My bad. Didn't notice that ro.product.model= is in the build.prop twice.

I tried to cancel my account and sign up again and it didn't work. I have 50 now but had to use a different e-mail. :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
So when the new Razr came out for Verizon (cheese) curiosity got the best of me, so I went to check it out. Of course they tried to sell me on it, so I immediately, with chest pushed out, told them I had the fastest phone/4G speeds out there (SG2), and had no need for their gimmicky poop machine. They immediately responded Verizon's LTE will be way faster than TMO's HSDPA, and that our 4G was not real 4G. WTF? How much faster can you get, and I thought LTE being on old CDMA technology wouldn't even be able to come close? Did I put my foot in my mouth, or was that guy just an uninformed kook? I'm confused.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonathan3579:
You know their LTE is GSM-based, right? It has no similarity to their 3G network...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
The reps didn't know what they were talking about either. They said hsdpa which is different than hspa+. Their 4g isn't real either unless your over 100mbs it isn't real 4g technology. It just recently got acceptable to to say new technology for mobile wireless. Is acceptable 4g. Lte isn't really old either is hspa+
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thrashingdeth:
Lte is still faster than our hspa+ though

Sent from my telegraph on steroids
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mastapsi:
While true that LTE isn't similar to Verizon's 3G, Not sure what you are talking about, LTE isn't at all like GSM. Hell, it's not even like 3G UTMS. UTMS uses WCDMA and a non IP based protocol, while LTE uses OFDMA and IP. GSM uses FDMA and non IP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
The truth of the matter is that LTE is faster than HSPA+. Verizon's "4G" network is faster than T-Mobile's because LTE is a newer type of technology, yes both are GSM based but T-Mobile's HSPA+ is technically still a 3G GSM network that got a signal boost. LTE is a much newer type of GSM network which can reach much faster speeds, NO its not true 4G speeds of "100mbs" but I have gone into one of Verizon's stores in an LTE location to do a speed test on the Verizon RAZR and got 38mbps on their LTE. the fastest I have gotten on either my Samsung Galaxy S II or My HTC Amaze 4G is 22mbps (Both speed tests done in in Atlanta, GA). T-Mobile DOES have the LARGEST "4G" network because it coincides with their 3G network and it is very fast but not the fastest. You could have thrown out the fact that Verizon's 4G devices are overly priced and kill the battery faster than any other network even with all the "Juice Defener" type of applications and battery savers though :D hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dersh:
I rooted my Evo a while ago. Now I want to try a different rom and I am not clear about somethings. If the new rom requires a data wipe how can I migrate my data to the new rom?

I can use recovery to do a full backup then wipe and install the new rom. Can I then flash my old data back? Or would that not be considered a wipe? In other words does a wipe for a rom require all new data or is it OK that the data be "reinstalled"? Is the issue the actual contents of the data or the location in flash of the data partition?

If I can't use my existing data with a new rom is Titanium backup the only way to migrate existing data to a new rom?

Second, and related, is a basic question about partitions. If the size of a partition is fixed, at least at installation of a rom, then is there any benefit in deleting bloatware? If I install a rom that still has some sprint apps and then I delete one do I get that space back? Or is the size of that partition fixed so the deleted space is now empty but not available to my data partition?

Finally, if I install a rom that has new versions of an app is there an easy way to tell and to delete the version from data? For example if i have Google maps in data and then upgrade to a rom that has new maps how can I tell which is newer? Can I just uninstall the app in market, if the data version is older or the same as the rom?

Thanks for help with these basic questions.

I realize that I am missing a basic understanding of the "disk structure" of android. But I have not been able to figure out a good source to explain this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Contacts and calendar should be backed up to google, as long as they are "google contacts" and not "phone contacts".

Texts can be backed up with SMS Backup and Restore.

Pics should obviously be on the sd card.

Apps and their settings can be backed up and restored with Titanium Backup.

Using the above things, the ONLY thing that you should have to setup when flashing a new rom is: first, your google account, and then your homescreen layout and system settings. Keep in mind, Titanium will back these up for you, but this is NOT to be used to restore between roms, it is only to be used within the same rom. If you try to restore system settings and home screen layouts between roms, it will mess up the rom.

No, as that would defeat the purpose of wiping data in the first place. I know it's a pain, but you NEED to wipe data when flashing roms, if you dont you WILL have many problems with the new rom. I've got it down to about 20 minutes from flashing a new rom to being fully set up again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bekarhoo:
Been trying it for two days, says no software update available..Does anyone know if this has been pulled back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djrbx:
When I called AT&T about the update, I was told that the new update was only for selected devices that needed it based on the IMEI. Don't know if true but doesn't sound far fetched. Seems like only certain people have it while others do not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Ive been trying for weeks with no luck, when i called att the rep told me that i had to wait for the notification from att to show up, going to settings and update software wont work at all. So i was told. I wish we could get some solid information about what happened to our update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bekarhoo:
Yes, unfortunately or fortunately I had the update bugging me for 2 days, back in Nov. I had CWM recovery then, so the update failed, now of course it says that no updates are available. So I am not sure about the IMEI theory as I cannot get it anymore, as I went back to Stock recovery hoping I could do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Izmir Stinger:
When I was on the Samsung Moment they pushed an OTA update that was only for the first 1000 phones that downloaded it. They were using their customers as beta testers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jp712:
Sounds likely, esp with CIQ installed!

I got it about 2 days after getting my phone, then I had to flash back to stock with ODIN to 2.3.5, it now says no update aval. Not sure it's IMEI based...

Were there any noticeable changes anyhow?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
If you want 2.3.6 and you can't get the 2.3.6 OTA update, why don't you flash the stock 2.3.6 zip in the Development section using CWM? (posted by silver03wrx).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
When we called into Samsung last week about some browser questions (pinch reflow) we also asked about the update. We were informed it was pulled because of issues and to watch for further updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I received the update on day one...can't tell if there is any actual change in the device...other than the one-click riot methods NOT working. Which is really frustrating. Lesson learned: don't be quick to update.

Download a stock Rom and pull the png's out and add them to the zip of what your currently running and flash it again without wiping, or change them using ninjamorph (but that'll take awhile since there's so many images for the battery)

Really ? neat I had no idea I was using screen shot app I'll try now I knew Android 4 had built in screen shot but not this edition
[Desire HD General] ivicakc:
When I install skins from market, it is not showed in personalize->skins. There are only 3 default skins for HTC Sense 3.0. I've tried download skins from HTC Hub and that works correctly with no problems.

And I found out that all of NON-HTC skins aren't showed in skins option. If I install skin from HTC Hub, everything is OK, but when I install any skin for example from Android Market it's not showing in skins menu.

Can anyone help me
[Desire HD General] Drummansam:
You can't install 3rd party skins yet due to the m10 tools not being updated. I've been waiting a while...

There's also a swipe function built into the text app.

And I believe the pattern lock screen has always had a black background on stock roms.
[Desire HD General] andalism:
Even sense 3.0 skins????!!!

Sent from my Desire HD
[Desire HD General] Drummansam:
No. The recently released sense 3.0 roms for desire s and desire hd are a different resolution etc to the 3rd party made skins for sensation etc. Therefore they are not compatible and we have to wait for the m10 tools to be updated.
[Desire HD General] sistraw:
Not sure about the other stuff, but I can confirm that the pattern lock screen does not have a black background on my current (stock) rom. I haven't got the upgrade yet, so it still has the same background as the home screen.

[Desire HD General] Laatst:
Really happy with the built-in screenshot function, I personally do not want to root my phone yet, I will when ICS becomes available for DHD.

I've tried to use an app that does not require root for making screenshots and I couldn't get it to work. Also, I'm trying to limit the amount of apps on my phone so everything stays organized.

The only problem I've had with Sense 3.0 is that there seems to be less wallpapers (standard) on the phone, and when I killed the "people" widget along with one or two others, my wallpaper was reset to the colourful Sense 3.0 one.

After that, I couldn't find my dear wallpaper again.
[Desire HD General] AdamiX:
What a technology. We have downloaded new hardware :D
[Desire HD General] sistraw:
No problem. Will a vulgar photo do?

On Android 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1 (it's the 2.50.405.2 version for HTC DHD.)

The live wallpaper still moves on this screen too.
[Desire HD General] accesser:
Excellent news I'm not going crazy something did change :D

Perhaps its a bug that's been around for a while I wonder if the unlock screen does not like some wallpapers.
[Desire HD General] Reaveros:
Wallpaper no longer rotates along with homescreens, even when choosing wallpapers the cropping box is now set to the screen's aspect ratio.

Also, can someone tell me how Capcom hasn't sued HTC's ass yet?
[Desire HD General] MrKaon:
nice to see screen shot everywhere.
[Desire HD General] springy:
The black background is not a bug, it is just the way it works on all Sense 3.0 phones... Unfortunately... but if you are rooted, you can turn the settings back on using the m10 editor...

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Wallpaper no longer rotates because your home screen does not have a beginning or end.. so it would not make sense to have a scrollable wall paper.
[Desire HD General] Drummansam:
Ah yes. I have been proven wrong.

Fair enough. Well if you decide to update to 2.3.5, you'll lose the background and it will just be black (as my screenshot shows).
[Desire HD General] sistraw:
Certainly not a deal-breaker for me!

Also worth noting is that there's now an option for encryption somewhere.

One more thing - since this update I've had a LOT of updates for apps, must be the newer Android release?

Updates for LinkedIn

There are some bugs with those updates - at least for two of my apps (Translator and LinkedIn for Sense) the new updated notices are repeated every time phone is connected to HTC Hub - probably the version numbers are not correctly detected as I see that my DHD has the newest versions of both these apps already. Any ideas how to solve this?

Hi,

I have a problem with Galaxy Mini.

For some reason, the device doesn't want to accept the network, or vice versa.. I tried selecting the network manually but it still doesn't work, no service signal and the device status it says that the Network is Unknown.

I tried using 2g networks only, but still no luck. There isn't many settings to change, so maybe I thought something can be done by going into its system files and modifying something there manually...

I've heard similar problems that were fixed by enabling GSM only, but I have no idea how to do it on this phone..

Any help is appreciated!
