Yeap! stupid me had the use only 2g option selected when taking pics. Waiting for my GF to come by tomorrow to do a nice vid.
You will not need to send phone anywhere and it is working on latest update.
It will be a paid service so will not be posted on forums unless XDA allows me to like how they do for the HTC unlockers...
Only like 5 bucks and free to FRM donators...not much...last I am speaking about it so I do not get in trouble with XDA

If I ever decide to get the droid 2 global over the desire z, I will definitely pay 5 bucks for this.
The only thing stooping me to getting a D2G is battery life

so awesome!! I would love this, so it should be as simple as a flash? I would deff pay for this!
If we already have the new update for the global would it still work to flash this rom?
We also have to already have it network unlocked with the subsidy code right?

How do I become an FRM donator and help fund this awesome development?

You go to the team defuse website and they have a link on how to donate, and they also keep you updated with news there
Sent from my WICKED FAST Droid 2 Global with fission using XDA app

lol this is not right..now I got go back to D2G from the DX after going to the DX from the D2G ..
I swear, my poor return warranty...is battery life any better yet? Especially on fission? and does it work on T-Mobile also?

well i cant wait! i hope XDA allows you to post this even though you are charging $5 for it. i'm going to buy a d2g as soon as this is released!
i cant wait for this! my only question is are there any random restarts on fission?
PS: the baseband is fully unlocked? (im on a milestone right now so i have no real idea about the d2g)

Can someone tell they will release that work for tmobile? And I have the phone but I can't activate it. When I call verizon they say I need to call my provider tmobile to activate it. Do anyone the same? Please help

Will this also work on the Droid Pro?

I'm sure it won't be long till they have a version of the Pro, but it seems that the Global is a priority.

Is the T-mobile in the US? If so, the phone doesn't support T-mobile 3G bands anyway.

So if this is the patch released on FRM then it appears to not work with T-Mobile USA as I just tried it without success.

I would really like to see the evidence that this works at all.
A couple of screenshots with no data connection showing is hardly convincing.
I am well aware that it is possible to do, I have it working on my D2G with both T-Mobile and AT&T SIMs with Edge on T-Mobile and Edge,3G and HSPA all working on AT&T using the DroidBandUnlock method.
Their method makes modifications to the radio and I don't see how it is possible to do this via system level patches.

u t-mobile fans got the G2 already and the price is not expensive at all ....
get that one and quit complaining

[MOD] Using Skyrocket on T-mobile/AWS Bands

So a lot of people have been PM'ing me in regards to this matter.
There are also a couple of threads lingering around in the General section on both the t-mobile and skyrocket forums which brush on the topic but don't really go into the details.
I decided to post this here as a MOD.
Yes the Skyrocket will support HSPA+/3g on T-mobiles network. How do I know this? I had one and was using it on t-mobile with no problem.
There are a couple radios you can flash to get HSPA+ on the skyrocket:
T-mobile SGH-T989 KID: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#1
T-mobile SGH-T989 VK1: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#4
Telus KJ3: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#2
Here is the Stock Skyrocket radio: http://minus.com/mlupRDTvJ#3
Depending on where you are located/what bands your operator uses I would assume one of these radios would work better than the other.
On a side note a lot of people have just "claimed" that the skyrocket doesn't pick up hspa+. This is not true, it does but you will have to figure out the right ROM/Kernel/Radio combination. I experienced intermittent connectivity on certain skyrocket kernels while running a T-mobile radio etc. Either way I ALWAYS had the ability to connect to hspa+. Most often I would get speeds of between 3-7mbps. I personally used VK1.
When it comes down to the bottom line though, the skyrocket is essentially the same device as the galaxy s2 but with LTE.
IF this helped please hit the thanks button!

I am also using my skyrocket on T-Mobile. I have Juggernaut/Faux 009/VKL1 combo. So far it has been the best combo for me where I get 3-7mbps. The only problem I have it slow upload speeds. Not just for this combo but for all the combos i tried. I am only getting 50-100kbps upload speeds. Any idea why?
*just a heads up, multiupload has been down for weeks already, might wantto change the download links.

unlikely
i777 have completely different hardware.
But, what you need exactly (ROM, baseband) and why you need it?
if you need your i777 work better on t-mo network, try flash i9100 modems, may be it'll help.
If there will be problems, you may flash back i777 modem
PS: do not forget to make nandroid backup before flashing

Thanks for the suggestion, I never thought about that, will try it out!

Does anyone know if the AT&T Galaxy Note ROMs can be flashed on our phone? The Bell Galaxy Note (also LTE) comes with AWS HSPA+ and LTE out of the box... if it also has the MDM9200 chip and if the radios could be flashed on our phones, this could enable LTE, AT&T 3G, and AWS HSPA all at the same time!

I would assume not due to the resolution etc but the radios....quite possible they could

It works perfectly ! thank you so much ... !! It changes to 4G speed (4G Icon).

T-Mobile Exists Outside the USA !!!!

A plea to all American T-Mobile users...
Since American users started taking delivery of their handsets on or around 24 April, these forums have exploded with users talking about The T-Mobile Version of the phone.
Could you all please bear in mind that T-Mobile exists in other countries outside the USA? If you are referring to the US version of the phone, please specify (US) in your postings! I keep reading that The T-Mobile Version only comes in Grey [Gray if you prefer] and has bloatware problems. I have a T-mobile handset, it is black and doesn't have bloatware...
If you specify (US) in your postings, it will allow those of us from outside the USA to avoid those threads specific to your version of the phone.
Thanks in advance...

While I can see your frustration, the two phones are identical in terms of hardware and software, so aside from the posts you mentioned, what is the point in differentiating?

Oh? the non-US Tmobile phones don't have the bloat? cool.

I bet we haz more bloat than you!

They are infact not identical in terms of software or hardware.

HTC ONE S T-MO US:

Isn't it mostly USA carriers that insist on their own special versions of phones? Partly I suppose that's our horrible method of distributing wireless spectrum, but it seems like the carriers here have an attitude problem beyond that.

As an owner of a German T-Mobile branded one S I can confirm the existence of bloatware.
Therefore I unlocked the bootloader and used Superboot to be able to deactivate not needed apps.
BTW: I have the black one but with original HTC logo and not T-Mobile

I have a us T-Mobile one s and I have flashed all the international roms and they all worked fine these phones are the same. The international housing will for on the T-Mobile and vise versa T-Mobile adding their bloat doesn't mean its different software the internals of the phones are identical that's all that matters

Just to be clear for others who don't want to go down the unlock and root path, it's not necessary to do this to "deactivate" unwanted apps. You can do this in the manage apps options on stock unrooted One S.
Apps will disappear from memory, take up no processor time, bandwidth or battery, and disappear from the app drawer. They will still, however, take up internal storage.
The advantage rooting gives you is that you can actually delete the unwanted app from the internal memory also.

There are a few more differences in the software. TmoUS software has the WiFi Calling feature baked in and the Tether checks your data plan and redirects you to a Tmo webpage to sign up if you don't have the additional cost feature enabled.

GSM Version?

Quick question, Will there be an GSM version of the Photon Q LTE? with removable SIM?
I'm talking about a different variant

the codename for the photon q is the asanti_c, there is a lot of reason to believe a gsm friendly version will come out that will be called just the asanti.

Correct.
It is codename Asanti and the model is XT898. Right now I know it will be for AT&T, but usually you can get an unlock codes for other carriers.
Code:

_._._.XT898.ATT.en.US

As long as the carrier allows them it should. Seeing as AT&T is the reason behind the Atrix HD not being unlocked, (hardware/software support it, just not the Unlock My Device page), I'd say the chance is slim.

There should be international version of the phone, from what I know (I don't know about AT&T version).

There should be one if only for the fact that this is the first high end QWERTY device I have seen in ages

I fixed that bug the day I got my glide, just replaced the APK from the one on OsiMood, and we already have an ICS Update, you have to plug your phone on a PC, start Kies, and search for updates.
I don´t want to be disrespectful, but judging by your answer, I think that Angry Birds may be a little too complicate for your mental capacity, maybe you should try Pong, more apropiated for someone of your generation.

Hello, I just upgraded my epic 4g touch to the nexus 5 on sprint. I was wondering if there were any differences between the sprint model and any other nexus 5. Can I flash any ROM on the forum? Is there anything I have to worry about with apns, kernels or modems? And I heard that people had to order sim cards seperately. Is this still true with the 16gb white model? Thanks for the help. I've been around sprint CDMA phones for a while, but this unlocked sim cardiness is all new to me lol

You would only need a Sim card if you went to T-Mobile or At&t.
I didn't know that Sprint gave out the nexus 5 for two years on contract, considering its a contract free phone. But it will definitely last you two years. I don't really foresee some game changing features coming out with phones in the coming year (s5, HTC one m8) and you will have the best support by developers so you will always have the latest android version.

"CAF is a custom Linux kernel branch in place to support Qualcomm hardware. By using a potentially heavily customized kernel (while AOSP Android uses the main Linux kernel), custom kernel developers will have to effectively maintain two separate instances of their customizations."

Thanks a lot

I'm also on Sprint. Here's what you need to do, when you get the phone just make sure the uicc (sim) card is in the phone so you can fully activate it. Otherwise you won't be able to get LTE. If you don't have it just go to a store and get one. That's it. All nexus 5 are the same, so feel free to dive into any sort of rom you like. If you do, make sure unlocking the bootloader is the first thing you do. You don't want to set the phone up all nice then have to do it all over again because it gets wiped when unlocking the bootloader.

With contract.. Meaning, whoever is paying the bill is paying for the phone in the monthly fees.
