[EVO 4G General] hercules rockefeller:
most of this is speculation until Sprint makes their big announcement on the 7ths, but there's a couple things that can be cleared up right away:

First, Wimax isn't going anywhere for the time being. In addition to all of the various Evos, Epics, Nexus S, and Photons out there, there's millions of 4G chips embedded in laptops and 4G connection cards as well. and a lot of those are corporate accounts, who hate upgrading equipment. You think it's a PITA to upgrade your phone? try doing 50, or 100 or even 500 at once! Sprint's not turning off the lights on 4G anytime soon.

As for the point made about wimax backhaul, that's an excellent insight. Sprint's got boatloads of 2.5 GHZ spectrum, and a key part of network vision is using microwave backhaul to avoid having to rely on competitors such as Verizon or AT&T to provide the last-mile connectivity from their towers to the network backbone. I don't know if WiMax is the specific standard that would be used for that, but I suppose there's no reason why it couldn't be.

Re LTE on the EVO; that's not going to happen. they're entirely different standards, like Beta and VHS as mentioned above. Even if we set aside the physical differences between Beta and VHS, - suppose you threaded a beta tape into a VHS cassette - the picture is recorded on the tape diffrently. It still wouldn't play in a VHS VCR. You could run LTE in the same frequencies as WiMax, and the EVO's Wimax antenna would receive the signal. But it wouldn't know what to do with it at that point. You need the chipset designed to receive the LTE signal. I suppose in theory it'd be possible to create a software based emulator to handle the chipset's job, but there are all sorts of technical barriers that would make that unfeasible.

And last but certainly not least, I don't know where 2018 came from, but that's nowhere near correct. Network vision was announced as a 3-5 year project, and all of this stuff speculated in this thread would fall under that. If anything, network vision is being sped up, not slowed down. So 2018 is off by at least a few years. I'd say late 2013 is more likely, although that's speculation on my part.

What? You mean to tell me businesses still use outdated stuff, like Internet Explorer 6? /s

I have a corporate account with verizon. The cutover isn't what kills you, it's enabling company resources to each device and getting things back to 'normal' for the user. I don't have 500 devices, but the 50-100 I have is plenty for one person. Some enterprise mobile device management solutions are available that ease this a bit, like AirWatch or MobileIron, but there is still a bit of leg work involved with those processes as well.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
I am new to android as I bought a Tab on release day in the u.s. In my 2 and half months of having the tab and being a member of xda I search the forums quite regularly and I have noticed something. This will make me sound like a real negative person, but I have noticed that the exact same questions get posted time and time again. I don't think a week can go by without someone asking how to get a full wallpaper or if the tab can get Netflix.

So I was wondering how many people do one of two options for forums...

A. When you have a question, do you just post it and wait a day to see if anyone answered it?

B. Or do you search the forums for your answer so you get your question answered in a few minutes of research?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SouthPhilly:
Hummmm.... Search, Search, Search!!!!

But not to defend but, I'm going to bet their are alot of "Noobs" that really have no clue as to what they just got there hands on when buying something like a Tab or have ever even used a forum. I was a long time Mod on a site called MyTreo.net and remember when the Treo 600 came out... So may repost of just about everything from how to send MMS's to why does my battery keep running out. New technologies and new devices will always generate people who have never used a forum to get help. It's all part of the game brother.

I just always try and remember the everyone was a "Noob" at one point. I try to point them in the right direction and remind them to use the search function.

Sent from my Galaxy10.1 TouchWiz/ADWex equipped Starship.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] TECK:
Yes, people don't search... but you have to understand that sometimes people don't know what to search for also, since they are new to a product. So they post the best they can their question/concern. After all this is a forum discussion, where people talk. :)

When I started to use these forums, I never found what I was looking for as answer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
It does make you sound like a negative person. I really don't mind the repeated questions; many users here are not native English speakers and that can make searching difficult. Another problem is that very few people know how to spell anything correctly, which also makes searching a problem. If the new thread is in the Q+A section, no big deal. Some of us are not power users but we'd like to help new folks when they arrive (just like some folks helped us when we were new).

On the other hand, what really does bother me is when someone creates a new thread complaining about 1) some perceived flaw in the galaxy tab or; 2) some irritation with other users. Even worse is when it's just a rhetorical and self-righteous "question" and is titled something useless and uninformative like "poll."
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MaximKat:
They could at least try...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Stardate Tab 10.1:
Sorry to offend you slack04. But if you hate people on this site who ridicule other users then why the attack on me? Isn't that a bit hypocritical?

I was just asking the community their thoughts on the issue. If you look at the forums you will see a wallpaper scaling post and if you scroll down the screen you will see 3 more of the same exact issue. No search is really required. It is just a matter of scrolling down a little bit. I know I have probably asked questions that have already been answered here, but after I searched for an answer. My question was meant as a more philosophical reasoning to searchering forums or just post question.

Hence the title poll. But I guess I could have titled the topic better.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
I went to the development section and looked at the guide for how to unroot the evo, and I downloaded the S-ON tool and went to download the pc36img and the file isnt there anymore.

I am scared to do anything in the fear of bricking this phone. I am not even sure on how to unroot it all and stuff.

I am not trolling, and I have actually looked. I am sorry I am just new to the root world.. I have to repair my phone tomorrow and I have to unroot it...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
What method did you use to root?

What Hboot version do you have?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Ok a lil more information is needed. Also why are you unrooting....

If you are returning your phone just take an OTA update and it will unroot for you, Other methods and links when you post some info on bootloader and previous root method used.. FYI - there are threads in development for both unrooting methods

you can also find an RUU and it will do the same thing but go to the unrevoked site and they have info on how to unroot

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Or like I said you can check your phone for updates. If it takes it will unroot your phone for you as well.

with my baseband being RADIO-2.15.00.0808 will i need to downgrade radio or anything before doing all this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
did you check to see if an OTA is available for you. Could save you some time and worries. Also I do not believe you have to worry about your radio although I have seen some people have an issue. I would give it a try first...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
I believe you mean 04.08 and that radio should be fine.

Try doing an OTA like playya has said if you don't feel comfortable with our methods.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
it says there is no update for my phone under HTC updates...

so do you think its okay to go ahead and try the unrooting process and flash the PC36IMG.zip through hboot after running unrevoked tool and flashing that through recovery EVEN WITH my RADIO-2.15.00.0808?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
no matty i just booted into hboot to check again and its 2.15.00.0808

If you really want you can downgrade the radio first.

Flash it in your recovery.

Ah, I see that comes with the newest OTA.

I would downgrade just to make sure.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
your ok man, you are not going to blow up anything unrooting your phone. The only reason I say to not do S-on first is due to just incase you change your mind or need to fix something you would only have to flash a custom recovery to still be rooted.

You never answered though are you returning phone to Sprint, insurance or just a basic repair. Because you may not need to run S-on tool

yes your are ok, it either works or does not work from my experience with others.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
MAIN reason for unrooting... here ill just explain it before I unroot so I can get some input...

my girlfriend has an evo, unrooted stock.

I have an evo obviously, rooted, and running a stock rom.

she gets okay service, and doesnt have any problems, where as I get one bar most the time, and my texts will come in like 20 minutes late.

say I send a text at 11:05..... I will get a reply back 20 minutes later, but the timestamp on their text will say 11:06. my phone will not receive it instantly.

my calls get dropped, and sometimes the texts come in really late for no reason.

I figured taking it to sprint they might just give me a new one since I have been with them for like 5 years lol...

input? should I unroot and try to see if it works or will unrooting do absolutely nothing on my network/text issue.?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
or do I already have the same versions of what the OTA will give me and the text issue has nothing to do with root?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
Have you tried different roms, because I dont think thats a root issue. Also if you were running stock then I really dont think its a root issue. I would of tried different roms. I have seen rooted Evos get better signal strength and dl speeds than unrooted and visa versas.... Sounds more like bad luck than root issue but hey let Sprint check it out. It wont hurt or do a test after you get it back to stock and see if you get better reception.

Were you comparing apples to apples though. Same version of software and same radio version, prl, pri and everything?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
i think I dont have the updated PRL's but I never roam anyways in the house
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
just asking... honestly I would of tried everything else before unrooting but if you did all that already then take it in and hopefully they give you another one. I find it hard to believe rooting it and flashing a rom would mess that up. So dont be afraid to root the next one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I doubt your network issues are related to your rom or root status. Unrooting will only change one thing - you won't be able to run root apps anymore.

I personally wouldn't run the s-on tool, Sprint is supposed to service rooted phones & flash you to the latest firmware. Since you are already on the latest stock rom, I don't think they'll care. Worst case scenario is that they unroot for you in store or tell you to unroot. I doubt that they'll do either.

Your issue seems more like a radio problem. Have you made sure everything is up to date? If so, you can try downgrading your radio to see if that helps.

When did this start happening? Was it after an update or has it always been this way?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
I flash my radios all from Caulkins threads. They are the only radios I trust personally. Maybe you should of tried flashing a couple of them to test things out.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonHoneycutt:
thank you guys for all your help thus far I thanked both of you the most times I could haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you've never flashed radios before, then you need to know to never pull the battery when flashing them. After you flash it'll tell you to reboot - do so, and don't freak out over what you see when you reboot. Let it finish, and it'll take you back to recovery when it's done.

It may be redundant, but I make sure to tell anyone that's new to flashing radios. Pulling the battery during a radio flash - which isn't what you see in recovery, but what you see upon rebooting - is the only way to permanently brick your Evo.

Good luck, I hope downgrading your radio helps :)

[HTC Sensation] piimp:
If I remember correctly it doesn't, bt u need to do a backup after s-off before permrooting(just in case sum goes wrong). Now, when u start playing with roms that's when ur gonna have to erase data n wut not but then u should be good cuz u wouldve already done a backup :)

[HTC Sensation] darryll4sh0:
It's just like jailbreaking a iPhone but except it can't be unrooted like when you update an iPhone it loses cydia
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
It doesn't erase your data like an iPhone because its only installing some files. Unlike iPhone where you replace the whole system with your modded .ipsw. Rooting can be undone with an update just like an iPhone loses its jailbreak. making your device s-off is sorta like saving your shsh blobs on the iPhone. With your device s-off, you are more protected so you can always get root in the future. Just like blobs on the iPhone allow you to downgrade to maintain your jailbreak. They are kind of similar of you think about it that way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyukki:
The problem started in Korea, when I was trying to charge the phone before I got on the flight back home. The phone was at 5% the night before so I just let it die overnight so I could charge it in the morning. I plugged it in via USB on my netbook and let it sit for 30 minutes but did not show the charging battery animation. I had tried a different battery but was a no go so I thought it was a faulty hardware, from humidity or something like that. The usb cable was somewhat loose on the phone so I thought I'll give it another go at home.

So I plugged the phone into the new usb cable which was snug and phone started getting hot. Then after a while, I tried the unbrick method again. Then it put me into download mode so I did something I don't remember and got the phone back up again and realized the battery was COMPLETELY dead.

I let it charge to full and unplugged it. Then after an hour or two the problem came back. But this time, the phone is neither getting hot nor responding to the jig. I tried the unbrick method as well but no luck.

Anyone have similar problems?

I've tried to stream my simple DIVX AVI files over my wifi for days now. The files are located on a NAS with DLNA capabilities. I've tried different apps, but the same result with every app - does not work. The lag is defined as MAJOR. 0.5 sec of sound, silence for 5 sec, 0.5 sec sound, silence for 5 sec and so on.

The funny thing is, if I pick up my Samsung Galaxy S II - it works FLAWLESSLY! The stream picks up within 1-2 secons and plays just fine without any hickups at all.

How come it works like a charm with my S II, but not with my tab? FYI I've tried with the stock rom, now I'm using the Broodcomb ROM, and the results are the same on both roms. This can't be because the Tab 10.1 doesn't have an official support for DLNA, can it?

What are you using as a player? I suggest Rockplayer which I have used to play DLNA streamed media just fine from my Galaxy S2 phone using Skifta beta (free) as the server. The lag problem may be issues with hardware decoding. If you are using moboplayer, there is a setting in the application to default to software decoding.

I can confirm that using Skifta as a DLNA app to browse my Buffalo NAS and Rockplayer to stream the video files works brillantly. This seems to be the only combo that is reliable.
