[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tylerdurdin:
Although I am not an advocate of piracy, I can see a lot of issues that do fall to the favor of the movie companies. As previously mentioned music and movie companies can release whatever form of entertainment they feel fit, charge for it and screw the guy who is paying to view it on whatever medium that may be.

when a movie is released to theaters and previews are made often, QUITE MISLEADING previews, the ticket seller does not give a crap if I enjoyed the movie or not. Taking my wife and two children to the movies often costs me 75 dollars EASY, and not so much as an apology as I am leaving these dreadful abominations. This seems to be one industry that is REWARDED REGARDLESS OF QUALITY. There is no comparison to the car industry as if you are sold a lemon the law protects you.

Also who gets to dictate what you do with a product after you purchase it? If I PURCHASE a DVD I should be able to do whatever I want with it. I can LOAN or GIVE it away to anyone I want right? If I have an old cellphone laying around that I purchased and no longer want I can give it to whoever I want. Prohibiting people from giving away cellphones will boost sales for big business but I dont think that anyone is in favor of that. If I purchased a DVD and chose to loan it to 10,000 friends.....Its mine, I do agree however that rebroadcasting that content for profit should be illegal.

uploading a movie so that a friend may view it from his house or even for storing or whatever should not be illegal....and it SHOULD be illegal for websites to SELL that content or even advertise that its there. there is very little transparency in copyright for the end user or purchaser of DVD and CD content.

I have no sympathy WHATSOEVER for these companies who have notoriously ripped off film makers and the artists in their own industry and are now crying about the fact that DVD and CD sales have crashed. Almost EVERY record GIANT screwed the artist they had on their labels to make that money....thats why it is known in these businesses that Singers make their money touring, and movies make their money in the box office.

These guys can cry about piracy all they want but the facts remain that very little damage is done by pre-mature releases of movies before the box office....No one is watching cam videos and if they are good I hope they enjoy watching crappy movies made on a even crappier video recorder. As for music and movies on their respective medium, we are MOVING from an AGE that even requires this type of distribution. iTunes is responsible as much for the decline of cd sales as anyone. Once again I am not an advocate, I do not condone stealing, but until someone steps up and comes to bat and clarifies why I DONT have the right to do what I want with something I PAID for....seems that the good ol USA is the major player in protecting this industry and not the people who are paying to support it.

That's not a requirement for the law to be broken. Possession of pirated content in any form is a federal offense. You are a dip****. You think you get to dictate the terms of someone elses work and what/how they should be paid for it. Your mentality is exactly the kind that is causing the government to want to legislate this issue. People that think like you do are ripping off not just the artists and record/movie studios, but all the ancillary people who make their living supplying these products. The "little people" behind the scenes that you don't give a second's thought to because you're so wrapped in in getting what YOU want that you can't even see how your actions impact the rest of us who play by the rules. You are a scumbag douche and I hope your stupidity carches up with you. 34 and going back to school? Well, I'm 53 and just retired comfortably to Florida after 33 years in CA. Have fun in your second career.:D

Take from those that have and give to those that don't? Obama voter, I presume? So much for free enterprise. The ironic thing is that your stance is wrapped in freedom, but is completely filled with socialism inside.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] auswims:
Your chooosing to watch the things that you say are crap....no ones making you. Of you don't like it that's on you. Its obvious you have no concept of business and the laws governing property rights.

I agree withe a previous post that proletariat like you with a sense of entitlement are the reason we have so many special interest groups and lobbies.

Re-read your own posts after you own or are actually responsible for the results of a business or employees. You will have hopefully learned why your current stance is so ludicrous.

+1 I put in my $.02 about how easy it is for our government to shut down a site and i am sure others will follow. I didnt expect a idiot trying to make claims to why he should be ALLOWED to pirate in here. Like I said before i really didnt like the site BUT it had its uses. For the person that said use dropbox it is not always possible, dropbox wouldn't let me upload a file that was over 100Mb in size. So I had to use multiupload.

I dont agree with piracy either but the movies and music companies have/are slitting their own throats here. They didnt want to evolve with the newer technologies until sites like napster came along and they sued them. Then they started off with ridiculous charges for electronic downloadable cd's. It has gotten better pricewise but still it took them too long to embrace technology.

Back on topic, if it is this easy for the government to shut down a site that probably had WAY MORE legitimite files stored on it that illegal then THINGS WILL be a changing for sure. The point is they already have the needed tools to fight piracy pretty hard. Will they get RID of it, doubtful. But if a server company gets a complaint about a illegal file and they remove it, then didn't they at least TRY to do what was necessary. If they had a FULL list of links to close due to piracy would they not shut all them off? These are the things i worry about, government control beyond the illegal activities and having the power to turn off ANY site they feel violates their ideals.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lunercrab:
OK so coming from an iPhone I bought the galaxy s2. Didn't think of getting the skyrocket cause I don't have lte in my area. Long story short I'm really loving the phone but now I'm hearing bout this HD version. I would love to have a HD quality screen. But I like the smaller size of the s2 screen. Well I'm still in my buyers remorse stage so I'm wondering if its worth it to wait it out. Not sure how long it'll take to be released. What would u guys do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TOA Duck:

You can wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE, but if you want one more week after it's released you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S II Super HD XLE LTE. Then of course one week after that you could have the Samsung Galaxy S II.1 Super HD XLE LTE.

On a serious note, whatever you decide on, don't let buyers remorse get to when it's bypassed by a 'better' model just after you get it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lunercrab:
^ya ur right. I was gunna get the skyrocket originally but since the s2 was cheaper and we don't have lte yet I bought the s2. I'm having a hard enough time making my battery last all day in my s2. I could imagine the drain from a bigger

HD screen. Although the att guy did make a good point bout the lte. He says if I go to a place that does have lte it would be a nice feature to have. Then again I change phones like crazy. So maybe ill just wait til newer stuff comes out in summer :)

fpse did an automatic update. and now when i load my iso it asks twice. oncei click it the first time and dont click it the second time it will oad my iso but the screen to choose an iso would still be up blocking my view. i would press the back button but then it goes to the fpse info page. this new update is screwing me up. I cant even find the setting for a bluetooth device so i can connect my ps3 controller. I need to figure out how i can properly get my iso running and load my saved files
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00mz:
Hey gang. I've got one of the original AT&T Galaxy Tab devices from November 2010. Shortly after I first got it, I rooted the device and installed

Firmware 2.2

Baseband I9000UGJK3

Kernel 2.6.32.9 root@DELL104 #1

Build: FROYO.XWJMI.Roto-JMI-v2

Lately it seems as if the device is running a little sluggish.

What ROM or ROM/KERNEL would you recommend I try next? My daily phone is a CM7 variant on an HTC Inspire 4G. I'm not a fan of MIUI.

Please help, there's so many ROMS now, I'm not sure where to go next

[Xperia Arc General] forzanerazzurri:
This may be a silly question, but with Android being a little finicky at times, I find myself occasionally having to open the back to remove the battery in order to reset a frozen phone. How will this be done in a phone with no removable battery?
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
Only thing that I can think of the iphone you can't open and never had a problem but that's apple! I guess we have to wait and see?
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
I think there will be another thing to do this.

Sony or any other manufacter will need it too, when they're programming some stuff and it doesn't work.

Or do you think they always take another device if something doesn't work?

It's the same thing with your computer long press the on switch. ;)

Imagine you are in a boot loop and have to wait until battery is dead. :D
[Xperia Arc General] xperiax10.awesome:
there should be some way to hard reset..may be a pin hole!!
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
I've read that usually you can hold the power button for like 10 seconds to force a power off.
[Xperia Arc General] jimbo77:
That's the case for the Galaxy S! I had that phone and yes you can reset the phone by pushing the power button for 10 secs. I've tried with the arc but it doesn't work lol

Maybe SE thought we could remove the battery anyway? I tried it with my Neo too indeed, and didn't work either. Isn't it possible to build this in a ROM, so I don't have to remove the back cover?

[Xperia Arc General] iridaki:
This is not a software feature, as it is useful for just those situations where software actually fails, i.e. it's not responsive.

It's more like a hardware switch being activated by long press.

This is obsolete for the Arc because its battery is very much removable.

[HTC Aria General] oneders65:
I am new here to Aria and ATT. I was wondering if ATT can detect tethering on all Cusom Roms?
[HTC Aria General] tomtommy306:
Yes... It's where the data terminates is how they can detect it. That and packet inspection.
[HTC Aria General] oneders65:
I guess no one has figured out a way to stop detection like the devs on the cdma carriers.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
ClockworkMod's new Tethering app is supposed to be undetectable -- although the app itself is not free (you can use it for a few weeks as a trial though) and it only supports USB tethering. Still might be worth a look: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Yy1jb9z4TA

You won't find it on the Market though because AT&T has blocked it. You'd have to sideload it.
[HTC Aria General] oneders65:
Thanks. Pda supposedly has a stealth mode. I wonder how good that is compared to clockwork?
[HTC Aria General] markbc01:
my HTC Aria rooted and using CY7 (nightlies) tethered to a laptop and to an HTC tablet with AT&T service. Didn't do it much, but did use it on several occasions, never had an AT&T problem..

That's nice to know. Phone is a work phone so want to be careful and sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] flyimages:
i was able to successfully unlock bootloader, was able to flash a rom successfully, used that rom for a good couple days. then i decided to try a new rom InfectedROM Eternity™ | RLS_1.5 | NIGHTLYS | 3.0 & 3.5 | XE BEATS |(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1277431&highlight=stock+radio), so i went into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, system. then i flashed the new rom, new rom loaded but stuck in that roms boot screen.

i went back to recovery wiped everything out again, installed the 1st orig rom i installed, now it just loads to the htc boot screen, & every 30sec or so the htc boot screen would go off & come back on. i went to recovery wiped everything again, did nandroid restore, same results, any suggestions?

what im using:

unlocked bootloader

s -on

hboot 1.50

using teamwin recovery v2.0
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Just wipe flash a new rom. Should be good to go
[HTC EVO 3D] flyimages:
already tried no luck
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
Did you apply any tweaks or different kernels? was your kernal that you are on now compatible with the rom that you had put on? The recovery your on, r you on 2.0 or the second releaese of 2.0?

You could try to reflash your recovery and then try to nandroid back. Or try a different kernel and or different rom and go from there. Kind of hard to diagnose bc not sure of exactly what you have done completely. If all else fails, search for the ruu and re apply the original rom and re root.

From my guess, it sounds as something that was applied didn't apply right. Again, not sure on all the details.. I know its not much to go on but good luck on it.

Look at the bright side, your obviously not bricked and if you have to re apply the original and start over, its not that bad. Just a little time out of the afternoon.
[HTC EVO 3D] flyimages:
only update i did was the rom

tried about 2 more diff roms, still same issue

hmm.. i also choose the "system format" in twrp, would that have done some damage?
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Are you using fastboot to boot into recovery? If not, and you're hboot 1.5, then that's your problem.

And wiping system wouldn't cause any issues as long as you flash a new ROM after wiping the system, before you reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] flyimages:
ah ok i manually go into hboot with the down volume + power. did "fastboot reboot-bootloader" into bootloader, wiped out everything & reinstall rom, still same issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] mikeysteele:
Try extracting the boot.img from the zip file containing the rom and flashing it with with fastboot binary. If you have S-ON, CWM can't flash the boot partition so you'll get bootloops with any rom that needs a custom initrd.gz. You need to manually flash the boot partition.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Yea, do adb reboot bootloader, and then do fastboot boot recovery.img.

You will need to make sure that you have a copy of your recovery.img in the folder that you are working out of when you issue the fastboot boot recovery.img command
[HTC EVO 3D] flyimages:
thanks all for the help, the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" was pretty much what i was missing!

wow didnt wonder somethin so small could cause something this big, i got everything up & running now! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
glad to see your on the up and up :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Mes3:
Okay, I'm having the same problem. No matter what I do, I get stuck in a boot loop after installing a rom. Extracting the boot.img and flashing in fastboot doesn't do a thing. My nand backups don't work either (get stuck at restoring boot).

Don't have any problems installing recovery and gaining root. I'm at a loss here. I really want to get my MIUI on! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
Are you booting your recovery from fastboot? Fastboot boot recovery.img. If not, boot.img won't flash. It's not necessary to flash the boot.img separately, just boot your recovery from fastboot and you'll be good.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mes3:
Yup, definitely booting recovery from fastboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] jwolf1:
I had the same problem try to install new recovery VIA fastboot an wipe data/factory reset then flash new ROM u should be all set to go

Been following HHGregg thread and have noticed everyone from there has less or no bleed, no ICS lockup issues, better WiFi range, and possibly better GPS signal. I know hands down it was much better then the one I got from Gamestop on Dec 23.

So if this is true like it appears to be don't tell me Asus didn't totally **** the bed on QualityControl and just rushed that **** out initially and while we are at it they MUST be using different hardware or firmware versions of something in the newer Primes.

He said the next purchase order was sometime around the 25th. I'm not sure whether he meant that I'm going to get one of those or not.
