[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Unfortunately, without rooting your phone, you can't get HSPA differentiation. That's actually a big draw for many people in order to root and load someone's ROM.

The reason for this is that the framework-res.apk file (the file that houses the actual pictures that make up your status bar, among other things, does not include an H icon. It only has 3G for both states. At least setting it to WCDMA preferred or WCDMA only (what I use), you know that you're most likely on 3.5G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruhismile:
Thanks for your reply mate I hope we get some official update so we can get the hspa or atleast hspda
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Ok, I see some potential misunderstanding here.

Working on HSxPA isn't up to your phone - it's up to your cellular carrier. If you have HSxPA network capability - the phone will use it, because it's capable of using it. You can't make it use more or less of it, it's either used or not used.

On the other hand, the icons above may not show "H" for HSxPA, it depends on the ROM. AFAIK some European Vodafone ROMs show "H", but stock Google ROMs don't. If all you're looking for is "H" icon - then your best bet is to root and install custom ROM.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You need to root to get that icon.

Why I don't see hsdpa option while using #*#*4636#*#* only wcdma
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruhismile:
Thanks mate for your reply I will never root my Nexus one
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gekx:
Why not its so easy? Warrenty?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Err sorry. I wasn't clear enough. What I meant was that you may be in HSPA but it won't say it unless you load a custom ROM.

Go to Settings -> About Phone -> Status Under network type, you should see HSDPA. :)

I might if I had two phones but I don't and I can't afford
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruhismile:
I was first and searched but no forums it say hsdpa in setting but its not its wcdma in *#*#4636#*#* I want to set there hsdpa thanks anyway
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You can't lock the phone on HSDPA, and you don't want to even if you could.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Did you try going to Settings -> About Phone -> Status and then looking for Network Type? There is where you should see HSDPA if available. My Nexus One on Tmo US showed it even before I rooted and enabled HSPA differentiation (the icon showing H instead of 3G when on HSPA).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Not true, you just need a modified framework-res.apk
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruhismile:
Yes. It shows hsdpa in settings but not info where we set the network thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You don't "set" the phone to use HSPA, it just does. You just don't know it as the icon doesn't change from 3G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crawler9:
Okay... looking through this thread, I'm not sure you're understanding what you've been told. I'll make it simple

WCDMA is HSxPA (HSDPA and HSUPA) as well as standard 3G.

If your phone is set on WCDMA Preferred or WCDMA Only, you will be connected to HSxPA when it is available and 3G when its not.

Stock ROMs will still show a 3G icon in the status bar even when connected to HSxPA.

Again, the menu you access by typing *#*#4636#*#* has no separate option for HSxPA. WDCMA Only is probably the best option if you don't want to use your phone on EDGE.

Is it even possible ?

May i have to start a new topic for this purpose ?

[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
Hello, fello Evo users.

My name is AbsolutZero, and I've been on this forum for a little while now. Not as long as some of you, longer than others, but a nice time nonetheless. I have owned 4 different Android phones and have participated in 3 different phone sections in the XDA forums (MyTouch Slide, G2, this one) and there is something I'd like to say:

I have never seen so many people ***** in my lifetime. Seriously. All this complaining that Sprint isn't releasing phones on par with others (omg a whole 2 phones that are coming out that are better than the Evo), complaining about the 1 year 1/2 off, 2 year full discount change to the upgrade plan (on par with everyone else), complaining about the $10 4g charge (which Evo owners have been dealing with since day 1) and just complaining complaining complaining.

Now, I have a request. Please make just one thread where you all ***** together because I have this feeling that I'm missing out on some pretty awesome discussions because disgruntled teenagers (or at least, they act like teenagers) are spamming this forum with garbage about a bad experience they had with Sprint. What's worse, these people are under some magical assumption that anywhere else is going to treat them any better. Wake up and smell the bacon-mod, all these companies suck, but Sprint definitely sucks the least.

I go to salons to have my hair done (yes I'm a guy, no I'm not gay, make whatever assumptions you want) and I hear women complain LESS about their unfaithful, physically abusive boyfriends than some of you do about Sprint. Find something productive to do, make your own hater forum, jump **** and go away or at least restrict the hating to one thread so I don't have to pile through 2 pages of nonsense to see a REAL EVO DISCUSSION.

[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
i completely agree....with the OP.

but this just adds more crap to read.. right?

still funny ****!
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
Agree with OP 1 billion %...

The EVO forums on this board are loaded with whining complainers, who don't bother to try and figure out their issues on their own, or use the search, and instead just spread hatred for Sprint...Here's some news for you; Verizon and ATT suck just as much!

Can't wait to see what happens to Verizons "best network" once the IBONERS ruin their network like they did to ATT..BTW, I dont see anyone standing outside in line in Chicago today waiting...just because its -15 degrees, is that keeping the loyal Iphoners at home?
[EVO 4G General] alreegator:
Nice. I want to read the rest of this thread, but I know there will be some *****in' going on so I'll stop here ;).

EDIT: I guess I got in before the *****in' :)!

Along with the Q & A section, there should be a B&M section for *****ing and moaning.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
OP. While I agree with you I think your best tactic is to just not post in the whiny threads and not even read them. Just move on. A thread like this is equally as meaningless and unhelpfull as the ones you complain about. You're effectively doing what you are criticizing others for. Don't feed the trolls and don't become one. It's a phone dev website. Not serious business, not worth stressing over.

[Legend Android Development] danielmarr0:
Howdy,

I had recently updated my Legend to SuperGinger from Superte@m. I had moved from Azure 1.0 because I was comfortable with everything working and looked nice. Big props to AlexHof for working on the Legend btw.

In reinstalling the majority of my apps and configuring to my liking, I noticed once I moved around to ringtones I was in a bit of a pickle.

The only reason why I had stuck with Azure1.0 was because I found the stock message app didnt populate names when I was sending a new message. I remedied this problem with HandcentSMS, and all of its other features. Now handcent has this feature where it allows you to choose the default program "Select Music" as opposed to "System" when selecting a ringtone, which allows me to select music from my phone and not just the default ringtones.

My question to XDA members and enthusiasts is, "is there any way to dissect this "Select Music" and integrate it into the ROM."

Or even just install the Select Music as a separate app without Handcent.

Im more than happy to keep handcent on the phone just for the select music, but it seems like a waste. Im a bit OCD. Hiding it in LauncherPro is my only option I guess.

Ive been meaning to take up some developing in my uni holidays, though I got as far as loading android sdk and eclipse (which i use for uni anyway) and got lost in all the java. They only teach us C++. =(

I have another question about Rom Settings but ill might hold of pending the answers I get from this. =P Saves me humiliation.

Cheers and Peace!
[Legend Android Development] Mastacheata:
Unless you are either very good at reverse engineering or reading java bytecode you need to get the sourcecode of an application in order to reuse some of it's features for a standalone app.

Since you won't be able to get the handcent sourcecode, maybe you should ask the developer to provide an app with just the functionality you want.

How's the U.S. users' experience with 3G? I have ATT unlimited data with my plan wondering if I can just pop in the sim to use internet.
[Adam General] litening:
Don't know what reception would be like as I don't live in US, but for 3G to work expect to have to manually configure your APNs in settings for ATT.

If you have an android phone you can easily pop in the sim and copy the settting in:

Settings-> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.

Hope this helps.

For those of you who are rooted, which method seems to be best right now.

I want to do it but was waiting to see some rom action :(

Also is everyone using the same recovery these days?

I was looking for Sprint specific info but its kind of muttled up in here.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] lamarellis:
Im having the same issue. I am really keaning toward a T-Mobile Tab or the ipad2.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
I definitely LOST root when I applied the update, I tested and retested with multiple root apps, also I couldn't unroot or root using z4root at all after this, z4root would simply crash. However using oneclickroot on PC I was able to root the device again after the update and I was able to run lcd density and all my other root apps again.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmathai77:
might i ask how you actually pulled this update and zipped it up? Where are ota updates located on the system?

any modem files in this.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] evantribley:
I did not lose root when I installed the system update that came OTA. I originally rooted with z4root.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
how strange, did you confirm that the update actually installed successfully? I wonder why mine would lose root and yours wouldn't.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmathai77:
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT UPDATE

If you guys changed your WPA_SUPPLICANT file to allow AD-HOC networks, the update FILL FAIL.

So restore the original/stock WPA supplicant file before you try the update, or itll just fail and made no difference. I'll keep you posted, im going to do the update right now

Also make sure your using STOCK DPI LCD Density or it will fail as well. Its stock 240.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
go back in to your about galaxy tab and check for updates and check for new firmware; if it hasn't installed yet then I believe that it should attempt to install again. You can match the new baseband version, build number, and qik version to see if you are running the new update.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmathai77:
it tried to install before OTA but failed due to different WPA_supplicant and LCD Density change (give a buildprop error).

Now im doing the manual update, i just changed the zip to update.zip. Now it seems to be working.

UPDATE COMPLETE: btw, the new sprint logo is CRAP. i liked the original Samsung Logo! anyway to change that back. I'll keep you guys posted on any new things i find.

Ok this does Break ROOT!

If it doesnt break root for you, then the update did not go through. Check your settings "about my galaxy tab".
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] powermatt:
My update is failing because I'm running a modified Gallery. Like an idiot I didn't backup the original app. Anyone know where I can snag a copy of the stock Gallery3D.apk and .odex?

-edit-

Nevermind... found a modified ROM that was using the stock Gallery app. Just pulled it from that and presto, update applied without errors.

-edit

Hmm... though when it rebooted it said the update failed to apply and I should try again. Though the sprint logo at boot the version numbers tell a different story. Odd.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmathai77:
Other changes Noticed:

RAM MANAGEMENT and RUNNING APPLICATION MANAGEMENT seem to be different. - LONG PRESS HOME BUTTON -> then Task Manager to see what im talking about.

Is it just me or did they soften some colors from a nice bright blue to darker dull blue?

It seems to clear memory better using the Stock Task Manager.

Also I see some new Widgets - Date/Time/Weather Widget.

Also you can access your daily briefing app by clicking the widget.

Also a new Dual Clock Widget
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] powermatt:
Yeah, their patch notes definitely aren't telling the whole story. This is more than just minor updates. There's the new widgets (I like the new weather clock a LOT better), there's a new button to add a note in the browser and the mail app, and the colors do seem a bit darker. Maybe I didn't notice it, but was the daily briefing a full app before?

z4root method is broken.

-edit-

superoneclick does appear to be working.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmathai77:
WOW actually your right! ok NO NEW iPhone like dashboard thing.. Its just the Daily Briefing APP (always there before). but NOW it has Widgets associated with it. =]

Yea i like the clock, weather, date widgets too!

the stock browser is slow. who even uses that! use xScope, or Dolphin.

I use FIREFOX for school since it works PERFECTLY with my schools Blackboard (people soft) system. Their new recent update made it pretty faster too. But no option (i believe) to use desktop mode.

CAN ANYONE AFTER UPDATING, TRY A BLUETOOTH KEYBOARD PLEASE?????? I want to see if it works now... since sprint didn't technically tell us the whole story about this update as there seems to be more then minor patches (like previously stated) I wouldn't be surprised if Bluetooth Keyboard started to work. =] Oh i pray.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlpineM3:
Ive only used my tab over WiFi, will I be able to receive the update?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] AlpineM3:
Ok, I just went to the About Phone section, checked for updates and I had - update firmware, update profile, update prl and update android.....i tried all four and they all failed..........wtf!!!!!!

Anybody also experience the same thing or know why its not updating? I am rooted with z4root btw......
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] mmathai77:
YOU WILL STILL RECEIVE OTA UPDATES EVEN IF YOU USE IT AS A WIFI ONLY DEVICE. THE UPDATE SYSTEM/FIRMWARE/ANDROID/PROFILES SETTINGS IN YOUR SETTINGS APP MIGHT NOT WORK (mine does't) BUT OTA UPDATES, ARE BEING SENT OUT THROUGH GOOGLES SERVERS ONE BY ONE, IT WILL TAKE THEM UP TO SATURDAY TO FULLY SEND IT OUT.

yes its pushed through Googles Servers, not actually sprint itself.

You should see the update by tomorrow/saturday night.

I use it as a WIFI only device as well, I deactivated my data and froze all sprint associated apps using Titanium Backup.

Yesturday, while I was connected to WiFi, I recieved a notification that an update was available. I pressed update, it rebooted and looked like it was updating. Unfortunatly, my Tab used a NONSTOCK WPA_SUPPLICANT, and changed my LCD Density from Stock to 185, so the update failed.

Usually, if you miss the first rounds you'll see it in a couple days.

But if you want it now,

1) Download the Zip file above.

2) change the name to "update.zip" without the quotes. Its already compressed so you just might need to change it to update

3) put the update.zip in a Micro-SD card in the root folder - the folder u see when u open the SD card.

4) turn off your tab

5) insert micro-sd card into your tab

6) press VOL + and POWER for a couple seconds, you should see the samsung logo let go of the buttons

7) It will boot you into recovery mode. Use Vol + - to select over Update.zip

8) to select, press the home button

- it will update.

If update fails its because you changed something that the recovery console looks for to verify its the correct system/files associated with the update.

This is what I did.

Disclaimer: If you break your tab, Im not responsible.

[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] anielk77:
I use wifi only as we do not have sprint networks in the Netherlands.

I bought my tab during my vacation in the US. and Yesterday I received the update. after updating I did not lost the root. it is still rooted wit z4root

after fully charged I watch a movie 720 divx for 1h 48m and my battery was just almost full. did the update have affects on usage of the battery?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
Yea who wants to see a Sprint logo...they should dedicate more resources to getting gingerbread and honeycomb(when it hits AOSP) to the tab. but you can still root the device again post update using superoneclickroot
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] X1088LoD:
So superoneclick does work?

Can confirm z4root does not work, I tried messing with superoneclick before work but always got stuck at "waiting for device", ive never used it before, is there a trick to getting it to work for the tab?

I kept trying the connect/disconnect method from the superoneclick instructions and could never get it to recognize, from either the home screen or recovery screen

Also hate the sprint boot screens...
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] futuregerald:
SuperOneclickRoot does work, z4root does NOT work, I tried using it first. In order for superoneclick to work you need to have samsung kies installed and plug in your device at least once while kies is running to install the driver for your device. After that superoneclick will be able to recognize and root the device. Good luck.

Also I had my lcd density set to 200 when the update came and it still installed the update for me, though of course I lost the changed density upon reboot. Maybe this worked for me because I had the density set on temp so when I reboot it goes back to stock 240.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] steb0ne:
I can confirm I did the OTA update and also still have root (originally rooted using Z4Root)...as long as my WiFi Tether works I'm good :D
