[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
was it working before? go to the main phone settings, application, development, uncheck usb debugging.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltk96:
yeah of course it was working before, i've already tried that, and i've tried flashing some other rom...and currently i'm on the stock ROM...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
next step would be to plug it in via the same usb into another computer. the last step would be to wipe data/factory reset the phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
I had this problem as well, what fixed it for me was plugging it into a computer running XP. After that, it worked fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltk96:
i have just tried it on XP, it got usb error message in the xp, it says usb device not recognized....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltk96:
unfortunately i have already tried all of that...-/
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltk96:
are there any other suggestions.....? i'm really frustrated....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Proteus27:
please help! having the same problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
This is not going to fix the usb not being recognized issue but is a alternate option. I have a working usb but choose not to use it unless have to.

I use my dropbox account. I download all files there and when I want to flash just sync to phone and flash rom, kernel & theme
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mltk96:
at the moment the phone is stocked and is not rooted...so without approach to the sd card from the pc, i will not be able to root it nor flash any ROM....
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
If you have tried all option then looks like may need a replacement. I don't have the black tie program but there are treads on the return policy
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolomgwtf:
I'm pretty new to this phone, but the other day, I had to hard reset it.. The problem is, that when i'm texting people in conversation mode, when i send a message, it doesn't appear at the bottom of the list like it should, but rather at the top, with all my other sent messages..

This is getting rather annoying, because if i forget what I've text, i have to scroll all the way up to the top to see what i put..

Is there a way to fix this? I've tried deleting the thread, and it still does the same thing :/

Help would be appreciated! :D

I have a T-mobile Vibrant that i need to unlock for ATT but it doesnt want to unlock. Ive searched multiple ways to unlock it but they all seem to require a tmobile sim card which i do not have. Is there a Method i can unlock the phone without a Tmobile sim...Ive tried SGS Unlock too but keep on getting the Unknown Error.

Use the NexusKang LWP from the market and download the default honeycomb wallpaper from the SDK. Set it as your custom background and use the color scheme SoftBlues. Really looks sick.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Zardos66:
Does it affect battery life drastically? Ive been using Starfield lately and its awesome with the black background with the stars flying by. It uses little to no extra battery.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
Live wallpapers will always increase battery drain. Better coded ones use less but it's still going to be significantly more than a conventional one.

The new Nexus S LWP's are really good on battery,very little drain...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fchipm:
On that screen I'm using

Turtle Photo Frame - cycles through photos in a specified folder. It's really nice and light on battery.

Widgetsoid 2.x for battery indicator

Beautiful Widgets 1x1 for weather

Digital Clock Widget for time - have it linked to Alarms.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] fchipm:
As someone said it all really depends on the coding of the LWP - the one I've recommended is NexusKang. It's a TeamDouche creation which means you can count on it being well written. At the end of the day it uses about 2-4% of my total battery drain.

Hey guys,

About a month ago (Jan 20 I seem to recall) T-Mobile had an offer where you could get a free upgrade to a G2, only on their website.

My family had three G1s on our plan that were past due for an upgrade, since December, so we jumped at this offer.

We couldn't get the site to work, however, so we called in and a representative assured us that we would be able to get the three phones for free. We would have to call back the next day to do so, though.

After calling back the next day, we received another representative who told us that the offer was an error and shouldn't have been put online. Our response was simple- That's your problem, we agreed with the other representative in good faith and we should not have to pay for an error on your end.

After waiting about a week for that other representative to look at the call logs (which he never found, by the way), he called back and told us that since we've been waiting for so long and he never found the logs, we could have all three phones for free. We already knew there was an upgrade fee of $18 that we would have to pay, that's fine.

Now, a month later, on our bill we have three charges of "One Time charge for Handset Upgrade Revenue" that amount to $199.00 each. That makes our total bill for this month a whopping $1000.

This is far from "free" that we were promised. I am hoping it's a mistake on their end, but if I call them up and they start throwing in all of these excuses and explanations for why a "free" phone isn't free, is there some sort of agency for Customer Fair Treatment or something that we can report them to, or is there legal action that we can take?

Please, if you have any other advice or tips, it is greatly welcomed.

Hope to hear a response.

-Proxin

Sorry to hear about this. I've had a few issues with tmobile in the past 5 years i've been a customer, they've always been pretty good about resolving things to my satisfaction. I'd suggest a few things:

-If you have a twitter account, tweet something about your problem to @tmobile. It might not sound like much, but tmobile has some very active people working on twitter. When i had an issue around a year ago with my minutes and texts vanishing without being used, a tweet was really all it took to get the ball rolling. I got a direct message back within an hour, and recived a call the next day to let me know the glitch was fixed and offered me compensation.

-The Consumeris (consumerist.com) is a consumer advocacy blog. I've seen lots of stories on there similar to what you're dealing with (many from other providers too). From the stories i've read companies such as tmobile pay close enough attention to the site, and are quick to resolve any kind of issues that could result in bad press.

-If all else fails, last i checked tmobile offers a buyers remorse period of 30 days (might be less), if you arent happy with your phone for any reason, you can return it within that time.

I'd reccomend calling them and telling them if the issue can not be fixed you would like to return the phones. Another thing to maybe metion, if you where up for new phones, then your contract must have also been renewed, perhaps this could be considered a breach of contract on their part and you could mention that in a way that suggests you're thinking of ditching your contract over this (just say something like "verizon has the same deal in store").

Hope some of that helps. Good luck!
[General Topics] Andrew.Dodson07:
Honestly, if they can't fix the issue, tell them you want to be transfered to the loyalty department because you want to cancel. Those guys can fix anything. If you still aren't happy, file a claim with the better business bureau.
[General Topics] Superbovine:
Agreed, call customer service and get with the "omgtheyregoingtocancelwtf" department and they will likely fix it. That or give the phones back. If they made a mistake they made a mistake, it doesn't entitle you to anything... if they are willing to fix it and let you keep them, then awesome.

More importantly though...

File complaints with both the BBB and FCC. I had an issue with Sprint not honoring a discount coupon I used when I signed up and kept getting the runaround, but a BBB and FCC complaint led to someone higher up to contact me and get the matter resolved. Based on some google searching, it does appear T-Mobile responds to FCC complaints.
[General Topics] Proxin:
Interesting... I don't think the buyers' remorse thing would work, cause we have had the phones for over 30 days... and offering to give them back would be bad on our end because honestly, we love these new phones! :p

But yeah, the breach of contract you mentioned is a good point. We renewed our contracts so that we could get these phones, and if they take the phones back yet keep us locked in contract, I'm certain that the groups mentioned by the other posts (BBB and FCC) could help us out.

Awesome. It makes me happy that there are companies who are willing to stick up for customers.

That Does make it look like less, haha. To clarify-

$199 x 3 = 600.00

+ 120.00 tax

+ 250.00 phone bill

+ 18.00 upgrade fee x 3

plus various charges

= $1000

Thank you very much. I hope either or both of these can help if the situation turns into something nasty.

I have to harass them to make sure they apply discounts or whatever, and they tried to wiggle out of my student discount when I activated my line...

Ah well. They're almost half the price of Verizon and my service is pretty good here.
[General Topics] Proxin:
We just called T-Mobile and a representative confirmed it was a mistake and dropped the charges. :)

We still have to wait until the next billing cycle to see for sure, but I think this has been resolved.

Thank you all for your advice and replies. :)

[Atrix 4G General] madd_dogg_914:
I've seen this question asked a few times, and I just wanted to let everyone know that it seems to work just fine. I got this phone yesterday, and I tried turning on tethering. I got a status update in the notification area saying my plan didn't support the feature, so I created a custom APN using standard AT&T settings, and I tried again, and sure enough, it fired right up and I had two other devices sucking down data in no time. I bought the Inspire 4G last week, and it also worked with the custom APN, just like my Nexus One out of the box.

Just thought everyone would like to know.

Chris
[Atrix 4G General] rodimus_prime:
how the heck did you get it yesterday, heck I work in a store and we dont even have a demo yet

pdanet is also a great app you can get that should allow it to do that as well without changing system settings, all you have to do is check usb debugging

It would be great if you could of included the APN information in the post so I wouldn't have to go hunt for it since you had it anyways... Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] madd_dogg_914:
Sorry, I didn't think about it. Here is a step by step:

Port: leave blank

Username:WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS Port: 80

MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC:310

Authentication Type: leave blank

APN Type: leave blank

Menu - Save, then select New APN (AT&T) You should see a green dot next to it, and it should be labeled under AT&T as wap.cingular. Go back to home screen and check internet connection is active. Once you verified internet is working, power off phone, then power on. Phone should still have active internet connection, if it does, you are done!

So you're saying I don't need to root in order to allow for tethering at no extra cost? Am I reading this right?! When I get mine on Monday I was planning on rooting it for the sole purpose of tethering to my iPad like I currently do with my jail broken iPhone using MyWi. I have unlimited as well.
[Atrix 4G General] khoop:
good question Joelpatrick, I wanna know the same.
[Atrix 4G General] madd_dogg_914:

[Atrix 4G General] Fixter:
This method did not work for me my friend. It hangs up at Setting up Data Link. I put everything exactly as you said. And nothing. I do have an active data connection at the moment so I know I did everything right.

Edit: I changed the Port to 80 and everything went by smooth.
[Atrix 4G General] csyrell:
AT&T Exclusive Content

This is great info. Will also likely help when hopefully new ROM's are built. There are websites that offer exclusive content for AT&T subscribers, and when I've flashed on past phones, I'd lose that access. However, I found that making changes like this would bring it all back.

Great work!

[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
I'd actually be hoping this works without them being able to notice, so that they don't voluntarily slap one of their tethering packages onto your plan and then you'd be kissing your unlimited data plan goodbye...

[Atrix 4G General] rx7freak:
Before it went through did it say anything on youse guys' phones about verifying account or anything to that effect? Mine said something like that then came online, but I didn't sign up for tethering, and I can't check my olam to see if I got crammed with it.
[Atrix 4G General] atrixuser1:
Atrix now working with default settings

Hey guys,

I followed this method yesterday and it worked flawlessly. (I created a new AP profile so I could revert back to normal when I wasn't using the hotspot.)

Before Trying this method, I tried to enable the hotspot and it gave me an error.

I don't recall it off hand, Something like not enabled or provisioned.

Created the new one and it worked :) Switched back to the old one and it didn't.

(As of last night) Today I decided I would try it again on the normal setting and it worked!!! Did Atnt open this up to us or did a change happen in my account adding tethering....I'm not sure as I have not called them.

I should be on Unlimited 4g. On a side note is H+ atnt's 4g network symbol?

Enjoy your new phone! I am :D
[Atrix 4G General] Xarinn:
according to the Icon guide, that's correct. Mine's showing H+ in San Diego, both out in the real world and at home on the Microcell. I'm getting real world speed tests from 2.5-3.3Mbps, and on the microcell, well, that's a whole different rant about throttling the data that i'm providing and being counted for twice.

Haven't seen it drop to 3G, but have seen it drop to EDGE driving through the deadzones around my house (which is why we have a microcell).
[Atrix 4G General] atrixuser1:
Thanks Xarinn,

I might as well be in the boonies compared to San Diego, I show "4g" all over my daily beaten track. Thats a surprise! although the speed suck... I am getting .50mb - 1 mb down and .10mb - .15mb up..

I used the Wifi Hotspot function for like 2 hours today and boy did it use alot of power. I had a nook connected and a Iphone for a little bit.

The nook was pretty snappy pulling pages... not as fast as I am used too...30mb

This could be way better. I would hate to see what a couple high bandwidth users on the wifi hotspot would be like.

I hope things work out for us regarding this, as I would love to take my laptop and work on my lunches away from "work".
[Atrix 4G General] KryptosXLayer2:
I couldn't get my Mobile Hotspot function working on the other thread for a while, then found this, original thread and got it fired up nicely. Some things I wanted to add since someone asked about SSID.... Make sure you go into the settings and change the SSID and set it to WPA2-PSK protection. Remember, just like most Mobile Hotspot applications on the phones, the password requires a 10 digit numerical entry, so "password1" isn't gonna fly this time around....
[Atrix 4G General] Xarinn:
I've got mine set up to WPA2-PSK and it only required 8 alphanumeric characters, and it seems to work. Isn't it WEP that requires Hex only (0-9 a-f)?
[Atrix 4G General] johnnobts:
anyone use this method to activate tethering and then try it with the laptop dock? let me know your findings. Also, can't ATT detect if you aren't a tether plan subscriber and are using this apn?
[Atrix 4G General] Jnewell05:
I cant seem to get the laptop dock to work with this also I used default for apn type other wise the hotspot would not start all the way. Anyone else able to use the laptop dock with out the tethering plan?

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4g XDA app.
[Atrix 4G General] KryptosXLayer2:
I stand corrected! I tried using a bunch of different alphanumeric entries and the "Save" button was still grayed out, signifying that my passwords weren't long enough OR weren't all numerical. But I have seen my mistake now, thanks for correcting me!
[Atrix 4G General] Sharkonwheels:
I just use what I did with the Captivate: Root it, and use android-wifi-tether app. (currently android-wifi-tether-2.0.7pre1 on the Atrix. No access control, though).

I'm a bit leery of using AT$T/Moto tethering app - who knows what it's doing, or reporting.
[Atrix 4G General] Bob Simons:
Quick question: I tried your settings and they work on my phone but I did not see the item <MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0> in my settings list. It also took over 10 minutes to set up the first time but it worked, with DL speeds between 2.5 and 2.5, and up speeds somewhere around 300k.

Thanks again for the info
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
It works and all but Anyone else worried that everytime you fire it up you must click on the disclaimer that states you must have a tethering plan etc?
[Atrix 4G General] matt2053:
Yeah my dad has a grandfathered unlimited plan and got an Atrix and I showed him how to do this. I hope I didn't F him!
[Atrix 4G General] tchan012:
I was able to do so by going to the settings icon in webtop (left of wifi) - then advanced and then network proxy and change it from cellular to default

New Atrix

I just picked up my Atrix on the way home today. Coming from the iPhone as a result of rooting a nook and really liking the Android OS.

I tried this and it worked fine with the nook, until I rebooted the phone, then it would give me the blue icon, only red.

I made some changes and it worked again, no reboot.

I am also missing one of the options listed.

Hope this continues to work....
[Atrix 4G General] KryptosXLayer2:
Worked fine for me today...... weird!
[Atrix 4G General] DukeL:
Yep very hit and miss for me today, I was able to get it working twice. Every thert timwe it just gets stuck on "wifi hotspot turning on setting up data link" and no go.:(
[Atrix 4G General] travelrobrob:
My search fu is failing me...I am trying to determine if there is a neg consequence to always utilizing the APN created to make the hotspot work.

Should this APN only be enabled when needing a hotspot or do you guys set it and forget it?
[Atrix 4G General] vetitum1:
As far as I can tell there aren't any negative consequences to using the "new" APN full-time. I'm doing just that with the laptop dock and can use it and wifi tethering simultaneously. Of course, it would help if I was actually getting anything resembling 4G speeds in Denver.
[Atrix 4G General] mmeads:
Same here. I got a blue icon yesterday. But today all I get is the orange icon with the "...data link" message.

Thoughts? On another solution? Root and install an app from the Market?
[Atrix 4G General] MrLeon:
Mines would hang up on "setting up a data link" too, but i was able to get it to go through by putting the phone in airplane mode, and then turning airplane mode off while it tries to set up data link.

i stumbled that solution by mistake trying to figure out how to remove the orange icon without rebooting
[Atrix 4G General] busydoinnothin:
I tried doing this last night, I got the blue icon as soon as I created the new APN. After rebooting I got nothing...waited for about 8 or so minutes and finally gave up. I'll probably give it another try tonight...

Thanks for the info.
[Atrix 4G General] s1mpd1ddy:
usually if it hangs on the orange icon, I go back into the APN profile I created for the tethering and re"save" it. Then not too shortly tethering activates.
