[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lamlux:
I was curious when the 4S came out, and ran speed tests on both phones in the same spot, vs. my GSII, the 4S with full bar managed 1.3mb/sec consistently and my GSII managed 1.9mb/sec consistently, with 2-3 bar..

With full signal i've been able to manage 2.9mb/sec at times...! crazy. I don't care if its 4G 5G 3G, it's fast.

Both great speeds for how long we've waited for these devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knotphunnie:
I've gotten 25.?? speeds in Atlanta on my sII. Just fantastic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
25 wow That's really good. here in nyc I've been getting around 12mbps. i do not know if this is a 42mbps network out here but id be surprised if it wasn't... Probably just very congested.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Longcat14:
Not only does my Vivid destroy your SGS II's speedtest, it does it in style... and 1 bar of LTE. :)

Just joking guys. <3

But even Sprint's 3G network could beat AT&T's HSPA+ network... not really, but it's funny to say that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markatl84:
I am getting an average of 10-12mbps here in Atlanta but in many areas I am getting 18-25 mbps consistently even during peak hours. The new network and this phone are amazing. Who woulda believed we would be seeing speeds like this so soon? Especially how late t mob got 3g

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jaekidd1012:
I'm no expert on this but I would guess that since T-Mobile's network isn't as congested as AT&T's we would see slightly better speeds.

That aside, I see anywhere from 12 Mbps to 23 Mbps on a good day here in NYC.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
I'm happy to see T-Mobile is keeping up with increasing data demand.

In Las Vegas there are a lot of users, but the cell sites don't all have the backhaul needed for the fastest HSPA+ speeds, however I still get 6Mbps at LVAC during peak hours on my GS2 which before was a longshot in the dark.. they did add a new 3G tower next to the gym tho that was EDGE only.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lakeshow423:
That's impressive :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
It really isn't, AT&T's network has no subscribers on it, and they are throttling their connections (at 2GB if I recall) already.

that is dumb, you are comparing AT&T's 3G vs T-mobiles 4G

You could get the T-Mobile Sonic 4G Hotspot, it has the same speeds as our GS2. Just a thought.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
I was just going to point that out. Check this out. It is a 42Mbps device and can connect multiple users. Plus has a microSD slot capable of up to a 32Gb card. Would be like have a small shared drive to swap files between devices.

I see no problem with someone being happy that the phone they chose to purchase is better is some aspect than the other leading phone out there, and wanting to share that information. I also don't see this as a hate thread. It is more of a comparison of data rates between 2 phones. This is, after all, a phone forum!

I say post away with whatever you want to share! Especially since it's in the General section.

while my T Mobile phone runs at 9mbps.

I greatly enjoy my speeds.

Well you know not a lot of people are on lte for at&t. It is like verzion lte it was fast till majority of the users got on the lte network.

When I posted this it wasn't meant to hate on the iPhone even though I greatly despise it. I personally think to each their own but you will NEVER get me to use ANY apple product, let alone an iPhone, again just my personal preference. I posted this thread to show that even though people hate on Tmobile and they think the iPhone is God, there are greater things out there, case in point, the commercials Allgamer linked to. That really is how it is whenever I walk by the apple store here in Colorado. Even my father who has been using an iPhone since the first launch has said he is both jealous of our phone and of our speed. I never meant to offend anyone or step on any toes. I just thought it was funny how bad our speed embarrassed AT&T on their supposed "best phone" they sell according to most AT&T users.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MisterEdF:
My T989 is unlocked and I used it on AT&T for a couple weeks before I switched to T-Mobile.

Comparing the same device on both services:

I live in the NYC/Metro area

On AT&T (with the proper APN) I was getting on average around 1.5MBps down/.5up with pings usually 200ms-2,000ms. On VERY rare occasion I would see 5MBps with pings of close to 3,000ms which made the 5MBps pretty much useless. This was the same as what I got on an iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and a number of other AT&T Android devices on AT&T including the I777 GS2.

As soon as I put in the T-Mo sim with the proper APN (I'm on the $30 prepaid pseudo unlimited data, text plan) my speeds went nuts and my pings went down. I consistently get around 10MBps down with pings around 30ms. I have seen as high as 14MBps and the lowest I have seen was around 6MBps.

This compares the same hardware on both carriers. In my area (northern NJ) ATT data is horrid no matter what device it is on. For me it didn't matter what phone it was, the problem was the carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
Ha ha, just noticed your Location. Used to live in Parker! Moved to Phoenix in May last year for a job promotion/transfer. Buddy of mine lives in Elizabeth. Still fly our a couple times a year to visit, drink and smoke cigars!!! Be there in January!

That aside, I agree. Life is comparing what you are using to the guy next to you. As long as your post doesn't say, "Ha ha, look at the POS Apple. Apple's suck! All Crapples go to h**l!" Then it's not hating. Just comparing. Don't let other ruin it for you!

Nice speeds!!! How's the battery life on LTE? Friend of mine here has the Thunderbolt on LTE, her phone drains FAST? I figured it was the LTE but it could just be the phone.
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
I have this crazy issue with my D2G. I have had a similar issue in the past with all my android phones. It was worst with my SG2. It has not really been an issue up to now with my D2G but it is getting worse.

What happens?

When I call certain numbers there is no Audio in either direction, the call timer counts up and the call is in progress, just no sound in either direction. If the affected number calls me back, the same thing happens.

Which numbers are affected?

Only other mobile numbers. Always the same numbers. Always the same result. It was just an occasional mobile number, perhaps one in a hundred, but in the last couple of days BOTH of my gfs numbers are doing this and she has 2 separate numbers one attached to a D2G and one on a Samsung flip phone.

What have I tried?

Switch between Clean stock Froyo & Stock Gingerbread. Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache. Power Off Phone. Pull Battery. Nothing makes any difference.

If I pull my SIM from my D2G and place it in any other phone, the SAME thing still happens! If I swap the SIMS between 2 affected phones and try, it still happens.

**If I pull the SIM from my D2G and place it in an old Hermes I have lying around calls work perfectly in both directions.**

What works?

Calls to all landlines and most mobiles. Calling a number from the phone using GV or Skype.

Is there any pattern to the destination numbers?

Affected phones are all different brands and carriers, no pattern identified.

Thoughts so far:

It can not be the SIM card as it works in some phones.

It can not be the System version or Radio Firmware version as I get the same issue with Gingerbread and Froyo.

It can not be the cache or any settings specific to my phone.

One of the phones must be an android device.

***Ok, in testing now I just found the problem. If I have the phone set to UTMS then there is no Audio if the other phone is also a UTMS device, but it works fine if the other phone is GSM. If I have the phone set to GSM all calls work all the time to all devices.

The issue is calls between UTMS phones.

At least now I know i can always make/receive calls if I select GSM, I still want to find a solution though.

I am on the Telstra 850Mhz UTMS network in Australia.
[Droid 2 Global General] TheWolfen:
I have had the exact same problem with 3 D2Gs. My first phone started after the last Verizon update to GB. That phone was replaced to to a failed dust seal and the first replacement had a failed BT chip. My third phone is now having the same problem, sadly. Of course I'm on Verizon on CDMA. Wish I knew what it was!!
[Droid 2 Global General] BrasilNut:
Intermittent No Sound

I have a friend also with a Droid 2 Global

with this same issue.

Seems like leaving Bluetooth turned off altogether

has resolved this issue.

Seems like some sort of confusion when audio is

directed - perhaps audio is intermittently directed to

bluetooth when it should not be...

Any other info suggestions out there ?
[Droid 2 Global General] RustyMongoose:
Try using ShakeCall from the Market.

It should fix the "silent bug call".

It worked for me and rarely happens. Hope that works.
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
Please read the detailed post I made and don't post unless you understand what it implies. If you are having no sound problems because you have the volume turned down or mute enabled or you have a bluetooth bug, this has nothing to do with the issue that I have.

I have some kind of low level issue, my guess is that it is something to do with the codec selection based on the network transport type. The fact that the issue is there between 2 phones, then just changing to new Sim cards to identical carrier cards with different phone numbers, removes the issue suggests that the network is storing some information about the numbers. The fact that switching the D2G to GSM makes it work, suggests that the GSM codec is not affected.

I have my phone in GSM mode and now I can make and send all calls, but my data is so slow.

Is there a way I can force the phone to use a specific codec and stay on UTMS?
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
Ok, so I suspect it is the codec.

I found how to access the programming menu

On the phone's dail pad, enter:

##PROGRAM

Passcode is 000000

Most of the settings are for CDMA, under Test I can change the codec, I'll try some tests.

If anyone knows how to change the default codec let me know!
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
OK, I found the instructions on Droid Forums..

Pull up the dialer on your phone

Dial ##PROGRAM (##7764726)

Hit Send (the call button)

The password is 000000 (six zeros)

Select "Option 6 - Test Mode"

Hit "Next" until you come to the "Field test screen"

Under "Service Option" (top most), select EVRC-B

Hit "Back"

The phone should then reboot and you'll be all set.
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
OK, it seems all these settings are for CDMA, I can't find a way to access the GSM settings yet.
[Droid 2 Global General] TheWolfen:
Thanks, mactherapy! I've made this change and will report back on whether it helps or not. Good find!! Too bad it won't help you, though.
[Droid 2 Global General] TheWolfen:
Well... so far the problem hasn't happened again. This is starting to look promising!!!
[Droid 2 Global General] mohoho:
Thanks. This works on Droid 3 as well.
[Droid 2 Global General] bandario:
I have recently started having this exact same problem on telstra and it is driving me absolutely insane!

If anybody has ANY idea how to fix it on GSM/UTMS please let us all know.
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
Ok, I am still working on this issue. I figure that if there is some way of changing the default UTMS codec to be the same as the GSM that might work. I am still trying to find the setting for this. However I was looking through the build.prop and I found some settings that seem to have an effect on other issues that I notice.

If you edit build.prop and change the line

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1

to

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0

then reboot the phone

The phone behaves slightly differently, the signal strength indicators are more accurate for a start.

Also from what I can see the following options are set to Verizon defaults and are only useful for people on the USA and so should be changed for overseas users..

ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0

ro.cdma.home.operator.isnam=0

ro.telephony.default_network= (set to 7 for global, change to 3 for Gsm/UMTS or 4 for CDMA only)

ro.cdma.nbpcd

keygaurd.no_require_sim=false
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
These have been discussed a few times (especially .vzwglobalphone).

.gsm-routes-us-smsc is only applicable for Vodafone NL users; for all other carriers, SMS routing is done via local carrier's SMSC.

.default_network doesn't matter at all; it determines the mode the phone starts after a factory reset.
[Droid 2 Global General] tjikko:
Hey there,

Through the search forum feature I found this issue,

My phone started to do it too, i'm using GSM/UMTS, I've been using the phone since last august and untill 2 weeks ago I didn't have problems.

What I tried was>

Change simcard,

change carrier,

I was on 2.3 I SBF back to 2.2

all without succes.

I only can call one mobile number properly all others are silen,t mobile and landlines alike.

Has there been more succes to get closer to resolve this? I don't mind helping finding it.

I love my D2G and i would get separation problems if I need to change phone ;)
[Droid 2 Global General] bandario:
In the end there was nothing anybody could do.

Fault finders at my network provider were just as stumped as me. No amount of reflashing would change anything, the handset was cursed.

I ended up having to give up on it.
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
The problem continues to get worse. More and more numbers get no audio either when they call me or when I call them. It only happens on the WCDMA 850mhz Telstra network.

The phone behaves normally on any other network or on the GSM Telstra network.

Re-flashing the phone with Miui or CM7 or CM9 or any of the official Motorola firmware's makes no difference. It is a truly crazy problem.

I am going to buy another android phone from Telstra and see if that behaves normally with my sim card. A non android phone I have behaves normally.

The behaviour is still the same, if I am on 3G WCDMA 850mhz on the Telstra network, someone calls me or I call them, it shows the call is connected, neither of us gets any audio, no hash, just silence. Rebooting the phone, changing the rom, factory resets, changing the Telstra SIM, nothing makes any difference. Switch to GSM only and suddenly the issue goes away.

My GF also has a D2G and has exactly the same issue and it is getting worse for her too.

I am guessing that the network is storing something like the phones IMEI on the WCDMA network and then forcing an incompatible audio codec. I don't know enough about the operation of the network to be able to prove anything.

I would like to find some way to force or change the audio codec that gets used when I make calls, is there any way to see what the phone is using for each call?
[Droid 2 Global General] mactherapy:
Ok, another update. I have been doing some more testing. I have discovered that DTMF tones go through to a non Android Telstra phone . Any key presses on the D2G can be heard as DTMF tones on the other phone. DTMF tones do not register on the D2G.

Between two D2G phones on the 850mhz wcdma network there is no audio in either direction and the DTMF tones do not come through either.

As usual switch either phone to GSM and everything works perfectly again.
[Droid 2 Global General] bandario:
Right, here we go.

I got a call back a couple of days ago from a tel$tra tech.

This was a long time coming and I have since stopped using the phone altogether anyway.

Basically what you need to do is call telstra tech support and go through the Indian rigmarole with technical support.

These guys will eventually escalate your problem and an Australian tech will call you back.

This person too will be completely useless but do not give up hope.

What you need to do is this: gather data.

Sit down with an internet clock in front of you and log a series of phone calls to numbers that you know the fault exists with and record the details of each failed, no-volume call and weather it was incoming or outgoing, duration of call, type of handsets connected etc etc.

Even though I have given up on the D2G on telstra and moved on, the tech assured me that he would have been able to help with this issue as he had seen it before.
[Droid 2 Global General] tjikko:
Long time no post, but I found something (I think atleast)

The no sound error occurred only when I make call over the 3G UMTS netwerk. When I forced my Droid on GSM only it worked again.

Has anyone tried this too?

My carrier (KPN Netherlands) has introduced "HD Voice" for it's voice calls over the UMTS netwerk.

Might this be something? Because my Droid started to get the problem around the time the pilot of "HD Voice" was rolled out.
[Droid 2 Global General] chami2008:
My D2G is also giving similar problem

I have an unlocked D2G. in Global mode. ( Android 2.3.4)

Mine started a similar issue.

No voice in either direction.

Happens intermittently.

No difference lo land lines or mobiles.

Yet Skype and data works fine.

I use on the Dialog network in Sri Lanka. ( GSM 3G network )
[Droid 2 Global General] kew1701:
mine started to do the same,i downgraded,upgraded, tried tbh unlock,custom roms,but nothing works. funny is that i have silence on outgoing call on 2g network,incoming calls are fine.on 3g network works ok,but signal is awfull(t-mobile,CRO).

This and wifi on/off problem turned my d2g into piece of cr*p,wondering if any new OTA update comes ,it will bring function that phone cannot power from power button or such.

[Droid 2 Global General] rahm0809:
Solution for DTMF over GSM

OK, so i was trying many things and then suddenly found a solution for DTMF dialing. If you are using the GMS of D2G, just set your phone to GSM only and also use 2G. Some how on 3G it can't dial the dtmf. Try it and let me know. I am able to call the ATT conference number in 2G.

Maybe someone should look at how the calls are being made on both frequency and have a fix.

Great price!

Reading a few reviews, people said they had problems with it staying propped up. Has anybody had experience (good or bad) with this? I'm very interested in the case, but it won't be too useful if its not functional as a stand as well.
[Xoom Accessories] rossvtaylor:
Hi Terrypearson,

I've been using the Motorola portfolio case since I got my Xoom and I've not had any problems with its functionality as a stand. I just finished a series of long flights and I used the case in either of its two stand positions, on the seat tray, without problem despite some turbulence. True, the Xoom doesn't "lock" into place in this case but I've not had any problems with it falling over or slipping out of standing position.

The only two issues I had with the case were easy to rectify. First, I cut off the two little friction "nibs" which hold the bottom section of the case to the Xoom. I think you'll see what I mean when you get the case - those little "nibs" aren't required and make folding the case/cover back much easier. Second, I melted a hole in the case (at the fold) over the location of the charging port hole so that I can plug in my charger while the case is closed.
