Just got 30mbps on wards Rd @ walmart... 4g seems to be pretty constant now.... I tested the speed multiple times and it was the same 30mbps
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Wow, that's great. I wonder what they changed. It must have been a bandwidth issue. Now if they will stop locking their bootloaders we will be in good shape.

[Thunderbolt General] smitty4_4:
Im in Lynchburg as well...Do you think it will be expanded any further at the moment? Or will they just run more tests and whatnot of what they already have before launch? Im curious because my house is about a half mile away from coverage atm. Just would like an opinion
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
They are definitely expanding it. I have info from 2 high-level area managers that have said Verizon is committed to investing in the surrounding counties. So not if, but when is the question.
[Thunderbolt General] smitty4_4:
Thanks for the response, that is nice to know.
[Thunderbolt General] seeingwhite:
Here we go! Official announcement from Verizon about official 4G deployment tomorrow (7/19):

Lynchburg and Winchester, VA, and expansions in Fredericksburg.

I also read on another blog that it would also be turned on in " the towns of Amherst, Campbell, Monroe, Timberlake and Alta Vista."

[Thunderbolt General] baronmxc:
Time to travel around Virginia again. Fredericksburg's 4G has been slow so maybe the expansion will help it. Here in Richmond its been super fast since launch in mid 2011

Hi all

I have successfully flashed Cyanogen nightly on my phone. However, when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't give me an option to transfer files to and from my phone to my computer. All I see is the USB debugging on my notification bar. I have tried this advice from

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13636060&postcount=1465

I have also installed the drivers from LG. When I use the support tool to update it, it says that they cannot find a connection between the phone and my computer. Would that possibly be an issue?

Thanks!

EDIT UPDATE: When I follow the instruction from the link above, I get an error saying "Windows found driver for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.

This device cannot start.(Code 10)

I hope I can get some help! Thanks again!

I'm still working on this same issue. Today I used the ROM for recovery linked below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644

It worked and I was able to transfer files to my internal SD with the stock ROM. I then flashed CM7 once again but had the same problem. I then used the CM Nexus GB by Faux123 and once again had the same problem. When I plug in my USB, debugging icon shows up but the USB transfer doesn't show at all.

I find it weird that it worked with the stock ROM but not with either of CM7 or CM Nexus.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I'm out of thanks for the day, but you will get one soon enough from me I'm sure. That being said, how hard is 'porting' and what exactly does that mean? I think I get the idea but how is it done really?

I would love to learn how to do this. I am slowly getting into theming a little, but am no where close to releasing anything yet, first off I am a perfectionist and second I am just learning the basics now.

Would love to start reading up on the whole porting aspect of stuff.

/end hijack....sorry!

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Porting is basically making the proper changes for the rom/kernel/theme to be compatible with another device. Just do a Google search and you can find other threads talking about it.

If you don't have any code experience it will be tough going to learn. If you are already trying to learn how to theme than this is good place to start because knowing the directory structure and where things are located will help.

no the tech sites need to read between the lines. was there a nexus being shown off around big v's hq? yea.. wanna guess why? because out of the top four carriers in teh us they are the only ones without a nexus device..

there are rumors of verizon getting a droid prime which if thats the case yet again they will be without a nexus device (cant call it something else) my guess is because they want the hardware but their carrier bloat crap on it
[Motorola Photon 4G] MoPho:
The photon is an awsome phone and with tegra 2 thd games it beats my gfs evo shift hands down. I tried the evo3d and wasnt impressed. Its really buggy and likes to get stuck in 3d mode. The sales rep even told me to go with the photon which was cheaper meaning less commissions. She had came from doing repairs to sales and she said the evo3d was a waste of money and told me all the horror stories they were having at the repair center with them.

I know sprint has some phones comimg out soon that are going to be better but work with what we have first.

I found my old htc tilt and it still has more dev than the photon.

Im someone who isnt all about games. I like preformance, battery life and apps to make my day more productive.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbang3r:
I think a lot of Sprint customers were like me... the MoPho came out, we yawned, and had zero interest in it regardless of specs because it was Motorola... and we all knew Motorola was the essence of pure toxic TiVO-ized evil in AT&T/Verizon-land. They encrypted their bootloaders in ways that couldn't be trivially cracked, and bent over backwards to lock down everything they could.

Then Google bought Motorola, the sun came out, the birds started singing, the sourcecode got released, and suddenly the MoPho became interesting.

Absolutely hate iphones I'll stick with the photon. The galaxy s and a couple other new phones coming out for sprint have my interest though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrinehart93:
Once I get a port for CyanogenMod you can be sure I'll write a general guide/video tutorial on how I did it. I must say that there needs to be a centralized wiki for porting and compiling source code, etc. because currently to learn how to port something you need to look all over, such as building a kernel, building that into a boot.img, etc. It's not too noob-friendly.

[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
It's a shame that this phone is pretty much going down as "just another phone" when it is really the highest end phone out there right now in USA.

Evo3D is a close second but compared to anything on Verizon, even the new Droid Bionic which has half the ram... Photon is the king of kings at the moment.

Not sure why SGS2 is so popular with its 800x480 resolution. But I guess the 800x480 SGS2 screen is supposed to outclass the 960x549 Pentile in the moto screens?!

I guess if I want any hot rom action I will need to jump back to Evo or SGS2... A shame.. I had high hopes for this phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mfriggio:
Thats great news!

Thanks...I will be all over it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mediawiz:
I have wondered the same thing.

ROM Manager still doesn't have support for Photon. This seems strange to me because the Bionic just came out, and they already have support for that device.

Seems like most of the developers aren't interested in Sprint devices.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] qwerty017:
Have you ever used it? Does it look like and work as well as the default email app?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MarkLuk:
I use Enhanced Mail on my devices (Phone/Tablet) for work emails/calendar.

The UI is not optimized for Tablet but nevertheless it works very well.

I synchronize email and calendar from Exchange and it all works well. Emails are pushed from the server when they arrive.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] henel321:
Moxier works well and is Tablet ready. Also has a PIN lock for the app itself instead of device lock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] manaskb:
I too use it as my primay email app, both for office email and gmail. When setting up exchange email it gives a option to not enable exchange policies. This helped me get rid of the PIN from unlocking the screen. I also like the unified mailbox in this app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] vrundmc:
These apps are so expensive. I think I would rather just enter the pin in. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] random_noise:
As a system admin of an exchange server personally I'd be annoyed that users were trying to circumvent security.

Although I don't know the full circumstances you're in, if you have a security policy in place its usually there for a reason. Depending on your workplaces IT policy (and how paranoid they are about data loss) you may also find that doing something like this is also a sackable offence.

I guess your major issue is having to enter an unlock code each time you want to use your device? As another poster has mentioned you can install an app which just uses the unlock code for the app rather than on your device. I personally use touchdown for exchange. It's got an HD version for tablets, works pretty well and doesn't cost that much.

Think there could still be some improvements to the tablet UI (the unlock screen is obviously a scaled up version of the phone version) but overall its worth it. I used to pretty much try to only use free software but have found its totally worth supporting devs by paying a few quid for a decent app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Bobsinclair25:
My interest is in having one program that can handle all of my accounts. I have two gmail accounts, a ymail account, a verizon account, and my work account through exchange. I would like to use the stock program through the tablet (Transformer) but it does not have the security. I do not mind the pin, I would like suggestions on a program that would allow the pin and allow the other accounts.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] qwerty017:
Fyi. Enhanced email is the free app of the day at Amazon.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
I'd like to be able to charge my phone via USB on either the laptop or desktop computers at work, but everytime I plug it in and only say to charge, the comp still tries to download drivers...which also means Boeing could be accessing my phones SD card data. I could have sworn there was an option after entering the MSL that allowed me to make it charging only. Any advice?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkasick:
Make sure "USB Debugging" is disabled on your phone. It's not the best to leave this enabled when plugging a phone into an untrustworhty computer.

Otherwise, when plugging the phone in it should prompt you to "Select a USB mode", and just press "Charging". The computer might see it as a Mass Storage device, but it can't actually mount/read the SD card unless you select "Mass Storage" at the above prompt.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
I have USB Debugging enabled, and I do click Charging Only but I still worry as to what the sneaky IT guys at Boeing still might be able to do since the computer is still seeing it as a device and trying to mount it vs just charging and ignoring the fact that its a phone, SD card reader, etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkasick:
With "USB Debugging" disabled, the phone presents itself just as a mass storage controller. But the SD card can't be mounted on the computer unless you explicitly allow it to on the phone, which has to unmount it from Android first before it can allow the host computer to see (and potentially alter) the SD card's contents.

With "USB Debugging" enabled, the phone presents itself as a composite device: the adb interface, a mass storage controller, and a UART (which isn't connected phone side). The behavior of the mass storage controller is as above, but the adb interface is trouble.

The issue is that the host computer can execute arbitrary commands as the shell user over the adb interface, including reading system logs (which may potentially contain sensitive information) and silently reading/altering SD card contents. Furthermore, if you're running a custom kernel, it's quite possible that the host computer can get a root adb shell without prompting, at which point it can do all sorts of nefarious things with your phone.

Again, "USB Debugging" disabled and "Charging" mode should be alright. There's no conventional way to access your phone content that way. But it does come down to how confidential your phone content is, and how much risk you're willing to tolerate. USB is a rather complicated protocol and I suppose it's conceivable that a USB host could exploit a client and run arbitrary code. Usually it's the other way around (a nasty client exploits the host).

If you really want, you could hack up a USB cable so that the computer side data pins are unconnected, and the phone side data pins are shorted. By doing so, the phone will charge (and only charge) from the computer. However, depending on how spec compliant the host port is, the phone might be limited to 100 mA, which is 1/5 the current the phone would normally draw.

Honestly, it's probably just best to bring your AC charger with you, or pick up a cheap spare for use at work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m5james:
I have standard wall chargers which pump around 600mAh into the phone (per Current Widget w/ settings at * and 2.18) while USB charging is only around 300mAh. Technically I'm not even supposed to have my phone on me, nor a I supposed to be charging the phone via extension cord or via USB on the laptop, but since I'm buried in here so much while using a laptop, USB will suffice to at least keep the phone charged vs the 26% I'm at now w/ almost 2hrs left in my shift while using a 3500mAh battery.
