Apparently the apk has been hacked to work on some other phones apart form the official ones.
Anyone know how to hack this for the NS4G ??

Dunno about anyone else, but update 2.0.0.47 STILL does NOT give me video calling on my Nexus S 4G on Sprint.

Same. If you have a backup of a stock ROM try it on that.

I tried today and it worked very well!

I can confirm NS4G working with this version. Market version does not work. I'm on CM7.1 nightly 39 with netarchys 1.3.5 cfn. However, I HAD to lower it to 1300 MHz. 1400 MHz will freeze video after 5 sec. Just like gtalk video.

Just tried this out today and the quality was terrible both sending and receiving. Anyone have different results?

internet with tmobile

Hey guys someone offered me a samsung captivate for 50 bucks n it looked nice but its At&t and im a tmobile user ..................so even if unlocked the highest speed internet i can get without wifi is only 2g and edge right...........
P.s will that be enough for facebook/netflix?
thanks in advance

Edge is what u will get.
Facebook....yep, but probably really slow.
Netflix...i would say nope, because of the slow data transfer speed.
But in the end, it is whatever u r willing to tolerate.

As he said very slow. I used my captivate on Walmart family mobile which is powered by T-Mobile and it made me want to gouge my eyes out it was so slow... But they did throttle data speeds on that plan so you might have better luck.
Also if you decide to try it anyway and are a brave soul when it comes to tinkering there is a thread somewhere in here on a DIY unlock for the captivate. I can verify that it works as I've done it myself but I suggest backing up your efs folder first.
I have the thread bookmarked on my PC so I could link it for you later if you're interested.

I'm going ahead and picking up a Vibrant pretty cheap tonight so I don't have to worry about it. Who knows how long it may be before everything is 3G? My Cappy can be a backup.

2G only on a new GT-i8190

My dad purchased a new Galaxy S III mini online. It arrived with a European charger and in a foreign language. Which one I don't know. Anyway, he managed to get it switched over to English but apparently it will only connect to 2G. I had him check under networks and he says GSM is the only option.
It's this a firmware issue I could correct?
Getting info from him has been like pulling eye teeth and he is well over 1500 miles away and only slightly less in years.
Thanks in advance.

Why not flash a rom from your country?
Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

Looks like my dad has lost interest, at least four the time being, in fixing this issue so, unless he ships the phone to me whereby I can flash rom's, etc., I'll consider the issue closed.
If there is any change, I'll post the results.

LTE FIX!!!!!

As u know that with latest android update 4.2.2 Google turn off the lte access. No worries
It just the radios so just roll back to previous radios .33 or .24
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227
Just go to this thread and download the modems and flash in recovery and guess what lte is back.....
Standard procedure I'm not responsible for any damage..

well thats kind of common sense to be honest.
not really a fix but a workaround

has this worked for you by any chance?

I just finished doing this myself. It works, you just need to flash the 4.2.1 radio .33 over top of 4.2.2 and it works fine

Rolling back to the .33 radio on 4.2.2 broke phone call volume.
Returning to .48 fixes it.

I'm talking about the baseband update, not the actual 4.2.2 OS update. I've updated to 4.2.2 but downgraded the baseband, which has nothing to do with the media scanner bug.
I'm wondering what specific improvements/changes were made in the new baseband.

Do I have to be rooted to flash an old radio?

You need to have an unlocked bootloader at least to flash in fastboot.

Ohh, erm, **** knows.

Finding mine locks onto 3G better, slightly better signal, less battery usage.
I wouldn't go back to .33, even if there were LTE services in my area... I bought the phone knowing it wasn't a 4G phone, so I have lost nothing.

I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to use the newer baseband... LTE service here is amazing, and I am talking a huge difference (HSPA+ DC I get around 8mbps and 120ms ping, where with LTE I get over 40mbps and 18ms ping). Not sure if I want to give that up!!

The network could quite easily lock out your phone at any time anyway, as each handset identifies itself on LTE, so they only have to put a block on N4 ID strings, if they wanted to and use the non-approved card...

Well, depending on how urgently you need Wi-Fi tether to work, you could either flash a previous version of the ROM, or live with it.
