[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troyy0206:
Yes, AT&T *will* shut you down *and* hit you with an ETF for excessive data usage on an "unlimited" plan. For one, they call it abuse, but most precisely they pretty much say there's no way you're going to download 25gb or 50gb on a mobile device in a month or whatever the amount is so they are assuming you are doing something to violate the terms of your contract. Guilty until proven innocent? Yes, but who's going to fight that battle? This did not happen to me, but I read about it happening to many people in forums and a friend of mine who works for AT&T told me he had a couple customers that got hit with it.

I like having the tethering capability, but it's not used heavily so I don't want to have to pay for it. With 2.2 I'm able to tether my tablet which I couldn't do with 2.1 so I like having it available even more, now. Hopefully by the time they catch up to custom ROMs having this and how to stop or detect it, features will have moved on and it won't be an issue for people like me. I'm currently using about 2gb per month, which I think is a lot for me, considering I use WiFi a lot. Pandora bumps the numbers up when you drive a lot ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeygutz:
I dont think they can detect if your tethering but like everyone else said if your data usage goes way up they might do something..i have unlimted data if i ever lost that i would switch carriers for sure as data is one of my daily task on my phone....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nstocke:
Just curious if anyone knows what AT&T is doing about Tethering on their new HTC Aspire that comes native with 2.2? Do they cripple it some way to force you into a Tethering Plan?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Yes but it is easily bypassed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nstocke:
What would be your recommendation for the easiest way to bypass their restriction?
[HD7 General] djteotancolis:
i tried finding some info, but was not succesful.

i want to know how to transfer my data from my old HD7 to my new HD7

thanks
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
What type of data are you referring to?

Most everything on this OS is sync based.
[HD7 General] pNoyr3D:
Everything should sync if you sync it with the same accounts you did on your last one. Everything should be on those accounts.

thanks for the replies. i synced and it transferred my Contacts, just wished i could transfer my text;s
[Epic 4G General] armada786:
This is my first post, so please excuse this if it is in the wrong place.

I've been lurking for a while now and seeing all the rage brewing in here over the lack of Froyo for the Epic. For now I'm going to believe that Sprint and Samsung are actually working to put out a quality update that fixes a lot of the original problems like GPS. This isn't really the point of this thread, so refrain from "warnings" about their willingness to update (it's pretty apparent).

So I will move on to the feedback I would like. I wish to know, in terms of hardware quality, how good the Epic is. I'm looking to purchase this phone based on the wonderful screen, the keyboard and the Hummingbird processor. Since I don't know anyone who owns it I have no idea how well it holds up. Has anyone had to replace their device a lot? Are there any sort of common manufacturing flaws?

I only ask for this information because I'm seeing if buying this phone for its hardware, rather than software, could be wise decision. If I want good software, I'll wait as long as I'm willing for an OTA and then I'll flash. Again, that's not the point of this thread.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I'm glad to be a member of this forum, so please take care of me (is that an appropriate thing to even say in this situation?)
[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
I agree. After making the mistake of buying the hero primarily for the software, only to see almost everything that made it special get worked into android by default, and having the official update take 10 years, but having leak based roms so readily available, I decided to buy based on hardware only. I stopped running sense pretty much the second I could, and CM6, and now CM7 are fantastic.

The software will catch up thanks to the devs.

I haven't had my Epic long enough for any problems to manifest, but no real complaints so far either.
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
I got my phone in early September and haven't encountered any flaws related to hardware with my device. :) All my issues have been software related.
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
This is just my feeling of it, I haven't done a technical breakdown, just using it day-to-day.

I enjoy it, I haven't had any hardware issues at all. The camera takes great pictures, the accelerometer is sensitive, the screen is fantastic, I've not had any issues with the keyboard (although many people say they have), and I've not had issues with the GPS either (again, many people say they have).

The people who I show the phone to usually have the same reaction to the screen: they are very impressed.

The CPU & GPU are really good, I have yet to have issues with them that aren't of my own making (like putting way too many programs on it). Every 3D thing that I have runs very fast on it.

Like I said, nothing technical, just a day-to-day usage.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
I think the internal specs speak for themself. I've played with a couple different android of friends (droid x, incredible, etc) and none of them felt as snappy as my Epic. As far as the quality, overall I think it's pretty solid, especially the screen. Dropped my phone in my garage a couple weeks ago, only thing that scratched was the plastic corner of the phone. Screen still looks like new and I don't bother with a screen protector. My only real beef with the build quality is the slider mechanism seems to loosen after some use but only to a point where it won't worsen. Only notice it when it's closed. With the keyboard out it's solid. I've had 2 Epics, because the first one had a faulty 4G radio and both we're very tight out of the box and eventually loosened like this after being broken in.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
The only hardware problem I have had is my slider. When my phone is closed and you look at it from the side I have a decent size gap between the two pieces. It's very annoying I just don't feel like taking it to get another one yet. Other than that it's awesome. The screen is beautiful and it might feel cheap but it's more durable than the evo. My wife has an evo and my phone can Take more of a beating than hers can.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Hardware wise, the phone is solid. But why would you possibly be looking to buy an Epic now? There are dual core monsters about to be launched all over the place and they destroy the Epic with relation to speed and capabilities. Seriously, read through this:

Anandtech Optimus2x review
[Epic 4G General] armada786:
Thanks to all the replies so far! They're very helpful. The reason I don't want to go with the new dual cores is mainly for price reasons and as a casual user I don't really know the difference. I guess the browser would be a lot more snappy but the battery life can't be great. I think the Epic will do what I want (gaming, good casual usage, great keyboard) at a decent price without getting left too far behind with the new beasts coming to the table.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akaly:
Hi.

Is it normal for the power/lock button the Desire Z to be lower on one side than on the other? When I'm holding it with the screen towards me, the right side of the button is kind of level with the casing and not quite as protruding as on the left side. Thus it's become a bit harder to press down when I'm only pressing down on the right side.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJBunch1228:
Ummm I don't believe it's "normal", but as soon as I read your question I checked mine and it appears about the same. Sticks up a little more on the left half than it does on the right. I know of no solution for you, but atleast you aren't alone!

It hasn't really bugged me at all, but it will now. Thanks JERK :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
I'm sure it's just from usage? I would assume that sometimes you don't click the button right down the middle and your finger will generally be pushing it on the right or left hand side, and over time, that part will sink in more than the other side?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akaly:
Well, I haven't had it for more than a few weeks so I don't think it's from heavy use. But as TJBunch says, his is like that as well, so it might be a "feature". :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moSess:
Mine is like this as well. I use the search button mod for this very reason. Minimize use as much as I can. Its a sign of use... with the mod, in the long run, I can prevent overuse. The nexus one suffered from a flakey power button.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruceko86:
Mine too and its a Desire Z. Never noticed until now

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
So I just pulled the SD card out just to see if it will work in my MacBook, and when I put it back in and rebooted, ALL of my apps and widgets have VANISHED from my phone. The SD card is fine and I can read everything that's on it with any file explorer and all my pics still show up in MIUI gallery but like I said, ALL of my apps and widgets are nowhere to be found.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way to get it all back without redoing my phone?

edit: Running MIUI, if that matters.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Sounds like your apps were on the sdcard.

Try in terminal doing a #a2sd check,

or if you're using apps2sd get an application to redo the file-like sym links.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Just did the check, it came up with a whole bunch of stuff related to Darktremor. Is there a way to repair the links from here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
Take a deep breath.

Start with looking for your status. Read the stuff that was outputed with the #a2sd check

Check where the * is in apps and Private Apps

Also check that the EXT partition is mounted.

Also do #a2sd help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Hmmm... both Apps and Private apps are saying that they are run from internal storage, with a [!] instead of [*].

EXT Partition is mounted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
#a2sd repair

That should do it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Just did to no avail, I don't think it did anything at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
So it seems you have partitioned your sdcard but have a2sd off.

The repair command should fix it if it was being used.

There may be a start cmd. Use # a2sd help with the space bar to scroll through.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I'm just going to redo everything. Going to use this as an excuse to update my ROM and get rid of that pesky persistant VM notification that I've had ever since I went to AOSP.

Thanks for your help bud, I greatly appreciate it!

Ok so tried using metamorph but everyime i try to set ir up metamorph just says i dont have enought /system space :confused:. I even tried to reflash the rom(wiping everything of cource) still the same result. So my guess is that till we get S-OFF we wont be able to use metamorph? (CM7 here *cought*)
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kwajda:
Metamorph nie działa ponieważ nie masz pełnego ROOT (czyli nie masz uprawnień do zapisywania w folderze [/system]). Dopiero AlphaRev w wersji 2.0 będzie przypisywał prawa administratora w pełni dla HTC Wildfire i kilku innych. Niektórzy już testują AlphaRev HBOOT S-OFF, niestety ja sam nie wiem jak umieścić do mojego telefonu.

Mam nadzieje że pomogłem.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] SynisterWolf:
Its because metamorph did not install 2 files to your system/xbin folder. If you have root explorer then navagate to your data/app folder. Find stericson.xda.metamorph-1.apk view it with root explorer. And there is an assets folder. Extract the 2 files and put them in system/xbin and it will work

[Galaxy Tab General] darrenjdoc:
I would like to change the boot animation on my Tab.

I know how to do it on the Desire HD and other phones but is it any different on the Tab. I thought i would ask first in case i do damage.

Thanks for any help :)
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
This was asked recently and it's not very straight forward where you could just drop in the bootup.zip file (or whatever the name is) like on other phones. The initrc in the kernel currently does not use this method so you have to unpack zImage, update hte initrc to use this method, repack zImage then give it a shot.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marcosxd:
Hi, a quick question.. If I am using a desire based rom (NAND) and I want to back up as much as I can (apps, configs, contacts, everything?) to test another nand rom without having to install and set up everything, what is the best way to do this? I am new on this. Thanks! I appreciate it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nobnut:
Use CWM to backup and restore everything (apps, settings, messages... everything)

Select AD SD in MAGLDR (or AD Recovery) and follow the logical prompts.

To restore, follow the same steps but choose 'restore' rather than 'backup'.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
Agreed, but if you have NAND rom installed without CWR, then you can use Titanium Backup program from market. Do not install CWR if you do not have it currently. As it will wipe everything from your phone.

On other note if you are not using CWR then start using it. It is the best thing you can have.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marcosxd:
But, can I use CWR with every rom out there? or the rom has to be installed via CWR to be able to recovery?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jalshah05:
You won't be able to use every rom out there on CWR. But there are only couple of ROMs like that. Mostly all the devs are moving towards CWR. If you have TMOUS HD2 then i would recommend 400MB partition CWR, so you will not have to edit those partitions for different ROMs.

And just in case you want to try new NAND build which does not have CWR version, you can definitely do that. Later you can install CWR again and get your old ROM back after you try new one.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] marcosxd:
Ok, thing is right now I am on a build installed via DAF, and I want to try another one, I will search more about CWR and make a full backup with Titanium pro.. thanks for the advice!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youareme7:
I'm curious if anyone has seen any information on whether the Xoom will have the wifi direct certification that came out last fall; it would be a nice little added feature that I would be glad to see start showing up in more devices. It doesn't seem like many have talked about it so far though but the possibilities are pretty amazing.

For those that don't know what it is, WiFi direct is like a streamlined Ad-hoc connection protocol for wifi that lets devices "talk" to each other directly without the need for a router. (think bluetooth, but with wifi strengths) Some good usecases for it would be to directly connect to a computer to transfer files, stream things or basically communicate in any way directly. I'm personally pretty excited about using it.

Here's a link to the wifi alliance page that talks about it:

http://www.wi-fi.org/Wi-Fi_Direct.php
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khov07:
Nope, the official Moto spec sheet doesn't mention it, but who knows...
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
Not entirely. I spent the last week getting full functionality. However, not all of the modifications are in the nightlys. Partly because Google has not fully developed the advanced settings menu. Just know this, xoom is fully capable of all that wifi-direct has to offer. And eos will likely be the first android build with full implementation.

[Desire HD General] sectorek:
hi guys, since yesterday i have strange things going on with my phone. Desire automatically turns on and then turns off screen. Sometimes it turns on Car Mode as well. Don't know whats going on. Today I flashed Desire HD with Revolution 2.0.9 but i have still this same reaction...

Any idea whats going on?
[Desire HD General] Sebastian768:
Might be unrelated, but my HTC Legend (Froyo) does this all the time. It's either an Android bug or more likely a Sense bug.
[Desire HD General] jooonu:
.....or it might be a battery isssue. I had that problem a few days ago, couple of restarts, strange behavior. I took off the battery, then placed it back again and checked the battery cover. Since battery in DHD slides inside, there might be a slight movement in battery compartment. Its my guess. In my case it helped.

[Windows Phone 7 General] bobbyjimmy:
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if swapping out the card to a class 6 will improve the image quality for pics and vids on the HD7???

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tachi91:
Technically No.. Since the quality of the images/video depend on the hardware that takes it and the software that renders it.. So changing the SD Card won't improve nothing besides the Capacity (if larger) and maybe the read/write speeds

For it to improve Microsoft would have to fix any bugs within the Camera app..
