[Sprint HTC One (M7)] finalhit:
Not sure much much of this makes sense. There's basically 4 carriers and Verizon and AT&T has launched in most of them so I don't known what you mean by semi-exclusively. Being third in a 4 man race is nothing special.

There is a reason smaller markets are cheap...it's because they are small. It's not necessarily the best move to invest in the cheapest market...especially if it's as you say, at the cost of larger markets.

I doubt Sprint is retiring it's iden network without immediate plans to replace it. This is like throwing out your hammer in anticipation of buying another one next year.

I don't know why Sprint does what it's does but a lot of what you said seems to be wild conjecture
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
No offense, but a lot of what you're saying betrays both unfamiliarity with basic economics and technology.

Sprint is targeting areas where they can build out coverage cheaply, and with towers close to markets that, if they have service at all, are from more distant towers provided by AT&T and Verizon. Cost of tower rent and leasing is key, because if you try to build out a larger market, you will not only be behind two major competitors, but spend a significant amount of money to still be behind. It's harder to break into a market where other carriers have devoted a significant amount of resources to, as opposed to one that's more on the margins.

"At the cost of larger markets" also betrays a fixation on longterm, endgame planning. Sprint, right now, is investing a significant amount of money in IDEN teardown and LTE buildout. They have limited cash reserves as a result of both, and until/if the Softbank merger goes through, they're not really looking in a cash infusion anytime soon. They need to get more people and more plans in the door, and the way to expand reach is to target less-solidified markets. Once they have those, they can try for the cities.

It's your comment on IDEN that really has me baffled. Did you even do a cursory search as to what IDEN is? IDEN is older network technology that used to power Nextel's network, and after the Sprint/Nextel merger, Sprint continued to maintain an entirely separate telephony system that, at most, provided patchy extended coverage for its CDMA devices. Meanwhile, the old IDEN equipment continues to hog spectrum that Sprint needs to build out its coverage.

The silliest thing about all of this is your last point: "why would they shut this down without planning to replace it?" Sprint's entire current network is meant to be a replacement for IDEN...and the IDEN shutdown isn't exactly new news. Sprint (http://newsroom.sprint.com/news-rel...-network-on-schedule-to-shut-down-june-30.htm) has been planning this for almost the last year and a half.

That info is seriously one Google search away.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] finalhit:
No offence but your statements betrays the facts, and misrepresents what I actually said.

Sprint already have towers in L.A. metro area. In fact L.A. has lte now...before the merger. Spirit has towers in Vegas, and is deploying lte there now... so there goes your theory?

Sprint is not new to these markets. They already have infrastructure here. The cost/benefit ratio in deploying in these markets makes much more business sense.

I know about IDEN. Notice my statement "tear it down without replacing it immediately"...my point was, they DO intend to replace it. An act they have committed to..Not contingent on a merger that may or may not happen. Sprint has been planning on doing this before the merger was even an option. A simple Google search would tell you this.

Not so sure why you act so all knowing. You're as oblivious to sprints plans as me or anyone else.

I apologize for betraying my unfamiliarity with both basic technology and economics.

---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ----------

Further research shows that Sprint does not launch lte in markets until it's his a certain percentage of deployment (50ish). So larger markets take longer to deploy

So there you go.

Again, my apologies for betraying my unfamiliarity with both technology and basic economics.

Hi,

I got my new QTek 9090 and created successfully a bluetooth bond for ActiveSync. ActiveSync works fine, but I miss an entry in the menu "Tools" of ActiveSync that lets me connect to my computer.

On my QTek 2020 I got a menu-item that says "Connect via bluetooth...". When I tap that item, my PDA connects to my computers and start to sync. On my QTek 9090 I can't find a similar menu-item!

How can I add this?

Thanks in advance!

Sam
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] XDA2-owner:
I noticed this too as a difference between the XDA II and the M2000 (or XDA IIs)

They only way I can see to initialise the sync from the phone is to go into the bluetooth manager, tap and hold on the activesync connection (pairing) and select Connect, which kicks off activesync.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] samvds:
Hi,

Anyone got a suggestion to create a kind of a shortcut to this?

hello. i've been trying to root my kfhd7" for more than a week now.

i've tried almost everything here on xda. also on google. and nothing made a chance.

this kindle is a unregistered kindle. i got it from cash converters for 50 pounds.

i cannot register it.

i've done all, drivers.adb.eclipse.sdk. nothing goes like it says on forums.

7.3.1_user_3140720

if anyone knows how to root and push twrp, let me know, please.

thx in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
What were you using to try to root it? Also i figured i would ask but your using windows right? I personally use linux to root mine because i don't have to worry about driver issues typically and i prefer linux but i can help you out probably on windows. Also u have adb enable on th kindle correct?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vetox:
windows 8.

Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry

QemuRoot

yea i got adb. i rooted my hox+ 2 months ago.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
I am going to throw a random guess out there based on experience with windows 8. Windows 8 has a nasty little feature i think vist ha that i didnt see in windows 7 about unsigned drivers. Last i checked when usine the adb driver on windows u hav to modify the one that come with the sdk, not very difficult if you know what your doing, problem was i can remember if the drivers were originally signe or not but by modifying them to accept the kindle adb interface it wouldn't let it be considered signed because it was tampered with so windows 8 would throw a fit an not let the drivers install. That's just what happened last time i used window 8. I don't know if this i your problem but if you open a command prompt and run adb devices with the kindle plugged in with adb enabled what is the response.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vetox:
error: more than one device and emulator.

adb devices:

D025A0A.......... device

emulator-5554 device
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Ok weird seems like driver aren't the issue, usually on windows 8 that's what i check first, unless that happen to be your phone or something but i would throw a guess that having the emulator running at the same time might cause problems. I may not respond for like half an hour i have to go somewhere but il be back in a bit. If worst comes to worst i can always use teamviewer to help you unless your uncomfortable with that. I feel kind odd suggesting that on a forum, but that's how i usually help people. Anyways i would disable that emulator and try rooting again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vetox:
i can't get this emu killed :P
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
Uh great.... did you make a android emulator or something with the sdk? If so try deleting it from the manager.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vetox:
nah. i didn't create it. when i sayd i can't kill it i meant through cmd
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
This is aggravating, i would be pretty sure you're having issues because of more than one adb device but i have no way of knowing, nor do i know how to kill that emu offhand. I am curious because i haven't seen this scenario before, but if u type "adb shell" does it present u with choose which device or anything like that?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vetox:
after i type adb shell, i get:

Do you happen to have bluestacks on your pc. I had the same problem and as soon as i shutdown bluestacks it found my kindle. Also you can try to kill adb and possibly the emu from task manager processes tab. I think killing adb should do the trick though.

Hello guys,

This one is driving me crazy right now. I would like to set my lock screen widget to a definite place.

Let's take Paris for example. I want only that to be displayed and not the meteo of the city I'm in right now.

So how do I do that ? Because right now I disabled locations...and the widget tells me to activate locations in order to show the meteo info.

Would like some help from more experienced members.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Longpress the meteo widget, now you can edit settings at the top of the screen at left, and select paris :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelcastrol:
Works perfect for the widget added on the desktop but not for the lockscreen. Am I missing something ?

Maybe it's not possible to do that :( I mean can't seem to be able to change blinkfeed, lockscreen or appdrawer location like you describe.

ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) is a replacement recovery option for Android devices.

This is a noob friendly tutorial for using clockworkmod recovery. Every basic thing required is explained in detail.

download :

1. you can download cwm through rom manager. installl rom manager through playstore, then click on the option to flash recovery.

2. for samsung devices, cwm can be flashed via odin. Cwm in .tar format has to be downloaded for this, and is placed in PDA box of the odin.

you can go into recovery mode by pressig ( volume up + power button)

To move between the options of the recovery, use the volume up/down buttons to navigate, and power button to select any option.

TO FLASH A ROM/MOD THROUGH RECOVERY

:

go to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard> click on the rom of mod you want to flash/install.(remember to clear data,cache,dalvic-- read it below)

TO MAKE A BACKUP AND RESTORE

:

The major feature of recovery is to backup your rom, so that if something unusual happens to your device(softbrick), you can go to recovery, and mend it.

Go to backup and restore, click on backup, to create a backup and click on restore to restore the backup image. Backup file takes about 500 mb of space(it varies with devices).

Make sure that your device is 30% charged, before carrying out these operations, as the process may take time.

before flashing a rom, do these wipes

1. wipe data/factory reset

2. wipe cache partition

3. advanced > wipe dalvic cache

If you dont do these, you me end up in a bootloop. in other words, your device will not start.

after completion, click on reboot system now.

at last, as you read in every post, i am not responsible for any bricked device.

[HTC One S] mongoosesRawesome:
Got an update notification last night for 3.14.531.17 (19.72 MB). I'm running Unknown's ROM 1.7.1 so I thought this was a bit strange. Has anyone else received this update?

Anyways, here's a link to the update file for anyone that's interested and intrepid enough to try it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ajueet3ta...e_320853foljnqxv82dc62l1.zip.20263.enc?v=0mcn MD5: af450b9f70e14fd01798031e7c52228e

So far I have not run it. I am on CID: T-MOB010, S-OFF for anyone that's curious.
[HTC One S] hasoon2000:
Your file is corrupted.
[HTC One S] mkinney88:
no its encrypted that is what the .enc at the end is.
[HTC One S] hasoon2000:
Oh yeah. Forgot about that encryption crap that HTC has.
[HTC One S] mkinney88:
can you remove the .enc from the ota.zip.enc cause i know there is a program to remove the encryption from RUU ROM01.zip but i don't know if it works on the OTA zips cause the RUU ROM01.ZIP that is encrypted doesn't have the .enc at the end.
[HTC One S] hasoon2000:
Just tried it right now actually and it says "Invalid HTC AES encrypted zip file". I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu but I have decrypted a few RUUs before, just not OTAs.
[HTC One S] mongoosesRawesome:
I just deleted the file, ran the update check and downloaded again, and I'm getting the same file - MD5 matches. So if it's corrupted, then it's likely the source file that's corrupted.
[HTC One S] mkinney88:
its not corrupted its just encrypted, ill keep trying to check for an update but i don't get anything. I even ran the RUU and still no dice??

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

i wonder if you try to run the update and when it reboot it will unencrypt it and before it errors out you and adb pull from a temp folder or something

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

did you try and remove the .20263.enc off the end and try decrypting it
[HTC One S] hasoon2000:
Yup. I'm thinking of ways to decrypt it
[HTC One S] mkinney88:
any new ideas?
[HTC One S] hasoon2000:
I renamed it as update.zip and attempted to flash it. It failed. My One S is completely stock since I'm going to sell it. So it may be a bad download or something. Not too sure.
[HTC One S] mongoosesRawesome:
It's definitely weird, I'll give you that. Especially since I haven't seen anyone else receive this update OTA. I just deleted, rechecked for updates, and it downloaded again, and I checked the MD5 with the previous file, and it matched, again, so we can rule out a bad download. Perhaps a bad source file.

Since no one's been able to apply the update and it's not listed on the t-mobile website, who knows.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WorldIRC:
Hi Guys,

I am working on a way to enable the AWS HSPA bands for the ATT / Canadian variant of the HTC One.

On the Samsung S3 / S4 / Note 2, one would enable RNDIS mode on their device, connect it to their computer, and the phone would then display in hardware manager under com ports. From there, you could access the Qualcomm QPST software and modify the deep-level modem firmware as you see fit.

Is it possible on the HTC One to enable whatever mode necessary so that I can begin the next steps for this project?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Tried #*0011#* and *#7284#, no such menus as in samsung. Looks like HTC secret codes are either different, or HTC has blocked them out completely somehow.

Based on the same radio chip as Samsung, the potential is definitely there.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
at this point it seems the only way to get access to the deep radio firmware to change the bands are if the phone is S-OFF. there is a solution in the works currently for S-OFF and once that has happened then everything will probably go off the chain until then your just going to have the live without the AWS signal, though other than for the 64gb intl version of the ONE, one can only wonder why you didnt purchase an tmobile HTC one to begin with.

I know, this is an old thread but I like the old phones.

I can confirm that a US Cellular Samsung S4 Model SCH-R970 can make calls and do SMS on a GSM carrier (Verizon) in my case. My problem is 4G data isn't working, yet. Edit: I am able to get 3G data going, but 4G is not.

I recently picked up a cheap but perfectly good US Cellular S4 and was able to use my Verizon SIM to make calls and SMS. It appears that the phone is only set to CDMA so data with Verizon isn't active at this moment (I am using wifi). The trick to getting the voice and text working was letting the phone go through 5-6 system updates over the course of 5-6 hours yesterday over wi-fi. After the last one, the phone "unlocked" from US Cellular** and let me use my Verizon sim to make calls and send text.

**This falls in line with what it says here uscellular dot com:

"4G LTE Devices

All 4G LTE devices launched by U.S. Cellular on or after February 1, 2016 are sold unlocked. Select 4G LTE devices (listed below) that were launched before February 1, 2016 are unlocked by installing the latest software update. Please refer to the Software Updates page to find the latest software version available for these devices and for instructions on how to download the latest software update."

I always liked my S4 so when my S5 broke (dead screen) I picked up an S4 cheap. I can't stomach paying $200-800 for a new or ussed S5-S8 phone.

Does anyone know how to add the GSM settings into the phone so I can select that as my data network?? Currently the phone only displays CDMA/LTE as the choices.

Ah, OK then I stand corrected. Perhaps I am running a fool's errand here (trying to get GSM going).

Let me update the situation: my current status is that 3G data is working on the SCH-R970 US Cellular phone (with a Verizon sim) but 4G never kicks in. Maybe I just need to visit a Verizon store.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis5pia:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mergs!:
Yep, thanks. I attempted to do that. But I don't believe I the setting took hold.

Details: I used "Offline SIM APN" tool (from Play Store), and manually entered the settings that I found online for Verizon. The Os is now 5.0.1 and the tool says it can no longer add the APN automatically on Android v4.0 or higher, so I did it manually. It appears to be in the phone but I don't know how to activate it on the phone.
