[EVO 4G General] dragoniusFUZE:
So... my girlfriend is going to Trinidad for 2 and 1/2 weeks. I wanted to know what options do we have as far as making calls on our cell phones go?

We're trying to avoid data roaming and she has no access to wifi, so skype is definitely out of the picture... I know it's hard but I'm guessing we might just have to pick up the international plan with sprint or stick to calling cards right? :(
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
It seems they have cdma service there, so if she has a sprint or verizon phone, it will work. However it will be roaming. If you are going to be here, calling her phone wont charge you, but it will charge her for roaming. Not sure what sprint charges for roaming in that country, you will have to call and find out.

Also be aware, she will get charged per text, and per kb of data, which can really add up. Make sure she turns off 3g on her phone, to avoid that.
[EVO 4G General] dragoniusFUZE:
yeah, i plan on locking down her phone after she calls to say she's there safely. thanks for the reply, i'll call sprint and find out what their rates go for. thanks :)
[EVO 4G General] BigJPR:
Make sure to come back with your findings. Just curious since I will try to make it to Puerto Rico this year, eventhough I think Puerto Rico it won't be roaming since I can call for free to my father, I don't know if it will differ once I'm on the island.
[EVO 4G General] dragoniusFUZE:
No problem, she leaves this Sunday, as far as it goes, the rates in Trinidad are $1.19/min and $4/MB of data. I know for one, she'll use the phone to call me when she gets there, after that I hope she shuts it off. :)

Puerto Rico I do believe in within the line of U.S. territory so I don't think it should be a problem, but you could check at sprint.com/international for the rates if any.
[Motorola Droid 3] papi92:
Anyone go into best buy and buy the d3. I see its available online but all the stores i call say they're not available
[Motorola Droid 3] Funzy32:
Just got mine at the Verizon Store. Beautiful phone man. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] yyhd:
You switching from the Droid Charge to the D3, papi?

I might pick one up later down the line too. If you get one, post your impressions, likes, and dislikes. :D
[Motorola Droid 3] papi92:
Yeah I miss my keyboard lol
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
How much did it cost you? Is it $450 full retail in store? I keep seeing it listed different prices everywhere online and I've seen differences as much at $200.
[Motorola Droid 3] papi92:
Best buy is 645 verizon is 449?
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
Yeah, the price ranges are ridiculous.
[Motorola Droid 3] RaptorMD:
Best Buy is serious a ripoff game, they are trying to play up their buy back program which may be find if you plan to upgrade again at full retail in less than 6 months, but at their inflated retail prices is a joke. $200 premium over Verizon Wireless stores, no thank you.

I did love my Droid Charge, but I really do enjoy the new Droid3 and the keyboard. Blur is the just crap though and I desperately want the bloatware off, trying to figure out what launcher to use.
[Xoom General] nubsors:
Anyone know why the 3G Xooms did not receive the update to 3.2? It seems kind of surprising to me that the earliest adopters were not the first to receive the update.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
verizon are probably having to test and push it out is my guess
[Xoom General] nubsors:
Hmm good point.
[Xoom General] Brenardo:
i may be wrong... but I don't think VZW has a steak in the fire on this one.
[Xoom General] sirius b:
I thinking we will get it when we send in our xoom to get the 4g upgrade. They will probably want to do it all at once, though I could be wrong.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
How do you think it would be advantageous for them to do it during LTE upgrade?

Remember, many people will choose not to send in their Xooms.

Also, there's an existing infrastructure in place to handle the updates by MEID, over the air.

I'm not saying it won't happen your way, I'm just not able to think of any compelling reason to change the usual update method.
[Xoom General] sirius b:
My only reason I think this, is based on installing the LTE modem, flashing the software, configuring it and testing it to make sure it works. I could be wrong but that's my train of thought. Otherwise I'd assume we would be seeing the update already just like the before. Remember wifi deployed alongside 3g last time. I am just making an assumption so if my thought process is off please let me know :-)
[Xoom General] binglut9:
no they won't do that...we will get an ota and after update then you will be able to send it in
[Xoom General] sirius b:
I hope so, trust me I would hope that I am wrong on my comments.
[Xoom General] optic76:
I hope we dont have to wait for the modem upgrade. That being said; I had to wait 8 days for 3.1 here in Austin TX.

Would be nice if they sent the upgrade out on demand.
[Xoom General] sirius b:
Yea well don't take that it as an option, I was just speculating. I know nothing is worse then when people take speculation and run with it as truth.
[Xoom General] kmchiang:
According to their twitter acct - "U.S. Motorola XOOM users: Android 3.2 rolling out in phases for Wi-Fi only devices. Verizon users can expect rollout in the coming weeks."

So whatever "......in the coming weeks" equates to time but it sure don't sound like soon......
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
Unfortunately, "In the coming weeks" in Google land means 1-2 months.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
several weeks! :D
[Xoom General] iccy:
The worst is you guys are getting the 3.2 update, but me in little sweden havent even got the 3.1. And none sems to know when sweden will get the update. :(
[Xoom General] sirius b:
Somehow I knew this was going to happen.
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
only cause we are using the US wifi image

sadly very few people have a Moto 3.1 update (only Jap China so far?)
[Xoom General] xoombier:
suprised?

In Europ we didn't receive any update. And in the us they having 3.2 all ready. Even when we wanna root it& update it our self we can not do it. Becase there is no non us wifi/3g availabel 3.1 update. How suprised are we, after reading all that sweets and Nice in the USA. Hope that we gonna get itm ever. Would google know about Motorola's update mess.
[Xoom General] johnny0911:
I hate Verizon, they are so picky!!
[Xoom General] sirius b:
It wouldn't kill them to make a public announcement about why on Facebook or their own website. Instead we like leaving customers in the dark.
[Xoom General] OracleBlue:
I can see the venom now. If Verizon released it untested and it had bugs, many people would be complaining they weren't doing their job. I'd rather them test it and make sure it works than to release one with bugs they would have caught.
[Xoom General] Phylar:
It's not the carriers job to test it. The carriers job is to provide me a good signal with good bandwidth - that's it. They should not give a crap about what device or what software I'm running. Sadly, it's all F'd up in the US and they monkey with crap.

It's Google's job to test and release updates. Apple does all the testing and does the final call of iPhone releases - and all the phones on all carriers get the update. It's rediculous the situation we have.... there's no reason for it. Verizon is pure evil.
[Xoom General] tbayne:
I disagree, it would be highly irresponsible (to it's subscribers) for ANY carrier to NOT test the software that is running on devices that are attached to it's network. As AT&T and the iPhone has shown, the devices that connect to it can and do affect the performance of the network.
[Xoom General] Blade765:
Verizon shouldn't be playing a part in this at all. The 3g xoom is a google experience device. VZW doesn't handle the updates. Google does. Whenever moto provides it, that is.
[Xoom General] tbayne:
It appears that since you don't have your update no reasonable answer will suffice. It's Verizon's network, they should certainly be testing before rolling out ANY update to any device that connects to THEIR network. Yes the Xoom is a Google experience device, but neither Google nor Motorola are providing the 3g network are they?

Further if they network does experience issues after the update who are you going to complain to? Google, Motorola, or Verizon? Most likely the first call will be to your service provider... Verizon.

Finally, it only makes good business sense to test before rolling it out. If they catch a problem during testing it costs them 10% of what it would cost should that problem be found AFTER the update is rolled out. Why in the world wouldn't they test?

I can see it now, "Hey Verizon, we have this update for 1000s of devices on your network, we want you to roll it out without testing it. Just trust us, it works fine and wont cause any network issues".

"Critical thinking, it's skill. Learn it, Use it. Think before you post".
[Xoom General] Bob1040:
3G Xoom

Just got off the line with Moto tech support the said they would have 3.2 update in 2 weeks for 3G Xoom.Lets hope so.
[Xoom General] Yahmon:
If I had a nickle...
[Xoom General] green_link:
and i i had a nickel for every time moto canada said something about the xoom 3.1 update i'd have.........10 cents
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Lmao @ "if i had a nickel "
[Xoom General] Blade765:
Wow...such a shame. You can't even throw your two cents into the ring without insulting people like a p***k. Tell me, who handles updates for the nexus line? Here's a hint, its not TMo.
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
The owners of the network which has to carry multi-megabyte updates certainly is going to QA the update.

Verizon is also the first line of support for the Xoom. The Xoom being a G.E.D. doesn't mean Google handles primary support. (Hint: there's a Verizon support forum/page for the GED Xoom. No Google support page exists.)

This guarantees that any updates will be put through QA by Verizon in addition to Google's QA.

It's a partnership.
[Xoom General] Phylar:
The iPhone showed that the carrier's expectation of average user bandwidth was just off. People only had blackberries and windows mobile phones where browsing was torture. email is near 0 bandwidth compared to browsing, streaming music, etc.

Also you don't understand the basic nature of the internet. I tether my AT&T phone so I can use my tablet. I can also use Backtrack 5 over it, write an app to do DoS attacks, etc. You can't control what software people use, but you can control traffic that goes over it if you see hostile activity, abuse, etc. ISPs have been doing this for years as PCs can run any software. It's no different just because it's wireless and not wired.
[Xoom General] tbayne:
I am pretty sure I understand the internet just fine. I also know that a cellular provider's network is NOT the internet. It may provide a link to it, but it is NOT, in any way, the internet. Please don't confuse the term 'network' in this discussion to mean the same thing as internet. To make this point clearly: Without the use of some intermediary service (Google Voice for example) try to call a phone number using a PC connected to the internet. They are separate things.
[Xoom General] kosenn:
I just bought a Xoom wifi a week ago. As soon as I got it set up there was an update for 3.2 available. I don't know why there is a delay for 3g models.
[Xoom General] Zac95:
Because they're optimizing 3.2 for lte. Its not as simple as slapping new hardware in and bam lte, currently there isn't even a 4g icon built into 3.2

Last I heard they were having issue with xoom lte on the software side, and now the lte upgrade is pushed into September

On a side note, I have the wifi xoom, and 3.2 sucks. I'm having invisible Widgets, like they're there and I can't see them, re boots, and a few other odd issues, the zoom feature is lame in my opinion, just makes everything blurry and so far the only way I can even look at my SD card is through a file manager, and it doesn't even show pics from SD in gallery

You aren't missing much, honestly I'm missing 3.1
[Xoom General] ZanshinG1:
The issue was firmware, not kernel or OS level.

I'm p. sure the drivers and framework stuff has been stable for months.
[Xoom General] ethion:
any updates on if 3.2 will be released on the 3g Xoom anytime soon... Thought this was a reference google device and would get updates fast but it looks like Asus is gonna beat them with 3.2 updates tomorrow.
[Xoom General] Earthbrain:
Amazing!!!!

The flag ship 3G Xoom from Verizon is not getting the 3.2 upgrade but the Asus Transformer will get the 3.2 upgrade tomorrow.

So much for being an early adopter.
[Xoom General] kurttrail:
To be fair, didn't US WiFi Xooms get 3.2 already?

So if you compare apples to apples, the comparable Xoom did get 3.2 before the Trannie.

My complaint would be one of consistency. The US 3g/vaporware 4g Xoom got 3.1 first, as should be, since it was released first, but with 3.2, US wifi Xooms get first.

[Xoom General] herwarth:
if you want 3.2 on 3g xoom, install tiamat! works good! also on eur xoom.

one problem for me was batery life! from 3 days standby to 1! day on a charge.

so went back to tiamat 3.1

I keep hitting "Check Now" every hour or so and nothing yet... If I had to guess, based on my totally uninformed opinion... I'd guess early next week at this point. Hope I'm wrong!
[Xoom General] ocdtrekkie:
I want to point out, that Motorola has pushed out original Droid phased releases at Sunday at 3 AM before. So don't be shocked if it comes during the weekend.
[Xoom General] SectionUT:
This was not originally communicated but it was pushed to 10k Verizon xooms on 8/3. We are currently in the "soak period". Push will continue tomorrow night at midnight. Hopefully we will be able to pull the update via the check now button but we'll see. Usually they only do a certain amount each day too.

OTA Update not work with me. My Brazilian Xoom uses a modified rom-based Verizon. Does anyone have a tip for applying the update without using Verizon's OTA Update? Motorola Brazil is a shame. We do not have updated to version 3.1. Brazilian consumers are left Motorola. Motorola never again.

I would like to try 2.x.x but, according to internals, my pre + would still be registered as a 1.4.5 so i couldnt download apps for 2.x.x unless they were homebrew.

you can get sone information out of the original website! project-voodoo.com

voodoo is made by supercurio amd this a very talented guy, so try the tweaks and choose what you like! to use voodoo you need a kernel that support it (like netarchy or trinity) and the voodoo control app from the market"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Or you could buy his paid App which you can continue using the stock kernel if you like. Much easier if you flash a kernel with support though. Using the kernel that supports it and free App works well.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No. Voodoo is not designed to save battery life. It only makes sound and color (SAMOLED) better. But flashing a kernel does help you save battery.

I use Netarchy's 1.3.7-CFS Kernel. Use that with Proton Voltage Control and undervolt with suggested (-20 across board) and you'll conserve some battery by doing that.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheesiepoof:
Is there any advantage to using a kernel with voodoo built in vs. stock kernel w/ root? eg. battery life, performance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jungbum:
Well, most custom kernels will yield better battery life and performance than stock kernel based on how you set up your device.

For example, if you overclock, you would obviously get lesser battery life but better performance. But you can also underclock and tweak the voltages in order to get better battery life.

You just have to play with the setting - you may actually find that you will get both battery life and performance improvement with right setting.

With Voodoo color, you get to modify screen RGB colors to your flavor. You can try out some of the RGB values on the link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002090

Voodoo sound modifies the built-in sound codec and makes your Nexus a great MP3 player!

However, you can't modify any setting with stock kernel.

You won't regret it. Go for it :D
