I've searched and seen this discussed about a few other phones, but it doesn't look like there's been any luck with any HTC GSM phone, but I thought I would pose the question to see if anyone can figure it out.
As you may know, AT&T uses the AMR-HR (Half-Rate) codec in some areas with Edge, which can sound like crap in low service areas.
It would be really useful, and probably make a lot of people happy, if there was a way to force this phone to use the AMR-FR (Full-Rate) codec.
Most devices this is a simple bitmask, this is one of the things on my list for WinMo devices, so far in the several I have messed with I haven't figured it out.

Any updates on this?
I would be extremely happy if you figured it out and it improved my call quality. I would definitely throw some money your way!
I've identified several possibilities, but what I haven't found is how to identify the current codec in use. I need a reliable, repeatable way to do that before I can start flipping bits, my ear isn't reliable enough
You can use FieldTest
Go to the 2nd group (AMR).
Minimize that, then make a call.
Then go back into FieldTest (while still connected to the call), mine shows AMR-HR (I don't know what it shows for FR since I'm not in an area that supports it, but I'm guessing AMR-FR).
Doh, i'm a bonehead! I never switched to GSM when I checked there, so it was never reporting any values at all, being in WCDMA.. awesome, let's get this party started
Woohoo, can't wait!!!
Hello;
I'm wondering if people could post their status for the data so that those of us who don't have data have something to tell Rogers.
My status is that Rogers won't do the Network Refresh - I've called and spoken to about half a dozen people (both in data and not) and there is obviously a memo as none are willing to do it. I've requested escalation but have not heard back.
They are insisting that even if the refresh did work, it could also revert and no longer work -- can anyone confirm whether or not they have lost data since getting their refresh?
They have also told me that they can't do the refresh for technical reasons, they've told me that the refresh won't do anything since the tower won't communicate with my phone until I put their update as it won't be compatible. So basically I'm getting the run-around ... no surprise.
I'm also on a "master ticket" which they claim only have 40 people on it - seems to me that this board has more than 40 people, so maybe there's only 40 of us that are modded and can't otherwise get data.
I'm on 1.6 now, but obviously if I can't get the data back I'll look at CursorSense32A since from what I'm reading here that seems to be the only one that reliably works w/o Rogers intervention.
Here's my current details:

What is from development in your post?
Hello 5[Strogino];
My apologies if this is in the wrong area: I put it here as this thread Rogers Mandatory Update is here as well. I did look to see if there was another forum and thought maybe "Software and Hacking General" but it says no noobs and as this is my second post I'm pretty sure I qualify.
I'm really just trying to get a single location where those of us who are/were affected by the mandatory update can post our current status. The original thread has a lot of people posting a lot of different scenarios and there is a lot of time covered in that thread so it's difficult to tell if people had it working, lost connectivity etc.
So with that goal in mind, can you suggest an alternate location for this thread and either maybe you can get it moved (as a sr. member?), or I can repost it there.
Thanks.
I had no data for almost a week. I then upgraded to 6.35.10.18 Radio and 1.76.2007 SPL, and then installed cursorsense rom.
My data returned within about 36 hours.
Lee
Flash the 6.x radio and 1.76 end SPL and then this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592856
It has the rogers radio.When data returns, you can revert to 3.xx radio.

Are you still giving out this bull**** advice?
HERES THE REAL SOLUTION
1. Call Customer Care *611 : Say cancel my service to get to a rep without saying anything else
2. Tell them youve updated to the newest rom and that your data isnt working ( they shouldnt ask any questions really just tell them it was from the website)
3. They will perform a resend to switch which will disconnect you from the call
4. Reboot phone and you will have data
NO NEED TO FLASH ANYTHING
5. Have Data faster than what the above solution is telling you
I can confirm this works on both rooted dreams and magics as i own both and have friends with dreams
data has not been lost once
If customer care gives you a hard time request their manager
The manager should coach them to do the data restore or hell do it himself
If the manager is a douche and wont do it (sometimes this happens)
just tell him u want to cancel because of this
they should be able to do it to prevent you from canceling your service i would think
honestly ive never had a problem finding a rep to do it in 5 seconds
just hang up if you get an idiot and try again ;P
Customer relations and customer care and the escalation support group all have access to the network refresh
If you want a manager they can resend to switch
If you want to cancel you are transferred to customer relations
who can resend to switch
AND the people that you talk to customer care can too
If your talking to tech support they are retarded
The customer care policy from a senior customer care agents mouth " Our reference says to do the resend to switch to refresh the network to restore data"
hey alan090;
I've been trying that for a week -- I'm sure this worked earlier, but this 'hack' appears to be closed. They seem to know not to do this both in the regular wireless as well as the data divisions.
Has anyone installed cursorsense and not gotten their data back?
Question #2:
Are people who have data via network refresh still getting the texts and calls to tell them they need to update?
On Amon RA's 1.6.3 Donut ROM. Had no data for about 24 hours, used the live support and got it back with a network refresh. Have had it even since. Never flashed the new radio or any new ROM. Still getting texts and calls though, quite annoying.

We all know a network refresh can get our data back. However, we don't know if it is a permanent solution. Rogers can disable phones that have the old radio again any time they like.
On top of that, getting someone to actually do the refresh is a major PITA, something I certainly am not willing to do. Calling in repeatedly to get someone who will do it is not my idea of fun.
I'd prefer to update the phone to the radio they are looking for, and then I can load on any rom I want.
I'd suggest you don't put down others suggestions, especially since they seem to work for everyone. We know the refresh works, and this method works too.

The refresh is permanent and is the PROPER method
If the Radio works thats just luck
I KNOW agents personally in customer care
I just chatted with them last night
and This is what needs to be done
Changing radio and rom for the data back is too much work even if it does work
The network refresh works for everyone
This method has not been 100% conclusive since people have flashed it and it still does nothing to bring data back

Flashing the radio is the conclusive way to bring radio back.
If you have any idea who bcrook is you would give some credit to his advice, because he is one of the ones on xda who knows his stuff about the technical aspects of things.
After flashing the radio image, I have not received any more texts or phone calls from Rogers.
Flashing the radio is very simple. You just have to make sure you do it right. I also received a network refresh, but flashing the radio is the permanent solution.
So yes. Do your network refresh. If you can, flash your radio too.
So for those who upgraded to CursorSense basically needs to stay with this ROM forever? I like this ROM but I'd like to be able to upgrade to some version of 2.x in the near future...

Ive had people on the same radios from day one with their data back
VERIFIED never touched the rogers radio and *gasp* still have data
notice you had the resend to switch as well as the radio? do you think if you didnt flash the radio it would not work magically? no it still will
you can still use the stock 1.5 image with no updates to ANYTHING and get your data back
think what you want im just trying to help you guys get your data
spend 24-48 hours waiting before you actually follow what I said to get your data back as the radio step is completely unnecessary
Oh BTW regarding those texts and/or phone calls
so dont feel special because they stopped sending them to me on my v3 radio too
Alan,
I manage 15 or so Rogers phones at work, and the only people who got texts and calls about it were our dream and magic users. The other 11 or so people did not get any messages.
Rogers would have identified who to alerts/disable by either:
a)IMEI on your account
b)doing a scan for certain phones.
"a" is much more likely, as otherwise they would pickup non-rogers customers who happened to be in a Rogers area when the scan was done.

So wait, let me get this straight...
Upgrading to the files they are looking for is "bull**** advice"
The REAL solution is calling into Rogers, threatening to cancel your account to get a network refresh?
I myself called Tech Support and Customer Care for about a week asking for a network refresh and never got one. The days that I did, nothing happened when I rebooted my phone. Eventually I just upgreaded the Radio to 1.76 and installed the default Rom (But I still have access to fastboot for future flashes). Withen about 36 hours my phone had data again.
Threatening to cancel you account is a stupid way to get data back. It's an equivilent to throwing a tempertantrum because your mom said "No more cookies unless you do your homework". Screw doing the homework, cry and tell them you'll run away is the REAL SOLUTION
I have searched and only found the posts in separate threads talking about the loss of Sprint TV, and most have not been addressed within the threads. I had Damage 2.1 ROM installed and lost Sprint TV after nearly a week. States I need to be a Sprint Customer to use this app.
I switched to the Fresh 2b ROM last night and had Sprint TV working. This morning I get the same message I am not a Sprint Customer.
I have updated the Build.prop file to show the 310120 and Sprint thinking this might help. Just curious if anyone out there with more knowledge than me has a fix for this. As I stated in a thread post, the TV on the phone is a great kid distraction at times when I need it. That and I like having everything I am paying for working.
Thanks
Interesting, I was thinking about flashing my ROM to one of the custom 2.X roms, however if this is the case I may just wait a while. Although I don't use Sprint TV alot, jniiya is right, it is a good kid distraction to have on your phone... Then again TV turns kids in to zombies.
I can run Sprint TV just find using damgeless, and I'm able to stream with no problem. I did have to restart my phone after I installed it though.

It's not a problem of getting on the phone. I have had it installed from day one with both ROMs. It works for a while, but then it gives me the error of you need to be a Sprint Customer to use this app.
I am thinking since these builds are based off the Eris it is sending some type of info back to the Sprint servers show it as a Verizon phone. I just can't figure out what it is since I have changed the build.prop file, and I am not familiar enough with these systems/codes to dig around and think of another place it would be sending back info as if it were Verizon.
This is not like a deal breaker with me in anyway. Just trying to figure it out for the future.
Thanks for reading the post.

Exact same problem here. It works for a while, then I get that error message. If I uninstall and reinstall Sprint TV (pick your favorite method), it works for a while again, but after minutes, hours, or a day (no noticeable pattern) I get that error message.
I've posted on it in several threads about this topic hoping to find a fix. People have told me to edit my build.prop file. I keep trying, but I'm new to this, and every time I try to add the lines below I have problems. The phone freezes during boot up, and I end up having to do a nandroid restore.
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310120
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
Several threads on this forum and others say this (or variations on it) will solve the problem, but it locks my phone up. I've tried with the =, without, with spaces before and after, and at various places within the file. I wonder if I'm doing something really stupid because I don't know exactly what the formatting is supposed to be. If anybody knows of a tutorial on build.prop, I'd be thrilled to use that, but I haven't been able to find one.
Been working fine for me. Running Fresh 2.0b2 since Flipz released it.
Not to hijack, but have you tried the TV.com app? Something like that I think I uninstalled it, but I thought it was actually better than Sprint TV...
Yep, I went back to 1.5 Fresh because of Sprint TV. Sprint just got ESPN and the NCAA tourney should be on. I am crossing my fingers that Sprint releases the update in the next week or so.

You do not have to add the lines just change the values. The lines are already in there.

No problem. I am also using damage 1.0, however, I see references to pancake (and cupcake, bikcmp) in my build.prop file. I was surprised by that. Is that normal? I did do a wipe (wipe data/factory reset) before I installed damage. In fact, I wiped before going from pancake to fresh 2.0 and again before going from fresh 2.0 to damage.
If you can post the build.prop, I'll give it a try and report back.

Sorry for the late post. I just pull it from my phone. Attached is the build.prop from Damage 1.0. Again I do not use SprintTv or have it installed so I do not know if it will fix it. You have to rename the file to build.prop and push it to /system/.
Ok so I'm watching ESPN all day long at work, and I turn it off so I can get ready to leave work.
While on the subway I try to access it and I get the "You must be a Sprint customer to view Sprint TV" or some crap like that. I'm like ok, maybe because I might be roaming on Verizon network its not letting me. So I wait until I have a good signal and try again, same error message.....
I tried restarting phone, disable and re-enable mobile network, and checked to make sure I wasn't roaming. No Luck.
Look for the Tmobile ported one

Hey there y'all!
I have a messy situation right here, looked for answers all around and coulndn't get a clue anywhere... so I'll try to explain in the clearest way possible my weird issue... (sorry for my English, will try my best to be rightfully understood)
Six days ago, I got this cute Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate SCH-i500, my cousin sent it over from the States down here to Mayan lands of Mexico... I had ZERO knowledge on Android, and in these past six days (including it's sleepless nights, and mostly thanks to this amazing forum with tons of useful resources and really helpful, cooperative people) I just learnt a WHOLE LOT about the marvels of Android devices...
First, I started rooting my SCH-i500 succesfully (yay!), then came the attempt of activation with the only local CDMA Carrier (Iusacell) and the equipment's "Homologation" (that's the term they use here for the programming cellular hospitals and workshops have to do to one's device in order to function properly with the carrier's infrastructure, no need to say this is something a little bit dumb, I consider the carrier should help their customers, specially the new ones, to set-up their data plans... I found out about carriers like Cricket who even help you with a flashing tool, if I'm not misunderstanding, to get your cellphone working with them), well, voice activation was pretty neat, 5 minutes and I had a line... be it a MDN, a MIN and the correct HomeSID for my area, and then came the "hard" part for the newbie... After trying to and succesfully figuring out how to use QPST, and hours of desperate search for faulty info on latinamerica carriers to dump to my Fascinate, I did it, for some reason I changed my ROM to "powerwashed_20_b3_Full_ec09modem.tar" and began working with it, it wasn't until today that I got 1X connection with my carrier, it was awfully slow!! managed my way to get 3G, and I DID! But it was still clumsy, only green arrow sending a lot of data and no orange incoming data to my device... which was desperating because the carrier said "they don't guarantee the phone is going to work being from another country, but I had to try and pay for a pre-paid data plan in order to make my tests... well, I knew something was not going well with the data I was using to fill the required fields in QPST... went back to my stock VZW ROM and went over and over the process of reprogramming my phone's service... I found out that VZW settings were somehow stuck to the phone, and no matter how many times I entered the info, it wasn't changing to my carriers info, I used first QPST 2.7 build 323 to fill up what was needed, uninstalled and then switched to build 215 (as I read around here) in order to get the PPP settings to stick to the device and override the Verizon old settings... and then was the nasty "nightmare-ish" moment I could never foresee... QPST threw a pop-up window marking an error, saying I was using the wrong SPC, and that I needed it for writing the QPST info to the device, THE SPC CHANGED!!! It just pops me out (in QPST as well as in the ##DATA# or anywhere in the phone) the sign: "INVALID LOCK CODE". Is that even possible? So sorry for being ignorant, but couldn't find an answer that could really solve the problem... yes, I tried CDMA Workshop with no luck at all... my cellphone actually lost contact with the carrier and had to go to the PowerWashed custom mentioned above (Im still in the network, but can't do any significant change without the SPC code)... so, any kind suggestions?? any expert around looking for helping a fast-learning noobster like me?
Hope there's something silly I'm missing because of ignorance or something like that (nothing "deadly" for the device)
Thanks a lot in advance for taking the kind time to read my long query, and for any help your knowledge may allow me to get out of the unpleasant issue
Have a great day!
My bad! I'm sorry...

So I am running a HTC phone and have made some mistakes. I have been trying to change my NAT type on x bone in order to play Rainbow six online with open NAT.
I tried tether to laptop then to box using a cross over cable and forwarding ports over Internet connection sharing. I also tried installing multiple port forwarder applications onto my phone and tethering directly to the XB. One app was meant for a rooted phone (port forward ultimate), which mine isn't and it would let me stop the process before uninstalling.
Unfortunately for me it didn't work and now the tethering speed is INSANELY slow. It tells me there is an MTU error (1340) and the games which used to work fine are now completely unplayable. I wish I had never done all of it just to play one game as the others worked fine.
I am really upset, because the bit of internet I get to play video game is barely keeping my alive at the moment and now its gone.
If you have any advice you would be helping a very ill man get a little bit of joy.
Thanks
Does anyone know anywhere in the UK where I can speak to a professional about my issue. I never get responses on this forum. Any other forums where professionals dwell and give advice/help?
Nobody has the knowledge to help at all?
Can't bring myself to believe that no one has any knowledge of what to do in this situation.
I will pay for someone to help me if that's what it takes to get someone to respond here.
So...If your Phone isn't rooted, you can try (if you have one) to recover all the information. If the Phone has a Guarantee, go to the shop where you buyed it. Since it isn't rooted the Guarantee is still on it. If all of that isn't an Option, the easiest way is to root the Phone (totally worth it anyway) and try an equal App. Not the same just onenwith the same function. Write back if none of these helps, and give some more Information about your mobile (S/N number Android Version...)

Its nothing to do with being rooted or not, my ISP is throttling my tethering somehow and I don't know how or why they are doing it. It worked fine for months, but I tried opening my NAT. It think they are doing something with my IP, subnet mask or MTU, but I don't know how to get around it. Other than rooting and applying tether dun 0, which I would prefer not to do, I am at a loss
Correction, I do know why they are doing it, it's because I tried opening my NAT, which is not allowed. The latency in games has quadrupled. 4g was perfect before, now its barely playable. I want to know why this is happening. Can mobile providers throttle tethering? It still works just very badly.
So, you live in the UK. So you think it's a problem with the provider. Wich provider is it?
It's either my mobile provider or the only other thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone a few weeks back.
Could dropping your phone cause the wifihotspot to work incorrectly? Surely if it was broken it would just work or not work.
I get very decent speeds on my phone but when so tether my speeds are awful, which never used to happen.
I am trying to rule out various possiblities and although I am alright at tech, I don't know much about mobiles and though there were a few knowledgeable people on this forum.
.
I am going to see a professional. I didn't realise it was all amateurs here, my mistake.
