That is true, i use it like that but if im on the bed or something at home. So i dont use up my 5gb, i use it real quick. Plus if people are at home why not use a laptop :)

wifi is free
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elitox87:
your wifi is slow not because of the fact that youre on wifi, but because your own ISP's provisioned line is slow - thus, you have a slow internet package with your provider, either that or your having intermitten speed issues with the line. and there is no "100%" unlimited data on 4g/hspa+, max is 5gbs then youre throttled to be on edge. but really, i have the 2gb on 4G package and i can barely use a gig on a monthly basis from usual web browsing. i guess i shall start streaming some movies on the phone..:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Most of the time I'm at college and wifi is free so why not use it? Besides here the max down is 3mbs and wifi is 10. At home we don't have a dedicated internet connection so I tether to all my devices there.

My Wifi is faster than my data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chib1panda:
Wifi is faster than my data. I dont want to get throttled because of how much data i use. Data uses more vattery because its onstantly searching and switching from hspa+, gms ,etc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cbutt:
My wifi is faster than 4g. Also, my block has terrible service (previously had Verizon, it was horrible, my neighbors have sprint, it sucks too), so I use wifi calling because my wifi signal strength acts as my signal, so I get all calls, texts & don't drop calls.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
- wifi uses less battery

- its free.. doesnt use up my monthly 5gb so i dont get throttled

- ground level apartment doesnt get good service ..sometimes no service.. so wifi + wifi calling is almost necessary

- wifi is faster than 4g (unless you have crappy internet like OP must have)

- Having my phone on the same wifi network as my Samsung TV ( with built in wireless ) allows me to use my phone as a remote control for the TV and also i can send pictures , music, videos , whatever from my phone wirelessly to my tv
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
When did wifi become free? Am I missing something here? If your at home and your using a wireless router to use the wifi off, then is it really free. I can understand being out and using it but at home your paying your ISP and tmobile. I agree data speeds at home are usually faster but I get 12 and sometimes 16mb at home on tmobile. Currently tethering on my plan and it beat my ESP in downloads. Keep in mind my old plan with Comcast was 12mb and my most recent was only 1-1.5mb.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobby3306:
actually Tmobile has a10gb package for the extreme users..at the end of my Billing cycle Im usually at 4.5GB of use so I downgraded from the 10 GB package. I have average download speeds of 13mb and 4mb up with this phone way better then the 3 down and.50 up my sensation got in the same place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rlowens44:
I use wifi when available. Doesn't count against my data plan and my home internet is much faster then my home 4g data connection.

Why would anyone use 4g when wifi and a fast internet connection is available?

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Yes , it's free. I have a fast internet connection for my home network and it doesn't cost me any more to use wifi for my phone and tablet. I'm paying for the internet connection any way so why not take advantage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GaryAustin:
My thoughts on voice-over-IP (aka VoIP):

My experience with VoIP on my SII wasn't good. I was on a conf' call and people said my voice was cutting out. I use ATT U-verse for home so it wasn't just about bandwidth.

I didn't really spend much time diagnosing the problem - the easy fix was to set "voice" to "Cell preferred".
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Oh, CWM, how MUCH I can't stand thee:

Anyway, here's a long version:

I can't stand using CWM for recovery.

(I initially had an OG Evo, and it was nothing but a headache, so I always used AmonRa, successfully, and use that or TWRP on my ALL my other devices, where I can...

I'very made other posts about its issues, and have gotten into it with Koush online before about all the problems with it, and how he just let's so many versions out into the wild that aren't working for different phones...

With the ET4G, I kinda had to use it, and was able to flash a working version thru Odin.

Whatever, I was able to use it.

Lately, Koush releases a touchscreen version, there are stories about it all over the web: so I go into Rom Manager to check it out:

It tells me that it's not yet compatible with the ET4G, but that my version of CWM is outdated, so I should flash a newer CWM....

LIKE AN IDIOT, I agreed.

Now, just when I finally have a chance to flash CM9 on my ET4G, after waiting SOOOOO long?

I can't.

Because now, my recovery's totally borked.

I can't even get my phone to do anything but bootloop the CM7 animation, and download mode is the only thing I can get into.

Now, I'm gonna have to spend all this time today fixing what shouldn't be messed up in the first place instead of enjoying CM9 like I should be doing.

(BTW: Koush, if you're listening: this will be the last time for sure I ever fall for that again.)

Yeah, I'm mad, Bro.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
I never use ROM manager but doesn't cwm have to be packaged with a kernel in order for it to work? ie. we can't just flash a recovery like we could in the evo 4G days. Methinks if you just use odin to flash a kernel+cwm package you'll be back up and running in no time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] anthony67:
Methinks you are a wise and gracious man with your help......;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Oh, yeah: I can fix it, but my wife has my laptop till like 7pm, and I really don't wanna mess with drivers, Odin, all, that stuff on my desktop. I keep all my Android stuff on one PC (laptop) and I like having ADB, drivers, all that stuff, in one place...Just kinda threw a rock into my chain, on today of all days...

Edit: And, yeah, I knew that used to be the case with CWM (needed kernel flash), but when a known high-level dev is telling me basically, that "this updated version will work for that very specific Android device that you have", and that "I can use his app to flash it", I guess I wanted to believe him...

Eff that guy: He needs to spend less time stacking his money, and more time having some accountability for what he releases to the public.

/End rant.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
So, this has nothing to do with Clockworkmod, you are really pissed that samsung requires recovery and kernels on the same partition.

Koush can only do so much magic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
?

How much magic does it take to remove the ET4G from Rom Manager's compatability list?

I'd bet not too much: In fact, I'd bet I could learn that trick in one short weekend.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Nandroid hardly ever works for me, it usually fails during the restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
just uninstall rom manager its about worthless for our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
I know it sux but I have to agree the real problem and question is if you know your way around your phone then honestly why in the hell would you use Rom Manager, Not getting on you but I too hated CWM on OG Evo, I used Amon but the one thing we all learned early is do it yourself so you dont need Rom Manager...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] musclehead84:
I love the new clockwork mod touch recovery. I actually like it better than twrp2.0. Only thing I like about twrp is you can compress the backups. The new cwm touch was just released for the ns4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] digitalcrash:
I agree ROM manager is useless in the galaxy s4g forums its ROM Mangler.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I know, I know...

(And I'm back up with CM9 on my ET4G: used my desktop, couldn't wait all day), and believe me: there's probably no one who's more outspoken about their anti-cwm/rommanagerness than I am: I'm just mad at myself for believing that the new update would work..

Oh well, lesson (re)learned....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
This is why i no longer use that pos rom manager. When i first started out with android that biatch messed up my og epic a few times. I learned my lesson after a few odins :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
I use it all the time to boot into recovery and that is it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] il buono:
I use the extended power options for that...but obviously the rom needs to include it which most do now. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for ever buying rom manager but I guess it was the noob in me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
Same thing happened to me when I first rooted my phone. I rooted the stock rom then installed rom manager and installed the recovery that way. Then when I booted into recovery, the only option I had was to reboot.

Don't ever use Rom Manager. Ever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
For our phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
There's definitely nothing wrong with CWM. Blame rom manager if you must place the blame anywhere besides yourself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tyea:
I bought rom manager to support clockworkmod and have access to the latest clockworkmod versions. I think they have provided a wonderful tool. Anyway, I actually never used it except to check for roms and latest clockworkmod.

I've flashed the touch version of clockworkmod (downloaded the .img file from the clockrkmod web site) on my ns4g using adb and fastboot (thanks to Paul627 for the tutorial).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NoSpamDan:
Another disappointment here with ROM Manager... When I first got it, it would queue these actions, backup automatically, and reboot. I thought that was cool, and worth buying the app.

Purchased to support, and after updates I can't access my backups from ROM Mangler, hitting "Backup current ROM" prompts for a name and reboots to recovery, but the name is gone. Tried reinstalling, reflashed recovery, etc. to no avail.

I contacted the developer and never even got a reply. I would have clicked on the Refund button if the

15 minute refund period

had been enough time to realize what a POS it would turn out to be.

Market rating=1 star...:mad:

For some illogical reason, I was thinking that I might have to keep that POS ROM Mangler installed (even though I don't use it) for a while to get my money's worth... or maybe I could chalk it up to money well-spent on a valuable lesson:

Don't use ROM Manager!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
I would support Cyanogenmod (in fact I've donated) but I will not support Clockwork mod. That guy is only out for money where as CM is out to better the community. Considering that Kouch is the co-founder of CM and the fact that, instead of adding his work to CM and branding it as CM, he started his own CWM and charges for his products. I think it says a lot of his integrity. What if everyone else that is involved with CM did the same? It's a damn shame. But I digress and a lot of people won't feel the same as me and I'll probably be flamed by the famboys, but I've said my part and that's how I feel.

Good day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I wouldn't even use it for that... Most of the ROMs already have the recovery option in the power menu anyway. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
This is totally your fault. Not ClockworkMod, or Koush.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
How so? Rom Manager said that there was a recovery update for his device so he flashed. How is that his fault? He's supposed to know that Rom Manager is wrong?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
I think he was trying to say that it was totally my fault because I should've known up front what a theiving liar Koush can be when it comes to his apps, and that I should've known that all he cares about is making money.....

You know what?

He was right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Fault? No ... but I don't think Maz is really pointing fingers here. He's just ranting. He's smart enough to know not to trust Rom Manager on this phone. Should it work? Well yeah, if it says it should. But even paid products have bugs. Buyer beware.

I personally have never touched ROM Manager, and only use CWM because it's my only choice. With that said, CWM has been nothing but good to me, outside of being a bit clunky to use. But it works, and Koush hasn't padded his pockets from me anyways.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Because when this happened:

This is when I stop and do nothing more with the app until it is officially compatible.

The app tells him his device isn't compatible and he continues using the app to flash something and now its the app/developers fault? really?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
Yeah, the newest "touch" version says it's not compatible (as I stated in the OP), but the next-oldest build (which was still an "update" for me, said that it WAS compatible, and that's why I thought it was OK to flash....Again, still my mistake, I should've known better.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tenaciousj:
Easy... don't use rom manager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
I'm sorry Mazook but you are SUCH a whino!

Koushe is an awesome developer. ROM Manager is free for everyone and if you want to download premium stuff you need the TWO DOLLAR pro version. Or you can download the recoveries from http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager - bypassing the fee. It's only $2 to help support him, he's not greedy.

What do you expect? A personal response from him on your problems because you can't read? ROM Manager is compatible with about every rooted phone out there, do you honestly think he has every phone out there to test as well as twenty hands and a friggin' time-freeze button to get more hours out of the day? He's a busy man. He helps big time with CM7/CM9, ports CWM to other devices and has other apps, like No-Root CWTether and ROM Manager. Soooo sorry he missed that the E4GT can't flash the CWM from update, you live & you learn. It's part of being a root user. He didn't brick your phone, he caused you a minor inconvenience. To be such a whiny little nub about it is REALLY embarrassing for you man, I feel bad for you honestly.

Don't hate on a dev because he didn't write you a personal little note with a cute little letter head to make you feel special. He has a life and many other projects beyond the grasp of your tiny little brain.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] adamvan2000:
XOD I have to agree with dbay on this one. After all, the dude even posted a friggin' GUIDE to building CWM on any device... If you screwed up using an incompatible product, suck it up buttercup and learn to do your research before attempting these things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazook98:
To the two *****es:

I paid Koush his money a LOOOOONG time ago.

Want me to list JUST the devices that I own that Rom Manager has been a nightmare on (cuz it's definitely not just this one, but this one's a start: )

Epic Touch 4G

Viewsonic Gtab

Nook Color

OG Evo 4G

Evo Shift 4G

and the Evo 3D as well.

I'm NOT imagining all this, so why don't you both roll back over, turn out your nitelites, and call it a day.

Good Lordy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dbaybay:
Oh kiddie, you make me laugh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
Jesus... I knew the evo users were plagued with entitlement issues... But damn... Makes me miss the OG Epic forums. This huge tantrum over a two dollar donation? Rom Manager is a convenience... Quit *****ing... You dont even need it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
Why can't someone have a legitimate issue, and post about his experiences? If the problem was with another developer or another app, would you guys still get mad that he said something? What is it about Koush that no one can say anything about him or his apps without getting attacked? I don't get it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] locoboi187:
Stuff like this never happened over the OG EVO forums :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
I dont personally care which developer youre bashing... Its still childish. Yah, he made a product and should back it up to the best of his ability... But the point is that its not like he is some big corporation... You cant expect instant service and the app, which is more of an added convenience, to work for all 20 devices you own. If it worked for one, then you got your moneys worth, anything else is bonus. This kind of app is just like the recoveries, root methods, etc... Flash at your own risk. This particular phone is plagued with entitlement issues... Its really sad... And probably keeps devs away because they dont want to deal with the users who think the world owes them everything. People think if they throw their pocket change at these devs they will jump to and give them anything they want. Besides... Isnt this app designed to just make the already simple process of flashing a rom even easier? This thread is silly... Reflash, move on.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

No offense... Just saw a lot of people dump their evos and move to the epic due to the obnoxious brats in the evo forums... I know it isnt everyone. I think the very large evo dev cpmmunity has just created some spoiled brats... Doesnt happen to everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
There's a difference between having problems and constructive criticism about a developer/app and straight up bashing them. There's a right way and a wrong way to do these things, esp when it's software development.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
You would pay 100 for it if it worked? this is part of the problem mentality... Throw money at people and expect them to drop their day job just to fix your issue... This is a hobby for most devs... They arent your servants.
