[EVO 4G General] t00dumb:
there is a lot of 4g coverage between costa mesa and westminster (includes fountain valley). The only problem is its very spotty. I'm not sure if they're still tweaking the antennas, as of right now I'm very unhappy since I can sparingly connect to 4g in my bedroom just by laying it down without touching it. :mad:
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I had continuous 4g coverage from harbor and baker till the 55 and about 3 miles from the 5 on the 55 today.
[EVO 4G General] DataDork:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kensikora:
I will preface all of this by saying that I have never attempted rooting a phone, and was a bit overwhelmed by... well, the whole new vocabulary to be learned, mainly.

I have an Incredible and was thinking of rooting it and flashing a custom ROM. I downloaded Unrevoked (the newest from the website), plugged my phone in, and to my surprise, it rooted it without asking me to click anything. I wasn't prepared for this to happen automatically. Suddenly, I'm looking at ClockWorkMod.

(This is where I SHOULD have performed a Nandroid backup. I didn't.)

I then tried to install the OTA Update online in order to update my radio in preparation of loading up SkyRaider. When all was said and done, though, I had 720p video recording option, Amazon MP3 download, and so on, but my Wifi was not working, and my camera only displayed a black screen. I checked and found that I still showed baseband version 1.00.03.04.06. Unless I'm mistaken, that would be the non-updated radio.

I then tried to perform a factory wipe, in hopes that this would wipe the OTA and give me back a functioning camera, but was sadly mistaken. Nothing was erased but my personal data (I was smart enough to back all of that up to my PC, as well as three or four different online backup sources; when it comes to my personal data, redundancy is a good thing).

Learning that my camera was still non-functional, I tried to install the radio upgrade to 2.15. This somehow failed as well.

(This is when I actually performed a Nandroid backup.)

Then, perhaps against all better judgement, I loaded Sky Raider Vanilla 2.2 onto the phone. Needless to say, I still have the 1.00 radio.

Have I, through my impatience and ignorance, done any permanent damage, or is it possible that someone here can talk me through updating my radio properly?

EDIT: Issues resolved. I followed the directions for rooted devices found on this thread the Sky Raider 2.5 thread. I have the updated radio, I'm running Froyo on my Incredible, and the camera works like a charm. Lesson to be learned: read the directions first. Also, backup regularly (that Best Buy app, m:IQ, restored all my contacts, photos, videos, messages, and even call log. And AppBrain, while a bit slow and obnoxious in this usage, reinstalled my apps).

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] drexful:
Hello All.

I recently bought a TP2 CDMA phone which was on US Cellular's network. My infinate wisdom :) told me I could probably program it for my carrier (Cellcom - NSight). I found the unlock code for EPST and added my setting from a previous EPST file from my old HTC Titan. Gave the ESN to Cellcom and the phone works, except I cannot connect via EVDO. It will only connect to 1X when making calls and accessing the data. I tried updating the tower list with *228, however, it calls USCC and says the number cannot be dialed. I'm guessing there is a setting in EPST or the registry which is still looking at USCC. Does anyone have a clue as to how I can get EVDO to work? I can post the EPST if needed. I tried MightyRom, Sprint, and USCC roms and cleared the memory without any luck on the EVDO problem.

Thanks!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pauly_k:
I have recently purchased a Desire from somebody who either has unlocked it or it is already unlocked it seems unbranded.

I have a problem in that their default email is stuck on the phone and I cannot for the life of me remove it after looking through google search the way it is carried out on a hero doesn’t apply here. I cannot get access to the market place!

If I go into menu->accounts and sync->manage account->remove account

It brings up a notification explaining that I must reset the phone to factory defaults? Is this a wise move? Or the only option here?

I am worried that this will leave the phone no longer unlocked. Common sense or past knowledge tells me this won’t be the case but the whole android thing is new to me... ?

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connoisseur:
I am aware that T-mobile uses different 3G bands than does ATT. Most phones when unlocked are left to crawl on edge and cannot get 3G speeds when switched to another carrier. Being as the Captivate and Vibrant are essentially the same phone, would this be an issue. I've been on the G1 since it came out and I really don't like the iphone look of the vibrant. Was planning on getting a Captivate and unlocking, but not if I'll loose 3G.

Can anyone running an unlocked Captivate tell me if they're getting 3g on t-mo??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdxrealtor:
I would say no.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcv14:
I believe it was engadget that said the Captivate can get t mobile 3g speeds but not vice versa.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiein2021:
Nope you can only get 3G on the vibrant unlocked to att not the captivate you can only get EDGE speeds on tmo with the captivate.

So basically:

Vibrant: tmo 3G

Att 3G

Captivate: tmo EDGE

Att 3G

So yes it might be an issue for you lol

Until now we know that wp7 will not have multitasking

how can be a bussiness phone without multitask?

we know all the problems with iOS on iphone

if someone call you when writting mail you loosing your mail.. bla bla

maybe before 2-3 and more years back with lower cpu and ram the multitask had bad things

now with minimum device as HD2 1GHz and more than 512mb ram you can use many apps without any problem... what is your oppinion???

maybe will waitting for android 3 before jump to wp7
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
The minimum ram is 256mb.

1st party apps (ie email) can multitask. I believe even 3rd party apps will remain running during a phone call.

At this point in time, WP7 is not being positioned to target business users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] iamcrazyfire:
if someone call you when writting mail you loosing your mail

This is not true ,wp7 will save your email status in memory when someone call you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Actually any app when closed saves its current state 1st or 3rd party apps. so you will not loose you email.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theomni:
so can you listen to music while writing a text?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
You can listen to zune while doing anything on the phone but you won't be able to listen to something like pandora and write a text.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
1st part apps multitask, so you'll be able to listen to zune and write a text.

What I'm curious about is what they mean by 1st part apps multitask, are there any rules here? Do some 1st party apps tombstone even if you don't want them to?

For Example.

If I:

1) listen to zune

2) open ie

3) open upto 6 tabs

4) open 3rd party app

What will the device do?

Will Zune keep playing, Will IE continue to load the 6 tabs while I'm playing with the 3rd party app Or will IE tombstone itself and/or stop loading the tabs when it loses focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
all 1st party apps will continue to do what they are doing including ie will continue to load the 6 pages however when you go back to ie or zune the 3rd party app will go to sleep / or be closed to its current state
[Windows Phone 7 General] l3v5y:
IE does multitask, most don't do much (though the synchronisation services multitask).
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
Is that 100% confirmed i.e. have you had hands on experience with an actual device. Or is it just what you assume will happen?
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
I have the emu which runs the same os as the test phones...
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
so do I, but I can't really play anything on Zune to really test it. IE does load its tabs with a 3rd party program open in the emulator atm though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
i was speaking of the ie zune is been stated several times and i believe there are videos on youtube that show this...

if you want to get final answer you can post a question here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7series/threads
[Windows Phone 7 General] Carlovn:
This sounds better than I thought! This fuction with the 1st party apps multi-tasking is more than enough for me. It allmost never happens that I use 2 3th party apps (and if I do pausing or freezing that app would be more than enough)

I think true multi-tasking uses more energy than it delivers pleasure for me!

(and really, the multi tasking on the iphone is so crappy! They say it's true but like other things they deliver a illusion and because it has an apple logo on it, everbody excepts it.....)
[Windows Phone 7 General] n8huntsman:
The biggest problem would be using apps like Pandora. I stream that all day at work while I do things like text and email. Maybe Pandora can be integrated into the zune player so that it will not terminate while doing other things. I think we will have to see how the Pandora developers handle it. This is the only app that I can think of where I would need true multi-tasking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
It will not work at launch but resources for this to work in the near future will be available within the first year.. most likly by summer of 2011..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
I'm waking this thread to life again after getting surprised by the latest development kit. Yesterday I uninstalled the old Dev kit and downloaded a fresh one from MS.

Aside from the Panorama and Pivot controls, I noted that my application didn't turn of when I went back to the home screen, and if I press the back button in the home screen I can go back to the place I was. The same thing applies even if I take some tours in Internet Explorer or the settings.

So where does this leave the multitasking question? It's interesting that is seems to support it, but really, the task-switch method isn't the smoothest I've seen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
would it be possible for someone to make a task manager app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
No, not without extended permissions.

But i assume that all apps are suspended while in the background and therefore use zero CPU power. They will probably be killed instantly if the device runs out of memory.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
your apps are not killed only suspended this is what i have been telling people all along it is mostly the same as what most call "multi task" as you can never have two apps in the foreground anyway and if you can return to the previous state of an app this is pretty much the behavor of what your apps do on any os ie ios, android wm6.5 the only thing is 3party apps that play music or gps will not be able to work in the background but for music this is what zune is for and is well put together so not sure if there will be a need for pandora and as far as gps not sure if you will need this on to be actually running in the background pausing it will be more than fine for now. I don't think there will be any gps apps other than bing available at launch for wp7 and i am sure none of the current ones that work on wm6.5 will work. so this one may take care of its self when gps app become available..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sir. Haxalot:
The emulators worked that way for a while, but then they disabled it in a update, but the behavior is back!

As for 3rd party Music streaming services, Microsoft has already showed that they support it by cooperating with Spotify!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentalex2:
I had a mt3g and was always able to get to recovery manually. I recently bought a vibrant, rooted using adb, installed clockwork mod recovery, and did a nandroid. I am unable to get recovery manually. Ive tried every combo of vol^ volv that I could find on these posts. Im ready to start having fun, but am worried for this reason. Any help would be appreciated. Heres my question.

If I start flashing, and my phone gets stuck (vibrant screen, galaxy screen, bootloop, etc.), is there any way I can get recovery without having to do it manually? Would I be able to reboot recovery with adb without mounting? Is there's any other way?

Also, if there is a way, how do I get into clockwork mod recovery so I can restore with nadroid? Would I have to have clockworkmod update zip on my sd and reinstall packages thru stock recovery first? Thank you for any help. Im lost!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byt3b0mb:
make sure you have your clockwork recovery on the root of the internal memory and have it named update.zip

open terminal or command prompt and type adb shell. you will get $ type su to get # type reboot recovery then when in samsung recovery select reinstall packages and you will be in clockwork.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentalex2:
Ok, so I can do this on the computer even though the phone can't be mounted? It will recognize the devise and reboot anyway? Sorry, I'm new to adb.
[Captivate General] gordec:
Guys, so I found out what's wrong with my Captivate. I took the Phantom Skinz Carbon Fiber (it's really vinyl) skin off cause it was peeling a little anyways. My GPS became amazing that's with wireless support off and on stock GPS settings. I also have the Body Glove, and I put the case on. The GPS immediately became the way it was with the Phantom Skinz on cannot lock GPS to save my life. I took the Body Glove off, and the GPS locks like a champ. I left the google maps app on for at least 5 min and copilot on for at least 5 min. Both apps held GPS lock throughout and was accurate within 10 meters.

The above findings were subjective, and I also verified objectively using the phone's GPS test app which demonstrated faster satellite detection time and lock time.

I am pretty confident to say that the GPS should be fine on the phone just the case really affects the GPS much more than wireless signal. I hope this solves some of the GPS issues for others.

I started a new thread so that maybe this could benefit others instead of putting it in the huge GPS Improvement thread.
[Captivate General] rahlquist:
With all due respect if a vinyl skin could atenuate the signal that radically the GPS would be worthless in a car or indoors.
[Captivate General] K-mart Shopper:
I already returned both Body Gloves because of this. With them on, the GPS signals hovered around 38dBHz max, and up in the mid-40's without the gloves.

I recently ordered some Amzer Luxes. Hopefully they don't cut the signal in the same manner.
