[HTC Inspire 4G] zlmitchell:
now i know they talk alot about the iPhone's on this page with the lens's but if im not mistaken... These lenses use sticker rings originally to attach to the phone. Which if you have a case you can attach to any phone.

Now i am not saying i have tried it, but it may be worth looking into.

If you look at the photos on the main page, you will see a Blackberry with them and a Google phone... so im pretty sure that it will work with pretty much anything!

Used to get maybe 60kB/s now its so much faster for 3g.

Must've been local tower fixes/upgrades rather than network vision.

[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Could be.. just slightly hopeful
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
From what I have read with Network Vision, your 3g speed would be at least 8 times faster than that speed test. My opinion is the same as yousefak, maybe a local tower fix.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
I believe they didn't actually upgrade 3g for the network vision.

Then again, 1600 kb/s is insane for 3G so they could have started a new 3g tech rollout. Unlikely though as i imagine they'd focus on 4g LTE only.

kb is different than kB
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Oops wifi lol...
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
you said you were getting 60kb/s...did you mean 60kB in your OP? If not, I stand corrected with that you did get a huge increase in speed going from 60kb/s to 270kB/s.

With what you wrote, you were getting 7.32kB/s (60kb/s) and now you are getting 270kB/s (2218.69kb/s) which would be a huge boost.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Yeah this is my kb/s
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Sorry my xda app freaked out
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
I was just confused because a speed of 60kb/s is so slow, I thought you meant 60kB/s. All makes sense now. For people that don't know, here is an example of a single speed test shown in kb/s, kB/s, and Mbps.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
kB not kb

[HTC EVO 3D] fr0st420:
You must be thinking of kbs not kb. 1600 kb/s is pretty much 1.6mb/s. Which is impossible on our 3g right now.
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
You must mean kbps :P.

Kbps = kilo bits per second

Kb/s = kilo bytes per second
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Bravo just look at the pics
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
kB is kilo Bytes
[HTC EVO 3D] southern87:
Obviously and /s is per second. Kthxbye
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
No.

kb/s = kilobit per sec

kB/s = kilobyte per sec

Just google kb vs kB
[HTC EVO 3D] :
This is true, but google would think your typing "kb vs kb" making the search useless. this is especially annoying when trying to google /b/
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
Lol that and Googling google
[HTC EVO 3D] Tilde88:
did you know that in Japan, the slowest 3G providers is a minimum of 2.4Mbits/s... That is basically USA's max 3g speed >.>

---------- Post added at 01:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

this guy is absolutely correct. capital B in bandwidth is bytes. lowercase b is bits.

I'm a PC Specialist, and I approve this message.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
can we just stick with the standard kbps and Mbps? lol hate it when the "B" is tossed in...causes me to have to do math. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:

[HTC EVO 3D] .Elite_The_King.:
Measure of data transfer speeds: kbps

Data transfer speed over the networks (including the internet) is calculated in terms of bits per second: kilobits (kb small case “k” and small case “b”). The higher the kbps i.e. more the bits transferred per second, more the speed, faster the network/connection. Here k stands for 1000 (103 )

1 kbps (kilo bits per second) = 1000 bits per second

1 Mbps (mega bits per second) = 1000 kilo bits per second.

1 Gbps (giga bits per second) = 1,000 mega bits per second.

ISP bandwidth and download speeds

The most common confusion caused by the similarity of KBps and kbps is when it comes to internet bandwidth and download speeds. People often complain that their ISP promised 512kbps connectivity but they are seldom able to download any file at 512 KBps. They fail to notice the difference in cases of the units and hence think their ISP is cheating them or offering them poor quality service. As mentioned earlier data transfer speeds are always calculated in terms of kilo bits per second (kbps) so an ISP connectivity of 512 kbps promises of transfer of at the max 512 kilo bits per second.

On the other hand, file size measure is always in Kilo Bytes and thus download speeds are always calculated based on how many Bytes per second are downloaded and hence Kilo Bytes per second (KBps). KBps and kbps are not interchangeable.

So an internet connectivity of say 512kbps can never achieve a download speed of 512 KBps. To calculate the maximum download speed of a “X kbps” connection, we need to use a simple formula as below.

Download KBPS speed = (Kbps value*1000) /8)) / 1024.

I.e. For a connectivity of 512 kbps

kbps value * 1000 = 512 * 1000 = 512000

512000 / 8 = 64000

64000 / 1024 = 62.5 KBps

Therefore theoretically an internet connection of 512kbps bandwidth can download at a speed of 62.5 KBps

If you don’t want to go through all the hassles of the above formula, just multiply the kbps value with 0.1220703125 to get the KBps value.

512 kbps * 0.1220703125 = 62.5 KBps. Simple!

Internet connectivity	Download speed (approx)

256 kbps.....................31.3 KBps

384 kbps.....................46.9 KBps

512 kbps.....................62.5 KBps

768 kbps.....................93.8 KBps

1 mbps ~ 1000kbps.......122.1 KBps

Download speed as approximate because they will vary (always reduce) by 15 – 20% due to network signal loss, computer hardware overheads etc. So for realistic, real world figures always reduce 15 – 20% from the computed KBPS download speeds

Now I guess the confusion of kbps and KBps has cleared away. Just remember when you talk in terms of network it’s always bites per second (bps) and when you talk in terms of storage and files its always Bytes per second (Bps). And next time you won’t complain when your 512 kbps connection does not give you download speeds of 512KBps because now you know why :)

[HTC EVO 3D] thos25:
Bloomington-Normal, IL, had had good improvements over the last couple weeks. Used to get around 60 Kb most of the day. every once in a while I would get 400-600 and I'd almost have a heart attack. about two weeks ago it started too be around 800 kb on a regular basis.

Too little too late for sprint though. I had already decided to leave them and had a galaxy nexus ordered. Went to t-mobile monthly 4g. Pay less per month and get about 2-2.5 Mb on the low end. Granted, not true unlimited, but I never went over 1.5	gig on sprint slow network anyhow. If I need more than 2 gigs I can bump up to 5 gigs and I'll still be just under the same price as sprint used to charge me.

Oh well. Maybe someday I'll go back. They did start to improve and all so I'm glad for that, but a full year at slower than dial up speeds sent me packing.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
I find the little flappy-doodle cover on the USB port on the Sidekick 4G to be somewhat annoying. I would just yank it off, but maybe when I sell it 10 years from now, the new owner would like to have it in place.

Has anyone taken the plunge and pulled the thing off? Does it look like you could put it back on with a minimum of duct tape?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
If you can pull it straight out, I think it'll pop free in a way that it can be shoved back in. There's just a little bulb on the end of the plastic piece where it enters the case to retain it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Right, that's my theory as well from the looks of it. But have you actually done it? I don't want to yank it off first as a way of finding out the theory is a little bit wrongish.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
I know it can get annoying popping it in and out whenever you want to plug it in, but it is there for a reason. They annoyance may be worth preventing crud from getting in there when it is in your pocket or something.

But yeah, the only thing I could think of has already been said, just pulling it off in hopes that you will be able to put it back in later.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
I don't think you're going to find anyone who's pulled it off to get a detailed report from. I'm going by having taken mine apart and seen what holds it in place.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] DuctTapedGoat:
Yes.

You can remove it on the SK4G safely IF.

(SAFE SAFE SAFE)

You open the case, and push it out from the inside. (Guaranteed to work)

(SAFE SAFE SAFE)

(RISKY RISKY RISKY)

Pull it out straight and it will remove and be able to be reinserted. You have to be sure that it is not cold (tension snapping) but not heated too much (stretch snapping). Just above room temperature is adequate. If it does break off inside, remove the bit inside, and trim the post so it can be comfortably reinserted as an unattached cover, or open the case, insert it and melt it so it reforms the bulb.

(RISKY RISKY RISKY)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wjcarpenter:
Yeah, I sort of had in mind your "safe" plan for pushing from the inside. Just reluctant since taking a phone apart is always a big pain. Looking at the case, though, I might not have to dive down too far and have too many screws lost in the carpet during the process. :-)

[Droid Eris General] anubis2k3:
Just want peoples input on this. The mic on my wife's Eris just stopped working recently. Not sure if its just dead or if it could be something else. I've tried flashing multiple roms (xtrsense, worksheds aosp gb, and something else I forget). On one from it worked the first call then nothing. On xtrsense it never worked. I don't want to just leave it at bad mic. Does anyone have suggestions as to other ways I can troubleshoot this problem? Any suggestions would be great. Thanx in advance.

[Droid Eris General] fizyplankton:
iv had that happen before. the first time it happened to my eris, it was before it was rooted (i think) and i was trying to use voice search but it said "audio error". i then went to androsensor (an app that monitors all sensors, including microphone) and where it normally has the decibels, it said "unavailable" or something to that effect. i gave the mic a few good whacks, killed all tasks, cleared all cache, etc, and it worked fine. that leads me to believe the diaphragm in the mic was physically jammed. the second time was definantly after i rooted it, as it is happening to me right now. when someone calls me, i can hear them, but they cant hear me. im not sure where the problem lies, as on my old moterola rival, i had the same problem, but the voice recorder app worked, so the problem there was things just not talking to each other (no pun intended). i havent gotten around to debugging the problem, as my phone has much more critical issues than that, but if i find a fix, ill let you know.
[Motorola Droid X2] MathiasKnight:
It's hopeless. You guys saved me on the bootstrap issue, but I couldn't help myself. I had to try to mod again. I CANNOT install any ROM with any form of loader or manager. So I download Cm7.1, copy it to a folder which I have designated use for all of my recovery files and is visible by recovery(Android recovery that it). When I go to open the ROM it initializes the boot but aborts because the "signature" isn't valid, or something to that effect. I've tried Clockworkmod recovery, which I can't even find when the time comes(its a blank folder now instead of bringing me into the program), and I've bought the Bootstrap Loader form market, none of which create something I can recall in Recovery. I don't mind spending money on apps, in fact I enjoy giving back, but I think maybe its time to cut my loses with this and just stay rooted and happy with my Gingerbread. Any Idea's?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
It says the signature is invalid... That's interesting but it is beyond me sorry :(
[Motorola Droid X2] MathiasKnight:
No worries man, thanks for the info anyway. Do you know where I can find a list of the bloat apps? I'm sure I'll find it soon, but I figured I'd ask..
[Motorola Droid X2] nitroglycerine33:
Most likely a bad download.
[Motorola Droid X2] Skelente:
First problem I see is you're using the Android recovery, instead of ClockWorkMod recovery, which is why you're getting the "signature invalid" error.

Second issue (maybe) is if you are extracting the CM7 zip (or any other roms) vs copying the zip file directly to your phone. Furthermore, when you're installing a ROM through BSR, you are not going to use the "apply sdcard:update.zip" option, you need to select "choose zip from sdcard"

Third issue is you cannot use *any* time of manager (ROM manager or otherwise) with the DX2. Unfortunately our bastard of a phone won't use anything except the System Recovery specifically formatted for it. I would suggest SBF'ing back to 2.3.4 and following c21johnson's system recovery guide to a T. If you're trying to install CM7, all you'll need to do at this point is copy the zip to your external SD card (and I would suggest redownloading the ROM at this point, just to be safe) and follow the install guide. Again, you *cannot* use Android's Recovery to install any ROM, you must use BSR. After you install CM7 (if it's successful ;) ) you'll need to install the cm7 recovery included in the cm7 thread. If you're wishing to install nitro's 2.xx eclipse you'll need to SBF to 2.3.4 and upgrade to 2.3.5 using this guide.

Hope this helps!

Once again sir, you are so very right. I wasn't grasping that Bootstrap Loader is an app UN-to itself. That is the only thing was lacking...Thank you much. Are you a developer?

[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
As for CM7, I would recommend finding the CM7DX2 post in the Development section and follow the guide I wrote for the original post (OP).

For SBF, rooting, and making a nandroid backup, follow each of the posts in my signature.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Did you download all the files from A Droid X2 forum? If you use any other files meant for other devices, nothing will work. For the DX2, you need the bootstrap recovery and the CM7 specifically for the DX2. When you get the bootstrap recovery, it comes as a .apk file. Just place it on your phone and install it like a normal app. Once installed, you will see it in your app drawer labeled "system recovery." To get into it, open the app, select the first button "Install Recovery" and hit ok when it tells you install was successful. Then select the second button "Recovery Mode." Your phone will reboot in a few seconds and put you into recovery mode. Once there do what was mentioned above and install zip from SD card. Navigate to where your CM7 zip file is and install.

It is always recommended to wipe data and cache before flashing which can be done in bootstrap recovery. Also a good thing to do is to backup all your apps with Titanium Backup from the market.
[Motorola Droid X2] MathiasKnight:
Sorry about that, I must have been excited. Unfortunately I spoke too soon. Either that or I'm not meant for this, which I hope is not the case seeing that I'm getting my degree in IT. I finally get bootloader, with ROM and GAPPS placed accordingly(I opted for Eclipse). When the zip is finished uploading and I see confirmation that all was installed correctly, I begin the reboot......and it takes new to an unactivated Droid X2. I've created nandroid after nandroid, with different methods and different ROMS, and I either land there or with a signature error, even in bootstrap. I'm gonna try one more time before I hang up my guns. Maybe.....
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
you should be able to activate

running eclipse

with my D2G, I got the activation screen, sometimes after flashing roms

and just activated

edit: why are you creating nandroids?

you don't need to keep making more, unless you have new data you want to save and then data is only good for that rom
[Motorola Droid X2] MathiasKnight:
Thanks for the input everyone, and I've actually succeeded this time....really. Its turns out that I had to change some of the permissions of the zip before I tried to flash. Lucky me....now some sleep
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmgill:
Hey Guys..

I recently received a refurbished Atrix 4g as a warranty exchange and everything was working fine for a while. Then I decided to unlock the BL and try a few of the ROMs out there. No issues with the flashing part, but now I get random shut downs maybe 10-15 times a day. I have tried multiple thing without success so far so if you have any idea what could help please let me know how to do it.. How can I adjust the CPU/voltage settings on the phone (might work..?)

The phone does not shut down/restart while I am charging or it is in use. Seems to be only in sleep/idle mode

Types of shut downs:

1. Phone shuts off and I have to pull the battery so that it will turn on (green light blinks every few seconds while it is off even without notifications).

2. Phone shuts off and I can get it to turn on by pressing the power button (same light situation as above).

3. Phone shuts off but immediately turns back on and boots up fine.

4. Phone shuts off but immediately turns back on but rather than booting up shows the red text error "Unreachable bootloader error 0x00000004" (green light lit dimly). Will restart fine once I pull battery and reboot.

What I have tried so far:

1. Flashing different ROMs with different kernels.

2. Replaced battery.

3. Read a million posts on issues somewhat similar.

Thanks for any help!
