[Captivate General] Fortune090:
I'm good friends with a manager from an AT&T store, and yes, it will change, unfortunately, even if you got the Vibrant... Had to ask him pretty much the same question for a friend of mine, and they manage to see that you have a data/smart phone pretty quick.
[Captivate General] chirantan.f:
yeah that is true, clocking 200MB on EDGE is not that probable, but that is my deciding factor. if i can get unlimited 3G on captivate (i guess AT&T no longer has an unlimited plan) then i would go for captivate else i would go for Vibrant, as vibrant is better in many aspects than captivate, especially less bloatware and more useful apps pre-loaded.
[Captivate General] xargs1:
And you can get an unlocked Vibrant?
[Captivate General] chirantan.f:
thats a shame, but then in that case Vibrant is better choice, as having a limited 3G is a pain, and that was the only reason i was going for captivate over vibrant.

and yes there are lots of unlocked vibrants on ebay from pretty reputed sellers.
[Captivate General] pedalmasher:
In my case they didn't. I used my at&t Tilt (Kaiser) on MEdia Net Unlimited for the last two years. I never got switched back to the smartphone data plan or got any sort of nasty note about using too much data.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
I had a unlocked G1 on At&t and after configuring the APNs I had unlimited data for $15 a month. Needless to say there was no 3g but it still worked with no issues.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
If you have an old unlimited data plan, its called grandfathered I think. Anyways, if you have an old smartphone plan it should just stay the same as long its the smartphone, I still had my unlimited plan when I switch from iPhone 3GS to SGS. But I don't know if you have the smartphone unlimited data plan since you mention the 15 dollars one. I would go directly to AT&T cooperate store and speak in person cuz representative on the phone are just dumb! LOL so yeah meeting in person would be good.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
OP doesn't have any smartphone plan to be grandfathered in.
[Captivate General] daverup:
200 MB on EDGE is easy to do on the Captivate. I'm already past that point and I do use Wifi at home.
[Captivate General] chirantan.f:
so from all the posts, i think getting a captivate means i have to pay for smartphone plan, even though i should have an option to cancel the data plans totally (while some forums say that i cant cancel a data plan, but i dont believe thats the case if i have bought the phone at full price and not subsidized).

Now i am interested in seeing what will AT&T do if i go for Vibrant (instead of Captivate) and use the non-smartphone data plan on it. I doubt they will know what is connected as they wont have IMEI for Vibrant (some forums said that AT&T does differentiate their smartphones based on the list of IMEIs) so with Vibrant i should be able to use non-smartphone data-plan, what do you guys think about that?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
AT&T requires ALL smartphones to have data plan regardless how you purchased it. Just ask any Nexus One owners.

Personally, if I'm only getting EDGE speed, I'll not pay any data plan for it. It's like you buy a top of line PC today and put a dialup networking for internet connection.
[XPERIA X1 General] synpax:
Looking around here, I was surprised (but not too surprised) to find someone figured out how to do something that I had earlier been told was impossible: the voice recording without having to use the speaker phone/mic solution.

This made me think:

Can this and other phones be hacked such that you can put in a sim card, have it read and store the sim data, and then allow you to put another sim card in, and then another sim card, so it can be a multi-sim card phone - even without any sim physically inside the phone?

[Desire General] Nitrius:
Is it possible to make facebook only sync with people i already have on the phone? As it is now, it adds anyone in my facebook friends that have added a number to my phone list, would rather have it so that i can manually sync the contacts i have on the phone already, or that it only synced those that already where on the phone, is this possible?
[Desire General] kigo94:
I don't know if it's possible. But in the "Contact" app you can press "Menu" then click on "Display" (i think) and choose which contact's list will appear !

I hope it will help you.
[Desire General] mancuk29:
It makes them disappear from people but not the dialer really Annoying I hoped froyo would have got rid of this issue
[Desire General] DanTehManUK:
theres a setting in Facebook app

Facebook App > Menu Button > Settings > Scroll to bottom > Sync Contacts > pick option
[Desire General] Nitrius:
Yea, that's what am talking about, i know it's possible to not show them in the contacts/people app, but they still show up in the dialer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sxayarath:
Does anyone have a working copy of pdfviewer.apk? I really enjoyed the stock app better than Adobe Reader & BeamReader. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
copy it to your sdcard and run the file from there
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sxayarath:
I tried that. I took the apk off my wife's rooted stock rom but when I try to install the app, it says "application not installed."
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
Okay...give me a bit and I will upload a flashable file
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sxayarath:
Sweet. Thanks a lot!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
Let me know if that works
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sxayarath:
Just had a chance to install the zip this morning. I get a FC right off the bat. I am running CM6 if that's of any help. No worries though...I very much appreciate the effort.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chocmatic:
That could be the reason why. Let me see if I could find a version for that
[Droid Incredible General] parcou:
There are apps like Amazon MP3 and other like Shazam if I purchase the MP3 on my Incredible is it copyrighted just to stay on my device/Incredible? I would like to copy the MP3 to my laptop as well as put it on my wife's ipod...

Pls no legal stuff I am not going to resale the MP3 I just want to add the song on other devices that I own...

So again what protection if any will be on those mp3 that I buy from Amazon or Shazam that would stop me from sharing it on my other devices/PC?

TIA
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
I do it the other way around. I purchase and store on my workstation using a network drive (share throughout the house) and then move what I want to the mobile devices.

I've got a lot more music on the network drive than I would ever put on the mobile.

I move most of the files one at a time as I want them using AndFTP (using SFTP to my server which is the network drive). If I need to move a lot of files, I just plug in and make the sdcard a usb drive.
[Droid Incredible General] mozetti:
From a legal point of view, you'd have to read the terms of use you agreed to when you installed/used the app. I've used the Amazon MP3 store on my PC and I don't think they say anything about only putting the files on one machine.

From a technical point of view, if it is a standard mp3 file then there is no DRM that ties it to a specific device.

In general, I think you're fine in putting the file on whatever device you want.
[Droid Incredible General] buffnutz1:
FYI, the money from downloads and CD sales goes to the record company. Your not hurting the artist. If you really want to support them, touring is where 70% of their money comes from. Think about it, they're paid before the record comes out. Just a little bit of info, take it how you want.
[Droid Incredible General] porky008:
With the amazon app you can put the mp3 on to any other device you want to just like ripping it from an owned cd
[Droid Incredible General] suprdamn:
Google "Tunee music" (it's not on market) and forget about Amazon MP3
[Droid Incredible General] Fretless:
The final answer: Yes you can take the mp3s off the device. they are Mp3's. Totally. I did it today to test.
[Droid Incredible General] zipzoomeroo:
Where are they on my Incredible? What's the path to get to them?

Thanks.

EDIT: found it. Right on the SD card.

Can anyone skin a stock-looking notification bar for these things? ....And maybe give a brief overview on how to apply? :D Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bahnburner:
There is a white-bar metamorph in the Vibrant Themes and Apps forum, but it still has a white clock and white text due to the fact that we don't yet have a de-odexed rom to use to tweak the text color settings.

Baked Snack 9.7 has awesome battery life. WOW!!!!

I love froyo but for now i will stick with 9.7 since battery life is amazing and i also love droid x keyboard. I tried others. Don't like smaller buttons. Need bigger buttons.

66% left with medium use and bluetooth on whole 12 hrs. Still 66% battery left after 12hrs. Wow. Check screenshot for usage, uptime. Judge yourself.

Now if we can get that on froyo 1.1 that would be awesome. Although i'm reading it reboots if volts drop low.
[EVO 4G General] ratmuscle:
Where did you get those screens? Is it an app? What's it called?
[EVO 4G General] wy1d:
Trying to find the name of that app.

Anybody?
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
app is called system monitor its in the market

and yes BS 9.7 is great on the battery
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
It's System Panel. There's a lite version that's only a trial for the graphs, etc.

I think the full version is like $3.
[EVO 4G General] crowebird:
System panel
[EVO 4G General] nslouie:
SystemPanel App / Task Manager
[EVO 4G General] jmlott:
Agreed. BSv9.7 is the best rom I have ever tried for battery life. I miss that now that I'm on Froyo, but I feel quite sure BS will be close to that good again when HTC releases the 2.6.32 kernel source.
[EVO 4G General] jacc1234:
BakedSnack has already released his 2.2 rom and for me the battery life is just as good with 9.7. Its the first froyo rom that actually seems to last.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
opps system panel lol sorrry
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Hero_Over always makes the best ROM battery life wise. Snacks 9.6/9.7 blows everything out of the water. Fresh/CM6 is more popular than Snacks but should not be.
[EVO 4G General] jmlott:
We'll have to agree to disagree here :)

The reason 9.7 is soooo ridiculously good on battery is Hero's custom undervolted kernel. With BS 10 & 11, he didnt have source access to the new kernel and therefore couldnt modify it. In fact, with 11, he just switched to netarchy's kernel... which is good (no disrespect at all to him), but wasnt quite as good on battery life as Hero's eclair version. Like I said though, as soon as he gets his hands on that source, it's a whole new ballgame.

Of course, all of this is my opinion based solely off of my limited testing of the different roms and kernels. YMMV.
[EVO 4G General] kamiller42:
I was preparing to try this ROM by backuping using Titanium Backup. An update in the Market appeared for the app, so I updated. Now TB FC's every time it loads. :mad: Judging by the comments, I am not alone. Do not update your TB.

I'm doing it now wondering if rumors are true fat32 unreadable by slide recovery anyways I'll let ya all know I downloaded my sd to my pc I have partisioned it now to see after moving everything back if its readable
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowmike:
WTF are you talking about.

on FROYO aps2sd are not located on a EXT partition so the phone says hey guy i cant read this mem card theres extra crap (old phones (non smartphone) will do the same and not display contents of sd card because of partitions)

so you must backup your contents and format then restore your contents.

froyo will not work with a ext partition.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virus1x:
I believe you missed everything as for the LOUD WTF it was not needed..

I was seeing if the Rom Managers APPs2sd option where it partitions you microsd to FAT32 to apps2sd in foyo or not and it failed slide apparently can not recoginize a fat32 MICROSD
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migueltherocker:
but the memory card is always FAT32 :confused: you just add an ext2/3/4 partition for apps2sd on pre-froyo ROMs that support it...but there's ALWAYS a FAT32 partition.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Virus1x:
not mine, it was NTFS and only readable as NTFS
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
fail. Android has no NTFS driver, it can not read an NTFS partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markeh:
Hi,

I keep getting this error - Mounted Readonly.... the sd card has an unexpected problem.

I installed the NextSense 3.0 Rom earlier, it worked fine for a while until i installed some apps to the sd card and then this error kept appearing.

I searched for solutions and every one involved removing apps, especially task killer. I have removed everything and the problem persists. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Failing that i'm going to wipe everything and start again, can anyone tell me how to correctly wipe and repartition everything? The instructions I found to partition are:

"Partition SD" SWAP=0, EXT2=512, FAT32=<remaining>

then "SD:ext2 to ext3"

any advice would be great, thanks! ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr1960:
Not sure it's all that helpful, but I had the same problem with ieftm's Official 2.2 ROM. The problem seemed to go away after I connected via USB to my pc and selected the 'Disk Drive' option on selection type on my Desire. After I disconnected, all was good.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mountainjew:
I had this problem also. So i just popped the card in my computer and reformatted it with Gparted (in linux). If you don't use linux, i'm sure you could still format it in windows to fat32, but then you'll need to create an ext partition via the phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markeh:
thanks for the reply, thats what happened when the problem first occured. I had it connected as a disk drive to copy some apps to the sd card and after disconnecting it the error started.

i tried it all again nothing helps :(

grrr i hate taking it out of the silicon case, incase it goes all saggy.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mountainjew:
Like i suggesetd before. Take the card out of the phone and plug it into an sdcard reader and format it that way.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nekromantik:
I had that issue with some of the OTA ROMs apart from Pinky.

Just connect it to pc in disk drive mode and then remove safely in windows and then select charge only and remove cable. should be fine.

I had to format my whole card, the Win7 repair function doesn't work for me...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy792003:
based on my experience, this issue occurs if you don't do reboot after the first boot. so after you install the rom, when it asks you to set the language, reboot your phone again. after that then complete the setup process.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KuRouZu:
not true :)

This happened also to me with ieft ROM. I did a few reboots before this happens to me. I tried some workarounds that people say in this thread with no luck. When connecting the phone to the PC, phone did not give me the option to mount the sdcard like disk drive. In the end, I'm formatted sdcard, deleting ext3 partition.

I'm using ap2sd of Froyo with "Mod Install Location" app from market. And this works fine. I have no problems with space in internal memory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilegend:
the quickest way i solved this problem was to unmount the micro sd card under the SD & phone storage options then remount it again. thats how i solved it, hope it helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbadoo:
Sry, but this function is freezed, it doesn't work. At the moment only repartitioning is working for me. It seems that problem is because of Froyo implementation. Shame

I had the same issue. Copied everything across from the SD Card to a temp folder on my PC (Win 7 x64) then it came up with a copy error from one android.temp file, I skipped it, copied everything, formatted to FAT32 then copied everything back across and the issue was fixed.

Maybe something had locked that file and corrupted it perhaps?

This method worked for me too in Windows 7, was just wondering if it is a ROM problem or Froyo or APP. anyone could advise so we can avoid...?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princessakiki:
When it happened to me it was a corrupted app. I had downloaded an app from a site and put it on my card. I don't think it downloaded all the way, and messed it up. But the way I fixed it was moving apps and formatting the card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCyrus:
I solved this by booting into clockworkmod -> partitions menu ->mount usb storage. then windows popped up offering to fix the sdcard. That did it for me - a few files were moved to FOUND folder and after reboot everything worked as before

Formatting SD card doesn't delete the ext 3 partition does it? I have been having this problem yesterday and today, yesterday i had to format the sd card and everything worked fine afterwards, but the same thing has happened to me again today, so i'm in the middle of formatting once again. The only thing I can think of today is my Music folder..... i have 2 gig of music in a folder and yesterday i didn't put it back onto the SD card (i was going out and didn't have time to do it) so today i have put it back onto the SD card and within 10 mins of doing so i had the "read only" issue Not sure if the music folder was the cause......

The same issue occured on my phone today when I copied some files from my PC to SD.

The simple solution which worked for me is;

Switch off device

Go to recovery by pressing volume down key and power button simultaneously

mount USB from Partition menu

Plug in USB

In windows safely remove your drive

unmount USB

Remove USB cable

Reboot

and you are done :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookamiester:
Something has gone horribly wrong.

I've tried all of the following.

1)Unmounting/Mounting

2)Clearing Dalvik/fixing permissions

3)Disk check and clean up through computer and phone mounted as disk drive

4)Backup, format and replace everything back

Now everytime I just get a new message "Safely remove SDCard", it won't let me mount it again. Removing the card it comes up with "Insert new SD card" this just comes up saying the same again as soon as I put it back in.

I also get a "UID mismatch" or something to that extent on when HTC Sense boots :(

EDIT:I can still see all of my files on SD through CWM Recovery/Install zip from SD

EDIT: Now tried Re-flashing ROM, got bootloops, probably because of mods I made.

Used Nandroid backup from before the mods, booted successfully, still got "safely remove SDCard"

EDIT: Now fixed, had to format SD through phone and add everything back through phone whilst connected to PC...phew

I have A2SD and Leedroid 2.2.2

Any other Ideas?
