[Atrix 4G General] el_venga:
HSPA+ is not classified as 4g because it is not a real advance in this type of tech same as WiMax. just to be clear, not judging or anything like that. i.e. ntt docomo tested 100.00 mbps years ago and it was still 3g.
[Atrix 4G General] ripin150:
I fail to see how your comment was constructive, either way, I have serious doubts his carrier will have the technology to broadcast HSPA+.

To the OP, as far as ROMs and stuff go, yes, they will work. How much network functionality you get really just depends. I'm pretty certain youll at least retain Call/SMS capability.
[Atrix 4G General] tehrules:
I now own both an Atrix 4G and Atrix... now I just want clarify a few things for you based on two stock devices.

The Atrix 4G is a very crippled, and restricted version of the Atrix. In fact, the Atrix is more 4G than the Atrix 4G if you want to play to ATT's marketing crud.

Why? The bands it supports. The Atrix will support 3G(UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSPA/HSPA+ are all forms of 3G and HSPA+ is not 4G as AT&T call it. In the UK, THREE have HSPA+ that runs at 42mbps, but they don't call it 4G!) on 850/900/1900/2100 where as the Atrix 4G only supports these on 850/1900/2100

One advantage the Atrix 4G has over the Atrix is that you don't need to apply a ram fix when flashing roms (however it looks as if people have started to incorporate this into their roms anyway).

I'll be doing a comparison video at some point to explain this in more detail. Check this link here for some rough differences: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3709&idPhone2=3708

I haven't investigated however if flashing a Atrix 4G Baseband/Radio to an Atrix will have any detrimental effect, other than maybe the issue you get with a Atrix 4G where if you flash an Atrix baseband/radio to an Atrix 4G your 3G signal bar reads 0 all the time.
[Atrix 4G General] lonepal:
Understood thanx.The problem is in the sms function.There will be no Turkish characters when i flash US roms am i right?How can i get ICS roms with TR caharacter support or a multilanguage support?And can you advise me a rom and kernel which is superior in performance (especially gaming) and ICS based?I hope 3G will work proper with US roms&kernels :cool:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntaylor48:
Hey there you awesome developers.

I am just after a new rom which is stable and fairly fast but with good battery life.

I am currently on the official Three UK 4.03 rom and frankly.. it sux the big one.

The battery life is just absolutely terrible and it is also starting to become a little buggy in the last few days.

I have also had bluetooth connection problems to my work car since upgrading to ICS.

Any ideas or good suggestions for a rom that you can recommend??

Cheers people and major props for an awesome forum, just awesome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There is no such thing as the "fast but stable rom with good battery life". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.

A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.

I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.

Given how quick/simple it is to flash roms & backup/restore in CWM there is no excuse for you not trying out a bunch of roms for yourself. Tipping this thread is closed within an hour.

Title says it all, anytime you screen cap and write on it or cut and paste or just send it via mms without making a change it always resizes the image to a smaller picture with less quality, anyway to change this?? Its one of the cool reasons I picked up the phone and now I find out its been done a great injustice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zelendel:
There is a well known max mms size on ATT of 600k anything bigger will be shrunk down to fit. Nothing you can do about it.

[Acer Iconia A500] orobin:
Hello,

Acer A500, running latest FlexReaper (R12).

I would like to change the voltage of the processor

(specially when screen is off, and wifi is off : I switch off the wifi when tablet is sleeping)

with Voltage control and SetCpu it seem that I can't

is it a kernel limitation ?

I don't find other kernel easy to install, without changing the rom

any help would be great

Olivier
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Hey orobin. It's a limitation of the kernel right now. You can't overclock or underclock flexreaper right now. Currently there are no kernels available to do this unless you try Thor's ICS rom which can be found on tegraowners. No overclockable ICS roms on XDA though.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelly_boy:
Hi guys,

Please help. I can not for the life of me understand why my talkmobile R800i xperia play will not work on .42 or .62. Every time I upgrade I get the yellow triangle in the top corner. When I select Talkmobile, it says registered on network but nothing happens. The triangle remains and I have not signal.

If I downgrade to an earlier version of firmware 2.3.2. It works just fine.

Pulling my hair out here. Pelase help.

Many thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Either your APN settings are missing, or the newer baseband version doesn't like your carrier.

Try flashing the newer firmware in flashtool and selecting the option to exclude baseband.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelly_boy:
Afraid I think my phone has had it.

even on old f/w it does not work. although it looks like it has signalk it does not.

Have tried different sims, so it is not just talkmobile.

There is a hidden menu if I remember. something like *#*#06#*#* . Does anyone know it? searching for it removes the # signs sorry. so cant find it.

also this may be important. It say when I disable radio, and bring it back on. MM #6 is not allowed. Is this something to do with IEMI number?

t

thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nelly_boy:
OK, this is defo MM #6 error. I have contacted my carrier and they have said that the phone is not blocked.

So it appears that the upgarde to ICS has screwed my phone. Any really clever people out there that can help me?

thanks

Neil
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerheli:
I belive the code you are thinking of is *#*#4636#*#*. this will get you to the hidden menu where you can change the radio type and turn on and off the radio etc...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
Here's an article that looked at the speeds of various networks... nothing surprising here. Here's the excerpt about Sprint...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...test-network/2012/04/18/gIQAJ4pfQT_story.html

"Sprint’s network speeds came in dead last in all testing cities, and its 4G WiMax offering was behind even 3G network speeds from its competitors. The company is looking to convert its WiMax network to LTE, and, according to the report, has focused the bulk of its development resources on that conversion."

Pretty sad that we're paying for "4G" service when it's slower than 3G on other carriers. I'm really surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit over Sprint's advertising "4G" speeds which aren't fast and are hardly available to most users.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
Where are the results?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Get what you pay for. Even though we pay for premium data our plans are still cheaper than Verizon/AT&T. T-Mo I don't know.

Meh. I'm gonna stick with sprint and see how Network Vision pans out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
Sadly I don't think this is a surprise to anyone. But hey I don't mind being on the slowest network, just wish their speeds are at leasst a little more competitive and it sounds like sprint is working on that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] misterzeno:
This should be no surprise to anyone on here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
America's slowest network, but we are still unlimited.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

T-Mo is similar to Sprint, in some situations less, so if you include T-Mo that statement doesn't hold w/r/t the charts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Well I don't think overall T-Mo's network is as good as the study shows (when you consider voice quality, data caps, etc. and margin of error with the study). But realistically it is probably VZW>ATT>Sprint>T-Mo.

I don't care what people say about T-Mo's speeds these days. When the G1 came out there were places in NJ/NY I couldn't even get a signal.

My point: if you want a truly reliable/speedy network then pay out for VZW or AT&T. If you don't want to pay then enjoy the slow/unlimited Sprint or the fast/IMO unreliable/data caps of T-Mo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jb8301:
Ridiculous if you ask me lol....its unlimited because the speeds are so slow they aren't worried about anyone going over...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I know I can get good T-mo coverage at home (where I get zero Sprint coverage). I just don't know if I'll get coverage at my parent's house. They are kinda on the boundaries of the maps for all the carriers. I get zero Sprint coverage there but AT&T and Verizon both have good signals.

I've priced out phones and plans and T-mo is cheaper for me than Sprint. AT&T and Verizon are just a little more ($5-10) considering the data/voice/txt that we use and the company discounts I can get. We're definitely switching at first opportunity, just have not fully decided on AT&T or T-mo.

-Daryel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
And that chart is showing the big companies.. I have Simple Mobile in my area which piggy backs off of T-Mobile and they get 4g inside buildings and faster speeds than us with being a month to month company... That gets me upset I must admit...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tx_dbs_tx:
It took me nearly 5 minutes to load google.com on my Epic Touch last night! That was on 3G. Pathetic to say the least. Even 4G is terribly slow where I live. 4G is only as fast as what decent 3G used to be. What's going on? If this doesn't improve drastically by the end of this year I'm switching back to Verizon. It just isn't worth having an unlimited data plan for it to suck like this. Makes me want to stop paying my $250 phone bill every month. Nobody is getting what they're paying for and suing sprint isn't going to help matters or i would definetely concider doing just that. And yes prepayed providers are MUCH faster than Sprint in most areas. Sooooo SAD!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imaginos:
I'm in the Boston area and only recently have I experienced 4G. I've been on SERO for years and have been completely satisfied as a 3G user on numerous WinMo devices. My upgrade of a line to the E4GT has me paying an extra $20/mo but I still have no complaints. My expectations and usage are both low. Happy Sprint customer here!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Masterface7:
I hope they upgrade their base 3g since it is too big of a battery kill to stay on 4g all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Guess it's in the eye of the beholder. I'm not looking for 3G/4G to be a broadband replacement and by habit use Wi-Fi wherever I can, mainly for saving battery. Also, the MVNO I'm with gives us a deal better than any other major carrier by a significant amount so we'll be with them unless a better deal comes along. It does what I need and for now it's enough.

Having said that, here's what PC World's slide on Chi-town said:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] globalninja:
I don't know what happened to their network, but I used to get 4-5mb down on the epic 4g on 3g and 12mb down 4g

Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
LOL.. no thanks, I'll go with the results from the actual comprehensive nationwide speed comparison and not your biased conclusion.. because you couldn't get signal on occasion with T-Mobile in New Jersey.

The point is, everyone's experience will be different depending on where you live, that's why they tested in many states, and then averaged the scores.

I switched from T-mobile to Sprint for my Epic Touch and I was severely disappointed with Sprints data speeds, that being said I'm sticking it out for LTE.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dhoshman:
I think everyone here already knew what those results were going to look like. Now let's see those same tests done this time next year. Supposedly NV is improving 3g speeds also. Not being an ass or anything but truthfully speaking If you don't think Sprint is worth your money switch network's. I went and got a DROID RAZR last year and loved there 3g but 4G went out far too often. And my bill was the same for one phone what it is for 2 on Sprint, did have unlimited data though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Dont really think that is an issue with most. I try and buy my phones off of people or Craigslist so that when I am ready to go there is no problem. Most people will leave but its a lil harder when you are in a contract and money may be tight. Me personally I do not think I can go back to a reg company if I leave with month to month companies offering better service than the Big 4
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iBustCh3rries:
I miss T-MO :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
I'd be pissed if I used my phone as my primary internet, but I don't, so meh. That being said, I consistently get 1-2mb on 3g, and 8-12 on 4g in Orange County, Ca. T-Mobile may test faster, but have you seen their ping times? 600-1000ms all the time. No thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Im not complaining! I do everything i need just fine. Im currently at 18gb of 4g usage. Try that on the other carriers. I'm hardly ever on 3g so the crappy speeds sprints 3g gives are never an issue :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jkrough0728:
You have to remember that ATT/Verizon have already enhanced their 3G so yes they are faster for now. But if you read about NV coming, it will make 3G faster and better call quality. I would never switch to any other carrier, their caps and prices are no good. But everyone has their opinion.

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/32-network-vision-explained/

How do you people NOT understand how significant it is?

Yes, Sprint's speeds suck in a lot of areas.

Okay, cool. We've talked about that for a year and a half on these forums.

Sprint is doing something that is going to make their network able to truly compete with Verizon and At&t.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] schwab002:
Isn't T-mobile cheaper than sprint? I wonder how their voice coverage is.

Well sprint has a year and a half left to pick it up before I decide to re-up or switch carriers. 50kps 3g and spotty to non-existent 4g isn't cutting it. And I live in NYC.

Network Vision eh? They have already began failing at it. Example, Denver.... LTE is NOT coming to us till 2014, and in 2014 rollout is going to ONLY cover major highways, expected to be thinner than our WiMax coverage, which is **** right now.

3G is literally getting worse and worse here as well, I know they have been adding lots of iPhone subs, but it is pathetic when compared to other carrier... Verizon has huge LTE coverage here, ATT &TMO both have great HSPA +. I guess since I am on Sero though..

Ive had At&t along time ago. before 4g and all that. just left tmobile. they taxed and added random app charges they eventually refunded, but even their capped speed are better than this garbage a$$ internet. they saying 4g where i live by 2014 WTF 2014 my contract will be over by that and everyone will be onto 6g by then.i have never been more disapointed in one of my decisions in my life. i tried to cancel services but they said a restocking fee partial month service and some other charger i just paif out like 500 bucks on phone and another 200 bucks on cancelation fees im kinda stuck with this garbage. but i bad mouth them every single chance i get. where i live tmobile is concider low budget service. but its way effin better than sprint. if theyd let me out off my contract id cacel in a minute. ive been using roam control roaming only for 4 months and no cancel letters. i keep my fingers crossed every day when the mail comes. oh yeah HEY SPRINT YOUR SERVICE SUCKSSSSSS. all the money with the millions of customers and you cant get you act together? quit being greedy make you customers happy.

I didn't bother to look at where the tests were performed because from personal experience, for the past eight years I have had similar or better signal/performance as opposed to those around me. This is from living in Texas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Washington, and now Hawaii. Sprint may not have the best speeds, but as far as I am concerned my personal experiences and satisfaction have been far better than what I had on T-Mo.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] santizinho:
It's frustrating. I was initially on T-Mobile's prepaid plan ($65 or so) with unlimited everything and throttling data after 2 gb. I just switched to sprint and the speed difference punched me right in the nuts. Just incredible how slow and fickle it is when I'm driving. Hopefully there will be changes in the next year or so. I like their unlimited data idea but whats the point of unlimited if it takes such a long time to download a game or an app. I hope when their LTE network is setup their will be a drastic difference.
