the government trying to censor the internet - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I saw this in the evo 3d forum wanted to spread the word
http://americancensorship.org/
Today, Congress holds hearings on the first American Internet censorship system. This bill can pass. If it does the Internet and free speech will never be the same. Join all of us to stop this bill.

Could pass .......but will not pass.

i know that something like this could technically pass but I dont see this ever passing.

Just because u don't see it passing. Make sure you still contact your local state reps to voice you do not want it to pass. You can go to Eff.com (Electric Frontier Foundation) and they can assist you with telling you who to email or call and can even email them on behalf of you.

Tracking Texts

My girlfriend suspects me of tracking everything she does on her phone. I've already told her there is no way to do that from my phone. Can anyone else kill her suspicion with me or prove me wrong. Thank you much appreciated

Haha, lots of trust in that relationship! Im pretty sure you can't track texts on another phone, UN less you call the carrier and ask them the info, which they shouldn't be allowed to give you without consent

Tell her you're not tracking her texts, the guy she's texting keeps forwarding them to you and you'd like him to stop.
Then trade her in for a newer model with the latest updates.

either way, it's not good.
So many ignorant and sexist assumptions here, it's disgusting. Some of you guys are downright pathetic.
OP, talk it out with your girlfriend, if she's genuinely paranoid, figure out the root of the paranoia, and explain to her carefully how there is nothing you can "monitor", and doing so is illegal anyway.
Just because someone is paranoid about privacy doesn't mean they have something to hide, especially when it could be that the person in question is new to the idea of a smartphone (especially a smartphone that powerful and versatile).
Unless her worries are truly causing friction in your relationship, if she is still paranoid, just let it go.

I'm sorry to hear that, but that doesn't quite change what I said before; there's no need to assume every woman that is worried about privacy is a whore. That's just disgusting sexism, regardless of whether or not one thinks it's always true.
Again, sorry to hear that, I hope you find someone else you can trust better.

I'm a douche bag. Usually the first person to start accusing is the guilty one. Anyway, XDA is not match.com. The only way you can legally monitor her text messages is if you pay the bill. Then you can get all the texts forwarded to you via email, Sprint will go back 90 days.

Well HTC was pretty useless

I called HTC to ask about the bootloader unlocking tool and they directed me to the page.
I said I know that but I want to know why the Rezound one is not available and when it will be.
"We dont have that information"
Ok who does?
"We dont know"
What? well what department handles that kind of stuff.
"There isnt one"
There has to be someone who makes the unlocking tools and posts them right?
"We dont have that information, all I can say is to maybe contact the corporate office"
Ok what is the number.
"I cant give it you to you"
Ugh!!!

Well, before the fervor over the JB release, the reason we didn't have multiview was our video hardware limitation.
But I have used ICS apps with floating windows, so at least that's possible.
Thanks - signed the petition. I cant believe they could ding us like this. Our device is not even that old to begin with cmon Samsung dont shortchange your customers.

This is all besides the point, but this feature was promised to us so we should get what was promised and as far as i know misguiding people or misleading them to believe something is for sure just to make a sale is against the law, anyways that is what happened to me. Hopefully they are forced into this.
In the first place the international device was updated with the enact same thing (Jellybean 4.1.2 Update) only they did in fact receive multiwindow on their device. What is the problem? why is this such a complicated thing for them to do? if they did it for one device they should be able to do it with our American Version device. I think they get Customers hopes up, show them how the multitasking/multiwindow would perform on their device, and most importantly what exactly is multitasking and the benefit of the feature. Then you have numerous customers that are very interested and eager on having this feature, but personally i think they do it on purpose so they can force customers to buy a more expensive device that is mufti-window compatible. Just to get them into another phone that's more expensive and to get as much money out of them as quickly as they can, that's how i see it, why else would they have such a big issue putting it on our device? i'm sure it's not nearly as impossible as they are making it seem.

Show me where on Samsung's website, their official press release of the update or the product page that says we were to get multi-window.
Just because sites reported it but were wrong does not make it a promise from Samsung. SamMobile is not Samsing and doesn't report on their behalf.
So no false advertising is present. Samsung did not mis-represent nothing. It was 3rd party websites that made the error. So the claim against them would be thrown out on that alone.

A simple google search with the name pretty much gives you the street he lives on, if that's him and not someone who took the image and name off the internet.
This thread got so word so quick. I'm surprised the mods haven't closed this thread yet simply based on who started it and now I'm even more surprised it's still open based on how off topic it has become.
On another note, I can't believe the op hasn't deleted his account yet and just started over. Surely he is tired of every one harrasing him. And no that isn't me defending. I agree with it. Just surprised he's still here.

well, you're paying your share of insurance with cash, but the insurance premium is a "bill", so you do pay "bill".. maybe not "billS"..
anyway, sorry for off-topic, but I have to say that the thread about "downloading update from AT&T and pushing it to the phone" "basically tricking the phone" didn't come across as a joke to me, but rather a very strange and bewildering attempt to scam people for donations. and you did it again with the "HTC logo as a capacitive button" thread. So your assertion that the AT&T update thread was just a joke is a little hard to swallow. I they were both jokes, perhaps you should bounce them off someone before posting, just to see if anyone else finds them funny.

Hey I'm all for it if it helps catch "bad guys" and junk. If you're not doing anything illegal who cares. Do what ya gotta do to catch the jerks. I for one am sick and tired of people getting away with junk, it's ultimately costing all of us.
It's worth noting that there's nothing in the article that indicates that they don't have similar orders in place for other carriers. The Verizon order is the one that leaked, but it would seem that given the breadth of the order, it's probably not VZW specific. The others just haven't been leaked at this point.
I don't personally lose a lot of sleep over this, but I can understand the concern on this. I do think that an order this broad is excessive.
I'm sure it's not just Verizon
I love the "if you're not doing anything, nothing to worry about" argument. No, I'm not doing anything. And it's because of that fact that no one should be building a database on who I call and for how long and where. People just don't get it... How far will it go? When does it stop? Should every person walking the streets be subject to search at any given time because "we might get a bad guy"
Sorry, but I don't do anything wrong. I'm a simple family man who enjoys sports and tech. And I am bothered by my government spying on me and my fellow citizen for no reason at all.
The article states, the conversations weren't recorded, but that's next. And how would you feel if some computer somewhere is recording you talking dirty to your wife? Or whatever, insert whatever you want there.
This isn't right. And it's scary.

All airwaves are "leased" from the FCC. I deal with radio communications. Fire and law enforcement were pushed onto the 800MHz spectrum about 10 years ago. Now the FCC wants them to move to the 700MHz spectrum so they can lease the 800MHz to cell phone carriers. Tax payers pay for the equipment needed to make this change which isn't cheap.
All the complaints I heard about google snooping on your WiFi are nothing compared to our own government snooping on every spectrum out there.No communication is sacred unless it is face to face.
The extreme would be to go back to basics of a land line so your location couldn't be tracked. And not using any social media sites or forums. How far are you willing to go?

I love the "if you're not doing anything, nothing to worry about" argument. No, I'm not doing anything. And it's because of that fact that no one should be building a database on who I call and for how long and where. People just don't get it... How far will it go? When does it stop? Should every person walking the streets be subject to search at any given time because "we might get a bad guy"
Sorry, but I don't do anything wrong. I'm a simple family man who enjoys sports and tech. And I am bothered by my government spying on me and my fellow citizen for no reason at all.
The article states, the conversations weren't recorded, but that's next. And how would you feel if some computer somewhere is recording you talking dirty to your wife? Or whatever, insert whatever you want there.
This isn't right. And it's scary.

Maybe this all a scheme to get us back to using snail mail. That would boost the USPS revenues! /Sarcasm off

There's a difference between whistleblowers and people who just dump classified info.

What I find more disturbing is how ok a lot of people are with our constitutional rights being blatantly violated by the government under the guise of they might catch a boogeyman. The point isn't "if I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to worry about, so I don't care". The point is the lower level implications that the government is wiretapping us without a warrant for us individually without just cause. They cannot do that according to the constitution, and there should be impeachment implications over it AFAIC. Same goes for the second amendment. You might not like it, but it is our right - constitutionally - to be able to own firearms. Like I said, I'm troubled by how many people are just ok with our rights be stripped of us. Rights that make us American, that made us the free people we were.
I wonder how much more intrusion, how much more erosion of our rights it is going to take before the American people revolt and tell them to back the eff off. I don't think we are those kinds of people any more sadly. We are not the people with the spine to stand up to big brother to defend our freedoms from an overreaching government. Myself included - I know I don't have that in me.

That is literally the same thing. Bradley Manning dumped classified info. He is labeled a whistleblower. As far as Obama and his admin are concerned, they are one in the same.
The war party started this under Bush with the Patriot Act. U can thank all those who got them in power for what is happening today. Know ur history.

While true, the Patriot Act was extended by congress and signed by the president that is sitting in office right now. They had a chance to let it die, and didn't. Now it is all on them for what we have today from that Patriot Act POS when they should have let it die out.
The government likes to use the argument that "they (we) are still looking for terrorists." This argument is now void. Seriously, we stopped trying to end terrorism years ago. We cannot possibly still think that our government is still trying to do this. They are constantly getting into our private lives like it is nothing.
Look, I am a soldier in the United States Army, and I do not see myself ever going into some senators house and going through his documents because I can. That is exactly what they are doing to me! I have nothing to hide. Just do not go through my personal life. I guarantee that they would not like it if I went through their personal lives. LEAVE MY VERIZON RECORDS ALONE!

dude, are you serious?
learn the facts, and then speak. you just sound ignorant here.
read what badogg said; it's 100% true. all these politicians are exactly the same, and the most disgusting part of it is people like you who claim "oh bush was the bad guy wah wah wah" but then you think it's perfectly okay when obama does it. absolutely pathetic. the citizens of this country are just as much to blame as the government, since they're the ones who voted these idiots in.
