outta the game

Well looks like my time with the slide is done. Gonna sell it but not sure if I'm allowed to mention that. Loved every bit of the phone but went and played with the vibrant and couldn't help but fall in love with it. It's been fun!

What did you like about the vibrant? Been thinking bout getting one of those to try out.

My friend just got a Vibrant and its damn fast and hella thin...
Also the screen is awesome!!!

i played with the vibrant for a few hours last night and i will say the screen res was absolutely to die for, but really other than that it's an iphone running android with live wallpapers and that's just not for me. it certainly has the specs to be a good phone and it's nice looking if you are the iphone type, but it's "backed" by samsung and that's a killer for me. had HTC made the phone it would be a whole different game at this point

Don't be fooled by the Vibrant. Samsungs track record with cell phones is not good at all! The phone is hot now, but what will happen when it's time for firmware updates? Let me tell you, Samsung definitely doesn't stay up-to-date on that. You will see better phones from more reliable vendors come out here later on this year and the beginning of next year!

So I played with the Vibrant and it is basically Tmobile version of a better iphone. I actually liked the interface and the graphics are awesome, BUT when I did a speed test of the Vibrant and my Mytouch Slide, to my surprise, my Slide did better both times on the upload and download. Both phones were running on the 3G network. How crazy is that?

Differences in radios, antennas, firmware, software, etc. can all play a role in the maximum speed you will be able to obtain.

This is very true, and I am guilty of assuming that the Vibrant was going to be faster. However, I was pleasantly surprised when my Slide came out on top! It made me appreciate it that much more.

Look for "batteryindicator" by developer "darshancomputing" in Android Market.
Their Pro version "batteryindicatorpro" has higher icon resolution and more features.
I've been using for a month now and I highly recommend it.

I was blown away. There had been reports of 4g signals in Queens, but I just found out that we were getting a signal here in Brooklyn early this morning on a fluke. I tested around 4mbps indoors near a window. And the pic is the result from outside. On stability I'd rate it a 6.5. Signal did drop a few times intermittently. But pretty good overall.

Wall St has some 4G for sure, full bars while outside on Wall. Nowhere near those speeds though, but hopefully soon....

I think it's all location dependent, but the main thing is we don't have an official date for 4G yet, so it's exciting....
I don't think I've got above 1mbps upload on 3G though.. ever..

This is good ol' Brooklyn, USA. Lefferts Gardens-Prospect Park area to be exact. The 3G service around here is actually pretty darn good. I average about 1.5 to 2.2 most times, so I'm not even that pressed about 4G, but I'm damn sure glad to see it is available if the occasion ever arises that I need it! Somehow I doubt, I'll be getting those speeds when the system officially roles out and is advertised.

yeah im in bay ridge and ive been getting 4g for like 3-4 weeks now

I have always found the battery on HTC phones to be terrible and am not a fan of sense. But if your usage isn't heavy and you like sense then it is probably worth it.

I currently use both devices, the MT4G definitely has better battery life than my Vibrant. Data speed wise they are both about the same. In an HSPA+ coverage area I get ~6mbps down on both. I don't think you will see much greater speed than that for awhile on the T-Mo network with either device. Although theoretically the MT4G should get faster when the network opens up some more. The video chat is cool but I don't personally use it. I struggle with the screen on the MT4G after using the Vibrant for so long. Hope that helps. For me thee only solution has been to have both!

[Q] t-mobile USA 4g

Hello,
i'm wondering if there's a way i can utilize the lightning fast 4g on the hd2? i'm in orlando, which is like the biggest 4g area. Is it a radio? android build? (i don't want a NAND build yet. still SD card). Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Im in orlanfo too. Trust me an nnd build is awesome. No more windows

HD2 isn't 4G capable, it's HSDPA (3.5G) capable (up to 14Mbps), but that's it --- Either way, if your Mobile downloads/uploads at 600KB+/200KB+ when you're in HSDPA aren't fast enough, you wouldn't be happy with 4G because unless you're climbing halfway up the tower, you won't get 4G speeds like they advertise --- Either way, 5MB is more than enough for Mobile

OH. i thought it was.
i do understand that i'm not ganna get 14mbps, but i know people who average around ten. its crazy.

In certain parts of San Antonio I can get about 7ish, it's nice and fast but anything more isn't really going matter --- The delay will always be there, it's not like you're downloading 4GB files on your phone on a regular basis, we're talking 100MB tops and at 8Mb/s or 25Mb/s...it's going to fluctuate and it's going to have delays.

that also makes sense.
on the topic of t-mobile, what ROM do you use? i can't seem to get MMS working on mine (superRAM_sense), no matter what i try.

Hardware radio in hd2 is only capable of hsdpa 7.2mbps.. g2, mytouch 4g, and some of the new stuff 14.4mbps, rocket 4g data stick is 21.6mbps.. Again this is a limitation of the hardware.. Any speed test showing above this are false... Google is your friend!!
swyped from my Desired HD2

Is the HD7 4G capable?

I use NAND now so trying to find a build that is mostly stock with the MMS fix but it's hard to come by, I'm about to flash Frankinstine DROID v1.1 though and give it a try.

No, HD7 is just an HD2 with an Evo look and a soldered on Micro-SD card that boots WP7

>>SPEED Test - Atrix vs. iPhone 4<<

So I tested the data Speeds of both phones (Tested in Seattle, WA area).

iPhone4 done over wifi?

eerm.... i get the feeling that iPhone test was done via WiFi. I don't even think the iPhone 4 is capable of 14Mbps downloads on anything BUT WiFi, seeing as i think that's into 4G territory... and the uploads seem quite high for 3G, too.
As for the Atrix speed tests.... we know.... the Atrix doesn't have HSUPA enabled yet... but supposedly by the end of April it should.

Yea I'm thinking staged as well, repeat the test a few more times and post a screenshot of your results page for comparison

Um yeah the iphone4 only has 7.2 mbps HSDPA so that result is impossible.

Ummm lol
I think you guys might be right. Let me go try it again and upload new images. Hold on.

hes saying att network is slow compared to others...i get the same speed as you in my basement with 1 or 2 bars and around 5mb/s with a good signal.
if you are doing a test then its probably a good idea to do more than one and post it online esp. when you get a ridiculous speed like 14mb/s...dont get mad at other people for pointing your stupidity.

Oh, these aren't near as bad as the pms I get from thus guy. He's still telling me that gingerblur is "almost gingerbread" and I'm a stupid American for saying that 2.3 was not going to be out on this phone for a while. And did you know I "need to go back to the iphone" because I'm an "Android noob"? Mix that with the bad language he uses and thats his pms to me
