Hi

until recently, 3.5G was known as HSPA7.2. If your device shows "H", then your device can use the HSPA (real) speeds.

If so, and your browsing is slow, then this is mainly due to saturation and low signal strength, but exists more factors.

To use another bands, you must change the service provider (and change your device). No manually way to do it.

Best regards

I recently visited Jacksonville Florida where my CM7 Rom showed me I was running on 4g. When I came back home to Virginia Beach it is showing me a H. Stock rom shows me as 4g but CM7 still shows me as H (HSPA). Is this truly telling me that I am operating on 3.5G network here in Virginia Beach?

[Atrix 4G General] ranova:
ehhhhhh.

Nexus S is already underwhelming unless youre in love with super amoled screens. and I hope the Evo 3D is not just a single core snapdragon with 3D. Even glass-less 3D is kind of a gimmick (see nintendo 3ds) and a battery drainer.

Would rather have an Evo 2 with qualcomms new dual core chip, lets hope this is it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcpfc:
Why does the Nexus S seem to create such strong opinions that people feel the need to come on here and put it down and bore the pants off us about dual *yawn* core and the latest handsets? Is it misplaced inadequacy or are Nexus S really that bad?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kah-Neth:
First off, the Nexus S is a great device. I think the polarization factor comes from two directions, first is envy. The second was this vision that the Nexus device should be this flawless god of phones. It is not, it is a dev phone, a playground for people to experiment with, and most people don't really get that.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
I haven't seen any negative topics about the Nexus S for about a month now. Maybe about certain aspects of Gingerbread, but that's it. You should have been here when it was first released. Man, it was annoying. As Kah-Neth said, some people think a Nexus S phone is the god of all phones or have to set a new standard for other manufacturers to follow.

IMO, NFC is going to be a standard which will be implemented in other phones soon enough. New processors such as dual cores isn't much of thing to set a standard for since a 1 ghz single core processor is good enough.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz2kool:
You missed the "Nexus S shines against the...." thread. Apparently there are people out there who dont even own an NS and whose sole purpose for posting on this board is to call us fanboys because we dare discuss on a NS board how the NS is a better device than these "superior" DC phones like the Atrix.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcpfc:
Seems to me that envy must play a part...if it was not out of envy for a high end, latest Google running frankly awesome device like a Nexus, certain people would be on the HTC wildfire forums or something droning on about how low end that device is (no disrespect to wildfire btw).

Seriously though, instead of being jealous, just save your pennies up and buy a second hand nexus S :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
Honestly I dont see why people envy this phone. I would have been content with keeping my g2, I feel like support between the g2 os and gingerbread is equal because we dont have alot of support as far as this os. This is why I'm currently in the move of trading for a iphone 4 they have constant updates and support whereas we are still waiting for support from skype who keeps backing out as well as other things that should be mandatory with the phones launch. When people see the phone I have they are more excited than me. I guess cause I'm rom'd out and dont have anything else to do with the phone. Who knows.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
Not only is there envy -- theres pomposity -- check this out from an unnamed nexus s owner i found whining somewhere off XDA

"I purchased a Nexus S under the assumption that Google would not be releasing a new version until a new iteration of Android was released. Now, with the rumors mounting that this may not be the case what if anything will be Google's response to users who already purchased a Nexus S? In similar cases, Apple has consistently offered refunds to consumers, will Google follow suit or will you choose instead to alienate some of your most loyal user base? I can honestly say that if the latter is true then I will be reconsidering continuing my support of the Android platform."

The balls on this dude... "if I cant have you... nobody else can"

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Yes that is my question. Where did I say anything about not wanting other people to have it? If that bothered me why not complain when the at&t version passed through the FCC. Nor did I ever say that Google should do something for me personally. I've owned my phone for over a month. I don't expect them to cut me a check. I do expect them to do something for the people who buy it close to the announcement. So now expecting morality from a company whose motto is "don't be evil" is pompous or ballsy?

Heck I don't expect them to do anything at all. Period. I posted that question to let Google know I was frustrated with this situation. If either of us is being pompous or ballsy it is you for making some pretty bold assumptions about what I meant.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
The answer is simple: expectations.

People expected very much from the Nexus S. It is a phone from Google after all. When the first rumors came, the Nexus S was going to be the first phone with dual-core, it would have Android 3.0, and it would be just awesome. When the Nexus S turned about to be something completely different, the crowd was dissapointed.

In that regard they were right. The Nexus S isn't very 'new' in terms of hardware. But as a smartphone it is very well build, and I'm not talking about the build quality. And that is what people seem to forget.

Also, the crowd showed the same reaction when the Nexus One was released. It wasn't really that special. But when the Nexus S was released, they were al saying: the Nexus One is so much better!

I don't know why everyone had that kind of expectations. Probably because it is a Google phone, and Google = Android. So it has to be good. Or something. But Google brought out a solid, unique phone, and I thank them for that.

the ns is fine for me. battery life is 100 times better than my vibrant, have flash support, ffc, quick updates, looks nice, fast. i could care less about dual core because i don't play games on my phone. anyway that's just my opinion.

and yeah, haters gonna hate. screw em.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I don't know why you would even want a dual-core phone if you don't play games. I do play games, but only games like Angry Birds, and the new released Chalk Ball! Simple games, yet very good looking and very fun to play!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I'm not against dual-core! Certainly not. I think you misunderstood me. What I'm trying to say is that the 1Ghz processor in the Nexus S makes everything smooth: from swiping through homescreens to playing Angry Birds. So what can dual-core do for you then? Play better games!

Seriously, it is just the same as with computers. Only reason they get better is because of games. I've said that like a hundred times, but it is the truth.

I'm not against dual-core, I just think it's funny everyone always wants the latest hardware, even when the old hardware is still running fine!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ap3604:
Its just trolling. Every single phone has some of it for a few months (exp: Atrix forums got trolled by Inspire users).

What made the Nexus S particularly a good target for trolls was that fact the Nexus One set a standard for Android handsets for an entire year. Google went to HTC and said "We want the best and brand new android phone hardware to push the industry and set a standard for the year to come"

Did Google do this same thing of asking for the best hardware for the Nexus S to set a standard for an entire year? Unfortunately no. Still a great niche phone for people wanting stock android but not a game changer by any means like the original Nexus.

Thats why people were pissed and made fun of the phone. They were looking at what it could have been and got mad once they saw the failed potential of the Nexus line so they decided to take out their frustrations on the forum by trolling...

I agree, the MT4G is a very nice phone. I actually had one for a few weeks before switching to the Nexus S (never looked back), gave the MyTouch 4G to my mom -- she loves it to death.

I hated the face of the phone. Very ugly to me.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz2kool:
As much as I dislike iphone, apple got it right. Its not all about the hardware. That's only half the equation. Ice Cream is supposedly going to have a hardware accelerated GUI and NS will get it before all these DC phones coming out. NS running Ice cream will be much smoother and faster than all these DC phones stuck on 2.2/2.3. If these DC phones even get Ice Cream, the next iteration of Nexus will be out, and then it will be time to move on to DC.

Like most of everyone else I had high expectations on the hardware for the Nexus S. To our surprise it was only average with a beautiful display. But once you do get it.. it is the end user experience that turns out to be awesome. You just have to realize what your paying for.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well said!

i too thought the hardware was just average, on paper. i even shunned the nexus s at first. owning a nexus one, i expected more from a google phone. but after getting a hold of a nexus s, i fell in love all over again. just like with the nexus one. but, of course, i fell in love with it for completely different reasons. i still love my N1, and use it every day. but the NS is my daily phone. the hardware spec sheet doesnt really do the nexus s any justice. overall, the NS blows other android phones out of the water.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Since the day I discovered XDA I started to like Android, and especially the Nexus S, more and more. I have been following Android since it was announced, and I have been patiently waiting for it to grow. And I think with the Nexus S Android has come to a point where it is a mature mobile OS.

Some of you have probably read the article on techcrunch, 'an iPhone lover's take on the Nexus S'. He says that the Android experience on the Nexus S is a lot better than on other devices. As an Sony Ericsson Walkman phone lover, I totally agree with him.

My only bad experience with Android has been the fact that I had to choose between two gorgeous display types. I choosed Super Clear LCD, but everytime I see a video of Super AMOLED and it's beatiful blacks, I think by myself: 'maybe Super AMOLED was the best choice after all...'
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
ow that sucks that you didnt get a Super AMOLED Nexus S. I went from a G1 to a vibrant (which also used a Super AMOLED) and the changes to me were HUGE! now that I look at a iPhone/iPod Touch or basically any phone thats less than 3.8" it looks small and i cant stand it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
Nah, It doesn't suck. I actually like Super Clear LCD better than Super AMOLED and Retina. And of course there was a huge difference between the G1 and the Vibrant. The display of the G1 sucks.

The difference between Super Clear LCD and Super AMOLED isn't that big, you know. Two examples: I saw this thread on a forum from someone asking what the i9023 model is. He said that he had read somewhere that the i9023 model doesn't have Super AMOLED, but 'I don't know how you would check this? Display is very clear with vibrant colours as expected.' Second example: a video of the Galaxy SL (with Super Clear LCD) compared to the iPhone 4. One comment was: 'uh... isn't that S-AMOLED?'

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
I think the 'problem' (as such) is relative comparisons with the Nexus One.

At the time the N1 came, it was leaps and bounds ahead of other Android phones and set the stage for the rest of the year, as it was designed to do so.

People were more than likely expecting the next Nexus phone to do the same thing (well, I was at least), but instead it was a phone that was announced in March '10 with no SD card and an NFC chip. Not exactly inspiring. Sure it's still a very good phone and I doubt anyone is really saying otherwise, but at the same time it's not what people were wanting it to be.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanoe:
Hi, I've buy an Italian Vodafone Galaxy Tab about 3 weeks ago so I'm a new users of this device (and Samsung's Android device too).

Two days ago I use the 3G data connection for the first time, and I've noticed a huge amount of data traffic monitoring the connection with traffic monitor (you can find it on the market).

I have an HTC HD2 with android before, and I use about 112 Mb of traffic in a mounth.

In one day with galaxy tab I've used 50 Mb of traffic leaving the connection actived but not in use.

So I monitored the situation and realised that :

when I turn on the 3G data connection and I leave it on stand by it doesn't generate traffic.

If I only open the browser or any application that use data, than I close it with task manager, the GT start to use data on stand by like 1 Mb every 5 minute or less.

All the auto-update of the application installed is turned off, and also the auto sync (I'm not a noob of Android) and I kill all the background app.

Anyone of you knows a solution for this problem?

It's a little bit annoying because I've a limited data plan and I can't use so large amount of data, even if I open a single web page without any plugin it use 4 Mb or even more (like 300Kb for the web page and the rest is ghost traffic).

Thank you in advance for any suggest :)

app2sd vs link2sd?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Blouw73:
link2sd, you can keep application on intern storage, so you can unplug µsd card
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
yes, but the linked apps might get messed up, if you pull the µsd card out, while the phone is turned on. better do that when your phone is turned off.

link2sd :D:D:D:D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pbezza:
Once app2sd is installed, every app gets installed to SD. With link2sd, you only move apps of your choice to sd.

I chose to leave Titanium Backup, Root Explorer and Fancy Widget in system memory. Every other app I moved to SD.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Sirquini:
Link2sd :D

Edit: It is an application so you just install it like any other .apk (and with your ext* partition). You can choice the applications you want to link to your sd
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] farsight73:
I'd installed App2SD before seeing link2sd appeared around the internet.

I have no intention of reverting everything just for the sake of link2sd since both working the same principle only that link2sd have the option to choose which app to install where..

However, all my apps specially titanium backup, root explorer, fancy widget and etc are running fine even they all were installed in the sdcard. All I do is assuming I have that extra storage by default(app2sd installed) and leave it anonymously in the background.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pongscript:
This is just based on my experience and Opinion.

Link2SD hassle free, user configurable.

App2SD hassle to install, all apps are moved to SD(not user configurable)

link2sd, I need to have the choice
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] raiderkilo:
Prefer Link2SD,have choice on my side.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] necrohades:
another argument here: Link2SD can move apk and dex files only. Data folders remains on the phone. you will notice that the more apps you install, even though you move them to ext*, your internal storage will eventually get smaller.

App2sd moves everything, so you will save more space that way.

preference then. if you need more internal space, go for app2sd. if you need some apps on the internal storage like i do (widgets, utility tools like root explorer, call meter, poweramp), use Link2sd.
