[Epic 4G General] crazynotion:
I would say your speeds of 1200 to 1500 down should be about average for 3g (I'm in ohio).

However network strength is a tricky subject as 9000 things can be going on at any given time. But I can not speak for your market. Sometimes sprint has the best tower alignment in an area, sometimes t-mobile, verizon, and I guess in theory at&t.

Honestly it sounds like you have 2 separate issues going on. The 3g bouncing around like that is not normal and sounds like something is going on.

Your house however sounds like you just have crappy coverage.
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
that is what I am also thinking, Daj don't put 100% on the 3g coverage map it is a joke and the 4g coverage map is even more of a joke like a hit and miss. I been with Sprint 13 yrs so I am already a pro on the areas that have 3g coverage and the limits/cut off signal level down here in S. Tx :D
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
I get 5-6 bars at work and depending on the time of day can get 400kbps, to 1.7mbps on 3G. I cannot really complain about the speeds I get...

At home though, I get bad coverage. Called Sprint and complained and they sent me an Airave free of charge. Now I get great speeds at home.
[Epic 4G General] DotMpeg:
How much did u need to tell sprint to get that?
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
When I had sprint for the past 10 years, signal at my house was terrible. In the past year, signal was drastically improved. T mobile has terrible signal at my house even now. It varies but sounds like you need an airave.
[Epic 4G General] Dajinn:
as retarded as this might sound i don't really want to go the airwave route. I just might just return the phone and get a g2. the airwave sounds like a half baked fix; ive NEVER talked to anyone in my life whos needed some sort of external apparatus(in this case itd be like having a hearing aide)to help them with their cell service and quite frankly, where i'm at, there really should be no excuse for the low signal.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Count your lucky stars... at work with full signal I get 50 kilobits down. Sometimes the speedtest won't even run. Halfway home this evening I was next to a tower with full signal again. 29 kilobits down / 90 kilobits up! WOOHOO!! Full 3G signal.

I roam on Verizon 3G quite a bit at work due to the slow speeds ;)
[Epic 4G General] mi7chy:
Been a Sprint customer for over a decade and finally canceled service today due to having to put up with painfully slow 3G and spotty to no 4G coverage as compared to my new Verizon 4G LTE phone. Been hanging on hoping for improvement but it's wishful thinking.
[Epic 4G General] lambofgod13:
If you update your prl and profile once a month to stay current your 3G should be fine. But thrn again some areas just have bad coverage.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
you can get tmobile family plan with 5 phones all with 200mb 4g for about 190 with university discount (google). I'm currently paying $270 for 5 phones with sprint w/ my university discount! i know its a little off topic but just throwing it out there..

When UnRevoked was going through its procedure I got the Message

" Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted Try again"

So I ran Unrevoked again did not touch anything but same message again.

What should I do Chris
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
Maybe it's the USB cable? Can you transfer files from PC to phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evil_Cid:
Have you enabled USB debugging before rooting?

PS: And when did you buy your phone?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidz3r0:
I would like to know how do I get back to Bionix or something more usable? I flashed CM7 not knowing it wasn't for everyday use and I couldn't get the Google Apps installed so how would I get back to another ROM? I didn't back up my old ROM.....I know I fudged up haha.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
Odin back to jfd and only jfd and you should be good to go.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidz3r0:
is this guide reliable to flash back to stock?

http://martint.net/2010/how-to-use-odin-to-go-back-to-stock-jfd-2/

just wanna make sure before I do anymore flashing lol

EDIT: Also would that mean I have to get the drivers for windows 7? since im on cm7?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfranklin1986:
back to stock guide driver info is in the thread but I had to install mini kies to get my phone recognized in download mode....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magovit:
a) no cable plugged,

b) take battery off,

c) put it back

d) press and keep pressed vol up and down

e) open odin

f) plug the mini-usb cable pc on phone and wait to it self turn on ( don't press power )

g) unpress vol up and down

now use odin to restore a original rom. :)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tianello:
First time posting after months of following all the great how-to guides on here, this is an awesome community and I'm hoping someone can help me.

I used this guide to set up dual boot so I could run rooted stock 1.2 and Divine_Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid RC1 SDK port. Everything about it works perfectly, I'm able to boot each of them without any issues, I just can't get my SD card working in HC. I'd really like to use Honeycomb as my daily driver, but the biggest thing preventing me from keeping HC installed is my inability to get my SD card mounted. I tried replacing my uRamdisk file with racks modified one, both by mounting /system and incorporating it into a new zipped ROM file, and neither of these methods work. I'm pretty sure it's because of my dual boot setup, but I don't know how to go about rectifying it. Is it possible to get it working? Or does the fact that I'm dual booting make it difficult/impossible to mount my SD card?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
Are you running HC on primary or secondary boot?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tianello:
Primary boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
You shouldn't be mounting system. You should be mounting /boot. Well, you could use Samuelhalffs app to mount the boot partition to your PC and then just copy over the new uRamdisk. Make sure you back up the previous just in case.

NookColorUMS

-Racks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tianello:
Whoops, I misspoke, I meant to say boot instead of system. I'm using Root Explorer, copying your version of uRamdisk, mounting /boot (assuming / is boot) and pasting/replacing the original uRamdisk. It copies just fine, replaces the original, until I restart my Nook, then when I look in /boot it somehow replaces itself with the original again. Not sure why.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecoolestcow:
Hi all,

Tried returning to stock 2.1 using Odin v1.0 One-click. I had Perception II Beta 3 installed (based on JVB). Every time I try to flash it, Odin freezes on factoryfs.rfs and the phone's screen goes completely red (though one time it went pink).

Any ideas? Am I using the wrong Odin? Am I screwed?

Thanks,

thecoolestcow
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecoolestcow:
Whew, got it. I re-downloaded Odin, still no luck. Then I tried a different USB cable and it worked! Hooray!

As a note, I was getting a variety of different colors, and I had to get into Download mode accordingly:

Remove battery, sim, external SD

Open ODIN

Plug in USB

Hold down volume up + volume down while inserting the battery

Keep trying to flash if you get the same problem I had!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twoam:
Are you using 2.1 with the three button fix baked on? That one will not work.

Need to flash using original 2.1 which will give you the correct boot loaders.

Only thing I could think of.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
If he was using the 3 button fix it would be a brick. No colored screens of any type nothing. Dead. Gone.

Thee problem was a bad connection like he said, swapping cables and/or ports usually solves those issues unless the usb port on the phone is bad.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjangles:
thanks guys. my power went out while going to stock from 2.3.3, it wouldn't even turn on.

[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
It looks like most Retailers are accepting trade ins on most electronics. This could help out with the purchase of your non upgrade purchase or make your upgrade almost free! I also looked and radioShack, Best Buy, Ebay instant sale, and Amazon below you will see the current (as of 5/23) trade in values.

-----------

best buy offers $132 on a gift card. http://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/

------------

Radio shack currently offers $179 Gift Card, for a used EVO 4G in great condition, $155 in good condition. Radio Shack Trade And Save

------------

Ebay has a instant trade value if $223 Cash PayPAL required http://green.ebay.com/instantsale/

------------

Amazon has a trade in of up to $114 currently, and they just give you a girft card. Amazon Trade In Program

------------

Sprint offers $150 credit on your bill for the EVO 4G Sprint Buy Back Program
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Looks like you have to mail it in to Best Buy for the gift card which says it takes 7-14 days after receiving the item. If you were able to do it in store that would be cool and I would probabaly think about doing it depending the the 3d price.

Anybody know if it can be done it store?
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
there is a drop down near the bottom of the page that lists states, find your state then select your city, It turns out the bestbuy I pre-ordered at is a trade in center.
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
did a little shopping around and it appears that radio shack is offering $179 trade in for the evo 4g in excellent condition, $155 for good condition, and ebay has a instant sale program where $188 for a evo in great condition.

Im going to pre-order at the shack today because they actually know what they are doing when it comes to account management. the best buy pre order I was told is refundable. but either way I will be selling my evo using one of these programs.
[HTC EVO 3D] st0921:
Plus sales tax on full price... at least where I live.
[HTC EVO 3D] rfs830:
Im going to be doing the same thing. I did that with my pre when I got the evo. The thing is once the evo 3d is out evo 4g prices will drop on ebay. I know I can get a bit more like 180 for the evo but it just easy to trade it in at best by for 150 and get a new phone for 50 bucks. cant beat that. I only paid 40 bucks for my evo so either way a new phone for 50 bucks is great.
[HTC EVO 3D] Elganja:
Amazon does trade-in's now too:

EVO 4G trade-in

currently up to 209 bucks... i'm sure it will drop over time though... I know best buy's trade in was 175 bucks a week or so ago
[HTC EVO 3D] Ruki_Uki:
Do you guys really think price will be $199? Im thinking $149
[HTC EVO 3D] Ranoko:
I think its going to be 199 and sprint gives you 149.99 for the evo right now :) not sure what it will be when evo 3d comes out though
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
So i went into my local Radio Shack and asked about the trade in program and the guy said yes "we do participate in the program but honestly why would you want to do that, Ill give you $200 for the phone right now" he looked at the phone and determined that it was in the good quality bracket. and would be able to give me $155 in store credit. he said to get the $177 it cant show any wear at all. and mine shows wear by the hdmi/charge ports. other than that its been in an otterbox.

Sprint just gives you a $150 credit on your bill. Im not sure if you can put the new phone on your bill.

also anyone know If I can use my %25 employee discount on new equipment purchase?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Can't use the discount for phone purchases.

The last couple of times I ordered through telesales they billed me Sprint account. Not sure if you need to meet a certain criteria for that though.
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
I wonder if RS is going to reduce their trade in value to $100 like it says in that "leaked" ad, from the current $179 trade in value. If so I might go in a day or 2 early and get the $179 on the gift card and then go in the next day and purchase the evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattfmartin:
Does sprint have it where you can make payments, if you buy it at full price?
[HTC EVO 3D] scotbot:
I have been told that if you order over the phone, You can have the phone billed to your account. And I have heard that it could be split into 4 billing cycles. but I would call to make sure.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanjsrik:
I got a flyer in the mail yesterday. Apparently they're touting a $1 increase in Asurion and insurance from $7/month to $8/month as a benefit?

The terms change like this as well:

3x rather than 2x insurance swap (if they approve)

Anyone else seen the flyer?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rugedraw:
The sent one to my girl yesterday. It was actually very comical. They tried to embellish the increase by saying that now select phones will have an app that allows you to trace and/or lock out a lost phone, erase contacts, etc. Things that we can already do with apps that are available on the market.

Then, if you look on the bottom right, they specify all the things covered in TEP and the words (no change) appear under each category.

In other words: No additional coverage or benefits, deductibles remain the same, but the price increases by a dollar. Sprint basically tried to present you a turd in gift wrapping paper with that flyer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DroidHead225:
I read it like, this is comedy

sent from my evo, *****!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mitalis:
Can one of your take a picture of the flyer and post it? I haven't seen it yet.

Much appreciated.

[EVO 4G Accessories] IamLugo:
Here u go...

Sent with my fingers...
[EVO 4G Accessories] GrimReaper24:
Lol I got one of those flyers too. I also had them send me two texts telling me about that app your talking about didn't use it tho or install it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] MedicStuder:
not that i am looking to leave sprint but i am curious, does this constatute a chage in contract? I know it is an add on, but it seems they really push it on people and you could he screwed without it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OstrichSak:
We got it to and don't even have the insurance.

No because the insurance is voluntary and can be canceled at any time. It doesn't affect your actual contract for service one way or the other.
[EVO 4G Accessories] kellybrf:
theres already a thread for this, and it appears that asurion is raising their price across the board (they provide the insurance for all the carriers.) it makes sense, with more and more people going towards smartphones their replacement costs have to be going up.
[Xoom General] mobilehavoc:
This was a bungled update/rollout. I now have HC 3.1 but no way to use the Google Music feature that's part of the update. Why wouldn't they just automatically allow anyone running HC 3.1 to use it? Seems bizarre.

I requested an invite right after the event and got nothing yet. I go to the site and it says I've already requested one. Not sure what the hell is going on with Google these days.
[Xoom General] el_bori1:
I haven't received anything either
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Nothing here
[Xoom General] Ruiner.NIN:
Same here, requested the day of the Music beta announcement. No invites received to date.

I agree and its pretty lame. Why not roll it out to us on HC 3.1 ... it only makes sense.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
No invite here, either. Signed up on announce.

did'nt request it , got an invite today !

uploading now , we'll see how it is . ..
[Xoom General] neomorphix:
Still no invite for me. However I’m doing well with an Ampache installation on my server and Amazon cloud player so I am not real anxious about getting google music. Although when it does come out of beta I may migrate my collection. I will have to see how it stacks up against the competition.
[Xoom General] hardcorecn:
didn't request either...

but received the invitation just now...

that's really a surprise..:cool:

but...

well, I am a UK XOOM wifi user flashed the US rom
[Xoom General] neomorphix:
Just got mine!

It looks like I need to download an app to upload music. I'm at work so i can not tell if they have a linux version or not. I run Debian at home and I know wine should run it if needed. But I dont want to go that route. So can any linux users tell me if its possible to get music uploaded without the windows app?
[Xoom General] tinpusher:
Only Windows and Mac.
[Xoom General] tinpusher:
I got one to my main gmail account and just got two more invites to my separate Google Apps accounts. Not sure how I would use those, because my music collection is just under 20,000 songs.

Also, I didn't request an invite to those Google Apps accounts, the invite just showed up. It was addressed "Hello Motorola XOOM user" so my Apps accounts must be linked to my main gmail account in some way.
[Xoom General] neomorphix:
Ok. Thanks. looks like for now I will abandon google music. Google has played well with linux in the past so I might be able to come back at some point in the near future.
[Xoom General] KidJoe:
I got an invite on my "primary" Gmail account (used on my Xoom and TB) yesterday and set it up. I did sign up at the page when it was posted on one of the blog sites the other day/week? (when was Google IO again??)

Today, I got an invite on my "secondary" gmail account (also used on my Xoom and TB), which I didn't sign up for.

For some reason, SYNC is failing on my Xoom and TB. And not all songs/albums in my Google Music space don't show on my Xoom and TB.
[Xoom General] cleblanc92:
Nothing yet (wifi)
[Xoom General] thor17:
I requested mine the day of I/O. I have a wifi only model and just received my invitation. Not sure if it was due to me requesting an invite or owning a xoom or both. The email states they are inviting me due to having a verizon xoom. I find that humorous, since I have the motorola wifi only model.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
I just got my invite. I am enjoying the free music. Pretty sweet so far.
[Xoom General] Zargon335:

I got mine yesterday, canadian wifi xoom with a Verizon build.

I would have thought I needed a US proxy but nope.

Looking not too shabby be nice once it's full of my music :)
[Xoom General] Giorgist:
Any word on it being available outside US (Is canada outside the US ... :P )

Also once you get an invite, and setup your music, I assume it would work outside the US, so what is the point of restricting ?

Maybe I shoudl setup a gmail account pretending to be located in the US ... and wait ?
[Xoom General] eyecon82:
wifi USA only and no invite yet...requested same day it was announced
[Xoom General] keitht:
I got mine yesterday and have been using Music Manager to upload my library from my PC (close to 3000 songs). It has been uploading for 20 hours and about 1/2 way done. Is there no limit on disk space? Crazy I can upload all of this for free.
[Xoom General] Aberrix:

Good for me. :-)
