[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moxlon69:
Wouldn't matter if you were using PDANet, Sprint's $30/month wifi tether, or any other wifi tether, 3g data speeds on sprint are sporadic, with a minimum advertised of 600k/down and a max advertised speed of 1400k/down, if memory serves. A lot of times, especially in the busy hours of the day, your speeds will be much lower on 3g.

Forgot to mention your ping time and upstream will also affect your lag on gaming like this. You can use free apps like speedtest (With your wifi shut off) to test your 3G speeds,

which will report ping, downstream and upstream. In my area, I average 400-700ms ping times, which is over a half second, on off hours (4am-8am) I can get very low ping times and fast speeds, but during the day, I get crap ping, crap downstream, and crap upstream.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
You cant use PDAnet on a ps3, as you need to install a client program on the ps3, which is impossible.

Like everyone else says, 3g is too slow to use to play online games. Even if sprint had decent 3g speeds (which it doesnt) the ping times to get to and from the tower and network are way to high, you will always have lag. If you had 4g coverage, it would be fast enough, but again, ping times would kill you compared to other people using cable modems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theline:
thanks guys very informative
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
I play cod,bf with my ps3 online everyday on 3g with very few issues using stock cm7.1 tether. I'm not even in a very good area. I only get 1-2 bars out of 4 here at my house.

Having the Nat type open isn't super important anyway.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] playerpatrick:
can this phone when unlocked get setup the google activation screen with any sim?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] playerpatrick:
please anyone, say anything
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
Probably yes. Unlock-process (with unlock code) simply removes lock and after it you can use any sim.

But...

Official ROM with Android 1.5 does not allow skip google activation. You need setup it at startup.

I don't remember what happened on Android 1.6

Official ROMs with Android 2.1+ can skip google activation to setup it later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] playerpatrick:
i said probably yes too.... but i would like to know anyone has actually got it working with any network other than t mobile or att with a unlocked phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] 5[Strogino]:
What exactly do you want?

Unlock-code will remove lock from T-Mobile. After that you can use any mobile operator's sim. Any GSM sim...

If you want use mobile internet, but phone does not know apn-settings for your provider - add them manually...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] playerpatrick:
thats exactly what i wanted to know.. thanks alot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMDColeslaw:
My wife and I both recently started getting spam adds in our notification windows. we havent downloaded anything new or anything and we're trying to figure out what app would be causing it. We both use Lookout security which says there is no malware.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpeeps74:
Maybe it's lookout security?! I've never messed with it but I believe with titanium backup you can freeze apps to keep them from running. Otherwise, i'm not sure. It's an app your both running though and probably not a standard app so that should rule out a bit. All you can do otherwise is uninstall apps til the ads go away. I'd most suspect a game, myself.

[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Okay so I wanted to make a thread to see how many other people have stuck or dead pixels on their Rezounds. Please list how many phones you have had to exchange, and if the issue has been resolved or not. I just want to see if this is a widespread isssue, and we can notify HTC.

Phone #1 - Dead pixel replaced at store

Phone # 2- Given in store with dead pixel (rep denied seeing the dead pixel)

Phone # 3 - After getting another in store and hours after leaving the store a pixel popped up in the corner of the lower right screen :/.

Phone # 4 - All is well.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
Mine has a dead pixel. It's red and in the upper right corner. You can't really see it during the day, but it sticks out at night. I already went in to the store and a girl working there confirmed that she could see it also(although she struggled). I decided to hold off for now though as I got it from Best Buy Mobile & have 30 days.
[HTC Rezound] FAUguy:
The 1st unit I tried did have a dead pixel right in the middle of the display, but the 2nd unit does not (I checked).
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Seems like this is a widespread issue. I do have until the 22nd (tomorrow) for my 14 days. Idk if I want to go back into a store and pray for a good rep that isn't blind and can spot the dead pixel that is sticking out like a sore thumb.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Has anyone used one of the pixel fixer apps on the market with success?
[HTC Rezound] SamsungVibrant:
Didn't Verizon say you have until Jan to return/exchange the phone if you purchased it on Nov 15th and on. Minus 35 restocking fee.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
I came form the RAZR which I pre-ordered and it shipped out on 11/9. So that was before they offered that promotion :(. So 14 days is counted out form the 9th, so the 22nd is my last day 8(.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
I tried something called Pixel Fixer 2.0.0 and Dead Pixel Detect & Fix but neither helped at all.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
The pixel seems to be vanishing for me slightly and slowly. I have been switching inbetween these two. Dead Pixel Detect and Fix and Pixel Curer. Dead Pixel Detect is full screen and Pixel Curer is section by section. Give em a shot see if they help your stuck red pixel.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Updated in OP. THREE Rezounds in a row with stuck pixels fail. I didn't have any defects with my RAZR :( just the fact that it had horrible battery life.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
damn dude, that sucks..that's some bad luck. i've got mine from day 1 and i've checked with programs and i have all my pixels fine. HTC must be made aware of these defects!
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Yeah it's very annoying the fact that I would get THREE defective phones in a row. I'm going to try a few pixel repair programs but I doubt it'll work. I don't know if I want to deal with the whole warranty exchange process again. But it is extremely disappointing a screen of that caliber will have stuck/dead pixels. I could wait to see if it gets unstuck, but the longer I wait the higher chances the device I get will be a refurb from warranty.
[HTC Rezound] Urban Strata:
That's surprising to hear. I've looked at dozens of Rezound units and have never seen a dead pixel. If you see this, please immediately contact your Verizon customer support to inquire about a replacement.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
This is the third unit I'm, brand new out of the box from the vzw store. It's always a "stuck" pixel, so far I've had one white, one green , and now this one is blue D:.
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Sounds like the same batch. Can you try a different store?
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
it might not be acceptable to you, but generally speaking on LCD displays, dead pixels are a reality and there is usually a threshold count on what fails and what is accept as "normal/pass" - its usually in the range of 3-5 pixels
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
We all know it's an HTC conspiracy... Don't put this on Verizon.

I saw the leaked photo showing HTC's "Dead Pixel" map for the US.

;P
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Been to three different stores

1 pixel on a 4.3 inch screen sticks out like a sore thumb compared to 3-5 on a 20 + inch monitor. Also it's not acceptable for Verizon either since they're giving replacement units. I doubt anyone here with this phone will accept a single stuck/dead pixel on their phone.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Happy to say that #4 was the charm! No stuck pixels/dead pixels :D.

Great, enjoy that new phone.

[HTC Rezound] bast525:
my first Rezound had about ten stuck white pixels. the store associate said he couldn't see them, but I told him straight out *I* see them and its not acceptable for a phone I payed $300 and two years contract for. They let me inspect a couple others in store and I found one had no dead pixels and took it. so far it has stayed pristine.
[HTC Rezound] michaelvibe:
Not meaning to hijack the thread, but does this count for phone service as well? I got my phone from Google, so I know I have 30 days to return the device, need be, to Google. Will I get a grace period of 30 days to cancel my service as well?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You got the Rezound from Google? Or what phone are you talking about?
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
the 30 day thing is the same as with Best Buy, 30 days to exchange phone, but 14 days for refund/service cancellation.
[HTC Rezound] michaelvibe:
The Rezound, yes
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
Just got my rezound today and I noticed a single dead pixel on the bottom right of the screen. I thought it was just me and I was being too anal. Glad to see this thread (although not happy to see this issue present for so many). It's bugging the hell out of me, I thought I can deal with it and just keep it but I will have to exchange it. I really like the phone though and I get better reception in the same areas than I did with the galaxy nexus. I'm going to try pixel curer and hope that fixes it.
[HTC Rezound] fbm111:
Mine was prefect and has remained that way so far.
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
Well I ended up ordering a new one. The stores in my area all acted like they couldn't exchange it. I think I'll get some store numbers and call in a complaint. I ended up calling customer service and ordering it. Coming tues, I have my fingers crossed hoping the screen is flawless on this one.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Mine is perfect and so are three we have at work.
[HTC Rezound] cordell507:
I don't have a rezound but this thread showed up on the XDA app but this app has fixed dead pixels on many of my devices just turn off screen timeout and plug in your rezound and run this app for 30 minutes may or may not fix but worth a shot https://market.android.com/details?id=com.htc.chris.blackspotdetect
[HTC Rezound] jordant2:
Tried it. Didn't work for me. Got my new one today, used this app to look for dead pixels and it looks like this one is a keeper. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[HTC Rezound] JeramyEggs:
A dead pixel, or a stuck pixel? I had 1 pixel stuck showing blue. Ran the pixel fixer apps, and it seemed like it didn't work. Ordered a replacement, and by the time the replacement got to me, the pixel unfroze, and have never seen it again. Sometimes it just takes awhile for the stuck pixel to get unstuck. Just for future reference.; )
[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
Yeah, I just noticed a dead pixel or two on my phone, but they're only visible in certain lighting conditions (dark ambience with brightness too high) or if I hold the phone incredibly too close to my face, or from certain angles..

I just got over it and now I never notice them, but if I try and look, I'm sure I can find them!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I'm not surprised, I'm guessing they consider 1 dead pixel out of thousands to be acceptable.

And I don't think many people have had this problem considering this thread is old and only 4 pages.
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
I seem to be in a little bit of a dilemma as I just noticed I have a dead pixel. I have 2 days before my 14 days is up and I'm not sure whether I should try to get a free new replacement or not. It's not really noticeable and it's black and it's hard to tell where it is without the pixel tester. should I be able to get a new free replacement?
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
If you point it out in the store, and the rep notices the dead pixel on your device. They should replace your device on the spot! Just make sure to check for more dead pixels before you leave.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
This.. but I'd say just call and have one shipped. Easier and less hassle. They don't even question it..
[HTC Rezound] graymonkey44:
Yeah, but I don't want to wait for shipping. It's Sunday so I'd have to wait at least until Tuesday to get a new one. This phone's been perfect except for that damn pixel, too. I'm a little nervous to return it because I don't want to have a phone with a more serious issue next.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] garfchong:
i am running xdandroid froyo 2.2 frx07 in my tp2.

just wondering did anyone experience the condition as what i meet.

i use the phone of my friend right beside me to make call to myself. i can listen from his phone the tone of calling... however my own phone did not ring and nothing was happened for about 20 seconds; after that then only my phone start ringing (some time a missed call alert came out).....

the same thing happen when i make call, my phone doesn't have tone of calling; but my friend's phone already ringing....

did anyone have the same problem? how to solve it?

appreciate for the sharing.....

thanks

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] FaluSeyi:
I observed the same issue with incoming calls, but never noticed it for outgoing calls. I know when a call is about to come in, because my phone will just go black first, then I hear the ringtone about 3 seconds after, then the screen appears after 3-5 seconds so I get to pick up the call.

Ditto. Incoming calls are difficult at best to answer, but outgoing is no problem whatsoever.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] zbisho:
I am experiencing the same behavior, i gussed it is performance issue with the phone app, but this is exeteremly annoying, however, wont stop me from using this rom as my main phone. Wish there was a fix though ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
I had incoming call lag in winmo, wouldn't ring until the other person had heard like 3 rings. To be honest, I haven't really checked the delay since switching to xdandroid.

FWIW, I reduced the delay back in winmo days by lowering the slot cycle index. No idea if that change would carry over into android or not. Or even if the change is still intact for me since I've installed a vzw update since I did that. Don't care much lately either, some calls I prefer to miss :rolleyes:

[Android Software Development] eep1:
Looks interesting. I'll try it out.

Edit: Kind of forgot my service is turned off.
[Android Software Development] FadeFx:
Sounds good so far, I'd suggest to produce a version that can be installed to system partition (for rooted devices) and stores its settings somewhere in a safe place (possibly system partition as well) so it gets factory reset proof. Also it should have a simchecker option so the owner of the device gets a notification if a new sim is inserted. This way it would always be possible to find and remote your device, even if a thief performs a fr and formats the sdcard.

Hope this is not too much to request, but i think this would make it the ultimate anti theft tool.

Will be trying this as soon as I have time(which might be long,but just sayin').Sounds reaaaaally good. :)

And because I see potential in this,lemme give you an idea.

There are far too many tools with which you can control (Parts of or the whole of) your PC from your phone,but for the opposite there is nearly nothing.The only app I found that allows for remote control of the phone from a PC is Webkey which,while good in its essence,isn't exactly useful.And it does everything over wi-fi only(Not bad for most but anyway).

So,an app that allows remote control of the phone from a PC in a proper manner is more than welcome and I'm willing to pay for it.

*I know Caesura allows for texting remotely etc,but I'm referring to real remote control,where you can use the phone as if you held it with your hand or something*

No matter if you do it or not in the end,I want to congratulate you for the effort. :)
[Android Software Development] FadeFx:
There is Droid Explorer, it has a screencast option to do this, but you need to be connected to USB.

I still need testers. It's not the same as the other app...it has quite a few more features.
[Android Software Development] TylerDurben:
if i undersand it right caesuara will send you my numbers and give you the capability to connect to my phone is that right?

If yes why should i use it?

If i missunderstand i am sorry for asking stupid questions *grin
[Android Software Development] Sun3vi1:
It sends phone number only (for usage tracking by area code...this is a beta thing only). Also, if you set a login password, no one but you can connect.

The only command that can be run without password is factory lockout. Let's say user abuses software and I am contacted by law enforcement: I can disable caesura remotely. That is all.

I've never released this app publicly and I was scared to death it would be misused and I'd be liable. See, all of my beta testers locally have been teens, and they have a way of using this stuff immaturely. This my way to cover my butt just in case ;)
[Android Software Development] Sun3vi1:
And no worries, if I really had any malicious intentions, I wouldn't have told you about the phone number thing would I? ;)

I recently flashed my SII to the insanity mod (054) and I love it.

OK ! Got it to work. I went all the way to making my own .apk but that didn't work...

You were right, the Beta works. However you have to uninstall the Swype you already (I used Titanium backup to uninstall it).

The problem I had was that once I did that, I couldn't enter the e-mail/password/code to even install swype. I had to download another keyboard in order to install Swype beta.

Hope this helps other people that have had the same problem.
