This is because most tether apps don't allow our phones to run in infrastructure mode.... but this one does http://db.tt/Q6n9nOge. Go into settings and change first two settings... 1. Change to epic 4g. 2. Change to softap... there you go you should now be able to tether your kindle... I use this all the time to tether my ps3
[Epic 4G General] evilsock:
sweet, that answers that,

now can someone tell me how i can get youmail to work?
[Epic 4G General] samep:
Guess I'm still looking but here's a suggestion to try

My short answer is try "Call Control" from google Market; it's free, has no ads but may not be the best alternative. The rest is included to possibly help limit calls to Sprint and detail the apps I've tried, thus far. Suggestions are welcomed.

Looking for best alternative method, I tried blocking with Sprint 3 different ways (Sprint account, text to 9999 (BLOCK 9016), and two levels of Sprint support). Support says their call blocker is set up to block 5 or more digits which includes short codes, so I cannot use it to block 9016. Customer Service did note that my initial request did not set block 9016 as a short-code but setting made no difference for me.

Tried paid app (Call Guard); didn't work, got refund. Tried "Call Control": works right out of the box and has no ads! But free version keeps a log of blacklisted/refused calls with no option to disable log (Not sure about the paid version: 7.99 but it has a 14 day free trial). Apparently, someone already reported 9016 in the community black list. There is also a user blacklist to personalize. "Call Control" is a bit of a ram hog, it's claiming 13MB of my Ram, ATM.

Sprint couldn't get past the filter to reach me or leave a voicemail so I disabled the filters for community blacklist and unknown or anonymous callers, temporarily (still have 9016 blacklisted). I've sent a couple replies to Sprint asking that their call blocker accept 4 digit short-codes for blacklisting. Not sure if the 5-digit limitation applies to Sprint business phones?
[Epic 4G General] MajicManDroid:
I ended up downloading and installing SPC (https://market.android.com/details?...=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zdXBlcmRyb2lkLnNwYyJd). Doesn't look to be taking up much ram or battery. I run several widgets and got over 14 hours on battery today. That's with listening to google music to and from work and heavy use while at work.
[Epic 4G General] samep:
Thanks MajicManDroid, I saw that one mentioned in an earlier post, I'll keep that one in mind to try later. Glad to see you found a away. (Forums rules (low posts) required me to delete your quoted url in order to reply to quote.)

I did start the full trial on the "Call Control" app. I still cannot find a way to disable the block log 9016 entries but at least there is a "delete all" option. At one point I had to reboot phone because my calls were going to voice mail instead of ringing. Working correctly, ATM. I'm still on CM nightly #16.

Last night, I tried some antivirus apps but as others have said, they will disable VVM when blocking the 9016 text. Anyone found one or a method (would a script work?) that doesn't disable VVM? TIA!
[Epic 4G General] samep:
Searching the forums, some have had success with using Sprint's 9999 call-block to block 9016 texts while others have not. I now disagree with Support's answer above; I sent text "block 091", to which Sprint replied, "Sorry, the sender must be at least 4 characters long". Not 5 as I was told before; Block 9016 should be legit for all users.
[Epic 4G General] RyleyinSTL:
Thought I'd add my + 1 for Google Voice (I went the non integration route). It's powerful and simple at the same time. Gives you visual VM with the added bonus of being able to manage/save/delete/export messages on the computer as well. In addition to the application you can choose to have the VMs sent to you by email and/or text. The setup procedure eliminates the Sprint texts.

.... And those are just the VM advantages.
[Epic 4G General] stkiswr:
Google voice works great for me. I have used it on my ns4g and now my epic. Would like to turn off the text side off it but when I changed phones all my texts were backed up. they really don't matter to me as I save what I want. Other than that Google voice is great!
[Epic 4G General] jonnyseven:
I think SPC creators are dirty, dirty spammers...

So I switched over to CM7 (love it!) from one of the ACS roms, and quickly ran into the 9016 problem. The small and free Redlist isn't on the market anymore, so I downloaded SPC as some people have recommended.

Within a day, I started getting random spam MMS and Gmail Talk invites. Now, the phone is connected to an old Gmail account (more than seven years old now), and I have jealously guarded the address, giving it out only to close friends and family, never using it in commercial communications, forums, etc.

Up until this, I can count on a single hand the number of email spam that got through Google's normal filter, and I have never gotten a Talk invite from someone I didn't know. Now I have gotten several in a few days.

I have not given my address to anybody new, nor installed any new apps other than SPC in over a month. I suppose it is possible that a contact's email address book or some other relevant database could have been compromised, but that would be extremely coincidental. It is up to you to decide, but in my mind I have little doubt that the problem lies with SPC.

Let me also apologize for using a throwaway username to post this message. My normal username, along with the timing of this post, could be used by SPC to make a pretty good guess about the identity of the aforementioned account. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I think that spamming bastards are also likely to be vindictive bastards.

On the lighter side, I find it really funny that the Gmail Talk invites were all the type of spam that is like 'sexyjane@aol.com' or that sort of thing. SPC and these sort of apps heavily suggest (sometimes outright say) in their descriptions that they are intended for people who cheat on their SOs. I got a good chuckle imagining someone cheating, installing this app to cover their tracks, suddenly getting all sorts of invites like this, and freaking out! Ha! Serves them right, but I still hate you SPC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
After not having plugged my phone into Kies for ages, I plugged it in this evening and was greeted with a lovely "Updated Firmware available!" message. I unplugged my phone and did a backup with TitaniumBackup, and also backed up my SMS with SMS Backup & Restore, then plugged it back in (copied the backup folders to my desktop, just in case) and then let Kies update me from XXJPY to XXJVO.

Unfortunately, I forgot to remove the SpeedMod Froyo kernal and ext4 lagfix I was using, and when it got the Recovery Mode bit, there were a couple of errors, and then it got stuck in a boot loop. Booted into Recovery and tried the "Wipe /cache partition" option which didn't work, so eventually had to resort to the "Wipe data and factory restore" setting which worked.

That's the back story, now for the question:

I have a (more-or-less) freshly installed stock ROM and kernel and a TitaniumBackup folder on the internal SD. What do I have to do to get everything back to how it was, if possible (installed apps, save game states e.g. Angry Birds etc, LauncherPro Plus settings, wallpaper etc)?

Is it simply a case of flashing a rooted kernel, installing TitaniumBackup and running the restore function, or is there more to it then that? If it is that simple, which am bestest kernel these days, SpeedMod GB? I've heard Semaphore mentioned a few times. I found used to crash a lot using SpeedMod on Froyo (never got more than 120 hours uptime) so something nice and stable would be nice, with Voodoo Sound and Colour, and possibly OC/UV again

Any help would be greatly, hugely appreciated

Thanks, but I'm not really looking for a new ROM, just want to get all my apps and settings etc back to how it was before.

Just for extra clarification, when I did the TiBackup, I ran the "backup all apps + system data" batch job and unticked most of the apps that were red (system apps I think), but may have left one or two in, would these cause issues?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Yes, get root and run titanium backup restore. Don't restore system apps, as you've changed roms and this can cause problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdave196:
Flashed Semaphore kernel last night, rooted and restored from TitaniumBackup fine (getting a few force closes from some apps, but I'll work around that), and it's all back exactly how it was. Very happy :D

[HTC EVO 3D] kthejoker20:
I have been with sprint since 1999.

I am finally fed up with abysmally slow data speeds. .010 up and down. On my 3rd 4g phone and still no 4g, even paying the extra $10 a month for "premium" data. I think the $10 is just to make the little icon turn on on the phone, and thats it.

I was looking at verizon. Does anyone recommend any phones or plans?

I hear great things, except for the data cap.

But I am willing to suffer the data cap. Even though I have an unlimited data plan now, I still would be nice to have DATA.

Sprint needs to update their network from smoke signals to dial up speed. I hear thunderbolt is the phone to get? Is it rootable? Can you tether on verizon?
[HTC EVO 3D] edgie168:
yeah, like last year.

IF you're going to switch, get the Galaxy Nexus. otherwise.. you can wait for sprint's nexus.
[HTC EVO 3D] j76ms:
I am thinking of doing the exact same thing. Only problem I have is I am still in contract until the end of this year. I have a co-worker who owns the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it is VERY nice. I have also heard good things about the Moto Razr. Verizon is currently offering their doubling their caps on data. I think the 2gb is now 4gb until Jan. 15th but double check.

It is difficult to switch to Verizon because it costs around $40 more per month but I feel like I am paying $100 too much per month with Sprint. The data speeds are horrific. I get no more than 300kbps down and my co-worker gets 1.5meg on Verizon 3g and at LEAST 8megs on Verizon LTE. It is embarrassing and extremely annoying how slow my data is.

Anyway...good luck to you on your switch. I will make the switch at the end of this year.
[HTC EVO 3D] ktrotter11:
Switch if you need to switch, but before try asking some knowledgeable sprint employees about any planned network improvements in your area, because if you leave and then the forever promised upgrades start really happening you might be regretting your decision

But then again if you got the cake go head and switch
[HTC EVO 3D] j76ms:
How do you find someone knowledgeable at Sprint? I cannot find anyone dialing the customer service number and tech numbers that can give any definitive info on tower upgrades.

Trying not to be sarcastic. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Crackanug:
I switched one month ago to Verizon after being with Sprint for 9 years. Even though I have a data cap and my bill is about 30 bucks higher. I am so glad I did. I didn't realize how bad sprints data service was until switching. Sure the price is a bit higher, but I am ok with it since I actually have 4g.

I did go with the Thunderbolt even though in cell phone age it is old. The reason, because it is rootable. I had a hard time not going with the Rezound because it was pretty slick, but it's only temproot capable. If you couldn't tell, I prefer HTC...

Anyways, Verizon has a deal online you can get double the data for the same price. So I have 22 gigs of data to use. I live in the country and have no other source of highspeed internet than my phone. While using tethering, using my xbox360, youtube, and netflix I have only hit 12 gigs so far... Of course 8 gigs of that was in one weeks time.

If you don't want to sign up online. Go to a retail store and show them that you can get double data by buying online and they should be able to hook you up with the same deal. That is what I did without any problems. They even matched the price of the Thunderbolt to what it was going for online with contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
Hurry up and switch if you are... Verizon has 4gb of data for the same price until the 15th... just a suggestion.

[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
I switched to Verizon after having sprint for over 4 years. I got the galaxy nexus. There's a loophole to get unlimited data,but that might be closed. There's a thread in the rezound forums about it. I had originally got the 10 gig plan but got unlimited data using the loophole. With my discounts its actually cheaper than what I was paying on sprint and I actually have awesome data speeds on top of 4g.

i am currently on two lines one with sprint and the other with verizon.

[HTC EVO 3D] ekz13:
sad thing is, alot of people seem to be on the same line of thought, used to be that you could justify the crappy signal cause you were paying 50-75 less than any other carrier. Now they just keep closing that price gap making it harder to stay with it. Myself, I'm about ready to take my 4 lines to att or vzn. if I lower my minutes (which I never use) I can actually get it cheaper.

sad, paid for 4g never saw it..for either montgomery, ny, and now I'm near DC.. now lte pipedreams...

Dude. Make the switch. I always thought I couldn't justify paying more for less perks than I had with Sprint. The coverage and data speeds are worth every penny. To my surprise I actually pay less with my employer discounts. I had every intention to go into Verizon paying more though.

The difference is night and day.

[HTC EVO 3D] twin001:
I've been with Sprint for >10 years now, mainly because it was the best overall deal around. However, lately they have been getting rid of the perks that made them a better choice for me over Verizon or AT&T. I have been toying with the idea of moving my 3 lines over to Verizon, actually visited a Verizon store over the xmas break. Now I hear that Sprint is cancelling their employee discount on all lines except the primary line and that has done if for me. Feb 1 I am going to fight to get out of my contract based on the "adverse material change to my contract" and switch to Verizon. If Sprint is going to charge me as much as Verizon and AT&T then they need to provide the same level of service as the others. My 150kbs speeds are a joke, especially when I'm paying (and have been for going on 2 years now) a $10 surcharge for "premium data".

[HTC EVO 3D] ekz13:
i hear ya, but unlimited or not, i can adjust for the time being.. as for sprint, I battled with them once before on this, and it took 2 weeks for them to release me etf free.. then they fixed the issue (go figure) so trying to do the honest thing I called them up and had them reinstate me contract wise..

now I think it's time again and if I can get that done, prob going this time.. I've had enough. I'm thinking tmo with the throttled data would be best to avoid the overages (I have two teens)
[HTC EVO 3D] spencer88:
Well if you're thinking about going to Verizon, double data promotion ends in 3 days, it's now or never. 4 gigs of data goes a long way. I'm 17 days into my cycle and I've only used 1 gig of data, and I have unlimited.

Do it. If you call telesales and tell them of your woes and that switching hinges on unlimited data, theres a good chance you'll get it. They want your money and if you work at it, you'll get the unlimited, when switching. Probably a good idea to buy a nice phone from the person too.

I had a feeling that Titan II was going to come. But if the only difference is a 16meg cam and LTE it's not very exciting also since the battery is not replaceable. I dont know why people are so gun ho with having super internet speeds on a Phone. I'd be happy if they got 3G speeds (aka 4G on AT&T) working correctly.

I wonder when they where doing the show and tell at CES on the Titan II if the phone did a random power cycle like my Original Titan and the replacement Titan I have now. Ha!
[HTC Titan] link68759:
Seeing that the titan's speeds are definitely throttled, and 4G is really just H (or might as well be), trading up seems like a good idea. I have had good luck with my HTC batteries, so I'm not too worried about that. Got my titan in the penny sale, I no reason not to sell it and trade up.

Also, non removeable back means the antenna issues will be permanently solved, and I'm sure the titan II will get a fix for the noise cancellation before the titan :(
