Thank you for proving my point. Its inconsistent. Different for everyone. What's so great about that? It drains my battery whenever its on, it uses my rates faster..... it weighs out differently for everyone, and.from what I've seen in most places, the majority of people would rather have ICS or are just indifferent.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icase81:
I definitely agree with that. I'd rather my phone be stable on HSPA+ than crappy on LTE. Oh well, I gave Pantech a shot. Galaxy S3 on its way and will be here on Tuesday.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjroser:
So according to AT&T the 3G and 4G LTE data is a known issue to them. This is known as TrendID 38792. Pantech is attempting to create a Kernel for ICS that will correct this issue. But, they are having no success....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genericwizard:
Yep. I have an HTC on the way. I.broke my Burst screen anyways so ill just keep up with the ROM development. I really love how it looks.

I was really excited when mine wouldnt charge the other day. I thought i needed a new phone but it fixed it self somehow :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jznomoney:
I have had it not charge too. I just rebooted it and then it charged.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjnbrn:
Hopefully that will be fixed if they release ICS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes, I would have to agree. I get "consistently" 15mb down and 6mb up with LTE... and 6mb down and 1.5mb up with 4G... but I would much rather have ICS. Generally speaking, I mostly use apps and data dependent processes at home with WIFI. The only time I really like it is when I'm in my car listening to Pandora...ultra smooth all the time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinhvtai:
I have a problem with my Burst. When I installed lots of apps, the touch button (especially back button) usually stuck and not responded but the touch screen responded normally, only issue with touch button. I tried to factory reset it and it worked normally again. But if I have installed apps, I met this problem again. I think the specs of burst is awesome but why? Have anyone known a solution?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikhilD:
HALP!

Dude can you give me an unlock code too?

I got a new burst and it can't be locked using conventional methods.

IMEI:

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
In case you didn't read this thread yet, of course there is a known solution for every issue on the burst. ICS! Didn't you know that? There are no bugs in the magic ICS. Just ask the Android experts on this thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
You really shouldn't give out your imei. If you have to just private msg it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icase81:
I think the crux of the matter is that people are having issues with the phone, and they're not going to get fixed without an update. We can only hope that the ICS update is actually well vetted and not a buggy piece of trash like the original GB update for the G2x. Only took them 3 updates to the same version to finally get one right.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davepmer:
ICS is not the magic fix, JB is. Or rather Cyanogen11.

Think what most of us really want is some custom roms.

Me I want to be able to compile or port my own version of a rom to the Burst. To me this has become a quest
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjthebomb:
See, I'd rather just have ICS because 1) I only get 200mb data/month and 2) LTE doesn't exist within 200 miles of me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikhilD:
Please delete my imei from your quote. I'll pm you the imei.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Thank you for all of your hard work. I wish I knew more to be more helpful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm2racer:
For anyone looking to unlock their Burst, just call AT&T Customer Service at 800-331-0500. When it asks for your tel #, simply hit "0#" a couple of times and you will be connected to a CSR. Now here's the hard part, ask them nicely to help unlock your phone. While I've heard that it's difficult to pry the unlock code for iphones from them, it's pretty easy with Android devices. It helps to have a little song and dance about why you need it unlocked.

unlocking burst

hi,

i live in india and i have recently ordered a burst which is about to reach my hands..... what is the best way to unlock it...... thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinhvtai:
I have adjusted the brightness of burst to minimum but it's still very bright when I turned off the light on my room (prepare to sleep, make use of time to read books :D). So any apps to lower the brightness (less than default min brightness)?

And more question, how can I change the battery circle mod for Burst instead of the default? Tks.

Redundant, I know, but I have a question. Does Pantech Burst support loop? I've tried running Ubuntu, Backtrack, Debian, OpenSUSE, all with no luck. I open Terminal Emulator, type "su" to give super user permission, then I mount the image then when I mount the sh script I get an error. I know it is mounted right and so are the commands (I work with Linux daily). Can anyone shed some light on this?

How to make a super saving battery life for it? I uses only 2G, lowest brightness, no live wallpaper, no background running apps, also install juice defence and cpu master to manage cpu lock. Anything else?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmxii:
Always leave background data off, under clock cpu (although in my experience that doesn't help much), delete bloatware that auto starts on boot, keep WiFi off if not in use, backlight timeout 15 seconds, wipe battery stats with CWM

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

I have a pretty good setup for battery life and performance. For anyone interested, I set my CPU (using SetCPU) to 1026 mhz min to 1512 mhz max, governor on demand, scheduler cfq. Along with my other suggested battery saving tips, I get about 7 hours of heavy use. Also, for anyone wondering, with those settings I got 4009 on quadrant so it helps performance too.

I guess we would not see ICS update today, as there is still no kernel source published...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlasFamous:
So did you troll Pantech on their FB page today? :laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrakattack:
I haven't trolled their Facebook but it's funny seeing everyone that is lol I would think that if I was an "engineer" that I would work to solve whatever issues there are regardless of whether the offices are closed on weekends. which surprises me for a tech company like this. wonder if google closes for the weekend lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aed0101:
Nope, but they do look pretty ridiculous by promising ICS on 27th and failing to deliver. Sure, lots of people were trolling on their FB page about ICS, but it is pretty normal for the vast majority of phone companies. I guess most people that troll do not really know improvements ICS brings. Actually GB is fast and stable. There are some bugs, but nothing critical.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinhvtai:
I'm afaird that if Pantech continually treat customers like now, more and more people will abandon Burst. I bought this just 3 days and I really don't want when it has ICS, don't have many people use it :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aed0101:
Let us just be honest. I guess you, just like me, bought your Burst off eBay and not with 2 years of commitment with ATT. Right now new Burst is sold for $120 on eBay. Can you find any other phone with Burst's specs (GB/ICS) for that price?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm2racer:
Anybody notice thaat their Burst's touchscreen is not as responsive as other phones? And I'm not talking about the 4 capacitive buttons which seem to be a known problem. My new eBay Burst isn't nearly at picking up my touches and swipes as either my 2+ year old Samsung Fascinate or my GS3. In fact it's touch sensitivity is closer to some of the low end Android devices (e.g. LG Thrive, etc) that I've played with in stores. Any way to recalibrate the touchscreen?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrakattack:
I jumped ship from sprint, slow data (although unlimited) poor customer service, and jumped on a family plan with the misses. she never liked my Optimus s, but when she picked up this beast for $0.99 I was kinda like "oh pantech android, crappy phone" but then I looked at the specs and I had to get it lol sure I could have shelled out $350 for a nexus but I don't have that kind of money just sitting around lol I just wish that pantech would come clean, once a firmware passes ptcrb certification its ready for release period, and it's been a month since then. I would love the update, mostly because I want to put a fully working build of cm9/cm10/aosp/aokp on this beast and watch it fly
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicks619:
Guyes does this phone support 3g video calling, as there is no option to do it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmhalder:
It does with options such as Tango or Skype, no US carrier uses the actual 3G talk standards. So it doesn't do it natively.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Please note that video calls on Burst using Skype even with LTE are choppy and difficult to use. And before you think otherwise, my wife's HTC One X is just as bad if not worse, and it has the great and mighty ICS! The problem is not the phones, or skype, or what camera etc. It's not even bandwidth of the LTE connection. It's traffic congestion in the backhaul network.

Feel free to ignore my response and wait for an ICS fanboi to show up and talk about the specs of the phone and how AT&T knows about a bug and it's a conspiracy to make sure you can't use video calling because Pantech hates their customers or some other nonsense. Or just try it for yourself. Then you can blame LTE and AT&T and Google for ever releasing Gingerbread in the first place, or Pantech because they missed the autumnal equinox with their latent release.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kagedws6:
oo new reasons to flame their facebook page! jk lol no so much an ICS fanboi but more so a CM one :P I'm in it for the tweeks lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourpointsix:
So, you think it's OK that pantech (and other developers) are releasing phones with an obsolete OS? Or that its taking them 8+ months to update to software that Google developed for them? Lets forget the fact that Pantech has missed their own deadline at least twice now. My first two points irk me enough on their own.

None of the links for restoring to stock are working. Please send link for pdl and tool to install.

Pantech is sending me a new phone and I need to factory reset it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinhvtai:
any base about what you say?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
What, exactly, is obsolete about the OS?

Will it not make a phone call? Can it not get data from the internet? Will it not play your mp3s? Can you not check your email on the phone? Is there some feature that was printed on the "specs" placard in the AT&T store that is now not usable due to this "obsolete" OS? What? You mean it can do ALL of the things it was advertised to do, and many more things you didn't even bother to check, but the version number of the OS is not what you hoped so you call this "obsolete"?

Obsolete is when Apple forces iPhone users to "upgrade" to IOS4 on phones that lack the hardware to be usable in order for them to keep on using their apps and other things, and then with the "new" OS, the phone is so slow an incoming call will go to voicemail before the phone can load the ring tone and play it. That's making your hardware obsolete. And frankly, that may be precisely what happens when you get your coveted ICS on your Burst. GB on a Burst is reliable, fast, stable, and loaded with features. It's fully compatible with pretty much every app that's not limited by hardware on your phone. There is nothing, not one single thing, lacking on a Pantech Burst with Android 2.3.7.

Are you sure you meant to say "obsolete OS"? I'm not sure you really know what you are talking about.

Really? Did Google develop drivers for the Burst hardware? Did they develop the necessary kernel extensions for the radios in the Burst? Or the display? Do you really, honestly, and truly believe that Pantech somehow is single-handedly preventing you, their adoring user base, from installing this free, manna from heaven, ICS on your phone?

Google released the source for ICS. Go build it yourself and install it. What's stopping you? If it's so easy, go do it. I mean, you just said, Google developed the software already.

What you are conveniently forgetting is that you bought the phone the way it was, and then months later you get ticked off because it's not magically upgraded on your schedule.

My advice: next time, buy a phone with whatever OS you have decided is not "obsolete" and stop complaining. But you should never, ever buy a tech product based on promised (or perceived promised) future upgrades.

Do you get upset when you buy a new car then a year later they come out with an updated version with more power and better seats or whatever then Toyota doesn't upgrade the engine and interior of your old car? No? Why is a phone any different?

Man I am sick of all of this ridiculous, ignorant whining! I hope you guys all get so fed up with your Burst that you flip it on ebay. Please, please go get another phone. I can assure you no devs are going to get excited about making custom ROMs or new builds when the audience is a bunch of impatient whiners who insist on getting something for nothing and then throwing the devs under the bus when there is any slip in their imaginary schedule.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aed0101:
Please read more info on ICS before posting. ICS have better memory and cpu management and HW accelerated 2d. It should actually feel smother and give better battery life.

Again, read more before posting. HW manufacturers (eg. Qualcomm) release drivers. Kexts are on Mac, Linux have modules.

If a car manufacturer promises an update to car's ECU (eg. boost engine HP) to be released on some particular date and later fails to deliver, a customer have all reasons to be angry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Oh, this is rich! It's the "you're the noob" response!

OK guys, I'm out of here. PM me if someone has a question that I can help with, or in other words, if you have a question that requires an answer other than "Pantech sucks! ICS will fix everything!". It appears the experts with many weeks of Android forum reading experience are here to make sure you are fully informed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourpointsix:
No, I bought the phone recently because ICS was promised from Pantech. By your line of thinking, you're still enjoying your windows XP and your Mac OS9. You can view this post on IE6 on your XP machine, right? So, why bother with Win 7 or 8?

And I say obsolete because ICS was already available at the time this phone hit the market, and JB wasn't too far off. I'd like access to Chrome, and the ICS on my HP touchpad is far beyond the GB on here. This is my first foray into an Android phone, and honestly this tardiness is one of the large reasons I haven't adopted earlier. There is no excuse for an update to take this long, PERIOD. Apple just pushed out iOS6 to 3 generations of phones on the exact day they promised, while some Android phones NEVER received an update. Until people like YOU stop considering this accecptable behaviour, it won't change.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougmany:
I'm in the same boat. I also would not have bought the phone if I though I would be stuck with GB. I just switched from a Veer. I bought the veer after using a GB tablet for a bit and deciding I wouldn't go with Android. I was happy with that decision and made the switch because I wanted a hardware upgrade. For some reason, I believed based on promises that Android had made improvements with the upgrade process.

It is my fault for beveling things have changed but doesn't mean I shouldn't complain about it.

Ok, Since I have a free afternoon, I went ahead and called in and asked yet again, any new information? The Customer Service Rep, said... There isn't really any new information. Except what we have here on facebook from Friday, he what he has in his email from Friday also, and nothing specific, not even why it's even been held up.

He actually criticized Pantech and went on to say it's a big ridiculous that they wont even tell their on Reps about any new information to tell their customers, because it makes their reps look dumb when it's their job to help. He said, We know as much as they do, he said he would go ahead and inform his supervisor and see about getting an email sent in to the engineering department but don't get hopes up too high because they normally won't give their own reps information on "special request".

He continued to go on and talk about that even their own customer service reps are kept in the dark just like the customers and it's a sad business practice for them and their customers but their isn't much he can do about it. He basically took the words out of my mouth, but he went on to say that Normally once they get an email with any sort of update or information, they normally, within 2 hours of their reps receiving information, it will be on facebook and twitter. He said hopefully he feels it will be coming very soon, but will not promise anything.

So at least he was honest and told me pretty much what I would rather hear than some lies to get me off the phone...Which is " I just don't know" I can handle the truth of the unknown more than lies and misguiding information.

those will return you to bone stock. its not the pdl as I never bothered to download and add it to my dropbox cuz I never used it. just make sure to do a factory reset from CWM and also go into advanced and clear the dalvik before installing that zip. also wipe the onboard memory once you bootup to get rid of any programs that require root and the stuff they left behind. and then after you boot up back to stock replace the recovery with the original one. it was enough for when the june stock update to pass off as original
