[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bean:
To expand a bit on the above post:

I use a dual band Linksys (cisco) E3000 router running DD-WRT for dual band 2.4 Ghz (N+G) / 5 Ghz (N-Only) operation. 2.4 Ghz has much better penetration for low power/antenna devices (phones, tablets, etc). Speed is not usually an issue on these devices as you would not be transferring or streaming large files.

The downside to having N+G on is that performance of the whole network drops to barely above G speeds (54 mbps) when a G devices i connected. Backwards compatible? Yes. Ideal for speed? No

Hence the 5 Ghz operation on N only connected to high speed "real wireless devices." There is less interference on the spectrum but penetration is terrible; so brick houses, multistories, etc without proper antenna devices get poor signal (phones). Great for streaming or file sharing over wireless though - 720p? No problem.

If you are like me and have 10+ network devices on at a time that is a lot of traffic, especially on the limited G 2.4 Ghz channels with an already crowded spectrum of wifi area. Splitting the bandwidth was the best thing I ever did for network performance across all devices. Hardly anyone is using 5 Ghz right now and even when it becomes widely adopted (3+ years) there is a lot more channel (room) in the standard.

TL;DR: 2.4 Ghz is all around better for the phone. Buy a dual band router on sale, but leave the 5 Ghz on the phone off, it isn't worth it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Just wanted to drop my thoughts here...

First thought, Heck Yeah! I wondered why it was randomly deciding to eat my battery when sitting at home browsing on the couch with my phone. I didn't even realize this thing was capable of N. LOL Didn't really care to know at the time.

I have quite a bit of time working with N style wireless devices. In the place I lived before here, I had both of my home servers on different sides of the house. And being servers; sometimes they needed that massive bandwidth that N is capable of. But like was said previously; 5.0Ghz doesn't like walls too much. Just look at cordless phones in your house, most are either 2.4Ghz or now that Direct6.0 or whatever you want to call it. However, the 6.0 isn't that great for penetration either as the signal wavelength gets too choppy. 2.4Ghz is about as far as you want to go if it's a radio signal you're willing to drop through any physical barrier.

Now as for the discussion on N/G. Yes, almost every router to date that supports N, whether it be draft N, N150, N300 or whatever other determination they come up with; they must support G. A/B, not so much but usually radios today are integrated with G/B/A support either way. I've actually had people call me to find out why their laptops won't use their massive 50mb/s connections as well as their desktop simply to find that the laptop is using B or A to connect even though it's so close to the router.

As for these phones, I'm not sure if they are the same, but most of the "draft" N devices actually separated the bands from A/B/G and N as it was so "new". Cisco routers were the first to actually compile them together as I remember researching these for a school project in "Introduction to Routers" in college.

So, basically this could be entirely true, as our phones may have a single chip providing the entire 2.4Ghz bands and a secondary to simply run 5.0Ghz. I'm going to test my results here at home and see the differences but I can almost be 100% positive that it is true in this situation. Sounds like a fun experiment to try when in reach of my charging cord! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
Please share the results. It's the only thing I could think of causing random fast drains on wifi
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Starting at 81% at 3:45pm, no heat yet but browsing like a champ on 2.4GHz so far. Only 9% drain on my 3800mah battery
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I don't really understand how this would drain battery unless you leave wifi on all the time and let your phone hunt for signals. If you are connected to a 2.4ghz network you saying the phone is still hunting for a 5ghz signal while connected? I will try it since my home and work networks are both 2.4 but I have doubts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steddora:
Well, older n routers used a completely different radio for n than they did for g/b/a. Or phones may be the same way. My phone is only down to 54% now and i browsed for about two hours today and the rest of the time it was on standby awaiting me to fingerher glass some more. Tomorrow i will attempt a 5GHz day and see the results. As for now, it's time for some food and then House! Damn you ABC for ending my favorite television series!

I've had WiFi battery drain . On gingerbread o left my WiFi on all the time and had hardly any drain . Ill try the fix out and see if it works . Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] htcvividnoob:
Is it possible to install the HTC Car app from the One series line on the Vivid? Or is it dependent upon files from Sense 4.0 making it more complicated to port over?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] drewdatrip:
Generally there are many resource differences between sense applications from version to version. However some application like the sense 4 flip clock so it guess this would be possible if a development member was interested

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryhat:
My Incredible is in a bootloop. I have gone back to stock. The phone will work for a few minutes then just reboot non-stop. I did a factory reset and that did not help.

I can't keep the phone on long enough to do anything. The irony in all of this is that it started to do this 2 weeks after I became eligable for an upgrade...

Smells fishy...now I either wait for Incredible 4G or get the Rezound.

D@mn Verizon...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
Do you have a recovery on the phone still or did you get rid of it when returning to stock? I'm not sure I've heard of this before but if you post the status of your hboot that might be able to help someone help you.

and personally between the two I would go with the Incredible 4G but that's just me being loyal to HTC i guess.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryhat:
Recovery is gone/does not work. I'll post the HBOOT version later, don't have the phone atm.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
I know it sounds very round-about but you may need to flash CWM back on to the phone so you can flash unrevoked's s-on tool, I don't know for sure that this is what is causing the problem but you want s-on when you are in stock, especially if you plan on giving the phone to Verizon- if it has been messed with they won't want to handle it because they will say it is not their problem. (I have heard that Verizon has admitted to not checking very carefully, but it can't hurt to be careful yourself)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryhat:
How can I flash CWM if I can't keep the phone on for more than a minute?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobntaz1996:
sounds like your kinda having the same problem i am having. the difference is my is s-on. i can get to hboot but when i try to go to recovery from there it comes up with a bunch of errors. and mine just bootloops at the droid eye.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
that is a very valid point. It still can't hurt to try, I remember when I rooted my phone, it didn't take all that long to flash CWM.

You also might want to consider booting into safe mode to see if that keeps in on longer, I am copying and pasting these instructions from technipages.com because xda won't let me post links until they trust me more or something:

I apologize if you don't have any luck, but I am only trying to help :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binaryhat:
I'll try safe mode (should have) and see if that works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Does the phone shut off when your in hboot too? You need to do as sugested and flash cwm thru hboot, and then see if you can access recovery long enough to wipe everything in mounts and storrage except sd and emmc, then flash superuser, and a rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Whats your hboot and android version? Have you tried an ruu?

[HTC One X] umerio:
Hi people.

Just bought myself a HTC One X locked onto T-Mobile network.

I want to use it on Orange UK.

Anyone know if the SIM unlock codes are available?

Every site I go to advise me that the codes aren't available yet.

Is there another way of being able to use my orange SIM with the HTC One X?

Thanks
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
There are people selling the codes on Ebay, and there is a Tread (closed though) of people who have successfully used these services: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613613&highlight=unlock+code

Check ebay though as they are some for as cheap as £4.
[HTC One X] umerio:
Nice one gaiden, I'll give it a go.

Thanks for help.

A novice like me needs all that I can get!!
[HTC One X] umerio:
Aaaah, just realised why I'm struggling. Apparently the phone has to be at least one month old for IMEI to be registered on server. That means the waiting game...... :(
[HTC One X] edsib1:
Cant you just phone tMobile and ask them for a subsidy pin ?
[HTC One X] audiobookman:
ermmm tmobile and orange are the same company.... is the card being rejected out right?, i can switch between orange and tmobile with no problems with my tmobile card, and my wife has a locked wildfire s to tmobile that happily runs a orange card.
[HTC One X] hefonthefjords:
Yeah tmo and orange are now the same network. You shouldnt need to unlock for this.
[HTC One X] umerio:
That is the exact reason why I bought the phone, thinking Orange & T-Mobile have merged into one.

The thing is they share their network coverage but they are still two seperate companies.This was confirmed by Orange UK. And T-Mobile won't deal with me because I don't have an account with them.

So I need to find someone who does have one, or set one up (which I don't want to do).

All the official HTC Unlock sites don't seem to have code available and give me a refund straight away. I'm going to try a couple from EBay this morning to see if they're any better.
[HTC One X] n1kon:
T-Mobile will only unlock a handset that is registered to the account. I.e purchased with the number at the same time, as imei's are linked.
[HTC One X] antipesto93:
What method did you try ?

the ebay unlocking method worked fine for my t-mobile phone,
[HTC One X] deanfarnaby:
Unlock codes!?

Am I missing something,

If you flash an RUU rom surely that will unlock it?

I presume using Ebay Unlocking techniques also risk voiding warrenty?

[HTC One X] Digi421:
Flashing a custom ROM does NOT SIM unlock the phone. Unlike unlocking/rooting, SIM unlocking does not void your warranty.
[HTC One X] nickmgray:
I've used HTC SIM Unlock before and they always been to work. They have a money back guarantee as well. Never trust those unlockers on eBay. I've been scammed too many times. http://www.htcsimunlock.com/#oid=1096_1
[HTC One X] cosmicovertones:
Your other option could be to get a PAYG sim card and call them from that. They might unlock it for you as you would have an account with them then?
[HTC One X] umerio:
I never thought of that, ie, getting a PAYG SIM card. Should have done that! Anyways, after many unsuccessful attempts in getting the phone unlocked (the number of refunds I got on my Paypal, I had numerous security checks on my card!), I eventually got hold of the person I bought the phone off. He's kindly got in touch with T-Mobile UK, and for £15-32, they'll unlock it for me. It will take between 10-28 days, so I'm expecting it to come through some time this week at the earliest. I know it may be dear, but I also know they will be able to unlock it, as its their network.

Anyways, thanks for all the help guys!

I don't think there's anywhere that will allow you to pick your phone by serial number. Get the phone and if anything is wrong with it return it for a replacement. I'd recommend Amazon as they've the best return service.

You would not say that if you got my first handset. I had the yellow spot on mine and a few others in another forum has flickering issues with the Chinese handsets.
[HTC One X] thegregulator:
You can say the same thing about the Taiwanese models as well. It's a crapshoot as to whether or not you get a good phone from either country. We have no idea if Chinese or Taiwanese models are better because we're not privvy to HTC's returns records.

If you want one, order it from a reputable company and if it's defective, return it. It's as simple as that.
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
Well put it this way I'd rather get one made from Taiwan than CHina because China has bad QC compared to others.

I've been reading more chinese handsets having issues comapred to the ones made in Taiwan.

And I've read more Taiwanese models have had issues, therefore Taiwan must have crappier QC...

This is my point. It doesn't matter what you've read, because there's always going to be another thread saying the other model is worse. The best the OP can do is order one from a reputable website and return it if it's defective.

I don't agree sorry because everything that is made from china is just poor quality. You are entitled to your opinion. I know if I had a choice I would rather get a product made in Taiwan or Singapore over the ones made in China.

You are entitled to your own opinion as well, but saying "everything made from china is just poor quality" is an asinine statement.

Hello, I have an SGS2, running stock ICS ROM LP7 with matching CF-Root kernel.

How I can get into an adb shell when booting to CWM recovery?

I tried doing this and I get an "Unknown USB Device" when plugging in the phone to USB port.

I'm running Windows 7 SP1 x64 with latest Samsung drivers. I tried in a x86 Win7 machine with same result.

I have USB Debugging enabled, adb shell works fine when booting normally.

Phone USB settings are as default, MTP mode. I'm reading about changing it back to MSC mode, would that make any difference?

Is it a kernel / CWM issue?

Notice the Unknown USB device only shows up in recovery mode, not in normal mode (so IMO its definitely not a physical USB link problem neither a driver problem).

Any ideas?

I can mount and unmount in the normal settings of the device and see it in root explorer but thats it. Its formatted to fat32. also on rom manager where it says to install from sdcard it only takes u to the internal sdcard which makes no sense because i was told u cant install a rom from the internal sdcard.

yeah

I am in the exact same situation. I am rooted on 4.0.3 and I wanted to install 4.0.4 or one of the custom ROM's. This is not my first android device but I am at a loss. I can not enter fastboot, can't load anything from the SD card in CWM recovery (get the message E:Can't mount /sdcard/), can not connect via ADB on my PC.

I feel that I have enough skill to do all of this because I have done it in the past. My ADB works fine with my Galaxy Nexus (just updated that and installed new kernel) so I don't know what is causing the problem. I have tried different SD cards(3) as well and nothing.

The biggest problem is I can not get into fastboot and SBF if I wanted to. I have been having issues with drivers even though I have installed motohelper like 6 million times.

I have tried factory resets and wipes and everything. I tried to do the factory update that is being pushed to me and I get an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
If you are using CWM recovery from Rom Manager (not recommended for Xoom) it does only read your internal flash memory (called sdcard) but not your external microsd card (called external1???). So you need to flash a different custom recovery using adb/fastboot to flash a recovery.image file or, if you can flash through cwm (from internal sdcard) a recovery.zip file (either EOS or Rogue, depending on the ROM you will flash afterwards), Actually, any custom recovery is supposed to work for any rom, but in reality Eos works best for Eos and Rogue works best for the CM9 Kang.

Please, just remember, never flash a .zip file through fastboot, only an .image file!
