[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
I started noticing the 3G symbol about 2 days ago myself here in Toronto, before that it was 95% of the time E and sometimes just G. Now its 95% 3G and its unusual for it to go to E anymore. No idea though on benchmarks since I don't have a Data plan at the moment and so I only use it when I really need to. Will see if any friends have a data plan though and don't mind me borrowing my SIM for a few minutes and giving it a try, because I'm curious now. Getting the 30 fps VGA recording and 3G locally - that'd be awesome :).

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogadget:
Thanks, pdamouse. This gives me hope that Rogers has changed their 3g network, and that I'll now finally have a really cool phone.

Anyone else seeing the same thing?

Anyone have a tech contact at Rogers that might be able to confirm?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiaX1a:
maybe you just passed by one of the very few 1900mhz towers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogadget:
Called Rogers tech support earlier; the rep I spoke with had no idea, so he asked a colleague. The colleague apparently said they now support all 4 frequencies.

The colleague was on a call, so I couldn't get any further info.

So theoretically, I was told that Rogers is now running 3g on 850, 900, 1900, 2100 mhz.

I have not been able to find anything on Rogers' site to confirm in writing.

Anyone else able to confirm?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogadget:
Aha! Think it may be related to Rogers introduction of the HSPA+ ROCKET™ MOBILE INTERNET STICK

See: http://your.rogers.com/Store/Wireless/products/rstick_info.asp

Specs there indicate:

Technology: HSPA+/EDGE/GSM

Frequency:

HSPA+/UMTS 850/1900/2100Mhz

GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900Mhz

Data Transmission:

HSDPA – Up to 21Mbps downlink

HSUPA – Up to 5.76Mbps uplink
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt1408:
Great I am not the only one that noticed this. Last week I was walking to the subway and noticed 3G and H on my phone. I was blown away! I spent the weekend downtown and had 3G/HSPA everywhere. Couldn't do a speedtest but it was definately faster than EDGE.

From what I noticed, downtown Toronto now has 1900 3G but as you leave the city towards Mississauga you go back to EDGE.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimwang76:
Got the same situation on last Friday when driving at 401 and 404. But didn't get a chance to test the speed before it jumped back to EDGE.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogadget:
I'm getting 3g consistently in Aurora and Newmarket. Better in some areas than others.

Also noticed 3g as I was coming down the 404.

Now in Pickering, and it's completely back to edge.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelWalker:
ok wtf, i bought my phone from rogers, and i've been getting 3G and H for a month now, but i just checked settings->device information->identity and under model it says x1i not x1a. anyone else noticing this? maybe because of custom rom?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gogadget:
from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4579528

go into Settings, System, Device Information. Select the Hardware tab. Beside the first entry, CPU, you'll see one of two things:

"QUALCOMM(R) 7200A" means you've got X1i

"QUALCOMM(R) 7201A" means you've got X1a
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
lol I live within 200 meters of where those highways meet (404/DVP and 401) - that might be why I've been seeing 3G on my phone 100% of the time I'm at home. I never thought being this close to the busiest highway intersection in Canada would help me get better cell reception - but apparently it does :p.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitaljeff:
this was indeed due to the HSPA+ roll out rogers recently did. i can confirm this is the same situation on the west coast in Vancouver...thank you Rogers, now bell and telus the balls in your court.... pick it up!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimwang76:
Lucky you. The 3G signal disapears at Finch, so I still can only get EDGE at home. Hopefully more towers will be upgraded soon.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt1408:
Today I managed to stay in place long enough to do a speed test.

I got 2.2mbs down and 0.65 up. Not really mind blowing but I was in a building and wasnt getting full signal. Also, there is 3G in north Mississauga, it's weird.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
Sorry man, I'm sure they will be adding more towers - the area is expanding quite quickly. I was suprised at getting the signal more than anything, and someone mentioning right where I live as the place they see it - I way way over use the : P smiley...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjaminries:
wait a second here

This thread doesn't make sense - I have read elsewhere that the X1a and the X1i have identical cell frequencies.

To confirm, can someone with an X1i do the following:

Go Start > Settings > Personal > Phone.

Select the Band tab.

The second drop-down box entitled "Select your GSM/UMTS band" should give the following options:

Auto

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100+900)

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

UMTS(2100)

Those are the options I get on my X1a, purchased directly from Rogers. Aren't those the options on your X1i as well?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
I actually get this on my X1i:

Auto

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)

UMTS(2100+800)

But we are discussing 3G support and HSDPA - they use different frequencies for that here as opposed to Europe, and the X1i uses those European Frequencies, while the X1a is specialized for North America. The GSM Quadband is a given that it will work everwhere there is GSM - but the 3G bands are not universal.

A question ?

For the past 1hrs ive been trying to get my phone to work. I installed cynogens recovery image 1.4 and after that tryed installing a theme and got a black screen i then notice it was because i didnt remove the icons b4 this. I was stuck cause i didnt have an sdcard reader so ive been using my cousin LG phone to transfer my data to the sdcard. So i tryed re-flashing the rom (Cynogen 4.0.4) with wip. Still got the black screen. Tryed a new rom (JACxHEROSki-v2.1) with wip , goes pass the G1 screen to the aqua blue cynogen android scate board screen to the black screen. Help ?

MOD EDIT

if you have a ? please give a hint in the title to what it is.

thank you
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidChill:
you might want to avoid constantly opening new threads, especially one that just has "?" in the subject; this one might get closed.

if your sdcard is partitioned correctly for cyanogenmod (ext2/ext3 - fat32) then you'll probably need to wipe the ext2/ext3 partition and wipe then reflash the rom. I haven't gone to a HERO rom yes myself, so i'm not sure if there is another step involved for that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUriel:
Ive never partitioned for Cynogen i have a clean 1g no partitions. Its always worked for me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironnius:
Im assuming that you didnt create a nandroid backup when you installed the recovery image? and let's both assume since you had Cyan running before that you have the correct Radio and SPL images.

ok, if you have no partitions we can skip a couple of steps.. try this, connect your phone to youe PC, boot into recovery with Home & Power and type the following commands.

alt&X to enter console

push enter

ums_enable

this will mount your sd and open it on your PC so you can verify that you have the correct update.zip on the root of your SD.

ums_disable

reboot recovery

alt&W

alt&S

If you are going to start flashing roms you really want to consider getting a bigger SD card, my nandroid backup is like, 900mb and without that it's kinda like playing russian roulette with your phone. I hope this helps.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
You can go in the nandroid folder and delete old backups, folder names have dates. :) You can also store all of the folders and put them on your sdcard as needed, Nandroid only uses the one with the newest date anyways.

do we have to input in console or go to file path and drop the files in there?

sorry just not clear with the actual directions
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
there can be some problems with pushing settings.apk when it is not in an update.zip but here are recovery console commands you can try. have all of the files on the root of your sdcard

mount sdcard
mount system
cp /sdcard/android.policy.jar /system/framework/android.policy.jar
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
cp /sdcard/framework.jar /system/framework/framework.jar
cp /sdcard/services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
cp /sdcard/Settings.apk /system/app/Settings.apk
(if [B]cp[/B] does not work try [B]mv[/B])
reboot

even if they don't work you will learn something about the how push files in the recovery console. so whenever some says adb push this is the same thing basically.

Does this ROM disable ability to Tether?

I read over on PPCGeeks that this ROM disables the ability to tether, has anyone tried?
[Touch Pro CDMA] hausman:
It does disable the tethering hack. It prevents the ForceCellConnection key from being changed from "Phone as Modem" to "Sprint". When you change it, it immediately reverts back to "Phone as modem" in the registry. I suppose either a process is checking it constantly, or there's a process by which reg edits can be automatically reversed, or it is read only, or ...

Here's hoping some smart person will figure it out. The touch improvements in this ROM are huge (finger scrolling); they make the device ten times easier to use.
