[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roddygonzo17:
I did this and (sorry for taking so long to get back to you but i wanted to make sure that it was happening often and not just once in a while) it worked for the phone ringing but the messaging, although im receiving them, they come late. sometimes VERY late like a whole day later. This is not cool and would really like to find a solution because i dont want to have to be stuck on stock :'( Oh yeah btw the ROM i flashed this time was AOKP. Thank you for the help!! :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I believe late texts are a symptom of carrier network issues. It should clear up when the maintenance is finished.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotwired34:
I am having the same issue with the phone calls either coming in late or not at all. I test this by calling my number from a land line. It takes 4 - 5 rings before the phone will start ringing, if it rings at all. Most of the time, Google Voice answers for voicemail.

I remember back in the days when I had my Windows phone, there was something that we could do to have the phone poll the towers more often to make the phone ring faster. I know that this faster response to phone calls came at the expense of more battery usage. I wonder if some of the battery saving tweaks done by the ROM developers has had a negative effect on the phone calls coming in.

I have tried updating my PRL and whatever through EL30, then reflashing with out restoring any data. Still having the issue.

Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duce102:
this same thing is happening to me and everyone else in my neighborhood that has sprint. Its one specific tower that's causing the issues. I know this because once I connect to a different tower the issue goes away. I contacted sprint about it and they said they would fix it when they do the network vision upgrades, which could be a ways away.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roddygonzo17:
I kinda thought it was a problem with the network and so i called them and last time they sent me a airave and it didnt solve the problem. I still think its a problem with sprint overall and am planning on calling them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdauria:
I have the same exact problem. I have even had the phone replaced and it still does it. I only know when it happens because google voice logs the missed call. I have had it happen with a completely stock phone as well as rooted.

It is very frustrating because like you said, people don't believe you when you say that your phone did not ring.

They are actually going to switch my phone again. I know this is not going to fix the problem, but I will play the game!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 918273645ams:
I'm going to Europe this summer --- all over Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland...etc)

I want to bring my Note and be able to use it and it's internet capabilities.

What is the best option?

Should I unlock it and use a European provider? (my dad has some European sim cards lying around that I could use and he could probably add data to it)

Or should I go through AT&T and pay extra to go use it in Europe.

Thanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Totòòò:
Unclock it and use it with local providers.thats what i do every summer i go to europe. +u need a local number to hook up with european gurls lol, they will never call/txt u if u keep ur att # :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
I recently discovered Android Wifi Tether, the first stable, functional and reliable app that creates an infrastructure AP so I can tether my Kindle Fire. The only problem is when I activate tethering, in the status bar I get the yellow Wifi Tether icon flasing by then a moment later, I get a smaller blue icon that says "Tethering or hotspot active". This is the same message that comes from T-mobile/2.3.6 ROM that says you're using their (pricey) builtin hotspot feature. When I go into Settings - Wireless- Tethering -Mobile AP settings the Mobile AP is grayed out and it says "Error" underneath it. With Wifi Tether off Mobile AP is not grayed and can be checked on/off. I don't want to get charged for tethering my KF!

Does anyone know how to setup Wifi Tether to not trigger the builtin hotspot feature -- or if it even does?

Specs:

Samsung Galaxy S4g mostly stock rooted 2.3.6

Android Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 11 (latest one as this moment). I'm using Samsung Galaxy S profile and for setup method I've used both Auto and netd, neither of which made any difference, got that same blue popup for both.

So does anyone know for sure if it's really being triggered and I'll get hit with the $30/month hotspot fee or if I can safely ignore this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
I do not get charged extra for Mobile AP or tethering. Just slowed down if I hit 5 gigs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Thanks, that's very helpful. Yours is 5g though? I think my contract throttles me at 2g!

Edit: Yep, just checked, I get throttled at 2g. I'm on a two-line plan with my wife for $100 for both lines, unlimited text and talk, throttled data after 2g. Wonder if there are different plans with different throttle caps? I've never even hit 2g but now that I've discovered I can tether that may change...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
5gb/old unlmtd plan comes with free hotspots/tethering.

And jbone, Tmo will charge you if they catch on and the feature isn't on your plan.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hampsterblade:
If you just do basic stuff like browsing and email your fine. I was using it to sftp files and got hit with a 10 dollar tether fee.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
that's not really fair.

I read the contract "yes".

I could find anything that says that they can amend it.

And look --> 5gb throttle and tether fee.

I haven't gotten anything yet though.

PS how do you know that you got throttled. I did get some slow 4g last month, but it was still useable.

If throttled, should you be able to see 2g on your status bar?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Biohazard0289:
I've been using tmo for years. The only time I had an issue is when I exceeded 10gb. That month I had a fee, I agreed to pay it and claimed ignorance, got it removed. No problems since.

After the 5 gig "softcap", you are limited to EDGE speed, but data services still work.

EDIT: jb0ne, I was able to get 5g for $20/mo through retentions. However, if you have the promo $49.99/line, then any change would require a new minute and messaging plan.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Wifi tether worked for me just fine until i started watching movies on it. They did not just automatically charge me. All they did was send me a txt msg and shut me off from using wifi tether. I found that if u change ur internet browser info in ur registry on ur computer u can still use this service for free even after they shut u off. Do not edit ur registry if u dont know what u are doing. Also there is no charge for going over ur 5gb cap they just slow it down to a crawl. If u want u can pay an extra 30$ for a 10gb cap. If u dont use enourmous amounts of data like i did with the tether they never shut it off.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
don't use the stock tether. Use barnacle wifi tether. This way it will look just like you are using data. YOu need to be rooted though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farwek:
Yes do that... Thanks airfluip
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Except that barnacle only makes ad hoc networks. Kindle fire needs infrastructure mode. Android-wifi-tether is the only program I've found that can do it, but like i said it seems to trigger the tmobile hotspot....but I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ChadBFlores:
I never did, btw there r actually lots of other apps that do that as well... although i did get a text from tm asking me to stop lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] media_11:
Try opengarden....its awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jb0ne:
Opengarden also only makes ad hoc networks. Their code looks like it was lifted straight out of Android wifi tether; guess they left the infrastructure option behind though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] onyx1898:
I currently use open garden to tether my kindle fire and it works 100% with no messages or charges from t-mobile.
[Motorola Droid X2] armopride07:
Hey guys.

I went from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 a little while go to upgrade to the new eclipse, but zergRush won't root for me. So, I was told to downgrade to 2.3.4 and install the voodoo root keeper app. My question: in downgrading, I just sbf to 2.3.4 on my computer right? Or is there something else I should do?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
or root from linux

i use D2X ezSBF with zergrush

worked great after zerg failed in win 7
[Motorola Droid X2] armopride07:
Unfortunately I don't have any Linux systems. So the downgrade is just an SBF correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
you have system version 1.3.412?

thought I read that 1.3.413 can't go back,

but 1.3.412 I know that's fine, I've done it.

ezSBF is burned on cd, and you boot from cd

http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-hacks/41697-tool-ezsbf-dx2.html
[Motorola Droid X2] armopride07:
Yea I have 1.3.412

Sweet! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
SBF to 2.3.4, the easy way that has worked flawlessly...

This ISN'T my Transformer Prime
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Yes just sbf, you wont run into any problems

You can sbf from 413 without issue as well as 412
[Motorola Droid X2] Nickolas:
Sbf on ur PC will be fine. I've done it many times.

I am taskforceZ
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
I flashed eclipse on 2.3.5 and didnt like the battery drain...cleared data/cache then restored my 2.3.4 backup and had 0 problems. So if you want to save some time and you have a backup use it. If it fails for you then you can sbf but I'm positive it works as I done it a few days ago.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Even tho u restored a backup made on 2.3.4 u are still on the kernel that was installed with the 2.3.5 update.zip if u didn't do a sbf flash

Sbf flashes and OTA(signed update.zip) is the only way we can change our kernel
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Zergrush is most likely not working for you because you didn't "extract all" on the zip zergrush comes in

Right click on the zip file for zergrush

Extract all

Then run it and enjoy being rooted

Zergrush will work on 2.3.4&2.3.5(build412)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jets76:
Hi everyone. Right now I'm using the 'Samsung ICS' lock screen on Jugs 5.0. Right now it is transparent which I love, because now I finally don't need a lock screen replacement to have widgets. Everything is visible thru the LS.

One annoyance though, The time and date are visible. Is there anyone that can mod this so the Time and Date are gone?

Here is what it looks like right now:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rudyraza:
how did you make your lock screen invisible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dillym34:
Go to settings display screen display, lockscreen. Set a wallpaper from the wallpaper gallery then reboot into recovery advanced, fix permissions, and your lockscreen should be transparent. At least on Juggernaut.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I just wanted to add that those instructions work on any ROM not just juggernaut.

As for removing the clock and date, one possibility would be to find the png images in framework-res or system ui (I'm not sure which one holds the lockscreen clock images) and replace them with transparent images? Just a thought. Although it may be difficult to match the transparency of the lockscreen exactly. It may take some trial and error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drifterrolly:
what launcher are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SupaKid:
That, there, be Go Launcher!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xUnreachablex:
Was missing the transparent lock screen I had when running BeastMOD, thanks for the tip.

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

I'm with you though, would like it to be completely transparent (no time and date)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] martywix:
You have to modify your framework.apk you will find all the numbers for the clock there. Just replace them with a transparent image and you will not see the clock. I left the date on mine because I like to quick check what the date is!

Marty
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CAR1977:
Could somebody upload a modded version of the framework apk? I don't know how to do it myself yet, and i'd rather not mess with something that I don't know how to do.

Thank you in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FallenRefugee:
Hi there,

I am totally lost on the nexus by now. I dont know what to do anymore.

I have previously had it just running on the docomo 4.0.2 but wanted

to have upgrades faster so I decided to flash to 4.0.4 official version.

However then the Simlock struck, and I couldnt use my phone anymore.

I tried several methods but none of them seem to have been working on.

Also I dont have the original docomo rom anymore and dont know how to

get it. So now I flashed back to 4.0.1 original google rom, but it seems only

worse, my sim card doesnt even get recognized properly now as it doesnt

even accept the pin, also the unlock code question keeps popping up permanently when I try it with another sim card that has no pin, which is really annoying.

****Docomo App doesnt work either as it seems, I start it and theres just a black

screen coming and then Im back to the home screen.

Im really lost now... any ideas....? Anyone maybe the docomo rom?

Docomo unfortunately does really suck, originally I paid them to unlock it

(I do live in Taiwan). However now I cant get in touch, their phone cannot

be called via skype and they dont have any email...

best regards

/edit

Ok, now I finally made it after flashing 4.0.2 back to it and then the ****Docomo app worked...!

Now all I need to figure out is how to update to 4.0.4 since I accidently pushed notification of the update away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big_mike_aka_mike:
i bought an unlocked i9250 / SC-04D its on 4.0.1 ive had it 2 weeks and it wont update to 4.0.2 let alone 4.0.4 even tried to force it to update but no good

any ideas?

cheers

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big_mike_aka_mike:
cheers for that but ive tried it with no joy:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randommmm:
sad story... though I think learning about simlock and how to break it is the first step of flushing roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amonfog:
Jep search some options online to remove that simlock or go to a store in your town. Frombwhat i know those settings are stored on the /device partition wich can not be flashed (your imei and device id are kept there as well but using #*#*...*#*# you can unlock your simlock were ... is a calculated code from imei, device id and device type... using online calculators will cost you like 5 dollar or so. Visiting a phonestore is most likely the same price but 100% ensurance that the code given is legit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FallenRefugee:
Sorry guys but its really not that easy, and an unlock code doesnt only cost 5

bucks, they usually charge you 30 bucks for an unlock code of the Docomo

Nexus, plus all unlock pages havent been able to supply one recently as they

couldnt get any codes.

Besides, now my Nexus just locked randomly again after turning it off and on,

very annoying.

I also cannot just go to any store here in Taiwan as it is DOCOMO locked.

I would have to contact Docomo, however I cant even reach the English

hotline of them in Japan, so no Chance.

Means gotta flash it back to 4.0.2 today use the f docomo app and give it

another unlock.

@big_mike_aka_mike

I just had to wait... all other methods didnt work for me either...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] big_mike_aka_mike:
cheers dude but i gave up and sent it back. got a uk version of amazon sim free for another £90 yeah more money but think its worth it in the long run.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amonfog:
Yaeh... I made sure mine was simlock-free when I bought it. My ex had to go back to her official t-mobile factory rom to unlock hers, since unlock was only possible with a code in their modified rom....

Good thing for her was that i kept a full system backup of her stock rom.

hmm.. if your purpose is to free up space then it's no use. twlauncher is just kb in size. it will only reduce a very little amount of memory. better use app2sd scripts or apps like s2e, link2sd, etc.. to maximize your internal memory..

So...I have VinceOB's modded Rosie (centered all apps and no text, LINK) but would like to mod the delete, settings, and launcher icon.

I decompiled in M10, edited images in Rosie/assets/Port/scenes/Rosie_navbar (as attached) but when I put it back together, nothing sticks. I don't see the launcher in any of the regular res folders...am I missing something?

I'm basically looking for someone to tell me I'm stoopid or that the files I need are actually in Fusion.apk, which (obviously) we cannot mod, just yet.
[HTC Rezound] VinceOB:
You can't edit Rosie 3.6 images. It has to be done via the m10 editor. I'll mod it in a bit. I'm watching Wrestlemania. Lol wait, what exactly do you want edited?
[HTC Rezound] awenthol:
I guess I don't understand what you're saying...in M10, all my images show after compiling and re-decompiling :confused:
[HTC Rezound] VinceOB:
You can't modify images in Sense 3.6. In the newest leak the images are removed. What are you trying to accomplish?

I mainly just want to change out the plain-jane "all apps" icon...
[HTC Rezound] VinceOB:
Can't. Ive tried.
[HTC Rezound] awenthol:
Mind if I ask how your modded background bar stuck, then? I changed that as well, just to see if I could get anything to stick, and it's stayed transparent....

I did that in the M10 code. I have something I wrote up on how to edit the navbar. Let me see of I can dig it up.

[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
in the picture I can't read the read text but looks like it working to me, and by the themed icons looks like your running iceylicious rom, or you added other rom mods to your taboonay install. And it is a huge no, no to create your own thread complaining, instead posting in the appropriate roms thread.
[Acer Iconia A500] lifeofcoding:
Also if you install a different roms button mods on your taboonay install this can definitely break the ring... and again to better clarify on my last post, threads are for tutorials, roms, development, kernels, ect... for developers... if you want to report a bug or complain, you post in that roms thread, this will most likely be deleted, and you have a better chance of getting help if you posted this as a reply in the taboonay thread, some of the xda devs and veterans, this is one of there biggest things they hate, especially for xda staff. They have this huge video, instructions and rules to keep people from doing this, they explain it in detailed how things work here to make sure people understand, and to keep things organized, do a fresh install of taboonay following the instructions carefully, also read the entire original post in till you understanding instructions, I use taboonay, and if you install it correctly it will run pretty much perfect.
