[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Oh dude,

I'm sorry

... I would be PISSED! THANKFULLY I bought my GS3 on craigslist, so I didn't renew my contract (I only have 1 more year with t-mobile on contract). And after 10+ years with them, after my contract expires I will be switching my 4 lines over to something else. I'm tired of the terrible customer support, terrible data speeds (though most of that is my fault because we use unlocked iphones). They (t-mobile) were always the cheapest, but now there are so many options out there...

I renewed my contract June 2011 with the rumors of the at&t merger, after being contract free for years and years... Got locked in to 2gb of 4G/unlimited data for $10 (or $20, whatever it was at that time) thinking if AT&T bought them, I'd have unlimited at&t data for the same price - well... we all know how that turned out.

Sorry to rant....

I have NOT been to Dallas yet and tested speeds there, Last time I played with a Android 4G t-mobile capable phone (which only displayed H - never did say 4G) IN DALLAS (near the omni) I got 17mbps I think? something insane like that. When I do, I'll post in the speed test thread.

EDIT: Here's my test in Arlington
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] benefit14snake:
I am getting 1.5-2.5mbs. I see either 4G or E. I live I am Henrico va but when I am in the city (once a month?....) I get 20+ mbs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
It really depends on the city guys I see only 4g or edge but with the new them I flashed I see h+, h and 3g which is good that way I know exactly what am I using, anyways my service is great where I live the only better carrier for me would be att but with their lte I start using too much and that ain't good, tmobile is good for me to watch netflix and YouTube and So far I'm liking it :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
i live in south denton/north fort-worth and i have the 4G icon too but i also get ****ty speeds. 102kB/s down and 80kB/s upload

Which suburb do you live in? My wife has a one s on t mobile and gets 10-12 down and 1 -3 up. We live in Plano.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
Here's a few result over the past couple of days. All in Arlington (about 15-20 miles from Dallas, TX (major city) and the same from Ft Worth (another major city). So I'm smack dab in the middle. {for those reading around the country} Arlington is where the Texas Rangers play, Dallas Cowboys play in their new sadium, Six flags over Texas is, etc.... I *KNOW* the speed will go up when I go to Dallas or Ft Worth, but I'm so close, I'm a little shocked and disappointed in T-mobile for the coverage here. Especially when I'm seeing just about all the other carriers getting 20+mbps and as high as 62mbps down :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] planoman:
I did not realize the t mobile HSPA+ was so different in DFW depending where you are. I have ATT and their LTE network is very speedy all throughout the metroplex.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
What can I say? T-mobile not giving us in Tarrant county any love.

(That's the ft worth county west of Dallas county for those around the world)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id10terrordfw:
I can vouch for those "other" carriers getting tremendous speeds in the Keller/Roanoke and Downtown Ft. Worth area, as I am one of them. My good friend used to be GM OF A T-Mobile store and it irked her to no end. Even my HSPA+ on my old Inspire and i9100 trounced it on a regular basis. It is why I can't go T-Mobile.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
I tried to switch to AT&T. 4 lines were going to cost like $450+ with data (iPhones). And t-mobile was about half at $230 WITH TAX!

Right now I'm in grand prairie at Sam's club on I20, which is a few miles east of my house in Arlington. And I'm getting high 8mbps+ ... so just a few miles CLOSER to Dallas and the speed improved. :rolleyes:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker29:
Where I made a speed test thread a week or so ago. And like the guy said a couple of posts ago. It all depends on where you live. My wife have the one s and lowest I seen hers get was 19mbs down. I stay 20 minutes south from Chicago in park forest. And like I said in the other post I get a constant 21 to 25mbs down.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cwalker29:
This is my wife results
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] id10terrordfw:
I keep forgetting everyone doesn't get the same discount I have had on my account, the apple employee price. Even though I haven't worked for the cult in over two years. For two lines, one with 5gb and one with 300 mb I pay 135+tax.

You should only see E or 4G while on a T-Mobile network. If you are seeing H or 3G, you are roaming.

I get 12 to 13 mbps and I live in Denton, TX.

What the hell dude I would kill to get those speeds. Where exactly in Denton are you? I want to take my phone there and see if my phone can reach somewhere near that.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Quarmzz:
Can someone help me with how to change the 4G icon to H? I don't think I'm a big fan of the 4G icon.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It requires themeing at least one of the system apks. Youd most likely have to decompile it and replace the icon. There are roms that are built to show what you want, but youll have to look through them all to find one that suits your needs.

Theres also the Ultimate Online Theme kitchen. (UOT) itll theme all sorts of stuff and takes a lot of the work and research out of it.
[Samsung Focus S] mmuntean2:
After updating to 8773.98 the website windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreaker does not work anymore. after hitting the button to unlock and restarting the phone, the side loaded apps previously installed before the update do not work anymore: This application has been revoked by Microsoft.

Any ideas on this issue and how to fix it?
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
Its the tango update that breaks dev and interop unlock, the samsung update then stops you from being able to unlock it

if you have a backup of your phone before you flashed the LE2 samsung update then you will need to revert to that,

apply the unlock,

then apply the tango unlock update to make sure it doesnt relock again,

Now if ive got this straight, you then backup at this point,

apply samsung update

then you can enjoy the benifits of the update as well as keeping dev and interop unlock. when you need to update again you will need to revert to your previous backup BEFORE you did the samsung LE2 update.

Its strongly worth while you copying the backup files to a seperate folder so you can keep track of backups you make,
[Samsung Focus S] mmuntean2:
RE:

Sorry, I do not have a backup.

Any other solutions?

If there is any update on previous tools that could work now with already updated focus S devices please list the idea here. Thanks.
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
Did you use zune to update or cab sender?

zune makes a backup, settings>update>restore

cab sender you would have had to make a backup

if you don't have a backup then you are out of luck. there is no way at the moment to restore interop unlock and dev unlock would need to be via an app hub account.

in short, the tool needed to unlock the device is no longer functional after the Samsung LE2 update, if you did backup the device you could restore it, but if you didn't your out of luck! :)
[Samsung Focus S] acryn:
thereby also occur in samsung focus s, well just have zune back me up before I returned, then I use seveneighter became well again, of course locked the device again, here's my OS version 7.10.8858.136 the top right after I seveneighter updates, I'm disappointed I did mind the interop unlock tricks, work over again focus s unlocked running 7.8
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
there is a working exploit for the focus S now no matter what you have done

http://www.wp7roottools.com/index.php/downloads

follow guide exactly and you'll be fine
[Samsung Focus S] acryn:
Anyway wp7 root tools 1.0 is not working for focus s i suggest to all please use the latest wp7 root tools
[Samsung Focus S] dazza9075:
We should be anyway but if you are still using older versions then updating rather than removing and re installing fixes the problem on some of the older versions
[Samsung Focus S] acryn:
though I repent my update to 7.8 speed battery drain even on standby.mode maybe because of HAVING tweaks on 7.8 im so disappointed i think 7.5 is better than 7.8:( inshort 7.8 kills my battery without using wifi or internet,what is the purpose of eco apps?killing un needed processes?or killing battery?:confused:anyway thanks for the apps i think the main issue here is my battery not the apps or being updated to 7.8,but since my phone running 7.5 battery was good,i don't know what really kills my battery:eek:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hero000:
bootloop happens when the Rom corrupts during installation or installing any other application. or some people using ROM Manager . Never use ROM Manager you will loose the cwm. Download any ROM which supports Odin. flash it you should be fine. Then you can switch back to your favorite ROM. this is a good rom you can flash via odin.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1095274

PS : if you don't like to flash ROM just flash CWM via Odin which should give you access to CWM. you can restore you backup ROM if you have one or have any other ROM in your phone memory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashish_mhatre:
I was facing the same problem some days ago, but after surfing this forum, I realised that if you have Kies running in the background, Odin will behave oddly and will not flash the firmware by going into a bootloader loop.

I suggest that you re-install the drivers again and make sure that Kies is not running in the background when you are flashing through Odin (just fire up your Task Manager in Windows and terminate the Kies process).

Hope this helps you... :)
[Venue Pro General] PerfecShawn:
I have a newly received 16GB Dell Venue Pro (T-Mobile) for sale. I just received it this afternoon. It is factory refurbished from Dell. They swapped out my bricked DVP for this one. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks!

Shawn
[Venue Pro General] Technosquid:
I see this is your second post. I'm new here myself, but I have a feeling that posting a thread that you're selling a DVP is probably frowned upon.

There was a thread posted on here earlier, entitled "your unwanted DVP," with someone in India I believe looking to buy one. but I'm guessing he's looking for the AT&T/international version because of T-Mobile's incompatible 3G band.

My advice -- post it on ebay, get paid through paypal, ship it with delivery confirmation. That way you're covered if the buyer files a non-receipt complaint. Also, don't list it as an auction. Find out the high end of what a perfect condition one has sold for recently and set that as its buy-it-now price. Make sure to get the unlock code via UnlockCodeRequest@dell.com (Send the request with your IMEI and Service Tag.) A newish unlocked T-Mobile DVP should go for about $160.

Or you can post on craigslist, but at that point you're just hoping someone near you wants one and they don't know how to use ebay.

Good luck!
[Venue Pro General] Technosquid:
ebay listing looks good! Now that I see it I feel like you could raise the price another $10 or so, since it has all the accessories as well. The last one I sold was a 18-month-old 16GB T-Mobile DVP with significant wear, and that went for over $160, but that was also just before the non-upgradable-to-WP8 announcement. That may be affecting prices.
[Venue Pro General] PerfecShawn:
Thanks! To be honest, I really like the DVP and WM7.5 OS. I never had any problems with the phone whatsoever. It's just sad that alot of people soured on it after the initial batch came out. If T-Mobile didn't give me an Amaze 4G for free, I would still be using the DVP.
[Venue Pro General] PerfecShawn:
TechoSquid

The DVP I sent back to Dell was T-Mobile and the one they sent me is a unlocked generic carrier version. Think I can sell it for a little more??
[Venue Pro General] Technosquid:
Out of curiosity, if "It has never been turned on or used," how do you know dell updated it to Tango build 8773? P.s. you accidentally said build 8337 in your listing.

Buy-it-now listings almost always go for more than an auction. Why would a potential customer bother bidding on an auction? It's because they're trying to get a lower price than similar listings available for with buy-it-now. Just for future reference.

Have a Sim-Free Sensation XE.

I started rooting using the XDA guide linked from Androidforums. So far I have s-ff, and installed the backup when the handset decided there was the ICS update after a manual search said there wasnt. :rolleyes:

I've read a thread on android forums about bricking if rooted then doing the OTA. Have I gone too far to OTA without bricking, or do I need to undo what I've done so far, and if so how do I reinstall the stock recovery?

Many thanks.
[HTC Sensation] nx1977:
Any one able to advise me please?

Many thanks.

Just unroot using the option for permanent unroot in the SuperSU app.

Flash the stock recovery (Download here).

Then check for updates & install it.

I switched back to the stock messages app from gosms pro but for some reason gosms is still listed in the lockscreen apps at the bottom and the messages app now in my dock is not there. I am using apex launcher.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cojak777:
My guess is that the sense lock screen shortcuts use the apps in the sense launchers dock, not the ones in apex launcher. Go back to the sense launcher and change the dock icons there, assuming you're on a sense based rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Go to (stock) sense launcher, then move the apps you want to show up to the bottom, that should fix it. Once that's done go back to apex.

Anyone got a clue about this?

Same here, the Sound Search widget is missing, also the app does not appear on the list of installed apps (should be "Sound Search for Google Play").

I currently have no music on my nexus, maybe there is my mistake?

Edit: You need to defrost the app, then it works again. But why its always after flashing (official trough ota) jelly bean frosted? How to unfrost without root?

I don't know if this should be posted here but I am creating an ics themed gingerbread rom and I was wondering if it is possible to decrease the spacing between the status bar icons to make it more ics like?
[Android Themes] pgriffinsc:
use GIMP,and re size the canvas of the icons.Make sure the images are converted to RGB under images/mode before you make any changes.And make sure you click on the chain link so it doesn't change the canvas height.Another awesome app for modding icons on the go,is Photo Editor in the market. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5pdWRlc2suYW5kcm9pZC5waG90by5lZGl0b3IiXQ..

Thanks... so no xml editing involved? I've been looking everywhere for how to do this.... and I was told that there was a guide on here for how to do it but I haven't found one as of yet...
[Android Themes] pgriffinsc:
No xml editing. you're just replacing/resizing images.i do a lot of mine on my phone.i use root explorer to extract and re zip my apks,and update folders that i modify with what ever contents,zip them then flash them. you should be able to push the system ui with a root explorer and set the permissions,but flash able zips are just easier. Also,if you are using icons from somewhere else,you dont want to just scale the image as is.

1.convert to RGB

2.autocrop your original icons to find their base size(you dont have to save it as cropped)

3.autocrop the new icons,and scale them to the same,bigger,or smaller size as your stock ones.

4.change the canvas size back 38 tall by how ever wide.

I think normal on most Gingerbread builds is 38x38 for status bar icons.

I don't know about batch operations on GIMP.You can search and see if there is a script available for batch operations.

[Android Themes] jetx2x:
OK... ill give it a try
[Android Themes] pgriffinsc:
The only time you'll have to work around xml files,is with signal icons. like using a 4 bar icon in place of a 6 bar or visa versa. But then,you're just adding/taking away and renaming a couple of icons. some parts of the framework will require xml edits,but if thats the case,you can just run it through UOT kitchen first........ What kind of battery icons,and what size?
