Yeah they cannot force you off.... if you selected keep same plan and they changed it they need to fix it. At&t is trying really hard to get people off the unlimited data plan....I tell all the peeps I help to NEVER take it off (unless they really want to).... and that every time they speak with an att rep. to expect them to try and get them off of it..

I got my S4 yesterday at the local AT&T store and today when I went to check my account online I saw that as of next June 15 I will be moved from the unlimited data plan to the unlimited LTE plan. This happened with no intervention from me at all.

How bad is the data speed throttling on LTE? I know ATT is bad for throttling unlimited data but just wondering what the speeds drop down to on LTE these days.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pao23:
So should I be removing the MEID sticker that's on the back of my phone?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hooover:
I did..makes Sprints job to easy!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Cuppeerr:
It's just there to make sure that it matches the box/is the right one. It's not on other phones like that because there's always been a place to hide it eg. behind the battery:)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darkendvoid88:
Honestly as I tech I'd prefer you not remove it... without it, it makes it alot harder for us to verify that its the correct device. Actually it would be impossible to verify the device aside from them ICCID on the sim. May cause trouble if you have TEP so I'd personally refrain from removing it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pao23:
Thank you guys! Much appriciate the responses.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mmmajor:
Well..it's going to fall off sooner or later..might as well..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bsjmcconnell:
all those numbers are under settings>about>Phone Identity

gives the model Number

MEID

and more....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] racrickey:
I removed mine and stuck it on the box but it doesn't matter because it's the same number that's on the side anyways.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mutelight:
Going into the settings to retrieve it is not hard and far from impossible.

The sticker will eventually fall off and the ink begins to wear anyway.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darkendvoid88:
Was speaking more along the lines of the device won't turn on and there is no way to read from software when I said it could cause problems.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mutelight:
Ah yes, in that case it would prove helpful. With that said, I would still recommend taking the sticker off and keeping it in a safe place as the ink does wear, etc.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] David-sm:
That information is also included with the box... unless you purchase your phone used or already open that information thats on the box should match the one from the phone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sonofshade:
I removed mine and stuck it inside the box. I kept my receipt inside as well. Should be safe in there just in case you will ever need it.

Sent from my HTC One
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Roman G:
He's a sprint tech so he wouldn't know that.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] the_ocho:
I was going to keep mine on until I was sure I was going to keep my phone. Within two days of use all the text was worn off and so I just took it off.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] edub186:
If it was important. Best believe it wouldn't be a sticker with ink that easily smear
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Westfire:
Just rip it off like a mattress tag!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pao23:
Haha, when I was taking it off my wife asked if this was "a mattress tag situation." :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darkendvoid88:
My main concern was just if the phone is totally fckd and won't power on, screen burnt out, cant charge, etc, there is no way to confirm that device is the device on your account if you remove the sticker. If we send back the wrong ESN to Sprint, they'll charge anywhere from $180-350 against our tech centers profit so obviously being able to confirm that it is the actual device on the account is an important thing to me. Now based of what everyone is saying about it rubbing off, I think when I get mine I'll personally just remove the sticker and put it on my box so I don't loose it, that way if I ever have to exchange it I can just stick it back on and have 0 worries.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] edub186:
That same number is on your box. When have you ever needed that number after activation? Just stop it.

Is it possible on the XDA 2 to set an alarm that will play an MP3 audio stored on SD Card?

May be there is some kind of software that can be installed to do this? Preferably freeware :!: :?: :roll: :?

Thanks in advance.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
i would think it pretty easy if you changed it to wma and set it up in sounds and notifications or what ever that entry in systems is called
[General Topics] Ustad:
Thanks for suggestion. However, the problem with converting MP3 to wav (using dbPowerAMP) causes the MP3 to grow to a huge size. 1.9MB converts to 30MB!

I imagine the same would happen if I were to convert to wma using an appropriate converter.

Any other suggestions?
[General Topics] Rudegar:
cdex is a pretty good and free encoder for the pc platform

it can make wav mp3 and make wav wma and make mp3 vma and ....

when it's a not music you'll be listening to on your headset

you can limit the kb/sec to 64

wma at 64kb/sec dont take up more space then a mp3 at 64kb/sec

and sounds better
[General Topics] Shadamehr:
No mate.

Other way round.

Becuase mp3 and wma are compressed audio formats (small size) whereas wav is generally not (though you can use really silly low settings, but it would sound terrible).

So going from mp3 to wav will of course make a huge file.

BUT, going from mp3 to wma will produce a SMALLER file size even than your mp3, as it's a better format (i.e. smaller file size, at same or better quality)

I use 40 second wma tones for my XDA2. But for my girlfriend's Nokia, I have to use mp3.

My files at 96K quality, are around 500K file size. Her mp3 at same quality is around 585K for the same file.

Hope that helps.
[General Topics] Ustad:
Thanks for your advice - re MP3 to wma. I understand what you're saying. I downloaded dbPoweramp which has option to convert to from MP3 to wma but whenever I try to do it, it comes up with an message saying that I require appropriate Codec. Well that doesn't help me much. What the heck is a Codec, where do I get one from and how do I set it up?

I'm sure one of you guys will know! Thanks in advance.

:roll: :!: :?:
[General Topics] Shadamehr:
The same site you downloaded dbamp from...

Codecs are 'plugins' that handle conversation of all the different file types.

That way, you only need install the codec, for the type of conversion you want to do.

Here's the link for the codecs download page:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central.htm

The direct link for the .wma codec however, is:

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/codec-central-wma.htm
[General Topics] Ustad:
Thanks for that information. You've been a great help. You are right too. Well, mostly right. I downloaded the codec from the link you gave. I then converted MP3 to wma using the "Windows Media Audio V2" option from the Compressed option list. By default, this option gives the "Attirbutes" of 8kbps, 8kHz mono. I tried a few different attributes. Anything higher than 12kbps, 8kHz Stereo seems to convert the MP3 file to very large sizes like 26MB from a 1.9 MB MP3. Also I noticed that when done, it gives the file the extension of .wav rather than .wma. The sensibly sized file converted to around 296Kb. However, sound quality was not as good. Not too concerned about that since just want to use for alarm.

Getting there slowly.

Problem 1 - I copied the 296Kb wav file into the Windows folder of Pocket PC. Went to set alarm. The alarm list displays the converted file in the list of tunes to choose from, but when I try to choose the converted file, it automatically switches to an option named "Default". can't understand why.

Problem 2 - One converted file (mp3 to wav rather than to wma) was selectable as a tune for alarm. However, when the alram goes off, it only lasts for about 10 seconds. How did you manage to set yours to 40 seconds?

Any further advice? Am I doing something wrong?
[General Topics] jarekt:
Forget it. Use freeware Wolf Clock instead.
[General Topics] Shadamehr:
Ustad...

If it says .wav, it IS a .wav

That's why the file is so large.

Not sure what has happened, but you HAVEN'T created a .wma file from it.

To be fair though, I use a different tool to convert, that requires registration, so maybe you should try the other converter suggested above.

use super alert to set mp3s as alarms. works like a charm. www.pocketgear.com.
[General Topics] Ustad:
Thanks for you help guys. I've just downloaded test trial version of super alert and is look quite good so far.

Will update after I get a chance to play aroud with.

:wink:
[General Topics] Ustad:
:D :D :D

jonlien & the rest of you - THANK YOU very much indeed. “Super Alert” seems to be working fine. Not a very user friendly interface, but the darn thing works. It plays mp3 audios at the clock alarm time. This is great news. I’ve been dying to find a functionality such as this for ages. Can’t understand why Pocket PC doesn’t allow mp3s to be playable direcly via clock alarm settings anyway.

If anyone else decides to use “Super Alert” – please bear in mind that the program doesn’t allow u to select an mp3 directly. Instead it allows u to choose a Playlist which u can define via Windows Media Player. So the thing to do is to define a song you want to use as a Playlist item and select that playlist item in “Super Alert”.

Little tip – to avoid any interference (“Clock Alarm” sound, message display, repetition etc) from the actual XDA’s “Clock Alarm”, remove all the ticks from the options in the “Clock Alarm” for the time you have set the alarm to go off. This was, only the mp3 will play at the designated time and not the XDA’s “Clock Alarm”. This may be obvious to some of you techy guys but I had to mess about to get it to work smoothly.

I’ve only had time to figure out what I’ve said above and only found this use for “Super Alert”. If anyone has found useful/clever ideas or tips, would love to hear.

Once again, thanks to you all. :wink:

WOLFCLOCK - Problems!!!

It appears that most of the time the alarm mutes itself and ends up not going off, although the alarm function appears activated on the display - U can see the Alarm off and Snooze buttons at the time the alarm is set, but there is just no sound!!!!

It also switches the fone sound off so when a call comes in, it doesnt ring. And i need to turn off wolfclock at the running programs place so that the sound will come bk. It doesnt simply adjust the volume of the PDA, but somehow, mutes the entire fone.

Can anyone advise please :?: :?: :?: :cry: :cry:

PS - Super Alert seems to be working fine, but interface is crap!!
[General Topics] aceangel:
You can try mortplayer, which is also freeware + plays Mp3s/Ogg + has an alarm built-in. It's like killing a few birds at once.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Hey, this thread is for retail phones that had 1.2GHz as stock on ICS (with 5 steps). If your phones max on ICS was 1GHz, this won't help you.

I was playing with bmm and multi booting. I had ICS based ROMs on other systems. I found that just flashing the boot image didn't make my max speed 1.2GHz. So I realized that wasn't what decided the max clock speed. So I did some experiments and found that it was the device tree. So I flashed my ICS device tree and voila! I got back my 5 step. Max of 1.2 GHz on China JB. I just created a simple script.

Download http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?380w6ytoae05pjb

Instructions

1. Download and extract the rar file.
2. Put your phone in fastboot mode.
3. Run runme.bat
Done. Enjoy
[Motorola Atrix 2] shennwuu:
This cannot be underclocked to stock. Tested everytime and when attempting to underclock ,it always appear to be on 1.2 .
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Ok I finally think I understand what your mean here.. And sorry lost this thread..

Anyway, if you are saying you want to take it back to 1.0 GHz on JB leak the way it was, well, just rename the JB device_tree . bin as devtree and replace it and flash it as in the OP..
[Motorola Atrix 2] marclen:
I got the phone with the Jelly Bean leak 3 already installed, and it was already rooted, so I don't know if my ME865 was at 1.2GHz when it was on ICS (if it ever was).

If it wasn't at 1.2GHz, then would me doing this brick the phone?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
No.. It won't brick.. Either you get the 5 slot or you don't..

[One (M7) Accessories] pwr2wh8:
As with most people, I was excited to receive my Poetic Atmosphere case until I read it blocked the RF transmitter. Knowing I would loose function of the transmitter, I wasn't overly joyed when the package arrived today. However, looking closely at the case, I figured I'd attempt to mod the case to regain functionality. I figured if I partially expose the transmitter, enough IR light would pass through. I did a quick test and covered the portion of the transmitter that was going to remained covered by the case with electrical tape. Gave it a go...and it worked! I went ahead a modified the case and it's works just fine! I'm sure I might have sacrificed long term user life of the button, but it should definitely last until the revised cases are shipped. In reality, I could see it lasting a few months at the least.

If you got your case and want to regain function of the RF transmitter, give it a go and let me know if it worked for you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnexplainedBacon:
Howdy all,

Pardon me of this is common knowledge. I've never seen it before and I dont see anything posted when I search. I may not be using accurate terminology.

TL;DR version is I restored my phone from a nandroid backup. I see now I have a folder called "0" and within it is all my old stuff. Downloads folder, icon packs, saved files for different apps, etc etc. What's odd is one level up from there I have all those folders too. Its like when the restore was done it restored everything to the 0 folder but also recreated the normal folder structure outside of that. What up wit dat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
The 0 folder is created by the multi-user implementation of android 4.2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] UnexplainedBacon:
OK... So I was on Beans (4.1) then tried CM (4.2) then restored Beans from nandroid. It was the brief stint on CM that created it?

Is there any reason to keep the 0 folder? Can I just copy/move any data in the sub folders then delete em?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Use the restore SD script from the CM10.1 thread after you flash a TW ROM to get rid of the multi user structure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JPhantom95:
I went from LiquidSmooth to Jelly Beans (a touchwiz-based rom) to LiquidSmooth again. Unfortunately, it looks as though my internal sd card was wiped in the process. However, my internal SD card is suspiciously full of data.

No matter how much digging I do, I can't seem to find why the internal storage is so full despite all the visible folders accounting for hardly any space at all.

These combined folders only make up 781 kb of data.

Are my old files still hiding somewhere in my Galaxy S3?

EDIT:

I found the data! It was hidden in mnt/shell/emulated.

Hopefully this helps someone in the future if they run into this same problem.

This is my first phone on the At&t network and my bars are between 1&2 sometimes 3. I figured this was just normal since I have no other phone compared with.

I am curious as to how you switched from one to the other. I am still used to the HTC One X and being able to do that manually. With this new phone I can't find the right spot to do the switching.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
Go to Settings/About/Network

the RSRP(dBm); is your signal strength ..the bars really are just guessing and change from rom to rom/kernel

Hi,

I commute to school underground with no service for roughly 1.5 hours. During that time, I like to watch youtube videos. Besides TubeMate, is there any Android app (or any method on Android) to download youtube videos AUTOMATICALLY? I want to have the videos download while I sleep so it is available to me when I wake up and get ready. Right now I manually download some videos using TubeMate (when I remember).

I did have another setup using "youtube-dl" program on linux and setting up a cron job to download the latest video from a channel. I would then upload this to dropbox and then redownload it on my Android using FolderSync app.

Please tell me if there is a better way to auto download new videos from youtube channels. I have a Galaxy S3.

So, I have the AOKP ROM on my phone and I decided to update my ROM through the updater that came with the ROM.

After updating it, I started having pop ups with 'android.process.acore'. It keeps telling me that it was crashing.

So, after researching, I uninstalled my Facebook and cleared my Contact Data etc.

Then I realized that after updating my ROM, my Gmail, G-Talk, and Google Play Store stopped working/uninstalled.

Every time I try to open the play store, it would crash and force close....

After multiple times, I decided to restore factory settings and wipe data/clear cache through recovery mode and reinstalled the ROM the old school way (downloading it online and storing it onto my SD card).

After properly installing the new ROM (AOKP), I still don't have my Google Play Store. I've tried to get my phone to download and install the APK file online, but my phone doesn't recognize the apk file.....

Now, I don't know what to do. :( I think I f'ed up..... :( Help? I tried searching it already......
