Root [BACKUP] Sprint FG11 stock-rooted+

The bold confused me..please explain

Nevermind. I'm slow today.

When you pull your battery there is still a trickle charge of power left. Nothing to really do anything but to keep the system up to date, cache. If you pull the battery and hold a key, any key, it should completely drain the phone of any left over charge.

On a side note, now that I've gotten to test the 3G a little better, in some areas my speeds are as fast or faster than my wifi O.o ...................or seems that way, anyhow. I haven't officially tested it, just going off how much time I remember some apps/websites loading up pre-update, and the time they take now.

First i would like to say sorry to you xaelith for hijacking YOUR thread. Never was my intention.

Makes sense I'm slow. Geeee thanks. Hahaha.

All electronic devices have that trickle charge left. Like when you turn off the power of a computer or a power strip. The light says on for a couple of minutes until all power is exhausted.

Same here. I have been testing on and off for a couple of days now. I am seeing better speeds now then I ever had. My dl speed is sitting around 707 and my uploads is 777. I have never seen my speeds faster than 300 dl and 60 up.

No worries, mate. :) As I told PH8AL several posts ago, if I found it to be too much of a bother, I would do something about it.

I wholeheartedly believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute, and occasionally it comes out in random ramblings. ;)
 
Sorry to see that.

Side note: what version are you running, 2.3.4 or .6? Sprint or Boost?

2.3.4 Sprint.
Or maybe I just didnt drain the battery completely? I tried making sure it wouldn't turn on. All I know is that I keep getting the same results.

First maybe just maybe it could be the version. Why have not updated?

Out of curiousity have u tried going back to the old baseband and retest ur speeds a few times?

Well i plan on restoring my old one for higher speeds.

Because the 2.3.6 doesnt have root. Thats why i went back to 2.3.6. But if you want i can temporarly go to 2.3.6 and do speed tests
 
I updated to 2.3.6 and actually got worse results. I'd take a screen shot but I have no root. So Im just going to downgrade back to 2.3.4 again and also downgrade my baseband. Its not really worth it loosing root access and having slower speeds. I'd rather just have that annoying update notification pop up.
 
TikiKart is the best way to drain your battery:D Play til it dies. Done it many times just because I didn't want to put it down.
 
Nope just an injection of humor. That looks good, no time and its still beta, need my phone to behave for a bit here.
 
Well, so long as things go about to plan, I should get some time this weekend to work on this. Since I forgot to reserve a space at the beginning, I will most likely be making a new thread. Watch for a link to follow. ;)
 
Just want to apologize to everyone for the update taking so long, and shed some light on a few of the holdups.

First though, I want to thank everybody (again) for their offers of help in the future, and helping me get this together in the past. Since rooting my first Android phone (Moto OG Droid), I've wanted to positively contribute to the community in some way. While I feel that posting this backup is a pebble in comparison to the mountain that the devs have provided us, it still means a lot to hear, read and know that even that much is greatly appreciated.

So now on to the holdups. They're listed in no particular order other than the order in which they came to mind.

1. Newly released/soon-to-be-updating ROMs. I've been wanting to give CTMod and the upcoming Megatron a try, as well as give the respective devs to said ROMs their moment to shine. The last thing I want is to rain on the parade of anyone who can actually be called a dev by releasing something anyone can do on or around the same day they release their stuff.

2. Device change. While my plans are to keep the Ultra as a backup in case anything happens to the new device (when I get one), real life has a way of almost never going according to plan. A few new and upcoming phones have caught my eye, which may mean I have to part with my TU (and in that light, the community).

3. My work/life schedule (as always). My work schedule is such that during the week, I have little time for much more than work and sleep. Not that I mind it, it just makes learning to dev a bit more difficult, and prolongs the process. Add to that that other facets of life have recently required my free-time, and you're left with me only occasionally sneaking online at work (or while getting ready for work) with only enough time to reply to posts, point a few noobs in the right direction, and on rare occasions, write prolonged apologies like this one.

Once again, thanks for your patience, and for being the best (development) community I have thus far come across. I wish I knew of some better way of putting this, but it really does mean a lot.
 
Tee hee hee, I learned'ed sumfing from an old post mavrikmeerkat made back in February!!! :D

It'll definitely help with the next iteration. ;)
 
New update here. I'll post here again when the flashable is ready, but will otherwise be moving over to the new thread from here on out

EDIT: Alright, well that's it for this thread. Please re-direct to the new thread with the included guide. I think I'll keep this one open for loosely-related (meaning anything from a slight off-shoot from the topic, to totally off-the-wall and completely unrelated) comments, but otherwise, please try to keep the new thread on-topic.
