I installed Skype the other day, and could not hear myself on the test call. Speaking directly into the mic did not help. I can record voice notes in Evernote with no problem. I can also use Google voice search without issue. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to adjust the volume in Skype that I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] nethol:
On my htc one x the same

My contacts tell me all the time that they can't hearme or hearme very low. I can't found any mic volume settings in app

Is there a way to increase sensitivity of the DVP cellular radio via the Engineering Mode? While other phones are able to pick up signal when in low coverage area, the DVP will show No Network Found and will not pick up signal even if brought back to a well covered area.

This is the 3rd replacement unit that exhibit this symptom, to I have to assume most of teh DVP have that issue (This is a T-Mobile DVP)

Thanks
[Venue Pro General] heineken78:
yes!

##634# for Eng.Menu, tap on black,

"qwertyuiop" via phisical keyboard.

In new menu choise "RD test" then "RF Power Control". Increasing the value will make signal stronger. "Slider power" means how much it will decrease when keyboard is open.
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
Thanks for the tip. Although I do not see exactly the wording in RF Power Control, I assume what you are referring to is WCDMA comp. and GSM comp.?
[Venue Pro General] fubag:
hey did you notice any difference after changing the values around for WCDMA comp. or GSM comp.?

i noticed it was around 18 for WCDMA and I randomly changed around numbers but didn't really see a huge difference...
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
Mine was set to 16. I changed it to 20 but did not notice any difference. I tried to find more information online regarding this setting, but could not find any.

What carrier is yours?
[Venue Pro General] heineken78:
Im dont have my DVP in hands (its currently at jtag investigation)

But I remember in RF Power Control was the value something of "80"- this is amplifier power to built in antenna and value "-70" of slider, so when slider is open it makes antennna longer and doesnt need amplifier.
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
It would be interesting to find out what values other owners of DVP have for WCDMA Comp. and GSM Comp.
[Venue Pro General] Xodium:
I ditched my Venue Pro because I live in a really terrible service area, and the phone attenuates like no other. I can get 5 bars of EDGE and it drops to No Service if I even touch the phone. It's crazy.

(If I do the same with it on 3G, it'll drop to EDGE.)
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
I have the exact same issue and was hoping something could be tweaked via EM. Dell Support is useless. Either no calls are returned when promised, or if a replacement device is sent out, it will exhibit the exact same problem
[Venue Pro General] heineken78:
Just choise correct: WCDMA or GSM in one option and increase power level to 100 or higher. Youl see difference.
[Venue Pro General] weatherx:
t-mo version DVP:

WCDMA comp=16

GSM comp=80

slider comp=-70
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
Thank you for sharing this. Mine has the exact same values. Moving them up or down does not show a significant improvement.

I assume you have good coverage?
[Venue Pro General] HRQ.SLV:
I also have the same values, my DVP is unbranded.

In my area sometimes I have bad coverage, increasing the GSM value didn't help.

I do miss my TP2...!
[Venue Pro General] Ganondolf:
when i press on RD test i get a input box comes up? is there some code I am suppose to put in to get to the next menu?

I have a unbranded UK DVP.

thanks

dont mine me, just looked back to the em thread and got the code
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
The code is: *#6336#
[Venue Pro General] zdravez:
Hi all,

I have the unbranded version of the DVP and my values are as follows:

WCDMA comp.: 4

GSM comp.: 50

Slider comp.:50
[Venue Pro General] fubag:
I have Mobilicity up here in Canada.

Switched my WCDMA comp from 18 to 150 and I actually noticed a difference indoors where I generally don't get much reception.

One thing I noticed is bumping up the WCDMA comp past 100 decreases the time the phone takes during boot-up in finding service, it caught my reception much quicker, and although the signal strength itself wasn't much higher it was at least stable but there!

Positive results for me so far!
[Venue Pro General] claudef:
Unfortunately, no change for me increasing this value. Glad it worked for you. This is too bad because the DVP is really a nice and functional phone (once you get the GSM to stick)
[Venue Pro General] mofotech:
I just saw these settings. I got Tmobile service monthly 4G. Anyone else know anything about these settings? I am trying to wonder if I tweak any of these will it help me stop losing service when I enter commercial buildings and offices.
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
I'm on Mobi here too and actually live in a place where the signal is quite weak... will definitely be able to test if there is any effect for the next few days.

Here's something strange. For the wCDMA value, if you go pass 127, when you re-enter the EM app, the value is actually a negative number. E.g.

Entered number | Actual registered number

150 -> -106 (after reopening EM or rebooting)

140 -> -116

130 -> -126

128 -> -128

127 -> 127

120 -> 120

I'm maxed out at 127 (from 16) now and will report back if I notice a difference in signal strength
[Venue Pro General] fubag:
ye i got Mobi too, and I notice the same thing lol
[Venue Pro General] petard:
This is what mine was set it. I'm going to try bumping WCDMA to 16 and GSM and slider to 100.

It's because it's a signed 8-bit value, which is only able to contain the numbers -128 to 127. Going past in either direction loops around.
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
wCDMA at 127 doesn't seem to make much difference. I do notice a tad stronger signal as it tends to hang on to a weak signal a little longer.. but minimal difference enough it totally could be a placebo effect.

Setting slider on 0 makes a more noticeable difference though. I always see my phone dropping signal momentarily when I use the hardware keyboard in a weak area before, but now, the signal doesn't seem to drop! At least one problem fixed :cyclops:

Hi all,

Thank you everyone in advance for your help!

I've read that the 3 umts bands on specs are 850, 1900 and 2100

The only sim I've got is from t-mobile. Now I own this unlocked captivate glide which I love, but I'm not sure if it will work.

on HTC there used to be different radio firmware, are there any available for Glide?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oldnoob:
From something I remember reading not long ago, most of the radio controller chips in high end phones are capable of the 8 primary umts bands. The problem is in the antenna and frequency filters in the phone. Doesn't matter how capable the radio is if it doesn't have a way of getting the data in or out.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] balamu96m:
Hi all galaxy 3 users, i have got a good news for you people !!

After being inspired by the ICS style Settings for Experia X8 for CM7(GINGER BREAD),i decided to do something like that for g3 with froyo.

I'm not an expert or something like that but a learner and a beginner. I googled, got clues from the above mentioned thread, played with the 'xml' files of Settings.apk and finally found the way !! :D

I have completed modding the whole MAIN screen of settings and added new icon for the app !..............Interiors are the same. They will be modded and released in the next update.

DOWNLOADS

(modded main-screen only):

Without Unlock Settings: http://www.mediafire.com/?4y6w66dk43z7o50

WITH Unlock Settings: http://www.mediafire.com/?rbhjarq8aua3r28

Install as Update.zip !!

Unlock settings screen shots:

Here is are the screen-shots :

Here is a look of the original settings menu of ICS:

I certainly do not know how make the on/off icons appear on side, but can make other things similar to that !!

One known bug is that, both SECURITY and LOCATION SERVICE point to the same screen.It is because Location and Security settings are in same screen. I'll try make same changes for it.

I will complete modding the INTERIORS and post it in the next update !!

I have used aarrun's Perfect ICS theme in the screen-shot !

Post your views and opinions about this !!!:)

[Nokia Lumia 900] kirdroid:
I have preordered the lumia 900 and currently using an iPhone 4s. I want to use both iPhone and Lumia 900, but the rep says to use Lumia 900 I need a LTE data plan. This is ok with me but he says I can't switch sims with iPhone whenever I want because the LTE plan doesn't work with iPhone. This is really stupid in my opinion, why can't they just have one stupid data plan which works across devices and I can easily switch SIM's. I do understand having different plans for LTE devices, but it should be backward compatible with HSPA devices. Meaning if I have a LTE data plan, I should be able to take the sim and put it in any device and have the data working (including iPhone). So now whenever I switch sims between iPhone and Lumia 900 I need to manually change my data plan every time to get data working.

I'm just hoping that when I get my lumia I can just put the iPhone sim and get data working on the Lumia 900. I don't care if I don't get LTE since we don't have AT&T LTE coverage in Seattle anyway.

Anyone else in similar situation and what do you think? I keep changing phones between iPhone, Android and WP7, so keeping just one device is not an option :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] aimfire72:
It should work, but you need an LTE plan in order to get LTE on the Lumia. If you put the sim in the iPhone you will only get 3G/faux G speeds. I haven't tried it with the iPhone, but I swap the sum from my LTE Galaxy Note with my GSM Galaxy Nexus and it works fine. I see no reason why it wouldn't work with iPhone too.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kirdroid:
Yeah I know it works with other phones but iPhone requires to have an iPhone data plan. Nothing special about this plan but just iPhones have separate data plan. So if you have an iPhone data plan you can just take the sim and put on any device and it works(except LTE phones). But if you have the regular 3G data plan or LTE plan and put that sim in iPhones it doesn't work. AT&T treats iPhone devices differently in terms of data plans.
[Nokia Lumia 900] falconeight:
Att will charge you a prorated charge every time you switch from one to the other. Its annoying.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kirdroid:
True that ... Lot of inconvenience. May be the European Lumia 900 should be a better option for me. No LTE and don't have to worry about switching data plans.
[Nokia Lumia 900] aimfire72:
Yeah it is stupid how they have a seperate plan for iPhones, should just keep it simple and have one that will work with any phone. Maybe once LTE iPhone comes out, they'll do just that.
[Nokia Lumia 900] falconeight:
They do it with 3g and let phone as well. It sucks and pisses me off because the cost of the plans are the same. If I go from a iPhone data plan that cost $25 to a let plan that costs $25 why in hell do I have to pay prorated which ends up being a double charge? Its stupid
[Nokia Lumia 900] kimck99:
My apology for being a bit off topic to the original post but I've been searching to see if/when LTE will be availabe in Seattle on AT&T. I've check Google but I can't seem to find information to their rollout plan. Perhaps the fact that there doesn't appear to be readily available plan indicates that it may be a while for Seattle. Might anyone have some insight or read something somewhere?

Thanks and again my apology for being off topic. I saw this thread with LTE and Seattle so thought I ask here.

Best regards.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kirdroid:
Yes it is not going to happen any time soon .. Earliest will be till end of summer and this is what AT&T rep told.

My guess is AT&T will try to roll out LTE in all major cities before the next iPhone releases. They wouldn't want to be at a disadvantage to Verizon when iPhone 5 launches with LTE.
