Lurker/noob question(s) here:
Can anyone tell if there is any hacking of the new T-mobile wi-fi calling app that will trickle its way to the myTouch 3G 3.5mm/Magic handset?
Maybe a more appropriate question might be, once we upgrade to version 2.2 (via official T-mo update or root), is this something that might either be inherent to the new OS or will it be something that can even run on this phone?
I see a lot of technical stuff with it going on over in the Vibrant and Nexus One forums, but I am hoping that this will make its way to some of the other T-mo phones.
Thanks in advance.
We had 2.2 ROMs around here for quite a while, and the T-Mo official one came out about twenty days ago.

Ok, so lately my family has been considering switching over to Cell South (we live in mississippi) due to ATT being hardasses about switching my dads phone over to his business account.
Cell south has the Galaxy S phones available, and its currently the leading phone they offer that i'm interested in, followed next by HTC desire.
From everything that i've gathered, they are not updating their android phones to 2.2 until sometime early next year. the Froyo update is one of the main reasons ive been wanting to switch to something over my iphone. Wifi tethering being the leading reason. I know this is doable with apps and a rooted phone.
From what i've gathered, i might be able to update it, but i might have to manually input the carrier info into the phone? Is there a way to tell for sure if this will need to be done? If anyone else happens to be on Cellular Souths network who had delt with updating their phones, i would love some help/info, or if anyone can point me the way, i'd be quite grateful.
I've just been taking in so much info about these phones over the past few days its starting to get a bit fuzzy in areas.
Also, is Rooting these devices the same as any other, regardless of which network you are on?
And just another quick Galaxy question, im not sure im crazy about the "touch-wiz" interface samsung has, and i think i would much rather be using the standard android UI. Is this something you can do by default on the phones, or do you have to do some of the rooting/other customizing things on it?
Thanks to anyone with any amount of information. getting excited to get away from apple.
You can change the input settings without rooting the phone. Z4mod on market is the best and easiest rooting method. Phidelt82 released a custom rom for the cs galaxy a few days ago. If you do get one and need any help pm me up.

Hi all! I live in Argentina and I want to buy a Captivate either in USA or Canada (can do both). The reason is they are $200 cheaper there. Yes, i know.
Well, the question is which Captivate to get, the i897 or the i896 (Rogers). I believe there are no GPS issues with the Rogers version but I'm not sure if one can use the custom roms from the i897 on it, and if the gps still works fine when the rom is changed.
I'd really like to be able to use the gps.
Please help me decide...
Its going to be hard to find an answer since most people here only have one or the other however i can say this
I bought mine from rogers and had absolutely no problems with the gps
I then installed a gingerclone rom which is 2.2 and there were no problems with the gps
I also upgraded to the 2.2 froyo ATT using odin and still no gps issues :S.
So basically... If your going to upgrade it to a rom you like, it should be fine
Get the rogers one if you don't want the ATT branding on the front of the phone. The rogers captivate only has the samsung logo on it.
Also the rogers captivate stock allows for side loading and mobile ap.

My biggest gripe right now is problems with unlocking the phone. I've read the forum but found that a lot of people report mixed experiences with this.
I believe they share the exact same radio bands, so you're free to choose. Anecdotally, it seems people are happier with the Rogers one... and many of them were probably built later (newer) than the AT&T ones which may help avoid some of the gremlins that early adopters have reported.
Yeah, but unlocking seems to be very hard and not at all a certainty...

Alright, so I'll start by saying I have already looked at the following 3 threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930008

So why am I bringing this up? Plain and simple, almost all the carriers in Canada have officially launched the Nexus S around mid-April of this year (both AWS and CDMA versions). All of these related threads have had no activity since before then. As a subscriber of Wind Mobile, I'll speak specifically for this carrier, however the information I hope to collect in this thread might be relevant to all our Canadian carriers.
Being factory unlocked, a lot of people have already brought the Nexus S into Canada prior to our carriers launching this device (myself included). Along with that, we've experienced a number of small issues regarding connectivity. The problem? More than likely, it's the radio. Issues with network selection, 3G data (APN's), and text messaging (SMSC settings). While there have already been workarounds and fixes noted for these problems (see threads linked above), they don't always work for everyone, and now that Wind has this device in their official lineup, maybe now we can find some relevant answers.
The question that comes to mind first and foremost, is what is the factory default radio that ships with the Wind Mobile version of the Nexus S? Wind had to have worked with Samsung and/or Google to bring this device to the carrier, so it's obvious that the technical departments worked on optimizing a radio to work best on the network. If we could find out exactly which baseband this is, that could help a lot of people. If required, we may also need a radio dump if one doesn't already exist for whichever version it is. Ontop of that, we should learn how the SMSC is set up from stock (however the radio alone might fix that as well).
Now to keep this thread open to all Canadians, let's gather the same information from all other Canadian carriers as well. Once we make some progress, I can update this OP with all the information gathered.
Your mission? Help us build a database of Canadian radios. If you have purchased your Nexus S from corporate stores since officially launching in Canada (not dealers/re-sellers - they could have imported them) and haven't modified your ROM and/or radio, your information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Does anyone have the CSC or radio for Wind?
Not one person?
So my wife has the NS4G and it has had intermittent problems with network connections since the day she purchased it. Full signal on both wifi and 3g...unable to connect to network. I imagine you're familiar with this problem.
If she swaps for another NS4G will the issue alleviate itself? Is there a rom out there that fixes this...currently running oICS. Any help or advice in getting a different phone from Sprint? It has been 6 months with this phone. They actually offered her a HTC Hero today...that's what got me enraged enough to get involved.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Try latest radio in 4g dev section (kL2). I've had excellent results with this radio.
Hello!
Is it possible to buy the following items and use them as a mobile hotspot boosting device?

I am grandfathered on verizon's unlimited data still and I am constantly traveling around California. Specifically my room and other remote areas I visit for work I can pull down decent 3g and sometimes 1 bar of LTE.
((( I purchased this item almost a year ago and used the SIM card in my phone to gain 4G signal then I connected to the network via WiFi. Everything worked fine but it was bothersome to continuously switch out my SIM card between devices so frequently whenever I couldn't take the hotspot with me. Seeing as the present situation I am involved with needs the older setup I had before; convenience is welcome.

So here I am trying to build a badass device and mount/carry in my bag while on the go.
Will the first parts I have listed above work? I am worried the boost in signal might not warrant the setup I have planned. Then again if it works as intended it could be extremely useful. Any incite is appreciated!
Furthermore, I have a software related question that could be an alternative solution to my problem.
-The ROM I am currently running is Gummy-M3.0-07-21-14-NIGHTLY-d2lte
-The Baseband version is I535VRUCML1.
Is there anyway having this firmware version is interfering with my reception?
The Gummy ROM is currently on Android 4.4.4. Is there a newer firmware I can flash to update the baseband to receive better signal?
Again thank you for reading and I hope to hear any advice or past experience that could potentially help me out!

Since your question isn't necessarily about a particular device, I recommend asking your question in the Accessories forum.
