[Atrix 4G General] pcrat:
wow,

Must be with the 2gig users and up, because me and my wife are on the 200MB plan, and each month i come very close, to it, like 189mb give or take each month, all i get is a txt saying your close to your limit. but i never get throttled.

must be since 200MB isnt crap. for me, thats like 2 web pages lol.

I did go over once, by like 1 MB and i got charged another $15.00 , as*holes. but i am not paying an extra $$$ for the 2 gigs, when most of the time, there are wifis all over so. data is getting cheaper and cheaper, and so far sprint is the truly unlimited. But there service sux. so im sticking with att. but everyone will go to unlimited. I dont mind unlimited with throttling a little but down to only 150-250kbs, is crap. If im not using my data, and im not in a wifi area, i just turn the data part off. Im not a huge facebook fan, and I only update apps etc, when im on a wifi. so. but there are alot of people out there that update there freakbook stats every time they take a dump.

The only time u should be getting throttled is if u go over by ALOT. but hey, AT&T is getting alot of money for those who go over. so why do they care.
[Atrix 4G General] upNsmokeAllDay:
**** att and they're dirty business practices. Anyone with unlimited data is getting emails about being in the top 5% of data usage and then throttle us to the point where the phone is useless. There response is use wifi, wtf I'm suppose to stay home when i use my phone? I will be joining the class action law suit with many other pissed off customers.
[Atrix 4G General] upNsmokeAllDay:
Here is your Ferrari sir with unlimited gas. You can only drive it 5 miles per hour though.
[Atrix 4G General] JuanDaDon86:
im going to sprint f*** this they getting the nexus
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
I'm pretty sure Throttling is only for unlimited users. If you go over your 200 MB they'll happily charge you the overage and keep serving more.

As an aside, if you're on the 200 MB plan you can go online and change your data plan for the billing period when you go over and backdate it to the beginning of the month. then change it after the billing cycle is up.
[Atrix 4G General] mandrsn1:
A better ananlogy would be, "you can drive it as fast as you want for the first 5 miles."

I don't see a class-action suit being successful here. The contract is for unlimited data, not for unlimited data at maximum speed. If AT&T can show that a small percentage of users are using an extraordinarily high percentage of overall bandwidth, throttling may be seen as a legitimate answer to improve overall network performance.

Although, a case like this would never make it to trial. AT&T would settle and anybody who was throttled will likely get a couple dollars. AT&T would continue to throttle.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Sprint has the WORST coverage of all of the carriers (I tried them ALL last year), at the very least in my area they are the worst. Also, dont buy into there lies about not throttling, SPRINT THROTTLES there is no doubt about that. Also Sprint advertises a good price, but its also a lie, they charge an extra $10 that they don't mention just because. There unlimited plan costs $100+ (regardless of what they advertise, when you get the bill you will see I assure you, I have been there) and on Att I pay slightly less than $100 for much better service. I am not always happy with Att, in fact most of the time I am unhappy with them, but I'm definitely not going to take a step back to Sprint, a more expensive service with less coverage. At least when Att lies they use some inventive techniques like "The Atrix is capable of HSPA", thats not a lie, but it seams unethical. When Sprint lies they just flat out lie. They lie about their prices. They lie about throttling. The CEO goes on thier commercials and straight up lies to the whole country saying they don't throttle, then tells Forbes the truth. Hopefully you hear my warning and avoid Sprint like the plague, but if you choose to do business with them you will see for yourself soon enough.

Agreed.
[Atrix 4G General] mrphil101:
I agree they are only throttling the unlimited users. I had that problem till I switched plans (actually they forced the switch, but that is another long thread in itself). Once I got to a metered plan, they stopped throttling, and were more than happy to charge for data overages.

ATT still thinks that customer service is to give you as little as possible based on their outdated infastructure instead of updating\modernizing and providing the customer what they want. They still can't figure whether to update their existing equipment for 3g, or go with LTE, so they are trying to do both. Two years now they been touting 3g and still have about the slowest data speeds, nowhere near what the 3g is supposed to be.

If we as individuals had the power to sue them, they would be more inclined to attempt to meet customer demands and stop the false advertising. Thank congress for taking away the right to sue.
[Atrix 4G General] martinisadork:
So they offer a 2GB plan and a 4GB plan, and then they turn around and try and claim that someone using less than 2GB is among the top 5%!?

I call BS on that and that could be the only hope for a class action suit; make at&t prove the data usage they claim. With netflix and youtube and all sorts of streaming services there is no way that 1.7GB puts you in the top 5%.

By the way, I'm at 1.8GB about halfway through my billing period on normal usage for me and I have never been throttled yet.
[Atrix 4G General] rquinn19:
It's top 5% in your market. I feel sorry for those in retirement communities.
[Atrix 4G General] mustang8650:
thats what really gets me going about some of these carriers, i'm on a unlimited plan with verizon but am careful not to overdo it, keep hearing cases of people getting throttled etc...its seems to me unlimted should never be limited, perhaps we need to hand them a dictionary
[Atrix 4G General] gammite:
what happens if you travel alot?
[Atrix 4G General] rquinn19:
I'm assuming it's still your home market and I'm guessing that has something to do with the FCC and how they are getting away with it. There's a lot of rules that pertain to your market. I read a little about it when trying to port two lines over that were from different markets. Couldn't happen, was only able to keep one of the numbers.
[Atrix 4G General] kdoodle:
I had the same problem a few months back.

Speculation from a lower division rep is that they're trying to push everyone who has the unlimited data to tier plans because as far as I know, a lot of users with unlimited who have gotten the top 5% warning in the past are getting capped around 2GB

I spoke with an upper division rep and this is what they said, and this is not word for word:

If you get flagged once as a top 5% user, you will stay flagged indefinitely. This means that whenever you reach the top 5% (I asked, not specified as to how that works considering every one has a different billing cycle and top 5% of which users, unlimited or every one, or every one that is flagged), you will get reduced speeds.

For those with unlimited who have never been flagged and reach past 2GB will not be flagged unless they deem you a serious data user.

How they define top 5% is not specific, but is based on their "research".

Now you're thinking if less and less people want to get capped, they'll use less data, and therefore the top data usage number will change, that sounds exactly like what they're trying to do. I asked about that, but she said she has no idea about how they actually do the capping except once you're flagged, you're flagged, especially since you're getting capped around 2GB.

Just letting you guys know the facts I got from the CSR and their supervisor.

i was installed a i9000 rom on my samsung galaxy s2 i9100 (because i didn't read the title)..

i know it's a stupid mistake but- can be a solution to the hard brick that i got??

or i have to go to store to fix it??

please help me because my phone doesn't work at all (not download mode or recovery also..) :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
If download mode no longers works you will need a JTAG device to restore functionality, which are expensive.

So you will mostlikely have to go to a store.

If the repair guy wants to, he can find out that you flashed a wrong ROM.

Which means he will know your warranty is void and will most likely charge you for the repair.
[General Questions and Answers] amitzzxx:
i understand... oh crap - there is someway i can make them to don't know that i flashed a wrong rom? and i also want to ask you how to flash my store (16gb but its in my phone its not an a memory card).?
[General Questions and Answers] jm0nki3:
I did the same thing when i got my t989. I put a i9000 rom on it and it never turned back on...sorry man i had to get it warrantied out and got a new one. Thank god i did it in 3 hrs of getting the phone so they swapped it out no problem.
[General Questions and Answers] oneill2john:
I think there's nothing you can do without going to your local repair shop. Good luck and be more careful in the future by reading instructions more than twice :)

i hard bricked my w8 once..then i act stuopid in front of the retailer and he repaired it for free cause of warranty he changed the mother board..worth a try
[General Questions and Answers] amitzzxx:
right, ill try to act like stupid and i really hope they won't check my phone.

could they see any rom or there is actually no rom inside so they will never find it???
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
OK guys what your talking about is fraud and is not condoned on XDA. If you brick your device by Modding it that is on you and you should not try to get a warrenty replacement for it.

This is the reason you are advised to understand what you are doing BEFORE. You do it.

Hi I found an new ROM by genokolar here sourceforge.net/projects/genoandroid/files

The file is

20120107-cm-7.1.0-u8800-Geno-en.zip

Have anyone tried it?:)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] afigienas:
i haven't but thanks for link. But 2012-01-04 version is bad.. battery life is VERY BAD... with older kernel overnight i was losing about 2% of battery, with 2012-01-04 - 22%

EDIT: I just tested this version and i don't see nothing new.. sound calling quality still garbage.. Video recording works, but sound is ****. bitrate we can make better with xml file, i know, but there is some other sound noices.

Includes Market.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] data55:
For some reason I cant install this rom. I boot in to CWM 5.0.2.7 and wipe data. Then when I start install it says:

Finding update package

Opening update package

And after that the screen flash one time and I am back in CWM main screen.

I have checked MD5 for both recovery.img and the zip file.:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Maksimitoisto:
Try the:

1. boot recovery option from advanced settings

2. then factory reset, clear caches/dalvic

3. boot recovery again

4. and then try to install.

Worked for me to the same problem.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] exxxplorer:
this version for 2.3.5 official update. if you are still on 2.2 it doesnt work
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] markj11:
Genolokars Roms 2.35 kernels...

I have tried both the 7/1/12 rom and the 22/11/11 rom for the u8800

The 22/11 version has good call quality, but has poor speaker quality and cannot record video (it just freezes) - this is the rom i use now.

the 7/1 version can record video, but has bad call quality and speaker quality.

Both roms - after a little use - the rotation/proximity sensors stop working and only start working after a reboot.

The kernel in the 22/11 version seems to be geno#4 and in the later version geno#2 ?

I have enabled vsync which seems to help also.

On the plus side, they are by far the quickest and smoothest roms for the u8800, and trust me i have tried them all, everything seems to load very quickly and mp4 video playback is not corrupt as in previous cm7 roms. Hopefully they will be updated to remove the little bugs :o)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Maksimitoisto:
7/1 Version rotation works fine for me, haven't had problems since running rom for 50 hours.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrusc:
Hi,

I'll be getting my brand new Xoom Wifi (EU) next week. Now that there's an ICS rom with camera and hdmi, I want to upgrade to ICS. I have some experience with rooting/flashing the Hannspree Hannspad but just to be sure. The steps to go from stock to Team Eos Wifi Nightlie (wingray/MZ604):

- root

- install clockworkmod

- flash zip from sd

Is this correct ?

Thanks
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobileweasel:
I am about 90% sure that's correct. Not feeling to well right now and its been a while since I flashed from stock. I am sure someone will correct me if necessary.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerses:
Don't upgrade to any ics rom if you are planing to test drive or daily use the Xoom. You will not be able to play games that have 3d. Only native apps will work (some). I think its the build and not that its a new OS...but its a nightly so you can't complain. I'm going to relock my Xoom and wait for the official release. There is no real point in using a custom rom if you are at the newest OS and the horse power is great for gaming and working. There are plenty of apps that will give you customization without root. Overclocking is not that notorious but will drain the baterry faster so there is no gain. ICS looks awesome and devs are really genious but I think the rom will not be useful until the official update comes out.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrusc:
I'm coming from the Hannspree Hannspad and on that tablet I've used all kinds of roms (different Honeycomb flavors). I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. From what I've read in the forums the current build is a fully functional ICS rom. Can someone shed a light on this ?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerses:
Games or apps that require 3d doesn't work. Even soul craft that is a ics compatible game. So its not ics ...its the rom. I'm not complaining its a nightly but people saying its a functional build...well it is if you stay with the stock apps and native made apps. But for me its not. List of apps that doesn't work that I use. AutoCAD,Photoshop, gta3 , every gameloft , dead space.... some other apps work but sometimes fc or refuse to open and have to reboot. Some will say its not the rom but devs not upgrading theyr apps for ics but I have seen games working and then not in every ics build. So there's that.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnia1994:
Most of the application works. gameloft's game is not working currently.

I m nw on teameos aosp build29 n i m very satisfy with this rom. It is extremely smooth n fast. camera is working now too.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Actually the nightly builds are quite functional for daily drivers. It depends on what you do with your Xoom. I'm not that much of a gamer, so I don't care much about that. Photoshop Touch works fine, but can't connect with Creative cloud (at least a few builds ago when I tried), most everything else works fine. Not all apps have made the changes needed for compatibility with ICS yet, so not really an Eos ICS Nightly problem.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piotrusc:
All went smooth. Running ICS now! Heaven. Thanks a lot!

Edit: should cifs work out of the box? Using cifs manager but cannot mount shares

Edit 2: When upgrading to a new nightly: just wipe cache & flash zip ? (sorry can't post in the correct forum yet).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Am able to see and add folders to what I'll call the root drive (little phone icon as seen via ES File Explorer). I have been assuming this is the 11GB freed up by rooting device.

Anyway, I added three NEW folders for my stuff (music, documents and videos). Was able to copy over files. But, when I booted up, they were gone. vanished!

Whats up?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Lacokako:
I think the 11GB are in /data/app thats where all the apps you download are installed :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
OK, but is that where all the additional free space lies from rooting it and where I should put all my stuff?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cfoesch:
Anything under the /data directory is the ~12GB and that is where you should be putting your stuff.

If you're putting your stuff under just / then it will be lost at every reboot, as it is a ramdisk.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Very much appreciated and explains why the folders I created there disappeared twice. Do I have to put everything into the 1GB space first, then move it over or is there a way to get "direct access" to it?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
Help me with what "adb push" means - noob here
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
Android Debug Bridge has a command that allows you to move data from your PC to the device.

The command is "adb push [local file name] [destination file path]"

Ex. ADB push smokegetsinyoureyes.avi /data/media/smokegetsinyoureyes.avi

Also, before the transfer, you'll need to change the permissions for /data/

Swyped from my B&N Tablet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] wedmiston:
sorry - but where do access the place to put in this command? Are you referring to DOS?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] travisn000:
..it sounds like you are on windows..

You have to have the Android SDK installed ( or at least have the adb binary), correct drivers, and adb connecting to your nook tab.

details here and here (link from the FAQ thread)

then try the following commands in your "dos" window (winkey+R, followed by cmd to launch it)

adb devices (should show s/n if nook tab connected to adb)

adb remount (should remount filesystems writeable)

adb push commands as described above... perhaps some windows / dos scripter has a bat file or a quick one-liner to push all files in a given directory to a defined location ???

General SD card problems

If your getting general slow SD card, issues with content on there being read, backup the importent stuff like photos etc and format SD card, seems the old android files on SD card may be messing things up. thanks orihuri for the tip.

If this didnt help and your still having prolems with slow SD card speeds download sd booster from the market and set the cache to 3000+ thanks to lws803 for the tip.

Did this both.. but still very slow sd card if I copy files

from pc -> sd = slow

from sd -> pc = normal

suggestions ?
[HTC Sensation] Moh Moh:
Could you specify what "slow" and "normal" translate to in mb/s? :)

And what ROM are you using? Perhaps the problem lies there.
[HTC Sensation] moviewatch:
I use always android revolution hd, I had 4.1.x and the speed was ok.

I upgraded to ics 5.0.1.. at that moment I had problems with the sd-card

Now I use ics 4.0.3 --> android revo hd 6.0.

I did format sd card, and boost sd card but not helped.

slow = under 300kb/s

normal = 6mb/s +

So copying from pc --> sd is very very slow 300kb/s and lower.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Don't use the phones connection to transfer stuff then, use an sdcard adaptor and problem is fixed. It's something some user experience on ICS ROM's

You can try using cpu tuner to increase your sd cache size.....its set at a default of 512 on ics roms. I increased mine to 2048 and the write and read speed increased a ton.

It depends on what class is your card. if class 2 and/or 4 it's slow. I have class 6 and is fast ...

There is, I believe, a problem with the firmware on my Samsung Infuse phone that causes programs that have been installed, uninstalled, and installed again to be unable to save settings associated with the program. Is there a way to fix this without resorting to a hard reset? A hard reset is really a lot of work! Surely there is some way to fix this issue!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
If you have root, get the app "SD Maid" and use the corpse cleaner feature BEFORE reinstalling the app again.

This is most likely caused by settings files not removed on uninstall.

When you reinstall the settings are still there, but the new app no longer has the correct permissions to delete or change the old settings.
