Sorry to tell you but if you go over the 5GB soft cap you will get throttled unless you are grandfathered from a old truly unlimited plan, if you are lucky you and I suggest never changing anything on your plan or you will forever lose your granfathered statis.

At the OP sorry you did not know about the 5GB soft cap. But it is mentioned in the T&C's plus if you go to the T-Mobilr forums by going to t-mobile.com>Support tab>Forums you can find a butt load of threads on this topic, and I mean a butt load of them.

anyone on Simple Mobile ?here ??

heard the unlimited data plan is good..but you exceed the limit...and they block you or somthing...and so False advertising....
[HD2 General] Richy99:
how can you get you get more than 7.2meg using hsdpa ? you sure that wasnt on wifi ?
[HD2 General] blhd2:
Not really sure but the most I ever got when I ran the 7mb test is:

[HD2 General] digiholic:
I expect to get throttled, but I'll never know 100% until it's tested. If they don't then yeah... I won't change anything with my plan. Was planning on staying off contract maybe anyway since my two years is almost up.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Do you know when this took effect?

I've been on tmobile for almost 2 years and wondering how old of a plan you had to have.

dude, you're getting 10megs down?

most people on WiMax don't get speeds like that, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, you can stream just fine any movie you want on 10mb down, lol. If that's throttling I am not worried at all.
[HD2 General] blhd2:
Well I just ran another 7mb data only (not Wi-Fi) test from my bedroom and got: View attachment 599576

Btw, I am running at wireless N on my home network when I watch Netflix though, ever since the over-lords texted me. I guess as long as they don't sock me with some sort of over-usage fees then I can't complain. Damned happy with the speeds I get on this GBX v12 rom on my HD2. Sad that HTC originally had a 4g+++ capable phone with the HD2 but dumbed it down so bad and saddled it with winmo 6.5. This phone could have been called the "First 4g Smartphone"....sorry Evo4g users.

[HD2 General] inuyasha1999:
Sorry to disappoint you, but mobilespeedtest.com is known for its inaccuracies, and your speed tests prove it. The HD2 is limited to 7.2Mbps and that's a hardware limitation. Also, T-Mobile has been throttling for a while now, and it has been in the T&C for a long time, but they had not been enforcing it until a few months ago.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
To be honest i am not super positive when the actual change from true unlimited data to soft capped unlimited data (am I the only one that that statement sounds wierd to?). I will see if i can find out his weekend though, so if you have not found it before then I will let you know what I find.
[HD2 General] digiholic:
Talking like that will get you an executive job at T-Mobile.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
i get 1764 and i'm right outside dc.... i would think the network here would be fast
[HD2 General] digiholic:
It probably is fast. You could be in a bad spot with towers or there are so many users that the bandwidth is killed. Run speed tests all over and at different times and you will see it change quite a bit. I can run them back to back to back sitting in the same spot and varying speeds.
[HD2 General] orangekid:
True,

I ran a speed test and got about 1.5mb down, then ran one right after and it jumped to 4mb down. It depends on a lot apparently and I would not take one speed test to mean much.
[HD2 General] blhd2:
I have been suspecting that mobilespeedtest.com wasn't accurate. Thanks for confirming and for the good info.

[HD2 General] digiholic:
You could try Open Signal or Network Test and compare results. Good for searching for towers and other goodies.

You probably went over the 5GB/month limit for high speed.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] kenf2210:
hi,is there anyway u can up the brightness level on these phones its up full at the moment but still could do with being a bit brighter :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dousan:
Afaik you have to wait for custom roms to get that up'd :)

Regards Dousan...

e: maybe its enough with a custom kernel...
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ammarcool12:
Well the screen is not that great on our phone which is why we get around 2 days battery life with average use even I would like the screen to be brighter but it will greatly reduce battery life
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Da22a:
Have you tried installing dazzle? This app has some niffty display controls for maxing out the brightness.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] FrAsErTaG:
it all comes down to the fact SE does not allow us to disable auto brightness so even if you "crank" the brightness you still have to live with auto brightness controlling the brightness while settings 1 2 3 on the power control widget appear to turn it up it is still being controlled to an extent..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NielDK:
Will probably at least take a recompile of the kernel.

An answer to this question is in the Arc section, from SE:
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NielDK:
I'm not sure how this would work, but there is a parameter

in /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/ "enable" which by default is set to "1"

Might want to test something like

echo "0" > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable

You need to be root to do this
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] waz000000:
this works :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] NielDK:
I think it will be set back on reboot, but it may work to add that line to /etc/hw_config.sh
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] waz000000:
yeah doesnt remain after reboot, will add later and see if it works.

It's not something that bothers me tbh.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] dsswoosh:
Nor me.

The auto brightness is actually pretty awesome in all fairness. I am going to leave mine on even when a fix comes out for it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czesioxda:
So I installed Windows 98 on QEMU on my PC.

On Leo in Windows 95 the 16 color mode returned me BSoD. (256 worked well).

In 98 I had standard VGA card installed, so I have chosen 2 color mode, because 16 gave the same result as 95. I weren't satisfied with monochrome.

After hours of trying I finally succeed installing GD 5446 drivers.

On my PC it worked quite well (with a little fonts and icons bug ;P). I copied it to Leo with 256 color depth set. But it gave me BSoD.

So where's the problem?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliensquale:
Just got my G Tablet... wondering what the best ROM is to install on this thing? seems like there are sooo many different options!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
Fortunately, you're right, there are tons of options...

Unfortunately, everyone will give you the same answer, "It's up to you."

I know it's a cop out, but it's really true. I suggest that you search for some videos on youtube of the different roms. Reviewers more than likely have used different ones and will give decent reviews, as well as why they stuck with the one they are on, currently.

One MAJOR decision is whether to stay with the 1.1 bootloader, ot update to the 1.2 bootloader. Robeets worked hard at getting most of the 1.1 Roms translated to the 1.2 branch. So, if you prefer TNT lite (1.1), then go for Mountain Laurel (1.2). Vegan 5.1.1 (1.1) flash brilliant corners (1.2).

When I got mine, it came with Tnt lite installed. I didn't care ofr it much, so I flashed Vegan 5.1.1. I used it for about 3 weeks, then did the update procedure and flashed Brilliant Corners, and haven't looked back. It's stable, everything but hardware acceleration works (but that doesn't work on any Rom at this point)

If you want to go with the honecomb development, then you need to be on 1.2 bootloader. Put it this way. There are 2 major "styles" of rom that you will NOT be able ot use on 1.2, they are Vegan Ginger, and CM7. There is one "style" of rom that you can NOT use on 1.1, that being Honeycomb (Bottle of Smoke)

Pretty muc all other popularly used roms can exist on one or the other in their specific arrangements.

When I did the update process, it required me to flash to the stock 4349 update, and to be perfectly honest, it really wasn't that bad. You can apply market fixes to it, to pretty much make it fully functional. It's not a bad starting point if you want ot play around, and get used to the tablet before jumping to a new rom. it will also give you a chance to figure out what you do and don't like about the stock setup, and what you'd be looking for in a custom rom.

That's the most diplomatic I can be, but once again, ultimately, it's all up to you.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caveritt:
Just got my last Thursday. Spent the entire weekend playing around.

Started at VeganGinger but I just found it to be a little unstable but I loved the speed. Also has some video issues and since this was primarily for my kids to watch movies while on the go that was not acceptable.

Went back to VeganTab 5.1.1 and loved it. Extremely stable and everything worked but I really missed GingerBread.

Finally took the plunge to CM7 nightly last night and I can't find any problems so far. Very stable and I love all the tweaks for tablets. Video works great. HD video in youtube starts off a little shaky for the first few seconds but stabilizes after a few seconds. Other movies play great in rockplayer and ASOP video player.

I like to stay a little more on the bleeding edge than leading edge with ROMs but I am just not ready for 1.2/HoneyComb yet. It looks awesome but I think they have a few more bugs to work out before the noobs like me jump on.

Hope this helps.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kidujp:
Depends on what you want to use the tablet for. I am just using mine to play around with - a new toy and a first time android user.

In 2 weeks, I have installed VEGAn-TAB Ginger and then moved on to CM7 to get netflix app working and now on the Honeycomb alpha.

Of these, I liked CM7 as it seemed to be more stable. Not a whole lot wrong with Vegan-tab ginger either. Both will run fine if you want to use it daily. The HC alpha is unstable but fun, and a work in progress.

Cheers to all the devs who work on all these ROMs. Great job

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliensquale:
sorry for the newbie question.. but what does all this mean.. Honeycomb, Gingerbread, Froyo, etc.?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
they are nicknames given to the versions of the Android Operating system. equate them to 3.1, 97, 2000, XP, Vista, or 7 for Windows.

Froyo is version 2.2

Gingerbread is version 2.3

Honeycomb is version 3.0

If you see a tablet, or phone for sale that says it has Android version 2.2, then it's using the "Froyo" version.

Honeycomb is the first, and only (so far) Android operating system specifically designed with Tablet's in mind. All others are phone based.

There is a rumor that Google is designing an Android OS that will be a hybrid phone/tablet OS, it's rumored to be version 2.4.

The ultimate goal for the G-Tablet is to get a stable hardware accelerated honeycomb rom onto it. It would be the natural fit since the G-tab is a tablet, of course.

----Edit----

you may now be asking, why don't all tablets use honeycomb, then.

The answer is, android tablets predate honeycomb. You might notice, if you flash Vegan5.1.1 for instance, that the dock on the right side contains a "phone" button. that's because the Froyo OS was designed for phones, not tablets. you can remove the icon, but it will still maintain scripts for phone function, though it can't actually be used as a phone.

This is where there is actually an advantage for iUsers. iTunes contains sections for iPods, iPhones, and iPads. You can download an app designed for an iPhone, and run it on an iPad, but it will only be seen on a small portion of the screen, but centered. You can resize it, but you'll lose some clarity in the image. However, you'll be unable to download an iPad app for your iPod, becuase it's specifically designed for the iPad.

In the Android market, there aren't any distinctions between 10" tablets, 7"tablets, or phones. you may download an app, thinking you can play it (try spiderman HD for instance) It will install, and work, but the image only takes up a 4" portion of the screen. The buttons are all out of whack, it's not centered, and you can't resize it. It's made for phones, and ONLY phones, but there's no way of knowing until you've tried it. Likewise, the reason we need to do market fixes and tweaks, is because hte market doesn't recognize the G-Tablet as a 10" tablet. So most tegra games will not show on the market. You need to trick the market into thinking that you have something different.

Getting a rom specifically designed for tablets is a step in the right direction for making the G-Tablet perform up to it's potential.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkLI88:
I went from Stock 3588 rom to Vegan 5.1.1 to CM 7.0.3. I really like CM7 it seems much more responsive I was concerned about the lack of hardware video drivers for the Ginger based ROMs but to be honest I have not had a problem and Netflix run very well on CM7 which was a big factor for me switching to CM7 from Vegan. I installed CM7 from CWM did the usual factory reset/delete user data and clear cache and it loaded fine. I am looking forward to a stable HoneyComb ROM :-)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magqccom:
I figure you are asking for our opinion and not the absolute universal truth, so my opinion is that stock derivatives are the best. Only missing the tabs for text selection. Particularly, Calkulin's version is pretty good, and the one further refined by Clemsyn with overclocking which is the most solid performer I came across.

Check in the Dev section for the links.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliensquale:
did the latest CM7 nightly build today.. works good..

I had to manually download and install GAPPS and also do the Flash Player install and the marketplace fix. but now it works..

and I didn't know that the stock video player sucked.. so I had to download MoboPlayer.. seems to work for most download videos online..

when you click a video online like say a .avi or .mpeg it loads right up in MoboPlayer now.. is there a way to make it load from the web broswer into VPlayer or something else? everything goes to MoboPlayer now... and although MoboPlayer seems to play 90% of the videos... there are some that still don't play and only seem to play in VPlayer...

Anyone have any suggestions to this question, now that we're a few months further down the road?? Hopefully some of you have gotten a chance to load many of them and settle on one that you like best. I just got a gTablet (BL1.2), and can't wait to get CWM and a good ROM on this thing! So, at the present time, which are the most stable ROMs out there? I am looking for a Honeycomb based one specifically. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury7:
HC rom is not stable right now, due to the fact that HW acceleration and etc is not supported really well. It really boils down to two choices in HC rom, flashback or Gtabcomb. Flashback is still updated, while developer of gtabcomb has abandoned the rom, thus no more update. However, as so far i know , gtabcomb is more stable than flashback.

HC will have HW acceleration and have 3.2 ported, as talented folks are still porting .36 magical kernel to gtab. It's not yet complete, maybe another month or two?

As for stable roms, go for froyo. Calkulin and Clemsyn ver 6 froyo rom is fast, (1.5Ghz overclock), but it might result to overheat, thus you might want to tweak the clockspeed (doable in setCPU).

For gingerbread, go for vegan tab 7.10. Quite stable . the only deal killer is that pandora is not working well on Vegan.

In the end, it still boils down to choice of what u want
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
I have settled with the Beast 2.2.1 rom BL 1.2. I have figured that it is the only one that can display HBO go properly. The only down fall is that the front camera doesn't work, but don't use it anyways. Trying different things with it and everything seems to work perfect with it. It is a froyo based rom, but with a little display changes it displays exactly like VeganTab 7.0. I was even able to change the bootloader to the VeganTab Gingerbread.
