[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
I can't think of a single game I've played on my phone(s) that required multi-touch.

Admittedly, I'm kinda tight-fisted so I've really only played the decent free ones like Angry Birds, Paper Toss, Bubble Blaster etc.

As for Google Maps and a phone's homescreen, fair enough I forgot those uses but it's basically the same as the web browser - zooming in and out.

And I'd wager most people zoom in and out on a web browser far more than they do on their handset's homescreen.

Even if NFC were only used for payments, it still makes it far more useful than multi-touch which, lets face it, we could all live without.

But as I say, the possibilities are endless, it's just a matter of thinking more broadly.
[Xperia Arc General] louis0815:
Indeed, the possibilities are endless - but as long as these are not transformed into useful applications I don't think I need NFC capabilities. Most probably the arc will be history before I start using NFC...
[Xperia Arc General] diggedy:
Thats also my thoughts. Supposedly my bank card has the technology being from barclays but Ive never seen a place to use it or had the need. In fact it was only a couple of years ago when the chip and pin was fully implemented, it took several years to be phased in and I dont see that disappearing soon.

you could always go mcgyver on it like this guy did

[HTC Incredible S] nixguy:
so i was in the mall today and i saw that virgin mobile has the htc incredible s when i asked him if it's gsm or cdma he told m that it works on hspa sim card, so i asked him if he ment gsm sim card, he told me no, it's hspa sim card.

i asked him for the frequency and he did not know

what is the hspa sim card?
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
HSPA supports increased peak data rates of up to 14 Mbit/s in the downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s in the uplink. It also reduces latency and provides up to five times more system capacity in the downlink and up to twice as much system capacity in the uplink, reducing the production cost per bit compared to original WCDMA protocols. HSPA increases peak data rates and capacity in several ways:

Shared-channel transmission, which results in efficient use of available code and power resources in WCDMA

A shorter Transmission Time Interval (TTI), which reduces round-trip time and improves the tracking of fast channel variations

Link adaptation, which maximizes channel usage and enables the base station to operate at close to maximum cell power

Fast scheduling, which prioritizes users with the most favorable channel conditions

Fast retransmission and soft-combining, which further increase capacity

16QAM and 64QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), which yields higher bit-rates

MIMO, which exploits antenna diversity to provide further capacity benefits.

By July 2010, HSPA had been commercially deployed by over 200 operators in more than 80 countries.

Many HSPA rollouts can be achieved by a software upgrade to existing 3G networks, giving HSPA a headstart over WiMax, which requires a dedicated network infrastructure. A rich variety of HSPA enabled devices - more than 1000 available by July 2010 - together with ease of use is leading to rising sales of HSPA-enabled mobiles and is helping to drive the adoption of HSPA

----------

so shortly said.... it has nothing to do with the simcard.. its the provider who supplies the connection... the salesman was a completely idiot as far as i know... or ive missed some technology ;)
[HTC Incredible S] nixguy:
thanks Hawkysoft

i thought it he meant gsm but when he kept on insisting i thought i might be wrong..

thanks again
[HTC Incredible S] cmstlist:
The salesman was correct but just not good at explaining. The Incredible S has a GSM and HSPA radio. Bell/Virgin does not have any GSM network at all, only UMTS/HSPA. The SIM card is the same technology as with a provider whose network includes GSM. But the Virgin SIM card will never connect you to a GSM/2G network, always 3G. Except when you're roaming.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
@cmstlist, you are really confusing people

the simcard is a simcard... it can not be different... its controlled from distance

now i will teach u something

a provider can reprogram your phone by your simcard from distance, turn off your device etc.etc.etc. i know it sounds unbelievable but trust me its the truth.

so shortly said

you put your simcard in the phone,

it will recieve config details from your provider which allowes 2g/3g/4g/ etc.etc.

so basicly its just the provider not the simcard since thats not relevant in this subject.
[HTC Incredible S] cmstlist:
I don't see why my response would have been confusing. The OP's question was essentially: Why did the salesman say that the Incredible S is not GSM?

The answer is, because Virgin Mobile Canada does not have a GSM network. If you take a Virgin Canada SIM and pop it into any phone within a native coverage area, I can guarantee 100% the network you connect to, if it connects at all, will not be GSM. If the phone you try and use it in has GSM but not HSPA, it will get No Service.

Does that make it different from any other SIM? No. But I think the salesman was just trying to get across the point that Virgin does not have a GSM network, so it would be incorrect to refer to GSM when talking about their phones and SIM cards.
[HTC Incredible S] Hawkysoft:
-cutted out- delete this plz
[HTC Incredible S] nixguy:
now that's a lot better explanation then what he gave me

i just wanted to know if it would work on windmobile
[HTC Incredible S] cmstlist:
Ahh - well *that* is a completely separate question. Answer is no.

Bell/Virgin is a 3G-only network, and they use the 850/1900 frequency bands.

WIND is also a 3G-only network and they use the AWS frequency band.

The Euro/Asia Incredible S has the bands 900/AWS/2100 and would work on Wind.

The Bell/Virgin Incredible S has the bands 850/1900(/2100 I think?) and won't work on WIND.

I have a friend who owns a nokia n900 and he boasts about how the phone has qwerty keypad and its fast 3g speed limit. He also claims that it is the best of its kind.

I was really frustrated with his statements and told him that my phone(the vibrant) was 10x better than his and now he takes potshots at me and my phone whenever I cross his path. But still claims his phone is better than mine.

Anyone here thinks my friend holds water in this case??

You should not be worried about this at all. He knows it bothers you and that's why he does it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-7abash:
Just ask him about that 600Mhz CPU he's got, then tell him how your poor Vibrant got double that.

Truth to be said though, N900 is probably the best phone out there these days from Nokia and to recall how it was what released in 2008-7 speaks loads about this ****ty manufacturer.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemmyslender:
I have both a vibrant and a n900. Better is subjective, it's different, and has different use cases.

For instance:

On my N900, I enter scores for 20 different golfers (9 holes) into a spreadsheet to figure out who won the skins for our golf league. Try doing that without a hw keyboard without going nuts.

On the other hand, the n900 doesn't have a golf gps /golf scorecard, so it's pretty useless on the course.

The n900 is a very different animal from the vibrant, not better or worse, different.

Just ignore him, if he doesn't understand they're different, you won't change his mind.

*edit* of course the biggest difference for me is the n900 gets $10 web2go package at full 3g speeds. Saves me $15 per month, no problem setting up wifi to share either.

Hello guys.

I'm having a problem with the XDA dev app. I have the official (free) version of it.

I got the app with the custom ROM I recently installed, but the problem is when I'm going to read threads in subforums, the application crashes.

That happens with any threads I'm trying to go to a thread.

So I saw a update for the app, but when I press "Update" in market and after a couple of seconds the installation fails. I says: "Package is not signed correctly" or something like that.

So I don't know what to do now :confused:

I want to read XDA Forum threads on my X10!

Please help me with this annoying problem.

So now I have patched and everything works now, I can install the app without any problems! :)

Thank you guys for all the help, ;)

Where is my apps I download from Android Market? I have looked in the /system/app and /Data/App, nothing there.

So where can the apk files be? :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] realunited123:
System/app contains all the system apps.

Data/app contains all the apps that you have downloaded or installed.

You need something with right permission to see it. Astro or any other withouth root permission won't work. Try Root Explorer its worth rue money.

[Galaxy Tab General] curlydingle:
Thanks to all the contributors of this forum.

I am just trying to get the phone function on my Tab. I have rooted the Tab using Z4root that went without any problems and took about a min. Downloaded RomManager and installed CWM to the Tab. Checked to see if my bootloader is signed with the APK. It says no problem to install Custom Roms and is Unsigned Boot. Tried to back up current Rom with RomManager and it boots into Andriod 3e Recovery.....Verification failed. Tried installing the install.zip... Failed again. How do I get past the Verification failed on this Andriod 3e Recovery. My Samsung Vibrant had Andriod 2e recovery that didn't need signed images.

Any Help would be appreciated...:)
