[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crakerjaks:
Its being indoors,wireless phones,routers,buildings,trees, environment more then anything that affects signal and reconnecting issues. I have constant 0-1 bar of 4g in my room and bathroom, no reconnecting issues and I have rooted/nand unlocked, OTA'd, rooted/nand unlock again and flashed almost every single rom thats has come out of the developers forums with no issues with 4g (excluding the froyo roms with no 4g support).

Rom: Fresh 1.0.1

Version: 1.47.651.1

Radio: 2.05.00.06.10

PRI: 1.34_003

PRL: 60662

Kernal: 2.6.29-netarchy-toastmodnatas@64bit-evil #117

At My desk with Window Open or Closed: 0-1 bars 4g

Inside my bathroom: 0-2 Bars 4g (maybe its the plumbing?)

Average download speeds of 4.5mb Down, peaking 5.10mb Down (San Marcos,TX Server)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw99:
I noticed that this topic has gotten very quiet. I also have been noticing this week that my phone has been reconnecting in 4G areas on its own for the last couple of days. I won't say its perfect, and I still use the phone call trick when I am in a rush to get my 4G up.

The only way I really noticed it, was in instances where I forgot and left the 4G radio on, then notice that I have a 4G signal.

For a location reference, this is in Baltimore MD.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
I live in Rockville MD and work in downtown DC. I've rooted, installed Fresh 0.5.3 and now 1.0.1 and the Fresh Toast #26 kernel. New radios, all that jazz. I modified the WiMax engineering settings in the ##data# menu to fix the time-out issue.

And it works great. If I turn it on, it stays connected and works fine. Yes the signal is one, sometimes two bars. It's a new system so it doesn't have the density the 3G network has. But even at one bar in my apartment, it is steady and fast.

People having all these broken 4G problems, I'm convinced it is mostly a result not following instructions.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbiff:
Do you use Wi-fi and have to reboot to use 4G and vice versa?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdc177:
I disagree. Which instructions are people not following? Even you had to use a ##data# workaround.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MCL1981:
I don't have to do any of that. I can switch between wifi and wimax to my heart's content with no problems.

Ok, other than that issue. The people with 4G not working at all are the ones I mean.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milominderbinder:
I also want my 4G to work better. In particular in fringe areas my 4G is constantly dropping out then it takes forever to find that it has 4G again even when it does have 4G. If I manually turn off the 4G and then turn the 4G back on, it forces a rescan and it finds the 4G right away. I have tried Menu > Setting > Network > 4G > Menu > Force Scan and it does not seem to rescan.

After reading this thread and others, I am trying these settings. Can anyone offer any more ideas?

--------------------

wimax settings

standby time (minute) = 10 ← Maybe make this longer?

scan rate (minute) = 0 ← My EVO will not let me change this...

...

wimax scan attempt timeout(s) = 1 ← My EVO forces this to 5.

wimax_scan_retry(s) = 120 → 15 seconds between retries instead of 2 min.

wimax idle sleep(s) = 10 → 30 Is this how long before it turns 4G off?

wimax entry rx (rssi) (dbm) = -89 → -94 seems to help keep 4G in fringe.

wimax entry cinr (db) = 4 ← No idea

wimax entry delay(s) = 300 → 1 s instead of a 300 s delay once 4G found

wimax exit cinr (db) = 2 ← No idea

wimax exit delay(s) = 2 ← No idea

handoff threshold = 0 ← No idea

idle mode timer = 0 ← No idea

Any help or ideas to try would be appreciated.

If you want to reset to the default WiMax settings they are here:

Hi guys,

i often buy apps in the android market, and often i discover that i doesn`t like a specific app ive bought.

It was always possible on my desire to go to the downloads in the market within 24h, and just press uninstall & refund at the app i dont like.

Now ive bougt two apps with my new galaxy S. I then wanted to uninstall a just bought app and get the money back but hey ... there where the "uninstall and refund" button should be, theres just a "uninstall" button.

Tried things like reebooting my device, use another internet connection, reinstalling the apps, resetting my device and so on, but i stell don`t get the refund option back.

Does anyone have a hint for me? Thanks ;)
[General Questions and Answers] TooSlo:
I'd noticed this as well, but when I uninstalled, it still refunded the money.
[General Questions and Answers] AndroHero:
thats how crap the galaxy s is :eek: do you wanna swap it for my desire? :D lol
[General Questions and Answers] soulcrash:
Strange, thats happening not for me. Ive uninstalled one over the system menu and one over the market, but now 24h are over and i havent got my money back :(
[General Questions and Answers] soulcrash:
Still a problem for me, any hints?
[General Questions and Answers] South.paw:
I've had the same problem, but not with uninstalling, more or less the refund reaching error before the 24 hour period is up to request one. :( Always try and contact the developer if it happens. Though in my case, I never received response...though everyone is different.

This information was deleted but is important to have. The old thread was a mess and deleted. This is not a flame just facts that needs to be seen.

The ota calkulin put out radio and all.is EXACTLY the same as the ruu files. There is NOT nw wimax or radio in the ruu. Below is a diff comparison of the two

Http://pastehtml.com/view/1a08c0f.html

Now that we are sure roms based on ota patch have right files, we ned to figure out wimax.

U renvoked put a news article out saying flash image is loosing data flashing wimax radio. How do wr fix this?

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/jul3update
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
wait you reposted this after a mod deleted it ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
I'm sure the old thread was deleted because of flames. This is a working thread on figuring out wimax because wr are sure the files we have been using all along are proper. There is nothing wrong with posting this information

Do not start flaming. I'm not.

One method from old post was to use dd on the partition. Treve you still out there I lost your post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
was i flaming?? no i was asking there is a difference don't get so defensive
[EVO 4G Android Development] TrevE:
im still here. im taking a back seat to alla this, but whatever.

Yes i did diff's and i did permissions checking on OTA vs RUU. they look proper. i do not believe itis anything in the roms i checked out (calkunins OTA files and damagecontrol obviously) i believe it is something to do with wimax.

now my theory was in the last flaimbate thread was that we could mount the wimax img to a loopback mount point and use dd to write it to the wimax partition. im not sure if A) it is a yaffs2 img or something that can be mounted and B) if we can even directly write wimax partition (/dev/block/osmethingorother) dd should be a 1:1 write though..

someone else might have some insite
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
How can we verify what is written to.wimax partition?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrmithdobbs:
I think a good start would be to start with a device that has the newest updated wimax firmware and *is working* and dumping the partition like this:

( from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=716694 )

And see what the differences are after intentionally messing it up.

Then do the same thing on a device still running 24772 with first a working image and then a messed up one. (Once you have the backup getting back to a working state should not be an issue as seen in that thread.)

Doing it with 2 different versions should give us a good idea of what they're doing that flash_image is not. Well, we already know they saving and adding the keypair, but this should put us on the right track as to how to do it ourselves.

My phone's currently stock and on the official 1.47 release because I had other issues and had to go in and get a replacement setup on friday or I'd take a look.

WARNING

thread was deleted for a few reasons. 1) it wasn't in no way shape or form a development thread, there for it didnt belong in the development forums. 2) it was a flame focused thread. not only by the OP but the rest of the members in thread pursued the same suite. i wont delete this thread but i will move it. let it get out of control again and in the trash it goes. i believe this is a general discussion thread as ur only making a comparison for FYI purposes. on another note, next time a thread is deleted u can PM me or the mod who deleted it and tell ur side of the story to get the thread reopened.

but again this is my warning. start flamming and ill start banning ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
How is writing out wimax image dumps general? I think mods just are upset because of flipz putting fake facts. This is absurd

I pmed a few mods. Moving this is in bad form
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
from what i see here it belongs in general. all it this is just a diff of two groups of files. the last thread went nowhere and so is this one. what exactly do u plan to do with this diff? what purpose does is serve but to defend a members work in some form? why does it belong in the development section?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
This is not about the diff its about the files are propper so why isn't 4g working and comparing dumps of wimax. The posts above are very much so dev related. Your just stuck on one portion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
fair enough. ill move it back to development. but as i said let it become a flame war again and its gone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Calkulin:
Ok? What is this now about??
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
Just proof the ruu is the same as your ota, radio and all. Without getting into details T here was some question by some devs...

Anywax I have taken wimax dumps of a stock radio, one new radio where 4g works and another that used flash image and is sick on scanning

WIhat did find interesting is there is significantly less information in the data wimax folder, especially the file with user name and password in it is half the size...

Putting my data together now... This should ber useful.

hi, i have the icedhoneybun rom . i still have issues with the slow texting response. i will text a wrod as "hello" and i will hit the "hel" and then the phone will begin to type the words. it is annoying and get confusing when i am trying to type because the phone will assume i am holding down a word to get the other input like the number 1 . will overclocking fix this problem ? does anyone know which ROM has the fewest problems? i do not use twitter or face book or finger prints or any social apps

The android keyboard is significantly faster than the HTC keyboard. If you're looking for less lag, ditch the HTC keyboard. Darchdroid types very well from my experience.

anyone know whats going on with my phone?

Trying to root it - completed step 1 and then turned on USB debugging and ran staep 2 - selected option 6, the phone did its stuff and after it rebooted i noticed neither the phone or pc registered that the usb cable was connecting the two (after step 2 and reboot) and so when i run step three it says device not found!!

what do i do? is my phone completely bricked?!?

thanks :(

I had the same problem and solved it by installing a usb driver.

I think you could have one by installing PC Companion that comes with the phone :-)

new evos come with this installed?? wheres your source on that, first i heard of that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oOflyeyesOo:
Id say that where ever people are getting the phone now, the reps there will install the updates before they give it to you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
My source is me. My friend got his from Best Buy this morning, he asked me to root it for him. Then I discovered v1.47.651.1 on it.

My EVO is currently smashed, I am awaiting a replacement. I pray my replacement doesn't come with that version on it but I'm probably SOL on that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
There are still NEW Evos that are coming with stock ROM. I bought another Evo last Thursday from the Sprint website and got it yesterday. It has the 1.32.651.1 firmware and 003 Novatec panel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
I have no doubt that is true. But it's simple logic to figure that eventually those older versioned phones will run out and get replaced by the new v1.47.651.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hdad2:
I thought about offering $ as well. Which I may be willing to contribute. But I have the fear that it will cause the free flow of ideas between the devs to stop if they think another dev will crack it first.

They deserve the $, no doubt. But I'm hoping they would be willing to work together and split it up. If that's the case, lets see how high the pool can get.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
That's an excellent point. Perhaps it should be donated to the xda forums instead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
Is it possible that they updated it at the store?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Sure, it's possible. But he said the guy handed it to him in the box, and the plastic protector was still on the phone screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frettfreak:
Can you not just downgrade to a previous version then root? (like what you had to do at the beginning if you already got a phone with the first OTA?)

And since you didnt specify that it needed to be full root or NAND unlock.. you could just use this:

[EVO 4G Android Development] apexi350z:
I agreed. Instead of patching to fix the new updates, and in the process losing 4g and possible lose root, dev should try to concentrate on break in the new rom. The best way to get all the updates on the phone is still with Sprint/HTC OTA's own updates. Then we can root afterward.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Minjin:
I think you guys might want to use some strategy here. We all know that there are a limited number of weak points to break. We also know that HTC will be releasing 2.2 sometime soon and that is quite likely to be the last update. I'd make the suggestion that work on a root for the current ROM be put on hold, or at least be less open, until after HTC releases 2.2 and plays its cards. Rooting now and letting HTC break it again greatly increases the chance that it will be unrootable next time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lordofokra:
I got mine from the new batch that Sprint was shipping out, running DC 3.2.2.1 without any problems. It probably came with v1.47.651.1 right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Land Master:
I was actually thinking the same thing or at a minimum putting some type of agreement in place that all the "customers" agree on. I don't want this to be a strict "business" arrangement (considering its a relatively small amount of money for each of us) but I would hate to pay for something, use it for a few weeks and then have it become obsolete.

That said... I'm in for $20 as I stated earlier with or without the "fine print". A deal is a deal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] webs05:
To me that makes little sense because the more updates applied the more holes get patched and the harder things become to root. Not to mention devs always get stock deodex rooted ROMs out pretty quick after release and get OTAs into custom ROMs. So what would be the point in waiting for 2.2 before rooting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Minjin:
I'd bet money that we won't see any updates till 2.2. And the things they fix are things that involve users. Bugs are reported by users and security exploits by users are observed. They aren't likely to see any security holes until someone exploits them. They have too many other phones to worry about. Once a phone goes out, they probably leave a skeleton screw to do updates for a little bit and everyone else moves on to a new phone. You think they have time to sit around just looking for security holes? They don't. They just watch the user groups. But every times XDA finds a hole and HTC patches it, the game gets tougher. How many times can you play before the game gets unwinnable?
