[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
I hear that Sony is going to be releasing V3 of Sony Bridge for Mac (on the Sony Mobile forum) but besides new features, I really hope they'll fix it to it detects the phone properly - and quickly.

I've got lots of phones, from an old X10 to X10 mini pro, arc, neo, active, live walkman and two Xperia S's (one review model, one my own). I've also got an Xperia U for a bit.

Now all of the old phones detect very quickly, but the Xperia S's and sometimes the U struggle... often timing out. I really can't figure out what's happening, nor why on one occasion it even thought the Xperia S was its Japanese counterpart (forget the model number) and also showed up as 'Sony Ericsson' rather than Sony!

I am beginning to think there's an issue with the phone, rather than the software (even though the SW seems very buggy with all the sync problems mentioned above, yet I'd love to get into a position to be able to have sync problems!).

Has anyone else got this problem on the Xperia S? How do you fix it. Believe me, I've tried every combination of unplugging the phone, force quitting the app, rebooting the Mac, rebooting the phone, swapping USB port, resetting the powered USB hub.... but most of the time it's just reconnecting over and over and it working, after maybe 60 seconds of trying to detect!

It's infuriating, especially as there's a specific Android app for Mac to manage files, but that doesn't work with the Xperia S even though it supports MTP! I too hope ICS might fix this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halfmanhalfmachine:
On Lion with an Xperia P.

It syncs a few items from a playlist and then just sits there. It is a shame since the application actually looks quite good and has a lot of options unlike Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac.

Mine has also stopped checking for updates as it seems to think I have no internet connection.

I should have known that Sony are incapable for writing applications, this application works about as well as SonicStage.

To All, This is a new thread dedicated to trying to resolve the known problems with the current Hacked Radio/modems we all have experienced.

Please do not post already known issues over and over I will delete them. The Effort is to keep this thread clean and up to date with newly discovered fixes an/or new bugs.

Both Allgamer and I have a Note so any developer that needs something tested pm us and we will assist you as best we can

The issues we all seem to have experienced Are:

1. Dropped calls, this is a big issue... need to phone to never fail us..... especially for those who are business dependent.

2. Low up load speeds

3. Inconsistent data speed issues

4. Data dropping

5. Battery Drain/heat issues

If there are other specific issues that arise please post and I will itemize in the OP. Let's see if we can draft the assistance of a developer (s) who are excellent with radio/modem hacking. We are close to a final fix let's try to get across the finish line to 100% success.

Thanks to All who have to date helped in the quest of finding a perfect fix.

SPECIAL THANKS to All who paid the bounty..... kept your word....... and helped in any other way...... It REALLY warms the soul to know our community can come together and follow through on commitments......... Thank you all.... Oka1

Allgamer posted this for a fix for some : In case anyone still have the drop call issues, here's a good work around http://xdaforums.com/show...77&postcount=2

Wasn't there a few people who started a new bounty for the 100% properly working radio fix? Could the OP please add them to the first post and maybe keep a running total with names like the original bounty?

Also, are there any radio/modem developers who could give me a few tips on how to start working on this? I opened the radio files all gung-ho like but as they are binary I have no idea what's what in there :confused:

(Or, if a radio/modem developer is considering working on this, let me know and I would like to help and donate $20 if we are successful ;) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] timgt:
I just wanted to say thanks for making this happen first.

Second, I used the updated build.prop that was posted from the guy who figured this all out and then flashed my phone with the Telus radio even though I'm on T-Mobile. I am pleased to say this combo works PERFECT for ME.

I am getting download speeds of around 10Mbps and upload speeds are usually around 2 to 3Mbps. This is plenty fast enough. Also the data switching is instant between edge and 4g if I go out of a 4g area. My signal is also just as strong as other T-Mobile branded phones by looking at the dB level of the signal.

If you are having issues I would encourage you to try this combo. I am perfectly happy with my Notes performance. :D

@ timgt- any heat build up in the phone or burning battery life quickly??

What's your average battery life/day with lite, mod, heavy use?

Thanks and so glad this is working great for you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
i agree it's working pretty good for me as well

i'm still undecided which radio is better KID or Telus

they both seems o be doing great

in my end the limitations is mainly due the service provider, even on my T989 i can't get good upload speed, and download speed is the same on both my T989 and i717

so from my point of view, it's as good as it'll get

the only bug i frequently encounter is the data getting hung

which thanks fully the NoBar took care of that issue for me, if there is no signal for more than X amount of minutes it'll restart the radio for me to catch a new signal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pete720:
Silly question, I gues not all AT&T Notes are created equal? I tried flashing the KID modem and my Note was very unhappy. It started up but it was stuck in an unholy lag. I tried everything but it was not until I flashed one of the other 2 modems that it went back to normal. I am trying the Telus/build.prop combo and the download is a LITTLE better at just under 4Mps with still the lousy upload speed. I live in northern Delaware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Shouldn't have any lag in the operation of the phone. It is likely that the KID modem you are using was the original T-Mobile zip and not the modded one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pete720:
Hmm maybe I got the wrong one. Where do I find the "modded" KID?

EDIT: Nevermind I found it, you were correct sir I had the wrong one. I am downloading the one now that ends with "ATTNOTE" in the file name and give it another try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] timgt:
I don't notice any kind of heat issues with this device on any combo I've tried, however I don't play games for hours or anything.

As for battery life, it seems just a tad worse on battery with the build.prop modification and Telus radio but even with worse battery it is still the best life of any android device I've owned. With the data speeds I'm getting the battery life is an ok trade off.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] timgt:
Here is the one i used. Rename it from build.doc to build.prop first. Make sure you backup your original file too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Lakeshow423:
So just rename it, backup the original build prop then paste it in there with root explorer? Then reboot? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] timgt:
Yup. I used Es file explorer cause it's free but root explorer should work the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
You guys might want to check your speeds today ... I am getting some crazy good results. Don't know if they did some work in my area or what. I haven't done much work on this lately so it might be something on T-mobile's end. BTW this is the Blaze modem on the ICS leak tested at work. Consistently good upload speeds are what I find most intriguing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dhoang:
Holy moly, your results are insane. I will test the speed in my area and report back later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MasterKaiser:
Dang!!! compare today's downloads and uploads with 2 days ago!! definetly TMO put some steroids on their antennas here in Puerto Rico too! I'm running Saurom 7.1 with Blaze modem. First time I got those speeds here in PR. Yay!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kamranwpi:
Can this modem be used with ICS leaked Alapha II? I tried it, and I am getting insert sim card, where the SIM card is in there :(

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
make sure you phone is SIM unlocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] soapbox23:
I can sort of confirm the same...lately my internet speeds have been actually useable. sorry i don't have any screens but i just pulled about 5mb down and 1.5mb up in my house. usually my down speeds are higher and my up speeds are less than .20mb (this is with the less bars = higher down speeds anomaly)

I'm on saurom rc4a with the blaze modem btw. might have to flash the ICS rom to see if it works the same. maybe they're beefing up the antennas for the tmo note unveiling......:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
I think they are. Here's a strange tip. When doing your speed tests hold the phone in landscape mode with the volume rocker up. Make sure the base of the phone is not obstructed by your hand. Based on the teardown by roto one of the radio antennas is at the base of the handset and based on my tests I think it is for the uplink. When I hold the phone normally, my uploads deteriorate but when I hold the phone in landscape or even upside down, I have been getting consistently good uploads. Not ideal to rely on this but it helps explain some of the attenuation of 4g performance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] funziebear:
can someone share a mirror to the blaze modem for tmobile ??? i downloaded one but its not zipped and when i zip it it aborts on flash

When I try downloading thru my phone it only downloads to 8,726kb and stops

Hey all, just a quick update. Uploads have returned to anemic levels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MasterKaiser:
Here in Puerto Rico, still better than 2 days ago, downloads from 4.5mbps to 6mbps and uploads from 700kbps to 900kbps. Yesterday I had epic speeds...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Yeah. Yesterday was monstrous. I wonder if they released a network cap, boosted signal, or were testing another band in anticipation of the T-mobile Note release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] escabar:
I did notice better speeds yesterday as well (6.2mps down 256k up). HSPA almost everywhere I went. Now back to usual, pathetic levels...mixed HSPA or edge service depending on location...having to use diff modem in diff areas of So CA, I hope whatever TMo tested yesterday is turned on soon and left on!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] funziebear:
I wonder if something is being tested cus today first day ever since I first tried the mod I hit 2down and 1upload I'm in southern Cali
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tomin.fhl:
Yeah, I think we can put that in the urban legends box now. It's definitely something T-mob was doing.

Edit: Holding the phone normally definitely has an effect on reception. Hopefully T-mobile can address this with their version.

This is what happens with battery life when u don't touch ur note
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JeffSalter:
Im on GB (Saurom 7.1), in Atlanta, and the Blaze modem AllGamer posted has done best for me. The speeds arent as good as my t989, mainly due to reception i believe. What is interesting to me is that while outdoor reception is as good as my t989, indoor definitely takes a hit. In some places, I switch to edge only to get better reception and to preserve battery.

I have a question that I've seen differing opinions on. Does the ROM have any real tangible influence on reception? I've seen many posts that Saurom users are seeing the best reception, but from my understanding, this would mainly be a factor of the modem chosen. Any clarify?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] escabar:
Which modem is this? Is the the modem off of the leaked T-Mo Note???

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Understandable. Glad you were able to keep your Note. Seems like some stable TMo modem solutions are on its way.

Geez...17.9 mb down??? That's nuts!!! Even on my well massaged, unlocked, intl Sensation (Insertcoin ROM)...I only got 8-9+ mb down...3+ mb up (more than enough for me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AllGamer:
any stable modem yet for the Note?

mine is usable, just randomly cuts off, and need to be reconnected manually or with a 3rd party app, so it's great as a portable internet / 2nd phone

but not reliable enough as your only phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ChronoReverse:
I've been running TheUnofficial and the Blaze modem completely chokes (Wind Mobile in Canada). Super slow speeds and data gets cut off most of the time.

Flashed the VKL1 modem instead and so far it's been stable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Afishl1:
I'm on saurom 7.1 +att fix, blaze and build.prop replaced with tomlins on 30/month plan in West LA...

I don't have much of a complaint, while I may only get 3ish down on average(once saw 9), its been good enough for me to make calls to land lines and mobiles using Skype with prepaid 2c/min plan.

unfortunately i don't actually get 4g at home, but I'm fine with that as I use my wifi for now.

Ideally it would be awesome if I got 20+ down and could tether and not have to pay for home internet, but I'd prob use up the 5-8gb anyway pretty fast.

One thing that is a lil annoying though is that their coverage map shows 4g over my house, and very good strength at that, but I don't get it for some reason. Dead cell even confirms the lack of coverage and I tried to call tmo out on it, but they of course said they would only support their own phones.

I might go buy one from them and hopefully try to get it resolved before the 30 day trial period is up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] djstyles97:
I'm on the stock Rom with the KJ3 radio on WIND Mobile in Canada and generally get normal WIND Mobile speed. Sometimes I think the radio freezes cause not only does data stop working but text and calls stop too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] farfromovin:
The Sensation will top out around there as it's only an HSPA+ 21 device. The Amaze, GS2, and new Galaxy S iirc are the HSPA+ 42 TMO devices and they'll hit 20+ mb down in good areas. The TMO Galaxy Note should be a HSPA+ 42 device with the S3 processor and optimized software. Hopefully when it comes out with some tweaks the i-717 will pull those speeds too!

Personally, I'll use my Galaxy Nexus until the Tmo Note comes out :) But, I already got a 64gb microsd card ready for it :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jbhorse:
I think I'll wait for the Tmobile Samsung Note. It will come with the new 4.01 ICs instead of GB with the ATT phone according to here http://www.intomobile.com/2012/04/24/rumor-samsung-galaxy-note-coming-tmobile-usa/ .

Its being advertised as pentaband 3g/4g. I emailed them and they stated all i needed to do was insert my tmobile sim and i would be good to go, on tmobile's 3g/4g. It this is the same phone? I'd be interested in hearing about any issues now that you've had the phone for awhile longer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
tried again

Well, I finally decided to give it another try and just flashed the sgII ics modem. It's working great! DL speeds 4-7 and UL speeds .8-1- half of ATT on the UL, but twice the ATT DL speeds I was getting at home.

So, i may be switching to the monthly 4g plan on t-mo. It will be $7 cheaper and I will be getting unlimited data, the first 5gb at 4g speeds. ATT was capped at 2GB.

When the official modem comes out it will be even better!

I live in north Jersey!
