Anyone know how to turn off the damage annoying sent message alert for texting or wutever...im sure its not rom related but if it is. Im on holiraider any help would be appreciated
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] travisxcore:
Open up the Messaging app, hit the menu button, go to notifications.

I thought it was pretty obvious it'd be there but with how many times its been asked I might add it to the GKT...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] greypimps:
See the problem is i dont want an alert that i sent a message successfully..even with the sent message uncheck, i still get alert that i sent a message successfully.

What does google have against rooted phones? I tried and found out the hard way that the market will tell you a movie can't be played on a rooted device. Knowing this now, what do you all use to find and watch movies or tv shows on the sensation?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
It's not Google, it's a stipulation in the licensing deal in order for google to be able to do the movie service. It's the movie studios worried about pirating.

[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I guess I can understand that, but I ended up watching a movie on my laptop and the quality is terrible, definitely not buying any content through the market again.
[HTC Sensation] fmedrano1977:
MOD EDIT: no you wont
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Yeah its the studios who required rooted devices blocked.
[HTC Sensation] chrolmesq:
You said it

There's a reason Android is open source, so people can customize, tweak and do anything they want with it. Why do you think there's so many root required apps? But I digress.

If movie studios are going to make me choose between watching the garbage they put out and call entertainment and having a fully customized rooted phone....the movie studios are going to be severely disappointed with my decision.

Google don't hate rooted devices. It's the movie studios.

It's the OEMs who hate rooted devices.

Rooted KF, I want to setup contacts to sync with google using the contact sync adapter. I read that the contacts should be cleared out first so they don't duplicate with google. Is there an easy way to delete all the contacts? I tried deleting contacts cache and data and that didn't work.

THANKS
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
Nevermind, I am good... :) I did a little trick, when started the contacts on the kf syncing with google contacts I did get the duplicates in GC. Then I accessed GC over the web and did a restore to an hour ago, when the kf synched again the duplicates are all gone.

Hi,

So ~3 weeks ago I got my HTC Sensation XE, eveything has been working flawlessly up until last week.

Issue:

When I start playing video on YouTube App. ( latest version ), it lags for 2-3 seconds, then the next 2-3 seconds are played in slight fast forward and so rinse and repeat. For some videos it's much more distinctive, for some - barely noticeable. This issue causes sound to be desynced as well, for a brief period.

I did factory data reset and nothing changed ( well obviously.. ) except that the preinstalled/default YouTube App. has a different issue. Video playback is fine and such, but it starts lagging whenever I bring up the timeline bar and does not stop unless it disappears.

I did notice that phone has been responding in a sluggish way as well. For example, it sometimes lags when scrolling a list in an App ( Market, etc. ) or just scrolling a change log text ( not that huge ) for an App; thing is - about 80% of the scroll..it scrolls like a slideshow and sometimes it just scrolls flawlessly. You might say that problem is in loading the lists/videos..., however I think that's not the case because the videos are cached fine, signal strength is good. I did test for these issues on different WiFi's and 3G, however, to no avail.

Warranty "Service" + Test

Questions:

1. Are these Software or Hardware issues? How do I exactly tell that?

2. Since I am seriously concering ROOTing the phone and flashing with CM if the issue is software based, what are main tips to search for? ( What causes bricking of the phone/how to avoid that... etc. )

3. Can any of you give a quick rundown of these terms and how do they differ?

ROM - that's Android OS 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) ... ICS etc., right?

Firmware - ???

Kernel - Hardware level controller??

Baseband - Radio ( WiFi/3G/GSM ?? )

and some more off from "About phone"

- what is Software number?

- what is build version?

- what is Browser version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PsyCl0ne:
Hi everyone, so the other day I flashed the latest sky ice cream (6. 7z) with the latest faux (skyrocket) kernel. Then I noticed that my phones battery was dieing at an alarming rate. (this is also after a ton of issues came up with my phone). Last night I did a nabdroid restore to when I first rooted the phone so stock kernel and stock rom and everything was working great, although I didn't spend enough time to see if the phone was acting up but in setcpu, I did notice the fact that the phone did enter deep sleep.

I am now running red Sonia and yes I did flash fauxs ultimate kernel and now for the hours that I've had it disconnected, the entire time that I haven't been playing with it, the phone has been running at 300MHz.

I'm not at home currently but is there some way that I could diagnose what's going on in terminal? Or some type of logging I could run to see what's running my phone into the ground??

Any way thanks in advance for reading this, and I hope this issue can be resolved.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
I'm thinking one will be started soon based on I believe that it's a breach of contact based on the termed "Unlimited" Data.

If you look up Unlimited you get the following definition.

1: lacking any controls : unrestricted <unlimited access>

2: boundless, infinite <unlimited possibilities>

3: not bounded by exceptions : undefined

So by AT&T controlling just Unlimited data users rate speeds, seems like a breach of contract. Anyone care to give some insight?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
there was petition and i have thread somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blackraven1425:
Look up all of the terms of the contract. The dictionary definition is completely irrelevant when talking in legal terms, where any word can be defined far differently than it seems to be in the real world. Unlimited probably comes with a whole slew of stipulations and limitations laid out in the contract, including throttling "to maintain quality of service for its customers". Unless you can find somewhere where they advertised and left out an asterisk and/or the fine print, you're boned.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Yup

I saw that, I signed it also. Sad thing is that it needs 20,000 people and I have number 120 something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dnwright:
Here's the thing, they aren't doing anything to your "unlimited" data. They are throttling your speed not your access to the data itself. According to them you can still use as much as you want it's just at a laughable speed. This is all done to, what they hope, make you switch to the 4 gb plan.

While what they as a company are doing to us with the unlimited plan is ridiculous and shouldn't be allowed, I'm not convinced anything can be done about it other then moving companies. I for one will be taking my internet plan to another provider.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Cyberguycpt:
Wow, so where are you going to jump ship to. All other carriers have the same plans as At&t. Oh, and if you thinking of going to Sprint I would not their internet speeds are the worst. Just out of curiousity how much is your unlimited data plan anyway?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
don't go to sprint. We still get better internet speed with different APN while throttle compare with sprint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dnwright:
the unlimited plan I signed up for was for the iphone at 30.00 per month. I get to keep that rate for an unlimited plan for the skyrocket.

And I did say internet service not phone service would be moved. I live in San Francisco so it's not like i don't have options for a new isp
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Same here, I have the $30.00 a month unlimited plan.

In the legal world, words are open to interpretation unless otherwise noted. So basically going to have to look back to the unlimited plan contract and see if they have anything about restricting speeds.

As far as them not doing anything to my unlimited plan they are. They are restricting me how I use it. Before there were no restrictions on how you use your unlimited plan, now they are restricting my speed to the point where its unusable. I went from downloading 20 + mbps to 0.12 mbps and I've tried switching to HSPA+ but can't seem to get it to work. I've tired about 5 different methods that are posted here and on goggle and nothing, phone wont get a connection.

Also they are only throttling a specific group of people. Now if they did this to every data plan then it would be a different story but since it's only grandfathered unlimited data users I'm sure that would help in the Suit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:

That protects them now, but I want to see my original contract from when I got my data plan back several years ago.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Oh I agree.. but...you renewed your contract just like I did and we became subject to those new terms. They also have a "right to change terms" in there somewhere...and it has been there for years. Unfortunately unlike credit cards, I don't think there is anything mandating they have to notify you of the changes.

At least with sprint we had the option to opt out without penalty if certain things were changed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justinfedor:
No breach of contract because you still have unlimited data. U signed a contract for unlim data usuage not speed. Take your little dictionary terms and shove em you know where. All these threads have on them anymore are people crying about data. Can you find something better to do with your lives? Probably not

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burhanistan:
While I agree with the petition and think that AT&T are being miserly with their usage caps, that kind of petition won't get you anywhere. Class action law suits need lawyers, consumer advocates, media savvy activists, and the like. You could have a million signers to some non-binding online petition and a judge wouldn't give a crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] demonwind:
A petition can help gauge interest before moving forward with a legal team, etc. I don't care much about the throttle issue but I'm definitely interested in joining a class action lawsuit against Samsung for the screen issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] M0D1441:
Join me in on that one, The screen line suck, badly. They need to recall or give us a longer return/exchange period, even better and more reasonable let us trade in for the Skyrocket HD. The enjoyment and eye candy of the SAMOLED is nearly ruined by the POS lines.

Verizon has not throttled their LTE so far. I'm a Verizon customer with grandfathered, unlimited data. I've used tons of data, dozens of gigs of data and have never been throttled at all and haven't heard of any other customers complaining of the same either.

I've heard that Verizon only throttles the 3G users and only during peak periods of congestion and will stop it when the congestion has eased off. Whereas ATT will keep throttling you until the end of your billing cycle.

I was on Iphone with unlimited plan. I just jumped to android for my birthday Dec 13. I received a text warning me I was approaching the top 5% of users on Jan 2. I called and they could not tell me how they determined the top 5% or how slow I would be going if I was throttled. They were not very helpful. What is the point of LTE if we are not allowed to use it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Its determine by how much you use data in your area. It only applies to LTE users and I was throttled to 0.13mbps when I was getting 20+ mbps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
You bring up some good points. I agree on the nation wide throttle and if they are going to throttle then it should be on all data plans not just LTE users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] planoman:
Everyone had to "agree" to their new terms. Whether you agree or sign a document, is immaterial, both are a contract. By definition this only affects at most the top 5% data users per market, so it has virtually no chance of succeeding in my opinion.

I suspect ATT is preempting abuse of their LTE network by aggressive monitoring. I suspect their biggest fear is unlimited plan members replacing their home internet with ATT which is really not practical, but some would try it. (I have seen thread stating this) Also data hogs that live their lives on the network doing who knows what, reducing access for others. I have not exceeded 2.5 GB on my LTE unlimited plan but there is wifi everywhere where I live, and I realize not everyone has that. I am sure many also have access to wifi and do not use it because LTE is faster and they have unlimited. There has to be a balance in my opinion.

Having said all of this, I think they should increase the limits before throttling to say 10- 15 GB and then only reduce your speed to HSPA when they do throttle. I was surprised they let us keep unlimited data when we all went to the LTE network, so maybe once the LTE network is more fully deployed, they will formalize their data monitoring and throttling policy.

Just my .02 cents. I wish those who are for this action, good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] epicstar1:
Class action lawsuit on the AT&T Data throttling itself is stupid since they have a right to legally throttle your data under reasonable conditions. However, what is not legal is throttling users that aren't the 5%.

I returned my i727 for the i777 for many reasons including the throttling. I only used 1 GB in my billing cycle, and during the billing cycle, I changed to the Skyrocket. 3 days later, instathrottle with the throttling text message 7 AM while sleeping (not using my phone...). I call up AT&T. They said they are having problems with the default i727 APN, and even told me I was not being throttled according to the bill. How is that possible when I only used 1 GB of data on the billing cycle, get only .10 Mbps d/ul, and got the text message saying I'm being throttled?

Nevertheless, the Phone APN did get my speeds to be normal again, but it really begs the question: why are they throttling users unfairly? They shouldn't be enforcing throttling when their system is still immature. So yeah, the class action lawsuit should be about throttling unfairly due to an immature infrastructure, and not the actual practice itself IMO.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
I was at 1.5 gigs when I got my first and only warning. When I hit 2 gigs, I got a message saying I'm being throttled. From reading what everyone's input, we should try to do the C.A.L. for throttling and if all else fails then for how they consider people being top 5% in their billing cycle when everyone has a different cycle. Also for how they only do it to LTE unlimited data users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
By the fact that switching to the "phone" apn eliminates the throttle my guess has been it is either built in to the apn or more likely there is something on the tower side of lte that allows them more control
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] n19htmare:
I've gotten warnings at around 1.35GB and throttles at 2GB.....

Hell if I'm gonna keep paying $30 a month for unlimited only to be throttled at 2GB, I might as well go for 3GB for $30. Damn, that's exactly what AT&T wanted us to do.

I'm just holding on to my Unlimited plan hoping that some law might change it.....

In light of the situation i experienced the same issue, which then forced me to scrap my at&t service and switch completely to Verizon, so this situation we all are having is not just for LTE customers though, its for everyone, e.g. LTE and 3G customers, i was driving home from nc a week b4 xmas week and i got the same exact text message and i had purchased an iPhone 4S when it was first released mind you, so i feel everyone's pain n anger on this subject. but in verizon's situation i might just be repeating what some have said about verizon and the peak times, but long story short ppl who are grandfathered into the unlimited data plan on verizon, are not guaranteed full speed all the time, so its also based on the tower you are using too as if there's alot of users on there they will be getting full speed and you will be getting throttled back some, its basically like being on cable internet, customers are on a hub, when there is too many users on this hub, the speed slows down due to congestion but this is exactly what i heard from a verizon rep though.
