worse: battery charging seemed quirky (at best), WiFi security did improve (as I failed to hack it and get free WiFi hotspot), but no significant improvement sadly.. it seemed the opposite in fact. They encrypted their hboot and did a number of things that just.. well it wasn't easy at all to build on. So after banging my head against the wall on it.. I finally reverted then stopped the update (you can revert if s-off and you have the RUU; must relock the hboot first though). Good luck, but just fair warning.. something seemed off with the kernel most likely.. but off nonetheless as the final stock that was delivered to us, just wasn't as smooth as the first even. Hope that helps.

Regards,

Rob

PS although this ROM was a copy of the original stock.. slightly modded, it won't complete the update process (No HTC sigs), so you must revert to RUU, lose root, and update, then reroot to try the experiment.. any other copy of a sense rom would also fail on update.. suppose a RUU copy and quick mod can be thrown up this weekend (in this thread) just to save newer users the update mod (and fix the VM anomolies ;) ). I did have a comprehensive stock half built before the updates waylaid me.. I'll try to find it and my notes.
[HTC Wildfire S] demi_fiend:
Ahh, thanks for the warning. I had been looking the update up a bit since I got it, but came up with nothing so I came to this kind of conclusion. Thanks for clearing it all up though. I think a lot of confusion has been cleared. I think its pretty much safe to say we won't be getting past x.x.4 which is fine. I checked the vm website recently and the device isn't even listed anymore. :p
[HTC Wildfire S] gryffon:
I'm not sure why I would want to either update this or ever feel the need to revert back to stock. I have tinkered with this and have everything as I like It... I still think its the safest bet for our cdma devices. No issues to date... Nada!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parker81:
Hey guys, I am new to nexus but not android. Please excuse me if this is a dumb question.

Do you lose root when getting OTAs from "the mother ship"?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
Nexus doesn't really need to be rooted, since the bootloader is very easily unlocked. You should still be free to flash whatever you want, even after the ota.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedudejdog:
Yes, dumb question :p

you now own a nexus phone. Never worry about your bootloader being locked or losing root.

take whatever update you want and you'll still be able to fastboot oem unlock ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Even dumber answer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superm1:
Yes, you will lose root while taking the OTA because the permissions are altered on the binaries during the upgrade. You can either reflash the su zip file after the OTA or run a permissions correction in clockwork mod recovery and root will be restored.

can someone please tell me what is the best official samsung firmware regarding modem and kernel .im on a vodafone contract .

i made the mistake of being a newbie and not knowing at the time how to back up my firmware i got with the phone .

i have found that most custom roms i have tried dont compare to my original software i got with the phone as far as battery life goes .

thanks in advance for any replies

thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbaltech:
In my opionion CyanogenMods rom is better in every way then the costum samsung fireware. Because loads of bloatware is not hogging your battery.

But keep in mind that i am a root noob myself.

On topic:Try looking for Intratechs thread. I think links to the official samsung firmware are provided

If i was helpfull please hit the thank you button. Cost you nothing but a click.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyrosrotary:
So,do you think that this is the most stable and fast rom?Because I had flashed many custom roms but I finally flashed original again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidkid311:
Well stick with the original one if ur happy. Cynogenmod only has one stable release so far. I sugguest u wait a bit more. :)

looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Keep the original, because you're a clueless noob. Clueless noobs don't need custom roms. Don't take offense, I'm trying to help you avoid further bad feelings like this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbaltech:
Well i understand your point but clueless noobs will always stay clueless by following your advice. I cannot speak for op but i like to know a bit more about the phone i am holding in my hand.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyCarlitoMontana:
Buddy i just joined and from what i have been reading through out the many threads here it is all down to choice. if i was you i do a little research and read peoples opinions from the threads..for example you are looking for a modem. Go the modem thread and see what people are saying...I know it is a bit to much to read but that is how you will gain knowledge and that will help you to tweak your phone to your choosing..Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbaltech:
Not really bcause i agree with you. I am just saying dont flame a person for asking a question. Because in your opinion the awnser can be clear, but for the person reading it it probaply isn't hence the question.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Hi,

Yesterday I switched to Verizon and rented a RAZR. Today I have noticed that I have used 300MB in less than 24hrs.

I haven't done any streaming or anything like that, just playing around with the beautiful Verizon's LTE (a lot of speed-tests :D).

I'm afraid with faster speed I may use more data than what I have normally used on T-Mobile (2-3GB).

Now my question is;

How much data do you guys normally use?

And what plan you have or plan to get? 4GB, 10GB..

Thanks for your feedback.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
i average 500Mb a month in data usage. i use wifi when ever possible.

Device: HTC Incredible

Plan: Unlimited Data

i'd imagine a spike in usage switching to a LTE device but i'm not sure how anyone can use over 10GB a month un-tethered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
according to my most recent usage, it shows i'm currently at 48.490GB

although my new cycle starts tomorrow so....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
It may be from the initial setup of the device. A lot of information is exchanged to and from Google including backing up and restoring apps etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjgarbz:
im assuming you are tethering? has your speed been throttled at all? also, how has verizon not been like 'you dude, wtf are you doing?" haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
tether yes, as well as i download torrents directly onto my phone via aDownloader.

apparently, Verizon doesn't care how much 4G usage people put their phones through as there's plenty of '4G' to go around. they only care about 3G users using too much data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Even without streaming Netflix and barely going on youtube, I hit 3-5GB a month just from web browsing and streaming music from Pandora and Google Music on my Thunderbolt. If you watch a lot of videos, I doubt the 4GB plan will cut it.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

I've read on Droid-life of Verizon customers getting throttled and given warning letters for using 50-100 GB a month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
well, ever since i got the thunderbolt last march, i've regularly used tons of data & have gone over 50GB many times(although haven't gone over 100GB yet...)

i never got any letters & have never been 'throttled' either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spovat:
what's your monthly bill like?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjgarbz:
You download torrents.... on your phone? Maybe I am just a wuss, but I would be wayyy too afraid to do that lol. After reading this though, I will be much more liberal with my unlimited data plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i have unlimited data for $29 & 200 minutes for $24. with my work discount & taxes & such it comes to around $53 something/month.

i just have the cheapest minutes as the only time i actually make calls i just use my skype account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zargon335:
I have an unlimited plan, but still with my OG Droid. I typically see 500-700MB a month. I'm also on wi-fi a lot.

Crossing my fingers for a release on Thursday, I need a new phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
I hope that stays true. I would hate Verizon to start throttling unlimited data customers like all these other carriers are starting to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i forgot to mention, the bit about Verizon only caring about 3G users using too much data... i had heard that from an actual Verizon employee. i know there can be mis-communication within the company, but considering that so far i've had no troubles i'm going to take his word.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Thanks guys for all your replies.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I plan on geting the 10 gig plan Thursday

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
i got unlimited data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
I'm on 3G, and I regularly use between 3GB and 5GB/month on my Droid X. I don't do nearly as much as I used to, and I hardly have my phone connecting to wifi (even at home). I have an unlimited data plan, but I don't abuse it at all. Even if/when I upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus, I probably won't abuse it. Why should I? People abusing it just makes it that much worse for those of us that don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
there's no such thing as abuse when "unlimited" is involved. say i have an annual pass at Disneyland or a Season Ticket for the Chargers & I go frequently.. is that abuse?

anyway, this whole 'unlimited/abuse' debate's been brought up many times & I've already argued my side before & realize there's no point in getting into it. just like politics... each side's going to be set in their own beliefs.

so as the hippies say 'peace & love!" :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
Not sure about this. I really don't want to risk my new double data plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
That analogy does not work at all. Disney World doesn't provide a level of service based on how many people are in the park at once. With cell carriers, the more people using the network at once (and the heavier they use it), the worse the rest of the network fares. You're being selfish without caring how it affects other users, both in the short term and long.

I hope they cancel your contract. You *are* taking advantage, no matter what you believe. Your contract explicitly forbids tethering, as well as data use not authorized by Verizon (torrents aren't). You're in breach of contract and I hope they catch you for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
The codes for the "unlimited data hotspot --> unlimited data" aren't in the Verizon system now, so a HUGE YMMV.

Plus, you have to live with the concern that Verizon will audit you in the future.

Woops, there goes my unlimited down to 2 gigs.

Not worth the risk, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] |Jason8|:
Actually, that analogy is EXACTLY the same. More people in the park = higher congestion = longer waiting times = less rides in a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mean Bro Greene:
ITT: People get butthurt over other people having unlimited data. Srs bzns, guis.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dev/null/:
Plan : Unlimited Data

Current Data Usage : 84.5GB

Between Netflix, Youtube, Spotify and Twitter plus I download BRRip (high quality) movies directly to my phone using Rapidshare, FileSonic and Wupload and even games for my PC, some as big as 15GB each. I tether on my gaming rig to play games online and to browse the web because I don't have a wifi card installed.

Allot of this I did on my laptop until Comcast got sick of me going up to 400-500GB a month on a 320GB bandwidth allowance which I think is ridiculous to have such a low allowance in an age where it's all about cloud storage and streaming data that absolutely chews through bandwidth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mean Bro Greene:
This. Aside from ripping movies, I do more or less the exact same. Dumped my home ISP and started tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Nice try, Dr Phil, but incorrect. I had unlimited data for like 5 years and didn't abuse it like a self-entitled child. You guys show no respect for the contract you signed and think you "deserve" it. Get off your high horse.

People like you are the reason the carriers implemented audits on everyone. I hope they catch all of you.

Sent from my Rent-a-Rezound until the Nexus launches.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mean Bro Greene:
I believe you have me confused for someone else, captain. I'm grandfathered in to unlimited data, I didn't pull any contract wizardry like some other people did. The contract I signed stated that that I was allowed usage of an unlimited amount of data, so that's what I use. I pay for my tethering, unlike those who steal it. I generally use about 50 gigs a month. I hope they catch me using what I pay for too, that would be super. They can change me to a tiered data plan, and ill walk away with no ETF, as they've changed my contract.

Truly yours,

Dr. Phil
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] surferdad:
Im on my same unlimited plain. With my Dinc I use between 10 and 15g. In fact im teathering to my work laptop now!!! Can not wait to get the GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Except there are no stipulations, when buying a year pass, on how you can use that pass. When starting a contract with Verizon (and AT&T, T-Mo, etc...) you *sign* that contract, which is an agreement that you won't use their data to tether without authorization, and you won't use it for any means that Verizon doesn't find acceptable.

If they want to be really nitpicky, that data is actually only "allowed" for web and email use, according to the contract. They could kick you off your contract even for downloading apps.

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Well then we've *both* confused each other for someone else. You may pay for your tethering, but *VERY* few people do. 90% of the people that tether with unlimited plans are breaking their contract by doing so. That would account for, most likely, every single person that tethers on this forum.

I'm sick of even seeing those posts. Why the Mods don't close them is *beyond* illogical. They're, clearly, breaching a contract that they signed...and yet the Mods are completely fine with allowing that kind of thing on the forum. There have been problems with certain uses of Jailbreaking, and yet this is completely acceptable.

On the other hand, there's also constant talk of people using torrents to illegally download files and media...and those aren't banned either. It's as if XDA doesn't care if they get sued into oblivion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Talking about doing something and being a medium is two different things. You're talking about removing everyone's rights to Freedom of Speech. You cannot post links to illegal downloads here on XDA but it's not illegal to talk about it.

Plus not all torrents are illegal. It is an alternative file download service. Don't assume (but you're probably right).

Tethering on the other hand is on the fence IMO. On one side, you pay for unlimited internet... PERIOD. How you chose to use that internet connection is up to you. That's like being restricted to one computer at your house. Plus they are obviously letting you tether. I am an IT Admin. If you can tether, it's because Verizon is specifically allowing you to tether.

The local cellular wireless (Cincinnati Bell) will send you a text saying, "Oh your tethering, so we upgraded your plan". If a little Ma Bell can do that, you KNOW Verizon can do the same thing.

I personally feel that if you pay for something that is ADVERTISED as unlimited... then it should be limit-LESS; ie not bound by limits. Tethering is just another way they feel they can nickel and dime their stupid users to pay them more money. You wouldn't pay $45 a month PER COMPUTER in your house for internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
This is an old and tired argument that holds no water. Just because your cellphone has access to unlimited data doesn't mean you are entitled to hook up computers to it and go nuts consuming the phone's connection.

Unlimited data without an authorized tethering plan is solely meant for the phone. The argument that "I have unlimited damnit and I can use it for whatever I want" has been long contested and proven to not be the case. Wireless providers aren't ISPs.

If you think it's a wild west buffet of data, you are dead wrong. You may never get punished by the cell provider, but if you do, they are in the right - end of discussion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
You couldn't be more wrong in this post. This has *nothing* to do with freedom of speech. This is a private forum, as evidenced by the requirement to create an account. They can use whatever rules they want, irrelevant of whether you think it violates some freedom you don't actually possess. Read the rules of the forum.

On that note, people are talking about doing illegal things. I'm not talking about torrenting...I'm talking about torrenting illegal files, which multiple users have stated, explicitly, that they do. That's admission of guilt, in the law world.

Secondly, on the subject of unlimited data...you're also wrong here. Advertising unlimited data is irrelevant. The contract that you *AGREE TO* when starting service states, EXPLICITLY, that you cannot use this connection for tethering or unauthorized uses. This completely removes your "right" to use it to tether or download torrents (whether legal or illegal).

Also, they're not "letting" you tether. All of the tether apps available for Android attempt to spoof the Verizon servers in different ways. If Verizon were allowing people to tethering without paying extra, they wouldn't need to do this. Don't believe me? Go onto your phone and select the Mobile Hotspot button (usually in the settings or an in-built app). Tell me what the message states.

Tethering using a data plan not specifically meant for tethering *IS* a breach of contract, and they could charge you for every month they say you've tethered. It's also in your contract that any disagreements between you and Verizon are decided by Verizon...meaning if they say they think you've tethered for every month of your contract, you have no recourse (and you'd owe them backpay on all of those months).

Do a little research before telling people they don't know what they're talking about, please.

I average 40-50 gb per month. But I stream Pandora 3-4 hrs daily. Surf facebook, netflix, nfl app daily. I have never been throttled or notified of my amount of data usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
You are *absolutely* doing more than just those things. Streaming 90-120 hours of music does not come close to 40-50GB. The bitrate that Pandora uses is something like 1MB per minute. Even streaming 120 hours would only be just over 7GB. You have to be streaming a *LOT* more than that to get 40-50GB.

If you're streaming that much Netflix or NFL video...how do you find that much time to sit around and do nothing? Not to ruin your way of life or anything, but if you have that much time to stream Netflix, you should really invest in a laptop.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

Just called 611 and went up to a supervisor, who said they have no indication of any kind of date, as of yet. He was knowledgeable and wanted the Nexus too, but he said anyone giving dates is just guessing, at this point. He said if a date had been announced, even within the company, that he'd know about it.

So, once again, we're left out in the cold.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] s0cal:
Does anyone know where I can find support for the HTC EVO View 4G? I am trying to find rom developments and hopefully a future update to Ice Cream Sandwich. After doing some research, I noticed that the device was not listed in their upgrade list. I also did not find any support on XDA besides people pointing me out to the HTC Flyer forum. Is this a dead device? Seems like no one supports this device.. I am willing to donate to developers if someone does a port or upgrade to ICS. For those of you who are looking for rom developments like myself, lets start a fund for developers to draw more support for this device. :)
