[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lo-fi_engineer:
Success!

I swapped out the sim cards without formal activation earlier tonight...no dreaded "We noticed that you're using a smartphone..." text! (At least not yet). Packet data was enabled in the network settings--it seemed to have no effect. From as far as I can tell, the process involves the following...

I came from a grandfathered plan with a smartphone exclusion and data opt-out. I upgraded online and then called [enterprise] customer care and got both items added back along with getting my IMEI updated as available for the opt-out. That seems to be it. Nothing on the phone side. From what multiple tier 2 agents have told me, that will absolutely not work with an iPhone, but who cares about iPhones anyways:rolleyes:

I'm curious which combination of data block, smartphone exclusion, and IMEI database update are necessary to make that work for others in situations similar to mine (useless data network where I live/ commute). Will this work with a dumbphone and a data opt-out (block)? I don't know. Perhaps someone who's in a position to upgrade could try it. Using a 3G sim card in a dumbphone, call customer care (611) and request a wix block/ data opt-out on that line. I doubt they'll put the smartphone exclusion on it if it's not a smartphone--if it is then they'll probably put a data plan on instead. After you can log into the online account management, check the features on the line and verify the data opt-out and then try to put your 3G sim into a 4G smartphone and make some calls. Warning: in the event that you weren't intending to upgrade to a smartphone anyways, you might cause yourself a lot of headache getting the data back off once your sim is back in your original non-smartphone (assuming that data block by itself isn't enough to curb the data). Please chime in if it worked because I'm sure there's at least a few members who would be interested.:)

Loving the Samsung Galaxy S II and XDA...I can't wait to decide which mods I'm going to do first...

YES, the stock ROM has that option. It is the best solution that doesn't require any hassle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RPK925:
I'm pretty sure you can't use wifi if you have a data block on your account. my dad had a Samsung epix i907 and put a data block on it, obviously network data didn't work, but I was surprised wifi didn't work. so I switched out my similar with his (I had a Tilt 2) and data, and wifi worked fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
This is wrong. A data block should not affect wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lo-fi_engineer:
That is incorrect. I've signed onto 3 wifi networks already and have been downloading via wifi almost continuously since "activating" the phone. Data block is active in the online account management regardless of my phone settings or which network I'm connected to (HSPDA currently). I can turn on/off 3G, 4G, packet data, etc. nothing goes through with an active data block unless you're signed onto wifi. The drawback is that you can't send/receive mms with a data block and sometimes it makes the phone sh** all over itself when your friend sends you an mms (or at least my Incite did) and the mail server keeps trying to push it. *DATA# verifies no data to the network.

I found this *#2263# to mess with the network band settings. Has anyone used those settings successfully?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nomad 666:
Ever want to use your Prime flat on a table?.. doesn't happen to me that often either, but anyway...

If you have the dock, it makes a fantastic table stand. Detach the screen while at about 90 degrees to the dock. Flip the dock over (keys down) and the little rubber feet on the bottom grip the Prime and protect the Ali back from scratches. The hinge and the little rubber buffer the front mean the keys don't touch the table either.

I can just tell I'm gona get loads of "thanks" for this. lol. :D

I've used all kinds of launchers the latest being Go which I really enjoy. I'm just wondering if there's anyway to make a few mods to stock Sense.

The 2 mods I'm talking about are home screen rotation to landscape which would be great for car docking. And Control over number of home screens cause I don't need 7.

I know Sense based tablets allow for landscape rotation just wish this could be done on the phone version.

Is this possible? I would use Sense if this could be done.

Hi guys,

the way we can throw the multimedia contents to dlna tv, is it possible to play music (mp3) from Sony Tablet to external Speaker/Woofer System (DLNA based)

if yes which speakers to buy ???
[Sony Tablet S] obicom:
I know this one : Sony SA-NS300
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:

Sony SA-NS300 ___ Sony SA-NS400 ___ Sony SA-NS500

any other options available??
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
Anyone???

[Sony Tablet S] 4dthinker:
A quick check of Amazon.com releaves that Sony seems to be the only one making DLNA speakers. Several Home Audio Amps and BluRay players are coming with that feature, as well as Smart HDTVs. I have a few of both, and am truly enjoying throwing music from my tablet to my home theater via a Sharp Smart TV. Can't help you with a speaker choice though. Maybe a few more brands will show up with DLNA speakers this year.
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
I wonder if they will work with video from netflix or mx video player coming on the screen still but sound out of the dlna or is it bad idea or impossible?
[Sony Tablet S] 4dthinker:
DLNA support is still a mixed bag as far as my experience shows. I haven't seen any device or app that can split up the audio and video to output to different devices. Anything I can throw video at gets the audio as well. At best you can keep a now playing screen up for audio on the tablet when sending the actual music output to a speaker or amp or TV. Yet if the audio or video is web based, wifi is occupied and I haven't yet found a way to also use DLNA to forward either the audio or video part of it to another device. Not to say it won't be possible in the future, but DLNA is a relatively new technology. I suspect we'll eventually see two wifi channels/chips in these devices, mainly to support wifi in and DLNA out simultaneously.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
so what you suggest, should I buy one or wait??!!!??

its actually quite expensive as well..
[Sony Tablet S] winnerzero:
I have both the tablet s n sans300 dlna speakers n it all works fine for me. Haven't been able to play a movie on the tablet with the sound via the speakers with dlna but the speaker has an audio in port where u can just plug a 3.5mm audio jack in to play as a regular speaker...

Btw, the sans300 is amazing n has great audio quality wherever u r in the room...I just wish that it also ran on batteries so it can just "float" in the middle of the room...
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
So ns300 needs AC supply??

[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
I think in my case then some bluetooth speaker solution would be best if i want to split audio and video. Could someone recommend some please.
[Sony Tablet S] baastrup:
Seems like Sony is comming with a new serries of models SA-NS310, 410,510?
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
The same splitting problem will still be present as it is not possible for a DLNA Renderer of any kind to play media it is not able to play (i.e. speakers cannot play movies). DLNA just doesn't work like that.

It's also worth noting that DLNA support for me has been far from a "mixed bag" when using the stock Sony apps, so they're definitely a better bet.
[Sony Tablet S] xperiax10.awesome:
When these speakers will be available in Singapore..
[Sony Tablet S] henly:
why use DNLA ....

..... use bluetooth, logic make a BT connetor that you can use on any speakers I've got one set up that uses all my mobile devices including laptops galaxy note Tablet s etc.
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Be wary that using Bluetooth does invoke a certain loss in audio quality, but does enable you to connect without WiFi. They are quite different technologies after all.

As for the DLNA's availability, you might be best asking the Sony Central (or Style) in Singapore about that.
[Sony Tablet S] henly:
Yes, thats true there is a loss (or so they tell me), but if like me, you cant tell the difference, meh.

The sound comes out of the speakers and the vid plays on the tab, and the logic is only about 30 quid so if you've already got speakers no need to buy new ones.

Hi all,

Im in the process of getting a new contract, and I have 2 options, the Galaxy W or HTC desire S, I was going to get the desire S until i saw the W, hwt ado you alll think,

I compared the two and it was a tie on here

http://geekaphone.com/compare/Samsung-GALAXY-W-vs-HTC-Desire-S

Also will the W be getting ICS?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] banelicious:
Well from my expwrience with the W (and having a friend with the DesireS) I can say that I'm really satisfied with my purchase.

The phone itself is pretty speedy (and even speedier if you root it and uninstall the Samsung bloatware plus anything that you don't need) and quite nice to held in hand.

As far as I know it won't get the ICS update, at least officially.

But who cares, in CyanogenMod we trust.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lionfib:
I don't yet hava a smartphone and I had the same dilemma...

As far as I can tell the Desire S only advantage is the bigger ram, but the Galaxy W has a newer technology as the blutooth, flash, browser and codecs support.

I will know if my decision was good by the end of the week.

anyway, i couldn't find a batter "bang for the buck" in that price range...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Vyker:
I had a long hard look at both these phones before I ended up buying the Galaxy W.

The Desire S is much more well built, but that made it very heavy.

The screen is better on the W than the DS. It just looks much more crisp.

The glass is also alot smooth on the W, no smudge stays after a quick wipe. I hear it is also Gorilla Glass alternative from Samsung. Very impressed.

The W doesnt have a LED notification light, which is annoying.

The W is much faster in terms of CPU, opening the browser for instance was quicker on the W than the DS, but the DS has a much better UI, Sense is far better than TouchWiz.

Battery life on the W is good once you remove the bloat. I get well over 20hrs, that includes calls and gaming.

The W feels plastic'y but not bad due to how light it is. Like a feather.

There is far more community support for the DS than the W, but as you can see we are growing :)

All in all, both phones are great, but the extra CPU grunt makes it a winner for the W.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 2g11:
Vyker you I couldn't have described it better. Excellent comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] lionfib:
what about the ore RAM u get with the Desire S? it is not a big-a-deal?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Vyker:
Depends on what you think RAM is? :p

Yes, it is true to say, "the more the better".

But what does it actually mean to the end user, trying to make a phone call, or play a quick round of a game?

The reality is, 512Mb of RAM on the SGW is more than enough. If used correctly, you should have about 50Mb free at all times, this means that you are using the RAM as intended, to run your phone.

I have on my phone, about 13 applications running all the time, and have 50Mb free. I would rather have only 10-20Mb free, as this means more has been given to make sure my phone runs smoothly.

There are mis-conceptions that "OMFG I only have 20mb left, this phone is ****" are wrong. It doesn't mean you dont have enough. It just means it is being used correctly.

Anyhow, for Gingerbread, 512Mb is perfectly fine to run your phone and your apps. It won't be slow! Don't worry.

You will notice a drop in performance because of CPU clock speed [SGW@1.4Ghz and DS@1Ghz] more than you would because of less RAM. Bear that in mind!

Good Luck!
