[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
If I remove the search on the left (the old one) that's currently linked to my search button, it won't mess up my phone? Will it know to use the other search instead?

Also, I have rebooted my phone many times, but it looks like the older search stays. it also is not recognized in the Play store.

thanks

What you guys think? Did Google just ...... all the carrier's?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] burhanistan:
Not really. People will still need data plans. At most, Google might be snatching the small percentage of people who don't mind paying more for an unlocked device rather than the majority who tend to buy subsidized devices on contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bonez537:
Well If you go to a carrier with a phone that is yours outright. They cannot make you sign up for a data plan.

If you brought an unlocked Iphone to Tmobile, they have no reason to charge you for a monthly data plan..

However if you decide to use it with out a plan the price would be costly..

but you can just use Wifi..

that is how I had my Iphone working a few years ago on the tmobile service..

I never had any issues.

You get a cheaper phone through them. how ever they make up the money in the data plan.

So Google did sorta screw the carriers..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Actually the customer gets screwed and the carriers benefit. If you buy a $200 phone, you pay $100 a month for a data plan. It's $100 a month because instead of paying full retail for the phone, you are paying a little bit of it each month via your plan. So roughly $10-$15 of your bill each month is covering the cost of the phone.

The problem with buying an unlocked phone from someone else, is that the carriers don't discount the price of the monthly plan for you. So you still pay $100 a month, but you paid $400 for the device instead of $200. So you've been screwed $200 basically.

Now from the carriers perspective, they love this. Instead of taking $10-15 a month to recoup what they lost on the phone, they charge you that money anyway and it's pure profit.

When the original iPhone was released it was unsubsidized and people laughed at the $600 price. But, for $20 a month you got unlimited data and texting. so yes you paid more upfront, but your bill was $20 a month less than a comparable subsidized phone. So over the course of 2 years it was a good deal.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any carriers that will discount the monthly plan when you bring your own phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sprecker:
Realy?! My data plan is $30/month 6gigs regardless of the phone I use. If I get a new phone from them ,on say a 3 yr contract, I don't have to get a new plan. How does what you say make any sense?

If i was to change carriers (why would you unless you are cconstantly moving?) every time I got a new phone and was always getting a new contract to reduce the purchase price of the phone, then yes, the price of the plan would probably be higher to subsidise the cost of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
You're missing the point. The monthly 4G plans are the same price as the contract plans, at least last time I checked. I looked at buying the international Galaxy Nexus when it first came out and putting it on T-Mobile and that is what I discovered.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

You're misunderstanding what I said. You pay right now $30/month for your data plan (in my example I chose $100 to represent minutes, data, and texts as an example). If you were to buy an unlocked Galaxy Nexus right now and put it on your plan, you'd still pay $30 a month, but you'd be out $400 for the phone. However, if you are due for an upgrade, you can could get a phone for $200 (subsidized) and still pay $30 a month.

In both cases you are paying $30 a month, but in the former you are paying more for your phone. The only advantage to buying the unlocked phones is not being stuck in your contract if you hate the service.

But my point was that US carriers base their monthly rates on the fact that they have subsidized your phone. When you bring your own non-subsidized phone, they don't discount the phone accordingly. So you end up paying more and they ending up making more money.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captivated:
Doesn't T-Mobile have lower monthly plans when you use your own phone or buy one at full price?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SKyRocKeting727:
Most people would want a data plan on their smart phone. So its cheaper to get it on contract since they require smartphones to have a data plan regardless of where you bought it. Data plans are not cheaper if you brought your own, its the same. The only good thing about buying a phone off contract is you can jump to another carrier without ETF. IMO, the only.phones I would buy off contracts would be unlocked international ones.

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Not when I last checked.

I didn't read up on it, I'm going by the first few sentences at the top. I have a few friends that use this plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] silvscorp:
Since this phone is not carrier specific, does that mean you can use it with AT&T using the $15 unlimited data plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
That must be new, when I looked into it a few months back it was not an option. Or else I had an uninformed sales rep at the time.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

I'm not aware of that plan, where do you see it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] silvscorp:
I am referring to the unlimited data plan for "non-smartphone" from AT&T. As long as you are using a phone that's not sold by AT&T then they won't recognize IMEI and treat it as "non-smartphone".

For the samsung galaxy, AT&T has its own branded one and there is also a "world" version which also supports AT&T 3g band but AT&T don't recognize it. I assume the this is the same with this phone sold directly by google?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holtonhj:
I have CM7.2 and clockworkmod recovery. I've noticed recently that I'll snyc my facebook contacts, set my keyboard under settings, etc. If I reboot, all of that is gone. I have to uninstall facebook app and re-install to resync everything, I have to go into settings and re select my keyboards.

When I first flashed CM7 I did a full data wipe and rest, cleared cache, etc. I use Titanium Backup for scheduled backups if that matters. I don't actually know if other things are getting reset as well wen I reboot, but those are the obvious things I notice.

I would really like to avoid having to wipe this all and start from scratch.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
Are you using something like s2e / apps2se? If so you may need to have Facebook data saving in internal memory rather than on the SD card.

That's about all I can think of, but hopefully it helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holtonhj:
Yes, I do use apps2sd and have facebook saved to SD. I'll change that and see if it helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holtonhj:
This actually doesn't make a lot of sense to me. And unfortunately, FB takes up around 12 MG on my phone, so I was trying to keep it on my SD. After I reboot, if I go into FB, it's set to don't sync contacts, even though I had previously set it to sync all contacts. I figured once the SD card is remounted, the synced info would come back.

Also, still not sure why my keyboards are all unchecked after reboot. Am I required to have Android Keyboard installed?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taodan:
Unfortunately, that is the way it is if you move Facebook or Twitter app to SD and after reboot you will have to enter username and password again. My understanding is because of security concern.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
You have your keyboard installed to the sdcard as well which is why you have to select it again on reboot.

[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
It can and will be done, however everyone's idea of crapware varies. You can remove the apps you don't want by using RootExplorer and delete the unwanted .apks in /system/app
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Or titanium backup if u don't know what's safe/unsafe to remove. You can freeze to test.

[HTC Amaze 4G] SharpNick:
thanks! good idea with titanium backup! and I tried /system/app but it says its read only, i know everything about permission and all and i just think its because the apps where running in back ground but ill try with titanium backup i remember it was easier last time i did it :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
If you are using RootExplorer, click the mount r/w icon up at the top right. You have to use a file explorer that supports changing read permissions to writeable. Otherwise Titanium Backup is a great and safe alternative.
[HTC Amaze 4G] UnkzDomain:
What all IS safe to remove that won't break anything? I froze a bunch of stuff and then all hell broke loose and I had to reflash everything so I don't want to risk removing essential stuff again...

Google Drive for Android Devices​

​

No more rumors, the expected storage service Google's cloud is a reality. Few minutes ago has just been introduced in partnership Google Drive, and today is already operating for the benefit of users.

Google Drive is betting the company's search engine for storage in the cloud that is released by the official application for Android and more systems.

Google Drive is now the central space of our Google account to create, share, collaborate and store our files. We can store and sync our documents, photos, videos, etc. with all our devices. Is the evolution of Google Docs.

Finally Google Drive offers 5GB of free storage to users, but if that space is small we can expand the quota to 25 GB for $ 2.50 per month, 100 GB for $ 4.99 a month or even 1 TB for $ 49, 99 per month.

Hi,

Well I got a HTC HD2 of ebay with a cracked digitiser (Cant wait to get rid of my san fransisco)

and I was wondering will I get dust under my screen after replacing the digitiser ?

2) I found a few guides which disassemble the whole phone to get to the digitiser isnt there a "short cut" ?

3) Is it possible to unlock the HD2 for free? I found this simlockcalculators./htc-free-unlock-codes-calculator/ but does it work?

4)I want to put android on my phone when I get it, I heard that once you put android on it, you cannot charge the phone with the usb port, you have to buy a external charger?

5) Now I have found may guides on how to flash android to nand, I want to flash ICS can anyone give me a link on the most up to date guide ?

6) I believe this phone is the UK version does this mean my digitizer is prone to failure ?

EDIT:

Can the UK version unlock extra RAM ?

Apparently you can also unlock N wireless?

Also can you supercharge the android on te HD2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16635544#post16635544

Thanks guys.
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
1.Not necessarily: with care and patience, no dust! If this is your first time(as I suppose so!) replacing a hd2 digitizer I doubt you'll get it done...

2.I don't recommend even to try this job, but with a lot of care and some luck , you may do this, trying shortcuts will be your key to failure(90%)!

3. As far as I know, answer is NO, but you can try anything you want...

4. Wrong: one version of android bootloader (MAGLDR) do not charge your hd2 while is off, the other one (CLK) can do this, both bootloaders can do this while your device is booted.

5. Go to android nand development section...

6. Some rumours say so, but I'd say it's subjective...

I'm not quite sure, but I'd say it is possible to get some extra RAM...

Sorry, I'm not sure what do you mean by N wireless...

If you reffer to overclocking as supercharging, answer is YES, otherwise I don't know!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
1. I have never read any post that said the user had dust under their screen in the HD2 forums. And I have read a lot of post in the HD2 forums.

2. No the videos showing you tearing down the device are spot on. It is not something for just anyone to try. It requires ease and patience.

3.I do not know anything about the simlock calculator you found so I can not advise. Under certain circumstances you can get a device sim unlock code for free. But you bought yours off EBay so you do not fit those circumstances.

4. Yes you can charge the device with the micro USB port. The thing is that if you use MAGLDR as your custom bootloader you can only charge while you are booted into the OS. If you use clk for your custom bootloader you can charge your device while it is off.

5. Ok I am not saying that the guide linked in my sig is the most up to date, but I do have a link to the latest version of clk in it. Plus it upset two links to two of GPS best guides out there for installing NAND Android. Plus I have links to te HD2 NAND Toolkit and Easy Android. I believe with the wealth of information that mine and the other guides I have linked you will have no troubles. So just click on the HD2 Guide linked in my Sig.

6. No not that I know of. You have the same chance as anyone for your digitizer to go out I would say.

About unlocking the RAM, I cover this in my guide if you read through it. But here is the low down on it. You have to flash a TMOUS radio to unlock the extra RAM, any radio over 2.08.50.?? will do.

Last to be honest I do not know watt you mean by N wireless. And as for the you posted, that could not hurt to try, but I have never used it.

[General Questions and Answers] Elositoingles:
Hi guys. Love this site but I am encountering some issues! I am having problems with the drivers (it appears), of my p990h. I am new to android (only had my device a week), and have duly thrown myself in the deep end to try and make the most from the device and have encountered some issues. I am in Colombia and bought the phone here. I ‘rooted’ the device using the ‘Super One Click’ method and had no issues. I then performed the fatory reset and installed the ‘Cm9.0.0-rco-p990-unofficial’ rom (build 43-owain@warmachine). I didn’t experience issues up to this point. However (and i know i messed up here), i then flashed baseband version 1035.21_20110725 using smartflash. Big mistake as then the time on the phone changed all to European time, and now although the device can be read by my computer, it cannot connect to it and a yellow exclamation appears on the device in device manager. I have tried everyway to update this, but no joy. Tried reflashing with smartflash, but now nothing happens when the phone is connected (nothing appears in the ‘coms port’ box). If i use the lg tool, it doesn’t even list my p990 as a device whose drivers i can download.

So basically I would like to know if anyone can help me:

a)	get the drivers working properly again so I can connect the device and update.

And

b)	if anyone can get me the 1035.21_20110602 baseband files to go back to how it was previously. Have looked everywhere but no luck. I downloaded one, but i cant seem to find a way to use use it (it appears as a clockworkmod folder and macosx folder. I haven’t used them as i couldn’t figure out how!

May i need to re-root my device, could this be the issue? This had occurred to me that the superuser settings may have something to do with this.

I also want to be able to restore my phone to its stock settings as i really need my camera back up and going properly whilst here in Colombia.

I have spent the last week trawling these forums reading everyone’s posts and learning from you guys, so a big thanks out there to you all who have got me this far – many thanks. Seems like a great community and im looking forward to getting more involved, and learning about the murky waters of android (even though im having some difficulties i love it!) . I apologise for any poor wording and general noobiness that may cause any misunderstanding! I will try and answer any questions/replies i may get as accurately as possible.

I really hope someone can help me as I cant keep going in circles – i have a 12 hour bus ride tomorrow so gotta get it done.

Many thanks in you lovely people!
