i don't get the locked APN

I had previously manually entered henry's APN settings though....thanks for the feedback.

[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
Not sure if it is because of the fix or what but pic messages take a long time to send. The data icon shows activity for a second then it just stalls for about 2 minutes and finally sends. This is using the handcent app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dallasjim:
I am in down town Dallas and see no change. I barely see 2mbps up load and 1.2 down. What APN do you use?
[HTC Inspire 4G] entropism:
Still fluctuating like crazy, but that seems to be AT&T around here more than anything. I hit a high of 5.1mb down, 2mb up, and 30 minutes later in the same spot got 300k/150k.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
I'm using the apn after transfering the telephony file. You select the medianet then reboot twice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
I lost all data after flashine the file where you said "try This" and had to restore a nandroid to get mobile data back.

Trouble installing PD98IMG.zip

I'm embarrassed to say this but I'm having trouble flashing the radio file PD98IMG.zip. In Clockwork Recovery (v3.0.2.6) The install initiates but then aborts with no errors other than "Installation Aborted". I've never had problems installing roms before. My current radio is 12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M and I'm using Miui 1.4.15 (1.8 over clock version) as my rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
You can't flash a PD98IMG.zip in CWM, you have to use hboot. adb reboot bootloader, then hit power once, or hold VOL - and power when phone is off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] otakonx:
I'm an idiot. Thanks, I'll give that a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
Or you could just use the quick boot app and reboot into bootloader. A lot easier if you're not near a computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] willzzz88:
MAYBE you guys need to *READ* up on the 3GPP network engineering specs like everyone else!?

The speed increases have to do with AT&T actually ACTIVATING HSPA+ up to category 14:

HSPA+	Release 7	13	15	64-QAM	.82	17.6

HSPA+	Release 7	14	15	64-QAM	.98	21.1

which is the recent result of AT&T upgrades to their entire US network (almost 100% done, will be done by *COMPLETELY* by the 15th I read...) to

HSPA+ Cat. 14 21.1Mbps download per UMTS carrier and HSUPA 5.76Mbps Cat. 6.

This is the result of those upgrades.

Also busy urban areas seeing 4th carriers (40MHz used total; 20MHz send, 20MHz receive) and sub-urban areas that aren't so busy seeing 3rd carriers (30MHz used total; 15 and 15) respectively.

REMEMBER in HSPA+/UMTS the *TRAFFIC* is BALANCED DYNAMICALLY between CS (circuit switched voice) and data which is MORE efficient than ancient CDMA which is spread seperately.

So it will go up and down depending on network load and demand in your area.

Try testing @ 0300 when no-one is using the network whether it's calling or voice. You should get up to 10-12Mbps real world on the Inspire (HSDPA 14.4). The new Samsung Infuse 4G is actually fully HSPA+ Cat. 14 or 21Mbps down like T-Mobile's is.

The only other devices with full HSPA+ 21/5.76 are the laptop sticks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] willzzz88:
To take advantage and increased reliability the newest ROM needs to be applied also. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
OK, I am not going to go on a point by point repudiation of this. I will say, that yes, the build.prop HSDPA and HSUPA settings for now are fine on 10 and 6. It is not NECESSARY to change them.

However, you DO understand that proper modem firmware as well as the ability to properly authenticate on the AT&T network DO matter, right?

The ROM perspective

Almost all custom ROM's are sourced from the Desire HD. The Desire HD is not designed the exact same as the Inspire 4G(and the Telus DHD). Therefore, having the proper Inspire based settings DO make a difference. Inspire sourced ROM's are not as prone to this as their source material is already designed to take advantage of this with the US based bands and other unique ATT settings(like some of the build.prop differences). This is why some euro ROM's have issues attaining the speeds that the Inspire ROM's do within MINUTES of each other on the same tower. I tested this for over a week on three Inspires before publishing ANYTHING. I have pages of speed tests that show the difference the software settings can and do make.

The Radio/RIL perspective

Our Inspires have a different radio than the Desire HD. This is not in dispute, our radios are programmed for 850/1900MHz connections, DHD's are not. Using a radio firmware for a DHD can cause issues, for instance, GPS. GPS does not seem to work right on DHD based radios on the Inspire. It may work sometimes, but it is more prone to no connection than Inspire based radios. Using the proper RIL in conjunction with the radio also makes a very large difference as it is how the OS interfaces with the modem. If there is a call made from the software that the RIL is unable to pass on to the modem, or vice versa, it will cause issues. Having the correct RIL for your modem is imperative for getting the best signal and speeds for your phone.

The APN connection

APN's make a very big difference. If you have an improperly set up APN you will not authenticate on the data network. Our Inspires have different APN's than any previous AT&T phone. This is why plugging in say a Captivate SIM without changing plans doesn't give you data access without changing APN's. The reason is the HSPA+ data plans from AT&T. Using the proper APN verifies you as being able to access the HSPA+ network over the standard HSPA network. Now granted, this doesn't always mean that your speeds will be terrible as HSPA is up to 14.4Mbit. If our phones are truly HSPA+, that means that the physical modem is actually capable of 17.6-21Mbit download speeds. However, it is up to AT&T to allocate these speeds, as those figures are the MAXIMUM per category, and AT&T isn't even close to the maximums yet. I will be the first to say there is no way that we should ever set HSDPA in build.prop over category 14, as we do NOT have MIMO modems.

This thread isn't about getting supermegawhooptie fast speeds, it is about maximizing your connection potential.

:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] willzzz88:
Yes yes yes I KNOW all that. I assumed all other dev's here knew too...

The APN is based on the IMEI# which when originally manufactured for the phone in AT&T's sytstem.

There's the following:

1. the authentication factor (yes HSPA versus HSPA+ based on phone hardware IMEI#, if you're getting over 7.2Mbps you're on a HSPA+ plan & gateway...).

2. the software factor (latest ROM supporting HSPA+ with the tower... in reality WITHOUT AT&T MARKETING BULL****, the latest ROM actually takes you to MAX out your HSPA 14.4 downlink and 5.76 uplink). If the HARDWARE SUPPORTS REAL HSPA+ (21.6M down...) when you can change your build.prop to that but I don't think the Atrix has a Qualcomm chipset that does with the proper code. :P

3. You will obviously ONLY get "REAL" HSPA+ (the 3GPP specs, NOT AT&T BULL**** MARKETING) 21.6/5.76 like T-Mobile if you have a HARDWARE THAT SUPPORT IT... The latest Samsung 4G release on the 15th will and so will newer phones... Oh and laptop cards with the latest firmware/software...

Try to differentiate hardware (chipset/ROM) versus software/firmware.

I haven't looked at hardware Qualcomm spec sheets but I believe the Inspire is just the result of AT&T MARKETING and is only really maxed out with HSPA (14.4/5.76) which is what you all are seeing...

The other REAL reason AT&T wants HSPA+ on their network with the voice carrier on the HSPA+ carrier (newer phones probably on the samsung 4g in the ROM) is that AT&T can DOUBLE voice capacity by 50% using the same amount of spectrum.

Before you could only support 75 simultaneous voice users per 5MHz carrier. Now with HSPA+ and more efficient algorithms you can DOUBLE that to 150 with the upgrades their maxing on the mobile network.

This can go even higher with the latest qualcomm 4g chipsets due to device IC cancellation in the uplink from the phone.

This is REALLY helpful in extremely dense concentrated markets like NYC or Los Angeles where they are starved for voice capacity in the dynamic load balancing between voice & data on UMTS/HSPA+.

Yes that means their cell site array 360 degrees on one level in Manhattan can support 600 SIMULTANEOUS VOICE CALLERS with 4 carriers that have been deployed there. It can do even more with the new cell sites they are adding...
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
I don't think he gets it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
No. Just, no. Flash CM7 and check your APN. I guarantee it is not what came on the phone from the factory image.

APN plays a role in this. That is software. This process I have listed FIXES that because the APN's are generated on SOFTWARE first boot. They are NOT pulled from the SIM or IMEI. Period.

The latest ROM does WHAT? Do you understand a "ROM" is the software Operating System? Like Windows is on a PC? Also, the Atrix? Who is talking or cares about that POS? The ROM doesn't give a damn what you are connected to, nor does it operate the way you apparently think it does. The ROM is only as good as the hardware and interfaces programmed into it.

Duh. I said that. I also said that if this is a claimed HSPA+ phone, that it would at least be a 17.6Mbit device as HSPA is up to 14.4(cat 10) It may take a firmware update to enable this, but it is not out of the realm of possibility.

Why should I when you don't? Hardware doesn't do a damn thing without proper firmware, an interface layer(aka "driver"), and software to actually use the hardware.

That very well may be, but remember, they also still claim to this very day the Captivate is not capable of HSUPA. That is as about as factual as saying Apple iOS is open source.

Ok... I wasn't talking about voice here. Nor the capability of such. Just data speeds and how they relate to the Inspire. I completely agree with this last section. It is pure fact. Of course, once VoIP over LTE hits, it will get even better.

One other thing, I would recommend calming down a bit... This is just a phone, after all. ;)

nvm problem solved... haha i feel stupid now..

Edit: Some guy in the first two pages had lines missing.. and you later stated to redownload..[so i assume i have the latest one, i downloaded this today] and im having the same lines missing.. so by doing a manual add property there shouldnt be a problem right?

It seems to be hit or. Miss, sometimes the audience chip just stays on draining battery, sometimes it doesn't. I will revise it to say if you notice battery drain, change to zero.

did something go wrong?

I cant find the [the older one]telephony.db file.. i know you give us the path to get there but im not seeing those folders.. and when i do a search all i get is the one that i extracted from the zip file.. im using RCmix6.1
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
There has only been one telephony.db file, the one in the zip file is the only one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] skyzeroone:
Thanks for al the help your giving and definitely one of the fastest responses i have seen in majority of the forums i have been to.. i figured out that i wasnt using a root explorer hence why i couldnt see certain folders. i replace the telephony from the zip file. But i think i made a mistake.. i kinda freaked out on the APN step and clicked on restore to default. N now when i see apn i only see the Media Net wap.cingular..i did at first see two apns that had locks before restoring to default, but now they are gone :( and it shows that just that one.. Thanks for the help :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I have seen that as well, redo the telephony.db step, reboot, and all will be well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
I'm wondering if there's a way to script these changes so that the (missing) strings are automatically added to the build.prop file for when we reflash ROMs.

IOW, the script would look at the build.prop file, add the necessary strings if they're missing (so as to avoid duplication of values) and save it back. It gets tedious having to constantly edit the file with propeditor at each reflash of a ROM.

Just a thought...
[HTC Inspire 4G] dallasjim:
Hi, I did everything but when I select the new locked APN I get error "connection failed due to incorrect APN setting". I am in Dallas on AT&T. Any ideas? Thanks

It is interesting that my "3g" Aria gets 2X the data speeds as my "H+" Inspire. Both have same APN's. I tested them at the same time in the same location. My Inspire isn't inspiring :(.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Are you sure your plan is correctly provisioned for hspa +?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dallasjim:
Good question. I bought it at the AT&T store but that means nothing. I'll call. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dallasjim:
After countless hours trying to speed up my phone, I found out that AT&T never changed my data plan to HSPA+. I am still getting crappy speeds but at least I have a starting point. THANK YOU!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Always glad to help! I have been progressively seeing the speed improvements throughout the Metroplex over the last few weeks, culminating in 9mbit down last night in Roanoke. In downtown Ft. Worth (I work for the County) I tend to get between 3-6, depending on time of day, so they can fluctuate. But with the combo of the properly provisioned HSPA+ plan and the correct settings, at least you know it isn't the phone causing any slowness!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Id10terrordfw.... Correct settings? Guessing ur meaning the first post huh? The added and edited line,etc? I'm still getting only 3-5mbps
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
That very well may be what the speeds are in your area. If you know someone else with an Inspire (or updated Atrix) that is stock, do a side by side comparison. That is what made me go "Whoa" and think of this process. Stock Inspire hitting 8, while CM7(and RCMix 5.9.6) were hitting no more than 5.

It can and does vary greatly, though. I still occasionally see speed tests as low as 500k. That is of course lunchtime in downtown Fort Worth when everyone is Farmvilling it up on their damn iPhones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] knuckleheadAj3:
Pfft....3-5...??? I'm only getting 3 Max where I am...and continuously keep bouncing back and forth between 3G and HSD/UPA.

Thinking about switching over to the latest stable CM7 (which can actually handle the latest RIL for the AT&T radio update...) from MIUI to see if that'll boost speeds...

Does the old telephony work with the latest CM7 (2.3.3 based, not 2.3.4) or do I have to wait for the latest one you're working hard on??

Hi,

I bought myself a Sony Ericsson MW-600 bluetooth stereo headset and it arrived today. I read that people had problems getting the track id display to come up on Android phones, but the media buttons worked.

I read that it worked fine on Gingerbread 2.3. I connected it to my phone and the media buttons work fine but the track display doesn't display. I have tried stock player, Songbird and MIUI Music players.

How can I verify the AVRCP protocol version in use on this ROM and does anyone know how to get 1.3 / 1.4 to work?

Darky Rom 10RC5.3, Darkcore 2.1, Lagfix On.

Thanks,

Pretty sure the track display only works on SE phones. The protocol is probably not open source.

My all time favorite keyboard was ShapeWriter, but it was discontinued when the company was bought by Nuance, the makers of Dragon Dictate. It didn't have a voice input button, but its word prediction was unmatched by any other and newer keyboard apps out there.

Unfortunatley, it also didn't work well on the Nook as the resolution was set for smaller screen sizes.

Well, that keyboard is now back and it is incredible. The same great swiping technology and prediction, but also has a Dragon Dictate voice input button and the ability to write "grafitti" style. It is only $5 and definately worth your attention. Another feature I like is that the keyboard is displayed on the bottom and it does not bloat the input panel, so you can actually see the screen above the keyboard, this means you can see results showing up as you type in google search or market. Awesome stuff!

DO NOT BOTHER WITH SWYPE, this is the real deal!

And no, I do not work for Nuance.

FlexT9 (and SWYPE) update: Possible trouble

FlexT9 is now discontinued... actually has been for a while, now, but Nuance was very quiet about it. The FlexT9 page in the Google Play store suddenly isn't findable by search, but is still there. It's also still got a page (but it's tough to find) on the Nuance Mobility web site.

When/if someone goes to send a support message (to open a ticket) to discuss it with someone from Nuance, a message pops-up the instant you select "FlexT9" as the product about which you want to talk telling you that FlexT9 is dead, and that the new SWYPE app replaces it; and that for now, while it's in BETA, said new SWYPE app is free.

It's important to remember that even though we've all said, for a long time, that FlexT9 is better than SWYPE, that was back when they were separate companies. Nuance (the maker of FlexT9) bought SWYPE in October of 2011; and has been rumored to be combining the best of SWYPE with the best of FlexT9 and putting it all into the new made-by-Nuance SWYPE app for Android.

My review of FlexT9, though, that I just posted on its page in the Google Play Store pretty much sums-up the problem.

Thoughts, anyone?

I don't know about their laptops but they have always had excellent support and updates for their motherboards through the years. The quality of their products and support in the past is one of the big reasons I am very interested in the transformer
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
so far there have already been 2 updates adding features and fixes. though one was pulled due to it randomly bricking a small percentage of units.

And with no carrier, and stock honeycomb, there is no reason that updates shouldn't come very fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Not really stock since they've added some apps and support for microsd card, keyboard/mouse support, usb ports, and sd port.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost83:
Well, at least there is no carrier involved. That seems to be the major slow down in getting out updates to android phones.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
i would say their updates will come fairly quickly from when google releases them. the only thing would slow them down is some of their custom stuff they added to the ui and support for the keyboard
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaneaus:
Considering that their custom stuff is pretty minimal ui wise and the firmware part will get sorted out and stabilized...

It should be very easy for them to create software updates after a Google release.

Also, keep in mind they have ALREADY released 3 updates and the tablet was just released...
