[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The thing with speed tests is that DL speeds vary tremendously from server to server. The closest servers to me don't garner the best results. Pick a location to do the test (i.e. tower) and pick a server that gives you consistent results that you're happy with, and stick to it. IMO the recommended server doesn't mean it's the best.

Local server - 3 MB DL

A server that's 1500 km away - 7 MB

Edit: Essentially you're testing 1. your tower 2. whichever server you set the test to 3. your phone. In that order.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You'd never get those speeds when throttled. You get EDGE when you are throttled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexthearmo:
Guys...it's all good. The tower near my home is broken...and it's not just the speed test app that's slow. It's ANYTHING with data (browser, market, streaming music, youtube, etc). But I get GREAT 4G speeds when in other areas, so it's just a jacked up t-mobile tower. Thanks for all your help, but all is well now. :) (and no, I'm NOT throttled).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h0ly lag:
I am having the same problem, but I don't think for the same reason. Well I got off the live support with T-Mo and the rep told me that with an unlocked phone you will only receive 2G speeds and couldn't tell me any reason why it is like that. Is there anything I can do to spoof the network into thinking I don't have a Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You know this is a lie, right? If it supports AWS frequencies you get full speed just like everyone else lol. If you're not getting good speeds, something else is wrong, not your phone hardware necessarily. It has the capability of HSPA+ 21mbps.

The CS rep is simply confused, assuming that you're using an unlocked phone with AT&T frequencies, which means you actually would only get 2G on T-Mobile. Don't turn to CS online chat for vast knowledge of unlocked phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexthearmo:
Ya. they are wrong. The Galaxy Nexus has T-Mobile HSPA+ bands built in, meaning, you get 4g speeds. Check my screenshot on page two, you can see that in certain locations I was getting almost 8mbps down. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h0ly lag:
Sigh... I don't know then. I used to get quite decent speeds on my G2 before I sold it. Maybe something happened in my area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alexthearmo:
Next time you're out driving away from where you normally are, if you see you have full bars, do a speed test there and see what type of results you get. If I'm anywhere near my home, I get horrible results, but out when I'm closer to different towers, speeds are great. Try and see if that's what happens to you. Then you'll know it has to do with your closest tower and not your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What are your speeds? If you were on EDGE/throttled you'd only be getting like, .5mbps.

You can try changing radios and APNs too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
99.99% of the time, it's the tower, and not the phone.

And the tower probably isn't "bad" - you've just got a lot of other active users on the tower, or you have a couple of really heavy users on the tower at the same time.

Bandwidth on a tower (and each sector of a tower, as well) is shared. 21/42mbps per sector is shared, and then whatever the backhaul to the tower is shared. Just like cable modems way back in the day, there's no load averaging or rate-limiting (unless you're capped), so your speeds are affected by everyone else who's using the tower as well.

You're also testing the routing. In many cases, your traffic will actually not get to the 'general internet' until it gets to a city where T-Mobile routes your traffic to exit its network. In many cases, it's not your nearest city, but a larger city within a few hundred miles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h0ly lag:
I am hoping that i am just in a bad area (Just north of San Diego). Although I just made a trip to Las Vegas and was experiencing similar speed issues out there as well. I've tried flashing different radios too but nothing seems to fix the issue. Oh and I also tried switching speed test servers but to no avail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwc realtor:
Sorry to resurrect this thread but I've had this same problem intermittently (bought a Galaxy Nexus two weeks ago after using an Amaze and yes I know they have different maximum bandwith). Today I did a speed test in an area where I normally got 8-15 MBPS down with my Amaze and only got 1.5 down.

My question is I've tried the UGLC1 radio once in a while but most of the time stay on XXLF1 radio. Has anyone noticed a huge difference between the two? On the one hand UG is optimized for Northern American bands for LF1 is optimized for Jelly Bean.

Hi,

As the title says I would like to know what are the flags required to compile for x86.

I'm trying to port an app which is meant for Cortex-A8/NEON and has following flags :

CXX_TARGET="armeabi-v7a"
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -mfpu=neon -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a8 -mfloat-abi=softfp -ftree-vectorize -mvectorize-with-neon-quad -funsafe-math-optimizations"
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--fix-cortex-a8"
EXTRA_PARAMS=" --enable-neon"

I tried following settings :

CXX_TARGET="x86"
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -march=x86 -ftree-vectorize"
EXTRA_PARAMS=

It does not work. I get a make error :

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mezzi:
Hey guys just got my i9100 last night and im ready to root the phone.

However one guide I read said its best to have the latest firmware installed http://xdaforums.com/show...hlight=CF+Root

Currently I have 2.3.4 baseband i9100uhkg4

Kernel 2.6.35.7-i9100uhkg7-cl417954se.infra@sep-50 #2

build number gingerbread.uhkg7

Im in Jamaica so I navigated to the Jamaican 2.3.6 version on page one of this thread but I was unable to download it because the links are down.

A few questions what region is my current firmware?

Also can I go ahead and root with my 2.3.4 version or is it really better to upgrade to 2.3.6.

Sorry if my question seem dumb its my first android I was using a N95 8gb for 4 years which I did hack to install unlimited apps so im not a newbie in terms of hacking phones.

Also I want to get rid of things like readers hub, social hub, accuwather, ap mobile news and yahoo finance.

After rooting what are the specific steps that need to be taken to freeze these apps. Ive read and read threads they speak about speaking or uninstalling but do not give the specific steps.

Thanks in advance for your help guys.

Lol, fly to Korea for a battery...

Yeah, at least they are genuine batteries (have to be for NFC). I like this, actually. It takes the hassle out of grappling with fakes that suck big time. $39 for a real made in Korea battery with NFC is actually a good price. I recall when replacement batteries for phones were at least $60.

Just wanted to stop and say 'Thanks Albert!' for taking the time to do the video and list out all the steps. I had a few hiccups along the way but like with anything in life, persistence paid off.

My specific issues were not realizing the actual theory of what was going on here. I had to download the google apps .zip file extra and boot back into CWM to install it. I didn't understand that part at first. I wasn't prepared to actually keep an extra sd on hand for the occasional install/backup but I had a 2gb sitting around which worked out perfectly.

Again, thanks and all is working good as of right now! I also missed the part, if it was in the video and I passed over it, about installing the Nook Recovery.apk to install CWM. I blame lack of sleep.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] albertwertz:
if you added the sideloadable app packet, in there is an app called recovery flasher. this app allows you to install CWM on the tablet itself

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] greenlitego70:
More info

I also tried without the cable using the power + n button and no matter how long I hold them, nothing happens. If I take the SD card out, it boots as normal.

I am also running 1.4.2. I just purchased the Nook yesterday. Could that have something to do with it?

I have gone through the entire process of making the R3 card twice and I get the same result. The nook will not boot up with this SD card in it.

is this an 8gb or 16gb nook tablet? it will not work on the 8gb
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jim Mitchell:
Mr. Wertz,

Please allow me a few moments to sing your praises (and those for everyone else involved in the creation of your wonderful 3R SD card!!)

I have no programming skills to speak of. Originally rooting my 16gb v.1.4.1 Nook Tablet was a long and tedious process using ADB, and drivers, and my computer, and several different files...

However, I eventually got it done, installed TB-Pro, homecatcher, Go-Launcher, and aproximately 177 other apps, books, and games... I was happy and content.

THEN Evil B&N pushed 1.4.2, killed my root and basically made my tablet non-functional (at least in the ways I was using it!) Lucky thing I had a recent TB backup of all the apps, but no way to restore them...

While searching XDA for a 1.4.2 root I came across your 3R SD card post... My time and frustration were worth more to me than the very modest price you were quoting, so I took that leap of faith and purchased the 3R along with an extra blank card...

Imagine my surprise to find the envelope laying on my doorstep the next morning when I returned home from breakfast with my wife!!! Your later email explained that you just happened to be in town on vacation, and had hand delivered it to my door! It being St. Paddy's day, I felt like I'd caught me a Leprechaun!

I watched your 3R instructional video at least 3 times, and read all the 3R related posts here and on TR Forums then Monday I rooted it, and then restored it back to out of the box factory condition! Following along with your video as I went it was easy as pie and worked flawlessly 1st time without a hitch!!

Tuesday I took it back to B&N and had them repartition it to give me 8gb of the 16gb internal storage! (Ye-Haw!!)

They had to look up the process in their manuals because that store had never done it before! LOL!! It took them longer to repartition the storage than all the time I spent Monday and today using your card and customizing it just the way I wanted it.

I had never bought apps from the B&N store, only books, so this morning (again following along with your video) I Put my trusty 3R back in and installed CM7 rooted, CWM (OTA now Fully Blocked) verified v.9.9.9 and got TB-pro back up and batch recovered all 179 apps, books, games, etc... I also downloaded the Android readers for both the Nook and the Kindle so I lost nothing and have a better tablet than ever before!!!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for making what looked like a probable nightmare into an easy and FUN experience!

Now if you only had a magic SD Card that would push a fully rooted ICS Kernel and Rom into my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S Captivate... LOL! :D

Many Regards!

R3 Card in my situation

Hi Albert

RESOLVED!! Got N 4.6 root installed! Moving on to R3 card...but, take a look at my post on N 4.6 root thread, problems with supplemental apparently download. One question...all seems to be working (root confirmed using S EXPLORER, BUT device still reads BN 1.4.2 installed. Afraid of OTA but will probably upgrade to CM7 before one hits, I hope. Is this correct?

Thanks Albert

NEVER MIND BELOW.

So, I never got around to installing CM7 as we discussed in PM. I was still running your N4.5 root when HBOgo updated their app and I lost that application. Being the moron I am at times, I did not realize this was the cause, and thought somehow I had lost my root in backing up my SD card to my computer a day prior. So, I took my trusty CWM/N4.5 root card I had saved out and attempted to go back to factory install and reroot, assuming I could get my HBOgo back and then later install CM7 on an SD card as I had wanted. Oh well, I did that and even remembered to block OTA updates in NT Hidden Settings, but alas HBOgo was not working. Finally I realized my mistake...all I should have done was taken a back up of the earlier HBOgo app and replace the nasty update! Too little too late. So, I must have made a mistake in reinnstalling the root because I now have a tablet reflecting I'm running BN 1.4.2. I still have access to both the amazon and google play stores but having trouble downloading new apps from google play. AND, every time I try to run HBOgo I have to go back into Settings and clear a cache etc. So, i've borked the whole thing!

So, I've read through the site and discovered your R3 post and thought perhaps this is my best solution! (I am less enamoured with having the SD version of CM7 now that you have created this nifty little R3 card!).

My question is, can I go directly from where I am (BN 1.4.2) with some weird half rooted ?? version of N4.5 to CM7 using your R3 card? My concern is not the 1.4.2 as your video shows this isn't a problem. It is that I was rooting using the N4.5 rather than the N4.6 which you reference in the R3 tutorial?

I think this is the best plan but am hesitant to go for it. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Lisa
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] snooch6923:
Disregard last post

Needed to download update to NT hidden settings to get OTA block and unauthorized apparently...just in case someone else runs into this.....not sure if NT app is old on zip or if my TB reinstalled old app version but there you have it.

Loving root with BN access....may just keep instead of CM7. As always thanks Albert.

I believe that is correct, if you running a non stock ROM then Amazons OTA updates are not an issue.

The only ways to stay stock and prevent it are to unregistered your kindle on amazon.com, turn off wifi, or diligently check the cache folder and delete the file when it downloads. It doesn't install immediately and it won't download it again once you delete it
