[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
1. 479 sounds legit for phone, i dont know about x715m but i do know that us tmobile version is compatible with all bands networks.

2. Yes all US tmobile amaze 4g operate on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 as well as UMTS 1700/2100, both physically and as allowed by the carrier. As far as apn you would need to set up your apn settings according to the network you are using.

3. If no AWS available then only 2g Edge will work, although I have called tmobile and asked if amaze 4g unlocked will be able to use att's hspa network and they said yes amaze and sg2 are only phones capable of that meaning they were built with future proof in mind. I also seen around that tmobile version has all 3g network bands but not sure myself.

4. Easiest would be to have friend pay and pick up the sim card at walmart but i do remind you it is 30/m- 100 min and 5gb of 4g speeds CAPPED, but 2g edge speeds after the 5gb. Simple mobile is 60/m - unltd talk unlt text and 2gb of 4g speeds capped then 2g edge speeds after just depends on your preference.

5. This is a good idea as att will stil be an option and now that att failed to buy tmobile, att has come to an agreement in a roaming contract with tmobile for 7 years.

hope this helps you a little bit more in what ever you decide, good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] resolved:
thanks mate, helped confirmed a few things in my mind.

Negri said they're on backorder so I went ahead and ordered the phone from an Amazon seller for $500. I can only hope everything's legit - I'm not too sure what the dangers of this option are. My best idea is just to use the phone heavily in the first week after getting it and make sure everything works.

now i just need a "beginners guide to android" to help the friend work through the basics... google time. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Is this your first Android phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] resolved:
nope, i've had a HTC Hero and currently run a SGS2. I bought the Amaze for a friend who's new to Android due to Apple's stupid GSM-only unlocked phones, and their lack of 1.7ghz for tmo.

we'll get through it, tho after 15 mins of googling, there's a distinct lack of good "idiot user's (not programmer's) guide to android" articles/books. will write something up myself, i think. :)

my response to you above is more fishing for people's ideas about how Amazon sellers can be dodgy, esp. when pretty much every website is still doing the Amaze for $6-700.. I wondered if there were any potential pitfalls with the $500 price.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
I bought mine from eBay. It was used for a week with everything and he gave me an Incipio case. I bought it for $445. I was happy with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
From what i understand, this phone has UMTS/HSPA+ support for 850,1700/2100aws/1900mhz and 2100mhz. Pretty much anywhere in the world that uses those.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coopjmz:
I'm trying to flash a ROM on to my HTC HD7 and I am having a problem when I try to establish an Activesync connection with my phone. I have HSPL all set up on my device (an unlocked T-mobile HD7 on Rogers) the phone OS version is 7.0.7004.0 and my bootloader version is 3.1.2250.0(119314).

I have tried to soft-reset, hard-reset etc. and these things haven't worked. When I run Task 29 I get to the part where it tries to verify if I have an active connection with Activesync (or Sync Center or whatever) and it fails to work. I have a Windows 7 32-bit computer. I have checked my flash versions, .net framework version and everything in between, nothing seems to be wrong and can't figure it out!

If anyone can help me establish a connection with the Sync Center I would be very grateful.

Thanks!

You can always root any ROM with adb or, (the easier way) with mobile odin pro.

Since it is a LKL, yes it does include pt-br.
[Captivate General] xriderx66:
My brother is about to buy this phone from one of his buddies for a cheap amount, is this phone unlockable for TMOBILE? I already have a Samsung Vibrant T959 (tmo version of SGS)
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
You mean the captivate? Yes, but you won't get 3g, just edge.

Check power button and rear speaker function. They arebig problems for some Captivates.
[Captivate General] theevildevil:
Not to be snob, but a quick search on "unlock captivate" would give you the required results.

And to make long answer short, yes but you need to be rooted. The app by Helroz works like a charm.
[Captivate General] xriderx66:
Yes, thats fine, thanks for the heads up man.

Sorry. I actually did do a search on the captivate forums of "unlock tmobile" and then i went on google to try to search but most of the links didn't work, some said it costs like 35$ and I found one youtube video which helps.

I just wanted a confirmation, thank you both.

Just making sure, One click root or Super One click root also works for captivate? (i'm going to go read the stickies now :P, I'm not a noob trust me i'm on ICS on my Vibrant hah, just a new device, so i thought maybe the instructions etc were different?)

:D

thanks again guys.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Super one click, yes. Sgs Unlock by Helroz, yes. And don't lose the file that is created by the unlock app. It has the info you will need to lock the phone ,if you ever have a need to.

Don't forget the thanks button :D
[Captivate General] ashok.antony:
been using it on Tmo for quite some time. It works flawlessly but as someone said already, it is just Edge. No 3g. That and no official updates. With the ROMs available here, who needs official update anyways? The rooting would void your warranty
[Captivate General] rodcpierce:
Sorry to revive this thread, but Im going to I-Wireless (T-Mobile affiliate) from Sprint, and me and my wife just bought a pair of Captives off of XDA here. Do you think I will notice a big difference in speed going from Sprint's 3G service to T-Mobiles Edge? Sprint 3G is kind of spotty here anyhow, so Im mostly on 1G whenever in a building or house. Is Edge comparable to Sprint's 1G service, or better? Im hoping its better, as the Sprint 1G service is very slow!
[Captivate General] Wdustin1:
There's probably about the same, anyway you look at edge network is unbearably slow lol
[Captivate General] studacris:
Edge is 2g...so theoretically it should be about twice as fast as 1g.
[Captivate General] dchawk81:
I just switched my Captivate to Edge and it's about as fast as my Sprint 3g was during the day.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Just in case anyone wanted to get rid of all signs of AT&T, you can change the shut down animation to any series of PNG's you want pretty easily. The shut down PNG's are in RES_cappuccino.apk here:

/system/framework/RES_cappuccino.apk

If you want to change the shut down animation, you can change the 25 PNG's (you can use my PNG-swapping tutorial thread if you don't know how =) ) found here:

RES_cappuccino.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/power_off_001.png to power_off_025.png

Just swap out the 25 PNG's with whatever you want.

Oh, and the boot animation is

/system/media/bootanimation.zip

but I figure everyone sorta knew that already =)
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
They really don't care about free space, don't they?

Thanks for the info.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
Haha, I know, right?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
dang, wow.. hmm, you know what's weird....V@no and i were chatting in another thread about experiencing any delays or lags anywhere with this phone and the title of this/your thread reminded me that there is indeed a stutter on the shutdown animation with my phone. the boot up animation is super smooth though and i was thinking i would not mind keeping the boot up but just deleting the shutdown one, but i had figured they were the same sequence.

it's super they are not!

is it possible to shrink all this shut down nonsense to as little as possible?

gave ya a thanks!
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
The best option, in my opinion, is to just swap the png's with solid black ones. I wouldn't suggest just deleting them, cause the xml's will still reference the missing png's and it might cause trouble (might not, too, but without recovery, I'd err on the side of safer =) )
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
So for the bootup animation, can we just use any animations out there, like the ones i use for the atrix, or it still needs to be specific? Just trying to be safe lol.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
For the heck of it I've tried animation from UOT kitchen, it worked just fine, but because images are for smaller resolution they displayed with large black border around them, other words not in full screen.
[LG Nitro HD] itiskonrad:
For the boot animation, you can use whatever you want, yeah. I copied my old one from my x10 (edited some of the PNG's just for fun =) ), and it works just fine. If the resolution of the boot animation is lower than the nitro's screen, it'll just show the animation centered with a black background.

If you want to use the Atrix ones, I'm sure you can just stretch each of the png's in the zip to 1280x720, and they'll play just fine without a black border
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
Cool! thanks! will try it tonite.

I have the AT&T branded Xperia Play (r800at) and the Messaging Application that I assume is of Sony's own design, (This is my first Android phone.) has been force closing or stuttering everytime I open up the application.

I've had this phone since Day 1 of its release on the AT&T network and as far as I can remember this problem has plagued me. If anyone has any idea how to fix this I would be extremely grateful.

ICS with bluish low colour

Hi,

I Have the same issue, mine shows bluish low colour. i flashed both kernels with same results more so...

Model = i9000

Android Version = 4.0.3

BB = I9000UGKG3

Kernel = 3.0.8-FuguMod

any suggestions please? :|
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abobobilly:
Okay here is a little update. (Its not a complaint as i know it'll be resolved hopefully)

I flashed the Voodoo Color Kernel and there was a significant difference.

The "Yellowish" tint was gone.

But while at 0% Brightness, the screen is Darker than usual ... Its just as Dark as it is on a SpeedMod Kernel ... which is, lets just say ... NOT GOOD FOR EYES AND BATTERY.

The screen looks satisfactorily better above 0% Brightness. I have noticed that if you keep the Brightness Level in/around 10% ... you will feel the difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abobobilly:
EDIT: My Apologies

Yellowish Tint is STILL THERE :p

It took me a while to notice it.

But this time (i mean after flashing the Voodoo Color Kernel), the Yellowish Tint was quite less than before.

However, while using the "Flash Light Utility" ... it displays a 100% WHITE, which makes me assume this Yellowish Tint has something to do with "Theming" as the Phone Itself (after flashing OneCosmic's ICS) is display the colors just fine.

well i think ill have to wait for the next onecosmic's release or kernel fix or something like that..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
My initial impressions using my Galaxy Nexus LTE with my Denon AHC710s (a relatively sensitive pair of dynamic IEMs) straight from the headphone port without any amplification is that it sounds excessively bright. I usually don't use built-in equalizers to color sound output but I found that turning down the treble in the built-in EQ helps getting a much flatter response from the GN. Has anyone else experienced this, or is this due to my particular equipment (or lack thereof)? I'm wondering what other people's experiences are with the timbre of the GN. Perhaps there is some variation between devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Yeah I've also noticed that the Nexus is quite a bright source but not so much that it bothers me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] e-dub:
used it as an mp3 player for the first time this week with my super.fi pro 5 and i sort of noticed it. i FAR prefer it be bright rather than lacking high end.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
First of all, I've almost never heard of anyone using the term "bright". It's kind of a nose-in-the-air way of saying the highs are boosted too much...never understood why people use terms like that.

Secondly, messing with the in-engine EQ will destroy your battery life in an Android phone...you're looking at dropping more than 30% music-listening usage by applying an EQ filter. Granted, that means you'll get like 24 hours instead of 30 (which will still be irrelevant since the OS, screen, and various modems will drain a lot more)...but still.

Thirdly, I've only listened to one song via headphone with the Nexus and it sounded about the same as the Galaxy S II (using 2 different Sennheiser models: HD555 and HD448). Yes, they're a bit boosted in the highs, but it's not a big deal. The difference is almost negligible (especially without utilizing an external amplifier), and if you're that much of an audiophile to care you probably shouldn't/won't be using your smartphone to play music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
Wow, somebody is a bit of a snob. Perhaps your nose is up in the air...

First of all, I'm an audio engineer. I record and mix music all of the time. "Bright" is a term very often used in the music world. Referring to the musical timbre of an instrument or a recording as "bright" is absolutely a correct and professional way of describing sound quality. I honestly don't know where you get off telling people what terms they should or shouldn't use.

Secondly, like you said yourself, "messing" with the EQ settings barely affects real-world battery usage, but in your opinion, nobody should be "messing" with it at all. Huh? In case you didn't know, there ARE people who know what they are doing when they "mess" with an EQ. To tell people not to use a tool provided to tweak music to their listening preference is a bit over the top.

Thirdly, who are you to say that "a bit boosted in the highs is no big deal"? I'm sorry, I didn't know you had absolute authority of other people's ears and knew what was best for everyone. If people don't like the high-end boost that the device provides, why does it bother you so much that they'd like to tweak it? I'm sorry that you're so offended by this.

You talk about snobbery with people using the term "bright", but you've displayed the most snobbery in this thread so far. It's really not your role to tell people what they are hearing with their own ears is "no big deal". And no, you don't need to be an "audiophile" to hear that highs have quite a decent boost on the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FrayAdjacent:
Not a musician, are you?

I play guitar... and 'bright' is a perfectly applicable word for a tone that has more bias toward the treble end.

Bright

Tinny

Brown

Dark

Thick

Chunky

Strat-like

Round

I could go on and on with words used to describe tone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
So you'd say it's a bit treble-heavy, but not too much so?

What's interesting on my end is that I've noticed it's really, really treble-heavy. So much so that I think anyone would notice it immediately, regardless of past listening experience. So I think that you are probably not experiencing the same tonal quality on your device, which makes me suspect my experience is caused by a combination of the GN and my earphones.

Unfortunately I'm on vacation right now and don't have any of my other headphones to test this theory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Its very likely that everyone's devices have a different timbre to them. Even "matched" reference monitors manufactured in the same place don't share exactly the same frequency responses. I find the GN's output acceptable after a little DSP applied. I've never found it excessively bright, it sounds more airy to my ears
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
This makes sense for loudspeakers and headphones, but I'm trying to abstract away from the effects of the headphones and isolate the tonal quality of the audio source. Since we are talking about a piece of solid state electronics, even though it's partly analog, I would expect much less variation in timbre between devices of identical design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
You missed muddy lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Galaxy s 2? Are you giving the Gs2 more credit than it deserves? My nexus sounds a lot closer to the Wolfson in my atrix. They are a little different in sound, but if somebody asked I wouldn't recommend one over the other as far as sound quality. They're about equal, but the Gs2 doesn't even come close. Oh yeah. You can take your nose down now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbeebe24:
Even if our devices all have identical timbre our individual perception of it still won't be, as you already know. Like I said before, I enjoy the high frequency response of the GN. It doesn't sound overly bright to me at all. Maybe the audio you've tested contains a lot of high freq. content
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Wow. You fail in every category. Bright is the word that should be used. You are definitely NOT "hotleadsingerguy" or you would know this. And who are you to tell someone what sounds good to their ears?
