I hate to say this but this is where apphole had Android beat. My company is doing some pretty sweet stuff with iOS that just isn't possible with Android. For example Cisco VPN. It is built-in iOS. To get it to work on Android takes a huge work around. But it did take 4 generations of iOS before apphole got it. So maybe by graham cracker Android will too.

I want to change my Windows OS with a latest Android or other bugs free! So please suggest me with one! Thanx in Advance!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ..Xperiencer..:
Hi salmanrkr,

If it's speed,stability & battery backup is what you are looking for...then stick on to your stock ROM..believe me it's the best...

Also, you need not have to flash your ROM to run an Android in your X1....You can boot Android from within the Windows Mobile by having the Android OS files in your SD card...Basically there are 2 different types of Androids..one which require an ext2 partition(which is more faster) & one which doesn't need any partition(which is easier to run)

It seems that you are a fresher...so better try the second type..the one which doesn't need any partition...I recommend for you the F1Froyo 2.2.1 .Visit the following thread for the description and download link...(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844033)

Do keep in mind that Android for X1 is still under development..so don't hope for a bug free and stable android for X1..

And if you really want to Flash a new ROM for X1, you can try the 826x series ROM...or the Energy ROM..both are Windows 6.5 Build with slight difference in Interface..Both have Sense, a cool interface seen in HTC Devices...visit the following threads for the description & download link..

for 826x series ROM-(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734175)

for Energy ROM -(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562935)

Note : You can have your Custom ROM + Android in your X1....Also plz do keep a backup of your Stock ROM before flashing your device with a Custom ROM..

Hope this helps...

I'm having a very strange problem today. I reflashed back to my previous rom and now can't access my Google Account which has always worked previously. I can sign in to gmail and receive emails, but when run the Setup and I click on Google Account - nothing happens. Also it normally says "Tap to setup" and now it's showing google_login :confused:.

I also went to Settings>Accounts & Sync and tried to add an account, but Google is not one of the options available. If I try to access the Market thinking I could sign in there, again nothing happens - press market icon and it just returns to the app drawer. I have seen some posts and articles from endgadget where there were comments about problems being experienced with the market, but has anyone experienced this as haven't seen any similar posts?

[A7 General] Bama_Android:
I just received my A7 from and powered it up. There are no icons on any screen. Is this something I should just ignore and do the Dexter Mod? I haven't received the micro sd card that I have ordered yet so I'm about to make a trip to a local big box store to pick on up so I can do the Dexter Mod. Any advice is welcomed.
[A7 General] mskitty76:
This post is over a week old, so I'm guessing you may have figured out the answers to your questions. However, in case you haven't...

The screens on your elocity are blank so that you can customize them to your liking. In order to see the icons for the applications and settings installed on the device, navigate to the home screen by tapping the picture of the house to the right of the screen. This is the default screen, and the third of the five available (two screens to the left and two more to the right). From the home screen, tap the largest button on the far right with the square of dots on it (between the picture and globe icons). This will bring you to the applications screen.

As far as updating your device with the latest firmware or custom ROM, you'll need to wait until you receive your MicroSD card to do any of that. Once you do receive it, I would recommend using Dexter's most recent MOD. He's done some great work to make our a7s even better.

Hope this helps...if not you, maybe someone else.
[A7 General] RojasTKD:
Once you open the app drawer (by tapping the house looking icon), find the app you want to add to the screen and tap and hold it. This will allow you to drag it to where you ant it.

Repeat for each screen you want to add apps to.

[EVO 4G General] cd23murray:
I'm fairly new to this, but I have tried searching and couldnt find anything that helps.

The issue is 4g. It will connect work for a while and then the connection freezes (meaning it still shows a solid connection but doesn't allow any data traffic). If i toggle the 4g it usually hangs at obtaining an ip address, but at some random point in the future is will connect (usually 20-30 minutes or longer). This has been going on for about two weeks.

I am currently running the mikfroyo 4.4 (with built in kernel) and the current radios (2.15.00.11.19, 1.90_003, prl 60675, wimax 27167). I have updates the prl and profile every time I do something.

I have tried wiping and reloading the rom, putting old radios back, restoring to a NAND back os steelrom and mikfroyo and it is still the same.

Any ideas?

Hey everyone,

I have a pretty noob question that I've researched and can't seem to get a good answer for.

I'm running the latest FireFly ROM and I was looking into installing SetiroN's kernal also for a little overclock capability.

What's the process for flashing this kernal? Do I need to restore my phone or anything before doing this? Can I just throw it on my phone and use the SGS Kernal app to install it? All apps and system data are backed up at the moment.

Thanks guys!

Alright everything went very smoothly. I only have one other question which this may not be the best place to ask it but I'll try my luck anyways.

SetiroN's kernal says something about a universal lagfix (stuzpy's or something) and it tells you how to configure it but I can't seem to find how to do that. Is there supposed to be a new app for it? I don't have one.

Thanks again

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htcthd1:
For a few days I'm trying to solve one very annoying problem with my Blackstone (WM 6.1 Barebone 2.6):

After choosing for example "sent text message" in standard "Contacts" application, in phone application (I mean HTC dialer), action for chose contact is also changed form "m" (call mobile) to "txt" (send text message).

Furthermore - when trying to select this option (to send text message) no action is taking place.

Is there any way to delete the correlation between those two applications or set "call" action as selected permanently?
[Captivate General] bames:
Smart money says this is why att has been stalling the release of 2.2 for the captivate. To all those who speculate that the cappy won't get official 2.2 i offer counter speculation that they will announce the push sometime between the 13th after the bloatware ATT apmobile launch and the end of February.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
As far as I know, they have not yet announced which devices would be supported by this, and the requirements.

It's certainly a logical conclusion to make, but given the complete silence both companies have maintained, who knows what else is causing the delay (and of course, it does not help to explain why the Fascinate and Evo haven't seen their overdue upgrades either).
[Captivate General] foxbat121:

[Captivate General] sixstringsg:
If you have a custom Rom, then it's already in there without paying....
[Captivate General] bames:
most everyone here would be aware of that.

But that could be the reason for the delay. The official leaked firmware also has it FREE. ATT has likely been developing this to have a way to lock it down in the official release and force those using the official update to pay for the ability.

To me that is ignorant (especially in the case of someone with a capped data plan). For instance, if you have a 2gb data cap why should it matter whether you burned through your 2gb on your phone or through a laptop tethered to it?

That's the tethering we're talking about here. WiFi AP = Mobile HotSpot. I know in the case of Rogers 2.2, wifi APP will tunnel through a hidden app to verify your account before it alow you to connect. However, if you root your phone and delete that specific apk file from system/app folder, the wifi AP will work like normal. I believe Vibrant ROM is the same thing.

Although, when AT&T said it will offer a Mobile HotSpot app, I'm not sure if it will require another separate AT&T app so that you can not easily bypass it. If that's the case, it will involve devs here to update the kernel to add the wifi AP back.
[Captivate General] TommyZee:
Fox Mulder to Dana Scully

This all sounds like The X-Files to me :eek:
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Any wonder why AT$T is slow to release updates? Because thinking like this leads to abuses of their products and systems thus making them have to redesign the software to prevent the abuse. If you're tethering without a plan, you're part of the problem the rest of us users are having to deal with. Not to mention the network slowdowns all that unfettered tethering is causing.:mad:
[Captivate General] bames:
thats non-sense for 2 reasons.

1. If you are on a capped data plan. They shouldn't care whether you tether/mobile ap or not. You use your 2GB and go over you get billed regardless of whether the data was used specifically on your phone or a laptop via tethering. You tell me the difference.

2. I DONT ABUSE the service. I have had my phone since June and i have used mobile/AP twice. Both instances were severe storms where my home internet was knocked out and i got on via tether or mobileAP long enough to get updated news on the weather. I never go over the cap and over the course of 12 months might have 3-4 times when tether/mobile AP would be needed in the event of home internet being down in which case i am not doing any significant data usage.

3. The part of the problem with slowdowns is a provider not a user problem. Its called investing in your infrastructure to meet the needs of your customers. There is a need and desire for unlimited data plans (not to mention the only legitimate reason to have a paid plan for tethering is if someone has unlimited data which they no longer offer). You get charged $10 for each GB of data you go over your limit so why not let people on capped plans police their own tethering and pay for the overages when/if they use it. (for instance....if your capped @ 2gb and you use 4GB your billed and addition $20 ..so $25 data plan + $20 overage data fee...or $45 total the same price as tethering. So now what if some months you only used 3GB.....if it was all on your phone your data was $35....why should it cost $10 more or $45 if the data was moved via tethering. In summation the way the data is used is not relevant....it is the amount of data. I think even for those with "unlimited" data there is a soft cap @ around 5GB so your argument doesn't make much sense coupled with the fact that alot of the heavy data usage has come from iphone users with unlimited plans who are using a large amount of data via their iphone NOT TETHERING.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
So, tell me this: when AT&T deliberately disabled HSUPA on Captivate (you're capped at 300kbps upload max while iPhone can go over 1mbps upload), what kind of abuse AT&T tries to prevent us doing?

I use tethering very rarely but I want to keep my options open. My monthly average data usage is about 300MB. Compared to some others posted here that uses 1 or 2GB a day even without tethering, it is safe to say I'm not the one cause AT&T's network problem.
[Captivate General] bames:
Nevermind him...he doesn't have clue 1 what he is talking about.

Att themselves admitted that they data congestion and slowness was due to the iphone users and underestimating how much data they would be and were using. (most of which had nothing to do with tethering).
[Captivate General] nkrick:
Each of the major carriers are facing similar problems with the top 5-10% of people consuming a large portion of the data and causing load on the network. T-mobile addressed the problem by throttling data once you pass a certain point. Verizon just changed their terms of service today and is addressing the problem by throttling the top 5% of data users for up to 61 days (depending on where you are in your billing cycle): http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/03/verizon-can-now-throttle-top-five-percent-of-bandwidth-hogs-down/ . AT&T is addressing the problem with tiered data plans and charging per 1GB overage.

Personally, I wish the carriers would give you an option. Option 1, unlimited data with a $20 tethering charge and throttling if you exceed a certain amount. Or Option 2, a tiered data plan for a set price and no tethering charge, pay as you go per 1 GB overage.

While I know people will be upset if they can't get unlimited data + tethering for $15 per month because that is what they had with their old mediamax plan, I think it is an acceptable compromise for the carriers to charge heavy data users more money so they can invest it in making the infrastructure faster and adding more coverage. I'd just like to have more choice in how it works.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Because to AT&T that is all money in their pockets.

If you have a 2GB data plan, that doe snot mean you will use 2GB that month, or any month. AT&T knows this. They also know that if you have multiple avenues to tap into that 2GB, you will be more likely to use more of it.

I have the unlimited plan, and while I was on a blackberry I think my highest utilization in a month was 200 MB. Multiply that by a few million customers and you can see there is a huge potential for overloading AT&T's network if they all decided to start using even half of their cap in a month.

I am not defending AT&T's move here, but I can see their reasoning behind making tethering difficult for the average customer to get.
[Captivate General] halfhp:
The other carriers dont seem to have this issue. I dont believe they should legally be able to charge for tethering or doing anything else IP related on a data plan. They're free to charge whatever they want per kilobyte used or they can cut people off if they go over and they really can't handle the excess usage. If you aren't familiar with net neutrality then I'm sure that sounds like a scary assertion. It's far from a simple topic though and there is more at stake than ATT's rights as a company.

If you're on the opposing side of net neutrality then you're part of a much, much larger problem.
[Captivate General] bames:
2gb's is 2gb's. Charging for tethering is like charging me more for 2 gallons of gasoline in a rectangular shaped gas can than you charge for 2 gallons of gasoline in a cylindrical shaped can.

Even in your scenario....longterm taking advantage of your customers in a scam doesn't make sense and it still negates that fact that many of the high data users aren't tethering they are iphone users who do all of their internet use on their phone (including people streaming netflix to their iphones). If a user uses 2gb all tethering they shouldn't be charged more than an iphone user who uses 2gb all on their phone.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I totally agree. Charge for tethering has more to do with extra $$ in carrier's pocket than anything else. If your network can't handle the load, throttling on everyone is an acceptable solution, not just the top data hog. Top data hog can be dealt with a cap.

What I don't like is they offer so called 'unlimited' plan then if you use over a few GBs, they start to apply soft caps, either cut you off or throttle you down significantly (T-Mo). This kind of practice should be illegal.

I'd propose following data plan schema:

1. Two tiered: premium vs economic. Premium tier offer a 2 or 4GB hard cap at full speed. Over the cap, you can opt to pay $$$ per GB or simply cut off data connection. Economic tier offer 250 to 350 MB hard cap with much lower speed. Over the cap, you can opt to pay $$$ per MB or simply cut off data connection.

2. Throttling: if network congestion happens, everyone on the network at that moment get throttled down equally until the network traffic eases. Basically, offer a minimum QoS guarantee.

3. Get rid of tethering charge. It can be totally covered by #1 and #2.

Of course, it makes too much sense. No carrier will do it.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I've been in this and other phone forums long enough to have seen the kind of abusers I'm talking about. There was a guy in the Tilt 2/TP2 forum bragging about how he went and bought a smartphone online just to avoid losing his grandfathered unlimited data plan and was tethering to the tune of 13 gigs a week with a modded ROM. This forum is full of these kinds of people. They think they are getting over on the big, bad evil telecom company when all they are doing is making life harder for the rest of us who actually color within the lines.

I had that old $15 unlimited data plan for over 2 years with an LG Incite I bought on contract and then the HTC Tilt 2 I bought off Craig's List. I went over 300mb in a month twice during that time. Sure, AT$T understimated the impact all those iPhone users would have on their network, but that doesn't excuse or justify those who abuse the system by finding ways to use the network outside of the way it was intended. Cell phones are not supposed to be replacements for an internet provider. Tethering is supposed to be used for infrequent network access, primarily for business users who need intermittent laptop access for work. Not for tweakers to download torrent movies and music by the gig.
