What service provider do you use? I know last month people have been suing AT&T for throttling "unlimited" data plans but you have a case as well: you signed a contract stating you get 5 GB at certain speeds each month. However I hope they didn't have some footnote in the contract that says they are allowed to do "research" while they throttle down your data.

I think if you have the conviction to go ahead with this and have the necessary time, see what kind of legal action you can take. People have been winning large sums of money lol.

You wouldn't need to hire a lawyer or anything I believe. Just head over to your local courthouse. But maybe if you have a lawyer friend you can talk to him about how to properly proceed.
[Nexus S General] dEris:
I'm on T-Mobile. They slowed me down so much that I cannot even use navigation or maps. The tech support lady was shocked at my speed test results too. They slowed me down sooooo much and I'm still at same speed. This is ridiculous. I can understand slowing me down but not to the point where I cannot even look up a place on maps. It times out.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
I love the throttled logic of telcos, let's keep someone using the network longer to help with congestion
[Nexus S General] Asweet:
prolly better off with sprint. Its unlimited, they dont throttle, and you get real 4g instead of this weird crap tmobile calls 4g.
[Nexus S General] davidsteele1975:
The network I use also throttles, but the majority of consumer contracts give you 500 Mb before you're throttled. You'll pay the equivalent of around US$10 for that half a gigabyte, which includes tethering. The logic behind it might seem flawed, but it discourages people to try to use the service when they know they've been throttled.

Luckily, I have an unlimited data contract, but I've struggling realistically to use the 4.3 Gb that I have in the last near-month (bill due 15 April) because data via the modem kills the battery.

In the original poster's case, something feels screwy but it's worth talking to somebody in the know or reading the contract carefully.
[Nexus S General] stardusk:
I think the most you can do is to wait till they have finished research. But maybe it helps to try your simcard in an other phone.
[Nexus S General] dEris:
I put my sim card in another phone and it was doing the same thing. My speeds are back to normal. I'. getting around 5000kbps on my Nexus S (3G)

Throttled (Ran over 4 times and was getting same speed):

Not Throttled:

Throttle? Oh you must be on a non Sprint carrier ;)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikep554:
I have CM7 installed internally on my 16 GB Nook Tablet. I also have CM7 on my HTC Incredible 2.

I use both devices to copy files to/from a Linux server via SMB/CIFS protocol unsing ES File Explorer's built-in functionality. When I connect from my HTC Incredible 2, browsing and copying is very snappy. In fact, file transfer rate is slightly slower than my laptop on WiFi, but directory browsing is noticeably faster on the Incredible 2.

The Nook Table is another story. It is unbelievably slow. It might take 2-3 minutes to connect to the server and show the directory contents. Each time I browse into another directory, the same long wait happens. Also, copying files to or from the Nook Tablet takes 5 - 10 times longer than from any of my other systems. Sometimes, the transfer will hang at 100% and never complete, other times is seems to hang at 100% but will complete if I allow it to sit for 5 or 10 minutes.

I can perform other activities over the network without issues, such as SSH using ConnectBot, web browsing using Dolphin or the built-in browser and email via the Gmail app.

I have tried removing and re-installing ES, and even factory resetting the Nook and re-installing CM7. Neither had any affect on performance. Any ideas?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
try using CIFS manager instead of ES File Explorer maybe is better, ES is known to beat CIFS manager for stream music and videos but maybe copy to/from your linux server is faster with CIFS Manger.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] old_fart:
if you 'turn on logging' and capture some data about what it is doing ( instead of working right ) . . . maybe the log will give us a clue . . . maybe . . .

.

possibly the cm7 dev crew still have bugs to shake out ?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikep554:
Thanks for the suggestions

I tried CIFS manager. It was a bit better, but not much. I was having having some other odd WiFi issues and really poor battery life, so I ended up reflashing CM7. The problems seems to have largely gone away after that. It still isn't as fast as my Incredible 2, but well within the acceptable range.

Since flashing to Caulkin's E4GT rom I've noticed that the color of the incoming text messaging bubble in a conversation is more faded then the stock color. is there a way to get the color back?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
Calkulin changed the incoming text boxes to be greenish, rather than the stock yellow.

I'll push together a zip to fix this for you. :)

Here you go.

P.S. If this somehow doesn't work, just reflash Calk's rom without wiping. It'll revert the changes.

Could anyone make a rom for the people without unlocked bootloaders please????
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dumraden:
1. Wrong section.

2. You can try and make your own and see how it goes.

3. All you need to do is unlock your bootloader, which is relockable (with tp version of unlock)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Xperia UXP NXT is the only one currently.

Custom ROMs cannot have all those functions with stock kernel. Stock kernel has low functionality that's why custom ROMs do not work so.
[HTC Incredible S] Vaxx93:
How do I correctly apply a custom theme? I'm running CM7, and I downloaded the Honeybread theme. When I want to use it I select it with the CM Theme Chooser, and after the reboot it only changed the icons and stuff. I would like to have the 'app bar', at the bottom of every homescreen, to be changed to the one from the theme. How do I fix this?
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Go to settings > adw settings and you can change the dock in themes. The cm7 theme chooser only effects icons and status bar as well as a few apps menus.
[HTC Incredible S] Vaxx93:
Thanks for your help, but the in the ADW settings I can only choose the ADW.Default theme. Where do I have to place my theme apk files?

Excuse me, found out that there are special ADW themes. Thanks!
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Excerpt from same question asked by me
[HTC Incredible S] Vaxx93:
That's pretty helpfull too, thankksss!
[HTC Incredible S] Vaxx93:
Huh, I'm trying some themes now, but when I change the theme, actually only the background changes, including some icons. I've selected the option to Use theme icons. When I drag the statusbar down, the wifi widgets etc have a strange white glow wich won't dissapear and the place down under those widgets has an opacity of like 20%. I guess this is a setting from the theme, but how do I change this?

Edit: The icons aren't changing too, just like the battery and wifi indicator. The only thing that changes when I change my theme is the background.

Juist noticed that the dock image is changing too.
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
Maybe Theme Chooser App which is preinstalled?
[HTC Incredible S] Vaxx93:
doh. Didn't try that because I should use ADW to change my theme :p But that worked, thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
I have both in my hand. Reason for that is that VZW coverage is horrible where im at in weston fl, but AT&T blows away VZW coverage.

Problem im having is giving up my Nexus to actually keep the Note(Still in return period)

Am I spoiled by knowing that I have a Nexus? Am I spoiled by ICS?

I already have the official car dock for the note, wish VZW Nexus had an official dock that uses the Pogo pins...le sigh....

Anybody else been a similar situation ? Am I stupid for getting the note?

Please forum, help me make a decision on that to do, Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The ATT Note's hardware is pretty meh.

That said, a phone isn't worth diddly squat if you have no reception. I think the choice is pretty simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lsxrx7:
the note is perfectly fine for regular day to day use

that with the reception is a no brainer

or you can wait and hope that ATT comes out with the nexus with LTE soon

another option is the non-LTE nexus you can use on ATT, its only around $450 new anyways

edit : there IS ICS on the note, and CM9 is going to work on the note real soon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] claud_face:
Sell the note and get gsm nexus . Win win. Great reception and keeping the nexus!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCRoadster:
I love the Note. The international version is a great device.

Haven't used the AT&T one, but if you like the software and speed, then it's all good!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
ATT Note is a Snapdragon S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vcolassi:
I sold my AT&T note for a Galaxy Nexus unlocked. Other than the screen size there is nothing about the Note that is better than the nexus. I lpromise you. Touch wiz is junk, no chrome beta which is King on the Nexus. I actually used ADW ICS theme on my note. But Snapdragon S3 chip was mega mehhhhhhhh. Even when it gets ICS sure it will be smoother but you will still get that touch wiz overlay. The AT&T version development is kinda lacking.

If your getting a note go international, trust me. Also had a software problem with crushed blacks and blocky blacks on the note with video and photos. And I went through 4 of em. All the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just buy an HSPA+ Nexus?

The Nexus is useless w/o service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatdub:
Well , sold the VZW Nexus, Returned the note, and got a White GSM Galaxy Nexus. got it over night it with Amazon Prime !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deymayor:
Not a big fan of the att note but coming from the intl note, it's the perfect phone. screen is great and perfect for browing or watching movies. the only reason why i gave it up is because att sucks in my area. verizon is great and using my nexus with an ipad is working out nicely. still missing my note though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:

Phat, I'm glad you were able to get the best of all worlds. I can't do a GSM phone because they just aren't good where I am. I'm stuck with whatever scraps VZW throws my way.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizcuite:
Hi guy.

Which rom do you want install?

If you want to keep archos firmware and have root, install Chulri's kernel. It works like a charm. Just download the kernel (see his post) and unpack it, it calls avosxxxx if my memory is good. Select the kernel correspond to your version of rom.

Try others rom with different kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz, like bull rc2 or urukdroid.

Read the 'how to' it's usefull :p

Else try recover -> reset android or reformat device AFTER download another rom on archos website ( aos file).

Try to reinstall your wifi app, and reset all cache and uninstall it again.

If it doesn't worked, try to go to /data/app/ and remove the app. Next go to /data/data/ and remove all files in relation with your wifi software. (use rootexplorer or other similar app).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AT2184:
I have read on internet about so many people suggesting rooting phone and probably installing some APKs just to take screenshot of any screen on Android phone. And I believe lot of people don't know this - :eek:

How to take screenshot on an Android Phone? :confused:

Ans -> Press power button (mostly present on top of phone) and keeping it pressed, quickly press "Home" touch key on front screen. That's it. :) That's all you needed to take screenshot. Image is saved in Gallery folder of your phone.

This pretty much works in Gingerbread and ICS, if not other versions of Android.

Hope people find this info useful, for those who dont know yet. :p

Enjoy!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlusAndroid:
Not necessary!

In my phone, Galaxy SL, you need to press Back button + Home Button for taking a screenshot!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikosss:

Unfortunatelly does not work on my sgs:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talktoanil:
all those articles mentioning of installing APK or rooting is because of the fact that NOT ALL phones with OS version less then 2.3 provide taking screenshot functionality out of box. This is now changed with 4.0 OS version. ALL phones having OS version 4.0 WILL HAVE ability to take screenshot out of box.

Press the Back button in right bottom and hold it. While holding Back button now press Home button in the middle. You will hear a capture sound and in moment it will appear Screen captured. Save as image file

Hi,

I have been using an HTC Desire Z and figured to post here. I would like a new phone but can't really decide between the Galaxy note or the Galaxy S II. What is your opinion? My concern is the note maybe too big for me to use and fit in my pockets.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
Easiest answer is to go to a shop and get hold of a Note to see if you find it too big and if it fits your pockets. Opinions can be useful sometimes but at the end, the choice is yours and there is no better way than to see the device in real to get a better idea.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
What do you expect to hear from a Note owners forum?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Final5k:
lol...exactly what I thought.....everyone here owns a Note = we love the big screen and I doubt anyone will say the contrary! Big screen is our cup of tea! hehe.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shure2:
I've seen a good migration of desire Z owners moving to the note, I can only presume partly because of the typing experience on the large screen (dz being the best keyboard phone out atm?).

I myself don't use the keyboard but am hoping to migrate across
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightslay2:
Well as an owner of the Desire Z I honestly think the physical keyboard isn't great for my use. I pretty the on-screen keyboard more. May I ask what is a pentile display?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] priyanv:
Pentile display means five sub pixels arranged together to form a pixel. A pixel is a combination of red green and blue sub pixels. Galaxy Note uses RGBG Pentile display (only four) . That means green pixel is placed in between each red and blue sub pixel. The human eye is most sensitive to green, especially for high resolution luminance information.This makes clear picture visible to us.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] whatsaqazza:
I wasn't sure about the size of the gnote but I went ahead with buying one before I actually used a test model. I went out a day or two after to test one after I had ordered mine and immediately started to have concerns because it just didn't feel right in my hands. As soon as I got it though I was blown away. The weight is absolutely perfect for holding and the screen size is just right. I have slightly larger hands than most guys but the people I've let use phone have thought it was awesome too despite its sheer size.

I think its best to just buy one and if you don't like it trade it in or something.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
Frankly, I wish it were bigger. It could easily be another few centimetres wider (from a portrait perspective). I want it to not waste any space in my pocket! It would make tablet mode even better, browsing would be even more awesome, etc. Maybe even fit in a bigger battery, although it's certainly no slouch in that department.

The colour/gradient rendering might be an issue for you. It hasn't been for me ever since I switched to ICS, but it's something that never should've existed in an expensive phone like this.

The display is stunning, there's no other word for it IMO. Especially on full brightness and with colourful apps (Minecraft is a great demo for this!). Careful using full brightness when it's dark though, you will burn your eyes to a crisp! :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightslay2:
Honestly, I think many of the people are right. 3.5 to 3.7 inch screen phones are really small. I'm starting to get sore eyes from using my desire z. My question is do any of you own a galaxy s2?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] biscuitlad:
No, I had an HTC Desire. Yes, it's a much smaller phone. No, after a few months with the Note I don't notice its size at all. Ever, in fact. I still wear all the same trousers. The size is the best thing about the Note.

Really, really, really, like almost everyone else on here, I think the future is for smartphones to grow to around the Note's size. In the past, people wanted tiny phones, after all they were simply for making phone calls.

Now everyone wants to have the internet in their pocket. Phone is pretty much secondary. For that, you want the biggest screen you can fit in a pair of jeans.

This is the Note.

One day, all smartphones will be this size! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightslay2:
I think you might be right. I was talking to friends about the note aand they say that it's too big for calls. I think generally opinion changes when you own the device itself.
