But now 3 is no long working with orange. So now they don't have 2G signal, either 3g or nothing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bobwonderful:
I'm using the latest FF18. With AOKP build 40.

My signal has always not been that great with Samsung phone.

My Palm Pre gets full 5 bars of signal when the Samsung displays only 3.

I find I can't dial out some times or get 3G coverage often. 4G works in some areas and I know that is limited a bite.

Do you think I should go back to the stock and then do a phone update?

I can't use ##Data# with the AOKP builds.

Hello all,

any advice would be apreciated i have been trying for 3 days without success.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
I'm already rooted.

I already did the htc dev unlock.

Why do I need S-Off?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
yup u needs it.. who wouldnt want s-off!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] miguelfp1:
the main advantage of doing it is future-proofing, because there's always the chance that HTC might patch the exploit used to gain S-Off.

on the other side of the coin, there's the risk of bricking, but considering there's a method to un-brick the phone, it shouldn't be too much of a hassle to bring back if it bricks.

as it stands, right now there are no big advantages or differences between S-Off and the HTC unlock, because kernels can be flashed from recovery, and even the radios can be updated. I personally was HTC Unlocked, but waited until the Unbricking method before taking the plunge for S-Off, and worked the first time.

good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
Honestly, you probably don't need S-OFF considering we can flash radios without S-OFF. The only advantage is flashing unsigned .zip files through the bootloader, and most of the time you are going to be flashing from recovery anyways, so in all reality, you probably won't need it. I suppose if you don't like seeing tampered plastered all over your bootloader or the red HTC warning message when you boot your phone, then sure, S-OFF is needed to get rid of that stuff.

This guy has some interesting things to say about the whole root concept and he mentioned something about cyanogens idea of removing root but leaving the system open for the user
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
but if youre rooted, doesnt that effectively takes you off of the htc upgrade path. its like with the 3d, as long as you were bootloader 1.4 then you were good, because roms werent going to upgrade you to 1.5. or am i missing something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] miguelfp1:
your point is correct, but also stuff may always happen, so S-Off is kind of a protection layer for us, at least that's how I look at it

nonetheless, what's been previously said is true, no much difference or benefit to it right now
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sn0b0ard:
Even with S-OFF you can still run a stock RUU and it would overwrite the bootloader with one that is locked. OTA updates-same thing. That's why when you see devs posting stock, rooted ROMs, any bootloader updates are usually removed from the .zip file.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nhaixin69:
Without s off, all those roms can be installed without issues? Because I see some roms says it needs to be s off. Kindly advise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
I did the unlock and thought it was pretty cool, when i flashed roms i always had problems though , once i did the s-off, i have had no problems whatsoever flashing anything. I'm still learning this stuff but from what i have figured out, it's the way to go. Facepalm and unlimited.io have methods for going s-off, facepalm i hear is pretty quick and only takes a couple minutes. And if you don't like it, viperboy just released a way to put your phone back to stock, but you have to be s-off to use it. It's worth it.. Painless and you get so much more out of these phones... Just make sure you back up with twrp.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nhaixin69:
unlimited.io do not support hboot 1.27.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tonyevo52:
Take the ota and then s-off...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ares1105:
I'm S-On and have no problem installing any roms whatsoever... even non-sense. Just make sure you read before installing roms. Never saw any advantages to S-Off so I never made the plunge.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
:silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jkrlvgn:
My 2 cents:

Do you need s-off? No.

Do you need root? No.

Do you need a smart phone? No.

You don't NEED any of those things. I have friends that still use regular phones that are pretty far from smart phones, and they will never switch...and they are happy.

I have friends that have smart phones and have them rooted, but not s-off. They will never s-off...and they are happy.

I have friends that have smart phones, have root, AND are s-off. They will never go back to the way it was before, and they are happy, but are wondering why people don't just save themselves the trouble of having to do things the long way with time wasting that could be applied elsewhere.

I even have friends that want to root, s-off, but because they don't know how to read and/or follow directions, they ruin their phone. And they are.....well, they're not happy, but that's beside the point.

S-Off if you want to, if you want control of your phone with less hoops. If you don't want to, its OK...if the ROM doesn't already compensate for the people who are s-on, then there are others to use.

Up to you. Kind of a shame to go 3/4 of the way down the rabbit hole and then give up, though.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Lieu10ant:
This is a general consensus to see the distribution between carriers. To see what percentage of people are on which specific carrier. So vote in the poll and let's see what the outcome is!

edit:

it's not letting me edit the options in the poll. and this poll generally coincides with the subsections in this forum. so if you are on Canadian carriers, choose the American equivalent.

Rogers, Bell, Telus, Sasktel = AT&T

Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron = T-Mobile

Sprint network is unacceptable i can't believe people had this junk for years i barely can put up with it and i only been with them for three weeks. Tmobile speeds even when throttled is faster than spring 3g . Its unlimited because you can't even use it if you tried . I could blow threw my 10gb on T-Mobile in a month. I cant even use a gig on sprint. It's been a waste of money so far but i hope lte fix this crappy situation soon.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] deathpulse:
I'm getting about 1.8 to 2 down and 1.2 up with Sprint in northern Jersey/New York. Beats the pants off of what I got with AT&T 3g around here (even without their monthly throttle after 3 gb). Can't WAIT for Sprint LTE!!! What good is faster bandwidth if you get throttled/cut off and can't use it? AT&T was a "hurry up to the monthly cap throttle and wait" game for me.

Where in Jersey? I just came from a 3g Galaxy Note (international version) on AT&T to the SIII on Sprint. I spend most of my time in Lower Manhattan, Jersey City and West Milford and in all of the areas I have been so far Sprint has better signal and higher speeds (3g to 3g). I ALSO can stream movies and music without getting annoying "you've gone over xxGB limits and are now throttled" txts, calls and throttles. AT&T seriously limited the amazing capabilities of the device for me - I couldn't effectively tether, stream vid/music or download large files (like multiple new ROMS/month).

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] deathpulse:
You are DEF not the only one - I do too ;). I also enjoy the fact that I can:

1. Download multiple ROMS do the device using the carrier data connection each month without getting throttled

2. Stream Pandora/other music streaming services in the car without getting throttled

3. Watch Netflix/other video streaming without getting throttled

4. Not worry about "going over some crazy limit" each day/month

Good luck to those on carriers with soft/hard limits but I think this device offers too many mobile features to be truly useful on a limiting carrier - unless you are anchored to wifi somehow all the time.

I have T-Mobile. I live in the suburbs of Chicago. I always have service and my average speeds are about 25Mbps down and 4Mbps up. I think they have excellent customer service and great plans. Not to mention my credit wasn't the best when I started with them awhile back and all they wanted was a $100 deposit which I got back a year later. AT&T & Verizon wanted a $400 deposit if I recall correctly.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] androholic:
It seems like everyone that moves to sprint is talking about being throttled because of Rom downloads, watching netflix, & YouTube? YouTube, okay I use it alot if I'm out of the house & bored, but what are you doing? Downloading roms while your driving down the street? Watching movies @ the mall on netflix? It seems like most ppl that migrate to sprint do it because they don't have wifi or something. Get a cheap 20-30mbps home wifi & don't even bother doing alot of that when your on a carrier network! I use my data for Web browsing, some YouTube video, pandora, and pretty basic things. 5gb plan and I don't go over because I'm near wifi alot. Unlimited data is worthless if you can't stream a gb all month if you tried! Unless sprint flips the LTE soon, I couldn't deal with it!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] deathpulse:
I DO have Verizon FIOS' highest speed internet at my house with 802.11n router etc but routinely went over the AT&T "soft" data cap on my grandfathered "unlimited" AT&T plan and was throttled back to stupidly slow and unusable internet speeds. Here are some reasons:

1. I do not have wireless internet access at work and I like to stream music to listen while working

2. I believe that turning off wifi and keeping it off saves battery life on the phone - it seems to make a HUGE difference for me, although I admit I never did any amount of scientific testing. Can anyone confirm this?

3. I frequently listen to streaming music while traveling in the car or waiting at airports etc etc

4. I frequently watch streaming videos away from home (airports etc)

5. I download and try new ROMS frequently. Roms range in size but seem to take 500+ mb per download these days. A few of those and you blow your monthly cap on the other carriers

6. I have come to the conclusion that "faster" is great and all but doesn't really make a HUGE difference to me after about 1.2mb/sec. All it did for me on AT&T is allow me to SLAM into my "soft" limit insanely quickly

7. I frequently tether my computer when away from the house and traveling. I'd rather do this than pay extra for wifi access at a hotel or in an airport

I could go on and on here but the fact is that data capping is like a digital anchor. If you live your life in the house and have high speed wireless I suppose it is a non-issue. If you travel like I do and work in an area where wifi isn't an option it really really sucks. I love the freedom to not care about it or get harassing calls about "using too much" based on some major carrier's definition of where to draw the line of "too much". Opposing viewpoints always welcome, but I have been a Verizon and AT&T customer and will never go back to a carrier that intentionally limits my unlimited access. ever.

Hey

Is there any where you can recommend a full explanation of rooting android devices and also installing custom roms to the device?

I do not know anything about this, but have been told that installing custom rom’s is a way to go, when using an android device.

and I have also been recommended the CyanogenMod way of rooting.

I would like a comprehensive explanation and maybe also tutorials for this, for a complete newbie like myself!

First Hi everyone.

I'm not too sure where to post this.

I also do not know if this is old news or not.

I have searched EVERYWHERE and could not find an answer and after countless hours of research and experimentation AND looking/calling all local t-mobiles stores for a non gba (50.01) sim card with no luck, I have gotten edge/2g data to work using the newer micro sim that comes with the HTC One S.

Here are my APN settings:

name: T-Mobile

APN: epc.tmobile.com

Proxy: not set

Port: not set

Username: not set

Password: not set

Server: not set

MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MMS port: not set

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Authentication type: not set

APN type: default,supl,mms

Bearer: Unspecified

Then turn on the APN setting and Mobile data and magically I saw it saying conecting...connected!

Sorry if this is OLD news but somehow i could NOT find this anywhere and the apn settings were all different each place i looked.

Not only that I could not tell if ppl were talking about the international version or the one x and if they were different when regarding data connection and the infamous NON GBA sim cards.

Hope this helps.
