[HTC Incredible S] PHMT:
Looking for a good ~4" Android phone not carried by AT&T. Considering the Incredible S from Bell for unlocking and use on AT&T.

Anyone using this phone on At&T 3g? I won't have a 4g plan (so I assume I may not get 4g speeds), but 3g is good enough.

I actually don't use a lot of data even with a smartphone (average 400-500MB/mo) so I keep the less expensive dumbphone data plan.

If being used on AT&T what plan? Is AT&T making Incredible S users upgrade to a smartphone plan?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] wpscully:
I use a Bell Canada HTC Incredible S (from GSM Nation) on the AT&T network. I previously had used an AT&T HTC Aria. So the switch was easy.

I do think you need a minimal data plan to use any so-called smart phone on AT&T. I rarely use the mobile network and have not yet exceeded by 200M limit. When on the mobile network the Sense status says "H" and an up/down arrow. I think that means 3G.

I'm very satisfied with the HTC Incredible S. I have successfully unlocked and rooted the phone but as of yet not installed an after-market OS.

I did have to manually add the AT&T APN information to properly use all the Incredible S features. These notes may be helpful:

The H stands for HSPA, which stands for High Speed Packet Access. This is faster than 3G, but not quite 4G which is HSPA+.
[HTC Incredible S] PHMT:
Thanks wpscully. If you had the HTC Aria then you are most likely on the 200MB smartphone plan in which case there would be no issue switching to the Incredible.

I am on a old grandfathered "Medianet" data plan so sometimes there can be an issue switching to a smartphone that AT&T will actually recognize as a smartphone.

Since AT&T does not carry the Incredible S (or a version of it) I don't think there will be an issue, but wanted to check if anyone here already had any experience with it.

When I try to flash CWM, I get a signature verification fail error. I replaced the recovery binary but it still won't work.

I am using this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1139326

Does anyone know a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
The link is broken... Have tried to Odin one of Dr Honk's kernels?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Eraser310:
The link is working again. It looks like that kernel needs adb to access recovery, which I haven't been able to get to work. Do you have any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you just trying to get it into recovery? If so, do you have the Android software developer kit (SDK) installed? The SDK includes the adb binary. Download it, install it, then open a command prompt, cd to the 'platform-tools' directory where the SDK installed, insure your phone is on & plugged in via USB, and issues the command: adb reboot recovery.

If I'm off-base with what you're trying to accomplish, my apologies.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Don't use a KFx rom, the KF1 and KF2 versions of Gingerbread were really buggy and will give you more trouble than they're worth. You're better off flashing Octane, Valhalla or ICBINB which get updated frequently.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Which also means that you need to flash a KG4 leak or newer for the proper GB bootloaders. If not, you'll get a rainbow screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] apodictic:
Similar Problem

Hey Guys,

I had a similar problem. I am using Fire Expert to overwrite the new recovery to the \system\bin folder. However, I realized my mistake was that I did not mount as r/w. After I did that though and I held the volume up, down and power, I stay stuck at the initial splash screen and can't go into the stock recovery screen. I can't boot regularly either; I have to Odin recover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Overwriting the old recovery and putting the update.zip file on the sdcard for CWM Final was for Froyo ROMs only, not Gingerbread (GB) ones. What ROM are you currently on?

In order to get into recovery since flashing the GB boot loaders I have to:

Power off the phone

Hold down Volume Up, Volume Down, and the Power button

When the Galaxy S screen comes on, wait a second, it'll get a tad bit brighter. When that happens let go of only the Power button

Wait a few seconds and you should be in recovery

Sounds like you might be a bit goofed at this point, though. If you were on GB before I'd suggest using one of the ROMs in bhundven's The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection. The last one in the list will also give you root, CWM, and voodoo lagfix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] apodictic:
Hey. Thanks for the quick reply.

I am currently on Froyo, Kernal version 2.6.32.9.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Weird. All you should have to do is put the updated recovery in /system/bin & put the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.

What is the current state of the phone? I know in the previous post you said you would have to use ODIN to recover. Did you do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] apodictic:
Yes I did use Odin to recover. I did it following the link provided in the sgs4g 10 commandments. This is the second time I recovered. After I recovered he first time, I tried the process again and the same thing happened: stuck at the initial splash screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Which step in the 10 Commandments did you follow to recover in ODIN?

What's the current status of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] apodictic:
This is the Odin tutorial I used.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1001759

Also, I am not too sure what you mean by the current state/status of my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Just wondering if your phone is currently working or not. I wasn't sure given that you reflashed with ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] apodictic:
Yes everything is fine right now. Lucky all of my settings and apps were still there after following that tutorial.

Perhaps file expert doesn't work?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I've not used it but if it allows you to mount /system read/write, then it should work fine as long as you're putting the 'recovery' file in /system/bin & the update.zip on the root of the sdcard.

If you try it again then reboot into recovery, what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] UKemal:
can you help me ?

my xperia play literally cant flash at all i go to recovery mode and try to install a rom but it aborts it and says signature error ive tried around 5 roms what shall i do please some one help me

No its not. The radiation from cell phones is non-ionizing. You're more at risk from cosmic rays.
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
Like burtcom, this is not right. If you've taken a basic quantum physics course or knew anything about electromagnetic radiation energy, you'd know this is totally false. Please do not scare the misinformed by spreading nonsense.

I have a Master's in Physics, and therefore, I am fully aware that a cell phone broadcasts on microwave frequencies, just like a microwave oven, basically a weak microwave oven :eek:

now if you want to put a weak microwave oven right up next to your brain or any other important body part, you just go right ahead and do that, lil' buddy!

as for me, have always used a professional broadcast quality wired headset, and always will (it does get some looks, though, I look like a sportscaster on Monday night football - lol)

[/QUOTE]

Again , its not ionizing, so its not going to cause any molecular damage, which is what most people are afraid of.

It may heat up tissue a bit, but only a little. Sitting by a cozy fireplace or drinking a hot coffee will heat up tissue more than your phone will.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WTF?:
Ummmm.......a microwave oven works by passing non-ionizing microwave radiation as well, and you should see what it does to cow's brains, which I am sure are fairly similar to ours.

Your post could cause someone draw the conclusion that a cell phone is a different kind of radiation than a microwave oven, but shockingly, this is NOT the case.

I will keep wearing the wired headset, and when they figure out for sure that these things cause brain tumors or whatever, I won't be worried, cause I don't put them next to my head, never have!
[G2 and Desire Z General] c00ller:
you purposefully edited out my edit, not really fair :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] CCpotter:
Is that real? why are there so many scientists warn people to not put a cellphone too close or not use cellphone too ofter for its radiation?
[G2 and Desire Z General] burtcom:
You are not understanding -- its a question of scale. A microwave oven has a hell of a lot more energy packed into it. Your phone is causing a minute level of heating, and only at the surface of your skin.You are getting a lot more heat from standing in the suns rays than you are getting from your phone.

Further, the max amount of energy output from your phone only happens when your are actively using it. In standby mode its much reduced.

If you are honestly afraid of the effects of your phone on your brain, then you should be just as afraid of standing outside, because that is heating the surface of your brain more than your phone can.

Besides, your original post was about keeping your phone in your pocket -- well that's not going to do anything to one's gonads at all since no pockets place a phone right next to one's privates :)

phones cause no damage to semen or any other tissue in your body anywhere near that of the sun or cosmic radiation.

laptops have a effect on your semen because they can get hot on your lap enough to heat up testicles to the point where semen is killed but people also turned that into a "wireless myth"

people have been using mobile phones for far to long and far too much to care if it does enough harm to you or a cow for that matter. people live under pylons and dont complain about cancer in the same way.

lets say it does effect our brains and skin tissue..... unless your on the phone for an insanely large amount of time in your life, your cells do reproduce and repair itself...

I keep that in my left front pocket on trousers usually, and then I have the phone itself in this shell case:

I really like this shell because it clips in the middle (so does not obscure phone closing fully or keyboard opening). Also doesn't block GPS signal at all, I get 10 satellites even indoors and 12 a lot out.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Alfawolfsqwd:
Okay, so I'm lookin on the T-Mobile website and in the features list it says there is Trace and Swype. I looked around a little on the web and couldn't find much about Trace. It almost sounds like a replica of Swype. So could somebody like fill me in what it is. Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
That pretty much is sums it up.

I, for one, hate it and installed Swype. Trace has a white keyboard and I prefer the darker tones of Swype. On Swype if you hold down the backspace key, it auto deletes the last word, where as trace acts as a computer keyboard and goes letter by letter.

Trace was decent and quite accurate. Of the other third party keyboard apps I've used, I'd put it #2 behind Swype, but after adjusting the accuracy/speed ratio, Swype is still is better IMHO.

Basically what it means is that there is no Swype license with your phone any more.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Alfawolfsqwd:
Thanks so much for clearing that up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vvveith:
Swype is still king!

Swype is much more advanced than trace. Swype let's you adjust the trail left behind when you swipe letters whereas trace the line stays until the next word, sometimes get's hard to see where the letters are. IMO, Peace, V:)
[HTC Amaze 4G] clickityclank:
I've never used swype but with trace on my phone, the last word stays highlighted until you start the next word and tapping the backspace key while the word is highlighted will delete the whole word. Seems to work well for me.

Again, trace on my phone does not exhibit this behavior. As soon as I'm done tracing the word, the line always goes away.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MikeASU09:
For me, it seems that Trace is a tad more accurate than Swype.

The one thing I do miss about Swype is being able to double-tap a word, and choose a replacement word. Trace just highlights the word for you, requiring you to delete the word and then re-type a new word.
[HTC Amaze 4G] going_home:
TouchPal Keyboard

I like the free TouchPal keyboard I got from the Android Market much better than Swype.

Been using it for over a month now exclusively .

And I was a die hard beta Swype adopter before Tmo started putting it on their phones.

;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
That's pretty good, I hadn't seen it before. I'll have to give it a little longer to see if I like it better, but it's definitely a great alternative.
