Can't seem to get my streak to connect to my verizon fios router after soft reset. Anyone else come across this issue?
Yes I have the same problem.
It did connect once but there was no internet connection.
Issue resolved, restart your router.

Really? Worked like a charm for me. Contact dell, thats the only suggestion I have for you.
Got it working.
I simply had to remove space from the SSID name.
It is a pretty stupid fix
There's another problem in WiFi Connection. WiFi Channels from 11 to 14 are not visibles on Streak...
For you T-Mobilers joining our big blue family soon, heres one for you:
i decided to test the nations fastest network (att) and load google, yahoo, even att.com on my cell phones "with wifi turned off". guess what, loaded at a crawl and most times, timed out to a default not able to-load page. The moment i turn wifi on, it burns!
Went into the city where i had the best signal ever! Phone displayed 3g, 4 full bars, ok, did the test again. turned off wife (lol i mean wifi).... and same thing, slowest load if at all. It timed out more than anything. then tapped into a local wifi (incidentally was not an att hotspot) and it zoomed again.
Question ; anyone else experiencing this issue? or have we accepted the fact that we pay for data but to get it, we need to use wifi? Called cust serv (wasnt a pleasant experience, but got thru to a mgr who is looking to see what can be analyzed. No towers known to be down. but if so, why would wifi work and the "actual service" doesnt?

From a home screen go to:
Menu->Settings->Wireless & networks->Wi-Fi settings->Menu key again->Advanced->Regulatory domain
If your phone has that setting then you can select 11, 13 or 14 channels.

I believe that the setting is on unlocked Streaks in the US - don't know about other countries.
I believe that installing a ROM with the 00 region will add the setting, but I have no idea if the hardware is in place on phones that were shipped without that setting.ROM Info I am in the US and bought my Streak direct from Dell unlocked, maybe others who have different variants can chime in on this issue.

Maybe I misunderstood the term unlocked. my phone direct from dell, but got it bbrand new on amazon. No att or tmo logos. No att bloat. Had to call att to get the imei registered so it will work on the network. I'm loving this tab/phone. especially the swipe keyboard.
Still going to order a bluetooth keyboard.
All streaks, locked or unlocked, have no carrier logos on the body of the phone.
In fact the only difference is the 3g radios and what rom is preinstalled (and weither it's locked or unlocked of course). Roms can be reflashed and the phone can be unlocked.
Once it's unlocked and reflashed with a 00 rom it's identical to a "sold unlocked" streak

Will check. I kmow one diff between this phone and a streak a buddy has is I can see the setting that I can check or uncheck to allow unauth apps to install. He cant see it on the streak he got at bestbuy for attt.
But I am ok with my current settings. Im glad I dont have the att junk that be has on his streak
That has to do with the fact At&t roms are nerfed

substitute your favorite non g-rated word for "messed up" in place of nerfed.
In particular they do not have the non-market install option and I believe they do not have the regulatory domain setting.

Heh heh I get u and so troo. I must have lucked out with my streak straight from dell. It came 1.6 originally and not one att bloat. Went to dell.com where my 2.2 update notice arrived, after updating I have the menu option in settings to install nonmarket. have loaded only 1 cuz too nerf'n skerrd to install something that might turn my streak into nerf.
Also noticed his after update and with the att junk is seemingly jumpy or slower.

I bought an unlocked Streak and the one thing I miss is the ability to connect easily to AT&T WiFi hotspots. AT&T branded phones have apps included to do this. Can those be installed on the unlocked versions of the Streak? Does anyone know which ones you would need?

I went round and round with Dell, AT&T Mobility and AT&T WiFi - everyone blamed the other guy. Finally after about a month of frustrating calls to each of their support groups, I was pretty much told - cannot be done, the correct app is not now and probably will never be available to put on the Streak. AT&T WiFi support did finally agree that if you are at an AT&T hotspot that does not have free access like you would find at a McDonalds for example, call their support number, give them your AT&T mobile number and they will give you a temp password - best they would do.
Thanks for the reply.
I had not called yet and wondered if anyone had tried using the app from the locked phone OR if there was a solution from AT&T. I may call because it is supposed to be included if you are an AT&T subscriber, so you should be able to get a permanent PW, the same as if you had home internet with them.
It was something I did use from time to time.
I had never used the ATT hotspot app since I never left the factory ATT bloatware on any of my phones. With all my Windoze phones I almost never used wifi anyway since it was such a battery hog. On the Streak, it is a different story and I'd be really interested if anyone does come up with an apk or another solution to get that app on the Streak.

I'm on 2.2 (its in my signature)
On the left hand side of the market page if you are holding it in landscape, down at the bottom, there are three icons. If it is in portrait, they are at the bottom of the green field. From left to right they read "apps" "games" and "at&t". If you click on the at&t one, there is a bunch of AT&T junk that I recognized from my ATT Windoze phones.
FWIW, if my phone isn't on the network, the ATT one changes to, I think, my apps.
The AT&T specific section of the market will show up on phones locked to AT&T. On my unlocked Streak I see My Apps where the AT&T link is on my Flipside.
Regarding the apks from another AT&T phone: how likely is it that the ones from A different model phone will work? and which would you need? Is it just an app or is there more to it?
The only apk that is clearly related to the AT&T hotspots on the Flipside is named AttHotSpotLocator.apk. It is simply an app to search for hotspot locations.
On phones with the built in capability to connect to the AT&T hotspots there is an extra setting to auto-connect to an AT&T wireless hotspot. It seems there is more to this than just an app.

Us Streakers need a super-geek android programmer type to figure this out for us. Unbelievable that with an unlimited data plan from AT&T they make it so hard to log into their hotspots just because we don't own the "right" phone in their opinion.

I don't think Android is supported yet. iPhone, bb and even WinMo is though. Even the ATRIX "4G" (yeah right) only supports att Hotspots via Tethering...which you can do with pretty much ANY att phone.
After e-mailing AT&T and finding out that, "After reviewing the coverage for your area it shows that you do have the best of our 3G coverage", I can't seem to pick up anything but E..
So... do I have a problem with my settings or are they bs'ing me..?

If it is an AT&T branded phone and you have an AT&T SIM card, why would you think that your settings are messed up? Have you rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM? Even if you did, the custom ROMs that are available for the Aria should have the correct AT&T settings.

OK, first I would do a 'nandroid' backup to save your current configuration. Then I would do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then see if you can then pick up a 3G signal. Depending on which custom ROM you have loaded, it will either show up as 3G or H (if you are running CM7). If you still can't get a signal, I would take it to AT&T and see if they can figure it out.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* on the phone. A menu will come up. Select Phone Information. Scroll down a little bit and there is a dropbox that says "Set preferred network type:"
This setting should be set to "WCDMA preferred". If it is not set to that, change it to that then hit back to get out of the menu, and see if the 3G works after that. It might help to restart the phone after doing this.
If that doesn't do it, try finding someone else you know with an AT&T SIM card, and try putting it into your phone to see if you can get 3G. If it's a very old SIM card, consider asking for a new one.
Also, double check underneath the battery. Does it say A6366 or A6380?

Sounds like a defect in the phone to me. If I were you, I'd probably re-install the factory default RUU. (Make sure you use the 2.1 one, NOT the 2.2 one. As long as you use the 2.1 one, you will still be able to root the phone again.) If you want to retain your current settings you can take a nandroid backup. After rerooting the phone you can restore it.
If 3G still doesn't work, get it exchanged. Was this a recently purchased phone?

Ok before all that, I just restored the nandroid ,from before when I was told to backup then wipe to see if I'd pick up the 3G, and after it boots up it just starts bringing up force closes of apps continuously... I can't do anything but force close the stuff that pops up.. (it seems to be all the apps that I had pre wipe that are causing the problems... I can't use my preferred launcher or even the keyboard [smart keyboard pro] that I had set, gmail doesnt seem to be working either)
Also this phone is a couple months old, I got it for free because I stayed with AT&T after they acquired the local phone company. It's not a huge problem that I can't get 3G as I can access wifi most of the time, but me and a friend were looking at T-Mobile and saw a joint plan we liked but I knew I wouldn't be able to receive 3G with T-Mobile, I then remembered I had never even gotten 3G with AT&T
Hi I am currently a T - Mobile customer and when I originally bought my Samsung Galaxy S2 with the company, I thought I could take advantage of using both the T - Mobile network and 2G services of the T - Mobile Orange Network.
However after successfully using it for the first 2 weeks, after my KE7 firmware update, I have an unbranded phone, it did not connect to the network anymore, stating, even if I manually select T - Mobile Orange in GSM mode only, Cannot registor with network, Unable to connect, then it states it is registered and yet I have emergency calls only stated and not either T - Mobile or even T - Mobile Orange. Then it will not connect to either network manually until I restart the phone.
I have since flashed my phone with various other firmwares, am currently on cognition s2 1.13, it's a great Rom, and still the same thing occurs.
I have contacted T - Mobile, they can't fix it, I have took the phone to a Samsung Repairer and they couldn't see anything wrong, stating it was a fault with Orange, as the guy in the shop's T - Mobile branded Galaxy s2 did the same.
Anyone solved the mystery, or is able to explain the issue to me?
It's doing my nut in, I have had phones like these for years, flashed them and enjoyed them, and usually work things out for myself, my last phone was an Samsung I8910, which was great with custom firmware support and I must say the Galaxy s2 is by far my favourite ever phone, but even my Samsung Omnia I8910 works properly on T - Mobile and Orange, and the latest and greatest phone won't!!
Have you tried flashing a different modem? Seeing as the cognition rom is based on I9100XXKG1, I know of a couple of forum members that have had trouble with the KG1 modem, and had to revert to the KF2 modem.
Worth a try? It won't wipe you phone of anything daft either.
List of official modems: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
Before you do anything, can you dial*#1234# and just check what phone software is installed?
Thanks for the option Unfortunately I have tried the KE2, KE7, KF2 and KG1 Modems now, none of them have worked. It is really bizaar as the bloody thing works really well on T - Mobile, when there is coverage, plus the 3 and H is great speeds when they are in coverage, it just won't switch to Orange

Unfortunately if I let mine automatically switch network, it switches to emergency calls only if I am out of a t mobile network range, not orange, and it used to switch to orange no problem
Then when it is in emergency calls only, I have to turn it on and off to get it to work at all, as it will not register back to T mobile

You don't need data roaming ticked in order to use Orange. T-mobile and Orange are both considered 'home' networks.
I'm on T-Mobile without data roaming ticked and it switches automatically to Orange without any issues. Might be worth phoning t-mobile up and seeing if there's some sort of issue with your account.
I installed Lite'ning Rom and found that I couldn't connect to Orange on my unlocked tmobile sim. Turned out that I had the "com.orange.authentication.simcard.permission" apk missing.
Downloaded it here:- http://www.contentsd.nl/apk/SimServicePermission.apk
and installed it with titanium and registered ok on orange.
Hope this helps.

Hiya guys. Sorry to jump on this thread but I am having the same issue as OP. I'd just like to give you an update on what I know so far. It is a nightmare trying to speak to someone at T-Mobile who actually knows whats going on, but I was persistent and got through to an engineer who said that they are having transmitter problems in east anglia and surrounding areas...not sure if you are in that area or not. Unfortunately all the engineer said is that they are working hard to a. figure out what the problem is ang b. fix it! He also could not give me an ETA and said that the only way to get back onto the network is to reboot the phone a couple of times. Not ideal, but I though it was something to do with the VillainRom that I flashed...so here's stupid me flashing stock, bricking/unbricking the phone etc etc only to find out later that its not the phone...on the plus side I have amazing battery life now haha who would have thought ey!
Anyways, hope this information is useful to you all.

It is not a ROM issue - it is a T-Mobile/Orange fault

Absolutely right Steph, it is not ROM related.
T-Mobile have acknowledged that there is a problem with registering T-Mobile customers on T'Orange cell towers.
I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks now (also in East Anglia), and after a lot of perseverance I got transferred to Level 2 support (Technical Support - not Customer Support) last Monday. They said there was a 'rectifier problem' on a mast in Henny Street, near Sudbury, Suffolk at the end of June and it has had a knock-on effect on other masts in the area. It was/is a level 2 priority for fix.
I wasn't happy with that explanation as it happens all over Suffolk!
Still with the issue on Thursday, I called them again and got straight through to Level 2 as they had marked my account as an on-going problem which Customer Support (in the Philippines) couldn't handle.
While explaining in detail the 'Your SIM does not allow you to connect to this network' problem the Guy I was talking to received an internal notification that they were aware of issues registering on T'Orange cells, that they'd known about it for 72 hours, have no idea what is causing it, and no eta to fix.
I've been using a forced connection to T'Orange for the last couple of days (poor T-Mo signal in house which always caused it to hunt for T'Orange anyway). Downside of course is that it won't get a 3G signal when forced into T'Orange mode.
Still happening today so need to give them another prod...
Oh, and I found this thread searching for answers - I don't have a Galaxy S, I have a Desire. Further proof that it isn't ROM related.
I'll update when I find out more from them.

Just spoken to them again, problem is still on-going, they are still investigating and looking for more samples of the problem to try and isolate the issue. In light of that I would suggest anyone else having this to phone them and ask for Technical Support and register the fault - the more samples they have, the better chance of getting it resolved.
In other words, they still don't know what's causing it or when they'll fix it.
I originally posted this to WPcentral but no one seems to care... I find it quite compelling and I thought I'd share...
I have read a lot of different forums that The Lumia 920 from Roger has a hard time working with other carriers when unlocked. Specifically, internet Sharing seems to be broken.
Some have speculated that the phone is supposed to "detect" or "read" the settings right off the sim card but all the Rogers phone owner have reported that this is not happening.
I like evidence, not speculation. So I went ahead and downloaded the RM820_1232.2109.1242.1002_RETAIL_nam_canada_200_02_100347_prd_signed ROM off nokia's web site using NaviFirm+ 1.7. then I hex-edited the rom itself...
Boy is that stuff interesting. I found a section written in XML called "OEMCustomizationPackage". That sounded too good to be true... so I dug up the xml and found a bunch of interesting settings like custom ring tones, initial tile placement BUT...
I also found this...
<Component ComponentName="ConnectivityCustomizations">
<SettingsGroup>
<Setting Name="ADC path set" Value=""/>
<Setting Name="ADC enabled" Value="0"/>
</SettingsGroup>
Call me crazy but ADC in WP8 parlance stands for "automatic data configuration" and unless I'm dumb as a rock, the setting sure seems to me like it's disabled!!!
Now of course If only there was another line that said <Modified by your carrier to make your life miserable = 1> but sadly there aren't.
So it begs the question... was the setting disabled by Nokia?, Rogers? or worst... Microsoft?
I don't expect I'll have an answer to this but I have a support call in with Nokia that got bumped to Level 2 support... the conversation will get interesting
[Update]
I looked at the OEMCustomizationPackage XML for the ATT firmware and ADC is disabled (tested on RM820_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_nam_usa_100_01_95122)
did the same for a random European firmware... settled on the France firmware (RM821_1232.2109.1242.1001_RETAIL_eu_france_267_01_95741 ) and the setting is NOT IN the OEMCustomizationPackage XML
Now I'm not gonna waste any more bandwidth testing other firmwares but this is evidence enough to prove there was a deliberate effort to cripple the North American firmware by ATT and Rogers. I cannot wait to talk to the support rep from Nokia and hear what he has to say... Best case scenario, they let me have a generic Firmware and I'm home free... but most likely, they'll release an app just like they did with the lumia 900. It was called "Nokia Network setup"
[Update]
Hmmm, that's an interesting find! Keep us updated if Nokia comes back to you with anything.
I’m stuck over in the UAE right now. I have a brand new 920 from AT&T that I can’t use because no one can sim unlock them yet. Would it be possible to flash this thing with another ROM and get it sim unlocked so I can use it over here?
Thanks,
Dave
I remember buying the samsung focus and windows breaking the device to change registry settings. This was the same issue that the Focus had...unfortunately i don't remember the explaination that was given but it was Samsung saying that automatic data configuration, for whatever reason, frequently configured the device wrong or just wouldn't work so they disabled the setting. I think it a BS excuse considering they have the registry entry why would you disable it and why wouldn't it work in the first place....just my 2 cents. But, I don't believe it too much to be a conspiracy theory going on lol.
Flashing ROMs normally does not change the status of the SIM lock, so no for you over at UAE.
Considering the OEM customizations: yes, branded phones run the same software as unbranded devices but there might be settings to allow or disallow certain functionality. Also the Apps loaded by default on a hard reset are different (OEM Apps can be included).
So while the update package to get your 920 and my 920 to the Apollo+/Portico Update most likely will include the same binaries that does not mean that you have the same functionality available (some carriers who only operate on 3G for example removed the possibility to switch their devices into 2G only mode). Internet Connection Sharing was another feature that was disabled on some branded devices although drivers, etc. are deployed onto those devices as well.

Thank you!
most carrier branded wp phones have adc turned off since wp7 days. That is nothing new and certainly expected. typically, you can turn it back on once you sim unlocked your phone and you are lucky enough to find network setup app from the manufacturer,
The network setting app is here!!
As an update to my adventures, I did find the Nokia network setup app... it's called "access point". I tried to do a marketplace search but no results... but a guy over at WPCentral just dropped the marketplace link
I'm apparently too new to post outside links so PM me and I'll get you the link...
I just browsed to the link on my phone and was able to install the app. It add an "access point" item to the setting menu just like the Dev ATT phone they handed out prior to launch
My phone is still locked to Rogers so I have no idea if the app will help me overcome the tethering issues once I get there. on Dec 19th my "30 days on contract" are up so the nasty Rogers people will run out of excuse to deny my unlocking so I'll buy the thing and get as far away from this carrier as I can and hopefully I can get functional Internet Sharing going.
To any Canadian who's lucky to have an unlocked 920 with internet tethering problems... can you confirm this is working?
Thanks.

Wow great news !! Can you confirm a few things for me...
1- Can you confirm you are getting stable and long lasting internet sharing... a lot of people report success but then they write back to report that is stops working...
2- What is your batch number? (mine is 44/2012 it's in the sticker on your box where the IMEI number is )
3- What firmware are you running? (mine is 1232.2109.1242.1001)
4- Did you get the phone unlocked by Rogers or a web site?
Thanks for the feedback! I too want to switch to Telus but with so many users reporting problems with internet sharing, I was getting desperate.

the telus apn i ve already typed into, and i didnt change it. The only thing i open access point, and choose TELUS active, then i got consistent internet sharing, no problem .
Great find! I can confirm this is working on my unlocked Rogers 920 on Bell. I downloaded the app and selected the Bell profile, and changed my apn under cellular to inet.bell.ca. Turned on tethering and worked right away. Thanks again for posting this!
Service: Telus
Unlocked by: Cellunlocker.net
Firmware: .1002
Manufacture week: 46
I had set APN to regular sp.telus.com and set access to point Telus. That didn't work.
Just for the hell of it I switched the manual APN entry to isp.telus.com and switched the access point to Koodoo and back to Telus to force it to refresh.
I was able to turn on tethering but I lost data. So it's basically same behavior as before.
Hopefully I can get tethering to work. I'm jealous some of you are getting it to work and I don't :S

edit 1: Never mind, it doesn't work any more.
edit 2: It's hit and miss. Working again a day later after switching from isp.telus.com to sp.telus.com and back.

I created this account just to say thank you! This internet sharing issue has been bugging me for weeks. I can confirm it's working on an unlocked rogers Nokia 920 on Wind. I just installed the access point app, deleted the APN I had manually entered, ran the app and selected Wind as my operator and now everything works including internet sharing.
Hey. I'm thinking about getting the Motorola Edge+ 2022 on T-Mobile, but I'd want to know what it's capable of on said network: since T-Mobile released Voice Over 5G not too long ago, can the phone successfully make a 5G call (not a VoLTE or EPS call), and can it also do carrier aggregation between band n71 and n41? Any help would be nice, thanks
Yes, I have Edge+ 2022 on T-Mobile.
You need to do a bit work to fully enable SA 5G
Now VoNR is on by default.
It can achieve N41 on SA
Mingkee can you provide some instructions on how to "do a bit of work" to enable these features? I'm also on TMO and want to ensure I'm getting the same capabilities.

Anyone know the T-Mobile 8gb ram 512gb storage build number? I have the boost mobile variant and want to have a smooth transition over to metro, what can I say, metro is king here.
If you don't know how to look it up go to about phone scroll down to build number, Id really like to have the version of the factory moto build, either will work, thanks!

can you tell me the build number if its the 8gb version? boost put tons of junk on this thing, file would also help or link to zip that way I can drop it in the rsa cause Im already unlocked, there's just so much dish junk and carrier had it running on 3gpp trying to get rid of this, Im 99% sure I can already change my carrier but I want to rid my crippled device.

I recently also purchased and unlocked boost mobile variant of edge plus 2022. Have you had any lucky flashing the retail US rom?
No I can't get any specifics on the factory rom so I just shut off the boost mobile apps and put it on Metro by T-Mobile, got in the hidden menu and changed some things here and there, I noob nerfed it... If I had the rom that I needed then I'd try to finish it but there's like 10 different roms on EF and apparently I don't know the lingo to get the factory rom, the admins over there are not trying to help anyone, I messaged one that acted like he worked for boost mobile.
We need step by step lol. I'm mainly concerned about slow to no update at all since it's in dish channel even though our phones are network unlocked.

My new, unlocked Edge+ that I am planning on activating on T-M is arriving this weekend.
If you can pop in a sim and it's not asking for a code go through the apps and disable carrier app, Network companion and all boost overlay apps by turning off the open by default switches, dial *#*#4636#*#* go to NR options from the top option and pick auto, in my are it switches from sa to nsa, depending on the carrier you might want to make sure your carrier is using NR for calls, make sure its not saying Rcc in error, with Metro you can use ipv6 basic sim settings or T-Mobile apn in settings, under the 4636 hidden menu set the network from NR, LTE, Wcdma to NR,LTE,gsm,wcdma or unknown. Basically Unknown is the best option because if you switch carriers it will pick the correct configuration, if said new carrier uses LTE for voice calls it might be needed to disable VoNR so your not burning data on calls, at this point my ram is at 3 or 4 instead of 5 with the boost settings, rcs chats are registered and my signal is maxed out using 5GUC. It just takes some research and it can be run perfectly on the crappy boost firmware, it just takes some time to work with. If you get stuck make sure you are backing up everything and if you have problems do a wipe from the fast boot and start over. Look up and do your research on the stuff you turn off, virus total might show you some apps not being utilized. This is the best I can do at this point.

Maybe a build# would help to be added to this thread, most ppl will probably use that build for the best performance. I'd appreciate it even though my boost firmware is up and working on Metro I haven't got a security update since 2/23 all these comments on settings I've made are going to apply to the U.S. networks.

Ebay seller had bought it as a new Boost phone; and when they unlocked it, still claiming it was new, they started the clock at Motorola as of March. So when I got it, I immediately checked to see if I could add Accidental Damage; but upon finding that the 12 month warranty would expire in March 2024, and I couldn't add the extra insurance, I immediately requested/was approved for a return. So I'm back on the market...for a new Edge+ 2022.

That's a tough break, I appreciate the update, I activated on Metro but the Metro rep claims running the T-Mobile apn settings will send me the new updates but I have none up to this date. Usually fota updates are sent at night so hopefully overnight I might receive one, it does say dish channel on mine as well but all of the boost overlay system extensions have been turned off and the matching settings are turned on from another Metro/T-Mobile phone I have, I feel like something in the actual boost firmware is blocking the updates because dish is using some shady public networks on these phones, I'm not sure if it's to support other phones or what but my data seems to be correct so I don't think my phone has any attachments to dish/boost. If I get updates I will put notification to the thread. If you want to run on T-Mobile just get the unlock code from boost because considering you purchased the phone used under U.S. law their unlocking policy does NOT apply to used phones, that is how I got my unlock code to switch to Metro and using T-Mobile apn settings. Hope this helps like I said will update if I'm updated.
I reached out to another seller (selling 10 fons) on Ebay; and based upon what they said, and description of two other "new and unlocked" Edge+s, it seems like all of them at good prices are sourced from Boost. I think I'm going to get one directly from Moto.
Keep me updated on the build number, it seems no one knows the factory build. Thanks

It's going to depend on what area you're in, I'd write them all down and just put them all in, it's only going to pick up the ones that are in the sim I'm 90% sure, then if it doesn't pick up SA then you'll take your band list you disabled and simply re-enable them. My phone actually works better on a speed test with NSA, with the latest merging networks it seems carriers might be switching to NSA unless your on Att or Verizon your device is probably not going to pick up SA, it's a way overhyped network choice IMO, my home is brick and when standing in the middle of it NSA goes in and out and it's only 1300sqft, I can't see SA making it through brick, my advise is if your picking up a good NSA signal just use it as lame as it sounds. My device opens pages quicker than a kid abusing a book at the library.
