[Droid 2 Global General] Asphyx:
You can change some parameters of the radio using the radiocomm program but they are nothing more than what used to be seem edits.

MDW Forums has some info on Radiocom and some of the edits which include hacking NVRam to bypass the GB tethering block. I am sure that method is capable of some other tweaks not yet tried or searched for since it does allow editing of radio parameters.

But as far as changing the radio system entirely only an unlocked bootloader would make that possible.
[Droid 2 Global General] hgrimberg:
Hacking the NVRam seems to release the limit put on tethering by Verizon, but I don't know if it does something to boost the signal strength.

Is there a way or does somebody knows which parameters to change using the RadioComm program to boost the signal strength on the Droid 2 Global when it is on GSM/WCDMA mode?

When I switch to GSM only the reception is ok, but as soon as I switch to GSM/WCDMA, it drops a few bars and it is really not consistent.
[Droid 2 Global General] kshah:
Yesterday I edited NV ID 876, named WCDMA MAX TX POWER from 0x17 to 0x18 (I found this value from BB 9650, sprint, which has excellent radio and netowrk performance) D2G radio performance seems to have improved a bit.

This seems to be transmission power in WATTS
[Droid 2 Global General] hgrimberg:
Are you using your D2G on Verizon's CDMA network? Are these values you edited using Radiocomm, CDMA values?

I am using my D2G on a GSM network, so if I do what you did, do you think my reception will improve?

You copied values from a BB 9650; where do I find the values of the Milestone 2 for the Americas?

Thank you.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viralwhite:
So this evening I was browsing my Facebook when I noticed a comment made by Samsung Mobile. Here is their post:

"What is 10.1 inches of Android 3.0 Honeycomb delight? Only a few days away from launch! Sign up NOW for the LATEST info - http://pub.vitrue.com/HNs"

Here is a direct link to the page:

https://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobileUSA

Hopefully we will get some more information about price, etc. Would also like to know if Best Buy will be selling tablet on launch. (Sure they will, but would like confirmation)

I didn't see this posted anywhere on the forums including AndroidCentral.... hope this helps!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Viralwhite:
Well, nevermind I guess. When I read that post, I interpreted "few days" as just three or four days. I understand the launch date was supposedly confirmed for June 8th, but that's a little more then a "few days" .... would have been better worded as a couple of weeks.

Was hoping this was referencing to an early launch date.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dscline:
15 is the new 3.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slowhatch:
this made me LOL @ the office
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] H0CKEY:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ravynmagi:
I think there is a zero chance of Apple being able to postpone Samsung's product launch.

Though Samsung could delay their own launch if they don't have 3.1 quite ready or are trying to get TouchWiz on at the last minute or something or some other last minute tweak. Kinda worried they canceled the May 24th event.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] iil:
They have 30 days to comply..way past the release date of June 8th.

Plz don't neglect my opinion, please give me your opinion, i need it to save myself.

The story goes like this, I love a girl, and I have talked to her dad, but her dad said no, and told that she is already engaged with an guy, and my dad even went and told that guy that, the girl and I both love each other, still than he married her, now all the people in her family thinks that that guy is very good as he still agreed to marry even after knowing all this, I think that he is so rude, as if he really loved her he would have understood her and let her go, her parents are proud of him, and they are telling me that I am bad and not really loving her , as if was loving her truly I would have let her go, She wants to get out of this mess, but loves her parents and don't wont to hurt them , so please tell who is good and who is bad.. Plz tell me as I need as more opinion as i get to make her understand the reality... The girl is shy, and everyone knows that she doesn't speak much, so to get something out of her ones needs to ask, her than only she will speak out, even her parents knew this, they never gave her a chance, always gave her excuse, like we will see to it, let some time pass, but they were plain excuses, they told me that they really cared about their daughter, and also told me that if she comes with me and marry me, than they will make there other daughter marry that guy.. now i don't understand what kind of love is that??

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DigiMD:
Hello everyone, I hope this is the right place for my post. I have T-Mobile HTC HD2, and I just flashed NAND Qaliza Desire Android 2.2. Everything went fine throughout installation. However, I am facing an issue when connecting to WiFi.

Turning on WiFi will show networks around, however, when I press connect, and after I enter the pass key nothing happened ... or just a busy dialogue that it is connecting but it never show WiFi icon on the top .... no web access.

What could this be? :(

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DigiMD:
I flashed different radio from 2.15.50 to 2.14.50; and it did not fix the problem!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DigiMD:
Could it be the recovery partition size?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DigiMD:
I got my answer; it is my Belkin router - I could not get it to connect my android. Other Wifi(s) work just fine.

Now, I am working to get around this, hopefully!
[HD2 General] mity287:
I loved this phone -- at first, i got one of the first from Tmobile, was all excited. Then it kept freezing. 2 "new" HD2s later i hate it. And at the moment, I have a horrific sinus infection and no patience to find the links to the drivers and i want to take it to my husband's office and throw it off the top of the building. Unfortunately i think, since it's a police station, they'd frown upon that.

I also don't understand "computer" speak... please help me in "stupid person" terms if you can :p

1. A new driver to keep it from freezing, locking up etc. Every time i'm doing something, like typing a text mssg - and i'm recving a text mssg, the darn thing needs to be rebooted!

2. Tell me what i need to do to keep getting my gmail without the damn thing overheating and draining the battery.

3. Cool apps/games -- preferably free (i have kids that need to be entertained mid-air)

4. the name of a good bluetooth device.

If you can help me and you live within the 415, 510, 408, or 925 area codes i can reward you with cupcakes (when i'm no longer sick of course) -- i bake them professionally.

Also, can the hd2 with win 6.5 be upgraded to win 7? and if so, how?
[HD2 General] silverwind:
1. WHich ROM do you use, Stock or Custom?

2. Gmail never has a problem with WInmo. We all know about the battery drains. You can either buy the extended battery or else turn off your 3G and Wifi when not needed (set everything manually)

3.I dont know about much about games and apps in WInmo. But, I like to play teeter, neon and bejewel

4. I have bluetooth devices from SOny Ericsson and Motorolla. All is good in term of quality.

Cheers..
[HD2 General] mity287:
1. Stock -- last time i did the Tmobile "update" it just made it worse so i did a factory reset and have been living with it ever since. Custom would be awesome since my "1 yr warranty" no longer exists.

2. seems too time consuming when the darn thing doesn't like to do what i ask in the first place :p

3. i have all those games

4. i'll try those, sick of using the corded one and my bluetooth broke.
[HD2 General] thebest1:
1) Your T-Mobile HD2 needs no driver. What it needs is a Custom Rom because it seems that you have the Stock Rom 2.13 or 3.14. First you need to Unlock your device with HSPL3 found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433 . Here is the Link for your TMOUS HD2 Roms http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=992 or http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534

2) Your device overheats because you might be running alot of programs or streaming alot of media on your device.

3) For games theres alot of sites for instance http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-game.html

4) I dont normally use a bluetooth so i dont have an answer to that.

5) Yes, your phone Windows Mobile 6.5 can be hack and upgrade it Windows Phone 7 with the latest rom with NoDo thanks to DFT for making it possible to run Windows Phone 7 and YukiXDA Rom for the NoDo rom. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080950

I hope this helps :)
[HD2 General] mity287:
1. i need someone to explain the link (original thread) in rom for dummies :)

2. i try to exit out of everything when i'm done with it -- HD2 really needs a task mangager

3. thx for the link

4. i need one for driving, it's the law in California.

5. i will try that when everything else is said and done.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
1. As the above post said you do not need any drivers. I recommend you look into a custom Windows Mobile ROM like any of the Energy or Duttys ROMs. You can also check into running android on it or WP7. Any of those three choices run a lot smoother then a stock ROM.

2. Sorry I could never get my HD2 to even set up my gmail account in the Manila/Sense email.

3. again agree with the above post, go to freewarepocketpc.net to get the Omarket, it has a lot of free games. Also do several Google searches for games for Windows Mobile 6.5.

4. Sorry again no advice here, I do not use any bluetooth devices.

5. Yes you can put Windows Phone 7 on your HD2. Click on the guide in my sig and read the very first couple of paragraphs and you will find a link to a guide on how to install WP7. You can also check out the rest as it might bed helpful to you. I also have two guides to installing Andriod linked close to the link for the WP7 guide. I recommend the WP7 ROM by YukiXDA as it is the newest and only WP7 ROM for the HD2 that has NoDo working.

Last make sure you do plenty of reading and researching before attempting any OS change, it is best to be informed.
[HD2 General] mity287:
1. i have NO idea how to go about doing any of this. Seriously, i am a computer/electronics dummy. i'm lucky i can turn the darn thing on. when instructions are saying check your HSPL OSPL SPL, unistall it, save it to SD, rename it, or whatever, i have NO idea how to go about doing that. so please someone help me here.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
HSPL is like the key to the phones guts... SPL is what the phone comes with by default that is the LOCK of the phone.. Cotulla managed to change it around and called it HSPL so with that you can do stuff on your HD2 that HTC and Microsoft don't want you doing...

So by putting HSPL following the guides mentioned your simply starting a Windows Application that will restart you phone into the phones bootloader or SPL (what turns on at first and is covered by the HTC logo or T mobiles Stick Together)

then it flashes (installs) HSPL so that your phone becomes unlocked to custom ROMS or modified update packages and in turn allows you to put MAGLDR which is a custom DFT (Dark Forces Team) project that after HSPL is loaded a new Operating System Loader starts up and allows you to run Android or Windows Phone from the phones internal memory. Radios are a little bit risky since some Radios will brake your device and make it unusable but for some people its worth the risk with improved Cell coverage and Faster speeds but in some cases drains the battery faster. You have the latest Radio since it was included with T-Mobiles 3.14

In your case if don't want Windows Mobile 6 then the alternatives are either Android with its large Market Place or Windows Phone (new) with its some what limited Market but with free games none the less

BUT a custom build of Windows Mobile 6 will have better performance since it won't be filled with T-Mobiles junk and you will be familiar with it instead of switching to Android or Windows Phone with their different Interface

keep in mind to explain everything COMPLETELY so you can understand over online text might be a little tedious. here's a guide to flash android onto your phone, but it isn't limited to android. you can flash windows phone 7 roms similarly. i can empathize with you, there was a time i didn't know what anyone was talking about but take it all in stride, do some looking around the forums and see if you can gradually understand what people are saying. trust me, just grab a hot coffee sit down and browse through things i have faith you'll figure things out

Then why are you even here?

You have absolutely zero chance of been able to do any of this simply because you obviously are not even prepared to go and sit down and read. If you was you would be reading teh guides and sticky topics etc instead of back and forth in this topic.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Erislover:
user Hiko3 mentioned (and others have, as well) that: If you haven't heard, Fede's Music app is a new application from the designer of Launcher Pro that is meant to imitate WP7's zune app. It's leaps and bounds nicer than the stock android player.

Check out this player here - it's really sweet!

[Samsung Mesmerize] KrevlinGoodspeed:
So I was out of the country for awhile and then busy catching up on work.

My Mesmerize is still on EB16 without CWM or what not. I know the official 2.2 came out from USC but I also heard that it dropped calls.

My EB16 is starting to bug me and some errors keep popping up.

A couple of questions:

1. Can I just install the official over EB16 or do I need to use Odin to go back to stock 2.1?

2. Has the call drop issue been fixed with the official or is there something better?

I hate to go off stock.

Sorry if this has all been addressed but I don't know where to start.
[Fascinate General] roketteere:
Ok so this is pretty easy to do.

Root and Use this ROM:

Super Clean D101

First this is for those who already have their Fascinates on MetroPCS.

You internet does not require anything else but the following EVDO Settings in CDMA Workshop:

USER: 10digitMDN@mymetropcs.com

Pass: 6DigitMSL/SPC

To get the MMS to word simple use the APNs provided.

Use APN Backup and Restore.

Delete the APNs and place the ones here in the SDCard in the folder for APN Backup and restore.

Restore them, reboot, and everything should work.

This should work on the LG Optimus and Samsung Epic as well.

I flash phones for a living and this is how I do it.
[Fascinate General] QuasiTD:
Huh, wonder if this would work for the AOSP MMS issues... I might look into the VZW Settings later tonight if I can.

Probably MMS is a completely different issue, but worth checking!
[Fascinate General] roketteere:
cool

post your results if you could please...Im using Super Clean and right now for some reason everything but the MMS is working lol...

Not sure why this one aint working for me now...

Im going to edit the apns and see if that works...
[Fascinate General] QuasiTD:
To be clear: I'm on a fascinate that is still Verizon bound, but the experiment intrigues me. I'll have to pull the data on a Touchwiz rom and compare it to an AOSP. See if there is a change. There is also a few other questions in my head of how the MMS might work as I think of it. It really is just to keep myself busy, and I have little control over my curiosity than I expect any actual results.

Either way I will make sure to post what happens.
[Fascinate General] roketteere:
I tried editing the apns and no luck dude. I worked on it for a few hours n never got the MMS going. I wonder what the issue is.

Let me know if u have any suggestions.

[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Supplied in this zip below is a slightly modified eri.xml file from the EVO forum. This file will go directly in /data. The permissions should be full, meaning...in root explorer if you long-press on the eri.xml file and select "permissions" all boxes should be checked.

1. Download eri.xml.zip

2. Extract and put the eri.xml file in /data

3. Change permissions either by rootexplorer or by doing: chmod 777 /data/eri.xml in adb shell.

By default is says "Google" for the banner.

Changing the banner text to what you want: if you open up eri.xml you will see "Google" 3 times. Replace the word Google with what you want your banner to be. Make sure to have all three say the exact same thing.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
Not working for me. I edit it and save. Is there something else I have to do afterwards?

Btw, I move it to /data on phone and not on SD right?
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Make sure you only changed "Google" & in all 3 references.

Yes just /data. Make sure your permissions are right and reboot

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
OK I rebooted and its coming up as "roaming indicator off" I'm sure I did something wrong. I changed the permissions and made sure all boxes were checked, even special permission boxes.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
I got it working finally. Apparently the permissions change when u mess with the files, so u have to go back and double check that they're all checked.

Thx for the info!

[Nexus S General] jinsoku3g:
Pardon my ignorance,but where is there a sprint banner
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
On the lockscreen in the upper right corner, pull down your notification bar and it says Sprint. That is the "banner"

Uncle Jimmy says hello
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
The banner shows the carrier you're using. For instance if you're using a GSM phone, the banner will display carrier name that is linked to your sim card.
[Nexus S General] tailsthecat3:
this changes the eri, which is located in three places. on the notification pull down, the lock screen and in "Settings > about phone > status > Network".

this worked perfectly for me after you posted earlier. thanks.

I am still getting "roaming indicator off" and I can't understand why. Every permission is checked, I have repaired permissions and rebooted...
