Ics kennels with cwm have been bricking phones ....some just by wiping data ...they corrupt your data partition making it impossible to write to ..jtag doesn't even work on it...so we have been Odin back to stock GB and go from there

Now that it has been stickied the OP went through and updated the first post to cover most of I believe you are trying to find out. Hope this helps!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garfnodie:
That's what I've been seeing, which is why I want to make sure I do it right. I don't even know what jtag is, had to look it up. Some kind of debugging tool from I found.

I'll definitely give it good read. Thanks.

EDIT: Additional info regarding Sprint's progress on Network Vision LTE upgrades: http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/

______

EDIT# 2: Reading your comments, I realized many of you are not aware that LTE is NOT AVAILABLE for our phones !!! ... Now you want to ask me why did I bother to post this article since our phones are not supported ... Because since they started the Network Vision upgrades, the 3G speeds have vastly improved !!! I remember 3G download speeds between 200 to 400 Kbps and now I constantly get between 800 Mbps to 2.2 Mbps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] samsmalls:
Thanks great article! Think i'm gonna grab some gas from Hammond, IN tomorrow & run a few speed test while there! Now for this Galaxy S III LTE! I didn't kno Samsung was doing the roll out, I thought it was "clear" or some other co. does this make gs3touch guaranteed LTE?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Well, it's a different division of Samsung that does it. It also includes Ericson. So....don't extrapolate too much on that, other than Sprint and Samsung have a fantastic relationship.

The other thing is, our phone is designed to only utilize a certain protocol on the 800mhz band....now this article was a little over my head, but it falls in line with what we've been trained on in regards to NV: we're deploying all of our protocols across all of our spectrum, but this will require newer devices designed to do so
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Just read that Orange County California is in the second wave of updates! Woohoo!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fiddy619:
As far as needing new devices to run on different radio bands, this is not necessarily the case... Now granted there will have to be some sort of radio update for the older devices, but, that can easily be pushed out ota, other wise how would you think aosp roms would work? So a radio update, and Walla, now the device can receive on set spectrum...

Swyped from my CM-CeEvO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah man...I didn't think both L.A. and Orange County would be in so early but I guess I shouldn't be that surprised. I got the first Epic on launch day, turned on 4g and never turned it off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
still no pittsburgh even though we were one of the first wimax cities... its not even on the list yet.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah? Come down and visit me in San Diego and we'll how that 4G works for ya. ;)

I was happy to see San Diego on the 2nd round list though. Hopefully it goes better than the WiMax deployment. That was nothing but let downs for over 2 years.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I couldn't believe San Diego got left out of the WiMax expansion. There are some major high dollar areas down there too
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Come on over to the valley of Phoenix 5 th largest in the nation and no 4g for sprint but it was the test city for lte so maybe it's already lit up
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
We have Wimax down here in SD, as long as you are on the SDSU campus, or on a boat in the bay.

I was pretty excited to see SD on the list too, then realized that I'll be in Vegas by then. Well, at least I'll have Wimax to hold me over out there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
Wow what a surprise Norfolk Va area is in 2nd round lte deployment :)

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...-sprint-network-visionlte-deployment-in-2012/

I guess Verizon lte blanketing my area last year gave them a kick start
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I'm in San Diego too and I actually noticed the 4G at SDSU while I was touring there, haha. There's also a small area near my neighborhood with 4G coverage, but it's pretty useless since I have wifi when I'm here. It might be because there's a sprint store really close by, but who knows. I hope it gets rolled out in SD soon though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
It's not that simple, of course our phone picks up 800, 1.9, and 2.5, but the hardware has to be present to be able to decode the different protocols on those bands. Hence, our phone is not LTE capable because it doesn't have an LTE radio, yet LTE will be on the 1.9 and our device uses the 1.9 pretty heavily.

And, I literally just went over the training that talks about Sprint deploying multiple protocols on the same bands yesterday...it was stated pretty explicitly that future devices will be the ones to take advantage of that tech. Its OK, that's pretty far down the road.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peryp9:
From what I've been reading, our phones are the last ones that Sprint will ever make compatible to WiMax ... from now on, all the new phones that Sprint will introduce (with 4G suport) will use the LTE radio.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zurginator:
What a surprise (not), I'm one of the first LTE markets.

Grand total of 4G in our area? 3 LTE signals, 2 HSPA+ signals, and the Wimax signal. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jayavarman:
Sprint is following its own independent 4G LTE deployment.

Clearwire's 4G LTE deployment (starting June 2013) will first be overlaid its existing Wimax sites.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Will sprint and clearwire still be working together so that their coverage areas will work for sprint users?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IdowhatIwant:
Thanks for sharing! Now that I see Sprint can't prioritize because of lack of funding or just poor management (Palmdale and Lancaster before Orange County, don't make me laugh Sprint) I'll be heading over to Verizon to use their LTE network that is working NOW.

I'm rich so I'll the pay the extra, it's worth it to not have to settle for 3rd best anymore. It's really getting old.

After 5 years with Sprint they still can't into 2nd gear.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joe.stay:
What does the second round of network vision have in terms of upgrade?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Well, hopefully it reaches where I'm living. Currently WiMax barely hits here (by Esperanza High School, if you know where that is).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
Ya, so much for the NOW network...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radrian92:
I graduated from ehs '10! the signal does suck there! I live on Orangethorpe and Van Buren and 4G is 3bars, 10up/1down..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] regP:
Having a slow moment... Once done is this suppose to improve our 3g data speeds? Because right now I'm really missing T-Mobiles consistent 3g..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
Nice, I live behind Stater Bros. I'm a little older than you...OK, a lot older. I graduated El Dorado in '94. I'll be 36 this year.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2fastkuztoms:
here is the deployment list...

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/212-network-visionlte-deployment-running-list/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jayavarman:
Future phones will need to have radios compatible with both Sprint and Clearwire's LTE networks. Clearwire is focusing on supplementing Sprint's network in key cities.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
+3 - but I will wait till there are some good Roms on the SGS3- that way I know the bugs are worked out and no BS bothers me. Our phones will still be awesome for a long while. I just want TSF Shell to work on ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
We are all in the same area! There seems to be a dead spot kind of in the Imperial Highway/Rose area but all around it the signal seems strong... kind of strange actually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoslo:
glad to see new orleans on the list for the second round.

This is big news since we never officially got wimax :mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
Jacksonville!! Wooooot!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] radrian92:
We should have a little bbq/e4gt meeting lol!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] error4o4:
You said it!

They cant even fix the 3g in this city.

I hate to say it if by end of 2012 I dont have 4g phone options, Verizon it is :(

Sprint has to realize they will be losing customers are some point or another. They cant keep ignoring cities like Phoenix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spitefulrain:
New Orleans was the only place I've ever had 4g? I went on a cruise from there last week and had it before i left and when I returned.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Im convinced that most of Sprints network capacity in Phoenix is being consumed by cricket and the other prepaids. Judging by all the bad esn NIB phones for sale on CL nobody actually pays Sprint directly so why wouldn't they ignore us?

I can however get 4g less than a mile from my house now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jayavarman:
Announced South West Florida and Ft. Wayne/South Bend as the final Round Two markets. There will be special announcements about 4 markets on Friday and Monday.

YeeAahhhh buddy :p riverside County right here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Whosdaman:
People who are worried that Sprint will be getting rid of unlimited data, let me give you this facts that the VP stated yesterday.

Sprint's cost per GB of data will be cut in half by the improvements coming in NV. As well the cost of voice will be cut in half. Our prices should stick right where they are for a very long time :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] viper786:
800 MBPS?!?! Where do you live?? Haha, jk. I still get crap 3G speeds at my house in Metro Detroit. I get about 800kbps where i work .. about 20 miles north of my house.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JasonK75:
Yep, same here for metro Detroit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
It appears sprint is working on towers in my area a little earlier then expected :D

Through out day I noticed that internet browsing was smooth as silk so I just speed tested finding data transfer to be pretty good now.

For the last 2 years thanks to EVO release Ive experienced 100 -300 kbps down / 10 - 200 kbps up.

And now

Webos supports skype very nicely if this is all you use the touchpad for.

I have ICS on mine as well and most of the time I use webOs seems to support almost every site i go to. I have only found a few site it wont work on,Netflix windows live, Hulu.

I use ICS for netflix dont use Hulu and for windows live i just use the webOs email client and hotmail or windows live works fine.

The only thing I am trying to find is a book reader that views text files and has a bookmark or save page function in it , Ics has kemsoft and works but many times bookmark wont work .

[TouchPad General] hyperfire21:
I really want the camera n mic to work too. Is the ics kernel or driver the problem?
[TouchPad General] sean is here.:
This is not the place to pose this question. The place to ask would be Rootzwiki, where the dev's can be found. There you'll find changelogs and sourcecode for just about everything, and you can certainly make changes and compile it yourself.

If you honestly and seriously know what you're talking about, and think you can help, the dev team would probably be very appreciative of assistance. Meaning, if you can code that stuff, great- lend a hand. But if you're just curious, then try to research your question without nagging the devs. They work hard, and for free. You could begin researching the topic, here.

Now, in answer to your question. I could be wrong. I'm just a simple Java/C# coder who can also do a bit of web. But it was my understanding that the driver is the issue. The source code for the kernel has been released, but (also as I understood it, I could be wrong) the entire kernel was not released. The drivers for mic and cam, however, were not released (again, if I understood correctly). So there's the problem. And further, the cam and mic are not at the top of the devs' list of priorities. They are working on other stuff that they feel is more important, about which I tend to agree, unknowingly. I mean, they recently (in the last 4-6 weeks) got us hardware acceleration working (in several applications, but not all). What I mean to say, is that there are bigger fires to be put out that users don't typically see as fires. But also, the cam and mic drivers not being released is a pretty big chunk of code. AFAIK they were going to have to begin to write these from scratch, which is a pretty hefty challenge that they've chosen not to undertake at this point. That's their prerogative, and I'm not going to nit-pick about that.

Basically, if you need cam and mic, you can install CM7 (which has bugs of its own) or you can boot into webOS. Those are our options at the moment.
[TouchPad General] Alarbus:
Or learn software development and learn to write drivers and contribute!

Personally, I know I can't code worth a damn, so I just accept what other people write. ;)

[General Accessories] appletechsupport:
I just moved from Verizon to Tmo with a new job. At home, coverage was spotty. Unlike verizon, Tmo has no femtocell. Picked up a CelFi on ebay for under $200.

In short, the CelFi works well and I now have a good signal at home. The CelFi is basically the same as the Wilson or zboost signal boosters, except that the link between the antenna and base station is wireless, 5 GHz, instead of 50ft of coax cable. I don't think there's a reason to pay up for the CelFi if you can hide the coax, but in my case there wasn't a good way to run it.

In my experience, femtocell > booster, and booster = CelFi unless you don't have a good way to run coax. Hope his helps a Tmo user.
[General Accessories] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I have one of those and it work's great!!!
[General Accessories] appletechsupport:
It does work well, but frankly the fact that Tmo doesn't have a femtocell that connects to broadband is a big disappointment. I suspect they bet on wifi calling instead, which has had mixed reviews by some. I'm on Net10, which is tracfone/same as walmart Straight Talk, and it appears wifi calling is for direct tmo customers only. Fortunately I found the CelFi.
[General Accessories] mbwelch:
Do any of you guys using Cel-Fi have the units disconnecting every few minutes? Mine works well for a few minutes, then they disconnect (status light flashes green on both units for about 15 seconds) and then they reconnect again for a few minutes. I've tried shutting off all wireless devices in my house thinking it is experiencing interference but it still keeps happening. The window unit has a solid 2-3 bars all the time and the coverage unit has an 8 or 9 when connected. I'm wondering if my system is defective?
[General Accessories] cisco3280:

I have an Iphone 4 GSM(AT&T) with Straight Talk..I did not see my Cell provider on the CelFi list..

[General Accessories] weirdfate:
I have a s2 from tmobile on straight talk and can say that the WiFi calling option does not function. Says unsupported sim. Called ST and they said it won't work
[General Accessories] quailallstar:
T-Mobile gives you a CelFi unit for free if your a customer and have truly poor service indoors. I've had my unit for 2+ years (I beta tested for TMO) and it works really well. Without the unit I have at most 1 bar of 4G. With the unit I have 3-4 bars of 4G and decent speeds. Also by default this works on those people using Simple Mobile (TMOs MVNO).

Can't complain although im moving to Silver Spring, MD this week from Miami, FL and the coverage in my new place is even worse than in Miami.

BACK on TOPIC.

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Appreciate you mentioning T-Mo Signal Booster does 4G (Data and Voice).

( Unit linked to by T-Mo if you don't qualify links to http://cel-fi.com/ , it only talks about 3G)

My situation is Outside get decent signal, inside due to house having old plaster walls, with a extra layer of drywall over them, PLUS Aluminum siding on outside of house signal is pretty iffy.

Hoping T-Mo Signal Booster on it's way to me will help.

Open Signal Maps v?

Inside 4G?

-109dBm, 3asu

Fluctuates between t-MO'S 4G

UMTS =

EDGE = -91dBm , 11asu

Outside:

-99dBm, 10asu or better. (Varies)

2-3bars average - via 4.04 Android signal indicator. (T-Mo plat maps show me in green area, very close to dark green (BEST?) IIRC.

.
[General Accessories] WeAreNotAlone:
Guess I'll respond to my own post.

Cell-Fi T-Mo branded signal booster definitely improved the signal and increased standby/talk/data standby use time.

Called T-Mo Feb 4th 2013 or so to obtain one for a family member..

T-Mo says they are out of stock until JUNE 2013.

They said there is no way to pre-order.

No way to reserve.

No way to pre-pay

No way to place a order, then have unit shipped out, billed

Only way to get one shipped is to call back, hoping you call when they have items in stock.

Way to run a business T-Mo.

(If I was running things I'd what to know how many units to order. How the heck do you get a handle on projected sales /persons interested in your product if you don't take orders?)

I guess that is why they don't have any in stock, eh?

T-Mo management session:

Q: How many Cell-Fi boosters do we need to ORDER?

A: Just a few, no one calling in has placed a "order".

[General Accessories] quailallstar:
:good:

I will say my unit is a little wonky (my second one) and sometimes drops my bars from 5 to none. This is probably due to the window unit only having one or two bars at best. I'm in a true dead zone here in 20901 :/
