[Droid Incredible General] loonatik78:
I used one of the DTR's on my dInc way back. I noticed nothing in the way of speed and it would tend to cause my data to freeze using Wireless Tether. I've never tracked my data too closely, but I currently run between 24 and 28GB a month on my Tbolt. If some throttling was going to be taking place, I think I'd know about it by now. Frankly, I'm not sure what it takes to raise their eyebrows over at the Big Red Checkmark. I KNOW I'm not the biggest data user either, by a significant margin. You can haul down a hell of a lot of data at 35-45Mbit a second.... I downloaded about 4.5 hours worth of MP3's today in about 5 minutes.
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
If they haven't been throttling until recently, then that means that its too early to tell anyways. I'd give it a month or two before calling bs on anything.
[Droid Incredible General] loonatik78:
His point is that even if they do throttle the data, about the LAST way they'd do it would be on the handset. So.... It's BS and he makes a VERY strong case!!!
[Droid Incredible General] byrong:
Many claimed that they were being throttled, and that DTR was effective at reversing that. Given that no throttle was actually in place at the time, there was nothing for DTR to actually remove.

Now that throttling is starting, the burden of proof is on anyone who claims to create a mod that combats that throttling.

Again, this is standard science: the null hypothesis is assumed to be correct unless proven otherwise.

Also, consider how the throttling is going to be employed: it will be dependent on your data usage, the cell tower you are connected to, the number of other people on that tower, the time of day, the network traffic, and your contract.

Verizon would not (and could not) count on our phones to reliably measure these variables and adjust speeds accordingly. The type of network shaping that they are describing can only be reliably done from the network side.

Do they rely on our phones to count minutes used?

Do they rely on our phones to count texts sent?

Do they rely on our phones to count data usage?

No. These are all monitored through the network. If they were only monitored on the phone, every hacker and his family would be enjoying free, unlimited minutes, texts, and data.

And yet, we're supposed to believe that Verizon would rely on a few easily hackable files to shape network traffic?
[Droid Incredible General] loonatik78:
Just to add to that, I'm not aware of any network topology that depends upon clients to moderate the shape and speed of the network, except for perhaps token ring, but what uses that anymore? As far as I know, every packet-based network, including IP networks, manages and prioritizes network traffic either from the top down on in a "flat" collective manor with the end client having virtually no input.

Hey guys,

Does anybody know if WiFi Direct is working on gingerbread?

I can't find a cooked ROM with this capability.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sridhar2malladi:
Wifi cast lite

There is a work around for this called WiFi Cast Lite ...just Google it and you can find it ....just like WiFi direct you need this app in both the devices to do the transfer....

The process is to enable hostspot on one device and connect to that hotspot using the other device and you are connected....then u can use the app to transfer the files ....

FC on HTC Explorer everytime :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatisreal7:
Totinsky, WiFi Direct was officially implemented by Android in ICS, but it sucks huge lemons and it crashes the phone all the time. WiFi Direct was finally stabilized in Jelly Bean (thanks to a certain little company). There is no official support in anything pre-ICS, I'm sorry to say. On another note, if you happen to get JB, we are building a proximity P2P file sharing app that uses WiFi Direct. The app is called Drop, and it is a simple, fast, and secure way to share files with people/devices in proximity. We are going into a limited Private Beta soon, so if you're up for the challenge, (and running Jelly Bean) then sign up at www.get-drop.com. Seats are limited, and we have a rolling enrollment, so check it out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregtpe:
Hey,

I recently bought a captivate with this At&T rom. I went to update the software, it wouldn't work, I was advised by the samsung tech to reset all my settings. Now I have nothing but a black screen with no options. What do I do to get everything back?????
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Which AT$T ROM are you referring to? How did you reset all your settings? Can you get into download mode by holding the volume and power buttons simultaneously? Did you try pulling the battery and putting it back in? Look for info on how to do an Odin reflash. Start with the stickies at the top of this forum.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineedaname:
Can you get into recovery mode? Did you install clockwork mod before hand?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregtpe:
I bought it off this guy a kind of know, so I'm not sure which AT&T Rom he had on there. I reset it it first by dialing a reset phone number and then by holding down the volume keys and the power key. Which I guess means that yes I can get into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
Go into the About Phone properties and see what ROM and kernel you're on. If it's a custom ROM then you won't be able to get any official updates. There are ways to revert back to stock and start from scratch, but you need to do a lot more reading in here before you attempt that. Start with the Stickies in here and in the Dev subforum.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregtpe:
I don't know how to get into the about phone properties. Once the phone turns on, all I have is a black home screen, I can't open anything, not even options or settings. Where do I go to learn how to reset everything back to factory settings. From What I see, I would have download something, upload it to my sdcard and then try to run that. but I have no idea how to do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
You need to Odin back to stock. Do a search, there's plenty of threads on this. Read them well before doing it. You need a PC and the USB drivers installed on it. The thread "How to flash a ROM" will be very helpful.

Does anyone know the exact resolution of the Gingerbread wallpaers? No matter if I get a HD one, it always comes out blurry, and I can never use the full image as Gingerbread asks me to crop it.

Thanks in advance

i think it is 960 x 854, could be wrong and happy to be corrected as this is from memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Try using "Wallpaper set and save", free on the Market. It sets your wallpaper without the cropping option and does a

much

better job of keeping HQ images looking HQ.

Alternatively (or as well), try the Zedge application. As well as having 1000s of great wallpapers and ringtones/notification sounds, you can set them directly from the app and they retain quality as well.

Hope this helps mate :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JDM Civic EG8:

Install nobars, it's an application that turns on airplane mode when you lose the connection to the network, after 30 seconds, 2 minutes, or I think 5 minutes. It then can stay in airplane mode for 10 minutes, an hour, or indefinitely. It's a great app and saves a lot of battery.

[Omnia 7 General] zarn1w00p:
Hi,

Really sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum.

I own a HD7 locked to O2 and my wife has an Omnia 7. I love the looks feel and screen of the Omnia 7 so I bought one that is locked to Orange. I need to get it unlocked so I can use my O2 sim in it. I have tried a few of the usual folks advertising for £19.99 etc. but they all say they can't unlock the Omnia 7/Orange combination, so I'm stumped.

Is there anywhere I can go or anything I can download to unlock this lovely little phone please?
[Omnia 7 General] CONTACTMC:
I would try asking Orange themselves, worth a shot, u may even get it for free.
[Omnia 7 General] zarn1w00p:

Sorted, SRS Tools and £12.50 did the trick :) It would be nice to remove the Orange branding from the ROM tho :O

I need to unlock my T-Mobile UK omnia 7
[Omnia 7 General] snpg:
Here you go: unlocksamsungonline dot eu/unlocksamsung/I8700

You have the option of two ways, the first is via a USB cable which is £12.50 and is almost instant. Or you can request an unlock code for £16 which can take 2-3 days.

I'm just about to unlock my T-Mobile Omnia 7, so I'll let you know how it goes. Just waiting for my phone to charge.
[Omnia 7 General] snpg:
Just let you know that it worked flawlessly (via cable method). Make sure you read the instructions they give you very carefully.

Also, it will ask once it has unlocked whether you would like the device re-setting. I said yes.

Once you are up and running with your new sim, don't forget to setup your APN, plus download the Network Profile app from Samsung on the Marketplace so you can set the MMS settings. When I opened the profile app it had my O2 settings there already so just clicked on it. MMS is working perfectly.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Silicon Knight:
I was hoping to find out why there is only one custom ROM (that I know of) that works for the D2G, that one being Fission, I understand that the D2G is new, but shouldn't it be similar to the Droid 2 (and theres quite a few ROMs for it) except for the dual radio bands (GSM/CDMA). I heard something about devs having a hard time with the D2G's main kernel...is this the only problem or one of the problems ? I'm Really interested in learning a lot more about custom ROMs for android phones, specifically the D2G (since thats the phone I have right now) and maybe even attempt to make my own (I know a lil bout linux and I'm decent with programming), but I'm having a hard time finding any guides or material talking about the process of making them for the D2G.
[About XDA developers] EmptyArea:
Just downloaded, and now whenever I open a thread it opens on the first page!

Edit: now last page.

I know there's a paid version which includes options for which page to open on as default. But to me it's not cool to take this functionality away from the free users or at least don't downgrade our experience with this I assume vastly unpopular default.

Edit: last page is definitely an improvement over first but why take away this feature from free users? To me this just says you can't come up with enough new features to sell your product to paying customers.

Needless to say I'm installing and restoring a backup of the old version.

Edit: yep, I'm still rolled back.

Also the market won't open your page for me to lower my 5 stars, but when it does *shakes fist*

Edit: the page opened, & I lowered my rating.

[About XDA developers] EmptyArea:
I'd say this isn't acceptable as the two biggest complaints are new permissions and the port of functionality to the paid app only. The fix is to reinstate the functionality and explain the reasons for the permissions. Neither should take much time and delays only further encourage users to pay to regain lost functions.

Alternatively restore the old app to the market.
