The FCC halted a move by AT&T to artificially inflate market costs for competing carriers like Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile. AT&T's plan included tariff revisions that would raise competitors cost for backhaul as much as 24%. The end result would be increased cost to consumers and a less competitive market in which AT&T would be more likely to thrive. AT&T wanted to make the rate increase effective 12/10/13, but the FCC suspended it for five months while it investigates further..."There are substantial questions regarding the lawfulness of AT&T’s tariff revisions that require further investigation," the FCC said.

In a recent congressional hearing, AT&T Senior VP James Cicconi was asked how his company could raise prices 24 percent if it was operating in a competitive market. "I don't think we've raised prices; I think we eliminated some rate plans," Cicconi said.

Harold Feld said the FCC decision shows that new chairman Tom Wheeler "is not going to let AT&T rush him. This was a test." At first, AT&T argued that it didn't even need FCC approval to raise rates, but the FCC forced the company to file a request, Feld said.

That doesn't mean AT&T won't ultimately be able to raise prices, though. Telecom investment firm Stifel said it "doubt the FCC will ultimately prevent the phase-out outright, though we wouldn’t be surprised if it seeks changes to lighten the fallout somewhat."

hello guys i would like to thank all the users in this site , its amazing site and very helpful but as i'm beginner in all this i would like to share with a problem that i've faced yesterday

AGAIN I"M BEGINNER so please be paceint

after i rooted my xperia sola for the first time i'v flashed the stock rom , rooted it , flashed new kernel , flashed new costum rom every thing was allright i've been very glad util i've found that my mobile data connection is not working and even the icon"E or 3g ..etc" dosent show up

i've tried to choose my network provider manually and tried to download internet settings but still not work !!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Can be few things:

Try to flash other custom ROM to see if it works in there.

Try the data connection in other phone, to see if it's a physical problem.

Contact to your network provider to see if something goes wrong with your line.

I didn't faced any problems with it, always got data working in every ROM I've install, before and after rooting.

I used to have e4gt and there was a way if you had a kexec kernel to temp boot a tw rom just to update prl and profile, and then on next boot just go back to aosp. Is there a way to do this on jflte?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
There is dual boot. But only works with certain Roms. You could make a current ROM backup then download a TW , flash it. Then update prrl/profile and then restore backup.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Chefchris215:
I have a rooted photon 4g sprint edition running 2.3.4 and i want to know if there are any custom roms that keep 4g. I have not unlocked the bootloader or made any other changes to the phone yet. I have unlocked and rooted a few phoes in the past and had no problems but i have not found a good answer to this problem anywhere. I'm sorry if this is a repetative question but there are too many maybe answers out there. So basically 4g with custom rom yes or no? Please help
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
There's a thread in Dev section were you use pudding to unlock then relock to regain 4G.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
I have 4G and 4G LTE depending on coverage. So if you see 4G only that means you are getting HSPA/HSPA+ signal.

You can verify that with one of the dozen signal related apps on Play store. I see 4G icon time to time when LTE signal is not present.

I hate AT&T for removing the option to select radio.

http://www.orange.co.uk/business/corporate/brighterthinking/articles/edge.html

M5000 is one of only 5 compatible handsets apparently...

Is this so?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rottie:
JasJar doesn't support EDGE. Wizard does. Besides, what's the point? EDGE is a step back from UMTS. Jasjar is more advanced :wink: .
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Orange want 3G users to have an alternative when they are out of 3G coverage - which is no use if you have a Universal!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rottie:
I don't think that that's the reason, are there any devices (even normal phones) supporting BOTH?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] philtech44:
Have you read the Orange weblink I posted?

5th paragraph, 2nd line

???
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] philtech44:
anyway - whats the difference?? EDGE or UMTS
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
How odd

The Universal definatly doesn't support EDGE
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] philtech44:
well I just saved that web page for errr... future reference... we ALL know what Orange are like don't we?

spare batteries and the like, eh? :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rottie:
I've red it just now. That's why I was asking, now I know that new Nokias are both EDGE and UMTS(WCDMA) enabled.

Both with M5000 they're wrong.

And about the differences - good article:

Any idea if/when O2 are going to enable EDGE on their network? I'm sure many XDA mini users will be keen to know considering the lack of 3G support on the mini.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
I wish they'd leave all these dodgy systems alone, and concentrate on good honest 3G.

Forget EDGE, and O2, please definitely forget stupid, silly i-mode.

Why do companies think that steps back are good?

Throw all the resources into improving the 3G network.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Sorry friend, look at this extensive article from www.silicon.com

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@belfast-biker

O2 are piloting high speed 3G with the potential of 2MB download speeds soon and upto 20MB in the future. I know O2 have been slow to roll-out 3G but I have found the performance on their network better than on Vodafone and T-mobile.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
They're diluting the message with i-mode.

I like 3G, even though I only get 180-220Kbps on their network in Belfast, on a theoretical limit of 384K.

And that's after fighting them via phone and email to get the 128K limit lifted on my XDA, a limit imposed purely because I wasn't on a business tariff. Fcuking idiots wasted about an hour of my life until they relented.

Definitely not as forward looking as I'd like. And I work for them.

[Moto X Q&A] saltycoffee:
Hi, I rooted my phone through jcase's guide and everything was fine. I wanted to reinstall the apps & data from my previous phone, so I went into Titantiam Backup Pro and clicked "Restore all missing apps + system data." I was following this guide:

lifehacker.com/5843206/how-to-upgrade-to-a-new-android-phone-and-take-everything-with-you

Surprisingly, I didn't need to transfer the backup from the sdcard of my old phone to my new phone. I tried but my computer wouldn't read the SD card. I was having a friend do it, but in the meantime I went to look at that option in my new phone and all my old apps and data were already ready to be restored. So I restored and everything was fine - I could play Candy Crush where I left off, etc.

So the guide and Titantiam Backup said a reboot is recommended and I haven't been able to get into my phone since doing that. It goes through the Moto X boot up screen and gets stuck at the blue Moto logo.

I've tried all the hardware reset uptions (Normal Powerup, Recovery, Factory) and the same thing happens and I get stuck at the same place.

Please can anyone give me some advice, I can give you any more info you may need.

Here's what the hard reset screen looks like when I load it: imgur.com/2XoGnvx
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
You might not be able to restore your data as its probably effecting the moto from booting. Try fastboot erase userdata , this will erase your phone back to factory settings

Try to just install the apps and see how it goes, there's also moto migrate which I believe restores or moves your apps from old phone to the moto, haven't used it but worth a try

Sent on my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] saltycoffee:
The problem is the data was restored, but then when I rebooted my phone it won't get past the load screen. I don't care about the data now but I can't connect with adb or fastboot cause my computer doesn't recognize my device.

edit: it's also worth noting this is a Republic Wireless Moto X so I don't have access to the ROM/bootloader
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Make sure you have the latest drivers, are you using a windows 8 computer?
[Moto X Q&A] saltycoffee:
Okay, sorry, you were right, fastboot erase userdata did the trick. I was just unfamiliar with how to use it (cmd line). My phone is back to factory now, but it's on again! Now time to re-root :laugh:

Thanks.

edit: nvm, still got root access!
[Moto X Q&A] mwalt2:
You don't want to restore system data. That is why you soft bricked. You probably came from a different version of android. Only restore app data and I'd only do the apps you really need to restore rather than doing them all.
[Moto X Q&A] chrisyou:
I can't stand the haptic feedback on this phone especially in a quiet room. The vibration is more like a rattle and it doesn't matter how I set it. Is there a mod to turn off ALL haptic feedback? Any one else have issues with a rattle near the top of the phone with haptic feedback on? I almost want to go back to my note II.
[Moto X Q&A] cipsaz:
You mean the rattly vibration on the keyboard?
[Moto X Q&A] v3rn:
I did on my weave black moto x. But I just got my motomaker one and it doesn't rattle like my other one. Its much better

[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
My only complaint about the phone. I have vibration disabled across the board but it still vibrates when unlocking through active notifications and it annoys the crap out of me. I've gotten used to it, but I wish I didn't have to. I have a launch day motomaker 32gb. My Nexus 5 has awesome haptic feedback, completely silent but strong enough to feel it when you need to. I wish that's how the X was.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
You must have gotten lucky with your N5. Most people have a problem with the vibration motor. But yeah, I know what you mean by that. The N4 was the same way. As well as most other LG phones.
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
I got real lucky with it, not a single defect that other people complain about. No dead pixels, literally zero light bleed, tight buttons, pretty good battery life, and awesome vibration. I never get perfect phones, they always have some sort of annoying defect. It's nice for a change lol
[Moto X Q&A] Deenybird:
My haptic is rattly as well. I don't think it is a defect, just a different implementation from what I am used to. I am coming from a GS3 and the haptic was much more subtle. I wish it could be changed, but I'm dealing with it ok.
[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
Yeah, since they released the new revision of the N5(bigger speaker holes and fixed buttons), I think I might just buy one.
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
Mine was a launch N5 so when I say I got lucky, I mean LUCKY haha. But the new ones supposedly mitigate some of the problems like you said. Go for it, it's a great phone and a great value.
[Moto X Q&A] Jamolah:
I too hate the haptic feedback on this phone, I have it turned off all the time, but as we all know you can't turn it off from active notification.
[Moto X Q&A] finalarcadia:
Some phones are better than others. Had 1 moto x with horrible rattling, the other 3 i've had are acceptable. The moto x itself doesn't have the best of vibration motors. Can always replace if you cant stand yours, maybe you'll have more luck.
[Moto X Q&A] scootle74:
I have to wonder if they just have the vibration timers set weird in software. I use Swype with haptic feedback turned on, and since it lets you adjust the timing of the vibration, it gives some room to play with things. I set mine to 15ms and it's not bad.

The default vibration modes do suck... I totally agree that it's a little "rattly".

I'm running a 32GB MotoMaker VZW phone from the CyberMonday run.
[Moto X Q&A] soukie:
My haptic feedback rattly as will, that is only compliance I have with the phone

[Moto X Q&A] jonnythan:
I've got a minor rattle on mine. If I squeeze the top of the phone together, near the headphone jack, it goes away.

Something is clearly loose in there.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
Hello there

My name is Kareem and I'm using a Sony Xperia U 4.0.4 and build number 6.1.1.B.1.10.

So the thing is that I want to update my phone to 4.4 Kitkat and I'm following this thread.

I rooted my device, and I'm now trying to unlock bootloader. My devices says that I'm able to bootload but I still need to unlock it. So I googled around and came across this video which shows me how to unlock bootloader. First I had problems with installing the drivers because I am using windows 8.1 64-bit, but after I disabled “Driver Signature Enforcement” I managed to install the drivers.

And here the problem starts... I have to press the up volume button while plugging in so I can start fastboot. As what I was told, I did and the blue led on the left side turned on. But when I look on my desktop I get a notification that my usb device is not recognized.

Can anyone tell what causes this issue? Otherwise, is there another and maybe an easier way to unlock bootloader?

Kind regards

Kareem

P.s. I'm using that flashtool software to unlock bootloader. It's called "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde".
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
I prefer to use this.

Is the official method for unlocking the bootloader, includes the drivers and stuff, just follow that tutorial and you're good to go.

Also you have to make sure that your phone can have unlocked bootloader first, if not, then, you have to stick to locked bootloader ROM's.

Now, sorry for saying like this but Windows 8.1 is such a pain in the a**, it always gives error because the drivers isn't signed, if you get problems with that again use this.

USB not recognized, well the solutions for that problem can be:

Use other USB port, if still doesn't work on any of the ports, then can be the slots or bad placement of pins in the motherboard, almost never is a problem of internal dust in the computer but you can try these.

Try other USB cable, may be the cable is failing, try other from another Android phone to complete the process.

Try using other computer with WIndows 7 or Ubuntu.

If you were not able to get working, then tell me.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
Thanks for your reply. Both links are the ones I came across too, I used the first one but not the second one. So I'm trying the 2nd link, but I'm troubling with

There is no android bootloader interface in my usb_driver folder. Do I need to get it from somewhere like the SDK manager or a website?

Kareem
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Windows key + R, write devmgmt.msc, enter.

Plug your phone and look if some device is recognized in the list, it may appear as Android or something like that, if you got it, then follow me.

Right click to it, Update driver, select from computer, use a list from the PC, and "Use disk", see if there's something that says like that because I got Windows 7 in spanish so it's different.

In that browse for the folder that has the .inf file and open it, it returns a list that you have to select the interface, next and your driver may be installed.

Understand? I can explain more but I have Windows in spanish so I don't know how is in english.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
Okay.

So I got to Device Manager and when I plug my phone when going in fastboot mode it first appeared as Android but then later on it appeared as Other Device(s) and after a split seconds it goes away. That's because the fastboot doesn't last long since fastbood isn't unlocked yet (and yest bootunlocker:yes is stated on my phone when dialing a code).

Secondly to your explanation. So when I still try to update the driver I can choose to let windows find a driver a use my own software to update it. So I clicked on use my own software, chose the path where the usb_driver is located. But only the folders appear, I can't see the ini or inf. files.

Edit: I'm actually going to downgrade back to windows 7. Since I went to 8.1 it gave a lot of troubles like unsupported screen resolutions and this.

Update: I managed to borrow my sister's laptop for one time, her laptop contains windows 7. So I got on her laptop and took my usb with flash-tool on it and a kernel. I connected my phone with cable while holding the buttons to get in fastboot mode, voila it got recognized by flashtool. I'm one step closer to unlocking bootloader with only one trouble a head. So when I try to unlock my bootloader with a kernel I get an error that my phone needs to be rooted first. The thing is that my phone has been rooted already, plus I just test if it is rooted and the test said that it's rooted. What can be the problem? Not having the right kernel? Not having pc companion on that pc?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Tried to unlock the bootloader with the Sony method?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
Okay I'm going to try it right now, at least I want to but there are some steps very confusing for me.

13. Well when I connect my phone in fastboot mode it doesn't ask for driver installation, it happens automatic i guess. No problem, right?

14. Do I have to do it like the screenshot?

Kind regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
13. If your phone is recognized in fastboot mode then continue, if not, update the driver.

14. Know the command "cd"? Is for accesing directories, you can use "dir" to see whats in the folder. Example, you downloaded the Android SDK bundle in the Desktop, then "cd" to the "tools" directory, that contains the binary to unlock the bootloader. That's in cmd.

Like:

cd /SDK/adt-bundle-blah-blah/sdk/tools

And, you're using Windows 8, again, your device is recognized in fastboot mode?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
Thank you for the clear explanation, makes sense now ( already knew that cd thing, wasn't sure though).

Uhm don't mind me using windows 8 atm. I'm downloading 32-bit sdk so I can use it on my sisters laptop. ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Right, if anything goes wrong, feel free to ask!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
By the way. Do I need to make a copy my ROM I already have? Like when something goes wrong I can still go back to my original android 4.0.4
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
It's recommended to keep the stock ROM or any other ROM if anything goes wrong.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kareem_XperiaU:
And how can I do that to be honest?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
In this post, there are a list with all stock and custom ROM's available in XDA forum, you should download stock and if anything goes wrong then flash the stock ROM with flashtool. You know, flashmode, select kernel, connect to green led, let it boot, and you have stock.

By now, try to unlock the bootloader, if you need help with the flashing then you can ask by here or create another thread.

I've bought a nook hd plus,after checking,it seems I've got the dodgy chip.

I'm planning on putting 10.1.3 on it,and obviously not mess with the trim kernel fix.

lag but is that the worse thing I'll encounter?

Or will this dodgy chip eventually break my nook and make it
