Verizon gets pretty good Android handsets IMO.

I just recently moved one of my AT&T lines to Verizon. Prior to that I was with Sprint. Sprint's data speeds were horrendous in my area and EVERY area in traveled too. I can't even imagine what its like after the Iphone release. Voice was always good on Sprint. AT&T's data blew sprint out of the water. Verizon is as good if not quite as fast 3g wise as AT&T but its incredibly reliable. 4g is blazing. 3g speeds are usually 1 - 1.8mbs on Verizon 3g. 4g pushes 15mbs. AT&T's 3g was anywhere from 800k to 4mbs. Verizon is definitely more stable and works in more places.

Both are leaps and bounds better than Sprint. Also with Sprints $10 premium add on its the same price as Verizon if you use Google voice or another data type service for texting. Which is what I do and saves me the $20 a month. I don't need many minutes since if I get low I can use google voice and GrooveIP for free minutes. Once its set up and configured it works great even over 3g.

In other words, jump ship the grass is greener. Sprint's service has taken a dump the last few years and they run a serious risk of bankruptcy before they can put all the spectrum they have to any real use. They have made one mistake after another after another for a long time now.

The LTE roms are on another site mostly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlost24:
Thanks a lot guys ^^ its really between getting the LTE nexus or GSM on tmo, an whats the deal with the litte dev support for the LTE version?

*what site josh...?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leo5111:
i moved from AT&T to Verizon and havent looked back, love my GN, but other phones are respectable too,RAZR,REZOUND are good phones too depending on youre tastes :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Rootzwiki, but if you have the choice, get the GSM version.. much better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlost24:
Cool, thanks guys great input, how much better battery we talking about?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Significant amount. LTE is quite the battery drain. All depending on use patterns of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
It's really not that bad. I mean if you hammer it on LTE it will drain quicker than usual but it's not this destroyer of batteries that people make it out to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
while LTE may destroy ur battery, u can always turn it off till u need it. there is plenty of dev support for the LTE version, and verizon's network coverage destroys all other three carriers put together.

also.. if u are going to pay for a data plan anyways, might as well enjoy the subsidy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
The GSM version works on all providers in all countries all over the earth. The LTE version works on one provider, in one country.

I think the GSM-model simply has what you may refer to as a "immensely much bigger user-base" and hence more developers than what's when you look at the cold, hard facts, is basically a carrier-phone, available on one carrier only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buff McBigstuff:
If you travel out of the country often get GSM. Otherwise get the LTE model. People wanna make LTE out to be some battery black hole but its not. Sprint vs vzw is no contest. Verizon 3g is actually usable and 4g knocks my socks off. It maintains 25 megs on a heavily loaded network and gives me 50+ when its lightly loaded. Honestly development is not really a problem for me because ICS is so good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
I can't seem to get above 7 anywhere in Denver. Any chance its my phone?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkhawkff:
It's going to vary largely due to many factors. What's your signal strength, how many other people are using 4G in your area, etc...

I was traveling through Baltimore, MD and was managing only 12 MBPS with 1 bar of signal strength on New Years Eve, which honestly, is easily more than enough for anything. Keep in mind, as time goes on, more people get 4G phones, and use them more, available bandwidth is going to go down anyway. I don't understand why people think they should get 20 MBPS anyway....what are you going to do? If you don't have an unlimited plan, what's the point? You'll use up the small amount of data allotment that you have so quick you'll never even know it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlost24:
Thanks guys i think i shall pick up the LTE tomorrow...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
I left Sprint for Verizon 3 months ago, and the extra cost is well worth it - it's like having a landline in my pocket.

As far as your assessment of the Android phone lineup, I'm not sure where you're coming from. I think they have a great lineup, although certainly it's slanted toward the Motorola line. With Google buy Motorola mobility, that should end up being a very good thing.

I also don't think they meddle with the phones nearly as much as ATT does - but I have no direct experience with ATT, just what my friends tell me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtab55:
I don't know about all your guys' locations but I live in Mesa, AZ (it is about 30 min from downtown Phoenix). I get VERY slow LTE in the city. Even with 2 bars I get ~5 down and 5 up. As far as signal strength, it isn't much different to any other 4G phones I have used. I get no data in my school's basement and the phone always seems to drop the data service. This morning I had 1X until I restarted the device. At a small town in east AZ, Verizon is the only one with data service, but it is VERY!!!! slow. 3G in Phoenix area is about .8 down (on a good day).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlost24:
Was hesitant due to what im hearing about battery life on LTE, but i guess I'll deal with battery issue since i do want the 32gig option an I'm hearing nothing but good things about Verizon, any other differences between LTE an GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evolishesh:
I drop Sprint and made the switch to Verizon. I had nothing but network problems on Sprint, crappy speed on 3g/4g network. But one thing I can say is once you make the switch to an LTE phone you’ll never go back to regular 3g/4g service! is like going from DVD to bluray. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
honestly if i were you i'd go for the RAZR MAXX. 3300mAh on a non-pentile 720p display

yeah the MAXX won't ship with ICS, but it will eventually.

plus, motorola hardware is very durable.

LTE Gnexus is quite the battery drain.

fyi, LTE users never seem to post their on-screen time, but if you're on 4G all day, expect to get a max of 2.5 hours of usage, and thats on a clean, strong signal the entire day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
god no. motorola is a company with **** policies, locked bootloaders, and false promises. go moto only if u are never going to load anything custom on ur phone. not to mention blur is the worst of the launcher customizations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Lol :) I agree on all the screen shots of awesome battery life, half the people never include display time :) lol

Look I am so l337 I got 2 days on one charge. But in reality they have 45min screen time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I use 4G LTE and I can make it through till the work day fine. With just 3G I have plenty of battery.

I say this all the time but 4G is just like WiFi. Its great when you need fast data but you don't need it on all day. I get 25mbps on LTE. I dont need that much for Facebook updates and emails.

LTE EX Galaxy Nexus - AOSP KANG

Asus Transformer - 3.2.1 OC/UV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlost24:
That sounds good, i won't be on LTE all day since i heard Verizon has extremely good service so that's good to know, your sig says your on AOSP KANG were do you get your roms from cuz i barely see any in the development section(for LTE version)...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
they make durable phones. just because they have locked bootloader doesn't make them a '****ty' company.

and as far as battery life is concerned, the RAZR MAXX will handle well with its 3300mAh battery life, coupled with Motorola's excellent radio kernels.

motoblur has come a long way. had you said that ~1 year ago i'd agree, but motoblur is totally fine compared to where it was a year ago.

did you own any motorola phones recently? seems like you haven't.

OG Droid was a huge seller, as well as the venerable DroidX, loaded it with custom ROMs and kernels, undervolted, and oc'ed at 1.2GHz. Lets just say that my DroidX gave me over 2 days of battery life with moderate-heavy usage. FYI i was running DroidX stock, rooted, and the phone flew.

also, most high end moto phones utilize gorilla glass. the nexus does not.

lets also not forget that Motorola Mobility = Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akanatrix:
In the Queen Creek area I get roughly ten to fifteen down with one to two bars. I've never gotten the fifties like some people brag about though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k.electron:
firstly i have a droid X2 so i have experience with motorola.

their phones are durable i'll give u that, but its still '****ty' because no custom kernels and they do make false promises, where are those unlocked bootloaders?

what excellent radio kernels? the x2 once drops 3g needs to restart to get it back.

motoblur is still crap compared to touchwiz or htc sense. also why cant i delete yahoo mail authenticator without the whole blur contacts FCing.

again, i own a droid X2 which was released in the last one year, so its not exactly old.

they sold well because at the time they were the only androids on verizon and again, they were durable. im just pissed because i spent 150 on the X2 which has a dual core, but no unlocked bootloader and low ICS probability. its like motorola decided to f-over people who bought these.

and i dont plan to beat gorillas with my phone so i dont really care that much. its toughened glass by corning, just not the gorilla moniker. i put a screen protector and its just fine, not a single scratch.

oh and i believe google said that motorolas hardware business will continue without interference from google, they just wanted the patents. given that, i wouldnt expect a core google device from them anytime soon. frankly im now willing to concede that the best smartphones in the world are made by samsung. equalled by apple in terms of engineering and design, but strapped with the lameIOS they don't compare.

lastly the razr is 960 x 540 and not 720p. despite what people say about pentile, the screen is the most gorgeous thing ive ever owned. watch a video on that and u'll forget other screens. the only one that i like other than this is the SGS2 screen. but the resolution doesnt match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aneftp:
I have the GN LTE.

100% agree with u on battery life. And I did the test with Netflix streaming. Bad reception. But LTE streaming killed battery in 2.5 hours on netflix. Used about 600mb data also (yes i have unlimited data).

I got 4 hours on CDMA 3G Netflix streaming. And almost 5 hours screen time on wifi streaming.

So LTE is battery killer. Heck. My car charger can't keep up with LTE battery drain if I am trying to stream movies while driving around. I got from 100% to 92% even on the charger while streaming Netflix while driving about 25 min home. I don't watch the movie. Just testing the LTE battery out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yeah more and more people are realizing this. Lower amperage chargers (like that of cars and computer USB ports) can't keep up with new LTE phones, which will drain even on the charger. Kinda sad and a ridiculous point that VZW should have seen coming when they pushed these LTE devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noesilva:
Razr Maxx is qhd not 720p n super amoled as well
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
And by most accounts its a pretty crappy AMOLED.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bethanensinger:
I think that you are confused. Keep in mind verizon gnex development section is under CDMA Gnex android development. It still can use LTE it is just under CDMA development. There are lots of roms in fact, though the one I have had the best success on is Android Open Kang Project
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtab55:
I am by power and mcdowell by the Las Sendas area. At that exact intersection I get full bars and ~12 down. My house (about 2 miles east of that) gets 1-3 and ~5 down. Plus, sometimes I will turn on in the morning and get 1X until I restart it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mac208x:
After being with att for 4 years and with sprint for a month I couldn't be happier. I love in the suburbs of Chicago and I get constant 4g connection with speeds hitting 6-9mbs all the time whereever I go. Some places have speeds that go up to 25mbs their LTE is faster than my home internet (12mb) lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwiggington:
Unless you travel alot too the middle of nowhere go with tmo i had verizon service is good cdma 3g is slower than tmo 3g lte is ok but its a battery killer hspa+ is plenty fast verizons customer service is crappy tmos plans are cheaper plus i like their customer service better but in the end do your homework go in the stores play with the phones and pick whats best for you

Please tell me if my Deep Idle is working. I imagine that there are others with the same question. Here is a picture.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
No. You need to flash the Bluetooth framework fix. I take it you are on stock/a stock based rom?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
Nope im running CM7 with Matrix kernel 11.5

also i dont use BT
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Turn on Screen Off Max Freq. Also, you mean CM9 right? And i believe the latest (a20p1) has the bluetooth fix incorporated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
CM7 with a ICS Theme and even though i dont use BT i still need to flash this? Where do i find such a God given thing? lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Sorry, for some reason i thought you said matr1x 14.5. The bluetooth bugfix is, as far as i know, only for ICS ROMs (bluetooth is always "ready" to turn on, which forces only top=on time). Turning on Screen Off Max Freq will hopefully give you some deepidle time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
Thanks bud. Not to be a nooob and all but how long does it take to initiate?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I'll get some top=off time after about 20 seconds with nothing at all in the background and using matr1x 14.5, stock ics, 100/1200, lazy and screen off max freq. I would say if you don't have anything after a 2 or 3 minutes it's not activating for some reason.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
Cool ill check that out. What ROM/KERNEL combo do u have? what the battery life on that 100/1200 set up?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chouhai:
Cool ill check that out
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I said the ROM and kernel in the post and it's in my sig too. With 4 hours of gaming and 2 hours of general internet browsing i got around 12 hours with weak 3G signal. Battery drops very little with no use, somewhere around 5%/10 hours. I havn't noticed any major battery drain OCing to 1200, just a little bit of heat on demanding games. Drain is proportional to increase in perfermance most of the time.

I'd definitely be confident going 2 days with a single charge as long as screen time is kept under a couple hours. ATM i'm playing around with different governors to get better battery life, deep idle won't be any use to me for another month or so.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
I know your running stock but there are sooooo many stock ics roms for the NS4g.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turkobr:
After booting up, open and close the camera. That works for me.

I'm on CyberGR CM7
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
Ain't that some shiznik! It worked! Thanks broski!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treyweez11:
This is what it looks like now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
This is know as the CAM bug which was fixed in ics kernels. Every time you reboot the phone your camera is active and prevents the deep idle from working. Opening and closing a camera app closes it and deep idle can start working.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Isn't the cam bug only fixable by disabling/removing google talk (or installing the non-video one)? Otherwise you are forced to open and close a camera app each time you reboot to get any top=off values.

Also, i mean true stock, google OTA. The NS4G doesn't have this yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
Could you please explain what does screen off max freq do ? I have tried to get into those things :( May be now is a nice time :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
While screen is off, allow the processor to use max frequency (stock is 1000mhz). This allows "race-to-idle" which the hardware is capable of, effectively reducing the amount of time the CPU is processing (and therefore powered), reducing power consumption and further allowing deep-idle to work.

Hey, everybody I was wondering if anyone has tryed the chainfire 3d app for the sidekick 4g wanted to try it but thought id ask if anyone has had any complications with the utility?

It works
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vguaderrama:
Thanks I installed and am playing dugeon defenders very smooth and looks great! Also is there a way around the market saying that this item isn't compatible with your device?

On the thing it side tested on sidekick 4g so idk i works i have ight mode on
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vguaderrama:
Yea dungeon defenders works I was talking about other games like soulcraft thd or any other game in tegra zone they all say isn't compatible and want to know if there's a way around that?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
U would have to get the apk file and install it from the phone if its a paid app i cant help u use google
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
well i can tell ya the tegra an normal versions of shadowgun do not work on the sidekick the phone ends up rebooting in random spots of the game (low memory issue i beleave)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] xmeatizmurderx:
I think chainfire fools the market into thinking you have a tegra based phone, but it doesn't fix the limitations of the graphics chip. I could be wrong, but I haven't gotten many of those higher end games to run very smoothly with or without chainfire. Overclocking helps a bit but not enough to make them playable IMO
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] GuestK0045:
Have any off you guys used swapper2?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vguaderrama:
I have no problems running shadowgun with not slow down or lagging at all.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] vguaderrama:
I tryed all the plug ins and opened market and it still says incompatible for souldcraft THD. If anybody has any other ideas on how to make it work. Thanks for any help!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] pintek:
I wouldn't say shadowgun is laggy for me its actually really smooth up until a point BAM phone reboots >.< done on stock rom an GO v2
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
The reboots you are experiencing from apps with a large footprint (such as Shawdowgun) are due to the device running short on memory.

Android has a great deal of trouble stopping threads labeled as services. Try uninstalling apps that insist on using services in the background. These services are able to hold on to valuable (and scarce) memory. ALso, be careful of using memory managers to shut down apps without warning. This can leave hanging pointers to memory. Put simply, this memory becomes useless because the Android memory manager (garbage collector) has no idea that it can free the space for other uses.

Constantly killing apps without allowing the OS to do its work will eventually cause the phone to crash and reboot due to issues with memory handles.

You could also be having trouble with some badly coded individual apps. Let's be honest, there is no quality control on the market. There are many poorly coded apps that have memory leaks.

Chainfire 3d is a great idea and a good start if you plan to run an app like Shadowgun on the phone. With the texture size reduced and locked in 16 bit, it can (and does) run without incident on a properly modded KJ2 device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bugyika:
Have tried anyone to play gameloft games like shadow guardian HD or GTA 3 because I tried with no luck, can anyone help me solving this problem?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
You might try changing the phone's id and the OS in the build.prop. You may be able to fool the software into booting up that way. There's no guarantees after that...

I don't consider the Sidekick to be a complete slouch, but it isn't a powerhouse either... and this is Froyo.. :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] bugyika:
Thanks I tried this and its working, I changed the model number to T959 and every game is booting fine.

[HTC Incredible S] ukyoi:
I'm a Chinese so if there are grammar mistakes in this topic, please forgive me.

Recently I flashed Virtuous Quattro Beta 9 (an ICS rom) on my Incredible S and I found it can't find ad-hoc hotspot.

I googled it and found a tool called ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher. I tried it but failed. Then I found a patched wpa_supplicant and I put it on system/bin instead of the original file. Then it can find ad-hoc hotspots but can not connect to it (It doesn't connect it when pressed connect button).

Are there any method to connect to ad-hoc hotspots on ICS? Thanks for your patience.
