[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
Op I was ranting about the same thing to myself the other day. I seen a speed test for a phone on t-mobile gsm network and was amazed it was getting 3mbps average on the 3g network. So, I did a little bit of research after that outrageous video because I can barely hit 1 mbps on a good day on sprint 3g. Gsm is a faster more complex 3g network compared to cdma. But, when it comes to 4g I found an interesting article.

http://www.computerworld.com/s/arti...E_vs._Sprint_WiMax?taxonomyId=79&pageNumber=1

This guy in the article recorded a peak download speed of 11.2Mbit/sec., with an average of 4.1Mbit/sec with wimax in different area's on NY and NJ I think while he was getting an astoundingly fast peak download speed of 26.1Mbit/sec., with an average of 13.3Mbit/sec. on Verizon's LTE!! WTF!

Technically, Wimax gets a higher theoretical max speed of around 128mbps while LTE gets 100. LTE seems alot faster, @ least in the NY market. HSPA + is not 4g on a technical standpoint. It is capable of fast speeds but it's based on gsm 3g technology. Basically hspa+ is the last evolution for 3g network.

Honestly it's 5:30am right now and i forgot my point I'm trying to make. Fatigued. Anyways when I wake up I'll edit my post and put a point. But, check out that article. ;p
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Great post man, thank you, very informative indeed.
[EVO 4G General] nivron:
In Orlando, not peak times, I can get about 1500kbps on 3G but haven't ever gotten over

5000kbps on 4G using either Sense or CM. I'm on Vineland right by Universal/I4. I'd like to see where other Orlando folks are getting those fantastic speeds. I use Tampa/Macclenny/Atlanta servers with similar results.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
yes.. LTE is faster right now... and looks great!

but looks can decieving ...

here is what I have found:

LTE is a carriers wetdream.. and our nightmare!
[EVO 4G General] Justin.G11:
Written by someone who doesn't understand the osi model or how networks work. ANY network can be about controlled data, regardless of the low layer session and framing layers. ACLs with a little intelligent packet filtering and wimax could be the same boat in a weekend of effort.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Wow didn't know that, I read the whole link dude, screw that man
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
you right about one thing.. I dont know about everything...

but with anything on computers.. anything is possible.. Apple can make a phone that brainwashes you to think it does all things and first ...

but there is a lot of info form others that know...

and confirm what the LTE is designed to do. and WiMax is open...

thanks for you input and great opinion...
[EVO 4G General] jeremyritzmann:
ATT is going with an LTE system from what I heard. I have t-mobile and have a constant 8mb down. With Sprint I NEVER got above 1mb down. Also explain to me how HSPA+ is not. A real 4g model.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
dont it make you feel better about WiMax?

just hope it can improve the speed...and coverage
[EVO 4G General] JT man:
When did you guys got wimax?
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
^^^ look again.. it is not wimax!
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Its not that they couldn't. It is not allowed if you are using wimax...
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
4g stands for 4th generation. Meaning the 4th generation wireless technology. Wimax and LTE require new hardware since they are new tech. HSPA+ is just an extension of the 3g tech. Basically they took their 3rd generation hardware and fed it jet fuel. What's cool about HSPA+ is that the upgraded towers will increase the speed of the normal HSPA users. I'm not saying it's not a 4g model but all they did was take 3rd generation **** and fed it jet fuel while the other 4g tech wimax and LTE are totally new 4th generation tech. ATT is going to LTE eventually but right now they are also doing HSPA+. The reason T-mobile the 4th largest cell carrier is promoting HSPA+ so hard is because they don't have the money the other 3 carriers have to buy more spectrum. So they had to improvise and improve the spectrum they already have.

[EVO 4G General] knivesout:
AT&T and T-Mobile are lying on television, and that's all there is to it. Quite frustrating, knowing the investment other carriers have made in their REAL 4G networks.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
yes, yes they are. their way i think is better though... faster speeds, same amount of battery... but in the long run it could be negative for them. (they will be behind in 4g setup and coverage.)
[EVO 4G General] dzuchowski:
history repeats itself again with tmobile... they were behind the times with 3g they were the last to the party and now they are the last to 4g as well... hspda+ is not 4g.... that is like saying your mustang gt is a GT-500....
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
not sure exactly what you meant. I was agreeing that what they have isn't 4g.

Probably part of the reason they are number 4... ;)
[EVO 4G General] r916:
my buddies g2 did 12mbps while mine did 13mbps, so yes it's not true 4g but it's still fast as ****.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
Right now sprints 4g is being reigned in by them only using 10 MHz of the spectrum, if clear where to open it up to say 20MHz things would really start moving. It would be even nicer if they started using the 800MHz band as well so it would be as reliable as every other cell connection.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
Would this increase 3g/4g speeds and voice clarity as well for cdma?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
I have been overseas with an AT&T Blackberry world phone. When you boot up a phone overseas, it will piggy back onto whatever compatible GSM network is in the area. But keep in mind, you will get charged out the @ass with intl roaming and dialing. It may be a good idea to call up at&t to get on board with an intl plan depending on how long she will be over there. Once you establish a network connection, you should be able to make phone calls, text, and surf the web, should the local network have internet access. At minimal, you will be able to talk and text.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ua549:
I travel to Europe frequently. I purchase a prepaid sim card for each country. They are good for a year. I buy/recharge them there since they cost half of what they do when purchased in the USA. The advantage is having a country local number with no roaming or LD charges for local calls. Even calling back to North America is less expensive than roaming on AT&T. The handset must not be sim locked. Check it by dialing *#7465625#.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cavsoldier19d:
I've done this too. But it all depends on how long and how frequent the person will be over there. If she's going just for a two week vacation...getting the phone unlocked and putting in a sim card from a local carrier wouldn't be the way to go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnakeHaveYou:
Captivate is Quad-band GSM (That's "World Phone").. But only Tri-band WCDMA, so no 3G/HSPA in Europe

I think you must put in your internal SDCard a couple of modems, from Europe i9000 900/1700mhz WCDMA, and American 850/1900MHz WCDMA..

When you're in a 900/1700Mhz country, flash with CWM the Europe's modem..

And, in USA, flash the 850/1900MHz modem..

All this, to avoid issues..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
If you're going to just use your AT&T SIM card, internation roaming is like $2+/m for voice, $1 per SMS and data is pay per use. So basically, you need a bag of money to support it. Even if you sign up international roaming plan, it has plenty of caveat you need to know (you have to pay at least a month before hand etc.).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
The Captivate is quad-band GSM and quad-band UTMS. The hardware is limited to GSM850/900/1800/1900 and UMTS 850/900/1900/2100. The Captivate will never do 1700MHz no matter what modem firmware you install on it. Luckily, since most of Europe uses 900Mhz or 2100Mhz for UMTS (3G) anyone who takes a Captivate to Europe should be all set. T-Mobile USA and a few Canadian carriers are the only ones I know of using 1700Mhz.

If you are going to reply to a thread like this, at least look up your data and make sure it is accurate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Make sure that your girlfriend either uses prepaid SIM cards (then you need to make sure your phone is unlocked first) or you call AT&T and sign up for an international roaming plan & allow international calling on your phone. Without an international plan you will be charged higher rates for her to any phone numbers. Without international calling, she will be unable to dial any numbers except for US numbers. You can cancel the international plan at any time (so you can only pay for an international plan for 1 month instead of the rest of your contract).

Even with an international plan, calling will be very expensive, make sure you are aware of the rates. Also make sure that your girlfriend knows how to make calls, AT&T should explain it to you when you sign up for international. For example, to dial back to the US, she will have to dial 1+ the 10 digit number.

If she can find free wifi hotspots, you can also install a SIP/VoIP application such as Skype, Fring or Nimbuzz which have much cheaper rates. Applications such as these allow for free calling to another Skype/Fring/Numbuzz user and low rates to physical phone numbers (sometimes as low as $.01 per minute).

edit: Oops, I almost forgot, skype only works on Galaxy S phones if you are running Froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxbat121:
Wrong. Dial '+1' then area code and phone numbers. Although 1 with area code and phone numbers may work but it depends on how the local carriers handle it.

+ is universal way to tell carriers that there is a country code after it. Country code for US and Canada is 1. Other countries may have 2 or 3 digits country codes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
if you want to use local sim card, make sure your phone is network unlocked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Sorry if I caused any confusion. I meant dial 1 "plus" the 10 digit phone number. From China I have not had to use the "+1" but it surely does not hurt to include the "+" in case it is needed.
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
So I'm picking up a Nook tomorrow and have been doing some research on the available hacks. It seems like for me, for the time being, a rooted 1.1 is going to work best. Once honeycomb (or cm7) are stable daily drivers, I'll be switching to one of them.

Anyway, I wanted to run my upgrade plan by everyone to make sure it sounds okay. I'm not new to android hacking (have a DInc and a DX) but this will be my first nook. Here's what I'm thinking:

1) Fire up and run through OOBE - Register device with BN

2) Once the OOBE finishes, immediately turn off wireless.

3) If not already on 1.0.1, download updates and install.

4) Apply audonooter 2.12.25

6) Install ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery

5) Apply Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 ROM

Does that sound right? Am I missing anything?
[Nook Color General] fugitoid:
After everything I've read, what you got seems to be the most reliable method. Except your number order is a little out of whack. :P Steps 1-4 are best done following http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting.

In fact, I'm going through this exact method to do a fresh install on my NC to try to eliminate quirks I have with wireless and the Gmail app on my current 1.1 install. But if this fresh install still has the quirks, I'm going back to 1.0.1 and the block patch found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922870&highlight=cwm to prevent 1.1 being pushed automatically to my NC.
[Nook Color General] jerrykur:
Why not just get updated to 1.1.0 and use Autonooter 3.0?
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
thanks fug!!!

how about OC'ing. after all said and one... i was thinking of then applying dalingrin's 950 OC. safe to do when not on froyo?
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
i've read there's problems running CWR when using autonooter 3. i don't mind spending a little extra time to make sure CWR works properly.
[Nook Color General] fugitoid:
No problem!

Honestly, I think there is no reason not to just go for the 1.1 GHz OC (the kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip file). I was running 1.1 GHz before my fresh install (which I've already finished) and I'll soon be running at that speed again. I guess if you want to go to 950 MHz and "break in" your new NC, then by all means. But at the time before I OC'd, I felt there was enough people that were able to go to 1.1 GHz without issues. Then again, I had my NC for 2 weeks before I tried OC'ing.

Also, a few friendly tips. Open up and power up your NC in the store and make sure there aren't any issues with your unit. Also, bring a pair of headphones with you to the store. Around the time I bought mine (just after Xmas), I read posts about headphone jack issues, dead pixels and other weirdness out of the box. I don't know if those quality issues are still out there but you never know.
[Nook Color General] fugitoid:
byproxy is right about the feedback that Autonooter 3.0 is not compatible with CWR. There are enough posts confirming that. It's not worth the trouble. The method laid in the OP is the best way to maximize the NC, in my opinion.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
I just Updated to 1.1 via B&N normal update path, used Autonooter 3.0 and then Used a CWR SD Card to flash the 1.1ghz Kernel . Easy as Pie.
[Nook Color General] burbank:
I'm currently using 2 NC's. I've messed around with some of the different options out there. This week I tried hard to make Nookie Froyo 0.6.7 my preferred hack for day-to-day use but there are too many things I can't get working right. Anyway, I'm going back to the combination of Auto-Nooter 2.12.25 and Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 ROM for the time being.
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
Thanks again! Maybe I will go right to 1.1. Honestly my concern wasn't stability. It sounds like for someone who's experience and comfortable hacking an android device like this - they're pretty unbrickable.

My concern actually was the potential to fry the CPU. Has anyone run temp readings across different OC's levels to see how much hotter the CPU is getting at the higher speeds?

A crash is no problem... easy to fix. A cooked processor is $250 down the toilet!! LOL
[Nook Color General] nootered:
1. Buy your nook color

2. Turn it on, and register the device

3. Update to 1.1 using Sideload or wait for your device to update itself

4. Use AutoNooter 3.0 to root it

5. Enjoy yourself until CM7 comes out
[Nook Color General] fugitoid:
However, can you backup your NC with that bootable CWR? If you used one of the images from Monster RootPack 0.5, backup is not working yet.

Still, I rather have CWR right on the NC instead of having to keep a separate bootable CWR handy.
[Nook Color General] Omega Ra:
okay...noob question again...what is CWR and what does it do?
[Nook Color General] fugitoid:
No worries.

CWR is short for ClockworkMod Recovery. It's basically a recovery platform for many, such as the NOOKcolor, but not all Android devices. A very watered down analogy is CWR is like using a Windows Repair CD (or better yet Hiren's Boot CD, if you're familiar with that) for Android devices.

A lot of the modifications (such as dalingrin's overclocking kernels) and development ROMs (such as cicada's Nookie Froyo) use CWR to make mod'ing much easier.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
CWR is a must have tool for those who root and flash frequently. It will get you out of a lot of jams.
[Nook Color General] Omega Ra:
oh okay, so since I only really plan to root once and more or less leave it at that it shouldn't be that important for me then.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
i'd still do it. something may get screwed up and it would be nice to have a nandroid available to restore.
[Nook Color General] Omega Ra:
I have heard there are problems with CWR and AutoNooter 3...so we'll see.
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
Yeah its not Autonooter 3 its the 1.1 update, if you flash CWR to your device instead of using a stand alone card, you will get stuck in the CWR next time you boot and you will have to re-flash your boot partition before you can boot normally again.

You can still use the Stand alone CWR SD card to use the tool.
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
So, picked up the ol Nook this evening and proceeded with a very slightly modified version of my afore mentioned steps (thanks to fug for the input!). Here's what I did exactly:

1) Fired up and ran through OOBE - Registered device with BN

2) Once the OOBE finishes, immediately turned off wireless.

3) If not already on 1.0.1, download updates and install (I was already on 1.0.1 so was able to skip this step).

4) Root using audonooter 2.12.25

6) Fired up wireless again and installed ROM Manager and Clockwork Recovery via market.

5) Flashed Decad3nce's V1.1.0_r2 ROM

7) Created nandroid (CWR backup)

6) Flashed 1.1ghz OC Kernel

So far so good! Will report any problems if if/as I encounter them!!
[Nook Color General] byproxy:
well... can't get market to work. won't connect. get a server error. started after the 1.1 update. not the kernel... so may try going back to 1.0. will update after.
