Thats why I left sprint...they crippled...errr completely removed tethering from my Palm device. I used to be able to tether via bluetooth, then one day was greeted with a message to contact CS. when i called to inquire about the loss of functionality, they told me that they now only offer that service functionality for their new top of the line devices (at the time was the Evo 4G). I told them that they need to change the name of the "Simple Everything Data" Plan, to the "Almost Everything Data" Plan. I was so angry I broke contract and canceled service right then and went to TMO. I 2nd what you say about sprint.
[Networking] NewZJ:
They only send that letter if you abuse roaming (which is outlined in your ToS) they do not send the letter if you overuse sprints network

Thanks for trying, stop trying to sound innocent and making sprint look like the bad guy
[Networking] MindlessLeadership:
Have you ever heard of a fair use policy?

Sprints network has very little bandwidth 3G wise due to using outdated tech, so if your a heavy user on 3G it affects their other users.
[Networking] thaiceman:
This is the easiest way out of any contract download several gigs of data (while roaming) in a few days on your phone and they will gladly kill your contract for you.**

Personally I bought roam control (for CDMA only) for my phone just so I could force it to roam (in my valley sprint service sucks) so while I'm home I force it to use Verizon's network which as you might guess makes Sprint real happy :D

-Ice

**I suppose I should add that I do not endorse this method for getting out of your contract & trying this method may end badly (500 page long multi-thousand dollar bill) if they catch on to what your doing.
[Networking] Damasterjj:
lol, you must be using a lot of data!
[Networking] eltormo:
Fair use means that if i am sold something as unlimited i should use it in that way.

That so call fair use policy is only fair on Sprint and T-mobile not on customers which are the ones that pay the monthly fee,and the reason why those companies exist,without me and you and the other sprint is just a bunch of empty useless antennas.

Is not my fault that they use outdated tech,in fact when i bought my Epic 4G touch 2 days ago no one from Sprint told me their network was as slow as 1998 DSL connections,and that their tech was outdated and that their wimax network is nothing but fake crap that only very few people can take advantage of.

They told me the phone was great and that the network was fast,not to mention the whole 4G crap hipping.

The only problem i see here is Sprint fault not his fault,is not his fault that Sprint used outdated tech i am sure no one when he bough the phone told him,hey we have and old crappy network so don't use it to much,even that is the only one advertised as ""Truly"" Unlimited and uncapped.
[Networking] smacko:
pretty lame company, offer you "unlimited" then complain you are downloading too much WTF
[Networking] pottedplant73:
I don't understand why 'unlimited' is supposed to be Sprint's big selling point. Their 3G speeds are pathetic in most places, and even when the coverage map shows you squarely under 4G, you probably won't get it--especially if you're inside any sort of building, or God forbid, in a car.

I personally wanted 5GB of fast, reliable bandwidth than all you can eat crap, so I left.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
I worked in a Sprint store before, and even before that, I received one of these letters. As someone stated above, it only applies to roaming, which costs them a lot of money once you pass your allowed amounts. They have an agreement with Verizon and roaming (and Verizon has one with Sprint). The rules are:

- 300 MB of roaming

- More than half of your minutes used for 3 consecutive months are roaming minutes

- Most of your text messaging (although I'm not sure on this one)

Chances are, you're either using a PRL hack, Roam Control (which is now off the Market I believe), or you just live in an area with ****ty Sprint signal. If the latter is the case, just save yourself the trouble and switch to another provider.
[Networking] tekknozid:
Haven't had any problems with sprint other than hitting their bandwidth throttle. Seemed to limit my down rates to 300Kb/s at first then just cripple to a trickle after that.
[Networking] lykos:
Did you have a high spike in usage? Did you move into a highly populated area?

These could be why. For example; 25GB, 41GB, 33GB, 44GB; Those are my usages for the last 4 billing cycles. I transfer a lot of data over wifi, my home network, and other networks. Along with solely high quality video and audio [MOG, Rhapsody] streams. I've never received a letter or complaint.
[Networking] inflewence:
Just got a letter from sprint saying exactly what the OP said. Not roaming but "unlimited data" usage. I'm always on 4g and I used about 109gb of data this month. They said if I don't control it they will terminate my contract. That's a lot of data I know but unlimited is unlimited!!! F them!
[Networking] Product F(RED):
Even I would argue against you dude. 109GB is an insane amount. They mean unlimited to a reasonable amount. My friend goes to 60GB and doesn't get warned. You must've went crazy with your data to make them warn you.
[Networking] chrischoi:
If it does happen, just start up a prepaid number somewhere and port it out. Then port it back into Sprint. They have no say then.
[Networking] jman42028:
just to clarify, as I work for sprint currently:

Updating your PRL does nothing, other than tell the phone which towers have lower roaming costs. (on sprint)

Verizon doesn't roam on any network. (I was a verizon manager as well) If you have a vzw phone, you won't roam at all.

If your using 109 gb's a month and complaining about sprint saying something to you, I would reccommend getting an actual home internet connection instead of using it for tethering so much.

As far as the roaming stuff, yes, if you roam a ton while with sprint, they can release you from the contract, but its not an automatic thing. A lot of times you will have to call cs a few times (because sprint CS sucks, and are a bunch of morons usually) and have them pull the account and see how much you are roaming and how many dropped calls, ect, are.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
I was a technician at both Sprint and Verizon and I can tell you Verizon roams on Sprint. It happens a lot on my campus.
[Networking] Imaginos:
Oh, sweet. This argument again. Please read the 'unlimited' agreement you have with Sprint. Please note the conditions which apply. Please note what specific data activities you are permitted in the agreement. Note also the prohibited activities. Finally, pay close attention to the bottom of this contract where you electronically signed and acknowledged/agreed to all the conditions which they are well within their rights to enforce.

109gb of data is quite a bit. How does one's handheld use that much data in a month?
[Networking] Product F(RED):
Tethering, obviously. I'm ok with tethering to a reasonable amount (ie to browse the web for a little while when there's no connection), or even to download a couple of gigs (on 4G) but 109GB is ridiculous and I side with Sprint in this case.
[Networking] 4ktvs:
Verizon throttled me for using 89GB ONE time, and then throttled me at 12gb. Now I have only used 5GB on my verizon phone so they don't come down with the throttle hamer of doom. Just giving a heads up that verizon is not true unlimited.

[TouchPad General] Stroid01:
actually had issues with my adb shell today so i dug around and found this webpage http://ergh.org/cmtp/ third section has usb drivers for the tp I went ahead and uploaded them with this post but the site is helpfull. Aside from that this site has really usefull uptodate information in a nice neat space. I simply downloaded the usb_driver.zip and updated the driver in device manger rebooted and adb worked. Keep in mind you need to have android debugging on ...

And MTP wont work if you have debugging on so when you want to use MTP you need to disable android debugging in the development section under settings.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maudiefech:
Hi guys, again here.. I read quite a lot about unlocking bootloader and I already know that it is re-lockable but once unlocked the DRM is gone. My question is just about the DRM...

- This DRM is specific for Sony Ericsson apps, like Track-ID, or will I have problem with other apps I bought from Market?

- Will I still be able to buy apps from Market?

- Does someone know which applications, despite Track-ID, I will lose?

Thank you guys!

OBS: Just one more question I see a lot of threads with Arc (LT15) firmwares with the title "arc/arc S". Can I flash a LT15 fw on a LT18? Like cyanogen, they just have a fw for LT15.. Can I? Thanks
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
I unlocked my bootloader via the se site about seven months ago and it hasn't really affected anything I use/used. Track ID still works, though I prefer soundhound anyway. Google movies won't let you purchase anything, but that comes with root anyway. Obviously this is my pov, there are probably other issues I'm unaware of as I don't purchase music from se directly, or apps.

Any rom should work for both lt15/18, check the op first though ;-)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefy009:
The other option to unlock bootloader is to contact Jinx13

It is a paid method but it keeps your DRM keys and won't effect upgrading when ICS comes
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rashid.fairus:
if you afraid of unlocking,just dont do it,cause if anything happen you will ended blaming xda devs,and that isnt sweet mate..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcMan09:
but we can relock the bootloader then use the ota ics update can be done..!!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
No, because DRM is lost I guess

FlashTool will do the job
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maudiefech:
hey thanks you all =D... I think I'm going to wait a little more for official releasing of ICS, and then If I'm not satisfied I'll do the unlocking to flash CM. I'm just interested in this method using setool, but if I unlock my phone using this, will I still be able to flash using Flashtool, and even SEUS or PC Companion when ICS official releasing comes?

[HTC Wildfire S] hmx_ryan:
Hi, I have an Asia Version of HTC Wildfires S with HBoot 0.9 (I think?:confused:) previously installed... When I heard that there is an Unloocked to HBoot Solution coming from HTCDev, I opted to do some reading... However, for me to unlocked my HBoot, I need to update my Phone to 2.3.5 with HBoot 1.08... Which I did a Stock ROM Install of HTC's RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed then applied the HTCDev Unlocked procedure.. Before taking other actions to root the device, I encounter problem with my touch screen pannel...

The touch screen is fine if I'm at my workplace where we have a WiFi and 3G...

If I'm in the house, no wifi and only GSM, the touch screen starts to deteriorate... First column not to function is the column of search button (the one with magnifying glass icon), yes, the entire column won't. Then its followed by the Menu Button Column, until the Home button column only remains functional...

Now, if I'm back at the office, again, all them functions very well... I tried to apply the fix found here

Tried reinstalling the Stock ROM, then still, problem occur in our house...

Hope you could help me solve this puzzle...Pleaseee
[HTC Wildfire S] hmx_ryan:
I tried yesterday to install CWM and CM7 to my WFS...Everything went well... Hoping that my problem would be solved by Custom ROMs... However, when I got backed home, or even in the grocery store, where theres no WiFi, my touch panel starts the problem again...

Right now I'm in the office, with WiFi, the phone's touch panel works perfectly well again...

Is it possible that there's a background process that requires WiFi all the time?
[HTC Wildfire S] Wolf Pup:
When you have got WiFi, try a factory reset.

I installed Wuiu the other night and now when I try to restore a back up that I had previously had saved on my phone it just says "no files found" What did I do?! Did the ROM update my CWM and now the files are not compatible or what? If this is the case how can I find out which version of CWM i had and how can I get that back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
If I guess correctly, what happened is the sd cards are now mounted differently. You just need to find the backup directory with astro or some other root able file manager and move it to the correct sd card. I can't remember if the external is emmc or the internal one is. But whichever is which you just need to move the backup folder to the correct sd card. Sorry I can't give more detailed instructions, as I don't use wiui but if I remember right its based on cm7 file structuring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
In cwm, there should be two option to restore from. Go to backup and restore and then the third or fourth option down should be restore from internal.

I am having this same problem now... except I'm missing 1.90GB after a botched install and i know it's there on the sd cause link2sd is showing that it's being used even though I haven't linked anything to it yet after a fresh install of everything even wiping my sd and recreating the fat32 and the ext2 the missing GB are still gone.

C'mon HTC, leak, baby, leak!!!
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Gotta reboot the phone to fix the streaming or go back to a GB based rom.
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
A2DP is a critical feature for me. That is a main reason I'm keeping my Rezound stock until 4.0 is released. Then I will consider the value of rooting and flashing ROM's once I have had a chance to use Sense 4 on top of ICS.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
I'm on GB, and with my girlfriend's Durango with uConnect (brand new car), I can connect bluetooth and make phonecalls without issue.

But when I stream music, the stereo seems to put out like 5 seconds of music at a super high rate of speed ,then waits a few seconds, then again, then waits a few seconds, then again.

IT's like instead of hearing Nirvana, I hear Alvin & the Chipmunks for every second or two and silence the rest of the 5 seconds.

Anyone else have this problem on Gingerbread like I am? I am on the latest OTA kernel that 2.01.whatever it is.

Awkward though!
[HTC Rezound] M0$t4f4:
I got my Jaybird Bluetooth buds a couple of days ago and every I disconnect them I have to restart my rezound to get them to stream music again, that's the only fix I found for my ICS 4.01

[HTC Rezound] racinwarrior:
on ICS 4.0.1 BT audio streaming works once after a reboot. anytime the devices are disconnected you will need to reboot the rezound. Phone calls work fine

on ICS 4.0.3 BT audio streaming does not work. phone calls work fine.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Nope. BT music streaming worked in my car, Gen 3 Prius with stock stereo, with stock ROM & kernel and is currently working with Ineffabilis GB and all kernels I've tried (stock, dsb and AnthraX).
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
The GB ROMs work fine. It's not necessarily true on the working once after a reboot. There's other factors at work. I tested this extensively while I was running Nils business sense and there were times I would get it to stream two or three times in a day without a reboot. There were other days it wouldn't connect at all without the reboot. I finally got tired of messing with it and jumped back to GB. This was on a Kenwood head unit with an add on BT module.

How do I fix my bluetooth audio streaming ? It used to work on gb but with ICS using the stock music player songs won't start

Thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
That was from two months ago. Could you give us a little more specific information.
[HTC Rezound] iozzo:
Ops. Sorry for that.

Since I have flashed my Samsung S2 into a rooted ICS via odin I can't no longer stream music via bluetooth to my car audio.

This was a bluetooth pairing I made before I did the (no-wipe) flash. I perhaps have to remove the pairing and do it again.

Anyway, as I select a song it starts for 1 or 2 second and than it stops. This only when the input of my car stereo is "Bluetooth player". As soon as I select another input on the stereo, the song gets unstuck.

Also, even if the car stereo recognise the mobile via bluetooth, the audio player is seen but on the stereo display it's called " Unknown device" instead of what used to be Samsung S2.

EDIT :

I have just deleted the pairing and paired the phone with the car stereo and it works perfectly. Sorry for wasting your time mate
