It's very simple. As long as you stay on the Sprint network, 3g is unlimited - but the speed will be throttled down once you pass 5 gb (you don't lose data access, ergo no limit). They never claim "unlimited data at full speed," which would garner a lot more complaints from areas where the speed ALWAYS sucks.

4g does not get throttled, but again, they make no guarantees about the speed.

Sprint has to pay for our use of their competitors' networks, which is why they CAN'T allow unlimited data while roaming. They can't afford it, especially when you consider the fact that ALL of the major competitors have gone to limited, tiered data plans. In fact, even if Sprint could afford their competitors' prices, those competitors wouldn't allow their competitor's (Sprint's) customers to choke out the bandwidth that would otherwise (and should) be used by their own customers.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
There is no proof sprint throttles at 5gb. I think your thinking of tmobile.
[Epic 4G General] darksideauto:
Its not fair to assume someone is cheap and won't get home internet. I live in stockton, ia. Here we have no option for internet unless you were grandfathered into the new telecom that bought the old one. I could get dial-up but during my peak usage around 6pm-2am I get around 300kbps-1100kbps on 3g. I don't feel the need to pay an extra $35 a month for 56kbps internet.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Same here.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Except for the terms and conditions... Yeah, I actually read them once...

And T-Mo doesn't *throttle* last I heard, they *stop* at whatever your tier is... (okay, so they could also throttle at some point... But no, I know what I am thinking about, I'm kinda the authority on what I'm thinking, since that process happens in my head and no one else's...)
[Epic 4G General] searchfirst:
mobile hotspot and connection cards will start caps 3g and 4g at 5gb per month, then overage, your start seeing the notices.

phones are unlimited, and for the time being will remain.

previously hotspot was unlimited 3g and 4g and connection card were 5gb on 3g and unlimited on 4g,

They are bringing hotspot and connection in the same bucket and will start charging overage after a combined 5gb.
[Epic 4G General] culua:
I used over 6gig+ of data a month my bill doesnt increase its always the same.
[Epic 4G General] Jeremy6820:
I don't roam, so that isn't the issue. And, where I live, the only internet service available is dialup, which is horribly slow. But I used to tether with previous phones, and got no where near the amount of data I'm using now. I'm using the phone itself a lot more. I paid for a better phone, I pay for the service, so I shouldn't have to cut down how much I use my phone.

http://www.examiner.com/technology-...ll-keep-unlimited-data-plans-but-for-how-long

although sprint reserves the right to throttle your data, they never have. they even advertise that they DO NOT and i quote "meter or throttle" data. it is a direct quote from the ceo, mr authority.

on an unrelated note, does anyone else think the t-mo girl is vomit inducingly skinny? i hate her knobby knees. ewww.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Do you?

My information may be innaccurate (or outdated, in regards to Sprint's throttling policy), but I don't recall claiming it to be correct or current. That's why I said that I read the TOC *once*, as in, at some point prior to this moment. This phrasing has basically always implied some time well into the past (otherwise, a more descriptive term like, "last week," or "last month," would be used). And I also said, "from what I'd heard," regarding T-Mo's policy, which is to say that I won't vouch for the credibility of the sources I'd heard it from, because I don't know if they knew what they were talking about.
[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
Yeah she nasty
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Same here also. I have 5 Android phones on my plan, 4 of which have the "premium data" charge even the Moment because it went from one line to another two months ago. The only one without it is my wife's Replenish. Never throttled, never been sent a notice of crazy usage and I use 10GB a month on my phone alone. Family Everything Plan is not capped and Moments do get the premium charge if you activate one now.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Um... regardless, I'm still the best person to ask, if anyone would like to know what I was *thinking* about. We don't have any proven method of reading minds, so it is physically impossible for anyone else to know what I am thinking about better than me. If you read very carefully, you'll realize I wasn't claiming to be the authority on anything other than what thoughts were going through my head - they're my thoughts, in my head. Is it really that complicated?

Besides, there have been people who have posted that their data was suddenly drastically slower, and there have also been many cases in history in which corporations have denied things that, it was later revealed, had actually occurred. A quote from the CEO really only proves that he recognizes that his customers don't want to be throttled, but whether or not it actually happens - that could go either way. Some evidence suggests that he may have been lying, but it is also possible that those who experienced a data slowdown may have had a completely different issue, even if it did coincide with heavy usage prior to the speed drop. The only entity that knows for sure is Sprint.

For the record, I'm NOT wrong - I did, in fact, hear what I heard about T-Mo. Were you there with me when I heard it? (rhetorical question, none of you were.)

What I heard, now that's another story - it appears that it is wrong. But how is it my fault if someone else (or several people, as the case may be) spouted false information in my presence? I was careful to say that it was what I heard, with the goal of not misleading anyone into thinking that I was claiming to have any proof.

I'm very sorry that you have difficulty reading above an elementary school level, I'm sure it must cause you great frustration in your everyday life. I'll try to do a better job of writing at your level to avoid confusion in the future... But there is only so much that can be said by rearranging the words from "See Spot."
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Ok... I laughed at your previous posts in this thread about what you were THINKING punctuated with the little stabs at those that misunderstood. However, I think this last post was rude. It just went too far at the end. I'm not a mod or anything, but there is a thing called decorum. For those who aren't familiar with the term:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dkcldark:
1. Usage

./editor.sh [place where the kernel is] [ place where your ramdisk is]

### you must let editor.sh know where your cross compiler is.

open "editor.sh" and edit COMPILER

2. Example

./editor.sh /home/zero/Desktop/test/zImage /home/zero/Desktop/test/my_initramfs.cpio

3. Info

- can not use an initramfs which is bigger than the stock initramfs.cpio's size

>> for instance, stock JM8's got an "initramfs.cpio" which is 3.4MB.

you can use reasonably bigger initramfs by gzipping the initramfs.cpio ->> initramfs.cpio.gz

this process reduces the initramfs.cpio's size but still can't use if initramfs.cpio.gz is bigger than 3.4MB

(this means that if a kernel already has gzipped initramfs, it is difficult to make it. you may want to remove something in order to have more room.)

- you can choose either your_initramfs.cpio or your_initramfs.cpio.gz

(this script compresses the ***.cpio if this is bigger than the stock.)

Any reason you now have TWO threads about this subject ? (Or: why not edit / add to your other thread about this ?)

Also, I have a toolset to do all this on Windoze without Linux and compilers... I used it to build the JPH root, but haven't tested it on enough kernels yet to consider it stable and publicly release it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] _JKay_:
Hi,

I have tried these scripts on i9000WXJPA and '070701' is found 60 times and 'TRAILER!!!' is found 2 times! I find it a bit risky to assume that the first match is the right one!! z4ziggy's script doesn't even contain the -m 1 so I guess he believes there will always just be one entry!! There must be a safer way to extract initramfs from a zImage. Doesn't the header contain the exact entries where to find the partitions?

Thanks

JKay

well, obviously you are running a time-bombed beta rom, if you still can, you should backup all pim data and data stored on the device and flash a newer rom.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As per above post, the rom you were using had a time-bomb embedded in it as it was most likely a beta version. Good news is that all you have to do is flash a different rom. Bad news is, if you didn't backup previously, you ma have lost your data, contacts etc. See if you can back these up if you hadn't already then flash a new rom

I got the OTA update today and it failed (phone was rooted). CheckedOnce it rebooted I tried the 3 button combo to get into recovery and it worked. As well as going into DL mode using USB. Hopefully this will fix others who could only get into recovery and dl mode using ADB. Also, even though it "failed" it did update to JH7. haven't checked GPS....
[Captivate General] C3P0LOL:
Same for me.
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
I got the same results as you but my GPS is still terrible.
[Captivate General] DKirk:
Rooted and Lag fix installed. Update "failed" but seems to have installed JH7 (no new apps though). I get a GPS lock indoors now, something that has never happened before but a 40 minute drive in the car today yielded no locks ever, even after two reboots. It seems like it may have helped in one regard but dang, driving around in a convertible for 40 minutes should have gotten a GPS lock.

The three button recover mode worked the first time I tried it after the JH7 install. Before today I spent easily an hour+ trying every key combination documented and I never once saw recover. After the update I hit recovery on the first attempt, cool fix that wasn't even documented officially.
[Captivate General] psyopstt:
I'm getting the same results. I've spent countless hours googling and trying every key com possible trying to get into recover mode prior to the OTA update and nothing worked. Last night i checked to see if the update is available for my phone and it was. The phone downloaded everything without a problem, it rebooted and pooped out at 50%. After reading this post I tried the 3 finger salute and like you guys i got it to work.

When you guys check the baseband version did it change? There were reports of failed updates but baseband version changed. (mine didn't)
[Captivate General] n19htmare:
I did the root when I got the phone. I cancelled the original OTA update for reasons I don't know.

then I tried 3 button combo and IT DIDN'T WORK!

I tried to do the update again and kept getting communications error :(.

I tried to flash the JH7 ROM, that still didn't fix it.

Used Odin3 to go back to stock and try to update, this time it downloaded the update but crashed at 50%, JH7 never installed (said JM6 in about). But low an behold, that 50% somehow fixed the 3 buttom combo!

went back and flashed Cog 2.1 and 3 button still works!!!

Just thought I'd make a quick post as I haven't seen much dicussion on Subsonic. I have Subsonic installed on my server with about 100+ Gigs of music.

I installed Subsonic for android on my 4G today and connected it to my server. Setup was easy. Works great. 100Gigs of music in my pocket anywhere I get a cell connection! Connect to the aux in the car for 34 days of commercial free music.

What's not to like!! :D
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. Subsonic is simply amazing.

Install software on your desktop PC to set up web access to your music. You get a very nice web interface. And an Android app.

[EVO 4G General] cavediver:
I'm also using Subsonic and really enjoy it. I had a little trouble initially with the server side setup, but once I figured it out and got a connection to my EVO, it's worked great for the most part. I do have an occasional pause in the playback, but I think that's more related to signal strength than anything else, because it always starts back up where it paused.
[EVO 4G General] GaryJ51:
We also had Subsonic set up to stream movies a while back. A soon as I get some time I'm gonna try and see if I can use it to stream video to the EVO.

I was a frustrated HP Media Smart Home Server user who finally gave up on the HP crapware, and went the DIY WHS route. That's what led me to Subsonic as a substitute for the HP software.

A way better choice. This program actually works without tying up the server doing indexes and hogging CPU cycles like the HP Twonky Media software did.

Access to your entire music library, and it doesn't even store anything on the SD card!

[EVO 4G General] GaryJ51:

[EVO 4G General] scl23enn4m3:
Wait, so how does that work...I'm going to check their website to see if I can reformulate this post with an actual question lol.

EDIT: OK, I think I phrased the initial question wrong. Would the experience of picking a song be similar to using any other music app as if music was stored locally? I'm not going to have anything on the phone, everything will be streamed.

EDIT2: Ignore what I said up there, here are some screen shots and video of the UI: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/screenshots.jsp

Does the app work in landscape mode?
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
Ok guys, you can download the Subsonic app from the Market and connect to their "test" server to see how the app works.

It works in the landscape mode. Has no widget, unfortunately. But song/file browsing, and playback is VERY functional.

If you need help installing this on the desktop side, read this: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/installation.jsp

You should note that while the desktop app is 100% free, the use of mobile apps is limited to 30 days at which point you have to "donate". The donation can be any amount, and you will be provided with the unlock key which you use inside the web interface of your server.

Thanks for the link!

We had video streaming set up to our laptops, but hadn't tried setting it up on the cell phones yet.

I turn over all the details to my 15 yr old who is much faster than I am at doing all the setup. We'll get started once he gets a break at school.

We did have it set up to open whatever Media Player we wanted to use. If my son remembers what he did I'll try to get him to post the instructions.
[EVO 4G General] hungry ghandi:
Should be no need to play it in an external player on the evo - just switch to landscape and it will go to full screen. If you really want play it in an external player, FLV player (from the market) might work. Or if you want to download the video before playing (so you don't get any skipping while you're on 3G), you can download the file from either the app or the web interface, and play it with FLV Player.

Subsonic wants you to make a donation of 10 Euros to continue using the subdomain they have you sign up for during setup. But if you like rolling your own, sign up for a free subdomain an use a DNS updater (built in to some routers or available for any platform) to make sure the reference to your IP stays up-to-date.

I have been using Subsonic for about a month now and I have never figured out how to stream my music without it actually being downloaded to my SD card. Technically it's not really streaming (like "Gmote" does, for example) but just playing songs while they're downloading.

I know that there are 2 buttons at the bottom of the list of selected songs that say "Save on phone" and "Delete from phone". Once I hit play, it downloads the songs no matter what I do. I've been all over the Subsonic forum but never found an answer.

My other peeve is that I have to press play and then pause and wait for the first song (at least) to download. Otherwise it will just stop and start the song over again.

I really like this app (I donated too) and it's become my main music app. I just get tired of having to clean out my sd card. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
"Cloud" storage != streaming from your local machine. You are uploading your songs to their servers before streaming the tunes.

AudioGalaxy and similar services like to downsample your files while streaming, thus lowering the audio quality. Also, LOL @ only supporting MP3 and AAC. And also, I believe my own machine will have better uptime than a service that is still in beta stage. So, what makes AG "way better"?

And how is installing a program and configuring ports "too much work?

EDIT: By the way, you want ads in your OWN music? "Once the introductory promotional period expires you may purchase Audiogalaxy Gold (available as in-app purchase) which gives you uninterrupted access to your music. Users who haven't purchased Audiogalaxy Gold might be occasionally interrupted (with ads, etc) but will still have access to unlimited free streaming music"
