[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
I currently have a Vibrant and have unlocked the wireless hotspot that comes with the phone. I want to get the mytouch but T-Mobile is now imposing a 14.99 tether plan as of November 3rd. I do not use tethering enough to justify that expense, do you guys think we will be able to unlock the tethering that is built into froyo or just use some sort of app off the market to avoid paying the 14.99?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GentillyWoods:
Pdanet is what I use on my wife's Vibrant.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
Hopefully that is something that can be used on the mytouch

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamNCheese:
Should work as long as they don't gimp the market like AT&T has.

In either event, hacks to re-enable FroYo's built-in tethering should be trivial.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdlopez83:
ATT GIMPED the market? how so I tether always I leave it on all night at hotels sometimes and no repercussions. Same plan no extra charge. unless they changed something and im grandfathered in with my old 4 year unlimited internet plan.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamNCheese:
Yes, gimped. As in, you can't install un-trusted sources. It's an option on every other android handset, except those from AT&T. They pretty much took the best part about Android and neutered it.

Are you rooted? I'm talking about stock settings, where you can't get at the option to change it. Of course, rooting is another story, but having the android market being the only official source for apps sucks ass.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefvan2k1:
Speaking as an employee of T-mobile, I am seriously confused as to how the company is going to implement these charges. I just got the mytouch 4g as a champion device, and the tethering works just fine for me! I didn't change my account or anything, but then again I am not on a standard account. Now, I doubt that the phone automatically disables the feature when it detects an account without the tethering feature, but maybe T-Mo has something up their sleeve. They like to leave us in the dark with the important details.

Edit: Also didn't consider that maybe it's something to do with the champion device itself. Perhaps they left it unlocked for us to screw with, but I'll test a retail unit soon and see if there's a difference.
[EVO 4G General] todd@gmail.com:
After rooting my phone it no longer gives me the option of "connecting to PC." Whenever I select settings, connect to PC, the app crashes. Does not make a difference whether I am in USB debugging or not.

I need to reformat my SD card, and unable to do so. I use to have the option of selecting the charge/ disk drive, etc. mode in the pull down menu. It is no longer there.

Any ideas on how to fix this so I can connect to my mac or PC?

Thanks,

Todd
[EVO 4G General] INebilim:
Try wiping and see if it works. i had something similar happen to me but it was because i messed up the root process and didnt let the phone communicate anymore. google : how to root HTC evo 2.2 xda. there should be an enr3voked thread on here by Djr3z. it works flawlessly. of course you could just be missing the android bootloader drivers.

good luck
[EVO 4G General] pho75:
I have the same issue. But if I reboot the EVO and connect it to a PC, the connection option pops up again. If I disconnect and reconnect, nada. Basically, I have to reboot after each connection to get the option to pop up. Using the latest stock Fresh ROM.
[Desire General] tolis626:
Hey guys,what's up?

I've been checking the Desire HD and Z forums and saw that the Z/G2 is able to overclock at up to 1.5GHz.How far can our Desires go?I am not thinking of being stable and all,just seeing our CPUs reach their limit.Is it at 1.38GHz as in OpenDesire?

Thanks! :)
[Desire General] noobandroid:
Provided that crashes and restarts not counted as a factor, yes, it is at 1.38GHz until a crazier kernel pops out
[Desire General] AndroHero:
The droid 2 has been overclocked to 2.5ghz lol
[Desire General] tolis626:
At this it stops serving as a phone and starts serving as a multi-functional frying pan! :p

Well,I had used OpenDesire for some time and 1.38 was stable as hell for me!Never crashed and never became dangerously hot,even after heavy usage.Battery life was...acceptable! :)
[Desire General] StrongOneX:
isn't overclocking all about editing some numbers in the kernel, why dont you try it out?
[Desire General] tolis626:
Well,if it was that simple I'd already have done it!I think it needs to recompile the whole kernel...

I am a total noob in programming man.The only thing I've done until now is some command line work in Ubuntu and that's it.I wanted to start learning some things that would at least enable me to tweak my phone myself but it was in vain.So I'm stuck here,an end user.Once I finish high school I want to start learning programming,but until then...I don't know!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lilchicano:
ok so i have a tmobile tp2 and been having it since the first week it was released.

for the pass couple of days the call, home, and back buttons wont function like they need to.

also when i slide my keyboard up the screen goes completely black even when i close my keyboard, the only way to fix it somewhat is to keep pushing the sleep/wake button untill it turns back on.

my guess is that maybe something like a cable became loose and is causing it to have these problems, and i just wanted to hear what you guys have to say about it, or what you think the problem is and what you would recommend to fix it because i cant afford to buy a new phone for quite awhile.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Miami_Son:
Posting in the Accessories forum might not be your best shot at an answer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] mcomeau334:
Sounds like an app running to me. Even File Explorer (when searching the Windows folder) can cause my phone to hang for a long time. I would check in task manager to see if something is running. You can also try and app called "Clean Ram", it works great. The other option is a hard reset, to ruke out software issues. It could be harware, but I doubt it.

Very true.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] cajunflavoredbob:
It's likely a loose cable as you presumed. Hopefully you still have time left on your warranty.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Teej53214:
I hate to be the oen to say it, but it sounds like your ribbon cable is going.... My son had the same thing happen on his Kaiser/Tilt (Grandpa to this Phone)... It started like you said... then got worse over the matter of a few weeks... His screen woudl only work when it was closed... the buttongs on the screen housign stopped working properly... then his memorycard reader (it was in teh screen part on that phone) went nuts... got to the point where that phoen was basically useless... I hope that isn;t your problem, but it sounds like it..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lilchicano:
yeah i can pretty much say that it is the cable since i could still slide my keyboard but the screen just looks fuzzy like and when i close it, it takes time to adjust back to normal. so basically now its just an all touch screen phone to me now... sort of sucks since i miss using the keyboard so much.

and yeah the buttons got worst now to a point where none of them worked but somehow the back button started working again so thats the only button that does work now.

and a new problem started occuring in the last few days, the screen would turn on by itself with even a slight bump around where the battery is located, it really sucks for me cause it kills my battery faster and it just starts opening up random apps while its in my pocket.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] schumifer1:
I would like to hear what finally happened. People don't forget we are using WM phones. So no matter what the problem, hard reset before deciding!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lilchicano:
wow super late response to this.

but my final verdict is that it was the flex ribbon cable that is the issue.

my TP2 doesnt even show anything no more, its still functional but you just cant see whats goin on with the screen because its like its turned off.

it stopped working on me on dec 25,2010 (what a great present from the phone, huh?) to how i described it.

so now im using my sisters old HTC dream, but even this one is starting to have an issue with the ribbon cable too! i just get bad luck with these phones now i guess.

edit: oh yeah i still have my Rhod210 just sitting on my desk till i get it fixed... oh how i miss my TP2!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] schumifer1:
Another late response then

Fixed it yet, have you?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] pojo:
this occasionally happens to my phone too, that it, the screen blanks out sometimes. the cause in my case is pocket lint. since it's hayfever season, i carry tissues in my pocket which kind of disintegrate to confetti after a while. while my tp2 is in my pocket, these tissue particles tend to get in behind the ribbon cable and cause some kind of blockage. by just blowing in around the ribbon cable area, it tends to clear out those fluffy bits and the screen is working again. so don't carry tissues in your pocket with your tp2 :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lilchicano:
i actually took the time to open up the touch pro2 all the way today for a full diagnosis on it, and i was right. it was the cable. where the cable is exposed when it tilts, it looks like it sort of got stripped around that area. im not sure how but it left part of the cable exposed which im guessing is whats causing it to have the issue. i was taking a couple of pictures as i was disassembling it, but i forgot to take a picture of the cable itself to show you what i mean. maybe ill disassemble it again tomorrow so i can take a pic! =)

but yeah im still using the g1, and i finally fixed it! (ended up bricking a g1 so i used the other as replacement parts on it) but hopefully not for long cause graduation is tomorrow for me, and i MIGHT end up getting a new HTC phone as a graduation present from the family. so i hope that does happen!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] lilchicano:
ok so i reopened the touch pro 2 and took a pic of the cable to show you what i ment.

i realize it may have been posted before tho i cant find it any where so here goes

my question is simple out from i can gather wm7 is gonna be pure apple like with market and such and also means u cant attach your phone to your pc and transfer a app to it as u could with the old wm 6.5.x etc and to get a app on wm7 u need to put on the market as its the only way to install now.

have i understood that correctly ?

only reason im trying to find this out is that i have som apps i use on my old 6.5.x that would re write but its some personaly programs that only i use and i dont want on the market will it be possible to install them with out havin to put it on the market is my real question and not to mention u have to pay big load to just be able to put it on the market the first place and its not even sure ms wil let on there the first place

wil it be possible to install apps with out to be forced to publish them ?

regards

mad
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ren13B:
I'm in the same situation as you and yes you will have to pay $99 a year for a marketplace account to install your applications but you don't have to publish them on the marketplace. Once your device is registered you can load the app from your pc using the "Application Deployment" app that comes with the SDK. Your app will never touch the marketplace.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddragon151:

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AceofSpades25:
Yeah I second that feeling. What about people that just want to develop for themselves. Your only choice is to try to make your money back by selling them in the market place
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ren13B:
I don't remember where but I read when you sign up on the marketplace you get assigned a GeoTrust cert that Microsoft has to pay for and that's why it costs you money. Of course if Microsoft didn't lock the phone down so much this cert wouldn't be necessary but that's the way they want it.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
it's also to limit privacy, and entice professional developers to the platform, that they know with a lot more certainity that when they make an application which should be paid for, that it's not just going to end up on some website as an individual file (.cab) with a serial provided to get around actually paying for the application.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] _CriMson:
First of all I wanted to thank all of you for your hard work in making such great ROM's for the vogue, and all the other development that goes into porting the kernels and builds from device to device. I've been on the site for years and have been flashing my vogue for as long as I can remember. I can't think how many different WinMo ROM's I've had on there, and probably just as many android builds from 1.6-2.2. I remember having 2.2 on my old vogue before my fellow Android users got it on their phones.

I know it's been said a thousand times, but you guys gave a new breath of life to these phones. Unfortunately my vogue days have come to and end as mine has finally left the world.

Good news is I found a sick deal over at amazonwireless for an Incredible for $50, so I couldn't pass that up, especially since there are Evo ports to the incredible now, and the scene is very big for it right now.

Thanks again for giving me another couple of good years with this phone.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
Hello there

Here's the thing: my wife is currently in South Korea, and she's about to buy a Nexus one there. From what I've seen, there's two possible band sets for them:

HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100

HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

I know Korea uses 2100 (so any of those would work), however, here in Costa Rica we use 850. Is there any way to know which one of those the phone has before she buys it?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
AFAIK, the only Nexus in production is 900/1700/2100 one.

S/N on the back under the battery ends with 100.

If you have S/N ending with 110 - then it's 850/1900/2100 one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
Thank you very much.

Quick question... don't you mean the FCC ID? Because my S/N ends in 607 (I have a 850 N1), but my FCC ID does end in 110 (as well as the IC, whatever that is).

[Vibrant General] AndroidCat:
First of all I don't have Advanced Task Killer and such ..:)

I noticed that Google Calendar (and Tasks) are being automatically synced to cloud only once per day. If I create a new entry either on my desktop PC or on the phone it will not be reflected on the other side until I wait 24hrs or perform manual sync.

Something is not right, since it is hard to use calendar that way. Its entries should be synced more frequently than once per 24hrs.

Should it be application business to force sync then? I use Jorte BTW.

Sync setting is on and I have calendar, contacts, gmail and Picassa sync enabled.

Gmail sync is working perfectly (well this is more like "push email" service).

Any ideas?

This is an awesome Development thread.
[EVO 4G General] kzibart:
Sprint has called me three times in the last 5 days, each time claiming to be my "personal representative" and wanting to ensure I'm getting the most from my service. In other words, they're trying to sell me things, like a new line or other Sprint services. The first two calls were identical, asking the same questions. I tried to explain to the second person that I had just answered them two days prior, but they just said "Thank you for that information" and proceeded with their questions. So I answered every one with "Like I told the person just 2 days ago, ____. Nothing has changed in 2 days." But they just kept going.

The third call yesterday was a little different. The lady was trying to tell me that Sprint wanted to give me a free phone. She tried to list some models (LG I think?), but I couldn't tell which ones she was talking about. I explained that we already had the top of the line phones (Evo and Epic), but she kept insisting that these free phones would go well with our current service plan. I ultimately told her I couldn't talk right then, which was the truth, and she said they would call back later. I ignored the call when it came through. I feel a little bad about that, but seriously... I think I've put up with enough.

Is anyone else getting hassled by Sprint like this?
[EVO 4G General] MrInquisition:
I got a call like that at 9pm. I had a few problems with it:

1. The accent was so thick, it was barely recognizable as english.

2. Between the lady talking so quitely and the background noise of her work environment, I couldn't hear her.

3. I have one phone and no one else on my plan. Even after saying I have no one to add to my plan, they still want me to change phones from the top of the line EVO.

WTF?

I've been browsing my daily reads like droiddog and tmonews and came across this:

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/10/t-mobile-launching-14-99-tethering-plan-november-3rd/

... A tethering plan. I'd be curious to see what everyone's opinion on this is, especially since those of us with Nexus One's have tethering built in.. Does this mean that we will not be able to tether? If so, why not? What can t-mo do to prevent us from tethering, anyway?

Just looking for some opinions.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
There were discussions on the similar topic already.

As long as you use built-in tether, the ways to actually detect it are bordering on, or just simply illegal.

They can detect tethering if their own app notifies them of it, otherwise - most likely they won't know.

[G2 and Desire Z General] drtchocky:
I am very new to the concept of any programming, especially that on phones. But can one of the awesome developers describe to me what is inside the programming of the camera... specifically, is it possible to:

1) Reassign button functions to make it so that either the call send/end or volume buttons initiate image capture

and

2) Speed up the "shutter" speed to that pics appear less blurry in low light?

Be kind?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bftb0:
#1 Is indeed a software problem, but to change that behavior might require access to source code that the devs do not have - I'm not sure.

#2 Is not a software problem, it is a fundamental (physics) limitation of cameras with small diameter objectives - they simply do not gather enough light fast enough to create full-scale intensity pixel values... unless they make very long exposures. That makes rapid auto-focus an impossibility, and also causes blur due to either camera motion or scene motion (during the exposure) to occur. The only solutions available are: (a) use more light, or (b) get a real camera.

you guys are way over thinking this situation. Look at the demo code from google. I can't post the link because I'm a "new user" but its under the "Common Tasks and How to Do Them in Android" page. You would use button override commands to get the camera to take a photo with the send/end keys for example. But yea, you won't see a phenomenal difference in the shutter speed/ blurriness of the photos if u make your own code/modify it.
