I'm not sure Verizon is cheaper than Sprint. I have a two user family plan and pay about $170 with taxes. Verizon on the other hand will charge $220 and that is without taxes. I just looked at their website and they charge $2.99 for Visual Voice mail... really Verizon? wow.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
To everyone who *****ed incessantly about the 4g fee, are you happy now that you caused sprint to basically screw everyone?
[Epic 4G General] h2g2:
Technically, the lawsuit still holds. The lawsuit was about Sprint charging a fee for "Premium Data" when the customer already paid for "Unlimited Data". 4G was irrelevant. If anything, this move on Sprint's part increases the number of folks who can participate in the class action so either Sprint believes this class action to be baseless and has no shot of getting off the ground or Sprint is monumentally stupid. I suspect everyone already has made up their minds on this so I won't bother.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidwashg1:
is it possible to run a donut rom like superD 1.11 with a 2708+ kernel? has anyone done this? which kernel did you use --- pershoots? ezterrys?

thanks guys

---nevermind, answered. gonna try installing ezterry's original *crosses fingers*
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamal717:
Good luck :) but it works so u dont need luck :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidwashg1:
okay, so im using pershoots latest kernel with superD 1.11

two issues:

1. camera does not work. i expected as much using a kernel that was built to be run with froyo. but is there any way to fix this?

2. awful battery consumption. after unplugging my phone this morning, the phone ate up about 20% of the battery in less than 15 minutes. I am not overclocking at all, and I have setcpu running with conservative profiles enabled.

im gonna try ezterry's kernel and see if it helps with these issues.

anyone have any ideas or solutions?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamal717:
Ehh even with the 2708 kernel etc battery should last longer look at ur battery is it flat? or a little bulge?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattDrumz:
Try flashing the kernel from this post over SuperD. It basically gives the camera app more space, so that it works. As a result, you will have a little less RAM, but the camera should work, as it is designed to be used on pre-froyo ROMs.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wicia:
I have a question: do you also have awful video performance on every donut rom, when you have 2708 radio? Every donut I flash is extremely fast, but its 3d speed is similar to rom with ramhack. Is there any solution? I used pershoots and ezterrys kernel, but it didn't work

[Wildfire General] onlinegames:
Hi,

I had rooted my Wildfire using Unrevoked 3.2.1 and was using Paul Brian's MCR ROM with Sense. Since I wanted to upgrade to Froyo 2.2.1 released by HTC (though I knew I would lose root), I first reverted to stock Eclair version (RUU_Buzz_hTC_Asia_India_1.25.720.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142213_signed.exe) and then did an OTA update.

The phone is working fine in the normal mode. However, when I try to go to the Recovery mode, I get an error screen (red triangle with an exclamation). I have no option but to choose the three button mode to restart the phone.

I tried to restore the recovery image by following this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885447) but that didn't help. After PC149IMG.zip is loaded, it gives an error "Main version is older! Update Fail!". Any help in how to restore the stock recovery on my phone would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Shyam
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
It wont work because India's OTA is 2.25.720, theres no version above it. It worked for him in that thread because he used T Mobiles OTA (2.21) and overwrote it with a safe flash WWE RUU (2.22)
[Wildfire General] onlinegames:
Hi 3xeno,

Thanks for the reply.

Also, while searching some more on XDA forum for information on how to fix my issue, I read in a thread that the triangle with the exclamation is actually how the original Recovery works. All I needed to do was to press the volume up button and power to get into the recovery mode. It was this thread that had the information - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864495

Yeah, I know, I should have used the search function some more!! :)

All is fine now with the Wildfire restored to it's "original" state (as far as warranty is concerned). Will keep waiting for Unrevoked guys to root this version of Froyo too.

Regards

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n6nz:
I've been searching every where and not getting a good answer for this. Does the Gen8 USB host mode support USB serial tty ports? This thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863853

seems to point at the possibility.

I understand that it would need to have a host side CDC driver and appropriate kernel support. Does anyone know how much of that, if any, exists in the stock Froyo install?

If it does not exist, what does it take? Is it reasonable to think about compiling a driver and modprobe'ing it in (assuming kernel support)? (I'm not afraid to try it, I wrote my first driver back in the days of punch cards, but.... I've only just installed the Android SDK and unboxed my Archos 70 four days ago -- I should be considered clueless but trainable. Links and other clues much appreciate.)

[HD7 General] djcedric:
will we be able to take screenshots directly from app on WP7?

Team ChevronWP7 -- the ones behind the Windows Phone 7 unlocker and custom ringtone homebrew app -- member Rafael Rivera reportedly discovered a Samsung device driver that would allow for taking screenshots on Windows Phone 7.

Just like with the case of Copy/Paste - hopefully to be fixed soon, the brand new Microsoft mobile platform does not allow users to take screenshots, at least for the moment. The device driver discovered on the Samsung Windows Phone 7 device allegedly allows for screen grabs to be taken but it's yet unknown if it is working or not. It's also unknown if it's a Samsung specific driver or a generic one that could allow this feature on the rest of the devices in the current line-up. Whether we'll see a homebrew app for taking screenshots is yet unknown so we'll just have to wait and see what team ChevronWP7 (or Microsoft) is about to do to help us get proper screen grabs instead of taking pictures of our devices' screens.

how can i do the same in android (DL DesireZ v0.3.1n (Android 2.2.1))?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Sometimes, you really should do a little searching before starting a new thread.

Startup manager (free on the market) does exactly what you need. It took me about 30 seconds to find this information.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] badai:
i did. these are from my google history

"auto start" + android

autostart + android

"auto run" + android

autorun + android

guess i missed startup, manager and startup + manager or "startup manager". i wonder why i don't use those term. maybe because it doesn't rhyme with start, with that "up" at the end?

anyway, if you already knew the program name, that should be consider cheating.

edit: listed as free in market, but 15 days trial. and it don't even work!! maybe not working while in trial mode?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] domenukk:
Totally different Question:

WHY would you autostart android apps that are NOT supposed to be autostarted?

Either the developer wanted them to start automatically... or not.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baolongn:
Just got the nexus s and put it on the lowest setting of brightness. What I noticed first was the pulldown bar was brownish red. Is this just a feature of the s.amoled screen or is mine different?

Anyone have this?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
On lowest screen brightness, the pulldown shade is just a more muted shade of the two greys that it is on brighter settings on my phone.

You've got no mods installed?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baolongn:
It doesn't look like grey at all. It looks like a pretty dark maroon. And I don't have any mods to the phone. Do you think the screen is faulty?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Does it look normal at middle and highest brightnesses? Should be shades of grey on a stock unmodded phone.

If you go to this link on the web browser in the phone, does the colors match what they look like on your computer? http://www.pptfaq.com/webcal.gif

There's definitely something not normal; not a hint of red or maroon on mine.

You've rebooted, right? Hate to suggest it, but a factory reset might clear any software caused issue before we have to say it's faulty hardware.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baolongn:
the shades of grey between 249 and 251 are reddish/maroon and further down the spectrum, its the same.

could it be a hardware issue? thinking of just going back to BB..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yeah, it doesn't sound right to me, without actually seeing the phone.

You're going to have to try two things, the order of which is just a matter of which is more convenient to do:

1) Look at someone else's phone and see if it looks the same. If there's a Best Buy nearby go in and ask to see the demo phone turned on and look at the same screens. If the other phone you look at is the same, maybe it's just your perception, it they're different, then you know for sure you have a problem.

2) Do a factory reset just to make sure there's not a software glitch. After the reset, don't add any new apps or play with any settings until you've checked the colors to see if they're the same or have gone back to the normal greys. If same, bad hardware in my opinion, if back to normal, obviously a software glitch.

The reason I say the order you try either of those above is just personal convenience opinion is that if you're going to exchange the phone, you're going to want to factory reset (and wipe the sd card!!!) before handing the phone back to Best Buy, so if resetting up the phone isn't that big a deal to you, doing it first to troubleshoot might save you a trip to Best Buy. Reset is easy enough, though, to do right in store if you opt for the store visit first.

Let us know what you find out either way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baolongn:
Will do. Thanks a lot!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishfuse:
I have the exact same problem. This has happened to me three times, with three different Nexus S. I've seen a non-defective Nexus S working before, so I knew they were defective. Check YouTube reviews in HD and you will see the difference.

I had to drive 200 miles each time, just to swap this phone. During my third (and last visit) I was harassed by a Best Buy Mobile employee, who implied I was lying. He didn't want to swap it for me. It was an unbelievable situation.

He took my cellphone and ID inside and brought it back 15 minutes later saying he compared to another one, and the "defect" was in my settings. I told him it wasn't (I tried everything before driving there), and showed him the brownish/reddish tint. He told me (very impolitely) that unless I could show him the defect, he wouldn't swap it. I told him I would be pleased to, if he brought another Nexus S so I could show him the difference. He declined to do so.

(Please bear in mind that in every single return I've made, I kept the phone in intact conditions. I didn't remove ANY STICKERS. There were no marks -not even finger prints - on it. Everything was wrapped up.)

Still, he swapped my phone, saying "this is your last time, you made me lose more money than the very few dollars I would've made with you".

I was threatened, he wrote "No more returns" in my receipt, and said I would be black listed so there would be no chance of me ever swapping this phone again.

Not surprisingly, the "new phone" has the same problem.

It just amazes me how little costumer service skills was shown. I drove 200 miles. Twice (one of the times I was able to go back to the store before driving back home). I had to leave my job earlier. I need my cellphone for work. Instead of receiving apologies for this very unfortunate problem, I was humiliated in front of the entire store.

I can't exchange it now, am "black listed" and with a defective Nexus S. I will try to contact Samsung as they might be a bit more approachable than Best Buy.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zardos66:
I would have went straight for the store manager if an employee treated me like that. If that didn't do it a call to their corporate HQ would have done wonders. That behaviour is 100% wrong.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishfuse:
He told me he was the "Store Manager". When I inquired whether he was the General Manager for the store, he told me Best Buy Mobile is a separate company. I read a bit on it, and apparently this is not entirely true.

I will try to contact corporate HQ. I'm unsure what are the odds of being heard by Best Buy, though.

Thanks for the tip.

Mine has a reddish brown tint as well on lowest brightness. But then again I have a screen protector on. I am on CM7.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishfuse:
Most likely it isn't the screen protector;

Mine has the same reddish brown tint even in different brightness settings. It just becomes less noticeable, but it's there, and it's different than what a regular Nexus S looks like.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
I have this problem on my Nexus too, gawd this pisses me off. I just returned a MT4G because the screen sucked. I have a VIbrant as well and the screen on the Vibrant is a million times better. Good thing I still have exchange time and the 10 dollar a month insurance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Is this something worth bringing back to bestbuy? Like is it a defect or just a consequence of the technology?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2012iawait:
its not a defect when you buy brand new nexus s it has that but it will go away as you use your phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
It looks terrible, I don't see how it wouldn't be a defect. It turns cyan into a green color, it's ridiculous.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishfuse:
I couldn't agree more.

j0hnZ, do you have the same problem?

Sometimes I wonder whether this could be a manufacturing problem with a certain batch/series of phones. I got my Nexus S around the Seattle area.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
I have the problem, I'm returning it to stock and exchanging it today. I also have a Vibrant and it's supposed to have the same screen but this is ridiculous. I bought mine by the Tacoma Mall yesterday.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Keep us updated if your newer one has the same issues. Considering exchanging mine as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
Well I took it in, I compared it against my Vibrant for them. Then we checked it against the demo model, which they said came from another batch. Both of them had the issues, I went ahead and took a different Nexus back and it still has the issue. So I don't know maybe this is just a Nexus S thing that nobody else notices unless they came from a Galaxy S.

To me it takes away from the samoled look, it looks like every other phones screen now. I can't change it though so whatever...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reflux:
i bought my nexus this past tuesday. i noticed the tint, but didn't think anything of it. then my gf and I decided to head to best buy this past saturday to purchase her nexus. when we got back home, she turned it on and put it to the lowest brightness setting. i was wondering why hers didn't have the tint. now it makes sense that my phone is defective.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
So has anyone actually brought it back and received a tint free device in return?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
Well they were very willing to help me out, and I told them if I had the problem again that I would request them to send it to Samsung under the warranty instead of the regular 14 day exchange. I'm really tired of going to the store(it's the 3rd phone I've gotten this week).

I even showed them my cyan theme on my Vibrant that I made and took her to the xda page on the Nexus and she was like "ya they look like different shades of blue".

Maybe someone will make a fix for this like they did on the Vibrant.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Hmm..I should avoid this thread. The more I read it, the more I want to go exchange it lol. Don't know if its worth it to peel off my full body protection, but the tint does bother me. I've read on other threads that the color white could be an issue too. Some have reported to have a yellowish/blueish white. White is currently decent on my NS. Anyone else having different tones of whites?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baolongn:
Hey. Just for all of you guys wondering if an exchange is worth it, I once had a defective one where my whites were blue and greys were purplish red. I exchanged mine within a few days and received a perfectly working nexus with colors correctly callibrated. If you have doubts on whether your screen is in working order and its obvious it isnt, you're entitled to an exchange. Don't let bb say otherwise.

There is a nexus out there that has a better screen than yours, why not take advantage of the 14 days exchange periods and get it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
I think its a shoot or miss. I've exchanged two NS's already and finally received one that was noticibly better but not yet completely true color. Starting to believe that its the limitation of the nexus s screens. True whites, but the maroon tint is inevitable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:

Quick question... is there anywhere to D/L the Sprint Nav app? I want to add it to a rom I am using that doesnt have it cooked in.

The only reason I dont like the google nav app is because it doesnt say the name of freeway exits but rather uses exit numbers which for me is useless. I dont know about other places, but in Southern California we tend not to use exit numbers and some exits dont even have the exit number posted anywhere.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acuzerfdw:
Not sure what ROM you are using, but most of them put all those apps in your SD card under something like "Removed_Apps". Try checking in your SD card to see if there is a file like that. Then you van go in there and install it like any other app. Hope that helps.
