[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusTripleOG1:
I as well have the same data cap issue with my carrier and would like to minimize my data usage. I'd prefer to have the reverse USB tethering option since open WIFI networks can leave your data exposed. I particularly don't care for HTC sense and can't seem to depart from my rooted cyanogenmod 7 ROM at this time.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdamodded:
Tethering not working anymore due to Sense not there

Hi all

Has anyone solved this?

I have the same problem.

I have just flashed the CM7.2 !

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
hello

how i know if my sensation is 4g ?

i bought a sensation on ebay saing is 4g, but i dont see it any where on the phone.

thanks
[HTC Sensation] splayer7:
All tmo branded sensations are 4g.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
whats tmo ?

mine is unbranded
[HTC Sensation] Elvis_Freshly:
Tmo is T-Mobile USA

Yours is NOT a 4G because it did not come from T-Mobile is what he was telling you. Same speeds though..Just different marketing used in the name.

So to answer your question, No you do not have a 4G.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
wow no 4g, so thats why its unbranded no biggy if you dont have a 4g data plan
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
If he has a unbranded one its the same as T-Mobile's 4g one. They both have the same 3g/4g bands. T-Mobile's "4G" is just hspa+ I have an unbranded one and it works exactly the same as T-Mobile's except I don't have the Tmobile bloat. So there is no difference between his and the T-Mobile one. I think most of the international versions of the Sensation all have the tmo us bands. I think they might have released one so far that doesn't have the same bands.
[HTC Sensation] GabrielSousa:
Thanks !!!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] EmceeGeek:
tmobile version is the only version that is 4g. if its unbranded it will not be 4g, only 3g which all carriers carry.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Sorry to say but you are wrong. I have an unbranded asian sensation and it has the SAME exact 3g/4g bands as the TMO USA version. And T-mobiles version of "4G" really isnt 4G at all. It's HSPA+ which is not true 4G. There is no difference between the 2. In fact it seems that all Sensations released world wide so far have the same bands as TMO. You can confirm this by going to any country's HTC site and looking at the specs of the Sensation

Look at my box from my unbranded sensation under network it says

"Network: HSPA/WCDMA (900/AWS(this is TMOs 3g/4g Band)/2100)

GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900)

And it wouldnt work on any other US carrier's 3G network unless they use the same bands as TMO which there arent any except the carriers like simple who use tmo's network. So if you try to take your sensation and use it on ATT you will only get 2G speeds because tmo's 3g/4g network is different bands than other carrier's 3g/4g in the us
[HTC Sensation] adamo86:
Ok I bought mine from uk, is it 4g.its locked to tmobile as well.I noticed usa version says tmobile on the front of the handset next to htc logo.however uk tmobile version don't say tmobile anywere except when u turn it on.
[HTC Incredible S] chris_barsoum:
I'm using an unlocked HTC Incredible S from Virgin on the TELUS network.

I just wanted to confirm some things. Texts have been delayed coming to my phone anywhere from 15mins - 2hrs. I called the service rep and he said it takes up to two hours for a messaged to be delivered when coming from a different provider other than Telus, but it shouldn't happen all the time.....i didn't bother speaking to him any longer cause it didn't really make too much sense as i was receiving texts immediately before i was having this issue.

i just wanted to know if anyone else has the same issue with using the unlocked IncS on TELUS.

Also, if you're not what radio did you flash? Lastly, can you flash a radio from the TELUS Desire HD forum?

Thanks for reading
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Many people seem to have the same problem.

Seems like a gingerbread issue. I've tried telco ruu specific to my carrier which helped abit but it still happens.

It's so annoying i wish someone would fix it already.
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
I had this issue after upgrading to Gingerbread, and also several people had said they'd tried to ring me but couldn't get through. My phone never displayed any missed calls.

I was on "3805.04.03.22", I upgraded to "3805.04.03.27" the other day and it seems to have been fine since.

[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Aren't radios specific to regions in the world?

Where abouts are you?
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
UK. I don't believe the radio's are specific to a certain part of the world.

Looking at the radio thread, the .22 radio only seems to have been used in one update, whereas the .27 one seems to have been used in lots, which would seem to suggest it's maybe a more stable version to me.

Try it and see, it certainly seems to have been fine for the last couple of days for me.
[HTC Incredible S] neo-X:
Might have to try that one next!

Genuine DHD battery for £4.10 on ebay. Just bought one myself to use when my battery goes dead when I'm out. Thought I'd share. There's only 4 left.

Will post my feedback here when I receive it

how can you be sure that is not an imitation?

edit:

price has gone up a quid .
[Desire HD Accessories] CuBz90:
They're 2nd hand but for £4.10 I wasn't bothered about the risk. I don't understand why it has been increased by a quid because they didn't look like they were selling
[Desire HD Accessories] AdamRav:
Not a bad price but i reckon the batteries a immitation.

(from the website) Seller refurbished (?)
[Desire HD Accessories] CuBz90:
Well a refurbished battery is a battery that was dead, but been dissasembled, and the individual cells inside replaced, then recalibrates it.... as far as I've heard.

some refurbished batteries don't hold charge as long, but that's no bother to me as I've only bought it to use when I'm out and my battery goes dead, once I get back home I will charge it and replace it with my original one.
[Desire HD Accessories] CuBz90:
Received the battery today, it works fine, but looks slightly different on one side of the battery, will upload some comparison images later on
[Desire HD Accessories] ivanothai2:
I bought a 2430mah battery but the duration is equal to the original.
[Desire HD Accessories] H-Streety:
Ok I have bought one from that link. It was £5.10 now so I guess it will go up £1 every time item ends so I secured one.
[Desire HD Accessories] CuBz90:
I have been using this battery a lot over the past two weeks now and had no problems with it. Temperature staying at a normal rate, charge holding just as long as the battery that came with my phone, no signs of leaking, etc. Very good so far.
[Desire HD Accessories] CuBz90:
I still have that battery now and had no problems with it at all.
[Desire HD Accessories] Totyasrac:
So could we see the pictures please (can't see them)?

Otherwise cheap batteries may result in some harmful stories (such as overheated/blown when charged) since the (overcharge and polarity) protection are not too well implemented (if implemented at all) and the cells might be some cheap ones... Afaik.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doin-it:
Ok have had my vibrant for a while now & spend most of my time in that forum. I just pick up a TMOBILE galaxy tab 7" last night. I got it rooted & unlocked no prob. I've been checking the development section of this forum for roms & there just doesn't seem to be too many of them. Am I missing something or is it just not deved alot. Thnx
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codewisp:
There aren't a lot of developers for the Tab compared to phones like say, the SGS. However, the ROMs available for the Tab are, I would (and a lot of others would probably too) say, already enough and do the job well done. Way better than stock.

I had this happen to me twice. It was kernel related for me. Unfortunately the only thing I could do was format it. I lost everything on it. That's why its good to do a backup on your PC every once in a while. Try taking it out a couple of times though. Maybe you will get lucky.

Yeah I got lucky I had debugging mode on so I turn it off and reset the phone and it works :) thanks for the tip tho
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
So I've done some searching and reading here lately, and I have just a few questions before I finally make this leap. I'm ecstatic that the BL is finally unlocked. This is great!

First, I do some traveling and I love being able to plug a device in to a hotel TV and get decent video quality. Is the multimedia dock the only way to allow this? Specifically, I'm looking at streaming Netflix or Hulu. I usually don't travel with DVDs on my storage card, but I suppose I can if that's the only option here.

Second, how does anyone with the LapDock like it? I personally see myself using this quite a bit, as it would make life easier at work with a larger interface and full keyboard. Do you find it too cumbersome to travel with? Ideal when you'll be in one place for longer periods of time?

How's the video chat capability? With some travel, I like to be able to call my son when on the road. Does the front cam give decent quality?

Is there any video chat capability with the lapdock? I don't see a cam on the front of it, so I'm curious if the USB ports are usable with a webcam. This would also be ideal for the quick video conferences for work.

I've been waiting and waiting for something better to come along. However, a refurbed Atrix for $50, and a refurbed lapdock for $175 is pretty tough to pass up. Both for $225...or brand new for $300 after rebate.

Thanks for any help and insight.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerokimg:
There´s a hdmi mirroring mod and i think it will be includen in the custom roms coming soon so you dont need a dock

I like it very much and with the ability to use full ubuntu its great,having a little pc everywhere you go and just plug it in to a tv is really great

It´s ok, not comparable to the back camera but enough for video chat

AFAIK ther´s no cam in the dock but with the hdmi mirroring you can video chat on a tv, i dont know if you can plug in a webcam but with full ubuntu it should be possible

My advice: BUY IT
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyro254750:
i dont think hdmi mirroring or webtop via hdmi is working YET in 2.3.4, but in 1.8.3 you are golden on both. with full ubuntu, there is no reason you couldnt use a webcam with the lapdock that i can think of, its essentially a computer, so as long as linux drivers are available for whichever webcam you choose to use, it should work.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
Awesome! Thanks guys. Now to pull the trigger and get this thing ordered.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
Just want to give my input on the lapdock. Its incredibly thin. and its a nice size. I picked up a refurbished unit from At&t for about 175.

Charges your phone too. I slapped debian on it, and it runs really nice!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
Great to hear! I've been thinking about putting the full distro on there as well. I think this is a great concept and a fantastic start, even if there are some bugs/issues/features to address. I think this basic function and form will be around for a while, or at least I hope so.

On the dock, I'm assuming you've addressed the APN issue to take a grandfathered unlimited plan? That's my biggest concern: keeping unlimited data and being able to use webtop. I've read the dev forum, and it seems no one is having any issues with this, which is great.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
I have unlimited. You just need to apply the tethering hack found in the dev forum, and you'll be able to keep your unlimited data!

By the way, if you're scared of receiving a bad refurbished dock, don't be. My dock looks and acts brand new
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
I've had pretty good luck with the refurbs before. Mine have always been brand new, but I've bought refurbs for others, and they've been flawless. I was a bit worried with the Atrix, but when I talked to my sales guy the other day he was telling me about 80% of the docks he sells are returned within 30 days. That gave me the idea to look at refurbs, and 175 isn't bad!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinful Animosity:
You'll have to get it online for the discount I believe. Free shipping too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoberGuy:
Yeah, that's usually how the refurbs work. I was just saying I got the idea from the salesman who said he's seen a lot returned. Now to just make sure they don't change my data plan ;) That's always easier in the store!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waterloomotu:
Hey everyone, I have a Bell Motorola Atrix running Bell's stock 2.2.2 firmware.

I have downloaded only 3 third party applications since getting my phone and now when prompted to update any of the apps am prompted with a 16app download que (wherein app names are repeated... as far as the notification tells me). As well as the que, the apps which are being updated pause and cannot be continued.

I have tried clearing market data, removing the sd card, downloading over wifi etc. but have not been able to get around this glitch.

Any ideas what I should do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Does anyone know the dangers of running the inspire OC'd on a regular basis up in the 1500000 range?

:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Cyanidex00:
I've personally never have run into any issues, besides maybe shorter battery life.

I keep a profile in SetCPU for the temp if it gets over a certain temp. Don't have my phone with me so I couldn't tell you. But it seems fine overall.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
That is one of my concerns. With the DAEMON setup on TB Fusion and some other newer roms there is no provision for a temp profile. Simply 6 files to change the settings in as far as I know.

Not sure and I have not read about possible cpu damage running it at say 1.5 or 1.7 for long perios of time. Even though it will still throttle back so to say by means of the chosen governor.

A question for someone with more experience than I!

:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
If you are worried about that, the DAEMON setup gets disabled if you run setcpu or something else like that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
Understood, I do want the increased performance tough.

I mostly want to know if there is any data showing that OC will do permanant damage to the device if used in that manner for extended period of time. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mshen11:
i dont know about overclocking phones but i assume the answer would be similiar to overclocking computers...

the answer is it does shorten the lifespan of the chip, but we are talking about minor differences over time - for example: instead of your chip lasting for 25 years it may last for 20. HOWEVER are you really going to be using your phone for that long?

So the short answer is no. This is assuming you are overclocked to a stable setting. If it is unstable then the setting is way too high/hot - you wouldnt be able to use it long enough to damage it (assuming you dont keep trying)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lee_:
I ran my Inspire at 1.5x ghz for a couple of days, but I got random complete lock ups (had to pull the battery) and fc's. Slowed it back to 1.26 ghz and the issues went away.

Also, the temp never got very high, so it was not an overheating issue IMO.
[myTouch 4G General] astang99:
Ive got an mytouch 4g will not connect to any network, the person I got it from had it rooted to 2.3.3 but did not install the new radio, I installed the GB radio but it still wont connect, any ideas???
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Bad SIM card.
[myTouch 4G General] astang99:
no, tried 3 different sim cards, all the same response, 2 different mytouch 4G's with the same problem, only says limited service
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
I had a very odd issue similar to this after trying some different roms and then using CWM to restore my RG rom...

In short, I was only able to get service via wifi calling and while in my 'home' area. As soon as i left my home, I would loose all service while others maintained service just fine. If i didn't know any better, it would seem that my phone was locked to a specific tower.

It took a factory reset on the rom before I could get any service back while outside of my home market.
[myTouch 4G General] astang99:
that almost sounds like the same issue, I can get wifi with no problem, just will not let me get service any other way, when I try to select tmobile from network selection it says your sim card will not let you get service
[myTouch 4G General] thederekjay:
shot in the dark, but... did you check your apn settings???
[myTouch 4G General] astang99:
how do I check apn settings?
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
I would grab a fresh rom, factory reset the device, flash the rom and reflash the radio. At this point, if you don't do so regularly, MD5 check what you download to ensure its as it should be.

If we go with the 'locked to a tower' assumption, when this happened to me, it appeared 'locked' to the tower it first connected to upon reboot. If you are not in that area now, it prob wouldn't connect.

Also, i have had nothing but problems when I attempted to apply the APN settings listed in forum posts. Just default them, see if it helps..

Settings> Wireless & Network> Mobile Networks> APN Settings > menu button, reset to default. But i think this only affects mms, internet and not the connection to the mobile network itself.

**edit**

I also received an error when attempting to manually connect or search to a mobile network.
[myTouch 4G General] astang99:
factory reset, from cwm?
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
Yes. Once completed, i went ahead and reflashed the rom while still in CWM.
[myTouch 4G General] astang99:
any other ideas if this doesnt work?
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
lol, brick it and call tmobile.. "its stuck in a bootloop"
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
another thought is to call tmobile and ask them essentially if they can reset your device in the towers. I worked for them (voicestream) like 12 years ago, the lingo has most likely changed but there maybe something in the system that is causing the problem..

I was able to see the problem go away once i factory reset, so I didn't bother. Just don't mention anything that could be noted as 'warranty voided'..

Typically, when I call, i give them just enough information to get them to do exactly what I want. They shouldn't care that you run a custom rom and they don't need to know.. just the fact that you cannot connect to the network should be information enough.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
Sorry about the copy and paste but this seemed to be the one exception to the case, I would take a little time to look threw some of the rom settings. If this doesn't work send the phone back, it seems to me that's the last thing you want to do but if this doesn't work then you may have no choice but to and why waste more time.
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
i doubt this issue has anything to do with the apn settings as those only affect T-Mobile data, MMS and SMS. Even if they were completely wrong, the phone would still make a connection to the network for voice services.
[myTouch 4G General] inst1029:
When I got my mt4g with new simcard, I have to call tmo to reigster it.

Or perhaps the phone is simcard locked.
[myTouch 4G General] Orical:
That's true, I had to do the same, I had a Blackberry prior to the MT4G and had to call and give them my IMEI and other info in order for them to activate my service, I got mine out right not through T-Mobile. I had to agree to the terms over the phone with CSR before I could do anything other than make calls.

Still I would think if he got the phone through T-Mobile and had the SIM sent with it as security goes you would still have to call in to verify you got the phone and call in the IMEI to be activated for that account.
[myTouch 4G General] nicholasb:
See, this is the difference. You were able to connect to tmobiles network. OP is unable to get that far. There is no service, and even manually attempting to select a network resulted in an error.
[myTouch 4G General] urmothersluvr:
The phone could be imei blockd. T-Mobile will do that if its lost or stolen. Or if the person who got it said he never got the package and they sent a new one. I kno this cuz my brother ripped of T-Mobile by sayin he didn't get a replacement and they blocked the one he said he didn't get. Try unlocking it and using a att sim

I was up all night slaving away at this but, WE HAVE AN ANDROID PATCHED KERNEL!!! its 2.6.21.hh20 with android patches. This means the drivers should be easier to get worked out.

And Android almost boots, I suspect its the generic "goldfish" file system or some other trivial thing stopping it from booting all the way.

After mounting root and running /init, It shows the message "A N D R O I D_" then freezes well not really freezes the cursor continues to blink. but still almost there...
