I really want to go vanilla, and 1.7.3 seems to be a great rom. Just wish we could figure this damn facebook sync thing out..

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikrantsofty:
Hi,

I have got Touch G2 from T-mobile Germany. On its official site i see version for update 2.73.111.26 but on"http://www.htc.com/de/support.aspx" i can see OTA update of 2.1 Available.

How can i update mine to 2.1? Anyone have down-loadable update, as i am using in India OTA update is of no importance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Got my Evo today - what fun! Its my very first smartphone and so far I think its great. With 4 bars on 3G I get 2.0-2.4 mbps down. With 1 bar on 4G I get about the same speed. I'll need to hunt around and see how 4G signal strength varies with position. My neighbor 1 block away gets at least 4 mbps. I guess this variability is the nature of Sprint's WiMax network?

I've seen lots of posts with people reporting statistics on time spent on/off, awake/asleep, amount of data downloaded, what apps are using what resources, etc. What tool does one use to collect this information?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
You can get some information through the about phone; up time, awake time, battery use etc etc.

As far as the 4G, I think it's more of it being such a new network. Was just out back taking a breather and I can get 1 bar of 4G. 2-4 Mb pretty consistently ... sometimes it drops, pulled in 5 on a couple speedtests. The 3G though, it's weird because I'm lucky if I can even get 2 Mb. Dunno though, gotta assume the stability of the 4G will only get better. Figure I'm right on the brink even though the coverage map appears to have it bleeding out past me. In time I suppose.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Baltimore is the oldest (and I assume most built-out) 4G market area that Sprint has in the US. I was able to connect to 4G on the first day I had the Evo. Then did the OTA update. I've been unable to connect to 4G ever since. I switch the 4G radio on and wait, the icon at the top of the screen always says 3G. Am I doing something wrong? Is there somewhere else where I need to enable 4G? Anyone else having trouble accessing 4G since the OTA update?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsims85:
I have also been having some problems with my 4g. I had no problems with 4g until the update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
Curious, 4G still works with my phone after the OTA.

I see B-More has been up since 2008 or something? First city! Whoa. But strange none the less. Your buddy, whom you referenced in the original post, still able to connect?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
I've had my EVO in Baltimore since Launch Day - have not done the OTA yet (rooted) and my 4G was working fine until this morning. Wonder if there is some sort of outage today.

All I get is Scanning -> Connecting to Sprint -> Obtaining IP -> Scanning.

This has happened in Baltimore and Annapolis.

Also, I have hit 5mbps download near the Beltway and I-95.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willfck4beer:
Dude!? Where in Bmore? I'm over in Ellicott City and I get maybe 600kbps on 3g or 1200 in Samsclub Catonsville and at BWI...

4000-5000 on 4g

Oddly though I've been getting "network connection lost" and google maps just stops and refuses to download any tiles. Pandora freezes too...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
You started having these problems today?

I've searched the web and this seems to be the only place that 4G problems have been reported in Baltimore.

Also, are you pre or post OTA?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
I'm downtown. This morning (7/2) I checked (outdoors) near Camden Yards and at the Inner Harbor. No 4G. Maybe its just coincidence that there's a network problem just after the OTA? I'll keep checking....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
So, I called Sprint. As expected, they claimed maintenance in my "neighborhood". As I mentioned above, I've been in Baltimore and Annapolis today with no 4g. I have a hard time believing that they took out the whole area for maintenance. However, he did claim that it should be back up by 7pm.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5harkology:
I'm in Ellicott City and get about 4.5 on 4G and 600-1.0 on 3G.

I work right on the edge of the 4G coverage (Clarks Ace Hardware) so I'm usually at 1-2 bars. If I go 1 block east I get full reception, but if I go 100ft. west it completely drops 4G (route 144 & 40).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Checked for 4G connectivity this morning (inside my brick rowhouse, near the baseball stadium in Baltimore). I've got a weak 4G signal again - and measured 4 mbps bandwidth down. Good enough for me. I'll take some more measurements around town and see if there's any place with a stronger signal.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acme64:
I spent the whole day yesterday at the harbor, 4G never connected once. Fail :/
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Went to Sprint at Inner Harbor. They were getting 2 bars of 4G in the store, and I was getting none. The tech there noticed that I had turned off the "Location" switch (which allows GPS to update applications of phone's location). I did that because I didn't want GPS radio on all the time (save battery), and because I thought it would give me a bit more privacy. Tech said for 4G to work at its best - need to turn Location -ON. Reluctantly I turned it on, and now I'm consistently getting 1 or 2 bars of 4G around the Baltimore downtown area, with 3.8 - 4.5 mbps bandwidth down.

SO - in order to use that battery hogging 4G radio, one needs to turn on yet another battery sucking radio? Wow - are others in 4G markets finding that 4G works better with GPS on and Location on? Or was that tech just grasping for straws...?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acme64:
i've always had the gps on. no luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willfck4beer:
interesting! Don't know if any of you have tried sensorly map... kinda sweet... it signal strength maps 4G and 3g and 1xrtt via crowdsourcing... and lets you compare coverage btw sprint/att/vzw/tmob...

But I'm worried how accurate it is due to several issues:

...

1) I contributed data and never saw the map update

2) data will be skewed as GPS needs to be ON for map to work - so it should report better 4g coverage than actually exists AND

3) Most people who contributed seemed to be wardriving (or just leaving it on while driving)... and from what I've read wimax isn't that good at mobile or handoffs...

If it is accurate... this is not going to be a fun 2 years... SPRINT coverage looks like ****! even compared to tmob...

Any input from anyone smarter?

btw - I'm moving to a boat down in inner harbor... anyone have any results from the water?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acme64:
I'm wondering how accurate it is too. Wasn't there some kind of radio problem with 4g not connecting? Wouldn't that skew the results?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjh410:
so im in downtown baltimore (otterbein area, right off the inner harbor), and both my wife and i just got evo's on friday. neither of us can get a 4g signal anywhere, unless we're standing literally across the street from the sprint store in the inner harbor. is this usual? is there some kind of outage right now? sprint was entirely useless when i called tech support, and i got transferred around about 11 times before being told they'll look into it and call me back tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToScale:
Make an appointment to speak with a tech at the Inner Harbor store - sounds like there's something wrong with your phone or settings. Coverage in downtown Baltimore can vary a lot with location. I'm in Ridgely's Delight (less than a mile from you) - and I've been getting between 3.5 and 5.0 mbps down.

It's not a good way to get root. And google won't use it for any reason other than to protect its users or it would be facing quite a bit of legal action and people would stop buying their product... you want to appeal to people.

i thought it was a flash problem so i upgraded to the latest energy rom, now naturally devoid of its connection to my phone number it no longer vibrates when it gets a ring, just sits there dead. the screen has not come to, ive attempted to hard reset it a few times, nothing works. it is still capable of connecting to my computer and being recognized for what it is, an HTC Fuze.

Its out of warranty so any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Streak 5 General] Muo:
Wishing for some odd reason Dell Sales chat would magically say "Yes you may order one now, let me take your information" was my main motivation to bug them tonight. And hey, some good came of it, I am on a notification list!

"For now, we have no exact date when the device will be offered on the US but if you want, we can send you a quote to notify you when it is available for US. is that okay?"

So I listed my phone and email then gave appreciation for the small yet extremely satisfying gesture.

I have posted this here as well http://forum.pocketables.net/showpost.php?p=42375&postcount=16

Others in that thread also confirm this "notification list" offer from the sales chat reps.

Rumor has it, the Streak will be available on July 14th :D

I just got off with the chat again and the agent said "It will be released some time by mid July". Looks to me it will be released at or around the 14th ^^

Maybe the 14th as the rumor has it or the 15th when the winners are released from their obligation ..

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT .. Has 1.6 on it .. I don't know when the next update is but I read they would have something called "Gingerbread" ?? on the first of January... that is a lifetime away .. What would 2.2 give me that 1.6 won't ?? I had Nexus One and I don't see any difference really.

2.2 Has a lot of updates as you would expect in a major update but to be honest it flies with 1.6 on it so i am loving it.

[HD2 General] bonapardo:
Hi,

Anyone know if there's a registry hack to remove the Home and Settings options from the home screen tabs at the bottom of the home screen? I actually use Settings a bit, but the Home option makes no sense to me. Not only is there a hardware button that takes you to the home screen, but as far as I can tell, the home screen tabs only appear on the home screen anyway, kinda making the option pointless! I'd prefer to put the settings option on one of my quicklinks instead to free up some space on the home screen tabs (I like a nice tidy maximum of 5 down there to prevent the need to scroll) and assume that if a registry hack exists, both options would sit in the same area.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[HD2 General] hugojungle:
Don't do it

There was a thread about it, but you would have to search for it. I don't remember anymore wharmt exactly the titel was.

I came from the same side and tried to remove the HomeTab.

1st point: it worked.

Sideeffect: not only the button in the slider vanished, but also the complete Homescreen.

So, it's better you leave the fingers off this topic.

If you want to find the thread, just search for all my posts (there aren't so many). This might be the easiest way to find it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robonumber1:
Hi, I am new to these forums and bought my nexus one one month ago. After the recent froyo OTA my ambient light sensor only brightens my screen. If the light dims and even when there is no ambient light it fails to lower the brightness and will stay bright forever.

I have tried using wipe cache and a complete factory reset from recovery mode. After this I even reflashed the official froyo OTA which is found on these forums. I am a new user and can't post links yet.

This is an AT&T, Rogers/Fido phone and it is stock. Can someone please confirm and see if this ambient light senor problem is an actual bug and exists on other phones. If not then what can I do to fix it as it was working properly before.:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
Yes, I have FRF83 (T-Mobile version) and that seems to be the case for me, as well: the display will only dim when I first hit the power switch to bring it out of standby. It will increase the brightness when the ambient light becomes brighter, but not vice versa. I hadn't really noticed it until now.

My suspicion is that this is intentional. The original software on the Nexus One generated a lot of complaints that the screen brightness changed unpredictably, that very minor movement of the unit would make the brightness change repeatedly. At least this way, the screen is guaranteed not to be inappropriately dim, but you will still get most of the power-saving benefit when you turn the unit on in a low-light environment.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
I too believe this is intentional, I'm sure I read about it somewhere.

Alright, thank you for your responses. It would appear that they did this intentionally. As long as it's not a problem with my hardware only, I just got worried.:)
