I completely happy with the data cap. It keeps people from killing the bandwidth on whatever tower I'm using. I use wifi most of the time anyways, saves on battery and has less latency and is faster. While surfing the web on your phone has come a long ways it is still cumbersome to enter text and to navigate when compared to a laptop. It is my "accessory" internet device, not my main device.
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
In other words you are completely happy that a company scam people openly,by offering them Unlimited high speed data,only to punish them for using it.

In fact what kill the bandwidth on those towers are no the few tethering,(yes they are a few T-mobile say so since by claiming the majority of user don't consume 5GB) what kills it are the tons of people at the same time accessing the net.

You are been brain wash to think that a small sector of a community that do something,is guilty of the problem the community,when the majority of the community greatly out number those few,and every time they go in the network they consume bandwidth.

Who kills the towers.? you do and i and every single one of us who go online,because every single person add to the network,maybe you people should start learning how networks work.

Every one could stop tethering tomorrow,and nothing will change because they would still use then network at any given time,and will count as well always.

The real problem here is T-mobile that was even advertising 4G here when they did not even have such a technology here until recently,if they lie in one thing they always lie,and they will never come clean and say hey is our fault we have 20 million users on a network that only support 15 million so every one using the net to much is getting cap for it,or its our fault for offering something Unlimited when we could not live up to it.

Well at midnight last night my cycle "restarted" and everything went back to 0 usage... guess what? IM STILL THROTTLED!!! After 2 calls to tech support, they refreshed my network both times, and both times told me to power off the phone and wait a couple minutes, reboot and id be fine... still nothing, called again they said it could take up to 2 hours for the system to refresh... mind you this was at 1230 last night... here it is after 11am and still running at 40kbps... wtf t-mobile? If it keeps up, bet your ass there will be a large credit on my account cause they will get sick of me *****ing by the time 5pm hits today...
[Vibrant General] belial20xx:
Where may I find information regarding this lawsuit in the works. I feel what t-mo does is blatently an act of misleading customers. What is the point of having all of these great apps and advertising the "Larges 4g network" with "unimited" data if we cant use them but for a short while. I do a lot of work with people to help the out with pc trouble. At time I am required to use my phone to download programs and coding to repair the mess. If I am getting throttled when using a service the advertise i.e the browser then what? We have all of these data munching features we use and risk getting throttled to rediculous speeds that wont even connect to googles home page.

I also feel that they throttle users during peek usage hours to 256kb-756kb. I have noticed a trend and it is on several friends phones ranging from HD2 to the Vibrant.

Something needs to happen and tmo needs to stop misleading customers.
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
Eltormo,

Please read the PM that I sent to you yesterday.
[Vibrant General] eminembdg:
Wow, a thread this long about a data cap?

It's a data cap, all carriers have it. Get over it. I use my phone a lot , downloading roms, songs, programs, apps, even once in a while tethering for a friend or coworker. I've never reached the cap.

I understand tho that a lot of people do hit the cap, and that the throttling sucks. But nothing we can do about it really.
[Vibrant General] AEguyNYC5:
:D to that reply up there

...but :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: because I agree with this "unlimited" not being unlimited

I agree TMobile is getting real shady lately. I wonder who is going to start the class action suit, if that is even possible. :confused:
[Vibrant General] Dolphinwigs:
customer service or 611

speaking of shady. everytime i call tmobile im on hold for 45 minutes and still never get to talk with a live person anymore. i used to ALWAYS get a customer service rep. or at least they had the service where they called me back when it was my turn instead of waiting on the phone. been that way for almost 4 months now. WTF? youd think after being with a service for 8 years theyd treat ya better hah lol. i heard a rumor that it was mainly for people with vibrants and that other people tend to get in. anyone else have this experience?

maybe sprint will be the next stop for actual unlimited everything including data without a cap for the same price.
[Vibrant General] BruceElliott:
One problem is that our radio in Vibrant is not compatible with Sprint CDMA. Always something...
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
And in recent day i have to dial a phone like 10 times for the call to actually go out,many times i am just waiting to hear they ring,and when i look the phone is on the normal menu,it happen to my wife one and my daughters phones as well.

Maybe tethering people are making to much call as well.

Only a blind person will actually no see what is the problem with T-mobile,they have to much people already on their network,to the point were is affecting calls as well now,and that one they can't blame tethering people for it.:cool:
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
I just have to say that anyone frequently hitting a cap needs to face reality. I'm tired of seeing people upset that Tmobile doesn't let you get u limited home internet and wherever you may go. Why do you think you're entitled for $30/mo? I myself tether minimally, when I need to, and download things all the time from videos to ROMs since last July, never been capped. You're just living in another world if you think you can get unlimited fast internet wherever you want for "free". 5gb is a lot, if you're getting capped you're going overboard on useless things, possibly illegal (torrents) don't be cheap, that's why companies like Clear exist. And those that use for work, take your job a little more seriously and invest in internet service. No boss/client would want to hear how you couldn't send out an email because your phone is your internet source and you went over your usage. Wake up guys, things cost money, my buddies droid x offers tethering and as soon as you navigate away from Google it prompts you to buy a tethering package. I pay 20 bucks unlimited data and I'm very happy, yes 20, call customer care and they'll prob help you out.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Luckily I haven't needed to.call customer support ever since I've had my vibrant for myself. I did however call for my dads hd7 and only waited about 10 min until I got to talk to someone.

All you do is complain, why not switch to.a better carrier in your area and be done with it? Oh and regarding your posts about verizon being sued, I was browsing the droid.x.forum and as of mid january people are still being throttled there as.well.
[Vibrant General] ntellegence:
Stand for nothing fall for anything. If i'm not mistaken the cap was 10gb when I signed up. Did not know any of this back then. Now things are crazy and they will only get worse. The problems are between TV networks, cell prviders and the government. The truth is there is enough bandwith out there. The problem is who is using or should I say holding on to it. TV companies have a lot of unused frequencies which they could free up for cellular use but choose not to. Sooner or later cell companies will probally merge with tv companies just to have a decent network. Tmo fight them not me. STILL I have not seen an alternate definition of the word "unlimited" that makes any of this make sense. Education is important. Dictionary.

[Galaxy Tab General] VeEuzUKY:
Let me apologize for being a newbie as I come from 5 years of using Windows Mobile and just got my first Tab/Android 2 weeks ago. This is all new to me.

After messing up with some system files and factory applications (like I removed stk.apk and other things) I decided to do a full hardware reset. This is something I did many times in Windows Mobile... whats bad get overwriten in ROM and whats missing gets back where it was. But is seems on this Tab this is not the case.

After the full resetthings only got dramatically worse. All the missing system apps are still missing (I thought they be "restored") and nothing works, just crashes one after the next, cant use anything. I also tried with the system off the method of pressing and holding the “Volume Up” and “Power” buttons at the same time, then after recovery screen appears navigate and select “wipe data / Factory reset” and pressing the “Home” button, but after that and the system re-starts, same thing! All bad.

Can someone please explain to me how to do a full rstore where all system files, all and everythign gets back as it was in the Tab as it was shipped? What a flippin' nightmare... Windows Mobile, I love you!

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
settings/privacy/factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab General] VeEuzUKY:
No no, that doesnt restore anything! All missing files dont get restored. I need a full stock ROM image and restore EVERYTHING. Thats what I dont know where to get and how to do...
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Yeh i realized that after reading your post properly sorry man, i guess you can just flash one of roms found here, like rotos or modaco's JMI, that would atlest give you a work tab till you can find a stock samsung rom

If you dont have cwm installed you can flash with odin or heidmill (sp)
[Galaxy Tab General] VeEuzUKY:
Yeah, I enever flashed the Tab. Can U advise me on a stable "OK" ROM? Where can i find odin or heidmill and some sort of a guide to help me step-by-step? I have positively no clue what I am doing... sorry for my ignorance... I feel thoroughly stupid...
[Galaxy Tab General] noitu:
I got lucky and found this site. Hope yours is a Verizon Tab

I'm not allowed to post links. But go to google type in "galaxy tab system restore" and click on the "[How TO] Restore VZW Galaxy Tab to stock DJ11" link

It's in the droidforums. net
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
First of all, you need to post what "type" of Tab you have, which is generally going to be determined by your country and/or carrier.

Flashing a new Android ROM isn't a particularly complicated process, but it can seem daunting if you've not done it before - this is especially true when using Odin or Heimdall over a "recovery" based flash.

FWIW, the reason your "factory reset" didn't work is because all is essentially does it reformat the /data partition (a generalisation, but close enough for these purposes). On a stock Tab, you cannot mount /system as read/write, so you are unable to change the contents of that partition. This means that on a stock Tab, /system should never change.

However, when you root the device you give yourself the ability to remount /system as read/write and thus make changes which are not going to affected by a factory reset.

Take a look at this thread - lots of useful information there!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] VeEuzUKY:
Thanks for the link... yes Ive seen that master thread... I just keep reading from link to link and thread to thread and all gets more complicated, I keep downloading more files and installing more stuff but in the end Im more confused and positively going no where. There is not one simple, from start to finish guideline on how to do the process of wiping all data and installing a new ROM. Ive done this endless times on many phones under WinMo, and with more or less difficulty never had any problems getting this done. But here, the more I read the more utterly chaotically confused I am.

I am yet to have anyone explain what type of Tab I have. Its GSM, I think its Euro, bought in Hong Kong. I have found out all bootloaders and stuff seem to be cleaer and I should be able to flash anything. Its a GT-P1000 and Baseband P1000ZHJJ1. This is all I know.
[Galaxy Tab General] natious:
Its pretty much the same as mine then, so i recommend you use modacos kernel and rom and installing cwm

cwm - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870690

Kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925760

Rom - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941423

If you have and external sd card (one that you put into the side of the tab)

You can flash the ext4 kernel via odin, its pretty simple, there will be instructions in the threads.

Are you still able to go on the market? If so download the cwm app and use that so you get the awesome recovery menu and features, you can then use it to flash a new rom and make backups that are really really easy to restore. Seeing it looks like you like to mess around with stuff i suggest it the best way to go.

Hope this helps

:D
[Galaxy Tab General] VeEuzUKY:
Ok thanks for the tips. I have finally managed to get the Tab working again and flashed it with Roto JMI Pre-Rooted Firmware v2. All seems OK at this point. Ill check the links you sent me and follow-up. Flashing Roto JMI Pre-Rooted Firmware v2 with Odin3 1.7 is easy so I hope modacos kernel and rom and installing cwm are easy as well.
[Galaxy Tab General] silvatyrant:
A little off topic:

I just got my SGT on Friday and want to root&/flash custom ROM. Gonna definitely root soon...But thinking of holding off on the custom ROM until CM7 is stable or a nice clean Honeycomb ROM is cooked :)

Does ClockWorkMod require root? I know Titanium Backup does. Can't really do any "fun" things with the tab until it's rooted it seems. :confused:

Running HaXspresso on my wife's MT3GS -- awesome ROM, and she really loves it!

...EXCEPT for the sound that goes with the boot animation.

I've tried installing different boot animation zip files into /system/media but it looks like this ROM uses some other location for the boot animation.

So I'm wondering if anybody has ideas on how I can disable that boot sound?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etu_aty:
its under system/customize/resource/ its called TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3 if you have S-OFF you can just delete it using root explorer or some app like that, if not you can do this:

go into recovery, plug your usb cable and using adb type adb remount first, adb shell and then type cd system/customize/resource after that type rm TMO_Bootup_sound.mp3 (with the capitals and all, otherwise it wont delete it) and then reboot, it should be gone ;)

I dont know if there is any easier way to do it (u can delete the file from the rom zip file, wipe and reflash it but you would have to do a backup of the apps and all that so xD) if anyone know an easier way please share it ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blacra:
Cool!

I just didn't know where the file was located to delete it.

I ended up running ADB shell in recovery, but it worked out just fine. No more boot sound to annoy my wife! Yay!

Before I start I googled and tried methods I could and all failed.

My phone was working Link Hereperfect with no issues I had installed the DFT LEO Stock Desire NAND Rom.

A week ago it died and I charged it and powered it back up and got the white screen. It wouldnt go away until I pushed the yellow button on the back. Problem solve I would think.

Two days ago on my way to San Francisco it restarted and turned white. I tried all methods I found here and google none work. when I hold the down vol button I do get the 3 color screen and thats it. I attached an picture of what my phone says.

Do you post these nice explanations to inform us that stopping a device by removing suddenly its power supply is not good?

Then ok, thanks. Ask for a sticky.

If you're boy's phone can only boot in the first level loader... I think a week-end if long enough to make extensive trouble shooting :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
What was the version of MAGLDR you had anyway? The ROM you are/were running is outdated by today's standards anyway.

I would do a task29 and start over. Then flash MAGLDR 1.3, CWM 1.3 and then a new ROM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
If you get bootloader simply flash a stock WM rom or MAGLDR, whats hard about that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] isaiah33:
i tried flashing with task29 but it sticks at 0%
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Do not use task29 for your problem. Fortunatly it doesn't "clear" the first level bootloader.

Press the vol-down key.

In boot loader, flash:

a/ a WM6 ROM (to do this you can just put a LEOIMG.nhh on the root of your SD)

b/ MAGLDR (the version you need for the build you want)

If you want to put a DFT build. In MAGLDR (so press "end call" and start the phone... keep end call pressed) choose the option "USB flasher" (something like this.

With DFT (in admin) flash:

a/ a DFT build

b/ CWM

If CWM, boot in MAGLDR, choose "AD Recovery" (for CWM 1.13)

In CWM choose the option to flash a zip build.

That's all... good question, good answer.

All what I said if well expained in diffferent sticky. You will find there a lot of step-by-step or video explanations.

Hope this helps.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Digital Outcast:
He doesn't need to clear the first-level bootloader. You can see from his screenshots that he gets into the bootloader just fine. Task29 will format the NAND storage just as flashing a WinMo ROM does. The RUU does a task29 as part of the flashing process anyway. Doing just a task29 saves the time of flashing the ROM.

Either way, you don't "flash" task29. You run the command via mtty. I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're saying when you "flash" task29 and it stayed at 0%.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
What was the meaning of my "Fortunatly" :D

Clear the first level... brick the phone.

So for you task29 is equivalent to flashing a WM?

With or without radio?

(real question, I really don't know exactly what it's doing...)

I know that it "cleans" the NAND but it's not enough for me.

Anyway, I realize it will be better for me to read the dedicated thread or search on google.

For him I keep my advice to do all (task29, full flash from the beggining including WM). It's useless normally but as he has a problem...
