[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
First of all, how did you downgrade your prl, unless you mean pri. Also, did you install on a fresh install?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
re-download the prl from whereever you got it, it may be corrupt. barring that, do an update prl then update profile through the settings menu
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfknboss:
My PRL version was updated to 60679 and i went back to 60677...my PRI is 1.77 .....ok got it all working again :D but i still have no signal strength at all..sometimes 1 bar on 6 bar icon. Idk i use to get full bars..i can barely use internet most of the time not..any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
listen, we will all just be grabbing at straws right now if we tried to help. You need to be more specific about your issue and more detailed about what you have done if you want to get any better help. Outline exactly what you did, where files and such came from what effect that had and what exactly you have already done. right now there simply is not enough info to help you.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfknboss:
I dlded kingdom revolution b1.3 and my prl was updated to 60679 and a different radio not my doing..i had no signal strength after that..so i updated to latest radio and downgraded my prl back to 60677..still very poor signal when i use to have full signal..how can i be more clear on this issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfknboss:
I am able to use my phone again and everything works...horrible signal strength still.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Probably just the area you're in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfknboss:
My area i always had full signal strength..since install of revolution i have horrible...hopefully its just the clouds. Lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
errrr be more detailed as i said. how did you downgrade your prl, where did you get the file to do so, did you update profile through the settings menu. if you do not want to take the time to type out the info needed to help you then i wont take the time to try and help you. good f'in luck

[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I've already rebooted, removed battery/sim, tried to switch network modes, etc. I can't get it to connect to 4g and I'm in a "4g very good" area. I contacted tmobile chat and they are not sure what is happening and suggest I swap for a different phone. Really? Is this a common problem?
[HTC Sensation] WorldWide60:
Maybe you can check out one of the many threads concerning data issues instead of making a new one.
[HTC Sensation] zahashingo123:
You probably got the wrong sensation. The one without the 1700 UMTS band
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Where do I find this information?
[HTC Sensation] c@rL0$:
Assuming you purchased the Sensation from T-Mobile it shoudl work as long as they placed a 4G capable SIM in your phone. Without it you won't be able to receive 4G service.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Is there a way to tell if I received a 4G capable sim? I ordered online, so I just got it in the mail today.
[HTC Sensation] j3.cole:
I went in today and Tmobile swapped out my sim card for a new one - I get the same issue to. And I was advsd they are not 4g cards - just updated cards
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Did the new sim fix the problem?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:

My issue with 4g in Texas. Seems like many others are having data outages as well and not just with the S4G.
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
The guy on chat said there are currently no 4G outages in my area.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Chat dont know sh!t. I went through the same song and dance. Call up customer care or 611 on your phone and see if you get an automated response regarding data outages.
[HTC Sensation] c@rL0$:
Where they able to replicate your issue on any of the handsets at the TMobile store? If its a coverage issue all of the phones at the store should experience the same problem. Unless it's something specifically wrong with your phone.
[HTC Sensation] dashed:
You tried switching the network to CDMA only? That should not let your phone connect to 2g
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
Well guys, I went down to a t-mobile store and guess what?

4g isn't up yet in my area. They are currently working on it.

So that's kinda messed up...I mean, the coverage chart shows 4g up and running in my area already. I drove to the city next to mine (10 miles), and sure enough, 4G pops up.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
the coverage map in green is not for 3G or 4G. its for the 2G network. try locking it on WCDMA ONLY if you don't get a signal you are outside of the 4G coverage area. I just use WiFi. what city is this?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
I know the coverage map in green is voice, the purple/pink map is for 4g. That map shows my area covered under "4g very good."
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't it go to 3G if you don't have 4G? And if you don't have 3G it goes to 2G(EDGE)?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Yes. But if your area has been updated to just hspa+ then if you leave that it'll go to edge

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] nitrogen618:
So basically, on a 4G phone you can't get 3G?

Let's say a 3G phone enters that area, it'll get 3G right?
[HTC Sensation] brian85:
From what I understand, 4g is basically 3g, so if you don't get 4g, you go to 2g.
[HTC Sensation] lessthanjoey:
3G and 4G don't co-exist in the same area except as backwards compatibility. If an area has been upgraded then you'll get a 4G signal when you have strong signal and 2G otherwise. You don't drop to 3G first as your signal weakens as if you could get 3G, you could get 4G.

Only someone with a non-4G capable phone will get 3G in that area.
[HTC Sensation] heygrl:
Actually your phone does cycle thru 3G/4G and it will be on 3G if the signal is extremely weak but instead of having the data network icon flop between the two for no reason it's best to just have it reflect 4G for the 3G/4G network all of the time. If you run a custom rom on other phones like the Vibrant with the H icon enabled you will see it flop between H(HSPA/4G) and 3G(UMTS).
[HTC Sensation] a4ol:
T-Mobile just renamed 3G to 4G. While the rest of the world call the phone the Sensation we call it Sensation 4G. Same data speeds, just T-Mobile paying mind games...

HERE:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3875&idPhone2=3922

Dataspeeds are the same!

"3G

HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps

HSDPA 14.4 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps"
[HTC Sensation] wildcard:
That didn't work... still stuck on 2G... if i force to WCDMA only, 4G works fine... so there is signal and my wifes LG g2x gets 4G just fine.
[HTC Sensation] Mystik:
We have only one "4G" network in canada, I've been following it for some time now. It's HSPA+ and only available to Bell/Telus (though Wind, the new carrier may have something fancy in the AWS channel)...

With that said, HSPA+ (4G) overlays HSPA (3G) class networks. It's an evolution of the technology. With other systems, such as ATT and Sprint, they have different 4G networks (LTE and WiMAX) which are based on services that are not 3G, therefore you can have 3G in some areas, and in limited range, 4G in LTE/WiMAX zones... not the same for HSPA.

if an area has "3G" HSPA, it's only because it's using older nodes, that don't yet support the 4G speeds. Once the HSPA+ goes up though, you get "HS" in your data connection (rather than 3G or EDGE or anything) and you end up with the fastest speed available from the node, that your phone is compatible with, and that the environment can support (eg, distance, weather, obstacles, can obstruct the signal and cause slowdowns).

This is just my understanding though.

What it sounds like is that HSPA (the 3G version) hasn't even been setup in the area... when they finally put up the HSPA towers, they'll be HSPA+ (4G), but will also support HSPA (3G) devices.
[HTC Sensation] dazzlet:
So what is the fastest data speed icons then.

does it go from fastest to slowest

4g 3g h

?
[HTC Sensation] twilit:
I was having slow data and really poor reception. I called TMobile and they reset something then had me turn my phone on and off and since then both have been much better. Was getting 1-2 mb down speeds, now i'm getting 4-5.
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Press *#*#4636#*#* and choose phone information and then choose WCDMA only
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
You should know T-Mobile's 4G is actually HSPA+.It isn't the real 4G.And sometimes the phone shows 4G,but I checked the network information it shows it is UMTS(it is 3G WCDMA).So on T-Mobile Sensation it won't show 3G if you are using T-Mobile's SIM Card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] afterthefuture:
Ebay app. updated..... seems good.

Any comments folks. Looks great to me, selling is good.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
So, after taking this apart and removing the thermal pad on the t20... applying arctic silver gel/paste, i think temps are averaging higher.. so yeah, hold off on doing that one..

Edit - it couldve been the loops of 1.646ghz tests i was doing
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
So... you dismantled your TF and applied a CPU thermal paste in there? Wow, you must be really gunning for higher clocks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nickSolo:
maybe the gap between the two surfaces aren't tight enough for thermal paste to be effective
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
And not enough heatsink area to dissipate the heat.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
I'm thinking this.. I'll probably wedge in an aluminum shim.. cut from 'sheet metal'.. I think thats .020"..

Heat is being dissipated more so from the screen (thats bad, as the front of the screen is the underside of the chip).. It means that the 'heatsink', which is a large metal piece, is not getting most of the heat. I'm not worried about the heat tho.. as I have provisions to downclock at ~43-44.. which is ultra conservative.. If only the back of this thing weren't plastic... it'd be a killer overclocker.. :)

I'll post pics..

btw.. this thing came pre-fingerprinted. heh
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Freelancerx:
that looks like a lot of thermal paste for such a tiny chip
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
thank you. Thats very nice of you to say to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] levenite:
It is too much. The paste is intended to only fill in the what does not contact the sink not to insulate the sink from the chip. The more surface area of the chip that contacts the sink, the better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
Pardon?

Right now there probably isn't that much contact between the two.. as the hamburger patty of a thermal pad is gone.. so that needs to be shimmed. I swear the 'heatsink' is steel.. it just doesn't have that aluminum frailty to it.. I have some 2000 grit sandpaper if things go far enough to warrant a blingy looking 'lapping' of the heatsink. heh..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
That seems like overkill, but good luck anyway, I am interested to see how it turns out!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Blades:
My main reason for opening it up was to clear the crapload of dust bunnies hanging out in my camera lens. Then I went poking around, seeng what I could screw up. :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] levenite:
Think about the two surfaces at the microscopic level. The surfaces are rough. What we want is the maximum contact area between the two surfaces. The paste is used to fill in what does not contact. So it is better to have surface to surface contact than a thin layer of paste between the surfaces. That is one reason why there is usually a good deal of pressure applied between the surfaces.

BTW, be careful some heatsink paste is conductive!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattcoz:
Yeah, that's way too much.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SoCalTiger:
Um yeah, that is WAY too much paste. It should be common knowledge that too much paste will actually INCREASE the temperature. Quite possibly your problem right there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pacifik:
A 120mm fan will cool that down. ;)

I'm no expert on heat sink shims, but wouldn't a iron or steel shim be better as they dissipate heat better?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Of course that much thermal paste wont lower temps? Do you even know what you're doing?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jjsoviet:
The best way to apply thermal paste is to place a rice-sized dot into the surface, and let the pressure between the heatsink and the CPU naturally spread out the paste. Putting too much will make the temps go higher, not lower.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
this

a pea sized/rice sized is enough even for a modern CPU let alone a tiny SoC which is about the size of a modern NB/SB of a computer
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SwiftLegend:
Mind sharing how you opened this up? There's some shiz on my camera lens too, and would like to clean it.

I kinda dropped mine (no scratches, cracks, damage, etc.) and the back panel popped up a little all around it, i managed to just push it down on all sides though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droid_does:
theres a sticky with a link to a teardown from an XDA remember IIRC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tackyjan:
why don't you try liquid cooling next :)

i am sure you could rig an old fishtank pump and a few plastic hoses. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mgalyan:
I am a techie and a culinary student, and I can tell you that aluminum is the worst metal used in electronics. Its heat conductivity blows. Shim it with copper if you can get the thinness you need.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Underwater Mike:
I think I have a spare of one of these if you want me to send it. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Odinbear:
This would be better?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Image... H70 CWCH70 120mm High Performance CPU Cooler

This one would do the trick and could be kept in a bag, lol..

Seriously though, Copper is the way to go as in an earlier post.

And thats definatly far too much paste, could short out your chip. :(

Hope that the overclocking goes well and looking forward to more results.. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] el_brio:
Although this suggestion is miles ahead of what the OP did... I disagree with his technique. The middle dot method can work well, but it has its drawbacks.

Personally, I cut a credit card lengthwise into a width about equal to the chip. Spread the compound as thin and evenly as possible (with the flat edge... not the edge you cut). About the thickness of a sheet of paper is what you are going for. No bubbles or ripples on the surface. Do the same to the heatsink then push the two together (not straight together or you can get bubbles) and work it back and forth a couple of times (use gentle 1/4 turns... less is more here). The goal is to use as little of the stuff as is necessary to fill in the microscopic surface imperfections so that you have 100% contact with the HS.

Here is a good (but dated) discussion on the topic.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/234174-29-application-thermal-paste-correct-technique

I know that some of the thermal compound makers recommend using the "dot" method for some chips, but I think this is likely due to the fact that people tend to use waaaaay to much paste otherwise and screw things up. Anyway, with most desktop processors, you can just redo it if you aren't getting the results you want. This wasn't always the case. I flipped the power on a 1GHZ T-Bird one time without the HS attached. Instant-thermal death.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] frosty5689:
Well, the pea size works pretty well for HSF with enough pressure, stripes will work too. How to apply it is really personal preference, whatever gives you the best result go for it. Anyways, that heatsink (if you can even call it that), is horrible. Like mentioned before, get a copper shim best conduction out of all the common metals. Also, arctic silver have a cure time, since it is designed for CPUs used on PCs, the Tegra 2 might not produce enough heat for it to cure, so performance is not optimal. Try a tube of MX-3/4 or IC Diamond 7.

It's now in stock. You can buy it online or pick it up in store, I'm in Southern California and it's available at 6 Fry's near me.

http://www.frys.com/product/6641864

I've ordered it. Getting the Keyboard Dock shipped this week also, hopefully the combo fits great in this bag.

EDIT: This case completely BLOWS. Like others have said, it's not a tablet case, it's a netbook case.

The handles are attached from the inside, you can't have the zippers closed with the handles out.

Whenever I'm near a Fry's i'm going to return this POS.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] somewhatdamaged:
Hi all,

I bought this bag yesterday. It fits the tablet w/ keyboard nicely and is pretty good quality. The issue I have is that it doesn't comfortably fit the charger as the bag is kinda thin w/ limited extra space. I'm considering this one instead, as I have it for my full size laptop: Targus CityGear Netbook Case for up to 10.2 Inch Netbooks

All in all, good bag for the 15 buck price, but as I want the extra space for the charger and a portable external drive and mouse, probably gonna spring for the Targus.

Somewhatdamaged :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DevCake:
I didn't see one at the Fry's here in San Marcos. I've got a $10 generic netbook case that has a pocket for the power adapter.
