They should atleast give us the option of not paying th$10 a month.

I thought 4g would have been out at least a year after the 4g phone came out.

Disappointing....

[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
Maybe so, but the op is right anyways. I have it in writing by 2 separate sprint techs that they would have it in my area by the end of 2010. Where is it, now halfway through 2011? No closer.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
blah blah blah

i have a ant uncles cousin brother 4 times removed that works for sprint that told me that 4g was going to be in my area launch day .... i think he was was yanking my chain ...
[EVO 4G General] trindy:
Got a little story to tell you about Sprint and this bogus "4G service fee".

My son had a Moment. The phone was locked up in a safe on an Army base where he wasn't going to be able to use it but once a week during the 6 months of his basic training so I cancelled the insurance. Apparently, they don't give special considerations to our military servicemen & women. Halfway through his training he gets hurt and sent home on a medical discharge. Now he is home and of course the phone gets broken. Since we aren't eligible for yearly upgrades anymore I had to reactivate my old Hero for him. I finish the activation on the webpage and it tells me there will be an additional 10.00 monthly fee for reactivating this phone. I called Sprint to find out why.

They tell me that this 10.00 is for premium data and applies to ALL new smartphones activated after April 1st. I told them that this isn't a NEW smartphone (it's actually a downgrade for him) and that it isn't NEW service. It didn't matter. I told the woman on the phone that when I activated my Evo I was told that 10.00 was for 4G service and the Hero isn't capable of 4G service. She told me that I'd been lied to. Her actual words were "I don't know why they told you that". She said that the additional 10.00 wasn't

ever

for 4G service, it's to keep my plan for that phone unlimited.

I argued about it. I told her that everything that kept me on Sprint was now gone and told them that I would not be renewing any of my contracts. She wished me luck on my upcoming Verizon service.

So yeah. Quit *****in about that 4G fee. That isn't what they're calling it anymore and according to the girl on the phone that night, that was never what it was for.

When I got my EVO a year ago I enjoyed 4G in Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh. I go to these cities once a month. In the last few months the signals have been weaker and drop out every few minutes. I have taken to switching back to 3G just to get constant data service. Sad
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Since the fee now applies to all smartphones, regardless of 4G or not, your argument doesn't hold up. It might have before (debatable), but not now.
[EVO 4G General] Amd4life:
All I know is that sprint's 4g is garbage lol, the 3G is great though

I'd I wasn't on a serop act I wouldn't even consider sprint at full rate,

The difference in data speed and the ability to actually use it while moving lol, between verizon, tmobile and spring is too stark
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
If you have a sero plan they do charge an additional $10 for 4G phones only, so in my case the argument does indeed hold up.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Okay so should I upgrade to the HTC Inspire, or shall I wait for a better phone? And if I'm going to wait, how long do you think it will be?

Heres a list of things I look for:

-Up to date FW

-Good support for the phone

-All around speedy phone

-Root access(Bootloader unlocked optional but welcomed)

-Good Build(physically)

What does XDA think?
[XPERIA X10 General] Bruce Lee:
Go for it. I heard its a great one. http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones...2_7-34468800.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody gave it a good review. that's my ultimate review site. lol I also heard the camera is awesome. I heard though it's 4g is a little iffy. But I would take it over the x10 any day if I had the money:p and upgrade:p. I hope you do pick this speedy and great phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] andddy:
mmm well the htc's are pretty much what your after regarding updates and build quality. its a good phone but much too big for my liking the x10 seems much more phone like and the inspire seems like a internet tablet imho.however new releases will be coming pretty soon so id wait abit and get one dirt cheap.if your after a top notch phone the galaxy s2 is a beaaast!
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Thanks guys, I was reading reviews and it looks like its the one! Also I heard the Atrix is not as good as advertised, many people took the inspire over tha atrix. Anyone played with an atrix lately?
[XPERIA X10 General] andddy:
yeah i liked it,not as bad as people make out,however motorola do appear to be abit poo with updates.me myself would much prefer a htc. my bros got the desire hd same as the inspire i thinks. cant go wrong with it cant say theres a big difference between that n the x10 though
[XPERIA X10 General] cruzin_cruzing:
I've got both, about your list:

-Runs stock HTC Sense Froyo 2.2 (Upgradeable through XDA, Inspire 4G as well as DHD forums)

-Great support of course (HTC)

-It's pretty fast, stock 1 GHz, but runs stable while overclocked at 1.6 GHz (Up to 1.97 GHz I believe) and also comes with 768 MB RAM

-Bootloader is not unlocked out of the box, but there is a simple PC application that can do it all for you (ROOT, Bootloader Unlock etc.)

-Pretty hefty phone, build is excellent, way better than the X10 in my opinion, battery cover is locked in there pretty good though

Don't forget you're also getting the latest custom/official builds. AOSP 2.3.4, latest CM nightlies, Sense 3.0, MIUI 1.4.xx and more.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Wow thanks for all your replies! Seems like I'll go over to bestbuy, they have the inspire for a free att upgrade! In case your wondering, I live in FL so this offer may not be available everywhere. But the inspire seems like an awesome phone, though its sad leaving the x10 forum family lol.
[XPERIA X10 General] xepter:
i had the x10 was looking for an upgrade and went for the atrix

while many people complain about motorola with the few bit of P-Roms available for the atrix i'm very satisfied with battery and performance it seems that NOTHING will slow this btch down xD plus gingerbread coming june/july

i know you said inspire but this is my two cents. ATRIX waaaaayyyyy better to me than x10 or inspire lol
[XPERIA X10 General] kantk20111:
I don't like HTC, because of the thousands of phones they have that are pretty much the same...I just get confused looking at them :P

But it does look like a good phone!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30000:
Ok, so I'm a fan of lidroid ROMs, but I also like other things as well. One of the things about them that concerns me is the fact that once flashed, you are using the GT-I9000 bootloader instead of the standard SGH-T959 bootloader. While everything works fine, I just wanted to point out that I can't get the old bootloader back, even when ODINing back to stock JFD through AIO Vibrant Toolbox. Does someone have the SGH-T959 bootloader, or does anyone know where I could find it?

The reason I need the old bootloader back (even though I personally like the GT-I9000 bootloader better) is because it causes CM7 or any variation of it to not be able to find the external SD card.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moped_Ryder:
Not sure but this may be what you need? Its the Sbl for T959. Originally to get folks into 3 button Recovery / download mode.

i flash the zip file i found oun the link using rom manager. after flashing reboot my phone and didnt went back on. i try to press the pwer button but nothing happen. help me ou please....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GTASouthPark:
I have the tar file on my computer at home and can upload it when I get back.

I did the same thing and here's what I found out:

There are 2 bootloaders. sbl.bin and boot.bin (?) (sbl = second boot loader). You need to flash both of your bootloaders at once or else it could permenantly brick your phone, where you can't get into recovery or downloading mode.

Also don't flash with rom manager it isn't safe, use odin.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 30000:
can I just un-RAR the .rar file that is listed in the post above, re-compress it as a .TAR file and flash it?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Unlockthatphone:
you have to get the codes from motorola so getting it free is unlikely. you can try callng your carrier.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] aselalee:
I can confirm that this works with firmware version 1.32.20

So you HAVE to be on 1.32.20 for this to work.

Assuming you know your way with adb etc...

1. Root your phone. (Try SuperOneClick root)

2. Download the attachment View attachment 899813

3. Extract the content to you phones sdcard (/sdcard/memdump.ko)

4. Run the following in the command promnt

5. Get root shell

6. Run the following command

7. Type #073887* in the dialer

8. type 12345678 and press unlock

9. Carrier lock will be gone.

found all this at http : // modmymobile .com and successfully unlocked a Cliq XT

Try this at your own risk. I take no responsibility.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marmotta:
I've have a look around the Aria forums, but haven't found exactly what I was looking for, so I thought I'd post and wait for a potential torrent of abuse instead:D.

I've got an AT&T Aria running HBOOT 1.02.0000 and Android 2.2.2, which I essentially want to unlock and de-brand. My workplace has an XTC Clip, which I've used to clear S58, but I haven't done a downgrade or flash before. I've done a bit of reading on installing FR008, but just wanted to clarify that these are the steps I should follow or if there are any I can skip given that I have an XTC Clip?

1. Create a gold card and place a [stock?] 2.1 ROM on it and rename LIBEIMG.ZIP

2. Flash ROM to HTC Aria

3. Install HBOOT

4. Install unrevoked3 to HTC Aria

5. "Install liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip from sdcard". Found instructions on this, but wanted to know if it could be done/if there are benefits in doing it at all with the XTC Clip?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
The simplest way is based on attn1's instructions in another thread which I've quoted below. This method does not require Unrevoked and as such does not require that you downgrade your HBOOT. This also does not require a gold card. You just need S-OFF from XTC Clip first and you can do this.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lollo.picchio:
Hi I have an Aria wich has just been rooted with the XTC clip and wich has CM7..my problem is that clockwork doesn't work anymore(I don't have access to the recovery) I'm trying to reflashing it using you method but I get:

writing 'zip'...

<bootloader> zip header checking...

<bootloader> zip info parsing....

FAILED <remote :24 parsing android-info fail>

what does it mean? is there anyother way I can flash CWM without having to do it through to recovery?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Make sure your phone says "S-OFF" in HBOOT. Also double check the MD5 sum of the zip file.

I love having a top of the range phone but haven't done much on it really...took a few videos/photos,downloaded some apps etc

Why did you buy this phone?

Also I've had signal issues and the phone shutting off when taking a photo...worries me a bit.
[HTC Sensation] OakNinja:
I don't own one myself (yet) but i know why I want one; Screen size and qHD resolution is great enough to be able to replace my iPad on my way to work and casual places like the grocery, its also as fast or faster than my iPad, and does load flash which makes it suitable for googling. Hopefully, running spotify in the background and use several mail accounts while tethering 3g connection to other units will be doable with this device!

In short, it's another great device that makes surfing the web even more available at any time.

Whenever you need power you'll be glad you have power :)

[myTouch 4G General] steamish:
Even though this is my first post, I read this forum several times weekly, and I have not seen the following discussed.

If you download the "Mobile Signal Widget" from the Market, it will show you when you are getting a 3G or 4G connection. It shows "H" when the 4G signal is active, and shows "3G" otherwise. The on-board signal meter does not. It just shows "H" for both 3G or 4G data.

If things work with your phone like they do with my phone, you will see that when no data is being sent or received, the widget always shows a 3G signal, even when in a strong 4G area, and never shows a 4G signal. If you are in a 4G area, the 4G signal shows in the signal widget only while data is being sent or received.

Please try the following test with the speed test app. Before running the speed test app, and if no other process of the phone is sending or receiving data, the signal widget will, as noted above, show a 3G signal. If you run the speed test app, and immediately after starting the actual speed test, while it is still sending and receiving data, you return to your home screen where the signal widget is placed (NOT by hitting the back key, which closes the speed test widget and stops the downloading process, but by hitting the home key, which allows the speed test widget to run in the background while you view the signal widget on your home screen), you will notice that the widget will show a 4G signal while the speed test app is processing.

However, when the speed test is finished, the signal widget will go back to showing a 3G signal within a few seconds of the speed test finishing its processing. You can see this by viewing the up and down arrows activated in the on-board signal app shown in the notification area. When data is being sent or received, the arrows show, but when the data is no longer being sent or received, the arrows disappear.

The same applies to other apps sending or receiving data.

I'm on my third phone, and this 3G/4G switching has always happened with all three phones I have had in my possession. Thus you can see that in a 4G area, when data being sent or received starts and stops, the phone switches back and forth between 3G and 4G all day long.

Since this has been the case with all three MyTouch 4G phones I have had, I have to conclude that this is the normal and expected circumstance as designed into the phone and the 3G/4G broadcasting system.

This may have something to do with the somewhat bad battery life, plus this has other possible ramifications. I'd like to hear what some of you think about this 3G/4G switching, and the possible ramifications.
[myTouch 4G General] lowandbehold:
Yes it is 100% normal...that's common knowledge around these parts...No need to be using 4G when not sending or receiving data.
[myTouch 4G General] darinmc:
from the way it's been explained around here hspa is a protocol for 3g that doesn't kick in until data is sent or received, there isn't any actual switching going on unless you're moving from edge to 3g. T-Mo was smart in only using an H on the stock ROM, imagine the questions and complaints coming from inexperienced users seeing their phone "dropping" H all the time. The phone has to be able to handle the protocol, so obviously the devs have taken advantage and included the capability of showing when the hspa kicks in, but really it's just an added touch. As long as I'm getting solid consistent speeds you can put a piece of bacon as my data icon for all i care. At least then I have a constant reminder of the most important food group.
[myTouch 4G General] TeeJay3800:
Is that how the stock ROM works? (it's been 6 months, so I can't recall) On the two custom ROMs I've run, if you're in a 4G/HSPA+ area the built-in data icon will show "3G" when no data is being used and switch to "H" when data is actively being sent or received.
[myTouch 4G General] steamish:
Yes, the stock signal widget does not differentiate between 3G and 4G. Both are shown as "H".
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
I have mobile signal widget and when my phone signal shows H my signal widget does too, when in 3G the widget shows 3G, when in E it shows E on my widget and so on.

So H being for both 4G and 3G is not always true.

I'll try to post screenies when it show other than H.
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
Are you on the unrooted stock ROM?
[myTouch 4G General] PD15IMG:
H means High Speed which is anything beyond the first 3G spec like UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+. When preferred network type is available in the area its used for default RX/TX. This is done to save battery as if you were to connect on 4G based service you would eat alot of battery compared to 3G. Based on stock or AOSP based rom you also will get more accurate reading as we know how stock always emulate more than there is in the area. so OP its normal behavior.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
As you can you see from my screenies, my phones signal reflects on my signal widget the same.

I'm on royal panache with latest radio.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
Well, that's why your case doesn't count. The OP was clearly talking about the STOCK ROM, which isn't your case. Most or all stock ROMs don't differentiate between UMTS and HSDPA and show a single indication for both, for a good reason - because most people don't know how it works, and showing them will only cause questions/complaints/confusion. This thread might be a good example, why.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
I read the op when I first saw this thread and now after reading your post and nowhere in the op he states his device is stock.
[myTouch 4G General] Jack_R1:
When you're right, you're right. He indeed doesn't state it. I guess that knowing the difference in behavior between stock and custom ROMs, I automatically assumed he did.
