    New gadget lets police detect when you're texting while driving

    in General Topics

    Posted

    It's a lost cause. The Supreme Court even passed a law saying they can't search your phones without a warrant so the whole texting while driving thing is moot. Even if you were visibly doing it and the officer stopped you for it he has no way to prove that it happened without checking your phone. Granted I don't text and drive anyway so I'm not really affected.

     

    Voice to text is also worth noting like Robert said. There's so many different variances to the implied issue that this whole thing is just wasted money and can't possibly come to fruition. That's my piece anyway. Tried not to offend anyone with the post and will apologize here in advance if anything I said did offend anyone. :)

    Cheers.

    I was angry when Samsung did that to me, I got lucky though and they didn't nick anything. Granted, they're gonna get another opportunity at it now. I'm almost tempted to close the RA and just deal.

    Well I've gotta ship mine in for repair again. The first time I called it in. Phone would not let me receive calls. Attempts at answering them are ignored by the phone. Not all, but the majority. I used live chat this time because I'm having the same issue. They changed out the board chipset and it obviously didn't fix anything. So live chat got me the RA, and because I was in a very bad mood they decided they were going to send me a shipping label this time. I referenced the previous repair that it all started after zvc. I expected them to flash back to before zvc, but as far as I know they didn't.

     

    So this time I'm adding a note to the box explaining what happened during the zvc update and how the 2nd part of the boot install only filled 50% and rebooted to start the next phase. Made sure they knew that and that flashing back to before that would probably be necessary.

     

    Anyway, if this time doesn't solve my problem I will be repairing it myself, or just deal with it. I don't get many calls anyway, but when there is an opportunity for a job interview and me not being capable of answering the phone, it's highly annoying.

     

    Edit: it's worth noting for the above bsrtimer post that I did a ##rtn# reset a little while after changing the bsr to 3. After the reset I checked and it was set 1. So I just left it at 1. Figure that's probably what it should be at anyway.

     

    Edit2: Samsung did that to me my previous phone. Didn't ship back my phone box. I decided I was keeping my LG box lol. Glad I did.

    Opera has some of the best Text wrapping, Dolphin is pretty good too. Google is being a slacker when it comes to making their apps user friendly.

     

    I stay irritated that on YouTube you have to pretty much sit there and toggle play/pause on the video to get it to prebuffer. Which only goes so far. I don't know why they refuse to let the app buffer videos in the background, via a sticky notification in the notification panel or something to be certain it doesn't time out. I'm honestly surprised they fixed the banner ad problem. On the g2 if you were watching a video and the banner ad popped, so did your notification and navbar. The x to close the ad was underneath the navbar though and couldn't be pressed.

     

    Lol don't even get me started on hangouts.

    By chance are you using an airave where you are receiving your calls?

    Nope, don't own one lol. [emoji53]

     

    Cross your fingers but I think this might actually solve the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/fix-lte-issues-zvd-t2839374

     

    This is different than adjusting the LTE scan timer. And when i went to set it 3 was actually the prepopulated value and not the 3000 shown as the current value. I would be curious to know the value of the bsr timer prior to the ZVD update. I saw a screen capture of another phones data engineering screen and it showed 3 for the bsr timer.

     

    I will be doing driving around today so I will see how it behaves switching from 3G to LTE.

    I checked mine. Before clicking edit the value showed 3000,clicking edit and the box only had 3 in it. Wonder if some bug was causing the triple zero? Anyway I set it to 3 I'll gauge how it goes. I've been getting dumped to 3G ever since the kitkat (zvc) update though. Prior to that I could hang on to LTE even at 115-118dBm. In home penetration isn't good at my house, but I've usually got 2-3 Bars sitting on the front porch, again though. Before kitkat I kept LTE throughout the whole home.

     

    This will be an interesting test.

    Anyone that calls me while I'm connected to LTE (band 25 is the only one up on my area). It rings once on their end and then forwards them to my voicemail. Never ever get an indication of having received a call on my end unless they leave a voicemail. Then I get a random vm icon with no explanation.

     

    Any ideas as to why this is happening?

     

    I just got the phone back yesterday. LG replaced the board chipset because when I received calls the phone would ignore my attempts to answer it. Outgoing was fine, incoming couldn't be answered.

    They don't have an the bands up yet, and not everyone has Tri-band devices. When the adoption rate of those increases, and the other bands are added speeds should level out.

     

    I'm in Anderson and the fastest I've gotten from an LTE zone is this

    That's a relatively weak signal too. It was over on Whitehall Rd I believe. Heading towards Centerville.
