Can you wifi tether this and just use my home network? If do i have to get the data plan

I've looked and asked around but I'm getting mixed information
[EVO 4G General] NewZJ:
ive read it has wifi, can connect to home network
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
yea i seen and read that too but was told io had to get the data plan to connect /boggle i want one but the data plans are crazy .. when i could tether it to my phone and use my wifi network at home
[EVO 4G General] tmotech88:
you can use you home network withour a data plan it works just fine, i tether from my Evo to my tab all the time and find it cheaer and more convient
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Yes u can but if u buy one from the provider u gotta get a plan. Later a wifi only version will be released
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
cool i thought you could but wanted to make sure
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
well bestbuy told me i did not have to get a plan and its working just fine from my home network just picked it up and i did not get a data plan /shrug
[EVO 4G General] caguirr4:
yeah you dont have to get a data plan. that would be crazy. in a nutshell and please excuse the comparison but essentially it is like having a big ipod touch. you dont have to buy the data plan and dont let anyone tell you that you do.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
little off topic here, but if you're bored, i wouldn't mind a review of the tab. i've seen it from the tech blogs standpoint, but i'd like to see an actual user review it.

just a thought.:cool:
[EVO 4G General] mclife:
It depends on the version you get whether you need to buy with a plan or not. Sprint, for example, does not offer the tab without a plan, but Verizon does.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
funny best buys selling them for 599 i just bought one and im using it hell my wifes on it now and wont give it up
[Droid X General] byproxy:
So I'm heading to BC for Xmas and wondered what my options were in terms of cell service with the X. I see that intl. roaming is .69/minute. Is that it, or is there some temporary plan/service I can add through Verizon that'll let me use the phone without roaming fees?

Thanks for the info!
[Droid X General] CynicalFilosoph:
Call Verizon and temporarily switch to the unlimited data US and Canada plan, Canada has Verizon partners that will keep you with good reception on your trip.

[Captivate General] bambamboom:
Hey guys, got my phone replaced WOOT.

first thing i did was go home and update to the leaked froyo 2.2

i went to the market to install the oneclick lagfix but it said that the root that it includes doesnt work with 2.2 and i would have to find another method. could anyone point me to the easiest and safest method to root. im looking for a method where its easy to root and unroot if needed.

i looked on google and youtube and found this link related to 2.2 root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797397

that honestly seems a bit too complicated to me.. (im stupid i know).

would the one click root/unroot work for me? it says its only been tested on 2.1 so i wasnt sure.

thanks guys! :DDDD

[G Tablet General] Tapple:
Okay, I'm sorry if this should be in another forum, but I figured the minds in develpoment would have a better answer.

I have a G Tablet, running TnT lite 2.0.0 + 2.0.3 Sup, Launcher Pro, ES File Manager. I was trying to load some files onto the internal SD card using a standard USB connection to my laptop. It connected fine, I used the 'Mount SD Card' option that popped up in the notification section, and it appeard on my laptop fine.

The problem comes that I know the file structure of the External SD Card, Internal SD card, and System sections. So I KNOW I was looking at the Internal SD Card. I copied my files and deleted a txt file that was at the root of the card. Once I properly unmounted the card and checked it using ES Filemanager, none of the changes took place. My new files gone, and the deleted file still there and readable. So I pluged it back in, and the laptop shows the new files are where they should be and the txt file still gone. WTH?!?!

If I load the files the External SD (by removing it and moving them using a seperate SD reader), then transfer the files to the internal using ES File Manager, it works fine. I don't get it.
[G Tablet General] Tapple:
Okay, used the refresh option in Filemanager, nothing. Rebooted, now I can see the new files, but they have a 0 byte size. ??
[G Tablet General] Don Lettrich:
Did you 'eject' the disk in Windows before unplugging the cable? Windows has been known to cache writes up and not perform the actual disk open until you eject or stop the device from the icon in the system tray. It caused me to lose some data on a jump drive, so ever since I make sure to force Windows to flush the cached operations by ejecting and waiting for it to tell me it is safe to remove.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
The problem is 2.03. USB storage mode was broken with 2.03 and you will probably also notice some installed apps have vanished (another issue with 2.03).

Install 2.04 or the new and awesome 2.20. Both fix the problems. 2.20 is just as fast, but more stable than 2.03.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swehes:
I run into this question and I have this question as well.

What is deodexed?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. this is not me talking its a quote from another site by the way
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferparedes:
So those douches over at Telcel removed these apps. How to add them?

This is what *I* did, and I'm a total noob so I don't pretend to say this is the *best* way to do it. If you find a better way, by all means, post it here.

Anyway, what you need:

1. Root your phone. Tons of ways to do it, search forums for it.

2. Root explorer. Payed app, worth it. You need Mastercard or VISA in order to buy it, AMEX won't work.

3. Market enabler, pull it from market

4. The apps APK's. I'm attaching gmail related apk's. For gtalk you can extract them from any 2.1 firmware (i'll post a quick guide for this below).

Steps for Google voice search:

1. Start market enabler. Activate [au] Telstra - this is not permanent and harmless

2. Open market and look for Google Voice Search and install it.

3. You're done!

4. Optional: Dump that stupid "Portal Ideas" icon they put for the browser and download Dolphin Browser instead.

Note: The widget will still say "Yahoo" but it will default to Google search. Fortunately for us, Telcel is pretty sloppy and they actually never removed the google search apk's (except voice search)

Steps for Gmail

1. Put the Gmail.apk and GmailProvider.apk somewhere in your SDCard or external SD

2. Using Root Explorer copy these to /system/apps

3. Reboot. If you forget to reboot you'll get a bunch of force closes and other errors. These are harmless, but once you reboot they'll go away.

I imagine that for Gtalk it would be the same steps as with Gmail.

Quick guide to extract apk's from any firmware

What you need:

Linux or a virtual machine running Linux (virtualbox from oracle is free and good, + Ubuntu)

A 2.1 firmware file. Don't use a 2.2 i have no idea what would happen

1. Get the firmware .tar opened with WinRAR or 7-Zip or whatever.

2. Navigate within the .tar until you see "factoryrfs.rfs" copy that over to your HDD

3. From your Linux system (VM or otherwise) mount the rfs using the instructions here:

http://z4ziggy.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/mounting-the-rfs/

Once mounted go to the system/app dir and get whatever apk you want from there.

Hope this helps.

Nice find. Am I alone in preferring the current look?
[Nexus One General] jm1999:
niiiiice!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus One General] elmerendeiro:
I hoped in new and more transitions effects...

but the major thing i don't understand is why some google widgets are white, and others are black...why don't keep it coherent, it would result much better
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Even though green is my favorite color, it didn't look to good in the low quality pics that had been leaked so far. They were all blurry and I think over-saturated as well. But seeing it clearly now it looks much better then I had previously thought.

Also, I like that it's being demonstrated on an N1 still. Take that NS :D
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Here's a screenshot of it, for everyones convenience.
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
More thumbs from the video at Engadget.

The new launcher graphic looks awful; and what's up with the boxy look of everything? Basic UI stuff like radio buttons look AWFUL now. I'd rather they look completely flat (black/white only) then the cartoon-like gray-ish flat graphics they decided to use in Gingerbread - in fact, I much prefer the Froyo look. Popups are now boring looking, even more so than before which is quite a accomplishment. The status bar is a mixed bag, in the blurry pics I hated it, now I only kind of hate it. I think I can get into a black bar but the icons looks worse - not that the olds were perfect but they were overall better than what I'm seeing here.

Overall I'd rather have the old Froyo look with 3D-gallery-app-like UI overhauls of other central apps, more core OS animations and maybe HW acceleration.

-Just an opinion from somebody who works professionally as a designer and who had high expectations for 2.3/Gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Why? Google has never said what changes are coming in Gingerbread, and EVERY bit of factual evidence thus far has pointed to no major UI changes.
[Nexus One General] moelester518:
Hopefully you are able to choose between a white or black status bar and the froyo or gingerbread dock.
[Nexus One General] adam18488:
that my friend...i believe is actually true.

it seems as though gingerbread is going to be a somewhat minor update. changes to the market, maybe changes to music and one or two more things.

if it does turn out to be a relatively minor update (compared to froyo) i would expect that honeycomb will be released a lot sooner than expected...maybe February/march
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Fair enough; but who wouldn't consider this to be the most significant visual change since Android's initial release? I would, and like I said, the visual changes in my opinion have so far been bad.

[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
The people over at Google HQ obviously need to consult with the MIUI graphic designers (consult with someone, please..). No, I don't want Android looking like an iPhone, but the other various changes they made simply just kill the default Vanilla design. Especially the music application. Honestly stock Android looks pathetic at this point compared to other User Interfaces.. very disappointing.
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
I'm a dual iPhone/Android user, and while iOS is still ahead in terms of looks (stock vs stock), stock Android wasn't bad. I actually kind of like it to be honest, just needs a little bit more work. This though is a step back.

[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Just about the most unimpressive home UI tweaks Ive ever seen.

They just made a few things green.

Maybe theres more but Im certainly not expecting it.

Someone needs to explain how some random guy makes Launcher Pro and thus Android home UI inifintely more usable and uniform. Yet google cant even get the dock portion right.

Googles reputation of making things not pretty continues. Im expecting 2.3 to be a very very big letdown.
[Nexus One General] ranova:
but functionality + features > looks imo

I was a 3.5 year iOS user - disliked the simplicity of it
[Nexus One General] Award Tour:
Why did you have to take it there? We're only talking about looks no need to start a senseless iOS versus Android thread.

Anyway, why not have looks too? Do you think the universe would just explode if a OS has both functionality and a good looking UI? Or are you content on having a boring looking OS?
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Agreed..as do most of us which is why we use Android.

But its mind boggling that Google cant fix up the UI when theres a plethora of skins and apps that do the job and pretty much did all the footwork.

I cant imagine that giving users the option of 5 custom apps at the bottom , and color pallet switching would self implode Google.

Prettier icons ? Theres thousands upon thousands of them out there and hundreds of templates to make "pretty" icons.

Its just weird.:confused:
[Nexus One General] player911:
I don't think the Green Icons are doing anyone any good. With Green Icons you are basically stuck using a green homescreen and theme, or at least pick a color that works well with it.

Froyo and beyond simply used Smokie backgrounds with white icons allowing it to be used with any wallpaper or color theme.

My only hope is that they are allowing some built-in themes, color palate, or skins. Plus that Green looks ugly. Like Pine Tree Air Freshener. The old bright slime android green worked ok (but not with Orange Highlights). The dark green looks nasty, especially on a black taskbar. Hunter Green and Black don't really contrast each other very well.
[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Remind me of the first terribly ugly all green iterations of Rodrgzstyle...blech.
[Nexus One General] player911:
On another note, watching the video again... it appears that that is running on a Nexus One. You don't get to see the whole device but it does zoom in enough to get a good look at the sides of the screen to see the metal like material on the Nexus One.

[Epic 4G General] JonandRoid:
I am very familiar with rooting and all that jazz and have a droid 2 rooted and overclocked and undervolted blah blah blah. My fiance just got the epic 4g last night and she wants the bloatware gone and likes the general layout of the phone so not too much customization will be going on for her but I would like some advice from this side of the forums..

Can I rename the .apks to .apk.bak(what I've done for my droid 2) in the system app folder to get rid of the bloat??

And also is there a 4g hotspot hack because I see there are a ton of custom roms and such but she isn't really interested in all that so I was going to see if I could just install a .zip in clockwork recovery and get it to patch the files and install the hacked hotspot apk. That's what process I used for the droid 2 when enabling my 3g hotspot and figured it might be the same. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Having that said. On the wiki there are links to posts on what apps are safe to remove. Regarding hotspot, get yourself some android tether son. You need to be rooted, but it works great. I have sucessfully connected from metro detroit to our vpn in Germany w/o issue using it. I can't find the link right now because as you know the google servers are down ;)
[Epic 4G General] amosher13:
somewhere on here there is a thread of safe apks to remove. if you're rooted (there is a nice one click on here too) then you can get sdx stock app removed (search that too ;) which can backup and remove any and all system apps. if you leave the ROM odexed (in its natural state and not deodexed like all custom ROMs) then you can benefit from the MobileAP ported from the i9000 which is on here too, search that sucker, that will give you infrastructure mode whereas wireless tether gives you ad hoc. some lappys cant connect to ad hoc. otherwise wireless tether is great, gotta get one of the recent pre's i think the current market version wont work on galaxy s yet. search google.

oh, and this is bound to get moved to general, not development.

Notes

The Cancel button doesn't always cancel!

In some of the dialogs of the UIFlex menu you'll notice that the "Cancel" button does not work as you might expect:

Once you have selected the plugins for your Background Today screen, "Cancel" saves your changes.

If you need to re-write a QuickLaunch script and then press "Cancel" you will be asked if you wish to rewrite all of your QuickLaunch scripts in the main program directory.

Translations needed!

Some translations are missing! Please help by providing the required translations in your language. This is not such a hard job, I reduced the number of messages produced by the script significantly and have cleared the lines which are no longer needed.

In addition, translation is done within the application now! Once you've made a complete translation just grab the "custom.txt" from inside the language directory and you can post it as "YourLanguage.txt" in the thread :)

Program Icon

The icon could perhaps do with a change but cyber-junkie said it's OK to use the existing one and I'm happy with that! :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arealityfarbetween:
@loueber: The trouble for you is that you don't have mortscript installed on your device. I've updated the cab on post #1 to include it, just download and install over the top.

@everyone else: I think it's a similar issue that you're experiencing with the GUI, unfortunately if the "@" format of calling subroutines doesn't work with your Mortscript then pretty much the entire program will fail.

Try installing the updated cab and see if you can get into the GUI but I haven't been able to reproduce the Line 23 issue so I'm not sure if that will resolve the problem.

You might want to try setting the registry value "[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]\Software\UIFlex\Language" to e.g. "English" if the issue persists after you install the new cab.
