Only if their towers allow unlocked phones to use LTE in the area.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Woody:
Sorry for the interruption folks. Nothing to see here. Go about your business.

[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
I actually work for T. And Not in store. You should not believe the store reps. They normally don't know anything, all they know is getting the commission from your pocket & and make a mess in your acc so you call customer care and yell to a rep that has nothing to do.

They don't read the internal info.

Now getting on the subject. No gpro for tmobile. The LG G2, Motorola X, next iphones & note 3. Those are confirm phones from T internally.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I opened a new line with T-Mobile and used it the past two weeks. I was able to unlock my G Pro with the T-Mobile SIM. I immediately searched and located T-Mobile APN settings to take advantage of their LTE service. The only time I had LTE available to me was towards LA, an hour south from where I live. Yet as soon as I popped in the T-Mobile SIM into my old T-Mobile HTC phone, I got more than Edge signal at my house.

So please, can someone explain to me why, at my house, I could only get T-Mobile Edge signal on my AT&T unlocked OG Pro, but using that same SIM I got better signal on my T-Mobile unlocked HTC?

After contacting T-Mobile myself, I was informed that the towers in my area haven't been "modernized" to allow unlocked devices on their LTE network. Currently, only their T-Mobile designated devices could access LTE here.

I must not be understanding something here. I'm sure I still have that conversation on my phone somewhere...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Man, this brings me down lol

Well at least I won't be waiting around like an idiot for the G Pro!
[LG Optimus G Pro] cgigate:
Lol! , tower has nothing to do with unlocked phone.

Unlocked phone can be used in anywhere
[LG Optimus G Pro] NardVa:
T-mobile has their hspa+ and lte on the aws band, but your home area is only covered with hspa+. The G Pro does not support hspa+ on the aws band so at home you only get edge. The G Pro does support lte on the aws band so you will get fast speeds as long as you are in an lte area. The HTC phone only supports hspa+ but you have more hspa+ towers in your area than lte towers. Chances are you can take the HTC phone anywhere and get fast speeds.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Thanks! I found an app that helps me see coverage by service providers and the type of networks offered and it seems you are correct! T-Mobile has a measly spot off away from me, thus no LTE
[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
Waaaooo that rep get that answer from his a#$%. Tmobile has been working in what they call re farming. Its basictly that they move all the clients on 2g phones to 3g. So that tmobile could refarm that spectrum for lte..this was done in preparation for apple iphone on april 12 that the iphone arrive to tmobile. That actually cause that several other devices like android that use to work on edge now are able to get 4g or 3g or lte where available and stop the interoperability of none tmobile devices. All that thanks to crappy iphone. In resume either you are in a area that has not yet been re farm or it is and simply your lg does not have the correct apn. It is not the sim as lg g pro use the new sim type that enable lte.

Theres a treath somewhere here that using sqlite editor your able to enable the network mode on the lg. Wich will allow you to change bands. Maybe that will work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Hey thanks for taking the time to explain this to me. I guess the rep's explanation of things really twisted my point of view. Your patience to break it down for me is appreciated.
[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
Well theres a catch in a phone able to work on a particular carrier. In the case of the lg pro. If the phone is the one from at&t you should not have any problem. As long as your area has been re farm. But i can't say the same lets say on a lte phone coming from china or other country as they might run lte on a different frequency.

At least is what i have seen while working with clients that bought chinesse copy cats.

I took this call of a lady that bough a chinesse copy of a gs4 and she call to complaint that work on edge. When i ask what type of phone she got, she told me well its a gs4. I was like what the #$% you just told me is a copy cat so no lady you don't have a gs4. Anywyas theres was no way to make it work on nothing.more than edge.

So in way you are righ but the other person is righ to in a way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
I'm looking for a way to only have 4g on on my note 2. In my current location I have 1-2 bars of 4g but my phone continues to switch back to 3g every few minutes. I can easily get 4g back by toggling airplane mode on and off but it is a huge annoyance to have to do this. I have tried the 4g lte on/off thunderbolt app but receive a force close with beans 21. I'm also running nova launcher and don't see any widgets for toggling 2g/3g and 4g. Thanks for the help

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
You don't want 4G only. You wouldn't be able to send/receive calls or texts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
I realize that but that's why if I was able to toggle it on/off easily when needed it would be very useful. I was able to do this on my thunderbolt with lte on/off app(had toggles for 2g/3g/4g) so I'm wondering why it seems so difficult to perform on my note 2 or if it's simply a beans compatibility issue.

The problem is when I have a low/moderate 4g signal(1-2 bars) my phone seems to prefer 3g and switches to it every few minutes. The only way I can get it to switch back is to enable then disabled airplane mode and it will hold for another few minutes.

Still looking for any input/apps/ideas, thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Bump still looking for a solution to this. Currently in a situation(new location from before) with 1-2 bars of 4g but my phone continues to switch between 3g and 4g. There must be a way to "lock" 4g or toggle 3g off. This was super easy to do on my Thunderbolt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
Install an AOSP rom. They almost all have a 4g toggle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
But do they also have a 2g/3g toggle? I need to be able to leave 4g on while not allowing it to switch to 3g. I guess I could try this but I really love beans rom and have actually been very satisfied with touchwiz in general with the note 2. But I guess I try that as a last resort. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
Bump still looking for solutions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I'm pretty sure there isn't an option for this that actually works. If our phone doesn't have 4g I think it just goes to 3g and there is no option to toggle it to 2g/3g. There was a thread that suggests switching it to 2g to save battery life, but all of the apps that are used to accomplish this don't have that option. I think it might've been something just in the international ROMS but i'm not sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bladerealm124:
That's upsetting to hear, it used to be so easy on my thunderbolt. The problem is when I have a decent 4g connection(by decent I mean 1-2 bars, not great) my phone seems to still prefer 3g which I typically have 3+ bars of. The problem is that 1-2 bars of 4g is substantially faster than 3+ bars of 3g. I can usually flip airplane mode on and off and lock a 4g signal for a minute or two but then it seems to jump right back to 3g. Incredibly frustrating, especially since there is one location where I spend a lot of time that this is an issue.

If anyone else has any info please let me know. Another user posted his custom application for me that was similar to the LTE on/off app(which force closes running beans 21) but his custom app force closes as well even though he stated it worked for him
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I have the same issue where I live. My concern wasn't the fact the speed, though. My battery drops a lot when i'm at certain places at work because it is constantly searching, dropping, and using 3g/4g.

I looked for this awhile back, but I'm pretty sure this was a function only available on the international variants in their ROMS. That is why when you look at certain guides to improve battery life, it says to make it exactly like you are speaking of.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mguinta25:
My buddy just got the s4 and the eye scroll on web pages is sick. Just wondering if any devs think its possible to get that on the note 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
No probably not. Buy a gs4 if you want that sir. That's hardware I think buddy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshm.1219:
Hmm maybe, but I don't know what hardware it would use that we don't already have. It's just the front facing camera and gyroscope/accelerometer I believe. It sees you're looking at the screen then you tilt for it to scroll. So maybe it could be possible, but assuming the actual code for that was created by Samsung, it's probably close-sourced.

In that case, OP, don't you think something like this would've already existed before the GS4 if it could've been done? It's not really a revolutionary idea, but the coding itself may be pretty complicated. My guess is that if programming U.I. behavior based on the coordination of multiple sensors was within the capabilities of developers before Samsung threw money at it, then it would've been an app on the play store already.

Of course, I have no idea if that's the case regarding our XDA developers or Samsung's, I'm just guessing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
Its not the gyro it's a second Gen digitizer thst has some hardware build in can't recall the name momentarily but there is a Swype app that you can wave your hand up and down and it will scroll that uses the gyro

Its the only way I put ROMs on my phone, if its not working then there's a reason. I don't use windows so MTP is out, always adb push, always works.

Update your PC adb binaries and see if it works better.

Hi there everyone

I upgraded my i-Mate PDA2k to an XDAIIs Firmware the O2 Asia one,

Lucky thing is, that it had an Optus profile, so I can now use GPRS (i never bothered to configure it for the PDA2K) as was a WWE version

One thing im confused about, is that it says on O2 Connect, that there is a new ROM Upgrade. I have the O2 Asia 1.40 Rom, so is there any new one out. Since I have a PDA2K Device, I can't register for O2,

Please let me know, thanx

Nope. If you're on a 4.2/4.3 ROM its in /0, sense vs aosp has nothing to do with it. 4.1 and older will be data/media as before.

Can anyone confirm a working hotspot app for the Verizon HTC One that allows free hotspot using phone data? For the rooted folks, can anyone confirm if loading a ROM allows for free native hotspot? I'm considering to upgrade to the HTC One from a Galaxy Nexus but I want to make sure I'm covered for hotspot because it's an important feature for me.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mzrdisi:
I'm gonna point out I had an issue with FoxFi today. I had to uninstall and reboot and reinstall. Seems that VPN connection it uses seems to inadvertantly stop working. I'm assuming that's what it uses to trick the mobile hotspot to turn on.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Jonno212:
adarti Lehigh

Thanks guys. Looks like FoxFi will work for my needs. :good:

What I meant by native hotspot is enabling the feature within Android settings, no app needed. Normally I think the carrier can detect and charge using this method on the stock ROM. However I remember people telling me that they can use it undetected after installing a custom ROM.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrick:
Seems I've made a bit of a booboo somewhere. I was recreating the ext3 partition on my sd card. I deleted the existing ext4 partition and resized the fat32 partition to take up the slack left behind. When I checked the partitions afterwards, everything was fine and all my files were present and correct in my fat32 partition. I booted into recovery, formatted all partitions except my fat32 and went to install my rom again. Except I forgot to put it on the sd card. So I copied it back on to my sd card, stuck the card back in the phone, booted into recovery and promptly got a message that pb99diag.zip is missing. I've checked the entire fat32 partition and there's no sign of it. I tried renaming "OTA_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5-2.29.405.2_releasedauhl6jhok5cmdm6.zip" to "pb99diag.zip" but it doesn't seem to like it.

How can I get back into recovery without the pb99diag.zip?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
found a similar thread: http://www.modaco.com/topic/348778-hboot-looking-for-pb99diagzip-why/

It's because you resized it, I believe it might eventually stop searching for the file and go into recovery, but it's not ideal.

I'd try backing up sd again, and completely reformatting and partitioning again, but using up to date gparted instead.

- Also, why did you need to change from ext4 to ext3? ext4 is marginally faster, most ROMs support ext4.

- And are you trying to install an RUU? In which case you don't need an ext partition at all?

Sorry just trying to understand your overall aim...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrick:
I had 2 2gb ext partitions, ext3, ext4. I didn't need 2 so deleted 1 and just created a single ext3 partition. I wanted to go back to my PA jb 4.2.2 which was working fine until I used link2sd to free up some more system space but because its sh1t it just completely ballsed up my entire install. I installed an RU and this left me rooted with s-off and it was plain sailing from there to reinstall recovery and flash my custom rom again. I'm using a different sd card now (for testing purposes) but I'm still getting the pb99 errors. As you say, it will eventually allow me into recovery and I can continue what I'm doing but it takes ages and I've never had this issue before.

I'm using MiniTool Partition Wizard Professional to create my partitions.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
There's your main problem, do not use MiniTool Partition Wizard. More often than not it creates improperly aligned partitions. Link2SD won't have helped either, it's a messy method and you don't need it with 4.2.2 ROMs, follow the instructions to activate A2SD via terminal commands.

I would backup the FAT32 partition of your sd card, and reformat and repartition the whole thing using gparted. Use this video guide to help

Basically you want to remove all partitions and create one FAT32 partition, and max 2GB ext4 partition. You might as well keep it ext4 over ext3, it should be marginally faster.

Then full wipe and reflash ROM, don't use link2SD.

You should also look to s-off, search for guides, much more powerful, and useful if things go wrong.
