I'm getting double the speeds that I was getting with Entropy's kernel (where he tweaked the network buffers), and before that I was getting only half of THAT speed with a stock SGH-I777 kernel! (1.4 -> 2.7 -> 5.7 Mbps roughly). No LTE announced here yet, but this radio seems better or something.

And wow - glad you took screenshots of that, otherwise the Skyrocket h8'ers wouldn't believe it. I might have just peed myself a little there. ;)

report from Baltimore...

Samsung Captivate: 1.5 Mbps down, 500 kbps up (right before I walked into the store to upgrade)

Samsung SkyRocket: 25 Mbps down, 8 Mbps up (right after I walked out of the store)

:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] randomtask16:
So I've already gotten a warning message from ATT about excessive data usage after only 2 days of having this phone lol

Looks like I'll be throttled to 256kbps soon (19 days left in my billing cycle)

I have no idea whats sucking down the data though, I haven't tethered at all, only played a few youtube vids and done speed tests (20mb each)

My online summary shows 100-200mb data sessions every hour or two, some while I'm sleeping. Kinda fishy. Monitoring usage now...

Any results in San Antonio area?

See title.

I'm thinking about exchanging my Gs2 for the Skyrocket, LTE is an important to me, so if anyone has results for the South Texas Area that'd be great to see.

I tried going to an AT&T store briefly to test the model they had there but no SIM so no LTE.

Thanks!

Hi

When i receive a sms, sometimes handcent doesn't notifiy me (no sms notification icon, no sound and no vibration), and sometimes it does. I didn't notice any special situation in which it notifies me or not.

Have you ever noticed this behaviour? Do you have a solution?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciprilik:
I am not having that problem... try looking in the Messaging app and see in the settings if the Notification for sms is checked.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordellz:
I checked the notification setting, it was activated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ciprilik:
strange .. I didn't experience your issue, I receive about 10-15 sms a day. I've just sent 5 sms from another phone to myself within 30 minutes and I received notifications for all of them. Try reflashing the rom on top the one u have first wiping cache and dalvik-cache and see if the problem persists over the next days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordellz:
I made all wipes every time i flashed roms. I have this problem since at least the first time i've used an elelinux rom, v3.1 and v3.6, i'm not sure the problem appeared before or not - before elelinux, i used original cyanogen roms, several builds of 6.1 and 7.1 roms.

However, i don't think the problem comes especially from elelinux rom because i made a test : i activated sms notifications in both handcent and original android sms program to make a test. Result : original sms program always notified me of sms reception while handcent sometimes did, sometimes didn't.

If i don't find any way to solve that problem, i'll try to find a program that only aims at notifying the user of sms reception and redirecting him to the sms program of his choice.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmararif:
it is happening due to handcent app. i had that problem it will only resolve with a clean installation of handcent app or try to reset all settings, if it didnt work use another sms app. because i have sms tone problem with handcent app sometimes it beeps sometimes it rings whatever its all handcent error now a days i have LED problem with it. try some thing else
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordellz:
Ok, i removed then installed it. Now i'll see how it behaves.

Until now, i reinstalled it from backup ((app and data) using TitaniumBackup each time i flashed a new rom.

Thank you ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ordellz:
There's no difference.

I activated notifications of both handcent and the original SMS program. The problem seems to appear with original program too. Sometimes they both notify me of sms reception, sometimes only one of both, sometimes none... :'(
[Sony Tablet S] gcwebbyuk:
I currently use MakeMKV to rip my DVDs and Blu-Rays to my media server, this works great with XBMC.

I have been able to stream these files to the tablet with fairly good success.

However, if I want to take the files with me, I encode them to MP4s using the iPad profile in Handbrake. This seems to work quite well, but some scenes stutter when there is fast movement.

Anyone have a preferred profile for the Tablet to keep as good a quality as possible?
[Sony Tablet S] fgar82:
I used h.b too and it work perfctly on my tablet s no problem at all. My pc is at my uncle house if can send me the profile names I can tell u what I used. Or if u wait till tomorrow ill pass it to u.

Its high profile under regular. And check the large file size nothing more unless u want to add some audio.. working perfctly on apple tv,. Xperia arc , tablet s and samsung gs2.

Again keep forgetting, with the profile I use ur problem will be solved I faced the same problem too so I kept trying like for aweek till I got it right.
[Sony Tablet S] gcwebbyuk:
Thanks mate.

I decided to re-encode my whole library of mkv dvd rips to the high profile mp4 setting to save space on my media pc too(hard drive prices are silly at the mo).

They are playing well on my tablet too :)

I am using the handbrake batch encoder to do a folder at a time.

I will leave my blu-ray rips as mkvs though, I just wont be able to play them on my tablet for the time being.
[Sony Tablet S] fgar82:
Plz i just tried BD encoding with HB but it stuck in 10 out of 89 and never move on, do u use other software or it really take time !! thnxxxxx
[Sony Tablet S] gcwebbyuk:
I really struggled with blu-ray encoding with HB. They always played back badly (stuttering, lip sync issues etc) on my PC. So I stuck to just ripping them as MKV files (MakeMKV) this also keeps the HD audio formats
[Sony Tablet S] fgar82:
:) i used anydvd HD to ripp the HD to make it m4v = mp4 with dolby :)

thnx
[Windows Phone 7 General] pistol44:
I know a lot of you out there are in the same boat as me. Stuck with a carrier that is suddenly receiving only the lower spec'd wave 2 models (T-Mobile). I thought I heard somewhere of a quad band Titan and Focus S that is compatible on T-Mobile and AT&T's bands..

I've been searching for any leads to the Titan or Focus S that is compatible for 3G on T-Mobile's network bands.

Has anyone heard of such a version yet and can confirm?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kwill:
The Titan is quad band so it will work on tmobile. The question is does it operate on Tmobile's 3g bands? And for that I don't think so. But could be wrong.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
I cam coming to the VIVID from the Atrix and had a couple of issues. I am living in a 4g hdspa area not LTE yet but my speeds with the VIVID were only around 82kb so I talked to ATT and they checked to see if the sim was correct and everything was ok. I then took the sim out the VIVID and put it back in the Atrix I then get over 5mb down. I then go back to ATT and they replace the phone and same issue so they issue a brand new sim and still the same issue. I am going to keep the phone for a couple of weeks to see if something changes but is anybody seeing this issue in non LTE areas. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] samomamo:
I have the skyrocket and getting worse speeds then on other 3g phones I had?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nakel:
I'm getting about 1.3 Mbs in non LTE... (Portland)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
Thanks for the post I checked with ATT and they cannot figure whats causing this problem I am guessing that somehow ATT LTE Phones are getting confused when there is not LTE in the area and somehow slowing the data down. I am not sure but hopefully will get some answers. Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
I sometimes get a couple of mb down and then it throttles back to less than a 100 kb this happened on two brand new phones
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
I was wondering could it be the APN settings are incorrect.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] celltech5333:
These phones will be either in LTE or HSPA mode and not both at once. If you see the 4G indicator without LTE under it you are on UMTS/HSPA. If you lose the 4G indicator then congratulations, you are on 2G GSM. Also note that when you make a call the mobile will drop down to UMTS/HSPA and your data speeds will be slower until it reselects back to LTE.

And all phones will have the PTA APN...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
I just ran a couple times & about 2 meg down & .9 meg up.

Sent from my beastly HTC Vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gtkansan:
Look at your build.prop file in /system what are the hsdpa and hsupa class values? Att screwed the inspire before by lowering the classes, then finally upped them. We may need to update them as well. I think hsdpa of 26 and hsupa of 7 were what the inspire needed to be faster. Mine are 12 and 6 right now. Need root to change though.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dbaser:

Mine are set at 14/6. Wonder if they throttled these phones like they did the inspire and atrix when they first came out. I've been getting 6/7 down and between .8/1.3 up. Not great but not horrible, about the same as my atrix 2 was.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
Ok the thing about this phone is that there is no 3g radios in it. You either get LTE, HSPA+ or edge. So if you are in a poor coverage area that uses mainly 3g, dont get this phone. Honestly i dont see the point of this phone if you dont live in one of the LTE cities or very near it. I live in plano and work in richardson and both those area have LTE so i havent had to resort to hspa+ yet. So moral of the story, there is no 3G on this phone...

But anyways here are my speedtest results. the low ones were in the college library with 1 bar so that didnt suprise me.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Big Dawg 23:
Please enlighten me on the No 3G bands in the phone.

Looks to me on the HTC site its all in there Edge, UMTS, GSM, HSPA+ and LTE.

http://www.htc.com/us/products/vivid-att?view=1-0&sort=0#tech-specs

Network-LTE (AWS/700), HSPA+/UMTS Tri-band (850/1900/2100MHz) and quad-band GSM/GPRS/ EDGE (850/900/1800/1900MHz)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
According to the ATT rep, the vivid will not have 3g service. Im not sure of the bands and all that but maybe the APN for it wont work. Has anybody been able to use 3g?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SysAdmNj:
Are you serious? Is this why I've been having trouble connecting to websites since yesterday? I definitely didnt have 4g signals all the time when I was on the htc inspire. It would often go to 3g, and now if this phone has no 3g then that must explain my issues. At&t really mislead customers. First they release 4g phones and barely had a 4g network. Now they release lte phones, I think you see the pattern.

I may just go to the atrix 2?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] doktor buknasty:
I thought I was the only one who had problems connecting to websites....ughh damn you AT&T.

OK... now I'm confused... 3 tests in a row... > 2mbps now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
I am willing to bet, if the phones have all of the radios for all the bands than I am guessing we could probably get this fixed once we have an unlocked bootloader and such considering I am guessing it is in the software that is blocking whatever. Just a guess that I am throwing out there. So yea don't go freaking out just quite yet is all I would say.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
3G/3.5G HSPA+/UMTS Tri-band (850/1900/2100MHz) and 2.5G GSM/GPRS/ EDGE quad-band (850/900/1800/1900MHz)

That rep is a tool. Probably one of the same reps telling grandfathered unlimited data customers that they can no longer keep their data when going to LTE capable phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SysAdmNj:
Too late, I freaked out and returned it. Being that I paid full retail price, no way I was putting up with this. Even at the store all their display models including the skyrocket were having data connection issues. As a matter of fact the sales rep told me they were aware of this and as of yesterday put a hold on selling the vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dbaser:
Try adding the wap.cingular apn and see if it works then...

I added it on mine and my speeds dropped but I'd have to drive a long way to get out of a "4G/3.5G/wtfever" area...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Put a hold on selling the vivid. That sales rep is a retard than considering Every store I have gone to is Selling the Vivid. AT&T may be aware of the issue but there is no way in hell they would put selling of a device on "Hold" considering AT&T is pretty much all about profit and could really usually care less about the consumer. Also if AT&T is aware of the issue I am going to assume they will probably sooner that later release an OTA to fix it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] donniesd:
Just give it a few days. Remember when Atrix first came out. We had these ****ty speeds but it got better. Non-att users should try this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338109

By changing the APN on our Atrix, we got way better speed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
Thanks for the share on that.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Just thought of something as well that I forgot about but I remembered cause I just went to an AT&T store. Do you have the LTE Sim Card? If not I would suggest going in and getting your older Sim swapped.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nakel:
Just adding my experience. No 3G reception... H+ areas work great, very fast. Any area my inspire had an H, not an H+ my vivid drops to edge. :(
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
h+ is 3g!!! Therefore it uses a 3g antenna. The only reason you will see edge/4g is that att wants to condition it's customers to think they are getting 4g!!!.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nakel:
Let me put it another way then. There are many areas where I could talk and get internet simultaneously on my HD2 and Inspire, many of those areas the Vivid can not do that. I get no "4G" in those areas on the Vivid, but I did get an "H" in those areas with my HD2. Without the "4G" symbol, my Vivid is slower than molasses in January, and also slower than my HD2.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Noodles5666:
That's due to the fact the the 4G symbol indicates for both 3G/H+(4G), so when you do not see 4G/4GLTE you are getting GSM/EDGE
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SysAdmNj:
Yep, thats what he said. He might've been speaking for that store. Or just throwing me some bs. Me personally have no patience, I spent $610 with the case and to experience this? Nope, last time I buy a device so new. I used to always read a bit on after a device would come out before I would jump on it but lately I've been putting faith in at&t.

@Nakel I experienced that this morning. I was on the phone and no data connection this morning, I felt like I was back on verizon. That might've been the end all for me lol. I hope this phone progresses with unlocking, dev support, and at&t getting the network working right for all its customers with lte devices regardless.

I have no problems whatsoever with my device, nothing wrong with the data. It's nice and fast, I'm still blown away. And I don't even get any LTE signal.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nakel:
OK, I'll buy that. Why could my HD2 pick up 3G in areas where my Vivid can not? Because that's what's happening. To verify, I went to an area where my Vivid dropped to Edge. I tried my HD2 with my wife's sim card, and lo and behold, 3G. (H) Good speed, talk and internet simultaneous. My Vivid at the same moment, Edge only.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] linkismyhero:
Are the HSPA speeds in this phone 14 Mbps or 21 Mbps?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
There is no 3g on this phone. I go to a 3g only area and I have edge while my other phone had3g. You can even call att and they will tell you.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
Please do some research before you spread these lies. I don't want to hear what someone at ATT told you either, we all know how reliable they are.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jason.hamilton:
How did I not do research. I referenced two ways that I researched this.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
Here-say is not research. Are you in an LTE area? If not do the speedtest app and report your results. I'm not in a LTE area and I still have terrible DL speeds, but I know it's still 3g because the upload speeds I'm getting is not possible on Edge.

edit: HSPA and HSPA+ are both 3G and you can't differentiate between the two. It runs on the same exact network. If you have a iPhone 4 and an iPhone 4S you'd still be connecting to the same tower, but the 4S would theoretically be faster if that tower had the "enhanced backhaul"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Nakel:
I know this wasn't aimed at me, but you might want to read the whole thread before you get so personal. Lots of people are reporting problems getting 3G with the Vivid where older phones do get 3G. Myself included. Look at my post above. In an area with 4 bars, my HD2 got 3G, My Vivid got Edge. I'm not sure why, or what the deal is with the distinction between H and H+ areas, if any. I do know that My Vivid does not get 3G everywhere it should. When it does, it's very fast. When it doesn't, it's very slow.

I bought a Vivid because I've been looking forward to it for quite a while. I was expecting to be impressed. I'm not dissing the phone because I'm a hater, but I am considering a Skyrocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquinn19:
I've been foloowing the whole thread as I have almost all the threads so far since there aren't many. The fact is people shouldn't offer their opinions as fact. I'm not trying to be mean, but this a forum where people come to look for solutions and info. If your offering your opinion that's one thing, but when making a statement like that you should be sure first. As you said your Vivid does get 3G at times. That's a far stretch from saying the phone does not have 3G...3G problems maybe
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] SysAdmNj:
I heard some skyrocket users are experiencing the same. According to the rep at the store, their lte servers are having problems. I swear he said that lol.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] z45123:
Thanks for all the replys

Well when I started this thread I did not realize how many responses I would receive. This issue is happening with the Skyrocket as well as with the Vivid per the att rep I spoke to. There seems to be an issue switching from LTE to HDSPA to 3g etc. What I was told that they are aware of this problem and there will be a fix. I am going to keep my Vivid because I had similar issues with my Atrix when it first came out. One more thing for all the folks saying this phone does not have 3G please read other site specs it does have 3G and that is not the issue. Thanks
