[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eustace2:
I have an M7 that I have been playing with. I use Drop Box to load apps and have also been able to load the Amazon Market. I have loaded Google Services Framework and the Google Market app, but it force closes. It is a nice tablet with the built-in stand. I keep it on my desk and use it to stream music over WiFi. The HD output is also nice. I have not looked into rooting it, but so far I haven't needed to root it to do what I need it to do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecookiemomma:
I am a complete n00b to the Android community. I picked up an M7 recently, and have used Aptoide, Amazon and other alternative markets pretty easily. However, there are three apps I was really looking forward to using: Evernote Food, Evernote Hello, and IQTELL. En's apps don't seem to want to install from the other sites, and IQTs isn't available from them yet.

I have rooted my M7 recently, with much nervousness and trepidation, with a friend's help (online help only) and am wondering if it's worth it to try to figure this out.

hi all ...for some reason all my credit just vanished!! it's RM14 worth of credit! and i just top up YESTERDAY!! my heart sank when i tried to call a few of my friends to hang out and i cant call any of them .. so i called USDD to check my credit and it's RM0.01 ..man ...so ..why does my credit drained so dam fast?? i full wiped my phone a second ago and i did realized my Data Enabled is enabled ( ironic) ..and i suspect it drained my credit...in a nutshell , what things in my phone will drain my credit? man my phone just revived from a hard brick few days ago and now my credit gone out of a sudden ...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliceomalice:
Basic things u should know about android....

-it drains credit if data is enabled (i lost rm10 the first time i get my phone)

-almost all background apps want to connect to the net

Solutions:

-switch off data enabled,but u may need to switch it on to send n rceive mms

-to prevent credit loss when trying to receive mms,download apndroid...

Tips:

-dont ever think of surfing the net without an internet package...
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
crap..when i installed GDX data transfer is enabled immedieatly and i leave it on for like 5mins then i off it..and it drained RM14 already ...holy crap ..still why do we need internet package when we have wifi?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Non-affirmative, Sir. After a FRESH install of GingerDX with the suggested Full-Wipe NOTHING is enabled ... NOT mobile data - NOT Wifi.

Even IF Wifi would be enabled by default it wouldn't be able to connect UNLESS you didn't encrypt your WLAN (WPA/WPA2 passphrase encryption).

Well, I'd rather say you may have installed some pirated software that contains some malware which is busily sending SMS without you knowing OR spamming the Internet through the mobile data connection (be glad that you seem to have a pre-paid plan ... otherwise it could turn out WAY worse if you get a HUGE bill by the end of the month).

At any rate, if you TURN OFF mobile data then there's no way in bloody hell that an app can utlilize ANY mobile data (no 3G data connection established, no game). However, if you want to hard-disable it ... EITHER clear your APNs OR install "APN Kill" (you will also loose MMS functionality) which 3G Watchdog uses as a helper to cut off 3G once the Quota is reached (for flatrate mobile data plans).

Also, set applications to "Only on Wifi" whereever possible.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maliceomalice:
The data is always on when u flasoh a new rom. I know coz im a hardcore rom tester.Usually if the APN is set automatically by the rom,it will drain ur credit.

Well, i suggest the internet package if there is no wifi. I also hardly use internet package,always stick with wifi but the wifi at my college sucks hell,so sometimes i use ingernet package
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
If you say so ...

In this case it would seem my X8 was doing some applied magic all by itself. While the APNs are there (auto-config through the mobile network) the actual 3G data connection was NEVER turned on by default; not with the Stock ROM, not with Froyobread, not with GingerDX.

Ok, chances are it could be dependent on the mobile carrier, but that's another story entirely.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
again..thanks BJ! so in a sense i should download wtchdog 3G to disable any kind of money oriented activity in my phone ? and where can i turn off the mobile data?erm..i do download a few apk files now and then ...but i don't think it will eat my credit ...oh and i don't have any mobile plans ..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
1 more..will 3g eat my credit? since i am only 16 and all these money oriented stuff is not needed ...my parents will kill me if i do so
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Sorry, memory failed me ...

The application 3G Watchdog uses to kill the 3G data connection is APNDroid (PAYWARE!)

3G Watchdog itself is a app that is counting how much traffic passed over your 3G data connection (upload/download). Since it's a watchdog it can warn and even disable the 3G connection if you're about to surpass the quota of your mobile data plan.

As a usage scenario example ...

I've got 15GB/Month mobile data.

3G Watchdog (Pro, in my case) is set to ...

- Reset the counter every 18th of the month

- Throw a warning once the quota is at 85% (of the allowed 15GB)

- DISABLE the 3G connection (by using blocking with APNDroid) once the quota is at 95% (to accomodate for inaccuracies).

This means that you can't establish a data connection UNTIL the counter gets reset at the 18th.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------

Depends on what kind of plan your phone has.

1. If you are on a pre-paid plan with NO data plan included BUT data not blocked...

Yes, in this case the mobile operator will charge you a certain amount per Megabyte or Gigabyte transferred (ask the support of your mobile operator or ask your dad).

2. If you are on a pre-paid plan WITH a data plan included ...

You won't be charged for as long as you stay within your monthly traffic allowance (called "quota"). If you bust through the amount and your mobile operator does not kill the data connection due to being "over quota" they will, of course, charge you for the amount of extra traffic you caused.

3. If you're on a subscribed plan with NO data plan BUT data not blocked...

See "1"

4. If you're on a subscribed plan WITH a data plan included ...

See "2"
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
just downloaded 3g watchdog ...and looks very complicated ...i will get to it later , still i don't have a mobile plan ...all my downloads are from wifi and today i downloaded about 20songs? all from my wifi ..and my wifi is pretty sick ! so my mouth dropped when my credit just went to 0 ....and i don't even know what i done

if i am right..i think i used about 150mb + worth of quota? but this never happened to me before ( i used to use a x10mini) and even though my credit is 0 i am still able to access to the internet and download apps ...so why did i lose my credit? is it virus?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Not really, it's actually pretty easy to setup.

If you connect to the internet through your private internet connection there's no way you will be charged for the traffic...

...unless you really had your 3G connection enabled (as in "turned on" and as in "connected"). Since Android is based on Linux the system will ALWAYS use the network interface which got initialized latest.

If you have WiFi enabled and you additionally turn on the 3G connection, then all traffic will pass through 3G until you disconnect again. This is not a bug but related to the design of most operating systems.

Well, if you transferred ~150MB on a phone plan that does not contain ANY data at all, then it's very likely that you drained your pre-paid credit with these 150MB (assuming the traffic went over the 3G connection because it was turned on and connected without you noticing - that's why I had the "3G connection" icon added into the status bar of GingerDX ... 3G / Wifi / BlueTooth / GPS / Speaker at the top when pulling down the status bar ... alternatively you could also add the "Powermanagement" widget to your homescreen to have a visual feedback about what's enabled and what's not).
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tohno:
oh ..got it ..but will 3g eat my credit? and oddly enough ..my data transfer seems to enable itself a few minutes ago ..is this a virus?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikkopt:
If it's voice or mms trough 3g then no, it won't eat credit.. only data will. And no, if you disable data transfer, it doesn't turn on by it self.

Tip: if you want to have data enabled all the time so you can receive mms's but you don't want it to access the internet, just go to your APN settings and change the APN field to something invalid. For ex: My APN name is net2.vodafone.pt, if i rename it to net2.vodalolol.pt, the phone will never make a successful connection and it won't waste my money.

There are some apps that to this.. I use APN Portugal, it can configure my connection but it also has a button and a widget do "Turn the internet down" without disabling data transfer. I actually don't need this in stock rom because i can send and receive mms with data disable, only custom rom's need this.

Edit: What APN Portugal does when you press "Disable internet" is adding "#apnportugal" to the apn field, like "net2.vodafone.pt#apnportugal" making it invalid.. you get the idea.

See if it's 3G Watchdog that is enabling your data..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] - Swift -:
This happened to me before. I lost €20. Worth of credit :0

Luckily in my country my network has a plan for students:

Top up by €20 every month and get

- 10GB Mobile Data

- 10GB Data for a Laptop (USB stick thingy).

It works for me: D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Amen.

Nope, 3G Watchdog is a PASSIVE software only MONITORING the traffic that happens to pass through the 3G data connection - the application has NO MEANS to enable the connection by itself.

You know, if, for example, the (custom) ROM or some software would do fancy things like enabling the data connection by itself just because "it feels like it" you can safely expect me to post a well-worded bug report (I leave it to your imagination to put "well-worded" into the right perspective) into the developers direction and not recommending such crap of a software in any way, shape or form.

As Nikkopt already said ... voice or MMS will not eat your credit as that should be part of your phone plan.

Mobile data (the 3G Internet connection) is another topic. Again: if your phone plan does NOT have a data plan attached, and your mobile operator is also NOT blocking internet access, then this will eat up your credit like wild (that's where most of the mobile operators make their money by ripping off unsuspecting customers having a smartphone with a unfitting plan).

However, if you don't even have a slight clue about what kind of phone plan you actually got, it would be about time you take your dad and sit down by the table to straighten this thing out.

I recon that you are using prepaid, lucky you are not postpaid, otherwise you get a heart attack when you receive your bill.

Just a reminder, do check and switches off data whenever you install a ROMs, most of time it will be enabled by default! if you don't have a unlimited data plan.

Suggestions? Everything but screen protectors are welcome :-) Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isjr:
I would just wait. The only real good item that you will find on Amazon is the Barely There case from Casemate. DO NOT buy the other Casemate cases because they have pulled them from their site because the bottom cut out for the Micro USB was off set. The main thing that I am waiting for are the docks and some good pouches to show up on Amazon. If you want something right now then I will recommend the Klipsch heaphones, they are the best ones that I have owned but they aren't cheap. Of course if you are one of those people who break a lot of headphones then stay away from these. They are the only ones that have oval shaped ear buds, I think that they patented the idea.

Is it true they are releasing the source code for MIUI in 2012 so that we can add 4G ( Particularly WiMax).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] turboll:
Imo miui is garbage
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick4mitch:
I'm glad that is just your opinion ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
I did some searching and didn't see anything about MIUI becoming open source. and even if it did, we would still need the proprietary wimax drivers from samsung to make 4g happen, which they've NEVER done in the past and doesn't look like they'll be doing.

so assuming they do open it up, you'd have to learn how to code the wimax radio driver from scratch to get it working. From what little I understand about coding, it could take months (and that's if you know what you're doing)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] seagullchris:
4G

Yea I just wanted that cleared up because someone mentioned the source code would be released in the MIUI development thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] seagullchris:
Say what you want, MIUI is so customizable and very very smooth. Definitely not garbage.

Thanks for the post. Really helped me out. Now that I have twrp 2.0 installed...

1.) how do I make a back up file (in case something happens when i try to flash a rom) so i can restore and recover to where i am at now

2.) once i do make a back up file, where is it saved and how would i access it, if i wanted to recover and restore.

3.) when i rooted my phone and flashed a new rom i had to use titanium back up to save all my apps and information. if i wanted to flash cm7, do i need to install titanium back up and do the same thing as i did on my phone or is the sd card untouched during the flashing process and all apps will remain?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] BeerRunJoe:
I was worried about doing this but now that I read your guide and seen the videos I am going to give this a try when I get settled in. Thank You!
[Kindle Fire General] zwanzig:
I got a question as well

After installing the twrp2.0, what will happen to my Kindle? Does that mean the device is already rooted and good to go?

If I don't install the cm7, what can I do with the rooted KF?
[Kindle Fire General] babbabooey97:
You have to root the kindle before you can install the TWRP. the twrp 2.0 is used when you want to flash a rom and a few other things, (i think) you wont be able to install the twrp with out rooting first
[Kindle Fire General] [-_-]:
I do believe that how to make a backup is on the install twrp2.0 video (the third one). I do not believe that you will have to install titanium backup like you do on your phone. I also do not believe that the sd card gets touched in the flashing process...
[Kindle Fire General] [-_-]:
If you follow this guide in the order which was given everything will work out great after the first video your kindle will be Rooted. Twrp is really for creating a backup of your kindle in the current state and flashing different roms such as cm7 or ics... There are many things that you can do with a rooted Kindle really too many to name. You can run different market for starters which will give you more of a selection than what amazon has to offer. I did not mean to sound as if cm7 is not a good thing to use it is just not as stable as it could be and ics is still in the process of being worked on. I will be flashing to a different rom myself such as cm7 or cm9 or ics once they are stable with little or no bugs...
[Kindle Fire General] babbabooey97:
Awesome! Thanks again. I should be all set. one last question and I promise I am done bugging. if you install cm7 rom will you still get OTA updates that amazon sends out. I know on the most recent OTA update, it unrooted the kindle. As of now i am just rooted with go launcher running and i dont feel like trying to reroot if another update comes out. so if i flash to cm7 will i still receive these updates? I know this is the wrong thread for this but just thought you might know.

Thanks again for your help.. definite sticky
[Kindle Fire General] [-_-]:
From what I understand if you are on a different rom such as cm7 you will not recieve a ota update, i could be wrong so do not quote me on that. I have however heard of people installing a modified 6.2.1 update that will help them update from the old fw to the previous one, so for them to have not gotten the update they must have either been using cm7 or turned their wifi off completely until they found a sure fix. Do a little searching on older threads you might find something when you do post back to this thread but make sure that you are sure that it does work as I would not like to have any mis-information in this thread... Thanks
[Kindle Fire General] TKP1:
Edited the quote for my own amusement.

What all do you use your KF for? I use mine while at work to keep from lugging my Mac around. Also for the occasional updates (socialnetworking=SN) and emailing.

Another question I would like to know is the types of differences there are when running alternatives in the ROM Dept.....fluid transitions, non changing wallpapers, and the like?

I got home at 8:00 this morning and took a nap. I could not even sleep because I was so anxious to do this to my Kindle Fire, so I decided to get up from 2 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and give this a shot. This was by far the best guide that I have seen to rooting the Kindle and I pulled it all off flawlessly. Thank you so much for posting this. I did have a few issues when trying to download the recovery file through Kindle Fire Utility, but I followed the guide to a tee and it worked for me perfectly!

guides and explanations

Its good to see your hints, because all those really awsome videos have their traps and you can easily get trapped on it, as i did and i had a hard time to find the right way.

My secret for this is to fully understand why you have to do this and that, and here all the guides lack, because there is no explanation WHY you have to do this.

This needs more love. I was successful, because i know from my old background how a chmod works, why i had to install the drivers again and so on but it really took me a while to get this all done, because i didnt read this thread in time.

I also understand that developers are excited about their custom roms and the cyanogenMod, but really who wants to have a kindle fire without sound and a mod with so many bugs ?

I am so happy to have my kindle fire rerooted again after the latest update without opening it or using a special cable.

So this all works quite well, but the guides really need some more explanations to get a deeper understanding about what we are doing here.

I am still working on that, to learn the details.

I want to say a big thank you to all who invested their free time and to spread the knowledge about this awsome device and make the kindle fire a really usefull tablet.

Please keep on the good work ! And have fun with a fully rooted device. There are so many possibilities now !
