And this is why I feel good about not letting my conscience nag me about this. When I pay for "unlimited data" I feel like I can use it however I want. If I wanted to use it to torrent linux ISOs 24/7, I'd feel justified in doing so.

Heck, I wouldn't feel bad about spoofing the Sprint Hotspot app if this phone never got rooted.

Also, OP, you don't need to root your phone to do anything illegal. You can pirate apps easily without root.

Everyone's paying it, but we don't have to be HAPPY about it. I won't have 4g service where I live or work for a year or more (South central Louisiana). I'm happy to get 3g.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pflatlyne:
People need to get this strait. Sprint does not want you tethering without paying them,but who cares. ITS NOT ILLEGAL. Its a matter between you and sprint. Killing your neigbor illegal. So is breaking into his house and stealing his television,or pick pocketing his sprint evo. Hacking your phone to use someone elses account is also illegal. (cloning someones phone) Using an data application that your wireless carrier does not authorize such as using Skype on a T-Mobile phone to avoid paying them for minutes or using a tethering app on your phone is just a violation of the agreement you made with sprint and its a civil matter,not a criminal matter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
you can do illegal things on your phone without root. just saying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p-slim:
Op if we're using "sprints" app you have to pay otherwise it's illegal. Rooting your phone and using stock froyo app or other software to tether is not illegal.

Why would anyone use skype to make calls without paying, it would sound like crap. Why not get the my favs or sprint to home number and add your google number so all calls through google would be free. No wifi needed for google voice.:cool:
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
Has anyone noticed if there wireless disconnects a lot? Then you have to manually turn back on and off to get it working again. Shouldn't the wireless automatically detect a network and connect. Some thing happpens with 3g. Sometimes i Have to manually do the same for3g.

[Streak 5 General] Wizard8125:
Yeah kine does thesame with 2.1 after the sleeps and it wakes wifi doesnt wake, and when i turn it off (wifi) hangs on getting turned off... so i have to power off the phone and power it back on.
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Same here, I had the issue with the iphone. I deduced it was an issue with the router, not letting the phone back on. Although now it seems to be when the mrs uses my old iphone on wifi she steals my ip, so I can't get back on as the steak attempts to connect with the same ip.

I guess the solution is static ip's at home

Could it be something similar for you guys?
[Streak 5 General] Bohemian:
My wifi does the same thing under 1.6 and using a static IP
[Streak 5 General] hyellow:
Same thing here. Thought it was because beta of 2.1, but since someone mentioned it was also present in 1.6 I think we need a proper solution for this. I don't mind if the wifi goes into standby, but I want it to work within 5 or 10 seconds after it comes out of standby. Now you have to disable it and enable it again.
[Streak 5 General] Bohemian:
Has anyone having this problem found a solution?
[Streak 5 General] da_jojo:
set wifi power policy to "never"

set gsm mode to "auto"
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I use wifi lock on my streak 1.6 and that still does not solve the problem. I would like to know if anyone has figured this out. I hate to always have to set to wireless on and off.
[Streak 5 General] schizo:
aha... so i'm not alone..

confirmed the issue with build 6267 (donut), disconnecting issue wifi <-> 3g or 2g <-> 3g. Most of the time the remedy should turn off completely then back on.

hmm... is the new build of eclair or froyo using different (radio) baseband? i guess the baseband version is the culprit...
[Streak 5 General] bashdrew:
for my streak, this is an issue with the router. the wifi behaves well with my old g-router but having trouble re-connecting when i started to use a new n-router.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantcrazy:
Anyone have a short way to disable mobile networks except for WiFi while roaming? I'm taking a trip to the Caribbean, and I would rather use Google Voice and free WiFi than pay Verizon $1.99 a minute. Already have GV set up, just want to know how to disable the other data/voice network connections, or if that's even possible.

Also - if I've got WiFi Tether running in AP mode, can I bridge between my phone and the WiFi provider? The hotel I'm at charges you on a per-device basis (which really sucks), so I figured I'd run WiFi tether and just connect my laptop to the network via cell phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patches152:
wifi on your device only goes one way, you can't use wifi to get data AND transmit data. you're either getting data via wifi, or you're using the network to get data, and transmitting data via wifi. i'm not sure of an option (like on a laptop or pc) which allows ISC (internet sharing)

RE: original question, airplane mode will disable all network connectivity except wifi.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giantcrazy:
Thanks Patches - didn't even try it out, had just assumed that Airplane mode meant all data went off, including WiFi.

Guess the solution to my roaming issue should be to disable roaming on the data side, and just not answer any voice calls that are incoming.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patches152:
find out if google voice works on wifi.

also you'll have to consider sms fees also. i'd suggest contacting your carrier (vzw i assume) and tell them what you have in mind, and ask what charges to expect based on usage. how much for incoming and outgoing calls, txts and data. then approach each category and find possible solutions.

best bet is to pony up and get a prepaid phone for voice and txt charges, and wifi for data use on your android. FYI, you can send email to people's phone numbers. "ten digit number"@"carrier name".com (google to find out specifically the domain per carrier)

i don't travel internationally so i'm not very good at it, but i find prepaid phones are less expensive than the roaming charges, or calling cards.

it says step 4 wipe?

i was on 2.2 i downgraded to 2.1 then did the root...is there any clearer instructions? thanks !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krizno:
Unrevoked isn't correct root look in the sticky topics to root correctly you need to boot into recovery to wipe when you do you select wipe the select dalvic catch and wipe data factory reset then select flash rom select cm then wait until its done then reboot you have installed cm I'll see if I can find I link for rooting

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krizno:
Yes you can should be fine unrevoked isn't full root i.e. root/nand unlock its just root you need nand unlocked so follow the tutorial from the beginning. Its like starting over no biggie the reason it said to use unrevoked because its a root method just not a full root method

So I just reflashed/rerooted my phone to R2BA024 and it worked fine until I tried to update it to R2BA026 with the "UPDATE FROM ROOTED R2BA024 TO ROOTED R2BA026 X10i and X10a Fixed" but after it gives me an exclamation mark?

So?...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Greenycq20:
May be good to try the update again and wait for the phone to reboot
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xGary:
The phone doesn't reboot unless I unplug it. And when it boots it shows the error.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Greenycq20:
the same thing happend to me but all i can remember is that i ran the update again

other wise it is a factory reset with the SE updater and then maybe try the one click root that people are talking about
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Cebees:
I think I posted the solution

/showthread.php?t=758029
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] citsym:
Ensure that you initially plug in the device in normal mode, start the updater, then shut down the phone and initiate the flash mode.

That solution was provided to me by Cebees, when I experienced similar problems.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] will89:
the best solution to this i believe woiuld be using the SEUS to update your x10 to the latest 026 then reroot your phone with the 1 click root apk file.
[EVO 4G General] EVO 4G:
Well, I forgot to read that a kernel was for 2.2 after downgrading from 2.2 and rooting 2.1. I attempted to install the battery baked snacks kernel and now touchscreen is not recognized menu and home buttons etc do not work. The only thing that works is the up and down key and power.

So, Im thinking If I should ROOT my new evo or wait till an easier on/off ROOT!!! Hmm....
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Exactly, it's only bricked once you can't get into the bootloader anymore, and even then there is still a small chance of recovery.
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
Depending on someone's level of experience, having no functionality other than the bootloader screen is bricked. It goes back to the definition of bricked which is simply a loss of function such that the phone is as useless as a brick. It's all semantics and relative to the users level of experience. It all depends on the user's ability to recover the phone.
[EVO 4G General] EVO 4G:
Thanks for the back up sombdy. I agree though its not truely bricked, however at that point in time when it happened it might as well have been a "brick," until I learned that I could mount it through the bootloader and adb push the files I needed to fix it.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Just pushing for a little conservatism, that's all. :) Glad you got things lined up.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I guess I look as the term bricked = dead. If the heart is still beating and there is a chance to get the brain functioning again then it's not dead aka bricked.

I will say I'm glad the OP wasn't bricked and even more so that he/she was able to figure out the problem on their own and fix it. Always feels better when you do it yourself, and makes you feel more adventurous the next time you have to do something.
[EVO 4G General] edufur:
If a person can get the bootloader screen, why wouldn't they just be able to flash stock from there as a last resort?
[EVO 4G General] bigmoogle:
I have to agree. When I bricked my phone it was truly a brick - no power, nada. Just sat there. No lights. No hboot. No white screen.

If you can power on, there's a solution.

CT Scheduler.

It's in the Android Market. Some are reporting that the reboot and shutdown functions do not work. I think their reports were premature. I got it to work, but you have to let it fail a couple of times until it asks for Superuser Permissions (therefore, root is required for this function). Once you select 'Allow', it works fine. Strange, but it works. It's a well designed scheduler. Very straight-forward and easy to use.

Edit: You will also need to have the Superuser Permissions app installed as well in order for the restart and shutdown functions to work.

i have 3 home launchers sony ericsson home , adw launcher and helix launcher so lets say if im using helix launcher as home default does other 2 launcher uses display memory also to drain battery? do they run at background? is it good to have 3 homes? im on fw 026 and rooted and i wana get most out of my battery.
[XPERIA X10 General] mrtim123:
i was in a similar situation.i was running the standard launcher and ADW launcher side by side. im on a rooted 26 also, so i basically thought to myself "if im only using ADW, why not uninstall the standard one" so i did. no problems at all.

the reason i did this was because you could swap between launchers so it kinda made me think that tehy were both running at the same time. Android (and linux based systems in general) are quite clever about system resource management but still - i was not using it so i uninstalled it.

question though, why are you using 3 at the same time? is it just testing and you have not decided on one?
