I've used serval wp7 roms and found that the fm stereo effect is not so good or not at all(but the low bass is better than stock wm6.5)...To make it clear,it's the swining of the sound from left to right makes you feel wonderful...

BTW,there is a intersting app which is called "3d Audio Experience".that's the experience of the stcock wm6.5 rom I had when listening to fm radio.

WP7 is a awesome OS,all games and musics with really good steroe effect.I am really a "radio lover"...I've been confused weather to post my question here...whatever,maybe this is not an issue at all...Maybe I am asking for more...The radio has clear sound and good bass effect...which is pretty good..

AFter years of playing,I don't just get fun from my phones,also I feel the spirit which those developers have.

Another strange thing is most headphones would have serious static background while listing to programes,but one of mine can get good signal with good quality.Have anyone experienced the same?

well, don't go on the same road i went on, I bought a samsung wave, thinking the vivid colors and hd recording was the real deal, instead after a month or two the hype ended and it became boring.

lack of applications and poor policies of sammies(like no VoIP for BADA OS , no multitasking) made me hate it…same thing will happen to the N9 it is doomed from the start (or least it’s platform) and you think developers would care to make apps for that kind of a niche product and OS

I switched to a Xperia Arc , and it rocked me like a hurricane

I have used the EVO 3D it’s fun but you’ll switch to 2d most of the time rather than 3d(3d photos max out at 2mp I think..not sure) but it’s impressive …but not as sexy as me ARC

I tried searching xda and google and haven't found an answer to this question.

I'm using BLN to make the soft keys flash and that works great, but I'd like it if the screen didn't come on at all when I'm receiving notifications.

Is there an app/tool I can use to turn that off?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ApexZeph:
This has been covered many times but I can see how it would be difficult to search.

The solution is to either use third party texting app (like hand cent) to circumvent the auto screen on or you can do what I did if you want to use stock messaging app and download "SMS popup" from the market, disable stock messaging notifications in settings in your messaging app and setting up your desired notifications through SMS popup instead making sure to disable "screen on for text" feature and any other features you will not be using (I. E. The actual pop up feature)

Also remember to enable led light notification in order to activate bln.

With this method you also will have the added ability to set custom notification tones for specific contacts =]

They should re sync when the account is added again. If not go on a computer and check the contacts in gmail, if they are gone which means they are deleted from the server.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
For all you folks complaining about AT&T capping your download speeds, it appears it's only going to get worse. The federal government so far has not made any progress toward getting additional spectrum available, forcing carriers to make do with what they've got. As the article in the link below notes, "Ultimately, carriers will have to get more creative about how they use their existing spectrum, which will likely result in stricter caps on usage. Consumers who use more data will likely be charged higher prices for that data."

http://news.cnet.com/8301-30686_3-57379526-266/how-politics-inflame-the-spectrum-crisis/?tag=nl.e404

In the short run, you might jump to another carrier, but in the long run, it could get worse for everyone. Lightsquare has been effectively stopped (for now) from building a new wireless network because of the potential for interfering with GPS signals. AT&T has been stopped from acquiring T-Mobile which would have given AT&T more spectrum.

So, as bad as things seem now, this may be the best that they will be.

PS: Also see this article:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rft3ch:
The FCC really needs to figure out how they are going to auction off the spectrum. Also, the whole ATT/T-mobile merger should have gone through. ATT is the only company that is compatible with T-mobile's equipment and can afford them.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] colonel187:
Cingular. Aka ma bell was broken up before for having a monopoly. Monopolies are bad for consumers, if any of you have graduated high school you should know this. Cingular has thus bought all tel, at&t, and now wants t-mobile. Creating another monopoly would not net us any better prices.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bread1485:
Verizon bought alltel
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bread1485:
So your saying Verizon is At&ts only competition ??? Lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
Cingular was not Ma Bell, it was a seperate company that purchased the failing wireless portion of At&t. Which was then purchased back by att, which wad really a rebranded SBC

Also Verizon purchased Alltel.

Good story though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] PakAttack1994:
How does the merger or buy out of T-Mobile from AT&T help the consumer in any sense? Less companies out there competing, the higher your prices are gonna be, simple as that. If verizon goes, all those consumers have to go somewhere....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
One reason AT&T wanted to buy T-Mobile was to use its network to more rapidly expand its LTE network. Also, the two systems are compatible in some ways, making a transition easier.

As to competition as a way hold down prices, the major carriers (AT&T and Versizon) already control most of the market with T-Mobile and Sprint dividing a much smaller portion. Price comparisons I've seen usuaally show Verizon higher than AT&T for similar plans.

The main point I was making in the original post was that prices are likely to rise for all carriers in the long run as demand increases faster than the ability of the government and the carriers to provide adequate spectrum. The main concern should not be how many carriers there are, but whether the carriers (2 or 20) can meet the growing demand for high-speed services.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] colonel187:
You got me about all tel, its another company I can't quite get off the tip of my tongue. Anyway.

Yes Verizon is the only real completion at&t has, tmo and sprint are too small. AT&T wireless was formed by by AT&T

AT&T wireless was doing so well they split into their own company. Sbc acquired Cingular which. At&t & Cingular were the two major companies in competition with Verizon but norther had the customer base alone to match Verizon.

Cingular bought at&t wireless and sbc bought at&t landline. Owning the rights to the name now Cingular and sbc changed their name to at&t thus gaining the same or a little more customers over Verizon. Sbc and at&t came to be when ma bell was forced to split due to monopoly.

Gobbling up the missing prices of ma bell and some small stragglers is creating another monopoly.

Just like the cable companies in many areas. There is only one and they raise there prices almost every other month. Only competition its satellite that forces you to sign contacts.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NIKKG:
This is why I'm glad the Tmobile merger was stopped or else things would've only gotten worse. The Government actually needs to break up Verizon and AT&T now since they are too big as it is and doing price fixing with each other.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
However, that does not really address the basic issue here -- as data usage grows with more people using more wireless devices, the available spectrum/band-width (as it exists now) probably will not be able to keep up with the demand.

Economics 101: when demand exceeds supply, prices go up. Increasing the number of companies selling wireless service will not necessarily increase the amount of bandwidth available.

My point, is that the government, which ultimately controls wireless frequencies, has not acted in a timely manner to address the issue (with the exception of stopping a company that wanted to add more bandwidth).

I feel sorry for those on AT&T's old unlimited plan who are getting throttled.

Capping plans appears to only benefit the carrier as they make millions off those who go over the capped amount.

I used 2GB in a two days on Telstra's 4G network.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
So AT&T tries to buy T-mobile for $35 BILLION, but cant afford to upgrade their network. What a bunch of ****.

How can I see if Im getting throttled? I can do a speed test and get a good speed, but browsing is slow.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ecky319:
Telstra is looking to shaping customer when they go over their limit in a couple of months. This was announced last year. As per existing solution it will Text you when you are near the cap. I beleive that once you are capped you can purchase once off topups.

So examples are:

$49 Plan gives 1G for month, with $450 for Voice SMS

$59 gives 1.5G with $550 for Voice (free SMS /MMS)

etc

Once the shapping solution is deployed you can:

1. Not spend any more and manage to how much data you have for the month.

2. Purchase a once off data top up .

$10 = 1 Gig

$20 = 2 Gig

etc

3. Move to a offer that provide more data each month

Once implemented there will no longer be bill shock. You can then choose eactly how much you spend on data.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lostsoul1:
so when will they do this for home internet.. haha
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ecky319:
In Australia Fixed broadband for Telstra has been capped for several years for consumer plans. So no bill shock possible on Fixed data.

As per previous post need to wait a couple more months until this capping is available for Mobiles. Then bill shock will be removed for fixed.

I don't beleive any smart long term techo believes Bill shock generates revenue it just drives loyal customers away, that might choose to use them for the next 30 years.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
What did you backup with? If you backed it up after installing CWM then it was probably already gone (which is why I don't have it).

In the ROW instructions they cleverly added this line to the install instructions:

cp /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.backup

which creates a backup of the file in /system/etc/

If you did this then you should be able to copy the file install-recovery.sh.backup from /system/etc/ using root explorer or adb.

I have the US 32GB version, I'm not sure if the files are the same but I would guess that they are. Anyway if you can get the file that would be great.
