[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesfrom818:
I picked up a brand new G2 off craigslist and I've rooted it already. Phone is awesome. I can finally stream my Amazon Video On Demand collection without a hitch. I'm not noticing too much of a difference when I run speedtest.net though.

Do I have to change my data plan with T-Mobile? I live and work in LA so maybe the network is just jammed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadrunnerx7:
no speeds in LA just suck that bad. ive driven around all LA and never been able to get those hspa+ speeds, im thinking LA isnt enabled yet. but call tmobile and complain because when i called and said i wasnt the only when experiencing that they said it could be the phone.. my friend has a g2 also, and i dont think shes getting the speeds either. so make sure you call!! hopefullly either theyll tell us the truth or send some patch or something idk
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas155:
I also live in LA, (commute between Long Beach and El Segundo) and I don't get the advertised data speeds... just the regular ole 3G speeds here. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtentpeg:
In my area, I've actually seen not a boost in speed but a boost in reception quality moving from my N1 (which I still love ever so much, and might just sell my G2 for :P ). I stay on 3G/HSPDA in more areas than I used to. And I drop down to 2g less often during tower switches.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dietotherhythm:
it all depends on location, for example, I live in a suburb of Chicago where the new network is supposed to be already up at, (about 5 miles away) and I get horrible speeds in my home (0.90 MBits) then about 20 miles in the other direction from Chicago (Aurora) speedtest said i was estimated at less than 5 miles from the aurora server in IL. I got speeds of nearly 9 MBits. I would complain but after some testing I guess it's just my location and could be the same problem for you, or I could just be high and we all have shoddy phones.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:
+1 for location. I'm in NYC so even with HSDPA enabled, I get 3G like speeds, a little faster, but when I go out to the suburbs, I get about 5Mbps which is quick, wifi like speeds.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J-Hop2o6:
yea.. prolly too many ppl hoggin up the bandwidth there.. here's my speed test right now (3pm PST):
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
A faster phone isn't going to give you faster data speeds if the network is the bottleneck.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwanatu:
Very true. At home I get 6Mbps pretty consistently, and the speeds are just downright incredible! At work I get a measly 300-400Kbps because the tower that I'm near at work is still stuck on 3G, not to mention I have horrible coverage in general at work (signal drops all the time).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajbaba2:
I have reception in walmart now lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.youngberg:
At home my speeds are usually between 4 and 6 megs down and 700k up. My wife has a Vibrant and she gets around 3 to 4 megs down. I think we just live I'm a good coverage area. In some places I'll drop down to 1mb down. That's still dsl like speeds lol.

I live in kansas city.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EEaudio08:
How do you manage this? I have a G2 as well - coming from a rooted G1. I'm guessing you have to set the browser mode to "desktop browswer" and just sign in to Amazon VOD?

I don't really feel the need to root my phone, since it comes with wifi tether built in, but I really want to be able to stream Amazon VOD...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.youngberg:
Also curious to hear about your method of watching amazon on demand.
[Epic 4G General] EGRENY1:
Hi guys, it's my first time here, sorry if I'm repeating the same question that others had b4, but I can't seen to find the answer. My wireless_tether_***.apk was working fine b4 I updated to Froyo. What can I do to get it going again?

Thank you.
[Epic 4G General] dhero1:
Go back to 2.1? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:
I believe you need to be rooted in order for this to work. If you are on just froyo, I dont think it will work.
[Epic 4G General] EGRENY1:
I have rooted it for a while now. Going back to 2.1? Really?
[Epic 4G General] ToiletDuck555:
This happened to me as well. After searching the answer was to go to an older version of wifi tether.

What worked for me was the pre11 apk in the link below.

[Epic 4G General] bnguyen1983:
Pre14 didn't work for me had to get 15
[Epic 4G General] richse:
Pre15 works fine with froyo. Maybe you could try getting the latest version and installing it. I know this seems like a crazy idea, but how about you give it a go anyhow.
[Epic 4G General] EGRENY1:
I've tried many different versions, including the most recent one, & no luck, I think that it could be some of my settings. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G General] EGRENY1:
One thing I just remember, when on 2.1 it asked me for the superuser permission, now it hasn't. Could that be it? How do I give the permission without asking for it?
[Epic 4G General] EGRENY1:
Isn't it possible that I lost my root?
[Epic 4G General] chzeckmate:
Kernel?

When I attempt to tether I'm getting that my kernel doesn't support it. How should I proceed?
[Epic 4G General] windyhawk:
make sure the version of wifi-tether you use supports your device.

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

The above link shows the download and corresponding version that you should use for Epic. I used the lastest version pre15, and it works fine on my 2.2.1 froyo DK28 firmware.

I don't know which firmware are you using, but the pre15 should support the latest froyo
[Epic 4G General] IcOpRo:
I'm using PRE13 and its working fine for me, used it a couple of times already.. here you go hope this link works.

[Epic 4G General] windyhawk:
That's my guess but not sure. one way to check if you lost your root is:

On your phone,

1. go to market, download and install Terminal Emulator

2. run Terminal, then at the prompt line, type "su" (don't include quotation marks) and then hit enter on keyboard

3. if the system says "su not found", that means you lost your root

This may be my stupid way to verify my rooting status. Other experienced users may have better way to do it:)
[Epic 4G General] windyhawk:
after update to froyo, it may unroot your phone. who knows, better check it first
[Epic 4G General] EGRENY1:

You need to root your phone first and install the Clockworkmod recovery, for rooting try to use this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8258942 rooting will void your warranty so be careful!

After that go to the android market and look for Rom Manager, open the app and select "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery", after that turn off your phone, load Hboot (by pressing the volume down button and the power button) and you should be able to find the options that you're looking for!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
Does anyone think that there may be a possibility that with Google's using a phone so similar to the Galaxy S that it may help out further development with the Galaxy S series? Think about it - the Hummingbird is about to go mainstream as far as development goes!

I've bought a Vibrant in the past and ended up selling it because of the horrid GPS issues (even with all the GPS "fixes" and custom ROMs), only to find out down the road that I never use the GPS functionality anyways.

I have a G2 right now - I like it, but the hinge on the keyboard leaves me concerned about how long the phone will last. I tried the MT4G as well - I simply couldn't tolerate the interface and development for that phone is pretty weak at the moment.

The crazy thought running through my head is that since I never use the GPS anyhow, I might want to see about getting a Vibrant again. I'm not worried about 2.2 not having been officially released yet, nor about 2.3 as I know before too long someone will port it to the Vibrant - I rarely ever use stock ROMs for more than a few days anyhow.

So, all GPS issues aside, am I foolish for thinking that it may be a good idea to pick up another Vibrant?

If you're thinking of picking up a Vibrant why not just wait until Decem--wait, nevermind. Want to buy my Vibrant?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackElvis79:
I really never had a "major" gps issue to begin with, just with the amount of time that it took to get a lock. But as builds have progressed ... JK* JI* now JL1 its just gotten to the point where I get a lock in 3-5 seconds INSIDE the house. Plus, I've never run into a tenth of the issues that alot of members talk of having here. I think its mostly on the user, not the device.

Lag fix? Never have, never will!

[Nexus S General] uansari1:
I agree in spirit. I'm just salty about the lack of any notification LED and dock contact points. I want a device with polish... the N1's docking and notifications are still unrivaled, but they could at least have put those into their device.

I'll still probably get the phone and hope that some nice docks are in the pipeline so I can sell my N1 and the docks.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
+1

I remember how pissed everyone was when Google closed the web store thinking they caved into the carriers demands and there would never be a pure android phone again.

So now that Google actually comes out with an even better phone everyone wants to complain? I could care less if its a dual core or doesn't have an SD card or wasn't as game changing as the Nexus One.

All I care about is the concept:

- Google phone with pure android

- Better specs than Nexus One

- Can be used w/ t-zones

People complaining it wasn't a game changer need to be happy there at least is an option now in case our Nexus One is lost. I know I sure am :D
[Nexus S General] wang1404:
You sure it's going to be the benchmark for the entire next year?

Sure it'll be the benchmark for next 6 months i'd say but heck, neither LG Star nor Motorola Olympus is ready yet and why they were running 2.2? Because they were made before Gingerbread was even ready for the Nexus S. They were built from scratch not from an existing product. My opinion, I love my Nexus One. It was the true innovation the time it came out. Who had AMOLED screen and snapdragon processor on one phone back in June? except for HD2, nobody really did. It set the benchmark for every android device to beat until now. I'm not saying the Nexus S don't deserve the Nexus name or anything. It's just isn't worth the $529 for what it's lacking. not the dual core processor either.
[Nexus S General] haltemien:
There is a Nexus S forum now :)
[Nexus S General] highvista:
The Nexus S is a fine phone. As a developer, I'll probably get one in the next six months or so. But I am annoyed by the lack of a microSD slot and LED notifications. I have a 32GB microSD in my N1 right now and have it nearly filled with music. I also have come to depend on being able to glance across the room and see my N1's trackball flashing brightly in a color that tells me just what kind of communication my phone received.

So I'm not at all a hater of the NS, but I am sad that it drops some really nifty features. :(
[Nexus S General] Wisefire:
Amen.

I shall be getting this phone within the next 3-4 months even after my disappointment with the lack of an SD card slot, LED, and trackball.
[Nexus S General] xManMythLegend:
Ita a beautiful powerful phone.

But again I cant see why anyone would "love" it coming from N1.

Id consider it but only because Tmo seems to get cute phones instead of the big screen full featured Evos/Droid Xs of the android world.

The decision making behind the phone is just odd. People are calling it out justifiably. If this was anything but "the next google phone" its be another blip on the radar.
[Nexus S General] tardman91:
I'm not feeling it because there's no Micro SD card support, no LED notifications, and that crappy-feeling build quality. I HATE the Galaxy S line of phones because they feel cheap. I love how my N1 is made of real metal, and feels solid and has some heft to it.

Now, would I love a Nexus S? Sure. Would I want to dish out $529 for one to replace my awesome N1? No way in hell.
[Nexus S General] SoberGuy:
LOL

You're being generous, IMO.

Spot on, Wang.

Agreed.

Fine, I'll say it. The S isn't today's version of the 1, and shouldn't have received a Nexus name.

The S has some advantages over the 1. Let's all just admit that now. Wang and I are in agreement here over this point: Those advantages, to us, are minor and are not worth ditching the N1. Wang and I will be waiting to see what drops in Q1, early Q2 at the latest.

The S isn't anywhere near the "superphone" that the 1 was when it dropped. Nice? Sure. Decent specs? Sure. The N1 raised the bar SUBSTANTIALLY. The S only raises it incrementally.

My .02.
[Nexus S General] xManMythLegend:
1. AMEN...I just dont think alot of people understand just how invaluable this is. Its ridiculously easy to prioritize messages and hands down the easiest way to get notified. Plus for those that are hearing impaired its the only way to get differentiated notifications ((since obviously they cant do ring tones)). Evo/DroidX/MT4G/G2...do any of these phones have it ?

2. Thats all it is in a nutshell. You take the N2 give it hummingbird ,4" SAMOLED, the new form factor ,FF camera ,GB ,NFC we'd all be standing online for it.

But you add only a few things but take away some very important features to many ??

Three steps forward two steps back isnt a good way to make a mark.
[Nexus S General] Namuna:
The Nexus S will get love, it deserves love, but won't be getting any from me (that does NOT mean I'm a hater, just that I won't be getting one).

* As Schmidtty said, the N1 was meant to push the hardware platform, by using ahead-of-its'-time specs and it did. The Nexus S has nice specs to be sure, but it isn't running way ahead of the pack challenging others to catch-up like the N1 did. The Nexus S is the next "step", the N1 was a big "leap".

* No microSD slot? :confused: :mad:

* Funky SD/Internal/External partitioning? :confused: :mad:

Anyway, I'll be keeping my N1 until Uncle Schmidtty comes out with the Nexus Whatever that's got multi-cores, monster GPU, a 5" screen with zillion-point multi-touch and "retina" destroying image density and 16gb /system and microSD slot for whatever I want.
[Nexus S General] raeef:
I think it's logical to omit the trackpad, HTC used to say that they still have it on phones to make it easy to navigate and select text. If they already solved that ( as Google says) with the Gingerbread easy text selection and editing then the only reason to have the trackpad is to wake up the phone, at least this is the way I use it.
[Nexus S General] Paul22000:
The loss of trackball notifications has 0 effect.

Hey Paul since your one of the guys on Xda whose opinion I respect alot, what are your thoughts on the Nexus S? Do you plan on getting one?
[Nexus S General] deeren:
push hardware platform ahead of its time???? if i am not mistaken, at the time of its release, the nexus one was the third phone released with the snapdragon. first one being toshiba g01 and then the hd2. like 2 months later , the n1 came out. so i dont think this was a revolutionary step.
[Nexus S General] Eclair~:
I know he didn't mean it, but he should've said Android phones. I don't believe any Android phones were out with the Snapdragon at the time of the N1's release. I also don't believe there were any phones (Android phones) with AMOLED screens at the time.

The NS has it's contour display, NFC, and Google's support behind it.

But it isn't amazing. It doesn't blow anything out the water. Not much to "oooo, ahhh" about..
