[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
hi guys, go easy on me its my first post :)

love the website the guides have helped me to successfully downgrade, s-off and flash custom roms to my dhd

I searched for the answer to this question but couldnt find anything. Is there any plan for custom rom developers to fix the 2.3.3 rom wifi compatability problems with speedtouch modems, as this is the only reason i cant use 2.3.3 based roms? (a lot of people have this problem with the stock rom but it is also in leedroids new one, android rev. etc) Would like to ask this in the android dev section but i need 10 posts for that.

Thanks for the help you lot have already given me, and i love the video!

Hi, welcome and congrats on your first post.

What specifically is the problem with the wifi? Is it specific to a type of authorisation (WEP, WPA/2) issue or something else?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
thanks :)

this is a link to a detailed description of this exact problem: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1063103.html

i really dont expect anyone to go through the hassle of reading this, so summarized it says that ever since the gingerbread 2.3.3 update the phone is capable of connecting to all modems, but cannot transfer data on certain ones (such as the speedtouch modems)

I found a good post on this in a german forum a couple of weeks ago but i cant find it now, (i'll keep looking) but it said the problem was that some modems transmit with n and some with b or something like that. and that the only answer was to wait (ages) for a stock rom update (2.3.4?) as 2.3.3 isn't compatible with these types of modems

i would have expected this had been solved in the custom roms though :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
this is a qoute from the link below

"It turns out the Be Box router which Be supplied, which is a THOMSON ST585v6, is not compatible but also other versions of THOMSON routers as well."

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
Ok, just read through that thread. What model of Speedtouch router are you using?

One workaround is to use a static IP. Have you tried this? I can help you set this up if required.

HTC seem to blame this issue on Google, as an Android issue. Not sure about that as any ROM that uses Gingerbread would exhibit the same problem, which isn't the case.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
modem is a Thompson Speedtouch ST585 v6

Thanks but i have already tried and the modem only works with dynamic IPs (tried to solve it with a static IP for ages with my dad but it didnt work xD)

This qoute from dioky on page 4 of the link below states (i'm pretty certain) the problem: (i clicked the thanks button for this answer)

"Hi there,

I have the same WiFi problems as all of you.

Furthermore I can confirm that changing ROM (ARHD or Leedroid) won't help, if you stay with Gingerbread versions, that is.

I found out that:

* Data won't flow (although connected fine) to SpeedTouch WiFi access point (b/g).

* Data won't flow (although connected fine) through D-Link DAP1360 (n).

* BUT: does flow (and connected fine off course) through Belkin G Plus MIMO access point (g)!

I have rechecked it by reflashing back to ARHD 3.7 returning to ARHD 5.1.7 and ARHD 5.1.4 and LeeDroiD 3.0.3.

Which in all, makes me conclude that there definitely is something on the software side concerning compatibility!

For now, I will return to ARHD 3.7 Android 2.2.1 until solution is found.

Regards,"

Does anybody know if the Rom devs.plan to solve this (or even know about this problem)?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
any ideas peeps?? this is a major problem for me :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
You want to try giving a static IP another shot?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
i'm pretty sure it wont work as i tried to solve the prob like this but whatever i did i couldnt get it to work. but i'll give it another shot. another idea would maybe be updating the modem drivers if there is such a thing?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
What is your routers current firmware version? And is that a branded router?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
i really have no idea. i'm a total noob with routers :confused:

can you tell me an easy way how i could find out?

I can confirm that I have this problem with 2.3.3 and my Thomson/SpeedTouch 585v6 (FW 6.1.4.3) too.

It seems to connect WiFi fine, even assigns an IP but nothing actually works.

Solution for Wifi problem 2.3.3

Hello!

I have the same problem on my DHD with 2.3.3

Before there is an permanent fix for this You could manually configure the IP adress in the phones Wifi and it works great.

You can not use the DHCP in the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
I should have mentioned that I actually have a HTC Desire (not HD). But the ROM is a 2.3.3. It actually assigns the IP via DHCP just fine.

I have already tried manually assigning the IP address (and other fields) but still no luck.

There are those who can connect with a manual IP and a few, even after assigning it manually, still can not connect.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemobile11:
i tried using a static IP but it doesnt work..tried for days now

sounds like i am one of the few it doesnt work for after assigning manually...

i am a total noob but i was wondering if it would be possible for a custom rom dev to take the wifi drivers from froyo and use them in a gingerbread based rom??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh500:
UPDATE

I called up my ISP requesting a newer firmware for the 585v6 router (although I know it is no longer supported). Anyway, without any hassle at all, they gave me the newer: TG585 v7 router with firmware 8.2.23.0 (pre-installed).

This connects without any problems to my 2.3.3 ROM (RCMix 2.0).

I am looking for best launcher for tab. I installed 3 of them launcher pro, launcher 7 and golauncher.

Launcher pro is good, but need to pay for its widgets. No crashes till now.

Launcher 7 is good but very less home screen options. No crashing but sometime slow to start home screen.

I am highly upset with golauncher, i make my home screen staying whole night, adding widgets shortcuts but when i woke up in morning one of three home screen was lost with all content! !!

I made it again and later find out two two home screen collaspe and became ONE! overlapping apps.

Golauncher has more option than launcher pro, widgets are free to but it crashes everytime, is there any way to fix it ?

Or any other best launcher?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
ADW EX. Perfect launcher. Customizable, fast and very stable.

| Don't Revive Me Bro | Follow me on Twatter :D
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] 4exess:
i can only agree with ganj...

i use it for quite a time now and no probs with ...fast and smooth
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
I use launcher pro, only because of the sexy theme-able widgets
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] jjhiza:
I've run LauncherPro since it was in Alpha, and I can testify to it's performance, both on my Tab and my OG Droid. I love the ability to skin the widgets, and even though it's been a looooong time coming, Fede is rewriting the entire launcher code in order to enhance performance. ADW EX does have benefits though, especially with things like being able to move the app drawer out of the dock, and onto the homescreen. Being able to remove the dock is cool as well. The major issue I had with EX, was with widget resizing and overlapping... I could just never get it to work as well as LP. Either way though, you can't go wrong. They're both great launchers.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] pendevous:
ADW Launcher for free is smooth and quite customizable. The EX version is hands down the best, and it's cheap.

And there's VTL.Launcher too
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] wallah:
I use Go Launcher Ex and no problem with, for me it's the best, free, many theme for free and you know that widget free also....
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
Another vote for ADW Ex. VTL is nice also, based on ADW. ADW Ex and Live Wallpaper Switcher so you have different backgrounds on each page is golden. Resizable widgets is good too.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] iamodogg:
Awd ex.. Thumbs up..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nobleskill:
Yup. Adw ex is my fall back launcher. Its the one I end up running on most kernel and rom combos. Open home, based on Adw too I believe, is fantastic too. Great customization and a solid feel bit its a limitless over priced, its confusing about the whole 5/6 thing and it seems wrong to have a commercial launcher called "open" is a bit cynical. It might be just my setup but I also had battery issues from it.

My latest favourite is actually GO launcher with weather and task manager widget and am running go SMS too. Just realised I never even installed Adw when I last flashed.. hmm well there you go. Been a good solid few days with no issues at all and thinking about it I've had no lag, good battery and yeah forgot I was even running it if that makes sense. Free is free too afterall and the only real complaint is the limited premium themes but there are loads of free ones, some quite nice too.

I like go launcher but my tab was unlucky for it, there were too much bugs on it. I bought laucher pro and awd ex from market and playing with them .

Launcher pro is simple and i already set it up but awd is eating my brain, a lot. I played whole day but still cant figure out how to add its widgets and other things. Lets see
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] noxxious:
right now, im using go launcher ex.. :) might try adw some time later.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] msgfromside3:
Go Launcher EX. So far it shows the best perf and usability combination for me on both froyo and gb.

BTW, I am willing to switch to TW4 if I can see a good perf (not yet, at least with Overcome GB Gold).
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bikrame:
@gandroid and all who thinks ADWlauncher is good, i am preety pissed of with it. I bought without trying its free version now they will not make refunds.

I even cant figure out how to add awd widgets , it just takes me to market where there is option to buy only. Is there any free widgets and themes that comes with it or we have to buy everything. I dont want to pay more for launcher only.

I bought launcher pro also, which has itself free widgets. Its worth of 3 somthing dollar.

Somebody please tell me either i dont know how to use adw or it doesnt have any widgets.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] corodius:
I use VTL.Launcher, its a fork of ADW designed for Tablets. Brilliant launcher imo, a LOT of customisability and options, and not exactly expensive either.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Agassiz:
I prefer the Go Launcher, too. It can has an unlimited number of screens and is VERY customizable, even the shortcuts/icons on the desktop. Before, i used launcherpro. But Go Launcher is free and even more customizable.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kamirza:
Go and ADW

Originally I was a fan of LP but since my discovery of ADW Ex I have been using the latter. Excellent launcher in every respect. Go Ex is also extremely good. My comments would be : Go Ex seems to me the best as far as the usability and inteface is concerned (if it works properly), it probably has the best themes as well. Another great point is the ease with which we can put multiple icons on the screen. BUT, I am having a few problems with it. Everytime I reboot the widgets disappear and I have to put them back again which is a pain. That is happeneing with ADW as well, perhaps its my ROM or kernel. It also seemed to be obviously slower than the ADW. So now I am using Go Ex with my tab and ADW on the Galaxy s phone. So ADW is definitely faster.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ryn888:
I used Go Launcher EX. Because its free.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] pendevous:
Or if you are looking for a very fast yet super simple launcher, you can go for Zeam.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] goodideal:
vote to go launcher ex, much custimizable, umlimited screens, lots of themes, smooth and statable..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] fleurdelisxliv:
since the update i cant get ex to work right on my tab so i switched to launcher pro plus and its pretty great. does anyone know whats im doing wrong with ex nothing fits like it use to everything is to small :confused:
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bongski55:
I'd still go for the default touchwiz launcher as the best....otherwise why would apple sue samsung for it(the gui) if it was not good?.....
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] krumbs:
I have been using Regina, which has nice transitions and 3D effects. Recent updates have improved performance. And it is for free. My fallback launcher would be the Xperia Arc port. Fast and stable. Zeam is another option.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] sohrab1985:
I'm using Xperia Arc launcher. It works great.

I love working with launcher pro,too.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] zakariae:
apple sued samsung because they were jealous the new galaxy tab is thinner then ipad2 lol :D
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bikrame:
I am using two now launcher pro and go launcher. Awd took my money only, i have to buy every widgets and theme for awd, that sucks. I wish bill gates will donate me for that.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] 02xda1:
Umm, not sure what you're doing wrong, or not seeing in adw ex, but there's plenty of free widgets by holding your finger down on the screen and selecting widget, and themes in the market.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bikrame:
I guess those are samsung widgets or which we download from market. I am talking about awd ex widgets like launch pro do, they have like launcha pro widgets.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] 02xda1:
Oh, ok then, correct me if i'm wrong ayone, but i belive adw doesn't have it's own widgets like you're chasing. sorry.

I haven't tried the latest adw but adw was slow. WRT the widget issue, it should be your isolated issue. Only time I had to resetup is when I wipe my data during changing/upgrading rom.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Justin^Tan:
GO lags for me, regina lags too

wonder why >.<

the only launcher i can depend on is launcher pro and adw

maybe its because i use too many widget or what, i dunno

regina was smooth when i havent put any widget on it though

netlife is quite cool too with the conversation view, but limited widget and shortcut, and scrolling through the cube when you had many app is horrible
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] frenkie9999999:
The best is always LauncherPro.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] bikrame:
Launcher pro is working nice on mine. Awd sucks.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] vince_junior:
when i got my xperia phone late last year, i immediately tried launcherpro and adw. launcher pro is way smoother than adw so i bought the plus version of the former. i fall in love with lpp that's why when i got my tab early this year, i made lpp as my homescreen. i love the new skin customizations on the widgets. I used it for two months. Until i discover go launcher in this thread.

when i got go launcher, i was immediately wowed by it. The task manager is visually amazing! There are so many customizations! There are so many free themes avaialable in the market! And now, i'm always busy designing and re-designing my homescreens using go! but i have to admit that launcherpro is still smoother than go....

I haven't uninstalled my first love yet (launcherpro plus), and im still waiting patiently for the promise rewrite of fede. but my current love is go launcher. when the rewrite of lpp comes out, i might just go back to my first love!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mtmello:
I agree !
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] rxprenegade:
the best launcher is ADW EX. I make that with it:
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] :
Get LauncherPro, who cares about the widgets!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] siggehandf:
Launcher 7. Been using it for a long time. Very simple and its very easy to use.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] vince_junior:
can't agree more! after using go launcher for a few days, i went back to launcherpro, which is way faster and smoother than GoLauncher.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] _Sparks:
all of us have different needs,

why dont u install all the launchers you are considering and test all of them and finally choose your launcher.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] awitee:
ive already tried a bunch of launcher, and in my opinion :

LPP- good, but there are some bugs (crashes), i like their widgets, sense like preview lags when there are a lot of large widgets

regina- very cool, fast, easy to use, but no landscape mode (deal breaker for me)

go launcher- fast and reliable, i dont remember why i stopped using it, i think it was a widgets issue (widgets didnt update)

adw ex- my current launcher, fast, no bugs, lots of customization, sense like preview has NO lag at all, 0 crashes so far

also tried SPB shell 3d, but that was mainly for the purpose of trying it out, not great on the tab IMHO

and out of all, i think the once that used the less memory was go launcher, but i think i havent tried it long enough to make a conclusion
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] noelle1024:
i also use go launcher. smoother and easier to customize. i tried adw and launcher pro but it just didnt stick...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] vince_junior:
after playing around with go launcher for a few weeks, i uninstalled it. the ui is great and threre are many free themes availabale in the market, but it lags like crazy in the tab.

i went back to launcher pro. simple, no fuss, but works fast and smooth.

(now, im playing around with adw. will also try regina and zeam).
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] biffroy:
My favourite is adw, purely because you can remove the dock bar and set it in landscape mode, taking it a wee bit closer to that honeycomb look so coveted by us Sgt owners! On my galaxy s, it's go launcher all the way.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] DjIsD:
Out of all the Home Launchers available I always use ADW Ex, I have purchased every single one of them, still looking for that launcher that can do what ADW does and change the icons in the app drawer.

I must say though since I got my HTC Sensation I kept Sense on it which brought me back to SPB Shell. Neither have any icon customization but both are really nice. SPB Shell had bogged the Tab down so I took it off. Will try it again in the future I know.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] gwbard:
GO Launcher EX does that quite well (and for free) :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] DjIsD:
Thanks, I have that one but it doesn't really seem to do as much as the other home programs. Go Launcher Ex themes and additional customization kinda seems to be lacking compared to the other home programs. When I had my Acer tab I was brought back to that Go Launcher Ex for some theme but it never worked out the way I thought so I switched.

There is Crazy Home that does full themes and you can customize the icons in the app drawer. It also is compatible with ADW and many other Home Launcher themes, icon apps etc. I don't remember why I switched this last time after using it.,. Probably had spent way too much time messing around and need to get back to work. It all gets so addicting, but fun. :D

But im not really satisfied with it.

VTL Launcher

I am partial to VTL Launcher because I like to use my tab in landscape mode and have my floating apps at the bottom of the screen. Works very well for me. Only have three screens so I rarely get any lag. I like my home screens to be clean and resourceful
