[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
WCDMA deployments are usually marketed as UMTS.

UMTS networks in many countries have been or are in the process of being upgraded with High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), sometimes known as 3.5G.

So the answer to your question is: HSDPA is included in WCDMA settings. Or properly said, it is a feature of the WCDMA connection mode. Your phone supports it. If you get low speeds, then your operator doesn't offer this service in your area. Or at all.

If you have never seen an "H" in your status bar, only "G" or "3G", that't the answer: no such service in your area from your mobile operator.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] kewlsid05:
I actually see H and 3G most of the time with it goin to E(EDGE) or G(GPRS) very rarely.

I was just wondering why it wasn't given in the settings.

And the speeds remain poor. Even at nights, assuming less traffic/users, the speeds rarely rise above 40 KBps. I am not looking for 3.6 Mbps or 7.2 Mbps but atleast speeds in the range of 1Mbps(128KBps) should be there.

Anyway, i guess its my operator that sucks! :mad:

Now that number portability has been rolled out here in India its time to switch operators!

Thanks for the reply. Upped that meter a little for ya! :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
The reason why you don't see HSDPA as an option in your menu is because the WCDMA connection will automatically work at its best: HSDPA if available or 3G otherwise. Low speed even if your phone is connected using HSDPA is definitely your operator's fault.

Glad I was able to shed some light on this matter and thanks for the appreciation.

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinaMyers_TW:
I've looked around, and couldn't find a solid answer, so I thought i'd ask.

I'm a n00b when it comes to the smart phone world. I've been using the same nokia cellphone for 4 years now, and it refuses to break. But the other day, I wrapped my hands around the HD7 and fell in love.

However, looking around online and reading more than 10 reviews, including Anandtech's 32 pager, there seem to be some glaring... i don't want to say problems, but maybe oversights with the functionality within WP7. So I must ask:

Regarding WP7 and the HD7, since the HD7s launch, has there been any updates to the WP7 OS?

Will there be any (official) updates to WP7 in the future, and will it be easy to update? Like, is it just as easy as getting a wireless internet signal on the phone and downloading the update?

and just for fun, in your opinion, do you think that some changes will be made to WP7 that make it more customisable in the future? Are updates like these possible for this type of phone?

Main reason I ask is that i've never owned a smart phone, and have NO clue on how updating works.

From what i've seen in the past, if something gets 'outdated' or is 'not robust enough', the company will just put out a brand new phone, making the previous one seem like a waste. I know why i shouldn't feel that way, but with cellphones, I do.

Which is why i'm wondering, if there are some 'problems' with WP7, is it possible that updates or fixes will be out in the future.

Sorry for seeming long-winded. I just don't want to seem TOO n00bie... been an avid tech-head for 20 years, but the cellphone thing just never got me.

Until the HD7. Grrrrr...

EDIT:

omg, i just saw the windows phone 7 updates thread.

lol
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frontieruk:
as you've seen updates are coming, features will get added, I doubt the interface will become more customisable, what will happen is Microsoft will release the tight grip it has regarding what devs can and cant do, which will lead to more great apps and hubs.

just incase you hadn't seen the update procedure, you get notified on your phone that an update is available, when you get home you plug the phone into your PC the zune software fires up, tells you an update is available and asks do you want to install, if you say yes, Zune takes a backup of your phone, downloads the new ROM and then installs it for you, while you get a cup of tea.

Hope this helps

I've bought deer hunter for x-box live today, funny thing happened.

After downloaded the game it asked "tap here" while installing, and I tapped it it says no information availiable, but failed to install. Then I deleted it from downloading and want to install again but I get "check install" on marketplace and there is NOTHING in install page... and nothing is downloading. I tried with Zune desktop and it says already purchased, there is no way to download again.

Is there any way to make the download working again without formatting the phone? This bug is just stupid...

Thanks a lot!!

[EVO Shift 4G General] doratheconquistadora:
Hey guys,

Would've asked this in the Q&A in the Development section but I'm not allowed to post there yet, so I'll ask here.

1) I noticed recently that when my Shift is plugged in and fully charged at 100%, almost immediately after I unplug it from the power source it drops 5% and displays a 95% battery level.

Anyone know what may be causing this?

2) I have recently rooted my Shift, and backed up the WiMax partition. I've discovered the importance of having BusyBox but I cannot get it installed. I have tried both the market version, and the one that ClockWork gives (which is the same as the market one also)

I would leave my phone for say 20min to get it to install BusyBox but it's always stuck at Please Wait... Looking for BusyBox and checking system info

How have you guys installed BusyBox and what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

EDIT: Titanium Backup, not ClockWork. Sorry.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
1. Sounds like you have uneven cell charger in the battery. Try wiping battery stats in recovery, and go through a full discharge/charge cycle. You can also try unplugging and plugging in repeatedly when it reaches full to recharge those sticky cells

2. You could try pushing it to system/bin yourself and making the symlinks yourself, but that's a pain in the ass. I would just flash a custom rom like nfinitefx's with it already on there.
[EVO Shift 4G General] doratheconquistadora:
Thanks for the suggestions on the battery issue.

I'll try it.

I'm using MinimalisticText to display most of my information (date, time, weather, and battery percentage)

I usually have the phone plugged in long to stay at 100% for say an hour or so. It's not like I'm charging it until it goes green and then immediately unplug it.

As for the BusyBox, I guess I'll just get that issue resolved when I try out custom ROMs
[EVO Shift 4G General] HolyShift:
I believe Titanium Backup also lets you download Busybox by clicking on "Problems?" once you launch the app. It definitely helped clear up the issues I was having with Ti Backup but I'm not sure which version it is.
[EVO Shift 4G General] doratheconquistadora:
I tried the market version first

And then I tried the version Titanium Backup came packaged with.

Both versions were stuck during the installation process. I think I mentioned TI, or at least trying different versions in my first post.

I understand the developer says "ATTEMPT" with the welcome screen to the app, but it shouldn't be this difficult

Ah well, maybe a nice new ROM will fix it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] HolyShift:
Very strange. I'm still on the stock ROM and it worked without issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
You could try adb remount on your pc first, or try clearing data for superuser (sometimes it gets stuck)

[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
I sent them an email a couple of days ago explaining crap thats going on with the phone and how Froyo 2.2 would from what i understand fix most of the problems etc etc. I just wanted to try again to find out about a date. Well i got an email back from tec. upport saying they are glad to announce that the 2.2 update IS available and to call their 800 number for help if i had problems installing. but clicking on the link just brings me to the old FAQ page that they took down. Come on Samsung get a freaking clue. I don't understand why they would send this out and not be true?????

(so maybe things will be rolling out today then because after rereading email i noticed their central time which is 3 hours behind me. So right now my time there still closed) Fingers crossed

Ok so just got of the phone with Samsung. Acording to them and the information they have in their office Froyo 2.2 IS OUT but because theres a problem with the site we don't can't download it yet lol Samsung needs to really get an Fing clue.
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
I'm pretty sure you need to install that with Kies Mini if it is, indeed, available.
[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
Nothing showing up on Kies Mini eather. So again am hoping that things will start rolling out as soon as they open at 9 central time.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I saw another post at AT&T official forum about multiple Samsung reps claim the 2.2 for Froyo is avialable and directed to the same link. Looks like Samsung already trained or released information about Captivate 2.2 release internally, a bit prematurally. So, it seems our UCKB1 ROM will be the official ROM after all. It is just waiting for AT&T to give the final nod.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
<--- not holding his breath... Plus, the more I think about it, at this point... What's the point? I mean, 2.2 is rapidly aging and I'm not aware of any newly released devices coming out with 2.1 anymore - They've all got 2.2, which means that 2.3 is the next step.... and with the excellent development we already have, running stable 2.2 is already a reality! I want the update just so the companies are held to their promises, but as for an official 2.2; I'm not going back to ATT bloatware and half ass GPS.
[Captivate General] MagillaGorillaX:
Tried OTA update and it just hung......

I tired to go into media hub yesterday just to see if i missed it being fixed and it hung on checking for update. Checked phone for OTA and it also hung on checking for update. funny thing is about 4 days ago everything was working just fine. Im about to get on the phone with ATT and ***** about the email and when samsung opens and nothing happenes today will be on the phone *****ing about sending false emails to people.

New to the Android scene. I have an iPhone3gs and am leaning towards the Inspire over the Atrix. Quick noob question. Can Swype be installed on this device?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hawk4031:
Yes but

Unless you are rooted (which at least for now looks semi-difficult), you need to sideload it. I haven't had enough posts yet to post an outside link, but you can Google "install swype inspire" and the first hit should get you started.

[HTC Inspire 4G] antioch216:
nope, no root required. I haven't rooted and I just followed the guide and now I've got Swype!

AT&T blocks the ability to download from other sources (sideloading) and so this program is essentially a work around, but doesn't disturb any original settings. So if anything happened to your phone, AT&T wouldn't know unless the employee knew about this stuff.

Just follow the guide, and you'll have Swype, it's pretty easy

[Defy General] Phut:
This phone seems to be rather sensitive to 'parroting' in VoIP apps like Skype and CSIP. In fact the parrot is rather clear, much clearer than expected. It seems to be fine during regular voice calls.

Is this because the VoIP apps aren't handling the noise cancellation microphone correctly and it's feeding back through the line? Is there any fix to this aside from the echo cancellation built into the app?
[Defy General] drait:
I fear that there isn't too much you can do, apart from checking that both your and the party you are calling don't have their volume turned up too much - most echos on VOIP lines are caused that way in my experience.
