[Q] Boost Your 4g WiMax Signal: Samsung Nexus S CDMA???? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

http://www.talkandroid.com/28577-boost-your-4g-wimax-signal-in-samsung-epic-4g/
I've used this method on my Evo and Epic and both worked perfectly but now I'm a Nexus S owner and want to do the same thing. The issue I'm having is on the Nexus once I'm into the data programming area I can't find were to edit the Wimax settings. Maybe someone out there can help me with this????
Thanks in advance

[Q] Oovoo

So i downloaded oovoo from the market only to find that its not supported on the Infuse. And their site doesnt have it as an upcoming supported device either. How hard would it be for someone to get it to work on the Infuse? And who wants to do it? Id be forever grateful and im sure a lot of others would as well.

If you're rooted, you can change the build.prop file. (/system/build.prop)
Change the line ro.product.model=samsung SGH-i997 to
ro.product.model=SGH-T959V (no samsung in front) then reboot, it should work.

Why does oovoo keep disconnecting or logging out. It also doesn't stay connected when switching wifi to data

It randomly logs me out sometimes when I don't know why but I just deal with it. OOVOO says they're developing for the infuse on their page, but I'm just gonna use this until then.
Ok, this is my first time using oovoo. So this is not normal? Its supposed to stay connected all the time and thru data changes?
I think qik is better. Its always ready to receive as long as its not killed

[Q] Data stops until I go in and out of airplane mode, how do I fix this?

Data works great on this phone, except for the fact that several times a day, maybe once every 2 hours, the data connection simply stops working. I can get it back by putting the phone into airplane mode, and then back again, but nothing else works.
If I try to go to a web page when the data is out, I get redirected to some web2go thing telling me I should buy some plan.
In my Mobile Network Settings I have the "Enable always-on mobile data" but don't see anything else that might help fix this.
Anybody have any ideas of what is going on, or better yet how to fix it?
I don't have the answer to your actual question.
However, if you don't want the Web2Go page you can change the User Agent on your browser from Android to Desktop.

I occasionally have the same issue, though mine only seems to do it on the transition from wifi to cellular. Sometimes toggling airplane works, sometimes not. Mine has always done that even stock. Oh, and it still does it even on your rom, undeadk9.
One other issue i've noticed is the wifi calling icon will randomly disappear and come back in about 20 seconds. I've only noticed this on SOC3.6, I don't know if 3.5 had this issue as I was testing virtuous when that was the latest. It hasn't caused any issues like dropped calls yet, but just a concern that it may.

I didn't! I'm behind in the forums and I'm on an old version of your ROM. I'll go look for that and get myself updated to the latest.
Well, it turns out that didn't help. I installed v3.5.0 and v3.6.0 patch and then turned on the data and waited...
An hour or so later it happened again
If I go to the browser on the phone it redirects me to a page that says:

Well someone needs to hurry up and release the source already. Anyone wanna start a donation thread to encourage progress?
Yep..... t-mobile was the problem. Once I got through their first line of support and they opened "something that we call a trouble ticket", things got fixed up nice.
You know if we could nandroid backup our life, do a dalvik-cache wipe, battery stats wipe, we'd be set, except who would do the nandroid restore?

[Q] turn off 4g on verizon?

Is there a way to switch off 4g on the verizon SGIII and leave on the 3g to save some battery?
I don't want to turn off mobile data completely but i can't find how to turn off 4g like on the galaxy nexus.
I'm looking for the same feature as well. I haven't been able to find it yet. I've been having issues with the phone not having a data connection while on 4g. 3g works fine and i'd like to force it to drop from 4g to 3g.
I called VZW and their technicians were stumped that there was no way to disable the 4g radio in the settings. They were also confused as to why I get wifi notifications when the wifi is turned off (thanks verizon. I pay for unlimited data and i get nagged to use wifi).
if verizons is like sprints it eould be under settings-> more settings-> mobile networks and switch it from cdma/lte to cdma
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Use the app called Phone Info (free in the market) Open it and choose device settings. Scroll down and click in the box with the arrow in the lower right corner and select whatever reception you want.

so is it just "cdma only" that we want using the phone info program or something else? there's a ton of option in the drop down.

Argh....I flashed back to stock, and still no 4G. I even took the SIM card out for a few minutes and reseated it. This is frustrating. I checked my other phone, the trusty old Thunderbolt and it has 4G. I thought that there may have been an issue since we had heavy storms, but if that old clunker gets it, then the SG3 should. Also, mom came over with her Nexus and her 4G is working as well.

Called Verizon Tech Support (besides being upgraded to the 20GB Data Share plan), and there's something wonky with my SIM card. Need to go get a new one tomorrow. Oh well....I won't use that tool again.

You can use the latest version of qpst to load a prl, cdma tools was a no go. If using qpst, it will give you a error right after you press write prl, ignore it and reboot your gs5 and prl will be all loaded. Rocking 3g roaming now.

The S5 has huge software bugs and big issues with the Airwave. It seems to suffer from the same 800mhz bug that the iPhone had. Sprint had to deprioritize 800mhz SMR to fix.

BTW - root is required and I only tested it on the stock ROM.
