I wish there was a fix for our infuse to get better data download and upload like this fix.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584409

the above fix made a huge difference on my windows phone.

just a thought and please don't flame.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
we alread have it! infact we have better! there is not speed fix because att included there best into this phone! if you see other phones download faster it is just differences in the modem.bin that are not well understood and they are more or less lucky, if you go to a different area you might find that opposite situation with the same two phones.

that is a mod to get hspa. hspa is more or less 3.5g or 3g+ as it is known on some over sees cariers. what we have is hspa+ which is what gives us the abilities to get 4g like speeds on the 3g network. if you look at the att 4g ads the small print say"4g speed brought to you by hspa+ with enhanced backhaul" the being a "4g" phone it has it enabled.

Be ready...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
Actually, when I browse the internet, I compare the infuse and my tilt2 with the fix and my tilt2 is at times faster than my infuse. and of course there are times when my infuse is lighting fast in the same place (home)

but that fix makes a huge difference.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
are you checking the transfer rates o just going off feel? the android browser is not the best and on 2.2 feels laggy on hummingbird based phones. try opera mobile. when 2.3 becomes available you will see a world of difference.

if you confirm you are not getting transfer rate on the infuse that you get on the tilt then it may be a problem with your area. i assure you hspa+ works on the infuse and is faster than hspa. any bias towards the tilt in your area has to do withe the towers and network policies.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
try both phones on a speed test website like speakeasy.com
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I did try opera on the infuse but, I have a problem connecting. I always get, network error connection, please check your network connection settings.

on the tilt2, it always stays on H. on the infuse, it always changes to either, E, G, H+.

Do you guys know if HDPA is supported everywhere? cause it would be nice to tweak the infuse with just using H+ and H.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
what it really sounds like now is that you have poor reception, how many bars do you see?

i guess it could be other problems with the tower, the tower just might not like the infuses modem files for some unknown reason. it could be a faulty infuse or it could be a problem in your local area.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I always have 1 bar for both the tilt and the infuse.

Before I did the fix to the tilt2, oh boy, it sucked try getting a connection but after the fix, I connect every time and this was and is with 1 bar.

That's why I was saying, I wish we could get a fix, to get hdpa or h+ on the infuse all the time. I'm sure hdpa is supported everywhere.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bradbusa:
1 bar?! seriously.. come on dude

the problem doesnt have anything to do with the settings that came on your phone.. the problem is you dont have reception.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] slider2828:
I forgot maybe 2 weeks ago there was a thread about changing the packet size of the data to speed things up... I think that helped a little, but I have no idea since I usually have pretty good signal
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ltilt2:
I know the problem is that I dont have good reception at home.....this only happens at home...but what I'm saying is that my tilt2 had the same problem with reception but after I did the dataspeed fix, I didn't have that problem any more...comprende????

[Networking] johnsoto85:
Ok, so I found a bit of information about this data plan working with the Samsung Galaxy S II reaching HSPA+ speeds, however I would like to know if it is possible to get the data from this plan working on any other SMART PHONES.

A few things I am interested in is...

1. Has anyone got the data working on any other smartphone? What kind?

2. Does changing the APN settings work?

3. Do you have to initially register a basic phone?

4. Is it possible to modify the IMEI of a smart phone to represent a basic phone so that the data may work.

5. Does anyone have any good ideas to get this working?

If so we can all have Unlimited Talk, Text, and Web on a smart phone for $50.00 plus normal sales tax.

If anyone has or is capable of getting this working on any (or all) smart phones, then it would be mutually beneficial to everyone :-)
[Networking] JKDEM85:
I have the plan running on my Galaxy S II, it was kind of tough to get going, and until I turned on airplan mode and then turned it off again, was I able to connect to 3g and H+ instead of just edge. The AT&T store employees also had a hell of a time, getting it to work at first. I did pop the SIM into an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S, and it worked after I went too settings, wireless networks, and then selected GSM only. The only APN available is Cingular 410, which is the wap.cingular. I am getting full 4g service on both devices, so I'm happy.

Note the AT&T stores dont always have the $50 pre-paid sim card in the store because I believe you can only do this on "International phones" according to the guy who helped me (whatever that means, I'm sure they are wrong.) I did explain how the Galaxy S II was unlocked and that I had bought it in Europe, but they still didn't have the actual $50 dollar sim card, so instead they gave me a regular 4g sim card ($25 charge) and then used two $25 pre-paid data plan cards (actual cards like iTune gift cards.) As I said above, they had some issues getting the $50 dollar plan to work, but it eventually did using this method. If anyone is in NJ the store I used was in the Paramus Mall.

Hope this was decent first post.
[Networking] Viper89:
$50 prepaid simcards lol I would never pay that much for a prepaid sim card ever. I bought both my phones: previous Rokr E6 and the current X1i and simcards from myworldphone.com. For the E6 my $15 T-mobile simcard cost me about $15 with credit and my At@t prepaid one cost me $8.50 non active. Now for the non active simcard I had active it and then put money on it(depending on the plan I wanted) but it beats paying $50 for simcard when you can buy one for $8.50 and then switch to the $50 unlimited plan. Now looking at the rate plan options it says: " 1Monthly Unlimited Talk, Text & Web plan requires an eligible device. Smartphone users must purchase a data package to use Data on this plan. Pay per use data is not available on Smartphones." I'm not sure what exactly eligible device really means but when I first bought my phone I had the option to switch to the unlimited plan, something funny I noticed was it says smartphone cannot use pay per use data, well it's available to me :). I only use wifi for my internet because I use my laptop for browsing the internet and really only use the internet on my phone for updating Touch Weather but if I need to I can use the pay per use data which I rarely only do for MMS. I don't know if it's the type of prepaid simcard(National prepaid simcard) I'm using that allows me to get through this loop hole or not but if it is I'm not complaining :D. Just my .2cents
[Networking] caffeinated chris:
ok a few things. First to answer OP's question is yes, it is possible with any unlocked phone. problem is that AT&T has certain IMEI numbers that are recognized as smart phone IMEI's. Like my friend had an HD2 that he brought to AT&T and they recognized it and immediately changed his data plan to a smartphone data plan. Although there are other people with smartphones who have the AT&T system tricked because the system doesnt know what their IMEI number is for.

So yes, it is possible. And yes, as for the NON-Smartphone $50 unlimited talk, txt, and data plan, yes it does exist. AT&T just started it recently and no its not for just international. Its directed towards NON-Smartphones. But again, if they cant recognize your smartphone IMEI, then they wont know.

As for the $50 sim card, no there's no such thing as a $50 sim card and no, its not "just for international phones" haha. Sim cards are $5.95 and if a store tells you anything higher, then call AT&T sales. Because they are ALWAYS $5.95 over the phone.

BOOM! glad to help haha
[Networking] Viper89:
Thanks for clearing some things up, so it's the IMEI number that determines if they can tell if it's a smartphone or not. I probably got lucky with buying the international version of the X1 :).
[Networking] caffeinated chris:
exactly. As far as I know, that is how they determine which phone you have is thru your IMEI.

So to answer OP's question, yes, you probably want to initially set it up with a NON smartphone IMEI and then switch the sim card to your SGSII.

OR get lucky and give them the IMEI and they dont recognize it and just assume it is a non smartphone. (So if you are setting this up over the phone and they ask you what type of phone it is, its some basic flip phone. DO NOT tell them its a smartphone. Or you will have ruined that idea haha)

PS. there is a possibility that later on they will recognize your IMEI and will notify you (usually by a text msg) telling you that they are switching your plan to a smartphone plan. If they have done this, then they probably finally found out that the IMEI you're using is actually a smartphone. And that sucks haha.

Its also possible they wont ever know. chances are they will once they get the list of IMEI's and what phones they actually are for. I dont know how often they update their list of IMEI's so no telling how long you'll get away with it. some people have successfully done so for months or years. so we will see :D

good luck!! :D:D;)

I've had my phone for 1 year and 9 months now if they were going to do something they would have already, and Sony also stopped making the X1i awhile ago so as for as my IMEI being recognized I'm not worried at all about it ;) .
[Networking] caffeinated chris:
NICE. haha yea like I said, some phones they might eventually find out, and some they wont. You happen to be one of the ones they probably wont find. Enjoy that haha:D
[Networking] illatwill:
Almost 100% sure that plan does not include Smartphone data.

As well it shouldn't; I do not understand why carriers cater more to their prepaid customers by offering such low rate plans while proceeding to charge customers who sign contracts by charging them a steeper price for the same plan.

:mad:
[Networking] caffeinated chris:
Yes, you are right, this plan is not a smartphone data plan. Thats why we are talking about ways on how to get it on your smartphone haha.:p

And secondly, no contract phone plans are cheaper because you have to lay down money flat out to buy a phone. Contracts are made to give you that $700 phone for $100-$199. By you being in that contract it guarantee's they are going to get their money for that phone. :D
[Networking] Emission:
Don't mean to grave-dig the post but when I went to an AT&T store for new SIM cards (activated one through a go-phone and didn't know that it locked the SIM to the phone), I wasn't charged anything for them, the store rep gave them to me for free.

That aside, I've been toying with this concept myself. I've been looking everywhere for good candidates for a smartphone that ATT doesn't sell and that is compatible with their HSPA network.

I have a couple unlocked T-Mobile phones that the data works on, but only at EDGE speeds because they don't have the proper frequencies to support ATT 3/3.5/4G.

Does anyone have any new suggestions?

EDIT: So far I've found that the HTC Wildfire S A510a, and the HTC Sensation Z710a are both compatible with ATT's HSDPA 850 and GSM 850 bands and may be good candidates. I already have a T-Mobile HTC Sensation Z710e and really don't want to buy another phone that's practically the same :(.
[Networking] DorkyDev:
I'm digging this up because I need answers before jumping ship.

Does AT&T still make smartphone users pay extra for data? I'm thinking of moving from Boost mobile to AT&T with an LG Fathom...

Either AT&T or metroPCS, if AT&T does still charge smartphone users for data then most likely it'll be over to metroPCS I go then.
[Networking] TomTheGeek3:
Like with a plan? Yes.
[Networking] DorkyDev:
Well what I meant was are Smartphones still supposedly uneligilble for the prepaid 50 a month unlimited plan, do they still have to pay extra for data?

If yes, how much extra?
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Yes, they have to pay extra. Not all smartphones will be in their database, so if you have a European phone with the appropriate HSPA bands it could potentially trick the system into believing you have a featurephone.

As for how much extra, it's something ridiculous like 30 bucks or so.
[Networking] DorkyDev:
Mines a Verizon LG Fathom...

Is T-Mobile just as ridiculous too? I saw they have a prepaid 50 a month unlimited plan... What jerked me back away from that was 100Mb unthrottled then every bit over that is "managed" unless ya pay for the highspeed unlimited 4g data.
[Networking] Stonent:
How do you expect a non-gsm phone to work on a gsm network?
[Networking] DorkyDev:
Just because it came from a cdma carrier doesn't mean it's a non-gsm phone... It's a world phone, meaning both cdma and gsm.
[Networking] DorkyDev:
Called up t-mobile and it sounds like they'd be my (our) best bet, they don't charge ya anything additional if it's a smartphone for data... So it really is flat-out 50 bucks unlimited everything, no limitations, no specification handsets required or anything.
[Networking] eskay89:
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but has anyone tried this recently?

Will probably give this a go in a couple of months using the HTC Sensation z710a.

Pretty harsh not getting any "smartphone data" included on a $50 plan. Would be heading straight to T-mobile if my z710a was AWS compatible.

If your update is stalled on an x64 machine when UpdateWP.exe crashes, go to the %program files%\Zune folder and delete UpdateWP.exe.

Then run the Setup-UpdateWP-x64.exe again and try the update again.

Cheers!

Please add thanks if this helps you out.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radzi:
I've updated my phone three days ago officially from 7004 to 7008 and then 7.0.7390 (copy &paste).

Yesterday I made a restore and it went to 7008, but now my phone says it's updated but I'm only 7.0.7008, but now I can't go back to 7390 !!!!

One time it showed me that an update was available, I did it but nothing changed, went from 7008 to 7008, since that just says it's up to date.

Please Help me, what's the procedure to have this update back?? Will I have it back?? I've tried many times and Update is not available anymore.

[Verizon Droid Charge] wenzer:
Could I get some help with a frozen stock recovery?

Just got my Charge yesterday and rooted it using chadness tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122657 via odin. Then flashed PBJT but couldn't r/w to sd card so I then flashed the sd card fix but it still didn't work. I decided to try flashing gummy charge ROM thinking that might fix the error but while in CWM recovery and flashing it got hung up on "Installing /.android-secure" for like 20 mins so I pulled the battery. I had done a nandroid backup prior to flashing the ROM so I returned to CWM in an effort to restore that previous state but it again hung at the same spot during restore.

I tried going all the way back to unrooted ED1 via odin and succeeded in flashing but when replacing the battery and rebooting it does a scan of "movi" [with yellow text] then gives me several options with blue text: "Reboot system now", "Wipe factory reset", "Wipe cache/partition" and so on. But when I hit reboot all it does is bring me back to that screen. I've tried several different .tar images flashing from odin but nothing else seems to change things.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering since we have the awesome ability of the OTG cable to plug stuff into the Xoom, is there anyway to get printer support working so I can for example print a coupon I found online, or a receipt from a purchase?

Thank you in advance for everyone's time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jediman:
Personally I use PrinterShare, its only a couple bucks in the market place and works extremely well if you have a Wifi Printer.

Haven't tried an OTG connection but my guess is no.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDARKMATT3Rx:
Ok I will definitely give that one a try. So would there be anyway to use printershare to print off of another computer in my home network if my printer is not wifi? This would allow me the printing capablities, but would kinda defeat the purpose since I want to be able to print without a computer around, but this would be a start for now. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sistema1927:
If you have Chrome browser on the PC connected to the printer you could use Google Cloud printing using Printshare app.

What is your favorite eBook reader app and what are your favorite functions of the eReader app of your liking?

I have been using the Kindle app. I have tried most other apps, but I keep on coming back to the Kindle app. One thing I really liked was in the Nook app the pages have a flip/turning animation. I really wish that would be implemented into the Kindle app.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rumpleforeskin:
I like the kindle app too, also tried a few others but the kindle one works very well.

And regarding the turning page animation, it may look cool at first but soon becomes tedious. im happier with just a quick change of the page.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] petrochemicals:
I could see how it would slow down the actual page turn.

Another problem is importing of eBooks in the Kindle app. To see the cover you need to add a picture in a different folder. Seems like importing eBooks could be a little more seamless.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] benwade:
I recommend Cool Reader

I like Cool Reader. It's free, Honeycomb compliant, has page-turning animation (if you want it), has different font sizes, colors, etc., and reads several formats. Also, installing books is as simple as copying them to the eBook folder.

I prefer fbreader. It reads the formats I use (mainly ePub these days). It allows me to manage my library on the sdcard. It can be setup to be a clean, no animations display that lets me still see my toolbar. I hate having the clock, battery and notifications hidden.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coucher:
Ok guys (and gals)..

I personally have a rooted & rom'd Epic 4G. A coworker recently upgraded to their first smartphone, a Samsung Fascinate on Verizon.

Since they know nothing, they asked me to do a few things to the phone for them.

Here's what I've done so far..

Rooted (fully & confirmed) via One-Click Root. Originally tried rooting via steps found here and over on Android Central but it didn't seem to fully root. Some things would run that required root, but others wouldn't (Titanium Backup being one). Bottom line, phone is fully rooted now. Running the stock ED04 rom with no intent to change. This guy isn't a power user, just wants a few things beyond fully stock.

Issue 1 -

Next thing I wanted to do was get Clockwork Mod installed so they could do fully system backups. Tried installing the red Clockwork Mod via Odin found here which somewhat works, but the Backup/Restore functions aren't really operational. If you run a backup, it goes through like it worked, but then when you go to do a restore the first thing I noticed was all the dates on any backups made are set to January of 2000 for some reason. When selecting any of the backups present, it won't restore them. Thoughts? Link to a fully working CWM for ED04?

Issue 2 -

Wanted to flash a good kernel for him so I chose OTB Reloaded v1.6. Flashed via CWM, installed Voltage Control, and all that is working good. The only issue was that after flashing the kernel it screwed up the boot animation. Layered over top of the stock Galaxy S animation and then the Verizon one was the generic "ANDROID" animation. No huge deal, but it irritated me so I tried to fix it by flashing a "stock" Galaxy S boot animation found HERE. The issue now is there is no boot animation at all. After powering the phone on and getting the plain white text "Samsung" the screen goes completely black for a few seconds as the phone boots until you find yourself at the main screen. Any suggestions?

I've searched and looked around a bit but having trouble finding any clear info on either issue. Perhaps it's just me, but it seems like the Fascinate info and sections are very scattered and outdated? :confused:

Thanks in advance for any insight, help, tips, info, and/or fixes!! :)
