[Milestone 2 General] caeci11ius:
Just wondering if anyone knows how I might disable the motoblur sim lock when I change the sim cards in my phone (or at least the requirement to connect to the internet to check the password).

I originally started out with the Australian Optus 2.2 ROM, which allowed me to change SIMs when I went overseas without having to connect and check the password (though I did have to enter it). I'm now running the Brazil 2.3.6 Retail ROM (which is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the old 2.2 version, and seemingly faster and smoother than the community ROMs I've tried). That said, I'm now having issues when I go overseas...

I've just had to use another phone to activate a prepaid simcard and get an internet connection working while I'm on holidays overseas in order to use my own phone. I could have done this perfectly well on my own phone, but it locked me out ("sim card removed or changed") until I could connect to the internet on it. I'm looking to avoid this situation in future as I won't always have a spare phone and/or the ability to get a reasonably priced data plan. Is there any way to disable this "feature" of Motoblur?

For anyone who's wondering, the issue comes about as many prepaid cards are bought empty, and then require a call to activate, load with credit, set up a data plan on etc. Can't do this when the phone is refusing to allow you to do anything until you connect to the internet and reactivate the phone...

Hey I installed windows 8 customer preview the other day and I'm trying to figure out how to get adb to work on it. I'm still trying different methods but if anyone else has gotten it working, please let new know. Thanks!

EDIT: Let me just say I finally got it fixed up! Since I had installed Windows 8 CP x64, I had to google for the HTC drivers in 64 bit. Eventually I had to update the device driver in "Device Manager" on my PC and locate the drivers on my hard drive for the 64 bit, that finally got it set up, and now I can flash as I did before on Win7 :)

If anyone else has any issues, I'll be sure to type out a better guide to help!

Thanks for the tip - got fastboot working on Windows 8 64 bit by disabling the 'Driver Signature Enforcement' at bootup, then force-installing the Samsung ADB driver with my phone connected and in fastboot mode.

Even though my phone is a Sony Arc, the Samsung ADB driver still works, and I've just used fastboot to flash my phone from Windows 8 :)

[HTC Incredible S] TheMegosh:
Hey folks, sorry to dig up an old post, but I'm running into the same issue.

I've got hboot 6.13.1002 s-off with radio 3805.04.03.27_M. Using Revolutionary.

I've got CWM and superuser on, used Titanium backup, and installed busybox.

Doesn't this mean I'm rooted? Or am I missing some pretty obvious things here...:confused:
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
of course you are rooted and you are not missing anything.

but try root check app from play store
[HTC Incredible S] bob8x:
Theoretically yes, practically maybe.

Run this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.rootvalidator and all your question will be answered...
[HTC Incredible S] TheMegosh:
Using Root Validator, everything is green, "Your device is successfully rooted".

Well... I was getting permission errors, opened recovery, reformatted the phone, cleared cache, restarted. Then blackrose installer worked!

The installer seemed to have worked, though I got an error at the end. Restarting my phone, reformatting, formatting cache, shows the phone is still on hboot 6.13 and not blackrose...?

EDIT: Installed cyanogen 7.1, Blackrose install worked flawlessly. I guess it was the stock GB rom that was causing issues. Flashing ICS now.

I bought this tablet last week, but the problem is...it's very laggy when you play it for 30 minutes. so I rooted my tab and install antutu cpu master, it runs on 1200 mhz but after playing it for approximately 20 minutes, it stuck on 500 mhz. the question is, how can I fix this issue? thx before :)

JL... you will learn a lot reading through each of the SR subforums... we all have. When you're done reading and ready to post a question... two suggestions for you:

1. Be clear and specific in your question.

2. Provide enough information so others can assist... for example, what steps did you take... what EXACTLY did you do or flash... file name... are you stock or do have custom rom/kernel/modem/recovery... etc.

BTW, "Update.zip" are installation packages primarily used in older 2e recovery partitions... if you have CWM, you can flash non-samsung zip packages by selecting "install zip from sdcard"... not the "install update.zip" option.

What does wifi tethering means

Can I get free 3G with wifi tethering
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] revomalik:
Wifi tethering means turn your device into a portable hotspot.. it lets you Pc, laptop an other device to connect to web via WiFi over the internet connection on your phone..

So.. you can't get free 3g internet by wifi tethering
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
instead you will have to pay for the data charge if you haven't enabled any plan

but with wifi you can get free internet but some wifi hotspots must be there to use wifi

Welcome to the club, 1.5 months strong without seeing a satelite.

GPS is a no go for many people

Wifi: Speed is not the issue, per se, it is the range. If you are gettings decent signal from normal distances from the Access Point, then you are fine.

Its not really accurate, but speedtest.net or speakeasy.net/speedtest and test these against other devices
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dingdonggggg:
To test GPS use GPS Test with Wifi turned off.

To test Wifi use Wifi analyser for signal strength and use ONLY Iperf for performance of Wifi data transmision

I'm using this as my personal code repo for engengis (which is within the scope of the rather weird licence Redmaner gave it).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] benmatlock:
Yea, there's a lot of threads over the internet about this specific issue. The people that 'know their crap' say that we (like we compiled the binaries or something) compiled without the correct libraries.

Problem is, I didn't compile shiz, so they should really yell at the devs to compile with the correct libraries... OR tell us how to link the correct libraries AND give us a link to the correct binaries.

!!EDIT!!

Turns out, if you use the jrummy busybox installer to update busybox to the latest release, the terminal apps you use aren't updated (because of obvious reasons) so you have to do a little hacking for it to use the correct binaries (like, say remove their system dirs and link to xbin?)

My Galaxy Player 4.0 drops wifi whenever the screen is off for say 15 minutes. This of course bugs me as I use it partially as a wifi phone. It works fine as long as the screen is on (either continuous use, or by acquiring a full lock from the power manager), but once it's off for a bit it drops. Is there a way around this? I've tried the usual wifi lock/keep alive apps, but to no avail. My router isn't the issue (a NetGear WGR614v9) as it does this on all others as well. Thanks ahead.
