How come you have to *tell* them your IMEI for them to figure this out? Surely they can see exactly what the IMEI of your phone is the minute it connects to their network?

In other news, I hear that Comcast are going to charge more for your internet connection if you have an XBOX connected to it. Their rationale is that with Netflix support and XBOX Live capability, you're capable of using more of their bandwidth.

OK, I'm (obviously) kidding on that last point. But that's effectively what AT&T are doing here.
[Nexus One General] mer6:
How is that possible? I'm on Even More Plus with my N1, my Dad's G1, and my Bro's G1 and we're paying $145 a month for 1500 mins + unlimited web (no need for text plan since we all use Google Voice), and we aren't bound to 2-year terms. @_@
[Nexus One General] maxh:
There's probably a good chance you do have it. Supposedly you can find it listed somewhere on OLAM, but I don't know where people are looking.
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
You can get a discount easily with T-Mobile there are tons of discounts. My 20% discount with T-Mobile right now is because I'm in college. My previous one was for working at Wal-Mart 5 years ago [lol they never took it off].

I work for AT&T and I have T-Mobile

and I don't plan on switching. Even though AT&T would give me my 20% discount it would still cost more. You can get on T-Mobile without a contract. T-Mobile is the cheapest cell company and they're advertising that a lot right now. The prices for non contract services are great. I can't wait till mine expires because I'll be saving even more money. The Non-contract services aren't "pay as you go" either, they're just monthly usage plans as normal but you're not under contract. The only reason why prices are so high is because you're paying for the phone in your monthly bill.

I love working for AT&T [best company I've ever worked for] but I don't agree with a lot of our ways of doing things. Like how we're the only ones raising prices right now in this economy. There are multiple things I disagree with but it's all business

Oh and the "if you don't have an iPhone they don't care" statement is kind of ridiculous. Sounds a little biased and senseless.
[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
yeah, just looked it up, the smartphone exclusion shows up on my N1 line as well as my brother's Samsung Blackjack II;

so what exactly does the smartphone exclusion mean?
[Nexus One General] jtroye32:
If the phone isn't from AT&T they won't have the IMEI linked in their database of phones. Unless they get a list of IMEIs from google for the unlocked/unsubsidized Nexus' (don't know the legalities in this), they won't know it's a Nexus.

This is why they know you have an IPhone.. they have all Iphone IMEIs linked to their respective Iphones.
[Nexus One General] maxh:
People suspect that AT&T will be offering a version of the nexus one at some time and that is why they have the IMEIs in their database.

It means you're exempt from the smartphone data plan requirement! :) You can put your SIM card in a dumbphone, add the cheap data plan, then switch your SIM card back to the nexus one and they won't automatically add the expensive data plan back on like they will to other people.
[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
right now there is an option for me to add the cheap data plan ($10/month) on my N1
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I had my data plan changed to the $10 month when I got my Nexus, of course like everyone else, they automatically bumped it back up to $30 within about 2 weeks. Now, we get our bill and it turns out they prorated me for those 2 weeks!! My bill is $14 more this month. Awesome!! Anyone else have this happen?

Also, we just got a T-Mobile account to try it out. (with a mytouch, horrible phone) The service is a joke in this area.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Yup same thing. Got charged $94 instead of $75. All because their billing system is screwy.

When I called them they said I would get a credit the next month, too bad I wont have service with them then.
[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
i don't have data plan with AT&T and didn't sign up for the $10 data plan; however, the phone was still sending out data so i was charged a lot for data for the past month; called and got AT&T to reduce it by half and then added data block on my line; now, i don't have to worry about AT&T data and can use wifi (near wifi almost always)
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
I heard that AT&T automatically adds the $30 data plan based on how much data you pull down for those on the $10 plan. I'm not sure how accurate this is or what level of data usage you need to hit to trigger this.
[Nexus One General] deekjx:
This is what we did to my daughters phone line. My fiance had an iPhone but upgraded to the droid with Verizon. Since the contract still existed on my daughters line, we stuck he sim into the iPhone so she can use that. We then added the data block feature to her plan.

I'm hoping to switch to Verizon, but I don't know if they are getting the Desire (aka bravo not eris).
[Nexus One General] NexusX:
Man the data bull**** is the reason I am going to leave Verizon.

So if I get the Unlock nexus 1 right now, and put in an ATT sim they will bull**** me with a data plan?

Anyway to fake my IME or whatever it is?

Oh anyone know where these automatic system that force data plan on you are?
[Nexus One General] BoostedSR20:
I thought this as well, since they shouldnt be able to tell that your on a Nexus. (unless they did get the IMEI's)
[Nexus One General] maxh:
That is false. They don't change your plan based on how much data is used. If they change it automatically, it is due to detecting the IMEI. Even though it may show as unknown when you check your account online, AT&T's systems do know that it is a nexus one, and they have decided to push nexus one users onto the more expensive data plan.
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
Just came across this,saying that the Hero wont support Flash 10.What do you think about that?
[Hero CDMA General] KyleIsTheBeast:
WHAT?

Well, that sucks ass >.> What are we suppose to do? Maybe one of our awesome devs can work on it when the issue comes up. *waits for toast to read this* :D:p LOL
[Hero CDMA General] durhamite:
no biggie, by the time it comes out, I will be able to upgrade and hopefully will get the rumored supersonic!!
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
Just because they say the hero won't be supported doesn't mean we won't have it.. lol
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
Oh I know we'll have it.

Just curious on peoples thoughts as to whether it'll be able to run.Guess we'll just have to wait and see till one of these brainiacs get ahold of it and see what they can do.
[Hero CDMA General] venumx:
i like that adobe already knows its going to cause battery issues lol
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
I thought the battery drain was negligible. I read an article yesterday on engadget saying that they streamed about 3 hours of video on a nexus one. The article made it sound like it wasn't a battery hog.
[Hero CDMA General] ko0pa11:
yeah your right, that guy above you didn't read the article right haha
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
yea but adobe knows we'll have it :D Wonder if they're just trying to deter us...lol
[Hero CDMA General] troyboytn:
I can honestly say that I couldnt care less. I dont play flash games. Youtube has its own app (though it currently doesnt work in the 1.5 OS), and HULU blocks mobile connections. So....what is left to use flash for....the thousands upon thousands of ads dancing across nearly every web page and bragging rights against Apples Iphone. No thanks Adobe, I can live without your crap software.
[Hero CDMA General] boredmug:
Point well made..
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I don't think the battery will be an issue. I think the CPU is just too slow.
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
Agreed,but man,wheres the love for us who purchased the Hero not too long ago...
[Hero CDMA General] roundaway:
Just read Palm is updating the Pre WebOS today via OTA. Among the changes is support for Flash 10. Doesn't say it'll work on the Pre, just supported.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
It says Flash 10 will be available in the app store soon.

The Pre has much more robust hardware than the Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] Monkey Brawler:
Flash 10 would be rather useful in some cases, i know personally i would like to listen HoNcast videos while im at work without loading down my network at work. Boss doesn't like that...by the time we get flash 10...flash 11 or 12 might be out and id still be boned...but i can always hope for the best ha ha
[Hero CDMA General] lgevo:
we should

port android to the damn pre so we could have basically a droid... except my hero gets a much better signal compared to the damn pre....
[Hero CDMA General] Lappie2010:
I think it sucks. A lot of false promises with this phone. I feel like a beta tester

If anything my thought is that Sprint should allow another upgrade for Hero users. This phone has never worked at 100% since I got it. It's issue after issue.
[Hero CDMA General] sirstanley:
I have to agree that, while I love this phone, it was definetely produced in a very incomplete state. It's really BS that HTC made the Nexus One not three months later and it has twice the hardware, plus a flash for the camera. WTF?
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
The hero has to have flash, it was the first phone with flash lite! Also, I'm sure that a developer will get it *looks at toast* if it 'isn't supported' and show them :P.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
oh man... this is horrid news. is the hero to android what the pixi is to palm webos? this is why i got rid of my pixi, becuase the lack of love for it compared to the pre. i hope we can get flash on the hero becuase i want to hold onto it until at least october, then hopefully i can get the nexus one or other android device on sprint. :mad:

and tbh the pixi had a great design, just like the hero does. i hope one of our devs here can port flash? does this mean the gsm hero won't get it either?

WOW look at that list of android phones with no flash support. even the moment? what the hell was goggle/htc thinking?
[Hero CDMA General] rulermon:
it was not goggles fault (but the goggle app is pretty cool) or htc they could not inticipate that adobe with all its chity software was going to require a 1jigaherts (say it how its spelled jig-ahertz) or better i think that is rubish but that is just me how come the first and only android phone with flash wont support flash. how does this make sence? (and im not talking about htc-sence)
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
Bump...

Well i got the desires browser loaded up on toasts 2.0.1 rom. that was the flash bottleneck i believe. i am currently working on importing the flash components. i will have an update tom. hope everyone likes the pic. btw it does run.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
even more good news on this subject.

the browser loads flash as you will see in the pic. hulu that is :) but it FC's instantly this is the best pic i could get of the browser attempting to load the page before force close. im going to logcat it tom. and finish up with flash on the hero hopefully :)
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
Cool,im sure once 2.1 is officially out you smart people will figure it out.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jpfrost15:
hi I have a problem with my 8502 whenever I try to open the camera the phone just hang and needed to do a reset is there any fix to this problem?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hintell:
maybe u should wait 5 seconds or more after start the camerfa, the phone has a response delay.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jpfrost15:
I waited more than 5 mins still and I cant press any key after that it just hang.
[Nexus One General] mr_skot:
After lurking forever I finally pulled the trigger and rooted my N1. Painless.

Fastboot to unlock the bootloader - Check

Flashed Amon_RA recovery image - Check

Created nandroid backup - Check

Flashed nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip - Check

Confirmed su working - Check.

Now what? Is it just as simple as putting a new ROM on my SD and reflashing?

Or do I need to do it through adb?

I know each of them seem to have different instructions. Some need you to wipe before, others you can flash over the top of your existing ROM.

Is there a standard way that works across all ROMS when it comes to flashing? Should there be to make is easy for the rest of us?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] minogue:
Put a rom in and flash from recovery! :)

Shouldnt be too hard as you have gotten mostly everything done already! I would recommend trying out the Desire rom from MOdaco! Check the development section. download it and try it for yourself and or Cyanogens Rom!!!!
[Nexus One General] drpfenderson:
Welcome to the world of root! Congrats!

Always back up first, then wipe, then flash the .zip from the root of the phone. That way you can restore if you futz it up. It's that easy.
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Usually when you're upgrading a Rom with a new version the person has put out you won't need to wipe, example going from Cyanogen 5.0.3>5.0.3.1 but if you're using different peoples roms you'll always need to wipe. Sometimes you will for an upgrade and the dev will state this, just always read their instructions and always backup before flashing anything. Have fun :)
[Nexus One General] mr_skot:
Thanks for the input. Just a few more questions:

1 - If I do a nandroid backup won't that overwrite the last backup? Can I rename the nandroid folder on the SD card before doing another backup?

For example, I currently have a backup of the stock rom. Can I rename the nandroid folder on the SD card to something like "/nan_bu_stock" before I run another nandroid backup?

2 - Then I select the wipe option from the RA's recovery correct? This won't wipe the SD card too will it, just simply wipe the device back to 'factory' correct?

3 - Then do I place the new ROM .zip file on the root of the SD card or the root of the device? I'm assuming I select the RA 'flash from .zip' option to flash the new ROM correct?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] minogue:
No, it wont overwrite it, it will create a new folder with the latest backup and the folders will be named depending on the date. such as 2/25 with a whole bunch of letters. you can also rename it from the sd-card

Answer 2 - no it wont wipe sd card.

Answer 3 - you place it on the root of the sd-card! :)
[Nexus One General] mr_skot:
And finally....

After the .zip from the new ROM is on the root of my SD card I use the 'flash zip from sdcard' option ?
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
It is as easy as that, but make sure you wipe first else you will likely get errors, enjoy CyanogenMod.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Yep, its that simple. Select that option, then select the zip file for the ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] oliver79:
hey there.

i am looking for a way to switch the WM autolock on and off by shortcut.

so i need a cab which i can use as shortcut to toggle on the WM autolock by reg-key when i leave the house.

and when i am back at home, i want to use the same shortcut to turn the autolock off.

so i think that cab has to look if the reg-key is at 1 or 0 and change it automatically.

OR

and that'S pretty easy for people who know how to make such a simple cab.

2 shortcuts.

one turns autolock on, one turns it off

are there any links? maybe this is still existing.

the reg key i have to change is:

hkcu/controlpanel/backlight/autodevicelockenable

i got that bsb tweak tool. but, when i switch the autolock onb or off.. nothing changes.

so it's that key i have to change..

thank you very much..
[General Questions and Answers] oliver79:
sorry, but why move away from any WM threads?

in WM software development there are also several cab requests.

the posts, which have been moved here, most of them never have any answers...

any maybe you write a short note that requests are not allowed in the WM app area!?

or do you move the thread back, when somebody posts the apps i asked for in here? cause, then there are apps. and i could change the REQ to APP..!?

*confused*

Did you turn off sense and run the reboot and turn sense back on? The exe changes the reg so even if you had a message you hadnt read it would mark it as read

[HD2 General] fruchtfliege:
hello! i hope i'm the first who opened a thread about this:

i don't want to use a taskmanager at top right because there already exists a X-button at the bottom right. but when i use this button, the tasks just run in background and won't close completely... my question is now:

is there any taskmanager for wm 6.5.x which integrates in the bottom taskbar to fully close tasks with the stock X-button? or is there maybe a tweak like bsb where i can change this setting?

thx in advance!
[HD2 General] appelflap:
AMeBa can do this, and more. (make sure you install all three cabs that are attached to the first post)

Happy closing
[HD2 General] byronlee:
In HTC Task Manager (V. 2.1 Build 1918.3631), there is the option of "Enable the"X" button to end running programs" either by tapping "X" or tapping + holding "X". Not sure whether this works on ALL programs though.
[HD2 General] appelflap:
Unfortunately that task manager doesn't run on windows mobile 6.5.x (bottom-bar WM) .

This one does. It doesn't close application by tapping on the x button, but by tap-and-hold the clock in the new windows mobile version.
[HD2 General] woaloo:
XTask DO the job !!!

I'm using Xtask, especially XHook.exe, to close all my apps, and it works like a charm.

No installation, it's only an exe, run as service after each reset, do no eat memory.

I've remapped my Close/OK button to XHook.exe (with AEButtonPlus), and now I REALLY close apps.
[HD2 General] fruchtfliege:
thank you for your replies. i already discovered xtask and it works fine! :D
[HD2 General] pospa:
Maybe, it's better set to 'OK Key' (in AE Button plus) command 'Close active application'
[HD2 General] andersondb1:
I like everything about this ROM and plan to upgrade from the Sept 3rd to Oct 3rd this weekend.

I would like to know about the zoombar and scrolling thru messages from the main screen.

On other builds, I could do this if i was at msg 15, zoombar back to 1 real quick instead of flick flick flick.

Can you maybe fix this and cook into your final copy.

I dont know how many people dont use ms voice command as its one of the first to load for my bt headset and hearing messaging in my ear.

Maybe the concensus could be to cook or not cook it in.

Everything else works beautiful compared to other ROM's i have tried and I also commend you on your work.

I will be changing the battery icon myself as its very hard to read the percentage at a glance.

Thank you for all you do.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
huh?

well i see you wrote thank you, so you're welcome :D
[HD2 General] andersondb1:
If you could read, you would see that I am asking about the zoombar function to be fixed.

Also I would like to use VLingo but it requires a dedicated button to set during configuration and the PPT is not there under the settings/personal/buttons.

I mapped the button using the Ameba settings to Voice command but Vlingo still doesnt work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BzeBwoi:
I've searched everywhere for a QuickGPS cab since it was not cooked into the Rom I'm currently using. I only found many old versions and was wondering if someone could post the new 2.0 cab or if anyone knows how to make a Cab from an OEM Package?

Normally, I am one to root as soon as it is unboxed, however, with this phone, I have not rooted it yet.

Mainly for the fact that it is working so well, I can't see why...

Now, I LOVE the dev's here and WILL root my phone once some of these ROM's are a bit more stable. I'm not saying they are bad, just that the features I use regularly are not working as well as I would like based on feedback.

As always though, the Dev's here step up and do a fantastic job getting things done and working, I will be compelled to root and mod... I can't wait for that day! :D
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Limping on one foot with half a brain is a non issue. :D
[Nexus One General] Talderon:
Thanks for letting me know... I'll be sure to watch for ya... :p

In all seriousness though, the stock ROM, at the moment, has its benefits over those that are out now.

Mainly, everything works (at least for me).

BT, Wi-Fi, Camera/Flash, sync and the list goes on and on...

Once ERE36B is release OTA, I am sure most of these custom ROM issues will clear up and there will be more reason to root and flash.

For now, just going to keep watching the forums. :D

[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Not trying to Convince you to root your phone, or make an argument here, but in my own experience. The custom N1 ROMs that are up for grab right now are pretty stable. It does everything the stock ROM can do and more. Heck even Modaco's alpha version of the desire ROM is near perfect.

As far as picking my favorite though, of have to give it up to Enomther, and Cyanogen's N1 ROMs and Modaco's Desire ROM.
