Yup... this is fncking absurd. I understand, not everybody can afford to upgrade their phone every 3-6 months...but Sprint isn't going to leave anyone behind.

If it was Rev.B we wouldn't get "left behind"....everyone on advanced new phones chugging through data on Rev.B would free up (tons) of bandwidth for us. If it is LTE we wouldn't get "left behind" because just dropping support for something is unheard of in this industry...do you know when AMPS (Analog Mobile Phone Service) was finally officially removed from service? 2008...that's "1G" Service (2G is digital voice), started service in the US in 1983. Sprint was the first to offer digital service in like 1997 or 1998 IIRC....so it took 10 effing years to finally kill that legacy service.

Stop worrying. Even when they want to murder tech quickly it's nearly impossible...aside from everyone being concerned with their own tiny little selfish "me and my phone" bubble just step back and consider how as many as TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE would be potentially affected by it...and aside from your selfish little bubble that includes you and your new toy--which, for the record, I do think Sprint wouldn't think twice about alienating--I'm willing to bet that Sprint would like to avoid the backlash of millions of people.

I dunno...either that or you wasted your entire graduation gift money on a paperweight. Your call, really.

I would rather have decent 3g coverage in my apartment lol. A block south and there's awesome

Signal. Where at my apartment I barely get 3 bars if I'm lucky. Lte or wimax, I just want coverage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Torethyr:
We knew they were jumping over to LTE. However, they know they can't just go shutting down WiMax service--especially while still selling and releasing new WiMax phones. Don't worry lads, our phones won't be going unsupported for several years yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] churro7:
I just hope they expand wimax more
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
...I dunno about all that.

Though I'm not sure of Clearwire's plans. I'd check into that. If Clearwire expands then we'll probably get access to their network until the official EOL for their contract...which is probably measured in years.

Ok, that was weird my post disappeared or I edited it on accident daneurysm.

Here was the link to the latest news on Sprint's network. http://www.dailywireless.org/2011/09/27/sprints-lte-plans-leaked/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
I will check that out when I get time...though, I'm trying really hard to see the benefits of transceiving on the thin slices of WiMAX spectrum and somehow, for some reason, transcoding (?) that over the an LTE somethingorother....? For what benefit? It won't buy us any new bandwidth....

....hell, for that matter I'm still wondering why Sprint is switching to LTE....someone who is more familiar with Sprint and their LTE implementation I'd love for you to chime and and tell us why they are doing this. Do they have more spectrum they can allocate to it? From what I understand Sprint has a lot of good spectrum and that isn't the problem. It's A> What they have for back-haul and B> what their protocol of choice (WiMAX) is tested and certified/licensed for. Is LTE somehow different in this regard?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
good site for updates on sprint 4g - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sprint-4G-Rollout-Updates/257896107561168

as for why LTE.. LTE is better than wimax in just about every way. we the users will be seeing faster 4g speeds(at least double the current best wimax speeds) and better coverage. And this time.. Sprints in control of the rollout.. not relying on Clear.

There will be no more wimax rollouts. there may be random protection sites going up but for the most part.. if you don't already have wimax in your area.. you wont be seeing it. you WILL see LTE by the end of 2012.

What is Sprint Network Vision?

http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...og/2011/09/15/what-is-sprint-network-vision#/

Is there a simple way to see what phones will use this technology? I will be renewing soon(although verizon is calling my name) and I am looking at the Samsung Galaxy S and htc 3d evo. Thanks

Yes, I simply look for the phones that are able to operate on the 800, 1900 and 2500 frequencies. Both the EVO 3D and the Galaxy S II are able to take advantage of the network vision technology
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abrcrmdl23:
So yes sprint is building their own lte network, but it is supposed to be targeted to non Wimax cities at first, also Wimax isn't going anywhere the Wimax network isn't sprints it is clears and they aren't shutting it down. Also I like Wimax when I get it I don't need it very much and the technology is similar to lte, but you can turn it off for battery savings I would take that any day over a phone that lasts 4 hours on lte. And if the Wimax was on the 800 mhz spectrum it would be fine the problem is the 2500 mhz spectrum has no range and horrible penetration, plus since the network is clears it is setup

like wifi hotspots, and doesn't have the better hand off capabilities like the wireless networks. That is why it sucks but once sprints network vision tower upgrades with the combined spectrum, 1x advanced, and the enhanced backhaul is in place the network should be way faster even without lte that will just be a bonus. The mopho and gs2 will be more that adequate for 20 months till all this stuff gets rolled out.

I have searched for this myself and from what I have found there is no such app. There was one that looked very promising but it was abandoned. I am very surprised that nobody has developed an app like this yet.

that is my one big gripe with taking videos from my phones is the fact i have to transfer it to my computer to edit them vs edit then straight to youtube from the phone. i know the i*hone has it on its camera software and its really popular, im surprised no dev has taken the task.

I finally managed, after many attempts finally to get out, you can install this icon on the x10, and displays a button.

​

to install you have to be root and have xRecovery, so we'll have to restart the terminal and start the xRecovery, once on the main screen select Partition tools, and here we selected (which see) Mount/System and Mount/data , and we look Install customzip Install the folder where you have previously saved on the SD, installed, we went to the main screen and reboot phone, restarting will have to be the new battery icon and you're enjoying it.

[Focus General] jfreiman:
Now that Windows Phone 7.5 has been officially launched by nearly all the carriers my question is this:

Why doesn't Microsoft's "Premier Partner" for Windows Phones support 7.5's Visual Voicemail?

T-Mobile supports this feature and they play 2nd fiddle to AT&T regarding Windows Phones.

I've called people at Microsoft and AT&T and no one is able to give me any answers.

Does anyone else find this lack of support from AT&T troubling?
[Focus General] jfreiman:
I just received a response back from Paul Thurott saying that AT&T will be supporting visual voicemail on currnent and future Windows 7.1/7.5 phones. :)

BUT WHEN WILL AT&T KNOW THIS?!:confused:
[Focus General] Bjd223:
When you call ATT they do not connect you to the CEO, PMs, Engineers, or anyone else important.

You get a CSA. And CSA are not told anything ahead of time. If the feature came out today most of them wouldn't know about it to next month anyway.

Paul usually knows whats up as he knows some people who work at MS, and I assume they are high enough up to have an idea what is going on.
[Focus General] jfreiman:
No, I actually Googled all the phone numbers and talked with people in TX HQ. I'm very well versed on how these corporations 'protect' the people at the top of the corporate ladder. (6)

You are right about the CSA's each one had to look things up. They currently don't have the ability to add VVM to WP7.

Maybe at&t will just flip a switch someday and everyone will awake with vvm? :)
[Focus General] jfreiman:
Thurott now questions when/if Visual Voicemail will be released on at&t.

I for one was hoping they would announce it with the shipping of the new Focus'.

:-/
[Focus General] Rcf686:
When I bought my Focus S last week I asked the manager of the corporate store I bought it from about VVM and he said it was coming to ATT with the Tango update. I dont know if he knew what he was talking about but he was very well versed in WP7 unlike others I have spoken to.
[Focus General] Vintage144:
I spoke with Henry Thursolt ,Executive Vice President , he told me there will be no Visual Voice Mail on Android or Windows Phone 7 devices , only on Apple!!

How do get into recovery thingy? I have searched for the answer and have seen no mention of the exact step by step method. I think I have CWm installed but I'm not sure as I can't get to it. I also can't see my TF from win 7. This I have also searched for and there is no mention of it anywhere. I have plugged my TF into every audio port on my computer and it just won't recognize it. Which is the better Rom? I would like to know in case I ever get in the recovery thingy to flash a rom. How do I change kernals? Which is the better kernel? Do any of them support 2 Ghz overclocking? I have spent the last week reading the whole forum and have found none of the answers to these questions. Can someone make a video on entering the recovery thingy?

Hi Lucas,

This is a common problem reported on the Developers thread for the 3.2.2 update. Some people (including myself) who experienced the WiFi issue fixed it by first flashing to Hammerhead, then flashing to the 3.2.2 stock ROM. Make sure you use ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 R4c.

[Optimus 7 General] Arktronic:
Try re-branding it.
[Optimus 7 General] Arktronic:
Skype hasn't been released yet AFAIK. There are guides on how to make MP3s that can be used on Mango as ringtones, for example: http://wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jgar...-custom-ringtones-in-windows-phone-mango.aspx

Text translation is done from Bing (the search button) and then you select "vision".
[Optimus 7 General] sonus:
That's my next step, but I wanted to see if anyone with a registry de-branded phone had received an update already. So has everyone here gotten their update but me?

[Optimus 7 General] Arktronic:
I flashed a different ROM, so my phone went back to 7389. It updated to 7392 and got stuck there. So I updated it to the Mango beta via the proper beta provisioning app, and from there it went to 7720 + LG drivers.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyjm:
Hi guys

I have recently installed android 2.2 on my hd2. I am absolutely loving it.

The problem I have though is that it seems to take quite a lot of memory up in my phone storage memory. I cannot move maps, Facebook etc to the storage card. What can you recommend I do? I have about 20mb of memory free on the phone. The other problem I have is that when I link my phone to my laptop I can only see the storage card and not the phone memory?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
Well to your first question, there is always the option to do Apps2sd, most roms come with a TMOUS version and a EUR version. The latter usually is set up to move the data partition to the sdcard (usually set to 512mb-1024mb depending on what you prefer). I would suggest partitioning your card, re-flashing the rom you are using and then you should be golden.

Now as to browsing memory contents, you will only ever be able to see your sdcard. Android's file system is not viewable by a PC as far as I am aware, you can always use adb but that doesn't give you a full browsing experience.

You can always download a file explorer that gives root access, Root Explorer is my personal fave. This will let you browse your internal memory.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Its no good just saying "Android 2.2", that doesnt mean anything. When asking for help you need to give relevant info like which specific rom you are using.

For example if you have a EU HD2 which im guessing you do then 99% of EU roms will come with a option to use sd-ext which is a partition on your sd card. This partition will be used for all apps/app data etc instead of you nand.

Partition yoru card using CWR>Advanced. Set partition to 1GB and swap to 0mb, wipe data/factory reset, wipe caches and then flash rom again.

All right people I am not going to waste time by writing a long winded distorted post and I request only those to respond on this thread who are genuinely interested and capable !

Thanks for understanding !

Here goes .....

Who all of you like to read fantasy literature and science fiction literature ?? (Preference for those who like reading both more leaning towards fantasy literature)

If you like the works of JRR TOLKIEN , CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI , ROBERT JORDAN , R A SALVATORE , EDGAR ALLAN POE, JK ROWLING OR STORIES OF WARHAMMER MEDIEVAL UNIVERSE THEN PLEASE PAUSE AND CONSIDER UPON THIS THREAD !

Aside from that if you have college major in English or if you are pursuing your master's degree in English literature and have a good mind and interest for fantasy writing !!

Further..., if you feel you write god damn well and if you've had good reviews from your other friends and family about your writing then please apply !! You need not have the degrees but a good knowledge of the language a passion for writing and a liking towards fantasy literature ....

If you fit into any one of the above mentioned categories then please write upon this thread while giving some basic info about your likes and dislikes in writing and fantasy authors in general :)

Also once a few people have decided to stick to this thread I shall be leaving you with a PM of this whole quirky exercise in which you have all indulged into ! :)

In order to find a fellow conspirator ! ;) :)

To rest all ....

Do not clutter this post with unnecessary stuff till you don't have something really important to add to this thread and also do not ask unnecessary questions if you are not going to be a part of it !!!

Thank you for showing the initiative ....

Actually I want someone who can really get into a consistent frame of writing with a set mindset ...

And you need to be supremely well versed with mechanics of epic style fantasy writing alongside an insanely creative mind because most of the common fantasy books these days are based upon lord of the rings or wheel of time series !!

So think over this and tell me are you game enough for such an enormous task requiring time energy and maybe giving up some money and commitments probably?

[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
I sense several problems with that. I have been studying the works of authors for some time now, and I have came up with several observations:

1. Tolkienesque - is very bland and hard for normal readers to access.

2. Pratchett - Short and humorous stories with continuity. Parkinson's catching up to him and later books more profound than before.

3. Robert Jordan - bit off more than he can chew. Created too many characters and sub-plots with little to no resolutions.

4. Terry Goodkind - no continuity in plotlines. Overly simplistic and uses Deus ex Machisna too much. Also incapable of building suspense across books. Not to mention trying to force personal philosophy to readers.

5. Piers Anthony - too many books causes complete and utter lack of creativity.

6. J. K. Rowling - Naive and unwilling to experiment with characters beyond stereotypes.

Unfortunately, I have not been reading much lately and thus incapable of expanding the list of writers :p

What do you think about these writers? Note that I mostly take their negative points, because these are things I want to avoid as a writer.
