Pretty much from Mid-County to the Lehigh Valley exit is still 3G in most areas but south towards the city and in the Lehigh Valley itself is all LTE. I travel down from Allentown to Philly regularly and I can tell you this from personal experience.

FYI Lehigh Valley LTE is down right now but I just got out of a meeting with Verizon (less than an hour ago) and they supposedly knew there was some maintenance being done in our area (so that may be the reason for the current outage.) If you switch out of LTE Mode to CDMA LTE auto you should pick up 3G (I'd also enable airplane mode and then disable it to pick up a strong 3G for right now.)

Oh and +1 on the rooted/non-rooted thing. You can flash back to non-rooted stock from a rooted state to send it back. Instructions are in the development forum.
[Thunderbolt General] mg00000:
Hi there, thanks for that info i appreciate it. I seem to be missing where htc allows us to switch btwn the 4g and 3g, i searched for the question but didn't get much results. So i'll my noob question right here. Where is that done?

I see under Settings > Wire & networks > Mobile network settings there is a System select option, for "Change the cdma roaming mode", is this where i'm supposed to be? Roaming doesn't seem to be the area i'd think to have to change this particular thing, but i don't see much else in these menus. Please advise or link a thread that i didn't see in my results.

Verizon has a problem with their new eHRPD network.. which is what the Thunderbolt is on by default.. (this allows for 4G + simultaneous talk and browse on 3G).. However, though 4G works OK, 3G doesn't seem to.

In order to tap into Verizon's original 3G network.. dial ##778# on your phone.. go to edit mode (you'll see pop up after you dial that number)..password is 000000 (6 zeros).. go to modem settings.. Rev.A and eHRPD is probably selected there by default.. choose "Enable" option... which will kick it out of eHRPD and then hit menu.. commit changes.. and the phone will reboot. You'll be on Verizon's original 3G network which will work fine.. but you won't have 4G.

This took a lot of trial and error, so I thought I should post my method for everyone! I am running MIUI_1.4.29_OsiMood Optimized v1.3, which is a 2.3.3 Rom, however, I am relatively certain this should apply to any glacier 2.3.3 rom, including older miui and cm7. Here is how I did it:

Download lithid gapps 0504 signed.zip from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056205

I ended up with a mess of FCs trying to flash this zip as instructed, so I extracted the zip and did the following:

adb remount
adb push libtalk_jni.so /system/lib/
adb push Talk.apk /system/app/
adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/

You then need to properly set the permissions for both Talk.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk

I used Root Explorer to browse to these files in /system/app/ long press on each of them and set permissions to the following:

User: Read Write

Group: Read

Others: Read

Reboot

At this point I was able to make and receive voice and video calls. Switching cameras crashes, and phone should be landscape when initializing video chat.

In order to use these features over cellular data, I was able to use this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13477675&postcount=1

There is a new Talk.apk floating around that should work over cellular without any hacking, however I have not tried it yet and cannot say if it will work with the rest of this. That file is attached as talk1.3.nowifi.update-signed.zip here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13328944&postcount=1

Obviously you should all remember to back up your system, clearing cache and Dalvik Cache may help as well.

Hope someone finds this helpful!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] phuzznut:
I can verify that this works! I couldn't get the other (flash through recovery) methods to work, but this did the trick. I used the same files you did, I don't really have the need for video chat over 4g

Ever saw a ROM that you want for this phone. Well now is your chance to get it ported.

I thinking of learning to port and was looking for a ROM.

I am taking suggestions, but they must follow the following requirements.

- must be available on a device that is the same resolution as our phone (480*800)

-must be a ROM that we do not already have (if I am going to learn, I might as well do something that will benefit the community)

-must be a portable ROM...(I.e. not touchwiz which no one has been able to port to any device.)

I really do not mind if it is a device native ROM (comes pre-loaded on a device) or if it was developed or nodded by a dev.

Furthermore I am not guaranteeing a port or a timeline. Though I will guarantee that If i get a port working, I will post it.

I look forward to your suggestions.

I'm just gonna backtrack a bit here, it looks like some weird sd card partitioning is important to that HD2 rom. So I would say port the Desire z rom, but attempt to mimic the one I linked.

Hi there, I also can't do the update to google maps 5.40 :-(

I already post the problem in a german forum, but there is no one else, who got any problems with the update so far.

I decide to contact Acer tomorrow and I hope they got a solution for this.

Maybe it has something to do with the different versions of the rom.

By the way my Build Version is Acer_A500_1.107.01_EMEA_CU7

I also find out, that my version of google maps is very old. I got the version 5.20 on my tablet :-(
[Acer Iconia A500] Neoprimal:
It's a really stupid question but did you hit the update button? Not the one over the apps in the left side but under the open, somewhere in the middle.
[Acer Iconia A500] Gulliver2000:
Hi there :-)

Yes of course did I hit the update button ;-)

But it won't finish the installation successfull :-(

I also got an Samsung I9000 and I tried to exchange the maps.apk on the A500 with the new one from the smartphone, but unsuccessfull.

First I renamed the maps.apk into mapsold.apk on the tab and copied the file from the I9000 into the system/app folder, but the A500 still

starts the old one. Really strange.

When I moved the file mapsold.apk to the external sd-card, the app icon disapeared in the app list and this ist more strange.

I give up for this time and will contact acer and ask them to solve this problem.

I hope the can explain it to me...

Good night....
[Acer Iconia A500] julz:
it's possibly because of where the original APK for google maps is located. A possible workaround (please backup your google maps APK) is to:

1. Enable root access on your tablet

2. Download root explorer

3. Using root explorer, delete the google maps APK file from the system/app directory

4. Using the Google market download google maps - it should allow you to install it now into user memory space
[Acer Iconia A500] GeneralSmart:
i could now successfully update! The problem was i was just having 200 Mb left on sd card...dunno why this was not inogh...i deleted some movies now i have around 4 Gb left and update succeed!
[Acer Iconia A500] Gulliver2000:
Hi, I tried it under root. I delete the original file with rootexplorer and installed google maps again from the market. The installation still failed :-(

I wrote an email to acer support and i'm waiting for an answer.

Maybe something is wrong with my tab or with the rom.

Wish all of you a nice weekend :-)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirouzbe:
Greetings to all Xoom users!

I'm a happy Xoom Wifi user (HWI69) with some basic root questions.

- If I unlock and root my Xoom will I be able to unroot and relock my xoom since the official motorola files are out?

- If I follow the procedure to unlock and root the xoom will I lose all the apps/configuration that I have customized?

- Is there a way to make a full backup without rooting?

- Is there anyway to use the sdcard slot without rooting the xoom?

- Any news on a motorola update that will activate the sdcard slot?

- I saw quite a lot of users who have bricked their wifi xoom trying to root the beast. Since the official motorola wifi files are available is it guaranty that I will be able to unbrick my xoom if something goes wrong?

- Is there a difference between soft brick and hard brick?

I think that's all for the moment :-)

Thanks for your help!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
That was my .02 but more detailed information is available in the forum. ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
They have had problems only because they attempted to relock without flashing the official Motorola images first; Motorola did not have these available for download until very recently. So long as you don't try and relock without the correct images on the device first, you should be fine.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spirouzbe:
Thanks for the answers ! I have read about all the posts on the Xoom section and i asked those questions because im kind of confused as the informations found are quite different depending on the model/date of the posts.

Some more questions :)

- For the unrooted backup do you have any app suggestions ?

- What is the purpose of ClockWorkMod Recovery ? Will it protect me from flashing the wrong xoom files (boot ?) ? Kind of a HardSPL/USPL we use with the HTC custom roms ?

So now that we have those correct motorola images we are able to relock the Wifi Xoom without any problem ?

Thanks again for all your help :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ydaraishy:
If you do it properly, I don't see why not.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Land Master:
I use My Backup Pro. It's not free but its pretty good. Actually haven't tried it yet on the Zoom but it works fine on my EVO. For rooted users Titanium Backup is good.

The custom recovery will be the foundation of "easy" upgrades to new Rom's, kernels, etc. through flash-able files. Without it you would be required to use ADB to "push" everything to the device. It is also the best backup solution to insure a "complete" backup of your entire system through the Nandroid backup feature. This feature is currently experiencing issues because it is trying to backup the entire "internal" storage to an "external SD card". Since the card is formatted as Fat32 the largest file it can hold is 4GB. This poses a problem because the "internal" drive could have "partitions" larger than 4GB if you have a lot of media on your device. Its still a work in progress. As far as if it "protects" you.....probably not. You need to be sure of what you are doing before using the features.

Regarding the re-lock.... A few users have posted that they were able to re-lock their device but I do not believe anyone has posted as to whether doing so erases any indication that the device was originally un-locked. If you plan on keeping your Xoom for the long haul, I would recommend un-locking and leaving it alone. If for some reason you need to return it for service...THEN worry about re-locking it and dealing any potential pit falls doing so may uncover.

running RcMix S 1.1 rom...but my proximity sensor plays up during calls had same issue when on stock rom. When using RcMIx HD i could use the power button to turn the screen on when in a call. anyone know of a work around for RcMix S / app i can use to enable this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerrari:
Try latest MIUI Rom... I moved to it from my long running rom Oxygen; and wish I had done it earlier. MIUI has a setting where you can switch off the proximity sensor and it works like a charm. You can even wake the screen through trackpad button which is lot easier.

I was, as well, suffering from owning one of those desires with faulty proximity sensor as you do. But after MIUI, I rediscovered my phone. The rom itself looking very decent as system and user interface.

I was in the o2 shop today playing about with the Galaxy S2 and I noticed that if I angled the screen slightly, everything would get a blue tint to it. This was most noticeable when there is a lot on white on the screen.

Is this a common problem with the new handset, as I remember reading a similar thing with the older super amoled panels?

I loved the phone, but was put off by the blue tint.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsheron:
I've actually noticed this myself with a phone I bought from phones4u (avoid them at all costs). It's very odd I thought for SAMOLED since I thought they're not meant to have viewing angle issues like LCD and my old, original Galaxy S certainly doesn't have this issue. Also noticed slightly yellow whites. I got another SGSII from o2 (with bad GPS issues) that had a better screen but I must say - the evenness was a bit off and that was a big surprise given the SGSII is meant to have SAMOLED+ which is technically "better".

I'm beginning to think a bad first batch - i.e. rushed manufacturing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterDroid:
Even though its supposed to have good viewing angles, its not supposed to be extreme like the iphone 4, there still will be a point with samoled that you will start to see a little distortion.. The blue tinge is on the first galaxy phones too, its something that is inherent with samoleds... You want to worry when you have the screen on full brightness and you see any yellow... But you will see the whites go a bit yellow when the brightness is low. samoleds have their own DNA and everyone is made differently. I do not think this batch was rushed at all, i actually think this is a better first batch than the first Nexus S batch, there was returns flying back from everywhere. I had 4 different NS myself..

I have also gone through 3 SGS2's but rightly so, two had a low hepatic feedback and press area on the back button and one had the piss yellow screen of death;)

But it worked out better for me because I returned the P4U one for 530 and bought an O2 one for 399. So faulty phones really do save you money;P

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Very strange. I have ordered one from o2 online to be delivered in 30 days time as I have already got a contract with Orange that doesn't run out for 2 months and I wanted to take up the discounted line rental offer thats running at mo.

Hopefully most of the problems will be sorted by the time I get mine :)

P.S. I wouldn't use Phones4U either. Heard quite a few horror stories about them.

Anyone else noticed a blue or yellow tint ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
The one I played with today had quite severe blue tint with minimal movement of the handset.

Have yet to see what the yellow tint is like.

I'm sure I read in a review that Samsung have put in an option to change the colour balance on the Galaxy S2 ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unnddd:
I hadn't noticed this until you stated it in this thread, and to be honest I can only see it when there's a white background. Personally, I don't think there are issues that detract from the user experience, and that's all that matters! ;)

The Samsung Galaxy S II is still by far the best phone in the market right now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterDroid:
Yes they have,

There is 3 presets,

One is like a nexus s pre 2.3.3 colour, and one is a post nexus 2.3.3 and one is somewhere in the middle;) But what your seeing is something not linked to the colour balance, your seeing what is a screen defect. But a blue hue is quite normal and not so off putting as a piss yellow hue;) The blue hue was desirable on the galaxy S. The iPhone 4 will have better white replication than the samoleds due to that its a LCD screen, But the blacks will always be better on the samoled;)

I have noticed this on the Galaxy s2 I was looking at in the store yesterday.

If I tilted the screen only about 15-20 degrees whites would appear blue. It realy put me off.

That was the only model they had there though, so I could not check if it was a defect specific to that one piece.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wackyD:
Just a suggestion: it could be due to the gorilla glass. Could be a refractive property when viewed at an angle.
