[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrippe77:
I've been playing around with the 7.28 and 9.01 radios. My dBms are higher with 9.01 but the dowloads on speedtest are generally better on 7.28. The upload is usually slightly better on 9.01. I want good signal strength and good 3G. I am understanding it correctly that dBm is signal strength and speedtest shows your 3g?

Also, I'm on PRL 52999. I live in Alabama and used to be on Alltel. I'm on a Verizon plan now. Would changing to a hybrid prl inprove my signal strength? I've got great signal in Montgomery but get lower test results and dbms at my house in the suburbs and at my parent's lake house. I used to get better signal strength but it's gone down recently. Maybe there are tower's damaged by April's tornados.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
When it comes to dBm, a LOWER number is better. It means you have a stronger signal. That could answer why your downloads are better on 7.28 which has a lower dBm, correct?

Also, when I flashed a hybrid PRL (I'm in NY and CT), I actually had worse signal, and my 3g speeds were slower, but of course, your mileage may vary.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrippe77:
At work I average about -49 to -55 on 9.01 and -52- to -59 on 7.28. So, the dBm on 9.01 should be better. After a while of 9.01 settling in it seems the upload speeds have increased. Maybe I jsut tested too quickly.

I could always try the hybrid prl and then change it back if no increase. In Montgomery the signal is great but in the suburbs not as much. I had much better signal in the suburbs before I went to Cyanogenmod 7. I understand that it doesn't show as many signal bars. Virtuous used to show 4/4 bars. My wife's Env always seems to have more bars.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrippe77:
Can a rooted droid with cyanogenmod 7 receive prls pushed from Verizon? I know *228 doesn't work and you hve to go back to a sense ROM to update the prl that way.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Every time I've run *228 on CyanogenMod 7.03 I've gotten a response saying that my roaming capabilites were updated successfully. The only difference is see when I do this when on stock Sense is that the phone reboots itself right after, I have to manually reboot with CM7.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
I've done *228 and its worked fine on CM7, you just don't have access to the menu that lets you manually update PRLs. As for data speeds, they vary so much even in the same location with the same radio, its hard to tell if one radio is appreciably better than another in that regard. Also I've found that the speedtest.net app is super inconsistent and buggy, I'd recommend this browser based test instead: http://i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.html
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrippe77:
Verizon is going to push the latest hybrid prl. How long should it take to show up on my phone? Do I need to *228 after that? They said a hybrid prl may benefit me in my area since it was once a huge Alltel area.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWhiteBandito:
Be sure you're on a Sense 1.0 rom, and do a *228. If they said they'll push it, then I don't see why you can't try it now. Then once you do a *228 (or even a *22899 if you want to skip the menus), reboot and see if you have a new PRL.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrippe77:
So I won't get the prl update if I'm on Cyanogenmod? Will I have to flash to my backed up sense rom for a few hours and hope it pushes then?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveG12543:
No, the higher number the better. -30dBm is better than -40dBm. Since -30 is closer to 0 than -40, it is actually a higher number.

Sent from my Droid Incredible running CM7.0.3.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
all true....too bad my coverage sucks regardless what I do. tried every combo of prl and radios and still average at -92dBm. sprint users average in mid -70's. I'm close to a tower but it must be weak or damaged

Hey All,

Obviously XDA is phone-centered, but after hours of toil I finally found a way to get a wii controller to work with windows 7. This has apparently been a very obnoxious problem for many due to the standard bluetooth stack that came with windows 7 basically rejecting the wiimote.

If anyone is interested I can post it up. Like I said, it's gimmicky as hell but at least with my setup I can make it work consistently.

[HTC EVO 3D] PatG1:
I searched around and didn't find a topic about this yet, so I'll make one.

Anyone have any idea of the Evo3D will support IPv6? And if not, I'm assuming it would be possible to release a OTA software update that will allow the Wi-Fi to support IPv6. Same question for the Galaxy S2 as well...
[HTC EVO 3D] Johnabis:
I don't think it would matter. the first hop would go to one of sprints routers (or your isp over wifi), I'm sure whatever you are trying to get to would be running both ipv4 and ipv6, ipv6 can be encapsulated into a ipv4 packet via "6to4 Tunneling"
[HTC EVO 3D] ChrisDos:
EVO 4G supports IPv6. Heck, I've even gotten an IPv6 address from Sprint when running ifconfig. Linux has long supported ipv6, so it's safe to assume the 3D will also be fully IPv6 enabled.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
Precisely +1

Awesome. Thank you! +1

[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Really there's nothing to talk about until Mango and the new devices that will bring. Everything has been said already, the same arguments have exploded again and again. It's just a waiting game now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanneji:
I used to be more active in the Captivate section ... But it was because there was always the hope that something would come out that would fix the lag, GPS etc. Fortunately with my Focus, everything just works. It's kinda nice haha.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Yep. Patiently waiting for Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nakazul:
Nice to not be alone being satisfied with WP7. I am only waiting for my carrier contract to end so i can switch and let the call issuess drop. I love my Omnia 7, i really do, its the best phone i have to date (Used HD2 and was happy then). But the Edge problem with Samsung Phones in generall is a annoyence.

Still i come here to hope for some small things. I still want my flashligt 8Camera led) app like HTC without hacking.

Used to hack phones a lot before, but with WP7 it´s not that importent.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Fixed. ;)

// stupid 10 character limit. -.-
[Windows Phone 7 General] weepatc:
This thread just sums it up. Everything on WP7 just works. It's so fluid it doesn't need to be tweaked. Everyone waiting patiently for Mango ;-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] toeser:
I wholeheartedly agree WP7 does almost everything I need my smartphone to do but it will not play audio books. I have them on my phone but I cannot save my spot. It treats an audio book like a mp3. I tried treating it as a podcast but Zune then fails to see it. I am stuck using my damn Nano.

This is a big missing item for me. Combine that with the lack of vendor support and I am getting frustrated. No audible application. No HBOGo application. No LogMeIn ignition. I even boycotted audible and told them they lost a customer of over 5 years until they step up and get my my WP7 app. No luck so far...

It seems WP7 is still not considered a player and that is very frustrating because overall this phone rocks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
haha - True enough. I've got some insider connections, and am trying desperately to get into the pre-release of Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
There's an app for playing audio books that supports bookmarks. It's called Audio Bookmark if I recall correctly. There's definitely a thread about it here on XDA.

[Edit]

Found the thread about it: clicky

I won't give up hope that there'll be an update through Zune or some sort of ROM for officially developer unlocked devices. If not, heck, I'll have to wait for the official release. Either way, I'm looking forward to it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Isn't it Great!!!!

Yes, the naysayers, doom sayers "it's not my old WM6.5 whiners" and "WP7 is a fail" sayers are gone. I really miss the latter, they were comic abusers of the English language. I challenged all of them to return after Mango and apologize for wasting space here and wasting our time with their frustrated, comical rants. They are gone because the news is universally good relative to WP7. Aquisitions, alliances, features etc. have all been good and in fact, much better than any of us had dreamed. It will turn out that WP7 is an OS and UI to reckon with. I am very pleased with my Focus and was one of those WM 6.5 tweakers and flashers who initially thought I missed all of that wasted time spent waiting for a new ROM to flash. No need anymore and don't want to be there ever again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RonV42:
You may want to look at Overdrive. It's Audio books from your library. I just installed it yesterday and looking for my library card to check out my first Audio book.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toeser:
Thanks Guys.

Unfortunately Audiobookmark and Overdrive both only support mp3 formats.

Although I am glad to see Overdrive is now available - it is still not really useful until they implement WMA support. Almost all the audiobooks I checked out and are interested in are in WMA format, aaaaaaargh.

I did find a very kludgey workaround. I load the book onto my iPod. I then pull it off using iDump which gets it on my computer in a m4b format. I change the file tag genre to "Podcast" and then add it into Zune.

That finally gave me the ability to listen to my audiobooks as podcasts which allows me to use bookmarks in an audiobook checked out from Overdrive. A bit of work. Not sure if it is worth it to not use my old iPod.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Its quiet because there is literally nothing going on with WP7 right now. Nothing.

Until mango. When it gets here, there will be a burst of threads and new arguments.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weatherx:
and landscape support. and ringer volume. and update bugs. etc etc. we all know the drill. except perhaps the person below you who's so convinced no complaint==people happy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well currently there is absolutely nothing to talk about isn't it? It's still the same crippled OS with no Marketplace for most countries, no native letters and proper maps for most either, until Mango comes this fall - easily 4 months away. Plus not even one more new phone since launch. No customizations either. So what to talk about?

The user base here is pretty much limited to people who just "patiently wait" for upgrade. Those who didn't want to compromise their usage already switched to something else.

I am really curious what will be WP7 situation after Mango with unstoppable wave of Android and new iPhone. Really really curious how Nokia/WP7 will appear because honestly all other OEMs didn't REALLY meet my expectations.

So summing this up: exiting times ARE ABOUT to come, so it's hard to repeat endlessly future plans here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh what?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
One new phone then (HTC 7 Pro) the others being existing phones ported to new carriers. He's right about the rest.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
And the HTC HD7S.... I know its just a change of LCD, but still :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
He's only "right" if you agree with his opinion that the OS is currently "crippled". But then, anyone who dares to disagree with that silly opinion is somehow labeled a blind fanboy.

I guess all the use I've gotten out of my phone for the past six months has just been a figment of my fanboy imagination. I should just hide my phone in a drawer until Mango comes out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
The thing is your experience with WP7 on AT&T in the US might differ from someone else's (in my case I'm on T-Mobile UK) so you really have no right to judge the opinion of someone who doesn't have that same positive experience.

A few examples I gathered from different threads here:

- marketplace is not available in some countries

- some languages are not available

- bing maps is almost useless outside the US/UK

- notifications do no work for many people, particularly outside the US

- etc.

This has nothing to do with being a fanboy or a hater, these are just facts. I believe that you never had any issue with your phone but that's not the case for everyone here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
The fact you're using device which perfectly suits you doesn't mean it's top or the best or complete in any way. I know people who squeeze maximum functionality out of simple feature phones but that doesn't make them smartphones, does it?

The fact is WP7 ATM is totally crippled for users outside those few supported countries still. How would you name the fact you CAN'T buy ANY software for your device for a YEAR since launch? Or can't use your native letters? Or can't use Bing in any way? It's even worse than crippled.

And HTC Pro - yes that's one phone added to a lineup since launch, true. ONE. I mean nobody sensible would call revamped HTC hd7's screen a new device neither all those regional versions of the same phone.

The fact is all the interesting stuff is in the far future as now it's kinda freezed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
Pretty sure the Arrive, Trophy, 7 Pro, and HD7S were released after the initial launch of WP7. If I am mistaken, please correct me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Nice try, but nowhere did I judge anyone else. This has nothing to do with peoples' anecdotal experiences. It has to do with people making silly sweeping generalizations that have no basis in fact, and then attacking anyone who disagrees (as you and doministry just did).

That is what is wrong with this forum. You have problems with WP7. No one disputes that. But your problems do not provide an adequate sample size to be able to judge the entire ecosystem as "crippled".
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
The Arrive is the Pro, the Trophy was there at launch if I'm not mistaken (got my late, but that's just my country)... so the list is just the Pro and the HD7S.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
The Trophy was released May 26th. WP7 launched, when, in like September or November of last year?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
You thinking of the Verizon version... original HTC Trophy was launched last year. I've had mine since November/December.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rmcgraw:
Ah, I didn't even know there was another on Sprint. My mistake. Okay, so yeah there's basically been one "new" phone since launch. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Two, if you count the new screen on the HD7S :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Nice try. But that's exactly opposite. WP7 is sold in many countries, is that right? So your unique amazing experience which is exclusive to just these few places in the world doesn't give any benchmark. What you say here is actually anecdotal. Yes WP7 is a great promise of a nice ecosystem. In most cases it's still only a promise.

In the end, could you explain where is my attack?

In stating well documented facts? You must be kidding. Things which we talk about here have nothing to do with "our" individual problems. It's just about things which are not provided by MS for most markets. Is there still something you don't understand?
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
too bad mango wont fix the gradient issue, is that really acceptable?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I didn't come here to criticise the OS as crippled, read the posts again before pointing fingers. You and a couple of others said there was no issue with WP7 because you never had any, I just gave facts to show that that wasn't the case for everyone. It's not generalisation to say that WP7 has issues, it's a fact.

It's not crippled ok, but it's not perfect either. The arguments start like this, just because a few people have a smooth experience with their phone they feel they can they jump straightaway at people complaining about something, calling them Android/iOS fanboys and else.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Please cite any time where I ever wrote "WP7 has no issues". You can't, because I have never made any such absurd claim. That is really a pathetic attempt at an attack, you know.

Oh, and you did criticize the OS as crippled, when you wrote that doministry was right. He called it crippled, you said he was right. Get it?

I don't "jump straightaway at people", ever. But I am getting really tired and annoyed at people who think they can continue to use their own experience as an indictment of the entire platform. If the OS were crippled, NO ONE would be able to use it effectively. It has issues, but the extent to which those issues affect any individual will depend on a number of factors. Some people refuse to accept (or even acknowledge) that fact.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So writing an opinion is an "attack" again. How funny.

It's exactly you who uses it's own experience as an indictment of the entire platform.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Nakazul:
Now now fellow users. No need to take out our frustations on each other, just because we are waiting and starvin :-D

For myself as MS lover, i hope i dont get to high expectations up, you know like when a movie you love to see, finaly opens, it can never match your expectation.

Darn hard to not get expectations with the small part of the hole cake we seen, looks great so far.

If you kids dont stop fighting in the back, i'll turn this thread around and we'll all go home ;)

I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that most would like to express theirs but all of this back biting and in fighting is what is making this forum one of the worst on the site.

[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
I believe this is 100% incorrect and I will show with evidence exactly why.

1. I propose that the Windows forum would have always been like this (relatively quiet in comparison to other forums) if it were not for a small group of people (who will be described shortly). Windows Phone ownership is low. Ownership and forum activity have a 1:1 relationship, with exceptions.

2. The Windows forum used to be active, but too many times with the wrong kind of activity. Constant comparisons to other OSes, and bashing made the forum very talkative.

Here is my proof without calling anyone out personally. There are members that were posting 6+ times a day in this forum, who people would describe here are Windows Phone haters. One has disappeared. Vanished into thin air. I hope that nothing is wrong, but that has contributed to the decreased activity.

I would say it all started with moderation. That sticky at the top warning people about their behaviour in this forum. So the bashing went away and thus the activity. But I am not oblivious to the equation; activity will increase when ownership increases. Ownership will increase when the handsets become more popular. The handset will become more popular when the OS has more features.

Of course this thread will not help when it comes to bashing. You just reopened the can of worms! :)
