Thanks. Somebody else the understands RF!

So far I've killed a Photon, explained antenna design, explained RF, explained the legal aspects. Rumors are a hard thing to kill my friend, hard to kill indeed.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
These guys did a really good job of being nice answering this. They are right, and I am sure in the future you will look a little deeper. But sometimes if you aren't frequently in the forums you can miss topics like this.

Anyway, be glad that Photon owners/devs are generally nicer people. I used to have an Evo 4G and there were some real assholes over there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
No they we not! They were the coolest, nicest, most amazing devs ever!!!

HAHAHA That's right, I almost forgot you were like Switzerland in that whole debacle. I was very much in the Orrebmas camp. Anyway, I am much happier here.

Plug the photon in and look in device manager, it has an LTE modem period. There is no argument here, find it for yourself. Sprint will have LTE but not for awhile, as for the Photon working on it, who knows, but I am damn sure that it is capable of it. If you are asking a Sprint Rep any questions about a phone, 97.38782% of them don't know much about them, yes there are a few who actually do their homework on each and every phone they come across but that is few and far between. ( And in case you work at Sprint and you are reading this, don't take it personal, I'm just saying that most reps sell phones, they don't study them and know them inside and out) As for Motorola, who knows, it all depends on who you talk to, but I would believe one of them over a random Sprint rep who 'sells' phones for a living, being that Motorola actually built the thing.

But all you really need to do is plug it in and look for yourself. :-)

If it was LTE sprint would be selling it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Send screen shot please as I have spent over an hour looking and I see no mention of LTE!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Click on Exhibit 9. Above the board battery is the Beeceem radio. It has been verified numerous times that the radio is the Beceem BCSM350-L which is NOT lte. The post referenced by the OP supposedly showing a lte modem also shows up on a number of Moto devices including the Droid X2. The FACT is that the Photon has a BCSM350 radio. If needed, I will destroy my phone and post high-res images of every chip on the board to kill this stupid rumor.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sompom:
(Feel free to read the TL/DR section at the bottom. The top section is just more detailed)

Hi,

Many months ago, I bought a MyTouch 3G slide as a replacement phone on eBay. The listing mentioned a few problems with the phone but basically it all seemed to be working. (P.S., here is not the time to lecture me about eBay!)

When I got it, I discovered the description to be in error. The phone is unable to connect to any network (roaming or my Tmobile), it occasionally has trouble booting and the battery reads strangely (it shows 100% for most of the day, then drops to 80% around 5PM)

I used this phone in conjunction with my G1 (MyTouch for webbrowsing / games, G1 for calling / texting), then bought a G2 and put in on the back shelf.

I just got back from a trip to Europe on which I brought the MyTouch as a possible time passing device. When in England, I bought a Tmobile simcard to get some data there. I never ended up using the MyTouch except as a convenient way to store my US simcard. When I got back to the US, I swapped my UK SIM into the MyTouch and the US SIM into my G2. I powed on the MyTouch to check the time (G2 was nearly dead) and suddenly it connected to the network and downloaded the little text that told me how much it would cost for various services.

Why would the UK sim work on a US network, while the US SIM does not? Is there a chance that there's a software problem with the MyTouch?

TL/DR - I have a MyTouch 3G slide which works on US networks with a UK simcard but not with a US sim card. What could be causing this?

Thanks for reading!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocHoliday77:
Maybe a problem w the sim card itself? Go to any Tmobile store and theyll swap it out for a new one.

As for ur battery problem, did u buy the phone new or used? Either way the battery is probably old. If it was new it may have been sitting on a shelf for a long time. If used, well, it may be getting to the end of its life. Ive seen some weird stuff happen with old/used/3rd party batts.

U can find replacements on ebay and amazon that are very inexpensive.

[Trophy General] ottonie:
Hello ya'll!

Have been using my Trophy for about a month now and really loving the WP. A few things missing, a few things uncustomizable, but god it's snappy and intuitive!

But now as the WP8 is the news of the day I'm wondering whether the Trophy will get this WP7.8-update? I understand it doesn't have that much of new stuff, same things as WP8 minus the hardware-upgrades, but it would be nice to have at least some level on "continuity" on this device especially as it's just a year old (?) and the hardware and all are pretty much up to today's standards? I don't like to feel like a "handset-retard" with a phone that's practically just a year old. Or is that just the way things go nowadays?

Just a little chitchat thread this one. Feel free to post your best guesses or facts that even scrape the topic!
[Trophy General] DrWatson2005:
Hello, my Trophy is almost two years old (in a couple of months).

But I see no reason why we shouldn't get the 7.8 update. As you stated, the hardware is up to today's standard.

We'll get :)

The Doc.
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I was thinking more along the lines of... when that build hits, we'll have it cooked and on a billion different phones in less then an hour... lol

But that's just me. The start screen change along makes the current Tango builds seem.. well.. boring. Extra free ram be damned.

One year into my ownership of my Trophy (well, and my recently acquired 2nd Trophy), and am really looking into new Windows Phone 8 hardware.. whatever that might be.

Now I just have to pray that Verizon doesn't sit around on its ass while AT&T and T-Mobile are selling out of stupid looking Windows Phones like the Lumia 810, and the sexy looking Windows Phones like the Lumia 900+.
[Trophy General] pilex:
It's better than nothing really. There even any other MINOR things 7.8 will give us? A better texting app with video MMS? Anything?
[Trophy General] TheXev:
Other then the new start screen, I haven't seen anything. At this point in my phones life, I'm just happy to see that we're getting any kind of official updates. It beats the support on every other smart phone I've owned (all HTC).

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FAdrums:
So I've finally decided to unlock my bootloader so I've been reading a few threads about it but I want to be sure that I'll do it right.

I want to use this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12873655

But since I'm on a branded phone I understood that I'll have to flash a generic Rom first to allow the unlocking to be done, am I correct?

I do understand that I'll lose the DRM's and stuff and that while on an unlocked bootloader I cannot use official SE programs (PCC & SEUS) because it will brick the phone correct?

After the unlocking is done I'll still have a fw installed right?

And finally, after unlocking bootloader I'll flash roms in flash mode and kernels and baseband on flashboot mode right?

Thanks for the help guys! :)

Hi, Im use to Xperia Mini Pro SK17i (ICS 4.04) Im return to 2.3.4 Gingebread version.

How to Factory Reset for my phone ?

Help me thanks.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
If you factory reset your phone, you'll have a clean ICS installation. There's no official way to get back to 2.3.4, you have to flash it using Flashtool. Check THIS tutorial, point 4 :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Charoid:
Omg, its a very hard processing for me. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
It's not, really. Just read carefully the tutorial :)

Anyway, why would you downgrade? What does ICS have that you don't like? :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Charoid:
I become root, therefore return to 2.3.4 first offical rom.

Its a easy do root for 2.3.4
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
It' very easy to root 2..3.4 until firmware 0.58... from firmware 0.62 on it's not possible. So if you downgrade, use a .42 firmware. Then, you can update OTA (through the phone, not PC Companion) to 0.62 :)

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] side_effect:
But its illegal by policy of google
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :

Comparison of "Mini Pro" SK17a vs "X10 Mini Pro"

Removed my comments about problems I was having with SK17's fingertip swipe navigation. An upgrade to Android 4 ICS solved the problems.

UPDATE: I just rooted and upgraded my SK17a from GB to ICS. The fingertip swipe navigation is now smoother (even one-handed thumb swipes), and fingertip swipes now work in landscape, so I'm bumping my rating from 3 to 4-stars ;-) So the SK17a is truly a fine successor to the X10...cept for the layout and backlighting on the numbers/symbol keys which is a still problem in both... and of course the bloatware which requires rooting to remove. I still love my X10 and it will be a fine second phone.

I still have some gripes about the SK17a so feel free to read my amazon review which will be long 4-star review by Kyle Y (keywords Sony SK17a White)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kanellos:
I have x10 mini pro, and my sister has mini pro.

From the two I would suggest the later.

My sister's mini pro battery lasts longer.

It has a bigger screen without the phone itself being bigger (at least not noticeably bigger).

The keyboard keys are softer to type (I find x10 mini pro's keys a little too hard).

More apps in the market for the mini pro (due to greater resolution and ics).

And it takes better photos (that, or I'm not as good in taking photos).

x10 mini pro is cheaper.

My sister's keyboard keys have been worn out more than mine (I think that they were matte, now they are not)

In general I'm jealous of my sister's mini pro, if that helps.

[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] hwmod:
From what I know it was fixed in first Russian release (C170B008).

Any release after that should have the correct Adreno 220 drivers and OpenGL/ES libraries version 2.0 (2184622). That's what fixes some of the Skype problems you may have encountered. It also fixes other applications graphics issues.

You can check your libraries versions with "OpenGLES Extension Viewer" from the Market.
