[EVO 4G General] one_mic_only:
its nice to finally see 4G make it to dtown in some way...

i personally think the more recent and newer Evo's have better radios or something in them cause my sisters just got hers 2, 3 weeks ago, i got mine in august and she gets 4G where i can't connect to it. its only for a short period but she gets it.

I wonder if its just a software thing, cause i also refuse to update to 3.70 with blockbuster and all that bloatware.
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
Just connected on 8 mile from Gratiot to Dequindre. Speeds sucked though. Highest I hit was 1.6 down, 800k up.

Grabbed the signal on a sense rom

I parked in some abandoned lot by van dyke and switched to cm7 and it took alot longer to connect, in fact it said obtaining ip about 4 times before it finally grabbed. Speeds were the same.

Switched back to sense and it grabbed on the first scan.

Seems to me 4g connects much easier on sense roms. Gonna take a look at this low signal fix right now.
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
I sure am.
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
I'm running koni 3, and I am having a possible issue. I turn the 4g antenna on and it scans and disconnects if there is no 4g service available. The problem is I don't think it will retry connecting unless I hit "tap to scan for service". It would be nice just to leave the 4g on and have it connect when service is available.

I got nothing down that same stretch of 8 mile this morning.
[EVO 4G General] wingzfan:
I wondered the same thing about the rescanning issue. I spent half my drive tapping that stupid button
[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
I noticed the same thing in the past when I'd randomly turn on 4g in a Sense ROM. Is that not normal?
[EVO 4G General] nobrakes:
I think it's because it's based off of 3.70. They changed it to save battery on these roms
[EVO 4G General] lugnuttz:
I tried to connect on 696 between Mound and VanDyke and could not connect. I was clearly within the Sensorly dark green area. I think it must be in the testing phase where it is not available all the time. Kinda bummed, wanted to see what its like.
[EVO 4G General] :
I called a month ago and the rep told me at the end of this year (2011)

But I really feel there's bigger cities to offer 4g in before Detroit

Feels like most companies put Detroit at the end of the line on most things

So I use the 0001.prl

Much faster then sprints prls
[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
I fairly certain that the idea of putting Wimax in Detroit would be to also cover the suburbs. Let's face it, more people live in the suburbs than actually in the city. If they fired up a Wimax signal so weak that it didn't get out of the city, that would suck.

Obviously they're testing Wimax here so it's on the horizon. And I'm guessing the Metro Detroit area is a fairly large market even with our dwindling numbers. I guess I don't understand the idea to put it in Grand Rapids first but... maybe that's just my jealousy? Verizon's announcement for their LTE rollout covered pretty much all the larger cities around Detroit. I somehow don't think Sprint is going to be quite as ambitious.

I'll admit it, after seeing a few coworker's speed tests on their Thunderbolts, I've thought about defecting to VZW. :o
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
I hear that Grand Rapids, or some other part of the government helped pay for it.
[EVO 4G General] Buff McBigstuff:
Rob is right grand rapids paid for that. As far as vzw and lte the reason it started first in the northern and western suburbs was because of an interference issue with a canadian tv station who was using the same spectrum that vzw was deploying lte on. Until they resolved the issue lte wasn't available in detroit and the other "border towns".
[EVO 4G General] Rob the plumber:
I hope it gets rolled out soon. I'd like to be able to download a rom to my phone in less than an hour, and also stream the ufc fights.

My 3g speeds are usually around 500kb/s, and slower during the busier times of the day.
[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
Not very impressed with, the 4g downtown, way to spotty, I would connect, run 1 speed test then would be out of range, best speed was 5 meg, by wayne state, connected on people mover at ren cen stop

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
use google maps on the phone

if i need to mark a location i just star it on the map and come back to it later on the desktop. if on the desktop i star it then go to the phone and hit menu and starred places. or go to layers > more layers > mymaps on the phone

you just cant give a starred place a description on the phone
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
In a pinch, you could use the "Share" functionality to send yourself an email with the map link and annotate it there. But if you do find an app that does exactly what you describe, please report back here.

[G2 and Desire Z General] nitro70044:
my g2 with perm root will not boot into recovery with rom manager/ clockwork installed please help. trying to get cyanogen 6.

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z General] shadyx513:
How are u trying to boot into recovery the only way clockwork works is by selecting rom manager and selecting boot into recovery
[G2 and Desire Z General] nitro70044:
yes i am using rom manager reeboot into recovery and all i get is a red triangle until i pull the battery
[G2 and Desire Z General] nitro70044:
also how can i confirm that i have perm root?
[G2 and Desire Z General] cparekh:
Hit Vol Up and Power. This will continue the boot into recovery. If you have Clockwork you'll see it then, otherwise, you'll still see the stock recovery. If you see stock, reboot and reapply Clockwork recovery.

You can verify root if you boot without running visionary and then go into terminal and type su. If you get a # prompt, you have root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dietotherhythm:
This might sound stupid but select the install on the app menu and install it again. Mine did the same thing to me and I tried it again, 5 seconds later I saw the recovery mod screen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dannyxmelni:
Late reply but if you have yet to figure out, you have to click flash clockworkmod recovery! took me a few hours to figure out but it did the fix for me xD

Hello

Is possible to enable to band HSPA to 850 MHz?

my operator works with 850 MHz

My Wildfire is 900MHz

Looking in the internet I see that HTC Wildfire for Australia have this specification(850/2100)MHz

http://www.htc.com/au/product/wildfire/specification.html

Is possible get the rom or Radio patch of these Phones (Australia) and enable this feature, if the answer is yes, where can i get this rom? or exists other way to enable this feature:(

Dmonium

Excuse me if my english is so bad
[Wildfire General] lemming999:
No. The phones either support 900 or 850 Mhz (amongst other frequencies).

If you have a 900 Mhz phone ti will not work on 850Mhz no matter what software you use.

Likewise, my 850Mhz Wildfire will not work on 900Mhz networks

[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Meant to post yesterday:

Anyone with a Sprint Tab notice whether or not they have this icon/app on their tab?

On the Sprint page it does state "Samsung Social Hub integrates all of the user’s social networking services, messages, personal and business email, calendars and contacts, and can display calendar information from portal calendars, such as Google Calendar, and social networking services together in one view with two-way synchronization"

i contacted Sprint Tech Support and the 1st rep tried sending the app to me, which i think was BS. Then i was put through to Level 2 Tech Support. Level 2 had me do a hard reset and planned for the Tab to take an auto update and hand me the app, which it did NOT. I was then told to go to a Sprint Store because this is a manufacture issue and they will swap out the device.

PS: Tab is 2 hours old

UPDATE:

Today i decided to contact Samsung Tech Support regarding this issue. 1st rep advised me to take my equipment back to where i purchased it for a replacement. I asked to speak to a supervisor and spoke with a "Level 2 Tech". He advised me that BOTH the Sprint and Verizon CDMA units do not have this app/feature at this time and expects a possible upgrade in the near future.

Tonight, not satisfied with the conflicting date i have received, i again contacted: a) a sprint corporate store and b) care tech support. The ditz i spoke to at the store advised me, without looking, that their demo unit did not have this application and would not let me speak to someone in tech & repairs. Called Care Tech Support again and explained the conflicts i have received the last 2 days and she proceded to contact Samsung, put me on hold and CLICK...

Still trying to find out if ANY CDMA UNITS HAVE THIS APP OR NOT...

ANYONE? ANYONE? ANYONE?
[Galaxy Tab General] moonzbabysh:
I have a tmo sgt and I have the media hub, dunno what social hub ur speaking of though
[Galaxy Tab General] npaulseth:
My Sprint Tab doesn't have to app/widget either.
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
Here's the answer you've been looking for:

No CDMA tablet have SocialHub. It's up to the carriers what apps they decide to leave/install/uninstall on their devices.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
It's not on my Bell Tab either.

BTW, do any of YOU have the native Calculator application? I don't, and I miss it, since it is always on my default home screen desktop. The calcs on the market are all over-featured, though they work.
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
no calculator here either. weird they left that out :P
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
That it is.
[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Thanks, but no. If you go to the Sprint website under "Full Feature List" it states

"Samsung Social Hub

An integrated service that merges your social networking, contact, calendar and email information into a single interface. Social Hub is an easier way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues whenever you want, wherever you are. "

I do appriciate your efferts though ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Yes, i have the "Media Hub" but NOT the "Social Hub"

go here to check it out:

http : / / socialhub (dot) samsungmobile (dot) com

Apparently it is an app that is carrier requested, but pre-installed. this app is NOT available through the market or any other markets for that matter and it is not a .apk file available from samsung or from sprint.

Thanks for your input and i do NOT have the Calculator on my Sprint Tab...

That what is?
[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
Spoke to another Tech today who is apparently sending me the .apk. Lets see...
[Galaxy Tab General] infamousjax:
all the social hub is is the sns contact service which integrates facebook, twitter, or myspace into your contact list and also the buddies now and feeds and updates widget. what else do you want?
[Galaxy Tab General] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
If thats all you think it is, you might want to read up on it...

Anyone using barnacle wifi on mytouch and able to actually tether? I know about wifi tether built into the phone or the wireless tether app. Those work fine, I want to use barnacle because of its open NAT. So no critics please. I just need someone that got it to work because my device can see it, but barnacle won't show me its connected or that its a client
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lghorn:
I have it installed and configured, but can't get anything to connect to it. The SSID broadcasts, but it shows up as an available "device" vs. a wifi network. I try to connect by with and without WEP (Barnacle says it failed to parse WEP if security enabled), and it appears to connect, but Barnacle shows no client connections and no access from the other device.

Just using the android wifi tether app instead...

[Focus General] rayb2001:
I tried registering at http://www.samsung.com/us/support/account/regist/SGH-I917ZKAATT

No matter what digits I found on the inside sticker and typed them in for the s/n, it rejected them.

There are two digits way off to the right and then there are four more under the s/n, I tried every combination with and without these without success.

(BTW, I noticed that AT&T doesn't have my phone under 'devices' in my profile. So I can't select it as my phone yet. Geez you'd think these companies were surprised by the phone being released!)

Anyone else try registering the phone? I'm hoping they will have an update soon to fix some of the problems with the phone.
[Focus General] markgamber:
I did manage to get it registered. I tried the serial number, also, but the IMEI is what actually worked. Even then it was kind of "funny" in that it didn't accept the whole thing. The last two or three numbers (when looking at the phone) had to be omitted. The easy way to get the number is to dial *#06# and then just start lobbing off numbers until they accept it.

Edit: If you go to Samsung's home page and go to the "Owners" section you can register it and the page properly asks for and accepts the IMEI number. The link you posted above was what I used to register the first one and it's not right.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my optical joystick doesn't scroll anymore. The button still works if I press it down, but I can't scroll through any text fields. Its not a deal breaker, but I was wondering if anybody else ran in to this problem and if there is a solution.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:

I've also found out that with out the optical joystick, I can't access any of the menu items when I'm in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
you mean the volume buttons don't work in recovery?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejdavis72:
I found the default trackpad file that may help but I'm not sure. Flash this through recovery. Use your volume buttons to move up and down like suggested earlier. If it don't work it won't hurt your phone. It's the original trackpad mapping file. If that don't work then I would suggest using your backup ROM and see if that works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifties:
ejdavis72

I'll give this a try tonight and let you know how it works. I should also state, that flashing my original recovery image didn't help either. I'm pretty sure that is a hardware failure, but I'm still holding some hope.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R5R:
Hi,

I just got my replacement captivate (New not refurb), and though the battery life is much better than my original captivate and it hasn't been shutting down.

Its dropping calls like its going out of style. Ive had tons of dropped calls, and Ive noticed after calls that do last like 15minutes and drop require a reboot to redial, or else theirs no ringtone.(Though the rebooting has only been on when i make calls on the bus, usually in the same area)

Also I have 3 to 4 bars whenever these drops happen. :(

Is anybody else experiencing something similar? Is this "normal" for the captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Really? Normal for a phone with 3 or 4 bars to drop calls, :facepalm: You have something else going on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R5R:

Do you ever think that it could be Rogers? I know their data and voice services have been pretty wonky the last few days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savva:
I have flashed my phone to cognision (only used Rogers Firmware for 1 day).

Compared to my BB Bold 9000 the signal on this Samsung is lower; i'm not sure how everybody else is; maybe the stock firmware has tweaks for Rogers, but from a signal point of view i'm not impressed.

My work has Rogers Cell signals towers on it and i would always have a perfect signal but now i'm only getting 3-4 bars out of the 5.

I'll need to download an app to get the actual db of the signal.

Is there anything we can do to boost the signal or make sure its taking advantage of all the frequencies that are available for Rogers ??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
that's normal - antenna just not pointed down, but pointed horizontaly.

so if you get 3-4 bars - it's good at that location.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ime2010:
I don't think it just happens on you.

What i found out, recently Rogers and FIDO both have really bad drop call problem.

Mine cappy and my friends iphone have this problem randomly last week.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R5R:
humm yeh i think you guys are right its rogers because the calls always drop in the same place when i take the bus between two streets, must be something messed up with their network.

My old nokia N86 never had any dropped calls compared to the captivate, the signal was much better, but then again the captivate has a lower SAR rating which explains the weaker reception
