Hmmm... I have no idea if I care haha, should I care? Being stuck on this mt3gs made me forget all about s-off and what not even was :D
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
Make sure the device is physically good, does not have the power button problem and does not have bad memory blocks in the recovery partition (which would prevent you from flashing a custom recovery)
[Nexus One General] Febby:
Thanks! Well to make sure it has no power button issue, I just have to press it correct? Hold it and make sure it works right? As to check for memory blocks, how can I do so in a public area since we are meeting a local Walmart :P
[Nexus One General] gravufo:
you'll have to gamble for the memory block then :D

power button --> press it quite a few times making sure it responds
[Nexus One General] Febby:
Gamble it is! Chances are though it wont have that :) I hope.. if not I will sale it and make someone else gamble LOL
[Nexus One General] Febby:
Thank you all who gave me advise, I just thought, I'd update the thread...

phone was in pretty much brand new state, person who had it is a phone tech person, even has a zagg screen protector on, no sdcard though, new headphones and charger/usb cable and box :D great deal?

in progress from downgrading from 91 atm to root... any advise on which ROM to settle with?
[Nexus One General] Diamond_dawg:
good deal

i hope you enjoy your new phonw
[Nexus One General] jbr7rr:
Nice i hope you will enjoy your phone :)

if its on FRF91 you dont need to downgrade

use this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736271

i used it as well and it worked fine for me EU FRF91

i can flash custom roms and recovery what i like without unlocking the bootloader.

also about customs roms, just try a few. i was quite happy with CM6.1RC1

and now im using MIUI wich is also a lot of fun :)
[Nexus One General] xyellx:
Flash the latest nightly from cm its full of win

So, did you get it?
[Nexus One General] Febby:
I sure did! I'm using it now, trying to sell my mytouch 3g slide for at least 190$ or less to get back some money. well... silly me was looking at first rooting guide on xda nexus wiki, so i cut off the tap on the battery a bit with the blade :D haha..

wow this phone is so snappy and fast! loving it already :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeisbad:
While restoring using Nandroid after it was finished it took longer then usual. So I took out battery, wiped, and restored again . No success and just flashed myns Rom. I'm using RA Nd backed up before I downgraded hboot. After downgrading installed new splash screen, and then upgraded back to 93 hboot and tried to restore. I also have enough memory for Nandroid
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okolowicz:
When you say no success, what was the result? Did it error out? Did dots keep filling up the screen in perpetutity, etc. etc.

Can't diagnose it without info

O sorry I meant it wouldn't boot
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeisbad:

[myTouch 4G General] lonlawrence:
I'm not yet as in love with my MT4G as most people on here are. I'm coming over from an Evo 4G and I'm not liking the new phone much. I like typing on it better because it fits my hand better, but the lack of real estate (screen size) has me disappointed. I also really miss my touch-buttons at the bottoms instead of these manual hard buttons. I keep "touching" them and they don't do anything.. then I remember I have to PRESS them! LOL.

I've had two automatic reboots since yesterday, which has me concerned. A phone that reboots itself is usually a good candidate to send back, right?

And the speaker.... hasn't anyone noticed the speaker volume SUCKS. My Evo is a LOT louder and my wife's new Motorola Charm is like a foghorn! That Charm is the loudest handset I ever heard... but it has other problems like it won't find certain apps on the market that show up on every other phone! That is really weird.

And if you use an app to get rid of the screen lock (I hate screen locks and see no earthly use for them.... where did they come from?), which is No Lock, works great, except every button on the phone will turn it on!!!!! Without the NO LOCK app, only the trackpad and the power button will turn it on.

That said, I'll probably get used to it and like it fine with time... but both my wife and I had a hard time sending out text messages tonight and we had full bars. The messages kept getting bounced back saying they weren't able to be sent (although it turned out some of them did go, even though they said they didn't). I don't know what caused it, but I'm not liking TMO much with problems like that right off the bat. In a month I'll know if I'm keeping it or going to AT&T as they will be in town some time in December.

What do I like? Well, the screen has just the same sensitivity as my Evo... nobody makes a touch screen like HTC!!!! I love it.

And the Battery! Wow... what a battery saver this phone is. I had to put the 3500 mah Seidio battery on my Evo to make it through the day, but this one has been "up" for 15 hours with 30% left and heavy usage today. When I unplug my Evo, it drops 5%-8% in 5 minutes. This one went a couple hours on 100% with heavy usage before it started to drop. I thought the meter was whacko!
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
ok so u say u like that it fits in ur hand good but yet u complain that its to small? that makes no sense at all. but anyways the evo isnt a bad phone but when it comes to performance this mt4g kicks the evos ass with a 2nd gen snapdragon and 768mb ram vs evos 512mb ram and the evos 1st gen snapdragon. im not a fan of this htc sense to much but once we get gingerbread it should be good bye too htc sense, because its suppose to kill off all this third party bs that is over the stock android software. so far the only problem had with this phone is the white one would make creaking nosies a lot at the bottom so i took it back for the black one and so far so good. no problems yet. i came from an htc hd2 running the evos rom on it so i know how u feel with battery life, i had to get a extended battery for it as well but mine was only 2400mah. but u just gotta get use to this phone thought its a very good phone and has a lot of features to back it up.
[myTouch 4G General] lonlawrence:
Yes, it does make sense. I can complain about the screen being too small, but still like how it fits in my hand. I know, it's a trade-off. If it's going to fit your hand nice, then you HAVE to have a smaller screen. That said, a smaller screen, when in landscape, makes it easier to type without reaching for the keys. However, my son types in portrait mode, and the keys are a lot smaller. Also, I haven't noticed any difference in speed with the two processors, so that's a mute point (the only way you can tell is with the speed tests and they seldom relate to real-life work). I've watched movies and played games and I don't see any difference in speed. I was running the Evo with CM6, Fresh and Myn's Warm ROMs and loved them all. One other thing I forgot to mention is the fact that Tmo coverage, while it shows very good on a map, isn't great here. Our phones go to roaming too much. We don't have any good carriers in Carlsbad, NM. Sprint and Alltel are both having trouble and ATT isn't here yet, and TMO is spotty. That doesn't help me fall in love with the phone, that and the worrying about the automatic shut-downs and restart twice. It all makes me apprehensive about the whole deal.

I wouldn't put too much store in gingerbread getting rid of manufacturers look, feel, or apps. It will be like every other upgrade and we'll have to wait until each manufacturer customizes it for each phone and it will look and feel the same (as far as HTC sense goes). Htc isn't going to give up Sense in any update they release. If we get it on a ROM (and root our phones), then it's no different than any other ROM, you can get with or without sense.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
well return the phone if ur having problems with it and they should take care of u, next the gingerbread i heard they where killing off all 3rd software and putting there own stuff in android 2.3 so there for htc sense and moto blur and stuff like that is not needed so lets hope that happens.
[myTouch 4G General] lonlawrence:
@s10shane, I might end up returning the phone. The girl I talked to (2nd line tech support) said they have never seen an MT4G do automatic reboots (and she has one, too) so she suggested I get rid of all installed apps for a few days and then add them back one at a time as she suspected an app was causing the shutdown. they are the same apps I had on my Evo, so I doubt if they are causing a shutdown, but they might be! I'm just reluctant to do it that way, not have a shutdown for a couple days, then after installing apps 1 at a time (and waiting how long before installing another one?) then one day it happens again. Since you never know when it's going to happen, it's going to be hard to pinpoint an app causing it because it's not something you can force and it happens so seldom. My other problem with them porting the sprint number to this still isn't resolved, which I'm peeved about because I need to send my sprint phone back before getting charged $500 for it (long story). My wife and I both have had text messages not go out (failed to send) and the tech support worked on that problem yesterday, but I think I've tracked it down to Chompsms and Handscent. When I use the stock app, they go out, but when I use the other two, about half the time they don't... WTF? This phone seems a little problematic to me so far, but with sprint and alltel having trouble here in town, I don't have any other carrier to turn to. I'm caught between a rock and hard place.
[General Questions and Answers] amigabill:
I haven't found any discussion about using Android devices without a phone carrier at all, is this possible or must the device be activaed on a carrier before it does anything at all? What I'm thinking of is basically the Android equivalent of the iPod Touch. It's still a smart device, still does wifi, still runs all those apps, but there's no phone service at all. More than blocking data plan that I have seen discussed, I want no voice plan either.

I know that some people think it's stupid enough to want a smartphone with no data plan on a carrier, you guys will probably think I'm retarded to want to leave out voice service as well. Well, I'd use it as a phone if I didn't have to pay for data plans and stick to wifi, as those other discussions want to do, but now that the monthly fee is absolutely mandatory on my carrier, well, I'm just not willing to pay that much. I've thought about buying an iPod Touch to compliment my dumb phone, but I'd rather have the Android equivalent so I'm not limited to apps approved by Apple.

I suppose some might say the Phillips GoGear Connect is what I should get, but I'll be annoying and say I want a front facing camera so maybe Evo 4G with no carrier service is even better so I can video skype with it. Would the Evo 4G work for me, or is it a useless zombie util it's activated on a cell carrier? What about other smartphone devices, do they all work or all not work?
[General Questions and Answers] Captainkrtek:
Well you can buy uncontracted devices like I have and there are also plenty of tablet android devices that dont come with a plan. as for actual phone devices most of them come with a plan because its presumed that you will use it to make calls. Thats where tablets come in, usually contract free (Galaxy Tab exception) and allow for full use of the device using WiFi or another connection source.
[General Questions and Answers] amigabill:
My only problem with tablets is they are too big. I want something phone sized or iPod Touch sized. (which is about the size of a phone)
[General Questions and Answers] rice247:
As long as the device is running 2.0+ (I think) , you won't need it tied to a carrier to use it. You can do it with older FW too but it would need a data plan so you can sign in and get to the home screen and use it. Newer FW, you can activate wifi during setup so you can log in to your gmail account.

Once logged in, you can use it like a iPod touch, download from the market, etc.

I have a Captivate, Incredible, and a Fascinate that I've been able to use while not hooked up to a carrier. I've even had a G1 without a carrier. Just had to borrow a friends SIM to log in to my gmail for activation but then works after that without it.
[General Questions and Answers] danielefeldt:
Did this with my HD2 running Android

So I'm an adventurous 19 year old guy living on Maui in Hawaii. I'm also a sponsored almost professional scooter rider. So I look up behind me and what do I see? a 10,023 foot tall volcano called Haleakala. So I was looking around for something to do and saw my scooter. The nearest skatepark is too damn far so I hiked 13 miles up this volcano all the way to the summit at 10,023 feet and took pictures then bombed down the perfectly smooth paved rode 28 miles to the bottom at about 45 miles an hour on my kick scooter.

Blah blah blah, anyways...

I jumped over a nice dip in the rode and my HD2 which was just bought the day before flew out of my pocket at about 25 miles an hour and hite the ground once on the corner then flew off in to the grass. I found the battery, cover and phone itself after about 30 minutes of looking. The screen was good besides a few deep scratches and a nice sized dent in the battery cover. The plastic of the phone was pretty scratched as well.

Mad? Nahh not at all. I was looking for a reason to get a new phone already after 24 hours and this gave me a good reason to go get that sexy looking G2 I saw...

So Now I am happy with my G2 and also use my HD2 as my mobile computer with the Ubuntu and android OS on it. Ubuntu is for word processing since I am a writer. Android is for my camera and music and games. It works out amazing and I love the look of peoples faces when im messing around with two phones on the bus...

Go for it. You wont be dissappointed and it beats the IPOD touch hands down. Sorry I capitalized ipod, it didnt deserve it...
[General Questions and Answers] darkendandroid23:
Now that's a story! You better take care of your G2, did you sell your HD2?

Anyone run into this issue? I've been on various iteraitons of Onyx. Decided to Odin back to JFD to get a clean install, but not getting any mobile data afterwards. Wifi works, but no Edge or 3G. Even flashed Onyx 4.2 on top and still no data. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
are you on airplane mode?

Having a similar issue...was not getting any data connection until I switched to 2G only...i got the 3G to work briefly by messing with the combi bands, but now its back to edge only. I came from obsidian 4.2 and odin'd back to JFD.

Will Verizon Lte network have any effect on the Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] slvrevoix:
Nope. You would have to have a different radio to be able to pick up the signal. Sadly we can't do this through a software update.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
The effect it will have is sadness. That LTE is so fast and we are 3g!!!
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
As long as the LTE network isn't hooked up at the same places the current network is and they don't have to share any bandwidth between them, there won't be a difference. If one cable is carrying all the traffic from the current 3G system and the upcoming 4G network, there could be some slight slow down in data speeds, but that would be the only way it would affect you.
[Fascinate General] theraptscallion:
I live in the middle of nowhere, so LTE won't have an effect on any phone I buy for years to come.

If Verizon follows Sprint's lead, the fascinate may actually gain an advantage by not incurring the extra fees associated with LTE access (e.g. the EVO 4G)

I don't expect to see LTE penetration beyond the biggest urban markets for quite some time (remember how slow 3g spread?)
[Fascinate General] phoenx06:
This is me just thinking, but the LTE rollout may actually help us a bit. My reasoning in this is that some of the load will be lifted off of 3g when people start moving to LTE, giving us more bandwidth. Thats just me thinking though.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
Negative on that. Actually LTE is to cover 110 million people by the end of the year alone, and full penetration (97% of territory) by 2013. I see their efforts ramped up much more this time around
[Fascinate General] iTz Nicholas72:
I'm the primary on my families plan so I just have to wait a year and I get to upgrade so hopefully by them 4G well be in my area and there still be some legit 4G phones to choose from.
[Fascinate General] dmasjz45:
This is true indeed...probably would take some time to lighten bw loads, but caps would be raised eventually and 3g speeds would increase some
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
Agreed, however this depends on how quickly they get phones rolling out, but I think by then we will also want to be on lte phones.
[Fascinate General] mexiken:
LTE phones will appear at earliest Feb or March of next year, and thats a best case scenario....
[Fascinate General] snapounds:
The new LTE network is ran on a seperate fiber from the current 3g network. 3g is T1 based, LTE is ethernet. One will not affect the other.
[Fascinate General] NKT:
This is "somewhat" true. Yes, LTE is on the ethernet backhaul network (requirement for LTE). But a good portion of the country also has EVDO on ethernet as well.
[Fascinate General] yuhang:
Bummer... I was hoping that much like the Tmobile network it would help our phones... Thank you for the information.
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
I created this thread because there seems to be some confusion as to the differences between the T-Mobile, Euro, and (soon to arrive) AT&T branded versions of the Galaxy Tab. I'm sure at some point enough information will exist for a proper XDA wiki entry, but for now, we need a thread for each variant with specs, and where possible, hack/flash options, including phone and data connections.

So this will be the US AT&T thread, where we can get the facts straight for those who wish to use AT&T as their carrier with a Galaxy Tab.

THIS THREAD IS FOR US AT&T GSM ONLY, DISCUSSIONS ABOUT CDMA (SPRINT, VERIZON, ETC) SHOULD BE IN ANOTHER THREAD!

Other carrier-specific threads:

US Tmobile Galaxy Tab flashed to make phone calls (currently phone works only, no 3G data)

(I would suggest to moderators that other non-AT&T and CDMA-related posts be removed or moved to a more appropriate thread.)

Alright, for starters, let me post the US AT&T frequency information, so that n00bs can be up to speed.

850 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G

1900 MHz	GSM/GPRS/EDGE	2G

850 MHz	UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA	3G

1900 MHz	UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA	3G

This should be helpful when we discuss the Galaxy Tab specs. I will be re-editing this post as new information comes in.

[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Actually, the SGH-I987 version that AT&T is getting has already launched. In Canada. On two carriers.

The Bell version has two model numbers on the back, the GT-P1000M (firmware is different, and presumably less crippled than what AT&T will release, hello sideloading), and the FCC model number of SGH-I987 on the back cover, so the internals are identical to the AT&T unit.

And you missed a few bands, any Galaxy Tab with a SIM card will work on 2100 UMTS as well as 900 and 2100 GSM/GPRS/EDGE.
[Galaxy Tab General] Suleeto:
AT&T should be releasing their branded version of the Galaxy Tab on the 21st (just a few days from this posting). If I understand right (this is where the value of this thread will come into play), the specs for the T-Mobile version are different in terms of the 3G radio frequencies.

IF this is true, then it would mean that if you plan to use AT&T as your US carrier:

You must run an AT&T branded Galaxy Tab

You must run a Euro-spec Galaxy Tab*

*specific procedure for this to work is unverified at this time

Price

At this time, the price for an AT&T branded Galaxy Tab will be $650 from AT&T. It will have two pay as you go plans--$14.99 for 30 days and up to 250MB of storage or $25 for 30 days of up to 2GB. This is similar to how they currently handle the iPad plans.

HOWEVER, as many people here on XDA-devs know, it has always been possible to take a GSM SIM and move from phone to phone, and provided that the frequencies are compatible, the services should carry over and the device change remains largely in the control of the owner. Of course, they can detect the IMEI at the carrier, but in most cases they are not blocking IMEI's. If your device has the right radios and frequencies, it should work. In the past, this has been the case with most devices.

So the question is: Does the Euro-spec Galaxy Tab have the same frequencies as the AT&T branded Galaxy Tab? It should, considering that the specs for the Euro version seem to reflect the same frequencies that AT&T uses.

In theory, getting the software right on the Euro-spec Galaxy Tab should be a matter of flashing a working cooked ROM to enable phone and 3G connectivity.

As of the time of this post, one or two people have managed to get a Galaxy Tab phone service working with AT&T, although I am unsure about 3G.

Again, the purpose of this thread is to clear up these questions, and keep it focused on getting a fully-functional Galaxy Tab on the AT&T carrier. Meaning both phone and 3G working as normal with any other device.
[Galaxy Tab General] feisley:
I can confirm that the European Tab works fine on at&t with full 3G and Voice dialing.

It is model GT-P1000

FCC ID: A3LGTP1000

I have been using it for the past few weeks and it seems to support all the required frequencies. It has operated in every mode including (G)PRS, (E)DGE, (3G) and (H)SPA
[Galaxy Tab General] Technomancer:
Stupid question then. Doesn't Canadian Rogers use the same frequencies as AT&T?

They sell Galaxy Tab too right? Does their Galaxy Tab have voice call capability?

I am interested in buying Galaxy Tab that could do 3G on AT&T and can make voice calls so I could use it as my phone ;-)
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
No voice calling on any of the North American Tabs. The Rogers and Bell units are the same units AT&T will be getting next week.
[Galaxy Tab General] maxtcee:
Can someone post att apn settings
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
However, keep in mond, the EUR does NOT support the 850 3G band, only 1900.

[Galaxy Tab General] tiptoekirk:
Interesting news... I bought an unlocked device in Kuwait City and it matches that FCC id number, but it had some Arabic apps loaded onto it, does this mean the euro and middle east versions are the same?

Also, how much of AT&T's network is is 850?? I didnt think the 3G would work back in the states... btw, my home is in the DC area is that helps.. Thanks!
