If LTE is that important, I would hold off on your upgrade until a phone is offered with LTE.

Personally I like the build quality of HTC. I will be holding off on my upgrading until my phone bites the dust or a decent phone it's offered. CPU and network speed are important, but I want decent battery life.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
N4 has nothing on the gs3, and I don't like the gs3 either but it's obviously it's for sure better.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
I would sacrifice a child to the god of Android for an HTC phone with all the goods of the Nexus 4 and LTE.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
Same here. HTC in my opinion make the better and best looking phones. I wouldn't switch to another. HTC has all the eye candy I need on a phone. HTC devices never get boring.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
The HTC J Butterfly gives me a chubby. I would jump carriers for that baby.
[myTouch 4G General] siloner:
The thing is, the more I use this phone the more I get attatched to it lol. I'm also worried the N4 will be a bust and ill hate myself for giving up the s3

[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
I've got a sneaky suspicion it's headed for AT&T or Verizon.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Fingers crossed for Verizon. I REALLY don't want to go to AT&T.
[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
When I lived in SoFla, Cingular was the best! The only AT&T service I've had is U-verse and really I had no complaints.

Why Verizon over AT&T?
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
They're A-holes. Verizon charges more, but they take really good care of their customers and their network is bloody everywhere.
[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
Verizon does rate the highest in JD Power surveys.

Imagine, LTE on Verizon's network? You would never give T-Mobile another thought.

On a different note, what is your take on Windows 8?
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Windows 8 is fantastic. Microsoft has their crap together on this. The thing that keeps me from considering it is that I need to be able to overhaul my UI regularly, and while you can can change the tiles, as well as their size, location and color, I need more than that. I have to stick with Android. Functionally, it's great.
[myTouch 4G General] 0.0:
i dont think it will be a bust. according to the video on The Verge, it stated that google helped in the engineering process of the phone. so its more of a collaboration. also, google is in control of the software side, so you wont be too disappointed. if you NEED lte, then dont get it. but it does have 42mbps. thats pretty darn fast
[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
While I cannot drop Windows at work, I find myself spending less and less time on my notebook at home. I hope Surface takes off and Google has an answer for it.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Windows 8 is awesome for me as well. The people that say that it sucks are either referring to the app store or their inability to accept change (in most cases). Its honestly where things should be going and it makes multitasking SO easy and productive. Microsoft has my money.

On another note, Verizon also has the biggest LTE network, i think it covers close to what T-Mobile's 3G network covers in terms of population lol. Plus, verizon has decent phones. Galaxy Note 2, GS3, iP5, Droid Razrs, an HTC incredible X would make the lineup complete
[myTouch 4G General] siloner:
Already decided to return it tomorrow. I'm on T-Mobile so no lte for me yet and when it's out, I'll just use my upgrade lol
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
it's only good if you got a touchscreen. what's the point of windows 8 on a laptop...? O_o
[myTouch 4G General] I2IEAILiiTY:
There's no need for LTE at the moment anyways. Big whoop if you can download a video a minute faster or load some youtube video 5 seconds faster. Speaking for myself, I'm pretty sure I'd live.
[myTouch 4G General] simplyrafa8:
Agreed. I really see no damn reason for those type of speeds on a phone. I NEVER download anything huge on my phone through mobile data, and I rarely stream Netflix or anything like that. Heck, I would just want me some damn 3g or HSPA where I live. All I have is edge. And yes, I have tried LTE and HSPA speeds; and to me, HSPA is more than enough!

the question for you is...why would you even try to play that game on this device? :p
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
I wanted to be as future proof as possible. Also, last time I took a road trip, my wife and I had either edge or no signal for several days. It was horrible. I was cussing T-mobile like crazy. If I was in Southern CA still thus wouldn't be an issue. I had to go way out into the high desert before signal became an issue.
[myTouch 4G General] 0.0:
but also its not just for the USA, but its global as well. globally, i dont think all carriers have LTE like in the U.S., 3 of 4 major carriers have LTE but all different frequencies (which can be a problem in itself)
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Apple has a global iphone and ipad with lte, Google could have done it

Friend I work with told me to download it and try it out. Figured it'd work since it shows up in the market.

It works, but barely.
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
That may be true but they still could have added an LTE radio and just used a radio with Verizon bands or something like that. It could have been done, it was probably because nobody wanted an LG phone lol
[myTouch 4G General] Bangincrazy:
Nexus 4 or S3, choices choices
[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
The S3 has been out for about 8 months. Depending on what carrier you go with, the S4 should be out in 4 months or so. By that time you will know if the Nexus 4 is a bust.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
There are over 40 LTE bands worldwide. Even U.S. carriers have multiple bands. There is no chip out there that can handle them all. I understand why Google chose not incorporate LTE. It makes perfect sense. the Nexus 4 can still use any GSM network in the world. That's really cool. I'm saying that once I drive 30 miles in any direction my service goes to crap. Therefore I may need to switch carriers, and since the other carriers all have LTE, I'll probably just go ahead and hold out for an LTE phone on Verizon I can't live without. The Incredible X is looking pretty good.

Bloody contract doesn't expire until February... I'm going to cry.
[myTouch 4G General] 4Orr:
Does it have HDMI out?
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
Lucky you, my contract isn't up until august
[myTouch 4G General] siloner:
Its set. I returned the s3 and got my upgrade back. I'm gonna use the money for the N4 :D
[myTouch 4G General] Synthetic.Nightmare:
Good answer. LG could always redeem themselves, especially with the help of Google, besides your plan a few pages back seems like a good one. I want to get the N4 but there's going to be a lot of changes in my life after these next two months so now idk if its a good idea to spend money where its not quite needed to be spent.
[myTouch 4G General] Bangincrazy:
I'm still not sure. I have till Dec 3rd to decide
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
I dialed 611 today and asked when my contract expires, since I'm thinking of jumping ship due to poor reception. The guy told me that while he understands, he would be happy to give me a couple of free updated SIMs (for my wife and I) to, hopefully, improve my signal. I went by a T-mobile store to pick them up and decided to look at the Note II. They didn't have one on display for security reasons, but one of the salesman yanked one from a drawer and let me play with it. It felt a little sluggish, so I enabled developer options and changed the animation speeds to .5X. That seemed to help a little. The guy thanked me and it seemed genuine...

I was driving home when I realized that, while there, I was the biggest nerd in a room of nerds. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I've reached a point where the only people that teach me anything about Android are you guys. Here's to my e-family!

By the way, it would have cost me $437 and change to take a Note II home. Pass...
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
If you don't have an emotional attatchment to T-Mo and you have some extra money, jumping ship is probably the best option. Did the new sims improve your signal?
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Not sure. I haven't gotten to drive around and do some comparisons. We'll see.

Edit: Let me just say that I doubt it will make a difference. A new SIM will not make signal magically appear where it wasn't previously. As far as I understand it, the radio handles all cell service. Not sure how the SIM can help. If anyone knows more on this, enlighten me.

What radio are you using? Personally I've tried everyone of them, but in the end I've return to the stock Froyo.

I realize it is dependent on your area, but I've lived in SoFla, the north west and now in Texas and the radio has performed well.

Well, the glacier came out in Sep 2010. At the time it was the most powerful phone in the U.S. on paper. There are already quad core phones 2 years later. That means Moore's law has been left in the dust. If you want to go get a 6 month old phone that was already considerably reduced in processing power for the U.S. market, well, that's absolutely your perogative. At least development has had a good start.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
I don't know about the timely updates, there hasn't been a carrier yet to prove that one yet so it's hard to commit to something based on that assumption till it's actually happened and with LG at the wheel considering their past I'll be surprised if it turns on lol. Meh you never know right.
[myTouch 4G General] estallings15:
Hahaha. That was awesome.

I was pretty disappointed when I heard LG was making a Nexus, but everything I've read reports the build quality as dyno-supreme. I guess Google didn't want a repeat of that cheap feeling Galaxy Nexus. One of the articles I read said that after messing with the Optimus G the author figured the Nexus 4 would feel just as cheap, but was pleasantly surprised to find that it did not at all. I need to get my mitts on one and decide for myself.

[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
No offense to any women that might be around but they have held the lovin against us guys for centuries in order to get what they want, I'm living proof that it can work for men also. I hold off for a couple of months if I have to and I know what all you guys are thinking (this dude flipped his wig) but I'm no longer the one asking and women can be very creative when they've waited long enough, why should us guys have to bend over backwards to keep them happy when they hold out. Equal rights is for all aspects of the phrase and the days of women holding off to be the upper hand in a situation can totally change if you just not say anything about it and pass till they figure out something is up.

Hello,

I have Samsung Galaxy S II 4G for T-Mobile and I want to get it unlocked since I am travelling to India. I did check the list at http://unlockliberty.com for their unlock code. I was not able to find Samsung Galaxy S II 4G in that list. Can I select Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and get the same unlock code? In case Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE is not correct, then which phone in that list can I select which is similar to Samsung Galaxy S II 4G for T-Mobile for unlocking?

Thanks so much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Estimated Prophet Hawk:
SGSII Hercules (T989) is the TMobile/Telus version. They both have hspa+ radios which is not really 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EnigmaticGeek:
No they are not the same. LTE is a completely different type of hardware/software used to produce a signal from the towers. Best bet is to call Samsung or Tmobile (if you still use them) to produce the code for you. I used to work in tech support for T Mobile and the unlock code only takes about 24 hours to get to you. At least it never took any longer then that when I was working there. Good luck to you thought :)
[Motorola Droid 3] lzy0702:
The kexec has pre-overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz, and the old method to adjust the overclock options became invaild.

Is there any way to adjust the options? Like the frequence and voltage, even to overclock the GPU.
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
You need a kernel (or module) built with these options allowed. Currently you can only drop down the speed of the CPU. Once things are stabilized, I'm sure we will see overclocking, voltage changes, GPU overclock, etc.

You can't. Your cpu is programed stock to be 1.2 GHz but Moto underclocked it for "stock Droid 3" speeds.

You'll notice that the wallpaper has the icons already there. Now, how would I make the icons clickable. Are the icons invisible, if so what do I need to do this?

Okay it's a .psd but how would I then make the icons clickable within Apex?

I'm slightly confused...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] SilencerOfLambs:
Make a transparent icon with Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.

Then use Desktop Visualizer from the Android market.

Using this app put the icon you created over the specific part of the wallpaper(where the actual icon is) and then using Desktop visualizer assign an app to that transparent icon.So when you click the transparent icon,it will appear as if you are clicking the icon on the wallpaper.Hope i was clear..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] droid_1989:
Just a quick question.

Photoshop - you mean on a computer? it's not a problem, I have it.

Also, whats the best dimensions? and what do I save it as, a .PNG? Jpeg? or PSD?
