I wouldn't know either but sometimes phone companies get smart. They somehow got smart with BlackBerry's tether but it was a little different for BB phones than it is for Android phones.

At least I hope they just throttle at the most and they don't add extra charges. I'm a poor college kid as it is >.>....
[G2 and Desire Z General] senone:
They never did anything with the BB's I have had one on TMO and tethered for YEARs no issues slow as F*&k but it worked (internet at work is monitored). They never said anything.

I also wifi tether and use Pdanet now on my shiny G2.

Hi I have the HTC aria and was wondering if you could flash roms onto it using a MAC. And if you couldn't could you from your phone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sitlet:
yes, and yes.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Beeanx:
Hello All, I did a search for this, but couldn't find any answers. I have setCPU, and it seems kind of complicated to overclock my g2, but I really only want it for underclocking. Is it the same process? As of right now, my phone will be rooted, and setCPU says it has superuser permissions, but won't actually undervolt. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gregrunt:
If you want to learn how to overclock the easy way look up blackprince's root and overclock on youtube. As for underclocking, I believe you can just create multiple profiles and set the max speed below the standard 768Mhz.

As you probably know last Month that Samsung pulled-out the froyo Update files of the Samsung Galaxy S from its servers due to Many System Bugs that Made the Android froyo unstable and laggy. And Samsung UK confirmed on its twitter Status that the Froyo Update is Coming on November on its Final Version and to All Network operators and No More Delays...No More pulling-out!!

We Got Some Information that the Release Date of the Galaxy S Froyo update for USA Carriers and UK Carriers is somewhere around 11th November,2010 as a FINAL Release Date. Worldwide release will follow in few days after the Official Release of the Froyo ROM for Samsung Galaxy S, which Means that All Galaxy S users Worldwide (Include Middle-East and Arab gulf users) will get the update on November along with UK,USA Carriers too.

Froyo rolling out in UK Nov 4

So The Update is Coming Finally and NO More Delays AT ALL... More Stable... More Smoother, its a matter of time right Now. As I always say "Waiting for the froyo to come-out, better than waiting for it to load!".

[Fascinate General] Zennmaster:
Hmm. My read of the actual text that Samsung sent out is not actually any different than it was a week or so ago: the i9000 will probably have 2.2 sometime before the end of the month, along with the rest of the UK/Europe. I really don't see anything in the "official" Samsung notice that indicates Verizon, or any other US carrier.

However, since the blog posts cite "Some information" for "somewhere around 11th, November as a FINAL release date" (How's that for ambiguous, "somewhere around", but it's also "FINAL"...), I'll be guardedly optimistic.

Make that HEAVILY GUARDEDLY optimistic...
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Verizon will decide when its released, not Samsung.
[Fascinate General] Kristoferallen:
it says late in November for the carrier branded versions
[Fascinate General] saps:
....Bingo!
[Fascinate General] adianlorenzana:
/sigh
[Fascinate General] TheBadBen:
I don't care. Wait before you flame, please...

I spent the last year with an Omnia, and I tried every possible rom on it until I found the one I liked/could put up with the missing features. It wasn't perfect, but I knew that a sweet android phone was in my upgrade future so I dealt. WinMo has it's flaws, but you can't fault the dev community for everything they did to make an ok device better.

Now here I sit swyping on arguably the best hardware on the market (other Galaxy S offerings aside...) and I have to say I really like it.

Voodoo-ed, de-binged, de-odexed, and de-TouchWizzed is way easier than trying a dozen roms on a weekend and adding .cabs from 100 websites to come up with a phone that still half the time didn't know where my finger was trying to press!

What does FroYo have to offer? Apps that run off the SD card? Flash? Minor, although it is a bit frustrating that by the time we get it, it will just about be time for gingerbread.

Guess I'm trying to say, the best stuff about froyo is going to get too us sooner or later whether VZW or Samsung give it to us or the very talented dev community here makes it happen. News that comes from them isn't why I log in here.

[Fascinate General] Sherwood1:
Ok so I was told 2.2 would be released the other day.... and YES I used the word NINJA. ... I was wrong. But do we gotta keep mentioning NINJAS? ? Hahahahahahaha : )
[Fascinate General] Mageta:
No ninja source? I have my doubts about this info...

As for Froyo, I am excited to have flash, but beyond that, voodoo seems to meet my needs. Sure, you can't get rid of voodoo without performing a animal sacrifice, but it does make my phone smooth and sexy.
[Fascinate General] TheBadBen:
Sorry man, I wasn't trying to pee in your cornflakes, it's just that I have more faith in devs than VZW & Samsung to get us what we want.
[Fascinate General] Kristoferallen:
I don't know about you but I am waiting for my navigation to be fixed. Not to worried about the little extras but the major fixes that are, major.
[Fascinate General] absens:
Quoted from original post 'No More pulling-out!!' That's what she said! Ha Ha...

I'm sorry I couldn't help it. I wont do it again I swear.

Honestly I can't wait to see what magic the dev community creates with Froyo and the Fascinate. My thanks to all of you!!!:D
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Hopefully what happened with all the Droid 1 releases is what will happen here:

Motorola (in this case Samsung) readies a build, gives it to VZW for testing.

VZW takes forever testing it, and either rejects or preps it for release.

The "hopefully" part is that, hopefully, in the meantime, the file gets leaked from the Samsung end and into our hands.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but if that first file didn't leak, Im doubtful that this one will leak early either
[Fascinate General] nitroxeno:
If Verizon decides to sit on the release at least we have US Cellular as a backup. In fact it seems like US Cellular does not waste their time with carrier customizations so they might just push it out the same day they get it from Samsung.
[Fascinate General] SDC_Bolts:
I used to be a US Cellular customer, my wife still is, they will not get in any hurry, I would not count on them for anything.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
You missed the point of the post bud.

Verizon, or any carrier, does NO customizations, they have NO development (read: coding) teams. They don't alter the file they receive from the OEM (in this case Samsung) in ANY WAY. The bloatware you see comes with the build straight out of Samsung's repository, with the specs that Verizon requested. They take their sweet time for a multitude of reasons, and somewhere in that timeframe its held up for internal testing. Each carrier is different, but Verizon is notorious for being an extensive tester, and rejecting builds pretty often.
[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Bloatware that Samsung did not code....VZW did or outsourced. Hence people are arguing with you. You aren't wrong, but neither are you entirely correct.
[Fascinate General] jatilq:
I made this post to give some indication of the progress of Froyo, sadly most people want more or are intent on offering some type of dark cloud.

I know Froyo might not be released on the 11th, but at least we have a legit source of its progress. Hopefully around that time or before we will have a leaked build for testing and or roms (like some other devices). I'm sure thats when the dev section will take off.
[Fascinate General] destroyerbmx:
well if samsung releases it Nov 11, dont they post the source up too, so we could have a modded version running before vzw does anything?
[Fascinate General] dustinface:
I don't think Samsung will release it before Verizon accepts it and begins a roll-out, but hopefully someone leaks it before then
[Fascinate General] SLINC:
Literally: "BING"O
[Fascinate General] Deodexed:
I know now what is coming on the 11th and I dont think it is Froyo! But it is something good I heard!

VZW source

What have you heard is coming on the 11th then?
[Fascinate General] Deodexed:
I would have posted it if I could =)
[Fascinate General] mykebass:
Gingerbread is set to release on the 11th. Part of me wonders if samsung will simply bypass 2.2 but probably wishful thinking
[Fascinate General] spyd3r05:
While it is probably VERY wishful thinking... I hope so too haha...
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Mykebass, while I would love for you to be right....Samsung, do something smart with the software for their best selling phone of all time? Bahahahahahahahahaha
[Fascinate General] PhoenixPath:

[Fascinate General] 313:
Well the galaxy tab does have 2.2 so now we have a galaxy s device on verizon with 2.2.. Perhaps the devs are cooking something up with that.. Either way.. Patience..

There are several sgs devices running 2.2 to my knowledge. All of which means squat for Fascinate users.

the 3 button problem is not the issue

the scary thing is if that seller is selling it because the Internal SD is fried
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lgkahn:
i know that is why i asked him what message when booting.. i was tryng to see f it was just some idiot that ffd up and it just needs a reflash.. but the feeling i get from his playing dumb is that the sd is fried and he knows it and doesnt have a receipt or something or it is hot.. and it is hosed and need to be sent in and he knows it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daemorok:
So, I have a strange issue that it seems no one else has seen.

My Ringtones and Notification sounds will change when the phone is rebooted.

This has been happening since i got the phone. It has happened with every Samsung firmware and it still happens now that I am running Bionix Fusion 1.1

I have even tried moving all the ringtones and notifications that I use into the system sounds folder (/system/media/audio/) in the subfolders for ringtones and notifications using root explorer.

I also tried moving and or renaming the sounds that get used by the phone when it changes the tones.

The strangest thing that has happened so far is that I renamed the battery full notification sound, but I left it in the folder, today when the phone was charged up, the battery full notification played.

any info at all would be appriciated, thanks

[HTC Aria General] bcarruth62:
I currently own the BB 9700 but thinking of returning it before my 30 days are up. I am considering either the HTC Aria or the BB 9780 which is due out shortly. If there are any former BB 9700 users out there who have made the switch I would appreciate your input on your experience with this device, pros and cons. My main needs are good email (Gmail accts), no lag time, good PIM (calendar, to do list etc), good web browsing for he occasional use. A couple of problems that I've seen on the various forums that I've read is the ringtone volume and the inability to use it outdoors very well, as well as low battery life, are these true or just upset users? Thanks for the help with my decision.
[HTC Aria General] Gigamaster89:
How important is typing/battery life to you? The 9700 has the best keyboard/battery life you can find on any phone.

Browsing the web will for sure be better on the Aria however.
[HTC Aria General] bcarruth62:
I have found that I can type very good on most virtual keyboards, playing with my friends Aria I found that I could type good on it. I guess what I am looking for is what can each one do that the other cannot. Just want to make sure that if I do switch to the Aria that I won't be missing a feature found on the Blackberry that doesn't exist on the Android.
[HTC Aria General] sna66:
i had the 9700, and for typing, a harware keyboard definately beats a touch screen keyboard, i liked the 9700, but not the keyboard, so i went back to the 8900, not i got the aria, and i like it wayy better, i think is an all around better phone, better technology, overall better, i like the free google nav and great usable apps, bb has crappy appm and u have to pay for most. i love the size and build of the aria, heres the downside. the keybopard it good, once u get used to it, but it is not a hardware keyboard. The battery life is not great, but the forums have good suggestions, i guess due to the small size you cant expect much, i have chargers every where, but sometimes, like now im at my moms and my battery is almost dead and have no charger. the other drawback, is if it falls, it will most likely break, if u search aria on ebay, there are many on sale with broken screens, you will need a good case for it, i have cases, beacuse i like the small size, i just put a skin on mine. i would definately recommend a switch from bb to android
[HTC Aria General] ChairmanPlow:
Best keyboard I ever typed on was my old Bold 9000. But I'll gladly stick to the Aria, as the web browsing beats the BB by a country mile.
[HTC Aria General] dandrumheller:
I came to the aria from a 9700 as well. The only thing I miss from the 9700 is the insanely good battery life. I could normally get about 40 hours between charges if I wanted to. The aria needs juice nightly, and sometimes during the day as well. However, aria overall speed is much better, browser is IMMENSELY better, google integration is much better. I never really got fast at typing on the 9700 (had it for 9 months) as I have big thumbs. I made many typos, and found it extremely difficult to type on one handed. After having the aria about a week I was faster than on the 9700 using the stock keyboard, and now using swype it is even better. I rarely even use landscape keyboard.

The jorte calendar app is pretty good on android...not quite as good as some of the aftermarket bb options, but better than stock bb.

I haven't figured out how to quite get to the level of customization for notifications I could get on bb, but it is close enough for what I need.

If you do nothing but calendar, email and im, bb is probably better, but android is far and away better as an all around device.

Good luck.
[HTC Aria General] bcarruth62:
Thanks for your input, I'm seriously leaning toward switching but deeply worried about the battery life. I've seen extended batteries on Ebay considering trying those if I get the phone. Also have read several complaints about the incoming call ringtone volume has anyone had this problem or is it just a problem on some handsets.
[HTC Aria General] dexmix:
the extended batteries are junk. they wont last longer then stock batteries, but it would be a good investment having spare batteries, as the battery life on the BB will be an order of magnitude better then the Aria.

I came from the 9700, and I was never that fast at typing... But now i swype faster then i've typed on anything. But i have seen some insanely fast BB typists. I was never one of those.

As far as technology is concerned - the BB has miles better battery life...

And the Aria has Miles better _everything else_
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
battery life on the aria isnt great, but its also not horrible. As long as I remember to charge it at night it never leaves me stranded during the day. And then I'll spot charge it in the car or when i get home. Its definitely not so bad that you cant use your phone or that you're constantly worrying about your battery dying.

I need another Android phone to use here and abroad. The Acer can be bought for a pretty good price through Rogers and Fido. Was wondering if it can be unlocked now.
[Nexus One Accessories] Frito11:
after buying some ceap nuvelli bluetooth headphones only to find out not only did it not work at all (would not power on at all) but they also barely even fit on my head and were not comfortable i returned them and bought the Sony DR-BT100CX's not only because of their price but because i have always loved the silicone padded ear bud style headphones for listening to music, they are of course not good if you need to hear outside sounds because they really do act as ear plugs but this should be known already if your looking into this type of BT headset.

so anyways. i will give these a 4.5 out of 5 rating with possibility for a 5 out of 5

as a nexus one user running CM 6.1 RC1 they work 100% flawlessly with my phone. even the play/pause and track forward/back buttons are fully functional and sound quality is just as good as a decent set of the same style wired ear buds. one of my favorite things about this style of headphone is the small size and incredible bass response and these do not disappoint in this area either.

i'm giving them a 4.5 pending a 5.0 rating based on the short battery life i experienced. this was no doubt due to the fact i did not have enough time to fully charge them up today before i left but at out of the box + 1 hr roughly of charge time the lasted about 2-1/2 hours of constant music use before they died. sony claims 8 hours of use time, not sure if thats realistic they read half battery when i took em off the charger today but that could be inaccurate so who knows. ill post back with my results on further use later.

as for range of use. i was able to get as far as 12' from my nexus and still had perfect sound but at that distance putting my hand over the "pod" unit (the main module with controls) would cause a drop out but they reconnected extremely quickly. with normal use i do not see range being an issue with these they have good range overall.
[Nexus One Accessories] grainysand:
Battery life's fine, I haven't charged mine for ages and it still goes strong.

I also used to have a cheap BT headset but it sucked so much, ended up grabbing a pair of these instead. The fact that it needs somewhere to clip to is a bit annoying, but hey, quality. Sometimes it sounds too bassy, though.
[Nexus One Accessories] Frito11:
yeah they are strong on the bass at times but i like my music that way most of the time. great to hear on the battery life, they are fully charged now so i will be using them today to see how they do. the dongle doesn't bother me its actually kind of nice because it makes it easier to access the controls on the unit
[Nexus One Accessories] kpjimmy:
How do these fare pricewise to the Sony Ericsson MW600 Bt headset? I have the SE one and I have to say one of the best headsets I have used to date, and it has a FM receiver to boot! Batterylife on the MW600 is pretty decent as well, but the only flaw is the contact slider for the volume compared to this one which is a physical button.

Both looks good, but this one looks like it can take a bit more of abuse lol.
