What would that matter I have full signal that's only if I don't have a good signal I'm pretty sure

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you still need to call sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkeller96:
Okay I will I'm rooted on stock rom with latest radios and a different kernel that I just flashed could the kernel be causing slow speeds?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
It does matter, especially considering the building. At the local college data works fine outside but step 15 feet in the door and even though it says you have signal, data is sloooow. Also you are saying you have "full signal" or "x many bars" but that is for phone calls not data, right? All that said, you are correct that your speeds *should be* faster than that on 3G. But I know if I had a Sprint phone in my area those would be about the speeds I would expect, not sure where you live or what kind of reception Sprint gets there, but there is not much Sprint in my neck of the woods. Is this your first Sprint phone or have you had one before to compare the speed to?

Its more likely that the radio would be the culprit.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
i mean the upload is pretty bad, but those download speeds are completely normal for Sprint. Compare next to another device to see what's normal for that particular place. You can always go into a Sprint store and compare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
My friend's new sprint nexus is doing the same thing. He gets horrible speeds.

Is it possible to lock the screen but keep it on? This is because the WiFi always loses connection when the screen is off. I have tried every app there is to keep the WiFi fully awake when the screen is off but none of them work.
[HTC Wildfire S] Molleresa:
Settings > Wifi > Menu > Advanced > Wifi policy, You've tried that?
[HTC Wildfire S] vpwrf:
Yes. I have tried that.
[HTC Wildfire S] balakrishnan111:
Did u tried "no lock" apps from market, try that
[HTC Wildfire S] vpwrf:
"No lock" apps are not what I am looking for. I need it locked so I don't keep knocking things and the screen kept on or to find a way to disable the stupid WiFi sleep thing so it runs at full power even when the screen off. Is there a way to do this?
[HTC Wildfire S] vpwrf:
I have searched and found something that could disable the WiFi power saver at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16519177#post16519177 . Can someone check this and get it working on the HTC Wildfire S kernel version 2.6.35.10-ga66971c and 2.3.5 stock ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
So I had my nexus for a few weeks like Google wallet so far and last week finally decide to root my phone I didn't read anything bad about flashing different roms and Google wallet till recently... I have flash 4 different roms and I have not problems using it and I have backup and no wipe the settings of my Google wallet in my falshed roms?...

My question is should I start clearing my setting on Google wallet before flashing a new rom? Or is fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thos25:
Better safe than sorry. Start wiping I would say.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorDarko:
I keep getting stuck in the screen of DoomKernel when i reset the device. I follow this steps:

1) Install TFT .62

2) Download via market CWM w/wifi

3) Instal DoomKernel v14 (with root permissions)

4) Reboot and CWM

5) Factory reset

6) Install JokaWild v3

7) Install Wifi Modules

8) Reboot

I dont know what im doing wrong :( i only have doomkernel v14 right now cuz jokawild refuse to be installed. Just keep getting stuck in the Doomkernel screen.

Anyone can help me? thanks :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTU_Loscombe:
Did you wipe the Dalvik cache as well?

It's under Advanced in CWM if you didn't
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LorDarko:
i already try that but is still with the same error, another solution plz?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solomon4400:
k your second step doesnt make any sense to me.

1. flash 62 ftf. let the phone boot completely

2. flash doom v14 and let phone boot completely(doom already has cwm so dont understand why you download from market)

3. now boot into cwm wipe data, wipe cache partition, and wipe dalvik cache.

4. then flash jokawildv3.zip or watever its called

5. DONT FLASH NOTHING ELSE FOR NOW. just let the phone boot completely.

6. then after you see everything is fine then you flash your modules and any other desired add-ons.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel_Nabs:
It takes a while to bootup on some roms; the first time. Also try re-downloading the rom/formatting your sd card - may be a file reading error... IF what soloman suggested doesn't work.
[HTC One S] Jahrern:
hey, i was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this on custom ROMs.

the fact that it doesnt give you "tips" on what facebook user go to this/that contact. tried 3 diferent roms and they never give me pairing contacts with facebook friends. have anyone of you guys noticed this?

and for some reason after i install ROMs the pictures on contacts dissapear and when i sync facebook with contacts, it wont add pictures no matter what i do. even when i pair them up myself
[HTC One S] cualla84:
Try the app "photo unlocker" to the photo. ;)
[HTC One S] dannyy2200:
It's never given me tips regardless of the ROM I'm using. And when I sync my contacts, I have to join them myself, FB connect to phone number. Half the time contacts force closes when joining. It can be frustrating. I tried an app called hacksync but it made a huge mess of everything. I uninstalled it, and uninstalled the official FB app. I use friend cast now and everything is cool. My pics show up in contacts and Tango syncs nicely. If I have to manually sync something, I don't get the force close anymore.
[HTC One S] Jahrern:
ill try those alternatives. i have my contacts synced to gmail, so if it screws it up it wont be such a hazzle. and "nice" to see that im not the only one having this problem
[HTC One S] Jahrern:
i found a way to do it, but its manual and takes ages. you have to sync all, then manually add theyre facebook to the contact. if say you have them linked and there is no picture, unlink them and add again. if there was a number to someone you didnt allready have in contacts and you didnt get a photo, link that facebook contact to a phone contact, but before you actually do that (before the accept screen) click not to confirm and back and it will pull the picture. its a tedious process, but it works. now i dont know if the pictures persist if you change the rom, but time will tell.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Tested this on my own device, was good for some significant speed in data transfer over wimax.

First, you will need your MSL number. Download MSL reader from market.

Once you have it, get your MSL using the app.

Open dialer and enter ##3282#

Select “Edit”

Enter MSL number

Select “Wimax”

Select “Realm”

Edit the info to say “sprintpcs.com”

Hit ok.

Top right of screen, select “menu”

Apply changes.

It will ask you to reboot. Reboot, and once booted, power off device completely and pull battery, sit for 30 seconds, put battery back in, reboot.

Succes

Enjoy :)

to clarify, virgin mobile IS sprint. the difference however, is one has greater network priority when it comes to data transfer speed. during peak usage times, vm devices will have a slower connection than people on sprint. this fixes that issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] curiousGeorge:
Thanks, will give it a shot.

edit: HOLY SMOKES!! Went from 3.5mbps to 10.1mbps in the default speed test! This is utterly fantastic! How the heck does this work??

My goodness, this is nothing short of magic. I'm going to be using this as my hotspot from now on. Just downloaded an entire episode in seconds as a "real world" test. Utterly fantastic. Kudos to you!

Thanks cobraboy,I never flashed the vm firmware.all I did was flash latest viper ics Rom,and I was getting very high latency pings of around 300 to 400 and download speeds were about 5 to 8 mbps.I went ahead and edited the realm from (virginmobile.sprintpcs.com) to (sprintpcs.com) and this is what I'm getting now awesome.Thanks again.

i did this last night after i realized my 4G was running super slow. i posted the same instructions in myn's ics thread before you created this. didn't seem to entirely solve my speed issues. i'm running about half my normal speed.

anybody else still with sluggish performance?

It didn't break it your phone isn't recognizing the realm I don't know why but it seems like its a hit or miss...I used it and it cut my 4g in half but I re flashed the ROM I was using then updated my profile and it went back to virgin.sprint mess ironically I get great speeds that way so I might try the trick posted here again just to see if it will improve even more I saw some one with 14kb down!!! I want that but I'm in Houston so it might not be possible due to the size and people using the network...maybe my phone was skipping towers but your 4g isn't broken...

It'll require a bit of work, but if you have patience and manage to do it, you'll learn a lot in the process. Or you could request your ROM dev to add Hebrew to the ROM. I doubt both the English and Hebrew ROMs are the same build/version so you can't just copy files between them. About which file needs to be changed, it's all in the link.

Hey y'all.

Background:

Bought an HTC EVO 3D close to 6 months ago. First time droid user, no prior experience with Android (or even smartphones). Since then I have been reading and reading about rooting, making sure I understand it all. (Yeah, I am paranoid, so bare with me), and with the recent leak of ICS from HTC, I feel it's time I took the plunge to a rooted device.

Problem:

The vast vast vast amount of information available out there (especially here) is ridiculous, who would have thought there could be too much information, but it seems there is. And it's left me worried, with so many directions, I worry about taking the wrong one, worry that my device is suited to one rooting method, but not another. The list of my worries could go on.

I just need some directions, what rooting method would be best for me, what ROM is most akin to vanilla Android 4.0.x (AOKP maybe)

If any experience HTC EVO people out there could toss a link at me, taking you from step 1 to backing up, to the finals steps, that would be greatly appreciated!

My Phone:

HTC EVO 3D X515m (Bought in Europe)

SHOOTER-U PVT SKIP S-on RL

HBOOT 1.49.0018

eMMC-boot

Android 2.3.4

Sense 3.0

Software #1.20.401.8

[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Hello I was reading your post and if I understand correct you want to root your phone and in need of some direction well let's start here step one you will need to pay a visit to HTC dev and sign up and this is where you will unlock you bootloader and we will continue with step two once you've unlocked your bootloader but before you do that you will need to download the adb files and fastboot files you don't need to download it from hct unless you want all the SDK files because your only going to use 3 out of all that so I will send you a link to get all the files you need to get your EVO root
[HTC EVO 3D] Big_Den:
These instructions will unlock your bootloader, s-off the device and install a custom recovery. No need to go through htcdev.

1. Follow this guide to downgrade hboot from.18 to .07 (mine was a simfree/unlocked gsm version, so i started from step 4). http://tinyurl.com/7dhnmcu

2. Use this tool to s-off and install clockwork mod. http://revolutionary.io/

3. Then roms can be installed via clockwork mod and/or the stock rom can be rooted. see this http://tinyurl.com/5wjvc5p

Update:

- I've got an got myself onto HBOOT 1.49.0007

- I've gone and gotten S-OFF with Revolutionary.io and installed CWM v4.0.1.4.

This third step is confusing me a bit.

Wondered if'd you walk me through it a bit?

Especially this part -

'Move the recovery.img above to the same directory/folder/map as fastboot and navigate there with an open cmd prompt (WIN) or terminal (LINUX).'

Thanks.

I see a LOT of users step out this step entirely and, download Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed, drop on SD, book into recovery and flash.

Is there a difference?

Please advise before I carry on.

You've done the hardest part. Flash that file to root stock rom or alternatively flash a rom from the development section that will be pre-rooted and in most cases offer better performance. Have fun.

- I booted into recovery and made a backup.

- I went mount and storage > format system / format data / format cache.

- I then did a wipe data / factory reset

- The I went - install zip from sdcard > chose zip from sdcard > cm_shooter-ota-eng.joelz9614.zip

To which I am presented with:

If I reboot from here I get stuck on the blank white HTC screen.

- Mount and storage > format system / format data / format cache.

- Wipe data / factory reset

- I then went to backup and restore > backup

To which I got:

Backing up cache...

If I reboot from here I get stuck on the white HTC screen again.

[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Well you have nothing to boot into. Your erasing your boot,data,cache,etc then you went into backup and restore and backed up nothing because you erased everything. The rom you were trying to flash could have been a bad download so try to redownload it and flash again. If it fails again then you just have to flash a different rom after you format and wipe everything. If you want to restore a nandroid/backup then in backup and restore you have to choose "restore" and then choose which nandroid/backup that you want to restore. If you have made one or a few they will have dates on the folder.

[HTC EVO 3D] Big_Den:
First off it looks like you flashed a CDMA Rom. Choose a GSM Rom.

1. Boot into recovery

2. Wipe data

3. Wipe cache

4. Wipe Delvik cache (In advanced menu)

5. Flash the attached Super Wipe, It will reboot back into recovery once done.

6. Flash the GSM Rom

7. Repeat steps 3 & 4 then reboot.

8. Done.
