Hi,

Ive had the red triangle on the latest OTA update so ive flashed the latest RUU to get that update anyways.. 1 problem is that there is no Dutch language support for it ( only German, English, Spanish, French, Italien and Polish ) Is there any way to get Dutch back? Ive downloaded the RUU through XDA topic from Filefactory: 3.33.401.6

Found the solution in the Play Store :P ( set language app )

I assume there was supposed to be a link included in your post? I'm curious, with my residence in LA, another major metro area.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 2k4mach:
lol that article is a joke, sprint is indeed improving the backhaul on the nv/LTE towers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
I've passed thru pasadena on the 210 and nv is goin strong in that area. I was getting 3mbps 3g. It's good stuff.

I thought this was going to another one of those great "class action lawsuit" threads.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Aw man, a service that's been available for two weeks doesn't work perfectly for me, they must be doing something wrong!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ascertion:
Lol. Sprints network is much faster than 6 to 8 mbs dl, it's just what they can guarantee. It's always better to underestimate the network rather than overestimate it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ipclark1:
I've been using it every day and that's actaually exactly what I get: 6-8MGPS. I hope it improves of course. In fact 6-8 works fine for me, I was just doing some research on why it is so much slower than the RAZORMAx I also have-pulling down 30+ in the same spot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ipclark1:
Bro that really wasn't my point whatsoever. But since you brought it up, my thunderbolt pulled down 30+ the day Verizon flipped on LTE so I don't think what your saying really holds up here?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Worst article ever....completely lacks any knowledge of what's going on in the NV buildout at all....if they did then they wouldn't of wasted their time writting that article bc sprint is upgrading backhaul to microwave or fiber based everywhere during this rollout...soooooo much is being done and changed its insane to think what this article points to...basically the only thing that will be the same when this is done is the freaking tower structure itself!

For those that don't know what's going on nor the details, take some time to go read up on everything and grasp some knowledge and be better educated on it all please....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ipclark1:
Thanks. That helps also. Again, I was just sitting here , with two phones , both connected to their repective LTE networks , and wanted to understand why such a speed discrepency. That was the first article I found. I didn't present it as fact. You sound like you know what your talking about. Can you link me to anything that will help me better understand why I see such speed differences on such similar technology? ( full signal bars on both).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
s4gru.com

take a week and read around all over there....

Verizon is using a 10x10MHz LTE network while Sprint's is only 5x5MHz....BUT VZ has a butt load more subscribers on their network than sprint so in the end they need more capacity anyway to start....

Most of the complaints from sprints current build out have been b/c they are announcing markets as live when only roughly 25% towers are live and ready....

Sprint is also building their network out to have a higher average speed as opposed to a higher peak speed,....something I completely agree with tbh, as I would much rather avg 7-10Mbps all the time(with the peak of 20ish) than peak out on a speed test at 30 every now and then....also whats the real honest need for 30Mbps connection on your phone anyway?...if your looking to replace your home Internet connection with this then I can see the need, otherwise I dont get the strong need for 30Mbps speed DL on a phone right now....yeah itll help out with the file downloads some but other than that?.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ipclark1:
Completely agree. Id rather have consistency all day as well. And, as I posted earlier, I'm completely fine with the 6-8 I'm getting (who needs more than that on a phone really?) , I just got to wondering why the speeds were so drastically different between the two.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
consistency is key..I'd much rather be blanketed in LTE.that I know what speeds to expect..I'm not dling large files on the go anyways..that's why I have da wifiz..anything above 5 will suit me ..I get 20 mbs DowN at home.with WiFi and hd YouTube (app)still buffers constantly..shoot id be happy with consistent 2-3 mbs 3g
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] VECTUS:
Spot on...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
usually am....:D

another note though....as noted over there, there are infact places in Chicago that are having sites completed before backhaul is in place, which would explain the results some have experienced....backhaul connections are "supposed" to be in place before sites go live but there are instances this isn't the case evidently....its rare but it has happened....

regardless though, its a temporary situation and easy/quick fix once its ready and the provider has their ish in gear and backhaul in place...

Where, in Chicago, are you that you're getting any LTE connection at all? Because LTE isn't active in Chicago, yet... lol If you're in a far-south suburb, you may be connecting to Hammond, Indiana's network. Reports in other Chicago areas have been sporadic, at best.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Mine was in Joliet and Shorewood, both southwest suburbs. Definitely not picking up Hammond...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Semantics:
Meh, people who are expecting 4G to be 20MB/S are fooling themselves. I live in a city of about 90k people, the entire area is blanketed in Verizon and AT&T LTE and speedtests in my city for both companies are normally 4MB/S down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ipclark1:
Well, 4G ICON popped on last Tuesday for me in Itasca. I posted about it but someone took it down because it wasn't relevant I guess( which surprised me). Anyway I've been on all day during office hours only(im guessing here but it cuts off by 8PM , everytimr ive worked late it hasn't been on) I took a ton of screenshots ( googlemaps,opensignal,speedtest ) but I'm not allowed to post them .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ipclark1:
And I Can only speak to my area, but never anything less than 15 down on Verizon LTE ( northwest suburbs Chicago). I have cable at home so it really is not important to me whatsoever. I personally am just trying to educate myself on the technology for curiosities sake, to better understand why the different LTE networks produce different speeds, and people smarter than myself have really been helpful here I must say. The ones turning this into a pissing contest are misguided.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Man these are some fast 3g speeds, and sorry slaughter;) It's 19976 kilobits :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] redhatter:
This should final give a clue to people that wimax vs lte was NEVER the issue...the bs that lte was faster ..IT WAS THE DAM SPRINT CLEARWIRE NETWORK...not wimax that was / is the problem
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
most everyone should show ping of sub 100ms for 3G and LTE once the upgrades are done....for most part they will be sub 100ms but ive seen ppl show them a little higher....still though the days of +500ms pings should be loooooong gone once things are complete.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkaic:
Just finished installing a new theme (Evangelion NERV theme) and I want to customize my bootanimation aswell. I put the bootanimation.zip file in /system/media and rebooted. There was no animation, so I checked various sources online to try and find an answer (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-change-customize-create-android-boot-animation-guide/) but I couldn't find an answer to my question.

I changed the H*W in the desc file, nothing changed, still a black screen where the bootanimation should be -.-.

Any help? please and thank you

EDIT

forgot to mention that in the the desc file, the H*W was set at 320*320, I changed it to 480*800. Don't know if this does anything or not. Apparently lower resolution bootanimations should run fine on higher end devices according to this source:

"As a rule, a boot animation made for a lower resolution device will run fine on a high resolution one but it will be centered on the screen, with the extra screen space around it not being used. Using a high resolution boot animation on a low resolution device will result in the boot animation not fully displaying on the screen, with its outer parts being cut off due to being outside the screen’s bounds."
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpurohit:
After placing the bootanimation, did you set the permission for it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkaic:
Yea I set full permissions on /system /media and bootanimation.zip. I re-zipped the the bootanimation in STORE mode. I changed the H*W to 480*800 and once on 480*480 because that was the default that came with cyanogenmod. I did everything that I could find online/think of. Hopefully someone has an idea, I could try posting the bootanimation if anyone is interested in having a look.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpurohit:
yes pls post it. I will have a look tonite

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpurohit:
hey mate sorry for late response... i see you have on folder with named as part another with something else.

I would suggest you to download any running boot animation and check out its folder structure or just move ur images into it and delete all the images from that and while zipping do not use compression.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I'm giving my daughter my iPad Gen.1 and grabbing a Nexus 7 but just saw a report at Anandtech showing the nexus 16 considerably date then the 8gb version...

Kind of puzzled why this would be, can anyone shine a little light on why this is?

Sent from my GSII w/ICS SHOstock2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
It's mentioned right in the article. The 16gb uses a faster eMMC controller. Also, this specifically affects read/write performance, not other types of performance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captpt:
Thanks for the reply AZim,

so overall we wouldn't see or feel the difference between the two? I do understand it was mentioned in the article but I'd rather hear it from you the everyday users, especially if you had the opportunity to compare then side by side... Financially I'd rather go for the 8gb version but if there is a big advantage going for the 16 other then memory space then I'd hold off until I could swing it..

Sent from my GSII w/ICS SHOstock2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
I only have the 16gb, so I can't really compare them side by side, but even though I said that it only affects read/write performance, it could in theory have a cascading effect in slowing things down. For example, if you're playing an intensive game, it could take longer to load things like textures, which might require the game to slow everything else down while texture loading catches up. In practice though, it seems unlikely that you'd really notice since it even mentions in the article that the 8gb's performance is still very good, just not as good as the 16gb.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captpt:
I totally agree but sering how high ranked (#1) the 16gb is listed and if the 8gb was ranked #2 I wouldn't have asked but it drops 4-5 spots which made me wonder...

Well bids started rolling in so off to Staples I went and all Nexus 7s were sold out and they had no idea when more will be arriving.

Now the big question: TO ROOT OR NOT TO ROOT :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AZImmortal:
Whether or not you decide to root, definitely unlock the bootloader first because if you unlock it, you'll have to wipe the device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
agreed, and the only reason you would ever have to lock it again would be to either give it away locked or to return it to google so you'd never have to wipe it :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnwojcik:
does anyone know how to share a folder with only certain android users on my network?

I can find info to do it with two windows machines. from what i understand you have to create the user name of the viewing machine in the computer that hosts the folder. but how would I do that with an androd device.

when I right click computer/manage/shared folders/shares.

then right click a folder/properties/share permissions/add/advanced/find now.

i get a list of user types but i have no idea how to add just one android device or what to type in as the name

I have tried using the name of my phone on an evo 3d i went to settings/about phone/phone identity. but i figured that wouldnt work anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
I have no idea about winbugs share tool, but an easy way is to use Dropbox to store the folder. Then, you can install the app and log in using the same user and password on several devices.

that is a good way to share. but is not a ideal for large files or streaming over my network.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] brokenmouse:
I've got an CDMA Evo 3D that I've rooted and nearly bricked several times with this ICS update. It's fine now though.

My wife has been bugging me to root her phone for wifi tether. At a glance, the method looks the same:

- Using HTCDev to unlock phone.

- Flash TWRP recovery

- Flash SuperUser

- Install Busybox, Wifi Tether, etc.

I'm not really concerned about S-OFF because we're pretty much just using the stock roms (at least she is), though I know that it makes things easier.

Questions:

- Can I use the same SuperUser zip that I used for my EVO 3D or are they different?

- If I somehow screw up, I can just relock phone, RUU, unlock phone and re-root like I can with my 3D?

- When I had my EVO 4G the basic concepts were still the same, but everything was much simpler (no attempt to downgrade Hboot, wire-trick, etc.). Can I assume that the 4G LTE is the same basic setup as my 3D or is it a completely different beast when it comes to rooting roms? Am I going to have to relearn everything? It doesn't seem so.

Thanks in advance for any input!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:

Hi, I've owned a few different iPods, still using the latest Classic and have owned a few Androids, using a Sony Xperia. One huge issue (out of a few) regarding music synching for me is that iPods have always synched very quickly to me. I have tried most media players you can think of, a few different Android phones, using many tests and they sync very slowly. I'm talking about 32GB or so of music. If I ask my iPod to do that, it does it in about one third of the time, no joke. How? Is it the cable? Do Apple cables have facilitate higher transfer speeds than others? Is it the software on the iPod and in iTunes?

Even if I just get my phone and iPod to copy the most recent 30 songs I added to my collection, all of my Androids would take a few mins to do that and my iPod would have that done in about 40 seconds. I want to know how! :confused:
[Off-topic] 063_XOBX:
If your Android phone has an sd card the songs can only transfer as fast as it's class permits. So if you have a class 2 don't expect much.
[Off-topic] SharpnShiny:
Ah ha - yes, I forgot about that - SD Class. Do you know of the top of your head what kind of class I may have to get to compare favourably to an iPod?

Not comparing to iPods or anything else, I read lots of the discussions on here and lots of people said go with San Disk class 4, that it beats many higher classes at the 32GB level. Whatever the case, I'd be happy to to experiment. I'm currently using the San Disk 32GB class 4 and it is terrible compared to my iPod Classic.

Also, would fragmentation on a phone SD card likely be a significant problem? Maybe that's another area the iPods win - ROMs aren't switched like a light switch.

I'm looking at audio quality also but transfer speed is the big problem I want fixed on my next purchase. I found this on GSM Arena:

Phone Voice, dB	Pink noise/ Music, dB

Sony Xperia Sola 60.9	59.0

HTC One V 66.9 65.3

Apple iPhone 4S 65.8	64.5

Most newer iPods have flash memory which will write much faster than most SD cards ( I don't have numbers off the top of my head but definitely faster than a class 4 sd card).

I use devices from all manufacturers, so I promise I'm not a fan boy, but I like how iPods and iTunes work. iTunes transfers at least one song or podcast to my iPod every second, while my Android takes 4-5 seconds for each song. I have 32GB of music and at that stage, it gets tedious! I have staring at how long it takes.

I've been looking around and did find some SD cards at class 10 that transfer up to 30mbps, and on eBay that aren't expensive. That looks like the main issue (I think), with Android the bottleneck is SD class i.e. performance. :good:

Well, I just contacted my phone manufacturer and they said their phones have been tested on class 2 and class 4 SD cards. She advised me 'not to purchase a class 10 as it will likely not work with any of their phones'. :( There must be someone around who has tested this.
