[Captivate General] hacker01:
I can't comment on AT&T's service outside of Southern California, but from the extreme amount of AT&T hate posts, it seems like AT&T doesn't get good service anywhere but the coastal regions like California and New York, etc. The middle is the U.S. seems to be a huge area devoid of almost any kind of cell reception.

Anyway's I've been with 3 out of the 4 big providers (AT&T, Sprint, and Tmobile) and AT&T has been the best hands down. I lived in the Orange County/LA area and back in high school, my old Mytouch could consistently detect an AT&T signal whereas my Tmobile service went dead every time I went into a classroom. Verizon had some reception issues here and there and Sprint was worse. Tmobile's service is great outdoors in that area now due to their new HSPA+ network. I got 4 - 5 mbps down on a Mytouch which wasn't even a 4G phone, which beat Sprint's 4G speeds around there without even trying.

When I moved down to San Diego for college, the verdict was still pretty much the same. AT&T had the best signal. Verizon had some spotty areas, Sprint was decent, and Tmobile was even worse than back home. No HSPA+ for Tmobile down here and the same old stuff happened. Went into a building and the signal was gone.

Anyways, with AT&T, I get about 4 mbps down and 1.3 to 1.4 mbps up with full signal. Dl speeds drop to half of that with a bad reception but still good considering Sprint's 3G got 2 mbps down with full reception.

I guess my point is, how good your reception is really depends on your location. There isn't always a best (although arguably, there could be a worse *cough* tmobile) so just keep trying until you get a good provider (:
[Captivate General] Mr.Immaculate:
I travel a lot for work, all over the country and internationally a couple of times a year.

ATT service keeps up.

I have to get pretty far into the woods before I totally lose signal. If you're anywhere close to a highway or a population center you should be able to make a call just about anywhere.

Verizon might be a bit better, it's a pretty tight race, Sprint and T-mobile aren't even close.

I blame the iPhone for all the ATT hate.

Tried to flash my phone from 2.1 back to 1.6 and now it wont turn on... I can't get it into flash mode because I have a dodgy frickin' USB port on my phone...

I take the battery out, re insert it, press power button and it vibrates, flashes the led and then nothing.

Please help

Thanks in advance

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3sRtH4mmR:
Just reflash your phone. There are plenty of resources in this forum.

Try changing your USB cable first.

And I'm just wondering why you'd want to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.6.

If you're sure there's a problem with the USB connector on the phone then your best bet is to take it to your local SE support.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3X:
I cant get into flash mode! I was downgrading so i could take it back and get the USB Port repaired
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3sRtH4mmR:
In that case take it to Sony Ericsson's repair center as it is in its current state if you're certain the USB port is preventing the connection to the PC.
[Omnia II General] D33s0l4t0r:
A few days ago I bought a Omnia 2. I put some useful programs and everything was OK.

Today I noticed, that when someone calls me, it doesn't work vibration. Generally vibration works, ex. when I touch the screen. It works even as I get a text message. SR does't help. Uninstalled all installed programs - doesn't work. After the HR, it works. I threw a backup - doesn't work. I found a program VAlert, but on the Omnia's probably not working. What could it be and how to fix it?
[Omnia II General] sonhy:
I use phonealarm pro and enable call vibrate. Vibrates once when the call is connected and twice when the call ends. no need to hold call up to ear while dailing.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] cdma:
I would like to install a permanent DC power adapter for my INC. I have a cigarette adapter but I am tired of it being in the way. So I have tried two things. First of all just pulling the wires out of the adapter and hard wiring it in. Well the phone is smart enough to know that it is not the right one. Then I tried to hardwired the outer connectors in but the cigarette adapter knows that it is not hooked up correctly because the power seems to be more of an alternating current. It works it does not work. It works it does not work. So that method won't work either. Anyone know of an adapter out there I can use so that I do not have to plug into the cigarette lighter assembly?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tjamscad:
Did you take the car charger apart? It can't be AC power. There should be a ground and 12VDC going to your car charger. Buy a 12VDC female cigerat style adapter from the autoparts store and wire it to the back side of your current 12VDC source.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] DjCalvin:
I use this and havent had any issues.

Also, do you have a rear cigarette lighter? I have another one that is behind my center console where I have another one of those usb adapters where I can re-route the cables through the center console.

Anyways.. its only 2 wires.. a hot and a negative.. got is the middle of the lighter and the edges are ground.. inside the incredible adapter its the same thing.. red = hot, black = ground.. grab it before the fuse for safety.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tylerwagler:
Actually, when the car is running it is AC power. The alternator outputs a sine wave centered ~14.4V with an amplitude of ~28.8V peak to peak, so it bounces between 0 and 28.8 with an average of ~14.4V.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ufvj217:
I think this is the best solution. im going to do this, and maybe build a dock.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ptsmith24:
Doesn't the alternator provide current to the battery only? It is my understanding that all other devices (lighter outlets included) are DC at all times.

sent from my Droid incredible using the xda app
[Droid Incredible Accessories] RoboRay:
Varying between 0 and 28VDC would not be AC power... it would be pulsed DC.

The lighter and any additional AUX outlets should be seeing a near-steady DC voltage.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ptsmith24:
Pulsed dc = av? ;)

sent from my Droid incredible using the xda app
[Droid Incredible Accessories] worwig:
Lord no it does NOT do such a thing. Sure, internal to the alternator it is AC. And due to the internal resistance of the battery, there is some ripple.

But overall in the car, you will just see DC that is in the range of 12 to 14 volts.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] funiwant:
actually the alternator produces "alternating" current hence the name "alternator" and the rectifier bridge and other circuitry in the alternator outputs a regulated dc voltage.

I heard there are requirments for 2.3 gingerbread like a 1ghz processor do you think 2.3 will come to the htc hero cdma via XDA

Hopefully itll be ported to the cdma htc hero SOME how without lag

What do you guys think? Will the htc hero roms have 2.3 gingerbread?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stayclean:
Those "requirements" are not official, and probably not true. Who knows if we will see a port of any kind.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
I'm pretty sure that those required specs are bogus atm, I mean the amount of android phones without a 1ghz processor out weigh the ones with it. And Google just started getting headway on the fragmentation issue so why would they intentionally cause it again
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crankybot:
Overclock your processor and you should be able to run it fun.

Yes. Both aosp and CM have gingerbread ROMs for our heros. I've been running it since January :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] radeon_x:
Flashed from JH2 today, and so far so good.

I have never tried any of the other 2.2 releases, so compared to 2.1 I'm really liking a lot of the improvements... text selection, voice search, contact groups (gmail), Flash in browser, gmail client improvements, etc.

As for speed - I've reinstalled all my apps (not many - maybe 15), done the z4root, applied OCLF2.2, changed the scheduler to deadline+tweaks... the same setup as I was running on 2.1. I always thought 2.1 was pretty quick and I don't notice all that much difference in 2.2. Maybe a little smoother, but not by much. However, some apps like google maps for example, do seem a bit smoother in operation.

I set the browser plugins to on demand, and the browser speed is maybe a bit quicker. Although I don't like how the text re-flow has changed (it doesn't re-flow to whatever zoom level you're at any more, I don't think).

On the Bell side of things, I left by band selection to automatic (instead of locked to 850) and no freezes so far in any of the known problem areas that caused consistent freezing. So that's good news. GPS seems better. Lock to within 10m really quickly even when indoors now. Will have to do some driving tests. Call quality seems the same as before - good.

Definitely a nice upgrade overall, especially if you've never used 2.2!

Hello, I need your help, I have already flash my I9000B with this firmware, everything seems to be ok, but the only problem I have is with the touch screen that stop working 2 second after reboot, is really weard, just only the physical buttons are still responding, the back and the home too, but all the screen unresponsive to touch.

I have had the same issue with others firmware, just only with my 2.1 eclair works.

Thank´s in advance for your help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frandromeda:
This is what happened to mine directly after flashing this firmware. I flashed JH2 with heimdall to try to restore, but no luck, so I took it back to Bell and they've sent it in for repair. I kind of wish I'd tried flashing JH2 with Odin though, as heimdall won't repartition.

At this point, you've got nothing to lose, so why not try repartitioning with Odin and then flashing stock JH2. If it doesn't work, well you've got to send your phone back in for repair, but at least you'll have the stock firmware on there for warranty purposes. If it works, youv'e got a working phone!

Oh, and let me know how it goes. I'm curious to see if I prematurely shipped mine away...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ap27:
Repartitioning leads to the same error. I guess it really is dead. Time to take it to Bell
[Galaxy S I9000 General] frandromeda:
My condolences man. If you've had the phone for less than 30 days, Bell will give you a new one on the spot. If not, you'll be one of many who are waiting for their fixed SGS to come back from repair.

But your post gives me a little comfort, in that I know that there's nothing else I could have done to save the poor little guy...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] frandromeda:
I booted successfully, once. When it tried to scan for media, I saw an sdcard corrupt message, and then the phone froze. This was the beginning of the end. I pulled the battery and rebooted, and I got a blank screen with the backlights behind the capacitive buttons on. I managed to reboot into recovery, tried to format the filesystem, and got the (no such file or directory) error.

I figured that the sdcard might be borked, but I tried flashing with UGJH2 as I could still get into download mode. After that, the phone was totally hooped, and I couldn't get past the boot screen...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Felixpau86:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
When did you purchase the phone? Take it to Bell and tell them it won't boot up "for some reason". I'm pretty sure your internal sd card is f'd.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robbiev80:
I've been running Froyo JK3 rooted since last night with no issues. I've noticed the battery life is a lot better than JPM. My GPS was already working with JPM but I notice that this rom makes it even more accurate.

I flashed 2 other galaxy's for a couple of co-workers (no issues) today but I noticed that they

had apps called "car home" and "desk home".

These never appeared when I flashed mine yesterday.

Any thoughts?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] got_milk:
People coming from non-Bell ROMs (a.k.a. not JH2) tend to have incorrect carrier customizations applied. Make sure that your CSC is set to BMC, if not, you can set it (losing all apps and data excluding what's on the SD card) but you'll get Car and Desk Home.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] frandromeda:
Yah, I'm pretty sure it's toast too. Of course it fried on the 31st day, leaving me not eligible for Samsung's 30 day DOA return policy.

Funny story though: When I took it back to Bell, the sales rep asked me if I'd updated my "software." Like the practiced liar that I am, I answered no with a straight face. "That's your problem," she said, "there's been a software update. I'll bet all they're going to do at the repair shop is install new software." There are many things about this statement that are complete BS, but I didn't argue, since she was hurrying up to get my phone onto that day's purolator shipment...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrCeddy:

Just upgraded to this firmware from a stock JH2. I had unlocked my phone to use it on the Rogers network.

I read somewhere that it was preferable to remove the SIM card before flashing to a new firmware, so I did that. Upon rebooting (w/o the SIM card) everything was fine and very snappy.

I then rebooted with the SIM card inserted and it asked me for a network unlock code! Hmmm, looks like the phone is not unlocked anymore ?!

Any sugestions? How should I go about unlocking it again with this firmware?
