Sprint can take my share of a class action law suit and apply it to network improvements. When it comes to class action suits the only ones that benefit are the lawyers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] expertzero1:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Not really, the threat of a class action plays a big role
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
In general yes, but you do occasionaly see benefits both in actual negotiated benefits and in the ability for the threat of class action to curtail negative behavior.

For example, the reason we have pro-rated ETFs is because of a previous class-action settlement.

In the case in front of us, IMO the main reason Sprint moved so quick to get rid of CIQ is the class actions, so the community is seeing benefit already, even before settlement. To be prudent they had to reduce their exposure. I don't know whether they will win or lose the class action, but if they were to lose and the courts saw they continued using CIQ after the issues were pointed out, they would have been exposed to treble damages for willful misconduct. Even a small penalty multiplied by the "class" of 26m customers can start getting pretty big, let alone tripling that penalty.

If you want to see what the world looks like w/o class actions just look at what Sprint has been doing with the price increase, cancellation of agreed upon discounts, and contract changes w/o ETF-free exit, even if you follow the contract and complain within 30 days. Sprint just said tough, if you don't like our unilateral changes, eat the ETF and leave. This all started getting out of control after the Supreme Court ruled class action waivers in contracts were enforceable, overturning a couple of class actions in CA where the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff and allowed the class action to go through.

This CIQ affair was actually a surprising turn of events because Federal Wiretap act supercedes your service contract and saw the reintroduction of class-actions when Sprint thought they were all in the clear.

So yes, you do often see the class-actions where you get $.50 or some $5 coupon off of a full price item as settlement, but there are also cases where you see tangible benefits and you can't quantify the self-policing effect that the fear of class action can produce to keep companies in line.

IMO Sprint (and CIQ) could have avoided all this if they simply paid attention to the many people who tried to play nice and go up the food chain to get some resolution to this many many months ago. Instead they pointed fingers in an infinite loop, then just blew them off and stopped responding.

I would have preferred if Sprint did the right thing in the beginning and allowed people an opt-out, avoided the class-action, and spent the money they are now wasting defending themselves on their network. But alas, that is not what they did and here is where we are at. At least we are seeing CIQ removed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
You would think that, but there are other factors in this build that have obviously hurt the battery. Right now I am going to switch back to EG30 because the battery drain on this build is bad. I am getting about half the battery when playing games so there is something going on. The phone seems WAY snappier and runs a whole lot batter, but the battery drain on average is way higher. Also the home screen background is locked, it doesn't scroll which sucks! Oh well it was nice knowing that CIQ was removed, but this battery drain is just not going to cut it.

right now I am at 75% since 8AM with 40min display and WIFI on and attached. no games just gmail and google reader. I used to do the same thing and still be in the high 80's before so this is just not working. time to roll back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
I'm seeing the same results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I've noticed the same thing. With less than 10 minutes of display time, I drain down to 75% between 7:30am and 3:30pm. And this is with a clean install and not much going in the background besides gmail and Groupon.

I downloaded the drivers (I think!) but I'm not sure what to do with them. I have a google-usb_driver and x86 folder which were in the driver.rar file I downloaded.

How do I use them to install the drivers?

Hey gang,

Just wanted to let everyone know that Amazon has a Lexar Class 10 32gb microsd card with a reader for $40.77. It is Prime Eligible meaning you can get free 2 day shipping if you are a member of Amazon Prime. Tiger Direct has the same combo for $39.99 currently (shipping to Raleigh, NC was $2.70 bringing the total to $42.69). YMMV on shipping, of course.

I purchased this combo from Amazon when it was on sale for $47 on November 4th and I've been using it ever since. I haven't had any issues with the card and I'm considering getting a second one. The first one is in my phone but I did test it in the NC and it worked just fine. It's a great way to store a lot of videos for traveling, etc.

*** 1/19/2012 Update - I didn't expect to update this thread again but this deal is back (on Amazon, not Tiger Direct) and listed as the Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day. Price is $39.99 and will likely jump back up tomorrow. I've been using it with great results since I ordered on November 4th last year. At this price I am thinking about getting a second one.

Has anyone read an actual date yet? I heard in Jan. I saw ICS on the new Nexus and it looks awesome!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Not sure a solid date, but Asus said it would be in January. Of course, Google had a hard time predicting updates to its Nexus devices, and kept missing dates for updating the OS on its older phones. Hell, they originally said the Nexus One would be updated to ICS, but then said it wouldn't.

If Google can't predict it than I would take any announcement as an approximation. However, I think the prime will be updated soon. I bet it already works and is ready they just did not want to risk shipping with the new OS.

ICS is great though. I have it running in a virtual machine and it is very nice.

What's the advantage of ice creem over Gingerbread ? Other than appearance?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GCurry:
Jan 31. Everything else should exceed expectations.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
A lot of UI and feature additions, but performance and battery usage get a good boost. You can really see this in a Virtual Machine. Gingerbread runs horrible and Honeycomb is almost unusable, but ICS is smooth like butter.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
It has a whole bunch of new UI tweaks, from the multi-tasking (I guess you can swipe left and it shuts down the program), to the notifications pane, it provides more information in bigger panels, and a settings option in the notification panel as well. I'd imagine more widgets as well. I also read somewhere it runs much smoother and uses less memory than Gingerbread, just to name a couple things off the top of my head.

Google just announced ICS version 4.03 to be released. They want that to be base version for tablets n phones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I use the AVD (android virtual device) that's part of the SDK. Its much easier than setting up a real virtual machine since you would have to compile android from source, and it works well enough to test drive. My main goal was to try and register my avd as a device in the Google Market so I could get some 10 cents apps that were not compatible with my phone but would be with the Prime; however, I ran into snags getting the Android Market working, so I decided it was not worth the time to get a couple of 10 cent apps.

You can get more information here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

http://www.abctrick.com/2011/10/complete-guide-about-how-to-run-android.html

It can sound complicated, but it not really. Once you have the SDK, you can create a virtual device and you are good to go. It will lack all the Google apps, but there is a way to get them working with some effort. I just did not have the time.

This is little offtopic, But it's shows that ICS will make Prime faster.

HC isn't so good and have its performance problems, but with Tegra3 its seems to perform well regarding the reviews that been made. So I am pretty excited about how good and fast it will be with ICS.

XOOM have got a alpha rom, and the quote is from The Verge

" but the good news is that early indications show that Ice Cream Sandwich is showing much better performance on the Xoom than Honeycomb did"

if it's accurate, ICS should hit all TF201 devices essentially at the same time, so super early jan/late dec would be pretty sweet, as the less time i have to spend with ****ty ****ty ****ty HC the better.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pauloslf:
Hi all,

i have a samsung galaxy s 2 with original firmware, today i noticed that it was not possible to access the phone memory and sd card , it said "usb is damaged, please format"..

I could read the sd card by putting it in a pc, but in order to access the contents in the phone memory i tried to make a soft-reset (not removing pictures,videos etc), turn out that after that the phone can't even boot correctly it starts crashing ( com.google.process.gapps etc) when i'm supposed to choose the phone language.

i tried to connect to kies but altough the phone is detected it does not let me access any of the data in the phone..

any idea to recover the data? or at least to install the firmware again?

thanks a lot,

any idea how to fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you flash firmware it will wipe data .

Possible solution is a NOWIPE custom rom .

But that voids warranty .

You can full factory reset see if that cures the problem it will wipe data but once working you can restore your backed up data .

Model-Droid Incredible

Previous Rom-MIUI

Current Rom MCsense 2.5

Simple question, frustrating topic (on my behalf), doubtful answer.

Ok soooo, the MIUI roms has a stock notes app. I used it frequently and had some notes on there i wish i had now. Problem is, MIUI started giving me problems force stopping and what not and i was forced to flash a new rom. IT didnt cross my mind to screen shot the notes as the notes i had weren't the first thing on my mind. I know MIUI had/has its own file when you look in the file manager on your phone but my question is:

Were the notes on the MIUI notes app saved in any way, in any place on the sdcard or phone to where i could recover the notes i had when MIUI was my functioning rom. I still have the MIUI folder on my phone but i cannot find the notes i HAD but i know they were saved obviously because they were saved when the rom was functioning. Anyone have any ideas?

I assume i've lost the notes forever but this was worth asking to me. Please forgive me is i piss anyone off by starting this new thread but i honestly did look and search on here and Google and other forum sites including looking through MIUI info. Thanks for your time spent reading.
