No difference between the two as far as connection. Wireless tether has a much better gui that gives you a connection bit-rate and total consumption so you can keep an eye on how much data you're using as well as speeds you're getting.

Thanks to NFHimself, we can have HSPA on the Atrix. I have uploaded the new radio, and when i go to status it shows HSPA for Network type. Why does it not say that on my Inspire? I am getting good upload and download speeds on it. But it shows HSDPA?

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
How is it the wrong forum? He's asking about why his Inspire is not showing HSPA in status...
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
From what I understand:

HSPA is 3G

HSPA+ and HSDPA is 3.5G

My atrix use to allways show HSDPA in status. Now with new radio on it, i am getting better speeds on my atrix over inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
That makes no sense.

HSDPA and HSUPA is what makes up HSPA.

HSPA is 3G and HSPA+ should be 3.5G which means LTE is 4G

[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Makes no sense? You can say i'm partially wrong.. but not totally wrong. Do you feel special or something?

Go into settings>about phone>network... what do you see? HSDPA
[HTC Inspire 4G] shawn1224:
HSPA = HSDPA = HSUPA ... They're all part of the same family (The Johnsons). Highest you can get is 14Mbits down and 5 Mbits up

evolved HSPA or HSPA+ (The Smiths), different family. Highest theoretical speeds 84Mbits down and 22Mbits up.

Now can we get back on topic?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GSMinCT:
You're never going to come to a consensus on which one is which .something G. The only thing I'll say is HSPA+ is NOT 4G. Maybe 3.99G, maybe 3.9, or 3.75, or 3.5. :D

Can we please get past the point of what "G" Standard it is.

No luck for me. I have installed the Honeycomb Music app and removed the Froyo app. This one doesn't have much at all in settings. Anyone else?

I suggest to get the stock Music app back, your will be surprised by the SRS WOWHD equalizer with a good earplug :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] stockwell:
Try experimenting with the values in /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg. I haven't tried modifying this as I don't have an issue but I'm sure it's what you're looking for. It only has values for wired headset and speaker though, so whether speaker is both earpiece and loudspeaker or just loudspeaker I don't know. Give it a go and post your results.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AliWam:
@stockwell

You are right.

You have to increase the value "wired_headset". I changed mine from 60 to 70 and now it works prefectly with my on-ear headset. A bit too loud at max though.

If you need assistance feel free to ask ;-)

Hi !

Do i need to root my phone to change the value to 65 or above?

I cant save the changes because the mapp is write protected:confused:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AliWam:
Hey,

I'm sorry for the late reply, quite busy these days.

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.

1. You need a rooted device (e.g. z4root), Busybox[1] installed and a text editor (e.g. Text Editor from Market).

2. Open /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg in the text editor, replace the value(s) as you like and save it as a new file e.g. /mnt/sdcard/myVol.cfg. The file might look like this:

speaker=80
wired_headset=70

3. Remount the related partition writeable:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

4. Copy your new file and replace the old system file:

cp /mnt/sdcard/myVol.cfg /system/etc/hwVolumeFactor.cfg

5. Reboot your phone and then the new values should be applied.

------

[1]I'm not sure if you really need Busybox installed for these steps.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Piron:
no sdk

To change the volume without the SDK (not use console command).

- install on your computer AndroidCommander

- in the phone menu choose the "applications / developer / debugging usb"

- connect phone to a PC

- run AndroidCommander on your computer.

- find / system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg in AndroidCommander (right panel is a telephone system files)

- copy the file "VolumeFactor.cfg" to your computer and change values

- in the left window AndroidCommander find the edited file and move (copy) to "/ system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg" on the window phone.

- disconnect the phone and restart

In this way you can change other files, but be careful :).
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ektorgre:
Guys, i try all this even tho my phone is rooted when i paste my new file says its read only and when i try at android commander it says not rooted even tho it is i checked with root checker !!

any ideas ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] GolfCranK:
I had no success changing the values in the file / system / etc / hwVolumeFactor.cfg using "es explorer" so upon advice in another thread I bought Root Explorer in the Market and it works. Once you are in the etc folder press the Mount R/W button and then you can edit the .cfg file by longpressing on it. It will auto create a backup. I increased my values to 99 and 70.

I also found from a poster here that the stock music player has an equalizer that you only see once you select a track to play. The default setting is very quiet but the SRS WOWHD is much better. Happy listening :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Alexcxvtr:
Sorry for my silliness in advance guys. I can't make Android Commander work. It says "device not found". Have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure you have debugging enabled on the phone:

Go to settings > applications > development

Then enable USB debugging.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Alexcxvtr:
Thanks for the quick response. I do have usb debugging enabled. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong whatsoever. Any other ideas?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franz24:
What happened:

I've got a rooted HTC Desire with Cyanogenmod 7, and a few days ago I got a notification "Update availble, CyanogenMod-7.0.2-Desire"

I pressed the 'install' button and my phone automatically installed the update (first did a nandroid backup, nothing more).

After the installation process my phone restarted, and it seemed like the update had succeeded.

Only, I was shocked when I saw that all my apps had disappeared, and when I tried to go to my sdcard it said I didn't have any sd card.

What I've tried:

Connecting the phone to my pc, nothing happens when I do that (I can't open any new drives anymore)

Inserting another SD-card, I've tried many (working) sd cards, but my phone wouldn't recognise them

Using a card reader to connect the sd card to my pc, it worked and I could backup all the files on the card

Formatting the sd card, didn't help

Re-partitioning the sd card, also no effect

Turning of the usb-debug mode, no change either

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Panzermeister:
Maybe this has come up earlier, but I cannot find much about it.

It's on the news more and more lately, Google and Apple having access to everything we talk about daily, mail about, IM about, where we are, where we took our pictures, etc.

All through our smartphones.

I personally really don't like this idea. I really care a lot about my privacy.

Besides that I still love my Milestone and would really like to keep using it.

So now my question is, are there any Android roms that focus on privacy, disabling all these trackers and tracers, syncs and whatever? I just want a phone that I can use to browse the internet, call and SMS, nothing more. I know providers also have the ability to track phones through their network, but you can't do much about that I think?

Regards,

Panzermeister
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] phlppk:
provider

you cant do anything about providers tracking you. (but afaik providers arent allowed to go shopping with your location data)

google

when you first enable your phone you can choose if google is allowed to save your location - i dont know where to disable this afterwards (im currently in between mods and my phone is not usable) -- and of course dont use latitude ect.

3rd party apps

as far as 3rd party apps are using your data - you're on your own - keep an eye on the permissions of the apps you install. there are a lot of apps that can access your location!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] UCFJake:
I haven't cared since I read att won't be switching off aws too soon and they would grandfather in all T-Mobile plans. Also not even sure I'd stay with att if the merger does happen anyway. Depends on too much and this phone is too amazing to return now. Super satisfied with my purchase.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
best news ive heard all week

i know for those that wanted to use this phone on att it sucks. but for me i signed a 2 year contract based on this phone. if and when the att merger goes through. they will have to offer you out of your contract or supply you with a new phone. and since id cut off my right foot before id use att ever again, i think this is great news. I think it will be 18-24 months before you see any changes even if it goes through anyways, so i think the only problem here is if you wanted to use this phone on att. which i think was not wanted by tmobile, they want you to come to tmobile thats why they offer this phone.--only prob was advertising it did have those bands. but it did get straightened out in the return time. If anyone paid an early term fee and paid full price for this phone to work on att-tmobile better make it financially right or they will have some problems, im betting they will.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
You know I still have a hard time believing this. I can't see how it passed the FCC with such false advertising and because the were spitting it out so much. I just have a sneaky suspicion that we'll see a radio that has the AT&T bands. That quote was probably just from some Customer Service rep reading off a script.

Why would TMOBILE say, "Yea it supports other carriers"? It would be in there best interest to say you have to use it on our network.

I think the phone is a Quad Band and could support it if the radio was opened up. The only time I'll believe it is when I hear it from some of the devs here on XDA.

But really what does it matter? Most phones don't support both bands. I hear people saying, I'm just going to buy the Sensation... well that isn't going to be quad band either (unless I'm missing something).

What is the point of the FCC if they don't check these things? The FCC is supposed to make sure that the product being offered works as intended and advertised. I mean there are just too many things pointing out that the device IS CAPABLE of the receiving the different frequencies.

Tmobile probably just blocked the frequencies in the radio and are saying this just to shut people up.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Wait, how is it not a "true high end global HSPA device" ? It's quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 for 2G/GPRS and UMTS/HSPA+ bands I (2100) and IV (1700).

So it will work pretty much everywhere in the world (just no HSPA+ on AT&T network).

So what phone will you get that is a "true high end global HSPA device" ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pychobj2001:
It is not confirmed....ha, lg made this phone, until they release a statement that they never put the bands in the phone, or never plan to enable then in future baseband updates, nothing is official yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
This is really something.

A poster elsewhere on XDA had gotten a written statement from TMo that it had those bands (followed by legal gobbledygook terms & conditions stating that they reserved the right to make or not make them available.

Now. their statement saying "opps" they goofed. I will give this another day or two to get sorted out (traveling all day tomorrow). I will then decide whether to return it and wait for their next two-core phone (which is supposed to come with 2.4 on it - if you can believe TMo anymore).

I am on a rooted CM7 OC MT4G - not a bad place to wait for a later release. If I miss their 20 day return window - will raise hell - as I had relied on their written representations that the G2x had the AT&T data bands.

Footnote - I am still confused as to why they show up in the "hidden menu".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I'm going to use the phone until the Sensation comes out. I have a print out of the spec sheet off of tmobile.com showing it's supposed to be a quad-band phone. I'll call tech support and tell them I'm having trouble connecting to the 1900 band. They'll tell me I can't. I'll forward them the spec sheet showing I bought a quad-band phone based on their representations. Voila... new phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krabman:
Bummer if it ends up being true. Got official word on the diamond some years ago that it had no physical bands and 6 months later a version with those bands came out and a few weeks after that it was enabled on all the phones that supposedly didnt have them but did thanks to the smart people here. At any rate this one is off the list for now. Leaves an aT&T user without anything to look at that isnt locked down or just plain sucks for the moment. :(

This very simple application will automatically launch music (Android default music player or Cubed) when a given bluetooth device connects.

The application will let you choose between the bluetooth devices paired to your phone which ones should operate.

You will also have the possibility to launch for example your GPS software when you get in your car.

My car is equipped with Bluetooth and the car connects to the phone automatically each time I start the engine, Android Car Home and HTC Car Panel can start automatically but I would like an application that could launch a specific application when a Bluetooth connection is established. For example, when my car connects to my phone the app would unlock the screen and run Co-Pilot live (if it could enable/disable GPS on connect/disconnect that would be even better).
