Dude, you're absolutely right! If anyone disagrees, its because they have been brain washed for so long they don't know any better. Come to think of it, I hardly use my "phone" to make phone calls. The sad reality, though, is that I don't see change any time soon. We have given the carriers too much power and, just like government, they never give that power back.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
But I mean, this if what the man is good at, like for real. They sell us on an idea, put the product in our hand, say "do anything you can imagine with it" and out in the fine print "but only do what we allow you to imagine, nothing more!" For example, just because it plugs in, in a sense anyway. I have a NextBook Premium 7 tablet. I have also started developing roms. The problem my partners and I ran into was the limitation of space on the thing (210 mb after root, 160 mb before root), after converting the file system from the manufacturer version to a version that the typical phone runs (ext3) and editing the parameters, the thing has a gigabyte of free space. To plug this into the topic at hand, what the electronic market does by limiting the possibilities of what our devices can do is keep money in their pockets, because they (for example) release a 3vo with a 1 gHz processor, the release a sensation with a 1.2 GHz, putting emphasis on the ".2" for $100 more. Then come back and sound the release of a quad core 1.5 GHz phone, again putting emphasis on the ".5" and are going to throw ANOTHER $100 on to of the sensations price tag after rebate. When in fact, the 3vo can be over clocked to 1.5 and be stable, the sensation can hit that 1.8 with its eyes closed, and I'm quite sure a quad core can push 2.0 GHz plus on a bad day. The average consumer doesn't know this though, and the average consumer happens to be pretty much 95% of society with an Android phone smartphone, and unfortunately the consumer market plays on this lack of knowledge.

This should at the very least concern some of you. The way the technological world is headed, lap top and desk top computers could very well be obsolete in a few years. Entirely obsolete. Your “phone” will do all of the things your computer does, and dell will be in the “phone” business, not the PC business. Who is going to be in control of your “phone service”….??

Sprint, Verizon, T mobile, etc… turning a blind eye to this unfolding before our very eyes is ignorant and foolish. They will have us all by the testicles.

so my car is also a computer? Its got multiple CPU's, a place to watch dvds, and a 7" monitor with android OS on it. I drive a computer! sweet!
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
well you are obviously out of your element here.

what is the MAIN function of your car? to drive. technically your brain is a computer. don't be a moron.

a hand held camera for example, has a speaker phone on it for recording sound with the video? correct? does it also have an image processor? yes it does. do we call it a voice recorder? no. we call it a camera.

my whole point is that our "phones" are far more similar to our "computers" and labelling them "phones" and treating them as such, by controlling them and monopolizing them and dictating what we are not allowed to do with them, is none of anybody's ****ing business but ours - much like what you do with your computer is nobody's business but yours. if i download torrents on my lap top, does dell and comcast walk in and remove the service i am paying for? no, they don't, because it is unlawful and not their element. furthermore, phone companies do not treat these devices with the respect they deserve, hence all the security flaws we uncover in the dev community. this needs to change.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
The phone "will" do nothing, cause it already does.! And though I agree that the ideal "desktop or laptop" will fade, the touchscreen PC will shine through eventually just as the phone did, I doubt regular computers will fade away at anytime in the near future.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
1. The code for phones is written on supercomputers, so you'll likely not see the complete dismantling of them in general. Maybe a huge drop off of personal (at home) computers/laptops, but not full scale pc absence.

2. Its the desire of the users to have the latest and greatest things to play with that feeds cell phone companies and allows them to control the experience.

3. The only true way to revolt against the companies, is don't buy the latest and greatest, or don't buy at all. We're only subject to our own temptations. You have to eliminate your dependence on your smartphone, and retract back to "the old way" (only make phone calls, write letters, etc). Its because you (general you) have allowed yourself to be reliant on your phone for so many aspects of your life that phone companies (manufacturers and cell service providers alike) have you by the balls.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
why would you want a touch screen PC when tablets and ipads and phones are already there? and what makes you think the technology will stay restricted to a display screen? virtual displays are already in the works and these will be implemented as soon as they can be. your "phone" could very likely one day fulfill every aspect of entertainment and communication that your standard home computer does. how do you not see this trend already taking a sharp rise over the last two years compared to the last 4 or 5? sprint and other carrier's line up of devices has taken a major overhaul over merely the last 5 years, and you think that trend is suddenly going to come to a screeching halt and dual core, 1 gig RAM, and 4 inch displays will be the standard for the next century or even 5 years? you are mistaken.

Supercomputers control everything, including the internet. They're here to stay.

I agree that it's your personal device, you should in a sense, have full control, however, there's always limitations.

Torrents will almost always be frowned upon because they synonymous with pirating.

All out mobile hotspot will never be free, because that would eliminate an opportunity for companies to make money.

People complain about the prices of everything, but if you eliminate your expectations and dependencies on the product or service, it will no longer be an issue.

Example: people complain about the price of gas....I don't, my car gets 38 miles a gallon. God for bid you're not driving around an escalade because some rapper is.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
I agree for the most part, but they're not really obliged to do anything. Neither are Microsoft or Apple. If they made it so you can't remove Windows from a PC you bought from them could we stop them? Not exactly. Sure, one day we may even be able to buy parts for our phones, customize them, and even build them like we do our PCs today, but, right now, no. They have us bent over a barrel.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vinchenzop:
We probably won't see the days when you can buy parts for your phone because that would slow the market's ability to convince you that your phone is out of date and that you need to but the latest phone from them to keep up with technology.

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
ha, straight truth.

and yes, true that if you limit your needs you don't have a computer in your hand anymore. does that mean we should all start riding horses again to stick it to the gas man? no. because it is impractical and going backwards in time and technology. mobile computers provide efficiency to the business oriented individual, and promote an efficient way to expand ourselves to various types of knowledge and communication. again, they are computers. computers don't have these limitations because the people who make them want freedom with them. this is my whole point, a line needs to be drawn in the dirt about these phones once being conventional phones and how they are not even close to fitting the description of a phone anymore based on what their primary function is - a computer. and to say that super computers will not disappear is a little short sighted because the first computer was bigger than a house and had the ability to store something on it's hard drive no bigger than an email and that's about it... your "phone" in your pocket compared to that, during that time period, would have been something magical and probably would have made people think you were from a different planet.

technology is ever expanding. and the front lines of this expansion will shift more and more towards hand held devices that fit into your pocket until that is all that exists. are you going to call it a phone still? are you going to be tied to a contract... probably... unless people start waking up to the impending enslavement of cellular companies and their global network.

all I am saying, is there needs to be total freedom of the user of these mobile platforms before it's too late.

I have been watching this thread all day lol...

But on the other hand, I still say a computer will be around for a long time, okay, so I can watch Netflix, do I get rid of the TV and DVD player.? I can play video games, do I throw away my xbox 360.? I have fm radio, so do I get rid of the radio in my car and plug in the auxiliary cord and play radio from there.? All these things that my phone can do, and yet it shows no signs of replacing the electronics I use on a day to day basis. any possible MAJOR transition in technology if not going to happen as it pertains to getting rid of something
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
shows no signs? lol... does the last 20 years of the electronic industry, particularly computers, not show signs of things becoming useless and fading away from the market due to new technology? do I need to give examples... I can... but I don't want to tell you everything. it should be obvious.

Interesting post ... but it's not just about the service providers. Check out the FCC website (fcc.gov/guides/cell-phone-fraud) and let me know what you think, since you referred to adjusting software to your specific needs ... for example adjusting software to "port" top of the line cell phone over to pre-paid plans. What's your opinion on that subject, and how would you feel if you were in their shoes ?

What I'm really asking here ... where is it that you draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable software modifications?

Now what if everybody would do the same...

I know that such philosophical subjects could possibly continue indefinitely, but give it a thought ...

Hi guys. My phone is Samsung Galaxy Ace, firmware Android 2.3.6, rooted

3 questions:

1. I've been able to surf the web using my laptop thru my phone's tethering capability. Will my carrier know about it and charge me for it?

2. When I tap the 'Internet' app, the default homepage is www.google.com.xx (xx represents my country). How do I make it www.google.com ?

3. I always use Kies to back up my phone's contacts. It saves all contacts in a .spb file (samsung phonebook?). Is there a way to send all contacts to my gmail account so I won't have to use Kies?

Thanks so much!:p
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] PsykopathCZ:
Hi, answer first two questions I dont know, but contats may be - you must synchronise your contacts with google account - in contacts - press menu, account, enable synchronisation ;)

I am using export to SD.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
I assume if you exceed your data cap, which is easier to do on a laptop, then yes. For browsing, perhaps they can detect desktop useragent strings if they examine their connection logs, but this would depend on your carrier. Opera on the desktop can tweak useragent strings if I remember correctly, to mask desktop browser usage.

Settings > Set home page should do it but not sure if google do some redirection magic, at which you may need to delete your cookies.

What is wrong with google contacts sync? I never have to backup contacts as that just works with my google account. I do have to backup SMS messages, and the excellent SMS backup and restore by Ritesh Sahu archives them to XML and emails me that daily, very handy!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarlonKaye:
iandol, nothing wrong with google contacts sync.

I don't need the email addresses of my friends in my gmail account to be copied to my phone. What I'm asking for is this: All contacts on my phone will be uploaded to my gmail account, so that if I ever reset my phone, all I need to do is access my gmail account through my phone, and download the contacts. As opposed to plugging my phone to my laptop, opening Kies, and 'import' the contact file (.spb), and 'save to device (my phone)'.

Hope I'm clear.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
Yes. When I switch ROMs I never have to back up my contacts (many with *only* phone numbers), I just associate my phone with my google account and it automagically syncs all my contacts after a few minutes of first booting that fresh ROM. What it doesn't back up is my call log, my sms messages and apn settings, which is why I use other programs for that. *And* although Market tries to reinstall the apps I installed I much prefer to backup apps+data using Titanium Backup, this means I get my phone back exactly as I want it with minimum fuss!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] MarlonKaye:
But when I open my gmail (using a laptop), I don't see my phone's contacts (my friends' cell numbers) anywhere in my gmail. Where is it located?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Pablo87:
If you don't have data plan at you carrier you will be charged for used MB. And your carrier shouldn't be worried how you spent your MB.

If your sync is on and contacts are sync with gmail it will be located under Gmail sign > click mail and switch to contacts.

Try SMS Backup+. It will back-up your SMS, MMS, Call Log in separate label in Gmail.

How do i get my MMS back?! thats my biggest problem right now.

[General Questions and Answers] lukair1983:
Hi. I have small problem here.

Today out of curiosity I checked the battery usage. Usually (for me) it was that the screen took about 50%, and the rest of processes oscalated below 10-15%, where the most took System. Today however I noticed the second System process, that took 35-50%. Second System process behaves like the one that I had before, taking ~10%. When I tap on it, it shows me long list of subprocesses, so this is deffinetly the main Android System process. The second one(the one that I noticed today) has no subprocesses.

Is there any way I can pinpoint the exact service, or app that is responsible for that second System process, or I have to play with system restores, uninstalling apps one by one etc?

Before there was deffinetly no such process(and even if there was, it was at the bottom of the list, taking only couple %), because I would notice it.

I have SGS+ i9001, Android 2.3.6 Open Rom. From what I installed lately, some bigger things I remember are DropSync, new Beta Swype and WidgetSoid 2x.

[General Questions and Answers] lukair1983:

Hi All,

I am new to this forum and I need some help before I root my phone.

Below is my phone details :

Android Version	: 2.3.6

Baseband version	: I8150XXKL3

Kernel Version	: 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150XXLA2-CL869026 dpi@DELL170 #3

Build Number	: GINGERBREAD.XXLA2

My questions are below :

1) Where can I get the above ROM ? In case if I want to unroot and revert back to my original rom.

2) if the best way to root is the 'recovery method' then any one explain that How it do rooting techically? Can I root through 'oem unlock' command?

3) can i execute the fastboot command on this phone ?

Thanks in Advance.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dusk252:
1) Get the stock ROM here. Yours would be the number 7. Since you seem to still have the original firmware, the kernel should be the same. Also, if you ever unroot your phone, flash the stock ROM first and only then unroot it. Since you won't be able to flash the stock ROM if you unroot it first.

2) I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. Try to phrase it better, please. Anyway, I assume you probably already read this, but here's what I find to be the best and simplest tutorial for rooting here: link

3) Yes, you can - but only if rooted. adb commands, on the other hand, will be usable even if the phone isn't rooted. (Thus you can root via adb too.)
