[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael2041:
Maybe the 4G tower is down? I'm not sure if roms have to be specially made to support HSPA+ because a) HSPA+ is the same technology as 3G so it should be backwards compatible; and b) the HSPA+ chip in the mytouch is only 14.4 mbps which is the fastest HSPA(3G) chip, not 21 which is HSPA+. I think.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ice_:
check your coverage map on tmobile.com I have had the same issue and I almost started flaming rom cookers... even on cm7 I get 3g speeds. turns out the part of town I live in has low 4g coverages. Usually stock roms only have the H or H+ icon on the framework. so even when you're on 3g it shows H, even when you're on 4g it shows H. on custom roms notice you have 3 different icons. (or 4) H, 3g, EDGE, (GPRS)

H stands for 4g. mostly on custom roms this shows up when there is STRONG 4g signals

3g shows up all the time even though if a stock similar device such as another mytouch or a g2 shows H.

and edge/ gprs is self explanatory.

some roms may come with kernels that may have botched LIBS that prevent 4g connection (ie cooked roms from european phones like- desire HD etc...). get a friends phone that is similar IE a vibrant 4g, g2 or a mytouch and run speed tests using the OOKLA app on market. You will get the same results when his **** shows H and when your **** shows 3g.

Oh and they and you will be surprised at how much cell carriers lie to us about coverage :D

I live in North Houston and I can get full 4g speeds 2% of my usage times per month

I did this the other day with similar WHITE MYTOUCHES, one was bone STOCK no root, and one was root with cm 7- royal ginger 1.5

I live in Orlando Florida so my 4g coverage is beyond great lol. I had the galaxy s 4g and I never seen 3g on it. I kno this is a older device so 4g won't be as great as the sgs4g but it dosent mean I shouldn't pick it up at all
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urmothersluvr:
This is weird. I speed test on full 3g nd I get 9 dwn and 2 up. So its 4g just no Rom will say h
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Call it dial-up, call it hand signals, call it morse code. If you are getting 9 down 2 up you are making 99% of t-mobile users jealous. Simple as that.

Lol... I have to drive 1.5 miles just to get cell service to make a regular cell call. Wifi calling is the only way I can use my phone.

I live in Miami Beach and since last week I no longer get 4g I have tried several roms and it never says H only 3g when I check phone info it says umts. But on my vibrant I get 4g
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urmothersluvr:
I have the same exact problem but I have the speed of 4g just no H on my status bar
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khook1061:
Yep my speeds are 4g on the my touch even though it never says HSPA just UMTS. But on speed test my vibrant is faster not sure why.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urmothersluvr:
It seems like the 4g issue is with custom roms not the stock rom. I flashd stock with root and I never seen 3g only H the whole time
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oberschutze:

Hey guys,I installed swype on my wf many months ago,but I noticed that every time I reboot the phone it doesn't swype,it only works as a normal qwerty,and every time I have to change qwerty to the standard one and again to swype. Suggestions to get it work at its first start?

PS.Sorry for my bad English...
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] NickHu:
It's a know issue, it's because of HTC's "hot booting". Basically it's in a rush to load the system when you turn it on, and it misses out some stuff, like initialising Swype. The only workaround for now is switching to standard keyboard and back, but hey, how often do you reboot your phone anyway? :P
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] wildfire-user:
Ok,got it,so for now nothing to do...However I didn't mean reboot but shutting down the system for the night.;-)

Thanks for reply!
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] NickHu:
Doesn't matter, reboot, power off, it's the same really. The problem is the booting process.

I am not sure if I have any market wierdness going on. I have (I think), the latest TNT lite installed. When I search for certain market apps, like USA Today or Facebook, they do not appear. When I search online it says they exist in the market.

I just sort of assumed that once I loaded a ROM, that I would have access to the full market.

Couple adapters, hdmi to dvi, dvi to vga, I'm not sure if they make hdmi to vga.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeffrey146:
First of you got to understand that VGA is an analog signal(the wave signal) and HDMI is digital. There is no simple way this can be done. Because you have to change from digital to analog you are most likely need to purchase a converter box of some sort.

I want to use the SGS in the car. My radio has a line in, and I want to charge the SGS through the official charger.

When I connect the Galaxy S to the charger, there is a small voltage (0.3 volt) between the line out ground and the ground of the car.

The radio input ground is at 0 volts.

Now the question is: do people just connect this up, or is that a risk and should I make an audio cable with some capacitors in series?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gschier:
I can't comment about whether it is safe or not, but I have the car charger (cigarette lighter) and have listened to my music many times with no problems through the audio line-in. I did notice a slight humming noise when listening, which can be annoying at times, but other than that everything was fine.

Hopefully someone else can answer in more technical terms.:D:p

[Android Apps and Games] svtfmook:
apparently 0 BMX'ers here, lol, either way, i created another simple BMX related app. Mobile Moto Control will record your moto number and gates for the race day. Moto's are the race you're in, gates are the lanes you start from in each race. It's just a way to record it, then you can quickly check your moto and gates in the pit before heading up to staging.

used app inventor to create it, so it's not a very complex app.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18137302/MobileMotoControl.apk

even if you don't race BMX (which i don't think there's anyone else here that does, lol), check it out. for sampling, motos can be any number from 1-300. gates can be any number from 1-10. you race the same moto (moto number) 3 times, each time from a different gate.

here's a video sample of this app and my gearcalc app

WOW. Just the apk alone brings back memories of Greg Hill, Stu Thompson, Eric Roupe, Dave Mira, Pistol Pete, ect. Used to race in the 80's as well in Illinois. Had a Redline 500a.

It's a shame because it kept alot of kids occupied. Kudoos on the apk.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] webbiworm:
Hi guys, i dont know where to post this but here goes!!!!

Before the arrival of the Nand version of the android, there were many SD versions of the android that had a glitch with the camera focus, which the dev teams have ironed out. The problem was that when the camera was focused on a close object (video rec) and then the record was started, the camera will not auto adjust to other object but stay fixed on the focus point it was when you started. This was fixed with the button feature that was within the menus (auto focus on/off).

This may of been a problem for most users but was an excellent feature for the Mobile Directors (my university film crew). We decided that we will do all of our university film projects using my fantastic HD2 and this glitch feature played a vital role. I have been meaning to post our work here for a long time but never had the chance as it is our final majors. But i have uploaded 1 of the first video's we made long time ago using that glitch for the builds.

Now what i need help with is if those DEV SUPER TEAMS can look into this feature again and put it into the new builds so that we can carry on making amazing films with our HD2 :D if it is possible. The problem is that i cant find the old build i had and the new builds don't have this feature.

Before you say anything please look at the 1 min vid which we created with the focus problem (by focusing on foreground the background is blurred) that i am talking about and share your thoughts on the matter. (i will upload some more soon).

http://vimeo.com/22366901?ab

Filmed in black and white - please note the blurred focus scenes that were done using the glitch. FILMED ONLY USING HTC HD2 with very basic editing.

p.s. i posted this in Q&A but had no response so here it is :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Which Rom are you using. I did a quick record test using the rom in my signature and it seems to focus fine when panning from a close object to infinity.

noellenchris
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Derek0228:
Well, as I understood, thats what he DOESN'T want. I think he wants the glitch but he can't find the old rom he was using.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Duh,,,lol, well sorry about my misread. :P Well, I'm not sure where the issue was or fixed. But if you were using a sense rom or regular android, that would be a start as they use diff camera apk's.

Also, I think there were many settings in the media_profiles.xml in the root/system/etc folder that at least change the video size and maybe something that affects the focus.

If I now understand it correctly, what you really need is a "manual focus" control.

noellenchris
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
Good news! I tried some test video's using lgcamera (free in the Market) and if you tap on the screen it will focus on the close object and stay out of focus until you tap on the screen. Also I used Videocam illusion pro (not free) which I bought and tested the focus and it works like the LGcamera app. I think the Videocam illusion pro is better though, as it has some really cool effects you can also use.

Has anyone tried buying a non official battery for their MS2 and care to comment or recommend any? Im going on holiday to france and i know my phone wont last a whole day without charging, so I was thinking of buying a second battery.
[Milestone 2 General] frenetico:
I read in another forum that using a non-Motorola battery displays some kind of warning. I'd go with an original battery. ;)
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
using a non-original battery could have detrimental effects on your phone. there was a discussion on this on the forum of another phone. using a non-original battery could lead to leaks and other problems which would eventually lead to the warranty of your phone being voided.

stick with original motorola products. yes the battery might be very underpowered, but its the safest bet to ensure the longevity of ur phone
[Milestone 2 General] Emacore:
With a non original battery, the battery indicator of your phone shows a interrogation symbol. Also, it does not charge with the phone charger.

[Milestone 2 General] cmxyz:
I 'm using a non-original battery . The MOMAX and everything's good ,it feels just like the original one except for battery tempperature sensor. the temp is always 26 in celsius
[Milestone 2 General] metalron:
I personally have used seidio for my milestone and it works like a charm, its the extended 2800mah one it really performs like it should and not like how a lot of people claim thats its way less than stock! It does not always read it correctly but a quick reboot fixes that, like 50% after reboot would usually be about 70-80%. They way i used to use my phone (light to moderate level) would last about 2-3 days but after the extended I got twice that and some more. Just make sure you get stuff from the original manufactures either way and don't go for deals at amazon or whatnot as those guys might be selling either defected or not proprely stored stuff. Batteries are critical components don't go cheap on them! And no, my phone has not been messed up or had any leaks or anything and I have this for about 3-4 months now. The original battery degraded in about 6months if you have to compare.
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
That sounds promising, does the battery need to be charged with an external charger? And does the milestone complain that you are not using the official bettery
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
reebooting your phone to get the exact picture also works on the standard battery. my question is, does the back part which houses the battery heat up when used? does the phone get hot during charging? do you need a new battery cover for it? and besides the longer usability, have you noticed any other performance issues on the phone?
[Milestone 2 General] metalron:
Actually the rebooting to get the exact picture is not the same here, a jump to 20-30% on a stock battery? I don't think so. No I never encountered any odd behavior with the other battery. No getting extra hot during charge or use, get the typical little bit of heat while using 3G and browsing like mad but that would happen on the stock battery too. Battery cover for a 2800? of course, that stuff is huge! its protrudes like mad! a quick heads up though, the extended battery for the milestone 1 and 2 can use the same extended batteries. Don't know about the droid x though. Anyways, no performance issues, no heat while charging. The back covers supplied by these after market guys are not the best quality though so if you are someone who loves dropping phones and what not would recommed getting a spare back cover from the guys you get the batts from.

No, I use my original charger and no complains or warnings by the phone. Not on the milestone 1 at least. In fact some times i use my ipod's adapter so no big issue. And it charges at the same pace as the stock, additional 1 hour or whatever. restart the phone to getting a proper reading as it shows 100% but upon restart its 70-80% since only the stock level is charged. I hear this app called battery left does great for calibration.
[Milestone 2 General] metalron:
ALSO a thing to note, I only know of Seidio and Mugen to be relialbe after market battery guys hence their hefty pricing at times. The others claiming to have bigger batteries have cheated people with stickers and what not and usually end up underperforming and degrading considerably faster than burning paper! I remember 1USD batteries for nokias back in the day good for a quick one time run i suppose but these 1USD guys are now selling them with a better branding for like 20-40 USD.

Anyways Sedio and Mugen have facebook profiles and keep people posted on the latest on devices usually there, although its kind of sad since seidio have not followed through promised products at times.
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
thanks for the info mate. ill do a lil more research and probably check it out myself.
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Thanks for the info i have bought a Seidio Innocell Extended Life for Motorola milestone 2 from mobilefun £30.49 its the 1500mah version same size as original battery so no extra cover is required.
[Milestone 2 General] metalron:
Cool but as I suggested try and get them off the manufactures themselves as I have noticed some people complaining when purchased via 3rd party retailers.

Also another bud of mine had picked up one for the Nexus one, that phones back cover is a full one unlike the moto's and he too can vouch for the products positive performance. Either ways also check out some reviews from amazon.com for peace of mind.
