[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Hello, I just got this phone and I'm wondering if I was automatically switched to HSPA+ speed. It says H on the status bar but I don't notice any speed improvement. AT&T can't detect the phone obviously so I can't switch the 4G data plan on the website either.

Is there a way to check or make sure I'm getting HSPA+?

Thanks.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Go to the marketplace and download Free Speed Test.
[Nokia Lumia 800] halfnelson117:
If you are in an area that uses the 850 MHz band exclusively for HSPA+ and you only have a tri-band WCDMA Lumia then you will get 3g/edge speeds.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Data goes back and forth between 3G and H as I move about the city (New York). Wonder if it's the phone or the crappy AT&T signal.

My max down speed is about 3mbps.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Simmo3D:
Just wondering where you purchased your Lumia 800 from? I am looking for one for use with Telstra in Australia that uses the 850MHz band
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
I bought mine unlocked from Amazon.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Simmo3D:
Does it support the WCDMA 850MHz AT&T network? Did you have to flash it with something?
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
the Lumia 800 currently does not support 850Mhz, only 900.

Next month, the US variant (RM-819) will be released here at the Microsoft stores. I'm sure they won't be cheap, but they'll support 850Mhz. You can wait until then. There is also speculation that the EU variant (RM-801) can be flashed with the RM-819 firmware and then open up the 850 band, but that won't be confirmed until someone actually does it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
I don't know about that... The description of the factory unlocked German version I bought says it does.

"Nokia Lumia 800 black 16GB factory unlocked. GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 & 3G/HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100."

I'm using it on AT&T US with 3G.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0067M9JBQ/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Works fine with mine. I get 3-4mbps down, which seems to be the norm in NYC. I didn't touch the firmware, still on 11451.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Sorry, I should have been more detailed.

The variant models of the Lumia 800 (RM-801 and RM-819) differ in WCDMA bands, not GSM bands. Take everything I said before and apply it to WCDMA/HSPA. It then matches up with the description from your German advert.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Ah yes, then you're right. It says right there on the box. WCDMA 900/1900/2100. So no 3G for T-Mobile US ;P
[Nokia Lumia 800] oilpressure:
AT&T No data

Just got my unlocked 800 from Amazon, can't seem to get data to work. Any suggestions? MSG calls OK
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
Go into Settings/Cellular, and at the bottom click APN. Add wap.cingular to the first line and save. That's it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
It's wrong. They're only tri-band 3G.

Edit: And that's already been mentioned, stupid extra page.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
It uses the 1900 band to get at&t 3G, correct?

I was thinking about picking one of these up but was worried about 3G coverage with it if it only use 1900 instead of 850 and 1900.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Wait a month or so and you can purchase the US variant from Microsoft.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
I'm impatient, lol.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
As am I. That's why I have a Cyan UK model for $80 more than I could have purchased the black from Amazon.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
So is anyone using it with at&t and getting 3G coverage?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Yep, people are, on this very forum.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
any negatives to not having the 850 band?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
850 has better building penetration, and I think is more commonly used than 1900.

Best off talking to a Yank about that ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Rusty is correct. My 3g is just fine.

Except in my apartment. I get better 3g service with 850.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
I get 3G just fine in NYC. 3-4mb/1mb connection.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
Did you get yours direct from Nokia? Don't suppose the supported bands are listed on the packaging anywhere.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
No, got mine from Amazon 3rd party seller. It's a German variant. Definitely does not have WCDMA 850mHz.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
I was looking Atone on NewEgg and it looks like it has 850 and 1900 but I'm not sure if they're reliable about listing stuff like that correctly.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875205257
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
That item is deactivated, and I'm willing to wager $ that it's WCDMA specs are wrong.

Another user on this site and I went at it a few days ago. He got his from Newegg and insisted beyond reason that because it worked in his area AND that Newegg stated it was 3G quad band, despite the fact that a photo of his product packaging revealed the product variant to be RM-801 which is WCDMA800/1900/2100

If you want 850Mhz, wait until next month or so when the US Variant should be sold direct and unlocked through Microsoft.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jeffiphone:
Hmmm...sent you a pm.
[Nokia Lumia 800] samven582:
Anybody have an idea when Microsoft is going to sell the unlocked Lumia 800?
[Nokia Lumia 800] geekaren:
Updated my Lumia 800 earlier this week to 1600.2483.8107.11501.

Was wandering around the Diagnostics app this morning, and within that app, went into settings. Was surprised to find an HSDPA setting there (defaulted to OFF). Set it to ON, and received prompt that phone would need to restart.

After phone restarted, getting slightly faster data speeds (AT&T). Had been getting 2-3Mbps down, now getting 4-5Mbps down.

Could just be a coincidence... but interesting nonetheless :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
I found that the setting defaults to off after it reboots anyway. It's an odd option, since H works even with it off.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jiribeador:
2 weeks

Microsoft is going to be offering it in 2 weeks at msft stores (so I was a told by a nokia representative) just bought mine fr onom expansys its 801, not working 3g at seattle (H sign on signal and confirmed GSM connection with free speed test) and a friend got one and took it to Mexico city (telcel has the same bands that AT&T) and no 3G, although it's supposed to support 1900.. any one has a canadian rom? or patch the 801 model for 3g? I think that the phone has the hardware capabilities they only need to be activated..
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
If you're in Seattle with an RM-801 Lumia 800, then you should be getting "H" in most places. AT&t has HSPA+ rolled out in both 850 and 1900.

I know this because I have a Telstra HTC HD2 (850/1900) and the Lumia 800 (900/1900). I also have a Nokia 6700 classic (900/1900). I get fantastic 3G (H) reception in my apartment using the HTC, better than when I was using the 6700 classic. Upon switching to the Lumia, my coverage reverted to that of the other non-USA Nokia. 3G constantly trying to stay connected, but drops continuously and reverts to 2G. It behaves like this due to the location of my apartment.

I'm looking forward to eventually replacing my RM-801 for an 819 device , or in the hopes that a firmware swap will make the change for me.
[Nokia Lumia 800] prjkthack:
Geez I hope this thing supports AT&T 3G. Microsoft has sent me a Lumia and it has yet to arrive, and I'm hoping its one of the variants they plan to sell in the Microsoft Stores soon.

As soon as I get it, I'll see what it happens to run on. I was told that it was unlocked for both AT&T and T-Mobile, but I don't know if that meant it has their proper frequencies, or if its just not carrier-locked (I assume its already not carrier-locked since I'd have to use it with my existing service).
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
I think it means that it's just carrier unlocked. It will work on TMO, but not on their 3G coverage. The only way to know is to look at the product number on the box. If yours is RM-801, then it's WCDMA 900/1900/2100
[Nokia Lumia 800] samven582:
how about online?
[Nokia Lumia 800] jiribeador:
just confirmed

ok here it goes:

dont know if microsoft is going to offer it online, just on the stores

just got of the phone with a friend in Mexico and the 801 does NOT get 3g from telcel (something about them just using 850 for data and 1900 for voice)

in seattle I get H and great speeds (AT&T network)

just talked to a nokia representative, he didn't know about the two models, got online to intranet site and confirmed what we already know

801 is 900-1900-2100

815 is 850....

I've got full refund on the nokia and probably thinking about getting a samsung focus s or a titan.. dont want to use my LG anymore (it sucks!!) or wait for a microsoft store to have lumia..

although I got a chance to compare the demo units and the unit I bought, they have the same hardware revision number and the same radio revision number, and the demo unit had 850 mhz and got 3G band... so probably you could update the firmware and free the band.. but I'm not willing to take the risk...

what would you guys think about the titan or the samsung??
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Titan is a sexy beast. Too big for my personal taste, but users have responded well to it on here on XDA.
[Nokia Lumia 800] jiribeador:
and the winner is...

yes Titan is indeed a sexy beast... but also way to big for my taste (that's one of the things I love about the lumia 800, the size, the design!) I finally decided on the samsung focus S.. and let me tell you it's also a nice piece of hardware I might add.. There's only one thing, I don't like the battery cover, it feels like cheap plastic... and it is.. but the screen is absolutely gorgeous, it's fast and it has all the bands I need for 3g and LTE/4g!!

it's a little bit smaller than the nokia 900, but those werent on sale and expansys does not have a release date.. and obviously I'm not going to buy it from AT&T..

IT was great to have a lumia for just one week...
[Nokia Lumia 800] prjkthack:
Got an RM-801. Guessing its from the UK though since I got a usb wall plug with that prong configuration. Awesome device though. Gonna pop my SIM in a bit and see what I get.

Box clearly says:

Upon first boot, I swore I saw H. Now all I seem to get is 3G. Still getting really good speeds with the device anyway.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
That puts you in a 1900 area then, which is good news (of sorts).
[Nokia Lumia 800] gtg465x:
Pretty sure we can't get HSPA+ on AT&T because we can't manually configure the default APN. Windows Phone has a predefined list of APNs and when it recognizes your SIM card as AT&T it automatically uses the "wap.cingular" APN. There is an option to add a second APN (many carriers use multiple APNs), but you can't change the default APN assigned to AT&T. We would need to be able to set the default APN to "phone" (AT&T's HSPA+ APN) instead of "wap.cingular".
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
You can configure the APN manually.
[Nokia Lumia 800] gtg465x:
Really? How? Pretty sure pressing "add apn" just adds a second one, so how would one change the default one?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
What default one? I had to do that for my phone to work, so I assume it is the only one?
[Nokia Lumia 800] gtg465x:
Ah, well Windows Phone has a set of default APNs for most carriers. I guess since it didn't have one for your carrier it just used whatever you put in.
[Nokia Lumia 800] bver100:
Did some search to see if i could use this to access the HSPA+ network. On AT&T, you apparently need the 4g plan to be able to access HSPA+ [http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1745779-Data-plan-for-HSPA-Access] I'm coming from a non HSPA+ smarphone, so i think I don't currently have a plan that supports it (but i can't tell for sure...)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
I've never built a CWM binary before (CWM integration has been done my someone else on every other device I've developed for) and it requires a full CyanogenMod source tree - mine got corrupted so I lost a few hours doing a full resync.

CWM integration is a poorly documented black art - especially on Samsung devices.

I've got something compiling now, maybe 10% chance it works. If it doesn't I won't be touching it again until sometime this week, as a friend of mine is arriving in town in about an hour to visit.

Edit: It booted, but it acted like the VolUp key was stuck (just kept looping up through the menus) and it spewed a ton of errors

Edit 2: Somehow it's treating side-to-side tilt as up/down, and I need to move recovery.fstab somewhere else...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Right now I have it compiled and not spewing errors,however:

Our accelerometer spams /dev/input/event1 with a lot of crap. CWM treats this spam as keypresses, making CWM unusable. I need to figure out how to filter out event1 keycode input to get anything workable.

With r7 kernel, you can do full Nandroid backup and restore (system, data, cache and dbdata). There are issues yet, but hopefully will be fixed soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zBusterCB87:
Sorry to bump an old thread, but this thread seems relevant, and I'd like to not make another thread for just the same thing.

QUOTE: "What's the status on CWM development for 5.0?"

What device exactly is this referring to?

I'm assuming this refers to the Samsung galaxy player 5.0?

CWM, that is clockwork mod?

Would the person coding this be connected with ROM Manager?

I read someone was working on a CWM for Samsung 5.0 and they seemed to be close to an answer or something...

I was wondering if you were affiliated with ROM Manager in some way and the clockwork mod recovery and its device list...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
ClockworkMod Recovery comes from the same guy who maintains ROM Manager, but they are NOT the same thing.

CWM's source code is published, so people can port CWM without Koush's involvement. Which is what rumirand and I did - we have CWM 5.0.2.7 working on the USA and International Galaxy Player 5.0 units at this point. (You necroed an outdated thread, we've had CWM working for a while now.) For CWM on a USA version, install my kernel, for CWM on an International unit, install his.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Undead Maleficar:
Thanks but I'm having problems.

Entropy, I have your Kernel installed and I can boot into the CWM-based recovery but ROM Manager doesn't recognize that I have CWM installed and won't let me do anything. Does this happen to you too?

I have really been having a HELL of a time trying to do things with this since support for this device is so scarce. I couldn't find anything about Clockwork Mod for this device anywhere. I searched for hours and kept hearing people referencing the xda developers site so I decided to look here and I installed your kernel hoping it would help and it does. But ROM Manager still doesn't recognize that CWM is installed and tells me to install it and gives me a list of phones which my device is not on and doesn't let me do anything until I install a version of CWM.

So is there an official port for CWM available that ROM Manager will recognize or is there only the ports contained in your and your friends kernels??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I found this app on the market. It imitates a cracked screen. It isn't like one of those old ones that isn't interesting. You can use your phone normally with the screen cracked on this app, kind of like a real cracked screen. It has a shake trigger to activate and disactivate, so if you drop your phone, it will shake and trigger the crack so you can fool people. It also has many different cracks so it isn't always the same. This is available on both the market and Samsung apps.

[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
Hey Guys!

Just installed CWM onto my phone. I have one question as the title says. If I install the home base ROM, how do i later install the Stock ROM back without losing anything? Like CWM or the unlocked bootloader etc?

Would like to try out differenct kernels on my phone now. But I need to know whether i can go back to stock without losing anything.. Data / Apps would be fine.

Another question, which is the best kernel? Home base rom without any bloatware is the one I am thinking of getting into. Please advise.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Don't bother with home base. Development is dead and home base is based on out dated code. Your best bet is joker's ROMs and kernels. Skinny will give you a Sprint bloat free ROM while retaining all the core functionality of the stock moto ROM. For example, the stock music player gives you shoutcast and podcast support, this is retained in skinny.

Joker stock gives you a tuned, stock experience. Skinny gives you a light weight screamer. Skinny complete gives you all the improvements of skinny plus webtop+. Joker also has a ton of kernels to play with.
[Motorola Photon 4G] androiderb89:
Hey loki. First of all i really appreciate your work out here :)

Ok so i'll have a look into jokers roms... but again if i wanna get back to stock by removing all the custom kernels?

i think this is the best tpu case i have ever gotten for any of my phones.

TPU cases usually cover the buttons and make it very difficult to press buttons, or may be slightly too big for the phone so its not a snug fit.

This case that i got for the phone fits it perfectly, no loose sides, its tight just like how a condom should be :p

PROS, buttons are cut out, and its matte, great feel, fits perfectly

CONS, 10 bucks for a tpu case?? >:[ being that usually they're $2-5!

buy it! im happy with the case check it out!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] armoguy94:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidtoy09:
Agree! this case is amazing. I also have the D30 from T-mobile store. Both are very good. But the D30 offers more protection.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Temescal:
I have this case as well. I got it on amazon for $11 :(

Fits very well, all buttons are easily accessible. I also bought an Xtremeguard screen protector (screen, back, and 4 sides) but with this case the back and sides are superfluous. Smarter shopping and you could probably get a screenprotector + this TPU case for about $12 and get great protection for your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s10shane:
i agree, this is the best tpu case ive ever owned or used. its cut outs for the buttons make it feel like the case isnt even there and its super thin and fits great. i got mine for 11 on amazon but i got the smoked clear one. here is some pics if it helps anyone out. just make sure u get the Revision 2 one. because i guess the first cases they made blocked the mic at the bottom. u can see in my pics that mine isnt blocked because its the Revision 2 version which they fixed that issue

I restored it, rebooted and he still has super-user. So i tested it with root check and titanium back-up, did not work. I unroot with superoneclick and it does nothing.

So I came here and started reading I found out that 1.7 is needed to root. My question is will it still root even though super-user is already installed, but not working?
