If i call to have them reset on there end should i return phone to factory state? Assuming they can pick up tweaked network settings on there end or if they even care since that is all possible without root.
[EVO 4G General] augoza:
I highly doubt they'd notice. Or care. Anyway, just deny

Anyone having problems getting this to actually stick? My build.prop doesn't have the values that zepplinrox posted:

The speed hasn't changed at all either, still in the 200-300 range in the same position on my windowsill.

Anyone else?
[EVO 4G General] Adam1422:
Me too! Help anyone?
[EVO 4G General] lojak29:
Never ever will it be faster its slow cause its iden network

People wonder and wonder and wonder why 3g is so slow, there may be small tweaks but overall it will always be slow, it is becasue sprints 3g is off the iden network, iden is what nextel uses, and until they oust, nextel from the game, theyre towers are eaten up by nextel users, which causes issues for sprints 3g smartphone users.

And for wimax 4g, forget it, its a hit and miss, and who knows what will happen with sprint all together! They need lte, or hspa.

Sprint 3g is literally nothing more then 2g edge at its best
[EVO 4G General] Duke4eva:
It's stayed the same.. I honestly don't know if I even did it right.
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
You know those silly apps on your pc that prove will increase internet speed? Its all horse****. If your ISP company is slow, your internet is slow. If 3g is slow in your area, no app is gonna increase your speed. Its a placebo. I bet if you tested your 3g speed without the script, a hundred times, you would mostly likely kill yourself from the influx speed difference.
[EVO 4G General] :
Atleast we can tout we have the worlds fastest edge networkXD
[EVO 4G General] bjyounggotti:
Shockingly this worked very well on my EVO...I was just complaining about my 3g being slower lately so I just downloaded script manager...checked the run as root box and installed and my EVO went from around 211 to over 800 on speedtest
[EVO 4G General] Buckky:
My speed also increased. However it seems to be fully reliant on the tower you ping.
[EVO 4G General] augoza:
I said the same thing about 3g. Its like 2g. I think there is a conspiracy. Ever since 4g first came out for phones, it seemed like 3g slowly but surely got slower. 3g is 2g and 4g is fast 3g. Conspiracy! Haha or I actually have no damn clue what I'm talking about. Just throwing a theory around.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
No.

3g is NOT on the IDEN 800 mhz band...yet.

Sprint is working on Vision.

Sprint Vision will allow for Voice/"3g"/Wimax to be broadcasted at any band.

Whether it is 800mhz, 1900mhz, or 2500mhz.

This has many, many advantages and will completely change Sprint's position in the mobile market.

The way they are redoing the towers is going to reduce the amount of cabling/towers/antennas.

In testing this has given an increase of signal gain between 70% and 120%

Essentially how it will work is as follows:

Your phone will be on the 2500 mhz band.

When it starts to lose signal it will drop to 1900mhz.

If that starts to lose signal it will drop to 800mhz.

This will also cause "4g" to be in all areas. [Yes, this is going to take until 2013]

They will be launching 8 markets with Sprint Vision by the end of this year, but they have not announced what cities that will be.

Yeah go pay for over priced rate plans! That's a joke! Verizons a joke, just like ATT. I'm gonna support a company that buys up the little guys, fire them all and hire new people, then tell the people we created new jobs. **** Verizon!
[EVO 4G General] churro7:

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:

[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
My Guess is 8 of the cities listed in the article, once again MI get the shaft:

"Network Vision implementation

The nation’s geography will be divided among Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson and Samsung on a market-by-market basis. Several of the markets for each company:

•Alcatel-Lucent: New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D.C./Baltimore and Los Angeles

•Ericsson: Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Kansas City and Dallas

•Samsung: Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Seattle

"

http://newsroom.sprint.com/news/sprint-announces-network-vision-network-evolution-plan.htm
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Keep in mind, they intend to completely redo their entire network.

It just takes time.

Logic would dictate that larger markets and markets that are in the most need would get it first.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid_droid:
I have always used the htc stock internet browser but I tried google chrome mobile once it seems really laggy.

Can anyone share their views on what they think is best internet browser for the desire z and why thanks.

Btw I have firefox on my PC.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Firefox has gotten better, and there's a good use case for it if you use Firefox on your main machine because of firefox sync.

Lots of people use Opera and DolphinHD.

I personally use the stock browser, it works just fine for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid_droid:
I thought the stock was just fine too...I have been hearing a lot of big talk about dolphin hd too which made ask the question..thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
I'd say try each of them and see how you like them. I'm not what you would consider a "heavy" browser user, so stock is fine for me. There's so many features on the other ones that I really wouldn't use that its not worth my time.

Id definitely look at firefox. It might be nice using firefox sync.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
I use stock on the phone typically. Dolphin HD on the Nook Color.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommy0515:
I prefer Dolphin because I find that the stock browser is occasionally buggy, and some of the Dolphin add-on's are quite useful.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDAREK:
Yeah, Dolphin is Great!

I use stock for most of time, but when I turn to dolphin, I wont go back... is much faster then stock and les laggy.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
I have both Opera's and Firefox. Opera Mini when you're low on Data or just want faster speeds (low data usage since page is rendered on Opera's server), Opera Mobile cos it's easier to clear cache and history than the stock. Just installed Firefox so haven't even launched it yet.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bharakrama:
I've tried Dolphin HD and Opera Mini but I keep coming back to the stock browser. It's simple, clean, and doesn't take up any more precious screen space than it needs to. Of course this is my opinion.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid_droid:
I just tried opera mini for the last 15 hours and to be honest stock seems faster for me...and slightly less laggy. I might give dolphin HD a go tonight and that screen cutter add on it has.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDAREK:
Stock is good, but is one issue that I hate... it doesn't have exit button with closing all oppened page, and removing cache etc.

this is why I prefer Dolphin.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
On CM7 you can long-press the "back" button to force close the app. If I didn't have this, the stock browser would probably bug me more.
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
dont really get it but can someone make the droid boot animation and tell me how to install it and everything?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1186665

i found that link and i wanna use the gray one but not sure it would work
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
here try this use root explorer(if you dont have it you can get it in the market) to put in correct place(depends on the rom you are running(*)?

store on root of SD card

open root explorer make sure to make R/W

go to SDCard and copy file

navigate to bootanimation path (*)

rename bootanimation.zip to something else (bootanimation1.zip)

paste file and rename bootanimation.zip to match what the old one was if necessary

exit root explorer

reboot phone
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
Thank you so much, im using senseless extreme and i think its the the customize/resource. you think i can do this with es file manager?

EDIT: im running TMOUS and where would i put the audio? thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
i'm looking in to that rom i'll get right back with you
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
i got it down, do you know where i would put the audio, or name it though?
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
are you using civic_tmousv2?
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
no, sensless extreme 2.0
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
from what i can see that rom isn't set up for sound. but i can make it where it can.
[HTC Sensation] tabuburn:
Not sure if your rom supports audio but on my rom, the location for audio is the same as that of the bootanimation (/data/local/).

It should be named android_audio.mp3 and as for permissions:

Owner: check only read and write

Group: check only read

Others: check only read
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
nah its alright i can live without the sound, but how would you make the sound work?
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
edit the default.xml
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
im gonna try what babuburn said and wouldnt you need bosinas permission to edit it?
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
dont think so just adding a line, have done it to some peoples in 3vo section. only thing it does is allow the sound to work.
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
thats cool let me know if you change your mind. so the animation is up and running?
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
alright, then can you do it for me? sorry for asking for too much. it wouldnt require reflashing would it?
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
yeah animation works. read above for the sound thingy
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
no reflashing, just renaming a file and moving the new to that folder using root explorer(or es file explorer) the you just add the mp3 to same folder you put bootanimation in and reboot.
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
alright, i'd appreciate if you do that
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
here you go

unzip and read the inclosed text

remember to make a back up
[HTC Sensation] stanleynhan:
dude, i love you so much (no homo) it worked. can i come back to you if his future updates dont support sound?
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
yep, anytime. glad everything is working the way it should. or if you need a animation ported.
[HTC Sensation] :
its alright if i contact you with the email in the zip right?
[HTC Sensation] dased14:
sure

[Nook Color General] vn33:
Am sure there are many happy Nook Colour owners who live north of the 49th Parallel. I am about to have my cousin (who lives in the States) order a refurb Nook Colour, have it shipped to a Receiving centre in Lewiston (NY), and my brother will pick it up. Sounds like a lot of work, but yes, that is what I have to resort to since Buy.com wouldn't take my Canadian registered PayPal account, and Cdn Credit card.

My questions are:

- Would I be able able to register my Nook with B&N when I first started it up ?

- What do you do if you want to register at B&N website (to purchase books) w/o a US Credit card ?

Can fellow Canucks share their ownership experiences ?

Thanks, eh! :)
[Nook Color General] nolook:
I'm canadian but initially installed honeycomb and now cm7 n150 firmware - never even booted into stock...

bought mine on ebay 200 sale and think its my best purchase of the year...
[Nook Color General] bmss:
@vn33,

I've been able to register an account and purchase an ebook from B&N.

It appeared in my nook color once I registered it to my account.

I registered first through B&N.

I used a real e-mail address and my credit card number (visa).

For primary shipping address, I used the address of the closest B&N store to me.

I selected the closest US city (Niagara Falls) and plugged that into the B&N store locator.

Even though the address didn't match my Visa I was able to purchase an ebook and the charge appeared on my statement so I don't believe they check.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] vn33:
Thanks for the info above, nolook & bmss ...

Are you running stock or CM7 ?

If you do run CM7, did are you running the Nook App from Market ?

Did you managed to purchase magazine ?

Thanks again !
[Nook Color General] bmss:
@vn33,

I'm running stock off internal memory.

I haven't bought any magazines.

I've tried the dual boot phiremod/honeycomb rom off of microsd but getting a lot of force closes with all my existing cards. I really like phiremod 6.3 though.

I'm still having trouble finding a good microsd with random 4k write speeds.

The nook app can't be found in my version of the market. I think it has to do with a Canadian IP address. This hasn't prevented me from downloading books with the stock rom. I haven't tried any tweaks to install the .apk that I found on the web or tried unlocking the market yet. Not until I have a microsd that can run phiremod with stability.
[Nook Color General] andtron:
I think BN wouldn't sell the hardware in Canada, but if you get your hand on one, then once registered the device with a google a/c (you could put in the credit # during the device registration, or after you registered, then use a regular PC browser to add the # online), and you are good to go. After all, BN cares only your credit card, not where are you from. There could be some copyright issue for them, but I am sure they just close their eyes.

As other posters mentioned, the NC is a very good device, I also bought from refurbished on ebay for $250 (shipping inclusive) and you don't pay the GST and PST.
[Nook Color General] nolook:
I'm not running the nook app on my cm7 nook...

I'm tempted to get the cheap hp tablet though it has the same resolution as the nook...
[Nook Color General] andtron:
I would not buy the HP (even if it is only $99) unless there are mod that could convert it into an Android. Since HP is going to abandone it, there will be no support or anyone writing app for it (it is based on an obscure WebOS), so the only use you have is web browsing.
[Nook Color General] nolook:
yes its very interesting i missed out on the 1st round this weekend but am in no rush since there isn't an android rom available at the moment...
[Nook Color General] mohcho:
Went down to Virginia in July and our first stop was the first B&N along our route near Erie, PA. I bought it from the store and rooted it that evening at the hotel. (Already had everything ready to go). I noticed a dead pixel in the middle of the screen and had to unroot it and brought it to the next B&N store along our route and exchanged it for one that was perfect.

I ended up getting the Nook app on my Nook (ironic) and set it up using a gmail account and everything was good.
[Nook Color General] swapdotavi:
Mine has worked perfectly since I got it last december. Living in Vancouver, Canada. Never used the B&N service though, so not sure how that works.

Registration and everything for the first time setup was a breeze though.
[Nook Color General] Balzard:
I am interested in the new Nook Tablet, but I believe it won't ship to Canada either. How did you guys buy your Nook (apart from going to the US?). Have you ever tried a service like MYUS? How can I get a Nook Tablet for relatively the same price as it is sold in the US?
[Nook Color General] Erkdajerk:
Unless you're willing to cross the border and pick it up

or

have an Amerifriend willing to ship it to you, you

will

have to pay a premium to get it in Canada.

shopereaders dot com is one option although I have never used their services. myus dot com is another option.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with it if you have to pay a premium. I like my Nook Color but not enough to pay the "Canada surcharge". There are other options available in Canada like the Kobo Vox, which has almost identical specs but is affordable and available locally. That's an important consideration in case you have to return it or get warranty service.
