[EVO 4G General] nFKT:
Wimax like LTE can be deployed on lots of frequencies. The in building coverage with higher frequencies is overstated, there is a difference but with modern antennas and TMAs its pretty negligible. The reason 4g coverage sucks is because Clear built a skeleton network and ran out of money before they got a chance to start doing a phase 2 deployment.

If Sprint has committed to a firm date of 2013 for having iDEN off, expect to see a lot of fines from the FCC since the current Sprint Leapfrog (vision) project continues to be delayed.

If the T-Mo AT&T deal goes through expect Sprint to purchase Clear and MetroPCS and cricKet to merge. Sprint hasn't really touched its network in the last two years, they've been funding clearwire to essentially build their network for them.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Um no WiMax currently is NOT provisioned to be placed on anything BUT the higher freq like what its currently on now. "There is no uniform global licensed spectrum for WiMAX, however the WiMAX Forum has published three licensed spectrum profiles: 2.3 GHz, 2.5 GHz and 3.5 GHz, in an effort to drive standardisation and decrease cost." source

Btw who has ever shown that the project has been delayed???

http://newsroom.sprint.com/press_kits.cfm?presskit_id=19
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
Are you serious? read around, clear is doing lte trials for a long time now. what ever direction sprint ends up going wether it be dual lte and wimax or one or the other on diff freq's or something else it will no doubt include clearwire in that said plan.
[EVO 4G General] CrippleB:
The fastest down I have on 3g in CA bay area is around 750kb. 4g up to 7mb.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
whats the point????
[EVO 4G General] nFKT:
That article is talking about what is currently available to wimax. Wimax as a technology can be deployed on any available frequency. Using wikipedia for a souce is pretty foolish, but from your own source:

In the USA, the biggest segment available is around 2.5 GHz,[21] and is already assigned, primarily to Sprint Nextel and Clearwire. Elsewhere in the world, the most-likely bands used will be the Forum approved ones, with 2.3 GHz probably being most important in Asia. Some countries in Asia like India and Indonesia will use a mix of 2.5 GHz, 3.3 GHz and other frequencies. Pakistan's Wateen Telecom uses 3.5 GHz.

Analog TV bands (700 MHz) may become available for WiMAX usage, but await the complete roll out of digital TV, and there will be other uses suggested for that spectrum. In the USA the FCC auction for this spectrum began in January 2008 and, as a result, the biggest share of the spectrum went to Verizon Wireless and the next biggest to AT&T.[22] Both of these companies have stated their intention of supporting LTE, a technology which competes directly with WiMAX. EU commissioner Viviane Reding has suggested re-allocation of 500–800 MHz spectrum for wireless communication, including WiMAX.[23]

It probably hasn't been pubically shown to be delayed. I do however work in the industry, and the work has been assigned to vendors it just continually gets delayed. All work was given to Alcatel Lucent, Samsung and Ericsson. You can probably find articles about that online.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
That article/press release stated who the work was given to and explained sprints network upgrades going on. Not the "source" link but the 2nd one in my post that was to sprints PR. And as you showed there VZ bought up most of the 700MHz spectrum in the auction, not sprint. sprint has 806 MHz to 824 MHz and 851 MHz to 869 MHz bands, meaning there is 18 MHz in total available for use there.
[EVO 4G General] nFKT:
Which is still short of what is needed IIRC from the Ericsson stuff I've read if they want to to see 300+mbit on LTE.

Apparently, I didn't read that PR link you put in doh. I just know from friends who's doing what. The thing to consider is that the only one of those vendors that is capable of doing their own civil work is Ericsson, the other two will have to sub-contract everything out, lets just say they've yet to do that.

If you've got a good source of data on the available frequencies, I'd like to see it I thought Nextel lost some of the above frequencies in the smr reband.
[EVO 4G General] sgt. slaughter:
http://www.accedian.com/blog/news/sprint-vacated-iden-spectrum/

yeah and to be honest with the whole rebrand thing I get a little confused at times with who owns what now but I am pretty sure whats stated in that article is up to date as of now though.
[EVO 4G General] DCBC:
The Houston coverage is awful. What's odd is that I live in Tyler and can get 1 bar of 4G with speeds of about 4.5 mb down very reliably in all but one part of town. Tyler isn't even on Sprint's 4G map yet.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
I can tap 8 and 9mbps on a good day here in Columbus. We get a pretty decent coverage but data speeds downtown (like the real downtown not the 50 sq miles of the center of the city) are so terrible with both 4g and 3g that I usually just end up not using it.

Go to a Blue Jackets game and try to update your FourSquare. Freaking impossible. However, in the suburbs the 4g here is pretty good. I'd be sad if they cut that for good.

This just started happening this morning, wondering if anyone else is having the issue. Facebook application keeps asking for the password, it will connect and then if I close/reopen it it will do the same thing.

I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the application. Cleared out the cache, still prompting for the password. Rebooted phone and then tried a battery pull, stiill asking me to log in.

There’s this guy at work and nearly every time he e-mails me, he CC’s my supervisor.

It’s really annoying because that leads to my supervisor getting involved in things that really are none of his concern.

My supervisor is already a micromanager and very reactionary (always assumes that if he's being asked about something that someone's not doing their job)

Also the guy who's doing this is one of those people who loves to get involved in other people's projects and pretend to be a part of them, so that leads to people going to him for status updates instead of me.

Any advice on getting him to stop in a diplomatic way without it pissing them off or putting him in a position to want to "step it up" and get back at me?
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Send him an e-mail that'll be very embarassing to CC all over the place.

Actually, these kind of people are quite dangerous, because they like to keep their backs covered. So be careful.

One thing I'd like to find out is, ultimately, what is the gripe? Is the CC annoying you, or the CC annoying your boss and then your boss annoys you? Finding out the root cause of a problem instead of treating the symptoms will be way better.

Seriously, the dude's a loser and a trouble maker (as has been said up-thread). My advice would be to either completely cut him out of the process (death by starvation) or go further up the chain of command with materials and documentation and complain (death from above). Remember, there comes a point where the job isn't worth the hassle and frustration.
[Off-topic] wovens:
I had similar problem.

My boss is female. My colleague is male and trying to make his mark. I have one day every week when I work from a different office. He waits till I'm not around to ***** about me with her. I am more senior and better at the job. Even though she trusts me implicitly, it still annoys me that the guy is behaving like a little prick. He asks to have days off in the most busy times and only asks her when I'm not around; as if I would say no! I can cope with the work on my own and nobody asks him for anything if I'm around.

When he's done the *****ing thing 3 times I've blown my top with the two of them, collected some reports on all the works I've done and threatened to leave. They would/could not get anyone cheaper and with the same level of knowledge and control. The emails stopped and now, as long as he does not mess the work too much, I cannot care less what he does. I do my work and **** a snoot at the rest.

Cheers!

He is probably a sociopath. These people are all around us. They're completely functional and often successful. They're not psychopaths, they won't start killing people. But they have no regard for the feelings and troubles of others. They will lie, cheat, manipulate their way to the top by any means necessary. Thats who you're probably dealing with. (There was this GREAT article by a big name psychiatrist on workspace sociopaths on reddit a while back but I can't find it, sorry)

Now, I've learned through experience that these people exploit the **** out of "diplomacy". They take advantage of the fact that you don't want to make a big thing out of this, they KNOW you wan't to keep a low profile and they exploit that weakness to bully you. Dealing with bullies is easy. Just walk up to him and tell him to stop. Flat out, plain and simple stop. Let him know crystal clear that you know what he's doing and you want him to stop. No diplomacy.

You could also fight fire with fire.

This will have repercussions ofcourse. It might mean going into a stupid office politics "war" with the guy. So think about it and choose whats right for your particular situation. But keep in mind that these abuses tend to increase and it will get to a point that it will make your worklife miserable. Its best to deal with it early and make the ****er know that it will cost him to **** with you and he better go find someone else.

OR I could be wrong and the guy is just advocating for transparency in the company (Doubt it. He only CCs your boss, not others.)

I know these types of people all too well. Having dealt with some myself. these people are not top be trusted, they can't wait to pull the rug right under your feet. They want to get ahead by making you look bad. My advice to you is to speak with him directly and ask him why he is doing it and tell him it makes you feel uncomfortable. As he can't be trusted he may have moved to bcc your boss instead, so you should voiced your concern with your boss as well. You must cover your ass at all times with this guy. So document anything important concerning him and always answer his emails as if your boss may be in bcc and don't take any **** attempt from him to make you look bad especially via email and answer him to set the record straight, r this is party of documenting.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have been reading comparison reviews on other tablets and one observation concerning the Xoom that disturbed me was that it is only chargeable by way of an AC adapter. A computer USB port just won't do it. Which rather defeats some of the portability benefits of a tablet.

What about the Transformer in this regard. Can you charge it from your PC?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HideYoKids:
Not a single score about 8.5 was given, but it still gets a 9? :P just messin' with you. Thanks for your review and thoughts!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Putzy:
Thanks for the opinions. I agree with all of them apart from the comments about the software/Honeycomb. To me, it feels quite buggy in a few places, and even a little bit unfinished. As you say though, it is a brand new OS, and I'm certain it'll get fixed over time. :)

No - The Transformer also requires an AC adaptor to correctly charge fully. All last night, my Transformer was plugged into my iMac - it only increased 12% in about 9 hours... it does charge, but it is not going to keep you moving much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
It only charges when its on sleep mode or when the tablet is turned off while plugged into the computer via USB.

but when it's on awake mode lol well it stops charging...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
Hi

well I just reviewed it as a new OS and while its buggy at times it still gives me a pleasent usage and solid all rounf experience. All this will be iron out later date and by then well it be getting a near perfect score :D

You sure about the charge? try turning the creen off or the tablet itself and see if it fully charges
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
haha maybe a overall score of 8.7 would be a little bit better
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Putzy:
Yeah. It did charge, but really slowly. Everytime I turned the screen on to look, it didn't even indicate it was charging.

To confirm, the screen was off, but the tablet was on. I'm going to try it with the tablet off tonight completely though, se we'll see what happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
Ok it should fully charge
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rebski:
Thanks for all the input on computer USB charging. It will be interesting to see the definitive observation.

My usual mode of charging my USB compatible devices is with this AC/USB charger

http://usb.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00844

So if the Transformer is charged by a computer USB port then this adapter is bound to work.

I am looking to save on carrying around an AC wall brick.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
Yes it does charge when plugged into USB on laptop, but only if the screen is off; which of course makes perfect sense as why would you sit at your laptop/pc and be using your asus :confused:

This means you can charge your asus while your transfering files onto it, which is what i did for hours yesterday afternoon :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Putzy:
Strange.. my iMac overnight couldn't even charge it correctly. Definately going to need to try this again.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Can anyone confirm this is stock Honeycomb (ie no Asus "Sense" or "Motoblur")? I think I read somewhere that it was Asus-customized, but maybe it was Acer for the Iconia, I'm not sure. I know they put on an "Asus" keyboard instead of hcomb's stock one, but if that's about it, it's no big deal.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
It was confirmed several times: it's stock apart from several icons and some apps (launcher, widget with time and weather) that you can uninstall any time.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
well its stock honeycomb to me, unless its the asus "sense" but without the heavy layout of their brand overlay.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Are you saying you're getting 7-8 hours total, i.e., down to 0% remaining? That seems a little light to me--I'm getting 10 hours+ out of the Xoom with the same basic usage.

Could you be a little more specific with battery life? Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rebski:
Sorry but I don't understand your logic here. If you refer to this user experience

"Charging cable is ridiculously short and proprietary so you can't replace it! This is my major gripe. When I plug the device in at night to charge on my nightstand I can't use the device in bed - in fact I had to rearrange the stand just to get it long enough to actually let me put the device on top."

If the tablet is either chargeable or at least usable via a USB port then that short cable scenario could be avoided by use of a (in my case) 6000mAH external Power Charger.

Sitting in bed with a tablet which is connected to a 3.5" x 3.5" x 1" box is no great hardship under those depleted battery circumstances.

Of course if the tablet is not chargable by USB then considerrable inconvenience sets in. As you can read above.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
Regarding battery life: in can depend on the WiFi signal strange. Also if you turn off the WiFi when you don't use it it should really help.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
well i have wifi on,music playing in the background,playing games like pocket legend, web browsing. backlight on full.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
And that burns you down to 0% left? Hmmm... Backlight on full is a difference, I typically let my Xoom pick the brightness and it's usually at around 50-60%. I doubt that I'd use the Asus at 100% brightness, since it's brighter than the Xoom's screen (or should be) and the Xoom is too bright for me at 100% except for the absolutely brightest environments.

Can't wait to get a Transformer to compare...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boiboi_67:
umm ok, and I forgot to add I have live widgets which updates itself every hour...they might make a difference :)

but thats the run time I get with my Asus tablet.

Well to me this tablet is by far the 1 of the best one out there for now until something new comes out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wynand32:
Really, since the batteries and specs are virtually identical between the Xoom and the Transformer, battery life should really be similar. The screen would be the one big difference between them, and I'd happily trade less battery life for a better screen, particularly given the keyboard dock.

Now, if Asus would just ship the darn thing in the US...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donlegacyx:
can you load apps from your SD card? Or is it more just for storage for music at this point? I ask only because i hear the SD usability was a hack-job by asus since honeycomb didn't natively enable it yet (IE: on the xoom).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Magnesus:
It's a theory without confirmation.

http://forums.bit-tech.net/showpost.php?p=2648948&postcount=136 - here an Asus representative says that: "The problem is the final Google code came in, it got installed, it went out the door (first couple of batches at least). " - which suggest that they didn't do much with HC.

When I loaded CM7 Nightly, RC2, RC3, and now CM7.0, some of my contacts dont show up. When I manually type in the phone # then it shows there name and pic but its not in the contacts.

This doesnt happen on any other rom. When I go back to the Desire HD rom all the contacts are there.

This isnt facebook contacts, just regular Gmail contacts. It doesnt make a difference whether I select "show contacts with phone #s" or not. Either way a few contacts just kinda disappear.

Anyone else having this issue? I imagine a some people probally just dont notice a few contacts gone

Thanks in advance

i see the same problem. so then i logged into the gmail website, went to contacts, and turns out google completely altered the way contacts are set up. previously it was "my contacts" was what you used and got synced with your phone. now its just one huge list of everything, so certain contacts may or may not show up in the list. i'm pissed cause now i have to redo all my contacts again.
