AT&T doesn't even have HSPA+ support yet. A lot of places still don't even have 3G yet.

Using the speedtest.net app I've hit 4885kbps (which is a lot lower than my best results with the x10) but it is HSPA+ territory if I'm not mistaken.

That sounds about standard download speed for 3G. But alas you didn't say if that was up or download speed. Hspa+ territory is 22mb and up I think. Don't feel like looking it up again so I may be wrong entirely

Well i know that hspa+ isn't out yet
But I will br stick with this phone for a while so I was just wondering for my future...

The only things that AT&T currently sells that are HSPA+ enabled/capable are those USB dongles for internet plans. Some are even LTE capable.

Hmmm, not really an answer to the question though. I've been all over the forums and Google trying to find out if there are currently any modem releases for the Captivate that will enable / support HSPA+ speeds.
There is no consensus. Seems that some folks think that HSPA+ is just having HSDPA and HSUPA enabled on your device with the likes of the TLJL3 and other modem variants that enable HSUPA.
Others say that there is no currently available modem that supports HSPA+ speeds. So I ask plainly, which is it?
If there is an HSPA+ compliant modem, where do I get it so I can port it over and get rocking and rolling?

Huh? No responses?
Is the answer just that obvious, or does no one know the answer?

That was the most non cohesive sentence I have ever read.
To translate this manglish: I have a Galaxy Captivate for the past 3 weeks and nobody has been able to unlock this fantastic device.
.. have you read the Q&A? Or tried the 1-Click found in the Dev forum using the SEARCH feature?

The question was answered already but I will do it again. At this moment and time no it will not. Might be a modem thing but to be honest no one knows if there will be a modem that will support it..

So wait, HOW exactly do we use this? I don't think we can boot it into an emulator...I've tried loading ROM packages into the Android emulator (for personal use only), and haven't gotten anything other than the "stock" emulator image to appear...and yes I've read through the interwebs, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Trying to do it by summer, though.

The thunderbolt is shipping with 2.2.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

I know, I just read that afterwards. Sadly...it'll prob get 2.3 though (after 6 months like every other HTC phone gets updated lol).

So couple of things. This download is hugh lol and has anyone tryed the radio in it yet just woundering if maybe we might see a chance of being able to access the lte network (wishfull thinking) if no one has do it by time i get home witch i will about 9pm i will do it well see what happens lol. other than that is it really gingerbread with sense.

No Gingerbread, it ships with 2.2 (I asked that question too lol).
And I think that the 4G radio is a hardware thing, not software . Good wishful thinking though XD

yea no joke but hey new radio no telling what good it could it do though.

True that. The Mecha doesn't only run on 4G, but 3G also, so it might up our data speeds. Theoretically. I mean, it kind of makes sense for that to be the case.

No, that doesn't kinda make any sense at all.

It doesn't? Aw darnit... lol.

The radio.img controls much more than just 3G/4G. It controls other hardware in the device, and flasing a bad radio is the only (afaik) definitive way to turn your incredible (or any other device) into a shiny paperweight.

To use the 4G network, the phone would need LTE bands in addition to the CDMA bands, which the Incredible probably doesn't have.
I remember a few months ago, however, when someone found some 4G stuff in the Incredible system files. Something about it was supposed to go to Sprint but ended up going to Verizon at the last minute. So there could be a chance the Incredible has the capability to run on LTE, I guess.
I could be completely wrong, and it's mostly just speculation, but, yeah.

4g LTE requires a sim card
So even if our device had the capability somehow it doesn't at the same time

new bionic user

Hey guys,
new Bio owner here. I was previously on Sprint with an evo 4g. Unfortunately it doesnt seem like the modding/rom community for this phone is nearly as big :[
Any good roms out? I'm excited to start using the phone...

Liberty ROMs have been the best on all other phones I've used, so i got a liberty rom. Its only in beta for the bionic right now though and its not on this forum. You'll have to do a little google searching to find it. Its in an IRC chat somewhere but i cant remember where.
Based on just looking around the forums here, it seems Th3ory is pretty popular and there's a lot out for it.

A quick look in the development thread would have answered your question

Yeah I just ordered the extended battery for mine.
If you have 4G, that takes up a LOT of battery. You can go to Settings, Wireless Networks, Mobile Networks, Network mode.....then switch from CDMA/LTE to CDMA only.
CDMA = 3G
LTE = 4G

Thanks... I do live in orange county CA so there is ample 4g around me... perhaps I will keep that on but leave off the wifi if 4g proves to be fast enough.

I was hoping cyanogen worked on bionic :[

It's faster than my internet at home. I often turn my hotspot on and connect to it even when I'm at home and just leave my phone plugged in cuz hotspot drains battery QUICK (at least until my battery gets too hot)

First 4g test gave me about 3mbs up and down. Half signal.
Sure was easy to root this guy! Time to remove all the ****ware...

There are some apps (I use TeamBlackHat) that have a "Remove Bloat" button that automatically removes all bloat apps.

Service mode/USSD codes

Is there any way to access the service mode menu? I wanted to see which LTE band my phone is on but none of the codes work with my nexus 6.

I'm looking for this too. Anyone?

nope, there no way. you can install the lte discovery app if you want to know which band your n6 is connected to.

Are you sure there aren't any?

yup. if you want to see what band of lte you are using, use the LTE Discovery app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en

doesnt work here. its probably related to you being on verizon, and me being on tmobile. on tmobile, the only code that works is *#*#4636#*#*, and thats to change your data service(can do lte only this way).

it probably will work on sprint as well, if working on verizon. and probably wont work on att either, but thats my guess at least

Sorry...
I apologize for bringing this thread back from the dead but I figured it was worth noting that the USSD code *#*#873283#*#* works on T-Mobile although I have no idea what it actually does. Tired it on my phone and it responded with "check-in succeeded". I googled it and it apparently has something to do with Sprint, even though I'm on T-Mobile??? Strange.....

+1, no issues.

But, no HD calling or wi-fi calling?

I am using one as well. But none of the features/services are working. I can't get any VZW apps, like visual Vmail. I don't even get vmail notifications. No HD voice or video. No NFL app live video. Nothing HAS works except voice & data.
I have been on with VZW everyday. They can't figure the s**t out. They blame Sammy and Sammy blames them. Very frustrating!!!!

Yes I got the unlocked one and I have hd calling and the phone provisioned I'm on Verizon

I clicked on self provision and restarted phone everything works

Even gave me a toggle after

No and yes, in that order.
You'll have the model with the Snapdragon SoC and that has a locked bootloader. You might one day get root (if you're lucky) but you'll probably never get TWRP compatibility or any custom ROMs.
But on the bright side, it will work on the Verizon network, so that's nice.

It can be found by searching in Shortcut Master (light) app. I can still find it, but cannot run as from BL version 3 (not sure if it was that one) many shortcuts no longer work (including all IMS-related shortcuts).
I have N950U1 on FW version N950U1UEU5CRJ2.
