So if Edge is 3G = 1.6/.5 which always shows on my phone as a E

HSDPA+ is the 4G 14.4/ 5.76 which always shows on my phone as 4G

What the heck is 2G and what signal is that? UMTS! is it able to do data?

Also is there another 4g signal that our phones pick up? Like HSPA+ where available and if so what sym show up on your phones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mettleh3d:
Well, this is not really a trick, its always been in settings and thankfully so. I go on EDGE when i know i'll be away from a charger for awhile, just being on 4G wipes battery out from the simplest tasks like syncing mail and using GChat.

Riding on EDGE will almost certainly double your battery life at the cost of network speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SIISuperUserIIS:
Pretty much. In my area my phone always connected to the 3G band instead of the 4G on the auto gsm + wcdma. All I had to do was select wcdma which is faster, but the phone would disconnect from the network and would be searching for a while to get a connection. Then just switch it back from auto and you would get edge instead of 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mbernusg:
The GSM setting is only 2g.. wcdma is our hspa

OP is getting the readers a bit confused with the terms.

first of all, edge is not 3g. edge is way slower than 3g. and our hercubeast have hsdpa which theoretically can go as high as 42mbps. the skyrocket has lte, and if you check their section for speedtests, you can see some hitting 50mbps+ downspeed. hella crazy imo.

and true 4g is 100mbps. these networks just got something better than 3g and started calling it 4g. it shouldve been called 3.5g or at least actual term of the technology.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jdanisevich:
Why is this thread under development?

You're right about EDGE not being 3G, it's not even close. EDGE has been around since the Sidekick reigned supreme. You're wrong about HSDPA though, that's actually 3G. HSPA+ is our "4G". Also, AT&T uses HSPA+ for their 4G network too, that's half the reason they claimed to be attempting to acquire T-Mo. Both networks are classified as LTE.

Now this thread seriously needs to be moved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SIISuperUserIIS:
Yeah I tried moving it after I found out I posted it under Android Development instead of General. -_-... I think a mod needs to do it for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pregistry:
I work for TMobile. The definition of 4G is simply the 4th Generation speed rating. I've achieved 44,444Kbps with my S2. To say that's not truly a 4G speed is ignorance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
So why do some stickers say 3G and some say 4G? Shouldn't they all say 4G.

Just curious.

Powered by the SGSII....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] King_Paladin:
see, even i got confused after reading some info in here. yeah, hspa+ is our phones feature that goes up to 42mbps, while the other regular t-mo phones with hspa (not hspa+) can only do 21mbps.

oh, heres an example of at&t's skyrocket lte speed. not everybody there have that speed but others do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pregistry:
Some phones are not hardware capable on what's classified as 4G speeds and that's what Tmobile classifies as 3G. The new phones like the amaze and s2 have the new hardware capable of the 42mbps.

I bought a extended battery awhile ago for my samsung fascinate. It worked great and charged just fine. Now when I try to use it in my samsung epic it works but will not charge at all says its charging for a second then stops. Any ideas. I tried google but nobody has said how they got them to work.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
It should work with no problem. Sounds like it went bad.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
It seems like it didn't. I can pop it in my fascinate and it will charge fine
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Supposed to be the same battery. Are the fingers in your phone bent any? Are you using the same charger for both?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
Ya I checked that the prongs were all lined up and everything. If I charge it in my fassy and put it in my epic it will work fine but it won't charge. I used the same charger and then a couple different ones but still no luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Does your stock battery still charge OK?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
Yes my stock still charges just fine
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
I am at a loss at this point. I wonder if clearing your battery stats would help any. Are you rooted with CWM?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HorreC:
Try in CWM

I wonder if you get a charging at all when the power is off? also what does it say if you are in CMW when you look it up? If that doesnt work maybe try resetting the statistics I dont think that will do anything but it might reset something we dont know that is happening in that smart battery.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
Yes I'm rooted I have the latest cwm. I'm starting to wonder if its my kernal. I'm running the samuri kernal which is up to date. Eh mabey my epic just hates extended batterys. I haven't had a chance to check it threw cwm ill give that a try when I get off work in a few hours.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Put in the battery fully charged and boot directly into CWM and go to advanced and clear battery stats.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezie42:
Well I tried clearing the battery stats and still nothing. It just discharges. I look in the about phone status and it says not charging. So I guess ill just try something else. Could it be the kernal mabey the samuri kernal does not support third party batteries.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jourdans:
How do we submit our game to xperia play game launcher? do I need to just put a 'xperia play optimized' tag on my game description and it will be added automatically?

Need help here :D

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
Put:

<meta-data android:name="xperiaplayoptimized_content" android:resource="@drawable/icon" />

in your AndroidManifest.xml (before </application>) for a game to show up in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher

...and "Xperia PLAY Optimized" somewhere in the description for it to be searchable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jourdans:
Thanks for the information. That would be very useful.

So the game submission is fully automatic?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
You can pay a small fee to have your game advertised in the "More Games" tab of the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... but that really doesn't seem to be worth it IMO since it's not even permanent.

The major things are to make sure it shows up in the Game Launcher's main tab, and that it's easy to find ... and those are both things you can do yourself.

HTC Rezound, Sensation XL/XE Amaze 4G with Beats audio mod...
[General Questions and Answers] amazongurl:
Whenever I try to use the camera on my rooted Evo 4G I just get a black screen and have to press the home key to get out of it. My ex-boyfriend put a new ROM on the phone about a month ago then put a kernel on it a couple days later because the buttons were freaking out (randomly clicking, freezing up, etc). The rest of the ROM is working great, just can't get the camera to load. I've tried rebooting the phone and leaving the battery out for over 20 minutes (I've read that that fixed the issue for some people) but don't know what else to do. I'd really like to avoid doing a factory reset so I don't lose everything (if there's a way to avoid this I'd love to know). With 'ex' being the very, very operative word in ex-boyfriend, I would really appreciate some help with this as I can't have him fix it like I normally would. Thanks so much!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rbellis:
Since the only keys are the N and the volume on the Tablet....is there any way to access the options in the apps that are ran to change the settings? I am getting a Tablet next week (cannot fraking wait!) and just realized this. Has this been a problem for anyone else?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flamingsamurai:
It's no problem, there are soft keys at the bottom of the screen which come up contextually so you can go back or access the menus.

Alternatively you can use button saviour and have the buttons all the time. You'll be happy with the tablet :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reverenddak:
I found that Button Savior is not necessary. The Back and Menu buttons come up in the status bar when they're available.

I use Homecatcher to access Go Launcher EX and installed Nook Color App Manager to install frequently used apps on the stock Home screen.

I've been VERY HAPPY with my Nook Tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flamingsamurai:
Button saviour is good for when your using full screen apps and want to access the menu. Like watching a video on MX player or reading in certain apps. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Rick-S:
Can App Manger be installed on a non-rooted device? I would like to use that app but I haven't been able to find the apk for download. Everyplace wants me to get it from the android marketplace.

[General Questions and Answers] Faholo:
Hello all I'm new to XDA but I have use many of the guides!

Today I used the tweaking for changing the interval of wifi searching

adb shell sed -i '$a\wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180' /system/build.prop

But when putting it to 180 my phone keeps switching to 2g/3g after a min or so until the next wifi scan..

this happens in my home, theres a weak wifi connection in my room I'm guessing thats why..

So I was wondering does anyone know a recommended interval? so that it updates enough but doesn't drain battery life like crazy?

atm I have put it to 20
[General Questions and Answers] Faholo:
Lol, I know how to add stuff into build.prop but don't know how to delete!!!

How do I delete lines? I notice I have wifi interval 2x now with 2different value's idk if thats good.. :p
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Multiple ways:

- Use a root capable text editor app on your android device.

- A console text editor like vim on adb shell.

- Pull the file on your computer, edit it, push it back
[General Questions and Answers] Faholo:
Done ty :)

I can't seem to get ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1 into build.prop with command prompt on computer, I've got most of the other tweaks in :s Should I try and enter it manualy with File expert? or not to mess with it? :p

Edit: Nevermind got it!! Anyone knows a recommended vallue for the wifi interval though? I had it on 20 but my battery was empty in 1day.. and I haven't used it THAT much, I've put it to 60 now and I noticed it switched to 3g/2g again for short time.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Sometimes WIFI just disconnects, i'm not sure its related to that value.

What is the default setting?
[General Questions and Answers] Faholo:
No idea.. I switched to 180 because some tweaking guide told me to lol but since I did that it kept changing.. so I did to 20 now to 60..
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Hehe, should have noted what the normal value is and go from there.

You could extract the file from a stock ROM and to know the default value.
[General Questions and Answers] chrisgtl:
My default value is 15.

Hope this helps :-)
[General Questions and Answers] Faholo:
Way to short :p I'll keep it at 60 lol..

Got 2gb/month mobile internet anyway

Thx guys!

There is also a setting in the sms app that you have to check to vibrate as well.

Hello ,

I wonder if i can backup my IMEI , i 'm on NAND android .

But no matter if there is a solution on WM6.5 or android

sorry for my english

Thanks in advance

PS i 've already made a search on the forum but with no luck :cool:
[HD2 General] Spaqin:
Why would you want to backup it? It's the same all the time and you can't change it without changing the law.
[HD2 General] nonomeds:
I know that it is the same all time and i don't want to change my IMEI

but i just want to have a backup copy that i can restore if i lost my imei when flashing a wm 6.5, android or WP7 ROM
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
its REALLY not that easy

that wont happen.

Its a little bit like worrying that your house number will be lost when you paint the front door.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
lmao

dude your IMEI is located in your hardware, not your software.
[HD2 General] johnerz:
Of course if you are still worried remove the battery its written on the label inside the back lol
[HD2 General] nonomeds:
Are your sure that IMEI is written in the hardware??

in many smartphone it's stored in a special partition ( galaxy S ) , galaxy ACE , and it's easy to erase if we don't pay attention

But it might be completly different for the HD2 ?

I use to have a LG kS 20 and a coud flash a Nv file with my imei
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
whether its coded into teh hardware, or held on a seperate storage chip is immaterial. If we could wipe it, or access it in any way, we would have seen 'lost my IMEI' threads by now, and no one has in the 2/3 years the phone has been out, so i can pretty much assure you with hand on heart, nothing you do as regards flashing is gonna touch your imei.

The kS20 on the other hand was fairly well known for being able to erase the non volatile ram which held the various addresses, wifi BT and phone (mac, mac and imei),. so maybe you have been taught to be super cautious. You do not need to worry about that on this phone.

The difference between flashing firmware and flashing roms, i guess.
[HD2 General] nonomeds:
Thanks for the answer , it's a good point that we can't modify our IMEI with softwares or flashing rom.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
on older smartphones the imei is stored in a special part of the radio nand memory - when you flash a radio rom, you actually flash the following sectors just next to the imei part.

it's pretty hard to remove it.

however, some years ago, i had a bricked eten glofish x600 phone and i was trying to probe the motherboard for jtag insertion pins (they were unknown at that time). So, using the cpu's technical datasheet i found something, soldered some wires and start to probe the memory. It didn't work, i don't know why, could have been some 1000 reasons. Eventually i manage to find some other pins (correct ones) and uploaded a temporary bootloader into ram memory, executed it from there and was able to load up a rom file from an sd card attached to the device. So the phone was up and running but when it booted up, i found out it was not connecting to any network.

Just found out that i somehow erased/corrupted the imei part and now my imei was 00000000 etc. And i peeled off and trowed away the imei sticker. So, even if i was able to find a way to ..flash the imei, i didn't know what code to place back.

If only i had a backup with my imei code ... :D
[HD2 General] showlyshah:
I doubt. Coz i know it can be done with sonyericsson, nokia, etc.. and even cheep china phones. Softwares are available. But about android phones, i never checked it. I had changed few imei from some phones( replaced it with dead ones imei) . Most of them are old java, s40 phones.

send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2
[HD2 General] oktron:
IMEI not coresponding

Hello.

In my case imei had changed by flashing to android and than back to original rom.

I had installed Android JB Rom to my HTC HD2 including HSPL 2.08 and Magldr. Yesterday My Power Button had corrupted so my touch screen become unresponsive. Therefore I want to reclaim my phone because he is still in warranty.

So I downloaded actual original rom from HTC website, then got to HSPL bootloader and flashed original rom. Than I realized I have to remove HSPL. So I coppied anoriginal rom image to storage card and renamed image to leoimg.nbh. Booted to bootloader and flashed original rom again incliding original bootloader.

Finaly i checked my imei in booted original windows mobile using *#06# and also about menu and this software IMEI is now different than those displayed on label below battery.

I want to send the mobile to servis for waranty repair, but Im afraid they sey warranty is broken when imei is changed.

I found the same IMEI on the "HTC HD2, Tampered Set, IMEI numbers do not correspond" YouTube.com video (as new user cant send link, sorry).

Edit: Now I downloaded SD version of android boot in and checked IMEI and its correct.

Only windows mobile displaying incorrect IMEI. What could be wrong?

Do You have any suggestions how to fix this?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ever had the mainboard repaired?
[HD2 General] oktron:
Hello. Thanks for reply

As I know it wasnt repaired yet.

In android the number is correct.

Yesterday I flashed HSPL 2.08 and did task29, than reflashed using memory card back to the stock ROM. Imei is the same.

Could it be wrong rom installed? it was O2 branded Rom before, but from Czech republic. I Couldnt find O2 branded czech Rom, so I downloaded one from htc site czech region (non T-mobile).

Thank You very much.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Shouldn't matter what rom you are using, the imei should always report the same.
[HD2 General] oktron:
I Agree, but the reality is different. Same as Guy on the YouTube.

I will try to send it to service. And I will pray for they will pass over and repair it free of charge. :)

I will appreciate any comment and suggestions.

Thank You.

EDIT: Today I recived repaired device prom service. There is different ROM version but, the imei is still WRONG.

Impotrant part is: price of repair was zero. Operation was succesfull.

Thank you for help.

1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! well i didnt did this i dont rely on backups><

2. Download rom.zip and place on sdcard i did

3. Boot into clockwork recovery i did

4. Choose to flash zip (choose appropriate sdcard location) did this

5. Once zip has finished installation, reboot did this aswell

6. Now wait a minimum of 10 minutes (I know you're excited but don't touch anything!) did this aswell

7. Reboot Fails

8. Now you are free to enjoy the unstoppable JUGGERNAUT! im not enjoying :P
