I also noticed that sometimes the internet works but my signal bars are gone and it just shows (H....) or (3G....)

You are probably using a PPP build, try using one which has RMNET. (I believe Hyperdroid is RMNET, but it's not Sense).

I see... is there any sense builds that are not PPP?

I'm not a fan of Sense so I'm not really sure. Maybe HyperdroidSense is, but it's not the most actively maintained build. Just check through all the build threads, it should be mentioned (though some don't..).

Does t-mobile know if i'm tethering?

So i'm running CM7 and I was at the airport yesterday with no free wifi. I used the USB tethering feature built into CM7 which happened to work just fine.
However, i am just wondering, is there anyway t-mobile will know i'm tethering?

Heard yes and no, never been billed for tethering through my carrier

All I used to do was tether my HD2 to my notebook PC but I can't get that feature to work with this device anymore.

It worked great for me. I couldn't even tell I was tethering, that's how fast it was.

AFAIK, no. There has been no definitive answer to this. However, I don't believe T-Mo has any "long armed reach" into your phone. All they are is a carrier. They provide you a signal, what you do with that signal is up to you. All they should see is a steam of data to various points on the internet on their end.
Now, if these points happens to be things like a WoW server or CoD server; aka things that 100% can't run on your phone -- maybe they would have some info. Surfing, email, and downloading should all be totally innocuous though.

Streaming of TV (NRK in Norway)

I have 2.2.1 (XEE) and Speedmod kernel. Some people can watch live TV from http://m.nrk.no/m/nett-tv/autoload.jsp?broadcastId=1 others can NOT.
I just can't find any reason for this. Have tried with default video player, 3d gallery player and rock player.
Any suggestions?

NRK has worked/works fine for me, both with stock 2.1 and 2.2, and custom 2.2.1 (and many different kernels!). Used only default video player.
Have you contacted NRK's IT-avdeling? They're usually quite helpful (assuming you can drag them away from Ski-VM...).

Not tried that yet. You mean NRK Beta?

It works, but only on 3g... Have tried on two different wifi networks, but no connection. Any theories on why this is so?
There is NO special wifi settings on the phone.

Working fine here with stock videoplayer!!

Help!! Video Calling using Yahoo Messenger

I'm from Asia and we uses yahoo messenger here a lot. I received this phone locked to tmo with the default rom. All is working fine with the preinstalled YM app as far as video calling is concern.
Here's the problem, after upgrading the rom to cm's/royal's/etc.... I noticed that when I use the Yahoo Messenger's video calling feature it always uses the main camera. Voice calling is working fine but can't find a way on how I can use the front camera during the call.
Question: is the a way/tweak on how to fix this problem? or perhaps an alternative app that will allow me to sign in to my yahoo messengers account with video calling feature. Thanks a lot!!!! This phone rocks!!!

DITTO... I have the same question... and I'm using CM7 7.0.2 and have the same problem. Since it is the only way to call to my moms pc I need to know how to fix this.

No fix if you are using 2.3 ROMs..
choose a 2.2 ROM, Royal Glacier works fine..
note that the new google talk will be implementing voice/video chat..this will solve the issue if you want to stay on 2.3 ROMs..

Try using Agent Switch Pro for chrome on the latest Opera setting. That's how I'm doing it.

Keep us posted. I switched over this afternoon and am going to give this a try tonight. Thanks.

Nothing to keep posted. I've been using that technique from the beginning and have had no trouble.

I tried it on my galaxy s3 using t-mobile hot spot and it kept redirecting my me to sign up for the hot spot plan. However, I did use a different WiFi router app and was able to tether. I am rooted btw.

Tether did not work with my S3, but does with my G2 and current S2's Did not get a chance to try a different rom on the S3 before sale tho so not sure about that.

Probably a stupid question on XDA, but are you rooted and running custom roms on your S2s? I'm interested if anyone has tried this on stock firmware with one of thee non-root tethering apps. I would test myself but I can't remember the last time I had a phone with stock firmware.

Yep I used both the s2 and s3 sucessfully.....
There is also another topic explaining another method of replacing ur apn in the general subforum of the tmobile s3
As for the s2 there is threads for apns and then for user agents
Live throws a code stating that some items may not be available but playing and netflix green light
Updates you have to dl on ur pc then transfer it to ur xbox by disc, etc storage medium
I have also changed my dns servers but I can still use tmobiles dns and do both
I use to have a full live experience until the last 360 update and now something borked....nebody have ideas? Lol

So I should have no problem using my sensation as a hotspot to power my roku box to stream Netflix to my t.v. right? Thanks!!!
