[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Same here. Miren is the best browser I've ever used, and I've used almost every browser. I really tried to like maxthon but it couldn't replace miren.

Stock is hardware accelerated so it better be faster than anything else. But excessively limited in options.

And for some reason miren got pulled from the market. Anyone know why? Haven't found any reason online.

Here's an apk for miren browser.

stock sucks, Dolphin

just remove the side scrolling and its good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] priest2705:
+1 for Miren....I've been using it as my primary browser for about a month now...before that, tried Dolphin, Firefox, even used Bolt. But Miren is just so smooth and fast

Maybe I haven't played long enough with stock Browser but it's a no go for me.

I found Opera for Mobile is best, especially the "auto zoom-to-fit text" feature.

Some reports said Dophins HD does have this feature but I can't find it.

Another thing, Opera seems to block all Flash by default which I like, just like flashcontrol add-on for Chrome
[Dell Streak 7] rwaltman:
Hello,

I just received an "unlocked" Dell Streak 7 which I bought via eBay. (In the USA)

The box (sealed) has the T-Mobile logos plus text related to operation with the T-Mobile network, which suggests to me that it is "unlockable" as opposed to "unlocked."

This is meant to be a gift for relatives, to be used outside the USA.

What is the best way to proceed to verify if it is unlocked, and to unlock it if it is not?

Should I do it here before shipping, or should I leave it for the final users to do when they sign up for data services where they live? (Does it matter at all?)

I have not opened the box yet, (in case I need to return it,) and I do not have a data plan with T-Mobile or any other carrier.

Thanks,

[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
Call tmo, tell them you bought it off ebay and if they can help you,

if they cant call dell or email or whatever and say the same, if they still cant ask for a 'change of ownership' (provided the ebay seller is willing to assist)

if that doesnt work you're stuck

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxVCad:
Hey Guys, this is my first thread here and I'm hoping ya'll can help! Just got my Arc S yesterday and so far I am in love.

I have had Android phones in the past and they didn't have this "WiFi Hot Spot" feature. My Arc S does have it. I am guessing because this phone was not bought through AT&T and is totally generic, the application didn't get blocked. I enabled it earlier just to test it out and it worked great! I'm wondering if AT&T is going to charge me for the service though... I have PDANet but it totally sucks compared to creating an actual WiFi network.

Will AT&T catch on to what I'm doing and automatically charge me for the service? Will they give me warning?

Or do I not need to worry and the phone is just using my data like normal because the phone was never built for AT&T and they don't know what's going on?

Please help me out on this one! I would really like to use the WiFi hot spot feature at no extra cost beyond my standard data plan.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogobaba:
I didnt really get what u are trying to say well but when u turn ur phone to hot spot for wifi u have to have ur data (operator internet) enabled and the phone will use ur data internet and broadcast it as wifi so who ever connects to ur phone will be using ur operator's internet and u will be charged as normal usage btw i suggest to use operator's internet as hot spot only if u have unlimited internet exess bcoz maybe u will have to play quite alot
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxVCad:
I'm asking if my carrier (AT&T) is going to catch on to me and charge me their monthly fee for their tethering/WiFi hot spot service.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
If you use the feature you won't get charged.

I read forums of american phones sometimes to improve my English and I came across the thing with at&t's warning.

If you use too much data you might (doesn't happen to all of you) get the "You're in the top 5% of data users bla bla bla" or the one with "You're tethering, stop it or we move you to the tether plan". Also I read that that with changing plans never happened if I'm not mistaken.

So just don't tether the hell out of it and it should be good to go.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zangetsu2188:
You need a tethering plan if you're in USA afaik.

You may want to read this

http://www.pcworld.com/article/226905/android_tethering_free_ride_is_over.html

And also this

http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/18/...-using-unauthorized-tethering-methods-to-pay/

I know this is old news but you will get the picture. I wonder why major US carriers do that, if you pay for data plan I think its up to the person what to do with those data (i.e. 2GB per month, 4GB per month, unlimited etc.)

It seemed that mobile internet is expensive there.

I'm on unlimited mobile data which costs me 999 php (around 23 USD in current forex)

Capped at 1GB per DAY (I dont know if its being implemented as I exceeded 1GB in one day due to english sub anime downloads hehe)

My carrier does not even charge me for tethering on my PC.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
With a phone that is not from a carrier you don't need it as it has the tethering enabled without cheking your plan.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxVCad:
As far as the apps being deleted from the Market that's not an issue because I already have the programs on my phone.

Those two articles seem to confirm what Flo95 said about getting a warning before AT&T actually upgrades my plan. And AT&T no longer has unlimited data plans so I don't know how they would ever know that I was using my 3G connection to make a WiFi hot spot.

With all this info I think it's fair to say I'm safe unless I get some sort of contact from AT&T warning me about data usage/tethering/WiFi hot spot usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayfenney:
I can't figure out whether I had this lag problem when I first got my GN. 99% of the time my phone runs absolutely beautiful, perfectly smooth scrolling through menus and on the homescreens.

The only two places I do encounter lag are when I press the home button if I'm on a screen other than the main one (eg I'm on the left side screen and press the home button to return to my main homescreen it seems quite stuttery). And the other place is in the settings menu, when selecting any of the options it lights up blue but when it returns to it's normal colour before going to the appropriate setting it seems quite stuttery as well.

Neither of these are massive issues obviously, but I'm just interested in whether this is standard and it's always been like this or if by flashing other ROMs to my phone (currently running ARHD 2.1.2. but I've had these since I flashed the first version at least) I've caused this behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjsph88:
I'm rooted but running completely stock and I have lag issues occasionally as well. Mine occur around 30% of the time.

I'm hoping a software update can address this, because when all of the Nexus reviews were going up a month or so ago, there were no complaints about lag. At that point in time I'm fairly certain the reviewers had Android 4.0.0 installed.

Anyone had this kind of problem? Maybe some advice?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillbeast:
There is something pushing on the screen from behind. Push hard on a laptop screen or anything LCD and it will do that. It's to do with how LCD works.

yup mate

i got this issue when am using motorok e8

it has fine lcd.... but the main drawback is lcd issue

well in the on topic., as hillbeast said... the gap btw the lcd screen and the screen case gets shortened... so when u put ur finger..it hitting the screen case/something below..

SUGGESTION:

ur lcd got damaged... use till it lost completely.. meanwhile buy one lcd or report to

this to the nearby samsung service centre

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TeknoJnky:
So I have an evo 4g with unrevoked s-off, an evo 3d with revolutionary s-soff, and an evo view 4g with revolutionary s-off.

Now my understanding with unrevoked is that the s-off is permanent and not tied to the hboot. Meaning it does not matter if the hboot is updated after the device is already s-off. I have used various RUU exe's to reset my evo4g without losing soff, simply flashing recovery via hboot will allow me to reroot or flash a different rom.

But from what I am gathering about revolutionary, is that the s-off is tied to the hboot, so that if you upgrade hboot then you lose the s-off?

Is this correct?

What is preventing us from getting an unrevoked type of s-off?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SteveDusa:
Well yes and no. As far as we know the Revolutionary's S-Off is "permeant". However the official View's HC built has a different HBoot which is required to use with HC, and it needs to be updated in order to use HC. Thus why there are many reports of S-Off GB device has soft-brick after accepting the official HC update (but was able to revert back to GB with RUU).

Until the devs get their hands on the new HBoot we'll just either have to wait or go back to S-ON and stick with the HC and new HBoot.

Why? Lack of popularity on the View's end. Flyer is a world-wide device while View is State-bond only. But given time, it'll be solved.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
read up on the difference between ENG S-OFF and RADIO S-OFF if you what to know the difference.

The issue here is the fact the HC hboot is modified for the flyer and view in a way we don't normally have to deal with. If there was an official HTC unlock for the view, I would say by all means go ahead and upgrade and we'll fix the S-OFF later, but there is not so you have to either wait or go back completely stock and stay that way for the foreseeable future.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RedWingsFan:
I get my View in the next few days so i should leave it stock

or

Root it via your instructions in the other thread and not accept the HC update. Just wait until you have a method to go to HC.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
i have setcpu and the lost rogue v1.3 and i what to put it at 1704 MHz but it freezes or reboots, so what could i do? what voltage?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Econ212:
You can try upping the voltage, not every phone will run at the highest speeds. Overclocking is luck of the draw, not every processor will react the same. My phone requires 1550mv @1.6 to be stable and 1.7 is not stable. There is no real advantage to running the processor this high anyways. 1.2-1.4 is the sweetspot, 1.2 does everything the phone needs to and you usually have room to underclock, to increase battery life and usability of the phone. Benchmarks can be fun but imo, stable phone @ lower voltage > semi-stable benchmark monster @ high voltage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Agreed, I have tried all sorts of overclocking and always go back to 1.352 or 1.2 because of stability. Sure you can bump it up and get high benchmarks, but who cares it is just a number. I would much rather have lower numbers and a stable phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bbb1977:
I am running New Senzation ROM with the Desparado Kernel and I am running smooth and blazing fast at 1600. I actually can run at 1704 but dont like to overclock to that speed for very long but havent had any crashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Wanna trade phones? I wonder if you could push it higher? I can get mine to run at 1.7, but it will eventually crash within a few minutes. 1.4 seemed to be the most stable (and got the best quadrants) , but I don't bother OC'ing anymore. The phone runs fine without it. I don't really ee the point. I do notice some lag hear and there at 1.6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
I almost always am in the 800mhz range and rarely does my phone jump to 1ghz and definately almost never hits 1.2ghz. Besides trying to get your phone to give you some meaningless number as far as the real world is concerned ( quads) there is zero reason to ever overclock THIS phone. This phone has better battery life than iPhone with a slightly higher clock which is awesome. It actually performs the best of any phone to date. People conatantly hate on apple so hard to the point that when apple actually does something thats honestly great people still see the cup half empty with them. Apple has some of the best battery life of any smart phone to date. It also is one of the smoothest UI's out. They are a smart company and have great hardware. The example i like and cheer them on for is there way of using there cpu in a certain way. They have a really beefy cpu and then they underclock it quite a bit so it just sips battery power. Yes apple doesnt actually multi task so its easier for them to achieve battery life this way easier and it requires more cpu to run our phones as they have REAL multi tasking but i use the same idea. I underclock my phone to run at 800mhz till i reach 80% cpu load then bump to 1ghz. I never have my phone shutter or lag. The GPU is a monster. I get sooo much more battery life out of it. Overclocking is nearly pointless as a daily driver on this phone. In the past with my HTC Eris and HTC Evo 4g i had to overclock as muCh as possibly due to lack of a powerfull CPU and GPU but this phone (just like iPhone) has more than enough muscle and should be under clock 200mhz with no ill effect at all. Thia phone truely is the first legit android device in my eyes because it has more than enough under the hood. Underclock 200mhz and undervolt -75 and this phone truely shines and comes out #1 phone today in ALL areas. Smoothest scroling, lagless and best battery life to date. I love this phone and my set up :-)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] markymoomoo:
Hello everyone - hope you're all well. So, I took the plunge and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S2 - and thankfully succeed. I've also managed to install Lite'ning 6.1 via Odin. I did encounter a boot loop (definitely a squeaky bum moment) but with the help of this site, I managed to sort it out.

I'm now trying to install MIUI - but I'm encountering problems. I follow the instructions to the letter, but when in recovery, the MIUI zip doesn't appear in the list after choosing the option to install from zip on SD card. It's definitely there - it shows in the option to from install ROM from SD card when in ROM manager.

It's not just the MIUI zip it happens to, it happened when attempting to install VilliainROM as well. Can anyone kindly tell me why this is happening? And how I can get round this problem; I'm really eager to try MIUI - as good as the Lite'ning ROM is...

[Kindle Fire General] hlpdt10:

So at the moment I can not associate my fire because the fire can not be rooted so i cant install the market app correct?
[Kindle Fire General] hwong96:
That is correct. If you have the latest KF update, no root. If you had rooted previously this update breaks root.
[Kindle Fire General] airmike3:
Just got a KF for Christmas. I have it rooted, but I can't get the Vending.apk file to transfer to the /system/app directory. I have all the permissions; it just doesn't allow the .apk file to transfer.

I'd post in the appropriate directory, but because I have a new account, it won't let me.
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
Did you mount the system directory as RW? It's Read Only by default.
[Kindle Fire General] Ongoy:
Try Kindle Fire Utility, it's [almost] foolproof.
[Kindle Fire General] airmike3:
I did mount it as RW. When I try to paste the file into the directory, it just disappears. I can never get Vending.apk to actually paste into the directory.

[Kindle Fire General] airmike3:
Finally got the android market to load on my kindle fire. It wasn't too bad and I don't know why no other way worked, but this way does.

You have to have your Kindle Fire rooted before you do this step, so search elsewhere to do that. Once you have it rooted, follow this video:

OK... realistically though, screen on time is the real indicator, along with usage patterns (were you web browsing, gaming? what games? how bright was the screen etc). Screen on time can be found out by Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display = Time on (just in case you weren't aware).

How much did the battery cost?

I have the Samsung's Flip Cover which I like, but the corners are not protected at all.

Any luck anyone?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Souai:
you'll need to modify one or the other.

just cut a bit off the side of tpu case. the folding part of the flip case doesnt exactly go corner to corner so you can still leave enough protection for the corners.

here's one ive modified for my device.

the friction of the tpu gel case means it doesnt slide, meaning i can use the flip cover as a stand. it still offers sufficient protection for the corners and for the display.
