[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkiminfinity:
if that second option were true, wouldn't that mean that every phone currently running on 3G (iphones and droids alike) would all gain the ability to run simultaneous data and voice? that sounds very nice indeed.

i don't have any sources but i believe i remember reading that the nature of CDMA and how it connects prohibits simultaneous voice/data as opposed to however GSM operates. sorry for such broad information but i'm not exactly a wireless carrier expert. if what you said is true though and they found some way to upgrade it, that would be awesome for all those on verizon 3G.

my skeptical side though is saying that verizon is no saint and would just respond that simultaneous voice/data is a feature specifically for 4G service and if you aren't in a 4G area tough break and wait for 4G/LTE to roll out near you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
Actually VZW recently did a software upgrade for their infrastructure to allow simultaneous voice and data over EVDO Rev A and the Thunderbolt is their first handset with the radio capable of supporting it. From what I've read it's a hardware thing so they can't update firmware in other phones like the iPhone to support it. I can't link to any articles from the XDA App but read any of the major Android blogs as they've been reporting about it for the past couple days or do a Google search for SVDO.

BAAMM! lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] need bb:
That is the rumor :) Verizon is not using 1X advanced, so the only way that simultaneous voice and data works if you have two radios which are capable of transmitting at the same time. This is why only select 4G phones support SVDO.

As I said earlier, SVDO will work in both 4G and 3G areas because of the dual radios on-board.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popular nobody:
The Thunderbolt have SVDO support, because it's using a SVDO capable chipset. Dual radios doesn't have anything to do with it, but only with CDMA/ 4G LTE handoffs, which is similar to Sprint's 4G phones. SVDO works on a 1X and 1X Advanced capable device, so didn't need to switch to 1X Advanced in order for it to work, though they have been some 1X advanced codecs for a while. Verizon wanted this including in their iPhone 4 phones so bad, but it just wasn't ready.

No problem! I'm just sharing what I've been reading but it's entirely possible that "need bb" knows something that I don't...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauiKeitai:
Ok, so I was interested in checking out the LTE speeds and wanted to test out the ability to do SVDO. I went to my local Verizon store and realized that My area doesn't have 4G yet. Duh! lol. And when inspecting the phone itself I could not find a way to turn on or any mention of LTE in any way anywhere on the phone! Hmmmm. So then I tried to test SVDO. I called one t-bolt with the other display t-bolt and then tried to surf. Newp. no can do. The call went thru so Its all setup but maybe it had no sim card?? I didn't check. Maybe my area doesn't have SVDO yet either? Can anyone now confirm simultaneous voice and data??? Now that people have got the phone in their hands now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkoss:
I am not in a 4G area and I can confirm the phone does voice and data simultaneously, very well, I might add
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauiKeitai:
Hmmmm, I wonder what I was doing wrong??
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Old MuckenMire:
You know my verizon rep said a funny thing today when I asked him about the voice/data at the same time on 3G...he actually said "we don't guarantee that will work yet and that the network is still being worked on in some places to enable this feature for certain devices like the Thunderbolt" I had already tried it on the demo TB so I wasn't worried but maybe that's why it's not working for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1lover:
I can also confirm that in a non 4g area it does both voice and data at the same time... :) nice feature I didn't expect.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauiKeitai:
Hmm, yeah I guess as usual my area is slow at upgrading the network. Man, if Verizon would pay my etf on Sprint I would be all over that thing.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angermeans:
I work for verizon and you are right they have changed on the network side making simultanious voice and data through both 4G and 3G and it was done on the network not on the phone itself. Now I don't know if this was the reason for the month and a half delay or not but makes sense. From what I heard from my friend in the testing department it had to do with battery.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauiKeitai:
I don't know about you guys but I really love the fact that all the naysayers that simultaneous voice and data is impossible can finally shut up. LOL
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PorscheGuy:
I was also able to confirm that my TB can do voice and data at the same time while in a 3G area.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1lover:
From the horses arse.... I heard the timing was all about other devices and money... It's a timing thing so all the people that just bought the iphone could not return the phone and get the thunderbolt. It makes sense and is also a good business move as well.

The battery on this phone is amazingly great! I love it....
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1454:
I would rather iphone users be able to return their phones. That way it could possibly be a flop and maybe verizon would dump to expensive POS. That, and that alone, is what cost us all of our perks like NE2, unlimited data(which isn't gone yet, but you know it's going that way), etc. The manager at the store who has dealt with me on my last three phones between me and my fiancee, said that the iTurd costs them like an average of 150 dollars more per phone than non-apple phones. So they in order to get that POS they had to do away with the "perk" or raise everybodies prices. I don't know how true it is, but given apples draconian ways, it wouldn't surprise me in the least, and she seems to be pretty knowledgeable compared to the drones that work there.

[General Questions and Answers] TDiamonduser:
Good afternoon everybody,

A couple of days ago the TOMTOM navigation software of my HTC Diamond got an error. It seems that the software somehow is damaged or removed . I did not do it myself, but i suspect dat it has been occured when i accidentally removed the battery from the phone when the phone still was in power. So now the TomTom software still works but the navigationmap is empty . Has anyone tips or tricks how i can recover the software? I also heard about a free navigation software called 'AMAZEGPS' , but when i try to install it on my phone, it doesn't work. It has to be unpacked, but when i unpack in on the pc it won't be installed on my phone. IIf someone can help me with this problem... thanks a lot !

[G2 and Desire Z General] th1rt3en:
If you havent seen pictures of the HTC Salsa, and its new version of the sense clock (Attached, it has Facebook Status instead of weather).

I like that, and theres a few ROMs offering Sense and Gingerbread, but they're waaaaay too buggy so far, and I'm not ready to use them as a 'daily rom'.

What I was hoping for was a way to take the sense clock widget from a 2.3 ROM, and put it into a 2.2 ROM, maybe just the APK or something. Any ideas?

EDIT: I've included the HTCClockWidget.apk from both froyo and gingerbread, maybe some crafty developer and make a frankestein version to get it to work.

Just downloaded and flashed this, and holy **** is it fast! I haven't done a whole lot with it, but it's by far the fastest looking Gingerbread ROM I've seen yet. I'll comment about this later after I get some apps installed and play around with it. I wonder why the developer hasn't started a thread in the Development section here.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
He did start a thread but it was removed by MODs, I think it had some paid apps in it, but I'm not really sure why it was removed.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustrho:
So I did flash this last night with the latest gapps (gapps-gb-20110307), and like I had mentioned before this is a very fast ROM. Everything about it seemed to work just fine, but I noticed something odd with Gmail on it. When reading emails it seemed that the right margin was pushed to the left of the screen, so that there would be this white gap of empty space on the right. Not sure if that was a gapps issue or somehow tied into this ROM.

Anyone else try this ROM, and if so what are your thoughts about it?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdsbj6508:

which kinda sucks.. but damn, this rom is fast. Using 3.1.2 version, i thin maybe only one avaiable to download :) but to me, its working out better than CM7 without any FC. Market downloads are on the spot, no issue.. gps is great. never had an issue on cm7 anyways like everyone else did. and im just no getting constant FC or errors for downloads from market or browser. really fast and smooth.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Have you read about the background of this ROM vs. CM? Apparently this ROM is stolen from CM code, and the developer not only neglected to credit the CM team, but dissed them and said they were "only in it for the money". Which is ironic, since you've pointed out that UD is charging for nightlies, while CM is free.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noodles2224:

:P anyways, it is nice and fast.. but I went back to stock. This one gave me the same problem that nightly #13 and up gave me. Problems with downloading from market or browser.. it just states "starting download" and has no progress of it. I looked at the logcat, shows "cannot insert to download database" I have wiped data on market and download manager using titanium but nothing, only that helps is a reboot but it gets annoying when I can't have a download on the spot or on the go. Does anyone know of a solution, please?? No one replies of it in the nightly thread.. I would go to CM6 but they haven't made an update of a workaround for the dumb unknown number issue.. re entering the number after boots sucks.. I like having my avatar when texting :) not the gray box..

I am running UD 3.3 on my Z and have been using it for my daily rom. No problems and one of the only roms the BT voice is working properly. Hit the button and it actually asks who you want to call. This seems to fall out of a lot of other roms.

DL/UP speed is on par with every other rom, GPS is awesome, Battery life still goes 14 hrs with 43% remaining.

Only complaint from me is they are not here! I do not find the UD website as usable as XDA and the interaction for tips and tricks and suck is lacking there.

I just enjoy XDA! But the rom is awesome fast and stable as a rock! :)

I'm on the TMOUS Official Test leak of 2.3...and battery life is great, but there are a few issues with this rom that are bugging me (memory usage, gallery issues, etc).

Cyanogen 7 was a battery killer for me no matter what tweaks I did to it. The rom I am currently using right now gives me about 10 hours of battery (which for me, is great) compared to Cyanogen's 6-7...

The HTC Pyramid, a 4.3 inch device that will be powered by a 1.2GHz processor<not dualcore:confused:> has shown itself on the internet again. In addition to this, the device will have 768MB of RAM along with an 8MP rear and 1.3MP front facing camera on board. The rear of the device shows Google branding, but lacks the "with HTC Sense" that we are used to seeing on these devices, and the device is said to be running Android 3.0, Honeycomb. Now, we are unsure of the truth behind all these specs, but we sure do hope that HTC will confirm all of this for us next week at CTIA

[HTC Sensation] mjehan:
Until HTC invents a larger battery it will not be able to offer dual-core.
[HTC Sensation] maarten00:
Yes they will. Dual core phones use less power because they can turn off 1 core and use less power than any other phone with 1 single core. When the dual core does kick in it probably means the phone is on a 100% load or so, which means that any phone would use a lot of power. The difference is not as big as you would think.

There are rumors that this phone will have a dual core processor.
[HTC Sensation] dr.m0x:
That article does not state that the pyramid is not dual core. It neither confirms nor denies the number of cores. There are other rumoured specs out there which suggest it will be a dual core snapdragon. Just google it.

Given the fact that competitors have released dual cores, htc will wish to follow suit. Not doing so will cost them market share.

If the other part of the article is true and it shall be another google nexus then that will be truly interesting. I wonder if they will also release a similar spec sense phone in the fashion of the nexus one and desire. If so it will be hard for me to look past the nexus pyramid. It will be dev heaven as google policy is to allow the user to easily unlock the bootloader. Plus if the hardware is largely identical, it will get sense ports.

--- I am geek. Hear me squeek. ---
[HTC Sensation] maarten00:
There is 1 sign that tells us it might be the new nexus, and that is the fact that it's stating Google on the back. But Another thing that nexus phones don't have, is a HTC logo on the front. So the only sign telling us it's a google phone on the back is being invalidated by the front of the phone.
[HTC Sensation] The Jones:
I have a feeling this will be the Nexus Two (or whatever) with HTC branding on the front. The Nexus S is known everywhere as the Samsung Nexus S, so it could be a logical extension of the manufacturers branding.

It seems to make sense that the next Nexus phone would have a qHD screen, dual core CPU and be a 4.3" device, after all this is where lots of phones are going and the Nexus line is meant to offer some sort of reference design.

After the Nexus S, which I am now selling so I can keep my Desire HD, I would welcome a Nexus phone from HTC again.

As for the OS, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an Android Honeycomb for phones version (which could be a 3.x or 2.4 or something else) and this device launches that version. I cant help but remember that the HTC Passion name was rumoured for months before the Nexus One came out, this device may not be out for months yet....

On the other hand, this could be all be fake. Or the Desire HDS or something...
