[EVO 4G General] rruss:
and your a idiot cuz u didnt read it right i said nothing about sprints 4g being slow i wouldnt know cause they dont have it in my area i was saying sprint is lagging in expansion while verizon is most likely equal or have passed them in 4g expansion they have 6months to a year headstart but they are falling behind and thats not a good excuse at all so ur saying sprint can say o im sorry because we have so many customers our 4g sucks? If they have so many customers expanding 4g should be their number 1 priority but its not so they being overtaken and sub par service doesnt just include 4g
[EVO 4G General] rruss:
it could b a good point too bad u didnt elaborate on it
[EVO 4G General] xMODDEDX:
Gotta love Sprint's unlimited plan + Wireless Tether app! There are some true heaters here.
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
Congratz for reposting the same **** you just wrote already..

When I hear the word lagging, i automatically think slow network... Like when I'm owning this noob on battlefield bad company 2 and hes lagging all over the place, I yell at him noob get a better ISP! Sprint is expanding there network very soon I suggest you research before talking out of your ass...
[EVO 4G General] xMODDEDX:

A mobile network has significantly less bandwidth than home/land internet. That's why the offerings are different. Why you all can't seem to understand something so basic is beyond me.

[EVO 4G General] BlazinThat:
Why this is still going on is beyond me. Guess what, root makes my phone MY PHONE and if I use WiFi teather then I use it cause it helps me. Don't like, I don't care. All these phone companies make bank. How they set up the network is up to them.
[EVO 4G General] rruss:
and congrats on not saying anything relevant in your last post all u did was bold some words and tell me how you yell at little boys through a tv... sprint been saying they r expanding their network very soon for awhile but that dont change the fact verizon is ahead of them your wasting my life go back to yelling at lil jimmy in battlefield real men play call of duty anyway
[EVO 4G General] rruss:
amen to that
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What has to be understood and respected is personal responsibility.

Which is something that doesn't exist much anymore.

Its just like the right to free speech.

Yes, you can yell out any words you want in public doesn't mean you should.

Be responsible. That's all.

When you aren't that encourages laws and rules that are restrictive.

These people seem to forget that without these corporations their fancy shiny phones is a brick yet they still want to abuse and then complain when restrictions go in effect or prices are jacked up.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
**** prices - these dumb asses are probably broke ass teenagers who didn't know what it was like when Sprint used to have the fastest 3g network in the country. Not only are they slower now but their pretty much dead last now.

Sprint isn't really doing great financially either - so the more they abuse the system, the worse it will get.

Its easy to tell the difference between the responsible people and the abusers in this thread.
[EVO 4G General] Zac95:
Open mouth insert foot. Dude, go read or something, profitless company? NO slowest of the big four? NO.

I've had Verizon, t mobile, and sprint. Sprints has consistently been faster then t mobile, sometimes faster then Verizon. My og evo was faster on 3g then my friends atrix on "4g" and there "4g" is faster then their 3g, and my 3g was alottttt faster then the matrix.

Am I the only one who sees the speeds were supposed to?

3g is consistently 1.3-1.8mbps

4g is consistently around 7mbps

I've seen 2.3mbps on my 3g, and as high as eleven on my 4g. But that was on my 3d :)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It depends on the area.

Unfortunately for Sprint because of where the slow speeds are it hurts their average overall speeds.

By the way, you just awoke a whiney troll beast with this post so enjoy.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
On average Sprint currently holds the slowest network. Prior to this they were the fastest. I miss when they were the fastest, I used to do all my modding directly from my phone including rom downloads which took about 7 or 8 minutes for a 150mb rom. Right now I wouldn't even dare try.

[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
It's all well and good to appreciate Sprint as a company and support them as a loyal customer, but let's not live in denial of the fact that they are having issues. They have acknowledged having network issues and are working on fixing them.

Sprint has for me been a great company that is very customer-oriented and I appreciate their great plans and prices. But I am not living in denial either; they are a company that has some hurdles to overcome.

What can I say, that made me laugh.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No, they're not.

Data can be, data is misconstrued and misinterpreted on a daily basis.

I can take any data and make it say anything I want it to.

Real life experiences will always mean more than some number on a paper.

While the Detroit area data speeds are sub-500kb/s in Ann Arbor its close to 2mbit/s and the entire way from here to NYC (except in areas of no 3g) the speeds are great too.

Furthermore, many posters show their speeds on these forums.

So again, you can live in the world of data.

Do it.

I'll live in the real world where my friend's that have T-Mobile have worse data than I do. (Keeping in mind that, as I said, data in my area is sub-500kb/s)

I don't "live in denial"

I fully admit their issues.

I live with them on a daily basis.

All I'm saying is, data is not the end all be all of life.

It is deceiving
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Sprint consistently tests lower than the other carriers in speed and reliability. I don't think that it's a baseless accusation to say that they have a ways to go to improve. The anecdotal evidence of one individual does not prove anything, except that you're a lucky customer.

I have never, ever seen the types of speeds that you're getting. I wouldn't go around posting my speedtests as evidence of anything, because they are my experiences alone.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
That wasn't directed at you brother. ;)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
My apologies.

Who was it directed at then?
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Matty just can't seem to grasp this. I don't know why.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I guess based on re-reading the last couple of posts....I don't know anymore. lol

Screw you guys, I'm going home. ;)

Seriously, all I'm saying is that Sprint has pros and cons, and data speed relative to other carriers is a definite con based on most surveys I've seen and also most of the anecdotal evidence I've read. That doesn't of course mean that it's unsuitable for most of the service they support, it's just "not as good" as your neighbor's AT&T phone.

When I had my iPhone on AT&T I could generally best anyone else in a speedtest. Now that I'm on Sprint I have lost speedtest contests to friends who still have iPhones while I was connected to wimax. But you know what? I can still stream Netflix over 3G with virtually no issues, so in the grand scheme of things it doesn't affect my day-to-day usage of the phone so I really don't give a damn.

EDIT: One of the tags for this thread is now "award tour is gay". Give me a break, guys. Is an argument about Sprint data rates really worth that?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I see.

Yeah, I'm not saying that the data doesn't mean anything, it does...I live in a bad data area.

All I'm saying is...data is not the end all be all of life.

That's all that's been said here. Certain people can troll my posts and try to redirect my posts to make it seem like I said otherwise but that's all I said.

Your 3g Netflix comment is also a good point.

*looks below*

/sigh not another whiner.

Don't like it? Leave.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I wonder what everyone will say when Sprint goes tiered. The way their 3G is going these days it's only a matter of time. They will either have to tier, throttle, raise prices or collapse. And I dont want to hear the "network vision is the cure to the problem."
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I totally agree with you on that. I am not with Sprint because they have an amazing network, I am with Sprint because I save over $100 a month compared to what I was spending with AT&T and their customer service is heads and shoulders above the aforementioned AT&T.

The data speeds being a little bit slower...as I said, couldn't really care less as long as I can do what I want to do, and so far, I can.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I just re-read this post....

Completely redoing the towers/network and fixing it doesn't fix the network issues?!?!
[EVO 4G General] Zac95:
Than you. As I detailed in my post I was speaking on phone next to phone comparison. In some areas atnt is probably faster. But where I live, sprint is pretty damn good. Also sprint is in the process of updating their towers and improving speeds.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's not what you want to hear, it's what it is. The extra $10 on every smart phone allows them not to go tiered. If anything they will throttle the top 5% or 10%.

Also what answer would suffice in fixing the network? I would think completely revamping the network which is cleverly named "network vision" would be the correct answer.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Yea, except with this "network vision" there will actually be fewer towers than there are now. And with the ****ty 2.5 frequency that's already thin as is i'm not expecting much. And I dont want to hear network vision because that **** isnt going to be complete until 3-5 years from now and the data is terrible NOW. How many people do you think are going to stick around for that? Even with Sprints "value" they still lose customers to AT&T and Verizon every quarter, tiered data or not. It's like, do I want 2-5 gigs of tiered data that I can actually use, or unlimited data that I get 100-300 kb/sec speeds on. What's the use?

And just imagine how much worse the bleeding would've been had it not been for this phone. It turned the tables temporarily... but as was before the Evo Sprint is bleeding customers yet again. It's like, I bought a car from you under warranty and the motor blew 4 cylinders. Sure, I can still drive it but it doesnt perform with a **** and you tell me I have to wait until 2013-2015 to get it fixed. The $20 saving a month isnt worth it IMO.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
do you have any facts or information that backs that up? do you have actual metrics about how much of a difference the network vision project will make? or are you just day dreaming and assuming?
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Source? The last quarterly report I read about Sprint said that they were pretty much maintaining numbers at this point, as they were last quarter.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
off the top of my head, they were losing on contract customers but gaining on pre paid. not really a good sign for a company that is losing money.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Maybe you should read about the Vision project?

I mean, seems like that would be the first place to start.

If people here read things first I bet the trolling/flaming would drop 50% easily.

[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
the funny thing is that i did!!!! i couldn't find anything on measurable real world improvements. i have no doubt that there will be improvements but i couldn't find anything specific. so i have no idea if this is the miracle your trying to pass it off as.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
i'll take your super large bolded text and raise you red:
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Looking at the numbers, Sprint basically added 325,000 postpaid customer (minus losses in Q2), so I don't think I was that far off in saying that they basically maintained. Certainly, they are not "bleeding customers"; we both agree on that.

EDIT:

Don't just read the story and pick out numbers; do your math.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
That's an overall add bud.

At minimum it is

as MaxCarnage said.

If you think that Verizon and At&t don't include their prepaid in their numbers too you're sorely mistaken.

Point is, Sprint isn't

as brownhornet claimed.
[EVO 4G General] hercules rockefeller:
A couple points of clarification - Sprint will operate fewer overall towers compared to the current total they're operating for both the CDMA and iDEN networks. They're not reducing CDMA towers (if anything, they'll keep on expanding the # of CDMA towers). Think of all the cost that Sprint's incurring to keep running those iDEN towers, which do nothing to help your coverage - wouldn't you rather they put that money into CDMA / Wimax? this is a win for the customer, because you know Sprint's got to put every dime they save on iDEN into CDMA just to compete with AT&T / VZW

As for the timeframe on network vision, it's 3-5 years for the total project, but the first phases are launching in several markets during 4th quarter and 1st quarter. not all of the benefits of network vision will be available immediately (for example, using 800 MHZ bandwidth for greater in-building penetration on the CDMA network), but some of the key improvements will be there from the start (the switch to radio heads integrated with the antennas is supposed to provide 70% better signal quality alone). The estimates of how network performance will improve have been very, very impressive IMO. But you're right that there are no real-world numbers to look at right now, because those are mostly computer models until the first few markets are deployed and tested. Only time will tell, but I like that Sprint is at least trying to innovate and create a dramatic different in their network.

And aside from network vision I think a big, big issue is simply adding backhaul capacity. I used to get 9 MB on wimax and 2 MB on EVDO all day every day last winter and into the spring. but as traffic grew that changed dramatically. I work an early shift, and the first few hours of my day I still get close to those speeds, but anytime after 9 am or so it's a lot slower. To me that says that the network is capable of providing those speeds, but it doesn't have the backhaul to do so. and adding backhaul or more wireless carriers to a tower is something that happens all the time - it doesn't have to wait for network vision. It's going to be a moving target for sprint to add bandwidth fast enough as data growth continues to grow, but there's no reason to think that there's no way for things to improve for 3-5 years.

[Desire HD Themes and Apps] scorpion_rain:
Hi Everyone,

I used to own a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 (Worst phone i've used) however it did have a very nice panorama application from SonyEricsson Panorama beta <https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sonyericsson.panorama> This app is also avaliable for download in Xda Forums I think.

Has anyone been able to install this on the HTC Desire HD? or do you know if it is possible to do so?

I know it is only built specificaly for the X10 but I was just wondering if someone had hacked it yet?

Thank you in advance!

Great job by the way XDA :)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] lawrence750:
I'm not sure how important it is to you about using the same app, but I would recommend photaf 3d panorama. Works well on Dhd (don't overclock whilst using I had some problems with the viewfinder just showing black instead of the camera image) but its pretty good! Give it a try.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] majorassface:
Yes it's possible to install panorama beta, just look for the flashable zip for dhd. To go along with the APK. I use it on mine and it works great!!

EIDT: Here is the link, just click on Desire HD. Took me less than a minute to find it. You should really try searching before posting these types of questions, and watch out for the iron fist!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peecs121:
Might be a stupid question but would any of the modems like the KF2 modem from the Vibrant 4g work on our phones. We haven't had a new one in so long and there's update constantly. I thought the only differences in our phones was the ffc and the 4g chip. So wouldn't those modems work too? Really wanting to flash one just to see what happens. Thanks for any help

I'm looking for the name of the apk for "call history" in app drawer and maybe somebody can tell me the name of the apk for "people", almost like contacts that is in sense 1 and 2.0 roms. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Call history its not application >>> it has no name. it lies in the People application :

com.android.htccontacts ( HtcContacts.apk )
[HTC Sensation] nugzo:
k whatever it is i know there is an icon in the app drawer for it. For some reason it does not show up on TMOUS roms, only seen it on the EU ones. It was also on every other sense rom for every android phone i've had, as well as the people icon. I wonder why TMO decided to delete it...

I assume the people icon i'm looking for is not an APK either, do you know anything about that one? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Call history icon can be created using "anycut". Is that what you're looking for?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Make sure you are connected to the computer properly and that the phone is in mass storage mode. Then drag and drop to your sd card. From there, use root explorer to move the apk to your system/app folder. Reboot and it should work
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
That's what I did and for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it over. I've transferred so many other files that way with no problem I just don't understand why it wont let me transfer this file

[Acer Iconia A500] sherpadude:
For the last few months I've Ben unable to update/install Facebook on a500. App does not show in marketplace app, does show on web android market but shows as not compatible with Acer. I've got factory install (of honeycomb) and received latest updates---though I had the problem prior to 3.1. Note I already have older version of Facebook when I was able to install (when I first got a500...just after release). I'm not interested in rooting if possible and believe issue must be related to configs on marketplace in my profile?

I'm sure the issue isn't very widespread or else this forum would filled with posts...anythoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] Only1nexus:
you are correct that it is currently not compatible. That is why on your Acer there is a Facebook link. It has nothing to do with your user settings on the marketplace. What you can do is look up on xda or on Google for the facwbook apk.
[Acer Iconia A500] sephv1:
Download Friend Me from the market, it's the next best thing to an actual app from Facebook.

As far as Netflix, the only way right now is to root, download the app from the forum, download a patch and it'll work. Only downside is it causes problems with the camcorder function.
