[HTC Rezound] destro158:
I used to think that auto-brightness was killing my battery, but from doing some informal tests I actually found very little difference in battery life using 25-50% brightness versus auto-brightness. I'd be interested if other people have different experiences.

Actually I've noticed that Google Maps also keeps waking up my phone and using the GPS recently. What ROM are you on? I'm on Viper 1.0.3.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I think the tweaks on Newt's Rom has an option to change the scaling of the auto-brightness, meaning that you move the whole scale down so that it is dimmer at given light levels than stock. I'm not sure if it ever goes to full value though and that would disappoint me on sunny days. :eek:

http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/31/verizon-to-stop-blocking-tethering-apps-settles-with-fcc-for-1/

looks pretty real to me. engadget included a press release
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I don't put a lot of weight in the lemming blog world. On the other hand, anecdotal stories of apps downloaded on non-rooted GNs while working at non-throttled 4G speeds... Unfortunately, Verizon can detect tethering and have their way in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Do you put stock in government press releases?

http://www.fcc.gov/document/verizon-wireless-pay-125-million-settle-investigation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tower1972:
looks like Droid Life has the article also. Now to find one that works properly (even though I have nothing to tether for lol)

Pdanet shows up as available for me now :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_10:
carriers can detect tethering but it takes a lot of money and time to deploy the software. even with that i'm not sure how they can block it down to the account and phone number level as the blocking would have to be done at the mtso's. they would have to allow some accounts and numbers to tether and block other accounts on unlimited. i don't think they have the software and capability to implement blocking at a account level at the mtso's.

HOWEVER, they can later bill you for tethering on unlimited plans. but i'm sure many people tether on their rooted and not-rooted phones. there are many free wifi tether apps. i haven't heard any mass outcry about people getting caught and charged.

so if they haven't done anything about it so far, it's doubtful that they are. maybe it's just too costly to implement. cost outweighs the benefits?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It doesn't matter now. They can detect it all day long, but they can't do anything about it. Not without violating the settlement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h_10:
you can only tether on a limited plan. their blocking or charging tethering on an unlimited plan does not break the settlement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thats fine. I will tether on my wife's phone ;)

I'd like to see them try and block apps per account type though. Simply not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theredspecial:
This seems like a semi-appropriate place to ask...

What is the best tethering app for the Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Open door for Google Wallet?

"The FCC has ruled that Verizon violated the rules governing the C Block of LTE spectrum by preventing consumers from using any application of their choice. "

Doesn't this make blocking access to Google Wallet a violation of the agreement as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleach168:
And now I see why tethering is included for free in the new shared plans. For a moment, I thought Verizon lost its greedy ways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nighthawk243:
I think the main way they detect tethering right now is to look at data usage that is above and beyond what someone using a cell phone/tablet would ever achieve.

Me, when I tether on my phone; I'm using a small amount of data (either using a site that doesn't exactly work well on a mobile browser, or just using my netbook while eating out)... I'm not using it to download torrents or as my main internet connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
I never doubted the ruling. It was the end result I questioned.

Sure sounds like Verizon has the flexibility to plop a fee on tethered unlimited data users. It was $20 but could go a lot higher.

After reading ("Block C") Title 47 paragraph 27.16, as always, Verizon can still throttle as needed for network management.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

I think so. It's been argued that way in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Liquid_Cool:
I use my hotspot all the time from my gnex especially when using my tablet. Running about 8gb a month and they take away my unlimited I'll have to go hunting for free net elsewhere...lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1xx3r:
So,whats the best app to use for a stock VGNEX??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
I like FoxFi. Free on Google Play, no root, works like a champ.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
AFAIK Google wallet only uses cell to get region all location (from basic service signal). Also, Google is not a cell service provider licensing spectrum from a government body, so they're not violating any FCC provisions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] g1xx3r:
Thanks,works like a charm!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmericanCon:
I use about 20 gigs a month without any sort of warning or throttle so I think you'll be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Doubt Verizon can do **** to those w/ unlimited data plans.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Guys, over 70% of VZW customers are on unlimited plans...it would be (in theory) all but impossible for them to keeps tabs on all of us without incurring incredible costs. I think we're in the clear...:D

Galaxy Nexus - Liquid JB v2 Beta 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TiltedAz:
Where'd you find "over 70%?" I could only find 38.7% and it drops over time. In any event, they can always target their efforts on large data (ab)users.

"Research firm iGR has estimated that of the combined subscriber base of Verizon Wireless and AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T), 38.7 percent are on grandfathered unlimited data plans."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Yes, but Google isn't the one blocking access to Wallet (or at least I can't imagine why Google would be) . They way I read the provision, Verizon is not allowed to block access to features or applications on a device that uses that spectrum. A quick search of the internet seems to confirm that interpretation. But like most things, I'm almost sure quick search will provide the opposite opinion as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Google does block it. However they block it per Verizon's request.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Which is exactly the same as the tethering apps. Verizon doesn't block them, they request Google block them. I can't see how Wallet is any different.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Wait, why would Google block access to Wallet? Wouldn't they want MORE people to use it to get more market penetration and establish a bigger userbase before ISIS launches?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
This is not true at all. The ruling is that VZW can ONLY charge a fee for tethering to customers on the grandfathered unlimited data plan, all other plans get free tethering.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpinsl:
Not sure how you reached that conclusion. The ruling has nothing to say about unlimited versus metered data plans. It simply states that Verizon cannot limit the applications and devices available to its customers in the C block.

http://www.fcc.gov/document/verizon-wireless-pay-125-million-settle-investigation

The Verizon TOS contractual terms still apply.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Wallet is not an app that uses spectrum. It's not blocked for "using vzw's network" like tethering apps were. Google blocked it due to software reasons, not data reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjhiza:
Ahh, fair enough. I did some research a few months ago, when news about the unlimited plan getting the chop first broke. It was from the Verizon site, but it was from 2011, so the numbers may have changed. Thanks for the updated stats. :thumbup:

Galaxy Nexus - Liquid JB v2 Beta 1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3devious:
When they started throttling 3g users in the Fall of 2011, there was no warning. They just did it. The only sort of warning we got were vague statements to the press. Believe me you don't want them to do it to you. It sucks.

Oh but they can, you are either too optimistic or aren't creative about being evil. Luckily, their lawyers are practically at the super-villain level when it comes to being evil geniuses!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NookFan:
The ruling is specifically about the LTE spectrum. I wonder what this means for 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nosit1:
"In addition, the company recently revised its service offerings such that consumers on usage-based

pricing plans may tether, using any application, without paying an additional fee."

Usage based. Still not totally safe.

Unroot your phone

Then root it again

Then try to update it

Or replace busybox file in /system/xbin

And set permission

[Nexus S General] KBanause:
Ever since I moved to Jelly Bean I faced the problem that some widgets always disappear whenever I reboot my phone (in my case it was Beautifule Widgets and Pure Calendar). Today I got an email from the developer of Pure Calendar Widget containing a link to this article. I tried it and since then my widget don't disappear again.

To summarize the article:

Create a backup of the app which contains the widget in Titanium Backup

Uninstall the app using Titanium Backup

restore it with Titanium Backup
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
This is a known workaround but you need Titanium Backup and it only works on rooted devices.

Join the "spur Google to release a fix" party: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880

I believe that Google hires competent people... why didn't a team of competent developers release a fix after more than 2 weeks? I think many people on this forum could fix it in 2 hours, not weeks.
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
I thought it was a problem with Beautiful Widgets first because I only had this problem with that first. Then after some tests Pure Calendar Widgets made problems too.

I only learned of that workaround today by that email I received. But I already starred that issue too ;)
[Nexus S General] rschauby:

[HTC One X] schidddy:
can anybody guide me through making a flashable zip from a rom.zip which i gained from a original RUU for my branded HTC one X? Problem here is that this ROM i want to create should not contain or do any hboot/firmwares updates as currently i am on a higher base then the current available RUUs for my phone. So because of this i cannot just install the original RUU to go back to the original branded ROM. Somebody told me that i have to take out the system.img to achive my goal, so thats what i also tried. i Extracted the system.img out of the rom.Zip and placed it in a new rom.zip folder without all the hboot.img and oder files.

This is how far i am for sow now:

-extracted the rom zip out of the ruu

-installed dsixdas ANdroid rom kichten

- did set up a working folder with the rom.zip from the original ruu

-tried to build a new rom out of the working folder in two ways ->

1. with the whole rom.zip containing everything original

2. rom.zip just containing the system.img

everytime i try to flash the built zip file, it gives me error in /sdcard/update.zip status 0 in recovery.

Is that right that i have to flash the stock kernel and recovery.img after sucessful flashing my own rom? What else should i do? Hope somebody could help me out!

what do i have to do now?

My main goal is to go back to my original branded rom so i can do the OTA updates which are available.

thank u in advance
[HTC One X] schidddy:
anyone?
[HTC One X] ptcool:
I tried the same things you did, My device is HTC Explorer (Pico) and got the same error message while flushing. You cant try putting META-INF folder from other custom rom and try to rebuild the rom. this trick worked for me once. I am no expert of creating rom I am a complete noob just sharing my experience. Do it with your own risk. Sorry for my bad English.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamdog30:
Ok, what I need to know is which rom will allow me full flash support, and the ability to play music that I have downloaded as I love this tablet but it feels like a three legged dog in regard to what I can do!!

Or is this when people advise that I wait for the Cyanogen rom to arrive.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifasarajevo:
there are quite a few roms in the development section that have flash player pre loaded, as for music you can just use an app to play it (not really sure what you meant by that) or you can use something like amazon mp3 if you need to play music through the cloud.

Also in terms of flash i believe the stock browsers (chrome and maybe the stock browsers) dont support flash at all
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianjr1:
I'm currently using paranoid android rom over in original development and I'm loving it. I found the flash apk off of Google and it works perfectly with the stock browser. As well, the whole app by app screen orientation selection is super nice. It's based on a cm10 port.

EOS was nice cause they had a good tablet mode using the normal DPI.

Now there are a few other ROMs picking that feature up. Most all worked the same. Its just about which options you want. Everything is still new so some ROMs get features before others but eventually they'll all be the same pretty much.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waryww:
The Telus/Bell are both the i747m I believe but when I do flashing/roms, I'm guessing I pick just the same as the AT&T but looking through a few things, all seems rather complicated now, seems like some are asking if I'm Telus or Bell. I had someone unlock my phone from Telus so I could use it on the Bell network. Reason being, I used someones promotional contract to buy it on their Telus account but unlocked it to work on Bell. So when I do anything custom to this phone and download the correct files, would I download the Telus files or Bell files? On a personal note, I don't plan on ever using Telus. Ever...

Also my samsung s3 is running incredibly slow and i'm not sure why. Is there a way to find this out? It's felt slow since day 1 and when I loaded my sms from my iPhone it went slower on messages and the whole in general, however I'm not totally sure it's directly related. Apparently I have 46,000 sms, but would this really slow down all sms and my whole phone? these are just text files the xml backup file is only 15MB. I'm preparing to move to CM10 once I undersatnd more and their next build is out. My phone is terribly slow. half the time i get an error asking me to stop sms or wait for it to respond and the phone takes about 3 to 4 seconds to respond on certain things. My phone battery lasts about 8 hours max. charging from 0% to full takes about 4-6 hours. it dies faster than it charges it seems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] saj222:
Holy crap that's a lot of sms!

Have you tried erasing them all (after backing them up) to see if performance improves? That might be a good place to start.

In terms of poor battery, I suffered the same thing. After testing and documenting I was able to exchange the battery for a new one. Things are much better now.

Search XDA for 'better battery stats' and install it. It may help track down your battery drain issue(s).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] maroc73:
.

I am in the opposite situation. i am on telus but using unlocked bell s3. in my case i dont have performance issue but i hate the bloatware that comes with bell version. when i install Telus software, Kies complains and tell me the software update for this phone is not supported. when i go back to bell software then it is ok. Maybe we should swap phones:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
Both of yall with problems are obviously running touchwiz software, and doing everything possible not to wipe... or switch ROMs... doesn't even have to be AOSP, but 14k SMS?! Better be for court... export them to an .XML

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmbauer:
So I have upgraded my Nexus S i9020a (AT&T) with ROM from the google dev site....

(I cannot post links yet)

developers.google.com -> android/nexus/images

I installed the JRO03E base OS from the T-Mobile / Global version (sojujro03e)

and just the radio from (sojuajro03e)

For the most part things are working fine but it does seem to crash on me while on calls a couple times a day (which is like and 1/4 of the time) so far.

I guessing this crashing is due to my mixing of roms but I figured I would ask if

1) Has anyone else tried this and what is their experience?

2) Is anyone seeing crashing with the sojuajro03e or sojujro03e as is?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charchuck:
You installed the T-Mobile/9023 version for AT&T? Maybe that's your problem. You need to flash sojua for AT&T as far as I know.

I have a 9020 on AT&T and I installed it a week or so ago... been running great.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmbauer:
Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info yes I can go back to that to a the pure AT&T rom. I am just saying there may or may not be some benefits to having a rom that does not call back to AT&T so they can double charge you for the same data you already pay them for.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BeastMode3215:
So I found the way to change the size of the text message on the screen by going into your main text message page, clicking the menu button, selecting settings, and then checking the "use the volume key" to change the text size. The issue I continue to run into is that when I shrink the text size down to where I want it, then I move out from that text message box and text others, going back into the person I shrunk the text message size down on, it is back to its original size. Is there a way to save the setting so I dont have to keep changing the size each time I go in and text?

[Acer Iconia A500] JUN10R831:
If you where like me who tried to flash the ICS recovery and bootloader only to get stuck in the starting kernel screen with no adb,no recovery and couldn't connect to the computer well here's something that might help. I found this app in the Andoid general section its universal flasher AIO by fonehacker and it got my tablet up and running in less than 10 min here's how I did it.

1. Download the app from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28719715

2. Download your HC recovery

3. Make sure you have a HC rom in your SD card prior to running any thing.

4. Place your tablet into recovery by holding power button and the volume down tell your bootlader starts and click in the fastboot option from the recovery screen.

5. After you extract the files run the app and click on the flash recovery option.

6. Find the recovery you downloaded and click on flash with fastboot wait tell it does its thing

7. Reboot into the bootloader by holding the power button and volume down button your gonna have the same screen as before but this time scroll to the reboot recovery option and it should boot into recovery.

8. Once in recovery flash your rom that you downloaded earlier and flash away as always.

I take no credit for this app I only used it to fix my tablet this app was made by fonehacker so any thanks go to him not me I only wanted to share this app because I no so many people are lost using the apx method and don't have there uid. If you need any help feel free to pm me and again I take no credit for this app all credit goes to fonehacker.

Fair enough, my problem is no connection with pc. Cheers anyway :)
