the 3G our phones use is not exactly the same as standard 3G unless you force your phone into EVDO 3G via the ##778 menu. which if you are not in a 4g zone I would recommend simply for stability. The 3G our phones use is basically a layer between 3G and LTE as I've had it explained to me.. I really don't know much else about it though, sorry. I'm sure someone else here can shine more light on it however.

I've had a ton of weird data issues with the Rezound. I get 1x where i should get 3g, i get 3g where i should get 4g and i get nothing way too often.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
I've only had this happen once with the rezound. Shows nothing but bars, no data can be used. Sometimes switching to 3g or 4g in lte on/off helps.

Had this problem intermittently on both my wife's and my bolts, completely agree its just a lte being a new tech issue.

I've listened to a podcast on how the handoff works and its definitely not fool proof.

Rev. A

select "enable"

phone will reboot and you should get 3G back

This changes your network from eHRPD back to EVDO Rev.A. For LTE phone owners, eHRPD causes 3G to die (most of the time anyway) when the LTE network has problems. Get back on normal EVDO and you're good to go.

^ from Jntdroid on another forum (not sure if we're allowed to post to other forums here) I'm not positive on where he got it from, but this is a capability of all HTC 4G phones :)

I've had occasional issues with being down to 1X, but even that was only during nationwide 4G network issues, definitely get in touch with VZW about that... not that they have enough sense to fix anything *sigh*

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nannuq:
I apologize if there is another thread devoted to this in the General Forum, but I was unable to search USB Jig and find one. I noticed that in several of the EL13 related threads there are people unable to use the USB jig to reset the Odin counter once they have flashed the Leaked Tar. I can confirm this is the case but that is not why I am posting this. I just wanted to confirm that if you Flash back to the EG30 Tar you do in fact get the USB jig reset ability back. Then you can proceed to update to the EK02 and on from there. The only time I have lost the use of the JIG was when I flashed the leaked Tar.

Just wanted to post this so people don't panic when it stops working for them. I also wanted to have a post that was easily searchable for people rather than having to dig through other threads to answer this question.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayo727:
On a side note, can anyone tell me why there is an overuse of odin and why people prefer it over Clockwork/Recovery? I have no use for this so called jig and have never used odin since I have owned this phone. Maybe I'm oldschool and just used to using recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:
Flashing in cwm doesnt increwse your odin count. Odining does
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Havek923:
This. Without the jig, every time you use Odin it raises the count. If you take it into Sprint for whatever reason, they can check the count and see that you've been flashing Kernels/roms/modems and void your warranty on the spot. Plus the jig fixes the yellow triangle error, and can fix soft bricks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
The jig doesn't just reset the Odin counter. It also can boot your phone from an off state into download mode, offering the opportunity to save a soft brick or semi-hard brick (lol I said semi). Sometimes holding vol-down and power doesn't get it done, while the jig does, allowing you to connect to Odin and get a full system re-flashed. Having that extra backup precaution can save a lot of headaches.

With that said, it's really hard to brick this phone unless you modify your bootloader, so the value of a jig is diminished compared to some other phones. Still, it's under $2. It's worth it to have one lying around IMO.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayo727:
This is my exact point, I do not use odin and have never had the yellow triangle. I think what I'm asking is why do people even use odin when they can use Clockwork/recovery? lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Well in the case of the EL13 leak, the Odin TAR was the first thing available. You know how many of us can be impatient when it comes to flashing stuff hehe.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jayo727:
Oh ok this makes sense to me. Thank you

---------- Post added at 05:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

I was really just trying to compare the two and figure out why people prefer to use Odin over Clockwork/Recovery. It's making more sense to me now that I know you can use it to unbrick your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah I get your point. I've used Odin ONCE on this device, to originally root my phone. Since then, sfhub posted his automated root tool, so Odin isn't needed for that anymore. But, there are times when just flashing ZIPs in CWM doesn't do what you need. Sometimes recovery gets borked, so enter Odin.

Generally speaking, CWM is the best for regular flashing of ROMs, kernels, themes and other simple packages. Odin is for flashing modems, flashing full systems, and saving bricks. In other words, both tools have their uses.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, this is a very good summary.

For me, if I need to flash just a ROM, Kernel, or Modem individually I'll use CWM.

If I need to flash everything back to stock, I'll use ODIN because it is just more convenient to do a single operation.

As to your "ODIN count", using ODIN in and of itself doesn't increased the displayed flash count. That number ONLY increments when you flash UNSIGNED Kernels (ie Kernels not signed by Samsung). If you flash custom ROMs, it wouldn't increase.

The USB Jig is useful as previously mentioned because it will force you into ODIN D/L mode even if your phone is otherwise stuck in loops. Basically as long as the screen is updating, the USB Jig can force you to ODIN D/L mode, where you can flash a failsafe ROM and get yourself back up and running.

I would highly recommend people have a USB Jig available. It is very inexpensive (around $2-$3). Even though you may never use it, the one time when you need it, you'll be cursing yourself for not having obtained one earlier as you frantically go to ebay and have to wait a few days before it arrives, all the while your phone is a brick.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

To answer your question, yes, the EG30 ODIN factory restore tar would restore your USB Jig functionality:

[ODIN][STOCK][TAR] SPH-D710.EG30_CL435734 (EG30 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Factory Restore)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nowakezone:
So if i always just use Odin for factory stock files or tars then i dont need to worry about Odin count? Meaning always leaving everything completely stock and never rooting or custom anything? And also what is the magic "odined to many times" number?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
That is correct, you will not see any ODIN flash count on the ODIN D/L screen if you always use ODIN with factory stock files or tars.

Reference please.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nowakezone:
Thank you for the answer on the first question.

On the second question i mean if i was to use non stock roms etc that did increase the ODIN count, then is there a max number that wont allow me to ever do it again or where sprint wont return it because of too many ODIN flashing, or where the phone is unusable anymore?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I wouldn't think there is a number that renders it useless. I think if a Sprint tech was going to say no to 20 Odin flashes, they could just as easily say no to having one. I probably used it 75 times on my OG Epic with all of the testing I did over there. Sometimes wiping everything with CWM doesn't clear everything up so people will use Odin for a totally clean start but Calkulin's wipe all zip makes Odin a little less necessary in that regard. sfhub and dchibro's explanations are right on point. When SamFirmware releases a leak, it comes in a tarball so the early flashers use Odin to flash it. Its a great tool to have at your disposal ..as is a jig. If you like to flash everything, you can't go wrong having both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nowakezone:
Thank You!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
Where could i purchase this Jtag? can i get it from Amazon instead of Ebay? I dislike Ebay ~_O

Obrigado e mais uma vez desculpas.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Felimenta97:
Your device is X10 Mini PRO, right? If yes, you have to use CWM Recovery, no xRecovery.

For the fix:

First download this: http://sony-ericsson-update-service.br.uptodown.com/

Install, make the updates, turn off your device, charge it for at least 50 to 60% (if you have slow internet conection, charge it up to 100%), and then follow the instructions (they are on the program but I'll write it anyway).

1. Turn off device, pick up your micro USB cable, connect it to your PC.

2. Holding the Back Button (Right one) connect the cable to the phone, and keep holding it until the screen on the program changes and the phone LED turns green.

3. Click OK, it will erase everything on the phone, SD Card and SIM Card will keep Ok. It will download the Android to your device (may take hours, the program itself have slow download, and with a possible slow internet conection...) and then it will install it. Remove the cable, and turn on the phone. the boot will take about 10 minutes, don't worry, if you done everything right.

Congrats, your phone is fixed. Now, to install Mini CM7 Pro:

Root: You know how to do this, right?

Ok, after rooted, go to configs -> aplications -> developement -> debugging (activate it)

Then, download this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1257701

Done this, conect your phone to the PC and DON'T MOUNT THE SD CARD. Open the .bat or .exe, I can't remember.

It will ask you two things: If your phone is rooted (press Y and ENTER) and if you already have a recovery installed (press N and ENTER). Wait. Reboot, and enter in recovery, the same way you do with xRecovery.

Go to Mount and Storage, connect your phone to the PC, press volume up hardware button and Home when you reach Mount USB Storage, press Home button, on your PC, transfer the Mini CM7 Pro .zip file to the root of your SD Card. Wait until the transfer is complete, and press Unmount (Home button)on your phone. Press back button once, go to wipe data/factory reset, confirm. Go to advanced settings, clear dalvik cache, clear battery data, go to install zip from SD Card, Home button, volume down button once, in choice zip from SD Card, home button, and navigate using volume buttons to your .zip file. Choise the ROM file and wait. When it's done, do another factory reset, clear dalvik cache again, reboot, wait. If everything was done right, you should have CM7 on your phone.

Hope it helped, don't forget to press Thanks button. (Espero ter ajudado, não se esqueça de apertar o botão de Thanks abaixo do meu post).

Use o Tradutor se precisar, boa sorte :D

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Felimenta97:
Cara, escreva em ingles, ou pelo menos use ctrl c + ctrl v do tradutor, é contra as regras.

Anyway, do what I said in the second half of my earlier post, use CWM, Full Wipe, Dalvik Cache Wipe, Install ROM, full wipe again and dalvik cache wipe again. Then reboot, if the boot animation keeps on loop as the usual (not the phone restarting) for about 10 min and the appear, it worked.

Any problem, just ask. If I can help, I will try to make it.

Maybe this is more of a general ICS question but I'm not sure where else to ask it. I just bought a VZW GN and I'm getting it up and working but one thing is really bothering me. I have 2 gmail accounts, one general with talk enabled and one business account (google apps) with talk disabled. I have the account settings set to sync e-mail and calendar from the google apps account. However, google talk CONSTANTLY informs me that it was unable to sign in on the google apps account.

I use google talk quite a bit, but only on my personal account. Is there away to remove my business account from google talk? or at least stop the automatic sign on? This was never a problem in my previous android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
You should be able to disable the automatic sign in through settings. Don't forget to log off as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
Another way around this is to wipe the phone, and then add your personal account to the device first. With every Android phone, the first gmail account to be added becomes the default GTalk account, plus it is the main market account. In the past (before you could switch market accounts), if you accidentally used the wrong account during initial setup, you had to wipe the phone to fix it. Now that market can handle multiple accounts, I think you only have to wipe to fix the default gtalk account.

I don't even know if it's possible to sign in more than one Gtalk account? If not, then you have to wipe and start over, making sure that the account you want to use for gtalk is your first account on the phone.

At least, that's how it's always worked with gingerbread and earlier. I don't know about ICS just yet (my GNex is charging and i'm avoiding setup until I get home).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asty:
Hey guys,

I've been messing around with this off and on all day. From what I can tell, ICS logs into multiple Gtalk accounts simultaneously. This would be great except for the fact that one of my accounts has Gtalk disabled.

@ Ves - I cannot find in settings where to disable automatic sign on. I can see the "sign out" option, but the account I'm trying to disable the automatic sign on for is already signed out (since it can't sign on). Still, I pushed it and it is still trying to reconnect quite frequently. I've been in and out of these settings all day so if I'm blind and another Nexus user found the option please tell me where it is!

@ ZPrimed - I actually did add the personal account (with Gtalk enabled) to the phone first. I added my work e-mail second. I am pretty sure what you are talking about was how I set up my Gingerbread phone before but now since there seems to be multiple signon to Gtalk it is adding both accounts to it and I still can't figure out how to remove one! :(

FYI, I think the failed sign ons are due to the fact that I am consistently losing 4g coverage every 30 mins or so (it's been this way since last week on my Thunderbolt) and the phone is trying to sign back on both Gtalk accounts when a connection returns.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
Hmm. I have two accounts as well, gapps and standard, but my situation is reversed. I own the gapps domain, so I use talk on my gapps account, and my gmail account is just along for the ride. The gmail account is my spambin, or I use it when stupid websites feel that a hyphen is invalid in an e-mail address (my gapps domain has a dash in it). I don't really use it for anything else, i only sync mail and calendar on it.

I'm still using my Stratosphere right now, and on it the only account signed in to talk is my gapps account, and I can't find any way to enable the other account at all (i.e. I think gingerbread may be limited to one talk account, period).

Once I switch over to the nexus tonight I'll take a look and let you know what I find though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
My apologizes. I took another look and saw the option wasn't there on the GN. It's on the SGS2 as I took a look there. Mistook the option for each version.

Still weird that Google Talks keep trying to reconnect when you've chosen "Sign Out".

Have you tried activating the chat in Gmail then log in from your phone, wait a bit then sign out. Then go back to Gmail and disable it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asty:
Hey guys,

I asked the admin of our gapps domain very nicely to enable chat so i could try to fix my phone. once he enabled it, i was immediately able to sign on to gtalk thru the nexus, then select "sign out". This stopped the automatic sign on attemps. he disabled chat on the domain again and the phone seems to not mind. this seems to have solved my problem. thanks for the advice!

2. Use custom rom like MIUI or CM7

If you dont want to change rom, use 1 and if you do, use 2. 3 is the worst of these IMO.
