Root Thunderbolt ads

Lol no fanboyism in here. EVO has a a slower processor, an older gpu, a lower quality screen, older version of sense, an older camera sensor, a wimpy kick stand and no LTE. Which like it or not is much faster than Wimax(which is why Sprint and all other carriers will eventually be going with it). The EVO was a great device, but the thunderbolt is an upgrade in every aspect.

actually, the speed of LTE is not the reason that WiMAX may not be with us for long. Its that clearwire isnt able to afford to expand the "4g" network and sprint is keenly aware of this. The funniest part about vzw's lte is that vzw unabashedly slams gsm carriers as dropping calls (and, yes i know lte isnt directly used for calls) and intermittent data coverage etc etc etc, and take a wild guess what lte is..... GSM!!!! way to shove not only your foot, but your whole leg down your own throat vzw!! the processor is very slightly slower(refer to the phonescoop link i posted) the screen is identical in pixels and size and type, who gives a crap about the new sense version?(this is the all things root section of a site designed to help people hack their phones) and youre seriously picking on the "wimpy" kickstand? It was an innovation, and a trial and error.... your points are negated
 
LOL the phone scoop comparison is uncanny lol they are the same phone, even the envelope is ony .5mm different...
 
i think the nes and snes d/l issue is caused by a pebkac error :P ive never had issues with doing that. Ive seen some talk about the evo2 (evo ii) cant remember where i saw it, or how specultive it was, but youd just hafta guess that its on the horizon. Also, ive been reading about the architecture of processors/memory inherantly changing. Currently, theyre seperate things within the phone, however the mad scientists behind the curtain are apparantly attemopting to interlace them into one thing making the transfer rate between the system memory and cpu a thing of the past as theyre all in one. That being said, theres, of course, still going to be a transfer rate, but the physical connections between the two being such a different animal under the new projected structure would be so different that theyd not be really comparable as far as benchmarking them goes. And battery life is going to be positively abysmal in the dual/quad core devices, and the new architecture should also alleviate that. So yeah, the dual/quad core thing is all the rage right now, but thats likely to change.

Pebkac LOL like that ever happens to me :p. Im gonna call the geek squad about this one...lol
 
LOL my gf went to them yesterday because her wifi doesnt work when im on call of duty, i told her i would fix it but i was busy, playing COD of course :) anyhow she went to best buy where she got the laptop...then texts me to ask what our router is (cisco E4200 btw)...then asks me what our internet is (rr turbo w/power boost) then comes home and says they told her i was using all the bandwidth, great questions and deductive reasoning skills geek squad LOL...
 
dear lord.... yeah, cuz we all know COD chews up like 400000000 megabits when playing online..... what losers.... i work for a dsl provider and i saw a loop qual(a test to see what speeds are available at a specific addy) the other day which was a FTTH line with 150Mbps dn and 50 Mbps up!!!! Holy Cow!!!!
 
Thanks for coming through BB now i have to look at it my damn self...using all the bandwidth (angry face)...i wanna smack someone. I wont be helping on here tonight i have to help my gf...

I thought about getting the highest rr offered the new 50m they offer but it only comes with the whole dvr package right now, powerboost is a max 30m i think. still i should be able to run COD and FB at the same time...

This is how i see the convo...

GF: Hi my internet doesnt work when my bf is playing COD
BB: What router are you using?
GF: Let me ask BF...the E4200
BB: OK the best router we offer...what is your internet speed
GF: Dunno let me ask BF...30Mbps
BB: OK the fastest internet speed currently offered by TW here
BB: So you have the best router and best speed...must be taking all your bandwidth
GF: OK thank you I'll tell my BF...
 
I completely agree with Phandroid having ads on their site, without them we probably wouldn't have this awesome forum. It's the inability to close them out that gets me. On a brighter note Phandroid gets paid by verizon, so we actually win by being annoyed. :) Rationalizing is a beautiful thing.

as do i granite, but they shouldnt be stupidly placed.... i mean this is a geek oriented site, and if youre browsing in all things root for an evo, youd think that theyd give you sprint ads... and you KNOW the geeks who run this site can direct the ads accordingly :P and i use the term geek with respect. Lord knows how stuck id be without all you geeks :D

translation = im a **** who shouldnt be a geeksquad member and i havent the foggiest what im talking about
 
hahaha damn akaza got me with that one, shouldve known that someone so helpful didnt work for something so useless
 
my thoughts is that kid that helped her was just a nerd and not an actual geek :D

LoL i knew this forum would cheer me up as the day progressed. I also think it was a lazy bastard who didnt actually wanna dig into the issue to resolve it.... im betting its her security settings if she cant connect properly or at all

and tisk tisk akazabam LoL!!!!!!

LOL who knows she installed norton which is always causing issues anyhow...i should really monitor her tech usage more closely :D. She does connect but she gets kicked if i start playing a not so friendly game of COD. I didnt set up my router i let my buddy because i went to bed (works for compucom though, but he did do it remotely...). I'll have to look at the settings, DHCP may be set at like 2 hosts, I dont get wifi in the bedroom real well, n probably isnt enabled also...my xbox works so i never cared lol

Right, thatd be problematic if wifi isnt enabled lol you know about the 192.168.0.1 or .1.1 or .10.1 ip addy for your router i assume.... username admin (usually) and pw is password (again, usually)
 
still lovin this new kernel btw.... i cant believe it was such a simple fix!!! now i need to get in touch with bestbuy blacktie dept to get a replacement battery under my coverage plan to start fresh w/ a new battery
sidenote: does sprint allow for phone upgrades every 12 mos? or do we hafta wait 2 yrs?

Lol it's enabled but maybe b and g no n...more related to speed and distance...dunno if he changed my pw but yeah. If you know more about networking than me I may bug you :)
