Thread: Boost mobile?

Yup, one of the guys in that nextel forum is from here and he say that nextel have the ability to turn on/off the widen server remotely for some areas, also that he used to have it but is been six months without the widen capability in our area.

Thanatos.

I'll be the first to defend the awesomeness of my purchase, and it has always worked when i need instant messaging or a web page served up in a second. But stress testing it by maintaining the connection for 30+ min or by downloading 5+ files at once, and the connection likes to freeze up.

Anyone else notice this, and if so have come to a fix? It may just be the drivers+ windows fault, and if that is the case I will just go buy a serial cable and hope for the best.

What I want to acomplish is an always on gps tracking solution, and with occasional hardware crashes that doesn't seem as doable...

I've left mine on 24/7 and had no problems for about 3 weeks. Then the battery died - guessing the charger wasn't seated right. I got it recharged in house overnight, back in car, and again has been good, but now I turn it off when I stop the car (at least at night - it does seem to run a long time without much problem).

Performance has been steady (ableit slow, 10-20kbps). Just got my home ftp site running, and it was autoloading files every minute, like a champ.

Still running down my original $10 credit, too!

I think its working fine; the usb hub was bad. Connecting the phone directly to the computer and stressing the heck out of its cappabilities, and it is still going.

got my phone and my cable and this is pretty nice! the phone says its connecting at 19.2kb, so i assume i'm only in Iden mode right? My download speed was in the 2kb-3kb range, and i used it yesterday for a 4 hour drive around baltimore with whereismygps and it seemed to update quite well. One thing i've noticed is that for apparently no reason at all my phone disconnects from windows (you can hear the usb drop sound). Anyone else have this problem? Simply unplugging and replugging the phone works to get it back up. Could be the cable i'm using, its an iden cable but it did not have the i450 on the list for compatibility.

Mine also, but i was told after showing someone my CP that WIDEN was enabled on the phone!

well i guess thats a gift and a curse. Good to know i dont have to go CP hunting but bad that its THIS slow. But its still manageable

You guys do realize you can change the port speed in windows... configure modem options and change the port speed higher!

How much did that help I did know about it.....
