[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
I understand its gauged locally, but how is it measured? Everyone is on a different billing period. Mine starts on the 1st while yours starts on the 15th. By the 30th, I've used 5gb and you've only used 2gb. How do they compare your usage with mine and get an accurate (I use that term loosely) estimation of who's in the top percentage at a specific time when they send you that text? The only thing that makes sense to me is them monitoring your usage after your period ends? Or unless it like what op said; random warning texts @ 2gb or so.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
I signed it. I haven't gotten the letter because I'm always on wifi, but at&t's throttling people for such low amounts of data is wrong. The throttled speeds seem to be unusable too.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
Thank you to everyone for helping put up a fight..

and yes.. there "throttled" speeds are basically unusable.

I couldn't even access the market when they throttled my speeds.

ridiculous!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
Signed it. AT&T should put in just as much effort in investing in better network capacity as they are in taking it out on customers.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The Jack of Clubs:
if they did like tmobile and gave a fixed limit like 5%, i would have less of a problem. still stupid.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] malicenfz:
I guess I'm one of the luck ones at 2GB
[Samsung Infuse 4G] boborone:
I switched to Sprint. Got tired of throttling. I do miss the speed when I had it. Albeit for the week of 3G. But sprint is doing me good otherwise.

This would explain why I have not gotten this and I have had near 5gig months because of Pandora at work and they do not have Wifi on my floor. I live in the Chicago market. Guessing there is some very high users in my area.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
I have 2gb of data a month, I never use more than 400mb a month. Wifi is all you need!

Sent from my Official Gingerbreaded Samsung Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
You honestly don't expect everyone else to use data the way you do. I use wifi whenever I can, which is as soon as I get home or when I'm in class. The remainder of the day I'm at my office, or driving around using maps/navigation, emails, browsing, Facebook, words with friends, etc. So I don't have wifi. And no, I'm not gonna hunt around for a Starbucks or Mc Donald's just to hook up to wifi that has lower speeds than my 3G; its just ridiculous.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
In my opinion It's Stupid to stream any type of media while your away from your house on a Data connection! You know it's gonna use a ridiculous amount especially if your gonna sit there and stream HD videos over Data! Why wouldn't At&t have a right to throttle your usage, Pure waste. Using GPS and and other type of map software is a less of a waste. Most of you with 16GB sd cards and higher know better! Store all your music and videos on it, that's what its for. Facebook, Email, and some of your multiplayer games use **** for data, nothing barely gets wasted. With your facebook, email, and multiplayer games you shouldn't even go over 1GB of usage a month. Also Note for those sitting their listening to Pandora on their Data connection. Each song is between 3mb-6mb. How many songs do you listen too now multiply that and see how much your wasting.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] The_Zodiac:
i got this one month and at the time i was only at 1.4 gb! wtf
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mariusvt:
Sorry but you're wrong. While streaming Netflix or other video all day can be wasteful I see nothing wrong with those of us who use Pandora, spotify, radio,etc streaming. I stream radio 5-6hours a day at work and only end up at 3-4gb a month. Can't use wifi at work because it's a govt institution which blocks streaming sites.

Smart phones were meant to be used, its not our fault att, Verizon,etc fail at upgrading their networks to handle the load that increases with every phone sold.

I tapped, I talked
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
good luck with this at&T and all the others could give 2 ****s about a petition
[Samsung Infuse 4G] veener79:
Agreed. I love being able to listen to Sirius and Pandora at work. It is such a great way to find new music. If my work had WIFI for me I would be using that. I am just happy their upgraded the tower by work. I was at 1.5mbps and now I am getting on average about 5.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FIREONHIGH:
I going to try tmobiles 30$ a month plan for unlimited data and 100 mins,right now i have 200mb,lol,,,,i would love to stream pandora alllllll day at work
[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
Bottom line is not everyone gets to hook up to wifi all the time. I don't stream music or videos on 3G, other than the occasional YouTube videos. I agree that 10gb, even 5gb is unnecessary, but even those who uses only 3 or 2gb are being throttled. And you know what sounds like pure waste? Paying for 2gb and only using 400mb.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] boborone:
They throttle just like at&t

200 MB 4G only and throttle you after 2 GB of total data.

+my sig goes here+
[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
Cool, but as op already mentioned: although this petition might not have an impact, he/she rather try than lay down and take it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
You need an attotney to read you the contract. Unlimited data is what you have but I believe in the fine print, who ever your carrier is does mention this about throttleing . If they didn't, they would have a lot of lawsuits in their hands. Thats why, before signing a contract you need to read it carefully and make sure you understand it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
Been monitoring my usage, I only pay $45 a month. I might downgrade my data to save more. T-Mobile is more ****ing wasteful than any company I've ever used. T-Mobile is not an option to Unlimited Data. I was paying $85 for a piece of **** Blackberry 8520 with unlimited everything and the phone didn't even have 3G, I'm saving $40 being off that company. T-Mobile likes to steal money and charge you for unnecessary costs, for those using T-Mobile I'd watch your bill if I were you. Been with T-Mobile for 6 years and all I can say is Horrible Service, I went thru 4 Blackberry phones, their phones are just as horrible as At&t's.

Edit: Only returned my Infuse 1 time so far only cause I was having weird issues with my touchscreen acting up and scrolling and tapping things by itself, On my 2nd phone and so far this issue has not come up in the 2 weeks I've had it. We'll see just how bad these phones are compared to T-Mobile.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] boborone:
Can't blame bad RIM design on T-Mobile.

+my sig goes here+
[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
I understand its fine print and perfectly legal. Under certain circumstances its actually necessary. It becomes problematic when users think they're being more than modest at 2 gb or even 1.5gb and are still subject to throttling.

I apologize if I came off even remotely hostile towards your previous posts. Last thing I want is customers debating with each other over a now flawed data network system.

Regarding tmo, I rarley ever hear anything negative about them, but then again, somethings gotta explain why they're #4 and looking for a way out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
Even Sprint has prohibitions on certain types of data usage. There is no such thing as "do whatever the hell you want" Data usage. That's why I mentioned reading the contract in the other thread where the tough guy got all butt-hurt.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stout187:
2.5 gigabytes. Currently throttled. Unuseable
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
thank you. well said.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
see this is what I am talking about... I can see throttling users that use an enormous amount of data... but 2.5GB... come on... that is totally reasonable.. and should not be subject to throttling on an "unlimited" data plan.

this is ridiculous. yes this petition may not do much. but maybe it will raise awareness that we are not going to lay down and take it. We want to be heard and not let them push us around...

Soon they will be throttling us at 1GB... They are trying to force all the unlimited plans to switch.

Lets TRY to do something about it, and maybe we will be heard and something... anything will happen... instead of getting bulldozed by another major corporation.

Thank you again for your time.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
The whole idea is that there tiered plans actually have more data for you to suck down and you are guaranteed never to be throttled.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] johnboatcat:
They got the wrong guy this time.

Shepherd Smith on FOX News got the 5% letter today and is pissed. He just let them have it on the 7 o'clock news. Mucho bad PR for AT&T. Funny as hell!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
What was he at? Gigabytage wise?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PeartFan40:
To say it's wasteful to stream music or video is silly. I'm paying good money for that data, and I intend on using it as I choose. Data is data, whether it be over WiFi or a mobile data connection. I stream music and HD youtube videos, download huge data files from torrent clients, etc. from my WiFi connection at home; is that wasteful too? As for filling up my phone's storage space and SD card with music, that's not gonna happen, because that is reserved for Custom ROM's, MODS, and taking 1080p videos and pictures with my Galaxy S II. :D

I find it ironic that AT&T throttles data, but bundles their smartphones with Live TV and Music apps, which require data. You can't even buy a smartphone without a data plan these days. The hipocracy here, is that AT&T heavily promotes devices designed to use a data plan, then throttles that data when it's used. Figure that one out...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] malicenfz:
My contact is up in April, been using AT&T since it was Cingular and once my contract is up I'm gone! Where are you guys switching to?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] lolote:
What da hell thinking AT&T
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
Don't worry... most rank and file AT&T employees are questioning the stupidity of what AT&T is doing. This is bad publicity and only points out that the DOJ and FCC was correct in blocking the T-Mobile merger.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
I have to stick with att.... my parents love them (been with them ever since they started making cell phones). The nice thing about being so loyal is we can do anything, maybe get the note extremely cheap. If i were you, i would switch your lucky. When you switch though, stay with them a long time. Then, getting money chopped off and such becomes extremely easy to do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] p00kienrayray:
Been with them for 12 years and although I do have the power to negotiate for certain things like early upgrades, I wouldn't say I can do anything I want.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PeartFan40:
I've been with AT&T since before the Cingular days, with more than 40,000 roll over minutes piled up. My father has been with Verizon since the mid 90's and he has 450+ lines for his paper manufacturing business. They emboss paper, manufacture foil gift wrap, print holographs for Fleer ® trading cards, print, emboss, and cut paper for Hallmark Cards & American Greetings, and cut, print, and coat paper for Verizon lol. (Ironic). When he has a problem, Verizon pretty much gives him whatever he needs. But to the single, double, triple line folks, AT&T, Verizon, etc. don't care about losing contract renewals, because for every line they lose, two new customers sign new contracts. They only care about you for the first 30 days, but once you're past the 30 day trial, they could care less because they get money either way through ETF's. Unless of course you have a business account with 50+ lines. This info came from a high level Verizon employee.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] tamelion1117:
Carriers will never admit this, but they do it because their networks, which they supposedly invest millions dollars in cannot handle the bandwidth, so they give you two options.. Get a ****ty tiered data package and just use wifi everywhere or suck it up and deal with them throttling you.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scyld:
Hey, it's cheaper than actually reinvesting in network infrastructure, which would cut too terribly into their profit!

I don't think online petitions work, and whoever wrote the text of this petition did a horrible slap-dash job

But I guess there's no harm in signing it.

If you can believe it, I'm actually a new AT&T customer, but I came from Verizon, who aren't much better. It's been good so far, and I'm hopeful none of their shenanigans will affect me anytime soon :p

Hi everyone

I fancy trying google wallet in the uk and dont fancy rooting my galaxy nexus. Whats the cheapest nfc android handset i could buy and install wallet on? 2nd hand ebay deal recommendations are good :-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sky_net:
i dont noe about the cheapest but you can try the nexus s. it comes pretty cheap nowadays
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijos:
Hey guys, is there a way to calibrate the nexus s touchscreen? Sometimes it is unresponsive...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijos:
Anybody? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biotecsoul:
unresponsive? Maybe you just need to make a good wipe and fresh instal of your rom/kernel..

no?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijos:
I don't think so because it happened since gingerbread 2.3.6, and now i have brainmaster's stock 4.0.3 with eugene's kernel and still happens sometimes... and i did a full wipe before flashing ICS.

i used the nook screen calibrator from the market...it worked fine for me

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedijos:
I'll give it a shot and let you know, thanks. BTW, on the market i've found Nook Screen Recalibrate, it is the same as you used, right?

Edit: I've tried the app and it managed to improve the touchscreen response, but didn't solve my problem at all (phantom touches). But they're almost gone. Is there any other app like that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSteveDoe:
Found anything else mate? I ran NSR, still have phantom touches :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcaliari:
Same thing with mine. The phantom touches are only vertical but the device has become unusable.

I'm installing Cyanogenmod 10 now. Let's see if that helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcaliari:
It didn't help. touch seems to work but if I hold the touch the touch sensor goes crazy and starts touching several random points in the screen, all in the same vertical as the place I touch.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Replace the screen, sounds like a physical issue to me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcaliari:
Could be but since the problem started after I ran the Nook Screen Recalibrate my first suspicion was the program.

I'm trying several different solutions from other threads and none seems to work:

- TouchRecalibrate.apk

- calibration.ini

- ts_calib-signed.zip
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
If you wipe everything and flash a rom, there's no way it's a software issue.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcaliari:
Well, it's working now. I don't know exactly what soved the problem but in my despair I re-executed all procedures and something must have gone right. Wish I could tell what fixed it for others but I really don't know.

Thanks for the help polobunny
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murakuchi:
Same problem

Hey,

I got the same problem,

so I did some research, I found out that there lots of people got the same problem.

A wipe, or install an other kernel or rom will work, but it will for some reason return.

For some models it's enough to install a kernel with some other touchscreen preference. One problem, it will only work on android 2.3 there are not jet other newer kernels published

But 99% its not a screen problem, so u can buy a new screen and replace it with no success. But most of the people say it's a hardware problem. So modify the touchscreen driver.

sorry, bad english​
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] slaydog:
What do you guys think of it? Should I get it when I get my Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phillyrican:
how much is it and what dose it cover i never heard of this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] droidal:
I'm getting it in case 1 year down the road my phone accidentally falls in the toilet and I have to get a store credit and get the Note 2. ;)

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

It's $9.99 a month or $170 up front for 2 years and covers breakage. If the phone is un repairable they give you store credit to buy another one of your choice or you can get a refurbished phone like you had. Does not cover theft or loss.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Corvette06:
Geek Squad Black Tie Protection covers essentially everything aside from a lost or stolen device. This includes, but is not limited to drops, spills, battery issues, charging issues and manufacturers damage. Best Buy Mobile will give you two options for getting your phone taken care of. The default option for most phones, and what most BBYM reps will default to is our rapid exchange program. This gets the phone back to you as a high quality refurbished phone in 3-5 days.

However, the option to send your phone in for a repair instead of rapid exchange is also an option. The repair option will do exactly what it sounds, and attempt to repair your phone. If it is deemed not cost effective to repair your phone, Geek Squad will contact you to inform you that your phone has been junked out, and to come back to the store to receive a new phone. This process takes generally 2-4 weeks.

With either option, while the phone is out, you can be issued a loaner phone to use. This will require a $50 deposit, which is refunded to you upon returning the loaner phone to Best Buy Mobile.

I hope this helps your decision about the addition of Geek Squad Black Tie Protection! Make sure you highly consider the Buy Back program as well, since the full retail price of the Note is so high. With the Buy Back program, you pay a one time fee of $60 (or $30 if you get it with GSBTP) and get a guaranteed trade in value on your phone. At 2 years, you get 20% of the full retail value ($150) however, if you trade it in earlier, you will get up to 50% of the full retail value. I assure you that the BBYM rep will be more than happy to go over these plans with you!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] awdrifter:
I'm considering buying a HTC Vivid from AT&T, from what I've read, the bootloader for the AT&T Vivid is locked, but it is possible to temporarily unlock it. I also plan to overclock my phone, I've found custom kernels that can overclock the vivid, they say that the phone needs to be rooted. But is a temp root going to give me enough access to install the overclocking kernel? I have jailbroken consoles and HP Touchpad, but I haven't really played with Android or Linux. So if please excuse me if my terminology is used incorrectly. Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pside15:
You can unlock the bootloader through HTC'S dev site and get perm root. Just follow the superguide in the development section and you will be good to go.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] awdrifter:
Thanks for the info. I'm new to this, after I rooted the phone, how do I install the app? I have an apk file and I tried using the Android Central SWM, but it doesn't work with my phone. I have also enabled the Applications from Unknown sources. But there's no way for me to install.

Edit: I saw that it installed an app called Superuser, but I can't install any apps through Superuser, do I need to put the apk file in a specific folder in order for Superuser to recognize it? Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
you have some reading to do......
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] awdrifter:
That was helpful. :rolleyes: I was just looking for a way to install apps to my phone. So far it seems like maybe I can modify the .bat script from the temp root method to install .apk files that way, but that seems risky and I don't want to mess up my brand new phone.

Seems like this is the wrong site to ask, this is a developer site, so I guess I'll ask this somewhere else.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
no, you just need to use some logic, and this little thing called SEARCHING

you want to install apps on your phone?

you just put them on your sdcard or download them from the phone itself, open a file manager, browse to the apk file and click on it. it will ask to install..... you are making this out to be way harder than it is. and you did not need root for that to take place. its a function of the OS, you dont need the computer in order to install apps.....this is all basic android stuff you could learn by using GOOGLE....

and you are right, this is a developers site, it is not a hold-my-hand site for noobs.....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slapshot30:
No need to ask anywhere, google is your friend. Installing apps is very easy, and rooting isn't even necessary. As PG already said, it's as easy as using a file explorer, and also checking that box in the settings about unknown sources.

http://maketecheasier.com/install-applications-without-the-market/2011/01/28
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] awdrifter:
Thanks for the link, those methods are definitely easier than what I did. I edited the temp root .bat file to copy the .apk file to the phone's internal memory, then I used Astro brower to browse to that directory, then install it from there.
