Thunderbolt displays 4g but speed tests prove 3g - Thunderbolt General

Buddy of mine has a thunderbolt that displays 4g lte which is accurate, our city has amazing 4g, I have my gs3 next to his thunderbolt both displaying 4 bars of lte and mine pulls down 3789kilobytes/s and his is barely at 700kilobytes/s while displaying 4g lte. you guys have any idea what could be going on? he is completely stock, not sure about what build number he is on, i assume the current. this is his 3rd thunderbolt, i have heard that the 4g sim could just be deactivated but then it wouldnt be displaying 4g would it? other than that i assume that its a radio issue because the lte radio is set to on.

You consider 3.8Mbps amazing for 4G? Around here with the newer phones I get anywhere from 15-30Mbps. Anyways, I have noticed that my Thunderbolt gets drastically lower speeds than newer 4G phones. I'll get anywhere from 3-10Mbps, while newer ones get 15-30.

Usually when discussing network speeds, it's appropriate to display them in bits but I caught that =P
You should probably tell us a little more like what ROM your using, radio, etc (assuming he is rooted & has another ROM installed)... I do notice however, that I get around 3-4 MBits less then everyone with newer 4G phones.
My friend with the SG3 gets 37mbits where we live (solid), and I'll be lucky if I even hit 30. The Thunderbolt sucks, tell him to upgrade.

Anything above 2.4mbs down can't be evdo because that is the theoretical maximumof evdo.

sorry, i dont like bits because i cant relate that to anything, ya know? i know how much a byte is but a bit is kind of misleading in my opinion. anyway he is stock rooted, and that is good to know that it is slower than new phones, but i dont know if it should be that slow, almost 3mBts slower... and he is upgrading as soon as he can. but thats two months away, i was just trying to see if its a simple fix or not.

Yeah I misread that, most people reference it in bits (all ISP's reference it in bits as well). But this is the exact issue I found, if you read my original post.

Touch Pro 2 USCC

Which tp2 version is the same as the tp2 on USCC? I want to get a case but since uscc just got it they don't have cases specifically for uscc. So I'm trying to figure out which one is the same on the other carriers.
It looks like this

Just curious how many other people on here have the tp2 from uscc?
is that us cellular??
USCC TP2
I was told that the Verizon and Sprint version cases will work.
Have not confirmed it yet.
I also have the USCC TP2, LOVE THIS PHONE!!! Currently trying to tweak it to my eye candy.
Have not flashed it yet, but working myself up to it. Will be the first time for me ever flashing. Trying to get as much info before I jump.
My brother has a USCC touch pro 2 and I have the Sprint touch pro 2. I can verify that both of these devices are of the identical size. His has a blue background on the battery cover where as mine has a gold background. He has tested by belt case without any problems. Good luck! They are great phones.

USCC Stock Rom??
Does anyone have the Stock ROM from USCC? I am currently running the NRGPhoton ROM but it would be nice to have the stock ROM if I ever have to take it in to the store for something. I know I should have backed up mine but I literally took it out of the box turned it on, unlocked it and Flashed it. I was way too excited. Anyway, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
i just got my uscc tp2 after switching from a tp, i notice that they each have something better than the other tp1 much better multitasker memory always registered at only 35% at startup tp2 is at like 55% at startup but still i love it using my old ppc 6800 leather case for my tp2 and it fits like a dream so if have one of those cases try it, it works great, however i notice that the clock for some reason keeps switching itself back to usa eastern time from my central us setting havent figured that out yet. and also opera 9.7b seems to make my phone freeze up and uses all my free ram so i quit using it but iris browser and opera10 work great with it. Opera10 is one of my favs.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I have been looking everywhere for the stock ROM for the USCC TP2. The link at this PPCG page is dead, if you connect to their FTP directly and browse the USC file they have is only 67MB and will not extract.
I have dumped the partitions of my stock ROM, if someone can help me with making it into a flashable image I would be more than happy to share.

Sensation Not As Great

Hey I'm new to posting here but not new to android phones and I have got to say I think that the HTC Sensation is a huge let down in alot of areas. Im comig from a heavily modded rooted and unlocked Samsung Vibrant. I find myself regretting purchasing this phone.
HTC Cons
It Freezes alittle too much for a dual core without being rooted and with saying that the premissions have not been messed with.
Its taking a long time for HTC to send the unlock update.
The sorta indestructable glass has allready scratched.
The 4g serice rarely ever comes in and I live in the city.
The Wifi calling is horrible.
Overall not worth getting and I have yet to see a Team Whiskey Rom advertised I may return this phone to T Mobile.
I may just wait and purchase a samsung galaxy s2
I just had high hopes but have been seriously disappointed
Thanks for your stunning insight and valuable contribution to the forum. Did you not watch the video?
I think you should stick around. We got temp root a couple of days ago. I also came from a heavily rooted MT4G, I get the itch all the time. Good things come to those who wait I haven't had any of the problems you mentioned...maybe try exchanging the phone?
Ok...
It bothers me when someone has been around this long and their first and only post is something like this.
Let me guess...no other device has given you any type of issues.
I cant even find the software to unlock the phone.

Posts like this makes me wonder if you even had a " heavy rooted modified Vibrant" WOW!
This post should be removed
I did have a modded Samsunf Vibrant using Team Whiskeys Rom. I sold it on ebay in hopes I was on paper getting a better phone.
TBH after using the Sensation (From a Desire HD) I am also a bit disapointed.
Oh well, there is always HTC nxt phone, which will be running Ice Cream, and will hopefully be an upgrade, not a stopgap like the Sensation.
Good yall don't like the phone ,you can leave now
You had a Samsung Vibrant and you are complaining about the Sensation, SERIOUSLY? You were able to deal with all the issues with the Vibrant and you are unhappy after having the phone for a few weeks, REALLY? I really don't get it when people complain about a phone because the one that they had before was better, especially when all their complains were documented in every single respectable blog (including this one), before the phone came out.
We root our phones because we don't like stock roms, so you have to options: 1. be patient, as you were with your vibrant or 2. return the phone and stop complaining.

[Q] Absurd Overages from verizon (note 2 & s3)

Hey guys, just a little while ago i switched from an iphone 5 to a note 2 (best decision ive ever made) and now have an s3(long story). well anyways, the data cycle that started when i had my note had me using around 13 gigs of data. I was rooted and had data monitors on the device that had me using only 2.38 gigs. I also had never used over 2 gigs in the past when i had any other phone (ranging from iphones to the original galaxy s). now i have an s3 and we are only one day into our new cycle and nothing noticeable has happened , but it is also too soon to say that something wont happen. It basically started when we switched to the family share plan as well. I had done nothing different as of apps and such , and i also closed all my apps when not in use. Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but i thought that someone here could possibly give me a better reason as to why this is happening unlike verizon. called them a million times and they know less than me about the subject. any halp would be much appreciated, thanks everyone.
I had the same thing happen to my girlfriend's iPhone4s last month, which is on my data plan. Being as the iPhone4s is 3G only, I'm not sure how it managed to to rake in 16GB. Considering she typically uses less than 2GB per month, I suspect something fishy was going on with Verizon's metering. However, you can't really argue with Verizon's highly accurate charts!

gets me angry , especially when you call and they dont do anything . ughh now ive got 40 dollars worth of overages. guess ill have to start thinking about switching to at&t or something. & it happened in the same month for both of us, thats weird. too bad theres nothing you can do about it.
Install a data-usage measuring app, and verify the daily usage numbers against Verizon's:

The Oreo update for the H918 (T-Mobile) came out a few weeks ago.
Yeah, forgive me, I've been keeping my eyes out for updates on the T-MOBILE update and I knew it was coming but hadn't seen anything. I haven't really been watching the forums where I would have seen the posts about it.

i bought my V20 (H910) when I was still with at&t. Will I get the update, or will I have to somehow do it manually? Does my phone care about the difference? Does TMobile?

AT&T only sends updates over the air, and only if you are a current customer on their network (yea, super d**ks).
If you want to update your phone, you will have to root it. You don't have to STAY rooted, you can flash a stock Oreo zip.
Of course, this wipes your phone as well...

That's a great, detailed answer, thanks.
I'm interested in doing that, a few apps, specifically Spotify has been working poorly since Oreo rolled out for the v20, and I'm not sure if it's related.
I'm not 100% up to speed with this higher level android tomfoolery, I've flashed a new kernel to a Nexus7 for a car install, but that's it. Could I ask an extra favor, for you to link me to a good how-to on getting my h910 running Oreo? Some of the other writeups seem to be different variations. I must use the att software, regardless of my current carrier, right?
Rooting is no longer a point and click affair.

Thanks, I had read that post, and before talking to you, I wasn't 100% sure that it applied to my phone being on T Mobile now.
After giving it a closer read, that sounds like the kind of thing I'd try if I didn't depend on my phone as heavily as I do, or if I had a spare handy. just a tad too much ambiguity and the stakes are too high for my current life situation today.
Thanks again though, you thoroughly and clearly answered my question.

Question [FBS]What provider in usa supports this device?Poco X4 Pro 5G 256GB?

Amazon says its not compatible with verizon
Damn thing has sd slot, 3.5mm jack, bootunlockable.
i want.
USA
What provider in usa supports this device?
Mine is the redmi note 11 pro 5g, but they're the same phone. I connected it with metro by tmobile. it was a deal to connect tho, called once cause the automatic process wasn't recognizing my imei number.
i called once told them it supports their bands and they said they will send a connection request 24hrs later didn't work. Called again they talk to tech support, and said they will force a connection, and it worked, but charged me 20 bucks
I'm having the same run around with metro. Is there anything that you said or or that I should say to get the same thing done? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tell them you did your research, your phone is unlocked and supports all tmobiles bands, and tell I.t to for a connection. they will charge you 20 bucks tho like they did me, and even if they say some network features won't work just tell them it's fine.
My 5g works, volte works (you have to put in a code in the dialer) texting works, calling, all works great

goodluck bro the trick is be persistant and annoy them until you get what you want
(btw i got this less than a month when it came out, so no provider new about this phone here in the us i'm guessing so it was extra tough to get it working)
btw this phone is amazing, i was so scared the first day i got it cause metro wouldn't connect it or any other service provider when i submitted the imei number to test if it was compatible.
but it was all worth the trouble i love this phone
will be tough to switch unless the redmi note 12 pro gets a new game changing feature like wireless charging or curved front glass like their flagships
I've no doubt it was scary. I've had this phone for about a month and I am/was thinking it may have been money down the drain. I am not sure what you mean by curved glass but I had the original lg flex and I loved that phone. Lg really screwed up dropping it. I only gave it up because it was about out of any updates. Most of my apps were staring to not work soook. But kick ass phone. My first xaiomi was the note 8 global and that was all it took.
So I called metro 3 1/2 hour call for the third supervisor to tell me there was nothing she could do and that she would not put in a order for tech support to call me back. She basically said fuq u to me at which point I lost my composure and screamed every last profane name I could out at her till she cut me off. Lol I believe she is still wondering what an inner anal fn zit is. So any thoughts on my next move? Hahaha. I can laugh now but ....

wow, idk my way worked maybe try in a few days again or switch to a new provider?
Yeah I would be totally down to dump metro but I haven't got a clue who I could possibly switch to that will put this phone on their network. Imma gonna try metro one more time I'll let ya know. But thanks for the help seriously I do appreciate it.
