The best thing he can do is have a basic APN w/o the "Proxy" line input (many people on ST report the Proxy messing things up). Theres nothing you can do to fool around in the settings. If you're connected to HSPA+, that's the most speed you're gonna get.

You can try other radios if you want,

which does not require that you root

, only unlock the bootloader. The phone can be relocked later to save warranty if needed. There's no guarantee that the radio changes will offer better speeds, as there's no "perfect" radio. Different people have different results with them. Don't expect to flash another radio and quadruple your speeds or something.

Overall, I'm not really surprised about 1mbps. If you're in a populated area, AT&T can get really bogged down by a lot of users. It really depends on the market and what the network saturation looks like. It also depends on your signal strength.

Here in the suburbs of Seattle, I can do about 1.5mbps to 2.5mbps down on HSPA+, depending on the signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mamoda:
thank you kindly for your info, he just asked if we rooted it will it make it faster and i told him that it will make the phone faster and more responsive if he tweaks it right possibly but not the speed of the net connection
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Rooting alone does

absolutely nothing

to increase speed of anything. Rooting gives you administrator access to the phone and lets you modify system files, and use applications that require root access.

Unlocking the bootloader lets you install custom ROMs, which can let you tweak things and potentially speed up your phone.

I would never advise rooting a phone for someone. Unless they're capable of understanding the pros and cons of rooting and then

doing it themselves

, their phone should not be rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mamoda:
thanks for the info, ill let him know what we should start looking into and take it from there. you have been a great help thanks again!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
OK. So here after having some time to sit down after work to get a full idea of what is going on.

I have 2 different ROMS with zips to flash. One is a stock 2.3.4 rooted....the other is ParanoidAndroid CM9 with everything needed to run it.

2.3.4 has caused my phone to read the SD Card as _ExternalSD as a folder.

When on the phone through Astro or through ROM Manager I can find and view the ZIP files on my memory card.

I flashed CWM via NVFlash and CWM is installed on the phone but the issue that comes up is that when I navigate to the _ExternalSD folder and open in within CWM it only has a data folder and all other folders are missing and the ZIP file that is in the root of my SD card is no where to be found.

What can I do??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Don't navigate to that folder. In CWM, your external is simply just that, your external. So when you go to "Install zip" always pick from "choose from external" or however it's worded. It isn't in your internal in that folder that's called _ExternalSD... think of that like more of a shortcut on your ineternal sd card to get to your external sd more easier in file exporers.

So once again, in CWM go to flash/install zip, and choose external SD and it should be there. _ExternalSD is just a quick shortcut for file managers to locate your external.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
That isn't the issue. I chose install zip from SD Card....It brings up a list of all of my folders. I have a zip in the root of my SD and it doesn't show up. I have the other zips in a download folder....That folder will not open. None of the other folders will open. The only folder that WILL open is the folder called _ExternalSD........When I open that folder it brings up the SAME list of folders but no ZIP shows up in the root of that folder and when I open my download folder it shows a data folder in it and no files or ZIPs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
Nothing???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
What do you mean though the folder won't open? Do you get some sort of error or something?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
When I boot into CWM and go to install from SD card and what not it brings up the folders that are in the root of my SD card.

There is a ZIP file in the root that does not show up in CWM. My other ROM is located in my download folder.

If i go to the download folder i see and select it the screen blinks and goes to the same list. The folder does not open.

If I go to my ExternalSD and the only folder that shows inside there is a data folder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Maybe it's a corrupt or incomplete zip file. Hmm have you tried formatting your external at least? Not via your phone but format with an adapter directly to your computer.

Weird problem, but trying to help as much as I can.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
Yeah it is a super weird problem. I can try to format the SD card and see what happens.

I don't see that working but I am going to give it a shot but any other ideas on what it could be i'm down to check into.

My last G2x was rooted fine cracked the screen and ended up getting another G2x and now it won't root. LOL super frustrating. I've rooted so many and this one is just being a pain lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
So far reformatting is not working. Its not doing anything. I'm so dumbfounded as to what is going on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
Try a complete nvflash again? With clockwork 5.0.2.0?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
How would I do that? I thought about trying that but I can't seem to be able to get it to reflash it.

How do I boot the phone up so the NVFlash will work. When I plug it in NVFlash cannot find the device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spectral8x:
Alright so I think I've figured out the issue now I just need to come up with a solution.

ROM Manager says I am on 5.0.2.0 but when I boot into CWM it shows I am actually on 4.0.1.5.

So I need to flash 5.0.2.0......Issue is here tho that I cannot flash it through ROM Manager and I can't seem to get NVFlash to work in flashing 5.0.2.0.

Can anyone lend some advice on that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justjackyl:
Don't use ROM manager.

I really want to flash a JB rom but i keep seeing that other software needs to be reinstalled. Just wondering if there was any JB rom that is close to factory as far as installation? EX. AT&T newest ICS OTA update. I used a modified version but installation went very smooth. I see so many roms but some issues with them an other things that need to be reinstalled.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Flashing any firmware on your phone has inherent danger to it. If you feel nervous about, just wait until att pushes the official JB update. If you don't want to wait, just do a lot of research first.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ViciousLSD:
Screen flicker?

I was scared to flash a rom on my phone so i decided to flash my kindle with a JB rom. It worked great minus that i had to reinstall all my apps and my data got erased. So my question is, now that i know how to install a rom and Gapps... is there anyway to flash a rom without loosing all my data? What do i use to update this info?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
Purchase Titanium Backup Pro from the play store. Great app. You can back up all of your apps and app settings there (dont backup/restore the system settings though) and then when you flash the new rom, install titanium on that, and restore the backup
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ViciousLSD:
Is that the only program that does that? How about astro?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
Go Backup did for free, but they made some changes and Im not sure how they work now.

You'll have to look around for an app that will backup/restore apps and data.

Titanium backup is the best though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brorex:
If you would of disabled HW overlays your screen flickers would of went away

Titanium is also free the last time I used it before purchasing the free version made you manually restore each app. (not to big of a deal just time consuming) Just remember to only restore apps no system data. As for SMS there are a lot of SMS backup apps. I use my backup pro for SMS
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MarsVoltron:
You should try titanium backups sms backup feature, it saves the pictures from sms also. A lot of the other apps I've used don't or corrupt them :highfive:

Engadget has a horribly worded article about the $25 google play credit expiring.

If I set the Date and Time, and use the network time. Then everything is fine. But if I set the date and time manually, it reverts back to December 31, 2008 the next day. WTF is going on?? :confused::confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billybong1010:
re post... has any one heard of this ?

just re-posting, i cant believe im the only one who has heard of this issue. It seems too repeatable not to be a software issue. sometimes my system will go about a week before randomly resetting its self back to dec 31 2008. also of course with this comes issues connecting to gmail (i guess since the date is so far off, there is something wrong with the certificates). web sites will also have a problem loading ( again, looking for certificates that are out of date since its "2008")

Not any more your not. This problem SUCKS. I've noticed Google maps will not connect on my galaxy tab 3 (stock). The crazy date change happened before I rooted it so I factory restored it them rotted it. Out of nowhere it's date changed to12/31/2011 and I cant search directly from the url bar in chrome. Any other webpage I visit in stock browser gives me the certifiicate error. Imma change the rom and see if that helps.

Hi, I searched in much forms for a solution but nobody could help me so I ask here.

I own the Galaxy Tab 10.1N.... most of the custom roms I flashed do not work properly. Mostley they work fine... but if I push the lock button, the whole screen goes black and sometimes start to flickering.... I can not wake it up from sleep mode again.... Except I restart it manually.... The problem is mostly with the newer ROM's released. The old Ganbarou for example works without that problem... I hope anybody know why I have this problem and how I can fix it.... Greetings sound

Hello, First time poster long time lurker. I have a question that I need answered. It's not as big as some like "Why is my tablet on fire?" or "OHMYGOD!THERESBEESCOMINGOUTOFHTESPEAKERS!!" No it's rather small in the scale of things I rooted my Acer a500 from day one and after looking around on these3 forums I came to the conclusion that Lightspeed was my ROM. Now is there anyway at all to get the headphone controls to work with this particular ROM? I've tried all of the apps and the like. So I'm just wondering if this is an unfix-able problem and if it is are there any good ROMS that allow inline headphone controls? Thanks for the time to whomever reads this and decides to help a noob out.

So i've been spending a couple of hours over a couples of days trying to unroot en relock my phone.

I had some USB problems and Charging issue's So i wanted to return it in stock..

But Like I said my USB didnt work so I decided to take my losses and just return it, rooted with Superuser installed.

after Explaining my situation the Tech Guy from my Carrier Tells me...

O you have rooted your Phone. Well that might be a problem with the insurance... unless you got a Nexus Device.

I was like what do you mean.

well with all Nexus Devices you are allowed to root your phone...

So i was wondering , who knew about this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
What carrier? This is definitely not the company line from any carrier I know.

I was in Sprint yesterday asking them about the newest radio for the JB build (I was having issues with a backup I made and having old radios preventing me from getting the JB OTA update). Anyways, the guy asked why I would need to know about the radios and I played dumb as to why I wasnt updating. My phone was relocked and unrooted but he picked up on it and said he wouldnt even touch the phone to give me help as modding the phone voids warranty. I was able to figure out on my own and fix it but they were pretty strict on the rules.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parthipanramesh:
You're lucky man!! I asked in a shop and they said that I'll lose warranty. What carrier??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neuroval:
Not true, rooting is discouraged but is not grounds for denial of warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Quasimoto27:
You can still have a valid warranty if you are rooted, but it depends for what you a claiming damages. If your power button stops working, that has nothing to do with root, they will just repair the button or give you a new model. However, if you call up your carrier and say something about your phone not turning on, then they might deny you coverage if they find out your phone was rooted/flashed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neuroval:
Reread what you posted, your first sentence and last sentence kinda contradict each other. Also, all I am talking about is rooting, not hardware failures, not water damage.

You should read the pdf I posted, they cannot deny you warranty just for rooting. Individuals may give you problems because they do not know Sprint's own policies, but if you escalate you should eventually find someone who knows what's what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Quasimoto27:
Oops :D I had it mixed up thanks for clarifying. Hardware problems can be fixed rooted as long as they don't check. If its something root related then no. Always best to return to stock everything and if you can reset flash counter.

Last year when I bought my Galaxy SII, I forget what I was asking the guy at the T-Mobile store but he suggested I root it (planned on it anyway), he rooted all his phones, and I shouldn't have any problems if I have to return it but if I do to just go back to stock first.
