Today I have made what I think is an important decision.

I am an android user, and I like a lot of applications, free and non-free. I was using an application to change automatically my wallpaper (euforia free), with its limitations in the free version, and after testing it (it works ok for me) I checked that the paid version only costs 75 euro cents (1 dollar). I thought that maybe I could find it "using other way" but... hey, guys, 1 dollar! You can find that incredible amount of money just looking under your sofa. So I bought it. And after that, I bought the startup auditor, that costs another dollar. And after that, I decided that if I use an application, it runs with no problem and it's cheap... why not? It's not a problem to pay 1 dollar for a good application, and it's good for the developement.

I know it's a little silly to create a thread just to say that, but I only wanted to share my thoughts :P.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
I always pay for Apps that i'm keeping.

It's nice to give back to the devs :)

(Just need pay versions for Angry Birds now)
[Off-topic] BQ Ninja:
I agree. I think it's important to purchase apps to help the poor souls who make them for us.

Besides, usually it's a dollar. For most who have smartphones in the first place, I can't imagine a dollar would be missed.
[Off-topic] sparkster84:
I think it would be great if every application had a free version, even if it's very limited, because I like to test any application a lot before keeping it, and most of them need more than 15 minutes to see if work properly or drain your battery.

I am just wondering if its necessary to jailbreak your wp7 if you wanna activate live services. I mean if you have a activation code provided by microsoft itself, what do you need to jailbreak for then?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
you only need it if you want to download apps .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mystik610:
Because downloading apps is an insigificant feature of modern day smartphones right?

Apparently MS will be disabling Chevron in an upcoming update.:

http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2...jailbreak-disabled-by-windows-phone-7-update/

When this happens, our current method of activating WP7 won't work. I have no doubt the DEVs will find a way to fix this, however.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ingrdgrbl:
Yeah, but i dont get that. If you have got a legal windows live id and a legal activation code, why do you need additional third party programms to download applications?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mystik610:
Because the marketplace will block unauthorized devices (i/e a hacked HTC Leo) regardless of whether or not your live ID and activation codes are legitimate. The marketplace can tell what kind of device you're using, and without unlocking the phone and going through the steps to change how you're device is identified, you won't be able to download apps.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ceesheim:
because you don't use a original wp7 certified phone
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] russpattaya:
You can disable the chevron from locking. see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907169&page=2

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoglet73:
Recently we flashed both of our HD2's to Android 2.2, this includes the update that fixed the wireless mac address issue (TY very much for that btw). The new issue I encountered was that on 3G I was unable to establish a link to sites/apps that used HTTPS whereas HTTP sites/apps worked fine. We followed the posts in regards to entering the T-Mobile APN settings, but what I discovered is that entering the proxy settings prevented the HTTPS from working. Removing the proxy info for Proxy and MMS Proxy resolved my issue. I have compared my settings to a friends on his T-Mobile Samsung running stock Android (both of his were set to <Not set>).

Feel free to move this post if I put it in the wrong section. Just want to help remove some frustration to those who might have the same issue.

Your country code was probably set back to the default middle east code, to the below:

1. ensure your Galaxy S Phone is set to use 24-hour format

(applications-> Settings-> date and time -> Use 24-hour format

2. launch the PhonePad

3. enter the following

*#272* the follow it with the time on the phone (4 digits) then follow it with #

example, the time on my phone now is 18:51 hence I shall enter *#272*1851#

4. the phone shall display a new window.

(BEFORE PROCEEDING SEE EXTORIAN'S WARNING BELOW)

5. select "XSG" and hit "install"

the Phone shall reload and your "Market Apps" icon which be there

Hello,

I'm thinking about switching to the mytouch 4G. T-Mobile's info on their site is a little thin. How do I know for SURE that the phone will get HSPA+ for video calling where I live? Is there some way people have for figuring this out? If I call T-Mo, I'm sure they're just gonna refer to their main 3G map. Can someone help at all?

Any experiences trying to use the camera with just a 3G connection?

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Currently using a mytouch 4g unlocked/rooted on a local carrier, I would just recommend purchasing a sim card and try it out for a few days or weeks. I think thats what I'll end up doing for, no contract plan and just try it out for awhile. If I like it make the switch, tmobile data is what you should look for on their site. My area shows that its strong, and at work its strong as well but I tested an employees phone and the signals were weak at work.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Well that's fine, but how do I get a hold of a phone to try for a few days? Nobody I know has it and I doubt that T-Mo's gonna give me a loaner. :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vunuts:
Yes, it actually does help. Just did it last night as a matter of fact, and I can truly notice a difference. I copied all the stuff on my internal sd card to my cpu. Took out sim and external sd just to be safe. Flashed to stock jf6. Master cleared. Put my update.zip and a rom on my internal sd and flashed it. Let it boot up, then transfered everything back onto my internal sd. Took about a total of 20 minutes.
[Vibrant General] Gigabytex:
http://blogs.computerworld.com/17649/android_upgrades

"Samsung swings into third place in terms of both overall upgrade numbers and average upgrade time. Samsung so far has upgraded only one out of nine Android phones that fit the criteria for our comparison, giving it an upgrade score of 11.1 percent. That phone -- the Samsung Intercept -- was on the market for 159 days before getting its upgrade. Its rollout also encountered some serious problems -- so all together, this score is not one to be proud of."

HTC came first with 50% and Motorola second with 15%.

At least it took first place in most waiting time..
[Droid X General] oldnavyguy:
Is it possible this will be ported to the DroidX? I will only have mine for a little longer but was still curious.
[Droid X General] SharkBaitDave:
I believe CM7 is a full rom, as in not unless the bootloader is defeated. So, id say, possible, but thats if they can figure out how to load kernels.
[Droid X General] ker2gsr:
the milestone has a lock bootloader and it just recently got cm6 so hopefully someone can port it over to the x
[Droid X General] tecknical:
There's been talk of CM coming to the X ever since the X came out. It hasn't happened yet, and chances are it won't happen anytime soon.
[Droid X General] Matt4542:
Me and another developer are going to work on this. CM7 can't be done until a Moto kernel update but CM6 can be done.
[Droid X General] oldnavyguy:
Thanks for the answers, this is why I'm switching back to my HTC Incredible. :-)
[Droid X General] wormeyman:
That would be sweet (cm7 & bypassing bootloader), this is why my next phone will have an unlocked or already defeated boot loader.
[Droid X General] drod2169:
+1

I started porting it a few days ago. Matt's going to be joining me ;)

It likely will not be fully supported by Team Douche (The CyanogenMod team) since the ramdisk can't be edited due to the locked bootloader, but it's still very possible to have CM6 on the DX.
[Droid X General] ejgilkey:
What's the key difference that makes CM6 portable and CM7 not? Ive been lost in DX world so I'm not up on CM roms.
[Droid X General] drod2169:
CM7 is based on Gingerbread, in which Gingerbread updates to the 2.6.35 version Linux based kernel. CM6 is Froyo based, which uses the 2.6.32 kernel that we currently have.
[Droid X General] Matt4542:
To add on to Derek, once Motorola updates our phones to Gingerbread, and gives us the needed .35 kernel, then GB should be posible.
[Droid X General] icreative:
Hm, and what about unlock boot?)= i wonna CM7 at my droid x. CM7 wonderful, on my droid 1
[Droid X General] Matt4542:
Your asking for a bootloader unlock? That's like asking for time travel :P
[Droid X General] iamrobk:
http://gizmodo.com/5736217/scientist-discovers-time-teleportation

[Droid X General] bravo1234:
According to Droid Life, kexec is getting ready for a release which could in fact bypass the bootloader and make CM7 possible?
[Droid X General] sephtin:
The kexec hack basically allows for piggybacking another kernel onto the stock kernel.. and there has been huge progress made in that arena.

Unfortunately, there are a ton of remaining unsolved issues with this work-around, including:

--Stability.

--Once running another kernel, for drivers to work (including the radio which means 3g and phone functionality), those modules will need to be reverse engineered and ported over to the other kernel...

--etc.

So, while progress is being made... it's more likely that any work done on the X getting "around" the locked bootloader will be used to continue this work on future Moto hardware such as the bionic.. but it's not likely we're going to be seeing full ROMs running on the X for daily use any time soon... :P
[Droid X General] bravo1234:
I can see how this works, but how is it that if say a phone running gingerbread of the verizon network using i am assuming the kernel for gingerbread, can't be used as a base for the droid x bypass? Would it not have the correct drivers, radios, etc to allow connection using the verizon network, or do various phones have their kernels stripped of everything but for that phone?
[Droid X General] :
Drivers aren't "to connect to Verizon" any more than your computer drivers are to connect to Time Warner Cable or whatever ISP you have.

The drivers are going to differ depending on the CPU, GPU, wireless chips (not just the CDMA radio but Bluetooth, wifi, GPS and FM radio), screen, HDMI, USB, sound, camera...

They all use branded chips with chip-specific drivers.

And yep, kernels are frequently stripped of their support for other hardware since it makes the kernel smaller and faster the less it has to support.
[Droid X General] papi92:
Per cvpcs the kernel doesn't matter. Gingerbread can work with a froyo kernel.
[Droid X General] drod2169:
technically it can work on an eclair kernel as well. there is a LOT of work that has to go into everything so that everything will function, though. a lot more than if there was a gingerbread kernel on the phone.

I couldn't get z4 to work either, but now visionary is doing the same thing.

When it works, it doesn't reboot, just goes back to the menu.

When it doesn't work, it reboots and moves really slow.

Any input?
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] wardfan220:
I've noticed that even Visionary has times when it doesn't take. Had issues on both my wife's and mine, I just kept rebooting until it took. I t did seem to take better if I left root at boot OFF and manually did it after it powered completely up.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] sapper3a:
I use Visionary to temp root, and noticed that root won't take unless you uninstall superuser before reboot. Visionary wants to install superuser when you attempt to temp root
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] adamr240:
I was wondering if that was the issue. I'll give it a try.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] cloverdale:
When that happens, just reboot again, then try the temp root again. This happens to me rarely, but has never taken more than two tries.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Telion007:
I could never get Z4 to work either but Visionary worked well on the Evo shift. It would dissapper though after the temp root so I kept a copy of the .apk on the sd card.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] burndog79:
visionary wouldnt take

finally tried z4... seemed to have problems, but it worked. go figure.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] nyeazyone:
i got both z4 and visionary to work on my shift but used visionary for the perm root process
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] goletaal:
Ditto. I had problems with both apps rebooting the phone half way through the temp root process. Z4 ended up finally working for temp, and visionary worked for perm. Whatever combo works, I say.
[Vibrant General] tarastaryo:
Hello everyone! I wasn't sure where to put this... I wanted to put it under the android development section, but didn't want to clutter anything. So, I am pretty much a noob when it comes to all of these modifications to phones. I have pretty much been reading these forums non-stop for the past few days, and the amount of information on here is incredible. Last night I flashed the Axura 2.2.6 ROM to my phone with no problems! I was amazed at how easy it was! All of the applications people developed are so useful like ROM manager and Titanium backup. You could never get these kinds of tools and info from the manufacturer. I am truly in awe of the smarts and talent the people on this website have. So thank you so much, for taking the time to create and put tutorials together, so people like me, who don't understand all of the programming language and resources needed to make something like a custom ROM come together, be able to reap all of the benefits my phone has to offer.

-Tara

P.S. I wanted to click the "Thanks" button on a lot of the threads, but it wasn't there?!
[Vibrant General] swehes:
Glad to have you around and glad that the Forums helped you out. This is a tight group (most of the time) even if a lot of issues around Samsung currently going on.
[Vibrant General] tarastaryo:
Thanks for the welcome! I look forward to what comes out in the future for these phones... as far as controversey around Samsung... I was part of the group that was dealing with Motorola and the Motorola Cliq. I was able to get out of that mess and switched to the Vibrant, and I feel like I'm encountering it all over again. I know the manufacturers have no obligation to give us updates, but then don't promise it! And if it comes, it's kind of like a really nice surprise! When companies make promises like an upgrade by a certain date, and don't follow through, of course people are going to be pissed! But, with the help of developers, we can enjoy all the benefits the phones have to offer. And probably, the modifications made by developers are better than the manufacturers would do anyway!
[Vibrant General] cjggilbert:
Welcome

Tara, glad to have you here, as you already know these forums are a wealth of information regarding your phone. I also got to the vibrant from a bad experience with a phone. (the Samsung Behold II) Follow along, don't be afraid to ask questions when you have them, as someone will most always be there to help. You may even find like I did that you don't need to worry so much about the updates promised by TMO and Samsung. Most of the 2.2 ROMS we have available to us now are already beyond what the updates would give us anyway. So I would encourage you to read, read, read through the threads and to support the developers wether it be Team Whiskey, Master, Eugene, or whoever.

But most of all, welcome

[Galaxy Tab General] openallnight:
Hi,

I tried out the galaxy tab at Costco yesterday and was disappointed with the extremely slow startup time. Is there alternative ROMs that alleviate the problem somewhat? It may be the deciding factor for me to purchase. The one in the store had 8Gig card in the slot.

I tried to search the forum for a solution before asking as this is a pretty obvious problem but there is a problem with the search. I'd really appreciate if someone points me to an existing thread if there already is one.

Also based on some threads I see that Z4Root does not work on GT anymore. Is SuperOneClick fairly straightforward and do I need to installa custom ROM for that?

thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I've never seen it as a particular problem because I don't often power down my Tab.

The TAB does not have any issue with slow start up boot. It's quite normal for any smartphone to take some 30 or more seconds to fully boot.
