[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
So I've been disappointed with the network speed of my G2, and I confirmed with T-Mobile's coverage map that HSPA+ is live in my town. Went online and chatted with TMO's customer service (which is always great IMO), and he said I need to replace my old sim card with a free new one that is 3G/4G compatible. He put a note on my account and said I just need to stop by one of their stores to switch it out! Going on my lunch break today. Geez, I've had the phone for over a month and this was the problem all along. Will update later, hope this helps anyone in the same boat. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Hey Keith,

Dude the SIM card won't do a thing....They told me the same thing, and it actually made my speed slower the first few days...

As for the HSPA+ speeds, it seems there is a bug witht eh G2. Thesre are other posts in this forum that talk about waiting for another OTA to fix that maybe by the end of the month, maybe Dec. Once the my4g came out it was evident that the G2 was not hitting the speeds available.

I usually get about 2.5 Mbps, but have hit ocasionally the 4's, and once 6 point something...

Hope it helps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
Crey, that sucks but I'm going to try the new simcard anyway
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Sim card has nothing to do with your hspa speeds. All your sim card does is let the phone know your info. It doesn't control / affect your 3g / hspa speeds. Go for it though. If that makes you feel comfortable its worth the shot then. Just letting you know so you won't be disappointed in the end. Gl bro.

[G2/HTC Vision]
[G2 and Desire Z General] gcantrell:
Yeah, I went into the store a few days after getting the phone to get my sim replaced. For some reason whenever I buy a new phone they always take the new sim out of the box and put it behind their counter and take my old sim and put it in the new phone. Hopefully the new sim they gave me is the latest and greatest. Anyone know what the new sims look like?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
The TMo rep is full of it then. He said I was getting a "new 3G/4G compatible simcard". Well, it's worth a shot but I'll know not to take the card back if it doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Can't remember his name, but there was a user who commented on a previous post similar to this. His sim card was about 8 years old and he was hitting about 7 mb/s with hspa. I think its just your area. I inserted the sim that came with the phone and I get crappy hspa speeds. My area isn't fully supported. I top out at 3.5 mb/s. So its all depending on your area bro. Give it time. Hspa will expand more. Its brand new.

[G2 and Desire Z General] TheMan42:
While it won't do much for speeds, getting a new UICC SIM is good as the older sim cars are running into what is known as ' sim exhaustion' from reaching their registration limit (90,000 times) while this may seem like a lot, it doesn't take much with the newer 3G/HSPA towers.

Each time you enter the radius of a new tower, your device registers to it (basic description) - your phone does this a lot each day, especially if you travel a good deal.

The new UICC sim cards do not have a registration limit, and do not reach exhaustion. They are marked on one side of the sim by the numbers TM 9073. If you don't see that, your sim isn't UICC.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KeithRVA:
Got my new simcard, it does have the TM9073 marking, and the gold contact area on the back looks different, its smaller. Ran a speedtest inside the T-Mobile store and got 4mbp down and 3mbp up. Not great but better than I ever got with my old simcard. Back inside my office I ran speedtest again and it was the same as before, a crappy 1.30mbp down and a little better 1.5mbp up. But still a little boost from the old card. Guess it's worth it to get a new free simcard if you have an old one.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
If you can get a new SIM card, it'll be worth it. Though I doubt it will have any influence on network speed, I know I had to get a new one. Mine was running on seven years old!
[G2 and Desire Z General] tep065:
After reading this thread, I called T-Mo as well and the 2nd tech i talked to saw that I had the old G1 card in my phone and arranged a free one to be picked up at a local store (this after the first time i called was told that it was the cookies in my browser causing the internet speed to be slow and wanted to remotely delete them (they can do that?) I was like WHOA!!! I LIKE MY COOKIES!! she then told me it was because i needed to pull the battery once a week and because i had not been doing that, that also was causing the slow data..lol hung up on her and called back) even though i didn't see any increase in my office, i did see an increase on the street..nyc.
[Captivate General] Rizz67:
Hey Guys,

I am usually just a silent observer on the boards and try and gain knowledge from all these amazing developers but my experience last night has pushed me to vent. I live Atlanta, and a Vendor had offered us some suite tickets to the Falcons Ravens game. Of course I would take those. Knowing this phone does not get the best battery life, I made sure to have the phone fully charged before I departed. I left the office at 5pm with a full charge. Throughout the night I would send a txt here and there and take a photo, nothing too strenuous I thought. As the game was coming to an end I looked down and saw that the phone was already in the yellow, not terrible since it should last me till I get to the car. I’m not thrilled because this means the phone charge has only lasted 6 hrs. I get off the mass transit station and go for my car key…..and it’s not there. I check all my pockets to find nothing. I am now screwed. No car, no phone, no charger. To cut the story short, I had to find a payphone (needle in a haystack) and call collect to my father, who has the only spare key. Needless to say he was not too please coming down at 2 am to get me out of the jam. I am just so furious that the phone died so quickly on me. It seems if I ever go out at night, if I’m not near a charger, that phone is dead within hours. Sorry for the rant, but its just the one major flaw about this phone. My old Tilt would last a couple days ( I know I know, small screen low processor) But a solid day out of these phones would be nice.
[Captivate General] ua549:
Do you manage the battery consumption by turning off unneeded features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi? Have you set the screen timeout to a few seconds of idle time? The display is the biggest consumer of battery power. Finally, when I know I'll be away from a power source for more than 6 hours, I put a fully charged spare battery in my pocket.

FYI the Galaxy S has one of the best batteries for a smart phone. With careful use and battery management, I routinely get 16 hours before a yellow warning.
[Captivate General] whiten0va:
I had much of your same problem in the first few weeks of having the captivate, prompting me to go buy two extra batteries and a charger off ebay ($10). I feel that upgrading to cognition 2.2 and using the task manager to stop facebook and such from always updating has saved a lot of life, and my phone will last a day to a day and a half on a single charge, so long as I put it into flight mode at night. then I just shut the phone down, switch out batteries, and turn it back on.
[Captivate General] Rizz67:
I have the screen set at the lowest possible brightness (11%). When i am out i never have bluetooth or wifi on. Perhpas there was a runaway app that was draining the battery. I have never gotten 16 hrs though. My max is about 12, and thats if i dont make any phone calls. You start making calls, it just kills the battery life on my phone. I did use to have a spare battery on my tilt, i might have to do the same with this phone.
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
It's most likely because your phone is not sleeping when the screen is off.

Download the "Spare Parts" app or just enter *#*#4696#*#* in your dialer and check out the "Battery History". If the Running % is almost full (around 80%-100%) during a day's use, your phone isn't sleeping when the screen is off which means battery is draining. Give it a reboot when that happens, but the known cause I've found was that WiFi causes this issue.
[Captivate General] shawn122:
Are you sure you weren't losing signal when you were in the arena? When you lose signal the phone constantly searches for a signal causing your battery you drain.

I know in arenas you don't get a strong signal...

Just a thought :)
[Captivate General] YoungGun821:
Turn on airplane mod when ur not really using your phone..
[Captivate General] david717:
I have a great battery life. Especially when not using HSUPA. Try deleting your battery stats.
[Captivate General] newter55:
I typically see 12 to15% per hour drain with constant use.... meaning display is on all the time and I am on internet, phone laying idle overnight... 1%/hr tops. I do have a nice signal at home though... ranges from –70 to –85 so the modem is not working hard at all.

Well i tried to use the debrand method which is working with X10 using the information provided by user pulpoff in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835457

I edited my build.prop file using his ro.semc.version.cust version but update service still did not allow me to update from 1.3.A.0.50 to .62 firmware. So obviously there are differencies between x10 and x8. We also do not have database with decrypted x8 firmwares yet and i am not sure if flashtool is also compatible with X8 (it is stated that it should work but i am not aware of anybody who tested it to X8 yet). If somebody is interested i can upload the files from my seus db folder to be decryptedi I have generic global firmware 1-.3.A.0.50 with following data from my build.prop.

ro.product.name=E15i_1241-3728

ro.semc.version.cust=1241-3728

ro.semc.version.cust_revision=R3A

Here is my software info:

phone software version:

1236-9291_1.3.A.0.50

Generic-user

file system version:

world-1-8_1.3.A.0.50

customization version:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulpoff:
If all you want is 1.3.A.0.62, keep your build.prop version at 0.50, than do update over SEUS with my country info.

I've done this a few times, also I have found nordic build.prop, but alas, X8 has no 2.1 update yet for nordic neither.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptun2:
Thank you for this information pulpoff. I will try again to update this way. Can you please post the details of nordic build.prop just in case we need it when the update is out.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptun2:
Using customization version 1241-3728 i managed to get the 1.3.A.0.62 update. This are some good news. At least when the update comes it will be easy to switch to the region where it is released first.

If you are interested in any particular language i can check if it is present or not. Both firmwares listed (1241-3728 and 1241-3708) seem to be generic world but i don't know what are the differencies in customization.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptun2:
If you debrand using my customization code you will make your phone software same as mine and so will get the update together with me. When the update appears we can always debrand to the region where the update is first released and update so do not worry about this.

Hi all,

I've tried to enter these details into the build.prop file:

ro.product.name=E15i_1241-3728

ro.semc.version.cust=1241-3728

Could you please post a step by step of what I need to change in order to get a different country firmware to my current as the one I have is from Middle East and therefore doesn't have the Market!!

CirclesMod is a UI modification for various ROMs on various devices.

Background

My parents tell me I was the kind of kid who would take everything apart and put it together again, or hook a model train power transformer up to a mini race car track and send the cars flying off the balcony. Being a former web designer, I couldn't keep my hands off the Android UI and I thought it'd be fun to create my own set of status icons, or whatever you'd call them. I wound up with something circular, simple and consistent...

Update policy

I'm not monitoring any ROMs, but

I do take requests

. Ask nicely and I'll probably make what you need, if I can :)

Screenshots

Gingerbread as seen on Oxygen 2.x

What you get

- WiFi signal. Four segments that turn on / off.

- Phone signal. Same idea as Wifi.

- Mobile data. Icons for connected / in / out / in+out.

- Vibrate / silent

- Battery indicator with percentages.

- Bluetooth icon for active / connected. (e.g. to the handsfree in my car)

All icon sets

Downloads

My primary focus these days (development-wise, that is) are my Market themes for the T-Mobile Theme Chooser, also known from CyanogenMod, Oxygen 2.1.6+, GingerVillain to name a few. The themes are available from the Market via the links / QRs below. These are the full, paid versions that I'll encourage you to get, of course, thus supporting my development, but there are also free, lite versions.

All other downloads are available here in my repository.

Feel free to request stuff, but search this thread before asking. If you're wondering if there's a version for the latest Oxygen build, you might search this thread for "Oxygen" and look at the newest posts ;)

Warnings and Disclaimers

I shouldn't have to state this explicitly, but better safe than sorry. You do this at your own risk! I have been flashing hundreds of different versions of my mods on my own devices without issues, but yes! Whenever you are changing settings and functionality on a level that requires you to reboot into recovery, you are running a non-zero risk of screwing something up. I accept no responsibility for any damage to your device, as a direct or indirect result of you using my modifications. We clear?

Prerequisites

Your must be rooted and have a custom recovery image installed. ClockWorkMod 3+ recommended. AmonRA works fine. If you don't know what this means, you should do a bit of reading first. Any information that you could possibly need on the subject is available in the Desire Android Development forum, or the corresponding forum for your device.

Having said that: Instructions

1. Do a nandroid backup of your current situation, so you can back to the way things were, if you want.

2. Download the zip that fits your ROM, and save it somewhere that's accessible from your custom recovery. Typically on your external SD card.

3. Reboot into recovery and flash it (and reboot, of course)
