[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
The 800MHz frequencies will probably see CDMA on them within the next year. There is more than enough unused resources to allocate 5MHz of the 15MHz sprint has in the 800MHz area to use CDMA. Most areas as it is only use 5MHz worth of sprints 1900MHz spectrum. Since just about every sprint phone as it is roam verizons 800MHz, it's nothing more than sending out a new PRL to take advantage of this. I expect that once IDEN is gone, sprint will use 10MHz in the 800MHz to utilize LTE as well as their 2.5GHz. I'm willing to bet that Sprint will eventually switch to LTE entirely across all of their frequencies. LTE has very low latency and Sprint will continue to cater to business who rely on the sub-second speed of their current IDEN radio use.

LTE can utilize multiple frequencies simultaneously, which means that we, the end user, will benefit greatly. It will be no problem for someone to use a 10MHz block of 800MHz and 10MHz block of 1900MHz simultaneously. There are some very cool things coming in the next few years, and I'm glad sprint is getting on board early.

The benefit of lower frequencies is their ability for penetration, while the benefit of 2.5GHz is the fact that sprint has access to around 170MHz of total bandwidth. The network will be a combination of super high speeds for stationary home solutions while having excellent mobile coverage everywhere. Very cool things are coming.....I can't wait.

Lol....never....
[Epic 4G General] Paleryder:
Good Old Nextel was the Shiznit in its day now a 2G Dino , never will it see anything but scrapyard and like earlier posts suggest reuse its BW
[Epic 4G General] NoSoMo:
Never what? Sprint already said that 800 will be CDMA, and the new PTT CDMA devices drop in a few months. Hell, all their current IDEN users could use but 5MHz and still be covered.

It's inevitable that LTE will be the only choice in the future. CDMA, like IDEN, will eventually be a thing of the past. Cellular networks are gaining customers, but we're not gaining frequencies. As more people use the same frequencies, the switch to more efficient means of handling them must happen. Everything will eventually be IPv6 data only. The current GSM and CDMA will be replaced by newer protocols. Call quality will continue to increase as well. Hell, a lot of my calls are already QIK video chats.

sucks, i dont want people to be seeing me when i make those calls lol. weird:cool:

I bought a D2G at eBay. I love it but I live in Hungary and I can't unlock it. Can anybody unlock it for me in USA by VZW Support if I pay every cost of unlocking (and plus money for helping)? It has clean ESN. I can send it to USA if it's required.

Please somebody help me!
[Droid 2 Global General] xploited:
You can buy a TurboSim off ebay item #200539432676 and it should work.
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewKER:
TurboSIM

Thank you for your advice, but I read it has few problems with D2G, so I want to unlock it by VZW.
[Droid 2 Global General] haroldz123:
send it back to d seller to unlock it
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewKER:
I tried it

I asked the seller about that but she refused it.
[Droid 2 Global General] audiomixman:
The device has to be active on a Verizon account that's in good standing. And the line it's unlocked on won't be able to unlock another phone for 10 monhts. I don't think you'll get too many takers on your request. TurboSim is probably your best bet?
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewKER:
Unfortunately

Unfortunately, the situation is bad. But I really pay extra cost for unlocking so if someone can help me to take extra cash, please send PM me.

I think I will order a TurboSIM, it's very cheap so I can try it.

Anyway, I got from UnlockCarrier.com 3 codes. 2 codes of them are 8-digit and they're absolutely wrong. The third one is 10-digit and the phone is thinking so much if I type it, but then the phone refuses it. Has someone got experience about 10-digit code?
[Droid 2 Global General] audiomixman:
The code should be 8 digits.
[Droid 2 Global General] haroldz123:
did her posting indicated the phone is unlock n can be use world wide?

or it is locked phone?

ask her to call on ur behalf to get the unlock code, provide her with d IMEI n IMEID
[Droid 2 Global General] wirelessprofessional:
I can help, pm me..
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewKER:
Thanks guys

haroldz123: I ask her but she refused it again but she said she can refund my money if I send back the phone.

wirelessprofessional: I sent a PM!
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewKER:
"A hope? A chance!"

Hi everybody,

wirelessprofessional can't help me but he tried it (Thanks for it).

But the seller wrote a message to me on eBay if I want to send back the phone she refund my money. I was thinking so much on this offer, and I want to accept it but she wrote another message. In message she wrote that she may can help because she started to work part-time at VZW.
[Droid 2 Global General] ben7337:
Can someone tell me, would it work if a verizon smartphone user got the esn for the phone, activated it on their line online for matthewKER while he still has the phone, then call verizon from some land line or still active phone and ask them to unlock the phone for a valid reason, then get the code, give it to matthewKER, he unlocks it, then reconnect your own smartphone back to your verizon line? I assume he wouldn't get service or be able to call or anything given that the phone is in hungary, though if it can that's the only risk I see in doing this.
[Droid 2 Global General] matthewKER:
Very interesting...

This situation is very, very interesting... After I sent a video to wirelessprofessional about my bad codes to refund his and my money (because he got same wrong codes), he sent an e-mail. He wrote in the e-mail that he activated my phone on his account and he got an unlock code from VZW. And there is surprise: this code doesn't work, too. :confused:

But it isn't end of the story... The seller is also trying to take an unlock code from VZW (she said she works part-time at VZW now) and she wrote me different things than wirelessprofessional. She wrote that she need the pre-installed SIM-card number to unlock method, and today she wrote that the assistant at VZW Global Support wanted to do this method step-by-step with her, but the phone is in Hungary so she ask the assistant how does she do it at home, but assistant said her that call him again if she can use the phone while she speaking on the other phone.

My advice if you want to buy D2G outside USA: DON'T TRY TO BUY LOCKED D2G. To buy an unlocked one with bad ESN is better choice than buy a locked one with clean ESN...

ben7337: Thanks for your post, I hope someone can unlock my phone finally.
[Droid 2 Global General] santiss:
same problem, who can help pm please
[Droid 2 Global General] War-Rasta:
Santiss, I had a similar problem and ended up selling the phone and buying and unlocked one. I een got the unlock code straight fro ma Verizon Wireless representative and it still didn't work. I initially thought it was because I had to be within reach of the Verizon network in order for the code to work but that was not the case; the code simply didn't work.

My advice? Just get rid of the phone (sell it, return it...) and get one that's already unlocked. The unlock codes are apparently a matter of luck and not a safe bet.
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
I have unlocked two D2Gs myself online. I know of 3 others that were unlocked using the same site. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SITE! I just have used them myself for several different phone models and they always work perfectly.

One of my D2Gs is a very recent new model, the other one was an early phone, both unlocked fine.

I strongly suggest that people try this site before giving up.

mobileunlockstoredotcom

I think it was around the $10USD mark the last time I looked. I got my codes within an hour.

Both my D2Gs are used worldwide on GSM networks and are behaving well. I just did the edit of the radio image that should remove the band locks when I am next in the US in a couple of weeks, that should be interesting!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thekn:
When I make a picture (in daylight) and I put my Flash on,

the Shutter Speed is much faster and the Picture quality is much better!

When I do the same but without the Flash the Picture quality is much worser...:confused:

Is there a way to change the Shutter Speed, or to fix this?

Anyone noticed the same?
[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
Just wondering if there are any launchers that is similar to Sense but without all the bloat sense has? I really like sense's favorites and friends stream. Does Launcher Pro do all that?
[Thunderbolt General] rjs5117:
If you buy the full version of launcher pro, it includes a set of widgets that are modeled after the sense widgets. The calendar and people widgets are nearly identical, and the social network widgets are actually superior imo.
[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
Sweet! Excellent first post their buddy!
[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
What about Go Launcher? Does it have similar widgets as you described?
[Thunderbolt General] Mean Bro Greene:
In the admittedly short time I've played with GO Launcher, It doesn't appear to have extra widgets. However, as mentioned before, Launcher Pro Plus has a contacts widget that you can set to show favorites. I highly recommend LP plus. I've been using Launcher Pro for over a year on every device I've had. I just can't find a launcher thats as smooth and bug free.
[Thunderbolt General] ajftl:
SPB launcher 3d
[Thunderbolt General] glorysk87:
fancy widges and beautiful widgets are both good and give a decent sense like clock.
[Thunderbolt General] dirtyfingers:
I would definitely recommend lpp. The widgets are quite similar to what sense has to offer, except I really like the sense news widget which lpp does not have. I have yet to find a similar news widget on the market that compares to sense, does anybody know if there is one available?
[Thunderbolt General] m00nshake:
+1 for SPB Mobile Shell... I've been beta testing it since January on different devices and it's my daily driver...
[Thunderbolt General] BobVS:
Here's a question, I'm coming to the bolt from the original Moto Droid. Lovin the Bolt but hate the Phone app, the moto would list frequently dialed number on the opening screen and you could search easier as well. Wondering if there is a mode that changes just the phone app. The rest of sense I like but the phone app drives me crazy!
[Thunderbolt General] Ovrclck:
I went ahead and purchased LPP. Running smooth. Next purchase will be beutiful widgets. Thanks guys!
[Thunderbolt General] bmcclure937:
You can use Go Contacts. This includes Go Dialer.

I do not like the HTC Sense dialer/contacts much either. Cannot wait for CM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
I'm running Android Revolution ver 3.3 and am debating whether or not to change ROMs yet. My hesitation is the future patch for 4G speeds...

Will the upcoming patch require that users flash a brand-new ROM when AT&T/HTC releases the new patch (assumed to be a ROM) to support 4G?

Or, will this be a radio release for this change? Since they said it is coming out this month (April) I want to ensure that I don't waste time upgrading multiple times over...
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
the only people who NEED this patch are folks who are not running a rooted ROM with a modified build.prop. In other words very few people here at XDA.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crypted:
And, how would we check to see which ROM's are and are not running those modified build.prop's? Some ROM's mention it some don't...

Thanks for clarifying this though. I'm glad to know that many are already running the modified file. Hopefully I won't have to worry on it for my or my wife's phone!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
run a speed test. if your upload goes faster than 200kbs you're good to go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Also, the "patch" is for HSUPA, not 4g

[HTC Inspire 4G] kofrad:
You may also want to look into the thread I have linked below. It goes into detail on the data speed related build.prop settings. It is pretty simple to edit them yourself as long as you are rooted. Just use Root Tools and in the build.prop editor find (or add if needed) the values you want to change, edit them and save.

Editing build.prop for faster data speeds.

Personally I am using these settings and seem to only be limited by the network itself. As far as I'm concerned, I'm 4G ready, still waiting on ATT though..

The only problem is that I don't think that it will work on the epic. If someone can optimize it for the epic, that would be great.

Here is the link:

[Epic 4G Themes] Leon H:
I just saw that this got released for the Thunderbolt. I'll give it a shot on my Epic and see how it does. I'm betting it won't work.

If it doesn't work, this should be modded to work with the Epic as soon as possible. It will make me a happy man.
[Epic 4G Themes] 063_XOBX:
Not going to happen. It's thunderbolt only and most likely authenticates the device and network since Skype has an exclusive agreement with VZW.
[Epic 4G Themes] Darkshneider:
To quote Decad3nce from twitter:

"Skype: <CheckBoxPreference android:summary="Disable the exclusivity check to use on all phones" android:defaultValue="false" /> heh"

Dunno what it means but it looks like it can be edited to be used on any device.
[Epic 4G Themes] k0nane:
It's a joke.
[Epic 4G Themes] Decad3nce:
It was half joke/half not(it mostly just made me lulz). That's from the actual debug_settings.xml that skype threw in;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PreferenceScreen
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<CheckBoxPreference android:title="Disable exclusivity check" android:key="disable_exclusivity" android:summary="Disable the exclusivity check to use on all phones" android:defaultValue="false" />
</PreferenceScreen>

I manage to get skypevideo to install on the epic, but it won't authorize correctly yet.(It was crapping on install due to needing com.htc.devices library), so just kanged that out of the manifest.

Swapped around a bit of byte code to where it checks SkypeCallCenter for compatibility but craps out and throws the following string:

SplashScreenActivity.smali: const-string v0, "Sorry, your phone is not able to use this version of Skype. To find out more about Skype on mobile, visit www.skype.com"

The following apk installs fine, but it'll throw that string every time on init:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/Skype-Epic.apk

I probably goofed something up as well. I'm gonna go get some sleep and look at it again tomorrow.

If anyone else wants to take a shot at it, here's the decompiled apk(faux-source files) from apktool:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9992367/com.skypevideo.zip

EDIT:

Derp, for more reference:

The apk clearly has support for everything from LG -> Samsung devices. Though we might have to throw in some dummy stubs like the HTC Camera hardware stub.

The merlin config shows snippets of it:

default-videohost:off
default-voicehost:off
lg-voicehost:off
htc-videohost:on
htc-voicehost:on
lg-videohost:off
lg-voicehost:off
samsung-videohost:off
samsung-voicehost:off
[Epic 4G Themes] Decad3nce:
Oh, and another thing, someone at Skype included 50% GPL'd code in their apk.

So we should demand source, because we can.

Proguard ftl.

I would recommend superoneclick by CLShortfuse for the actual rooting. Works great, and you can enable non market apps with the same program. One note, in the top right of the box that opens, you will have to choose either "psneuter" or "rage...cage". I think most people choose the rage option, but psneuter is chosen by default.
