[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
you have to root your phone mate...thats the first step in liberating ur phone.

STOCK ROM usually has a lot of bloatware and Custom ROMs are slimmer by removing unnecessary apps....so you can go for a Custom ROM without worrying about bloatware.

I had suggested you a custom ROM and this does not have any issues with different BB or Kernel...only thing u have to keep in mind....use Kernel made for Stock ROMs.I am using a V20C Baseband with the DJ 1.5beta4 ROM which is based on V20S sources...check my signature and you will have more idea.I am using my own Kernel too.

for CM7/CM9, you can use any BB but the RIL has to be only from Froyo...means V10 series RIL.

Custom ROMs are mostly flashed using CWM. Updates- some of the ROMs are updated by ROM manager....but my opinion is to download and flash manually. Some of the ROMs do not use the OTA tool for updation(honestly....this is better)

IMPORTANTLY MY FRIEND, read through the opening posts from custom ROM and Stock Kernel threads....and use search....you will know more information.

Hope this helps.Thanks and take care

Sprint plans to debut the new LTE system by the end of the year, rolling it out to Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, and San Antonio.

The rest of the country will be reportedly covered by the end of 2014

, though company spokespeople have yet to confirm when and where it will launch until then.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
As long as its 800mhz I could care less whether its lte or wimax.

[HTC EVO 3D] woody296:
I'm not sure a speed test with no one else on it really means anything. It's the same as when everyone is drooling over the fact they can see a lte signal is available in their neighborhood but they can't connect to it. But they promise it will be live soon. Gosh, isn't there something they promised us that others can see but we can't get? What was that......Hmmm?
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
QFT!

Had WiMax used 800mhz it would've done so much better! I've said that for a while. I don't think there is anything wrong with WiMax aside from the frequency Sprint and Clear uses.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
LTE will be launched on the 1900 and eventually get to the 800. It will be on both depending on how far away you are from the tower. WiMAX will still have its own seperate tower and will still be 2.4Ghz
[HTC EVO 3D] runcool:
May I once again say that SPRINT DOES NOT HAVE A 4G NETWORK. They never have and they never will. If you want a 4G network... Go with Verizon wireless. 50+M down 12+M up.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Lol except now that there are many users on it that 50 down is more like 10. Similar to sprint
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
If you want to get technical, no one has a true 4G network. 4G standards are set at 100 mpbs while mobile and 1 gbps while stationary. Also, 50 mb down? Yea dude, in your dreams. My friends galaxy nexus normally gets around 10 mbps, and not much higher peak. Sprints new network will be very competitive with what Verizon and ATT offers, especially once they roll out LTE on the 800 mhz channel that iDEN is sucking up and when they partner it with clearwire's TDD-LTE network on 2500 mhz. Combined, they own more spectrum than any other carrier.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
By that logic, Sprint LTE is 40+M down and 10+M up. Once you get people on the network, it turns to 12down/4up on both networks. I doubt we'll see any major difference between Verizon's and sprint's speeds.

Don't believe me? Switch to Verizon and run a speedtest on their LTE. If it goes faster than 15mbps down, I'll eat my nuts.

And as another user also said, nobody has a real 4G network yet. LTE-Advanced will reach real 4G speeds of 1GB down/100mb up.
[HTC EVO 3D] kickyoace:
I must say that no carrier has a true by the definition 4g network by definition a 4g network has 100 mbps still down speed and only train cars really have that and some private networks but no cell carriers not even Verizon has that
[HTC EVO 3D] aweskelo:
Id be happy with 500k down right now damn. I consistently run 60k to 200k and I'm in a large metro area. Was rocking a 40k down for 6 months until recently. With that plus this ics wait sprint has lost me as a future customer. I'm rooting for sprint as a competitor, but I can't wait till Verizon gets a decent phone. Id rather have a consistent 1m+ down and pay more for it than this spotty crap.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
faster than rogers:D
[HTC EVO 3D] ncfastls1:
I'm patiently waiting for network vision to come to Raleigh NC, but I can't say that a bad ass Nexus device on Verizon later this year wouldn't make me switch. I'm loving unlimited data but I just might switch for being able to have the latest and greatest Nexus device when Sprint usually gets it months later. With a 2 GB plan, Verizon is the same price as Sprint for me but I would probably end up having to get a 4 GB plan since I use a bit more than 2 a month, but I would be willing to pay an extra 10 a month for an awesome phone and the incredible verizon 4G we have around here. I mean after all, I switched to Sprint because of the OG Evo.

[LG Nitro HD] sandhuxda:
I am looking to buy the Nitro HD for WiFi only use and maybe occasional prepaid use. I will flash to some deodexed ROM or maybe CM9 so I am not so concerned about software issues in the stock ROM.

What I am more concerned about is - how are the cameras for Skype/Google Video etc?

Any way to turn off all radios except WiFi by default everytime the phone starts up?

Thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] sandhuxda:
^^bump^^ :)
[LG Nitro HD] nbollinger:
I'll chime in here, I use mine as a wifi only device. As far as Skype/google video goes, video calls are great. I don't have a Sim card in mine and the mobile settings are greyed out which I'm assuming the cellular is off.

I'm currently running the latest cm9 nightlies and the device keeps getting better and better.

Battery life is definitely better than gingerbread. Battery life is within reason for a device this powerful while on wifi. The only battery drain I've found is being out of range of a wifi area. It seems the device goes on over drive looking for wifi and within an hour, majority of your battery is dead. This might be a CM9 issue, I'm not sure on that. Just remember to turn off your wifi when out and about.
[LG Nitro HD] sandhuxda:

The super screen is eye candy. Using wifi it will last for 5-7 hours, while using 3g only for 2-3 hours.

Obviously I don't really need the og transformer anymore and I like to mess around with tech stuff but if it is going to be useless I would rather just sell it. I should mention I know Linux pretty well (I use Arch) so that isn't a big issue.

I'm a user of AutoHotKey on my PC, and I love the little quirky scripts I can write to get rid of daily annoyances or do repetitive tasks.

I'm assuming Tasker is somewhat similar for Android. I've heard a bit about it, but because of the price-tag, never really indulged.

Who around here uses the app, can't live without it, etc?

What types of things do you rely on it for?

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] GuestK00145:
I really don't condone stealing, but find Tasker apk *hint* google*hint* test it out see does it meet your needs/wants and if you like purchase the legal app. :)
[Epic 4G General] signal34:
I use it for a profile switcher and to toggle between 3g/WiFi when I enter/leave the home or office (each has an Airave).

When we had the Time Without Signal problem and toggling Airplane Mode was the quick fix, I set Tasker to toggle whenever I booted the phone or took it off the charger.

My kids have some geo-fencing text reminders set up for them as well for when they leave school.

Here's a quick link to some of the different tasks you can set up. Some quick Googling and you can pretty much find the script for whatever you need. I love it because one app can handle the job of 5-10 different apps, although sometimes the scripting can be frustrating.

[Epic 4G General] haberda:
Tasker

I use tasker for quite a few things. First and foremost is my pattern lock. I hate putting it in all the time at home, so I have tasker disable the pattern lock when I'm on my own wifi. I still keep the slide unlock active because I like the shortcuts on the lock screen.

I also use it for music. So when I plug in a 3.5mm plug without a mic it starts my music player and sets the volume. It also disables the lock screen which is insecure but when I'm driving or running I don't want to mess with a lock screen. When I'm casually listening to music, I have a headset which has a mic attached. Tasker can differentiate and therefore starts up my music app and sets the volume to a non-earsplitting level. For this I leave the lock screen active.

Lets see, when I start any app that uses GPS it automatically activates the GPS and polls my position. I have it automatically manage the screen brightness depending on the time of day. I also have it go to airplane mode if the battery is <5%. If I'm feeling lazy I have it manage when my wifi is on based on location. I have several locations (home, work, coffee shop) that I typically connect while I'm there and turn off wifi when I leave. I don't always use this because it's not 100% reliable.

That's about all I use it for. I can post instructions if anyone is interested.
[Epic 4G General] MeetFace:
I went ahead and purchased the app. Pretty cool so far. I'm interested in the profiles you are using, it sounds like you know what you are doing.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Microsoft just introduced a similar app that's free. On{x} I think it's called.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
I used to have it set wifi based on network location, but that wasn't always reliable. I use it to set volume levels depending on time, so that way it turns the phone down for work, and then cranks it up after work. I generally always have it making noise on email and phone calls, because I don't always feel it vibrate.

One other neat one I use is to put it in vibrate mode whenever I place the device face down. That way when I'm in a meeting, I take out my phone and just put it face down on the conference table...instant mute. When I pick it up, the sound comes back on. Also handy for charging at night, I just put it face down for the night and everything gets silenced.

I also have a profile that activates based on time and location...so now I don't have to worry about the "loudest cellphone in the world" -- one that goes off in church! :angel:

Only limited by your imagination, I found a lot of good ideas on the tasker site.
[Epic 4G General] haberda:
Here's how I have some of my tasks setup. I made a profile that activates when wifi connected (state->net->wifi connected->fill in whatever you need) and then have two tasks associated with it that I called "keyguard off" and "keyguard on". Keyguard on is my exit task. For Keyguard off go to (display->keyguard->set off) repeat for keyguard on. If you want to have the slide unlock to stay on you have to use a plugin called secure settings. Otherwise it's a similar process you just navigate to "plugins" instead of "display". From there it takes you into secure settings app which is easy enough to figure out.

For the music stuff: I made a profile one for a 3.5mm with a mic and one without (new profile->state->hardware->headset plugged in). Then I made a task which is assigned to the one without a mic, set the keyguard off like above then go to app->load app->your music app of choice. Then set the volume audio->media volume->whatever volume you want. Add an exit task that reactivates the keyguard I just use my wifi task for this. Same process for the one with the mic except I have it go to a lower volume.

To use GPS you probably have to use that secure settings plugin again depending on the rom you are on (im on AOKP and have to use it). Make an new profile (application->choose all apps with gps that you want to trigger this). Make a task (plugin->secure settings->edit->gps->pick state) then add another (misc->get location). Make an exit task that disables gps.

Finally, for low battery make a profile (state->power->battery level->whatever level) and associated task (net->airplane mode->on) and an exit task which turns it off.

There's plenty more that tasker can do, hope this helps you figure it out a little. I mostly just bumbled around the app until I found some useful things plus their website is full of good ideas.
[Epic 4G General] amateurhack:
I hope everyone doesn't mind if I add another question to the thread.

I'm interested in using Tasker as well, but I'm concerned that the benefits of automation will cost me in battery life. How much has you battery life changed using tasker, if at all?
[Epic 4G General] matlk:
Well, you could use the Battery Monitor Widget from the play store (the one with all the graphs and stuff), and use it to see how much the app is using. I doubt it's a lot but I know that it is SOME. The more apps running (and updating/logging) in the background the more battery you are using. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong but, your phone has to "wake" every time an app needs to do something (update/log)
[Epic 4G General] technononsense:
It does use power but nothing extreme in my experience. If you're using it for setting basic sound profiles and the like it won't be noticable really. You should look at it the other way though, taskers power of automating stuff like knocking off wifi and data connections when you dont need them will probably save battery life.
[Epic 4G General] CogDancer:
For the record, you can download a fully functional week-long trial from the dev's website for free.

I do a fair amount with Tasker, but one thing that I haven't seen many other people do is enable/disable battery-draining apps in certain contexts.

For example, I have a power-saving profile that disables a set of apps and services that would otherwise run 24/7. I also use have a profile which lets me run and disable AirDroid in response to a Google Voice text, so I can manage my phone from my laptop without ever touching it.

On my Nook, even small wakelocks add up over time when the battery life would otherwise be measured in days, so I use Tasker to disable just about any app that likely to throw a wakelock while I'm not using the device. Because I'm forgetful I also have profiles to disable wifi when the device goes to sleep, and to email me when the battery is getting low so I remember to charge it.

Finally, I also have generic profiles to lock and reply with GPS coordinates in response to text, turn volume to max and make noise in response to text, unlock when connected to home wifi, and unlock when my alarm goes off so that I don't have to enter my passcode and scan the alarm-silencing QR code I put up in the bathroom.

Let me know if you want more info on any of the above!
[Epic 4G General] MeetFace:
Would you mind posting the low battery profile?

I'd like to set that up on my TP.

Thanks!
[Epic 4G General] CogDancer:
Sure, it's not too complicated although it does take a bit of setting up. To start with, in order to enable/disable apps you must use either the SecureSettings plugin with an updated su binary, or use adb commands. I choose to use SecureSettings, since that way I don't have to look up package names.

To disable groups of packages, I first make several individual tasks disabling each one. Then, I make another task which turns off wifi, 4g, and GPS. Next, I make another task which runs appropriate package-disabling tasks for that grouping, as well as the wifi/4g/GPS off task. Finally, I put an icon to run that group task on my homescreen.

Obviously, you'll have to figure out what apps/services you may want to disable for yourself.

Note that you could just as easily put all the package disabling actions in one task, thereby obviating the need to nest tasks. I just did it this way since that's what seemed natural to me, given that I have a few different groupings.

Links to XML files for the wifi/GPS off task, an example package disabling task, and a low power consumption master task.
[Epic 4G General] sleebus.jones:
I had the same concerns when I purchased Tasker, and I've found the battery life impact to be undetectable by me. Mainly, that's because tasker runs based on states, and it doesn't constantly poll the OS for what state it's in.

For instance, I have a task that puts my device on silent when it's face down. From how I understand it works, tasker tells the OS "let me know when you are face down" and then pretty much goes to sleep. The OS handles that, and when it goes face down, it tells tasker "ok, i'm face down now" and then tasker executes its script.

So, tasker really doesn't impact battery life, but if you have it switch on high-drain stuff, then yep, you'll see a difference, but that's what you've set it to do, not the app itself.

HTH,

Michael
