When people say Detroit they are generally speaking of the suburbs.

Since no one practically lives in the city anymore.

As far as your crime comment please point me in the direction of the part of my post that talked about crime.

Here was the point of my post :

It is a FACT that most of the city of Detroit is empty.

People have moved to the burbs and that's all there is to it.

Windsor isn't even in the U.S. and the other cities I mentioned aren't any better off than Detroit ...so why waste your time and START in an empty area??
[EVO 4G General] Makdasamurai:
O.O

Seriously?? I live about 20m from Kzoo i'm gonna have to go check this out.
[EVO 4G General] Spiderman313:
Well tell that to the 715,000 people who still live there.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
A number that is likely still an overestimate, a good majority of those people likely don't even have cell phones.

I can't find any kind of breakdown unfortunately though.

At any rate, the point is this, they are rolling it out in areas that are largely empty.

There's been estimates that 40% of Detroit's city limits are empty for god sake.
[EVO 4G General] Spiderman313:
It seems you have a problem with Detroit. I find that hard to believe that Detroit is "empty" as you say. All I on a positive not is that I'm glad Detroit and other cities in Michigan are getting 4G.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Why would anyone have a positive thing to say about that city?

And if you don't believe me look it up.

They've talked about it on the news a bunch.
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
I'm in the city all day, every day. Seriously, it is like a 3rd world country in my opinion. There is maybe a square mile or two of pretty nice stuff.
[EVO 4G General] thmgombosi:
So I did some digging WMU actually had it up and running since mid March. I live in the Oakwood neighborhood and its spotty in my house. But outside I get good coverage.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What are your speeds looking like?
[EVO 4G General] androidrookie84:
Toledo please hurry up and get 4g
[EVO 4G General] Spiderman313:
Its sad to see people think this way. I'll take it you both are Caucasians?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Please do not bring race into this.

This has nothing to do with race.

All I'm saying is...why bother STARTING in an area that's generally vacant?

Seems to me, especially in Sprint's position, they want to service as many PEOPLE as possible, not just area.
[EVO 4G General] Buff McBigstuff:
If you have a problem with detroit then maybe you should move so that you don't have to live next to us. As far as the empty land goes we're starting a reverse annexing plan. Soon those empty areas will be a part of oakland and macomb countries.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
no 4g in wyoming, mi where i am. closest i get it is in downtown grand rapids.
[EVO 4G General] jefbal99:
www.clear.com/coverage there are random towers popping up all over the place.
[EVO 4G General] Makdasamurai:
I love that i'm a rep for sprint but i had no idea about some of these 4g towers popping up.
[EVO 4G General] jefbal99:
Its because this is "Clear on the Go" coverage. These are not official Clear/Sprint 4G city launches. Look at Grand Rapids (or any other "Clear City"), all their coverage is dark green on the map. They have towers and repeaters all over the place so that 4G is available in buildings, basically everywhere.

Clear on the go service is their mobile data card for laptops. If you live in a light green coverage area, you can't sign up for Clear's home service, just on the go.

Any sprint 4g device can utilize any part of Clears Wimax network, however, Sprint/Clear won't advertise is as available as the coverage is sparse and spotty.
[EVO 4G General] slipshft:
These sites are for spetrum holding. There will be some more coming on-line in detroit shortly. While they will provide access, they do not have the full bandwidth available so you experience may vary.

Just wanted to end some of the speculation.

So i looked around for a bit on here for MMS problems, and i couldn't find anything. When i was running WinMO 6.5 i could send MMS just fine. My friend rooted my phone with Android, and now when i send MMS it just says sending...

and never sends the message. I sent something last night, and when i woke up it still said sending...

Is there a fix for this? i do have MMS service enabled though T-mobile, and i can receive picture messages just fine. I was using stock app for the messaging, but then i though, hmm, i saw one on the market. so i used Handcent and the same problem occurred. Help would be greatly appreciated (:

edit; now i asked a friend to send me an MMS, and it says downloading and never downloads either!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] officialbambam:
I also have the same problem. But if you wonna receive the pictures just turn your mobile data on and then go to mms and click download. It should work but this doesn't seem to work with sending the MMS.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nanaychris:
Same here, just need to know that modules work together with the mms.apk
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reinspired:
Check and see if the data is enabled. That may be a solution.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] knifeproz:
The thing is I don't have data so I have it off at aall times :P

Edit: just turned on data for the Lulz to see If it would work, nothin :/

[G2 and Desire Z General] moshe22:
Hi Guys I recently bought this phone that I like overall. Recently i have been running out of space on the internal memory. I am really not here to bring down the hopes of anyone on this phone but I want a real honest answer since I have spent 500.00 on this phone and still have one more day to exchange it.

Do you think i should exchange this phone for a G2? Should solve the Internal memory issue. Dev seems to be very active and I am hoping to keep this phone for at least a year if not more so i will be probably rooting and customizing this phone with new ROMS. Galaxy S 4g is also my first Android phone and I know is newer than G2 but not sure if it's actually better .

So your advised and thoughts are greatly appreciate it since tomorrow I will be making my final decision wether to keep this one or not.

So my questions is should i exchange this phone taking in consideration that I will be keeping for at least a year and also will be hoping to add new ROMS and rooting. Also need a phone with good battery life and snappy.

Any other input/thoughts/ideas that i might have missed would be also appreciate it and thanks for helping me choose wisely.
[G2 and Desire Z General] noc215:
I never owned a galaxy S 4G, but I do have a captivate. My advice to you is that every phone has its own ups and downs. Personally, I loved the captivate's camera quality (despite it having no flash, wtf). It took better photos and videos, both indoor and out compared to the G2/DZ. Samsung does a good job in the multimedia department. Only you can decide what's important for yourself.

As for your memory issue, have you tried checking the forum section for your phone? The galaxy S line always had a huge dev community.
[G2 and Desire Z General] danow11:
I came from a vibrant, and I couldn't be happier with my g2. The vibrant dev community has lost a lot of momentum, and g2 support is outstanding. Ill sell my sgs line phone just waiting on a buyer.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moshe22:
Thanks for your answers guys. Anyone else has any other thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z General] MorphiusFaydal:
I just traded my Vibrant for a G2 as well. Definitely liking the G2 a lot more (falling in love with the keyboard and the design on it - it doesn't feel like it's going to break when I pick it up. SGS has too much plastic for my tastes).

The camera, while not as good as the one on the Samsung, is still sufficient for quick snaps. (If you're looking for really high quality imagery, I think a dedicated digital camera is the way to go).

As far as app storage space is concerned, I never had any trouble on the Vibrant. I believe the G2 has the same amount of internal memory dedicated to app installs, so it wouldn't really help. Maybe moving some apps to SD would help gain some space back on the internal storage?
[G2 and Desire Z General] moshe22:
Well in this case the storage thing is a little different between the vibrant and the galaxy s 4g. the galaxy s 4g has only 512mb of internal space were the vibrant had more.

I think I will switch, Just because of the more customization options.

Does the G2 has WiFi Tethering?
[G2 and Desire Z General] LGS1231:
Good choice. Let us know how you like it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] danow11:
I can't recall if it had tethering in stock form with cm7 yes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sakazuki:
The G2 should have Wifi tethering stock as well as Wifi calling, I remember TMobile activating these features on the G2 when the Mytouch 4G was released. This was before I rooted and started using Cyanogen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] chancy319:
Yes. The G2 has WiFi tethering. Also, on the G2 spec sheets it says it has 4GB but in actuality it's 2GB (some people attribute it to the pre-installed apps). Therefore, if memory is the breaking point of your purchase then definitely go for the G2 as it has more memory. Good luck.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eunkipark92:
Its included in vibrant custom roms, wifi calling and tethering.

How to fix the gps on the Samsung captivates GPS.

Insted of MS Based use MS assissted

Lbstestmode	-> application settings -> operation mode-> MS Assisted

Let me know how it gose
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
*facepalm*

This does nothing. It makes it marginally better at best (read: not better at all). If you're really having that much trouble, flash to KB1 and use the PlumbBob GPS fix. Those ACTUALLY do something.
[Captivate General] crenshaw1979:
For most your suggestion will give them the most lag and least accurate GPS positioning.

I suggest you in stall Adams GPS fix to your phone, that or use ga_D's. (gadnarf_gpstweak_att)

Both are much better than what Samsung has provided...

There is also plumbBob GPS fix, but when I tried his version 2nd Beta 6, my GPS only saw 2 sats with no locks even with 10+ minutes of waiting... I did not try version 1 of his fix.

As for the GPS settings, use either Standalone or MS Based(some drift with this setting, much less than ms assisted) . Set your support server to google, distance to 80 and good luck...
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
MS Assisted = uses cell towers only to determine position. Intended to be used for 'dumb phones' that are not GPS equipped or where only 'coarse' location data is required.

MS Based = uses cell towers to provide approximate location for initial fix, then GPS thereafter.

Thing of it is, Samsung's configuration interface for the GPS is so silly that changes in LbsTestMode don't always really affect anything. If you're getting good results after applying this 'fix' it's just coincidental, or perhaps that you'd finally used GPS long enough to get almanac and ephemerides downloaded over the satellite signal and your GPS was able to function unassisted.

What about this has anything to do with development?
[Captivate General] Rrryan2:
2.0 is in beta. It's still in development and is very much a work in progress and still has some issues. 1.0 is stable.

After flashing Andromeda v3, the gps works great! Gets a lock and STAYS locked for once!
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
My personal experiences with MS Assisted and supl.google.com etc are that it works great for a few days... Tracking and all. Then you start to only see satellites and never get a lock...

The GPS on my warranty replacement works great out of the box.
[Captivate General] Dedicated_Dad:
Would you please be so kind as to post the info on the phone?

What's under "settings-->about phone:

--> Model Number

--> Firmware Version

--> Baseband version

-->Kernel Version and

--> Build Number?

What's under the battery? (aka 1004, 1008, etc -- mine says "1010 rev. 0.4"

Thanks!!

DD
[Captivate General] Dedicated_Dad:
I decided to make this a separate post...

My original phone had all sorts of trouble - GPS was the worst. I don't know what my original one was, I do recall I'd applied the OTA update that was supposed to fix the GPS issue - it didn't.

So I got a warranty replacement phone - it worked fine out of the box, but the next day it was doing the same old crap.

This one came with the OTA update pre-installed. It's a "1010 rev. 0.4" if I'm reading the sticker under the battery correctly...

I read countless pages of stuff online, tried various "fixes" that were posted, all with similar results.

One discussion I read was posted by a guy who claimed some GPS expertise, and indicated that the problem was in the driver - to paraphrase from memory it was something like the cache was getting corrupted and the HW/driver wasn't cleaning it up.

He basically said that they needed to write a new driver, but until hen you could use a 3rd-party app to clear the cache and re-download clean data from the satellites.

I found a (FREE!) app called "GPS Status & Toolbox" by author "EclipSim" (Disclosure: I have NO CONNECTION to this guy, just like his app!)

It has 2 menu options:

"Tools -->Manage A-GPS State-->Reset" and

"Tools -->Manage A-GPS State-->Download"

After doing those, it will usually grab a fix within 15 seconds at most. Once it's "timestamp" is updating every second (you'll see, in the app) I can then switch to Google Maps and it too will get a fix before too long.

Another nice thing about the GPS Status app is that it shows you how many satellites you "see" vs how many you're connected to. When it only sees one or 2, or when it sees a bunch but isn't connecting, you can be sure you need to reset/download again...

This thing DOES eat battery - so it's a good idea to be plugged in, or to kill the app once you've got Maps working the way you need it to...

Yes - it's a PITA to have to do all this to get a basic function of this high-dollar phone to frigging work - but it beats having it NOT work...

Hope this helps someone!

This is a refurb warranty replacement which came loaded with 2.2 Froyo

SGH I897

I897UCKB1

2.6.32.9

1008.

Tested again last night on two rides. Worked great even sitting in the cupholder. Major improvement over my original Captivate which was returned for speaker problems.
[Captivate General] james.arroyo:
not really much better for me.
[Captivate General] mwiz123:
it dose try it
[Captivate General] solinar:
Plumbob didnt do much for me. I am pretty well convinced that with the utmost optimization, the crappy hardware in the captivate can operate marginally well at best.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Ryans Plumbob fix does work. Its a much better improvement over stock on defected models. I had a 1009 and it worked great but the tracking and navigation were still buggy unless the phone was placed on the dashboard. (Always had a larger blue circle and would skip at times).

Finally gave up and noticed that the local atnt is a device service center. Went in and got a refurbed 1008 with stock 2.2 and the navigation is excellent. Even sitting in my lap...

I mean you all should still have the 1 year warranty. Just find a service center and exchange your phone. Hell the refurbed one I got was in better cosmic condition then my original.
[Captivate General] DaWongOne:
I'm running Andromeda3 and my gps sucks!! Could it be google maps?
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i know everyone will tell me im wrong but try running the samsung gps restore app once then remove it from your phone. it is free in the market. and i assure you t doesn't revert to stock settings. atleast not in any location that i am aware of. i have checked the jupiter .xml and secgps.conf and lbs test mode before and after running the app and it doesn't revert anything. but it does seem to clear errors that may be caused by messing with settings without haveing a proper jupiter.xml or config file first. for instance on old roms if i chose msbased mode in lbs test mode it would work for 6 minutes and turn off. even after reverting the settings and clearing gps data the gps would turn off after 6 minutes. running gps restore or doing a factory reset were the only two things that would make my gps work again.

also yes google maps and captivates dont agree with each other 100% of the time. it is thought by some that the gps is recieving interference from the cell antenna (that's one theory at least) so the more data you use as you navigate the more issues you might see if that is true. try a gps app that downloads the maps to the phone. it takes up alot of space but if the app agrees with the phone it is worth it. in the past i had trouble with some aftermarket apps as well while others swore the same apps had solved there navigation problems, so try a few and find one that works. navdroyd is great on my phone.

also, though people are raving about plumb bob's fix, i have more blue circles with it. the problem is the msbased mode. it doesn't work on my phone very well. (back to the data/interference theory) i instead use Da_g's fix the control plane version with lbs test mode supl settings set to control plane and i turn off dynamic accuracy. and i use the kc1 modem. there are other modems with good gps but kc1 has the best call quality of them.
[Captivate General] Elektrisk:
The best fix I've found for the Captivate's faulty GPS is "invest in a reputable phone manufacturer like HTC and drop Samsung".

Do you have a VOIP account?
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Why does this look incredibly familiar...?

tl;dr:

Need SIP provider that connects to POTS.

Need SIP account at said provider.

Need to add POTS number for said SIP account as a phone in Google Voice.

PBXes used to fulfill these requirements, but they're out of capacity for free users (and also skipped going over POTS, instead tying into the Gmail Chat widget's system). Sipgate could provide such an account, but their quality can be meh, won't do calling without GV Callback, and frequently run out of numbers.
