[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
I never had a phone on att that worked worth a damn (iPhone back when I didn't know how truely evil apple was) on 3g but I have seen others on att do well on 3g. But 3g works well for me on Verizon. I use it all the time since it doesn't hog battery like 4g which is great in my area. But when I'm running a speestest on 3g with my buddy and his HTC evo 3d next to me and I pull almost 2.0mbps down and 1 up and he barely pulls a .5 down and .1 up with his 400ms ping, Verizon's 3g is the **** lol. But you are right att 3g is better, their 4g is garbage through. Everyone i know barely pulls 7-8 down on att 4g while I'm flying by them at 40mbps while streaming Pandora in the background :D
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea I mean if atts service didn't literally make me mad, I would still use them just for the phones.. Verizon's is the only one I've had that I actually notice how good it is. The phones and the lock down aren't that great that ¦~\ but service is first and foremost. Plus on LTE I've never had lower than 11 down and 2 up (its usually over 15 and under 40 up, with over 5 down) and I've been across states down south in 4G areas... ATT and TMO and Sprint don't compare in places Ive been down here. Plus my 3G speeds are as fast and their 4G pretty often and that's unacceptable to me.

Pitty there isn't unlimited anymore and some gooder phones lulz :p
[HTC Rezound] Evocm7:
We can thank the bastards that have usenet accounts and use 50-100+gb per month for that one. It really is useless, they probably just have one for the sole purpose of racking up as much data as possible. :mad:
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I don't really think that's the reason... But I'm sure they considered that as well... I think it's because they own so much spectrum that they can increase the price of whatever they want and people will pay for it... Plus ATT started the teird data garbage. Verizon followed a year later... Then Verizon started the share plan garbage.. now ATT has followed that. It's all about money. Data used to be a lot cheaper once upon a time, but not as good persay.. Personally I think they should still have unlimited 4G and capped 3G or vice versa... Idk though... Meh it is what it is.
[HTC Rezound] psykhotic:
The shared plans really jack up the price if you have dumbphones. Vzw would grandfather me in for $140 (170 shared) but the same at tmo is $95. Plus if I go over 2gb I'm not hit with a $15/gb fine. Oh and after 20 months, or I pay my phones off, my plan drops to $65.

Their new highspeed unlimited is cool but doesn't include tethering. All in all it's still insanely cheaper. But the moral is these new shared plans are just a way to force us to pay more. Sucks.
[HTC Rezound] merlin66676:
I am really starting to think we should push our govt reps to split the wireless monopolies like they have with power and land phone lines years ago. Better for the consumer in the end.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Usually getting the government involved can make things worse. I do agree that it can help certain things like out electricity and water at home.

But, the cellphone market is fine. If the price gets too high, you have a choice. You can get a pay-as-you-go phone for like $20 a month. That's capitalism.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I want my next phone to be a nexus so I will get quick updates, and get updates for more years than I'd get from Verizon. I really wish cell companies got out of the software update business.

I really like my rezound, but hated all those months of false announcement of ICS release, false leaked information, leaked versions, etc.. Now other phones have jelly beans, and jb might never come to the rezound.

Of course nexus phones are GSM HSPA+ at this time. No LTE probably because every cell service company makes their LTE service different and incompatible with each other on purpose. GSM is more a world wide standard used by over a hundred countries.

One approach is a galaxy nexus purchased directly from Google and use tmobile. If I can't get the fast data speed from T-Mobile where I live, then I can switch to their prepaid service of 10 cents per minute and 10 cents per text, and get data via WiFi at home and at work.

if one brings his own phone, then T-Mobile has no contracts. if not satisfied, just leave the next month. What a novel approach.

Another way to use any phone one wants is to carry around a Verizon jetpack for data. if one wants data when in a non-wifi area, then carry the jetpack with you.

Another Verizon jetpack option is to use Skype or Google voice for phone calls and texting instead of a T-Mobile prepaid plan.

I have a year left to my Verizon contract, but the savings might be worth paying a cancellation penalty. Perhaps upgrading to a jetpack isn't a cancellation?

There are supposed to be several new nexus devices to be announced later this year.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
There are so many new things happening in the near future, I think it is best to wait and see what happens.

T-Mobile is building an LTE network. Will it be standardized or will only T-Mobile phones work on it?

Verizon is buying new frequency spectrum. Will all current Verizon phones become obsolete and unusable on Verizon in a few years? I think Verizon likes being unique where only its phones can operate on its network.

There are articles about LTE being incorporated into some general purpose chip which will eliminate the additional battery drain we have with LTE. Perhaps LTE will join GSM on newer unlocked phones. Maybe LTE will join GSM as a world wide standard where an unlocked phone works everywhere in the world except on Verizon's network?

Google is adding 5 nexus devices this year.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rvenes:
Im now on 5th day with my TF700T.

So far it have been mixed feelings about it.

I love the keyboard, dont think i can have a tab without a keyboard in the future.

There is also no other tablet out there that have what I want.

The thing that worries me a bit is the lag on the device. Sometimes I must wait several seconds before it responds. And this is not the touch screen, becouse when I just wait, it will do what i wanted. This is not fun when you are sufring a simple webpage.

Will Asus fix this lag in the Jelly Bean 4.1 update?

How about people that have rooted (custom rom) their devices, do they have the same issues?
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
ummm, i dont think anyone on here can answer that question. JB is a google OS update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Try resetting

Then check the firmware version.

The only delays I see after tapping are when web browsing.

Everything else is snappy as far as snappy can be under Android.

Are you running in the balanced mode?
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
First thing I did was root mine and freeze all of the useless crap they preinstall. Havent ever had any lag issues.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
I'm in the same boat as the OP. Have had the tablet just less then a week. I very surprised at just how poor the performance is on this. Here are some of the issues I'm having:

-If I leave the web browser app for other apps and then come back to it, my web pages reload. It's like the multitasking fail that is present on the HTC EVO 4G LTE or HTC One series only not as pronounced.

-Some Flash heavy websites are so choppy and laggy. Scrolling is very choppy.

-The Netflix app is almost unusable. Scrolling through my queue seems like it's getting about 5 frames per second. Oddly enough, actually watching movies plays perfectly if I can manage to scroll to select the right movie

-Some games, even ones that are promoted through the Tegra Zone are very laggy.

I really want to love this tab. It's so great for me in so many other ways but I can't live with it if this is what I can expect

I'm rooted, not unlocked, stock ROM. I've been running in performance mode. I've tried with and without Nova Launcer. I've removed or frozen everything I dare to using TB. I've looked through this and other forums for tips on improving performance but so far nothing has helped. Do I have a lemon? Are these problems common? Is this what this tab is? Please help, really want to get this thing running like I'm pretty sure it can.
[Asus Transformer TF700] vegandroid:
im going to go ahead and assume that asus had a bad batch of tf700t's go out. i had one with the same problem and i returned it, got a new and havent experienced the same problem again. so fast and snappy that jellybean will just make this tablet crazy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Svashtar:
Because of some problems i have with my pad i have decided to factory reset it a week ago.

Since than the experience is sooo much better. Didn't solve my problem though :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Not sure what to tell you...

I don't have any really bad slowness.

Kind of sounds like a bad processor or gpu core or other hardware bug like maybe ram errors.

IMO wouldn't say these are common problems.

*Just curious does your serial# on the bottom of the tablet start with a C6 or is it C7?
[Asus Transformer TF700] AnakiMana:
No problems here, either. I haven't rooted or done anything to mine except install updates and some apps I like - nothing that alters it really. Super happy with mine. Sorry you're having problems, but maybe you should exchange it, as previously suggested.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flyhighx:
C6. From Amazon maybe 4 days ago. Is that older or more known to have issues. I'm still well within my return period from Amazon. If C7 is known to be better it would be worth it to me to return it and buy it from a store where I can look at the serial number on the box first. Thanks for the replies... Didn't mean to hijack the thread but it seems the op and I are having the same issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] habiru:
i have a c7 that i bought from amazon on 8/10 with similar issues
[Asus Transformer TF700] rvenes:
Maybe i should exchange mine then.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
Ah...

You might want to return for a replacement.

I have a C7 serial and have no bugs with the tablet I received from Amazon.

No guarantees yet it might be worth shot. Amazon will treat you right.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
whats the difference between c6 and c7?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rvenes:
Where do you find the serial number?

on the dock?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
The tablet serial number can be found on the box the tablet came in and on the bottom of the tablet itself on a sticker (on the part of the tablet that would go into the dock if you use one).

The only difference between a C6 serial number and a C7 serial number is that one was manufactured in June and one in July (the number after the C is the month it was manufactured in)....
[Asus Transformer TF700] rvenes:
Then mine is c80ka
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Maybe we should start a new thread and track the serial #s and their defects. Good way to compare range of serials with defects and spot unfixed junk that might be sold as refurbished later
[Asus Transformer TF700] clenz:
For my limited use, the lag and freezing was driving me nuts. Of course, I've been down this road before with the Prime. Eventually the Prime community found the tweaks and mods to make it fly, and I admit it was part of the fun to experiment and find ways to squeeze more performance and stability from the tablet.

My problems with the Infinity seem to exacerbate when RAM goes below 200k. I can see this from the Cool Tool widget. When I get below this level, the browser is generally unusable. I use a tool called startup cleaner to minimize what launches and tried to keep widgets to a minimum but my RAM seemed to always run low. Based on this same experience with the Prime, I changed the setting in developer options to limit background processes to 2. This does a good job keeping RAM above 400K, and when I do this it runs very well. No lag or ANRs, and everything seems very fluid.

This was an early temp fix with the Prime until other mods caught up, so I don't expect this to be required long term. However, the results are really are dramatic so far and enough to keep me from going the Note 10.1 route.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
That's a good tweak, and one I hadn't tried before, so thanks!

If you're unlocked, I would advise you to run...don't walk, and flash TWRP recovery and then the Zeus rom v 4.0. This is a totally different machine on that rom.

There is also the trick of turning off animations in Developer Options or set the scale to .5. That helps with smoothness, too.

My advice is not to exchange over simple lagginess if all other hardware issue are ok. There is so much more that can and will be done on the software side, but if you exchange, what if you get a tab with a major hw problem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rawdawgroy:
Is there anyway to get the status bar (pull down) from*Team Kang & Whitehawkx's Official AOKP JellyBean + Butter Rom.... I love touchwiz and think it's better than aokp but but that drop down is just badass, I like how it shows the contact picture when you have a miss call/text and how you can change the picture in the back ground
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] P06o:
Run aokp with the touchwiz 5 theme. You'll get the look of the s3 with the customization of aokp
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] qq79437158:

[Networking] larry_2k4:
I have the HTC EVO 4g LTE phone with PDANet 3.5. I'm trying to tether it from laptop to my ps3. I did the following steps:

Set the network to allow sharing to local area connection.

On my ps3, I went to wired connection, custom, and automic throughout the set up, etc.

Now my issue is when I test it, I sometimes get failed or succeeded. But when I get succeeded for ip address and internet connection, I get a fail for ps network.

Please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlakeSRT:
I was wondering if someone knows a way [if there is one] to move the position of the clock in the status bar to the center instead if the far right on the T989?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
AOKP and CM have options in the ROM to move to have center clock.

Sent from JMT Goodness :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlakeSRT:
I'm running Ericwills Cm10. I can only find the option to hide the clock. Some reason xda app is getting error when I tried tapping on your reply
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Hmm, my mistake. AOKP ICS has it it in ROM control for sure. Maybe CM9 to.

Sent from JMT Goodness :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlakeSRT:
It's alright appreciate the help anyway :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
If you like I could mod the systemui for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
off topic a little but elesbb what program are you using to compile/decompile I am getting mad errors everytime I try.

I use APK Multi-Tool, AutoAPKTool2.0.4a
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mongo41:
You have to make sure you have the latest aapt app installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
now I thought I did but in the event I did not can you send me your version or link me to what you use. I want to mirror someone else who has it working. Lord knows I have downloaded a million different things... Oh yea and thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Yep and you have to use the modded apktool. Have everything working. Did a couple battery mods ^-^

Yeah when I get my laptop working again I'll zip everything I have. I even wrote a batch file to simply my process.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlakeSRT:
Really that is very nice of you to offer. Only if it's not to much work :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
It is but it isn't lol. The initial set up was a pain but now that it's all downloaded and ready to go it's not too much ^-^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BlakeSRT:
That is super nice of you I really appreciate man thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
No problem. Prolly have it done by tomorrow :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SuperPanda:
I'm trying to install a sprint rom on my vzw nexus phone (to setup page plus).

I've tried perfect rom, it complains about the build.prop. When I change the build.prop references to toroplus to toro, it fails to install (no explanation).

I've also tried installing the stock from Odin, and Nandroid, with no progress. Can someone point me to a sprint rom I can install on my phone( any rom with the diag tools would be ok)?

The phone is in a rooted vzw rom with the bootloader unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
You can't do that. The rom needs to match the phone verison

Vzw phones need Vzw roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gagb1967:
If you keep doing that you are going to end up bricked. It does not work that way, they are different phones
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amphibliam:
Generally looking for ways to bypass safety mechanisms is a bad idea.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
Ok so i have noticed something, I'm in virginia beach and my data speeds are faster when charging. Also they slowdown as the battery goes down. I did 3 speed test while at 45% 30% 15% and my speeds where 0.55 mbps 0.25 mbps and 0.01 mbps. Now I'm charging and i did 3 test (same app and my phone is in the same location) and just got 1.01 mbps 1.10 mbps and 1.35 mbps. So does the amount of voltage in the battery affect the amount of power to the radio? This is the first phone it's done it on..... Like my CPU doesn't get slower as the battery goes down so why are my data speeds?

Edit: I'm on the LG8 modem. Those where my download speeds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
I noticed that I had data problems when my battery was very low. I was wondering the same thing. I actually had what seemed to be my modem not even working when the battery was super low. Like data locked up completely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
I'm in VB too. I think I've been getting the same thing but I think sprint is doing something because out of the blue my signal and airvana just dropped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
We are getting LTE and network vision in October. This might have something to with it...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
Link me. Sprint rep told me jan:eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
here is the whole link http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/

but the part to look at is this:

"If Sprint waits for 50% completion to launch the Norfolk market, it would make the launch month to be November (should the OEM stay on schedule). If they plan on a 40% market completion for launch, that would be October. You may think that 40% - 50% site completion is not enough to launch LTE service, but it would provide pretty good coverage."

so depending on how much of the towers will be LTE means how long we have to wait.... it will be before 2013 and before December 2012

EDIT: a sprint rep told me we would have WiMax in 2011 (actually it was around this time that we would be getting it), look where we are now.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
That true. Hopefully it gets rolled out on my bday(october). It'd make a good present imo:cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] criptix:
Dallas fort worth is at 17% completion and is on.

We do have WIMAX, but only at Mnt. Trashmore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
Wait? There's WiMax at Mt trash more?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wellsey1126:
I'm in via beach near green run and I noticed the same thing. I dong think we will have lte until December. They are behind on the 1st markets.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
Nice. I'm near lynhaven
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
Yes at the top but it sucks worse then normal WiMax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xCovErtWolFx757:
How's service today? I've noticed a couple time my service would have bars but not do anything?

I haven't checked mine. It was bad at 0800 but got better later
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] punwik:
my service and signal have just sucked since day1 with this phone! I get the little 4G icon from time to time but only long enough to to piss me off! I sure hope they got an ace up there sleeve or something...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wellsey1126:
I've been in Portsmouth va the last few days the service here just sucks
