I'm guessing this is a question specifically about AT&T forcing a data plan on you otherwise this wouldn't be an issue. Either that or shirtlessrabbit4 had a Palm webOS device, which is the last handset I remember which required a data plan to activate.

I don't know how AT&T checks if your using a proper smartphone, unless they just reference it against a database of IMEI numbers of AT&T branded phones. If that is the case, maybe you should buy a T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro, having a IMEI on record with only T-Mobile?

T-Mobile will require you to have a data plan, too... a pay-as-you-go $1.99/MB data plan. If you switch your data connections off in the settings, you won't have to worry about these insane charges, but you also won't be able to send MMS messages, even though MMS data is not metered.

The best option may be Simple Mobile or Straight Talk which have prepaid $40 and $45/mo monthly unlimited plans, respectively. Each "unlimited" plan has an actual data cap of around 2.5GB/mo. I don't think you even need to have your phone carrier-unlocked to use it on either MVNO, but DVP unlock codes are essentially free now anyway.

I noticed that there are a number of ebay sellers with "buy-it-now / or best offer" listings around $150 for condition new DVP handsets, so you could potentially score a lower price. Keep in mind that ebay buyer protection ensures your satisfaction, even if the seller does not accept returns as a policy.

[Venue Pro General] shirtlessrabbit4:
Well my normal phone is on Verizon (I'm using it now), but I just wanted a windows phone 7 device to use as an alternate device to mod or use at home. So I meant more like no activations at all and no plan, just the device and on a wifi network. I guess in the open I should've said I can't afford ANOTHER data plan, and I surely don't need another phone number, just want to use a dvp without charges :)
[Venue Pro General] shirtlessrabbit4:
Could I simply do what you did and just nix the sim card to get what I'm trying to do? Sounds simple :)
[Venue Pro General] Technosquid:
You might want to consider getting an HTC HD2 or a Samsung Focus. Seems like all the custom ROM development are on those devices. With the HTC HD2 you can dual boot Android ICS and WP7.5 Tango (with sideloadability, lots of mods, or non at all if you prefer.) The Focus is a standard Galaxy S handset with Windows Phone on it, and is easy to sideload apps on using WindowBreak.

Unless the keyboard is the draw to the DVP, I'd go with one of them.
[Venue Pro General] shirtlessrabbit4:
Well the dell is cheaper and has the keyboard and a decent sized amoled display, so that's what caught my eye as well as price. BUT..... I will go for either of those if thats what it takes to get wp7 without a plan of any kind. I also saw the HTC arrive but more expensive........ could that work for what I want?
[Venue Pro General] Technosquid:
You can use any WP7 handset without any kind of voice or data plan. As far as price of the Samsung Focus, you might want to check used ones on ebay. I once bought a used Samsung Focus for $60 in perfect condition except for the broken SIM card reader. That kind of thing would be perfect for you. The Super AMOLED screen of the Focus is better than the AMOLED screen on the DVP, too.

Since you're interested in the Arrive and the Dell Venue Pro, I assume you're dead-set on a keyboard. All I can say is that if I didn't use my keyboard for text messaging so much, I'd definitely abandon the DVP in favor of a thinner phone.

Was wondering if there is a theme chooser / manager for CM9. I just flashed to the latest Joker cm9 a few days ago, coming from Kangs CM7.2. From what I've read it does exist, others say that it should be built into the ROMs. I really would like to De-Blue the stock theme of the ROM.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Fallen_angel:
Yes it would with the ability to run linux natively you would think it could be done. It would be a matter of repartioning as well as boot.img . The whole native linux thing on the xoom is a pain use linux when done wipe and re flash a nandroid backup and then do it all over again. I guess i will have to mess around with my touchpads boot img and the xoom to see if i can get it work my touchpad runs linux,android and webos. Iwould haveto do some serious reprogramming on the files to make them work but I think it could be done

I'm no programmer but i wonder if it would be possible running something like Puppy Linux.

Puppy can boot from an SD card and run entirely in ram.It seems to me this would save a lot of work partitioning, etc. The developer is currently trying to adapt Puppy for ARM boards.

It's a great little distro I used for many years ( after BeOS got too old).

I know that some may be frustrated to see the latest official update via PCC is not available to your phone.

It's only the country that matters for this update as some country like USA get the update first-hand.

So if your country does not have it. Like me, you can try this simple trick to get the official update.

For locked BL who wants to update the official FW.

1. Just simply Uninstall your Sony PC Companion if you already have it installed and tried to update and cannot update because of country issue.

2. Just simply install it again! yes again. this time when it asked for your country just choose USA , UK or some other country that gets the updates first. For me US works.

3. That's it. Try again and hopefully it worked for you too.

tell me if it works okay? and hit don't forget to hit thanks if i helped. :)
[Xperia Arc General] richyg81:
sorry mate I tried this and it doesn't work, nice try though.

Hey everyone,

I will be getting my nexus 7 in a couple days now! (finally!) and I was wondering if any of you have experience with a good app for simple photo editing?

Let me explain what i do. I usually edit my photos with my netbook using picasa. I only change a bit of contrast, shadows, highlights, add some fill lights and crop if needed, that's it, almost no filters etc.

I already got a usb otg adapter and a card reader so that I could edit on the road with just my camera and tablet.

Could anyone share there experiences with something like that?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the link but here's the 2nd comment in the link, which is what I want to do so it basically makes it useless for me.

BAD file management! You have to save your files to their new "cloud" system. I can't save as a .jpg, etc. on my own tablet, nor can I access via usb cable. A Great Program, but forcing me to use Another Cloud System makes it a deal breaker for me. And they don't support full resolution pictures.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garryknight:
Photoshop Touch is arguably the best but the Play Store says it isn't Nexus 7 compatible. It's perfectly compatible if you side load it, however. If you use Picasa then PS Touch is probably overkill, in which case I'd suggest Photo Editor (by Macgyver), Snaptastic, or Picshop, all very easy to use, all with slightly different features.

I called BB in my area to see if they had gotten in any 32gb ones. No luck yet. She said they get in shipments every Tuesday and Thursday. No way to know if its on the truck KR not. So ill check back Tues. If they get the 32gb in, ill go up there and swap out my 16gb for it. I'd rather pay only $50 for double the memory vs. Apple charging $100 for double the memory. I can tell I need at meat 32gb. Regardless of memory card slot. Games and apps don't store data on memory cards anymore. So extra space is needed for my type of usage.

just uninstall any version of dropbox u have on ur Galaxy s 2 via settings>>applications >> all >>then select dropbox and uninstall

then, download the apk attached and install it on ur phone after this just sign in

finally, u will recieve an email telling u that ur space increased to 25 GB on dropbox

Note : we all know that android and sense are open source , so this is not a hack , it;s just a port

what causes battery temperature rising ? oc? data? games?

cause i've noticed that battery drops horribly on graph when temperature increases :eek:
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Battery temperature is a direct result of device usage. If you go to sleep at night, and are NOT charging your phone overnight, in the morning when you wake up and roll over to check xda or Facebook or whatever, the phone isn't warm, right? During the day, if you're running a browser or streaming music or just have a lot of screen time on, your phone will get warmer and warmer. It's hard to say without seeing any test results from your phone as to what is causing higher temperatures, but it's safe to say that any or all of the things you listed could be a cause. Obviously, overclocking WILL cause your phone to run warmer. Your permitting a higher CPU load value at the maximum frequency scaling, and subsequently your phone's CPU is working harder. Try some (or most) of the suggestions in this thread and see if you notice a lower temperature and battery drop as a result of the changes...
