[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espylacopa:
I should note that I'm actually running through Simple Mobile which uses the T-Mobile network on my Nexus 4. So far, I'm able to get the H to show up, and I get around 6mbps down and .5 up using Speedtest. However, this is lower than I would expect from HSPA+, not to mention I am not getting a + illuminating on my screen with the H. So I think something is wrong.

Before anyone asks, I did verify that Simple Mobile supports HSPA+ 42 as well as the coverage being in my area according to the Simple Mobile and T-Mobile coverage map as well as this site: http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/t-mobile-new-markets-faster-speeds

Carlsbad should have had HSPA+ 42 coverage at least since June 15, 2011.

So my question is, what is it I can do to possibly fix that?

Also not that these are the APN settings I used as suggested by Simple Mobile:

Name:SIMPLE Mobile

APN: simple

Proxy:<Not set>

Port:<Not set>

Username:<Not set>

Password:<Not set>

Server:<Not set>

APN Type: default,supl,mms,admin

Thanks!

Im on simple .mobile in chicago i only see an H also but ive gotten as high as 19 mb down
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogrillion:
I see a H and I have gotten 15Mpbs while it was being displayed.. Maybe we don't see a + on our phones?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espylacopa:
I thought I've seen others post here that they are able to see an H+ on their phones. Can anyone confirm this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Stock doesn't have it. Custom ROMs (some) has H+
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espylacopa:
So the H = H+ found in Roms? It's just for visual effect then?

If so, how can I tell if I'm getting HSPA+ 42 and not just HSPA+ 21? Or perhaps I'm not understanding how it is actually implemented?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
No some ROMs have the ability to distinguish H and H+, it's mainly when you go to Settings->About Phone->Status-> Mobile Network Type:

It'll be either, HSDPA:8,HSPA:11.... etc

By using that, when you have a certain connection to that particular network, it'll reclassify itself as H+.

Edit:

(Status Bar / Mobile network type / complete description / Max download throughput)

2G = EDGE:2

3G = UMTS:3 = HSDPA Category 3 = 1.8 Mbps max

H = HSDPA:8 = HSPA Category 8 = 7.2 Mbps max

H = HSDA:9 = HSPA Category 9 = 10.2 Mbps max

H = HSDA:10 = HSPA Category 10 = 14.4 Mbps max

H+ = HSPAP:15 = HSPA Category 14 = 23.4 Mbps max

......... etc
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espylacopa:
I just checked and it said that I'm getting HSPA:10. Based on your info, that is not HSPA+. I am indoors though, and I can use Wifi here. I suppose I'll have to see how it does when I'm out and about and not stuck in the house studying for finals. :(

Unless of course getting HSPA vs HSPA+ is not signal strength dependent?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
YMMV, your phone will idle at HSPA. Queue up a download and the device should bump up to HSPAP.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espylacopa:
Alright, I'll start downloading an album of mine from Google music and see if anything changes and then report back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
Just a suggestion, I'm not sure if the Settings->About Phone->Status page will update in real-time. You can watch what the network is doing via the Phone Information screen. Open dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* and press Phone Information.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espylacopa:
Well, I went ahead and did it and then checked the network type and it showed as HSPA+:15. I guess you were onto something there.

Also ease forgive my HSPA newbiness. I'm coming to the N4 from a Samsung Galaxy Prevail on Boost Mobile. I was just haply if that phone started up and actually worked let alone wondering about the type of data speeds I was getting. Now I feel spoiled. :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
No worries, glad to hear you got it sorted. :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
It does update in real time on the About Phone > Status screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
Good to know, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yeah so basically, when you get a ROM with this feature built in. When it detects that you're on HPSA+ and not H, it just switches the animation from H to H+. I'm waiting for this feature too as I enjoyed it a lot on my previous phone, Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dralways:
HSPA+:15 here, stock rom, H symbol. Preparing to flash several roms today and pick one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiderep:
I'm new to the hspa signal too but my n4 is mostly on H. At college it will be on H+ when I am using data and then seems to idle on H. At home I have seen H+ much less so I'm thinking it might not be as available than as at the college about 9 miles away? I also use WiFi at home as much as possible so I haven't tried it that much. On T-Mobile $30 dollar plan of course and loving no contract freedom!

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Ghost.X:
I've been with this issue with all android 4+ roms. (AOKP ICS, AOKP JB, CM9, CM10)

When I'm playing music, I'm getting distorted audio when I turn the volume all the way up while I'm using headphones. I tried with different headphones and it's all the same, and the issue is not there when using the speakers.

I also tried changing the settings on the DSPManager app, I set the equalizer preset to Bass Reducer and it actually reduced the distortion. but it's still there.

So, is there a fix for this? or maybe a specific DSP config. to do the trick?

I guess I'll be using CM7 for a while, but since yajnab's CM10 RC1 is working great, I want to use it as my default rom. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] embed_nk:
check your rom.......( audio_effects.conf ) should present in system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf

I'm sure the answer to this is around here and I'm just not finding it. But is there a way to completely remove that annoying Backup Assistant Plus program? In the apps menu I've disabled Backup Assistant Plus, Backup Assistant+ Contacts Cli, Backup Assistant+ Media, com.motorola.huxvmm.setting, and Sync Service. After disabling I plugged in to get the Verizon Backup Assistant Plus sales pitch. Is there a way to remove this?

I could be completely wrong, but from what I've seen on past devices its pretty embedded into the framework... it'd take root at least, then with root explorer search for and remove everything backup assistant related... but before all this someone experienced would have to confirm

I donated to Skippens awesome Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit through the link that was at the top of the v2.0.0 version.

After paypal confirmation I was expecting some sort of download link to the latest version? It didn't come.

What exactly is the process in getting the latest version seeing as I just donated? Question to anyone who has the full registered and latest version?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrapper:
I have it. You'll get an email with him which includes an activation code, you just enter this in the app to download the latest version.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radam_:
You will eventually get the code. The dev stated that it is a manual process so you may have up to wait 24 hours to receive the key, and email him if you haven't got it by then.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhoneLine:
Same here, I got it the next morning after I donated. Great app. First I was like, root is enough. Then it was a Rom, then a Kernel, then a custom boot logo.

The plus side is I learned a ton, and the phone is like 100 times better. And multitasking on ATT without waiting for them!

Any suggestions? It is happening both to my GSII and my GNoteII
[General Questions and Answers] Vivek Mandre:
Mp4 video you are trying to play probably contains a different codec written onto it.

Have you tried 'mxplayer' from store?

Also download different codecs from store after you download mxplayer.

download that movie from any other site.....

Or

convert that to playable format for your phone.:)

:)
[General Questions and Answers] markinaus:
A codec is way/method of archieving lossy compression of a video/audio stream. To be able to decode a video using a certain codec your video player needs to support that codec. If your video is in .mp4 format it's most likely going to be using h.264 codec, but I'm surprised you can't play your video with mxplayer cause I've only had success with that.

Have you actually been able to play this video on your computer?

[Nexus 4 General] glycolysis:
As the Nexus 4 is quite new still and no CPU temp monitoring app seems to work properly on it, here is a shell command that will read all of the thermal sensors present. Might be useful for kernel modding for throttling - although my Nexus 4 has no noticeable throttling on GLBenchmark and only throttles slightly after hundreds of runs on StabilityTest. It might just be cold in my room, or maybe it's because I'm connected to USB, lowering the battery temperature. Anyways, here's the command:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/temp /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone*/temp

First line is battery temperature, in 0.1C. The other lines I believe are various sensors in the SoC, except the one that appears to be measured in 0.001C that is from the PMIC.

I have only run this in ADB shell; however, it may work on a terminal emulator, I wouldn't know. Root is not needed, at least not with ADB.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
Hi.

ADD. MTsol reported he(she) flashed PRL with QPST without problem so you can use QPST if you have one.

Here's my second thread about PRL writing for our Optimus G with LGNPST.

I'm not sure if I can share the LGNPST here or not so just pm me if you need it.

Let's get started.

1. Make sure your phone is Diag mode enabled. (you can find out how to from the link above.)

2. Open LGNPST.

3. Connect your OG to your PC as Charge Only mode.

4. You will see this screen, click PRL/ERI tab then check Write, NAM1, NAM2.

5. Load the PRL file you want to use. (You can find PRLs from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880781

or google it and you can find PRLs easily.

6. Press start.

7. It will ask your SPC.

8. Just wait... Your OG will reboot by itself.

9. Done. :good:

P.S. If LGNPST pops up an error MSG, just reboot your OG once then press ok button.

P.S.S. Dang.. picture size is too big... I'm gonna make them smaller later....:cool:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] MTsol:
Have you notice hand free activation coming up after reboot since flashing a prl?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
Mine doesn't do auto update.

Probably because I'm using unlocked bootloader on my phone?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] GuestX0011:
Use the newest alpha cdma program forgot its name sorry. It is the only program i found to rewrite my prl.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Snarflebits:
Do you remember the name now? I'm unable to update my PRL either. LGNPST keeps saying my phone lost connection. Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jptech:
Can you explain why you would want to do this? I can update my prl from the settings menu. In what circumstances would this be a useful process?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
For instance, if you are on Sprint and you have awful 3G data, you can use a Verizon PRL and get much better 3G data.

Caveat is if you overdo it, Sprint can terminate your services/contract.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:

if all you need is force roam to verizon network,

Here's another method. this works perfectly for me.

Dial 3845#*970#

Scroll down to the bottom and select IOT Hidden menu

Select CDMA Setting

Select CDMA Preference

Select Band Preference

Change value to Cell only

Change this value to Any if you wanna go back to Sprint network.

Try the older and then the newer versions the one that works in the green display one.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Thanks guys. I spend a lot of time at our cabin in the mountains. And Sprint sold the tower we used to use to Verizon. I just need to have an alternative for people to get ahold of me. (Old parents and the kids)

Whether it be with the phone to change, or a simple computer program that doesn't require me to have to look it up to change. Thanks again.

PS. Growing older is not for the weak. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] cremator75:
Doesn't Sprint roam on Verizon towers anyway? Why would you need to force it?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Sprint got many calls about us losing service in that area and we were all told it was sold to Verizon and they had no plans to lease it from them. Unless they had more users for it.

So most people switched to Verizon and they all have great service. Those of us still on Sprint, our signal fades from 3g, to roaming, to nothing, all while standing in the same spot.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
cause they don't roam to verizon network even though we're having pretty weak sprint signal. This means they won't roam to verizon eventho you only have 0~1 bar and having hard time to talk on the phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] zevot:
I am trying to use LGNPST and also QPST but neither will work. I have tried it on 3 different machines but the same thing happens on each. In LGNPST it keeps coming up with the blah...unplugged message...click OK error. In the port listing in QPST it shows a question mark "?(xxxxxxxx)" for the phone and it never is able to connect. I was able to flash a PRL using CDMA Workshop but never could get LGNPST or QPST to work. Anyone ever seen anything like this?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I never could get LGNPST to work. QPST worked, but was a pain. I can't remember how or what I did. I think I googled how to use it with an LG Optimus M?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] jblazea50:
I don't think you can update prl without hooking it to a computer. Only way is through the regular system update, which will give you whatever prl sprint puts out.

Have you tried installing the lg drivers before plugging your phone? You would also need to enable diag mode for prl to work via computer.
