Idk, maybe? Youd probably get better feedback if you posted this as an independent question rather than here.

Thats interesting about the WCDMA thing though. Ive heard before that that can help but havent tried it... most stuff i havent tried because im afraid of doing something wrong and screwing up the radio, haha

Some have had their speed reinacted through straight talk by calling and apologizing and complaining and asking to speak to the manager, basically any means possible you have of trying to extract precious high speed from them. But, who knows how long it would last for if you were able to succeed.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Old technology. It was replaced with Sims. Long ago. If it were that simple people would just put there Sim into a different phone and have full access again. This can NOT be done.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arampapaz:
I also use MetroPCS, but I have not seen any throttling. I would def call them. I have found their cust service to be pretty good. I normally get 50-75mb down speeds here in New York and I use 15-20 gb's a month. There are areas where the speed will be slower, but it is still 15mb or higher in those areas. The $60 plan does not have any throttling.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] zombunny:
Ahhh. So that applies to CDMA phones, but not GSM phones, if im understanding correctly?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] zombunny:
Man, wish I could get MetroPCS where I live.... Im stuck with AT&T or any prepaid plans that piggyback off AT&T. Super jealous right now, I can only use 3GBs until data speeds become unbearable, haha
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arampapaz:
Yeah, I used to have AT&T, then Straight Talk. I switched to MetroPCS because I kept getting throttled after my 3gb's were up. The throttled speeds are useless. Now I don't have to worry about data at all. I wasn't sure the service would be too great, but I have not had any issues so far. But that's the great thing about buying unlocked phones, we are free to use whoever we want.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
CDMA phones use Sims as well.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] DRAGWAV:
You're going to want to use T-Mobile to get the best speeds. If you have a healthy MT2-L03 and using fast.t-mobile.com as your APN I'm never throttled unlimited top tier LTE. You won't get the same speeds with any other carrier.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
They are good for data. But coverage is very limited still.

cricket

I pay $55 a month from Cricket. That gets you 10gb of LTE. Throttled at 8mb a second. thats more then enough to do anything. I've had this phone since release and use mobile hotspot all the time for my laptop and tablet on the road.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] pucherto123:
So after being throttle you get 8mbps of download on 3g? What's your speed like before being throttle?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
What are you talking about that is before throttle. what providers promise and what the towers actually deliver is 2 different. things. 8mbps is LTE. my brother has a Note 4 on Verizion and on a speed test with 3 bars of LTE he only gets around 10mbps if he's lucky. he is not being throttled. he pays about $160 a month compared to my $55 from cricket. there is nothing on my HAM2 that I cant do with 8mbps. name something....

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] pucherto123:
Gonna have to stick with Metro PCS then, although kind of blows the area where I work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
metroPCS in Florida is horrible.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] zombunny:
Hehe, nice icon color theme. :D

I heard Cricket was bought out by at&t. So, are they piggybacking off other towers (verizon, sprint) as well, like how Straight Talk and Net10 does, or are their services only using at&t towers?

Bonus question if you can answer: Can a non-unlocked android (HAM2) be taken to them? Example: Could I take my Net10 HAM2, locked, to Cricket and have it immediately getting at&t service from them? I've only heard of switching network providers through unlocking the phone, but saw someone a couple days ago post that Cricket can use phones that are still locked. Sounds impossible to me, do you have any clarity to bring to this? :silly:

And, if must be unlocked, can I unlock and go to Cricket? Sorry for so many questions, just wanting the best experience with one of the best androids I've owned :victory:
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] malick88:
Well the throttle, they're not the throttle stuck as they are for contract subscribers. Prepaid is a set of throttle with the established ceiling. Which takes effect only when the tower is overloaded or down for the contract? And even then it will not lose 128Kbps. Carriers are lying, because they are not doing their job. All they want to do is make as much money as possible by throttling the heck out of prepaid users without cause and subscribers of the throttle contracts. If they were the same as'm sure everything will be fine for the strangulation of the contract. All you have to do is have a smart meter are implemented so that the network is softened by everything that is happening, upload large files. But they will do? No. Not until someone decides to take action and stop them from taking your right to surf the internet at a decent speed. FCC not long ago, but at least they are trying to stop them.

And further more it is better to take a VPN account for reducing the throttle and for this i got this article that might be helpful to others. www.vpnranks.com/bypass-isp-throttling/

I am sorry if this question has been asked before . I have nexus 7 1st gen 32GB. I updated to ver 5 and now it is showing 5949 GB. Have done factory reset several time, Data, cache wipe but no luck.

The partition shown with PC is same and any ROM or file placed here cannot be flashed. I have restored to factory and re-rooted it but same result.

Thanks in advance.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Did you try to call root (su) before delete? :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miro279:
Yes, sorry I didn't mention. Of course I tried to delete as root.

My guess is that the immutable flag could be set for that file by mistake. As neither lsattr nor chattr are working inside the phones environment, I cannot prove or unset that flag, but it might be another problem as well..
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
You might try to grab an aroma file manager zip for recovery and remove the file that way.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] romcio47:
It has already been discussed. 27.02 should be a good build, codeworkx's said
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miro279:
[MENTION=3237223]romcio47[/MENTION]: can you provide a link where this has been adressed or even solved? Thanks!! [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION]: I don't have any experince with aroma file manager, why do you think it's gonna be help? Permissions should remain unchanged and commands set should be the same, as with the booted device or adb shell or?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miro279:
I just realized the whole folder /storage/scdard0/cmupdater seems to be Immutable not just the file in it.. Any ideas how I can get chattr working on my phone?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] WhiteNeo:
Out of experience, I can say that aroma file manager helped in certain situations where the native android file managers failed. :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
I doubt you need chattr, it's probably the typical case of the /storage/sdcard0 having a different ownership then what the ROM/Kernel is setting on boot.

Apparently on the latest CM12 builds, vold is setting the user/group to 1023 (media_rw); the default is user/group 2800.

So if that is what is happening to you, try:

su
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

If not, then try the opposite, which even [MENTION=5122093]WhiteNeo[/MENTION] has stated in his threads plenty of times:

su
chown -R 2800:2800 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

Basically, if the ownership for /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 doesn't match what is set in vold/kernel, you won't have access after reboot; and apparently lately a lot of people are having issues with this ownership mismatch.

BTW, the sdcard0 is mounted on /mnt/media_rw, that's why you change the permissions there first. I'm pretty sure that without running the previous commands you might still be able to delete the file you want from /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0 ;)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miro279:
su
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0

dis the trick! Thanks a lot!!!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miro279:
Sorry to borther again. I have a Simulation Problem now with a different phone (Sony Nicki). There the structure is that internal Storage is mounted in /storage/emulated/0 I guess it might be a different path there as well. I can't find it in /mnt/media_rw though. Anyway, Problem here is that I Installed a new CM Version from the SD and now have a Second Folder /Storage/Emulated/0/0 where all "old" Files from before the Update Are. All These files Are not deletable Even by Root. Is there a was to completly redet all permissions and Start from a clean new Installation?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
That's happened to me before (don't remember on which phone). You can either use ADB or some Recovery based file manager to copy all the files back to the top /0 folder, then delete the redundant /0/0, etc. folders, or you can also copy all the files to your PC and format your Internal Memory. I think it's an issue with the recovery you used, don't remember.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] miro279:
Thanks vor the quick reply! I'll try adb Wehen I'm back home with my Linux box. Still it Sems that the whole /Storage/Emulated/0/0 folder is real only to me. (Being Root). Is this a Ownership Problem as well? Group for /Storage/Emulated is sdcard_r.. I Clan edit /Storage/Emulated/0

Also i Cannot find the mountpoint in /mnt for Internal Storage. It's not in /mnt/media_rw

Thanks a löst for your help!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Then you're most likely using 4.3. /mnt/media_rw is used only on 4.4+. Honestly I don't remember/know what the issue was, but I'm pretty sure it only on a certain old version of CWM, though I could be wrong.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admgloval:
Disregard, issue resolved.

I have posted several messages now and no one has ventured forth to help. I am trying to load a custom rom on a Kindle Fire HD 8.9, software version 8.5.1. I have the official Amazon Kindle adb drivers installed and can talk to the device via adb commands from the SDK. What I cannot do is get the device to boot into fastboot mode at all. I was able to root the device using Keymasterroot(or Keyrootmaster, don't remember the syntax) but the device just seems to ignore fastboot commands. Anyone know what may be going on here? I am running Windows 8.1 Pro x64. Like I said, using the SDK, I can talk to the device via adb but fastboot just will not respond no matter what I try. When I issue 'adb reboot bootloader', the device just reboots and goes back into FireOS. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have gone through a million threads and can't seem to find anyone who has my exact problem.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
Hello,

A very weird thing happens with a Galaxy Note 2 LTE that I have (GT-N7105 model).

It turns out that when the keyboard is displayed, despite having configured the Spanish (Spain) language and English (UK), I can't exchange them by sliding the spacebar and the keyboard settings icon doesn't show up in the status bar.

Also most puzzling of all is that when I'm writing a word and select one of the suggestions, automatically TWO spaces are added after the word when the normal thing would be none is added at first but ONE is added when you start typing the next word.

In addition, the Pushbullet app does not synchronize well between the PC and the Note (It worked perfectly with a Galaxy Note 3 that was stolen). When there is a notification on the phone, it also appears on the computer screen but if I click "dismiss", it does not disappear in the phone. Also, if I open in the phone the notification or eliminate it, the window does not disappear from the PC screen. It also does not work the "ignore notifications from app X" in the PC and finally the universal clipboard works when I copy something on the computer to paste in the phone but not vice versa.

Evidently there is something wrong with this phone but I do not know what it is and having detected these two failures, the keyboard and the Pushbullet, means there may be more failures I have not yet noticed.

I have another identical LTE model that works perfectly although this one is not unlocked to my operator. I've been to SamMobile and I downloaded the exact same firmware that this one has (latest version 4.4.2 of EE company in UK) and I've flashed it in the phone that is wrong but nothing, still the same failures. I've reset it, I've configured again and without installing any app, Keyboard failure still appears. I tried to flash other Firmwares but still failing, so I do not think it is something about the firmware or my personal settings because the keyboard fails even before configuring or installing anything.

What can it be? How do I fix it?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
Just had to do a fresh, install of Vista HPrem due to HDD failure.

WMDC is now out of beta, and I followed the install instructions from the download site to the letter, hard reset my Orbit.

Everytime I plug the orbit it, WMDC says 'connecting' for about 10 secs, then gives me a 'set up you device' / 'connect as a guest' dialogue for about 1 second before saying 'disconnected'.

I've literally tried this via system restore and even another fresh install of Vista loads of time and keep getting the same thing.

I had no real problem getting connected with WMDC beta's once I realised they existed.....how I wish I could download one now!

Any Ideas?

TIA

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mital:
Vista runs fine with my orbit. There is a driver update you should get, but for me that only resolved a problem connecting Windows Media Player 11 to my storage card - the phone sync'd fine on Vista ever since I got it in February...

Maybe a hard reset is needed, or you can try connecting your orbit to another computer and deleting the connection to your old (beta) computer from there?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
Tried that - a few times. Installed, reinstalled, robooted, reformatted, got updates from WU and manual, got driver update, hard resetted, reformatted......followed instructions to letter everytime. It dont work!

I reckon this is a new problem with the Orbit and WMDC 6 final. i.e. should you have a fresh install of Vista, and a freshly hard reseted device - they wont talk to each other.

I never had problems right from beta time, but fresh installs and hard resets are probably a rare condition today, something in the final release has been overlooked.

If anyone has successfully got a clean Orbit working with the please enlighten me.

Anyone got a beta 3 of WMDC knwocking about, I'm 99% sure I'll have no problem with that.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
REALLY surprised others have not yet experienced this problem. It is only a matter of time........

Can someone please tell me what driver the use for the Orbit - I think there is a problem with the final version of WMDC detecting what device is in use when it installs the driver. It gives me a box saying 'installing device driver' and when clicked it says 'unidentified device'

The driver appears in device manager on my faulty system for 1 second under PORTABLE DEVICES > WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE and is version 6.0.6000.16386 before dissapearing!

If i knew the correct driver - I could probably forcably install it.

There are one or two other people floating round the net now with this problem not al with orbits though. I've tried someones suggestion of opening a few ports in Vista Firewall (which aint even enabled) - no good.

TIA
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ricky200:
Try disabling the advanced network functionality mode from the USB to PC if you have that on your orbit.

When you connect your orbit, check as well if a local network connection is created under Network Connection.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
Tried disabling the advanced network setting. Same fault. Connects for about 1 second then dissapears ('Smartphone Sync' remains - 'mobile device' vanishes in device manager). No network connections are made in this mode.

With advanced usb setting on a LAN connection is made and held although the 'mobile device' driver works for one second then vanishes
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
Can someone please confirm that they are successfully using this driver without problems please? I'm sure this is the culprit due to its rather OLD date.

Many thanks in advance,

debully
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ricky200:
It's funny cause I dont even have the portable device in device manager. Maybe it's there on a default driver or something since it didn't recognise it at first. I think you need to get rid of all traces of the unrecognised device in your vista. Uninstall WMDC and the driver and start from a clean page, only plug in your device once everything has installed correctly. I'm having no problems with WMDC whatsoever on vista business, you have a weird problem buddy, it must be the different versions of WMDC.

Cheers.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
cheers,

I reckon if you've upgraded from xp or a previos incarnation of wmdc then your ok. Or maybe if your device has previosly worked with wmdc.

I seem to think that if you have a clean install of vista, and a brand new device then you are ****ed.

Theres enough people floating round the net now with this problem to indicate to MS that there is a real problem. Lets see how quickly the giant responds.

If somebody could just go to the trouble of posting the drivers that appear under device manager when they plug their artemis in - well it would probably cure my issue.

I know it's a lot to ask, you have to monitor device manager, find out what changes are made after you plug in your working device, then open said devices, note driver files AND upload em.....

Is it christmas yet?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Philip:
I am running a fresh install of Vista (Ultimate) with my O2 Orbit and have had no problems at all.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
Thanks phil - can you indicate what drivers show up in device manager when you plug your device in please?
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ricky200:
A fresh install on my side as well. Unfortunately mate no devices pop up in my device manager when I plugin my orbt. Sorry dude can't help there. Format your pc and start with a clean one that ought to fix everything up for you :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Philip:
I hope it's not too obvious a question, but did you download the Vista Mobile Device Manager update from the Microsoft web site - I don't think that you can get vanilla Vista to sync with an Artemis without it.

In C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, there is WpdRapi.dll and WUDFRd.sys loaded when the Artemis is connected. Both are 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205).

Hope this helps ...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] debully:
Phil - thanks again for the reply.

Yes I have the official downlaod from the official source.

I've successfully managed to install and sync an c500, c600 and m500 with wmdc with no problems.

But the drivers for the artemis just will not stick for more than one second before they say that the device has been disconnected.

Interestingly (although not sure about relevance) the serial driver loaded for the M500 is 'Pocket PC USB Sync' and the one for the Artemis is 'Smartphone USB Sync' - although forcing the driver does not resolve the issue.

I have created a new partition and installed vista on it. I get EXACTLY the same symptons before any drivers are installed (ie. on first boot) and after all updates (including afore mentioned official WMDC and driver update).

When the device is first plugged in I get a box come up which says 'installing unknown device' with a line below which says 'unidentified device - searching pre-configured folders). This never recognisises any devices but I am unable to find the unidentified device in device manager to manually force a driver.

Cheers for reading.
