You still get WiMax wherever it's available. It's not false advertising. You have a choice. Would you rather pay $300 for a Verizon phone that has bloatware, overpriced plans, unstable 4G network that goes down every month, data caps, and crappy battery life? How about an AT&T phone with data caps and crappy service? Maybe a t-mobile phone with throttled data speeds from a carrier that might not exist in 2 years?

You bought a phone that can be used anywhere in the world. You got a WORLDPHONE for the same price as any other top-shelf device Sprint offers even though it has the capability of having superfast data speeds in certain areas. You are paying a relatively low price for unlimited phone data which no other US carrier offers anymore. You can even use this phone as a netbook, nettop, and media center without paying extra plan charges.

Seriously, get a grip.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
I will tell you this and that's that I agree with you 110%. As someone who lives in an area that was promised 4G service by the end of 2010 and still does not have it and never will, I think Sprint sucks balls and has a lot of guts charging "premium data" charges. I pay the same amount as someone in L.A. who has 4G but they get much faster service. Is it fair? No. is there anything that the FCC or anyone else will do about it? Probably not but I do have a suggestion and I am willing to bet would work at some point. Someone needs to find a lawyer that is willing to take on a Class Action case and then the print customers who dont truly receive any "premium data" can join in and get compensated. If anyone wants to do it I'm in for sure.

---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

He's got a valid point especially about the premium data charges we all pay and dont all receive service for. Sprint claims they are because of the phones capabilities but they have phones that do not incur the charges and have some of the same data results on 3G. Premium data should only apply to 4G areas. Bottom line.
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
Makes a point but the $10/month extra is not for WiMax but unlimited data whether it be 3g/4g. At least, that is what Sprint tells us even though the WiMax data is what really costs them the most.

As far as I know there is only one Android phone in Sprint's lineup that doesn't incur the extra charge which is the Samsung Replenish and that was set to change anytime if it hasn't already.

But put all that aside for a moment, even with the extra 10/month it is still a cheaper plan than anyone else. If they weren't already charging the extra 10 I would bet their rates would have been raised already to cover it so the point is basically moot.

Haven't used Rom Tool Box before have always used TB but I'm open to others opinions. Which is better? What makes one better than the other? So on and so forth mostly just trying to find out what others think
[EVO 4G General] tommytomatoe:
Rom toolbox has SOOOOO many options. The pro is worth every penny. Plus, the dev is super responsive.

Edit. Not sure why you compare TB and rom.toolbox. two different apps that serve different purposes. Between the two, id still go with toolbox.

How do the backup apps stand up to each other?
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
For backing up sms/calls/apps/settings, I use MyBackupRoot - it's free and works great, IMO it's easier to use than TB.

For tweaking etc, Rom Toolbox Pro. So many options and it replaces a bunch of other apps.
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
I have had TB Pro for a long time, and don't fully understand probably 60+% of its functions/options (market link, create update zip, etc). Haven't really looked into them. I have found the dev to be super responsive and helpful.

All that said, I recently installed rom toolbox (free), and was blown away at how much it can do (build.prop tweaks , sysctrl, governor and CPU , theming EVEN [not in free version]). Really impressed. AND it does all the functions I use TB for . But I haven't tried any of rom toolbox's backup/restore functions.

That's my .02¢

If you have TB, rom toolbox, and root explorer, there's NOTHING you can't do ;)

Edit: as for ease of use, the UI of rom toolbox is MUCH nicer and friendlier than TB. UI of mybackuproot always makes me nervous, so I haven't ever messed with it much at all.
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I use both; TB to backup and restore apps; toolbox to control my voltage and governors since I'm on an ICS rom.
[EVO 4G General] btaylor545:
I've personally never liked the mybackuproot app have always used TB pro. Might have to try out the backup functions on rom toolbox just didn't want to waste extra $$ on something I already have. TB has nvr steared me wrong for backup I have root explorer's paid version for file explorer but with the rest of these options if the backup stands up to TB might make it worth the switch. Def dig the boot animation, theming, and oc/uv controls

I know ROM Toolbox has quite a few features that Titanium Backup does not. Are there any key features that Titanium Backup has that ROM Toolbox does not? As someone who has neither, and so has no history with either one, if I bought ROM Toolbox, would there be any reason to buy Titanium Backup?

Hi all,

My Samsung Galaxy phone is stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. I shut off the phone and it starts up again to the Samsung logo again. I am rooted but still had the stock rom and kernel.

I went to selections and wiped my cache and tried to format it like a new phone. The same thing still happens. I am not sure what else to do. Anyone know how to fix this?

Keep the instructions simple please, if you do know. (I'm a desperate noob)

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
IF you ever did nandroid than just restore that otherwise.........

Hey first follow this steps to flash any rom. If you flash the rom properly than you can use any stock rom from dev section and use that.

OR

follow this step to go back to stock and it will unroot you.

Same Problem

My problem is that my Rogers SGSII LTE I727R, is stuck on the logo screen, which is flashing the boot screen. When I connect the USB (even after install of Kies and Odin), my PC does not see the device. I am really not sure what to do. I think I set the wrong phone ID when I installed recovery (I think I was supposed to use the T-Mobil SGSII setting), but I selected something else. I then tried to backup the existing ROM, and am now in this unending loop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Follow these steps it will help you go back to stock. ANd reroot your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Barlaw604:
I did try the main process, but the problem seems to be that the my PC/Odin, don't see my phone. The USB drivers are installed, and I have the stock rom, but I can't seem to make the connection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lyndone58:
Try a different USB port. Avoid rear ports and hubs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Barlaw604:
OK, i will try that on a different computer, as I have tried all of the available ports on my laptop. Any other thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Have you uninstalled kies? If not uninstall it from your PC. Put your phone in download mode and see if Odin can see the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Try another USB port or another computer. If you can get the logo you are in a boot loop, the most common form of a soft brick. If you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it.

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Just saw this. Have you tried to re-install the drivers?

Another thought is to try turning off firewall and antivirus when using Odin. I've never had my firewall or antivirus block Odin but I've heard it can happen...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Can you get into download mode? Hold the two volume buttons down, then plug the usb cable into your phone, then you should be in download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Barlaw604:
I cannot get into download mode. I just keep getting the flashing boot screen, with the corresponding vibration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
What he said. Pull the battery and put it back in. Hold volume up/down and plug in USB. Continue holding volume buttons until you see download mode. Careful not to press the power button during this process.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
I like how u guys are really trying to help him. Let u guys know that on my first responce I gave him all the steps on how to go back to stock. So if he followed that and nothing happened than he should try USB jig if that don't work than its hard brick!!

Rocketing on Sky Ics¡
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Don't panic. If you're in a boot loop it's fixable. It's when you get nothing that you need to worry about a hard brick.

Try the button combo mentioned above to get into download mode. If that doesn't work, pull the battery again and try using just the volume down button button--I've heard people say this worked for them when they had a hard time.

If this doesn't get you into download mode, I guarantee you that a jig will work. You can buy one online or make one yourself for about 75 cents and a cut-up data cable (I had a car charger that I didn't need--car charges the phone through USB port, so I cut that one up). Always good to have a jig, at any rate...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Yup, when I rooted my phone, the only way I could get it into download was volume DOWN & power.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Barlaw604:
USB Jig

Thank you for the direction on trying to get into download mode. None of the suggested methods worked, so I will try to get a jig, and go that route. I see a USB jig on Amazon for the i9100, and presume that it will work with my i727R. Thank you for all of your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
It will work. I have one and can confirm that it does. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I use the jig I made for my previous phone, a Captivate (i897), and it works fine.

It's the same basic principle for all Sammy phones (as far as I know...): the 4 and 5 pins on the phone's micro usb port connected with approximately 300k ohms resistance. The developers at Samsung use these.

Anywho, please report back and let us know. Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atrixboy:
I believe 330k to be exact. Search the Fun with resistors thread here on xda. You can use different sized resistors for different modes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Actually, 301k according to the i9100 thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=820275 ), but 300k seems to be close enough for most phones and is good to go by because you just need three 100k resistors.

Thanks for mentioning the thread though, I hadn't looked into this in awhile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] atrixboy:
Indeed it is 301k. I stand corrected. I haven't looked at it in a while and I have a home made bread board with dip switches. Old fashioned and a hair crude but she works like a champ :-)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waysted:
I've had an HTC HD7 for a while now, and i just purchased a HTC Titan. I'm in the process of making sure everything i want is migrated over to the Titan before i get rid of the HD7. While migrating the photos I noticed that the HD7 uses a naming convention of WP_000570.jpg while the Titan uses HTC_000001.

My first question is; Can the automatic naming template be changed? For example, Is there a way to have the titan start out at WP_000571?

My second question is if I have HTC_000001 synced with skydrive, and they i switch phones again Titan2 for example, and I take my first photo with the new device HTC_000001 and try to sync it with skydrive, how is that handled?

if you go up to 1.6 GHZ, you might get SHUTDOWNS...

if you don't run any games, or apps, sure it will work. But not smart to overload it.

If on Custm ROM, Read DEV Notes, usually they'll say (or mention about Kernel changing)

as a rule I keep it on 1.5 Ghz (when 1.6 was max) (have tested on about 8-10 diff roms) (never have had any shutdowns yet)

*** also maybe use a meter app to check TEMPS (like battery TEMP)

Cool Tool - shows battery temp, RAM, Proc Freq, + more in little box on screen all the time (adjust settings)

"setCPU for Root users" - underclock to lowest when off, set lower cpu freq if battery gets warmed to ur custom Degrees)

[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Like humans NO TWO CPU's are equal

All of the above it true with one exception..NOT every cpu is created equal Not all ram chips and so on also live up to this..

Start over clocking your cpu slowly. as you push clocks higher of course lower voltage. This keeps heat down .

Two processors even made on the same casting can be totally different . Where one will take more heat with less errors and corruption and the die next to it will almost crash running its designed clock speeds . Being that extreme is very rare with a few exceptions. most are close as to a common ability. within a few 100 mhz.

So the answer is there is NO TRUE Answer. its trial and error but on the side of caution and testing clock speeds and heat is not a 30 second yes it runs. Do it over a week or so. I know with my dragon cup in cell phone its at its end of life from being over clocked for a few years. some last longer some die quicker.. Its kinda like drinking on your brain the more you drink the more cells you kill.. The hotter your cpu gets the more transistors fail the slower it becomes the more errors you have .

Relax .. go slow.do not expect to get what everyone else is claiming. and you will be fine..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
Backup (Nandroid) is a part of clockworkmod recovery.

usually before you flash anything that changes the system files, you should make a backup (takes less than 5 minutes). just in case something goes wrong with the file you flashed, so you can revert back to how the phone was before the backup.

are you stuck at the splash screen or bootanimation?

So basically something from that theme didn't install correctly and is not allowing your phone to boot.

When making any changes to anything it is always wise to make a nandroid backup. If you made a nandroid you could restore that and you would be fine.

Since you didn't you have 2 options.

Option 1) Flash the current rom you were running with just a dalvik cache wipe and hope that it boots back up. If it does not you will have to do option 2.

Option 2) Wipe both data and cache and then flash a rom. You will lose all of your data but, you will then have a working phone.
