I want to set up my new (att) HTC Fuse to run satellite based GPS with internal maps and WiFi Internet connections. I do not want to pay for the att GPS or data plans. I want to use the internet through WiFi at home or at hotspots without using att by mistake and receiving data charges accordingly. In addition, what is the best GPS software: Tom Tom, Garmin or some other? It is fine with me to load all the maps on the SD card and run independent of Google Maps. A large 'Points of Interest' database is also desirable.
First of all, your questions have been answered numerous times and this is not the thread for these questions. In fact your subject does not match with the contents. However, below are my suggestions:
It's better to call ATT customer service to cancel your data plan so that you dont accidentally use the data plan. There are also cabs that
can be used to disable the data plan.
TomTom or Garmin . it's upto you. However, beware of the fact that there is very noticable lag in fuze-gps.
I myself do not use data plan and have been using FuzeGPS as far as I can.
Regarding the custom ROM - you can use any of the custom ROM as each has been catered to serve different taste.
I am in the exact same situation as you... the first thing I have to say to you is READ... Read & Do NOT post (and especially do not start a new thread for something like this)!
That being said, the NRG ROM Series by NRGZ28 (MAKE SURE YOU HARDSPL!) is what I personally use on my fuze, and Tom Tom 7 would be my recommended Nav software. That being said, with both of us being in the US, it might be a bit hard to get your hands on. Even more so with the proper maps. If you need help getting your hands on Tom Tom, let me know.... ALSO-- FIND, Download, & Install Modaco's NoData.... the stock ATT Rom WILL CONNECT to the internet even if you don't want it to. ATT's explanation is that "it is a primary data, secondary voice device." Don't end up like me with $50 in data charges at the end of the month just because of the stock ROM. You can also remove the password under connections and manually key it in when you are sending / recieving a MMS (the password is cingular).
What does the poll have to do with your questions?
For the data usage, I agree about downloading the NoData cab, it works great.
For the ROM, there's lots out there and all of them will work. Its best to look at what's included and figure out what has the stuff you'll use.
WiFi works fine in all of the ROMs.
GPS is where it could get a little tricky. Since you don't want to use data, then you'll have to disable aGPS (since March 1st, most ROMs have it enabled I think because of the AT&T fix). This will cause your cold fix time to take longer.
As far as GPS software, I like Garmin the best. Its just like a Nuvi unit and the maps are the most up-to-date for my area, especially compared to TomTom.

Thanks for your quick reply.
Obviously I am new to this forum (I registered last month), but I have spent MANY hours searching and reading many threads on this very interesting site. My questions have not yet been answered well enough to make a decision. I have read good things and bad things about almost every issue. Some guys say the stock ROM is horrible, some say it is great and every thing works wonderful after simply eliminating the att bloatware. Some say stay away from cooked ROMs and some say it is the only way to go. Obviously your research has answered these simple questions for you which others also may find helpful. If you can, please post some of the thread links that answer these questions in a more definitive fashion than my research has found. By the time I read four or five pages of most of the threads I found in my search there were so many contradictions and varied results that it became a little confusing, hence I was hoping for some simple answers that I hoped would be of interest to me and others with similar questions. I assumed there was more than Garmin and Tom Tom out there, but if not, I agree they are both probably good choices.
Thanks again for your comment – David.

Dude,
If you have an ATT Fuze, Why are you polling about the iphone, win-mo, and palm OS's? I'd Semi-understand the poll if you were undecided about which phone to go buy but you just picked up an ATT Fuze. The Fuze runs on WinMo and you're on a Forum that mostly works with phones that run Windows Mobile yet you're going to poll and ask about which smartphone OS is better?
If this poll has anything to do with a purchase of a phone, go to something like CNET.com or another electronic review site to find your answers.
I'm not trying to flame you but i'm struggling to understand how your poll and HOW that has anything to do with your question that you're posting?
Anyways, its a preference. I know it gets confusing to read all the pages about all the ROM's that are posted but i'm going to tell you, its all about what YOU want and it has nothing to do with anyone elses opinions. If i were you, i'd go flash every ROM and see which one works out for me. There are compromises but you really need to go through it yourself and see which one works out best for you. There is NO PERFECT ROM for this phone as the phone itself isn't perfect. As for your navigation needs, go find "iGo" for windows mobile. I'm not sure why people get business oriented phones if they don't want to spend money on a data package because the data capabilities and business oriented software is what makes these phones different than a regular cell phone. I still don't see a point in the poll but good luck.

I accidently hit the 'Poll' button and couldn't back out of it. I should have started over with a new post, but I made up the poll to fill the blanks instead. My vote is for WinMo. Thanks for asking - David.

Hey all! I'm so glad i found this community it looks awesome! I'm new here and to the HTC hero G2 AND to the droid OS for that matter so i will have some pretty noobish questions , i will try to make it easy and list them in order so if you could please respond that way it would make it a lot easier on this noob as well
I am in the USA so i don't know if that will make a difference but i see a lot of other countries names in updates.
1. My device is the G2 obviously and its unlocked and i use my local carrier Cincinnati Bell and i'm pretty sure my phone is stock everything as far as firmware and what not. I still have 1.5 and i'm seeing people talk about 2.1, some say a message will automatically appear for the update but will it work since i'm not on T Mobile? if not how do i go about getting this?
2. What other types of software are there you recommend every G2 should have or that i can update to my phone to make it better, faster and just all around great, how would i go about doing this?
3. i've noticed when i go to albums for some reason there are 5 different albums just for my pictures which were all already on my sd card, and on my old phone were all just under the same album. The same for videos too there is 3 different ones for those too. Why are they all being seperated and how do i just make one entire album for all photos and one for videos? i've plugged the USB into my computer and opened my sd card and have seen the folders for all my music and photos so could when i add particular artists music on just create my own folder and put each artists music in their own folder? would it show up like that on my music player as being seperate? and could i do the same for pictures?
I realize i have quite a decent amount of questions and i apologize but i am new to the G2 and Droid in general as i've stated and i love the experience so far and i want to gain as much knowledge as possible so big thanks to anyone who helps me!
THANKS!!!

What exactly did you think it was? This is a developer community.. not a help desk.
I myself am not a developer.. I have a very small and limited amount of knowledge regards android.
I come here because I pick things up.. and occasionally when I have a problem I ask a question BUT only in the hope that the great and the good of this community feel like they have time to answer it.
Sure I wish I could be more welcoming to you.. I really do hope your problem gets solved.
Just dont expect it to get handed to you.. for example.. most of your questions can be answered in the hero wiki.. which is one quick search away from discovery.
Your initial question was polite and well formed.. however to follow it up with that statement just shows that you were being very disingenuous.
Again.. I hope someone takes the time to answer your several questions.

I've searched for forums for the Hero G2 and this is one of the only ones with activity i found. So i signed up, yes i know this is a development forum but if someone has the knowledge to develop for such a phone then it became common sense to me they would know answers to the questions i had. I did not mean to seem "disingenuous", its from the fact of taking a post like my last to get a response is why i did so. I wish someone from the first few views could of either 1. Helped me or 2. Said what you said and suggested somewhere or something else to help.
I don't mean to sound like an ass, just would really like help so it would be GREATLY appreciated if someone tried at least :-/
Ok i'll use my first post as an attempt to be useful, if only because i've read a whole lot from here and as yet written nowt
Now, first things first, being in the states do you have the G2 gsm hero, the one with the chin, or the US cdma sprint version? Makes a big difference if you want to do rooting.
Information searching for the hero doesn't have to come from active forums, many were hugely active when the phone first arrived and may not be so now, but much of the content is just as useful/relevant as it was then.
Oh, and i'm neither a dev, or a programmer or a techy phone expert, pc expert or any other expert come to that, just a hero owner that started much like you. Knowing nothing
Regarding the official 2.1 update, have no idea how it might arrive at your device, or mine as i'm not interested. Mine is rooted 1.5 with modaco 3.2 and it works just fine (and stable/reliable) for me, and does pretty much all i need it to do. The only exception being maybe bluetooth transfer.
When i got my hero it was the latest all singing, all dancing device that shamed most if not all other smartphones, eventually rooting it made it better, and unless i get to upgrade it every 6 months to me that's the way it'll stay.
I might go for a custom 2.1 rom at some point, be warned the official upgrade removes that possibility for the future, and even if you don't think you'll want to now, you may well change your mind once you've had the phone a while
How are the files stored on your sd card now? Separate folders are displayed separately. Contacts, downloads, camera shots etc I guess you could put them all in one folder but the album has an "all pictures" option anyway so why bother.
All my albums are stored in folders, with artwork, and just drag and drop into the music or mp3, can't recall what it's called right now, folder and display as whole albums in the player. If i want to create a folder just for one artists tracks then again it will display that "album" separately.
Works fine for me as i'm a whole album person rather than using playlists.
Any combination is possible, trial and error and personal preference time, but you wont break anything by trying.
Finally, have google work for you, or you tube, there's a heap of good stuff around, and more applications than my failing keyboard can mention hence rooting and apps2sd has unlimited my app count. No more worrying whether i can fit in that latest market find or what i have to delete first.
new batteries time before i launch this keyboard.....
Thank you! for someone trying to help... i'll soak all that in kind person, and i have the one with the chin
On my original Droid...when on a call using bluetooth, I could still play games on my phone (wifi or normal) and do text messages. On this phone, it will turn the screen off after a few seconds. Adryn has said it's the proximity sensor...yet I'm no where near it. The screen is set to timeout at 2 minutes, yet it barely makes it 20 seconds before shutting off, even if I'm actively using the screen. Has anyone else come across this? Anyone know of a fix?
Ouch. 98 views...and no one has the same issue? You can work on your phone while being on a call?
Is my phone the speshul one that just won't keep the screen on when I'm actually doing something on the screen?
Are you running stock or what? I've no issues
I've also got my screen timeout set for 2 minutes, yet intermittently, it will shut down the screen in the middle of texting, browsing, etc. I have to wake it and unlock it to continue with what I'm doing. Seems to happen more frequently since the Froyo OTA.
Again, posting you have an issue without giving specs on what you're running is pointless and a waste of forum space.
ugh...I had edited the message with my specs, but somehow forgot to save, I guess.
I'm running stock VZW Fascinate. OTA Froyo.

In that case, I would suggest two options. Flash back to Di01 and hope the reinstall of froyo fixes it our since you are already stock take it in to the store.
I'm running ComRom1.3, with Nitro's Honeycomb theme. Haven't made any changes to the kernel speeds or anything.
And was it really necessary to be rude? A simple question is quite polite, but your response was just...dickish. Criticizing someone for wasting forum space is also a waste of forum space. Wouldn't you agree?

No I don't agree, because next time you will be much more clear. I don't know any psychics that frequent the forum. So if you want information on a situation that isn't already a thread...be clear. Why do you think none of the other senior members posted? They don't want to have to keep coming back to a thread for an issue that isn't really specified.
In any case, since you've not tampered with the kernel I would suggest you wipe and reflash. I was running the same setup but with 1.2
Because they had more class than you. You should seek help for your LDS...seriously.
The forums are here to help. Since not all of us are "experts" as you would probably claim...a simple courteous question would be great. You don't have to remove all doubt that you're an ass by criticizing others. It's easier to keep your mouth shut instead of proving you're a ****.
F.O.

Most of that information is horribly horribly outdated. Example, not being able to flash att software on a bell or international atrix. I' ve done it a hundred times. Even lots of pre-bootloader unlock information is still posted as "the way to go".. This thread is a great way to breathe new life into the atrix, relevent ,updated questions and answers , and new working links being one asset. I for one, have some very complex questions and the "noob" info just ain't gonna cut it. I'm starting off simple but I am an advanced android user just new with the atrix and I need to ping-pong and brainstorm with other users at the same level and figured this was a great way to troll the xda site for those more advanced users. And I know the thread will grow because if I'm asking these atrix hardware specefic questions surely there are many others that would like to know the same. If I'm in any way wrong, I'm sure a moderator on the worlds most informative cellular reference site will take this thread down..

Swiftks wrote the N00B guide quite some time ago before he was a forum moderator, and yes, a lot of the information in it is outdated now.
We have a Q&A section, which is where you posted this. If you would like an updated N00B guide then you will probably have to create one yourself, as I doubt Swift has the time to go through and update his. Posting a thread where people ask questions which are then answered in the thread will just cause things to end up being buried deep within pages of one thread. That's why there is a whole Q&A section. New questions are visible, and it's easier to search for already answered questions.
Additionally, any questions you ask have probably already been asked and answered, and on top of that, any answers you put in here may at some point become outdated also, and who will moderate keeping everything up to date in this thread. Much easier to just have the Q&A section which currently exists.
Oh ok .. my bad.. I was probably being a little greedy trying to create one place that had somewhat updated information and especially links.. kinda all in one spot newish. I definitely see your point but figured with some of the silly-fun posting, like ban the one above you, the forum could afford the hard drive space with another thread.. I can abandon the thread if everyone feels it should be... one thing for sure there wouldn't be any megaupload links in it, *yay* lol

Also, the problems I am having no one seems to have a straight answer.. bp issues seem to be taboo, and subject has been barely touched.. once I resolve these issues im having, my activities in the ATRIX forum will be pretty much helping other users with the information i've learned along the way to getting this horribly ota messed up 'trix up,running,and stable..

Oops.. I see what might have happened here. I made a mistake in using the wrong terminology. I didn't mean a new thread, I just meant the subject within the q&a thread. . Not sure but does that seem to make more sense caelant? Bottom line, I'd like to be able to come to xda/Motorola atrix/ q&a/,, I dunno, "q&a/atrix woes" for example, for new up to date information/links on problems that many people seem to be having at this time. . Problems such having to boot in no BP mode, ext 3-4 questions, more info on the recovery menu with the early usb enumeration option and such and what do all the options in there do and how to use them, file system layout, heat issues, basically problems that I see others are having as well lately.. I'm not lazy or anything, lol, I just think that if I kept all my findings restricted to this one area I'm in now , myself, and other atrix owners would greatly benefit... I have concentrated a lot of my time into each and every android device I've ever worked on, and theres quite a few and I must say this frickin atrix is the trickiest yet.. I love it though and can't put it down I've brought a few black screens back to life and this atrix o/s was damaged by an incomplete/completely botched ota update from bell froyo to GB then back to froyo.. My specialty you could say is finding the weirdest most improbable obstacles in everything I do and overcoming them. I like this atrix, even though the touch screen feels like an old lg gw620 eve,...lol (again). I have come a long way with the bricked unit I was dropped off and believe I can go a lot further if I stay right here.. I am more than willing to share and brainstorm my findings on this project with all the fine atrix users here on xda.. if I'm outta line , please people speak up..I think this whole idea can do no harm, and can only see positive results. I dunno, flame me people if I'm mistaken.. All the typing I've already done here I could of solved all the issues and shared the information. I know i could be a real asset to many Motorola users along with a few other manufactured brands here on xda....I'm new here but nit at the game.. seems this area is already getting polluted with my explaining my actions, which is exactly what I wanted to get away from. I do over explain don't i....but I do like to try to be thorough.. Grin.. cheers guys.. let's let majority rule..

Not trying to flame you. I just see a Q&A thread in a Q&A forum as kind of redundant.
My advice would be search for any relevant threads and post in the thread specific to your issue/problem. If there is nothing that is quite the same as your issue/problem, then just create a new thread. I think one of the main things is making sure the thread title clearly states what the thread is about, and make sure to state it is not the same as any similar problems you have found in searches.
Also a good idea to mark a thread as [SOLVED] when it has been, and also make sure to post in the thread what the resolution was so others can see it.
Excellent , very well stated.Keen outlook you have I will admit.,I assumed as much looking over your busy post history. I wouldn't go as far as saying redundant though considering you must assume I have searched for the relevant information I need prior to even thinking of opening this subject "sub thread", (for lack of a better word), I'm just getting a little frustrated with this particular phone because I feel its all about this BP issue and I can't, for the life of me anywhere find much BP information about the atrix. You'd think with such options in the volume down boot menu as the trix has there'd be tons of information on repairing BP issues considering there's 4 or 5 options directly related to it in that fast boot menu.. Between trying to isolate applications and processes which are causing random/frequent reboots and repairing this BP error I must say I'm almost at wits end. Perhaps if you had these problems you might see that pertinent information is next to nill and very vague totally irrevelant or just pkain amature.. I really respect your advice and thank you for it, I can tell you also have a sharp mind, I'm just having a little trouble understanding why you wouldn't support an area, any area where dead links , outdated information, and general chit-chat about unrelated topics would be at a minimum. I'm so fed up of wading through mega-dead-load links, unrelated questions , and inexperienced advice. I don't have the time for that and its looking endless.. I've only had one brick in my repertoire, an x10, and it died mysteriously in my wifeys purse, and patience is running thin for me. I don't want to give up on a phone and throw it in the parts drawer,one that I've brought back to life and is scoring 4000 ish in quadrant scores, but I've been searching for about two weeks now and I've found next to nothing valuable besides a few nice fastwipe scripts. Really zero information on what I know is a common enough problem . What does everyone do, just junk such an intriguing piece of equipment? I'd Hate to say , sometime down the road, I used to have an atrix, worked well now and then, but there was one problem I just couldn't beat. That's gonna eat me up.. while it runs and doesn't reboot it makes my tweaked out infuse look silly and is Running close to my s2. I'm just about out of energy on this one. Has no one in the world fixed or even explored repairing BP issues? Thanks for listening caelent but let's not state the obvious.

Ok i rooted my phone and unlocked it as well. I rooted only for the purpose of only getting a .08 to .3 KBps data speed in an area the is supposed to have been overhauled. I have had the damn phone replaced three times with no results. I have replaced the modem to the best one which still only gives me at best 1.66MBps. Well now when I use the hotspot.......only computer can connect!!!!! NONE OF MY OTHER 12 COMPUTERS CAN CONNECT AT ALL.....AND WHEN IT DOES IT DOES NOT GET AN IP ADDRESS AND WHEN I TRY TO TURN OFF THE HOTSPOT AND BACK ON I GET AN ERROR!!!!! I go into airplane mode and and then turn it off and I am able to connect but only this one damn computer!!!!! how in the hell can I fix this!!!!! PS. PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM....BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS AND I HAVE COME UP WITH NOTHING BUT BULL****!!!! I WANT HONEST ANSWERS TO THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!

If you have CWM then you were already rooted. What method did you use to install CWM? What "best" modem did you install? What ROM are you using? What method did you use to unlock? Where did you look? What searches have you done? I can go on an on with the questions......
I think it best to speak in a softer/nicer tone especially when asking for help. There are a lot of people here that are more than willing to help those that have a genuine interest in learning.

See this is what I am talking about.....I spent 5 months on the phone with AT&T and get nowhere.......been searching this site as well with no luck and every post I see is always somebody saying something rude like "REALLY????" That is not help but just plain sarcastic BS that does not help fix the problem!!! All I want is a simple answer on how to fix this problem not "REALLY?"

I don't know an answer to your question.
I have rarely seen someone come into this forum with the attitude you are showing in a first post. It'll be interesting to see if you get any help.

Is there an all caps autodelete script running on this server? If not then we need one. When I see all caps I seem to fly into an insane rage for some reason. A character defect of mine doubtless...

All I know is I have been searching and searching on this site for over a week and there is no solution to my problem. And every post I see has pages of posts saying you did not say much or search these forums before you post!!!!!! I DID SEARCH!!!!!! AND I WANTED TO STATE RIGHT OFF.......THAT YOU SHOULD SEARCH!!!!!!! I DID THAT!!!!! I do not know what more you want me to explain!!!!
1. Rooted my phone using ODIN with the ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3
2. Installed Superuser-3.0.7
3. Unlocked my phone with Galaxy S Unlock", the author is "Helroz"
4. After this I get the triangle and Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 on the splash screen.
5. Tried every modem and the best one seems to UCLC2 Modem.
6. After I did all this one one computer can hookup to my hotspot.
7. When a second computer tries to hookup.....First computer losses connection and second one never connects to get an IP address.
8. When you turn off the Hotspot it give you a message "ERROR"
9. In order to get reconnected I have to turn on airplane modes and then off and then the first computer can connect again.
I am just sooooo upset with this ****!!!!! Been fighting AT&T for 5 months with no results. And even with all the modems I have tried I get no more speed then at most times of .3 to .7kbps!!! I can't even download all the original files to restore completely to stock because I am getting about an 80% packet loss!!!!! And the download always fails anywhere from 50 to 70% I am so frustrated with this I am about to take a sledge hammer to this phone and tell AT&T to stick their network where the sun don't shine!!!

K, i'm going to bite my tongue for a bit and try to help you. But you really are sounding like a demanding vulgar little child. So please tone it down and sound grateful so some smarter people might be tempted to help you solve your issue.
What ROM are you using? What security protocol are you using? I'm going to assume you're using Windows 7 on all your machines.... What are you setting as your network location? Home? Work? Public?
Have you already tried the basics.... wiping cache, wiping davlik, fix permission? Have you done a factory reset?

Just to start out.......I am not a demanding vulgar little child..........STOP WITH THE BS........I Happen to be a CCDE (Cisco Certified Design Expert) I know what I am doing and have the basic knowledge of phones!!!! I did all the basic stuff. I am very tired I have been dealing AT&T for months, I have been on this forum for days!!!! And I work 16 to 18 hours a day!!!!! And all I want is to be able to connect more then one computer on my hotspot....THAT IS ALL!!!! I AM COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM!!!!! And I may have sounded vulgar starting this post.....but I want to lay the thread out properly by saying........I am not a noobie, I don't want post saying did you search......did you do the basics.....I already did that!!!!!
Now for the questions to your answer.....I have not changed the rom....it is the stock rom.
2. I turned off all security at this point to make sure that was not the problem.
3. All my computers are running xp as I would never put windows 7 on my machine.
And as for network location I have know idea what you mean by that.......as I have changed NOTHING except installed CWM and the unlock program. I also flashed the phone with all the modems to see what gave me the best speed which was the UCLC2.
4. I restored the efs folder and relocked the phone. Still have the same problem.
5. I just flashed the kernel back to stock and it is still doing the same problem!!
*poppin some extra buttery Orville Redenbacher*
In all seriousness, you gave more detail in the second post than the first. Even though you said you had already started "everything necessary"...
Clay
PS - you managed to anger one of the most helpful people on this forum: creepy. You are soon to anger brokkanik and he's in that same category. Im pretty sure you need to reevaluate your approach or you will receive no help whatsoever. I hope you get this problem resolved soon.

Can I have some? This looks like an entertaining show. I'm somewhat flabbergasted at the balderdash being spewed.
**looks up at the site name**
nope, not the AT&T HELP DESK, nor is it the XDA-HELPDESK....
where are you paying for OUR services that gives you the right to yell at everyone?
you are doing absolutely no good for your case here.

And? So you're good at taking tests. Does that garner you a certain level of respect? My 9yr old can set up a network. I could care less if you're exhausted in dealing with this issue. You're demanding answers. You're not asking for help. If you already claim to know the tone of this forum why all the high and mighty "oh look at me! I'm a CCDE. I know how to configure IP's better than anyone that didn't take the test to become a CCDE. Bow down, answer my questions or GTFO!"?
Now for the questions to your answer.....I have not changed the rom....it is the stock rom.

THANKS ALL YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!!!! JUST WHAT I THOUGHT A BUNCH OF PEOPLE OF HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO BUT....BE THE PROBLEM!!!! I TOLD YOU ALL I AM NOT A NOOBIE.....AND NOT ONE OF YOU SAID, "HEY I HAD THAT PROBLEM AND THIS IS WHAT I DID TO FIX IT" THAT IS EXCEPT THE ONE PERSON WHO UNDERSTOOD WHAT A WAS ASKING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. AS FOR ALL YOU OTHER PEOPLE WHO DID EXACTLY WHAT I ASKED YOU TO NOT DO......... *&^$% OFF!!! OH AND A CCDE DOES NOT CONFIGURE JUST IP ADDRESSES.....I DESIGN WHOLE COMPLETE VoIP NETWORKS!!! oh and close this thread moderator!!
Again thank for the person who pm'd me and was a part of the solution instead of the other ones who had nothing to say but flame!!
dude. get the fkn chip off your shoulder.
you came in here yelling at people, nay, DEMANDING people help you, screaming at everyone even in your first post...
christ, man, what did you expect to get met with? champagne and crumpets?
grow up and learn how to be RESPECTFUL when asking VOLUNTEERS for help....just stop yelling at everyone and you will go a hell of a lot further and people wont troll your posts....
I'm logging in to the site via chrome just so I can report this thread.
Dude, do you have PE problems? Is that the reason for your need to type in caps? To tell people you are a "hot shot"¿ I don't care that you set up voip networks. I care that you are an asshole who types in caps, demands things like a 5yr old and throws around certificate like it's something we should all bow down to. Get over yourself. You may know a ton about networks,I may know a ton about micro architecture (I don't), but that means NOTHING here. Ask and you shall receive. Demand and you shall be flamed.
Anyway, awaiting penalties for this post and grabbing another beer.
Clay

get it right.....i came in here asking for help.........and not hearing people say......like i see on hundreds of threads on here to do a search.......and people should not do this or that.........i explicitly said NOT TO DO THIS!!!!!! I ONLY WANTED SOLUTIONS. AND NOT ONE OF YOU DID THAT!!!! YOU IMMEDIATELY WENT ON YOUR **** ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT DO....THIS IS NOT A HELP DESK.........THAT IS WHY PROBABLY NONE OF YOU WORK FOR A COMPANY LIKE CISCO!!! IF I WAS ON A CISCO FORUM AND SOMEBODY DID WHAT I DID......I OBVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED THAT THIS PERSON IS FRUSTRATED EXHAUSTED ALL OTHER AVENUES AND NEED HELP.
I SURE AS HELL WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON MY HIGH SENIOR MEMBERS HORSE AND YOU ARE RUDE, YOU ARE VULGAR!!! iI WOULD HAVE SAID, "HOW CAN I HELP YOU AND SINCE YOU SAID, "DON'T ASK ME IF A SEARCHED THE FORUMS.....OR DID THE BASIC STUFF." I WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY SAID TO THE TECHNICAL STUFF NOT WHAT ANY OF YOU PEOPLE DID YOU JUST WENT STR8 TO COMPLAINING, WHINING, *****ING AND NOT ONE SINGLE ONE OF YOU DOVE IN AND WENT STR8 TO THE PROBLEM. SO YOU TELL ME WHO IS ON THEIR HIGH EFING HORSES??????
THIS IS WHY THERE ARE THREADS WITH 20, 30, 500 PAGES OF REPLIES!!!!! BECAUSE YOU ARE WORRIED TO THINK YOU ARE MOSTLY ALL KINGS AND RULERS OF THE THRONE!!!! GET OF YOUR PEDESTAL!!!!
NONE OF THIS CRAP HAPPENS ON CISCO'S FORUMS BECAUSE WE ARE ABOUT THE SOLUTION AND NOT ABOUT GIVING A RESPONSE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT THE SOLUTION!!!
SO SAY WHAT YOU WANT.........BUT THIS THREAD PROVES THAT!!!!!! MOST OF YOU THINK YOU ARE BETTER THEN ANYONE ELSE.....YOU ARE NOT!!!
AGAIN THANKS FOR THE PERSON THAT HELPED ME AND EVERYBODY ELSE I WILL NOT DIGNIFY YOUR BS REPLIES WITH ANYMORE REPLIES.
AND AGAIN THANKS..........YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE......IF I NEED ANY OTHER HELP I WILL PM YOU BACK.
