It will get better. Now MetroPCS has the LG Esteem 4g it is on their site now so soon they should have to upgrade the system to handle usage. I pay 50 a month with metropcs and i still like it better then the contract companies. Also i read today that sprint is no longer doing one year contracts more folks to metro? never know
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Metro is a headache to deal with if you have billing issues, but they're cheap and there's no commitment. That's always nice, but it cuts both ways. They can jack up your price whenever they want.

Contracts aren't solely beneficial to the provider. Sometimes they actually help the customer--I'm on contract for 2 years, for two lines, 1000 shared minutes, unlimited SMS/nights/weekends and 2GB data per device for $100.

It's cheaper than what we were paying for two individual Even More Plus plans (though we did lose 3GB of data). And T-Mobile can't change the price without breaking the contract.

My girlfriend has metro and we live in a city with 3g service. It's super spotty. Even in their most well covered areas, she usually still only gets 1x.

I have an version of the Motorola Voice Commands from the Milestone that works with every Froyo device. The files must be copied to your system folder.

http://www.multiupload.com/UZFFIM0BL4

But I am after a Gingerbread version.

Would be possible to port the Atrix Voice Commands (from nuance) to other devices.

I have no idea on how to do it, but I have some files from the Atrix.

http://www.multiupload.com/WN3BLWE1DU

I dont know if that files help much. I could not manage to make them work with my LG Optimus 2x.

Any help is appreciated.

I've looked everywhere but have not seen anyone with this particular tablet have this issue yet. I recently bought a 32gb PNY micro sd card, when I put it in the tablet says "sd card damaged", it says that I can format it, but when I click on the option nothing happens. I've tried formating the card in windows with multiple programs as well as the normal windows format, same problem... does anyone have any solutions, any help will be much appreciated

Update: it says it supports up to a 32gb card on the box, but i've been told that it only supports up to 16gb right now, Hopefully they will patch this tablet.
[Wildfire General] keith444:
I have tried searhing and I havent found anything like this, so I hope im not in trouble for asking...

Has anyone made or would like to make a custom sense rom with just a few extra apps?

The main reason I am asking is because you cannot access a file manager by downloading from windows to you sd card (you have no option to either download from Andriod Market or using the sync, which doesnt work for me)

Basically I looking for a ROM that is exactly like HTC Sense but has a file manager and a few other apps by default...

Like the ultra bright torch app and the you tube and Iplayer app.

You can alsways use roms that are already out there, but you usually loose the widgets the come with the stock HTC Sense, plus I miss the facebook streams.

Anyways, the main app it need installed is the superuser app and a good (free) file manager, anyone wish to help or comment?

Also, my phone is rooted with the HBoot 001 version, and I have heard roumours that if you upgrade to 2.2.2 then you can no longer root your phone, and since i am getting into hacking and rooting the widfire, I really dont want to loose the functions!

I hope this will start a healthy thread, as most of my threads dont!

Thanks, Keith
[Wildfire General] darkstep:
you can sideload apps from windows to your phone using sideloader machine for example
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
- If you are on HBoot 1.01.0001, you already are on Android 2.2.1 (There is no 2.2.2). While official 2.2.1 was not rootable some months back, after the release of AlphaRev / Revolutionary, it is possible.

- Apps can be installed via ADB also. One such guide is here:

http://voxigee.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/using-adb-to-install-applications/

And a Video Tutorial here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27HIDvjdUFM

- Also, Stock Froyo ROM with Superuser can be found here: (Get the Rooted Version). After you install this, you can install the File Manager using the guides above.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877977

- Lastly, for such a simplistic ROM Creations, you can use the DSIXDA Kitchen to cook a ROM yourself. Its easy, and you can add and remove exactly what you want.

I just flashed MIJJAH74z KINGED PYRAMID 3D PORT followed instruction just as posted. By the way not my first rom flash, but I do not get an option to sign in to Google. Is there some thing Im missing?

1) data reset

2)Wiped all cache

3) flashed format all zip

4) flashed rom

Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
I would try to wipe cache and dalvik cache and run fix permissions from recovery. If that doesn't work try a reflash wipe everything in recovery except sd card and battery stats see if that works.

I hope that helps I haven't been on that ROM since it came out but it should have a gmail to sign in to.

You might even want to try to flash gapps from an aosp ROM but I've never tried that so IDK how that will go.

ok i wiped everything but sd and flashed cm7 gapps and still nothing. any other thoughts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
Before you did that did you try to first just wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions , did you just try to only reflash the ROM.

Maybe try a new download you might have a bad download.

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster, so please...go easy on me as I'm still trying to figure out the lingo and what not!

Anyhow, I just recently installed V6 and everything is absolutely great - except my battery goes down faster than <insert whatever reference you want here..hockey goalie, boxing, sexual>

I initially tried flashing over V5 and that's when the issue started - V5 was fine the way it was, but was starting to eat up the battery a little quicker - maybe due to a couple of new apps installed? did a full wipe and reinstalled v6 and am experiencing the same issue

I don't know if it's a problem with my actual battery or what...anyone have any suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
Fully charge the battery until the green charged light goes off then reboot into XRecovery and wipe your battery stats.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
Alternatively, there's the battery calibration app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prodigy:
Alternatively, build your own stock ROM. Wolfs ROM has IMHO too many uneccesary tweaks that drain the battery... although his performance ROM has awesome battery (I'm using it right now)... lol I dunno why..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ynkamat:
Well its tough to explain u, but use set cpu and reduce the maximum processing speed to 384. The battery will be consumed to the lowest. I have done the same. And my x10 works for min 1.5 day.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung Wei Lo:
I installed the ROM with a full battery and after the first thing I did was use the battery calibration app

did that :(

You know, I just might do that...I just gotta find a guide or how-to to do this...I'll let you know my progress...in a few years

um..I have no-frills cpu - figure it's the same, or is set cpu a better app?

max clock freq is at 998Mhz; min at 245; governor is at ondemand (gotta read up on this..) and i/o scheduler is on deadline..should I change any of the other stuff?

thanks!

I use juce defender plus and if needed I could go a couple of days without charging.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabbit Stew:
Not sure if my problem is the same but my phone WB v6 (even on v5) will turn off when used heavily i guess (less than 5min video games seem to be ok but other apps will do it randomly). but the battery will say like 65% whatever it should be from the use so far after a reboot most of the time i have then same % as before the umm crash but sometimes it shows 25% and turns off then if i leave it for a bet i get back to the higher % but will still crash with a little app use. Frustrating as i LOVE the ROM!

So far no crash during phone calls. But the crashes are no rhyme or reason. I have tried calibrating and full flash but it came back.

(would have posted in the ROM thread but i have too few postes and this seemed a better place)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ogbert_theNerd:
Hung Wei Lo: which version are you using? Try lowering min frequency, adjust settings (like brightness). I'm on v6 with Freekernel and I get 2-3 days on a full charge. Maybe an app is preventing your phone from entering deep sleep.

Rabbit Stew: are you overclocking? Try a full wipe including battery stats, then installing v6s. The stock version should be the most stable.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lythanhlong:
Here's two methods that work for me.

To me the battery calibration app, is USELESS, no offence to the developer.

1. Wiping battery stats: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=943626

or

2. Optimizing battery with just a charger and phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071885

Don't go anymore then 5 tries.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung Wei Lo:
I figured I'd give an update on this..

Things had magically sorted themselves out - battery life got better and better each day, though not to the point most of you are getting (I'm talking MAYBE 14 hours of minimal usage - the odd facebook check, random text message etc)

As suggested, I've set the min. frequency to the lowest possible, screen timeout is at like 30 seconds

As of the past couple of days, I've been getting half that...no new apps installed all the same settings...wifi is off, brightness is set to 25%, no gps usage all I have on is data. As an example, I charged her up and unplugged it with an hour to go before I was done at work. an hour ride on the subway doing nothing but listening to some tunes, and I'm down to 60%...in two hours :(

I'm at wits end here...according to cpu spy here are my most recent stats:

998 - 0:01:49 - 35%

576 - 0:00:-4 - 1%

384 - 0:00:03 - 3%

245 - 0:00:52 - 17%

deep sleep - 0:02:11 - 42%

thoughts (related to this issue)? suggestions? ideas?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Have u any adb experience?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
downloads the Android sdk. Install to c:(makes things easier in the long run) once installed download fast boot to the

Tool folder in the sdk folder. In windows start search for "cmd" right click and copy, past inside the "tool" folder. Open it from the tool folder. You're are doing this to make it easier. Your directory in cnd will be set already to the correct directory, something like c:/sdk/..../tool/

Download the fastboot imgs in tools folder. Open cMD from tool folder. Then type your command to send the imgs u need.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
thanks for the tip, ill try it out now ill let you know how it goes

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

naturally it seems as though the phone will not charge now so when i run the first command it holds on the waiting for device screen
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crxlvr:
So after many failed attempts, it seems that I am failing for my battery not being fully charged as I got an error saying battery low, phone >fail, so i think that is my issue. I will try to use a battery only charger and use the fastboot flash method and will report back when i learn something.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] runandhide05:
Yes, to flash anything u need battery charged, the problem is that the OS needs to load to charge the bat, do if your phone is soft bricked ur in a pickel, I hear u can swap your bat for a charged one at vzw.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
If you fastboot the boot.img and system.img you can successfully flash without a full battery. Takes all of 5 minutes.

Just saying. :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] karthakon:
Or you could pick up a standalone battery charger:

http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-89508N-Battery-Charger-BIONIC/dp/B005C31FIG

That one comes with a battery, I'm a pretty heavy user so it's nice to know I have a fully charged battery waiting for me when I get home from work :cool:
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mikecheat04:
How are you doing this? I'm running Ubuntu and when I run:

./fastboot flash boot boot.img

I get this reply:

sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... FAILED (remote: Battery Low)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
I have done it 10+ times.... I'm not sure what the tolerance is for fastboot compared to RSDlite, but RSD lite kept failing when I had a VERY low battery. What I did, was have everything ready for fastboot, pulled the battery, put it back in, and plugged in the wall charger. It opened up with boot errors of course. I let it sit on the charger for about 5 minutes, quickly unplugged, the USB from the WALL, into my laptop, and hit enter on the fastboot, sent and wrote, same with system.

I don't know if it didn't have time to read the state or what. But it worked.

:)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mikecheat04:
You the man DroidTh3ory! I tried this with my standard battery and it didn't work, it was totally freakin dead. As soon as I'd unplug from the wall it'd turn off. Luckily I still had my extended battery that had just enough charge to do the job. It copied over the boot.img and system.img then did the clear cache/data and I got the damn battery low error again. Pulled the battery, put it back in, plugged power in from wall, switched over to PC and did the command again and it took! Now I'm back up and running. Gonna root and do a nandroid backup and keep my standard battery fully charged and in a safe place in case this ever happens again!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidTh3ory:
Glad you got it!!.... You have summon your inner Ninja but it works. Lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] robotsforeveryone:
It really took all of 5 minutes. Somehow I goofed and soft bricked my Bionic. My battery was at a miserable 10%. Luckily I have an extended battery and I was able to use the fastboot method. Worked like a charm. Thanks! :D

None of the instructions on fastbooting mentioned the need for the AdbWinApi.dll to be included in the fastboot-images folder. So I'm mentioning it now. Otherwise you'll get an error asking for that particular .dll.

"Last annual upgrade on Premier Gold

Good afternoon,

This is Jose Nunez with the Sprint Premier Team.

Thank you for posting your questions and concerns in the Premier community forum!

The answer for this question is yes. Current Premier Gold customers who upgrade tomorrow (or prior to 10/2/11) would qualify again for an upgrade in 12 months (that they would be able to use before 12/31/12). After that, they are going to qualify every 20 months under the New for you Handset upgrade program.

Thanks

Jose

So to sum this up, if you upgrade now you'll get another 12 month upgrade. If you wait till after Oct 2 your moved to the "New for you program" https://manage.sprintpcs.com/specialoffers/RebateWelcome.do which lets everyone upgrade every 22 months.

I for one was going to wait till mid Oct until I read the above quote.
[HTC EVO 3D] poloboogie:
WHY IS IT that gsm development is so far behind in every thing, I know the kernal hasn't been released but that still has nothing to do with status bar tweaks, themes, and any other mod. I'm not blaming or bashing the devs. Cause I need them more than they need me. Just wanna some insight on why were so far behind

Sent from either AT&t gsII, or 3Vo GSM
[HTC EVO 3D] renzo.olivares:
cause most of us have purchased cdma evo 3d's not gsm
[HTC EVO 3D] poloboogie:
Damn that's sucks
[HTC EVO 3D] Reeonimus:
The evo 3d GSM hasn't even been released in some countries yet so it's behind because there aren't that many devices out there compared to the cdma. Patience is key.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Actually, far more countries have the GSM than the CDMA, as very few carriers anywhere in the world still use CDMA. The two big exceptions are Sprint and Verizon.

The main reasons the GSM is behind in development are that the EVO line is incredibly popular on Sprint, and so many people have upgraded from the original EVO 4G to the EVO 3D on that network, bringing the EVO 4G developers with them. Also, HTC screwed up when they posted the kernel sources for the GSM and the board files cannot be compiled. So until HTC fixes the problem (they have been made aware of it) there's only so much GSM developers can do.
[HTC EVO 3D] justj:
Because the board files on GSM kernel are missing, as a result there is no custom kernel.

ps. I think HTC knows the problem a while back.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Yeah. A number of us have bugged them repeatedly about it (I tweet their Twitter feed daily). They have acknowledged the issue and are working to get fixed kernel sources up for us.
[Nexus S General] Dvin211:

"Hi xxxx

This is Clarissa with the Premier team.

Thanks for your patience. We received clarification that Premier Gold customers using their eligible annual upgrade before 10/2/11 will have one more annual upgrade available to be used by 12/31/12. If the annual upgrade is used on or after 10/2/11, that line would then be moved into the New for You program to be upgrade eligible every 20 months. In your situation, if you used your annual upgrade on 9/16/11; you would have one more annual upgrade available to be used by 12/31/12.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks,

Clarissa"
