[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
Dude, Sprint is forcing me to stay with them by contract. I still have roughly 1.5 years under contract with them. I got my first smartphone with Verizon. 3G, was in fact, 3G. I was puzzled when I went to Sprint and their signals were so weak. I'm sorry but I seem to be wasting my time telling you about my problems. Because you seem to be a Sprint minion. Maybe not, but I feel anyone that is on the side of Sprint is against me. I guess I feel like Sprint should charge users that have such terrible signals less than users that live in a signal-rich environment. I only ask for what I'm paying for. To switch now would cost me several hundred dollars. You've heard of this concept called "fair"? Well I don't think it's "fair" to have to pay the same fees as users who are getting exactly what they pay for. Would you think it was "fair" to be under a lunch contract where you and others paid for the same sandwich, but others got their sandwich piled high but you only got a skimpy sandwich? I don't think so. Fair is fair. And people like me are not being fairly treated.

robbyr,

If you think WE can figure that out don't you think a lawyer can bring that out too? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I agree with you but a class action would likely never never fly in court since they guarantee nothing. I was on Tmobile for years before Sprint and their signal and speeds were rock solid. But boy meets girl and girl wants boy on family plan so Im on Sprint for the last 2+ years and the last 6 months have been the worst. My city is getting their network vision update now so I hope thats the problem. In the meantime when my signal is poo I update profile and it picks up a bit. I shouldn't have to do this though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akamara13:
If you have horrible service, get an Airave in your house. It'll be like a tower in your living room or wherever you have your high speed modem, if you gave one.

And just because someone doesn't want to jump on Sprint and their speeds doesn't mean that they're against you, it's just that they're willing to deal with the situation for now. Besides this is all temporary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TripleAgent:
All a class action suit will do is make Sprint poorer, make the lawyers rich, and likely change nothing. And you might get a check for 3 dollars or so...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] veritasaequita:
been down that road, for most people its more headaches than anything. and anyone who says it isn't just didn't realize they sometimes miss a text or call. plus if they don't give it to u free then u gotta pay for it and its not expensive but not at all cheap. in all honesty it helps your signal so ur not dropping calls but it really isn't doing anything for speed issues, it bumped my 3g speed from about 350kbps to about to about 650kbps..almost like turbo for 3g lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lickarock:
Where are you getting that you pay "at least 30$ a month for 4g data". The only additional data charge there is is on all smartphones, and it's only 10 bucks more a month than if you had data on a flip phone. And that 10$ is on all smartphones, so it wouldn't matter if you bought the new EVO LTE or the basic Motorola XPRT, you are paying the same price. There is no additional charge for 4g.

As to your statement "Once people start dropping Sprint due to their pathetic data speeds, they may upgrade their service."... Sprint is fixing the network. Without people dropping. Read here:

http://newsroom.sprint.com/press_kits.cfm?presskit_id=19

A little snippet I would like to point out: "Sprint expects its 4G coverage footprint to cover 250 million people when the build-out is completed by the end of 2013"

Sprint is working an intensely aggressive schedule to rebuild the ENTIRE NETWORK in 3 years, increasing 3g data coverage, and putting LTE everywhere 3g is. Major cities are first on the docket, but it will increase the network signal pretty much everywhere.

My last suggestion is to read through your TOS at some point. They do not guarantee or promise 3g or 4g data anywhere, and do state that it is subject to availability in your area.

I am tired of seeing this thread pop up over and over again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
You signed a contract giving up the right to seek class action status when you agreed to the ToS.

You can remedy your situation (according to contract) by arbitration, small claims, or complaining to regulators.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
You were puzzled to see Sprint's weak signals yet you stayed with them? You had 15 days to test the network and decide if you wanted to stay or not. You and only you made that decision to stay with Sprint and sign the 2 year deal and now you are *****ing about it? I have no sympathy for you nor should anybody else.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
lickarock,

I am tired of seeing this thread pop up over and over again.

Why do you constantly read it?

tgruendler,

I'm sorry, no one asked you for sympathy...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
akamara13,

What exactly do you mean all this is temporary?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ojones838:
I didn't have 15 days to test the network. As you can see, I get to Sprint through Credomobile. Also I didn't SIGN a 2 year deal as all my account dealings were done over the 'net. Also since when does anyone not experiment with a new device and just give up without trying to get it to work within 2 weeks? Even most stores give you 30 days. Whew! Just blowing off steam. No need to reply to this...:rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ralphie1:
Ojones 838 have you thought about putting a verison prl on your phone all that roaming and sprint will ask you to leave and prodadly no etf.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daryelv:
I'm not saying you're wrong lickarock, I'm saying Sprint's data in the article you posted is a pipedream. I have to say "BS" on the 250 million number. That would mean that 75%+ of users would have 4G LTE coverage. Right now, Sprint doesn't even cover 75% of the users with good 3G coverage. Sprint's maps lie. I live in an "excellent" 3G area according to Sprint and get very very slow data or no data on Sprint's network.

I didn't have the option to "try" for 14 days either since I bought my phone in a different state and had it for 2 months before moving to CA. I've called several times saying "I've moved, and now my coverage is non-existent, please cancel my contract or replace my phone with one that will get a signal." Their response is "our maps show that you live in an excellent... blah blah blah". They don't care that phone calls just go to voicemail. I know of at least 7 people that have dropped Sprint and gone to AT&T or T-mobile when asking me about service and network in this area (friends and family bring their phones to me to root). Sprint is not just losing me as a customer, I'm taking another dozen or so (eventually) with me to other carriers.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KCRic:
ojones838 - I feel your pain on this, I really do. That said, a class action lawsuit isn't the way to go. Lawyers aren't the way to go for that matter. Just do what was posted above me. Use an alternate PRL and roam like no other. Sprint will kick you off without an ETF and you can switch carriers.

I too should have left within the 15 days but like a lot of others I didn't. The speeds were kind of ok in the beginning and I figured they would get better as Sprint upgraded their towers. That didn't happen. I'd heard even before switching to Sprint that the speeds were crap but I thought "really, how bad can they honestly be". Boy was I wrong...

So now I'm stuck paying for data that I don't have (thank you false advertising) unless I turn on WiMax "4G" and even that is slower than EVERY other carriers 3G. Sprint advertised specific speeds - which I've yet to see. So use another PRL and get out of the contract. That's what I'm doing at least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] luckychef28:
I agree with those who say 'Switch your PRL'. Swap out to one of the Verizon PRLs and within a couple of months Sprint will send you a warning letter to stop or be dropped. Keep it going for another month and they should shut off your service, ETF free. If your phone is in good condition put it on eBay (selling around $250, more with accessories) and you'll cover the cost of, say, a brand spankin' new Galaxy S3 on another carrier.

As for the unlimited data, in this day and age how often are you not connected to wifi? I have an Airave at home, but that's just for my phone signal, data at home and work is from internet. I drive 1.5 hours (combined) to work 4 days a week, streaming Pandora the entire time, and probably another 5 hours running around town through the week; I do a little net surfing while out, maybe a few videos. In all, I average 2.5-3 GB of data a month. AT&T offers a 3GB plan, Verizon a 5GB, which would serve my needs fine. AT&T's cost would be about the same, while Verizon's would be a bit more, but their coverage is far superior, especially here in Western Mass. Look at your usage summary and see how much data you actually use month to month. Most people have little need for "unlimited" data.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
Oh..I am going to have to reply...sorry.

Never even heard of CredoMobile. Checked out their site though and the first thing I saw was "No Contract for the first 30 days". Do you even have a contract with Sprint? I don't understand how you got to Sprint from CredoMobile?

How did I miss this one? :mad:

This will turn into an infraction haven I'm afraid. Might be better if asking this somewhere else.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
Using Java Reflection with Eclipse ADT to Access Internal/Hidden API classes.

Purpose

We present a way to access all the Internal and Hidden Java packages/classes

in the AOS. To do this we need to both repackage the Android.jar and hack the

Eclipse ADT plugin, to allow using these internal packages.

Posting

==================================================

Do NOT post general questions/requests on how to

do this or that, they will not be answered here.

DO post if you have additional tricks, hacks or

information that can help/benefit this tutorial.

==================================================

Background

There are two reasons one cannot use internal packages. One reason is that, if

you're using Eclipse as your development platform, those packages are

internally blocked in the Eclipse ADT plugin. Second reason is that the normal

development android.jar runtime does not contain those *.class files that

belong to the internal packages.

"There is no easy way to use com.android.internal package (internal API) or

anything marked with @hide attribute (hidden API) without using reflection.

That’s because android.jar file does not contain classes from internal and

hidden API and because of this nobody can reference those classes in compile

time."

Thus we need to first restore the "original" android.jar which will allow us

to use internal and hidden APIs. But the runtime equivalent of Android SDK’s

android.jar file is framework.jar. This file is located in the

/system/framework/ directory of your device. We will extract and use this for

our pleasure.

The general procedure:

A) Grab the "full" framwork.jar from your device

B) extract the class files

C) add them to "full" android.jar ??

D) Hack the Eclipse ADT plugin jar.

Finally, NOTHING would have been possible without the excellent step-by-step

instructions on the devmaze-blog by senior Android developer Ievgenii Nazaruk

(aka. "inazaruk"). THANK YOU Ievgenii!

WIP! <here be dragons2>
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
For a project using internal package imports, see my thread:

"[TOOL][APP][WIP] Native AT Command Injector"

<here be more dragons>
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
Following the instructions in posts 1-2 above, may not always work. It is not known to me at this time, why it shouldn't. One theory is that it can have something to do with how Eclipse and Android.jar is packaging their files and the resulting sizes.

This was mentioned in this Stackoverflow post:

"Jar files: why does extracting then compression a jar file create a file of a different size to the original?"

Then reading the man pages for "jar" we can inform ourselves with:

[SIZE=2] c Creates a new archive file named jarfile (if f is specified) or to
standard output (if f and jarfile are omitted). Add to it the
files and directories specified by inputfiles.

u Updates an existing file jarfile (when f is specified) by adding
to it files and directories specified by inputfiles.

x Extracts files and directories from jarfile (if f is specified) or
standard input (if f and jarfile are omitted). If inputfiles is
specified, only those specified files and directories are
extracted. Otherwise, all files and directories are extracted.

t Lists the table of contents from jarfile (if f is specified) or
standard input (if f and jarfile are omitted). If inputfiles is
specified, only those specified files and directories are listed.
Otherwise, all files and directories are listed.

i Generate index information for the specified jarfile and its
dependent jar files.
[/SIZE]

pack200 Reference Page @

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/share/pack200.html

Another theory is that it may have something to do with what seem to be, that Google have revoked the the use of MODIFY_PHONE_STATE since Android 2.3, and that this influences the Eclipse behavior, when using and modifying older android.jar's. This was mentioned here and here.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

3. use the command: fastboot erase cache is getting up with a FAILED error. Just failed. No code.

After that the phone hangs and needs to be reset.

Any suggestions?

Try flashing the boot.img first, then flasing the .zip in recovery and erase cache afterwards.

I have been following XDA from a long time and have seen a general trend in the development section

There are many teams working on Galaxy Ace and thats amazing but i see they have fights

Why cant all teams be one huge and efficient team !!

I mean why not GalaxyICS,TeamCooper,Team Adreno Ace,Myth Team,Team Frozen Ace,TeamDEvice,Team CooperGT,Team Thunderbolt

And all other teams collaborate and forget their previous fights and hatred

I mean we are born to love and unite not hate and be alone

Also when you all guys unite there will also be ultimate roms for Galaxy Ace and other many devices :-)

I think all people would love it but there is a 1% chance of this being approved so i am waiting for you guys now !!

And those wbo dont like this you may compare yourself to Hitler who would also not like this colloboration

UNITY = STRENGTH

DONT DESAPPOINT US GUYS!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
i definitely agree with you but its not possible practically :D u know , ego n stuff ;)

anyways from what i know TC is a 20 member team , galaxyics is some 4-6 member team, thunderbolt ( where is this team ?:confused: ) is some 10 member team ...that alone makes it 34-36 members in one team :eek::eek: so .....:p

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rush25:
+1 to the OP Team Adreno Ace and Team Frozen Ace are now working under a common name TeamAdreno

Team Adreno Ace+Team Frozen Ace :- Team Adreno

Ontopic :-

Even i would love that personally bcoz when we grow so does our experience and knowledge !!while prior in team adrneno ace i just knew how to theme apks but after colloborating with frozen ace i know much about kernels and scripts too ;)

As a member of Team Adreno i wold also like to cooloborate :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
The best thing to happen to this community would be :

TA + GICS = AOKP+AOSP+CM9 ALLTOGETHER :)

This would be even better

TA + GICS + TC = AOKP+AOSP+CM9+MIUI4 ALLTOGETHER :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:
That pretty much sums up everything :p

I am talking only on the ICS front of things..

The customisation of AOKP and the pure AOSP combined with CM9 would be perfect :D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] rush25:
MIUI 4 is also ICS :P
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] K.A.:

if this happens i have hopes of running Jelly Bean on my Ace :D;)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mimi1305:
