microSDHC cards for BenchmarkIf you have a smart phone they you likely also have an microSDHC card for storage of your photos, videos, and Apps.  However all microSDHC cards are not created equal.  In this blog I will run some benchmarks on a few cards I had laying around.  I will test a Sandisk 16GB class 2 microSDHC, a Samsung 8GB class 6 microSDHC, and a Lexar 32GB class 10 microSDHC memory card.

Upgrading to an HTC Sensation 4G

Jun 26, 2011 by Paul White

HTC Sensation 4GMy Current Cell Phone is an HTC HD2 that I ported to Android 2.3.  There hasn't been much reason to upgrade, as most phones had the same screen size, or the same resolution.  Finally the HTC Sensation has arrived.  In my opinion its the logical upgrade from my HD2.  Same 4.3" LCD, higher Resolution, and 8 MP camera with 1080P video recording, along with 1.2 Ghz Dual Core snap dragon CPU.

Tmobile 3G Sim Card vs 2G Sim Card

May 10, 2011 by Paul White

t-mobile logoAfter being with T-Mobile for a little over a year, I almost had the last straw with poor 3G connectivity. That was until I figured out there are two types of Sim Cards.  2G Sim Cards and 3G Sim Cards. If you have been having dropped calls and poor 3G data coverage, you need to visit a T-Mobile store and they will gladly exchange out your 2G Sim card for a 3G Sim card, and its free too!  I know what you are thinking?  How can I tell which sim card I have?  Read this article for the details.

how to Root a mytouch 3g Slide

Mar 5, 2011 by Paul White

Rooted Tmobile 3G SlideRecently I bought a Tmobile MyTouch 3g Slide off ebay for about $200.  Of course the stock 3g slide comes with lots of nice features, but lacks stuff like teathering and wifi router that tmobile would rather you not have or pay extra for.  The easiest way around this is to root your phone and then update it with one of the many custom ROMs available on the web.  Well let me just say that this rooting experience was not easy.  But if you are serious about getting it done and want the best tutorial to do it, I know just the place.

T-Mobile Houston 3G network gets boost in Pearland

Jun 23, 2010 by Paul White

Tmobile 3G Houston PerformanceToday my Comcast Cable Modem Service went out again.  So I plugged my HTC HD2 phone into my desktop via the USB cable, loaded up Internet Sharing and started tethering.  In the past I would get terrible speeds ( mostly due to not being able to get a strong enough 3G signal.  If I was at home, I was on Edge ( 14KB - 20KB ) transfers at best.  If I was near the towers the speeds were better, but they still couldn't touch AT&T's HSDPA.  So today when I plugged my phone into workstation I wasn't expecting anything special.  But instead I got a big surprise. 3.53 Mb/s downstream, 1.44 Mb/s Upstream via tethering with my HD2 on the Tmobile 3G network in Pearland ( Houston )
