[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aimetti:
I have been having constant reception issues on my galaxy nexus in areas that I normally get full service.

Ive tried just about everything to no avail. What I have noticed though is that any time i have a good signal and phone is actually working I am usually on HSDPA:9. Other times when my signal is fluctuating or gone all together its on HSDPA:11 and cycles to UMTS:3.

Does this make sense or am I just imaging it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spectrumfox:
From what I'm told, this is normal behavior. The phone will hotswap into HSPA+ mode during data transfers, but then scale back to 3G when there's no data being moved around. I'm told the phone does this to save battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hillrider:
I Googled to here to look for the answer to the OP's question (Difference between HSDPA:11 and HSDPA:9?), but it seems elusive. Nothing else seems to answer it either.

I speculated that the number after the colon refers to the Category as per en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access, but it doesn't seem to fit. I also looked at whether the number after the colon has to do with speed (in Mbit/s), but there's no HSDPA for ~8 (the nearest are 7.2 and 10.1) nor ~11 (nearest are 10.1 and 14.0) and UMTS:3 makes little sense as well.

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlanetRaptoR:
http://www.option.com/Upload/main/White papers/Option White paper - HSDPA 9.pdf

It's the HSDPA category number. 9 is HSPA, 10, 13 and 14 are HSPA+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Damn. I had assumed that 11 was going to be faster than 9. How misleading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Actually no, you're totally wrong. As hillrider is.

The number represents a different type of general data connection, not every type of HSPA connection. And 9 is not for HSPA, etc; (before 9, it even writes HSDPA clear as crystal). As for 11 it writes HSPA.

So, from what I have noticed so far:

GPRS - 1

UMTS - 3

HSDPA - 9

HSPA - 11

LTE - 13 (? I'm not sure here)

So it's pretty obvious these aren't part of a HSPA table, because of the different technologies listed. They are a part of a general data connection table. Also, it's pretty obvious that they are numbered in ascending order, based on the connection speed. There are probably even more, I don't know exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
If you read something else here I misread.

I have seen UMTS:3, HSDPA:9, HSPA:11.

I would be pissed if the numbers actually meant HSPA categories because I think it would mean my provider is lying when they say they provide HSPA+. For that I'd need to see HSPA:13 and I never have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
HSDPA is in the DOWNLINK

HSPA means HSDPA + HSUPA with HSUPA meaning data in the UPLINK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Hmm yeah that makes sense. I should have known that. I'm not sure why I got confused there. Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
How do we check this ish?

Sent from a yakju GSGN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
Basic math ..... (HSDPA:11)-(HSPDA:9) = 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
its the speed of the signal.

I used to have to all the different categories and their speed associated with them but I can no longer find it.:(:(

Basically when your on 11 your download and upload speed is faster than 9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sishgupta:
Doing some searches I found:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7893188&postcount=10

Which gives us the following:

UNKNOWN = 0; "G"
GPRS = 1; "G"
EDGE = 2; "E"
UMTS = 3; "3G"
IS95A = 4; "1x"
IS95B = 5; "1x"
1xRTT = 6; "1x"
EVDO_0 = 7; "3G"
EVDO_A = 8; "3G"
HSDPA = 9; "H" or "3G"
HSUPA = 10; "H" or "3G"
HSPA = 11; "H" or "3G"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kas206:
Mine never shows HSDPA:11 :(

Looks like I'm stuck at the lower speeds.

Those of you who connect at HSDPA:11 can you confirm if the H icon on the top turns Blue when you connect at that speed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Because HSDPA:11 doesn't exist :faceslap: :faceslap: :faceslap:

Like I said before and like sishgupta wrote above, it is HSPA:11, not HSDPA:11 !

Why is it so damn hard to understand ? Sheesh...

Also, like sishgupta wrote above, H is for HSDPA AAAAND HSPA.

Do you guys even read what it is already written above your freaking post ? :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kas206:
OK OK OK. I meant HSPA:11

Wonder why I can't connect to it.

I wish it would show H+ like the SGS2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnalogXDA:
You seem upset. There's no reason to be, you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
This made me laugh. Thanks :))

@Kas206: Mine isn't always connected. Try for the next 2 days to check it very often in System-Status. See if it changes throughout the day, especially if you move a lot through the city.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
how do you see if you are connected on HSDPA9 or HSPA11?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Please tell me you're joking... :||||||||||
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
I'm not joking. My phone displays 3G for UMTS and H for HSDPA and for HSPA so I don't know when I'm on HSDPA and when I'm on HSPA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakker:
Settings, About Phone, Status and there

It surely depends on your network? For those who are only getting HSDPA:9...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kas206:
Been travelling from East of London to West of London almost daily. I have never seen HSPA:11

My network (O2) definitely supports HSPA+ @ 21Mbps

I dont know what the problem is my brother has a SGS2 and that is always showing H+ logo at home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fakker:
Who cares about the +, it means nothing here.

Firstly, the BLUE, it goes Blue when you are signed into Google Services; e.g. Google Talk.

So whatever colour it is, does not matter.

Secondly, I'm currently connected :11, and I have no "H+", just the same crappy H you have, and every other person over reacting...

EDIT: Screenshot to make you feel better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
My phone connects at HSPA 11 which displays the H icon. I get around 15-18Mbps around my house on Telstra Next-G

Also, the Galaxy Nexus does NOT display H+ unlike the Galaxy S II.. it means nothing. You are still connecting to H+ but this phone will not show a H+ icon. No need to worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hillrider:
Fantastic!

Thanks for prociding the answer!! You're a much better Googler/searcher than I am. Kudos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Yeah, it's an internal Android classification for network speed. It roughly correlates to HSPA releases, but only in the broadest sense since it also includes CDMA2000 ratings as well. The max level the phone was allowed (by software, setting it to "14" for LTE will not get you 4G on the GSM model) could actually be set in the build.prop up until Android 2.3.

It's 14.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thequinox:
My phone always shows HSDPA:9. At least with the network I'm on. I think it's because WIND currently (for some retarded reason) doesn't support HSUPA, therefore it shows that it's only capable of using HSDPA. For those on networks that support both I assume it would read HSPA:11

[HTC Desire S] The_Energy:
Hello everyone,

I've got a pretty simple question which I sadly couldn't find an answer for and I was hoping someone could maybe help?

I am going on holiday soon and I've created a map on Google Maps on my laptop which is saved to my google account. Is it possible to load this on my Google Maps app on my phone so that I can use it (offline if possible) when I am away? It is just a map with some places I want to visit rather than a route etc.

I tried playing around with the app but could seem to get it working.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

:)
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
At this case i don't know if it's possible, but if you use google labs from maps at your device, you can cache maps you need offline.

There is no possiblity to calculate routs with this offline version, but you can search for places.

Check it, with opening maps -> Settings -> google labs -> check cache map (i don't know what it's real name in english, sry, but i'm sure you will find it^^) -> go back to normal mapview -> choose the middle of the map you want to cache -> open this point and at the bottom should stand something like save map to cache or so.

With this method you can save 16x16km area around the point you chosen. Up to 10 cached maps are possible and they can overlap if you want to.

Zooming and stuff like this is possible like everytime routes calculation is not possible.
[HTC Desire S] The_Energy:
Many thanks Tectas, that is a big help. I just tried now as I hadn't seen this function before.

OK it doesn't import the presaved map but it's still a very useful offline solution.

Much appreciated!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
I don't know if I am doing something wrong, or if I'm skipping a step. In the past two weeks, I have tried Catyrom, Numas, Fusion XII, Dlev Rom, and have had problems with bootlooping, won't boot at all, and needing 3 or more tries with the 3 button technique to get to recovery. I am not new to flashing at all, and I am not touting any rom over another. Just wondering if anyone else has had these issues. The rom I keep goingback to has had no issues at all. I like the way it runs, but am itching to flash new stuff.

Could it be the Core A2 kernel? The UCKK4 modem?

Curious and befuddled!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
I don't see how you would bootloop with catyrom or numbas because this are native infuse roms ...not ports llike the others....are you wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
When on the Catyrom, I had something happen that I've never seen. everything was running well, until I tried to use "Display/ Fonts/" to change system fonts. Then it would freeze up, go to a black screen, with an Android in the top left corner and a message in yellow "kernel error".

The other roms seem to have a problem with the GB Core A2 kernel.

And yes, I always do a complete wipe of data, cache and dalvik!

I am really confused, but will keep trying. Funny thing, every time I go back to Sensation 1.1 with UCKK4 and Core A2, it runs beautiful.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Next time I flash, I may try the following, in this order: wipe data, then cache, THEN go to mounts/storage and format system, then clear DALVIK Cache.

It worked on DoctorZ rom, it may do the trick for these others!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dht2005:
Not sure if you knew but this was a documented bug in Caty. Last I checked no one had found a reason or fix yet

Edit: my apologies dman, perhaps I am remembering what I read incorrectly. sorry!

That's funny...first I heard...not 5 min ago I changed fonts with no issue whatsoever
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Torres77an:
Android 4.0 updates soon?

Sony Ericsson has submitted its Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo handsets to the PTCRB in the US to test them for compatibility with Google's Ice Cream Sandwich platform.

The PTCRB is a North American alliance of cellular providers, and tests to make sure the phone will run smoothly on all networks when updated to new software.

Sony Ericsson has now submitted its Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo for testing, although there's no word on the Arc S or Neo V at this time - presumably these are either the same thing or will be submitted for their own inclusion in good time.

Beginning again Either way, it's excellent news for the reams of fans that are looking forward to giving their handset a new lease of life when Android 4.0 lands - we're intrigued to see what Sony Ericsson will do beneath its TimeScape overlay.

The move shows that the soon to be solely Japanese firm is sticking to its word - where before Sony Ericsson handsets were among the worst for getting the latest version of Android, a tweak to the UI means it can now be 'unhooked' much more easily from the OS to facilitate upgrades.

Given the phones are in testing now, we're hopeful for an Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo Ice Cream Sandwich UK release date of somewhere in February 2012.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plazzTT:
I did a clean install of a stock Samsung ROM on my GS2.

Google offers to restore my phone and it starts to restore all my previously installed apps from the Market.

This stopped after 10 or so apps, and I restarted my phone.

Now I see I have the 10 or so listed under "Installed" in My Apps in the Market, all the rest are under "Not Installed".

How can I force my phone to start downloading and installing these ones under "Not Installed" without going into each one and installing manually?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Namuna:
A few things to note here.

1. There's no showing of this most recent version (GT-N7000B) having the 700MHz capability, which means AT&T 2G/3G only, no 4G LTE.

2. As we've seen with the GT-N7003, if/when they DO offer an LTE version it will be with a the Snapdragon 1.5GHz (8255T) chip...Which has the INFERIOR (as compared to the Mali 400MP in the Exynos version) Adreno 205 GPU!!!

I don't get the thinking with using an older generation Adreno 205 with a monstrous 5.3" 1280x800 rez phone?? That's like throwing a Ford Escort engine under the hood of a Hummer body (alright, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but still... For a screen/rez on the Note, it seems you'd want the best possible GPU driving it).

Huh? Am I missing something? I've been reading it's out in S. Korea in the LTE/Snapdragon flavor....Where are you hearing 1700/2100?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dennishhh:
This is great news only if AT&T puts the Note in their system. Big question is is it a tablet or a phone AT&T must be having real problems figuring this out! What will happen if they put this in their system, will a European version then show up and be able to get an APN automatically downloaded to the phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dan37tz:
I really hope they figure out how to keep the Exynos and not drop in the Snapdragon to enable LTE compatibility. The original GS2 is just so much snappier than the Snapdragon Skyrocket.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
exactly what I was thinking
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
I think Korea uses CDMA 1700/2100 bands.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
Why is that necessarily Samsung's fault?

My fear of an eventual AT&T release being LTE (and therefore getting slower hardware) is why I went ahead and ordered an international version (before today, not realizing that AT&T would release a non LTE version). I'd love to have LTE, but not at the expense of the slower hardware.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hammerfest:

I don't know, maybe because they make the phone? Then again going out of your way to not have customers seems to make sense in the cell phone business for some reason.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
I have been perfectly happy with AT&T for many, many years (I predate the Cingular years, back to original AT&T). I don't care about 4G or LTE, I just want the Note in my hands sooner rather than later. I certainly hope they class it as a phone, if they don't, then I'll bitterly move onto the SGS II or whatever snazzy new phone is out at that time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
Seems to me that Tmobile would have to be interested in carrying it for Samsung to be intersted in making it. Samsung can't count on a significant number of Tmobile customers buying an already niche phone unsubsidized.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] n25philly:
So? They could even put the band in there? I could care less about buying it through t-mobile. It's the same tech, I don't buy that they couldn't put all of the bands in it. So many phones work on T-Mobile and AT&T, now all the sudden no one can make their phone compatible. Sounds like pure bs to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
So what you're saying is, you believe Samsung is deliberately excluding Tmobile bands out of spite? They don't have a good reason for excluding those bands, and are denying themselves potential sales just to upset people?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] n25philly:
lol, out of spite? no. It's due to the difference in 4g. Still, I know I would be happy with 3G and it's better than nothing since they obviously have no interest making it available for t-mobile anyway. Then again it would be nice if the system would be more like Europe's so we can just stop with all the carrier exclusives and let us just pick the phones we want.
