I just saw on sprint website there is no 4g service even in Lousiana?! But why tout the FIRST EVER 4G phone the evo & then never even have 4 G for it?!!?
[EVO 4G General] evoer:
Right on dude. Also here in nc we have 4g all over

Almost...I'm in Wake Forest NC (just outside of Raleigh and I don't get 4g coverage at all ;) but I get it everywhere else I go lol
[EVO 4G General] stevovanburen:
Hey,

like a previous post states the $10 charge is for premium data, and it applies to smart phones that do not have 4g as well as those that do. That being said Wimax technology is what your 4g is based on and sprint is going to be switching to a 4g LTE network, and sadly ditching wimax. Lte is just going to be better for the future, so sadly if you do not have 4g not you most likely will not be getting it.

Amen brother!

[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
In the beginning it was indeed a 4G charge that was only applied on 4G phones, with the Evo being the only 4G phone at the time.

At that same time they introduced the SERO-P plans so that anyone on Sero could not get an android device. SERO-P was $10 more than SERO. If you had a SERO-P plan you had to pay another $10 to have a 4G device on your SERO-P plan. At that time they were openly telling customers it was a 4G fee. Well, it was quickly discovered that 4G wasn't and wouldn't be everywhere, and as a result Evo SERO-P customers started complaining that they were being forced to pay for a service they weren't getting (4G in their area) simply because they wanted a better (and more expensive phone). As a result of this, Sprint quickly changed it from a "4G fee" to a "premium data fee", yet for SERO customers, it was only applied to 4G devices. Then a year later it was determined that all new android devices would also have to pay for premium data, which is where we are now.

When I got my Evo I was in this boat -- I had to pay an extra $10 for a service I wasn't getting. So, I complained to Sprint and they told me in writing in two separate instances that "there would be 4G everywhere by the end of 2010." well, here we are in 2012, and still no 4G in my area. If they hadn't lied to me, I wouldn't have bought the device I did.

I did figure out a way to not pay the 4G fee, so I only pay $40 a month for my plan. It takes a bit of creativity, but saving $120 a year for a service I'll never get makes it worthwhile for me.
[EVO 4G General] Pivo187:
Thank you D.O.C & indagroove I respect both of you & your responses. All I was looking for was stevovanburen & indagrooves responses.

I dont agree with the premium data statement I think Indagrooves hit the nail on the head & it went the way he said. I had both a blackberry & HTC hero b4 my EVO 4g. On both you can get fast 3g service but no 4g however, I was not charged a 10 dollar fee for those but once I got the EVO 4g I started getting charged an extra 10...obviously to upkeep 4g. BTW when is 4g LTE network going to start up & what phones are going to support it? Will it be extra or just the 10$ ?
[EVO 4G General] AngelofChaos:
Sprint and Clearwire are already in the process of converting the WiMAX towers to LTE. The process is also not as time consuming, and I'm sure if you don't have 4G service in your area, you will soon. Or you can write Sprint an e-mail asking for them to consider your area. They will have about 15 LTE equipped phones and other devices coming out Q2-Q3 2012. So far pricing has not been announced, but I do not think prices would increase much.
[EVO 4G General] souleman:
Umm... Sprint was SUPPOSED to have LTE partnerships with a few companies to make the rollout as quickly as possible. But since LightSquared got shot down by the FCC..

And we see how fast clearwire was able to rollout wimax.

It's going to be a few years before Sprint has coast to coast 4G LTE coverage.

And to the OP, if you don't have 4g now, you will never have it on your EVO. They are not building any more WiMAX towers, and the Evo will not support LTE. None of the current Sprint phones will support LTE.

To make an EXTREMELY long story short, sprints connection is bipolar and ****ty. Im in the middle of a city and have no 4G. 2/4 of NYC has no 4G. Yet the middle of no where has 4G.. Sprint=very bad at radio tower set up.

and what he said.. Firstly i pay like $160 a month for only 4 phones.. technically its 60 or 70 a month for unlimited texting and data and like 1200 minutes, and to add another line is 10 more $.. how the f am i paying 160??? ima call sprint
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
PM me if you really wanna know.
[EVO 4G General] mattchew86:
I mean, it does suck that a lot of areas still don't have 4G. I know my town still doesn't. But I do know that I am getting equal, if not better speed and coverage, with better CS than I did on Verizon.

And my plan is still cheaper with the $10 fee.

It sucks, but I come out on top :cool:

Hopefully they figured out the situation from their past with WiMax, and will start to improve it this year.

To me, this has been a year of learning for Sprint. No 4G in a lot of cities, so dedicating the resources needed to start fresh and try to give their customers another chance. Debuting the GNex in a timely manner, unlike it's U.S. debut. Not backing down about their unlimited data, when almost every other carrier seems to be doing just that, because they know that's what people are asking for, and that's their trump card. For now at least.

I would say that the launch of one of the most talked about Android devices launching on their network with their revised 4G should light a fire under their asses. Or you will see customers turning on them.

I can guarantee you that.
[EVO 4G General] souleman:
He is paying $40 a month because he is on an old SERO plan... not sure how he pulled off not paying $50 a month, but it happens sometimes with enough phone calls to customer support and the people that try to keep you with sprint when you start talking about switching companies, but they normally know when your just trying to scam them and don't have any intention of changing, or will let you change cause you said you were going to :)
[EVO 4G General] indagroove:
Yes, I am on an old SERO plan. You can still get the plan, but you have to buy it off someone who already has it, and transfer the plan to your name. I used to call customer service every month and demand the $10 credit (which they gave me for a few months, but I had to argue every time). I got tired of that, and figured out a way to get around the $10 4G fee without having to bother Sprint at all. I'm sure that sprint wouldn't be happy to know what I'm doing, but in my opinion I'm simply not paying for a service which they are also not providing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
I know what the differcnes are. But I went to Knoxville and i averaged between 9mb down to around 13mbps down. And I was running on umts. Back home I only achive around 4 to 5mb down o hspa.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
If you're truely on umts, tippy will be top pout at 300 to 400 kbps. The status page is often wrong.

For 3g/4g speed on at&t, it really is location based.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hyelton:
well status said umts. And speed test did too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
The status page is known to be wrong.

How so? You said 9mbps which is not possible under UMTS.

Remember AT&T HSPA network is very congested. If you travel to a location that does not have a higher population, you will get great speed. And vice versa. Here in DC area, my average HSPA+ speed is only 1 mbps and can be as low as 100kbps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
you so make me not want to switch to at$t(mvno).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Definitely depends on your area. It is very congested at work, and I'll always get 2-3 mbps on LTE, at home on 3G ("4G" on the Note) I'll get between 2 and 9 mbps, where there is no congestion. At another location where there is LTE I recently measured 19.

I had been running CM9 exclusively for a couple of months. I had been using the nightlies. I decided to try out AOKP Milestone 4 recently, and I liked it, but now I'm wanting to go back to CM9. Now here's the question. When I flashed AOKP, there was still a "CyanogenMod" option in moboot. If I flash CM9, will the AOKP option still be in there? If so, would all I have to do to get rid of it safely is delete the aokp uimage from /boot? It would annoy me to have an option I can't use in moboot lol

I am Z.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohan32:
Just flash the CM9 file

Then load up CM9 via its entry in moboot, and delete the AOKP uImage from /boot.

It should be perfectly fine.

I would have posted this in that one help thread for pyroice, but it's about a month since anyone used it...

I just have a quick question. Since i believe 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 when i press the back button to wake it up, it now goes straight to the pattern unlock.

This used to happen with the menu button wake, and back would go to the slide to camera or pattern. Basically, now i don't have that basic lockscreen at all, whichever way i wake up the device.

any thoughts?

thanks!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
Its just how it is. Menu/Back is a instant unlock. Using Menu when the phone is locked unlocks it(If screens on). I belive using the Lock Button will unlock to the Ring. But basic lockscreen is lost when using any protection. Just how ICS is.

I'm trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard, which worked perfectly under Gingerbread, but will not pair under ICS. Basically, the keyboard will not go into pairing mode until I give it a pin, and ICS won't give me the pin until the keyboard is pairing. Is there any way to tell ICS what pin to expect before trying to pair? This is the sequence I am doing:

1. Put keyboard in discoverable mode.

2. Select the keyboard in the bluetooth menu.

3. Type in a pin on the keyboard and hit enter.

4. A dialog comes up on the tablet telling me what pin to use to pair. (I have to type in the pin in the keyboard for this to come up)

5. Pairing fails after about 1/4 of a second.

Anyone I have the same thing. Get a pop up for a quarter of a second that has a pin but I can't enter it or even read it and then fail.

Bluetooth keyboard in ics

Hi all, I hope I'm in the right area, I have android ics, when I go to pair a Bluetooth keyboard, I put the keyboard into pairing mode and then search on the phone. The phone finds the keyboard and sais please enter the pin code on the keyboard, and press enter, wichita I do and the message on the phone disappears and the keyboard seems to be pairs, but when you look at the keyboard the pairing light is still flashing. The keyboard works great on my partners...dare I say it iPad, but I can not get it to work in ics. I've tried blueinput, blue keyboard jp ,but neither of these program's seem to help. The can see the keyboard but don't seem to connect to them. Any help would be appreciated. To me it seems as tho the keyboard is not receiving an acceptance message from the phone to say connected.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemosomen:
I would venture to say this is a device specific issue. I'd recommend going to the forum for your particular device and replying to a six month old post there that is vaguely related to your issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kryptoniteics:
I have looked through the forums, and havnt found anything that helps. I have tried different programs and possible fixes. To no avail. I have a generic phone with ics so rooting may not b an option. One thing i have noticed is ics automatically generates a bluetooth access key. Is there a way to change this to manually choose or enter a pass key. I think this may be part of my problem. Or possibly fix the issue i have. Any thoughts.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
Thanks vhjc, Im familiar with the thread. I should rephrase my question. They all use the same hboot, but each network has its own unique file signature. This must be verified against something internal on the device. So there is some firmware difference between an AT&T, Telstra, etc devices. Otherwise, I could flash an AT&T RUU on my Bell Raider.

So with that in mind, I'm wondering if the Bell and Rogers models have unique identifiers, or if they are both Canadian Raiders. In all likelihood, they will be unique.

Sent from the Matrix
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vhjc:
Yup, I think they have an unique CID so they will need a different RUU or OTA update.

You can see this on the RUU thread, there are different GB files for Rogers and for Bell, and if you try to run them on the other device you will have a device error.

New HTC Wildfire S digitizer not responding.

So I have been having a similar problem. I am attempting to replace the digitizer on my friend's HTC Wildfire S. The first time I replaced it, it didn't work. So I bought another replacement part made sure I was buying for the right model (tmobile). After installing the new one it still doesn't work. I have been trying everything I possibly can to get it to work. The first thing I tried was creating a gold card but I can't because usb debugging isn't turned on and I can't access it to get the CID. I have also tried rooting it but that also requires usb debugging. Then I tried loading the CalibrationWildfireS files onto the sd card and go through the steps (located here: https://sites.google.com/site/repairlinks/htc/htc-wildfire-s-calibration) and ran into a security issue wich caused it to fail. I have put a lot of hours into research and attempts at trying to fix this but I am stumped. Can somebody please help me. Facts: The phone is tmobile (gsm), bought a new gsm replacement, the touch screen is unresponsive, usb debugging is off and inaccessable. Assumptions: this is a software issue (pretty sure), there is a solution.

Yes I can load it into the fastboot and it shows the HBOOT screen but when I tried to get the CID for the goldcard it just didn't work. I thought it was because usb debugging wasn't turned on but I'm not sure. What is the process you recommend to get the CID?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Back when I had a Panache (CDN version of Mytouch 4G) there were people who had the "bad eMMC" and the "good eMMC".

Well it seems some Galaxy Nexus users are having issues where the phone spontaneously corrupts its /data partition and this can only be fixed by a full erase of userdata. This has even happened to stock non-rooted users. It's happened to me three times in six weeks.

Could this be a hardware problem? And if it's a hardware problem that only some units and not others, have, could there be a way to determine in advance if you have the bad units?

What I do know was that on the Panache, the revealing string came from typing the following in adb shell over recovery:

cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'

My result on my Wind Mobile i9250 is:

However from the queries I've been able to do on Google, it would seem that all Galaxy Nexus units have a serial of VYL00M. This also appears to be the same as the Galaxy Note and Galaxy SII.

Does anyone have a GSM Galaxy Nexus which shows an eMMC serial that is

not

VYL00M? What serial comes up for the CDMA version?

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to detect this hardware problem before it actually happens?
