[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
I can see why you might think that but it's not contradictory because

band

and

frequency

are not the same.

If we look at the specs for the Arc, it says says '3G Network	HSDPA 900 / 2100' (that's the LT15i, the line below is the frequencies supported by the LT15a).

Those numbers refer to UMTS

bands

I and VIII as listed here.

As you can see from the page on Wikipedia, every

band

operates on two different

frequencies

, one for uploading and one for downloading. This is to avoid interference.

So even though the download

frequencies

of the 1700

band

and the 2100

band

are the same, the two

bands

are not compatible as the upload

frequencies

are different (sorry for all the underlining, it just makes it easier to explain...).

It would be a lot simpler if each

band's

upload and download

frequencies

were distinct, it would be far less confusing but I guess there's some sort of reason why things are the way they are...

I don't think so, not unless they say they support the 1700/AWS

band

.

Basically, unless a phone's specs say it supports 1700MHz for 3G (or mentions AWS support, which means the same thing), it should be assumed that it won't give you 3G on T-Mobile US.

Though this all starts to become even more confusing when local roaming agreements are factored in but I don't really know anything about that to be honest.
[Xperia Arc General] batman_112:
In short:

LT15i: 2G will work just fine on both AT&T and T-Mobile. 3G will NOT work on either network.

LT15a: 2G will work just fine on both AT&T and T-Mobile. 3G will ONLY work with AT&T.
[Xperia Arc General] felixlaw11114:
so my concerns is..if i am using T Mobile right now...it means I am doomed right? Even the new T mobile 4G(whatever they wanna call it) wont get me the right internet speed to blast the phone?
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
att bought tmobile couple of weeks back , so ask if they are sharing the 3G frequencies now
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
I am not sure that went completely though. It is still hanging with no solution...
[Xperia Arc General] felixlaw11114:
if i assume they are not sharing frequency..the only way for me to enjoy 3G/4G internet is to use AT&T?
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
'4G' has nothing to do with any of this - that's just speed, it doesn't change which band T-Mobile use.

They're not.

The merger hasn't even been approved yet, let alone any sort of migration of customers.

If

the merger is approved, you're talking anywhere from 1 year to 3 before you see any real-world differences like the ones you're suggesting.
[Xperia Arc General] felixlaw11114:
...um...I am doom-ed then..

I read their press and their said the deal wont close until the end of the year
[Xperia Arc General] Step666:
Assuming the regulators allow it to go ahead at all.

There are, rightly so, concerns about a single national GSM-based network and the knock-on effect that would have on competition.
[Xperia Arc General] felixlaw11114:
seems like I got a smart phone that not gonna be that smart :(
[Xperia Arc General] yamanote:
tmo uses 1700 downlink and 2100 uplink. phone must support both freqs to get 3G. LT15i does not support 1700, hence 3G will not work.
[Xperia Arc General] Nishua:
This clears up a lot of my questions. So I have to wait for the LT5A and I have to go back to AT&T. Hmmmm Sony isn't making this easy for any of us.
[Xperia Arc General] alsaqr:
the japanese model will work if you are in a hurry , but unlocking is up to you.

i have ordered one and am waiting to recieve it.

if you want to order a japanese model i can give you an ebay invoice to a japanese seller.
[Xperia Arc General] ahlamo:
Did the Japened Model work for you? I assume you are using TMOBILE?

Also, i am a T mobile customer (alas), and i just got my Xperia Arc yesterday. The speed of EDGE is Ok but it is no 3g :( I don't want to switch to ATT because of their data usage quota and also i would have to pay $200 to tmobile to break contract. Considering I paid $600 for the phone itself. It would have to be a big compromise.

Anyway, did Japene Arc work with tmobile 3g?
[Xperia Arc General] Nimche:
Xperia arc does NOT have any US t-mobile frequencies. That is very unfortunate but the reality. Sorry mate.

Japanese version works with att. you can read the UMTS bands on the box which is 800/850/1900/2100 and you need 1700 for t-mobile to work with this.

Yes I know there's wordfeud, however I have alot of friends with iPhones so this game is cool.

HOWEVER it freezes and force closes alot on my phone, anyone else have this issue?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] wallimo:
Yeah I have that issue also!

Hello guys,

After the latest official upgrade I am having troubles with the input methods.

I have ticked only English and Bulgarian, but I still have the Chinese as second keyboard?! Can you please help how to remove it?

Thanks

Yasen
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geronimo.X10:
Have you unchecked chinese?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aR_ChRiS:
The Chinese keyboard is another standalone keyboard in the system, which you would have to remove through TB/Root Explorer (for Chinese typists it's **** anyways so get another replacement from the market).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorbachov:
Installing new keyboard solved my problem. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harimgs:
Sorry for my bad english :P

So I finally compiled cm7 kernel for Telus Fascinate GSM PHONE(not verizon(CDMA))

changing little bit of mach-s5pv210/mach-aries.c(see attached changed keymapping part )

Telus fasinate is same as galaxys i9000 except softkey(same softkey with captivate)

so I changed the keymapping for glaxys with captivate in mach-aries.c

and than compiled it with using galaxys config

I flashed it into my phone and everything is working fine except WI-FI

It gives me error when i try to turn it on.

I also swapped bcm4329.ko and tun.ko ,but still it gives me error

If i use i9000 kernel it works fine

I tried many times comping new kernel, but still no kernel works.

any solution? or can anyone compile for me?

[Wildfire General] WillKennerley:
Every time I restart my phone all my widgets reset. This is with both the launchers I use, Launcher 7 & LauncherPro Plus. It shows the widget place holder box where the widget once was. Also my widgets on Widget Locker are deleted completely as well.

This means I must re-add all my widgets. This is a pain with extended controls and minimalistic text as these must be customised to my liking before I add them which takes a lot of time.

Neither the widgets nor the launchers or widget locker are installed on my SD. I do not use Apps2SD (the root only version).

I know this is not a ROM issue as it was fine until about a week ago (I haven't changed ROM for ages). Any ideas
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy8846:
Just wondered how hard it would be for a Dev to create a kernal that could dual boot Ubuntu and android.

Seeing as getting Ubuntu to run requires kernal mods , could this be put into say the overcome kernal and a script be made to choose what to boot?

How hard would this be??
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] naranova7:
Hi everybody- seems like samsung's not going to update the touchwiz 3 launcher on galaxy s, so i was wondering, is it possible to port the sgs2 touchwiz 4.0 launcher to original sgs devices? i really love the touchwiz launcher, and 4 seems to be ALOT better then the 3.0 version, so will we get touchwiz 4 on sgs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Kurre:
Maybe..who knows? Nobody can't say yes or no until sgs2 is available..then maybe we can expect tw4..but still it probably will take some time to see a ported version.

Btw..wrong section..

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KyojinKun:
Hi fellows!

Since this is talking about TW4, there was a video showing TW4 on the Galaxy S 1 here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_17eWhaRFs

This is obviously a fake.. and I hate people lying on others and giving theme false hope, so I made a video here proving that fake:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcGXpNSrGfY

So please if you too agree, please share the video on the first one's comment, since that little silly boy blocked me from commenting as I was right.. It would be helpful. Thanks!

As for naranova7's question: We will have to wait for a first system dump from the GSII, then, a lot of people will work on it to do a port. Wait & see. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ionutzm05:
Ok, the video is obviously fake but how did he made it? Where did he got the icons and widgets?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KyojinKun:
Well, these are just wallpapers, as I say in the video, the widgets are IN the wallpaper. And the dock icons are also in the wallpapers, so they are just static images.

And it is not TW Launcher, I think it is ADW (see the AppDrawer).

If I had more time I could make one like that, I'll see if I have enough time next week.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
Hi All,

Ive been looking at the custom roms, now finally done it to my DHD after 7 months of owning it and its now Fantastic!

Just 1 thing that confuses me though, looking at the rom i have and other roms, they describe to have the 4G connection speeds? However the DHD is a 3G handset? Can this be correct? Is it just a software change? Or is it diown to hardware and cannot be true?

Thanks in advanced.

Dobby
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbbigdave:
Im not sure on this being a software change as the 4g part requires a beefy antenna. I am guessing that this is carrying the same hardware (less a couple of toys) for the US version of the handset 4g is plausible. However Being plucky Brits we do not have a 4g network yet,

The closest we get is HSDPA which is 3.5g (7mb download apparently).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
Ahh, didnt know that 4g werent in use over here yet! lol... 3.5 aka HSDPA is what the DHD uses aint it??

Any of u really intelligent people out there know how I can transfer all my contacts and messages and such from my old E71 to my trophy? I can't find an answer anywhere!!!
[Trophy General] matthijs81:
Welcome to the forums! Glad you were able to find this site!

Export your contacts using the OVI suite to CSV. Import them in Outlook or Google Mail, Sync the WP7 phone with Outlook or Google Mail.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastman:
Hi guys,

To cut a long story short, I have a DHD turning up this afternoon that's locked to Orange but I want to use my Voda sim in it as work pay for that contract.

Now, I've read that I can downgrade the software version, that will then allow me to run the easy s-off tool that will also sim unlock the device, but ideally I want to use the phone as stock for a while before I start messing about with ROM's.

Can I upgrade the phone's official software via htc once the downgrade and sim unlock has been completed?

If I can't, what's the fastest / closest ROM available to the orange stock ROM?

Any suggestions?

I'm also worried about warranty as the phone is brand new.

Will doing any of the above void my warranty? Is there anything I can do to revert back if it is?

And just to check, have I got this right...

- new phone

- if software version higher than 1.7xx downgrade

- use One click ENG S-OFF to sim unlock

- upgrade back to latest stock version

thanks,

blastman
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawks556:
If you install a WWE (generic) stock rom then yes, on a custom rom no. But the devs keep their custom roms up to date so no need to worry about HTC updates.

I'd recommend leedroid or android revolution, but if you want as stock as possible then a WWE rom.

There's been some controversy about this. I haven't been able to find in the warranty terms that messing with the software voids the warranty. Ofcourse if you brick your device then it's another story. But your phone can always be returned to as it was when you got it, so no problem there.

You'll need radio s-off, not eng s-off.

Follow these two guides from jkoljo:

[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6

[TOOL][VIDEO] One click Radio S-OFF,

SimUnlock

(Easy Root & S-OFF Guide)

When you're done you will have a 1.32 WWE rom with root, simunlock and radio s-off. I wouldn't recommend upgrading to higher version stock rom because you really don't gain much and higher versions are unrootable.

Or if you insist on updating you can try following this guide

And if if you decide on a custom rom (which I really recommend) then you can read further from their respective threads.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastman:
that sir, is perfect.

thank you.

I'm not new to xda has I've had several phones that's I've flash before, but it's been a while and as with every new phone I need a catch-me-up.

thanks :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morality:
About the warranty..

I remember someone on xda saying they haven't heard of a SINGLE case, where rooting/custom rom would have denied warranty repair/replacecment.

Also, if you're not afraid, you would ultimately win in court, even if they did. If you have watched the iPhone news, Geohot won the case against Apple regarding jailbreaking: It's your device, you can do what you want with it :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blastman:
That's good to know.

Many thanks :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveP3:
Hi,

Why not just buy a SIM unlock code from one of the many online sellers ?

I did this prior to rooting my branded (Orange UK) to run my German O.Tel.O SIM and had no dramas with OTA.

so has anyone noticed that any new numbers entered in the tb is not syncing to you google contact list? i have all settings correct in the syncing settings.. set to google to synch contacts but yet theres no upward syncing going on at all. this worries me because i change androids so often i dont want to loose all my contacts here on on...

has anyone figured out this and how to fix the sync? i hope this is not a sense thing...

When I get new contacts I usually export my contacts on to my SD card and when I flash a new ROM i, import from my SD card. Ive noticed my new contacts dont upload to gmail as well.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akanatrix:
When you input a contact into the phone, you have to select it as a "Gmail" contact instead of a "Phone" contact. Very easy to miss this option when you are putting a contact in. Once you have the contact in, I don't know of a way to change them to Gmail contacts other than doing some weird import/export thing.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Black.Heart:
I used both XDAndroid and Neopeek builds. In both builds, notification LED turns on during deep sleep and there is no way to turn it off again until you use LED Effect and do a LED test. Then it blinks (as a test) and turns off, but it stays off until next sleep!! It's really annoying to see your LED turned on when you don't use your phone. The only reason that I don't use these builds much is that. Everything else is working fine or about fine! (I'm still waiting for the NAND version)... So guys, do you have any suggestions to help me out with? It's really important to me...

TIA. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Black.Heart:
I know why XDAndroid developers did this. That's for debugging and see whether your phone is working or not during sleep (I mean deep sleep). But I prefer to see it working normally like it does in WinMo. So dear ReWind402, what should users (like me) do?! :D

===================

I should mention that one of my boots didn't turn LED on. LED effects worked just fine and it blinked during new messages (but 3 times) and when I turned the phone off, it didn't turn on. But in the next boot, it didn't happen again :(

And one more question: Could we change the color of this LED? Cause I saw a program named Light flow or smthg that had options to change the color!! Lime, Green, Orange, Purple, Red, Yellow,...!!!! Is this possible?

TIA (again!)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Black.Heart:
Over 214 views and still no replies! Come on guys :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
Hey Black.Heart,

Sry for the little delay :p, anyway, for now there is nothing that can be done regarding disabling the led notification because its hardcoded in the kernel. As you know the led notification is used by devs for debugging reasons. The nand development and .35 kernel development is ongoing and in good shape, when the build will be usable, stable for day to day use the devs will restore the winmo led behaviour and remove all other debugging stuff.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Black.Heart:
Thanks ReWind. I've got no news from NAND build... What's it's status? DFT didn't publish anything new since that RHODIUM slow NAND build... Is XDAndroid team and DFT working together or separately? And thanks for your response (even with delay! :D)

And what about that boot I mentioned above? The one where LED was acting like WinMo? Do you have any ideas how did I reach that?!?!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] ReWind402:
DFT and XDAndroid teams are working separately, DFT finished porting MAGLDR and now they are working on the rom ( 2.6.32 kernel), XDAndroid team made their own bootloader also and they are working on a good 2.6.35 kernel rewriting it from zero. Anyway they are collaborating in some cases... Regarding that case i dunno maybe android did not loaded leds properly or something else,... i am just guessing dont know, could be anything... The guys are also working on rewriting the battery algo from scratch and the ril ( radio interface layer ).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] Black.Heart:
.35 kernel is awesome... Can't wait to try it... Wow, didn't know that you've made a different bootloader... very cool... XDAndroid builds are the most stable builds yet. Can't wait to try the NAND... When it's expected to finish developing? Cause a lot of people like me are leaving their Topaz as their primary smartphone... And I hope this oldie can finally get a "functional"-not a fully one-Android OS.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Link_of_Hyrule:
I just figured this out thought I would share it if you open these links in your android's web browser and hold down on the flash you can make the games full screen and play almost as if they were an app takes a bit to load but works good unfortunately some of these may not save. So far Plants VS Zombies has resumed for me after it loaded and I clicked play.

Requires Flash and Firefox 4 Mobile will not work!!

Plants VS Zombies

Bejewled 2

Bejeweled 3

Bejeweled Twist

Zuma 2

Big Money

Talismania

Unfortunately the other games on popcap don't seem to be flash so you can't directly play them on android unless someone knows a way to extract them from the site like this.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bigcanoe:
Nice! What browser would you say plays these the best?

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] bigcanoe:

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Link_of_Hyrule:
Yes you do need flash for it to work also apparently saving does work on Plants vs Zombies I haven't really tested the others too much except bejeweled 3 works good I know I just extracted the exact address to the swf files and posted their links. Hopefully you guys all figured out how to get it to go full screen!
[Xoom General] Lothaen:
... whats the first things you'll be doing with it...?

what apps to be installed?

what accessories will you be purchasing?

I stuck on vPlayer, google maps, google body

sent across a few movies, a few high def pics, and familiarised myself with the layout of stuff - I keep losing the 'back' button and also sadly only just realised the 'home' button is like a little house (not an UP arrow which I thought for awhile!)

However, I now think I should get myself one of the portfoilo cases (unless anyone has a better alternative?) to keep it tidy and it doubles up as a stand by the looks of it which will be handy.

also will be wanting to invest in a bluetooth retro gamepad/wii controller and try out PSX/n64 games - would love to be able to play some of those again without having to set up my old consoles!

will try and dig out an old bluetooth keyboard and see if that works too perhaps

oh and a HDMI cable :)
[Xoom General] j1mmyg88:
For me I have stuck a load of app onto it, messed around with the browser, stuck a few HD vids on there, and messed around with the home screen. I tell you what, the browser is phenomenal, can't believe how good it is, changing the plugins to on demand only does help massively. Battery life seems good so far, but who can tell this far in, mine came with 66% charge on it, charged to max and im still going this mlorning, done a help of a lot on it too, played a few game whilst listening to the radio at the same time (tunein radio), watching you tube, and watching my videos. Im thinking of getting a case for it too, but I really want a dock for it aswell, im thinking that speaker HD dock might go nicely with it.
