[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GOTFrogqc:
Bell And Telus uses 850 and 1900, Videotron uses the other band, not sure about the other carriers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmanaudio:
You will not be able to get 3G in Canada...only EDGE which is 2G data. Phone part will work...just no 3G or 3g+..only 2G.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minisurfeur17:
Are you sure ? I just went to a bell store to try a sim there and the phone was showing hsdpa icon...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GOTFrogqc:
If you have thehsdpa icon then you are good, you might have issues some places if you dint have the 850 band but around town you should have the 1900 band pretty much everywhere. Since most ROM for this phone come with the 1900 band you should be good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
You will have limited HSDPA coverage with Bell/Telus/Rogers on the 1900 MHz band. Mostly in the cities. In rural areas, they tend to use 850 MHz instead, which your phone doesn't support. If you are with Rogers/Fido, your phone would fall back to GSM/EDGE, but not with Telus/Bell.

But you get no warranty, as any of these company could turn off any of their 1900 MHz tower any day and replace it with a 850 MHz one. That's why all their phones support both frequencies.

With Videotron, you would have no HSDPA at all and always roam on Rogers' EDGE network (Videotron have an agreement with Rogers). So I would avoid this.

You can always check this map:

http://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html

I don't know if it is reliable but maybe you can see which towers are 850 MHz.

By looking at this map, Bell seems to be 1900 MHz only in Montreal. However if you plan to travel outside of Montreal a bit, Rogers/Fido might be your best bet.

Also remember that Rogers=Fido, Bell=Virgin Mobile and Telus=Koodo

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorxd:
yeah but it doesn't tell you if it is 850 or 1900 MHz (or both)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
can't you just flash the modem from JL2 and run on 850hz or it's hardware limited?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmanaudio:
My friend is a engineer at BELL who helped design the new HSPA+ system...he told me first it connects at 1900 and then pushes you to 850 for data. 1900 will work at times but only in certain area and if the load is low on it. Basically 99% get pushed to 850.

I have tried only 1900 many times...it works but very slow..EDGE slow speed. So yes like I said...but you will be getting edge speed...do a speed test and you will see. Icon's dont mean anything!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minisurfeur17:
I went with Virgin Mobile and so far it's working like a charm. I'm getting hsdpa and a speedtest showed 4.5Mb in dl and 400kbps in upload

I've been using the phone for one day around Montréal and i always had hsdpa coverage. I'll see if I'm not getting network sometimes but since I'm gonna stay a lot in Montréal I feel it's really what I needed.

Many Thanks for your answers, that was really helpful :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebtek220:
I've been having issues loading pagegs with the XDA-Developers app when I use it via wifi. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't. I'll get an error message that states "no route to host". If I open my browser I can access the web, but the app will only work again if I turn wifi off and then it on again. This will correct the issue for only a short while. I have no issue using the app via a 3g connection. Does anybody else have this issue with your hero using the app?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
I haven't been having an issue with using it on wifi. Do you have any issues navigating to the xda forums in your browser?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PMGRANDS:
Same Issue Here Guys!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
I get that error if I lose my wifi signal. It does not switch to 3G instantly. I usually just tap the wifi off and back on from my notification powerbar (or just off if I think I'm too far from my router). Wait a couple seconds and menu > refresh xda app.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebtek220:
No, xda-developers website works fine over wifi via the browser. I'm not sure what it really is. It could be a signal issue, but that doesn't explain why I can access data via the browser. Confusing... very confusing...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckc:
can anyone tell how install infoalarm on firefly rom. Thank you
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
You don't "install" it you just need to copy it to /system/app with root explorer, super manager, another file manager with root access, or using adb commands.

A reboot may be necessary as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thumper3322:
I got the file (infoalarm.apk) tried moving it over to /system/app dir, but root explorer will not do this. I have downloaded 'Terminal Emulator' but I can not find the proper commands to do it correctly. Any help please?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
In the top right corner of root explorer there is a button that says "mount r/w" press that BEFORE you paste.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thumper3322:
I tried that... selected copy file, go back to click 'mount r/w' then go into system/app and select paste. A window pops up and disappears under a second.

The top window in the systems/app says... 218.5 mb used, 57.32mb free, r/w 'Mount R/O' (button). Nothing happens when I tap on it.

Why wouldn't that be working? What about thru TE?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Did you allow root explorer, superuser access? If you didn't that button wouldn't work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thumper3322:
ya every time I go into it, it has the pop up screen on the bottom saying superuser access, and in su it logs root explorer with su access. When I click 'Mount R/W' (on the first screen) it does change, so the button now reads 'Mount R/O', but after coping and pasting nothing happens.

AS for TE I'm getting the error I have read else where.

SU

# mount -o rw,-remount /system (enter)

I get (Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

#)

This is firefly ROM, not making sense?

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Trying to restore it right now via titanium back up, APP only and it is just sitting here running, doubt it will work, but was worth a shot. Still running.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thumper3322:
Well I had to use 'Super Manager' from the market. Before going into /system it asks you if you want to RW, click yes and then you can copy and paste the infoalarm.apk into /system/app. Reboot and the app is there. Hurray! However it doesn't have the widget/screen that is on 2.1, but still works when you go in.

Weird why root explorer didn't work... oh well!

Meizu is a good example of how a KIRFer can learn and then move up the value proposition.

[EVO Shift 4G General] saw429:
I just got a new contract with Sprint yesterday before the all smart phones became a extra $10 a month, so we got the intercept to save 20 a month.

That being said I was really wanted the Evo Shifts and could go back and get them.

I like the fact that I'm saving $240 a year for me and my wife.

So people sell me on why i should get the Shift and spend the extra $20 a month compared to the Intercept...
[EVO Shift 4G General] Scaryghoul:
Well it depends on what you want. I'm rather biased when it comes to samsung devices since I've had a bad experience using them, the development support isn't very large for most phones(The epic is still on 2.1 iirc). The hardware isn't very good on the intercept compared to the shift. I think the intercept has the same processor as the moment clocked @ 800Mhz, which is overclocked stock although it's architecture is different than the shift, the shift is bound to run MUCH MUCH faster than the intercept.

Xda/Htc phones are known for their active development and the ability to recieve updates at a reasonable time.

I'm pretty sure the shift will beat down the intercept in every way shape, and form.

If you just want to make calls, then go with the intercept and don't get a powerful great device like the shift. If you want to(which I'm sure you do since you're on xda in the first place) get one of the best phone experiences with some of the finest dev teams around, go with the shift.

Opinions out of the way.

1. Processors

The intercept uses an arm11 v6 800MHz stock overclocked processor(Samsung shipped the S3C6410 out as 667MHz but sprint overclocked it, likely to compete with the hero), so overclocking it more will make it buggy.

The shift uses a "Qualcomm MSM7630, 800 MHz, Sequans SQN 1210 (for WiMAX)" processor. I don't know much about the actual technical details of this processor but I do know that it is of a different architecture and is a second generation snapdragon processor. It is very fast. It is the same processor as the one in the G2 and the G2 can currently be overclocked to 1.9GHz.

2. Screens

The evo shift is sporting a capacitive 3.6Inch display(Nothing fancy about the display, as in AMOLED/OLED/HD, none of that) and supports multi-touch. Resolution 480x800, so it's going to look very crisp with the same resolution as the evo on a smaller display.

The samsung intercept is using a similar display, I don't think it has anything fancy looking through some specs(I own a similar device but the samsung moment has an AMOLED display, I don't know if the intercept has this too). It is 3.2Inches in size, and stuffed with a 240 x 400 resolution. Specs say it supports multi-touch.

3. Cameras

The shift has a 5MP back facing camera and can shoot at 720p@30FPS(Specs reportedly)

The intercept has a 3.2MP back facing camera. Unsure on the video capture resolution/speed.

4. Dev support

Same as my opinion above, the shift will get development for a year or two at LEAST, I think the intercept will die down within the year.

5. RAM

Intercept has 256MB of ram.(Both phones 'free' command reports lower though)

Shift has 512MB of ram.

6. Benchmarks.

Quadrant:

Shift - 1429(Reports of stock hitting just under 1600)

Intercept - ?(My moment only ever hit ~600 when running cm6 alpha with ext2, normally with root/custom rom/kernel/ect. hits around 300(4XX with ext2))

Smartbench:(Productivity/games respectively)

Shift - 832/1240

Intercept - ?(My moment never finished it)

Linpack:

Shift - 33-34

Intercept - ?(My moment hits ~9.2 once rooted/jit/custom rom)
[EVO Shift 4G General] oboroninja:
The Samsung Intercept is a POS. Seriously. I work for a Sprint Corporate store and we have nothing but problems with them, and Samsung Moments. Save yourself the hassel..

powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Go on Sprint's site and read the user reviews of both phones. If that doesn't clarify things then I don't know what will.

If you want to stay with an inexpensive smartphone, the optimus s is getting good reviews.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Quis89:
Getting the Intercept over the Shift might have been the worst decision ever.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
samsungs service and products are lacking. they dont update anything and they sell faulty products. do yourself a favor and buy anything but a samsung. i owned a moment and it is a POS. and if the phone dont work out of the box are your really saving anything?
[EVO Shift 4G General] n3x1s:
I agree - If you want a *cheap* Android phone, the Optimus S is the way to go. I've never really been a fan of LG phones, but this one beats anything that Samsung can come up with. Myself, like the OP, have had nothing but bad experiences with Samsung smartphones. They make good TVs, Monitors, and BluRay players, but thats as far as I'm prepared to go with Samsung. I will NEVER follow them into the smartphone market again. I dont care how good the reviews are for a Samsung phone, after the Samsung Moment, I'll never trust them again. Thats just me though!!

HTC on the other hand . . . These guys know how to make a phone. I can really only speak to the EVO, Droid Incredible, and Hero. IMHO they are making the absolute best Android phones out there. (Maybe aside from the Nexus phones, but I've never owned one.)

Now that the Shift has permroot - My wife will be throwing her Moment out the window at 70MPH. :D I cant wait to see that!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
The Intercept is just a Moment, right? If so, I recommend staying far, far away.
[EVO Shift 4G General] foxsdaddy67:
The intercept is a dumbed down moment with all the same problems.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lgmayka:
This would have been my suggestion. Or if you absolutely need a physical keyboard and don't want the $10/month surcharge, the Transform (which is down to $79 at Best Buy).
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
The Transform is a good phone, for a Samsung. I bought it for my step-son and he has yet to have any issues with it, and rather likes it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
As a Moment owner I'm biased. Don't get a Samsung.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] wardfan220:
Yeah, my wife had the Moment and because of that pos I refuse to buy one for myself. But the Transform seems ok.

[Desire Themes and Apps] _nibbler:
Question is if there is any official 2.3 at all...the mobile isn't the newest one ^^
[Desire Themes and Apps] mikeandjaimie:
they have pretty much said there will be an official gingerbread for desire... HOWEVER, our phone unfortunately wont be on the top of the priority list, as you said, because its relatively "older" incomparison.. plus.. add to the delay the fact it has to filter down to our providers so they can make THIER changes, and then it will be officially released..

To OP: So in short... not anytime soon.. Try out CM7 Nightlies.. they are damn stable and you can really replicate most of sense with a custom launcher (LPPro has great replacements to most of the sense widgets)

I just got this wonderful email from Notion Ink and now will be contacting my Credit Card company to cancel my order! I am also relatively sure a lot of people got the same email who was in the 29th batch (I was originally suppose to be in the 9th batch then got bumped to the 15-22, then got bumped to the 29th batch).

"Dear XXX

Greetings from Notion Ink!

We understand that you have been eagerly waiting for the arrival of your Adam. However, we regret to inform you that a fraction of our touch-screens got damaged during transportation due to which your shipment has been effected.

The Chinese New Year holidays that are in the first week of February further add to the delay. However, our touchscreen partner, Sintek, have agreed to work through the holidays and deliver the screens as soon as possible. We are afraid that until we receive these touchscreens, your device would not be ready for shipment.

The estimated date of your shipment would be 14th February 2011 (Buffer included).

In case you need any further assistance, please contact the Notion Ink Support Team at support@notionink.com.

We thank you for your continued patience and co-operation in this matter.
