[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Right now I have the 3G symbol as we speak, as soon as i hit the submit button I will get the H icon.

Edit: and it did.

Still my Sensation might not be as fast as previous phone which was and LG G2x and it would constantly beat my Sensation when it came to speed test but what I can assure you is that I can now watch HD videos streaming off YouTube without constantly buffering like my previous.

I look for reliability and real world experience more than numbers, statistics and benchmarks.
[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
Thanks for your reply, do you get an annoying little pause when it goes between 3G and h sometimes?
[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
I have the same problem.

I had it also in my previous smartphone, HTC Desire.

I tried to change my SIM with another (different carrier), and the other SIM went perfectly on constant HDSPA.

If I put another SIM which has the same carrier (I have Wind) it will have the "3G-standby" problem.

I haven't tried to put my SIM on another smartphone (not HTC), so I don't know if it's an HTC-specific problem.

I've ever wanted to figure out the problem and searched everywhere for a solution, but nothing. I've tried thousands of tweaks, hacks and speed improvement guides, but none of these solved the problem.

Which carrier have you got, and where do you live in?

EDIT: Oh, and I have the same problem with every radios, so I think it doesn't matter.
[HTC Sensation] Spr33y:
This isn't a bug it's a feature... Depending on the rom, typically the phone switch from H to 3G when no data is being transferred.
[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
I doubt it, if i put another SIM in the sensation, it will show H icon everytime.

By the way, you know how to disable this feature?
[HTC Sensation] chrisnewton:
yea i doubt its a feature too as since i have restarted the phone i have nothing but H symbol.

I am on the 3 network and in the UK
[HTC Sensation] Asa2303:
Not 100% sure, but think it maybe a feature in that when signal strength is low it drops to 3g when idle to conserve power as hspda uses a lot of juice in poor signal conditions. There are lines in build prop starting ro.rill which can be changed to alter your H and 3g and g values. Did it on my X10 a year ago following a guide on here.

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=0

ro.ril.enable.dtm = 0

ro.ril.gprsclass = 12

ro.ril.hsdpa.category = 10

ro.ril.hsupa.category = 6

ro.ril.hsxpa = 3

ro.ril.enable.ganlite = 1

These are my values on my sensation xe, running aosp rom, and I don't see 3g very often. Take a back up and give it a try, don't forget to reboot after applying new values to see if it works. If no change or worse, then just restore your backup file.

[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
I will try. Thanks.

What are that variables referring to? Are there a guide explaining that?

(many thanks)
[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
I tried editing build.prop like that, but it didn't solve anything. :(

Maybe here I should increase or decrease some values. But I don't know which variables should edit to.

Cincinnati Bell 4G vs T-Mobile

I bought an unlocked HTC Sensation made for Cincinnati Bell about 3 weeks ago. Since day one, I could only connect to T-Mobile 3G network. Occasionally, the H symbol showed up, but it was very rare.

Called T-Mobile, they asked me to come in to one of their stores to swap a new SIM. In addition, they reset the network service on my account and confirmed that their computers showed that I'm in a very strong 4G network. Still, I could only connect at 3G.

Finally, called HTC. After asking me for the IMEI, the HTC rep. told me that the Sensation 4G's made for Cincinnati Bell have different frequencies. That's why it could not connect to T-Mobile 4G network.
[HTC Sensation] Piplos:
So, with your Cincinnati Bell you could only connect on T-Mobile 3G network? Is that roaming?

If that, I think you're not talking of the same issue on switching between 3G-HDSPA.

Hi im using minicm 2.1.8 naa-10 and I was wondering?

Does zeam launcher leave less of a ram footprint than the adw that comes with minicm??

Its because I was reading through a blog going on bout heavy-weight launchers with light-weight launchers and adw came under the heavy-weight and zeam with light-weight I know myself that zeam was light but is the adw that comes with minicm or any other cyanogen rom lighter than zeam and still little footprint on ram????

Im very curious about this lol
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rooterdam:
Zeam is as light as it comes.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ttocs99:
So the adw that comes with cyanogen is still heavy even tho its been moded? And going to try zeam :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] rooterdam:
I wouldn't go as far and say its heavy but zeam is the lightest I know.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ttocs99:
Is there anyway to tell ow much ram zeam is using or do I go to running services then a press menu button then go to runnig cached prosess?

Hi everyone!

I just installed CM9 on Motorola Defy.

The problem is that widgetlocker won't work on it.

It worked great on CM7, but the app just crashes whenever I open it after upgrading to CM9.

Is anyone there with the same problem?

Does anyone has any ideia of what to do to fix this problem?

thanks everyone!

Cheers!

Good work, sounds like a traumatic experience!

I had something very similar with my s2, dropped on a rock, broke the glass but not the screen. bought glass off ebay but couldn't separate broken glass from screen. I ended up taking it to a samsung service center who charged me £50 to replace the glass using my Ebay part which proved the glass can be replaced with right tools and technique.

I changed mine about a week ago and almost cried when i seen that connector on the back of the broken screen. I thought i had cut something when i didnt see it attached by a connector. Then i thought about the stylus connection and bam.

Just how fragile is the Note?

I've had the Dell Streak 5 for 15 months and have just this evening suffered my 7th (seventh - not a typo) broken screen. it fell from approximately 12 inches on to a rug, onto its corner and the lcd has leaked.

My upgrade date is Friday so i'm going to suffer half a screen for a week, but i love the size of the streak and the only thing close to it is the Note, however i don't want another phone that is going to break at the slightest knock like the streak.

Any advice would be great!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LOADSABEER:
Its pretty tough. Ive had my note about 6 weeks and dropped it about 6 times. Most recently this afternoon it fell about 4 feet to the ground out of my jacket pocket. It fell on concrete and luckily it seems perfectly fine.

I have a cheapo screen protector and a cheap TPU case off amazon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] intruda119:
Best way to avoid breaks is, dont drop your phone. I literally sleep on my phone 5 out of 7 days. Drop it a couple times a week from waist and barely ever got a scratch. But when my 235 pound body wedge my phone between me and my car door it finally cracked after 3 months of use.

The phone can take a beating but you should protect your phone as best as you can. And if your like me, and walk around with a naked phone, you have to be able to deal with the consequences of damage. Cant blame anyone but yourself. Scratches and cracked screens are not self inflicted, its user error.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naimmkassim:
I just drop mine 1 feet high during cleanup its screen inside me car..damn it drop and hit my gear box car!! Another mistake which can cause me become crazy!! And another luck where my screen and body phone is ok with no scratch at all..lucky me (again).. ;'(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] voxano:
liveforphysics, did you try to separate the remains of the broken glass from the remains of the broken screen?

... also, did you attach the new glass to the new screen in any way or did you just stack them up against each other?

Or did the new screen come with the glass already attached?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gregianos:
Thanks for all the responses.

I think its a fair certainty that I'll be getting one! Sounds a lot sturdier than the Streak, I have a soft case on the Streak and still have major problems with it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr. xp55:
oh man, unfortunately i have had the same kind of experience. my phone dropped, and there is a crack near the home button with spider web like cracks going upward. Fortunately as yourself, the phone works perfectly nonetheless. the touch, and capacative buttons work, so i was relieved for that atleast. i tried looking for ways to fix it as well, and had the same assumptions as yourself, only to find out i had to to pay 250 for the screen and digitizer.

I would so like to be able to do this, but im terrified something will happen, and i'll lose my device surely.

im def going to keep this thread saved in case i work up the courage to fix my screen (it just looks ugly)

and also, as some other users have asked, where did you get the replacement screen from? and is it genuine gorilla glass?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mfractal:
if i were you, and would be afraid to touch the device myself i'd buy the parts,find a repair store & pay some extra for a professional to do the replacement.

hope u fix it ;)

Wacom Digitizer for Stylus

Thanks for your instructions. They gave me courage to go further than the other instructions I found and I've successfully replaced my screen as well.

Btw. the "thing" is the digitizer for the stylus.

I made a little video of it in action on it's own before putting everything back together again.

youtu.be/7O1cvjPqbbQ

If you're not interested in using the stylus (I actually practically never use it), then you can simply leave the digitizer away. Of course if your like me and you've already taken your note apart, then your pride will not let you stop before all components work fine again - even if you don't need them.:cool:

I converted mine into a white note last week. Will put pics up when I get a chance. Easiest installation ive ever done.

Ive done atleast lcd installation since winmo days. THis is by far the easiest swap/fix ive ever done. Talking about the complete kit. I changed just the lcd/digitizer before and didnt like the finished product.

The complete kit makes it almost brand new. And of course the internals are still black.

DIY GUIDE TO REPLACING THE 19$ BROKEN GLASS on the galaxy note

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25100245#post25100245

question: WHY DID SAMSUNG DECIDE TO GLUE THE SCREEN TO THE GLASS INSTEAD OF HAVING THEM SEPARATE LIKE ALL THE OTHER TOUCHPHONES?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rcarruthers:
Did it OK thanks to you!

First off I'm a noob so can't see the thanks button, but wanted to show my appreciation anyhow. I broke my lcd (though not the glass weirdly) dropping the phone from about five feet despite it being in a cheap case.

I ordered the cheapest screen I could find on ebay which cost £166 / $270, I've no idea if it's a genuine samsung part or a knock-off.

I then followed your instructions to the letter. I was a little concerned you didn't state whether to unscrew the speaker & camera units like in the only note youtube disassambly vid i could find - but went ahead with just the main housing and mobo unscrewing - which was fine. Then (being bald & so not owning a hairdryer!) I warmed up the adhesive by lying the screen on a plate sitting on top of my toaster - it was difficult to remove the screen but i yanked it off with a single case opener tool by levering it & threading it around the circumference. I then discovered, like you, my new part didn't have the stylus digitizer pad & connector (a fact screen sellers should make clear in their listings IMO). I didn't unpeel the silver layer like you, but used the connector to start unpeeling the entire stylus digitizer with the silver layer intact. I had to tweezer off some fragments of the broken LCD. I then lined it up on the back of the new screen as best I could with the bottom lining up with the bottom of the screen although it was no longer stuck together. This whole process was a bit random, scary & I thought the chances of it working were slim. However all was well after complete reassembly, the screen looks great and the stylus accuracy is fine - although in a paint programme I use a small part of the very bottom of the screen is unresponsive to input. This might be due to misalignment or having damaged the digitizer when peeling it off.

So all in all a worthwhile effort and you were the only instructional guide I could find to doing this on the net, so my undying gratitude. For an extra 40 quid though in the UK you can send the phone off on ebay to repairers and I would recommend the technically faint of heart do it that way instead.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Martijn D:
I replaced my display a few days ago. I choose to replace the entire display (glass with the lcd and touch digitalizer) because the old glue was damaged i decided to remove the old glue and use "Bison tix". With a injection needle I put the glue on its place.

Good luck.

The wizard

Well you wanted a way to remove the glass.....here it is!! I used dental floss to seperate the glass from the plastic bezel without taking the phone apart.....thereby increasing my hopes to replace the glass only!! However dental floss isn't so strong so I am now using fishing line.....started in the corner by the camera after lifting the edge with a dentists toothpick, pulling one side across the top of the phone and the other down the side. I will post a pic when I have a clear pic of the line across the middle of the phone, between the screen and the OLED. This was done with NO HEAT. There seems to be some kind of sticky plastic on the back of the glass....probably to hold it together if you smash it.......however the sticky side is towards the glass and it doesn't leave any residue on the OLED when you pull the glass off, so I suggest no heat. I put a message on this post

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1609937

after speaking to the boffins at Samsung and they told me what was what.......so as you can see from my pic (look at the first 1 on the clock, no glass, no glue!!) the glass is only bonded to the bezel around the edges and heating this stuff up will only make it stickier and melt the plastic on the back of the glass to the OLED, basically guaranteeing you break it or have a huge mess to clean up. I am not going any further at the moment as the new glass hasn't arrived yet.....but I thought I'd give you a heads up all the same........
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
I didn't know there was a minty green coloured Note? :p

Seriously though, that's a great find! Please make a thread when you get around to replacing the whole thing!

I might start not using a screen protector if this is a doable way of replacing the glass. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
i also wonder how u'll end up replacing the glass using dental floss. Please keep us updated. I hope that will be a happy success story as i have a glass to replace too
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chessie-james:
Not so Wizard.....sigh

oh well.......it was all going brilliantly......as stated before the dental floss was working, but swapped to fishing line, then the sticky stuff happened about a centimetre in, it is like rubber solution glue, definately not epoxy......so I carried on "flossing" the screen with fishing line and was about halfway down, with the phone still on, and working (I was still getting calls on it!!), no heat in sight, thinking this is going great.....when all of a sudden a crackling sound.....then 2 blue lines on the screen, then three and that was it.......game over. It was however an attempt at nothing and the boffins at the Samsung repair centre were so wrong about not being glued but maybe they meant the OLED was bonded at the edges (which it is) and we had our wires crossed, and besides if you dont try you will never know, and I think if I had taken a bit more time then I might have been successful. I cant moan, it's my stupid fault for dropping the phone in the first place, oh and it's the digitizer that you are trying to seperate from the glass, not the OLED. The OLED is stuck just around the edges to the digitizer, so one slip and its goodbye vienna whichever way you look at it!! I did read in another post somewhere that you could buy the glass with the digitizer already bonded, but that still leaves the problem of seperating the OLED from the digitizer, and seeing as it is the thickness of a Rizla, I can see why they are all glued together.

Good luck all that are trying to replace the glass on a SGN, hope you have better luck than me. I am going to try some solvents on my now broken screen to see if anything unglues that rubber snot like substance that is causing all the problems, but I would still avoid heat guns and hairdryers. How can I describe the glue....it's like dry silicone sealant, it's stretchy and rubs off of the screen with no hassle whatsoever, but in a long thin even layer it's going to be a real dog to remove with scratching/breaking the digitizer OLED assembly.

Sorry I failed chaps, but I will do some more digging and post any results I find right here......Laters.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krazman325:
I'm kinda late to the party here. I don't understand why someone would pay $600-$800 for this phone and then try to "white trash" repair it. Heat guns? Hair dryers? Dental Floss??? I'm a dentist. Dental floss works for teeth and cutting cheesecake. That's about all.

I've seen this all before on the Dell Streak5 forums. People are willing to waste hours of their time and spend lots of $$$ on all sorts of chemicals and equipment to fail to repair their expensive devices. If Samsung wanted you to use a heat gun to repair this delicate electronic equipment, they would include the heat gun with the $19 piece of gorilla glass. Don't forget that your time is worth something!!

Save your time. Spend a few $$$. Buy the right parts and fix it quickly and properly! Before you flame me completely you should know that I have replaced the broken glass ENTIRE SCREEN ASSEMBLY on my Dell Streak5 and it took 20 minutes the first time. And it worked the first time! If you have the money to purchase a device like this in the first place, surely you have the money to fix it properly.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pboesboes:
I think a lot of people here on XDA enjoy tinkering with their devices (I know I do), so the time spent can be enjoyable and isn't necessarily lost time.

Also, imagine that through community effort we figure out a quick and easy way to replace the glass, wouldn't that be awesome? It would save many people a lot of time and money.
