[Nook Color General] blackiceuk:
Hello

I'm selling my NC as I need to pay some bills and I rebuy one when the Honeycomb is officially out and working on the Nook.

So a friend in AZ bought it, must of logged it or something to check it out. Worked fine so mailed it to me. I registered it to my name and email address after creating a B&N account (I'm in the UK btw). Works fine.

Did the auto Rooting install back in Dec - everything good. Simply not using it. (never did solve the issues of inconsistent wifi connection at home off a mac mini).

Its now listed on ebay in the UK and I can't seem to de-register it. Can't remember by B&N account at all.

I am getting an error code about not registered?

Do I need to start over, totally reRoot it or?

Machines fine otherwise.

Cheers

Hello All,

I'm hoping someone on here can help me...

My HTC desire will not boot past the White and Green HTC splash screen.

I have tried factory restore by holding vol. down and switching on menu etc. but have had no joy.

The phone has not been rooted or modified in anyway.

Can anybody offer advice?

Kind regards,

Does anyone have a Mail.apk that will decompile and recompile with out an error? I am trying to invert the Mail apk and when I try to recompile it, it errors out. I think it is something in Smali that is making it error out. If I go ahead and push it to the phone, I get a force close. I have tried several different roms to see if I can get one that will work including the stock Froyo that rmk40 posted back in October.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoZZeR999:
If you don't need to decompile the smali, you can use apktool d -s mail.apk, this will decompile resources.arsc, but not devompile the smali.

Also, you may need to change all of the *dpi folders (drawable-hdpi, mdpi, and such) to drawable-hdpi-v4. If you can get a logcat of *:E when it's crashing, I can try to help you out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devildog8791:
I use APK Manager. Is there a way to exclude smali in there?

I'll see what I can do about the logcat and get back with you. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoZZeR999:
If you want, you can post the mail.apk, and I can take a look at it.

If you just want to change the graphics, you could just extract the drawable files as if it were a zip file. Just don't edit the 9.png files.
[Epic 4G General] deisel:
Is there a way to get the hot spot function without the monthly fees?
[Epic 4G General] Alkah0liK:
Yes, if you are rooted.

Grab wireless tether here or from market now I believe.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
To me, I think of it as I'm already paying for it...It's just using the internet signal from my phone and pushing it to my computer, I have my unlimited data plan!

But yeah, Barnacle Tether or Wireless Tether for root users are your two best bets.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Just remember you're doing something illegal and risk terminating your account with sprint
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I don't think you could convince me that wifi tether is Illegal...I mean, try your best...but If I pay for unlimited data on my cell phone...and my cell phone does all of the modulation/demodulation of the data....regardless of what app it is pushed too or what hardware that app has control over....I see 0 wrong with it.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Just because there's nothing morally wrong with it doesn't mean it isn't illegal.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
You could think what you want to think. Tell sprint what you're doing, let's see if there is nothing wrong with it.
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
I already pay for services on my phone for the internet, therefor I can do what I would like to with it. Yes, Sprint may not be happy with it, but more than likely their sprint rep's wouldn't even understand what I was trying to tell them.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Actually, a Sprint employee told me to get the Epic and root it. LOL
[Epic 4G General] jackf:
I do it too. But by the Terms and Conditions they made you agree to:

Prohibited Network Uses. ...(vi) for an activity that connects any device to Personal Computers (including without limitation, laptops), or other equipment for the purpose of transmitting wireless data over the network (unless customer is using a plan designated for such usage);

So legally you can't do anything you want
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Are you guys really dumb or just acting dumb? Of course it's illegal and against contractual agreement.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
It's not illegal as there is no law that prohibits you from doing so.

It is absolutely a breach of your contractual obligation with Sprint and makes you subject to termination and perhaps damages recovered from Sprint for using their service in a manner you agreed that you would not use it, though I doubt Sprint would ever do more than terminate your contract.
[Epic 4G General] deisel:
I want it for work I need conectivity and sum pol have no phones or internet so for me to connect their stuff and send data then dissconnect is Whuts needed but I pay enough already for my plan I don't se the 30 more on top of the bill wnted to bypass that aspect
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
exactly. Illegal means there is a LAW prohibiting it. Find said law in any state, local, or federal mandate and I will happily eat my shoe.

It IS probably a breach of contract though, which by no means is a law.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Everyone is a law expert these days. Illegality and breach of contract are not the same thing.
[Epic 4G General] hammerbrain:
"Theft of services" is a violation of the law in probably all states...is in mine. That would be the law, cough, cough, being "broken"....saw a few judges concerning said law back in the day. Jumping turnstiles.:rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
Was it really a Sprint employee? Was it a corporate store or a co-branded indirect dealer? Sprint lets a ton of dealers use their name as long as they conform to certain policies and procedures.
[Epic 4G General] edscholl:
it's not illegal, but is definitely against the terms of your license agreement.

yeah. but it's not illegal- if you think so, tell me the law against it. :P

all you guys saying it's illegal... are totally and completely ridiculously clueless. the party can sue for monetary damages or performance of the contract, but it's not like the gov't is going to take action (like they might if it were actually illegal).
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
This. You can contractually agree to many things that aren't otherwise regulated by law. I'm not saying I don't do it from time to time, but it isn't as simple as saying that you pay for unlimited data so you can use it however you like.
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
Funny how u all act like u follow every law there is in the world
[Epic 4G General] Djinn23:
The dmca was revamped to include rooting of devices...where a few years ago that was prohibited from that law. Breech of contract is a violation of law as well if you want to get technical. Now I have to go watch my bootleged video, while drinking my prohibited absenth, and speeding to my bank hiest. Sorry.
[Epic 4G General] Tbtltdts:
Are you looking to be flamed?? Congress passed a law making it legal for smartphone owners to have complete access and control of the operating system. Nothing wrong with rooting or using any of the benefits by rooting.

Sent from my Epic 4g Runnin Froyo...rooted for my pleasure!!
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
This is not 100% true.

While I doubt you could get in legal trouble for rooting, you CAN get into legal trouble for breach of contract, which is what you are doing if you enable tethering via root.

After all, it is the "breach of contract" that is makes it illegal, not the rooting, or installing the app, and since ALL sprint customers signed a contract to get their account with Sprint, you COULD be held in breach of contract if you use a rooted device for tethering w/o the additional contract agreement for tethering.

That said... is there a working modded hot spot app?
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
People... really!? Who cares lol, it works (usually), its a modded app and well we're on a modding site.
[Epic 4G General] hammerbrain:
"Theft of services is the legal term for a crime which is committed when a person obtains valuable services — as opposed to goods — by deception, force, threat or other unlawful means, i.e., without lawfully compensating the provider of said services. It may also overlap with some types of fraud in which payment is made on credit, but under an assumed identity, and ultimately disavowed ("Identity theft").

Crimes of this sort are typically prosecuted as larceny, and may be either a misdemeanor or a felony, based upon the value of the services illegally obtained. This category encompasses a wide variety of criminal activity including, but not limited to, tampering with (or bypassing) a utility meter so that the true level of consumption is understated; leaving a hotel or restaurant or similar establishment without paying for the service; and "turnstile jumping" or other methods of evading the payment of a fare or fee when using a public transit vehicle or entering a private facility normally requiring payment (e.g., jumping over the fence at a fair or rock concert). Theft of services also occurs in the taxi industry, when a passenger in a taxi flees from the taxi to avoid paying the fee."

From Wikipedia....Love my Wifi Tether just wanna get the facts straight. This is probably "the law".
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
Do you have any info on a modded Hot Spot app for EB13 builds?
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
Its usually been included in most of the latest roms here, at least in the ones I'm using. They've been a little finicky though
[Epic 4G General] QuestingHero:
Android Wifi Tether version 3 pre 10 works great for me. I have used it with 3g and 4g and with several devices at the same time. It does infrastructure mode so my PS3/360 can connect to it, and over all works great. I have had older builds reboot after about an hour of use, but pre 10 seems to work really well.

I have not tried version 3 pre 11, since pre 10 has worked so well for me

Awesome, thanks!
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Tethering isn't even on the same line as that. You're way off. The similar scenario would be you buying a new notebook computer and getting a Mac, running Windows 7 on it, and then Apple suing you for not using MacOs.

You've already paid for the data. With the tethering fee, you're paying for the use of Sprint's program to tether to your laptop (and the

right

to tether per the contact - you've already paid for the data). We're not using Sprint's program, we've already paid for the data, no theft is occuring (I'm sure many courts would agree, 1st sale doctrine may apply).

Now, there is a breach of contract, as when I signed with Sprint I told them I wouldn't tether. However, that's contract law, not criminal law. Penalties in contract law begin and end at the contract. No further. Sprint has the right to terminate me, subject to ETF. That's it.

People let their minds run wild. Sprint can't magically prosecute you for this. Absolute worst case, you owe a $250 ETF, that's it. It's contract law, it's not criminal law (illegal).

Now, I understand tethering is wrong.

I don't care.

If Sprint doesn't want me to tether, they can tell me not to be their customer. Their choice. So far they've chosen keeping me.
[Epic 4G General] androikid:
lol

This thread turned into someone asking a question, to everyone giving legal arguments back and forth about the payment of services vs the legality of it... Really if it was such a big deal for sprint they would build in some sort of hardware to prevent the pushing of a signal from their device, and make it so that only through a Sprint designated app that there would be any possibility if a signal being sent through the phone, in which at that point Sprint could read the data usage via means of that hardware to charge accordingly. Of course just as it is now, developers would be able to authenticate some type of application or root file which would give permissions to the hardware while blocking the transfer of the data to Sprint... Not enough people use it "illegally" for Sprint to care very much about it. This post is probably completely incoharent but I need some posts to be able to contribute to discussions in the ROM and Root section :cool:
[Epic 4G General] QuestingHero:
That is awesome! the more I think about that post, the more it makes me smile.
[Epic 4G General] jnadke:
Yeah, it turned that way after the 3rd post.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
True.

The problem with your theory is that what is being described here does not meet the crank definition of theft. This is because Sprint had agreed to provide the fundamental service to you, and you are paying for it.

However, you agreed as part of that relationship to restrict your use, memorialized in a written contract. As others have pointed out, what's being discussed here is a breach of that agreement, nor theft of anything.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Well, I am not fimiliar with all of the legal aspects when it comes to tethering but I will say this: I do pay for Hotspot and WifiTether is nowhere near as good as Hotspot. It works then it doesn't. Some people can browse the web others can't. It works on some custom ROMs and not on others. With Hotspot I can log onto Facebook on my Vizio TV, be on my laptop and my neighbor can as well...at the same time with no issues or dropout. They just aren't the same...but it is getting there

UFE (Unidentified Flying Epic)
[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
my understanding of wifi tether apps is like this: Using wifi tether instead of sprint hotspot is like using google documents instead of microsoft office. Different application to produce the same result. Using the application is not illegal. Since you are already paying for your data service, you are not stealing anything. What is the difference between surfing the web on your phone's browser vs your computer's browser as far as data usage goes? Nothing (unless you're constantly downloading absurdly huge files, of course). Using wifi tether applications is not against criminal law. period.

could you tell me how to use proxy in Windows Phone 7?

[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
proxy will only work over wifi i believe. once you're connected to a wifi hotspot, and you see it in the list as being connected, press and hold and there should be settings or something like that, and within there you should be able to set up the proxy.

I had this exact problem last night, I was trying to flash back to stock from a I9000 ROM I had installed and it wasn't running good for me. So I did what I had done in the past, I was using the Captivate ToolBox to flash back to stock, my phone would go into Download mode, but Odin never saw it. I thought that was odd, so I tried the regular Odin flash to stock as well, using the pulling the battery and holding down vol up and down and plugging in the USB. Still Odin didn't see my phone.... I then rebooted my computer, put my phone in download mode and plugged in into my computer and for some odd reason Windows said it was installing new drivers for my device. After it completed, Odin saw my phone and I was able to flash back to stock, so you could try that, it may help you.

YYou need to supply the firmware file to flash (click on the "PDA" button, and browse to where you downloaded it--you *did* download it, right?), and optionally the ".pit" file if you need to re-partition when you flash.
