But experience of new rom also not less charming!

And now u have old rom handy, (n of course experience to downgrade) so after some time your finger gets itchy to feel new ROM :-)

But really it's wonderful.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CyberPunkDesign:
Have a quick question.

A friend is interested in rooting his Nook Tablet, and he was worried that if we ended up having to resort to using the 1.4.0 recovery rom at a later date, will he lose the apps/books he has already bought through the B&N stores?

Basically, are his purchases linked to his B&N account? Can he redownload them for free after restoring?

It looks like we might have to revert to 1.4.0 to avert some issues with rooting on 1.4.2.

I'm pretty sure his purchases are linked to his B&N account, but want confirmation before I go wiping the slate clean.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Yes he can redownload everything no problem, same thing apply when you buy apps on Android market. That's the point of buy otherwise wouldn't have sense to even buy/sell this devices if you have to re-buy everything.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
What are your opinions on 12117? I am interested in this one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
So far it hasn't performed like I expected. I believe this is due to our devices not being Network Vision ready. Originally it was reported and displayed that it was tested for the 800 MHz band, but I guess that was a lie. I do not think the 800 MHz band can be disabled by software. This makes sense since we have the regular PRL's like all the other devices.

So far 60683 performs the best on network. If you roam a lot, the 11115 seems to be the way to go, that way you can flip between roaming and home network with Roam Control.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Yes way out here in the country 1115 has worked best for me. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Feel free to test the 12117 though! You never know what you may get in performance. Maybe it really does work and our device can pick up the 800 MHz frequency? Maybe during the time of testing 12117 didn't perform like it should have due to variables.

Like I said, I have multiple tests I still need to run, then I can move on to phase 2.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cds0699:
Wouldn't it make more sense to do the tests at morning/afternoon/night on separate days, then take the average from there? I think that would be a more well rounded test.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scarmon25:
11115 has been the best for me by far. Alot of the places I go I end up roaming. Paired with Roam Control I can switch it over to roaming and get Data when I need it. I don't run it like that all the time but when I do force it so roam I get nice 3G speeds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ejlmd:
I've tested 11115 multiple times with latest version of Roam Control, in Northern New Jersey. I only get 1x Verizon data speeds, no matter what, including the typical long latencies (~900ms).

With 9999 I get robust 3G Verizon data, but doesn't roam back onto Sprint when there is poor Verizon coverage.

Ideal would be something akin to 9999 but with roaming back onto Sprint network when needed.

Okay, when I dial ##8878# I get the options "AP" "CP" or "ALL."

I've found that I have to select ALL in order for QPST to read my phone.

This is how I do it (with the exception of using "ALL" instead of "CP") and it works every time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
The 3rd post in here has those same exact instructions. But he has an Epic so it's different.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
There is no cap on IN-NETWORK roaming. I.E: If you travel away from your home region and use your phone in another city with Sprint coverage, that is in-network roaming.

If you travel away from your home region and use your phone in a city served by Bill Bub's Cell Phone Service, that is off-network roaming, and is subject to the 300MB limit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
So 11115 Roams on 1xrtt, evdo0, and evdoA in the Seattle/Everett area of WA... its funny, it would seem even with the corp PRL we still get lower priority than VZ customers... my neighbor with a Droid gets full bars (havent checked his actual signal strength) and I get 2 forced on evdoA. Either that or the Moto Droid radios are THAT much better than ours. Good news is I got denied for an airrave from every dept I could talk to a year ago because of my awesome credit, and just got one from account services today, and I swear my credit is worse, lol... so MAYBE they are relaxing their policy? either way... hope it works, made sure to get the sammy 2 airrave... read it was the best... we will see...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
Motorola has about 10 times better modems and radio hardware and firmware. This can be seen on the Photon
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
I'm looking at the 11115 PRL, and it looks like when in roaming in the Los Angels and surrounding areas, our phones will look for an Alltel tower to connect to before a Verizon tower (this is probably due to the prior existing roaming agreements that VZW is obligated to honor). I realize they are the same company now, but its quite possible the Alltel towers are more congested or have a lower data throughput than the VZW native towers.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

You have the same issue... 11115 looks to connect to Sprint, then Alltel, then VZW, in that order in the Seattle area.

Both of you should use Netmonitor to determine what network you are actually connecting to when you are roaming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ungovernable1977:
pretty sure alltel doesnt exist here, but ill try netmonitor, real signal has been cool for me, but it doesn't ID the roaming carrier... will report back...

yeah cool app... on VZ right now.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kurupt1:
No 3g speeds when roaming for me at all on either, I am in Los Angeles.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
i tried 01337-mod.prl again right outside of boston, and in a bar where i can never get any sprint data, i was getting fast 3g. the next day however when i tried to tether, i got redirected to this site until i blew out the prl

https://4gmobile.clear.com/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Leejin:
So, I've been using the 11115 PRL, because I think it's generally what everyone's been having the best luck with here. But can anyone give me more locally accurate information? I live in Southern Utah, Verizon and Sprint speeds are better than what I've been getting on my Epic 4G Touch. I'm flashed to Boost mobile.. could that be the problem? I'm using 11115 as I said, but I've heard of people using a Boost Mobile 61007 (iirc) and having great speeds with it.

Can anyone speak to which PRL is best for an Epic 4GT flashed to Boost Mobile in Southern Utah? Haha... (fat chance, I know)

You did mention that 11115 was only getting 3G in SOME states... Is Utah one of them?

This whole PRL and phone modem thing is kinda over my head. I can follow directions, and flash with the nest of 'em.. but Godamn if this is all super confusing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
if it redirected to clear page then you may have had 4g on. and you also have the clearwire-wmx.net realm set when it should be sprintpcs.com
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tensux:
Yes i was trying to tether 4g, with a stock sprint prl, i have no issue doing that.

can you explain this to me please?

"you also have the clearwire-wmx.net realm set when it should be sprintpcs.com"

is that something i can change and still use "01337-mod.prl"?

if i need to give up tethering 4g when i am in a 4g area, then i would have to give up using the verizon prl. it would be too much to change the prl that frequently depending on where i ended up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
You don't have to give up 4G tethering. You just need to go back into autoprime's full WiMax settings and set your realm to sprintpcs.com

Do I have to follow the manual set up or is there an easier way lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
You have to follow the instructions in the third post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
4g has nothing to do with your prl or any sprint/verizon towers. 4g is entirely independent like wifi is. so you can use any single prl you want... that changes nothing in regards to wimax. if youre getting a 4g signup page.. then i believe thats due to someone editing your WiMAX Realm settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zeau2004:
