2G, 3G, 4G used to purely mean something, but now the "label" has shifted to more around the raw speed regardless of the infrastructure. A great example is TM with their HSPA+ calling it 4G, which (like one mentioned) is more like 3.5G.

However, TM's HSPA+ (3.5ish G) in some areas can whoop on other carriers LTE. Look at my sig; great example.

Although TM was last in the race for the LTE infrastructure, TM has the most expandable infrastructure over all the other carriers. Very smart move. Why? Because if the other carriers wanted to expand they would have to put in place a completely new infrastructure for their next generation network, whereas TM can just expand on their current (New LTE) infrastructure. Now the tides have shifted.

So 5G for TM? When the time comes, yes TM would be the first to have it since they have the ability to build on their current platform without the hassle of putting in a new one.

I find it amusing that cellular providers in the US are making more progress on data speeds than our ISPs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kobesabi:
Verizon Fios is not available in my area. Uverse also not available unless I pay 100+ option. Only option I have is Uverse DSL...which is crappy and about 80% reliability. Cable is pricey and fail miserably on jitter test. My new friend is $10 (unlimited talk from Tmobile to replace my home phone. Tmobile $20 unlimited data to replace my home DSL. I hope Google Fiber becomes available in OC area soon someday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] wavrunrx:
finally ! :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] deeznart:
I think it's a lot more time and money that's needed to run new cable/fiber to each and every home than replacing a cell tower or two every block..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
Google fiber is a game changer for the USA. Other countries have much better speeds at much cheaper prices. Google is forcing other carriers to step up. Time Warner is already ****ing there pants in places where Google fiber already rolled out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thachosenone:
Lol. Really guys? 5G refers to the Wi-Fi technology used. 802.11ac.

Here's an article about it:

LTE is faster than my home cable Internet... :confused:

Honestly, I don't think our phones need the kind of bandwidth LTE 4G offers. Not with bandwidth caps anyway...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JUSMEJOSE:
Honestly yeah ... we don't need lte .... we already getting more 10mbps thats fast enough for me if I want really fast internet I would just connect to my wifi ... thats just me ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
I'm still waiting for LTE in California. I get dial up speeds unless I head for a larger city. They shouldn't even mention new technology until completely rolling out LTE to more cities.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thachosenone:
Lol. 5G. Now there are gonna be people out there bragging about their 5g phone. People are idiots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KillaHurtz:
We're not talking about WiFi. Samsung has started mobile tests that are 100 times faster than LTE. T-Mobile is rumored to be the 1st carrier in the world to utilize it.

SKT and KT are going LTE-A later this year, collab with Samsung of course.. (South Korea) I do not see any reason for TMO not to invest on the forthcoming future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Yeah really, I still facepalm at Cincinnati Bell putting up advertizements on the billboards about FiOptics when some of those places don't even get it! OTOH I'm surprised cell companies don't offer unlimited (fast) internet on their internet sticks.. if that happened I'd dump my ADSL and go with a stick. :D

However, I still find it amusing that cell companies still push tiered data plans (thankfully Tmo no longer does this...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I'm glad they do. People are going to be using cell phones to provide themselves with home internet. The isps need to get with the program here. T-Mobile actually has a "grace period" of tethering for this sole reason. Fibre and xFinity are prolly the only ones faster than some cell companies. It's pitiful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dortenz:
It seems SKT is already starting to market 5G under Band LTE --

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtdAqhfAlB8

What would be the point to create the term LTE if it's just to change back to 5G , I thought the whole point of the term LTE was to avoid 5G 6G 7G 8G etc...

I've already seen my LTE sign show up as LTE +

This whole LTE A x3 / LTE + or 5G is getting confusing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HTCMDA:
If t-mobile wants to be the 1st at something, how about they become the first to get rid of all the damn EDGE network. You now, for people who travel out in the middle of nowhere and need/want 4G and LTE data coverage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HampTheToker:
Agreed. I keep hearing about this upgrade hoopla being close to done, but I still can't get LTE at home and interstate travel is horrible.

I'm seriously thinking about switching to Cricket since AT&T acquired them. Unlimited talk and text and 20GB of data on AT&T's network for only 60 bucks...yes please!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OldeCrow:
The way this works in the US is the provider aka google, comcast, frontier, etc, buys off the local PUD board and ensures near monopoly level access to the local customer base and they don't let any other kids come play in there sandbox, there are usually only ever two providers, one cable and the other phone/fiber and rarely a third provider where there is a county or city owned cable or phone provider.

there are a few test markets for google fiber but they have a lot of PUD boards to buy and several election cycles in many cases to do this in before google fiber is a "game changer" On the plus side if anybody could break into this business it would be google...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jibster75:
5Ghz

I'm pretty sure T-Mobile isn't moving onto the 5g mobile network standard yet, it's still being tested and developed.

From what I've heard/read T-Mobile is just deploying their 4G LTE network on the 5GHz, unlicensed, frequency. Which should yield faster network speeds but they'll need a lot more radios in order to cover a certain space. I think it's a good idea and hopefully it's deployed right, but I'd rather them upgrade their old 2g networks to LTE.

I can't post links again, but you can find articles about this on the TmoNews website.

Hello XDA.

I have a i9300 that is running Siyah kernal and dual booting Supernexus 2.0 and NULL 24.1.

What I would like to do however is revert this back to a stock kernal with the fastest most stable stock ROM out.

I'm not 100% sure in the best way to do this?

Replace the kernal with stock, download the ROM then just wipe the phone before install?

Hey guys.

I have had some issues with my note 2.

I had an open Samsung model GTN7105T and I swapped it with the N7105 as it's the "international" version as I thought I may have dramas rooting and installing custom roms etc.

Now, it could just be me or I didn't notice properly when I had the the T variant but it seems I'm getting less signal with the non T variant. Could this even be possible? I'm under the impression no, as it's basically the same handset in every way.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Power Bank caused poor battery life, Wipe Battery Stats.

I thought I share my negative experience about using a power bank / portable phone recharger. I had bought a very cheap 5000mAh power bank from China on eBay. Sorry I no longer have eBay link but what I bought which was advertised as HTC One X compatible and it included a 1A power out USB port.

I charged the power bank and then charged my phone from 50 odd % to 100%. Then again from 37% and it only got as far as mid 50s% and the power bank ran out of juice. Afterwards charging my phone normally would take roughly 2 - 3 hours to charge and although it was showing 100% I would get no more than 5 - 6 hours of battery life. I put up with this for some time and eventually bought and installed a replacement battery which was authentic. I charged my phone and the same thing happened. No more than 6 hours of life. So I thought something had been ruined in my phone.

Anyway I have ViperX on my phone and last night noticed there had been a new version 3.6.1. I was in the ClockworkMod advanced settings to wipe the Dalvik Cache that I saw an option to Wipe the Battery Stats and the battery works perfectly.

Out of curiosity does anyone have any knowledge of what may have occurred with my battery/phone by using the power bank.

Thanks

Adrian.

I have the official HTC Powerbank and haven't noticed strange behavior yet.
[HTC One X] Robotukas:
What is cheap it doesn't mean that always good quality. First read review from people and read about company.
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
PowerBank doesn't efficiently charge your battery, so it can't expect the same output that you get when you charge from a wall charger or a PC... and once you stop using the powerbank, it may take 2-3 battery cycles for the battery to settle down again! ;)

I'm using Ambrane PowerBank (8000mAh) and I must say I'm pretty happy with it!
[HTC One X] Vcek:
power banks mess up the percentage reading, I dont really think battery pack can degrade the battery in few charges. The last few percentages could last upto 1 day (it happened on my old android, the phone showed 33% for full day.) this is mainly because cheap power bank, runs at low voltage, and battery percent is measured by voltage.
[HTC One X] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
Well..... With me Rule of Thumb when installing a new Rom or Battery would be to dona full drain then full charge then Wipe Batt Stats.... Every new Rom has a different battery affect on the unit that's why I wipe after an install.... Also don't forget if you install apps.... That could also drain your batteries more than others... I personally don't think it's the power source.. Meaning the power bank..... Weather it's charging at 300mAh or 500mAh or at 1A....100% on your battery is 100% no matter where you're getting the charge from... Kinda like filling up a cup.... Weather you're using a teaspoon or tablespoon or a tap to fill the cup.... When it's full it's full.... Really the only difference in chargers is the more output going to your battery the faster your phone will charge....

That's what leads me to say it's the software being flashed to the phone.... Not all are "battery friendly".... So after flashing.... Do a full charge then wipe the battery stats.....
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
Just FYI but i recall reading somewhere (its on here somewhere) from an Android engineer, that the battery stats are automatically wiped on reboot and also when the phone is fully charged, so any effects from manually wiping the stats is more of a placebo.

Unless they've changed it all recently.. It was probably about a year ago that I read about it

Just asking so is it advisable to use powerbanks? Will it damage the already battered battery that HOX has?
[HTC One X] erwinyap69@gmail.com:
From my experience I would say go ahead.... I use the cheap 20,000mAh power banks from eBay at a cost of $20 and have had no issues... The bank has 2 USB charging ports with outputs of 1 & 2 amps.... I used the 1 amp for my HTC One X & now the 2amp port for my Note 3.... NO issues.... I use the charger bout an hour a day all week and charge the bank once a week....

Hello Adrian,

I too faced the same problem. I have charged my Samsung Galaxy Tab T310 with MI portable charger 10400mah. my tablet charged with in 2-3 hours but the battery started draining very very fast. later I came to remember the basic rule of checking the output of the portable charger(2.1Amp) and input required by my tablet(2.0 Amp). I think this variation is resulting in battery drain.
[HTC One X] bluezheng:
using a power bank

You should buy one good quality power bank
[HTC One X] victor96:
Being cheap doesn't mean good quality.

I got a 20000mAh power bank from avantek in amazon after my friend's advice.

it really works and i see no harm to the phone, though a little expensive ($49.99) for me.
[HTC One X] FloydSmith531:
Power banks use a charger, or not, to store power in some media (battery, capacitors, etc) internally and can transfer that energy to another item (cell phone, pad, etc) at any time without further muss or fuss.

Portable chargers will require some active source where they are used other than what they carry with them. Connection to a car power port, setting up a solar panel in sunlight, etc. will be required at the time and place of use.

A notable exception to this is the solar chargers DIY types are whipping up these days. They do both things, it would seem. They carry the small solar panel to produce the energy and a small set of rechargeable batteries to capture it for later use. I suppose you would have to classify these as hybrid charger power bank systems.

One carries a power source connection or generation circuit with it only and the other carries a bank of storage devices to draw from at any time.

I hope that this will help you understand the difference better. Good luck!
