LI too am concerned about sprints data speeds. Here in Minneapolis on AT&T's 3g network I always get 1.4+. I easily get over 2 late at night. My friends hero on sprint gets 7-800k 100% of the time. My AT&T 3g only drops to 7-800k when I'm in the far out suburbs. Both the hero and my 3gs are running the speedtest.net app from their respective app stores.

There is a reason AT&T advertises the countries fastest 3g netwok.
[EVO 4G General] TickLe MY eLMo:
That is not true at all, gsm is much faster than cdma...or has the potential to be. Right now it is at par with cdma, a bit ahead actually, but not my astronomical amounts.

But honestly, who cares, because at&t has such ****ty 3G coverage that it doesn't matter if it is faster, sprint has really good 3G coverage(WAY WAY more than both at&t and t-mobile), and when you aren't in sprint covered areas, you get to use verizons towers due to a deal sprint and verizon made. They average around 900kb/s more or less, during heavy daytime use, it can go to 750kb/s. It gets a high of around 1.3mb/s.

For those interested, sprints 4G network gets an average of 4-6mb/s.
[EVO 4G General] osufishman:
Not true at all, cdma is fundamentally superior to gsm. GSM is used around the world because it is the cheaper older technology.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
IMO at&t is crap, the only reason they are even semi-popular is because they got the iphone on a 4-year contract with apple. Biggest complaint of iphone users is the dropped calls with at&t.
[EVO 4G General] fazzy:
I just switch myself from at&t to Sprint and also got HTV EVO I use to be iPhone Owner

now iPhone is a good phone but coz of at&t networks piece of **** ... but man I m loving EVO its amazing ..
[EVO 4G General] jeffla:
My biggest complaint is in fact dropped calls. Maybe 1 or 2 a month, but the data speeds I see with At&t are much, much faster than Sprint or Verizon in*MY* area. http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/62NT3_cZ7mz7n3hZf0GafQ?feat=directlink During the day I get 1.4+, but I generally test late late a night when I get home from work.

I spend 90% of my time using data on my phone, so the slower Sprint/Verizon network in *MY* area is a real concern for me. A dropped call now and then isn't.
[EVO 4G General] clubtech:
I have the at&t N1 and get 2Mbps+ on avarage.

With Sprint (i have the EVO that was given at google I/O) i get really bad speeds on EVDO (with good signal)

I have never yet seen it go over 1Mbps. ususally get 300Kbps and i tested in mutiple places.

This is considered VERY slow and i really hope this is just an issue with the radio of the EVO whcih can be fixed.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Damnit..... Just what I was afraid of.
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
My sig is my average speed using USB tether on my Hero from my house in knoxville TN...

sometimes i break 2.25 mb down on late nights when the network doesnt have much traffic
[Nexus One General] fordstang99:
I woke up this morning and had no phone service....so i restarted my nexus and my phone service came back but with no data connection....anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus One General] johanove:
Carrier? Have you checked if they have problems?

Tried your SIM in a different phone?
[Nexus One General] fordstang99:
Tmobile is the carrier..now i lost my signal all together....I dont have another phone to try my sim out on :(

ok...so both data and service came back for about 30 seconds...i got two white arrows going around in a circle like it was updating something then i lost all connections again and says emergency calls only

any ideas?
[Nexus One General] fordstang99:
ok...i have this weird folder on my sd card named .android_secure...dunno where it came from looks new to me
[Nexus One General] nwskier:
data signal lost here

Hey, I'm having the same problem here, no weird folder in my sd card though. Went to bed last night everything was fine, woke up and my apn list was wiped.... I reset everything in the apn and still no data connection but I have service. I'm running the latest Cyanogen mod stable for nexus, almost seems like an update was attempted last night and since i"M not stock things went crazy....
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Call t mobile and see if there is a data outtage.

I had no signal for like three hours last week.
[Nexus One General] ROBIN50N:
tmobile uk? mines down too. manchester area.
[Nexus One General] TailsNeon556:
sim cards do go bad.... i had this happen last year... maybe go to tmobile and see if you can get another if there are no reported outages.. the probably wont even charge you if you go to a corporate store
[Nexus One General] fordstang99:
so i called tmobile and they said they knew what it was...had to turn my phone off for two minutes and still waiting to see if it worked..but i dont know why the sync or update arrows were showing up on my notification bar. sure hope it was Froyo passing me by :)
[Nexus One General] ROBIN50N:
where are you, uk or usa?
[Nexus One General] Arcarsenal:
I've had something similar happen to me as well. This was a few weeks ago. I live in Chicago, and use T-Mobile for what it's worth. I ended up pulling the battery for a bit and rebooting. I got the data connection back.

Sometimes though, the data connection will seem to hang a bit and I'll see the flashing arrows and sync icon as well. It seems random, but the last time it happened to me was yesterday.
[Nexus One General] nwskier:
back

It must have been a localized black out here in Washington State (US) because my data connection came back on just now after 3 hours of being shut off. For awhile there I only had edge and no 3g and without me doing anything 3G and H have connected back on.
[Nexus One General] Arcarsenal:
Well that's good. The optimist in me says that the outages and weird issues are related to the upgrade of HSPA+ for us :) Let's hope it's true.
[Nexus One General] GMeditation:
I had the same problem in WA. Data has also been restored here.

There is a thin strip of rubber all the way around the HTC hero screen (GSM)...

On mine at the top left corner the rubber has come up a bit and looks ugly...

Anyone else had this problem?

If I change the logic board from t-mobile to att would it pick up on att 3g? or is there something else i need to change.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
thats a good question, because you might also need a new antenna. who knows if the ATT antenna is slightly different vs the tmobile antenna, since the frequencies are slightly different...maybe different design?

where would you get the new logic board anyway?

[Desire General] ferraridave:
I've not got a desire yet but will be getting one in a few weeks courtesy of a free upgrade, I'm on o2 and would like to upgrade direct from them, but would like to hear from anyone who's already done this about any branding, is there much ?, if so is it changeable stuff or not ?

If the branding is too much and locked (I don't want to root or flash it, other than a htc official one), then I'll get one through a third party, unbranded, as I did my blackstone.
[Desire General] Heiko77:
Hi, I've got a o2 Desire, but I got it over the my Hand shop. This Desire is not branded or locked in any features. Maybe this is only by o2 Germany.
[Desire General] infamous6622:
I've got an o2 UK, there is a o2 boot up screen and theme wallpaper. Apart from that no other branding, phones also unlocked
[Desire General] ferraridave:
Thank's infamous6622, knew it would be unlocked as all o2 handsets on contract in the UK are, was hoping it would just be boot screen & theme, obviously the theme is easy to change but is the default HTC one/s still in there ?, and can anyone tell me if the boot screen is easy to change ?
[Desire General] Azurael:
I got mine through CPW on O2 and it's unbranded... They do upgrades for existing O2 (non-CPW) customers, although they are completely and utterly rubbish to deal with...
[Desire General] ferraridave:
That's who I got my blackstone from, well, their online branch mobiles dot co dot uk, at the time £100 for the handset from CPW and free from mobiles with the same deal, but the desire is free on my tarrif wether I get it from mobiles, CPW or o2 direct, but because like you say they are rubbish to deal with, I'd rather o2 had my money direct, as I've had not a single problem with them in 6.5 years, so would only go to a third party if either the handset wasn't available directly from o2, or, it was but was too heavily branded.

hi i have from the last week htc desire on contract from o2,its unlocked but with o2 software,they don't have all original htc desire futhures,and i think to give it him back beacuse i don't think they will aloud us to upgrade to the new android 2.2,
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Does anyone's O2 desire have start up / shutdown sounds by default ! ?

Mine doesn't, but I keep hearing other desire users saying it's very loud on startup/shutdown !
[Desire General] Teppic24:
It would appear that none of the operator branded ROMs have the start up sound. Your on O2 doesnn't, mine on Orange didn't and I've read on these foruns thet the T-Mobile one doesn't wither. The people saying that the start up sounds are very loud have either unbranded models or (like me) have flashed a stock ROM.
[Desire General] ferraridave:
CPW deal should be the same as mobiles as far as I know, they don't come with unlimited data but are £5 a month cheaper than o2 direct, so you have to add the data via o2 afterwards which is £5 per month, making them identical in price.
[Desire General] albert_htc:
Thanks.. Thought I was missing out on something ! :)
[Desire General] __WiZaRD__:
But apparently CPW o2 FUP is only 200mb? And then they charge after..

[Desire General] ferraridave:
o2 unlimited data is nothing to do with CPW, doesn't matter how you got your phone or what phone youv'e got, you pay o2 for unlimited data, and that's what you get, until recently buying a tomtom go live, I used tomtom on my blackstone with a traffic subscription mostly all day, when not streaming video or doing other downloads, for a while I even downloaded linux iso's on it at work, then copied them over to the pc and burnt them when I got home, and in nearly 18 months of doing this I've never heard anything from o2 about FUP, and I got my contract through mobiles, a subsidary company of CPW.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tiagosalgado:
I everyone,

I'm getting a problem in my Kaiser phone when i'm trying to use internet connection.

After i turns on the wifi or 3G connection, i takes 1 minute to my phone turns off.

Then, to turn it on again, i need to connect it to a cable charger.

The battery apparently is good (90% +/-)...so i cant understand what it is happening.

Sometimes, when i making a call, it turns off too at the end or at the middle of the conversation.

There's anyone who have this problem too? Or similar?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Sounds like battery as shutting down when increasing the amont of juice usage mA.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
yep. battery protection circuits. had same issue with a month old - new battery
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tiagosalgado:
Thats what i thought! Thanks to both.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] baggarell:
My kaiser have same problem too. I was looking for new battery, but I am not sure which one to chose ... the big one with new back or original?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] papo:
the big one seems to have the same electronics as the classic size one, which make it not work as it should. You'll have slightly more power with it, but not so much as you would expect from it's specification.

classic size - original would be expensive

fakes are ok, but tends to break. capacity is fine on them. I would buy 3 pcs of fakes. they are like $3 and at least one will make it.

I've got 3 fakes, (in 3 diffderent phones) after 2 months two working good, on the third current sensor got crazy and start shutting it off on wifi or call.

But this would too indicate that there IS current sensor what is a little surprise, as before they didn't have this protection. (just thermo or none)

and get an external batt charger too. I have two of these, works fine:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] baggarell:
Thanks! I was thinking abut that, i think i'll go for the biggest mAh (for the original size) and use the external battery charger (maybe the one with docking station for phone).

And I'll use this dead battery only for NAVIGATION (in car with the original HTC car charger)
[Hero CDMA General] colemorris:
Okay xda, here's a hypothetical situation I'm considering:

I'm running damagecontrol 2.08.1, and I know the official 2.1 is out now. However, I hear mixed reviews. I'd much rather be running the official update, but at the same time not too sure I want to lose root. It'd be good to hop off the root train to avoid pains like this, but then I'll be impatient when Froyo comes around I suppose. Anyways, I was wondering if it were at all possible to:

1.) Backup via Nandroid my system running 2.08.1 rooted.

2.) Update to the official non-rooted 2.1

3.) Test it out, and if I don't like it, restore to my 2.08.1 rooted via Nandroid, and have root access again.

Can anyone confirm whether or not this would work? Also for those that updated, what are your thoughts on Root-vs-Non?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
You figure out how to run a nandroid backup without root, after running the Sprint RUU, and you will make 27 people on this forum VERY Happy.

not me, I was smart and didn't load it...or at least i didn't "take one for the team":rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] colemorris:
I see, so that recovery menu isn't stock android recovery? Well then here's another question.

If you could get flash-rec on an unrooted phone through the ASTRO install method, could you flash a custom recovery image like 1.6.2, then do a nandroid restore from backup?

I probably sound like a mega-noob, just wanting to know why we can't do these things.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Nah, I "took one for the team" but am actually working on it. I DO have to say that the official 2.1 is DAMN fast though. Like, faster then pancacke 0.1 hehe ;)

No but seriously, there is almost 0 lag, and the only thing that I have seen wrong is all of the apps in the app drawer :P

And no, the nandroid thing is NOT possible.
[Hero CDMA General] colemorris:
Hmm, thanks regaw for the answer. Is it fast enough to make waiting for a 2.1 rooted unnecessary right now? Cause damage hasn't logged in for ages, and I'm tired of all the force closes and errors I'm getting. I'm just not so sure it's worth upgrading when I may have to wait longer if I update to an unrooted. I mean, I have A2SD, DConfig, all those shenanigans that make the phone so much better. What's your take?
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
Well, If you would like to do anything other than what Sprint/HTC wants you to do, I would recommend NOT upgrading, but waiting for something to come out. I know that Damageless is really busy, but I know that trevE is working on things too. They just need to finalize some stuff to get it out. While official 2.1 is fast, it doesn't have a whole bunch of things that us on custom ROMs take for granted. This is my first time on an official ROM since January, and, I do not want to keep it on for long, 1) just so I can begin developing again... and 2) so I can figure out the method of getting root back for everyone who ran the RUU.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Damn it Regaw I just realzied that you have more posts than me. :mad:

Any how, good luck on finding that root.

Here is this from Millworm, But it hink Eris devs proved it was fixed long ago.

Just some stuff I have looked at doing, but I am not willing to jump ship on a rooted phone.
[Hero CDMA General] distantneighbor:
you know I have been back and forth on whether or not to go with the official release and lose root, but during that process I loaded up Pure Hero rom which is based off the alysious (sp?) Rom but with Sense removed and man is it fast.

I have no need to lose root and this little phone is very speedy. And yes, I have tried Damage and Fresh (and a few variation based on those two) roms. Although they are decent roms, they just and turtles when compared to Pure Hero.

As far as Sense goes, I did like Sense, if you want it then do the alysious (again sp?) rom. Just that I think removing sense speeds it up, and honestly you can get all those functions through apps.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdg4891:
Hey all,

So I have a rooted Eris (checked positively using terminal emulator) running a 2.1v3 ROM. What I'd like to do is eventually get to the 2.1 OTA ROM.

Earlier I downloaded ROM Manager which, after some searching gave me some problems other people have been having. I can't flash to the ClockworkMod recovery image as it gives me a "Error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" message. I tried reinstalling, fixing permissions etc. all with the same results.

So now i'm trying to flash Amon's recovery image instead using Terminal Emulator and the command line:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/file_name_here.img

only to yield the message that the file could not be found or something. I'm on a mac and I saw another way on here that involves running commands from your computer to your phone using the skd. I started to do that only to run into a "permission denied" when attempting the first "adb" command line.

Am I missing something? I'm trying to read and re-read as closely as I can. I'm not entirely comfortable with this whole process but I'm trying to take the time to really understand it and i'm still having difficulties.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samiam303:
Well I only have a small bit of advice on this because I don't completely understand what you're doing, but when I was trying to run adb commands on my mac, I found that I couldn't get adb to work by running "adb shell" from within the tools directory of the SDK, but if I navigated up one directory into the main SDK folder then ran "tools/adb shell" or whatever, the adb commands worked.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdg4891:
If I go that route, I'll give it a shot.

What I'm trying to do in a nutshell is get Amon's (or any) recovery image on my Eris so I can load ROMS easier. Right now, if I were to boot into Recovery, I get the littly android guy next to a /!\ .. :/

[HD2 General] LBTaylor1984:
hey all,

ive had my Hd2 for about 6 months and I'm thinking of getting rid of it for a N1 or a Desire. i mean is this a smart move?

my main reason is the lack if apps for the hd2 is pathetic and most are in the old skool windows mobile interface, which looks crap to the likes of the sense ui.

im also finding the slowdowns in win mo are driving me bonkers. for a high spec phone im not impressed.

course being that i have to lay down the best part of 400-600 pounds to get the forementioned phones id like the communities help. im tempted for a google N1 as the updates are more regular, but the sense UI on the hd2 i find really nice. so what would you guys say is the betterof the two? and would you get one over the hd2

thanks,

Luke
