[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dormantlemon:
dude!! I had the exact same problem with o2! (a generic handset, not branded). I left o2 for tmobile and i get 3g on it.

by the way, i heard of many people having problems with the t-mobile branded hero with 3g.(dunno if yours is tmobile branded or just on tmobile). Its a hardware issue apparently, so no fixes i dont think if it is that
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __HM__:
What do you mean by that? I get EDGE 100% of the time, if thats what you're asking.

and as for a t-mobile branded Hero, there isnt one of those here in the states. ;) this guy's an import.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
On the top bar what symbol do you see?

E = Edge

G = 2G

3G = 3G

H = HSPRS (or something) - this is the fastest signal level, its like 3.5G essentially

That's a good question. Sorry I don't have the answer.

[Droid X General] ¿GotJazz?:
Is ZoomService.apk the package that brings up the text cursor zooming feature?

And, if it is, does anyone know what would happen if I installed it on my Moto D1?

(My guess: FC! FC! FC! FC! FC! ...) :)

The "red dot" text cursor zooming is one feature I

really

miss on my D1, and I've been looking for a way to get it onto my D1.
[Droid X General] zehkaiser:
D1 or DX?

And I think you would have the best chance of running the apk on your other phone if they're on the same Android version. Also, unless a listener is built into the apk, the phone will have to request it.
[Droid X General] themobijew:
try it and tell us what happens :P
[Droid X General] ¿GotJazz?:
It's coming from a DX, trying to get it on my D1.

That's a good point on the "listener" aspect.

I'll try backing up my phone, and installing it. I'll let y'all know if I see anything.

I saw on one of my Android RSS feeds that the AT&T Uverse .apk was released and that it is not locked down by carrier and already verified to be able to work on verizon.

Has anyone began working on porting that to the Hero and Sprint? Any of you Uverse customers?

I would be willing to donate if someone has the skills/time to make this work. Let me know.

[Galaxy Tab General] brucewilsonpa:
I haven't seen any specs for North American Galaxy Tab so I don't know if the AT&T version will have UMTS 850. I have ordered a Euro version that has UMTS 1900 so I presume it "should" work on AT&T 3G but I'm worried because what I can find on this subject implies UMTS 850 is essential for AT&T 3G. Can anyone with experience in US tell me how well the UMTS 1900 only works? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] Funk2641:
Yes

To be more specific, it will if your city still has the 1900 mhz band. Check here: http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml
[Galaxy Tab General] brucewilsonpa:
Thanks for the quick response and the maps (first time I've seen coverage maps by frequency, since AT&T no longer offers them) Very helpful and I feel better about haven ordered the Euro version.
[Galaxy Tab General] brucewilsonpa:
Are there any owners of cellphones using the Euro 900/1900 UMTS frequencies on US 3G networks who can share their experience?
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
I live in the SF Bay Area and here the network is mainly 1900Mhz so the device works very well.

If you live in a market that got 3g fairly early, your network in probably 1900Mhz.

If you live in a market that only recently (1-2 years) got 3G, you might be on a 850Mhz network.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willhill:
Didn't really see this anywhere else, so I thought I'd ask.

With all of the Rosie mods floating around lately, would it be possible to change the number of homescreens?

I love Sense and can't seem to stick with an AOSP ROM for more than a couple days before I miss it. The one thing I find is that 5 homescreens is perfect for me. I know I can just ignore 2 screens, but I'm hoping the community here will aid my quest for Sense ROM perfection.

Good questions, there is no mod for this as far as I know, this would require some coding that I am unfamiliar with. I would also only need 5. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GadgetCheck:
Guys,

I just bought my self a Galaxy S i9000 (16GB) and a BSNL (3G) Sim card.

Now Both Work great ie. i am getting good cell range.

Calls and Sms are working perfectly but the issue here is that the phone is not showing wether it is on 2G or 3G or wether it is using EDGE/GPRS/3G :eek:

And also i am not able to use packet data

i tried every combination in the book for configuring the Apn's and acess points but still no luck the phone just dosen't connect to the internet via GPRS and even that "E" icon dosent show up!! :confused:

Tried Settings>>Wireless and network>>Mobile networks and change Network mode to GSM/WCDMA(auto mode)

And also i dont have the option "Use packet data" under "Mobile networks"?

i just cant understad why the phone doest acess the internet with GPRS when it does acess the internet beautifuly over WIFI :mad:

I am running 2.1 and the latest Firmware Version

(just as it came out of the box and i haven't installed any lag fixes)

available here in INDIA!

(well dont know when we here are gona get the FROYO update via Kies :D)

Please help me get this phone connected to the internet via Packet Data :o
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vijaykanth:
The "Use packet data" option exists in only 2.2, not in 2.1

As far as ur internet connectivity problems are concerned, I think BSNL requires around 72 hours to activate the 2G/3G services on any phone. So I assume ur net has started working by now! :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itenos:
On my last visit to India I used BSNL too and I remember that I had to buy a special recharge voucher in order to get the data service activated. It didn't work out of the box. Further the 3g settings were different from the standard ones that BSNL uses.

I'm really stuck lol, looking at a few video reviews of the Desire HD and its pretty damn good, only thing is its even bigger than the Galaxy :p However I see gleaming reviews about it and its head to head overall in reviews with the Galaxy. I'm leaning towards the HTC as I already own one and really like it.

HTC negatives vs. the Galaxy Positives for me:

Internal memory (but HTC have 50% more RAM, and nothing a 32GB wont fix)

Screen (though some are saying the AMOLED is just too saturated which is why its so eye catching, like an over edited photo)

HTC Postitves:

HTCSense.com :D

SenseUI

Feels faster then the SGS (likely I've used pre lag fix SGS's though?)

Did have a few more in my head but they're gone now - very tired :p

Is there any current way to root the Nexus One on FRG83 (2.2.1) to where you don't have to unlock the bootloader?

Basically looking to be able to flash a ROM without voiding my warranty for good by unlocking the bootloader, since that cannot be restored to factory no matter what.

The way I tried was to root my phone using this app (which worked)

Downloaded lasted nightly build

rename to update.zip

copy to sdcard

power phone up in bootloader

choose recovery

At this stage all I see is the andriod and a ! , it doesn't seem to flash.

Right now I'm watching the Cyanogen logo just pop up send a lighting blot around the andriod then pop off (over and over).

I take it this is what you saw? Also been about 5 mnutes now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhipple:
I saw that but it didn't take more than a minute for the first boot.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnw230873:
Sorted now.

Process for me was to

root phone using the software on the first page

download the lasted nightly build

copy it to sdcard

download Rom manager

Allow Rom manager to install its recovery image

DO BACKUP

boot into bootloader

start up recovery which started rom manager's recovery

clean all old data (hence why it wasn't booting correctly)

flash rom

I can also confirm it is now possible to run custom roms without unlocking your device (no padlock on bootup screen).

Thanks JWhipple
[Desire HD General] betelgeuse74:
I posted this tips in the Magic section, but since the battery performance of the Desire HD seems to be an issue (and quite frankly could be the deal-breaker for me), it would be interesting if it could be confirmed that this method would increase battery performance.

The original article was published in the EVO 4G forum and explaines how to increase battery life on that device. These instructions are supplied by HTC themselves, and are issued as a response to a customer complaining to HTC about poor battery performance on the EVO 4G device.

Original thread to be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712990

The instructions are:

HTC claims that this is a one time procedure.

Focus on infinity is required, in simple words, your focus on the closest image should be beyond 20-25 feet. Also, make sure your lens is clean

The rest is just toying with it until you understand the camera/setting

[Dash 3G, Snap General] misub:
I have a Snap S521 with the official rom upgrade to 6.5

rom: 2.03.405.2 (65854)

Radio version: 3.47.25.29

protocol: 61.36t.25.29H

My problem is the signal strength is very weak compared to my other phones. In most cases where I have 'no network available' on the Snap the other, all on 3G, have very good signals. Even the Excalibur I have, albeit, not 3G is way better than the Snap.

The question is, is the radio version the correct one and is there another version that may improve my signal?

I have just bought this, second hand, and replaced the screen as it was cracked. I have to say it was the easiest phone to work on compared with the Nokia and Sony Ericsson which I normally do.

I really like the phone but am dissapointed at the reception. If the software is correct then it must be a hardware issue but I thought of asking first before I go any further.

Thanks
[Dash 3G, Snap General] neocorpse:
It sounds like it's possible that you may have a bunk antenna. I'd call your provider and see what can be done about a possible replacement. Since the antenna is hardware I have no clue as to whether softwares would fix the issue. Even though you can polish a turd, it's still just a shiny turd....lol. If you have multiple phones than you at least have means of communication til the problem gets sorted out. I had the same problem with both my Gravity and Gravity2 phones, but as it turned out, the antennas just happened to suck...lol.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manfredv:
I am on Wind, a new Canadian 3G AWS only network that defaults to (roams) Rogers GSM when the signal is weak. I have noticed that the sensitivity on WM 6.5 seems to be much more better than on Android in that I can select Wind inside my home in Windows but the Phone will not find Wind as an available network on Android. I have not selected "2G networks only". I would have assumed that the Android build uses the same radio software.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
It uses the same radio firmware if that's what you mean. Hardly the same at the software level...

Either way with Android you get a choice - GSM or CDMA. You can't flip between (to my knowledge...) while in the OS as you have to change that value in the startup.txt to get either GSM or CDMA service.

I think there may be a way to adjust startup values on the fly, but it's certainly not straightforward as I recall. I'll see what I can drum up, but that is your problem I believe.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manfredv:
Thanks, some more background: Both networks are GSM, one (Wind) 3G on 1700 and 2100 and the other standard north American 2G GSM (850 and 1900). As far as I know the roaming agreement does not allow my phone to use the 3G part of the Rogers network. The phone is originally t-mobile GSM - otherwise it would not work on Wind.

I really do not think that CDMA comes in to the equation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Ah, I misread your post. I apologize... not sure what you would need at this point but I'm not sure anyone else is doing what you're trying to do... Hopefully someone who is chimes in :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] manfredv:
Android GSM Radio

@arrrghhh

I probably did not state it clearly.

I have a t-mobile (US) Touch Pro 2 that is unlocked. When I use it in WM 6.5 at home I get to select the Wind network as an option. When I use the phone in Android mode I do not get to see the Wind network at all but only the Rogers network that Wind roams on as the Rogers network is much larger than the Wind network. Is the problem with less sensitive GSM radio software or are there some selections such as "data enabled" or "2G network only" that I have not made correctly?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
I don't believe so, and I've heard GSM reports what service it is getting from the tower ID - so perhaps the towers you're connecting to are still Rogers even tho Wind probably leases tower space from them...

Unfortunately I don't have this ability, and I'm not sure anyone else uses GSM in this manner - I'll poke around and see if I find anything that is useful.

When is there going to be any alternate ROMs to run on the Captivate?

All I see are samsung ROMs that can be loaded on the Captivate, and they're all loaded up with crappy samsung touchwiz. Whether its "Cognition" or JF6 or JH7 or JI6, etc. the fact remains that these are all crappy samsung ROMs. Where's all the "openness" that I hear the pro-android crowd pumping day in and day out?

I guess I dont understand much about android, but why is it impossible to just load a purely stock version of the OS on the phone and have it run? I hate touchwiz. I hate the bluetooth stack that samsung put on the phone (no WII-mote gaming). I hate the absolutely ridiculous file system that samsung uses. I hate the fact that it takes 20 seconds to open up the phone dialer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
My dialer opens instantly and i like touchwiz.

But the 2.1 sources are there, if someone wants to build a generic 2.1 they can. I guess if someone really wanted it, they would build it.

It sounds like you would like to commission someone to build a Stock Android 2.1 build for the Captivate. You could try to motivate someone with a cash bounty.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Why not search the forum and see what is available for the phone instead of complaining. Roms are available that remove touchwiz and boatwear. Or get a phone that would suit you more since learning about android and the captivate don't work well for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
Yea, I would love a stock 2.1 or 2.2. Someone in the developer forum tried building an AOSP 2.1 but they stopped. They put out a version 0.1 and it had so much wrong with it, it was worthless.
