Since flashing FroYo no longer get HSDPA, only get 3G - Desire General

As title suggests. Using the recent one released on here with HTC Sense v1.0c.
Used to only get HSDPA with stock firmware.
Thought I saw a thread on here discussing it but I couldn't find it.
Can anyone help please?

use search button or simply search the development section theres many fixes for this

You are getting HSDPA, it's just the icon not being displayed - as said there are fixes for it

As I said I did try searching but couldn't find anything.
I'll have another look.
Appreciate the reply.

I can't find the fix either!

who would of thought people still don't know about this
it's native in froyo roms that there is no H icon, speed tests will show you are using HSDPA, it even says in your phone settings...
just download a custom notification bar/theme such as blackbar for defrost.

I know its not in the stock roms and its never really bothered me. I don't want a custom theme I just want the H icon to add to my current rom. But don't know if there is more to it than just dropping the icon into a certain folder through recovery.

There is more to it. It is about editing the framework-res.apk fil on the system partition. And as it just uses the 3g icon you will probarbly also have to edit some xml files. Just about the same as done with the battery mod

I'm sure there are a simple 'update' to get the H icon. Going through the many pages for each ROMS, it comes up quite a few times.

Not everyone is glued to this forum following every little Android thing. Rooting and using ROMs is very new to me. I only started 4 days ago. But thanks for being "accommodating".
I did a search and nevertheless the answers appeared. I then did the keypad trick with *#*#4636#*#* and noticed my phone IS on HSDPA, just not displaying a H.
I'm very content with that so problem solved.
Thank you to everyone that replied.

OK I read that back and probably came across as a c***.
I run a forum and one of my pet peeves is dismissive veteran members when they interact with noobs. Your tone suggested I should know it all. My tone suggested I'm a penis.
I did find the answer before reading your post. I apologise for the dickishness.

HSDPA icon is included by default AFAIK, the framework just needs to be built with it enabled.

Battery icon with numbers, and 1% fix - tilt 2

I have looked around for a fix that will show the battery level in 1% increments....but nobody will confirm whether this works for the tilt 2 without causing problems. Should I just assume that if something works with WM6.1 it will work with 6.5?
Also, it is so stupid to not have a better battery icon...is there a way to replace it with one that actually shows a freaking number? I don't want anything fancy, and I don't want to install a pack that replaces ALL my icons. Anyone?
EDIT:
Just thought of this. Does anyone know how to change the colors on the top start bar, and bottom start bar in tf3d? I was thinking of wanting them both transparent, but that might make the stop icons hard to see....maybe just the bottom tranparent.....hell, I guess I could pick a dark background and make them both tranparent.
Anyway....anyone?
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ariel-battery-monitor-v1-6-2.html maybe this would help? i've used it and it doesn't replace any icons. it stays at the top bar. you can move it to cover the battery area or just leave it by the start logo

Thanks a lot...I will check that out.
I think I would still prefer editing the built in icon...just seemed less "hacked" to me.

Not really in interested in flashing a whole new ROM just for this. The ROMS are nice, but none of them are 100% perfect....I don't want to deal with radio's....I don't want to deal with some of my keyboard buttons not working...I don't want to deal with getting some strange ATT registry setting back just so x or y program will run right.
The phone runs great now...just want a couple tweaks, not a full overhaul.

Finally found a replacement battery icon that works on the tilt 2 here:

I probably went overboard....but if he would have read the posts he would have seen that we were discussing this in depth already. It would be like me walking into a white house press conference on the state of the economy and saying "hey...uhhh..maybe someone should try to fix it and stuff"
As for me ignoring the 2 suggestions.
1. I thanked the first guy but RESPECTFULLY mentioned that this was more of a work-around and not a fix. I also posted a fix to the first part of my problem in case he, or anyone else, was interested....not sure how that is supposed to show i ignored him.
2. The second suggestion was to a thread that the head guy didn't seem to updating anymore, which the poster stated up front as he gave me the link. I thanked him as well...and agreed that the thread did not have a solution for this issue...was never a **** to him.
Anyway.....I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted like that...I know he was only trying to help.
Back to the topic at hand. It appears the hold up on the 1% driver is that people are having an issue pulling the proper files from the tilt2's because of write protection or something......so looks like this is in limbo while people smarter than me attempt to help the rest of us.
Hi:
I installed the attached cab driver, and it seemed to work fine for me, with no side effects.
I found it with one of the Brian taskbars (gfreek edition), which by the way looked amazing, but the signal icon didn't get replaced with the new one.
Hope this helps

The fix you posted is for when the notification manager and the battery icon show values that are 1% away from each other. This thread is about a different issue, namely getting a 1% driver that works on the stock Tilt2 ROM. Thanks for the fix though; I think I have that problem also. I once saw my notification say 0% (when the battery driver was rejected) while the icon showed 1%.

[Q] Flashed to Boost, No GPS, Can't update profiles. What do?

Like the title says, I can't update my profiles, some authentication error. I can't get a single satellite to fix. I've tried outdoors, flat surfaces, cleared A-GPS, power cycles, New ROMS, DataJosh's Zip fix, FasterFix's New locations.. sooo many potential fixes to my problem.
Please help..
i answered your question on how to fix being able to update prl on the general thread..
"flashing" your phone to boost has nothing to prevent you from flashing a custom rom your probably doing something wrong.

Thanks a ton, man!
This site is kinda hard to navigate through... I'm learning.
I understand you are learning but making a thread in two places is not going to help your caus. Now we answered your profiles question like said above in the other thread. Your No GPS means you may have to try and flash other roms in hopes you get a lock. Also Boost signal sometimes is a lil shaky so make sure you are getting good 3g signal.
Also if this site is a little difficult to navigate through for you why don't you just use Google. Put your search topic in "gps fix epic touch xda" placing xda at the end of your search will prompt Google to look in xda for you already and you can see more links easier...
Not trying to be an ass but getting help in here is also about asking for it the right way and also trying to help yourself as well.... Also try other GPS apps to see if they help
Good Luck

No problem. hey just a hint you should only post question in the Q&A threads so you wont get flamed on/hassled or even get warnings from the mod's.
You should try some apps on the market for the GPS
and if no one else has said it then WELCOME to the Site.

[Q] LED Buttons not lighting up after move to CM9

Hey guys! I just jumped the sinking Sprint ship and made the move to AT&T. I got myself a brand new LG Nitro and immediately rooted and installed CM9. I'm used to the cm experience as I had an Epic 4G on sprint. Anyways, after installing CM9 my LED buttons won't light up. Is this a known issue? I could use some help because without the LEDs its hard to use this phone in the dark since I'm not used to the button placement yet. Thanks in advance!
I just had the same problem. Look through the setting. Turn auto-bright on
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA
Derpp. thanks man!
Settings?
I'm still getting used to the settings of CM9 and can't seem to find the spot where that toggle is. Can you give me a menu ---> location pls?
Thanks
next time do a simple search and you will find a # of posts on this topic and none of them needed to clutter up the main forum starting a new thread about it.

Sent from MARVEL
if only people who didnt know what their talking about would shut the hell up.
trust me, several folks are working on a fix for this but as for right now the best that can be done is to hide the icon in the notification bar by making a transparent image to replace the icon in phone.apk.
but this will NOT remove the notification in the dropdown which is what im sure you are referring to. so dont let that guy lead you on a wild goose chase just cuz he doesnt understand your plain and simple question.

Well, I was sure he was talking about in the status bar, so just because we're both sure of different things doesn't make either of us wrong. Maybe my previous answer was slightly rude, but I was offering the location of the best fix at the present moment.
So, with two different ways to interpret this question, we both helped him, I'm sure adequately. The links below will take you to the thread to remove the icon (not the notification).
Link to theme
Link to post with phone.apk
Thanks guys, it was only because I was using mindhacker's rom (or whatever hes called) and he managed to remove it, which looked great but was one of the biggest battery drainer roms I've ever come across.

Is there a zip that I could flash to get my stock notifications in my status bar?

I flashed sacs note 5 port and im not really a fan of the lte sign for my signal. I like the stock one. Anyway there is a zip i could flash to get it back? Thanks!

I am on the same amazing ROM from ya boy Sac. What you are referring to is the new "heads up notifications" and I hate that crap also. Download the SQLite editor app (found here... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor ), follow the attached screenshots and change the "heads_up_notifications_enabled" value from 1 to 0. You may need to reboot for the change to work.
Hey thanks for the reply. I followed your steps to the T and unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Not sure why, your obviously rooted and I am on the same ROM as you. There is also an app called Heads Off that should do the same thing, give this a try.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.noheadsup
Hmm i just tried that heads off bit i didn't see what I was looking for. I know there's a way. I was looking through all of the posts in sacs thread and someoje posted a screen shot and I saw he had the sprint spark icon. Im using 'Flat style bar indicators' on xposed. But i can't seem to get 4g in front of the signal bars. So basically i just have bars...not knowing if I'm on 3g or lte. Sorry for being a headache. Just like all my stock stuff up there. The rom is amazing though. Can't wait for another update. Thank you again for your help
One more thing. I messed with my keyboard the other day and had to reflash stock s6 one. Now i dont have the symbols inside the letters. So i cant long press for a '?' Anymore i have to go to the symbols. Pretty annoying lol. I took a screen shot but i honestly have no idea how to add it to this post.

Best to ask in the Note 5 thread, cant help with that.
Cool thanks for all of your help. I appreciate it
The signal icons used on the status bar are determined by the build prop. "noble" devices use the icons which you don't like. (not to mention that they are not sized correctly in his N5 port). "trltespr" devices use the sprint spark icons that you are wanting, However changing from noble to trltespr can also effect other features in the rom. If you want the sprint icons then you will need to change the ro.device entries in the build.prop to reflect trltespr... use our N4 OG5 build.prop as reference and you will see what I'm talking about. Last thing. Making these changes in the build.prop requires a factory data reset so that the rom can setup again with the new configs. Simply editing them and rebooting will not do the trick.
Usually i dont mind doing something like this but i dont know what to change in the build.prop . If there was a guide I'd read it. But thank you. I'm glad you know what im trying to do lol
So i found this. .... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...988642&usg=AFQjCNEq-YSRLtSLgHf6b8pLijNw0sFyGg ......but it doesnt tell me which line to edit. Then i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ps/mod-edit-build-prop-international-t2951057 ...but i cant see the pics that shows you which lines or line to edit....sorry im trying here lol
I got it...thank you very much. Now id like to adjust the size of it but i didn't see that anywhere
