So bell lists the Atrix as a 4G device, don't know if I agree with upload speeds of 300kbps
I would really start a petition if I knew how to do it. Would someone knowing how to do it be interested in giving it a try? If it got spread by some tech news-sites then i think it could reach quite many people.
im sure an update will come out for it, as both the at&t and telstra roms don't have that problem. the petition won't make them work any faster. now if the summer hits and no update is released, then there is a major issue.
A software update is now available for the Bell version of the Motorola Atrix!
- To download the update manually:
Go to: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Update
- I'm not sure what the size of the update file is, but I would suggest downloading it over WiFi as opposed to the Bell network so you don't exceed your data allowance and incur extra charges.
- Ensure that your phone is at least 50% charged before attempting the update. Idealy, charge it beyond 50% to be safe.
-- The updated version is v37.23 and brings Android Froyo up to version 2.2.2, and contains numerous updates:
Upload Data Speed
Increased upload speed at which data can travel on the network.
Data and Voice Connection
Improvements to prevent interruptions to data and voice connection.

Hi guys
So I have been looking over the forums quite abit but have not found a solution
Currently I am using Nodata.cab which works fine if I disable my connection and only use wireless its fine and dandy... However I have the following problems
Work provide me with 100mb of 3G data
Aswell as that my provider in australia I get free
Roaming/3G Email
Romaing/3G Facebook
everything else on roaming costs money, I live in a non 3g area and my work is also located in a non 3G area.
What i need is something like the nodata app that allows me to make an acception for an application. Mainly I want email to work for work reasons, i couldnt care less for facebook. As I need to set email to download every 30 minutes.
Since my old work phone (Samsung Innov8) allowed me to choose the access point for applications on launch I didnt mind setting my main APN as my 3G/Roaming APN before my wireless for email.
I currently have a HTC Diamond
Hello,
So I've recently moved from 3G land (the US) to a country that only offers WAP internet (with an oh-so-generous 25mb monthly cap). I signed up for the service and all the settings were emailed to me for manual entry since officially they don't support android devices (aka never seen one). Long story short things never worked (although I get an Edge icon in the status bar, nothing works). I had to go to the mobile operator's main HQ and no one there could figure anything out (interestingly they mentioned that they have similar issues with getting WAP to work on the iphone). Which lead me to believe that I guess that these new smartphones don't support WAP anymore (understandably so, since its a pretty outdated way to get internet on your phone).
So my question is, has anyone faced a similar issue before? Do you know of any way to get WAP-only internet working on my G1?
P.S.: on GSMArena.com, the specs on a phone such as the Nokia E72 state
"Browser: WAP 2.0/xHTML, HTML"
whereas for the G1 it says,
"Browser: HTML"
So perhaps, if I can't get all my apps to work, I can at least find an android browser that supports WAP? Anyone knows of such a browser?
Thanks alot!!
The bunch of info that they sent you is to set up the WAP gateway to access websites through WML - you don't need the encoding on android because android access HTML sites directly.
Ask for GPRS.
I had already asked for GPRS, and it's only available for the way overpriced post-paid plan, and once you "upgrade" to post-paid you can never go back to prepaid. (amazing how little companies give a damn when they're in a monopolistic position)
So WAP on Android is no go??
I've never used it (the add on, that is), but MCR 3.2, an Android 1.5 custom ROM for Heros, comes with an optional enhanced add on pack that includes a WAP browser.
I don't know if this is of any direct use to you, but if not, perhaps it could help lead you to a solution? Looks like you'd need the app & one lib file, out of the zip, assuming you can use this code as it stands.
I just finished applying a 3G speed boosting mod reported by member Avalaunchmods - in this thread here. I can report that the procedure works on the Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 ROM by Flipz.
I would post this as a reply to that thread, but my post count isn't high enough to post in a dev forum. I think the information may help some who are trying to perform the speed boosting mod and having trouble.
The mod basically tells your phone NOT to use Sprint's proxy server when doing certain types of http communications. The post claims that it will speed up your upload and download rates by a measurable amount. It certainly sped me up a little.
However, for some it may actually reduce performance. Proxy servers aren't all bad - or always bad. Their original intent was to increase performance on pipes with limited bandwidth (caching proxy servers) and help protect client devices from malicious traffic. Proxy servers can also be used to prohibit access to certain sites. I'm told Sprint's proxy does this for some number of music streaming services. So you may want to keep this mod, no matter what impact it has on your performance. In any event, unless you made note of the proxy settings before following the mod's instructions, you're stuck with no way back. I have recorded the settings:
HTTP PD Proxy (port): 8085
HTTP PD Proxy Addr: pd.vog.sprintpcs.com
When you read the instructions, these values will make sense to you.
Lastly and potentially much more important: If you use Google Voice (at least with my settings), you need to disable it (using Titanium Backup's "Freeze" or a startup manager or simply an uninstall) before trying the procedure outlined in the post. Google Voice hooks the dialing process and causes the EPST service to Force Close when you dial the access code in step 2 of the instructions.
Reboot after removing or disabling Google Voice. Then follow the procedure to remove the proxy settings. Then re-install or re-enable Google Voice.
(Someone with the ability - it's okay with me if you cut and paste (move) this information as a reply to Avalaunchmods' thread in the Dev forum.)
good post man. i had to revert back to factory setting because the 0.0.0.0 settings drastically reduced my performance on airave network. and 70% of the time im on it.
Just about ANY semi-decent proxy server is going to speed up your access... but there is a price:
1. Not all outbound connections play well with a proxy server in the mix.
2. Your content can be filtered (and analyzed very easily) at any whim of the proxy provider.
3. You are not guaranteed to get realtime data; most popular sites will be cached and actually this is where most speed gains are realized.
And finally, having a proxy in the mix only gives a perceived speed boost. Your actual bandwidth DOES NOT change. Your contention for the content on any one site is what changes.
I hope that helps.

While it is true that changing the proxy does not magically increase the bandwidth, the assumption here is that the Sprint proxy servers are overloaded and causing slow speeds.
Using this fix just gets us back up to normal.

New Voice Authentication Process
Effective today, new security enhancements are in place to prevent unauthorized access to Sprint's network. Due to these new enhancements, you may encounter a device that is not recognized on the network after you have performed a ##RTN (786).
If you receive the message "Due to Error #16, your call has failed to complete" while placing a test call, you'll be required to contact a dedicated Care Team to have the device authenticated on the network.
For complete details, see the Voice Authentication Error M&P located at ISC > Service and Repair > Resources > ASC Methods and Procedures > Voice Authentication Error (5/2/11). ISCPortal Link: Voice Authentication Error (5/2/11)
What would this affect?
Its not like we could import other CDMA phones to begin with.
The only phone/ devices I'd even expect them to allow would be the Nokia N810w & the New $1,500 Qualcomm Phone... Maybe.

It looks like it would not do hands free activation anymore. It has to be called in so the device can retrieve the network settings so it can establish a data connection with the towers.
Dear N4 users,
I'm writing here to ask a (maybe silly) question. I live in Italy, and my carrier (TIM - Telecom Italia Mobile) has implemented a certain number of VoIP filters on our data connection to limit tethering and skype calsl on certain monthly data profiles.
Due to this reason, according to the different APN availables (two APNs are available: the first is a wap profile with proxy, and the other one is only for iphone users with no proxy), we have some problem sending and receiving whatsapp images/video or we have delayed notifications.
Essentially, whatsapp is mis-identified as a VoIP program and is filtered by the network. The odd thing is that this problem is present only on android phones: iphone users have no problem with whatsapp, no delayed notifications and no delay in sending/receiving images. If we try to connect to the wap APN we have fast sending/receiving of images, but delayed notifications. If we connect to the iphone-specific APN we have fast notifications, but delayed sending/receiving of images. Thus we think that the carrier activate or not the VoIP filters according to the telephone ID connected to the network.
My question is the following: is it possibile to change the ID of the nexus 4 in some configuration files to fake the iphone ID? If I connect to the online service of my carrier, inside my account details is shown the code of my telephone (LG E960), so this information is somehow sent to the carrier. Essentially I'm searching some kind of "user-agent", not for the browser but for the network.
Thank you in advance and I hope that my a little bit-too-much-articulated-question can be answered.
Cheers
Alessandro
