[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namz:
I was clearing out my messages yesterday but by mistake I deleted all of them ,

Does anyone know of a way to recover messages? Are they in a trash area on the Andriod disk somewhere or some app that will recover them for me ?????
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
I'm fairly sure that unless you did a backup, they are gone.
[Captivate General] aphexacid:
So, will the captivate have HSUPA?? It says on the main page here on XDA, in the specs breakdown, next to HSUPA it says, NOT IN US.

I could have swore i read that it WILL have it?

I have an iphone 4, and have become accustomed to the crazy fast upload now, but i wanted to pick up the captivate to tinker with an android phone.
[Captivate General] s.m.knipe:
Everything I have read so far has said it is supported, but now that you mention it, what would be the difference, a certain frequency band I guess? Nothing I have read over thus far has said anything about a difference between countries (i.e. US and rest of world)...
[Captivate General] trinikartel:
Not sure if this is fast enough for you :D but unless AT&T massacred the radio in the Captivate you should experience speeds like.... http://twitpic.com/24a5ri

That's my Galaxy S in Orlando running solely off 1900MHz 3G.
[Captivate General] Balthazar B:
FWIW, this indicates HSUPA is supported, but I'd consider this a preliminary spec that needs to be confirmed after the Captivate is released and tested.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=2430&view=1&c=samsung_sgh-i897_galaxy_s_captivate_
[Captivate General] aphexacid:
Sweet, very nice.

Seriously, once you have HSUPA, you cant go back. Its like going back to edge.

I still think i'm going to hold out about a week or so after the device launches just to make sure of a few things that i need to have.

thanks fellas!
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Can we bring this back for discussion again?

From what I understand, when you are on HSUPA you will get an H in the status bar instead of 3G. Is anyone seeing this? So far I haven't seen this and speedtests have agreed that I haven't had HSUPA. I had an iphone 4 before and I know it was on HSUPA in the same area.
[Captivate General] trinikartel:
Yes. If you look at my picture posted here http://twitpic.com/24a5ri you will see the 'H' you are asking about in the statusbar.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
My phone says I'm on HSDPA but I only have the 3G icon on my screen. Do you only get the "H" when you have the high-speed upload? Seems a bit counter intuitive to me.
[Captivate General] trinikartel:
I've read somewhere awhile back that it fluctuates from showing 3G to HSDPA when it's active on data transfer and hits/detects the higher speed...don't hold me to that though. Maybe someone else can offer more insight into it but i've actively seen the icon switch from 3G to H with not interaction by me (background data i assume)
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Well that's weird. I'll have to play with it more tomorrow and see if I can figure out why mine won't jump on HSUPA.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Okay, so at my house, where I know I got HSUPA on the iPhone 4, I'm definitely not getting it now on the Captivate. I have a signal strength of -51 dB, so I know I have enough signal. I couldn't get much higher signal if I sat under the tower. I'm wondering if I have a problem on my phone since trinikartel got HSUPA just fine.

I'm new to Android, anyone know something to check for this?
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Well trinikartel said he was on a Galaxy S, not a Captivate. I'm thinking the US versions dont have HSUPA. I have another thread on here stating that I got 2457 down and only 174 up this morning. Also, I've never seen my 3G turn to an H.

Also, I dont know if it matters but on my 3G icon the down arrow is orange and the up arrow is green.
[Captivate General] GuestK0050:
I think you guys don't realize that AT&T's HSUPA is still broken. Don't you remember that whole upload fiasco? It affects the Captivate as it does the iPhone 4 and it hasn't been fixed in those markets (apparently most) where they use the Lucent equipment.

I used to get great HSUPA upload speeds on my AT&T banded N1 and the upload has not been fixed as uploads are still stuck at regular 3G < 300kbit speeds.

The Captivate undoubtedly supports HSUPA, but AT&T's network is still borked and as far as I can tell they have not rolled out any fix.

I have both the N1 and the Captivate.

The only other thing I can think of is if AT&T is turning off the HSUPA based on the phones IMEI or model number.

Just checked with an iPhone 4 friend, can not get over 200k -300l, so there is still a system wide HSUPA failure as far as my limited testing in my market is concerned.

Used to be 1.6mbit up quite regularly on the N1 or the iPhone4.

-James
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Oh, I didn't see him say that. That sucks. I really hope the Captivate didn't get crippled, but right now, there's no other explanation than that. I SHOULD have HSUPA right now, and I don't.

I never had an issue where I live. While everyone else was going slow, I was still doing 1200-1300 Kbps.

Edit: Looks like there's a good chance the Captivate WAS crippled. There's absolutely no mention of HSUPA in the manual at all. This REALLY sucks. I may consider returning the phone because of this and leaving AT&T.
[Captivate General] GLIMMERMAN76:
Its all 3g hsdpa/umts
[Captivate General] dsjr2006:
AT&T devices do not show the H like the International versions, they use 3G icon only to avoid confusion apparently.
[Captivate General] Joe777G:
Well on AT&T's site it says the iphone 4 has umts/hsdpa. I'm pretty positive that it has hsupa. So I don't believe AT&T's site is an accurate source of information for their own products.
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
I just put my sim card back in my ATT Tilt2. It DOES show H in Dallas, TX. As it has since I bought it. Captivate shows 3g. There IS a speed difference.
[Captivate General] jojorios:
I live in NYC and just ran a speed test. I'm getting 1.52 - 2mpbs down and .19mbps up. While my friend on his iphone 4 sitting right next to me is getting 3 mbps down and 1.8mbps up. This phone definitely slower. And when I tether the speeds go even slower. Is phone really crippled?
[Captivate General] Drachen:
I'm getting about the same right now (at night I can get 4M down). The thing is that I'm getting the same crappy upstream speeds with my Nexus One. Before the whole AT&T equipment ****-up in early July, I was getting ~1.5M up with my Nexus. Now I'm wondering if they crippled it for non-Apple devices.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Undoubtedly? Proof? Link? How do you know it does undoubtedly. I've searched the interwebs high and low for some kind of hardware spec that says this phone gets HSUPA and cannot find one.

I'm hoping it does, but I doubt that it does.
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
ATT has disabled 3.5G on some phones that support it, and it has never been at the hardware level. ATT almost always uses the 3G icon for it 3G and 3.5G technology.

Typically custom roms use the H for 3.5G so it is easy for us to tell what connection we are really getting. So if you are getting an H on a different ATT phone then you probably have a custom ROM or it is one of the few phones that actually shows 3.5G as an H.

I would say that if it is disabled that it is at the software level and once we get a base ROM, cooks will be more willing to make ROMs which will fix the issue.

Just my 0.02
[Captivate General] ruppert:
I thought I would add my observations. I had the iphone 4 and was getting upload speeds faster than 1mb even after AT&T's network supposedly crashed. Then I gave the iphone 4 to my wife and got the captivate. I ran a speed test on the captivate and was getting speeds less than 300kb. I started to get a little angry so I tested the iphone 4 again at the same place and same time. The iphone 4 is now getting less that 300kb upload also.

So, something has definitely happened to AT&T's network where I am (Arizona), and it didn't happen when the network troubles were first reported. So, I'm still going to believe that the captivate will be capable of HSUPA when the network is repaired.
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
Is there a map of coverage for HSUPA? I'm on Long Island in New York and my upload speeds are generally pretty garbage.

Download fluctuates from 100 kbps to 2.6mbps from what I've seen when I've run tests. It's all over the place, really. I experienced this on my Iphone 3GS and now on my new Captivate. The highest upload speed I saw with my very limited testing on speedtest.net app since Sunday was 500kbps, which is actually pretty fast for this area. I've never seen it go to H instead of 3G but I hadn't been paying much attention. I will now.
[Captivate General] :
Well find some proof that it doesn't.

From the hardware side, I really don't see why it wouldn't.

Several sites list the Galaxy S version has having HSUPA.

As for AT&T? I wouldn't put it past them to disable it in firmware.

According to the statement AT&T made upload it's Lucent/Upload troubles, it has disabled HSUPA in those markets, like mine, so there's no way I can test it.

My N1 did get 1.6Mbit up, and I hope as soon as some news comes in that AT&T has resolved the issue, that I can use my N1 and Captivate to benchmark something above 384k up.

-James
[Captivate General] AJerman:
I'm not sure where you're going to find proof that it doesn't have it. You could call up Samsung or AT&T and try to talk to an engineer, but I doubt that will happen. Being that its a feature that people would want and want to know about, and they'd want people to know about it, the lack of a mention anywhere in official documents and tests in markets whose HSUPA works fine like mine is proof enough.

Also, we have two active threads about this. Maybe a mod can merge them for us?
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Probably the best way to test this. Get am iPhone 4 and run a speed test in an area with working HSUPA. Do a speed test on the Captivate. Compare.

I think AT&T disabled HSUPA on the Captivate because if they didn't, I'd get higher than 350-400Kbps. If they are throttling speeds, I would see around 100Kbps.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
AT&T didn't disable HSUPA on my Nexus One (meaning they didn't muck with the actual phone, it was running CM6), but I'm getting the same upload speeds right now on my Captivate as I'm getting on my Nexus One after July 6 or so. Last month, I was getting >1Mbps upload speeds on the Nexus. After that time, I'm getting around 200kpbs.

To paraphrase Don Rumsfeld, here are the "known knowns" about the situation:

1. iPhone 4 devices are getting HSUPA upload speeds now.

2. No Captivate user has reported HSUPA upload speeds and the specs sheets are not conclusive that the device is HSUPA-compatible.

3. The International Galaxy S and the Vibrant support HSUPA.

3. Nexus One devices support HSUPA.

4. Nexus One devices in supported areas were getting HSUPA speeds until recently.

5. AT&T has acknowledged an issue as of July 6th with Alcatel/Lucent HSUPA equipment

It is not reasonable to conclude that:

1. It's only a Captivate issue (happens with my Nexus One)

2. HSDPA is completely screwed right now (iPhone 4 devices work)

3. AT&T is throttling non-iPhone users (I've seen upload speeds fluctuate as high as 350kbps and as low as 150 in my tests but they cluster around 200; there's no hard limit)

Until you and some others here claimed that iPhone 4 devices are now getting HSUPA speeds, I assumed it was just AT&T's equipment problems. Stories I've read about the equipment problems always mention the iPhone 4 as affected. I'll see if I can get some tests with some iPhone 4-owning friends this weekend or Monday and see if they're having the same issue as me.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
im in orlando too, cant get past 600kbs upload :( guess mine isnt jumpin up either.

just read through the thread. Im getting the impression that regardless if its hardware or how att is transmitting, we're still getting the shaft from them on this one.. and its not lubed :(.
[Captivate General] warri:
/agreed

Everyone Dont worry, i Doubt ATT has Throttled the Speeds on the Captivate, they just use the 3G Icon to avoid confusion
[Captivate General] trinikartel:
LOL! On the bright side...you have a wider coverage area for 3G than I do. 1900Mhz coverage only goes so far. I hit alot of no signal zones (including my house) for 3G on the i9000.

Just for kicks and giggles, try forcing 1900 3G only and see what kind of speeds you get.

*#*#197328640#*#* -> debug screen -> phone control -> network control -> band selection -> WCDMA -> 1900.

Remember to reset to automatic when done. Messing with any other settings in this menu is at your own risk.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Actually, I think I just found the proof we needed, and its good and bad news at the same time I think.

I didn't know about that command that trinikartel mentioned until now, but it had a lot of good debug info, and I found the screen that i've attached.

I think this is just data from the cell tower and what it supports, note the HSUPA, however, in status it shows me connected to HSDPA only. So assuming I'm correct that that is the tower info saying it supports HSUPA, that tells me that it can see HSUPA, but not connect, meaning it seems to be off in the software. So that could be a good sign for it being possible to enable in a custom ROM.

Or I could be completely wrong here. If anyone knows that debug info better, please let us know.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
I really hope this is the case because then we would be able to fix this situation AT&T has put us in. lets hope for the best and wait for those roms to start cooking!
[Captivate General] :
AT&T rolling out HSUPA fix, should be able to test Captivate soon.

http://www.macrumors.com/2010/07/26/atandt-to-fix-iphone-4-upload-speed-issues-over-next-2-3-weeks/

I'll be comparing the Cativate to my N1 as soon as I notice my N1 and iPhone4 users have got their upload speeds back to see if the captivate follows suit.

-James
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Can anyone actually even see the picture I attached in my previous comment? I attached it using the app on my phone, but it doesn't look like you can even click it and expand it. Here's another I just took of the same screen:
[Captivate General] :
I see it. Do a speedtest.net test please, with a server close to you and screen shot that one.

-James
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Funny how such a seemingly simple request just isn't. Even though the GPS is ****, AGPS should at least get nearby which would be more than close enough, and it does in Maps, however, the Speedtest app is screwed up.

Not only does it give me a list of servers starting with one that's 792.56 miles away, but that server is actually, even still, only 583 miles away.

Never the less, here's a screenshot from my 600 mile away server. Funny thing is though, this is the fastest upload speed I've ever seen on the Captivate.
[Captivate General] :
If a captivate is not HSUPA, then it should not be possible to get over 384k. It would be nice to get some other people with the confirmed HSUPA: 1 to try this out.

Also, your ping is real damn low, so I'm in favor of saying Captivate = HSUPA.

I haven't had any issues with GPS really. Not as good indoors as N1, but still real decent.

EDIT: I played with a vibrant today, it got 1.3Mbit up... so that one is at least HSUPA. I can understand why this isn't advertised as users associate speed with download more than upload.

-James
[Captivate General] AJerman:
I question that test since no other test has gotten that high. Every other has been solidly in the 300s. I'm downloading other speed test apps that hopefully dont suck to try instead, but I know that sitting in the very spot that I'm sitting I got HSUPA every time I tested my iPhone 4's speed.

Edit: The FCC test is the same thing as the Speedtest.net version, so it does the same thing. I'm not quite sure where it thinks I am since it gives me servers from Washington State to Atlanta, GA. And then they all keep crashing. But that's ok, my battery has been sucked dry with minimal use since about noon. I sure am glad I paid $200 for a phone that doesn't work!
[Captivate General] systoxity:
i hit around 500 - 600 consistently... but i alwasy get around 600-900 ping. how the f did you get 120. makes me think its wifi, but thats unlikely. you must be in a sweet spot lol.
[Captivate General] lilo777:
I think that whilst speed test results may vary depending on connection and other factors, they can not produce the results the phone is not capable of. Combined with the fact that the specs for both Vibrant and Captivate miss HSUPA on Samsung web site and yet people clearly were able to get upload speeds on their Vibrant phones that can only be achieved with HSUPA, we have a very good chance that Captivate has HSUPA too.
[Captivate General] :
There is the theory that AT&T has crippled the firmware.

Their latest press release says that the iPhone 4 is the only HSUPA smartphone on their network. Well the N1 is HSUPA but I guess they don't count it since they don't sell it.

The old G1's didn't have HSUPA turned on initially, and once rooted, HSUPA was eventually added to a property file.

-James
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I dont think thats necessarily true. I think the only areas that AT&T uses other frequencies for 3G are the brand new stuff they just built out in SanFran and in NYC. Everywhere else I'm pretty sure its only 1900 for 3G.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Obviously the Galaxy S hardware will support HSUPA. The intl version and the vibrant have already confirmed that. I think AT&T had Samsung disable HSUPA in the drivers or some db setting somewhere. Obviously Samsung wouldnt build the phone with a different chip in it just to do away with HSUPA. Hopefully with a non-AT&T ROM it will be able to be turned back on. I have a feeling this has something to do with Apple forcing AT&T to turn it off so that the iphone4 would be the only official AT&T phone to get it. Or either AT&T just turned it off so as to not overload their pathetic network. Either way, it sucks for us.

The upload speeds I have gotten are: 345, 166, 367, 286, 324, 174, and 112. My download speeds are decent. Ranging from a high of 2457 (early in the AM) to 1300 (during peak work hours in the middle of the day) so downloading isnt so bad.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Thats what I'm hoping happens for the Captivate. Would be great to get HSUPA speeds for uploading pics to facebook or MMS and uploading some vids to youtube.
[Captivate General] jhannaman82:
My speeds over 3G with an unmodified captivate using the SpeedTest.Net app fromt he market:

Download: 1656 kbps

Upload: 431 kbps

Latency: 292 ms

4 bars

Last night the DL speed was 3600 kbps!
[Captivate General] Simba501:
I have similar speeds...though, slower upload
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
It's got to be a software thing. My old AT&T Tilt was HSUPA capable and when I installed some software I was able to enable it. The Tilt is over 3 years old at this point, it would be stupid to put a worse radio in a newer phone.
[Captivate General] lilo777:
Well, as I understand, with UMTS maximum upload speed is 384K (link)

The fact that you got 431kbps indicates that Captivate does have HSUPA.
[Captivate General] lilo777:
Captivate does have HSUPA

I found this thread. Unless people are lying, Captivate gets upload speeds above 1mbps which is only feasible with HSUPA.

Well, it is also possible that some people use WiFi and do not realize it ;)
[Captivate General] trinikartel:
Went to the AT&T store and used only 850 3G and got full bars on the Captivate. Switched to 1900 and got 1 bar if i held it juuuussssst right. Had my i9000 right next to it and got 1 bar on 1900. I know they did an upgrade in Orlando area over the past year (got a sms from at&t stating that on my 3GS back then) and my signal at home did indeed improve alot so I assumed they added the 850 here as well
[Captivate General] AJerman:
As much as I want to hope that it has HSUPA, the fact that the very spot I'm sitting right now got 1200-1300 consistently on an iPhone 4, and then the next day when I test with the Captivate, all the way up to now, I get 300-400 Kbps makes me doubt what seemingly one or two people have said.

I want to see HSUPA as much, if not more than the next guy, but the bottom line is, regardless of why, I'm not getting HSUPA speeds now, and I always did with the iPhone 4. Read into that how you will, but I've done a LOT of speed tests, even some where the speedtest app was nice and let me pick a nearby server, and only once has it shown anything over 400 Kbps.

I'm going to do a factory restore tomorrow to see if I can get rid of the countless other problems I have, so we'll see what that does.
[Captivate General] nerdgenius:
Im consistently getting Download speeds between 2500kbps to 3200kbps as for upload I haven't seen it go over 384kbps yet and I took a few dozen speed test. I live in Louisiana and the closest server was Houston, TX.
[Captivate General] jakirkla:
I've consistently gotten speedtest results in the 300 kbs upload range, but

I've consistently gotten speedtest results in the 300 kbs upload range, but have occasionally gotten over 700 and once or twice gotten over 1,000. This has convinced me that AT&T is trying their best to cap uploads here in Atlanta based upon overall traffic load on the network possibly.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I dont think the Captivate has HSUPA enabled in its software. I'm sure the hardware chip will support it, as the Vibrant and the Intl version do HSUPA fine. This is a direct quote from AT&T yesterday

They clearly state that the only smartphone that uses HSUPA is the new iphone4.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Yeah, I think the rare tests over 400 are just glitches in the app. Can someone with a phone that DOES support HSUPA verify that in the Status page of the settings it will say "HSUPA" rather than "HSDPA" for network type?
[Captivate General] lilo777:
HSUPA is not a replacement for HSDPA. As I understand HSDPA refers to download protocols whereas HSUPA refers to upload. Most likely this field in status displays download protocol.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
I understand that, but I still have reason to believe, after reading source code even, that that field may change to say HSUPA if you have an HSUPA connection, which is why I asked the question. I would expect you don't HAVE to have HSDPA to have HSUPA, however, HSUPA upgrades have taken place after HSDPA upgrades, and typically are considered the next evolution in WCDMA technology, so I'm curious if the field stays as HSDPA or changes to HSUPA when that's present.

Actually, it would be more proper to say HSPA once both HSDPA and HSUPA are present, and perhaps it does say that too, but I didn't remember seeing that where I was reading the other day, and I don't recall what code I was reading to go back and look now.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
No HSUPA

I just had a few iPhone 4-owning friends try speedtest.net in Flatiron in Manhattan. They seem to be back up to 700k - 1M upload speeds but I'm stuck at <256k on the Captivate. Looks like the Captivate doesn't have HSUPA enabled. After hearing that the Vibrant can use AT&T WCDMA Band II, the Captivate seems pretty lame.

I won't be able to test this until later tonight, but has anyone tried putting the line "ro.ril.hsxpa=2" in the /system/build.prop file?
[Captivate General] lilo777:
How did your download speed compared to iPhone? Maybe it's a problem with GPS ;) When I use SpeedTest I often get servers which are located very far from me.
