Do you ever see a day when VZW will ditch CDMA and start using GSM? I hate not being able to use my phone with another carrier. I also don't see any real advantages to CDMA. Any thoughts or opinions on if you see this happening?
[General Topics] mcapozzi:
Verizon will switch from CDMA to GSM, probably never. CDMA is very well suited for covering long distances with a minimal number of towers. Therefore, CDMA is the best platform for countries with large land masses. CDMA is more secure, and the phones are more energy efficient. Also, CDMA phones produce far less EMI.

If you really need the international roaming, there are Verizon phones with global capabilities. Or switch to T-Mobile or AT&T, and deal with that headache.

I would love to see verizon ditch CDMA for GSM! Its a pain to have accumulated phones that I will not be able to use once I switch to a GSM provider. The problem is that it doesn't seem like there is any incentive for Verizon to WANT to switch from CDMA
[General Topics] bbrad:
CDMA is better than gsm in some ways and gsm is better than CDMA in some ways I prefer cdma
[General Topics] NaughtyLuvJungle:
Verizon already has been rolling out LTE, is it not just a matter of time before they start to put all services onto that? I would think that at some point Verizon just won't need CDMA anymore.
[General Topics] bbrad:
There lte is CDMA...
[General Topics] jimmyn89:
I remember reading a few months ago that the want to start getting come Voice over LTE phones by the end of the year.
[General Topics] sy224048:
Wait really? I thought lte was a form of gsm
[General Topics] bbrad:
Nope its CDMA at a higher frequency to allow faster speeds. How do you think these little companies do it like cspire? They can do it for cheap on CDMA
[General Topics] bigbacon:
wish they would just because i'm not stuck buying a new phone whenI leave them.

Trying to decipher the threard now on if I can make my Droid 3 use ATT in USA
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
LTE is based on GSM technology. On current Verizon LTE phones, CDMA is used for voice and texting (and data when there's no LTE), but data (when there is LTE) goes over LTE. That's why you guys have SIM cards in your CDMA devices.

What verizon is planning to do is abandon CDMA for completely LTE phones in the future. What this means is voice, texting, and data will go over LTE, similar to VoIP. It's called VoLTE, which means Voice over LTE.
[General Topics] times_infinity:
Bingo.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

It's actually at a lower frequency than their CDMA bands. 700mhz band. Lower frequency has better wall penetration. Frequency has nothing to do with bandwidth either.
[General Topics] bbrad:
I know for a fact that lte runs on CDMA at cspire it may be different but there isn't no sim on cspire phones and they couldn't afford to upgrade all there towers with gsm anyway so is there different kinds of lte?
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
GSM doesn't just mean SIM card. LTE uses GSM protocols. Sprint is the same as CSpire; no SIM card slot. However there's a chip that emulates a SIM card inside the phone. It's probably the same case for CSpire users. The HTC One on Sprint has a SIM card slot though. So does the iPhone 5.

[General Topics] bbrad:
Hmm that i had no idea one of the cspire guys told me it was pure CDMA should have known better :p
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Well, if a phone supports LTE, it doesn't necessarily mean it can do GSM. For example, the HTC Rezound and most newer phones on Verizon do GSM, but only because the phone happens to support it because the chipset is designed for global roaming. But the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, for example, doesn't do GSM even though it can do LTE.

There was a guy who took the Photon Q on Sprint (the Motorola slider), unsoldered the chip that pretends to be a SIM card, and soldered on a SIM card reader. He was able to use normal SIM cards in his Photon Q afterwards.
[General Topics] bigbacon:
don't some CMDA phones have sims though?
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Those are phones that also had a separate GSM radio in them for traveling abroad (like the DROID 2 or even the Touch Pro 2, which were not LTE phones).

[General Topics] bigbacon:
Ahh, ok. nice to know. Going to attempt to get my D3 on USA ATT this weekend. I hope it works as I really don't want to shell out money for a new phone. I like my D3
[General Topics] radzer0:
There going to leave CDMA eventually but not for GSM. There is a new form of LTE they will eventually adopt because its backwards compatable with the original LTE . Than they can pull all of there cdma and older lte equipment along with the 1x stuff that has been phased out and removed as it dies.

I dont see all of this happening for another 4-5years for the full switchover though and its posable they may leave cdma in some markets to help coverage as it seems some areas LTE just eats it.

I bought the n10 about 3 weeks ago, used stock with no issues, then installed CM10 with no issues except the front facing camera is now off center.

[Off-topic] Deleted member 1890170:
More and more products are built so that they fail early. Because the consumer-protection is weak, helps one thing: be vigilant.

The screen stays black? Battery no longer charges? The washing machine goes on strike? The handle breaks off?

It's a phenomenon: Electronical devices and commodities go preferably a few weeks break after the warranty. So much bad luck no one can have, some buyers like to think - and apparently right: researches assume that manufacturers install intentionally vulnerabilities in their products in order to increase their sales in the long term.

The math is simple - more broken equipment, more need for replenishment.
[Off-topic] Baltasar1:
Agree with you. Really a widespread bad what Ihave heard. Personally no negative experiences so far.
[Off-topic] LoopDoGG79:
Problem with your theory, if a product breaks so early, I will not be buying the replacement from the same manufacturer. So, in the end, I'll backfire. There is more profit in making durable, reliable products, then trying to pull sneaky moves like this.

Sent from the phalanges of my hand to the facet of your cranium.
[Off-topic] stephj:
The worst culprits are car manufacturers. After 8 to 10 years the gleaming pride and joy that somebody drove off the dealer's forecourt, is now a worthless piece of junk.

As soon as the warranty runs out, so does everything else. Reversing sensors pack up, switches develop flakey faults unless percussive maintenance is applied every few weeks. Sound familiar? Behind the clever lifestyle TV advert they have just sold you a piece of crap.

Have a browse through some of the owners forums, at least you'll know where to hit the switch!
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
No, the difference is the immense competition.

Companies are being pushed more and more into fast, cheap productions to keep up the war against the competition. As such, they end up manufacturing things in low-end countries, with cheap materials in a far moe limited timeframe.

Back in the day of our 'indestructable' Nokias, there was no Apple-Samsung-HTC worldwar going on. There weren't so many cars about. The demand on washing machines wasn't as high, and there were nowhere near this many brands.
[Off-topic] eduardo.M:
Already forgot discussion about hidden "Sony timers" synonymously for precise timing of product failures, means a product break down just outside warranty.
[Off-topic] stephj:
Arrggghhhhh!!!!!! Washing machines!!!!!!

Don't get me started about washing machines!!!!!!!!!!!

When the spare part costs half that of a new machine, or you have to line the pockets of the anointed acolyte i.e. the official manufacturer approved repairer. He turns up to cast the runes, or consult the chicken entrails in order to find out what has actually failed. (Some manufacturers don't even publish what the controler error codes mean. No names, but I'm sure you have heard of them. In some cases he needs a PC and dongle just to get at the code. The code may say a £10 inlet valve or pressure switch has failed, but you have already paid the man for a call-out.)

It is easier and/or cheaper to throw the old one over a wall, and buy a new one.

The opening scenes of Wall-E are getting nearer by the minute.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to go and have a lie down now. I'll be alright in a few minutes.........

I prefer 4.1.2, using the ROM in my signature. Besides the fact of it being a bit more stable, I like the look and simplicity of 4.1.2.. What you think?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] username2013:
hmm

4.2.2 because the camera looks awesome that's the only reason
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wndysrf:
I just switched back to 4.1.2 speedbean from 4.2.2 hellybean today. I find 4.2.2 a little quicker in i/o and has better power management (longer battery life), BUT, the deal breaker for me is I can not get VOIP to consistently work on 4.2.2. Until VOIP apps (i.e. Talkatone, Vonage, Csipsimple) are fixed on 4.2.2, I'm sitting tight with Speedbean. It's a bit frustrating because on my Galaxy I captivate I had a fully functional and phone running 4.2.2 back in December.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
The main turnoff of 4.2 for me are the lock screen and the alarm. I'm a fan of the 4.2 keyboard... but that's it. I don't like the minimalistic style of the lock screen font either

Hi,

I updated the phone to JB and and after a few days I did a factory reset. After inserting the google user and when this process suppose to be over it return and ask me again for google user, if I enter the same user it says that it's already exists. So, basically it stack in a loop of entering the user name. I tried to do a factory reset but it didn't helped.

I'll appreciate any ideas how to solve it.

If your option is LGFlash Tool try the V20A. You can see if improves by flashing directly JB.
