Strange, t mobile took my cap of the lot but always had 1.9meg download. I wanted more but they refused lol, seems fast enough for web browseing and even downloading on my 1gb allowance. But i will change to 3 if speeds are not changed in the next 12.months of my contract end.
[Galaxy S II General] stigslim:
Well even if they take the cap off (and I can't see that happening) the coverage I get seems very poor, so I don't see that making much difference anyway.To be honest I have given up hope with T-Mobile.

Hello,

[Galaxy S II General] RXP:
Yeah I did, I found emailing them through the contact us page worked. Initially someone called up and told me to roam onto the Orange network as they now share 3G lol. So I emailed back saying this is unacceptable.

Then someone else insisted I was on the correct package, so I told them I wasn't. Eventually they reset my account and I'm now getting 1.8mbps on the speed test. Also helpful tip if you guys to to http://accelerator.t-mobile.co.uk you can turn off the annoying image compression that's automatically on by default.
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
Glad to hear you got it sorted and thanks fort the accelerator tip as well as that is very handy.

In this day and age I have no idea how t-mobile think 350kbits per second qualifies for general internet surfing!

News to me about orange and tmobile sharing 3g too.

All those getting ****ty speeds in uk do this and see the difference :D

dial *#*#9900#*#* and disable fast dormancy and see the speed difference

I am on vodafone uk and could barley get edge / g and now get H+

and the full speed of my wifi 15mb

Best of Luck :D

Tried that before and makes T-Mobile slower and not sure how that makes a difference to the strength of signal you get?

Guys does GS II do not show 3G sign on status bar? I am always getting either E or H, but no 3G. I know E is Edge and H is HSDPA, but on my previous phones I never saw H icon, but I did saw 3G+/3G icon!

[Galaxy S II General] Joey2o11:
Made progress today, not sure what the guy did but i'm now getting speeds just under 1mb. He did say they were working on the transmitter for the next 3 days which may explain the speed. I'll know next week one way or the other
[Galaxy S II General] Joey2o11:
I phoned them today and the guy was looking to get me to roam onto Orange. 'How is that gonna solve my slow 3g internet?' i asked him when you're only sharing the 2g network...cue silence. Though to be fair as you see from my previous post he did do something to increase my speed

I was wondering of anyone knows if the videos you record on qik remain private?

Seems as though the app automatically begins uploading video to qik server.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
Right that's thee purpose of using qik...otherwise you would take regular video that actually has better quality
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
To answer your question you have to check the lock icon..if it's open then the video is not private
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Yesterday, it randomly started force closing all apps repeatedly (force close loop) and often freezing until the battery was pulled. It would work fine after powering on for 30-60 minutes at a time but then start messing up again. Sometimes it messed up right away though.

Today I made a nandroid backup and then tried wiping data/factory reset and wiping cache. I get this:

I know that is not good. But what does it mean??

---

Anyway, now no matter what ROM I flash (CM7.0.0, or an old nightly 37, 41, etc), I click "Reboot system now" and the screen just goes to black forever. I have to pull the battery again.

But then it freezes at the MyTouch 4G screen (left it for 10+ minutes). It never gets past that.

Yes, I even did a nandroid backup before wiping. But even restoring that does the same thing: it restores, I click reboot, and it goes to a black screen.

But no matter what, after a battery pull, it just freezes at the MyTouch 4G screen forever.

I *can* get into the white hboot/fastboot screen via Power + Volume Down and then get into CWM Recovery from there.

It just can't *boot* into any Android rom.

Am I bricked?? Is there a way to fix this?? :confused:

Please help! :eek:

A) What could have caused this?? :confused: From my viewpoint, of course it seems totally random but from reading other people's cases, have you guys seen any common link or can think of something that could have caused this? :confused:

[Edit] And B) Also, do you think T-Mobile would warranty replace it even though it is rooted with CyanogenMod 7 (even though it cannot be seen)? It was purchased Oct 2010, and I do have insurance on it.

I have heard of people frying their motherboards by over volting the charging port so they no longer turn on before sending it in for a warranty return. I cant comment on this but if I can get mine warrantied that way I will do it. Not like the motherboard is any good now so might as well try. However! I do not suggest doing this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
I'm sure they check first thing.

technically you could if you have the .85 hBoot.

But if you have the .85 hBoot they'll know the phone was tampered with since the engineering screen is different
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Unfortunately, I'm not able to use adb even though I have it installed:

What am I missing here to get adb working?

In case I can't get that working, do any of these help to see if my emmc is bad?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
to get the phone working again? nope. To get it to an honest warrant-able state yes.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
I was able to check the eMMC chip version on my bricked phone so you should be able to also. You need to be in clockwork recovery to do it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Yes, at this point I don't care about getting this phone working. I have been paying for insurance every month since October, so getting it replaced is fine by me.

I just want to know how to get the phone in a state so that T-Mobile doesn't deny my warranty because I put CyanogenMod on it.

How do I get to back to a warrant-able state? That would be AMAZING. Any would would be MUCH appreciated! :o
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
it's pretty much impossible at this state. If you have the .85 hBoot you could flash the stock image. but you need a working rom to flash back to .86 hBoot. When you do not have.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Wait? I thought you said I could get it back to warrant-able state in your last post? Did I misunderstand what you said?

Either way, is there a way to just get rid of CWM?

If I can do that, then the *ONLY* way for them to tell I did anything would be the hboot version at the top, correct?

I would be willing to try going to multiple T-Mobile stores and hoping to find someone that didn't know about hboot versions.

So as long as I can get rid of CWM, I will be confident enough to go to multiple T-Mobile stores in order to TRY to get a replacement.

Is there a way to get rid of CWM on a bricked phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
i did say to get it to a warrant-able state you need ADB up and running. But there lies a problem when, and i mentioned, it will not get the phone working again.

you need two things 1) a stock recovery image 2) to flash the stock .86 hBoot.

If you have the engineering hBoot, .85 you can flash the stock recovery image. Just has you would flash clockwork via hBoot. but to get back to the stock .86 hBoot you need to have the phone up and running. Which you cannot do at this point. You are correct the only way they would tell if it's been tampered with is the .85.xxxxx hBoot version at the top of the screen.

If you have the .85 hBoot you could try flashing the stock recovery image to the phone and see if that will overwrite CWM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
A) So just to make absolutely sure. Even with ADB, there's 0% chance of ever getting this phone booting into Android again, correct?

B) If so, well replacement is the only opton. So from the pictures above in post #12, I have 0.85, yes?

C) So I just need to flash the stock recovery image from CWM to overwrite CWM?

D) If all three are correct, then which file do I need to flash? Is is one of the two files listed here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843289
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
a) with adb up and running you can flash the stock recovery image, but not the old school hBoot

b) i am at work and WebSense blocks alot of images.

c) yes

d) depends on if you had the pre or post OTA recovery image.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Is there a way to find out which one I should use?

Damn, too bad you can't see the images. Can you see the attachments on this post?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Yea i can see images via attachment i just cannot see Photobucket or Image Shack.

The difference is between the OTA that t-Mo pushed out shortly after the phone was released. I'd assume the later of the two is the one you need.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
Okay... you havent seemed to pay attention to any of my other posts but since im a nice guy I will post one more. You will NOT be able to flash another recovery, it WILL fail. I JUST did this yesterday. I have a phone that is doing the SAME EXACT thing yours is. You can try because it never hurts to, but dont be surprised when it fails. As your phone sits now, it will never change. You can not write anything else to it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Ah, you did not say that you flashed a new recovery, so I figured it was worth asking the other guy because maybe he knew something that might have worked.

So what are you going to do about your bricked phone? Just buy another $500 phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
My mistake, I said bootloader in a previous post when I meant recovery. I actually bought one already but a couple hours after found a deal on a Sensation so I have the MT4G I just bought up for sale. I posted a thread about returning my bricked one already and im waiting for replies. My problem is the one that bricked on me is not the one I bought from T-Mobile, it was an ebay purchase. So im not sure what im going to do with it. I have read about people purposely frying motherboards so the people at HTC that check warrantied phones can not even boot it up. They say "I plugged it in one night to charge and woke up the phone was off and would not boot."
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul22000:
Ok, so you're just buying new phone(s)? :(

Sadly, I don't have the funds for that.

So if there's any possible way at all to get this back to warrant-able state, I'm still looking for how to do that.

The less chance of them denying a warranty, that's all I'm looking for :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentsnow31802:
I am buying new ones sadly. It is expensive but I love me some phones so I dont mind it too much. I dont know of any way to get it to a warrant-able state other than frying the whole thing which I am hesitant to do. If its the last option though I suppose it cant hurt right? I mean the board is already useless... but of course try everything you can before that. Wish I could help you more, just sharing what I have researched in the past couple days since were in the same boat.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troby86:
If your just trying to get it replaced by T-Mobile, flash the PD15IMG zip, and pull the battery right when it's updating the bootloader. This will make your phone unable to power on at all.

well the restore didn't work, and every time i try to flash any sort of rom i get an 'Installation aborted' message. I still have to check if what type of eMMC my phone has. Could it possibly be clockwork?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
I'm pretty sure it's your eMMc chip that's causing that. ClockW has nothing to do with that.

I hate this phone. Stupid HTC did a ****ty job in it's quality control. We have to worry about bad or good screens, bad or good chips.... And that doesnt even cover the fact that dust gets under the screen.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
How many similar threads can this forum sustain? How many times should people post the same answers over and over again?

I guess that everyone wants it confirmed that even his own and special phone is just like other phones with the same symptoms, and it's not magically going to heal itself. Oh well...

There are 2 possible reasons for recovery unable to mount partitions:

1) Partition corruption - recoverable.

2) Failed eMMC - unrecoverable.

The way to distinguish between the 2 is to flash PD15IMG with the stock image and see if it solves the problems. If it does - it was partition corruption. If you see Fail-PU (failed partition update) - it's failed eMMC and you can burn the phone whichever way you like for repairs.

Renamed PD15IMG.zip

Put it on sdcard root

Booted into hboot via Volume Down + Power

Let it auto-install

On first boot it sat reboot-looping on the MyTouch Logo screen (not the T-Mobile splash screen but the next one) for 30 minutes.

I pulled the battery and turned it on again and it booted into stock HTC Android!!!! :D:D:D

So, for anyone else out there: hust because you're getting /cache/recovery errors does not mean the phone is bricked!

Some tips if anyone else finds themselves in the same boat:

1. Check your emmc version and hope it's "SEM04G"

2. Try flashing [ROM]Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.0 3.02.26_M_release and pray it works

After installing a new rom (BAMF 2.0-5), wiping all data (including dalvik-cache), when I do the initial boot of the phone, the Thunderbolt screen comes up and just sits on that screen.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinvanorsouw:
Hi All,

A few weeks ago I bought the Euro Xoom 3g and of course try to use the internet.

Problem in short:

The Vodafone Sim i use does not work with 3g on the Xoom. It borrowed the sim from my HTC Legend ( on which 3g works perfectly ).

More info:

APN settings i used are:

- Same on Legend (with CW7)

- Original Xoom (NL Vodafone)

- The settings received from Vodafone themselves.

Same symptoms in Rooted and unrooted Xoom

Model MZ601 Build:H.6.1-38-1

GSM network is functional ( even get text messages about missed calls )

Attached is a logcat from the radio while the xoom tries to connect, with a few things i noticed ( but do not really understand ) mentioned below:

GPRS CSS not supported / UMTS CSS not supported

[0388]< REQUEST_GET_NEIGHBORING_CELL_IDS error: com.android.internal.telephony.CommandException: REQUEST_NOT_SUPPORTED

Things i read from other forums ( like tweakers.net ) are:

Update 12jun, other provider sim i lent (kpn) worked like a charm.

- Users with other providers (KPN/T-Mobile) do not get such issues.

- Some users (and i ) call/visit Vodafone but only get the "Is the APN set up correctly" without any luck reconfiguring.

- The neighbouring cell message could relate to incorrect programming ( read in custom rom forum topics )

Can any help help me to analyze what is going wrong, if this is something fixable in the software or anything else?

Thanks in advance and for reading upto this part of the message.

Help!

Was this ever fixed? I've got a Motorola Xoom (picked it up on clearance for cheap!) and I live in Australia. Optus, Crazy Johns, Boost, Vodafone etc ALL work fine with the correct APNs and do at least detect the network, whereas Virgin (the sim I'm using) does not.

I know the sim works, as I've tried it in other devices (android AND iOS) with the same APN settings, and I know the device works (on other networks) so it's not locked...
