[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davux:
It's possible to do this today, nobody has yet. I was trying to find something open source in either C# or for WinCE/WM that I could port, but never came up with something meaningful.

I'm not entirely sure whether we can connect to ad-hoc wireless networks though. I suspect it could be done over USB either way.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyruss89:
What do you mean with "I'm not entirely sure whether we can connect to ad-hoc wireless networks though"? I want my PC to connect to a WiFi network, not my phone.

I can already tether via USB, because I have a LG Optimus 7, thx MFG Menu ;-). Coming from a Palm Pre that's not what I want.

I'd love to help, but unfortunaly I can't code at all :-(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
@Cyruss89:

What davux meant was that you have to get your phone and your laptop on the same WiFi network, and generally that means using an Ad-Hoc network. Since the phone currently can't do Ad-Hoc (so far as we know), that's one problem in the way.

An alternative approach would be to have the phone act as a WiFi Access Point (broadcast an Infrastructure network). This is possible on the PC with some tweaking, but requires OS support, unless the OS exposes the capability directly to the user. An intermediate option might be to write a native app that can tell the driver to enter this state, if it even knows how (and if there is a usable API for doing so).

Anyhow, once you've got some way for the phone and PC to talk over WiFi, there's a few more things that are needed. An app like this isn't going to work with simply turnign the phone into a USB modem (which is what the current tethering apps do). The phone will stay connected to the network itself, but it'll need to basically re-implement something like Internet Connection Sharing in Windows. This means:

* DHCP server, so the PC can get an IP address.

* DNS forwarding, so the PC can resolve domain names to IP addresses.

* Network Address Translation, so that the phone knows what packets it needs to send to the PC(s) and on what ports.

Now, the code for all of this exists, and is even available in reasonably portable open-source C (BSD can do everything we need). Getting it to work on the phone isn't going to be trivial, though. For example, it requires the ability to open a low-level type of network socket that isn't going to be available in Mango. It also will require some work to port to WinCE, unless somebody has CE code for this already.

For now, I'll keep doing what I've been doing: tether my phone to my laptop, and use the laptop's Internet Connection Sharing and WiFi to share with other machines, if necessary.

don't know if you know this but i'll post it anyway

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
@keanu20:

USB tethering is already possible on *all* WP7 phones. It also has absolutely nothing to do with this thread, which is about WiFi hotspot capability (similar in purpose but more useful and completely different in implementation).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyruss89:
Thanks a lot for this post GoodDayToDie! Basically this means I have to hope that MS or Nokia implement the functionality by themselves.

Hope dies last.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walshieau:
So this won't be in Mango.

The reason HTC were able to do it was that they included a new WiFi driver in their HTC 1.29 Firmware update for their devices. Which is being pushed out by MSFT now.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] la121mo:
hello every one.

at first sorry for my poor English.

my phone got a problem that I couldn't use volume (-) button.

I have changed ROM two or three time. but didn't solve my problem.

In recovery mod all the keys works fine except this one.

when I shutdown my phone(not hibernate) after a time I turn it on it goes to boot-loader.

ROM boot on safe mod.

in software part of phone(ROM, boot-loader,recovery) the button doesn't work.

So The problem is related to what؟

thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
Hi la121mo

As far as I understand, you're trying to say that in every event you try the volume down button, it doesn't work right?

I guess is nothing to do with any software configuration but your hardware device. If this is true, it is advised to send back your phone to HTC to exercise your warranty.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] la121mo:
hi.

yes that is true.

but

when i turn phone on it goes to boot-loader.

doesn't boot normally.and in boot-loader button doesn't work just like for beauty.

or if it can pass it and boot ROM it would be boot in safe mod

its like i press and hold volume button.and in Rom is same as in boot-loader.

this is make me confused.

is it possible for CPU damage?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superstick1:
I am not sure what is wrong then. But I guess it shouldn't be due to the faulty CPU. If CPU is faulty, you will most of the time find your phone is real hot. Yes, as in the hot heat. If unlucky, it will not allow to on your device at all. It shouldn't cause any malfunctions in buttons as far as I understand.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mohammedmazher:
Hi

I have a HTC HD2

and i installed andriod nand rom on it with the following things

HSPL 2.08

Radio 2.15.50.14

MAGLDR 1.12

i installed almost 10 andriod roms and find the same problem

after making or receiving a call screen goes into black screen and hangs up. i have to reboot the device by removing the battery. i would appreciate if any one can provide me the solution to fix this problem as i love andriod roms.

thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zach.antre:
I am facing this only when battery is bellow 15%. If this is the case then just charge it before it goes to 15%.

If that's not the case then you can try installl MAGLDR v1.3

Do you have this issue in Froyo or Gingerbread ROMs? or in both? What version of CWM are you using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] decayed.cell:
I have the same problem on MIUI since after approximately 1.3.18 (cutover from Froyo to Gingerbread). Also have this problem on CME DHD2 Compact.

It is also an issue if someone tries to call me.

Sometimes, if I try waking the phone from sleep (power button) and it hits the black screen, and I wait long enough, it will wake. But again, the only real fix I know is pulling the battery.

I am running MAGLDR 1.13

Also, another fix that works sometimes is plugging in the phone into a power source e.g. laptop USB port
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hbock2:
It's something about light sensor, when you put your screen into a strong light it would be turn "unblack" again. I don't know how to fix it, is this a problem with this hardware because it's broken or my version of LEO doesn't support NAND full functionaly.

Begging for answer!

:)

i know about my poor english
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nontryer:
I have this problem too.. running latest Hyperdroid rom by pongster (magdlr version) and it's driving me crazy. Sometimes phone wakes up normally after a call like it shoud, sometimes is stuck with black screen for few minutes, hours even (although i can't wait that long so i pull out battery)..

Back on WinMo everything worked normally, so it's not an hardware issue with proximity/light/whatever sensors

Is there any fix out yet? I googled and searched this forum a lot and haven't found nothing much helpful, ony a couple of threads with bunch of people with same problem like me. An option for disableing those sensors would be just as good, i've tried few apps for keeping the screen awake and none of them actually worked..

Any help is appreciated.. thanks in advance.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nontryer:
Bump!

Anyone? :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phnuxen:
I have the same issue - running Gingerbread, MAGLDR 1.13

Very annoying cause everything else works super.

Temporary solution i use is to use headset / handsfree. Then there is no problem.

So experts on XDA, we are begging for a fix for this!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MarkLuk:
I have the same issue since first Android roms and never found a real solution for the problem.

Instead i found a bypass that works for me reasonably well (99% of the cases the screen turns on after a call).

I installed the following 2 applications that wakes up my screen after the call (install then enable each one):

1. Screebl - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keyes.screebl.lite

2. Modified version of SpeakerShake - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=449922&d=1290758421

I suspect this issue is somehow related to hardware failure in light sensor. Installing these programs solve this problem for me.

Also take a look on the following thread:

I have had the same thing happen to me but only around 2 or 3 times in a about 3 months of usage. Had it on both CM7 and MIUI Gingerbread ROMs regardless of battery percentage.

MAGLDR 1.13
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
Some users experience this using SetCPU

if you have a profile for screenoff and it's set to the lowest frequency, try to set the frequency to something above 500 MHz.

If you have smartass set as governor, then even setting the frequency to it's highest (without OC) during screenoff wouldn't change anything in battery performance, but the device will wake up faster.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] phnuxen:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anthonydo1991:
hey guys! i found the solution goin through the market!

download an app called "Sanity" theres a free version in the regular android market.

go to the settings > general > check "Reverse Proximity" (This will give you some warning about not using it if you DONT have a buggy proximity sensor). Check it anyways. Then go back to preferences then click "Proximity" scroll down and uncheck Turn off screen and leave leave the Turn on screen checked. this will force your phone to stay on during calls so that it never has to go through the proximity phase of calls this no more black screens. Hope this was helpful ^_^
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] papaganz:
Thanks!

I had this problem aswell. MIUI & Cyanogen mod were the ROMs I was using, and this problem started occuring after a few months use (my screen is also damaged from a fall, so maybe the sensors are a little damaged as well).

When I installed the WinMo 6.5 stock ROM again, everything was normal, except that my screen still turns black during calls BUT I can activate it again by pressing the power button.

Now I installed android again and the Screebl app (enabled it) and I have the same functionality! The only problem that remains is that my screen still turns black during calls, so I have to answer with the phone button and putt down phone with the power button. Still beats having to remove the battery though :).

If someone has a fix for the black screen, it would be more than welcome!

But, thanks a million for the Screebl app tip! I can use my phone again :).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] luba6ky:
I also try with WinMobile and the problem was still there ...

Solution

I had the same problem with Android roms on my HD2. I saw in an other thread a member (z-o-r-r-o-, thanks btw) wrote "just clean dust on the screen, where sensor is situated". This looked like a joke to me, but it's not. On a review of the phone I found the place of the proximity sensor. This is on the top of your screen next to the speaker, on the left if you look at the screen. I just took off the protection layer of the screen and cleand the sensor and the problem was solved. So I cut of a bit from the protection layer so that the sensors arn't touched by anything.

I think the problem is that this sensor is much more sensitive with android roms.

Hope this works for you to.

I also think it's ROM-related. I now switched from MIUI NDT(from langthang) to Hyperdroid and I don't get the blackout anymore :)!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] empy16:
Try moving (by moving it, I meant rather touching, don't force anything!) the battery after the call. Worked for me. If it works, that means it's the contact, and you'll have to put a paper between the wall and the battery to push the battery to the contacts. Makes sense?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rob316:
Problem may also be caused by screen protector over the sensor to left of

speaker at top of phone. Had problem when protector was slighlty lifted away

from screen area covering the sensor. Removed protector and worked fine. Going to put another protector on and make sure no air bubble between screen and protector in sensor region.

proximity always shows 0.5 mA and 3.5 inch

BUT if I expose it with a flashlight proximity shows 0.0 inch then

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:
I just wanted to give you guys who aren't proficient with modding themselves a chance to change the lockscreen and taskbar clock font (which I personally don't like) to in this case match the rest of the honeycomb fonts.

The end result of this quick guide:

First you will need to have adb set up, if you don't know how to set up adb follow the guide http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ to get adb up and running.

Requirements:

adb

Asus PC Sync Software link

USB Debugging turned on in settings

a .ttf font file (only required if you want another font than used in the guide)

Step one: pulling the original clock files for back up

We'll start simple, the idea here is that if you ever want to revert back to the original font, you will have a back up of the font just in case. Lucky for you I will however also be providing a back up of the original font files at the end of this post.

Open up cmd (or terminal on OSX).

navigate to your android-sdk\tools folder through the terminal (if you do not know how to do this check the adb set up guide linked earlier in this post).

Now to allow modification of the system files we will enter the command "adb remount".

Now we will pull the font files which are located within /system/fonts/ by entering these 3 commands: "adb pull /system/fonts/AndroidClock.ttf", "adb pull /system/fonts/AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf", "adb pull /system/fonts/AndroidClock_Solid.ttf"

On your computer go to the android-sdk/tools folder and move the AndroidClock, AndroidClock_Solid and AndroidClock_Highlight to wherever you want to store these (these are the original back up) and make sure to remove them from the android-sdk\tools folder.

--------------------------

Step two: replacing the original clock font with your own

In this step we will pull the font used for all the other type in honeycomb called DroidSans and replace the original clock font files with this font as to fool honeycomb into thinking it is actually the original font.

while having adb open, enter the command "adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf".

Now navigate to your android-sdk\tools folder again and make 3 copies of DroidSans.ttf in the tools folder.

Name one of the files AndroidClock, name another AndroidClock_Solid, and name the last AndroidClock_Highlight.

now go back to adb and enter these 3 commands: "adb push AndroidClock_Solid.ttf /system/fonts/", "adb push AndroidClock.ttf /system/fonts/", "adb push AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf /system/fonts/".

Reboot your transformer and voila you're done.

If you want to replace the lockscreen font with your own font and not DroidSans, simply skip bullet point 1 and 2 of step 2 and copy your own .ttf font file to your android-sdk\tools folder and make 3 copies of that.

I hope you guys enjoy this guide, and if you have any suggestions as how to simplify this guide even further, feel free to post your suggestion.

EDIT: the original font files are in the .zip file!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] N23:
Don't forget to remount /system as rw ("mount -o rw,remount /system") so you can modify the font files.

Very well written guide, just one question does the tablet need to be rooted to change fonts?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ksporry:
I assume that the clock font provided here is the same font as the other text on the home page?

The only question I have is, can I change the colour of the font as well? I'd like it to have the same colour as the buttons. It would also be interesting to change the colour of the wifi and battery indicator. Even better if that could change depending on the level! So for example, when battery and wifi are indicating low(er), they change to yellow/orange/red progressively. I guess this is possible but would require some additional programming to link to different graphics/icons (assuming the software utilises a lookup table approach, rather than logical equations...)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:
you'd have to edit the image files in the framework files, which is a whole lot more complicated than this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] JaiaV:
Anything that has to do with modifying the /system folder requires root, so yes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] twirtle2:
I was wondering does anyone get their clock on lockscreen cut off? I actually used my own font and noticed it after rebooting, so i retried again with the DroidSans in the guide and it still happens. Bugs me every time i see this haha. is there anyway to fix it?

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] seshmaru:

EDIT: also for me it doesn't show the zero if its a single digit time.

Yes indeed you can.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] hasselaar_nl:
Yes, I allso get cut off. I think it depends on the type of font... narrow ones get cut off.

Is there allready an solution?

Greetz.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bleached45:
I was getting the same thing happening on my phone (Froyo mind you, but I believe the same concept). It depends on the size and spacing of the font as far as I know, because I actually opened up a font and changed the sizing in it and got different results. Just try different fonts would be my advice.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Diablo67:
I use "Absolute System Root Tool" and it changes all the font,it has over 200 types of font to choose from,not trying to take away from your tut,which is very informative,its just easier for people like me that are illiterate when it comes to using tools like "ADB".
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] pielod:
Hi i was playing around with the fonts and i found out that if you change the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files and replace it with one of your own it changes all the system font. If this has already been pointed out then i am sorry i did not see :D
