How is that winning. Its a kind of douchbaggery at its finest. as i chose to ignore it because of the fact that he would rather ridicule than help. And You sir, also go down in flames like mr sheen on openning night. How's that for #winning!

Am i missing something here or is being an f*@#tard the standard prerequisite here?

Apparently knobody is reading the mainboard xda forums. They are talking about modding the read cache past 128kb for bigger gains. they're talking about increasing the cache up to 4096kb.

Im a new member here and cannot post in the developement section yet to ask these questions. Sorry.

I don't get it either.

I simply said winning because I've never seen that b4; the animation was actually pretty neat and I found it funny. Were here to help bro not bash(at least I am). Realistically it is that easy to Google search though, but I'm on xda to help so ill Answer anything in my power no matter how trivial.

P.S sheen was ripped to shreds in Detroit I heard, that's sad lol

Thought I'd add some more to this; normally I get 2/3mbs(before zip) write speed and 18mb read even though its supposed to be class 4mb write. I've tried many speed increase packages and this is the only that actually increases my speeds. After I run the zip my speeds dramatically increase.

Here's the zip. Bumps it up to 512 read ahead enjoy.

Thanks. i'll give it a try. saw the post before but thought it was solely for hd2. this guy seems to have used it and it works good.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] hddwiper:
yes the anime was clever and funny.

I do however use google search for everything before asking questions. the only zip i found had to do with the hd2 and did not know it was compatible with the evo.

And yes, sheen was ripped to shreds. lets see if he can recover for his next show. supposedly he's radically changed his program and is now going to a q&a format. probably gonna be boring.

I dont know what people expected his stand up to be like. he's not a comedian.

Thanks.

No prob man I posted a zip above for you that really works to increase speeds both read and write with any kernel.

Hey guys, when I didn't have the extended case I had a seidio one from best buy it was a hard case and it was awesome. I was wondering if there are any that I could buy then mod? Or just buy. Thanks
[Droid Incredible Accessories] talz13:
I'm looking for something like this too. I've seen the htcpedia cases, and the hard rubber ones look good, but my girl is NOT into black or red (the only choices available for hard rubber cases). Silicone is no good either, as it makes it harder to get in and out of her jeans pockets.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Fergusonfox7:
Ahh haha, Yeah i bought the silicone one from htcpedia... I don't use it .. EVER its terrible. i wish they made one like the otterbox or sedio ones.. were its 2 pieces. and slides right on...

this is what i did with the speck case
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Fergusonfox7:
That's what I did to the hard rubber verizon case.

That's my seidio case... Tried to cut it then realized it came together at the part that I was cutting out.

And that's the silicone case from htcpedia. Terrible quality.

What's with all this talk about AT&T crippling the android experience..disabling peoples phones fro not running standard ROMS and all sorts of other horror stories. People who have been with AT&T for a while I would like to hear your opinions and about your experiences...I'm with T-Mobile now but will switch soon due to the buy out...not sure if I will go with AT&T or a diff provider..AT&T clearly has a very large network with great coverage
[Atrix 4G General] cegna09:
where are you hearing these stories? I've been running modded phones on AT&T for years now, and never had an issue. you will only have issues if you are blatantly circumventing them, and using services you aren't paying for. example, tethering on a non tethering plan and sucking down several gigs worth of data a month through it. They can tell you are doing it, and are becoming much less lenient about it.

[Atrix 4G General] G1-8701:
if u read that long post from P3droid, you would see that he said not only At&t but other major carriers too, meaning Verizon and Sprint. But i'm not saying it will happen for sure, but if it does and i had to deal with any phone locked down, it would have to be the Atrix due to it's great performance straight out the box, and the update really increased the already amazing battery, so i'm pretty kool on this issue, not that i agree with it just not as pissed off as most.

Like i said in the other post, tethering is their problem not root in general
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
Yea... it's probably because a lot of people do exactly as others have stated.... they think that they can pull amounts of data that would basically be impossible to do from the phone itself, and expect AT&T to be none the wiser. I've thought about using the free tethering options available.... but then i realised something. When i'm on the go.... i HAVE unlimited internet access on my Atrix..... which when i'm on the go, i don't really need to download massive files. They can wait til i get home on my computer and download them that way.... over a broadband connection. Or if i just have to have that file.... it's much more logical to have a remote desktop connection and remotely download it on my desktop while i'm away than download it to a laptop or other device using a mobile carrier's network.

Do i see something like this going without consequence for AT&T and other carriers taking part? No. Last time i checked, as of July 2010, it is legal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to root/jailbreak your android/apple device. Granted.... that doesn't necessarily mean that you are free to do what you will with said rooted device. I doubt any court would find it legal to root the device in order to circumvent and abuse a service provided by the carrier. But they would have to PROVE that you were using the phone as such. If they start blocking people's phones because they're rooted, they're going to have some serious lawsuits on their hands.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I'm confused a little by your post. Why not just restore from your nandroid backup? Or flash a different rom?

Are you saying that Titanium Backup failed to restore your apps? Cyanogenmod is not Sense, which came with your phone. TB cannot restore apps from Sense.

If you want Sense, use a Sense ROM like Myn's... or Sprint Lovers if you like stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Make sure you are rooted with S-OFF displayed in the bootloader. To do this, turn off your EVO. Now press the down volume button while also pressing the power button until your device starts. You will enter the bootloader screen. You should see either S-ON or S-OFF at the top. If it is S-ON, you need to re-root your device. if it is S-ON, you *should* be good to go. I suggest you start over and follow the below instructions to the letter.

I would redo EVERYTHING from scratch. EVERYTHING meaning the following:

1. Copy the contents of your SD card and place them on your PC/Mac or independent external hard drive.

2. (DISREGARD) Format and re-partition your SD card (Disregard)

3. Place only a newly downloaded rom zip that you plan to flash, amon RA recovery (zip or img), Radio, Wimax, PRI & NV updates on the root of your SD card. The files can be downloaded from the links below:

Odexed Stock Rom -- http://goo.gl/uFdtB

amon RA -- http://goo.gl/cgh5e

Radio Update -- http://goo.gl/PmfKu

PRI Update -- http://goo.gl/A3NE3

NV Update -- http://goo.gl/h8JYf

WiMax Update -- http://goo.gl/qFwCt

4. Shut down your EVO and then press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will be directed to the Hboot screen where amon RA zip file will be automatically detected and you will be prompted to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery.

5. Go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card.

6. Go to the FLASH menu and flash rom but DO NOT REBOOT!

7. Flash the Radio update. You will see a screen with a device & green arrows. Be patient because you will appear to stall. BE PATIENT and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY!!!!!!!!!!!After some time has passed, you will automatically be reboot into the recovery screen.

8. Flash the PRI. What I stated in #7 applies here, as well

9. Flash the NV. What I stated in #7 applies here, too.

10. Flash the WiMax. #7 applies here also.

11. Reboot. you WILL APPEAR TO HANG at the white HTC screen. Do not be alarmed. Be patient and DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY. After some time has passed, you will then see the rom's splash screen and appear to hang and afterwards, you will see your home screen.

12. After you've signed in with your Google credentials, go to menu-settings-System Updates and then select Update profile.

You should be good to go afterwards. Enjoy!...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Sorry for the absence. I had errands to run. Anyway, displaying S-OFF is a good thing. Now let's see if you can get into recovery. You mentioned Unrevoked, so I'm assuming Clockworkmod is your recovery. You also mentioned that you can't pull anything off the card. Can you get into recovery? If so, there should be a mount menu or MS-USB or something to that effect. Select it and your computer *should* recognize your SD Card. Give it a try.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
It is possible. I'm not a fan of ROM Manager. It is far too easy to do it manually from within recovery. Menu with the hat? I'm assuming that's Clockworkmod recovery. I highly recommend that you flash amon RA recovery. It'll only take mere seconds to flash and it will not interfere with your system. Try this...Turn off your device and take out the SD card briefly and then reinsert it. Boot up all the way to your homescreen. Afterwards, go to your file manager and see if you can see the contents of your card. If so, that is a good thing.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootny:
ive tried that 3 times and i got nothing...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
I really recommend that you start over from scratch.

1. Flash amon RA recovery v2.3

2. After the recovery has been flashed, reboot into recovery, go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING including the SD card.

3. Attach the device to your computer via USB, then from within recovery, go to the MS-USB menu and select it. A drive should appear on your computer's desktop or explorer window.

4. Copy the rom zip file you used to install the rom you were using to the SD card.

5. If you were using CyanogenMod, also copy the latest gapps zip to the SD card.

6. Unmount the SD card first from your computer and then from within recovery by clicking the power button on your device.

7. Go into the Flash menu and flash the rom. Do not reboot afterwards if you're going to also flash the gapps zip.

8. Aftervyoure done flashing your rom and gapps, if necessary, reboot your device.

It is possible thar your SD card is fried. Do you have a spare? Do you have a card reader or another device capable of reading the card? Anyway, if you deem the card to be ruined then purchase another one and then start over with a fresh install per the instructions from my recent reply.

So I am baltimore based and before i updated my EVO 4g to CyanogenMod 7 RC4 the Wimax GeoLocation information would show i was in baltimore. But now since i updated to CyanogenMod7 RC4 the Wimax connection runs up to NYC first then connects out. So now the geolocation services on website when i'm using the hotspot mode thing i'm in New York City. Do a google search for coffee and IP geolocation gives me cafes in Midtown Manhattan.

I have a feeling this is something to deal with what server its connecting to but i have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas? I really want my Geolocation to go back to being based in the city i am located.

Everything else works fine and well, 3g, Wifi, GPS, Wimax speeds are decent 2.1 MegaByte ps and 0.25 MegaByte up, ping time though is now 180ms or upwards of 400ms if i'm moving. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?

So Hawk2k8 posted a guide on how to get the 3G Xoom to work on another carrier. http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1016158

My question is, if we buy a Verizon 3G SIM card, can we use it on our WiFi only Xoom? What are the hardware/software differences between the 3G version and the WiFi version? Can we activate 3G on our WiFi-Only version by flashing it with the 3G image and adding a Verizon 3G SIM card?

Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JC3:
Answer

It is not possible to "activate" 3G mobile data on the WiFi Only Motorola XOOM. The WiFi only XOOM does not have the hardware required to connect to any mobile data networks. If you want to use data on the go, but only have a WiFi only XOOM I suggest you purchase a MiFi Wireless Hotspot device. Also, I would suggest you don't flash the system image from the Verizon XOOM, this could lead to a bricked XOOM.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremecream06:
i beg to differ

I have a wifi only xoom, and it does indeed have a sim card tray as well as the connectors. Now it might not have a "3G" radio in it as other have said. Which I find questionable. The reason is that i know these thing are mass produce, and as stated above, it will cost motorola alot more to produce a seperate line of production.

So it make sense for both version to have similar hardware. If motorola did indeed open a seperate production line to remove or not add the 3G radio, then they could have easily use that same oppertunity to disconnet the sim tray or it's connectors. Now lets assumed they don,t have a "3G" radio 3G being the main focus, could it still work with other sim card that are not 3G and don't require a 3G radio? Like the good old 2G or Edge.

If that't not an option, Well there are several more options. The same way you have to send the 3G Xoom in for the hardware upgrade to 4G, does that not mean you can shop online for a 2G, 3G, or even 4G and do your own upgrade. Because worse case they remove the 3G radio, the slot is still there the connectors are still on the motherboard. Ifixit has a tear down.

But I personally think it's all in the gut of xoom, motorola just disable it so that it can't be active. Am not a programmer, but I believe in the long run, the wifi xoom owners will be the winner. Why? Well because for one it was $200 cheaper, even if you have to buy a radio in the future it will cost less or maybe pull one off an old cellphone (jk). And you didn't pay all that money under contract for 2 long years.

Now this is all an opinion so I don't wanna hear anyone being super technical and breaking it down, cuz am not a programmer or a repair guy, but am a hopeful owner if a Wifi Only Xoom. :-) :-)

It might be worth looking into this?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgio1:
Looking at the price break down for parts: google: xoom costs $278

it looks to be about $20+ for the 3g radio that they put in the xoom if they put that in the wifi models aswell they would be loosing all that money, im pretty sure they would not do that.. and it doesn't take much for them to set their assembly robots to not add that part in, also that could be why they are released at different times. Different assembly procedures. Just a thought

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skipzoid:
I appreciate this is an old thread, but it seems the most relevant;

I'm a new XOOM wifi owner, didn't actually want or need tthe 3g version and didn't see the point of the extra spend, however....

Whilst playing with my new XOOM I started downloading some app and found lots that test the various sensors in the device, every app i've found that tests the hardware reports the presence of a 3g/utms modem. Obviously I tried a sim in the slot and like everyone else it didn't work for me, but I also have a device which is basically a sim on a cable for testing phones and repairing them etc, so I plugged that in and there is power on the card slot and I see data on the control lines, this suggests that the hardware (or modem) is in the XOOM and its a software disabled thing and not hardware. To go further is beyond me at this time but it does strongly suggest and supoort the above posts with regard to all xooms being the same and its just software inactive.

HP did a simular thing with their pda's, with them it was a case of changing the product code within the device via a util and doing a device update which loaded the firmware for the other model with the extra features.
