[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
My service provider Cable&Wireless Panama uses 1900 band for 3G, but I NEVER, NEVER EVER get anything but EDGE data... ever.

I have my phone set to "GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode)" in Network settings, but I could choose one or the other.

Which should I pick? I don't know what's up, but I can never get 3G and I know that the Vibrant supports 1900, which they use for 3G.

They tell me that 3G should appear there as an option, (at least on the Galaxy S i9000 that they support, but it doesn't on the Vibrant.

:confused:

Can anyone give me some advice? I'm really stumped, because I was thinking it would work fine. I'm unlocked, Rooted, running Bionix-v but I've never been able to get anything but EDGE data and they say I should have 3G in most areas, but I've never even seen it once.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Not trying to be a jerk here, but are you absolutely sure your carrier uses 1900MHz for 3G specifically?

If you search for "List of UMTS networks" on Wikipedia, it lists Cable and Wireless as 850MHz. Another thread on androidforums.com titled "i9000 No 3G after update" talks about getting an i9000 working on 850MHz for Cable and Wireless.

Also, just to clarify, you are using the T-Mobile/American Vibrant?

Hope you figure it out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
Well, I was just on the line with them and asked specifically and two different reps (I tried twice) confirmed it was 1900 for 3G, so I do think it is.

They could be wrong, I guess, because most customer service reps are idiots throughout the world, but I don't know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
change your APN.

I bet it's set to epc.tmobile.com ;)

either that or it's set to internet
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reuthermonkey:
either it's the apn, or more likely: Cable & Wireless Panama are on 850.

http://www.wireless.att.com/travelguide/coverage/coverage_details.jsp?CIDL=591&MNC=CING

UMTS 850; GSM/GPRS 850
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
No, it's connnecting, and I get data via EDGE, as I said, the APN is correct:

apn01.cwpanama.com.pa

I just don't get any 3G signal... ever, but according to CW, I should if I use 1900, which the Vibrant supports.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reuthermonkey:
again, Cable and Wireless doesn't use 1900. They use 850.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
If you're stuck with the Vibrant, you might try Movistar? Looks like they might support both.

I know these aren't the answers you wanted to hear though. Sorry man.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
I appreciate the help, guys.

I still find it confusing that the phone they support officially (they sell the i9000 here for like $800US) is listed as supporting the same 3G bands as the Vibrant, including 1900, which they quoted to me twice, but somehow, my Vibrant won't connect to 3G, so probably they are just idiots, as usual.

I might have to go with another carrier. Problem is that CW is the cheapest, by almost half. I guess you get what you pay for.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euclides305:
Movistar 850 pana..no tienen 3g son puro bulls**t,

Digicel y Claro si estan levantando 3g con la banda 1900.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panama TJ:
Hey donalgodon, I got the exact same problem with my Nexus S, same provider, same network configuration. Did you figure it out? I sent you a pm, let me know.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
I was just reading this on Wikipedia.

In the bands section of T-mobile and thus their phones, 2g is supported by 850 and 1900. 3g is tied to 1700. I thought I had read it differently before but upon checking up on this once again (just now) that is what I have to offer. So I would assume if your carrier doesn't use 1700 for 3g then you would not ever get 3g.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reuthermonkey:
The Samsung Vibrant supports 3g on UMTS Bands I (2100), II (1900) and IV (AWS/1700).

If your carrier uses any of these bands for their 3g, you will get 3g.

If your carrier uses the 850 band for 3g, you will not get 3g.

Donalgodon's carrier uses 850. That's why it's not working.

I want to make an application that does video out while using the camera, but I'm not sure if the g-tablet will work since I don't have a dock yet. Can someone with one try running the camera app and see if it displays via the hdmi out while they are doing it? I've tried with my captivate and video out cuts out once the camera is activated.
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
the HDMI out on the dock outputs whatever is on the tablet screen to whatever you have it hooked up to, audio included. I use mine on my monitor all the time. Works the same with the camera running

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
I accidentally did a batt wipe of stats.. So now it's at 10% and stays there... the g/f has exact same phone (hero cdma).. If I put her battery in mine when its fully charged can I do batt wipe stats again in clockwork to get my battery working again??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
Just let your phone die, and do a full charge and you should be fine :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
You can rebuild your stats simply by letting your phone die and then charging it to full a couple of times. You actually wipe your batt stats every time you wipe to flash a rom because they are stored on /data/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
when it's plugged in I don't get the green status bar filling up like charging. Just stuck on a slight bit of green and the lightining symbol as charging.. gonna try letting it die and charge again like you said.. guess if all else fails i can try to use the g/f's battery later

Oh yes.. multiple times.. Still to no avail... brand new battery too. got it from sprint yesterday.. First Hero I rooted i was stupid by flashing the radio and reboot too soon so it bricked it.. gave me a new phone with the old battery.. battery dies so I went back and got the good one.. now thats bad. I had put cm6.1 on when I got the new phone back.. had noticed the tech guy removed my backup of the stock rom.. he noticed that I had rooted it to cm6.1.. D/l'd the stock rom and backed that up too.. had been running 2.1 all since I got the phone
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
Update.. All is well again.. g/f got home and used her batt to fix my F ups.. wiped and wiped again then flashed to stock ROM.. will recalibrate with stock ROM and flash CM after batt issue is done and fully charged.. Must have flashed CM wrong or at the wrong time with my batt level..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger61878:
Just an FYI, you need to calibrate with each ROM you flash, as the stats get wiped. :)

When charging the battery (after wiping battery stats and letting the phone battery discharge until phone shuts off) should you power the phone on after plugging it in or should you leave the phone powered off when fully recharging? Or does it not matter?

Charge to 100%

Short bug summary:

3g does often not work. Phone reboot or flightmode on and off is needed to regain 3g.

I am sure that it's really a bug and that I am not stupid. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2207

(just because I do not like to have a discussion about "there is just no reception")

This bug is really annoying.

I tried the suggestions given in the linked discussion, like deleting all APN, requesting APN settings again by carrier and save APN settings without having changed anything.

Nothing helped. Sometimes I even need a reboot. (At least the reboot always works.)

Someone else affected by this?

Have you found a more convenient fix?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] tAB120L:
Hi All,

I have a rather annoying problem with my Qtek S200.

It often do when someone tries to call me, the phone does not respond even though the other side of line is ringing properly. I do not see any incoming calls, missed calls, no sms about missed call, etc. Often a normal sms also not received.

When I return from a place with very poor signal to a normally covered place, the phone not connecting back to the network, the gsm part should be switched off and then back manualy.

ROM versions:

GSM 02.69.21

IPL, SPL 2.09.0001

OS 2.9.7.24

Does anyone has any idea what could be the solution? I've this problem from the begining. (2-3 years ago)

Thanks!

You need to keep that button pressed until you're really in the menu, you're probably releasing it too soon?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
Are you keeping the power button down all the way thru the boot process, if you're not, keep holding it from power down til it reboots and keep holding it until it should switch to the mgldr options menu.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Rickgig:
I use a wired headset all the time with my Tilt2 which crapped out on me (the phone not the headset) last week, the touch screen displays but no longer accepts input.

Got my replacement phone and FINALLY got everything loaded. WM 6.5 only it's the latest ROM and I had the previous version on the phone that died.

My problem is the wired headset isn't working like it did before. On the mic there is a button to simulate the send hard key on the phone. Press and hold it to activate Voice Command, tell it what to do and you know the rest.

Pressing the mic button does nothing at all. The phone shows the headset icon, the ear buds work and when I make/receive a call the mic works fine. Just the button doesn't work.

I haven't sent my old phone back yet which still works if you don't use the touch screen. Powered it up and plugged everything in and it works fine, push the mic button and voice command pops up.

I have checked as many settings as I could find but no luck.

The new phone has Vingo VoiceApp however I remapped the key to Voice Command and have no idea what this app can or can't do. Not sure I even need it.

That's it. Anyone got any ideas as to why the mic button works on the old phone and not the new? The USB adapter is the same one between the two and beyond that, I am lost.

Thanks!!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Rickgig:

Hello all,

I recently bought an HD2 again (after a rubbish galaxy S) and this time I installed android. (DFT stock desire rom)

everything works great, except for the following.

When I enter e number in contact in format 0475123456 or +32475123456 (belgian formats) and I call the number there is no problem.

but when I enter the SMS menu, and I press the call button he displays the number 32475123456, so not starting with 0 and not with +32 as it should be.

Now sometimes these SMS messages do not arrive at its destination. And when I call from out the SMS menu, I end up at a different location then the number I wanted to reach. Very strange, but mostly it is a fixed line number, and not a mobile number...

I think the 32475123456 number can be the problem that sometimes SMS messages do not arrive...

Can somebody think of anything this can be?
