My normal 3g is about 700kb down.

I got into a 4g outside Chicago and just hit 5.5Mbps! Very nice...
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
I usually get around 700 down on 3G, 4G can be anywhere from 7 to 10 down.
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Edit* just tested 220 kbps down and 17 kbps upload that was 3G

4G was 2000 kbps(2 mbps right?) And 25 kbps upload I hate Sprint in my town

Wow zero I wish my download speed would be over 500 kbps down and more than 20 kbps up lmao its been like this for months on 4 g with fair signal I get 1 mbps and its every evo on my plan getting that crappy service

tango works and supposedly skype
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZuneLune:
Tango worked for me

I successfully used Tango with an iPhone user, but none of the other solutions worked.

I assumed Google Talk would work, but boy, was I wrong. I am almost a bit appalled that it was not ready, especially with no Skype. At least Skype was clear that they are working on something. Hopefully they will launch that for the Xoom at the same time.

Oovoo was an utter failure for me. Used the rear camera only and no sound.

Fring did not utilize video for Google Talk or MSN Messneger, so I didn't really try it.

I think if there is egg on Verizon's face, it is over not having a video chat service working for us.

i use tango, works pretty well, but for some reason get a screeching noise when tango'ing with another thunderbolt

Tango works for me. I was also able to make a video chat with a iphone that also had tango installed.

yeah what is up with that. Tango with iphone users work fine but with another thunderbolt and the audio doesnt work at all and makes crazy skreetching noises then mute.. kinda weird.

If you get your hands on one...

..would you mind posting an indepth analysis of the gps (navigation etc while driving in cities-country without agps support) in sgs2? Rest of the flaws in sgs were all fixed by xda and it was a brilliant phone. It saddens me to see people with prototypes fixating on lag etc which is easily fixable. If there is confirmation of working gps on this it will be well worth waiting even until summer. Almost tempted to pull the trigger for nexus s as soon as it lands with att friendly 3g as the ip is suffocating me :p

have you done any reaading.. agps does nothing for driving around.. it is only used to get an initial fix quicker.

Guide to go from Dz-Hboot back to G2-Hboot (unity and doubleshot users)( For G2 only)

Update 5 July 2011

People who are concerned with flashing DZ-hboot on the G2 for Unity rom or Doubleshot rom..... You can use this guide to Return to your G2 Hboot be it Eng version or stock version .All the warnings and disclaimer posted in the first post apply here too.

This is not For Desire Z owners. You will brick your phone if you apply G2 hboot onto Desire Z

STEPS:

(do a nandroid before starting incase you need to restore if phone gets stuck on htc screen after this procedure)

1. For G2 Eng-Hboot download this vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip

2. Now simply extract the hboot-eng.img file from the zip and compare its Md5sum of the hboot-eng.img file with this md5sum 7669AE12DC2FAA10AE555A164980EFD0 and copy to your fastboot/adb folder ....

3. Then, from your computer go to command prompt and than go into your fastboot/adb folder

adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local

4. After the file is pushed to the phone using this command:

first write in command prompt

adbshell

and let adb deamon start...... you should see a $ or # depending on whether

you have super user permissions or not....now write

md5sum /data/local/hboot-eng.img

and it should show up something like this

md5sum /data/local/hboot-eng.img

7669ae12dc2faa10ae555a164980efd0 /data/local/hboot-eng.img

compare the Md5sums here from your phone .....

5. This next step is CRUCIAL. You must make sure that you are writing to the proper partition here or you could brick your phone. To be absolutely clear- the partition is mmcblk(zero)p(one)(eight) I'd recommend using an adb shell from your computer (with root privileges: just unlock your phone, run 'su' in adb shell, a window will pop up in your phone asking you to allow it to run, check for it to remember, then allow, the prompt in adb shell will change to '#') for the following command, as it will permit you to copy/paste it: ( if your already seeing # than you already have superuser permissions in adbshell)

dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

That should do it. You can verify that you have the Eng-HBOOT by restarting the phone into the bootloader it should say IN Second line "HBOOT-0.76.2000"

and your done :)

if your stuck on htc screen after restarting means all your partitions have been wiped. go into recovery ( ignore any errors like cannot mount cache) . do a full wipe,than wipe cache and finally wipe dalvik cache from advanced. than restore your nandorid backup. and preferably not of unity or doubleshot rom cause that will not fit in system partition....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spaghetti-XRY:
Do you think is possible to do the same thing with a Desire HD ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
i dont see why it shouldnt be possible if you used the ENG-hboot by the method used in wiki....

but generate your own hboot by extracting from your stock desire HD rom.....all the best :)

and im not responsible if you brick it your doing it at your own risk.... but i used this method for my desire Z..... and it worked perfectly.....

Edit: if you do try it and it works ... do post it here ... ill update the first post adding a note to confirm this method working for Desire HD too :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] blahbl4hblah:
Is this going to work on g2?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
worked for me on desire z.... g2 is identical...... so yea it should..... but like i said before .... generate your own hboot from stock rom..... as the one i posted was for desire z.....

make sure your s-off via gfree......and follow the guide very carefully

and i am not responsible is you mess it up
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spaghetti-XRY:
Ok I'll try but just if I can reach what I want....

I've a vodafone DHD locked with cid VODAP004 (something like that), I've done s-OFF and Eng S-OFF, unlocked and superCid. Now i was thinking that if I install a stock HBOOT from RUU I can back to S-On, setting cid to HTC_001 and receive OTA from HTC, forgetting everything related to vodafone. Is it possible? Or in my phone there'll be always a reference to vodafone? I'm telling this because now when I boot in recovery my CID is 11111111, but when I do "getpro ro.cid" (I don't know if its written well) in adb shell it tells me: VODAP004.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
umm... im not sure sure of the desire HD recommended premanent rooting methods so what i say about rooting you should better confirm in the desire HD forum aswell... but if the same situation was here on desire Z.... here is the general concept of how it would be achievable....

1. install Gfree and do S-off using that as eng-Hboot s-off is not a proper S-off and g-free actually turns it off....

2. after your G-free s-off use the -f command given in the wiki that converts the CID to 111111.

3. than use my procedure to get back to the stock HBOOT... you would still be S-off than simply install a stock rooted WWE desire HD latest rom posted in your dev section

now according to my understanding with g free s-off all the sim locks and carrier locks are removed you can flash any rom... but its always recommended to install rooted rom posted on the dev forum with latest updates for WWE rom rather than going for a signed update from HTC.... or doing an OTA.....

even though i think that gfree s-off cannot be broken by stock non rooted rom... there is a danger it might and if it does you can end up with a brick until your vodafone comes up with an update number higher than your installed bricked rom...

hope this helps
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spaghetti-XRY:
Well, lets better going in details:

1) I bought a vodafone, sim locked, desire hd. Baseband 1.7x - CID vODAP304

2) Than I've downgraded using the guide of desire Z, rooted with gfree -f (unlock, radio s-off, supercid) and used also One Click Tool to have eng s-off.

3) Installed a RUU 1.75 baseband stock - CID through recovery is 1111111, through terminal (getprop ro.cid) is VODAP304 [It's a known "bug", but the phone read the bootloader's cid and lets use any sim]. - Same situation if I install a custom rom.

4) So know in recovery I got eng s-off and in system info cid is 1111111

My question now is: It's possible to have s-on, installing hboot from a stock rom and obtain OTAs from HTC (changing also CID to HTC_001) forgetting that the phone was a locked vodafone one ? Or in others words... arrive in the situation as u've bought the phone directly from HTC unbranded and unlocked: Ship S-On, unlocked, CID: HTC_001 from getprop ro.cid
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
ummm that is not possible.... as far as i think so.... but staying S-off via gfree. and keeping the carrier unlocked to CID 1111111 restoring original Hboot and installing a stock rom thats WWE rom and doing an OTA update might be possible but i cannot cannot confirm on that .... you would have to ask the creators of Gfree or mods of Gfree ... if that is possible....

its Kind of a Grey Zone.... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
it might be possible via the fact that you S-off using gfree... but when your going S-on you restore the partition 7 of a stock desire HD which was factory unlocked with cid htc_001....(you can ask for a partition 7 from someone who had factory unlocked phone) on DHD thread

its very gray zone subject.... might work out perfectly as you want it to.. or you might end up with a brick at your hands .... all depends whether you wanna try it or not ;)

if you do try do post the result here as of what happened. all the best
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spaghetti-XRY:
I read in a spanish forum that someone obtained to change CID number in "getprop ro.cid" using easy radio tool v2.2 .

For what I understand, I need to install stock kernel 1.32, than stock Radio (Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M ...this one I guess) for baseband 1.32, doing s-off change cid with easy radio tool and then OTA. I'll try.... and will let u know
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
super ... all the best buddy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Hi, Thanks for a great guide. However, it's a little bit confusing - will this work on every factory unlocked Desire Z, which have been shipped before the latest two OTA's (1.72.405.2 & 1.82.405.1)? I don't remember which software version was installed on my phone when I got it. I believe that the WWE-ROMs listed in the other thread are the ROMs for us in Europe?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
hey buddy ...well this guide is to return to your stock Hboot from ENG hboot while keeping root . and its for already rooted phones ...this guide is not for rooting. for that check wiki...

and yes my phone came with 1.34 based rom... and when i rooted it i installed eng hboot on it. later i removed the eng hboot and went back to my stock hboot using this method. and yes i have a factory unlocked desire Z too :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kenzy-FIN:
Yeah, I know this isn't about rooting, but there are several different guides for unrooting devices, which have been rooted in different ways. I rooted my Desire Z with the rollback-method, gfree/eng-hboot etc, so I suppose this method suits for my Desire Z as well. I just wanted to know it for sure to be able to download these files to my server for future use... I'm not going to unroot my phone ever, until I'll sell it to somebody else :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
yes you can .... but than you would have to restore partition 7 backup via gree and turn S-on to finish Unrooting process
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] pmcqueen:
nice and simple. thanks for the guide.

Thanks dude,

Using the same method I updated my hboot from stock [hboot_7230_Vision_HEP_0.85.0005_101011] to hboot_7230_Vision_HEP_0.85.0009_101202 of 1.82.720.1 OTA for India.

your welcome :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Thank you for this. This is exactly what i need to feel ok about flashing the dz hboot. Wanted a concrete way of going back. Thank you again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
And i'm already going back! Can't stop google from re-sycning my apps! Thats a no-go for me. I use TB and dont need that crap!! In other roms you could just unclick restore my data in the account sync setings but no such thing in these new 3.0 roms! Bye bye! Looked promising but can't do it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
heheheh yea sense 3.0 is not for everyone.... :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Not only that but after install without installing a single app, and a reboot, I had 70 mb free. No way my apps I use can work with that little.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] noodles2224:
Yeah I have this too.. gaved it a try couple days ago, it was the doubleshot rom, I have the same 64-70mb free after a reboot.. the sense looks great but damn, too low on memory. I don't get how people say its fast and snappy, just what they've been looking for. It seems rediculous to me, even in the G1 days, people were like, wow, this is great.. just what I wanted on my phone, very fast. And people were even comparing the speed to a CM rom!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xsteven77x:
Really trying not to get off topic and drive this further away from the original post but I concur with this a 100%. Either people are on crack or have never really fine tuned a rom to be as fast as me, noodles, and I'm sure many others have been able to do. Only explanations I can come up with.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
well its more like everyone has their own taste... some like sense... some like CM...and some even like MIUI and few like both and constantly switch between both.....

with the sense 3.0 there is another category to consider aswell... that is native sense 2.0 or custom modded sense 3.0 apart from CM and MIUI.

so not everyone is gonna like sense 3.0 cause its not native for our device. for me i like sense 3.0 but i am not using it as daily driver because of ghost sms issue and my 90 of phone related communication is via sms. until thats fixed im staying with GB leak sense rom....

im sure noodles has some pretty valid reason for not liking sense 3.0.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aneyboy:
i think i loaded the wrong hboot now im bricked i think it wont turn on or anything not ever go into recovery or fastboot
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
ohhh thats bad... see if you still have S off or not..... if you have it than hit the G2root channel on irc .... its link is given in sticky threads.... ppl over there will help you out :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] aneyboy:
i think i still have s off i had it before it bricked
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] linkandzelda:
I followed this guide, now i can welcome a brand new device into my life. The HTC Paper Weight.... The phone is dead it won't even turn on, won't do a thing its totally out. I had S-OFF previously and i tried the g2root channel the place is dead.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
i have put warning in RED color saying that its potentially dangerous procedure and do it at your own risk. and the first post guide states that you find your actual original RUU rom and than extract Hboot from it before proceeding .... were you using that ? or the second guide for return to G2-Eng hboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] antinerd:
Getting back the G2 ENG hboot...

Can the vision.hboot-0.76.2000.zip file from post 2 be renamed to PC10IMG.zip, copied to the root of the SD card, and flashed from bootloader? This would be for a G2 that had its hboot changed to the Desire Z hboot (to check out some sense 3 roms, at the expense of internal storage space)?

I know ADB is recommended to insure the file is not corrupt, but does ADB have to be used?

If any G2 users successfully used the bootloader method, feel free to comment. (also those who perhaps used the bootloader method to make a shiny new house brick)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
umm... no ... for the PC10img method.... i have a way in mind how it can work. but since it be risky i didnt post it cause it might work or it might just make a brick of your phone within 5 mins. thats why i didnt post it in first place....

if you wanna try that method on your G2 i can PM you how to make a pc10img with eng hboot... but all bets are off ... if you wanna try it be all on you if it goes wrong i wont be responsible....

and about the adb method... the first one is tried and tested.... i used it myself. and the ppl who got their phones bricked either messed up at some step.... or they used wrong Hboot .... or they didnt have G free s-off before starting....

and the method posted on the second post is actually a derivative of the first method. just modified to install eng Hboot instead of stock hboot....i personally think both should be safe. but proceed with due caution. and make sure you understand everything before proceeding and read the Disclaimer in RED font on first post before proceeding.....

and if the method works for you do post it in the thread and Hit the Thanks button too ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
if you can .... download the pc10img.zip from virtuous Rom .copy it on root folder on your sd card (use someone elses phone to access the sd card or use card reader) and go into bootloader again. hopefully that will be flashed.

from what i see maybe either you have the wrong RUU pc10img thats why its being rejected. or if you flashed stock hboot which is for G2 on a desire Z. that is checking the PC10img and than rejects it because it sees your phone as G2 and rejects the desire z stock RUU pc10img
