[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nippero:
Ohh soo tempting to just switch asap.

Thanks for the help guys.

I would miss my QWERTY keyboard on this Photon Q though. Its basically the one and only redeeming feature >.> lol

How is typing on the HTC One? I was never able to really get used to swype on my phone :|

Wonder if I can restrict myself to screen typing only with my current phone, so I can get used to it.

i have both sprint and tmobile... tmobile is much better as for as 4g speeds.. it keeps up with verizon and att lte sprint doesnt keep up for anything.. tmobile is building their lte and should launch this summer in newark nj.. i have an apt in newark and central jersey.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] I Like Soup:
Well, I'm in the Phoenix market, but I'll give you my experience as I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. Being in the 5th largest market with no 4G coverage since I joined Sprint in Sep 2010 has been frustrating. This is mainly what led me to leave them. As you mentioned, unlimited data isn't worth much of anything if you can't get data at a decent speed. Kinda like being in a chugging contest with a straw! :) Anyway, I've had T-Mobile for about a week now and it is so nice to be able to use your phone to look information up or browse the web. I envisioned myself doing that when I joined Sprint, but never used my phone for those type of activities due to the speed limitations. Now, I have occasional LTE, but mostly 4G as I run around the Valley here. The 4G is way faster than anything I experienced at Sprint. Again, I don't know how the NY market is shaking out. One other reason for me to switch to T-Mobile, believe it or not, was price.

I'm a face to face kind of guy, so I went to a T-Mobile store. I told the T-Mobile rep that I was going to have to get out of Sprint ($80.08/month) and had a early termination fee of $160 (contract ends in Feb 2014). He said that he could apply a $100 credit to my next billing period to help on that front. Also, depending on the sales guy you get, ask for a percentage discount. I got an 18% discount on my bill (your mileage may vary, depending on how the rep wants to stretch). Anyway, tax/title/tags out the door with a monthly bill of $62.45 for unlimited everything!

I'm going to switch my wife from Verizon (17% discount from work and 2GB/month paying $97.18/month) and get her unlimited everything added to my T-Mobile acct. Our bill will be $107/month. With her Verizon and my Sprint bill every month, we were paying $177/month. Love saving me $70/month to spend elsewhere!

Good luck and don't be afraid to ask for credit for ETF and a percentage discount.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nippero:
Thanks! My office is in Newark, so I definitely want to have good service out here lol.

Oooh interesting... I called them up last week and asked if they could help me out in any way since my ETF would be hefty ($350.. ugh) but the guy on the phone said there was nothing he could do.

I'll try going into an actual store later today.

Question, did you go to a corporate store (big fancy ones) or one of the smaller authorized dealers?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] I Like Soup:
Hey Nip, I went to a corporate store. Hell, if you wanna try, I'll give you the guys name/number. Maybe he can set you up outside your state and ship it to you!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nippero:
that would be great, thanks!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Jeffrey4Free:
Actually guys I switched from unlimited 3G/text and I think it was 900 shared min at sprint and hopped on T-Mobile with unlimited 4G LTE/text and 1000 shared min. I pay $150 a month, but only because were paying off our phones(I have the HTC One and she has the GS4). I haven't regretted it one bit. Also since LA got lit up with LTE its been awesome.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
Hello,

I saw the Verizon S3 has been given the ability to run 2 windows at the same time.

LINK

Im just curious at why this feature hasnt been ported to the Gnex? Maybe its the hardware specs but its just a question i thought of!

Thanks for reading!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Been a while since this question was asked flooded the forum daily, but the general consensus then was it is not possible w/o a touchwiz port. If you want more info, do a search, it's been talked about multiple times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
yep I've been reading. there were some beta/alpha releases with touch wiz that gave the ability, very slightly. Force closed every few seconds, but other than that we would need a skilled developer and lots of time haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Most of us here agree that nobody wants TW/BLUR/etc, we bought Nexus for "pure Android" or AOSP or an enhanced AOSP ROM. That is why you wont likely see fully functional ports of those skins/overlays/bloatware, we bought Nexus to get away from that bs. No offense to anybody who likes those skins or the features that they might come with, but the Nexus community is more AOSP focused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johngreener:
hardware doesn't powerful enough, so if you run two window in GNexus, you will feel that works too slow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
I think AOSP is great indeed! im not one for sence, unless its sense 5.0, and TW just has the neat window effect. Im sure eventually it could be created natively eventually. The Halo idea is a step towards it i think. Maybe one day!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
What about Cornerstone? I loved it on my tablet, while I used it. Not sure how well it would work on a smaller screen though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
Pretty cool reading up on it! Not an app, but has to be built into the ROM itself. Its open source now and looks doable? if there is a will, there is a way. thanks for the share!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaizero:
Yeah, sorry if I created any confusion. It definitely needs to be baked into the ROM source. "He who we do not name" had an Iconia A500 ICS ROM with Cornerstone built in. It was nice but he didn't include it in future releases of ICS or JB. My understanding is, is that it's really designed for larger screen devices like tablets. I'm pretty sure text etc. would be too small to read in the smaller multitasking windows. But running 2+ apps at once on a GNex and being able to bring them to the larger window at will would be pretty darn sweet. :highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
Hell yeah!

Here are some nightly builds it appears for the GNEX, but not for toro, which i have.

Link is here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
In all honesty, why? The device's age is clearly showing with the ongoing firmware updates that are optimized for higher end devices. The GN, while still a great phone, is becoming somewhat slow and I can't see a mod like this being any better.

It would be indeed a cool idea for the N4 though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xaarzen:
you can try to do a full wipe, it often works ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icexx7:
I agree. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryclegman:
Mine as well keep whats alive alive! the development in the gnex is still outstanding.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oldblue910:
Hi everyone,

I maintain a firmware archive for all Nexus and "Google Experience" devices from the OG Droid up through present day. Now that I'm a GS4 owner, I've decided to start archiving Galaxy S4 firmware for US variants on my site as well. As I'm not as familiar with Samsung naming conventions and terminology as I am with Google ROMs, I was hoping some of you Samsung software junkies out there could take a look at my pages to make sure I'm using all my terminology correctly.

Here is a sample Nexus firmware page: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-7.

Here is my new Galaxy S4 page: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/galaxy-s4.

Make sure to click through to the detail pages.

My rule for the firmware archives are that I do not deal with unofficial stuff whatsoever. I don't do leaked ROMs or anything of the like. I only archive whatever was officially released to the general public, both shipping on new devices and OTA updates. The idea is to be able to follow the strict official release chain from launch to end-of-life. Also, all firmware is indexed on the site by the official firmware name in build.prop.

As you can see, right now I only have a page up for the AT&T I337 variant (the one I own). Right now, I'm displaying the Android version, build, PDA, CSC, links to the ODIN packages and links to the OTA updates if available. Are there any other pieces of info you think I should show on those detail pages? Also, I'm showing the OTA updates as "<new> from <old>" which is how Google names its OTA files. I know that Samsung sometimes does "<old> to <new>" (especially in the yakju(xx) OTA files for the Galaxy Nexus). Which one do you guys think I should go with?

Any feedback you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated. Once I've settled on a final layout, I'll create pages for Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and US Cellular. I'll also add pages for Cricket and C Spire when those devices actually launch. Why am I only doing US devices? Because there are a lot of international device variants and each one of them can have a ton of different firmware variants depending on the country in which it was purchased. It's way too much for one man to manage. Managing 7 US variants will be enough work as it is. haha

So anyway, click around and please provide feedback.

Thank you!
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
So I was playing this game..And suddenly I get the battery low..i kept playing till it reached 2-3 %..Then I plugged in the charger and while it was charging I kept playing the game..suddenly the android os shuts down in the middle of the game..Apparently I cant play games while charging at lower levels..The charger cannot take it and the battery discharge is greater than the charge! This is so stupid..I am supposed to use my phone anyway I like while charging the phone. Why is the power on the charger so low? :(
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
Are you using stock charger with stock cable? (=short)

It's 1500 mAh, you don't really see chargers that have more output than that.
[Xperia Z General] PNuT.:
ipad charger ;)
[Xperia Z General] DoubleYouPee:
But who as an Ipad when you have android?? ;)
[Xperia Z General] iDroid8:
I can't play games like Real Racing 3 at those levels but less intensive games work fine, the discharge is less then the charge but not by much.
[Xperia Z General] PNuT.:
Well I do as I was given it by work but I have also picked up quite a few of the charger units over the last couple of years... I particularly like the charger unit when matched with a macbook mag charger power lead so you can charge things from the other side of the room....

amazing what people throw away ;)
[Xperia Z General] Guhrasoh:
I use the charger from my Nexus 7, it has 2.1 Ah and it works like a charm. But beware that the phone gets quite a bit hotter if it's heavily used and charged at the same time.
[Xperia Z General] TomLopez:
Yes that is right and I have the same issue with high load...
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
I find this really stupid..That the phone discharges ,even though plugged in. Couldnt sony provide a more powerful charger..saved money on this? :(
[Xperia Z General] G1_enthusiast:
heat is the problem, if it get too hot it get thermal throttle, so thats why they gotta use 1.5a charger
[Xperia Z General] ethan3686:
can i use the ipad charger?
[Xperia Z General] fulltimepanda:
blame the screen, the phone charges fairly quickly with it off.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toasticuss:
Hi guys,

I am on the fence for getting an Atrix 4G phone, the only reason I want this phone is for the fingerprint sensor. I know that stock 2.3 it works fine but for the past 2 years with Ice Cream sandwich developement, people were saying that it should eventually come to 4.0 and 4.1.

Well has it ever come? Does the finger print sensor work on custom roms of 4.0 or 4.1 yet?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scary Guy:
undefined

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

No. There is a grass roots movement for a new kernel that is in alpha testing stage. Who knows if they will ever get it working though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplicityApks:
No, not yet.

But I am sure that the Kernel Port Project (check my signature) will eventually make some good rom implementations once the kernel has been finalized.

And on a personal note, I don't think it's worth buying a phone with so many other problems (no support, bad quality touchscreen and usb) just

because of a sensor which has always been some kind of a test from Moto (and you can get really good phones like the N4 for the price).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not.a.troll:
Motorola cancelled the ICS update over SIX months ago. FP scanner has limited functionality in custom roms due to lack of drivers. This question has been answered a million times in a million different threads. Use the search button above. It's not that hard. Also, when in doubt, Google.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toasticuss:
The Nexus 4 new is ~$400, the Atrix new is less than $150, I don't see how that is the same price...

I did a lot of searching and googling, all I found were posts from 2012, nothing new confirming the existence of the support. I would of hoped someone cracked open the drivers and ported them over.

I guess a gingerbread skin of 4.1 could be doable lol...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplicityApks:
Last time I checked, when the N4 was released, a new Atrix was still around 250$, so it seemes the price has gone down, my fault.

But seriously I'd choose the N4 far over the Atrix... even if you have to pay more than double for it now. Still, it's completely your choice and I don't want to persuade you to anything (as I own an Atrix as my only phone and I don't regret buying it).

Probably it's kind of the same with the Atrix like with the Galaxy S4, if you want the features which seem so awesome at first, you will not have the stock android design (and version) no matter what you do.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
And wasn't the Atrix 4G advertized at or slightly higher than $400 new when it first came out? Essentially, if you are looking for a cheap decent phone, then yeah, get the Atrix 4G with no Motorola support and support from devs as breakthroughs/updates to custom ROMs happen. Remember, Android 4.0 and up is all afterlife development. On a newer device, Android 4.0 and up is the minimum standard with continued support until the device reaches its end of life and enters into afterlife (the time after the manufacturer drops support)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] stephen_oliver:
I've been off the forum for a long while.

Could somebody update me on where we stand on ROM/Operator ROM versions and is it yet possible to install a REAL Bluetooth stack (i.e. one that supports a handsfree profile and passes car microphone into the XDA for voice recognition).

I have an XDA2 with an identity crisis (had a sexchange and now masquerades as an M1000 on Orange).

BTW I currently use a T610 with my Parrot car kit. What an outstanding implementation of Bluetooth services!! XDA developers could do worse than write a T610 emulator ....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
The current rom version is:

OS 1.72.00WWE

Radio 1.17.00

T-Mobile 1.72.190 (NL based)

iMate 1.72.126

QTek 1.72.601

I would go for the O2 or T-Mobile ones, but: There are many customisations available (like my own 1.72.903 T-Mobile based) with many extras that might suit your wishes.

The current ExtROM version of the imate is 1.72.800.

How (and why..) can I upgrade the Radio version to 1.17 (my current is 1.14.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] M4io:
@amir : you could replace radio.nbf from your upgrade with another 1.17 out of some recent update.

Just watch the country code.

and do not try to update radio alone. just reupdate with existing OS rom, new radio rom and existing EXtrom

About the why I'm not so sure. I don't recall the benefits of 1.17 against 1.14. maybe you could do a search.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
Only rom part that can be left out with a rom update is the ExtROM.

You MUST upgrade Radio & OS at the same time as a minimum.

The ExtROM can also be updated via the ExtRom Tools (which is less dangerous than flashing.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] donutshop:
Have loaded all the latest updates available but original BT problems still remain. I have a Nokia CK-1W car kit which has always refused to work though I did get some success using the Pocket Bluetools stack ( incoming calls only ). Don't know of any other solutions for BT right now ??? :cry:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] stephen_oliver:
Well I have the T-Mobile 1.72 ROM already (with Orange 1.66 ExtROM) and the Bluetooth is still rubbish.

Maybe I'm missing something but clean rom appears to just be a stock rom with very mild to no tweaks, so why would we be wanting his to come for these mods?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JimmyHACK:
I'm hoping its just something as simple as taking the apps from the other carrier s4's and just making a flashable zip. From there the makers of clean roms can also just substitute the other carrier dialer/messaging app instead of having to actually theme them.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] apollostees:
What's up guys. Really thinking of pulling the trigger on the N5100 from eBay or negrielectronics.

But, my question is how well will my data/voice coverage be on T-mobile? I know the phablet uses the 1900Mhz spectrum.

I also know T-Mobile has some 1900Mhz spectrum but I've been wondering about My hometown of ATL, GA.

Anybody here in the ATL metro area? How's your coverage? I'd hate to drop $500+ for a device I can't really use.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Bladerunner1825us:
I cant remember where I read it but I think that data will only be edge. I hope somebody corrects me if Im wrong but I might wanna wait and see what the new LTE model has in store.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] unremarked:
You will likely be restricted to 2G(edge) only. The N5100 supports the 1900mhz frequency, but not the 1700mhz. Support for both are required for 3G/HSPA+ service on T-Mobile.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Bladerunner1825us:
Thanks for the verification! Haha I remember that guy in yur sig from the HTC One forums. Craziness!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] foxmeister:
Not exactly true! TMo US has historically used the split 1700/2100 AWS band for 3G, meaning a device needs to support both bands for 3G access. However, since TMo got hold of some spectrum at 1900MHz from AT&T, they've been re farming to provision 3G over that band.

What this means is if you have a device that supports 1900MHz *and* you are in an area where TMo has re farmed the spectrum, you should get 3G.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] unremarked:
Sort of. It's not so much that TMobile got a hold of the spectrum from AT&T as much as they've always had it, but it was only used for GSM(aka EDGE aka 2G) service. Yes, they quite a bit from that failed merger which had sped their plans along quite nicely. You're right that the y're refarming/repurposing that frequency for use on their faster data networks but... correct me if I'm wrong, my understanding is that the refarming is being done to support LTE? As the 5110 lacks an LTE antennae, it won't be able to make use of it.

OP, to find out if you're in an area where this refarming is being done check out this website.
