Two questions
After upgrading to the latest firmware which supposedly includes Rev. A functionality, is the setting in ##pst# -> Data Parameters -> Rev. A -
Is it Disabled or Enabled? (mine is disabled, even after firmware update)
When you enter a DO area w/ Rev. A. capabilities, does Windows Mobile notify you about this?
Are you sure it says "disabled"? You better check because, i'm pretty sure it should say "disable"... Check it again and see.
Disabled means rev.a is enabled.
Disable - I read it wrong sorry.
Rev. A working with Verizon??
Is Rev. A added to the Verizon phones that have done the upgrade as well. Running DCD 3.0.1 with the Sprint Radio 3.35.
In the ##778 menu under Data Parameters it doesn't show the Rev. A line that everyone is referring to.
So I assume it didn't add the Rev. A capability since it is a Verizon phone.
GPS does work and I would like to thank everyone on the forum for all the post helping me to get to this point.
Anyone?!?
I would also like to know if it is enabled on my xv6800. I am in Phoenix and its network has been upgraded according to VZW customer support. I did a speedtest and didn't notice any improvement from rev 0.
Mine is enabled, using no2chems 5055 rom. D/l is within rev-a range, upload not so much. I wonder if enabled/disabled makes a differance, anyone have any tests ?

Well, today, I thought I would give my phone a real world test. Right now I am downloading some files to my laptop tethered to the xv6800. Download speeds have been typically around 1.0 Mbps, sometimes going up to 1.5 Mbps for a while.
I am a believer. Simply fantastic.

Ok this has beaten like a dead horse. Disable means it is enabled and selecting it will disable it and vice-versa.
Its kinda an opposite thing and by changing it you have done what it said.
We Verizon folks just wanna know why we dont have the option in the #778 menu. Is it just cuz of the cross carrier differences and can only access Sprint Rev. A, and not Verizon Rev. A.
Found this on the Titan Upgrading etc.. section:

I work in the switch and logged into the network side and see REV-A session on mine and speed tests bear it out, but the phone has no REV-A indicator. Trust me, if you have REV-A coverage where you are it is working.

Appears we may be in luck it just doesnt show we have it. Thanks madman34
Eh lots of people are posting tests with it enabled/disabled. Some people say its on, some say its off. Where is the clear cut answer. Mine isnt that far off from others and mine is "off"

Ive just had hsdpa added to my account but CS didnt seem like they knew what they were talking about.
Will it say on my account in my t-mobile somwhere that i have this feature?
Thanks.
If it does could you let me know where abouts in my t-mobile it would be
Somewhere in extra services or something like that, there should be a feature called 384k Uplink and it should be enabled if T-Mobile have enabled HSDPA on your account.
ok thanks, cant see it anywhere on my account i called t-mobile got through to a tech they said its enabled on my acc and i wont be able to see it on my t mobile as its a free service,
I get my vario ii back tomorrow went for a software update missed the post on sat
whats the best place to do a speed test and what speed should i get that i know hsdpa is deffentley enabled?
Thanks again
Can you tell me what version you had prior to your upgrade. Were you having problems? if so what with?
Just checked mine and the exact name of the service as you should see it on yours will be 'HSDPA 384k Uplink' and it should be enabled.

In any case, to do a speed test browse over to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 on your device and select an amount to dowload. It's a speed test page for mobile devices so you might want to save it in your faves if you ever want to check the speed.
As for the speeds you should be getting...
3G - Max Uplink Rate - 128Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 384Kb
HSDPA - Max Uplink Rate - 384Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 1.8Mbit* (*Current theoretical limit on T-mobile)
I usually get around 1Mbit speeds with 2-3 bars of signal.

Well if you can't get a decent answer in one thread you'll start your own.
I've installed the new PPP wrapper, and the 011 fix. But my 3g speeds(it's a G on the statusbar)never exceed 50kbps down and 10kbps~ up, on wifi i get around 10mbps down and around 1mbps up . This is such a shame for such a good build.
Anyone got a FIX? This is driving me completely insane.
I am from Sweden with Tele2 as my provider, anyone else from Sweden with this problem but fixed it?
I've tried some other PPP roms and they work, just the damn awesome Mdeejay roms.
Ah yeah my wmROM is; VBNDroid-RC3-21913-Sep23 with radio; Radio_2_15_50_14
And I can get great download speeds with different roms such as; HyperdroidV1.6, ShiftDroid, NexusHD2-FRG83.
(I'll be glad if anyone could point me to another build that does 480p youtube videos embedded in original browser without any problem)
Bumping it.
Just to clarifiy, i don't get ANY disconnects from the unusual slow 3g connection.
EVERYTHING works except that the speeds of 3g never go higher than 50kbps down or 10kbps down.
is it only with that build? have u tested the speeds with another build? did you check ur apns? all obvious questions but just want to make sure

It's only like that with Mdeejay.
The APN should be correct. I've tested with both the APN from Cynanmod apn list, my own operators apn, and copied my girlfriends APN from her Galaxy S(She uses the same operator as me).
The *#*#4636#*#* doesn't seem to work aswell it just end the call.
But I think I know what the problem is. In the menu "Network Operators" I can't choose my own. I get 3 choices; IQ, Telia S and Telenor SE.
Does anyone know how I can change any file in the Android system that would let me to FORCE it toward my own country?
Thanks
Ah well bumping it to the top again.
It's hard to believe that noone else but me got this problem.
I can't access the *#*#4636#*#* menu or any other 'hidden' menu neither.
if you upgrade to 1.8 version of this rom u ll get full 3G speed ... i had same issues .. slow 3g... i upgraded n its just gr8

Actually I'm using 1.8. EVERYTHING works except the speeds are awful. I'm sure my phone is connected to only 2g.
I use this rom also and I could'nt get into the secret menu with out the app secret settings. I've also noticed that the build prop in this rom only has the net.ppp0.dns1 and 2. It does not have net.dns1, 2 and 3. I think i need to flash a rom from another cook to find out what other build props look like. My internet speed is very erratic with this build. Sometimes its really fast and then sometimes its just really slow.

I think the problem has to do with your apn settings. Are you using the right ones for your network?
I use this build and I get ~1Mb - 1.5 Mb up and about the same down.
I just made several tests from my basement just now and got these results:

Hey guys,
I have been looking several days for an option to toggle 3g <-> 2g but it simply isn't there where it supposed to be.
After discovering this article I'm wondering why this feature is missing in all wp7 samsung devices.
I really miss this option because I get at home barely 1 bar on 3g and thats not very good for the battery.
I thought that OEMs aren't allowed to customize the os on this level but why is this option not visible ?
Regards
I always thought that this option has been disabled by my provider because "3" doesn't have 2G at all. All GSM data is transferred via Roaming with A1 mobilkom.
Don't know, I've realised that my Omnia7 doesn't have this option but I don't miss it though.
worth a ponder

My boyfriend's Trophy has the 3g toggle located in settings. He's using vodafone. My omnia however is missing the feature. HTC vs samsung or carrier difference?
According to Orange it is missing on all Omnia 7s as it's missing from the Samsung software.
Thanks for your answers but nevertheless I'd like to hear why samsung did exclude this feature on their wp7 phones because I couldn't barely find any information about it on the internet.
It's incomprehensible and there we see that samsung failed once again with "their" software. Toggle 2g is an option that I really won't miss specially in areas where I have bad signal. I'm going to contact samsung to see what they say about it.
Regards

Would be interesting to know, but don't get your hopes high...I cannot remember any time Samsung answered a support question for me
My Omnia 7 has this setting. I have a 16 GB device from T-Mobile Germany running on o2.
My Omnia 7 also has this setting (Optus stock [unlocked] 8GB version).
Settings > Mobile Network
What I LOVE about these settings is that whenever my phone tries to access the internet and 3GB/Data is turned OFF, it won't force it on. Infact, unless you have Wi-Fi turned on, it will just say it's unable to access a data connection.
More than I can say for Windows Mobile, which always turned it on no matter what you told it to do.

So it's not Samsung's idea but, more likely, our provider's idea to cut this setting.
Yea. Did some googling and found a way to edit wimax through that ##3284# code. But the 4g seems to sleep faster than before? Can anyone tell me how to do this effectively? I use my epic for my home network and its a pain. Just want it to stay on like the wifi sleep policy. Btw i tried setting it to 300 100 and 60. Anyone know what that number means in terms of time?
Thnxnadvnc!

Those are idle times, in seconds, I believe. Meaning... when the device is not actively using 4g, it will time out (sleep) after so many seconds. I think 10 seconds is the default before the 4g sleeps.. Increasing that number should prevent your device from sleeping for a longer period of time.
I did some googling, according to this page, the number is in minutes.
http://www.groovypost.com/howto/mobile/prevent-phone-4g-wireless-connection-sleeping/
I have not tried this myself to see if it helps, need to get back home first where I have 4G coverage.
Anyone else have any luck with this setting?
--------------------
Edit: It looks like the parameter is in seconds according to this post on the EVO forum, which makes more sense
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8266721&postcount=79
Yea its actually working for me. If theres nothing using bandwidth 4g will shut off. But if I have pda running 4g will stay on even when the phone sleeps. before it would shut off after a few minutes into sleep mode. Works like a charm. if you dont mind the sprint rep questioning as to why you want that number lol.
How did you access the Wimax settings? This is what I see:

You'll access the data programming area on your phone by entering ##3282# on your phone number pad. The OP mistakenly typed in ##3284#.
You'll need your MSL to explore or change the settings. If you google, you can find ways to get that MSL number without calling Sprint.. You'll just enter some commands in a terminal app.... I'm not sure where I found it.. but it's out there.
So i just found out from another thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11088696" that we can access the tabs service menu with the the following code (*#*#197328640#*#*). Now this is a LONG shot but here it goes, for all of those with more technical knowledge than myself, would it be possible to set the tab with Voice+3G using a T-Mobile sim through this menu or no? Just wondering but i am sure i will get bashed for this.
I tried that! The menu has the choices we want, but they don't do anything. I'm sorry you got nervous to post that idea! I wish it worked. Did you try it yet?

*#2263# gets you to the frequencies. Try it, but write down what you try, and what modem and carrier you have. Good Luck.

just noticed something interesting:
this picture shows all the bands while on voice+edge using Roto's modem switch:

and this picture shows all the bands while only on 3g using Roto's modem switch:
now clearly while on 3g the is an extra band, WCDMA 1700(FDD IV) , and it does not show up while on Voice+edge does this mean anything? i wished someone with technical knowledge regarding this would chime in....
sorry for the way the pictures are layed out.
Well that confirms what we all have experienced. The modem in use that allows voice calls to be made does not have theT-Mobile 3g Bands( Band IV/ AWS/1700). The original T-mobile modem does allow 3G access but does not allow voice. How we combine the two is the challenge.
