You are on 3g, your speeds are about expected in a medium area.

4g or wifi is your answer.
[HTC EVO 3D] jimzip69:
It SAYS 3G but was so much faster before then some how prl updated last month and now too slow..last night I flashed ics radio but still SLOW..I can make a phone call I can hear people fine but they say I cut in and out...getting truly depressed about this. Should I flash back to a rooted stock Rom? Or could I flash another radio? Help..my son has evo 4g not rooted he has issues now trying to watch u-tube videos(I think its xxx) what can I do 3hrs away from 4g no WiFi..phone was my internet..no go now!!
[HTC EVO 3D] scottypeterson:
Complain to Sprint, lol just kidding that will never help. Almost everyone's 3g speeds suck but some have ran the 3g turbocharger scipt and it has helped them (I've never noticed any difference)

[HTC EVO 3D] jimzip69:
Should I change prl or radio..I used the new radio/hw for ICS can I change radio back to 530 and then change prl
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
There is nothing you can do, except switch carriers. Sprint's 3g network is absolutely awful. I personally haven't gotten above 100kbps on 3g in over 2 years now. Email dan@sprint.com and complain that sprint is not holding up their end of the contract, and they should let you out of your contract ETF free so you can switch carriers.
[HTC EVO 3D] jimzip69:
Will try Dan that but after hrs with Sprints tech support and no luck got nothing to loose..10+ years and do not see anything getting any better..and the rumors of Apple wanting to buy them..paying 10 bucks for damn 4G that's never gonna happen sucks. And now they are pushing LTE That also will never be in my service area. Sprints Solution was to get airwave think they called it but why do I have to get more crap just to use the service I already pay for. I just want the speeds I had before the prl was pushed to our phones. Atleast I was able to stream music and watch movies , not the blazing speed they claimed but was watching/streaming daily. Have not been able to any more flipping sucks..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] elitelimfish:
So my com.andoird.phone has been crashing constantly which means I can't even do anything without the stupid popup coming up. I believe it's due to a faulty application. Anybody had any luck on fixing this? (running CM10 test build on my Evo 4g LTE)

Secondary question. Is it possible to remove the app from fastboot USB or recovery? If that were possible I think the system would sort itself back out. Thanks in advance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
First, which build are you running? There have been like an average of 3 builds a day since Sunday.

Second, they have seen progressive improvements on each build.

I suggest getting the latest build from IRC if what you are running is a day or so old.

Also there are a lot of great people in there to help if you stick around. :D

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Did you get this sorted out? I had the same problem of speradic fcing on that from the latest buil at 8pm last night. I wiped everything and reinstalled. It fc'd continuously until I got through the setup with my turbo fingers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AsinX:
Everyone will tell you the same thing. The builds are on IRC and so are the bugs. Deck has not made a fix for this bug. It is a known issue. Get on IRC and off XDA for these builds.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
I can talk wherever I please thank you...get off xda and go back to irc ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ristrettodreams:
ditto

I had a variation on this same issue. Did a TB of my user apps and system settings (not system apps) from my flex 1.75 install. Full wipe, installed the latest 8/2 CM10 from IRC, phone started fine, got one com.phone crash dialog and then everything seemed to be fine. Did the TB restore and when I rebooted I was stuck in an endless com.phone and android.process.acore crash loop. Only clue I have is that I noticed my wifi was connected when I rebooted (since my settings were restored).

Flashed to venom :-/

I'm on latest radios/firmware, s-off etc, latest TWRP, matching md5s etc
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] motcher41:
Yeah i didn't have the issue except on reboot until I rebooted this morning then it went psycho. Its a pretty solid build otherwise.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joshuaw84:
Pretty sure restoring system settings fro sense to aosp is a bad idea. It made it so you could not connect to data and that's why you had the error loop. :p just saying

sent from my LTEvo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Yep, user error
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ristrettodreams:
I retried full wiping/flashing just restoring user apps, and while it didn't immediately go into the loop the same way, it still did it if my wifi was on and associated when I rebooted. It's apparently something to do with not getting data making the process go nuts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] long_tall_texan:
Are you having the problem before restoring user apps? Sometimes I have found it best to re-install via market using appbak. Then once the apps are re-installed that way, just restore only the app data you need from TB, don't restore all apps/data at once.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] zhutou9802:
Hi, I am totally a layman about the Android system. I only know following the directions of how to do. Thing is I am trying to use apple ethernet usb in my thinkpad tablet. I only find this information of the drive in the internet.

the-wozi.com/blog/2012/04/11/asix-ax88772b-driver-for-android-honeycomb-3-1-for-the-lenovo-thinkpad-tablet

But this drive is for Android Honeycomb 3.1, my tablet has updated to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. So when I run the asix.ko in a terminal, it showed "exec format error". I think maybe the problem is Android system does not match.

So I am here to ask for help if someone knows how to modify the drive for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0. Thinks a lot!
[HTC Rezound] ajglenn03:
So I want to finally make the jump to S-Off. I am unlocked, rooted, and running an older version of CleanROM Dev edit. and did flash an older RUU leak before that. I thought that since I am not totally sure what leak I am on that I would just re-lock and flash the latest and S-Off from there. But when I went to the download site it doesn't have a download for the newest leak. does it matter which on we run as long as its on Windows? What would be the recommended route from here?
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
I s offed on the 3.14.605.10 leak worked fine I believe it's controlbear 0.6 ics version. Oh and my advice is get a metronome and set it for 1.75 second intervals to get the timing right on the wire trick. I used it and got it the first try. I and you must use an insulated stiff wire I recommend a wire from a cat5/6 ethernet cable
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
I also uploaded a 1.75 second loop track since you can't very well run a metronome app on your phone while it's rebooting..... See this thread for link. It's near the bottom of the OP.

Thanks for this mate, its awesome. I know this question may seem like I'm noob, which is because I am. I have had a little search but not sure if there is a way to get Google Now working on a sense rom on 4.0.4 such as ARHD?

Perhaps I'm just missing something, but I followed these instructions to the letter and regardless, every time I open up the Google Now settings the top right on/off "switch" has defaulted back to off. Anybody having similar problems?
[HTC One X] otarinz:
Good write up, thank you! Installed the new Maximus ROM last night, got a cool Google Now surprise this morning.

Looked up the web sites of two computer stores and a restaurant menu on my desktop computer. Then picked up my phone, and cards had popped up showing directions to the stores and restaurant, with travel time estimates and traffic updates. Pretty cool!

Good selection of sports teams on there now, I'll be stoked when they expand the service with more offerings.

[HTC One X] Pietje_1985:
Hi,

you probably swiped away the card, for that moment the card is gone, but somehow it will turn up once you open up Google Now again. if not, sometimes, a reboot of your phone will show up the card afterwards., at least, for me this helps! :good::cyclops:

Good luck mate!

Nice thread! :good:

Just have a minor question, hope somebody can help me with that. I was wondering if Google Now needs Auto Sync been turned on permanently. It does save me alot of battery and data usage if I can leave it off. I think personally that Google will collect information anyway wih Now because I have my location settings turned on.

Can somebody tell me??

Thanks and I wil def follow this Thread!

[HTC One X] peredo.marco:
Now commands problem

I have my android system in english but i have configured google now voice recognition in spanish. The problem comes when I want a command like weather, questions, etc. Voice recognition captures correctly what I said in spanish but all it does is search for that text in Google, even if it is a command. The problem is solved when I change my voice recognition to english. Also tried to set my android system in spanish along with voice recognition in spanish and commands worked.

So my question... ¿how can i have my system and voice recognition in different languages using voice commands?

Thanks
[HTC One X] Pietje_1985:
Hi James,

sorry for my late reaction! I think it depends on if your Chrome Browser is the default browser on your device. When it is en and it's still giving you that message, I should check if it appears all the time or just when you're starting Google Now. If it does, maybe you should re install Chrome and try it again! :fingers-crossed:

Here it's working fine!

Good luck fella!

Regards,

Jeroen

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

That's because Google Now is only configured to give you reply or a card, whenever you put the voice command in English. Other languages are not supported yet to give you a spoken answer or card. You should put everything in English and then you'll see it works. Otherwise you should wait untill they have support for voice commands in Spanish! :)

Good luck!

Cheerio

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidDavi:
I agree with this. The only problem the nexus wasn't easy to get in the us. Once it is its up to the consumer. To choose hardwear or soft wear
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wind784:
While your slide is commendable it isn't entirely true. The only variants of the GN to be updated are the yakju and takju. There are many more variants running 4.0.4 and in the case of Canada's yakjuux variant 4.0.2 and lower. Until there are images or Ota available to upgrade those regional versions my opinion is that the nexus devices themselves are fragmented. I'm not even mentioning the toro models whom are still waiting. At least we have the option though to upgrade to jb easily on our own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Apple obviously sees android as competition, Google dosent. Showing up another competitor at you'd conference? Nice advertisement apple. #obviouslyscared
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
The whole argument about fragmentation revolves around updates. However, if you get a low end Android, the chances are that you don't care about having the latest version of Android. That's one of the key selling points of Android - there's a low end option for those with less desire to keep up with the Jones'.

If you get a high end phone, then it's a completely different story. i(couldcareless)OS typically gets one update a year. I believe the Galaxy Nexus had seen several updates already.

Some may claim that they are just bug fixes, but every update I've seen has had value added changes also...

When you add to that the fact that a number of iOS updates have actually slowed down older versions of the fruit phone, I can't help but think they have a weak argument...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleach168:
Apple has the same weakness as other manufacturers in that their main source of profits come from people buying new devices. This gives them a strong incentive to withhold features from older devices. We are already seeing this in action in the iPhone 4 which did not get Siri and is not getting turn-by-turn navigation. The original iPad was discontinued in March of 2011. The last update it got was October of 2011. So some owners of the iPad got as little as 7 months of support.

Google, otoh, makes money from online advertising, so they don't care if you buy a new phone or not, as long as you are online. Unlike iPhone 4 owners, Nexus S owners got the full Jelly Bean upgrade.

Apple fans love to throw the "f" word around and brag about their precious iDevice. They don't realize they are living in a glass house.

No one it's perfect....just look at windows phone, some guys bought a overpriced nokia lumia with 2010 hardware and they will be stuck on windows phone 7.x .

Most android devices are still with gingerbread because they cant run ics with low level hardware, some because the manufacter sucks....not google, they always deliver speedy updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
Of course Apple can have the majority of their devices on the latest OS - strip out the significant new features that you don't want older devices to have and push out the update to those devices. Pickup an iPhone 4s running iOS 5 and you'll have certain features and functionality. Pickup an iPhone 4 running "the same" OS, and you'll have less features and functionality. Pickup an iPhone... THAT'S FRAGMENTATION.

Tell any app developer that fragmentation is a choice, and they are likely to stomp your face into a mud puddle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Wow, even Apple's pie graphs have a metallic texture to them..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
I personally think OP is right. If you don't like fragmentation cm go with Nexus. Even the old Nexus S got the update... of course, you won't get the best of both hardware and software, but let's be honest, Apple hardware is ****ing lousy too... I mean come on! 800mhz processor? Small 3.5 inch screen? It's pathetic compared to galaxy nexus. Yes, the new iPhone probably will be better than galaxy nexus, but Google will probably come up with something much better later on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
So how exactly does that help app developers?

...it doesn't. Nexus devices are notorious for being one of the least common devices in a lineup of its peers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
+1 I wanted Sony or HTC to make it, but now I'm leaning towards Motorola. They have the best package all around, especially with Google picking everything. Which hopefully means no pen tile, definitely no locked boot loader, bigger battery, best radio, and nice beautiful design and durability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmericanCon:
As much as I love Motorolas hardware, their design is far from beautiful Imo. They look too... Rugged or something, not elegant.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hannes The Hun:
or think about the verizon nexus hardware....

I guess OP is very proud of his ingenius idea but it just doesn't help end the argument. with android, hardware & manufacturer is a choice. that's the truth. but this still results in fragmentation. so the solution for OP is for everybody to stop buying non-Nexus devices? did OP understand the basic concept behind Android?

that's why Google needs to talk hardware partners into providing more Nexus devices and also needs to take care of firmware releases for these.
