I have looked and I don't see anyone being able to do this. I have no idea why Google chose to disable the H appearing when connected to a HSDPA tower but I would like it back
Is it possible to produce an app that fixes this problem ?
It was my problem too. There's no simple way to do that. I'm sorry. You have to decompile framework-res.apk with git but it is possible with AOSP beacause for stock there isn't the source. That's what i've understood...if i'm wrong everyone can teach something to me
Hello,
I have been using CM for the last months, and now that the stock froyo rom is here with sense, I was decided to give it a try.
One of the things I have gotten used to in CM is the power control widget with 2G/3G options. I feel like I cant live without that right now, so I am trying to get it back. Has someone being able to do this?
I donwloaded the mod from here, and flash it using rom manager:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/3625-new-power-control-widget-with-one-click-2g3g-toggling/
But no luck, after restarting androud would freeze up after 5 seconds.
Any help? Thank youi!

I'm thinkin the same thing. Guess they have to sort out a new and updated app.
It isn't just that simple... guys at CM modified phone and settings apk for this to work... you can't just replace those two files here in stock FroYo! There are many dependencies. Besides you would at least have to deodex stock ROM but that's just the beginning...
I suspect it needs APIs only present in cyanogenmod. But, perhaps if the API for toggling 3G is discovered (it must be there as there's a HTC widget for this), one could modify the default power control widget.
You mean API call? I doubt that stock HTC ROM has that. Does AOSP have it? From the original author in CM thread you can see that he was waiting for Google to implement that call but they weren't so he modified settings.apk and phone.apk to allow that call...

The HTC ROM must have it (or something similar), since it has a widget for 3G enable/disable. Whether it's accesible or hidden is a different question. And AOSP doesn't have it, obviously.

The call might have the same name, but it calls different aspects of setting. Only that way the same software would produce two different results using the same action on two different ROMs (namely CM and stock HTC). This sounds logical.
Google "switchpro" it is just like the CM froyo power widget but more customizable.
And then what?
We know those widgets but we are talking here that they don't produce the same result on different ROMs... namely CM and stock HTC's.

Where is that widget? does it really switch from 3G to 2G in one click?

I tried it, but when you clicked on the 2G/3G switch icon it takes you the settings, it does not switch in one click, not as good as CM power control widget
so after updating to 2.2 i found out that there is only 1 set of bars up top now there was two and i believe the other was called evdo, does anyone know why its gone now ?
Nope they removed it for some reason... dunno why.... it was basicaly replaced by the new 3g icon....
I do miss the old CDMA AND EVDO(3g) graphs though as I get really crappy cdma reception here and it always looks like I have no bars when I have full 3g reception...
well, I'm sure you can always find a 1.6 dump and tear it down and get the bar icon for 3G and inject that into the first custom rom?

lol if I was only smart enough to do that
Someone here will get it. I've been working on learning more about android so we can get to the point of using our own custom roms, maybe even clockworkmod or our own recovery or boot selecter.
Widget
If i'm not mistaken i think there is a widget in the market place for evdo bars it might have been cdma i can remember something to check on though.
**Edit: signal status bar app in the market say its is a widget and will put it on the status bar as well...works for cdma evdo and gsm. paid and free versions available.
Yup I also want to start researching android and learn to code for the OS. I think that someone will definitely exploit the new froyo rom to create a custom rom.
We just need more devs and peeps to engage the stock roms.
I really hate to start this back up about enabling phone support on sch-i800. But the lack of post/info about it is very annoying. We know that hardware is there to make it work. But how far is the software limiting us on this fact? I myself have mine on a voice plan with Page Plus and could in theory make call's if I can get the tab to support it. I have made it as far to get the Tab it self activated and programmed onto Page Plus, and Framework-res.apk edit for the dialer to show. But when it trys to call out it just shut's the call down and I'm back at the dialer. If anyone could shed a little light my way I would be grateful. Anymore apk's i should edit? more in the framework somewhere? Any info guys ? I have full service and 3g perfect on this thing.
CM10 with dialer from framework edit.

Hey Haxz...I grabbed just a 3rd party dialer..and it tries to make a call..and closes...I was wondering if you ever found a way in to Diag Mode on CM10 so edits can be done such as web settings and prl updates with qpst...I have mine running Cricket...Thanks..
Actually I was able to get into diag mode using a command line in terminal emulator. Looks like original post was by autoprime I think, so thanks to him. This line worked for me. echo MODEM USB > /sys/class/sec/switch/usb_sel. I was running cm9 roms also.

I found 2 scripts in the Sprint section that click click and you can switch between PDA and Modem..But one thing....I can get web settings to work under GB but no ICS/Jelly Bean Roms will work with Data period..I have re-checked the settings dozens of times..and nothing...One thing just in case you need the info...To change APN settings...I had to use the Sprint modem file...If you try to write in qpst with the Verizon modem file the settings won't take..Thanks for the response on it...
This thread is a few months old but I wanted to post that apparently the trick to getting voice back is to replace the modem.bin from a samsung fascinate because it's the same dialer hardware.
I haven't done this as it's beyond my abilities but I've read it elsewhere.
If anyone successfully tests this, perhaps they can make a clockworkmod zip file that we can flash over cm10.1
From what I've seen, download booster was only hidden in settings of S5 from the Consumer. I posted a thread in Sprint S5 talking about how to enable and thought I'd share here as well for general info.
If you'd like to assist in this project, send me a PM. Any and all help appreciated. (need someone who can edit smali as well)
----Enable Download Booster for All variants S5----
1. Download third party launcher
2. Long press homescreen
3. Select shortcuts -> activities
4.Scroll to settings and open
5. Scroll to Download Booster to add to screen
6. Tap new setting icon on homepage
7. Enable and profit
After enabling, you can see download booster in notification bar grayed out until usage. You CAN unistall third party launcher afterwards if you desire since download booster still activated.
Edit 4/16: WIP, still testing to see what may work. Any info towards file on variant where download booster is enabled would be appreciated (ie, extracting file from T mobile version and posting on forum). Will try to work on it. Currently looking into the S4 forums towards the path and edits needed to make it work.
EDIT 4/18: need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk from phone variant that has download booster as an option so I can try to port it to our device.
EDIT 4/23: so Ive gathered the T mobile versions of the apks and decompiled. Ive managed to get the download booster in Sprint Variant settings as of now and easy enable from touchwiz (see screenshot). Still working to fully enable.
EDIT 4/26: see post 30 screenshot, need to find this file location.
EDIT 4/26 #2: after help from miked63017 pointing me to a post by eyecon82, along with what I've found from various ROMs and Db files/etc, I have enabled Download Booster in the Notification Panel drop down (see screenshot). Now to get it fully working.
EDIT 4/28: after decompile of SystemUI, NWBooster actually has many places within, mostly smali edits needed to enabled under Network Controller. The Network Booster is actually related (by searching the SQLite Editor->Settings Storage->Settings.db->system->search for "Smart") to Smart Bonding to the Quick Tile for NWBooster. Also, through decompile of the SystemUI, under Network Controller, I noticed a ro.config.combined_signal (still deciding what this actually is based on file).
EDIT 5/4: I've linked the download booster (aka nwbooster/network booster/smart bonding) to WFC (also called Wificalling). By noticing that smartbonding (under settings.db from SettingsProvider) that Wificalling AND Download Booster both tripped the smart_bonding to become 1 from 0 (showing enabled). I looked again into the Settings.apk decompiled and found that DBooster IS linked to WifiCalling, meaning we get one enabled, we get both. I also know, that under /System/framework that TmoWfcUtils.jar exists which DOES have functioning into why T-mobile has both the Wificalling and Download Booster enabled. I believe this jar has something to do with Dbooster and it being enabled. If you'd like to assist in this project, please PM me.
Unfortunately, that doesn't do anything. Maybe (hopefully) it'll help the process along for a dev to find a way to truly implement the feature, but for right now...that toggle is just for show.
Download booster is already in my settings menu, I had a small update yesterday, not sure if that was part of it. I have not really tested it yet though.

Download booster is only turned off for AT&T and Verizon customers. Sprint and Tmobile are still allowing it due to truly unlimited plans.
Nuts...since havent posted my requisite 10 posts yet, Google is your friend about why and how you can get Download booster working...
Im sure one of the fine folks here at XDA will have a workaround in a day or two at the most. Just got my S5 today (tmobile) and was looking for a root workaround (Thanks Chainfire!).

Not option yet for Sprint/ATT/Verizon devices yet, I dont believe there has been update for our devices to enable this option. If you could see back to new update in OP, I need framework-res.apk and SecSettings.apk to see if I can port over to our phones since update may not come for some time (do not have ETA on when theyd do that).

Sprint/ATT/Verizon all do not have download booster option even possible. No one has ported this to our devices yet (as to my knowledge).

Testing it was a disappointment, I really didn't notice any difference in download speed but there again I think three had issues tonight with data, 4g and h+ were both incredibly slow at about .5 mbps ?

Revelation, thats what I was saying. Someone will have a fix in the next couple days. Phone only came out the 13th. You guys know your stuff when it comes to getting rid of the stuff carriers add or break that the phone should be capable of doing anyhow.
And if I could post up speedtest jpg I would. 33Mb/s d/l and 6 Mb u/l. But the download booster wasnt lighting up on the status bar. So I am guessing it was just using wireless in the house.

Yeah, as of now until I can work on trying to get the booster to work via editing files and apks, the icon will be there yet no function. Hopefully it'll come in few days but, unless someone in community develops it first and ports, sprint I don't count on releasing update soon (hopefully wrong and sprint would do that). I'll be working on it as well as others to get this working.
Not on sprint.....

Revelation, how would one go about getting those apk's? After rooting I would imagine, but total noob here. I just use the ROMs after you guys cook them.
Currently still stock and no rooted yet on Tmobile. Just finished getting it all set up. Going from S2 with KitKat from Thddude to this thing is a bit of a change...LOL!

Since you have t mobile, you need root of course. Once rooted, use file explorer to navigate to individual apks and then basically copy/paste into another folder so you could post here. Secsettings.apk in system-> priv-app and framework-res.apk in system-> framework folder. OP had apks needed based on what I saw on S4 and what they extracted in S5. I'm going to dig in their first once I get t mobile or other variant files (preferably t mobile since only still US carrier to have download booster enabled as option). Hopefully if I find the source of where disabled, I can recompile the apks to work on all variants. If I don't find it in those apks, I'll keep looking based on what I see in other claims to being download booster enabled.

Ok if I can post up my dropbox correctly Revelation, I should be able to get this to you. However I couldnt get the priv-app file. Couldnt find it. Only the folder named that. Total noob with Unix anything...
go to dropbox.com/s/l1tdljwtlv2yhu9/SecSettings.apk <<< remove spaces before dropbox to get that one.
same thing dropbox.com/s/936v90266784vt2/framework-res.apk <<<same thing. Just remove one space.
Hope that it helps out somewhat. Then I may feel like I actually contributed something.
