Everywhere speeds will vary like always. I can't speak on Comcast speeds but I've heard they're fast. On average Sprint's 4G is around 3-6 mbps, I may be wrong. It is however slightly slower than LTE.
[HTC EVO 3D] radiohead_freak:
thats what she said.

sorry.

carry on
[HTC EVO 3D] johnchad14:
Verizon's 4G is currently unlimited, and costs the same as their 3G data plans (no extra fee) contrary to prior posts in thread. All indications are that it won't be much longer though. The real kicker for anyone enthused for the evo3d is that no mention of a similarly spec'ed HTC device on Verizon at the moment...I'd give it 50/50 for appearing by late in the year.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Have you seen goodfellas?
[HTC EVO 3D] bradleyw801:
If you want truly unlimited everything with Verizon, your total cost would be $119.98 before taxes or any other fees. That's $89.99 for talk and text, and another $29.99 for data. For the moment, they aren't charging any additional for 4G data on the T-bolt. But, they do cap all their customers at 5GB of data per month. It's all in the fine print.

"Verizon Wireless strives to provide customers the best experience when using our network, a shared resource among tens of millions of customers. To help achieve this, if you use an extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users we may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand. Our proactive management of the Verizon Wireless network is designed to ensure that the remaining 95% of data customers aren't negatively affected by the inordinate data consumption of just a few users."

You can choose a plan that gives you 900 minutes total, and unlimited calling to any 5 numbers you choose, along with unlimited text and data, for a total of $109.98. That might be the most comparable to the Sprint Everything Data plan. Which is 450 minutes total, but free calls to ANY mobile on ANY carrier, and also has unlimited text and data. The difference is, this is $69.99 from Sprint, with a $10 data charge, for a total of $79.99 before tax and fees.

And, Sprint is truly unlimited. Some users in the Evo 4g forum said that when they got to 35gb in one month, Sprint moved them to the slower connection speeds until a new bill cycle started. Verizon does this at 5gb.

Here is the pricing breakdown:

Sprint vs. Verizon

$99.99 vs $119.98 = Unlimited

$79.99 vs $109.98 = minutes, plus free calls to mobiles

Apples to apples is hard to compare, but for the price, Sprint is a lot more affordable. And the service will be comparable. When it comes to calling and 3g, Sprint roams on verizon towers anyway, and since you are unlimited, you can roam without penalties. I know this from experience.

My vote, stick with Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
@ Bradleyw801.....actually i'm on the 69.99 450 minutes and unlimited everything else with the Hero...I dont want to pay more for Comcast high speed if I can upgrade $10 more with sprint to get 4G.

I think I'll stay with Sprint....thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] osi13:
Sprint is a lot cheaper. Using the everything plus referral program -- everyone has access to this through the russ.s.mcguire email address -- you can get 500 minutes and everything else for $60 a month. Also, if you need a family plan you can get a much better deal. I pay about $48 for roughly 1000 minutes on my family shared plan.

If you're clever you can route calls via 3g though a hosted PBX box/Google voice and not pay for minutes -- or pay about $4-6 dollars a month with a service like Vitelity. I tried to get a data only plan from Sprint, but they wouldn't give it to me. Apparently you need to prove that you're deaf.

Verizon is the better network, but Sprint is dramatically cheaper. Also, Verizon's idea of unlimited 4g is 10gb per month; not quite unlimited.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ripp the Jacker:
Do you know if everything plus referral program can be used in person at an authorized dealer? I'm porting my number to sprint when the EVO3d comes out and i don't want to have to ship my phone and be without service between the order and receiving of the phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] kinextions:
What is the russ.s.mcguire email and how do you get the discount????
[HTC EVO 3D] Samzebian:
wow I didn't know they even offered Data-only, even if only for the deaf. Good to know...:p
[HTC EVO 3D] strikeIII:
I'm averaging 6-8mbps in downtown Chicago. I can't complain about that. Verizon's LTE is not much faster plus once their LTE coverage gets a little more saturated the speeds will come down. That was the same when Sprint first released WIMAX in chicago. We got very fast speeds from their first 4G data card until more devices started coming out. Either carrier has been good to me as far as service goes but it all comes down to Sprint being a cheaper option. I pay $81 a month, including taxes and fees, after my corporate discount on Sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] JoeBarg:
Comcast? No, definitely not. It peaks around 10 mb/s
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
At the end of the day, sprint is better. Cheaper plans and good service (where I live) makes its perfect. Yea their phones aren't as much of a variety as Verison, but with the 3d and nexus and eventually the galaxy s2 it will be sweet.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
Sprint is much more affordable, and I get the yearly upgrades. On top of that, sprint tends to supoort android like t-mobile, so the likeliness of a lock bootloader is low (at least an encrypted one.)
[HTC EVO 3D] Nsandhu23:
Also with the T Mobile and ATT merge happening, Google doesn't want to have T Mobile as their premier network. Sprint is the only contender left, and that's why Sprint is getting the Nexus S. Google will now lean towards Sprint because ATT isn't the image Google wants.

From my Gingerbread Hero.
[HTC EVO 3D] WORDMAN713:
I have Comcast in Houston and my speeds are 50 mb/s down and 10 mb/s up on average. It totally depends on your area and how much you are willing to pay (I pay $35/month).
[HTC EVO 3D] Overstew:
I pay $55 a month for internet, and I get 25 mbps DL/4 mbps UL. You're very lucky. :p
[HTC EVO 3D] noesilva:
I was paying 45 for cable this is much more affordable. No cap or throttling
[HTC EVO 3D] sprinttouch666:
Sprint > VZW IMO. Yes, VZW's 4G is faster, but Sprint's 4G is in many more places. There both fast, the importance of 4G is debatable. What isn't debatable is that I pay significantly less for my Sprint plan than i would for the same thing on VZW, and i can roam on VWZ's network for free. Moreover, Sprint has UNLIMITED data, which you can't get on VZW.

End all be all: the Evo 3D is significantly better than anything VZW will release for at least 6-8 months.
[HTC EVO 3D] JDM Civic EG8:
Wondering the same thing..
[HTC EVO 3D] dp92180:
No comparison on price...that's for sure...Sprint by a mile!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] sinistersai4d4d:
I recently inherited a Sprint Touch Pro. I want to put a stable version of Android on there. (2.2 or 2.3 whichever is more stable).

I need info on how to root and remove winmo and how to flash Android. I tried searching but I'm coming up short on the initial process of removing winmo.

Any help would be appreciated.

To motivate you.. here's a picture of me using my Touch Pro. Please ignore the cord and the watermark.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
Sure it is... :p :rolleyes:

We are all running Gingerbread at the moment. You may check out the dedicated thread HERE. Please be sure to check which device you have before attempting; just to ensure best experience with your device. Also, please read the first post in it's enirety. If you encounter any issues, mention which device and what you have attempted.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] fly2pete:
I am using my Nook Color with an sdcard based CM7 installation. This allows me to use a Bluetooth GPS device, but as stated the current range is only about a max of 5 feet.

My requirement was to use some Memory Map qct files (which I had purchased previously) with a decent display. Memory Map have been dragging their feet in producing an Android software module, but somebody has beaten them to it. It is called "MM Tracker" and can be downloaded from the Market for £4.99. The product performs well and has quite a lot of good features.

I have used a program called "Bluetooth GPS" (available free from Market) to connect to the bluetooth gps device, and this then offers itself to MM Tracker.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ro_bro:
Hi,

I'm using an AOSP Gingerbread ROM (Deck ROM), and I noticed that the video camera records in m4v format, which I hate. It's a pain to edit, convert, etc. Is there way that you can change this to mp4?

Also, I know that MIUI uses the mp4 format, does anyone know what format Sense uses?

I hope there's a simple way to change this for the Deck ROM.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gimj01:
I made a flashable zip to make the status bar transparent on CM7...expect future updates for different gradations and colors...

Transparency situation with launchers:

ADWLauncher

: works after unchecking "System Preferences" > "Wallpaper hack";

LauncherPro

: works only with live wallpapers or with normal wallpapers, but you have to hide notification bar on "Appearance Settings" in LauncherPro.

Stock GB launcher

: works, no issues.

Go Launcher EX

: as LauncherPro users.

Enjoy!

P.S. Wallpaper here

Transparency SB:

Transparency gradient

Transparency 100%

I was the first to reply! XD works perfect gimj..Good job!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] edl:
Sorry, t hink it´s noob question

I´m not shure wahat cm 7 realy is :confused:, so i would like to ask:

Can I use this with Android Revolution HD Rom 3.3 and Revolution Theme- 1.84 transition framework(leedroid).

Sorrq for asking

Short answer is enough yes or no ;-(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Valleyman23:
cm7 stands for CyanogenMod 7..a custom rom based on android 2.3.3 gingerbread. You should really try it out if you never did. XD
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] robertus3d:
Very interesting, I'll go to try and report!:D
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gimj01:
No...they have 2 different frameworks...it isn't possible :(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] mrjonnyrock:
i like, do really no word of lie...

...so i flashed Transparency SB.zip and when the phone started up it was transparent but once fully boot the status bar went back to normal? what be wrong?

I use ADW pro? and no other themes/mods, CM7 V7.0.0.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] inzaghi75:
The same by me :(
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gimj01:
Both of you using ADWLauncher EX? I'm with GB stock launcher and no problems...I'll test with ADWLauncher and see what happens...thanks for the feedback. :p
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gimj01:
Solved ADW issues: uncheck "Wallpaper hack" under "System preferences".
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] ButtonBoy:
This is excellent! The only visual change I wanted to my CM7, and it's so simple.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cjward23:
Will this work on other phones using cm7
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gimj01:
I don't know...the only thing that I edited is SystemUI.apk...you can try but backup first!
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cjward23:
It works on my desire z running cm7 stable as long as I don't have a theme selected in the theme chooser.

Do you mind if I post a link for this over in the desire z forum?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] gimj01:
Sure! Post everywhere you want!:D BTW on DHD works also with Cyanbread and Androidian themes (default themes)...right DHD users?:confused:
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Valleyman23:
It works with different themes. But only if i hide the status bar. Then when i press menu it shows transparent. Else not.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] cjward23:
I was trying it with lucid by sonnysekhon.

I have also just tried it on top of a old fashioned flashable theme and when I rebooted I got FC's.

I'm guessing it may of worked on cyanbread and androidian because they are very close to stock and might not try to change the original notification bar.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] edl:
Thank you

Thank you very much for the information.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Morak75:
Nice job, but could be very nice job if you find something to have this on the home of launcherpro.

To have to hide the notif' bar isn't cool ;(

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwshadow:
I am currently running superclean 2.9. There doesn't appear to be touchwiz on here. If i want a new kernel am i looking for an AOSP kernel? Does that mean non touchwiz? Or am should I flash a touchwiz kernel?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwshadow:
I am also currently running an eb01 voodoo kernel. When flashing a different voodoo kernel do i need to dissable lag fix? and if so how can i make sure it is dissabled?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSonicEmerald:
AOSP and Touchwiz are two completely different things. Touchwiz roms are those that use Samsung's Touchwiz UI and are based off unofficial OTA releases. AOSP is Android Open Source Project, and is a pure Google rom. AOSP roms includes MIUI, Cyanogenmod, and basic AOSP roms. Flash touchwiz kernels with touchwiz roms, and AOSP kernels with AOSP roms. If your on voodoo already and want to flash another voodoo kernel, then there's no need to disable it, just proceed on flashing the kernel like normal.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwshadow:
Even though superclean 2.9 doesn't appear to have the touchwiz interface I would still use a touchwiz kernel since it is based on the samsung leak?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbeas:
Yes. Most kernels are for that, unless they specifically state that they are for AOSP.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] times_infinity:
It doesnt matter if it has the touchwiz theme or not. Samsung roms are touchwiz based. That's how they built it. And super clean is a touchwiz rom.
[Optimus V Android Development] overthinkingme:
It's fully automated?
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
yep the only thing that you gotta do is download fastbootroot and the lg drivers. It will take care of everything else for you. I will say that I've tested this and my earlier variant of it quite a few times. I even made a video for the other one.
[Optimus V Android Development] bornagainpenguin:

[Optimus V Android Development] shaynes vibrant:
i get a write error suspended reset port change on my phone when trying to run this? it says waiting on device on the fast boot system? any ideas what im doin wrong thanks
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
your in fastboot by now you should be good unless you did something crazy. What will happen is windows will automatically install the fastboot drivers and do it's thing and you'll be good
[Optimus V Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
This does not seem to be happening. How can I abort the fastboot procedure so I can reboot and try again?

--bornagainpenguin
[Optimus V Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
Hello? Please someone be there who can help me!

The detection sequence you describe did not work, Windows is not finding the drivers properly. Is it safe to reboot the machine while in fastboot? Can I unplug the USB without bricking my phone?

--bornagainpenguin
[Optimus V Android Development] overthinkingme:
If nothing has flashed, I'm sure you're fine. It dependant on how far it got .

Would op mind posting the manual way to root through fast boot?
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
yes your okay to unplug your phone the process either works all the way or not at all I'm confused as to why it didn't install the drivers though. I guess I'll just have to add them to the batch
[Optimus V Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
How do I know?

Right now the screen says:

Fastboot mode started
gpio_12c: invalid khz: 0
b1: i2c write error
udc_start()
-- suspend --
--reset --
-- portchange --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
STALL GET_DESCRIPTOR 128 6 1006 0 18
-- reset --
-- portchange --
-- reset --
-- portchange --

I removed the battery and the phone restarted without issues. Not sure why things did not go the way they're supposed to--could it be because I had the drivers from the ROMTOOLS package installed before? NOTE: Prior to trying this procedure I uninstalled all of those and rebooted before installing the drivers linked here.

Another thought, OP says he is running Windows Seven; I am on Windows XP. Could this have anything to do with my trouble?

--bornagainpenguin

UPDATE: I tried installing the drivers included with the ROMTOOLS package and my phone was recognized again. No luck when trying to run fastboot. Not sure why this is happening or why I am unable to use the drivers OP linked to. They seem to install when clicked but the system doesn't seem to think the drivers apply to this phone for some reason...
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
Okay what happened was your fastboot drivers didn't install correctly I'm in the process of uploading a video to show you how to install the fastboot drivers.

I wrote this while before your last post yes there is a problem with windows xp. It doesn't download them like it would on windows 7. I can test all day long on windows 7 but not on xp. The method in the video should work for xp users
[Optimus V Android Development] bornagainpenguin:
I appreciate the effort, but unless the video is closed captioned it may not do me much good. I am hard of hearing (one of the reasons why I picked this phone was its high T4 rating which works well with my hearing aids and telecoil adapter --think headphones for hard of hearing people) so cannot always hear audio on videos very good.

[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
I've integrated the fastboot drivers into the next release for windows xp I need a beta tester before I release this.
[Optimus V Android Development] Classpro:
Does this just root our existing system, or does it install a whole new rooted image (requiring us to reinstall all of our programs and settings)?

I have XP, by the way. If it just roots, I would be willing to beta test (but if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work, I want to be able to get back to where I was as my phone works well).

sounds bad a$$.......ganna try it
[Optimus V Android Development] Jow24:
sorry 4 the question but this is workin actually with lg optimus v from virgin mobile?
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
just updated the first post with new version. It adds self installing fastboot drivers for windows xp, and revert to factory settings. Yes this is for the optimus v also added video
[Optimus V Android Development] ZipLipZ:
This is great. Thanks!!

I flashed the recovery to my wifes phone and took a nand backup.

I noticed your using the recovery that was originally made for the optimus s. Any particular reason you wouldn't use CWRecovery 3.0.0.6? Is there any difference worth noting? Just curious really if there is a benefit to one or the other?
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
personal preference/experience from the past
[Optimus V Android Development] mattazn:
Hey, I tried using this thing, and now my phone is stuck on the blue screen that says Fastboot mode started

gpio_12c: invalid khz: 0

b1: i2c write error

udc_start()

and When I remove the battery and put it back in, it just reboots into that again

*edit* also no ADB
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
Describe what you did? The way this program is designed it either works or it doesn't. It really can't cause harm.
[Optimus V Android Development] doomcookie:
I am probably just really stupid, but how do I get out of recovery mode? I seem to be stuck in a reboot loop.
[Optimus V Android Development] mattazn:
I dl'd your thing, and ran the batch with option 1 Flash a recovery. It the flashed the recovery and I was back to android, then the next time I restarted my phone I can only boot into a recovery where none of the buttons work. I cannot boot just into android.
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
I don't know what to tell you I've ran this several times as have others. There's no way that it can go wrong unless the drivers didn't install and if the drivers don't install the program won't run. Basically what I'm saying again is that the program either works or it doesn't. It can't error. So you must have done something else to your phone either you forgot or you need to say what you did. Actually all you got to do is run option 2 and that'll set you straight.
[Optimus V Android Development] doomcookie:
Running option two (or one) seems to work but I still reboot to recovery mode. I feel like there is just a step I'm missing or something? Is there like an option to reboot in not-recovery mode?
[Optimus V Android Development] mattazn:
Naw man, It popped up and said the drivers installed correctly when I ran it. In my devices page it shows up as Android hardware and it's function is Fastboot Interface (Google USB Id) and type is ADB Interface although ADB can't find the phone, so I can't use your batch.

With the USB in, my phone now says

Fastboot mode started

[Optimus V Android Development] dubb83:
Did you happen to name the recovery "vrecovery.img"?
[Optimus V Android Development] Asadullah:
lol what? I don't think he he has an optimus v. Or he was poking around with something he shoudn't have till he knew what he was doing. I don't know. Anyways nothing in the folder should or needs to be changed if you do then when it wipes the previous image it won't flash the new image meaning that you will get bootloops or worse.
