[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
I think everybody streatches the truth(carriers), but it is "mobile" technology but ya 2-3 is just about right, but in this same area my bros iphone4 only gets 1-2 so i was just impressed a lil at first, my G2 in this same area got 8 at best but 7 constantly in my house. 5 when im out and about. And just wondering what type of network is this phone really using? What is umts?
[HTC Inspire 4G] yatyas2141:
Was wondering what sideloader update? I get roughly 6.5mbps here by the Texas motor speedway.

I have a HTC inspire 4g

Using coredroid 6.6

Also wondering what does overclocking do to your phone?

I have no-frills

And also what does the governer do?

On there is has choices for smartass. What is that????

And many others would someone please let me know what they are and how to properly use them please.

One more thing.... Do they upload ROMS on here for the mobile application?
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
-Are you wondering what "sideloader update is"? are are you asking what update did I get?

-Overclocking just raises your CPU to speeds that your phone wasnt originally intended to do. It will make your phone a bit snappier and some things will run faster, but you must be very careful not to raise the CPU level too far, you could damage your phone permanently.

-To overclock you must have a custom "kernel" with the ability to "overclock". If you have flashed a custom rom then chances are you have one. Or you can download one and flash it after the rom, BUT, make sure it is compatible with your rom or could get bootloops and have to restore a backup. ALAWAYS MAKE BACKUPS WITH CLOCKWORK! they will save your life!

-The governer, in my understanding, just tells the CPU what speeds and frequencies to use and when to use them, i always just imagine a highway of cars, the cars would be the information, and the highway the paths to where the information goes, the governer just manages all this information in ways to conserve battery life or just speed things up, Smartass is a Schedular that somebody made that manages it all verry well. and kindof revolutionized linux systems.. or is that BFS?

- Just use smartass as your daily governer. Make a profile for SCREEN OFF in setcpu, use powersave or conservative and put the CPU speeds at 245/345 or somethin low like that. and you should be good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hyun18:
WHat update? the hsupa update??lol that was like a month ago....
[HTC Inspire 4G] yatyas2141:
It says I have hsdpa... Am I supposed to have hsupa? I have a inspire 4g running coredroid 6.7. Help please
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
LOL you guys are getting those speeds cuz you're from oklahoma :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
What does that mean? Not as much polution to distort our signals?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Acesanugal:
Mine is better than al of yours so far.. 8.79 down, 3.66 up, 57 ping. Maxed out the meter on the download test about four times before it settled. I live in Vermont.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
3.6 up? First I've ever heard of that speed on AT&T. And maxing out the meter would mean 20+ Mb/s which is impossible. You sure you weren't on wifi?
[Acer Iconia A500] Arashi1118:
I have 32GB Micro SD card that I have copied my files into using a Micro SD card reader but after I inserted it to my A500 the files were gone. The card is formatted to FAT32 and I have inserted it into my A500 before transferring file just to be sure the card can be found by the file manager.

I have tried using wifi to transfer files but I find it very slow; over 2 hours for 1.5GB.

I don't know what I am doing wrong with this thing.
[Milestone 2 General] inheme:
Im having some problems with the wi-fi connection. When it first conects, everything goes ok, but when I start to download anything, the connection just stops responding, even tough it looks like conected. What should I do?
[Milestone 2 General] mpabegg:
I'm having the same problem and couldn't find the solution, did any solve the problem?
[Milestone 2 General] evilmtv:
Wifi problem on MS2

After months of researching and suffering the pain I still have not got a full solution for my MS2. My wifi problem is that it connects well, great wifi speed on my home network. But after a couple of minutes there's no more internet access even though it shows that its connected. I chanced upon this link laptopmag.com/review/cell-phones/motorola-droid-2.aspx?page=4 where it had the same problem brought up. It had a solution/fix which I do not want to use though. Further information can be found on the droidforums link on that page. What I have been doing all along is the same as what the guys at laptopmag has been doing, just reconnect whenever internet is down. Irritating yeah, but don't really have any other option..

Hope someone does have a proper solution :X
[Milestone 2 General] inheme:
in my case all I had to do was port forward som port i dont remember
[Milestone 2 General] mpabegg:
I installed the BlurLess GB rom and the problem is now gone.

Btw, my router @ home is G only, so the solution posted did not apply for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDomsx:
I was thinking about changing stock battery (1500mAh) to new with 1800mAh (buy it on eBay).

Can there be any side effects from that?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munkeyphyst:
side effects other than it might not really be 1800 mAh, and possibly worse than the stock battery? buyer beware with those replacement batteries on ebay (same for the SD cards...)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argentocruz:
Yeah, regardless what the stated mAh is for a battery, you really dunno what ya gunna get...

But replacement batteries these days are so cheap you'd may aswell get one, even if only as a backup...
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Am I the only one who just doesn't find any of the other browsers to be worth using?

and before everyone tells me to try Opera, I don't get why everyone likes it.

To me, it looks sloppy and unorganized and I don't see an advantage over webkit.
[Nook Color General] LinuxParadigm:
Company Loves Company

No, you are not the only one. I used Opera and Dolphin previously, and after flashing multiple ROMs, I find that the stock browser does everything I want and need just as good as Dolphin or Opera.
[Nook Color General] framitz:
I've tried several browsers, but the stock browser is just fine for my uses.

Stock is less bloated too.
[Nook Color General] limaunion:
i'm still waiting for my first android tablet thus cannot provide an answer, but what problem does the stock browser have? I guess it must be pretty good being probably I guess (?) a derivative from google's chrome, or not?
[Nook Color General] wpbear:
I use dolphin hd because of bookmarks to sd and lastpass plugins.

Sent from my NC
[Nook Color General] Jimbo67:
I have been experimenting with all the others, I just keep going back to the stock browser--It just Works!

I am playing around with Firefox now.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I like the stock browser but the ability to Titanium Backup a 3rd party browser 100% intact with all my bookmarks, settings, saved browsing history, passwords etc if I need to wipe and re-flash Android is

extremely

helpful.

Along with whatever features using a 3rd party browser brings, this simple ability alone makes it worth it for me to use another browser. :cool:

I know you can use Titanium Backup with the Android apps but that it can also cause instability and other issues, so that's why I don't do it.
[Nook Color General] ChrisDDD:
I mostly favor the stock browser too. I can't stand Opera, it's fast but the text rendering is terrible and the interface is sloppy. I've been using Dolphin Mini over the past few days and so far I'm liking it, but I'm not about to commit to it by removing the stock browser.

Stock does do pretty much everything with no fuss, but I'll say Dolphin Mini's interface is clean and the tabs are nice. I can't afford to give up the screen space for tabs on my phone's 4 inch display, but it's not an issue on the Nook.

I've tried a bunch of other browsers as well, and so far Dolphin Mini is the only contender to replace stock.
[Nook Color General] Deleted member 3767071:
Unless I'm missing some setting, I feel like tabbed browsing is very poorly implemented in the stock browser. Its an easy enough fix to add it to the address bar so that you don't have to click through menus.

Opera and Dolphin HD also feel (subjectively) faster to me. Dolphin HD has gestures which is nice...especially the page up and page down.

Being able to jump to the top of a page by taping the top of the screen like in Safari iOS would be nice. Scrolling is kind of a pain in the but on all of the Android browsers I'd tried.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I have Dolphin HD as a secondary browser but I still think stock is so much cleaner.
[Nook Color General] cincibluer6:
I use Opera and love it. To be fair, I never really gave the stock one much of a shot because I didn't see an easy way to use tabs (which apparently, there is.)

Opera's UI though is great IMO and it is pretty damn fast. That and syncing with my desktop is nice.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Where is the option for tabs in the stock browser?
[Nook Color General] Deleted member 3767071:
Menu > windows
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I know that.

I meant like actual tabs like desktop browsers or Dolphin?
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Nope. The stock browser for Android < 3.0 does not have tabs. Only in Honeycomb.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
Didn't think so, someone said something so I had to make sure.

Is there any way to port the Honeycomb browser over by any chance?
[Nook Color General] nolook:
i really like opera esp once you set it to desktop user agent....
[Nook Color General] LinuxParadigm:
The stock browser can be set to a number of different user agents, including linux desktop and mac desktop, and ie6 :eek: (shudder).
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
I'm using Mac desktop, liking it personally although most differences are subtle at best.
[Nook Color General] holgalee:
The stock browser is my favourite too. The rest have all the bells and whistles that I don't need, which clutter up the space. ;) If I need to access more than one website ata time, I just open another window.

Good to know I'm not the only one.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QMaverick:
Is there any way for me to use bluetooth to talk on my phone with the audio jack plugged into my car? My headset is better than the speakerphone option, and right now I have to unplug the headphone jack every time I get a phone call.

I did a quick search and couldn't find an answer to this. I am not using the OEM Samsung dock (though I will buy one if it fixes the problem).
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
Are u rooted? And are u on 2.2 or running the gingerbread leak?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QMaverick:
I am rooted running Syndicate Frozen 1.1.1 (ext4). Sorry, should have provided that info up front.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
ok heres an app that will fix your problem only works with 2.2 roms
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QMaverick:
Thanks! I really appreciate the quick help. Will there be a GB fix down the road?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
I don't know but I hope so. I found this app a while ago so I don't know who worked on it but I hope they make a GB one cuz I'm on it right now and it didn't work for me
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
Will that fix let me use a wiimote with the epic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Esteway.619:
What's a wiimote?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lynyrd65:
The remote control for a nintendo wii or Wiimote

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falconeight:
I dont have it on my phone anyone have it
[Xperia Arc General] Belazor:
Has anyone been able to successfully use this browser?

If I use it, and allow the screen to lock, it becomes impossible to unlock the phone and I have to pull out the battery in order to get back into Android.

The entire phone also starts choking up making each click or tap take about 30 seconds or more to execute.

Wonder if this is a common problem or just mine...
[Xperia Arc General] pato_bato:
I have the same problem.

so, I use xscope
[Xperia Arc General] 007Arc:
I use Dolphin HD. It looks like firefox..also supports add-ons and gestures. I also recommend you 'browse faster for Dolphin'. Increasing browsing speed alot.
[Xperia Arc General] ShyamSasi:
It was a nightmare when I tried Firefox, really I won't recommend it
[Xperia Arc General] refract:
When I saw it got released, I went all happymode and went to download it.. the dissapointment when I realised how laggy it is compared to pretty much any other browser out there :\

Opera mobile is really the smoothest browser out there, wish they ported Chrome over to Android.
[Xperia Arc General] Belazor:
S'what I thought. Thanks, fellow arcanites :)

At the moment I'm just using the stock browser, since it seems to be one of the fastest ones, but I lament the fact that switching tabs is kind of a chore.

I'll look through all the other browsers out there again at some point :)
[Xperia Arc General] ucubz:
Tried firefox for android moment ago, not realy like it, loading time is horrible and sometimes cannot load at all, said my connection not available. Now I'm using stock browser and operamini.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] marcelloLins:
Hi everyone,i just flashed,for the first time,a custom rom on my G3.

The version 5.1 for Kyrillo's Rom. Everything worked fine,my phone is fully operational,but seems like i missed something,because i cant find the "5 lockscreens" choices,neither i can OverClock it .

I Ignored the part that said that i needed to flash "Fugumod" before flashing this rom,because i haven't found any instruction on the web of how to actually do it,and flash another rom after this or whatever the process is.

Sorry about any english mistake, but i need some hand here,on of how to "fix" it,or how to do the full process (i dont mind having to re flash the entire rom ),i just want to make it right this time

Thanks,and sorry if its in the wrong Thread.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] peldax:
So

Lockscreens in settings-> display

Fugumod is kernel and you have to flash it to overclock. You can find it in development section.

It will not replace kyrillos, it only flashes new kernel

How to flash it?

Odin - one package option
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] mcd_legend:
jsut follow the steps like a normal ... like u flashed kyrillos 5.1

but instead of the one package of kyrillos use the fugumod kernel file
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
I have read that the updated radio improves reception signals and thus battery life, but I can't find any links to it.

Would someone be kind enough to post me a flashable file with just the radio please.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, my handset came with radio # ending with 38.03.02.14M and am now upgrade to 3805.04.02.01M.

Again found in loveboatcaptain thread, took a lot of searching.

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Hi! May I asked where you found the latest radio? maybe post some links.. thanks.. :D
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Ooh my took a lot of effort to find. Here I upload the file;

http://db.tt/xvGZXM5

After downloading copy to sdcard root and rename to PG88IMG.zip and confirm flash in hboot (not fastboot).

Haven't really seen any signal improvements, be sure have your original radio to hand before flash just in case you want to revert to original radio ok, up to you.

Edit found source, it is in loveboatcaptain Rom thread in the development forum just click in the download link on the first post. His Rom has many goodies added so all credits to him.

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Thanks for the info.. But just quick questions:

1. Can I upgrade my radio ONLY?

2. Can I do this if my phone is S-ON? (Because mine is.. :()

The reason I want to do this is because I'm a having a hard time having reception from my carrier on areas IN the house where previous phones(a lot, mostly Nokia's) doesn't have any problems with it. This made me think that the problem is still not in my SIM but on the radio of the device. And it shouldn't have problems with it as the SIM card is only about 2 years old. Maybe a software problem?

Thanks for all the help, am still a noob on Android stuffs, and only 3rd day of having my HTC Desire S. And already loving it except with the radio problem. :D

If I may add: when I turn on my Wi-Fi, my reception will really be having a hard time getting any, twice as difficult maybe. Is this normal? or should I bring this back to HTC?

P.S.

I've already know about the problem with Wi-Fi "death-grip", and mine has it.

Thanks again.. :D
[HTC Desire S] MasterDL:
Hi skanob

Yes this file will only write the radio but not sure if will work on s-on phone. Like I said I haven't noticed any better quality reception either, I always blamed the design flaw in this.

[HTC Desire S] Skanob:
Thanks for the reply..

Yup, I was quite shocked when I read on one of the manuals that came w/ the phone that the radio is placed on the bottom of the phone, where you usually hold the phone. (opposite where the wifi hardware is). Which is quite disappointing. It seems their telling us to use the phone (calling and sms, maybe network internet) without holding your phone the "usual" way. :(
[HTC Desire S] Wrapp:
Does somebody know anything about the differences of these different Radio version?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
i will try to make this a step by step how to bluetooth tether to my transformer. (for us dummies)

if you are advanced see the end of this post.

things to know:

1.- i will be mentioning the bluetooth settings screen a lot so, the way you get there is apps/settings/wireless&networks/bluetooth settings.

2.- for my example my phone is rooted but, my transformer is stock

phone: rooted using wireless tether

TF: not rooted

things to do/have before anything:

1.- INSTALL wireless tether ( at the time of this post im using version 2.0.8pre1)

2.- OPEN wireless tether

donate screen CLOSE or DONATE (up to you)

PRESS Green icon in the middle to STAR tethering

ALLOW superuser rights

PRESS green icon in the middle to STOP tethering

ALLOW superuser rights (yes again)

EXIT and REBOOT phone

MY NOTES: ok you made it this far you can now tether to other devices that accept the ad-hoc type connection. (im not explaining any deeper because this is for us dummies)

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

ok are you ready? i am

1.- phone: open wireless tether and go into settings

1.- TF: go to bluetooth settings screen and turn bluetooth ON

2.- phone: scroll down and check Use Bluetooth AND Discoverable

2.- TF: do nothing

3.- phone: press BACK once to go back to the main screen (screen with green Icon)

3.- TF: do nothing

CHECK POINT: on this screen it should now say Bluetooth on the top-right corner

4.- phone: press Green icon to start tethering

PRESS YES to the bluetooth permission request then...

4.- TF: press Find Nearby Devices

5.- phone: press PAIR (screen with the bluetooth code)

5.- TF: press PAIR (same screen with the bluetooth code)

CHECK POINT: on the TF there is now a bluetooth icon on the bottom right corner

6.- phone: do nothing

6.- TF: on your bluetooth settings screen SELECT your new found device ("Droid" in my case)

CHECK POINT: bluetooth icon should now have 2 little arrows

CONGRATULATIONS YOUR AWESOME TRANSFORMER IS NOW CONNECTED BROWSE AWAY

thank you guys for reading this and if you have any questions dont be shy and post them.

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

FOR ADVANCED USERS

do not make the mistake to pair your phone using the bluetooth settings on each device. you MUST use the settings INSIDE wireeless tether to make phone discoverable.

MY NOTES: one day i will become an advance user

i think i can i think i can!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pcdude:
Tethering

Ok. Great instructions btw. I have a Droid Incredible and would like to blue tooth tether my TF to my droid, but, it sounds like i need to root my droid. I was trying to avoid doing this but I'll listen to your comments. Also, will the TF get a 3g connection this way?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nxp3:
appreciate you posting this. I guess now is a good time to root EVO4G phone? Now I just need the instruction for that.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spiritamokk:
I did everything you have described. Step by step I have paired my ROOTED HTC EVO 4G and Transformer. But in the end when I click on new found device I DONT HAVE BLUETOOTH TETHER PROFILE and neither bluetooth icon with 2 little arrows. Nothing is going on, just two paired devices. Not connected. Wireless tether is running in bluetooth mode. What I did wrong? I have last update on TF 8.2.3.13-20110511
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oxpecker:
I'm having issues with this. I believe I've done things correct. On my transformer I get the note that I am connected to my evo 4g (running cm7 stable) and clicking on the little wrench tells me its "tethered". The main list of devices notes that I am "connected" to my evo. However any attempts to use the tether for internet result in nothing. I'm not sure if the issue is on my evo, or on the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dredge999:
I have the same issue. Paired but not connected on the TF and when I select the phone on the TF it does nothing.

Rick
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spiritamokk:
I will try to install CyanogenMod on my EVO, just to check if my ROM causing this problem. Tell you later =)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
it doesnt change from "paired but not connected" to "Connected" on Step #6?

i have done every step about 6 times now, and i got friends who have done it without my help and they got it going. i will see if posting some screenshots help your guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
any feedback will be noted, hopefully we can help our great trasformer community and have this going for ALL of us.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] oxpecker:
Mine pairs, and is connected. It simply will not use the paired connection to get out to the internet through my evo. I'm /confused.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spiritamokk:
I have good news and a bad news. I successfully flashed my EVO 4G from Warm Z to Cyanogenmode 7 (V7.0.3.1 (05/06/2011).

And i FINALY got phone and Transformer connected!! That means I SEE Bluetooth tethering profile inside of found device which is my EVO. YEah!! ..... BUT I DON'T HAVE AN INTERNET CONNECTION =))

Wireless tether (i tried 2.0.7 and 2.0.8 EXPERIMENTAL) shows me VERY SLOW outcome traffic couple bites a sec, but no income traffic through the phone.

That is all I have for now. Any Ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spiritamokk:
Same problem man =)

BTW! Based on my own expirience now I can tell: YOU CAN'T CONNECT your phone and transformer if you have Warm Z TwoPointTwo ROM!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CoolWaters:
Same for me.

Evo
[Eee Pad Transformer General] m3m3:
sorry for asking by what is the advantage of bluetooth tether?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CoolWaters:
From what I hear, less battery consumption.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spiritamokk:
Damn... I have changed 4 ROMs in the past hour. Same problem. Connected but no internet. May be fcuk that bluetooth tethering? =)) WiFi is WAY easier! I dont think that power consumption is MUCH lower!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] GeLopez:
ok so im starting to see a pattern here,

EVO + bluetooth tether + transformer = fail
[Eee Pad Transformer General] spiritamokk:
Yep! This is pretty much what we have so far ;) I hope somebody will prove me wrong.
