Is almost "easy" to follow and you will have your phone rooted.

It is not possible to install a recovery from gg play. You can use another app instead, but your phone must to be rooted before.

The most easy way to install a recovery image is using flashboot, anyway the tool I give you before flash the recovery for you ;)

You have to download the app and configurate it on your mobile.

Then from internet you have to go https://www.cerberusapp.com/ and put username and pass. You have loads of options there to control your mobile if stoled etc.

I have a Siemens SX56 using AT&T Wireless as a carrier.

The phone is running the following:

ROM Verison: 3.14.03 ENG

ROM Date: 09/27/02

Radio Version: 6.12

Protocol Version: 324e4

My question is:

I would like to connect to a traditional ISP. I have talked to AT&T and they said when I go to the internet, I have to connect using their GPRS network. They said that if I used another ISP I would not have to pay them to use the internet. DUH! this is what I want to do. Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!!!

Bob
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
You can connect to the Internet using GPRS. This, in essence, would make AT&T your Internet Provider. You can choose to get your mail at your existing provider (but you must use AT&T's server for outbound mail). Other than that, your 'normal' ISP has nothing to do with you once you connect through AT&T using GPRS.

You could, theoretically, also connect using the GSM as an ordinary modem, by dialing your old ISP, making what's called a 'GSM data call'. This would however limit throughput to roughly 9600 bps, and it would not have the nice 'always on' property of GPRS. It would be cheaper per bit (in most cases) for large downloads though. Go figure.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Sidetrack_CA:
i want to make a gsm data call

I do want to make a GSM data call. at&t charges an arm and a leg for data access, that usimg my regular ISP even at 9600 baud would be great.

when I try to set up anything other than GPRS, it says "there is no answer". I called siemens and the said at&t disabled anything other than GPRS.

what I want to know is can I enable that ability which I know the phone can do?

Thanks

Bob
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
GSM data calls can be made from most phones, but AT&T may have disabled this call type for anyone but those paying for a 'data subscription'. With most providers a data subscription just means you get a seperate phone number in order to be able to receive incoming calls from analogue modems.

GSM providers are weird. For instance O2 in The Netherlands blocks fax calls for some unknown reason, but passes GSM data calls.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Sidetrack_CA:
I must not be clear...

OK... I must not be clear, so I will try to be more clear in my question.

First a little background:

I have AT&T wireless with a data subscription. My current subscription is for 8 Megabytes per month. I would like to use the web, but with only an 8 Megabyte limit (which is AT&T's highest data level subscription that you can buy) I can not do much on the Internet.

I know that a GSM data call is slower. I know that it is not always on like GPRS. Because of the data limit of my current AT&T data subscription I want to make a data call from my phone to my ISP.

I have setup a ISP connection profile in the connections area on the phone. When I dial the ISP the phone responds with a message that says "the number you dialed is not answering" this is a text based message, not a voice message. I know the phone is answering because I can call it from my home pc or just dial it from the cell phone and it answers. I was told by siemens that AT&T turned the GSM Data portion of the phone off. I am hoping they turned it off with software and its a setting or something I can change in the registry to enable it again.

So in summary:

I do pay for a GPRS data subscription ($25.00 for 8 Megabytes / month)

I would really like to also use GSM data as an option for getting to the Internet when I do not want to use up my 8 Megabyte limit on GPRS.

I really have appreciated your comments and your help. I hope I am being more clear in my question now.

Thanks,

Bob
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
I'll try to be more clear as well then...

Try calling your provider and see whether they support GSM data calls from 'normal' subscriptions. And with normal subscription, I'm not talking about whether or not the subscription has GPRS, but I mean any subscription that doesn't get you a special phone number for incoming data calls.

There's plenty of providers that do not provide normal data calls, even to subscribers that pay extra to get GPRS. Most of this practice did end when WAP was believed to become big, but some may have limited data calls to their own WAP access numbers.

Should your provider still offer separate numbers for analogue and ISDN, try calling both types to see what happens, and do play around with both call types (analogue & ISDN) from your XDA. (Under 'Settings' / 'Connections' / 'CSD Line Type' in modern ROMs)

Good Luck...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Dave:
Similar issues

I am trying to do the same thing with my 02 XDA, and i get the same message saying it is not answering. However, i can dial my ISP using a GSM connection, as i have done this using my nokia 7650 connected via IRDA to my PC, and useing it as a modem. However i cannot get the same connection to work using my XDA. Very strange, so if anyone can help.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The 16GB N8000 is $632 all-in including overnight delivery from Handtech in the UK. The VZW Note is $599 plus tax making it about the same price. The N8000 is literally a phone so you can use it as a spare or when you're making video calls or on long conference calls. VZW will kill the phone and MMS feature in their version. You'll receive updates from Samsung or can use Odin to install the latest on the N8000. You're at VZW's mercy for their version. You can use the N8000 on one of the AT&T MVNO's on a cheap voice/data plan, use AT&T's DataConnect plan and pay-as-you-go ($30 = 3GB), or add it to an AT&T FamilyShare account for $10 a month. VZW is $40 a month for 4GB or $10 if you add it to an existing shared account. With VZW you'll get LTE with the N8000 you'll get HSPA+ on AT&T. You'll also have to live with the giant VZW tramp stamp on their version which is the largest gaudiest logo placement ever seen on a mobile device.

Happy deciding. ;)

I too had same problem with my T-Mobile HD2, but googling on the problem I found out that if somehow you have dropped your mobile...it might be possible that the antenna contacts with the case of HD2 have been broken..

I opened up my HD2 (you can easily do it yourself, the GSM antenna is the one on the bottom near SIM card (its like two copper contacts ) , carefully twisted them a bit in upward direction so that it can again make contact with the HD2 case.

Assembled HD2 again. And there is no network problem since then.

You can also try this...(but make sure that its a hardware problem), if your HD2 is in warranty then go to the HTC service center.

so your micro usb port on your phone is damaged and cannot transfer data?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
that method won't work

"#NOTES: MUST BE BOOTED INTO ROM, ONLY TESTED ON FROYO AND S-OFF"

you can't do step 7, because step 6 will fail. it can't flash a recovery because you are not s-off yet.

have you installed all the relevant drivers for the phone to be detected? install htc sync, then uninstall it but leave the htc drivers.

at a minimum you will need your phone to be recognised by PC. then use revolutionary to s-off. follow the guides.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldp04180:
Hi

Thanks for the reply's. It may be that the USB port is damaged.

I have installed HTC Sync and uninstalled it,not removing the drivers.

Is there a way to root without USB, say using the micro SD card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
not sure to be honest. so when you connect, computer can't see it or connect at all, you can't browse your sd card? it still charges though, so usb port is not completely broken.

have you tried another micro usb cable / laptop with drivers installed / sd card just to be sure?

you will almost certainly need it to be detected by pc to s-off/root etc. the software needs to communicate with the phone. have another look at the guides to see if they have another workaround.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldp04180:
Hi

Used another cable to check computer connection, still no joy, phone not recognized and does not charge phone anymore :(

I have read the guides, they all want PC access, do just asking if anyone knew of a different solution?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
well if your phone doesn't charge anymore you need to look at the bigger picture. you need a working usb port regardless, at a minimum to charge the device! even if you s-off / root etc if it's not going to last one charge!

send for repair if it's under warranty, or find out how much it would cost for someone to repair it. there are probably guides out there to change it yourself if you're adventurous.

once it's repaired and working, you can s-off root etc properly :)

Hey guys,

I am using CM9 with Sliding kernel (latest versions both) on my SXP for a while without any issues.

Yesterday suddenly wifi doesn`t work anymore!?

I can see the network`s and the device also connects, but it only shows "bad connection" and does not work or it trys to get the IP and starts to connect again.

3G is working fine and the problem is definitely not related to the router.

I didn`t had any updates, mods or new apps installed the last time, so I don`t know what happend!?

Reflashing kernel, other kernel or reflashing CM 9 didn`t help.

Does anyone has a clue to solve this problem?

From what I have read Asus will not update the TF700T to 4.2 until the 2nd quarter of 2013 and I wonder why. I am no developer but isn't it just a kernel flash. I mean why wait so long if its not a complete redo of the android version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] king231:
Right asus is kinda testing android 4.2 with tf300t users for any major bugs because tf300 and tf700 are almost the same hardware(chipset, ram, etc.). Transformer infinity is their flagship and they can't let infinity users suffer with any major bugs.

I was talking about any major bugs if they ever existed. When tf300 got jellybean 4.1 the performance went terribly bad and had a hell lot of bugs. But when the update came to infinity some bugs were fixed and the performance was not as bad as it was on tf300. I know that a few ppl are not happy with infinity but the fact is none of the android tablets are totally bug free. If you want something so smooth or something just go with apple.

We are all here to get the most from an android tablet, dealing with that stupid fruit company's products is it's own kind of suffering.

My father has a 300 and it has gone through growing plains also but I still see them dropping the ball on features on their entire tablet line, I had a 200(but let's not go there). They need to get their act together with this one. I want my HDMI scale and crop options back, and please don't take away my locking task bar again! They should be better at these by now but I disagree that they learned anything from the 300 and took it to the 700. If nothing else, look through the feature changes and issues that people run into on the 200, 300, and 700 updates and you will see that these are completely different development teams. Tien from Asus said it himself, the teams are not working together and some of the changes and features on one model may never get applied to others. That includes fixes.
