[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nexus14:
it is a hardware limitation. your UK hd2 does not support t-mobile's 3G bands. therefore, you will not get 3G speeds from t-mobile.

t-mobile does not implement a speed limit on their data plans; their grandfathered plans ranging from $3 data plans go just as fast as the current $30 data plans.*
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
I have a T-MOUS branded HD2 with the $10 web2go plan, using internet2.voicestream.com APN. I cannot get T-Mob's HSPDA+ (4G) because it's hardware limitation, I believe only the G2 and Mytouch 4G are capable of HSPDA+ on T-Mobile.

My HD2 with Android gets HSPDA (3.5G) just fine. The speeds vary tremendously depending on my location. There's one particular spot in my town where I ran a several speedtests and consistently got 3.2 Mbps download and 1.5 Mbps upload. But for most locations, I get only around 1.2Mbps download and 1.4Mbps upload. And inside my house, where's mainly a deadzone for data, I only get Edge which is around 200Kbps download and 350Kbps upload.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dimension2035:
My HD2 is the same way. I used to get 3Mbps, but one day I lost 3G for a day, the next day it came on and was slow. I would get 0.43Mbps on speed test. It would never go above 1Mbps, unless I go 3 blocks away from my home, I would get up to 5Mbps. Back at my house it would go back to 0.06Mbps-1Mbps. This has been happening for ever since OCT 26 2010.

From OCT 26 to now I have been using Tmobile Data as my ISP. Thought since they have a very fast network that can go up to 21Mbps and only at $25 I will go and get the USB PC stick, but from what has been happening I decided to remove the data plan from my phone because it was worthless and too slow to even watch videos. They have told me that their are issues in some states were you may not even get any data or voice. But its taking them too long to fix. I'm gonna wait about 2 months before I go back, hopefully they have the issue resolved.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemonspeakers:
OMG! really?

So I can get 4G speeds with the G2 on the grandfather $5.99 Web2Go Plan?

What is stopping me from getting a G2 off contract and popping my SIM (which currently have Web2Go) into the phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Buying the G2 off contract, probably?

In all honesty, I think this 4G is way overrated. HSPA supports up to 14mbps, that's almost 2 megabytes per second. That's about the max speed I get with my broadband connection at home.

I can't even tell the difference between surfing on WiFi or 3G, because the browser is obviously the bottleneck which slows things down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
All of T-Mob's Android phones are locked by IMEI, so I don't think your data plan will not work. When you try to use data, it'll say you have to upgrade your data plan.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemonspeakers:
Oh really? Then what phones CAN use t-mobile's 4G in america?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
T-Mob G2 or MyTouch 4G. But when you get those phones, you have to upgrade your data plan. I don't think your $6 tzone will work with those phones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Conflikt Icey:
this question may come across a bit noobish but I'm using the UK HD2 on Tmob UK and getting 3G speeds so I'm unable to understand what you mean by it's a hardware limitation of the HD2 UK to get 3G speeds. Unless Tmob US works differently?

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
Hi everyone,

I just updated my Aria to FR007 and really want to have a 'brand new' phone look + feel.

I would like to delete ALL unnecessary files in the SD card & phone memory cos at the moment, I feel like something is not amiss.

I only have

574mb

left out of the stock 2gb SD card. And my internal phone storage have only

132mb

available space left.

I would like to save only my

nandroid backup

in the SDcard and nothing else. So deleting all other datas like saved apps, games, contacts, images, music and others are fine.

Please advice what procedure I need to follow as I am not familiar with what files are safe to delete. Is it safe to just do this:

Settings > SD & Phone Storage >Factory Data Reset ?

Thank you for your advice!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thundervore:
I would like to know this as well because out of a 8GB SD card (7.59GB) i only have 549MB remaining and i only have 1 nandroid back up and 3 GB of music on the phone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelacNongaw:
That's a loaded question dependant upon what apps are installed. Many apps create folders and populate the sd card in some form.

Best I can tell you, mount the storage and copy the sd content to your computer. Erase the sdcard content and see what happens after reboot. Should only potentially bother 3rd party apps.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
Thanks for the advice BelacNongaw.

I thought about that too but I was thinking maybe there are some system files or essential files that MUST be in the SD card. And also, wouldn't deleting everything in the SD card also delete my nandroid backup? And Clockwork? <-They do reside in the SD card, yes?

Let me reiterate please: I want a 'brand new' phone while keeping only my last nandroid backup :D Will a factory reset do?

Thanks again everyone!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjtulowiecki:
I had the same problem and the only thing I noticed was nandroid backups take a lot of space and also apps that have been deleted keep their folders in the sd card
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
Okay this is what I did:

1. Back up my SDcard to the computer (plug it in, mount as disk drive, copy all contents to a folder on the desktop).

2. Restart the Aria in Recovery mode (Vol. down while Power up)

3. Go to Recovery > Partitions > Format SD Card

Now I have 1.84gb of SD storage with these folders (viewed in Astro):

1. .footprints / thumbnails / voices

2. LOST.DIR

3. tmp / .astro / astro

Haven't tested everything yet but eBuddy and Market are doing well, downloading and app installation are running fine too.

Now I'm quite concerned about the following:

1. Does this mean that I do not have clockwork anymore? Because there was a 'clockworkmod' folder in the SDcard before I formatted it.

2. Am I screwed?

Thank you for any suggestions/advice. I hope this thread can offer some helpful tips to those who need it in the future.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelacNongaw:
You are fine. The clockworkmod folder is where rom manager downloads and your nandroid backups are stored. You can just copy it back or rom manager will generate it again next time you nandroid backup.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigre:
Thanks for reminding me BelacNongaw.

I just made a nandroid backup of my bare minimum Aria, and it automaticall created a clockworkmod folder in the SDcard with the md5 file.

Anyways, it's great to have all these space now :D
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastatlast:
Great post guys I was wondering this myself. I recently rooted my inspire 4g to factory restore but all 3rd party apps are still on the sd card and i have no intention of re-installing any of them so i am looking for a safe way to delete unnessesary folders without deleting the vital ones, ill give your suggestions a try.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CallMeAria:
Technically you can safely delete everything that's on the sd card. Android will automatically create whatever folders it needs. Of course you'll lose any data saved to the sd, but you wont mess up your phone at all.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amogil:
i have a g2 but i have the same thoughts i want the space back from sd card not worried about loosing any thing just dont want to mess the phone up
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smiles.smiley:
Don't worry. SD card is totally an external of the phone. Delete everything, it doesn't matter. And backup your needed files to any place you like. You can move them back to your reformatted SD card whenever you like.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmartiuk:
So just when i think my phone is inbrickable and i have flashed like 7 roms. All types of kernels and im running macnut r13 with the ulf which i love by they way. All is well i have a **** load of nandroid backups and roms and kernels on my sd. Then i tried to flash a theme the black froyo theme which is not compatible atleast not with mine anyway. I flashed it and my phone would just boot into a black screen so i booted into recovery tried to flash a backup and nope nothing happens. Then i try to flash another rom and no go i forget what is was saying but noting is working. I tried a factory reset from ulf recovery and nothing there either. Anyone got any ideas or am i stuck using odin to head back to stock also is flashing back to stock going to wipe my sd internal or external.

When i try to restore it says restoring system fine then is says data.img not found skipping restore then it says android_secure.img not found skipping sd.ext not found skipping. Then is says cant open /cache/recovery/log and cant open CACHE:recovery/log any help would be great.

and when i try to install another rom it goes through the process then says failure at line 12: copy_dir package:data DATA: installation aborted.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icandy75:
Time to break out Odin. Just load up JFD, get your phone into download mode and let Odin do it's thing. This way you get a fresh start. From there reroot and install anything you wish.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Guys,

I have recently started to have an issue with pulling the Notification Bar down.

Occasionally (and for no apparent reason) when I attempt to pull down the window it opens just a fraction with only the bottom grey part of the window showing.

No matter what I do I can not get it to open fully. The only course of action is to reboot the phone which then clears the problem.

Any ideas what is going on here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metadan:
I have also noticed this behaviour and wondered about it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nefelodamon:
Hello,

I get that as well from time to time. Only way to display the bar is to go in the main screen, press the menu button and sellect 'Notifications'.

Hope it will be fixed soon as it is really anoying bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Thanks for the tip... Forgot all about the Menu/Notification. I'll try it the next time it happens. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the-bink:
I have the same problem. I cannot, or only partially, pull down the notification bar. Menu -> notifications still works. It started 2 dags ago after i used Samsung's own RAM manager to clear level1 and level2 memory. First time I ever used this feature, and will also be the last. :mad: A reboot does not solve my issues.

Is there a way to clear notification bar cache, or the notification bar settings? This information must be stored somewhere, similar to that of other apps? :confused:

/edit

Yes, I also use launcher Pro.

On another note, after removing the battery when the phone was still on (so no proper shutdown) the problem disappeared.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rand0m:
hi,

could it be you guys are using launcher or launcher pro? I had the very same behaviour and installed adw launcher, wanted to compare those two anyway ... since I had installed adw launcher and used it the problem vanished ... so I assume its a problem of launcher pro ...

Only got to experience this once after 2.2 update. No apparent in 2.1. Here are my other observations. It does not pull down on portrait, but does on landscape. I am also using Launcher Pro, not sure if same thing happens if I am on TwLauncher. I installed z4mod lag fix thinking this has something to do with Samsung's programming. Haven't encountered it since. I would die if I would. LOL.

I just noticed that even after the z4mod lag fix, my Galaxy S is still not top notch in snappiness--lags from time to time, but way worst before the lag fix, phone was bordering useless due to how many times it froze. Kinda of irritating seeing that my X10, a much cheaper and technologically lesser phone, does not have this problem. I hope Samsung gets their act together as this phone has so much potential. :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
I encounter the same issue once in a while, on stock froyo official update. Using launcher pro and zeam. Read somewhere that some apps that appear on the notification bar may cause the issue, so I've uninstalled them. Mines sticks whether in portrait or landscape format, and I believe after a notification appears. Shutting off and turning on doesn't always help but the problem usually goes away after a few days. :(

This update FUBARed my VM. I had to wipe all data to get it to work again, and if I apply the update, it breaks again. Any way to get rid of the "Mandatory Update" prompt?

Update - Just got off of the phone with Sprint. Tier 2 escalations support manager syas they have seen several EVOs loose VVM and VM indicator after applying the "Mandatory Update". Rep told me to not apply it and ignore the message. Also said there is no way to remove the message.

I complained about this today, and received a $10 credit.
[EVO 4G General] n3x1s:
I posted this solution in another thread also. My friends phone is rooted and running Fresh 1.0.1. I'm assuming that its because Fresh signed this ROM so the signature doesnt match for the new mandatory VM update. Try this and see if it works:

Feel free to uncheck this after the update, or if the update still fails. (If you are paranoid about having that enabled)
[EVO 4G General] colorado_al:
Thanks, but that isn't the fix to my problem. I always allow unknown sources for install. The VVM update will install, it just won't authenticate with the server.

[EVO 4G General] pixelpop:
Speaking of voice mail to text, I discovered somethin g the other day that's kind of neat. If you send an SMS to a land line number, it will ring the phone and, if answered, a computer voice will read the SMS. If the phone goes to voice mail, the same voice reads the SMS to voice mail. Pretty cool...and I don't think there is a fee for the service.

Do you want the convenience of using your Windows Phone 7 as a storage device of sorts?

1. Open the registry editor on your PC by typing regedit in your Start menu

2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB; search for ZuneDriver

Now you will modify three entries (note, if you have multiple WP7 phones, you have to do it for each one)

* Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1

* Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0

* Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1

Reboot.

You can ONLY use Folders that were created with the ZUNE Software (but it´s better than nothing)

Found this instruction on "intomobile.com" (No permission to post the outside link).

Worked fine with Windows7 and my HTC Mozart (You have to close the ZUNE Application on your PC!).
