[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_ahmadzais:
Sgs is soo laggy and GPS doesn't work. Keep your desire I wouldn't trade my x10 with sgs and desire is out of question.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atty101:
As an owner of both a captivate and an epic 4g, I can tell you that the sgs line is a bit laggy. BUT that's exactly what the xda community is for! I did a lag fix on the captivate and it effing FLIES! I kid you not. The sgs phones are not without problems but most are fixable. I'm loving mine. I'm sure you will too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrace:
A friend has a sgs, and really don't rate it compared to the desire.

It doesn't 'feel' nice to hold, and proves harder to operate with 1 hand, not a problem for some but it helps.

The larger screen doesn't appear as crisp playing the same avi, not sure if it was the way the colours were set or not, but def had some blurring on faster parts of the avi.

The browser seems slower as well on sgs, seems to hang for quite a while before loading up pages, even something like Google seemed to take longer.

Sgs does have swype otb, which is nice, but imo just falls short on so many areas anyone would be stupid to get the sgs instead of the desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebongo:
Listen up dude - the GPS really doesn't work in a usable, driving around fashion. If you don't use the GPS then you might like it. If you do then forget it.

so you guys sure that i should stick! to the desire? and the software updates cant fix the galaxy s?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragooon123:
My little story might help you. 5 weeks ago I got a Samsung Galaxy S, lagged like anything(Although their are many hacks on SGS board for fixing this) and had terrible GPS reception. The piece itself had the 3 buttons download mode disabled, I got a replacement and same problems. So I returned it and instead got a Desire(Although I did SLCD brick it but that was my stupidity).

SGS is a very good phone though, has true multi-touch and much better GPU. The screen is bigger and very nice.

Pros of Desire when compared to SGS is that Desire has a lot more sturdy feeling, LED Flash(Which I don't care about but it makes a nice torch), HTC Sense(Seriously, Samsung's touchwiz is kinda crap), a much bigger ROM community(Atleast when I last checked, Desire is more hacked and slashed and has a lot of options). Has official as well as a lot of spin-offs/AOSP Froyo(SGS has a few leaked ones but nothing else).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sibbi:
There's one thing that makes the sgs a no go phone: samsung!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiterin:
As I own both devices, I think I may have something to add here. Both devices have their pros and cons. The Galaxy S does have a larger and slightly better screen. It looks great. Without the lagfix, its terrible to use though. Even after the lagfix, there are points where the Desire does still feel faster. As some have said, the Desire also feels more substantial in hand. I have found that the battery life on the Galaxy S, even after the lagfix, is better then the battery life on the Desire...by a good bit too. No camera flash on the Galaxy, which sucks... becayse I find myself using it often. Over all, the Galaxy S IS a better device spec wise. The software portion goes to the Desire though. They are pretty much on the same level, so it wouldn't really be worth it to move from one device to the other.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acegolfer:
I have Win7 HTPC with lots of TV recordings in WTV format. How can I watch them on Epic over 3g/wifi network?

I know there are options such as

1. orb player

2. slingplayer

They are not optimal and I would like to know any other options. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acegolfer:
I just learned about allshare. Will allshare stream WTV in HTPC to the phone over wifi?

I think it should but I don't have Epic to prove it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acegolfer:
Just got my Epic today.

Bad news: Epic can't play WTV files using allshare. It can play avi files.

Good news: Allshare can stream videos from phone to DMA2200. I videoed my kid and played it to the big screen TV wirelessly.

I in order to play wtv on any meida player or portable device, a recommended solution is convert wtv to a more popular video format like convert wtv to avi, wmv, mp4, mov, vob, flv, asf, mpg and etc

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allthrottle:
The g2 has data speeds as quick or quicker than what other providers refer to as 4g. I don't care what you call it though... If it's fast it's fast.

Sent from my Vibrant using the xda-app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pinoiryder:
would it make a difference? probably not in may case anyways.. i barely get 3G connections around my area..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jej428:
I thought they are calling it HSPA+? You can go to t-mobile website to see if you are getting it soon. Unfortunately, they have not announced coverage for me. And the G2 is the only phone that can run HSPA+? So either way vibrant users are out of luck. I've also heard that it's not that much faster than 3G...can't remember where though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Your TMO rep is an idiot. He said 4G because nobody has heard of HSPA+.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhuny:
4G is a speed standard not a type of wireless technologe. As long as your speed reachs the stardard you can call it 4G.

Not true at all.

4G = 4th generation = the 4th generation of wireless data technology....

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
It's the exact opposite of what you said. 4G is a technology standard just as 3G and 2G are.

T-Mobile's HSPA+ network operates on a HSPA (3G) technology.

Where can i see if my city will get hspa+?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhuny:
LTE, WiMax is all branded 4G but I don't think 4G it self is a technology.

HSPA+ is a new technology which is evo from HSPA (3G), but if LTE can call itself 4G why can't HSPA+?

YES!! Norfolk VA coming soon!! Now to decide on getting the G2 or waiting on the myTouch HD?? Decisions Decisions.. :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techpreneur:
There are already someone hspa+ towers in our area. Some are in Norfolk and I know of one in great bridge... the great bridge tower was installed less than a year ago. Guess they installed hspa+ on it since its new. I got 5 megs down on that tower with my vibrant.

I say wait for the mytouch hd
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julez456:
Yea that's what I was thinking. I'm hearing about too many problems with the G2. What Great Bridge tower you getting 5 megs out of? I live in Chesapeake and the most I've gotten was between 1.5 and 2.0 megs down in this area.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZombieDude00:
This totally fits under Vibrant Accessories wtf not to thread bash but wouldn't it be better elsewhere.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pack:
If you put [Q] in the subject of your thread do you really think it belongs in Accessories? I mean its not like it matches the sub: Q&A or anything :/

This page will tell you all about the new HSPA+ network.:

http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/

If you scroll down youll see a mini map of the US on the left and under it a link that says "Learn more about HSPA+"

when you click it you'll see the area's that have already been upgraded along with the area's that are soon going to be upgraded.

I even attached a picture of the coverage map... I don't understand why people keep talking about this like its a secret/not real....

when a company comes out with something that other companies don't have, or even just something new that other companies do have either way they promote it...

1 look at tmobile.com and most questions are answered. With that much info on this subject this thread and the 50 others about the same thing should be dead... but thats just my opinion :/

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havok800:
HSPA+ is available limitedly on several phones already out the Vibrant included if you check signal under status u will sometimes see ur connected at those speeds but it will only show 3g the Touch Pro 2 / HD2 / MyTouch Slide and a few other phones will also get the limite HSPA+. The G2 is just the first to the the full HSPA+ and T-Mobile shall be calling it 4g soon.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnob:
Not true. We have hspa+ in nashville and I'm getting double the speed on my vibrant vs. 3g. I'm getting 850 kB/s. The g2 will get higher speeds but the vibrant is benefiting from the hspa towers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
Most likely the speed increase is NOT from hspa+ but from jobs done on the tower backend that increased the hard line capacity, aka internet bandwidth.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejaq2:
T-mobile getting 4G

I am already getting hspa+ just outside the beltway in the DC metropolitan area, w/ my Vibrant (this was one of the key selling point to keeping my long standing contract w/T-mobile) vs. going w/ an alternate provider. so far blazingly fast speeds. I have the phone USB tethered to my notebook (PDA.net-seemless) and I am returning Comcast's modem tomorrow due to disappointing service. I couldn't be happier with this (device) which goes way beyond the periphery of a phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShadowMan:
I don't even get 3g where I live or work! I would expect T-mobile to maybe expand their 3g coverage before they try and run with the big boys.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0hnZ:
Lawl at this thread.

My MT3G got limited HSPA+ when I used it, the Vibrant does to. We max out at 7.2mpbs...which is plenty fast considering your capped at 10GB/month I think it is anyways.

Here's a screenshot of my speed when I was on the way to Fry's in Renton, WA one day:

[Captivate General] ivioo:
Does any one have a list of AT Terminal commands for the Captivate? that would be just swell

I asked for them on the Samsung website and they thought it was a feature I wanted added to the phone, they had no clue :(

I have looked on a lot of forms for other phones and over 1/2 the commands don't work on the Captivate :'(

I was looking on some general AT forms and found two different commands to connect the phone to the network but they returned with errors, I tried to post the AT commands here but since I'm new it will not let me post them because it thinks they are links.
[Captivate General] TMC_Sherpa:
I'm confused, are you talking about AT modem stuff like AT&F&C1&D2?
[Captivate General] USHERROB:
Not quite sure what you are talking about. The only phones I have seen w/ AT commands are Motorola's, using RSD and F&B3 etc. Are you talking about those??
[Captivate General] othermark:
They are probably asking about the AT command set for the 3G modem in the captivate for use for tethering.

This is what I had been using for tethering on my N95 with AT&T medianet. (/etc/ppp/ppp.conf on freebsd -- this will be somewhat different in Linux land) I have not tried the same commands with the captivate yet to see if they work. This at least lists the AT commands. Of course, '\' is line continuation.

medianet:
set device /dev/cuaU0
set phone "*99***1#"
set authname "WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM"
set authkey "CINGULAR1"
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
\"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATQ0V1E1S0=0&C1&D2+FCLASS=0 OK \
AT+CGDCONT=1,\\\"IP\\\",\\\"wap.cingular\\\" OK \
AT+COPS? OK \
\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
add default HISADDR
set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0

EDIT: Just tested it on the captivate, connects to medianet just fine. Yay for tethering on JH7
[Captivate General] ivioo:
Sorry for the late reply

Yes I'm looking for the AT command set for the 3G modem in the captivate. I'm trying to use the program "Tera Term VT" on windows 7 computer (for some reason Microsoft decided to not include Hyper Terminal with the win 7 OS) and I'm kind of new to the whole commands for the terminal.

I can get the commands that start with "AT" to be recognized with the terminal but I don't know what to do with the "set" and "\" commands since I'm not using freebsd.
[Captivate General] othermark:
What I posted is the ppp.conf configuration segment for the userspace ppp program on FreeBSD.

The 'set' commands setup the configuration for ppp to talk to the modem and establish the ppp channel, even the 'set dial' segment (which you're interested in) has a special format/meaning to ppp.

A line by line explanation can be found here.

To make it even less understandable, the 'dial' string is in the chat format. Lol. Seriously not for the feint of heart technical reading, however this is what we had to deal with in the old days to get internet access...

Basically what you're seeing in the dial string is a string to send and then a expected response. There is a prelude of strings that the modem may generate, as well as how long to wait at the end. All the

'\\\'

strings are escapes and certain strings like

'\d' '\T'

have special meaning in the chat syntax.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjsph88:
Background:

I rooted my phone back in August using the method described in this video (http://androidandme.com/2010/07/phones/intro-to-rooting-your-sprint-htc-evo-4g-video/) I've flashed numerous ROMs to my phone without much issue. However I recently flashed the latest Fresh ROM and have no data connection. I know its not the ROM itself because I nandroid restored back to 3 different ROMs and still cannot connect.

I upgraded and downgraded my PRI and Radio to various versions but still no luck. So next I called Sprint and asked them to reactivate my phone thinking that it would reset the connection and fix my issue. They asked me to type in ##(somenumbers)## which rebooted my phone and brought me to the hands-free activation screen. Not only did this not work, but I fully lost all connectivity. Previously I had a 3G logo that wasn't lit up, but my phone was able to download "some" data at very slow speeds. Now no 3G logo and no connection.. (idk why I called sprint?!?)

I figure loosing root and installing the latest OTA should fix my problem. So I initially tried the method described in the forums (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743192), and got stuck at a black screen with an HTC logo. My HBOOT number changed to 0.93.0000 but im still rooted.

Next I downloaded the latest ota through my phone via wifi, but the install process fails about half way through. So now I'm thinking that if I downloaded the latest unrooted ota to my PC and flashed to the ROM I could lose root that way.

Solution?:

What are your thoughts? Do you think going back to stock unrooted android will fix my issue?

I truly appreciate ANY help you can give me. I'm completely "lost" without a working phone!

THANKS!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debugguy:
Do this first, update your PRL and Profile, always do this when you update the radio.

Then if that does not work, proceed with the steps below.

Do the nandroid restore, I would hope you are using ARMON RA b/c it backs up your WIMAX(wimax.img). Get you phone working again then focus on the the

radio(s).
[General Questions and Answers] eggcream:
The speaker on my Nexus one blew, I'm going to send it back for warranty, my concern is that I've run some custom ROM's in the past, but I've been using (what I believe to be) the stock 2.2 rom for a few weeks. My boot loader is unlocked but when I called the warranty support line I asked about the "unlocked padlock at the bottom of the screen when the phone starts" I was told it wouldn't effect or complicate anything.

How can I check that I'm running a real stock copy of froyo?

Is there anything else I should check, change, or make sure of before I send it away?.

I'm just having it repaired not getting a new one I'm hoping this will make them overlook the boot loader, if it even becomes a concern.

I forgot to mention that OTA updates wont install on the phone, the download and when I restart it and go to install it says the package could not be verified.
