I live north of atlanta just outside of the perimeter.... i have never seen HSDPA on my phone. Is there something wrong with my phone? It's always on UTMS but i get an average speed of 4.5mbps-5mbps. The highest i've ever seen on my phone is 8mbps. :confused:
[myTouch 4G General] :
Your gettin the speeds. You just said it yourself. Sounds like your possibly on an old ROM or the dev hasn't updated the framework to display hsdpa speeds. I know mine shows umts mostly, but hsdpa often.. the towers are more south of perimeter where i am.. towards the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Yeah what's the deal with the unstable HSPA on this phone? I have a buddy who has a G2, he consistently gets about 8Mbps over here and I saw FOUR for the first time today - usually its about 7-800 and sometimes its as low as 50 or 60 - my friend is my roommate and he is always having no issues with his speeds.

We'll see if it changes when I get my G2x - another thing is that I was at a restaurant today and got 8 down, 2.2 up... then suddenly went down to 800kbps down, 2.1 up, then back to 7 down, 2.1 up, then it dropped down to 3Mbps and wouldn't go higher. I was connected to the same tower the entire time according to Open Signal - it has to be an issue with the phone. I've heard the MSM8255 has problems with its HSPA radio and that seems to be the case since my Inspire 4G had the same damn issues too!
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
Maybe send it in for a replacement
[myTouch 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Already am - the brand spanking new G2x. I'm pretty much over Qualcomm chips and HTC. I would hold out for the Sensation but I just signed up for my T-Mobile service on the 13th so I'm within my 14 days to return.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
Ahh, I'd get an instore replacement on your mytouch 4g, so you'll have a working "new" mytouch 4g in case you wanna sell it down the road.
[myTouch 4G General] s10shane:
in my area which is hesperia, ca i only get 1mbps download and upload 1.5mbps.. which is sad cause tmobile said i only have 2g in my area.. lol but at&t gets about 2mbps down and same as upload.. but in norco, ca i get around 5mbps and 1.50 mbps upload.. here is my pic when i had 4g in norco, ca...
[myTouch 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I'm doing a device swap entirely.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
As in the 14 day switch?
[myTouch 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
Indeed. The interesting thing is that I went to a friend's house and got an absolutely amazing speed test result running a 50MB test - 11.9Mbps!!:

But here at home, I'm lucky to break 1Mbps while my roommate and two neighbors with T-Mo G2's get an average of 7... I even found out we are using the same tower by identifying the CID with Open Signal... Its the weirdest thing. If the G2x does it when it gets here, I'm just going to deal with it and use wifi at home.

And that 11.9 was not just a fluke... I ran the test three times at 50MB and got 9.9, 11.1, and finally 11.9. Pretty much maxed out the actual possible speeds on a 14Mbps HSPA modem! But I also had a number of tests that were in the 5-7Mbps range. Either way, something is fishy.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
Woah! T-Mobile said the mytouch 4g has "average download speeds approaching 5mbps with peak avg. speeds of 12mbps". So I guess you're getting peak speeds!

T-Mobile isn't making sense in their marketing though, they basically said 5-12mbps when they said that. Why can't they say "comparable speeds to Verizon 4G LTE" because VZW claims 5-12mbps on a loaded network. Instead they said 3x faster than Verizon's 3g(for some reason they're using VZW as an example). So they're comparing EVDO theoretical speeds with 14.4 HSPA modem speeds? i.e. 4mbps*3 = 12. But its still bad marketing.

[myTouch 4G General] _ice_:
lol we have **** coverage I live in the North west houston area. and max I got was 3 mbps... we don't have full 4g rolled out as of yet :| even though our city is one of the first major areas that tmobile claimed to have rolled out 4g to.
[myTouch 4G General] :
Getting sh!tty upload this last two weeks. It's odd. Test is very gappy and choppy while loading. Doesn't look to hot. Download is totally 5-6 mbps solid.

Speed test.

Here is a speed test i took on my phone that has to be HSPA but i think royalginger radio signal status indicator is messed up. This does not bother me at all though because it is a fantastic run. But i consistently run these speeds and it makes me very happy!:)
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
I get average speeds of about 4mbps down, .8-1 up. I just got this phone a few hours ago, so I don't know enough to judge it so far...I'm happy though. Double to triple the speeds is good to me. :D
[myTouch 4G General] Shaddy-Z.:
I've never gotten above 1.7 mb down and .6 up. Is there something wrong with my rom? I'm on the Evil- HD rom with faux's latest kernel. Why is everybody getting faster speeds than me -_____-"

I'm also in the DFW/fort worth texas area :/

My name is neidlinger and I assfuck darinmc and TeeJay3800 up their asshole and they like it like that yaa babby they like like that.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
Those are 3G HSPA(not HSPA+) speeds...is your phone showing an H in the status bar? The H means HSPA(7.2mbps ceiling on phone and network) AND HSPA+(14.4mbps ceiling on phone, 21mbps on network) So you could just be connected to HSPA. Try going to an area definitely covered with strong 5 bars of hspa+ (check the coverage website) and see if your speeds improve. Or it's your rom, but i doubt it..
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Thanks for telling us where you were.

Oh my god..........
[myTouch 4G General] Shaddy-Z.:
For some reason I never see H anymore? And on the website it says I have "excellent" 4g connection. I might flash a new rom tonight.
[myTouch 4G General] ravneetg:
Getting nice HSPA speeds on my myTouch 4G, running RoyalThunder ROM (thats why the 3G icon up there...not the regular H)
[myTouch 4G General] el_smurfo:
All you folks should be on your knees, saying thanks for the data rates you get. I get H all around town, but rarely get above 200k unless I get right down by the freeway, then I might get 800k on a clear day. Before you blame the phone or ROM, the wife's G2 and my former MT3G do about the same. Even Verizon folks around here only really get 1M on their best Android phones. Small markets suck.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
Maybe flash a rooted stock rom? You'll retain root but you can check if its not having a stock rom that is creating the problem. That way you can be sure if its a device or software or tower issue.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
haha not my house but close. i didnt even have GPS on so it must have just been a proximity
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
I'm getting a free new courtesy sim card, maybe that will fix my HSPA+ connection..
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
I never said that was your house. And i just said thanks for telling us where you were....meaning you may or may not be there anymore.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:

I hate to bust your bubble but that web site is HORRIBLE for actual results.
[myTouch 4G General] carrrnuttt:
And the Speedtest app is horrible on my phone. Speedtest measures my WiFi at 5-6Mbps tops and even goes to 2Mbps, when it's a 20Mbps connection. On my laptop, even while streaming Netflix in HD to my TV, I can measure 13Mbps.

Any recommendations?

EDIT: Also, I ran the test while my co-worker ran the exact same one on his Droid. He was right within his Speedtest results, and that app has no issues on his phone.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Tethering, via USB.

That's just my 2 cents
[myTouch 4G General] carrrnuttt:
I've gotten 8.x Mbps using testmy.net while on Wi-Fi tethering. I usually don't USB tether, but I'll try that when I get the chance tonight.
[myTouch 4G General] michael2041:
I say I average about 6mbps. Never goes lower than 3, never seen higher than 10. Usually 1.3 is my upload speed but I've seen 2mbps. Imo its the best 4G network because its the 2nd fastest and largest.
[myTouch 4G General] Cubs2008:
I usually get around 7 meg down and 5 up on the speed test app. If I use speakeasy's website I get on average 18 down and 4 up.

I'll be happy if it's consistently in the middle of that.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
i noticed this morning the internet was flying so i did a quick test. highest result ever

Yea i was seeing super high Upload speed earlier today as well.

I typically do not use the "speed test app" but just to throw it out there....i've been getting between 1.27Mbps up and 2.56Mbps up.

Im located in Hendersonville NC which has some 4g coverage. Best I've seen is about 7 down and 1.7 up :)

I'm currently in Riverside, CA where I can only pick up HSDPA/3G signal with speeds hovering around 900kbps/1300kpbs down. Hopefully they can roll out 4g very soon as that would be awesome seeing those blazing fast speeds :D
[myTouch 4G General] GolfnWrx:

At work, I can get consistent 8-9mbps down/2-3mbps up...my boss ran a speed test on his phone and hit almost 16mbps down (may have just been standing in a lucky spot)

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kakemix007:
Hello all,

I can get the game to install fine (following directions of course) but when the game loads, the text is unreadable (sprites are gone).

Most of the game's objects seem to not have installed or are not propperly called by the game...

Has anyone experienced this? Is there any way to get this to work properly? Thanks.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thaigai:
better luck than me

I have tried to install most of the gameloft games with little success. what method are you using to install them?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] akodoreign:
Yeah, I have yet to get my gameloft games to load. :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] kakemix007:
I've sideloaded a version with little success... and i downloaded a version from market which worked. I installed it (with wifi turned off and airplane mode turned on) and then turned airplane mode off before opening it. Everything loads and you thing the game is going to actually work but as soon as the menu pops up you cannot read any of the words.

After clicking around I was able to get into the game world and could only see some things as must were bad objects.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] KushyMansbridge:
Hey im not sure becuase i havent tried it, but when you unmount the sd card (external) in the settings and then install an app it helps. This is the fix or hack for getting angry birds to work. but install from the market.

So thats go to settings -> storage -> sdcard -> unmount sdcard

then go to market, install your game

then go back to settings and remount the sdcard

then load up the game.

hope that helps.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mmracing:
Anyone have any luck getting this game to install and play correctly on their GTablet?

I went to the market and could not find it with my GTablet or my Droid 1 so I believe it has been removed from the Market. I did find it on Gameloft's web site and they have it for android but I'm afraid to get it only for it not to run properly.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mmracing:
Still no luck for anyone on their GTablet? I played it on my daughters iPod touch and looked like it was a good game.
[Defy General] :
I have recently bought the sim free Motorola Defy in the UK as my first ever smartphone. I did spend a great deal of time researching and concluded Motorola Defy was the best price/performance for me. I'm very pleased with my decision now.

During my research I understood the handset has a Task Manager tool pre-installed. I can also see references about it in the user manual and on Motorola's web site as well but I cannot see it listed under the Application menu list or any where else.

I'm wondering now if all UK version of Motorola Defy missing the Task Manager or not.

Can you confirm your UK Motorola Defy was shipped with the pre-installed Task Manager on either T-Mobile or the unlocked version please?
[Defy General] disturkis4u:
Have tmo version and i have it pre-installed
[Defy General] :
Thank you for your reply. Would you say the Task Manager is Motorola's or developed by another vendor that I can download from Market app for free?

I'm really puzzled why my handset's ROM is different. My handset's build number is jRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 and kernel version 2.6.29.
[Defy General] scrannel:
I'm on USA T-Mo: have the same kernel but build # is: JORDN_U3_6.19.0 Under help there is a link: www.motorola.com/staticfiles/support/experiences/performance_manager/US/US.htm

But it only links through the phone.
[Defy General] disturkis4u:
Its motorola. Here

http://db.tt/aqjzaDO
[Defy General] :
Thank you for your response. What the link is for please?
[Defy General] disturkis4u:
Task manager .apk
[Defy General] :
Thank you again.

There are dozens of apps called Task Manager on Android Market. My main concern is to find out if my ROM is different or not.
[Defy General] :
I have tried to install it without a success. It did appear it was packaged by Motorola. Don't understand the reason behind this by Motorola.
[Defy General] james2115:
Same here - AUS DEFY, fails to install - no error code.
[Defy General] scrannel:
A Motorola rep on one of their forums recommended it be used sparingly as many programs will just try to restart again as soon as they are killed. I had a bunch of apps in the kill area and it really slogged my phone down. I only have two now and phone responds as new again.
[Defy General] Homesicktexan:
I'm not an expert by any means but I was under the same impression about task managers being useless as Android is more efficient when left to manage it's own processes. That's why I'm surprised motorola included this app on the defy. I had it on my Cliq running 2.1 as well. Can any devs actually weigh in a tell us if task managers help with performance and/or battery life?
[Defy General] Step666:
If that's the case, why has a Task Manager been added to Gingerbread?

Google themselves have added a task manager to the OS, surely that's conclusive evidence that they are at the very least not unnecessary and arguably are needed.
[Defy General] scrannel:
There are a couple of apps that I downloaded from the market that do consume battery if left running: co-pilot appears to be one. So I have that on my list to kill when the screen times out. And it apparently does not reload unless I load it. So, perhaps in certain cases. Try it, I found using it slowed my phone down a lot.
[Defy General] caraboy:
Can you please reupload the file? I cannot download it from dropbox. :(

Task manager should not be missing form any phone, too bad they did not include it in the European Rom.
[Defy General] Mihailov88:
When i bought my motorola (central europe) european rom , out of the box it was 1. deblured , 2. without task mangager

version 2.34.1

firmware 2.1-update 1

it really sucked...

now i am with 2.2 froyo

3.4.3. uk blur and its all fine

[G2 and Desire Z General] Ramsfan_Jim:
My new HTC Desire Z arrived today, I've been Windows Mobile all my life until now.

So any quick hints on 'must have' programs?

I want to get as close to the functionality I have on my Touch Pro 2 (NRG'ed up) - so could really do with:

- Audible

- TomTom (or least a Sat Nav that will use my purchase TT Nav 7 maps)

- File Explorer

- Backup program

- Anything to edit playlists etc.

- cool games!

Any other advice gratefully received!

I do intend to 'root' my phone in the near future, but I want to get used to it first...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ravrahn:
TomTom - Google Maps Navigation is free and (I think) comes standard. It ought to work most of the time. If you need the offline navigation, I think HTC offers that for a premium as part of their maps expansion whatsit. I also hear that TomTom is coming to Android sooner or later, but AFAIK it isn't there yet. There's plenty of apps, like CoPilot, that have offline navigation, but I doubt you could use TomTom maps you've purchased on them.

File Explorer - Lots of options. Probably the best is Astro File Manager, which has a free, ad-supported version and a paid version. There's also some paid apps that let you explore root folders once you've rooted.

Backup program - Titanium Backup backs up applications and other such things without root, and does some more, I think, with it. In the recovery menu after rooting you can make a perfect backup of the whole system onto your microSD card, and restore it to exactly how it was when you did the backup, with the 'nandroid' backup option.

Playlists - The stock music app can be used to make playlists, edit the order of the songs, add and remove songs, etc. I've found (on my Legend, at least) that it doesn't get them in the right order, but there are some alternative music apps, like MixZing, that do. MixZing also lets you edit and create playlists.

Games - Games that are originally from iOS, such as Angry Birds and Doodle Jump, are fun, Angry Birds especially, and I hear Pocket God is on Android now, too. There are some good non-port games, too, like Trap, where you need to draw lines to trap moving balls in small areas, and my personal favourite, Solitare. There's heaps of games in the Games section of the market, just look around and try them out to find ones you like.

I'm afraid I can't help with Audible as I'm not familiar with it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
The HTC Locations app (built-in to the Desire Z) comes with some maps already, depending on where you are. If you've got a UK phone then it will have maps for GB, Ireland and France. However, navigation is an option that it makes you pay for (as is getting more maps, traffic data, speed camera alerts etc). Alternatively you can use the free Google navigation, as has been said.

According to this HTC press release, the HTC Locations maps are from TomTom :

Give me your opinions?
[HTC Aria General] mikelebz:
I've never used any of the liberateds, but overclocked at 825 on RC1 and RC2 I get a day out of my battery give or take depending on use
[HTC Aria General] brswattt:
Got any battery saving settings besides the normal obvious ones?
[HTC Aria General] mikelebz:
Honestly the only thing I do to conserve battery is not leave the gps and wifi on when I am not using them. The only thing I purposly do to save battery is underclock when I am running low on battery while I am at work, for instance.
[HTC Aria General] jbizz:
I am running CM RC2, and I am overclocked to 806. I have been paying attention to the battery the last couple of days, and it seems once it hits below 50% it starts going down even quicker. I have it set to On Demand that when it hits 50% it drops to 400. I was sending some texts, just texts, and it dropped from 45 to 39 in less than 5 mins. I'm going to test again tomorrow and take some of my widgets off of the screen.

Granted, I do have my screen on at 100% all times, and I listen to music half of the day during work. Things that I am not going to do during testing.

:)
[HTC Aria General] barisahmet:
I cant use CM for some wi-fi reasons (thread @ aria android development forum). Anyways, I use Liberated and I get estimated full battery life 27½ hours (with wifi, sense sync, facebook and twitter always on.)
[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
And how many texts and phone calls is that with? I guarentee if you sent more than 50-100 texts and made about 15 calls each about 5-15/min ea you're battery wouldn't last near that long LOL!

Let's face it, this thing SUCKS the battery life!
[HTC Aria General] mikelebz:
I don't know what qualifies as "sucks", but I have no issue charging the phone every night. As long as I get a full day out of it, I'm happy. It's not like I'm doing anything better with the phone while I'm in bed.
