On the topic of calling retentions to get an Airvana unit, do they handle SERO accounts or should I call the SERO number for that? I moved a few months ago and my new apartment building absolutely kills my cell reception, so I'm hoping they might be willing to help me out.

averox posted:This is actually why I still keep a task killer handy. I haven't had issues since using CM7 but on Fresh and Sense I've have applications go haywire and required forced closings. Does that have anything over the built-in task manager? Settings > Applications > Running services lets you see what you have running and the CPU time everything's used, plus you can kill things right there if something's gone haywire and is pegging your CPU.

ExcessBLarg! posted:I admit, I don't know how it works anymore since everything's instant-rebate right now. I last upgraded when mail-in rebates were the norm for both new and upgrade customers, and the difference was that the two-year upgrade was $150 off and I was eligible for the $100 mail-in rebate that new customers got as well. For the 3D, it's the $150 upgrade discount and a $200 instant rebate, bringing the price down from $550 to $200.

Huh? I've got SERO and I swapped my Evo for my 3D on the web site without any problems.

Has anybody here had issues with cold booting their 3D while it's plugged in? Ever since I got it (even before rooting the thing), if I forget to unplug it before starting it from being completely shut down, it refuses to boot until I pull the battery and unplug it. This apparently has happened to a few other people, but I'm just curious as to whether anybody else has seen it.

On the whole you make money. But when you throw tethering in it's like bringing farm animals into the buffet. Remember the days when cable companies and phone companies said you weren't allowed to use a router and had to get a separate line for each computer you had connected to their service? This is basically the same thing.

He can just have a rooted stock as a pit stop on the way to greater things. Not yet, no. Eventually, it probably will, but for now, MHL, 3D, and WiMAX don't work on it on CM7.

Has something changed with the loyalty account value data on the Sprint site? I got curious as to what they have me currently rated at and it's coming up as 20. I could have sworn it was out of 10. I really can't think it's terribly great since I'm a SERO freeloader, but I'm honestly not sure how to interpret this.

brc64 posted:My Evo 3D stopped receiving calls today. Like, callers would hear ringing until it went to voicemail, but the phone itself would never register a call. Text messages were fine and I could call out, just couldn't receive calls. That happened to me a couple months ago (the error 16 thing that some people had happen immediately after rooting, except I hadn't done anything to my phone in a while). I had to flash back to a Sense ROM, let them run their reactivation thing, and then leave it until the next day for it to actually get sent out. I still don't know what caused it.

Apparently Qualcomm released ICS driver binaries for the entire Adreno 2xx line. The Evo 3D, meanwhile, happens to have an Adreno 220 for the GPU. Now, with that said, I'm not seeing anything in the archive specifically mentioning the 220, but the drivers are supposedly for the entire 200-numbered line. I flashed this ZIP that somebody made of it and it seems to have improved things somewhat on that ICS build that toastcfh released, but I'm not entirely sure it's not a placebo. I figured I'd mention it in case anybody else wants to give it a shot, though.

Looks like I'm getting a Galaxy Nexus. I've pretty much stuck with CM on my previous phones for AOSP, but, uh, that's not really going to be necessary with this since it's already AOSP. Does it offer any significant benefits? Or, does this AOKP thing that I keep hearing about? XDA's being typically unhelpful when it comes to finding out what they've actually added on to AOSP for ICS.

ExcessBLarg! posted:Unfortunately they couldn't do the apropriate change through the corp store directly, so they had to call it in. At first the girl who was handling the change over the phone thought I had to move to EPRP, but they figured out the right trick is to temporarily change to a more expensive (EPRP?) plan, apply the upgrade, then switch back to SERO Premium 500 with the appropriate LTE designation. Once they figured it out, it went smoothly after that. (Which was far better than when I tried to pick up an Epic in store on the day SERO Premium came out, the corp store was unsuccessful in calling in that change and I ended up having to order online.) Huh. Weird. When I got my GN, I just called the employee number and let the rep know what I was trying to do and she got my WiMAX SERO plan switched over to an LTE SERO plan directly. I haven't tried going the other way, but I don't know why you couldn't if you really wanted to for some reason. You'd definitely need to call, though, since the web site doesn't work very well with SERO plans any more.

falz posted:It appears that "FH05" in this thread is the full thing. I'll test this out. Or you could do what I did and just extract the partition images from the Odin archive and flash 'em with fastboot. The userdata image still wipes your sdcard data, though, since it's part of the same partition, so back up anything you need off of there first. Edit: Oh, and this ROM doesn't seem to automatically reflash recovery, so I was able to keep TWRP without having to disable that. That made it a lot easier to root since I just needed to flash the Superuser ZIP after I was up and running. Kreeblah fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Sep 7, 2012 |

Maybe it's just me, but the new Galaxy Nexus radios seem to have helped. I used to pretty much universally get signal strengths of around -106dBm, but since I upgraded on Thursday, it seems to sit at around -96dBm. It's still horrible, I know, but it does seem to be an improvement.

It was usable for general internet , but for instance my hotel was downtown and I got 100-200KB down. I could not stream video on my phone anywhere I went. Yeah, that's about what I meant. 1mbit/s to 2mbit/s. I probably wouldn't try streaming video on it unless you have a WiMAX phone, though. There it's more like 10mbit/s to 14mbit/s (or, it was when I last had one). As far as location goes, I spend most of my time in Bellevue and the Seattle business district, so that's where most of my experiences are. I do know that WiMAX coverage is quite good in the area, though. A friend of mine was able to use his NS4G on it as his primary connection for a couple months without any problems.

nikosoft posted:I switched my preferred network mode over to LTE a few months back after I got my S3 and I don't think I have ever seen the LTE notification come up. Like, ever, no matter where I go. This is in northern California (not Bay Area), east Portland, Seattle, Las Vegas, Orange County and I'm now in Missoula, where Sprint 3G doesn't even seem to exist. Am I just incredibly unlucky to always be somewhere that doesn't have LTE, or could something be seriously wrong with my phone? There are only a few areas that have it right now. So, I wouldn't say you're unlucky, but odds are you are never anywhere that has it. I'm pretty sure it's even worse than WiMAX coverage at the moment.

Flashed back to 4.1.1. Now I get what all the GSM people have bitched about. Good lord. I'm really starting to feel like I dodged a bullet here. I don't really use Bluetooth, so I'm not affected by the broken homebrew implementation Google used in 4.2, but I also haven't been bitten by any of the other weird issues like that since I installed the update a couple weeks ago. I've still got my 4.1.1 backup, though, just in case.
