Set Network Type On Froyo ATT T9193

Hi Everyone,

I've been following the project for a while and was using Darkstone V5 until I finally switched to Darkstone Froyo and then Zego and Shu8i Froyo the past few days. I ran into a problem on the Froyo builds that took me a while to figure out.

Firstly, I'm running the T9193 on ATT, so only one of the 3g bands on my phone is compatible with the 3g network. So every now and then I'll fluctuate between H and E and even G while running Android while sitting in the same spot. When running an Eclair build this wasn't a problem because I could just go into Wireless Networks and set my network type to WCDMA only. When I switched to a Froyo build however, I couldn't set network type in the settings menu. Why isn't set network type in the settings menu on Froyo anyway? So the past few days I've been running Android stuck in EDGE every now and then. I searched the forums looking for a solution but didn't find much since Android on HD2 is still pretty new.

I searched up apps on the market and online similar to Bandswitch for WinMo, but there wasn't much and I wasn't liking what I was finding. Besides, if I could just set it in settings, I wouldn't need an app. Finally, I came across a post about the test menu in Froyo. This might not be new for Android users or users with phones that have had Froyo ported already, but since I'm an HD2/WinMo user, this is quite new to me.

I'm not sure what else is in this menu, so please be careful changing anything.

1. By dialing *#*#4636#*#* in phone, a "test" menu can be accessed.

2. Select Phone Information and scroll to the bottom. Select preferred network type from the drop-down menu. For ATT HD2 users, this would be WCDMA only instead of WCDMA preferred.

This is similar to what ATT T9193 users use for setting specific frequency bands in WinMo to prevent data from dropping all the time, as well as saving a little power so the phone isn't constantly searching bands. I've done this and I've stayed on H for a few hours now without jumping down to EDGE.

For Froyo, this is the only way I've found to set network type. If any ATT T9193 users find any other ways to tweak Android network settings in Froyo, perhaps one that can be accessed through the settings menu, please post it up.

Thanks to the devs working on the project, amazing progress in such little time!

This will give you my lame old first version.

It seems you have file corruption.

=> You need to download and hd2-ubuntu_v0.2.zip again and extract it. I also recommend formating the storage card before.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
during bootup and in all places where you can find links for the download, you are asked to read 'readme.txt' ....

there is no sound yet.

It is because the netbook launcher in karmic is only fast with opengl which we don't have. I'm looking into using the netbook-launcher-efl desktop in 0.3. it is fast.

Please see readme.txt . It asks you to not reboot but use the included Shutdown button on the desktop to bring down the system!

to use keyboard and mouse see here http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Msm_Usb_Host

thanks.

I am checking the options with mozilla flashplugins atm

I can look into adding chrome browser in 0.3

thats what i did but it came up with an error, will try again later. android boots fine so i will have another go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
I will have to give this a try. I was also wondering the same question about the 2 builds. Also did you notice that the network profile is set up a little different between the 2 builds (eclair and froyo)? Some of the values are different.

Finally nice to see someone else using a T9193 on ATT as there is no one else posting about it using Android. How is your MMS? I was able to receive an MMS 2 days ago but since then I can't receive or send. Matter of fact, an MMS I tried to send from my pc arrived to my phone over 12 hours later when using winmo. It was well after I switched to winmo. Just thought that was wierd. I know most can't send MMS messages no matter what carrier. But some using TMOUS say they can. Do you know if ATT has some special network profile for android?

Hi,

I'm using darkstones froyo 2.2 and try to move apps to sd card.

But although some apps already support the button to move them to sd card, I'm getting the error message that the transfer failed.

Any ideas?

Regards,

ChrisM
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ala380:
I'm not quite sure why you are trying to do this. The apps are already installed on the sd card. All apps are installed in the data.img file.

Would like to check this new froyo functionality. data.img is restricted in size.

file transfer in android

First of all let me thank the developers for a tremendous work (I'll also did the paypal do my talking). I've been using several builds for quite a time now, actually since first Parad0XUA froyo and now I'm just blown away by CM6.

I guess the main issue for me is the echo the other person hears on the other side. They tell me that after upgrading to miri's it got a little bit better but still very annoying.

The other thing i didn't see a lot of referencing here is to file transferring in android from pc. So i wanted to share this solution that worked for me:

de[dot]codeplex[dot]com or just google Droid Explorer

I was being able to connect, see and transfer files form win7 64 bit to leo running android.

If for some reason the moderators find this info useless or flooding, please feel free to remove it.

In any case, keep up the great work!

cm6-htc leo build is very good im using it for almost two days and part form mms, (bluetooth im not sure) and a small market place issue everything works just fine I didnt noticed any robotic voice or echo during that time ( im using ChuckyROM-23128-Tabtastic.Jul.23 with Radio_2.10.50.08_2 ) its fine for me

Where to put libgps in android ????
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thrower86:
Hmmm, I haven't tried any mms with android yet, but my sms works just fine. I'm running the latest Energy Titanium ROM with Radio 2.12.50.02. In trying to find set network type I fiddled around with the APN settings and noticed they were different from my WinMo settings, namely there wasn't a password, mmsc was an http and there was an mms proxy as well. I don't know if ATT has different settings for Android, but I rewrote them to my WinMo settings to try to get H to stick, but it didn't help any. Have you checked your APN settings against those in WinMo? I'm sure the regular APN settings are floating around XDA somewhere.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adelinobs:
follw the procedures on previous post copy libgps.so to root of sd card and open the terminal, follow the procedures as described (don't forget the spaces)

has anyone managed to get facebook to log in with the cyanogen/cm6 build? I already tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app but still getting the error: "A error had occurred during the sign in. Please try again later."

Any ideas??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
same issue the first time i tried. Then I moved everything in a folder as per the directions in the cm6 thread and started again from scratch. Now it works fine.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
Yes I have experimented with all possibilities. I use MediaNet for a APN on winmo. I removed the username, password, and proxy on winmo. The eclair build uses the same settings. But the froyo build has AT&T for APN and a different port for MMS. I know 80 is the same as 8080. But for some reason it filled it in differently. And there are other settings that are different between the 2. Just missing I mean.

They all should work. But it is wierd that they are filled in differently. I suspect that it is the android builds keeping the MMS from working. Something that they should be able to fix in later builds. Not that big of deal for right now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
huh? move which to folder? i did not see that lol... did you mean move the whole folder to Android of cm6-htcleo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] noellenchris:
cm6-htcleo folder. I didn't do that the first time and quite a bit didn't work that well. Also if the internet fix is not applied as per the directions facebook will time out due to the high MTU. CM6 is running excellent right now after I did it twice :). Now I'm just waiting for Cotulla to release some fixes to the GIT so we will be a few more steps closer to a "Base Line".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
i actually changed the cm6-htcleo folder to android to get droidboot to work. of course i changed the reference in startup.txt as well.

I think I installed the internet fix since I'm able to go 3g speeds.

can you send me link for internet fix, just wana make sure I have the same file.

thanks

Pleasant Surprise!

Thought I would post a little surprise I had after installing Darkstones Froyo.

I just installed it about 30 minutes ago using the same SD card I used in my G1. My G1 was rooted and I used Cyanogen 1.4 rom, which had apps2SD. On my SD card I had a 256mb ext2 partition for my apps. I guess since froyo has apps2SD built in, it is reading from the partition on my SD card because all of my old apps are on my HD2 now! Pretty cool.

Thanks Cyanogen, thanks SD card, thanks Darkstone

EDIT: My brain gears just started turning... what could the Devs do with this kind of info...

Not sure if you have tried it or not, but I have never had robot voice or anything but clear calls with my setup with all of the android builds I tried. I use the 2.10 radio and OzRom 4.40 WM6.5.5 rom. I don't ever uncheck automatic backlight control or disable sense in winmo, and it works great. I don't use an auto boot program, I just added clrcad and haret to my quicklinks. I find the android experience on the HD2 great. Currently I am using darkstone's FroYo build. The only thing I can't do is install Google Sky Map. Anyone know if this is a FroYo issue? I could install it with darkstone's eclair desire build with sense.

To install skymap go to your "settings" and select "sd card & phone storage" then "unmount storage card". Install skymap through marketplace and then go back and "Mount storage card"

Worked for me using Darkstone's froyo build. ;)

I am using the android version 5 with htc sense and the only problem i am having is installing the game N.O.V.A I install it and then launch the program and then it says it needs to download some stuff so i let it connect with me wifi and then it downloads and says download complete and tap on the screen. I tap on the screen and then it just exits out to the android home page.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Angela2797:
Ok, so I feel like I'm losing my mind here. I've tried several different builds and all have had some issues. Most recently I have loaded HTC Sense (HTC Desire base rom) v5 (21-July-2010), Miri's 6.5 V17 ROM, and 2.10.50.26 Radio (which is the Radio/ROM recommended on the HTC Sense HTC Desire base rom download page). I upgraded to this from the Energy ROM and 2.10.50 Radio because I noticed the annoying echo on the other end. I loaded Miri's and the radio because on the HTC Sense HTC Desire base rom download page it says they don't have an echo with the ROM/Radio version I downloaded. I read all 4 pages of search results that came up when I typed in "echo" but didn't really see a definite fix, I did see some mention of using the 7/23 zimage file not the 7/25 zimage- but I already have the 7/23 one. Does anyone have any suggestions as far as the echo on this build since what I currently have should not have the echo?

ETA: I rebooted my phone a few times and there seems to be less of an echo, so it's bearable- still open to all suggestions if anyone has any to solve the issue :+)

Also, I am SO grateful to even have Android running on my phone- thank you SO SO much to the amazing developers working to get this up and running for us!!

Hey as a question guys - I have been running and playing around with android - sure it runs pretty decent on the HD2 but do you honestly think it looks better or even is better than WinMo 6.5.5 with Sense? I dunno WinMo just seems more polished than Android.. It just seems less user friendly and less attractive... I haven't found anything Android can do that WinMo can't.. Look I could be wrong though...

I agree with you about windows sense on the HD2 it looks great and works great. My department at work is very tribal, we have numerous iphones, 2 desires and me with my winmo, but you can see them trying hard NOT to look impressed when I show them my phone running sense, the windscreen wipers on a rainy day are the bizz.

For me the only benefit of Android is access to far more software via the market with a number of very good apps being free.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sydneybelinda:
Yeah thats what I figured too - and I have the same thing die hard Android guys telling me my HD2 is **** because it runs windows mobile until they actually play with it lol... Funny thing is I have found more apps that I want for Windows Mobile than for Android - like Android doesn't even have TomTom... And at least most WinMo apps are free (Or are freely downloadable hehe ) I can see Android definately has pontential but I'm thinking its not really going to be fully cooked until v3 or v4 which is a shame because i love the idea behind it - but have been kinda disapointed by it at this stage - Its still better than iphone **** though..

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] darkt123:
probably a wee bit off topic, but i'll chime in with my 10 cents (in this economy, amiright?) anyway.

even with the buggy builds, the occasional need to hit the reset button, and maybe even having to try a different build -- i *still* use this version of android over winmo and will continue to do so. why? because i heard a song on the radio today, researched what app would allow me to identify it as it was playing, went to the android market and got said app, downloaded and installed AND started the app up not knowing how to use it and *still* identified the song.

on winmo? i mean really, to get any decent apps i had to go and download a secondary market just to get a better selection. sure i would have found it somewhere on the web as well. but then i would have had to download it via the browser hoping the internet connection stays solid because there's no such thing as reconnect and continue in winmo. then probably would have had to open the program that extracts it, close it, then find the program that allows me to search my folders, open and install it, then find the link to it so i could run it. all the while navigating through winmo's crazy awesome user interface which is totally not designed for a stylus at all and completely user friendly (thank *insert deity here* for NRG <-- <3) interface. and then, of course, hope it doesn't freeze or not do it's purpose or something weird like that.

yes you can do just about everything on both os's, but it's not about that. it's how well you can accomplish said things on the os. if you think of it like a home, how easy is it to find your keys if you have no real place for it? you know it's in your home but it may be deep within several piles of papers and pizza boxes and it'll take you an extra 10 minutes to find them. i don't know about you, but id much rather have a snappy house that zips and flies through each room and i know exactly where my keys are every time because i got one of those things you put next to your door so you can hang up your keys; that i downloaded from the house market that same day.

plus android is cooler.

can i get an amen... /rant over /back on topic /apologize for derailing.

I am using mattc's version of Froyo for 3 days now! It is the only build that lets me use Bluetooth headset in my car. For now it is doing almost everything I want. I had not to reset the phone even a single time. Sometime the phone is slow and unresponsive (maybe read/write operations), that's not fine but no Showstopper.

The battery drain in standby is the same as in Windows Mobile, around 1.5% per hour with Bluetooth, 3g and synchronization. Under load it seems to be even a little bit lower compared to wm 6.5!

The data connection over mobile network is annoying. I only get 100kbit/s down, with HSDPA, where I would get 3500 with wm6.5!

From my perspective that is what we really need next:

- better audio support with volume control and w/o noise/echo in Mic

- fix the mtu problem maybe using the ppp fix in git

- better responsiveness under load

Other things like lightsensor, keypad-led and so on would be nice, but can have time...

THX for the work done until today, keep up!
