I also get very horrible 3G where I live.. I hope sprint starts fixing this or I will be jumping ship to Verizon or ATT.. I don't really care about C.S, I care about the reliable data speeds and coverage. Check out my results on 3G.. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:
Is that what it was?

I guess the announcement was wrong.

I could have swore it was a complete redo of every tower on the network adding more back haul, more range, 1x advanced, and LTE to all towers while actually requiring less towers to operate with actually more coverage.

I also thought it would allow for multimode functions to free up spectrum while allowing building penetration when needed. (I.e. no need to be at 800mhz if your phone is getting full bars at 1900mhz or 1600mhz)

I guess I was wrong.

Oh wait...

LTE is honestly the

least

important part of this entire announcement
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
That much is news to me. Thanks for the update. That does sound great and all. When is this supposed to happen? In a year or more? My data speeds suck right now. Sprint's track record is less than spectacular. Their "first with 4g" crap was a complete farce.

[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
Here is one hot off the press. I'll get excited when this garbage changes.

Supercharged yj
[HTC EVO 3D] mattykinsx:
This is something they've been working on for the last year [maybe a little longer]

Some markets will launch as soon as the end of this year.

The bulk next year and the remaining in 2013.

If Sprint can get this going even faster, this is a game changer. One of the technicians was talking to me about how they were seeing up to 120% signal (coverage) gain.

Previous estimates were still at 70% gain, which is still impressive.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
That would be great. I'm so annoyed at this point that I just use the Verizon prl when I need useable data, and don't care if they terminate my contract. I'd have left a while ago if they were not stringing me along with the 4g lie. I've since upgraded to a 3d and renewed my contract. My own fault for sticking with the dollar store of cellular providers, I know.

[HTC Wildfire S] mps83:
get rid of all the garbage bloatware on my girlfriends wildfire s. I'm in the UK, she is on the 3 network and the amount of rubbish that came preinstalled on her phone is insane, it makes the thing virtually unusable due to the amount of memory all this stuff takes up, I just want the basic sense UI and nothing else. ideally I would like to root it, but as I have never done it before I'm scared I'll mess it up and probably brick the phone, and as she doesn't have a spare phone that would land me in hot water. So....anyone know where I'd start? thank you ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] Aef 101:
Yes but you will need to root the phone.

Back up the phone using clockwork mod, backup apps with titanium.

If you don't root the phone you'll be stuck with the junk.

Don't be scared of rooting, it is a simple 2 minute process.

[HTC Wildfire S] mps83:
hi, thanks. Can anyone give me an idiots guide to rooting then? haha
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
it's in this handset forum search for it.

but first, you need to check if your device is locked (S-ON) or not (S-OFF). you can do this by disabling fast boot in settings > power. then turn the phone off and then turn it on again - but this time by holding power button and volume down at the same time.

it should tell you at the top of the screen if it's s-on or s-off. if s-off then you're set to start rooting, if not you'll need to unlock it first by buying an XTC clip.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Hello,

i'm having a lot of connection problems with my mini pro.

My wifi signal is worse than when I use my HTC Desire.

And it's almost impossible to get a connection to 3G (or EDGE).

The software build is .335, but can't upgrade to the newer version. Get message that no update is available. Are these issues that are fixed in the newest build?

Or is the antenna of the Mini Pro just really bad? :(

Grtz
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
hi there..

my build is 4.0.A.2.368

and wifi works perfectly.

AFAIK there are no issues about bad wifi in SK17i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Wifi works, but the signal is just worse than with my Desire...

And Mobile Internet connection is just extremely bad, can't seem to stay connected for more then a couple of seconds...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
mine is not worse than my asus seashell netbook concerning the signal ..strange
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Have you rooted your device/run a custom ROM?

Or maybe it is fixed in the newest build...?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] PoedelPCS:
unlocked, rooted, current fw, kernel by doomlord.

Unfortunatley I did this immediately when I bought the device. I cannot compare it to original stock phones ..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] swimon:
Thanks,

I'm considering rooting/unlocking myself, still got some reading to do first though.

Grtz!

Thanks
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
There are various links in my signature, they should all help.

Install the adb link by extracting it to PC and the install the HTC drivers then follow the last link flash Cwm and su which will install you a custom recovery and root your device

[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
Thanks. I have adb installed on pc from when I rooted an old wildfire s
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Great, let me know how you get on? or have any doubt...the only real danger is if you select the wrong recovery (you obviously need the DESIRE S one (saga)).
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
hiya. i did what it says here

To root:

Copy su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to your sdcard root

Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below)

Select "install zip from sdcard"

Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"

Then select "su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip"

Then select "Yes - install su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm

Then go back

Then reboot.

You're rooted!

i put the zip on to the sd card waited for phone it wouldnt let me go into recovery so it did its thing i selected 'reflash' an it said it couldnt open pg88diag.nbh which was a file that was placed on there when i did s-off using xtc clip i didnt have any other options to locate the 'su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip'

what am i doing wrong?

thanks
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Not sure what you're doing wrong. :confused:

So I'd suggest that you move any PG* files or any existing ZIP files from the root of the SD card (either rename them or move them into a new folder)

I'd also suggest that change these setting on your phone

Settings->Power->Fastboot = OFF

Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging = ON

Then follow these steps:

Power Off device

Holding down Volume Down, press the Power button to power on Phone (which should take you into white HBOOT screen) with skateboarding Androids!

Using volume down to move cursor down onto RECOVERY

Press Power button, which should reboot phone into CWM (recovery)

Then re-try the instructions that you've shown above to flash ZIP to get root

Report back...good luck
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
thanks.

one step further now due to turning fastboot off!

now it says ' failed to <something> vairify signature....aborted
[HTC Desire S] KCA.:
I used Revolutionary to initially S-Off and then root my DS. I used it again after I installed a stock ROM and lost ROOT

It's just another way to go.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Just so that I'm 100% clear:

You successfully performed this command fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img? (obviously substituting your file name for recovery_name.img)

Are you getting from HBOOT into CWM? and CWM appears to be functioning ok?

Is it on attempting the flash the SU ZIP file that you're getting this message or before?
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
You successfully performed this command fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img? (obviously substituting your file name for recovery_name.img)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

have not done the above (dont quite understand it)

Is it on attempting the flash the SU ZIP file that you're getting this message or before?

^^^^^^^^^^^

its when i attempt to flash the su zip file i got that message

thanks for your help
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Ahh..Do you have CWM (custom recovery) installed?

The command that you didn't understand would installed CWM custom recovery for you.

If you don't have CWM custom recovery what are you using to flash the Su ZIP file with?

My previous instructions contained the following steps, which if you didn't follow correctly could be reason why you are having issues now:

You first need to download CWM recovery image file for this device to your PC.

Put the phone in Fastboot USB mode (by following instructions below:)

Unplug USB

Turn the device off

Hold volume down button (HOLD IT) and press power

Hboot will start.

Wait for sdcard scan to complete.

Plug in USB cord connected to the computer

Press power ONCE and Fastboot USB mode starts

Then run a CMD shell from the PC and then issue the commands into it from the directory where you have put the downloaded img file.

fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-saga.img

adb reboot recovery

and then re-attempt to flash the SU zip file.
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
Then run a CMD shell from the PC and then issue the commands into it from the directory where you have put the downloaded img file

^^^^

thats what i dont understand how to do

i was looking about here on forum and found 'android flasher' i was wondering if that would do the job cos i dont know about cmd shell

heres the link for 'android flasher' http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638

thanks again dude sorry if im a pain in the a...
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
But, I would say that it's a great deal easier than you're thinking, I'm assuming that you're running on a PC in which case download the IMG file mentioned above and copy it to the C:\temp directory. I've never used that tool that you suggest so can't comment on it's use.

Put your device into FASTBOOT USB (following instructions detailed above)

Then select Start->Run with mouse and type in cmd (then hit <RETURN>)

or

select with mouse Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt and click

Either of these methods should open a command shell (CMD) window on screen

Enter the following commands each followed by <RETURN> into this window:

> cd c:\temp\
> fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-saga.img
> adb reboot recovery
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
does it have to go in c:\temp? cos i cant find it lol

can i just do it from C:\Users\jammy\Downloads where it is now?

thanks
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
in the downloads folder at the end it dont say img does that matter? it just says cwm-4.0.1.4-saga
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
It doesn't matter where it goes, so long as you set the directory from within the CMD session to that place so that the commands you run find it:

So run cd C:\Users\jammy\Downloads this instead of the cd c:\temp

The file is probably still called IMG it's just that your PC isn't showing the extensions (as that's how its configured). I just downloaded it myself on my PC and it's called file.img

So still type the commands as if its called file.img though
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
did that an i got this message:
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You need to install the fastboot EXE.

You must click on the link in my signature adb&fastboot download and then extract the downloaded ZIP file's contents to the same directory where the IMG file is currently and then re-try the command!

I believe that it should then work! :D
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
cool! so open adb folder and put it all inside the cwm-4.0.1.4-saga zip folder and then try again
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Open the ADB folder and copy the contents to the C:\Users\jammy\Downloads

directory where that previous IMG file should be.

Afraid that I'm off out now, will check on my mobile in a little bit to see how you're doing.

good luck!
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
i extracted the contents of the adb&fastboot and i put the folder in downloads an tried again nothing happened so i then tried to copy the files from the adb&fastboot to the saga.img file and i get this message
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
dont worry bout last post!

did that then got this error message
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:

can you explain in noob terms please

do i have to get rid of the cwm file in my downloads folder along with the adb&bootloader stuff? what are the cmds to use?

sorry for being a pain

thanks
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
Just download the zip from the link of my last post.

Put it into the same folder as adb.

Run the commands I posted previous, but replace clockworkmod.zip with the filename of the file you downloaded with extension.

When recovery is successfully flashed delete the PG88IMG from your sd our it will always try to flash it when you boot into bootloader.

You're no pain, everyone has to start somewhere, but most of the things we told you are described in a few other threads ;)

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Hello again, question for tectas (or anyone who is able to confirm):

Is this remote error caused as a result of him not having a ENG boot loader?

Suggested next plan:

1) Upgrade bootloader to ENG http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113820

2) re-try the fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-saga.img

3) adb reboot recovery

4) Then flash su zip

Should then be rooted, What do you think?

Hello, just did done reading to confirm my thoughts and I believe I'm right.

So follow suggested method above

Step one

Go to the link above and download the PG88IMG.zip file to root of your sd card then boot into boot loader, it should automatically apply just confirm.

Power off device

Power on while holding down volume down button

take a note of what HBOOT screen now says and post it back into thread for me

go into recovery

then flash the SU zip file from earlier

reboot and you should now be rooted.

So I'd suggest that you take a backup

Although now that you should have a custom recovery installed you should be able to download and install a pre-rooted custom ROM....so look in the INDEX thread which is a sticky in the development section and pick one, download and then install!
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:

huge thanks man :D :D
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
no worries, that's what the forum is about! glad that we got there in the end. :D

Word of advice now though read, read, and then read again....there are plenty of guides in the forum...

Don't do things to your device that you don't really understand and try to never pull the battery!

Take a full backup from the recovery now, so that you have a restore in case anything ever goes wrong!
[HTC Desire S] jammy2015:
i just have to install 'rom manager' to do that backup of current rom?

i would like to install a custom rom at some point

thanks again ben
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Yes, ROM manager permits a simple GUI to backup or you can drop into recovery (clockworkmod) and select the backup option.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] dabrain42:
Hi,

I just got a new TF101G, and I would like to transcode some of my TV records for the Transformer.

So I just went along using Handbrake and created a MP4 file out of my TS recording.

The re-coded movie has a resolution of 720x572 (that's the original size, I didn't changed anything in Handbrake). But when I play that using the stock app, the aspect-ratio during playback seems to be odd. I basically followed the settings on http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...onvert-video-transformer-using-handbrake.html.

What am I missing here? Is there any "trick" to re-code movies for the Transformer?
