this is why i said i have a love-hate thing for my new phone. i love it cause now its easier to use. back then when i was using my hd2 when my messages piles up to 500+ it takes sometime to load.. but in my hd7.. smooth as silk (nice!). i asked my wife to use both of my phones.. my hd2 and my hd7.. and after 2 days of each use. i asked her which one is easier to use. no doubt its hd7. MS must have put into mind these kinda users (like my wife) who likes it just nice and simple. after all how many techy phone buyers are out there in the market like us compared to all the phone buyers and users out there? MS just gave what most of the market share wants. I just wish that MS put also into mind ..that not all countries have cheap unlimited data plan with their phone subscription. and shouldn't generalize the idea of cloud storage
[HD7 General] colint3:
love it hate it

I love the slickness of the phone but I hate the way they have locked you out of using the phone the way you want too and being forced to use it like they want you to. Cannot see the sd card cant load anything on the phone unless going thu zune. Its worse than the iphone.

Microsoft phone is now dead. RIP
[HD7 General] /)4rk H4r8!n93r:
I really enjoy the HD7, yes right now WP7 is pretty basic and as some would put it "crippled". But with any new OS and/or device there is a growing period. Look at all the Windows OS's for example. Even after all the years XP has been out there are still occasional updates, Vista and 7 are the same, the OS's are tested, feedback is considered and patches/updates are created and applied. Then the cycle starts again. For as short a time as the OS and phone have been available, the two are very stable as far as I have seen, no lock up, crash, pink pictures, and I use this thing about 16 hours a day, the only issue I have seen in my experience is the 3G drops to EDGE, but I also have 3G from Verizon at work that is used to give internet access to the test PCs in the service dept., and it drops signal even more than T-mobiles 3G, I can't ever download drivers without the Verizon dropping and losing the file or having to restart the download because the shared 3G is dropping (possibly the florescent lights in the ceiling. Building composition, etc.). Yes, the HD7 does not support tethering(yet...), you can't use mp3s or other music files as ring-tones(yet...), The home screen is limited in the customizations you can do(for now). As MS tests and updates the OS to be even more stable they will undoubtedly open the OS a bit more for those with the urge to push the limits to the OS, while those that aren't as comfortable or aren't as tech savvy are happy wit it the way it is. Me personally, I cannot wait to see whats in the update, and what things will be "unlocked" at that time. I LOVE MY HD7...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahardin:
Hey Guys a problem just occured. I was surfing via wireless tether on my awesome rooted vibrant...... when all of the sudden i opened or changed a page at 12:00am 11/15/2010 when a lovely new page from Tmobile Popped up "GET A TETHERING/ Wifi Sharing plan for only $14.99 a month" and was obv garnished in pink and blue as tmobile is.

10 minutes previous to 12:00 am. I recieved a "free mobile message: Tethering & Wi-fi sharing access will be blocked unless you add a Phone tethering & wi-fi Sharing plan available at my.tmobile.com"

12:00am "free tmobile message: Tethering & Wi-fi sharing has been blocked" Please go spend all your goddamned money on more of our services because you dont pay us enough yet for your not quite... but paying for -- 4g service....

I am rooted with clockwork 2.5.1.2.. . .

WTF

is my question to tmobile... and Gents what can we do about this situation?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixnr:
How do they know you are tethering? Since they can't see what your doing on your phone...

Wrong Section. . . . . . . . . . . .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahardin:
Ya know... Great question and i seriously wish i knew. I believe that wireless tethering for the vibrant was originally loaded on all the "vibrants" and tmo took them off because they did not like the idea of their well invested bandwidth going into a NON-tmobile product. So a remnant of that SW might have a database. I'm just throwing out conjecture. But i need that back w/o paying out the ass.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahardin:
I quite disagree. If i post this in APPS then it will eventually make it here for "Android development" also known as modified hacking. I would much rather pay a person on this forum a generous donation as i have times so far to fix this situation.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerdcorerising:
And you'd be quite wrong. The development section is for discussion of development on the device, not questions that might eventually lead to development.

So, unless you're starting this thread with the intent of writing an app that gets around T-Mobile's tethering block, it's the wrong section.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grennis:
First of all, specifying a time (12am) does no good unless you give us a time zone.

Secondly, I dont understand what you are complaining about. You are not paying for the tethering, correct? So why are you expecting to tether? If you don't like this, why not try another carrier... Please let us know when you find a carrier that offers free tethering.

Third, it is trivial for tmobile to detect tethering. If you don't know why, that is your problem - not theirs.

-----------------------------

And also, the OP is not asking if Tethering is working for us! What hes asking is if theres any other way to Tether, or bypass the transfer limit!

At OP: Im not sure how exactly they keep track of tethering, but i do know that they have incorporated a transfer limit that will allow us to tether for free for only so long. I understand your frustration as I came from the MotoCliq and we were able to unlimited tether for free using the WiFi Tethering app or Barnacle....i do believe those do not work one our phone, so there really is much you can do as of right now
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremyNT:
FWIW, both Barnacle and Android Wi-Fi tether do indeed work (at least on Eclair, not sure about Froyo).

I'd be curious to know how exactly T-mo is detecting this as well. Sniffing traffic and looking for http user agents? Seems like a lot of work to go through just to catch the small percentage of users who tether without their plan, especially seeing as how everybody is capped anyway.

Of course, if T-mo is actually sniffing your traffic and inspecting packets, Barnacle and Wi-Fi tether wouldn't help you hide what you're doing anyway. One option would be to use a tunnel or a VPN to obfuscate what you're doing whenever you're tethering.

I'm contractless on T-Mo now, and if I lose the ability to tether I'm definitely going to be frustrated, maybe to the point where I'll jump ship. That's not worth $15/mo when I'm already capped at 5GB!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadpass:
I just checked via wireless tethering on a rooted bionix fusion 1.2 build and it worked just fine for me at 730am MST. Have you tried any proxy pages? So far it seems to be just your phoen OP that isn't tethering.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gwza:
I have been playing with a number of Custom ROM's on my HTC Desire, comparing speed and available storage space for apps directly after installation.

The one thing I cannot find a comprehensive answer to is that the stock HTC Sense implementation (2.10.405.2) reports approximately 145Meg available after installation and the custom ROM's only report between 97 and 110Meg available, even though their footprint is much smaller than the HTC ROM.

For example:

Size of the zipped ROM file: HTC = 147Meg and Defrost 6.0e = 83Meg

Size of the image when unzipped: HTC = 245Meg and Defrost 6.02e = 123Meg

According to my understanding the HTC Desire has a ROM of 512Meg, which is split into internal storage, system storage and cache partitions.

Now my question is - if the custom ROM image is so much smaller than the HTC image (almost half), why is the internal storage size (which is theoretically in a different partition) so much smaller? Are the partitions modified by the developer and if so, why?
[Desire General] KickAssMoves:
I have a weird problem, When I plug my phone into charge, be it via PC or even the wall connection, it acts like "disk drive" mode is set, even though charge only is set.

If I reset it to charge only it then says "preparing SD Card" and is fine again.

I know of one other person with the same problem, any fixes?
[Desire General] sr1ks:
I have this problem when i use my HTC cable but nt while i use my Dodgy cable from hong kong,

work around : Change the mode to HTC Sync from Charge only and it charges perfectly fine...
[Desire General] KickAssMoves:
You can reselect charge only mode and it works fine, just dont understand why it acts like a disk drive in the first place
[Desire General] sr1ks:
quite wierd i agree, the hong kong cable working, makes me think its the cable, but why could a cable change it to disk drive mode automatically(i have seen my htc cable change it to car mode automatically, which is understandable)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Do you have any apps such as Double twist, winamp etc? These apps have an auto mount sd function that you need to disable. Then magically it will no longer do this.

Check your apps people.
[Desire General] KickAssMoves:
WINAMP!

thank you, I didnt realise it had an automount function.

I knew someone on here would know!
[Desire General] ephumuris:
BOOM. This place has the answer to almost everything Android.
[Desire General] TML1504:
same here!!! it's since i permarooted with visionary_r12 and flashed hboot as well as an oc'd zimage and the adb-boot.img (before kernel)!

the strange thing is: even after a wipe and a clean flash of a stock rom i now have this problem...

must have something to to either with visionary, hboot or boot.img i think!

EDIT: shame on me, and big thx to ephumuris! indeed winamp was the cause... the strange thing is: i installed winamp about two weeks or so, and the automount started when i flashed hboot etc. ok, perhaps it has something to do with root rights etc.: winamp automount was active since i installed it, but started working after permaroot! anyway, big thx again!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iVisionX01:
Does G2 track pad have color capabilities like the Nexus One trackball?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daaango:
Don't think so but not too sure. I think I read somewhere that it turns blue when connected to a bluetooth headset, but someone tried it and it didn't change for them
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aacrabtree:
Generally speaking, any white LED is actually an RGB LED, just because of the way that LEDs create light. I have no clue if that's the case here, but that's how it usually works.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aacrabtree:
So the file lights.vision.so refers to it as an RGB LED. It also gives an option to set the color. How do you modify that (or can you)? I have no clue. But that file at least refers to it as an RGB.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acid_Wir3:
based on my experience theres different kind of LEDs some with multi colors some are sound sensitive and some are RGB only, therefore you cannot use purple on an RGB LED. BTW the lighting on the trackpad is the same as the one on the physical keyboard if you can change the trackpads color you could change the keyboards do, but you cant, i dont think you can change the color of that. btw the nexus one's trackball is an LED that changes color i dont know if its multi-color but yea the g2's trackpad doesnt have that :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aacrabtree:
Uhhhh…I think you're distinctly unaware about how LEDs work. LEDs emit light of a certain frequency when current passes through them. "An" RGB LED is actually three LEDs, a red, green, and a blue, which together create white. However, by tweaking the brightness output of the individual LEDs that make up an RGB LED, you can create pretty much any color you want. That's how light works (as an aside, there really isn't such a thing as "white" colored light. You're simply seeing equal amounts of red, green, and blue).

So, generally speaking, if you have white, you have RGB (though they have developed "white" LEDs, they're more expensive to manufacture than simply making 3 colored LEDs). And if you have RGB, then you (probably) have the ability to create different colors.

Now, the possible kink in the idea here is that it may be that all three LEDs are run in circuit, so if you have one on, all three are on; you can't modify brightness individually. I don't know if that's the case here, but if it is, then there's nothing we can do. Someone who's done a teardown would probably be the only ones who would know.

PS, have you looked at a G2 before? Because the trackpad and the keyboard are on different parts of the phone. It's physically impossible for them to share a backlight. Not to mention the fact that the trackpad acts as a notification system, and flashes intermittently. Don't think you want your keyboard backlight doing that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acid_Wir3:
what i meant is the keyboard and trackpad use the same kind of LED, (not running on the same kind of circuitry. yeah someone could prolly tear it down and edit or tamper the LCD by themselves, i know what RGB is btw, i just did not know that white is possible. RGB = red green blue = different combinations of density on R or G or B = different color.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Any white led where you can see a bluish tinge is a white LED that isn't RGB. The trackpad I have a suspicion that its probably one of the newer LED's that's just a blue LED with the special coating that makes it white.

hey guys,

I'm over waiting for my operator to bring froyo out. So I decided to flash with odin. I checked to see if my 3 button recovery mode was working...and it was. The little android robot with the shovel appeared. However, I could not get it out of recovery mode...so the took the battery out. Now the 3BRM will not work?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deteego:
I currently have an issue in forcing the G/2G network onto my SGS. The issue is that in my house, the 3G signal is ridiculously weak (but the 2G signal is workable) so I want disable the 3G when I am at home

The problem is, that even when using the #*#*INFO#*#*, when you change it to GSM, the change doesn't actually apply and it forces back to GSM/WDCMA (preferred).

The signal for example works fine when the SIM is put into my really old nokia, and calls and connects perfectly every single time

I am on the Virgin network (through Optus) in Australia btw
[HD2 General] mattyb_:
My HD2 appears to have a faulty usb port at the bottom. Being active only when you angle the cable correctly.

As HTC have classed this as "physical damage" (unsure how, phone 4 months old) I don't fancy paying their £200 + for a MB replacement.

Can any board members recommend a reasonable repair place in the UK.

I've used it maybe once or twice already, then today out of nowhere it stops working. The app closes when connecting to the call. I'm on stock and have not rooted. Thinking maybe I should return and maybe I'll get one that'll receive the ota too as I haven't gotten that either. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
Qik video chat will not work without the OTA. If neither party has the OTA the call will connect briefly and neither party will see each other. If one person has the OTA they will see the non-OTA person fine, but the call will still disconnect very quickly. Both parties require the OTA to fix the video chat.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shlongwoodian:
My fiancee and I both are on 2.2.1. Mine came out of the box that way, straight from TMO. Hers received the OTA the same night we received the phones. Qik also prompted to update for both of us, immediately.

We established one video chat session and thought all was gravy. The next day, she ran up to the grocery store and we tried it out - it establishes the connection, and then immediately does one of two things:

either

A) stops "ringing" at the "Initiating Video Chat..." screen and goes straight to an indeterminate progress indicator showing "Connecting..."

or

B) goes to the "Initiating Video Chat" screen and just spins its wheels for about a minute (then prompts to leave a message)

So, Android, Baseband, Kernel, Build & Software versions are all the latest AND congruent versions. We've also done a full reboot (not a quickboot) and no luck. Tango gave us the best results, but it has a terribly low volume level. Yahoo! messenger just produced horrible audio artifacts.

Between the XDA forum and the TMO Support forum, I've seen about a 5-10% success rate with video chat. Seems like this just isn't ready for prime time yet. We're both getting solid speeds here in our area too (and have been for the last few months)...
