Ask me any questions you might have about ATT pure and i will be more than glad to answer it for you here
Im looking to buy a pure in a week and unlock it for tmobile. Would i be better off unlocking it and having to work around the ATT ROM (I did this with my pantech duo and its not fun.) or install the stock Topaz ROM from htc. and if I do the latter (the best option all acounts) will I have to install any extra drivers the pure?
I am a newbee. I am just coming over from my Touch HD T8285 and need to know how to HSPL. I have read the thread but it keeps giving me a connection error. I am pretty familiar with flashing on my polaris, hd, tilt, but I am having a hard time with the pure. Any help would be great.
Came over from a moto q, how do I change the colors of the touch flo icons and bar, I already found where to change the start bar and the lower bar but touch flo is still att blue. Do I have to make a custom rom or edit some registry settings or what?

IIRC you will only get edge on this if you jump to tmobile. If you use the ATT rom, you will probably have media net setup automatically and it might be a pita to try to setup.
Maybe I read the specs wrong on the frequencies though

You'll have to install a new theme that overwrites TF3D.
I just got my phone upgrade to HTC pure from ATT. I have bought the unlock from http://www.htc-unlocks.com/ ( Olipro ) .Everything went well for unlocking but when I restart the phone it went to dead. After HARD reboot shows as:
Security unlocked
TOPA210 32M
SPL-1.33.01 iMex
MicroP-Topaz (LED) v11
TPMFG DATA
512,555 190,897
191,208 833,208
833,899 calibrated
Can Someone here help ?
Thanks!
ATT Pure
How do you "reset" the Pure.
My old Tilt had a hole for the stylis to reboot it.
The reset hole is in the stylus housing, a small red dot.

no your right about the frequencys. tmobiles 3g is 1700 mhz att is 1900 I think. I dont use mobile internet any way so 3g is not so necessary for me.
You are basically screwed if you thought you would get "3G" on tmob (then again, they don't have good "3g" coverage, so maybe you wouldn't notice).
Return the phone or admit your mistake.
Yea really, I don't see why ppl are buying this phone specifically desiged for the AT&T 3g Spectrum to use on TMO. But, then again TMO does have a unique choice of bands who no one likes to manufacture unless you get it from them. Atleast, Nokia makes AT&T band devices once in a blue moon.
Questions
I am not a newbie, but have some questions re my new Pure:
1 - Is there a program that can map and control all or more of the buttons using push and hold - like hbuttons?
2 - What about making the zoom area usable for special functions?
3 - is there a working TCPMP that can play all .flv files including the on2v6 codec?
I've only had mine for ~24 hours at this point. I had a Tilt before this, but I have a couple questions about the Pure:
1. The TouchFlo screens let you set the wallpaper for the home screen, but the other screens all have the Death Star logo. Is there a way to change that without flashing the ROM? I don't want to flash yet because:
a. it's too soon
b. the HSPL program didn't work.
2. Next to the USB port, there are two holes; one very tiny one above it about the size of a stylus point, and another to the right that is much larger. I'm hoping that the top hole is the microphone, and the one on the right is for a phone strap. Can anyone confirm that? I'd hope not to damage the microphone with my repeated attempts to hang a keitai strap from it.
3. Is there a way to remove the battery icon from the status bar on top? I plan to use a different one that I like better, so having the other one there is redundant.
In return for getting my questions answered, I will check back here and answer others' questions based on my experiences.

It's true. None of the 4 national CellCos (is that a word?) are compatible with one another. The ones that share frequencies don't share technologies. To exacerbate the problem further, Europe uses 2100MHz, which is different from North America. So, if you want 3G to work right, alas, you have to get a phone from your carrier.

Too many questions and so little answers? Where's our wiseman?
I just bought mine but I'm going to wait to see the answers, like that won't be posting the same questions

3 - If you go to alarms screen the more tab (last tab) you can have the time show up at the top.
I just got the Pure from ATT store and happy me
I am a complete noob with windows phone, so bear with me
1. I connected my phone to the Wi-Fi at my house, and launched Opera. However 90% of the time the browser just simply could not load a webpage. Anything else that require data would not work either (this includes the weather tab). Every once in a while it would load up some data and then it would stop working again. Did I get a defective phone?
2. Like everyone else has asked, is there a way to change the blueish TF3D theme with ATT logo to something else?
3. On the Internet tab on TF3D, when I click Launch web browser it automatically directs me to att.net. Is there a way to change it to some other websites?

1. opera i have found is horrible on this phone. its has know problem working on the medianet setting on the phone when using wifi. go to the connection settings and change it to ATT isp and it will work. I use IE for browsing and Skyfire for flash
2. not on the stock rom

Any light on the default att.net homepage issue?
Hi,
I recently updated to Froyo using the registry hack, i was on uk orange jf3 before.
Since being on it i have constantly been struggling with the 3g and the network signal, at first i thought the 3g was disconnecting when i turned the wifi on but then the network signal starting disappearing and it would show the circle symbol with the diagonal strike through it to show that it was not picking up any networks.
I read somewhere that cycling flight mode might solve the issue, but for some reason once i turn on/off flight mode it just hangs at that stage and will not change until after a restart.
I have also tried formatting both the internal and ext sd cards and i have done a factory reset twice.
Nothing has helped, it connects to 3g initially (which shows that it shouldn't be a setting problem?) and the network signal is also fine initially but then after a short amount of time or inactivity or switching on wifi the 3g won't connect and the network signal just dies.
If anyone has any ideas as to what is causing this or how to fix it i would really appreciate it.
Having a phone that can't make or receive calls when i need it to is really f'ing me off.
P.s. I have read and searched other topics for help on this but nothing so far has helped.
Might be something like I have? But I got no reply here...

Yer i read your post, what i don't understand is that it was totally fine in 2.1 and now in 2.2 it's messed up, not sure if that is the same for you?
I think it is something to do with it being for Norwegian users not UK and that somehow affects it.
I have checked the apn and it all seems correct, do you also have the issue with flight mode not working properly?
Just found this on an internet search...
: Samsung Galaxy S v2.2/Froyo update
Posted: 5 days ago in response to: stefan
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
Kind Regards

Not sure exactly what that means but it sure sounds like this might be the problem i am having.
I would be interested to know if other UK orange users have been having problems?
I would also like to know if it is possible for me to go back to to a previous version so i can actually use my phone.
I am orange uk, and have similar problem at home, but works well at office. Maybe it is due to the barrier of signal. if the signal level is lower than this barrier, only emergency call can be.
I do not know how to do but my friend advised me to update the moderm
Hi all,
Within the past week or so, I've noticed a fairly large drop in the signal strength from both my wireless lan and 3g signals. With the cell signal, it was even dropping to edge sometimes when I was outside in an area which used to give me full bars. Wireless isn't much better, and it seems to be fluctuating between 4/5 signal and 2/5 signal even though I'm close to my router. Again, I used to have full signal in the same location. Nothing really would have changed.
Yesterday I tried flashing Continuum (2.3.4) instead of running the stock 2.2 that I had before. The 3g signal seems to be *slightly* more consistent, although I'm still not at full bars, whereas I always was before.
Is this a common occurrence? Is it my hardware, and can I fix it myself, or do I need to send it in to Rogers? I've only had the phone for about 6 months now. I wonder if it's under warranty still (assuming I flash back the original ROM and bootloader).
If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated. It's odd, but the wifi signal almost gets boosted when I'm trying to use the internet, but not to full bars even when I'm near the router.
Bump. Is this the wrong place to ask this question?
Cheers
My AT&T Captivate has similar issues. Mine started about a month ago. I haven't put any effort into figuring out the root cause.
Yeah, I'd really like to figure out what's up though. Does the hardware just crap out after a few months of use? Thanks samsung!

This trend happened with my HTC Aria as well. I don't believe its anything related to Samsung hardware crapping out.
So, if it's software, what would be consistent across a ROM and kernel flash?
I recently fixed a network error effecting call quality by flashing a new modem. I know our issues are different, but since you did flash new ROM i dont think it could hurt.

Stumbled across this article on Toms Hardware today and felt like it was a good read for this thread.

Unfortunately it's not just my wifi that has issues, but 3g as well.

Have you tried flashing a different modem? The one that came with your current rom may be different than you had before which would account for your weaker signals. Different modems work better in different areas. Try something else and see if it doesn't help, such as JK4 or JL3.
I haven't yet, but I actually had the problem before I flashed the ROM.
Where are you located. I have absolutely ATROCIOUS reception in Atlanta, and ATT says they have some 50 towers down. Your area might be the same. In my basement where I used to have 3 bars consistently, i know have to run around the basement struggling to get one bar to send a text. ATT needs to get their act together or everyone might start switching to Verizon.
In Toronto, Canada. We usually have good reception. It's only recently that I have had issues.
check with other people such as your family and see if they have bad service too, if so call your service provider, there may be an issue on their end. Other than that all I can suggest would be a full reset to factory and a master clear and then restart from there. While that is annoying, it might be worth it to solve the problem.
I have been experiencing data issues after rooting my device. The signal bar never seems to fill all the way since rooting. Before root I would have pretty consistent LTE. I still have a data connection, however it isn't nearly as it was before. Also, next to the signal bar I've noticed an "!" every now and then, I've tried searching for what this might mean, others have experienced it, but there were no answers. I am on Verizon, my SIM Status states I am on the network,
Network type is CDMA - 1xRTT
Baseband version is: MDM9625_104446.01.02.101R
Building # is LMY47Z white/64
I had read some where on this forum about flashing different radios. I've never attempted to do so. I'm fairly new to rooting, this is my second phone I've rooted my self. So feel free to use Crayons when explaining. The only thing I've done outside of the root was enable WIFI tethering through the system/build.prop.
Thanks for any help
Well rooting alone will not affect your data. You must have done something else to affect it

I wasn't sure if maybe the recovery I used might of had an old radio of some sort, not really sure. I used TWRP if that matters. Like I said the only other thing I edited was the Build.prop with "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true"

if you messed up on the spelling in the build.prop method, you wouldnt be able to boot. twrp recovery does not have a radio, and is the only recovery for the n6. and rooting doesnt touch your radio, all root does is give you administative permissions. as a fact, since you still get a radio signal, even though crappy, its still a signal and nothing is wrong with your device. the only issue that you seem to be having is with your provider. do you live deep in the country? i know that with tmobile, thats where bad signals are, and some report the same issue as your having.
I get weird signal lte bars, but that's not indicative of call signal right? I am on cricket aka AT&T, using in central metro area, it tends to flux. Where as Nexus 5 and LG G3 seemingly had better signal (going by bars).
EDIT: have you tried checking your Settings>Battery>Cell Standby? What's you "time without a signal"? Today I got 3%, previously it was 10%, but I'm going in and out of buildings/elevators.
Well after a couple days I've been checking the Cell Standby like you mentioned. Its around 10%. When I'm at work its about 60%, but that's because I work in a controlled area that blocks most cell signals. My connection seems to be getting better, I can stream Netflix and other things on without much problems. I had my phone for a little bit before I rooted, and I never got the "!" next to my signal bar. I guess the "!" means it is searching for a data signal. I get it at least 3 times a day. I do live in a rural area, I wouldn't call it back woods. I'm about 30 min from the capital. but everything is settling out,
thanks for the replies!

I'm having major trouble lately with my turbo switching from 4G LTE to 1x, 3G, or even no signal or data signal at all. It seems to happen more when it hits 15% and the battery saver comes on. But when I turn battery saver off or hook it up to a charger it doesn't connect back up or do anything. I'm getting really frustrated by this because I cant seem to get my phone to re connect to 4G no matter what I do. I put it in airplane mode and even restart my phone; it wont work no matter what. I think its mostly because of the update to lollipop and its a glitch. I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue and if there's any way to fix it besides sitting there for a half an hour wiping the cache and not being able to use the phone.
I'm not experiencing that. Did it start right after you updated? Have you done a factory data reset since upgrading to the pop? Onethng you could try is going into setting and switching it from the factory global mode to 3G/4g and see if that helps. I haven't ever needed to with the turbo but others have and successfully avaoided doing an FDR. Lemme know if that works. We'll get this figured out.
Well I came from a rooted 4.4.4 so I had to reset it back to the original in rooted 4.4.4 in order to update. So technicly yes I did do a factory reset since the update. No I haven't had any trouble since the update until recently for some reason. I've got a signal booster at my house and wondering if my phone isn't trying to switch between the booster and the actual tower, causing it to take more power which makes it loose connection because it can't decide which one to connect to. But I have perfect 4G signal with the booster so I don't see why it would want to switch.
I wouldn't imagine that it would be the booster since you're signal is solid there, but it could always be a possibility. Have you tried switching from global mode under network settings to CDMA/LTE? That solved all the network issues I used to have with my old Razr Max HD. Also, have you taken the OTA that was pushed yesterday? Some people were seeing an increase in signal strength.
As a matter of fact, I updated right after I posted that comment. I didn't even know there was a update till I was looking at Google now and saw there was a small update out. I havent had any issues with connection since the update. I'll post back here if I do come into problems. Thanks for the help though.
Any time buddy! I sincerely hope that solved the issue!
Well I was using navigation earlier today and for some reason, not only did I completely loose my 4G data but it said I lost GPS to. My maps app continued to run but it didn't look like I was moving on the screen, even though I was. Guess the glitched didnt get completely fixed.
It's almost like it does it just at night and when I'm using a lot of data over 4G.
