Hey all,

Recently I have heard a lot of talk about how t-mobile has altered their network and speculation as to how to get the fastest connections.

I ran several speed tests while connected to each one, and here are the averages.

I found a list of the APNs athttp://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/T-Mobile_APNs

BTW, I have the unlimited internet, so I can do this without getting charged for bandwidth, don't do this if you don't have an actual data plan!

I have not tested the latency with the T-MobileWeb proxy.

internet2.voicestream.com

66kbit/s average speed.

85kbit/s fastest, 43kbit/s slowest.

1.12s average latency.

0.69s fastest, 1.65s slowest.

wap.voicestream.com

54kbit/s average speed.

92kbit/s fastest, 24kbit/s slowest.

1.58 average latency,

1.26s fastest, 2.04s slowest

epc.tmobile.com

55kbit/s average speed.

93kbit/s fastest, 28kbit/s slowest.

1.75s average latency.

1.48s fastest, 1.95s slowest.

The raw numbers are attached.

I also wasn't able to get internet3.voicestream.com to work at all, can anyone connect to that APN?

If so can you please run 5 or 6 speed tests at http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed and post averages?
[Networking] fishwiz45:
thanks 4 this!

so which one have you settled on(fastest most reliable in your opinion)?

thx again!
[Networking] izzzy12k:
Any new connections we can use?

Also, which is the most reliable?
[Networking] gimpcell:
I have not been able to runs several tests and post them, but I can tell you that I have best results downloading and tethering using wap.voicestream.com as my APN.

Currently downloading to my computer some files and im getting a 30.00kb/s 113.5kb/s max.

oh and im using a TMO TP2 unlocked cooked ROM
[Networking] jon_ecton:
why is yours so slow? i get around 3-5 mb/s when im not throttled and then ill use internet2.voicestream.com and ill get 1-3 mb/s when im throttled at 5 gb ill get around 60 kb/s
[Networking] Omnichron:
I have unlimited data plan. epc.tmobile.com is my apn. will get charges if I change it?
[Networking] TexEngineer:
Further Testing

I was able to test Epc, internet2, and internet3 On my T-mobile Vibrant, running Froyo stock JL5.

My results are shown below, and the summary is:

(From Dslreports)

Fastest average download: Internet 3 (2766 kbps, latency unknown, download rate based on download time calculated)

Best latency: Epc

(From speakEasy)

Fastest average download: Epc (3470 kbps)

Note, internet 3 exhibited Poor latency during speakeasy Tests

Conclusion:

Stick with epc, unless experiencing Lag Or low signal strength. Signal Strength seems higher with internet3, but the quality isn't as good as with epc. Regardless, internet3 outperforms Internet2.

I hope this helps some of you. It goes without saying, of course that signal varies by location.

Is there anyway (with root access or not) to clear the My Downloads cache of Applications that remain even after uninstalling an App?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 General] Dharkaron:
Once uninstalled mine go away after a day or two.
[G1 General] Seeknay747:
That isn't working...

Isn't there some kind of remnant of an application that remains behind even after uninstalled? If I remove this do you think it will be "cleared", and if so what is it and where?
[G1 General] tubaking182:
i don't think the downloads are connected to your phone or in any way saved there, i am pretty sure that your downloads are associated with your google account and so if someone else signed in to your phone they would see theirs. the "my downloads" aren't taking up any space so no need to worry about them.

P.S. feel free to correct me if i am wrong but i am sure i read this somewhere on the boards

If I use any kind of player the music shuts it's self up after 2 minutes.

This happens with every player winamp, mort player, poker music except the original phone player. Ultil now this wasn't such a big problem because i used that player but I really don't like it and I would like to use something else.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] blitz69:
possible fix

first off do u have s2u2 on ur phone?

if so ull need to have a reg editor and add the .exe of the player u r wanting to use. go to HKCU-software-A_C-s2u2 and under ExceptionEXE (next blank one) u'll put the name of the program, then .exe

then under s2u2 settings make sure u turn on <under ADVANCED> (dont suspend power) and (check execeptional EXEs run in foreground only) then soft reset ur phone. and if u have the s2u2c ull want to do the same in there as well. i really hope this helps u out.

if its doing this and you dont have s2u2 then i really dont know y it keeps shutting off on u.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] blitz69:
also

i just remebered that if ur not using s2u2, on the today screen click on the battery icon and push the advanced tab and were it says batter power un-check "turn off device if not used for ____ minutes" hope this helps u out.

peace and good luck i hope u find an answer to ur issue.

Please help!

My andriod will not load at all, I start it up and it keeps going to the flash screen with the flashing green guy saying Andriod.

And it wont go away, I can't get on my phone I tried to factory reset and it's not working please someone!

It's a rooted g1 with JF 1.42.
[G1 General] AroundTheWorld:
reflash the JF 1.42 file, which can be done in two ways (That I know of):

1. Put your MicroSD card into another device or a card reader and replace the file, then put it back in your G1 and update it.

2. Go into the bootloader (I think thats what it's called, its Home+Power), press alt+x, then type in "echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file" (without the quotations.) Then, your computer should detect your G1, then just simply replace the file and reupdate.
[G1 General] 6Mike9:
I don't got anything that will work wit my MircroSD..

I have been using WM6.5 which has been awesome, always love having the latest, thanks to Davideuck, but its not as fast and stable as the cooked 6.1 roms and I would really like to go back to 6.1 but I can't live with out the new Titanium today plugin from WM 6.5, I just really like the fact that there is not bars top and bottom any more, it doesn't bother me with in programs but for the home screen its a really clean interface that still has all the information I need.

Can Titanium be ported to WM6.1???
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] lpaso:
+1

Love the new 6.5 UI
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Gustopher:
I would doubt it. Knowing Microsoft there won't be wholesale changes in the underlying code, but there will be some - probably enough to make porting all bar impossible...or with the same performance constraints found in 6.5.

Personally I don't find performance to be that much of an issue - I've been pleasantly surprised in that respect. I flashed the plain WM6.5 without the TF3D stuff

Does anyone know a regtweak or something to stop it??

[General Questions and Answers] suneetn:
I bought this Diamond on orange but unlocked completely a few days back. The major problem i am facing with this is that its GSM signal goes off many a times in my office specially. If I put my sim in the old SE mobile it works perfect.

I have tried many Radios but none of them resolved the problem. I am never able to receive the call in office because of this but I can make a call from my cell. It always say "could not connect to the number" if someone dials my number when my phone is in office.

Many thanks...

I did a search but I only have a phone to do this from so hopefully I didn't miss it.

Is it possible to make ram run off of the SDCard in a new partition (or even a current partition) simalar to Readyboost for vista? With all these home screen apps taking up so much RAM is would be helpful.

I am what you would call an advanced noob at this so don't flame me if I'm totally off.
[G1 Android Development] SolemnWishing:
I don't believe android supports something like this, this is sort of like Virtual Memory in Windows. However, the effectiveness of this isn't very good, moreover, the speed of the SD card or even support for this feature is... unknown. So, for now, I'm going to have to say I don't think so.

[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
Linux swap partitions aren't designed for flash memory like Readyboost is. Microsoft says Readyboost is designed to make your memory last at least 10 years with moderate use, but Linux swap might stress it more. MicroSDs are really cheap though.
[G1 Android Development] Sirus20x6:
nm page didn't load right, i thought i was the first post with useful info.
[G1 Android Development] Gary13579:
It should still last you years.

Each sector on flash media can be written to something like 10,000 times. After that's worn out, I believe it just ignores that sector. Meaning when your mem stick starts dying, you'll just have less space available to you.

I currently run my notebook with a Compact Flash card in the notebooks built in CF slot, and run my swap file on that. It's been a while, and it still hasn't died.
[G1 Android Development] TonyHoyle:
It's quite a long time - a sector isn't written 10,000 times sequentially, the hardware in the chip moves the writes around to avoid wearing out any single element (wear levelling), and if any single element does go it'll just ignore it, as you mentioned.

Any modern SD is likely to outlive the phone, basically. I've got entire computers running off SD and I've never had a failure (hard drives fail way more often, due to their mechanical nature).

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dortyboy:
It seems like the cruise has been abandon. I am not a rom freak but its been forever since anything has been developed for the polaris. What gives??

If thats the case i guess its time to move on to the iphone
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Drakh:
Only if the embeeded graphics acceleration were fully included in drivers, it'd be enough to satisfy most users of the device, it's really irritating that the device performs worse than other older devices in graphics... that reminds me never to buy another device with a Qualcomm chipset (hence any HTC phone), so my next device would will come with a Marvell or Samsung chipset (mmm, those new Acer phones looks interesting).

I would never go to an iPhone, it's a toy, no more than that... I must admit that Apple scores 10 in marketing and they can sell uninformed people their devices.

Sorry for the rant, I just needed to say that aloud :p
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cr1960:
What new stuff exactly are you're looking for?

There's a heap of applications being written every day that will run on Polaris(check the Forum).

Some guys are doing a great job in porting Android to Polaris as well. Take a look - it's pretty cool.

Whether it's a Polaris, Nokia or iPhone there's only so much you can do with it.....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] K0mmaT1A:
Yes I agree, Polaris is not dead, it only reached a level of maturity that there is no need for any other heavy develpment... after all it's a good device with qvga standar screen that can run anything for qvga, and has a dpad...

Yes the 3d drivers issue gone a little bad, some roms dont even support or include them, but they perform good anyway, I don't think it's that slow device if you know what your doing.... you wont run photoshop on it...

And dont be sure that having samsung or marvell proccessor will be heaven on earth... a lot of my friends are fustrated with crashes, no reason overflows... and most of devices carring them dont have 3d acceleration.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] NeoS:
The Polaris has 3D acceleration, in a way. It's just still not finished yet. It takes a HELL of alot time and effort to fix it, and most developers don't want to put in so much effort anymore, especially with Winmo7 around the corner with it's new kernel.

However, i still think it's possible to get Manila3D running without the sleep-bug, as long as people are motivated. But for alot of people, that comes with a price...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] speed_pour:
@Drakh: What about the Tegra when it comes out? Sorta best of both worlds...HTC device, which means in terms of hardware most devices will actually be pretty fully featured, and in terms of chipset, it's coming from a far better company than any of the other options given. Only obvious concern, it'll be a completely new product and is still untested by the market, almost certainly there's going to be at least a couple of flaws in the early iterations.

I don't know that I'd call Time-of-Death on the Polaris yet. I suspect a lot more development will kick back up when the Iolite actually hits shelves. At the very least, when serious Iolite development kicks up, and starts incorporating newer features/versions of software, it'll be relatively easy to create pair of roms side-by-side to cover both devices.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] jaapie:
Polaris is my worst phone ever. It was expensive at the time and everything is slow about it, even the 2d operations like opening windows, clicking startmenu, slow camera, slow scrolling in windows like file explorer, all programs list etc etc etc. Real disappointment and i'm also looking for other smartphones with a different chipset/manufacturer.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dortyboy:
i agree. i bout my Polaris over a year ago for 720 usd in NYC. for that i could have bought 3 iphones and it was disappointing to me that htc doesn't take the time to upgrade there phones. instead the fool us with a new one with slight improvements then another one with slight improvements. why cant they just focus on one phone and try and make it as best as possible.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bally3:
This is primarily a htc device forum.

For anyone who thinks they may fair better with another brand device it is worth noting that the development that go on - largely thanks to xda-developers - is not something that is replicated on any other device.

The iphone is a matter of taste and while they have plenty of programs on app-store, it is as someone said earlier - a toy, a fashion accessory, an ipod with a phone in it.

If you are cheesed off with htc's lack of dedication to one device then I dont blame you, we all get sick of it, but every manufacturer is in it to make money and they are all slow to push out decent updates and have their own advantages and shortfalls.

At least with the htc devices we have xda-developers - and as long as it is there (and long may it live) we have the chance of enjoying the CHOICE of different softwares instead of having to make do with whats there as most of the other devices.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cr1960:
but what is it you want it to do that it doesn't do?

is it games? then buy a Nintendo DS - sure you can't make calls with it but it's a great games device.

want to watch movies? the Sony PSP has great video playback but it won't manage you calendar.

I guess the point I'm making is that devices like the Polaris try to do lots of different things - and it does some things better than others.

I'm sure that when you got your Polaris you checked it out at the time and probably thought it was a pretty impressive device.

Most of the recent improvements have been to screen resolution, memory and processor speed and performance. All of these are hardware related and something that can not simply be plugged in and made work.

As time moves on technology improves and devices look better, maybe work a little faster and do more things. To expect something that's a couple of years old to work as well as a device you can buy today is a bit unrealistic.

I agree with Bally - at least we benefit from up-to-date software through the hard work of the cooks and developers at XDA-Devs.

Personally, my Polaris has never worked better or faster.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dortyboy:
u guys are so quick to jump to your own conclusions! i never said i did not like my polaris; i love it! i am simply saying that there comes a time especially with htc devices that as we say a particular phone has run its course.

i just wanted to spark some interest in the phone and apparently i did.

i was just frustrated how expensive htc phones are and its up to private individuals to make them work better. maybe htc should be paying XDA for there hard work
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ZED_pt:
I dont think HTC like´s XDA much for obvious reasons....the reasons that made me fall in love with this community.

I bought my Polaris 2 years ago and i see new models in stores that are a few levels down so i cant complain and i will only trade my polaris for a tegra device,the rest is just small improvements

Hi All,

I bought my Orbit 2 for Christmas, second hand.

I immediately flashed the rom to C Shekar's' "a" rom, then his "b" rom; added S2U2, a few bits and bobs, changed the theme and am now happy.

It is fast enough, and I use it extensively for e mail and TomTom navigation.

I like it!

Where to go from here?
