Hi,
Does the Nexus 4 work well on bmobiles 4g?
From what i reading is a 3g phone running on hspa+, which to be honest I aint sure I know what that means. From what ive read bmobile is not a true 4g (?) or not the most advanced (not LTE)? I did speak with a bmobile agent and they really werent any help!
Thanks peps

yeah all u need is a 3g phone with the correct bands to get tstt '4g'. hspa or hsdpa works just fine. or rather as fine as tstt limited service provides. the rates suck and it's only a marginally noticeable speed increase from edge if u ask me unless u in a 3g hotspot area of which there are few and far between.
does anyone actually get a 4g symbol on tstt?

The difference is much faster than edge. You must live in the bush.

Thank you folks, allyuh does respond real fast!

:rofl:
on digicel the speeds are quite good anywhere i go. Except unless i go inside a well covered/insulated building. And unless you are running an AT&T or carrier modded firmware, HSPA will always be detected as an H on android. You'll only see 4G if you have carrier touched firmware or a package that will affect the way the phone displays HSPA eg. a theme also.

Truth.
Gf has an at&t s3 and sees 4G

Galaxy S4 launch happening by early April, New Zealand contest seems to reveal



Samsung Galaxy S4 rumors continue to abound and this time around we’re looking at a leak that seems to indirectly confirm that the Galaxy S4 will be available to customers in early April.

An internal contest at a mobile retailer in New Zealand reveals that the handset could be launched by April 8, with the handset being one of the prizes offered to all winners.


The contest happens to end on April 8, so it only seems logical to see the Galaxy S4 in stores by that time, in order for it to be awarded to winners. However, the leaked documents do not specify when the prizes will be given.

Furthermore, the docs do say that all winners will go to an event in Auckland in late May, so who’s to say that they’ll get the Galaxy S4 units before that particular event? Naturally, we expect the Galaxy S4 to hit various stores by late-May.



Will the handset hit carriers in early April? That seems possible, especially considering that competitors like Sony and HTC will already have their flagship devices in stores by that time.


Existing rumors suggest that the handset is going to be unveiled at a special U.S.-based Mobile Unpacked event that will take place in March, with the device expected to be released in the following month. So an early April release date is not out of the question, at least for some markets, although today’s leak can’t really confirm that.

yup pretty much a hack to force displaying the 4g icon lmao. i believe at&t are running the same setup as tstt so the handset has the hack embedded to pass 3.5g as 4g lol

Long press on the item, click 'export' then you should see Sdcard as an option

been having a ball with android icon customizing. just changed a few of my default icons. check out tapatalk trinituner style, in dedication to the 2 day long site outage that happened earlier today leaving us all stranded.

the app dock contains a customized app dock. red dragons dock button illuminates to launch the app drawer courtesy go launcher ex.

Hey guys, does anyone have a non working S2 that they are willing to part with? I need some parts urgently! PM me please.

[Jonathan_337]

^^^ YES ENT

this one rite: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... 2hlcjgiXQ..

is very stable and nice

oh and it's ad free

You don't find it to be a tad laggy?

not in the least! what device are you using?

X2

Currently using a S3. I flashed it Friday with a new ROM [was stock before] so I'll retest and let you know. The lag was very minute though. The actual launcher had less lag than a REAL windows 8 phone I used today, low end one though. Lumia 610 or something so.


Friday gone I had some time on my hands and I flashed a ROM, stock based but many additional tweaks, Omega and it's working pretty smooth so far. You guys should check it out.

After flashing Omega, I used Omega Files to remove the V6 Supercharger mod and then flashed this - - - >

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1888081

It TOTALLY fixes the multitasking. I had temple run 2 open, switched to dead trigger.. Had some intense shoot outs and back to temple run resuming exactly where it left off with no reloading. To top it off, all my tabs remained open on Dolphin browser beta.

If you're gonna try this, make sure to remove the supercharger mod as it causes A LOT of random reboots. I've had ONE lockup since I removed it but otherwise smooth sailing. Just waiting for it to settle in. Battery life is good too. I must admit though, the mod doesn't seem to agree with chrome. I don't experience reloads with chrome but chrome causes the phone to lag a lot. I'm assuming it's very memory intense. But Dolphin browser Beta works very nicely. Hope this helps some of you guys!

Y'all think we getting any new tablets this year?

Hey guys, does anyone have a non working S2 that they are willing to part with? I need some parts urgently! PM me please.

I have one with a non-working wifi chip so it needs a mainboard replacement. Sent it to the states and the authorised shops say it is not feasible to repair based on cost (still in the states and may sell it to one of those cash for phones sites).

It works just overheats and shuts down, everything else is intact and in great shape.

How much you offering?

[sentraman]

I think Samsung coming with the tab 3, and a note 8" and a new note 10.1

Yeh its really smooth and unlike AOKP or CM10 you keep all your Samsung stuff. I would like to attempt a dual boot with something a bit different eventually though.

How's the smoothness of AOKP and multi tasking and stuff vs a Samsung based ROM? I've always wanted to try one but I know they're generally somewhat buggy :/

[S_2NR]

using resurrection remix ics stable and not a single problem whatsoever. have this and siyah kernel months now. not a single issue and smooth as ever. and every single feature you would ever need.

the jb version not stable yet so holding off on updating for now cause i want stability over anything else.

Fellas do certain roms cause any parts of the screen to become unresponsive? Or would it be the digitizer itself?
