#1. Pageplus needs to add the Phone's ESN to their network, otherwise all that you're doing is in vain.

#2. You need a full Licensed version of CDMA, so 'assuming' you paid 100$ for that copy of CDMA WS 3.7, it is faulty. Even the cracked versions of CDMA aren't cracked at 3.7, it's like 2.6 or around there.

#3 If you downloaded the Trial version of 3.7, that's why it won't work, there's a high chance its on a different com port.. though this I can't vouch for, seeing to that Odin for me uses one of the first com ports on my laptop.

#4. Try CDMA WS on a different laptop.

P.S. : Having faith you get it to work, you'll want to change your MSL code to: 000000

[HTC Sensation] c19932:
Hello,

I want to buy a sensation case but it does not have the proper hole cutcuts on the back. The only cutouts the case has are the camera and the speaker.

if any of you are using a case with only these 2 cutouts, could you tell me if phone signal, 4g signal, mic, speaker, etc or anything else are affected?

greatly appreciated
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
i havent had a problem with them after on week of use, but just to be safe, i drilled holes where they should be :P
[HTC Sensation] c19932:
thanks for the reply, but if you drilled the holes then your case does have all the cutouts
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
it does now, but for the first week, i didnt have any issues...

i just did it cuz i was bored, and more as a precaution just in case...

mind you i never used the gps or wifi w/o holes...but i bought the 2 pack, one black (drilled), one opaque white (stock)...if you want, i can check the performance, but as it stands, there was no difference...

ive heard that all cases w/o holes are going to be discontinued, but that may have just been verbal diareah in the sensation thread :/
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
The only sensible answer is it depends on the case material. For any given case the only way to know is to try it. If it works then fine. If not, then drill holes if they're covered.

HTC says the holes should be uncovered, but none of us know exactly why. For a mic it's pretty obvious. For the others who knows. But drilling is easy and cheap, so for most cases a fix shouldn't be a problem.
[HTC Sensation] isharma:
Does anyone know what the holes actually do?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I haven't seen a diagram showing the function of each one. Some are mics, either for input or noise cancellation. Others are likely antenna related. It's hard to imagine that HTC would go to the trouble of putting them there if they don't serve a useful purpose. Covering some or all may not cause big problems, but it's not likely to help either.
[HTC Sensation] govtcheez:
I have the official Tmobile silicone case and it doesn't have any cutout for the little holes...and it seems to be just fine.
[HTC Sensation] moto211:
I think I have the same case. Except mine does have one hole cutout above the camera.

Here's my observations that I posted in another thread:
[HTC Sensation] ujkadusko:
The hole above camera is noise cancelling mic,that is the only important hole,so I had to drill it on my Case Mate Tough.They were the first proper company with hard case for Sensation,so they rushed a little bit with design,others like Otterbox and Seidio are making cases with that hole only.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Guys, EM radiation passes through silicone and plastic. There should be no need for holes on those materials. If you had a case made of metal, then you would need MORE than a hole anyways as EM radiation doesnt radiate in rays...Go into your bathroom and close the door. Plenty of material to be in the way of the EM radiation that is your signal. Still can make calls?

Also, there is no noise cancellation mic. There is no noise cancellation at all on this phone. The second mic is for stereo sound recording. I know alot of you wont agree, but looking up the specs, I found no mention of noise cancellation. (Only stereo sound recording).

If there were noise cancellation, people wouldnt complain about me being in the wind while talking to them. ;-)

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Utking:
Hmm if i'm not mistaken, two of them are for ventilation, one for noise cancellation mic, and the rest are for the antennas, the one for antennas has no use though, its only there to fasten the connectors.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
I'm a bit confused. Most of us who are rooted are using NVflash to revert to stock recovery, then using LG's method to upgrade to GB for the baseband, only to nandroid back to our rooted rom of choice.

Since the OTA is being sent out, can't we just use the captured OTA zip file to update our baseband without having to mess with the LG software? I run win 7 64bit and the LG software has never worked right for me.

Is the newest OTA not rootable through superoneclick or is something else keeping us from updating the baseband that way?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I'm curious about this too. If an OTA update can update the baseband, I would think CWM would be able to...

Does Tegra2 have a "deeper recovery" mode, like fastboot/hboot on the G1/Magic?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Basebands are not included with roms in the dev section.

You must return to stock, do the LG upgrade/OTA upgrade, reinstall NVflash and install a rooted rom.

I wish they would release the old and new basebands in a zip, but no one has. Some guy known as "the dude" said he would but he never came back.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] doubleohwhatever:
Possibly a dumb question but... does the new baseband bring any improvement that's worth the hassle (back to stock, etc)?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
My experience has been much faster GPS lock and slightly faster download speeds. That is all I have noticed. Signal strength seems about the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Scyth3:
Much improved GPS. Seems like data is a tad faster.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] propain4444:
Same for me... Plus, i was running the OTA GB release with the old baseband for awhile before i updated the baseband. I'm getting better battery life on the new baseband now.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] footer:
Hi,

I had to change my Transformer because of an issue. Before getting the new one I made a nandroid backup from the old one. Now, I restored this backup to the new one and saw that the Wifi MAC address is the one from old one.

I assume, the nandroid backup has restored old Transformer's mac address to the new one.

How can I revert back to the original MAC address of this new Transformer ?

Btw, I don't know the MAC address of the new Transformer. How can I find it ?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
I was able to change the mac address by modifying mac line in /data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt

but I don't know how to find the original mac address.

If I remove the mac line from this file, it generates a mac address but I don't know if that's the correct original one.

any idea ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
I need help about how to find the original mac address. I've also done a factory reset.

It now shows a new mac address starting with 14:DA:E9 but when I search this on MAC-VENDOR search, I can't see any vendor. So is it fake ? or random ?

How can I find the real mac address of my device ? Shouldn't it be available on the box or the device itself ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
any ideas on this ?

how can I get my Transformer's original mac address ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Rumor has it that if you delete the line that starts 'macaddr = ' , and whatever trash follows (the MAC) , that a reboot will restore the original.

It doesn't really make much sense since organizations, (e.g. ASUS) are assigned a 'small range' of MACs by whoever is the bureau for those things now (always was Xerox in the past), and changing for example a MAC to 00:00:00:00:00:00 will be out of that range. How do you know the allowable range, or is this just to spoof someone else's to get an IP from their router? Changing the MAC has big implications just because you'll never pick one out of a hat that isn't already being used by anyone and that'll mean troubles on the net.

Actually, I don't care, but to MASK it for awhile, you should be able to do what you did, and to get it back, you "should" be able to use 'wordpad' or whatever format that nvram.txt file is in and change it back. I used 'od -h /data/misc/wifi/nvram.txt' to figure out that the last line was the MAC.

By the way, you probably now this, but to really check the MAC, probably the best way is to use (from term or adb shell):

#ifconfig wlan0

and look at it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
thanks for your comments.

if I remove mac line from nvram.txt, I get a totaslly different mac address.

And when I search that, it says "Murata Company"

with the older MAC, mac search finds "AsusTek"
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
Well, at least the nvram.txt file does something. The ASUS (well, how up to date could this be?) range for their wifi devices, one of their suppliers is 'Murata', is this:

f4-6d-04-ZZ-XX-YY. (well, for my transformer anyway)

Murata and ASUS appear to have a bunch of overlapping ranges. Maybe since ASUS Transformer has a Murata chip onboard, they also have some dealings regarding MACs. I have no idea really, but is having a Murata MAC (as said by who-knows-how-reliable web-search), a problem? Just curious.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
1. Why does everyone care what their original MAC address was? I've used DE:AD:BE:EF:FA:CE as the MAC address on every device I owned, at one point or another.

2. "Changing the MAC has big implications just because you'll never pick one out of a hat that isn't already being used by anyone and that'll mean troubles on the net."

This isn't really accurate. The MAC address is used by your local network for DHCP, routing, etc, but it does not leave the LAN. Your MAC address will never be visible to the internet on the TF, so there is almost no chance of an address conflict. There'd have to be someone on your LAN with the same MAC to cause a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I doubt that "everyone" cares what their original MAC was, but the OP does. I don't personally care or have a desire to change it and I suspect most have no idea what a MAC is anyway.

IPv6 might make MACs more prevalent past the LAN or WLAN but I think only with stateless config. ARP cache using static config could "possibly" lead to trouble in a LAN, but I basically agree and it seems like not a big issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msticninja:
Sorry, didn't mean to generalize, but there are actually two posters in this thread with the question, so by "everyone" I meant the two of them. ;)

I agree about IPv6, but very few people will be stateless, so I suspect it still won't matter in 99.9% of cases.

Also, to mrmrmrmr, if you removed the config line that changed it in the first place, I would be surprised to see it randomly generate a new one. I'd expect the MAC address seen now is the original, whether it's registered with Asus or not. Changing the config again, and then reverting again, should show whether it's statically or randomly generated, just to make sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmrmrmr:
thanks for your posts.

I care about this because I really don't want to use a mac address which is not mine.

I know the mac address is not leaving the LAN but for regulation purposes it is used in LAN records.

I would like to obey the regulatory authority :)

anyway, if I remove the line from nvram.txt ,each time I re-enable wifi, I get a new mac address. maybe if I reboot, I will receive a permanent one.

Also, if I factory reset, I get totally a new one.

weird ...

I keep seeing these "I love my phone" threads or "I'm returning my phone" thread and all it does to me is make me indecisive. My upgrade is available on August 1st and I want to know if it's worth it. I am an evo 4g user since last year and i want to know from someone who enjoyed the evo since day 1 the difference between the two phones. By the way I am not planning on getting a gs2. Thanks guys.

UPDATE : Bought the damn phone and then I rooted the damn thing and I overclocked it and I am loving it. Thank god my account was eligible for an upgrade on August 1st while root was out. Patience is a virtue.
[HTC EVO 3D] k2buckley:
I had the Evo 4G since launch day, used it all year, and upgraded to the Evo3D on launch day as well. It is definitely an upgrade from the Evo 4G. The qHD screen is superior, the smoothness of the UI is awesome, sense 3.0 is cool, the processor and gpu are both beasts, and 90% of the devs that worked on the Evo4g are here for the Evo3D as well. The only thing the Evo has on the 3d (IMO) is full root and custom roms/kernels. However, we are very close to having that on the 3D as well. (hopefully) So to answer your question, yes I think you would enjoy the upgrade from the Evo4g. The power of this phone is amazing, even stock. The battery life is superior to the Evo too. And things are only going to get better from here, once we have S-off.

You're welcome. Again, its just my opinion , but I think you'll be pleased with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] monkeybone12:
What he said. I have both phones still. The only issue I have run into with the phone is wireless speeds. I am in the sticks, and pretty sure I am usually roaming on Verizon 1x towers. When I was in a big city over the weekend, Colorado Springs, the 4G speeds were pretty stinking awesome! 3G left a lot to be desired though. I have read up on it a bit, talked with those who I thought would know more than me, and did the 3G speed fix. So far, is loads about 200kbps regardless of signal strength. If you can look past that, you're set. I am pretty sure I'll be sticking this device out for as long as Devs are willing to work on it. Keeping fingers crossed for all of the fun possibilities that this POWERFUL device will bring when kinks are worked out.

For me, i was torn between evo3d and nexus s, i ended up with the 3d and for my first 30 i considered trading for the nexus, if it had just a few more features i probably would have traded for it. Now i wish i would have waited for the samsung s2.

Do i like the phone? Yes

Was it worth $200 to upgrade from the evo? No

But i sold my evo back to sprint for $150, so for a $50 upgrade from the evo it was worth it. Although i still wish i would have heald off for the new samsung coming out
[HTC EVO 3D] GadgetMonger:
Everything everyone wants in a custom rom and everything every custom rom advertises for the OG EVO is already in the 3D stock, plus the 3d features and more. Yes.

I love my 3vo. But to each their own. Make sure the screen isn't crooked before they activate it.

Battery life is awesome. Way far superior than the OG 4G.

The ONLY think I like about the OG 4G is the width of the screen. I wish the 3vo was the same width. The 3vo seems a little top heavy in my hands. But it is so minor that I'll soon forget about it.

I will likely be a EVO lifer. I purchased the EVO 4G on launch and bought the EVO 3D on launch, like many on here have previously stated. I loved my EVO 4G and I love this phone as well.

With or without root (which will come) this phone is beastly. I cannot guarantee that you will like it since I do not know of your previous phone history/preferences but I am assuming that your not a stranger to the smartphone/Android/HTC arena?

[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
Great phone but with Sprint's version of the GSII (Within) just passing through the FCC yesterday I would personally wait a few weeks. Looks like the GSII is coming soon. I personally will be getting it but I walk around with 2 phones. If I only had one upgrade I would wait till you get a firm release date so you can at least have that 30 day window in case you don't like the 3D & want to go with the GSII (Within). But both are great phones so I guess the decision is ultimately whether you prefer Samsung over HTC. I personally think Samsung wins the hardware battle just sucks when it comes to software and support of their products. Also the big time devs are in the 3D's corner right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] GerardF:
Go with HTC

Had the Samsung Epic and gave up on Samsung providing any updates over a year or more. Always saw HTC updates in the forums. I will not be done in again by sightly better hardware verses superior software support. I'm in HTC's camp from now on.

Is it crooked?

Is it leaking light from the sides?

[HTC EVO 3D] derfnoslen:
I returned the 3d. It's not worth your upgrade, the UI is smooth but after awhile you'll see lag, its nothing major so depends on how much you can bare.

The 3d is nice but its a gimmick, 99% of people don't have 3d so you can't share them, unless you buy a tv, just like with most new tech, pass the first round. A lot of people are now past the thirty days and wish they would've waited.

The reception on my unit was not impressive, like moat reviews stated. I think you'll be sorry, but you do have the 30 day return option. The dual core is nice but its not much better than the 3d, sense is still slowing it down.

I'd wait for the s2, which is faster.. even it lag issues I read. Or wait to hear about the iPhone or a new mango phone, no lag on those systems

That said its a good.device if you had a really old phone but not if you have the evo
[HTC EVO 3D] fdavila17:
Man buy it if u want u won't be disappointed tho
