I'll have to give that a shot. Being out where I am, I'm not worried about anyone piggybacking on my airave, so i'll pump the range up as much as I can.

In other news, the GPS light was blinking green for a long time today after getting a lock yesterday. Slapped the external antenna on it and set it right beside the unit. Checked back later, had solid light.

Also, wife made several calls yesterday, no drops, no problems. She's a happy camper, and that's good for me! ;)
[Epic 4G General] handymanjames:
Getting mine shipped soon. Some taxes on the bill but otherwise no charge. Good deal since my reception is terrible at home.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
I don't get the new part of that blog... Things been around for a while. This newest one, over a year. Here I was thinking they had a better newer one until I looked again.
[Epic 4G General] dead78:
yes, I was wondering the same thing. I kind of got excited when I saw this thread and thought they'd released an Airvana that was 4G capable.

I've had the model in that blog posting for about a year and a half. It works fine most of the time but if you haven't got really good internet, don't expect miracles for your data. And yes, if you've got a low upstream cap and have torrents running or anything comparable, voice calls will be crap.

also, I got the Airvana around the time it was first released and it basically didn't work at all. took Sprint the better part of four months after they sent me the thing to update the firmware so it could actually work reliably. for a while, I actually wanted to switch back to the old Airave with its crappy 1X data support simply because it, you know, actually worked.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
Got on sprint.com the other day and bumped the range to max. That made a big difference. Easily covers the whole house now with 3+ bars, and is usually 4-5 bars.
[Epic 4G General] paullueders223:
I have an airvana too and can't get the damn thing to work, this is my 3rd airrave device I've had, none of the others worked. I tried port forwarding and Dmz for it, setting up static ips, nothing gets them to work. And Airrave support is not too helpful, beyond telling me to reset the device and if that doesn't work send it back. If you guys have good suggestions my ears are open.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
What you got it hooked up too :confused:
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
The bad thing about these are they can be picky. Some crappier routers will not work. I never have had issues with ISP routers, or Linksys/Cisco. Also, speed and GPS. It has to have a GPS or it will not work too.
[Epic 4G General] paullueders223:
Oh I agree, my issue is weird since its just the connection to sprint that doesn't work. The GPS, broadband lights come on, its the network one that fails. Blinks for 4 hours then restarts the cycle again. I think I'll upgrade my dad's router (he has the airvana) his is just a isp router, siemens or something if I remember.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
This tells me Firewall. Something isn't forwarding right.
[Epic 4G General] paullueders223:
I thought that too, however I put the device into the dmz on the router so technically the firewall shouldn't be an issue. I probably spent a couple hours working on getting it to forward to it in other ways too, I used a guide on the sprint website (can't remember the exact link, but was pretty easy to find, couple guys made their own guide on how to put the airvana behind a router instead of the normal method/other way around) ... I'm on my phone but when I get home I can post what I did in entirety.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
DMZ should have solved the Firewall issue. How long did you give it? Once it can get though, it could take up to 24 hours to come online.

What ISP is it?
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
so, i've got way too much time on my hands and was looking for a brushed aluminum style back cover to match our cameras online. I could find nothing. i started looking into the process of melting aluminum, which is surprisingly easy, as is creating the brushed effect. as of right now i currently have my back cover pushed into some drywall mud (no modeling clay) and drying so that i can form the second half of my mold. just thought i would inform you guys of my insanity! :D

TL;DR : trying to make an aluminum back cover from scratch.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I wonder how that will work as far as cooling is concerned. Post some pics when you've got it all set.
[LG Nitro HD] SolusCado:
I think antenna reception would be a bigger concern. Still, I would totally plunk down some cash to buy one, if you figure out how to do something easily repeatable...
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Keep us posted, this sounds like a really cool idea!
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
i'll definitely let you guys know how it goes. good to know people care because it will keep me from stopping half-way through. haha. i'll probably do most of it this weekend. the drywall mud was pretty dumb, im probably going to use a greensand mold and see what i can do with that. ill just do the dividing line along the back of the back cover.
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
the bad news: greensand is hard as hell to find at stores or anything

good news: i have scrap aluminum, and i can borrow my girlfriend's dad's propane torch. i went out and bought plaster of paris tonight. Going to set up the mold tomorrow morning and once it is hardened i can start the process of melting+pouring+setting the aluminum in the mold.

turns out walmart sells plaster of paris in a big purple box covered in flowers, which made it somewhat difficult to find considering nobody there knew what it was....
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
bottom half of the mold is set and drying. here's hoping i can get it back out. haha.
[LG Nitro HD] PMad:
Looks like it might be kinda hard making sure the holes for the speaker are cut out properly!
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
i made sure the plaster got far enough into the holes to make an imprint, but not far enough to seal the back to the mold.
[LG Nitro HD] PMad:
thats good! Do you have a dremel or something else to smoothen out edges? Molds typically create a lot of extra garbage on the side that needs to be cut off... Your using aluminum right?

If yours comes out good and doesnt hinder the signal quality too bad, i think i might do the same
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
yeah, i've got plenty of tools and scrap aluminum. depending on how well it turns out/how it affects the phone i may offer to sell them to people on here.

that isnt to say that buying one will be the only way to get one. I will be sure to post a full and detailed tutorial when i am finished for anyone adventurous enough to attempt it.
[LG Nitro HD] stemalo:
No to be a pessimist but did you notice that there is something on the original cover that seems to be taped in the cover? I figure an antenna?

How will you do it?

sent from LG OPTIMUS LTE using Tapatalk
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
I've noticed no difference in signal quality with the back cover removed so I don't think the back cover's antenna helps a whole lot lol.
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
i've been without a back cover while it is setting for about a day now and haven't noticed any adverse effects.
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
bottom mold is done, and looking pretty good besides a few air bubbles that i need to fill.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
You may want to look at the back cover a little more closely. The warning message to not scratch the sheet makes me think the back cover also helps to serve as an antenna possibly??? Not sure, but it seems odd to have the warning.
[LG Nitro HD] red_solo_cup:
About the sticker being an antennae, that never crossed my mind. For some reason I always assumed it was something to distribute heat away from the battery.

Both possibilities seem very plausible though.
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
it crossed my mind. however, like i said earlier, i was using the phone without a back for over a day and a half and didnt notice any adverse side effects (aside from the battery falling out.)
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
I think thats for NFC
[LG Nitro HD] S1XXV:
nfc would be nice. How do we use it if its there?
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Why wouldn't they advertise nfc capabilities if the phone has them?
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
AT&T has NFC disabled on all their phones.

[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:

[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
i may pull the sticker off just for the hell of it...
[LG Nitro HD] Epyoch:
I'm betting it's a heat spreader....
[LG Nitro HD] PMad:
I think you should remake that mold. When you make the whatever it is before putting the battery cover on it to mold it, you need to beat the crap out of the container to bring all the bubbles to the top and get them out, then smoothen it up a bit. Also, best bet if your able is to find a way to turn the mold over on top of the back plate instead, to prevent any bubbles at all from coming up to it, that way it retains the perfect shape with no chance of lumps. Little lumps that you cant really see with your eye on an aluminum cover are enough to make the back plate not fit.

Also i just thought of something! How are you going to give the new material enough flex to be able to allow the little snaps to move in and out of position when putting the cover on and taking it off?
[LG Nitro HD] Cromson:
Haha, heatspreader with 2x metal-contacts to read the battery-heat maybe? :D
[LG Nitro HD] Cromson:
Inside backcover LU6200.

sent from LG-LU6200
[LG Nitro HD] Epyoch:
I already said the lu6200 has it the p930 does not have the metal contacts
[LG Nitro HD] Cromson:
I see, so its really an AT&T problem i guess. But i can hardly see the big metal-plate is also there on your backcover, right?
[LG Nitro HD] Epyoch:
There is something there.....but it makes no contact with anything
[LG Nitro HD] extravillager:
i was thinking i should as well. not sure whether to remake the mold upside down or to try to fill in the bubbles. also, as to the flex, the only part that really needs to flex is the little clips that grab onto the case, which hopefully will as they will be thin.
[LG Nitro HD] PMad:
But the next problem here is your using metal. If its thin, it will flex one way, but thats a permenent flex, you have no way to push it back?
[LG Nitro HD] Epyoch:
So what do those metal contacts touch?

[LG Optimus 2x] nexus2515:
I dnt think that there will be much difference between 1500mAh(LG) and 1550mAh(Anker) and andida can't be really trusted...

I recommend you to buy a spare LG battery and a spare battery charger coz if battery didn't suited your phone, it will show wrong battery% in phone i suppose
[LG Optimus 2x] ongkal:
andida works. i get an extra 6 hours compared to stock. this is just based on my experience though.
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:
From everything I've read with aftermarket, batteries and also in my experience.. it really is 'luck of the draw' whether or not you get a good one.
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Yes, on eBay sellers say they only guarentee 1000mah for the 1500 batteries...
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:

This ones 1350-1800mah lol, http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-3-7V...tery-Android-LG-Optimus-2X-P990-/180809420021

Unable to find the 1000mah one at the moment.
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:
You can buy the LG OEM 1500mah batteries for about £8.50 each (plus shipping), it's not worth taking a risk when OEM batteries that are good quality and capacity are available so cheaply.
[LG Optimus 2x] romeon:
for my previous phones I tried various batteries with higher capacities and none of them were better than the originals. Actually most were worse. This time I'll take the original for sure and won't try others.
[LG Optimus 2x] Sesto_Sento:
you should try the Mugen Power 1700mAh.

I've 2x of those, and from my personal experience (6 months of use) i can say that in average you get 4-8 extra hours of battery from standard LG 1500mAh battery
[LG Optimus 2x] louiscypherbr:
Please, where?
[LG Optimus 2x] NicomUA:
I think the second is more realistic, but it will be replacement of stock battery.
[LG Optimus 2x] Scougar:
Well.. I went to the LG website.. and under support I found the official UK supplier of spare parts. I then bought 2 batteries from that company. I would suggest you go tot he LG website for your country and look for your countries supplier :-) It may be cheaper than you think :-)

I did this because I wanted to guarantee I was getting a genuine battery.

Did you already try it yourself? NEVER I REPEAT NEVER release a ROM, without having tried it yourself... Noone wants a ROM, that probably bricks ones phone...

Ok, it's proved to work, obviously.

Sorry for my criticism then, but I have already seen a lot of guys publishing their stuff, without testing and then bricking a lot of noobs devices... quite uncool ;) Hope you feel what I mean :)

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Ok, I am still about to test it, so I cant say much on this right now, but I already have one thing, pls dont use my nandroid. Better flash a fresh rooted version by Serg... in the dev section, since my nandroid and Redys repack might contain bugs, that I brought in, in order to be able to root the phone. I changed a lot of settings and probably a lot of files through this and I dont know, if this bug wont keep on being in your ROM then and might cause failures. So this is the first thought ;)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Ok, short run, and I gotta confess, it is FAST and very reactive. Good point.

Found a few bugs though.

And I am not a fan of the HTC look, but that's not important, I think some ppl like it a lot.

Here the bugs/things I would change.

Lockscreen: I dont like the LG look, i prefere the one Huexxx found/DxDiag32 ported or even the CM7 one, like this:

Remove the Musicplayer from notification, since it is without function:

Remove Widgets, that dont work:

Add reboot and recovery reboot option here:

Nice Widgets are in there as well:

And they are resizeable:

Pretty cool ;)

So all in all, a cool ROM, but still need some work :)

And like I said, maybe use a clean v20n german ROM to begin with, even though it is really smooth.

A custom kernel plus some more governors would be nice, to make it completely laag free, but you could also at least implement the new kernel without turning off softkeys. Pretty easy, if you work with the kitchen :)

I would take the one with stock LG kernel, but DVFS disabled, cause then we can use apps like SetCPU, without a lagging/freezing phone and set stuff the way, we want it to.

Hope it helps you a bit :)

Tnx nooby im going to work on it but abouth the lockscreen i was thinking if htc lockscreen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mds54:
I'm really getting confused about Google Gmail.....

It came pre-installed on my phone. I set it up to push my Earthlink email addy, which works fine. But I've searched several forum posts for ways ways to unmark spam, choose themes, customize, etc. and none of the responses seem applicable to this Gmail app. It's like they're talking about something entirely different! Also, if I go to the Market to download Gmail, it says that it's not compatible with my device! And what is the difference between the Gmail app that came with my phone and the Gmail website (which doesn't seem to recognize my pushed Earthlink addy)? What am I missing here? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
The GMail included in ICS GAPPS is different than the market (its newer). So the market one won't work.

For non-GMail accounts, you should try and use the Email app instead. Its much better for non-Google accounts. You can configure it for POP or IMAP and go from there.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0mega007:
Hi, i want the best GSM Xperia play for me, i will only use 2G so it could be any of this 3 (R800I, R800A or R800AT), so i got this questions:

1) Wich one is the one to get the new firmwares released the faster?

2) Does the R800I and R800A have bloatware?

3) Is there any system perfomance diffference between any of this 3, maybe specific firmware release (If so wich one is better)?

3) Wich version has the best or less buggy firmware i know they change a bit between models.

Before knowing the answer i think this:

Im leaning towards the R800I because i think is the better one because so far i believe (but dont know if im right):

- isn't carrier dependant and doesn't has bloatware (the R800A is like this too but more expensive).

- Since its international maybe it gets faster and more firmwares update since they are released by sony instead of a phone carrier.

- The R800AT has att screens and logos and the R800I has sony branded logos and stuff instead.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:

[Nook Color General] svennn:
So I'm trying to be a hero to my nephew and install some games that do not show on the market. Smurfs Village is my example. He has a Nook running CM7.2 Mirage.

I installed the games on my phone, did a backup, then pushed the apk to the nook. They install and run fine.

Problem is, when I do a reboot they are gone. It must have something to do with a market check then they get removed as an incompatible app.

My searching has found nothing but I KNOW I saw this issue somewhere.

Any help?

[Nook Color General] votinh:
Interesting!

Can you do install, play a bit then reboot one more time and see if it is really the case?

Plus since Google just changing Market to Play, get into the settings and see if anything weird there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
SO I rented Death Proof from the play store, I hooked up my Prime to my Samsung TV, made sure my input was set to just scan, since 16x9 caused overscan, hit play and all I got was sound and no movie, unplug cable movie plays fine on Prime. So I thought OK maybe it's a streaming problem, so I downloaded it instead of streaming it, same result. Came to work today and hooked my monitor up with a different cable, same result.

My Prime isnt unlocked, just rooted. I am able to play other files and play games just fine over hdmi, but no go for play rentals?

Whats up with that google/Asus?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
Please search the forum, the topic has already been discussed multiple times.

Due to copyrighted reason Google doesn't allow movie rented from the tablets to be transferred to a bigger screen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Thanks for the reply.

You try to play by the rules (purchasing a rental) and they restrict that you can't watch it on the big screen, thats crap and makes people do the download thing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LC39B:
I had the same question. I guess there will be no renting from Google, they really limited themselves, who wants to watch the movie on a 10 inch screen with a 46 inch in the room?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
I was reading in another thread about Google's movies policy and it should be able to go full screen. Somethings messed up in the way the rentals are being handled.

Watching on your HDTV

To watch movies rented on Google Play on your HDTV, you'll need:

an HDTV that supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)—check your tv manufacturer's website to see if your HDTV is HDCP compliant

a Micro-HDMI to HDMI cable or an MHL adapter and HDMI cable, depending on your device

Once you connect your device to your HDTV, the screen of your device should be mirrored on your HDTV (both display the same content), with the audio playing on your HDTV. If the video plays without audio on your HDTV, you may need to change the input in your HDTV's audio settings.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] crodent:
Google should never have agreed to MPAA terms for movie business segment. Root on android is really no different than administrator rights within windows.

Google gave up a lot to get rights for movie rights that few will use more than once. $5 to rent a movie to rent a movie that can only be viewed on a 10 inch (or smaller) screen without ability to output via HDMI? Can't imagine many, even the non tech savvy, to make the mistake of renting from Google Market more than once.

Someday the MPAA will realize that their attempts at preventing piracy only serve to promote it. Until they get a clue, Market will not be a viable source for movie rentals.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
I meet those standards and I have the right cables and so forth. It looks pretty black and white to me that it should work.

I don't think root is causing the issue as people who haven't rooted can't get it to work, like someone else posted some flag is messed up somewhere.

Edit: Doesn't work, tried requesting desktop page, about:debug and setting browser to desktop, no dice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cjm2576:
I believe that it's working at all on rooted Primes is a bug in and of itself. Play movies will not play rental content on my rooted phone with a message saying as much.
