I can now confirm now at least all Vodafone UK customer will have this problem when they connect to HSDPA, i have cancell my contract with them, i pay my remaining contract fee which is £320 ! I wrote a 3 page long letter to them explaining this to them, the reason of my cancellation is because their network issue, not mine. I have phone them a lot of times as well, the answer i got is "don't use 3G then, just use GPRS!".

Anyway, i am now on T-mobile network, and the above problem is no longer here, i connect to HSDPA, if calls comes in, the network will drop itself to 3G for me to answer the phone, then up again to HSDPA once the call is finish, sweet!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Glad you got it sorted Wu & welcome to the T-Mob club. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
How do i use HSDPA?

I get GPRS/3G as options in the connections box...

I only ever see 3G in the icon at the top.

Im on t-Mobile UK
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
you need to be in the 3.5G signal area, don't know where you are but in London, most of the time we have 3.5G signal. When connect to 3.5G, the connection symbol will show a H on it. You can also tell which network you are on by doing a speed test.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
Clapham most of the time, and Kensington a lot.

At neither location have I seen a H ever.

Ive been all round london and not seen H. Do I need a newer SIM?

When I went from 2g to 3g o2 insisted I needed a new sim because old sims wouldnt work. Is this the case for 3g to 3.5g?

Is there ANY other info on the Ameo other than the H? A setting, option, menu or anything?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
no you don't need a new sim card, btw are you on web&talk basic?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
Um, yea?

That would be typical......
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
if you on web&walk basic only, then you don't get 3.5G connection, only web&walk plus and max user get 3.5 function turn on. If you call them and if you are lucky, they might be able to turn it on for free for you, but most of the time they will just ask you to pay more to upgrade to plus or max.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
Ahh, that indeed explains it all. I may try to persuade them then.

If you have an actual Athena, is it silver? I thought they were al black..

Because I have the black one in my avatar, while the actual device is silver. It would be funny if you had the silver one in the avatar while y our actual device was black :p

I guess I should swap my picture really!

I have to say, id rather swap device! I hate the T-Mob colour scheme.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
Mine one is not HTC Advantage (black) or T-mobile Ameo (silver), mine one is DOPOD U1000, which is also silver, it's not got any colour scheme like the T-mobile one at all.

Good luck with your phone call with T-mobile, let us know the news :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pantaloonie:
I'm on web n walk basic, and I have the 3.5G service.

I didn't have to ask for it to be activated.

It's worth noting that while speed tests show that I have the full speed service, and my T-Mo online account settings confirm this, I have never seen an H on my connection icon, it only shows 3G.

This must be down to T-Mo's Rom on the Ameo - Wu, I assume you sold your Ameo and put your T-Mo sim into your Dopod. So it looks like the Ameo shows 3G on the icon even when using HDSPA.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
what speed are you getting for the 3.5G service btw?

and only can someone confirm that T-mobile 3G service is down at the moment? i seems to have problem connect to internet, didn't change anything.

oh, and also can T-mobile user write down their internet setting in the connection? so the service point, user name and domain......etc thanks :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
605 kilobits/sec for me on tmob uk.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
um...i got 1200 kilobits/sec. But 605 should be 3.5G already
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pantaloonie:
The best speed I have seen so far is 1400 kbs.

Will post my settings for you when i get a chance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
it is strange, for the 3G setting, if i don't type in user name and password, i get over 1000 kbs speed, but if i type in user as my user name and one2one for password , then i only have 400 kbs. What setting are you guys using?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] firedup:
Hi Guys

What speed tests site / software are you lot using? I have used 2 - dslreports and one on bandwidthplace and they both give me different results - the bandwidtplace one usually gives me far higher speeds, although there only appears to be a setting for 3G not HSDPA when you configure the test. I'm wondering if this would make a difference?

Can anyone recomend any other test sites / software?

I usually get between 400 - 900kbs when at home on t-mob, and I too have only ever seen the 3G symbol, never the H. My top speed so far was 1200 in a town centre (Basingstoke)

Cheers

:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
i also use bandwithplace, and 90% of the time i have 1200 kps, i live in London btw. I think i am sure by now T-mobile Ameo won't see the H symbol because their ROM, i am using the DOPODU1000 and i do see a H symbol.

Can any T-mobile user drop down their internet setting here? basically what i am asking is what do you have on your user name and password? I found out if I disable these 2, my connection is far quicker then having password and user name type in.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] doedoe:
T Mob might not want to advertise where they do have HSDPA and do not havr coverage... removing the icons removes the ability for the average user to see what connection type they are using...

Also dont forget that you will only get upgraded to HSDPA when you actually need it...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
I just got a phone call from Vodafone, they confirm that they are aware of the problem, they are trying to fix the problem, but not anytime soon, they suggest me to use the voice message in the mean while, that's the only solution at the moment. Anyway, i have pay £300 for the cancellation fees, they agree to refund me 25% of it. Well, i was expect more, but at least there is something.

So my suggestion is if you going to use your Athena or any 3.5 device to go on net a lot, then please consider other operator such as T-mobile, because there is no sign that this problem will be fix from Vodafone in the short period, and i can confirm T-mobile have no such problem at all.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] matcol:
Data transfer during HSDPA calls....

At the moment only T-Mobile has the correct software level in their network to allow simultaneous voice and data connections on HSDPA links - Voda does not. 3 and O2 will have this feature soon as they use the same equipment (Nokia) to provide the 3G service, if you are on a HSDPA call and you receive a voice call then you will be downgraded to a standard R99 bearer (384 Kbps or lower) and you will continue to download in the background - once you end the voice call you will go back onto the HSDPA channel and things will be faster!

Remember that the upgrade/downgrade is partly dependant on coverage and mobile speed (if you are travelling at speed then their is a greater chance that you won't upgrade back to HSDPA)

All HSDPA calls are regulated by the BTS cell site covering you - HSDPA service is provided when their is enough resource in the cell to provide the service (this is mostly a hardware resource and also capacity back to the core network) if the cell site is extremely busy then you will not get HSDPA service until their is enough capacity to allow it.

All data calls are dynamic and will upgrade/downgrade their bitrate during the call. Some operators (eg T-Mobile, Voda, 3) have thier network set to allow all users the maximum bitrate available whilst others (O2) set a maximum bitrate for every individual user and only high end business users will get the full HSDPA service
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] copperwave:
Just to add my observations....I am in Voda and I get HSDPA and I have taken calls while remote controlling (RDP & Logmein) across the interweb.....my only thought is did you have the "Turn on HSDPA" option in Settings/Connections enabled?

Later

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ice_coffee:
If by basic you mean the simple £7.50 add on to a voice account then im sorry but that is not true, I have both W&W added to my phone account and W&Wmax on a data card and both sims are capable of full 1mbps HSDPA in either device.

I never asked for anything
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
But HSDPA IS NOT 1mbps only, it's much more then that, i currently use Vodafone HSDPA service, and i can received up to 4mbps sometimes, the maximun for vodafone is 7.2

I just replaced my 3.5mm jack on my VZ HTC M8 however the phone does not recognize when the headphones are inserted. I've tried multiple headphones to no avail. The audio jack is however working after using the app SoundAbout to force headphone output.

I would like to use Tasker if possible to force headphone output only when Spotify launches. Is this possible? I know the SoundAbout app has a widget toggle for the home screen but I would really like to automate this process.

About MHL - can you provide logcat and dmesg made right after you try to use MHL?

About CPU - when it gets hot go to developer options and check "Show CPU usage" - it'll show you which process is using CPU extensively.

Slimkat - possible in future, but no ETA.

The moga is a nice little pad.....The only down side is, as I mentioned, the shoulder buttons......With the moga pocket you get.....

'L1' & 'R1'

With the pro you get......

'L1', 'L2', 'R1' & 'R2'

Basically what you'd expect on a console gamepad, so if you're playing a game that uses all 4 shoulder buttons, with the 'pocket' you're kinda stuffed, but with the 'pro' you're not.......

Guess I'll give the pocket to my son and upgrade to the pro......which seems to have the layout of a full sized 360 controller.......including 'd' pad.....

Hi

just fyi in case someone runs into this:

I have WIND Moto X (XT 1097) which was unlocked (I am on Bell Mobility Canada) - with the original 4.4.4 firmware:

system: 21.31.52.victara_retca.retca.en.CA

baseband: MSM8974BP_2147.127.04.57R,VICTARA_RETCA_CUST

I manually flashed the retail 5.01 image (I thought the Wind soak test issues came only from OTA)

RETCA_XT1097_5.0.1_LXE22.46-22_cid14_CFC.xml.zip

After I flashed it 5.01 booted fine, but I lost cellular radio. With no way to DOWNGRADE, I thought I was hosed, but after reflashing the 2 original modem files:

fsg.mbn

NON-HLOS.bin

I was back up in 5.01 Lollipop with the radios working again - so I picked up my Bell signal.

I am just wondering now, is there a way to downgrade from 5.01 to 4.4.4 and have the radios working ? Ideally I'd like to reflash this stock image:

RETCA_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-52_cid14_CFC.xml.zip

Thank you
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliospinoza:
JUst do exactly the same process BUT dont flash fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin. and your phone will restart on 4.4.4 with radio signal
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve-x:
The 5.0.1 image you flashed was the Telus image, not the Wind Mobile image, which is why you lost your radio. You can flash the original Wind mobile 4.4.4 firmware and you will be back to 4.4.4. You will need to flash the files manually(mfastboot) instead of using RSDlite as one of them will fail as it doesn't allow downgrades, this isn't an issue though.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritflare:
No this won't work because it gives downgrade errors.

Hi, not flashing using rsdlite - using mfastboot.

Would you have a link to the original Wind firmware or the full name of the retail Wind firmware image ?

Also - seeing my phone is supposedly unlocked (works now on bell) why would flashing the telus radio vs wind break ?

Thank you!

Hi folks,

I'm having some screen issues.

There is a vertical band on the right side of the screen that isn't registering any touch input. I'm currently running CM 12, but I've tried installing a stock variant and the problem persists.

This all points to a bad digitizer, but the affected part of the screen seems to work fine in recovery and on the lock screen.

I'm completely stumped. Does anyone have any advice?

[AT&T LG G3] kragar00:
I have a similar problem, but it seems sporadic. I get "dead spots" on the screen where it won't register a touch until I either change the screen orientation or turn the screen off, then back on. These spots happen everywhere, though most often along the side of the screen (all sides, and occasionally towards the middle.) pushing harder, long pressing, etc. doesn't have any effect.

I turned on show touches, so I can tell when it happens. I can see that it seems to register the touch initially, but the touch quickly disappears (almost like the touch area there crashed) and won't come back. If I touch somewhere else and drag my finger, it registers through the "dead spot", but won't highlight or select anything. A tap isn't registered, but it can follow my finger through it.

I also have another issue where the screen registers a touch, but the device doesn't do anything. This most often happens when hitting the home button. The touch registers and the button even lights up, but nothing happens until I hit the button again.

A factory reset didn't help.
