[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
Ok, I seem to be mistaken, I just looked at my Nokia N900 and i'm in an area that does not have 3G...

My Nokia N900 is on O2, and it says full signal for 3G... But my Atrix says full signal for 2G, now I know the nearest mast is up a hill about a mile or 2 away... This 2G mast was down recently with road works. IT would appear that they have switched on 3G900 here, but my Atrix can't connect to it due to that band being switched off... where as the N900 supports it out of the box.

Sigh, what radio can I flash to enable UTMS/HSPA 900MHZ???
[Atrix 4G General] matthew5025:
It's a hardware limitation on the AT&T atrix radio, you can't add functions to a hardware through software when it doesn't exist.
[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
I was under the impression the radios used were the same in both types of Atrix...?

Ie. UK and US MB860 were the same radios?

[HTC EVO 3D] DDiaz007:
No, the phone already tops off at 95%. There's no point in making one now. For the Evo 4G it would top at 90%, which is why it was made in the first place. This phone though tops off at 95%.

Once it reaches 100%, it'll stop charging and let the phone drop back to 95%, and then it'll charge back to 100%. This is a safety measure for the battery.

There was a thread for SBC, but the thread never really took off because there was really no point, not anymore.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Tho, if you look around, there is a thread for it, the dev had started working on it. Haven't checked the thread for awhile.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ptgptg:
Long story short: I am on my third Infuse with constant dropped calls. ATT has now offered to replace my phone.

Any thoughts on what to get. I think my options are:

Atrix 2

LG Nitro

Captivate slide (really miss the physical keyboard)

Skyrocket

S2

The Nitro and Skyrocket seem to have some pretty stellar reviews.

I think the Atrix still has a locked bootloader.

The Slide has the keyboard I have been missing since I got the Infuse.

And the S2 has a smaller screen

Any thoughts on any of these phones?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Definately Skyrocket
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:

S2.

Atrix is a Motorola - enough said

****rocket has all sorts of weird bugs - awful battery life, apparently data rarely works. AT&T's user support forums are full of people with issues.

Glide is oddball hardware - Tegra2 is a pretty poor processor, Heimdall won't talk to it, don't expect much developer love for this device

Awful battery life? Battery life was amazing on stock, running at 1.9GHz, and LTE radio... yeah, not the best.

I don't see any other bugs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Yea...just a whole lot of love on the sgs2 right now..:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
From what I've read, all Samsung devices using the Qualcomm chip instead of the Exynos have screen tuning issues. Either way, I would take an Infuse first and the SGS2 second.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ptgptg:
wow, no one is giving any love to the nitro. the more reviews I read, the more I am liking it. anyone care to elaborate on the reasons for the s2 or rocket instead of the nitro? reviewing the specs, the nitro seems just as tricked out as the others and even better speced on several fronts. not trying to start a war, just trying to figure out how to best take advantage of att's "generosity".

hey cat, did you look at the nitro or did you just go with the rocket? why the rocket over the other two?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the network where you are - does it always drop in the same place?

No one else has had the problems you have had, and for it to happen with three devices says "network" to me.

I never had a problem with dropped anything while driving - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011GI94Q means it's extremely rare to ever have less than 3-4 bars anywhere when behind the wheel.

(I live in the boonies - I often go through areas where no phone ever has coverage, but with the Wilson I'll still usually have 3-4 bars in those places. It has more than exceeded my expectations.)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ptgptg:
i don't think I'm using my phone wrong! I'm in the NYC area and calls drop in several known areas, but also just drop in seemingly random areas. happens in different cars, too. and in cities as far apart as Atlanta and San Diego. they've been telling me about degraded towers since hurricane Irene. this is the NYC area. if there were degraded towers I wouldn't be the only one complaining, so the only remaining thing I'd that I have gotten three defective phones. that was my argument to them. still not sure what phone to get, but I'm going to look closer at the rocket.

thanks for the input.

it has to be a network problem,my infuse worked perfect,then i lost it,i did the upgrade on another line,it works perfect,,but what the hell ,go for the sg2, i will keep the infuse for 2 more years,unless i lose it again!!!lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
I can't really speak for the Nitro, but some reviews really don't seem to like the framework: like an uglier, less-optimized version of TouchWiz that has noticeable lags compared to the SGS2. Although the screen could be the best on the market.

I've never had a single dropped call with any AT&T phone in NYC (I'm talking all 4 boroughs). That might just be my luck though, because some of my family members complain about having calls dropped often. But seriously, no matter how sub-optimal the reception or conditions, I've just never had a dropped call on AT&T through every phone I've owned with them as my carrier. Lots of dropped calls with Sprint and Verizon though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jamdownian:
Get the skyrocket.. Im gonna do the same soon..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
SGS2....RUN FROM THE SKYROCKET!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ptgptg:
that is amazing. there are three spots on the BQE ( for non new Yorkers, that's a highway that doubles as a parking lot during rush hour) alone where I routinely drop calls. I once dropped a conference call eleven times in less than ten minutes on the long island expressway. that got me my first replacement phone. I have come very close to throwing my phone out the window on many occasions.

the whole degraded tower thing really rings hollow after a while. this last time, when they tried the degradation b.s., i told them my wife's infuse does not have these problems and we are in the same area, although I tend to get around the metro area much more than she does.

still not sure what to get, but I wish the s2 had a big screen.

I’m on my 5th infuse and they only offer to send me another infuse,I'm wondering how are they offering you another type of device,let me know what you told them
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ptgptg:
I have a long history of complaints about my phone and the fact it cannot keep a phone call. Apparently, they can see when the phone call is dropped as opposed to ended and they were able to confirm my issues. When I dropped a call again the other day, I had had enough and really laid into them. I got some non-English speaking person in the warranty department who told me it was a network issue (after customer care told me it appeared to be my phone as they had no notice of network issues and would note my account as appearing to have a defective phone). At that point, 45 minutes into my call, I pretty much exploded. I had her note my account that ATT sucked (i made her read it back to me verbatim to make sure she got it all) and that I was cancelling my account because of her. She must have actually put all of that in there because less than 5 minutes later, I got a call from customer care and ended up with this "offer".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FIREONHIGH:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Making an AT&T rep read back "we suck"...classic. Nothing like a little self abuse to complete her day. Then again, I'm sure she has a pretty good idea that the company she works for truly does suck ass.

Yeah. Why run? Isn't it just a souped up Infuse? What makes it bad?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ptgptg:
just got back from target. Got to hold a few of the phones in my hand. They didn't have the rocket or the LG. The SII screen just looks small compared to the Infuse. I really am confused.

I wish ATT had a high end slider coming out. I really miss my keyboard, especially the arrows.

[LG Optimus 3D] alankstiyo:
hey

got a question about it, I have a p920h can it be used with t mobile too??? I'm not quite sure about what carrier can be used with this phone (although I have no diea how to know if it's sim locked).

it seems that i may be moving to the US next year and wanted to check what carrier was good for me, sprint was my best option but since i bought this phone not so long ago I don't want to change phone (again xD unless I have to)

from what I'm seeing the 920h uses the following bands

Cellular-Networks:

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850,

UMTS900, UMTS1700, UMTS1900, UMTS2100

note: I'm using euro open fw so think it'd affect somehow

thanks for the help.
[LG Optimus 3D] jznomoney:
I believe the p920h model uses at&t frequencies. So yes and no. You can use it on tmo but you won't get high speed. The p920 would work fine.
[LG Optimus 3D] xtian63:
i just got a p920 and it says in the box 1700 so i believe it should work with Tmo 3G/4G
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Hey guys,

Im currently running JVQ 2.3.4 stock with CF root kernel because my phone broke and went for repair and they flashed it with this firmware.

I have noticed recently that places where i used to be able to get 3g / HSDPA i only get 2g and even when i do get 3g or HSDPA it doesnt seem to download as fast as it did before when i was on a custom rom ( darkyy 10.2 )

Since i have been on JVQ i have got loads off apps etc and save game data which i cant be bothered to lose. ( i dont like to restore app data through TB ).

Anyways can anyone from the UK recommend a decent modem to flash to save me flashing an entire rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buttwad:
I personally have never had any issues with TB, I make sure I have a copy of the Titanium Backup folder on my laptop and external card tho, just in case.

I would back up using a batch backup on TB, do a full wipe, and flash a different rom or if you wanna stay on stock, reflash a whole stock package using ODIN.

Or just download the JVQ firmware package and ODIN flash the modem file.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AhmadAlmousa:
I'm wonder what would is the reason behind the fluidity of the iPhone 4 ?

I got the captivate and most of friends got the iPhone 4 in, relatively, the same time.

The performance of their phones is superior to mine even though both phones have the mostly the same specifications !

BTW, I'm using CM7.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erbsmokah:
simply put, iphone is one OS meant specifically for one phone, developed by professionals..

Android is an OS that is spread over hundreds of different models.. Its hard to make everything perfect when the devices are constantly different (especially when different models are running different versions of Android). It's also open source and has the potential to be better than iOS but needs more time to develop IMO. I think the base SDK is pretty solid but then the carriers do thier own "tweaks" etc and we lose some of the functionality.

The reason I prefer Android over iOS is the ability to customize it. Your friends wont be flashing custom software on thier iPhones which to me is half the fun of having a "smart" phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Also iOS doesn't offer real multitasking. Its how they both handle memory and cpu usage. I'm not a fan of Apple mobile's BUT I have to admit that for single tasking and simplicity (ish) iOS is better.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Android is fundamentally going to be slower than iOS just because of the way it's structured. And yeah, a lot of it has to do with the multitasking aspect. Android is much more like a PC than iOS is

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemlocke:
Superior GPU, OpenGL, Hardware acceleration, software optimization for one architecture...it's really more than one, single thing. Android guys like to point at it not having "true" multitasking, but that's just not true. iOS can run apps in the background and it is just as easy to switch apps in iOS as it us Android.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
The multitasking that you speak off is false. It closes apps as it wishes and sometime blocks access to other apps. I'm not knocking it it works great for most ppl. I've used Iphone 4 for 6 months and It annoyed the hell out of me. The Gpu is exactly the same. Both ru PowerVR SGX 5 series (535 for Iphone, 540 for us). On paper ours is a tad better since it can process 20M triangles/s vs Iphones 14M/s. Hardware accel we do not have (for now).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemlocke:
I started to describe the 4s, which does have the best GPU in a mobile device. My bad. On paper the 540 is better, but the hardware accel of the 4 makes the 535 perform better. iOS doesn't randomly shut down apps, it prioritizes. The performance is still noticeably better, and you still have multitasking in much the same way you do on Android. As for the 4s, we will need quad-core processors and much better GPUs to see that kind of performance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimosen:
After installing ICS on my Samsung Captivate, it's about 95% as smooth as an iPhone (which I sold to get this phone). I'm really impressed! The hardware acceleration makes a big difference.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemlocke:
It has made a difference on my NS, too, but there are still things I hope they improve.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimosen:
Having gone to a Verizon store and used the Galaxy Nexus, I can report that it's pretty much right on par with the iPhone as far as fluidity and responsiveness. The browser in particular is light years ahead of the one in Gingerbread or Froyo.

I think the apples-to-apples comparison on our devices with GB vs ICS shows that the software is mostly responsible for the enhanced responsiveness. Go Google!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Embonpoint:
After installing ICS on my Captivate, I have been thoroughly impressed with its responsiveness. Considering it is a port and the Devs have not had the source to work with, I was ecstatic to see this. Once they integrate the recently released source, I truly believe that even my "ancient" Captivate will rival the new iPhone.

These lockscreens are awesome, much more fun than widgetlocker. The only problem is they all need resizing to fit our screens.

I've been trying but without a script and my lack of knowledge its hard work. If you rename the. mtz to .zip then extract it and find lockscreen, rename that to lockscreen.zip and extract that you can edit manifest.xml and resize everything to fit our screens, Ive been dividing all the sizes by 50% to make everything fit on the screen and then trial n error to move everything to the right place. Does anybody know an easier way??

This one is VA 3way minimal lockscreen, it has a white animated line that should move down between the 2 slider icons when there in the right place and when pressed a phone and sms icon appears at either side which you drag the centre icon to, took me an hour and half to get that close. :(
