Tmobile HSPA+ & HD2

Houston now has the HSPA+ and I am getting 26,886.6 Kbps using Mobile Speed Test.com on my HD2. I love going to the local kiosk in the mall and smoking the 4G Sprint phones for Internet connections and speed.

Over the course of this topic several "experts " have offered a very consistent version of the story and it seems to click I buy it. But AT&T users just flame what is cleary a TMO topic. Get a f***ing life. Also, can the last att poster please acknowledge that his screenshot showed faster average tmo speeds. I mean, another user just said it in a rational but longer way so here's the short version: you suck @ trolling.

So, to people who aren't dicks and actually know, is there any way to accurately gauge speed?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DJGurth:
tether

if you tether your phone via the usb cable to a laptop then run a speed test on different sites then average them, this must be the best way possible surly ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Fmstrat:
What ROMs/radios/kernels are people running to attain these speeds? I'm using the original stock Tmo WM Rom with a 2.12 radio and Mattc's EvoLeo 1.0.1 with hastarin's kernel (7) in Raleigh/Durham (newly deployed HSPA+ area) and still getting the same speeds, which is less than 1 Mbit up and down.

I should note my Nexus One with 3G icon showing gets about the same speeds.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] berrywr:
Let me tell you what's even stupider; these are theoretical maximums, not real world. Over and over and over T-Mobile has been consistently faster than all providers with some exceptions and they are if you live in the woods and in that case Verizon Wireless' EVO beats the snot off T-Mobile's EDGE. All of this is mute if you do not live where the service is and if you're T-Mobile it sure won't matter. I get a kick out of faster and faster data speeds and less and less data with each update of their data plans. I'm waiting for the day they charge us to use our Wi-Fi connections via our home internet service.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dimension2035:
Wow you guys have amazing speeds. Unfortunately I don't. About 2 and a half weeks ago I lost 3G Coverage for 1 day. I used to get over 3Mpbs. When It came back on, it was very slow. I would get a min of 0.06 Mbps And maximum of 0.87Mbps. Upload speed would always be over 1Mbps.

I called T-mobile to fix the problem, and they sent out a crew to take a look. I called them back 3 days later because I was still experiencing the same problem. They said that there was an issue and it has been fixed, but my phone was still the same. Same day they sent a crew again to take a look. Called them about 4 days later which is today and they said that no problems were found. So again they sent another crew to take a look around my street. If its not fixed Im gonna give up and just wait it out.

For some strange reason when I go 2 blocks away from my home I get a 5Mbps connection. the thing is that when I look out my window the towers are right there about 1 and a half blocks away. I always have a 3G/H connection no matter where I am in my house with all 4 bars.

I have tried everything from flashing stock roms and radio, nothing helps.

4G on the Tmobile HD2

Is there a way to get the 4g network speeds on the hd2. Do you have the tweak the APN settings, if so, can someone point me in the right direction?

With android i get "H" but with normal winmo i dont :(

I was getting 1633 kbps. I dont know how you guys are breaking 2500, lol. craziness
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] secano:
Max I've had is 4500kbps down 1700kbps up. It all depends where in the city I'm at.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] slackersink:
Tried it in android using the speedtest.com app. I have about 700 downloading but 1200 uploading. Weird, because that's more than I ever got in winmo. And when I tether in winmo, I get like 20k down and I don't even bother trying to upload anything. :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Phenomenon:
I think this thread never got a CLEAR answer and I feel it should be said that there is no way the HD2 has (or can) have 4G. Tmobile came out with the G2 with hardware capable of using 4G. No other device before that ever came out that supported 4G. I know some of you say you are using these "speed test" sites, but I find them to be incredibly inaccurate. I've done these tests multiple times with Windows Mobile AND Android and can get such different values all the time (some spectacular others disappointing). I think it's worth stating that 4G is HARDWARE related. It doesn't matter what these test sites are saying. Unless someone here has some sort of hardware hack they did to allow for 4G connection then there is absolutely no way the HD2 will have 4G.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
This is like comparing apples and oranges and even more difficult is when T-mobile calls their orange a grapefruit.

First off there is no true 4G carrier or cellphone in the USA at the moment. That's right. Not even sprint has a true 4G network. But since we are speaking of GSM and not CDMA at the moment we will only speak of T-mobile and ATT.

T-mobile calls their new network 4G. This is a scam. It is actually as many have mentioned HSPA+ or if you want 3.75G.

Both ATT and T-mobile have 3.5G or HSPA well established across the USA. Yes ATT claims to be the faster network. Well in fact it is the truth. But it is on the average. ATT has a much greater network of 3.5G than T-mobile has. Both carriers have maps available if you need to look for yourself.

Now lets speak of T-mobile's scam which they call 4G. I think we have established by now that it is not 4G but 3.75G or HSPA+. T-Mobile presently rolled outdoors HSPA+ in about 75 cities as well as will expand to 100 cities by end of 2010. That's 100 cities. Across the USA that does not amount to a whole hell of alot. In November 2010, ATT claimed to have rolled outdoors HSPA+ to 80% of its network, however it has no HSPA+ phones provided. So in fact ATT does have the much faster network across the US as a whole just not accessable yet by cellphone. They have just not boasted falsely about being 4G like T-mobile has to sell their T-Mobile G2 and HTC MyTouch 4G. But I am sure when their coveted i-fart phone is the first to achieve 3.75G they will also advertise the same way.

So what does this have to do with the HD2. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The HD2 is niether HSPA+ or 4G compliant. HTC has said it themselves. The HD2 is a class 8 device and capable of up to 7.2 Mbps download speed and up to 2 Mbps upload speed on 3G. Which infact should have been stated 3.5G/HSPA. And this means absolutely nothing if your area is capped at a lower speed. I have a T9193 on ATT and have hit download speeds of over 4000kbps in certain areas using speedtest.net. And other areas I have not even come close. Also if tests are done through opera and their proxy or your carrier uses a proxy in your APN then the result is most likely inaccurate.

So yes if you run a speedtest on a TMOUS HD2 in one of its selected cities and the actual hosted server is in the same city you will get a nice high speed. But those cities are far and few in between across the USA. You have a much better chance just keeping service if you are on ATT.

And my opinion is not biased. I would much rather have T-mobile service which is cheaper and a much better phone selection. But their coverage area is not close to ATT's and when t-mobile says right on their site for 99% of their service area they suggest you have to go outside to make a call.......forget that.

All craziness cuz my data speeds suck. I live in downtown Seattle andno matter where I go, I only get 1500 down 500 - 600 up. I've never gone past the 1000 upload mark.

My cable internet is giving my phone 16,000 down and won't do the up test

I need to go to the TMO store and see what the G2 is getting and also load Android on their HD2 display LOL :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] aortega:
What I did read in all of these threads about this, is that HTC HD2 is a real monster with its phenomenal hardware, but it is not ready to work over 4G, why don't download from android market something like Quadrant Standard, its free, so you can check the speed of your web
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GTRACER88:
??? What are you smoking? :p Quadrant standard is a phone bench mark app that test your phone's hardware performance (I/O, Memory, CPU, 2d and 3d Graphics). Not internet speed.

up late and playing around with some mods I've done to my old hd2 v1 and this is the true skinny until you do a hardware mod it will never happen i tried even using guts from a sensation and it still doesn't achieve true 4g has to do with the system board chipset witch can't be change but my other hd2 v2 still smokes most the new phone out on both wp7 and ICS I even get really good download speeds old phone with ubuntu ;)

Hello Peeps

I'm gunna b going to the island Antigua soon in January and would like to know if there's anyone out there that can flash an EVO 4G so I can use my phone while im in the islands. FYI: im gunna b there for quite sum time in case ur wondering

P.S. Also I heard there's a service called lime that's offered there i know this is a cdma fone and that only GSM phones work there I'm not retarded, I'm also aware that CDMA fones are no good there but I would pay u if u can find me a way , like I always say when there's a will there's always a dam way.

(DAM EVO 4G Y WON'T U WORK WITH MY DAM WII REMOTE STUPID BLUETOOTH STACK)
[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
You answered your own question. CDMA phones are no good there. There is no way around that.

On a side note, PLEASE use punctuation and spelling correctly. It doesn't make you look very bright when you talk like that. It could be just me, but I find stuff like that REALLY annoying. ._.
[EVO 4G General] mizzos4:
Instead of paying someone for a solution that won't appear anytime soon, why don't you just spend that money on a gsm phone and buy the sim cards for service over there? Is it the 4G service that you want or the wifi tethering you were hoping to utilize?
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
+1 (ten more)
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
When I went to Antigua this year I bought an unlocked Blackberry and took it down with me. Just buy a prepaid sim while down there. I was there for 2 weeks so I don't know if you will find it worth your while.
[EVO 4G General] jkinnison90:
And about you Wii remount question, CyanogenMod 6 will find it.
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
Do a search for a VOIP solution in these forums. I remember reading where someone went to Belize and was able to mod their EVO to work there. Similar situation to yours.

To the lame people who commented that it's impossible: Advancement is only made when it is believed that there is an answer and that is possible. Then you have to keep searching until you find that answer. Don't expect it to be handed to you. Saying something is impossible without trying is just plain lazy. Let go of your mother's tit!
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
I always use brightroam.com whenever I go overseas.

You can rent everything and have a blackberry or cheapo phone already setup to use over there. It's signficantly cheaper then getting service when you arrive. They mail you the phone, you set it up and take it with you. Plus you can always google coupon codes w/ them. "15AEREWARD" gets you $15 off.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Even with VOIP he's regulated to only WiFi which is a pretty shoddy solution. But hey, that might be good enough for him.

As far as saying it's lame to think it's impossible, unless you open the EVO and physically change the radio, and then update the software to reflect that change, it is. So sure it's not 100% impossible, just impracticable and almost impossible. But hey, now I know who to go to when I want my XBox 360 to play PS3 games.
[EVO 4G General] ualeem:
Lol @ thetakara yea it may be annoying but dis ain't no english class, @ sombdy I like ur enthusiasm im behind u 100%, lmao let go of ur mother's tit lol, i'll look into dat website rutter09. as for bb...yea blackberries not my thing but mite as well go 4 a gsm fone
[EVO 4G General] fitz62:
that has got to be the dumbest response i've ever seen.. str8 up its impossible, regardless of how lazy you think ppl are.. it was an easy call.. its the very reason u havent seen iphones on the verizon network.. its not possible. we're talking two diff technologies (cdma vs gsm) in antigua, all cell companies are gsm..
[EVO 4G General] sombdy:
So don't pursue running cdma on a gsm network. You can run a VOIP hack. That has been done. The point is I see people respond frequently with "that's not possible" when the truth is they just don't know the answer. People are hacking their phones to run on Verizon and boost mobile. What if people had said "that's impossible" before someone found the answer? Pretty dumb.

The point of my post was that it is not constructive to say that it is impossible. The reason for these forums is to help each other find the answers we need.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
lol......that's a funny and accurate analogy.
[EVO 4G General] freak4dell:
Considering your grammar errors and complete arrogance when called out on those errors, I sincerely hope your reasoning for going to Antigua for an extended period of time is not for the purpose of attending medical school.

Hi,

First I am new to this forum and new to HTC world.I have a HTC tilt 8925 phone.

Actually its not a brand new one.Have used 28 hours.Anyways the battery going down very frequently :(

I got that from one of my friend.He was telling me that he was using it at least 1 and half days.

But I cannot use it even half of the day.I have turned off 3G using bandswitch application.then I seems to be ok for some times but suddenly turn off the device.I have to connect to the charger and turn on the phone again.

Is that something with battery?? or with my device??

Any Ideas

Thanks in advanced

[G1 Apps and Games] Dukenukemx:
I can't get any sound out of the game, and even if I enable sound it can cause the app to crash. I'm also getting 0 fps.

I've seen videos of other G1 owners playing Kwaak3, at decent frame rates too. Is it because I'm using CM 6.0?
[G1 Apps and Games] AdrianK:
I have no idea about the game, but if you want your phone to be fast to begin with it's a good idea to ditch CM.
[G1 Apps and Games] Dukenukemx:
I enabled JIT and it's much better. Still no sound. What's wrong with using a Cyanogen rom?
[G1 Apps and Games] AdrianK:
Interesting...

It's just filled with bloat. After switching to a regular AOSP ROM without CM kernel my phone feels a lot more responsive, and never reboots by itself.
[G1 Apps and Games] Dukenukemx:
The CM 6.0 doesn't reboot on its own, anymore. I got 0 fps in Kwaak3 without JIT, and with JIT I get 8-12 fps. I have a CM based rom on my Kaiser, and it can't ever seem to run Kwaak3 with sound either.

Has anyone ever got sound working with CM and Kwaak3?
[General Questions and Answers] neato4u:
Dear devs and the peoples of XDA,

I've searched in XDA about my issue but

unfortunately there have been no answers as of yet

. So hopefully my post here is looked at and I appreciate if someone is able to shed some light into this.

First of all, I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 professional (touchscreen) phone (Samsung i780) and subscribed to an unlimited data / internet plan. Surfing the internet using the phone is fine (eg. 4 hours straight) - so here is the issue :

When I connect my phone via USB to a computer running WinXP using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) - it connects without any issues and I am able to surf the internet.

However, after a few minutes, I get a 'page not found' error and upon double clicking the network icon beside system tray clock, I noticed that it 'hangs' or become unresponsive.

So I had to disconnect ICS via phone, then connect it back to re-establish connection.

This bothers me because I can't download any large files as the connection will 'hang' and (unfortunately) the server does not support resume functionality.

Ok and here's what I have done to troubleshoot :

From the phone side : I've done 'hard-reset' and straight connect to ICS via USB. I am using the standard ROM that comes with the phone when I first bought. The result : Issue persists.

From PC side : I have not formatted my PC yet, however i have created another user account to connect to ICS. The result : Issue persists.

Now to troubleshoot, I've switched my SIM to another WM phone (Omnia i8000), using another USB data cable. Still trying to see if I am able to replicate the issue. However I would appreciate your comments or suggestions or (ultimately!) a solution for this issue.

Thanks! :D

Kies Won't Connect for GPS Fix - "PC Connection Only Available in Idle Screen"

Howdy folks,

Curious about the Kies firmware update with the GPS et al fix. Before I risk it, and perhaps not wait for TMobile OTA (whenever that may be), I want to connect via Kies (turned on that option from USB per thread on this), however I get the "PC only available in idle screen close running applications and try again" or something to that effect. I have killed all tasks, but do I need to kill Launcher Pro to get it to recognize the device for the firmware update or how do I get it to that condition?

I soft bricked this a long time ago but restored, recovered using this advice:

http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/

And those PIT and Tmobile stock image. Since then I have rooted and the OCLF and things are /have been working fine, (other than I can't get the OTA updates option because it says it can't initialize).

How can I get KIES to recognize this device by getting to the idle condition and should I? :-)

Thanks for any assistance, I did search the threads and believe maybe it's Launcher Pro but want to be sure.

Thanks!

I have a lot of ringtones on my phone, and for whatever reason I change them all the time, am constantly adding new ones, etc. etc.

Everytime I do so having to scroll through the whole horrible list of sounds I would never allow to come out of my phone is a bit annoying, so I was trying to think of a way to get them to all at least stack at the top.

Apparently the Android OS attempts to outsmart dumb people by removing underscores, and ignoring periods for the purposes of ringtones. Fortunately starting all filenames with a zero still works.

This, however is a bit obnoxious, and I was just wondering if anybody had suggestions as to characters I can prefix the filenames with that the phone will not filter out, and display at the top of the ringtones list

OR

any other ideas on "solving" the matter
