I wouldn't wonder, lol...

...it won't be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rfeagan:
dang. I live in Omaha... no WiMax 4g here. 3g has been adequate but declining as of late.

Given Network Vision, etc, is there any chance that a software update will make my new ET4G compatible with Sprint LTE? Or is that hardware/antenna restriction?

Verizon has LTE here in Omaha already. Did I just sign a new contract with the wrong carrier?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
We can (and will) gain benefit from offloading people from our spectrum and onto whatever spectrum that there is that we (might) not support....and hopefully Sprint has a plan for back-haul, as that is most of the problem anyway.

I dunno, it depends....with Verizon's LTE you can burn through your data cap (at the 2gb first tier) in minutes. With Sprint you have (conceptually) unlimited, but, might not ever get fast enough to hit 2GB in a month. If that's the case then, yes, you signed with the wrong carrier.

...but, if you do the math, chances are you made the right call. Will you impress your friends? Lol, probably not. You might even get made fun of. But you can also keep that data connection maxed out constantly and you can rest assured that you will have the lowest bill out of any of them...and barring the most absurd circumstances (international roaming...where there is CDMA) your bill will be the same every month, no matter how much you max out your connection.

Now, if you can't get a youtube video to play at all or stream pandora or a shoutcast station? Sprint is unacceptable in your area...but even now that Sprint is worse than ever (they were hands-down the fastest carrier in the area on release day for my OG Evo4G...downhill from there, but, can still stream pandora and get youtube in a reasonable amount of time).

Weight what is most important to you, make the right decision. It might be painful but it will be obvious.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rfeagan:
Will "offloading people onto LTE" be a local network phenomenon, or a national phenomenon? IE, is it "tower by tower," or a nationwide network load?

Since I can't imagine that Omaha is high on the list for Sprint LTE initial rollout... my question becomes: if 1000 people go from using Sprint 3g to using Sprint LTE in Kansas City (200mi away), does that make my 3g network in Omaha get faster (less load)? My guess is this is a local phenomenon-- load should be considered "tower by tower", not nationally?

EDIT: Because if its "tower by tower" and Sprint doesnt rollout LTE in Omaha anytime soon, then my best hope is that other Omaha area sprint users jump ship for VZW in Omaha, and leave me more room on sprint 3g around here. Am I thinking correctly?

As previous poster mentioned, when I bought my OG EVO 4g, 3g was plenty fast, nearly 1Mbps on speedtest in most places, now I struggle to get 200-300kbps. Still, Pandora works, mostly.

Maybe my solution will be to carry around a Verizon LTE hotspot in my back pocket and habe my ET4G on wifi all the time, ha!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Sadly, yes, your estimation is likely the most correct. It will be a local phenomenon. It's a radio/waves/physics thing.

Unless their back-haul line (the lines connecting the tower to the internet, essentially) is super ****ty there (which is unlikely, Sprint is a backbone operator) or there are a massive amount of "Extreme download/tetherers" then the amount of people who are offloaded won't be significant for a while....Omaha probably isn't way up there on the list.

so, if tower saturation (quantity of users) is the issue....there is probably no relief in sight for a year or 3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] speedy0339:
Official Sprint Answer:

Sprint is committed to delivering the highest quality network experience. Our Network Vision plan will improve your network experience, but it does not include any EVDO Rev B launch. Sprint has evaluated EVDO Rev B and chosen to go directly to 4G connections. Since we are not launching EVDO Rev B, none of our handsets supports EVDO Rev B.

It looks like maybe no Rev. B after all. Hopefully they'll push 4G LTE and keep going.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
Given that it doesn't even take a high school diploma to score a job as a cell phone sales rep, and being a commission-based job is going to inherently attract at least a certain number of, shall we say, questionable-integrity personalities on top of it...

...I don't know why people on this forum keep posting quotes from "I talked to my local Sprint sales rep and HE said..." as though they just witness Moses receiving the 10 commandments from God.

If there was EVER a person whose word to doubt (well, second to anyone involved in sales/service with your local cable company), it would be "your local cell phone rep".

Just saying.

Definitely seeing to much "My rep said so. So there. Bam."

No. Seriously.

I can't see them doing away with unlimited data, IMHO its why they are upping all the other fees.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
They are NOT doing away with unlimited data. I KNOW that.

However down the line ...tiered plans will slip there way into the Sprint ecosystem....with unlimited costing more. I know that too.

[Defy General] pixelodin:
ok guys i have found a way to fix the problem you dont need to change the speaker but in worst scenario you might have to change it if this does not work it worked for me just blow air in the earpiece with your mouth very hard few time and dial a number to see if it worked it should fix the problem i was going to change the earpiece with k850i but it just came to my mind lets try this and it worked hope it helps some of you please leave a comment if it worked for you or not:D
[Defy General] azeed:
well when mine died I did the same as you... worked for half a day more then died again and forever....
[Defy General] jh20:
so....even if this works, you do this every time after having a call with a dead earpiece? lol....

why have a temporary fix when you can have it fixed properly, permanently, and free of charge (warranty)? good luck to you once it's out of warranty :)
[Defy General] Angelus47:
Fixed my wifes defy for less than $5 and 20 minutes time replacing the earpiece. Temporary fix can't beat that in my book. Can't even tell she ever had a problem with it.

I have the new facebook app but for some reason i dont see any pictures, just gray squares, this happens on both the app and the stock browser and dolphin browser.

I have cleared Data and Cache, and it helped a little bit, i now can see the persons default pic but as for photos they have posted i still get gray squares.

does any one else have this issue? or know how to fix it?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EfemaN:
Everything is working fine on my phone, and I haven't seen any other reports of it. I suppose you could try re-installing the FB app, but if it's happening in the browser too, the issue probably lies elsewhere.

Do a full re-install of your ROM? It's silly for an issue like this, but I imagine the problem will be difficult to pinpoint.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Sometimes it's actually just the connection. Sometimes my 3G won't load the pics, and switching to WiFi immediately fixes it. Just my connection probably.

Hi,

I've been having battery problems for several weeks now. With what i consider very light use, my atrix barely makes it through a workday. I've been trying to track it with Better battery stats because it looks like i'm getting stuck in Wake locks very often.

The biggest offender for me is a Process called AMGSyncService. The small text under it identifies it as com.motorola.blur.music.Music

does anyone know what this is, or how to make it stop keeping my phone awake? i have seen little to no information on amgsyncservice when i google and search for it.

ANYONE

know what XML file I would have to edit in the Facebook for android apk to make the text color of the app widget white?

-Meaning if you have the FB widget on your homescreen, usually the background is white and the text is black..ish. My background is now black and I want the text to be white instead of black...ish.

I can read the text, but it's quite annoying. And no, I do not want to go back to a white background if that was your solution = )

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
There are many xmls to look for. Check the values folder under color or drawable. Or it could be in layout under appwidget

free the dirk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgarzonjr:
Yep, well I looked in there, but I wasn't sure it was the right spot to change the color since I kept seeing #ff000000 instead of #000000 which after extensive googling, I found out the ff is the transparency and the rest is hex. Ok so that makes sense now.

So for ANYONE who may want to know this... first decompile the apk so you can edit the xml color in values\drawable.xml and then compile apk AND THEN edit your res\hdpi files. Otherwise it doesnt work. This was the case for me anyway. I could be 101% incorrect, but this is the way it worked for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
Yeah that is correct. The ff is transparency and also correct that u can decompile apk do ur XML/smali edits then recompile and do ur PNG edits.

[Motorola Droid 3] Cappurnikus:
I hope this is the correct location for this question. I've had my D3 since shortly after its release. All was well for about a month, then it started overheating.

I got an app called OS Monitor which allows me to check the temp of the battery. It will commonly go over 110 degrees while just sitting in my pocket. The problem is intermittent but can last for days.

While it is overheating the battery drains very quickly and only charges about 10% per 2 hours while hooked up via AC Power. I also have started having signal issues that only occur when it is overheating.

Below is a small part of some error messages I found in OS Monitor and I don't know what they mean. If anyone can help me with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long thread.

[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
Looks like the cpu voltage is constantly higher than it should be.

Try doing a battery pull and with the battery out, hold the power button in for 10 seconds(this drains the capacitors charge in the phone, so this might clear out something that's not behaving properly) I'm not sure that'll help but give that a try.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cappurnikus:
I'm sorry I forgot to mention this with my original post... I've replaced both the phone and the battery and the problem persists. The problem is seemingly being caused by an application. Is there a way for me to diagnose which app is causing the problem? (if thats the case).

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid 3] mkultramega:
Are you using the camera? Mine does this if I don't reboot after taking photos / videos.
[Motorola Droid 3] Cappurnikus:
Unfortunately I'm not. I've done a battery pull, replaced the phone, replaced the battery, factory reset. It must be an app doing it, I just don't know how to find it.
[Motorola Droid 3] erismaster:
When you factory reset did you let google restore your apps or you do that manually?
[Motorola Droid 3] Skurvy_Pirate:
I just got my phone replaced today (3rd time, 2nd due to this issue) because it apparently overheated. Both times it started bootlooping, then it just refused to power on at all in any way. I have never had a phone die that way, but this is the second time.

This time behind the battery looks like it started melting or something, I will try and post a picture of it. The Verizon guy asked a lot of questions about it overheating, even blaming my case when I said it was off when it happened (I was running and it doesn't fit in my armband with the case). Then he asked if I dropped it, lol. Anyways, I asked if he had ever seen this and he said yes, but not with the Droid 3. I have a hard time believing I am the only person he has seen it happen to but it has happened to me twice.

At least I am getting a new one overnighted to me tomorrow, but I hope overheating doesn't become a problem.
[Motorola Droid 3] 05gsxrk5:
i dont know if this will help but i installed a live wall paper and i did not like it so i went back to a pic and the phone was still slow. i downloaded cpu usage app and it showed the live wallpaper was using 50%-55% cpu even with it not set as my wallpaper
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Yeah I watch the temp of the batter with Elixir app icon, i've been testing camera mods and have seen high temps sometimes reaching 37 degrees when I've crashed the camera app, almost zero cpu activity during also.

An app will indeed cause over heating in my experience.

Generaly mine is around 25 to 30 degrees during the day and use, nights goes down to 21 degrees.

[Motorola Droid 3] Cappurnikus:
I manually re-installed my apps.

I think 30C is about the lowest the temp of mine goes... which is fine. The problem is that it will intermittently shoot upwards of 40C while idle.
[Motorola Droid 3] lunacie:
Sounds like you've got bad hardware, should definitely not be doing that. If you reset, and did not restore apps via google, I think that's the only remaining suspect.
[Motorola Droid 3] whitefolks33:
I think it is the whole dual core setup since the Droid X2 over heats badly I had so many and it just kept happening. I got a droid 3 and mine over heats when surfing and cam as well as good old texting. It is just gonna be a matter of time for the Bionic to start over heating moto needs to get everything stragiht so there phones arnet like samsung and be a pos. I have tried the extended and standard battery and have gotten replacements and when it comes to the, Moto dual core phones the problems still happen....
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I don't have any problems with it overheating at all. I think it must be something running your cpu up. Can you see which apps are running and post it here?

For some reason, Virtuous Unity keeps crashing on me randomly even with a clean setup. It also likes to search for books for a really long time before giving up. I've converted all the partitions to ext4 and changed the hboot. Maybe I've missed something or is that rom still considered unstable? I've been using CM7 nightly for a while and was looking for a change from the norm.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oVeRdOsE.:
Before I got some crashes. That was because I was installing batterymod% in the same time.

..using youtube to display their work? I made a video today using an app called 'Screencast', and from finding the app to posting the youtube link on XDA took less time than creating a display image. Not to mention the benefit of people seeing the work in motion!

I'm just curious really; as we have hundreds of pages of screenshots with very few videos. Screenshots don't capture transition animations, or selection highlights etc, when the phone is actually in use.

Here's my example so that you can see what i'm talking about:

http://youtu.be/nbjwQS3pDao

I'm only using a single core device so using the app does slow down the UI somewhat, but a dual core would be perfect for this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
They're either shy, don't like exposing themselves, can't be bothered, don't have a camera, just don't want to, etc. There's no one answer to this. It does allow more exposure and a better experience. Also allows more understanding (to the viewer) and other stuff which can help people since they are actually seeing everything in "realtime".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
No camera needed. This app and others like it are for screen caps. No audio so it's not like a full blown video review. It's just showing off your homescreens and customizations but in moving pictures.

The same effect could be had by using a gif editor i suppose but you either have to start with a video anyway, or a bunch of screenshots. The method i've used is so simple and fast i'm just curious as to why more people aren't using it!

'Show of your homescreen' thread? Embed youtube demo.

Simples, no?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Yep, pretty simple. Maybe it's just not "advertised" enough. As in, people don't know of it. But more will now...

I'm a self-confessed n00b, and that was my first youtube upload. (yeah, slow learner, right?) It took ten minutes from thinking of the possibility, to finding an app, making the vid, uploading it and then posting it!

With my skill set, or lack thereof, it takes me longer to come up with the usual 'display picture'. i.e:

All the best launchers like Launcher Pro or ADW EX have options for how to handle selection highlights. I always run into the nightmare of finding a set-up i like, only to end up hating it every time i select a shortcut! I can't be the only one? Static images don't show how people handle issues like that. ADW EX at least allows a fully transparent highlight so that you don't see it at all. Not all Launchers do though.

Perhaps it's only me, but when i see somebody's glorious creations, i think 'hah...how does it look when you click on that shortcut/widget..?? In a video you can see how! :)
