No matter of fact hell no. Google Sprint airwave tech specs and you will see it will bruce lee choke your speed. And I mean like he choked chuck norris in that fight they had. The air wave basically sucks no matter what.

Tech specs

Usage type

Voip=100kbps dl & 100kbps ul

Wireless call = 40kbps per call-dl & 40kbps-ul

Wireless data =up to 3mbps per session & up to 1.8mbps per session.

Equals yup you guessed it. "Grade A Garbage" Don't cut your self short. Just move the gps antenna to a window and away from the actual unit.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocaluiz:
Hello everyone,

I couldnt find any specific thread addressing this question.

I used to have Inspire 4g but now I'm on a Desire HD, since the 3G hz is 2100.

So I'd like to know if I can use the same rooting methods of Inspire 4G on the Desire HD.

More specific, could I use the methods described in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406

On my Desire HD?

I ask because the desire methods seem a little more hard a time consuming.

Thank you, this forum has been so helpful I can thank enough!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Holy hell!! And you think the methods described in the Desire HD forums are over-complicated.

in short both methods involve:

1 Make a goldcard

2 Use an early version of ROM to downgrade

3 Gain root

4 Make S-OFF

I can't tell you if the program you mention will work or not, I have my doubts, but there are one click programs for the above and even doing it manually seems a lot less fuss.

And I can tell you something for nothing, even when I ran Windoze there was nothing on this earth that would have made me install the .net framework, especially not just for something that can be done without it. Wow!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TmpUsr:
Ok here is the background as I already had S-OFF with eng bootloader months ago. Now I want to switch to diff carrier so I try the gfree meth for sim unlock. At first the gfree didn't work at all as I got eMMc fail no file found. The gfree was still located in /data/local with permission changed to 777. As I couldn't run it from Terminal I reverted back to clean stock rom and I was able to run it this time but the flag did not stick to CID-11111111 as its still CID-T-MOB010. As I also flashed to new radio I reverted back to the old stock radio. This time running gfree gives me reboot everytime right after the script is finish loading.

Now I have 3 part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin files with same checksum. But the CID itself did not stick for some reason and after radio flash rest of the part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin were empty as it was never written in SDCard as it never got chance beacuse it rebooted soon after it finished. Does anyone have any idea? How do I check if the security flag is off for the radio? At this point I am not even sure if it worked at all. I should have just called TMo and got the unlock code as its free.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TmpUsr:
Hmmm starting to think it was a mistake trying to do the gfree meth to begin with as it seems its POS meth. I try to revert back with "dd=/ of=/" command and **** just rebooted so I am not even sure if it reverted back. Forget reverting I am not sure it worked in first place begin with. Ill try reverting back to the newest radio which I used when I got this backup and see what happens.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TmpUsr:
UPDATE: Well since it was all epic fail and I didn't get to unlock the sim since it still said CID-T-MOB010 when after gfree should have been CID-11111111.

Now as I was reverting back I did notice few things which I am posting here so others can get clear idea. If the simunlock does not work for you and you trying to revert back make sure you use same settings.

1) Using AOSP2.3.4 I was unable to use gfree from terminal as it gave me eMMc fail files can't be found error.

2) So I reverted back to my stock rom (my clean unbolted backup).

3) I was able to successfully execute the gfree from terminal and part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin was created in SDCard.

4) As proof I went in HBoot and checked under system info the CID flag still remained CID-T-MOB010 when it should have been CID-11111111.

5) As it didn't work I ran it 2 more times to check if the CID flag would stick which it didn't. Which created 2 more part7backup's in SDCard.

6) Now thinking that it maybe radio related I reverted to stock radio from current new radio though bootloader using PD15IMG.zip radio update.

7) Again tried the gfree from terminal but this time soon after it was executed I got reboot when it finished. New part7backup was created but empty as it was never fully written. I tested it few times same result.

8) So I try to revert back to original state using the first original part7backup-xxxxxxxxx.bin file using dd if=/ of=/ command. Which gave me same result as it never finished and rebooted.

9) I tried it twice and gave me same result. So thinking this could just simply be protected block thus unable to write to I manually remounted the /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 as rw and then redid the dd if=/ of=/ and gave me same result.

10) Reverted back to the new radio(original radio) that I used when the part7backup was created and gave me same result.

11) Restored to AOSP2.3.4 backup I had and then redid the dd if=/ of=/ command again and this time it worked.

So IDK what happened but I was unable to get simunlock also not sure if the radio security was ever disabled as I couldn't verify the simlock. It maybe easy/safe for people to just request the unlock code from TMobile by giving your IEMI and they will send you in 2-3days in email.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
You could have just run gfree again with the option --CID 11111111. I've had to do that once and it worked just fine. The only way I know to check the security in the radio is with a script grankin wrote. PM him and ask, he'll probably give it to you with instructions.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TmpUsr:
:O someone responded, thank you. Thought people were just ignoring this as it was over their head. I ran each command myself with --CID 11111111. Along with --secu_flag off. After the first attempt where the CID didn't stick and showed as CID-T-MOB010. After the stock radio flash I was not able to do anything as after any gfree run it just rebooted and empty backup7part-xxxxxxxxx.bin was created. I mean only way to check if it worked other than CID was to push the stock bootloader and check if the HBoot still said S-OFF. Now I don't feel comfortable with a half rom and radio as it can mean death any min. Thank god I didn't or I would be really stuck now as it would be in bootloop. Ill be stuck with it unless I did the total PD15IMG rom/radio roll.
[EVO 4G Android Development] satur9ine:
Everyone on this forum is saying that the non-functioning brightness settings for Novatek screened EVOs using Gingersense roms can only be fixed when HTC releases an official gingerbread kernel.

Well, I'm not a dev and I'm not 100% sure what goes into tweaking a kernel. I do know that this forum has some EXTREMELY talented folks on it, though, so I'm throwing down the gauntlet. Are there any devs willing to dig in to the leaked gingersense kernel and attempt to resolve this issue?

Thanks is advance!
[EVO 4G Android Development] NewZJ:
This doesn't belong here you

Put it in q&a
[EVO 4G Android Development] blackroseMD1:
Hahahahaha, both the pictures in this thread are awesome.

To the OP, there's only so much that Devs can do, especially when it comes to the kernel. Right now they don't have a base to work off of, which is why we haven't seen any gingersense kernels yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BonkyMoon:
It really makes a lot of sense why none of the devs are working on this. The source for this kernel isn't available. They would have to either write and compile a working kernel from scratch, or try to reverse-engineer the current one. The amount of effort and time required to do either is enormous, and would likely take longer than the amount of time we have left to wait until an official release comes out (with the accompanying source).

[EVO 4G Android Development] dirkyd3rk:
Dumb question alert: So even with no source devs couldn't so called "lock" the brightness at a certain level for us nova screens. I know there's no adjusting in the rom but it would be sick if they could set the level without the source.

And we wonder how they got this tablet down to $400 :) Mine creaks on the upper right if I apply a little pressure (like if I hold it with one hand on that side), but it's not like it creaks enough to drive me crazy, or even drive me irritated. You sacrifice build quality for hitting that magic $400 price point, it is what it is.

I have quite a bit of creaking as well, along with a gap on the left-hand side of the screen. I'll probably swap mine out before my 30 days is up with Amazon, and when stock is more available. I'm hoping that's how it works out, anyways.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
And neither does light bleed, gaps, dust under the screen, or sharp edges, I guess :) Look I'm fine with some cut corners, it's what you have to expect when something seems to affordable too be true. I'm not saying that the Transformer is going to fall apart in your hands, but creaky build quality is usually a result of cutting corners.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Not everyone has lightbleed and even the iPad and iPad 2 had lightbleed issues, I doubt those were because of shoddy manufacturing.

Also the sharp edges are part of the design, I can't really relate to anyone complaining about the "sharp"corners since the angular bezel edge design really isn't that bad on your finger tips or hands.

Also my HTC hero has a dust spec under the screen, just because something isn't perfect in design doesn't mean it's shoddy manufacturing or cutting corners in manufacturing, it's just a flawed design.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Not sharp corners, sharp edges -- run your fingers along the back edge of the tablet and you'll see. Look, I don't care much about the build quality, it's satisfactory to me, but some of you are in denial :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
Not denial, my point is it's flawed design, not build quality.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
Sharp edges on plastic, enough to cut if you were the careless type, are not bad design, it's cutting corners, which is build quality. Exposed plastic like that would normally be dulled so as to not be so sharp, but leaving it raw like that is a cost-cutting move, and is a build-quality issue. So is light bleeding, screen dust, and creaking.

I can't poll every Transformer owner to see if they all have the same build quality issues, but I bet if a good number ran their fingers along the back edge to check for sharpness, applied pressure to the case to hear it creak, or checked for light bleeding, they'd have one, if not all three. Things to be expected during a first run, and definitely expected when you've undercut the competition by so much. My position is if those things bother you, return it. I'm keeping mine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donatom3:
First off light bleeding is a fault of the LCD manufacturer. LG was at fault for the bad iPad 2 screens. Apple used both LG and Samsung, and only the LG ones had the issue quite regularly.

I don't have any plastic edges on mine. My plastic backing definitely fits inside the aluminum frame. I cannot feel any sharp edges along my back, and I'm trying to be nit picky for the sake of your argument. I have a slight creek in one spot on the right edge, that is the only build quality issue I have of all, and it is slight. My suggestion if you see separation or your plastic back is not inside the frame RMA it to Asus, or return to the store. It could be as simple of a fix of them taking it apart and putting it back together with more care.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
I think the point is being missed here. I'm fine with the sharp edge -- hell, mine stays in the Asus case, I don't even feel it. The argument was whether or not build quality was compromised (and that includes parts from companies other than Asus, cost is cost), and I think it was. If you told me I could get a $400 tablet with an IPS screen, and I'd have to deal with a sharp edge and some creaking (I don't notice light bleed and I don't want to look for it because I don't want to notice it! :D), I'd jump all over it. No need to get defensive, in the end it's just a piece of consumer electronics.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killermojo:
It is a little surprising at how defensive this forum has gotten regarding build quality issues- they exist. There seem to be more quality issues with the Transformer over the iPad, it makes sense given the manufacturing process, maturity of device, and price. That's just how it is! :)

Most people can ignore a majority of the little nitpicky stuff, but you'll hear about it from those who can't. The argument of "this is the best android tablet" is true, but I imagine for some the best android can offer right now isn't good enough. Myself, I was sold on the Transformer until the stock issues held me up long enough to research the build quality issues. I'm going to wait for the android tablet market to mature a bit as these devices truly are nice-to-haves. Transformer 2 for me!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfin13:
In my opinion ... no. You're saving a good chunk of change, getting an AMAZING screen, and there's a chance your tablet, being the second (third?) batch will have all the QC kinks worked out. And even if it does creak, it's still an awesome tablet for the money. I'd have no problem recommending it to a friend.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIJBII:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jake21:
I guess I got lucky; the light bleed is annoying but not the worse I've seen; no creaks yet in my tablet and no sharp edges noticed.

When I purchased it i went cheap knowing the timeline for this tablet is at most 2 years and likely only 15 to 18 months. The technology is new and I know there will be something much better next year (better screen, much faster, probably more memory, thinner, better battery life, ...). It's just the nature of hte technology. Given that netbooks cost $200 one gotta believe that even at $400 the margins on these devices are very decent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungrylizard:
I only have creaking on my lower left corner, and it is hardly noticeable. Interestingly, this is the only area I experience light bleed. It is also hardly ever apparent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Seems a no brainer to save $200, get a better display and go with creaky. Or save $150, get USB host and no creaky with the A500. If you do not care about usb host, the Trans makes the Xoom seem way overpriced.
