[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
What are you guys average lte speed at home?

I live in Houston and lte is great outside but in my house. I keep getting about 4 mbps as average. Lowest was 0.8. Highest was 10.

It might seem weird but 3g seems to be more faster by average...

Is this typical for inside homes? I live in a regular two story house... signals were not affected when I had at&t.

Could it be that Verizon just doesn't have good signal in my house?(despite saying that, my brothers iPhone 4s has good 3g signal)

Or is it my device that's messed up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kancerstick:
I would consider yourself lucky. The best i can get at my house is zero to one bar of 3g. I probably can only download @ 15 kbps at most. Most of the time...i just sigh at my phone when im home. Verizon doesnt seem to like my house.

Whats funny is....i drive 1 mile out near a freeway... and instantly 4g kicks in and i can constantly get 30 megabits per sec down and up. Ive seen it shoot as high as 50 mbps a few times
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Same for me. So I guess it's just a Verizon thing. And my nexus is fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrBojangels:
5-8mbps on 1 bar of 4g.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chefdave12118:
14,000 - 20,000 kbps. When I was with Sprint I'd be lucky to hit 400kbps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mindstar1:
Does 4G not penetrate walls as well as 3G? I go from 1 bar to almost full if I go outside my apartment building. I cannot speak to my speeds, but the connection strength is definitely stronger outside. Now that I think about it though, at school (in an area without 4G), my 3G disappears when I go inside a specific building. Maybe their walls are made of lead...

I got an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 2 this week. I am having a problem. I don't know if my unit is plauged by a Hardware or Software issue. The battery seems to go bad really quick. I tried a new battery. When I look in the battery stats it says the phone awake but the screen would never turn on. I don't know if it was the software or hardware. On both batteries.

[Motorola Droid X2] dismantelope:
I recently tried installing cyanogen 7. I followed the steps of the tutorial from the development forum very closely, including the bootstrapping tutorial / sbf tutorial. Everything seemed to work well at first. Booted up into cyanogen, installed patched bootstrap recovery, etc. Then I rebooted my phone, and now it won't get past the cyanogen booting screen. I'm not sure what I should do now. I am unfamiliar with how to recover or reflash an sbf. Googling has not helped me at all.

I am a bit of an amateur with roms, but I have been rooted for a while and figured I was safe seeing as though I made backups of everything. Any idea what I can do from here? I am unsure how to actually recover any of the backups I made, much less make it past this boot animation.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Pull your battery and then put it in. Do not turn on the phone but plug into wall charger. If bsr is installed it will take you straight go that then you can wipe data or restore. If you get the battery icon then bsr is not installed then you can try android recovery

---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

If you do not know how to get into android recovery turn phone off and hold volume down and power button until you see fastboot. Then use volume button down until you see android recovery. Then hit volume up. Once you see the triangle and android the hit both volume buttons at the same time. Then you will be in recovery and can try wiping data and cache.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] theGeeko61@gmail.com:
Regarding SDHC classes, I've referenced the article at wikipedia about SDHC... and I understand that Class x indicates that the card supports "a sustained write speed of x MB/s" ...

So, my question is a two-parter...

1) Are there OS processes which would benefit from a Class 10 (vs. a Class 4, for example) in such a way that I would notice the "enhancement?"

2) Which applications would respond in a way that I would notice the enhancement? (I suspect that video-recording might be such an application...)

I would appreciate intelligent responses.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] putsometrebleinit:
I have done some research on this as I am soon going to be upgrading my sd card and everything I have found suggests that for overall performance of the phone there wont be any difference between a class 4 and a class 10 other than the speed that you transfer files between your PC and your phone. Most tests I've seen usually shows double the transfer rate. And from what I understand the compression ratio is good enough on our phone's camera that it probably wont fill up the buffer with a class 4 card.

[HTC Sensation] felixoanta:
I had dust under my screen. Here's a easy solution.

Items needed: heat gun

razor blade

guitar pick/credit card

silicone/ or any other rubbery glue

3m tape

1. Heat outer edges of screen with heat gun, for about a minute.

2. Use razor blade, or something very thin to fit between digitizer and plastic frame of the phone. ( I suggest starting on the right hand side of the screen towards the top, as the connector is on the top left side for the digitizer, and there's a strip at the bottom for the buttons)

3. Once it has started separating, use the guitar pick, or credit card and work your way around the screen, going down the right hand side, bottom( careful of the little white strip for the buttons) and back up the left hand side.

4. When you've done that, you will be able to flip back the digitizer, DON'T TRY TO YANK IT OFF THE PHONE, it's still connected inside, JUST FLIP IT BACKWARDS.

5. Clean off all the crappy double sided tape from the factory.

6. Apply 4 SMALL squares of 3M double tape to the corners, cut them small enough, and place them on the corners, so they don't show up when you put the digitizer back on. You'll see how there's a certain amount of room to work with.

7. Apply with a toothpick, or something similiar, silicone, or your rubbery glue, to the raised edge of the frame, you know the one you just cleaned the factory tape from. ( LESS IS BETTER, if you use too much, when you press the digitizer back on, it will spread between the screen and digitizer, so you will have to remove it again, clean and start over.)

8.Then once you applied your glue, apply your digitizer back on, carefully pushing around the edges, not extra hard, just so it sits nice and flush like it did from the factory.

9. Wipe any excess glue that comes out around the edges.

Enjoy your dust free Sensation.

PS you can search youtube for sensation digitizer replacement, and use the part towards the end, for picture/video reference. YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE YOUR PHONE APART for this because you don't need to disconnect the digitizer, like I said just flip it back.;)

ALMOST FORGOT, GET THE THINNEST POSSIBLE 3M TAPE, OR DOUBLE SIDED TAPE, SO THE SCREEN WILL SIT FLUSH WITH THE FRAME AFTER INSTALLING.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q_KihDB4Og&feature=related - SKIP TO 4:30 for digitizer removal. IF NOT I'M ALLOWED TO POST LINKS TO YOUTUBE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I WILL REMOVE IT.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I wouldn't even consider this if your phone is still under warranty. This is a known problem and HTC readily admitted it for me. I got a new phone for free and it IS dust free for months now.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] felixoanta:
True, if I was under warranty I probably would've sent it in too but I got my phone from the US so I probably would've had to send it back there for replacement...but for those of us that don't have warranty and are rooted, flashed, and supercid, and don't want lose all that its a decent alternative in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
That sounds a bit scary :eek: heat gun on my screen? No no no...
[HTC Sensation] cyanogendroid:
just wanted to ask because i may end up doing this, what specific glue did you use and how were your results?
[HTC Sensation] felixoanta:
I'm in Romania at the moment, and they don't have stuff here that they have in the US. So I just used the thinnest double sided tape I could find here, generic brand, and universal black silicone.

Being in the US, I can tell you that the best tape would be 3M double sided FILM tape( it's very thin, business card like and will allow your digitizer to sit flush with the frame like stock) since you can get it there. And for the sealing part of it, either silicone(black) or a glue that will NOT harden completely when dry, that way if you need to ever remove the digitizer again you are able to do so.

As for my results, you can't tell anything was ever done to the phone!

[HTC Sensation] felixoanta:
I bought mine used, so I'm not even sure if it was still under warranty. And I'm in Romania right now and I got it from the US, so I don't know how that would've worked. I'm rooted, flashed, supercid, and all that good stuff, and the back cover is polished. I'm sure HTC would've had something to say about that. And then to sit without a phone for who knows how many weeks and the replacement to get dust too.. at least now I know it'll never have dust again.
[HTC Sensation] donwhann:
lol, extreme to the limits !!!. i'll pass on the op "advice" and just call HTC if dust gets under my screen.......
[HTC Sensation] exxeHR:
well, too extreme for me...heat gun? Since my Sensation has 2-year warranty and HTC admits there is a problem, i will not take the risk (and void warranty)...but i guess somenone could use this fix...i guess...

Pull your battery, plug your phone into a wall charger and boot into bsr. Wipe cache, dalvik, and data (you will lose apps, data, and personal settings).
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Pull your battery, put it back in then press down Volume and power at the same time. When it says fastboot scroll down to android recovery and press up volume. When you get triangle press up and down simultaneously. Now wipe data and cache.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
Try post #2 first. Pull battery put it back in do not turn on phone and plug in wallcharger and plug it in. That should take you straight to bsr and wipe dalvik in both places.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsvoboda1107:
Start with jrummys "rom toolbox" you can easily change fonts, icons like battery, WiFi and stuff. Then to customize it a bit more head over to rootzwiki and get some boot animations designed for the nexus. I'd start there nice and easy so you don't screw anything up.

Thanks for your help. I seem to have a good direction to follow now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
You can't modify your ROM's looks without using a deodexed version of the ROM.

Look around the dev forums and browse for what you'd like to be using.

There are also exceptional themes for specific ROMs.

Best tip is just to browse the forums and look :)

Note that these apps were intended for use with specific built in hardware for the ThinkPad. I originally ported these to the Flyer because it utilizes the same pen technology. I can't guarantee that they will work as well but I've been told that there is a stylus you can buy for your device (I don't own a Transformer) that works much better than just using your finger. So give me some feedback and let me know what you guys think!

This is an app ported over from the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet. It's used for note taking and has handwriting recognition and palm rejection. I find it pretty useful for taking notes for my classes. I made it into a flashable zip instead of requiring the use of ADB.

Thanks to:

vlara for the install with no build.prop edits

This app is another one I pulled from the Lenovo Thinkpad. It's called FlexT9 Keyboard. It acts a normal keyboard along with something similar to swype. There's another option that allows you to write in the space provided and it translates your writing to text. This can be used anywhere that you can use the keyboard. Personally, I have a hard time getting it to recognize the words I write but maybe you guys will have better luck :D

A quick pointer: go to the help section in the settings to really learn how to use it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SomethinAmazinn:
I don't like the flex 9 keyboard at all.

Also, when i rebooted from flashing the zip, I was greeted by a force close notification every 5 secconds of my original Keyboard (The revolver one not the stock keyboard)

I do like the note app, i just feel like I have to learn to use it.

Now I can't remove the Flex keyboard. (i tried uninstall but only gave me option to uninstall updates)

Going to try titanium to see if i can uninstall that way. If not.. looks like a full wipe and reflash of revolver's rom for me.

update:

Was able to unsinstall through titanium, although it required a reboot due to infinite force close loop.

Still not able to use the revolver stock keyboard. Have to resort to using the stock ASUS one.

To anyone who would like to flash this.. I recommend removing the flex9 APK from the .zip first.

see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1458176

I just did a factory reset BUT there is still the BULLET that Show up during the BOOT from Juggernaut V4.1.

I am pretty sure that I can get Tmobile to replaced the phone under warranty (already starting to jump through their hoop and dealing with techs not smarter than my 8 year old).

Everyone here knows that it is not a ROM issue but something that is screwed up on a deep hardware level.

If I send the phone back (after they send me a replacement). What are the chances that they will charge my account full price for for the replacement phone if they check it out and find that it has remnants of a custom rom on it?

OPTION 2.

I just got a text today and they have open enrollment on the Super duper protection plan. I called immediately and added the protection plan to my phone. Heck it is only $7.99 per month. Anyone know what the copay would be for complete replacement say I "accidentally" drove off with the phone on my car roof :rolleyes:

I guess I am debating sending back a phone with remnants of a root ($5 for shipping and processing) taking my chances I don't get a charge back vs sucking it up and just going through the warranty program.

Any input is appreciated.

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarkB709:
Hmm, you're talking about this plan right?

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/addons...umHandsetProtection&tp=Svc_Sub_EqpmntProtnOvw

Read the fine print. That insurance still goes through Asurion. You may have to pay up to a $250 deductible to get a replacement REFURBISHED device.

Also, they'll check and make sure you had the insurance added within 14 days of owning the handset. All claims will be denied if this isn't the case, and you'll just waste the $8 per month.

Edit - I haven't worked with tmobile for a couple years now...but I'm reading the terms and conditions a bit now and it seems totally the same as it was.

The chances that they'll charge you full price for the phone under a false warranty are EXTREMELY HIGH. I saw it on a load of peoples bills and they freaked every time. Trust me!! Don't try to get a free warranty exchange unless the phone looks exactly like it should. The tech support people inspect the phones like mad when they get them back at the warehouses.
