[HD7 General] ace10134:
hahah according to that, my Touch Pro 2 has HSPA+. False!

So once again, the HD7 does NOT have HSPA+. It would be listed in the specs if it did.
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
i've shown you all kinds of specs, i don't know what else to say. hopefully, the op will see that they WILL get h+ with the hd7. have a good night :). btw, it's not in the hd2 specs about h+, but i bet i have H+!
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Okay, the "specs" you showed were...

- It felt "faster" (it's a whole different operating system.... and you think your HD2 has H+ also, so it should be the same according to you)

- Your PDA DB links, which say that it DOESN'T have HSPA+, "Cellular-Data_Links: CSD, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA" for both the HD2 and the HD7

- A article that was already incorrect in stating that the Touch Pro 2 and HD2 have HSPA+.

According to the stores that actually SELL the HD7, it does NOT have HSPA+. Plain and simple.
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
lol, what i read is wrong, what you read is right. gotta love that! do you think the hd2 is capable of h+? but wait...it doesn't say that in the specs. now ask every t-mo hd2 on this site who lives in an h+ area if THEY have h+. see where i'm going...? then you said "oh wait, it SAYS my tp2 has it, but that can't be right, either." comical!
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Umm, how do you KNOW you have H+?

A little "H" on your status bar does not mean that it is HSPA+

And why wouldn't the specs say it if the phone actually has it? You're getting nowhere, you don't have PROOF. All you're basing your argument off of is how fast your internet FEELS.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
Here's a quote taken from one of the HD2 threads about HSPA+

An "H" on your phone means that you're connected to a HSPA tower, not the PLUS. The difference between HSPA and HSPA+ is huge for data speeds, as he shows.

You're getting HSPA and HSPA+ confused.
[HD7 General] androidd:
This is correct I work for T-Mobile and this is not an HSPA+ Device
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
did you guys check the bgr link i gave? it says hd2 is capable of h+. i live in jacksonville, fl., which has h+. besides, this is about the hd7 having h+ :), i posted the links to show that if hd2 is CAPABLE of h+, why wouldn't the hd7? but to clear up confusion, i have a guy from geeks that works for t-mobile, he's going to check tomorrow. i have a t-mo 5 mins. from where i live(where they have the hd7 already), i'm checking also. then we'll get this straight once and for all :).
[HD7 General] androidd:
LOL I again work for them and have played with it since 11-01 and I assure you this phone is not HSPA + / HSPA only
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
well, a man admits when he's wrong, and i was wrong about the hd7 http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-hd7-t-mobile/4505-6452_7-34195349.html#reviewPage1
[HD7 General] mrmomoman:
mr8820 - at least it hits the upper end of the HSPA with some people reporting 5.2Mb download speeds. That's pretty darn good.

Although HSPA+ is still not considered 4G according to the 4G consortium it seems like it is blazingly fast. I am on the 4G network(sprint) and I am not that impressed. I get 11Mb downloads which I can't complain but its sporadic at best. I am mobile so if I can average 5Mb's I would be a very happy camper.

You don't need that speed to stream HD video anyways. T1's in most businesses do it fine at 1Mb so I have faith as compression and latency is improved it will provide for a nice streaming experience.

I am debating on the HD7 or the Dell Venue Pro. I live in an area where TMOBILE is not the best service and AT&T is a better choice for me but I can't have my cake and eat it too.
[HD7 General] pinkgabe:
This is pretty big deciding factor for me choosing between the hd7 and mytouch 4g. i cant really find a direct answer for what the HSPA+ network is. Some places say that most current tmobile phones support HSPA+, but yet they're blowing up the g2 and mt4g saying they're 4g phones. wouldn't all phones be 4g/hspa+ then?
[HD7 General] chaoscentral:
Ok, so the HD7 is NOT HSPA+ compatible that's 100% sure just because of the fact the QSD8250 Snapdragon that is inside this and the Venue Pro can't support HSPA+ at a silicon level.

Second, even though this isn't going to be an HSPA+ device, you will still see a MAJOR speed increase in an HSPA+ area. I'm talking going from the average 500-900kbps to a max of about 7.2mbps down, i've averaged about 6.5mbps on my non HSPA+ Vibrant, and you know what? It is still ridiculously fast. Sure while it might not get the entire 14.4mbps that the myTouch 4G and G2 are capable of, a max of 7.2mbps is extremely usable.

you could easily stream Netflix with half of that, so as long as you are in an HSPA+ area, just don't worry about it and enjoy the speeds. it won't be slow since HSPA+ is backwards compatible with all T-Mobile 3G devices.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
Sorry to interfere but HSDPA is capable of handling up to 14Mbps now and HSPA+ is capable of 42/84Mbps iirc

So you could both be right, no the phone doesn't support HSPA+ but it could be faster than the HD2 due to higher speeds being supported in the hardware.

Just saying... ;)
[HD7 General] Darnell_Chat_TN:
The T-Mobile USA HD7 has the exact same processor and radios as the T-Mobile USA HD2.

And T-Mobile USA's HSPA+ is only able to reach 21 Mbps currently. Upgrades to reach 42 Mbps and faster are still forthcoming. HSPA for T-Mobile USA only reaches 7.2 Mbps.

We have to keep in mind we are not all talking about the same device on the same network. ace10134 is in the USA, while frontieruk is in the UK.
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
i'm like you, but after reading the reports, we were all duped lol. no network right now has real 4g..just good marketing. but the hd7 i handled loaded super fast with ie, and that's unheard of in the mobile world!
[HD7 General] Ken B:
Blazing fast

I was at a T-Mobile store today and ran MobileSpeedTest.com and was blown away by the results. The clerk couldn't believe it either. I ask him if the HD7 was accessing wifi and he said it shouldn't be. It downloaded 7000kb in 1.91 seconds.
[HD7 General] ace10134:
That's only 3.7 Mbps.... faster than my home's DSL internet, but still no HSPA+ :P

We will definitely see increases in speeds as T-Mobile rolls out the HSPA+, even when our HD7 doesn't support it.
[HD7 General] chaoscentral:
even in a moderate HSPA+ area, you will probably never see real world speeds past 7-8mbps right now, main reason being number of people on the network and backend capacity.

I ran a speedtest on both my Vibrant and a myTouch 4G, both in an HSPA+ area, the myTouch got about 6mbps, and my Vibrant was right behind at about 5.8mbps. Provided both phones are in the same area, you will get the same speed.

You will probably never notice the difference at the moment between a "4G" phone and a regular HSPA device since the cap is at 7.2mbps. Now next year once T-Mobile starts rolling out the 42mbps HSPA+, you will probably then start to notice as they have to upgrade the backend once more for that.

So for now it's probably a moot point, but a year from now it'll start to be a deciding factor, and by then I'll be ready for a new phone ;)
[HD7 General] kendric84:
I also concur that the HD7 is not HSPA+ but I have some interesting mobilespeedtest.com results that I can't really explain... T-Mobile just switched on HSPA+ here in Chicago about a week ago. I've ran several tests since I got my HD7 on Monday and all have been extremely fast. See the attached. This is the fastest result I've gotten so far! 19,512! :eek:. And no, WiFi is not on, you can see T-Mobile listed as the ISP.

Think there is something wrong with the tests? Something funny going on with IE on WP7 & mobilespeedtest.com?
[HD7 General] ace10134:
I think something funny is going on with WP7. I got 8 Mbps, and the tech inside the HD7 is the same as my Touch Pro 2, which only got 1 Mbps.
[HD7 General] chaoscentral:
Ehhh, i think the only "similar tech" between the 2 is the fact they have a 3G radio lol, but theoretically if the Touch Pro 2 is getting similar reception with a strong enough antenna then it should also be getting a very nice speed increase. My sisters G1 gets about 5.6mbps in the speedtest.net app
[HD7 General] nexus14:
The HD7 is not a HSPA+ device.

Phones that aren't HSPA+ device can sill take advantage of T-mobile's 3G speeds. It just won't be able to hit the really really high speeds (10 mbs on G2 for example)
[HD7 General] Yellowarmadillo:
Well my experience with the hd7 at internet speed its too bad because the speed test level only a 500 kpbs and my wife have an lg optimus with speed around 1.2 and 1.5 mbps with the same t mobile company so as you can see its frustrating . Hope with the update they can fix this kind of bug.
[HD7 General] pittphan:
You can not use mobile speedtest.net because there is some weird issue with the way are browser caches it... I would consistantly pull down 20Mbs! Lol! And that was on 3g!

If I use the bandwidth app in the market I get 1-3Mbs.

FYI.

Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
[HD7 General] tai4de2:
I seriously doubt that the speed difference between an HD7 and HSPA+ devices are significant for the kinds of things most of us do with our phones, e.g., browsing, YouTube, email, etc.

The servers on the remote end and everywhere between there and your handset represent bottlenecks. On the device itself, browsing involves things like caching content to flash memory and other processing, and without super-optimized browsers and other components on the device, this is also a bottleneck. Indeed, this is why the HD7 seems faster than the HD2 when browsing: the OS and browser are better/more optimized.

The higher network speeds would be most useful for things like streaming high bitrate video and tethering, but the former has limited availability today and the latter is not possible with HD7 anyway.

Bottom line: enjoy the great HSPA browsing experience on the HD7 and don't over-analyze.
[HD7 General] :
i just got the hd7 and im not getting the "H" icon at all, only 3g....any idead?

i got "H" all the time on the hd2.

edit: i forgot i used change the H icon to 3g+ with the advance config app :D
[HD7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Don't believe everything you read. No WP7 device is capable of H+. I have the HD7 & can tell you it doesn't have H+. It has regular H with a max of 7.2 Mbits Download. H+ is something like 20Mbits. Now being in an T-Mobile 4G area may enhance speed a bit as most of T-Mobile's network doesn't max download the regular H the HD2/7 can handle.

You might start seeing H+ with Mango as the new chipsets might support H+. 1st Gen Snapdragons never supported it.
[HD7 General] truckerdewd:
Yea, what he said. It's listed nowhere in the specs nor does anyone at T-mobile or HTC say that the HD7 can do actual 4G. It's listed as a 3G phone same as the HD2.
[HD7 General] TEKHD:
I can also confirm more than 7.2Mb... about a week ago I got 8.4Mb-8.8MB on various tests online on different sites... so... I know the HD7 can go much more than 7.2MB because I have seen it. In fact, I was using dfrouter and was downloading a bunch of files (movies) on my laptop using Vuze (azureus) thru my HD7 connection and was getting a huge bandwidth (much more than my 5MB's at home). So I have no doubt the HD7 can go much faster than the 7.2MB you guys are talking about.
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Where are the bookmarks located for the stock browser, opera and skyfire? I'm considering going from a 2.1 build to a 2.2 build and have heard that a titanium restore will not work from e to f. If that is the case I need to copy my bookmarks to my external sd card.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NagyBaj:
Hi all,

just wanted to know whether you experienced any GPS improvements after the update?

Mine seems to be functioning a a lot better, however, it turns off by itself after like 10-15min of use. The little satellite dish disappears and I lose GPS tracking even though the GPS is turned on in the notification bar. I have to turn it off then on and it starts working again but it's annoying as hell.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinJa9000:
GPS test

I used it today for about 1,5 hour, while driving.

It took a few minutes to start up. It was pretty precise in nav mode.

I lost the GPS signal one time, where I also lost the data connection. (At the time i was also playing with the phone.

Over all a good experience.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehe12:
Tried yesterday, found satellites instantly, can keep gps lock, but still have some accuracy issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endisforever:
i used it on the way to work today with track booster and it seemed much better

however i tried again on the way home to test and lost data connection

once you loosed connection you dont seem to be able to get it back you have to restart the phone which is annoying

i will not say its fixed untill i have used it more and got consistant result
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocky2:
Just as bad as ever here, not locking many sats and still keeps losing them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NagyBaj:
I can def use the phone for turn by turn navigation now, which is a massive plus.

But after working flawlessly for a couple min, it loses the GPS connection and doesn't even attempt to reconnect.

I then switch GPS off, then back on and it's working again.

This has got to be a software glitch.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrej.marinic:
still very bad. sometimes it simply cannot get a lock at all. this happens away from buildings and under clear sky. sometimes it gets a lock instantly but loses it quite quickly.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkonus:
I have the feeling that my gps is now with froyo better. Now i have more sattelits but works good enough with eclair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bynar010:
Better, but still unacceptable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naounmai:

Locked on 7 sats.

For me, waaaay much better with Froyo.

I tried to mod the SE Camera Application to reduce the JPEG Compression, but it's really hard to read and understand the "smali-code". (The code generated when deodexing a file)

I guess the most relevant file is "CameraController.smali" but i could be wrong, since i have no experience in disassembling.

Everyone who want to help, is welcome!

All files you need are attached. (You actually just need "classes_deodexed.rar")

Please try and help me, I know you all want uncompressed Images from that gorgeous 8.1 MP camera. :)

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT:

I also tried to compile the stock camera application from http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Camera.git;a=summary

but i couldn't find a snapshot which compiles with 2.1. (just with 2.2 -.-)

If someone can compile the stock camera application, that would be awesome! Because then it would be very easy to set the compression to PNG or JPEG 100%

we just need to modify the file ImageManager.java

the line "source.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, outputStream);" to "source.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, outputStream);" or "source.compress(CompressFormat.PNG, 100, outputStream);"

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] naveen_reloaded:
sorry but compression is indirectly proportional to better quality of pix or size ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ooidort:
If you succeed in raising the JPEG compression quality, would it also be possible to raise the bitrate of the audio when recording video? Because that would be really awesome!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] theeedy:
That depends with what camera app (stock or SE) we are working.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] theeedy:
I finally made it! (i think)

Fortunately the SE-Camera app has almost the same code as the stock camera app. So it was really easy.

File: CameraController.smali

Line: 2200

const/16 v6, 0x46

needed to be changed to:

const/16 v6, 0x64

(from 70% to 100%) 0x46 is the hex code for 70.

Here's the code-snippet to understand it better:

where v2 is the percentage (70 or 100%)

The pictures now take longer to be saved. So unfortunately there's a bigger delay before you can capture the next photo. (It's really not that big difference)

But i think the pictures look better now.

Well i forgot to take some sample pics to compare (before/after). But you can do that!

The apk is attached.

Just push the apk to your phone (after you have unrar'd it) and replace it with the original (backup first! or just rename the original) with root explorer. Give it the same permissions as the old one. And finally reboot the phone.

Please post some before/after pictures and your oppinion!

PS: I'll try to increase the audio-quality in video-mode later.

Thank you.
