The title of this thread made me laugh. T-Blowbile? In my case, I was out of contract and had the option of switching to Verizon and getting the GN at a subsidized price, but I instead opted to import the phone and use it on T-Mobile instead of Veri-sucks (see what I did there?). In my area, I have solid 3G coverage from both T-Mobile and Verizon, but Verizon's 4G is extremely spotty, and their 3G is extremely slow (CDMA 3G is only about 1 Mbps). For me, I gladly went w/ consistent 5-10 Mbps on T-Mobile over mostly 1 Mbps and the occasional 15 Mbps on Verizon. Nothing is more of a case-by-case basis than choosing a carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
the Nexus and the Rezound are the 2 top phones. The big pluses with the Nexus are the bigger screen & dev support. since you are into "sound" though I would consider looking at the Rezound. I had one and call quality + signal strength beat the Nexus hands down. additionally, sound quality on the Rezound is also better + blue tooth works flawlessly. downside is if you connect via AUX it tends to produce a bit of background noise/fuzz. also, if you go for the Rezound make sure you do a stress test to ensure it doesn't have overheating issues(aka bacon mode) + do a dead pixel test. sadly, both are known issues with the Rezound. I personally switched to the Nexus pretty much just because of the bigger screen(but dev support alone is also worth it).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I get 2-4mbps on 3G. I have LTE disabled. In Cincinnati, OH (major city) Tmobile's 4G is the same speed. In Indianopolis, Tmobiles 4G is like 8mpbs.

I don't really feel any difference going from Tmobile 4G to Verizon 3G. Also Verizon's LTE in Cincinnati is like 18-22mbps down. I disabled LTE because I don't need an always-on super-fast connection. 2-4mpbs is perfect for day-to-day stuff.

The only benefit is Verizon has better coverage when I travel between cities. Verizon is 95% always in 3G when I travel. Tmobile is 30% in 3G when I travel. Some data > no data.

...plus work picks up the bill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
Ehh...not quite. The unlimited voice is expensive, but doubt you possibly use enough minutes to make it worthwhile. Verizon offers a 15% discount to students, so 10GB of data (the 5GB plan with the 2x data offer right now) is $40, 1400 minutes and unlimited text is like $70 a month. That comes out to $100 ($59.50 for voice after discount, $40 for data). This plan gives you 1400 minutes (more than most people will ever use), unlimited text, and 10GB of data a month.

Soooo you're wrong?

That's true, but more cases can be made for Verizon.

This is the thing: If you don't leave your home city very often and it gets much better T-Mobile coverage than Verizon...you'd obviously be better off picking T-Mobile.

However, if you travel at *all*, or you live in 98% of other cities in the country...Verizon's going to offer better service. Faster, and more reliable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
24 months at 30 dollars is 720...I checked with Verizon . After taxes and insurance it would be 120 a month . That's 24x50= 1200....my total bill does not exceed 73 a month. So u see buddy, ur argument is benign .plus how the hell do u know that I don't use more than 1400 min a month...even if so, I still like to have the unlimited talk option. I've been with Tmo for 11 years..never had a problem and not on contract...plus 350 ETF for cancelling..gtfo with that. (Towards Verizon and not u)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I've done a lot of traveling, TMo has never let me down stateside. Try traveling to Europe and see how that cdma nexus fares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HighTech216:
I ditched tmo for Verizon and the GN. totally satisfied!

I used to be blindly loyal to tmo, as some of the other responders clearly are. As for cost, I'm actually saving money thanks to a corporate discount and the service is amazing. Let's face it, tmo doesn't even have 4G. They're decent, but for what I was paying them I expect more.

Make the switch, double data right now and wifi tether works perfectly. The hardware is a no brainer. The phone is awesome, software will get there with time. They rushed out ICS but its good enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
LTE is a battery hog and until I can do data/voice simultaneously; I'll take my " fake" 4g...att and tmo have entered a 7 year 3g roaming agreement so that right there solves a lot of issues. Lte is a new technology as opposed to hspa. The US market is far behind global standards, so we can argue about which is the best of the worst; but reality of the matter is that we are behind....at this point all that matters is what works best for the individual. I NEED/have to have GSM....att in my opinion sucks at CS and their hspa and lte network is sub-par as of now..so tmo is the clear choice for me. I pull average of 10mbs which is far more than I need on a phone. *steps down from the soap box*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I have no sworn oath, they have had solid coverage and customer service for the years I've been with them. And I want a gsm phone so when I do my yearly pilgrimage to Europe and someone calls or txts me it just works without me having to go through a bunch of bs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phoenx06:
The theoretical top speed for CDMA 3G is 3.1M. And that's like if you were the only person on the network with perfect coverage. I've personally never seen Verizon 3G ever above 1.8 down. I'm on Verizon and love 4G though, just thought I'd point that out.

Trolololol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleach168:
Some people have very good reasons to be on T-Mobile just as some people have very good reasons to be on Verizon. Can we just at least agree that AT&T sucks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr3cision:
Hahahaha. I loled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kolyan:
I have tested Verizon 3G vs Tmobile 3G (not even 4G) in Verizon store in Verizon 4G area. Verizon got anywhere from 300-1000kbps and Tmobile got 2000-2500kbps...just outside the store I got 5-5.5Mbps on Tmobile 3G

but yes, some areas on my trips to New Hampshire mountains etc, I get 2G EDGE or no data at all which sucks. But i still dont know if switching to slow ass CDMA 3G is worth it. I mean obviously LTE is fast (I clocked about 20mbps in Verison store), but reported battery drains are just ridiculous.....4-6 hours on LTE...really ? In this case screw LTE, I would rather get 10-15 hours on 2-5mbps 3G and smaller battery....

lol. Yes, I believe CDMA tops at 3.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Running Sloth:
Sooo I made the switch. Was on tmo with my N1. Was with tmo for like 8 years but their reception wasn't cutting it for me. I get better service through Verizon and yeah...while it might be slow, at least it was consistent. I miss tmo prices tho.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Maybe try a new battery.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spidey01:
I have, or in the sense that something likes to keep my CPU awake for long stretches when the phone is idle. Noticed it during the sale but haven't been able to find what it is, as I don't have many apps added to my phone (most goes on my tabbook). Excluding application updates the only thing left I can figure to do, is switch back to Zeam from ADWLauncher Ex.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookUser:
Good Evening Everyone,

I am opening up this thread because I am not able to use the Backup Current Rom feature in my Nook Color using ext3 or ext4 file system on my micro-sd card.

Is there any way to fix this problem without using fat32?

This is what happen:

I select Backup Current Rom

The nook restarts

Waiting for SD card to mount

Can't mount SD card...

Bye and thank you very much in advance :)

Nook Color using Cyanogen mod 7

ClockworkMod recovery 3.2.0.1
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
This sounds like you are running CM7 off of SD... you DO NOT use CWM for SD installs.

If you are not running off of SD... then I'd make sure you have the current version of CWM (3.2.0.1) and try mounting the SD from the menu's before trying anything else.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookUser:
Hi, First of all, thanks for answering to my inquiry :)

Yes I run CM7 on from the internal memory of the Nook Color and yes, I am running CWM (3.2.0.1).

If I mount the sd card from the menu settings->storage->Mount SD Card, the sd card is mounted without any problems... The problem is when I try to Backup Current Rom :(

I tried also to reboot manually in recovery mood and do:

mounts and storage

mount /sdcard and I get Error mounting /sdcard!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Assuming you have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD.

Plug it into the NC, when powering up, it should be automatically booted into CwM Recovery. From there, do the Backup.

No need to mount SD card. In fact, don't know why you would do that?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookUser:
1- How do I know if I have a good flashable CwMR 3.2.01 uSD?

I have the one that comes with the CM7 updated to 3.2.0.1.

2- I went on ROM Manager ->Backup Current ROM but still, when I am in the recovery mode and I click on

backup and restore -> backup

I get the message Can't mount /sdcard

I have also tried to turn on the nook and enter into the recovery mode by pressing the n key but still, I get Can't mount /sdcard when I try to backup my ROM.

What do I do wrong?

P.S. In case my CwMR is not good, how do I remove it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Ehhhh, honestly, no clue what you're trying to say.

Anyway, let's start from scratch.

Firstly, pls let us know your current system such ROM version, where it boots from, .....

Secondly, what are you trying to do? Make a backup?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookUser:
The ROM version is CyanogenMod-7-11162011-NIGHTLY-encore.

I got it in download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=encore

It boots from eMMC (I think... I installed the ROM in the Internal Memory)

I am trying to make a backup on my micro-sd that has an ext4 file system

Bye and thank you very much.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Clear!

Now, if you did install ROM into eMMC yourself, then I assume you know how to create a flashable CwMR uSD and it is good.

Assuming the flashable uSD is fresh and good.

1. Insert the uSD into NC. Power it up. It will boot into recovery AUTOMATICALLY.

2. From the CwMR menu, using volume up/down button to to Advanced, then Backup. Let it run until finishes. Theoretically, the entire backup .zip file should be around 100MB.

3. Remove the uSD off NC.

4. The backup .zip file should probably be in the "clockworkmod" folder under ROOT. Transfer it to PC or other space to save.

That's it.

There is absolutely no need dealing with "mount SD" or "ext3" or "ext4"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddemers:
Truth be told I have been waiting for second gen WP7 devices to hit the canadian market, which doesnt seem to be happening anytime soon. Over the course of the past 3 months I have aquired an Acer Android tablet, sold my ipad and purchased an Android phone for my wife (casual user).

Now I am at the point where I am very tired of my 3 year old BB Curve and I want to start developing for the mobile market (for fun, possibly create custom apps for work, I am in IT)

I come from a Java background 10 years ago, then moved to .NET, which is why I was waiting for a Windows Phone, but has time has passed I have been following Android news and I am strongly considering getting an Android phone.

What I am not clear on is the Nexus line of phones, I guess this line of phones is managed by Google, which then chooses new OEMs as new phone are released? Is this a big benifit when it come to update/App support/ROMs..etc or is it a drawback?

Also, if you were to choose a phone to fit the following needs/wants, Is the Galaxy II or Galaxy Nexus a better fit (I really want a Samsung phone)

Needs

-Exchange support, not full, but the more ActiveSync features that are supported, the better.

-ROM Access, Id like to play around with ROM/Custimize the phone

-App support, I noticed on my Acer tablet a lot of apps are not available, that we can get on the phone

Wants

- I am stuck with this phonme for 2 years, so being able to upgrade to 5.0 when it comes out would be ideal.

- A Big screen! The softbuttons only on the Nexus is nice :)

- I want ICS right now, but I dont mind waiting till April when the GII gets it in Canada\

- I want to develop for it, if one is easier to development for (doubt it), it would be good to know.

Thanks, just looking for advice and figured this forum would be good, as I like to mess around with the software side of things, long time reader, first time poster!

Go for the Nexus. It will have amazing dev support, and being a nexus is a huge benefit. It it guaranteed to get updates for 2 years, and receives all updates first. Unlocking the bootloader is a simple command throught the terminal emulator. Dev wise...you just can't go wrong with that phone.

Just search google or whatever. There are multiple blogs that detail all the abilities of the Google Nexus. Again though, for what you're wanting the Nexus is going to be the best thing kicking right now. Easy unlockable bootloader and the ability to take updates immediately if you like.

Hi there

I have flashed Build 10 from teamhacksungs ics rom

I came directly from cm 7.1

Have wiped cache and made a factory reset

Then installed gapps and the su zip

My problem is that playerpro directly force closes

When i use the trial it works

It also worked on cm 7.1

But now it keeps crashing

The aosp music app works

And every other app is also working

I also flashed the rom over again with factory reset and cache wipe

Nothing has changed

Only the ui seems to be smoother and faster now(pretty weird^^)

Does someone know solution?

I read somewhere something about a data fix zip but could not find that

Maybe thats the solution?

If so where can i find it?

Well to be honest

I havr paid for playerpro

But after it hasn't worked i tried some older versions which i got through the internet

But they have worked

I dont know what it is but there will be an update in some days

So it will work again

I have a tedt version already which runs flawlessly

All other apk's work for me

It doesn't has to do with paid or unpaid
