Hey everyone !

Finally became a member after so much reading day after day for updates for months n months! lol... I finally got fed up with hiding in the corner to make a call...so i called sprint and they offered me a early upgrade to an LTE device. Ive only had this phone for about 4 months so its very tempting. Its funny because its not only sprint.. its att,tmobile,metro,verizon... zero signal in my house.....:rolleyes: but walk next door house or in the middle of the street i get full bars ...4g 3g all kinds of gs.t What does everyone think go or no go? I love this phone I can do everything that I can think of without of a need of almost any particular electronic device except get signal.. lol:cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well if you are going to try another Sprint device, remember you only have 14 days to return it. I can't say that any has vastly superior signal strength but hey, you won't know if you don't try I guess. I thought my ET4G was flawless at home in California but when I get into NYC, the low signal performance is actually irritating the hell out of me. I have been using my NS4G in the city lately
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
You might be able to get an airave for free from sprint. It's like your own mini cell tower for your home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
@JohnCorleone Well I kinda have to since its either that or pay the cancellation fee. First two weeks it was fine few times it roamed.. but I thought it was because of the weather since it was pretty bad during that time. Sprint does have the best price though for now... kinda scared of the whole new TEP prices people were talking about. Is there a huge difference between phones for you as far as signal for you in nyc?

@Sn1per 117 They told me about that but first 3 reps wanted to charge me for the device and the service and said there was no other choice but to pay cancellation or just wait for "upgrades" since my phone was multiband it was capable of the new lte... that's when i hanged up and called again lol. Finally i spoke to someone in spanish and he told me he would approve me for an early upgrade just to go to a corporate store since it could only be done in store It's a upgrade program they're trying out in select cities and I would only have to pay $55
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
New York is insane! I can walk 10 feet and have 10Mbps 4g then walk another 10 feet and have 1 bar of 3g. In California I always have 8-10Mbps 4g. My phone gets these strange menu pop ups and soft key freezes when I go from 1 bar to none at work. It comes right back but still...it shouldn't happen ever
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
haha ! exactly what I'm experiencing right now! well for the past 4 months. So aggravating knowing that there's such great power just feet away..Outside..In the middle of the yard... I topped it out at 12 in 4g and 2.9 in 3g so i know the phone knows whats it doing when it gets signal. :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
true, mine just seemed to be a broken mini cell tower that caused more issues than b4 i recieved it. but ive read some people have had great results with them. either way a good suggestion.

sent from my BMF-D710
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasoo:
To OP what exactly did u say before thy gave u an upgrade? How many times did u call before they offered?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mavd5831:
New York cell signal blows so hard lol. I get the same as the OP. In my room I get 1 MAYBE 2 bars...I step right out of my door and into the living room....full signal >_> wtf?

Also the city sucks really bad lol. I've never really blamed sprint for it. Must be hard as fk to get signal through these monstrous buildings to begin with lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah but one thing kills me...actually 2. When I am in a lower level of Port Authority EVERYBODY seems to be using their phone and I have trouble keeping signal. And does every woman in New York have an iPhone or what? I see at least 20 iPhones to every Android...and at least 2 women a day drop their iPhone. Its a given
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Afteraffekt:
He was offered the Buyout option. He just bought out the remainder of his contract for early upgrade. This is fairly common, we do it in store daily. Contract end date is the same, just upgrade was pushed forward.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
LOL, yea its pretty bad out there but its a bandwagon thing since half the women I know that have the IPhone have no idea why they have it other than one of their other friends have it.

Must admit where my house is in Long Island the main streets is lit up with wifi and if you have a cable account you can connect for free but the 4g speeds are pretty consistent throughout even in basements I picked up 10meg download. So those damn old/tall buildings are definitely messing your great signal up

Edit: my bad OP keep slapping them up till they give you an AirRave I got one and it works great. Also only upgrade if you think it will help your signal and LTE for Sprint is not officially out so not sure if one of those new phones would really help you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Sounds like a great setup you have going there in Long Island!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Hey I was as shocked as you were to discover this myself.... LOL

Problem is I am in Florida now where I have to struggle to get 3g...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, I can't wait to get back to my California signal strength but New York is a great place as well. I may extend my stay a month or two. I bet summer in the city can be some fun! I want to catch some basketball at the Rucker and meet some ladies.. there are a grip of them in New York! Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
OP: Is your house made out of lead?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Now you talking... ahhhh Harlem/Spanish Harlem how I miss thee.... I am in a state where every other woman looks like a model but damn there is something about the attitude of a NY woman --- My bad got sidetracked **quick back on topic**

Yea OP ahhhhhh get an AirRave yes thats it.....**Papayas, Rays Pizza, Dallas BBQ's** oh my bad....:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
I actually called 4times and they said its a limited offer in select lte cities dfw happens to be one of them. Its so tempting but I know it won't change much in my voice service.

And sorry everyone I worked a double shift.

N yes I probably do nobody likes my house cause they can't continue there addiction to facebook since there's no signal lol.

My friend actually brought me his extra air rave that they sent to him to use it works but now it sends the txt about a million+1 times. :/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chasoo:
I beat ya! On my first call, I got the buyout option.

:p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
Hahah so r u going for it? Only have a week left to decide

El Evo.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
I really didnt want to revive this thread but I finally got my EVO 2 days ago at Walmart . I was eligible for a full upgrade without a buy up or buy out. Guess what.... I have signal now at home!!!!! 3-4 bars now where I couldn't even roam! Plus the ability even to surf while on the phone! Just waiting to see the official LTE since there's an antenna supposedly that will cover my area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
I was just able to upgrade as well. I had to call twice, but the second rep let me use the air rave upgrade for a phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nzaw4:
how....?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] afinch1992:
I'm in dfw area as well. I'm actually working on the lte rollout for an undisclosed supplier. So all I have to say is I have bad signal everywhere in my house and would like a buyout?

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

Who did you call by the way?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
I just dialed *2 and spoke to them about the issue of no signal at all. They offered me the air rave but the rep told me I had to pay for the air rave n service for it. I kinda got pissed and replied why do I have to pay you more just to get service in my own home?!! Then they offered me the air rave for free but still with a monthly fee so I kept on getting frustrated with the rep. He finally transferred me to account services aka retention after I mention switching just to avoid the nonsense. Retention then asked me if that was the only reason for me to leave. I replied yes I can do anything with my phone buttttttttt get signal. Then that offer was given to me to be able to upgrade since the new LTE would be available.

Oh btw as of June 1 I read its going to be hard to get transfered to account services since they were handling a lot of the calls that reps didn't want to deal with.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aimbdd:
I tried it that way and they said no haha. I really don't etc any signal at home or work though with this phone... it sucks. I just got lucky with the rep I got that let me use the air rave upgrade.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] afinch1992:
gave it a shot and got to account services. She denied they even have a program to buy out and said have a good weekend. Oh well.. It was worth a shot. The regular customer service rep offered the airrave, but i use my phone for internet right now, so I would have no use
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
Seems they are getting tougher to get through putting their foot Down..:/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourm0m1:
sorry im late to the thread...but do you have and use wifi (nothing to do with your phone), how is it?? just a thought of something interfering signals in your home since the original post stated walking outside.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gmangut:
Actually I think its because I'm in the middle of two outer ranges of antennas. Most antennas split for companies here since surrounding cities corner my home meaning I'm less than 2 mins away from 4 cities LOL.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Hi,

Are there any tweaks that can be applied to the HTC Sense camera's media_profile.xml to increase image and video quality?

I found a modified stock camera app that changes this file but it's not designed for the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
If you take the media_profile.xml from the modified non-Evo camera app and the stock camera app and diff them, what are the differences? This will give you a staring point for modification, you'll just need to make sure that the values are compatible.

Also, you can increase quality of image/video capture through build.prop modifications:

Example:

ro.media.enc.hprof.file.format=mp4
ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.vid=m4v
ro.media.enc.hprof.codec.aud=amrnb
ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.width=720

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xNotta:
Thank you for the response!

First, that build.prop list is awesome. I have been messing around with tweaks to it and that's a very nice comprehensive list.

I just checked the diffs, can I add new "EncoderProfile"'s?

like:

<EncoderProfile quality="1080p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">
<Video codec="h264"
bitRate="40000000"
width="1920"
height="1080"
frameRate="20" />
<Audio codec="aac"
bitRate="96000"

sampleRate="48000"
channels="1" />
</EncoderProfile>

How would I find out which codecs the evo is able to use?

Can the Evo use all of the following?

Video: h264, h263, m4v... Audio: aac, amrwb, amrnb

I am pretty sure it can use the italicized codecs.

Im going to mess around with the values now that I have something to go by.

Thank you. :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayn0de:
You can always try it out and see what happens... I've never messed with much outside the framework and SystemUI, personally.

Codecs are noted in build.prop:

ro.media.enc.vid.codec=m4v,h263,h264
ro.media.enc.aud.codec=amrnb

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Quick question -

I have a rooted HTC DesireHD & sometimes I'd like to use the 'Auto brightness' feature - especially if moving indoors/outdoors quite regularly.

However I've noticed that the screen brightness seems a little 'too' bright compared to how I usually have it (indoors I usually have it ~12%, outdoors ~90%) - In 'auto mode' the 'indoors' seem to be about 20-25%

I pretty sure that there is a way to telling the Android system the level to have the screen depending on how much light the light sensor picks up - but I think that involves editing certain files & 'ADB' command etc (which I'm not totally confident I could do)

Does any1 know of an App (preferably free) that shows the current light level picked up by the phone & the brightness level that's been currently used, which also allows you to alter (& save) a lower value for that light level (perhaps with a slider or value box ??)

Thanks in advance
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cannon_Foddr:
Well despite 130 views - seems like no-one has any suggestions :p

Anyway, I persevered with Google play search & it seems I may've found a couple possibilities (Avaliable as 'free' and 'paid for') so I thought I'll post them here in case any1 else wants them

There's Custom Auto Brightness (free) here

AND

Lux Auto Brightness here (Lux has paid version that allows even darker levels of screen display)

I've tried out 'Custom Auto Level' but either I was doing something wrong, but on occasions it would'nt dim the screen in bright light (I tested by shining a torch onto the sensor), however I'm currently trying out the LUX [Free] version to see if it'll do the job

(Took a while to actually figure out that you had to use the 'Link' option to actually SET the brightness of screen to Level of light detected :confused:)
