[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] yentlequible:
So I just purchased a brand new Vibrant 4g for the amazing deal of only $250 after I sold my captivate for the same price the other night. I have a question that hopefully can be answered.

1. I have names in my messages? For example. My message might say "Me: How are you doing?" with the incoming being "*name here*: I am so awesome. Nothing can touch my awesomeness". This to me, is a complete waste of my messaging space since I can just look up top to see the name of who it is. My Captivate did not have this same "problem". I glanced through the settings but didn't notice a way to switch it off.

Thanks to anyone who could answer this for me, I really appreciate it. I may think of more questions eventually, but these are it for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] yentlequible:
So do you guys have this happen also? Do I need to post a picture?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ntxchick:
That is just the way the default text messaging app displays messages. If you don't like it, I would recommend downloading another SMS app like Handcent which is fully customizable and doesn't add names.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] yentlequible:
Why didn't my Captivate do this then? It was basically the same phone just without the 4g...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] chrism0483:
I meant to say adobe btw lol . Guys I have searched for adobe on my moto zoom and adobe flash 10.2 came up. It says its a finished version for 2.2 and 2.3 and a beta for honeycomb 3.0. It later says only for 3.0.1 update. I have the 3.0.1 update but when I try to download it says unsuccessful. Anyone else had any Lu k with this. Or would anyone care to try searching and downloading this update. I'm dying for working flash on the xoom as I'm sure everyone else is. Please please let me know your feedback

Thanks in advance guys. Les keep our fingers crossed

Edit: it works perfectly guys. My mistzke. Another reason not to download hacked versions for hulu and crap people post lol

[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
I am in between going to GB and staying where I am at.:confused::confused:

My issue is that I am on a version of 2.2.1 Stock that I obtained through TBH around the holidays....file was literally called "happy holidays from TBH" however, this was the 2.3.320 version of the OTA update, not the 2.3.340 version that everyone seems to have.

So the real question is, can I jump straight from 2.3.320 to GB? OR do I need to flash to 2.3.34 since when I check for OTA updates the phone tells me that I am currently up to date.

If I flash to 2.3.34, then I should probably just go straight to gingerbread rooted. However, how would I get the OTA gingerbread when it comes out? Otherwise I would be right back where I am now in about a month or so.:(

I need to either update to the current froyo and wait for the OTA release of GB, or update to current froyo (2.2.34) and then update again to the new rooted 2.3.3? Right? can someone confirm?

PS. I already have the 2.3.340 .sbf file (445MB) and the 2.3.3 rooted file from p3droid so I am good to go there if necessary.
[Droid X General] smyers1012:
if you have the 2.3.340 sbf go ahead and flash it first just to be sure...then gingerbread the whole process will only take u 30 minutes its really not that big of a deal
[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
I might as well go ahead and update to 2.3.340 however, I am now seeing on droidxforums that there is another version of 2.3.340 called maderstcok...can't post a link but here is a partial url: droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/15666-maderstcok-ota-2-3-340-update-zip.html

The one that I have is from xda via the noobs guide (links to mydroidworld), so I trust that one more... however, this file is an update.zip, not an .sbf. So it could potentially be easier to do?
[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
I would also like to know if it makes any difference if I use the 4.8 version of RSD lite versus 4.9

I am currently using the 4.7.1 drivers as well, pretty sure that that is right, but if there is a newer version, let me know
[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
bump, just want a second opinion
[Droid X General] Andhi:
Maderstckok will get you to where you need to be (2.3.340) I've used it 10+ times it's a great file. Then reboot, reroot, and flash GB.
[Droid X General] Scottbg1:
I used 4.8. It'll work fine.
[Droid X General] the_rev:
Ditto - 4.8 worked like a charm.
[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
thanks guys, downloading now and will update to 2.3.34, gonna check around for some more ideas on whether or not to go ahead and get GB or wait for the OTA...i have seen some threads with issues with wireless tether, which is one of my reasons for rooting in the first place
[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
so far so good, rooted with z4 after updating to 2.3.34 with maderstock....awesome file, best experience yet with the clockworkmod going to stock. Will update to GB tomorrow. Some of the deodexed roms look really good!
[Droid X General] SOCOM-HERO:
done...on GB, added the deodexed and got the stock BWC theme which is working great. Will maybe flash more custom roms later as they become more mature for GB. otherwise, freezing bulr apps.

also strong reports of 4g all over san marcos

the ones i found were very touch and go... when i was in a 4g zone i could go less then a 1/4 mile and it was lost all together..not very strong but decent

Cool I live by adams ave ill have to check it out thanks for reporting this. Also how did u find it? Where u just let me try this here and see what happends? Also how far did it stay on 4g b4 it disconected cuz I live on marlborough and. El cajon blvd so I'm 1 exit away from adams on the 15 freeway
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
I guess I should move down that way for 4G, eh? I never go that way unless it's to go downtown. Guess i'll turn it on next time I head down there and see if there's anything around the port.

I live in Sabre Springs and work in Sorrento Valley and, so far, there hasn't been any 4G around here. It'd probably be the last areas to get it anyway.
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
Schweet. I'll be in San Diego for Marine Corps recruit training, then Camp Pendelton afterwords. I'll fnally get to experience 4g in a couple months
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Coming here for boot? If so, please read on...if not, please ignore.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH. Yeah, if the Marines are still training like they were in '91, you're not even gonna have time to pick your nose let alone pull out a phone. This ain't the Air Force, ya know.
[Epic 4G General] 9kracing:
I'll have to check this out. I live in OB and work in Clairmont and I haven't seen a signal yet. It doesn't even look like Clear is working on it in SD according to their website. Lets hope.
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
Oh I know. But at least I'll get to use it for a few minutes when I arrive at the airport :) Plus, after recruit training, I go to Camp Pendelton. If I understand, it's in the area of San Diego, so in my time off, I will be visiting San Diego :D
[Epic 4G General] jfharden:
Nothing in Downtown/Little Italy area as of yet.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Oh, no. You're gonna be smack-dab in the middle of the desert, I'm sorry to say, and won't see SD again until you're done. The recruit depot is a nice little "Hey, look! San Diego! Cool!" area...then you're bussed up to Pendelton. You might get to see the Boobies, though. Little nuclear power plant on the coast across from Pendleton.

Oh, and make sure to write a letter after the first three days...let me know how you're feeling then. *snerk* Good luck and you've picked the best branch of military out there.

And don't be too hard on the Navy; they're a lot like a sugar daddy: can't do too much to help you out but they sure can sign a nice paycheck. :p
[Epic 4G General] tuttjs:
I thought you get some free weekends. Is that not true?

:D
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Haha good luck bro my wife works at MCRD and she always tells me some stories on how the drill instructors are with the recruits. Lol. Nah not that bad anymore though
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
That's right, remember the Marines are part of the Navy,.... :D

.

tuttjs...just enjoy the military and make the most of it. If you wanted to see the world Navy/Marines is the way with the 6 months deployments..etc. One thing I tell friends that go in, if you get married or are married just stay in and retire, the benefits are great for families then trying to make it in the outside world...lol

Gook Luck and Enjoy :)

I live in San Marcos and haven't seen it yet but have been down in Baja this week. I get back tomorrow and will try it out.
[Epic 4G General] jfharden:
You are correct, the Marine Corps is the men's depertment of the Navy.

It's not true. Your free time will be sitting on your foot locker writing letters, wondering just WTF you got yourself into. Let me tell you though now that I have gone through my military career beginning to end, it's all worth it.

Nothing here in Pacific Beach yet. Very surprising that San Diego, home of Qualcomm, doesn't have 4G turned on yet...
[Epic 4G General] 9kracing:
I keep seeing people post this.... What does Qualcomm and 4G have in common again??? :rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] Isira:
Wrong tech. Qualcomm == LTE, not WiMax, which is why Verizon has 4G deployed here in San Diego.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
So I drove by adams on ramp and got red light I turned my 4g on and it didn't connect. So I don't know if maybe I should park and stand there to see if it picks it up but in a car no go :-(

Clear hasn't showed anything near San Diego ever. It's not even on the list of upcoming cities. IDK what you were looking at when you though you saw 4G service in La Jolla, but it wasn't Clear's coverage map.

It will probably be like many of the other areas clear is rolling out. One or two towers in areas. Some very weird areas too. No major rollouts. They are just putting up single towers to hang on to the licenses.

[Epic 4G General] mi7chy:
Sucks that South Orange County and San Diego have spotty WIMAX 4G coverage. Picked up a LTE 4G device as backup but it has become my primary as it gets coverage almost everywhere, is faster than WIMAX up and down and latency down to the double-digits. Sprint and Sprint should partner and expand 4G LTE.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
All over sdsu I got 4g connection yay!!
[Epic 4G General] damicrobe:
Yeah was there yesterday had great upload speeds 5-6mbps up and 2mbps down. Btw checked clear.com and the coverage has now included natonal city upto free way 54.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
I've spent quite a bit of time in sunny SD and my Sprint coverage has always been excellent there. I could actually even stream HQ YouTube vids over 3G effortlessly. Glad y'all are getting your WiMax on and I hope it's all over the county soon. ^_^
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
There's an app in the market called got clear and it shows u a map of coverage
[Epic 4G General] imtjnotu:
finally got connection in my room to work upload is 1mbps and download is steady at 3
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Where do u live
[Epic 4G General] 9kracing:
Got a lock on the 5 right by the big church in UTC... long enough to do a speed test at 2 down and 1 up. Not bad for being on the freeway.

I still find it odd that SD is NOT on the list of upcoming cities to receive wimax.
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
Using Sensorly, I found that I can get 4G on the street behind mine and up in most of my neighbourhood, but not on my damn street! Boo!!! Oh well, my WiFi is still faster than 4G would be anyway. I am planning on driving around my area a little each day over the course of the next week to fill in some more of the 4G map on Sensorly. I live in the south-eastern most part of College Area, only a few blocks from the La Mesa border.

I got excellent WiMax signal at the intersection of College and Montezuma, with about 5.8 Mbps down on SpeedTest :)
[Epic 4G General] imtjnotu:
La mesa on the north side of the 8...closer to college area
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Ohh OK yeah all that area has coverage
[Epic 4G General] gremlyn1:
I spent some time taking the long way home a few times yesterday and mapped out a little more the area on Sensorly if anyone is so inclined to take a look. I got more of the area south of SDSU and also some more of northern North Park and then along Adams, through Normal Heights over to College Area again. You can see the coverage on their website too, not just the app...

http://sensorly.com/Map/4G/USA/Sprint/wimax-sp#q=92115

There is quite a bit more 4G coverage than I would have expected to find, it's crazy that we aren't listed for getting it but yet here it is. Some of this was even done after 8pm, so it's not like they are turning it off after the work day is over.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
At the wings & things right there by montezuma college area here's a pic

Not bad at all ;)
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Its crazy that people post messages like this and don't even read posts back throughout the thread explaining the 4g coverage you found.

It does not look like there has been much expansion to this lately.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgill3:
I just got my first Android device -- A CDMA Hero on Sprint.

I'd like to:

-Root the phone

-Install 2.2, with Sense UI

-Overclock it

I have found so much information online and am slightly overwhelmed. Can anybody clearly explain what I should do?

Which method of rooting should I use for this phone? I am running 2.1-update 1. What ROM should I use? And how do I get sense on it as well? Also which overclock method is most recommended??

Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sangredelsalvador:
I rooted my old hero with z4root. Look for it in the forums or dowload it from 4shared.com, its the easiest way to root. Its a simple apk to install. Hope it helps :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostov22:
yeah... z4root will give you root and super user but i am not sure about the recovery...just get rom manager off the market and flash Recovery...it is the first option in the menu when you open the app...after that make a nand back up and you are ready to flash another rom...if you want 2.2 i recommend aosp 2.2 ...while it is not sense...it is a very good and fast rom
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJinWV:
There isn't a complete working 2.2 Sense build.

Most of the newer ROMs have overclocked kernels built in.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3draid3r:
I got my Hero in September and just rooted about 2 weeks ago. I tried to do it using the unrEVOked exploit but it was a no-go, possibly because I had the newest xxxxx.7 version of the Sprint software. I had success rooting with the "Rage in the Cage" exploit, but I can't seem to find the guide I used to root. You could always revert to a previous version of the Sprint software and follow the guide for rooting a 2.1 Hero on this forum - it can be found on the "sticky" in the Hero CDMA Development Forum.

Or you could keep it simple and just search RegawMOD for a one-click root.

Then just download setCPU from here or the market to OC.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:

This is an exaggeration that's been thrown around since the feature was introduced. They really do not drain an excessive amount of battery, especially if they are well made. I've gone with and without them and haven't noticed a change in battery.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] xriderx66:
It comes down to what lwp you use.if you use the nexus wallpaper which constantly moves even in background, then your going to kill your battery, but if you use well developed ones it doesn't take THAT much.
