[HTC Desire S] NitroSvennen:
acutally i dont know if i have made a mistake now or if t doesnt matter...

i sit on a HTC Desire GSM and not a HTC Desire S... does it matter???

and i have tried the option when you are booting into the CWM recovery 2.7.0.5 and try to flash the zip file from there but nothing works... it just says when im opening the 4ext updater apk that "Im up to date"...

i have rom manager installed and 4ext recovery updater, maybe there is some complications with them both installed???

really need to get the 4ext recovery... since i dont like the CWM and since i need the 4ext to install sebastiaaans rom....

and one more thing: you said that i lately can upgrade to the touch version, am i able to do this with my phone? PVT-1 Ship S-ON BRAVO

thanks!
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
so why do you post it right here? I think in desire forums your chance too get a satisfying answer it's really higher. Btw I don't think that there is a really big difference, but who could tell you better than a desire (without s) owner?

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
Word of friendly advice : You shouldn't go around asking for help in forums for other devices as you may end up flashing something that could bugger up your phone... There is a HUGE difference between the Desire S and the Desire. Don't go by the similarity in their names... We're a very helpful bunch over here at the DS forums, but i would kindly request you to take this query to your own community which i'm sure will help you sort it out. (Or grab a Desire S and start roaming these lands!! :p) - just kidding.

Better still, why not PM madmaxx82 and ask the creator himself regarding 4EXT issues.
[HTC Desire S] NitroSvennen:
Actually i thought this was the Desire forum, my bad... and a mistake as i said in the last post :D

Enigma, yeah i know it´s not a good idea asking in the wrong forum, but you learn from your mistakes right ;) next i will pay a little more attention to what forum i post in!! :)

i think i should pm madmaxx as you said, maybe he can give some lovely answers!!
[HTC Desire S] jaydoubledub:
Thanks for this.

By the way, your signature is awesome. To be specific, that ant is awesome! haha! I want it!
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
It's all up for grabs man... you can have it if you want it. :)

[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I turn on my Galaxy today and suddenly my sim unlocked phone is simlocked again. WTF?

Samsung/Google put a damn remote control for network providers into Android.

Network providers can change our settings and override our own settings and who knows what else.

On my dumbphone and on my hsdpa modem the network is unable to override my settings like on Android.

If this kind of remote control would be inside Windows, there would be mass protests.

I think this is caused by a software like CarrierIQ

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CarrierIQ
[Galaxy S II General] Boeboe:
Yes, samsung is remotely changing your APN settings just to see how you will react. They noticed how annoyed you were, so they decided to simlock your phone again, that sure was hilarious, gave them a good laugh, so they tried it again the day after. They keep pictures of angry customers (ofcourse secretly taken with the cam on your phone) on their walls and throw darts at them. Wherever the dart lands, that customer will get a random new APN configured.

You are lucky though, samsung also changes your sms tone to fart sounds when you are not looking. Also, setting your alarm clock to 2 AM is one of their better random pranks, so be sure to check your alarm every night before you go to sleep.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
In the sticky thread of this forum:

"[SC-02C] Japan NTT DoCoMo Galaxy S II Users"

I quote what they write:

"Its suspected that turning the built-in tether feature switches you invisibly to a different APN which generates an increase on the bill."
[Galaxy S II General] Boeboe:
Yeah, so samsung MUST be changing APN settings remotely. I told you they were pranksters :)
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
Read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_IQ

Samsung is not a network operator.
[Galaxy S II General] Boeboe:
I'll see your carrier IQ and raise you Carrier IQ Detector.

Oh, you are not American? Only God knows why you mentioned Carrier IQ then ;)

Still, I thought Carrier IQ could only be used for stat collection, not for remotely changing random settings. Thanks for the info!

Also, yes, I am a complete noob at being a clown. If only I could learn from a clown master :)
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
About this software:

Apple, HTC and Samsung said the software was installed on their phones. Apple said it had quit supporting the application in iOS 5. Apple said it would scrub the software from phones in some future release. HTC said, it was required on its devices by a "number of U.S. carriers." Nokia and Research in Motion said it categorically was not authorized for their phones. However, this does not prevent mobile carriers from installing it after the phone is manufactured. According to the company's website the software is also installed on NEC mobile devices, and the company has a partnership with Vodafone Portugal.

On December 1, 2011, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile confirmed it was on their phones.

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CarrierIQ
[Galaxy S II General] kureke:
I readed wiki article mostly... So is there any cure against this? Some program or removal tool :)

I know that they collect some data information, but if they starting keylogging, then...
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
The network operators can change the settings of the OS.

I quote again from the other thread:

"Its suspected that turning the built-in tether feature switches you invisibly to a different APN which generates an increase on the bill."
[Galaxy S II General] v1c70r:
Activate wifi network and deactivate mobile network, edit your APN's and see if changes with your wifi network. If it does, you have a problem with the software of your mobile phone. If it doesn't call the ghost-buster!!
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
He wrote "invisibly".

Invisibly means that what you have set in your settings is irrelevant.
[Galaxy S II General] Boeboe:
He's talking about tethering.

When you tether, you lose wifi connectivity, because your phone needs to act as an AP.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
What you wrote is not related to what I am writing about.

I am writing about 3G network settings and network operator control over them.

Wifi and 3G are two different things.

APNs are set for 3G, not Wifi.

He writes that the 3G APN changes.

Nobody is writing about wifi losing connectivity, except you.
[Galaxy S II General] Bonestack:
How did you notice it changed the first time if it happened "invisibly", but can't see if it happens again on wifi?
[Galaxy S II General] Sesshou:
The reason for the argument is that your 1st post is somewhat misleading, how exactly they changed your apn settings? also why you bring up carrier iq? that software is for logging not remote controlling...
[Galaxy S II General] envioustitan08:
First HTC now Samsung? Really wtf :/
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I explain in more detail. There are two APNs on my network provider.

One has a network speed limitation, one does not have it.

I of course use the one without the speed limitation.

ONLY ON MY ANDROID PHONE (on my dumbphone and on my hsdpa modem this never happens), the network operator DISCONNECTs my connection with my APN, and the phone re-connects to hspa+ with the different APN. Invisibly means that the APN in my settings is the same I put, (the one without speed cap).

But I notice I am on the other APN, because I see the network disconnection and I notice the reconnection with speed limitation.

This speed limitation or speed cap is visible on my speed meter (netlimiter program).
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
As the other contributor explained:

"Its suspected that turning the built-in tether feature switches you invisibly to a different APN which generates an increase on the bill."

He notices it from the increase in the phone bill.

I notice it from the disconnection of my hspa+ connection and the re-connection with the APN with speed limitation. I can see the speed limitation clearly on my program "netlimiter".

And, this never happens on my dumbphone and on my hsdpa modem, only on Android.

I bring up carrieriq because it is an example of a program the network providers put on android to do stuff without our approval.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CarrierIQ

"On December 1, 2011, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile confirmed it was on their phones."

"Sprint said, "We collect enough information to understand the customer experience with devices on our network and how to address any connection problems" ... "The information collected is not sold and we don't provide a direct feed of this data to anyone outside of Sprint.""

"Apple, HTC and Samsung said the software was installed on their phones. "

"Apple said it had quit supporting the application in iOS 5. "

"Nokia and Research in Motion said it categorically was not authorized for their phones. However, this does not prevent mobile carriers from installing it after the phone is manufactured."

"According to the company's website the software is also installed on NEC mobile devices, and the company has a partnership with Vodafone Portugal."
[Galaxy S II General] srikanth.naidu:
Dude carrier IQ aint gonna change sh*t on your phone besides your not even in the US ... If your worried so much install CM 7 which is cq free and check !
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
"According to the company's website the software is also installed on NEC mobile devices, and the company has a partnership with Vodafone Portugal."

CarrierIq is a real, existing, proven, network operator trojan installed on Android.

Nobody except CarrierIq knows what the application really does or did in its previous versions.

Not only CarrierIq is able to develop and distribute a network operator trojan on Android.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
get it through your thick head that its not Samsung/Google playing big brother as you claim.

Its your CARRIER. This thread is useless as you are barking up the wrong tree.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Alright lets say the cq is on all mobiles worldwide then go and install cm or miui these do not have cq besides try vodoo detector or any of those cq detectors to check for cq or such programs and then make your decision and as the above comment said its your carrier thats the culprit not sammy or google .... seriously what is the benefit sammy or carrier could get by switching your apn .... think ???
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
Android is a Google OS.

Galaxy is Samsung Hardware.

Samsung put a network carrier trojan into the Google OS.

Without the help and approval of Samsung and Google, nothing of this would happen on Samsung Hardware with a Google OS.
[Galaxy S II General] ste1164:
It's the carrier the same thing can happen to iPhones & probably other phones on networks.
[Galaxy S II General] :
ah alright i'm done ....

let me know when you file class action suite against google or sammy on this or if there is any thing else of the same level in your country ;)
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
It could easily be that the carrier detects your phone IMEI, checks you are not subscribed to high speed plan and limits your data. You are the only one with this problem so most likely the fault is at you end. Either with your device or with your carrier.

Why don't you install AOSP based ROMS and check if same thing happens.
[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:
Carriers take samsung's roms. They brand them and install bloatware before distributing branded Galaxys. Not samsung!
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
CQ detectors find some versions of CQ.

The carrier changes your APN to make more money.

They change the APN in Japan for charging you for tethering.

They change it to me to enable a network speed cap so i consume less bandwidth.

It is Sammy putting a carrier trojan on a Google OS.

Without the cooperation of Samsung and Google this would not happen.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I quote:

"Apple said it had quit supporting the application in iOS 5."

So obviously, OS providers have an influence on this.
[Galaxy S II General] Warren.D:
Apple are control freaks... They'd have to bake in CQ as the iOS is locked down. Where as Android is open source. Therefore its the carriers that ultimately decides what applications the phones are shipped with unless you get an international factory unlucked device.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
No.

Samsung took the carrier trojan and put in on my Samsung Galaxy when they put Google Android on my Samsung Galaxy, inside the Samsung production factory.

The Samsung Galaxy with the carrier trojan inside the Google OS comes to me with the intact Samsung seal on the Samsung Galaxy box.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I think all Android phones have this feature enabled, not only phones you buy from carriers (not only carrier branded phones).

My phone has a custom kernel based on samsung kernel source and a stock samsung firmware from samsung kies on it.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
I am not the only one with this problem.

Do I have to quote from the "[SC-02C] Japan NTT DoCoMo Galaxy S II Users" thread again?

All SC-02C owners have this problem.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
why did you start a new post then?

Only you guys would have that problem, and once again, samsung/google is not responsible for whatever app the carrier decides to install.

Nor are they responsible for your carrier settings or network restrictions.

Just like they are not responsible for whatever you like to install on your phone! if your network provider is slow, it ain't samsung/google's fault either. If your kid is stupid, its not the teachers fault etc..

HINT: Don't ever buy a phone specific from a carrier and/or only get the nexus.

Stupidity has no bounds, it doesn't make you right if you just keep pointing fingers.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
Nobody noticed CarrierIQ in the source.

It is not in the source.

Also Samsung and Google have control on what gets installed on their Hardware and OS, not only Apple.
[Galaxy S II General] s2d4:
there is your answer, its not part of google.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
Samsung and Google are responsible for a carrier trojan installed on their hardware/software.

But the existence of the carrier trojan is the problem, not who put it there.

I think the nexus from google does have carrieriq or a variant of carrieriq in some national versions.
[Galaxy S II General] MistaBishi:
This thread is so entertaining. Please, keep going.

You obviously have no idea about how the manufacturing process works. Why would Samsung put the software on our devices unless the Carrier wants it? The carrier chooses what software goes on the device, not Samsung. Samsung simply load it onto the devices and ship it out.

My GSII on stock firmware didn't have CarrierIQ, because it isn't a carrier varient of firmware.

My 2 cents.
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
The existence of the carrier trojan is the problem, not who put it there.
[Galaxy S II General] blazk:
can someone explain what is troyan??

this dude mentioned it time and time again it is in his device but from what I googled it is some town in bulgaria.

so, what is troj... i mean troyan?
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
Of course Samsung put the carrier trojan on the device because the carrier wants it there.

Putting stock roms on the device does not remove this trojan.

I quote:

"Apple, HTC and Samsung said the software was installed on their phones."

"On their phones", not "on their carrier branded phones".
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
You really have no idea how open source works do you ? Once Google releases sources its no more Google's os. Anyone can download and change whatever **** pleases them.Install CM and be happy
[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:

[Galaxy S II General] legion1911:
No.

It only happens on Android.

On my non-Android Sony-Ericsson and on my Huawei hsdpa modem the network has no control on the settings.

If you can't found Kindle in HP App Catalog this thread is exactly for you.

Beta

1. You need to turn on developer mode (write

webos20090606

in Just type, and move the Developer Mode slider to the On position, the password can be empty)

2. Install novacom (in attachmend you can found x64 windows version).

3. Plug the device into the computer via the USB cable, and just close out the USB storage mode thing.

4. Use WebOSQuickInstall to install app. Press '+' and add ipk file (you need to found 'com.palm.app.kindle_0.10.494660_all.ipk' with google). Then press install.

5. You should have Kindle in your apps ;)

I cannot be held liable for any loss of data, damage, bricking, or other malfunctions of the device.

If you have some questions or problems write in this thread.
[TouchPad Themes and Apps] Capt.Insano:
If like me you no longer have novacom or WebOSQuickInstall still on your PC you could to the following:

Instead of using WebOSQuickInstall you could also just copy "com.palm.app.kindle_0.10.494660_all.ipk" to your TouchPad via USB and install the ipk on the Touchpad using InternalzPro and Preware.

Great guide either way!

[General Questions and Answers] MrHadrov:
Hey guys. I want to go ahead and start the process of rooting my HTC Wildfire, but the problem is, the current Revolutionary build supports only the 1.01.0001 HBOOT version. Mine is (you guessed it) 1.01.0002.

Luckily, HTCDev.com has finally launched their Bootloader unlock process that seems to be considerably easier than using GoldCard (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145035).

Problem is, when I get down to the RUU download list on the first page of instructions, my carrier isn't there (I currently live in Malaysia and use Maxis). There is, however, an HTC WWE RUU at the bottom available for download.

A little help guys, cause I'm VERY new to this all and would REALLY love some help on what to do from the most badass Android community on the net.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Hey guys after having some bad luck with the wet screen protectors I am looking for the best dry screen protector to get. Anyone have any ideas? One that would prevent fingerprints would be the best. I have a GSM nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siphyn:
Sgp Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic. You can them on amazon for roughly $14 for a two pack.

Beamed from my SCH-i515
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Thanks mate but they aren't dry ones. I don't want any solution to use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anoir0714:
Sgp Steinheil Ultra Oleophobic is dry one.

Sgp Steinheil Flex is wet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisexv6:
Also look into Boxwave.

The Steinheil Ultra Oleo isnt edge to edge....the Boxwave says it is but I read of a couple people having problems getting it to stick on the outer edges of the screen. Boxwave support says after a few days it should conform and stick just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IntenseImage:
Honestly, the ones from VZW arent bad at all ... no orange peel, little to no added "drag" on your fingers, and covers all but a very tiny edge around the entire glass (may actually be good if you run a case)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [IO]ERROR:
The ones at Verizon suck IMHO. I picked up a 3 pack for my girlfriends GN and the first one the clerk put on and had a fiber under it. So when I got home I took that one off and put on another. Well that one had a fiber in it too. The third one worked ok but I was disappointed I had to use 3 of them to get it right because they came with fibers in them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IntenseImage:
I highly doubt they had fibers in them straight from the box ... this is why everyone recommends doing the install in the bathroom after you have steamed it up with the shower to knock the dust out of the air.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
Please don't throw away the screen protector just because of a piece of fiber/lint underneath of it. Just juse a piece of tape and stick it to the outer side of the screen protector to "peel" that part up, and then use another piece of tape to "pull" that lint out.

I still like the Verizon "clear" screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [IO]ERROR:
Well considering the clerk did one at the Verizon store and a fiber was on it and I did one at my house on my dinning room table and had one. I can only guess they were there from the factory. Same white fiber on both. And both times the phone was wiped down with a clothe and then used canned air to blow it off. Nothing was on the screen before I tried to put the protector off.

I tried using tape but no go and at one point I managed to scratch the protector with my nail trying to pick it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IntenseImage:
The phone can be spotless -- its the dust in the air that ends up sticking to the protector before you get it seated on the glass
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cornelious1212:
I have always used Boxwave for my previous phones. I just installed the Boxwave for GN, and I must say I am disappointed. Reaches further to the edges than the Verizon clear, but as stated above, the edges do not stick. It has only been one day, but it doesn't seem like they are going to magically stick in a few days. We shall see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greensnow:
I'm reading on amazon that this one covers the FFC...does this make any noticeable difference?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaetawoo:
The guy who makes Diztronic TPU cases sends a screen protector with his cases. They are great! Cover edge to edge in all directions. Better than verizon ones but still susceptable to fingerprints and grease, not oleo-phobic.

also.. at the edges, since the glass is curved down, it doesn't contact. not a big deal for me. i have a case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] southeastbeast:
Yeah Verizon NON-matte ones are best. I removed dust with the tape trick. These are static cling so u can pull it off and clean it up and stick it. Once its on its on there good. I can only tell around the ffc that there is a protector. The gel case I got covers the gaps perfectly if u align the screen protector on right. All accessories free with my Microsoft discount and these are the best accessories imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MaelstromXC:
No, not at all. (unless you have oil on the screen protector, but then you can just wipe it)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Phazenine-:
The standard crystal screen protectors that are all over ebay for around 8 for $3.50
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedmec:
Had a boxwave the edges did not stick as others have said replaced with sgp oleophobic it is better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rilasis:
Well I decided to get the newest Diztronic TPU rev 3 case and it's pretty nice but the screen protector that came with it is complete dog****. Attracts a TON of lint, had lots of bubbles under the screen despite putting it on quickly in a steamy room, doesn't contact the screen at the top OR the bottom and leaves smudges all over it. Worst screen protector ever.
