Good news for Sprint Nexus S 4G (D720) owners in India, Sprint is allowing OTA updates for this handset. Anyone facing problem for OTA update can download this stock (latest and most stable) ROM and install via ODIN. This ROM is JRO03R, 4.1.1. Stock JRO03R ROM (Flash by Odin) http://sxtp-forum.co...-Stock-Unrooted Stock JRO03R Rooted ROM (odexed and deodexed)(Flash zip by recovery CWM or TWRP) http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1893612 Nexus S Software Update - JRO03R Enhancements/Fixes: Operating system upgrade Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Below is a list of a few changes: - Notification Bar: Expanded view of emails - Meeting Makers: more information to notification bar. Provides the ability to snooze and dismiss meetings from the notification bar. - Addition of Google Now (online search): o Voice search o Integrated approach to search features within Google services Many other UI improvements while using the phone.

Confirmed to work on some rooted ROMs of Crespo4G and all ROMs of Captivate. Non-Reliance Captivate needs little more fiddling though. Captivate needs spn-conf.xml editing also. Sent from my EVO 3D on Reliance on Tapatalk.

Anyone wanting to observe simultaneous 1x and EvDo coverage signal bars irrespective of the band selected. Build.prop tweak. ro.config.hw_new_double_signal=1

This tweak is meant for most carrier locked phones ruim or non-ruim. Little different among different models.

The handset seems to work well on RCDMA but a few niggles are still there: 1. Cell reception is utterly poor. 2. Though in 1x area, 3G indicator remains constant. 3. Incall voice quality is horrible. I have some prl files I am afraid it can make phone go into bootloop. There is no info of programming/prl near owner or seller. Can the problem be solved by flashing a specific prl?

Getstat gives not available for prepaid GSK, postpaid GSK and HCC now. But *228001 still says phone cannot be activated. Can we feed MIN from *#*#msl#*#* service menu or by qpst? What could be the problem? Edit-Solution: Entered MIN from ws and it started. Thank you. Sent from my Sensation XL using Tapatalk

But is this workaround troublesome and lengthy?

1. You will get continuous connectivity in hilly and highway regions and villages. 2. Dual signal 1x and EvDo from Vapi to Nakhatrana, himmatnagar, okha, Dahod. 3. Call and voice quality. 4. Range of handsets (ruim ones in open market and imported ones from RIMweb experts). 5. There is no reason to distinguish between GSM and CDMA anymore. Everything is absolutely transparent. CDMA service is fully end-user friendly. Sent from my Sensation XL using Tapatalk

While browsing a galaxy of new smartphones launched in India, set off to purchase a smartphone which is manufactured in Q2 2012, so as a new phone will last well atleast for its first year. Ordered it on flipkart.com for Rs 12,300 inclusive of 8GB micro-SD card. The next day when I checked the purchase summary, it stated delivery after 9 days and so cancelled the order. Got a seal packed piece from Indraprasht shopping centre, Borivali, Mumbai for Rs 10,000 excluding the memory card with 1 year HTC warranty. Initial hands-on:- A light press on power and it boots on, boot time is quite less. Device takes quite a minimal time to settle down. The 4.0.3-Sense 4A interface is identical to the HTC One series. The back cover is rubber coated to prevent slip-off. It fits well in an average sized palm. Google sync went through well though some users claim HTC Golf has sync issues. It supports social site syncing as well. In-call:- Call quality showed a little more bass but it was reasonably clear both ways. HTC dialpad was easy to use, searching contacts was good too. The phone does not lag herein. Sad part here is, when in call, the proximity sensor does not sense the call, instead the screen goes off as soon as the call gets connected and then one has to press the power button repeatedly to switch on the screen till you hang up. It seems the phone has the proximity sensor bug which is not adjustable/repairable at this moment. Network connectivity:- Phone works well in WCDMA preferred mode. Auto switching between 3G and 2G bands work properly. 3G data can download any file from anywhere without compromising on battery or overall OS stability. Social Networks:- Facebook initialization, log-in and usage showed no lags of using a 600 MHz processor, Tapatalk, Forum Runner and Whatsapp worked flawlessly in this so called low powered device. Inspite of all the power hungry apps running in background, the back panel did not warm up. Touch was as responsive as it was designed. Screen:- With a 3.5 inch HVGA screen, images did not look cheap, videos did not shudder at any time. The bottom padding and key size of HTC ime is not adjustable so in some websites/ form fills it can be a little hectic to space out the type margin while using the HTC ime. Auto brightness works well and this phone's lowest brightness level is lower than most phones. Chrome does have visual niggles on this phone as in others. Camera:- No autofocus and no flash but still the image quality is not that cheap. HTC Sense 4 UI camera fits well with this phone's hardware aperture. Low light imagery is not good though. Camera can click fast and review time in gallery is fast. Battery:- Cannot expect a week long battey life just because the hardware is limited and screen size is smaller. Battery lasts for about 4 hours talktime on WCDMA and 5 hours on GSM. 3G data does take up the jiuce fast but slightly better than faster devices. Battery never heated up at any point of time. Music time lasted very well. OS-UI:- HTC's Sense UI 4A on 4.0.3 ICS on a low powered entry level device. The performance of this combination did not let down HTC's reputation. But this is surely not a gamepad. Games do not work well on this phone. Overall:- A better entry phone with a workable and tweakable OS. Future ROM developement can improve phone operations drastically. At 98 gms it is worthwhile for those using for heavy duty calling. Music quality with Beats Audio is fine. Hint:- Do not unlock bootloader and root your phone, custom roms (fewer) are unstable and not daily drivers. Reverting back to stock RUU is not possible because of non-availability of stock boot.img, Bootloader re-locked will continue to show warnings, CID errrors and more.

Thank you and @ krishna, it will work on most android phones because ril tweaks are there for all builds. Platform tweaks don't change.

Thank you and hope to see some more input from fellow RIMwebians.

Anyone can try Alcatel Virgin Mobile Venture, its easily usable on Indian CDMA networks. Global easy buy on eBay sells brand new ventures for Rs 3300. It has GB platform and ergonomic keypad. Sent from my Sensation XL using Tapatalk

Most China CDMA phones are vendored by China Telecom. If phone is rooted one can easily delete operator files and shortcuts from system/data folder. GAPPS can be flashed on any Android device by recovery .zip file or by pushing GAPPS components in system folder and reboot. Even if 1x or Ev goes after flashing China Telecom Rom, well that can also be resolved without ws or any pc tools. Sent from my Sensation XL using Tapatalk

It has to work, it has worked in a friend's handset. First one is stock Odin Rom so its 100% successful. If I get a SYCDMA I will put a video tutorial shortly. All the best. Sent from my Sensation XL using Tapatalk

I got ev activated on my number with a little more child's play. CC gave me 7 days time for activation from the day of applying. Confirmation call on the 4th day and ev starts. They only checked the settings and I replied net user pass, a pain free process now. Sent from Huawei C8511 on Reliance using Tapatalk

Dear I had tried Superoneclick but its not happening. I tried in Recovery mode also with other rooting file, It show success but after starting it is not rooted http://www.galaxyyoung.in/2012/02/how-to-root-your-galaxy-y.html

Cop story 'Exit wounds' starring Steven Seagal, a 2001 movie, inspired by a novel, a different plot exposing heroin peddling through t-shirts soaked in heroin juice, dried and exported. The sniffers can't sniff and again a process to recover the heroin and put it in the market. Orin (Steven) busts his own department guys. Can watch it again a few times.
