[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Personally I am sticking with the stock (rooted) ROM until CM7 goes stable (and is proven as actually stable)

For me stability and

all

features working is paramount, that philosophy drives me to wipe every time I update, since getting everything back the way it was after I wipe is a PITA I will only update if I know that the new build will work for me for several months at a minimum.

As I understand it RC4 is almost there (there still seem to be some lingering GPS and other issues) but since the final release is likely imminent I don't want to wipe & install RC4 only to wipe again in a few weeks to install the final release.

If you don't feel the need to wipe between updates (which IMO produces instability) or you don't need 100% reliability in general I'd say go for RC4.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freakytah:
Dude, all roms i use r stable 98% of time. Don't stick with stock cuz u hear bad stuff. Reputable roms are daily drivers. Any problems pop up i just reboot and usually they go away. You're missing out bigtime yo
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nova hands:
I don't mind a few hiccups in exchange for customization.

I'm running HyperDroid GBX on my HD2 right now, and it's awesome. Really fast, stable, and generally fine for a daily driver.

Wouldn't mind something similar on the G2. Sounds like the CM7 nightly might be the one.

Although knowing me, I'd probably try a few anyway.

I like a clean look, which is why I like HyperDroid so much:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nova hands:
The G2 I'm getting is untouched. It's on stock ROM, no root, etc.

I've read on some threads that rooting has a high risk of bricking the phone. Is this true?

I have only done work on the HD2 so far. Plenty of experience with that, but I never really ran the risk of bricking as long as I had the right radio/ROM combo.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkKnight62:
i just bought a nexus s and when i turned it on i wasn't prompted to the android screen that tells me to touch the screen to sign into my gmail account so i got a little paranoid. the screen protector is still on the front and back, the battery was sealed and the charger was wrapped like it was new so i'm not sure if it was used and sold as new. anyone know what bestbuy does if they get a returned cell phone?

i did a factory reset and then upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 and then 2.3.3 manually. my IMEI was assigned to my phone number so i'm not worried about that but i'm paranoid thinking someone could have installed something on the phone to steal information and then returned it since it seemed someone used the phone. it's in new condition and there is nothing wrong with it (so far) so i don't want to have to deal with returning it and then getting a bad phone that i have to exchange again. i know it's an irrational paranoia but could anyone give me peace of mind and let me know if it's possible?

also, i'm assuming something WOULD have been able to be installed if it was rooted and i'm pretty sure my phone wasn't rooted.

Huh? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
did you buy the phone in a store like best buy? or 2nd hand from another owner?

either way you can go into settings > privacy > then wipe data factory default
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkKnight62:
i bought the phone at best buy. i did a factory reset and i used the stock 2.3.3 update so i took care of those things.

ignore the IMEI statement. i was wondering how someone WOULDN'T be able to report that IMEI number stolen but since it's assigned to my phone number i'm sure it would be impossible to do. remember, i'm being irrational since i just bought the phone for over $500 so i want to make sure i'm secure.

i guess if updating to 2.3.3 removes root access then everything should be secure. anything that could have been installed on the phone if it was rooted when it was running 2.3.1 has since been removed right?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrivelfig:
IMEI numbers are not assigned to phone numbers. Well, possibly in the US, but not in the rest of the world.

If I knew your IMEI number, I could possibly report it stolen. And then you would have to report it "unstolen", probably by documenting that you own the phone and have obtained it legally.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkKnight62:
well, that doesn't really bother me. on the receipt it shows my phone number and IMEI number right under it so i was assuming that they might be intertwined but that doesn't really bother me since it doesn't involve stealing information.

i basically just want to know if manually updating from 2.3.1 to 2.3.3 would allow anything to still be installed on my phone if it ever was.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
just do a factory reset and you're fine

I also saw some overly cheesy promotional use of WP7 in an episode of Hawaii Five 0 last night.

Somehow, Bing managed to autosuggest an obscure modern artist after only three letters were entered.

REASON - Alright, so I'm switching to Sprint because AT&T sucks...so I'm getting an Evo 3D. I'm not off contract so I have to pay in order to cancel it. In order to do that? I sold my Captivate. It was fun while it lasted. If anyone wants to take this and do something with it, be my guest. :)

---Some things to understand---

1. I'm new at this and I apologize beforehand.

2. Please post any suggestions/things I've screwed up.

3. If you flash this, you have released me from responsibility over what may or may not happen to your phone.

4. If you want stock, simply flash the latest update [many have stated that's the easiest and most efficient way].

That doesn't make any sense.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
IDK what's really going on here... theres more to this story and im sure it's not on Sprints side

Couldn't this have been asked in the 2 espn threads that were created if that's where you pulled that quote?

Yeah, I had to re-read it, sorry was watching Jayden James on MTV lol
[EVO 4G General] WhiteWidows:
No, Sorry I dont care about ESPN so I didn't read them threads. I read it on Android Central hence the link. I do care about Sprint wanting to charge us for individual text.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
Hey DirtyShroomz, can you kick some tires on this tomorrow and find out the scoop if any? If this is the case, I'm outta hair, like a bald man.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Huh, guess I thought texts like these were charged anyways.

Not sure why you'd need some texts though ... that sounds like some yesterday ish. Still interesting, though. Sorta.
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
The way I read this article, Sprint is charging the content providers, i.e. ESPN, MSNBC, CNN, etc. more per message sent than before. Not the individual subscribers.

You are correct. I found this post on another site by a user named Mustangboy88 so all credit to him for the info.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
There is an ESPN app....
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
See my post above yours. Seems we, the user are safe to enjoy unlimited text, Sprint and every other carrier are increasing their rates for corporations who send out bulk texts.

Yeah, figured as much. Got the Twitter feeds and RSS feeds that I'm already on top of so this would be a non issue either way. Least in this camp. I remember getting caught up in some Sprint Football thing a few years back where I started getting slammed with messages that cost per message. It was funny, and maddening, for a minute. Guess I thought this would be similar. Text 'news' notifications seem so old school, though.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
Was worth a shot, lol.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Lol have you called in?
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
Not yet, I sent a super respectful letter to Dan@sprint.com and I'll try to speak with someone there when they call me sometime this week. We've had that damn Palm Pre for a year and a half and were sitting on that upgrade from last november for the new Evo when its released this summer. We'll see what happens.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Gotcha, that should work hopefully.

[Nook Color General] colbur87:
Running the latest cm7 and latest OC kernal @ 1.1 and time after time when I disable JIT I get quadrant scores 300 points higher on average. Anyone else? What does this mean? I thought JIT would increase the speed of the device.... With JIt disabled im getting 1950's quad scores.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
I am by no means an expert on the finer points of the android system, but from what I understand JIT is used by the system for on-the-fly graphics proccesing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

What I do know is, that all becnhmarking software should be taken with a grain of salt. It's not the end all be all of how a system should be judged. Hell, when I run quadrant I can get scores that vary almost by 200, without changing a thing. 300 is not all that big a difference. I can guarentee you that having JIT on will increase the overall performence of the nook, it's what its meant to do.

I can only guess, but what it may be doing by having it off is freeing some proc. time for quadrant to use.

I am curious though, are you seeing any increase in FPS during the rendering scenes while having JIT off?
[Nook Color General] dalingrin:
Quadrant has known issues with Gingerbread and has not been updated. Quadrant's 3D scores in Gingerbread with JIT are significantly lower than with Froyo. Check various review sites like Anandtech for examples of this.
[Nook Color General] colbur87:
Ya the FPS is actually higher with JIT off....

I know that benchmarking is not an end all be all for system performance.. I just thought it was interesting and thought I would ask the people here on xda.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgstan:
Hello,

I am running a gTab with TNT Lite 4.4 and Launcher Pro. I like the setup very much (thanks to all the help found here), but am having problems trying to find an alarm clock app I can set up the way I like.

Ideally, I want an alarm that will open Pandora at a specified time. Barring that, I'd be happy with an app that started the alarm from sleep mode. I don't like leaving the display on all night, even if it's in the "dim" or "night mode". However, it seems that the minute I put the gTab to sleep, the clock stops ticking and the alarm doesn't go off until you wake up the device (the wake updates the clock to the actual time).

Am I nuts, or is there some kind of bug? Are there alarms that will wake up the tablet from sleep? So far I've tried "Alarm Clock Plus" and "AppAlarm Pro" without success.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albright:
This is a bug without doubt - what is the point of an alarm that

you have to turn on :)

YOu might try some of those keepalive programs in the market, but

my experience is that, like most android apps (and android itself

for that matter), they don't really work perfectly.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgstan:
Here's what I've come up with so far. It seems to be working, although with some caveats.

I installed "Load Monitor" and enabled what they call "Wake Lock" which, according to the FAQ, prevents the tablet from going into a deep sleep. It seems to allow the clock to keep accurate time while screen is off. It also might help people's WiFi issues. I don't know the effect on battery life, but plugging it in while it's on the nightstand isn't a problem.

I've found that Pandora needs to be closed, not paused. Sometimes it'll work when paused, but not always.

I would be happy to hear anyone else suggestions as I'm certainly disappointed in how this is working.

EDIT: Also, you need to have the volume turned up loud enough manually. If you let the app set the volume, it's never loud enough.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlaciv12:
App alarm pro is what I use on my phone. It can restart the app if you were using the night before. I use it to wake to Howard on the Sirius XM app and the developer is friendly and responsive. I haven't tried it on the gtab yet as my night stand isn't that big!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdelforge5684:
Hey folks! I'm currently an Sprint customer, but I'm considering a switch to ATT. I'll lay out a few facts so you can understand where I'm coming from. I'm not worried about cancellation fees because I can make our phones roam to VZW until sprint drops us.

-When I got cell service, none of the national carriers could compete with Sprint's prices (family plan, unlimited messaging/data, dont care about minutes). Now ATT's family plans have gotten competitive.

-Between people leaving VZW for economic reasons and people leaving T-Mo because of the ATT purchase, Sprint's network is very overburdened (at least in my area). Given the way Sprint has been flaking out on the 4G front, i'm not exactly filled with confidence that they'll expand their network capability in a timely fashion.

I'll ask folks in my squadron about local reception, but I want opinions from similarly minded people (you guys) about things like customer service and general happiness with the network. Also, what's ATT's 4G plan? As of now, all I've heard of is HSPA+, and I really dont know how it stacks up against WiMax, LTE, regular HSPA (thats 3g for GSM, right?) The store rep said that ATT will be using LTE, but I'm not sure if thats true given that Inspire and Atrix both are advertised as being 4G and use HSPA+.

Thanks in advance for any helpful feedback. For the flamers....well, u know where to stick it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
My advice is go for VZW if you want legit 4g. I haven't seen any 4g speeds on my Inspire and I live in Boston. The 4g data plan is basically 3g, and it costs teh same too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdelforge5684:
I still can't bring myself to pay VZW's prices. I know their network is the best, but its not enough of an improvement for me to pay that much more. I'm not so much concerned with current 4g capability, i'm in between 2 4g markets right now, so I think it's going to be a while before I get it. I'm more curious about the future of 4g with ATT based on the fact that the rep, who seemed otherwise knowledgeable, said that ATT would be using LTE in Q4 of this year yet they've already released two phones sporting HSPA+ as their 4g devices. Does anyone know if they're going to switch their technology to LTE?
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
So what exactly would you like to know? Ask any questions you'd like and I'll answer them.

ATT has great coverage imo. I even have service where my girlfriend (verizon) does not (in many cases).

The inspire is the best phone on att. This is coming from a lifetime iphone man, and I also tested the Atrix for a month and CAME BACK to the inspire.

Data speeds are more than adequate for me, even if it is not the 'true' 4g of verizon. I am more realistic when it comes to data. I am thankful for the ability to be connected to the internet at all times, and if I have to wait a second for a page to load - I'm not complaining. What does matter to me is the performance and speeds of the gps/maps function, which, on the inspire are great. The google maps/nav is implemented directly into the phone and definitely has the upper hand on the iphone, which I feel is att's other competitive smartphone.

Basically, I feel your decision simply comes down to dollars and sense (get it??? haha...), as well as what kind of service you are receiving in your area. Att & sprint are comparable, and both carriers have great android devices (sprint is launching evo3d too, which looks pretty cool).

Basically, how's your service going to be? I would talk to people with ATT in your area and get their opinion. Also, how much money would you save/spend if you made the switch? I'd make a decision on those two factors.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
at&t is currently releasing "4G" phones that have HSPA+ at 14.4/5.76Mbps download and upload respectively but they DO plan to run with LTE. Starting in May, they will be decommissioning their 2G network starting in the west coast and moving east, in order to free up bandwidth that they can use to launch LTE. Also, while Verizon purchased the "C" block of spectrum, at&t purchased a company that had vast amounts of what I believe was "D" spectrum on the 700 band as well and ended up paying a LOT less than what Verizon did to get their nationwide 700Mhz LTE licenses.

What I would do is go to the store, get a phone, drive EVERYWHERE that you think you may use it and watch your phone signal, run a few speed tests, check out voice quality, etc., before you make your decision.

While I am FINALLY figuring out the cause of my at&t issues at my new residence (Netgear 2.4GHz WNR2000v2 router is actually interfering with my cell signal massively), I have had issues around town and I am in Denver (the suburbs now) and should have EXCELLENT signal at all the locations I have had issues at.

T-Mobile is phenomenal if you look at their maps and make sure they have service of the utmost quality in your area - I read your post and believe you said T-Mo wasn't an option but I've had a few too many and just can't be bothered to go back and read the post again - T-Mobile has been deploying ridiculous HSPA+ speeds for some time now (on a recent speed test, my buddy got 26Mbps down and 2Mbps up on T-Mo's HSPA+ network) and I don't see them slowing down.

Verizon and Sprint are just disappointments and I think nothing more needs to be said about that.

EDIT: Sorry, at&t bought a large chunk of B-block 700MHz spectrum, not D-block.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rtbluver:
Okay. This makes me want to know if my 2g I get here will be converted to 4g by the coming time.

first thing i noticed was a stuck pixel a red one in the middle of the screen, that pissed me off,

and the second one i have seen, should i better say felt, was no vibrations, could this be a bug of the sofware that this device is using ? it's using Gingerbread 2.3.2, is this a common bug in this firmware ? or is it just my "just like new" Smartphone ?
