[HTC EVO 3D] Vesnik:
Okay, so before anyone says "Why not just call Sprint and figure it out?" Well the account is under my brother's name and I don't know all of his info and he's not home right now.

Anyways.

I'm really confused about what is going on with my Sprint account. The bill comes in, my brother pays it. Not even a week later I get a text message from Sprint sent to my phone (even though I'm not the leading phone/number, my brother is) saying your account is scheduled to be disconnected due to late payment blah blah blah. I figured hey we just payed this a week ago, I guess it's just a delayed message and my service wont actually be cut off. Nope, 12 am my service is cut off. The weird thing, my brother's service (which is on the same line/account mind you) still works. This is the second or third time this has happened. Why is it acting as if we have two different lines/accounts even though it's all one family plan?

I know there are some people from Sprint on these forums, or maybe someone has actually had this happen to them before. How and why is this happening?
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
That's odd. I've never had that happen. My wife has never even gotten a text from Sprint.

If I've helped you in any way... hit the "Thanks" button.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
It's possible your brother just paid his line and not the whole account, thus your phone is getting shut off but his isn't.
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
No, not from what I know. It would be all lines on the account. I have a friend that works for Sprint in the account support department and I'll ask him. It really sounds like a problem on their end.

[HTC EVO 3D] beatstork:
Well, it might be because you're gay, I don't see any other explanation. Haha J/K!!!

it is kinda weird. The best you could do is give them a call or at least check online.
[HTC EVO 3D] megabiteg:
By any chance, was your accounts individual and later on joined as family plan? There could be issues with your account in their backend server regarding the billing side.

I once saw this happen to some people while working for France Telecom.

If so or even if not try calling and straighting things up, because there could be issues in the billing software even if the difference in activation time was minutes, you just had the lucky system glitch.

I wish I had someone to help me root mine that I could trust.
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
Problem?
[Kindle Fire General] Granite Gargoyle:
That's cheap!

Last time I saw that, someone was charging $30. I wouldn't send my Kindle to a stranger and send $15 on top of that. Just sounds like bad juju.

You need to look around the site a bit. This place is FULL of people that can help you do it yourself. I have only been here a short time but the amount of know how and help given here is great. I instantly fell in love with it.
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
I don't think you send your Kindle, you just sit there as he roots it...

I wouldn't trust my Kindle to a person with handwriting like that :/

Did you watch his video, he's got the camera the wrong way 99% of the time.....
[Kindle Fire General] Buffet_of_Lies:
Oh... and add to all of this that his username on reddit was "DickSmegma" and 5 days ago he was posting there asking how to install CM7 and how it was "all so confusing!" To top it all off he posted his personal phone number on Craigslist!? Apparently he was getting repeatedly text messaged. Nothing wrong with making a few bucks for providing a service but he's also offering to install ICS which is hardly fully-working & reliable at this point.
[Kindle Fire General] MrGert:
There are tons of these ads on Craigslist now...same for jailbreaking an iphone or hacking ps3/360

Everybody tryin to make a buck...I guess if people are willing to pay him...why the hell not :cool:
[Kindle Fire General] gbatt:
I was totally going to call this guy to get me Kindle rooted proper like! But I couldn't read his phone number!
[Kindle Fire General] DickSmegma:
Come on guys, my nails arn't that bad. Jeez, why so much hate? I will explain it like I did to reddit. There are hundreds of posts asking for $50 to root a phone, im only asking 15. KFU makes everything pretty safe. I have managed to root about 8 peoples phones, and 3 kindles without a problem thus far. Im just a college kid trying to make a buck, not a ripoff arist. I check this fourm twice a day for updates and new information. I even donated $20 to jcase 3 days ago before all this drama.

I had a guy email me the other day offering me $50 of I could root his Nook and get netflix to work, and you know what I did? I sent him a article from pcmag.com about last months nook update that allowed netflix.
[Kindle Fire General] Zombiepiratez:
Y u no root it yourself?
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
Not hating brother, if you feel comfortable enough with rooting others Kindles go for it man...

Found this poking around on the web. It's a simple little game which is a great stress reliever. The gist is that you tap on something (only select things are usable) and proceed to whack your boss with it. The ah, whackings, range from just funny to extremely bloody.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lsjreadingpa:
I just restored to stock 1.0.1 and plugged my nook into my pc without a sd card in and it shows the internal memory which is what it should do. What i seen doesn't make sense, all my old files and folders are still there! Now when i restored i made sure to format system data and cache. Why are all my old files still there?? Can i /wipe emmc or do i need to do something else?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lsjreadingpa:
Got tired of waiting for a response, decided to do factory reset and /wipe emmc. Everything seems fine, no previous files from cm7/9 remained.

You did the right thing IMHO.

Sorry nobody replied quickly. There are just too many posts and with past experience I think most users who knew the answer figured you would solve this yourself.
[HTC Desire S] batmite:
hello, I have a problem with a desire s phone which keeps booting into recovery mode when i turn it on. here's my step by step of what I did that got me into this predicament.

the phone had a stock 1.48 asia rom 0.98.0002 bootloader locked, and unrooted. so first I ran revolutionary had no problems there, had a revolutionary logo on my bootloader afterwards and the bootloader version was now 6.98.0002 or something I forget. anyway the next thing i did was I downloaded the stock euro rom 2.10.401.9 and extracted the rom.zip then renamed it to PG88img.zip copied it to the memcard ran fastboot, then fastboot automatically installed the zip after installation restarted the phone, now the phone was stuck on the white htc screen, so I ran recovery press the power and vol up and did a factory reset, had no luck with it still stuck on htc screen, now after reading a lot of threads, downloaded the ENGpg88img bootloader flashed it using fastboot and it was successful, the revolutionary logo was gone and the bootloader was now 6.98.0000 ( PG880000) but now when I rebooted the phone it would go directly back to recovery!! So the next thing i did was ran the euro rom again from the memcard thru fastboot and it updated the bootloader to the newest version and had a "locked"on top of the screen, so i did a boot unlock using htcdev and now its unlocked, then downloaded the clockwork recovery for saga then flashed it using fastboot with no problems. so now when I turn on the phone it goes straight to clockwork recovery! So last thing I did which also failed was I downloaded a pre rooted stock rom euro 2.10, placed it on memcard installed the zip from clockwork recovery then wiped all the data, dalvik cached and all then rebooted. But it still went back to clockwork recovery :( now I'm stumped. Really need help on this one.
[HTC Desire S] batmite:
long story short, I can only use fastboot, and if I use clockwork mod recovery to mount system i can do some adb commands. i also tried putting it in fastboot and ran an official RUu but I always get error 150. any help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] ZdeCh:
It seems that your chip is gone. I have the same problem (boot looping) and had to try reclamation by phone provider. Find thread with "boot looping", or "white screen". You will find some software for a searching of your chip. Finaly all depends on your mobile vendor
[HTC Desire S] batmite:
yeah i thought it was the chip, but after 3 days of tinkering with it and reading a lot of threads :) i finally got everything back to normal. thanks for replying though zdech :)
[HTC Desire S] vrxj81:
Could you tell us how you solved it?
[HTC Desire S] paxel@tlen.pl:
Hi, I have the same problem with HTC Desire.

Could you tell how you solved this please?
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
I don't know if he did what he wrote, but a big mistake was the last step.

he installed ROM and wiped afterwards. Of course it fails at booting ;-)

If you really are in the same situation like him, wiping first and install ROM afterwards should solve the problem ;-)

Sent by my fingers to your head.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Have to disagree with you there, what he said was

installed ROM

wiped DATA

wiped CACHE

rebooted

The ROM ZIP would have been flashed into SYSTEM not DATA, so wipe shouldn't have caused a problem

question is did BOOT flash ok?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I think the cheapest way to keep your number would be to buy a dumb phone and get the most minimum plan you can. I would buy a nexus because you can use it on t-mobile when you get back. I am not 100% sure, but i think gosms is free texting that can text anyone, regardless of app use. For people with smartphones, a great voip app is viber.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidapk.net:
Get your new number and keep your old one. then quickly blast out the new number via SMS to all your contacts. You can use something like what's app to keep in touch for free. All you need is a 3G phone while you are in Japan.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
WhatsApp is great, but it's only really good for sending messages to people that have smartphones and data plans. If someone has a smart phone and data plan, you can easily convince them to install the app, because it's unobtrusive and the messages act like text messages. But it won't help you communicate with everyone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habbit:
lowandbehold

I use GO SMS right now and they have a proprietary messaging feature called GO Chat that only others with the app can use. Viber sounds almost exactly what I'm looking for, except I won't be able to use it with my mom, as she has a dumbphone.

My gripe with the Galaxy Nexus is the lack of a microSD card, another reason why I'm considering buying the Galaxy S II HD LTE, which apparently AT&T will be bringing to us over here as the Skyrocket HD. That would make purchasing one easier and cheaper than buying from overseas.

androidapk.net

By new number, do you mean my Japanese phone number?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesushaxyou:
Set up a google voice account. That's a simple way to be texting anyone you know. Just make sure they have that number. As far as keeping your stateside number, I believe Tmob has a service where you can have your line lay dormant for some period of time. I don't know how long for or what the cost is or anything like that. I think I remember that being an option when I had them.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habbit:
I've done a ton of reading on Google Voice today and I may have come up with a solution, though I don't know if it will work, as I've never used Google Voice before.

It's my understanding that when a number is ported to Google Voice, it ends the service with whoever the provider is, and I do not have to renew service with another cell phone provider in order to keep my number (correct me on this if I'm wrong.) Ironically, my contract with T-Mobile ends a couple days before I am supposed to fly over to Japan.

So when my contract is up, all I simply need to do is port my current number over to Google Voice and I will have the ability to send and receive texts to and from (and here's an important question) anyone... or... only those who have data plans? Someone with a dumbphone or without Google Voice will be able to text me, right?

As for making and receiving calls, I'm look at GrooVe IP as a way to accomplish this while being able to keeping my current cell phone number. Does anyone have any experience with that app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jesushaxyou:
You can text anyone with texting on their plan from GVoice. A buddy of mine has a feature phone and he receives them just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mangelok:
Hi, I'm just wondering if any body could point me in the right direction with regards to solutions to two issues I'm having.

1) On the Juggernaut rom (and I'm assuming most Samsung stock roms although I haven't even tried one), the lockscreen wallpaper is different than the regular wallpaper. I have a collection of wallpapers, and I use a Wallpaper Changer app to automatically change them every ten minutes.

I want the lockscreen/security screen wallpaper to be the same as the homescreen wallpaper so that I can remove the bore factor of having the same wallpaper for more than ten minutes :P. Anybody know any way to accomplish this?

Most ROMS I've seen on other devices aren't like that. I think it's a Samsung "Feature".

2) Also, I'd like to be able to completely disable the lockscreen without disabling the security screen. I've noticed that sometimes after typing my security pin it comes up. Also, using WidgetLocker on Juggernaut sometimes means I have two lockscreens which is undesired.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
I wrote this early in the morning after I finally gave up on the prime. Here is the link to the story.

http://nerdtechnics.com/?p=11

The site is clean, I miss my Prime.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
OK...lol. yeah its better you linked to that story as its more like a blog. Very detailed on your experience. You left everyone hanging though. What they end up doing or you doing after they wouldn't give you cash back for gift cards. It was free gift cards anyways so I would've just pulled the small cash amount out n placed another order. Don't let best buy taint your yearning for the Prime...lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
Haha, sorry, was getting late and needed to end it quickly. I asked the cashier to go get a manager because he couldn't give me cash for the gift card. Manager came over, I just said that I had been over at customer service for the last hour and a half and that I'd like cash for this gift card because i am no longer going to shop at this store.

I just got so annoyed with the waiting game. Anyone I spoke with had absolutely no idea what i was talking about most of the time. Also, the computer guy that came over to check the Prime, he actually says, "why don't you just get an ipad"? I wanted to slam his head against the counter.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
The computer guy saying that is what pushed me over the edge. Maybe it's just me, but if someone brought back the first quad-core tablet, I would NEVER say, why don't you get an ipad. Face slap!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Cool story bro.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jgrimoldy:
Thanks for taking the time to share that story.

I've always detested BestBuy. They're the "Hot Dog On A Stick" of consumer electronics stores. Too well lit... Too plasticky... Forget about getting anything even remotely obscure there -- too few choices on most things.

'Won't even get started on how borderline criminal Geek Squad is. $25(ish) to "optimize" my e-reader?

Being an IT professional, I advise as many folks as possible to avoid that store and go elsewhere... anywhere...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
That's MY story, sort of...

Actually the main difference was, on that Friday when they wouldn't put a Saturday delivery sticker on for you? They went the extra mile for me, and SENT IT GROUND (after I had paid $29 for overnight shipping 4 weeks earlier), causing it to take another

12 days to reach me

in a padded envelope, after riding via Rail from California to North Carolina. The box was quite crushed, though the Prime seemed okay... at first.

oh, and they charged me for the pre-order immediately, even though the policy says "we won't charge until we ship" so I had paid for it almost 6 weeks earlier.

The good news? I got my Prime for free. Yep. BB provided a FULL REFUND. I should be happy yes? Sort of. The Prime ended up RMA'ed, and I am without it once again. The saga continues. It was agreed to send me another one, yesterday, overnight. And yes, I agreed to let them open and test it since I am NOT going to be without it again, but instead of shipping it yesterday - Thursday they forgot... whoops. Now I wait till next week, unless I can get Asus to do a Saturday sticker...This is like the movie groundhog day... it literally never ends.... and I so lived my OG transformer... It's like I am being punished for wanting something more... The Prime I got paused, hung and lagged on virtually everything I did with it. It was cosmetically nice, but never saw a single GPS satellite. Wifi... fair... Light bleed, not terrible, but enough to cause concern, in every way it was ... not much better than my TF101 except in looks, and took a better picture. Not nearly as slick as I had hoped. Looked wonderful with the dock though... Horrible to keep clean. ICS is cool, but again, it lags so often, ... well maybe the nbew one will be better, or enough updates will come along to get things right... sigh
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kingsway8605:
I wouldn't shop at Best Buy, but they are the only place near me that sells the diamond and gold plated HDMI cables to give me better HD. They are worth the $75.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] briderx:
And of course, only if they print the words "Monster" on them.. Cause anything else is just not worth it..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
Thanks for posting this. I am glad to know I wasn't alone. That is pretty awesome that they gave you a free one, hopefully you get it soon! My device did work pretty well. Still got hung up every once in a while but I just couldn't spend that kind of money and not have at least the build quality done well and I am not dealing with that many dead pixels. If it were just a couple, that's another story.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
Haha! Exactly! Bastards.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kingsway8605:
I actually had a Best Buy rep tell me I will "lose pixels" if I didn't get the monster cable. I was about to buy a 55" LG, but left the store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
They seriously shouldn't be allowed to get away with that type of ****. Glad you left the store!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] id10terrordfw:
Maybe that is why I don't get a great signal with my D-Link dual band gaming router, I didn't buy the solid gold packet protecting ethernet Cables! It has nothing to do with having a three floor residence.

On the other hand, I did work there for three years so I do know how to game the system. Due to the one year ADH I have only had to pay 99 a year to upgrade my laptop to a newer version.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Earthbrain:
I know that external storage of SD card is limited to Fat 32 and the max size is around 4 GB. What about internal storage? Can I transfer a 6 - 8 GB movie file onto the internal storage of the 7.7 ?

I have the Playbook and I can certainly put a 6-8 GB movie in it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] princenigma:
I saw a guy put 10GB mkv into /SDCARD

easy

$su

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/sdcard/blob

wait a few seconds and

ctrl+c

:D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] AllGamer:
to overcome the fat32 limitation you can format the sdcard to EXT4 and then copy anysize you want to it

all our phones by default can read linux partitions and fat partitions

if you are running Linux as your desktop PC you would not have any problem copying & pasting files to and from the phone

if you are a windows guy, just install the add-on for windows to read Ext2 partitions
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Earthbrain:
Huh????? I have no idea what you just wrote. Any easy tutorial (step-by-step) how it can be done?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Earthbrain:
I have windows 7 (64-bit) on my PC. What add-on are you refering to? Is it an application that I have to install on Windows 7 ?

or just install linux in a virtual box inside windows

then use the VM USB pass through so when you plug it into the PC it will automatically mount on the virtual Linux box

Please help.

After I run the above program, I don't know what to do next.

All I want to do is able to transfer my 6 GB .mkv movie file to my SD card so that I can either view it on my Galaxy Note or the Galaxy Tab 7.7.

How do I go about doing this? Is there a simple tutorial guide to using the above application? Do I use it to format my micro SD card? Will it work for a 64 GB card?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raziel_Sicily:
The internal galaxy tab 7.7 can take any kinf of file, it dont have de 4gb limitation, but the external sdcard is not readable if formatted in ext4, i have try it and the tab say that the sd is corrupted. I repeat GALAXY TAB 7.7 WITH HONEYCOMB CAN`T READ EXT4 FORMATTED MICRO SD :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Linuschen:
You need use "drive mount" to mount a ext4-formatted sd card.

You can get it from android market.It's free apk.

Here are some of my experience:

1:I use gparted live cd to format my sd card.

2:ext2fsd as windows ext driver.

3:"Drive mount" to mount ext4-formatted sd card on tab 7.7.
