[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SilverFox66:
Actually, its your phone from day 1 of your contract. Its not like a house or car you are borrowing money on. You are purchasing the phone. They simply sell it to you at a subsidized price if you sign a 2yr service contract. Its not like you dont own the phone until you get all the payments made after 2yrs... its yours when you walk out of the store.

The carriers try to back this law by saying "well the customer can then take $500 phone that he paid .99 for, and go to another carrier". In theory, true. You could take an AT&T phone to Straight Talk or Tmobile here in the states, because AT&T only disables the SIM, which leaves the handset free to be loaded with a new SIM from another carrier. So... why doesnt AT&T do like U.S. Cellular (although a CDMA company) or like GSM carriers in Europe? because they are too lazy. The technology is there to shut down the actual GSM handset (not just the SIM) so it cant be used anywhere else. U.S. carriers have become lazy. They want to control your handset that you bought, because they are too lazy to instill a blacklist for all carriers, and shut down all phones on that list, and refuse to offer service to a phone on that list.

What is stupid is, the U.S. goverment is supposed to have laws in affect by the end of 2013 that forces carriers to have this blacklist, and a way to shut all phones down. So that makes this law even more ridiculous. If they dont want you to "steal" the phone, then blacklist it and shut it down.... it doesnt get any more simple than that. But no... thats not how the U.S. government does things. They make all the innocent people suffer, on the slight chance you "might" do something wrong.

The fact the government got involved in this at all is ludicrous. This isnt a criminal area... its civil. The government has no business sticking their nose into how a carrier deals with its customers, unless something illegal can be proven

I have T-mo sims here and they will not work in my locked AT&T branded OneXL, however when I put one in my partners unlocked AT&T branded OneXL they come right up and work as they should. Straight Talk is a different animal. Either way, like I said before, it is BS and when I have to go out of the country in May I will either have to have my phone unlocked or I will have to buy one or bust out and old one that is unlocked.

I take that letter the same way I take every other response from anyone in politics. I take it as:

We are going to do whatever big business (in this case cell companies) pay us to do, then try to tell you its whats best for you and the industry"

You think I am kiddin? One line alone from the letter proves this.... where he says " we would encourage mobile providers to consider what steps they as businesses can take to ensure that their customers can fully reap the benefits and features they expect when purchasing their devices.". If the cell phone companies WANTED their customers to reap all the benefits etc.... they wouldnt have lobbied congress to outlaw it. And if congress gave a damn about the customers, they wouldnt have passed the law. Its a damn joke.

Ill continue to do as I wish with "my" equipment. Reason being, even if one gets caught.... the carrier has to prove the customer did something to the equipment that cost them money or caused them and their service to suffer in some way. WHen they cant prove that, then the individual can go after the state for wrongful prosecution. Its like saying just because you own a gun... that youre guilty of armed robbery or murder. Its mine, Im not doing anything illegal with it, so screw them
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
A bill has been introduced to permanently reverse this decision, i.e., to revise the DMCA so it doesn't apply to sim unlocking.

http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/

From what I've heard, this has a good chance at passing and is supported by the Obama administration.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] andronald:
All of this Digital Millennium stuff is just another way to not allowing people be free unless they pay. That's all it is now, you have to pay to be free, but we are forced to pay taxes.

Not saying taxes aren't good, but rather, it would better if the government actually used our tax to do the things they say they use them for.

Please thank if you agree.

My family has 5 lines on AT&T. I am the 6th person in line for a phone so i tend to jump around on different prepay situations. Last week i purchased an att htc one x for a very good price. I called up att, gave them my account info and asked them if they would unlock the phone i had just purchased. It took the lady about a minute to give me the unlock code. I popped in my tmobile sim and all was good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SilverFox66:
the law wasnt aimed at people in your situation. It was aimed at the people who buy a $600 phone on contract for $150, then take off and never do their 2yr or pay the ETF.... screwing the company out of the money they subsidized. BUT, the law was still ridiculous, and did nothing but give the carriers more power over their customers.

First off, this was never a criminal act, so a law wasnt needed, Secondly, the carriers didnt need the law had they got off their lazy asses and did what has been going on in Europe for some time now.... shutting down the handset itself (not just the SIM) and blacklisting the phone so no other carrier will activate it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Actually, that's not accurate at all. This was an outgrowth of the DMCA, that wasn't really discussed when it was passed. The big carriers don't care so much about this because they can send deadbeats like that to collection. What got this dispute started was companies who sold burner phones for next to nothing, with the expectation that people would have to buy service from them exclusively going forward. Instead, people started buying these phones en masse, unlocking them, then reselling them at a profit. That seriously undermined the business model, so the prepaid phone companies went after the unlockers, and managed to get some of them prosecuted or at least arrested. So when the next DMCA exemption rulemaking period came around, the EFF applied for the exemption and got it under the rationale that unlocking was fair use.

The prepaid phone companies have been trying to get the exemption lifted ever since, and succeeded this time. They remain the only companies that really care that much about unlocking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SilverFox66:
so, prepaid carriers selling burner (junk/cheap/old but new) phones for next to nothing.... to someone, then losing them as a customer when they go elsewhere is the reason....

but major carriers losing hundreds on major phones when the customer goes elsewhere isnt a reason?

Im not going to argue with you, as what you said is "part" of the reason, but not all of it, or the part that accounts for the biggest loss to the carriers.

Collections is a joke and does nothing to stop the person from buying an AT&T phone, then taking their service to T-Mobile, while AT&T loses $400 on the deal.

Either way, I dont feel sorry for any of the carriers. Like I said, all they had to do was shut down and blacklist the handset just like USCC does with their CDMA handsets, and no carrier (prepaid or postpaid) would have anything to ***** about
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
It's the reason for the repeated changes in the law. If you go through the records for the rulemaking, it's been Tracfone that has been the main company leading the lobbying against the exemption with the Copyright Office, because legal unlocking is a threat to their entire business model.

Here are some good summaries of what's been going on behind the scenes.

The big carriers have not been the ones litigating this issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesc760:
It's most likely your computer that's being mean to you. I'd try:

1. different usb cables

2. different usb ports on your computer

3. re-start your computer

4. completely uninstall kies

5. re-start your computer and install kies again!

You may need to get into Windows (I'm assuming you're on a Windows machine) registry and clear out usb device entries -- google it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] android4545:

Download PDANet and the Samsung Drivers. Use a oem cable and see what happens. I had a issue when I first got my Note but it was probably because of Windows 8 not playing well with it.

So folx, tell me which one do you prefer and why?

Im currently using Gmail app, but i wanted to ask for your oppinion.. Im in dillema between gmail app and stock email app for @gmail.com mails..

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Richard_10:
In stock email you can attach all types of files. Which is impossible in gmail app that offer to attach only a video or a picture.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Laynee1:
Other than that ? Can you decrease font in stock app ?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] WKBae:
i use stock app because of other site's mail account.

but using gmail app seems to be nice, too:confused:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] rashid.fairus:
stock has support for air view (awesome), multiple accounts (gmail, yahoo, aol, etc), nice widget
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Laynee1:
Well, one thing that is keeping me off the stock is following :

I have student email on my university... And i merged that with gmail acc, and it is set up on gmail account so when i go compose new on gmail i can choose from which account to send... I cant do that on stock email app :(

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jujuburi:
I don't get much time to play with my phone, but if I had time I'd uninstall that crappy Gmail app.

I can't say a single advantage of it over the stock email app. I like the email sent notification of stock email app if that's an advantage, I like smooth multi touch it provides, I like how the body of an mail is formatted and so on so on...

That update of Gmail app have saved it from at least 10000 uninstallation, if that's the word, Lol.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] navyenzo:
You've gotta be kidding me right?

Gmail 4.2.1 is the very definition of smoothness.

Stock email app is choppy as hell, even in this monster of fast and smooth phone.

Don't get me wrong, with the new MA5 update, stock email is much smoother than before, but still pales in comparison to Gmail
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] amanbakhshi:
Two differences that I know of:

1. The gmail app syncs chats but the stock email app doesn't.

2. The email notification generated by gmail when a user receives a ping when he or she is offline is synced by the gmail app but not by the stock app.

Hi

How to remove or disable gmail app? i dont want to use it
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Elvecio:
I came from iPhone and i've noticed problems in both apps.

- Gmail: No unified inbox, conversation view can be better (like iOS stock Mail app)

- Mail: No conversation view at all (and it's definitely not a good thing) and no push mail from gmail

In my daily usage i use gmail for the push service and the conversation view. But i think that iOS mail app and Gmail for iOS are better.

I've used all the other mail clients for Android and every app has some problem.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] RambJoe:
You can use the m.google.com exchange server, although I don't know how much longer that will exist.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Petteri:
I hate the black background on Stock Email, if you driving in car you will have problems to read, that is better on white background wit black fonts like on gmail app! So i would like only getting white background on stock mail app! Everything elese works (but surely, on my HTC ONE X) it`s much smoother! I´m on Omega 11 in moment! :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] jujuburi:
I hate conversation view and that's why I disabled it in Gmail settings, maybe that's why I don't see conversation view in Gmail app as well. How do you enable conversation view in Gmail app?

And the stock email app has an option of conversation view. You can see it by pressing menu. However I don't know what it does as I haven't used it yet.

And the email client in iOS is way better than any Android client I've ever used.

You could use 'negative colours' under Accessibility. It'll make the background white. Just make a shortcut of Accessibility option which is accessible via Post key.

Also you could use the lighter email text mod of Xposed, not bad.

You can attach any file type in gmail.

If you have a file explorer installed, click attach picture, choose your file explorer as the method and then pick the file you want.

A bit dumb that you have to do it that way but it works. Lol.

I use each alternatively depending on who I'm emailing.

Also my gmail pushes mail just fine :)

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] liquidguru:
I use stock, with multiple accounts, some gmail some personal. When I compose an email I just hit the account in the 'From:' field on thje compose screen and it gives me a choice of whatever email account I want to send from.

One thing that for me really sets the stock email app apart from all others (gmail, Aqua, K9 etc) is that you can create and use html sigs!!! None of the others can do this.

One missing feature of our beloved note it the ability to turn the screen off when closing the cover over the screen.

Also proximity sensor is missing too..

However there are apps that make use of the light sensor to turn off the screen...

I have tested various apps including tasker, locale plugin, smart screen off and so on, which can make use of the light sensor to turn the screen off..

But I find that the light sensor itself is not very sensitive in low light conditions..

Even in a dimly lit room the sensor detects only 0 lux and forces the screen off... Bummer..

Anyone here sucessfully using case close screen off ???????

Viloet edges first of all i want to convey my thanks for submitting review on DD_GB rom.....

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

I think the major issue here is phone not booting when tried to reflashing or restoring CWM backup...

This issue is solvable when we perform additional step after reflashing or restoring rom..the step is wipe data/factory reset alone...

After that when we reboot our phone will boot normally...

Next is linux swap error:

``````` `` ``````` ``````` ```````

IN my phone i have created linux swap partition using mini tool.as third partition...However i never configured that partition using any special software like swapper2 & etc..But heavy games r working well like gta3,temple run 2 and so on..

For configuring swap I think we dont want any softwares It will got automatiically working (Solution for testing)

If it not works fell free to post reply...
