Was this 4G in the park? I can barely get 4g to work whenever I am there. I usually get around 300k down and 80k up (vague numbers from memory). Barely usable, but better than the 3g when I can get a signal. Were you there when almost no one else was at the park so you were the only one using the network? I always assume that is my problems when I am there, just too many thousands of other people killing the network.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robman62:
im on 2.1 rooted already with that one click root, I am a little afraid to flash a custom rom because my phone never boots to the Clockwork recovery form the rom manager I have to manually shut it off then press the buttons to get it going.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] August23rd:
To save you from the 3 finger salute to get to recovery you can always install "Quick Boot" (it's free) from the market so you can reboot directly into recovery.

Alternatively if you want to do it the longest way and have some sort of terminal installed, I like Better Terminal (not free) on the phone you can open that up an type

su
reboot recovery

Once you type su (super user) it will ask you to allow root privileges, say yes

the $ turns to a # (indicating you are now running in root mode.) then run the command.

Hit power button and reboot into recovery and you should voodoo as an option and make sure it is enabled and it should convert when you reboot remember to disable when you flash something new

reboot into recovery when it reboot comes up (like you are going to install a rom,etc.) in that, menu is enable voodoo or disable voodoo, that is where you will find voodoo options. It is already on your phone. Most of the new roms use this because ext4 is a way faster file system

The 3g issues arise from the frequency at which days data is transferred. Because it is high its building penetration it is less than other similar technologies

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yup we need both 1700+2100 to make a proper 3G connection

while AT&T, Rogers, etc. they only need 850 or 1900, but they do not need both

i had to sacrify my 850 for the AWS, due the amazing price package
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
said before, tmobile's 3g network uses high frequencies which have bad building penetration, 1700/2100mHz. the lower the frequency the better the penetration of structures, like 850mhz is much better at going into buildings, reaching far distances, and better propogation properties.

nothing can be done about it, its a law of physics limitation. the only solution is to double the amount of towers/distance between towers in half.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoss15:
I tried searching for a solution to this but am having a hard time finding anything.

Basically, I am trying to root my friend's Incredible for him with unrevoked and I'm having some trouble.

First I got a message that there was a problem with the CID backup. I talked to some people from the unrevoked team and they gave me a fix but they then said that he had a weird unusual file they would have to look into.

So then I tried again for the hell of it and instead of that error message I got one saying that root failed perhaps my firmware version isn't supported.

Does anyone know if a firmware version isn't supported and if there is a manual method using adb?

Thanks for any help
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanglifemike:

Is it a SLCD incredible? I had an unusually hard time with my lady's inc. Meanwhile mine was rooted first time. Wonder if changes between the 2 shipments happened? I just kept trying and eventually it went. Hardest part was to get her computer to accept the ADB Drivers...

I'm not sure, would that be in the about phone setting or is it associated with a certain hard ware version? How many times did you try it cause I think we did at least five haha.

Also were you getting similar error messages?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithos der Held:
You can tell by the screen itself. If there's a backlight its an SLCD. But sadly I have no idea if it really makes a difference. It took me 3 tries and it randomly worked. I changed nothing in my method.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoss15:
You don't remember the error messages you got were do you?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
I personally don't know how you could tell which one you had. Maybe google search your phone's model number or hardware version to see there are any answers out there.

I used a Mac to root my Inc and it went smoothly after two tries haha. The Mac version does not require you to install drivers, so if you want to try that method have at it.

if you go into settings/about phone/hardware, and if under hardware version it says 0002 its "amoled" and if its says 0003 its "slcd".
[Nexus S General] flameinthefire:
No matter what app I use it kills the battery. I think android need to work on it. Can't really listen to music on android phones without witnessing massive battery drain. How about you guys? Same issue? Any solution?

Um well it uses battery yes but I wouldn't say its horrible.

Sent from my Sublime MoDaCo Nexus S running Netarcy's amazing kernel!
[Nexus S General] 2012iawait:
loosing 20 percent per hour is not horrible? with nothing but music playing
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
In general, battery technology needs to get better, and cheaper.

It's a little absurd to have all these apparently advantageous features like widgets, live wallpapers, syncs, bluetooth, or in your case, an app like music, but not be able to fully use them without suffering major battery loss. If you want to use them, they have to be monitored or hedged in some way. You even have people needing to don black wallpapers to conserve battery.

I'm aware that that's just the technology of full screen smart phones, but it's about time battery technology made some gains as well. I love all these features, but I'm tired of not being able to use them fully or having to carry extra batteries or having to live by the charger.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I was speaking to my case which does not have those kinds of losses. Dollars to donuts, you have something else causing the massive battery drain.

Actually, its not the batteries that are to blame. One of the reasons a good friend of mine who loves java based development hasn't made the jump to Android is the battery life. Because it is open-source, there are no checks made against apps to make sure they are not going to cause massive battery drain, data usage, or any other negative side effects. If we lived in the walled Apple garden, things would be different.

Basically, what I'm getting at is that you seem to have a lot of issues with the Android platform as a whole. Don't take this as harsh but perhaps you should look at other options because you seem to be very (vocally) unhappy with your phone and the Android system as a whole. You should be happy with your phone, not at odds with it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
You didn't say how fast a drain you're seeing.

I see about 5-8% per hour battery drain with music on multiple android devices with multiple apps. That's 12-20 hours playback depending on the device. About half what Apple claims to get out of the iPhone 4. I don't think the iPhone would last anywhere near 40 hours Apple says it would, but I haven't used mine much.

One of the advantages of a 'droid over an iPhone is that you can swap out the batteries. If you're a heavy user, you're just going to have to get used to the idea of plugging in while in the car or at the desk at work or carrying a spare battery and swapping.

I think the Nexus S has amazing battery life compared to any phone I've owned, including the iPhone 2/3g/3gs/4. None of those would make it through a full day any better than my Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
He said he was getting 20% drain per hour. I find it strange however you got such horrible battery life on a 3GS. The developer friend I mentioned has a 3GS which she always gets at least two days use out of with very heavy use. I can't say if she listens to music on it (she isn't that big of a music person, to be honest) but she is always browsing the web, sending texts, emails and getting calls.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
@onthecouchagain, I drafted almost the exact same thing to you the other day in a different thread but hit cancel because I thought it wouldn't be well received, but I have to agree with kenvan19 here...

No one around here seems more unhappy with the Nexus S than you do. Multiple issues, multiple dissatisfactions, multiple frustrated-sounding threads. Why do you keep the thing? In the end it's just a phone; it's not worth all the frustration you seem to have with it. Go back to the iPhone; it's a great device with fewer quirks, albeit fewer freedoms.

Are we just getting the wrong impression of how you feel about the phone overall?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
No he didn't. The original poster (flameinthefire) didn't say how much drain he was experieincing. Someone else said 20% per hour (2012iawait) in a later post.

@flameinthefire - how much drain do you get per hour? Have you tested that? Have you looked in the battery usage stats to see if there's a hint there?

@2012iawait - what music app are you using that drains your phone 20% per hour? If it's a stand-alone app playing local MP3 files, there's something wrong for sure. If you're using Pandora, or Stitcher, or something like that, don't forget that you're streaming off the net, which means a full time data connection has to be maintained and that will definitely drain your battery at that kind of rate.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
You are correct. I did not notice that, I apologize.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
There is something wrong with the battery, apps, or how you're using it. 20% loss over an hour with only music playing doesn't make any sense.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
Don't know what the op means by "crazy" battery drain. With the screen off and just playing music I only really see it drop about 5-6% an hour. When my phone is idle sitting on the table just hooked onto data, it's usually around 3-4% an hour so an extra 2-3% extra isn't too bad. With airplane mode on I'm sure I would see about 5% or under an hour for music playback. (Headphones, obviously. Playing over the speaker would use more battery)
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Both perfectly fair questions. I don't want to hi-jack this thread so I'll answer as briefly as possible. This is more or less what I've said in other threads...

I'm just disappointed by the promises of "stock Android" experience. Part of that is my fault for believing it, but part of that is also the misconception people continue to perpetuate. One of the biggest features that Nexus-lovers tout is not only that they get the latest updates, but they get the cleanest updates -- free of OEM skins that hamper the phone. Stock Android certainly has its advantages, and I would never defend OEM skins, but as it turns out, stock Android hampers the phone more than just fine by itself. The promise was that the lack of OEM skins would finally let the Android OS thrive to its fullest potential, but it's a farce, and GB is chock full of its own glitches and issues. (There are also oddities which perplex me. I recently discovered there is no way to organize bookmarks in the stock browser. I understand the most visited sites show up first, but why not offer the feature to organize the way I want it to as well? What happened to freedom of choice? Also, isn't that what the "Most Visited" tab is for?)

I realize no platform is perfect and I am generally a huge proponent of virtually all things Google (Gmail, Chrome), but I'm becoming more and more disenchanted by Android.

Having said that, I love and enjoy many things about Android, and my complaints are primarily voiced in the hopes to see Android continue to grow and improve (someone mentioned Googlers read, sometimes even post, at these forums). I am doing my part in submitting reports and feature-requests to Google and often link them to garner more support/stars. (my latest request: custom auto-corrections for the keyboard: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14420. Please star, I think it'll be a great asset to the keyboard). I am not sitting idly and complaining; I am criticizing, and there is a difference. About the iPhone suggestion, there were many things I disliked about iOS (I was just as critical! Heh). But I do mention the iPhone, especially when talking about keyboards, because clearly there are some things it does better -- and we should be able to admit that without being accused of fanboyism (not that such a thing doesn't exist). I am not quite ready to divorce myself from the Nexus line yet, despite becoming disenchanted by the OS, and will still keep an eye on the next Nexus whenever/whatever that may be. If the Nexus S and GB weren't so chock full of issues, I'd be singing a different tune. My hope is that as updates come, the issues will be resolved and the overall OS will be improved upon. Until then, what issues it has warrants discussion.

Lastly, many people here have helped me figure solutions to many of my problems, which I greatly appreciate.

Sorry. The post ended up longer than I intended. Back to batteries...
[Nexus S General] derfasaurus:
