about 1 year ago - No comments
There’s been some anger over Rogers first deciding to disable the 3G internet of anyone with an HTC Dream that hasn’t update to their newest ROM, which fixes a 911 bug where 911 calls wouldn’t go through unless the GPS was disable. They also took the liberty of upgrading the SPL and patching the kernel More >

The current nexus one supports 3G, but only on t-mobile’s network/bands, and for a great android experience you gotta have 3g. Hopefully a Canadian carrier will pick up the Nexus and offer it More >

Its funny, I just saw this now – after scrambling to update my phone when the data stopped working in January (http://designguru.org/blog/250110/rogers-disappoints-htc-users-canada-mandatory-software-update).
Now that I have my phone updated with the 911 fix from Rogers I wonder how I can roll it back though; been searching through forums for a way to get root access so I can load cyanogen or another ROM but it seems that there’s no way to unload the 911 fix!? If you’ve got any suggestions please comment below or drop me an email.
Cheers,
