What u r talking about is done after rooting. If you have a s-off IS then u can definitely do it. Else get a xtc clip if you have a s-on.
[HTC Incredible S] Nxtgates:
Hey I'm new here and just bought my Incredible S. Can someone please explain what S-on or S-off means?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I have written a fairly extensive explanation, check the dev forum in the stickied rooting thread
[HTC Incredible S] RBThompsonV:
OR.. we could just tell him, it's the security flag in the radio that has so far stopped us from soft-rooting the IS... So, the XTC Clip turns the S switch OFF, so that it CAN be rooted...
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
And... That's why I said to go read what I posted in the dev forum, because what you have just posted is wrong. I am trying to stop misinformation being spread, I suggest you read it as well.

Getting S-OFF is NOT the same as getting root, root access has already been achived a long time ago.
[HTC Incredible S] henrylife:
You can use this one too, it makes little battery icon to taskbar and shows percentage :)

[HTC Incredible S] broman.m:
I am also interessted in this, a way to remove stock battery indicator in taskbar, and have one with percentage instead NOT a dual indicator as so many applications give. :( I'm searching and searching but come up empty all the time.
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
you could just get widgetsoid which is a button that takes you to battery stats along with the current %age of battery.

it is a widget though, personally i dont like having having % in notifications as it takes up too much space so this works well for me.
[HTC Incredible S] devator22:
This is achieved through a theme. You will have to find someone who will make a theme that changes nothing but the battery icon if you want to stay stock. Or checkout themes/ROMs that are already done if you don't mind a new look. Third option is to learn how to theme and do it yourself. Changing the battery icon is not difficult.
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Number indicate percentage is too small. Bar is easier to see. At glance we can see our battery is half

(50%) about :)
[HTC Incredible S] x1123:
Make it as your first hello world ... LOL
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
Not sure if am understanding this right..

You are looking for an app to display the battery percentage in the notification bar?

there are a couple of apps which do this & without root as well.

one of them is BATTERY GAUGE - displays in a rectangular black box kinda shape.

The other is an app available for download here, its called CIRCULAR BATTERY INDICATOR - displays in circular shape with changing colors for different levels.

am quite fond of both of them actually :)

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alohasurf0007:
I just updated from stock froyo to Community Rom 1.2. With stock the SMS app icon had a count of unread messages (on app icon, not notification bar). With 1.2 this is gone. Is there an app or something so I can get this feature back? I liked it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alohasurf0007:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I have only ever seen it say 2g or 4g. I don't have the best coverage so I didn't think much of it, but a friend I'm Chicago is reporting the same issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
Same here. TMobile has to figure this out. My brother's G2 goes from 3G to H.

Mine goes from 2G to 4G.

Make it a standard as to what shows up on the screen. My understanding it even when it says 4G, you may be in 3G. Only way to know is go into network settings or run a speed test.

Kind of stupid in my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Yeah, it's not a big deal really, just annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] saxon9021:
the exact reason given to me by tmobile is that our phones only register gsm(2g) and wdcma(3G and 4G both fall under this on tmobile) so without really checking at anytime 4g could be 3g its fast either way but annoying none the less
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Same here...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
So the phone just doesn't ever display 3g? When I'm on the 3g network it will show 4g? Sounds a little bit like false advertising to me. I really don't care too much, but if I am getting less than 1mb down and the phone claims to be on 4g it's kinda bs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypersonicx:
From what I understand, if you go to Settings > About Phone > Status > Mobile Network Type.

If it says UMTS, then your on 3G

If it says HSDPA or HSPA or HSPA+ then your on 4G.

I could be wrong, when Im out and about driving, I can run a speed test and hit 10-12 Mbps and the settings will still read as UMTS even though that appears to be 4G speeds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypersonicx:
Thats exactly what im going through now. My phone right now for example shows "4G" in the status bar, but Settings/About Phone shows "UMTS" doing a speed test right now, my speeds are Download-0.53 Mbps Upload 0.41

I agree this is BS.

Tried calling TMobile to explain how the coverage map for my area says 100% complete 4G coverage but my speeds are slow as ****. Tried complaining so I can get out my contract and go to Sprint but they say as long as voice calling works slow data speeds dont permit to break contract.

But TMobile and there whole 4G compain definetly is false advertising.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] saxon9021:
ive gotten 3 or 4 different answers from various reps at tmobile but there all terrible i get fast enough service all around me even edge runs well enough but i wish they would show 3g when its 3g they act like they have amazing 4g coverage but all the new 4g phones do this at least i know the sidekick 4g does and correct me if im wrong but the g2 does as well its just a marketing scam
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eastonroc:
Hey i work for t-mobile and have the G2x. I hosted an event for the launch of the phone and had my LG rep there. She explained that LG actually forgot to put the 3G indicator on the phone. LG is supposed to be putting out a software update for that as well as the terrible battery life on their website very soon. Lets keep our fingers crossed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Ummmmm oops....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
Helluva thing to forget. If it's true.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
I hope they do!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] javolin13:
Personally, I think they need to do with the G2x like they did with the ipad... stop all manufacturing of the item, until all ends and malfunctions are corrected.

including software & hardware. They're just sending stuff out, and in the end sticking it to the consumer by giving them less than quality standard work for the same amount of money they would expect to receive for something put together and functioning "correctly"

(p.s. before i get the "apple made the ipad" bull, LG created the screens, hence the same "bleeding" "light leaks" in the new ipad 2, also Samsung took over when they halted the production of LG screens)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hypersonicx:
Well this is a lie they didnt forget anything LOL.

Look at the G2 for example which is made by HTC. It will show 2G/E or H. You will never see 3G symbol on the G2. Unless you install one of those custom roms where then the dev make the phone switch between H and 4G / 3G depending on data traffic.

Well I had bad 4G speeds in my part of town for years I finally gave up on tmobile today. Sold my G2x on craigslist and picked up a Nexus S 4G with Sprint.

I now get atleast 10 Mbps on avarage now. Proof is in the signature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I think that might be going a little too far, but I haven't had too many major issues thus far. Just little annoying things that should be fixed with updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Product F(RED):
I have an Evo and on the stock Sense ROM, the phone will display 3G even on 1x (the CDMA equivalent of EDGE). If I hop to CyanogenMod or any Sense ROM ported from another HTC phone, it'll show 1x when I roam/send a text. Also Sense ROMs have like 6 signal bars.

It's all about what the carrier wants. Hell, they could make it say 4G all the time if they want. It's weird though that they show 2G and not 3G.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
You also won't get any indication that you're on hspa+, either. Just sayin', it goes both ways. You're losing something no matter what.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I have to put my two cents in on speeds.

I started (my smarty phone odyssey) on Metropcs in Feb....most speed test ever showed was like 1.6mbps...once. Mostly at 1.4-1.5. I was very unhappy with that. Between these speeds, battery issues, no support (from Samsung), I had enuff and went to Sprint. I saw around1.0 Mbps in the beginning. When I complained, they made an adjustment on their end amd it got worse! My average was .65 up and down. Then I went back to Metro. Seems they are suddenly having speed issues. Couldn't get more than about .80, with the same other issues as before. So I've purchased the G2x.

Got two yesterday!!

Both have bleed. Doesn't bother me as it is though. Just noticeable when screen is black. It IS bs, but not a dealbreaker, if it doesn't get worse.

I see people talking about speeds of 8 and 9Mbps and I say I'd be happy with a third of that.

Personally I don't think speedtest is accurate. But I never see that discussed.

T Mobile is supposed to activate these tomorrow. I'll post my speeds. If I get anything above 4.0, I'll be in heaven.

I have looked at youtube videos via wifi and am in awe of this device. Really smooth playback. Wow. Better than the Indulge AND the Evo IMO.

My new phone is supposed to activate tommorow. Can't wait

Oh and I'm in the Dallas market. I'm on top of DFW airport. Dallas is Metros home market so system is overall good here, but I'm in a bit of a dip so reception can be an issue in my home.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Product F(RED):
Sprint's been having nationwide issues for like the last 5 months. On 4G, I used to get 15 Mbps, now I get 1 Mbps. On 3G, I get 300 kbps tops. Their network is overcrowded, according to higherups I spoke to. They said it'll be fixed end of June. Not good enough.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
You are not understanding. It is the same network. Just depends if the towers in your area have been upgraded.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I understand just fine. I just think my phone should accurately display the speeds I should expect to see. If you start labeling 3g as 4g then the only way to accurately gage what my speed is at any given time is to run a speed test. I'd rather be able to look at my notification bar and know I had the speed to upload a video, rather than have to run a speed test first just to be sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Product F(RED):
There's an app called "Network Info II" that will tell you what type of network you're on. Or you could just install CyanogenMod <_<
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
Valid points. There are ways of checking as some have pointed out. Actually it is a pet peave of mine also. I wish there was a way to show it in the staus bar, but I have not found one that works with the stock rooted rom. You find a way and I would love to hear about it. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EmceeGeek:
Good news. Will be great if it actually happens with the GB OTA update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iamlilysdad:
I was under the impression that Android as an OS can't distinguish between UMTS, HSPA and HSPA+. I've never seen my phone display HSPA+ in about phone in the settings menu. Right now I'm getting HSPA+ speeds, the phone says 4G, but under about phone it says UMTS. So I'm thinking this is a limitation of Android, and not just this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
4g my ass. I just got .21mb dl with a full "4g" signal. Wouldn't let me post the screen shot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
may be a bad phone

I had my first G2x(very little bleed) this one unfortunaltey has quite a bit so will have to change it out again. anyway......

the first one showed 4g 5 bars here at my home. and i cgot .03mb or couldnt finish speedtest 3 seperate days so i returned the phone. coming from verizon i figured it was tmobiles network.

there is no land based internet here so i thought what the heck ill try the 4g hotspot maybe it has a better signal. and it hit 9-10megs down 3 up. as i looked at the map and loked around i saw the tower is actually 200 yards from me. so i figured that first phone must of been bad so i got another and sure enough 7megs down 2-3 up. so it appears along with the bleed, reboot issues their are also phones that have bad antennas or bad radios.

this is an awesome phone just have to find one that doesnt have 1 of these 3 major issues :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
How exactly does one go about 'forgetting' to put a feature on a device being released by an established company? It's like building a car and being so intrigued by the shiny paint that they forgot the gas tank. Hard to believe. I hope they drug test over there... haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oregondave:
I have never seen a 3g symbol...and I don't think I've ever gotten 3g. I either get 4g, which means anywhere between 3.7M-~7M down and .5-1.5M up OR 2G which means about 100k down. With my HD2 I got between 400k-800k with 3g or 'H'. This is bull****. Edge is faster than this '2G' ****.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RangerJay:
The other day I actually saw 3G on my screen.

It only happened once for about ten minutes while sitting in a restaurant.

But since I'd already seen this thread about how the G2x supposedly can't even show 3G, I kept just starring at it to make sure.

So, yes, the G2x can indeed show 3G.

I have no explanation why it did that one time. But it was there.

I should have done a screen save.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
With all the haters of either TMO or G2X I wanted to start another kind of thread to ask the question of. Has it been long enough to for TMO to refresh their G2X's so I can walk into a store or amazon and get my G2X back. I loved the crap out of that phone and the only issue had was the bleed screen. How can one tell when was the manufacturing date?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I doubt it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
blast it all!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
Manufacture date is on the sticker on the box.

also no, I dont think so if screen bleed is your issue. I just got one yesterday, it has a little bleed (screen bleed was never a issue for me, I dont care). It has a 4/24 date on the sticker... So Id say wait a while longer...

as far as reboots. Ive never had one. I personally think its a app the cpu dont like or something. And look at almost any other phone forum. Theres always complaints about reboots. so meh..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
Is the sticker on the outside of the box so if I were to call TMO up and say whats the manufacturing date of your g2x's the rep could tell me?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
yes its a big sticker on the back with the date right at the bottom of it..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wondercoolguy:
Thank you for the info!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] brianbrain:
I can assure you that the reboot/lockup issue is real and not due to a specific app. I was getting these before I installed a single thing. In fact, the reboot issue has been confirmed by LG themselves, so I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly.

The screen bleed, on the other hand, I fully agree. My unit has screen bleed, but it's really not a big deal. I never see it during regular usage (and it's worse than many others I've seen on here).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ashman3000:
I am having screen bleed in two corners, but honestly it doesn't bother me. nearly a week since I bought this phone, not even one reboot.this phone is rock solid and super fast.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
My 14 days are up tomorrow... and I'm keeping my G2x.

I have light bleed on the top two corners and a little along the right side. It is noticeable but what the heck, nothing is perfect. I think coming from a Nexus One with it's inky blacks spoiled me a little, though I must say I would not put up with this level of bleed (clouding as it's called) on a new TV.

The rest of my experience has been trouble free, no reboots or any other issues. Wifi calling works great, the phone is fast as hell and the feel in hand is rock solid. Give this phone a top tier screen and it's the best phone ever made fer sure.

Oh, and I've never had any problems with T-Mobile service, either in Denver on my WinMo Wing or in the Seattle area on a series of Android devices. I'm actually kind of a T-Mo fanboy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
I've got an RMA coming from Tmo customer service arriving either today or tomorrow for a screen bleeder.

I'm going to open it, pop in battery and sim and check out the bleed.

If it's only slightly or not better at all, I'm keeping my original.

Like others have said, I only see it in the dark with a black screen...not really a big deal in the whole scheme of things.

Other than that, the unit I currently have is working flawlessly...and battery life is superb for me.

Hi

I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to configure these on my HTC Legend (using stock Rom).

Kindly guide me how to configure my Legend to use internet through proxy

And how can I join a domain to access my folders on the network and use internet?

Any help will be highly appreciated
[General Questions and Answers] smart2smart:
Use a Proxy program

I am assuming you are on a windows domain. I suggest you download a program called Proxy Droid from the marketplace and setup the details on it. the reason being that windows domain requires NTLM authentication that very few program provide.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chicago T:
I've seen about 20 posts on how to root my Mytouch 4G, but I still can't do it! When I try and run SU, I get errors. However, I've managed to S=OFF, which I can't even imagine how. Here's what my boot screen is showing:

HBoot-0.85.2007 (PD1510000)

Microp-0429

Radio-26.03.02.26_M

OCT 11 2010, xx:xx:xx​

There seems to be a few different set of instructions, but none seem to be working. I've tried the VISIONary way, as well as the other methods.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
:confused:

if you are s=off with the .85 engineering screen all you need to do is download VISIONary.apk

Temp root

perma root.

done.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chicago T:
Thanks N, but I can't seem to get that to work. I have Visionary r14. Also, when I reboot, at the loader screen, I started seeing some "pxxxx.zip" files getting errors, such as "wrong image". Not sure what I need to do...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
I have the same screen as you with the eng bootloader.

When I do volume down + pwr I also get the boot screen and goes through a pd15img wrong image yada yada.... I thought that was normal????

However I have s off and su works for me in terminal.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
The root methods follow this pattern:

1. Temproot with VISIONary

2. Run a script to get S-OFF (I recommend gfree for this)

3. Permroot with VISIONary

You have the Engineering bootloader (HBoot-0.85.2007), so I assume you used the root.sh script. Did you attempt permroot with VISIONary afterwards? That should be all you have to do (make sure to uncheck temproot on boot when you do).

Ignore that stuff about PD15IMG, that's normal. The bootloader is looking for a file on your sd card named PD15IMG.zip and isn't finding it. That zip file (which you can find on these forums) is used to revert back to stock.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3s-rt:
If you have s-off all you have to do is temproot again, flash clockwork recovery, and flash away. My phone did same thing, once you get a recovery you're good to go.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
what neidlinger said. plus,

"You have the Engineering bootloader (HBoot-0.85.2007), so I assume you used the root.sh script."

the main gree thread also has a bootloader part which is what i used - he could have done that too, which is diff than root.sh. i think we dont really know how he got to where he is.

chicago- what i learned when i rooted is that gfree or your method just turns s=off. that's not rooting, it's just removing radio security so that you can then root- you still like neidlinger said have to then run visionary+ to do it again.

you run it once to let gfree or root.sh work, then you run it again to actually gain root. the only thing is that i would download visionary+ 11, as many instances have shown that 14 doesnt do the job on some phones. 11 is older, but seem to work more often. uninstall 14 and install 11.

just run it, make sure "set to rw" is checked, nothing else checked. make sure usb debugging is checked on your phone. than reboot again after running visionary, you should be ok. my 1st time i ran it, it hung. then i removed the battery, and in terminal i couldnt get su. i ran visionary+ 11 again, with the settings described, then rebooted, and boom, i was su.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unclespoon:
Also make sure you don't have a PDIMG15.zip or whatever it's called on the root of your sdcard or that'll keep effing up with bootloader. And make sure "temproot on boot" isn't checked cause that kept screwing up my roots too. Following jdkoren's instructions should get the job done for you. Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acsi007:
yeah i forgot to also say the i get that looking for pdming whatnot when i boot into hboot, but i thought that was normal - looks like it always checks for a zip file it needs to restore stock, and when it doesnt find it on the SD root, it assumes you dont want to, or need to restore your phone, which is good.... one day when you need to restore, you could put that file on your sd card, reboot, and boom, it'll pick it up.

so, it's normal it seems.
