I'm grand fathered in on vz's unlimited data , I'm bailing to whoever can provide unlimited data once this deal is gone,

it's funny as well that every time I use my wireless tether there is always some scum bag apple user trying to steal my bandwidth with thier ultra expensive device, haha how about spending less on your handset and more on your data plan! (my experience 15-3)

That said capped and throttled data is bs as well as the prices for the plans that don't cap or throttle. For 80 a month I should be able to call my wife to snag some groceries and download a few porns,video games and check my facebook every month without costing a fortune, I don't think thats asking to much do you ?:D

I have an american 4g phone in a country with only 3g and i am convinced it makes my 3g speeds slower, but it might just be my imagination
[Networking] Shoulon:
What we consumers need is a new phone company to rise and change the game.

P.S a user said sprint coverage is horrible. However i beg to differ. We have all three carriers discluding tmobile in my house and everywjere we go, Verizon wins most but sprint always beats att. (talking signals here; 4g 3g and phone) i live in los Angeles. And we visit all over California area's.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
Sprint coverage isn't horrible, however their quality of service (or more specifically, data speeds) is. This is coming from someone who's been on Sprint for the past 2 years, and who was a Sprint store technician at one point. I've even witnessed employees making jokes about the speed. Here's a video I took last year showing the speeds in Brooklyn, NY, which are better now but still not that great:

I am on AT&T and verizon and were I live it go's like this:

1) AT&T best

2) Sprint 2nd

3) Verizon in DEAD last. ( EAT THAT BIG RED FANS)

This is why and they won't fix it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDxJoGv3FLA

Thats all.
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Where I live in the East Bay, you've got Verizon and AT&T tied for top speed with their LTE networks and T-Mobile's HSPA+ is very fast here (around 7-8Mbps in a lot of places). AT&T's HSPA+ comes in third at ~4Mbps. MetroPCS's LTE is spotty and not very reliable. Acts a lot like Sprint's WiMAX, which is not available in Berkeley (and only a few small spots in Oakland). Sprint is absolutely dead-last with 3G speeds under 1Mbps and a marked lack of WiMAX except in the SF area. Even Ghettro's 3G is faster in most cases!

tl;dr version: Methinks Sprint is strangling their network with all these MVNO arrangements.
[Networking] UserDemos:
I hate the data caps as well, it's highway robbery.

I switched to a MVNO and just from experience: I switched to Simple Mobile (a T-Mobile MVNO). They offer a $60 unlimited plan 4G. It's truly unlimited. I've never been throttled or shut down or anything. The only thing they prohibit is tethering basically. I hardly use that so it's no problem. They'll send you a text as a warning if you're infringing on that. Other than that...unlimited.

Feels great. No contract. Flat rate. Uses the nice T-Mobile network. I like it. Just my two cents.

[Networking] Adan.Mejia3:
I don't know man, sooner or later Sprint will have to do away with offering unlimited data. Right now the company is struggling, with more iPhones and LTE launching in more areas bandwidth will soon be at max capacity.

Or maybe they won't because that is how it keeps attracting new customers. Will be interesting to see over the next year or two how Sprint changes.

There was an article recently that even after LTE launches, they will continue to offer unlimited data on LTE (and 3G and WiMax as well currently).

Here is the article:

[Networking] luftrofl:
So... this is really just another rant about data caps, not 4G. lol :D

Seriously though, welcome to 2010. Everything you've said has been said before. Plus, except for a few trolls, most people on here already feel the way you do - possibly a higher percentage than any other forum.

I'm afraid data caps are here to stay. Many people, especially iPhone users (in y experience, even ones with grandfathered data plans!), are too used to them - always asking for wifi passwords instead of using cellular data.
[Motorola Droid X2] berfles:
My internet is down for everyone in the country, they appear to have fallen off the grid. As such, I've decided to try tethering for the first time, and it works, but I'm reading all sorts of older messages online saying that Verizon will cancel my grandfathered unlimited data and sign me up for the tethering plan. Is that still going on or will they give me some sort of warning or something? I need to have internet right now so I'm risking it.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spunker88:
So NCAA is promising us an Android app that will be able to stream live games right on your phone. Starting this year streaming live game access will cost a one time fee of $3.99. But for a limited time you can get a free access code brought to you by Coke Zero by texting "0YOURTEAMNAMEHERE" to 2653. You should get an automated reply with the access code and how to set up an account.

If the Android app is similar to the iOS one it will still allow you to do quite a bit without a subscription if you don't want to pay $3.99 once the promo above runs out. This is from the iTunes description:

The app itself should be free, or at least the iOS one is. This link should redirect to the app once its live. The subscription is done separately from the app pricing. From the FAQ online this app is going to be limited to certain devices.

See: http://www.ncaa.com/march-madnesslive/help#mobileAndroidTech

Provided the app is free I will be posting an apk from Titanium as soon as it lands in the market just in case it happens to be restricted to the above devices only. I guess we will see if the app will check build.prop or root access, and also if it will work on Honeycomb/ICS since they don't appear to be supported.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Thare187:
Any progress? None of my devices are eligible. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spunker88:
Here is the app from Titanium attached, its inside a zip file to avoid the apk size limit. It doesn't seem to be too strict on unofficial devices as it installed fine on my HP Touchpad with CM9. Unfortunately there is no tablet UI but the stretch to fill screen compatibility mode in ICS works, so tablet users won't be stuck with a tiny app and possibly tiny video. There are no games on now so I can't test video but everything else in the app is smooth. Hopefully it lets rooted devices in, I didn't get any issues launching the app.

Get the code associated with an account aand log in to the app. After that we will have to see if video works. I will be testing it on my GB stock rooted D3 tonight since there are games on. I expect it to work, I may possibly have to run ota unroot. But what I really want to see is how my ics touchpad with cm9 does. Hopefully video works but I'm not getting my hopes up.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spunker88:
OK the first game has started so here is an update.

Its working through my Droid 3 pretty well. It does not care about root. Video quality isn't the best especially when viewed over HDMI. But at least HDMI output is working even if it looks bad. Be patient when waiting for the game to appear. There will be a commercial first before it lets you in to watch and some black screen in between.

Now my Touchpad. Its running CM9/ICS and its a tablet. When you go to watch the game a browser prompt comes up unlike GB which just starts playing the video. I allowed it to open in the default browser and a flash plugin came up on a ncaa.com page. It played the commercial and then went black. Since the app stops video when it is pushed to the background chances are once the browser appears to play the ad, it never gets the redirect to the live stream.

I was able to use the desktop player on my Touchpad by going to http://www.ncaa.com/mml/player/console.html in the regular ICS browser using a desktop user agent. Once logged in via the flash applet I was able to watch games but the video only worked in full screen. It was a little laggy getting there since this is a big flash applet made for desktops. The video quality looks great though on a tablet and once I got to full screen there was little frame dropping. It may not be that way on lower end tablets though, but this method should work on the Galaxy Nexus. I attached an image of it from my Touchpad.

EDIT: Tried it in Dolphin Browser on my GB Droid 3 and its working okay, dropping frames a bit more than the Touchpad but still watchable.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] joshrys:
on my Nexus, i am not able to type in my password in the login box. The characters seem to be overwriting each other. i tried with the normal browser, and dolphin, same result. both using desktop agent. WTF, this app is pissing me off!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gilpdawg:
Same problem for me. Not a Nexus, but Captivate running CM9 alpha. Probably going to flash to stock until tournament is over. Also same problem on TF101, but if I can't get that to work no big deal. Gotta have it on the phone since I work nights. Pretty sad that they don't support ICS at all. I don't seem to recall app devs having this much of a problem when we went from Froyo to Gingerbread. I guess it goes to show just how much different ICS really is under the hood, and not just a pretty UI.

Sony's PC Companion sotware updated the other day and I noticed it now automatically has the 'anonymously provide technical information and usage data'-setting enabled. Just a heads up for those who don't want this enabled.

The installer did not ask if this should be enabled at any point so you opt-in automatically :(

This can be disabled by clicking on the PC Companion Settings - link on the top right corner of the UI and then unchecking the option in the list.

Here is the link to the tutorial i was following ---> http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1192300 after getting s off it said to download Download recovery v5.0.0.8. but the link that was provided wasnt working so i had to find another one. i must of got the wrong one or done something wrong because when i put the img file on my sd card and put it in the phone and loaded up hboot, it asked me to update i said yes it updated then i clicked reboot and now im stuck in reboot.

what can i do to get out of this whole and in the right direction, if someone can help me itd be greatly appreciated, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] jiggaman508:
When you flash something in hboot it should have a list of what it's updating. Therefore it should have only said recovery because that's all you were flashing. If this is the case, and you can get to hboot, try reflashing the recovery again, but redownload it from somewhere else. This sounded better in my head lol. But good luck anyways. I'd link you to a correct file but I don't have my laptop.
[HTC Sensation] status_six:
First remove the existing pmg58.img file from your SD card using a PC/micro SD adapter or another phone.

Second, you can download the recovery from rom manager in market (assuming your phone boots).

I'm running stock 4.0.2 and tried to install some apps with widgets. Problem is, the widgets don't show up under the widget slider.

I thought first it could be a problem that the widgets install automatic to 'sd card' and not phone memory, but couldn't find any option to move in the app info dialog, so maybe it's something different.

In the market comments there are clearly people who got it working on a galaxy nexus, so it must be something with my device?

Examples: Android Weather, World Weather Clock Widget

Any advice? Thanks!
