[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerin:
i just got this phone yesterday. it's a pretty good phone and feel solid but what dissapoint me is the web browsing speed. i live in tampa and i heard we got hspa. so i dunno why i'm getting 0.40-70 mbps most of the times. the guys who work at t-mobile show me their speed test on their nexus one shows around 2-4.0 mbps.

anyway to fix this problem? did i got a faulty device? i usually try the web in my house and i dunno if that's the reason why my nexus one doesn't get fast speed. but my evo 4g runs okay.....even tho it's from sprint.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotwake424:
You sure that you have the T-mobile version of the nexus one?

AKA- is it displaying the 3g Icon?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerin:
okay, i've just drove around tampa and speed test my nexus one's 3g. the highest i went up to so far is 2.61 mbps. that's the highest i think i've seen so far from my nexus one. even my sprint's evo 4g doesn't go up that high. that's not bad! lol i'll try to compare those two again tomorrow when i'm at work. i guess the reason why i got slow speed is because i'm in a crowd neighborhood community and t-mobile coverage is not as good compare to when i go to the main road. even tho i did i got 1.36 mbs yesternight when i stepped out of my house. in the house....it's not so good.

well, i'm glad it's not my nexus one problem and more to do with my area. now i get go return my evo 4g and save some money on my family plan. gotta admit tho, sprint's 3g stay consistent most of the time compare to tmobile.

and yea, i checked the inside back of my phone yesterday and it was for tmobile. it shows 3g most of the times too. thanks man. cheer!

In my opinion, sometimes those radio waves just don't pass through walls as easily as gamma particles do. Now, if we could figure out a way to get a phone to use gamma radiation, but not kill people or give them cancer, that might be a pretty sweet setup!! Sorry, this probably makes no sense, but I am tired, and its late.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerin:
make sense lol. could it be the material of the walls? because when i'm at walmart or some of the other stores, the 3g on my evo 4g is still fast. haven't tried the nexus yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eclair~:
I don't know if what you're saying is true or not, but I think I rather have low cellphone signal than cancer lol..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamhlj:
I just seem to get worse 3G reception when I go inside a building. Like in my house, I am getting 200 kbps, but outside it will be closer to 700 sometimes. It really bums me out :(

But, yes, I agree with you. Bad cell phone reception is better than getting cancer. Tho there are some nuts that think that cell phones WILL give you cancer, lol.

After rooting/unlocking NAND and installing Fresh (which has been awesome BTW), I find that I am not able to redownload previously purchased applications for free. (It wants me to Buy them again)

They all appear in the market, however, it does not recognize that I had purchased them before on the stock rom. I verified that I am using the same GMAIL account that had purchased them.

Anyone know how I can fix this? TIA!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinroot:):
Try downloading some thing from the market to see if that helps. If not You may want to nandroid back to stock and reload the fresh.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jchap2k:
I was wondering if there was a way to make bluetooth so that it would select specific Bluetooth devices as a higher priority than others.

For example: I wear a bluetooth headset.

I would like for the Bluetooth headset to be used 90% of the time. However, when I am in my car, I'd want the car's bluetooth to be used. Right now I can't find a way to tell it to use my car's bluetooth, other than to manually go switch over.

Is there any tweaks that can be made so that it will choose to use the car bluetooth over the headset one when the car one is present, and to switch back to the headset once the car bluetooth is no longer in range?

This fix might sound crazy but it works

i have 2 evo's version 002 both with pretty bad light leakage under the buttons. One has 3 buttons and the second 2. In the dark they are very visible and i was getting annoying ready to return both. I tried the blowdryer trick but that did not work.

This is what i did about a week a ago, it only takes a minute.

Go get one of this which you might have laying around your house.

http://www.oppictures.com/singleimages/400/SAN82001_1_1.JPG

Go to a dark area where you are able to see the leakage and start painting let line between the plastic and leakage. try pushing down the plastic to and using the pen to paint some of of the inner cover. Get a towel and remove the ink that got into the screen and bottom cover.

After doing this my phone have not shown any leakage. i have tried water in a towel to see if it would remove the ink and show light leakage but no leakage what so ever (do not try alcohol). This fix is invisible to the naked eyes, i have 4 friends with evo's and they could not tell what i did, even after telling them they still did not know where was painted

This is an easy cheap fix, it takes about 2 minutes and anyone (and i mean anyone) can do it.

So please if it make you feel better returning bu

[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
sorry, i fixed it. English is not my native language so i do make alot of mistake in my writings.:D
[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
I don't believe i have had a phone that did not have any kind of problems related to software and hardware. The palm pre was a mess every new one i got had dead pixels, after 6 unit i finally got one that had 2 dead pixels. My diamonds phone use to get boiling hot. i could go on. all my friends iphones had drop calls like 20 calls a days (most switch to evo with me).

now the evil have a few problems, like the back cover not been flush and that was solved with a peace of small paper on top of the battery.

You will fine defect, nothing is perfect.
[EVO 4G General] coolguy949:
Interesting fix but it doesn't eliminate the fact the leak is happening because the screen is separating. Pushing the screen down will eliminate the leaking. The best fix will be to make sure the screen is sitting all the way down. So far I've only seen one guy do it on androidforums by pushing the screen down with clamps and heating it with a hair dryer. After letting it sit over night he didn't have any more leaking or lifting after two days. We have yet to hear from him on the progress (I think he ended up exchanging it anyway). Another guy said he tried the same fix and ended up making his phone worse.
[EVO 4G General] avalst:
thanks this is a nice cosmetic band aid :) If i don't see it, it doesn't bother me as much
[EVO 4G General] eduardmc:
yeah but it seems the screen separation on happens the first few days of using the device and the progress stop. my device did not progress after i notice the leakage and was looking for a fix. This kind of fix the problem since you won't see the light leakage at all. The screen separation is wasn't really a problem since i only notice it when the light leakage is visible.
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
Again the point is missed. This does not prevent the fact that in time the leakage will evolve into screen separating from the base. The light is leaking because the adhesive used during rush manufacturing wad improperly sealed around the face of the device. This was a huge problem for the iphone (didn't think it would happen to me but here I am with my evo)
[EVO 4G General] mhaedo:
This worked like a charm :) I've already exchanged my EVO twice (on my 3rd evo). The first two had dead pixels, and all three have had the light leak. I'm not in the mood to go through the RMA process with HTC, so this fix was a perfect solution for me. I tried a similar fix using superglue on one of the other EVOs I had, but it left an unsightly white residue in the crack of the screen.

While this may not be a permanent solution to the problem with the screen coming unglued, I'm ecstatic that I no longer have to see light coming from the bottom of my screen.

Thanks a lot.
[EVO 4G General] beesneazy:
This thread. ... with that Expo 2 ... funny.
[EVO 4G General] stroths:
I found my own fix after trying several different things including tightening the torx screws, using a hair driver and clamps, and an expo dry erase marker. I read a post about using plastidip which I had, but unfortunately it was dried out. I then decided to use something else I had around. A fine tip black paint maker (Decocolor - LINK). I dabbed the tip on a piece of paper several times to get a little paint on the tip. I then carefully ran it across the edge where the light was leaking which allowed a very small amount of it to drip down in the crevice. I then ran a q-tip and a paper towel along the edge to make sure any that got outside of the crevice was removed. Now I have no light leakage. The paint is permanent, waterproof (not that I will be testing that) and will be easy to reapply if I ever need to. It also takes very little skill and the markers can be found at a local Michaels or arts/crafts store.

On a side note, the hairdryer/clamp method did help a little, but this paint maker did the job the rest of the way.

I carry my phone around in my trouser pocket in one of these.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-LEATHER..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item483990906e

I am always on the move with the phone in my trousers and I am sure that the buttons get pressed all day long causing the phone causing the screen to switch on. I find that with my screen off all day over the weekend, the phone lasts about 16 hours without charge (which is pretty **** anyways) but when I am out, it lasts about 8 to 9 hours max.

Does anyone else experience this?
[XPERIA X10 General] andy8271:
nope i dont experience this

its more likely caused by your phone going in and out of high/low/3g/3g areas while its in your pocket. the buttons are quite hard to press accidentally imo
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
Apart from the top power button, it's only the middle button that wakes up the device. I have a gel case on mine (not that ugly ass full silicone wraparound crap) and the edges protrude a lot further than the buttons, so I don't seem to have this problem either.
[XPERIA X10 General] Terul:
I believe I have also had this issue. I haven't tested it via battery life, but I do sometimes pull my phone out of my pocket to see the screen on.

Additionally, I downloaded a no-lock app from the market, and whenever I went out and had the screen lock disabled, I'd pull my phone out and it would be doing something (using calculator for example). I've since, re-enabled the screen lock :(

Wish we could disable the menu button from turning the screen on.
[XPERIA X10 General] alitech:
Which case is that?
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
I have this exact kind, 4 different colours.

Just a random eBay ad to show you what it looks like.

The lighting is a bit bright making them look a bit more glowy then they actually are in this auction.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CRYSTAL-SILIC...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item4aa13c8cfd

They have terrific grip in your hands and protect the device face down, face up and from any edge impacts. Call it the cheapest insurance policy you can ever have. I have a black x10 and got clear, smoke, blue and red ones. They all look really nice on the device.

Watch the iPhone 3Gs is getting the iPhone 4 iOS without any trouble...clear, simple....I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY in the ANDROID platform the Droid will get this update the Nexus One will get that the EVO will be only in USA the Legend will be available for some carriers but not for others, the desire disappeared from 3UK network after 3 weeks.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
You can't use Portrait until someone makes an app to switch the camera IDs. I have a post on that somewhere.

There's a service called QIK(.com) which can do it, but the app they have made available for WinMo can only stream. The Android version on the HTC EVO does proper video calls. Maybe someone will write an app that uses the service, or maybe QIK will extend their app, or maybe a phone vendor will partner with QIK, though it all seems unlikely with WinMo 6 on it's last legs.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Now that we are soon (hopefully) to be in our third hardware revision for the Evo can someone confirm if the hardware version can be seen on the box?

It would certainly be helpful when purchasing from a store to confirm they aren't trying to pawn off the old ones first.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
On the bottom of my box under the bar code at the end I have

Rev.B

I have a 002 version so if someone with 003 chimes in that his box shows Rev.C then yeah. Bad news is not all 003's have the same hardware so I dont see the point.
[EVO 4G General] rekphiv:

[EVO 4G General] dekayte:
I have 003 and my box says Rev.B.

I haven't checked if I have the Epson or Nova but the Rev. might indicate what screen it is, rather than what hardware it is. I'll check in a bit and get back to you unless someone figures it out in the mean time.
[EVO 4G General] dekayte:
Okay. Even though I'm on hardware 0003. I have the Nova screen.

So, my theory is Rev. B is the Nova screen. Regardless of the hardware #.
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
That Rev. B isn't referring to the device, but to the revision of the text on the sleeve.

The only thing that pertains to the device is on the ESN sticker, and there's nothing on there about hardware versions, sadly.
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
Thanks to all for the info. I guess anyone purchasing should boot it up to confirm the hardware version.
[EVO 4G General] amirborna:
I have hardware version 0003 and Rev. B

I baught my phone about a week ago

The REV is underneath the box

the hardware version is in my phone info in the settings
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
You are treating 002 like a red headed step child. Now when you get a phone replacement you are going to ask to under the box and boot too? A discovery was made about Epson and now Nova is inferior? Hmmm
[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:
it was posted in another thread, but one way to tell if you have Epson v Novatel is to use the power control widget to change the brightness level; if the brightness fades, then it is Nova; if the brightness change is instant, it's Epson

[XPERIA X2 General] RJH57108:
I have noticed that my x2a goes out of standby when I am putting it into its case (on my belt). This causes the display to turn on again -- wasting battery time and possibly starting programs.

Has anyone else noticed this? I find that if I hold the phone for an additional 3 seconds befor I place it into the case, going out of standby does not appear to happen ... but that could be just operator error ... and I have tried to avoid hitting any of the buttons when inserting the phone, but the whole thing could be operator error ... or, like I think, that the phone is sensing a position change and jumping out of standby ...

Is there a fix for this?
[XPERIA X2 General] thenocturnalnurse:
I thought I'm the only one experiencing that problem.. The thing is, my phone is just on the table and in standby mode and then for some reason it just opens... Very weird..

[XPERIA X2 General] yummy-fun:
i noticed my phone was doing this to, so i set it down and watch it for a while and noticed the screen will turn on when it is updating my weather or email, so this may happen when ever it automatically connects (due to some email, weather, ect.) you can try turning off data connection, and see if that changes anything. good luck
[XPERIA X2 General] thenocturnalnurse:
mine was off all along... so I guess it doesn't update anything when this happens...
[XPERIA X2 General] yummy-fun:
sorry that didn't work, i'm just thinking out loud now, but my phone has recently stopped turning the screen on by itself. uhm things i've downloaded recently was the SDfix.cab and the htcSDK.cab but both of those wouldn't effect it. uhmmm. is there possibly something running in the background? the only other thing i can think of is lock your phone so you won't push button while its in your pocket, and wait for an update (which an update is unlikely to come out). sorry i couldn't help
[XPERIA X2 General] thenocturnalnurse:
It's okay dude, I did what you said.. I locked my phone whenever I have to put it in standby mode, and great... It doesn't turn on by itself.. so I'm guessing that I pushed some buttons while the phone is in my pocket...

cheers mate!
[XPERIA X2 General] matt69:
It's the magnet!

I know the question was asked a while ago, but noone has posted this as a possible reason.

There is a magnetic sensor for opening the keyboard in the top left corner of the device. When you move your phone near a magnet (most phone cases' covers are held by magnets) it will detect opening the keyboard and go out of standby.
[XPERIA X2 General] RJH57108:
I just tried that, and it does some out of standby when I pull it out of the case ... I was wondering why that happened -- sometimes, and not others -- and that answers the issue of pulling it out of the case ...

Thanks for that explaination ...

But there are other times when it goes out by itself ... but I have it is the case most of the time now, and not on the charger ... so it is not really an issue for me anymore, but it is another mistery solved ...
[XPERIA X2 General] hwy7.fox:
Yup, my X2 does the same annoying thing.

I agree, best way is to lock the screen.

Hi

Had a search and couldn't find an answer so here I go.

I believe that the desire records at 15 fps which leads to choppy recordings vs my iPhone 3gs. I was wondering, is there a hack to increase the fps beyond what it currently sits at?

I really don't see why HTC chose to only encode audio with the AMR-codec at such low quality... Is the microphone of such poor quality that they "hide" it using this codec?

Anyone tried recording sound using some another software?

Try the built in Voice Recorder?
