[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simvision:
I am a new user of Android in China. I got my new ATT Atrix 4G last thursday. When I played it last Saturday, I met a problem. When I was trying to import the SIM contacts, I followed the following commands from the internet, I diled *#*#4636#*#*, then I choose "phone information". I happed to enter "Select radio band" and there is only one option, i.e. USA band. After I selected this, my sim card can not be registered. After I searched this issue in the internet, the solution is to update the baseband firmware.

So far, I searched the firmware in the xda-developers, I found all the firmware are system related. Where can I download the latest baseband firmware? How to flash it?

Can anyone helps? Thanks very a lot!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofjuzo:
Hi,

I have exactly the same problem, I've tried all the baseband and the rom I could find... and still have the same problem. Seems impossible to change the radio band...
[HD7 General] ardavahn:
The other day I went and bought a USB micro cable for my phone, which was different from the original one provided in my phone's package.

I never used it to charge my phone's battery until 2 days ago, which in the morning I attached the cable to my AC Adapter charger and started charging my battery, that charged in an hour or so. I got somehow surprised because of the speed but I thought maybe I got carried away by work.

The amazing thing is it's been 2.5 days from then and my phone still has something around 15% battery charge on it.

Did anyone here ever charge the phone with any cable other than the one shipped in the package ? Or maybe come accross something like this ? Is it going to ruin my battery ?
[HD7 General] Audio:
I had a similar situation a few months back when my battery was out of juice for about 4 or 5 hours (it ran out in the afternoon and i couldn't charge until much later on that night). After I charged it over night i got about 2 days out of mine too.
[HD7 General] XPLANE9:
Wp7 probably still lacks a consistent and accurate way of telling battery life, so the phone may show it is fully charged when it is not.
[HD7 General] sandrax2020:
Ones i charge the phone 100% i then browse my photos and broawse apps... and suddently my battery is half empty in under 2 hours time... its strange. because im not playing games with it.
[HD7 General] PoisonOmnia:
I can strech my batter put over 30 hours, but that with turning everything off, It would be interesting to know how you use it, and what you have installed and turned on or off.
[HD7 General] Shahab2500:
I have 2 or 3 days battery life when the phone is on airplane mode. But less than 1 day with regular usage.

the problem is Radio in my opinion.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Bloody good price for it SIM free: http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...d-Sim-Free-Unlocked-Mobile-Phone/Product.html
[LG Optimus 2x] hicks12:
yeah saw that, its a damn good price! Its slightly annoying as i just signed up a new contract for the following:

Orange network, 300mins/unlimited text/unlimited email/500MB data with LG optimus 2x for free and that is £17.50 p/m! which i guess isnt really bad at all.. sim only is around £15 or £20 for that tarrif and i get a top phone! :D.

Im hoping i love this phone(when it arrives) as much as my HTC HD2, LG Renior and the LG u8130!
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
EUR 412.49 for me. Still a dang good price, though! I paid almost 50 euro more.
[LG Optimus 2x] goatee:
That is outstanding value!
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
nice..even if I payed a little bit less :)
[LG Optimus 2x] diniket:
good! In Italy find low price with trovaprezzi.it ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] lozza69er:
That sure is a excellent price, I pre-ordered mine for £400 sim free. Should of waited for the price to drop first, but when I see something I want, I just have to get it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Me to had to have it £380 first few days of release
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Quilty:
I was wondering how easy it is to add a new USB mode to a Froyo or Honeycomb device.

I would be looking to add a mode which acts like a removable drive, but has the USB Vendor ID and Device IDs etc. that I assign.

Surely can't be that hard?!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ferrum Master:
Can anyone confirm that it is working? I have a customer complain, that this feature doesn't work... (settings are enabled). I've tested it on stock LT15 arc and my X10 with many roms, I seldom use SMS and hate them, so I didn't notice this problem.

I've goggled a bit for this issue, nothing fresh came out.

Any clues?

OK. I've found out partially what is the cause of my dumbness. It shows a marker in threaded view. (I thought it shows message passing to outbox as in email). Although I didn't these markers in HTC UI style Android phones. It seems I was to used up to the idea about report in a message format. In stock Andtroid you have to long press the message and press view report. Although on my Nitdroid UMAY Nokia N900i it didn't work :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebz4n:
Hello!

I was wondering, if anybody knew, if it's possible to flash the LeeDroid kernel onto a CoreDroid ROM?

And if it is, what features will it bring? (Batterylife, wi-fi signal, extra speaker output, extra OC?)
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
Has anyone seen this (Android) launcher before?

Thanks :)
[General Questions and Answers] nok3:
mm...it looks like android 3.0 from a tablet. But I don't now yet what kind of launcher it is.
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
It's supposed to be an Android 2.2 device and I highly doubt that launcher was developed exclusively for it:

[YOUTUBE]3CgfKVzRkRg[/YOUTUBE]
[General Questions and Answers] makcrellon:
Could it simply be a custom launcher from Asia which hasn't made it's way here?

I actually thought we had lots of choice already, apart from the manufacturers launcher, we've got Launcher Pro, Launcher EX, plus SPB 3D Shell which is pretty good.
[General Questions and Answers] Eller1987:
Looks like a custom launcher for a tablet whit 3.0 :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
I am slowly starting to believe that because I can't find any info about it anywhere. On the other hand it's REALLY unusal, usually they use a "well known" launcher, MAYBE use a slightly different theme but this thing looks like nothing I've seen before.
[General Questions and Answers] ColonelZap:
Could this be some sort of custom rom for the zPad?
[General Questions and Answers] iSiktir:
Yep... This one looks definitely like tablet :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] kevrae:
it is called 3d launcher and it isnt very good, cant edit quite allot of it, tried it from modaco a few months ago and went straight back to adw.

it's same like my tablet (opad p10 ), but i 'm using android 3.0 now , you can try the rom for vega
[General Questions and Answers] Choonsung:
Can I use it for Android 2.2

This launcher is very interesting.

My phone has Android 2.2. Thus do you know the launcher works on the version?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
My Breffo SpiderPodium arrived today. For those who don't know, it's a flexible 8-legged (hence the name) phone holder which I intended for use in the car. You can pick them up on Amazon or eBay for about £8 for the white or £12 for the black.

I wanted one for use in the car, and since I have a silicone skin for my SGS2 I knew a "proper" fitted mount wouldn't work.

I have to say, I'm quite impressed. It was very easy to bend the legs in such a way that they'd catch on the vent fins, and when the phone's in it's held pretty securely - there's no noticeable wobble or rattle, and I never feel worried that it will come loose. Most importantly it's nice and easy to get the phone in and out - I was worried that I'd have to wrap and unwrap the legs each and every time. Luckily with the leg configuration I've made it's easy enough to pop it in and out without disturbing them.

I think I'm going to pick up another one for use in the office and out and about . . . this one is definitely staying in the car!

[Galaxy S II Accessories] robbiekhan:
Looks nice but strange! Would out of place in most cars though!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
Yeah, it's unusual, but I think it has a certain charm ;)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] artesea:
Which seller did you use for the Black? Can only see whites on Amazon or eBay.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
I got mine from magic-toast-direct, but he seems to be out of stock :(

You can buy from Breffo themselves at http://www.breffo.com/buy.html (£17.74 including shipping)

Alternatively there's this seller or this seller selling black ones on eBay for £15.95 (search for spider podium with a space rather than all one word).

Can also find clickshop at £13.95, never used them before but a reasonable price . . . .
[Galaxy S II Accessories] artesea:
Ended up ordering the one from Amazon but for delivery to home, a mate did it at the same time but had it sent to work. Turned out it was the black version for him.

Bargain for £8.95
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ingvarr:
I've got this black one from Amazon for £8.95 and I am amazed with it - such a great idea! Its so easy to mold to any shape for any use you desire, its amazingly grippy and looks very cool - like some organic Giger-esque addition to your phone :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
For a black one, that's a steal!

A mate suggested getting a white one and seeing how well it would take paint or markers . . . :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ayrlupine:
Wanted one too badly and ordered a white one, I know black will look better, but white will do fine! Might provide a nice contrast ;D

I stupidly bought it off eBay in the heat of the moment, ended up paying £13 D:

It looks like it'll be useful though :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] artesea:
Here's mine (no photo with phone in as I was using the phone as the camera)

[Galaxy S II Accessories] NZtechfreak:
can any users tell me whether this is suitable for use as a tripod too?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be - it's rigid enough to not bend out of shape when the phone's held in it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ingvarr:
It is! Its actually one of the reasons I've bought one - easy to hook up on almost anything by adjusting the phone/surface arm distribution & shape :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] vitalij:
Is surfase of this holder soft like rubber or something? Will it scratch unprotected phone? Thanks for answers!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Ingvarr:
Its fairly thick grippy rubber shell. I don't think it could scratch the phone, because its not hard and it lacks any kind of sharp edges.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
It's soft-touch rubber, I can't see how it would scratch anything. Feels very similar to the back of the Desire if you ever held one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Pmol:
Is it fixed well enough to the ventilation not to fall when I drive on a bumpy road ? That's my main question about this kind of product :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] artesea:
Not really fixed well to the ventilation, more wedged through the gaps and gripped on to the dash. Had no problems driving from Lincoln to London and if you've seen the road around here we've not had any repairs since the bad winter.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
Mine is well solid - two of the top legs have got their "feet" (about 1cm) bent back almost 180 degrees to form two hooks - I pushed them through the vents past the vent edges, then pulled them back so they're hooked on. It'd be pretty firm with that, but then two of the bottom legs serve to push it up slightly.

If you're driving a jeep properly offroad then you *might* have a problem, but just for potholes and bumpy roads I'd be amazed if it came loose.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] patboole:
Found this thread last week while figuring out what sort of a stand to get. I basically wanted something versatile that I could use mainly to take HDR pictures [requires either a VERY steady hand, or a stand of some description]. I got mine last week and took a bunch of photos over the weekend.

Aside from the awkwardness of bending it into shape at the beginning, it works well enough for my amateur-ish purposes. Recommended if you can pick it up cheaply and just want something to mess around with.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ESdesigns:
Cycling?

Has anyone tried this while riding bike? I've seen videos on youtube and pictures on breffo's website. But I'd be interested to hear from someone who has personal experience using the spiderpodium while bicycling.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
I tried it once on a bike, briefly. It worked OK - I didn't put much effort into securing the phone well, and as a result it worked loose (this was offroad, on rough terrain). I'd imagine for road cycling it would be fine; for mtbing, you might need something a bit sturdier.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ESdesigns:
@DJGibbon Thanks for the info. My wife and I mostly do road cycling, but we encounter a fair amount of pot holes and bumps along the way. we do occasionally hit up the local rail trails as well. I'm just looking for something low profile that can adapt to multiple devices. I think I will give this a shot and let you all know what I think.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kackburt:
I've got a mine a few weeks ago and all I can say is that I really like it!

It works very good as a normal dock and as a car-mount, but unfortunately I wouldn't really recommend it for a bike...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ESdesigns:
Kackburt, do you think the larger spiderpodium for ipads/tablets would work well to secure a smartphone to a bicycle since it has longer legs?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] NoPompem:
Is it just a typical steal wire inside? How much does it distort after multiple bendings?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] EdelHD:
I gonna buy one of those for my car and maybe other opportunities. Which one would you suggest? Smartphone or tablet version? Color is obviously black ;-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
I'd say yes - it'd certainly give you more flexibility to wrap around several tims. I would still be slightly dubious about using anything that didn't have good quality screws or clips on an offroad bike, though.

AFAIK (I've not cut one apart :) ) it's just steel wire inside. Mine spends most of its time in the same position but my wife's gets twisted about a fair bit, and hers still works as it did when it was new.

Yeah, black almost always looks the best ;) If it's for nothing more strenuous than the car, the phone version will do you fine; if you need something really secure (like biking, as above) then you might want to consider the tablet version. Of course, if you have a tablet, then the tablet version probably be more useful ;)

Cycling

Well I decided to give it a try. I ended up just getting the regular (non-tablet) version. Came on Friday last week and I've used it everyday since on my Scott Sportster bicycle for 8-10 mile rides around home. I was a little nervous the first time using it, constantly looking down to make sure it wasn't coming loose. It's never come loose at all, it's been working great. I would maybe go for the larger tablet version in the future because it would provide more options as far as mounting location on the bike and even more security. I haven't tried it on the rail trails yet, but I have a feeling it will hold up just fine there too.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] DJGibbon:
Cool, great news! Thanks for giving it a go :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] m0rtiis:

Too bad I can't use my new Zenis dock with the Taurus case. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] fenguinpower:

[Galaxy S II Accessories] m0rtiis:

Just ordered 2 pieces of Breffo Spiders. :) I'll write a review once I get them.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pbrown77:
Good to see some pics of a SGS2 installed..

One question though.

I plan on mounting mine in portrait orientation with the micro usb port located over the hole in the cradle and use a bracket to fix the chargers connector mounted through the hole. Well it will actually be a microusb connector modified to charge and provide audio line out that goes into my car stereo so will go into car dock mode once inserted..

Basically having it like a car docking station where you can slide the phone down into cradle and the charger is connected without having to manually connect the charger... Just with more versatility.

And then have two of the top legs bent to hang over a ledge/storage area on the dash or on a vent.

I'm thinking it may be possible, but just not certain the legs being long enough to hold the phone vertically when the hole in the cradle is over the bottom of the phone. I have already ordered so will find out in a few days I suppose but curiosity has got the better of me.

Edit: I would prefer landscape orientation but with the hole mounted over the usb connection of the phone I doubt the other arms will be able to stop the phone sliding out sideways unless wrapped over the screen

[Desire General] LinuksGuru:
Hi, Android folks !

I just bought HTC Desire (seems like branded/locked by our local operator), rooted with Unrevoked, formatted 32GB SD card 1GB Ext3 + FAT (on SuSE Linux), and installed RC Mix S V1.4 (RCMixS_v1.4_A2SD+_BravoHboot).

System is very fast and stable, however, I have two major issues which render this phone almost unusable.

1) WiFi is not able to connect to any router, even located few meters next to me. Looks like WiFi doesn't work at all. I installed Blade WiFi Fixer, it didn't helped. Another "Fixer" also did nothing.

2) Battery drain is enormously HUGE. Quite interesting - during idle time battery drain is on acceptable level. For example, during night battery level dropped 10%. However, calling wipes out battery almost instantly. Just several phone calls (may be 15 - 20 min total) dropped battery level from 97% to 30%!

3) Ad-hoc network are not visible at all. Is this trick will make them work?

/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

WiFiAdhoc = 1

dot11DesiredSSID = HTCG1Default

dot11DesiredBSSType = 0

Before installing RCMix 1.4, I did factory reset, wiped out cache partition and Dalvik cache. I did not made GoldCard, however, and from the posts seen on this forum looks like it is not necessary.

PS. Before RCMix, I tried LeeDroiD 3.06. In spite of flashing zipalign first (before flashing LeeDroiD ROM), it bricked my phone - nothing happened beyond HTC screen.

Anyone can suggest me what to do next?
[Desire General] Meaple:
Well firstly, RCMix S is Sense and Sense is a battery drain. Secondly, change the wifi channel to auto on your router.
[Desire General] Cactus42:
Firstly Sense is NOT a battery drain. I've lost 6% on idle in the last 8 hours on RCMix 1.5. That's on par with what I was getting with Oxygen.

Can you post what radio you have, as Gingerbread based ROM's seem to prefer the latest two, I believe they are optimised/tweaked to work better (most recent being 5.17.05.23)
[Desire General] LinuksGuru:
Thanks for suggestion, Cactus42 !

I have Baseband 32.49.0032U_5.11.05.27

Kernel 2.6.35.10-g308ba26

Do you suggest to download the (32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17) one from?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=687464
[Desire General] LinuksGuru:
It was set so from the beginning.
[Desire General] LinuksGuru:
I have upgraded to baseband radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23 as Cactus42 suggested.

There definitely one big improvement - I'm was able to connect to our WiFi (it wasn't possible at all before upgrade).

Unfortunately, one big issue remaining - connection to WiFi isn't stable, it dropping for no apparent reason in spite of very good signal level (iPhone works with the same WiFi without any problems at much larger distance). In Android settings WiFi sleep is set to 15 min.

Another problem - HTC launcher always crashes at startup, and after some time re-launches and everything seem to be OK. I don' use animated (live) wallpepers, just stock black colored picture.

Is anything else I'm being missing ?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).
[Desire General] Cactus42:
If you're on RCMix 1.4 (I'm on 1.5 so slightly different set of problems) you can flash the RIL for the 5.17.05.23 radio:

http://www.multiupload.com/YXBZO2UH3R

Note - it contains the Adreno200 drivers we're using on RCMix 1.5 but as 1.4 already has them reflashing won't make a difference, also RIL's have been known to break the phone signal after screen lock, if that happens you'd need to reflash the ROM over the top again. The reason I've put this one up is because it's the only RIL I've ever had work and am using it now.

This was created by Baadnewz for InsertCoin, not me. I'im just re-uploading it as it's gone from his site.
[Desire General] LinuksGuru:
This patch from LeeDroid forum - "Alternate WPA Supplicant - enable Ad-Hoc" (wpa_adhoc-signed.zip) - can it be flashed with RCMix S ?

RCMix S 1.5 Issues

I am sorry to use this thread but i also have some issues on the RCMix 1.5

- The first time i launch one app (ex: gallery, music, etc). This app close automatically, the second time works!

- The Locker rarely appear, i can just see my wallpaper and the drag bar. (After trying several times it works)

- If i try to create a mms, nothing appears to send, and when i try to send i get: ''messages stops.....force close..".
