[General Questions and Answers] ThaiM:
From what I understand, AT&T uses frequencies in the 1900 MHz and 850 MHz. Also, Rogers uses these same 2 frequencies.

So with that said, am I able to purchase ANY AT&T phone, unlock it and use on Rogers?
[General Questions and Answers] Michael_robert:
Hi,

“Rogers SIM Card” can work with any “GSM” based cell phone but you have to make sure that this “AT&T” cell phone is unlocked.
[General Questions and Answers] AdrianK:
That's not what they meant.

They're asking if you you'll get Robbers 3G on an AT&T phone since they use the same frequencies for 3G.

I seen people do this numerous times (Robbers Dream on AT&T, AT&T Nexus One on Robbers).

Hi all,

Any idea how to hard reset NAND installations to delete user data?

I need this so that I can edit files for my MMS to work. The idea is same as on SD builds wherein after all the fixes are applied in system folders (customize and etc), the data.img will be deleted/replaced with a clean one so that the fix will work.

Anyone?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Reflash the Rom, and when it asks you whether to keep data or no, choose no : )

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
but only a few clockwork roms available and the clockwork roms available is not my cup of tea.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Most likely market is re-downloading your downloaded apps for you. Just uninstall them, either after or prior to hard reset.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Nope. Market is not redownloading it but it's already there.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
then in that case its likely that you are using a nand build that uses a external data source like data.img on SD card or app2sd etc.

Backup what you need from SD card and format it, then put your stuff back on and do hard reset of nand, or simply re-flash same ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Nope. I am using MDJ Froyo Revolution 2.2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
I've tested this on several NAND builds. It does not work on any that I have tried.

Self-drawn conclusion(could be mistaken) - Because we do not have native Android with a REAL recovery partition like a native Android device would, we cannot perform a factory hard-reset.

It seems to me that it is like most new PC's. They come with a 2nd partition(locked and inaccessible) that has the system files in a shipped, out of the box, state. If you feel the need to "Hard Reset", it formats the main partition and copies the system default files from the "backup partition" and there you have it - Fresh clean factory out of the box state with all user data removed.

This is currently NOT working on any available NAND or SD build.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
That's the same thought I have. The only thing with SD builds is that we can just delete the data.img to do the hard reset.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] matt300:
I'm using the Nexus One Gingerbread ROM (NAND). I was unable to hard reset from inside Android, however MGLDR 1.13 did it with the AD Hard Reset option. I took the SIM card and SD card out first.

I'll take another look when someone takes the plunge and buys it but until then I won't lose any sleep thinking about how it might work. I despise the single clock screen with set icons.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ED2O9:
Tried it. Aside from the 3D clock, the app list is a bit more structured. If you tap the app icon or slide up from the bottom, it brings up an app list that can be sorted by name, date or category. It looks okay, but it seems pretty limited especially when compared to a shell like LauncherPro.

No gingerbread yet.

I have no personal experience, but I read that once you unlock you are unlocked permanently. However, you can't unlock in every custom ROM (I think) so unlock first
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Backup your /EFS folder and all its files, it is possible to lose the unlock and have the unlock code changed.. I had to rebuild my nv_data.bin file a couple times.

Flashing other ROMs will make changes to to product code and possibly the unlock code area of the nv_data.bin file - so back it up.
[Droid 2 Global Themes and Apps] hgrimberg:
Anybody having troubles lately with Skype on your Android phones?. I just can't sign in. I've read articles and it seems that many people had this issue. I have a Droid 2 Global that is not on the Verizon wireless network.

By the way, I realized that Skype for Android is only for wifi and not for 3G???? Well after seeing this problem I found a hacked version of Skype at http://www.droid-life.com/2010/10/06...calls-over-3g/ and installed it on my phone. Supposedly with this version you can make VOIP calls over 3G. Again, I still have the same problem of not being able to log in to Skype, even from this version over 3G.

After having these problems, I installed Fring and Nimbuzz, but both of them took out Skype from their services, so there is no way to use Skype anymore.

What is this? Some sort of conspiracy from Google against Skype? Maybe Google is just about to launch a Google Voice program that does VOIP and decided to start a dirty war?

Or, is this just happening on Verizon phones running Android and there is a Verizon-Skype agreement to just allow Skype Mobile to run? On the description of the app it says that "Some handsets may not be supported"... Maybe the D2G is not supported?
[Droid 2 Global Themes and Apps] suda:
I have a unlocked version of Skype which will allow VOIP over 2g/3g, although i've tested it with 2g and there is a delay in voice but it works. I was having the same problem before. Just do a few searches.;)

So I came across this website and I was considering using it to mess with friends and maybe a few d-bags, but I was wondering if it could be considered harassment legally? Or could it even be traced to my IP? In the rules it mentions no threats and I wasn't planning on it, but it would be fun to annoy some people.

Any thoughts?
[General Topics] natebriggs:

[General Topics] ArabianRATA:
I would advise against it for numerous reasons. Most isp's backlog dhcp records for 180 days. While it would be fun to mess with your friends their retaliation would be swift! Best wishes.
[General Topics] AndroidSupreme:
I say go for it, but choose your victims wisely and keep it light-hearted.
[General Topics] booyakasha:
It is legal, however, if you take it too far it could be construed as harassment. My advice, keep it light hearted and chose your victims wisely. I used a bomb app on my phone with a couple friends before, its funny but it could get out of hand.

EDIT: I thought of something after I posted, I wonder if you could be held financially responsible if the person receiving didn't have unlimited texts (if such a person even exists anymore). Be careful is my advice.
[General Topics] AndroidSupreme:
Why would the recipient need to have unlimited texts?
[General Topics] jesusprice:
The recipient is going to get bombarded with texts so I would hope they have unlimited messages.

I would be careful doing something like this.
[General Topics] natebriggs:
Haha, I didn't even think of that. Can you imagine if you sent like 300 texts to someone with pay-per-use? That would be at least $30-$60 every time you did that. That's a really good point.
[General Topics] WebCobra:
Woah. I would hate this website if someone used it on me.
[General Topics] AndroidSupreme:
Ok so what if I am not on a contract and I have no more credit and someone sent all these texts? What would happen?
[General Topics] AdrianK:
According to their site it's USA and Canada only, I guess that's both to and from, in that case I don't see any way that the recipient could be charged (unless their carrier charges them for receiving texts whilst roaming or something).
[General Topics] natebriggs:
Well, it would probably eat up any remaining credit you had and then just stop sending, or maybe it just wouldn't send at all. But if you're not in contract with anyone then I don't see how they could pursue charges. You could just switch to another carrier.
[General Topics] Babydollll:
The only other thing the carrier could do is the next time you added funds to your account they could deduct the amount remaining that you owed before you ran out of funds (ie you have twenty dollars available, someone text bombs you costing thirty dollars, then later you add twenty five, the carrier deducts the ten you previously owed and you are left with only fifteen) Sorry if I ran on to long...

[General Topics] Babydollll:
If you do not have a text plan (ie 200 a month, unlimited..) You are charged for texts. T-mobile, for one, does charge 0.20 for each incoming AND outgoing text. Especially on pre paid plans...

[General Topics] Babydollll:
Nope. That also includes domestic texts. If you do not have a plan that covers texting either included like sprint or an add on like I have with T-Mobile, you can be charged for every message sent and/or received. Prices vary by plan, and/or carrier.

[General Topics] mikkohypponen:
Indeed. I believe in USA they used to charge you for incoming calls as well, which makes no sense either.

I'm not aware of any other country charging for incoming (local) SMS messages.
[General Topics] Babydollll:
Yes, they do with the exception of one,(sprint I think, or at&t I can't remember) and it's only if you are on that promotional plan. I have T-mobile, I have a family plan with two lines so except for nights and weekends (obviously) and other T-mobile customers, I am charged for both incoming and outgoing calls. On landlines however, the old rules remain. You are NOT charged for incoming calls... Makes no sense to me either.

[General Topics] AndroidSupreme:
It seems ludicrous to be charged for RECEIVING anything you have not asked for!
[General Topics] natebriggs:
yeah, it's pretty lame that pretty much every carrier in the u.s. does that, but i bet if you called and complained about the charges you could probably get the charge knocked off at least once until you can change your number. but it still would be a huge pain in the ass for the person.
[General Topics] natebriggs:
UPDATE:

so i've been using this site for a few weeks and haven't had any repercussions. it's pretty fun. i tried bombing myself to see how fast they sent and it's amazing how quickly it bombs. they come from different numbers too, so it clutters up your inbox. pretty awesome site... just wouldn't recommend abusing it.

This issue wasn't occurring earlier today (before I flashed Cyan), but now when the screen is off and I push the power button to bring up the lock screen, it will either:

A) Work just fine.

B) The buttons on the bottom will light up, and nothing will happen.

C) There will be about a 5 sec. delay, and then the lock screen will come up.

It's reeeeally bugging me, and ruining my cyanogen experience :/

Please and Thank you!

I have the same problem on 6.1.1. So far I have uninstalled widget locker, removed my custom brightness profile and I'm currently testing the unlock delay under cyanogenmod settings. It seems to happen less when I have the unlock timeout set to immediate. I'm curious if your screen slowly dims before turning off when you hit the power button, out if it turns off immediately like a sense rom?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm1322:
Yes, mine has been slightly dimming everytime as well. I'm wondering how common this is.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Try and set your lock timeout delay to immediate and let me know if you see improvement. Also, if you haven't figured out yet, the touch screen still works and you can unlock by swyping where your slider would be.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm1322:
That seems to have fixed it to a point. It's still kind of intermittent, but for the most part there is no more issue. The strange dimming still occurs when locking though.

CWM is the way actual Android phones flash themes, keyboards, languages, and even builds. The differences for us is that we can now flash keyboards, languages, and themes too.
