Manhattan has a different problem. You could have a tower on every other block, and still have dead-spots because of crazy stuff like what kind of plumbing lines are in the building next to you, or the fact that they have tin ceilings, and so on. Walk around a corner in NYC and watch your signal bar bounce around as you get line of site to a tower. Then *poof* it's gone again.

Yess and it frickn sucks. That the further from the city the more speed I get?

Posted on my T-mobile G(spot)2 xD
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Depends on where im at

I was up in Yorba Linda California Friday and did a speed test. got 8.01Mbps on download and 1.25Mbps upload. Cant wait for the rest of the system to upgrade.:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] DJ ELITE:
My speed increased a small bit after purchasing my G2 (as seen in my signature).

i've hit 3Mbps, but it seemed to have been a lucky break more than anything. :rolleyes:

but man... Kunia? awesome "line of sight." no wonder u got good speeds. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] minotauri:
i've gotten between 2-3mbps and max tested of 7.8mbps in the Seattle area. I live in the north end (Lynnwood) and that's where i'm getting between 2-4mbps, where as the city center is around 5-7mbps. in the south seattle area where I work, I get 2-4mbps again.

Haven't tried testing it too much on the east side of the city where TMO HQ is. i'd hope its fast there. :)

my upload speeds have hovered in the 1-2mbps range with mode (the stats word) right around 1.6mbps.

i'm pretty satisfied with it. i never got up to 7-8mbps with the N1 so there's an upgrade in this arena.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jakemall:
So I'm sitting at work (los angeles area) looking at my phone that is showing edge network only. So I decide to find out just how slow edge network is...

So I speed test it.

7 mbps down

1 mbps up

I'm thinking that my phone is getting the HSPA+ but not showing that it's connected.
[G2 and Desire Z General] yowzator:
Portland, Oregon suburbs

At my home in Tualatin, Oregon I've tested numerous times and reliably get around 2mbps down and 0.6mbps up.

I was in Lake Oswego, Oregon yesterday and tested it a couple times and got between 3.4 and 4.8mbps down and 0.6mbps up.

I'll be doing more tests in the area, such as Beaverton and Portland when I have a chance, and post additional results.

These were done using the SpeedTest.Net app.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. Wish I was seeing the 7mbps + that others see, but oh well.

can anybody explain why there's a difference? i DL'ed the SpeedTest.Net app from the market, but i don't see any way to get an image link.

any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
To get an image link you go into results and then select an individual result. It will give you an obnoxious amount of details including longitude and latitude for your location when you did the test. Hit menu then email yourself the result. In the email will be a link.

The email comes across like so:

[G2 and Desire Z General] funkeee:
HSPA (HSPDA + HSUPA) towers have a capability of 14Mbps, which is the theoretical max of the G2. However, most HSPA towers run at lower throughputs, varying from 2Mbps to 14, with various stops in between.

HSPA+ has throughput of up to 54Mbps, but similarly do not transmit at such speeds. When in an HSPA+ cell, you may still download at HSDPA speeds. This is what accounts for the wide range of speeds you guys encounter.

Yes, getting ~2-3Mbps in the area.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
You're misinformed. HSPA+ runs a theoretical maximum of 21Mbps currently on tmo towers and will broaden next year to 42Mbps. The theoretical maximum on the G2 is 14.4 as you noted, but will virtually never happen in real world scenarios.

What accounts for the varying HSPA+ speeds are a combination of varying factors - mainly those of the amount of backhaul in an area and how congested the zone is. Also, HSPA+ isn't rolled out enmasse like HSDPA/UMTS services were, it goes tower by tower - a much more tedious and slower process.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Blue1k:
I just ran a speed test and I got 6.2 Mbps down and 2.3 Mbps up! Running on Telus HSPA network.

The highest I've gotten is 9 down. I'm very happy with my coverage since my DSL only gets around 2down and less than 1up at home.

at school I only get 3-5 and I've never really tested it anywhere else in the Houston area, anyone know what kind of speeds you get in downtown Houston?

[Nexus One General] bsktballstar3131:
I just got a nexus one last night. it was previously used on ATT and now i'm using it on TMobile. I noticed right away that it would not connect to 3G, only 2G. today I rooted it via rageagainstthecage and adb because it was already updated to 2.2.1. I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and what can I do to fix it? Do I need to fix the radio or what? The specs of my nexus one are as follows:

Version: 2.2.1

Baseband Version: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320 android-build(at)apa26 #1

Build Number: FRG83

I experienced these issues even before rooting. I really appreciate any help.
[Nexus One General] braingravyuk:
Hi,

When I upgraded to Froyo on my N1 I didn't have any 3G, turned out 3G was disabled, I re-enabled it by going to the phone dialler and type in *#*#info#*#*, go to phone information and scroll down to the bottom, should be set to WCDMA preferred.

Something to think about as well, I recently upgraded to 5.08 radio since 3G was very patchy since moving to Froyo, works amazingly well for me, seems hit and miss for people but well worth a try at least.
[Nexus One General] bsktballstar3131:
how do i upgrade to that radio and will that work in the US?

also, i did the dialer thing and it is on that preferred one already, is there anything else i can do? or should i change it from that preferred one?
[Nexus One General] braingravyuk:
You can grab the radio from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723839

It will work for all Nexus Ones, make sure you have your phone fully charged before you do this as a failure while flashing will brick your phone. There is a couple of ways to flash it. I used fastboot, you just extract the zip file which contains radio.img, then do the following command, fastboot flash radio radio.img
[Nexus One General] fredz024:
ATT and TMO use different 3G frequencies in the US (1700 AWS for TMO). An ATT N1 can't use TMO's 3G and vice versa.
[Nexus One General] bsktballstar3131:
thanks, and i can do this without having a custom recovery? just use adb? and do i literally just type "fastboot flash radio radio.img" after going into cmd? sorry for all the questions, I just wanna make sure i don't mess anything up
[Nexus One General] bsktballstar3131:
the N1 was unlocked but was used for ATT, is there something I need to do to change it to TMO frequency if that's the case?
[Nexus One General] pwig:
It is hardware. Unfortunately it's impossible.
[Nexus One General] fredz024:
Right, it's hardware, not firmware. You need a TMO-specific N1.
[Nexus One General] bsktballstar3131:
great...so will upgrading the radio do anything for me? and if so, do i extract the radio.img to the sdcard or to sdk tools folder?
[Nexus One General] braingravyuk:
Oops, sorry - forgot ATT and T-Mobile run different frequencies, you won't be able to do anything about it.
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
no

it's hardware. you can only get 3g FROM tmo on a tmo frequency phone, and only get 3g FROM ATT on a att frequency phone. ... see ?

if you're using att, they're going to slam you with a $30/month fee for smartphones too ;-)
[Nexus One General] nexusdue:
You should be able to trade the phone - the at&t 3G version is no longer on sale, so it is much harder to get than the TMUS version ... you should easily be able to sell it/trade it for a TMUS version.

I would like to know as well. I have a bricked no-3button phone. I can purchase the JTag box in Thailand (where I live) for around $130 USD. I would expect to brick my phone again and this seems like a good value for being able to resolve issues myself with out having to wait.

But does it actually work? Can someone confirm?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mike.sw:
there's already one big thread about it. it is working but requires some expert soldering work to connect the riffbox to the phone. search it up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stephengoo:
I can confirm this, sure! My phone was fully bricked and I used Riff Jtag (must say it's a magic box) to rescued it successfully.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] j0rd:
Alright, so it's a hardware thing. I better exhaust all other options first then. I'm not about ready to break apart my phone and start soldering quite yet.

Thanks for the tips guys.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
the riff box is a scam, perpetrated by people that want to get rich quick. i have worked with jtag ports before, and i always just used a parallel-port/usb cable, some resistors/diodes, and soldered straight to the board. a $130-$150 box that merely changes the resistances of the wires is not worth it imo. i would rather bring my phone back to bell for free than pay the makers of the riff box.

Unless I'm mistaken, any 720p-enabled kernel is designed to be used with a ROM written to support that capability - the stock FRF91 build does not support such a creature. Maybe try one of the non-720p kernels?

what it will do is enable it so you can move ALL apps to sd card...even those that dont let you...just keep in mind not all apps will work from the sd card. but you dont lose anything by trying.

i've moved large files like NFS Shift and other games that dont normally have the move option, and they work just fine. same thing for the fascinate lwps that you flash, etc.

try it out:D

install move2sd enabler, run it and click i've read, next, and set it to external. click ok. then you move the apps through the Application Management part of the Settings:D

So here it is .

[Nexus One Accessories] cmarti:
The only thing I don't like and it's not the cover fault is that if the phone ever freezes you need to take the cover apart in order to remove the battery; because there is no physical reset button on the phone.

Again it's not a cover flaw more like a phone flaw.

(On the iPhone you can press home and power button and it resets)

If I didn't have the OEM desktop dock and car dock I'd probably get that. I have the Seidio innocase which is pretty easy to take off and put back on. I'd be hating life if I had to take that defender off when I got in the car. The clip is cool if you use the phone while working out or running. HTC is selling cases and a holder for the N1 now too.

I use the Garmin holder but didn't need to incorporate the OB holster.

This was originally done to fit my Samsung Captivate with a Body Glove case.

Slight modifications made it work for the N1 with the Otterbox Defender.

I got this Garmin holder of Ebay for like $4 shipped (got 2 for $8 since it was cheap).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170551993587

Since the Garmin is much bigger than most phones all you have to do is use a heat gun or any heat source to heat up the two end and mold it to the phone's shape.

2nd back side

3rd mount on dash

4th mount on windshield (use for dash cam)
