[Atrix 4G General] Kaaji1359:
Hello,

I'm getting 200-300 kbps (approximately 25-40 kB/s) in the Golden/Boulder area of Colorado which isn't even enough to stream Pandora; interestingly enough, at my house I get 1100 kbps but as soon as I leave the house it lowers. I called tech support and they said I might have a faulty device. My first question is: has anyone else's Atrix 4G gotten horrible speeds like this?

Second question: assuming I do get a replacement Atrix, what all do I have to do to get my phone back to normal? I have GMail for calendar and mail; I'm not worried about saving any SMS'; I have Titanium Backup for my apps. Is there anything else I'm forgetting?

Lastly, I've never actually restored using Titanium Backup. What should I expect? How much re-customization will I have to do after I restore all my apps, etc.?

Thanks

Mine did, I got a new device and the 4G sim. Works great now!

I get 3-4mbps on the speakeasy.net/speedtest test (Atlanta server, I'm in upstate South Carolina)
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
I'm in Denver and regularly get 1000 kbps - 2500 kbps down depending on where I am. I live in a foothills town west of Denver and work in Downtown Denver. Also, my fiance lives in Lakewood, so I'm around town quite frequently. I know there are some data/coverage gaps along HWY 93 between Golden and Boulder, is this where you are talking about?

edit: for me, it seems like data speeds in general have been slower lately all around Denver. I don't know if towers are getting updated or what, but I thought I would share that with you. With that being said, I don't think I have ever seen 3G speeds as low as 200-300 kbps, so it may be a phone issue.

Edit 2: I just did several speed tests from my desk in downtown (speedtest.net app, xtremelabs speed test app, speakeasy speed test) and couldn't get over 300 kbps down. Something must be up with the towers...
[Atrix 4G General] Kaaji1359:
Yes, the area on HWY 93 is where I travel mostly. My GF lives in Boulder south of CU Boulder near NIST, so unfortunately I'm guessing that that "dead area" expands into her area as well :(

My house in Golden can sometimes get 1100 kbps (just tested and got 1478 kbps) until I venture north onto HWY 93... So you think it's just AT&T's fault instead of my faulty device?
[Atrix 4G General] co.ag.2005:
Honest opinion, I think its the fault of the terrain... i.e. foothills, all the drops and rises in terrain, etc. Give it a few more days to see and test in other areas as well. I now gotta figure out why all of a sudden I can't get much above 300 kbps in downtown... :(

sent from my Atrix
[Atrix 4G General] Techcruncher:
Im in texas, and I regularly get 4.5-5.5 down.

****ty 256k upload tho XD
[Atrix 4G General] squarejp:
I thought AT&T's HSPA+ network is not ready yet.

iPhone 4 uses HSPA only

Please confirm with reference thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] just_mike:
I live on the east side of denver and work down in the Tech Center. The best I have seen is 1.6 down and 150kbps up.

Something has got to give
[Atrix 4G General] M!ST:
I'm at CU in my dorm and I can't get over 300 either :(
[Atrix 4G General] JayRolla:
Im down in Colorado Springs and I was getting 1200-1600kbs down. Now its very inconsistent the last week or so and I see 200-300kbs and sometimes it jumps up too normal speeds. I cant even load a youtube video sometimes.

I then connect too my home wifi and consitently see 8000kbs no problem so I know its not the speed test. I hope they fix this data issue.
[Atrix 4G General] Kaaji1359:
Just so you guys know, after I talked to AT&T technical support and the guy at the AT&T store about getting a measly 180-200 kbps down in Boulder, he decided it might be a good idea to replace my phone "just in case."

Nothing has changed. I haven't visited Boulder and I won't until the weekend, but Golden has remained the same (600-1200 kbps).

He did mention that his colleagues laugh about how Boulder is a "black hole" and how nobody ever gets much signal down there. I think this is a result of AT&T rather than the phone... Hopefully in time the network will get better because I'm locked in for 2 years.
[Atrix 4G General] M!ST:
I can understand the "black hole" concept. After talking to a representative in the store (I had issues making calls on my captivate during football games), he said it was due to the lack of towers in Boulder that contribute to the lack of quality reception. They've tried to put more up but are usually vetoed down due to the towers taking away the "beauty" of Boulder. :\
[Atrix 4G General] Kaaji1359:
Lol... That makes sense. The people there would veto it...

:(

Ha. Very, very true

How do we setup port forwarding on Android? I googled and can't find a solution.. For ex..

I want to forward all incoming connections on tcp port 1234 to localhost:1235

How can I do this? I know in linux we would just do it by iptables..

Any insight?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] s0ber13:
anyone -_-
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] souleman:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wuzz3r:
Right, I have a rooted DHD running CM7 if that matters, but I have been using widget locker for a while, and decided I want to take a break from it, so I turned it off in the widget locker settings, then I lock my phone and unlock it to find that there is absolutely nothing apart from my wallpaper and my status bar, so I have tried a reboot, comes back to the same blank screen, battery pull does the same, I cannot hold down home to bring up recent apps.. And I don't really want to have to flash a new rom/restore from a backup..

So I was wandering is there a way to force start an app through ADB or similar? For example, if I could force widget locker to come up, I could re-enable it and the problem would be gone, or if I could force start my launcher I could go into the settings etc, can this be done or am I stuck with restoring a backup/flashing a new rom? Thanks in advance..

Also, irritatingly, when I hold the power button to bring up the power menu my launcher is visible for about 0.5 seconds, and I cannot interact with it, because I am in my power menu :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wuzz3r:
Ok, I fixed it, for anyone who has this issue, what you need to do is phone yourself from a different phone, answer the call and then press home to bring the home screen up, go to widget locker and re activate it :) Phew..
[XPERIA X8 General] godfadger:
Good job on this
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
Restoring your Phone to It's previous working state

To restore you phone back to how it was before you started all this all you need to do is Boot xRecovery by hammering the back button once you see the very first Sony Ericsson which takes you into xRecovery.

Then use the volume up and down on the side of the phone and choose backup and restore and you can choose advanced restore to restore a different component or just do a restore to do the whole phone back as it was.

I have just restored back successfully!
[XPERIA X8 General] skowrone:
is there a big risk that i will damage my phone in case i will do everything in #1post step by step with instruction?
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
I don't really think so, but there is always the possibility when flashing your phone that you might Brick it.

I didn't break mine and I will do this to test every new firmware that comes out and because I've done it once most of the hard work is done which was installing xRecovery.

In short I offer you no guarantee this won't brick your phone what you do is at your own risk, but I had no trouble.
[XPERIA X8 General] skowrone:
Yeah i know this that im doing it on my own risk, im only asking of probability of breaking phone cus i want root and install custom rom but i have a little bad luck :P
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
OK,

I don't know about failures - I haven't seen anyone complaining about destroying their phone and it didn't happen to me, that's all I know sorry.
[XPERIA X8 General] stef.t97:
super manager isn't copying and pasting files. i follow the guide and when i click paste, nothing happens.

edit: it just says "prepare to copy" when i try to copy the files, then nothing when i paste
[XPERIA X8 General] Drakenfall:
In supermanager open the folder system and then select the folder Bin, you have to change the folder from read to read and write first before u can copy anything.
[XPERIA X8 General] stef.t97:
thanks, realized i hadn't given super manager super user permission. what do i do differently when installing Rachts Roms because they don't come with an update.zip?
[XPERIA X8 General] Drakenfall:
When u have Xrecovery and make an backup it will create a folder in SD card "backup" after u download the Rom from racth u put the folder on the backup folder, then in XRecovery u go to backup then restore, u will see the rom there, just press ok and it will do the rest like the zip file.
[XPERIA X8 General] genghisk:
to the OP thanks a Lot i appreciate this Guide!

and on the same vein as the others i am having some problems pasting the contents of the ROM. i have given Super manager root prves. but it says not enough free desc space which seems right to me cus there is only 128Mb storage on the phone.

i feel like i am missing sumthing basic please assist me, Thanks!
[XPERIA X8 General] mss_2212:
Just need to be well prepared!!!!

Based on my experience.. I didn't really know what I've done that make my phone cannot boot... it's all because not really prepared... Need to do some research and reading 1st..

Luckily, when done some reading, I manage to boot the phone after flashing with SEUS..

And after that... I prepare to do checklist... Now.. Everything seems OK...
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
With your phone did you get a 2GB SD card? I did with mine and that's where you need to copy the ROM files to(you need to copy the files in windows to the SD card). The only thing I was copying with super manager was the xRecovery files. (and I'm not sure I needed to do that since you kinda install xrecovery on the flash tool, I just posted exactly what I did)

mss_2212, yeah using the SE repair might get you out of a few scrapes, it's good that they offer such a utility to completely flash your phone back to the latest SE update!
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
Well, V6.0a is now out I am downloading that as we speak.

:)
[XPERIA X8 General] genghisk:
^^ how is it running? i see BlueTooth not working. :(

i realize my error you were talking about copying the files for Xrecovery i thought you were referring to the ROM files.
[XPERIA X8 General] ClaudioNid:
Thanks for the help! I hope I success for the install of the last custom rom from CM 2.3! If it's good, it will be translate for the french forums! ;-)
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
I'm still setting it up to how I like it but so far so good - it's nie and stable for me and WI-FI works which is a dream.

Don't forget to make a backup first of your old ROM though!

Thanks
[XPERIA X8 General] ClaudioNid:
Hi!

I tried to install the last 2.3.3 CM7 with this guide, but I get a problem with the X10 flashtool... In fact, I don't understand if I have to lauch the .exe in my phone, or in the PC. Because with the phone I can "ask root perms" but I get an error (it says me to use usb debug the phone and install...) but I think that I've followed the guide :confused: And since the PC, there is no file in the "firmware" fold...

So I install the custom ROM, without that step, and it success, even if I get another problem, but I think, because of the instability of the rom (no market, and no possibility to dl by internet)

Thanks for the help! ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
Hello,

Not quite sure what you're getting at, I will try to help if I can (I'm still a bit of a noob really myself)

You need to run the x10 flash tool on the PC with your phone connected in usb debugging mode before it will work.

"Then before you plug the phone back in you need to put it into USB debugging mode again. Go into settings - applications - Development and click on the tick next to USB debugging to turn it on. Plug the phone back into the PC."

The Market and other applications are included in the latest version(.6a as of this writing) in a zip file called gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip to install them you need to boot into xRecovery and choose install custom zip and then point it to that file which is next to the install.zip. Then the market will work.

v.6a is really nice but ultimately I had to revert because I needed to take some pics but a lot of stuff is working well!
[XPERIA X8 General] ClaudioNid:
Thanks! I didn't see that market is in the file! In fact...I didn't understand why a such "gapps..." file! I try that evening! Thanks mrlistersir! :)
[XPERIA X8 General] mrlistersir:
Heh no problem, I also didn't notice and had to ask on the main thread before I knew!

[Optimus 7 General] reality_zombie:
Okay.

Im from Singapore and I just got my LG Optimus 7 from a TelCom named StarHub.

Firstly, its an awesome phone!

Got home and realize that the WiFi has an issue.

Checked on forums and notice the error seemed to be a common error.

Ive read a post by a Singaporean named by Gurucanto here in XDA-Dev saying that he went to LG and got it fixed or something.

Should I do the same thing?

and which should i go? Alexandra Road or Causeway Point?
[Optimus 7 General] reality_zombie:
Okay nvm. I think its working now. I could connect to my home WiFi so I'm okay for now. Just one question. How do I disable the auto rotate?
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
IMHO you can't disable auto rotate. Maybe if you'll find in reg, but I don't think so. Auto rotate is a part of IE (ex.) and many apps in WP7. Look you have another screen in vertical mode and horizontal mode. Many apps works that same. Maybe I'm wrong ;)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbrudolph:
Hey Everyone,

Wanting to flash a new ROM but hate losing my call history and text msg logs. I know it has to be possible to save them to my computer and reload once the new ROM is updated.

So can you help tell me where they are saved in the phone so I can export them.

I am currently using xtrSENSE4.6.5 & using the basic msg program included in the ROM.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
There are a couple of apps in the market - SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore - same developer - that will let you backup and restore texts and call logs across ROMs. The backups are saved to your SD card. The only issue is that the SMS app will not restore MMS messages, but if that's not an issue, this works well.

If it is an issue, there is another pseudo solution (which I actually like more.) SMS Backup+ will backup SMS and MMS messages to a label in your gmail account (by default it is a label called "SMS") and can also store call logs in a label as well (I believe that the label is "Call logs" by default). This can also restore from gmail to a new ROM. It also cannot restore MMS messages, but they will be stored in your Gmail account for reference if you need them. The cool thing about this app is that it runs a backup every time a message is received, or every hour for messages that you send (though if you send and then get a reply the reply will kick off a backup that will grab the one that you sent.) SMS Backup+ can also create a calendar entry in a calendar of your choice for calls (both made and received) if that is helpful.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the kid escobar:
Just don't make any major drug deals while running that app...lol

[HD2 General] MGA2009:
Hi.

Just a quick question for those who know for

certain

.

I have a TMOUS HD2 with broken LCD and DIGITIZER

Would a HTC LEO HD2 LCD ASSEMBLY (that includes digitizer) work on the TMOUS?

I know that some are soldered and some are solderless but that's the digitizer to the lcd. I am asking for the complete assembly.

I've read al posts regarding digitizer and broken lcd but none answered this.

Bye.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
If you have a link you can post to what gou are looking at purchasing this would greatly help. But if it is the complete assembly it should have a ribbon comming off of it with a female (I think) typ co.nector on it that plugs onto the mainboard. And if it says Leo than it mudt be for the TMOUS HD2. But like I said a link would be helpful.
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
It is the complete assembly.

It does have a ribbon coming out that plug to the motherboard but it's there any difference apart from the digitizer to lcd connector?

I mean...

lcd+digitizer connector to motherboard it's the same?

length of digitizer assembly it's the same?

tmous hd2 motherboard are compatible with EU HTC Hd2 lcd+digitizer assembly?

Best Regards.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
OK first off do not buy it just cause I say it lookes cool too me. For I have never taken a HD2 apart I have just done my very fair share of research on the HD2. This includes tbe hardware replacements and watch videos on JTAG and how to totally disassemble and reassemble a HD2 and the one on the top that says T-Mobile looks like the one to me.
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
I have disassembled and fixed several HD2 but they were all T-Mobile US HD2!

Now I have to fix a TMOUS HD2 but I can only get HTC LEO EU HD2 lcd+assembly.

Will it work? Let's hope it does.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok call me stupid but I thought a TMOUS HD2 is a T-Mobile HD2. TMO= T-Mobile and US=United States.
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
no man you are not stupid.

tmous = tmobile us hd2

but eu htc hd2 its the debranded phone; the one that dont have colored home send back and end buttons and does not say T-Mobile

the lcd assembly of the latter works on the first one?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Ok I mess understood you and I also was not noticing the EU in "HTC LEO EU HD2 lcd+assembly." I totally understand your concern. I have heard some say they got it to work and some say they could not. Best of luck dude.
[HD2 General] Boradan:
they are 2 different phones.

TMOUS stands for TMObile USa - the AMERICAN HD2 with a green call button and a red end button. These buttons are both black in the EUropean version.

The American phone needs the LCD/digitser thats at the TOP of the pic. the part that ends in '0300-00P'

The european phone needs the one ending in '0295-00P'

Andy
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
I know TMOUSE use the one in the top (solderless) and EU HTC use the bottom one (soldered) but the male connection from the lcd+digitizer to the motherboard it's the same on both.

Will they be interchangeable?
[HD2 General] Boradan:
Not interchangable. the TMOUS is about 2mm bigger than the EU HD2. Im sitting here with both phones and there is a noticable size difference between them.

Andy
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
Thanks man.

And what do you think about motherboard and internals?

Probably the same right?
[HD2 General] Boradan:
Probably not the same since the TMOUS has 1024mb of storage whereas the european one only has 512mb. Not sure about other differences though....

You see internals for sale on ebay and they all make a differentiation between TMOUS and EU versions.

Andy
[HD2 General] MGA2009:
Thanks for your answer...

I was aware of the difference in storage, but the y should be the same on size, connectors, etc.

I will report with my results.

Best Regards.
[HD2 General] rraja83:
Hi bro

i have same problem as your.i broke my digitzer and i bought the one with solder on connector.But when i open my phone and find out that digitizer has connector to lcd and also lcd has a crack as well p/n on lcd is 600H00300-00P and its is NOT T-mobile as it is australian bought phone and has no T-mobile logo on front.....so now i want to know that should i buy old number LCD P/N 60H00295-00P(this one solder on digitizer). and will the main connector fit the motherboard socket.. or just but the whole new assembly.

any help appreciated

Thanks

Raja
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
Clarification!

The motherboards are slightly different (technically & shape).

But

lcd+touchscreen/digitizer combo

is interchangeable between TMoUS HD2 and EU HD2: that's 100%!

Cheers!
[HD2 General] fun321:
Thank you, bib*oops, for the clarification on the motherboards. Do you know if it is possible to put a Europe-Hd2 motherboard into a US-HD2, and if it would work? I broke my TMOUS motherboard (tried to re-heat the CPU because of overheating issues and fried it in the process :(), but now I'm in Europe and the only thing I can get my hands on are Europe-HD2 motherboards. Thank you for any info.
[HD2 General] agustinpac:
Hi guys,

I change screens here in my country. The screens are not interchangeable. You should buy the complete screen for your device (Tmous or Eu).
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Screens are interchangable between TMOUS & EU as long as connector is same.

TMOUS has only socket connector type for digi to LCD

EU can have either socket type or solder between digi to LCD

You can check this via bootloader (original SPL needed) & read screen type code to check if solder or later socket connector type, so no need open device first.

LCD to mainboard is same on them all.

EU mainbord will fit in TMOUS but micro usb & headset jack sit lower in housing & can be an issues with some lead types not fitting as well as should.
[HD2 General] Wlld1:
I have new EU digitizer, new EU screen and T-MOUS HD2. When I install it on T-MOUS mobo digitizer does not work at all, screen is pretty good. I know that mobo is working, because I have T-MOUS assembly too. Does EU digitizer is faulty (it looks like a new with no cable damage and soldered right) or they are not interchangeable?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
Check mainboard ribbon connection. should work fine have swapped EU lcd & digi to TMOUS before without issue ...
[HD2 General] retrorobot:
I have the same problem,

fried USA motherboard and I live in Europe.

so you have managed to put euro motherboard in tmobile us case and connect it to tmobile us lcd and screen combo ?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
can be done but do remember usb & audio sockets on EU mainboard fall a little short in the longer TMOUS casing.

I had a great condition EU HD2 but bad digi so swapped digi & lcd from TMOUS to EU but have also had a EU mainboard in a TMOUS handset before.
[HD2 General] retrorobot:
Does it make any difference that eu motherboard has lower specs (ram/rom) than us ?

Will it be slower running win 7.8 ?

I figure that it should not matter , since i've read that the ram is just hidden, and about ROM memory, i figure it doesnt matter, since it was just bloatware , right ?

and also, you said 'LCD to mainboard is same on them all.' - So since I have lcd/touch combo working, i dont care about solder/socket differences, because they are already combinet.And connection of motherboard to three flex cables (lcd,keys,and the big flex with camera module) are the same

So how did you charge it ? just filed a bit of socket to make it more shallow or ?
[HD2 General] Mister B:
RAM is same

ROM is less & that is main bonus of TMOUS

In my opinion WP7.8 runs just as bad/faulty on either EU or TMOUS HD2

All ribbons will attach to mainboard no problem

USB & headset jack sitting lower all depends on the usb cable & headset being used. some USBs have longer plug before the start of the plastic shoulder thus will work (difference is around 1.2mm)

Personally I prefer fitting a TMOUS board to a TMOUS HD2 but that easier said than done as sourcing a board or donor TMOUS HD2 outside the US is not easy or cheap so the EU mainboard is a compromise ...
