Lower case b does refer to bits, and upper case B to bytes but the value is contextual.

Memory capacity and system disk capacities are 2^10 bytes per K and on up the line. Network speeds and marketing disk capacities are calculated on base 10 values 1,000 K to the Meg etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] terryazthompson:
No

15552000 bps / 1000 / 1000 = 15.552 mbps

15552000 bps / 1024 / 1024 = ~14.83 Mibps

Megabit is a million bits.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Justin.G11:
Marketing won the day we gave into their re-inventing of values so they can claim they hit performance levels they haven't by arbitrarily dividing by 1000 instead of the accepted 1024.

It never started that way ... it just started getting advertised that way and eventually our minds adopted and we eventually accepted it. Annoying if you ask me.

[EVO 4G Android Development] John Kotches:
Clearly the IEEE isn't self respecting. All of the ethernet specs use 10^3, 10^6, 10^9 for K, M and G respectively.

They should be as follows:

10 Mbit / second (should be 9.53 Mbit)

100 Mbit / second @ 100,000,000 (should be 95.36 Mbit)

1000 Mbit / second @ 1,000,000 (should be 953.67 Mbit or .93 Gbit )

I don't like the dual standards either but they are real.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dj_L:
Haven't looked...when I was researching a problem for one of my customers, one of the google devs mentioned it...this is the same leak that let us know to expect 2.3 instead of 3.0 IIRC.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gx1400:
I stand corrected. A little research shows IEEE uses SI prefixes and not IEC ones. Weird.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
I need to clean up the interface a bit. It's very dev-centric right now. Turning off wimax doesn't work yet, etc.

Also still cleaning up some issues with DHCP requests and routing and such. Making sure dual mode works.

Dual mode is where you can use 3G and Wimax at the same time (so you can tether and be talking on the phone at the same time :))
[EVO 4G Android Development] criley98:
Agreed!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Justin.G11:
HTC hasn't been able to turn off WIMAX yet either ;)

You (and Toast and the rest of the CM team) are awesome. I sent you a donation and will do the same for Toast and CM. I suppose I could wait for the pool thing, but why wait. Congrats on a job well done and thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] vboyz103:
so to where/who do we donate to based on our pledges prior.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwd3885:
can't you talk and surf at the same time on 4G anyway? Or is there a difference when you are tethering?
[EVO 4G Android Development] IMiLL102911:
That's going to be sweet!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
awesome! Thanks for the reply. I had a couple of questions about the wimax implementation. It seems that it causes problems on certain apps that require a 3g or WiFi specific connection. Is there a central place in the OS where the connection type is reported? How do those apps tell? I am specifically talking about the Verizon NFL app that requires 3g or the voyage app that used to require 3g or the Skype app that requires WiFi to call. Can the wimax connection be made to "look" like 3g or WiFi?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TURDxSANDWICH:
Whenever you are using voice and data simultaneously from sprint, voice uses the 3G radio while the data uses the wimax radio. You actually can't do both using only one radio. This is only for CMDA service providers (sprint and verizon). GSM networks (att and t mobile) don't have this issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dwd3885:
oh so THAT'S how they do it..Tell me why I went with Sprint over ATT/T-Mob again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydoanpham:
because sprint is better.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TURDxSANDWICH:
great pricing and an awesome phone?

[EVO 4G Android Development] terryazthompson:
Sorry its not the place I know, but I am a self respecting computer scientist.

I like Mi/Ki etc. because it is unambiguous. Mega and kilo etc. were misapplied by us originally and marketing took advantage. I also try to spell out bits and bytes cause too many people do not understand diff between b and B. To me its about being understood.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kenjari:

Eh, people are just being sarcastic. The last couple of pages have been people talking about how it's working now. Yes wimax will be in CM soon. How soon, I don't know exactly, and I've always said don't quote me on that :).

Well, I want some backports from gingerbread in the stable ROM, but I think I can go and get those myself. Course, by the time *I* get the EAS fixes plucked out of it, there will likely already be a working gingerbread branch with WiMax in CM so I can just start all over again. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowboyboats:
maybe you should ask the sense users. I would assume they will act the same way. With 4g just getting done and gingerbread bring released I don't many developers are answering questions so specific

Swyped from my Cyanogen Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
I am a sense user, I have been wanting to get back on cyanogenmod ever since I sold my g1, but 4g was too important to me. Currently (on sense find anyway) you get "no connection" errors on some apps because they are specifically looking for a 3g or WiFi connection and wimax is left out. I am not sure if toast or shinzul are aware. If they are currently working on the system "seeing" the connection (which, yeah I an a noob idiot, so I really have no idea) they could possibly have option as to how the connection is "shown" ???
[EVO 4G Android Development] sd2649:
That is a very juvenile and unneeded response. I am trying to contribute in a very small and maybe even annoying fashion. At least I am not asking for etas, but rather discussing what I feel is a potential issue directly related to the topic.

[EVO 4G Android Development] sarahlegs:
I suppose I singled him out a bit, but yes - shiftie read my mind here. Shinzul and Toast had better be asleep and taking a well-deserved break, not handling unsolicited feature requests for 4G implementation in a friggin' thread designed to collect donations.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nicholaaaas:
i'll put +10g's on that
[EVO 4G Android Development] nicholaaaas:
first off... what they are doing deserves money... i have already personally donated for his work in general.

secondly... what i been seeing is only one person has been working on the 4g's

thirdly... Cyanogen makes a nightly rom that is good enough to use as your primary rom. it seems to me most of us who use EVER nightly wouldn't mind a shift_ in direction to get 4g a little quicker and are will to pay.

what's wrong with that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] r.mauldin:
Once you get the account setup you should revise your original list of supporters. Because this is not a bounty and it is a pool to show support you should require people to post the amount donated with a transaction ID#.

Add a list with those who have paid with paypal transaction id#'s and those who have not paid. Do that and I will throw in some more money.

chill out. the thread is about helping out the cm team in getting wimax implemented in cm for the evo. i'm not entirely sure where you're getting your hostility from. anyone and everyone who donates isn't at all against team douche or in the very least undermining or complaining about their efforts. we use their rom. we love it. we want to support it. we don't know how to implement the code ourselves, otherwise we'd be actively taking a part in the development of it.

simple.

i agree with p-slim here. hands down.

seriously? why is everyone getting all offended over this??

*sigh*

for everyone who's talking about this "bounty", just chill the hell out. this is not a bounty. if you don't support it, don't post or comment. if you must insist on sharing yoru thoughts, pm me.

also, if a non-cm member gets wimax working, more likely than not, they'll have become part of the cm team by that point. so, in essence, yes it will most likely go towards cm.

chill the eff out. this isn't a jab or complaint against team douche. they are awesome. their work is spectacular. and we want to show extra support to help them out iron out a feature that is understandably difficult. i can't vouch for everyone, but most of the cm6 nightly veterans have already shelled out a lot of bling-bling to cm and have no qualms with giving more, myself included.

alrightey then.

more with the support and less with the hate please.
[EVO 4G Android Development] r.mauldin:
Sorry if my posts came across as hostile. I got upset over what I thought was a personal attack and an insult.

I pm'd P-slim and gave my apology. So that is done. He thought this was a bounty thread. Thanks for the clarification.

Like you I have been on here downloading and trying out most of the nightlys. I even remeber the days when it was just you and HondaCop posting. :D

thanks for the support.
[EVO 4G Android Development] -shift-:
no worries, man. there's a lot of bashing going on, and i didn't mean to pick you out specifically (it's been a long day without mass effect 2 :(). i remember the early days too ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmylanman:
Yeah I am not so sure how people can get hostile about such a thing. People offering up some compensation for the CM6 team getting WiMAX working is in no way a bad thing... as soon as I see the PayPal information I'm donating my $10. I love the ROM so I'll support it anyway, but I have been having a hard summer financially so I haven't yet.

Anyway, lack of WiMAX is the only real con I can think of so if that's fixed the EVO will really be a beast (even more than it already is).

Aren't the newer builds being constructed from the BASE? In other words, aren't people constructing their builds off of the 2.2 release made FOR EVO? If so, those drivers would be in there... would they not? Or is this 6.0 thingy a PORT from another phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] r.mauldin:
If I donate and post a copy of the paypal transaction on my front door for all to see will you skip my house?

What is up with the 2min and 47sec in the micro? That part was just wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmodelli:
This is a good question... Is there anything special that is causing the delay? Maybe we could contribute on that end, with time, as help them (or him) to get the problem solved faster.

I would love to have 4G on CM6, and be done with all other roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmodelli:
That's because they can't get it done themselves!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
Perhaps I can clarify a main point. As I understand it, the CM6 ROMs are not being created from the HTC modified 2.2 code for the Evo, but from the base 2.2 Android code...the open-source code that is also supplied to HTC so that they can then create their 2.2 ROM for the Evo.

By creating from the base, open-source code, the CM team has complete freedom to experiment, look into new directions, and move in still other directions with their development, unhindered by the development/changes/limitations added by other entities such as HTC, Sprint, etc. It also enables then to do all of this without having to be concerned that at any moment, someone may threaten them with a lawsuit for copyright infringement, and things of that nature.

I hope that this sheds some light for those that don't know this already, and if I have misunderstood anything, I would appreciate it if someone with the correct information would please add their clarification.

Thank you for your time.

What's the hold up?? They already proved it worked today, you would think they would husle
[EVO 4G Android Development] dj_L:
If apps are limiting the connection types, IIUC, then the app itself needs to be modified to understand a new connection type. Again, I didn't read it well, but IIUC Google hasn't defined this in the Andriod APIs yet (though they might have in 2.3 with the other vendors coming out with their "4G" networks). Guessing the (6) has a meaning here so maybe they can lump WiMax, LTE, and HSPA+ into one single type without driving developers mad. If not, they'll probably have 20 defined by the time we see a real 4G connection (802.16e).

Edit: I figured I'd better clarify. By "real 4G connection," I mean that it meets the requirements of 802.16e. This has nothing to do with the work that Toastcfh and Shizul are doing. I just knew someone was gonna come back at me with "you ungrateful..." :-)

[EVO 4G Android Development] dj_L:
Already doing initial sync of new branch so that I don't contribute to that overload. :-) Probably should have asked if there is a way to switch branches with repo. Nah, I wanted to keep froyo anyway for a bit. You can switch with git, but I didn't see a way to do so with repo, but I dislike python because I don't look and understand immediately.
