[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
my thinking about the contract change would be that there would be no specific feature on your plan allowing the mobile hotspot for the thunderbolt, it would simply be available with the phone to whoever gets it. therefore when 5/15 comes and payment for hotspot is required you would have to add the feature to your plan for continued use. i don't know all of the specific details but i know that for most contracts you can edit features without charge or breaking/editing the contract (e.g. adding insurance, increasing minute/text allotments, carrier-based gps services) and the only contract changes that are solid are minutes + data that is required. that is my $0.02 on that issue, not sure if there is solid documentation on verizon's policy.

i do agree that with moderate usage free tether is an easy solution to this.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
A promotional period, mmmm, yes, nice work VZW, well played :-)
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
Maybe. But it is being advertised as a feature now and its therefore included in the plan. And if that feature changes price, then that can be a breach. Much like the past few years with changing text message rates where people got out of their contracts.

If V puts the V hotspot app on there then its even further endorsement for the feature.

I gues well wait and see, but I agree, a free hotspot app for when i go on a trip once in a blue moon will be good enough.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
Yeah BUT (there's always a but, lol), they are specifically saying that the hotspot is only free until 5/15, so I don't think it would be in breach of anything. Kind of like when you buy a PC and it has anti-virus or MS Office free for a certain period (maybe?).
[Thunderbolt General] Robertjm:
What I might expect is we'll have a charge on our invoice for $20 and then a credit on the first two bills to offset the charge. That way we're charged from the get go.
[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
hah, such an evil plan.....wouldn't surprise me if this were true though. it would be a safe way to avoid breach of contract while at the same time suckering in any tbolt owners who don't pay close attention to their bills. it's nothing new to charge $0 for something and then start taking money, as long as the customer doesn't manually remove the service. i think my bank offered things like this for free credit checks, free for a month or two and then it'll start charging, unless i were to call in and cancel the service. if verizon follows this it'll be up to diligent account owners to avoid unwanted charges.
[Thunderbolt General] Deleted member 2027727:
This is a little ridiculous that more people aren't using common sense with this. You can't get out of your contract this way, and why not? You're clearly being told that you are being GIVEN this feature for FREE until 05/15/2011. Don't bother writing that date down, because the contract you sign probably mentions this promtion, then you'll probably get a flyer, an email and and ad show up in My Verizon clearly stating "4G Mobile Hotspot FREE on Thunderbolt Until 05/15/2011". You might even get a letter in the mail welcoming you to this free trial. Then likely at least 2 reminders as the free trial is about to end, likely mail and email. You might even get a text message on your phone. Then, on 05/15/2011, it's probably going to stop working and you will probably be told the new rate of 2 GB/$20 for the feature (and no obligation to keep it) and you'll be asked if you want to add it.

So if you decide to ignore this clear forum post that has told you, all the news articles and then Verizon's very thorough warnings about the feature change, then no...you don't get out of your contract with no termination fee. You get a medal for being cheap. You were clearly told this multiple times and it's nobody's responsibility but your own.
[Thunderbolt General] bkiminfinity:
Just wanted to update this thread as I just got my tbolt and have news on the topic. I asked about the free mobile hotspot while my phone was being activated and the Verizon sales rep told me that hotspot is currently free for all tbolt users. Duh. But then she added that the feature itself isn't on anyone's plan and it is just purely free use for now. The catch is that it is only free until 5/14, and on 5/15 mobile hotspot will be A LA CARTE. Meaning that if you do not add mobile hotspot feature on the 14th and use it on the 15th, you will be charged per megabyte of usage at whatever Verizon charges, instead of the feature being automatically added to your plan. So lookout for that tbolt users and don't get caught on huge usage charges!
[Thunderbolt General] javawolfpack:
I was wondering if anyone has gotten the wifitether to work or the other root/free tethering solutions working to test if there are notable speed difference between these solutions and the mobile hotspot? I think I remember reading that tethering via USB got better speed tests than the mobile hotspot. But was wondering if anyone had run benchmarks on the other tethering options? I'd do it but I don't get my TB till likely Tuesday.
[Thunderbolt General] erikjonpeterson:
Wifi tether from the market works great on rooted s-off tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] isdnmatt:
I think every person should have the following added to their features. I'm not sure what they plan to do on 5/15?
[Thunderbolt General] je2345:
Actually after May 15 you have the option to add the feature for a price that is yet to determined. The $20/2gb promo will not be an option as it is not for any 4G pricing. They simply are giving feature for free to delay the need to price 4G mobile hotspot right away as it buys them more time.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjylafond:
HTC Sense Problem - Yesterday my clock widget disappeared mysteriously so I deleted it and went to add it back. When I did this, I got an HTC Sense error that Sense wouldn't load. I searched this forum, the Droid forum and the Verizon Wireless forum and it looked like what I needed to do was to go in settings-applications-HTC Sense and "Clear Data". I did this and it rebooted and went to the home screen but is stuck with this message "Loading.... It may take several minutes to complete, please wait." I waited an hour and all it did was continue with this message, occasionally popping up an HTC Sense error (it pops up and closes too fast to read it.

I've tried going to the boot menu and doing recovery, clear data and factory reset and it just does the same thing.

Weird thing is that the phone is giving me all notifications, etc., and I can go to anything that pops up on Notification bar, I just can't initiate any actions. I can't go to apps, settings or even dial, but I can answer calls.

Any suggestions.

Your HTC Sense apk might be screwed up. Have you been theming? I'd recommend to reflash a rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjylafond:
Still same issue

This phone was rooted. Has S-off in Bootloader.

Tried to run Unrevoked again but get an error on phone to force close and Unrevoked says not able to Root.

Tried to flash using RUU but RUU won't even start.

Tried recovery and it goes through process but after it is done it is still in the "loading".

Verizon is sending me a new phone tomorrow but I can't get the S-Off back to S-on so this will be a problem with warranty.

Anyone Have Sense!

After talking with the tech support guys at Verizon, it appears it is just HTC Sense not working properly since all other functions of the phone work. Does anyone know where I can download just Sense as an app?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjylafond:
Waiting

Finally figured out how to get it to Boot into Clockwork Recovery - I had to download an app from Market and then go into "my apps" from the menu - then went to ROM Manager and did Boot from Clockwork. Decided to go with "Wipe Data and reset factory settings".

Waiting on phone to reboot. For the last 5 minutes it has just had the Hat with the Orange Circle Clockwork Logo.

Fingers are crossed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
If you are seeing a a hat and Orange logo you hit the wrong button to reboot don't use the power button to select in recovery you use the track pad... tap the power button again and the menu should pop up then use the track pad to select reboot

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobsjg1:
If you got ROM manager installed, why not try installing a new ROM? If you like sense, I used virtuous for a while before switching to CM7. Virtuous is pretty much stock sense, just lets you tweak things a lot easier and comes with less bloat enabled by default.

I'd recommend formatting system and doing a factory wipe from recovery prior to installing the rom to make sure you start clean...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjylafond:

Got it done last night. Weird though, I had to install CM7 first and then go back to Stock ROM after that because Stock ROM kept giving me errors when it was rebooting.

Use Amon_RA Recovery 2.3 and make sure to format /system, /data, and /cache between ROMs. You can alternatively just flash a FORMAT_ALL.zip using Amon_RA or ClockworkMod 2.x to do the same thing. Just remember to Nandroid backup beforehand, and turn on signature verification for your ROMs to prevent any issues!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johninga:
I have installed and run the above, but it did not automatically re-boot . Ii had to do it manually. I now have the z4root icon in my apps. Question is do I have to run it again?? How do I know if my phone (Samsung GT-19000) has been rooted?? I have downloaded Set cpu, but this does not want to run because of "Superuser Permissions" ?

As you can tell I am a newbie!!!

Any advice help would be great
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
If SetCPU won't run due to SuperUser permissions, odds are that you are not rooted. Check to see if you have SuperUser amongst your apps. If no, then you are not rooted.

It sounds like z4root didn;t work or you rebooted before it had finished, therefore you could try to run it again and let it complete the process. However, I don't think z4root is used much anymore. I myself used SuperOneClick to root my i9000 and had no trouble at all. You can search for it and download it here at XDA.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PAGOT:
Easiest is to install superuser from the market and titanium backup. If it will ask for permissions (and say so) you will know you are rooted :)

if not, try something proper like super one click root (before though let us know your ROM and etc etc etc etc)

(rschneck, not having the superuser app doesn't mean necessary you are not rooted if I remember correctly )

Take my ROM, unzip the rom.zip.

Copy /system/framework folder and the /system/app/Settings.apk file to your ROM. Set the perms with adb or similar to 644 (files).

ADB:

adb shell

su

Mount System R/W (use SGS tools etc.)

chmod -R 644 /system/framework

chmod 644 /system/app/Settings.apk

Easiest would be ADB Magic from Chainfire ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] mrwizzstl:
I have rooted the Stock Rom, By this I mean I used one of the methods to get S-Off then flashed the RUU and used Super one click, so I am not using one of the "Cooked" roms. Sideloading is enabled.

So here is my question. How do I enable the menu option to toggle sideloading on/off.

I edited the one default.xml to update the unknown sources visibility to true but that didn't change anything. So what did I miss? Or is this one of those things that I cant do on the stock rom. I thought it was there when I was used bubby's one click so I would tend to believe I just missed something.

Thanks

Edit Just a FYI if anyone cares

/data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml

change <boolean name="unknown_sources_visibility" value="false" /> to true

and push it back to the phone, and it did not work by using a file manager ( only tried Super Manager) Had to have shell root from Super one click to get it to hold. I reflashed the Stock RUU and was able to do this with out even Fully rooting the Phone or enabling Sideloading.

In the End I was able to have a fully rooted Stock Rom with Sideloading including the menu option.

I'm about ready to flash a new radio, but I'm not sure if I need to. Often at home I don't turn Wifi on and use just 3g and don't find the speed to be particularly slow. I had bad battery life some time ago but that turned out to be a defective battery. My GPS locks a bit slowly, though. I've read that those are the main improvements/problems with new radios. Is there anything else I should know?

Can you also describe the process in detail? I've read a thread when while doing the Froyo update, someone pulled their battery thinking the process was over and bricked their phone. I don't want to wait for 5 minutes, but think it's over in 4 minutes and 30 seconds, battery pull, and brick. Please tell me about how long I will wait (if I need to).

Finally, which radio is generally found to be the best? I know there are quite a few out there, and I just want to be able to know which one is most recommended.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
There seems to be a subtle difference between the 7.15 and the 9.x

The 11.x version supposedly is suppose to have better battery life, I'm thinking about flashing it but not sure if I will.

Also if you have google location services on then your GPS should lock on quicker.
[Droid Incredible General] Droid_JD:
I have a question about radios too...

I have 11.19 on my phone right now. I remember a while back people were talking about not downgrading their radio because that would causer a brick. Or if you accidentally installed the same radio twice that would cause a brick.

Are these true? I know flashing the radio is dangerous regardless, but can I flash between radio versions freely (up and down) without any ADDITIONAL risk of a brick?

Just curious really.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Droid Incredible General] SteveG12543:
I was running the 7.28 radio for a while, updated to 9.01 for a bit, then downgraded back to 7.28 a bit afterwards, no problem. From what I've heard, just don't double flash them. And always check the MD5 sum.

So this is basically what I gathered:

7.15 = good +-

7.28 = pretty good

9.01 = also pretty good

11.10 = good battery but sometimes no signal

In that case, I'll try the 9.01 first. Is there any radio that really sucks?

Also, the way to flash is rename to PMB31IMG.zip and flash through HBOOT right? Just place there, go to bootloader, volume up then just follow on screen prompts right?
