[Vibrant General] nosoapradio:
Hello,

I just booked a gig for two weeks in Rome (Italy not Georgia) and I was looking for suggestions on the best way to use my Vibrant while outside of the US. My phone is sock, not rooted.

Should I try to unlock it with the process detailed on this forum last week and buy an Italian SIM card? If so, will data work over there (email is important)?

Should I call TMobile and let them know I'm traveling abroad and see if they have a temporary Intl plan?

Sorry for such a basic question, I've just read so many stories of people coming back from trips with their smartphones and getting a $4,000 bill from their wireless company.

Any information/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

NSR
[Vibrant General] MV10:
I travel outside the US quite a lot, and unfortunately that's about to increase significantly for me (though most of my trepidation is related to the god-awful airlines and hours of dealing with the bad joke that passes for airport security).

Bottom line: unlock it and get a SIM card that works at your destination (probably pre-paid).

It can be difficult to find these with a data plan that is any good. Plan to spend a lot of time doing a lot of research. It probably won't be cheap. Also, spend some time to understand exactly how much data you actually use, and decide whether that is likely to increase or decrease while you're traveling, and be realistic about it. In some places I've found it's cheaper and easier to rent an entire phone that has a data plan, then just yank the SIM while I'm traveling. Be sure you understand the different types of networks and bands, not all countries are playing by the same rules. (Some parts of Eastern Europe can be downright dismal.)

Under no circumstances do you want to use your phone with your US carrier's international roaming. I bought my G1 shortly before a two week trip to Tokyo, and after a great deal of time on the phone with T-Mobile and a lot of thinking about how I use my device -- and I'm probably just a mid-level data consumer -- I calculated data roaming would cost me about $550 per week. Add my wife to the mix and we were looking at a roughly $2200 bill just for frigging data. I could almost double the length of my trip for that much.

Europe isn't quite that rough, but it's still indefensibly expensive. (Not relevant to you, but worst of all, Japan flat out sucks for mobile phone use by foreign visitors and even visa holders. Which seems pretty ironic.)

International data roaming plans are one of the biggest scams the carriers have going today. "Gouging" is too polite a word for the crap they pull to shoot you a simple wireless signal. Though I gather most of the blame lies with the foreign carriers (and maybe the reverse is true when traveling in the US, I wouldn't know). In any case: Tread carefully.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
^^^^ I agree.

I am in the same process right now but researching travel to UK. I definitely plan on unlocking and getting a UK sim. Some UK pay as you go plans offer 50MB/day for reasonable rates. Europe providers can say "unlimited data" but check their fair usage policies, unlimited is anything but.
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
When I traveled to Europe last spring, I bought a pre-paid Vodafone SIM card for like 25 Euros in Germany (with some pre-paid minutes), popped it in my unlocked phone, and went with it through Germany, Belgium, France and Eastern Europe. All incoming calls are free, all calls to Vodafone customers (all my friends in Europe are on Vodafone) are free. The data was included.

When I traveled to my home country in Eastern Europe I used local providers pre-paid SIM's - again all incoming calls are free, in carrier calls are free, I don't think I had data though.
[Vibrant General] SugarMouth:
Be careful to set your phone to not run data when roaming! I forgot to with my G1 and when in Taiwan I turned on my phone to get to the data menu and turn it off. That costs me $6 in data in 20 seconds!
[Vibrant General] kmfisher:
I just did this for the Netherlands. Get Tmo to unlock the SIM, and get a SIM card with data. I didn't have data and I wish I did so I could have used it for maps. Calls were easy though.

Also, definitely turn off data roaming as a setting or you will get hosed.
[Vibrant General] MinosDis:
One option for data use I found to be satisfactory was free hotspots. If your out and about frequently, many cafes, malls and pubs have fre hotspots. Make sure you turn data roaming off, however.
[Vibrant General] cashless:
I can't agree there. Not that this is directly related to the topic, but every phone or SIM I've rented in Japan came with %100 free incoming calls from any location (which is all I ever needed) and relatively unlimited data options.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] richtermo:
Hi

I fish alot and have been looking for an application for my P3600 (wm6) where I can save all data regarding a catch. I havn´t found anything that suits my needs and I now post it here in hope that one of you great programmers might like to take on the challege ;)

What should the app do ?

*If I take a picture of a fish I want the program asking me to input the weight, length and what bait was used.

*I want the program to save: date, time, weather, moon-phase, weight, length, lure/bait and position via gps together with the picture in a database.

*If it´s possible, it would be great if the app also worked as a gps-plotter. Showing my position on a map and giving me the possibility of making waypoints, and showing previous catches as waypoints.

So, who´s up for some problem-solving ???

Best regards // Richtermo

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tms02:
I agree... Swype rocks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaarry:
Swype is good, but not for typing fake words.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordPrefect:
All I can say is, that the 10$ I spent for SlideIT was one of the best invests I ever made :-) As I am writing messages in both German and English, SlideIT for me was the best solution. Switching languages and having separate user dictionaries is very easy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexboy:
For me it works ok, ive taught it many abbreviated words, the dictionary learns relatively well
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rexboy:
Agreed, i alternate between Swype (currently v2.0 as is faster than 3.9) and SlideIT all the time, both are so good but from a langauage point of view, SlideIT wins for sure.

Also takes up alot less memory vs Swype. Also has the cool features of having the SIP built in and the abbreviations that you can teach it. I just type a few letters and my saved passwords type which is cool. Just a shame there are on skins out there as it does look crap lol.

I find it does often type faster as you dont have to double swoop around repeated letters etc but when letters in a work are close to eachtoher, sometimes SlideIT just doesnt get it, then i use Swype and it types it no probs.

Apparently SlideIT 4.1.0.3 is to be upgraded soon but ive been hearing that for a while lol.

Well i had to re flash my froyo today cuz of some issues i was having with my wifi. (but i think it was cuz i was messing around with lag fix..) so yes..what i did was to flash to JM6 (because even after restoring from factory on froyo I still kept getting wifi issues saying..attempting to connect to wifi obtaining IP address..) but it never got the ip address.

So then i went to apply the reg mod

as per http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=769400

well when i did that...i didnt get JPC but JM1 :-o

so...yes it looks like we made too much of a noise that Samsung has pull the plug .

so am thinking to flash to JM7 and just wait ...only 28 days left!..:eek:

Hello XDA user,

thx for this great forum, which allowed me to find answers on nearly every question I had!

Now I have a question I didn't find an answer until now:

under "Wireless and Networks>synchronise" (last option) in the stock JPC firmware one can find the possibility to set up a profile for syncing with a server. Because I'am having an own server at home I want to use this possibility to sync my contakts, calender and memo's as suggested in that dialog. My question ist, what serversoftware do I need? Which is the protokoll used here? Exchange? SyncML? I tried a funambol server but wasn't successful!

Thanks!

I know that no one will probbly be able to help but i had a TMOUS HTC HD2 and believed that i have bricked this phone.

While i was attempting to have the Core Cell ROM for HD2, everything was going along fine ( i had the black screen with the HTC and the bar on my phone's screen and even the "you hacked it" and "successfully done notifications" ), when all of a sudden, i get the software update failed and the screen with the red,green, blue, and white stripes.

I believe whle performing an HSPL, i picked the 2.08 HSPL. don't know if that had anything to do with it and also the phone is heating up.

So give me the bad news, fellas, i'm screwed, right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaarry:
Naw man. You're fine. Take the battery out, and restart, then flash the ROM. The Red, Green, Blue, White screen is called the Bootloader, it comes on when flashing new stuff onto the phone. You NEED HSPL, so you DON'T brick your phone haha.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjones9902:
thanks for the quick reply, dude. but because i'm such an idiot i may need some help here. when the battery is out and you say restart, what exactly do you mean?!? i've taken the battery out, tried performing a factory reset and still wind up with the bootloader screen. i know and sorry for being stupid but any help you can give me would be appreciated.

Since you have the bootloader have you tried going ahead and flashing a new ROM and Radio?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
he meant simply take your battery out, put it back in and boot up.

if you can get to bootloader you can 1- install hspl and then 2- install a new rom. when you go to bootloader, does it say 2.08hspl or 2.080000?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] act-xda:
I have always been one to keep my OS and apps up-to-date, even using custom ROMs on my pre-Android, Windows Mobile devices. Right now I have the latest official ROM installed, but would like to apply/install some of the nifty things rooted phones can eg. SetCPU, Titanium Backup, etc. Now here's the newbie/naive question. Why doesn't the Android OS come pre-rooted? If we want to mess around with our phones and potentially turn them into expensive paperweights then that should be our decision. To me, going root seems to be a choice tricky to go to and difficult to return from, and one that disallows future "official" updates. Damned if I do... damned if I don't syndrome. Do the benefits so greatly outnumber the (perceived) risks?

My Hero, and the XDA app, made this post possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
It doesn't come pre-rooted because of the security breaches that would allow. Think about it...

Get universal androot and you can use most of the programs you mentioned. Really simple. Click root and you have root - click unroot and you have a non rooted phone. Couldn't be simpler. You've been reading those out of date guides again ;)

Even from a Custom ROM it's really easy to return. I don't know where you've got your information from but its incorrect or outdated XD

Again, new to Android so security breeches are unknown to me. I fairly regularly modded my WM phone (also HTC) but guess I am wary of the negative responses I read every so often. I am sure though that once I start on this platform there will be no stopping me. Regardless, even something as 'simple' as rooting elicits a number of "oh, I bricked my phone" statements. Mostly, I guess, I am looking for that (maybe not so) gentle push to get me going. Thanks for the responses all the same.

My Hero, and the XDA app, made this post possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
O no - the security breaches are not android specific! If you have root (administrator) access on ANY system it is a security hazard. If someone somehow got access to the system they would also have full admin rights and therefore the ability to do what they like. It doesn't matter whether its Windows 7, Windows phone, PalmPre, Blackberry, iPhone - the reason phones don't come with root access is because it would make that phone a target for hackers. Also most people (like yourself) clearly don't understand what root access means. AFAIK there have been no major android security breaches - its meant to be one of the most secure platforms but it is at least partly because root access is not allowed by standard that it is so secure. For this reason modding your WM phone is just as risky (if not more) as doing it on Android - just no-one mentions the security aspects of it.

Rant over. Hopefully you understand a little bit more about what you're doing when you get root access now. In order to do so and start tinkering with your system there is a guide here for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645253

Oddly enough I did administrate a UNIX network years ago, and not that long ago a Windows 2000 server environment. Stupidly I am now realising the similarities and connections. A light just went on... of course, root. Unix prided itself on security, and a superuser (like I was) is king. "Rooting" (the word) used here just didn't seem the same. But what you are also saying is that the phones can be compromised from external sources, like any network? And/or via malicious software granted root access?

Android has it's own user account control system in the form of the superuser prompt.

But it's easy to bypass If you're clever, although with universal androot, everyone should be careful what they do on non rooted handsets too.

Is there anyway for this to happen automatically like as sn as i boot my laptop,HD2 connects to it via bluetooth and both "Bluetooth Networking" and "ActiveSync" are connected automatically?

Hi all!

I want try 2.1 on my DE Dell Streak. The problem is, that i can not write any (!!!) recovery. I have rooted the device with universal root and my build is 6267. If i try to write the recovery with fastboot it says "Okay" but whenever i press the up+down volume buttons i see only the old recovery.

Any ideas?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radddogg:
What recovery are you using? If its clockworkmod then it looks like the standard recovery but you have to select option 2 - update software with update.pkg - press the camera button and it will go into the clockwork mod recovery.
[Streak 5 Android Development] crazy cat:
I tried the the ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.1

Does it realy looks like the standard recovery?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radddogg:
No it looks like clockwokmod recovery but to get into it you have to go through the stock recovery. Just do as I said and the screen should go blank for a few seconds then the clockworkmod recovery should appear.
[Streak 5 Android Development] Radddogg:
What I mean is the stock recovery loads up then you select option 2 and it then loads up clockworkmod, so it looks at first like it has not worked. I flashed mine three times before someone pointed this out to me.
