[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Okay, first I saw of superwipe.. pretty sure I found it though, definitely good to know. I fixed permissions and haven't seen an issue since, though it seemed to happen most when I was listening to music, so wondering if my poweramp updated and the phone doesn't like it?

Anyways, if it happens again, trust me, I will take your advice. So far the senseless rom and faux kernel combination seem far superior and more stable than anything I used on my last phone-- this is the first issue I have had(besides boot loop after crt enabler, which was fixed by disabler). Thanks for the advice and new resource.

One of the things I am confused by in the whole troubleshooting process.. this phone doesn't seem to actually shut down or restart, it seems like unless I pull the battery it only hot restarts. This has been complicating troubleshooting :(
[Networking] Trevnerdio:
So...it's probably safe to say that everyone in this forum knows about the 7 year roaming deal that AT&T has signed with T-Mobile. Does anyone have any ideas on when that will happen? And the big question...will the iPhone technically be able to be used on 3G with T-Mobile? Yes, it would only work while roaming, but would it not work for some reason? A T-Mobile rep brought up the question and I thought it was a good question. I'd like it to bring in revenues for T-Mobile...but I love my fast speed I get with T-Mobile, and 10 gazillion iPhones would do nothing but harm for that.

**Updated** Please, if anyone can check their Android phone (via *#0011#) and post if it says band II along with the city you're in at the time that it shows it! We need to find out which cities have been refarmed to 1900MHz for 3G/4G.

So, go forth and discuss :)

List of pentaband UMTS devices:

T-Mobile Galaxy S II (T989)

Nokia N8 and N9

T-Mobile Vibrant (T959)

Galaxy Nexus (HSPA version)

...expanding
[Networking] synaesthetic:
It'd be 2G roaming. The carriers' 3G networks are incompatible. While AT&T devices will work on T-Mobile's EDGE data, it shouldn't be common enough to impact our speeds much. The only way this could possibly happen is if both AT&T and T-Mobile started selling exclusively pentaband HSPA devices. Which would be awesome on so many levels.
[Networking] Trevnerdio:
It's 3G, check Engadget. I'm sure it's 2G as well. And I know of at least one phone that is pentaband UMTS...mine, the Galaxy S II lol
[Networking] synaesthetic:
The OP specifically asked about the iPhone, which is unable to get 3G on T-Mobile's network. So if an AT&T iPhone were to roam on T-Mobile's network, it would not get 3G speeds.

Edit: The Galaxy Nexus is also pentaband, and so are the Nokia N8 and N9. :) The original Vibrant is also pentaband.
[Networking] Longcat14:
The Skyrocket is also pentaband, so I'll be able to mooch off of 42.2mbps HSPA+ when I get an LTE throttle. LOL
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Yes, but is it DC-HSPA+? If not, no 42.2Mbps for you! :D
[Networking] Longcat14:
Skyrocket has a more advanced modem.

Well, it's really just the T-Mobile radio with LTE slapped into it, so yes, I do have 42.2Mbps. ;)
[Networking] Das_mobile:
has anyone tried the AT&T skyrocket on T-Mobile? Does it support HSPA+ AWS? AFAIK, only LTE works on AWS for this phone.
[Networking] Trevnerdio:
Thanks everyone for the phones. I've been busy and couldn't really update the thread. The current gen iPhone doesn't have AWS, yes, but since the roaming agreement is UMTS, wouldn't that allow T-Mobile devices that have the ability to roam on 850/1900 bands the ability to connect to their 3G network? So jailbroken iPhones that are activated on T-Mobile could roam over to AT&T 3G, it's just that it isn't likely that AT&T would allow it.

Am I right in my assumption?
[Networking] synaesthetic:
I don't think AT&T would allow it, honestly.

Edit: According to GSMArena, the Skyrocket doesn't support 1700/2100 HSPA+. Only 1700/2100 LTE.
[Networking] Trevnerdio:
Thanks for the heads up. And when the others in the thread said the Galaxy Nexus, they were referring to the European version, correct?

Edit: it's 700/1700 for LTE and then the normal AT&T bands for WCDMA
[Networking] Longcat14:
Over at the T-Mobile SGS II forums, when I flashed a T-Mo SGS II modem, I gained access to 1700/2100.

All I need is a T-Mo SIM card to test if it'll connect to 3G, which I don't have.
[Networking] Lucasmpinelli:
I have the GSM Galaxy Nexus so naturally I am quite excited for this.

But the question remains... Does anyone have the slightest idea when this service will go live???
[Networking] Longcat14:
It's not as simple as touching AT&T, and roaming.

You have to be in an area where there is COMPLETELY no T-Mobile signal, it can't even pick it up when you scan for it. Then, and ONLY then, will the SIM allow you to verify it on AT&T's network for roaming.

With AT&T's larger coverage footprint, you T-Mo users should have some nice coverage while traveling.
[Networking] I2IEAILiiTY:
You can do that?
[Networking] Longcat14:
Skyrocket has the same modem as the T-Mo SGS II, except with LTE attached.

It's a different modem number, but other then LTE, it's all the same.

So yes, I can.
[Networking] cephasara:
Where do you get your information? I thought that's how it has always worked prior to this new roaming agreement. I spoke to a T-mobile store rep (not the best source of information) and he told me that iPhones on west coast had 3G access.
[Networking] I2IEAILiiTY:
Oh, so that's only on the skyrocket...
[Networking] Trevnerdio:
I've heard that T-Mo is doing some spectrum refarming on the PCS band...in other words, 3G is starting to pop up in certain markets on the 1900MHz band
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
We have LG On Screen software. But the screen is so small. Is there a way to make it bigger/fullscreen? Or, is there any alternative?

I try to type a sms using keyboard. It seem to not work well. Is there a solution/setting that I miss?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] pthacker85:
at me typing w/ keyboard works well
[LG Optimus 3D] DrGomez:
I never thought "too small" was a good definition for the screen's resolution. What exactly do you want? A higher screen resolution which would make the objects on the screen SMALLER or do you want to make them BIGGER. Both things work only if you root your phone and use a firmware/ROM which is compatible with the tool needed.
[LG Optimus 3D] cyclonmaster:
Playing android game on PC using keyboard come in my mind :)

Btw, the screen on PC exactly the same as on O3D. Seem to be useless. At least strecth it a bit might be better.
[HTC Incredible S] zingxao:
Hey there. I bought this phone today and I love it. However, I have a couple of couple gripes with it, but am not entirely sure whether it's just with my phone or the Incredible S in general.

First off, the volume buttons appears to be flimsy. I mean, yes, it's very thin and I'm not totally used to it yet, but I've noticed you can moved it from side to side slightly. This is the same for the power button, only not as noticeable.

Secondly, the soft keys. I get that they have an LCD display to make the buttons rotate, but on the search key it seems a lot brighter and a bit blurry, and I'm able to see the rotated magnifying glass underneath the non-rotated button. It's not as bright as the 'standard' non-rotated button, but it is noticeable. When I rotate the phone and the buttons rotate I'm unable to see the non-rotated magnifying glass. This is also the same, though not as bad for the back button.

And finally, the camera. I'm don't know whether this is a software/app/wifi issue, but I tested out Tango and Fring using the front facing camera and the back camera, and called my friend. He has an iPhone 4 and he came through clear. I, on the other hand (according to him at least) came through blocky and 'stuttery', with lots of pauses. Fring was worse, as the sound wasn't good for either of us, but the video seemed poor on my end.

So yeah, are my complaints common to all Incredible S'? If so, then I won't be too bothered, but I'm kinda worrying a bit because I bought the last IS in the shop, and when the salesman opened up the box to show me the phone, it didn't have any of the stickers on, and the screen had fingermarks on. He said that it was brand new, but they had used it to show another customer. I got home and tried turning it on, and there was no charge left in the battery. I looked in the box and all the chargers etc were unopened, though.

So yeah, what do you think?
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Yes it is normal for the volume rocker to rock in all directions however don't let it fool you it is very sturdy and longer lasting than the power button. Never had an issue with the volume button however the power button will require more pressure to push over time.

As for the soft keys they do blur out and it all depends what angle your viewing them from.

The. Camera on. The front of the. IncS is a piece of crap only at 1mp, I'm not sure. What the iphones resolution is but I can guarantee that it's high seeing as they advertise video calls.

Sent from my HTC Incredible S
[HTC Incredible S] chrisdeger:
From my experience with both phone the front facing camera sucks on both the only way to insure video calling works well is with good lighting
[HTC Incredible S] zingxao:
Another thing I've just noticed; again, am wondering whether this is same for everyone or just me (after the whole no stickers on the phone thing with fingerprints on the screen), but the micro USB port is kinda loose. If you tap it with your smallest finger, or if the charger is in it and move it slightly, the USB port moves.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just a bit concerned if I've paid a a fair amount of money for a 'new' phone, when it's not and there's things wrong with it.

Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] shields360:
Everything seems pretty normal. Bearing in mind it is not a closed case like the iphone series, therefore you have to expect movement with parts of the phone.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
My phone. Came the same way dude and yes the usb port moves on all of them it adds a bit of flexibility so it's not as easy to damage.

There is nothing to worry about. There was no plastic on mine and there was finger prints on it. The sales people generally boot them up once to avoid a waiting period when setting up your phone for the first time. They boot them up than shut them down so they can boot up fast using fast boot. The less time waiting for the phones the more time spent selling phones.

[HTC Incredible S] zingxao:
Oh okay dude! Thanks for the replies. I think I look for faults when they're not there lol.

So yeah cheers for clearing that up.
[HTC Sensation] dewinsman:
Isit possible to port WP7 onto Sensation with Sony Bravia Engine and Beats Audio?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
First, no. It's been asked multiple times.

No because 1) it's illegal since you can't buy a windows license, 2) wp7 is not open source, 3) doesn't support dual core chips, 4) afaik, Sony doesn't have a wp7 phone, so why would bra via engine exist over there?, and 5) is there any HTC wp7 device that has beats in the first place?

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Bionic Beast:
As geoffcorey said sadly, no. WP7 is a very clean and business effcent OS. But if you want it you will have to buy a Windows Phone. But if you search around the forum im sure you could match and even surpass every aspect of WP7 you like and have it on your Sensation
[HTC Sensation] aamir123:
There is an miui themed like wp7 in the development section. Very smooth using now
[HTC Sensation] GladiatoRiley:
Launcher 7

No, but there is a very nice launcher that actually has some extra features.

Launcher 7

Sorry can't post links yet :(

But it runs smoothly on my Sensation :)

[Kindle Fire General] Hironel:
Can someone give me a list of successful kindle fire custom roms? like ubuntu or anything else?
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
"successful" is a bit subjective... depends on what you think that means.

CM7 seems to work very well.

ICS likewise but last I checked Video and Sound wasn't working and for some, that would be a tad bit unsuccessful.

Ubuntu, is not really a ROM, more like an add on which you load on an existing ROM so I don''t think you would put that into the ROM category.

Most of ROMS are located in the developer thread. check those out.
[Kindle Fire General] Pkt_Lnt:
Google search for "kindle fire custom rom" turns up many links.

CM7, ICS, MIUI, MoDaCo, BiffMod-Blaze-0.5-Beta, probably many more popping like flowers in the springtime sun. ;)
[Kindle Fire General] seven@iimind.com:
wow ubuntu…… if there it is, I'll try it

Just stumbled across a port [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1435655] of a chinese customized rom whilst browsing the htc hero forums.

looked on their site and it turns out there is a version built for the desire!

http://ligux.com/t-731-1-1.html

i am completely unskilled in anything to do with with building/translating android roms, would be awesome if somebody could translate this! looks like a great alternative to AOSP gingerbread and miui.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
so ive had this phone for 3-4 months now, and ive discovered these..really awesome things

1. great build quality, i dropped it the other day and the phone had absolutely no scratches(from my waist height, so around 3 foot? onto the pavement..) this really shocked me

2. the phone is super fast..even compared to my friend's sgs2 i9100(after installing faux's kernel at least)

3. HOLY CRAP amazing screen, i get theres blob and lines..but since they arent all that visible to me i just ignore it.. now ive popped in a movie in it today for the first time..and holy crap the colors are amazing..transformer 1 looks better on my phone versus my 1080p screen..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] henryr934:
I love mine too i just got a white one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] King_Paladin:
yeah, the phones screen is great if you can ignore the lines. but i think you got a bad fullhd tv if you think your phone is better :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phreshjoker:
Hows the white one treating you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
i watched the movie on my computer, not a tv..hehe the thing is, on my computer screen it lacked contrast, lcd/led screens never display black properly, so movies look crap compared to superamoled..which can display proper black...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Yep, phone's pretty great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] henryr934:
No problems so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DG42xda:
You're not very visually observant if you don't see the difference between OLED and typical TV screen technologies. OLED kills LCD and plasma in contrast. Black is black. I actually bought an Amaze first, because the screen looked "brighter" to me in the store. But I couldn't stand the gray "blacks" that was much more obvious in low ambient light conditions. A few other things annoyed me so I swapped it for the GS2 and I am much happier with this phone. I've actually watched a few movies on the phone because the subtle shadow detail is so amazing on Super AMOLED Plus. This is why the big buzz from CES is the OLED TVs being introduced by LG and Samsung this year. I can't wait to see these TVs in person, although I'm sure I won't be able to afford one for a while.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
i was actually thinking about the blob stuff..im quite sure our adreno 220 gpu can actually support a 720p screen..so why dont we wait and see if samsung pushes a 4.5 inch 720p phone out, and buy the replacement screen for it?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
really? is a screen transplant actually possible? cost aside ($100+ for a screen when you can just invest in the next best device, actually SAMOLED+ may be even more $$) assuming the screen's ribbon connections are magically compatible, wouldnt the software of the phone only pump out WVGA resolution and your 720p screen would have ugly black bars?

i know your what youre saying and obviously everyone agrees that samoled+ has much better quality. duh. but thats not my point. i dont think you would prefer watching a great hd movie on your phone if you have a 60"+ lcd :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
wrong

people want big tvs to compensate for their lack of ____

anyway..the effects are the same when i hold my phone within 40cm to my eyes..which i almost always do..i suppose you could sit back on the sofa watching a 60inch tv, but the effects are still crap compared to samoled..the closest ive seen is some samsung plasma tv..but still not as great as samoled..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
Uh no I like my big TV cause I like a bigger screen...O_o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
you're missing the point

this phone's superamoled screen has better contrast versus any tv out there, not people like big screen tvs because they can sit far back and still see things, i have yet to see anyone that watches a movie off a 60inch tv and sit 40cm away from it..-.-

now holding the phone 40centermeters away from my face is equivelent of watching a 50inch tv from say..4meters away why wouldnt i want better picture then?

another reasonging for larger screen tv is for higher resolution, but since the standard is around 1080p nowadays..it doesnt make that big of a difference..

i kinda hafta ask ya..

say a 40inch tv from 2meters away look the same as a 60 from 6 meters away... exactly what difference is there?

anyway the point is, phone has better contrast, looks better than all tvs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] King_Paladin:
i cant deny that this phone's display is superb. it is really great. but still, there is a big difference. i cant force you to believe me, but if dont have a 40"+ lcd and a bluray player, you can go to a local electronics store and demo a bluray movie on a big tv with at least 120hz refresh rate.

please dont use your less than 4GB torrent movies to compare a tv's video quality to this phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AznDud333:
i played the same move(720p transformers, it was a bluray version 6.55gb) and i do have a 40 inch screen, but that wasnt what i was comparing it in the first place..LCD screens will always look crap compared to superamoled.. it seems no one understands this so i'll have to bold it SUPERAMOLED displays dark colors correctly, LCD screens DOES NOT hence the reason why it'll look better on my phone than my tv

and i do have a sony 42inch tv with a bravia engine.

dark colors are crucial, with a lcd display shadows look greyish..with amoled they actually look dark.

I have had the Otterbox defender on since day one. And it protects great. Today i took it off to swap my battery and remembered how great this phone looks without it. But I'm not one to go unprotected.

I'm looking for suggestions on other cases. Something that protects but necessarily the bulk of the Otterbox. I work a office job so rugged case isn't too necessary.

Must be compatible with the extended battery.

I was looking at the SGP Neo hybrid cases but they say coming soon on the website.

Please share your suggestions. Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
Hey, i have the commuter case on for a few days now and i love it. It adds just enough bulk and size to the phone to make is sit and feel perfect in my hand. But everyones hands are different so not all will think its great. I did however order the Neo Hybrid case in Reventon yellow and should have it tomorrow or saturday and ill let you know how it is and feels along with some pics, and possibly a small review.

But so far i LOVE the commuter case. should take a look at it. i wrote up a review but i have to do a few more posts before xda lets me post it lol
