[HTC One S] pyrocide:
Been searching the One S forum for this answer and seem to come up with conflicting answers or at least the way I am interpreting them.

I am currently on US T-Mobile HTC One S running Blackdragon v 3.8. (Honestly the rom doesnt matter as it occurs on all roms I have tried except for the stock T-Mobile rom). I have an idea of what might be the issue, based on this scenario, but I need a definitive answer.

4G signal notification does not show up on any roms built for the UK HTC One S, due to the fact that it isnt available?

So it switches from 3G to H.

Does H represent 4G connectivity? and if it does, then can someone answer me why on the stock T-Mobile rom I get 26M down Speed and 6M up and on any other rom I get maybe 9M down speed and 1-3M up speed when the phone is sitting in the same spot on my desk it got the previous speeds not 10 minutes earlier?

I apologize if this has been answered and confirmed in previous forums, this is the first time i have actually rooted and flashed a device rather than reading and seeing it posted by other people. I seem to get conflicting answers wherever I search for this particular issue. Unless I have failed at searching. Thanks

-Tony
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
H and 4G are supposed to be the same. I can't tell you why your speeds vary, but I know the T-Mobile One S is provisioned for 42mbps HSPA+ and the UK version might just be 21mbps HSPA+
[HTC One S] TechieGeek:
I'm also wondering if flashing custom ROMs would cause us to experience low 4G speeds on T-Mobile USA :/ I experienced this too...

Does anyone know where/how we can revert back to a pure stock experience?
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=24

This line equals 14 on EU roms and 24 on TmoUS rom. I'm running the stock 2.31 rom with 2.21 firmware matching that line to that of the TmoUS in build prop and I get the following speeds.

-MobileUS HTC One S
[HTC One S] TechieGeek:
Could you please post a few more of your ro.ril.h_______ lines from that area? Like the hsupa and hsxpa and stuff like that?

:) Also, any idea where I can download the "stock" rom for T-Mobile? The Maximus ROM isn't purely stock and it was set to 14, not 24.
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
ro.ril.gprsclass = 12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 24

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 6

ro.ril.hsxpa = 4

I'm not sure there is a stock TmoUS rom on here, you might find the closest thing to stock over@ the Modaco Forums. I myself am very happy with the stock 2.31 EU rom and using 2.21 firmware on it, ran RUU to get both.

T-MobileUS HTC One S
[HTC One S] TechieGeek:
Sorry, I still don't know what "RUU" means. I've seen it for a long time and I just assumed it was a stock ROM released from the manufacturer.

How did you get that new baseband onto your phone?

I think that the only way I'd be able to do it is to go onto the stock rom by following the instructions on this thread, then run the OTA updater. Am I correct?

If so, I'll do it!

Edit: Whoops, I noticed there's a new method for baseband flashing here. Do you think I could flash an EU radio and still get the 42mbps theoretical connection to T-Mobile? Or should I just go with te "older" method and get the latest US radio?

Edit2: All the radios available for download are 0.16________ versions. How is yours 1.06s.50_______?
[HTC One S] fmedrano1977:
You can find the radios here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?3aprnn9qlu3jg#myfiles

If you have TWRP recovery installed, you can flash the zip through recovery. It only works if you have HBOOT 1.13 and lower.

An RUU is an exe. file that you run on computer and it installs everything, rom and firmware.

Anyone here actually receive their $40 bonus yet? Just hoping I'm not messing anything up flashing all these roms. I did get the initial $10 and have spent it all, just wondering how long until I get the extra $40.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eddiepapi:
I did within the first week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ascertion:
Sprints supposed to send it when you have the phone after a month. Not sure how the above poster got it already.

Let us know what they say...I've had mine the friday before the nexus hit stores and I have yet to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rican408:
i got mine the friday before release.... still no bonus? maybe only brand new activations? (used to have nexus s 4g with wallet)

the pre order email said something liek 4 weeks right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
No, it states that if you activate google wallet on a Galaxy Nexus for Sprint you will be credited. You are suppose to deactivate it on another device and reactivate it on the new one. I didn't activate mine until the GNexus was released for that purpose. The MEID is recorded and that's how Sprint knows you have activated it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malibu_23:
Got mine 4/20. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Still only have the 10 bux. I hope us early preorder-ers aren't screwed cuz we activated before 4/22 like the promo says.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssconceptz:
Edit: Sprint Rep = Clueless

Please disregard my last post, Sprint reps are sometimes clueless and gave me the Citi MasterCard number.

So I called up Money Network and they stated that after activation it will take up to 3 weeks as expected but some may get it sooner. There is no way to check and see but as long as you got the $10 and your account is active you will get it. If for some reason you don't get it within 3 weeks call up money network @ (855) 896-0693.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Western Wolf:
*RESOLVED*

I've already been here and seen that some users have been able to get files to show up in Windows by running SDrescan on their Galaxy Nexus, however this isn't working for me.

I'm trying to edit a specific file on my Galaxy Nexus with a .conf extension, but my Windows 7 PC cannot locate it on the internal storage.

Does anyone know a way to make all files show regardless of extension, or do I have to rename this file before I can edit it, and then name it back afterwards?

Running Android 4.0.4 CNA Rom on rooted Canadian Galaxy Nexus. Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Western Wolf:
*RESOLVED*

Turns out, even after running SDrescan, there is a delay. Solved by renaming the file on the phone and renaming it back, forcing a refresh.

[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
Just wondering what you guys are gonna do with your beloved evo after you have upgraded?

at the moment im looking into switching carriers to to lack of any cdma (at that sprint) towers in my area so my evo will be demoted to a voip phone using grooveip (actually it already has been so i can still use to to make calls) and keep my google voice intergration to have texts still come through. and other than that it will be a glorified mp3 player with its 32gb of storage :).

so is it gonna be a paper weight or how are you gonna repurpose it
[EVO 4G General] dvtmg704:
I will put it in a frame and hang it up in the living room LOL
[EVO 4G General] alaman68:
donate it to a dev in EVO forum.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
I will be adopting mine into a new and loving family, where I believe it will continue a long and happy life, flashing and re-flashing and getting new mods... *sigh* they grow up so fast...
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Since my wife will continue to use her OG, I'll be keeping mine as a backup.

In fact, I probably won't even be using my new LTE device at all until after LTE rolls out in my area. Since I have such good 4G where I live and travel, I think I'll just continue to keep my OG activated, and use the LTEVO as a Wi-Fi only device until I can get LTE on it. And hopefully, until it's fully unlockable.
[EVO 4G General] JDM Civic EG8:
I'm actually looking at doing the same thing since i'm going to be moving back to an area that sprint basically doesn't exist.I have been checking out Verizon phones but haven't found one that I would be 100% happy with. So idk what i'm going to do. And the Evo will still be used to flash roms and a media player (32GB SD FTW!)
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
Grooveip has been a savior lol sucks to be with out data when I'm out and about
[EVO 4G General] JDM Civic EG8:
I've never tried GrooveIP is that like Google Voice? Google Voice has saved me alot of times haha. Comes in handy when flashing roms too never have to back text or voicemail.
[EVO 4G General] atapia984:
Keeping it Just like I kept my G1 It is hiding around somewhere in this house
[EVO 4G General] jamieg71:
I had considered trading it in, but I decided I'm going to keep it for development purposes. I'm moving on to the LTEvo but can't imagine not having a ROM in the works for the OG. I think we are far from maxing out the potential of this device and it will remain a proving ground for up and coming developers. ;)
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
groove ip uses your google voice number as a real phone number. such as i have set up the full voice intergration with my number so as long as i have a data connection or roaming data when im out i will get a phone call and of course if i turn data off it will just revert back to the standard method of phone calls but as i said i have zero signal at the house so it allows calls over wifi like some gsm carriers can do and other things like skype and what not but without having to give a diff number out.

and thank god my evo loves your roms lol :p
[EVO 4G General] oodork123:
Well since I'm the most poorest guy on this site, it will take me 1yr to save up 300bucks for a new phone. I have no contract since my phone is og evo with boost mobile network. But if I have an upgrade I'll say use this as a play phone so I can still show off my phone.

these phones rock and have the specs to stay in use for years to come.
[EVO 4G General] carp532:

I will safely keep my Evo in its box; its a legacy device that I will cherish :)

yep with the use of groove ip that is for phone calls
[EVO 4G General] lacrossev:
I use it as a remote for all the computers in the house as well as an input device for my transformer when its hooked up to the tv. I also use it to monitor torrents, admin my mumble, ventrilo, and subsonic servers running off a linux box, so its just going to end up doing that full time now. Oh and it makes a great alarm clock.

Does Sprint charge you money for temporarily activating an old phone while you wait for a replacement?
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
they havent for me i have had to use my blackberry as a back up and popped into an online chat and gave them the numbers and reactivated my blackberry.... got a little to drunk and left my evo at a friends house on thanksgiving (was out of town and too drunk to drive back lol but needed my phonnnnneee :p)
[EVO 4G General] Concordium:
I'll be keeping my OG. I've got an Epic 4G that I use for jamming music and playing games. So my OG Evo will be repurposed as a wireless control for my computer rig, an external storage drive, an alarm clock, and as a means to remote into the various computers my family around Houston have so that I do not have to physically go to their house in order to fix their machines. It's basically going to be added to my arsenal of tech tools that I use when executing computer diagnostics and repairs.

The Evo is most definitely not dead at all. I still have countless uses for it. And once the next generation of superphones, after the LTEvo, comes out I will be putting my OG in my trophy rack and making my LTEvo my new diagnostic and monitoring tool. It is an amazing phone and deserves more than to just be placed in a box and forgotten about.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DestroytheNexus:
I've read something before about how Android phones are basically incapable of drawing straight diagonal lines. From using my Nexus S, it is true to an extent. If I slowly draw a straight line diagonally, the line will come out wavy and curved. If I draw the line in one quick stroke, the line will be more straight but still exhibits some waviness. Horizontal and vertical lines are nice and straight no matter if you draw them slow or fast. It only affects diagonals.

So is there any known way to fix this diagonal wavy line?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
The ICS system seems to show duplicates of my music files, I first noticed this using my long time player Poweramp where I would see 2 of each file - in the Poweramp folder manager I will see my music folder in several locations, specifically in 5 places:

/mnt/sdcard

/emmc

/mnt/

/sdcard

/mnt/emmc

Not sure why the PowerAmp file system shows my music files in all these locations (I have a 32GB external MicroSD), but it does, and then why doesn't it show 5 duplicate files in PowerAmp instead of just 2? I have tried deleting the music folders from some of these locations and have lost the music files in the other places, so they are all linked instead of being duplicates.

What's strange is that if I look at my file system using Root Explorer (or similar file manager), I don't see duplicates of my music files?

Whilst I can resolve this in Poweramp's music folder selection tool, it isn't the case with other music players.

Anyone got some ideas on how to resolve this as it's a royal PITA if let's say I wanted to try MIUI - the stock player doesn't have the same folder selection ability that PowerAmp does, so I see 2 of everything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nightshunter:
I've got the same problem, i changed to meridian player because it lets you select the folders that it gets your music from. I didn't have this problem with Passion, only on Docs when i updated the other day. The stock player worked when i wasn't using DSP manager but when i applied some effects everytime i tried to open the music app it just rebooted the phone. So if you run Docs ROM maybe reflash and disable DSP manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
quick question for anyone that has either travelled from Canada to the US or someone from the US using a Canadian (at least, telus/bell) galaxy nexus GSM...

I have a galaxy nexus from telus...as we know here in Canada, 2g on telus and bell doesn't exist as they had CDMA networks...but the galaxy nexus itself is pentaband GSM and works on almost all carriers worldwide...

i'm going to the US in a little while and i was wondering if 2g will work on my phone if i pop in a t-mobile prepaid sim...

(what i'm going to do is buy a prepaid sim for a buck and activate the daily plans...)

I know it should work on their "4g" plan, which is really HSPA+...so the same as ours...so i'm just wondering if the plans/bands will work on t-mobile? or just 4g? or both 2g and 4g?

thanks!
