[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raptir:
I'm having a couple issues with my data connection and was hoping someone could help. First, my phone keeps cycling between 3G (UMTS) and HSPA, even while I am actively using a data connection (installing an app, loading a webpage, etc...). Is that the proper behavior for the phone? I only started noticing it once I flashed AOKP (and now KingCobra 1x) but I assume that is because they both have stock 3G/H/4G icons instead of AT&T's 3G/4G/4GLTE icons. I understand that while idling the connection may move between UMTS and HSPA, but I assume that when downloading or loading a webpage it should stick to HSPA+.

Second, I am seeing very poor speeds no matter what radio I use. I performed a few speed tests outside with 5 bars of signal (-79db) on HSPA+ and the highest speed I saw was 3.0 mbps (average of 1-1.5 through my tests). My coworker with a Galaxy S III (AT&T as well) performed a speedtest in the same place and saw speeds of 6-7 mbps on HSPA+. We do not get LTE here (Philadelphia).

I have tried the AT&T 2.09 radio, 2.20 radio and the O2 2.29 radio and receive similar speeds on all of them. Does anyone have any suggestions of how to diagnose this issue? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area5x1:
I have the exact same issue, my phone cycles between UMTS and HSPA constantly which results in data not working for a bit when it switches.

Are you on AT&T? I'm on StraightTalk (using AT&T's network) using CleanRom 4.5, not sure whether this is a HW/ROM or network issue yet. Using 2.20 radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raptir:
Yes, I'm on AT&T (not straighttalk, regular old AT&T). I'm currently using KingCobra but I had the same issue on AOKP. I was told that it's normal for it to switch between UMTS and HSPA, but it doesn't seem normal to do so when you're actually downloading something.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area5x1:
As long as it's not affecting your data it should be fine.

It affects my data though as my webpages don't really start loading until about 3 seconds after I press enter. It's not that the network is slow, it's that my phone literally doesn't start downloading data until 3 seconds after I press enter. When it starts downloading data the webpage loads up fast enough.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MistaButters:
My phone was doing that with CR so I flashed the stock AT&T symbols and the AT&T 2.20 Radio. It doesn't show that it is switching anymore.

However the stock wifi tether doesn't work with the AT&T Icons, even with the mod.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area5x1:
Use Network Signal Info to see if it's still doing it. It might be and the AT&T symbol is just hiding it.

Mine will switch from UMTS to HSPA to HSPA+ constantly.

[reserved]

this space is reserved. i'm working on making ubuntu more functional and will be posting the how-to's here as i go

Changing root password for ssh login

remember to change the root password. type

sudo passwd root

Speeding up VNC

this helps but i can't be too sure. i tried streaming video but still a bit choppy.

using nano to edit the init.sh script in the root folder

nano /root/init.sh

look for the line that says

vncserver :0 -geometry $REZ

and add -deferupdate 10 to the end like this

vncserver :0 -geometry $REZ -deferupdate 10

(Explanation)

-deferupdate time

Time in milliseconds, to defer screen updates (default 40).

Deferring updates helps to coalesce many small desktop changes

into a few larger updates thus saving network bandwidth.

lowering this should help with updates since network bandwidth isn't a problem. I tried lowering this to 0 or 5 but it seems it makes the screen try to refresh faster then it can draw causing weird choppiness when on youtube.

compressing local vnc connection with ssh

this command below compresses the traffic from port 5900(vnc) to port 5901. should help speed up vnc

ssh -C -L 5901:127.0.0.1:5900 -N -f -l root localhost

I'm not sure if in this case this helps or not. Reason: what this does is compress the information going from one place to another, which requires more CPU. besides on a local environment i don't think it helps but i gave it a try anyway.

(Explanation)

-L 5901:localhost:5900 : Specifies that the given port on the local (client) host is to be forwarded to the given host and port on the remote side. Here you are using port 5900 on the localhost to be forward to localhost on the 5901 port.

-N : Do not execute a remote command i.e. just forward ports.

-f : Requests ssh to go to background just before command execution. Requests ssh to go to background just before command execution. Once password supplied it will go to background and you can use prompt for type commands on local system.

-l root : root is the user to log in as on the remote machine (localhost).

localhost (127.0.0.1): Remote system with VNC server
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] nadams:
Running Ubuntu on the Note is pretty awesome.

A few things I noticed:

- For some reason the d key in gnome was set as a shortcut to minimize all windows. (I tried to typed sudo but realizing now you are already root because the shell prompt has a # symbol - old Ubuntu habbits)

- apt-get doesn't work "out of the box" you need to add /sbin to your path something like:

PATH=$PATH:/sbin

Throw that in your ~/.bash_profile

This is because it's trying to run a program in /sbin but since it's not in your path it crashes.

Also I noticed that many VNC clients don't work well with an external mouse. Jump Desktop seems to work very good with an external mouse (non-free).

Also - since I have a 32GB class 10 SD card I put this on there instead of the main memory. If you want to do this you have to edit this line in the script:

export kit=/sdcard/ubuntu

to

export kit=/sdcard/external_sd/ubuntu
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] x3maniac:
thank you for your input to get ubuntu working on internal sd card and path.

as for the "D" key. i remember having to change a shortcut using dconf-tools.

unfortunately i bricked my note by flashing something to the wrong partition. (seriously typo) and havn't been doing anything more with this ubuntu.img. but i will continue to host the file for anyone who needs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note] nadams:
Do you think you could post some instructions on how to resize the img disk? I looked in the linked thread and he talks about how to set it up but I don't see anything about resizing it. One of the reasons why I am asking is because there doesn't seem to be enough room for a release upgrade:

The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 869M free space
on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 69.2M of disk space
on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former

I tried to run fdisk -l on ubuntu.img just to check out the partition table and I get this error:

Disk ubuntu.img doesn't contain a valid partition table

Edit: doh - I should of realized that a raw image file wouldn't have a partition table. So to resize:

dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=7168 >> data.img
yes | e2fsck -f data.img
resize2fs data.img
yes | e2fsck -f data.img

Though if you are paranoid you can leave off the yes.

Please note - there are tutorials out there that talk about using cp - this is a bad approach not only because you have to copy the files (this is slow) but some of them don't use the parameter to copy the attributes!

However, this presents a problem of why these Linux images are usually only 3.5GB. Fat32 can only have a file up to 4GB. So if you resize - you will need to format your SD card to ext3. Though exFAT should work - I don't know if Android supports that. I suppose that we could separate the image into different mount points - but eventually I think you will hit the 4GB limit.

Edit 2:

This is more frustrating than it needs to be. So I attempted to format the SD card as ext3/4 - Android refused to automatically mount it (even though it mounts system partitions with ext4). So I'm pretty sure in the Android subsystem it has a

mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

. In any case I tried several applications from the app store to add compatibility - with little success. I managed to get NTFS auto mounted at boot - but Android refuses to read the apps from an NTFS sd card (which I have a feeling would be the same with ext4 if I could get it mounted).

So at this point I am trying 2 partitions: most of the SD card is FAT32, and the second chunk will be ext2 for Ubuntu.

Edit 3:

2 partitions are working great. Just altered the script to mount the partition instead of mounting the file. To be honest I think it's a little faster on a separate partition.

Edit 4:

After upgrading System Monitor no longer sees two cores. I am looking into it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tortel1210:
As you all know, the time in recovery mode is always 1970. This is due to the fact that the RTC is never written to.

Why?

Due to how to CDMA works, and I guess some quirks with the 8960 platform, writing to the RTC will cause the modem time to get out of sync with the network, killing the modem.

From my experience, it takes an hour or more for this to happen, but no matter what you do after it happens, your modem is useless as long as RTC writing is enabled.

There is a line in the board-8960-pimc.c that enabled writing (This one) that controls writing.

TL;DR - Saving the time to the phone's internal clock all the time messes stuff up.

Despite these quirks, if the RTC was written to, and further writing is disabled, it works fine and you have the correct time in recovery, and if you boot in airplane mode.

Attached is a kexec kernel for CM10, which will write to the RTC. Just flash the zip, and use your phone like normal for a few minutes (15min max), then reboot again - and viola! Time in recovery.

You can verify it by running 'adb shell date' while in recovery - it should say the current GMT time

Don't use this for extended periods of time

Note: You need CWM v5+ for this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
Has anybody risked this just to have the date and time in recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Upstreammiami:
Another reason why twrp is better smh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tortel1210:
There is no risk...

And you do realize that without a cell connection, your phone uses RTC, which is stuck at Jan 1970?

smh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdogg836:
I think that he misspoke, we already know what the limitations are by using this, and I think that losing the modem entirely is a pretty big issue. Would be interesting to see if one of the awesome devs on this site come up with fix that even the companies could use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Max_Pain:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] franknozly:
So I'm wondering, CDMA is not the same as 2G/3G and 4G LTE right? Does that mean phones that aren't using CDMA networks can use this fix without any problems?

Hello people I need the experience/knowledge of a comunications/respective engineer (because I haven't started my comunications course yet.... Will be in about 1 week :D) .... As I can see the phone ne signal contacts are on the sim/mmc cover... So basicaly for most of the people the contacts must have worn out of like this (yhe black line you can see on the contacts plastic has been exposed )

View attachment 1273595

So basicaly my question is that can I apply some solder in that area to make allow the pins to make proper contact... without this modification making my chances of exposure to rf radiation increase by hell of a lot increasing health risk (also without deteorating quality of reception further) :p and possibly could I increase the side of this antenna by attaching small copper strips on both the copper contact :D thank you.. If I get a green signal from anyone.. I will mod my antenna and make a how to :D
[Desire HD General] gtramt1:
i think you wont do it any better, because this surface is already optimised for power of transmitting, so actually any wires could make even worse signal...

you could try maybe soft scratching of your pins with keys or coin.
