Has anyone tried the link below to get data on MetroPCS?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2225443

I'm thinking about using a Verizon S3 with Metro GSM(T-Mobile) network but I'm worried about the "3G" speed.

Can anyone post some real world speed test data for MetroPCS (T-Mobile) GSM 3G speed?

Thanks in advance.

No MMS

Hi, this is my first post but long time lurker...

I flashed the galaxy S3 to the kitkat 4.4 with cyanfox ROM based on the cyanogenmod. Everything works well, EXCEPT multimedia messages...

I can not send or receive MMS. Not with hangouts, Handcents SMS, or 8sms.

I have tried all the configurations but it does not work...I read that if I go to the APN then I could input settings, but in my cellphone the APN settings are greyed out, and I can not edit them. Have tried to access APN with some free apps from playstore but without luck because they either said that it can not be written on the system, or they just plain crash.

I have checked the settings for MMS address, proxy, and everything seems fine. I can access internet on the go, but MMS wich uses the data plan still does not works...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Anyone know what going on with that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zenithz:
I don't know the technical details of the technology, but from what I read about it I assume it only works for changes in the APK. Games often contain a lot of graphic data, which probably renders this technique kinda useless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
I'm pretty sure they are already enabled but they still show as if you are downloading the entire file. So there is no way to know when they are put to use and how big the apk diff files are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJxSpeedy:
Busybox free uses it..and facebook 1.9.9 update too...

With the last updates it was finished within seconds..the download....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] J-Hop2o6:
Interesting. So how does Google select which apps start using it? Or is it some kinda automated update adding apps to its list for Smart Update support?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJxSpeedy:
Noo the devs of the apps must build it in aka support it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Google automatically enables smart app updates for all (I presume) apps. This was said at the I/O conference that developers didn't need to do anything and personally I haven't seen any new API calls nor manifest lines that I need to add.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
FWIW, I updated Dead Trigger the other day and it only downloaded around 500k of updated data... so, yea, it does work for games as well.

Again, it depends on the APK and the changes involved.

Something I noticed the other day: the progress bar on the Play Store was slow, and would cut off somewhere in the middle just before updating. If you want to see the real update progress, look in the notification shade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJxSpeedy:
I think its an switch that the dev must activate to use it

How can you have a proper running OS with such low clock speeds? I pull it down to 100 MHz and there's a short lag when I turn it on from deep idle. On top of that, I need some sort of clock speed in case I multi-task or play games.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
The maximal battery life for LiIon can be accomplished like they do with Hybrid/Electric cars. If you cycle from 80% to 40% you will get 10x the battery life (equivalent total Ah used) compared to charge and discharge from 100% to 10%. In fact, leaving a LiIon battery around the 100% to 90% range or under 10% permanently reduces capacity (it's chemistry)

If you have root, is there a script or app to stop charging at 80%? I suppose the batteries are not quite laptop expensive, so I guess for $30 you can just buy a new battery when you go through the 500 full cycles.

I couldn't post directly to the thread due to being a new user but here goes.

According to THIS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1867423 thread affinity was (is?) develeoped for both toro and maguro. From what i gleaned from this very hard to navigate website, is that Toro is the verizon wireless gnex. I downloaded this rom in hopes to install. the zip is only named Maguro however, so i stopped. Is this just an oversight or does it include the nessicary files for TORO Gnex??

More info:

I have this phone (VZ GNEX) and i have unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery to clockwork 5.5. Then flashed SU binaries (i think) and installed Codename Jelly Bean 3.3 following this http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-nexus-gsm-roms/codename-jelly-bean-rom-for-galaxy-nexusbest-rom/.

I had some issue with a hung boot screen. Some people said that i needed to install the new version of clockwork mod. I then went to the appstore and downloaded Mod manager and there i could update/ install clockwork mod 6. Can i install CWM6 over 5.5 and retain my backups? Or since i used the command prompt to install the other prerequisites will it be completly messed up if i try to install from the ROM itself.?

Thanks for reading.

2. Why not just upgrade to 2.1, which mount but dramatically fix your problem, but it's a lot better.

3. If you are using Siyah or any extweaks compatible kernel, you can boost your headset volume with it. Or you can just download volume boosting apps in market.

That's the idea.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 41.:
Short answer: Currently, no.

Webtop/dock requires Blur in order to work, or so the devs say. Since there's no official ICS rom, there's no blur and Webtop. I believe a DEV was able to slap together a standalone Webtop which could go as far as launching from a CM7 Rom, but it was a WIP and was dropped, mostly a proof-of-concept. Also, I don't have a link ready.

Also, mortorola is rumoured to drop Webtop functionality in ICS/JB, so I'm afraid you're out of luck.

Stick to GB if you want dock functionality, I'm afraid.

ok first things first i have rooted my phone, S-off and running Nik_incredibleS_sensationXL V4.0

Baseband 20.2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_m

i have CWM and 4ext touch recovery

not sure if its because of this but mms doesnt work without wifi on, anyway im looking to update

just want some basic info, i have flashed and played around with alot of phones etc just dont know much about android

whats changing the kernel,radio, sense, etc do? and should i do it? where can i find out more about that?

whats better - what is sense?

sense 3.5

sense 3.6

sense 4

AOSP/Non-Sense

if i was to test a a rom and didnt like it could i recover my phone back to how its running now with all its apps etc? as if i didnt touch it?

and if i do like it can i restore my apps onto that version?

cheers

[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
This thread will cover all your terminology :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1466228

As with the sense versions, 3.5 as you said is gingerbread. I don't use it because it is nearly 2 years old.

Sense is HTC's custom skin on android. It adds functionality and looks good, but takes up a lot of ram and CPU. The point of an AOSP rom is to get rid of this skin, to free up ram and processing power. Some like sense, some don't, its totally opinionated. I like sense mysself :)

Sense 3.6 and 3.5 are very similar, the main difference is that 3.5 is GB and 3.6 is ICS and adds some features. Sense 4 is the latest and is very different to other versions of sense.

If you create a backup in recovery before flashing a new rom, you can restore to that backup and everything would be untouched.

Hopefully I helped :)
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
You can't have 2 recoveries installed. You either have 4ext OR cwm. Flashing a new recovery overwrites the old. Your radio is old, update it. This might fix your mms issue and probably late SMS and calls not connecting.

And yes, a complete backup to, and a restore from recovery will take the phone to "as if I didn't touch it".
[HTC Incredible S] Bert02:
ok thanks guys filled in alot of blanks

time to start updating i think

hopefully no bricking!

just a note to everyone reading mybackup root is a good app backing up program it copies the apk and data

it restored all the apps fine and if i open the data in a text editor the data is still there... how do i restore the data?
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
prob not a good idea to restore the data as you went from gingerbread to ics.
[HTC Incredible S] Bert02:
only restored certain apps and the data with it

mybackup pro seemed to fix it an all is working good

i could understand not restoring phone settings etc but i figured apps should be fine. guess ill find out soon

i have a problem with MMS not being able to get them even with wifi now!! might have to flash to another rom yet.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Which carrier/country?
[HTC Incredible S] TheQwertiest:
It all depends on which apps you are trying to restore data, i.e. for some apps restoring won't bring all their setting and data back (e.g. dropbox and some social networks apps).

You could also try using Titanium Backup (it's not free, but it's worth every penny), coz it can extract and restore data directly from your 4ext\cwm ROM backup.

PS: If you are fan of Sense-less or\and AOSP\AOKP Roms, I suggest you flashing CodenameAndroid ROM, because it's more stable, smoother and has less bugs than IceColdSandwhich (too bad that kaijura stopped it's development -_-)
[HTC Incredible S] Bert02:
running optus, got it working with wifi again now but now with mms apn...

yeah once i sort out the backup side of things i may start testing different versions, not against sense but wouldnt it run slower?

your talking about the jellybean version? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854796

one thing is there anyway i can change the wifi and 3g signal into numbers? rather than bars
[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
I'm optus too. I did try Ice Cold some time ago, a good Rom but I couldn't get mms working so I went back to cm7. There was a thread in general some time ago discussing how to get mms working, don't know if there was a fix or not.
[HTC Incredible S] TheQwertiest:
AFAIK for some operators (including Optus) in most of ICS\JB ROMs you have to set APN setting manually to make it work. I heard that using 3rd party apps like "Go SMS" with fixed APN to send mms fixes this issue as well.

Though Sense is generally slower than ICS\JB, Sense ROMs have better camera and somewhat less bugs. BUT ICS and JB ROMs have much better customization options.

Ya, this one. It's veeeeeery smooth, offers a lot of customization options and it has close to none bugs =)

As of now there is no such an option in CodeName Android, but this feature was requested several times and dev (I mean dev of the original CodeName) said that he is going to add it in one of the future releases.
