Why are phone manufacturers allowing carriers to determine what should and shouldn’t be on their phones? When will there be an end to this nonsense and a true separation of carriers and manufacturers? People expect carriers to provide great mobile service, and manufacturers to provide great equipments, and costs in both scopes to be kept low. When these two mix up each other’s scopes, we end up with mediocre service on mediocre equipments, paying a higher price to fund all the useless development that goes into customizing phones to carrier requirements…

Verizon doesn’t get mad they just jack up the price. They are not going to lose money. They have everyone by the balls and are not about to let go.

maybe because iphone is still 3g until the iphone 5 comes out. Might happen to it also.

This works on Non Rooted phones also.

“To remove the annoying wifi popup that comes up everytime you use an
app that constantly requests a data stream, dial *#6335623#
(star-pound-6-3-3-5-6-2-3-pound) and a menu will popup. Hit Disable
WifiOffLoading. Now all annoying alerts/notifications are gone.”

Step 1. Root your phone.
Step 2. Download SQLite Editor and go into the secure table in the settings.db (database) in the “settings storage” app.
Step 3: Edit the wifi_networks_available_notification_on record’s value field from 1 (true) to 0 (false).
Step 4: Restart your phone.

Now to remove the annoying wifi popup that comes up everytime you use an app that constantly requests a data stream, dial *#6335623# (star-pound-6-3-3-5-6-2-3-pound) and a menu will popup. Hit Disable WifiOffLoading. Now all annoying alerts/notifications are gone.

Enjoy!

WOW! Talk about great customer service. Looks like someone has an “Apple” stuck up their butt. You can add the VZ Navigator right up behind it!

Wow.

Not sure what country you live in, but as far as the US goes? Um…no.

For personal viewing, if it aired, and you personally recorded it: Sure. They won’t go after you for that.

For redistribution?? No. Uh-uh. Negative. Not allowed.

Distribution, under US copyright, is limited to the copyright holder….regardless of how you acquired your “copy”.

If you believed that this was legal in the US, you need to stop listening to whomever is giving you that information. They are woefully mistaken.

(DVRs are legal because they are for personal viewing only, and even as such they are regulated and restricted. Look in the paperwork you get with the device and I am certain you will find all kinds of warnings regarding copying and distributing.)

And Actually any tv show, movie, etc that have aired on tv, even the ones that are on premium channels (HBO, Movies on Demand, Showtime, etc) are legal because once they are aired on public television they can be recorded and redistributed from anywhere (this is why DVRs are legal).

It is legal to download software from torrents its just illegal to use the software keys that they give you.

See most software you can just download online but from the source its slower. So as long as you dont try and use the keys or cracks then its ok

There won’t be many good ROMs since the bootloader is signed and many good devs will prefer to spend their time with other devices where they don’t have to continually tweek the code to comply with the stock Kernel.

I don’t mind using WiFi at home much since the latency is slightly lower and the batter consumption is better. Some free public spots, however, have WiFi slower than 3G!
