Again, don't use the speedtest apps with 4G. Try this in web browser...

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

I only get 4Mbps with speedtest app but speakeasy shows over 6 at my work desk and 10-15MBps at home (few blocks from site). Have confirmed with real world downloads while tethered.

My Evo always peaked at 10Mbps but Epic Touch is apparently capable of peaks up to 15. Not that a phone really needs more than 4 anyway.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skribbles505:
I'm getting about the same and we have no 4g here so this really sucks. Luckily I use wifi a lot of places I go.

Use the Palo Alto server for more honest results.

Alternatively, go to speakeasy.net/speedtest for better results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gaspowered1:
I think there's something going on with the network.

I got this phone on Friday, and stitting on my couch at home I was getting 1.6mbps own and .9mbps up that afternoon on 3G. The last couple of days I'm lucky to beat 0.8mbps down and 0.4mbps up in the exact same location.

At work with a -76 to -86dbm signal (which is pretty strong) I'm getting 0.07mbps down and 0.12mbps up on 3G. Pretty poor.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xenokc:
Yeah, I've tried several speedtest methods/apps and compared to real world downloads via phone and tethering.

I'm like getting 80ms ping to a server in San Francisco, with about 7164kbps down and 1188kbps up on 4G.

I get 101ms ping on 3G, with 605kbps down and 659kbps up.

This is my 2nd day with the Sprint Network and it seems decent. Coverage seems ok. My city is listed as a 4G city from Sprint but I lost 4G connection out near my workplace.

EDIT: My phone's 4G is faster than my DSL by 4x (I got like 2.22Mbps download, but 23 ping). That's pretty depressing. But my DSL service only costs me like $20/month.

I wish the coverage was a bit better though...

I just got off the phone with Sprint. After being told 3 different things by three different reps, the person I talked to today told me that the main tower in the Dayton, OH area was being demolished and a new, temporary tower was under construction until a new tower could be built. The estimated date of completion for the new tower is October 17th. I'm going to tough it out, but data is almost unusable- it feels like dial up, maybe not even as fast.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c.schollum:
Hi all,

I work in end user support for mobiles.

A common issue we see here on android platforms (Stock and custom) is messages failing to deliver to the handset.

SMSC logs show that the delivery attempts fail due to a handset software issue.

I have dealt with this issue across;

Sony Ericsson X10

Huawei X5

Huawei U8150

LG P500

LG P970

Galaxy SII

Galaxy I5800

HTC

+ many others

Once clearing the messaging app data is done, the handset is then able to receive the messages.

My question is;

1) What files are cleared when doing the "Clear Data" for the Messaging application

2) what is the trigger on this issue occurring?

Many thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanehooper:
Please help. I have a few questions.

I have recently installed Titanium Backup on my Captivate and i accidentally converted the system messaging app (SMS/MMS) to a user app. It was not backed up. It no longer appears as an app in titanium backup. Can not find it anywhere. The messaging icon has disappeared from my home screen. I opened my contacts and selected a person to send a text and hit "send message" button and got an error message saying " the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. I had to force close. I then performed a Factory Data Reset in hopes that my phone would return to the "out of the box" state. No luck.

My phone is rooted of course. Froyo 2.2

Through some investigating i learned that my phone can be booted into recovery mode, which i did. No luck. No update.zip file exist. What do i do? Thanks in advance for your help.

If i unroot the device and then do a data factory reset will that work?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you have a 2.2 rom in your computer you can look for the .apk and just run it from the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Get a file explorer that has root access (root explorer for example) You will have to mount system r/w which if you're using root explorer is a button on the top right.

navigate to /data/app and see if mms.apk is there. If so long press it select move, navigate to /system/app and paste it in then reboot.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave4:
My Hd7 stopped working suddenly wouldn't load the os even after soft resett etc. - not dropped or anything. I took it to a repairer who said it neded new touch screen although there was no sign of any physical damage. He said it must have been due to power surge or something! Anyway new screen ($250) and everything seemed fine except no sound whatsover including when using the phone. Repairer said the speaker must be damaged and offered to repair it for the cost of the speaker kit ($65). However, new screen and speaker etc still no sound. Repairer thinks it might be 'the board' and is investigating. Has anyone else had a no sound problem and had it fixed? If so I would really like to know how. The HTC HD& is costing me a fortune and it still doesn't work.

Thanks for reading as I sob quietly to myself! :(

I see many of you complaining about poor quality with the camera. I have discovered that the camera is defaulted to 6mp and 720p recording. Open the camera and choose settings and change it to 8mp and 1080p modes. Enjoy
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mustang02:
You do realize MP doesn't mean much. And it doesn't really solve the issues some are having. I use my phone as a phone so the camera aspect hasn't affected me at all.

This.

I think the actual sensor, is not as good as other phones.

But everything has pro's and con's.

If you want a excellent pictures, a cell phone is not the device for it.

I like the video more than I like the stills. But what I like even more, is my buddies Nikon....

As soon as we can jam a Nikon or Canon or other DSLR sensor into a phone. Then we'll be good to go.

Is there any need to do a full wipe before you install another rom? I had to do that with my inspire. I know that there's only like 4 roms available at the moment, just want to be sure..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Usually the only time you don't have to wipe is when installing a minor update to a ROM.

Better safe than sorry - if in doubt, wipe.

Edit: When switching kernels, no need to wipe, except for one known issue: If you are using a voltage control app, disable all voltage control features before switching. There are two incompatible methods for setting voltages, and if you migrate between the two, you'll basically get a system that insta-hangs. (Example: migrating from Infusion-GB to my Daily Driver when voltage control settings are enabled is a Bad Idea.)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerosahero:
Hello everyone,

I have looked for a solution to this, but alas, I have not found one here.

So here's the deal: I am trying to get the "Desk Home" function accessed by the Standard dock to work without the dock. I have read sveral posts here that instruct to use "Launcher Pro," or I have used QCustomShortcuts to build a shortcut, or I have even purchased "Desk Home" app that should have forced a launch...but, no matter which i use, I can tell the screen attempts to rotate, but all of a sudden, it just rights itself again, and there is no Desk Home at all. Just seems to fail on every seperate attempt.

If it is on importance, I am running gingerbread 2.3.4

Any suggestions folks?

You'd assume there's a nice, detailed instruction on this, but there isn't.

I WILL DONATE TO THE DUDE(S) WHO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL DETAILED TUTORIAL!

It's high time we have instruction for anyone with a Bell Atrix device wishing to upgrade their phone to Gingerbread (2.3.4). I'm still struggling at 2.2.1, and have strong background in IT, but still new to all this Android gig.

My device story - bought it second hand, seller indicated it was rooted and unlocked. It's a Bell device, and I have it working on Telus. I've been able to do some 'rooted' methods on it, so I suspect I do have root access. But now I want gingerbread, and have been working on it on and off...for months!

Details are...

System Ver - Blur_Version.0.37.4.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA

Model # - MB860

Android Ver - 2.2.1

Baseband ver - N_01.77.06P

Kernal ver - 2.6.32.9 wmb050@zbr05lnxdroid07 #1 SMP PREEMPT

Build # - OLYLA_U4_0.37.4

Naturally you're going to ask "Well what has the dude done so far??"

They are...

Downloaded the following:

IHOP_Bell.rar

RSDlite

Moto-Fastboot

recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.zip

Gobstopper 2.2.2

Gobstopper 2.3.4

Steps done so far...

Unzipped IHOP_Bell.rar (inside there is: intl-fix-try1.spf, but someone recommended I use IHOP_Bell.sbf, yet there is no such file, just the intl...try1.spf file)

Installed, loaded RSDlite, hold down vol button, and pressed power, scrolled through options until came to RSD, then pressed up to start 'recovery thing'. Plugged phone in, RSDlite program saw phone, selected the intl...try1.spf file, pressed 'Start'.

As it was processing, the phone still loaded up as if it was in regular mode (showing Android lock screen, etc), and the RSDlite program was still processing nicely...after about 3-4 mins, it was at 100%, indicated to 'manually reboot phone'. To do this, while the phone is still plugged in, I went into my phone and selected 'Powerboot' to 'Reboot'. It reboot, and the RSDlite program indicate 'PASS'.

Whoopie.

Then proceeded to do the Fastboot step (I hate this part).

So with phone off, I held down the vol down button, pressed power...came up with 'Fastboot' on it, pressed vol up button to select 'recovery protocol'.

Using Win7 cmd mode, typed: moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (I changed file name to recovery so it's shorter).

Ugh...so this is what happens: "Failed to process command flash :recovery error (0x180002)"

Obviously I have 'write' issues to flash the img, what am I doing wrong here guys?? This is where I'm stuck.

PLEASE IN ALL THAT'S HOLY AND MERCIFUL - help a fellow geek out here, please? :]

Thanks.

Try downloading rom manager and flashing the recovery through it. Or download Romracers version and flash it through the recovery that you already have.

Also when u boot your phone does it tell u unlocked in too left of screen? If not check the pudding thread to make sure u r unlocked. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

Maybe try this as an alternative. But very odd that you tried rsd and it did that.

Open Terminal Emulator Type in SU Then Hit Enter Example: $SU #

Type in flash_image recovery /sdcard/(what ever the name of the IMG file).img Hit Enter Example: #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nate_benji:
Did you run the fastboot oem unlock command?

You have to run it once, then copy the code it spits out, and run it again with that code at the end. This will unlock the bootloader which will allow you to flash the recovery image. There's a tutorial here

After you get that recovery flashed, you can download the gobstopper 2.3.4 which has the latest bell gingerbread rom. Just a note, you'll have to run the bell ihop again. The 2.3.4 gobstopper replaces the unlocked bootloader with a locked one. (you wont have to type the oem unlock command again)

You will have to re flash the recovery though.

[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
I am pretty sure I know the answer to this, but I am just asking to be sure. I was looking at installing the "Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.2.1 - Moray", and I noticed that it said if I was not upgrading from Hammerhead, I needed to do a factory reset prior to flashing the ROM. I am not coming from Hammerhead, so I looked up the instructions on it, and it say "Factory Reset". So it looks like I am going to have to do a factory reset either way. True?

Can I ask why the need for the factory reset? I am sure there is a simple answer I am just not seeing, but it the ROM is going to overwrite my existing setup anyway, why the need for the Reset?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
If you have any changes to critical files (different from pure stock or the related Hammerhead rom), the Moray rom won't boot properly. It's worthwhile to just do the wipe data/factory reset than to try not to do it and end up looping.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
Guess I didn't finish reading the instructions. It says that due to some bug fixes, a factory rest is required. Answers that question.

Opps, didn't see your post okantomi, but you said the same thing.

Next, it says powered by the Tiamat 2.1.0 Stock GPU Kernel. If I have the gpuOC already installed, to I need to switxh that first, or does that also happen with the ROM flash?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I just flashed the oc gpu kernel over the Moray 2.2.1 rom update. Seems to work fine.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
So... I went ahead and switched to the Stock GPU Kernel, have performed my Titanium and Nandroid Backups, and am ready to Wipe and Flash the ROM.

I am going to do the wipe in CWM, can I then install the ROM immediatly after from within CWM with the Install from Zip option?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

So everything came up perfect. I love it, but I do have a question that has nothing to do with the ROM, if anyone doesn't mind.

Since I had to factory rest it before applying the ROM, it is attempting to download all my apps from Google. If I go into the market they all show they are waiting to download, but none has started yet. I have always noticed this on my Xoom, that unlike my X which starts downloads right away, the Xoom takes weird random amounts of time to start the downloads, even if its just one app.

Any idea why?
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Here's a tip...since you backed up with Titanium, go into it and from batch, just choose restore MISSING APPS AND DATA. Don't restore system apps and/or data.
[Xoom General] Krpto1973:
Hmmm, I think that would have required some fore thought, like putting the APK for Titanium into the the install_on_first_boot folder, cause after it rebooted, Titanium wasn't installed, and niether was a File Manger in order for me to install it, until it downloaded from the Market :)

Hindsight, huh!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotelmrrsn:
I'm trying to change the icon in my status bar that is displayed when i'm playing rhapsody. i've modified the notification icons in the .apk that i found in data/app. I created a .zip using the structure /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. in the main folder where META-INF resides i have a folder called data and inside that i have the modified com.rhapsody-1.apk. my updater script is as follows:

ui_print("Applying my update"￼;

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/data"￼;

package_extract_dir("app", "/data/app"￼;

run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/data"￼;

i zipped everytihng up, put it on the root of my sd card. I then used zipsigner2 (from the market) to sign the .zip. Rebooted to recovery, made a back up, navigated to install the .zip from the sd card, flashed and it looked like it was working but the last line of the script simply said "installation aborted". Any help or guidance on where i'm failing here would be greatly appreciated.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gunthermic:
Whatever template zip yopu end up with, just check your ROM, some mount things differently etc. some mount ext3, some mount using busy box, some mount with certain permissions.

Another way, is to grab a mod, or theme that someone has done for your ROM you are using and then just delete out all the apps and such and use that for a base zip. Of course edit the update-script file as well.

I can upload one tonight if need be.

using something like 7Zip open a flashable zip in view. Dont extract it.

You will see at least two folders. The one you want is the Manifest folder. go through that one and find the updater-script. One will be the binary, dont edit it. the othe ris the actual script, pull it out by dragging it out and use a text editor of some type to edit it. once done, drag file right back into the 7Zip you already have open.
