[HTC Sensation] PensFan66:
Ive been in the 3D forums since launch and I love the 3D but I cant handle Sprints 100k speeds and no answers from them - So I am likely moving to T-Mobile and the Sensation....

Can anyone tell me what speeds they get once you hit your "4G Limit"?

Is it useable at all after you hit your 2,5, or 10GB?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
you're stuck at 2g after you hit your limit
[HTC Sensation] PensFan66:
Yeah, Ive read varying reports of that speed - around 200k??? Right now, Im lucky to even hit that on my Sprint Connection.
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Yeah, around that. The max you'll get is about 300-400 Kbps. If you live in an area with good HSPA connectivity, you should get speeds from 5-7 Mbps down easily in you are within your cap.

This is my best result during peak hours.
[HTC Sensation] jassycliq:
Well I've heard some stories of being able to block the data throttling. That only works with perm root though... Not to mention it also only works on certain devices. Sensation could or could not be one of them. But speeds are as mentions above.
[HTC Sensation] PensFan66:
Thanks for the replies - I think we are going to swap tomorrow. Sounds like Edge would allow me to stream radio at the least - I checked my old AT&T account and it was rare that I went over 5, I was usually around 4.8GB :)

I do love the HTC 3D but with the seed Im getting, its like having a lamborghini and going up and down the driveway....

I did test the speed at 2 t-mobile stores in the area and low DL's were around 3000k and high around 5000k .... Im happy with 1500, so this is great
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Hello all,

I am using a Bell Canada GT on Rogers in Canada (with JPZ modem).

All works good (I have internet and phone) - however I never seem to use 3G.

The 3G indicator comes on for a second or two, but then the GT switches over to a non 3G data mode.

I would think 3G is the fastest - and it would be great to use it.

Do I need to use a different modem file? Or maybe different settings?

Please help.

Thank you all!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
What is it switching to? H, or G, or EDGE? There is a Bell modem - JK3. Maybe try that? Takes only a few seconds to find out.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
It switches to H
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
H is a half-step faster than 3g. It's short for HSPA (high speed sumpin-sumpin).
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetguy2005:
Thank you so much for explaining. I googled hspa and you are right. I have learnt something from you.

Also, it seems then that there is no need to touch the modem file.

[Gen8 General] arpruss:
OK, I spent a couple of hours figuring out how loop mounting works. The problem is that the mount command in both toolbox and busybox supports only one loop device. I modified the toolbox version to allow the specification of a new loop device.

Here is how to make a 500mb loop-mounted ext2 system at /mnt/myloop , with the system being stored in /storage/sdcard/myext2system.img

Step 1. Make sure you have root. Download bettermount*.zip to your PC from here. Copy the "bettermount" file from the zip file to /data/local/ (or some other location). One way of doing that is with:

adb push bettermount /data/local

on the PC. Or you can mount your device to USB, copy bettermount to storage, and then in a root shell copy it to /data/local. Or if you have RW root, you can install bettermount in /bin or some other convenient location.

Start a shell on the device, either via adb or an on-device terminal (not recommended unless you have an external keyboard). Switch to root:

su

Then make bettermount executable:

chmod 755 /data/local/bettermount

The following steps assume you're still in your root shell.

Step 2. Create ext2 file system in a file. (Skip this if you already have one.)

dd if=/dev/zero of=/storage/sdcard/myext2system.img bs=1M count=500
mke2fs /storage/sdcard/myext2system.img

mke2fs will give you a warning that this isn't a block special device, but just press "y" and "enter".

Step 3. Create a loop device node for the ext2 file system. The problem here is that the OS uses loop device nodes for apps moved to external storage and one for the system squashfs, and it only has enough loop device nodes for those purposes--any loop device nodes in /dev/block are already in use. On the assumption that you aren't going to have more than 253 apps moved to storage, we're going to create a loop device node numbered 255. If you like, you can check that there isn't already one with that number with

ls /dev/block/loop*

So, let's create the loop device node:

mknod -m640 /dev/block/loop255 b 7 255

Step 4. Create a mount point:

mkdir /mnt/myloop

Step 5. Mount myext2filesystem.img:

/data/local/bettermount -t ext2 -orw,exec,noatime,nodiratime,sync,loop=/dev/block/loop255 /storage/sdcard/myext2system.img /mnt/myloop

Enjoy your new file system at /mnt/myloop !

You will have to repeat Steps 3-5 after every boot, or else you can make a script that runs every time you boot. You could simply put the commands for 3-5 into a Script Manager script set to run on boot, or there may be some better, more unixy way (but I haven't had any luck editing startup scripts).

What to do with your shiny new filesystem? Well, you could move not just apps but also their libraries to external storage (you can also do that by remounting your external storage in exec mode).
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Which version of busybox were you testing with? I haven't had a problem with multiple loop devices...
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
I've been using the stock busybox: 1.7.2.

Do you use -oloop=/dev/block/loopNN to specify the device?

I just tried 1.16.0 from the Titanium Backup website. No luck. I created /dev/block/loop222. Then:

# /tmp/busybox mount -t ext2 -oloop=/dev/block/loop222 /storage/10.img /mnt/myloop
mount: can't setup loop device: No such file or directory
# bettermount -t ext2 -oloop=/dev/block/loop222 /storage/10.img /mnt/myloop
# (works!)

I also tried just plain -oloop, without the =/dev/block/loop222, and it didn't work.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
I can't remember if mount was symlinked to busybox at the time, but I just used the standard "mount -o loop disk1.img /mnt/disk". I may have even been on a custom kernel and had a crosscompiled mount, so good work, this is probably going to be a common problem for people.
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
The problem with busybox seems to be that it thinks /dev/block/loop0 is free, but it's not. Doing losetup -f returns /dev/block/loop0.
[Gen8 General] fzelle:
If you could mount the loopdevice in init.rc this would be the easiest way to expand the 300MB /data problem with archos.

Also it might be the best way in CM7 until its stable for the persistent Data between revisions.
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
I have had no luck adding anything to init.rc with the rw root.

Moreover, /storage and /storage/sdcard get mounted quite late in the boot process--late enough that I think one can't just move the /data directory there. I suppose one might be able to mount them earlier in the process, but I haven't been able to figure out how to run anything in an init script. If anybody knows how to do it, please speak up!

What one could do, however, is mount the loop from an app's on-boot notification, and then symlink individual app files.
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
It looks like with a better busybox than the one included with the device, one can also use losetup to specify the loop device--see here.
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
I built a full 1.18.5 version of Busybox, and it does loop mounting just right. You can replace Step 1 of my HOWTO with fetching my modified busybox and putting it in /data/local, from http://code.google.com/p/busybox-for-android/downloads/list

Then step 3 is not needed.

Step 4 should be replaceable with the very simple:

/data/local/busybox mount -orw,exec,noatime,nodiratime,sync,loop /storage/sdcard/myext2system.img /mnt/myloop

Or if you're pressed for time, and want to use default mount options:

/data/local/busybox mount -oloop /storage/sdcard/myext2system.img /mnt/myloop

But if you want to implement this is inside an app, depending on your license needs, you may want to use the longer method, since busybox is GPL while bettermount is Apache 2.

I think your best bet would to be to learn adb. It is very useful with many aspects of your phone. You can indeed get into download mode through adb most of the time (if not everytime) if your phone boots up.

Well you will need to Download and install SDK for android. Once install open the programs folder and shift+right click Tools folder and open cmd from there. There you have access to ADB commands, one your interested is "adb reboot download".

A good simple guide for adb commands is this. Thanks the creator of that thread if it helps.

[Milestone XT720 General] lynxz3:
So i've been looking at all the XT720 ROMs that are available now, and it's got me wondering which rom is the best? They all seem to be very similar.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
It depends on what you are looking for, ill break it down for you.

Everything started with dexters froyo 1.3. Excellent breakthrough for all XT720 users so most of us started out with this ROM. Over time the excellent devs like khal powers, fjfalcon and Mioz7ae, worked on the same dexters froyo to create basically 3 ROMS.

1) Khalpowers Epic Steel V4, heavily optimized, fast stable, swap support and non stock appearance.

2) Fjfalcon, took the stock dexters and created RusMod 1.19 which is dexters with stock appearance and all the optimizations. He recently changed the kernel to the one from CB's Froyo, and also added build prop changes from there. It has multilanuguage support. He also created the SWAP kernel which can be applied to all the said ROMS, but needs a fastboot via USB everytime your phone reboots.

3) Khalpowers, ported MIUI which is a whole new experience. Depends on how much you like MIUI. Like epicsteel its very fast and stable.

4) Cincinnati Bell Froyo, built by CB using the same process as dexter. Much more stable than dexters.

5) WanHU's rom based on the original korean 2.2 is what most people are looking into right now. Stock 2.1 appearance. Very fast, media buttons working, radio working, TV out working, and with haptic feedback. This is the closest well get to an offical MOTO release.

If you want to go with a stock froyo appearance I suggest try either CB, or RUS mod. If you want different appearance try MIUI, or epicsteel. If you want the latest and most promising ROM which is just a treat to use go for WanHU. Personally id tell you flash WanHU, been using it nowadays and I have to say its pretty cool.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] yugotprblms:
Hello, I have been experiencing a weird issue with restoring apps with Titanium Backup Pro that I have never had before. My captivate had Firefly 3.0 on it and apps were being backed up every night. My phone started freezing and restarting, so I flashed to stock, master cleared, then reloaded Firefly 3.0. I use Titanium backup pro to restore the apps it had backed up, and it seems to work fine. Once they are all done, I can access them and use them, whatever.

The issue arises after I restart the phone; some of the apps just go away from the app drawer. They are not on my sd card, so that can be ruled out. For instance, Angry Birds got restored fine, and I could play it until I restarted the phone, then it just went away. Same with Flikie HD, and many others. I look in the application manager and some apps just have the generic android icon and their names are in the format "com.android......". These are the apps that will not work.

This has never happened to me before and there seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. There is no pattern for what apps it does or does not restore. Also, unknown sources are allowed and Titanium Backup says the backup files are fine, no errors at all. I have gone through the process of flashing to stock, master clearing, reflashing quite a few times now, but the same thing every time, with the same apps it seems.

Thanks for taking the time to read my long problem, but I wanted to be as descriptive as possible. Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.

This was a known issue when installing a ROM with an incompatible version of CWM. Just verify which version of clockwork mod you have and what the flashable .zip requires to load properly. May or may not be it, just figured I'd throw it out there.

Huh, I never got the option to reload only the data, it was weird. After I installed the apps from the market, the option to restore the app or data was gone totally.

I don't think that is the issue, thanks though. I have restored apps on Firefly 3.0 with the same CWM with no issues, so I doubt that is it. I appreciate the reply though.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] clem_ita:
I'm not a developer, but I think that if stock camera app had something to do with kernel, this problem could be solved.. because we have kernel sources. And possibly the same goes for framework, since framework apk can be decompiled and modified.

I don't say that it would be easy, nor quick.. but a capable developer could do this kind of stuff if he had time.

If think the problem is that stock camera app has something to do with some system libs! :(

Libs cannot be decompiled and there is no available sources... so there is little room for modding..
