Holly Crap Batman thats a lota data but you have the right to use it. Thats why the plan is called "Unlimited" right?
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
That's what I'm saying.

When I called Verizon the week of the DNA launch, I asked the local store if they would have any devices in on that day. The rep asked me if I was upgrading my line and if I was he tried to sell me the SG3. I told him I was not upgrading, I didn't want that pos, and am planning to buy the DNA at retail price. His statement I clearly remember "Why on earth would you pay $600 for THAT phone when clearly you are eligible and able to get a better phone for $99" ... I said nicely that I would like to keep my unlimited data plan. Then he asked me, how much data do I use on a monthly basis ... I replied, usually 30-40GB+ depending. He said "depending?!! that much data should not be allowed, how can one person abuse Verizon..." I just interrupted him loudly saying ...I have UNLIMITED, UNLIMITED means there is no LIMIT! and hung up.

Since then, I blow my data out the water. Hit over 100GB last month myself and plan to do it continually
[HTC Droid DNA] cc16177:
I just think it's funny that people try to say the unlimited plans were taken away "because of people like you". The reality is that Verizon got rid of unlimited plans because they want to make more money. It has very little to do with the few people here and there who "abuse" their unlimited data.

I personally have unlimited and use as little as 2GB or as much as 10GB on any given month...
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
Netflix, Downloading ROMs, DropBox (Auto-Upload:I take a lot of pictures and videos) YouTube, Google Music (have no problem streaming 2GB a day worth of music)

So I'm not really "abusing" I'm just taking advantage of my unlimited data, especially since the DNA only has a set amount of storage.

Now me downloading the Windows 7/SP1 ISO files from Microsoft every day would be "abusing" yet still legit ;)

and it is all about Verizon wanting more money... They charging you for data usage and selling you phones without sdcards, forcing you to use their data to use your cloud storage

I think Verizon is "abusing" us!
[HTC Droid DNA] -4ndr01d-:
I agree, Work got me on trips all the time. When at hotels, WiFi costs extra. My phone is the alternative... That uses majority me data there.

I went the route of adding an extra line to get my DNA, came out cheaper that retail!

$199 - for phone with contract

$240 - $10/month for the extra line (2yrs)

$30 - they activate data on the line, switch your two phones then cut the data off the secondary line

I got my DNA for a little over $480 with a pack of 5 free screen protectors lol
[HTC Droid DNA] ortiz84tx:
My experience with Verizon's customer service has been horrible. If Sprint had the coverage of Verizon, I would still be with them. They finally made things right with me when I was able to do an early upgrade to get my Droid DNA. I was ready to jump back to Sprint lol
[HTC Droid DNA] mkzbdroid:
Well this month it was roughly 132gb as I recall, I've gotten as high as 200gb before. Bottom line is I pay for unlimited and have had this plan going on six years so lets see 12x6=72x30=2160. That's 2,160 reasons why I don't need to explain myself about how or why I use my phone
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
I hope you all know eventually they are going to remove the unlimited data plan from everyone. Even when I had unlimited my 3g speeds were so slow on my old phone I never used it, I never even hit 1gb and I still haven't. The most I have ever used was 500mb. But I guess you guys can do as you please since you have unlimited. They can't stop you until they take it away...
[HTC Droid DNA] mkzbdroid:
Sad thing is I watched a sales rep convice a friend to switch and she got an iPad thinking there's no way I can use all that data they are offering.....sadly she called me the next day saying Verizon ****ed me now......now she's right around same price monthly and is limited
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
^ interesting. I'm new to Verizon and the phone so I have a limited plan but a co worker of mine long time Verizon person has the unlimited plan he says they tried with him also to change the plan he refused. That's some pretty high usuage you use hehe. I can def see how it can be pretty high I don't use my carrier internet to much but just from streaming music and uploading pictures alone gets me a lot of usage.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Out of curiosity, what are you doing to use that much data? The highest I've gone was like 10 gigs. I don't think I could go any higher if I tried.
[HTC Droid DNA] oOMavrikOo:
I was wondering the same thing. I'm about to get my Droid RAZR replaced to a DNA through warranty and the rep told me I had to pay for the battery and battery cover... I was under the impression that the battery was non-removable. I even have another thread asking this very question and the answer I got was that it was not removable.
[HTC Droid DNA] WizeGuyDezignz:
The battery on the DNA and back cover are NOT removable.
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Would you be kind enough to explain to someone (a noob) who isn't knowledgeable enough as to understand how a user could use 200 gb a month?

Could someone use 2000gb......8000gb....or a lot more then that a month?

Please tell me how that would be possible even given exaggerated use. I am new to this, and really don't know.

Thanks,

Dan
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
It's could be possible...

1. Get root

2. Install WiFi tether

3. Enjoy the 4g speeds from laptop

4. ....torrent 24/7 to get your exaggerated use:)

I was always scared I'd get in trouble torrenting through Verizon...you're a brave man
[HTC Droid DNA] bsSkunkApe:
The way the internet functions anyway; it's not how much data but how many users that are using data that clogs their network and slows things down. The data caps are just a BS way to keep you off their bandwidth as much as possible.
[HTC Droid DNA] 123421342:
Pretty sure they have protocols to stop you from tethering unless you pay for it. I remember reading about it a while ago, something with APNs, IPs, and packet sniffing.
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
I never said I did it. I was just telling him how he could run his data usage up high ;)

[HTC Droid DNA] dtraini7:
When you got the warranty replacement device, did it already have the newest OTA installed?
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
I had to have my phone replaced because the screen shattered. The replacement phone came with ota installed.
[HTC Droid DNA] dtraini7:
Oh ok I see. That sucks cause I want to root this phone! Lol Especially with the new Sense 5 ROM!
[HTC Droid DNA] skykrieg:
Ohhhhhhhhhh hahaha nice
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
I'm dying to root this phone also man. Whether they send you a phone with the ota installed it not is pretty much rolling the dice I believe.
[HTC Droid DNA] bill212:
That is insane. lol local Best Buy Mobile thought i was pretty high averaging 30-35gb. damn. they were wrong lol.

On that note i will never set foot in a VZW Corporate store again, BB mobile is SO much better, and the 10$/month insurance is awesome. break it for any reason get a new one. period. I had 4 RZ's in one week, brokens screen, bricked second one while rooting (even told them i did lol ) and third one came with a broken speaker. love it there
[HTC Droid DNA] ScreenSpace:
Bill

You make a good point....up to a point.

In my case I would have come out behind on BB.

Here's why.

Been with Verizon for the past twelve years. Only had to swap one phone in all that time.

It was my DNA that came with a corrupted radio. Verizon gave me a new phone at the store the same day. Even though I had bought it online with VZW.

If I started out with BB twelve years ago it would have cost me $1440 in insurance.

Depending on a user's "use" of devices it can go either way.

Personally, I always handle a phone as though I'm going to drop it every second.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Dude I could not believe how hard it was for me to buy a phone retail off contract. If anyone else in town would have had it I would have bought it elsewhere.

I kind of expected to be treated pretty well since I was dropping about $750 cash on a device specific to their network. It was completely opposite like the reps would be suspended if they sold a phone to a Verizon customer outright instead of awarding an early upgrade and extending the contract. And I'm not an unlimited customer.

To the OP, did you buy the phone new from Verizon, in other words was your phone "1owner" as we say in the world of show cars and street trucks.

[HTC Droid DNA] afazel:
That $750 is small beans compared to locking you into a contract for 2 more years.
[HTC Droid DNA] ickedmel:
I've always wodnered about that. So if I signed up for Verizon through best buy. It's different service I would get ? Insurance wise. Would the rates be the same ? And would customer service be still with Verizon ?
[HTC Droid DNA] oOMavrikOo:
You get to choose which insurance you want to use.
[HTC Droid DNA] Spider210:
Sales reps make $0 off of a full retail sale and it just counts against their metrics. If you gonna buy full retail just save your self the hassle of dealing with a pist rep and buy elsewhere or online via vzw website

[HTC Droid DNA] mkzbdroid:
WiFi tether, Netflix, torrenting, business use as well......

Don't get me wrong I know I'm an extreme case but they make PROFIT off of me, and now that they refuse to offer me an upgrade then they make even more. I pay 120 a month for completely unlimited
[HTC Droid DNA] dj2muchxx:
You don't have cable internet, do you? Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] mkzbdroid:
No, I did over 10 speed tests and my phone internet is consistantly faster than cable or dsl in my area, sooooooo why pay another 60 for something that is slower?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Because, ping.
[HTC Droid DNA] SHANENATAS:
With Verizon it's 50/50, this last time I hard bricked my DNA (they don't know that) they were actually pretty col about my phone not turning on after the OTA. No questions asked. We tried a hard reset once then they overnighted my DNA to me. It all went perfect as can be. Then I opened the box, charged her up and OTA'd! GRRRR I didn't know lol, now I'm stuck. Overall I am happy, just a few things I would really love to change. Nothing to get bent about though.

But way back when they had the Startac I was having major problems with that phone. They had to replace it like 3 or 4 times and I had to goto hell and back with them for them to replace it. But in the end I won.
[HTC Droid DNA] kumkwat:
I agree, it really seems to be just dependent on who you end up dealing with as far as the person helping you with Verizon in my experience. It's definitely a little inconsistent as far as service goes. I'm about to see if they'll help me out with the warranty on a cracked screen so not sure how that's going to go.
[HTC Droid DNA] JohnDaddyo:
Well, I'm gonna try and swap later today. I dropped it from about 2', in a case and now the camera is messed up. It has a yellow tinge

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] grgana:
Well since the phone is recignosed as SL by SUS and pc companion, woldnt it be logical that SUS flash firmware and kernel of SL on S device, and since kernel is stock in theory everything should be fine?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] angel_salam:
this is very interesting to, and can you please do some benchmark like quadrant or any processor benchmark to see if your processor is at 1.7ghz like in the sl please?

because i'll love to turn my S into an SL without unlocking my bootloader and flash custom kernel
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ultimatdraco:
I try, no change at all, i flash the kernel of Xperia SL lt26ii, some one have good result?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Speka-3-:
i brought a XSL(LT26ii) from my friend

just see the baseband version is 8660-...... , the same as XS

so i think XS's rom can flash into XSL,but max cpu clock will from 1741 mhz to 1512 mhz

(my english is so poor that there are something i can't explain clearly ... sorry :<
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anon_freak:
AW: [Q] transform Xperia S to Xperia SL

Xperia SL is the same as Xperia S also with same hardware, except CPU is OC to 1710 GHz.

Only thing that would change is the cpu freq and that you can do with an overclockable kernel too.

Hello,

I'm using EVC++ to create an application and I would like to be informed when a new mail is arrived in the Message Store.

There are some MAPI function to do that (Advise, OnNotify, AdviseSink etc...) but I need some explanations. For example NEWMAIL_NOTIFICATION is not sent by CEMAPI, so how can I know when a new mail is arrived?!!! And first of all, Advise doesn't work. I think I have not allocated the advise sink object. How can I do that?

Thank you for your help or even a sample code for my inspiration!!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] JohnSmith:
You will never get the notification sink to work since only the process which causes the event will be notified.

I use a special trick: Just open the mail database with CeOpenDatabaseEx(...) and register for DB_* events. Then you will receive an event everytime something in the mail db changes...

Pull the SD card out to boot. If you have a pc handy, remove the PG32IMG.zip file from your sd. If not, boot without your sd card and use a file manager on your phone to move it out of the base folder of the sd. Your phone wants to install it everytime you reboot whenever it sees that file.

How to modify the DPI on the LG Optimus L5

If you find, just like me that the default DPI on an LG L5 is a little large (for example the huge notification bar at the top of the screen), then this might help you get a better experience.

Requirements

Rooted device

File manager that allows you to remount a filesystem

Things to know before you start

If you decrease the DPI on your device, everything on the screen will get smaller. Since that is what we want it shouldn't be a problem, were it not that LG has fixed the size of a number of items, most noticeably:

The lock screen

The stock keyboard

If you are currently running a custom rom with a non-LG lockscreen and keyboard, you don't need to install anything. If you are on a rooted stock rom, I advise you to install a different lock screen and keyboard before you start.

OK, you're still reading so you are probably ready to start. This is how to do it:

Open your favourite file manager and re-mount the /system filesystem rw

Use your favourite file editor to edit /system/build.prop

Lookup the line containing lcd_density=160 and change the value to 140 (or if you have really good eyes, you might go as low as 120).

Save the file

Reboot

Since the resolution of the L5's screen is not so high, a DPI of lower than 120 will probably make text unreadable.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] dev-DaT:
You can also install 'pimp my rom' from google play and then 'change density'.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] nhtbrink:
Actually, using Pimp my Rom is better, since it doesn't require direct file editing! Good one!
