If you are Tethering without the HotSpot plan, then yes, you are misusing the data. I pay for the HotSpot and have had months in the 60-95gig range. Why didn't I have regular internet? Because I was mobile. No physical address and parking my RV where I could to get through some tough economic times.

I paid a total of $60/month for such service and feel that anyone who complains about high data usage can take a hike. UNLESS you want to state that people are misusing that data under a PHONE ONLY data plan. 50,60, 90 gigs of data without a HotSpot/Tethering plan is obvious signs of TOS violating data usage. But, I've never saw anyone ask those they complain about if they pay extra for tethering.

My question is, do you think that using 90-95 gigs a month when paying $60 for Data AND HotSpot to be excessive usage? If so, I disagree. Even Comcast allows 250Gigs, even more if you have a 50-100Mpbs Internet Service Package.

[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Comcast uped theirs to 300gb ;)

I think Verizon only offered unlimited to get a lot more activations tbh. But everyone is moving away from unlimited now. I used to have unlimited but I stil do, just gotta pay overage fees. But its whatever, I use it as I please, if i go over, then I go over lol

Hi am currently running on arhd 6.0.0 bricked kernel 0.3 why is my CPU clocked at 1000mhz and why not 1500 MHz?
[HTC One X] harsharockzzz:
See the screenshot here..
[HTC One X] stathis95194:
If battery is below a certain level (not sure about the % someone else might help) the CPU underclocks to 1GHz to save battery
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
if your battery is less than 30%, the CPU frequency is set to 1GHZ.

The Tegra 3 is set to the following frequencies:

1.5GHz max for 1 core

1.4GHz max for 2 cores

1.2 GHz max for 3 to 4 cores
[HTC One X] harsharockzzz:
So by your logic.. even if the phone is charged to 100% the frequency will be 1200 mhz if all the cores are working ?
[HTC One X] farnsbarns:
I think he's correct, if you are using all 4 cores then the max clock speed is 1200MHz. 4 cores at 1200MHz will out perform 1 at 1500MHz of course so it's not as if you'd be better off on 1 core or anything like that.
[HTC One X] treebill:
and just to double the correctness

look at terga stats at bottom on screens

4 cores bench

2 cores bench
[HTC One X] anubis1980:
My friends hox did this he did a factory reset and it fixed the core speed.
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
Here are the screen shorts of running AnTuTu on 2 cores, 3 cores and 4 cores

2 cores = 1.4 GHz maximum

3 cores = 1.2 to 1.4 GHz maximum

4 cores = 1.2 GHz maximum

Set no of cores using CoreControl

Monitor CPU usage using Tablet CPU Usage

Hope this will clear up any questions.
[HTC One X] joshnichols189:
Yes. That is how the processor is designed. It isn't "his" logic it is Nvidia's.
[HTC One X] treebill:
Yup running 1.5 on 4 cores would over heat and is monster over kill
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
Running on 4 cores is monster overkill period. :D

I've been running on 2 cores for the last couple of days and everything runs fine inc demanding games (GTA III, Dark Meadow and Shadow Gun).

P.S. I did found the game loads a bit slower than running on 4 cores.
[HTC One X] treebill:
Agreed if you install tegra stats you'll see it doesn't often run all 4 cores. I'm doing the same just running on 2 cores.
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
I can confirm that...

I tried a few games last weekend, after setting only two active cores and got less heating and mostly just a tricke of discharge while plugged into the wall charger - whereas before I would get overheating and fast discharge even when connected to the mains

PS - discharge while charger plugged in only with 3D demanding games (shadowgun and GreatLittleWarGame)

this section on xda for electrify/ photon is just about dead now. this Pisces used to be very active but now seems like everyone left. .... where did you guys go? just in the last few weeks this place went from a very active community to barely there.. .... massage someone should just start an electrify section and just post what ever works for electrify from photon there..... sure sprint gave the photon an eol but it is still an awesome phone! and us cellular still had their rebadged version for sale now.... so as i said. .. where did you all go? i miss you all.

How did you flash it. Can you describe the method you used. Did you wipe dalvik twice. Are u unlocked. Did you perform a nandroid prier to flashing the mod?

There are a few floating around the development thread. Sucks you on 2.3.5 because I believe the bootloader is still locked which means you can't use cwm which is required for nearly all mods and fixes

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Standard disclaimer, if you screw up your phone, it's nobody's fault but your own, etc. But I have had my phone in a boot loop, I've panicked, I've freaked out, and I'm happily running CM9. Interested? Read on.

Mopar, if you were shipped 2.3.5, you can unlock... There's a "Pudding" method here and an "electrify.zip" method on Team US Cellular. I used the latter. It was stupidly easy. Stupidly, as in, I was stupid for not doing it sooner. I am running Joker's CM9 (2 versions out, but everyone is complaining about the newest ones, so I'm happy where I'm at with 0.6.1) and it works great. Gingerblur was okay (the stock ROM) because the Electrify is a beast. CM9? Haha! If you have the same luck I have, it will blow your mind.

Oh, nobody likes to mention, but unlocking your phone wipes it. You're rooted, so get Titanium Backup (free version works... but really... pay the man his six bucks on his site and get the unlocker... it's so worth it) and backup everything. Unlock. Boot in, log into Google, install Titanium, restore everything. Go into CWM and make a Nandroid backup.

In CWM, wipe data/cache, and format system. Format system is in another area of CWM, not the wipe area. I think it's in the mount menu. Then flash CM9. Then flash CM9 again. I don't know why. You just gotta do that. Then flash GApps if you want 'em. It's some of the Google apps. Maps/Street View not included.

Don't restore your Titanium backups. At least not the normal way. You will boot loop. Write down the names of the apps. Download the apps from the Market (some have ICS versions, you do not want to restore the Gingerbread versions). Use Titanium to restore the data only of each app. Don't restore any of the system settings! You will boot loop!

Optional but useful: Now put your SD card in your computer. Move your Nandroid and Titanium folders to your PC. Stick 'em in a folder called Gingerblur or whatever.

Now run Titanium and have it back up all the ICS-downloaded apps and your restored data. It will find an empty folder. Fine. Let it fill it with ICS goodness. When you update CM9, you can restore everything from Titanium.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
thanks! No one has actually gave me an almost step by step guide for this. But I think mine was just a refurb so stuck with locked bootloader. I realty wantics though. I have a computer but only way to connect to internet is by tethering which is so slow. I don't know anything about adb out cwm. Ice only played with android on sd cards for windows devices.... Edited build. Props for stuff, most with no results or undesired results
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
You are only stuck with a locked bootloader if your phone came with Android 2.3.4 and you were manually updated to 2.3.5. If it came with 2.3.5, you can unlock. Using the method I did, there is a point where if you cannot unlock, it will give you a certain error, I forget what, and you can safely back out, no harm no foul.

And I'm glad to help anytime.
[Motorola Photon 4G] moparfreak426:
Alright. I'm on break now 9:17. I get off work at 3. Wanna help me get it all situated by gtalk all u can or on laptop via teamviewer? I sure hope IM not locked.

Uhm..... I think I put electrify folder in root of c drive, cmd

C:\>electrify

'electrify' is not recognized add an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
You might be stuck, I'm not familiar with the test you did in the page you linked, so I can't tell you anything differently about those test results.

And, meaning no offense, a little better knowledge of DOS/command prompt commands might be in order. Most command prompts in XP/Vista/7 open in the current directory, i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\user\ or something. Since you're already in C, you would just need the command:

cd\electrify

-or-

cd \electrify

to go to the root and then the electrify folder. Or you would do:

cd\

-then\

cd electrify

(Change dir to root, change dir to electrify).

Hope that helps. I see you're online; I'll respond to your PM momentarily.

Have you tried the new tablet mode? Also there's a semi new ubuntop update. Not to mention the single most amazing thing sense the first stable cm9 for the photon is the ability to use this phone on domestic GSM networks.

[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
What issues are you having?

Edit: I read your post on the cm9 thread and as joker has stated it sounds like a simple battery issues. You would be shocked at how much a faulty battery can effect a phone. Its not just with the photon its with every cell phone ever. I have experienced this with a Sony Xperia x10, HTC inspire, Samsung epic 4G touch and I've seen others have this issues with many others, including the iPhone. Its a very common problem and you can call Motorola (NOT SPRINT) and tell them you are having random reboots and you think its your battery. They will send you a brand new battery for free. Also don't buy an after market battery.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
The phone has been out for nearly a year now. After a year on the market, adoption of the phone goes down dramatically when it comes to the average joe. Our developers are top notch, and frankly we have quite a few of them. While permalocking the bootloader might have potentially prevented us from getting a couple more quality devs, the silver lining is that its also prevents noobs from flooding the forums with nonsense like the gs2 forum has to deal with. If youve had the phone since prior to the permalock, then you really only have yourself to blame for being subject to it. Even if you wanted to stay locked for 4g, you still had options that would have allowed you to use very nice locked roms without having to take the lockedupdate. My point is, youre dead wrong in your assumption that nothing new gets released, as their are weekly updates to 5 or 6 of our current roms. So if you cant make use of it, well, only part of the blame can be placed on Moto.

@jaemostoriginal

People answered your question. Your problems arnt because of the rom. And phone parts break, its the way it is with every phone ever released. Sbf back to stock, have em fix it.

Not sure but if you could figure out what the intent is to call rosie (sense app drawer) then you could possibly create a LauncherPro shortcut to open it? Any smali gods out there know if this would be possible?
[HTC One X] SolusCado:
That's pretty much exactly what I am doing. I use Apex Launcher as my launcher, but I have a shortcut created by xShortcuts that launches Rosie for the photo widget. Unfortunately, I don't think you can call a specific screen - you can only call the launcher itself.
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yup that's the way it is possible but man that's pretty much time you loose by opening sense just for having these sense widgets.

And you have 2 launchers running then since sense will be only killed when you reboot again.

Dunno for what you want that sense widgets but I would look at play store and see if there is a alternative widget which maybe has even a themeable skin?!
