[General Questions and Answers] WorldOak:
My question is partially for site moderators (this kind of thing isn't breaking any rules is it?), but anyone with feedback for me would be much appreciated.

I'm currently taking a college statistics course and have a requirement to conduct a survey as a class project (lame, I know). My question (basically the TL;DR of this post) is whether it would be appropriate to post a link to a Google Docs form or something similar for the purposes of asking some basic questions about the users of this site, with all answers being anonymous and the intention of posting the results for anyone who wants to see?

I realize that the forum already offers the option to post a poll, however it seems that you can only ask one question at a time, and I'm more interested in making a small, quick survey of say, 10-15 questions. That being said, if it would be better for me to simply make several polling posts in their respective categories, please let me know.

A few of the questions I would ask are age (broken down into several broad categories, no specifics), gender and region (North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania/Australia, etc.) in order to establish basic demographic stuff, and then questions about modding/developing habits. Some samples might be:

'What is your interest in XDA-Developers? Development, community, education, or resources for tweaking your devices'

'What kind of modifications do you usually make to your devices? Rooting, custom ROM, custom kernel, custom recovery, or more app-based customization'

'If you are a developer (and another question for end users), how long have you been involved in creating software? Days, weeks, 2-6 months, 7-12 months, 1-3 years, or even longer'

In addition to multiple-choice questions, I would ask a few more open-ended questions such as 'What brought you into the smart-device development space?'

Being only a student project, my aim is not to be too caught up in obtaining a representative sample (I realize the people willing to take such an informal survey may be very few), or attempting to make broad statements about XDA users, but merely as more of a curiosity. In addition, I will post a small analysis of the responses under the same thread, for anyone interested, but I will not submit or publish this info to any other public entity, nor will I ask for people's identifying information such as name, email, or anything else beyond basic demographics. If I receive ten responses, that's fine, if I receive a hundred, awesome.

In essence, would a post of this type be acceptable somewhere on the forums, and if so, is there a best sub-forum under which to post it? Does anyone have any feedback or criticism about this project? Thanks for any responses, and while I haven't yet been active on the forums (I believe this is my first post), I have been reading, learning, and absorbing the information on this site for some time, and have found the expertise of this user base in my own journeys in modifying my devices invaluable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Valsorim:
MMS over WIFI

I've been messing w this for last couple days as i had time, decompiling, comparing Message.apk from this post w the one in Viper4.0(same as in CHUBBZ/Sin's 5.5 port) :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47471325&highlight=mms+over+wifi#post47471325

I couldn't find the correct diffs to make it work myself. I did use root explorer to replace this app into my current rom, and i turned off data. I have tested and have been able to use this ported MMS.apk to send and receive MMS from my daughters and wife's phone.

I know that dev's say not use apk's not for the phone/rom specifically, so if someone has time to take a look at this to get MMS over Wifi working for our device, that would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi! I've a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and everytime I boot up my device it automatically reboots after about 10 seconds (It first happend in the morning after I silenced my alarm).

Thats good, first install a custome recovery, do a nandroid backup,,,

additionally backup your efs partition, there are many tools, you could do it in some recoveries aswell...

then flash the your original Stock ROM.

there is another posibility, you damaging one of the IC, responsible for bandwitdh/ network - this means you should replace it. You havent still explained how you lost netwrok in the first place.

[LG G Flex] m0h1kan:
Really weird story.. This all started Sunday morning when I left for work.. I noticed that I was only pulling 3g, shrugged it off and went on about my day. It stayed solely on 3G all day Sunday, and hasn't connected to LTE once, with the one exception being while I was in a Sprint store, trying to resolve the issue, but of course they have their own repeaters.. As soon as I had left the store, I dropped back down to 3G. While I was in the store, they mentioned that they had updated the tower nearest my house to 800 mhz, which is supposed to be better for building penetration, on Thursday of last week.. The manager tried telling me that the tower will suffer weaker signal until other area towers are upgraded.. Has anyone else heard of this? I have tried updating PRL, profile, using the ## command, and nothing will give me 4G, and it's really damn frustrating! :mad:
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
sounds like another Sprint excuse; I couldnt take them anymore and dumped them for T-Mo, which works great in Chicago land..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] climo:
I'm looking to purchase one of these devices but not sure which one. I belong to Cingular but I like the look of the T-mobile MDA. Is there anything majorly different from a hardware/software point between these two?

If I get the t-mobile mda will I have any issues using it with Cingular? I know I need to sim unlock it first. My main use of this phone is for calls and text messgs. I rarely use the internet but may do so more later on. Just want to make sure the T-mobile softeware will not interfere with cingular settings. Can someone enlighten me? How about flashing it to a non branded rom? Or a cingular rom if thats possible. lol

Great forum my da way!!! :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jdub71:
i bought a tmobile mda for use on cingular because of the keyboard design and general asthetics od the thing. i did unlock it then flashed it to the 217.7.2wwe cingular rom found on this sites ftp section. it works great with text, internet, has great rf reception. only thing i havent tried with it is mms.

rest easy; it works. if you have more questions there are people here much more experienced than i.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kanate:
hardwares deep inside, they are the same machine. Once you have it (either 8125 or MDA) you can do SIM & CID unlock and put in any ROM for wizard you'd like; if you get MDA you can put 8125 rom on it and has all the cingular settings (which you can set it up manually also with other ROMs)

The main concern is the warranty. You are with Cingular and if you get 8125, whenever you have problem with it within 1 year of purchase, you can get warranty exchange (cingular will send you a new one, and you send the bad one back to them after you recieve the new one, all free)

But if you have MDA, you will have to send it to HTC for repair which might take a long time to come back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] climo:
Great! just what I was looking for. I did not know you could install a cingular rom over another brand. soo cool. Did you use the lokiwiz program (which version??) to unlock both the sim and cid? Or another program? Same here I like the rounded corners and two tone keyboard. I wish t-mobile online would sell w/o contract since its a decent price. At the store its almost 100 more.

New to PPC coming from the Motorola camp.... :D

Know to search for a MDA....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rambo6:
Be Careful

Be careful, some of the newer Wizards (MDAs & 8125s) have a newer chip inside referred to as the G4 chip. It is my understanding that lokiwiz will SIM unlock the device which will allow you to use your Cingular SIM card. However, lokiwiz won't CID unlock the MDA with the new chip. So you won't be able to use all the new custom ROMs on ths site.

It is pretty easy to manually configure the setting so the MDA will work fully on Cingular. I have the 8125 and am using T-mobile. The internet, text messanging, and MMS work great.

Check out the threads on the Wizard Upgrading forum for more info. on how to tell which chip your phone has.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] climo:
Thanks for the tip. I've read some threads about the dreaded G4 chip. Hopefully someone will crack it soon. There is a website that can unlock the G4 chip both sim and cid but it costs like 40 bucks. Worst case I can send it to them.

jdub71: How is the ear piece sound level on the MDA when on a call? how do you rate it? loud, med. or could be louder despite on full volume.

rambo6: Same question. How is you're ear piece volume level on the 8125?

PC mag suggested that the MDA had a lower ear piece volume than the 8125. I wanted to hear from actual users. Louder the better for me. Is there a reg. hack to make the ear piece volume louder? Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] guinnessfanatic:
I'm running an MDA on Cingular with no problems. Got it a week ago with every intention of flashing to 8125 cingular, but it seems to have figured out most Cingular settings automatically.No problems.... yet.

I don't see how one Wizard could be louder than another.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KINetics:
Couple of other quality control concerns with the MDA versus the 8125, I've heard that the MDA is more prone to having the paint come off the keys and that they are also more prone to having the stylus come loose after prolonged usage.

Don't have a MDA, only a 8125, but that's what I have gathered from reading the forums.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KINetics:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] saa001:
How do you go about finding out what ROM version you have and also how do you tell if you have successfully unlocked your MDA?

Also how do you tell if you have the "G4" chip?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tweker:
Good question. I want a custom rom too.

8125ppc (and htc just updated)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rambo6:
You can go to the thread below to learn how to tell which chip is in your Wizard.

Also, I have great sound through the 8125's earpiece. Sometimes I have to turn it down.

My suggestion is buy whichever phone you want. The MDA has keys that are a little closer together. I'd suggest you look at both in person. You can buy either in the US through letstalk.com without a contract but the phone will be set up for either Cingular or T-mobile and you'll need to unlock it to use another carrier.

If you can hold off a few months, the TyTN or some UMTS form thereof should be offered in the U.S.

T-mobile is great but it will be at least a year before they get a 3G network going. Cingular is the only carrier in the U.S. with a 3G UMTS network in major cities. It's significantly faster than Edge but not as fast as Verizon's evdo.

I hope that HTC offers some phone to work on both the US and European UMTS/HSDPA networks soon. Some form of TyTN or the Trion would do it.

Once you start surfing the web and texting with a Wizard, you'll get addicted and want more speed. Verizion's evdo is so damn fast. I miss verizon's speed but love my Wizard and hope to have the newest HTC phone soon

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] climo:
After read many many threads on these it does seem like the 8125 has a better build quality than the MDA. Sound quality may also be superior since alot of MDA owners are complaing about sound issues. I was going to get the MDA but now I'm leaning on the 8125. Main reason is availability. Its easier for me to get the 8125 since I'm on cingular. I'm just worried about the sound volume being too low. I've read about the slider not working and such.....many requests to boost the sound but no real answer.

Hmm. New phone called the TyTN? Made also by HTC? May look into that also. :o
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZzFDKzZ:
My friend has a T-Mobile MDA and I have the Cingular 8125. He has the original rom that came with the phone and I have the latest one 2.25. We were at my friends basement he had 3-4 bars of connection while I had non or 1 bar. He always has better connection then me.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hdbueller:
Okay,let's see here.....

1) Are you both using the same carriers ?

If yes to above, it is a Rom issue.

If no to above, then it is pretty obvious as to the reason for the different signal levels!

I have a Qtek 9100 Wizard with the summiter custom Cingular 2.24 rom and can tell you for a fact that different roms DO act differently.Even roms from the same carriers, I might add! LOL

Later........
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZzFDKzZ:
Yeah like I said he has T-Mobile and I have Cingular. He has the original rom and I have that new one http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=54726 Even with summiter 2.24 rom that I had last month he still had way better connection in my friends basement.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kanate:
That's just to compare Cingular v.s. Tmobile signal, NOT 8125 v.s. MDA.

If your 8125 is SIM unlocked, try put in your friend's SIM card and see how is the signal on your phone; should be much better than your SIM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hdbueller:
.....Like I said, different carriers= different towers =different signal strength. As was said above, if sim unlocked, swap sims and see what happens.

Later.......
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZzFDKzZ:
I never tought about that, I'll try the sim change next time.
