Can the Desire do 5.76mbps HSUPA?

[RandomDude]

I noticed that according to Qualcomm's press release
http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releas...first-chipset-solutions-break-gigahertz-barri

Snapdragon processor does 5.76mbps HSUPA by default.

The Desire is only set to Catagory 5 HSUPA which is 2mbps.

Can 5.76mbps be enabled???

I noticed in /system/build.prop you can change the HSDPA/HSUPA catagory settings

Samsung Galaxy S doesn't have Snapdragon, it has Hummingbird.

Just for information; made some tests with speedtest app on a cpl of servers, max download speed I could see was 4,6 mbit/s (my location Gothenburg/Swe, test server Aarhus/Denmark) and upload speed was appr 1 mbit/s, that was the highest speeds i hv reached by far. Hv no any clue abt technical details in terms of hsdpa, hsupa or whatever hw configuration built in my phone (Desire, network: 3 Sweden)

The Desire is only 2MB HSUPA capable. Honestly, that's massive uplink for a phone.

Sorry but my diamond1 and my old touch pro both have 7.2Mbit HSDPA, as does the desire. So 2Mbit is not that massive ever since 2006, yeah I had a TyTN too

We are talking about UPLOAD (7.2Mbit is download).

I noticed in /sys/build.prop you can change the HSDPA/HSUPA catagory settings, however even though I edit mine, the settings appear to be overwritten every time at startup. (android 2.1)

for starters the galaxy s has a hummingbird processor, thats an omap chip not an arm cpu like the snapdragon and 5 or 2 mbps unless you was sat directly under an empty cell tower that you had all to yourself you wont get anything ike that so it dosent matter lol

 

[freakzone]

sorry my bad, lost my lenses

anyway is there a network with 5 mbit uplink, I'll be switching

I tought omap is texas instruments and they manufacture and modify arm cpu architecture, is that right?

 

[ndrewpj]

I have 6.2Mbit DL and up-to 1.3Mbit upload here

 

[RandomDude]

Whoops... to clarify... I incorrectly mentioned the Galaxy S...


What I meant to say was, according to Qualcomm's own press release (see my revised post above)

"The QSD8250 supports HSPA data rates of up to 7.2 Mbps on the downlink and 5.76 on the uplink, with full backward compatibility"

OMAP is an ARM CPU, too. ARM is the underlying architecture.

Both the hummingbird and the Snapdragon are ARM7 instruction set processors.

If anything, the Hummingbird is an ARM CPU, and the Snapdragon is not, because the Hummingbird is based on the ARM Cortex A8 CPU core which is an ARM7 processor, and the Snapdragon is a custom implementation of the ARM7 instruction set - it i not based on the Cortex A8 core, but does use the same instruction set.
