A Lot of steps but this is the cheapest way to enjoy Smartphone without all the hassle of $100 bills

1. Sign up for google voice and get a number

2. Visit Walmart online or in store and buy their $30 plan for 100 minutes, unlimited text, and 5gb of Data (alot)

3. Buy their cheapest lil phone ($30)

4 Activate that lil phone on tmobile.com

5. Get a different android GSM Smartphone (hopefully you already have one)

6. Take the sim card out of the cheap lil walmart phone and place it in your smartphone

7. Go to android market and buy Groove IP ($4)

8. Port your old number to Google voice (optional)

Now you have 5gb of data, unlimited text on both your cellular and google talk and unlimited minutes using Groove IP all for what?

$30/month...minus the walmart phone and the $4 for the app!!!

(only reason why you have to buy the walmart phone is because the plan is exclusive to phones bought at walmart but what you do with it after activation is your business...and then go online to tmobile to re-up the $30 each month...)

No on asked and Didnt know where exactly to post this...but I have done this. And although I had to pay $100 ETF to get out of my old contract...this plan has paid dividends. Im saving $65 a month. Only thing to be cognoscente of is that the Groove IP does use data at about 20kps up and down so if your using service only on 4G you might burn threw your full speed data quickly...I always put my phone on wifi as soon as I get home. Enjoy!:D

Dam, wish we had prepaid plans like those in Canada:(
[General Topics] oinflam3so:
you can work for a corporate store or a third party store and most of the time depending ont the provider you get almost 50% off your bill

This is brilliant! Probably the only thing better is to have someone else (ie. company) paying your phone bill. :)
[General Topics] OnePingOnly:
Nice! Great way to save, OP!
[General Topics] thebobp:
Depending on your luck, you might be able to get away with a Prepaid activation kit ($7 max). It requires a new level of Hell to get working if the signup doesn't work, though (since technically the customer service reps don't have direct access to the plan if that's what you use).

[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
Minimum. It takes small slice of ~15% of cpu processing when running, and pauses when not being displayed like most live wallpapers.
[Android Apps and Games] Wogz:
It's using rederscript, only available in honeycomb and above, just like all live wallpapers in these android releases. I guess your SGS2 will get ICS soon.

I have been testing it with a SGS1 with a custom ics rom. There are some limitations with renderscript that makes me consider rewriting the wallpaper to use more standard API's.

No. This is normal.

Chinese roms have no google market because google and china are in conflict.

Android can live also without android market!

There are alternative markets.

Just install another rom with odin.

Hey guys,

I recently rooted with the Revolutionary.io method, and successfully installed the 3.24 firmware from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

My vibrate is extremely soft, and Wifi/Bluetooth does not turn on with any ROM. I unrooted and went back to stock to see if that would fix, and the Vibrate works, but Wifi/BT still doesn't turn on.

I rooted yet again and am stuck with the Vibe/BT/Wifi problem still. Is there anything I missed?

Thanks!

[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I've only had my 3d for a few days but since day one it has taken forever for my battery to charge to a 100% . It will charge to 99% and stay there for what seems like an hour then when it finally hits a 100% it will start to discharge after about 5 minutes.

My question is, is this normal?

TIA for any help.
[HTC EVO 3D] -viperboy-:
HTC handles charging differently than others. That is normal, don't worry about it. It will discharge a few percent and then top itself off again :)
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I know about the discharge but its the fact that it takes so long to hit a 100% from 99% .

But thanks for the reply I know you have to be busy with all your development.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Mine does that weird part about it is when it dead dead and you throw it on the charger for 9hrs it still won't turn green lol.. :D I may have to let it sit there longer ... When I turn it on says 99% and still charging will hit 100% pretty quick and battery life lasts forever lol... It is normal tho for it to take awhile to hit 100 % and that discharge thing is normal too :D no worrys man..
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
Yeah, I guess it's HTC 'method' to charge the battery, although it makes no sense... I thought maybe it was something to do with the stock battery, so I bought 'Platinum' series 1900mAh the other day and it still does the same things....

Not only taking an hour or so to go from 99 to 100 percent, but when I try to 'calibrate' the battery, it takes an additional 5 or 6 hours it seems. I charge it to 100, turn it off, plug it back in, and wait for the green light to come on again.... two or three hours later, it will finally turn green. If I only let it charge for an hour or so and turn it on, the battery will show 95%... absolutely ridiculous. I don't ever remember the Evo being like that. The battery charging on the 3D is just stupid, in my opinion :rolleyes:

[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
You guys never worked for T-Mobile so you do not know how the system works. Whenever you use a phone, the IMEI registers onto the system BUT the last digit is always incorrect. So when they gave him the IMEI, the last digit is 0 but it is supposed to be 5. The system never has the correct last digit. It's been like that for years.

My phone was stolen*, so I called T-Mobile to get a replacement, and they asked me for my IMEI, but the thing is that when I told them the IMEI, they said that every IMEI ends with an zero, but my phone ends with a 5! What can I do?

* The thing where he was talking about damage was untranslatable, so I skipped it and tried to make the best sense of it.

I am having trouble installing this app (toggleheadset2) on my Desire HD with the new Android 4 (IceColdSandwitch ROM). Suddenly there is no way i can install this app, my device is not campatible (on cm7 it was). The website says that it can run on Android 4.

Is there any other way to get this app on my phone (tried to download the .apk file to try it manually but couldnt find it)? I cant hear anything when someones calls without it.

Thanks for the Help!
[Kindle Fire General] HeliosAI:
Just was wondering. I'm more used to what clockworkmod has so I figured it would be easier to install that instead. But I wanted to make sure it was supported before I went ahead and installed it. Anyone know?
[Kindle Fire General] androidcues:
Yes. ClockworkMod works just fine on the Kindle Fiya. there is no looking back now.
[Kindle Fire General] HeliosAI:
awesome. so i'm ok with installing it straight from rom manager right?

i'm a little paranoid bc a lot of people seem to be posting about bricking their fires.
[Kindle Fire General] gadgetman13:
Unknown. But if you follow the "bricked fire" threads, you'll see that most people find ways to get them back. So I think a lot of folks are at times stuck, but not truly bricked. :) I think the most common problem, and the one that bit me too - is being stuck in fastboot and therefore having the device not accessible by adb. And they, like me, panic a bit and think they've bricked it. Granted, I'm sure there are ways of truly bricking it, but as long as you're patient, I think KFU and the fastboot command can get you out of most problems.
[Kindle Fire General] HeliosAI:
thanks man, gonna go ahead and do it in a bit. fingers crossed :).
[Kindle Fire General] Bmcd37:
Where do you find the CWM files to download?
[Kindle Fire General] HeliosAI:
it installs when you start up rom manager for the first time

EDIT: Woops, just went to install it and it says it's not officially supported yet. Anyone know where to get it?
[Kindle Fire General] HeliosAI:
Looks like there's more to it. Guess I'm gonna be going by this guide to install early CM9:

[Kindle Fire General] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
I thought CWM required the use of hardware buttons?
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
Go to the development section. It says beta but its solid, I did most of the alpha testing for it and doom lord did the port. Is not officially supported by koush. If you know how to use fastboot, you can't fastboot flash recovery.img if u can't figure it out pm me. I'll get u going.
[Kindle Fire General] ndoren:
Agreed. Doomlord's CWM recovery port is awesome. It's touch based and I've tried most every feature and it seems very solid. I installed it in a much easier fashion than most... I just copied it to my SD area and used the dd command to put a copy into the recovery partition. I did this during normal operation of the Kindle.... No fastboot necessary in using that method. Neall.

.
[Kindle Fire General] androidcues:
That method is sketch. Fastboot is the proper way to flash a recovery. Any other way you risk trouble. Wear your rubbers and use the fastboot binary.
[Kindle Fire General] smirkis:
its not sketch, just no room for error.

put recovery.img on the root of ur SD card, than open mobile terminal, than type these commands.

su (enter)

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/recovery (enter)

just don't mistype it, all it does is make a copy directly to the /dev folder.

this is how, rom manager actually puts cwm on ur device.

[Defy General] tronjojo:
Hi,

I thought that to install wiui stable (2.2.3) all i had to do was go to recovery and install from zip to install wiui. I'm coming from CM7.2 quarx, but i didn't think that'd be a problem.

After the first install, it went fine, except there were tons of Force Closes (first for launcher) so i couldn't even use the phone. I then flashed the launcher pro for wiui .zip and then it booted up, but had different FCs (android.media process, and a couple others, i can't remember)

So after, i decided to reflsh to cm7.2, and it's fine. all my contacts are gone, and homescreensetups, etc. but it looks like all my apps are there, mms, call hstory, etc.

I then tried to reinstall wiui again, and now it's stuck in boot loop. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik, i just don't know what else to do.

If anyone can spare the time to help, i'd greatly appreciate it.

thank you
[Defy General] arpith.fbi:
simple method..

flash CM7.2 again..backup all ur apps with the help of titanium backup...

go to recovery...wipe data..then flash wiui..wipe cache and delvik cache...reboot...

install titanium backup..restore all ur apps..

Advice for future..to avoid force closes, always wipe date before shifting to other ROMs!
[Defy General] tronjojo:
Ye thanks, i did that. but when i restored my apps i got the FCs again. maybe something in my data is incompatible w/ wiui? oh well, I've gone back to CM7.2 again. but now i had to use sync[ix app to get all the pics back to my contacts. not sure why it didn't work like it did before.
[Defy General] visualist6x6:
The times I've done that, I've shut down the phone and restart because a simple reboot didn't do the job. Also, I run ROM Manager and fix permissions. I can't tell you the last time I had an FC.
[Defy General] HytestA:
Just restore the apps and not the app data, this is a problem I had when moving from CM7 to WIUI.

First run of WIUI I had loads of FC's. I wiped data, installed zip, wiped cache and dalvic again, then when going through Titanium backup I didnt restore the app data.

I have had no problems since then.

hope that helps, WIUI is really nice ;)
[HTC Sensation] protohamster:
Hi I currently have a unupdated T-mobile Sensation, I have never taken any OTA updates.

If I take the 1.43 and 1.50 updates can I still use Revolutionary IO to get S-Off? I understand the 1.50 updates includes a new H-Boot which Revolutionary IO can't unlock - but is it possible to go from the 1.50 update back to an older RUU (and the original H-Boot of 1.17)?

Thank you for answering my question.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
I would recommend you s off before you do any ota updates. For sure Revolutionary supports h boot 1.17, which is what you should have. I am not sure if Revolutionary supports 1.18 h boot.

Read the guides stickied at the top of the development forum so you don't screw up your phone.

In regard to you question no it would not be possible.
[HTC Sensation] protohamster:
Thanks I think I will just keep it as is right now until CM9 or a complete AOSP rom is released.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yes it supports HBOOT 1.18.0000 and it has done since it was released
[HTC Sensation] ajay83:
EddyOS is right. It does support 1.18.0000. I managed to s-off my branded O2 sensation when I got it back from repair. It was also on 1.50.xxx, I restored it to the STOCK 1.50.401.1 (unbranded) Went back to S-ON and have just recently S-off'd again.

So.... Yes you can =)
[HTC Sensation] protohamster:
so the t-mobile usa 1.50.531.1 update did not update the hboot past 1.18? i thought it was hboot 1.27?
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
S off before updating to h boot 1.27, revolutionary doesn't support it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] warlock257:
Hi

I flashed a new rom on my LG p999 (g2x - wind). I chose cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 [stable]. Overall it seems great. I'm a bit concerned about the cell data speed though. On the previous rom, the indicator said "4g", now it says 'H"

I haven't tested it rigorously, but it doesn't seem really slow or anything. Should I be concerned? Is there something I can do to fix it?

carrier = mobilicity

android version=2.3.7

The icon is what changed. Different ROMs have may have different icons for the type of network, eg, on a 2g connection it may say E for edge.

Another minor issue is that the buttons stay illuminated sometimes when the phone's screen is off (although they are dimmer). Not really a big deal, but kind of odd.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heihei_ivan:
Hi all,

I am using CM7.2(FXP106) on my Xperia arc, with the kernel that comes with it. But I find out that battery drain is much more worse than the stock. 42 ROM. I usually charge the phone to 100% before I sleep, and the phone only uses 3% during my sleep with stock ROM. (stock kernel, cpu is downclocked to 768MHz when screen is off, using conservative governor.) However with CM7.2 my phone consumes more than 10% during my sleep. :( I also downclock the cpu to 768MHz when screen is off the cpu governor is smartassv2. In battery usage, mobile standby and phone idle consume the most. lol (It used to be display with stock rom) Is there any possible workaround? thanks a lot.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glenfiddich01:
ok, i try to give you a view points to check:

read and install this on your phone. I had also a battery-drainer on my phone. i found it and now i´m happy :)

One time, on my x10miniPro the facebook app drain my battery.

Have you clear dalvik-cache before you install the rom? full wipe?

I installed many custom-roms at my x10 miniPro. Sometimes i have also fast battery drain. Then i made a second time a full wipe, clear dalvik cache and install the rom new. This fixed most of the problems.

try this and report :)

I had the same issue, but they closed the Issue at the project-page:

http://code.google.com/p/freexperia...tatus Priority Milestone Owner Summary&id=155

for this reason i changed to Arconium, and.... 1% during a whole night in flight mode, with FXP it was about 10%!

i really miss the additional settings from CM7 but as long as this Problem exists , even if they say its normal, i wont switch back.

:mad:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boudin:
I had exactly the same problem whith CM7.2 FXP107

It was "Cell standby" (I'm not sure it's how it's called in english) that was anormally draining battery. It may be linked to baseband (I was using 64 one).

I had wiped everything possible before, flashed with CM7.2 kernel.

So I swiched to Arconium 7 + DoomKernel 0.18 + baseband 36 with patches. No problem since.

I don't know where the problem came from, it didn't took time to investigate, it was to much of a drain to keep my phone like this.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcyber:
i also tried Baseband -36 and -56 no difference, Full Wipe Battery Calibration and so on, but nothing changed.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
There is no excssive battery drain on CM7.

Flash latest kernel, try different basebands, calibrate the battery sometimes (correct calibration !) and you won't have battery drain anymore.

I lose about 1,5 % in deep sleep and about 5 % with heavy (e.g. streaming, gaming). ;)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcyber:
per hour?

now i lose 1% in 8h flight mode, with FXP it was 10 times more!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
Of course per hour.

I haven't tested flight mode yet (completely useless, imo).

I don't expect any wonders, I can use my device a whole day with everything I want to do without a fear of battery dead. ;)
