[Surround General] sonus:
Has anyone received or heard word of a Telus official update enabling tethering on the HTC Surround?

I have the only other WP7 device that Telus sells, the LG Optimus 7, and while other carriers have pushed the update to the Optimus 7, Telus has not yet. I know this is an HTC Surround forum, but I recall reading a WPCentral article, http://www.wpcentral.com/canada-done-wp7, that mentioned Canada would be dropping WP7 support, and not pushing the tethering update. I disregarded the article as BS speculation, but its been a while, and I'm beginning to have my doubts.

So do you Telus users have any information?
[Surround General] JustOneOfMany:
After speaking to a Telus rep on this very topic today, the official word is no. They are not going to submit a ticket and offer the HTC firmware patch for 1st gen devices.

They are also only saying that any second gen devices will work if they are enabled out of the box. They have no confirmed eta on receiving any second generation phones, nor have a request in for them. They, of course, are towing the line on whether an unlocked new model not supplied by them will work, as they dont guarantee that all services may work on non-Telus branded hardware. I specifically requested info whether a firmware-enabled Mango - non-Telus phone would work, and they don't know.

I also got the feeling that Windows Phone is a non-issue, and they have no phones on the Radar (sic), and no guarantee they will ever get them.

I have a case opened to help me if I make the decision to move on to hopefully another carrier. I may entertain the idea of trying a gen2 device on their network if I can get one.

[Surround General] sonus:
Thanks for the reply. Well I guess I'll be flashing the ROM in my phone to a carrier that supports the latest firmware (unfortunately LG phones don't have custom ROMs yet).

As to your question about unlocked phones on Telus network, yes they will work. The only configuration you need to do is for internet and MMS access, but there are XDA writeups. You will even have access to the Telus Windows Phone marketplace hub when it is all said and done. Just make sure you get an unlocked phone that supports the proper 3G brands i.e. any phone from AT&T will work otherwise you'll get stuck wtih slower EDGE Internet speeds.
[Surround General] RebelMagpie:
That is my fear too. Now that Surround has been discontinued, we may never see another update as Telus appears to have lost interest. Why would they bother testing any new updates as they come along. If Telus doesn't test and approve them, MS won't push them out to us.

I hope I am wrong.

I may be forced to flash another non-Telus ROM. Any suggestions?
[Surround General] JustOneOfMany:
Great to hear that news Sonus. Mine current one is unlocked to pop in an AT&T sim when travelling in the US. I'll have to search around this site and see what if anything I can do with this one.

I had to laugh when the rep (after numerous holds to talk to their Product Manager) informed me I'd be better off with an iPhone or a droid. It's too bad that everyone I show my phone loves it, is amazed at it's speed, simplicty and ability to stream my stuff from home, yet not one mall dingbat has taken one out of the box

Grant.
[Surround General] sonus:
You should have asked him when any of thier Android phones would be upgraded from 2.3 or lower to 4.0. Or when the iPhone would stop acting as only an app launcher.

FWIW I changed ROMs today going from Telus to an Argentinian carrier and tethering now works perfectly.
[Surround General] RebelMagpie:
Interesting. Do you have a link to the ROM you used?
[Surround General] sonus:
Sorry, my phone is a Telus LG Optimus 7 so the ROM I used wouldn't work for your HTC Surround. But it seems like you guys have several ROMs available since HTC devices support custom ROMs.
[Surround General] Jeffsey500:
Just flashed mine. Everything works, but.... it lost the voicemail access number. What number are you using for it now (I can't find one online that doesn't make me enter my mailbox number everything)?

I can't get MMS to work... Anyone know how to fix this for TELUS?
[Surround General] jeromel:
Did you ever figure out the number for MMS? Also, do you have the link to the rom you used?
[Surround General] RebelMagpie:
Have you tried installing and running HTC Connection Setup? It seems to do a great job of seting up the appropriate operator settings in my experience.
[Surround General] mangojain:
After i did a hard reset of my phone, post a Mango update, i don't see HTC Marketplace on my phone. Is there any other way of getting HTC Connection setup?
[Surround General] donjulio0088:
Side load it, I managed to find the XAP.
[Surround General] RebelMagpie:
After my last hard reset (when I upgraded my SD card) I couldn't see the HTC marketplace either. It turned up after a day or so. Same with the Telstra apps. I'm not sure why this happened, but it was like it took a while to register itself to the marketplace with the appropriate OEM and carrier credentials. Eventually it all worked fine.
[Surround General] kieboy:
Voice mail number should just be your own phone number, as for the mms you can try sideloading the samsung tool xap, it has a function to run adc on, or just install htc connection setup app
[Surround General] dtjohnst:
Can I ask what ROM you guys are using? I'm a little miffed that I still can't tether with Telus and I'd gladly flash, but I no longer have any backup phones, so if I brick I'm hooped. I'd like to just follow the same steps as someone who's got tethering working on a Telus surround. Thanks.
[Surround General] kieboy:
Using intrinsicROM (AT&T) here with IS enabled. I'm with Telus as well but I had my phone unlocked so its still working despite being with a different carrier. Not sure if we have a Telus rom here with IS enabled.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifentanez:
Greetings

I'm a new user of android, as such, I have a lot of question. First of all, I would like to share my background with the S1 and my first attemp for a root. One word FAIL, the device died (no recovery, no download mode, no nothing, just black screen) during odin instalation process. Well, good bye S1, hello S2. The situation is I would like to have root acces for:

1.- Enjoy the power of the phone

2.- Delete all the trash of my phone carrier (Who lives in mexico, will understand what I'm talking about. Yes TELCEL)

3.- And many, many reasons more

Below will find my current data

Base Band version: I9100UHKD8

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100UMKK1-CL716259 se.infra@SEP-72 #2

Build number: GINGERBREAD.UMKK1

The Question. Where to start. I already tried on other forums they have to many guides to the same thing. Each one different from another.

I apologize in advance for the long text or for the inconvenience in case (and probably) of repeated post

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifentanez:
Right..

at this time I have root access, and i started to delete some system apps (carrier stuff) but I receive an alert

"The application Social Hub (process com.se.android.socialhub) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again" after that force closure

How bad is it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Don't delete anything. At least not in the first instance. Freeze one or two apps at a time every couple of days & see if you get results like the FCs you've experienced.

That way you can easily narrow down which app being frozen is forcing the FCs. If you freeze a whole bunch at once, just makes it harder to work out what's caused the problem.

And frankly, I don't delete anything outright. Ever. Not system related stuff/apps that are included with a rom. Freezing has the same effect & if you do have problems, it's easier to unfreeze than restore a backup or having to look around for the apk if you don't have a backup.

In other words, don't be in such a hurry to delete stuff ;) Mr Egan has already advised you the same only a single post before yours, seems you didn't listen, did you ? :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamchaser_161:
it isnt fatal

Question,

1.How did u root it? because CF's kernels dont make a mess anytime if rooted properly

socialhub IMHO u can freeze it, its a sammie bloatware

process.com.android.mms which means no mms and not sms , pretty much like a non responsive servlet call.

Try restoring your original firmware from samfirmware site and re-root , if you wanna just root u can use DoomLord's tool or Superoneclick, thats way easier.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Samfirmware site is not good for a beginner because of the multiple files and the damn pit file + repartition instruction which will kill the phone.

Best to use Intratech's stock ROM thread since there is only 1 file to flash which includes every part in the package and they don't wipe as well unless mentioned.

ifentanez,

Looking at your original build number, are you with Telcel? If you are, you can get your stock UMKK1 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113928

Scroll down to Telcel and flash the firmware file which is http://www.multiupload.com/L102CLI3YZ

You don't need to flash the kernel file as it is already included in that firmware file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iNeri:
No. That's don't work. He have to reflash the entire rom or push the files he wiped.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oliverh72:
Hi all,

I really appreciate the help. I've just bought a Galaxy W I8150 from Hong Kong, unlocked on ebay. I've bought from this seller before (Optimus 2x) with no problems.

I'm on Telus in Canada, they use 850/1900 for HSPA+ frequencies, as you can see over here: http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=116420.

I came here and wikipedia for specs on this phone before buying it and they say 850/900/1900/2100 for UMTS, which should work fine on Telus.

However, I have no phone, no data. Everything else works fine. I've taken out my SIM and replaced it, rebooted the phone, reset my APN and put it back in again. And now I'm out of ideas.

Is the phone simply not compatible? Is it not unlocked?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Oliver

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joey_UFC:
None of these work for me anymore. Looks like apps are using there own host servers now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
If a hosts file-based ad blocker isn't working for any ads, then it's probably because your SIM is configured to go through a proxy, which under some configurations will ignore the local hosts file. If you know how to use iptables, you can use that to block ads instead of using the hosts file. Firewalls will block ads even with a proxy service.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:
I used kies to upgrade, but from the posts here it appears that the same update was also available later OTA. Does this mean, next time there is an update, I should rather wait for the OTA update and not bother to get illustrate update via kies immediately?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Yes OTA usually release sometime later to Kies.

OTA have advantages that it is very fast, n replacing/adding only new/modified files of ROM, thats why it is 17MB only while Kies replaces complete ROM (550MB appr)

- Kies is advisable when you found some bug in your device, b'coz it replaces complete ROM

2] Does the new update have a new feature where when you use S-Memo the below capacitive buttons are disabled ?

3] Any improvements on speaker volume ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
1] you get push notification on your mobile (if it is checked in Settings->about phone-> software update->Auto update and Push Messages.) Otherwise u can keep checking it manually (What i m doing right now in the hope of KL7 :p)

Obviously it incurr data charges that your service provider will charge you as per the plan. Wifi is recommended though.

2]yes, this issue has been resolved in 2.3.6 KL3 update. Back capacitive button is disabled until u take away pen from the display.

3]No, not yet, and m not even expecting it, just wishing for it to be smoother...

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 8125Omnimax:
As I'm home tinkering away with the Vivid source code (Which is available on HTCdev.com) I want to share a few suggested accessories that should be mandatory to prepare you for an upcoming bootloader unlock and permanent root.

You will need a 1800mah or better aftermarket battery for the vivid ( there's a good one on Amazon I picked up that comes with two batteries for $25)

The stock 1620mah battery might not be sufficient for those that wish to overclock their own devices.

Invest in a decent size micro sd card, as roms will increase in size this will be a reliable method to flash the device. 2gb or better should be sufficient, 8gb recommended if you plan on doing any backups on titanium backup.

We are nearing the end of the wait and I as well as many of us who kept our vivids should be in for a treat very soon ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] kxhawkins:
Is the aftermerket battery physically larger? If not, I'd be highly suspect of its actual performance. Most, if not all, aftermarket batteries are bogus. I'm getting pretty awesome battery life on my vivid; moderate use lasts over 2 days, almost twice what my Inspire got. At any rate, its by no means necessary to upgrade batteries for root/boot loader.

And for SD cards, be sure to get a higher class (8 or 10) for performance.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I got the same battery/charge set from Amazon. The batteries are the same size as the original battery. In four full charge/discharge cycles, I got 20-40 hours from one of the 1800 mAh batteries, depending on the usage. I am currently running times on the 1650 mAh battery that came with the Vivid. My usage is probably less than most folks, but it should be about the same over time for me. I will report back in a few days.
