will be getting this thanks for the heads up always used body glove when i had my berries.\

lol yeah and i got the tough case too lol im mad but oh well that will be my back up.
[Nexus One Accessories] glitzbd:
Yeah I can't stand shoving my phone in my pocket haha, I always have had Body Glove, and just love belt clips! Yeah I will probably alternate between the two now, and I am thinking about getting a bestskinsever for it, because my Case-Mate screen protector is getting rough to the touch!

But post your opinions on it please, and I intend to once I get mine!
[Nexus One Accessories] manfly9884:
Just ordered this case through Amazon, will get it within 2 days.

Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus One Accessories] mykenyc:
lol great minds think a lot i swear i just ordered BSE after i ordered body glove lmfaoooo.:D
[Nexus One Accessories] glitzbd:
HAHA Yes they do don't they! That is quite funny, yeah I have always used GadgetShieldz and they have been awesome, but they don't have one for the Nexus so I'm gonna give BSE a run!
[Nexus One Accessories] Namuna:
Already have a flip-down leather case for my N1, the extra length and width are extremely slight...But it more than TRIPLES the thickness. Really do love the case, but it just kills the sleekness.

Ordered up the same DayDeal for 15.90, I like the idea of the hard-case wrapped in grippy silicon. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus One Accessories] glitzbd:
New Video from DayDeal

I found a YouTube video from DayDeal giving an overview of the case, and it seems it does come up on the trackball, that or BodyGlove has two versions floating around! You get to see the case installed on a demo phone, and it appears to be quite thin!

Edit: Link is in the 1st Post!
[Nexus One Accessories] glitzbd:
6 Days

Well I got my phone case... took about 6 days including the weekend! I have attached photos to the first post!
[Nexus One Accessories] Namuna:
Yup, got mine today and I like it. I wish the kickstand were a bit more integrated and flush like Backflip's kickstand for the iPhone:

But my primary reason for the case was protection and grip and this case does a great job on both.
[P3600 General] Chaos Water2:
I recently unlocked my phone with Pof's CID/SIM Unlocker and after inputting the code "00000000" into the Unlocker it successfully unlocked the phone and allowed any ROM to be booted onto the phone. My trouble is I've just put a 3 SIM card into my SPV M700 and it indicates no signal with a exclamation mark next to the signal bar. I have tried it outside but no luck and I know it's not the signal coverage as I also have a Nokia E73 which had 3 bars of signal on the network 3, does anyone know a solution behind it?
[HD2 General] jonyid:
hi there, i have a picture of my missus that i want to put as the lock screen wallpaper however it tiles the same picture as it is smaller than the screen (480x800). i was wondreing if there was a way of getting the picture to be centred in the screen, with a blank background, similar to the XP setting.

i have tried enlarging the photo to 480 x 800 but it doesnt look right
[HD2 General] Archer:
You need something that will resize it and keep the aspect ratio, and then resize it to either 480x... or ...x800, then add a black background to fill the gaps at the top & bottom or sides.

I'll do it for you if you like - just send me a link to the pic.
[HD2 General] jonyid:
ah okayyy i think i could work that, i;ll give it a go and if i fail then i will send you a link...cheers
[HD2 General] jonyid:
you're a diamond mate, worked a treat just gotta make the top and bottom bar transparent then its looking mint!

[P3600 General] Chaos Water2:
I just want to know the difference between a ROM and Kitchen, I know what a ROM is where you use the Update Utility to ROM your Pocket PC to a specific version of Windows Mobile, but what is a Kitchen and is it harder than installing a ROM and also does it take more time?:confused::confused:
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Does anyone here have an HD2 with stock TMO USA ROM in one of TMO's HSPA+ coverage areas? Does the signal indicator remain 3G, or does it switch to the H icon?

I'm not asking for users of cooked ROMs, since we all know the icons can differ depending on what the chef choose to use on their ROM.
[HD2 General] Dr.8820:
i'm in the 904, and mine switches between 3g and h. if i'm in the living room, it stays on h, in the bedroom 3g.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
My connection icon goes back and forth between 3G and H a lot, usually flipping to H whenever I connect and am actively passing data, then back to 3G when the connection is on but idle.

I am using a stock ROM, but...I'm using aftermarket taskbar icons for notifications like that. I understand that the stock notification icons don't ever seem to switch to H, only once you have some non-stock icons there does that happen. I don't remeber mine ever switching before I added the new icons.

Honestly though I don't think it does much more right now than let you know you've got a HSPA+ capable link between you and the tower...but from what I've read T-mobile still hasn't yet flipped the switch on the backhaul elements (from the tower to the network) on most of the towers that are ready for it.

EDIT: Also, have you made sure that you have HSDPA enabled in your phone settings?
[HD2 General] Jamison904:
I am also in Jacksonville Florida (904) I have a cooked ROM, there is a huge difference between the two. So trust me when I say the towers around here are very much active.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Ok awesome then. I'd heard they were still dragging their feet on it, but a small number of places were already feeling the joy ;)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I just ran across this article, which describes a recent release from Tmo listing the markets that already have HSPA+ turned on, and those that are coming next:

http://www.tmonews.com/2010/05/hspa-update/
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Actually I was digging on this a little more, and saw a thread on ppcgeeks about it that you had posted in lol.

Reading that and some others, it seems that there's a bit of confusion (I was too)...what Tmo has already enabled on the network now is HSPA 7.2, which is not exactly the same thing as the HSPA+ (theoretical limits over 54Mbps). HSPA+ is what's being tested and exists in a few cities now, more coming 2nd half of this year.

I've read confirmation that the HD2 is HSPA 7.2-capable, but I've found nowhere that says for sure that it's able to use HSPA+...lot's of speculation, no hard confirmation. I have however seen several indications that no phones in Tmo's current lineup have the HSPA+ secret sauce :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Yeah ive also read that the radio in the HD2 is only HSPA 7.2, here's hoping that at least the the HSPA+ roll out will allow us to make full use of the 7.2 megabits it can pull down.

Question though, if TMO's tower radios are software updatable to HSPA+ then why couldn't the HD2 or any other phone's radio be software updatable to HSPA+ as well?
[HD2 General] d0ug:
is the 560kbps in your sig what you're regularly seeing on TMO up there in Jacksonville? cause i don't have much trouble hitting a megabit per second at times here in Tampa.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
I hate living in Utah. We are always the last to get these fast speeds. :(
[HD2 General] ryan562:
i live in long beach, ca. and work at the port of los angeles. in these areas, i get a mixture of edge, 3g, and HSPA.

Specifically, I get a mixture of Edge and HSPA here at home. I get mostly HSPA when I'm driving outside the house locally.

I get mostly HSPA and a little 3g mixture at work.
[HD2 General] asidrave:
I get a good mix of H, 3G and E in my area....im in Jersey..less than 10 minutes from NYC
[HD2 General] chvvkumar:
Weird thing is i was getting HSPA (The H symbol on the signal strength thingy) since a month back. I am in the 818 area (Los Angeles - The valley)
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
im in the philadelphia market area where it started and with the shipped rom my device was in 3g mode all the time didnt notice that it was on h mode till i put on a cooked rom now i never see the 3g icon its always in h but the 3g will come and go to h as it pleases depending on location and if the hspa covers that area
[HD2 General] inf3rno1:
Guys there is a difference between HSPA+ and HSDPA/HSUPA..

HSDPA/HSUPA is capable of maximum speeds of 7.2 mbps, but HSPA+ is theoretically capable of maximum speeds of 56 mbps, ofcourse us end users never see anything near the maximum. Optimistically it should increase the AVERAGE throughput or download speed for us on HSDPA as the backend at the cell towers will have much more capabilities. :)
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Very true, and commonly confused by many.

Although HSPA7.2 is technically already available in all of T-Mobile's existing 3G markets, like inf3rno said those with compatible handsets (HD2, etc) probably won't see everything it can deliver until the HSPA+ capable backend is turned up on your local towers.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
I keep getting conflicting answers. Is the t-mobile HD2 HSPA+ capable? Either now or with future rom updates? I am very curious.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I too am keeping my eyes open for a more solid answer to that question. The most believeable-sounding one I've seen so far indicates that NO current hardware is HSPA+ capable (including the HD2), not until certain new models are released later this year (and no, I didn't see any sign of which exact ones will have that).

So, I'm expecting to not fully benefit from HSPA+ (as opposed to HSPA7.2)....but I could certainly be wrong, and would love it if I were!
[HD2 General] djdanska:
7.2 is fine with me. 21 or less would be great, but can't get everything. Besides, i would not expect to reach anywhere near 21 megs down. Or i won't believe it until i see proof or see it in person. lol.
[HD2 General] criticalchild:
I'm in NYC, have HD2 stock rom pluse cookies home tab.

i did mobile speed test, and speedtest . i get 1847kbps down and 650kbps up. ive never seen a H on my handset but i get faster then hspda speeds. the other night i got 9 mbps down and 4mbps up.
[HD2 General] Mase_Mase:
On my stock US T-Mo ROM, I've never switched to H, only 3G and E here in Orange county (Irvine and Mission Viejo). I can get up to 3.5Mbps when conducting speed tests while tethered to my laptop on the Firefox browser.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It seems that when you're using the stock notification icons on the taskbar at top, you'll never see the H icon even if you "should"...it doesn't appear until you apply a custom rom or even just custom taskbar icons.
[HD2 General] Mase_Mase:
Good to know that bit of information. I've been pretty happy with my 3G (or greater) coverage with T-Mo so far. I hope I haven't jinxed it by saying that.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
shhhhhhh ;)

nyc. lower east side. stock hd2 rinning the 2.13 update
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
It looks like you got some of God's love in your connection there actually. 8+ Mbps is above the limit of what HSPA 7.2 is capable of.

What browser did you use?
[HD2 General] joefosho315:
I'm in downtown philly which supposedly was the first city to get HSPA+, yet, my mobile speed tests rarely yield download speeds greater than 500kbps. My notification bar is always on "H." I have used a few cooked roms, and am now using the stock 2.13 ROM with the same results. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] txlatino1983:
Im in Austin, TX.. I have stock rom 2.13 but with custom taskbar.. My 3G symbol switches to H everytime I get on the web.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Yup, same here exactly. A few spots in town it stays on the H, but most of the time I only see it when the 3G connection is actually passing data. I suspect that may be an intentional power-saving measure but I don't know for sure.

But, even when I see the H during data transfer, my top speeds are always still sub-1Mb on average. I'm really anxious to see if we actually experience improvement in speeds when they finally turn up HSPA+ here.

TMobie US - Charlotte hspa 7.2 live

just started getting 2 to 4 mb down and 800-1.2mb up the icon stays on 3g
[HD2 General] criticalchild:
i was using internet explorer when i yeilded the results i pasted. i have gotten as much as 18mbps using skyfire and uzard. please note also that daytime i get about 4-6 mbps so it varies. not sure but could it be this way if i had a tower very near to me?

can anyone else in nyc confirm these speeds on there device?
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
critical child, try running the test using www.dslreports.com/mspeed instead. Or, teather your phone to your PC via USB to share the internet connection, and test it that way using a regular speed test on your PC (over the phone's data connection). See what your results are then.
[HD2 General] criticalchild:
..

so here is my result for dslreport. " Mobile speed test

unstable/too fast a result (0.483s) please choose a larger file

..i chose largest file available. i will try tethering in a bit. . are there any other legit bandwidth test sites?

thnx,

criticalchild
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
yes, that speedtest will give you that result the first time you run it, just click on "choose a larger file" and it will give you the option to pick one up to 1MB.

If you're going to try tethering anyway, that'll give you the best picture of what speeds your connection is capable of.
[HD2 General] criticalchild:
just for the record on the last result i chose the largest possible size and still got that result.

i just tried tethering using wifi router and mac book pro.

i used mobilespeedtest and speedtest.net . on mobile speedtest i got 6.63mbps

and on speedtest i got 8.7mbps and on both about 2.15mbps uploud.

i noticed i still get faster speeds on just the hd2 maybe wireless tethering slows it down?

i downloaded a 300mb test file in 4min 26 seconds.. the computer tethered took 7min

ps. these speeds are blowing my home dsl which is supposed to be 6mbps out the water!
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
The wifi tethering might slow it a bit, but I honestly think the difference in your result numbers are just due to fluxuations the connection strength etc from one time to the next, cell data connections are more susceptible to variable conditions.

The numbers you're getting would indicate that you're milking just about everything you can out of a HSPA7.2 connection. I know that New York is supposed to be one of the markets that has HSPA+ already activated as well, so the reason you're seeing better speeds than other users in markets that have HSPA7.2 but not HSPA+ yet (like here in Austin) is because the HSPA+ turnup activated backhaul capability that improved speeds across the board.

Either way, I think the speeds you're getting are awesome, and I don't think there's anything you could do at this point to improve them.
[HD2 General] roycio:
I can only :eek:
[HD2 General] criticalchild:
i must say im pretty satisfied at the least. if anyone has any apps or testing diagnostic or otherwise in the near future to test the hspa+ or otherwise, let me know im more then happy to contribute.

thnx guys
[HD2 General] kcaj32:
Yesterday I did a Wifi tether to my laptop and tried www.speedtest.net (flash app). I got 0.5 Mbps, which is what I got using Opera 9.7 and www.dslreports.com/mspeed.

You can open www.speedtest.net (flash app) in Skyfire on your phone and do the test to get accurate results.

Absolutely no love from t-mobile for raleigh

T-Mobile has no planned HSPA+ coverage for the "Triangle" in North Carolina?

WTF?

I went and checked the new HSPA+ Maps and coverage again. MAN! I live in the Capital of North Carolina (agreeable not exactly a HUGE Metropolis, LOL!) but it IS where Research Triangle Park is, Home to a fair amount of the East Coasts Tech Companies (IBM where I work has 12,000 ppl here)

If Sprint can put their 4G Wimax here in Raleigh, why are we not even on the "coming soon" maps for TMOUS? I mean, they don;t even have PLANS to implement here? Meanwhile, the HAVE coverage in other places in the state, such as:

Charlotte?

Winston-Salem?

Fayetteville ??

Greensboro????

[HD2 General] d0ug:
How long ago did you live in Tampa? I wouldn't exactly call the entire bay area a small market, and i believe that is what they have turned on, not just the Tampa city proper. According to wikipedia the Tampa and Boston metro areas have almost the same population, and that's likely not even counting the rest of the bay area, aka st pete, clearwater and all the smaller surrounding communities.

I believe the only advertised HSPA+ capable hardware that TMO has currently is the Web Connect Rocket USB Modem. However i've seen a few examples of the HD2 getting more than 7.2mbps, i think there were some 10mbit examples somewhere in a thread on this forum.

I really dont fully understand how HSPA+ works in a mixed environment of HSPA7.2 and HSPA+ mixed hardware at the same cell site. Im used to other radio technologies where having an older radio technology within range of the AP will slow down the connection speed to the lowest common denominator. unless the HSPA+ capable towers are actually transmitting HSPA7.2 and HSPA+ on separate channels and the phones are connecting to what they support.

If this is true then maybe our HD2's are HSPA+? usually when a radio tech is rated at a certain speed like 7.2mbit you'll never see that speed, even if you are the only user on that channel. like a 11mbit 802.11b lan, realistically you only get around 6-8mbit max because of all the overhead in the TCP/IP protocol.

A quick google search turned up that HSPA7.2 is uses 16-QAM encoding and HSPA+ uses 64-QAM encoding, so i don't really see how a radio that's talking 16-QAM can hop onto a channel using 64-QAM. I vaguely understand how QAM works, maybe 16-QAM can talk on a 64-QAM channel so long as points in the two constellations fall in the same place?
[HD2 General] SecrtAgentMan:
Do you have full 4 bars most of the time?
[HD2 General] :
Okay, YES IT IS! The chip in the HD2 has HSPA embedded in it as it is stated on Qualcomm's website and they made it. Just because T-Mobile said it couldn't when it was release doesn't mean anything. T-Mobile's network and the software put on the HD2 was not able to support HSPA at the time of release. since I've upgraded to the 2.14 radio released by T-Mobile my 3G icon has been switching between itself and "H." Don't believe me? Here's the link to qualcomms page.

Snapdragon Chipset

Scroll down to the first gen cpus and read about the 8250 which is what is in the HD2.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
From my understanding, HSPA and HSPA+ are not the same. I don't think wether the HD2 could support HSPA was ever the question. From day one my stock HD2 switched between 3G and H and is now mostly H. As far I know HSPA+ and HSPA are two different "technologies", or something to that effect therfore making HSPA not the same as HSPA+. Someone that knows more PLEASE correct me if I am wrong.
[HD2 General] :
If you are connected to a HSDPA network, you will have the "H" displayed as well as if you had HSPA(+). The icon is the same. HSDPA and HSPA are two different technologies, HSPA and HSPA+ are not.

The following is from Wikipedia:

HSPA supports increased peak data rates of up to 14 Mbit/s in the downlink and 5.8 Mbit/s in the uplink. It also reduces latency and provides up to five times more system capacity in the downlink and up to twice as much system capacity in the uplink, reducing the production cost per bit compared to original WCDMA protocols. HSPA increases peak data rates and capacity in several ways:

Evolved High Speed Packet Access (HSPA+)

Main article: HSPA+

Evolved HSPA (also known as: HSPA Evolution, HSPA+, I-HSPA or Internet HSPA) is an upcoming wireless broadband standard defined in 3GPP release 7 and 8 of the WCDMA specification. Evolved HSPA provides data rates up to 42 Mbit/s in the downlink and 11 Mbit/s in the uplink (per 5 MHz carrier) with multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) technologies and higher order modulation. On 21 July 2010, T-Mobile USA announced HSPA+ service to 50 markets with plans to increase this to 100 markets (185 million people) by the end of the year.[7]

I should say that until 21 July 2010, T-Mobile DID offer HSDPA in their market...
