Gay. Why is it the states get the ****ty end of the stick when it comes to android phones? Phones have to be modified to come to the states and then the same phone that released in europe, korea, and china differs from what we get here.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Maybe because they aren't US based companies? Motorola is, and I am pretty sure the US moto phones are released before their international equivalents. Also, US carriers run on different frequencies from everyone else.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jselden:
I am pretty excited for it. I am waiting to use it hands on before I make the dive. My plan just went up a few days ago so I am waiting to test this before upgrading if it comes to Verizon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
No lte, not exited anymore.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Wrong. It will have lte but not quad core.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
That was what I was referring to. With quad, no lte.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
Why wont quad core work in the US OF A? You would think our networks would be superior to others around the world ..
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Just compatibility issues.. the htc one x in the us is actually the international one xl (l for lte) which has dual core. The skyrocket doesnt even have the exynos chip in the regular gs2 it has a snapdragon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] slane35:
Same here. Avoiding Samsung in the future...
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
It's not like the Snapdragon 4 is any slouch... It can trade blows with the Tegra 3 while missing two and a half cores.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
I hear alot of devices are gonna run S4 chipsets...but those are rumors
[Verizon Droid Charge] braveally:
Well...

I would be good as long as it's a quad core processor. With all those extra software features it would suck to downgrade. No lte would just be foolish. As much as I want to be, i'm not super excited though. Plus it's likely devs will remove some of those features when custom roms come around.

Hopefully verizon gets it but I haven't seen cdma listed in any specs. I would love to get my hands on it. If i'm not sold I will probably get a (hopefully reduced in price) galaxy nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Well the US carriers get entirely different handsets that are built around each individual carrier. The biggest example of this is the differences between the Epic, Captivate, Fascinate, and original Galaxy S.
[Verizon Droid Charge] razieltov:
The iPhone 5 has been out for quite awhile. You may have heard of it. Its called the iPhone 4s.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I'm pretty sure they're making an iPhone 5 for the summer.

Sent from my handheld Linux computer using electromagnetic radiation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I bet the iPhone 5 is going to put a major cramp on the networks, considering it pretty much has to be LTE enabled.

Then Verizon will try to stomp out our unlimited plans, likely trying to entice those with unlimited to jump on Family Share plans...

As for the GS3, I'm sure its a nice phone, but damn, I really wanted non-pentile.

I am very curious to see some measurements of the headphone amp to see if the GS3 is on par with the Charge. The U.S. version of the GS3 will likely have a DAC integrated with Krait whereas the international version will have a variation of the Wolfson DAC, apparently with twice the output power on the headphone amp.

The GS3 is cool, but I personally went with the Rezound. I still got a Charge though. Honestly, I'm more excited for future HTC devices than Samsung.

I really feel like the SUPER LCD 2 display of the HTC One X is the first LCD to be worthy of replacing SAMOLED+. It should be really interesting to see some more competition in the display and build quality of the Android flagships.

As for Krait vs Tegra3, I feel like Krait is the overall superior platform. Quad-core Krait will be even more insane.

I do find it obnoxious how we basically have to take a gamble on a new phone regarding the future development. Some phones are treated to AOSP and easy to unlock bootloaders. On the other hand, AT&T's HTC One X, doesn't even have HTC Dev Unlock... We should all buy our phones 1 year late to see how well they fair. A reoccurring trend seems to be that of the RIL. AOSP for the Rezound hinges on the RIL, just like the Charge. I'm happy and thankful with both phones the way they are, but its like the old saying: "so close, yet so far."

Now I'm just rambling...
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
Why not just get the nexus? So close to AOSP it is..
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
True that!
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
if Verizon would drop the price on the nexus for 99$ I would jump on it, still has that same 720p display that the s3 has
[Verizon Droid Charge] bwheelies:
Albeit, smaller.

Saw a post on a website confirming gs 3 on Verizon.

Kind of exciting. Supposed to drop in June.

I am going to hold off for a while.
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
Well, if it's not a quad, we're better off with the gnex. True aosp, not touchwiz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] juanzr1:
Just seen a couple of videos of the gs3 and I'm definitely sold on it , and I really think Verizon version will have some cool design tweaks even though I like the design of it now, just playing the waiting game now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bwheelies:
I don't like the galaxy nexus. Small onboard storage, ugly shape, radio issues that made my charge look like it had Motorola radio hardware.

That phone will never be mine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I have to wait til January next year for my upgrade. By that time there will probably be something worth waiting for. There's nothing on the market right now that I'd pay full price to upgrade to.

I don't see any reason for quad core on a smart phone. I must not be seeing the whole picture or something. Enlighten me. Why do we need quad core? Won't quad cores eat batteries even faster? If we do a lot of multi-tasking we'll have too many battery eating processes going on at once the way I see it. They'll really have to give up on the idea that thinner is better and make thick phones with huge batteries.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
You know in my experience moto phones have the best internal radios, and samsung ones have the worst.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

The Tegra 3 has a fifth low-power core that does basic tasks. It is a huge battery saver compared to most other CPUs. I don't know if Exynos will utilize this, however.

Here is a better explanation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1qKdBX4-jc&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLFAE20E16D31DA8EC

Also if you have not seen a video of the international HTC One X I recommend you watch some and look at how smooth it runs with full blown HTC sense that lags even the Snapdragon S3, for example.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mS_Design:
Hi guys, I recently reinstalled windows from 7 to 7.5 but I lost all the contacts which I added onto my phone since I was on 7. There was no options that I saw to "save to sim card or save to phone" like most other phones out there so I dont know where they are saved.. I had a brain wave about the fact that the contacts were "linked" with my email account but there is only the emails saved. I am wondering if the numbers are saved somewhere or, each time I have to reinstall I will have to ask fro their numbers every time? Has anyone else had this happen?

Please let me know as I really want to update my rom and radio for better battery life!

Many thanks,

Marc
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
you cant save contacts to SIM card.. not compatible... phone automatically save contacts to your Live account (and you never loose contacts if you not loose your login data ;)) this is only if you login to Live account with your phone (and also live activation code entered)

you can access online to your account contact list via

http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mS_Design:
ahh yes, i see it now, so then I can export the whole list as a .csv file too. Now I sign in on my phone and can add it to the phone directory? Sorry if its nooby but I cant seem to access anything like that through the dedicated email app? Juat on internet explorer?

Marc
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dxdy:
if you have mails in contacts list, you simply use mail app

and again, all is simple... you thinking too much :) simple: add Live account to phone and all is solved... all your contacts be saved and you not loose it and you use this contacts with phone or computer...

i give you this link http://mail.live.com/?rru=contacts to access it via computer (if you need to change contacts very easy if need it), not with WP7...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ken481:
Hi

I have a non rooted samsung galaxy s2.

I was able to set it as a wifi hotspot and then assess internet from my laptop and my wifes phone.

Yet today its not working anymore.

I manage to activate it on my phone - the devices did connect to my galaxy - yet they are unable to use the internet connection?

The only thing i think might be causing this is avast mobile security.

Has anyone had a similar problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adik82:
Yes ..you are right thats because of your antivirus..or else just to make your doubt clear you can go in computer wifi settings ..wipe all previous access point then try pairing with your device again or check your firewll settings.

Is there a solution for this?

Does this happen only with avast or with all other antiviruses?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] franz_cr:
Hi All, I just bought a SIM unlocked Vivid, still on his way to me tough, and I pretend to upgrade to ICS as soon as I receive it. So I went ahead on my investigation, and after spending several hours trying to understand how the ICS upgrade works, and how to do it without bricking or boot-looping it. I read thoroughly the SUPERGUIDE thread, saw some videos, and read HTC Vivid's support page (sorry I'm not allowed to post any link yet), but still I'm quite confused or unsure on the best process to follow. Sincerely after reading and reading, and searching many threads I got more confused. Although I've got a technology background, I'm completely new to this flashing-ROM-upgrading world.

My question is simple, I pretend to use the HTC Vivid page's instructions to perform the upgrade manually using the RUU ICS (444 MB) provided there (since I don't have any access to the AT&T network), and use "HTC SYNC 3.0.5617 FOR HTC VIVID™ (AT&T)" installed on my PC to flash the phone.

Assuming that the phone comes with the stock Gingerbread ROM and with the bootloader locked, since it's only SIM unlocked. If I understood correctly SIM unlocking has no relation with bootloader unlocking.

Can someone validate if I'm right? Or if not point me to the right direction?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
Once you unlock your bootloader and achieve S-Off you should be able to upgrade regardless of what carrier your are or aren't using.

What carrier are you using ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] franz_cr:
I'm currently outside the States, in Costa Rica, the carriers we have down here are a state owned, Movistar (Spaniard company) and Claro (Mexican company). None have the ICS upgrade available, not even HTC phones.

Does your answer mean that if the phone is SIM unlocked them the bootloader is unlocked too?

Thanks.

Franz
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] :
No, you will also need to unlock you bootloader using the HTCdev site and then achieve S-Off before you upgrade to ICS.

Check out the superuser guide for help with these two steps.

If this helped you please hit the Thanks button.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Archector:
Just update your phone with RUU and then unlock the bootloader with the All in one Tool or the instructions in HTC Dev.

Before that you may decide install a custom rom with the recommended kernel, perm root, s-off etc.

Remember you have to use RUU with a locked or relocked bootloader.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] franz_cr:
This are the steps I followed for upgrading to ICS

Thanks to Archector and Esloan, both advices were very useful.

Just for the record, this is what I did for my succesful ICS upgrade:

I read, read, and read to clearly understand what Bootloader, S-Off / S-On, Recovery, Stock ROM, etc. is all about. This forum will be a great place to do this. The following steps shouldn't taken as final word, you should be able to understand if you can continue when some steps differ a bit.

2 Once clear on all these concepts, and clear on what I wanted to do, I downloaded the ICS stock ROM named as 'htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe' and downloaded the HTC Sync Software into my computer (both from HTC's support page).

Installed the HTC Sync Software. This software installs all proper drives needed to communicte the PC with the phone. BTW I'm using Win 7.

On the phone disabled the 'Fastboot' option. Went to Settings > Power > Un-tick the 'Fastboot' checkbox. Enabled USB Debugging at Settings > Applications > USB Debugging. Then switched off the phone and waited 5 seconds (aprox.) after screen went off.

Be sure you have enough battery charge and the phone is NOT connected to the PC.

Now turned on the phone into the 'Bootloader' mode (hold the Volume_DOWN button and while holding it press the Power button until the Bootloader screen shows). If you don't know what I'm talking about then you'll need to read much more and widen your understanding on these concepts.

Checked that the first line of the Bootloader screen reads 'Locked'. If not I advice to stop here and better follow the very comprehensive guides for upgrading that can be found in this forum. To go out of Bootloader mode navigate to 'Fastboot' menu item (with the volume keys), select it (Power button), and select 'Reboot'.

If Bootloader is locked connect the phone to the PC using the USB cable provided with the phone. The PC will recognize the device since the HTC Sync is already installed and running in the background. Win 7 shows a globe indicating that the device is recognized.

On the PC I browsed to where the RUU executable was downloaded and ran this installation utility. Then followed the onscreen instructions.

After several minutes in the process, status bars on the PC and the phone completing. Then disconnected the phone from the PC and rebooted the phone. After reboot the phone was on ICS!

Refer to the 'Upgrade the AT&T HTC Vivid to Ice Cream Sandwich via leaked RUU' article on the Android Authority site since this is where I took them.

And remember that my phone was a stock Vivid, never changed the Bootloader, never installed any type of ROM, the current ROM was a stock GB, model HTC PH39100 and the phone is SIM unlocked.

I'm posting this with the hope to help someone else in the same situation and has concerns about upgrading to ICS and bricking the phone in the process.

Update to ICS on att htc vivid sim unlocked

Hi All,

I understood how to update to ICS.But,can you clearly tell me what are the important prerequisites to be considered before doing.Confused at bootloader ,whether it should be locked or unlocked and what S-on/s-off.it should be on or off? where i have to check it?

Please guide me so that i can update to ICS.

hi mate i have the same problem/question i have the same phone htc vivid with sim unlocked and im from mexico, im glad u did ur upgrade succesfull, can u please write all the steps u did in spanish, also do u know if im going to loose any of my apps, media or documents? Thanks a lot gracias!!!!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ayulatins:
You should relock bootloader before flashing any stock ROM but it doesn't matter if s-off or on...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ncorona:
thanks for the help!!

Thanks for the translation, mate, still to hard for me. I found a better simple way to do it just like i did.

To get the ICS update on a AT&T HTC VIVID with unlocked SIM ( not root ) just dial *#*#682#*#* and thats it !!!! (make sure u have full batery or be connected (charging)

a download will apear on the bar up the screen i think was like 344mb , its going to take like 15-20 min, then the screen goes black an appear a symbol in the middle and a status bar, just wait for it to finish, When its done your phone will restart like 4 times by itself, and vuala!!! on the next restart the phone just got back on like a normal turn on , after the at&t logos it will appear the Beats Audio logo and next youll see your home screen but with the new under bar and the phone will start asking you to do some app updates. When you finish the updates the phone willnsynchronize all contacts, mails, sms, etc. and thats it !! ENJOY ICS AND SENSE 3.6 ON YOUR HTC VIVID.

I hope this post will help other people like me outside the us with sim unlocked vivid using a different carrier to enjoy the update!!

CHEERS FROM MEXICO !!!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] 67trancealien67:
Hi,long time lurker.First time poster!

i suffer from the usual RR and SOD like many others even after the .21 update.

an hour ago my tf101 was having browser issues so i did a cold boot,when it came back up the wallpaper had changed from the stock asus tree scene to a wallpaper i had used weeks ago. This seems very odd considering only yesterday i factory reset the device 3 times as suggested by others and i also did a data wipe .

Now my brand new dock shows a blinking red light like its charging but dual battery widget reports it as 0% .I dont know how long i can keep faith in this machine after the ICS fiasco.:mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] farsight73:
Isn't it blinking red light mean low on battery? and Steady red light mean charging..

And new update .21 was proven not solving the SOD and RR bugs as in many reports here too. I suggest you use Wakelock app to solve this bugs.
