Thanks for the quick reply. But that's the problem i'm having is sound settings force closes on me when I try to open it . I'll try the audio manager, any recommendations?
[Droid X General] sfreemanoh:
I'm on Apex 2 RC3, I was getting DSPManager crashes a few days ago, but that's stopped since, probably due to a reboot. I'm assuming you went directly into the sound settings to verify they're correct, or is that actually what's crashing?
[Droid X General] xsurferx:
I had some weird issues with apex as well, I could call people but couldn't actually talk to them, I couldn't find a fix or fix it myself, it seems alot of people have random issues with apex, I don't know if its the rom itself or whether the g apps package is the issue, I ended up moving on to a different rom after I couldn't fix the phone issues as obviously I need that, I wish you luck in finding a fix
[Droid X General] trm61019:
Sorry, haven't been on for a few days. But even after not installing g+, the issue has recreated itself so it looks like a titanium backup and re flash is coming tomorrow.

But to answer your question, the sounds settings is what crashes, I can't access anything within the menu.

Thanks for the replies, I'll post again if it happens after re flashing
[Droid X General] trm61019:
Update: figured it out. For some reason it changed my default ringtone and would force close when I went to sound settings, but when I selected an mp3 file and set that file as a ringtone without using sound settings to do so, it seemed to clear up all my issues. Hope this helps someone

I know my htc g2 device has a warranty sticker on the screw of the device, i was wondering if the sensation 4g has a warranty sticker on any of the screws in order to prevent you from taking your device apart or else you void your warranty.

Yes it does - to the left of the battery.

I get funny readings, sometimes fluctuating up and down

now my phone says it has 2 days 8 hours. How can this be possible wit my HD7 which has a 1230 mah battery?

how does this actually work??
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanatictentacle:
As for the battery saver function, it says right there where you activate it: Disables automatic sync with emails, etc and disables most of the background agents. I found out, that Mango is quite a battery eater, so only with the power savings ON you have battery life like on NoDo.

For the Information about how long the battery will last: You could think this is measured like on a laptop. The Device knows how much [Ampere/hours] your battery has and it knows how much Amperes you are currently draining from it. So its just math to do the rest. Thats the way it works on laptops. On my LG for instance the connector to the battery lacks of sensor circuit points. (Only 3 Points, +, - and whatever?) So I guess, that the device doesnt know the exact amount of [Ah]. It "knows" the percentage and maybe the drainage. That would explain, why its inaccurate. Its just guessing.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
BUT, it works better when you have an offical firmware for mango...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:
i have the taiwan official foirmware,,,,

it looks like battery saver turned on is draining my battery
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fanatictentacle:
I had the official unlocked beta on my LG E900. So I should have had the correct firmware ;)

Nonetheless the Battery Saver setting did work for me, with it turned on, I definitely had more battery time
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:
for some reason its draining my battery....
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Green Samot:
It works really well. Very useful to get extra time on your phone
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Are you saying your on a final release of Mango from your carrier ?

I noticed that on the Mango upgrade to via Zune (the pre-release 7712/7720), the batery saver is, ok, not a major drain but, not a major boost.

I tried one of the HTC leaked roms with the updated firmware and radio for a few days(my phone was going back for insurance replacment) and it was noticaby better, almost making my phone last another 4-6 hours in standby with it on. Battery meter was more accurate.

I think when the final is released to everyone's phone, it might be worthy.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magpir:
i am using the official firmware leaked from taiwan meant for South east asia . No doubt its official

ok i think i realised after bump charging... the cause of this could be the battery indicator/calibration....

its not accurate as htc phones only charge up to 80%...leaving 20% for overcharging compensation

and some rogue apps on home screen that arent updated to mango. could be doing a process loop thing when connections are turned off..

The new Android market was just installed here OTA. Here, in Brazil, we don't have movies features and i my opinion this new version isn't very smooth.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sprinkster:
okay.. let me start off by saying... im confused... I mean VERY confused... i wasnt expecting 10-12Mbps i was expecting maybe 4-8Mbps. consistently....

now i did a speedtest.net run on 3g.. and im getting a stable 1Mbps.. (acceptable) although i was expecting more like 2.5Mbps... and i said lets test 4g... well i switched it on... and im barely... getting 2Mbps... i got 3Mbps.. one time.. but never over that... im paying 70 bucks a month plus tax for this?????? you gotta be kidding me..

im hoping its just maybe sprints towers are down... so could anyone from NYC (im in queens ny) tell me what speeds they are getting via 3g and 4g speedtest?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockethot:
You are lucky to be getting those speeds. I'm in Maplewood, NJ and I get around 200-250kbps on 3g and 1.4mbps on 4g.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nsxla:

lol seems the closer i get to outside the higher my speeds get, i just hit 4.06 close to my window..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xenokc:
Don't use speed test apps...

Use this...

http://speakeasy.net/speedtest

I've tested many different methods against realworld downloads. Speakeasy tests WiMAX better than others, especially speedtest apps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] irev210:
yeah, a lot has to do with the server.

I like the speedtest.net server in washington DC... seems to be pretty consistent.

I think if you were expecting 2.5mbit over 3G, your expectations were a little off. 1MB is pretty average for EVDO (verizon EVDO speeds tend to hoover around that as well).

As for wimax speeds, they differ GREATLY depending on the area. Clearwire really didn't do the best job deploying the network (they were in a hurry and had limited funds).

I would wait for sprint to "correct" the wimax via network vision over the next ~6 months. You will also see 3G speeds increase in the next ~6 months as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itbmd:
I will post my results once my screen protector dries tomorrow! But on my Touch Pro2 I got anwwhere from 500kb-2MB with Sprint's 3G. I can't remember what my Photon tested at. Will report E4GT results soon for Kew Gardens and 10023.

In queens ny sprint 3g speed is normally btw 400-1.4, most the time it ill be around 700kbps. 4g speed is btw 3-7mbps. this speed is consistent with og epic throughout the pass year.

NYC

I work in midtown across the street from Penn Station... When I first got my EVO this time last year, i was getting between 8-10 MB down while tethered using Speedtest.Net. I downloaded the App and would show people at work the speeds i was getting...

Now when I run speedtest, i'm lucky if i break 2MB down. I tried the speedtest app and speakeasy.net, and the results are always very close and rarely over 2MB down. I don't know if it's increased traffic over the last year, but speeds have absolutely been tanking over the past year...

I too came from a Touch Pro 2 => Photon => SGS2. I live in Manhattan.

I get around 100-250kbps on 3G on my SGS2, around 3Mbps on WiMax.

I was appalled because i remember getting 1-2Mbps on my old Touch Pro 2. So I actually fired up my Touch Pro 2, which is still active on another line, and now it too only get 100-250kbps on 3G.

Sprint's network has just gotten crazy overloaded these days in New York. Things are going to get real ugly with all new iPhones coming online soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think 3G speeds are more important to me then 4G speeds. If 3G could be consistent at 1-2mbs I would be a pretty happy camper.

Tests I ran on 3G today were as low as 25kbs. That is a freak'n joke. Right now Sprints 3G is practically unusable depending on were you are located and I need to turn on my 4G radio to even make any use of my phone.

Screw LTE, 4G, etc! Give me some f'n 3G first!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KING SKILLZ:

Speeds are trash here on long island.....that's for sure!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
What i've noticed is that 3G speeds are very noticeably better outside of southern Queens. Around the JFK area, it's terrible but when i'm in Manhattan, it's much better.

I don't even want to post screenshots of my speedtests, they'll hurt your eyes and make you cry/weep/have diarrhea. They're that bad.

I've been with Sprint over 12 yrs, in several cities and experienced different levels/quality of service over the years and it's never been this bad really.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Well for the first time, i experienced the LoS thingie, but strangely enough it was at work (Columbus Circle area). Haven't noticed it anywhere else but only in that area.

Also i discovered that if i turn off WiFi when not connected to a WiFi network rather than leaving it on, the Android OS battery draining bug doesn't affect me anymore. Usually i leave WiFi on all the time so when i'm in range of known networks phone just connects, but apparently when NOT in range of known networks a bug keeps the WiFi radio just scanning and scanning (apparently) and draining your battery in 6-7hrs flat, at least in my case.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
The last several tests I have done have been the following:

6.34Mbps

7.03Mbps

6.16Mbps

6.39Mbps

3.69Mbps

6.45Mbps

These tests were all done on the train from Newark NJ to Union NJ. When in my office in downtown NYC I usually only get between 3-4Mbps but where I sit and my building location has a lot to do with it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bvzxa3:
We had an outtage right smack dab in our neighborhood. What is worse is someone with an iPhone 4s reported they were getting 12.2 Mbps down and that was unacceptable. I can't get a tenth of that on 3G. The radio in the E4GT is bad, and the slow speeds of Sprint make it worse. not happy with either, but I'm too stubborn to give up my E4GT. My wife and daughter have the Epic 4G. My wife rooted with Gingerbread and EF10 is pretty decent. She gts 3 Mbps, my duaghter on Froyo about the same, and outside the neighborhood about 4 Mbps for both phones, but my phone doesn't record at a Mbps at times.

That apple fanboy probably forgot to take his phone off Wifi when he speedtested it lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
I was in queens last night and the 3g speeds sucked. I was averaging less than 100 KB/s. Now that's just ridiculous. But the 4g speed was good. Only problem is 4g drains the battery hardcore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graffixnyc:
I hope 3g speeds get better. In my previous post in this thread I posted my 4g speeds but last night I was in an area with only 3g coverage and I only got .2mbps. I would get faster or just as fast speeds on tmobiles edge network. So i thought it might be the area I was in so while at home I turned 4g off and sure enough only for .2 mbps its just painful. Forget streaming anything while on 3g. Speeds are probably going to get worse too now with all the iPhone users bbut I'm hoping that sprint does something to upgrade the network(and not just to lte) I seriously wanted to just throw my phone against the wall while trying to stream a YouTube video on 3g.

I know on Sprint that using tethering does not come out of your phone's data bucket but instead wifi hotspot/tether has a seperate tethering bucket it pulls from.

Is this the same if you PAY for tethering on TMobile? Or will it use my phones bucket of data?
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
Bumped
[HTC Sensation] danperde:
You can use it for free as long you don't exceed your plan's limit. It counts against your data allowance, but if you continuously go over the limit, T-Mobile will send you a notice. And if you disregard it they will block the tethering on your phone. Now, if you buy a tethering plan, it will be separate from your phone's data plan.
[HTC Sensation] aoakes:
i'm a customer service representative, I've been working for TMOUS for the past 4 years.

Wi Fi calling, has nothing to do with your capped data package ie 200 mb/ 2GB/ 5gb/ 10gb plans.. Wifi calling feature is using your source of cable or dsl connect via wireless router.

IF you're worried you many use all your minutes, then call 611 and ask your agent to add the free unlimited wifi calling. simple.

second part, hotspot is kinda different, its tethering using the data service and yes this can cause reduced speeds. no separate bucket, just the one i mention above... keep track of your usage by dailing #963# and hit the call key.

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

my network will let you use it free for about 100 mb before, you receive a text message requesting you call tmous cs to add tether to your account per line using this feature at $15 per month. (you can't be with the 200mb plan) >

the network reads the mac address of your computer.. ipods and simple device seems to slip by without alert.
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
Oh im nlt worried about WiFi calling. I know how that works and never have to use it...

But i have the Preferred Android Web plan.. Which is basically still 5gb of data. Ive also worked for TMobile for 3yrs up until this feature was released. I now work for At&t ironically lol.

But our tethering at at&t uses different data.. So the data you use for apps and mobile web aren't touched by tethering.

It uses a separate 5gb of data for tethering so it basically it's own data plan when you pay for it that way separately.

So basically, if i pay for tethering package on TMobile im STILL using my same 5gb mobile data and not a separate 5gb tethering bucket, right???

I hope you actually get what i mean.

Thanks.
