Wow... I couldn't pass that up either, that's craziness. What dl speeds are you getting on sprint? Doing some window shopping now in case the merger goes through.

Sent from my LG G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] herzzreh:
It's funny how this works. I dumped Sprint for the same reasons. Their network in my part of NYC was yuck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pottyvick:
I dumped sprint too for T-Mobile about 2 weeks ago. Their data speeds were crazy slow in phoenix.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grenademasta:
Yeah I dumped Sprint earlier this year. Couldn't stand the thought of paying $10 extra a month for "smart phone fee" that used to be called "4G" data fee. Of course my city doesn't have Sprint 4G so you could understand how I felt about that bogus fee. My Sprint 3G download speed at home was 100-300kb per sec. I am getting 7-8meg per sec download with Tmobile. I also got 1 bar with Sprint at home and I get full bars at home with Tmobile.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Ya my buddy on sprint with his nexus s sitting right next to me gets 1.2mb down and I get 8mb down during peak hours he wasn't too happy with his choice either. Best wishes to the OP, how is epic touch, SGSII?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dev_man77:
Thanks folks, I only get 1.2Mbps here inside on 3G. I read everywhere that sprints 3G is slow but it sure beats the heck out of 128Kbps to where I cant even use Pandora while going for a jog. I can still watch youtube and stream netflix and all ther other stuff just fine. T-mobile has no support in my area whatsoever, Best Buy Mobile carried their phones here for like 8 months and just dropped them all last week and picked up Cricket of all things... I did like HSPA+ here in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis / St. Paul) I pulled like 5 down but I was with my friend that just got the LG Revolution and he pulled 12 down which was pretty nuts.

The SGSII is pretty sweet, Its living up to the hype I gues. Its really speedy and the screen is nice. I used to have a Vibrant before the G2X and everybody knows how crappy the GPS was on that among other things which is why I was leary on getting another Samsung. I have run GPS test side by side and the G2X never gets anything below a full green par and 6.1 foot accuracy, and this SGSII took alot longer to get to the 6.1 foot accuracy and didnt lock onto half of the satellites the G2X did and the signal strength was less than half. Aside from GPS I think the SGSII wins in every catagory, it takes amazing phones, I just wish with this huge 4.53" screen that the resolution was better but its hardly noticeable.

I was going to hold out for T-mobiles variant of the SGSII but it doesnt have the Exynos and I was never going to see the 42Mbps ever around here anyways so I had enough of not using internet without wifi. I also kind of wanted to see what teh Nexus Prime was going to be like but it seems like every phone that ever comes out has some sort of huge problem with it especially the G2X and first gen galaxy S phones. And who knows if the Prime is going to have some sort of defect. There are no major hardware problems reported of the SGSII so far and thats all that mattered to me. It has everything I need. I would assume there is going to be ALOT of support for this new device since all the first gen EVO people are probably getting an upgrade soon and want it and there have boon tons of people coming from the Evo 3D because well.. that device blows.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Well it seems that all of samsungs new phones are based off of the galaxy s design in some way or another so you would have to think that with each iteration it gets better. I'm sure the prime will be a beast of a phone. I felt the nexus s was outdated before it even launched
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
damn i should start buying from BestBuy too...That's a helluva deal!

I was a Sprint customer for 6 years...and was using the Evo before i decided to go to Tmo. Sprint started charging extra fees out of nowhere...it got pretty crazy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dev_man77:
Yeah their insurance is WAAAAAY better too. I highly suggest it. Its like $2 more than sprints but i can smash the phone weekly without question and they will replace it with no deductible no questions asked.. now that I think about it HAHAHAHAHA I gave them my G2X with MIUI running on it, they never even bothered to check it while i was in the store. They probably messed around withit thinking it was some phone from the future. I miss MIUI :( Touchwiz sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] herzzreh:
My main reason for dumping Sprint was because in summer of 2010, I got 2mbps on evdo, in August 2011 I was slower than edge. The 10 dollar fee didnt bother me too bad, but then they took away my yearly phone subsidy. This broke the straw.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] traumajeff:
Not to be an a$$, but did you research sprint lately? They've made tons of changes to their policies and terms. Not to mention, their network took a big hit with alltell (I think it was theirs) towers being sold off. Their 4g partner clearwire is courting other carriers, and their new 4g partner is having trouble clearing the FCC.

There's been a lot of people leaving lately! I'm sure this can be found with most carriers, but sprint doesn't have anything concrete for the future!

GL! Hope all goes well for you!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] babymatteo:
That's why I left Sprint...freaking charges out of nowhere...they said it was statutory fees...x3!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seangprice:
I made the switch from AT&T to T-Mobile because of service and monthly cost. Good for you if Sprint offers better service in your area.. after all you want your moneys worth. I doubt sprint has the better network between the two though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcaf77:
i left sprint for tmobile because of all the changes and because slow 3g
[HTC 7 Pro] Xodium:
Just wondering, do we have an IRC channel set up anywhere? I don't seem to see one on freenode anywhere (where most of the other XDA-related IRC channels seem to be set up).

If there isn't one, should we make one? It'd be nice to talk about WP7 and the Arrive without getting mocked constantly by all the iOS and Android users. ;)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
I have only done this for 2 days so it is hardly scientific but I noticed that for some reason when the infuse is at home on wifi it won't stay asleep. It divides the time between 800mhz and deep sleep. When at work it will stay asleep probably 95% of the time while on wifi. The signal strength is about the same according to wifi analyzer. Is my router chatting with it more than work? Neighbors wifi signal competing? I am stock and rooted just last night. The next thing I planned to do was load better battery stats to try to see what is eating up the battery at home. Maybe change the channel? I think work was 6 and I am using 11. I also noticed if I turn wifi off at home and use 3g it uses less and stays asleep.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] d0wngrade:
It does sound like some interference, I would try changing the channel on your router to the same as your work's. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
I think I figured it out. Apparently my android devices hate WEP. I know I shouldn't be running WEP but my neighbor is running open so I figured people would go after him first. Anyway after changing to open or WPA the infuse and transformer both sleep about 80% of the time with wifi always on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Wrong again! All was fine until I added my other wireless devices back. The android devices then went back to not sleeping. Searched xda and it appears the dlink dir-655 that I have tends to do this. Strange thing is that it behaves as long as my windows computers are not connected via wireless. Any suggestions on a router with gigabit ports?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Netgear WNDR3700.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Thanks. I saw this one on newegg but the last 10-20 reviews weren't great. I assume you have or used it? Are you using stock or alternative firmware?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Stock firmware. It works well, has great coverage. I currently have three in use here at the house (fairly complex linked setup for auto failover to two ISPs and bridging) Never a problem with any of them.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Sounds like Netgear finally got their **** together. I've had many Netgear routers plagued with wacky firmware problems like shutting off DNS access because it decided the computer was infected with malware for requesting DNS too often. (affected 3 completely different Netgear routers).

However even if the stock firmware gives you problems, I believe the 3700 is very well supported by DD-WRT. I'm running DD-WRT in access-point-only mode on a 3000 or 3200 right now (I forget the exact model, it's not a 3700). As soon as I bother to buy some antennas it's getting replaced with a Ubiqiti Rocket M5 though. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Thanks I assume you have some windows devices hooked to them as well? Like I said the dir-655 works great until I fire up the laptop. One other report was some HP software is constantly polling so i will try to delete all that and maybe a few other settings but most threads have no solution.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
Linux, Mac (Lion and Snow Leopard), Windows (Vista and 7), iPad, iPhone, Android, Wii, Samsung BD, Sony BD, Slingbox, all connected and functioning.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Can you set DTIM on that router? Just curious what it was set at on that router. I fiddled with that on the dlink but couldn't find a setting the tablet liked. It got better but never went to sleep like it should.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rxnelson:
Thanks for the recommendation. I swapped out this weekend and have seen greatly improved sleep when I leave the devices idle.....over 90%

Had an issue with attached devices list being blank. There are a bunch of links on the internet about it but no solutions. For whatever reason it just started working 2 days later? Anyway, so far so good.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] picopir8:
Is there a way to customize the Power Control buttons in the notification pulldown in CM7? When you add a widget to the home screen, it asks which buttons you want for the widget but that does not affect the buttons in the pulldown. I could not find the option anywhere in the settings screen but perhaps I missed it.
[Nook Color General] NCKevo:
Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Interface > Notification Power Widget > Widget Buttons

Yea just a few menu clicks in.
[Nook Color General] picopir8:
Thank you, I knew it had to be there somewhere.

Hi, i recently flashed miui rom and it was good but i wanted to go back to synergy rom. In the process, i flashed and it said installed successfully. However, it stood on the boot screen and just froze there. SO i tried another rom and it did the same thing. Then i tried another and it still didn't go. The only rom that seems to flash and work is MIUI rom. Any explanations on how i can fix this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_apa_n:
Re flash a pc36img of ra 2.3, then wipe EVERYTHING except the sd card. That should work, if not I'll post what I really had to do to fix it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamazz:
clean out your sd card first, and then at the rom you want to flash. wipe everything off. and then try it. if you have 2 many things in your sd card like roms. it messes with the flash of a new rom. it happened to me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
You can try this superwipe zip just flash it before you flash the ROM its made by virus it will wipe any old files you don't need off your sd card and do all the wipes for flashing 3 times for you.

You still want to do all the wipes your self also.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dash_Skeezy:
I flashed the new amon ra and it stood at the boot screen again. I even did that superwipe but no luck either :( Do you think that ill need to unroot and root again?

Hey,

I want to revert back to stock 2.3.4 but I want to keep root and clockwork etc, so anyone know where I can get a stock 2.3.4 flashable zip?

Right now I am on CM7 latest

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
i found this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061648

if i download this rom from the thread:

GRJ22 OTA (stock vanilla - odexed, unrooted):

http://www.mediafire.com/?shsmauak48b8hc4

MD5: 3B2B7B0BAAAA803365A573FC3864A150

is that the original stock 2.3.4?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
anyone?........
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
The mediafire one is linked to a stock 2.3.4 that is deodexed that is still unrooted. If you want to read up on what deodexed means, check out this article.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/

You will still need to root this ROM.

In the thread, the top link is "stock" 2.3.4 but rooted and deodexed (along with the other things he mentions in the thread).

Basically, you have two options. Use PASSIMG to get your phone back to stock and update to 2.3.4. Then, if your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a custom recovery and flash one of the many su.zip files out there that give you root access. This will truely be a rooted stock 2.3.4 install. If you want the easier route, use the link in the thread you referenced above.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I built one about a month ago for someone who wanted the same thing, but I'm struggling to find it...

EDIT: I've just thrown something together, if you still need it? Basically, I removed the stock recovery from the GRI40 and GRJ22 updates, so that you can flash them without losing recovery. You can then flash the su zip, and you will be updated, with root...

Tested, and it works...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jboxer:
The OTAs were just updates (about 5mb) from previous versions so there is not stock full system zip. You would probably need to flash stock 2.3.3 then you can flash the 2.3.4 update. Now there is also a 2.3.6 update that is flashed from 2.3.4.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erniemac:
Danger-rat,

please can you upload it.

I currently have 2.3.3 rooted somehow :S and it keeps FC sometimes and the default music app cant read my songs... but rootexplorer can. So i want to get a clean rom see if it all works. and ofc keep recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
As noted in the thread, this is something I've just thrown together. It's basically the full GRI40 update, and the GRJ22 update patch with the stock recovery and recovery restore scripts removed from both- this means your custom recovery will not be over written.

Backup your apps (Titanium, or whatever)

Boot into recovery.

Make a backup of your current ROM

Do a full wipe

Flash GRI40

Flash GRJ22

Flash the su zip

Reboot

Restore your apps...

/edit just figured it out i think. gonna give it a shot.

/edit2 i think i screwed it up, i was trying another stock rom i found and it seems to have done something, so i cant run my apps and do an app back up, which is no biggie from what i remember it just takes AGES to re-download. and set up settings etc. also no rom back up atm

but as long as i get back i hope its ok

[HTC Inspire 4G] porfymartinez:
So i'm selling my Inspire and I'm wondering what precautions I should take to clear out my personal information. I'm rooted and the seller wants to keep it rooted so what should I clear out. I'm also keeping the SD card.:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Just boot into recovery and do a factory data reset.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
Just wipe it within the rom ^ that will give you no rom at all
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Wiping it from recovery will leave you with no ROM as mentioned. Not a good idea.

Just do a factory reset from settings > sd & phone storage. That is the safest and easiest way. All personal info will be gone.

Edit: ignore what is underlined as I am completely wrong
[HTC Inspire 4G] enewman17:
Wiping data/factory reset in recovery does exactly the same thing as the reset in the rom. It only wipes the data partition. The rom is on the system partition. So the rom will still be there after the wipe. I would also wipe the cache and the delvik too.

Sent from the handheld device I can't put down
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
correct........ factory reset from recovery does NOT wipe out the rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I stand corrected and bow to the more knowledgable. I ASSUMED that was a full wipe unlike the factory reset in the "sd & storage" and the bootloader. I learn something new everyday. *Foot in Mouth*
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
^ditto I only because after accidentally doing that I can never boot but whatever lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] porfymartinez:
I planned on keeping the SD card, but wouldn't that screw up the root?

Device: HTC Inspire 4G

ROM: Virtuous Unity 1.31.0
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pirateghost:
nope.

root is access to /system

its a binary in /system/bin or /system/xbin depending on your rom.

superuser.apk should be in /system/app, if it isnt, it can be downloaded from the market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] porfymartinez:
Awesome, I do have SU installed so the buyer can buy a new one and it not mess up a thing?

How about Titanium Backup. I use that to back up all my apps. Will he be able to access my apps after i restore it and take the SD out?

[Motorola Photon 4G] coachclass:
I've had the phone for 5 days, and I've gotten about 5 restarts.

It happens when I'm doing something. Playing with ring tones, playing a poker game app...

Just wondering if it's happened to anyone else, and if it's hardware or software related.

EDIT: 9/29/2011

I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now. The past week, I've not had any restarts. Don't know what's changed. I think there was an OTA update about last week. I"ve been using it as much as I had been - web browser, angry birds, email, etc...

Oh, about last week I also re-seated the battery. Don't know if that does anything, since the battery seem like it was seated fine. But someone recommended it. Could just be a fluke.

So, one way or another, the random restarts seem to have solved itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bogiemaker:
Me also

Had mine for about a week and has rebooted at least 5 times. Phone seems to hang and then rebooted.

I am coming from an EVO which never had these problems. Thought about trying a Samsung or another Photon
[Motorola Photon 4G] tuxytuxy:
Yea, just yesterday when I was using my flashlight app for a few minutes. It has mostly happened when I used the led flash as a flashlight. It doesn't matter which app I use, it just restarts sometimes.

And also when I was playing a game today.

Had mine for over 2 weeks without any random restarts
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:

[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
I have had mine for over a month also and have had one restart..... but then again every phone I have ever had restarted on its own at some point. By far this has been the best phone yet.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mkeller:
Had restarts and a few lock ups everyday. Got a replacement and no issues since.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
None for me after 3 weeks.

My EVO 3D used to do it once in a while when it would lose a signal.
[Motorola Photon 4G] coachclass:
Those who don't have random restarts hardly at all...are you installing apps and using the phone fairly heavily?

I'm wondering if this is a hardware of software issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cornelious2:
Try re-seating your battery and make sure the back is on good.I was having the restart issue and it ended up being that the rep that initially started the phone up didn't put the battery door on correctly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
I have a lot of software installed and use the phone heavily, I am running stock unrooted rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IP IHI II IL:
Exactly. I've only had one random restart, after the OTA, but I chalk it up to the heat wave where I was working. Poor Mo-Pho got up to 119 degrees.

I would also suggest a factory reset and wipe of the internal SD, a lot of times the testing of each phone before they're put in the box can cause issues.

Pew! Pew! Pew! From my Mo-Pho!

What do you think?

I am really so pissed how is that you see only good comments on this phone and no body mention this known issue on thos youtubbie crappy videos...

I cant believe that I paid good money for this phone and I am not the only one with the issue. Sad thing no body know if this is HW or Sorftware!

I have no problem fixing the software... we really need the hackers spending some time debugging this issue.

Ive had my phone for about a month, probably had 7 or 8 restarts total since I got it, two in one day during the first week but it seems better after the second OTA update. For the past two weeks I've only had two restarts. Each time it restarted I was playing angry birds and had let the phone got to sleep while in the middle of playing. When I woke it up it restarted. Sounds software related to me. Im rooted but not unlocked. I love this phone!
