your in seattle too man arnt you getting the 10+ mbps speeds?
[Networking] AllGamer:
not sure if you know or don't know, but even LTE is not considered 4G

true 4G is still far away from any service

all the service providers are advertising 4G but they are all fake, as non of them really meets the 4G specifications
[Networking] diamantericos:
First of all know your facts . Now the person who said late isn't really 4g is right. But on another note in certain areas T-Mobile is just as fast as Verizon and sprint . I get speeds of 15 - 20 mbps. Its all about area that you are in.
[Networking] darkside79:
Yea I know. Its sad!
[Networking] diamantericos:
Second of all want is this in this thread . I have to agree with everyone who complains of people posting new took just because they can just clutter . Search before you post .
[Networking] sarni84:
True 4g is atleast 100mbps and guess what nobody hits that. Its all bull but yes lte is def faster then hspa+. Only the uneducated think that these bs services are real 4g and sadly not to many people know really just how fast 4g is supposed to be if they did these companys would have a problem
[Networking] schgittyfour:
im from phoenix and i get "4G" almost anywhere in the valley, not so much when indoors , but it is kinda fast ...
[Networking] novanosis85:
Ill takes my fake 4G battery life ove LTE!

[Networking] algorhythm:
lol.... really?
[Networking] phillipxenxciel:
The whole "4g" is just a marketing gimmick, but i don't really care as long as im getting 11500kbps download most of the time, sometime i even get 15000kbps.
[Networking] Killbynature:
It was a big deal before about this basically any company with new technology is consider 4g now. Hspa+ can be 4g if it reached 100 mbs. The network must reach over 100mbs not any phone. Lte isn't consider 4g either but lte-A is considered 4g.
[Networking] minotauri:
i dont want to be mean or anything but this is really really old news and probably has been posted a million and a half times. no carrier in the world has true LTE Advanced which is set to be "real" 4G. All the current "4G" monikers are just stopgaps until they can implement LTE Advanced or a 4G compliant WiMAX.

I wouldnt quit just because tmo is advertising 4G when it really does not, because you'll be stuck looking for a 4G compliant carrier with nothing to switch to.
[Networking] Teo032:
Tmobile is just as fast as sprint and verizon? You know our data is faster right? We only lose to att LTE but they're limited and expensive so ef that
[Networking] gallaxxeess:
OK, So you spew outrage that T-Mo calls their service 4G and says it makes you want to leave t-mo, yet you agree with another post when he says all thw carriers do it??? Where did you plan on moving your service too? I'd like to know what real 4G carrier you are going to use.
[Networking] PJcastaldo:
What are you six? :confused:

While there has been some debate over what is "4G" there have been recent event that lead to hspa+ and LTE and the WiMax as being accepted as 4G. I am not going to search for the artical.. if you dont believe me then search your self..

Either way does it matter? I get between 14 and 20 mbs dl speeds and 2 - 3 upload speeds.. and thats a great deal faster than my basic bright-house connection...

Edit: Heres the link.. lol http://www.phonearena.com/news/ITU-says-LTE-WiMax-and-HSPA--are-now-officially-4G_id15435
[Networking] diamantericos:
Are you defending T-Mobile or knocking it . Because I'm defending it . I'm just going by speeds I've reached I had Verizon and sprint before T-Mobile and tested in the same areas .
[Networking] Melon_Bread:
Old news is old
[Networking] AznDud333:
the definition for true 4g is the ability to provide 100mbp service

hspa+, lte, wimax..

none of these service actually give you 100mbps..there are many occasions that hspa+ is faster than lte, even tho lte has a higher theoretical speed

now why can't you could hspa+ out of 4g? because in theory, it could reach 168+mbps, which is way beyond 4g specs..just wait for it :P
[Networking] :
Im going to agree to disagree. Is this the right place for this post...? probably, it is the general section and the topic is pretty general. Now is this old news, and been posted already...probably.

Now my question since you feel like you would want to leave tmobile just for this is....

Are you an american and do you live in the US?...are you going to denounce your citizenship and leave the US because we faked the moon landing? pretty much the same thing both were done to further the "doers" cause
[Networking] thebobp:
4G's become another one of those terms that mean nothing.

The 4G marketing is just BS. It was totally useless on the standards committee's part to backtrack and allow providers to falsely label their service. I don't even pay attention anymore when someone announces they have "4G". Only a speed comparison is very useful here.
[Networking] BranniMikal:
T-Mobile lies to people...plan and simple...

What I love most is that I pay for 4G speeds and only get Edge network... their internet is so slow; I call it dial up for smartphones... I can't even send a picture to someone without it taking 35 minutes to actually go through... and yet they advertise that they have 4G coverage and blah blah blah.... They don't even really have 3G to be quite honest... I have yet to have seen that...

You can argue it's dependent upon the area you are in; and that holds some truth since I got 4G speeds in Richmond, VA when I was visiting... but it's sad that a military town isn't even on 3G yet... unless you fork out $25-$50 more to get just that through another provider...which is usually overpriced crap...

Yet, U.S. Cellular here get's 4G.... so I may have to look into them for a change...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
I've been playing around with the voice recognition feature - writing texts, searching for people in my contacts, Google searches. I've found that it often randomly capitalizes letters. Sometimes its the same letter throughout, like every "T" or every "D". Anyone else see this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maltrin:
I have the same issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowlidx50:
Mine was doing the same with the letter "N".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Valyence:
Mine did this on the international version... To make it stop get a new keyboard from the market or take off auto-caps in the settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] alnova1:
Mines doing it too...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
I'll try the auto-cap fix, I like the Samsung keyboard for now although I'm looking for one that includes cursor movement front/back arrows so maybe that will fix 2 problems with one app.

Edit: just tried that and it does fix the problem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] fchn139:
I bought a INC2 from a guy last week. It is unlocked so It works perfectly with my ATT sim and I managed to get 2G running. Then I checked the GPS, Camera and so on, everything looks until I wen back to home. Because there is no Wifi network in my work place so I didn't find the wifi seems not working. The phone cannot found any wireless network at all. I am sure I made the ssid is broadcasting. I was thought it probably not happy with my wireless router so I closed all security setting. But the phone still cannot find the open network. So I drove to our library where have public wireless access, still nothing. On my way back, I use my other phone as a hotspot, nothing happened even I put two phone together.

Here is a list of things I did in next couple days, went to a office building which hosted a lot of company. Almost all of these company have some sort of wireless network, my other phone in my right hand can found at least 10 networks while the INC2 which in my left hand can find none. I flashed the ROM to CM7, nothing. update radio, nothing.

Flashed to skyrider, nothing. update radio, nothing...

The guy who sold me the phone said the wifi is working perfectly when he is using it with verizon. He updated to iPhone month before so he didn't notice if the phone stop work with wifi after his update. He seems to me a honest guy.....

any idea?

TIA
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Xery:
Well you can just add the networks manually.
[HTC Incredible S] turtle*:
I've only owned 2 andoirds, mytouch3g and nexus1. Neither had SENSE and i always ran CM w/e version they had.

Now i get a INCS and well CM7 is pretty dated stuff. CM9 isn't 100% where i wanted it to be. A lot of roms had SENSE tied into it and i tried it out. Things are diffrent but i could say good or bad. Oddly enough, they all had better battery life then CM7 and the quatrro ICS rom. Well during my unoffical testing anyways.

Obviously i'm not used SENSE so naturally i dont like it because its just different. Just wanted to know everyone's personal reason for using or not using SENSE.
[HTC Incredible S] justaway2:
I see no benefits to Sense. Some people say the widgets are really nice but I hardly use any widgets, so it doesn't really apply to me. When I used to use Sense ROMs, I had customized everything anyway (no Rosie launcher, no Sense lockscreen, all 3rd party apps, etc).
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I can see what you mean when you say sense roms seem to have better battery life than cm7. You wouldn't think it but I've found it to be true.
[HTC Incredible S] turtle*:
coming from CM7 on the n1, i always needed a charger before the end of my work day. If i dont touch the phone at all i go home with about 50%.

So when i first got my INCS I played with sense rom, one each day. Starting with inferno, bliss and then android revolution. I was simply amazed i was going home with 71% battery and HEAVY usage. I read reviews on the phone getting good battery life, so i thought that. I ran CM7 and poop, had to go home with 20% without a charger. I then went into the ICS world, first off was yesterday being virtous quattro. Decent rom but i went home with 46% and light usage. Mainly because youtube doesn't work well.

So i'm kinda in limbo until we get a real ICS version out. Because all ICS roms are not 100% working, CM7 is poor in battery life and lacking items. I'm most likely going to shuffle around the SENSE roms to find something i like.
[HTC Incredible S] AymaR13:
That seems very strange. Sense ROMs have never been so good on my IncS. I found that CM7 was very good. I am running MIUI now, and the battery life is amazing on it. With some heavy usage (3G, voice calls, bluetooth transfers and some light gaming), I had 65% left at the end of the day. I tried Virtuous Quattro (RC3 and 4), but it wasn't good though the ROM is pretty decent like you said. With a Sense ROM, I always found the battery to be at 30-40% at the end of the day with just voice calls and some wifi.. 3G drained the battery like a sinkhole.

Only thing I miss from sense was the contact sync with facebook working sooo nicely. Not much more tbh.

[HTC Incredible S] Soothsayer.:
Yeah when I was running ARHD with the No-Sense script the battery seemed to be the best out of all the ROMs I've tried, better than CM7.1.

Personally, I use Sense ROMs because the video recording just isn't worth using without it, and the reverse tethering feature is handy for me (being stuck on a crappy plan for the time being). If HTC ever release the camera drivers I'd probably stop using Sense and wouldn't look back.
[HTC Incredible S] turtle*:
i'm just not a huge fan of the dialer and whole contact views.
[HTC Incredible S] skinniezinho:
Well I had LG P500 (using LG Launcher or Launcher Pro), Nexus S (MIUI) and now the Incredible S (using sense 3.5).

I hat the asop look of Gb android, and I must install lot's of stuff to get things done quick.that changed with MIUI, good looks, lot's of integration out of the box (toggles for everything), but sense is another world, almost every common app seems integrated, they have widgets with a common look,it's fine.

I have a fast phone (maybe not as fast as MIUI or CM,but fast enough), with all of the things that I need/like almost out of the box,and better with good battery life and stability!
[HTC Incredible S] AymaR13:
Well, after trying a few non-sense ( sounds kinda funny :D ) ROMs, I am using a sense based one now, and I don't like it one bit. The only reason I am back on this is for the camera. The pics were too grainy for my liking. But this ROM is slow, and since I don't use many widgets, sense offers me very little. And battery life was best on MIUI and CM7.

Almost every other ROM I have used is faster than this.
[HTC Incredible S] Cookie Ninja:
I've got to agree with soothsayer. ARHD has very good battery life, and if you've UVed your Rom for stable and dependable performance it sometimes beats CM7, esp if you have some rogue app like Google maps etc, which refuses to be killed and keeps running in the background, eating your battery.

IMO, its not just the bloat in Sense UI, but the other bloat / crapware apps that you have, that ruin your battery. Google apps are the main culprits (maps, gtalk, search, contact sync, calendar sync, g+, FB, Twitter, stocks, auto sync settings & always on data connection) that drain battery. I rip out all these apps / apks and use droidwall to selectively allow only known & trusted apps to connect on data. Sometimes, my ARHD outperforms CM7, esp if I've flashed gapps on CM7.

[HTC Incredible S] Psyloid:
I gave sense a fair chance coming from a cm7 device, I used niks rom and arhd and affinity, affinity was the best of em.

But since i am running ICS (icecold sandwich) i would consider it a nightmare to go back to sense.

Sense uses too much memory, runs too much odd services, has a lousy dialer, loads of crap apps one does not use and the most horrible launcher ever (rosie)

Plusses of sense are a great camera app, good lockscreen and a nice clock widget, but thats about it.

I think i can live with the little shortcomings of CM9 for now, (tip: if u use youtube in hq mode it works flawless)
[HTC Incredible S] highKo:
i'm a sense lover. i tried "senseless" roms many times and always went back quickly.

reasons for going back to sense were:

- i need many different apps to have a powerful homescreen

- visual things (i love the optic)

- dialer, contacts are best imho

- better camera with powerful tools

- little phone things like: vibration when a person accept the call, louder ringtone if the phone is in a bag, ringtone volume decrease if u already grab the phone

- timer, alarms are included

- lockscreen is beauti- and powerful

- best weather app

- htc music is wonderful

for me its a wonderful "all inclusive" package and i hate to install tons of apps to have good functions. sense is a big reason why i bought a htc phone
[HTC Incredible S] VeixES:
For me, SENSE has the best Mail for Exchange support.

Also the contacts were nicely merged from many different accounts :)

Do miss that on ICS
[HTC Incredible S] Maxesz:
I prefer Sense over AOSP/AOKP roms because of the FriendStream, People and Clock+Weather widgets (also the People app merging with SN links) and the device is just designed to use it with Sense i think. :) I tried a few other roms but neither seems to be good for me.

like which rom did you flash, errors detail, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasemyass:
get into recovery if you can and do a wipe data - factory reset, maybe could that help you, if doesn`t, pull up battery, get it into download mode again (volum down & home button & power button) then try reflash another rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vatralaus:
ah sry.. ok i managed to turn it on after an hour and half.....

i used simplisity plus this new rom,,and with broodromconf tried install new theme. and after resetart phone enterd bootloop,so i tryed reflash it wih odin KQ1 stock rom. but after stock rom was installed there wehere a lot of application error like "sorry! google.android.sms stoped working or google.upload stoped working" and coud not press any key or anything so i remove battery and after that, phone did not want to turn on,,,,ok i now i can turn it but i am getting this errors so what to do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sweetez:
You should do exactly as chasemyass said. that should fix your problem.

maybe some content of broodrom configurator doesn't fit with Simplistic Plus. Just be more careful.

btw, clear dalvik cache first if you going to flash new rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vatralaus:
requires dedoex and zipal...think simplistic plus have that...put that a side. i turn it on . flash feamod recovery and did factory reset and looks like it works now.. thx guys...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broodplank1337:
I can never fully guarantee that broodROM Configurator is compatible with all ROMS. Since it's actually made for broodROM it includes a method of installing the files as it would work on broodROM. Cranium & Stock ROM works tho.

and just format all partitions then reflash with odin and you will be fine :)

Rule #1 on using the configurator: ALWAYS MAKE A CWM BACKUP! :)

I do as well, but hell, if I am out 35 bucks I'll just do a chargeback or some such, or just eat the cost. It shows I should expect delivery between the 15th and 28th of March, so we shall see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aerials:
My gut feeling says it's counterfeit...but the fact the seller is charging such a low price for it makes it easier to 'take the hit' if it is in fact counterfeit.

It's mainly the fact that it's coming from China...and how they're notorious for selling fake memory cards and other merchandise. On top of that, that particular eBay seller doesn't have much total feedback, compared to other China eBayers who typically have many thousands.

Even though the shipment time interval seems to be between 3-5 weeks, who knows...you might end up receiving it much earlier (like in half that estimated time frame).

Keep us posted when you receive the goods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Punchatron:
I thought SD maxes out at 32gb. Anything larger will be SDXC. Does the note even support SDXC?

I also remember reading that counterfeiters will sell fake flash memory that reports itself as the correct size but is programmed to overwrite itself once it goes over the actual physical amount of space on the card. For example you bought a 64gb card and it's really only 16b once you load up over 16bg it will start overwriting itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coretech:
He's also got a 32 GB card for $14 :) :D

I like how on Sense 3.5 my Outlook Calender reminders pop up full screen on the lock screen, however, when I drag the 'snooze' button to the lock ring, i never get another reminder again (snooze doesn't work).

Under settings on my Calender, it looks like it's set to default to a 10 minute reminder.

Anyone else having this issue? And any idea how can I get this working correctly?

(I'm wondering if it works with Google calenders (which I do not use) and not with Outlook or something...)
[HTC Rezound] jmk32:
Is this Calender lockscreen snooze button working for you? If so, what version of Outlook do you use? Mine is '03.
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
I just came from the Evo3D and the same problem there. I have installed Caladar Snooze

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bitfire.development.calendarsnooze

Which is free, and this is something that I now cant live without. Works flawlessly. When a caladar event comes due I hear a reapeating reminder and when I open my phone I get a full screen with options to snooze for minutes to days and its quick to select and no worries cause it works and will remind you, not like the stock snooze.

I liked it so much I bought the Key

The UI is something less to be desired but very reliable so far and have had it for 5 months
[HTC Rezound] TheAlmightyBob:
How does Calendar Snooze play with the built-in calendar alerts? Do you have to dismiss two notifications? (i.e., does the lock screen alert still appear?)
[HTC Rezound] jdfrye:
good question. When an alert comes up you dont see the stock snooze lock screen. you see the calandar snooze in the notification bar and after you unlock the full size menu screen pops up and you have to make your choice, 5 min, 1 hour, until, for, dismiss
[HTC Rezound] TheAlmightyBob:
Just to further answer my own question: Calendar Snooze has a setting to appear on top of the lockscreen and wake the phone when it alerts. Still have to dismiss the lockscreen if you want to access the rest of the phone.
