Ok, please disregard the fact I work for TMO! The Nexus one phone is an awesome phone but was not made with Tmo specs and therefore if there are any areas that have thin 3G coverage and the only phone having this issue is the nexus 1, then one should see it is a software issue and not ONLY a coverage issue. I agree coverage could be better in some areas but the G1 and MT3G are not having this issue at all! True, if coverage was thicker in some areas we wouldn't have issues! It has to be the fact that Google wanted AT&T customers to experience android with 3g so they had to try and expand what the phone can run on, so they probably made the radio too weak to completely connect in thin areas. I Do see an ota "on forums not officially" from "HTC/GOOGLE" going out soon to try and fix the issue. I Have no idea when that will happen. This is all speculation and I have only stated my opinion nothing I found out from my job!

Hope this helps!

Some of the speed tests you guys post are crazy! I've tested all over the place in Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, and Virginia Beach... top DL I've gotten is about 500kb and 400kb up thats kilobits not bytes.
[Nexus One General] ryan22158:
Seems to work great

I did pretty much everything that you guys have suggested. Except for what the OP suggested :D

So, here is what I did. I disabled security under the APN. I changed the phone info settings to only accept 3G or HSPDA signal. Before I would consistently get an EDGE signal in my basement. Now I am always on 3G two bars or more. Pretty sick for a basement.

The highest speed I get is a little over 2000 kbps. I average around 1000 though.

Doing this also disable that annoying problem where the internet would hang because it was always switching between EDGE and 3G.

It's gotta be TMO.......

Greetings:

Recently I switched from iphone 3Gs to the Android Community. I ordered an

unlocked Nexus One from the Google store since I live in CA 94526 but work in

Toronto, Canada 7, 8 months out of the year. Fast forward to Friday when I flew back to Toronto with my Brand New N1. I immediately signed up with Fido

for a Voice/Data monthly package since they have the best prices and got good

reviews from my Canadian friends, right, WRONG: Fido originaly (1997) was built with the help of T-mobile and based on their technology, still !!!!!

Same as many people on States side, I'm constantly on "Edge" and although I

really like the phone, but I am somewhat upset. I hope Rooting the phone and one of your solutions will help me.

Now is this a coincidence or it is really T-Mobile !!!!! even up here!!!!!

Thanks for looking.
[Nexus One General] genibus:
With all due respect, fido and tmobile have no relation. To blame tmobile when g1, mytouch, and cliq do not have this issue.
[Nexus One General] djdarkknight96:
Weird how people have not noticed that ITS THE ONLY DEVICE HAVING THE ISSUE! So if google let TMO sell it with their specs, we would have got a Discount with no crazy rules and no 3G issues! Start looking out for a 1.5ghz TMO android device sometime in the near future....all I can say for now!
[Nexus One General] The Ourea:
EPE54B.. Suggestion..

I suggest the new EPE54B radio, It's the same as the ERE36B radio, but a little more tweaked and tuned by Google and Tmobile for Stability.. Jesus who knew how bad there service was till the Nexus One... :eek:
[Nexus One General] cheetah2k:
Its the same radio - no changes...
[Nexus One General] NPS_CA:
Fido's network is NO more; you are basically on Rogers network as a MNVO (virtual network).

Mobilicity which is about to launch will use same spectrum as TMO 3G; they will be in Toronto market first

http://mobilicity.ca/
[Nexus One General] falsehope66:
I live in Toronto and am currently on Wind Mobile's network. They use the same AWS network as T-Mobile. I get pretty good speeds on their 3G.
[Nexus One General] uberingram:
I'm getting internet hanging but not because of the EDGE issue. Happens about a dozen times a day. The Up arrow stays lit and I lose the ability to do anything with data for about a solid 1-2 minutes.
[Nexus One General] soloxp:
Ok…I see there’s a lot of a person having problems with 3g, H and Edge switching. To me I don’t have this problem if I’m on stock N1. I also have my stock N1 rooted with no problems with it switching.

Now as soon as I flash ANY Custom ROMs I get the problem. So is the problem with these Custom ROMs.

That’s the Big Question we need to be asking.
[Nexus One General] WorLord:
Actually, no, that's not the question we should be asking.

Switching between 3G and H is done *on purpose*. H is a faster form of 3G, but uses more battery power to enable. When your phone is on standby, it will back down to standard 3G until you actually decide to draw bandwidth. Once you do that, the phone's radio checks for HDSPA, and if it finds it, switches you over to H until you stop using bandwidth or until you suspend the screen.

Similarly, a switch to EDGE is expected if your 3G signal is too weak, lossy, or noisy - this can happen if you are on 3G, but have 0, 1, or even 2 bars.

As for not switching on Stock Roms: the stock roms suppress the "H" icon, but switch to/from H behind the scenes. It's happening, but you just don't *see* it unless you're running Cyanogen.

I think the question we should be asking is: is the switching I'm seeing proper behavior or not? In many respects, I think it is; the only thing I see "wrong" is switching to EDGE where not absolutely necessary.
[Nexus One General] soloxp:
Why don’t I have connection problems when I’m on stock…but on custom ROMs I have disconnect problems when it switch H and 3g and 2g. I lose connection for a few sec.

If it switch behind the scenes…Why don’t I lose connection when it switch on stock? I did a test on stock for 1 day with problem…on custom rom…I had disconnect problems here and there.

So what is there I’m missing here…:confused::confused:
[Nexus One General] uberingram:
I'm in the same boat and it's frustrating.
[Nexus One General] WorLord:
If it helps any: I was in the same boat with the 36b radio on any rom. I read someone had success by flashing the radio, rebooting, and flashing the same radio again (after installing cyan's rom, which is also based on the 36b package). This actually seems to have worked for me for reasons I cannot explain. Ymmv, though.
[Nexus One General] WorLord:
And by "worked" I mean that the switching happens, but appears to make sense, and I'm usually solidly connected even when completely switching bands ( say, from E to 3G).
[Nexus One General] MaxiJavi:
Hi,

Is there a widget or a shortcut to swap from 3G only to 3G/2G ?

I normally have good 3G coverage, but I'd like a quick way to switch without going into the testing menu.

Cheers

I unlocked my phone, and in SetCPU I used the "profiles" setting and set the Sleeping mode to 245/245.

This way when my screen is "off" the processor is running slower. There is NO noticeable lag when turning the screen back on... and I am getting CRAZY battery life, even after pretty heavy use.

The consensus seems to be (VERY generally): better than the G1, not quite as amazing as the i3GS, but above all highly dependent on what features of the phone you use.

SetCPU is an app, i think you can find it on here for free if you dont have a credit card or get it on the market for like a buck(just buy it and support the dev).

[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
I've been amazed at what I'm getting.. even with lots of stuff enabled I'm lasting more than a day. Just idling it was well on track to do 3 days+*.

Beats the pants off any other smartphone I've ever owned. Certainly not anything to worry about (assuming most people charge overnight.. if your usage pattern allows it to last 18 hours you're sorrted).

* But that's boring of course.. might as well leave it powered off at that point :p
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
When the phone is idle it spends most of its time downclocked anyway. I'd be surprised if you could save *that* much through setcpu but would be interested to see benchmarks.
[Nexus One General] roggrat:
Cycle the battery, mine lasts a whole day and is still half way by the time I get home after a full day of tinkering, receiving calls, emailing and playing games. You should let it discharge all the way then charge it up, all the way. Turn off apps you aren't running.
[Nexus One General] Over Achiever:
I think my issue previously was with it searching for a phone signal in a place where there was on. I tried today with my phone wireless off (in airplane mode) with wifi on, and used it extensively throughout my shift as necessary. After 13 hours, the battery only drained to 70%. That is downright amazing to me.

I also used it a couple days ago with the phone wireless on the entire day, 3G, as well as wifi. The phone that day lasted a good 20 hours before draining down to 10% remaining.

These two instances are both after I fully drained the battery and charged the battery twice.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pornopeter:
hi folks,

seems to be that i have a BIG problem...

my t-mobile diamond had some heavy connection problems the last days (apart from this battery sucking system that made me charge it twice a day), so i decided to install both a new radio rom and a new WM rom on it.

after all those attempts didnt work (yes, i've read the threads and yes, i've followed the instructions! :-) ), i got the ****ING IDEA to follow the instruction shown on youtube.com/watch?v=ZYGibMZC7-g (see also forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062) for a CDMA diamond. don't ask why, i thought that i could own a cdma phone as all of the gsm software didn't work... :-//

during step no. 1 (unlocking - yes, i wanted to do the whole programm! :-/ ) my diamond switched off and ... is dead now! no chance to switch it on, no chance to get into bootloader, no chance to hardreset...

now my question to the pros: do i have ANY chance to reanimate my diamond? i would be grateful for any ideas!!! thanks in advance,

p.p.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jfran:
have you tried vol down and soft reset simultaneously?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pornopeter:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] krabman:
Try a hard reset. If that doesnt work see if you can enter bootloader. Instructions can be found in a search.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pornopeter:
thanks, but as i've already written, both doesn't work. my diamond is simply... DEAD! :-(

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mjaxa:
It was quite common, when people were looking desperately for SU and were using CDMA soft.. Sorry to say this, but your diamond is a brick now, and only motherboard replacement will do. there are some hardcore people on this forum who are rescuing such phones, but I'm not sure if they are still operational. Search for JTAG on teh forum, or send it to the service. If it;s on guarantee, then you should be fine, as they shouldn't be able to determine what happened. Otherwise you can always zap the phone with a stunner, and presto, phone ready for guarantee.

I have long time ago also installed a CMDA-ROM accidentally. :o When the flashing procces ended I just got only the slpash screen (black without Rom Version Information).

I thought my Diamond was bricked but i could not believe it . After i had performed a hardware reset several times i used mitty and i could flash a ROM.

Now i have mostly a ROM as backup on my storage-card this in case it will go wrong during flashing procces.

can anyone tell be if better keyboard is, well, a better keyboard than the stock one, and if you still have the microphone usage for voice typing. thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hmarcus:
I bought it from the Market yesterday. I usually used HTC's keyboard with my Magic, but its way pixelated and blurry on N1. Anyway, BK is pretty sweet, it has a lot in common with HTC's stock layout. It is very responsive and absolutely NO LAG. It is the best virtual keyboard experience other than iPhone and Hero (HTC keyboard). It's a good investment of $2.99 if you ask me.

And as far as speech, it's not like on the stock 2.1 keyboard, but there is a clunky speech input in there settings. It's not the greatest, but its there.

Hope that helps,

Cheers

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] quahog_convo:
Yeah, if I used the voice input a lot more, I think I'd care more... but I seldomly use it, to be honest.

But I like better keyboard a lot. The skins are nice and I like the compact qwerty layout.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] di2356:
quick question, does the speech input function require an internet connection?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] charkosh:
Yes it requires an internet connection, current hand held devices don't have the processing horse power to do voice recognition.

btw Shapewriter = awesome for N1, (swype clone) and it's free! No microphone button however

Hi there!

Im using the stock 1.61 ROM on my HD2. Works like a charm, but since im german, i tried changing the manila language with BsB Tweaks. That also worked very well, except one little thing: the HTC Album.

Every picture is listed twice in there and the "Camera Snapshots" folder inside the album lists every single picture on my whole device, like the folder "All" does. Has anybody seen this before? I copied the german mui file in my windows folder and HTC Album is german, but still with this bug. As soon as i change the registry value

HKEY_Current_User/MUI/CurLang

from 409 (english) to 407 (german) this bug occurs, even without a restart. Any hints? Thanks!
[HD2 General] redwax:
I have the same issue
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
I also extracted the official german htcalbum.exe from the 1.48 german ROM, but the are identical. So it is either a bug or a setting somewhere in the registry...
[HD2 General] smuppy:
This happens when you change your Manila-language. Might solve it by setting an album as favourite album (use the menu in HTC album, set as favourite or something). that did the trick for me. On the other hand, there are so many other problems that appear after a while so I switched back to the default language...
[HD2 General] -Vulture-:
Well then, ill have to keep it english, otherwise i cant really use HTC album.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Godson1227:
I bought a MT3G maybe two months ago I had a case on it but I would remove the case from time to time to clean off the phone and I would see the paint peeling for no apparent reason :confused: So I think I read somewhere that there's a difference between a MT3G case and a Magic case so I ditch the case never dropped or scrapped the phone against anything then more paint chips of in a different spot....Has this happenend to anyone else ???
