[EVO 4G General] mutepoint:
Some would say avg d/l speed of less than 200kbps with no end in sight is worse than throttling. At least with throttling you know what is going on. Ads by CEO's which ignore the fact that Sprints average 3G data speed is less than the competition's throttled speed, are not looking at the big picture. Here in SW Florida the 3G is unusable... I just leave wifi on all the time now at both work and at home. As far as the road goes - well it still is a phone, and works fine as that.

So I noticed that my phone jumped an hour ahead earlier at 10pm so it read 11pm. My computers aren't set to jump an hour ahead till 2am and then they will read 3am. So right now both my Wife's unrooted stock MyTouch4G and my Nexus S are reading 3:33am when its still technically 1:33am.

We tried setting the time manually and when we set it to 2:33am the time still read 3:33am. Rebooting the phones didn't help either. I'm not sure if this is an issue with T-Mobile's cell service giving the wrong time updates to the phones, Google services, or Android OS.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DoomFragger:
I had DST issues today. I had my phone set to automatically fetch time from network.

Turns out, this morning, the phone didn't advance one hour as I'd expected. This also happened in my Desire running Oxygen (GB 2.3.3).

Although, my GF's Sense Desire (2.2) with the same settings and same network, did what was expected.

I conducting also some tests regarding events in the Calendar and I have found an issue with an appointment I've created before the DST kicked in.

I've set to 8h and after I corrected the system time, it appears at 9h. :confused:

From what I see, IOS isn't the only only, lol!
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
I wanna upgrade down the so I wanna know how the discount system work cuz don't wanna pay full price
[Vibrant General] Joy2DaWurld:
To quote directly from My T-Mobile:

I'm currently on a family plan with 3 other family members. I recently upgraded my phone so if I attempt to upgrade MY line for ANY phone I HAVE to pay the full MSRP: $399.99 for the Vibrant, $499.99 for the Vibrant 4G/G2, etc...even WITH a 2-year contract extension)

My aunt's line which has not been upgraded recently only forces her to pay the current prices of each phone with a new 2-year extension ($199.99 for the Vibrant 4G). It all depends on how you're willing to wait. But always know that most/all Android phones require a data plan of some sort. The options are limited online, but you can always go to a store and haggle prices of phones/plans ;)
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Buying outright is more cost for the phone upfront, it it is less cost for the plan. IT is always cheaper to go that way over 2 years, and you are not tied into a contract
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I have not had a contract for over 4 years. I buy my phones off craigs list. Just check out the phone before you buy it. I have gotten my last 3 phones that way. Paid 200 buck for my vibrant.
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
If you have been a Tmo customer for a while (meaning several years and purchased at least 2 phones from them) You may be able to get something if you raise a little bit of a stink. They like to appease displeased customers and if you complain about something in an adult way, you can possibly get approved for an early upgrade.

A buddy of mine was able to get an early upgrade because he was not on an android device and was curious to see how much of an improvement in his mobile experience it would be to own one. So they allowed him to get a MT4G at the 2yr upgrade price.
[Vibrant General] billwinkle:
I bought my vibrant full price the begining of Feb. and no contract. but then on Valentine weekend they were giving smart phones away for the weekend with 2 year contract. Needless to say my son needed a phone so I said what the heck. I ended up with a free mytouch 4g and my son a Vibrant. It ended up cheaper in the long run. But my MT4G sit's in my briefcase as I am having too much fun ROM'ing my Vibrant.

It's all in the timing as Tmobile is always having some kind of sale.
[General Questions and Answers] starshooter10:
so i bought a HD2 from a buddy of mine, its a Tmobile leo1024

(im an ATT user)

I guess he switched to VZW and though it would be a good idea to change the radio on it (hes NOT very tech savy)

any who, he said the in call sounds was funky but at 40$ i couldn't refuse a new cell (currently tilt2)

so I bring it home, HSPL4, magldr, radio (2.14.50) and a nice fresh flash of android

everything is GREAT its faster then heck...

buddy brings his sim (tmo) over so they can OTA unlock the unit and in call sounds like a combination of Morse code and that transformers sound almost rapid beeps...

I've since tried a NEW android rom and radio 2.8.50

you'll have to excuse me, all from memory here....

any thoughts?

just installed a few other radios from the "Master raido thead" still acting up :\

dunno what the FINAL fix is, but I read from another forum that if you turn off the KEYPAD DIAL TONES it'll "fix" itself.

[Samsung Mesmerize] tubl07:
Long story short update my new mesmerize to the EA11 leak, then when i flashed the voodoo kernel my battery came out during the reboot. I got the lady voice but never fully rebooted. My phone is (seemingly) fully functional, however when i reboot into recovery i am presented with Cannot mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2, no such file or directory and when i reflash the voodoo kernel i get stuck at the samsung bootscreen. I had to reflash CWM_froyo.zip in odin in order for it to boot again. I seem to have corrupted that internal partion, is there any fix? I have already tried reflashing EA11 again with repartition and still have the same issue. Anybody see this type of error before? Thanks for any advice

Update: after much work flashing back and forth from EA11 to EB16 and vice versa, reflashing the kernel with the help of lmartin92 and others on IRC, the solution was accomplished by reflashing back to stock and then up to eb16. When i reflashed to eclair i still had mbr check error and fota wipe fail errors but those FINALLY went away when flashing to EB16. Now i have my voodoo kernel and working recovery, thanks a million guys. great support for when you accidentally f-up

Can't mount /dev/blocks/st.111

I'm not sure what is the deal here but I am getting a simmilar error. I'm a noob and got my phone about 4 weeks ago and thought it was great until I came across XDA. :) With caution I was reading how to go to Froyo Ea11 and took a leap and tried it. I followed the directions everything went smooth. I have done nothing more then put Ea11 and rooted the phone, no voodoo, no rom's ect. I now want to go to Eb16 but after flashing I get: E:Can't mount /dev/blocks/st.111 and I dont know where to go from there. I did some minor troubleshooting and tried flashing it again with the same result. I then decided that I may of had a bad download so I redownloaded the Eb16 file and flashed again with the same result. I then decided to Flash back to Ea11 and all is well, it boots and everything works. So I tried to flash Eb16 and same result. I then read this thread and sent my phone back to factory 2.1 and everything is good boots and works. So from factory I tried to go right to Eb16 and I keep getting the same error Can't mount /dev/blocks/st.111 I dont understand why 2.1 works and Ea11 works but Eb16 does not. Any suggestions would be great.

**UPDATE** I solved my own problem, I used the EA11 atlas_v2.2.1.pit file and it loaded without issue. ???

hey guys i got my optimus v and i love it, but i have installed a few apps and it is lagging and i still cant play .avi files. i figured that OCing would fix this. so i was wondering could someone give me a complete list of roms that will work? i already have my phone rooted. and as for the rom i would very much like to not change anything, all i want is overclocking and tethering to work. or could someone show me how to modify the stock rom to let me do those two things?

USB tether in WinXP

Here's what I learned trying to USB tether my HTC Incredible with CM7 and my netbook with WinXP. WindowsXP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux, and Apple all have the USB android RNDIS drivers needed for USB tethering. However, WinXP is not ready to go out of the box and needs a configuration file, teatherxp.inf, to configure WinXP to install these drivers. When the Android USB drivers are installed they are found under Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adaptors > Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS.

Follow the instructions on http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134 and it shows you how to install the drivers. This works fine and dandy and WinXP will try to install the Android USB drivers when you start USB tethering according to the directions as long as your phone is contained in the configuration file on this web site.*

If you phone is not in the inf file it will not recognize the inf file. If this is the case, you need to modify the inf file to include your phone. Do not modify the tetherxp.inf file in the Google link. Use the XDA Developers tetherxp.inf from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1419159 as it is configured in a more readable and understandable way and perhaps more timely. This tetherxp.inf is configured for only some models of Google Nexus, HTC, and Motorlola and did not work with my HTC Incredible.

Open tetherxp.inf in a text editor and you will find the phones are listed twice, both under [AndroidDevices] and [AndroidDevices.NT.5.1]. You can add your own phone but obviously the syntax has to be exactly correct and you need to find the information to include. If you start USB tethering and you were not able to install the drivers then go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager and you will find Other Devices > RNDIS with a yellow question mark. Right click and go to properties > details > device instance ID and you will find the information that needs to go in the file. My Incredible had USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03\HT05GHJ09289. You don't use the final slash and following text which is he USB ID of the phone. It is no coincidence how similar the information on the Incredible is to the other HTC phones.

At the end of [AndroidDevices] paste the following 2 lines:

; HTC Incredible without adb

%AndroidDevice% = RNDIS, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03

At the end of [AndroidDevices.NT.5.1] paste the following two lines:

; HTC Incredible without adb

%AndroidDevice% = RNDIS.NT.5.1, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03

Now save the file and go back to Other Devices > RNDIS and update the driver by pointing to your now updated tetherxp.inf file and the drivers will be installed and your phone will have USB tether on WinXP. If you follow these general principles you should be able to put any phone into tetherxp.inf.

Hope this is helpful to someone. It took me awhile to figure it out. BTW, when you are using USB tether on WinXp and you are done using it, don't uncheck the USB tether box in the Android settings, just unplug it. Otherwise something hangs and you will have trouble starting it up again and your computer can't complete the shutdown.
