5GHz 802.11n in American versions

For the American Galaxy Tabs, according to the FCC, only T-Mobile's Galaxy Tab has support for the 5GHz 802.11n. Having used a T-Mobile and Verizon one, I can verify the T-Mob's 5GHz 802.11n does work and the VZW's doesn't see my 5GHz networks.

(See FCC ID page. Samsung's "Grantee Code" is A3L and the product codes are the model numbers without the dash: SCHI800 (Verizon/US Cellular), SGHT849 (T-Mobile USA), SGHI987 (AT&T), and SPHP100 (Sprint).)

I removed also the marked update from last week.

Any tip any one?

same here, everything gives 'download unsuc....'
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puck24:
Seems like it's a more global problem than you'd think. I have had the same problem today. Had 2 apps that wanted to update, allowed it and it says "Download unsuccessful". After that tried to DL one that I don't have installed and it starts, pauses, starts, pauses, etc.

Eventually, after ca 20 mins it finally downloads.

I think it'll get sorted out by Google

Market not downloading after the Update!

Is there a way to get it working again without removing the latest Market Update? I realy want to keep it!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puck24:
Remove the update, it'll install again after some time (this time correctly) as I understand it
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevegbee:
I do not have an option to remove market update in the market section of manage applications. There is a separate one underneath market titled market updater. I am working on market version 1669 is this the latest version?

Please no derisory comments, im not the most tech savvy!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puck24:
I have the same market. I just cleared cleared the cache, restarted the phone and after a few hours everything went back to normal. That's the only advice I can give you since I had the same problem

Uninstalled update... Nothing happened.

Guess I'll have to wait for the eclair update...

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoober:
I had same problem with girlfriends x10. Fixed it by going to:

Settings>applications> manage applications> market>uninstall market updates. Button should be at very bottom of info page. This cleared things up in a hurry. Was back up and dl'ing apps a minute later with no problems!

This will send market back to old state. Does not remove any application updates, just changes the market software
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petarsson:
did also work on my X10!

deinstalled market update in application-management -> downloads worked

market updated again automatically -> downloads still worked

but 2 days ago i had to repeat this...the downloads didn't start, like before...

same thing: updates deinstalled, downloads work...let's see, for how long i need to do that...

@SE: update?!?!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyD777:
Its not only the X10 that has problems, I have the same problems on my Desire HD. :mad:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phantasm4489:
the market will update itself again silently after a period of time and it may work for some time after the update and break again later (it did for me). Not sure what else we can do except keep uninstalling the update until the problem is fixed.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slave1:
Factory reset fixed mine.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breno999:
Quick fix

If your phone is rooted, this might help:

Try deleting the /data/data/com.android.vending folder and reboot the phone.

This worked like a charm to me. You just have to accept the Service Terms again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maistora:
Process at fault?

I've had the same experience with the Market in the last few days - even worse.

Has anyone got error messages about com.google.process.gapps having to force-close?

I was at first experiencing only occasional failed downloads - and on repeat they went through. Then it became more persistent, and the above error message started showing up. Finally, this Saturday, any downloads or updates became impossible.

I cleared all possible caches and reset various settings, nothing helped. As a last desperate resort I decided to repair the entire firmware (stock, I never debranded or flashed 'alternative' releases) using PC Companion. The result is a nice paperweight - bricked my phone irreversibly :mad:

I am researching the latter (and 'slightly' bigger) problem - reading the entire forum end-to-end (to avoid crucifiction for asking stupid questions) - but so far am only finding irrelevant posts (debricking debranded phones, or ones flashed with hacked ROMs), or useless ones ('black magic' solutions from poeple not knowing what tey are talking about)... But that's is off-topic in this thread:

Does anyone know what the com.google.process.gapps is, what is wrong with it, and how can it be fixed (on a working phone)?

Hi - is there a way of taking a screengrab from WP7 handsets?

I'm assuming there is a way of hooking up via the SDK, but just wanted to check this.

[Windows Phone 7 General] wr6969:
Seeing that the last reply was about a month ago, I thought I'd try my luck again - is there one yet? :D

Also, if we can't do it straight from/on the phone, can we hook up the emulator and do it that way? I am in desperate need to take some screenshots for a short review I'm writing.

Many thanks.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Hey guys, I just upgraded from eris (2.2.1 KaosFroyo) to Droid Incredible. I am not sure if this has been talked about on this end of the forum or not, I did look but could not find anything. When I open the 3g mobile hotspot app that came stock with the unit, it states "You need the 3g mobile Hotspot feature from Verizon Wireless in order to use this service." When I hit ok, it appears to have shared my internet access. I have not added this service through verizon, am I going to be charged and is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance for any guidance with this. I look forward to being on this forum now.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
You have to agree to pay like $25 a month... It will appear to work but when you try to use it it'll only show pricing for it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Ok, thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
There is a work around for it. 1st choice it to ROOT your Incredible and then download wireless tether. No charge.

Second is to follow the below steps:

1) Dial ##778, SEND

2) EPST dialog comes up. Select 'Edit Mode'. Enter SPC (000000), hit OK.

3) Scroll to down to 'Security', select it. Change 'S.IP DUN User name' to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com (from yourvzwnumber@dun.vzw3g.com)

4) Hit back arrow to go back and go/select 'M.IP Default Profile'. Change 'DUN NAI' to yourvzwnumber@vzw3g.com (from yourvzwnumber@dun.vzw3g.com)

5) Hit menu button, and 'Commit Modifications', phone will save changes and reboot.

This allows you to "by pass" the pay for service screen from VZW and you can access the wireless hotspot. I tried it before I rooted and it worked but it seemed slow to me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NYC Coyote:
This is the method I use.....

I am rooted and have used both the wireless tether app in the market, as well as the built in from Verizon (which I prefer because of wpa encryption)....

In my day to day surfing....no actual testing... the verizon one works faster. At least on pulling up graphics intensive sites like cnn.

I'd be interested in knowing if there is a work around like this on the Droid 2 as that is what my friend has and the menu doesn't exist on that. (I tried)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
Thank you for the info. Is there a way for VZW to figure that out and has anyone heard that happening?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:

I'd just like to point out that the newest version of wifi tether (found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ ) supports WPA2 encryption as well as AP mode instead of ad-hoc
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I'm not 100% sure but someone said once that all phones may have the option menu its just under different numbers such as ##program or ##help or something like that but I've never tested it just remember someone's theory

Why bother modifying this (something possibly patchable) when an easy download of the wireless tether app is just as good?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mycomputerisjunk:
Anyone know where to get the 3g mobile hotspot app? I noticed that skyraider removed the one from Verizon.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalepl:
There is no modifying or patching of the app. All you do is change the username the DUN uses. It is set to allow Verison to know you are tethering. If you change it to your standard username (the one the internet browser, mail, and all the other apps use) then Verison does not know you are tethering. All they know is you are logged into the nework and using a data connection. No worry of being caught unless you are dumb enough to use your phone as your primary internet connection and use it everyday. The average user will spike here and there with normal internet use and this is what Verison will also see.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Is changing the s.ip dun user name needed?? I never changed mine and haven't had an issue... Would changing it make it harder to find out I'm doing this??
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
If you are rooted using wifi tether, there is no need to do this. It is a hack for non rooted users.

The only way VZW will find out is if you are using an obscene amount of data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I have both and the hotspot is faster for me
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korywiesner:
No comparison

The 3g from verizon is hands down faster. D1.71 U.66 on Hotspot vs D.43 U.33 on wifi tether.

[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
I may be way off base here and if I am feel free to delete. But with my reading and experience it seems that you cannot rely on the signal bars with this modem. Every thing on my end works see sig for what I'm running. The signal bars continuously display low or now coverage but everything works voice, data(HSUPA) make sure you enable the WCDMA 850. The only problems I see with this modem is battery life with I am seeing inconsistencies with. I flashed at 100% with the phone on charge when flashing. I saw 25% loss in the first hour and a half. I then deleted battery stats and continued to loss % quickly till I got to 63% and it seems to be holding and running fairly well. I have been unplugged for 3 hrs with very light use, wifi on and am 59%. I am going to continue testing and do a full recondition tonight and will report back.
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
While I agree that your signal bars may be lying to you, simply ignoring the problem is not a fix. To find out what is really going on you should go into the service mode:

On the dial pad enter *#*#197328640#*#*

select [1] DEBUG SCREEN

select [1] BASIC INFORMATION

Now you'll see real info on your signal and what band your phone is using. The important lines are the third and last. The third tells you what band and if you're using WCDMA or GSM. The RSCP value in the last line is your real signal strength and should be between -50 and -113 with lower numbers being better.

In order to make this thread useful, one should post their kernel/modem/rom information and what kinds of signal they are seeing with various combinations in the same locations. Posting location info might be beneficial as well.

If you want to force your phone to a single, or multiple bands, enter service mode from above then:

[1] DEBUG SCREEN

[8] PHONE CONTROL

[7] NETWORK CONTROL

[2] BAND SELECTION

From there you can select the bands you want the phone to connect to. Just remember that to go backward through the service mode, you have to use the soft keys as the back capacitive key will exit the service mode.
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
I'll start some useful information:

ROM: Tayutama's 1.0.3

Modem: JPM

Kernel: Reorient 2.1

Location: Indianapolis, IN

Observations:

At home even after enabling the 850 WCDMA band in the service menu while on automatic the phone was still trying to connect to the 1900 WCDMA band with a very poor signal > -109. Eventually it would even give up on the WCDMA signal and fall back to GSM 1900. I could force it to use 850 WDCMA only and see a good signal, but then if I were to leave the 850 WCDMA coverage area I'd have no signal at all. I returned to Cognition 2.1.7 and while I'm at home, the phone uses the 850 WCDMA band and has a good signal -80 to -95
[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
Ok so here is what it says

WCDMA 1900 band 2

RSCP:-96/-103 ( Bounces around)

I have 3 bars here at work. I will report what it is at home were I have no bars once I get home.

Edit: This is running Tayutama's JPM Froyo 1.0.3 w/Xcaliburinhand's Re-oriented Kernel with voodoo 2.1 jpm modem.
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't WCDMA for data and GSM for voice?

I've been unplugged for 9 hrs 41 min... of normal use (calls, texts, email, wordfeud, light browsing, and a couple of market updates)

I'm at 58%
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
The weird thing I'm having an issue with, with the JPM modem at least, is when I got to work this morning, my phone would only show it was connect on G, not 3G, just G. Speedtests were in the 40/60kbs range for up and down. I had the 850 band enabled. Flashed back to the JI6 modem, and I connect at H. Speedtests are still low, for the downstream at least, with 500-800 down, 1.7-2MBps up.

The other thing that I'm wondering about is this: I bought a Vibrant off of craigslist because it was hella cheap, and I heard in some areas you could get AT&T 3G with a Vibrant, and was thinking about switching to T-Mo. Anyways, at home, I would get 3-4MB/s download speeds with the unlocked Vibrant & and AT&T SIM. I haven't come close to that with any of my Captivate. At least I'm pretty sure that's what I was getting. I was going to wait to post something about this until I had a chance to test the Vibrant on the AT&T 3G at my house, but then I saw this post about the modem and with the problem I had with data once I got to work, I thought I'd post.

Oh yeah, and I'm currently on Tayutama's 1.03 Captivate ROM/xcaliburinhand's 2.1 w/ Voodoo & BLN.

edit - With JI6, connecting on WCDMA 850, RSCP ≈ -90. If I get a chance, I'll flash back to JPM and test again before I leave, but I doubt I will as I'll have to un-Voodoo before doing that.
[Captivate Android Development] l7777:
WCDMA is for high speed data (3G, NextG, HSDPA/UPA, or UMTS) , and GSM can do both voice and data (Edge, 2G, slow ass, whatever you want to call it)

Go into the service menu and post your connection info. You are partially correct about using a T-Mobile phone on AT&T's network. T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100 Mhz for its 3G bands while AT&T uses 850 and 1900. That you get any 3g signal at all is kind of surprising. If you use the service menu you should be able to lock the phone to any one of the available bands, then return to the basic information and see your signal strength and such. That should give you some insight as to what is happening. Do you get a good signal with any other rom/modem/kernel combinations?
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Uh well, it was pretty widely reported that Vibrants could get on AT&T 3G, but that Captivates couldn't get on T-Mo 3G. I forget why that is atm, I thought it was that they could connect the older 3G towers, whatever frequency that is. But it isn't a fluke, several people have tested it. The Vibrant would get 3G at my house, but not at work, and I didn't want to keep T-Mo anyway, so for now I have to phone, although I'll probably be selling it soon.

Anyways, after flashing back to JPM & enabling the 850 band, I only connect to GSM 1900, RSSI -91.

[Captivate Android Development] chrisryn:
Do i need to disable vodoo before flashing modem via odin.
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:
I think you do. I would
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Yes. You always, always, always, always, always, always need to disable Voodoo before flashing anything. JPK seems to be a winner for now. I actually never had any complaints with JI6, and who knows, I may go back to that if I have the same problems I had at work with JPK as I did with JPM.

So, to back to what I had mentioned earlier, I checked my Vibrant when I got home, and I was connecting on WCDMA Band 2 (1900MHz) and getting pretty awesome 3G speeds. I ran speedtest.net three times and averaged 2250kbps down, upstream had two good runs, both around 1300kbps, and one around 300. This was with modem T959UVJI2 and eugene's Froyo ROM.

edit edit - Interesting, I went into the band selection menu on the Vibrant and I could select the 850MHz band. I'm going to look into this a little more.

[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
In my experience, every I9000 modem has HSUPA enabled. I'm not sure if T-Mobile it trying to rip their customers like AT&T is, but AT&T is the reason we don't have HSUPA on Captivate modems/ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
vibrant users get HSUPA....stock without all the hackery we have to friggin deal with
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Good info...thanks for that. It turns out I'm on WCDMA 850 Band 5 with -80's RSCP and ECIO -single digits (running Tayutama's & Xcaliburinhand Eclair setup right now).

This seems to buttress the notion that the JPM modem is not handling WCDMA 850.
[Captivate Android Development] Killemalll:
Ok. I'll give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
It seems to me the battery life for you is a problem because the phone is struggling to get a signal. This type of drain is not the norm for this modem on this ROM.

I've found that as long as you don't mix modem with other phone ROMs or Eclair and Froyo, the battery life is pretty good.
