anubus12 - let me tell you few things and then I will answer your questions. OK?

If you want to have fast data access for your PC - use PCMCIA cards or build in systems - IBM has few notebooks with it, other I do not care :)

I can assure you that it will be quicker then any connection via USB/BT because hardware and software (drivers and apps) are dedicated only to handle DUN (dial up networking).

So there is no point of comparing PCMCIA cards to PocketPC telephones. Especially when you are using two different networks.

I had HTC Apache in Sprint and Hermes in T-Mobile/Cingular and then I can tell you that Sprint network is simply faster then Cingular. First of all Sprint in my area is fully EVDO-Rev.0 and Cingular is UMTS sometimes HSDPA or EDGE depends on radio used, interference, or even air (windy/raining/t-storm - it has some influence).

HTC Hermes just like other PocketPC handles DUN well, but it is more like backup connection, not when you need it all the time. Just get the info and finish connection. Not because price per MB but they were not build to work this way. You need PCMCIA cards for that purpose (constant net access).

Most of people here might disagree but if you are not traveling internationally on regular basis - use Sprint or Verizon - it is faster and more reliable. Sorry guys its the truth.

When T-Mobile will start 3G it might be different thou T-Mobile has expirence in other countries but other networks has this advantage.

If you traver internationally then you have to use Cingular or T-Mobile. For corporate use I would choose Cingular for personal T-Mobile.

My point is that you cannot compare something which is not comperable. Back to your questions.

OK, let me put it in the easy way :)

You have Cingular so your only choice is UMTS/HSDPA (3G) and EDGE (2G) because Cingular claims that it's network is fully EDGE enabled.

When on top screen bar you have G (or when using aku 3.3 - E) you are going to GSM (for basic data), AMR (for speach codecs), GPRS (for data connection).

When on top screen bar you have U (or when using aku 3.3 U or H) you are going to WCDMA (for basic data) or HSDPA CQI Status (for knowledge is HSDPA is in use). Well if you see H (aku 3.3) you know that you are in HSDPA area. But if you are using aku 2.3 you are going to HSDPA CQI Status.

You have to know that GSM/GPRS/EDGE data are time and usage driven due to it is TDMA network (Time Division Multiple Access). It means that network data are given to you every few seconds. Because data transfers it is usage then when you are finished data is 0 because nothing is happening. You have to monitor during transfer.

UMTS/HSDPA data are event driven due to it is CDMA network (Code Division Multiple Access). It means that you will see something during and after event. Like after download, but you have to have FieldTest open during download to record data. You are in HSDPA when after/during download in HDSPA CQI Status group CQI1-10 fields are more then 0.

Hope this helps, if you have more question just ask :)

I use both bluetooth and usb on the cingular network with my tytn.

And yes, bluetooth is much slower than usb regardless of the type of bluetooth on the pc.

I usually get 300-400 on bluetooth and 800-1300 on usb. higher speeds with vista vs xp (don't know why tho) I doubt you will ever get 1.5 mbs as you mention, unless you are the only person using that particular cell tower
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] drummer10630:
@Pawlisko....My problem is that I do get 3G speeds when using the unit itself, browsing, streaming, etc..., but when I use it as a modem for my laptop, from the same location, during the same time frame, I only get one tenth the speeds. Are there different versions of the USBMDM.inf that would cause such a thing? I have experimented with init string settings, and for some reason, using NO init string gives me the fastest speeds.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pawlisko:
eagle 1 - By your end of quote I can tell you that still you are thinking old way :)

Huge advantage of CDMA is it's multi connection to tower bases. There is no handover like in TDMA system. In large city your cell might be served by many towers (TyTN 1 to 6).

HSDPA is regarding of category 0.9/1.2/1.8/3.6 Mbps (current). During 2007 CeBit in Hanover 7.3 Mbps will be shown. It will go thru 10.2 to 14.4 Mbps (max) in near future. Of course like any other link you have to substract overhead of TCP/IP protocol data of avg. 20%.

Like fast ethenet - suppose to be 100 Mbps = 12.5 MBps, if you will get 80 Mbps = 10 MBps of real transfer you have very fast network.

If you have more questions - ask :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pawlisko:
drummer10630 - did you check your speed using any speed tester? Sometimes speed is relative. Remember that some pages are optimised for PDAs with less ads, better html coding etc.

First of all - do not change anything - no strings. Just put your APN in TyTN and dial *98# should be the fastest way.

Second - check if you have installed in your computer software like IM/update that will use some band without your knowledge. That can kill your connection for good.

And last - delete everything for comp - inf files, and related dlls. Install one more time and do not change anything. As plan as it can be.

As usualy - if you have more questions - ask :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vdavide:
I can get about 70KB/s download with my laptop's built-in bluetooth module ( 2.0+edr) and tytn and about 150KB/s via usb ( i'm in Italy with VODAFONE operator ).

Using a 1.2 BT dongle on the pc will reduce speed at about 40KB/s ... this is the connection speed from the pc to the device and not from the device and the operator network ( network speed is independent from your pc to tytn connection ).

Just a question : how can be the tytn BT 2.0 without edr since the specs tell that only differences from 1.2 bt vers and 2.0 bt vers is only the speed increase and there isn't a 2.0 without edr in the bt specs ???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pawlisko:
OK, let me answer.

I do not know how abubasim knows that TyTN does not have EDR but this is meaningless.

Your speeds are normal. First of all maximum speed is something which normally is never achived. Why? Because of interference, not optimal power scheme etc. Just like WiFi (IEEE 802.11g) you will never get transfer of 54 Mbps = 6.75 MBps even with protocols overhead (of 20%) = 5.4 MBps. Real transfer is 1.5-2.5 MBps.

Now BT speeds:

BT 1.2 - 721 kbps = 90.125 kBps = real transfer max 72.1 kBps so your speed of 40 kBps is normal with this type. I would said that this is good link speed.

BT 2.0 - 3 Mbps = 384 kBps = real transfer max 307.2 kBps but as per wikipedia data transfer is 3xBT 1.2 = 2.11 Mbps = 270.375 kBps = real transfer max 216.3 kBps so your transfer of 70 kBps is roughly 1/3 so it is about right. I would say that 110 kBps is what you may get, if more you are lucky.

I do not know if TyTN has EDR - in my opinion it may have, but it has to be chcecked.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions - ask
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Menneisyys:
You may have meant *99# ? ;-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vdavide:
@Pawlisko :

i think the tytn has 2.0+EDR also if HTC website say 2.0 without edr ( this mean nothing if you read the BT specs ) .

I was using a samsung Z560 HSDPA before ( BT 1.2) and max download speed via BT in conjunction to my 2.0+edr laptop never reach up to 40KB/s.

Now with tytn i can reach up to 70KB/s and a stable 55KB/s , i mean tytn has real BT2.0+edr imho...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Pawlisko:
Right. My bad :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jblanken64:
Something that you may not have thought of. Set the baud rate on your Bluetooth serial ports to the highest rate at which you can communicate. Mine is set for 460Kbps. It made a serious difference for me. I didn't perform any measurements but I did see the difference. The default rate is 115200. This was the mistake that most folks made with standard modems. The default serial port rate was 9600 and a 56K modem needed to have data fed to it at at least 115200 to keep its compression engine busy. It didn't matter if you had a 56K data connection if you were only feeding it at 9600. The same principle seems to apply here, at least in my case.

Just my .02.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] anubus12:
How do you set the modem to 460Kbps? The bluetooth modem is set as a standard modem at 115200, which is the MAX. I don't see an option for 460kps. Are you saying to set it up the BT connection as something other than a standard modem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jblanken64:
The way I did it was from the desktop/laptop side. Your Bluetooth config may differ slightly, but I did it as follows:

Pull up "My Bluetooth Places"

Right click on your connection that is used to connect as a modem.

Select Properties.

Click the "Configure" button.

Make sure that the check box beside the virtual com port selected as the Bluetooth connection is checked. The click on the Configure button.

Here, select the highest bit rate that you can support and still get a connection with your phone.

This seemed to help for me. When I connect to my phone, I show a 460K connection rate. Your mileage may vary.

[Moto X Q&A] smooth_penguin:
Hey,

Does anyone know the pinout diagram for the moto X battery, the CS-MXT912SL

http://www.techtek.cz/CS-MXT912SL

http://www.batterybay.net/Battery-for-Motorola-XT912A-p/motorola-cs-mxt912sl.htm

I intend to charge the battery externally and try to get my phone to boot up.

I basically walked into a swimming pool (yeah I was that stupid to have the phone in my shorts :() with my moto X,

and after a lot of drying the parts and assembling it back, just the green light near the ear piece lights up for a few seconds- when its plugged into the charger.

I can tell the charging circuitry is damaged, since I don't see any voltage readings at the battery input terminals,

which seem to be affected very easily as seen in my previous post here : http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/moto-x-battery-stuck-10-charge-t2845065 (motorolla fixed the phone for me after that)

Thanks for any help :)
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Unfortunately chasing down water damage is usually futile. You replace one thing and find other things are fried.

Usually saving your time and money for a replacement is better than spending it on a water damaged device.

Usually they either are OK right away after being disassembled and in a bag of rice a few days.... Or they are dead. The fact you powered it on, or tried by plugging it in probably sealed it's fate if their was any moisture still present I'm afraid.

Sorry for your loss. ?

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

And questions go in Q&A. ?
[Moto X Q&A] smooth_penguin:
Thanks for your reply Darth,

I did dry out each part completely before turning it on (diassembled everything, hair dried, left it in an air conditioned room - disassembled for hours) .

I understand what you're telling me regarding replacing the parts - in this case I really think( I have reasons for this) its just the battery charging section thats shorted itself out and drained the battery.

Does anyone happen to have voltage measurements of the charging terminals of the battery, it might help me start off with some testing.

My real goal is to retrieve the data on the onboard emmc storage before replacing the board.

Im going to attempt to either :

1. Attempt to power the board up by charging the battery externally

2. Attempt to interface the emmc in some way to retrieve my data.

I know this is a long shot, but any advice/help would be useful :)

Thanks,
[Moto X Q&A] smooth_penguin:
As an update to this thread,

I hooked up the battery directly to my bench powersupply at 3.18v and the battery came back to life!

The phone booted up! and works perfectly OK (speaker, gps, gsm, 3g, wifi, display, everything).... except for the MIC which I think is dead.

I've ordered a replacement part from aliexpress and hopefully can use my MotoX fully again! :D

PS: the battery pinout was (+) all the way left and (-) all the way right on the battery connector.

Can you pm me the link to the mic? And was it the front mic that doesn't work? Cause my issue is the front mic as well since it doesn't work.
[Moto X Q&A] cxseven:
After someone stole my wife's Moto X, they threw it in the garbage where it mixed with some soda. I was able to track it down but then it died and now has the same green light behavior you're describing. Were you or anyone else here able to fix it?

I tried taking it apart and rinsing everything with 99% isopropyl alcohol, but nothing seems to have changed.
[Moto X Q&A] smooth_penguin:
Hey,

Yes, I was able to recover my phone - I suggest you make sure the phone is properly dried out before you try what I did.

I had the same symptom as the green light, which indicates it doesn't detect a battery or the battery is completely drained out.

I hooked up the battery directly to a bench powersupply, applying 3.7Volts for about a minute (current was less than 1A)

after that as soon as I connected the battery connector to the phone, the screen lit up with the battery symbol,

and it was charging at around 40% (I had the usb charger connected)

The battery pinout is (+) all the way left and (-) all the way right on the battery flex connector.

Good luck! let us know how it goes :)

PS: I just received the mic part and am about to replace it, looks like the mic was the only thing that didnt survive the water.
[Moto X Q&A] cxseven:
Wow, it's weird that the phone wouldn't even try to charge your battery until you jump-started it like this. After that everything but the microphone worked? I'll definitely give this a try, maybe by transplanting the battery from my other Moto X. For now the green light on the bad phone stays lit for about 10 seconds before it turns off, and the phone doesn't seem to be able to do anything else.
[Moto X Q&A] smooth_penguin:
Everything except the micrphones(s) works fine, from what I figured there are 3 mics on the phone.

The main mic for phone calls is next to the usb connector, this seems dead.

The second mic which is near the front camera, I *think* is the "touchless control"/"google now" mic, this doesn't seem to work as well.

No idea where the third mic is but Im pretty sure that did not survive either.

As of now its a bit hard to replace the mic, since I don't have a hot air station at hand,

I can use the phone with a handsfree headset for the mic and it works just fine :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ElAguila:
I have decided to go ahead and go with a note 4 and since I like customizing the rom I am going to get a t-mobile note 4 to use with att. I will buy the phone up front and then I plan to use an online service to unlock it right away. Since t-mo won't sell the phone without a plan I was looking at the cheapest plan I can get with this phone. My question is since I am unlocking it right away, I won't need to keep the t-mo service until they are willing to unlock the phone. So how soon can I cancel the t-mo simple plan after I have unlocked the phone and got it on the att network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] fcb1:
Well t-mobile won't unlock it until you've had their service for 40 days. they also have a 14 day grace period to cancel service plan so I would definitely recommend a third party unlocking site considering it's cheaper than the 40 days of tmobile service. If you choose the third party make you make a phone call for 5 minutes so you don't region lock it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] madmike23:
I chatted with them online. They told me they can do it after 3 days of service so my phone will show up on their system. They couldnt see it since I turned on the phone that day and first thing I did was go online and chat with them.

So... I chatted with them on the 3rd day and they processed it. I didnt get an email confirmation after talking to them- so I was a little concerned. But the next morning, I got the email with the unlock code. :)

Returned the AT&T version that night after I rooted and installed my current fav rom (Dynamic Kat) on the Tmobile version.
[General Questions and Answers] kennethbass:
I have my One M7 rooted and unlocked. It was originally with Verizon. I now wish to use it on Straight Talk (AT&T towers). Simply getting the SIM card and activating it does not cover everything. Due to the latest Android software there is no option to add or modify APNs. Therefore, I can not use data unless I am connected to WiFi.

I was wondering if I should (or even can) change everything to the HTC One (GSM) ROM from CYanogenmod so I can properly set up my phone to work on Straight Talk.

Lenovo S8 Golden Warrior

The S8 is a high-end smartphone from Chinese Lenovo. It comes with Gorilla Glass 3 and 2GB RAM and uses a 5.3" IPS OGS HD screen. Another great plus is that it is equipped with the Mali-450 MP4 GPU (most others only have the Mali-400), so it is really nice for gaming. The S8 provides a solid impression and the materials and quality seems to be very high. Last but not least the camera is also pretty good.

You can still do that without this. If you have an pc you can use as a pvr then there are xbmc addons that will enable you to watch/record live tv from the nexus player.

SiliconDust VIEW app works outside TV Input

The latest update to SiliconDust's HDHomeRun VIEW app hit the Play Store on Friday. While it doesn't tune properly from within the TV Input Plugin on my Nexus Player, I can access my channels perfectly by launching the VIEW app itself (which has the same interface as on a tablet). While it's not showing up in the Play Store on the Nexus Player, you can install it from the web version of the store and it will show up properly in the leanback launcher.

The activity on their development forum for Android TV makes me hopeful that they'll have it sorted out soon. The changelog listed support for Android L and Android TV, but only stated support for the ADT-1. I assume some of the remaining issues may be having to do with ARM vs x86, but I don't have an ADT-1 so I can't be sure they don't have the same problems at this stage.
