Randy what carrier do you have?
GPS is more responsive. I'm hoping it fixes my call problems (I get soundwave voices when the call doesn't connect properly). Overall not too bad

It feels a little faster I'm on T-Mobile forget waiting for a over the air update just
do it manually its so easy its so easy feels good to have a phone that gets updates
Quicker then others

I updated manually. found a little colour change from 2.3.3 which was good. Gtalk is pretty goood, no lag at all.

You can finally delete your Tags now, btw.

I'm just glad that there is no more reboots. I do dislike the fact that Google did not address the laggy browser issue though.

Browser is still laggy, the colour has changed indefinitely( I cannot tell if it's for the better or worse, really hard to tell without a side by side comparison, someone with two Nexus S devices should do a comparison and post on here), GPS locks within 2-5 seconds much faster now, G Chat video is lag free however I have not tested on 3g with another Nexus S device, still no Facebook sync support, and no Chrome syncing. Overall I believe Google was smart to make this a small update, besides the fact that they launched Mobile G Video chat, that would have been smart tl put on the next version of Android, but they treated it as such a minor thing. Still the update just fixed bugs and added G Video, next update BETTER fix the keyboard though.

Ustream's GoLive just force close now. I think Tango and Fring also quit working. Still, the WiFi improvement and GTalk update made this worth while for me!

Oh no, I am gonna test Tango because I like it more than GTalk to do video calling to Android and iOS.

i have noticed 3 main differences.
improved the reception during calls
improved earpiece, the sound is louder and clearer
and a bug fix, some ppl who uses the european f/w have noticed the wording when you connect the usb as a mass storage, previously it always says usb connected on/off (forgot which one), whether it's enabled or not, now the wording is corrected.

I am unable to get facebook account synchronization to work.

I never seem to get H, but only 3G. I've just got this phone, looked up this forum, and upgraded to 2.3.4. On my previous phone (Desire), i used to get H at home, but only 3G now. Is this a common problem or just coz of 2.3.4?

You probably still get "H" but it's just showing the "3G" symbol. I had a Desire too before and my new Nexus S behaves just like yours, based on speeds I'm pretty sure to be on HSDPA though...

Thanks pullermann. Looking at the speeds, I agree that they look more like "H" than "3G". Was just a bit concerned..

The connection icon will say "3G" when you are connected to UMTS or HSPA. It will never say "H" unless you happen to be running custom firmware that has added that in.
EDIT: You can check network type by going to Menu > Settings > About phone > Status > Mobile network type. It will say either EDGE (2G), UMTS (3G), or HSDPA (also 3G).

Thats right, i'm running rooted stock have tried CM7 and with it i have a H showing, but not with stock image, there is only 3G but speed is H.

Evo and freedompop

Has anyone been able to get their Evo to connect to freedom pop?
I have changed the realm and Mac, just like the S2 phone, but to no avail.

It's probably possible if you have a wifi network set up with them as your isp. I don't know much about them, and I don't have FreedomPop availability anywhere near me, so I can't really help you. Sorry

did it work?
ant news on this post??

I have an old EVO 4G and considering it's a free service, I'll give it a shot when I get home.

I got it to work a few hours ago.
I had to revert to stock and then update profile.
Works though, I am also not in the coverage area. But I can make calls.

Thanks for the tip frogman, I had to update profile as well but it worked. Another note for others: The MSL password freedompop gave me during its setup instructions did not work, but updating profile afterwards did.
Here's a speed test on 4G in the Houston area. Not too shabby for a 100% free service!!
http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/653272762

I just flashed my old bedside Evo 4g (it's seriously been an alarm clock for months) back to Sprint from Cricket and activated it with FreedomPop. I bought it a couple years ago thinking it had a bad ESN and I could save a few bucks using it on Cricket. I would have never imaged that today I would be activating it for totally free service.
My alarm clock has just become highly capable off wifi again lol.
Crazy.
It's time to get back in to developing on this thing again.

Update: Seems to work nicely so far. The only things I'd note are that the VoIP is a tad slow. If I make a call in the same room with someone I notice about a 1 second delay between them actually talking and me hearing them on the phone. Also I really don't like the text messaging app. It cuts off part of the text message with the balloon graphic. Not sure if there's any way around that. It'd be nice if they'd hijack the default messaging app in the same way they did the phone app so it'd be truly seamless. But oh well, it is FREE.

Has anyone tried this with a non-stock ROM like Cyanogenmod?

i got it working, finally. i had to get my own msl unlock code.
Anyways, i just got the phone off of CL. I want to root it.
before i can root it, i need to unlock the bootloader, and it would factory reset the phone. Would the factory reset mess up the freedompop setup?
thanks

I just got my (retired) OG set up on this. Was pretty straightforward. Once the device is activated, you should be able to unlock/S-OFF/whatever. I'm about to check and see if it's possible to use a JellyBean ROM with it. It should be fine.

Works on CM10.1. And I can still use Google Voice for my other number through the native dialer, if I want. Very nice.

Any ROM should work, as long as you activate it on stock first. Once it's activated it should stay that way.
Keep in mind though that you lose WiMAX once you flash a non-Gingerbread ROM. Call quality did seem adequate over 3G, though (surprisingly).

Would someone mind sharing the search terms you used to find instructions on how to flash to Freedom pop? I've searched Google and even on Freedom pop's website. I'm willing to search, but just need a little help to get started.

EVO 3D doesn't work - I tried it. I think the EVO 4G might be the only phone they're supporting initially (since it's the one they offer). And you have to use the MEID DEC - HEX won't work.

Loading went well. Speed test over 1mb down. Made a test phone call... Unbelievable! This can't be real. Lol All, thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Yep, the only phone you can activate right now is the Evo 4G or the Evo design. Some people are having luck with the Galaxy SII, but it's not universal. Long thread here:

Is RoamControl fully working on the S4?

I was just wondering if roam control was working now on the Sprint Galaxy S 4. When I checked a few weeks ago people were still having issues.

I use it everyday flawlessly.

It didn't work for me. I had to return it. It would switch my radio off.

It is very hit or miss on whether it will work for you. Mine works so so. I hope that someday it will work 100%. I really miss the Evo LTE MeanBean rom that had force roam integrated into the rom and worked 100% of the time flawlessly. On the S4 it is kind of a .... hope it will work when I need it.

I'm running the 56015 PRL from here so I can get 3G service on Verizon when I go through a dead zone. I installed it a few weeks ago btw, I only installed RoamControl this morning.
So I finally rooted my phone last night and installed RoamControl this morning. So far it's working great - I'm able to switch between Automatic/Home/Roam and it's changing reliably. It's also much faster than my EVO 3D (retired 3 weeks ago) ever was but that's probably due to the faster phone.
I did have to reboot the phone, set RoamControl's phone selection to "None", set it back to Samsung S4, until it started working reliably. When I tried it just after installation it didn't do anything at all.

56015 prl and yes its been working great for me.

Does the phone need to be rooted to force roam?

Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much for this! I had been unable to get RoamControl to work since I got the S4, and went through radio updates and a few versions of RC. Simply setting the Phone Manufacturer to "None" and then back to "GS4" worked, and now I have solid control over roaming. Amazing...
EDIT: I spoke too soon. This technique got voice roaming/un-roaming working, but broke all data until a reboot... After which RoamControl was back to having no effect. What a bummer.

I'm running into the same situation: voice/sms are fine but data gets flaky or completely stops working until a reboot. I can live with that until the author can find a fix - my plan is to reboot after switching back to auto. I need RC infrequently so this is an acceptable tradeoff for what it can do.

Can't get LTE working on CM12.1

Hi, so today I have installed CM12.1 unofficial on my S5. I loved the rom, everything was perfect but I couldn't get LTE working. My Note 4 (N910c) gets 2 bars of indication in the same room, speed is 20mbs+. When I launch mobile data on S5, it takes long to estabilish connection, then only gets H+, and after several seconds it drops to 3G What can I do? CM is blazing fast compared to stock ROMs, but I can't imagine myself using 3G to YT/web etc... Help please! I have the newest modem/bl (BOC7).

I'm sure you've already checked your APN settings to be what your carrier advises. If not that is something to start with.
If you're on att,
Also look into your build.prop to add in/modify the following accordingly:
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A
ro.product.name=klteuc
ro.product.device=klteatt

I am not ATT, i'm from Poland so Soo.. weird situation today. I've been in city centre where LTE signal is pretty good. For like 3-4h it was constantly switching between 3G/H/H+, and suddenly it caught LTE. Now I am at home and it still connects to LTE, 2 bars just like in Note 4. I am pretty confused now. It seems that modem/kernel/APN are all right, maybe a kind of system trigger that "stabilizes" the signal? 3G/H+ has 5 bars here, LTE only 2. I have already put a tick to "LTE (preffered) in network options. How about this?
EDIT
Rebooted the phone, again, no LTE

Wow that is cool! I remember my CM12 used to constantly wobble between H/H+ and once I finally gave up messing with it and screen turned off for 15-20 minutes, I'd turn the screen back on and find myself on a 4G LTE signal (feeling great). Once I made a call it drops to 3G, which is normal, but after I'd hang up it wouldn't necessarily switch back to 4G any time soon.
So I gave edgarf28's XtreStoLite a shot and haven't looked back since! It is touchwiz based, but it is light, debloated, lighting fast, and it just works. I'm on XtreStoLite 2.1, and I have no complains at all.

I have the same problem on a SM-G900T running on AT&T. After every reboot can only get H/H+ leave it alone and will grab LTE 10 to 40 mins after the screen is off. Leave the screen on and won't grab LTE. And of course make a phone call you lose LTE connection. And how long it takes to get back is very random. I can't find a solution to this and got a G900T so I can run AOSP. I was tired of touchwiz and trying to get themed apps and dialers. now I am screwed I wish I could find a solution to this.

No 3g but have lte
I know this is probably in the wrong spot so I'm sorry.
I just clean flashed my sm-g900r4 to cm12.1 cyan ROM 20150428
I have working lte data but no 3g, so when I move out of lte area the signal icon just shows an exclamation point, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way I fixed mine was by removing all apn entries I didn't need. This caused the search for LTE to speed up no issues since

I really don't know why the development stopped for klteusc, but if I were to guess, I'd guess it is probably covered under another variant.
For example, since klteusc is a cdma phone I won't be surprised to see US cellular CM getting absorbed into kltespr development. But this is just a hypothetical scenario because I couldn't find any proof. But it is worth looking into if anyone is talking about it online.

Is my vote working?

I flashed the sweetest rom lastnight ,I can't get the volte option to show up in my menu but I can receive calls fine and do data fine ,all at the same time,like I could when I was on my stock rom.
if I go to about phone it shows I'm on lte but it doesn't tell me I'm on lte on my home screen.
Could this be cause this rom is for a style and I have a pure?
I can't post anything where the actual rom is posted so I brought it here.thanks

First of all , what carrier you on. And yea it could be because that rom is designed for style but maybe try to put it in lte/CDMA only if you are on Verizon.

Sorry yes I'm on Verizon, and I never had that option, my only options was for 4g, 3g and something else, can't remember. I had to end up going back to stock ROM while I could get incoming calls and use data at the same time they couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear them, other than that everything was working great.

What it does is mirror my phone on my touch screen radio using arunchained, and a chromecast plugged into my hdmi port on my radio. Instead of getting a video picture I get a snow screen and no audio. I'm guessing if I plugged my chromecast into my TV it wouldn't work either, maybe I'll try it later when my car gets back home.
