[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
I don't know if this hasn't already been mentioned. I too have subpar data performance on Sprint versus others in my area.

I like cutting edge hardware. I will purchase the EVO 3D off contract. And watch to see if Verizon comes up with an equal or better. If they do, I know they are not under the thumb of Apple, and I will switch to Verizon and dump both the EVO 3D and Sprint.

That's my plan and I am sticking to it.
[HTC EVO 3D] ScrapMaker:
I was in SA for the weekend about 6 weeks ago and I could barely get a website to load. 4G was mandatory, and even then, it was slower than 3G typically is in Austin... which is atrocious...

I feel like an idiot when I ask someone if they saw a video, they say no, and I try to stream it for them. On 3G, typically it buffers for about a minute, then pauses after 5 seconds... repeats...

then of course a friend with a Samsung Capitvate opens up Youtube and starts streaming the same video, in HQ no less, and streams instantly and perfectly...

Sprint seems stretched really thin right now, and 4G signal is hard to acquire most of the time, and drains the device far too quickly. I remember when I got my Evo in June, I didn't even care about 4G... Everything streamed great over 3G. oh well...
[HTC EVO 3D] sdc177:
hmmm....I've never had any issues when I'm in SA. Typically hang around the Alamo Ranch area.
[HTC EVO 3D] adlzian:
See that's what I was thinking. I get the evo 3d....stick with it until I see a cool phone for verizon then leave. My wife has the samsung intercept which is crappy btw. She wants an iphone....sprint doesn't have it so it leaves me with at&t and verizon. I would just hate to leave and I get the ETFs and owe money. And im not a guy that doesn't care and just wont pay it
[HTC EVO 3D] adlzian:
I feel that way too! Im like "hey did u see the highlights to the game? Let me show u on my tricked out evo....hold on just a sec.....its loading hold on....ok ill just try later cuz its not working." Lol. Then here comes a guy with an iphone showing the guys. I've never heard a guy complain that verizon sucks.
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
it really seems to be some bad spots all over the city. culebra/1604 area sucks. but bandera/1604 is great which is funny since the sprint store is there as well lol.

i was down on the riverwalk a couple weekends ago, the speeds there were basically 0 i wanted to throw the damn phone in the river.

La Cantera area is bad. castroville is always fast lol. northstar mall is bad. im all over the city so i can prolly tell you where all the good and bad spots are.

there coverage is good but the towers are overloaded. come 4pm till about 11-midnight, my data speeds are so slow its worthless.
[HTC EVO 3D] adlzian:
Yeah I think uve helped me make my decision. Im just gonna get the evo 3d and when I see a good phone come out for verizon im switching.
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
thats what im doing, but the rep from Dan Heeses office just called and said network team is now saying June 7th the towers will be fixed :rolleyes:

its really sad to see how bad they have let the network get here.

my work phone is with verizon and ive never had a problem with data speeds or dropped calls no matter where i am in the city or outer areas.
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
My ETF from Sprint is $135 now. If Verizon is to release an EVO 3D, I suspect it would be the Christmas rush. That would leave six months left on my current Sprint contract. The ETF would be a bargain compared to that time frame of paying for a service that I can't stand.

My condolences for your wife wanting an iphone. There are not many tragedies worse than that.
[HTC EVO 3D] adlzian:
Yeah I've never used an apple product. Im about to be a supervisor at my job and all the other supervisors have an iphone....it would be pretty corny for me to get one too. But the wifey wants it for her
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr10:
New to the forum, not new to flashing.

I recently flashed Apex 6.4.1, loved it. The only thing I'm having a hard time with is the Bluetooth, I've tried enabling it from every menu imaginable with the same results. No Bluetooth. It doesn't even turn on. This made me think I had a bad flash, so I reflashed my modem, kernel and still, no bluetooth. So I then reflashed Apex and still, no bluetooth. I've been searching the forums and the apex thread with no avail, has anyone experienced this issue?

Modem: I9000UGKC1

Kernel: Talon 0.1.7

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
If you go through Talon' thread, there are some people who have had problems with BT, It seems that existz has figured it out and should be fixed soon. BTW just for knowledge can u let me know what exactly happens when you try to turn BT on? Also if you have anything else running/on at that time?

You may want to report these issues in ROM thread or PM me for better support.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr10:
Thanks for the speedy response, I'll have a look at the Talon thread and post some debugging information, etc.

For anyone else following this:

When I enable Bluetooth via any menu, app. It seemingly looks like it's attempting to turn Bluetooth on the icon in notifications gives me back a dull color of a fully turned on service (as if it's in the process of connecting), yet after 10 seconds or so, it will go back to Bluetooth being entirely off.

Hi, when I was at university I used Wifi File Explorer Pro to transfer files from my transformer to pc but now I'm home for the summer I cannot get it to work.

When I go to the ip address it provides my browser can't connect to it. I'm using Firefox on ubuntu 11.04 (The same as i've always used)

Anyone got any ideas how to fix the problem? Do i need to port forward anything?

[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
I have had a few 03 Evos, but just got my first 0004.

a few observations about 0004:

-battery lasts longer, even with stock and full bloatware installed. The first charge lasted 24 hours with a lot of web browsing! (my first few charges with the 0003 was getting maybe 6 hours.)

-I let the charge go dead, and fully recharging took around 1 hour! This is perhaps 3-4x faster than my 0003 handset takes to charge.

-The screen seems to be higher contrast, though this might be my imagination since i do not have the two in front of me for a direct comparison.
[EVO 4G General] ldc2335:
I disagree. My wife has 004 and battery life/charge is the same. As far as the screen, It does go brighter at max but colors are not as warm. Contrast is not as good. And I hate that it doesn't fade.

Power and volume buttons are taller as well. Which makes it easier to accidentally unlock it in your pocket.

The only thing "not" better about 003 is the issue with the gingerbread sense Roms which I'm sure will be fixed by time official update is out.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
I wonder if all 0004s have the same screen.

idc, how long do yours take to completely charge?

Also to accidentally unlock it you would have to push the button and slide the screen...I have not heard of this as an issue.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Not all 0004 evos have the nova screen ( 2 different panels), I've seen a few epsons. The nova panels have the brightness issues with GB leaked roms not 0003(Epson). The other evo is my household is white 0003 Epson screen and my whites look whiter while 0003 whites look pinkish or yellowish at times. I feel like overall my 0004 nova has way better color than the Epson panel; epsons just looks dull to me.
[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Is there way to tell which panel is present without going into the boot screen?

[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
I would make sure there isn't any cocaine stuck on the motherboard. Sounds like your evo is on crack.
[EVO 4G General] hooover:
I was wondering, after rooting did anyone lose functionality with their camera...

I seem to notice that it won't focus on multiple faces now and won't get as detailed in the shot as the first day I had it.

I'm running/

MikG-Sense: 2.1-v1.0

base: 2.15.00.05.02

kernel: 2.6.35.10gaa602b7

PRI: 2.15_003

I had these issues directly after rooting using Simple root
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkgod:
I seem to be having some problems with my back button. It works, but it seems much less responsive than the other buttons. Would this be a hardware issue or software controlling the buttons? I'm running NScollab .23 with netarchy 1.3.2 cfs kernel.
[Xperia Play General] magicriggs:
strangest thing, i confirm the update and it closes and thats it. It doesnt show a download in the status bar or anything. any ideas?
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Mine still says it is already upto date even though I know the 2.3.3 update is out for almost everyone else?!?
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
FK1983 do you have an o2 branded phone? (with o2 crap installed on/o2 boot up screen?) If so then you are probably waiting for o2 to ok the actual update as well as installing all their extra crap onto 2.3.3 before they let you update

Same probably for magicriggs and anyone else that has not recieved their updates yet. The update you are seeing will be the generic 2.3.3 update you have to wait for verizon to ok the update first then customise it with all the crap/restrictions they want on it.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
It's on Virgin Mobile, must be why?
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
It doesn't matter which network the phone is on. If you got it direct from virgin or it has the virgin boot up screen then its virgin "branded". Until virgin or any other network decides to ok the update (and make any modifications they want) unfortunately you will be waiting. Unless you unlock your boot then you can flash the generic 2.3.3 that people with unbranded phones got.

P.s i said o2 since the o2 logo is under your name ;)
[Xperia Play General] Flava0ne:
Would that be the same case with me? I originally got my XP from my carrier but I had already network unlocked it with a code that I purchased from Theunlock.ca and de-branded it with a generic R800i UK firmware where mines was originally a R800a.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
No this only applies to people with a branded phone and a locked bootloader. If you unlock your boot which you have done you can do as you did and flash the generic fw (without extra branded crap on just standard bloat) From now on you will just update using the fw posted here instead of waiting for rogers.
[Xperia Play General] Flava0ne:
Cool, thanks for clearing that up a bit! :)

But I didn't unlock my bootloader, I can't because it came from my carrier. What I unlocked was the network and now I can use another SIM card from a different carrier on it if I wanted to. But I guess it's still the same since I was able to flash it with a generic fw already.
[Xperia Play General] VaizardNL:
I had no issues with the updating itself.

But I noticed that the standard music player sometimes doesn't play sound at all. I first have to kill it with a program like 'Advanced Task Killer' and then it works again. Anyone else has this problem?
[Xperia Play General] Da22a:
My Unlocked XP can download the update but fails on the install, its attempts to install, resets, unpacked update, then attempts to update (icon on screen goes from two dots and openbox icon, to three dots and phone with arrow above) then screen goes blank, phone boots as normal (takes about 2-3mins) then warns that update was unsuccessful after pincode entry.

Thought it might due to lack of internal space, so cleared 80 megs on application space and still no luck.
[Xperia Play General] ritap:
Bricked after OTA update

My husband's Xperia play got bricked today after an OTA update. It had no customized software, just an unlocked bootloader.

Looks like this issue it's just affecting those ones with an unlocked one.
[Xperia Play General] Flava0ne:
I just checked for the update manually on my PLAY earlier today and it was able to find the update. But I'm not going to install it until you can root v2.3.3 on a locked bootloader.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
If you unlock your bootloader you cannot use SEUS or OTA to update your phone anymore. You will have to flash the lastest fw onto the phone. See here to 2.3.3 firmware http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097591 also if you flash the first one you can then flash the rooted 2.3.3 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098736 Same goes for Da22a since your XP is unlocked
[Xperia Play General] Flava0ne:
So still no way to root 2.3.3 on a locked bootloader yet, only with an unlocked bootloader at the moment? Because it's not possible for my to unlock my bootloader on my PLAY because it was originally from my carrier.
[Xperia Play General] ritap:
I see you're right and i wish i had my husband have a look here before even thinking about it.

The problem is: while SEUS prevents you from unintentionally doing that, which i regard as fair, OTA just bricks your phone without further notice.

We've taken it to SE for repair, which they should do for an amount of euros they still haven't notified us (you see, it's out of warranty). Easy money, then: tell people how to unlock their phones and then spread some code which bricks unlocked phones :rolleyes:.
[Xperia Play General] Dousan:
I don't think SE speculated in making money here. It's a more like a 'here you go' now you have control over your phone to do almost what you like. The main target here I think is devs and flashaholics and such. There's always a risk involved with unlocking your bl and changing the S-ON to S-Off and such things. Ofcause you loose your warranty otherwise every john/jane does would come back and reclaim a new device when they bricked there phone. This comes from a demand within the android community that this is an option.

Further more I don't think SE knew about this. The .img to flash is not comming from We but from this community so they can't be held responsible for putting out an OTA that bricks your phone cause of what people might flash onto there phones. I hope that they will make some kind of check in the software updater similar to SEUS in the future or the ones who make flasheble .imgs will be able to disable OTA in the .imgs to come or upload a new one for people to use.

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
Im not sure SE will repair your phone. I have read other people on here have sent it in for repair and got it back the same. Today a fix for bricked phones has come out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126354. I would suggest getting your phone back from SE and fixing it yourself. Since the above thread's fix is free (you could always donate to Bin4ry & Blagus, dont know who else helped?)

I also agree with Dousans comments. Below a quote from http://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/

Also not sure how long this has been posted on the site but se knows now and it working on a fix to stop it.
[Xperia Play General] ncaissie:
Rogers official one comes July 1st. (Canada Day)
[Xperia Play General] ritap:
You and Dousan may be right but indeed after unlocking the BL we didn't flash it; moreover, after that the phone has been working perfectly for more than a month, since the ota update of course: so it's their software which has bricked the phone, not us.

Moreover, it's true that we lost our warranty, and it's fair that those Johns/Janes won't get a new phone for free, but this doesn't allow then to spread around dangerous software and allowing free repair only to "warranty" customers.

I've already had a look at the fix described in this forum but it didn't fit, Blagus told me there was no solution, the payservers were down so i took the Play to SE...

Hi all!

I'm new to the Wp7 world and i'm very liking it :D

On my device I've got android before (hd2), and now Wp7, my question is about Youtube videos:

in pre-noDo update (I tested it like 4 months ago) I was able to watch youtube videos in browser, simply using the Microsoft youtube app, and setting my region in USA;

Now with NoDo, even using the USA location and region, and installed youtube app...Youtube videos embeded asks for flash (pre-Nodo will show a play button that calls the youtube app)

How can I fix this?

I searched already, all fixes refers to pre-NoDo OS and the only fix found is to set my region to USA (wich I already did)...

Any suggestions?
