[Hero, G2 Touch General] CRCinAU:
holy ****!

I have been arguing with HTC Singapore, Australia and America for 7 weeks now and I'm starting to wish I had taken more appropriate notes like yours.

Today Mr Fedex turned up with a waybill to ship my Touch Pro 2 back to HTC Singapore (for the second time) for repair. HTC will screw you if you let them.

It took a day or arguing with them to make them honour their warranty statement and get them to pay for shipping to/from the service centre. I've been told that the repair may take 4 weeks when they get the phone (which Mr Fedex says should be tomorrow!).

Thankfully, I manage to get onto the same person at HTC all the time - Francis - which is on the Australian service desk and apparently a supervisor.

My g/f and I have even had arguements with the HTC call centre guys about being put through to Francis for each call. As I am sick of repeating my story every single time, we now ask straight away to be put through to him and refuse to tell the first guys anything - One agent argued with us that he couldn't transfer the call until he knew what it was about - oh boy did my g/f give him an earful :rolleyes:

Anyhow - I have enclosed a letter with the phone as follows:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] richuu:
I sympathise, since I would be lost without my phone and I hate the calling process you have to go through to get the simplest of things resolved these days.

However, I do have to ask (whilst hoping your new Nexus has placated you!), why you chose a US service center when the phone was purchased in Europe?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bonneHero:
Well basically there are five global warranty centres - UK, US, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. I decided to use either UK or US to ensure there was no language barrier, and then it was a matter of which time zone matched up better. It appears as though the US has better opening hours (see link below), but actually this is their service hotline, not the warranty centre. So it turns out I ended up calling them after midnight anyway.

If I was going to do it again I would have chosen the UK centre since my model of Hero was sold in the UK, but c'est la vie.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] CRCinAU:
I thought that I'd post a new update...

I got my TP2 back from HTC yesterday. HTC picked it up (well, Fedex did) and I got it back in about a week. This is great service! If only if had happened 7 weeks ago when I first reported the fault....

As this is the second time I've had to send this Touch Pro 2 back, I'm a bit hesitant to say everything is all good - but we'll see if all is ok in time.

[HTC Aria General] a4t:
I bought this HTC Aria from USA and use it at my country (Indonesia) But unfortunately the signal is capped to search only gprs or edge, cannot hooked to 3G or hsdpa network..

I also have the asian market Aria, that works perfect in "wcdma only" netwotk. It don't have at&t logo on the upper right screen.

Question is how to make this at&t Aria working on my country wcdma network, bcoz I think that hardware already supported.. I just don't know how to hack it :-)

I believe that its all about software or radio file or something like that , so I put my question here in this sub thread.. So sorry if I do a wrong post.
[HTC Aria General] lilhaiti:
I think it is more a frequency issue than a lock issue. This is a world phone and no frequencies are locked. But if your carrier doesn't use the same 3G frequencies, it will not work on 3G. The 3G frequencies for the Aria are 850mhz and 1900mhz. Your carrier is probably using 900mhz and 2100mhz for 3G. Your only fix (if this is your issue) is to either buy another phone or change carriers.
[HTC Aria General] wittyscreenname:
Not to threadjack, but do any US carriers use the [apparenlty] more common 900/2100mhz for 3G?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Nope. Neither AT&T or T-Mobile use 900/2100 for their 3G frequencies. AT&T uses 850/1900 and T-Mobile uses 1700(AWS).
[HTC Aria General] 311keys:
The Aria should work

It's supposed to be a quad band.
[HTC Aria General] pyros1:
No the HTC aria is not quadband for 3g or hsdpa. Basically there is a US versiont the 850/1900 . In Taiwan they released another version with the 900/2100. So if where you live doesn't have a place that uses the 850/1900 your basically stuck w/ 2g speeds.

[HD2 General] Embalmer:
Ive been searching for a while but didnt find this topic.

I like using android cause its a better os than winmo, and cause it connects to tmo 4g at 2800 kbps unlike the stock winmo rom that tmo pda engineers said is software capped for 3g speeds of 640kbps.

Is there a customized stock winmo rom thats avalible that has ability to see and connect to the 4g "H" network? Reason i ask is i do

still have use for winmo on hd2 for work purposes and when i do need to have it on for work, would like to browse web as fast as i do when android is on.

Thanks
[HD2 General] gaarry:
I don't think it's the software, I'm pretty sure it's the hardware, the HD2 can't handle the speeds, it wasn't designed for it. I think TMO might have been talking about the new G2 that CAN handle the newer speeds.
[HD2 General] Embalmer:
It can handle up to atleast 3000kbps. but the engineers said its software capped at 3g, and confirmed that the android ports can reach higher 4g speeds (he said his did the same). its something in the android roms that unlocks it to work to atleast 2700kbps from the tests ive done with winmo and android (winmo full bar "3g" 700kbps android full bar "H" 2750kbps from mobilespeedtest.com). being in boston the 4g is live, and the 2 speed tests and completely different. I asked if there was going to be an update from htc to unlock windows mobil to use 4g as it can handle it, probably not as fast as g2, but faster than standard 3g. He said probably not so they can sell their g2, and suggested for the faster net to continue using the android port.

So figured id look here, and see if its been done yet, or that if its now a known issue, if the dev's can make something to unlock it.
[HD2 General] JonSolo:
That is odd. I used Elegancia and now ChuckyDroid and both of those show an H as my connection. With Elegancia I would easily get 2400 around town. Never tried with ChuckyDroid as I boot directly to Android now.

You should not be capped. Not with any of these ROMS here. Many have posted figures as high as 3000+ on this board.
[HD2 General] Embalmer:
Yeah im using the stock 3.15 tmo rom, and the darkstone desire hd rom. I try to stick to factory rom as i find it easier to navigate,and like the htc clock/weather widget (nice seeing if its raining ect before i leave the office)
[HD2 General] maqsur:
On Android on my HD2, I topped out (using speedtest.net) at ~560 kB/sec (bytes) download, and 160 kB/sec upload. I guess that is somewhere around 4.5-5 mb/sec rate?

I'm in nyc metro area
[HD2 General] Buster3616:
You need to try the energy roms they allow you to connect to H. There are several in the thread, some offering a very factory feel but better and more efficient. (They also retain the clock widget and few cool variants of it)
[HD2 General] masondoctorjt:
I have always got the H symbol

with all the stock ROMS. And with speed tests teathered I get over 4Mbps. so It's not capped by software. BTW, I get those speeds on mobile speed tests too.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Yeah that information about the software being capped is complete crap. I use the stock 2.15 ROM and I consistently get 3Mbps AT LEAST on H and most of the time around 4Mbps while im out and about. For whatever reason it sounds like your Android port is "faster", but it also sounds like you use WinMo at work, and Android in other places, which would also definately account for your difference in speeds. The hardware itself is also most definately capable of utilizing "4G"(as I was recently just made aware).
[HD2 General] Embalmer:
Actually the test was taken at same spot, in parkinglot with full bars. Start in android get 2750 with "h" reboot to windows, same spot full bar "3g" and get 650. Wont connect to "h" in windows
[HD2 General] tobiascrystal:
check this

there is a spot in the data settings where you can turn HSPA on and off make sure yours isn't turned off. I don't have the stock rom so I am not sure where it is on there any more. I do know that it isn't turned on by default on some phones for some reason though.
[HD2 General] jcerda:
Im in the Bronx,New York City area. Back in march when the phone 1st on the market . I was able to get speeds of 2.5-3.0mb/sec On H . Now I can only get 1.4 or so . It's fast enough that I can stream netflix movies thru my H connection to my Laptop when I'm on the go say on the Bus uptown. Right I'm using the energy 21680 rom with 2.14.50.04 radio.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
Just because you don't see H doesn't mean your not connected to the H network. Many roms, including the stock roms, have the H symbol hidden. Many customized roms usually show H. Don't worry about seeing H or not.

In regards to the speed in android vs. win mobile, my hd2 gets slower speeds in windows mobile and much faster speeds in android in many areas. I download at around 1000/300kbps but on android i would get 3000/500kbps. I would imagine its because android uses ppp or rmnet connection methods vs. whatever windows mobile uses. (I think its ppp and rmnet at least. don't ask me what they do, not too sure)
[HD2 General] d0ug:
please explain to me how ive hit 5.5mbps on my stock rom? The stock HD2 software/hardware is fully capable of utilizing HSPA 7.2 though you'll likely never see 7.2 mbps in real world usage due to network congestion and TCP/IP overhead. like others have said on here, tmobile hides the "H" on their stock rom. why? ive no clue, maybe to not confuse the hell out of your joe blow customer who knows what 3G is but hasnt a clue what the H means

Out of curiosity though, does anyone know what needs to be changed in a stock rom to make it display the H? im assuming its a registry mod, or a replacement icon library file which contains the H icon
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
That is very true. Using the stock notification icons, I could only see [3G], but using a custom set with the stock ROM(or any ROM for that matter), I switch between [H] and [3G]. Thanks for pointing that out!
[HD2 General] d0ug:
Curious if you could link to this custom icon set that can be installed on the stock rom?
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
I do not remember where I got it from exactly, or who made it, but I do know that there are a plethora of them available in the "HD2 Themes and Apps" sub forum of the LEO section here at XDA. Heres what my homescreen looks like now with the custom icons:

How To Set HD2-Windows for 4G Network

PLEASE WHAT ARE THE STEPS I NEED TO TAKE TO CONFIGURE MY HD2-WINDOWS MOBILE SO THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO CONNECT TO T-MOBILE 4G NETWORK? [new york city area]
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Please don't use all CAPS, it is considered shouting.

Not to be too obvious, but have you purchased a data plan from T-Mobile? If so, they can assist far better than we can.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Your HD2 will not connect to "4G"....

You may be getting confused with HSDPA which over here sometimes gets called "3.5G"
[HD2 General] yinka11691:
I see! Please how can I get the 3.5G or HSPA that you mentioned. I am currently having 3G T-mobile data plan.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
Make sure that 3G is enabled in Comm Manager and providing your network supports HSDPA it will latch on whenever you get a signal.

As mentioned already in this thread, although you may not see the "H" symbol in your taskbar, that doesnt always mean your not getting HSDPA reception as some roms have this icon disabled and use only the "3G" icon.

If this trend continues by the end of the year Android sales will totally dwarf the iPhone 4 sales in 2010.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Umm.. I'd say it's a uphill battle..

Both RIM and Nokia are MILES ahead of Apple in smartphone market share currently. In fact, Apple's marketshare is only marginally more than Microsoft's at the moment. The difference is that Steve makes Stevenotes which are purposely written to portray the illusion that they are #1.

Back story

I was using my GPS this morning, everything was running fine, after typing in my new destination my phone froze.

I removed the battery and started it back up again, everything loaded, (A bit slower than usual) started up navigation, and it froze again.

So I thought something just corrupted and I should do a quick wipe and reinstall my Leedriod (Might as well update to the latest version - 2.1a, was on 2.0b I think)

Anyway, some commands where successful, some not, I figured out my memory card (16gb, team group, class 6) was the root of the issues.

Although I could install a new rom (Which was on the mem card already) I can't seem to access the memory card, and any program which tries will hang (Titanium backup, maps ect)

If I try and format through bootloader, it'll freeze.

If I insert the card into a card reader, windows will pick it up for a couple of seconds, I can see the contents, but it'll disappear when I try and copy anything from it.

I also can't format it from windows.

I've also found the the card gets very hot in the reader (A couple degrees more and it'll burn my fingers!.

Is my card FUBAR?

Is there something else I could try?

I ordered the card from DX so it's going to be a big pain to try and RMA it.
[Hero CDMA General] ASimmons:
Well I have seen several threads on cm6 running slow after about 4-7 hours. I to had noticed this but tried to ignore it and thought it was a video game I had been playing that was real taxing.

I'm also a huge ADW fan simply because of the popup toolbar and its free. But recently I did some comparison runs of LP vs ADW and noticed that I get no lag after long periods between reboots when using LP, but using ADW after about 5 hours my phone becomes very sluggish and programs that use allot of processing power become unusable and I'm forced to reboot.

I can't confirm this for sure that ADW has a memory leak but in my experience with software this is a prime characteristic of a memory leak. So if you having this same issue move over to LP.... ino ino most of you already have but just putting it out there I just wish that LP had the popup toolbar other than that LP is solid and my phone is more responsive running it.
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
I use LP but have seen the same. Good theory though but you'll need to benchmark and prove.
