[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Couple of answers to this question...First I am switching from Sprint to Verizon to get the GN. With the double data deal and a 22% discount off of the $50 data bundle which is usually 5 gigs but will be 10 gigs because of the promotion, I will be paying $39 for it. 10 gigs to me is like having unlimited and I won't need to watch the meter...Usually average between 3-4 gigs a month on Sprint.

Now for people staying with Sprint, I do believe a lot of people will be jumping to that device. The problem though it it will be Sprint's first LTE device and if yoyu do not live in an LTE market, which will you most likely will not because the numbers will not be in your favor, you will be stuck using Sprint's 3G network only and their 3G network is the worst I have ever seen right now.

There are plenty of times I run a 3G speed test and get speeds around 50kbs. That is slower then a dial-up modem! If I were to hit 500kbs that would be on a good day in a good location...These speeds are just not acceptable if you actual use your device.

Another thing to think about is what will Sprint do with their data pricing. Will they go tiered with LTE? No one really knows the answer to this and I don't want to stay with them to find out. I was able to get out of my contract ETF free this month because of their discount change. The only reason at this point to stay with Sprint at this point was because of unlimited data and I was lucky enough to live in a 4G area for their current wimax.

With Verizon at 10 gigs, it really won't feel like I am limited to use my phone so now with that out of the way, why would I stay on a network that won't be rebuilt until the end of 2013. At that time I can make my way back to Sprint if I choose but I will be more then shocked if they are still offering unlimited data by then, even more shocked if they continue to keep it unlimited in the next few months.

Anyway, I get my phone on Tuesday so I will report back of my experience compared to the E4GT. Also to the poster that said to keep the SGS2 because it will get ICS, if you are on Sprint that update will not be coming anytime soon and also you will be stuck on Wimax with it and will not be able to use their LTE network when and if it comes to your town. Also, ICS on the SGS2 is way different then ICS on the GN. ICS on the SGS2 looks exactly the same as GB on the SGS2. There are video's of it you look on youtube. I think a lot of people really want to experience ICS pure and not with TW all over it. ICS does not need any overhaul by the manufacturers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr0wnest:
Ive seen picture and video samples on the GN and they don't look as good as the S2. Especially the 1080p recording which has this really really annoying wobbly effect while panning. Is there no fix for this? The camera is the only thing holding me back from getting a GN. :/

Does anyone know where I can get the source for the Calculators included in Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, and ICS?

I am in a college class and we are creating a curriculum that uses Android to teach programming skill. One of the labs is designing a calculator and i wanted to have those to use as a comparison in case someone decides to be a smart-@$$ and use the prebuilt calculator source to get out of having to program.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtrowell1:
Hi ive written a simple application for windows phone 7 that posts a status update to the users wall. This is all working correctly except for the fact that when the status update is done it is always empty. I am trying to make it so that the user can enter what they would like to say in a text box, but obviously so far this isnt working and all that is being sent is an empty status update. I am connecting to the facebook api and the authentication all works correctly or the post would not be sent at all. Ive searched all over the web and havent found anyone with the same issue as of yet.

Here is the status update code that I am working on:

private void PostStatusUpdate(string status, Action<bool, Exception> callback)
{
var request = HttpWebRequest.Create("https://graph.facebook.com/me/feed");
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.BeginGetRequestStream((reqResult) =>
{
using (var strm = request.EndGetRequestStream(reqResult))
using (var writer = new StreamWriter(strm))
{
writer.Write("access_token=" + _accessToken);
writer.Write("&message=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(status));
}

request.BeginGetResponse((result) =>
{
try
{
var response = request.EndGetResponse(result);
using (var rstrm = response.GetResponseStream())
{
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(FacebookPostResponse));
var postResponse = serializer.ReadObject(rstrm) as FacebookPostResponse;
callback(true, null);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
callback(false, ex);
}
}, null);
}, null);
}

[DataContract]

public class FacebookPostResponse
{
[DataMember(Name = "id")]
public string Id
{
get;
set;
}
}

private void PostUpdate_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
PostStatusUpdate(this.StatusText.Text, (success, ex) =>
{
this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() =>
{

if (success && ex == null)
{
MessageBox.Show("Status updated");
NavigationService.Navigate(new Uri("/Views/MainPage.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}

else
{
MessageBox.Show("Unable to update status");
}
});
});
}

Has anyone encountered this before / know any solution to this problem?

Any insights into this would be much appreciated
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVH3:
You are using the asyncronous method with no callback function

Looks like you should be using a callback function - See examples here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...est.begingetrequeststream(v=vs.90).aspx#Y1760

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...brequest.begingetrequeststream(v=vs.100).aspx

Also, did the same code work at one point?

It could be as simple as not closing your connections. I ran into this in the Weather City Editor that I wrote for Windows Mobile.

When I added code to hit accuweathers site to look up the code, I had forgotten to close the connection. I would need to wait until the connection timed out before it would work again.

I think yours is differnt though, since it is updating blank.

But, you could just use GetRequestStream, which does not need the callback function, synce it is not asyncronous. See example code: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d4cek6cc.aspx
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtrowell1:
Thanks for the reply

Thanks for the reply, the code has never worked so far it has only posted blank facebook statuses, I will see if adding an asynchronous call back makes a difference.

Thanks

Recently clockwork mod is shot for me, It won't do anything to put it simply.

I have searched these forums for 3 weeks trying to find a solution and thus far haven't come up with one. Odin however, works flawlessly. So my question is it possible to take a zip file that you flash via clockwork mod and make it Flashable via Odin instead?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
although I am unsure of being able to package a tar from a zip I have a question for you. how are you flashing your cwm? if its through rom manager it won't stick. you need to odin a kernel packaged with cwm to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Autris:
Running Calk's Rom with his recovery that is pre-packaged, I have manually installed clockwork mod via Odin with no luck. Flashing a zip after just results in it hanging (Loads the boot animation and then turns off, or just doesn't load the boot animation at all.) Restoring a backup fixes it (Which leads me to believe its not flashing the files correctly)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
oh ok gotcha. well I hope you get an answer soon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Autris:
If you have any other ideas as to what it might be please let me know, I've completely exhausted my ideas...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I would use this tar. its gunslinger. http://db.tt/XSVcu2it remember to flash it in pda section of odin let me know if it doesn't work k.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SweetwaterBurns:
All you have to do is take the zImage out of the zip and use 7zip or similar to create a tar file. You should be able to flash that with Odin.

[HTC Amaze 4G] civic95man:
Okay, here is my problem: Every once in a while I will completely lose all signal on my phone. It wont pick up 2G, 4G, nothing. Wifi and bluetooth both seem to work though just fine. I've searched and haven't found anyone with the same issues so I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if nobody has commented on it. I first noticed this about two weeks ago, when my phone refused to find service. I was stuck with the little X next to the signal meter. I figured I was just in an area with poor service and didn't think much of it. An hour later, still, no service. This time I went outside where I know I have good 4G service and nothing for 5 minutes. I enabled airplane mode and disabled it, still nothing. Turned the phone off and back on as a last resort. Still nothing. I ended up finishing the day with wifi calling as that still worked. Sometime later my phone began receiving service again so I thought it was a fluke issue.

Then, just yesterday the same thing happened. This was when I rebooted my phone (which bypasses the fastboot feature) and service was restored right away. I called T-mobile and they said there weren't any network issues in my area and they had never heard of this issue before on the Amaze.

So, this is where I'm asking if anyone has heard of this before. I'm running a stock ROM and it hasn't been rooted. Thanks for any comments!
[HTC Amaze 4G] aaldiar:
This might help just a touch. I do live in an area with decent service but my couch and bedroom are deadzones for some odd reason. I bought these signal boosters for 2 bucks figuring "what the hell, I'll give it a shot". No more dead zones, and data went from E to G. Not a miracle worker but for a couple bucks it keeps a signal at least.

Wireless Coverage

I have 2 brand new Amaze 4G for a few months now and had no problem with the coverage. I know the coverage is good with full signal bars and have not found any issue with coverage.

Sometimes, different phones have different received signal sensitivity. Also depends on user behavior. If you are always using a handsfree device (cable or BT) and your phone is in a bag, then your coverage is reduced by your action. The best coverage you can ever get is when you have line of sight (unobstructed) to the cell towers.

There are a few issues with your problem:

1-Poor inbuilding coverage

2-Poor coverage in your area

3-Network optimization issue

4-Hardware issue

If you are going from 1 bar to no bar, then most likely you have coverage issue. You lost signal since the level is already very low.

If you are going from full bar to no bar, you might have hardware or network optimization issue. Try your phone is the city or area with known good coverage first. If the behavior persists, then you have phone problem.

I used to manage wireless network for carriers.
[HTC Amaze 4G] makyla82:
same issue

I've had the exact same thing happen to me. Red x, no signal except wifi, in places where signal is not normally an issue. Battery pull doesn't work, return to signal seems arbitrary. Had the same thing happen with my Desire. I have no answers, but you are not alone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
Yup, it happened with my first Amaze. I got it back in January and started playing with it - rooting, custom ROMs, etc. Then later that day, the signal just died on me. I thought I must've screwed something up, so I flashed back to everything stock. No luck. I waited for half a day, then it randomly started working again at night.

You probably noticed tha tI said that happened with my first amaze. That's because after that signal issue, I discovered that my camera stopped working. I returned it to T-Mobile and they sent me another one. This one is working great though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] civic95man:
Well thank you for all the input so far. Id like to say that this isn't my first cell phone and I'm not new to weak or poor signal areas, especially from T-mobile. I was using my phone at work at the time, which has anywhere from no signal to 3 bars depending on where you are. This wasn't one of the cases that I was standing in a dead zone when I checked my phone. I had no signal for several hours, including over 30 minutes of standing outside trying everything I could think of. I have had excellent signal outside in the past, exactly where I was "Hiding". I got the Amaze because I was tired of playing with my old HD2 and having to work around bugs and possibly not receiving calls. So far, I'm not happy that the radio seems to quit responding all together and leaves me without a phone (minus the wifi calling but I'm not always around a hotspot).

I also experienced a dramatic signal loss at home, going from full signal strength to maybe one bar right around the time that I first had issues. I don't know if this is related or if this is a completely different thing.

I am 99% sure this is an error with the phone - probably software related with the radio driver(s) or radio firmware. I guess I will try taking it back to T-mobile and seeing if they could exchange it for a new one. I was just really wanting to avoid that as I finally got my phone setup how I like it. Again, Thank you for the input and let me know if you are having the same problem or if you know of a solution.
[HTC Amaze 4G] flyera343:
I am on my third Amaze and also tried a Galaxy SII X due to the same problem at my home. Even the Samsung did the same thing. In my house and especially in the driveway, the signal varies wildly between -85dbm to as low as -111dbm. The frustrating thing is once it loses the signal, it doesn't seem to reacquire it without a reboot.

I'm with Telus, and they said they will check on it, but I'm not holding my breath. In my immediate area, outside my house, the signal isn't great, but it will usually hang on. I have been to different cities, and all has been well with it. Coming from a rock steady 2G Touch Pro II, I am disappointed as well..
[HTC Amaze 4G] BillyD325:
I am new here to this site, but I am having a similar problem with my Amaze. At work I always have a weak 4G signal, but the last few days it has been gone altogether. I have full phone service (4 bars) but no data. The 4G indicates I have signal, but I can't connect to anything on the web. I called HTC and they had me pull my battery and sim card so they could send a "reset signal" to my phone. After my phone came back up I had faster service than ever, but it only lasted a few minutes and went away again. I am thinking this is a phone issue. Oh, the Amaze is my first Android. My only previous smartphone was my Nokia E71x.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Jessfox:
I know if I have WiFi calling selected, an x will show up on my signal if i turn WiFi on. I've personally only had slow data in the area I work. I blame it on the fact that it is a busy corporate park with lots of hotels, cuz my signal is fine elsewhere. Try calling tmobile and seeing if they have known tower issues in your area. I know I had that problem with sprint and they sent me a free airave. Maybe tmobile could do something similar if its.a known problem.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
It's most likely a network issue. I get the same thing, it will timeout/refresh the network where it will not get a signal for about 30 seconds a few times per day. I blame the network, since the same thing happened to me with my mt4g
[HTC Amaze 4G] eirb:
Thank you! This fixed it for me. It was happening only today while I had WiFi enabled, it would turn the mobile radio off completely and the box would be grayed out so I was unable to turn it back on. I had my sim updated today to enable wifi calling so after I read your post, I turned the wifi calling off and the mobile radio signal came back immediately. Strange bug.
[HTC Amaze 4G] djdanska:
I was told It's by design. It saved battery life by not constantly searching for a mobile network it won't use (due to wifi calling). It's not like you can hand off the call to the local network. I do notice that if i start walking outside, once my wifi hits a low signal it logs back on the network.
[HTC Amaze 4G] civic95man:
There is actually an option to specify how the WIFI calling works: either all the time or only when cellular signal is gone. Sounds like you have it set to be on all the time. This means that if you have a good WIFI connection, the cellular radio is shut off and all traffic goes through the WIFI calling app. The other option (which I use) only uses wifi calling when there is no cellular signal.

I have lost cellular signal 3 additional times since my last post. Its not just that I'm in a bad spot and I have no signal for 30 seconds. This goes on for 30 minutes or more - up to several hours. I have found that rebooting the phone fixes it as I believe it completely (as much as possible) removes power from the radio and requires it to be completely re-initiated during the reboot. Simply shutting it off doesn't work as the quickboot is enabled and most likely doesn't perform a complete re-initialization of the radio. My only guess at this point is that there is some kind of possible leftover code from development which never was removed from the radio (this happens more times than not). It could be a timeout or simply causing the radio to hang because of 1. excessive heat generation, 2. excessive power drain, 3. buffer overflow, 4. excessive RF transmit power... In any case, one of those issues could trigger an event in the radio to cause it to simply stop responding.

I am in the process of trying to get T-Mobile to get me a new phone as I am outside of the 30-day window. I have also confirmed it with them that this was not a tower issue.

Thanks

htc amaze 4g signal issue

Hmmmm who is dear? Lol.... Ne ways, well first off, I commend you for digging this thread up rather than just starting a new thread without even looking first :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: I can't say I've ever seen someone who hasn't even been a member for 1 full day do that. Shoot, I see senior members start new threads or pointless threads without searching first, so good job :D haha.

Ok, back on topic now, if it's only dropping when you go in your room, then I don't think it's anything wrong with the phone. Not sure who your provider is, but u may be able to call them and have them look up your address and tell you what kind of signal u should get outside your house, and what to expect inside your house. I know t-mobile does at least

Has anyone found a solid solution for this? I was able to pick up a amaze for 50 bucks off of craigslist. But I can't get it to connect to mobile net work. A T-Mobile employee told me to root it, but I'm trying not to cause it's not for me.
[HTC Amaze 4G] aj_2423:
Well your situation is a little different than other peoples in this thread if u can't connect al all. Ok wait so first off, it won't connect to a network at all? AND you only paid 50 bucks for it...? Sounds a little fishy to me bud, why did he say he was selling it...?

Next thing, I don't know why a t-mo rep would tell you to root the phone, rooting has no effect on your signal strength or your ability to connect to a network.

And lastly, is the phone a T-Mobile branded amaze owhat carrierr...? and will it not connect at all, period, or can u make calls just not data...?
