Rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bbobarino:
Try that setup hope this helps did wonders for me I was on the same boat as u. After flashing rom and radio press *#2263# and select automatic band wcdma don't force 1700 that made my data very unstable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
This. Also *#301279# and select 2 change then select 6 HSDPA/HSUPA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bbobarino:
What would happen if I force hspa+ in that menu

Is that the same as forcing 1700 band in the *#2263#?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] babymatteo:
Nothing really. I just get more stable data connection/speed with Release 6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eastbayarb:
The link to the modem doesn't work.

when you said,

" After flashing rom and radio press *#2263# and select automatic band wcdma don't force 1700 that made my data very unstable"

did you mean option [6] WCDMA ALL ?

So since it's a hardware issue, would it work if I took the antenna from the t989 or the upcoming Tmobile Note and put it in my Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rotohammer:
I have a T989 and swapped the main antenna lead to use the T989 antenna on the Note, it was hard to test but I didnt see much improvement. The antennas are physically different between the two units.

If I am correct, the real fix is to purchase the correct antenna. Since detuning the stock antenna with foil improves data throughput, I feel that this is the best solution.

I just switched to At&t last week as I needed international data for this month while I'm in Europe and so far my At&t speeds are half that of T-Mobile with the foil. I'll tweak when I get home, as I just flashed the CM9 rom so I have something to play with while I'm away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
So you think that a Tmobile Note antenna would be the only true fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eastbayarb:
Looks like the aluminum tape did the trick. I get 4g speeds at home and other places (still some bad spots, but that is to be expected). Thanks so much for all your help. The only gripe I have now is the battery life isn't so great, even with my 5400mah extended battery...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I have the foil tape installed, flapp's ics rom, one of the hacked modems- not sure which one and don't know how to find out(hint-hint), on tmo 4g monthly plan, and my download speeds are anywhere from 5-10 in north jersey. Upload not so hot- .3-.5 mbps. Same phone in NYC- really poor tmo speeds- less than 1 down- like .2-.3, and .02up. Same phone in same area on att lte blew me away. DL and UL in the red!!!

I don't have lte in jersey, so I went with t-mo for the cheaper plan. Doesn't work well in NYC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kellyra:
try this

im in va and i had the same problem if u dail *#2263# u will get options choose option 2 its WCDMA BAND PREFERENCE when u select that the u will see options from 1 thru 6 select 6 thats WCDMA ALL after that u will get better speeds it work for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dahprophit:
*#2263# > WCDMA > 1700

works for t-mobile

but on my straight talk tmobile sim i use WCDMA ALL and i get almost 15mbps down 4G
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] curgervending:
For about 1/2 an hour I got HSPA+42 download speeds!!

This is crazy. I have that AT&T Galaxy Note and I'm using it on T-mobile in New York. I installed the h0tw1r3 release 6 CM9 (unofficial) rom and the blaze ics radio (both from the AT&T Galaxy Note Development section of this forum) and was averaging about 4mbps on the download and about .2mbps on the upload. I was playing around installing different roms and radios combinations and got a lot of varying results but the unofficial cm9 rom with the blaze ics radio was by far my best results.

On yesterday, I installed the TeamWin Recovery (I originally had the non-touch clockword mod recovery on the phone), and installed the following 5 zip files in this order: darkside super wipe, h0tw1r3 release 6 CM9 (unofficial) rom (the developer actually recommends using TeamWin Recovey to install this rom), gapps (4/29/12 version), ics blaze radio, darkside cache wipe. All of a sudden I was getting download speeds as high as 18mbps and upload speeds as high as 3.5mbps (about what I was getting on my T-mobile Galaxy S2 - an HSPA+42 device!). To make sure it was real and not just a fluke reading, I went into the Google Play store and downloaded A 13MB app. It downloaded in about 5 or 6 seconds tops. That made me know it was real.

I decided to do a complete backup via TeamWin Recovery because I didn't want to lose the settings that got me to these speeds (after spending hours and days on this). After the backup, for no reason that I know of, the speeds dropped back to what they were (4mbps on the upload and .2mbps on the download). I tried doing everything again from the top to see if I could get back the high speeds but, unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce those results (disappointing).

However, I'm convinced that the AT&T Galaxy Note can get HSPA+42 speeds. We know in theory it should be able to do it based on the hardware (qualcomm dual core processor and the lte band 1700/2100 which can handle HSPA+) but it just was not happening for me (except momentarily as mentioned above). Perhaps when the T-Mobile Galaxy Note comes out (next month, we hope), a developer will be able to port the rom and the radio from it over to the AT&T Galaxy Note and get us stable HSPA+42 speeds (I don't plan to buy the t-mobile galaxy note after having already bought the at&t version). Furthermore, if T-Mobile goes thru with their plan to refarm frequencies 1900 for HSPA+ and 1700/2100 for LTE, then the AT&T Galaxy Note would be perfect on T-Mobile since it already has those frequencies.

If anyone has figured out how to achieve the high speeds on a consistent basis now, please let us know. Also if anyone wants to try what I did and let us know the outcome, it would be appreciated. Like everyone else, I do not take responsibility for anyone trying this and bricking their device. None of the files are mine. They are all in the development section of the forum. Your mileage may vary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] delacrow:
Had you tried this (from development thread)? Made no difference for me on miui rom, but I will try again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TJBunch1228:
The only variable in your setup that has any impact on data and speed is the blaze radio. I can't see how your recovery or ROM could have contributed to your crazy jump in speed. Maybe it was just a total fluke and the tower suddenly put out a ton of speed for a few minutes. I wish you could replicate it.

Either way, I agree, I think we'll get faster and more consistent speeds once a dev ports the tmo software over to us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] curgervending:
TJBunch1228,

I totally agree with you which is why it's crazy. I also know that you can get bursts of speed at times but I know this was not just a burst of speed. I got consistent download speeds in excess of 10mbps. The burst may have been 18mbps. Uploads were consistently over 2mbps. The burst may have been 3.5mbps. But I got the consistent speeds for about 45 minutes. I was actually surprised that after doing a backup, I reboot my phone and the speeds were gone and never came back. So I'm back to experimenting. I can't wait for the T-mobile version (not to buy the phone but to see if we can get the modem that may actually produce consistent fast speeds instead of this constant flashing and testing - it's getting stale).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] curgervending:
Update to my previous post

I'm starting to believe that the faster speeds I get (when I actually get them) are the result of T-Mobile testing HSPA+42 on the 1900 band. I'm thinking that my higher speeds are actually being achieved in the 1900 band and not the 1700/2100 AWS band.

T-Mobile has stated that they started performing small scale tests of HSPA+42 in the 1900 frequency on various towers across the country (as they prepare to refarm their network). I live in NY and drive a lot between Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan. I hit certain spots where my download/upload speeds are 12-15mbps / 2-3mbps. It lasts for perhaps a mile or less of travel then drops back to 2-5mbps / 0.1-0.3mbps. This happens without me flashing a new radio, without rebooting or doing anything to the phone. I found this out by performing internet speed tests on the phone as I travel around the city in my vehicle.

I'm persuaded that, as my phone hands off from one tower to another, my speeds are being affected based on whether or not T-Mobile has HSPA+42 enabled in the 1900 band at that particular tower. I certainly stand to be corrected. However, it seems logical to me that if I were getting the higher speeds in the 1700/2100 AWS band on the phone then I should be getting it consistently everywhere I go (which it isn't happening). T-Mobile has HSPA+42 on the 1700/2100 AWS band enabled all over the place where I live and work. When I had my T-mobile Galaxy S2 (an HSPA+42 device on the 1700/2100 AWS frequency), I was getting 12-18mbps / 2-3mbps (up / down) all the time no matter where I was in Brookyln, Queens or Manhattan. With my AT&T Galaxy Note on T-Mobile, I get those speeds at a few distinct locations and much slower speeds most everywhere else. Anyone experiencing anything similar (or different)? I'm curious to know.
[Galaxy Tab General] Atzigan:
Quite the interesting forum, a friend of mine recommended me here for all my Android needs. A brief story is as of last Sunday I'm a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. After 4 years of using the Iphone I decided to convert to Android :) So far so good, although still getting used to the OS. It looks fairly simple, and more modifiable than the Iphone 4 which is good.

Passing on to the issue.

Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-i717 Galaxy Tab

I already rooted the phone it was quite simple :D Although don't really know the full potential of it or what I can actually do. Is it only just for changing OS roms?

I've been lurking through the forums regarding those different OS roms I can add after rooting, specially to get rid of those pesky AT&T annoying apps.

But I haven't found a you could say, convincing one in the threads. and I don't know which ones are the good, popular ones with the lesser bugs that work good with the Galaxy Tab.

I would appreciate it a lot if you guys could lead me to the right direction.

Thank you very much!

And pardon me for my noobness :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Alfa Kenny One:
Hi peeps,

I have a strange problem. I have my xperia S from a telecom store KPN. So it came with the KPN Generic .62.

Now, that i bootloader unlocked my phone and have a Nl generic .73 installed, PPC and SEUS came with an update for .75.

The strange thing is that i can't update via PPC and SEUS. It both came with an error saying that my phone contains updated software, so it can not be updated from .73 to .75.

Anyone have this stange thing?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
You can't update with Sony's tools when you've unlocked the bootloader.

It confuses me cause my Arc did update even the bootloader was unlocked.
[Windows 8 General] edgex:
Microsoft thinks of the Metro UI as the Desktop, and the Desktop as an application.

I want to modify this way of thinking and put it back to how it should be.

I want to when you login, go to the desktop, I know there is already a registry tweak for this. And I want to add back a start button. But when you hit this start button I want to bring up the metro UI. But not completely full screen. I want to leave the taskbar at the bottom, so you can still easily switch between your open apps.

Doing this creates the feel of a full screen customizable Start Menu, rather than a whole new (crappy) interface we have to learn. It would make live tiles more useful in my eyes too. You could potentially even have the Metro apps work this way too, so you arent taken off the desktop into the new interface, but still interacting with it in a way both users and forseeably microsoft would approve.

This idea came when I was theming my own ViStart start menu, and my friend said he wished he could have a larger start menu that was more customizable, in terms of sorting and viewing. And this just sort of hit me.
[Windows 8 General] Greg2k:
While this certainly seems feasible with the Start page, there is no way around having Metro apps run in a visual state besides full screen, snapped, filled and portrait. Microsoft have stated that developers should only count on 1px boundaries around their apps and letting the taskbar stay on top would change this guideline, which I think is both against the point of Metro apps and too late to be added to the design guidelines.

But yeah, as an alternative to the current Start page it seems pretty cool.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
Really, I think Microsoft sees Metro UI as more of a Start Menu/new UI rather than a Desktop. Sure the Desktop is an application, but the Metro Start Screen was not supposed to replace the desktop, only replace the Start Menu with a more informative version.
[Windows 8 General] kretos:
That was my idea that i've posted on MS blog long time ago. Also unification of running applications lists (metro and desktop) would be fine. But now it's all too late. I think about switching to w8 for a while to see if i like it. I did that with w7 and vista with some scripts that sync applications data between partitions when systems were changed (newer files replaced the older) - this way i could use the same application with the same data on booth systems and after a while i've switched to w7 completely.
[Windows 8 General] edgex:
I know it's too late to have microshaft do it, but I'm sure it's something a third party developer could do, which is why I posted here, hoping someone could take a crack at it
[Windows 8 General] Proz00:
i heard that metro files are encrypted AES 256bit

so it wont be possible or soon

however its gr8 idea hope ms will adopted it

cos its metro really "hollow" looking for me and at the Caterpillar phase
[Windows 8 General] Sir. Haxalot:
The thing is that Microsoft needs to stop pretending that it's possible to make an UI that works well on both tablets and PCs. Metro works well on tablets but it is only a pain to use on a PC. Yes, I've used Windows 8 for about a month on my PC and my conclusion is that most tasks require more actions/time to complete than with regular desktop apps, especially when you need to use two separate apps.

What they need to do is a split of Tablets and PC and I feel that this suggestion is a good way to do it. Also, what they really need to realize is that it's a stupid idea to limit PC users to running 2 apps simultaneously per screen. The fact that they apparently doesn't see a problem with running everything in fullscreen is also a bit worrying. A good example of a task that can't be done in Metro is reading a PDF and at the same time writing in a word processor, because there isn't a way to run apps in 50/50 mode, only 70/30 which will make on of those apps a real pain to use.

I think they should do something like this, but make the start button only show 2-4 tiles initially (first group), then add a button that expands the menu to the whole screen. This would allow me to pin my most important (live) tiles on the start menu and give me a glance over it at time to time. I guess it would also be a good idea to be able to pin tiles in the taskbar and even if they mey not be fully live there is definitely enough space to display a number. This would be excellent for e.g. email and IM since they would always be visible. Of course Microsoft would also need to produce a whole new set of Metro apps for the desktop.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
They do, its called the All apps button and semantic zoom button at the lower right corner of the start screen. It is completely possible to have a UI optimized for both touch and traditional input devices and they've done it well. Tasks do not take longer, if anything it's shorter to open metro, right click on the screen, hit all apps and select and normal desktop program than it ever was to search for a program through millions of program groups in the start menu.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
lets keep the childish MS hate out of this forum shall we

indeed, im not sure how some people can make such sweeping statements like we all dont like it, or that no one can use it. I think its great and loth using my Office computer, its refreshing and quick, very quick!
[Windows 8 General] edgex:
Not sure what is quick, opening a photo with the metro app takes longer than loading photoshop CS6! and the interface is not fluid, you must leave the desktop to run another app, to get back, you have to either hit the windows key to hopefully get back to metro screen, then hit desktop, or if you know what you are doing, alt tabbing around. slow and not easy. and multi tasking, I don't even think I can have windows 50/50.

I will definitely use win8, but metro is not my bag of chips, it would make a much better start menu while taskbar is showing, then a whole user interface/system.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
if it is taking as long as PS to open up then I suggest you need to look at your computer because I have no delay at all in opening a photo, browsing through all of my sources for photos is fluid and very quick, opening photos independent of metro takes no longer than any other version of windows this century. But that is just one example.

use metro, aka, your new start menu, to hold all your important self updating apps. Within a fraction of a second I can check multiply email accounts, stock markets, PMs, what songs playing, my appointments coming up, if any apps are updating and the weather forecast, and that is just from a small handful of RP apps!

Win button, check it all, win button, back to work on whatever program im currently working on, it doesn't get much more efficient than that, and again, this is the RP, once more apps are available potential uses go through the roof!
[Windows 8 General] sinister1:
Yes, I support this idea; please hurry up and make it happen, I'm about to throw this POS out the window! This was not meant for desktops or non touch laptops, its a complete mess.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
Sorry, but go ahead and throw it out. You shouldn't be using the previews anyway if you hate metro. It's what they're trying to get feedback on. We won't miss you.

Metro is great with both mouse and non touch laptops (I use my non touch NetBook with downscaling on so I can actually use metro apps.)
[Windows 8 General] sinister1:
My opinions are my own views so weather or not I hate it doesn't give you the right to tell me to use it or not; who do you think you are talking to me like that? I'm not a child. And who cares if you miss me or not? What are you like 12 years old? I don't remember disrespecting you; so grow up and respect your elders.
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
You have me all wrong friend. In a blunt way I was stating that the previews are to gain some preliminary telemetry from metro. If you don't use metro, they don't get it. Moreover, metro is probably not going to be optional, so you'll continue to hate it anyway as per your previous statement. I meant no offense or insult by my previous statements and never mean any offense to begin with. Also please look at my profile before commenting on age, it looks silly when someone does that. Although I find it funny that you fly off the handle at a single post and then personally attack me, it's the internet and there are a lot worse people than me.

Also my statement is my opinion, so are you allowed your yet I should stifle mine?

Some food for thought.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
I still think there should be some competence test to see if a user should use it or not, it would save MS a lot of hassle in the long run and serious testers can then exchange ideas and opinions without the constant interruption from from people who just don't care to make a difference other than spread general FUD about something they know little about
