[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
In absolute disbelief at your 3G speeds. Do you think that the problems around South Bay area are because of Network Vision upgrades and LTE? The Sprint rep told me, when I bought my phone, that we would get LTE by August (this month).

I really like this phone, and Sprints prices are very reasonable. How long do you think before South bay gets a stable 3G network?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] \m/:
Very unlikely you'll get any adjustments towards contract termination. If you happen to get ahold of a sympathetic Care rep, they may be able to reimburse you x amount of dollars per x months, but that's probably going to be about it. They give you 14 days to "try" their network. If you did not cancel within that 14 days, you are stating that you are OK with everything and agree to roll with it for 2 years.

As far as speed issues, I have seen ups and downs as well. I believe ever since the Network Vision expansion, Sprint has devoted less attention to general tower maintenance on the whole and more towards beefing up for future performance. Therefore a local cell site with a capacity issue does not get repaired/upgraded/tweaked as fast as it should, and all of a sudden your phone is pinging towers even further away just to establish data connection, hence the lower speeds and reliability.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] NORCALkID:
I live in union city and I have ****ty 3g and spotty 4g but I see a bunch of areas lighting up with 4g... The roll out has been slow. I checked the sprint website and if I search for my address it says I have lte in my are which I don't
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Man. I wish I had read up more about Sprint. I would have known about how much of a failure wimax was and would have stayed away.

Well, here I am.

My other concern is: Does anybody have a different brand of phone on Sprint and get better data speeds? I am utterly shocked that data speeds could be so slow in Silicon valley. Its really hard to believe that Sprint is so bad that it barely covers the 680 and 101 here.

Really, the slow speeds limit basic functions like searching and browsing. Forget about streaming and downloading.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] NORCALkID:
I've had almost all devices on sprint and it makes no difference the speed is crap. Only reason I'm still with sprint is because my business pays for it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] N0wy0ud1e:
I get about 700kbit download and 600kbit upload on average which is good enough for browsing and video calls but forget about downloading 50+mb apps.As long as texts work all the time and I can roam for free I'm good to go.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] luigi311:
Just remembered thanks to that guy mentioning roaming. Apperently people in the past people would flash a Verizon prl that would allow them access to their 3g service by forcing roam. After a while sprint would message them via a letter or something telling them they are excessively roam and their account will be terminated. This was a method that some were using to get out of their sprint contracts without having to pay the etf. Although this is morally indecent so it is up to u to try it. I don't know how the results for u will come out though since u just opened ur account just tossing it out there
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gmfeny:
Lmao!!! This is the very reason there is a sick of sprint thread. 3g is not usable in most areas. I was with them for 10 years b4 I finally got myself kicked off and went to att. Their data speeds are disappointing. I was never able to stream a YouTube video. I do think that call quality was a little better on sprint tho. I would suggest anybody who wants to use their networks data DO NOT GO WITH SPRINT
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
I would kill for this. Maybe 10 days out the the year I get 1500kbits for some reason. The rest of the time? 150kbits down. LTE I usually get about 2. I'm located in a major city along the east coast, 10 miles from the ocean.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I'm desperate people. I can't go along with this kind of service. I would be perfectly happy with 2 megs down. I dont need 30 megs down or whatever, and chances are, if Sprint has never really taken the effort to put decent 3G around here, they probably won't with 4G.

So about the roaming thing... Will I really get kicked out without an ETF? I think I can because I technically didn't ask them to kick me off, right? I just ended up accidentally roaming a bit too much. Does anybody have experience with the roaming loophole? Will I be able to keep this phone or what? Will they give me roaming fees? Is Verizon's 3G going to be that much faster?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gmfeny:
Lol yes sir I just got kicked off July 23rd but I switched to att the day I found out I could. I would just stay with a Verizon prl not like 00003 or something and you have to do it for at least 3 months in a row. I would leave my phone downloaded torrents every night before I go to bed. At least a couple gbs in size. Sprint didn't kick me off right away tho. I did this in December January and February then I eventually gave up BC I didn't think they would boot me. Then in June they sent the letter saying my service would be disconnected ETF FREE!!! So I Porte's my number to att and the rest is history
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Seems very doable if I set up a hotspot.

Just to confirm, does anybody else have experience with this? Are there any fees involved? This sounds too good to be true. I've looked this up online, and I see very few people who actually tried this and reported back.

But if I get to keep my phone and sell it and leave Sprint and go to AT&T and not have to worry about fees then I'll definitely do this with no hesitation.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] porksandwich9113:
Honestly, it's all about your location.

In areas with no Network Vision upgrades and ancient T1 backhauls, sprint's 3G is going to basically be unusable. While the EVDO towers can easily handle 1.5-2mbit of speed, the backhaul is so clogged that you are lucky to get 128kbps. (.1mbit)

I disabled the 4G Radio in my phone and did several speed tests on EVDO. This was in peak usage time (~1PM). I live in Maryland and I am in the Baltimore market rollout. This is a Network Vision tower, with 4G LTE I am connected to. The backhauls are fully upgraded with fiber. My speeds mostly sat around 1.7-1.8mbit. Enough to stream music on the go, load web pages, stream 360p youtube.

http://imgur.com/a/ygmHN

If you live in an area that is getting a 4G LTE rollout, the 3G speeds will definitely increase - and will probably be equal to those 3G speeds of the other CDMA provider - Verizon.

Then I enabled the 4G radio in my phone, ran another set of sets. About the same time (~1PM.)

http://imgur.com/a/4clVb

My average during peak times is anywhere from 5-9mbit down, with 3-5mbit up. Easily enough to stream HQ Music, HQ Youtube, quickly load web content, and even some HD netflix worked without problem.

During off-peak times, I easily speed test at 15-16mbit down, and 7-8mbit up.

http://imgur.com/a/MJbZc

My favorite has to be off-peak times. After about 11pm, everything is amazing. I can do multiple things online without issues. Tether to my PC, stream music, download files, ect. I've hit 16mbit down pretty easily, and I'm actually pretty far away from the tower. My RSSI is generally about 110-113dBm, which is getting to the edge of usability. I never lose my connection. (75 is right next to the tower, 120 is the edge of the signal.)

Man. You're on fire! NBA Jam style! Nice!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Haha NBA jams, wow I remember that....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
That baby scared me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
DAAAAYUM, didn't expect a CM10.2 build for Hercules yet. Will be flashing once I get home and plug my phone up to an outlet. My batt's almost dead. :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
My daughter lol?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
Lol I was expecting your normal picture THeN BAM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Haha yeah, had to switch it up lol, but I'll change it if she scares ppl, we can't have that now lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
Amazing how such a miniscule change to something such as someone's avatar is enough to startle some people. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dawgdoc96:
Which 4.3 gapps to use?

Nvm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
DL now, flashing as soon as gapps come thru.....yes my OFD has me fiending lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
goo is terrible
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
d-h is uploading, goo works great for me...

I will add link once done.

I built this about 16 hours ago. With so many commits every day. I am syncing and building again tonight, who knows maybe sound will be fixed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
:thumbup: I wanna test this baby out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Boots up fine, very smooth and stable actually, only issue is no sound, focal and clock fc and RR, but for a pre beta release this thing is amazing, and our ancient device runs it like a champ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Yeah buddy....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bzzybfrm313:
It will be awesome once sound is working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobiscool07:
No sound as in notification etc. Or just Video playback, games etc.?

Sent from Mars using my SGH-T989D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
No sound throughout.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NonexistentParan0ia:
Just finished flashing. All I have to say is that it's excellent for a pre-beta/alpha release but the lack of sound kills it for me. (AOSPA 3.90 Linaro also had this problem so I'm assuming this is caused by some code missing in the current 4.3 builds ported to hercules that accesses the speakers and headphone port)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
What launcher do u use? Just curious and i agree so far been running great thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
Trebuchet, I set animations in dev options at .5 and disable hw overlays.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Right on not to jock your style but imma run that for a bit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScottPomroy:
I was thinking about grabbing a s4 soon then I flashed this. Talk about sweet now I can wait till I can actually afford it. Great job man!!! What was in that last build you sent Goo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
I find apex launcher to be the best ... But that's just me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
I did too but I kept getting lag or loading homescreens when closing apps its smooth but with that it makes it feel blocky
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hatememarkz:
Flawless enough for some linaro luv

drankn BL SMOOTHIEZ ;)

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

U should try direct inject turbo

drankn BL SMOOTHIEZ ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
I've heard that from a few posts what is it and I'm guessing its a flashible mod works for all android base?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
It is. Bunch of scripts. Sometimes they help, sometimes they make it worse. I find it that init.d scripts usually start to get weird when you put a lot of them together. Just my experience though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
I believe its been reported already but I'm getting RR in gallery not when opening it up but when clicking on a picture from my internal SD no RR when clicking on pictures from ext SD :good: will be using this all day at work good day Martians :victory:

It's not the internal SD it only RR on pictures I've taken from other ROMs u know the other file that says camera I'm guessing that's what messed it up old wallpapers from int SD open fine the only one that RR is the other camera file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
so how do I prevent RR? this build is absolutley perfect except for the RR in gallery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Hmmm idk I just tried moving the files taken from previous and its missing the file in b1 archiver and file manager if u don't know what I'm talking about if u had previous pics saved from before and take a picture now u should have two camera files in gallery.. I read 4.3 does something with making file strands easier and it deletes alot of uneeded sources itll be fixed it just needs a partition for that.. Just dont open it is ur best bet.. I can't try it now but try looking for ur files on the computer and moving them to ur new camera file
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
Please explain like I'm 5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Boot into recovery mount USB mass storage hook your phone up to your pc and look for your previous pictures ur old ones either in DCIM or a picture file if u can find it try transferring ur pictures to your new camera file it shoyld work it rr because it cant find the source for ur pictures
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
new camera file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
i didnt know DarkKnight is only 5 years old:victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Look at the picture the file in the top left in the camera file generated from this ROM the bottom right file is the file with ur old pictures taken from ur other ROMs on ur internal SD. The only album that RR is the bottom right the rest are fine... I may of just figured out a fix gimme a min
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
Nope I looped had to reflash just leave it let team chopsticks do their thing:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
I put together a good 4.3 gapps uploading it will add to OP in a bit. Has KB you can swipe, most of the goodies I use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
Thdude, not thread jumping here but with 8/10 and before commits, what does it look like for HB 10.2?

Understandably the apps may not work with 10.2 (4.3) yet but Facebook, Instagram (IMO), and the few other apps I actually use will work. I really just want to see how the new file system works as far as dumping cache you don't need. Watched a pretty good YouTube video explaining TRIM.

Thanks for all your work. Been on XDA for years now, and you my friend are saving us money, keeping us up to date with Android and creating a somewhat decent hobby of flash flash flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
New build on Goo, d-h will be a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
What are theimprovements t
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
At this point to much for me to even try and list just look at how much they commit

https://github.com/CyanogenMod

https://github.com/TeamChopsticks/hercskytools
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Operation-A:
Thddude do you think this is the first 4.3 DD rom????? I MAY FLASH!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikeryder007:
I am about to try it too for the first time. Curiosity is kicking my can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Operation-A:
Let me know how it is as soon as you flash because i am really comfortable with my DD right now but really want to get on the 4.3 wagon!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hatememarkz:
Nand u can always go bakc :D:thumbup:

drankn BL SMOOTHIEZ ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
just flashed latest build, booted fine, looks good then had to reboot but it wont reboot

cleared cache ..etc ...Wont reboot

flashed rom again, gapps then i wanted to reboot to verify...again it wont reboot It just turned off...?????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
I do, and I am usinf as DD. :good:

I think you will not be mad for trying :good:

Make a Nand and try it you will like it.

:highfive:

Just tried to duplicate and it works correct for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Operation-A:
Ok I dont know what is wrong with TWRP but when it makes backups it does not restore them I am on TWRP 2.5 and i want to upgrade to 2.6 to fix this problem before flashing 4.3 can someone link me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
Check which SD card u saved it in. The click the thing and you should be able to restore. I'm still on twrp 2.5
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Operation-A:
When i click it it just forces a reboot on TWRP i don't know what is wrong but i dont want to even use 2.5 anymore i just want to see if upgrading to 2,6 will fix my issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikeryder007:
I will. it makes it easier to flash when you have your DD is dialed and working great. Hellybean is my nandroid so I will flash as soon as my phone is charged enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hatememarkz:
Downloading now

drankn BL SMOOTHIEZ ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
this is a very odd one:

i flashed latest build everything is fine but when i hit reboot(normal) it doesnt reboot it just turns off and i have to pull battery to reflash or restore backup.....which i did and reboot works....wat could it be?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
No idea I have tried to duplicate your error multiple times and cannot. I dirty flashed over last nights. What gapps you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
tried a diff gapps which worked older cm10.2 build and then your gapps ...still

i suspect either cache or not enough time to settle (which btw i cleared, let it sit couple mins)

we'll figure it out tomorrow

thanks tho
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
The one I made is pa's base gapps package, but I added a bunch to it from other packages and edited the installer a bit. I tested it pretty thoroughly. And is working well for me. Anyone else having same issue's as you with tonight's build?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
Your gapps works fine for me. Just flashed the latest cm with them. Went smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shadabt:
Phone booted first time after flashing 8/11. But wont reboot after that. I am using latest gapps in OP. Reverting to 8/10 for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
That is 2 of you now? Did you dirty flash? what recovery you 2 on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikeryder007:
I had the same thing happen to me. It booted up fine the first time, but I went back into recovery to fix permissions, and it would not boot back up.

I tried everything. It did it 3 or 4 times straight. It never pulled up the CM logo. I did a clean install, used your current gapps, and I am on twrp 2.6

No worries though man. I appreciate you working on this for us. I will try it again soon. I just pulled hellybean right back up and its good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
if you are fresh installing then why reboot to recovery and fix permissions?

about 150 have dl it so far and 2 people mentioned when they hit restart to restart normally it powers off. what you are saying is a little different. I cannot duplicate any of what you all are seeing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vsot13:
Make it 3. Dirty flash over previous build, TWRP 2.6, Banks 4.3 gapps. Booted first time, booted in recovery and went dead.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
gm all:

reboot issue...so far: -diff users -diff gapps -diff recovery used ....one common thing: rom dated 0811

dude ..and u thought u gonna have an ez Sunday morning....yeah right:silly: sorry

let me know how i can help:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -DarkKnight-:
Make it 4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScottPomroy:
Well it looks like I should go back to sleep for a little bit and see how the latest build is doing after I wake up. Hopefully the reboot of death issue is fixed soon. Happy Sunday folks! Oh I read a little thingy about this thingy called BrickBug. Should I have to worry about that with this OS?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikeryder007:
Well, I was having problems with FC's while just generally setting up my phone, and fixing permissions has helped me in the past. But I will be the first to admit, I don't know what I am doing. I was hesitant to flash a pre-beta build simply because I don't know enough yet to help the developer fix any real issues. I will keep reading and learning and though. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbush78:
Add another to the list
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
it is obvious that there is a reboot issue with the latest build

lets not flood the thread by saying add this or add that to the lis-----i.e. me too .....etc

this issue occur on fresh install + dirty flash---cwm & twrp----regualr gapps & ThdDude gapps

Lets post any NEW findings related to this reboot issue...we can t/s on our own till the devs find a fix

thanx:cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idtheftvictim:
add another one to that list
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jmahoneyy:
Hopefully this is helpful for those stuck in reboot. I was about to give up and revert to 4.2.

Clean flash build from the 10th with gapps from op on twrp 2.6

Reboot to recovery, fix permissions = no boot.

Flash build from 9th = no boot.

Flash build from 9th and gapps from op = BOOT

So you can get out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbush78:
Well one odd thing that started happening is my recovery began asking for a password and trying to do backups failed it thought it was 1/1/1970

After doing a full wipe and reinstalling 8/10 things went back to normal. May just be a coincidence but it happened

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aadi90:
Thanks Sir Thdude I wil give it a try but can anyone tell me that is 3rd party camera app working in this rom ? Sorry im noob here :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
Use my gapps

OK the build from 20130811 I originally dirty flashed on top of 10 which i flashed on top of 9, and I am having 0 issues. I wake up and see all these this posts this morning, so I wiped system, data, cache, dalvik, android secure, internal SD, and preload. I flashed 20130811 build and flashed my gapps. I let it boot, once it was up i did a normal reboot and all is fine. I rebooted to recovery and wiped dalvik and cache, and it boots fine. So again I reboot to recovery and fix permisions, and it boot fine. I cannot duplicate your issues. Maybe its remnants of 4.2.2 or your previous ROM causing you all these issues? I would say to those having problems back up your internal sd and wipe everything, System Data Dalvik Cache android secure preload and internal SD then flash ROM and Gapps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
I am very curious to see what happens after wiping sd card (i cant do it now) but u did mention clearing preload....how? I remember Jamieson script way back with older cwm.....elaborate plz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikeryder007:
On twrp, you just click preload in advance wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThdDude:
TWRP 2.6.0 under advanced wipe options. can select everything I listed to wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
I just duplicated the issue everyone had... Happend to me twice on dirty flash with your gapps. honestly i thought i was hardbricked for a second lol
