Now, when I look for a new phone, I should look for 900/2100 and it should work right?

I look at GSMArena, Desire Z, Desire S and Desire HD they all has 900/2100 3G Band. If Desire Z works, is that means Desire S and Desire HD should work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronan_zj:
Dude， before u buy the phone, u should know which 3G frequency Tmobile uses. For Tmobile USA, the 3G frequency is 1700, and Inspire 4G for ATT is 850, so this is not the phone problem , its your own problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RogerPodacter:
No that is wrong. That poster said the wrong info. For t-mobile usa, to work on 3g it needs 1700 and 2100. It needs both, not just one or the other. It's usually called aws bands.

T-mobile uses uncommon bands for 3g, so it makes it difficult to find unlocked phones unless the manufacturer specifically made the phone for t-mobile bands.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darknessxyz:
Please forgive me if I misunderstand anything since I'm pretty new and don't play with smart phone alot. I didn't blame the phone. I just wanna know which one will work.

The Desire Z has HSDPA 900/2100 and HSDPA 850/1900 (North America) and it is a T-Mobile phone. If T-Mobile use 1700/2100, that means the Desire Z only use it's 2100 part. Then why other 900/2100 phone like the Desire HD doesn't work?

If you guys can post some link I can read as to how to pick a phone to work with my network, I'll really appreciate. Thanx alot
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronan_zj:

i love this phone. im coming from an iPhone 3GS and this is a good transition. I really wish it had the kickstand and front camera, but oh well by the time i upgrade ill have a quad core htc phone.

All of these phones will work with your network; others will not get 3G or 4G speeds. It is more difficult to buy a phone that your carrier does not offer than it is for people on other networks due to all of the reasons stated already. Try googling: T-mobile, AT&T, 3G, 4G, UTMS, HSPA+, WCDMA, 1700/2100, 900/2100, 850/1900. That should give you a pretty solid base. Wikipedia isn't a bad source either, just don't cite it...

[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I've got 3 EVOs I would like to sell and was wondering how much can I expect to sell these for on eBay? They are in almost mint condition and all 3 have been rooted. Two of them are hardware 003 and the other is 004.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] ruben1221:
Maybe 250 and up. Depending what u throw in there and how low u want to sell them for. How much were u thinking bout selling them each?

[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I was probably thinking about starting bidding around $250.

[EVO 4G General] allenmkelso:
EVO's from sprint are still $450 plus tax = 480.. and on ebay they usually sell around those prices if their new.. being the fact that yours isn't you should drop the price but around $250 would be cheating yourself
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
So maybe 300-350 for each is more like it?

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] cvinton07:
Search for HTC Evo on ebay, and under your search options on the side when the results come up is an option show "Completed listings" check this and it'll show you auctions that have recently ended. This way you can get an idea of how much they will sell for...
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Thanks... I did that and on average, they sell for low to mid 300s. I think it's good, because I will be able to pay for the ETFs and still have some leftover money.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I've sold quite a few phones over the years. One thing is don't set your initial price too high, it'll cause lots of people to wait till the last minute to bid, and they don't get their thrill of outbidding other people, or they're less likely to pay attention. Pictures, pictures, pictures. The more pictures showing the shape of your phone the better (well mostly if it's in great shape). If you've kept them in a case and screen protectors the whole time you've had them mention that, it lets people know you cared for them. You will most likely have to pay off your early termination fee before anyone else can activate those phones so be ready for that.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Thanks for the tips! I will just pay the ETF right before shipping them out. I guess I will also give the buyer the option on whether he wanta to keep the phone rooted or in stock condition.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
I can give you 280 shipped I got a buddy that wants one.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
I forgot to mention that's good to give them the option of leaving it rooted or not. You can double check with Sprint that your ESN is free and clear before shipping, but make sure you write down those numbers on the phone, just in case the buyer gets it and it happened to me with my Pre, they were told that the ESN was locked. It took an hour on the phone with Sprint from me. At first the buyer thought I swindled him, but I assured him that wasn't the case and I would work it out with Sprint for him. I even had Sprint do a conference call with me and him on the line. Hopefully you don't come to that, mine was some fluke that left the phone as showing activated in the system yet Sprint couldn't find where it was activated.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Thanks for the offer but I'm gonna try eBay first.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Thanks again. I will most definitely make sure the phones are disconnected and the ESNs are clear, before I ship them out.

[EVO 4G General] knives of ice:
just search completed auctions that is the best way to get an idea what to expect.

you'd probably be better off selling it on craigslist though, no fees, straight cash, and yo don't have to worry about idiots filing paypal chargebacks claiming something is wrong with the phone.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
The craigslist route ain't bad cuz you can even meet them at a Sprint store and they can pay you while you're there for them to activate it, but even though it's free, depending on where you live you will have a smaller market to sell to. If I remember correctly you're leaving Sprint cuz of issues in your area, so your market may not be the best market to sell a Sprint device too. You pay ebay a percentage because they created a system and site that gets your auction looked at by the largest amount of people you can.

I live in Southern California so the local craigslist market is quite large to keep prices fairly close to ebay prices, but it may not be the same for you in Virginia, plus having to deal with all the individual answering of emails and people low balling you will probably not be worth the 8% cut you have to give Ebay.
[EVO 4G General] knives of ice:
the ebay and paypal fees are far more than 8%. list your item on craigslist or even ebay classifieds and if you can't get the price you want then put it on ebay.
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
http://www.ebcalc.com for fees calculation..

On a $300 item, figure ~$40 in fees (including ebay, paypal, shipping). That's ~13%. If you sell it through the forum, you save on ebay fees ($22 on a $300 sale).

Also, don't skimp on shipping when you send this. If you're using usps, at least get signature confirmation if you don't opt for insurance.

If you ship ups... well, don't you'll get raped. If you ship fedex home/ground, it's cheaper if it goes to a business location, and if you want signature (paypal requires this on over $250 sales for seller protection), insure the item for $500, it'll automatically add signature required for free.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
A bit off topic, but does anyone know if Sprint phones such as the Palm Pre can be activated on Virgin Mobile? A customer rep from Virgin Mobile said no over the phone, but just want to make sure she isn't just saying this so I can buy the phones directly from Virgin Mobile. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
No only metro cricket and boost, the reason being the plans are tooooooo cheap
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Ok, so if I wanted to activate any of my old Sprint phones, I would only be able to do it with Metro, Cricket and Boost?

If you had to choose, which one would you go with?

1. VM

2. Cricket

3. Boost

4. Metro

I really like the cheap prices on VM and that Optimus V isn't too shabby either.
[EVO 4G General] iitreatedii:
Ohhhhh your leaving in that case I would flash an Evo to boost sell the other two and pay 50 a month unlimited everything, I bought my sister the LG rumor touch for her birthday for 100 and her monthly cost is 27 I think...her service isn't good in my house but I had the same problem with ATT, sprint gives me a bar or two, she has to go to the window to send text messages
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Oh ok... Thanks for the info. I'm sort of in a bind now. I have 4 phones (3 EVOS and 1 Optimus S). If I sell all four, I will then have to pay the ETF for each line and also buy 4 new phones if I go with VM which has the lowest plan. Believe it or not, 400 minutes is MORE than enough for us, so this $25/mo plan is just perfect for us.

If I want to save on having to purchase the Optimus V, then I have to go with Boost, so I can use my old Sprint phones (Palm Pre and Samsungs). But Boost's plan is $50/mo which would put me at $200/mo for all 4 lines. This is exactly what I'm already paying with Sprint!

I guess my best bet is to just buy the Optimus V (times 4 phones) with VM, which would put me at $100/mo, thus saving me $100/mo from my current setup and the benefit of being on no contract.

[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Yeah I double checked yesterday Ebay's final value fee is 9% with a cap of $50. Paypal is about 3% no cap, and your insertion fees can be anywhere from $.50 to $4.00 depending on what options you go with. So if you sell to the forum and they're paying Paypal don't forget to factor in that 3%, since of that $40 in fees only about $31 of it is to Ebay.

Why are you leaving sprint anyways?
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Mostly for financial reasons. I'm currently paying about $215/mo for 3 EVOs and an Optimus S on a family plan. I was doing some research on my account and all our lines average about 200 minutes of talk time.

Plus take into account that we don't have 4G access in my area, so basically I was paying $215/mo for minimal talk time and mostly texts/3G service.

By going with Virgin Mobile, I will have 4 lines @ $25/mo each (400 minutes talk time and UNLIMITED data/texting), thus allowing me to save $115/mo and not tied to a contract!

Yes, I will lose my EVOs but for our needs, the Optimus V more than suffices. Besides, it's still Android and there is even a CM7 ROM for it.

In my situation, I feel it's a win-win situation.

Anyone else see this? Its the usually creepy apps that have the malicious code just like on PC but its just great we have to watch for it on our phones now too.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
This really isn't anything that should be surprising to anyone.

Remember, if you can root your phone, so can any random app out there! An app could claim to require no permissions at all, and then root your phone and do whatever the hell it wants... or, it could be smaller and more evasive by only requiring internet access, and it checks a server to get a root exploit for your phone's specific version of android, at which point it can do anything (a security researcher wrote an app to do that a while back, but it eventually got pulled from the market... he wasn't actually deploying the payloads, more so just a Proof of Concept).

Android's security is really pretty lousy. Doubly so since updates aren't rolled out in anything even close to resembling a timely manner (if ever)! If you have sensitive data stored on your phone, it's pretty much guaranteed to not be secure.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Yes, once rooted you're open to a lot of potential harm. However, I don't think its possible for an app to root your phone without you knowing. That first step requires human interaction.

If I'm wrong, please tell me, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
[Fascinate General] KitsuneKnight:
You're wrong. No human interaction required. At all. And whether you're already rooted or not makes no difference.
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
You are correct...google has already confirmed it.
[Fascinate General] superchunkwii:
Yep, I'm wrong. I just googled and found the articles in question. Man that's crazy.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhinology:
From what I know, bootloader loads kernel then gives control to it. So why we have to modify the bootloader? Can we just modify the kernel?

My understanding is: "signed bootloader + bootloader checking kernel's integrity" is a problem. Signed bootloader itself is not a problem.

Please educate me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike's Aria:
If I understand correctly:

The signed bootloader checks the signature of the kernel.

If you modify the kernel the bootloader won't recognize it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
This whole situation has me wondering "so what?" People talk about a signed bootloader like it's a permanent state. Uncrackable. Well of course it's crackable! Software encryptions are cracked all the time, what makes the Atrix any different?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squadfer:
Yes everything is crackable but it takes time for computers to crack them. Some encryptions can take 3 seconds to crack on a super computer while the more hardcore encryptions can take months to crack on that same super computer.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
So I guess the question is, "Is anyone working on this?" If not, what needs to happen in order to get the ball rolling, so to speak?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fixter:
About 20 thousand dollars. Just for the support computer. :P
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
What makes the difference is the Atrix possibly has encryption/sighned bootloader going all the way to the hardware on the chip. Meaning you'd need to actually replace the chip on the main board with a non signed one
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhited:
Or perhaps it's possible to sandbox that part of the bootloader to its own region, and have an alternate loader that doesn't do a signature check?

I mean, I know this is all based on speculation, but I can imagine numerous possibilities.

I've also read that all Samsung Galaxy S live wallpapers (like Ocean Waves...etc) do not run on Tegra 2.... is that true??

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Thanks for the QR code, it wont actually load the wall paper. I don't think it's a weak GPU issue tho. I think it has more to do with the screen resolution and the ability of the live wall paper not being able to scale. I've got a few other live wall papers that I know use a ton of CPU power like the "3D Matrix II Reloaded" wallpaper and it handles that with no problems (Even though on Spare Parts it shows it eating a ton of CPU power.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
That's quite sad. First it was the Tegra 2 with the new architecture, now it's the qHD resolution? Unless NVIDIA releases a fleet of impressive apps like Samsung did for Hummingbird, it seems to be counterproductive to get an Atrix today.

Hey TareX did you get your phone replaced in the end because of the live wallpaper issue we were both, and I am still, having? Be curious to hear your results

In relation to this question, you can see from my video how bad the lag is for me with any wallpaper. :/ Hopefully gingerbread/new blur/unlocked bootloader will fix that sometime in near future.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
I have never seen the lag you are experiencing. Would be very interested in finding out why some people see this, and others appear not to. I have tried every mod and theme possible in the last 2 months also, so it can't be specific to certain P-ROM's, themes, etc.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
It's quite disappointing tbh.

I too have tried almost every mod available but the lag appears regardless if I'm stock or as far away from stock as I can get. I hope its not a hardware issue, I'm in Australia and don't want to have to somehow get it replaced from Motorola. (I won it as a prize which makes it even harder to replace again..) The Atrix only became available yesterday for Australian telcos..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Hey there, I have managed to find time to get myself down to a Telstra dealer *the Atrix only becoming available within the last few days* and have noticed the same issue that I am seeing on telstra's stock firmware.
