I wanted to try and take advantage of the HUSPA in my area and flashed the Cognition ROM on my phone. It went perfect on the first time and the ROM worked perfect except my 3G has slowed down to below 56k modem speeds. Since then I tried going back to stock 2.1, stock 2.2, and tried other modems and nothing has fixed my issue. My phone is out of warranty so I am stuck.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am no Android expert, so please keep that in mind in replies.
Thanks,

There's a Cognition sticky in the Q&A subforum where questions like this should go instead of starting new threads in the wrong forum. Please use the sticky.
Oops? I don't see a move button.
I am also not sure the issue this is related to the ROM specifically. That's why I posted here.
*Moderator please move if applicable. *

If you don't think it's a cog problem then still post in q&a. That stands for question and answer.
It is specifically a cog question. It is because cog uses official kb1 firmware as a base which means att says no HSUPA for you. You can still use cog you just need to change the kernel and modem to an i9000 and then speed galore. While your at it switch to a i9000 rom because at that point it just makes sense.

If you guys put as much energy into *actually answering* questions as you do into telling people they were posting in the wrong area, I bet this forum would be twice as productive.
And. . . thanks for the warm welcome!

If newbies would put half as much effort into reading the forum rules and actually searching and looking around the forum before starting new threads we'd have more time to spend helping people instead of constantly educating them on standard forum etiquette.
Now, if any of us were being paid to be here to help others we would probably be a bit more tolerant, but since we are all just volunteers I think we have a right to try and keep the forum as tidy as possible.
Mine was doing the same thing out of the blue. It was fine but started being REALLY slow after flashing Cognition. A fresh flash after master clear fixed it for me.
I don't get paid to be polite to a stranger either, but I try to do it out of common courtesy. This isn't an exclusive club, and its not my first posting in a forum. I've searched and read stickies.
Why don't you let the moderators moderate.
Go stir another pot, thread closed.

Mr. Thin Skin, nobody was rude to you. I've even tried to be humorous in my responses, but it appears the abrasive one is you. I have the full support of the mods in what I do here, so take your complaints to them. And you don't get to close a thread, only a mod can you arrogant *****.
If you had "full support" then why aren't you a mod? For real, I'm pretty sick of the senior people here giving answers like this. If you don't want to help, don't help, they'll flounder on their own. I know it sucks to be asked the same question over and over, but it happens. We need to either ignore it, and let the thread die, or help, imo. Who gives a crap if there are questions in General? Again, IMO, there shouldn't be 2 separate forums, because no one gets it, there should be General, Accessories, Development, and Themes and Apps.

I thought I answered your question very directly. Only iphone 4 users get access to HSUPA with att branded phones. Official att captivate phones don't. Switch your kernel and modem and you'll be fine.

It's common courtesy to post in the correct area and research before starting a thread.
Hello everyone, I'm writing this because lately there has been a lot of turmoil in this section. People are leaving, upset with xda, posting off topic like crazy and showing hostility like I've never seen here before. I really wanna help make this section better as this is my main device and hate seeing it like this. I try and do what I can, delete off topic/flaming posts, move threads to the proper sections and so on but would love some input from the users here to make this section better for everyone. Granted I'm not the only mod here but this will benefit all of us so here's what I'm asking. If you see something you think we can improve on post it here. If a user is rude, flaming and going off topic pm me or another mod here or report it. I will do my best to address anything posted here. Granted I can't do anything about xda rules as they are in place for a reason but I can always bring up suggestions to the other mods and the admins. I really wanna work with everyone here so please suggest away. Off topic posts, flaming, rude comments will not be tolerated in this thread.
Thanks,
Ryan

I commend you. I could imagine your task at hand is like trying to clean up the streets of St Louis by yourself. It has become anarchy here, just people running their mouth with no consequence. You deleted one of my posts because it became off topic, I was actually happy, because it was deserved.
My only suggestion is consequence. I know it's hard to really "punish" someone over the internet, but any kind of action should be taken to breaking the rules.
Thanks for taking your time just to read post over post, just to see if people are following rules.
Thanks for taking the time to respond! Believe me there will be consequences if people break forum rules and I'm making a personal commitment to be extremely active here and do everything I can to make it better for everyone.

You're welcome. See you around
I think one of the problems that has gotten worse lately is the way new members are treated. Please see here from today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166265
I understand about searching, etc, and repetitive threads, but there is a right way and a wrong way to handle things and too many members here have started acting unacceptably to new members imo. It sets a tone and then the new members act the same way and the problem snowballs on itself and we end up with a forum of everyone being rude to one another.
anyway just my opinion and thanks for your efforts in cleaning things up
One of the biggest problems I have seen around Tbolt forums, is the fact that developers bust their asses for us and MANY people act as if it's a Dev's privilege for us to be using their Roms and what ever else. People should be thankful we get all these nice Roms and themes and what ever else for FREE. The other big problem I see is people not searching I've asked quite a few questions but MANY more have been answered just by using the search feature.
I know we have stickys but I think a big Noob sticky would help cut out some of the mess/easily answered questions.

Sadly that's the way it has always been, there are always those users who are on here to simply tear people down and complain. Maybe its boredom but its something that has always bothered me as well. Not sure there's much anyone can do about it however, unless they are flaming and posting rude comments that's when the mods can do their thing. If enough complaints are reported about certain users then action is also justified so don't be afraid to let us know.
I'm gonna improve the sticky I put up in the dev section to include more info for noobs and see if that helps.

No problem man, and I'm not trying to rat people out either. I just wanted to show an example of what has been going on. A lot of members here(even me included at times I'm sure) have been acting like this is our forum instead of us all acting like guests here and treating others as guests as well.
It's so hard to clean things up and police them, what one person feels should be asked in a thread for a specific ROM another person feels should be in the "general" or Q&A section.
If I'm having a "general" (ie battery, GPS, etc.) issue after I flash a ROM I'm going to look to that ROM's thread for answers - I find that if I post something in the 'general' forum about a specific ROM I get all kinds of answers from folks running different ROMs or that are not rooted and, while I appreciate the help, I don't think that somebody is as able to help unless they are on that particular s/ware. Isn't battery life and/or GPS a development issue if a lot of people are having that problem? Spin off to a new thread, reduce clutter, and post a link to the thread in the OP. (then you can at least chastise somebody if the info is in the first post which should ALWAYS be read in its entirety).
I think it would be nice if a developer would put in the OP a couple links to specific threads that have been started that are talking about specific issues w/a specific ROM. Right now the CM7 development thread has spawned a couple different troubleshooting threads, but there is no link in the OP to those.
On one of my previous ROMs the OP had all kinds of links to help threads and FAQ, etc.
I also think that the old "if you can't say something nice...." saying should be rule #1 - it would save a LOT of issues when somebody chimes in and says "how do I.....?" and somebody else responds with "why don't you try reading/searching, etc." - why can't they just take the same amount of energy they used typing that snide comment and instead point in a helpful direction?
I understand the frustration, I too get tired of the same Q's being asked over and over again but I've also failed at the "search" on the site and had to have people guide me, especially when it's something I'm new to, like Netflix, etc.
Now I'm just rambling......

I really doubt it will.
I can see what everyone is saying. I've been involved with Android phones since day one and have been active on several boards for many years now.
I was with T-Mobile for over 15 years and am a Pillar on their boards, so I've spent alot of time there.
I've used XDA for some time now with the G1, G2, Cliq, MyTouch, etc.
When I got the Thunderbolt, I came to this forum and I noticed a very different "air" about this forum as others had pointed out. I found it kinda odd since the phone was so new.
One thing that I did notice was that "moderation" (and I know everyone is busy around here) is not as, for lack of a better word..."swift" around here. On most other boards I am on (and also ran), rules violations were not tolerated and handled very quickly with "Time outs" being given out to minor offenders and outright bans given to major offenders.
That being said, as other have said, unless there is a consequence for an action, the behavior will continue.
Not sure what can be done to help monitor this board better, since I do not know how all of it is handled internally, but I think if there was more of a moderator presence (as in jumping into a thread and posting about staying on topic or watching language, etc). Maybe the "bad boys" will just get tired of not being able to "terroize" anyone anymore and just leave.
Just my two cents.
2 issue's that see on this board (and others) -
1. Anyone that ask a question already posted is immediately called a N00b and slammed on.
2. Just cause someone has low post count they are called N00b (yep happens to me on this one)
It seems that there is no patience by many user's on answering questions (if you don't have kids wait till you do, you will be answering them many times over) why get so flustered cause people ask questions, whether or not they have been answered. Not everyone is a N00b because of low post count (I know I'm not and can hold my own anytime) I also don't act like I know everything either. Some people can't let things go either.. if you don't like it why respond? just ignore it. A little common courtesy goes a long way folks. Also folks asking for things to be fixed ASAP on newly released Roms and refuse to use them until they are or they ***** and complain over and over about the issue. Just a question, do you act like this at home or deal with things like this at home with programs you use? All software has issue's if you think they don't or your the perfect programmer, you don't belong doing this. Even major software and telecom companies have bugs that happen that are not always caught on release. Its normal and if you can do better and want everything perfect, then start programming!
I'm actually planning on creating an introductory FAQ/howto for new users. I've written documentation for new users to Linux in the past and many of the questions parallel. I'm more than happy to help in any way I can

i commend you for this ryan but it's gonna take more than just you to make xda a better place to be. the issue is instead of people just answering questions, they always say "search" .....what a waste.
the other issue is this site seems to be run by the members and not the devs, nobodies hardly on here anymore it seems. it also takes forever for a mod to show up when you report something. now don't get me wrong i love xda for the freedom i have to an extent, i also do not want a police state like android central is. there has got to be a medium somehow.
i wish we could of talked about this earlier, i hate the fact soo many devs have left the tbolt section.
I'm glad to see an effort is being made, it's going to take work from everyone.
Perhaps we could have a subforum for unrooted users? There's a lot of questions where one assumes the person is rooted (because they don't bother to say) or users that aren't rooted are looking at the wrong topics to figure out what is wrong. There's also a lot of flaming between those that root and haven't rooted on the Thunderbolt forums it seems.
For example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169292
As a rooted user, this post would just be a waste of space and pretty offtopic. For an unrooted user, you're going to get the obligatory "ORLY???" type posts from rooted users because to those that rooted, this is old news (either because they already got the update ages ago or they changed their boot animation to something custom).

i dunno if id support that move, the forums can be cluttered enough as it is. if your not rooted at all i have no idea why some of you are on here? this place is for custom rom, mods and themes for rooted users mostly. no offense of course but most users come here too root.

I'd say probably 20% that come here don't root. I have no idea why either when they could go to more general forums for android out there that aren't so development/rooting focused. I really don't have much empathy for them when they complain about things being broke/not having fancy new features, but eh, each to their own. They would be better off complaining to the source (verizon) than complaining on here cluttering up the forum, since most of their issues cannot be fixed without doing what the refuse to do.
With that being said, a seperate forum would let them figure stuff out without getting in the way of those that did root.
Hello all on XDA! i'm brand new and shiny to the world of rooting, though i do have programming experience. I tried to root my Mytouch slide 3G but alas i never could get her to work right.
but yesturday i picked up a new ONE S and MY GOD i have never seen this much bloat !!!! a disney game?!?!? really?! well that wouldn't do so i jumped on here and took a swing at rooting again, with success!!!
i followed Torxx's method at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
step by step took less then an hour from start to finish
so now i have all this TMO crap removed and a phone that works properly and i'm kinda at a loss.... what do i do from here? i want to contribute to the community but i'm about as wet behind the ears as you can get.
thanks for reading, i know it's long but hell i'm so excited to have a smart phone that is just that for once.... smart

Well after root, there's always custom roms, recoveries, kernels, mods that you could try...
If you wanna stay here for long, the I'd advise you to try and UNDERSTAND how the mods/stuff work in the way you do...(rather than just flashing stuff blindly, like how a lot of people now do)
Once you get an idea of the procedure of how stuff works, who knows, maybe, one day you'll apply for the title of recognized developer
Best of luck!

Late yesterday afternoon I received 4.1.1 JB on my Verizon S3. I had read here & kept up with Drippler, etc., & had zero idea to expect it.
Anyone else get it shoved in their phone(s) yet, let alone yesterday?
My phone is 100% box stock, ... never even tried to fuss with root or anything like I used to with my HTCs.
Thanks, folks.

Ya considering it was available about 2 weeks ago via OTA.
In all seriousness, this is/was not a bogus, troll-like thread ... I did look around to keep track of Verizon's BS about being the last, or near-last, to release JB ... Therefore when I did get it, I was shocked, & wanted to reach out to folks on XDA that I knew would be snotty about my OP.
Thanks for keeping the hope alive.

Good day users and developers....
I am curious to know if someone has created a widget where you can with one touch enable and disable all location services??
I'm currently running stock but will be rooting soon .... just got the phone a month ago, came from an LG G2X.
If you could guide me to the right direction or tell me how moronic i am, i would greatly appreciate it... LOL
As always, you guys are awesome

This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but on Nova Launcher you can add a shortcut to Location access where you can easily switch it off. To do this you long press on home screen>Shortcuts>Settings shortcut>Location access and it will add a shortcut to your screen. It will take two clicks instead of one, but it's better than going all the way through the settings I guess.
Yup. That's so something that has always irritated me too. It's a great idea and would be good tied into the existing toggles.
