running on Freedompop, static on call to Nebraska, upgrade CM7 to 10.1?

I just heard about freedompop yesterday. Today I pulled my old phone, the Evo 4G, off my shelf, and I'm up and running on freedompop.

This phone had (has) Cyanogenmod 7.x (can't remember the x). I had to spend a good deal of time on the phone with tech support and it's not really clear to me that they did much of anything, although they claim they "activated" it. I then went on the internet and used google play to download freedompop messaging, entered my email in that app, and it began working (the instructions they sent did not work, gave error message when dialing ##786#).

1. I first placed a call from San Francisco to my sister in Nebraska. She said she could hear me fine but she sounded very static-y to me. That will not do. Anybody else encounter this or have an idea what could be the cause and the fix?

2. I haven't touched this phone in, I think, at least 18 months. Should I try to upgrade it to CM 10.1? I only ever rooted one phone one time (this same phone) and it's not at all fresh in my memory, so consider me a re-noob.

3. Can anybody else speak to reliability issues? I'm wondering if I can drop my $55/month Boost Force and use this phone exclusively. In theory, the free plan is enough for as little as I use cell phones, so I would rather spend my $55 more appropriately.

[EVO 4G General] tekweezle:
if you keep your expectations low, you may be pleasantly surprised. What can you/should you expect for free? to tell you the truth, I don;t know how long this will last or if Freedompop can stay in business. But until they pull the plug, I will try to enjoy my Sprint based Wimax 4G/slow 3G as long as it;s around but keep my Pageplus number active as a backup.

Whether you can use it as your main phone line, that;s up to you. You can;t port your number to this service and phone choices are limited. It uses internet for calling. So your quality of service will depend on the strength of your wifi/internet or coverage on Sprint's Wimax 4G/3G network. If voice is not your main need and you can get away with text messaging apps and general interenet apps like email, what;sapp, ect....then the free internet might work for you. Right now, I am using GrooveIP/Google voice for communication needs atleast until May. It works as well as wifi calling can work.

if you upgrade to anything but Gingerbread base ROM(CM 7.2 is Gingerbread I believe), you will lose access to the 4G modem(3G works) and front facing camera. there are no drivers for version beyond it and no way or plans to get them. But rooting the HTC EVO 4G is easy as flashing a file using recovery if you are already bootloader unlocked. A better supported phone like the Samsung Galaxy S2/Sprint Epic Touch might be a better choice.

As for reliability, well it;s based on the coverage of Sprint-the distant 4th place carrier. 3G coverage is available, Wimax is available in some major cities. Wifi/Internet calling can be a bit pokey/flaky at times but sometimes it works well enough. works best if you are standing still and not from a moving car. If you can live with the coverage, free is hard to beat. Choose the carrier that works best for you.
[EVO 4G General] chrisco23:
thanks

Thanks for your reply. I haven't put it to much of a test yet but I'll report back when I've made more calls. I just don't use the phone much. I was hoping to use it still as my primary phone, since I make so few phone calls.

Thanks for the tip re: gingerbread. I think, given that, I will leave the ROM well enough alone for now.

Interesting that you say that Sprint is a distant 4th. I wasn't aware of that at all. For some reason I had kind of just assumed, mainly I guess based on price and things I've heard here and there, that Sprint was only behind Verizon. What makes them 4th??

Chris
[EVO 4G General] tekweezle:
They are well behind Verizon and AT&T in terms of coverage. T-Mobile/Metro PCS has also leaped ahead of them. But your satisfaction may vary depending on who has service in your area.

My observation, Sprint Wimax 4G is about as fast as Verizon 3g with not nearly the coverage. Sprint 3g is just about on par to very slow DSL. Sometimes as slow as dialup.

So. My sister recently got a Verizon Galaxy S4 (i have no idea what model # or anything, as she lives on the other side of town) and she recently dropped it down some concrete stairs. She ended up breaking the screen (and possibly the digitizer) but the device still turns on. The blue light in the top left comes on, and the soft keys light up. Shes in desperate need of help because parts of her upcoming wedding plans (stored in pics, docs, and pdfs) are trapped inside this now half broken phone. She is unrooted, did not have USB debug enabled, and had a pin code on her phone. Is there any way i can adb in, or connect it to some program (win7) that would be able to pull all her internal sd card files and dump them on my computer? Any help is much appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] yogi2010:
So far i had 2 thoughts: have you tried plugging the device into Win7 and seeing if the regular mtp storage will work? Also if you had or could acquire an adapter to plug the phone into an hdmi tv, you might be able to send or upload the needed files somewhere, and/or enable usb debugging that way.

The pin lock might be a pain, but you could try guess-pressing the screen to unlock it. Otherwise you might be looking at also somehow using another adapter to plug in a usb keyboard.

I hope this gets the idea ball rolling anyway :) also you might be able to go into Download mode, even tho you can't see it, then flash a custom recovery where adb does work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] devynbf:
Plug it into a computer and take the files from the phone and add it to the computer.

If that doesn't work.

Buy an MHL HDMI adapter for our S4 from Ebay so you can connect to a television to see the screen there.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midskool:
I know this issue has been covered many times on the forum but I couldn't find a proper way to solve it.

I am having a Galaxy S2 running official jelly bean 4.1.2.

I don't know why Samsung has partition the internal storage this bad :/

It only gives us 2 GB for installing apps from the play store and currently I'm running out of Internal storage because I keep a lot of apps on my phone. I can't even move any app (not even a single app) to USB Storage. I always get the error that "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space."

I got around 6-7 GB free in my USB Storage so there is a lot of space there.

Is there any way to increase the Internal storage (2 GB) to a bigger size 3 GB or 4 GB or a solution so that I can transfer the apps to the USB storage?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Usb. Is were the Rom and kernel ie running system is. Sd card is were you keep apps and things and ext sd is well ext sd card. If you have 7gb free then you put them there. Why would you want to put them in Usb. ? Usb is for running system not for apps. Sd card is for that.

RR 4.2.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midskool:
Okay then What I meant is that how can I move the apps which are installed in my Internal storage(2GB) to the usb storage(or as u defined SD card) Since it always gives me the error "Unable to move app. Not enough storage space"

I dont have an external SD card plugged in my Galaxy S2. Just the internal 16 gigs. is all I have
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
What space is left on both pls. only part of the apps will be moved to Usb. Why do you want to fill up Usb??

RR 4.2.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GidiK:
On my phone, if apps are moved to sd they exist on the external SD card. Maybe that's why it says you don't have enough space, because you don't have an external sd card? I guess any small one would do, no need to splash out for a 64GB one...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midskool:
I got your point mate. You meant that I must need to have a external micro SD card to move my apps?

And in this case I can't move them to my USB Storage?

One thing more, I could move my apps to usb storage when I was using Super Nexus 2.0 ROM.. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midskool:
The internal storage is almost full just some MB's left there out of 2GB. And the USB storage got enough 6GB-7GB left. I want to fill up the USB so that I can download more apps because at this moment,my internal memory is completely full and I cant download any app from the Play store so that's why I want to move them to the USB storage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GidiK:
I just checked on my phone: with external sd card I can move apps to sd, without I get the message you mentioned. So either use an external sd card or a ROM that allows you to use the internal sd card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midskool:
Okay thanks for your help. :)

I guess I need to buy a 16 gb micro SD card. Can anyone tell me how much a good micro SD card costs? With a speed that won't be causing problems so that I can play games easily without affecting the speed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
You shouldn't need usb debugging enabled if you just want to connect your phone to a computer. Windows should load the drivers and display it as an mtp device and give you access to the ext sd and the internal sd. I don't know about the pin code. I can't remember if I had to unlock my phone before connecting it to the pc or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Toxicoblivion:
Will try. Im visiting her later this week and will take it home then. I know on my htc, if you have a passcode lock you have to plug it in and unlock at least once before it gives access :/

Correct. You'll have to do the unlock code to gain access.

Maybe you can find a remote desktop like app to remote control the device.

What version should i download for sprint galaxy s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
Are you on a stock rom? The out of the box stock rom after rooting with need the odex version. If you flashed the ota zip, you did to figure out if you downloaded the odex or deodexed version. You can also download ES File Explorer, and press menu for root explorer access. Then navigate to /system/framework and see if there is a android.policy.jar file. If it is alone, flash the deoxdex version, if you also have an android.policy.odex file, flash the odex version. Easier step would be just to flash a custom rom with it...moar, people's rom, wicked, etc...to still keep that stock feel.

Download and install TWRP instead of CWM, then wipe everything but your external SD card. Then install a stock ROM and start over. So long as you can get into at least Download Mode and use ODIN, you'll be fine.

just found something interesting. If you lookin the registery under hklm\extmodems\hayesCompat you can find the comport number set to 1.

I changed this to 4 ( > softreset) and made a dialup connection on my s100 to "hayes compatible on com1". On my pc i manualy connected the bluetooth serial port (to com4 on s100) and opened hyperterm on com6 (on xp).

so you get a connection like this

Hyperterm

|

XP Com6

|

Bluetooth

Bluetooth

|

s100 Com4

|

Hayes compatible modem dialup

hyperterm nicely displayes the modem handshake.

Now... could it be possible to use some sort of virtual modem driver to localy dialup to your own pc, thus creating your own PAN connection using the normal MS bt stack?

lemme know

It seems my phone is finished.Yesterday I flashed the Philz Recovery through Mobile Odin(through Recovery option).But as usual it showed 'Flashing and Rebooting',but the phone shut down without going to recovery.Then I tried flashing through PC Odin through PDA.After showing PASSED in Odin I disconnected the phone from the PC.But the phone did not reboot into recovery.So I was not able confirm whether Philz Recovery was installed.In order to confirm that I tried to go to recovery by pressing Power,Vol Up & Home buttons after shutting down the phone.But their was no response in the phone.So I tried Download Mode by pressing the Power,Vol Down & Home buttons.This time the phone went to Download load mode.So I again flashed Philz.This time also the phone didn't reboot to recovery.So I tried to enter recovery manually as before.This time also no response.So I made ON the phone opened M Odine and flashed PhIlz again.But the same result as before. I shut the phone down and tried the recovery manually again.No response.Then tried Download mode manually.This time no response for this also.Also I tried with JIG to enter Download mode(by pulling out battery,replacing it again and putting the JIG in the micro USB port without making ON the phone).For this also no response.And when tried to make the phone ON it does not respond to the Power button also.Today I tried to make the phone ON several times by pressing the Power Button without any results.The battery was with 80% charge when I tried flashings.Is the phone dead?What is the option now?I noticed the delay in powering up the phone from shut down(for about 25 to 30 minutes) earlier itself after flashing the 23 toggle mods with Modin .Is that symptom developed eventually to this state?Any how I am very desperate now.So will anybody please offer a remedy, if possible?Waiting anxiously for an immediate reply with thanks,
