[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
I had my Nexus since the day it was launched, and dont have any 3G issues. I have great 3G/HSPA connectivity here in Las Vegas.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bishaarcc@gmail.com:
I had my N1 about couple months and so far it seems that it's the only choice!, didn't get any major problems, amazing speed I always get daily updates!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevinwallace:
Wow on Tmobile I only get edge, and I'm in Oklahoma City,OK. Doesnt make any sense.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHale:
same here basically. I'm 1 mile from an HSDPA enabled tower and can't get anything faster than EDGE on a consistent basis. Dropped and garbled calls galore.

:(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Las Vegas is one of T-mobile's best connected cities... so no surprise there. But even in Toledo, OH, I get 3G outdoors without issue and switch between 3G and Edge only indoors, where I have wifi anyway.

Maybe you guys that are having problems might call HTC for swaps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jartrip:
All of this worries me. I don't want to shell out $530 for a phone that could have issues with keeping a 3G connection. Even on cyanogens wiki he sates "Is the 3G issue fixed? No. While Google did issue an Over-The-Air update On 2010-Feb-02, it doesn't fully fix the switch from 3G to EDGE, which might be a mix of a hardware problem and a software one." I am hoping the desire comes out soon to see if that has the same problems. It is almost the same hardware so I would think it would be the same but we will see.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NPS_CA:
If anything it's the baseband programming from Qualcomm... I'm NOT seeing as bad as an issue as before. I do on occasion see it go to EDGE; I've just not got in the habit of leaving my phone on 3G only now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtrplr71:
no trouble in austin tx 3g and H all the time:D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospeed.racer:
Called HTC and they had no other solution but for me to loose $45 (because it was etched) plus shipping to get me another phone that would likely do the same thing. So, I rooted and crossed my fingers that having a choice in radios would help. Nope. Oh well, it looks cool. I use it to show off, and make calls with my G1 :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wind0zer:
It's always good to try another SIM card(S) from a different carrier before coming to conclusions.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHale:
That's really not possible in the US. We have 2 GSM provides and both use different frequencies. You're definitely not going to get 3G with the other provider's SIM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackElvis79:
Its true I get good 3g when I go to vegas, but the weird thing is,i get absolutely zero gps functionality there. Any app that requires gps like sherpa or maps is useless. Go figure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McHale:
that's simple. They don't want you to leave!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j0nkatz:
Ughhh, I'm line of sight to a tower and get -70 to -75dBm all the time but I swear I jump for joy if I manage to get 600kps on this N1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongalong:
I went to the outdoor mall in my neighborhood that has the T-Mobile antenna there. I was getting about -75dbm and when I covered the back of the phone with my palm as demonstrated in the videos showcasing the 3g problem my reception would drop to about -105dbm... is it me or is that excessive considering how close I was?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
GPS (Google Maps) works fine on my many routes thru out the Vegas area ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackElvis79:
Strange, but I like...

On the 23rd, I did speed tests on my Nexus, and the results were quite low, but when I went to Speedtest(dot)net and pulled up my test results I got this.

I kinda explains what was bothering me. I get hella poor test results on the app, but my pages load instantly in browser, and dl's are fast. Could it be the app?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reddragon72:
I'me seeing issues in Houston as well. When I'm at work with a lesser signal I pull down almost 1700, but at my house with max signal and a clear view of the tower I get no greater the 600kb.... It is really ticking me off, and this is with the speedtest.net app and the mobilespeedtest.com

I have been reading all the info I can find and found a place that talks about UMTS and HSDPA. if you enter *#*#4636#*#* into your phone you can pull up the phones stats on everything, and one of the funny things is the fact that the phone is almost always on UMTS at home, but at work it is the same, ut I get higher speeds. so I am completely confused on this speed issue. I am hoping that Google and T-mobile will shed some light on this soon, cause I'm paying for 3G HSDPA 7.2 speeds and I'm in a HSDPA 7.2 area but I'm not seeing it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordofsilence:
Wowww...that is totally my experience. Are you a Tmo customer too? I called Google this morning of course they know about this issue bla,bla,bla....the customer care guy told me that this device is always searching for the strongest signal...I was okkkkkk.....So why my G1 has way better 3g and is more stable?the guy said well because the G1 is always searching for 3G instead of edge.

To me sounds like a lot of bull,it is ridiculous that after paying full price you come across this....all their engineering,design etc.

I am thinking of switching to AT&T since they are offering me a really nice family plan.

i use the pocket player and i think that the original skin is really "finger enemy". and i didn't found any nice vwga skin. so i made one. its not completed yet..

the equalizer is still copied from original skin. but it's bigger, and the buttons is better for fingers (the pictures of the buttons is still small, but the touch area is bigger). the equalizer will be changed in time..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
Is there a way to put our phones in diagnostic mode while in Android?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mssmison:
What do you mean diagnostics mode?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
In Windows mobile you were able to use phone codes like ##3424# to put the phone in diagnostic mode so you could connect to the phone's programming menu with QPST.

My GPS has been really unreliable lately. My phone sees like 12 sats, but never gets a fix. I wanted to be able to tweak some settings to see if it would make a difference. I've installed Android to nand, and I don't want to have to re-install a WinMo ROM just to do that.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] meknb:
Does rtask c via mtty put your phone into diagnostic mode? I think you will need hard spl mfg for rtask commands.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
you ever figure this out? don't ever want to use WinMo again
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
nope... never did figure it out.

I was hoping to get more of response here because I don't want to have to go back to WinMo either.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
You are in luck because the other day I started to write an app for service programming. It doesn't do a lot but one of the things it does do is let you change all the same gps settings that qpst does.

Install the attached app and run it, it puts your phone in airplane mode and then uses diag commands to let you read and write the nv settings. Under gps settings you should see the raw numbers. It's not as easy as qpst (which you can still use by running rtask c) but it should do the job.

Don't mess with anything else because it probably won't work. Pressing menu will let you enter your msl but you don't need it for the gps settings.

Let us know which gps settings work for you.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
Thanks. I'll try it out and let you know.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
Can you give me a quick tutorial on this? I'm guessing where you have 0's, only numerical entries can be made. I'm assuming that 1 is on and 0 is off. For GPS Preferred Transport is IP 1 or 0? Also for Mobile vs PDE, is Mobile 0 and PDE 1?

Thanks.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I think 0 is ip and 0 is mobile, but can't be sure, the services field is an 8 bit number for the tick boxes on the left of the qpst page. I think the lockout field should be 1. I'd be interested to know what values you have.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] daganb:
A tad off topic but semi relevant.

I am eye'ing a new HTC Incredible when it is released in a few weeks on verizon, however I will not be using verizon's service. I need to know how I can update my PRL manually from android (verizon sets the SPL code to 000000 so it is technically "unlocked").
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
The incredible is nice. I've been waiting to see verizon's nexus colors. I'm not too wild about the solid red backing on the incredible tho.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
Probably best to do it from qpst, use mtty (or HTCFlasher) to put the spl into calibration mode with rtask c and then connect it to a windows box running qpst. In theory it's possible to update from within android but somebody would have to write the code.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
My settings before I changed anything were as follows:

AGPS Capabilities: 1

AGPS Port: 8888

AGPS IP Address: 42AE5F84 (I did try changing this to 66.174.95.132, but it reverted back to 42AE5F84)

PDE Services Lockout: 0

GPS Preferred Transport: 0

Mobile vs PDE Based Position 0

I changed to the following:

AGPS Capabilities: 1

AGPS Port: 8888

PDE Services Lockout: 1

GPS Preferred Transport: 0

Mobile vs PDE Based Position 1

At these settings, my phone could see a few satellites, but never got a fix.

I changed to these settings:

AGPS Capabilities: 1

AGPS Port: 8888

PDE Services Lockout: 1

GPS Preferred Transport: 0

Mobile vs PDE Based Position 0

.. I had basically the same results. Saw a few satellites, but no fix.

I'll keep playing with different combinations to see if I get lucky.

Thanks again.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
42AE5F84 is 66.174.95.132 in hex so that should be OK.

AGPS Capabilities should be 255 to enable all the options i think. Without agps you may need to wait outside for about 10 mins to get the first fix. After this it should be faster.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] br125:
shiznit try these settings;

agps capabilities: 1 (edit: if dzo says 255 will enable all the options try that as well if 1 doesn't work)

agps port: 8889

agps ip address: 216.198.139.92

pde services lockout: ? (not sure what that is)

gps preferred transport: 0 (IP)

mobile vs pde based position: 0 (I've heard that both work, I use mobile)

I'm also on vzw and these are the telus settings that I've been using for a long time now since when I did the vzw agps fix using qpst...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
I tried 255, wasn't able to get a lock

I went back to:

AGPS Capabilities: 1

AGPS Port: 8888

AGPS IP Address: 42AE5F84

PDE Services Lockout: 0

GPS Preferred Transport: 0

Mobile vs PDE Based Position 0

..and things started working again. Go figure.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
How quickly do you get a lock, is it using agps?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
It generally takes around 30-45 seconds. I'm guessing it is using aGPS. Is there a way to determine that?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
My first 4 settings had all 0's, the last 2 were 1's. I've never done the aGPS fix. It generally takes me up to 2 mins to get a lock, longer if I've cleared the cache, etc. I'll test some settings and reply with what I find out.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
These settings worked awesome (capabilities set at 255, pde at 1)! :D I am getting a lock on no less than 2/3 of the total sats it finds (GPSTest). If there's 5, I have 3, with 4, I have 2 or 3. I am even getting one or more from inside my house and it sometimes locks one of them. Before I was lucky to keep 1-2 locked while driving down the road.

The Accuracy it is showing, in case it's useful, is now from 3-15 feet (before it was up to 40). I will still try more settings to see what kind of results come up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
Works for me, but only locks one out of 5 sats with bad accuracy. Will say that my IP always reverts back to multiple 0's after using GPS.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] br125:
glad to hear it, I get similar results with very quick locks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Jiggity Janx:
I tried a few of these, but with Capabilities at 255 and port at 8889. I got a lock and had 1 of 5-6 in use. But, definitely the best combination for me was from br125.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
No matter what I do I can't get my GPS to work consistenly. It works once, then it stops working. When I check my settings, my IP address is all 0's again. I've pretty much given up on having GPS work consistenly :-(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
Make sure in location settings you have the "google" options un-ticked.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
So no Sharing with Google? Trying it now. Thank you:D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] hexto:
Edit: Tried it and didn't get any locks (5-7 in View) and when i went back to Service Programming my IP was all zeroes...again.

I'm just giving up on ever having GPS with Android. It worked in WinMo. Its not a big enough deal to not be happy with Android. Still kicks WinMo's @$$:D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] shiznit05:
My phone is back to not having working GPS again too. It worked for like a week, but now, I'm back to where you are. It sees several sats, but can't get a lock. I've given up on it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dzo:
I've made a new version of my Service Programming app (attached), it adds an extra gps item called "gps mode".

This has a value from 0..3 and controls what mode is used for agps.

Can you try it out and let me know what setting works for you.

About a week ago, I saw this topic on XDA, about a registry edit what should make 3G and/or GPRS speed faster...

I searched for over an hour, but I just can't find it anymore :(

If one of you guys find it, or if you are the author, I would really appreciate it if you would place the link here!

Hi all,

i hope i'm in the right section.

I'm tryng to cook my own ROM in ITA language 0410, taking for base OEM and EXT 2.10, sys 21985.

I transfer all the necessary files 0410.mui.exe from official 1.66 to my kitchen and upgraded MUI strings if necessary.

I'use manila 2012 and after days of work, now ROM it's perfect, but i've a big problem with my own video playback from Album Tab (but aslo with WMP).

I can hear voice, but i can't see any video.

I've no prolem with the photos.

Another little problem is that Album TAB don't autorotate as in official rom,

while music TAB have no proble.

Can you help me solve this problem?

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks in advance.

Little edit. i have problem also in youtube video playback.

Because I too have cooked my own ROM on my HTC Imagio & My brother's HTC Pure and have simular issues that your having with your HD2. But my issue is the sound cuts right off and video often would freeze up the my device. When playing video through Album & YouTube.

I have tried like 2 to 3 different versions of Album, Full Screen player, DShow, Media Toolkit, m Hub, etc... I tried anything that my lead to the issue. I also tried not including youtube...still nothing.

in the CodeAurora kernel/msm.git tree (sorry, can't post the direct link because the forum won't let me) aosp/android-msm-2.6.32 head appears to add RGB666 support for the OLED display, which would help the banding problem many people observe in smooth, un-dithered gradients.

https :// www codeaurora org / gitweb / quic / la / ?p=kernel/msm.git

(remove the spaces)

It mentions that it is for the newer CDMA hardware revisions, so it may be that the shipping GSM hardware doesn't have the necessary wiring in place for the extra two bits. Has anyone tried building a kernel with this patch and tried if it works on GSM Nexii?

(Interestingly, this also confirms that the display is currently used only in RGB565 mode, thus everyone shouting "it's just a software problem in Gallery and Browser" is most likely wrong.)
[Nexus One Android Development] FettsVett:
Please tell me it's not a hardware limitation!

I can't test this as I'm currently at work, have you built a kernel with the patch?
[Nexus One Android Development] xManMythLegend:
Those who shouted software did so becuase the banding only occured in those 2 parts of the n1. 3rd party browser/gallery didnt not show the problem.
[Nexus One Android Development] britoso:
Heres that link so nobody else has to fix it themselves..

https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/quic/la/?p=kernel/msm.git

Yeah the banding was not due to hardware because it didn't show up in some third party apps.
[Nexus One Android Development] hugonz:
Well, having dug further into the kernel source (specifically, drivers/video/msm/mdp_lcdc.c and arch/arm/mach-msm/board-mahimahi-panel.c) I can confirm that on the UTMS/GSM revisions, the hardware interface to the OLED panel is definitely RGB565 (and on the upcoming CDMA/Verizon version it appears to be RGB666). What isn't clear to me is if and how dithering works in the qsd8k lcdc. Dithering in principle should work really well with OLED panels due to the fast update rate (assuming the lcdc->panel bandwidth is high enough). Edit: dithering (both temporal (i.e. driver level) and spatial (i.e. software level)) probably are why different application software shows different apparent color depth/banding.

Summary: current Nexii are definitely running in RGB565 (16-bit) color mode.

I haven't yet rooted my phone so I can't try a patched kernel, but given the run-time checks for the hardware revision before activating 18-bit (RGB666) mode in the new code, I would guess that current hardware doesn't physically wire those extra two lines (i.e. the sixth bit for red and blue). Still, it'd be cool if someone could try?

Whenever I make a wallpaper with gradiant I see very bad banding. Drives me nuts when I look at it.
[Nexus One Android Development] coolbho3000:
Says "post-EVT1 CDMA revs" will have RGB666 support. EVT1 is a board rev, probably similar to PVT, DVT.

Also, system rev value has to be greater than 0xC0 to support RGB666. My new ATT N1 seems to be 0x81 (via dmesg).
[Nexus One Android Development] satadru:
See http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2010/03/secrets-of-the-nexus-ones-screen-science-color-and-hacks.ars for more info on this.

Anybody want to hardcode the rgb666 support into a kernel to see if it works on the older N1s? I'd be willing to test a boot image... worst case it just doesn't show anything and you can reboot it right?
[Nexus One Android Development] AndyBurns:
Worstcase your N1 is frazzled and burns your house down :p
[Nexus One Android Development] Bumble-Bee:
Flashing a boot image with RGB666 support will do nothing to the N1 lol it will not boot so you re flash the one from the .zip (CM or whatever) and it will be back to normal :-D

Ill test if anyone wants, just build me the kernel :-D
[Nexus One Android Development] satadru:
Yeah you can always just use fastboot to boot a new kernel to test without actually writing the kernel to the flash on the device.
[Nexus One Android Development] Zenoran:
I haven't seen any of this banding you guys speak of but the one thing I did truly notice when comparing my nexus to my friend's droid side by side is WHITE. White has a blueish tint to it... Blacks obviously look awesome but there is something whacked with the white.... you can really see it reading a webpage with black txt and white background thats what we were comparing....

I really doubt this is a hardware failure on the screen part... color dept and tuning is usually a driver thing... I'm sure someone will figure out how to tweak the color stuff eventually.

I just built a kernel that forces RGB666 to run on older hardware revisions. I'm flashing it but I don't expect it to boot, or if it does, work.

[Nexus One Android Development] MarcusMaximus04@gmail.com:
Huh... well you could try the pictures from the arstechnica link above. Only trouble is they don't show banding in the actual browser, only in the gallery. So you'll have to save them. This is likely going to be a very difficult thing to test since the banding issues are so sporatic(likely because different apps do things differently throughout the phone)
