I've flashed every rom and keep going back to BeastMod (tmobile rom). Flash your stock kernel (at&t/rogers) and push the touchwiz30 apk from our device (much smoother for some reason) and you have an awesome rom. Again to each their own this is just my 0.02
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] GuestK003:
I'm starting to hear negative things about the development of this phone. Like it's the odd-ball of the GS2 family, and won't be developed on too much....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
You have no idea what your talking about theres a ton of development going on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] garu12:
Yea a little due to the diff chipset which we need for LTE data. But on the other hand its the same as the T-mobile version and the Telus Hercules.(minus lte). So in some ways we have like 4 different phones that are one. If you count the skyrocket/gs2 lte (rogers) versions. I was a little worried at first too but I use the Tmobile section for roms more than this thread and they have a few good devs. Together it feels pretty solid. Also its pretty new too. I just really want ICS already and then I really couldnt care less lol

here's a amazing software which can root any device running 2.1,2.2,2.3 version.

yes it true has been tested on many devices.

tested on following device.

HTC Sensation (G14)	Galaxy Nexus (i9250)	LG Optimus 3D (P920)

HTC Wildfire S (G13)	Galaxy Note (I9220)	LG Optimus 2x

HTC Desire S (G12)	Galaxy S II (I9100)	LG Optimus LET

HTC Incredible S (G11)	Galaxy S (I9000)	LG Optimus Black

it installs an App called AnTuTu Battery Saver on your phone at the time of rooting, it can be easily removed later.

superuser updated to 3.0.7

i will report official site once i find it.

enjoy and report back if it works.

To use this tool, all you need is a Windows PC, device drivers, usb cable and the device. Just grab the tool and start rooting your Android phones.

note:it can be used for unrooting

Sprint officially announced that its very first LTE tower cluster is now operational, thus marking yet another significant milestone in its Network Vision plan. The said tower array blankets the town of Kankakee, Illinois, which is located 60 miles south of Chicago. What Sprint also said is that field testing of its LTE infrastructure has been completed, meaning that the aggressive LTE rollout it announced earlier this year is still on track.

And with no apology whatsoever.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:

[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
They apologized by charging a $2 fee to pay online.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I heard they cancelled that charge.
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
They did, The Verizon customer world spoke up and basically said hell no in majority.
[Epic 4G General] bigray327:
I wonder which phones Sprint is giving to those people to test the new network.
[Epic 4G General] CardnalSyn:
So, lets see....

Ive been paying $10 extra per month for a service that is not and will never be in my area. And if/when LTE does show up in my area, ill have to by another phone in order to use it. Seems like Ive been ripped off.

EDIT: Make that $20/month and 2 new phones since my wife has one too
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Heh, according to Sprint you are paying for the extra amount of data that smartphones use. Even though I thought my Palm Pre used a reasonable amount of data as well and that didn't have the surcharge. The iPhone 4 has no 4G and they pay the $10 too.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
It's a premium data fee. It's on ALL smartphones. It's NOT a 4G fee. Move on.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
And technically no one has every forced you to renew your contract...
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
!

Samsung did by making this phone.

The temptation was too great, resistance was futile.
[Epic 4G General] CardnalSyn:
That's odd...cause my blackberry doesn't have this charge. that's about as valid as claiming unlimited data but then cancelling the contract because you use too much.

I hadn't renewed anything...fanboy
[Epic 4G General] R3537L1F3:
Actually sprint mostly considers android and iphones smart phones. And not all android phones and none of the iphones use 4g but all have the $10 fee

Not yet rooted tree plant 4G
[Epic 4G General] poit:
You must be on an old grandfathered plan, because this is what I see on the Sprint Blackberry page:http://shop2.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/blackberry_plan_details_popup.shtml

"Some important things to know about BlackBerry® smartphones

Plans for this phone require our $10/mo. Premium Data add-on charge in addition to one of the plans below."

And in smaller print about half way down the page it says

"Effective 1/30/11, monthly service plan rates for this phone increased to require the monthly $10 Premium Data add-on charge. Phone requirements: Certain phones require activation on a plan that includes data, other select plan or add-on. Premium Data Add-on: Smartphones include BlackBerry®, Android™, Windows® Mobile, Palm , Instinct® family of devices and other select devices."

There, I've run rings around you logically.

Anyone know if they still plan on pursuing wimax or if they plan to just go with lte and phase out wimax?

I'm concerned because I've barely ever gotten to use it and now its sounding like I never will.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
WiMax will continue to be supported until the end of 2013.

Check out these maps

This is the current EVDO 1900mhz PCS coverage in Atlanta

Green is 5/5 bars. Yellow is 4/5 bars. Red is 3/5 bars. Blue is 2/5 bars. White is one or zero bars.

This is what the LTE/EVDO 1900mhz PCS coverage post network vision will look like :D

Finally, THE 800mhz SMR LTE/CDMA coverage post network vision :eek: :eek: :eek:

This is where I got this (definitely a good read), SOURCE
[Epic 4G General] toadlife:
I just added my wife to my account and changed our plan to a family share plan and the $10 premium data charge was dropped from my account. I expected both of us to have to pay the ten bucks on top of the $120 a month the plan cost, but it wasn't required for either phone.

:confused:

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Oops. I was wrong. The $10 charge does apply to both our phones. Oh well, that's what I expected. Still $50 cheaper than Verizon!
[Epic 4G General] tkeyes:
thats an pix cool, but without lightsquared, can they still to do it? sprint's just going to have to find or new partner and/or buy the parts of clear it doesnt own.
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Just a guess here, but part of what's great about network vision is it allows Sprint to reconfigure how they use their spectrum pretty quickly. That means that they can use any part of the spectrum they own for LTE service. If Lightsquared can't get their system working on Lband, they still have options.

I wonder what band the LTE cluster was on? There is no mention of Lightsquared in any of the stories about the Kankakee LTE deployment.
[Epic 4G General] toolegit:
When I had my Moment I didn't have to pay the $10/charge, grandfathered in. My Epic and my wife's Evo Shift we're paying it. I gave my Moment to my son, he had to pay the $10/mo. Then he went back to his Seek, no $10/mo for him. Put him on my Palm Treo 800w, no $10/charge....

[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
You have no idea. Even rooted and updated to 2.2 it still lagged so bad you couldn't answer a phone call in time on a daily basis.
[Epic 4G General] tkeyes:
it has to on the band that sprint uses the 800/1900mhz. if the lightsquared deal is ok'd then it would use the 1600mhz. and clear uses 2500mhz.

again ( and it's mentioned in one of the press releases by the way ) , Sprint specifically chose the TEXAS cities and Atlanta because of the AT&T corporate locations in those places ....... kinda like letting AT&T know "Hello - we're right here in your yard already , you're not the only kids on the block anymore" **** But I'm still sticking to my totally unbiased assessement that TEXAS ROCKS !!! ****

Oh man... Yes, it really was. I gave it to my girlfriend when I got my Epic about a year ago. Finally replaced it for her with her own Epic for Christmas. Her dealing with it for so long is a testament to her patience. Probably a good sign in regards to her dealing with me too, I suppose... :D

Sprint sucks when it comes to making strategic network decisions and partners. Nextel merger was a disaster. Clearwire stake was a letdown. And Lightsquared partnership is stillborn.

[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Besides a focus on metropolitan areas, I do not think there will be a specific pattern.
[Epic 4G General] bdbc:
I'd like to hear from someone that is making use of the new Sprint LTE towers, to see what kind of speeds they're getting.

On another note, I would have expected Sprint to install LTE Advanced technology instead, from the start. That way, instead of looking like they're way behind the game against Verizon's LTE, they would look revolutionary. Are the costs just still too high for Advanced to be integrated right now? From what I've been reading elsewhere LTE Advanced is mature enough (technology-wise), but maybe I inferred too much from those articles.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
They are, lte-advanced software isn't available yet, Sprint will update the towers when it is. There won't be any lte advanced phones until 2013 though.

[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
5G is being worked on, sprint will be first again with that. No one can use the LTE on Sprint right now except the technicians working on it.

So someone in Samsung, Ericsson, or Altech will be able to tell you the speeds. I originally heard when it was being tested in Phoenix that it was around 56 mbps down and 30 up. I haven't heard anything on 5G speeds but expect double the throughput
[Epic 4G General] bdbc:
Are they seriously going to call it 5G? Until they reach speeds of 100Mb/s, they aren't even real 4G... Now they're just making crap up..
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
5G? They first have to get true 4G speeds...
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
I'm so tired of my so-called 3G speeds, at this point if they release LTE in my area and call it 5G, fine. I'll go with it.

I just want something usable! 50~300kbps is trash! Give me 5mbps+ consistently and I'll call it whatever Sprint likes.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Wish I had 300ish speeds... 50 sucks. Give me 600 or so and everything works fine.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
Tulsa is a messy hodgepodge of 3G. At the areas served by network vision towers (I assume) I get 1800kbps or more with great inbuilding coverage. In other areas I get 100 kbps at most. The tower serving my parents' house is 200 to 450 kbps depending on the time of day with meh indoor coverage. The tower that serves my university dorm room is erratic with great (800kbps) speeds some days to less than 100 on others.
[Epic 4G General] :
So 5G could be a combination of wimax/LtE
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
First off 5G is fifth generation networking. There is no standard. FCC lower the data speeds for networks to be considered 4G. This was all over the news a year ago. 5G is LTE-Advanced or WiMax 2 which is being tested in Europe right now.
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
3GPP standard 4G hasn't been reached. 5G is meant to be an answer to today's 4G and 3G tech issues like roaming which isn't easy to accomplish with LTE. 5G will allow for multi carrier aggregation across multiple operators.

Truth be told, the G's are arbitrary. Networks should be called what they really are, LTE, Wimax, HSPA, Ev-Do, Edge, 1xRTT

However, I am quite tired of Sprint's blatant deception. Telling OEMs to label 1xRTT as 3G is downright shady. Not only that but if it weren't for Sprint Wimax and LTE would have been 3G technologies. Sprint forced the 3GPP to lower their standards (admittedly unreasonably high).
[Epic 4G General] bdbc:
This

And definitely this.

Some of us have actually read the marketing and technical textbook blather. This s**t by Sprint and the others is insulting. 'Brainwash by terminology' only works on the Fox News fans (which unfortunately is becoming societal norms).
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
All this G stuff just confuses people. I hear people saying they have iphone 4g's all the time. They are waiting for the iphone 5g to come out they say. Then they come out with the new wifi chipsets they are calling 5g....jeez people are going to sooooo confused.

Detroit. The 6th largest metropolitan area in the country. Some of the wealthiest areas in the country. No 4G WiMax. Most 3g Speeds limited to 20-200 kiloBIT. That's dial up speeds.

Sprint is a joke. I can't wait for my contract to end.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Seriously read around. 80% of. Network Vision will be completed by the start of 2013. Just go ahead and leave now. I rather have people on sprint who appreciate what they are trying to do.
[Epic 4G General] kireol:
What they are doing is using the money from abandoned areas like Detroit to prop up smaller areas. It feels like taxation without representation.

If things were the way you wanted them to be, Sprint wouldn't have enough money to do anything and would have to be bought out.

Also, watch it with the personal attacks.
[Epic 4G General] caileb:
Downtown Phoenix is a joke without 4G / WiMax. Another major metro area with crappy coverage.

I am out of contract and was ready to switch... up until my friend showed me a speedtest on his AT&T iPhone. He was only getting ~0.45 Mbp... which is the same as my Sprint. Maybe I'll wait things out.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Or you'll do what? Switch companies? They probably budgeted that into the equations that they were going to lose some business is soft markets. As to the taxation without representation comment, that would make sense if they were the ONLY phone company in the country, otherwise it just sounds like rhetorical exaggeration of a pretty standard business practice. Many companies pull from unfavorable markets despite how "fair" it is to customers. Try getting home insurance in FL. Also where was the personal attack? If Korey would rather be with loyal customers on his carrier he's entitled to his opinion. He wasn't calling you a bad person for it...
[Epic 4G General] lynyrd65:
You can't have your cake and eat it unless your one of the cool kids. Tulsa got shafted too.

If you switch you won't be any better off though unless A. You're on an individual plan and don't use your phone much (Verizon) B. You never leave the city or use much data (T-Mobile) C. Are willing to resort to trickery that might back fire (AT&T medianet unlimited on an unlocked smart phone).

And yes, as I've already said, I'll switch. I vote with my money. And I'll make sure that hundreds of thousands of other customers at least are aware of Sprints practices. The internet can be used as a strong voice. Just ask verizon.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Every area has a carrier or carriers that perform better. It's not personal that they don't support your area as well as others just as much as I doubt they prefer me as a customer due to the fact that I have 4g and such in my area. They choose to invest in certain areas, so you discouraging people from Sprint's "deceptive practices" may in fact lead them to a company that's doing the same thing in their area. People have choices and they should invest on how well a company is investing in their area, not how much they want a company to be investing in their area. The latter just proves a disconnection between expectations and reality and will rarely reconcile in the way the person plans.
