no problems here. updated radios/pri on the 3rd and have been getting slightly better service where i live. I also noticed that i could pick up 4g in an area where i was unable before.

i'm running decks and mikG (going back and forth)

4g seems a little more flaky here at work with the new radio :( Getting 1 bar to no bars where I used to have a fairly solid 2 bars.

Works for me have not tested 4g as ill prolly never have it on the boonies of SC 3g seems faster

My experience has been the same.
[EVO 4G General] clintre:
I have actually been a bit slower on 4G. Use to get a solid 2 bars at the house and now barely get one, sometimes. Download rate one Speedtest.net dropped down to just around 6M from 7 Mb before the update.
[EVO 4G General] J Snazzy:
I'm a radio noob...if I update my radios can I still flash back to my old backups? Can I also use CM7 as well?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
your ROM and your Radios are two different things. you can use any ROM you want and your radios won't change, unless there's a ROM that flashes new Radios, too.

Anyhow, I flashed mine here at work and haven't had a chance to do much, but I am getting a full signal for a change, which is rare inside this building.
[EVO 4G General] Alitheia:
All is well for me. I am on CM7, so I updated the radio, flashed a Sense ROM (Sprint Lovers) updated Profile/PRL, and restored back to CM7.

Reception seems better, but it could be my imagination. I'll need more time to tell.
[EVO 4G General] J Snazzy:
Thanks! Going to flash to a sense rom after backing up...
[EVO 4G General] oOflyeyesOo:

From my end all is well, my Evo seems to love the new radio and pri, slightly better signal and no wakelocks whatsoever, you can see my specs in my sig... :cool:

I never get anything over 1mb on 3G on cm7 (updated & tested). I just switched to the rooted ota just to run a 3G test and hit 2mb on 3G. I'm stoked because that means my 4G might be faster but I won't get my hopes up.

I hit one of these one morning after a PRL update. I think it lasted about an hour before I was back down to 250 kb/s
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I ran 4 test within 1 hour in Houston and I pulled 2mb each time. Maybe it'll go down but I usually never hit over. 98 or 1mb. Huge leap in 3G speeds....

[EVO 4G General] AZ1412:
Well the radio did nothing good for me. CWM wouldnt flash them, so I switched to Amon Ra and that seemed to work. Flashed Sense did gps fix, updated prl and profile, reflashed CM7 and rebooted just fine.

After about an hour (had class) i noticed that my 4g wouldnt work. I would turn it on, it would stay "WiMax turning on", then immediately say "Wimax turning off". Eventually it connected when I walked home, but my speeds were awful (38 kb/s down). Also, my wifi wouldnt connect like it used to, tried using HBOgo in my room and it would force close every time.

On top of all that, I couldnt reflash into CWM from Rom Manager no matter what i tried. Ended up going through terminal and flashing an old CWM 2.5.0.7 or something like that just to get into CWM and get to my nandroid backup.

All in all, about 8 hours of work for nothing. Glad its not must of us though...
[EVO 4G General] snowboarda42:
I got an improvement from the update, wimax now works a tiny bit father inside my house!
[EVO 4G General] PhxkinMassacre:
My 4g was borked after the ota went out. (I didn't get it because I'm running decks aosp rom.) And I couldn't connect to 4g. Flashed the new radios didn't fix then flashed the 4g radio and walla after 3 reboots it finally connected. Now I get 2 bars 4g from 1 in my house and improved internet speed in 3g and 4g. Used amon to flash. Just saying all this for people complaining nothing works...

Sorry for the dumb question. I installed the new radio the other day, but then I did a Calukins format_all.zip, to start with a fresh rom. Do I need to install the new radio again? I don't think so...just not 100% on it. Thanks

No once you update radios, wimax, prls they're permanent unless you change them again. The format all only wipes data, system, cache, dalvik etc.

Since I did the radio update my download speeds went from 100-300 kbps to 700-900 kbps. Huge difference and I'm glad I updated.
[EVO 4G General] fasteddie5:
Will a Nandroid restore revert them back to previous versions? And is it necessary to wipe all before you do a restore?

Thanks in advance,

Eddie :)
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
No a nandroid won't revert any radio/wimax/prl updates they're still permanent. You can wipe if you want but I usually don't. Maybe just wipe battery stats if changing roms and just wipe dalvik cache but I don't; at least not if I'm restoring a nandroid and nvr had problems. If flashing a whole new rom then of course wipe it all......

Well, my 3G speeds have gone from 900-1200 avg to 1300-1600 avg. Going to downgrade my wimax radio though, as I always get either the "Unable to turn on" message, or just scan then disconnect.

It may have deleted your RSA keys and/or screwed up your MAC address.. I'm having that very issue right now.
[EVO 4G General] pbarrett:
From my office, I've never done a 3g speed test, but my 4g has gone up from about 1.5-2Mbps to 4.8-5Mbps :) I guess it's from the new radios, but for all I know they've been tweaking the towers or something.
[EVO 4G General] blackroseMD1:
The RSA keys were the first thing I checked, and they are ok. I can connect to 4G on CM7 still, so not really sure what the issue could be.

3g was worse from home in one try and about the same from work. 4g signal at home has fewer bars, but speed seemed about the same at home. Can't hit 4g from work and never have been able to.

So, in essence, this appears to not have done jack for me.

Nope radios stay. Unless its packed in with a rom.
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
Mine seams the same after the update nothing changed speeds I mean.
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
No one claimed this was a scientific survey, but I think for these comparisons to have any meaning, you should probably make a note of which radio you *were* using before the upgrade.

In my case, I was using the "latest-minus-one-rev" already and upgrading to the "latest" didn't seem to do anything for me. But if you were three revs behind I could see you might experience a substantial change.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Somewhat newbish question: Do I have to flash a 2.3 rom, and then back to a 2.2 rom, to flash these? Or can I just flash them with my current rom (smooth and sexy)?
[EVO 4G General] NxNW:
Some expert can correct me if necessary, but as a general rule what I've gathered is Radios are completely independent of ROM's.

Seems to have broke my GPS, had to revert back.

Dear all,

I have recently flashed CM7 Nightly Build 92 for my Desire Z and there is a strange font issue with my apps' icon labels in application drawer as attached (sorry can't post link)

The sentence ends like th....[][][][]

It happens for SMS preview in the notification bar as well.

More information:

I am using ADW Launcher EX and Minimalist Theme (Both Minimalist Theme Chooser and ADW Theme).

I have used some Minimalist MetaMorph files.

I have flashed Ubuntu font as attached. (Did this before when I was using earlier CM7 Build but no such issue)

Would really appreciate any fix on this as this is kind of annoying and unpleasant to see.

Thank you very much!

P.S. I am aware there is a similar thread in Desire Forum but yet there is no fix provided.

No one has similar problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] toskies:
I have had a similar problem when I used the Ubuntu font. Figure it's one of two things:

1.) The font doesn't have the characters that Android is asking it to display

2.) The ROM is using a weird character set.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] travisyeung:
Thank you for your reply, toskies.

I have flashed the same ubuntu font.zip when I was using earlier CM 7.0.0 (OS 2.3.3) and it was fine until I flashed Nightly Build 92 (OS 2.3.4)

So I wonder if there is any Ubuntu font for 2.3.4 that would fix the problem?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] charliehustl415:
i have that problem i think it's because the font size is to big, when i flash a smaller font it doesn't happen
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] toskies:
I'm currently on 7.0.3 stable and when I switch to the Ubuntu font, this happens. However, my normal font is Cabin and it displays correctly.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] pairofdocs:
I ran into a similar problem with a version of Helvetica on CM 7.0.3. The problem in my case was with the font file. It was missing the glyph for a no break space.

There's a short discussion of the problem on Stack Overflow. It should come up if you google: "zero width no-break space" android.

(Apologies for not including a link. I'm not able to link outside xda yet.)

The ubuntu font you're using may have the same problem. If so, you can fix it with FontForge. It's just a matter of copy and pasting the zero width no-break space glyph from a font that includes it (e.g., DroidSans) into the ubuntu font you're using. It's a bit tedious, but not too difficult.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] frenccw:
I tried using Fontcreator to do this but i could not figure out how to search for the "zero width no-break space". I tried to install Fontforge but i have no idea how to get it to work. Could you post some instructions?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Ditamae:
I am using the program FontForge and I have located the character U-FEFF in DroidSans (ZERO WIDTH NO BREAK-SPACE) and copied it, but my question is: where, when I open up my selected custom font with FontForge, do I paste this character? Does is need to be in a specific place? Unfortunately, the version I have of FontForge is partially in Japanese, which only adds to my confusion. :confused:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Guys, Im new to this forum with N number of Qns :-) , because Im just a beginner of the smart phone users. I have got a new SE Xperia x10 and was very excited to capture the pictures using 8.1M camera.. But unfortunately the quality of the pictures that I have taken so far made me disappoint, still the HD video recording looks good. My question here is when the Video quality is good, how can the image quality be poor that we use the same camera for both the purpose. Also, is there any fix available to improve the camera quality, because i strongly believe that its not a hardware issue.

Thanks in advance

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I really think you need to learn more about photography. Mp dont mean anything when it comes to camera quality. I take outstanding pictures with this phone...and if you would like a link to another forum on pictures taken with this camera i can show you....it will blow your mind. I already explained how to get the best out of your camera in another thread. Did you turn off image stabiliser?

Do you expect dslr quality from a smartphone? Cuz it wont happen.

I would strongly suggest practicing with your camera like flo said.

Im not trying to be rude, im really not. But this is one of the best camera phones out there believe it or not.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manussnair:

Self-timer : off

Metering :Spot

Geo Tagging : off

Shutter Sound : sound1

If you share the settings of yours , I may also be able to take awesome pictures as you have been taking ;-)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
Ok, here are my settings:

Capturing Mode: Normal

Resolution: 6mp Wide (16:9) I use that more that 8mp because I like the widescreen pictures...and remember lower mp doesn't mean less quality!

Scenes: Normal

Focus Mode: Infinity...or macro for close up shots

photo light: always off

self timer: off

metering: Center weighted or average...spot metering is used for when your taking a picture and the light from the background is darkening your subject. Its not what you wanna use all the time...only for those situations when needed. average metering also known as matrix would be the most accurate.

White Balance: depends...if its cloudy outside ill use cloudy, if its bright and sunny ill use daylight or just auto. Most of the time I stick with auto. But playing with it properly gets nice results

image stabilser: always always off!

smile level: Normal

the +/- is the EV control I was talking about. yes it goes from -2 to +2.

And here is how I always always use it.

if its bright and sunny outside, or you just have alot of light, I will usually lower it to -1 or -0.7

Inside pictures, or low light situations I lower it to about -0.3 maybe -0.7. What that does if darkens the photo but eliminates low light noise.

Try that for a while and see what kind of pics you get. Also, keep a steady hand. When I take pictures with my phone I wrap both hands around the phone and hold it firmly to reduce any hand shake that might happen. I just find that works best for me.
