[Thunderbolt General] Milimbar:
They can see your radio version every time you connect to their towers, They can see your software/kernel/baseband if they like through the information your phone sends to them as you use it. Also they still have stuff like Carrier IQ on phones that COULD even read you your text messages if they wanted. Dont think they cant see it because they can. They just dont let you know they can because it could be considered illegal.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
This is BS because if that's the case they would have made me pay full price on two different occasions for phones that were rooted when I sent them back.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Seeing the radio version doesn't tell any carrier that someone is rooted. Being rooted is software related not radio related. Not unless custom radios are around, which is not available for the tbolt and im sure not for any other phone for that matter.

The only info phones send to the network is account information so the tower knows whether or not to provide service. That's it.

If they knew more details about a device then they would have no reason to ask us about our phone. They wouldn't waste their time as the info would pop up on their computer screens. If they saw anything other than the latest official OTA, then they would tell you that they can't do anything and that you voided your warranty so even switching back to stock won't make them change their mind.

The fact they would "waste" time to find out every detail from you pretty much sums up that this info is NOT available to them. CSRs like to help the customer as quickly as possible to get them off the line and help the next. And at this moment, asking customers about their phones is the quickest way.
[Thunderbolt General] Milimbar:
So you think that those little forum signatures that can tell you what OS you are running, what browser and even your IP know more about your phone than your carrier?

Must be nice to be that gullible.

Think what you will, I know for a fact they can see the information. They literally don't care. The warranty is through another company and has nothing to do with Verizon. It is also perfectly legal to root your phone and do what you want with it as of July 26 2010 http://www.androidguys.com/2010/07/26/rooting-android-phone-longer-crime/

The only thing it does is void any extended warranty you bought. So do restore to stock for returns to asurion and the likes.

They ask you because the lower tier CS people do not have access to your phone information, if you are escalated enough you will eventually find someone who can and will rattle off all your information to you.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
If you can provide proof then I will take back what I said and apologize. I've played dumb before in the past just to see if it was possible for tier 2 and 3 (technical departments) to know this information. I simply stated that I didn't know how to access the about phone section. They tried to "help" me access this section and i pretended I was getting frustrated. I asked them to see if there was a way for them to see it on their systems and they told me no. They couldn't "help" me with my pretend issue unless I gave them this info. So all I was given was generic troubleshooting tips. They then stated to take it to the store for the CSR to look at my phone for the software version. I did this on a couple of occasions just to get a different Rep each time.

Yes, your mobile browser sends browser info to a website, and OS info. User agent strings are sent so that a website will know how to display the website on the browser. You can easily set the user agent to the stock HTC user agent. But this is irrelevant to Verizon as I can install different browsers on my phone which have unique user agents for each one. Just because my phone sends a dolphin user agent or maxathon user agent and not the stock HTC user agent, this does not imply I am rooted.

OS version is very easy to hack. You can edit this by going to the build.prop and change the OS version to the stock version and I'm sure there is a hack to fake the kernal (you might have to recompile the kernal to change the name)

All the IP address provides is the owner of the IP address (i.e. verizon) and in some cases, the general location of where the IP is being used. Verizon's LTE/EHRPD network use private IP addresses so it would be difficult to pin point a phone or information based on IP. This network uses Dynamic IPs so your IP will not be the same all the time. You have to pay extra to get a static address (business account). It is illegal to use an IP to gain access to any additional information unless a court order demands this.

The point of this is that you can pretty much make your rooted phone appear stock if it was really necessary to do so. Its a variant of Linux and Linux is very easy to work with if you know what you are doing.
[Thunderbolt General] Milimbar:
Yup, does anyone just randomly do this though?

Sorry to cause the topic to get sidetracked like this, I was just trying to point out that Verizon don't care if we root or not.
[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
If you can root your phone, then its a start. Your typical average user doesn't know what root means or even care what possibilities exist. I am pretty much the only person at my job who is rooted and I've had people ask me how I got my phone to look a certain way and they want their phone like this. When I explain the root process, they say screw that. Most people I know who are rooted know exactly what they can do with a rooted device. And new comers to rooting eventually pick up speed. Linux may be intimidating at first, but once you play around, you see how easy it is.

Hi,

I unlock bootloader in sony xperia u in official way throught sony. I have sony xperia U naturally, everything went good, i have unlocked bootloader but phone looks like without root:confused: rom manager, superuser and other apps say i havent got root, where can be mistake?:confused::confused::confused:

I unlocked bootlader from official B.3.184
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] darksherko:
Boot loader unlock doesn't give root?

Must be done yourself

Get a recovery

And flash kernel with auto root

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] petulikt:
and this is other problem, i use recoverx to flash clockword mod recovery, it flash cwm and reboot phone, but i cannot go into recovery, i try push volume + button when phone is starting but nothing, i try reboot in recovery too in rom manager app but it writes "an error occurred while attempting to run privilileged commands....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fareeed:
I think it would be better if you flashed an auto rooting kernel, check the dev section for the U I think there may be one or two. If you would consider yourself a bit of a beginner check the Xperia S dev section and there's a great Info thread by DooMLoRD. I advise you read that as it'll answer all of your questions :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] petulikt:
yes i know that flash kernel with root should be best decision, but i cannot reboot into recovery, i think it can be problem with this new firmware which i describe below, no other solution i dont find. When i try unlock bootloader again it says that i have unlocked bootloader yet, but i cant flash older firmware, because phone still goes from flashmode after some seconds, i try it with sony pc companion, and with flashtool too, both cannot flash older firmware. So i have unlock bootloader but without root:D i cant flash older firmware and have no solution:D great one
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] JoelChrist_:
flash a kerbel trough fastboot with fastboot flash boot kerbel.elf

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] beastr:
yeah it does there are some mods and tweaks you can use to increase the volume. You can also use an equalizer like dspmanager or poweramps

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
The problem is that you're wrong. It can be adjusted and sounds just fine when it has been adjusted. Telling people that it's a terrible speaker and there's nothing you can do about it is not helpful, nor truthful. No one asked you to say it's the loudest speaker you've ever heard. You just don't need to come to a thread and spread lies about a phone you no longer own, and apparently don't know enough about.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] slowfncar:
The sound output is low on your evo lte? Wow dude its pretty damn loud to me and I have 32ohm headphones.I'd imagine normal 16ohm headphones would be louder. This device has more and a cleaner noticable output then my og evo/evo 3d/gs3. Maybe you have a defective device? Anyway there are ways to raise audio output voltage but it has to be done through kernel I think

Also the speaker isnt that loud but it does play frequencys nicely for a phone speaker. I'm assuming the old evo lineup had bad speakers,I have blown quite a few so perhaps they set the max volume low. Which can be raised through qpst or a bunch of other software

My headphone volume is off the charts. I use power amp with the native beats and I'm more than satisfied with the volume level. I have the beats in ear headphones and there more than adequate. If your volume is low or not to your liking then you may want to see if you have a faluty device. Also there are mods you can utilize to adjust the volume as well.

Dude, Samsung has really loud sounds through their phone speakers. It's soo loud it makes HTC seem to whisper while Samsung sings. My evo4g sounds were never loud compared to my girl's Samsung epic. And now my HTC one music (which is louder than the og evo) is still softer than the stupid Samsung epic. I'd say fail HTC! Who cares for stupid beats audio or whatever. The speaker can't even beat an epic!

The volume on my phone, after flashing CM10, seems a bit poorer than I remember it. Very hard to tell if that's really the case, or if I'm imagining things, but that's the way it seems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
If you're seriously listening to music through your phone.... I don't know what to even say to you. It's plenty loud enough to hear, and if you want to crank it, get a real set of speakers or use a proper stereo. Beats Audio is SUPPOSEDLY good for when you're using headphones, so that has nothing to do with the speaker volume anyway (note that the word supposedly is because it is actually a gimmick that sells).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] manaup:
Yeah. Thanks. I'm actually going to look into a set of external speakers :)

Unfortunately beats audio didn't sell me the phone. Sorry HTC. It just didn't have that affect on me. I bought the phone because of the quality build you showed me through the og evo. Stop with the gimmick, Y'all(htc) don't need it.

First of all, wrong forum!!. This should be in Q&A. If you have a rooted device, download a rom of your choice and copy it to your sdcard.

This has been happening on every android device afaik, tried on GT-P1000, on GT-S5660 and now on GT-S5830 (that's galaxy tab 7", galaxy Gio and galaxy ace).

On CM7 it's impossible to receive or send MMS unless you have an active internet connection which can't be wi-fi btw only data works. This is a major issue, data plans in Portugal are a pain in the ass and expensive but MMS service is free. Now, the MMS works IF you delete the data for internet however as soon as you reboot it stops working. Setting mms profile to * or default, mms also does the trick however 50% of the time also fails to work. On stock Rom it works just fine and this seems to be an issue with data profiles on the cm7 Rom itself.

Now for my question, anyone knows a way to fix this? I've googled for ages with no luck.

My carrier is Vodafone Portugal and the APN are configured using the APN Portugal app on the play store which works just fine on CM9 and Stock.

Thank you very much in advance for taking the time to read this and answering if at all.
