[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
If your argument is that IE6/IE7/IE8 users aren't going to upgrade to IE9 then the hurdle is users willingness to upgrade to newer software rather than a codec problem, isn't it?

Good for Mozilla to take a stand against MPEG-LA, but that still doesn't change the fact that their browser has HTML5 support (including the video tag) already, so clearly they aren't opposed to HTML5 video either. H.264 is the going to be the standard and Mozilla isn't going to win this fight, and I'm sure they recognize that at some point they will have to just suck it up and hook into the video libraries installed on the system through stuff like gstreamer on linux and the Windows and OS X equivalents. They don't need to provide the decoding directly.

So what if Flash 10.1 on Windows is currently more efficient based on armchair benchmarkers measuring CPU usage reported in Task Manager. What happens in year or two from now when they aren't the best and once again Adobe let's the flash plugin stagnate? And what about platforms other than Windows? What if I want to make my own OS with my own web browser and Adobe doesn't feel the need to port Flash to my system? Why on earth would anyone feel like it's a good idea to put a large chunk of the web into the hands of one company with a track record of poor support?

I don't understand why Flash solves the issues raised by Mozilla. It uses H.264 as well, so the patent and licencing issues remain the same and consumers still get stuck using that codec! Why is it that Mozilla is unwilling to use a system video codec library, but a Flash plugin is OK? They are just being difficult.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, they aren't. Flash is external, Flash is commercial product distributed for free, including commercial licenses that it pays for, while Mozilla is open-source and open-source only. And Mozilla accounts for almost 50% of browsers, the hell they can make a stand, and they are doing just that, and they'll more likely force codec duplicity in any video than bend. Please read the articles before we actually debate anything, understand that Flash now is providing 1000 times more 10 times better than HTML5 will provide in 5 years (that much for "armchair benchmarkers", the whole technology behind Flash is light years ahead of HTML5 development schedule), and see that the world isn't changing to any better place. Adobe isn't there because someone forced it there, it's there because it provided what the Web needed better and more consistent than any other.

Plus, let me guess, who will make the best HTML5 developer tools when it actually will be worth anything?

Hmm... Sounds like Adobe.

Why? Because they have the best grounds for it.

I've said from the beginning that the codec problem isn't THE problem. The hurdle is HTML5 being incomplete, poor-performing, nowhere near evolutionary, much less revolutionary, and not providing anything useful but complication. And with that, unfortunately, it has enough corporate interests behind it to get pushed to further screw the Web for developers and users alike. So we might as well get ready for it. Oh well, the good news about it is that it makes Flash improve.

With that, I humbly surrender this thread, leaving enough links for people to read and think about, and go try to stuff some more apps into my Nexus.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XITruthiX:
I just snagged 2 apps that if they actually work would be really cool. Both use speaker frequencies we can hear and not hear. Anti-Bug emits sounds to repel atleast mosquitos etc. and dog whistle emits sounds dogs respond to. Both have varying frequencies, most of which I can actually hear in the worst way with dog whistle. Im gonna try'n test these as best I can, Id love some help if you guys have dogs (or live amongst the worst mosquitos ever)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XITruthiX:
forgot to mention, for the dog whistle app the touch orientation is off, tap just above the whistle to activate. At 8000khz you should clearly hear the tone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] huggs:
I have the dog whiste one, my sister was askin me about dog whistles because she has a puppy. So I searched one of the freeware sites, found it, and tried it out on the puppy. The upper frequencies beyond human hearing definitely work, the dog definitely noticed it. Just wish it was louder, could use it to call the dog in from outside. Never seen the mosquito one before, but I'm gonna try it out this summer, could be a very handy app if it works. Imagine being able to be outside while everybody is getting ate up and the mosquitos wont even come near you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dik23:
I've read that producing high frequency sounds to repel insects doesn't work. Can anyone here tell me otherwise ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XITruthiX:
The dog whistle works definately. Tested My 2 dogs, my gfs dog, and my friends cat. All respond to different frequencies.

couldnt test the anti bug, little too cold last nite, today seems like its gonna be buggy, will test
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] KW TP:
My neighbor has a dog that leaves my back porch full of fleas, so I'm going to mess with the antibug tonight if they are out and report back.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rk73:
I wonder how the dogs are supposed to react at the sound, do you scare them away or will they follow me? :-)

Good to know before I try it on someones dog...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] shylohmonster:
Oh boy! I'm eager to try this in the field. I conduct field trips as a volunteer naturalist in a local wildlife refuge. (The Great Salt Lake Nature Center at West Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area in Utah). I conduct bird watching tours and nature walks with mostly 4th graders. On these walks we encounter all manner of birds, but I give lessons on the importance the macroinvertibrates that live in the water.

As it happens, Midges and Mosquitos react to specific frequencies. I can't wait to try the antibug app while we're out being pestered by these bugs! Who knows, perhaps these kids'll will learn something and I'll be glad I could use my WinMo device for yet another field experiment. I'll report back with my findings.

We have some invasive fox in the area as well. Hopefully I'll get a reaction with the wistle too. Yay

Thanks!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kierandill:
Apparently not

http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/403/do-ultrasonic-bug-repellers-work

My dad has an annoying device in his attic that apparently does drive away squirrels.

I had a high-pitch squealing drive me away, once, but then it went away after the divorce....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] huggs:
Same problem here. Thinking of playin the dog whistle app thru my home stereo at high volume. It should in theory keep my ex away from the house, since technically a ***** is just a female dog. Will report back with results
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] XITruthiX:
Haaahahaha!!! Next time instead of getting a divorce, find some broad you dont like and buy her a house!

The Dog whistle doesnt necessarily scare them away it just gets a response which seems to vary at frequency and breed.

Havent had a buggy enough day to play with the anti bug yet but there seems to be mixed ideas as to whether it even works at all, love to see if we can get some practical feedback
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
Careful everybody....if we actually validate the ability of this app to keep away unwanted family members (especially former ones), the developer will have such a hit on his hands that he'll be a fool not to start charging for it :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Putra:
Hahaha, u guys made me LOL....

But seriously, the anti bug software does not work. I was having lunch yesterday and saw a mosquito land near my plate. I launched the prog and brought my phone slowly towards it. I selected all 3 variations and even set it at 1m and 5m. I also flipped it around in case the high freq sound it's supposed to be emitting comes from the front speakers.

The phone was about 5cm away from the mosquito and it didn't even flinch. I finally reached out and squashed it with my fingers...
[HD2 General] pastorhur:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[HD2 General] briguydj32:
ya... and? it's called being throttled... 10gb in a month, really? how much porn are you downloading lol. anyway, they andother carriers will do this to free up bandwidth for moderate users ....and its still unlimited because you're not being charged any "overage"
[HD2 General] speoples20:
10 gigs is a lot of data, especially on a cell phone. I 'm on the web all the time and don't even come close. And I use Slacker a lot as well. THe only thing I don't really do is tether so I guess that could boost your data but still 10 gigs is a lot.
[HD2 General] goldt:
My Comcast has 250gb limit, i don't agree with it but they all do it.
[HD2 General] MikeASU09:
Find yourself a hotspot and enable wifi. Half the time it's faster than 3G anyway.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
what are you saying? it's perfect! Other companies let you go past their puny 2-5 GB/month data limit and then charge you huge overages or cut you off completely from data. With T-Mo you don't get charged extra, 10GB is a lot for a month, and when you go over you can still use data, albeit slowly, so you still receive those tweets.

Best company ever, man
[HD2 General] AllTheWay:
I have seen somebody use over 20gb a month on there iPhone and was not sent a message from AT&T or had to pay any overage charger or be forced to have a reduced bandwidth. It's truly unlimited Internet.
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
Throttling is a common practice with most providers. Tethering though, believe it or not, is actually against your T-mobile terms of use...and if you reached 10gb's of data without tethering you need to go outside lol. So...if you were tethering, you shouldn't be complaining that they put a cap on internet to prevent you from overusing a system illicitly. They could just claim breach of your contract lol...though I've never seen it done before...
[HD2 General] fishwiz45:
when did tethering become"against terms of use "I remember back in the day calling up customer care and they walked me through the tethering process. I had the 3.99tzones hack and was happily using edge to stream internet radio as tmo was and is stil lmy only isp.:D nowadays netflix streams fine over 3g on the 9.99 web2go...I don't think I've ever been throttled haha! (sounds funny) I don't kno what my data usage is though...
[HD2 General] agentaaron:
Geez...I tether everyday, and its myself and 2 other individuals who use my connection. Plus normal web browsing and pandora on my HD2 on almost a daily basis and I have never come close to the 10Gig limit.

...the fact is, even thought they throttle you after 10gigs (which is an absurd amount anyhow) you can still access the web from your phone right? So since you still have an active connection that means its still unlimited...they are just not allowing you to continue to download torrents or use your phone as your home ISP replacement for the rest of the month.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Tethering is not against Tmobiles TOS. You can find step by step guides on their forums on how to tether with wimo and blackberry. The only one it doesnt support but isnt against your TOS is android because you have to root your phone which voids the warranty.
[HD2 General] atlp99:
Tethering IS against you TOS

Tethering any 3G phone is explicitly against the terms and conditions of you service agreement with T-Mobile. Tethering was never explicitly allowed by the terms and conditions, but it was not actively monitored by T-mobile. Since edge speeds and low data usage were not likely to cause network issues, T-mobile unofficially supported it. This is the same as the way you can call T-mobile tech support for assistance with an unlocked iPhone.

3G tethering is explicitly against the TOS and is actively being shut down, I have had a hand full of customers come in to the store when their tethering was blocked since it began a couple of months back.
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
Those of you who think that tethering is permitted, had better read your terms of service again...your sorely mistaken:

Here is the current TOS: http://www.t-mobile.com/Templates/P...&PAsset=Ftr_Ftr_TermsAndConditions&print=true

Section 29: Subsection 1: (near the bottom of the page)

1. Permissible and Prohibited Uses

Your Data Plan is intended for Web browsing, messaging, and similar activities on your device and not on any other equipment. Unless explicitly permitted by your Data Plan, other uses, including for example, tethering your device to a personal computer or other hardware, are not permitted.

Subsection 2 covers throttling and the fact that if you do tether they can suspend or cancel your account.

So since when has it been against TOS? Since as long as I can remember LOL. And if it wasn't back in the day...it is now.

The TOS should really be stickied so that people don't think it's okay.
[HD2 General] SEscobedo:
Are you seriously complaining about getting throttled after using over 10gb of data??? Grow the eff up and stop using your cellphone as your internet connection to you computer. Tethering was meant for mobile users to have access to the internet while they were away from available WAPs. It wasn't meant for some 40 year old virgin to download porn all day. ******.

[highlight]Mod Edit: No Need for Insulting. Play Nice[/highlight]
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
I have to totally agree with you...LOLOLOLOL
[HD2 General] spencer911:
+1 there... LOL
[HD2 General] SnakePool:
While I was at the Tmo store getting a new sim card I happened to ask the guy helping if tethering was allowed. He said it was as long as the phone supported it and you didn't go over the 10gb limit. My wife has been tethering her winmo phone for 2 years now and they have never said anything to us. although she's not downloading porn all day she does use it when she goes over to a friend's house that doesn't have internet. That being said, I don't doubt that it is against TOS but I doubt they will say anything as long as your not over stepping your boundaries.
[HD2 General] N1M1TZ:
So basically it is up to TMOBILE to take (or not to take) actions if you exceed your allowed usage. Kinda went out of the subject matter a lil bit. I remember the title of this page was - !!!Beware!!!!!T-mobile Data Unlimited plan has Limit

:)
[HD2 General] mingkee:
I have been tethering using T-Mobile internet options for more than 7 years. Since I am considerate, I don't worry anything negative.
[HD2 General] SEscobedo:
I don't mind people tethering whatsoever. What I mind is when people come onto a site dedicated to helping each other out; complaining that they are getting throttled because they are too inconsiderate to realize they are screwing other people over.
[HD2 General] :
Agreed...10gb on a phone...just think that five years ago it would have been almost impossible to do on a cellular connection...now...we have HSPA+ connections that are faster than most users home broadband...LMAO...
[HD2 General] theskillfull1:
The weird thing is, the T-mobile salesman that sold me the HD2, made it a point to text me the CAB file that would allow me to turn my phone into a "router". Basically making it seem like it was fine to "tether". Now I know I'd better not..
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I'd really love to see which cab they're handing out for that, do you still happen to have it on hand?
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
he might be talking about tomcodon wifi cab. i have it on both my tp2 and hd2, works great and sprint or tmobile haven't said anything yet :D!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yeah, I think so too, that's why I wanted to see exactly which one they gave him so I could compare...I'm kinda leery of what comes right from the hands of some tmo store employees and wanted to see if they knew what they were talking about in this case ;)
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
lol, i hear you! we're always told one thing, but charged something else!
[HD2 General] theskillfull1:
Sorry for the delay, I haven't checked in for awhile. The salesman directed me to a forum post on the site mobileunderground (I guess I'm to new to be allowed to post links, sorry), but after installing the upgrade to my HD2 yesterday, it wiped the memory, and so the text he sent me with the exact address is gone.

I have the program on my phone now, and it's just called "Wi-Fi Router"

If I find that post again I can tell you its name, I got quite a bit of good .CAB files from it!
[HD2 General] theskillfull1:
Found the place that has the router file.

mobileunderground.info/showthread.php?t=704

At the bottom of the first post there is a cab file "Wifi sharing"

There ya go :)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Thanks for the follow up!

For anybody who cares, it does turn out that the cab at that site (which is the one the Tmo rep referred him to) is an exact match for the one mr8820 posted above, just cabbed up by somebody else.
