My modded DreamKernel from the previous builds. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
yes please let the rom settle!!!!!!

It automatically is gonna start downloading previously saved apps from the market. Thats why it starts off laggy.....give it 10 minutes or so depending on how many apps it redownloading.
[HTC Sensation] alejate76:
spent the last few hours trying to find the APN settings for the bell sensation to work on the "4G" AT&T network. Tried quite a few and merged some info from the Galaxy S2 xda forum. This is what I have come up with:

I'm getting about 4.5 down and 1.5 up. Prior to using these settings I'd be lucky to get 1 down and .5 up.

I'm on the unlimited 4g plan and living in Phoenix
[HTC Sensation] Muhamadabdelaall:
Hi,

Thanks for what you wrote but are you geting the "H+" or just the "H"?
[HTC Sensation] alejate76:
Just the H

We dont have HSPA+ service active where I live (phoenix, az)
[HTC Sensation] Muhamadabdelaall:
I have tried everyway online to get the "H+" speed which available in my area but I failed!!
[HTC Sensation] pandacat17:
I'm having the same issue...do you know if it is just the speed?

what is average H+ speed on AT&T supposed to be?

i'm starting to wonder if the stock roms on AT&T just lie about it being faster than H, given some other threads on the atrix/inspire forums.
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
I just got the bell sensation today...and I'm getting only Edge speeds on my phone :confused:

I also have SGS2 and with the same apn settings i get 1.5 - 2Mbps down, but with sensation im getting only 50 - 100 kbps down. Something is wrong, do i need to flash some different baseband or anything else i need to do to get decent speeds on ATT?

EDIT: And I'm on the $15 unlimited data for Non-Smartphones.
[HTC Sensation] alejate76:
I am running 100% stock software, radio, baseband from bell canada on at&t network and achieving pretty good speeds compared to other devices I own.

I could be wrong, as I don't work for at&t, but if you are on the non-smartphone plan I think that will be limiting you to the 2g/edge network only as your account on that line isn't provisioned for 4g data. The plan you are using is for old flip phones like the motorola razor.

When you are using the Galaxy S2 - is that also on the non-smart phone plan? What if you take the sim card from the S2 and put it in the sensation? same results?
[HTC Sensation] Muhamadabdelaall:
Hi,

I was exactely in your situation because Bell settings arent configured for AT&T HSPA, all you have to do is install from the market program called "APN Tweakker" & run it for "AT&T Voice & Data" & you will get the "H" rightaway.
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
Yes same sim as sgs2 and same non smartphone data plan. It started working fine after sometime I posted the question here so no issues :)

And also the medianet $15 will not reduce speeds. I have tried the 4G att plan with tweaked APN settings on both sgs2 and sensation, they give me same speeds as the medianet plan.
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
Does the network indicator on the Sensation distinguish between HSPA and HSPA+, at all?

I'm on TMobile with the Sensation 4G. Of course they changed they "H+" indicator to "4G", since they call HSPA+ 4G. I have never seen the "H" indicator on my device, only "4G", "E", "G" etc.
[HTC Sensation] kirdroid:
Don't think so, it only displays H, 3g, E in my case. SGS2 displays only H+, 3g, E. Both cases speeds are same.
[HTC Sensation] cajuncartfan:
Will these settings work for the Bell Incredible S on AT&T?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dweb619:
Does anyone know where I can get motorola's apk file? I would like to see how it works vs stock htc
[HTC Inspire 4G] trell959:
I don't believe it is an apk. I think its built into the framework. Or if it is an apk it wouldn't work without the rest of motoblurs framework
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
I had it for awhile on my captivate and it stopped working after awhile and can't find one that'll work with gb

Yea I wish it would work any other keyboards that are good to use?
[EVO 4G General] afxtwn:
Sprint agreed to replace my EVO with the screen brightness problem and offered me a NEXUS because the EVO is currently back ordered, I declined, good idea?
[EVO 4G General] xchompondizx:
Its watever your heart desire....but I would choose evo then nexus
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
That's an awesome trade if you don't mind the smaller screen.

That's the ONLY thing holding me back from a Nexus.

Also, given that the Evo doesn't have root, Nexus S looks more appetizing.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Nexus baby!
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
I would have definitely taken the nexus no question. In fact tell me what you did so I can get my troublesome EVO replaced for a nexus :)
[EVO 4G General] themadmen:
Hey did you call sprint or went to a store???
[EVO 4G General] kbshowtyme:
Dude Im trading for the Nexus too unless someone unlocks this phone fast I need my CM7.....I just bought the Evo and was unaware of the update issue if I had known I was have the Nexus now. When is the Photon 4g coming out?
[EVO 4G General] Uamore6:
Nexus only has an 8g internal memory. No sd card.
[EVO 4G General] kbshowtyme:
You mean 16bg not 8 but still no SD card slot but I only own a 8 gb card so its a win for me not to mention on CM7 with my MT4g I was getting 35 hours+ on one charge and not the Nexus have a auto kill built in and I don't mean the froyo crap but a real killer and the volume with my skullcandy sounds like subs...I have to have this phone.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Considering that the EVO has no root right now yeah, I would have taken the Nexus.

EDIT: That being said, if anyone has a Nexus only because they have/had a non-rootable EVO, PM me if you want to trade. :p
[EVO 4G General] sog1971:
At this point, as a matter of principal -- I think I would have chosen the Nexus (if you care about root.)

Even though the EVO is the better phone, people of this community to continue to support phones that are being locked down on purpose, and then re-locked on firmware updates seems detrimental.

Unless of course you are someone who enjoys hacking, cracking, exploiting, or waiting for a security hole -- just to maybe someday have root. Personally, I want to go with a phone where most of the development time for custom roms and mods does not have to be wasted cracking boot loaders.....
[EVO 4G General] Krayvon:
?

how did you get them to crack? i have the same issue on one of my lines but they wouldnt do **** for me. they referred me to htc's customer service and they wanted me to send the phone back to them for 3 weeks!

now my warranty is gone, still stuck with leaking evo and i hate sprint more and more
[EVO 4G General] Systemfraud:
I'm in the same boat as you. Light leakage, slight screen separation, and the bright white spot on my screen. I will gladly take a Nexus, the question still remains.

Sent from ....
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I was offered the same. I took the nexus. Should be here tomorrow.
[EVO 4G General] curtisc19:
So was this at a Sprint store or over the phone? I have two Evo's. And one that had the OTA update to 2.3.3 has a blemish or something in the screen....hmm....
[EVO 4G General] thedudejdog:
i would also like to know how this was done. i'm trying to get my hands on a nexus.
[EVO 4G General] 14u2c:
EVO all the nexus missing to many things..
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I think that karma must be messing with me, because this afternoon my EVO was damaged catastrophically. I thought to myself "no biggie, because they're going to offer me a Nexus when I try to replace it so I won't be stuck with a non-rooted phone". Well, bullsh*t. Assurion or whatever the hell its called said they had plenty of newer EVOs available.

Would love to know how you were offered a Nexus, bud, because I even went through retentions trying to get this resolved and no dice. They did offer to pay half my deductible, which is something, but boy am I pissed off right now.
[EVO 4G General] Sry0fcr:
Probably because his was a warranty issue not an insurance claim.

For the record, I'd take the Nexus S.
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Well, that doesn't make me less pissed, dammit! :mad:

Still, I have a soft spot for Sprint so I can't stay mad at them forever. Not until I get that POS unrootable phone at least.
[EVO 4G General] afxtwn:
I chose to stay with the EVO, way I saw it is I have an extended battery and the car mount that a LOVE. Also I know that the EVO will be rooted sooner rather than later and im cool waiting for it.
[EVO 4G General] :
I would have taken the Nexus S. It is a fair upgrade from the Evo hardware wise.

I Haz 3D!
[EVO 4G General] droiddawg:
The nexus also lacks a notification light. I had the nexus for 2 days, I felt so limited with the 16 GB internal memory and no blinking green light.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
The EVO is not the better phone.... the only thing the EVO has over the nexus is a larger screen and a kickstand. The nexus beats the EVO on every other spec.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
There is a mod to flash the capacitive buttons for notifications.
[EVO 4G General] mikel719:
I have light leakage and my screen is separating fron the bottom, I called sprint and they wouldn't do nothing but direct me to the nearest repair store wich is 100 miles away.

I have a store in my town but they are not a repair center so they said untill I take it there they would not replace my evo unless I did a insurance claim and paid the $100 deductible. Sprint is crap already.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
Yep, its called BLN and it works quite well.

I got my Nexus as a replacement to my EVO yesterday and it performs much better than the EVO and the screen is beautiful (Voodoo takes care of the color saturation problems).
[EVO 4G General] Lokifish Marz:
I work at an ISC. I swapped out 3 Evo's for 2 Nexus S and an Evo Shift this week. Customer Service told you wrong. Any Authorized Exchange Location should be able to swap "up" to a Nexus or Shift unless that specific location has been restricted from doing so.
[EVO 4G General] eaguil16:
I love my evo. I used my brothers nexus and I'm not a fan of it.
[EVO 4G General] kbshowtyme:
I took the Nexus and Im happy with it and it was rooted within 2 hour of exchange.....eat your hearts out Evo peeps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onederer:
For instance, clicking the new thread button in 4g took 3 minutes to open the page... MOSTLY. Click the same in 3g and the same page opened in 7 seconds.

The same thing happens when opening the Tumblr app, most forums and yelp via any browser. I tried modifications to the EPST Wimax settings and the 4g proxy settings. I even switched to a stock 2.3 rom. All to no avail.

Are there any known fixes for this issue?

Currently I am running...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf3g:
I've never seen this myself. 4G is always blazing for me compared to 3G. Have you tried this in several different 4G locations around town? Could be you're just in a bad location. A poor signal can definitely cause this behavior.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nocturnalmike:
Its happening to me too. My 3g is atleast twice as fast as my "4g". I took my phone up to sprint yesterday and asked them to check it out and they said it was fine hardware/software wise. Its probably just a location thing

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onederer:
I have tried it at multiple locations and it is the same from the Santa Monica to the San Gabriel Valley to the Inland Empire in southern California. The thing is, it downloads files and such plenty quick. It's just on the types of web pages mentioned in my OP. Maybe it's a Flash issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninoriff:
CLEAR will not place you in the Account Managment program (throttle) unless your using an abusive amount of data for example either hosting a data center or running a website with high FTP/HTTP server downloads, running an online Video broadcasting channel like Shoutcast Video for 24/7 str-8, continous non-item downloads PACKET usage, like using speedtest all day, every minute. I have seen users with 250GB of monthly usage with no NVM assinged. Service degrade issues have nothing to do with restrictions, sometimes service degrades because of loss of LOS, additional new customers, tower issues, etc etc etc...

if you are capped by CLEAR your account will have a notice in your clear.com management
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoner1:
What rom are you using? Are you using any kind of ad blocking hosts?

When using Adfree app to block ad it's a known problem (very slow web surfing on 4g) to use ip 127.0.0.1. Always use custom IP of 127.0.0.0 which make surfing the web much faster while on 4g.

Might not relate to you but thought I'd ask.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onederer:
I'm using Leoisrights Speedy Rom, I've also gone back to the stock 2.3 for a while.

I'm not using an adblocker.

I will try out you suggestion on the ip address.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inifekt:
I did none of those and had 10 GB of usage with being throttled to slower than 3G speeds. *Shrug*
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chewieez:
I have more trouble with 4g's reception than it's speed. My 4g speed varies greatly but it's generally faster than 3g. I love 4g until I go inside. It barely works in my house, but works fine outside. Works great in parks in downtown Nashville but hard to maintain a connection while inside a building.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onederer:
Well, it's still happening. It's not a Throttling issue. It is not a speed issue, 4g is showing about 5.34mb down, 3g is 620kb The pages are hanging up when loading. It seems to only happen on a few of the sites that I frequent. Like this one, Tumblr and a few other sites. But it only happens in 4g. Using 3g on this page loaded in seconds compared to the 3 minutes that this page took to load using 4g. Sometimes it will load a pagepartially then the green bar will freeze at about 90% then it Might finish loading if it "feels like it".

I am using the stock browser and no adblocker apps. Using Opera mini seems to help a bit.

My friend that lives in the same area has the same issue, and when i was in Santa Monica and San Francisco we experienced the exact same behavior as well as another friend from San Jose.

Comparing loading the same pages on my mothers Shift yields her page loading in a fraction of the time that my device takes. This is very annoying. Anyone else having this issue? I've seen it mentioned before http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g/40750-anyone-having-problems-w-4g-flash-sites.html
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
I WISH I had this problem. I likely won't see 4g in my area until the year 2037.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onederer:
heh...my condolences Braneless. :)

I will be making a video of this issue when i get my hands on my moms phone again.

The issue does not crop up when i am tethering 4g to my home computer. so my guess is that it is an issue with the stock browser. But other than Opera, I've had it with about 3 other browsers that i tried including Dolphin browser.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mtmcghee:
Ok,

So my home row buttons (Menu, Home, Back, Search) do not light up as they should! if the room is dark they will not work at all! and ive never seen them work in a dark room! However every day in the late afternoon when im in my living room and the phone is charging they will just light up! (at first i though it was a refection or just ambient light in the room so i grabbed the phone and ran into my closet and WOW they light up!) so i figured it was something with my settings so i reset my phone to new and still same problem, then said WTH and rooted and updated to 2.3.4 (best thing ive done with it so far!) and have the exact same problem... So then i decided to try another charge (brand new out of the box 1 day old!) and the lights will do the same and light up when its moderately light in the room but then they wont turn off...

So a chat with samsung and they tell me that these phones dont have that feature! so off to verizon and lets test a few more devices!!! and what? at some point they lit up also in inappropriate lighting conditions, so after puzzled VZW people i consult samsung again and they tell me yet again that the featured isnt offered on this phone, so my guess is that its a software flaw?

any ideas?

anyone having lighting issues?

thanks

Odd, works fine for me. Is it possible that you have a screen protector covering your light sensor? In the day time the back lights are off, then if I cover the light sensor they come right on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kejar31:
The light sensors (which controls auto brightness and the backlights on the hardkey) is broken in the kernel for Gingerbread..

If this is a huge issue for you you might want to consider going back to Froyo

It might even be broken on the stock Froyo. All the people who said it's working fine for them right now are running custom ROMs, kernels, firmwares and all that jazz. Maybe it was fixed through one of these custom updates. I dunno.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mrdiode:
I just got a brand new Charge (thanks to the Fascinate swap program).

The bottom buttons do not light up. This is fresh out of the box.

I also do not see any way in which they would light up - the icons appear to be painted on to the physical buttons. No underlay for LED backlight.. but I suppose there is one if custom ROMs allow for it.

Which I will know shortly :)

there is no screen protector or case on either of the phones, and both phones were cleaned well to make sure nothing was hindering the sensors.

The problem is not only to the one that is rooted and flashed but also happens to the 2 at verizon that i inspected (brand new out of the box) and the 2nd one that i have that is also brand new with no mods

I think that the kernel for this phone was just snatched and quickly edited (by samsung) from another product and this is one thing that they havent been able to fix and figure out, because the woman at samsung told me

(Ruby: As your phone has physical keypads, there is no light feature available for keys.

Visitor: the small row of buttons (4 to be exact) at the bottom of the phone should be back lit in low light situations, however they occasionally light up but only in moderately to brightly light rooms

Ruby: I am sorry, there is no feature available on your phone.

Visitor: im sorry but i can prove that this phone does have back lit keys

Ruby: I am sorry, your phone home key rows do not have light option)

but we all know that the button do actually have a lighting option and samsung is just trying to delete the function but isnt 100% successful..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racker:
Hello All,

Hoping to get some advice. I bought the official i9020a from best buy yesterday (on launch day) seems to be a great phone but I have a few questions and problems.

I unlocked the bootloader but did not root it yet

The biggest issue is battery life. Its terrible (like nexus one before applying the wifi setting trick after 2.3.4 terrible). this NS loses almost 10% of its battery power per hour on standby.

While on standby I have the following running

-wifi turned on

-3 push gmail accounts

Also I noticed that the hotspot doesn't work. when i turn it on it briefly shows 3G and the signal strength bars in green but then the 3G icon goes away and the signal bars turn white, my tablet and laptop can connect but no internet from connected devices and the phone browser itself - just page's not found

my baseband is: i9020aucke1

kernel version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80

adroid-build 'at' apa28 #1

Build Number: GTJ61

Any advice on the above would be great, I can easily return it but would rather keep it.

Anyone else buy the official Best Buy version and having issues?

Also Anyone know if this phone is locked to AT&T? I don't have handy access to a t-mobile sim card.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
Flash new rom. I am sure ATT has some tethering lock on the build. That should be expected.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
10% / hr is unbelievably bad (assuming the display isn't constantly on). What's consuming the battery in the battery stats?

Thus far no subsidized Nexus device has ever been sold sim locked (The Vodafone Nexus One, T-Mobile N1 and NS and the various Canadian Nexus devices). I'd be surprised if it were sim locked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racker:
Thanks everyone for the tips. After my original post and now I finished the root and installed cm7.

Cm7 took care of the hotspot issue. Battery life is still pretty dismal in standby. Ill do a test tonight and leave it unplugged all night and post what used the battery the most in the morning.

Thanks again
