Sorry, but that is incorrect.

I'm on T-Mobile, and I regular see G, 3G, and H depending on where I am.

Right now, my phone is sitting on my desk in my office and is showing 3G. If I run a speed test, it immediately jumps to H and I get results of 1877kbps down and 476kbps up, so I'm definitely provisioned for HSDPA.

So, you can be correctly provisioned for HSDPA and still see the 3G symbol, though it would appear that this will jump to H pretty much as soon as you start using data.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] r2b2:
HSDPA (H) is a lot faster than 3G, but not all mobile masts have the right equipment to use it. If an HSDPA cell is available on a mast then your phone will only show H and never 3G. However, if the mast is not configured for HSDPA it will show 3G.

If a handset is connected using 3G/HSDPA and the signal is weak/lost it will drop down to 2G(G)/EDGE.

Most issues people have with the handset dropping down to 2G will be coverage/signal related. Best thing to do is try it in another area. If the connection is stable in any other place you are in then there is nothing wrong with the handset.
[Desire General] r2b2:
HSDPA is data-only so the handset will show 3G if not using data. As soon as a data connection is established/requested it will change to HSDPA (H) if it is available. 3G is for voice/texts and also data if no HSDPA is available.
[Desire General] Aitese:
I only get H/G here in the UK, but a recent trip to Paris had me only on E. It's dependant on what the carrier is using.
[Desire General] nodq:
Bull****... It is like Edge and Gprs, Edge is a "better" version of the normal Gprs, you get >Edge where ever Edge is available, otherwise normal Gprs.

Same to HSDPA and 3G (umts) thats why i get mostly 3G here and HSDPA not that often, because my Provider has bad availability of HSDPA.

Is there an easy to use bluetooth app. for the Touch Diamond around?? :o
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] not4you:
use for what ... music, mouse, hands free?

basically I use BTOnOff.exe for direct/fast connection and BluePower for automatic connection when inserted/mounted on car-kit (depending on car-kit you can use it for music transmitter, via a FM radio transmitter).

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctcurry:
I love the N1 and am using it in the car by plugging the headphone jack directly into the stereo for phone/streaming audio/navigation.

When a PHONE CALL comes in. I have two choices:

1) I can hear them crystal clear over the car stereo...but the cant hear me because the Mic gain is at normal level. Or...

2) Hit the speakerphone button and up the Mic gain....but struggle to hear them as it switches over automatically to the tiny Nexus internal Speaker.

Looking for a way to have headphone output WITH mic gain at speaker phone level. Anyone know of a fix/app for this? I havent found it after searching high n low.

Help greatly appreciated, I know there are several of us out here trying to find the solution. Thx.

Hey Guys! so ive been having major issues with the upgrade 2.13 on my HD2.. I want to take it back to Tmobile but want to flash it to stock first...i did a hard reset several times to try and fix the upgrade..i think i just need a new phone..If someone could let me know how to flash it back id be much appreciated :D:D:p
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
read read read read read

however if you havent installed hspl, then you dont need to worry, the 2.13 is official, so as long as there is no hspl, it is still valid warranty.

Thank You! all i did was the ROM upgrade i didnt mess with the HSPL...at least not to my knowledge..sorry for all the noob questions... :confused::confused:
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no probs, every one was noob once. :) you can just give it back as -is if you want, since the spl is stock

I need your help . I want Enable the flip clock when going back to homescreen tab . many thanks . I use manila 2.5 ( sense 2.5 )
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Franwella:
Hi

Can you be a little more specific as to what you're wanting to do.

Do you mean, that when returning to the home tab after being on another tab, you're wanting to see the animation of the clock flipping tabs?

Or have you lost the flip clock and want is back? Is it possible you have switched Sense off? If so, you can switch it back on again by going:

Start > Settings > Today > Items (tab) > tick 'HTC Sense' > OK

Sense should restart for you.

If this is not what you mean, then try to explain y our problem and I'm sure someone will be able to offer some advice :)

I used to use cooked rom, tried 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.x.

Failed to search for phone signal today, confirmed not SIM card problem.

Will cooked rom damage hardware? Thanks!:confused:
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
I don't think so , Hard-reset your phone with your Sim-card inside it and it will work again
[Touch GSM General] bombom81:
If the problem still persist, try to install radio from this link :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=440503

If that does not solve the problem, I think the only way is to install a shipped ROM that suits with your phone's specification (ELF or ELFIN, Model ID and etc).

But don't forget to return your SPL and IPL to origina ones when you will load a shipped ROM. You can find them on XDA Wiki.

Hope your Elf (Elfin?) will be Ok!
[Touch GSM General] rexlun:
How can I know my original IPL? SPL?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
if you didn't run the dsixda script before hand that grabs all your information, and have sinced changed your IPL/SPL then I'm not sure.

However, If you know your phone model number (T-MOB0005 etc.) You may be able to guesstimate to what they were based on that - Personally, I think that could be a bit risky, but it was worth the suggestion.

Do you remember if you have changed the IPL and SPL? You could always run the dsixda script now to see what you have. It should be in the ROM section :)

Sorry I can't be more help, but I can only make a suggestion as to how, as I have always took a note of them before starting anything.

At the same time - I also have an elf that is unable to connect to a network, I have tried radio upgrades etc and custom roms, so if you do fix it, I know that I would appreciate the outcome, as would many others who have posted the same issue - In the mean time I am continuing my hunt for a fix for it :)

Stu
[Touch GSM General] rexlun:
Is that means that I can only use cooked rom from now on if I don't know the original SPL IPL?
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
If you haven't changed them, then you could well still be able to use your shipped rom.

but if you don't know what they were, and have changed them, then yes, custom roms is the only way for you, from what I understand.
[Touch GSM General] rexlun:
Thank you for your kindly help! Is so nice to be here!

I'll keep trying and report here if I've my 'touch' recover!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroid007:
I have looked around (maybe not in the right places) but haven't found a generic and clear cut steps to remove any lockscreen (HTC or rotary or anything else) via adb and replace with custom lock screen of any other sort. Can anyone that knows exactly how to accomplish this post the steps or if those steps are already floating in the forum somewhere post it?

Thank you so much..... (I had to flash the rom every time I messed with the lockscreen!!!)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevinXtreme:
I don't know what you mean by custom, but to remove the HTC Lockscreen, do this with adb:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
exit

That will remove the HTC Lockscreen and, assuming you're running a ROM that has the vanilla lock screen already, it will show up with that.

There aren't many custom lock screens for 2.1 that I know of. All the ones I've seen have been for 1.5.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroid007:
I'm not sure if damagecontrol has vanilla lock screen along with his Rom, if he doesnt then it explains. Thank you.

Would anyone be interested in beta testing the Desire Froyo Android 2.2 ROM?

If enough of us offer to do this, there is a chance we can speed up the release of 2.2 to the Desire, and get early access to the ROM and most importantly app2sd.

Interested? Leave your name here after you have emailed HTC to let them know.
[Desire General] abats:

[Desire General] abats:
Trust me this will accomplish nothing more then receiving a generic mail from HTC that they are doing everything they can to provide users with amazing updates. Don't mean to rain on your parade but thats just what I (and I assume a lot other rational people) believe.

Can a Mod move this then? I honestly thought it was related to Desire development?
[Desire General] neoKushan:
This will achieve absolutely nothing. And here's why -

If HTC let you "beta test" any of their software and something goes wrong (Phone bricked, permanently?), who's liable? sure, we could all sign a disclaimer waiving HTC of any wrongdoing, but people will still complain and HTC will still get a lot of flak from it. So why bother when you can just wait?

If you WANT to "beta test" the rom, just wait a week or two - N1's are getting updated, people will dump the rom (probably have already) and it wont take much to port it to the Desire (minus sense, of course). There you go, there's your beta test.
[Desire General] stingerpl:
Wow. You honestly think that HTC will give a fl*ng f*ck? ;) Obviously, you have never worked with/for a corporate business.
[Desire General] cosmicharade:
You mean like the ones I've beta tested with before? Look at least I'm trying some positive suggestions rather than just whining about not having app2sd, at least I'm trying something. And who cares? It's no skin off your back so what's the big deal?

Either way, the reports of random bricking by rooting bother me, so I'm desperately trying to avoid rooting, while desperately craving app2sd (for legitimate paid software, not to break copy protection even if it can do that).
[Desire General] SGTDavePwnage:

Ha now that would be funny if there is a beta test!

But i mean now days, betas arent what they used to be, i dont pretend to now what im doing ( im only a computer uni student) but all the betas iv tested ( fairly trival ones like office, game tests, etc...) are just a way of getting feed back to help improve their product, then actually do a "proper" beta, which i guess they leave to experienced software enginneer staff to do.

Let just hope we get froyo before july i think :)
[Desire General] XDA mark:
Why would you want Apps2SD, if almost none of the current apps have been modified to be able to install to SD? You wont be able to put an app on your SDcard if the developer of the app does not allow it.

So unless all developers have already updated their apps for Froyo, it is pointless (if you want Froyo for Apps2SD, off course. If you want Froyo for the other things, this at least makes sense)

Anyway, these 'everybody mail HTC' things never work.
[Desire General] geccco:
I'm pretty sure Google them self will let us install Earth on the sd card, and there you go, 23mb free space only from one single app move :p
[Desire General] Aitese:
Has there been an update to that app in the last week or so? If not, then again, if you had FroYo right now it wouldn't matter. The benefits of FroYo are yet to be really taken advantage of. We ALREADY have tethering from HTC, no apps have been updated to include the option to move to SD, the new market that allows over the air installations isn't up yet...so it's just the speed, which isn't that big a deal as it's pretty speedy already.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
You forgot WiFi tether - the ability to do this without rooting is important for some people (not particularly for me though as I can use PDANets bluetooth DUN, or a MiFi with a separate data plan).

From my experience beta testing is months before release I've beta tested Microsoft products so if 2. 2 is suppose to be this month think this thread is full of bull.. mind you HTC string users along about release dates I had a hero and gave up and bought the desire.

it's probably a load of rubbish but ask yourself this...how awesome would it be to have a chance to beta test a sense 2.2 ? took 30 seconds of my life to email them.
[Desire General] Aitese:
My point is...email WHO?!

I mean, before you do anything, first come to terms with the fact HTC is based in Taiwan. Next go to their site and realise you have to email support in one of 5 different regions. This belief that the guy answering your email sits a couple of chairs away from the developers coding Sense onto 2.2 is naive at best.

The CS people are possibly some third party company located in India and pass on scripted answers based on your query. They are certainly not privy to development road maps! I work in development and it would be suicide to let customers get a whiff of our projections. Do you know how much development cycles slip when it comes to targets? We would be cutting our throats to let CS reps anywhere near that info let alone encourage them to tell customers.

This whole thread is an exercise in attention whoring.
[Desire General] kinkade:
i'm sure that you are absolutely correct in everything you say. We have a project in development at the mo and we also play our cards veery close to our chest.

Like I said it probably is a load of rubbish, so what? if you dont ask you dont get and if i'd listened everytime someone told me something was impossible i would have missed out on some of the best experiences of my life. Not that i think that beta testing 2.2 for htc would qualify as that of course
[Desire General] Aitese:
There's taking a punt and there's being silly. This falls into being silly, asking a girl out is taking a punt. One of them at least has some semblance of grounding in reality while the other is steeped in ACTUAL impossibility. I mean, if someone told me jumping really high won't result in me touching the moon I wouldn't think "well that's just your opinion". Sometimes something really is just a dumb idea.

Emailing HTC's Australian CS department (as the OP has done) asking if the guys in China are going to be passing out internal code to customers is just plain ignorant.
[Desire General] iammt:

"We have already given the list of volunteers for the Android 2.2 beta to our Engineers."

[Android Software Development] cosmicharade:
I have barely developed anything since the BASIC days on the C64 and Amiga, and now feel inspired to create some financial applications for the Australian market - such as superannuation projections.

How hard is it to develop? A few standard calculations like you would see on a spreadsheet would work, with some graphing.

Most financial applications I have found are pretty basic and don't account for inflation in rising wages and fees, etc.

I believe I could attract at least a dollar for a well developed application for superannuation alone.
[Android Software Development] cosmicharade:
I have installed the Android 2.2 SDK and have no idea where to start. I presume this is some sort of emulated Android device I can test my applications on.

Are there any tutorials on how to get started? What's the development language?

All I need to do is create a simple text interface to input a few parameters to run some complex financial calculations on the back end.

A really sophisticated application would pull live interest rates or other data and enter that in.
[Android Software Development] jimmy_v:
Start with this:

developer.android. com/resources/tutorials/ hello-world.html

(take away the spaces, I cant post links yet :( )

These are all great tutorials that will walk you through the basic processes and applications/layouts. The only issue you will have is when/if you decide to go through the "Tabs View" tutorial, there are a lot of errors in the code, and I have no idea why no one have changed it, but you can PM me for the correct version.

If you want some basics on Java, just do a google search, there are a lot of great tutorials out there for beginning Java. I recommend doing this first, just so you have a good understanding of Java(which is the development language), it will *REALLY* help out. You can incorporate other languages, but for the time being, stick with Java.
[Android Software Development] Steven__:
Yes, the SDK comes with an emulator so that you can test your programs without having to install them on a real device. In addition to what Jimmy said (and I can't stres highly enough that you should start with the Android Developer's website and tutorials), you can go to Stack Overflow which is a programming Q&A website. People there are generally very helpful, as long as you've shown you've actually put some effort into solving your problem before you posted your question.
[Android Software Development] cosmicharade:
Fair enough... So it's basically about learning to programme for Java? How hard would it be, realistically, for someone with no application development experience?
