[General Questions and Answers] Shinkoku:
Friends,

If there's anyone here who lives in Japan and uses phones with Wimax (like ISW11SC, AU's Galaxy s 2, for example), I would like ask a simple question.

How's Wimax? Itself, and comparing to regular 3G? The speed, the reception, the area?

I live in Japan myself and currently have AU Xperia Acro phone with regular 3g. Not too speedy but ok and decent coverage. However, couple of years ago I had a Wimax wifi router and I brought it back to the shop after few weeks of usage. The reception was awful, even in Tokyo I had to put router close to window in cafes etc. to get some signal, and the area was small, too. Was a nightmare.

Now I'm thinking of getting the mentioned ISW11SC, but kind of worry that I will stay without net with that lousy Wimax. Or maybe it's quality is different in phones, or they just developed...

Thanks!!
[General Questions and Answers] Snakiest:
Hi

I've been using that very model for more than a year now. You can check AU site for Wimax coverage and see if your area is well covered. I live in Kyuushu in a fairly rural area, but even my place was giving me two bars and stable 4-5mbps. Downtown it will give you around 10-12. I stopped using it a month ago to save 500 yen and also see how well 3g fairs against it, and to tell the truth I don't see much difference in terms of quality. The connection drops in the same places during train trips, so it's only the speed. Funnily, my parents in Russia use 3g and it gives them stable 5-7 mbps which is its theoretical maximum. Frankly speaking, technologically advanced Japan has been quite disappointing in this regard because 3g here gives me 2mbps maximum in the right place and at the right time with wimax being somewhere near Russian 3g. And they pay about 600 yen for it total. Bummer.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for reply.

I live in Tokyo but go to different places around Japan for work. The time I was using Wimax myself the reception was so terrible even in the center of Tokyo (Shinjuku), that I gave it up. Outskirts and trains were no better too, I guess. I remember I checked that "coverage map" before signing the contract - but it was no more than a sheer lie in the end. Not even close.

I wonder, you ever used your phone in Tokyo? Judging by what you say must be ok, but still...

I had Softbank's Wimax, though ( I think). Wonder if there's any difference between Softbank's and AU's Wimax, or Wimax is kind of independent provider...

P.S. Тоже из России, что ли? Хехе :)
[General Questions and Answers] Snakiest:
Never really been to Tokyo for more than a couple hours. And it was a long time ago, so I can't really help you there. For me it worked all right, but I'd still recommend going for LTE on AU's HTC One coming this June. It's way faster for the same money. At least on DoCoMo.

P.S. Да, странно получается. Два русских шпрехают на английском.-))
[General Questions and Answers] Shinkoku:
Ну тада всё с английским :)

LTE не рассматриваю, так как это лицемерный грабёж. До 7 гигов - LTE, a после 7 - 128 кб/с. Пещерный век. Ну что это. И цена дороже.

Шарлатаны и жулики, короче, и Au и Docomo. Пудрят мозг.

А про One не знал. Интересно. Но, пока доволен своим 3g...
[General Questions and Answers] Snakiest:
Ни фига себе, и правда есть лимит. Совсем сдурели эти японцы. И так недешево каждый месяц обходится... Отмечу лишь, что по цене базовая подписка такая же, как и с Ваймаксом. Вот если после 7 гб их дополнительный план покупать, то в копеечку влетит...

Что-то мне подсказывает, что писать на иностранных языках запрещено правилами.-)

Ах да, на всякий случай. Если будешь брать С2, советую обратить внимание на этот сайт.

Musbi.net

Там разлоченные телефоны по вкусным ценам продают. Если оператор модель не отдает по какой неординарной скидке, то на этом сдайте скорее всего дешевле будет.-) Погугли магазин, мне тут прямые ссылки нельзя еще выкладывать. Новый С2 там 12500 стоит. Я год назад за 22000 покупал.

Searched the q&a thread going a few similar posts but nothing exactly like this.

Had anyone found a way with the stock text notifications to display the contacts name who is texting you rather than receive a message saying “new message" every time?

There has to be a fix for this...

Thanks in advance

You can also use the multi page lock screens that are part of 4.2 and add a communications widget or stock messaging

Widget.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GSUS969:
Right. But that isn't what the OP wants. Although I'm sure someone much smarter than me who develops these ROMs will add the requested feature as on option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] russiandivxclub:
Hi guys ! This is my 4th Galaxy and every time first thing I've done before ROOT -->CWM--->FULL Back up within CWM--> Unlock with CODE--> Install CM --> Enjoy

That was my formula always and with it I'd be able to save Stock/Rooted fresh OS in case something needs to be done and because I did it with CWM it's really easy to restore. But this time I think I'll hold my horses. Too much chatter about things that was not a problem before ...some OTA updates, lock bootloader, etc. Can anyone create post that cannot be replied to with Q/A that matters and update it as more info become available. I mean questions like should I OTA update (if one available), is good root method available or not, is CWM available etc. Just a few things that EVERYONE in here needs to know. Because as of right now everything is a mess. Bootloader hacked ..but it's not REALLY hacked ...no CWM on official page yet ...some sim unlock method available (non code) etc. I got this nice device and REALLY want to do above formula and start enjoying my i337 but because so many questions and no proper answers I can't. So I guess what I am saying Moderator create Office Q and A that CANNOT be replied to and just update with latest info that checked and working properly. Because too much noise right now. I hope I am not alone asking for some clarity.

We won't get GPS working till we get a 4.2.2 update. ( I think )
[Motorola Atrix HD] pcarenza:
Wait - what's this about no GPS? Is this just for the Atrix HD cause Razr HD both models work fine.

BTW this is 4.2.2-based.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Motorola Atrix HD] adelsalem:
GPS no go here either other wise so far so good
[Motorola Atrix HD] helldogg75:
Yes, bootloader is unlocked. Everything but GPS is working in this ROM. Nice work. Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix HD] pcarenza:
Hmmm OK, I'll check the GPS configuration... maybe I missed something..
[Motorola Atrix HD] matt99017d:
Any ROM based on 4.2.2 the GPS will not work on the AHD. Or at least that's history....

I don't think its anything you did. I think the only fix is the AHD getting an update. . .

Pacman ROM was built from source, GPS was a no go.
[Motorola Atrix HD] sickkside13:
So far it runs good wifi works for me so far and yes gps is the only issue but some people here say gps work only if u flash back to ics maybe we can use ics to fix gps but idk i tried flashing back to ics with fastboot then flashed cm10.1 and it didn't work.

Hi,

I'm a big Samsung fan, i've had the S1, S2 and currently own the S3..at the moment i'm running cyanogenmod 10.1 and after a few initial misgivings about it's lack of features compared to a sammy touchwiz rom ... i'm really starting to like the aosp feel and look..

Now after a year of owning the S3 i'm getting a bit restless and feel like a change.. the nexus 4 is the phone that's intriguing me most. So I have a really simple question, is it a sensible move to the 4 from the S3.

Carl.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomnoob83:
Yes only if non removable battery or SD card is not a problem which I personally don't mind and the camera won't to better but around the same and no lte then I'd say go for it , it does give you a bang for your buck especially with development I use P.A which is awesome
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
The main pros of the Nexus 4 that I keep listing anytime I tell people about it are the following:

1. Price. $350 is pretty much half the price of any other competitor to the Nexus 4

2. Pure Android, updated directly from Google. As soon as a new version of Android is released, it's on the Nexus. Google develops Android FOR this device.

3. Design. Glass front and back, it's a solid phone. Looks sleek.

Now, newly-released phones do have slightly better hardware. But we're getting to the point of diminishing returns. We're packing so much hardware into these devices, you'll hard-pressed to find software that actually makes use of it. I think the only debate you should be having is buy the Nexus 4 now, or wait until the next Nexus comes out, possible during the holidays. That isn't to say this phone won't still be a solid phone then, but I can understand if some people wait to buy updated versions.

To answer your question: yes. It is definitely worth it. At $350, it's fiscally irresponsible NOT to buy a Nexus 4. Right now I'm paying $30/mo for a tablet plan on AT&T with 3gb of data. Having weird and crazy options like that don't seem to happen with other phones. I feel like the Nexus 4 is YOUR phone, not 80% your phone, 20% the manufacturer's.

Spoiler alert: I might be a little biased, but c'mon. It's a sweet phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweaked:
No, don't buy a N4. You obviously can't be bothered to research and figure out if this phone is worth it or not. You definitely aren't going to do any other research when you attempt to Root, Rom, and Mod......Buy a different phone and clutter their forums.:silly:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonapunk:
Before I read everyone else's post I want to say I came from the gs3 had gs2. I would do it again in a heart beat. However it's not a super huge upgrade like it was from gs1 to gs2 or even gs2 to gs3. The software is where I enjoyed the phone the most.

I loved my screen on my gs2 and gs3 on this I wasn't impressed until I got used to it. Now I feel samsung screens have to much pop in the colors

Hope this made sense

Well the guy is trying to get perspective from people who actually own the device and use it day to day which is much different than reading any review from someone who might be biased in one way or another.

Just something to consider before jumping to conclusions

Not in love with the Nexus 4. Have had it since January when it replaced my SGS2 (T989). I really appreciated not having to search for the least buggy ROM, as the stock was nice but at this point I'm dissatisfied with the Camera, which seems to produce mostly mediocre pictures (sadly, and since my other devices and cameras produce better ones, I'm afraid it's not (usually) operator error); the screen, whose color palate I don't love and whose auto-brightness is chronically dim (which can of course be mostly remedied by not using auto-brightness, though wish I could), and lastly the touch sensitivity, which I may try to adress now—I understand there are fixes. Nevertheless, I'm gonna see what T-Mobile will sell me a SGS4 for...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] slowndes:
I've got a Nokia 6310 car kit installed at the moment thats been redundant since I got my XDA2. I've heard about an adapter that can be used to convert this to a bluetooth car kit which will therefore support the XDA2 but I'm slightly skeptical as the manufacturers state it supports headset and handsfree profiles but works better with handsfree.

As the XDA2 only supports headset I was wondering if anyone had tried this setup?

Lintech Bluetooth

Hi slowndes,

I have been using this equipment for some time.

In fact, the adapter supports both handsfree and headset profiles but since the XDAII only supports headset the full capabilities of the adapter are not used.

This means that a lot of echo can be generated and also the noise reduction is not achieved.

In what concerns the bonding and pairing the procedure is faultless.

I hope I have helped you.

As you will see in my posting under bluetooth ear peices section. I have tried everything, yep I have a lintech adapter if anyone wants to offer me something for it...

However... great product if used with a handsfree profile of a mobile phone, if you have Headset profile your kn*ckered. The Lintech doesn't transfer incoming calls always to the XDA II and you end up ring them back... costing and frustrating....

Get and earpeice, take the gear out the car and have less clutter...

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] pluginalong:
Hi all,

I'm thinking about using the Pattern Lock to secure my Note 8 when I'm out and about. One of the security issues I've observed (and read about) is that repeated use of the pattern with your fingers leaves a nice little smudge trail for someone else to follow. But it seems that this could be partially mitigated if the position of the pattern lock were simply shifted on the screen with each use (so that you're never/rarely making the unlock pattern in the exact same place). This could be even more effective if the app used some methods of moving the lock such that your repeated smudge paths would naturally (by nature of the lock being moved) be partially "overwriting" each other (making it more difficulty for an attacker to determine any clear smudge path). Has anyone come across an App that enables something like this? I've done some initial hunting in the Play store, but haven't been able to find anything.

I'm also open to other thoughts and suggestions. :)

Thanks!

SMS are 0.09 each (a bit expensive), but local calls (in germany) were included in the price of the SIM. I think there was a different pricing structure you could choose at 1 euro per day for unlimited data, charged each day that you use data but my german language skills are quite shaky, so I may have misunderstood. T-Mobile DE was/is the carrier.
