I gotta disagree. For 99% of users, 300k upload is more than sufficient. If you take 100 users, I'd bet less than 10% actually subscribe to tethering, and of that 10%, probably less than 1 of the 10 actually are using an application where 300k vs 1mbps is even noticeably slower.

*I* like most on here notice it, and are educated to know the difference, but when someone doesn't know what's possible, and the phone does what they want, they don't pound on the door asking for more. Primary example is iPhone... people eat the iPhone up, even though it's incredibly limited. For those who haven't experienced Android, they know no better, so they don't have anything to compare with to know there's "a better way" out there. I recently switched and thought the iPhone was the greatest thing since sliced bread, then I got Android and WOW... iPhone is so old-school, haha.

Bottom line, we're a small representation of the greater AT&T customer base, and they really don't care to piss us off for the sake of giving better upload speeds to the huge population that doesn't know the difference :-)

Corporations love blind consumers.... and there's not some mass mob forming at ATT's door to increase upload speeds... there's a ton of pressure for download speed, but the average user doesn't care if they get more than 300k up. :-(

I'm on the rooted stock rom/stock radio with the edited build prop. I have had the configuation for the past 48 hours and my latest speedtest was 2Mbps download and 1.5Mbps upload speed in San Diego. However, all my speedtests vary, I have seen the upload speeds vary anywhere from 200Kbps to 2Mbps depending on signal strengh and location. In case you were wondering, the backhaul has not been implemented in San Diego yet.

The sound is perfect, sideloading is enabled, wifi hotspot is working without tethering plan, GPS lock with 10 seconds, I have the circle battery with percentage in the notification bar, and all the bloatware is removed. I think my phone is perfect. Guess it's time for a backup before I screw it up.

Market Not working after root

New to the android, so please forgive me if the solution is obvious. I just rooted my Inspire using attn1's directions and installed the md5: 249083ce88b626c362ec0682617127df inspired-dhd-afr003-signed.zip (2/20). The phone seems to be working fine but the market wont download and install any apps. It gets stuck on "starting download..." forever. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
If you're on wifi the market sometimes doesn't download. Turn if off and turn it back on or try with the att network. If that doesn't work reboot the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dgrooman:
That did the trick, easy enough. thanks.

Next question is how do I flash back to the original radio firmware to improve the audio?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ljwnow:
The audio will never be improved unless you flash to stock which is what I hate....
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Never is a long time. I'd bet in a week or two you'll have to retract that statement. The source was only available last night finally, so the reason the audio issue persisted was because the only options available were to modify another model's Rom.... now that the source is available the general consensus seems to be that we'll see an audio issue identification and fix in the very near future :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Go to the ace hack kit v2. open it and click on the radio folder. Once in there that that zip file place it on the root of your sd card or put in on the sd card not in a folder. turn off your phone and reboot into the boot loader it will read the file and ask to you flash press the power button to flash. You will have the stock radio back.

This seems to be a problem unique to stock. Haven't had this problem with either GTG or Android Revolution.

[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
It's not exactly actively "developed," but it's still the "default" ROM after doing the Hack Kit (which just got updated yesterday). Since this is essentially a "ported" ROM of the EU Desire HD, you won't see much in the line of updates until that ROM updates. You'll see more activity in the custom ROMs where developers are actively tweaking things (such as CoreDroid or Revolution).

[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
So, I'm trying to get the Pros/Cons of using the "Inspired DHD" versus the "Rooted Stock" roms. It's apparently not as cut & dry as I hoped. Is the following summary mostly correct?

ATT Inspire Rooted:

Pros:

Contains the full noise-cancelling capability.

Ummm.....

Cons:

Still has bloatware (but can be removed with Root Explorer)

Some had GPS issues after installation (?)

Inspired DHD:

Pros:

Completely non-branded ROM with no missing features.

Seems to be more reliable if you want ClockWorkMod.

Cons:

Audio works well with afr003, but noise-cancelling is gone. May be more of an issue with other people hearing your voice.

There has to be something else. I see one-off posts on SMS and WiFi reliability, but nobody has chimed a "me too." Onless noise-cancelling is a needed feature for you (I use a bluetooth headset anyways), it appears the "Inspired DHD" ROM is a far better choice. Am I missing something?

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
I'm using a rom based on 1.84 build. No sound issues at all. Plus everything works like a charm. So the dhd rom is the way to go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yg17:
Is anyone else having problems with cell tower based location not working in Google Maps on the Inspired HD rom? GPS is working great, but when I'm indoors and not in range of WiFi, Google Maps is telling me my location is unavailable - on my Nexus One it will use the cell tower to give me a rough location.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Lawrencechung:
Desire HD ROM doesn't have voice dialing via bluetooth but ATT Inspire stock ROM has. It's a big difference
[HTC Inspire 4G] 82801BA:
When I load the Location it starts in Taiwan. Able to point to my location though. However, there's no POS at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ljwnow:
I really have no idea. But my experience tells me it may be the ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPrevailed YDG:
If its the rom I'm really not worried since ill be installing a new one when a nice one is released
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Ya my guess is that it is the rom but its not too bad I guess. The price we pay for rooting our phones on launch day. We are just glorified guinea pigs LOL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ljwnow:
Lol. I had a Desire HD before and just switched to this US edition yesterday. It is only $399 which is amazing!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] laxwillsch:
Ya I paid 450 just so I didn't have to deal with the incompetent ATT people. But then I got home and my girlfriend wanted one when she compared her iPhone 4 to it. Her exact words were after playing on your phone my iPhone feels like a toy. Lol HTC FTW. But we ended up going to ATT for hers and I gotta say I don't understand why ATT hires such incompetent people. The guy didn't know a thing about Android. Like nothing. He was trying to say Motorola was better and when I said I didn't like motoblur he said "no not ATT motorola, I mean Verizon Motorola". I am still not sure what he meant.

Install from SD card.

thanks! when i pick "install from sd card", it gives me 2 choice, since i dont know what to choose.

so i pick "boot into recovery" then install zip from sdcard. it also works! (that' what i do when i using samsung captivate)
[HTC Inspire 4G] yg17:
I think I'm going to attempt this using the instructions in the hack kit to root and the wiki to flash the ROM. What happens if I brick the phone, is there a way to restore it to working condition (don't care if it's unrooted with stock ATT rom - better than an expensive paperweight)

[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
I have a question. I spent s ton of time with attn1 this morning getting root. I ended up downgrading and using Visionary, installing clockwork and then flashing this rom. I never updated my radio as per the original instructions. Does this rom have the original radio from the Inspire? Do I even need the original radio? Phone is working fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] iPrevailed YDG:
is your call sound quality different?
[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
Yes. It's more tinny. Not a big deal for me but it is worse than original. I might flash the original radio.

Attn1 told me I did not need to flash the radio. BTW.

I was having the same question. Then I ran the speedtest app, I got 3Mbps down and 1.2Mbps up. I think it's obvious that we are getting H+.

Any way we can get BT voice dialing added back in to this rom. Maybe an .apk file to flash. Already missing this from the original and my captivate. Thanks either way.

Use the file in the Radio folder from the hack kit. Put it on the Root of your SD Card and boot into fastboot. It will find it and install it automatically. Should only take a minute or 2. Don't use the radio from the link I posted.

Based off of experience with similar issues on the Captivate, I will bet dollars to doughnuts it is the kernel/radio combo.

I'm hoping there's a solution for this. I rooted with the hack kit and flashed this ROM, and call quality definitely took a hit.

I hope one of you more experienced guys can be the guinea pigs and then post instructions for n00bs and idiots like me ;)

No change after flashing the modem provided in the kit. I'm willing to bet the kernel needs flashing too. Anyone want to pull it out of the RUU package?

Flash the stock radio from the radio folder. Yes there is another one in the dwngrd folder. That is the exploited one with apparent call quality issues
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I used the stock radio, not the downgraded one. For clarification, I have the process successfully done, I'm just testing the call quality issues people are seeing after doing the entire ROM process.

The downgraded radio is in a separate folder.

After a bit of using it, I would agree. Not perfect, but better than the ROM itself. I also seem to be getting better HSPA signal as well, less drops to UMTS.

It's already in the Hack Kit from ATTN1. Just redo the last step.

Copied and pasted from his read me with the corrections for Windows:

5. RESTORE THE SHIPPING RADIO FIRMWARE

Make sure USB debuggery is on

- hackerize-ace flash-radio

This will restart the phone is fastboot mode. Push power to start the flash process.

Reboot

- hackerize-ace clean

Hey guys, I'm not sure if it's related to rooting or this particular ROM, but i cannot get the AT&T U-verse app to work so I can remotely schedule my DVR.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting, going into the filesystem and manually removing it's data files, etc. I'm at a loss with this. It works fine on my Nexus One (same version from the market) so I don't think it's the app. Has anyone else been able to get it to work with this ROM, or know why it would be giving me that error?
