Well, no hsdpa plus in Miami. My speeds have gotten better thanks to the new 5.08 radio and some build.prop Modding.

When I was in Tampa I couldn't find hsdpa plus no matter where I ran the speedtest app

If sprints 4g comes to Miami and blankets my neighborhood I may jump ship. This BS with tmobiles unreliable service is pissing me off. A guy in class has a att compatible n1. And no matter how u hold his n1 his signal never dropped and he consistently hit 2.8mb on speedtest.
[Nexus One General] heygrl:
Sprint 4G coverage is far worse than 3G coverage for any carrier so good luck with that. But don't expect 4G service even in the smallest of porta-pottys.
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
I got high hopes. In their roll out coverage schedual for Miami it looks like they will be blanketing the whole city with 4g.
[Nexus One General] dudebro:
I just looked at the HSPA+ coverage map and noticed it went live here in San Antonio.

guess that could explain why my download speeds have increased a lot over the last few days.

I'm constantly recording 1mbps and up never dropping under 1mbps and my highest being 3.91mbps.
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
Captains log. Service in Miami is still crappy....

How bout u guys?
[Nexus One General] posito75:
Dude here in downtown Miami the speeds are incredible. Kendall has a slight speed increase as well.
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
Downtown does have decent speeds. I clocked 3.8 down and 1.2 up. Airport area is still horrible
[Nexus One General] sstang2006:
WOW something really nice just happened in Miami. check this out :D
[Nexus One General] saint327:
Is that even possible? I thought the max was like 7Mbps
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
Holy crap. Where did u achieve these speeds?
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
+1.....

10 char

Judging by his amazing skills I'm going to say MS-Paint.
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
as of today, tmobile announced that miami florida now has hspa+. can anyone confirm this? im in miramar till 10pm :(
[Nexus One General] androidaddict23:
I can confirm for pennsylvania will take screen shots of speed test and other screens, at work its HSDPA at home reception always sucks mostly edge.rooted nexus one with korean rom before transition 3g was a bit faster.
[Nexus One General] sheek360:
My friend in Miami went from 1mb dl to almost 4mb dl!
[Nexus One General] onesavior:
really dont notice anything here in St. Louis...:(
[EVO 4G General] chandlerw88:
I just want to remind everyone with an evo that they have no reason to not support America in there world cup bid because now with Sprint Tv and Espn Mobile you can catch coverage on the go, and it streams pretty nicely on 4g. :)
[EVO 4G General] jscurek:
Sprint TV was always horrible, at least with my vogue. plus, click on the wrong thing and sprint will add a 9$ charge to your bill. First app I will delete when I get comfortable with rooting this beast, then the rest of the sprint bloatware crap.

American football > soccer imo.
[EVO 4G General] berkmanmd:
Chandler

I look forward to catching all of the games and might watch some while at work on my phone ;)

Sprint Tv on EVO with 4g goin isnt bad at all, its actually quite clear, and the espn mobile channel is free and the ui isnt that bad to where your gonna click on something and accidently subscribe. I do prefer american football over soccer but its hard not to like any sport imho. Especially world events. beside, i didnt know the NFL was goin on friday or Saturday, Whos playing????:D
[EVO 4G General] indiearmy:
They need to fix the syncing issues and I hope they do before the World Cup starts. They also need to bump up the resolution of the video so it matches our screens. The images just look horrible. It's a shame we're getting the same feed as a feature phone.
[Desire Accessories] druidamix:
Hi everyone,

I have bought a usb cable to mini-b and it seems incompatible with desire.

It can charge the mobile, but I can't sync.

In htc page you can read:

Standard micro-USB

(5-pin micro-USB 2.0)

It might be my cable defective.

Sorry for my enlglish. I'm learning,:p
[Desire Accessories] auswill2:
I read somewhere some cables dont have a data pin on it, so it will charge but not transfer data. You need to make sure on the package it states it is a data cable.
[Desire Accessories] smarti13:
data cable

I've just bought that one , working

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...30346&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3937wt_1094

hi

I've checked out Sprint stores and Best Buys and nothing but those universal car mounts. Anyone hear anything about when the nice one that leaked out awhile ago is coming out?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ZUUL42:
It's not out yet of course, but I think I'll get one of these when they are released. Especially since it's about the only one I've ever heard of for any phone that will work with no case or with a case. Apparently it has a removeable plate to make room for the Seidio case. And since it has an AMPS mount, I can mount it to the car specific mount I have.

Can't wait to see if it all is as good as it looks when it actually is released.
[EVO 4G Accessories] danknee:
I'm going to eventually get a proclip mount for my Evo. I obtained a no-name custom bracket for my S2000 through an S2000 forum that has standard mounting holes (mount any clip that attaches to standard mounting patterns).

They don't have a clip to fit the Evo yet, but I shot them a message and they will email me when it is available. I went the same route with my Hero and it took about 3-4 weeks after release for them to release the phone clip mount. :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] Midnigh7:
I would like to see one from http://www.arkon.com/
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
they all look good including the official one. im waiting that battery case thing...and then ill make my decision from there.
[EVO 4G Accessories] pecosROB:
That mount sounds pretty sweet.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zikronix:
the official one is supposed to be the end of july
[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
OK, I am retiring my iPod Touch for ripping movies to take with me on trips, to watch either on the phone or with the HDMI output. That said, what resolution should I rip DVD's to so that they look good on the phone and on an HDTV using HDMI output? I read that 1280x720 is 720P, but my test showed that the movie played fine on the phone, but looked like a 4:3 movie when I played it on my HDTV. Any comments/suggestions/experience is greatly appreciated (I *really* want to be rid of my Touch...LOL).
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
use the search button. there's already a hundred threads about this, we don't need another.
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
How are you going to rip a DVD to 1280x720p when DVD's native res is 720x480 ntsc and 720x576 pal? :)

I'd say to rip your dvd's to 720x480 MP4 using Handbrake if you like free solutions or my favourite for-pay dvd ripper of choice is Win X Dvd Ripper. Look them both up.

[EVO 4G General] Hero's Hero:
You can use Daniusoft DVD Ripper. It will put the movie straight to your SD card and you can manually choose the res, fps, and a lot more.

It's really nice.

http://www.daniusoft.com/dvd-ripper.html
[EVO 4G General] Rennat:
I would recommend ether the danusoft or cucusoft DVD rippers. CucuSoft has a vary of options that you can choose from. They go from little nanos to apple TV resolutions. You can of course by their full package but you can always save a buck or 2 by getting the one your need.

Here is a link: http://www.cucusoft.com/download.aspx
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Go with Handbrake, an oldie but goodie. Just make sure you encode as MPEG4 and not h.264, as the native video player on the EVO can't handle h.264.

Use most of the default options unless you know what you're doing, or have read through the help page for Handbrake.

Personally, for quality I just shoot for a target size instead of a specific bitrate. For 90-120 minutes of film, 700-800 MB is usually good enough for viewing on the EVO's screen (yes, I've tested).

For Avatar, I set it to 1500 MB as it's a long flick.
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
Your smoking crack the EVO plays x.264.
[EVO 4G General] frifox:
Yes and no... evo will play h264's baseline profile, but not main and high profiles
[EVO 4G General] P_Dub_S:
It's still x.264 that's what I'm saying its easy too just select the iphone preset change the width to 800 check keep aspect ratio and change the extension to mp4 for some reason it does a m4v extension.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
uh, thanks

Thank you for the kind correction :confused:

Nonetheless, for playing ripped movies on the EVO, I'd still recommend mpeg4 as opposed to h.264, if only because the encoding job is much quicker.
[EVO 4G General] flexte:
as long as there aren't hundreds of posts about it in this thread i think its ok to ask again. settings to encode for the evo may be different for the hero or mytouch. personally i use SUPER and use the ipod settings. sometimes ill adjust to taste. for real video watching i use my archos player no encoding needed.

I've just put a few videos onto my missus's Legend, but I can only play then via 2 methods.. 1... download Astro (or similar!) and find the video in here.. or 2. open the photo viewer and scroll through all the thumnails until I find the one I'm looking for...

Is there a way to create a shortcut to the video player on the home screen? or will I need to download a standalone video player?!

Done some searches and still don't have a conclusive reason for this.

Use Case # 1:

1. Added a new Contact to People as a Google Contact

2. Phone states that Contact has been saved

3. Went back into People to look for the Contact and it's not there

Use Case # 2:

1. Added a new Contact to People as a PHONE Contact

2. Phone states that Contact has been saved

3. Went back into People to look for the Contact and it is there

Any explanation as to why the Google Contact is not getting added to People whereas the Phone Contact is obviously local and being added right away?

Another question -- How does one change a local Phone Contact to a Google Contact?

Thank You.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lexcell:
Use HTC Sync if you want to deal with contacts saved to the phone. Personally, every contact I save as a Google contact and have no issue ever. That way if lost, broke, or stolen, contacts will always be saved a la autosync.

maybe you have a faulty device. If you're not using google contacts then it would make no sense to save contacts as google contacts now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
When in People select Menu, then View and check what contacts you are displaying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridersinc:
Thanks for the responses. It's just some lag time between the Device Google Contacts and Gmail Google Contacts. I see my contacts on my Gmail Contact List now.
[G1 General] d00m:
Some strange events happened to me yesterday. I've had my g1 since december of 2008. I bought it off someone at craigslist because I am on a AT&T family plan and didn't want to switch carriers. I unlocked the phone soon after and have been using my phone happily since then. I also do no have a data plan and make sure to remove all APN information after each flash.

I have been happily flashing roms going from 1.1 to 1.5 and to 1.6. Lately I was using "NonSense Cupcake revolution" but yesterday I decided to update to cyanogen 5. Right after the upgrade, I got a text from AT&T congratulating me on my new smartphone and telling me that I now need a data plan. 10 minutes later we found out that AT&T deactivated all our sim cards and none of my family were able to make phone calls.

Does anyone have any idea what the heck happened? How did AT&T know all of a sudden I was using a smartphone. Is there something about android 2.1 that raises a red flag? I really DO NOT want a data plan and will rather stop using my g1 than pay $350+/year on one. My current plan is to give them my old Nokia IMEI when I get my new SIM card and then pop it into my g1 after downgrading back to the 1.5 rom I was using.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing your ideas.

Edit: New theory; found this elsewhere:

"Note: If an AT&T customer puts their SIM card into a Nexus One device, our smartphone data requirement policy and control rules will apply; this allows customers to enjoy the benefit of using data services from AT&T. The following welcome message will be delivered:

Your Smartphone is active! A data plan is required and if omitted, will be added to your account. For details, see your sales rep or att.com/smartphoneplans."

So AT&T thinks I put my sim in a nexus one so I think if I downgrade I should be fine. Any way to make a 2.1 rom look like a 1.6 one? build.prop maybe? I cant test anything myself until I get my new sim.
[G1 General] mejorguille:
Call them and tell them you put your sim card in a borrowed phone lol. Push a build.prop from any 1.6 to change your id. For fun, open the build.prop with notepad and change g1 to Nokia 1100. If you don't use data they can't charge you
[G1 General] d00m:
Ha we think alike; I told them exactly that yesterday. What value of the build.prop would I need to change to make it look like a nokia?
[G1 General] mejorguille:
There you go=p I just changed every time it said dream, htc, or passion and changed it to nokia=p I don't think that market will work right though. You could try pushing the build.prop from a 1.6 build to cm5 but then i don't think video would work, so you will probably need to merge the 1.6 build.prop with the 2.1 build.prop.

Rename to build.prop and push to /system/
[G1 General] d00m:
Thanks dude. I'll be sure to report back on Tuesday or Wednesday and tell you guys what happened.
[G1 General] PanzerGeist:
Odd. I never had this issue.

I've been using my G1 with AT&T for some time now.

The update to 2.1 (CyanogenMod) didn't result in any variation for me.

Of course, I am using AT&T's "dumb-phone" unlimited internet... even still, there appears to be no indication on their side that I have a smart phone let alone a Nexus One.
[G1 General] ayush20m:
Same with me. I am also using the $15 dumb phone data plan and a switch to CM5 did not trigger any notification from AT&T's side.
[G1 General] d00m:
Quick update: I wussed out and flashed the backup I made of the 1.5 rom I was using. I didn't feel like risking getting "caught" again. I got to play with cyanogen's new rom for a few days and while great it did not drastically give me anything I didn't have before. I ended up giving them an old nokia imei as my phone and putting the new sim in my g1 shortly after. No texts forcing me to get a smartphone plan yet. I doubt I'm the only one that will have this problem so I'll just give a warning:

If you have AT&T with a g1 without any kind of data plan, after updating to android 2.1 they might try to force one on you.

Thanks for the help and ideas. I'll post again if they try to get me to get a plan again.
[G1 General] Ninjineer:
If AT&T actually offered 3G coverage in my area (a major city, imo) I might consider it. Otherwise, they can polish my knob.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
This doesn't have anything to do with the version of android you are running. They can't detect that. They CAN detect your IMEI and compare it to the database to determine if it is a smartphone or not.

Alternatively, the thing tried to connect to a data service when you plugged your card into it, and they looked at the data and determined that it was consistent with a smartphone, i.e., dumbphones don't try to connect to google on port 5228.

Very likely the reason this happened so suddenly is one of the two things;

1) it corresponds to the end of their infinite data plans.

2) it corresponds to you "activating" your google account on your phone.
[G1 General] d00m:
Interesting. I'm not sure about the IMEI thing since it is a t-mobile phone runnning on an AT&T network. I just find it too much of a coincidence that the problem occured right after updating so I doubt its that. They also haven't reported anything since putting my new sim in my phone 2 days ago.

I guess you're right about them not knowing what version of android I'm running but there must be something in 2.1 that raised a red flag. I deleted an APN file from /system/ before I even booted the rom for the first time so I don't even think its possible that it tried to connect to them. Strange stuff.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You don't think that ATT can read the IMEI from a phone sold by tmobile? I can guarantee that they can. Or if you're worried about ATT being able to link up an IMEI to a type of phone... they can link the IMEI to a lot more than that.... I'm not sure if you realize this, but the IMEI exists ***FOR A REASON*** and it isn't just to look pretty....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Allocation_Code

http://www.radioraiders.com/gsm-IMEI-TAC.php

The coincidence is that you happen to be updating your phone when ATT happened to be changing their policies.

That's because they probably do it cyclically, or they put your account into a freeze period after a manual adjustment.

It may ALSO have related to rebooting the device -- connecting to their network that first time after they initiated a policy change may have triggered a routine.

Nope. Nothing special in 2.1. In fact, it would be quite a security violation if it were to broadcast itself out to them.
[G1 General] d00m:
So I guess it's only a matter of time before they detect my g1. Pitty since I was using my phone for over a year before all this happened. It's weird that they make you read out your IMEI to them while activating a sim card as if they can't see it. I'm just going to keep using my phone as is for as long as I can. The vibration on it no longer functions so I won't be supper crushed if I have to change phones to avoid a data plan.

I have 3-4 friends who have t-mobile branded blackberrys and android phones without a data plan on AT&T. Our school has wifi everywhere so it is truly unneeded. I guess their "check" cycle is fairly slow as none of them have had problems yet. Maybe the process isn't automated yet.

I really do appreciate the information although it's not exactly what I wanted to hear.

edit: http://androidandme.com/2010/06/carriers/att-introduces-new-lower-priced-tiered-data-plans-june-7th/

This isn't terrible. I can always do this but there's no rush I guess.

edit 2: Is it possible that an attempted apn connection (data) is what caused the detection? I said I deleted a file but looking back on it, it may not have been the correct one to prevent connections.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Yep, that's what I was referring to.

It is possible.

Note that the rep you read the IMEI out to may NOT have had a read-out of the device model ID. In fact, doing that might freak some people out -- you know, the whole big brother knows too much thing.
[G1 General] d00m:
Finally some resolution. Turns out a woman stole my mom's identity and went to a wal-mart and bought 5 blackberries under our AT&T account (probably to sell on the black market). Our SIMs where soon deactivated like I said in the OP and the smart phone text had to do with those phones rather than my phone. Upgrading to android 2.1 had NOTHING to do with it (of course). It was all just a coincidence. The strange thing is that AT&T never told us about these new numbers, even when we were reactivating our new SIMs, and we found out when checking our monthly bill.

Now we have to go to the wal-mart where the people committed fraud and try to find out who did it and file a police report. We might end up being charged $400 in deactivation fees. Well that's how it all went down. Funny. I upgraded to android 2.1 at 4:30 on that day and booted my phone at the EXACT moment they bought the fraud blackberries. Ugh. I know this is largely unrelated to android or my g1 but I thought I would let you guys know in case you were curious.
[G1 General] jamesd86:
Sorry to hear about that. Your mom might have to pay the fees but as long as the individual(s) in question are found, you can always take civil action.

Surprised no one brought this up but, ATT and all the other services can't turn your service off just because you're using a smartphone and don't have a data plan. That is an optional addition to your monthly bill and as long as you are not using data, they can't charge you or force you to buy the data.

If you're dumb enough to sign a two year contract that requires a data charge monthly for the duration of the contract..well, yeah.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
If the phones were added by someone other than the account owner, the service provider has no legal grounds to hold you accountable for it. Fact is that this was a failure in THEIR security and/or walmart's. The service provider should have some procedure to make sure that the person adding the phones is actually who they claim to be.

If not, then you sue ATT AND WALMART for this.
