I have a Tmobile Samsung Vibrant... Rooted it a month ago and installed the eugene 373 2.3 gingerbread clone... it worked fine and still does... but as of yesterday i can no longer connect my vibrant to my computer... i have previously connected it to both of my laptops one running xp and the other running windows 7... i have tried everything... restored my phone back to stock... reset it a million times... formatted my phones storage (afraid to turn phone off at this point because update.zip was deleted as well as the rom)... any help is greatly appreciated....

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyendqh:
Hey guys I'm looking for an app or something that can do something similar to this:

I need to be able to lock purchases from the android market when my kids are playing games on my phone.

Either that or something that allows me to "lock" specific apps..maybe have them require a password to unlock?

I don't want to apply that to ALL my apps cause that would be inconvenient and plus I want my kids to be able to access their games. (Don't like kids mode, and doesn't work if not on mySense.)

So in the end, an app that can block purchases or an app that locks specific apps.

That would be awesome. If you guys know of any please let me know.

Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el-jodio:
There are various apps in the market. Check them out and see which one works for you. Search app lock in the market.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvmehaterz:
I'm actually using app protector and it works great for me. Password protected and you can choose to have the unlock pattern as well. I have locked gallery and messages as well as the market. Try that out. The also have a lite version u can try out before actually purchasing the app. Good luck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyendqh:
Yes. I'm very aware there are various apps in the market, that's the reason I made this post.

To ask for a recommendation from anyone that might be currently using an app like this.

Thanks anyway.

okay so I have had my used mytouch 3g ever since february of 2009. It was rooted so I always turned off data and used only wifi. my tmobile family plan contains 750 minutes + unlimited texts (we text a lot but talk less).

By contract expired last month I believe.. so we are not in contract with tmobile but on month to month basis. so tonight I receive a text message from 456 stating that I have added data plan on my mytouch line. I go online and log in and I am unable to take it off, also it states "extra services"- tmobile 4g plan... I don't even OWN a hspa device. so I was wondering if you guys with no data are getting data forced upon you on your device. g1, mytouch etc... oh btw I tested the data by going to facebook while turning off wifi, it worked and said (on the my account page) I used 0.61kb/ unlimited.... wtf
[G1 General] raziel26:
Stupid question but did you buy the phone from tmobile at a discount price? If so you are required to have the data service with a smartphone device maybe they never put it on your account before and just now noticed this trust me that kinda crap happens unfortunately the only thing I could say is to call them and have it removed because the unlimited is like $30 a month now they cannot force you to keep since your outside the contract

[G1 General] raziel26:
And unfortunately they can charge you for the 4g plan even if you don't have a device that supports it. Its because the service is available to you sprint does the same thing if im not mistaken.

Sent by Pigeon Carrier.
[G1 General] _ice_:
nope, bought it off some guy from craigslist. like I said I have been using the device for 11 months with no data, but I am hearing that they took off the "sidekick" plan which is the web 2 go, that might be the issue. although I never had web2go, I changed my apn anyway to point to wap.voicestream.net instead of epc.xxxx (default). that way I won't be charged for unwanted data. Now I checked my apn. HSPA and 3g keeps overriding it even if I put a null or a wildcard apn on the settings...I am thinking these guys use the imie number to figure out your device and impose automatic data plan on you (like at&t)

looks like I will have to call tmo and threaten to leave if they don't take my plan off...

also there has been an unnneccassry download charged on my dads account 9.99$ which he says he didn't download... wtf tmobile is soliciting!

oh offtopic but I am also in the verge of picking up a nexus S, I was thinking about getting the 800 mb data (for activation purposes) and canceling it within a month. looks like that won't be happening since tmobile might have changed their policy.
[G1 General] dhkr123:
First off, your HTC MAGIC is most definitely an HSPA device, 7.2 Mb/s max. What you don't have, is HSPA+.

Second... sorry, but tmobile are being real douchebags with this one. On one hand, they do have one reason for doing this besides ripping you off... and that is to prevent all the $572891.55 data usage bills from people who "don't use data". Force everyone into an unlimited data plan, and you don't need to deal with this support crap.

HOWEVER, it is still a ripoff. They *should* offer you a choice between all or none, which would also guarantee that you don't get an insane bill. Unfortunately though, that would mean that they get no data revenue from you.

You should probably call and complain about it. Tell them that you want data cut off ENTIRELY. Worst they'll do is say no. If they do that, tell them you're switching to ATT, who will give you a voice-only plan no questions asked. If they say something stupid like "att 3g isn't compatible", your response is "who cares? I'm not using data, so 2g is just as good."

Try it. Threats to leave can be good arguments.

From here.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848737

1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below

*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)

*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.

*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.

2. Unplug phone from USB

3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat

4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.

DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.

5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode

6. Click start and wait for the magic
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kennii:
i can get into recovery mode but not dl mode, an my pc never recognized my phone via usb even when android worked
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasunsrule32:
Try my how-to...

Also, try pulling the battery, and then holding the Vol up+Vol dn keys, plug the usb cable in, then plug the battery back in..., make sure the usb cable is plugged into your computer...

Or.., if your phone is partially booting, then:

adb reboot download
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kennii:
i cant "power off" phone cause i cant boot android
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasunsrule32:
10 seconds: hold power...

When the phone reboots to the Vibrant screen...

Press and hold: Vol up+Vol Dn+Power....

Wait for the Vibrant screen to reboot again...

Release Power... Download mode...

* Unfortunately, sounds like you've never setup adb or the sdk. I would recommed this...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kennii:

Voila, Should enter download mode. Good luck!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvibe88:
If you follow the steps your phone will enter download mode, In order for your PC to recognize what kind of device is plugged into it you need the samsung drivers. Which are here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kennii:
yes, so is that fixable?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvibe88:
Yeah definitely fixable, You just need to install the Samsung drivers onto your PC. Use Odin to flash a stock ROM onto your device and things should be better for you. I would suggest doing some research here on XDAand getting familiar with flashing a phone. Ive recovered from where you are now(a long time ago) this phone is very resilient. I have a thread over in the Q&A section with links to a video tutorial that I made for flashing a phone from stock, rooting, then all the way up to nero. Do a search on it, Good luck!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontJoinTheDarkSide:
If you can install the sdk software then you should be able to

adb reboot download

Through your command line on your pc as long as your phone is recognized in recovery mode. I've done it several times.

hold down the volume keys only

still holding the volume keys the whole time

put the battery in with your other hand

should go right into d/l mode

What worked for me is I'll plug the phone into the comp while the phone is off. I'm not holding any buttons down while I plug the phone in.

The battery charging indicator will appear.

from there I simultaneously push down the vol up and down buttons and voila!

In regards to Odin not recognizing the phone, you need the drivers for those which can be found throughout the forum.

What is the best way for me to do a full backup, given that there is no sd card. Does that data stay after a wipe? this is pre root. Previously I would use astro, but I'm not sure of the no sd issue. Guess I can mount and backup to pc.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docsamsom:
There is an sd card...just that's its internal. The data stored in the sd card is safe after you flash new rom's after a wipe.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rborg:
Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 651stp:
The best way to back up your things are to connect it to your computer and simply move whatever you have in your internal SD to your desktop or wherever you'd like to save it to. That way if anything should go wrong you have it on your computer :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
You can back it up to the Cloud

if you have Titanium Backup PRO

you have the option to backup to Drop Box

you get a FREE 2GB, when you sign up

which is more than enough, since our internal memory is only 1 GB to backup
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
He's pre-root, so Tit Pro won't work, as it requires root.

Since he's PRE-ROOT, he will lose everything on the internal sd card if he tries to do the FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK command to root.

Best thing you can do right now is plug up to USB on the computer, copy all contents to your computer and copy back after rooting/restoring.

The internal sd card is safe from a "factory reset" kind of wipe but NOT SAFE from a bootloader unlock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yeap, that's the only Drag in the NS rooting method

back in the SGS it was so straight forward, just unroot, and you are done, you don't even need to reboot the phone

much less Format the whole thing, just to get root :p
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rborg:
Ok, good thing I waited. It's a ***** to export app settings too. Now to pick a good rom.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haerwu:
OK, copying internal SD contents is easy. But how to make a backup of things from internal storage?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
You can't. There's no way.

This is why many of us rooted ASAP, to avoid accumulating data (like Angry Birds progess, LOL) that we would lose once we rooted.

There are apps to backup SMS messages, and your contacts, calendars, etc, should backup to the cloud. All you're going to lose is apps data that isn't saved by the app to the sdcard.

- SanDisk microSDHC_16GB

SDSDQY-016G-A11M

Hi bro, cheers for that information. Checked the sources you provided. Interesting comments there, one saying that SanDisk withdrew its compatibility Page since they haven't tested their (those) cards on WP7 yet themselves...

So we actually are left out in the wild with as much info as before. So it is even more important that people here report their experience with their cards.

I would strongly recommend, that people pay very close attention to the performance and any interesting detail before they post reports here. This would ensure quality of this thread is high. Maybe you, the OP could add cards, that have been verified by more than one user as working well to the first post? May i suggest that?
