So a few pages in I found an uploaded "radio.zip" which a user extracted from the new ROM... but you mean download ATT's entire ROM and flash it like we would, say, any other ROM (wiping cache and data first)? Or something else?
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
I saw tha radio they posted, you can try that but thats not the way I did it. I downloaded the entire att rom put it on my sd card and flashed that rom by holding the volume down key and power button on bootup and flashed it that way that flashes the rom and radio. Now you can download rom manager and restore the backup you had from your favorite mod for example i was using cm7 and it works perfect
[HTC Inspire 4G] theNazerith:
I am a little late to this party. But I am suspect on the legitimacy of 4G capabilities. I live in Houston, have added the appropriate APN for medianet and AT&T.

I get 3 MB download and 1 MB upload usually. However, sometimes in spotty service areas I get very low connection under 500 KB download 500KB upload. (Yes I know they are roughly the same when the signal sucks apparently.)

What my question is I used bubbas 1 click root then flashed NINJA by team pheonix.

I got my dad the free inspire with 2 year renewal contract. So on his phone he is always showing H+. I will be sitting next to him and getting H with an up arrow/down arrow above the little H. I don't know if the ROM NINJA does not show H+ or the stock rom is incorrect in showing H+ all the time.

I don't want to run a speed test because my dad got the cheapest data plan for only 200 MB of data in a month. Would running a speed test on his phone take a lot of data, i guess is another question?

Should i worry if my HSUPA is broken? Or if I am getting 3MB DL and 1 MB upload sometimes I shouldn't worry? Thanks for the help in advance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
When in Houston, typically during peak hours and depending on what part of town I am in, I will get 2mbs-4mbs. During off peak, I will get 4mbs-6mbs. I am stock rooted. Running a speed test shouldn't use much data and it would be good to do a comparison to see how well your radio is working. As far as the H+, it is misleading. On stock, it will show that even when on 3G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jake33108:
Alright, I don't exactly know if this is a good fix but I thought I would post it as it might be valid info for someone who knows more about modding than me. I was having this problem and hadn't been able to get hsupa since rooting. I was running cm7 stable with the 26.06.06.30 radio flashed and still no hsupa. Tonight I upgraded to cm7 nightly 120 and flashed InspireMod0.5 and I now have hsupa again, I just got my best speed test ever by miles , 4.88 down and 1.25 up. Maybe it would help for other people and maybe not, but it might be something to check out of you don't want to go back to stock ruu to get hsupa back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Conflict in the build.prop? I found a conflict in mine recently where the top entry for HSXPA was 2, but down further under a sub heading "# ace RF team request" it was set to 3. Isn't a # sign a "comment out"? Anyway I changed the top value to 3, and my upload speeds are consistantly 0.8-1.7, which is an improvement, Just curious I am not an expert by any means, but I ahve been following the build.prop thread,,,

Edit: I need to note at the same time I changed both HSUPA values from 6 to 7. Since these simultaneous changes my upload speeds seem to be more consistent and higher on average.
[HTC Inspire 4G] theNazerith:
I checkedbthe build.prop thread and changed my settings to match the settings of people noticing imrpovements. But this thread talks about how if you use a 1 click rooter it is possible you will lose 4g capabilities. Need to reflash stock use ace hack kit but don't do last step flash cm7 rom and keep stock radio. Some other Guy posted a stock rom with root. Didn't know if I even need to do this though...

Any opinions

Sent from HTC Inspire using the XDA app.

ROM: NINJA 6.27.11

Kernel: 2.6.35.13-LorDmodUE-4.5.1-BFS

Radio: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sully6789:
I did the reflashing of the stock ROM and radio and it worked for me. I used Bubby's one click to root and was currenty using GB MIUI with Radio 26.09.04.11_M2. I just did a NANDroid, copied the stock zip file to my SD, rebooted into HBOOT, let it do its update thing and BAM!!...after reboot, I had HSUPA back. I verified it with speedtest: 1.65 Mbps D, and 1.16 Mbps U: 2.88 Mbps D, 3.98 Mbps U. Keep in mind though that before, each time I was getting around: 0.08 Mbps D, 0.65 Mbps U, and even lower. I'm in Oak Harbor WA, so this isnt a very big 4G area anyway. After that, I downloaded ROM manager, flashed recovery, rebooted, did my data and cache wipes, did a restore, and now after a day or two of letting the phone settle it seems I'm capping out at around 5 Mbps up and down. A huge improvement over what I was getting before, so I think its safe to say this method works. Just stick with your stock radio for now after getting it back and you should be good. I get better reception, clearer calls, and better data now that I went back to the stock radio.

Gingervillain all the way....its my rom of choice.

I am on Ginger villain 1.5. Good choice.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Innocent Devil:
gingervillain 1.5 is quite good.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utorrent76:
GingerVillan is basically CM 7. If it wasn't for the constant random reboots I would have stayed with Villan. Until that issue is resolved (hopefully when 2.0 releases) I think I'll stick with CM 7 rc 1 for now. Have had zero issues with it so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MajorTom_:
i'd go with CM7. theres newer versions than RC1 so try em out. I had ginger villain but it lagged on me too much and had random reboots. :/ ginger villain is based of CM7 so i dont see why not to try CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indysignz:
Tried both and personally would just use Cyanogen's

Currently on the latest nightly but if you want more stability then use the Release candidate.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mckayrytting:
I'd say it's a matter of personal preference, but I love the stock Gingerbread feel of GingerVillain and didn't really want to deal with installing the stock launcher in CM7. I don't like ADWlauncher. I went to CM7 when it arrived and switched back to GV pretty quickly. I don't have random reboots or any other problems with GV, so if you do have problems, it might be worth switching to see if CM7 resolves them.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
i have nothing but nice things to say about CM nightlies... #1-9 and #11. not one problem at all....

so for those of you on RC1 -- I think thats a bad spot to be in. seriously, the nightlies are smokin... i just cant vouch for any audio or telephony so there may be bugs there but Im happy as hell.

GV. tried RC1 for a bit but the battery life was not as good and battery is important to me.I also prefer the cleaner feel of GV. ive always had bad battery life on Cyanogen so GV is the rom for me. random reboots were a huge issue for me but after i tried out RC1 and used the official CWR3.x instead of the beta random reboots are almost non existent

Is it easy to go from cm7 nightly #12 to GV 1.5? do I just wipe and then install CV?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosrobit:
GV for me as well and I can't wait for 2.0
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
What's the difference..what can you specifically do on gingervillian that you can not do on cyanogenmod?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Do a nandroid backup. Then flash through ROM manager. Wipe Data+Cache and install.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Not sure. Really haven't looked into GV but its based on CM7 so I'm not sure what it offers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borealis17:
Currently there are only minor differences, but Gingervillain is based off of a CM7 nightly that released before RC1. Gingervillain is COMPLETELY stock, it doesn't come preinstalled with ADW launcher but the developer said they will be including more features to differentiate it from CM in the future.

I found the most interestingly named directory on my EVO called tombstones...anyone know what it is lol?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd0axs:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
Doesn't mean the app didn't do it. When I first downloaded SNESoid, it created a "roms" and "saved state" folders in my SD card. It's possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccossin:
Tombstones is in the /data directory on the device internal memory. It's not created by an app, but I'm not sure what it's for either. Mine's empty.

This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] detcup4evr:
Just noticed I have a tombstone dir as well, got a couple things in there. When I view as txt it looks like they might be dumps from force closes. A couple of the logs were from nitrodesk (touchdown) and one from pandora

I just checked the time stamp and it is only from last time I restarted my phone, and pandora didn't fc on me today but that time stamp is about the time I stopped it. My guess is if I reboot those logs get cleaned, apps that andriod thinks shuts down not cleanly must dump there. Is my guess
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalm:
Here's my understanding of it:

The tombstone directory is used when an app crashes in Linux. When the crash occurs, a sort of system dump is placed in the tombstone directory. That dump can then be used by a developer to try and determine why the app crashed.

For some technical info, you can check out this article:

Does anyone know if you still need to keep profiles if you are running a smartass/savagedzen governor?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I don't believe so, as the governor and setcpu would counterbalance each other. You can keep the profiles, just don't enable setcpu.

http://www.globaldirectparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SMSNG6098530

Price has increased from $15 to $30 now. Need to purchase 3.

EDIT: Minimum order is now 3 instead of 2.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
damn, they are probably reading forums and saw the demand is pretty high :D

anybody wants to split an order?

actually I tried to place an order, it says minimum of 2 orders for 2 covers. so that's 4 ($57.98)
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
I saw... that's pricey. They are crazy!!!!!!!

Ill split an order.
[Nexus S Accessories] nxt:
Out of stock again. I want a white one. :P
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
already lol
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I check and it says it is.

But now minimum order of 3 wtf
[Nexus S Accessories] Gilg@mesh:
assholes, first 15usd and minimum 2, now 30usd and minimum 3, wtf 90usd + shipping.. who the hell needs 3 back covers...
[Nexus S Accessories] jayvo:
Are they serious? $30 for ONE back and you must order 3???

In a few months these backs will be all over eBay for $12-$15 :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
Lets hope. Im in no rush.
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
Nobody should purchase from these guys.... a case runs for 30 get that....as time goes by, you can purchase a back cover for 15bucks in the future.
[Nexus S Accessories] n1ggyn1ce:
damn, I just purchased 2 yesterday night even though it was overpriced..surprised they jumped to minimum of 3 that fast. Maybe I'll sell my extra case once it arrives.
[Nexus S Accessories] Master™:
This company always jumps.

When people were getting FFC's for the vibrant, they had it at like $17 and min 1. Then they made it $17 min 2, then min 3, and they eventually got up to like min 10 or something. Then they came back to min 3
[Nexus S Accessories] cozmo5050:
anyone have a spare

Nexus S battery door cover, i need one.

Send me a PM.

btw, this phone is sick. much better than the vibrant/captivate/i9000.

im just sad there's no microSD slot.
[Nexus S Accessories] Proteus27:
i want a white case
[Nexus S Accessories] MadFerIt2011:
I wouldn't bother with this company, just wait. Nexus S is about to launch on numerous other carriers so it should be far cheaper to get an OEM backdoor in the future.
[Nexus S Accessories] johnkim0011:
Anyone has one for sale?
[Nexus S Accessories] n1ggyn1ce:
so I got this reply from them:

Attention Customers,

Recently you placed an order for "SMSNG6098530-OEM Samsung Nexus S GT-19020T Battery Door". There are two Battery Door Versions that exist for this item. One is an NFC Contact Enabled Unit, while the other is a standard Battery Door. If you purchased this with the intention of using the NFC Functions, the version we sell is not the NFC Unit, but the standard Battery Door. We will not fulfill your order and will grant a refund if you require the NFC Version of the Battery Door, but we require you reply to this email (at sales@globaldirectparts.com) with your order number and refund request, all refunds will then be processed within 5-7 business days. Furthermore, if the standard battery door is acceptable please reply to this email and request that we process your order as is.

so our OEM battery cover is NFC enabled? Should I go ahead and order the standard battery cover?
[Nexus S Accessories] nxt:
Depends, do you want to use NFC? If you don't then get the standard (should be cheap), if you do, don't get it, since they don't have it.
[Nexus S Accessories] jsalgado:
I got the the same e-mail from globaldirectparts.com I told them to forget about the order and that I would be warning all of you not to work with these people. I am not going to pay $30 for a door that is not OEM (regardless of what they say).

First they raised the price by $15 dollars to $30.

then

They raised the minimum order from 2 doors to 3 doors.

then

They try to bait and switch the product for a sub-standard door AT THE SAME PRICE.

I got a voice-mail from Robert at globaldirectparts.com expressing his regret for the "misleading listing" and called the situation he put his customers in as a "potential mistake." He could not even call globaldirectparts.com actions for what they were a FLAT OUT MISTAKE. He went on to say "I hope you don't bad mouth us." I do not think letting people know exactly what happened and letting the facts fall is bad mouthing. If the plain facts makes globaldirectparts.com look bad then you should change your business practices. Why put an item for sale and say is in stock if you don't have it? Is it, like I have stated, globaldirectparts.com's way of bait and switching its customers?

I for one will not be shopping with globaldirectparts.com again and urge you all to keep my account in mind if you see yourself in need of parts. There are plenty of other places you can get parts such as ebay.com or cnn.cn. You wont be getting any less service than what you find at globaldirectparts.com.
[Nexus S Accessories] leyvatron:
I wouldn't buy.... no NFC for 30 bucks.... they are crazy!!!
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I think I questioned that awhile back, I guesd my gut feeling was right. Sucks though since they are the only site that gets hit when you google nexus s battery cover. OEM cover.
[Nexus S Accessories] Keith02:
Who else sells the NS battery door? anyone have another source?

I sure would love a white one! Doesnt show all the scratches as much as black...
[Nexus S Accessories] cozmo5050:
i gave up and ordered 3 w/ NFC from GlobalDirectParts. Then, 3 days later, then sent me an email:

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience, however, we are not able to obtain the OEM Samsung Nexus S GT-I9020T Battery Doors WITH the NFC Connector. When it was first listed on our site, it was immediately moved to Out of Stock, however, you must have placed your order in the short window from the time the option was activated until it was placed out of stock.

We can fulfill the order with OEM Samsung Nexus S GT-I9020T Battery Doors WITHOUT the NFC Connector, or alternatively, we can cancel the order and refund your payment.

Please advise us how you would like to proceed.

And um, do you have their number? That would be fantastic
[Nexus S Accessories] IcOpRo:
This is pretty cool, you can get the limited edition Doors on ebay already, although they come from Japan but no NFC antenna(chip). I dont have NFC use yet around here.. but its a little pricy. IMO

[Nexus S Accessories] ztm.000:
Any word on this Ki$han? I would like to know the number and what you said :)
[Nexus S Accessories] Ki$han:
I called 888-987-4357 asked them to tranfer you to tech support and they will help you out. You need IMEI number for some reason, without that they won't do anything.

I don't know the exact number because they transfer me both times. Let me know how it goes.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ki$han:
I told them I can not use my phone without back cover. I spent almost $600 for the phone and I can not even use it. It is not covered by warrenty so after few mins they transfer me to resell (basically a tech center) and they had one back cover with NFC. It seemd like they transfered me to one of the Asian countries because I can tell by the way they speak.
[Nexus S Accessories] Ki$han:
I told them I can not use my phone without back cover. I spent almost $600 on it and I have to use my old phone (Which is not bad BTW, yes I am talking about N1). Back cover is not covered by the warrrenty so after talking with them for few mins they transfered me to resell (basically a tech center) and they had one in stock. again I am sorry I don't have the direct number but whatever option you pick and if they don't help then ask them to transfer you to tech center.
[Nexus S Accessories] kappamax:
The point of NFC

Near-field communication (NFC) is a short-range (4inches) wireless technology for reading, writing and transferring information between NFC devices. It has many uses, the first one to come to mind is transit applications, and e-money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_field_communication

One of Google's big use cases is for use in smart posters, eg. posters with an embedded NFC chip which when read by your phone could open a URL, send a SMS or call a number. The Nexus S is the first Android phone with NFC, so its potential is now being exploited by developers. Mobile companies are strictly looking at using it for mobile payments. NFC can be added to phones later on using NFC enabled SD cards or SIM cards by the carrier.

However, as the developer of the NFC Task Launcher shows it can be used to control tasks on your phone. I currently have an NFC tag at home that I use to switch Wifi on and off with my phone. Without widespread adoption of NFC this app is probably the best use of it for early adopters.

Personally I'd never give up NFC on my phone for a "white" battery door cover. That's basically crippling your phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] kms108:
i will be going to china in a few days, i'll check whether they are available, everything is available there, even the white iphone front and back covers are available.

[Nexus S Accessories] johnkim0011:
What did you ask when you called them? Thanks!
[Nexus S Accessories] TerpU82:
I told them my IMEI number and info, they made a customer profile for me, then asked what was wrong after verifying a ton of stuff.

I told them I broke the back of my phone, and the battery keeps slipping out. They sent me to the website but I told him I had it open and there was unfortunately not a backplate for the phone sold on their website. He put me on hold for a while.

Came back and said they have some in stock, and that it costs $16.xx. So I gave him my cc info and it's on its way :)
[Nexus S Accessories] ztm.000:
