I wonder if it will ship with Gingerbread...
I'm done with LG, I know AT&T probably has more to do with the update not coming out, but I gave them a chance and that's it for me. I will give my son this phone and take his upgrade and follow this forum to flash a little here and there for him. This is utter nonsense not to even have a stock 4.1.2 yet. And yet they keep rolling out devices. Total BS!! and before anyone says we do have 4.1.2 , I Know, but the premise of this rant is that devs could make better and more stable builds off of a stock release. Rant off.
Agreed. This phone is getting treated like garbage for no reason. At this rate, people on contract will have jellybean on this phone for maybe just a year, that's if we ever get an official release (not including snowjb, which I'm using now). I've never liked at&t.

What I can probably guarantee you is that whatever OS it ships with will be what it dies with...at least as far as AT&T updates go.

As much as I want to try the nexus 4 ROMs, I'm not convinced the conversion is safe for the phone in the long run. There's nothing wrong with this phone as it is, but at&t has a track record of sweeping good phones under the rug.

We shouldn't HAVE to..... That's the issue
While I'm not for or against it since I feel what people do with their phones is their business, I do feel like we shouldn't have to turn our phone into another phone in order to make the best of it. We bought the OG because we wanted an OG (at least most of us).
I feel like the N4 conversion is more of a bandaid that's just covering the real issue.
Basically, step up your game LG/AT&T/whoever the hell else is responsible for us being on old software with a brand new phone

The only thing is GPS. You can flash a nexus modem but you will at some point lose connection and can't get data or phonecalls and it eventually will reconnect. Or you can keep your optimus g modem but you won't have satellite GPS lock.

Anyways, we are all here on XDA because we are not satisfied with stock to begin with. Right?

In that case I've yet to hit the "some point." However, I've been running the CM10.1 rom for the conversion with the custom faux kernel in an entirely LTE area, and have gone without a single dropped call, random reboot, lost gps, or anything for multiple weeks now (2 or 3 I think?). I'm normally a flashaholic, but this is more of a daily driver for me than snowjb was (with the random reboots).
I think T mobile are doing what they did with the G2X. The g2X is the cousin of the Optimus 2X. Only different was the partition layout. It seems on this one they are doing a complete overhaul, with the LGOG.

Same here. GPS works fine for me on the Nexus 4 conversion, using dvhexer's ROM.
On topic: The specs are amazing, but that SoC will probably set your hand on fire while playing intensive games. This phone is great, it's a shame to see it being pushed away so quick.

Note that ^^ that number is an average out of 10 tests. I know these tests arent very accurate, but theres a big difference between 760 and 56
The reason I am posting this here was because this app is buried very deep in an old thread, and located nowhere else. So the only way people would find it would be if they knew it was there.
I'll start off by saying that there is much speculation as to whether or not this app actually works (even by the developer). However, it poses no threat to your phone either way.
I decided to post it because I used it for the first time and it seems to have worked for me in avoiding being throttled.
It's a very simple process:
1. Install the app.
2. Immediately open the app and press "reset throttle"
3. Reboot
4. Hope you dont get throttled!
*i would recommend doing this at the BEGINNING of every pay cycle*
It's been said that this should be done BEFORE being throttled, so I do it at the beginning of every pay cycle as a preemptive strike. I've had it on my phone for about 4 months, but have never used 5gb, so I had no idea if it would work.
This month was the first time I've gone over the 5gb limit since downloading this app. I received the "you've been throttled" text message, but my speeds havnt slowed.
Anyways, thats about it. Remember, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THIS WILL WORK, BUT THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO HARM IN TRYING. I was skeptical, but I finally got results so I wanted to share with everyone.
UPDATE 09/13/11: So based on feedback from members in this thread, and the fact that I have been throttled the last two months in a row while ussing this app...i think its safe to say that this is not a method to avoid throttling. As you can see above from my screenshots, i had good reason to believe that it was, however I guess I mustve gotten lucky that month and dodged the throttle bullet.
I will leave this thread open, with the download link, just in case any developers ever feel like messing with it to see if they can get something going. Until then, happy data-ing, and down with throttling!

Post feedback if it helps or not.

Rarely do you get throttled right away.especially if you have been with tmo for a long time, they throttle you at 10 gbs. there is no way or if throttling unfortunately. I didn't get throttled until 10 gb.

Excellent find TS
Guys, i said it twice in the OP.....theres no guarantee it will work. if youre skeptical, hit the back button on your browser.
just remember, i didnt just dig this app out and post it before seeing if it worked.
it happened to work for me. if i find a solution to being throttled, youre damn right im gonna post it for everyone to try......because the whole throttling/"unlimited data" is horse****
will it always work for me? i dont know. will it work for everyone else? i dont know. should people who have throttle problems try a possible solution, especially if its harmless and could work? absolutely.
updated OP with screenshots, to prove that it worked for me
Thanks for the info. I'm going to try this out and will report if it works 4 me. Worth a shot if it can't hurt

Okay.......you can look up "Idiot" in the dictionary and you'll find my picture.
TMO throttled me back when I hit 5.03gb. And I didn't even realize that was what happened. I tried everything to speed things up again but nothing worked. So then I just figured it was really busy on the internet. I then check my account and saw the red letters. Anyways......I downloaded the app and proceeded as instructed. The first thing I did was a speed test. Results = 72.3 Kbps. I do not care what anyone says.....IT DOES NOT WORK!
Hi, if I wanted to kill my mobile by shorting it out how should I proceed?
I was thinking in the terms of cutting the cord of a 5/12v charger and connecting it directly to the pins under the battery. As I understand the battery gives 3.7v and if I where to connect the 12/5v charger directly to the right pins on the phone I guess it will be fried. Is that correct and to witch of the 4 pins should I connect the cord?
AK 47 should be sufficient

I am writing a book called "Hitman 47 - cellular killer" I need to do some backgroundchecks regarding the different ways he would use to kill a phone using stealth so that everyone would be convinced that the phone had died of natural causes.
I am still waiting for any comments of what would happend if I connect a 12v line directly to the phones battery connector.
a "cereal" killer?

Hi there,
I have HOX+ since 3 weeks or so, and I'm really disappointed with it.
It promises you the best processor nowadays to play games, but well... No game runs smooth, either Tegra Zone, and most of Gameloft games are incompatible with our devices.
I've been talking today with HTC spanish chat Service and the girl, told me the problem was that I have 53 applications installed and 730MB of used RAM,
Sorry but... What the **** do you want me to have in a 64GB storage device?
He tells me the problem is about the free RAM memory but well... there's nothing we can do to fix that, it's their problem!
No one answers at @HTC, either @HTC_Spain, and the girl of the Chat support seems to be a ****ing bot who can't fix real problems.

The best processor & gpu now is the Snapdragon S4 Pro + Adreno 320, not the Tegra3.
Even the dual core S4 + Adreno 225 is as good as the Tegra3 at gaming, if not slightly better at times.

Get Swiftkey. It learns the way you type after a while and makes typing so easy and fast.

Ive purchased swiftkey in the past and love it so I will most likely be switching to that. However, the only thing holding me back is that the numbers are always at the top of the keyboard with the stock keyboard which I actually really like.

Took me a bit, but I'm getting used to the long press on the top QWERTY buttons.

I also just got my GS4 two days ago. Amazing phone

I'm really battling weather or not I should root it. Would I lose all the cool smart features of the gs4 by choosing an aosp rom?
My gnex's radios stopped working and I can't help but think that's it is because I rooted the phone. So I'm a little afraid to root now. I just don't like the color scheme. It's too kid-like.

you can make the duration shorter so it doesn't take as long to input numbers or symbols

Yes flashing a aosp rom will loose the tw gestures. So flash a tw rom and u will be fine.

Wow. Best phone I've had or seen. Big improvement over my beloved gnex. Im Really excited to keep learning all of its secrets
I was thinking of switching carriers to sprint for the HTC one just because it looks so sexy but I'm happy with my choice. Just wanted to say hi I guess.

I switched from a Gnex too, haven't activated the phone yet as I need to put the screen protector on.

I remember you from the gnex threads and imo, it's only a matter of time before you root it... :laugh: ...you might have to let go of the aosp idea for a rom on this phone for right now tho. I really don't see too much out there right now. Plus I'm really liking the tw! It's a nice change from aosp. It's not as bad as I remember on this phone, especially with some of the cool roms that are out for it...
check out beans rom if you wanna go that route. very fast and responsive. his stuff is always great.

You're right. I'm sure I will root pretty soon. I was an addict on the gnex so it really is just a matter of time.
I do like TW, it's just the color scheme that turns me off.

Thanks for the recommendation. I keep hearing good things about that rom. I just need to get back from vacation so I can use a windows computer.
Unless there is a way to do it on a mac.

I want the gestures gone and all other IMO bloat. As long as I get S3 stock like function, I will be happy. Now I just need Verizon to release a 32 model.
I'm loving the phone besides a hint of lag, especially when typing (either SwiftKey or Google Keyboard) - lag I didn't have on my DNA. I am on the fence of rooting, as I've never done it, even though this is like my 10th Android device.
OK so this problem started out small a few days ago until now when my screen went down for 30 minutes..
It's weird it just shows a fuzzy screen like a old school TV did that had no reception. This has now occurred on two different ROMs so I know it is not related in that way...
I'm thinking its a hardware or software problem with my screen. Has anybody else experienced this or should I take it into sprint... I have tried taking a screen shot of it but when I do, it actually takes a pic of whatever screen my phone is on eg: home screen, Facebook, XDA etc.... But still has the fuzzy screen....
Any help would be gratefully... Thanks

That definitely sounds like a hardware problem. It shouldn't be consistent with more than one rom. Furthermore, you are the only case where I have heard this (I saw your post with the first occurrence on the Sense 5/ 4.1 port).
Flash VipeRUU if you are S-Off, and run along to Sprint. If you aren't, flash the latest stock rom, and remove SU permissions from within the app itself. They *might* not notice (they didn't for me).

man that is freaky... it happened to me too but only once. I also have backlight issues on my evo lte. It'll start flickering and the backlight will just die. The phone will still work but the screen wont. Does that ever happen to you?

Not yet just the 80's scrambled porn screen.. I just got this phone a couple weeks ago.
So far since I did the ruu it hasn't happened again. It happened to me this morning twice, the first time it came back after 3-4 hard reboots. The second time it was like that the whole time I slept, and of course right before I did the ruu it came back on LOL..
I am going to give this another night at work if it doesn't do it again I'm thinking it is a glitch in the rooting of the phone if it does then I will take it to sprint tomorrow..

Even I had the same problem - the Sprint store near me replaced the phone (so lost most of my data & s-off phone) but there were others who said they were able to get the Sprint store to replace the screen.. YMMV
All the best!
Thanks for that link.. I think I might just leave early for work tonight and stop by sprint..
Edit nevermind on going to sprint since there hours are 9:30am-7pm and my work is 10:45pm-6:45am. I'm not going to sit around and wait..
