[EVO 4G General] sling:
If thats the case they shouldn't be able to charge us for the new 3G 10.00 until contract expire or upgrade renew.

If they try it will be breach of contract adding additional cost thus many will be waving bye bye without paying early termination fee.
[EVO 4G General] illwafer:
you're right.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
its still on my bill :/

wow, looks like gameloft snuck an another charge on me. for something that shouldbe been free (buy one get one free special)

im done buying games from those clowns.
[EVO 4G General] Agent Droid:
This would be great as I havent used 4G the entire year i`ve had my phone!
[EVO 4G General] acme64:
actually they're adding the fee to everyone.

http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/01/18/sprint-add-fee-smartphone-data-plans/
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
It does indeed show up on analyze my plan. However, it's unclear if that's showing the old information or new. My statement cuts in a few days, and by the 19th of the month, the new bill is usually viewable. I'll report back.
[EVO 4G General] shagav:
The $10 fee still shows up for me if I analyze my plan. They must have just taken it off the front account page so it doesnt slap us in the face everytime we go to pay our bills lol :p
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
I agree with this!

Sent from my Evo while i should be working
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Just got the most recent bill. $10 still on there even though it's not in the sprint.com summary page.

Someone probably commented out a line or two of code..
[EVO 4G General] mattmulford:
Being a sprint employee, i can assure you guys that the 10.00 "Premium data(this is the real name for it") feature is not going anywhere. 4g or not, it is here to stay. if you upgrade or swap to a phone that requires a data plan, its game over. The only people that it is waived for are large corporate accounts. individual liable customers (that's you guys) will have to pay it. It is either this, or cap your data...
[EVO 4G General] jgalan14:
Yup it appears the way but they said that all smarphones were going to lay for it so probably that's y, I ma wait another 10 days to see my new bill and see what's up
[EVO 4G General] hiphopgamer26:
well...this got me a bit excited for nothing :/
[EVO 4G General] fenixjn:
Yeah I was kind of expecting something like this to pop up soon... and yes, I still have it.
[EVO 4G General] fast2049:
To be honest I think they should do a "Cap" and If you want above the cap you pay the extra 10 dollars..
[EVO 4G General] tonyscha:
I dont think its going away, its required for them to update there physical network.
[EVO 4G General] Fredrow425:
I thought the $10 fee was an smart phone internet/data plan charge, not a 4G charge. It's the same type of charge other companies do also. It is not just because you have 4G.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah recently it became a $10 charge for anyone with a data plan on Sprint to get this additional charge.
[EVO 4G General] the noan:
Solid proof being I bought my girlfriend an epic on Monday and the dude that sold me the phone told me that it would be an extra 10 charge in my bill for the premium data

Sent from my proof showing machine
[EVO 4G General] rdisanza:
according to Sprint, the $10.00 is NOT for 4G service, its a fee for ALL Smartphones. All carriers are or will be charging a Smartphone fee of various amounts depending on GREED. Sprint states that at least for now, their's is the lowest at only $10.00 month per Account per Smartphone. Remember when Blackberry charged $40.00? over and above all other fee's for Data plans. Especially on Verizon, ouch.....

At any rate, the reason its been removed from the statement is simply because its not a 4G fee and it can't be printed on your statement as one. The charge is still there ppl, its just moved to the proper spot on the statement.

A simple phone call cleared it up for me.........
[EVO 4G General] kamtsa:
Do you have a proof that the proof shows up in a different place?
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Proof is it showed up on my recent bill, even though it's not listed directly in my sprint.com account.
[EVO 4G General] vspike915:
Yea, it sucks. Although I'm curious to see how they differentiate between the 4G fee and the 3G fee. I'm not talking about to us current customers, but the new ones. That would be a great conversation........
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Not really because there was never a 4g fee.

Sent from my HTC EVO
[EVO 4G General] vspike915:
Then how do you explain the $10 fee that I've had to pay on my Sprint bill since the day I activated my EVO?
[EVO 4G General] Darrell1965:
I don't like paying anything extra. But my wifes EVO we have been paying it for about 6 months now. The real problem will accure when I upgrade my TP2, kids android phones. Then I am paying a total of $40 extra a month. At that time the family plans will really need to be looked at. I pay $180 a month for 4 lines on family everything data. $40 will be @ $220.00 or a 20% plus increase. So would I pay that to Sprint OR shop another carrier, with better tech phones (WP7 phones selection, dual core etc., better 4G coverage and speed). I will see in the next 12-15 months. I like Sprint, and would gladly pay the the extra charges IF Sprint really uses the cash flow to make improvements that their customers want.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Then howcome ONLY 4G phones were being applied this fee when it first came about, even though there were other smartphones available for purchase such as the Palm Pre, Blackberries, etc? When Sprint created this fee, it was only being applied to 4G phones. So yes, it's a 4G fee no matter how much you or Sprint want to mask it to be something else.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] novanosis85:
Premium data fee!

What don't you get?

This suck for family plans but for individuals its not bad.

Without my 23% discount I would probably stay with T-Mobile. They had great family plan prices.
[EVO 4G General] rdzlyz:
go to change my services. you can still see that the fee is still there
[EVO 4G General] nextohel:
Beautifully portrayed. :D

This is version 2 of WP7 for Android devices. Obviously this is just a change with some pictures, so I will not serve the 'flash anything. After the jump a little guidance and downloads

I recommend this change to users who have installed a ROM Cyanogen (CM6 / 7). of course also works with the senses, but I have not tried and therefore know the result.

My SGS was bought back in September. A new one (feb '11) was in my hands a few days before and I saw constant write speed of around 9 MB/s on internal SD. Mine usually does 6-7 MB/s. Are new ones faster?

No cache involved: big files and overall speed
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javalescu:
Same 6-7 MB/s.

I think is a very normal speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsinc:
Can anybody with a new one (January or newer) test it?

Connect as a Card Reader and transfer big files (500 MB should be fine)

If using Windows, wait for the transfer to complete in order to see the real speed
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
not a valid comparison.. empty file systems have higher speeds you need to have the same amount of crap on there.. even that may not do it depending on fragmentation.. really need to start empty on both and do tests.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dustintendo:
well long story shot she has a stock eris and is frustrated with it as many of us were befire discovering the magic of root and custom roms. my question is, for someone who isnt interested in too much besides having a faster phone, should i go the cyanogen froyo route or put xtrsense on her phone so its familiar? im having a tough time with this because all the froyo roms, as well as xtrsense are incredible. id probably go with either froshedyo or celb if i went that route.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianoob:
My 1st rom was xtrsense and liked it. Then xtrtenzomix which was better (very similar). Then I flashed tenzo2.2.1 with conap's v9 kernal, loved it.... best Sense based atom imho. Still keep that one for when GSB 1.2 won't cut it (has flash since it's Sense based).... but GSB is the best I've tried, but much different from what she's used to.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
For someone that "just wants their phone to work", I would suggest a 2.1 ROM. They also get the benefit of Flash Player as well in a couple of 2.1 ROMs (including xtrSense, iirc).

The "undead call" bug and the "GPS lost" bug, while infrequent, are still major annoyances - and they pretty much exist in every AOSP, CM, or Froyo ROM.

Update 2/16/2011 - I believe I have figured out the long-standing "undead call" problem, and have provided a fix for it. see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956091

Update 2/15/2011 - Both Tazz and workshed have GPS working now (from CM7 bugfixes, I presume). AWESOME!

Right now GPS only lasts for a couple of minutes in Gingerbread ROMs (well, GSB v1.2, anyway), so I wouldn't recommend it for a non-techie user at the moment. (Maybe that will change? workshed just dropped a hint he has something coming out).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amfetamine:
I always put CELB or FroShedYo on my wife's phone.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moos3y:
use xTrSense and overclock it

Easy and simple for the non-tech person
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhistlingDog:
xtrSENSE comes overclocked (710/245) out of the box, so you don't even need to do anything to overclock it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
Even though I love the froyo roms. I have to agree with btfb on this. If she just wants it to work id go a 2.1 with flash otherwise she might miss some things with the froyo roms. Just my thoughts though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
+1 xtrSENSE, I used it and xtrROM for months way back, and just a couple weeks ago returned to xtrSENSE after using various Froyo ROMs in between.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Don't look now ;) but Gingerbread on the Eris just got better. GPS working!!!!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Wah. I don't want to change back from xtrSENSE again yet! Don't make me do it! You can't make me do it! Okay, I'll try it.

;) Well, eventually, anyway.

[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
The last two weeks my n1 is having crappy wifi signal. I'm 5 feet from my router and have the dot only. Then it will shoot up bar then back down. If I put the phone right against the router is the only way to get full bars.

I tries miui and cm7 and both do the same thing.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Radio doesn't have anything to do with WiFi. Radio is baseband.

So, ask for replacement.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Can't. I got it second hand. Oh well, hopefully a new phone worth buying comes out soon.

Second hand shouldn't matter, as long as it's within warranty - you can get it repaired.

[Wildfire General] raniero1:
i want to root my wildfire but before doing it i want to be shure i could unroot it just in case i will ned warranty support.

so im trying to install the ruu, ive an italian small carrier wildfire, ive tried the h3g (that is not the phone carrier) and ive tried the generic wwe htc ruu (not thhe one for asia), different versione 14, 25, 37 but its not working anytime.

this is what happen when i run the ruu: the ruu after running says is waiting for bootloader, after waiting one minute it says error 171 usb connection so at this time the phone is in boot mode with the black background and the big htc write. i restart the ruu and this time goes on, but after saying its copying the firmware gives again error 131 client id and stop. after this the phone restart.

what can i do? do this means that theres no ruu for my phone to restore so i cant root or if i will i just wont be anyway able to unroot and will lose any warranty support?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Error 131 is generally issued when you have a specific operator Wildfire. You will need to create a goldcard to install the generic RUU then. Is your wildfire operator locked?
[Wildfire General] raniero1:
the only carrier customization is that theres only the carrier logo when the phone start up for the first seconds on the screen but the phone has no carrier lock or any other lock and no other customization, its totally a free lock phone.

just the phone is bought from a carrier that is like H3G and the froyo update too its not yet been released cause the carrier should do it.

its hard to do the goldcard? and if i restore the phone with a ruu that is not from the same carrier i will lose warranty support? only italian ruu ive found is from H3G, i know this is a totally not customized rom from H3G. Should i lose the warranty as this is anyway a factory ruu that will install the factory rom and is italian too?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Creating Goldcads is easy. There is a guide here on XDA, Just search for it.

As for whether you will lose warranty or not if you flash a WWE RUU, there is no way I can answer that, because, different companies follow different rules across the globe. Ex: Here in India, I am pretty sure they wont be bothered which RUU you have, as long as it is an RUU. (Coming to think of it, they are so unbothered they may even accept WF's with Custom ROMs :p)
[Wildfire General] raniero1:
calling htc tech support in italya they told me i cant change the ruu, if i put a different one i will lose warranty

theres a way to save the rom in my phone to revert to it? or theres a way to save the OTA to 2.2 that i will receive (i think this month) from my carrier to use it to revert to the official rom? or any other way to find my ruu from my carrier to download it from htc or web?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
There is a way to backup the original ROM, but, that requires root itself. (Nandroid, available in ClockWorkMod). Since there is no RUU available for your carrier, and, since warranty support seems important to you, I would recommend you keep your phone as it is.

Also, one more thing, when you update to 2.2 OTA, you will lose the ability to root.
[Wildfire General] raniero1:
yes i know but i think soon there will be a wildfire 2.2 new unrevoked version so if i can save or download the ota to use it like a ruu i could update to 2.2 than root and use the old ota to restore the phone

the first reason i wanted to root the phone was to increase the cpu, theres no way to do it with the unrooted phone right?

actually i think i got to wait
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
I would actually wait till the tool releases, before updating to the new OTA, because, there is a lot of uncertainty when the new Unrevoked will release. As for downloading the OTA, I dont think there is a way again (atleast as far as I know) , if it is not listed at Shipped ROM's. If you download it, it installs itself.

Correct. It most certainly requires root.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksurf:
on the market look up galaxy S unlock. Not All vibrants had the nv_data file or whatever it is that allowed them to be unlocked in that way If I remember correctly. Galaxy S unlock has a generic unlock method for the Vibrants affected by this. I used it, it seemed to work. dunno, since I haven't tested it on any other SIM cards, but it did backup /efs to the SD card and create the files as it said it would.

Its worth a shot, and comes with a way to revert back if issues occur. Be sure to follow instructions, Don't delete the files it creates on the SD until you test everything out and make sure you have no issues. This way you can revert back using the backup.

Hi guys

While I was looking for a way to get some more juice for my Leo I stumbled across these on eBay:

NEW GOLD XXXXmAH BUSINESS BATTERY FOR HTC HD2 LEO T8585

They range from £29.99: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GOLD-2430...073?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4aa8015b31 to £99.99 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-GOLD-1930...ries_MobilePhoneBatteries&hash=item1c18aede90 per piece.

Has anybody tried them? What attracted me was the fact, that they seem to be the size of normal battery and do not add any bulk to device - the only thing that stops me from buying other extended batteries widely available on market so far.
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
Sounds like someone is trying to sell a cheap battery at a premium price.
[HD2 Accessories] TheATHEiST:
There is absolutely no way I would put a Chinese/Japanese/MuckyKnees or any other type of Asian battery in my HD2.

Stick to normal or extended batteries or use less battery hungry roms or tweak them.
[HD2 Accessories] ez2remember:
Do you really think the biggest phone manufacturers in the world such as Nokia, Samsung, HTC, SE etc will not try to source the best batteries which have the highest capacity for a given size?

What makes you think these cheapo 3rd parties can somehow magically source or manufacture better batteries with limited resources?
[HD2 Accessories] TheATHEiST:
Exactly!

It baffles me why some idiots even attempt to buy 32GB (FAKE) cards for ridiculous prices like £10 lol. I was one of these idiots years ago when trying to find a 32GB card for my HTC Uni, when I look back I think wtf was you thinking? :D
[HD2 Accessories] skwareman:
The gold battery business is another attempt to cash in on the hd2 battery hype...

They know that the battery of the HD2 is a piece of cr#p and in our endless journey to get a higher capacity battery we get fooled every time...

I respect XDA members for trying all these different kinds of batteries and posting their findings on this forum :)

yeah its better to not even waste ur time with this fake battery

[Nook Color General] Melrin1:
I was trying to find a decent cheap tablet but it seams that is not gonna happen at the moment. I have read the nook color is actauly quit the good tablet. My main concern is gameing though and the nook isnt speced vey high. Ho does it run higher end games such as Dungeon Defenders and Spectral souls.
[Nook Color General] LK_Harry:
OC...

All the thing I can say about this device is that it's worth for $250 NOW.

If you have more money (over $500), just wait...not worth to buy GT yet(compare to NC)
[Nook Color General] LK_Harry:
It seem like I miss the point...

Game?

On Android?

Nothing can beat NC yet...

Check this video out

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXEZJSMrU1I"

But I can promise nothing about the future... Bunch of cool games will come out after Honeycomb...

In conclusion, NC is the best choice now. Otherwise just wait about 3 month...
[Nook Color General] Melrin1:
Well although i admit android doesnt have tons of good games yet there is a decent amount of games i like to play on android. I should refrase i would like a decent android tablet for a nice price and it would be nice if it could run higher demandinng games then my Lg Optimus V. Im not interested on spending 500 dollars and up on a tablet i realy dont want to spend 250 as i dont have a ton of money to spend. Im either think the NC or a Kyros. I could always upgrade down the road im looking at buying a tablet in the next few weeks.
[Nook Color General] LK_Harry:
Then NC will be your best choice...It can do lots more than game...

I guess it's the best choice under $500...
[Nook Color General] Melrin1:
Kinda off topic but hows the overall perfomence of the nook color then. Can it run live wallpapers. It seems higher speced then the LG Optimus V is this correct?
