[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
The H in Hero is just a custom icon by HTC. All Dreams are capable of HSxPA regardless of whether that icon shows up or not. As for the carrier side, you are most likely on HSDPA. If you are on any T-Mobile network or most Asian networks (Taiwan, Japan, China) they are HSDPA. An easy way to verify is to start a speed test. Any speed higher than 384Kb/s downstream (384Kb/s ~= 48KByte/sec) means you are on HSDPA.

If all that was too complex, just assume you are on HSDPA.

Iconz

I had thesame issue with the Touch Pro on sprint, it only shows the EVDO icon when connecting:eek:, however, sprint is even advertising their new 4G network but I have not seen my phone ever go to 3G or above. I thought something was wrong with my phone:mad:...

I went to sprint to get it exchanged because I bought the phone for the faster service. I was given a big spill over the offered network on sprint.

Your answer: Basically, some icons are not unlocked in some roms or are not even included depending on your service provider. This being said, you will most likely have to have the custom rom to get this to show up on your phone.

But even if your phone does not show that icon, test it and see if it uses the technology.

- What I did is took my TP to my friend who has the new Iphone 3G and we started the YOUTUBE app and loaded the exact same video. Even though his showed the 3G icon all the time and mine only showed EVDO, my phone brought the video up almost 5 seconds before the Iphone ever did, not to mention the quality of video is so much better.

Ok, I see that I am rambling, I hope that this helps though, however, if I have been informed incorrectly, please someone correct me because I would like the other icons too, just for my aesthetic needs.

i got an ev icon

this is kind of in relation to this thread...i was running one of drizzys hero builds and i was in new york one night...this only happens when im in the village..dont know why but anywho...i got an ev icon..im assuming that was for evdo cause i heard the new hero dumps have cdma support..dont know if im very wrong but the icon switched from 3g to ev and when i got on the browser i was impressed...my connection was flaming fast i mean ridiculous ive never seen nething like it...can anyone elaborate
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Your rom can't give you cdma support, that is hardware related. And the G1 is only on GSM networks not any CDMA's so you might have seen some other type of icon because it is not possible to get EVDO on any G1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonkasnucca:
these were my thought exactly...but i promise and swear to you it said EV not evdo but EV and my connection was faster than ive ever seen before..im going to get that screenshot capture nd next time wen i go to the spot where it happened i will show you...dont know how its possible or what it was..but it was super fast
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
I aint saying I don't believe you, I just know it is impossible to get CDMA on a G1 no matter what rom or dump. What I would assume is it was HSxPA and the rom you used had a dump from the sprint hero. That could explain why you had a EV icon and is most likely what happened. Like the other guy said his touch pro had a EV icon although it was getting 3G, so since you do have a 3G icon and it switched to EV it is probably because the area you were in had HSxPA.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonkasnucca:
yea that makes sense but wow was it fast..thanx for the input
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
HSUPA gets like 7.2mbps so it is like cable almost, I'm not sure about HSDPA but its is pretty quick too.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadrunnerx7:
how would i get this speed on my g1? im on tmobile with the android plan..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnted:
Go somewhere that has t-mobile 3g coverage. That is the only way to get the speed you inquired about. If it's not in your area yet, be patient. They are doing alot of expansions to their network. If you live in a rather remote area (ex: somewhere that doesn't have EDGE coverage) don't hold your breath. It's gonna be a while.

HSDPA and HSUPA are both 3G telephony protocols in the HSPA family. They are two parts of the same thing. HSDPA (Downlink) provides up to 14 Mbit/s. HSUPA (Uplink) provides up to 5.8 Mbit/s.

btw HSPA (or 3g as US carriers call it) is CDMA. Though different from CDMA2000(EV-DO) which is what you were refering to, UMTS is still CDMA based.

And to those confused about the Icons. 3g and HSPA are two names for the same thing. The icon you see simply depends on what the common name for the technology is in the locale the rom was originally designed for. Google based roms usually show 3g whereas HTC based roms sometimes hav H instead. The only difference is the icon.

as for those with EV icons. They are probably from the samsung galaxy system dump. Not to say it's not out there, but I haven't heard anything about a sprint version of the hero rom surfacing yet.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Ohh I guess I didn't have it right. But I know I have seen something about HSxPA gettin 7.2. Damn 14mbits is insane for a cell, I wish I got that in my area. My DSL is only like 7mbits dl and 1.something upload.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurnted:
Should get it eventually. I only get 7.2 as well, but t-mobile has the whole 1700 band leased, so we might get lucky over the next few years.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Hi,

Since my Hermes fell off the table people keep complaining that they have problems hearing my voice while talking on the phone. They say the volume of my voice is too low. When using a headset everything's fine.

I've never had a problem like that, nevertheless I dismantled the Hermes to see if there was anything wrong with the microphone after the fall, but it seemed ok.

I also recorded my own voice using the voice recorder in WM6 to test the microphone and strangely enough my voice sounds pretty loud and clear to me.

After some googling I found that many people seem to have a problem with their voice barely being heard by other people on the phone.

Solutions I could not find and I do not understand why that problem has occurred after the Hermes fell down, as it seems to be software-related (otherwise my mic-test would have resulted in a low-volume recording, which it did not).

Has anyone here had that problem and found a solution?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Well, I've solved the problem, although not by the means I originally wanted to. I just did a recovery of a Backup from before the day the Hermes fell down and voila - everything works again as it should (although I still don't get it how the phone falling down can change the SOFTWARE, but hey, as long as it works).

Again we see the importance of regular backups. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sylpheed:
I had this problem before. tried to fix it but didn't work. Flashed all sorts of roms, all didn't work. Even newly flashed roms still had this problem.

Headset is fine

but just speaking into the mic isn't.

Same as you, recording works fine too, but mic to phone just doesn't work. I am curious how did you dissasemble your phone though, do you have a manual or something?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Hi again,

Well, the problem's back again. Even after resetting the Hermes at first it worked fine, but later people complained again that my voice was too low. So it seems that the problem is first solved by resetting/backup recovery, but then reappears. Don't know how that is possible, but I fear that it is indeed hardware-related. :(

Has anyone any suggestions as to what I can do?

Am I right in assuming that the hole next to the one for resetting the phone is for the microphone? Because when I dismantled my Hermes the corresponding part did not look like a microphone at all. Here's a picture of what I am talking about:

Is the part where the black rubber-thingy (circled below) that easily falls off when dismantling is placed over the microphone?

As for the dismanteling, go there:

http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html

and search for "Hermes", there are some nice guides there.

I appreciate any hints that could lead to me solving this problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Update:

I've been searching for corresponding Registry Entries and so far have found these:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Phone

Changing "Vol" to 65535 increased the mic volume a little bit, but it was still too low for being acceptable (I have been testing the volume by placing my Hermes next to my PC speaker while playing an audiobook at a normal volume and calling my landline as to see how it sounds).

See also here for the thread where I found this info.

I also found these two threads:

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-260171.html

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-256734.html

My Values at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAINx were originally at 18 and 19. I changed them first to AA and this did, or so it seemed, increase the volume more notably. Changing the Values to CC however changed little compared to AA (although this should make the mic even louder). I may be mistaken, but I even think that the quality was better with AA.

I am not familiar with the actual volume of the mic at the receiver's end, but in my opinion the volume was pretty ok. I will call a few of the people who have been complaining and see what they have to say about the volume.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Update:

I just called my brother and he said my voice was as low as before, so my modifications had no effect. :(

Next thing I will try is to totally disassemble my Hermes and put it back together so to check every connection that might have gone loose.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Update: Dismantled it totally (except for the screen part) - didn't help either. :(

Seems like there is no solution to this problem. Most likely I will have to get a replacement. This sucks.

Exactly the same problem here.

(No phone audio but Note recording & Headset works fine)

Only the phone was not dropped. Just happened !

Did a reset but did'nt wok either !

Phones in great condition.

Like you though it was a Software Issue

How much was a new mic ?

Can it be economically soldered on ?

Is there no solution whatsoever ?

Please keep me updated

Many Thanks:):)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] EricCartman:
Hi Sampler,

In the end I found no solution to my problem. Got myself a Vario III and am using that one ever since.

Please let me know if you find anything that can solve this.

Greets,

Cartman
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Some of these problems (I don't say all) may be caused by damage to the mini USB port and the fine wires inside it. The port has wiring related to sound both earpiece and Mic. As you know connecting a handsfree headset cuts off the Mic and earpiece, so you can see that damage to the port or bend pins inside it can cause Mic problems. This may be why sound recording is fine, but in phone mode the Mic is cut off.

I say this only to avoid the assumption that the Mic is damaged (it may be), but it can also be the port and associated wiring that causes the problem. If you are dismantling check the solder contacts around the USB port for cracks and also for bent pins in the socket.

Hi guys,

I`ve got my TD2 a few weeks ago and I`m very happy with it....but thinking of giving a try for spb mobile shell...

The thing is that when I use the included youtube app I can´t get acces to the same videos that I got from the real youtube site, for example I serch "sweet child o´mine" on the site I get acces to the REAL music video, but on the HTC app I only get crappy versions of it, so does this happen to everyone, is a bug, is there a solution for that???

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tmaxey1:
Hello guys. New to the forum here. I currently have been using an unlocked jailbroken iphone for the last 2 years. I have a contract with TMobile USA and will not be changing carriers. I pretty much get the sweetest deal possible (unlimited calling $49 per month).

Tmobile will be getting the Magic as a mytouch 3g in another month. However, once i saw the UI for the Hero i became a huge fan of that device. I am trying to decide between keeping iphone, getting mytouch 3g, or buying an unlocked Hero from Europe. Here are my thought on each and i want to see others opinions.

1. Keeping Iphone- I am so bored with this phone. I have unlocked it and did everything that can be done to try to keep it interesting but i think it may be time to get rid of it. I do use it for an ipod everyday and its great for this. Has a weak camera but has 3.5mm headphone jack. Can only get Edge signal with tmobile in the usa.

2. Mytouch 3g- has android. But not the slick UI of the hero. Has a weaker camera than hero and no headphone jack without adapter. However, would have 3g speeds.

3. Hero- would cost the most by far. Price about 600-700 usd vs 199 for mytouch due to carrier subsidy. Would not get 3g signal on tmobile usa. But that android combined with Rosie UI is very appealing. Plus it has a 5 megapixel camera.

I would think of waiting for the hero to come to america but everything points to it not coming to tmobile. So it wouldnt be any better to me if it came to at&t or sprint.

What i am trying to convince myself of is the ability to install the Rosie Rom on the Mytouch 3g. How practical is this? Is the process the same for the tmobile branded magic as it is for the European magics that people have done this to? Has the Rom been perfected enough at this point to use it in this fashion? I can follow directions as this is how i have been able to keep unlocking and jailbraking my iphone over the last 2 years. But it seems like this process that i have looked at so far for this phone rom is much more complicating than the iphone jailbrake.

So what would you guys do? I appreciate all opinions.

Hi all,

I really wanted to try out the latest Hero build. So I began the procedure, first by flashing the radio, then the SPL. The radio update went fine. I also installed the new SPL (no errors whatsoever), but when I checked to see whether I had the correct version, it displayed HSPL10.95.3000 (I had installed a HardSPL before). I reapplied Haykuro's SPL update, and still no change. How can I remove the HardSPL, and is it okay to continue the Hero install with my version? I don't want to brick my phone (obviously) and I'm quite a newbie.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
You cannot "remove" the SPL. it can only be overwritten by the Haykuro SPL. I suggest re-downloading the Haykuro SPL and flashing it again. Do not flash a hero rom with the SPL that you currently have.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshkata:
Thanks for the reply. I tried overwriting it again with Haykuro's SPL, but it didn't work. On this website, I found that

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Well if you remove HardSPL what SPL will you have for that like 5 minutes or so? Try flashing to Engineering SPL first and then flash Haykuro's Special SPL

After have Touch HD for 100 daysI, have got a problem with it, it is about battery charging.

When HD turns on, it shows battery is low, then HD turns off automaticlly.

I tried charging battery with AC or USB, the Charging light is on but after hours, when turn on the devices it still shows battery is low, then turns off.

I changed a battery, it goes well, the device is on with all the fuction running well. and the previous battery is working after change the battery again. and it shows the battery is 90%.

But after a day. the problem is back again. and this time no matter what battery I changed, it still shows battery is low. and won't charge. even with the full battery the problem is same.

If you have the experience with this, please I do need your help.

BTW, The rom is from the factory.

Maybe the battery is fine, people have experinced problem with the actual charger. Have you tried charging through the computer?

Yes, I have tried charging with Computer, AC adpator and even Only charges the battery.

But the problem is not solved.

I suspect the HD's battery chip which manages the battery charging maybe broken ( if there is a battery chip)
[Touch HD General] crajee:
Disconnect the HD from USB/Wall outlet. Remove the battery. Short circuit the pins in the HD battery compartment with a wire/metal piece. (never short the battery - it may explode!).

This helps in most cases for this problem. If not then warranty is the way to go.
