I dont have access to a Verizon phone, what steps should I follow if I want calls/text and maybe 1x internet on my Epic 4G?

Pls help...

Didn't find this guide!! :confused:
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
If anyone who has everything working would like to help a fellow epic 4g user, one of our users contacted me asking for help, they've got the fascinante, and their epic 4g running with basic straight talk service but they need to pull the keys and fix mms on it, i'd do it if i wasnt so busy with life, its similar to my virgin mobile guide but i just dont have time, they need help asap so if anyone wants to be a good samaritan they need you to help them remotely. Pm me if you want to help the user. I'll probably make the switch to straight talk eventually, just too caught up to sit down and help someone program their epic straight talk settings, let alone reprogram my own.
[Epic 4G General] johntheman_692003:
will your guide work for the evo 3d being flashed to page plus?
[Epic 4G General] dongatta:
I agree justan00b. I had trouble before and have read the threads asked questions and even pm'd you. All it takes is some reading and a little time. It is much easier if you have the Verizon donor. I appreciate all the help i got from all members. It will stump you from time to time but reading over the tutorial will get you going.
[Epic 4G General] slickrichierich:
Yes this guide works. Read through it carefully and it will work. you shouldnt have any problems if you follow word for word
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
They payed a large sum of money to someone who didnt finish programming it. And also, they do not feel confident enough to do it themselves, they just want it done right but thats fine, i'll take up the job and help him myself. Thanks.

The issue here wasn't a matter of can it be done by following the steps? it was more of a, "hey" if anyone wants to make a bit of moolah for re-doing only partial amount of the steps, this guy is looking.

But that's alright, these misunderstandings happen. I'll take care of him.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesmartguyy:
Hello Everyone,

This issue has been bothering me for over a month. I have searched several "MS support forum" threads, XDA Dev threads and multiple Audi forums, but all in vain.

I am not sure if anyone in here has had any issues with the Audi MMI while using a WP7 Handset. I hope that some smart person will have a word of advice for myself. Provided below is the process that I followed for pairing and testing:

1.Cleared all the existing paired devices from the MMI.

2.Cleared all the pairings from the cellphone. (Just to start with a clean slate).

3.Paired cellphone to MMI.

4.Check marked the prompt on cellphone, to Allow MMI to access my phone books and other cellphone data.

5.Call logs and telephone directory is accessible on the MMI.

6.Outgoing Calls from the MMI work without a hitch.

Up to here, everything is good. However, I am unable to answer the call from the car's MMI. If I may paint a scenario:

A call comes in.

The audio system gets paused.

I can hear the call ring, and Caller's ID is displayed in the car.

I click "Answer" from the MMI.

The call gets answered, but the only way to get the audio onto the car's system is to pull over and yank the phone out of your pocket and click the bluetooth button on the call menu.

But 1 in 10 times it would work just by clicking answer from MMI.

I have never had any issues with my Blackberry. Is anyone else aware of a similar issue or a resolution to this?

Thank you very much!

Details:

Cellphone : Nokia Lumia 800

OS Version: 7.10.8107.79

Vehicle: Audi S5

Audi MMI Version: HNav_US_P0110_D1 (Third Generation, HDD based)

is ur phone locked by any chance (I mean have u kept a lock on the screen) if you have than try once after removing the lock

I thought of exact same thing. Tried it both ways, same result.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesmartguyy:
Stealership!!

Well, took the car to the dealership, to check for any MMI updates that might be available. In the end, the guy said that there are no updates available, and they charged my 90 bucks for the labour :(. Gotta love Audi. And the car has "New car warranty" till 2015. Glorified car wash.
[Venue Pro General] magus57:
I know I posted a while ago if this was a good replacement for my G2 - but now I'm looking to supplement it.

This would be over the other two current options, the Lumia 710 and the Radar. I love physical keyboards, and I'm assuming the screen between the three is the best (and obviously biggest). Plus, I like the reaction when I ask T-Mobile employees about it and then show them pics of it - most of them aren't even aware it exists. Front facing camera on the Radar is nice, but not a dealbreaker. They're all available to me for around the same price brand-new/off-contract.

Anyway, my concern is that it being an older phone, I'm not sure how much longer it'll be supported, and if it'll be supported into Tango/Apollo (not saying either the 710 or Radar will, though); although according to a post in this article, if Dell reps are getting them to replace other phones and it's still getting updates, I'm hoping it'll get supported for a while:

http://www.wpcentral.com/dell-shocks-world-releases-8107-os-update-unlocked-venue-pro

I'm aware of the lack of Wifi hotspot and compass, but neither really matter to me. I need a WP7 phone period (for work), and it has to be on T-Mobile, so it's just between these three phones.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Raw spec wise, the VP is 1 generation older.

It's a 4.1 AMOLED (no super, no plus, which means it's pentile)

Biggest diff is obviously the screen, the V/VP's screen isnt amazing but it's by no means bad, it's easily much better then any plain lcd it's age (but it's a year old, dunno how it compares to more recent lcds like the other 2 you mention) After using a 4.1 and 5.0" phone, I'm pretty sure there's no way I'm gonna go back to anything under 4.0" It's simply too small unless you're basically using it as a featurephone.

No WP7 device is really old enough to be EOLed yet, but the VP is a launch device so it will be among the first to EOL (whenever that is?)

The tmo one is only 99 cents on contract (if you consider that cheap) you can easily get a brand new one off ebay for less then $200. (New, unopened, and recently manufactured)

Full price: eh it's a hard sell.

On contract/less then full price: It's worth the money if you want a HW keyboard.

It's basically breaks down to: do you want the keyboard and screen size.
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
Screen Size and Keyboard make it a no brainer to me. I wont even consider reupping my contract for a new windows phone unless the screen is 4.3in minimum though. The 1st gen processor doesn't really matter much as WinPhone is so smooth...Just my thoughts.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I have both the dell VP and the 710. I have also spent time with the radar. There is no easy way to recommend, seeing how this is a basic personal choice.

Of the 3, the dell is the nicest.

Of the 3, the 710 is the fastest.

Of the 3, the dell and the 710 do not have front facing cameras.

Of the 3, the dell is by far the oldest. There were serious questions regarding mango compatibility. I doubt, PERSONAL OPINION ONLY, the dell will see Apollo.

Do not mix Tango and Apollo. They are not on the same path. Tango is considered a mango derivative, not an upgrade, most likely associated with a hardware line.

As second Gen hardware starts arriving in the coming months, the dell will fall, behind speed wise at least. So if your phone usage includes a healthy dose of data usage, you should probably factor the lack of 4g and wifi n into your decision.
[Venue Pro General] magus57:
Hmm...definitely gives me a lot to think about...anybody know how battery life compares to the other two phones? The keyboard is basically the #1 reason why I'm considering the phone, but not if there's better options. I know WP7 is smooth in general - is there anywhere the better/newer processors of the Radar/710 come in? Data speeds are a valid point, but I don't think I'll be needing much more than it provides.
[Venue Pro General] Bongo2k:
I really don't see why people are comparing 1st gen and 2nd gen. The only MAJOR difference I see is the processor, is 400mhz REALLY going to make that much difference? Not that I can think of.

Yea the camera sucks when not shooting in daylight but its a phone...And yea there's no front facing camera(a luxury not a requirement)either, in all the times of having a FF camera on my devices I only ever used it once on my Galaxy S in a Skype call.

The other advantages of this phone far outway its disadvantages.

Perfect physical keyboard

Big amoled screen

Nice quality speaker/mic due to slider mechanism

Premium look + feel

Gorilla Glass

Removable SD card, limitless expansion(if you dont care about your warrenty)

The compass not working isn't a major problem either, its just a luxury that COMPLIMENTS the gps, as long as I can use Bing/Google/Navigon maps I honestly couldn't care about the compass.

Let's not forget that software issues can be fixed, yea I know Dell haven't said much regarding the compass but that doesn't mean to say they won't fix it in the future.

I'd say go for it, until the generation gap is that big I don't think this being a 1st gen phone really makes all that much difference.

The Dell Service Manual and Windows Phone Device Manager both state that the phone has N capabilities...
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Had mine since launch, and personally while I would like to upgrade to something like the Lumia 900 the Dell really is still a good, fast and stable WP7 phone with the advantage of a unique design and the excellent keyboard. If your work usage just entails emails, viewing docs and calls there really isnt any reason not to get it.

As for support, generic devices are getting the update to 8107 so at least for now its still supported. If you can get it cheap now, do it and enjoy and wait for the real upgraded hardware with Apollo.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
It must be in error then, S1 snapdragons (such as the QSD8250 in the VP) do not support N, only B/G.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I agree with your statement.....but. It depends on how the OP acquiress the device. Get it used off Craigs list or ebay...sure....go for it...using appropriate caution. Buy it new and lock into a 2 yr contract, why? Why lock into a contract with an old phone. There is no difference in 400mhz is like saying all cars drive 60mph. Yes, thats true. Side by side there is a distinct difference in the speed of getting your data. If you choose to not see that, thats ok. sitting side by side with my Droid Bionic, there is NO comparison speed wise. The VP is a clear second choice. Even with the 710, speed wise, its a clear second place.

Now, the OP said data is not primary in their use of the phone. In that I agree that speed should not be a problem then. But I will fall back, once again, on old hardware, and a 2 yr contract. At the end of that contract, the Dell VP will be 3yr+ old hardware.

But.....the thing is pretty...the screed is very good...the keyboard is nice. Go for it if speed and age are ok with you. You wont be dissatisfied.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

I've never got the wifi N to connect, ever. I played with all the frequencies, and bands, etc. Had a connection to the MS DEV team for WP, and they confirmed, to me, no n with the Dell...at least the original dell vp.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I agree the Dell is not a good choice to get on a contract now, I dont think the other 2 WP7 choices on Tmo are any better either. The Radar and 710 storage is pitiful and the screens are smaller, and in a few months there will be better devices with faster data and more storage, probably not with a hardware keyboard but with big enough screens to make it easier to adjust.

I dont think the age of the hardware is too relevant, the Radar and 710 are themselves old tech compared to the current range of android phones, even compared to the iphone. The Dell still works beautifully though, and is one reason I dont feel the itch to get something else. Tough choice, but all told I would still pick the Dell for non-contract use, and wait for something better if it is going to be put on a contract.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
T=Mobile is notorious for low ended hardware, especially with Windows Devices. The Radar and Lumia follow that path. I am more familar with the Lumia. Though I am happy with the device in that its 4g and wireless N, The look and feel are not what I would decide to move to for a primary 2yr phone. I too am looking very closely at the Lumia 900.

I've always hoped that TMO would begin to offer a couple of mediium to higher ended phones in the Windows space. Even a Samsung would be a change. But continued reliance on HTC and low end hardware overall, just makes me doubt TMO's commitment to quality.

I say again, if you can get a DELL VP off contract, its well worth it. On contract though, its an old phone thats just getting older. Think about phone design, testing, etc. and how long that takes. Then remember the DELL was released in Dec 2010. That means the design and hardware pushes back to close to, if not into, 2009. Thats a long time for a phone, hardware design wise.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
I can vouch that the V dates back to early 2010/late 2009 as prototype roms are known from back then.

The VP is essentially a V+keyboard, so hardware wise it's the basically the same. The V/VP are some of the last S1 devices released, with the VP being a WP7 launch device.

Looking around: are there really that few choices for WP7 device on TmoUSA? I bought my VP for unrelated reasons.

Looking on wikipedia, pretty much all S2 WP7 devices are for at&t for US markets, or pretty much all but tmo?

Depending on your work you might not even notice the difference from S1/S2, if it were me I'd (and under the rather large assumption all device drivers are of the same quality):

I'd pick the VP for the larger screen if you wanted 3g on tmoUSA.

The fact it's only 4.1 isnt saying much, but it means jack how fast your phone is if the screen's so small you can only look at 1/20th of a page/whatever at a time.

If it wasnt tmo, something like the lumia 900/titan 2/focus s are pretty good otherwise (ignoring price)

If you want a HW keyboard, the VP is the only(?) tmoUSA 3g supported device.
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
If you must have a keyboard, nothing compares to the DVP. I've owned both the HD7 and the DVP, and I prefer the HD7. You can find those pretty cheap on Craigslist or eBay, 4.3" screen, decent, not great but better than the DVP, camera, and it has full unlock and custom roms if you like to tinker.

The DVP is a much prettier piece of hardware. I'll give it that. The screen is great compared to the HD7.

I would wait just a little longer and see what TMO releases. I still have faith that a Nokia, 800/900 will be coming. A TMO HDx successor would be great if I had an ultimate request.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Now wouldn't that be grand!!! A nokia 800/900 on T-Mobile. I'm crossing everything for that. However...patience is required. I understand AT&T has a 45-90 day exclusive window on the 900. So the earliest we could possibly see it is June-ish. And, I believe the 800 has yet to be picked up in North America.

Which ever the next device, consider a higher end model. This should allow updates to Apollo possible. I have also heard through the birdies that the first Apollo internal testing builds are ready. So hopefully we should be hearing things about that shortly.
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
As nice as the 4.3" 900 sounds, I wouldn't second guess picking up the 800. They are both amazing looking phones. Why TMO picked the 710 over the 800? We may never know.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Possibly for the same reason why they dont have the galaxy nexus (tmo previously was the launch partner for every other nexus, and the g1), they're trying to shoot themselves in the foot?

The newest device they have seems to be the HTC amaze, which at first impression from the specs is just a rehash of the htc sensation, possibly a varient of the sensation XE? (which is only months old)

Has tmo had any flagship device since last year (as a major launch partner i mean, "oh we also carry" things dont really count)?

The closest flagship wp7 device they had was the HD7, which at&t turned around and got the HD7S?

The titan/II and lumia8/900's would count as flagship devices, and the titan's are At&t devices.

Basically, tmoUSA's been sitting on their butts for the past half year or so?

They're lacking flagship devices on both fronts basically?

Until someone releases flagship AWS devices, you're not gonna see anything above edge bringing over a device.

If you dont mind that you could simply pick any unlocked device available, like the lumia 800. Amazon is selling unlocked international 800's.
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
TMOUS had the Sensation which I would consider a flagship. I had one, and after rooting and s-off it was amazing. You're right about the Amaze being a rehash. Slightly better camera and faster data speed (at the sacrifice of battery) is the only difference.

I use to buy unlocked international devices before TMO had 3g. I can't go back to edge speeds though. I wouldn't complain if they had hspa aws bands. Doesn't even have to be hspa+...

I'm waiting for pentaband chips to become more common. Its not too far down the road (I hope).
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
It's getting off topic, but the galaxy nexus is itself pentaband.

Buy a GSM galaxy nexus, it supports 850/900/1700/1900/2100, pretty much only missing 800.

Really makes you wonder why tmo doesnt have it, it's literally just a stamp of approval if you look at the nexus S (pretty much unmodified, launched as the AWS varient)

You could argue that carriers such as at&t and tmo are blocking cross-supporting devices from launching, there's nothing stopping a manu from simply not specifically releasing it in the US.

I believe it's not the chips per-se that determine what bands they support, but what amps the manufacturer puts in them. HTC is notorous for cutting corners and putting in the absolute minimum needed for a varient.

Hopefully nokia or samsung will make a WP7 phone that's at least triband or higher, preferably quad/penta. Nokia's already got experience with pentaband devices, they were like the first, or close enough.

It really doesnt matter which os you like, only that there's plenty of people on the wrong side of the fence for 3g :(
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I thought I read that all those bands were not available. They were all listed but not all selectable. I don't own the nexus, nor have I played with it. Just a side article I read somewhere. I could be mistaken, most likely am....
[Venue Pro General] magus57:
Thanks for all the info/help, guys - I went ahead and bought it for $230 plus $4 overnight shipping, hopefully should have it tomorrow to start playing with. I'll post my reactions (and any questions) soon after.
[Venue Pro General] magus57:
So I've been playing around with it for a few hours now (typing on it right now)...and I'm not sure if it was worth it.

I mean, the phone itself is really nice (although I imagined the keyboard to be a bit bigger), the OS is smooth and up-to-date (and I found all but a few non-essential apps off my Android phone)...but where do I go from here? Customization seems a bit lacking (why can't I hide stuff in the app list if it's already on the homescreen?), and there's a few annoyances (can't select text in the browser...really?)...

Anybody have some tips/advice to hopefully make me regret my purchase less? I guess if anything, ~$10 lost on shipping isn't too much...
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
From what I've seen the GT-I9250 (ie the main gsm model) is pentaband enabled. Those are only 3g bands though, the gsm model does not support LTE though. There's no I9250A/T models which would match what the NS was split into.

It's not the 1st penta or greater device period, but I believe it's the first android with that. Until Samsung or Nokia releases a quadband or higher WP7 still only has triband devices at best.

Those sound like issues you're having with WP7 itself and not anything VP (or any other wp7 device) specific.

I myself cant say I would use my VP as a primary, due to Android fitting my useage profile pretty much exactly, but that's just personal preference.

WP7 itself has (and allows) very little customization (from what I've seen) so either you like it/make do or you cant really do anything about it.

You could interop unlock and fiddle with the core os for customization, but that's currently not possible on the VP(?), just as much there's not much in the way of available mods overall for the VP(?)
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
Hmmm, from your discussions, I personally assumed you were aware of what you were getting. The OS is locked, similar to the iPhone. Customization is extremely limited, similar to the iPhone. Comparison to Android is very small. You might say like comparing apples and oranges. Though Apollo is said to open up user configurable items a bit more, it will never be confused with android open source, mods or hacks.

After 2 yrs of playing with android, I due sided I simply was not interested in that type of customization. Though you can add , move or remove most tiles in wp, and change background colors, if you're looking for multi screens, wallpapers and other types of creativity, you may wish to eat the $10 and send it back
