[EVO 4G General] hannsz:
I don't know where I'm going. I need an unlimited data plan with AT&T.

I'm 30 miles from downtown Chicago and I get a maximum 500kbps on Sprint...and that assumes 4 bars of 3G (-80dB) and off peak hours. The PRL hack using any of the 4 I've tried gives me 115kbps down maximum.

My roommate allows me to tether to his iPhone when I actually need to download stuff because he has a steady 3+mbps on the nations worst carrier. Not to mention when we work together he has signal while I don't. We work in school buildings and I need to get close to a door to get a faint signal to receive text messages, while he can be in the server room in the middle of the building and have signal.

I have one of the best phones on the market.

I can't stream a youtube video.

I can't download email attachments of screenshots from my users.

I can't remote in through RDP to do any server management.

Just bums me out a little. I'll probably see everyone elses 4G here before Wimax as well.
[EVO 4G General] superm3:
I'm not going anywhere..sprint saves me 30 dollars a mnth that's $360 a yr. now that's a slickdeals. att and verizon are gold digging *****es.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
but do they black list esn for that phone?
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Is T-Mobile worth it?
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
I say this time and time again, if Verizon didnt charge what they charge then they wouldnt be able to maintain the best network in the US by far. That's how the world works. Sprint has saved me money but as a trade off I have to accept having worst coverage, slower data and no 4G even though im in a 4G city. And with the plan im switching to on Verizon with unlimited data im still going to only be paying $15 a month more than I pay on Sprint. The tradeoff just isnt worth it to me anymore.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Amen. And even though I have 4G everywhere I go, it's of no use to me unless I'm tethering. It rapes your battery and requires you to reboot your phone when you're done because of that stupid bug HTC won't fix. Not switching to Verizon though because like you said they're too expensive.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
The thing that gets me is, people act like Verizon is going to cost you a million dollars a year more than Sprint. If you factor in the $10 fee for all smart phones on Sprint you REALLY arent paying hardly much more on Verizon at all.

http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2011/02...eed:+rss/magazines_fortune+(Fortune+Magazine)

So on average you're spending what, $10 more a month? I dont knock anyone else but for the extras I get its well worth the switch to me. *shrug* The way I see it Tmobile is even cheaper than Sprint, but not many people want to switch because of what you lose (mostly in terms of coverage depending on the area). Well, thats pretty much the same tradeoff from Verizon to Sprint. It is what it is. Not to mention if you have an Android phone you can use GV solely for texts and chop the price even lower. Sometimes people dont think.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
idk... from what info i found on LTE... you will be sorry. and crawling back to sprint and wimax
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Why are you posting this, it isn't even updated. Im assuming anyone going to vrz would be getting one of their newer phones, so this in no way reflects pricing for their 4G LTE. What you are missing is the fact that there will be an additional charge for that, and also you will have to pay for premium services like youtube and other apps like that in order to use them. So regardless you can't compare pricing until they actually tell you what the pricing is, but IT WILL BE MUCH HIGHER than im paying on sprint and at the end of the day thats ALL that matters to me.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Well I can pretty much confirm you're wrong on that already. Simply put, wimax doesnt work inside of my house even though i'm in a "building penetrating signal area." LTE, works inside of my house and not once did it drop below 8 megs. Even HSPA+ works inside of my house. I couldnt care less what the coverage is like downtown, that doesnt benefit me. I'm not keeping it on while im out and about anyways because it kills the battery quick. That was the whole point of me wanting a 4G phone because the most practical place for me to use it was at home... not as I ride around.

And trust, ive been on pretty much every carrier.. I doubt if ill miss Sprint much.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Question.....how would you know LTE works inside of your house and you don't have an LTE phone to test it with?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
LTE Modems are out.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Umm... these prices match the prices ON Verizon's own website. And they DO NOT charge for youtube lol. Dude go sit down somewhere. And even if they do charge extra for 4G would I feel better about paying for a service I can actually use... or getting wimax for free when it doesnt work inside unless im close to a tower? It is NOT "much higher" but if thats what you need to make yourself feel better about being cheap then thats on you. BTW I dont remember asking or caring what matters to you. Im simply pointing out the obvious, price was really the only major selling point Sprint had going for itself and that really isnt even an issue anymore with Verizon's new pricing. Simply put.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Thank you. I've posted this like 10 times already lol. He thought he was about to prove me wrong but LTE cards have been out for quite some time now.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
But then again all of Verizon's speed tests have been done an empty network. So their numbers don't count for ****. Also if you go to their official LTE subsite, they say the peak data rates are about the same as WiMax (5-12 Mbps). Here's a SpeedTest screen using WiMax on my Evo from inside my house:
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
http://androidforums.com/sprint/272829-lte-vs-wimax-charges-control-data.html

I for one... hope that info in that link.. is wrong!!! but .... you make your own conclusions.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
What do wimax speeds mean to me when the signal cant penetrate my front door? I mean sure its nice.. if im standing outside.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Again, no matter if wimax is free.. no matter if its 100 megs down, if it doesnt work inside of my house it means nothing to me. Whether I get 7 megs on LTE or 5 megs or 20 megs, the key here is... I get a signal inside.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
You're right. That's why there's Wifi.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Or why I can just use a carrier that.. if im going to be paying for their service, I can actually utilize it when I need to. I thought that was the purpose of paying for services but hey I could be wrong. Especially when 4G was what they used to hype the phone to begin with. Sprint works for some, doesnt work so well for others. And considering im in a metro area with almost 6 million people..well.. I would think it would be better than what it is. So with that said, for me LTE it is.:D

And the interesting thing about the whole "empty network" logic is how much faster Verizon's 3G speeds are here twice over twice the amount of customers on the network. Sprint is a value carrier and I get that.. im just not getting much value from them anymore.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I live in Brooklyn, NYC. I go to college in Manhattan. So I'm telling you WiMax is fine. My data speed with Sprint on average now is 1.5 Mbps down, 800 kbps up after removing the proxies from EPST on my Evo:

Also, if you're paying for home internet, why wouldn't you use it? Especially if you have Fios or a fast cable or DSL connection? And Wifi uses less power than 3G or 4G on a phone.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
ok brownie...

Verizon has a bunch of great phones lined up. :)

let us know which you plan to pick up
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
I agree that would suck. It's not like a single wall stops it dead for everyone though. Some of you act like wimax couldn't work in a treehouse with no walls.

I get 8-10megs in my house.
[EVO 4G General] PokeAsheep:
If I had to, t-mob. But really... I don't want to. Service is fine, prices fine, nice phone (epic) ...but they are behind the curve and have a ****-tastic reputation for phone support

[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Ive already preordered the Thunderbolt actually.. and will probably buy an iphone and at some point the Bionic as well.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Now it makes sense... you just so happen to be in the area with the most densely placed clear towers and Sprint towers than anywhere else. I guess what you fail to realize is that that isnt typical for most places. Yea im sure you do get wimax inside when there's a clear tower on top of nearly every building in NYC.

And I do use my home internet, the point is if im paying for something I WANT to be able to use it. Period. With wimax, thats not an option. When im out on the go I dont even want to use it because 1) Its a battery drain 2) Every time I turn it on and turn it off I have to reboot the phone because of the wimax bug that constantly keeps trying to reconnect. Hell honestly at home is the only place its really even practical for me. Plus the most useful thing i'd use it for on the go is uploading random videos to youtube... only the uploads are capped at 1 meg so it still takes forever.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
wow... and you use all these yourself? or there are others on your plan?

I am jealous if they are all going to be yours.

but I am pretty content with my EVO. waiting for real evo replacement.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
LOL... yea I will use them all myself. I cant lie im a super tech freak.. the only thing I havent really gotten into so far is the tablets. But phone wise, when I was on tmobile I had an iphone 3GS, a touch pro 2 and an N97. I just switched them out periodically when I got bored with one.

Same when I was first on Sprint. I had a touch pro 2, a hero and a blackberry. I rarely ever keep phones long before I get bored with them thats my biggest gripe with Sprint. I specifically bought my Evo cash day 1 and saved my upgrade just to see what would come out later. But.... nothing ever came..unless you count the epic and i'm not the biggest fans of sliders after the touch pros.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
Now .. I know why... cost of service is not important to you.... lucky bastard!!! :D :p

4. what are tricks for Vibrant ( some # codes etc.)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] offdutyninja808:
1- wipe before flashing should cure that.

2- lbstestmode... download SGS tools from market. Open and click secret codes.

3- simply that. They are all different modems. JI6 is 2.1. JL5 is from a 2.2 build. Go to Android dev section and Scrizz has a thread on modems. See which works best for you. Results vary for most.

4- see number 2. *DON'T UPGRADE TOUCHSCREEN FIRMWARE*

Look on the lower right side of the screenshot. It's SGS tools. In the app there is a "secret codes" menu that lets you pick all the dial pad codes.

any reason for using this kernel? tun.ko is included in decad3nce's kernels.

kernel source can be obtained from HTC if you don't want to take the easy way and use decad3nce's kernel.

I tried decad3nce's kernel and the battery mod in the same thread and the tun driver worked fine. However, I felt I liked the instant screen wake up of the ZenKernel. And the battery lives of both kernels seem to be almost the same. So I went ahead and grabbed the source and compiled the tun.ko. Tested working fine and attached in case anyone needs it.

Hi guys, I know some launchers have the ability to sort apps/games into groups like ADW Launcher EX.

I was just wondering if there is a launcher/app that will pop up upon installation of a new app/game and ask what group you want to place it in?

I really like ADW but its just a ball-ache trying to keep track of things I install and make sure I haven't forgot to sort something, it would be cool if something asked after installation.

Has anybody come across a launcher/app that can do this?

Thanks guys but found exactly what I was looking for.. "Auto App Organizer"

Its awesome, been looking for a app like this since first getting Android. It will automatically scan all your installed apps and categorize them and will also watch for new installed. You can then create shortcuts to the categories on home and they will act like folders.

The app is free but I paid for the full version (no banner). tbh the banner wasnt really annoying or anything, I simply wanted to show appreciation.

I would REALLY recommend this app to anybody.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
I'm stuck at a nearly 99% brick :( I think...

I've got an AMOLED Desire from T-Mobile Germany (still branded), with HBOOT 0.80.0000, rooted via Unrevoked and still S-ON.

The phone gets stuck during the boot process when the provider-splashscreen (or HTC-Logo) is shown at the beginning. Only pulling out the battery will shut the phone down.

The same happens when I try to get into Recovery via HBOOT. The only option is to pull the battery.

If I connect the phone via USB and enter Fastboot it is recognized by the computer with the command "fastboot devices".

I can't use ADB, because I can't access the recovery.

I downloaded the right RUU for my provider/amoled/hboot 0.80.0000 Desire (RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4. 06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed) and extracted the ROM.zip from the installer. I renamed the file to PB99IMG.zip and manually moved it to the SDcard using my computer.

But, when I enter HBOOT the file is recognized and extracted, but then it fails :( ...due to an "incorrect CID".

The same happens if I manually execute the RUU....exe under Windows with my phone plugged in via USB. (It's error code 131 in the flash program of the RUU....exe).

A very helpful user (cargo) of a german Android forum (www.android-hilfe.de - link to his posting) assumed that my HBOOT is not correctly displayed and I might have a "newer" one than 0.80.0000

This leaves me quite without any option than to flash HTC RUU 2.29.405.5, which brings HBOOT 0.93.0001...(but I may be able to downgrade again.)

But this flash process is only possible if I have a Goldcard, which I actually don't have at the moment :( :(

Is there any way to create a Goldcard for my device in my actual position (only fastboot working, no boot to run the system, no adb working, no recovery access)? :o

Every howto explaining the goldcard crating process requires either working adb or even a running system for apps like "goldcard helper" or being able to use "terminal emulator" :(

I would be very very thankful for every bit of help :)

Maybe there is some way :D

Thanks in advance guys!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
I believe that goldcards are specific to the card and not the phone(read it somewere on here) so it should be possible to make one without using your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
As far as I know you need the phone for your goldcard. At least it was said in the tutorial I was following a few months back. You need to connect the phone to get the serial number (through ADB shell) which you will need to hex-reverse and put it on your SD card image.

To be honest, they are more sophisticated methods now (as I read) creating a goldcard, but since unrEVOked, i do not follow that part. :)

And by the way, why don't you flash the HTC RUU 2.29.405.5? 0.93 HBOOT can be downgraded. But with the latest tools you can S-Off, root & whatever with that HBOOT, too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaboleo:
I just tried flashing the HTC RUU 2.29.405.5 with the PB99IMG-method.

But I get an error "CID incorrect" :(

I treid to execute the HTC RUU.exe and I get again error code 131...which means something like "user-ID error" :(

But I could grab a screenshot of the actual "version" of the RUU...or what is this?

Thanks guys :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
