AT&T Disables HSDPA by default on Tilt 2 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

If you look through the registry, specifically at:
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\DisH
HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL\EnableHSDPAIcon
DisH is set to 1
EnableHSDPAIcon is set to 0
Why does AT&T continue to tout this device having 7.2mbps capability when they cripple it by default?
I can't wait for a stable TF3D 2.5 enabled ROM with Tilt 2 keyboard support so I can fully unleash the power of my Tilt 2.

your right, we need a keyboard cab for the tilt 2

I'm sticking to the AT&T's default ROM.. I've flashed like crazy with my previous devices, but enough.
This ROM is snappy, fast.. Just gonna remove some things I dont need, add some and im good

Man I have said that same thing plenty of times myself. I always ended up flashing a ROM within a few weeks.

Doesn't that registry setting only control the icon that shows on the top of the home screen (and not the actual speed)? AT&T disables the "H" icon by default on all of its smartphones that I've seen in favor of a "3G" icon.

Yup - thats all. U get a '3G' icon instead of 'H'. Saw that on my Q9H..

Same here with the Q9h. My unlocked Treo Pro shows the "H" by default.
The "HKLM\Software\OEM\RIL" section of the registry controls whether the icons show on the screen. I remembered that from the Q9h and modding to get the GPS signal icon to show at the top of the screen.

That only controls whether or not H is displayed instead of 3G when connected to HSDPA. It will still use HSDPA, but will show 3G. This is to make it easy and not confusing for the average person.

They are trying to restrict heavy data use because their network is falling apart from heavy iphone traffic. It was on Cnet like 2 weeks ago

I told myself the same thing...I figured I would give atts rom an honest chance, at least for the weekend for my first test run through WinMo 6.5. Ten minutes later I was flashing HardSPL and downloading Energy's rom

I'm pretty sure it's disabled out of the box...
Just ran a speed test and got a blazing fast AT&T speed of 91kbps with full 3G

I'd give him about 5 days. Once he discovers that the cooked ROMs are much better and optimzed, he will climb on aboard!

what is the first value for? the TmoUS rom has the values set as 2 & 1 respectively.

How does turning off the ICON restrict Heavy Data usage?

hardspl, keyboard
Here's your keyboard cab (i think) but could some of you who've had success with this please advise how you managed to get HardSPL working on the Tilt 2? Going crazy. Dug through the threads.

Yeah, same here. Stock ROM is decent for now until the TF 2.5 WM6.5.1 ROMs for the Tilt 2 have matured.
I'm just annoyed that I can't change to wap.cingular and tether. I can't change any of the settings....dammit!!!

The workaround for that is using the connections settings, select networks and re-create the wap.cingular profile.
If you want to enable it in internet sharing, search this forum and find the reg key that enables the wap.cingular profile for internet sharing.

Ugly 3G Icon with WM6

the 3G icon is so ugly, can some fix it with a nicer icon, I don't really mind the old U icon.
Thanks
I second this request.
i am third
this has alrady been done in a couple of roms.. do a search for "clean 3g icon" thier is a cab file that fixes this
Honestly, I am also wondering how could the manufacturing team design or make this ugly icon, they didn't "see" it before they launched?

I've used it with Black 3.5, LVSW (05/19/07), Schap's 3.30c (for 3 weeks ), and now the Cingular official rom and my battery always shows 70-90% by the end of the day. You may have a conflict with a system file that got changed when you installing your 3rd party software.
Just something to think about
thank you it works great

Dont think so as the battery warning levels are set inside the dll! No 3rd party software would affect this because it would probably affect the 3G icon.

Date and Time setting after ROM flash

There are some cooked ROMs after which I need to redo the TZ the time and the date, whereas there are other cooked ROMs that do not require this and my current date/time/tz settings survive the flash. Does anyone know why and how?
I've always had to set the date and time in every Rom I falsh. I think it's due to the release date.
It's not a big problem, right?
I never set the time/date after flashing these roms. It's automated in Schaps & TNT (and some others). They list a rom feature called "Automatic network time/zone synchronization".

This is the set up you do during the the initialization process, not after the WM6 is set up and running.

Schap's 4.01 display problem (Now with screenshots)

I was a Black user and just switched to Schap's. Really excellent ROM!!!!
But I found a little glitch with display. The fisrt is certain icons on top. Normally click on the icons on the top will show a bubble box with more option. For example click on the connection "3G" "H" "G" will show you connection time and let you disconnect . But now both Radio icon and the battery icon's bubble box go under the today screen. I can only see the top of the bubble box, like a triangle. But the Volume icon is working normally.
Just now, I found that one of my input method is facing the exact same problem.
Any idea? This is quite frustrating as I have been looking for the whole 4.01 thread but no one is complaing about the same thing. I hope it wasnt just me.
I have attached some screenshot in case you found it difficult to understand
I don't get anything if I press the battery Icon, others display correctly.
mine is just fine. mayb u should try reinstall?

I am not sure what goes wrong but since Schap said 4.20 is coming real soon. I guess I might stay a bit. If 4.20 still have the same problem with me. I have to go some other wm6 rom then.
Black is a big disappointment. Any other suggestion?
problem with battery icon
I have similar problem with battery icon. When i click with pen on battery icon, nothing happens. i hope, that version 4.2 will repair this problems with display. Maybe problem is in 3G black dialer from kaiser? I dont know. But Shaps Lite 4.01 is the best and the fastest i ever had.many thanks.

Ahh my fellow newbie. This was my biggest gripe with all the other ROMS I tried too. You are not having low battery issues, your battery meter just needs to be configured to the new rom. To do this install the new ROM and kill the battery and then let it recharge fully.
When I first installed 4.01L my battery would drop to 60% after about 3-4 hours. Yesterday I had my 4.01L Hermes off the charger for 18 hours with bluetooth on all day and was down to 70% when I went to bed @ 4am. No problems since.

[prj][Android 1.6 Donut][AOSP][Theme Noche Oscura][+CAB Install][Ext2 parttion test]

Do Not Bother xdandroid devs, with fillrate or hw3d being faster on donut than on eclair, plz they are not mages, stuff dont just magically work out of no were
Here's what iv been working on, for about a week, its Donut 1.6 AOSP, this rom includes only 2 extra apps aside from the google ones, Since this is based on AOSP i tried to leave it as clean as possible, except of course for the theme i made for it.
This ROM Should pretty much as Stable as Android can get on our Devices, it is also very fast since its based on Donut(no fillrate). If you find any bugs report them on this thread, i will try as best i can to fix it. And yes i know the Date in the status bar is still Default color(black) i will fix it as soon as i find the exact place to change it.

well for starters the overall speed of donut is just awesome, there other thing is that there is no fillrate on donut so 3dapps,games and 2d games also don't have that slowness and stutter you get in eclair/froyo(they both lack fillrate or should i say a fixed fillrate?) phh would know how to explain fillrate better than me, but anyways basically it stops the screen from filling extra pixels, Do too our screen being vga. This slows down 3dapps considerably, if you want to see this just run lets say Raging Thuder 2 you will notice how fast it is in donut, and how it stutters and seems like a jpg slideshow on elcair/froyo

Ah, makes sense. I didn't know that stuff about the fillrate either, good info. If only phh could dump all his knowledge into a wiki on a daily basis...
On first impression - very fast, wow! Also, 3g internet works out of the box. Can't seem to get GPS workin tho. Seems like it may be disabled completely, if I only have the GPS option enabled under Security & Location, Google Maps tells me that I need to enable a My Location source in system settings. Tried also allowing the option to let Google use my location to help their services, didn't make a difference. I never see the GPS icon in the notification bar either.
Still amazed at how fast this build is. Very nice! We'll see how battery life is next. It does seem to be going into deep sleep correctly (I get the 'breathe' LEDs...)

I actually prefer stock over anything else. Any program cooked in seems to be more of a hassle, and limits choice the user has.
On another front, I have almost 4hr uptime with 26% battery reported left. That's... probably about what I've gotten with the other ones. With a lot of standby, I could probably stretch it to 7-9 hrs. Not bad, but with heavy usage it depletes pretty quickly... So no marked improvement over other builds, but certainly not any worse either

Just Got My Red Magic 5 - Software Limitations

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.
May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!
I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.
There is no settings > power management
Yeah same don't have those options.
Also can't figure out how to access APN settings
I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.
You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor
What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

Hmm that's interesting.
Here is my screenshot.

Was up to date when I got it.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also
Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.
Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?
Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
Tried 2ghz even worse.
Thanks
