I've had my airave since October 2011 and it's made a HUGE difference in service. I live in an area that the Sprint coverage map says has great voice and full 3G, but in actuality I can barely get 1 bar anywhere in my neighborhood, data is deplorable and, often I was roaming in my own apartment. Because of this I had to argue through 3 CS reps before they just gave me one without trying to charge the $120. I do not have it locked down to my number, and i have not noticed any issues with my internet speed - Netflix works flawlessly on my laptop and through my bluray. I have noticed that my phone will sometimes not switch over once in range and I have to toggle airplane mode to straighten it out. Frustrating, but rare.

I would like to know how one of the the previous posters was able to finagle an upgrade out of the Airave line though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ANTHONY81L:
my airrave is awesome .. i had to ***** to like 3 people to get it free with no monthly payment but i finally got it . but when i leave my house i dont get the reception .. even like in my driveway so unless your in an apartment building with thin walls i dont think the reception would even reach anyone elses place
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kc_exactly:
I love mine. You finally get some decent 3g speeds. I don't think you have to worry about locking it though. The range isn't that far and you have to also take into account that not everyone has a sprint phone. Plus it doesn't effect my computer speeds at home. We can have Netflix going on two computers and i can talk on the phone with no hiccups.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Slash8915:
Thanks for the replies, everyone. Where I currently live, I have decent coverage, but I wanted to have it before I moved. I REALLY hope I don't have any text issues, because that would really irritate me. As far as admin fees, I doubt I'll be charged anything. Being as that I'm a store manager, every fee so far has been waived. It also meant I was able to get my E4GT for $50 the day it came out. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
I have the texting issue... they have reset the air rave continuously, replaced it twice... and it still base the same problem. Doesn't matter if I am connected to wifi or not.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
The Epic 4G Touch forum, as well as the XDA site is rife with complaints about the Airave. I had it and I had the problem with handing off calls once I left its range but my kids had tons of problems with text messages queuing up. Others swear by it.

Just remember: You have to return it or they will charge you for the device. Not hard but when I returned mine they tried to charge me. I think it was $250. I kept my tracking number tho so no problem... Except for one more 30 minute to Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Do not, I repeat do not lock the airrave down so only you can use it.

This results in anyone else trying to use a sprint phone within the airraves coverage not able to get service at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] swear0730:
And yet if you don't lock it down you allow anybody with Sprint service to use your internet... unlimited... unknowingly... Yeah, the last thing I want is for my wacked out neighbor downloading kiddie porn through my internet connection.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
And the last thing I want is for my neighbor to start using a device which makes my cell phone completely unusable in my home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
I have mine locked down to my phones only.

+1 for the lock it from others using it to download illegal stuff.

+1 for it being limited to 3 calls at once and if you have 10 neighbors and 3 are using it you cant make or receive calls.

Mine is locked down and will remain that way.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
6 simultaneous voice calls, assuming we are talking about the airvana and not the old Samsung model of which I don't know the specs.

I live in an apartment complex and have never had an issue.

Obviously its your choice to lock it down, just take some time to think about how you would feel if you could no longer get any cell phone service in your house.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JDinAZ74:
I've had mine about 3 month and have had absolutely no problems with phone calls or texting. As others have said you can lock it to your phone only so no one else can use it the only downside to this is if anyone else in your immediate area uses sprint their phone will lock onto the airave as its the strongest signal but it will give them a "not authorized to use this service" message when they try to use their phone.

I know this cause it happened to my neighbor. I finally unlocked it as it wasn't fair to them and honestly unless you have a very slow internet connection or one with very low data limits its not a big deal.

I also have mine set up behind my router (which is pw protected) and it works just fine. Hope this helps some.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] juned99:
I have had the airave for over a year and didnt have any problems until I got my replacement phone from asurion. I cant send text messages at all when the airave is on. I tried resetting, having wifi off, talking to sprint techs for hours and nothing. They even had me go the sprint store and my phone exchanged but the problem still exists. Also, my wife also has an epic touch and she doesnt have any problems at all. They have set up a ticket for me and said a supervisor is going to call within 24-48 hrs. I dont think they know the solution to this problem. I may just shut the airave and roam on verizon.

[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
Hey

I really want this phone but the fact it has no removable battery is a massive minus.

Has anyone discovered a work around for this? I mean like a small emergency charger that will boost the phone for 1-2 hours?

When i go to football i always tweet/FB heavily. And i find by 4-5 pm (5 hours unplugged) i need to think about putting my spare battery in. It isnt the best spare battery but will give the phone an extra 1-2 hours which is enough time for me.

Thanks

[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
Are the Duracell ones any good for phones this high spec?

Are the others small enough to carry in your pocket?
[HTC One X] schriss:
Brand/price of the charger doesn't matter. I use 10 euro worth small charger that has connector built in, it doesnt use cable. I just plug it into my phone and it will charge it. I always have it in my bag, fully charged. Use it rarely, but knowing I have it there helps. It's also light enough.

a bigger version of this:
[HTC One X] svenvv:
I have one of those 5000mah packs from asolar (theres alot of them on amazon) and it works great! Although it's way too large to fit into your pocket, i usually bring it when I'm traveling. It can fully charge a phone like the one X - Twice!

About the size:

Its about the same size as an SGS, but twice as thick.
[HTC One X] oxfordmark:
Are the duracells any good? Would the one x get a fee hours of charge?
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
True, but the specs do. How fast the battery pack outputs power makes a big difference in how long it takes to charge the phone. Also some of the higher-end solutions can hold up to four full charges. Here's a chart...
[HTC One X] schriss:
Yes but I wanted cheap solution that works. So it charges pretty quickly as it gets really worm while charging my phone. It's not going to make my phone last a day, the purpose is to give me a boost when needed, nothing more, and for that its perfectly spent tenner.

I do have another charger that holds way more power and is able to charge my laptop, comes with multiple plugs as well as USB port, but I wouldn't carry that with me everyday like I can with the small cheap one.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
I got a 7000mah one from Amazon for 20 quid, it's a cheaper less rip off copy of the 'new trent' chargers can't remember the brand though. Works a treat, charges with 1amp just as quick as a mains charger!

Didn't see any threads about it but have seen some interest in it.

Checked out the sprint site this morning and saw that you can pre order the LG viper and galaxy nexus.

Curious who will make the switch.

[HTC EVO 3D] munsterrr:
Also with the Sammy invites going around for the early may announcement for the A new galaxy. Busy times for decision making begins
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Absolutely not. That phone is already over 6 months old, Sprint is WAY too late on this one.
[HTC EVO 3D] cheddaface:
yup i just pre ordered this, i just really want fast updates and pure google
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
It's still one of the best phones out.
[HTC EVO 3D] munsterrr:
Personally I think its just a piece of mind...earlier adoption of the newest, latest, and greatest means you will get the most out of your money over 2 years.

This generation of phones though...its a difficult decision. Dev love and updates or better guts and less community
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
And, along with the LG Viper, first with LTE on Sprint.

I for one will be waiting until LTE is rolled out to see if it is even available in my town outside of Dallas. 4G Wimax shows to be available in my area now, but I can never get a connection.

How so? Sense adds more in depth integration to the Android OS and overall makes the OS easier to use.

IMO,

Best OS integration:

1 WP7

2 Android + Sense

3 AOSP

4 iOS

Steepest learning curve

1 WP7

2 iOS

3 Android + Sense

4 AOSP

For 395 you can get the Samsung Nexus unbranded. For 300 and best one, well you can see ebay. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagoSequeira:
I went from x8 to Xperia Play, no regrets. There are many superior phones, but for your budget you cant have the best ones. I also had 300 euros so I considered play and arc s, I'm a sony fanboy yes. In my opinion arc s is the best choice out of those two, but I really value the fisical controls pad, it is so much better than gaming on sceen!

I would buy Xperia S but I don't have that much money

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markvann:
I heard Alcatel launced a really good and cheap phone: Alcatel One Touch 995 (OT-995). It offers a 1,4 Ghz single-core processor, a screen of 4,3 inch, a 5 megapixel camera, and a great back (in my opinion). If you buy the phone seperately, it will only cost you around $240. Well, I live in the Netherland, and here, it's really cheap for such a nice phone (:

My Samsung Galaxy Gio just died yesterday, so I might pick up one soon :) The only sad thing is there's not a XDA forum-section for that phone yet, so searching for ROMs will take some more time...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theaks30:
buy whatever brand you want but dont get a single core :P

buy samsung galaxy s2 (a bit more than your budget, i know its a budget but still)

or lg p990 or wait for gs3 ;)

then these will go down in price, just one or two months ;)

ohh you already have p990, wait for quadcore dude ;) or buy gs2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcabia:
Depending on the 3g network frequency your carrier uses i would recommend a samsung galaxy s captivate (230$) or motorola atrix (340$) but before you buy any phone check the hsdpa/wcdma frequency
[HTC EVO 3D] Jfree3000:
I'm not sure if anyone has experienced this on their 3d before and when I searched the topic there was no real definition or solution. Yesterday while playing around on the phone I had a random reboot (ZR3D Rom using Anthrax) and when the phone booted again I had the message "Safe Mode" in the lower left hand of the screen.

God knows I thought I really screwed something up, booted to recovery, wiped cache, dalvik, and fixed permission to no avail. So this morning I get to work and have some time to look up this safe mode and came across this article:

http://androinica.com/2010/08/how-to-activate-android’s-safe-mode-to-get-out-of-a-force-close-loop/

I had no idea that our phones could do this and its quit the neat feature, in a nut shell if you have a program that keeps force closing and you can not use the phone because of this, the phone can be booted into the safe mode which prevents the phone from loading 3rd party apps so you can remove the app that was giving you problems. All that is needed is a battery pull then hold the menu button while powering the phone on and vice versa to get rid of safe mode.

Like I said I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem or even knew about it but I thought I would share just in case someone needs help.
[HTC EVO 3D] hajalie24:
That's some good info. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] d3cypher:
Holding the volume down once the splash screen appears will put you in safe mode as well, with any reboot no need for a battery pull. You will feel a hard vibrate, stronger than the normal quick one you get on a normal boot.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
interesting info... didn't know that.

on another note.... i have never had a third party app repeatedly force close on me. in the ROM flashing world it has always been a system app.... this method would be useless in that scenario lol.

interesting, though, learn something new everyday.
[HTC EVO 3D] d3cypher:
It has actually been helpful for me, finding out what apps are comparable with joelz's cm9 kang rom.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zong00:
I've been happily running the GEEWIZ 2.6 ROM alternately with GEEWIZ kernel and KGB kernel. No problems at all except for the Stereo Bluetooth connection to my car.

The phone works great on newer versions of my car 2009 Acura TSX and other phones work fine on my car.

Well I (via Google) finally narrowed the problem down. There is a bug in the native android 2.2 and 2.3 code that Samsung pushes right through. HTC for example fixed the code in their phones.

Google this: "Issue 9888:Poor A2DP sound quality". I added the word Acura as well.

Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1 does not have this bug and the phone sounds fine on my car. Would it be possible to extract or port the A2DP code from Cyanogenmod 7 and place it into GEEWIZ or other more stock ROM's?

The reason I want to stay more stock is that I can't get SMS delivery confirmation to work in Cyanogenmod 7 or 9 or Gummy 1.0 and SMS confirmation works well in GEEWIZ 2.6.

I have tried GO and HandCent SMS clients in addition to stock and have checked all combination's of receive and sent notifications and delivery requests and reports. None work. Texts get through fine just no confirmation. Verizon to Verizon should work.

I don't have enough posts to post in the Dev/GEEWIZ thread. Can someone help or cross post please? I've read until I'm blue in the face on both of these issues. ;-)

BTW, I have 2 fascinates and both act exactly the same.

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
No problem, I'll have a look at it for you and see if I can fix that in GeeWiz for the final release. Thanks for PMing me, by the way, I was about to post GW 2.8, but I would like to be able to include this too!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zong00:
thanks

I would be happy to test any change. I'm getting used to flashing every night now. ;-)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
Well, I ported over what I *thought* was everything they did in CM 7.2 and all that I managed to do was destroy the ability to pair with a device so far :(

I dug out my old BT audio receiver and I can certainly hear that it sounds like garbage by default. Well, it wasn't THAT bad but I do see, er hear, what you are talking about.

My concern is that my receiver is old and crappy (it is), and I may never be able to actually hear any difference. That said, I will keep trying for a while, if I can at least pair with the receiver after changing something I will pass it along to you and see if it does something useful for ya!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zong00:
From what I understand the Fascinate with stock software works on older Bluetooth devices OK. I don't know that for sure because I don't have an older bluetooth device. On my car, the stock Fascinate does not have any fidelity, it produces sound via bluetooth like an AM radio with clicking sounds. When updated to Cyanogenmod 7.2, the sound is very FM like with no clicking sounds.

I appreciate the effort!

thanks,
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djp952:
OK, I finally got back to this. I was replacing too many modules, I toned it down a bit to just replace the bluez audio module and the a2dp module. I can absolutely hear a difference now!

It's still Bluetooth, aka not perfect, but I can crank the volume on the Fascinate up much louder before it "splats" (that's a very technical audio term) and overall it just sounds much much better.

I've attached a test version of an update-zip you can try. Should work with Clockwork Mod and/or my GeeWiz Recovery, but I've only tested with the latter of course ;). I will be making a more official version for GeeWiz 2.8 (I may go ahead and release a 2.8.1 with this, it's a pretty big fix -- who cares if I said there would be no more updates, right? LOL)

THANK YOU for pointing this out to me!! Let me know what you think!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zong00:
Not yet

No joy -

First I tried loading the patch over fullwipe GEEWIZ 2.8 and KGB 12/31.

Next I tried loading the GEEWIZ kernel over the KGB kernel.

And finally I tried loading the full 2.8.1 system file.

The sound is still not nearly as clear as Cyanogen 7.2 RC1.

I'm sure if the new build is somewhere in the middle or not. Seems like the full fidelity is present now but the clicking sound is still present.

Cyanogen BT is as clear as a direct audio connection. At least to my old ears. :)

I'll revert back to 2.8 and try the audio test again.

Do you think a full wipe would help - can't imagine why.
