Lol, that is fortunate. I'm sure you'll appreciate the mess someone less experienced could get into.

Thanks for the detailed reply. It's always interesting to read of others' experience & involvement in development. Alas I'm not an experienced Android dev myself, though I do have a background in programming (mostly C, going back a couple of decades, but nothing recent).

I've only started to get interested in Android since buying an HTC Hero about a month ago. It is an appealing platform though; I plan on brushing up my somewhat lacking Java skills & dabbling a little but it will be a good while before I'm up to speed.

I hope you find someone who can take your ideas further forward & that if you do, you'll let us know how it goes. Feel free to PM me if you still feel my feedback might be of use to you. Either way, best of luck :)
[Android Software Development] androidlurker:
Someone has offered to take on the project. I will update with development progress and information as I get it.

Thanks for the interest folks!

Transparent Calendar Widget.

Replaces two files in CalendarProvider.apk.

Needs Root.

Apply with MetaMorph, place the zip in <sd>\AndroidThemes

Should work with any high density android. Tested on a NexusOne.

[Click Android Development] thacen:
Some tattoo have baseband version 13.29.55.13G_3.35.07.20 and it doesn't support 3G, whereas tattoos with baseband version 13.29.55.13H_3.35.07.20 does.

Is there any option to flash this baseband of 3G to non-3G tattoos??

Thanks
[Click Android Development] paulobrien:
Yes, use an update.zip. I'll add it as an option in my MCR kitchen.

P
[Click Android Development] shyamk:
So will you bring out a rom with the ability to change the baseband version ?

Shyam
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
yes he said no... patience shyam.... hope for the earliest release of this new ROM with this option....

keep it up paul...
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
@ shyam, did you find out anything more positive towards changing the baseband firmware of tattoo ??? even i am as curious a s u r.... please dont mistake me for those words which i said to u to calm down.... ok ???

i hope many european tattoo owners who have a baseband version of 3G could help us right ??? i dont know how to ask them to extract baseband firmware & upload it here.... do u have any idea about that ???
[Click Android Development] thacen:
I hope there is some progress............
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
here u go thacen.... rename it as update.zip & reboot into recovery mode, then apply update.zip from sdcard.... simple.

here is the link posted by paul... the hard working guy. credit should go to him

i am just posting the download link.... for ur convenience.....:cool:

[Click Android Development] harry7:
So can someone confirm that with the paulobrien's update, could you get the 3g support working?

Update very much appreciated.
[Click Android Development] manuvaidya:
no its not possible... somehow that baseband has got nothing to do with the 3G hardware... only if u change the spl, then i think we stand a very good chance of getting 3G functionality in tattoo....

noone cared to post us the spl which could give us the 3G functionality.... waiting for someone who can do it.... baseband has got nothing to do with 3G. SPL is must for 3G function....
[Click Android Development] 3DPRO:
My advice is don't flash it on non-3G Tattoo. because I've had flashed on mine and it's bricked after that. :( my phone is now at HTC Care and hopefully they'll repair it.
[Click Android Development] thacen:
It is no problem to try..many had tried.. i also tried without bricking, only thing is this could not success changing the base-band version at this time.

I think... in your case, you had removed the battery in the middle of flashing.. that is the problem. This base-band flashing actually require rebooting to continue flashing but you had removed the battery instead... plz be careful next time...plz read all the instructions properly and whole thread before actually jump into...

anyway till now this one is not working... so we need to wait for a working version.
[Click Android Development] 3DPRO:
the flashing was successfully until i restart the phone though. I wasn't pull out the battery between the flashing.

Win 93 and 95 had a cute little puppy that would remain on the screen .... digging and doing stuff. Any chance of such an app for hd2.

[HD2 General] nieves53:
is just me or anyone having 3g problems. my 3g icon changes to edge then 3g very often sometimes withing feets of distance. very annoying, cuz my speed goes up n down. san jose area
[HD2 General] j23a45m:
Im in Pa and Ny and i dont get this issue
[HD2 General] starstreak:
Hawaii. Yup. for no reason it'll cut and go from 3G to Edge
[HD2 General] nieves53:
hope we dont get the same bug the nexus had or has not sure if they fix it...i guess we need to wait n see.
[HD2 General] j23a45m:
Nexus still has this issue I gave my wife my nexus and got the Hd2 for this reason
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
I'm in the San Jose Area and I don't have that problem.

same problem here in Olympia. went to the store to see what was up and the awesome clerks were more confused then i was
[HD2 General] XerBom:
I'm not experiencing any issues like that here in Virginia Beach, VA. Sorry to hear about that, I know it would frustrate me!
[HD2 General] kable:
Same city, Constant 3G at home but there are some areas of San Jose that I notice no signal or very weak signal. T-Mobile Store on Curtner for example.
[HD2 General] ncohafmuta:
same problems in Denver.

lost my tethering connection a few times due to this. I forced it to just the GSM/EDGE band, it's more reliable, but is SLOOOW.

nope. and no word as to if the 2.09.51.03 radio works on the stock rom.

[HD2 General] nieves53:
I'm wandering if the other 3g mobile devices of tmobile have this..
[HD2 General] alexsql:
Seems like Nexus One issue

I have the same issue, fluctuating from 3 bar 3G to 3-4 bar edge.

From what I read on other forums Nexus one seems to have had the same issue on TMo network. I am not sure if it is resolved yet.
[HD2 General] RKnight1983:
I am kinda having the problem but I was told because they are about to launch HSDPA in my area so they have been turning it on and off alto so its messing with my reception and going from E to 3G to H and back and forth
[HD2 General] vikramdhani:
finally you got the phone as well :) i got myself one as well
[HD2 General] alexsql:
H

I have yet to see H on my phone. It is mostly 3G, than E, and once it was only G
[HD2 General] nieves53:
i get H but i think it is cuz i change the task bar
[HD2 General] nieves53:
i just change my APN to "wap.voicestream.com" seems to be faster n better 3g
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
How did you get to those settings? I would like to try that as well.
[HD2 General] skylinepigeon:
couldn't it be switching from 3g to edge because there just isn't a 3g signal? i know that here in pittsburgh, we just got switched over to 3g a couple of months ago, and much of the city still doesn't have 3g coverage...
[HD2 General] nieves53:
do this "Settings > Wireless Controls (bottom right hand menu ) connection > Manage Existing Connections

> Edit "T-Mobile Data" > Next > Enter

"wap.voicestream.com" under "Access point

name" > Next > finish
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
Great Thanks!
[HD2 General] nieves53:
no problem..have u guys seen this...xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5995464#post5995464
[HD2 General] alexsql:
No

It cannot be "no 3G signal". My phone switches from 3, sometimes even 4 bar 3G to 3 or 4 bar Edge, and back within 10 seconds, just by sitting on the desk.
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
any one have any luck, I tried switching the connection to the wap.voicestream.com and it seemed to be the same.:(

I'm hoping a different radio rom will fix it. I've had similar issues with my TouchPro with different radio roms. I'm on the hunt for the fix and will probably try some radio's out soon....
[HD2 General] Babyexp:
My HD2 drops down to GPRS and Edge from 3G. It happens often in my 2 bedroom apartment.
[HD2 General] kevev:
I am having the same problem. Was having it with my android. Much worse and weaker signal on the HD2. I had a service ticket created with T-Mobile to send engineers out to my work and home. Hopefully they can get the tower aiming better. You may need to place a call too.
[HD2 General] ihearttreo:
I'm in the bayarea aswell and my connection has been fluttering too. hope they put a update out to fix it. I had a mytouch and it was a more of a solid connection.
[HD2 General] laphoneuser:
Having the same problems here in Los Angeles.

Had no issues with my Tmobile G1, and now the HD2's reception is all over the place.

As a result, I'm seriously considering returning the phone, but am hopeful for a quick fix.
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
I'd figure that since other devices on TMOUS works fine, it's not the towers etc. And since the HD2's using the same freq's in the rest of the world seem to be fine, HTC's hardware must be fine.

So it has to be the Radio Rom. We have to wait for the next radio rom to be released for TMOUS. I think I read that some one tried a newer one 2.09 and he bricked his phone, so don't run off and start flashing yet.

I'd suggest notifying TMobile, and posting on HTC's website forums about our connection issue. This way HTC will know there is an issue and change some settings in the radio rom and send us an update.
[HD2 General] nieves53:
i agree a ROM radio should do the trick..people please keep calling customer care to let them know the problem n we may have a faster fix
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
Im new to the HD2 forum im having the damn same problem. i dont think they can replace the device since their sold out so what now....(update i just called t-mobile they just told me the signal antenna excuse again I don't know why do they think ima fall for that when i travel all over l.a and i get the same issue unless the damn mess up antenna tower its stalking me everywhere)
[HD2 General] wetfart:
same problem in minneapolis,minnesota!
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
Maybe we should arrange a time where we can all call t-mobile at the same time maybe t-mobile will finally say its a damn bug on the device
[HD2 General] methodz:
i am getting the same thing on mine. LA, CA

i really don't want to have to return my hd2 because i am just starting to like it and even more so with the wp7 developments but if they don't fix this issue then i might exchange it for a new one even though there is nothing wrong with mine other than that issue. maybe if i return it enough times they will get the picture.
[HD2 General] Babyexp:
I checked my map at http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx

Coverage drops in a 1/2 mile radius around where I live. I will monitor the signal away from home. Check your map. This information probably changes often and it may not always be for the better.
[HD2 General] Agoattamer:
Not sure if the T-mo USA has this option. Go settings/wireless controls/phone/band and for network type switch from Auto to WCDMA. Now your phone will only connect on 3G or H if T-mobile has it in your area. But realize you must be in 3G area for this to work. If you go to edge only area you may not get a data signal. This could be a problem with T-mobile with the ify coverage. But for those in good areas this will stop the switching.
[HD2 General] nieves53:
nice...seems to be ok no more switching..but correct me if i am wrong doing this means that is there is no 3g present i will NOT have service at all, right
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
ill give it a shot i know when i went on edge reception would still drop to full bar to one bar on and off for no reason just sitting on my desk
[HD2 General] shiltz:
Yup, having that problem too, will go from 4- bars 3G to edge, G, no signal and back to 3G without the phone moving an inch, and regardless of connection internet seems horrible, I can have max edge and it takes 2-3 mins to load google.com, or sometimes it just doesn't load.
[HD2 General] flexte:
3g is bad in medford for sure and since your close probably the same issue. im in lawnside in my house its edge but outside i get 3g. its very slow in many SJ ares even when it says 3g
[HD2 General] sstrunks84:
it's definitely a radio rom problem or a hardware issue. im in midtown manhattan and my connection is constantly switching from 3g to edge without moving my phone at all. the signal is at full strength too.

i have a T-Mobile G1 and a Nokia N900. they always keep a steady 3g connection and never drops to edge when in the same location.
[HD2 General] laphoneuser:
I called TMO and spoke with technical support. Nice guy, but he couldn't find anything unusual, except that my phone was technically "roaming" on other company's towers from where I was calling (my house). This did make sense, because TMO reception is pretty weak where I live. That doesn't explain why my G1 held on to a nice 3G signal in the same location, while my HD2 doesn't.

That being said, my HD2 is NOT having a problem hanging on to a strong 3G signal at work (North Hollywood, CA). No wavering whatsoever, whether it's on my desk, or in my hand (not the case at home), so that's very good news for me.
[HD2 General] dkb218:
Same problem here and yes it is the radio rom.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
maybe we should start thinking of a solution cause i feel calling t-mobile its useless for the simple reason they wont replace them since they are sold out :(
[HD2 General] solarleox:
Downtown Miami, FL

I have a Rhodium (TouchPro2) and the Leo (HD2), the Rhodium under the stock ROM use to show an HSDPA connection [H] symbol, however my Leo has never gone beyond the 3G - just this past Saturday I couldn't even connect online (At the Ultra Music Festival) for over 6 hours....not sure whats going.

Now I only get EDGE and 3G intermittently on the Leo, and the phone is just sitting on my desk with the bars are constantly moving....

My question is, has anyone using the stock TMOUS ROM seen the H for an HSDPA connection since its release?

The manual shows the H, and the registry shows the HSDPA string as enabled so it should be showing the H, no??:confused:

I should note that the Rhodium also only shows 3G now....
[HD2 General] Babyexp:
Back on the bandwagon

After monitoring my phone more closely yesterday the reception is wavy. It is not only at home but at the mall where I bought the phone and at college. I even replaced the sim, which is an idea that may work for others. Good grief, and good luck.
[HD2 General] maximr:
I am in Seattle. With the original T-Mobile ROM I would get speeds of around 1.1 Mbps, and after flashing Dutty's latest ROM, I have noticed that the speed would top out around 600 kbps. With the original ROM I've never seen the H icon, only 3G; with Dutty's it jumps from one to another quite frequently.

Not sure what the access point was in the original ROM, but Dutty's got configured by the HTC connection set up to epc.tmobile.com. After changing that to wap.voicestream.com, I am getting the same speeds as before - 1.1 Mbps today.

This is fairly slow still - I just moved from London, where T-Mobile HSPA gets realistically above 6 Mbps. I wonder why that is?
[HD2 General] AssassinsLament:
I'm in Saint Paul, MN. And I had this same issue. I was warned about spotty 3G coverage in the Twin Cities, but of course I didn't heed the warning hoping the HD2 could magically change the T-Mobile Coverage. Got the phone, tested it for several hours. Peaked at 87k speeds on edge. Called T-Mobile, nothing was wrong network wise. Gave them the shipping return tracking number, packaged it up, sent it back. No more T-Mobile for me!
[HD2 General] dglambert:
Tracking my connection problems

FYI, I'm seeing the same sort of problems. I'm tracking the up / down / edge / 3g / etc - cycle I'm seeing on my blog. Sorry - the forum won't let me create an actual link there.

blog.componentoriented.com/2010/03/meet-the-new-phone-same-as-the-old-phone/

I'm going to pay the folks at the T-Mobile store a visit tonight and see if I get any joy.
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
I think you see H if you install one of the taskbars downloaded from here. It's probably foreign programming designed to show H specific for that country. Uninstall it and you get G again.
[HD2 General] clubtech:
It's just T-Mobile coverage is very poor. Had the nexus on T-Mobile and have the hd2. Both have crappy 3g coverage in San Jose.
[HD2 General] nieves53:
i called tmobile n said some towers are down in san jose area
[HD2 General] SecretStash:
I may give this a try as I too lose 3g when at home, even though it shows 4 bars. Also, I'm occasionaly getting a message about it 'failing to connect after dialing epc.tmoble.com'.

Update:

I've used the suggestion from above of disabling "Auto" Band acquisition and set it to strictly "WCDMA" and after a day of going to and from several locations around town (Baton Rouge, LA)and then using the phone extensively at home it seems to have solved my problems. The 3G network here is strong enough to where maintain 3-4 bars pretty much everywhere except in my own house where it drops to 1-2 (of course, right?). This has stopped the switching to and from Edge and I've yet to see the error message again. I'll update if anything changes.
[HD2 General] Nitosantos:
Fort Lauderdale, Florida has the same issues. two bars of 3g to edge and then to zero.:(:(:(
[HD2 General] erick10:
Same Problems in San Fernando Valley, Ca. Tmobile has great 3g here.

Never Seen 3G Since Unlocking Phone

It has been 3 days since unlocking my phone and I have not seen 3G since then. With the same sim card, I get 3G with my htc Blueangel. I'm returning the phone.

Edit: I got 3G again, but it was at a tmo store. Maybe the phone itself has poor reception.
[HD2 General] wingman1487:
Add a +1 to this

In the DFW area with the same issue, some times no service at all, somtimes H, sometimes 3g, some times E.

Wonder if they'll ever put out a new radio?
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
maybe we should email htc so they can put out a update for us because t-mobile its pretty much useless their just popping champagne bottles over the good sales of the hd2
[HD2 General] retrofred:
had that problem

i was hiving that same problem. i went down to rom version 2.10.0 from the 2.10.1 and have had that problem. it seems to always show 3g signal.
[HD2 General] kongzilla:
I live in North New Jersey and haven't had any problems, been getting HSDPA speed with a solid connection.
[HD2 General] aceo07:
There is a solid 3G when I'm outside and I get reception when all my phones. I'm in NYC.

However when I'm inside my place, which has thick walls, the HD2 phone reception jumps too much. I never get 3G in my place with my HTC Dream either, but it keeps a steady weak reception. HTC Dream flutucates between 1-3 bars near window, but it would never really drops the signal completely for a few seconds as the HTC HD2 does.

The HD2 does not seem to catch and maintain the signal as well (in my place). I hope there is a new radio update that fixes it. The HTC Dream got an upgrade a month or 2 ago that seems to help a little.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
for the guys not having 3g issues did you guys get the hd2 the first day of release?
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Yes .
[HD2 General] wingman1487:
Talked to TMo

I just talked to a T-Mobile guy in the store and made a complaint about the signal jumping. He said that he had talked to their HTC Rep about it before and was informed they were working on a fix, however he also told me that since the phone is so new it could be a month or two before anything may be released. I told him to just put in another complaint to see if we could get things moving a little bit faster.
[HD2 General] kenroy112:
I have this same problem too with my Nokia N900 and HD2 on my N900 however I have the option to put the phone in 3g mode only and that always solve my problem. So I guess if someone could write an app to force the phone into 3g mode only that would help.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
so your nokia is acting up like this too
[HD2 General] tmonz:
I'm in Houston and I had the same issue, I couldn't hold 3G for more then a few seconds but once I called tmobile and they submitted a ticket for my issue I had 3G about 2 hours later. Rep said something about taking me off the tower and putting me back on it, but not really sure if thats that did the trick.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
thats not what did it hd2 has an issues where it connects to the net other it doesn't it even if you have a full 3g bar
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I just switched to tmobile from at&t so I could get an hd2. Outside I get the full bars 3g, but inside my house, I can't get any 3g coverage. Occasionally I might get a bar of 3g for less than a minute, but always quickly changes to full bars of edge. I never had a problem with at&ts 3g inside my house. I think maybe it has to do with the 1700/2100 frequency they use for 3g... it doesn't push as far as lower frequencies do, like at&ts 850 frequency. Does anyone know of any way to boost the signal inside my house? I know some carriers had devices you could plug inside your house to do this... anyone know if t-mobile has anything like this? I'm starting to wish I had spent the money for an australian hd2 and stayed on at&t.
