[Atrix 4G General] hugh jass:
Hey everyone. I just got an Atrix from a buddy and did the bootloader unlock. Will ATT recognized that I have a smartphone now that its rooted? I have a plan now that has the non-smartphone unlimited data and dont want to lose it. So is there a way to hide the fact that I have a smartphone? Is it an app or something I need?
[Atrix 4G General] hugh jass:
Anybody have a serious answer?
[Atrix 4G General] rjohnstone:
Yes, AT&T will know.

Your phone's IMEI number tells them what phone you have.

And no, you cannot legally change that number.
[Atrix 4G General] stewartsoda:
THIS.

I can confirm that T-Mobile and ATT both know what phone you have from your IMEI. And not just phone model, but the specific phone you have. The IMEI is like a serial number.

Also, who knows what kind of monitoring software Moto put on the phone. I know I saw someone in the Motorola Owners Forum who was getting some help from Moto on a particular issue. They were able to tell what version of software they had on it and everything, although I think this is limited to Moto builds.
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
True, AT&T can tell exactly what phone you have by the IMEI number, but only for phones they have in their system. So, if you bought an unlocked smartphone that was not intended for release on AT&T, then you should be able to tell them whatever you want.

Just a note though, I'm going solely on personal experience. And I also believe that it wouldn't work out for long as smartphones and feature phones access/use data differently. But I did have a N1 and HTC Legend, both times AT&T had no idea what phone I was using even after telling them the IMEI#. Of course, the system they use could be more sophisticated now too, so who knows.
[Atrix 4G General] hugh jass:
Thanks guys. I guess as soon as I put my sim in they will know its an atrix and upgraded (downgrade!) my plan from unlimited tothe "pay as you surf" plan? I remember back in the day when I jailbroke and unlocked an old 2g iphone they had no clue it was an iphone(piece of crap which I hated) somehow. So I guess theres no way around this?
[Atrix 4G General] ar31791:
Rooting and unlocking wont really effect the ability to identify the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] biggins1870:
Since your current plan was an unlimited plan (although a non-smartphone one) you may be able to get them to grandfather you into the unlimited smartphone plan instead of the tiered data plan. Never hurts to ask.
[Atrix 4G General] syxxfiggaz:
I think they keep track of the 4g phones more than others.

I got the $10 data smartphone plan in 2008 and went through (purchased separately)

htc touch dual, htc fuze, lg expo, xperia x10 and my plan never changed.

As soon as I put a sim card in my atrix (7/2011), the next day i got a text that my plan was changed to a 2gb
[Atrix 4G General] baumerman:
I used a Rogers HTC Dream (G1 that gets 3G on AT&T) and never had a problem. I upgraded to the Nexus One when it came out and used it about 6 months on the $10 data plan. I received a message from AT&T over the summer of 2010 then saying that I had added the $30/month unlimited package.

AT&T never even sold the Nexus One (purchased it directly from Google) and they still applied it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheetohz:
Both my downloads and updates are giving me this same error

"Insert app name here" could not be downloaded due to an error. (-101)

Rebooted phone, tried again, cleared cache, tried again, uninstalled updates, tried again.

At one point I hopped online to visit the market from my browser, didn't list the device under the account as it has before.

Anyone seen this issue before and/or have a fix?

Stock VZW nexus, 4.0.2, not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I would try to install the latest market.apk yourself. You can download it on here just search. That might sort it. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheetohz:
Tried that, the latest apk was 4.3.3 which is stock.

Anyways found the fix if someone else stumbled upon this in the future, go to accounts and sync, remove account and re add it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eenmijay:
I was having the same issue on my Galaxy Nexus. Thanks for the suggestion. It worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cheetohz:
Sorry to hear you had the same issue but glad we found a way to fix it after it has already occurred. I am no genius, hopefully someone can find a cause so nobody in the future has to deal with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] betcmrekoapl:
I just can't handle it anymore! What on earth is wrong with so many people that they speak so lowly of the gnex camera?! Its the best camera I've ever used phone or standalone. I'm sure some photo snobs are going to try and correct me here but I'm just not convinced. People talk about it like its absolute trash and useless at taking pictures!! Can I really be the only one who thinks the camera is pretty awesome? No lag, great auto focus, super bright flash, auto enhance colors for that nice professional Photoshop kinda look that I think is gorgeous. But then again what do I know, I'm just a fool who thinks 5megapixels is plenty
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstang2006:
Totally agree :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spewy1:
The more read abot the camera and the more exampe I see te more I think some units have faulty lenses.

Some people try to blame the operator but I really do know how to take a phote (focusing and lighting etc) But my GN produces poor pics 70% of the time and average the rest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
its because this camera works two ways, and one of those ways isn't good quality.

regular auto focus with the button takes superb pics. but touch to focus is broken and bad.

i think everyong just uses touch to focus and didnt realize the regular old focus method exists, and not only exists but quality is great. that's why there are many excellent pics in the forum, mixed in with horrible pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
I find the camera to be acceptable. I came from an iPhone 4, then went to the International Galaxy S II and they both had fantastic cameras.

I personally feel the GN's camera is a step backwards but it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
Good thing you made a thread about camera threads then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fliint:
Don't know what's wrong with the camera o.0 is good enough for me. I bet who ever saying its bad thought it was supposed to be for Professional Photography o.0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
The image quality on this camera fails even compared to phones that are 1+ years old. Stop bring up dslr's or professional photography....we ARE NOT talking about that. We are talking about in comparison to other high end smartphones.

The image quality on this phone is probably the worst I've ever seen on any of the smartphones I've owned. Terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fliint:
Is the first post talking about comparing to another smartphone? Cool cus that's who I replied to:what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dinan:
Whether or not you can take good pictures is how YOU are able to use it. People are complaining about the physical sensor which is:

1) lower resolution than most phones these days

2) less sensitive (it's the same sensor that was on the Nexus ONE and Nexus S)

So whether people CAN take good pictures is not the issue, but the hardware potential which is seriously limited compared to other phones today.

The instant shutter is software. Given enough memory bandwidth you could easily have instant shutter 8mp+ pictures, it's not exclusive to this 5mp sensor.

Post-processing like "auto enhance" is also software which has nothing to do with their choice of sensor - it'll work on any picture regardless.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjohnk11:
Completely wrong. In fact touch to focus is the only way I can get it to focus before hand (where the focus box turns green). Otherwise it has to focus then take the picture. It does very little different as far as the shutter or software is concerned. Pics turn out the exact same if using touch to focus or auto focus.

The only difference I noticed is that it defaults the flash on so naturally shifts the EV balance way down, so be sure to leave flash off.

Please don't spread misinformation like this. EVERY camera phone I've compared this phone to it either meets or exceeds. That includes the Droid X, OG Droid, Droid Pro, Galaxy S, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Misinformation? The camera on this phone is terrible, and that's a fact. Whether it's software or hardware, the image quality is absolutely terrible.

Some of you are in serious denial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exceleth:
Oh darn I feel great about taking amazing photos with my SGN. Either my expecations are low, or my phone is exclusive (so I am very lucky), or your phones are defected (So I am very lucky too :) ), there is no way those photos I took are even close to terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exceleth:
Is that a terrible photo really? I just took it in a dark condition, with phones own flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjohnk11:
I am not in denial, I know how to take pictures and how to post process pictures. I have worked extensively with professional photographers. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to pictures and cameras, so please don't try to spread information that I along with others know to be false.

This camera is overall pretty good, obviously you have a defective unit or (the more likely scenario) you just do not know what you are doing. Especially if you are stating that cameras from a year ago are better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Right, I don't know what I'm doing. Typical response from someone who thinks the camera is good.

Like I said in another thread, I own two DSLR's and a point and shoot. I've been into photography for over 10 years. But yeah, I don't know how to operate a simple cell phone camera. Gotcha.

The camera is not overall pretty good. Obviously when thousands of people and practically EVERY SINGLE review out there for the Nexus bash the camera, there is something wrong.

It's one of the worst cameras I have ever used on a cell phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayharper08:
Sorry OP, but I've seen enough of these threads, and there are still plenty of them to have this discussion. This is just going to turn into another argument thread for users.

Can someone explain to me what are the differences between all the governors in cyanogenmod 7? Which one do you use and which is by your opinion the best for best performance?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] madman:
1.Google for android governors

2.read info on them

3.check which one suits you

4.Apply

governor is personal choice thats why you have options
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
1. Governors are dependent on kernels, not ROMs. Here is a short, but solid explanation about the most famous governors:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843406

2. I'm using the interactiveX and smartass governors (I switch frequently).

As explained above, the best for performance has to be the performance governor. But it's also the lousiest for battery life (sometimes 50% or more decrease compared to other governors).

Hello all,

Today I was excited to find a cable that I'd ordered last week from Hong Kong on ebay had arrived.

Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable Adapter HDTV For Samsung Galaxy S2

Well if it works on the S2 then it probably works on the Note. Well I plugged an HDMI cable into my Dell 1920 x 1200 monitor, that cable into the adapter and then a micro USB power cable into the micro USB power socket of the device.

Doesn't work :(

Hmm. Its a pretty simple device. Well I tried swapping micro USB cables in case it works differently with MHL or non MHL cables. Still does nothing. Damn.

Maybe it requires particular software to drive the video. Well no joy yet. If anyone has some suggestions then I'm happy to hear them. It was pretty cheap. But I wish it worked...

In case you were thinking of getting one of these. Here is the one that I bought.

One of my most favorite apps for the SGA is NoLED (I also use this app on my Nexus S).

Essentially, this app lights up your screen when you have a missed call, message, email etc... Good for phones that have no led light for notifications.

I know you can simply BLN if you kernel supports it, but NoLED even works on Stock ROMS and can be themed.

The developer of that app deserves monies!

Can you guys tell me the Pros and Cons of Paoulo, Francisco, Fserve [.35 Kernel] in comparison to one another? Like what does it lacks and what does it have, how r they different. And which is the best kernel for adfads N2 CM7 ROM according to you? Also I tried goggling for Paoulo's kernel and Rome kernel but couldn't find them. It maybe cause I don't understand Italian. So can you also tell me exactly how to get them?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] santachaos:
Paolo - the great thing about it is the touchfix which is very good and not bad for scrolling, so good for gaming use.

Franco - the latest one is best for gaming use, but its not smooth. If you talk about previous versions, its have the best performance/battery life ratio.

Fserve - currently still in development, so we can't judge it yet.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Nands_Borges:
Theres Rome kernel too, that is based on Paolo but with some improvements.

But Rome has some wakelocks during and after use wi-fi.

Yes, it drains a lot of battery in WiFi. I'm using the 1.3.3 BFS V-Sync OFF with Oxygen 2.3.2 and the phone is really fast and smooth! No lag in 3D games, and without WiFi, the battery life is awesome (Governor LighassV2 OC 245/729)! Another bug that i found : doesn't work USB MASS but i don't know if is a rom related bug or kernel related but...BTW, fastest combination ever imho
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Bec de Xorbin:
Franco's kernel hands down. Paolo's (and possibly Rome's) kernel is just a ripoff from franco's kernel.

I hope fserve will eventually pick up franco's sources and improve it further.
