    [ROM][ICS] Pete Alfonso's Nightlies

    It works for me using the 1/22 build with Wireless Tether for Root Users. My wifi-tethered Transformer Prime got 8617 down, 1622 up from the Speedtest app.

    [ROM][ICS] Pete Alfonso's Nightlies

    It looks like the widget problem I was having was just due to multiple bad widgets that don't work right in ICS. I switched to using the WeatherBug widget and it works and update flawlessly now. When my widgets were freezing up it was also freezing the ICS built-in calendar widget, but switching...

    [ROM][ICS] Pete Alfonso's Nightlies

    I just installed the 1/18 build over the weekend as my first venture into ICS. So far, I'm only seeing one bug but its driving me crazy. It seems that home screen widgets freeze up after a little while and no longer update. I have tried both the built-in News and Weather widget as well as the...

    NxS4g or switch to Photon

    Three broken phones (plus two for my girlfriend) and a bad service area all around a decent size city and suburbs (St Louis)?

    NxS4g or switch to Photon

    I would rather have a phone that actually gets 4G service and doesn't drop calls and data sessions. I was holding out hope that the 2.3.5 update would solve things for the Nexus, but it hasn't and it seems like this model is just a lemon hardware-wise. I'm well past my 30 days, but have...

    Photon vs Nexus S 4G - signal strength?

    Now that many of the Photons are arriving in new owners' hands, I though it would be a good time to ask this. I'm one of the many that are currently stuck with Samsung's lemon known as the Nexus S 4G. I'm hoping that the Photon will be a fix for the problems I've been having since day 1...

    Nexus S vs Evo 4G

    You might want to hold out until Sunday (7/31) when the Motorola Photon 4G comes out to see how it looks. Gingerbread, dual-core Tegra 2, 1G RAM, more pixels, 16G + MicroSD storage, HDMI, ...

    [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 72

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 Its funny that you mention a PRL update. I just got back from a Sprint Store, where I had taken my NS4G in for service after GRJ90 did nothing to resolve my signal issues. After the tech worked on it for 20 minutes or so, I...

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 You realize that story is from like two weeks ago, right?

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 I ran into that. You need a newer version of ClockWorkMod recovery. Fastest way is to install ROM Manager from Market and install it from there.

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 "update.zip" worked for me. That's what the recovery ROM is expecting to see.

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 Well if its a fresh phone that you don't have a ton of time invested in setting up, I say ROOT IT! :D

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 That happens if you don't have a valid recovery partition. If you're rooted, you just need to reinstall ClockWorkMod Recovery (quick via ROM Manager). I have no idea how the recovery partition goes wonky if you're not rooted (or...

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 Not really. You can install this if you're rooted (I did). You'll just have to re-run the root process after installing it (not a big deal). Under 10 minutes, and I'm happily rooted on 2.3.5 now. You'll also lose your recovery...

    Re: [Official] July 25th Update - Links first post, and/or page 7 I'm seeing similar improvements on 3G. My 4G got significantly worse, though.
