[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prplppleatr239:
On a whim, I checked for system software updates on the computer and there were a few that needed installed. After installing them, everything works great. I'm using Rhythmbox and the phone now shows up in there and will let my sync.

Thanks for the suggestions!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Sooo here we go. I'm finally getting desperate after dealing with this issue for sometime now.

Brief story of how I believe this happened:

A while back now I remember when Calkulin was releasing the radio updates and what not, at one time he released a TouchInput update (correct me if I'm wrong) . I remember I downloaded all of em, u know, radio, wimax, NV... so on so fourth... and I flashed the input file. Everything seemed to work great, but then I started having major touch issues. That same day I flashed I read multiple people were having issues with their touchscreen so Calk set out a previous version. I went ahead and flashed the older version and everything went back to normal... well, better than it was when it messed up. So now I'm trying to find someone who has any idea what in the world im talking about, or maybe you've had the same issue.

Still have no idea what I'm talking about? I uploaded a video on YouTube to show what I mean. =/ I should have put more of an example, but you get the idea. And boy does it get irritating especially when playing a game that requires multitouch...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXyJtrs2w9w

Anyone have any solutions? Ideas? Let me know here, or since I dont check back as often as I use to, send me an @ reply on Twitter @EvoROMBlog

I will honestly give some sort of incentive. Maybe I'll buy you an energy drink or something. ;)

**Really wishing to find a fix for this, knowing XDA, Im sure theres someone who can figure something out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
What kind of rom are you running? Are you rooted still? Our evos are capable of 3 point and 5 point multitouch depending on which hardware you have(touch sensors). If you're on a sense rom why don't you search the dev section for NETARCHYS kernel. I believe on aosp roms it supports 5 if your hardware does but I could be wrong. The kernel will enable either 3 point or 5 point multitouch; by default HTC has it set to 3 I believe with stock kernel. Fortunately mine supports 5 point so it makes emulation very pleasant along with a great multitouch experience :-).

Edit: Here's the forum link to the kernel where net talks about 3 point and 5 point multitouch. There's a command you can run to see if your touch sensors can do 3 or 5.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Honestly, dont know why it didnt come across my mind to try a different kernel. Ill give it a shot ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Some have it by default some don't. I would try the latest 4.3.4 build that also has the HDMI support. I recommend the havs less version because aggressive havs seems to not play nice all the time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Well different kernel didn't work.. I kinda figured it wasn't going to. I have a feeling its hardware related, but again I have no clue. If I can find some sort of touch input fix, I'm sure an experienced dev would know something. Thanks for trying to help tho.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Bumping my thread.I really need to figure out why my Multi-Touch is so bugged in Sense ROMs on my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
So through my searching, signal strength ranges from -50dbm (Excellent) to -110dbm (Poor)

I am constantly seeing numbers in the -80dbm range, indicating I have rather poor signal strength.

The fact that I am less than a quarter mile from a known tower confuses me. I would figure being that close I should have great strength, but I dont.

Is there anything I can do to help this, or.. why is this happening?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
I'm sure you have already, but you never know...

Do you update your PRL? That sometimes can help. Also have you flashed the latest radio update? Which ROM are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mindspin_311:
I am running SalvageMod.

PRL is 60677. I am not sure of anything else.

I am thinking of flashing all the lasest radios and such this evening.

When I was running Sprint Lovers, my PRI was the latest 1.90.xx.xx and Baseband was the latest 2.15.xx.xx as far as I know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaFox238:
Hmm.. honestly I'm not sure what else to think of. I must say tho, I have never tried SalvageMod.. but I do realize that some ROMs have HORRIBLE 3G speeds, as others work fairly well. Not sure why that is tho. I'm running MikFroYo 4.6, and my 3G is pretty decent.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
-80 dbm is actually not *that* bad at all. It's not great, but it's not terrible either. Performance degradation usually starts to happen in the lower -80's (closer to -90) dbm.

You need to remember, the db measurement is done on a logarithmic scale, not linear. A change of 10db is equivalent to a 100x change in power. Read here if you want to learn more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DBm

Yeah 80 isn't that bad try being on 99 when you get in the house lol. Glad I moved recently.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
I get horrible signal in my house. My bedroom I drop calls even. I was hoping this thread had some solutions. Lol I have tried a few roms radios ect .... many combos too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
There really isn't a permanent solution unless you relocate or call sprint and ***** about your ****ty service until they send you an "airave" unit for your home. At my old place the signal was terrible so I qualified to get a free airave and it boosted my signal from -99 to -65 which was awesome(also gives you 3G). Its just a mini cell tower that runs off your internet just in case you didn't know what it was. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
You need to go through retentions to get the airave for free.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r916:
Free? Yeah but they add a line to your account, that's exactly what they told me.

I told them I didn't want to add a line, I just wanted them to fix whatever was going on.

They credited my acct. $50 :)

Took a couple days of talking to CS but it wasen't hard at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I only spoke with 1 person and they took care of it I'm not sure if it was retentions. I have 2 lines on my account there isnt a 3rd line for my airave! They gave me the box for free and they airave fee is like 5 bucks a month I believe but they waive it so idk.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
You're right, after I activated the airave, a second phone # did show up on my account. However, the way it was explained, if/when I terminate my service with sprint, I need to return the airave back, or be charged $100 or $200 for the device. The device and plan that it's on is not subject to any etf or other fees. I was told assigning a number to the device is the only way they can link the device to my account. If I had a data card, it too would have a number assigned to it.

What is the issue of having this virtual line added to your account?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
Makes sense -- my MiFi (previously USB 3G) has a phone number assigned to it. I think it really has to do with the Sprint provisioning system being phone-centric. Any devices would likely need a phone number to fit properly in their system.

Little Help

So I rooted my sprint HTC EVO 4G a few months ago and just flashed the MikG v.2.55 ROM - all good. However, my voice signal reception went from 2-3 bars down to no service at all and my 3G connection is only 1X. I tried updating my "profile" and PRL, no help. Any suggestions on how to increase my signal strength? Do I need to update my "radios" - no idea what those are but I have read a few articles that indicate this might be the problem.

Hardware Version: 004

Android Version: 2.3.3

HTC Sense: 2.1

Software: 2.55

Kernal: 2.6.35.10-g6fe11b3-dirty

Agrabren@Poonsense PoonSense

2.3.3-1

Baseband: 2.15.00.0808

Build: MikG - Sense 2.1 + 3.0

PRI: 2.15_003

PRL:60681

Thanks in advance.

You may want to check if you are actuually connected to the tower you think you are. I have seen similar issues where the closest tower is not the one I am connected to. I use open signal maps on phone, to check, it also helps me tell where for line of sight I can go in house for best reception.

[General Questions and Answers] Bisis:
Hi all!

I would discuss with you what can be the best way to use a tablet for a typical business day.

Today I'm used to use my netbook during travelling for:

- read/answer email messages (I receive at least 120 mails/day)

- look at some excel files (typically only read, sometimes also write)

- look at some pdf

- show some PPT presentation through my screen or the VGA output

I'd like to start to use a tablet (currently I have a Samsung tab 7'', in the next future the 10'').

But... how to get access to my outlook mails? Not only what I receive day by day but also to look at what I received 1 months ago or previous.

Also how to have access to my PDF db? or PPT db? Should I use some sync program to sync storage tablet space and PC's storage?

What do you think about?

- Outlook: I can't use IMAP because I organized my mails in many,many,many folders and IMAP is really slow in syncing those...

- File Folders: do you know any nice app which can work nice on wifi (at least).

Maybe I could start to think to dropbox...

Any comment?

[General Questions and Answers] pprakash:
I am still a newbie on Android, but will provide some inputs which I am currently using on my XT3 ( not a tablet though)

- Outlook: My company have Microsoft ActiveSync configured so I use native Email Client of Froyo. I have my mails synced only for 3 days. With this you can choose which folders needs to be sync'ed. Looking at the volume you are trying to use I doubt if the default mail client can handle that load. You can give a try on alternates like RoadSync or TouchDown etc.

- File Folder: I use ES File Explorer. Its a free app and works like a charm on both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Have tested only with Windows machines until now.

Hope this helps here.

Using a 10.1" Viewsonic Viewpad 10s with internal 3G.

I have no answer for your email problem. I use GMail as my company is using GoogleApps. Access to older emails is a pain from the tablet, and like you I have organized my emails in folders and subfolders (called labels in Gmail). I can access them while out of office, but its not really fast.

For the files, I use "Documents to Go" as it gives me access to my Google Docs account. I can get Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF files from my account, read them, change them. It can sync files with your PC as well.

I have a galaxy tab, but i use the ipad for on the road business things, its really handy for showing the pdfs i make to explain things to clients and such, there's also alot of excellent business related apps that just aren't on android yet.

A excellent one is like a "minutes" app, and you record everything discussed in the meeting that you can look up on for future reference, it has like a contact lists in it for all the different clients.

As soon as Android matures ill switch to a 10inch tablet
[General Questions and Answers] Surfinette:
K9 mail has outlook/exchange support (although I've not tested it).

I use IMAP with K9 mail. The beauty of it is you can select which folder to sync. You may have many many folders, but maybe you don't need to sync all of them.

For all your other problems, I guess there is a solution:

There is MSOffice for android (read and write), PDFreader for android.

You should be able to browse through your work file through 3G/Wifi using a combo of cifs manager and ES File explorer. Assuming your work IT let you access to there network from your personal mobile device (they could decide it's forbidden for security reasons... my work would not let me do that).

Another option (not so convenient) for sharing files : Dropbox

Hope this helps
[General Questions and Answers] Surfinette:
Please provide examples
[General Questions and Answers] Bisis:
Thanks all for the answers!

I think mangus7175 focused the problem.. we need full PC access (through LogMeIn or something like) especially when looking for business mail access.

A PC is compatible with all kind of environment, I mean:

- do you have Exchange? taaaac.. use Outlook synced with it or another client

- do you have POP3/IMAP access? taaaac.. use Outlook synced with it or another client

- ...

I can't understand why this is not available with a tablet with a so big storage space... it'd not be a pst storage problem and with a dual core cpu not a performance one.

I mean that for business access we can't ask our companies to change the environment only because we need that. Tablet are still seen as gadgets.. some companies are going to give to account managers tablets to be more fashion while showing catalogues, documentation, etc.. but it's quite far to be a so common business device, yet.

So in the meantime we can use a lot of PC-like apps but when necessary we still need full access to our PC in the office. In this case the bad thing is that we need a lot of bandwidth and here in my country it's not so available and stable and RDP is not so comfortabel. However also in fast access without a mouse it's quite hard to use.

I'm sorry to say I'm trying a lot of scenarious but unfortunately I still prefer my netbook when travelling, with data manually synced through LAN/USB.

1. Kept reverting back to 128 after boot

2. Weird behavior on the app drawer (LauncherPro). After rebooting, touch app drawer; app drawer does NOT display, but the home icon appears over the app drawer button (can see both) and the phone is temporarily locked up, until I rotate the phone (between portrait/landscape), and it clears up, but keeps repeating that behavior.

I removed the app. May try the "SD Card Speed Booster" app...or do it manually via init.d.
