Didn't know where to put this thread, so hope I am in the right place.

I've been with Sprint almost 2 years (my contract ends in March)

Here is my experience:

My phone has been Epic 4G touch which never gave me good 4G speed regardless of rom/kernel/modem.

-The 4G coverage in my experience has been very bad, if i don't have a good connection I get around 1Megabit down and that's the case most of the time... (Brooklyn & Manhattan)

At it's best it has been around 3megabit down and 0.5 up on 4G.

The 3G is just plain horrible, around 100kilobit.

The voice service was okay but a lot of times calls would drop while driving.

One thing that I liked about Sprint was that I could roam to Verizon where coverage was poor.

I'm planning on ditching Sprint for T-Mobile, I am getting a great deal; since I have a family plan and it's going to be only extra $45 a month with unlimited 4G Voice & Text.

Sprint really sucks, I was suckered in my by "unlimited" 4G which was slow as hell.

-So basically unlimited slow 4G if you are lucky to get full signal.

I should note that I did not have true 4G phone, but WiMax. Don't know if the new LTE is any better, but from what I've read it's not.
[Off-topic] mhannigan:
More importantly, what phone will you be getting with T-Mobile? IMHO, service among carriers will vary greatly by location. There is no right or wrong provider, but if your experience has been bad, then do what you need to do. My primary concern would simply being able to get the phone I want with the carrier.

WiMax isn't neccesarily a negative - although there are minimum thresholds for LTE and all standards, your performance will depend on several factors including the aggregate use vs capacity of the networks in your area.

That's a good question, I was looking around and Nexus 4 seemed like the phone I want. Then I noticed the lack of SD Card and that is unfortunately a deal breaker. :(

I'll be going with a BYOD option as in the long run it is going to make more sense financially.

Maybe I could find someone on Craigslist to exchange the CDMA Touch for GSM SII.

The physical performance of the phone is pretty good, i don't think I really need anything top spec atm.

It even ran Linux pretty well with a VNC interface.

Not sure many of you use Memonic, but I like its feature set and its web interface.

The Android app, though, not so much...it is slow. And to add insult to injury, it crashes on JellyBean.

After many users asking for a fix, and no fix coming our way, I've patched the damn thing so that it doesn't crash on JB anymore.

It's not ideal because it's a hack rather than a clean software update, meaning it may have a slow memory leak...oh, well. Better than (literally) nothing.

[Android Apps and Games] gnauhm:
Thanks

I'm moving from Catch (which was a great app and service, too bad it's closing) and was excited with Memonic with its desktop version, but couldn't get the android app running, now I know why... thanks for the patch! Fingers crossed they will have this fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] cyansmoker:
You're welcome!

Just so you know, I also patched their chrome extension.

It's quite sad really because they offer a clipboard service that does exactly what I need better than any other one but they don't seem very interested in maintaining their software...
[Android Apps and Games] Patricia_W:
Thanks

I was so glad, after your fix the Memonic App runs! But now it crashes when I'm opening the notes.

Since both xdarit and OSImagetool won't write to my sd card, I would like to ask some help in writing the syntax for using the psdwrite command foiund in Jeff tools.

I found from earlier post written by Itsme:

"you can write it to sd with psdwrite 0 7680 wallabypatch-sd.img

this will write the image to the sd card in your xda.

psdwrite can be found in the same tools collection as pnewbootloader."

Could some please make a brief IDIOT guide to use the command? Thanks a lot in advance....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] itsme:
it writes to the sdcard in your xda, the tool runs on your desktop pc, connect your xda to your pc via activesync, by putting it in the cradle.

it only writes raw images, so you won't be able to use it to write an nb1 to sd card. you will have to manually create the header and checksum.

it's main use is to write wallaby patch loaders to sd.

as parameters it takes the disknumber ( which is '1' for the xda-1, or on the xda-2 : '1'=extended rom, '2'=storage, '3'=sdcard )

followed by the starting offset in bytes on the disk.

followed by the length in bytes,

followed by the file where to read the raw image from.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] andhy:
THANKS

Itsme: THANKS!!

I managed to write the patch tool using xdarit.....it's been a strange experience for me with writing to SD cards. I used the same procedures and SD cards, but out of over 60 trials, I managed only twice. I have no idea why ...

Now my next challange is to write a flashable GSm ROM SD card. One guy mentioned that this is not possible . I tried to back up a GSm ROM to SD from another working xda, unfortunately the bootloader was a 5.17 (ALL xda here are 5.17). After patching, the GSM ROM to SD menu "disappear" from the bootloader. The owner would not let me 'downgrade' his 5.17 to 5.15 :cry:

Could you plase kindly advice? THis questions is posted in:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwesleyg:
I'm not sure about anyone else, but here's a short list of problems my fiancee's S2 has had since the JB update the other day.

1. When the screen is off, notification LED stays on (purple in color)

2. The battery isn't really improved since the ICS update

3. When she will get a missed call or text notification, and she goes to the call/text, the number stays by the icon (re: Two text messages, the number two stays by the icon) for at least an hour past the time.

4. Occasionally, it restarts for no good reason

Has anybody else ran into this, or have you heard anything? She's an on-call nurse, so her phone is really important. I've googled the situation for her, but to no avail. I lurk here all the time for help with my Galaxy Nexus and this is the first time I haven't found anything. Any help or insight to what's causing it/how to fix it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Hello, I am having a weird issue. Whenever I travel 30+ minutes away from where I live my data never works. I am currently running Jellybam 7.0. I cannot connect to the network at all. I have tried with roaming on and off, and also I go and select my network and can try any of the networks listed, or have it choose automatically, still no data.

I haven't tried another ROM yet, but I'm not sure that it is a ROM issue. Has anyone else had something similar happen? My girlfriend has her GS3 stock and she will have internet and I won't. As soon as I get closer to home everything starts working like normal, but if I am far away no amount of rebooting, airplane mode or data toggling makes it work.

Suggestions? :confused:

I'll have to try a new ROM as well, just really like Jellybam.

Hi, I'm rather new to android and I recently bought an anker battery from amazon since my stock battery was draining battery really fast. However, I other than the first day if usage where my battery life was really good, I've realized that my battery isn't doing very well now. Light usage of the internet will cause a drop of abit 1% per min. I've searched threads and have downloaded GSam battery monitor.

From the app, I found out that most of my battery drain was due to "Kernel (Android OS)". Here are my results. I would appreciate it if you guys could take the time to help me find out what has been causing this battery drain.

I don't have any other apps open btw.

Thanks a bunch!

ps: typing this post drained 6% of my battery. :(

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I love when I'm on Google+ and someone goes on a community and asks what the best ROM is without saying what phone they have and or carrier, then people start naming ROMs. I'm like wth is wrong with you people. Or someone might say I'm on the Sprint S3 and others will just start naming ROMs for other carriers like its perfectly fine to just flash a ROM no matter what model of phone you have. I hope this video ends up helping new people instead of just making fun of, and pissing someone off. I was new once as everyone is or was. But I felt like I read until I mostly understood what I was doing and why. I've seen a lot of bricks lately and if I can prevent one, this would be worth it. Lol. By the way I found this video it is not of my making just so everyone knows.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
Yea, I've been flashing my phones since 2009 with the Motorola cliq, I never bricked anything because I read, read, and read before doing anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Like the noob in the video says, lots of people just tell noobs that it's easy to root and flash ROMs. Most of the time, it's implied that the process is easy providing that the noob reads and learns on his/her own. Unfortunately, inference isn't universal, and a lot of noobs think "it's easy" means that it doesn't matter what they flash, it's all the same.

As a former comp. sci. major, I had enough experience with computers to know that it wouldn't work that way, so I read as much as I could until I could practically flash ROMs in my sleep before even risked I messing something up. Most people aren't tech heads or comp. sci. majors, and all phones seem the same to people who don't understand phones. If they were really different in the noob's perspective, he/she would remember whether they have the LG Optimus or the Keyocera Echo. If someone doesn't realize that there's a huge difference between an HTC One vs. the Samsung Note 2, why does it matter to them which forum the ROM is from? I mean, "it's so easy!" Why not flash the first ROM they find?

Sorry for the rant. I'm someone who tells his friends that rooting and flashing ROMs is easy, but only if they're willing to read and learn on their own before jumping in, and I warn them that they could destroy their phones if they're not careful. I then reiterate that flashing is easy once you learn enough not to brick your phone and offer to help them find all the info they need. Most just decide it's not worth the risk, and they settle for the stock experience. That's how it should be. If you don't want to spend the time learning it, then don't spend the time doing it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
I read for about a month for my GS3. First I rooted, the unrooted/triangleaway'd and odin'd back to stock to make sure I knew what I was doing. Then I took another 2 weeks to read up on ROMs, and then I finally flashed one. The ONLY times I've bricked my phone are more or less on purpose, just because I like tinkering, and I always fixed it myself. I don't even know how people can just start flashing either I was so tedious about it, still am.

My parents got smartphones before I did and their phones are on GB still, they don't even know that android versions go higher than GB (or what GB is) they think their phones are the bees knees just because they're android lol, it's just as well though because they never tried rooting them.

Edit: I'd also like to add that I was extremely paranoid about backing up my phone the first time I flashed my first ROM. I used TIBU to back up onto my external SD, then I copied that folder to my computer and also uploaded it to dropbox and google drive, and then I made a nandroid of my stock phone which I still keep on my PC just in case.

The videos intent is not to discourage conversation or questions from "noobs." It is more of a learn about what you are doing and don't just blindly do things when you have no idea wth you are doing.

I encourage you and other new people to participate and ask questions, although I think 99% of questions can usually be solved with a quick search in xda or Google. And it is always good to see some people try to read and absorb everything.
