[myTouch 3G, Magic General] simaom:
Hello,

I am having a very strange problem with my HTC magic.

I thoroughly tested this, and I always get similar results, my upload is much faster than my download. I am getting 61 kbps downloading and 814 kbps uploading, this is a huge difference.

I had a perfect SPL, I downgraded it and tested my phone with the latest cyanogenmod and RA1.6.2 DONUT ROM and I got the same results. I never noticed this with the stock ROM, although I never tested it.

Also, I am using 3G watchdog, and it says I uploaded much more than what I downloaded, maybe my phone is using 3G/HSDPA to transmit but not to receive?

Hope you can help me.

Thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] simaom:
I just tried with the latest myhero ROM and I get similar results.

Here's my info:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

Jun 2 2009,17:27:03

Is it my radio version? SPL? Hardware problem? Please help.

Thank you.

EDIT: Updated my radio to 3.22.23.18 but I still getting the same values...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] oshizzle1991:
service can fluctuate sometime...if it keeps happening call your carrier and let them take you off the network then put you back on it and see if that helps
[General Topics] chyau.00:
So i got a motorola milestone and I realized that its not supported by Rogers to run on 3g.

Does any one know of a hack to solve this problem??

Please help.
[General Topics] Geniusdog254:
Nope. Its a hardware issue. Should have waited for Telus to release a Milestone that works on our frequences in 1H 2010...
[General Topics] chyau.00:
are there adapters that i can use for this??
[General Topics] Geniusdog254:
Nope (10chars)
[General Topics] coolVariable:
Return it.

And let them know how pissed off you are that they don't sell a version with North American 3G unlocked.
[General Topics] ivansf:
What about the motorola milestone they have in NewEgg?

Works on: AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers, Fido

GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

UMTS 900/2100 MHz

It says it supports Rogers and Fido, but will it work on 3G?
[General Topics] Duwenbasden:
UMTS 900/2100 MHz

your answer is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and no.
[General Topics] ivansf:
I think I'm finally getting it.

Rogers is 850/1900 for both GSM and 3G

AT&T is 850/1900 for both also

Telus is also 850/1900.

Found a lot of good info at GSMworl(dot)com/roaming/gsminfo/cou_ca.shtml

It sucks that I can't post links
[General Topics] Duwenbasden:
Rogers / Fido is only 850 in most places. 1900 only works in a few areas. That's why I throw a fit everytime a manufacturer only put 1900 in their handset.
[General Topics] tase25:
I can confirm that 3G will not work. I found out the hard way with my Milestone.

Internet is still faster than normal Edge, but not as fast as 3G.
[G1 General] cb7tuner93:
Hello, so after seeing the reviews and videos of the much anticipated "Nexus One" phone or should I say "BEAST" of a phone we as G1 or Dream users are left to wonder, What do Android and HTC have for us in the future do they think about us? It seems that with better and faster more agile processors being released to such phones like the Nexus, future ROMs or mods will be too much for our limited G1's. It used to be if you wanted to run customized Roms then only you decided wether "Hard Soft SPL" "partitioning or not partitioning" and etc, now it seem that will be the only way to run these sick out of this world roms in the coming days, in the future of Android. Android 2.1 makes me think of the possibilities of technology in our century but also of the budget of our pocket money between deciding necessity or commodity. I saw a developer asking for help or donations to help him get a phone for test. I for one woul love to be able to donate but as it is economy status is "Force Close" in Androids Terms. Please comment on this if you'd like, Just a thought.
[G1 General] maxawesome:
Everyone running CM could probably donate $0.50 and it would be enough to get him a Nexus One.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
The only thing that isn't future proof with the DREAM is the douchebags at HTC failing to provide required source or at LEAST give us new proprietary binaries for our hardware.

The device doesn't have to be super duper newest latest greatest thing to run a new set of software. Just because GN1 happens to have the equivalent of an AMD Radeon R600 GPU (yes, it is even an AMD GPU built on that same architecture) doesn't mean that what Dream has can't chug through the work! We *have* a 3D GPU to handle the required visual effects. Maybe not as smooth, but it WILL DO IT! Compiz runs at 1600x1200 great on a crappy Intel GPU, which is architecturally INFERIOR to the GPU in the GN1!!! And Compiz does the same kind of effects! But we only need to worry about 320x480.

Android has and does run on a retardedly out of date Palm Treo 650. Not so good, but just to note, the difference between a Treo 650 and an HTC Dream is MUCH MUCH greater than the difference between an HTC DREAM and a GN1!

IT CAN BE DONE.

It HAS been done.

But the problem is with HTC! They don't have the same kind of respect for open source as AMD has (providing all required programming documentation, and quite a bit of labor, for open source drivers for GPUs up to and including R800).

The solution:

We need to reverse engineer (parts of) the proprietary binaries! And starting with the parts needed for the CAMERA.

We could possibly make this part functional by writing something as simple as a wrapper library to adapt the OLD camera library to meet the requirements of the NEW AOSP.

The compromise:

Maybe not all of the advanced coolness will work out, but that is the great thing about source code... it may not be necessary! Some stuff can be dumbed down to work.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
How's that going to help with DREAM?
[G1 General] pureimagination:
.50 cents?

If everyone gave Steve a penny then he could buy 2 Nexus Ones and a new snowboard. Everyone that uses CM, parts of CM, Recovery Image??? That has got to be at this point the Majority of Dream\Magic users. I wish there was a way to count.

Donate to Steve if you use anything of his. He is a great help to the community.

[G1 General] linuxluver:
Guess we make the future.

With the source for the basic android freely available, it's up to Dream / G1 users to write their own future after the first 2 years are up.

If you're not a developer, then maybe this would be worth learning to do.....if not for this phone, then for your next one.

I'm thinking that in the 21st century, the truly free person will be able to grow their own food, build their own house...and write their own software.

At this point, not being able to write software is beginning to feel like not being able to read and write. Always relying on someone else to do it for you....and having NO CLUE if you can't do it for yourself. I don't like that feeling. I've started learning how to program: C / C++ and Java. Don't want to be useless or dependent.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Looks like I'm all set then.... :D
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Hey all: what happens when you put the obsolete camera binary in a 2.0 image? Is it an unknown symbol error? If it is, then it might be easier to deal with than the general assumption!
[G1 General] melterx12:
Cyanogen already has the nexus one. he said hes not totally dropping support for g1/32B but I would expect the frequency of his updates will go down.
[G1 General] arsieiuni:
My one huge question in regards to the N1...

How is the battery?

Because the G1 is a wonderful phone... when you can use it.

Anyone have any idea how the N1's battery compares to G1 and iPhone?
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
Coming from the g1 to nexus one as far as battery life is concerned is like night and day imo. When i wiped my phone on g1 i reinstalled all my apps i use, 96 total in market and on sdcard and had less than 40% battery left. I did the same with the nexus one to test the battery and when i was done it was down to 87%
[G1 General] arsieiuni:
See what does it tell you about the importance of battery life... that I see the Nexus One with all its shiny-ness and I think I'd like one... but not until hearing this comparison do I feel like "OMG NEED ONE NOW GIMME GIMME GIMME!"?

Haha..... G1's battery was its major weakness. I'd love to have a very similar phone with a GOOD battery. :)

I saw someone say that Nexus one wasn't able to sync the Calendar. Is this true? It may have just been a misleading statement... and I'm hoping so because I can't imagine Google making a newer, better phone that can't do a simple thing like keep your Gcalendar like G1 can.

Can you get all the same apps on Nexus one since it's Android?
[G1 General] melterx12:
My N1 can sync with calendar no problems. Some apps you cannot use yet because they do not support the newer Android 2.1 OS. Most apps have no problem with it. Thsoe that dont work will no doubt be updated by the developers once the Android 2.1 SDK will be released.
[G1 General] arsieiuni:
Yeah... I'm gonna want one. I will not get one until May more than likely because my contract with Tmobile won't run out til then but... that'd be alright. It gives me time to save up for it.

I wonder if you can get the n1 for contract price with Tmobile if you just sign upf or their $40/month unlimited web service.

Anyone else heard of this: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google Mobile/thread?tid=7154dabda82d872e&hl=en ?

Sounds like win to me...
[G1 General] Scarface 2k3:
Does anyone no if the apps on the Nexus one save to sd now?
[G1 General] melterx12:
no they do not. Google has confirmed though that in a future update they will.
[Nexus One General] Yannn:
Hi, before buy one I need some informations :

What about / is exit :

- FM radio (RDS or not) ?

- a tv out possibility ?

- USB host (snapdragon) ?

- Is it easy to plug bleutooth headset ?

- Can it be use like a 3G modem plugged to my PC under windows or linux ?

So if you have some answers ... thank

Amicaly, in the new year starting
[Nexus One General] Ryanmo5:
They are working on tethering right now and should have it out really soon.
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
A lot of these things are in development. It's still too early to tell what this device is capable of. I will say if you don't want or can't afford an IPhone this is your best bet. I have no regrets on spending the $500
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
-FM Radio chip exists in the phone but there is no software to take advantage of it. If the chip is not locked there will be software out soon on the market.

-Android OS supports TV out and USB also supports it. However there is no accessory out for nexus one yet.

-I have no idea what youre asking here.

-Yes it is easy to plug in a bluetooth headset.

-Tethering is not available out of the box. you need to root the phone to use tethering. Rooting the phone requires voiding your warranty (read about how to root nexus one in these forums)
[Touch Cruise General] jakup:
I'm writing this for the second time, had to re-run Firefox and ctrl+c magically failed :rolleyes:

First, the miniUSB/headset issue

I've bought a second-hand Polaris a few days ago. It's a great phone but it would've been even better without the problems ;-). The headset doesn't work properly - the left earphone works, but the right one doesn't. I tried both MP3s (with the Audio Manager and WMP) and the FM radio. I think the problem might be in the phone's miniUSB port which looks like this:

Here are my questions - is it really the case? Is it repairable or do I have to send the phone back to HTC to have it fixed? Does the warranty cover such damage or will they charge me?

Now, the microSD problem

The guy whom I bought the phone from, provided an 8GB microSDHC card. It was working perfectly fine until yesterday. The phone has decided not to list the files there. It does detect the card - Options > Memory shows the proper capacity and free/used space (about 3GB, which are mostly maps for a GPS app), File Explorer shows the "Storage Card" folder, but there are no files or folders inside it. Unfortunately, my card reader is one of the most famous and popular throughout the world "Made in China" brand ;-) so it has problems with SDHC cards. I did something else, though. I put the microSD into the SD adapter and then into my camera, which didn't detect any files too. After I had taken a photo and put the card back in to the phone, I found something interesting. With the File Explorer, I accessed the Storage Card folder and two another folders were there - MISC and DCIM with the photo I made. Options > memory still shows the proper free/used space, as if the old files are still there. What might be the case?

Thanks and Cheers,

jakup
[Nexus One General] dills84:
I had my nexus side by side with a Droid last night. And I noticed that when the AMOLED screen on the nexus dims down. it gets REALLY red and distorts the contrast/colors alot.

Is this normal? When my brightness is at a normal setting it looks great. its only when it gets dim. Im a little concerned.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
its fine, thats just how AMOLED displays work.
[Nexus One General] bcpk:
I can't agree that it's fine ... if colour infidelity is part and parcel of AMOLED then maybe HTC should reconsider their use of it. I notice the red tint at all brightness levels but it's most noticeable at the lowest level.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
I always have the brightness at 0% and automatic to off when not plugged in. Don't see any severe redness.
[Nexus One General] luisasia:
well, I guess it's not normal , I got my frist one with dead pixel but the color is bright so I did a refund as they recomended and buy a second one but this one came with redish screen..... I did the comparison and the one with the dead pix is a lot more brighter , so my luck sucks
[Nexus One General] e4604:
This is my second nexus, both have pinkish hue when on lowest brightness
[Nexus One General] everclock:
I haven't noticed any red/pink issues at any brightness with my phone, but I haven't done any side-by-side comparisons.

Call HTC support and see if this is a known problem they fix or if it is just part of a normal working Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] ahamster:
It's a part of a normal Nexus One. My friend had the red / pinkish hue on his screen and called HTC for a replacement. Once the replacement came, it was exactly the same hue. But with 50% brightness, it isn't noticeable. However, I'm probably the lucky one because I don't experience the 'problem' with 0% brightness on my Nexus.
[Nexus One General] kwanying:
Some nexus one don't have the red tint, I got 2 nexus one and one have the other doesn't show any red tint even at lowest brightness. I guess its just difference screen from difference suppliers.
[Nexus One General] ztm.000:
I agree with this completely.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dneiding:
Does anyone know why (or how to fix) the icons in my status bar are getting cropped?

I have an HTC Touch Diamond from Alltel using Windows Mobile 6.1. This started after I did a hard rest this weekend and re-configured everything on my phone.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dneiding:
Bump...anyone got any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dneiding:
I found a way to fix this. I made a reg change to show the battery on the status bar and it seems fixed. If anyone is interested the reg change was:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 0

and

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1

As the title says, is it possible to change where manila gets weather data from? I find AccuWeather to be inaccurate, Im from the UK if that makes any difference. I would prefer if my weather data came from BBC weather, or MetOffice or something. Is it possible to change this?

Ive had a look around but couldnt find anything.

Im on WM 6.5 with Manila 2.1. I really like the look of Sense 2.1/2.5 with the weather background and stuff, Ive not flashed to one of the newer roms yet but will do soon...but having a sunny background when its really snowing outside makes no sence does it!
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Completly agree!

I would like to know also if this is possible

accuweather is not very accurate:rolleyes::eek::D

[Networking] thazandril:
Hello xda-developers.com,

I was wandering if it is possible to force my HD2 (running Windows Mobile 6.5) to only accept a data connection if it is 3G/HSPA instead of the normal GSM . Where I live, the connection is poor, although even when it has zero bars of reception, the connection is good and fast response through websites (latency is low on the mobile speed test).

Even though the phone thinks it's poor reception and thus switches to GSM, is there a way to block GSM and only accept a 3G/HSPA connection?

Thanks for any help,

Thazandril.

EDIT: GSM/GPRS I don't know which one it is, it just has a big G as the connection symbol, and it's terribly slow.
[Networking] Rudegar:
in my phone settings->phone->band

select your gsm/umts band.

I can choose

UMTS

and it only use 3g/hspa
[Networking] thazandril:
Hi Rudegar,

Thank you for the fast response, however, I cannot seem to find that option anywhere in my settings. I've checked the 'connections' but can't find anything that sounds like what you have mentioned in your post.
[Networking] Owendavies:
Go to Settings -> Menu, All Settings -> Personal -> Phone

That will take you to the right area, then just have a look through those options.
[Networking] thazandril:
Thanks a lot, cheers for the help, have a good one!

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] jigar2speed5095:
You really need to do some research my friend.

Alright, let me save your time. Just search for Omapclockkeep, you'll clear your old taboo. :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] jigar2speed5095:
Just for the information, i have happily cruised my VIVA's CPU at 250MHZ, battery life is ok, not much affected.

Battery lasts 2 days with occasional WIFI plus Bluetooth.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] su8044:
3 apps

I've seen 3 apps so far that promisses the posibility to OC ppc...

Omapclockkeep

(posted in this thread)

Speed Booster

_www .teksoftco. com/index.php?section=speedbooster_

Pocket Hack Master

_www .wizcode. com/products/view/pocket_hack_master_

and pocket hack master even says it can prolong battery life (they also have another app called Pocket Battery Analyzer that seems good)

Anyone tried the apps? do they really work?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] jigar2speed5095:
I am using Omap keep cause you can keep the default speed at ideal and as soon as you start using it, you can set the speed like 250 and gain the extra performance through overclocking...
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] zuperxtreme:
I'm using Homescreen++, which has a great overclock utility called CPU Scaler. It dynamically overclocks the CPU when the phone actually requires it, therefore saving lots of battery life. It also reduces the speed when it's idle to save even more. You just give it a min, max and boost value(when apps are really demanding) and it does the rest. It also monitors power consumption(maH, mW) and CPU temp. Good stuff.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] jigar2speed5095:
I have used it and my personal experience of using PPC for last 5 years says anything that monitors eat battery... :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] zuperxtreme:
haha, yeah obviously, but every bit counts, no? :p

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] GXFX:
Is there any way to add more pages to android ?

7 is good , but i´d like more :D

regards;

GXFX
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
The 7 pages you refer to aren't part of Android. they are part of the sense ui that HTC has overlaid on Android

AFAIK they cannot be increased.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Ceger:
If you install Bar Control, you can add a notification icon to launch the regular Android Home screen, thus having access to an additional 3 screens. However, these screens will only run regular widgets and not the HTC ones, but you do get 3 extra screens of real estate. To return to the Sense UI home, you just hit the Home button.

There are some other ways to do this as well.

Ceger
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] peterc10:
It is easier just to add Folders to one or more of the home pages. You can add up to 16 Folders per page and each Folder can in turn hold up to 16 widgets or app launchers. Just tap the Folder to opne it then tap the widget or app launcher you want.

So you can end up with (by my calculation)

7 pages x 16 folders x 16 apps = 1,792 widgets or app launchers (assuming they are all small size). Enough real estate for anybody surely?
