[G2 and Desire Z General] Erikbronx:
Thank you very much for posting this thread!!!!!!

You saved me about $250! I bought my G2 last Monday the 17th, one day later this deal came out. I took back my phone today, which I bought from T-mobile Corp store. They took it back with no hassle, and when the store supervisor called TMobile to confirm the reverted changes, the supervisor told them my reason for the return...

To make a long story short, the supervisor handed me the phone and the lady on the line told me she will send out the G2 express mail (three days), I won't have to pay for shipping, or the phone at all. She did say I will only have to pay the tax however and it will be on the next bill. She couldn't do the upgrade since it was already done on Monday, but I will get a full instant credit on the phone, and not have to pay a dime other than taxes. My phone should be here by Monday/Tuesday. Thanks alot.

On the positive side the full amount I paid for the phone on Monday ($277 or so, before the rebate) has been refunded to my debit card.:D

Ups tracking says it will be here Friday 1/21 shipping from Kentucky. Hope its here sooner, can't wait.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Febby:
When did you put in your order?
[G2 and Desire Z General] DeoreDX:
I have 4 lines, two OOC, one upgraded in August to a Vibrant, and my line which was upgraded in Feb to an HD2.

All four lines are showing the G2 as free for me right now. No brainer to upgrade a line just 5 months into it's contract to a G2 for "free" aka $79 after fees and taxes with a $50 rebate.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tokinjedi:
on monday 1/17. monday or tuesday, cant quite remember. might actually get here today as it got to sac this morning and i live in tracy.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Febby:
Ahhh ok, I ordered mines yesterday but I live right above Kentucky.. 2 hours away lol, hopefully mines gets here Friday since I'm very close :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxgolf:
Mine's actually at the hub too... it actually got here into town yesterday at 5:30PM. I'm kinda irked because I know they'll sit on it an extra day, just because they can.

To T-Mo's credit though, they did send it 3 day select. I was expecting ground, which would've taken 3 more days.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shaquiel Harris:
I posted this in the espresso forum. I ordered mines Tuesday but it didn't start shipping until yesterday. but its funny at first I couldn't get it. But a tmo rep actually called me while in class and asked me a few questions. After I said what I honestly wanted to tell them, I was offered this deal. Funny though I called the same day and they said I couldn't. Mines is supposed to be here Monday I'm so sad but its in transit and all that. Honestly I hope it arrives earlier. And does the deal end tomorrow at the end of the day or once Friday comes, its done? I'm in california mines is coming from texas. I'm so excited.

Also I only had to pay 18 dollars for my Vision.
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Just got mines.!!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] crater:
Mine was delivered about 30 minutes ago. Soon as I get off I'll speed home to play with it. Good thing I threw the updated custom tune on my Challenger today, get me there fast as possible.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Alright so I just got the UPS information. It is suppose to be here tomorrow. I ordered it Tuesday night at like 10:30 PM or midnight and they just shipped it today and it's going to be here tomorrow. I can't wait! :D

I used the Standard shipping by the way, not the Express shipping.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Febby:
if you don't mind me asking what state u from and where is urs shipping from?
[G2 and Desire Z General] datajosh:
I was just about to order one but it looks like they ended it a little early :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
I'm not sure where it is shipping from but I live in Houston, Texas. It just says "United States" on 1/19 at 1:53 PM with the status of "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" then it says "Mesquite, TX, United States" at 1:05 PM with the status of "Origin Scan". It also says "Scheduled For Early Delivery On:

Friday, 01/21/2011, By End of Day" and "Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:

Monday, 01/24/2011, By End of Day" and at the top it says "1 business day left" so I'm guessing that its gonna come tomorrow because it is already in Texas.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Febby:
thanks! :D t-Mobile has a weird messed up shipping system lol! last time I was suppose to get a cell phone replacement from texas and wasn't so suppose to get here till 5 days.. came next day from texas to indiana 0_o!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Erikbronx:
The representative stated to me if you put in your cell phone number including dashes, into ups.com tracking box, all you tracking info will show. No need for the actual tracking number.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tokinjedi:
all lies! i just tried it, did not work, sir!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Erikbronx:
Hey! I'm just saying. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
hehe, this reminds me of all the threads that were created when the DZ release dates kept getting delayed. Mine should be here on Monday :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orite:
I just ordered my dad a G2, let's hope he enjoys it haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] KoolKidsKlub:
Hey guys, I just got my G2 from UPS! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shaquiel Harris:
Stupid freaking ups must be crazy or something.. last update was from the 19th saying departure scan.. hasn't updated since.. what gives.
[G2 and Desire Z General] OoTLink:
Both of the G2s I've had took 2 days to show up, weirdsauce lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DeoreDX:
Ordered mind on the 20th. Got a tracking number yesterday. Left from Kentucky. Should be here in Alabama on Monday. So two business days from when I ordered it. FWIW the web page said estimated delivery by the 29th when I first ordered. Then it was updated to the 27th on the order status pag
[G2 and Desire Z General] david279:
Ok I'm new too gsm phones ....So is the 3g symbol supposed to turn to h when only receiving data or is it always suppose to stay at h? Been using CDMA all my life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shaquiel Harris:
Do most of you guys live on the east coast? Might explain why they are playing me right now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] m4ff3w:
I ordered mine Tuesday and it showed up Friday. I'm in Texas.

So far, I'm not impressed. Reception is much worse than my G1.

:(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Erikbronx:
Just to set the record straight, it does work. Click more options, and then "Track by reference". Track using your number without the dashes. Im currently tracking my order. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shaquiel Harris:
He's right it does indeed work. My package finally arrived in ca. Will be here soon.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
They're still sending out limp **** hinges on these things.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tpayne1:
I got mine on Thursday and I can't get enough of it. I sprang for the additional shipping so I could get it before the weekend. I absolutely love it. I have no idea how I lived with that piss-poor samsung feature phone for so long.

I'm sorry if this is an over post , but I have not found a solution for this . My GF from what she told me installed androot , clockworks , and then tried to install a rom . At first it it would not boot up then I tried vol up + power it then booted up with the Cricket splash and I handed it back to her , then she rebooted it and now its in a boot loop (Kyocera over and over). I tried fastboot -w and had a hard time getting SDK to work but I got it and no luck . She lost the sd card so that out if that could of helped . She got a new phone , but I'm on a mission to fix this . Any suggestions friends ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnexus:
Well I no this is a noob question but I wanted to know if when you root your phone will you lose all of your data (apps,games,etc) and if you do will you have to download everthing again?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris6278:
Once u unlock ur bootloader it will do like a factory reset an delete everything so u may wanna backup everything to ur computer
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Just to be a bit more clear than the prior post, you will lose EVERYTHING, including the contents on the sdcard (photos, videos, etc). Mount your phone to USB storage and backup anything you care about from the internal sdcard partition.

There's precious little you can do to save/restore data that's stored on the internal ROM space until you're rooted.

By the way, this has been discussed in multiple threads already. It's probably in the FAQ stickied at the top of the forum. as well. You might get more detailed ideas/answers with a quick search.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I am learning to write different types of apps and thought I'd give back to XDA. This just starts the 2G/3G menu hidden within the Evo. Only Sense ROMs. Also works on the Incredible. I hope people find it useful.

For 2G: Open-Mode of Operation-1x Only(2G).

For 3G: Open-Mode of Operation-Hybrid.(If you don't switch back to Hybrid you will not receive texts. So don't use EVDO only.)

I'd imagine this saves battery.

As far as I know, a direct switch isn't possible. But I may be mistaken. I'll continue to toy with this later.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] a senile fungus:
Isn't this the same or similar to just leaving mobile data off?

Curious...

~ I'm a fungi
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skylar.sutton:
No, this would kill 3G coverage but still allow 2G coverage. You would still have data, it would just be significantly slower in kb/s.

I'd imagine it doesn't... and I'd imagine it actually uses more battery life. Your phone's data needs are what they are (unless you start shutting down apps that use data), but now you are using more CPU cycles to send, receive, and process that data.

For example, let's assume:

Your phone uses 1MB of data each hour for general background syncing (contacts/rss/facebook/etc.)

3G is 800 kb/s

2G is 100 kb/s (I really don't care enough to track down the actual speeds... just bear with me)

1mb = 1000kb (That's not quite accurate but good enough for now)

At 3G speeds your phone's processor wakes up, idles for 1.25 seconds while waiting for the data to download, processes the data, then goes back to sleep.

At 2G speeds your phone's processor wakes up, idles for 10.0 seconds while waiting for the data to download, processes the data, then goes back to sleep.

You can see how this becomes a big problem if you're using more than 1MB of data each hour.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luckylui:
Thanks ken!

Im always down to test new things :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Noxious Ninja:
How does this differ from what you get when you hold down the power button and then disable mobile data?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] d0cx:
oh yes, this is nice when you want to tether your EVDO signal without being interrupted by phone calls or text messages by selecting EVDO Only. yes! thanks!

btw, i used to have a Palm Pre and the dialer code was ##3836# but it never worked on the HTC EVO 4G. :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] d0cx:
simple. this does not disable data. your phone connects to two different radio signals, one providing voice, messaging and 1xRTT data, and the other one is for EVDO data only. this gives you the option to select whether the phone uses either the 1xRTT only, EVDO only, or Hybrid (as it is by default).

the main advantage is the ability to tether uninterrupted by phone calls (which disconnects the phone from the mobile Internet on incoming/outgoing calls) or text messages (when you receive text messages, the Internet, either 2G or 3G, stalls for a few seconds and could break downloads) by selecting the EVDO only option.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] d0cx:
no. read my previous quote.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] luckylui:
+1+1 brotha i like the way u think lol

Great minds think alike :)

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
d0cx, there's another way to tether uninterrupted.

Menu-Settings-Call-DDTM Mode.

This will send all calls to VM if there is data being transferred.

I use it when I don't want to be interrupted. A side-effect is no texts being received though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] d0cx:
i used that too as well. but as far as i could recall, i could still receive texts with the DDTM Mode.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
But aren't you just thinking of data transfer time? You aren't thinking about how using a 2G network uses a lot less juice than the 3G network over a longer period. I know on GSM networks using a 2G connection will save a lot of battery. Yes, it will take more time to sync while it is in your pocket, but not enough to matter I would think. If the phone is syncing 1mb files all the time, something might be wrong. ;) I wouldn't sit around with it on 2G while trying to download a MP3 or a stream video. It should mainly be syncing emails/RSS feeds, which are small files. Well, I say small, but some of you may have 100 feeds. :D

I guess battery consumption using a 2G network is very much debatable unless someone wants to run some tests. Even then, it is how the user uses his phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
Maybe no one likes me and never sends me texts while I'm using it. I was using DDTM mode last week and after a couple of hours I realized I had not gotten one text the whole time... I sent myself one and didn't get it till I turned off DDTM mode. So, that's all I'm basing that off of. It may just have been that day, ya know?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EliWay:
CDMA is a totally different beast than GSM. 1xRTT actually uses more raw power per bit than EV-DO.

On GSM, Edge/GPRS will only save more battery than 3G over a long period if you're downloading small amounts of data like push notifications, light email and using IM. Unfortunately, doing the same thing on 1xRTT would use more battery.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] notasimpleway:
I was afraid they would be different. Can someone tell me what are the benefits of CDMA again? ;P

[Fascinate General] kcasner:
So under black tape behind the battery cover, there are external ports called "R2" "G" and "R1". I found that the plugs are compatible with a Samsung A717.

While researching, I found the ports are compatible with plugs for the Samsung A717 and can be found HERE.

My thoughts were, to build a home made signal antenna/booster similiar to THIS.

There is very little info that I could find on this, so I thought i'd reach out to the community to see if anyone knows what port is for an external antenna... and also, if anyone know of a better homemade signal booster/amplifier setup?
[Fascinate General] Jrex:
I didn't even know that those ports where there... That's awesome! I know this comment doesn't help but I had to say something! :cool:
[Fascinate General] kcasner:
lol, that's cool. I just found out about them myself.
[Fascinate General] the entity:
I knew about the ports . For the heck of it I tried an external antenna that I had from my omnia. Great signal boost, but seemed to ruin the antenna. Use caution.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
Can you give some more information on this? The external antennae did work, gave a signal boost, but then was ruined and presumably stopped working?

My house seems to be located in a Bermuda Triangle within Verizon's network, and I'd love to find a way to boost my signal strength short of dropping $250 on a network extender and sending my calls (and everyone else's within range) over my internet connection for free, for Verizon.
[Fascinate General] Domush:
Slightly off topic, but I wanted to insert a bit of reality into the network extender wish.

Put simply, it's worthless. I got one for FREE and still returned it. It goes offline for hours at a time and, when synched, only works for about a 15ft radius, if that.

That said, if you want one for free, file a compliant with the FCC about the poor call quality and signal strength and you'll likely be offered one for free as well.

Good luck, either way.

[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Just to throw in my two cents' worth, extenders are not always worthless, though quality may vary. At the last place I worked, my department got moved into the basement of one of the buildings, where you were lucky to get one bar of service on our company cell phones, which were through Sprint. That was unacceptable, so the company had somebody from Sprint mount an antenna on the roof and run a wire from there down to a repeater box that was mounted on the ceiling of the basement level. After that, we got full bars on all our phones in the basement. Of course then everybody else hated us, since the breakroom was down there, and before that they usually wouldnt get interrupted by cell phone calls while at lunch, due to the poor signal. :D

Extenders work just fine, providing you don't get a cheap junk one, and providing there's even a good signal for it to extend in the first place.

Posted from my DL09 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo
[Fascinate General] Domush:
The one you had access to isn't how the Verizon extender works. The Verizon one works similar to a Wi-Fi router, not as a repeater. It literally becomes a cell tower, just at such a low wattage it doesn't penetrate anything. It also doesn't repeat to a tower, it connects via your home inet connection to Verizon's exchange, so you get lag twice. If you read the manual for it, it tells you it won't work outside 15ft. Verizon just doesn't advertise that on the advertisements (or the box).
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Ah, I didn't realize they had a device like that. Sounds like basically a poor man's cell tower. Too bad it doesn't work for you.

[Fascinate General] sageDieu:
At my school system we have some offices and stuff in the district that get really bad service, mostly just because they're in layers of thick concrete and steel. We've been installing some really nice extenders in some of the worse ones, they're very expensive (like $600 a pop) but they do a great job.

OT, what did the poster mean about it ruining his antenna? I'm confused.
[Fascinate General] harpdoc:
I live in the mountains outside Verizon range. The stock Verizon network extender works fine in our 2 story house.
[Fascinate General] the entity:
I used an external antenna - same one http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-SGH-A74...enna-adapter-/260710050385?pt=PDA_Accessories

It plugged in without a problem and gave a great signal boost, but i suspect that the inner pin on the adapter was too wide for the fascinate and once the plug was removed, I was lucky to be able to make a call at all without the use of the antenna. I replaced my phone under warranty saying that gps was messed up.

If you look hard enough, you may be able to find a suitable adapter designed for the Fascinate.
