[General Questions and Answers] JGuinan007:
So my two year contract is up and I wanted to see what network was best to go with, my biggest concern is LTE and wich network is better that means T-mo is out, Sprint not ready in my area so that leaves AT&T and Verizon. Now I talked to reps at both AT&T and Verizon and nither one knew what they were talking about making outragous statements about why their LTE network was better than their compettitors. On my way out of the AT&T store the rep said one of their techs just came in and can explain it all to me. The tech seemed to know what he was talking about he showed me they are testing LTE in my area right now and showed me it was working on his phone. He told me if I got a LTE phone right now today I would get the fastest LTE around because no one is the network in the area right now unless they have an LTE phone already and have it turned on for LTE. He also told me once LTE is offically turned on here that I will lose LTE speeds because of all the other devices plugging into it but even with speeds being reduced after testing I would still get LTE speeds faster than Verizons LTE because LTE is a GSM technology and works better with GSM phones and GSM networks. Verizons network is CDMA and has to be reworked to make it compatable with LTE and right now isn't all that stable and it crashes all the time, and since the phones are set for CDMA/LTE the phone has to work harder causing more/faster battery drain. I forget all the technical words he used but the guy really seemed to know his stuff and did say that Verizon is working to make it's LTE stable and believes theyt would have everything fixed by the end of year but because it's CDMA/LTE it can never be as fast as GSM/LTE.

Anyway my question is Is he correct and AT&Ts LTE is faster than Verizons? or is that more BS with alot of technical terms thrown in?:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Stadsport:
For the most part, the number of devices connected to the network is the biggest factor. The more devices connected, the slower it will go.

There might be some truth to the fact that Verizon's LTE network is newer and therefore unstable (as we've seen in the past) but that doesn't mean it will be necessarily slower while it's working for that reason, and AT&T's LTE network is newer so I don't see how that would be a plus for them. It's true that AT&T phones are GSM, and LTE is based on GSM, but implying that strong UMTS/HSPA+ network coverage is going to magically supplement LTE coverage sounds like BS to me. This might make it easier for AT&T to roll out their LTE network for that reason, but that doesn't mean that they've even come close to meeting Verizon in coverage yet.

So, in a nutshell, there's some truth to it. It's faster for the time being since there's no one on it, but there's nothing technically BETTER about AT&T's LTE as far as I know. LTE is LTE; it just depends on the carrier's infrastructure (internet connections to towers, tower locations and coverage, etc) to determine the the quality and speed of connection.

Besides, if AT&T's abilities to keep up with new subscribers on their 3G network is any indication, it won't be long before their LTE networks is slower than Verizons ;)
[General Questions and Answers] JGuinan007:
Thanks

Thank you for clearing this up for me so your saying there is no difference between Verizon and AT&Ts LTE other than Verizon having a Larger Network right now.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kammamuri:
My first contribution to this forum is a request for help. In the following you can read what I did with my Vibrant.

1) starting point: android with eclair 2.1 stock, unlocked

2) rooted

3) Upgrade from eclair to froyo done with kies

4) want to go back to eclair to install ics passion

5) remove sim, remove sdcard, put the phone in download mode, start odin, select pit and PDA

6) hit start, odin shows following messages

Added

Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)

File analysis

Get PIT for mapping

Firmware update start

cache.rfs

It hangs here, telephone screen gets black, no progess in green status bar

7) Wait and wait. Stop odin (probably a very wrong move ...)

8) try again, nothing happens. If I try to put the phone in download mode (with the volume up/down button) or if I connect it to power I can see 3 icons on the scren:

- a telephone on the left

- a yellow warning sign in the middle

- a computer on the right

9) no way of powering on the phone, no ways to go to download mode

10) adb does not see the phone when plugged on usb

11) odin sometimes detects the phone when connected, if I try to run it again, I get the same hang as at point 6

Any suggestion is welcome

K.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
That icon you are getting is still download mode. You could pull battery to try and get in the regular one I guess.

Odin hangs on me occasionally. Make sure you run as adminastrator and don't touch cable. The newest Odin hasn't hanged on me yet too, 1.8.3 something like that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kammamuri:
Thanks for your response. If I understand, your suggestion is to:

- try again with Odin also with the 3 icons on the telephone screen

- run it as administrator

- retry until Odin is successfull

Am I correct?

K.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
Check out the MIUI guide stickied and about halfway down is exactly what you are talking about and a solution.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kammamuri:
OK, I've tried again

1) by running Odin as administrator

2) by using the PDA downloaded from here

androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant pointing to

files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=androidspin/samsung/vibrant/&file=T959UVJFD.tar

instead of the file I had on the PC (I do not remember where I got it from)

3) It stopped snowing, but probably this has not a relevant impact on adroid phones ...

and it worked, the Vibrant is alive again running stock eclair

Again many thanks to trailblazerz11.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kammamuri:
Woodrube, I've seen only now your post, thanks in any case for your suggestion too.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dssheeley1:
Ok...I'm at a point where I had no other choice but to get another replacement. I looked just about everywhere my patience would take me, and decided to give up. I hope someone could/would have a solution for me or others like me.

I had EH03 deoxed rom and decided I wanted ICS build5. So I installed CM7, I whiped cache, DLVK, and system data. Then flashed ICSb5 and GAPPS, Rebooted and stuck on ICS splash screen.

At this point USB ports wouldn't recognize fascinate. Downloaded all Fascinate drivers from Samsung, drivers for Nexus S, ADB, Android SK. You name it I got it. Nothing worked for USB detection. I even followed YT videos on turning Vista/PC off and unplug. Nothing.

After messing with data cords,(numerous ones,trying another PC), PC ports, I happened to pull plug and battery out of Fascinate at the same time, not sure what version of CWM, it was blue, came on. Luckily I had two Nandroid backups on SD.

I flashed Nandroid back to CM7 successfully. Rebooted fine and hooked to USB but still not recognized. At this point I was able to get into recovery using ROM. So, I did something stupid...lol...I tried to flash earliest Nandroid which was performed when on EH03 deoxed. Once I did this, I wiped all needed data and rebooted. Now Fascinate shows Samsung logo. It doesnt reboot, just that the logo stays until I pull battery. Now if I have battery in wth phone off and plug in, the charging battery comes on but doesn't show battery level. Doesn't go away till I pull battery.

The funny thing is that I can get into Download mode but USB is still unrecognized/malfunction on PC/Vista. I only wish that I was able to link phone and PC just to use Odin with PIT file and stock EDO5 or EH03.

Any advice?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkuehl06:
In the op of ics and also droidstyles guide you have to flash build 1 before you can flash build 5
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
I've never flashed version 1 before flashing.build 5. In fact I've had the least amount of problems going back to stock (ED05) then flashing ICS.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xwhofarted:
I bootlooped when i went from stock EH03 to Build 5 so i did 3 first then 5.

But this doesn't help our poster here.

OP:

you get into DL mode but odin wont see your phone?

What i suggest is to try: Move the usb cable to a different port. see if your pc can see it then. Second thing try a totally different computer. Chances are your PC is trying to use borked up drivers.

Once you get odin going flash a stock image [i recommend eh03] then cwm then build 3 and now the new build 6. good luck!

if you need any links or a more detailed guide I STRONGLY suggest Droidstyles guild, it is by far the best and most up to date for the fassy!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidstyle:
Consider yourself lucky....going from stock to build 6 causes me problems and many others. Going from stock, to build 1, then build 6 works flawless.

If Android version goes from 2.3.4 to 4.0 but kernel stays the same is it truly ics

Sent from CM7 DX2 xda app
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
If it utilizes both cores properly I'm sold.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Therein lies the potential problem. I believe all the multitasking logic is part of the kernel.

Therefore, until we can replace the kernel (either via an official update from Motorola or an unlocked bootloader), we're stuck with the 2.3.4 kernel, which probably means, no improvement in the multitasking.

What really has be upset now is, Motorola is releasing a new RAZR called the Developer Edition which was the bootloader unlocked.

We didn't want to have to purchase a new frickin' phone! Unlock the bootloaders for the phones we already own, you putzes!
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
My friend looked like he wanted to cry when I told him about the new Razr. He got the original Razr not too long ago.

F Motorola.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
This crap that Motorola is pulling has sealed their fate with me: I will no longer get ANY Motorola devices.

I mean, I have to purchase another phone in order to have it unlocked? And then, it HAS to be the RAZR? No removable battery? No way.

I mean, HOW many versions of the RAZR are they going to release? Ridiculous!
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Yup. If the d4 ships unlocked im in. If not moto can kiss my pasty white ass.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
And verizon too. You KNOW theyre the ones pressuring moto to keep them locked down.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
This whole thread is a reference to the fake, isn't it?

DX2- CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Partly, but Dragonzkiller has gotten ICS (CM9) to boot up on the X2, but it's very pre-alpha. Probably FCs a lot. But, he is working on it. Eventually, we should see CM9 for the X2, but it won't be a full-blown ICS. Until the kernel is unlocked (if that ever happens), we won't be able to replace it with the ICS kernel which will better utilize the two-cores for multitasking.
[Motorola Droid X2] tshelby73:
This thread was not started about the fake but to find out exactly what the kernel has to do with ics. I noticed even dk's has the gb kernel. Was just trying to find out if we were really going to get ics cm9 from dk or just gingerbread with ics on top. Either way i still support dk with his efforts just trying to get educated, i will still use cm9 even if it's not entirely pure.

Sent from CM7 DX2 xda app
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
It's as pure as he can get it. Until we have a way to replace the kernel, we won't be able to get a completely "pure" ICS unless Motorola releases ICS for X2. In that case, we'll have a pure ICS kernel and then all DK has to do is what he did with CM7 - recompile the rest and get it working for CM9. But, I don't know if we'll ever see ICS for the X2. Motorola hasn't said yes or no, but if we do get it, it probably won't be until late this year. If we don't see it by the end of the year, my guess is, we'll never see it.

Motorola has dropped the X2 like a bad habit, which is a shame. Way to screw your customers Moto. That's why I won't be back.

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
The one thing I like about Motorola phones is the ability to SBF if anything goes wrong. Do other manufacturers offer this kind of feature? If not, that would probably be the thing that keeps me with Motorola. But I agree. I hate that they aren't unlocking the bootloader for us.
[Motorola Droid X2] T3HBR1AN:
You just flash the system partition image and kernel. Which is basically what the sbf does. You still get to keep your recovery too because its in the recovery partition and the system flash doesn't write it.

[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Yeah it is truly ics. The kernel has nothing to do with ics. A new kernel would make is run smoother and easier. Think of your kernel as you cars motor. The body a rom. Kernel makes the car move. So in essence it might be a different motor but its still that mustang body

[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
I'm with him on that. This phone was a mash up of stuff put on the shelf without any thought. I mean it was on froyo when it came out and didn't even utilize both cores. And since they haven't given any updates that fix anything, I'm thinking that they just stopped support for it.

The only way moto can redeem themselves, is to put out a nice 4.3-5 inch quad core fully unlocked phone geared towards development. They have lost tons of customers after the boot loader crap, and I don't see them being able to stay upright when HTC has some really nice phones. HTC must be laughing at moto right now.
[Motorola Droid X2] SuRG0:
Exactly. I think an ICS shell over a brittle gingerbread interior is the best we can hope for and dragon's cm9 port is that.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
Yeah. Everyone thought "that's one bad ass dual core phone!" But after we learned froyo can't do dual core, boot loader is locked, blur is wrapped in everything, moto stopped supporting...we realized it was just a slap two things together and make it sound awesome phone. They didn't care about the customers in the first place, they were just after the money haha

Still is a bad ass phone though, I make the iPhone people run and hide in a corner :p

[Motorola Droid X2] Peperm1nt:
I don't think the kernel has anything to do with the features of ICS. Features are app specific, not kernel. The kernel will stay GB, but an average user won't know the difference. The kernel would make things smoother for a stock ICS build, but we aren't getting that from DK. He is making cm9, which will be more customized to help "get away" from the Kernel. The X runs cm7 on a froyo kernel. And if (not sure if it is yet, or will get it) the X were to port that over, they would still be on a froyo kernel.

As a user, don't worry about the kernel issues. You will see fluid performance when cm9 comes ;)

[Motorola Droid X2] weldawadyathink:
I don't get it. They put root restrictions on phones and we break those down. Why can't we do the same with the bootloader
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Because the bootloader is a signed app that requires a key to unlock. You don't happen to have that, do you?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Unlike simple apps the bootloader has incredible security with it. Like the damn NSA designed it

I know I'm kind of dreaming here but you know how Titanium can freeze apps? Could a developer somehow "freeze" the bootloader and install a new one?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
No. Its not that simple. The kernel is inside/incorporated. We don't even have a complete kernel to model a new one after there are hardware drivers inside there. Without them the phone doesn't work. Face it there will never be any other kernel unless moto updates the phone and face it....that's never gonna happen. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news its just the way it is. This phone is obsolete in motos eyes. Has been for months. Always will be. :(

Motcher, you shouldn't kill people's dreams; it's just not nice.

Also, we still have Nitro bringing us amazing ROMS. plus, I'm going to try and port over a ROM to our phone, soon, probably not too soon as I have 3 tests in the upcoming week or so... gah, it's what I get for wanting to get my LPN/RN.
