will nexus one support 4g - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does nexus one have hardware to support 4g on t-mobile when available

most likley not

no. if the sprint version was going it, then it would of been announced already most likely

I don't even think the N1 supports HSPA+... someone correct me if I'm wrong though. Are we maxed out at 7.2mbps?

I have yet to see anyone even hit that cap...

No. Go away.

lol 7.2mb? fail? Why even mention those numbers..my wifi can't even pull that off maybe 3.2 let alone tmobile? ROFL why complain about caps that aren't going to get hit...maybe when u die and come back..who knows..

I wasn't implying that our phones will actually get 7.2mbps down... I was simply asking whether our phones are compatible with HSPA+ and have a "theoretical" cap over 7.2mbps. Hell, we're not going to get anywhere near 7.2 with the backhaul the way it is right now. I'm thinking once they get that sorted, we could get a few mbps.

No it does not support 4G.

T-Mobile have stated that their upgrades to HSPA+ will be backwards compatible with existing 3G hardware. This will result in a theoretical speed of 21 mbps from their network.
Is it 4G (WiMax)? No. But you will be getting speeds decently close to it.

No. CDMA=no SIM. and if it is a CDMA world phone I doubt people will be able to hack the SIM slot and unlock it. And even if they did it is not equiped with a T-mo US 3G radio.

That's an ugly cheap toy. Sorry had to say it. T-mobile needs to step up the game again. They missed out on the great Hero. Hopefully they get the "Dragon" first.
Feeling some mad buyer's remorse over purchasing a MT3G ~2 months ago.
Oh well.
also, +1 for Dragon on T-mo

There IS a GSM Droid coming though for Telus Mobility in Canada which is switching over to HSDPA along with Bell. CDMA is getting phased out in Canada.

Yep, CDMA RIP (include the USA as well)! Such a waste of "space"
Yeah, with LTE (4G), the whole world should be following a unified standard hopefully on not more than two frequencies.
Oh, I hope they use more than two frequencies otherwise there will be too much interference
Very interested in the Motorola Droid.
Questions about Android...
Can you get real time push hotmail?
Is there a wifi router app?
Is there a logmein app?
Is there an orb app (or able to stream from orb site)?
Thanks in advance...

I doubt you'll have an interference problem, being that the rest of the world has the same standard it's only the states now that don't use one standard (we have to always be different). I'm on the bandwagon with CDMA being phased out, even if it is better tech (I don't agree with that statement I'm just saying....) with the rest of the world on GSM it's hard to come out with a good phone that will support either or both.

Try googleing for Android forums. I'm sure they are out there.
I too am slightly concerned about that. We'll need to get to work on rooting the thing as soon as possible. Has anyone started digging into the thing who has a review unit?
We certainly need to find a central location to collaborate.

[Q] HSPA+

is the tmoblie hd7 going to support HSPA+?
No.
HSDPA only. That goes up to 3.6 Mbps I believe.

You say "faster", yet speed depends on the browser, etc. Unless you actually did a mobilespeedtest.net, the only "speed" you're feeling is the new WP7 browser.
Anyways, look at any of the specs, WireFly for example (http://www.wirefly.com/catalog/t-mobile/htc/hd7-black/)
"Data Download Speed - 3G/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA"
Ta-Da, it's not a 3.5G phone!
i don't want an e-penis contest. when the op gets the phone, they'll see it can handle h+, why would t-mobile go thru all the trouble of updating their data speeds and then release a phone not capable of that ?

It's important for the OP to know that it DOESN'T have H+. If he buys it under the impression that it does, he would be upset to find out that it doesn't. Only a few new phones like the myTouch 4G are getting H+
don't go anywhere, i'll show you something...
here is a list of t-mobile phones capable of h+ http://www.bgr.com/2010/06/16/t-mob...-covering-25-major-cities-100-by-end-of-year/. why would the new phone be different?

hahah according to that, my Touch Pro 2 has HSPA+. False!
So once again, the HD7 does NOT have HSPA+. It would be listed in the specs if it did.
i've shown you all kinds of specs, i don't know what else to say. hopefully, the op will see that they WILL get h+ with the hd7. have a good night . btw, it's not in the hd2 specs about h+, but i bet i have H+!

Okay, the "specs" you showed were...
- It felt "faster" (it's a whole different operating system.... and you think your HD2 has H+ also, so it should be the same according to you)
- Your PDA DB links, which say that it DOESN'T have HSPA+, "Cellular-Data_Links: CSD, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA" for both the HD2 and the HD7
- A article that was already incorrect in stating that the Touch Pro 2 and HD2 have HSPA+.
According to the stores that actually SELL the HD7, it does NOT have HSPA+. Plain and simple.
lol, what i read is wrong, what you read is right. gotta love that! do you think the hd2 is capable of h+? but wait...it doesn't say that in the specs. now ask every t-mo hd2 on this site who lives in an h+ area if THEY have h+. see where i'm going...? then you said "oh wait, it SAYS my tp2 has it, but that can't be right, either." comical!

Umm, how do you KNOW you have H+?
A little "H" on your status bar does not mean that it is HSPA+
And why wouldn't the specs say it if the phone actually has it? You're getting nowhere, you don't have PROOF. All you're basing your argument off of is how fast your internet FEELS.

Here's a quote taken from one of the HD2 threads about HSPA+
sirphunkee said:
Actually I was digging on this a little more, and saw a thread on ppcgeeks about it that you had posted in lol.
Reading that and some others, it seems that there's a bit of confusion (I was too)...what Tmo has already enabled on the network now is HSPA 7.2, which is not exactly the same thing as the HSPA+ (theoretical limits over 54Mbps). HSPA+ is what's being tested and exists in a few cities now, more coming 2nd half of this year.
I've read confirmation that the HD2 is HSPA 7.2-capable, but I've found nowhere that says for sure that it's able to use HSPA+...lot's of speculation, no hard confirmation. I have however seen several indications that no phones in Tmo's current lineup have the HSPA+ secret sauce

An "H" on your phone means that you're connected to a HSPA tower, not the PLUS. The difference between HSPA and HSPA+ is huge for data speeds, as he shows.

In case anyone is interested. I've gotten around 4-5mb download and around 3mb upload speeds with T-Mobile in the US, which is the same speeds I get with my current phone, MyTouch 4G.
I was wondering if I would get the same speeds because one phone is 3g and the other 4g but you do get the same speed because the 3g phone is supporting 14.4mb downloads and 5.76mb uploads. So, one phone being 4g and the other 3g is not making any difference.

That's because 4g on T-mobile US is just a marketing term and the rest of the world still calls it 3g. So imported 3g phone from Europe = T-mobile US 4g.

Anyone with Total Internet (and in a "4g" zone) tried this? I got a G2 recently with the free upgrade, but of course it's IMEI is blocked and I haven't updated the plan yet. So, the phone is sitting unused. If the S works with Total Internet, I'd prolly just ebay the G2 and pick one of these up.

4G LTE Indicator?

I just got the phone a while ago and u wonder, does it support the WiMax bands? Because I do get 4G occasionally but a speedtest shows it to be incredibly slow.
If possible could anyone on Sprint screenshot when they know they're on LTE and show me?
Thank you!

No you don't get a Wimax signal. The HTC's radio is not capable of this. As far as I know, neither is any other LTE phone. But you don't have much to lose. Sprint is expected to shut down its WiMax by 2015 (or something) and I've read it wasn't much good either. Sprint is just starting to roll out its LTE. I'm supposed to get it in August. I'm waiting. It should be worth it.

You might be in an area where 4G isn't fully implemented and just experimental. I work in NY and they never officially announced that they deployed LTE here. I do connect to 4G LTE outside my office but speed tests only show like 1.5 - 2 mb at best, even with full bars.

Basically how it rolls. There's a few towers in my area that are sporadically transmitting LTE, but if you try to use actual data it'll kick you down to 3G (which would likely contribute to your low speeds).
Yeah this is my current situation as well. I might get a 4G signal, but it's like 1 maybe 1.5 down. Most of the time I'm on crappy 3G, with speeds of 0.1 mbps.
Sprint rep said August.... I can only hope.

It's not just sprint. HTC phones report signal this way. Cyanogenmod reports signal differently, and other manufactures report signal differently also.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
Given that there's no standard for "bars" with data signals, that's fine with me. I'd like a statusbar widget though that reported that kind of info.
If you want a standard, use the "text" setting. It displays the signal strength in dBm

Help my service is terrible!

Just to make sure.
You do realize that Sprint is still rolling out their 4G LTE network. The 4G network has Sprint advertised since what, 2010? That's Wimax. It used a high 2500 Mhz frequency which couldn't penetrate buildings and burned battery.
Unfortunately, LTE devices like our own can't use Sprint's more widespread Wimax network. Rather, we are stuck with sparse LTE and terrible, terrible 3G.
So before you throw out your One and sue Sprint or whatever, just remember. LTE is still being deployed.

Unfortunately, LTE devices like our own can't use Sprint's more widespread Wimax network. Rather, we are stuck with sparse LTE and terrible, terrible 3G.
So before you throw out your One and sue Sprint or whatever, just remember. LTE is still being deployed.

Sprint's 3G isn't half bad if you kick their stupid data proxies off in your EPST settings. Wimax however was and remains a terrible idea.

Elaborate. I can barely do a google search half the time. Really kicking myself for not sticking with Tmo.

It's not that hard. Here's the relevant thread. Definitely helped me out-- it's not a "miracle fix" but absolutely noticeable.

Getting LTE the next week helped too though. Hope you see it soon!

Could you explain to me how to turn off those proxies you mentioned?

Oh sorry, I had the reply page up from when it was first mentioned and hadn't refreshed it since, got distracted by the tv. My bad.

I may hold off on rooting my replacement, but probably not...
I've been told that LTE should come here in August. I would be so happy.
Just for comparison, when were you told LTE would come to you? Were you given an ETA?

You don't need to root to perform any EPST tweaks. You just need your MSL.
And ... I was never told. Officially, LTE isn't available in my area. I'd download Sensorly and check out your area-- it really can be an eye-opener to see what Sprint's up to (namely because they're really conservative when they launch a market-- they seem to wait until they have a lot of coverage before saying anything, which is good/bad in some ways).
I get 4g in my house sometimes. Sometimes I get kicked off.
We're talking speeds of up to 1.7 megs people. Crazy. That's what leads me to believe I'm getting this LTE signal from far away. Around town shopping? Can barely download an app. However, my local home depot gets 10 megs. So yeah, I have spotty (but existent)LTE coverage, but I think I want more.
Looks like I an going to have to call sprint to get my MSL. I have tried every way I found to get it and every one fails. I've tried the alogcat method, two different MSL reader apps from the market, the ADB method, and the crazy driver modem method. Nothing works. No clue why. Maybe because I'm s-off I need to do that super CID thing. Who knows, Im done for the night.

Really? The serial modem method worked without a hitch for me, but I happened to have the drivers left over from my root (no, you shouldn't need it anyway) so it was just the path of least resistance for me.

Yeah I did this last night around 11 .
Noob question: Now how do I unlock it?
Also, ##778# doesn't work for me. It just sort of flashes the screen and deletes the number. I read that you need a custom ROM to do 778.

##DATA# is standard, but for ##778# to work you need to be rooted at the least so that you can use a build.prop editor and change your mode to dev, instead of user. Simple thing really, but if you don't want to root you'll have to forgo any ##778# things.
