Develop Bugs

I have a need some advise ?

I dropped my phone outside Walmart the other day and now a day later my vibrate isnt working do I need to take it in or wat i should do ?

Physical damage (done by you dropping it) is not covered under the warranty. Your only choices are to pay the insurance deductible (if you have insurance), or buy another evo on ebay or somewhere.

Dude said it all.

Hey man,
Yes It sucks vibrate doesnt work but it might be easier and cheaper just to live with it till you get an upgrade! Now if you have TEP, you will have to pay the deductible because you broke it yourself, if you are rooted that means unrooting of course! but besides that you really dont have any options.

Thanks guys Im just gonna wait till the ltes come out beside this phone is tuff Cuzco this is like the forth time I've dropped it on concrete.

What did you do the other 3x

If you were on verizon, it would be a simple phone call..
"hi.. my vibrate stopped working.. no clue why.."
"ok sir.. we will have a replacement out to you tomorrow".
Done.
Oh, and its "advice"

I dunno.. I get 1400 min a month, 10 unlimited min numbers I can call, unlimited text, and truly unlimited data , 2 phones , for 160 a month. My buddy on att has a similar plan. And pays about the same.. its really not that bad. It's not like att is half price or something.
Oh you said sprint.. they have good plans.. but their network could use work. There is no comparison between vzw 4gLTE and sprints WiMAX.

You can't compare the two...
LTE is an evolution of 3g where as wimax is basicly a highspeed broadband wireless network ie your home wifi over the states. Obviously you know which will win but for the price sprint is still better. Last time I was on vzw I paid 250$ month for two phones and the cheapest plan they had now paying that for unlimited for 2 4g phones and 2 other 3g phones.
Done and over...this isn't who is the best wireless carrier this is about "advice" on what steps should be taken to get a phone that was dropped replaced/fixed.

dude
if there is no physical damage showing their is no need to tell sprint that you dropped the phone, just tell them the vibrate stopped working and see what they can do for you(if you have insurance) or not?!

Its likely hardware, as you are probably aware. You could give it a good shake. My evo stopped working, I took it apart and air cleaned the board and put it back together. I replaced the battery and havent an issue since.

Straight Talk BYOP Working with locked SGS2

Just wanted to jump in, and let anyone know, that my locked to tmobile SG2 running Dark Slide works 100% with Straight Talk's new Bring Your Own Phone.
I even ported my number, took 4 hours for everything including data to be working 100%, and I am still getting 4G speeds.
And my phone is still locked to tmobile.
Hope this helps.

Wait you still get 4g? How? Straight talk doesn't offer any 4g plans.

Please be kind enough to post a speed test

I'm a little n00b at straight talk, but do they offer unlimited data or something?

Sorry, Ive been busy.
Average results for speed....
Now, keep in mind, im in the middle of nowhere in north texas, so standing in the living room might get better than going outside, or 3 feet to the left..

5.33 1.16

6.55 3.44
so, it is all over the place, but then again I am a 1000 miles from nowhere, next time I go to say, Mkinney, or even the Plano area, Ill probably get the 21+ speeds. Also, I flashed the Blaze Modem, switched to the WCDMA settings, just kinda messing around for now to see what I may get, Ive never really monitored my speeds while on TMO, phone is always connected wifi at home, and even then, ill use my tablet, so data doesnt matter to me.
Voice and SMS/MMS are flawless, and that matters to me.

So can the phone roam on att towers?

I heard they only give you about 3gb of data but I'm considering it now since they have unlimited everything for $45 and I have had a tendency to eat my 100 minutes these past two months.

I just ported my number tonight. I gave up lte for a 45 a month plan. I switched to att in 08 for the iphone 3g. I paid 70 unlimited talk, 30 unlimited data, 5 for 200 texts add taxes around 120. 120×12=1440 a year opposed to 45×12=540. That's a 900 savings a yr. I can buy a phone with no contract with what I save. I'll give up lte speed for 900, I still get 4g with around 2-3 mbps download and 1 mbps upload. I'm on wifi at home and even if I do a little tethering on my cm9 touchpad at work I wont go over straight talks watchful eyes for people who have 4-10 gb of data usage a month. I definitely broke the att shackles tonight and have no complaints. Even if someone has to pay back early termination fees you have to do the math and see if you're still saving over a year or two. 1440 a year ×2= 2880; 540×2= 1080 for 2 years of a contract I will have saved 1800.

GNexus on Tmo and speeds?

Hello everyone.
I'm on sprint now on referral plan with gs2, love the phone, hate service. But, since I pay next to nothing, was toughing it out for a while. Can not anymore, getting worse day by day and Nv is crap!
Anyways, I used to have tmobile and loved it, very fast data ans I like the idea of hspa+.
My question, however, is about galaxy nexus and tmobile hspa42. From the looks of it, their hspa+42 network is live here in Colorado, but the unlocked galaxy nexus only supports hspa+21? So, I'm guessing that is a pretty big deal as I won't be able to get the performance I could with another device that does support hspa+42?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

You are correct that the nexus does not support the hspa 42 network. I think the galaxy s2 on tmobile does, that's why they went with the snapdragon instead of the exynos or ti omap.
I personally don't think it is a reason to go with a "42" device over a nexus device. Users have posted their speedtest scores and they generally look good.
Not sure if this answers your question.

True, but is that a pretty big jump in speed when on hspa42? Real world performance I mean, I know that on paper hspa42 can reach potential speeds of 28-30mbps, I'm guessing it never has though.
Anything is better than <300kbps I get now on sprint. Even on 4g it is about 800-1.5mbps.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I cannot comment on the hspa 42 speeds myself but if that is a bigger deal than the true nexus experience go with a t-mobile galaxy s2. It's a great phone, but stock its still on gingerbread. Don't think I could go back to that personally.

You know how Google has it on sale unlocked for $400? I see that they only have grey, eBay has new ones which are unlocked in white. Would all those also work good on hspa+21 that tmobile has? I'm guessing they are all same but different color?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I'm using the white gnex on tmo. I previously used a tmo sgs2. The gnex is compatible with the hspa21 network & sgs2 with the hspa42. That being said, these are theoretical peak speeds aka not what you're actually going to get. There is no difference between speeds on my gnex or the sgs2. Both have reached up to 15mbps with full bars of service. This is in westchester, NY.

All i9250 are the same. They're all 21mbps HSPA+.
The speed difference between 42mbps and 21mbps radios in the real world isn't very big. The real-world max speeds you'll see on 21 are like ~11mbps, whereas on 42 you'll maybe peak at ~17mbps. All dependent on tons of factors.
You won't be dissatisfied with 21mbps device on T-Mobile. The speeds are great.

Yes. 100 minutes means 100 minutes. No frills.
My speeds are in the range of ~5-7mbps down / 2-4mbps up.

I had a GS2 and sold it for 330 on CL and bought this phone. I get the same data speeds on this phone as the GS2. Sure the GS2 can get 42 but I never broke 20 and I had the phone for a year. The only draw back with the nexus is the screen. I got a small scratch the first day I had it (hoping an xo skin will cover it up). I never had a protector on the S2 and never had a scratch. Go with the nexus you wont be disappointed.

I'd have to get the $70 plan, 100 minutes wouldn't cut it, nor 2g of data. Hmm, that means I'd have to pay $70 more than I so now.

I also have the Galaxy Nexus which I bought from Google a couple of days ago paired with T-Mobile's Monthly4G plan ($30 unlimited text/data + 100 minutes)
With the app called "talkatone", all you really need is unlimited data + google voice to get unlimited talk + texting services for free.
But currently, on this plan my speed is
about 3 Mbps up/down using XXLA2 baseband (which was the stock baseband installed on the phone when I got it from Google)

Chicago (Northwest suburbs LTE) live!!

Guys--
Live in northwest suburbs outside chicago and have LTE signal out of nowhere. Specifically Bartlett,IL next to elgin/st charles/carol stream. I cant run a solid speedtest since it locks up when it checks for upload speed but got 6meg down with less than 70 millisecond times. It was going in and out im assuming from testing but it seems more consistent as i type this. Will upload speedtest results if it stops locking up.

When we were without service last month for a day Sprint told me they were adding lte to all the towers. It hard to believe anyone because nobody knows when there gonna flip the switch for sure. Sprint could of handled this better by not telling people next month or in August because the Sprint reps are consistently telling people anything to shut them up, they could have been like we're not sure and leave it at that. I wouldn't mind waiting if 3g was really 3g like on T-Mobile or [email protected] but it's really slow and unusable. I would never in my life consider there service worthy of a smartphone . I can't even stream a two minute video on YouTube it's ridiculous. This is the main reason people are so impatient ,I'm new to Sprint only a month in but i can't believe people been with these slow speeds so long, i would of jump ship along time ago. No lte by october then im off to Verizon or [email protected] where i can use my phone in a productive manor.

Actually, Samsung (the OEM) is handling the actual NV upgrades, and they've fallen a bit behind schedule from where they should be. I'm pretty sure those towers were probably originally scheduled for July, but got bumped back like a lot of them have. Sprint's really just waiting on Samsung and the backhaul providers to get everything going before they can finish it up and green light the tower.

Part of the reason why you're getting such slow 3g speeds is BECAUSE of the lack of 4g. When every single smart phone user is only using 3g, (and has unlimited data) is slows the network for everyone. Once lte is up and running we'll see speed increases in 3g as well. Just wait it out. Sprint is hands down the best deal in wireless, has great customer service, awesome phones, and unlimited data. The speed will come.

What's the next LTE Android phone for T-Mobile?

I was thinking of getting another phone soon to replace my crappy Sensation and from my brief research, the GS3 may or may not have it in the hardware to support T-Mobile's upcoming LTE network. With the One X+ cancelled, am I only left with the GNote 2? I'm really not trying to carry that big of a phone around . Will there be any announcements by T-Mobile in the upcoming months to release phones for the holiday season? I'm keeping my fingers crossed . Thanks in advance for any insight or details.

The T-Mobile S3 will NOT connect to their future LTE network. The Note 2 probably won't either. Their LTE network is even close to ready to begin rolling out.

The note 2 is the closest one to get lte it pass by fcc by 1900aws and 700(Verizon band), they were rumors of tmobile making arrangements with Verizon so we probably get it then (if you have a supported device) having said that I don't worry I get up to 24 mbps on tmobile and love it, I use 20GB last month with unlimited so ain't going anywhere for a while

I couldn't agree more. I've seen very impressive speeds from 4G on SGS3... While I'm sure getting 30-60 mbps down (seems average on other LTE networks) is really cool, its more of a signature spec - or bragging spec... 10mbps+ on 4G is plenty fast for me, especially considering I've been using an iPhone on T-mobile for years stuck on 2G EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4G is like LUDACRIS SPEED for me (anyone? spaceballs? anyone???)

On Verizon's LTE, I pulled on average 15-25mbps. It peaked out at about 30. On T-Mobile's Faux-G, I pull on average 10-20 mbps. I peak out at about 25.
LTE is not noticeably better in any way other than speed tests. Latency had been about 100ms for both as well. Primary difference had been LTE outages on Verizon seemed to last 12-72 hours whereas HSPA+ outages on T-Mobile seem to last 30-600 seconds.

S3 it is. I've seen some hovering around $350 in my area so that will do. I just can't stand this HTC Sensation and the reboots any longer. Thanks all for the replies.

You have to be careful. If they're going to file an insurance claim on it. Your phone will be blacklisted

I couldn't agree more. I've seen very impressive speeds from 4G on SGS3... While I'm sure getting 30-60 mbps down (seems average on other LTE networks) is really cool, its more of a signature spec - or bragging spec... 10mbps+ on 4G is plenty fast for me, especially considering I've been using an iPhone on T-mobile for years stuck on 2G EDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4G is like LUDACRIS SPEED for me (anyone? spaceballs? anyone???)

30-60 is average? I've never seen anyone around here go faster than 22 mbps and in that context, my GS3 gets 15-16. The difference isn't very large at all.

First of all don't get T-mobile their HSPA+ Network gives me 0-0.50Mbs around all Brooklyn, even if signal is below -60dBm

Any way to prevent this from happening? Make a phone call before buying? Call tmob customer service?
By the way, since the Note 2 will be coming out by the end of this month or maybe early November, I think a lot of people will try to dump their GS3 to upgrade. Will craigslist prices lower? I'm seeing 300-350 on average right now.
