sprint owns boost as well as nextel which both are still gsm phones.. but sprint is shutting down nextel but boost will still be around. but as far as boost phones working on tmobile....... i dont know
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
the answer is no.

Actually sprint/boost/Nextel are CDMA and T-Mobile is GSM.

You will need a GSM service for T-Mobile branded phones.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
Simple mobile is the boost equivalent, however. Go thee to a Wal-Mart

I've heard simple mobile throtles you after a certain amount of data used is this true? Also How's 4G
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
Nextel uses iDen.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
This is true. A simple google search lead me to a bunch of reviews from not only users but blogs as well

Yes i agree. I gave my old phone to a friend from columbia and she got the 15 a month for unlimited text and like 10 cents a minute. or you could get the T-Mobile prepay unlimited web (throttles after 5GB) text and 100 minutes. Its only 30 a month and can be dropped whenever.

I have it and I don't get throttled. But I cannot confirm as I never have even gone over 2 GB

And I get 12mbps down and 700kbps up on average. It really depends where you are though. Some get 22 and 4mbps

I need a music app that can handle 200+ albums, 2500+songs, and not kill my battery.

I love PowerAmp but it seems to kill my battery and i need my phone to start lasting more than 2 hours off the charger.

Has anyone tried using the x-Parts free app on Play Store?

Supposedly the description says "This app is designed for the Sony Xperia portfolio. It will install CWM into the system partition so you can use recovery even with a locked boot loader.

here is the link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pvy.CWMinstaler&hl=en

I cant confirm this working for the Ion but i might try it.

The reviews look promising but havent seen one for the Ion yet..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbrian27:
I'm pretty positive it isn't the ROM you're on, but the phone itself. I made a warranty claim through AT&T because it didn't matter who I called, landline or cell, they would hear themselves echo in their phone after everything they said. Three replacement phones later, I finally got one that doesn't have that issue and I'm just passing the info along. If anything like this has already been posted, I apologize, but I searched and couldn't find anything..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eshewski:
I've found that if I take off the otterbox then there is no echo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] seanci:
Same here

I'm pretty sure op has no idea wtf he is talking about
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbrian27:
I definitely know what I'm talking about, so thanks for playing.. And I don't use an Otterbox so that has nothing to do with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] The_Blue_Waffle:
Its your phone I have been running aosp since it dropped on this phone and I use an otterbox no echo so you're wrong thanks for playing.:rolleyes: and some it is the case others its noise cancellation not everyone has the same issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] BaconStep:
and when I had my skyrocket I never encountered this infamous call echo issue that's been hitting people on aosp ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mbrian27:
I don't even know why I bother to even post anything anymore.. I have had a total of three Skyrockets, two of which had the issue.. I have used the SAME EXACT ROM on all three with the SAME EXACT CASE, but only had issues with echo on two.. All I was getting at is that people who do have this issue might want to blame the phone and not the ROM or any CM10/AOKP related stuff
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
The check is very simple:

If the same echo is present on stock firmware - then it's a phone's fault.

If it's only present on CM10/AOKP/etc firmware - then it's a firmware fault.

It's possible that not all the phones are exactly the same, and some changes in the HW are causing the ROMs to be incompatible. In such case, changing phones to get a ROM to work is like changing a car to make it match your seat cover.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] speeddevil:
Stock Rom, only thing I have done is root. No case. Everyone I talk to complains of call echo. Only thing that fixes it somewhat is turning the volume down to where I can barely hear it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
This is a case of faulty secondary microphone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JoBroCro:
Noise supression

FWIW I had this problem on an AOSP ROM, and it was solved (for me) by enabling "noise surpression" in the Call settings menu.

Just my experience.

I'm sure some problems are more complicated than that, but maybe some have the same issue I did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bradxray:
Galaxy S II echo problem

If you do a google for galaxy s2 echo problem, you will find tons of people with this problem.

It would be nice if a site (maybe xda) would put together a list of all the phones and their known stock issues. It would cut down on a lot of these redundant post. And, would make it much easier to decide what phone to buy.

I have a tmobile version of this phone with the echo problem. They sent me 3 refurbs, all 3 had the problem. I sent my original back to samsung, they replaced a part, still echos.

Like i said, I have the tmobile version, but if you want to read more about what I found..... here it is.

I bought a Galaxy S II 2012/09/07. With the T-Mobile recommended case (D30) on the phone everyone that calls me says they hear their voice echoing back at them. Sometimes just a pop at the end of each sentence. Sometimes an exact copy of their voice with a one second delay, loud and clear.

If you are having this problem, from what I can tell, it is the noise cancellation circuit combined with a case that is causing the problem. If you are in a very quiet environment, the caller probably won't hear the echo. If there is even a small amount of noise in the background, then the caller will probably hear the echo (if you have a case installed). I test by standing under the fart fan in the bathroom. It is just a hum, but enough to cause the problem. Have the caller count to ten or something with a two second pause between numbers.

If you use an earpiece, the speakerphone, turn off noise cancellation, or remove the case, the problem goes away (even during the same call). But, most people don't want to use an earpiece or the speakerphone most of the time. Disabling the noise cancellation severely affects the sound quality and you can't turn it off permanently. Having a $200+ dollar phone without a case is just asking for trouble.

Over the next few weeks, T-mobile sent me 3 replacement (refurb) phones. BTW, I wasn't happy about having a brand new phone replaced with a refurb. All 3 had the same problem. So I sent my original back to Samsung. They said they replace a part. The phone still has the echo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] The_Blue_Waffle:
Brad or you could read and do your research :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rjohnstone:
Same thing here. Sent mine back twice for the echo issue and it was still there.

After I installed AOKP and enabled Noise suppression and the echo is gone.

[LG Optimus 2x] Vosetal:
Hi if someone is interested i have upgrade method that uses lg suite.

You need to have installed apache2 server on your computer (from XAMPP, WAMPP or something else).

Works only for stock roms (i tried only from 28e to 28g and it was successfuly)

1. Download attached file.

2. Unpack in directory C:/sites (make it if you dont have it).

3. Conect your phone to lg suite and download newest version for ics.

4. Try to upgrade software (You'll get latest version message).

5. Exit lg suite.

6. enter http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=Your_imei in your browser (Your_imei replace with your imei device)

7. You should get response in your browser. Right click on page -> select view page source -> then save source in C:/sites/lgupdate/csmg/b2c/client/ directory (overwrite previous file).

8. edit this xml file and replace urls in sw_url and sw_locale_url with http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990/AROMDW/V30a_00/V30A_00.kdz (my phone is for romania but I think it will work for everyone ) do not touch tags only replace urls (remove blanks from link sorry I can't post links).

9. download kdz file from kdz leaker link (look in dev section) and copy it to C:/sites/lgupdate/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990/AROMDW/V30a_00/ directory

10. now setup server. First you edit file: windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts (for winXP, and file is without extension)

11. add following line: 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com

12. find apache vhosts file and add following lines:

Listen 9002
<VirtualHost *:9002>
DocumentRoot "c:/sites/lgupdate"
ServerName csmg.lgmobile.com
ServerAlias csmg.lgmobile.com
DirectoryIndex index.php
<Directory "c:/sites/lgupdate">
AllowOverride All
Allow from All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

13. restart apache server

14. now start again lg suite and you should be able to upgrade your phone same way like from lg server.

15. when new upgrade occurs you'll have to edit auth_model_check2.jsp file from 8. and enter new name.

I successfuly upgraded from 28E to 28G without loosing any data, but I think it should work with all stock roms and new lg suite. This method unroots phone and removes cwm if you have it installed but preserves all your data and old apps.

When you want to have acces to lg servers (to download new kdz or something else) you have to delete line from hosts file ( step:11. ) and just wait couple minutes browser to refresh DNS.
[LG Optimus 2x] joel8736:
Very clever ! I really like your proposal.

But after step 8 why dont you launch directly LG update software ?

It should find the .kdz on the net at given URL, no?
[LG Optimus 2x] Vosetal:
You have to trick lg suite to think that csmg.lgmobile.com server is on your local server.

But by doing this you loose access to real lg server so you must place kdz file inside your local file system as explained in tutorial.

I recorded responses from real lg server when lg-suite queries a latest firmware. Its in a file auth_model_check2.jsp.

Oops I found mistake you must download kdz before anything not in step 13.
[LG Optimus 2x] AnishTS:
Vosetal,

If you can change the thread subject to how to updateLEAKED stock roms via lg suite it will be helpful :)

Anish
[LG Optimus 2x] agent6:
It didnt work for me. The page was blank and there was no source code to copy
[LG Optimus 2x] Vosetal:
Sorry it is my error. You must do call this page form lg servers BEFORE you alter hosts file in windows. Also you must download kdz before because when insert line in hosts file you lose connection with real server (till you remove line or comment it with #).
[LG Optimus 2x] kadeRpt:
is it possible to go from v20s to v30a with this method?

here in portugal v30a isnt yet available... my phone is unlocked to any carrier.

edit: forget it... i used smartflash... quick n easy
[LG Optimus 2x] dark_sat:
Didn't the OP forget to mention we need apache server installed?
[LG Optimus 2x] Vosetal:
No.

[HTC Incredible S] Guaranab:
I surely hope so.

But I'm guessing that it will be a bit late like the ICS update. :(
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
I'm sorry... but... a little bit late ?

A little?

It took them 9 months...

________________________

Like I said in the other thread, there's basically no way we're getting it from HTC...

And think about it, their ICS update basically made the phone worse. And now think about them just throwing together another update for us...

I don't think it'll be pretty.
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
That's your oppinion. For me ICS with Sense 3.6 is bullseye.
[HTC Incredible S] TheDareDevil:
JB with what? Sense 3.6 again? There's no way we're getting Sense 4 or above. And anything below 4 is a massive resource hog
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Jb will come with sense 4+ for all devices.

guys we have seen heaps of updates compared to other phones (nexus doesn't count)

Big updates:

2.2 froyo + sense 2.1

2.3.3 gingerbread + sense 2.1

2.3.5 GB with sense 3.0

Now 4.0 ICS with sense 3.6

The phone was unveiled at MWC 2011 in January iirc. I still remember lying on the floor reading about the incredible S's rotating buttons, fascinated by them. Long time ago. Point is, that our phone is more than 18 months old, nearly 2 years.

That's quite a major bump in both android and sense versions compared with other devices

SGS2 came with 2.3.3 GB

Got 2.3.5

Then got 4.0

Maybe getting 4.1 (higher chance than us)

They have been bumped up the same amount of important android versions as us. Theirs just came later and is way higher specced, so they are getting 4.1

Tl, Dr we should be happy with what we have. Like I said earlier if HTC bring it out for us I would definitely get another HTC next.

But the "2011 phones are being looked at" or whatever they said was likely in reference to the rezound, e3d and sensation etc. We are another step down with our single core processor and lower amount of ram (same as sensation, wouldn't be surprised if HTC skip out on the pyramid because of this )

[HTC Incredible S] @di:
Very well said Mark. Even I don't expect any release from them for our phone. Even if they release, at that point of time, apple would have released iPhone 8 in the market with one more row on their screen, Google would have released coffee beans Android version 6.0, barrack Obama would be fighting for 3rd term of President ship :)

But truth is still we would be hoping, will htc release update for our phone :p

Indirectly I was trying to say that getting an update is like Obama fighting for 3rd term.:D

Which is impossible.
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
My oppinion is based in what I've tried.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Just one question, are you really using the stock update from HTC?
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
I was using for some time, but I went to ARHD only because it's deodexed (I can use a few mods) and doesn't depend on lib partition (easier backup). As far as I'm concerned if was able to do all that on stock update I wouldn't have change it. I don't know why are you so suprised, I'm not a fan of AOSP roms (MIUI maybe, was using it for some time on Desire), Sense 4.0 looks like a child comic book to me, and stock ICS with Sense 3.6 looks preety good to me.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
I was talking about the stock HTC update, most other Sense-ROMs are kinda smooth.

It's the stock ROM from HTC that's just pure rubbish. And has been since 3.5 update... But I gotta admit, I did like Sense when I bought this phone and it was Sense 2.1... then it has only gotten worse, and the ICS update I didn't even care to try, and from reading the General section here I think I made the right choice.

Anyway, I still stand by my opinion: if HTC release a JB update it'll probably be something rushed together to make us quiet. Normal users could probably not care less.

And... doesn't 4.1 feel a bit old now?
[HTC Incredible S] nlooooo:
All Sense 3.6 roms are made from stock rom as a base with minor tweaks. And of course, as many others, you're talking about something that you haven't even tried.

I also doesn't know when IncS have got Sense 3.5 update. As far as I know the last GB update was with Sense 3.0, so you're talking about something you don't know, again.
[HTC Incredible S] Splux:
Okay, let's take this from the beginning;

I didn't flash the 3.6 due to the fact that the 3.0 (see, I got it right this time... my memory doesn't handle numbers that well) update was rather sluggish, by using custom ROMs you got away from the sluggish feeling.

And by judging from what I've read about it (excluding you), the stock update seems to be even worse.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797471 <- just a quick search on Google, and I found that. First xda result, and if you want I can back up my statements with more sources.

Sense 2.1 on Froyo was okay, in both stability and smoothness. It felt like it was actually optimized for this device.

Are we going to keep on with this rather pointless discussion?

Obviously our opinions differ, and it will probably just go on like this in eternity.

My point is clear, early versions of Sense are better than the newer ones. The ICS update was probably only rolled out to us because it was released before our 18 months were over...

Any mistakes with numbers and so forth are to be blamed on my own lazyness, since I am way too lazy to check through this post for errors.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gamemaster1379:
Hello all, I am currently looking to get the Motorola Razr Maxx in the next few days from Alltel. However, before I do, there are several questions I would like answered. Any help would be appreciated

Now then, starting off.

1. Is there a root option for the Razr Maxx for Alltel? It supposedly will be running ICS stock, but I want to make sure I don't use some sort of root method that is for a Verizon Maxx and cause issues on my phone. If there is a root option, which is best? I've done recovery flashes and whatnot in the past to root my Alltel 2.3.6 X2, but the simpler the better for me.

2.Bluetooth input, is it fixed? One thing I do a lot of on my Motorola Milestone X2 is emulation. I have a PSX, N64, GBA, GBC, etc etc. However, one HUGE setback with my Moto X2 is that it does not handle bluetooth input properly. My previous phone could handle it in emulation just fine, but there is a problem with the X2, supposedly. The X2 can detect input from bluetooth devices (and it shows the input in said applications used to sync the device), HOWEVER, the input cannot interact with other applications on the X2, making it impossible to play emulators with bluetooth devices. Does the issue persist with the Razr Maxx, or can I finally hook up a Wii remote to my Razr Maxx, mirror it to my TV, and sit back and enjoy the classics?

3. Infrastructure tethering - I do not have an existing ISP because all ISPs I can get are so terrible, wireless dial-up with interference would be more reliable. That being said, I use my phone for all of my internet needs. PC gaming, downloads, posting on forums like this, etc etc. I have no bandwidth caps or throttles, so I am truly unlimited. However, a setback with my Moto X2 is that even though I am rooted for wireless such as Wifi Tether or Barnacle, I can only tether in ad-hoc and not infrastructure. Tablets and other devices cannot connect to ad-hoc and only infrastructure, but supposedly my phone does not support this. Does the Razr Maxx have sufficient hardware to broadcast as a infrastucture hotpost?

4. Locked Bootloader and Custom ROMs? I am aware that my Moto X2 has a locked bootloader, supposedly meaning it is unable to have custom ROMs flashed to it. Is this the case with the Razr Maxx? And if so, are there methods to unlock the bootloader on the Maxx, unlike the X2? And, assuming I can flash, what kind of ROMs could I use and what would be recommended per my general uses of the phone (as listed above)? I have never flashed a custom ROM and know little of it. Would I need one specific to my carrier (Alltel), or does it just need to be the right technology (Alltel is CDMA)?

As an added note, while not phone specific, are there any alarming pitfalls to a custom ROM? Bugged SMS, MMS, etc?
