[Atrix 4G General] tonyantonucci:
Bad Pricing

According to what AT&T has said.

Something like 60% use under 200 Mb of data per month, and 98% use under 2 Gb per month. So they lie to us, and say they are saving us money by limiting us to 2 Gb.

That all crap, they are greedy as anyone. So if they were make and extra $15 or an extra $5 a month per data user.....they would NOT change the plan & rates.

We should INSIST on unlimited data plans (including tethering and WiFi hotspot). Its the only thing we should accept.

I am so damn sick of AT&T. Only I have to stay because of international travel (I need GSM) and voice/data at the same time (also GSM).

T-Mobile would be an option....but thier coverage sucks worse then AT&T.

Are you listening AT&T? -- Most customers already hate yoru service, you better be sweet-talking us if you want us to stay!
[Atrix 4G General] johnnydeathmatch:
I agree that AT&T could be the absolute best carrier out of all of them. Depending on what you factor as important, it already is. For example, if you want to talk on your phone and use it at the same time (as I expect almost everyone on XDA does or does want to do) your only choices are AT&T or T-Mobile. Coverage: AT&T wins this over T-Mobile, unfortunately. It was the reason I got AT&T when I first bought a cell phone back in 2003. [WTF happened to Siemens, anyway?]

If AT&T would improve a few simple things they could be the best carrier. Seems like they might be taking steps to do that now that the iPhone isn't AT&T exclusive any more. I got 3,000 free Rollover minutes today, for crying out loud! Plus, the new unlimited mobile to any mobile feature is nice, too. Add that to A-List and rollover and I will never run out of minutes or have an overage, which is nice. Thankfully I still have unlimited data, so no overages there, either.

If unlimited data is so expensive for AT&T, then why don't they offer it at $40 or $50? Or offer something like 6-8GB for $30, $35 or $40. That would be a realistic amount of data to have and not have to worry about getting overages. Or offer a data plan that offers unlimited but slows you down after 5 or 6 Gigs.

About the making an extra $5/$15 per user (like if they still only had unlimited), while 98% of users may be below 2GB, I don't think it's about the 2% that use more than that. I think it's about how much data that 2% uses. For example, lets pretend that it costs AT&T $10 per GB of data each subscriber uses. I have no idea how much it costs, but it works for this example. AT&T can offer unlimited at $30, and as long as each user averages below 3GB, they will make money. But, if a few users (that 2%) are using 50GB or 60GB a month (like I do, sometimes), then that brings the average way up. So, with the plans as they are now, they may cover 98% of everyone, but that doesn't mean that $30 unlimited will generate as much revenue for them as the tiered data plans do, thanks to that 2% of users (most likely XDA forum members :D).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john_sd:
Hello, hopefully someone can help me figure this out.

I would like to read comic books at the Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited site on my Desire running stock Froyo. The comics are accessed in a Flash viewer. An example free sample is marvel dot com /digitalcomics/view.htm?iid=5600

I have tried the stock browser, Dolphin HD, and Skyfire, all with pretty much the same result.

I can get comics to open and load in a flash viewer, and while I don't have great control over the interface, I can tap (or flick the scroll button) to turn pages. But after at most a page or two the viewer and the browser crash. I've tried similar sites such as Comixology (which now has an Android app, so less of an issue) and got the same result.

I'm not sure if this is down to RAM, cache, processor, or ??? - Can anyone help explain to me where the shortcoming is, and whether there are any suggested workarounds to get access to material like this?

Back when Froyo was announced and rolled out I was really excited that I would be able to access this site in particular, so have been sadly disappointed that Flash content other than video doesn't seem to work much on Android. Hopefully someone can help me get access on my Desire, and here's hoping stuff like this works on Gingerbread tablets in the future....

Thanks, John

It's a resource issue I would say. Desire isn't powerful enough to fully run it and so crashes. I tried it and it crashed for me. No idea about work arounds though other than use a PC.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] stshannon:
So i like the stock news feed thing built in.

I have many "topics" that it watches for, and it works pretty well

What I'm looking for is something similar, where i can input a TOPIC (not a source) and it will fetch related items from many sources... you know, exactly what the stock news widget does.

However, i would like it to pull MORE then just text/web articles. Id like it to pull video feeds off say, CNN, or Endgadget, etc. as well as the standard web page article...

AND present it in a nice UI, and one that maybe will let me sort by date, or somehow distinguish between read/viewed items and unread/viewed items.

Anyways, i know the stock news widget is CLOSE to what i want, was just wondering if anyone has found anything that's "MORE"

<fyi, i tried pulse, and unless I was using it wrong, i cant fetch TOPIC's, i can only pull from various SOURCES, and then, its everything the source puts out... this is NOT what I'm looking for.>

Can a G2's rom be change to GSM 850/1900

Trying to find out if there is a way to make a T-Mobile G2 that is supposed to be the same as the Desire Z run UMTS (3G 850/1900)

Specs say the G2 is UMTS 2100 and the DZ is 850/1900

Is it a physical hardware limitation? is it FIRM ware or custom ROM that can be changed/flashed?

I'm trying to get a used phone (Desire Z) but cannot find one.. I have a G2 and was hopping that a custom rom might allow it to get 3G in the other band so I can get 3G with TelCel. They use the same thing AT&T uses.

Am I dreaming? LOL

Hi just received my GTablet and have installed ClockworkMod v08. Next, I am attempting to install the TNT Lite Rom but I am having trouble connecting to my home router.

The response I keep getting when trying to connect is to the point of "Obtaining IP address.." then it disconnects. I am sure it's not the wireless router but just to be eliminate possibilities, I've even switched off all the security with connect to the router, but the sames results. It keeps trying to re-connect. I can easily connect with my other PCs and printers.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyuFDAC01:
Hello there,

did you ever solve your wifi problem, I am currently running the latest TnTlite, and this just started happening to me as well. It just hangs in Obtaining Ip then it disconnects.... I have never had this problem before in fact was online on the tab last night, now it seems i cannot connect... I will see if I can connect in another location hope nothing happened to the Tab..... BTW I tried restarting as what was suggested but that did nothing for me also....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaltieri:
Are you broadcasting your SSID?

Can you take the tablet somewhere else and try connecting at a Star Bucks, or a library, or something. See if it connects ok there?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJesus:
Also, if it doesn't connect anywhere. Try flashing a different ROM to see if it is just that one.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptgptg:
I've had the same problem. I do not seem to be able to connect to any wifi that is encrypted with WPA. At work, we are WPA and I cannot connect at all. At home, I have WEP and can connect. I thought it might be something with the wifi settings on the tab, and have searched and searched and cannot find anthing.

By the way, this is my third tab and none of them could connect to a WPA encrypted router. The first two I returned as defective. IF there is an answer, I would love to hear about it.

Also, this is my first android device. I have been messing with Windows phones for a long time...thanks to the great people on this site.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powercrazy:
Sorry to hear about your wifi problems. Just to let you know my experiences, I've (in the week I've owned my tablet) run TnT, VegaN and cyanogen (latest of each) and have never had a problem connecting to my home wifi - I do not broadcast my SSID at all and use WPA2/PSK encryption. You both mention WPA - can either of you try WPA2/PSK?

But on saying all of that, if you can't even connect to your wifi point without any security involved, it sounds either:

1) Hardware - faulty tablet but you said you're on your third so that sounds unlikely. Remember, while the tablet supports wifi G/N it does so over 2.4Ghz so if you have a router that only does 5Ghz or is set to work exclusively over 5Ghz, your router will not see your tablet

2) Software related - Have you reflashed your kernel at all? Did you possibly install a kernel (not rom) that does not have wifi drivers installed or something similar?

I hope something above might help you....
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bevbeng:
I was never able to connect to the wireless router. I shut all the security off, reset the router, rebooted the tablet but still the same results, "obtaining IP address" then it fails and tries again. I could connect to my neighbors Linksys so I know the tablet wifi is ok. I also so know that the router was ok since it had been serving my other PCs & printers for a number of years. It just wouldn't connect to each other.

The problem still persists.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powercrazy:
You didn't answer in your response above, is your router a 5Ghz router or 2.4Ghz? Could the frequency of your router be causing your problem here? Remember the tab only supports 2.4Ghz frequencies
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shredness:
1. if your tablet can connect to your neighbor's router, then problem lies between your router and the tablet.

2. is your router a linksys? what wireless router are you trying to use?

3. are you using mac address filtering? is dchp enabled on the router or by some sort of home server?

4. your tablet can see your router, but for some reaon they cant agree on how to talk to each other. i'm on a linksys wrt54gsv4 and havent had a problem, not with default settings or wpa2 or mac filtering or the custom firmware i eventually installed on it (ddwrt), tomato)

Something else occurs to me out of pure ignorance. I'm not sure how Android stores profile information. But I know with both mac and windows I've had occasion where "forgetting" the network and letting the device rediscover it has solved problems.

I had a problem with my wifi going into loops when I first got the unit. It would show it connecting/disconnecting/connecting/etc as described in the first post.

I had another router (both the same makes - Linksys WRT54G but different model numbers) so I tested the other router and I connected fine. I haven't gone back to test the first router yet and I am using the 2nd one.

The router I couldn't connect to has DD-WRT micro on it, and I haven't had problems connecting other wireless devices to. The one that is working fine with the g-tablet now has Tomato on it (it is a lower version number which supported Tomato).

Too bizarre... I now have this problem.

I received my gtablet today and installed clockwork mod recovery and vegan-tab ginger RC 1. Or, essentially, I followed the instructions here and got everything working. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

Wifi worked fine until the evening. Wifi is on, and in the settings under the SSID of my wifi network, it says Obtaining IP address for a minute until it says Disabled, network in range. I've done some common trouble shooting, like restarting, turning wifi off and on, forgetting the network and reentering password. That didn't work. My cell phone has a mobile hotspot feature and the gtablet CAN join that. I wonder what gives... I hope someone can help.

(This could be just coincidence, but it's about when I powered up my desktop computer. The desktop connects to the internet through a DMZ router that has a wired connection to the wifi router in another room. The desktop is now off and the gtablet still has this problem.)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnomePrestidigitator:

G Tablet Wifi

I do not transmit my SSID and this has never been a problem with any of our laptops or netbooks. When I first received my G Tab and tried to connect to my network, even though I had entered the SSID and Passphrase correctly, it still would not connect. As soon as I set my wireless router to transmit the SSID the G Tab connected without any problems.

This is the first time I've encountered a problem of this nature. Comments?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmay143:
This is what worked for me. I posted this in a similar thread as well.

Hey, I had WiFi connection issues too. I just got a Viewsonic G-Tablet with the Android 3.0 OS and have a D-Link DI-524 wireless router. It could see router and would try to connect, but would cycle and never connect. I could try to connect to other available networks in the area. It connected fine to an unsecure network, and when I tired to connect to secure networks there was a place where I could enter a network key/password. However, I noticed this option was not available on my network when I tried to connect. I reset my router which did not help. I then chose the option to add a network on the tab. This worked!! I was able to enter the key from the add a network option. I then told the "bad" connection to be forgotten. Hope this helps someone else, as I had looked on the internet for awhile for an answer. I was about to buy a new wireless router too!! Oh, I am using WEP too.

edit: ok when I power my tablet back on the same issue was happening. This time I could enter a network and the cycling still contiuned. I even forgot and re-entered the network. The fix this time was to reboot the tab. However, my internet has been acting up lately so IDK.

This is just a guess, but it may have something to do with HR3D trying to get some kind of device information from build.prop on what platform it is running on.

As more background info, I had this app working fine on Vegan 7 GingerEdition, and it works fine on VeganTab 5.1.1 Froyo.

I loaded AOSP Ginger with HC elements...modified build.prop with Sprint info to get some more market apps, and then restored HR3D and I've had this same message ever since...

I just haven't had time to play around with it quite yet, but I'm guessing that replacing the build.prop might get this thing working...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gaskell:
OK so starting from the start. I have an 8gb model without recovery mode that was full factory. I added the recovery mode using Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 thru odin and then installed speedmod-kernel-k12r-500hz.tar thru odin as well, somewhere rooting the phone before or after one of those (cant remember).

This 8gb model is flying and loving it, thanks to the help in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10973155#post10973155 and also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

However I got my 16gb model today. First thing I did was once again add the recovery mode using the Aries_P-SBL.tar.md5 thru odin. This worked perfectly. Then I installed speedmod-kernel-k12r-500hz.tar thru odin as well but the phone loads up the "GALAXY S GT-I9000 SAMSUNG" screen and stays on that screen. Now I'm stuck. I can still boot into download mode and I can also boot into the speedmod recovery. I used this to enable lagfix and root the phone but that made no difference either.

So preferably I would like to somehow clone my 8gb onto my 16gb (if possible), as the 16gb model is from Australia and has different options compared to my New Zealand 8gb model. Is there a way to do that? If not how can I fix my phone? I'm guessing I can reflash it with something else using odin maybe?

I would like to thank everyone that reads this post whether you can help or not. Taking the time to see if you can help is appreciated.

Well you should have read first on what you are doing before messing with the phone.

If you open kies and put your cabel in and then start the phone.

If you are lucky kies will use a service mode and fix your phone.

You can also try download mode and recovery mode.

Or install android sdk and connect it with adb shell and take out the this file /system/build.prop

In that file your version is written.
