[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmoreboy02:
Ok so i live in baltimore but work in silver spring minutes outside DC. When im in Baltimore my phone works fine data and calling. But as soon as i get in silver spring my phone gos crazy. In and out of servive. I get messages that wont download. People call and i never get it. And voicemails dont come in until i leave and head back to baltimore. I had my s3 and my note 2 checked by the tech at the corporate store and they said my phones are fine. This has been going on since August.

So ive been calling sprint since i 1st noticed the problem in August and everytime its the same story. They tell me theres a bad tower servicing that area that has an open ticket. And that i can expect the problem to be fixed in a few days. I called today and got the same BS. Can someone who maybe works for sprint or knows more info tell me exzactly whats going on and what i should do? Ive been with sprint 11 years and put up with alot but its to the point my jobs in jeopardy. Im not getting calls from other employees or my boss. I drop calls all the time. The tech said i had a 21% dropped call rate.

I really dont want to leave sprint but i spend about 9 hrs a day in sipver spring and my phones useless there. I have 3 lines that the contracts up on in march. My etf fee on each line is only $50 but heck i could sell my e4gt and pay that plus have a note 2 and gs3 to sell. Should i demand a credit? How many other people in that area are having this problem? Whats everyone elses thoughts?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] masber2000:
I agree. DC Sprint service sucks.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmoreboy02:
I thought it was bc of the upgrades also but when they did it in baltimore last summer it only acted up for maybe a month. This has been goin on since august in silver spring. They keep tellin me its a damged tower it has an open ticket but nothins getting fixed

I was in Silver Spring yesterday. Signal was a compete mess, you are right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bmoreboy02:
Its redicilous man. Ive never seen anything like it. I mean i cant keep a call longer then 5 mins without dropping it. I cant download pics or email attatchments.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] digiblur:
Wish my service was like that, that would mean there were firing up the upgraded equipment at several sites here.

Yeah. I didn't try voice, but I was trying to navigate with maps and it was not working at all. This was over a pretty large area as well, not just downtown Silver Spring.

I will give Sprint a call and pile another complaint on for you. I'll report back with what they say.

I've settled on Handcent for now, but I've been wondering what some of you guys are using. I've tried a couple others, but Handcent just seems fluid and is constantly updated and supported. Lots of themes and tools to utilize, if that's your thing.

Also, in addition to what SMS app you're using, is there an SMS app that will allow "reply to all" natively? I get group texts from iPhone users and when I reply it only goes to the person that sent the message to me.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] insanecrane:
I've been using Handcent since I moved to Android(always had dumb phones before)roughly three years ago. I like the set up,customizations and how smooth it operates. I also like that the app has strong support, although I'm sure that they all do.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Am I the only one who likes stock apps? Such as stock sms+keyboard? Sheesh. :x
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WA_Bob:
Since I started with Swiftkey for a keyboard app, I NEVER could go back to stock on any phone (or tablet) - It ruined me for anything less! :D

And there are some stock SMS apps I like and have used. In fact I like the one on the OG and I seriously considered sticking with it, but I switched to Handscent for purely vanity reasons. I like to put a "signature" on my texts and the stock SMS won't let me do that. I do use the stock e-mail app, however!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] m2xtreme:
+1 for SMS Popup. Also the Cyanogenmod version of the stock keyboard since it has a dark theme. Haven't tried it on the LGOG yet because I haven't gotten mine, but I imagine it will work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] IrateCustomer:
Well, since the stock app has a reply to all feature, I'm just running that now. Handcent had some cool stuff, but all these group texts are killing me.

I can't believe Handcent doesn't have reply to all at this point.

Sent from my LG Optimus G
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I've used Swiftkey and Hancent before and I've always switched back to Stock.

Well, I used them on my Inspire 4g. But I ran other ROMs so I guess the keyboards were never exactly "stock"...

Meh! I can do without. The LGOG's stock is nice, for my preference anyway.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aquariuz23:
Am I the only one using go SMS pro? Lol.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Andrew149:
Anything go is a resource hog and steals your info and sells it there a Chinese company or jap w.e it was
[AT&T LG Optimus G] droidiac13:
I use the stock app. Not sure what makes any third party apps better. Would love to hear everyone's opinions on what makes them better.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aquariuz23:
And you're 100% positive that handcent is not Chinese or otherwise related to anything Asian? I don't see anywhere on their site stating that they're local, or European. And what proof do you have that they steal your info and sells them?

I don't find go SMS a resource hog at all actually so I don't know about that either.

Many third party SMS app comes with added features that aren't available on stock apps. For me, go SMS pro has two features that I don't see in other SMS apps yet, unless they're addons, and those are inter grated lock screen for the app itself and a private chest to store all your texts that u don't want ppl to see. It has screen popup notifications too so uh don't have to constantly access your SMS app to read or reply texts but I think handcent has the same feature.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ian1:
There Chinese I remember going to their website a while a go. Not of their apps or launchers are very polished either
[AT&T LG Optimus G] insanecrane:
I like Handcent for some of the features to customize and privacy aspects. Different backgrounds to choose from and privacy inbox to off load or keep texts in through their storage.

The stock is okay, but unless I've missed something it's fairly limited and bland as far as options.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] theytalkalot:
I use go pro sms...haha....it works pretty well too!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
I also use Go SMS. It's the only one I tried that allows me to use group messaging properly.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bahaa3000:
I always used the stock SMS app, never felt comfortable with anything else. I like the simplicity. Swiftkey keyboard plus the stock app= perfect minimalistic experience.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Zackhery:
I use the stock sms and then either Swype or Swiftkey flow.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] aquariuz23:
I'd live to use the stock app if only it has security integration. Just cuz the phone is locked doesn't mean ppl can't get into your phone and then read the text messages. Its an added layer of security.

Another advantage of go SMS pro (not sure if handcent has a similar feature) is that if u never delete your text messages and have literally thousands n thousands of text messages within a single contact, go SMS truncates the chain of conversations to the latest ones n if u scroll up, u can click show more messages to view older ones. This speeds up loading time when going into a conversation. Whereas in the stock app, it can take sometimes 5 or more seconds of delay since its trying to load all the old texts.

For example, my conversation with my gf has never been deleted lately, resulting in nearly 10,000 texts between the both of us. When I open our conversation in go SMS pro, it works fine. But using the stock app can take nearly 10-15 seconds n it sometimes even crash and freeze. So yeah, it can make a difference.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:

lock anything you want.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WA_Bob:
As far as just sending and receiving SMS and MMS, I haven't really found one stock or aftermarket app better than any other for my purposes. For me, I just like to use my "(W.A.) Bob" on my messages so, if the stock app won't let me put that signature in there, then I'll go to Handscent. I used to use Go SMS Pro, but I got burned by an add-on theme that started pushing advertisement messages to me until I had to reset my phone so I've stayed away from it ever since.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tasty_boy:
this phone didnt came with Portuguese language and i cannot send sms with accents from my language, someone knows an app that makes it possible???
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
I just noticed that my GoSMS app skipped an incoming message. I received it in the stock app though. Strange.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JoeyGuard:
Depending on the phone I'm using I use stock or handcent. When I had my note 2 I used handcent because I hated stock. With my one x and optimus G stock is great especially on the G.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
The stock messaging app is more than adequate for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Fun498:
I will probably use stock for a few days when I get my Optimus G before giving in and installing Go SMS Pro. It has always been slim on resources on my Atrix and I like the ICS theme. I would like a lite version because I don't use most of the features, but they don't really become obtrusive like excess features in other apps. Hell, I might give in and go to Go Launcher for the swipey icons.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] AndreaCristiano:
Does anyone notice that the pop up on the stock app doesn't always pop up ?

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Shelnutt2:
This is a keyboard issue, try downloading a new keyboard which supports Portuguese.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tasty_boy:
im using Swiftkey and dunno what to do!!

everytime that i send sms without accents it goes fine

when i put some accent...it won't!

phone didn't have `Portuguese as language...

and i think that's the issue...

but i need to change that!

hope someone could help!

I had been using GoSMS on my sgsii for some time, worked great. Also works great on my OG. I really like how well it handles group mms.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noneabove:
What are the chances that we will see replacement backings sold? Would they only be possible from LG or third parties too? I'd love to see a plastic replacement backing sold, if for no other reason than to have an extra back to use when I'm going out, just replace it at home and head out
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
I don't know, but I hope it is soon. I'd love to see some carbon fiber or leather backs being made.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RJM77:
with antennas and other components attached to the back glass wouldn't it be pretty unfeasible to see replacement backs?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] enviii:
What do you mean replace it at home and be out? You realize is screwed in right? It's also got a whole bunch of crap attached to it like antennas and wireless charging stuff.

If you mean like a skin or something, check out Skinomi they already have carbon fiber skins and others for this device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noneabove:
I know it has screws but it can still be taken off, its just not "hot swappable" (easy to take off). I'm fairly certain it's still feasible to have different backings available, and maybe the replace it for going out was a little much, maybe its a bit more difficult than that, but to be able to replace it with something made of carbon fibre would be fantastic, just to not worry about the glass. Or even a replacement made of the same stuff for worse case scenario (it breaks). As for antennas and such, of course these would have to be taken into account for and added to any new ones.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] enviii:
I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/1#s42123

Replacing the back really isn't an option. Skinning it is obviously a different story.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
I'd be willing to give up wireless charging and NFC.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] enviii:
You're acting like the back of the Nexus 4 is hideous or something. It's actually the most beautiful back side I've seen on a phone since the iPhone 4. Cool your jets and don't mess with what you have.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] James BlackHeron:
Q

I would love to see a replacement back that had a 4000mAh battery in it. I don't care if it added 6-8mm of bulk to the back. As long as it had a battery and another set of charging wires for the Qi charger I'd be happy.

I want some POWER!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noneabove:
No body said anything like that, but let's be honest here, chances are it'll scratch or break, and id like to have a backup, or as the person above said an extended battery thrown in would be super cool, id gladly take an extra 4-6mm for some more juice
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
Why don't you cool your jets before jumping to conclusions? I actually like the back and think it looks nice. However, it is glass and will crack eventually. I'm very careful with my phones and have never had a cracked screen, but accidents do happen. I also don't like how slippery it is. I'm getting a case for it to fix that problem, but just replacing the back with a different material would be nice. Just because YOU don't want a product doesn't mean others don't either.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Nexus 4 doesn't have a replaceable back and most likely never will... Use a good protective case when going out. I leave a case in my car and use it when I know I'm going out to the bar.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] clockwork58:
sometimes I joke to myself to tape the edges and the camera/speaker on the back and give the phone a quick once over using FlexSeal (rubber in a can) to protect it. LOL
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SOLGarion:
That cannot be good for heat diffusion.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sn0warmy:
That seems hard to you? A proper torx screwdriver and a guitar pick would have the backing off in a hurry.

For those who say the backing is "not replaceable" must not have owned a Galaxy Nexus. At first people said it couldn't be replaced easily but then the white rear housing was released and people started swapping it onto their phones with no problem. And that rear housing requires much more patience and work than the backing of the Nexus 4 does.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing replacement backings in the near future. Ideally, I would like to see one without glass for obvious reasons. One with kevlar would be FANTASTIC!

Hello All,

I just rooted my HTC One X (on ATT 1.85 software version). I have still not unlocked bootloader. I am looking for some good stable Sense based ROM since my wife is going to use the phone. I am also looking to have OTG and MHL support on the ROM. Can anyone suggest a ROM for this? I looked around and found that ElemantalX V3.0 has OTG support. Can anyone suggest me a ROM?

Additionally, do I need to unlock bootloader to flash a new ROM? What kind of precaution I should take while flashing? I am doing it on SGS2, so I know bsasics but not familier with the process.

Thanks,
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Hey there! If you're looking for a close to stock experience I suggest clean Rom...and yes you need to unlock bootllader..with HTC its either bl unlock or s-off and we don't have s-off yet
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
You're either already unlocked and don't know it, or you're not really rooted. You can't root without unlocking first.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alex8525:
Thanks Guys,

I will check for unlock (may be I don't know and am unlocked). I used 1.85 one click unlock, but didn't use HTCDev.

I will also checkout CleanROM.

By the way are there any Jellybean roms? I wanted to have ability of transferring photos using NFC.

Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
With 1.85 and the one click you are not bootloader unlocked. You still have to go through HTC Dev. As for ROMs, if you are trying to stay close to stock then I would go with CleanROM also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] utkaar099:
Yeah there are plenty of JB ROMs in the original android development section. But since you want sense ROMs I would suggest looking in the android development section, the top 2 ROMs there seem to be CleanROM and ViperXL. There is also a JB sense ROM but it is very unstable.

[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildSatchmo:
If you're looking for something ready made the answer is no from what I can tell.

I'm currently working on this but there is a problem. The Q fires off the video to the youtube app itself so it owns the playback at that point.

the youtube app does not have an api to interact with the player so once you pass it a video to play you lose control. You can get the length of the video and then trigger the next video after the time has run out but its not the right way to do it for obvious reasons. Google announced a player api at I/O 2012 that is supposed to be coming out soon but so far we haven't heard any details on that.

I'm playing with this now but it is a little older: http://code.google.com/p/android-youtube-player/
