[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
Basically the story goes that i recently switched from the Epic to the Sidekick 4G with T-Mobile. When i ported my # over to Tmo, the service on the Epic was automatically cancelled..... the account is in my girl's name, and she immediately calls up Sprint to reinstate service on the line, with a new #. Cool, so Sprint sets it all up on their end, but.... no service on the Epic. So we bring it in and see what they can do, and they say it is all set up in the system..... so the guy tries a factory reset.

Well I had midNIGHT 5.2 with the Honeycomb Fusion theme loaded on the Epic(the guy doesn't know the difference), and the phone gets caught in a bootloop on the boot animation, lol. i end up telling him that the phone was rooted, etc., so he says basically it's up to me to work whatever "magic" on it that i can. (Yeah, i considered playing dumb and trying to get a new phone from them, but i had bought the thing off Craigslist, and never had any warranty papers or insurance. plus, that's dishonest :rolleyes:) So i actually get my laptop from the car, and plop down on their couch, and Odin stock EB13 on the phone. The guy was super cool, and in fact was amazed at what i was doing..... he even whispers to me to ask if i would root his Evo!

Anyway, even with stock EB13, the phone doesn't connect, which i suspected because i already had tried that in the beginning. So i figure maybe the phone needs to be on DI18 for it to connect. i realize that i had gotten a new laptop and had only downloaded EB13 and EC05, so i was gonna need to download DI18 off XDA. After trying unsuccessfully to get internet service in the store(great advertising for Sprint internet service, lol), i head off the my doctor's appointment, and download it in the waiting room. While waiting for the doctor to look at my hurt back, I Odin DI18 and BAM, the phone number changes on the phone, and phone and texting work! No 3G however..... i did see 3G for a second but it dissappeared..... 4G worked great.

So i figure I'd bring it back to the store to let those guys see what they could do.... and to show them that it did indeed connect once back on DI18. The guy gives the Epic it to his female colleague who does another factory reset and successfully updates the PRL, and the 3G starts working.

So anyway, who knows.... maybe something is screwed with the whole Froyo thing, and the Epic can only be activiated on DI18? In any case, i think i made that guy's day, showing him in person what you can do with your Android phone!

thx lol, but naw, i just thought it was a potentially interesting story for the community.
[Epic 4G General] seanwn86:
Me and my brother had our epics both rooted the first day we got them.

By a sprint tech, not a store tech either. One of the writers for the actual codes.

Told us the factory set up was sh!t lol

You should have said "yeah, and I'll help you load this custom ROM by this guy Konikub... or Evokings... You may have heard of them. They're with this super-awesome team called ACS."

;) ;)
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
The more time I spend here, the more I begin thinking a whole lot of Sprint employees are XDA fans :D
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Of course they are - everyone knows XDA makes the magic that powers Android devices!
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
Yep, I would have probably tried Kings ROM if he would have called me(I have a feeling he won't tho). My friend JohnCorleone put either that one, or another ACS ROM on his friend's Evo :)
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
VERY true! The Epic was WAY bloated, ran hot and drained battery like crazy, out of the box. Not to mention the keyboard lag, etc etc. Don't know what we would have done without you kOnane, as far as Carrier IQ discovery and removal, and everything else. Kudos to all the devleopers here!
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
And what's the deal with my Epic not activating until it was set back to DI18? Is that standard for the phone?
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
They'll learn that developers run the market for mobile phones, we make them better, faster and more reliable!
[Epic 4G General] southparkeric:
sometimes i find simply doing a hard reset by ##786# and enter your msl code this clears up weird issues as it returns the phone to out of the box and prompts the phone to be activated automatically.

hope this helps. i will do this right before i flash roms.
[Epic 4G General] waxfondlr:
i know of atleast 1 ;)

Cool, didn't know that. Perhaps that could have saved some Odining.
[Epic 4G General] bipoler:
I'm having buyers remorse idk I was getting slow 4g on my epic...so while leaving it @ sprint I went t tmobile got a nice deal couldn't resist..so I keep going back and forth on what phone 2 keep. And I see a leaked gingerbread dropped for the epic sigh...idk its pros and cons to both devices and networks I don't know anymore
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
Yeah, I hear ya, there are almost always pros and cons. The only thing I personally am missing is the Epic screen..... the SK screen is nice, but obviously a good amount smaller. Also, the Tmobile 2 gig/month cap on 4G speeds is potentially a bother. Other than that, I'm fine. Do you still have your Epic just in case?
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
When I swapped phones, we contacted sprint chat support and they walked us through manually updating the phone# from the service programming screens:

Agent (Jolly S): "At the phone dialer, press ## followed by 6-digit followed by an additional #.

Example: ##******#.

Last # entered will not show on display.

Service Program screen will be displayed, highlighted on View."

Agent (Jolly S): "Tap Edit."

ME: "ok"

Agent (Jolly S): "Tap Touch Here, then enter Mobile Directory Number (MDN) and tap Return."

Agent (Jolly S): "*********7"

Agent (Jolly S): "Use virtual keyboard to type 10-digit MSID, then tap Return.

*********9"

Agent (Jolly S): "With correct MDN and MSID entered, tap Done."

Agent (Jolly S): "After phone reboots, update profile via Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates > Update Profile.

Once complete, phone is fully activated and ready to use.

After that it connected and activated immediately. The dialer codes and stuff were removed automatically from my transcript but I'm sure they can be found on XDA easily enough.
[Epic 4G General] yogi2010:
Oh wow, they didn't do any of that at the store! Would have been much easier. Thx

Hi guys,

I am thinking about doing a stripped back ROM, which will essentially be as stock gingerbread as I can get it. Would you guys be interested, or do you think its a waste of time?
[HTC Incredible S] mikelodean7:
I would like to have such stripped ROM. Info IT is incredible fast! So fast, that i even thinking of starting an app, while its already running. U know? Edit it like i want i dann do on every ROM.

But please use the HTC cam app and Browser!

a quick translation for @mikelodean7

entfern die Sachen aus dem Rom, und um ehrlich zu sein in "nackten" Roms sollte man seinen Kram einbauen bis wir einen angepassten kernel haben

so ungefähr :-D

so btw you just remove the sense/rosie stuff and all the HTC things from the build right?

or do you wanna compile it be the source?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I can't get the compile from source to work sO ithought I would try stripping out sense from the stock ROM. Trouble is the dialer, can't remove the sense one without force close city
[HTC Incredible S] mikelodean7:
danke, so in etwa hab mir das schon übersetzt, aber die antwort auf meinen ersten post verwirrte mich//

its gonna become incredible ;) fast, if all these htc sense stuff is gone, isnt it?

This may sound like a stupid question but its really aggravating me. I rebooted my xoom yesterday and when it started back up I now have a new icon next to my clock. Its a small green battery that when clicked it tells me the level temp and voltage of my battery. I don't need this icon nor do I remember ever getting it. I've been through all of my apps that could possibly have this setting and I can't find it. I don't even have a runnin process for a program that would have that notification. Can any one after any light on this situation, I'm I just over looking something? Help please

I download and watch full movies from PC on my G1 and they play pretty well. Except that when movie reaches 1 hour and 10 minutes (70 minutes) the video stops but sound keeps playing. If I try to forward the movie before reaching 70 minutes, the videob plays normally but the sound is from the startv of the movie. The problem is consistent with the stock video player as well as all other media players available in the market. I have tried many different movies but its the same problem with the exact same timing. Does anyone have a clue about this?

[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
Does anybody got 4G service from AT&T yet? How fast is it? What city are you in?
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
Check the dev forum, we can now sbf just the radio from the telstra 1.4.2 which unlocks hsupa. I've averaged about 100 for ping and 2 down/1.4 up in Connecticut. Other users have reported better increases as well as some with less, it will still depend on your area. Flashing the sbf is quick and easy (took me about 10 min to dl and flash) and I haven't had any other issues. Good luck.

Edit: 1.4.2 radio is not our "4g" its just hsupa. Thanks for the correction.
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
I'm assuming that 4G has to be officially deployed in my area first? :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] MrCooper2012:
That's not exactly true. The Telstra radio is only for HSUPA. I get the impression that the op is talking more about download speed, but I could be wrong.

I believe I heard somewhere that they were working on the backhaul and it would be sometime before the end of the year. I don't think I have seen anything reliable about that though, mostly just hearsay and whatnot.

-Doogs™
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
you are correct, it has to come with increase backhaul at the cell sites, which has only been done in a few cities across the US. HSUPA has nothing to do with 4G. HSUPA is the upload component of HSPA, which most cell sites are on now (HSUPA is blocked on the Inspire and Atrix but not on the iPhone or Nexus One, etc). They will only be 4G or HSPA+ when increased backhaul is in place.
[Atrix 4G General] WhyBe:
Yes, I a talking about 4G service in general...up and down.

AT&T is advertising 4G as if it is already widely available.
[Atrix 4G General] MrCooper2012:
Yeah it's a bit of sneaky marketing (though unfortunately not uncommon).

The phone is certainly capable, however the service is not.

-Doogs™
[Atrix 4G General] dcarpenter85:
HSPA does not equal HSPA+.

The HSUPA update unlocks 3g speed, which is HSPA.

Without the HSUPA we are basically on crippled 3g.

HSPA+, or '4g' (more like 3.5g) will come when AT&T finally gets around to deploying the enhanced backhaul to your particular city or region.
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
http://www.att.com/network/#fbid=dhk1UG4sZJo

click on the coverage map, and run your mouse over the map. cities that have some backhaul in place will pop up like Chicago.

also, note their disclaimer anytime you see or read about 4G

*4G speeds delivered by HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. Available in limited areas. Availability increasing with ongoing backhaul deployment.
[Atrix 4G General] Immix:
AT&T's 4G network coverage map shows Baltimore as 4G enabled but I haven't seen any 4G speeds here. The fastest download speeds I have seen in Baltimore downtown area were close to 5.5Mbps. The recent radio mod does not seem to increase the download speeds.
[Atrix 4G General] dcarpenter85:
Welcome to AT&T '4g' lol.
[Atrix 4G General] BBock9:
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess I just got excited for any new radio that would give us what we pay for...
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
that is better than what I get! When I was in chicago a few months ago I saw the same speeds. your download speeds are much greater than my 3G speeds at 1.5-2 Mbps here in Denver. I assume that once more backhaul is in place across the country, that 5.5 number will go up. Also, I think I read somewhere on ATT's site that 6Mbps down would be typical of their 4G deployed this year. let me see if I can find where that is stated, I could be making it up :)

edit: here is that link

http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-...locale=&_dyncharset=UTF-8&solutionId=KB115947
[Atrix 4G General] MrCooper2012:
Yeah, no problem.

Also I occasionally try to get a response from AT&T about this, and as of a few minutes ago they responded to me on Facebook.

So it seems it's just more of the same for a while longer.

-Doogs™
[Atrix 4G General] catfarm:
Why do you assume that? I would assume the opposite really, though I would hope it won't be noticeable. I would assume once a tower is connected it is connected and that the more towers you connect the less bandwidth there is left to share.
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
I assume this because once they get the enhanced backhaul in place, they can continue to "enhance" said backhaul and not let it get stagnant. of course, that may take a while. but, this is just an assumption and has no scientific backing :D
[Atrix 4G General] mchimney:
Wait, so this update coming out this month isn't even supposed to bring '4G' (HSPA+)? It's only supposed to bring us to full '3G', and later this year we get the full '4G'?
[Atrix 4G General] dragunbayne:
I'd be happy with just having 3g installed where I am!
[Atrix 4G General] Gvndeb60:
This is a why I am so happy about the AT&T and T-Mobile merger. Regardless of it going through and no matter how long it drags on, part of it was a big roaming agreement. I am being optimistic that includes 4G because my area has T-Mobile's 21mb speed. I could handle that.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] spencersir2:
welll...

I don't think you can find one because there isn't really a switch. Cause unlike sprint, which can use wi-max, and Verizon, which uses LTE, there is really no change in the network in T-mobiles service. Cause there is GSM(Edge/2G), UMTS(3G), HSDPA and HSDPA+(4G). Cause even on my Nexus One i could use HSDPA, and i would see slight speed increase, but only "4G" phones can take full advantage of the new towers. So, there is not exactly anyway to turn 4G of outside of switching to 2G or simply turning the internet off...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
Found an app called switch pro allows me to toggle data on and off. turning it off when not in use saves me a lot of battery.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spovik:
I use one called 2g-3g on off by CurveFish. I dont htink there is any way to have a true toggle (like wifi or BT), but this brings me to the settings screen and I can adjust it easy enough as needed. It's about the best we can hope for at this point
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rashad1:
The the 4g is actually 3g, it uses the same radio. So there is no way to toggle it off, unless you want to use 2g.

I second the CurveFish App, very simple and reduces clicks necessary to disable data.

1. When running the 4.1.57 update I noticed that the phone sat at the red M logo forever. Even after pulling the battery and restarting it took a great deal of time. Is this common on the Atrix?

2. Are there any current solutions for rooting/sideload of 4.1.57 without having to flash back to a previous version? If not is there any in the works?

I want to root my phone but I've already gotten stuck in RSD mode once and had to send back the phone and that was unrooted. I just don't want to take a chance in downrevving the OS only to have it RSD of death me again.
[Atrix 4G General] Immix:
1. No that is not normal. You may have to reflash 1.5.7 sbf.

2. Search for easyroot for 1.5.7 using gingerbreak.

I have an iPad2 and love it! Placed an order for E3T on Amazon .. my order is in but on the waiting list.

But I have learned one thing ... when it comes to tablets .. the key is APPS / APPS / APPS and APPS. You could have the fastest Tegra 22 Guzillion Ghz tablet ... but if there are no good apps ... its a FAIL.

So, here are some of my favorite iPad apps .. advice me on a similar or better alternative on the Android platform ...

- GoodReader

- Zite

- Tivo App

- Xfinity TV

- Note Taker HD

- Autocad WS

- houzz

- LoopNet

- Zillow.com

- Adobe Ideas

- Ameritrade App

- Bloomberg Businessweek

- Webex

Even though I ordered the E3T ... I suspect I am going to be sorely disappointed about the lack of apps on the Android platform. Yes, like they say ... the apps base will grow ... eventually ... but by then .. the E3T may become too dated.

What they (who would 'they' be) should do is to incentivize developers to build for the Android platform !

If you don't mind paying a little money, PlayOn TV works fairly well with Honeycomb (use it on my Xoom) and supports local video, Netflix, Hulu (doesn't need Hulu+), and a number of other video sources. Runs a server app on a Windows PC, then streams over wifi (including remote networks) and 3G.

It's not perfect (the Android interface lacks some features, such as scrubbing), but it works in a pinch. I have a feeling PlayOn will get their Android support fixed, and they're also optimizing for tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch33syguy:
Use cifs manager to connect to windows shares. The share is mounted on your sdcard, and all of your apps treat everything in the share as if it were on the SD card. Needs root. If you don't have root, try upnplay, use windows media player to stream over upnp.
