[EVO 4G General] eck0728:
Personally I'd rather stay with Wimax because Sprint will be the only major carrier..why? 1. Personally i hate verizon and At&T, t-mobile i like but i don't like GSM personally i feel CDMA has a much better call quality even with 1 bar were as GSM you need atleast 3 for it to be a half decent convo. 2. Trying to jam pack everyone that uses LTE on to the 700mhz spectrum is going to cause overload especially with the amount of users ATT and Verizon have in crowded areas... can we say at&t 3g problem all over again? Also Sprint's network will be less crowded than both ATT and Verizon due to the sheer number difference. Lastly i've had no problems with wimax, i get 6- 11 mbps downstream all the time. I highly doubt verizon is going to be able to hold the 5 - 12 mbps it promises after seeing the 3g speeds in my area, with sprint i get 900+ kbps(3g full bars) 100m/s ping (i get incredible ping on 3g around here oddly) and my cousin who has the Droid incredible and my aunt with the droid x getting like 800ms ping and 400 kbps down with full bars mind you... also i was on PRI 1.34 at the time
[EVO 4G General] THEGAMEPLAY94:
Even if sprint switched to lte they will still be on the 2500 mhz spectrum which sucks.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Sure, they'll be on the 2.5Ghz spectrum still, but Europe is 2.6Ghz.

As far as I can remember the US is one of very few (if not the only) regions using 700mhz for LTE. Europe is 2.6Ghz. Australia is 2.6Ghz. I believe most of Asia is as well.

Overseas LTE looses its main advantage that it has here of lower frequency.
[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
This is a discussion I wish I saw more often. There are strengths and weaknesses to both and depending on how it is implemented, it doesn't have to be an either/or thing.

As I understand it, Wimax is more of an evolution of WiFi with a network of cheap nodes blanketing a city in a big hotspot. It's a way to extend Wifi-like signals outside of the home and the workplace. It's not the same as LTE which is more of an evolution of cellular.

I would imagine that cellular LTE networks would be a great way to connect cities and towns along the road while cheap Wimax nodes would make it easy to blanket cities and towns with access. I guess the main thing will be how the companies investing in these networks handle the marketing, pricing, and integration.

Personally, I have had Wimax in my city since the end of 2008 and I don't use it that often because most of the time I need it, I have Wifi already. Still, when I am on the road or out of the house it makes downloading large files or streaming video much faster. I even used my Evo to provide my laptop with a fast wireless connection in order to remotely log into a home computer to fix something for my girlfriend while I was out on the road. It really is like having Wifi outside the home. Ultimately it's just going to end up like any other wireless service. I will make my buying decisions based on what services cover my usage areas and how much it costs.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Ill be real... even though Tmobiles service sucks here in Atl their HSPA+ takes a dump all over wimax speeds. I bought into the 4g hype when I got the evo and quickly realized how overhyped it is.
[EVO 4G General] neodorian:
What good are speeds without coverage? If anything it is the fault of Sprint and how they marketed/positioned Wimax as "4g". This leads people to think it's like the 3g everyone was advertising a few years ago only faster. In reality it's like having wifi outside. I use Wimax for my home internet and I use it on my phone. I usually get a modest 5-6mbps down and 1mpbs up. For the cost it's pretty good. Super-mega-Fios-in-your-pocket it ain't.
[EVO 4G General] Geniusdog254:
Well said. I get 7-8mbps average in STL. On a slow day or a bad server I get 5mbps. Peak I've hit 11mpbs before. It is faster than HSPA+, at least here i STL.
[EVO 4G General] dallashigh:
For now. HSPA+ isn't getting much better any time soon. They may have a slight advantage in some markets for the next year or two. Then they'll be stuck with a **** network for the next decade because they decided to stick with out-dated tech. If they're even still in business ten years from now.

could some one hurry up and make a pink theme for the sgs .

my wife is giving me grief over this ,tried explaining that its a new phone and people are doing more important things than make themes .

willing to pay for the theme ,just for the peace

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] The.Opethian:
I bet she told you that you should have bought an iPhone instead. XD

Anyhow, I think using a different launcher may open up some more customisations for you (ADB Launcher was it?) in terms of skins. Making a "Hello Kitty" one shouldn't be too difficult.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jona29:
i use adw launcher on my phone think its alot better than stock .

even if the notification bar and the dock was pink ,that would be enough if she runs adw launcher ,as the background colours etc can be changed

Has anyone looked in to this to see if it is something that we could possibly port over/modify to work on our phones and benefit from?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=749495

I did a search and didn't see any topics started on this so I figured it was worth asking.

It increased the quadrant scores tremendously for the Galaxy S.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrynalyne:
Non applicable.

Galaxy class phones have serious lag problems due to installation of apps on slow sd.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muerte_X:
If someone wants to compile a new kernel with the "fix" implemented, sure. You would need a class 6 sdcard to see any benefit from it though. The EVO guys are doing it and seeing numbers over 2000. There's no reason it wouldn't work. Though, you probably wouldnt notice any practical difference in the phone in regular use. I'm assuming the quadrant increase is due to the read write speeds being much higher using a card that fast, thus increasing the I/O score on quadrant.

What people don't seem to realize is that quadrant score is an average of the different tests, and not just a blanket score to use for comparisons...on the galaxy s it does fix the lag problem they have. Watch one do a quadrant test. The I/O test takes over a minute. A nice aide effect of the fix is that it inflates quadrant scores. The incredible is far from laggy, so you'd basically be doing it just to see a higher quadrant score.

You'd also have to figure out a way to use the Amon-RA recovery instead of clockwork, as only it can partition the sdcard in the correct way to implement this...

I'd actually love to see people try more things with the kernels, the ones we have are nice, but pretty basic. The EVO guys also have one that actively adjusts the cpu voltage based on speed and temperature, it's supposed to really increase the battery life. I guess that's probably due to the EVO not having the same supply shortages, and the fact they gave out a ton of them free to developers at the google conference, lol.

I run my Tilt2 in plain-vanilla WM 6.5 mode, without touch-flo.

When I'm in the Today Screen, with my keyboard out, pressing (almost) any key starts a search through the contacts in my address book.

Does anyone know a registry tweak to disable this feature?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JG-1:
Set the phone so 4G will automatically turn on when the phone detects there is a 4G signal? And automatically turn off when there isn't a 4G signal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
I'm not sure, but I think that 4g has to already be on to detect a signal. If I'm wrong, I bet its something you could probably set up through tasker (paid app in market).

Sent from my blah blah blah blah
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crotchety:
Nope, you're right. EVDO does not detect a Wimax signal. The only way to know there is a 4G signal at your location is to.....you guessed it....turn on 4G. Now once you have a list of locations that you know are blessed with 4G coverage then you can always use one of those automation apps (not sure which app does it best) to automatically turn on your 4g when you enter any of those areas (based on gps location) and turn it off when you leave.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
So today I used Google Maps to search for a location. I did not appreciate the ads at the bottom of the search results.

Is there a way to disable the ads? Shall I just reinstall Sprint Navigation(telenav is good) and use that instead?

Thank you thank you

edit: should have noted that i do use the turn by turn nav. so an online, gps enabled option is what id like. ill check out the option you noted, t12icky0
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t12icky0:
i had the same issue..i just didnt like Google maps. went through many different programs but eventaully ended up getting an APP called " IGO"...its an offline as well as online map directions service. you would just need to download the maps for you state(or any state).

ITS GREAT because you dont need an internet connection as it can run the maps and such offline unless you wanna use GPS(or anything else).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJB628:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saketh321:
Well let's say that is our main priority but web OS gets updates every couple of months and is more intuitive and a little more fun with the card view.

BTW I am not trying to make this a contest between web OS and android, I know both have weaknesses and strengths.

Impossible. WebOS is closed source.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Reb0rn:
I frankly dont understand why these threads even get started, considering the bootloader still is locked u cant flash any other **** on it then the original SonyEricsson Signed ROMS wich for now (And the future) ALWAYS will be Android...

So unless the bootloader gets cracked...

BUT when that happens im sure u can even put in Windows XP / Ubuntu or something other usless...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saketh321:
Are you a little daft or what? It's a hypothetical question... as in, is it possible? If you read the forums ofcourse you are bound to know that the boot loader isn't cracked yet.

So if you seriously think "why threads like these get opened", stop clicking on them and even worse replying to them. So apparently you have way too much time on your hands, to reply to things you don't even like. If not stop being a troll and let's move on.

debian can be installed on the x10, I wouldn't be surprised if webOS could be, hypothetically of course :)

This is simple cross compile of INADYN 1.96.2 for Android.

"INADYN is a free DynDNS client. It gives the possibility to have your own fixed hostname registered on the internet, although your IP might be changing. It checks periodically whether the IP address stored by the DNS server is the real current IP address of the machine that is running INADYN."

http://www.inatech.eu/inadyn/

To install:

1) extract inadyn.zip to your sdcard

2) copy inadyn to /system/bin

You have two ways to run it:

1) from the shell, run: inadyn --username <DynDNS username> --password <DynDNS password> --alias <DynDNS alias>

e.g. inadyn -u test -t test -a test.thruhere.net

2) create inadyn.conf in /etc with the following contents: "--username <DynDNS username> --password <DynDNS password> --alias <DynDNS alias>" then run inadyn

You may want to use the following commands

--iterations 1 (this will cause inadyn to update the ip and exit)

--background (inadyn will run in the background)

--update_period 6000 (how often the IP is checked. The period is in [ms]. Default is about 1 min. Max is 10 days)

With USB debugging enabled and adb compatible drivers loaded, you should then be able to use the sideloader app. I've had issues doing this with the Dell PC Suite drivers, but using the drivers bundled with the PDANet Windows client does the trick. (You can download it for free.)

with the release of the source code for the bravo kernel this has become redundant

to be able to directly access my stuff on samba shares i made a _patch_ for the cifs code in 2.6.32.15 and built cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko with arm-eabi-4.4.0

i thought i'd share them here in case it was of use to anyone else

this is how i installed them:

(boot into recovery mode)
$ adb shell mount /system
$ adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules
$ adb push nls_utf8.ko /system/lib/modules
$ adb shell chmod 644 /system/lib/modules/*.ko
$ adb shell "cd /system/lib/modules; ln -s . 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527"
$ adb shell umount /system
(reboot)

this is how i tested them:

sh-3.2$ su
sh-3.2# modprobe nls_utf8
sh-3.2# modprobe cifs
sh-3.2# busybox mount -t cifs -o user=<username>,password=<password>,uid=1000,gid=1015,file_mode=0775,dir_mode=0775,iocharset=utf8,nodfs //10.0.1.2/public2 /sdcard/smb/public2

(1015 is the gid of 'sdcard_rw')

afaik the current nextsense comes with Myshkinbob's cifs module (although not with the latest one) - it's module version id was simply patched to suppress the version mismatch error message you got

here is mine if still interested:

Greetings,

I tried using your patch on the source for the supersonic (evo) and it went in and compiled perfectly, i was able to do an insmod and loaded the driver fine, but when i go to do a mount the phone crashes.

any ideas?

(i have tried both the arm-eabi-4.4.0 and the arm-2010q1 toolchains)

Thanks!!
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
the patch does not cleanly apply to supersonic-2.6.32.15-g746f4f0, as it is for vanilla 2.6.32.15

please overwrite fs/cifs with the vanilla sources before you apply it

just tried and was able to build the very same .ko published in the first post (except for the buildstamp of course):

pulled the supersonic kernel source from developer.htc.com

overwrote fs/cifs/* with vanilla

pulled & applied the patch from pastebin

pulled .config from my phone

in menuconfig

set the localversion (general setup)

selected cifs + nls_utf8 to be built as module

did _not_ touch the debug options already set

did 'make modules'

stripped the modules with arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug

insmod worked, mount worked, browsing the share worked

if you get crashes, check /proc/last_kmsg after reboot
[Desire Android Development] adambot:
What is considered "vanilla sources"?

I used git and pulled the whole android repo but am not finding the vanilla sources there...

do you mean the vanilla linux sources??

[edit]

i tried the cifs files from the vanilla linux source (same version) but the phone still crashes (even after the debug strip)

Should i try to use a different config (rather than the one from the supersonic templates?)

Do you have an evo that you tested this on?

Thanks again!!!

[/edit]
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
sorry if i wasn't clear enough. linux-2.6.32.15.tar.bz2 (kernel.org)

i pulled the config from the device ($adb shell zcat /proc/config.gz > .config)

i do not own an evo, the only reason for me to use evo/incredible sources is that htc haven't released bravo-froyo kernel sources yet
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
adambot, please let me know if this works for you

--

cifs_supersonic_2.6.32.15-g746f4f0.zip
[Desire Android Development] adambot:
WOW!!! That worked PERFECTLY!!!!!

Thanks SO MUCH!!!

(now i just have to figure out why mine wasn't working... I'll try again with your steps and compare the good one to mine with diff)

if you don't mind just to recap:

get linux vanilla kernel source

get supersonic kernel source

replace supersonic fs/cifs with vanilla

edit Makefile with extra EXTRAVERSION info

get .config from running device

make CROSS_COMPILE=CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- oldconfig (accept defaults)

edit .config and make cifs and nls_utf8 modules

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- modules

arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-strip fs/cifs/cifs.ko and fs/nls/nls_utf8.ko
[Desire Android Development] snq-:
no problem, glad it worked out :)

- i don't see the step where you applied the patch

- i didn't edit the makefile per hand

- i didn't edit .config per hand

- as i don't own an evo, instead of pulling the config from the device i did a 'make supersonic_defconfig' before 'make menuconfig'
[Desire Android Development] adambot:
I got it to work FINALLY!!! I will be posting the step by step (copy/paste) directions in the evo section. Do you mind if i post the patch here as an attachment? also -- how do you want credit -- do snq- or do a different name?

thanks again!!
