You need custom kernel to be installed also, that's why after installing ROM it gets stuck.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] texas5:
thanks..what's mean by custom kernel..firmware?I'm using 4.0.2.A.0.58 firmware?and when should i install the custom kernel, after rooting or after unlocked bootloader?and where can i get the custom kernel?

thanks..;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Kernel is a part of the phone's system, that starts the whole system. Stock kernel can only run the stock firmware, that means if you want to install a custom ROM, you also have to install a custom kernel.

In this forum section, http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1242, you can find many custom kernels with lots of different possibilities. Just pick one, which supports your phone. Depending on the ROM, not all kernels might work, although I have had no problems with X Kernel or Rage Kernel. Both seem good ones.

Most kernels already include ClockworkMod Recovery also.

You need to download the kernel(it is a boot.img file), then install it via fastboot or Flashtool, either way you need unlocked bootloader. Install kernel before installing custom ROM.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] texas5:
thanks mate..:D

its works..i manage to install hybrom custom rom after install custom kernel..you really help & teach me a lot..:)

Thanks again to you guys.

any recomandation for gps?

google map is really suck-.-

compare to iphone papago

Sygic Aura isn't bad. It's not free though.
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
That's the first I've ever heard that. Google maps navigated me 3000 miles without a hitch. I was playing music from my phone the whole time too. Using Google maps and the stock music player, it automatically dims the music to announce directions. Plus I swear when I search for the website of a place(like a restaurant) I use Google maps instead if Google, because it's more accurate.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
I have received the message from att that Im nearing 5Gb and that if i got over i will be throttled. Currently i sit at 4.4Gb and still a few days left in this pay cycle. My question is should i go to the att store and get this corrected? Im able to control my own usage and keep it under 5Gb till the next cycle or i know of a way around throttling like the infuse had. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Their 5Gb might be your 4.4Gb. You may not be counting everything that they are. Give them a call and see if you can get them to reset it for you. Nothing to lose. Let us know what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Ill be sure to keep y'all updated. Im not big on calling support Im just going to stop by the store on my way home from work. I just wasn't aware they throttle mid cycle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Do they have you over 5GB? dial *3282# from you dialer and see what the text has you at for data. I track mine this way since it is what they have that counts.

Let us know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
No way in hell i did that this month. Just judging by the text messages. Something must have went south when i got my new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Looks like you just switched over so they have have 1.5 GB of your previous data plan and over 5GB on the new LTE plan.

Did you set the phone up with LTE? I mean putting all of your apps etc. The first month I had my skyrocket, I used the most data I have ever used. Much of that was speedtest, which are 20+ MB a pop. Also you play with the phone a lot more initially and maybe do not use wifi where you would have before.?

Also there are some apps/widgets using data when you are not using the phone. Not sure if you have a rouge app?

Anyways, you can track the data weekly to get you through without being throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] demetriew:
Don't waste your time. I had to deal with this for 2 weeks. They throttled me a week and a half in of owning my new skyrocket(my first LTE phone ever) And by throttled I mean stopped. I wish it had slowed down, I would have been able to deal with that. So i was showing off my lte speeds to everyone, what did that expect. I actually got 2 people to buy the skyrocket within that first week of me owning the phone.

So I went to the Att store and told them about it and they were like I'm sure they didn't stop you, maybe they just slowed you down a bit. So the Guy runs a speed test and the needle never moves. He said that is amazing I've never seen them do that. He then tries to do some stuff on his computer but no luck. He told me to call 611 and they would probably work it out with me. So I call 611 and explained to them my issue and they said it was all controled by the system and there was nothing they could do. After going back and forward with the lady and her superiors I said this was unacceptable and hung up. The folks at the store could not believe it. So I called a couple days later and got this really nice lady. She pointed out that ATT just has to provide internet but they never said at what speeds. Dang they pulled one over on us unlimited folks. She she his is how Att going to make there money cause there not going to throttle those poor folks that are not unlimited... $$$$ bastards.

So I took my phone back and the store completely backed me on this. I said I no longer wanted to be apart of Att. Well needless to say here I am but that's another story. I think I made a deal with the devil. Lol

Well sorry to post my life story but just trying to help a little.

I just signed the petition "AT&T: Stop throttling the data speeds on plans with unlimited data!" and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.Our goal is to reach 50,000 signatures and we need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Yeah guess i had 1.5 from my old phone notice the difference comes to 4.4Gb. That will be my argument. New "data" plan should have refreshed the counter. I've had att for the longest time we have 5 lines with them. I hope they don't give me any trouble over 1.5Gb on a different band..after all that's why they throttle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
Don't go to the store they literally cannot do anything for you. Former employee here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
I don't care about a few days under speed i just want to know if next month will be throttled. If so ill just go back to my good old infuse for a month if that apn trick still works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
In the next cycle you will have a hard cap of 5GB and then you will be throttled. This was an annoucement made a few weeks ago. YOu will not get unlimited LTE speeds. Once you hit 5 GB you will drop down to EDGE which it looks like you are getting now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] locust43:
Change your APN to phone temporarily while you are being throttled, you won't get LTE but you will get full speed HSPA+ and then change it back PTA when your bill cycle changes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnus:
From what I was told, that doesn't work (or shouldn't). Apparently the throttling flag is tied to your line or IMEI or whatnot and the system will throttle you no matter what system or APN you're on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxjivi05:
That is wrong... it is done via APN. I've been throttled numerous times and use it to bypass it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
It isn't completely wrong...It is done via the APN and gradually they are killing the APN bypass..check out the skyrocket forums

the only way I found on the skyrocket to get the bypass to work recently was to use a telus modem

The APN bypass continues to work for some but don't be surprised if it stops
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xsessive:
I just got hit by the throttle message and will i got throttled i am able to stream my nba games and actually use the phone.

not that i like or anything but i could be worse
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xsessive:
but if anyone can fonde a bypass like the one i used with my skyrocked that be cool(apn trick btw)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeff210:
Anything new with this? I just got the throttle message. Did a search, and this is all that popped up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Nope I just deal with it. I'm still using 10+ a month. Even when throttled its still fast enough for what I need.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeff210:
Hope it is still usable. I only get 1-2 mb download as it is where I live.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacho:
Couple of days ago I was throttled for the first time ever. I used to go through about 7gb of data each month. Now they throttled me after 6.something GB. I still find it very usable and have not had any major problems. I can still use remote desktop with no problems, I can stream surveillance cameras, and stream music.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Yeah I've noticed streaming is perfectly fine but downloading is next to impossible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
What's the problem? Just set it to download or torrent overnight. I'm throttled every month, except when I am on WP. I manage just fine and the Note is my only computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeff210:
Thanks, but even if I limit my speed after a certain amount,I will still go over. If that is what you were trying to say with the picture.

I went to 7.5 mb down to .65 mb down. That sucks

But it is not that much slower than what I get at home. Lol.

Which is where I'll be in a couple days hopefully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
AT&T's press release on how the data cap currently works. I bolded the pertinent information to make it easier to get through their PR garbage.

What they DONT tell you is how you will be throttled.

1. On 3G plans, you'll be dropped to EDGE. For me in San Antonio, this is around 20-30 kbit/s. According to wikipedia, Edge offers a theoretical limit of 473.6 kbit/s which is a laugh in itself. This is NOT fast enough to stream anything seamlessly, a 1 hour 128 bit mp3 audio file can take as long as 5-10 minutes to buffer at this speed.

2. On 4G plans, you'll be dropped to 3G. For me in San Antonio, this is around 250 kbit/s. Peak bit-rates of up to 1Mbit/s and typical bit-rates of 400kbit/s can be expected (per wikipedia). Still fast enough to seamlessly stream audio without a problem, video will take about twice as long to buffer (a 10 minute video will take about 30 seconds to buffer).

One of two things has happened with you, either you are on the 3G plan and exceeded 3GB (in which case you need to have AT&T change it) or you did in fact exceed 5 GB on the LTE plan. The one thing you need to know is that if you have not set your phone up correctly to start counting data usage at the start of your billing cycle, your phone is going to report data usage incorrectly. Also, external apps are terrible for counting data for a number of reasons. The most accurate is the system settings in Android but even it is not very accurate, sometimes it is off by more than 1 GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
My experience so far has been throttle down to edge...on both lte phones my skyrocket and note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
I've been throttled to about .7mb down, perfectly acceptable for streaming with few hiccups, and also download. But slowly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vpkb:
Works but by much, 200k vs 100k. Gotta rode it out. I find it very stupid consisering LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeff210:
I talked to att and they said that it is tired to my imei. What is an imei? Is I it the number on my Sim card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a3plew:
It is unique to every phone. This is actually the key to get UN throttled. Just do the update ImEi trick to get your fullspeed back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borgib:
Woot! I just got throttled myself! I'll be crawling until the 2nd. They got me right at 5GB. First time for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SilverStone641:
Quick question. I was under the impression that if you went over your data limit, you could just get another gb for $10. Is that not the case???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
This applies to those of us on the unlimited plan...

New plans work that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dacho:
How do you do imei trick? I have switched phones and it is still throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
How come you guys have 5gb? I only have 3gb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dolanaj:
I work for AT&T in one of their call centers. As was previously posted the cap for 3g devices (this includes HSPA+ "4G" phones") is 3GB and for LTE devices its 5GB. There is a code placed onto the account on the very first notification that informs you that if you go over a certain amount of data then you will be throttled, it is never removed. After that notification if you get the warning notification that you are closing in on the cap a second code is placed on your account, that code will be removed at the end of the billing cycle. When you actually go over the cap, a third code is added to the account that will also be removed at the end of the billing cycle. They can't be removed by reps! As for there being a way to bypass it, I haven't heard anything about that or if they are starting to block it. Will say that if you are using the data tracker thats on ICS that won't match up with what AT&T is showing, just do the *3282# command to see what you are using. As for the original screen shot after doing that command, you used 1.5gb on the old data package that was changed to the LTE data package then an additional 5.9gb.

To respond to the throttle speed, they did change the speed of throttle. I have managed to be throttled a few times, both at the old speed and new speed. Old speed I wasn't even able to buffer a low quality YouTube video. The new speeds I am able to stream Pandora without a problem and can do low quality YouTube. But as for HD you will see buffering. So they at least made it a little easier to stand with that change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jeff210:
They keep telling me to hang in there. They are trying to raise capacity. And they say it will get better. Do you think that means they will not cap us as soon? Maybe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Since the Note is an LTE device, how come they give me ONLY 3Gb? I don't even see 5Gb as an option when I order online.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
Ok, there are three reasons you would be on 3g rather than LTE.

1. You dont have an LTE device. Since you have a GNote, this one isnt applicable.

2. When you got your Note, did you previously have a 4G phone? If not, you should have gotten a new sim card and your old sim card should be invalid. If you DID get a new sim card, it is possible the rep did not set up your account correctly.

3. Do you actually have 4G/LTE in your area? During the billing cycle, if you NEVER go onto the 4G/LTE network, you will automatically be on the 3G plan and thus capped at 3 GB. If however you do go into an area with 4G, your plan will be upped to 5 GB for the duration of that billing cycle. However, the next billing cycle you will NOT remain on the 5 GB (LTE/4G network) plan unless you again get access to the 4G/LTE network.

A specific note on number three, this was the case the last time I looked into it, ATT was supposed to fix this situation but they may not have yet gotten around to it. Originally, the reason this was in place is that they planned on charging more for LTE than 3G and opted not to do so, likely because other carriers did not increase their rates for 4G/LTE vs 3G.

Im also well aware of ATT's reason, faster data rates means MORE data USE in ATT's mind. While in my opinion, this is somewhat flawed logic, this was their thinking.

I dont use any more data on my Note than I did on my Captivate, the data I DO use just comes in faster. This might have been the case when comparing EDGE to 3G because EDGE was so slow that it was discouraging to use and took such a lengthy amount of time to get anything on the interwebs that I generally didnt bother with EDGE, it wasnt worth my time/effort.

Tho, on second thought, I use less data on my Note because my Note actually stays connected to my WIFI network where my Cappy would disconnect and revert to cellular (I had podasts set to download automatically during the day, regardless of my connection to wifi or cellular).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
I never have an AT&T account before, my GNote is the first. I checked the "Order Confirmation" page when I order the GNote online (I PDF it), it said the following:

DataPro Personal 3GB for 4G LTE Smartphones (IRU Only)

$30

I do. I live in Los Angeles and I have received speed of 26Mbps and upwards in many location.

I am curious though, why did AT&T said 3Gb for 4G LTE when I order the GNote? Did they change the plan now from 5GB to 3GB? Should I complain?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xCeejayy:
Throttled just means they slow down your speeds for the rest of the month/usage period.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
Looks like to me you signed up for the 3gb plan. The grandfathered unlimited plans are 5 gb and subject to the throttling. I do believe rhere is a 5gb plan (not unlimited) but i think it is $50. It is also not subject to throttling but is subject to more charges if exceeded. At least that is what i remember from when i switched from the Thrill and gave it to my son and signed him up for a plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Thanks for he info! Looks like the 5Gb is only for grandfathered plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RCranium666:
Do they include tethering with the grandfathered unlimited to 5gb plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
No, if you are grandfathered on the unlimited, you will loose the unlimited and be switched to the 5GB limit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FacingAli:
Info

I'm hearing a lot of info here that I don't think is correct. For reference I have been on AT&T for 3 years with the iphone 3Gs plan and recently upgraded to an AT&T Galaxy Note. These are the options I see on my account

DataPro 5GB for Smartphone 4G LTE for Enterprise

$65.00	N/A	5GB	Select

DataPro 5GB for Smartphone 4G LTE

$50.00	N/A	5GB	Select

LTE Smartphone unlimited personal w/unlimited MSG

$50.00	Unlimited	Unlimited	Select

DataPro 3GB for Smartphone 4G LTE for Enterprise

$45.00	N/A	3GB	Select

LTE Smartphone unlimited personal w/200 MSG

$35.00	200	Unlimited	Select

DataPlus 300MB for Smartphone 4G LTE for Enterprise

$35.00	N/A	300MB	Select

Unlimited data for 4G LTE Smartphones w/Visual Voice Mail

$30.00	N/A	Unlimited	Current

LTE Smartphone unlimited personal add-on

$30.00	N/A	Unlimited	Select

DataPro 3GB for Smartphone 4G LTE

$30.00	N/A	3GB	Select

DataPlus 300MB for Smartphone 4G LTE

$20.00	N/A	300MB	Select

I currently have the Unlimited data for 4G LTE smartphones w/visual voice mail. I used to have 200 text messages for $5 and a $30 unlimited iphone plan. The AT&T store rep person told me that I could keep the unlimited data but not the text messages but I can clearly see an LTE unlimited data with 200 MSG for $35.00 so I think I may have been mislead. I can change my plan online to any plan you see above but I will call AT&T just to make sure I don't get screwed in some way. I may have to give up visual voicemail to get text messaging from the looks of it but I will find out and post here.

It appears that the $50 DataPro 5 GB plan and $30 DataPro 3 GB plans are open to anyone as I can see those options when i go to wireless.att.com (without logging in) and search specifically for the samsung galaxy note plans available. The plans that start with "DataPro" seem to be open to anyone and involves LIMITED data. The plans that say unlimited seem to need a grandfather clause. I'm not sure what the DataPlus plans are. If you go over with a DataPro plan you will be charged $10/GB. With unlimited you won't be charged but will be throttled once you go past 3GB or 5GB if you have LTE (the 5GB seems to apply to the I717).

Interestingly enough, I can tether on my phone as the mobile hotspot option is not disabled. I don't know if it's supposed to be disabled but mine is fully enabled. I haven't tried it yet (though I have used foxfi just as a test) because I don't know If I will get billed for that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] FacingAli:
Called customer service

So I called AT&T and the customer service rep was surprised that I could see the extensive list of LTE data plans online when I select manage account. He stated that even he couldn't see all of those plans and suggested I switch to whichever one I wanted to since they were all selectable. The only reservation I had was that I would lose visual voicemail which the customer service rep confirmed. I wanted to have visual voicemail and 200 messages and the customer service rep tried to get back my old messaging plan without me switching my LTE data plan to an unlimited one without visual voicemail. After some time and getting the manager involved he stated that even the manager no longer had access to the $5 200 message plan but they could add the $10 1K message plan which I agreed to. It's $5 more than what I usually pay but a good compromise to keep a messaging plan and visual voicemail at the same time.

The AT&T customer service rep was great and very helpful. I hear a lot of bad things about AT&T, their service, and their customer service but I have to say my experience with them has been pretty positive considering the alternatives. I got a lot of dropped calls with the iphone 3Gs but I mainly use my phone for data/smartphone usage and don't talk much. When I look at the new plans offered by AT&T, Verizon, and even T-mobile I feel like they are a rip off. I'm so glad I stuck with one carrier and have a grandfather clause on my side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dolanaj:
The throttle is for people with unlimited data. If you aren't grandfathered into the plan then this thread really doesn't have any effect on you. You won't be throttled on the tiered plans (200mb/2gb which are expired or 300mb/3gb current plans).

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Alright. You have the choice of either switch to the tiered plans or staying on unlimited. I recommend you stay on unlimited simply because you get 5gb before throttle instead of just 3gb for $30 with $10/1gb additional. If you change the plan online to the unlimited with 200 text that's what you get. As for tether I don't recommend doing that. Especially if you haven't even removed the hidden tether managing apk that's on the phone. They will send you a notice via mail that they have detected tethering without the correct package and if it continues they will remove you from unlimited data. If they do that there is no way to get it back!
