I hope this is not true.
Bye

It's true. And why shouldn't they charge if the hosting costs them money? It's only €2 after all.
However, I hope they don't charge if you've already downloaded a specific firmware and it's cached on your pc. That would be unfair.

As long as flashtool is free we don't have to worry

i think 2€ will not harm anybody

It's just 2€, nothing to be sad about.

"It is just 2€ and don't worry it is small matter"...
Are you kidding me?If my phone bricked several time for testing a new Rom,I need to pay 2 EURO everytime???:banghead: 2 Euro cost me so much money (in my currency,it is cost RM7-8....)

No, you need 0€ (that's about RM0 I think) because FlashTool is totally FREE.

flashtool does NOT have ROMS inside it !!!
especially when you need a specific regional stock rom like Middle eastern :S
and a 1€ = 16 in my currency
and my country would not even let me BUY credit :S

Oops. I accidentally press thanks button. Anyway, maybe you can start downloading your fw backup now.

In my opinion the € 1.99 for "wotanserver" are completely justified. I have arranged a "brick".

Unless your a developer, if you're bricking your phone several times you might want to revaluate what you're doing wrong.

Sadly it would appear you get charged every time you flash, even if you have already downloaded the f/w from Wotan.
I've managed to download the ICS and GB FTFs I regular use from that horrid uploaded.to site (it took about an hour for the GB f/w) and will use Flashtool in future.
I don't have a problem with Wotan charging but this should be once per-f/w - if you have a cached copy then it should be free no?

PLEASE HELP !! I bricked my phone and have paid 1.99... And downloaded wotanclient... when i try to connect the phone, wotanclient shuts down ( "wotan client has stopped working").... i have done it once before, it worked then...
Edit: I just flashed new firmware with Flashtool... All good...

Well done for fixing it. You could have tried Right clicking on Wotan Server and running the program as Administrator.

and 4 other country it s said :crying:

Its a file hosting service you are paying for like rapidshare why not download free. Flash free. Live free. 90% of Fw are freely downloaded and there are many torrents from 1 Fw to 100 1 gig to 30gigs.
Why use wotan?
Eg. Omrion tech had something similar for the PSP. Started free. Then 2.00 USD and 2 month later gone. Some times it doesn't pay to make people pay.

Hulu on Vibrant (Froyo)

It's been a while since I've seen a definitive thread on Hulu and galaxy s.
Here's a good thread from the fascinate with clockworkmod zip and a .apk install. Works just fine on the Vibrant, sometimes you have to close the background process of the hulu app.
Hulu streams quite smoothly on the vibrant too!

What he means is data throttle. All the wonderful sim-lock carriers in the US is capped at 5gb of data. If you exceed 5gb, then you'll be throttled slower than dialup. Technically its unlimited, but throttled.

What I don't get is it is in Hulu's best interests to have Huly playing (their free version) on any and every mobile device out there. Its the market foot print for their advertising. Their marketing dept needs to go back to school!

Oh yeah I forgot about that... that is pretty dumb. 5GB in one month is a lot of usage though. I've never even come close to that, but that's not to say I wouldn't with Hulu. Giving it a try though.

It's the networks (crying about DRM) who are holding it up, not Hulu.
Hulu did announce last month official support for Android is coming soon.
Hulu's marketing team understands that just fine. The people who don't are the old school content companies that own it(Comcast/NBC, Disney/ABC, News Corp, etc.). They still think that by locking down their content, it will force people to keep paying out the arse for it, rather than just pushing more people away.
Wait so is hulu free for vibrant?

Thier up-coming free android app will be (i assume) for their Hulu+ line up. Which is their paid $7.99/mo service. I will also assume that Hule has no desire to reslease their free website for the Android browser to watch shows, because they see Google TV as a competitor not a platform. Yet, I built my windows box hooked to my hi-def TV and can watch streaming Hulu content all day long through my windows box (i cut my cable about a year ago). Microsoft is not pay Hulu one nickle, but Google TV (android) is seen as a competitor!
To answer you question, NO - Hulu is not free on your android device, unless you can find a hack to watch it.

[Pending]50GB Box.Net Cloud Storage for free

I think many of us had read this news on various sites, but still, i wanna post it here. According to Sony Blog, when you sign in with your Xperia device, you will get a free 50GB cloud storage for free[as much as they offer to iPhone and iPad, hurray!]
However, i tried installing and uninstalling the apps several times, i still havent get my 50GB yet. Anyway, i think this is a good news for us, at least it is for me.
What do you guys think?
Source
[It only works on your mobile!]
Link to box.net apps on market
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.box.android
And what perhaps are the terms of agreement?
Nope
saw this yesterday i was just to post this but saw afterwards it only gives 5 gb
I borrowed my moms ipod touch for a few minutes to take advantage of this a week or two ago dunno if I'll ever use the space though.
Try following the minus.com link in my signature...starts off with 10gb for free....if you get enough people to join from your recomendation you can get upt0 50 gb (1gb per person that joins from your link)...I currently have 19gb
with your help i can get more
Okay, now LG gives similar offer too, and from my sig, you should know what i had done... And guess what? i get my extra 50GB at the instant i sign in!! Hurray! Waiting for SONY one then i'll get tha mighty 100GB~
Did it, gave me 5gb. Guess you only get 50gb if you log in from Stock ROM .
Looks like SE was a bit early with this info:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...egrading-box-for-android-mobile-app/#comments
No, i have only 5 gb
Wonder if it's only for new signups, I don't want to sign up too early and get stuck with only 5gb

So, if everything went okay, you will now have a 50GB box.net account. But what's the use of it when it doesn't support synchronization? Well, there's an app for that!
Click on the image below to go the the apps page...
I'm not sure if it works with the lite version (I guess it does), but I'm using the paid version.
First: add your box.net account in "accounts", then go to "folder pairs" and select the folders to sync.
Done!

Save and reboot. Register an account. You have 50GB
Its now working for SE without any sys edits. Just download box and you get your popup on registration saying that you have been upgraded to 50GB..

Enjoy!
yes, it is working. SE announced it on it's twitter account.
I have logged to my old box.net account and get premium 50 GB (total) of space.

I still cant stack that 50GB on my x10... Nvm, i have obtained mine from LG.

Anyone use Google wallet yet?

Mastercard ONLY
I would REALLY like to use it and in fact was looking forward to doing just that until I found out you can only use Mastercard with the stupid thing? I mean wtf, I don't want to have to use my MC to purchase crap, who does this, unless you're trying to get cash back or freq-flier miles? The pre-paid card from what I understand is bogus too? Why would I go to the trouble of funding a " virtual" credit card with money from my Mastercard so I can use my phone at McD's?
Now, if there was a way I could somehow fund all my purchases with my debt card? THATS what I was hoping to be able to do? I would think there'd be a way to do that but out of all I've read so far, nothing sounds promising? Does somebody know of a way around the Mastercard limitation?

Its not just ANY MC either.. it has to be theirs.. the Citi one.
and was really disapointed in the Loyalty card selection as well.. no grocery stores or drug stores or any other useful ones.
Yea I would have thought this would have really expanded fast, not at the snails-pace that it seems. I mean wallet has been around for a long time, at least a lot of my e-purchases are recognised as "wallet" transactions
i used it this am at Circle K for a fountain drink and some chips .... I just rooted and flashed a rom hoping it will work again this evening
i can't believe what a flop google wallett is. how dumb you can only use one specific card or add money to a google gift card?
beyond stupid. who would ever use it unless you just happened to have that citi card? getting out my card is easier

I used mine at McDonalds today, they were like "whoa, wtf? That's awesome!" They had never seen it before. Pretty simple though, once your card is setup, you wait till the point where you would swipe your card, tap the phone to the NFC reader, it'll prompt you for your pin, and then you tap it to the reader one more time, and voila!

I had the update loop after installing an OTA update from sprint. I just cleared the app data and uninstalled updates for google wallet and it started working again.
Hopefully they will add more card options soon. If I could use my visa debt card it would be awesome but for now I don't see the point in transfering money to the google card just so I can use my phone to pay.

I'm in no rush, though, as there's still so very few places to use it (even in NYC), and I'm not about to putz around getting a rooted version working and risk getting it banned for life or whatever. This crap "should just work", but it doesn't.
(and I even have the damn citibank MC card that everyone complains you need to use, and I still don't care. (It was also lame that Citibank renamed their diamond preferred MC to the boring "ThankYou Points" Mastercard a few months back)

It's only a "flop" because the banks and carriers have all decided to create their own competing systems, not Google's fault they think we'll pay extra for NFC payments

As far as I know, I didnt force anyone to do it.
Then you should know that this method is more secure since you will get unlock code, and not patching files with HEX editing.

Using an unlock code is ALWAYS better than patching files.
If you unlock via unlock code then you will never have to worry about Samsung breaking any patches or exploits because its 'official'
I unlocked via an unlock code 2 months ago and never had any of the problems people had with voodoo and others when they updated their ROMs.
So far GalaxSIMUnlock has proven to be very effective but who knows if Samsung will patch the exploit. An unlock code is permanent.
Edit: just seen the OP post date. Nearly two months ago, if there was any progress we would have seen it by now.

Will it work on ART?
I think it's just ridiculous that Facebook developers think asking for thanks much permission just for a social network app is ok/acceptable!!

Heh... This reminds me of that South Park episode. Apple and the human centipede.
I used to never pay attention to permissions...but after seeing this it is ridiculous. I'm installing xprivacy as we speak. But imagine all the data that they get from people who don't root or use privacy tools on their phones??

if u ever get ur identity stolen by them u could easily sue them..i dont think a multimillion dollar company would want to go bankrupt for committing frauds
they are making multi million from users data... so you have to take care of your own privacy
installing xprivacy now ... thanks to those who suggested this app
Hrmmm, so let me get this straight...
**Runs automatically at startup
**Can open internet connectivity at will without user consent
**Can download files at will without user consent
...isn't that malware (by definition)?
I have mandated that my wife uninstall that bloated POS FB app since a few months ago when the permissions started getting bad... but this update takes the cake! I'm telling everyone I know to just use FB through a web browser!
Thanks OP
I'm going to give tinfoil a try.
It is essentially a "pretty wrapper" as the dev puts it for the facebook mobile site. Thanks for the post OP, I hadn't thought about what permissions the FB app was using with the latest update, I need to pay more attention.
If anyone wants the Facebook app before the latest (the one without all the permissions) its here - https://mega.co.nz/#!50l2mArA!cfLEwuLOT7-72Cknq3M4hAJtHAMWXxqK7P0X-tiBEDs

Tin foil hats anyone?
Seriously, fair enough if you want to worry about this but I personally couldn't give a toss. I have an unlimited data plan so if it wants to turn my WiFi off (which it NEVER has) then go for it. If they want to read my SMS, go right ahead seeing I get about one a week!
If you're not happy about it, don't use Facebook at all
Xprivacy doesn't work on ART
It's the sending emails without user knowing that seems questionable more than anything else to me

I can say with 100% certainty that it has not sent an email to anyone from my address to date cause if it did I'd have a copy on my laptop when Outlook downloads my emails
It probably hasn't to anyone to be fair but why request those ridiculous permissions

Then why is the permission there? If it does not use it why did they added it there?
And when they didnt use the permission till now it doesnt mean they will not use it in the future.
The only way is not xprivacy...
Take care of your data and do not install crappy apps... If all users accept such behaviour, there won't be changes... You are responsible for your data....

I don't know and, to be honest, don't really care. My data is everywhere these days and unless it affects me monetarily I'm not concerned. If I was concerned I wouldn't have smartphone at all

Exactly.... 5 updates down the line they won't need to ask permission as you already granted it and forgot about it by then
