I use it all the time.

I have a few spots on my commute that 4g drops for a sec and if I don't have it on lte only my tethering will stay on 3G until I turn off data and turn it back on.

So when I leave it on lte only it might cut out for a sec but comes back on.
[Thunderbolt General] andydumi:
I only use LTE in Nashville as well. No issues.
[Thunderbolt General] shelooga:
I haven't lost service since I went LTE only a few hours ago n I've been playing on it ever since. Pretty good. Maybe the device takes on 3g if that signal is stronger? Every other time I use it In my house I notice it flipping between them. ill have to really take a few days n see if it makes a difference w battery

LTE only in Seattle area, no problems.

I use an app called Network by mangelow to manage the radio.
[Thunderbolt General] TBJared:
I've experienced the same problem, it hardly ever drops to 3g, always straight to 1x. I also live in a extended service zone and usually only get 1 or 2 bars of 4g at home. One thing I noticed is that if I have my whole hand gripped tightly on the phone, I will lose 4g. Kind of annoying at times. Hope it is just an automatic switching software problem and they can update it to seamless 4g/3g switching with no 1x!

LTE only user here. i get full 4G in dc. last week i went through atlanta to houston and never missed a beat. (all are 4G cities). my evo cant keep a wimax signal to save its life. i also have wimax coverage at home, but ts like 3 bars max inside my house and the speeds arent even close to LTE.
[Thunderbolt General] Phyrephx:
I use LTE only in Phoenix, spotty coverage on the east side of the valley. Some times it will read 4G with one bar and I can see it trying to send my request and for looooong minutes nothing on the download side. I use Phone Info by SC@Taiwan, I will open the app run a ping test and get nothing back, 10 minutes later all is fine, can be frustrating at times.
[Thunderbolt General] NeutronBomb:
Andrews AFB here. I use LTE only at work because if I keep it oj auto in my office it will constantly switch between 4g and 3g and rape my battery. If I use LTE only I get a solid 2-3 bars and only occasionaly will I drop down to 1x.
[Thunderbolt General] droidgrfx:

Cleveland / Euclid Ohio

I am between Euclid and Cleveland all day, LTE only works excellent! Note that east of 91 in Lake county is 3G only, so I must switch to normal mode out there.
[Thunderbolt General] ZuneNinja!:
Oh really? Look at all the comments! Not to pick on you but please don't post stuff as if it is a matter of fact for everyone, anywhere using the Tbolt.

I live in the Minneapolis area and my Tbolt was switching in and out of 4G quite frequently throughout the day. Now that I've forced LTE, it stays and I have the same battery life as before.
[Thunderbolt General] jrm390:
Same for me.

I live in a 4g area and work in the "extended" 4g area outside of Baltimore. If I don't put it in LTE mode, it tries to go between 1x/3g/4g the entire day (mostly 3g). Since I put it in LTE mode it's 4g all the time and better battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] DRGilroy:
There's an app in the Market called LTE OnOff. It's a lot simpler than using the dialer.

[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
LTE Mode while I'm at work here in Detroit, and it works excellently for me.

He's right, though. If your phone is set to "LTE Mode," then your phone WILL skip over 3G if it loses 4G and drop directly to 1x.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I also use the "Phone Info" app (free) in the market, select phone info and then scroll down to "set preferred network type"

[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
LTE only in Detroit.

Once in a while if I update a Kernal or ROM, it'll go into 1X or no connection.

I go into the BAMF took kit or LTE on/off app and tell it to go 3G, wait...then LTE only.

Quirky....but it works every time.
[Thunderbolt General] Cubs2008:
LTE Only in Allentown, PA (Lehigh Valley.) I have 4G at home and at work but if I know I'm driving to an area that's not 4G I'll switch it over to Auto and it usually doesn't have an issue with the handoff.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincanada84:
So today I noticed something very odd about my music. It seems that on both the stock music player and on PowerAMP when an album has more than 1 disc, it doesnt recognize that there's more than one disc. I've got all my music tagged correctly in iTunes...but when I import it to my phone, I get track listings that go 1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3, etc etc etc(an example of an album that has 3 discs). Anyone know why this is? Or how to fix it without having to go and redo ALL of my music in iTunes so it doesnt do albums with multiple discs as such.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scorneil:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincanada84:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanhatescoffee:
I haven't noticed this but I always tag my multi-disc albums by adding "Disc 1", "Disc 2", etc after the album name.

Not sure if this would make a difference but try Winamp and some other music players. Maybe another music player will resolve the issue without requiring manual renaming of the album tags.

[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
Coming over from a Captivate, it was recommended to do a "master clear" before installing roms to prevent any problems from occuring when switching from one ROM to the next. Is this recommended as well for the Inspire, and if so, which methods are preferred?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rtbluver:
Yes you should do a full wipe and backup with titanium. Flash the easy full wipe (search the forum) in cwm then do the flash of Roms then install such and such.

Hi folks,

As you can tell from the title I'm a smartphone noob and didn't realise you couldn't do this (see the amount of people I've spoke to who didn't even notice you can't delete apps that come with the phone! What's with that?).

But as you can see I emphasised the 'why', 'cause I've searched everywhere but can't find a reason as to why. I'd assume it was just so you can't delete bloatware, but even the Nexus that runs on stock Android has the same issue.

Does anyone know why (or guess why) you can't delete preinstalled apps?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] MikeCriggs:
If your device is rooted, all you have to do is download Root Explorer from the market and delete the APK files from the system.

They're located in: /system/app/

You have to press "Mount R/W" on the top right of the application before you can read and write. Make sure hit "Mount R/O" in the same spot after you're done editing though. Also, make sure that what you're deleting isn't something you need and you should probably back-up the .APK files to be safe. If you mess up and don't back up, you can still just re-flash or re-download GAPPS without a problem. Have fun :).
[General Questions and Answers] Korstovor:
Thanks :)

I was thinking about rooting my phone actually, I'll check that out (I'm sooooo going to back up everything lol).

But! The question was WHY you can't delete the preinstalled apps. Does anyone know the reasoning behind it?
[General Questions and Answers] MikeCriggs:
You're welcome mate :).

Just for safety I suppose. And you should definitely root your phone, it'll open a whole new world for you!
[General Questions and Answers] tmpchr:

[General Questions and Answers] smashingembryos:
I am also unhappy that i cannot uninstall apps that came with the phone and i have yet to find a good reason as to why not. most of the apps i want to delete are free on the market, already compatible with my phone and can be deleted or uninstalled without causing any major issues.

tmpchr says "manufacturer /operator agreements..."

ok ill buy that, sounds like a good business opportunity, (i would do it) good advertising, shared/reduced costs...etc. but the end user should still have the option to remove.
[General Questions and Answers] bagongs:
I totally agree with you guys, at the very beginning I had so big apps installed on my device (motorola xt720), for instance MotoNav was about 1.5 GB and spoiled my battery life. Luckily I discovered how to root the device and now, using "root uninstaller" that you find in the market, all of them are just a memory :cool:

Can you tell me how to install it ? I think I tried the same apk before (found here). But couldn't figure out how to install.

Clicking on the music player icon still loads the old music player, and there are no new music player icons. Then I replaced the default music player apk with this one (like I did with the previously leaked honeycomb/gingerbread music app) but then its force closes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] nickelghandi:
Okay so this may be a useless post and it is my first one so don't beat me up too badly. I have been searching all over the place to find a Froyo build with HTC Sense. It seems as though development has been halted because apparently Sense is too large for the Rhodium CPU and the screen resolution is too high. How can this be true when the Rhodium runs Sense in Windows Mobile 6.5? I want to see a Froyo build that has HTC Sense and camera support. Can or has this been done? Would someone be willing to do it if enough people were willing to donate? I just want my Rhodium to work the way I know it can. I know there is a 2.1 build with Sense but there is no camera and there are many bugs with it and is not useful to me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If anyone finds any Froyo with sense builds for phones that are NOT the HD or HD2, please post a link to them in this forum.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Sense on WinMo != Sense on Android

So don't confuse them. Why do you want sense? It's just a big piece of bloat, and most of the things you can find in other places (IE Fancy Widget).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] Entropy512:
Sense in Winmo is native code, Sense in Android is Java. Unfortunately, the gains in terms of development ease gained with Java are offset by the inefficiencies of Java on lower-end hardware.

Also, the problem with Sense is that it needs to be ripped from a Sense-enabled HTC native Android device, and in many cases, the binary has enough customization that it does Bad Things on our devices.

As I understand it, the only Sense-enabled build seen on our devices so far was 2.1, and had, as you mention, resolution issues.

Also keep in mind that the Windows Mobile stock UI was very dated, so Sense was a major upgrade for it. My experience with Sense-enabled Android devices is that it offers very little and just slows the device down. Actually, this seems true for all manufacturer-provided alternate interfaces (like the crappiness of MOTOBLUR...)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
Just to back this up, I used one of Tiad's Froyo Sense builds for a bout 2 minutes. It it not worth it. Definitely, not worth it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wavesshock:
Where did you get Froyo Build from Tiad including Sense? AFAIK he just released Eclaire builds containing the UI...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] ryannathans:
He claimed they were Froyo, I only looked at it literally for a minute and never noted what it actually was. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Eclaire.

Anyway, when I get this bloody repo sync command to go through without errors I will start making my own builds ;) I guarantee, they will be better than Tiad, and I don't exactly plan on including any warez :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] wavesshock:
Are you going to make sense-builds or do you plan to develop on stock android ports?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] nickelghandi:
Thank you. This makes some sense of it (no pun intended). I know there are other widgets that use less resources and look better than sense but I like the look and feel of it. I am probably going to be upgrading to an Evo 4g or Evo 3g so I'll have my sense soon anyway but I was able to get some use from the 2.1 sense build once I used a new kernel and used the "clean slate" scene setting. The only thing missing was the camera. I can get by with some sluggishness as I have been using Windows Mobile for a long time but I cannot get by without that camera support seen in the newer 2.2 builds. Also, the Hero has the same CPU speed as the Rhodium. I am not sure if this makes much difference but the phones are very similar in both screen size and processor speed. As well as the Evo Shift as far as screen. I am still new to all this though and those subtle similarities may really be nothing. I'll keep searching and post if I find anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] nickelghandi:

Hi,

Is there any way to install some of the Sense applications (Music, Video, Image player) on a HTC Touch Pro2 with the CBX0 Android ROM?. I have a Hero device with almost the same hardware and the Sense applications runs well and I´m use with these applications.

Regards,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
If you can find the APK's, maybe.

But Sense is a proprietary thing. So it's not 'open' - not easily ported/moved to other devices. All XDAndroid builds are AOSP - straight from Google. All open source.

Good luck. If you want, there's a 2.1 Eclair Sense build - but it hasn't been updated since 2010.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] clarf:
Thanks for reply,

Well many functions on my HTC phone have issues with old kernel versions, I don´t think I could use Eclair Sense if it´s not maintained/updated.
