I am on a shared plan, but I think for just me, 4G data is $20/month, which guarantees 4G speeds up to 2GB of usage, then it starts throttling. I did check my usage, I'm under 1GB.

Checked my RIL against the RIL thread that's stickied in the dev forum, I have 2.2.1073HMQ, which is matched to the 10.58 radio that I currently have. So it can't be an RIL issue.

I also tested the speed of the data connection through a wifi hotspot on my computer. I still only got about 2 mbps on the computer, maybe 2.5, don't remember exactly. Definitely under 3 though, which is unacceptable. I think I'm going to call t-mobile, because I'm supposed to be in a 4G coverage area. But on top of that, my wifi speeds suck as well, which tells me it's not just network coverage, it's something to do with the wireless chipset, something isn't working correctly. I think I should be able to except AT LEAST equivalent speeds to my old 3G slide.

Verizon FIOS @ $100/mo gets you 25/25 fiber to the house, phone, and a few hundred channels of hi def TV. Wireless router included gets up to 20 MBps to the phone.

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
So I called t-mobile, the first guy said he thought I knew what I was talking about and had tried everything that he had ideas for, so he sent me to tier 2 support, and that guy told me that it was probably something faulty in either the back of the phone (antenna) or the radio controller. He thought my wifi and cell speed issues were related. Since I got the phone at costco he suggested I try to do an exchange through them since I'd get a new device in exchange instead of a refurbished one. I'm going to end up going that route.

So here's my question now, once I get the new replacement phone, since it's the same phone, is it possible to take a nandroid of my current phone how it is and then restore it after I root and get s-off? Or would that not work since the phones would have different serials and IMEI's? It would be so much easier if I could just nandroid restore after I s-off, root, and get clockwork.

Alright, I'll try it, no harm really, worst thing I can get is a bootloop :rolleyes: I'll just make sure and back up my apps beforehand just in case it doesn't work. I'm going back on Friday to try and get a replacement, so I'll report back then.

alot of 3g networks i noticed cap at 1.75megs down and 1.50-1.75 up and since the sensation wont tell us if we have 3g or not and list 4g as anything above edge it's just kinda hit or miss when u actually do have 4G but from my house right now i'm getting 1.75 down and if i go to the others ide of town i get 9.xx down (rarely over 10 though sadly)
[HTC Sensation] Gunkk:
My phone reports 2g, 3g and 4g. I can see the difference in data rate between the three.

The phone idles in "3g" even when near a 4g tower for power savings.

Sent from my Bricked Energy ROM Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Yeah, only sense roms don't differentiate between 3g and hspa. I've tried in different cell towers where I'm supposed to have full 4g, and I don't. I have maybe 2.5 mbps, most of the time 2 or below. I'm exchanging my phone Friday at Costco so hopefully the new one is different and I don't get one with the stupid ssharp screen. I like this Acer one better.

Sent from my Sensation
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
Oh damn wait a minute. I just tested it again and it was at its usual horrible speed,and then all of the sudden sped up to 6 mbps about, 2.25 mbps upload. Why did it just speed up? Ill keep testing it but my wifi reception still sucks and most of the time my speed sucks, in full 4g areas.

I think I'm still gonna exchange it because its more often bad. This is the first exception and the T-Mobile Rep said I should be getting better and he thought wifi issues were related. So I'm probably still going to exchange the phone.

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
So I got the phone replaced, I now get full wifi signal (or at least nearly full) from across the house and even sometimes pick up the neighbor's wifi across the street. Network speeds have been consistently better. Looks like my problem's fixed.

Haha you Americans are so bloody lucky!

If I had speeds like the OP was quoting in the first post I would be laughing :D

Here in England, I get that little H sign (I think that is HSDPA) and with that AT THE TOP SPEED, I get a download speed of 2.5~mb/sec.

Normally it hovers around 1.5, and trust me, this is considered FAST over here. As most phones stick with crappy 3G! :rolleyes:

Congrats. Truly as this was/is a bother for me as well. May do the same but appreciate the progress timeline.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
I was JUST able to get into MIUI and now I'm loving it. However, the battery life seems horrible compared to CM7. I froze the stock launcher and I'm using ADW, but still. Am I the only one here that has this problem? Any solution?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Definitely not normal for miui, which has some of the best battery life on aosp. I get about 72 hours with moderate use and extended battery. Run a 'dumpsys power' command from a terminal and check for wake locks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Permission Denial: can't dump PowerManager from from pid=3526, uid=10049

What's this mean... lol

I downloaded Juice Defender in hopes that it will help out, but I'd rather not have to use it. It messes with the connection settings too much.

UGHHHH. What do...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Type su before running that command.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
yep, get su permission first. Sorry, should have mentioned that.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Now it just says "permission denied."

What will this command even do once I run it successfully (if I even can)?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Did you run them as separate commands?

-first command: 'su'

-it will request su permissions- hit allow

-second command 'dumpsys power'

-scroll down to mLock and wakelock. values should = 0.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Yep, the values are 0. But still, the battery is going like crazy. Is there anything else I can try besides JuiceDefender? I don't wanna go back to CM7 :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
What kernel are you using? The default bundled with miui is from CM7 i believe. I use Tiamat kernels (1.1.3, ATM). Also check what's using your battery under settings>system>battery>battery usage. It doesn't monitor by default, so you may have to enable it and check back in 24 hours. There's still (i think) a glitch that only shows display as 2% of total, but you can still get an idea if a certain program is at the top of the list, it might be to blame. I'll help if i can.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
If the kernel for MIUI is the same as CM7, then that's the one I am using. Is the one that you use any better? I looked in one of the stickied threads here but I wasn't able to find any kernel downloads.

Cell standby is using 35%

Android system is using 30%

Phone idle is using 26%

Voice calls is using 5%

Media Server is using 2%

Display is using 2%

And the rest is just a bunch of apps that are using 1%
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mySStery_machine:
I use Tiamat 1.1.3 and use the 2x battery app from the market. It really helped and my battery (stock) is holding up pretty well. I did also recalibrate the battery as well once loading the new kernel.

I root cars too!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
What are the benefits of using Tiamat over the kernel from CM7 and where can I download it? Is 2x Battery better than JuiceDefender? Also, how do I recalibrate the battery?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mySStery_machine:
2x Battery is very quick to switch and not at all invasive like Juice felt. Just search battery calibration app in the market and use it. Green Android guy icon with a percentage symbol on it. Here is the link for the kernel: http://tiamat-dev.com/tiamat_inc2/

I root cars too!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
So I just flash this in Clockwork or what?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Yes. Just flash via clockwork. You're gonna wanna clear dalvik cache before you flash.

Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Crap I already flashed. Should I do that and then reflash? Also, what are the differences with this kernel besides battery life? It seems slower...

It could just be my imagination.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
You might wanna go clear dalvik and reflash. Just going by what I was told before. So just to be on the safe side, I'd go do that.

Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Alright, all done with that. Now I'm gonna fully charge my battery and try to recalibrate it. Let's see how this goes. haha
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mySStery_machine:
Slower? I would say no. Are you using SetCPU at all for OC or UC?

I root cars too!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
No, I have never touched an overclocking app. I've always left things how they were. Never overclocked unless it was against my will (i.e.: installing a new kernel).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I use juicedefender & jd's nightly kernal. Also, I have it OC to 1.5mhz. In setcpu, I have it set to powersaver.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Since I flash kernels weekly (since miui overwrites kernel with every friday update) i use Kernel Manager from the market now. I just got tired of finding, downloading, booting to cwm, wiping, animal sacrificing, flashing, rebooting, etc. every week. It does it mainly for you. Normally I'd discourage users from using something that just "does it for you", (how else do you learn for yourself?) but when it's just a time saver, it's worth it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Unless the features are significant, I don't plan on updating every week. And even if I did, I don't care so much. All I need to do after I update is flash the kernel, flash my keyboard mod, and move the Google Search APK to /system/app. It takes about 10 minutes.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Wow, this battery recalibration thing can take forever. I need to wait for it to die on it's own? Or can I use it normally? Damn...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
You just use it until it dies, and then charge it.

Sent from my rooted MIUI Dinc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jason2302:
Thanks :)

One last thing I'm worried about is that after I cleared the battery stats and rebooted, the battery was at 96 instead of 100 or 99. It's always something that has to go wrong :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
It does that. It did that for me. And even to the guy on the video I watched on how to do it.

drop the oc kernel and replace with faux enhanced 2.0 1 ghz , setcpu only controls one core at the moment , faux has alittle more work to do on his kernal to get full control of 2nd core so it's not runing at 1300 and burning up battery power

homebase 3.4, update 5.4a , faux enhanced 2.0 1 ghz kernel . battery last for 2 days + 20% left

use setcpu , set up profiles, underclock the profiles

task manager, add most of the apps to auto end list

Battery Life

I had the same problem recently, especially with Faux's 2.0 kernel @ 1.1ghz(1.9 had better battery life :/). Even with Juice Defender(the saint of batter life) I was only getting like 16 hours. My first suggestion is to use 1ghz for standard use, and to create a CPU profile which drops clock speed to 216mhz when screen is off. The difference between 1.1ghz and 1ghz with me was 80% after 12 hours compared to 30%. As I mentioned before, if you're rooted, get JuiceDefender. It has typically gets me 1.4x-1.5x the battery life. That is, even in you're sad case, 6 hours of extra life. Finally, kill Facebook and Browser when you're not using them, they seem to kill battery life.
[Atrix 4G General] DavidNL:

I installed the release version of Mango today, and all of the apps that would take advantage of the compass report there is no compass. When I run the diagnosis tool, I can see there's a compass (not particularly accurate, but it's there). Is this expected? I thought with Mango the support for the compass API would be in.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The diagnosis tool is from Samsung, and has always had support for the compass. If other apps are reporting that no compass is present, it means you didn't get the latest Samsung firmware when you upgraded to Mango.

The easiest way to test it is the Compass 7 app. I have that on my Focus, and it works fine. The implementation of the app is non-intuitive (the needle moves around a stationary compass to indicate your current heading, rather than pointing to north).
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
Sadness. My phone doesn't work with Compass 7, and now I have no idea why I didn't get the firmware or what to do about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
The first thing I would try is to restore NoDo on your phone and go through the update again. During the Mango update, the information block should note that the Samsung update is bundled with it (at the bottom of the block of text).

BTW, did you use the disconnect trick, or did you receive the update notice?
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
I used the disconnect trick. I can easily go back to Nodo and just wait for it to update me without the disconnect trick if you think that'll make a difference.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It is a tough call. I wouldn't want to give up Mango after seeing how much it adds to my phone, but it realistically it shouldn't be more than a week or two until you get the notice. The problem is, I just don't see how the disconnect trick could explain what happened to you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Focus Rev 1.3

My ATT Focus was updated to Mango and I have the compass enabled, using Compass 7. As a poster mentioned, it is counter intuitive but it works. When I upgraded from 7390, I forced the update using the disconnect method and got all of the updates, including one defined as Samsung (the final one). Worked for me.

did the samsung update change your firmware version?

if so, which versions you had before the update and now?

how many fps you get on the speed reading test?

thanks

i can install compass 7 but its not pointing north, i have the compass option on the diagnosis menu, the X,Y,Z values change, but the compass doesnt.... is this normal?
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
I have a vague suspicion that I unbranded my phone in the past to get NoDo. Sadly, I'm having trouble remembering exactly what I did, and forum search is currently down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
I'm fairly confident the Samsung Focus / Omnia 7 doesn't have a compass.

From my own testing, any Mango compass APIs are reporting are inaccurate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
My Focus most definitely has a compass. Even before Mango the Samsung Diagnosis app contained a test menu that had a compass selection, and it worked very accurately. And since Mango, I have tried three different Mango-specific compass apps from the marketplace, and all of them correctly pointed north.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fed44:
Set HKLM/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo/MobileOperator to "000-88" without quotes of course. You possibly unbranded it and set it to empty which won't work. Also try the network pull trick.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
I'd like to, but my device became locked after I did the registry change and upgraded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
So I popped an old rom onto the Focus to take me back to NoDo unbranded, and then did all the upgrades again. I FINALLY got the Samsung firmware upgrade that came out around NoDo, and sure enough my navigation now works. I've also noticed (though without much sampling) that my Bluetooth audio to my car no longer occasionally cuts out. I'm curious if I'll see other improvements, but I'm delighted so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
This is an issue for my Focus. The compasses in the market don't work worth a flip. The needle barely moves and never points in the proper direction.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jake2046:
weird....Kitendo Lab Compass works just fine but Outdoor Navigation said it can not use the digital compass chip at this moment.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Outdoor Navigation still hasn't been updated to Mango, so it can't use the compass.

i finally got my focus working as a compass

i have a focus rev 1.3 with all of the updates

os 7.10.7720.68

firmware 2103.11.8.1

and the compass just did not work.

in the Samsung diag i did not see any numbers moving and none of the app i loaded would calibrate or work at all.

i finally did a help chat with Samsung and they did not have much helpful to say, but they had me remove the battery for a little while and the boot the phone again. and after that i could see that the compass was working, although very out of calibration. it took a while to get the movements right to calibrate it, but now it seems to be working with several compass app i have tried.

i hope this helps. i was very frustrated for a couple of weeks until i got it working about half an hour ago.
