[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
On my Captivate, I could customize the radio to remove and add bands. Is there a way to do this on the Inspire? I live in an area where we have so many towers that even though I'm considered in the "best" coverage zone, my phone rapidly hops towers. Setting my Captivate to use the 1900 band only eliminated this issue entirely.

I may have to return the phone if I can't do this because I constantly drop calls and data. The worst is when I am on a phone call - it will go from HSPA to EDGE and then the data connection icon disappears entirely until I get off the phone and/or the call drops - my Captivate did this as well until I set it as 1900 only.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:
I think one of the custom roms had this option, just can't remember which one. I know one of the desire based roms had a selection setting to force it to one or the other or to set it to automatic.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
I would be extremely interested in this. I am considering making a post in development about it because seriously, I am sick of trying to make a call and it fails because there is no signal, then I wait 30 seconds and I have full signal, get on the call, and it drops out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake06:
This would be sweet to have, my phone is constantly doing the dame thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
Honestly, its a trade off - on my Captivate, I have to lock it as WCDMA 1900 - which means that when I drive somewhere that DOESN'T have 1900 (pretty rare in Colorado) AND HSDPA or 3G, I can't make a call but switching the band takes all of 5 seconds. I can tell you that 1900 here at home though locks and doesn't let go whereas 850 does. My SIM is currently in my Captivate because I'm going to call them and try to make a case for a microcell again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tribalartgod:
On your phone, dial *#*#4636#*#* ...then select "Phone Information"

In this menu, you can change and set several things, including which band you use. This is on EVERY android phone, regardless of the ROM. You change these settings at your own risk.
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
Don't return it cause of that..! I've already got the 1900/850(wcdma/gsm) toggle in my sense rom, I just haven't included it yet cause I'm working on a 3g/edge toggle as well, and wanted to have both together, but since people want that wcdma/gsm toggle now ill finish it up 100% this weekend hopefully, update my rom with it and post just that by itself so people on other roms can use it as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
850MHz has WCDMA as well... Setting it to WCDMA/GSM is irrelevant, as you can be on 850 and still on WCDMA.

You have to be able to specify the 1900MHz or 850MHz bands themselves if that is all you want; rather than the auto-switching the phones are supposed to do.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
That is exactly what I want. I want to force the 1900 band only. On my Captivate, the only way to do this was to force WCDMA 1900 OR GSM 1900, there was no way to have GSM AND WCDMA 1900 because of how Samsung set up the frequency manager.

I'll try the *#*#4636#*#* mentioned earlier.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EtherealRemnant:
The phone doesn't respond to anything I set in *#*#4636#*#* - it automatically reverts back to HSDPA.

I also figured out my problem. Using OpenSignal, I did a tower map. As I thought, I have too many towers. There is one tower that is literally at the top of my block that gives me the worst signal and there are two other towers it connects to - one of them is about 4 blocks away from the other tower and gives me an okay signal and the other one is about a mile away and that gives me the best signal but it doesn't stay locked to any specific tower. Even sitting in the exact same spot, it keeps jumping around.

Oh and you can only select "USA bands", not individual bands from that menu as well :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] ravishahuja:
I can only use edge(gsm) 850 band in my office, rest of them don't work.

I used to select it very easily on my captivate using the *#2263#, but there is no such thing on Inspire 4G. Is there anyway to do the same on Inspire 4g??
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
You mean this?

*#*#4636#*#*

Sent from my calculator
[HTC Inspire 4G] ravishahuja:
on Captivate i could *#2263# and toggle between bands. GSM/3G or 850/1900.

on Captivate i could *#2263# and toggle between bands. GSM/3G or 850/1900.

On inspire *#2263# doesn't work. I tried *#*#4636#*#* as well. If i try to change bands it again defaults back to WCDMA. I can never switch to GSM bands.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thekurrgan:
If you live in a major area then its not uncommon to have up to 12 monitored cell sites capable of serving your phone.

I have both bands as well, and here is some info that may be of interest:

In areas that have both, there is a rather seemingly obscure pecking order:

Havoc is caused due to this:

Phone has every band available to it. Great! or, not really.

Here is the election process:

Tower sends out its info on the 850 wcdma carrier announcing as primary.

Tower sends out its SAME info on the 1900 wcdma carrier as secondary.

GSM primary is 1900 for association, 850 for data / voice with roll back to 1900.

The phone sends a limited amount of data to the towers when it hooks up, and in this data is the list of "Ranked" cell site ID's. (WCDMA ONLY, forget GSM for now)

The tower then is aware of what other sites can serve you should it become to busy. Using this and various factors, it will decide to either keep you on sector X primary, bump you to secondary carrier, or dump you completely. If it dumps you completely it is a forced hand off and not a graceful one, and you drop signal completely momentarily and then gain it back, but connect to a different cell id. However, that NEW cell ID only hears you at -104, useable but weak, and has 300 other phones it hears at -80 or better.. It has to pick some one to drop, and it picks you. Start the cycle all over again.

Disabling the 850 band stops this, because 1900 goes far shorter of a range and has far less people using it typically.. therefore the stronger site doesnt drop you because your phone reports no where to go. It also (in the case of the captivate) does not respond to requests to switch to GSM, as it will report no gsm availability when in forced wcdma mode.

Fundamentally, this is a misconfiguration on AT&T's part, since this little scenario shouldnt happen with proper sector alignment and tilting.

You did mention that you are in colorado, and AT&T has absolutely NO idea how to deal with radio towers and mountains. They seem to forget that not the entire world is flat.

If it is an option, I'd recommend a switch to Verizon, as it is unlikely this particular problem will ever go away.

Also, as to a Micro-Cell, know going in that those little buggers get the lowest possible priority.. meaning that if your phone can hear a real tower, its going to use that first. You'll have to fight it to get it on the m-cell.

Also, all Micro-Cell's are WCDMA 850 only, with no GSM or WCDMA 1900.

They also do not use HSPA, but instead use older UMTS technology (Who really cares at this point, if you are in range of a M-Cell you can use wifi.)

Other option: Disable 3G for the area you would use the M-Cell.

GSM shouldnt give the same problem WCDMA gives. The entire election process is completely different, and frankly works better than the WCDMA deployment AT&T used.

EDIT:

Wow sorry I didnt read the dates else I would have known this thread was a corpse. Found it looking for a WCDMA 1900 inspire lock option.

OK, first and foremost...I am a newbie here, so forgive me if this has already been done. Second, Hi to all. Now, I have a TP2 and I love the way the display looks. The clock, the weather, and especially the little navigation tabs at the bottom of the screen (Today tab, email tab, stocks tab, etc). However...Windows Mobile has become sadly disappointing. Is there a way that I can have the best of two worlds? I would like to have Android for my OS, but keep the phone looking the way it is now. Is that possible?

Anyone else have this issue? I heard about the bug in 2.2 that caused phase 2 authentication to not hold, but it appears it made it to 3.0. When trying to connect to my work network, I select MSCHAPv2, and other appropriate settings; however no connection is made. When I go back into the settings, the phase 2 authentication is set to none.

I have tried creating the connection manually, resetting the connect over and over, still no luck. Any ideas?

Have the same issue!

Brgds,

[Xoom General] Timbledore:
I have mine working here in my office without issue.

The key thing you need is the Cert.

On my network, there are 2 ways to get it.

1. Find the .cer file and put it on the ROOT of the "SDCard" (internal storage)

1.	Be sure the {filename}.cer file is on the ROOT of your SD Card (not inside any folders)

2.	From Home Screen, go into Menu > Settings

3.	Depending on your phone, you may see either:

a.	Location & Security

b.	Security​

4.	Go into whichever menu option you have

5.	Scroll to the bottom and click Install from SD card

6.	You will either be prompted to import and create a password (which should be something you will remember) or you will see an error that no certs could be found. This is normal and does not mean it will not work, just continue with the steps below and all should be fine.

7.	Next turn on Wi-Fi

8.	Go into Wi-Fi Settings

9.	Click Add-Wi-Fi Network and enter the following:

a.	SSID: {Your-SSID-Here} (Case Sensitive!!!)

b.	Security: 802.1x Enterprise or 802.1x EAP (Not all devices will have this option)

c.	CA Certificate: None Specified (here, you MUST click on the None Specified and then click again on the None Specified in order for the cert to be picked up on your SD Card. Not all devices will have this option)

d.	User Certificate: None Specified (this one can be left alone. Not all devices will have this option)

e.	EAP Method: PEAP

f.	Phase 2 authentication: MSCHAPV2

g.	Identity: Your Domain account name (you do not need to put {DOMAIN}\ in front of your user name)

h.	Anonymous identity: Leave this BLANK

i.	Wireless Password: Your DOMAIN domain password​

Note: On some devices or ROM’s (for those that are rooted), you will be prompted for the Cert Password when re-connecting to the W-Fi Network; this will be the password you used in step 6.

2. Log into the Guest Wireless account, fire up the browser and log into when asked. This will download the cert.

Once either of those are done, set up your wireless connection and it works.

Now, I know it's different for other networks out there, but give me some info and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks.

Does any one have the problem?

When I forgot to insert the SD card when flashing WP7, the market downloads were blazing fast. Unfortunately I had to reset the phone with the card in place and after that, now the downloads are crawling.

Do you know why? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Sohip:
maybe it's because MicroSD memory is usually slower than Nand memroy.

Idk if by upgrading to a higher sdcard class will improve performance, but if u have another memory card around (with has different Class or Brand) why don't you test it with the market apps downloads and come back and tell us if u noticed any changes in performance?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
no no no no,

righty, first things first, try reflashing with the SD in, it shouldnt make any difference over a hard reset but its worth the shot.

the reason its slow assuming the above doesnt work is because your SD card isnt compatible, there is some evidance that formatting the SD card in a digital camera has some effect but i think the best performance comes from cards that work from the outset.

note there isnt any list of compatibe cards, DO NOT assume that any card "recomended" by anyone will work.

statistically you have a better chance with a class 2 or 4 card, but that doesnt mean a class 6 or 10 wont work, no brand of card is above this issue, sandisk suffer just as much as the next brand.

in short, its luck if you can get one that works or not, theres nothing else too other than try sticking to class 2 or 4.

oh if your running a class 2 card fine, dont assume a class 4 will be quicker, it might not, it just depends on teh card...and a spot of luck1
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] chvvkumar:
Thanks for the reply! :)

I have the stock sandisk class 2 card that came with the phone. I think it might be similar to when Android was on SD card and the market downloads were really slow too. But after RAM builds and NAND builds came along, the dolwnloads happen blazingly fast.

Anyway, thanks for replying ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammydr10:
Hey there...

Can someone tell me what is the difference between the Stock GingerBread rom xboarder56 and CM& or Ultimate Droid Rom?

thanks :-)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
Both ultimate droid and xboarder are based of CM7. Both have differnt approaches. Xboader is trying to make his rom as close to stock as possible by removing CM stuff. And the UD rom adds loads of functionality, in UD the cm setting has been replaced with UD settings and it gives you the option to change boot anims, fonts and loads of other cool stuff. Both are really nice and fast I have tried both but I still allways come back to latest CM7 nightly.

Best bet is to try them all for your self and see which one you prefer. Just do a nandroid of your current rom, get both downloaded and give them a whirl.

The filesize certainly looks better for a full modem but alas,.. after flashing still on DK28.

I was assuming I could use this method to get rid of DK28 but,.. apparently not

[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Figured I'd chime in here...

From my experience, flashing bml12 doesn't change the baseband... no one knows exactly why. I've tried numerous times with both redbend_ua and bmlwrite to no avail.

I've attempted it recently with combo flashing modem.bin and the modem_delta.bin, also without success.

If you can make it happen, then I'll tip my hat to ya.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LiberatorUSA:
I converted a DI18 rom (Epic_Experience_v1.2.09.zip) from Amend to edify and CWM did flash it. Now however Im stuck at the boot screen. No doubt because this rom does not support ext4.

Thus I need a full rom which is not DK28 which supports ext4.

Using Odin and also OneClickRoot doesnt work because ever since DK28 was flashed the USB has been broken. Multiple people reported this problem with DK28. So I'm glad for that amend2edify tool. Now to find a good rom....

i tried it and it doesnt work for me either. i get script aborted(no error message) E:Error in /sdc (status 7)

Thats what I got before flashing CM7 Alpha 4.

I suspect that if I get past that assert I'll get the same error again.

The ReRFS thing didn't work btw, I'm still on ext4 with apparently no way back to RFS. But at least thanks to CM7 you have a ROM that boots almost anything which is great.

If status 7 means incompatible,.. I'm presuming Android is not actually checking the module itself but rather just reading some config from somehwhere no? Can't we just tell it what it wants to hear whatever that is?

I'd love to get the USB problem fixed because then we could just use Odin again.

I'm still confused as to how the modem broke the USB. It doesn't work from CWM3 either because it can't find some file. I dont know if that is the same thing preventing it from working when booted up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] richse:
Have you tried buying a nice USB cable from amazon? I thought my USB had broken after DK28 too but it was just my cable.
