[HTC Wildfire S] Snake_A:
So .. i havent yet understand whats the difference between wcdma and GSM. Major differences as i read is that wcdma supports 3g and Gsm does not. I tried the GSM auto (PRL) option and i still have HSDPA mobile internet... Im confused.

Need some help.
[HTC Wildfire S] johnHooke:
gsm signal is easier to maintain than wcdma one wich drains more battery mainly because (like in my country) the coverage of wcdma is weaker so the phone keeps serching for signal on and on. i have mine set for gsm only and battery life is much better

CyanogenMod "Use only 2G networks"

Hi.

I use CyanogenMod (CM 7.2) and have the setting "Use only 2G networks" under the "Mobile network settings".

Isn't that the same as this?
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Yes
[HTC Wildfire S] scott_doyland:
No it is not. Use only 2g means it will NEVER use 3g at all

[HTC Sensation] KiaOrana:
Hi Guys,

I am having a little issue with my sensation and I want to see if it happens to you as well.

When playing music with the stock HTC player, you have the option to chose sound enhancement, which actually works really well.

My problem is that every time I start listening to music, I need to go and apply the sound enhancement settings, the phone does not remember my preferences.

Does it happens to you too?
[HTC Sensation] messer19:
Yes. Probably a bug.
[HD2 General] wouternet:
Okay guys, am I screwed?

I tried putting android on this HD2.

I successfully installed HSPL 2.08 HSPL (So NO 2.08.0000)

Then I tried installing MAGLDR 1.13, just by executing the ROMUtilityUpdater.exe.

Clicked the first checkbox, then the 2nd, and then that 'Update' thingy.

It was going to updating from 1.72.XXXXX to 2.00.0.000 (or something)

I had it connected through Activesync (WinXP).

It was ready in 30seconds, instead of the normal 10 minutes.

Now it just hangs on the White HTC bootscreen.

I tried doing a Task29, but in the RGB Bootloader (USB connected) screen it won't connect to ActiveSync. I Ran it anyway, but still no Windows or MAGLDR.

Do I need to install a different Radio? If so how do I do that and where can I find it?

I am downloading a stock WinMo 6.5 Rom (vodafone branded, from HTC.com)

Thanks for all the help in advance!
[HD2 General] viperek027:
had simillar problem. I would just install the latest Windows ROM 3.03 but thru SD card (Download official 3.03 ROM for Your phone, extract it, change the nbh file name to LEOIMG, put it on Your SD card, Switch the phone on holding volume button down, and then go with the instructions on the screen) cuz it changes Your SPL, then install HSPL 4. After that install CLK and CLOCKWORK and then NAND Your device with clk version android.

Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021837 if You dont know how to install clK. It is a bit complicated but if You are a bit computer literate You should be ok.
[HD2 General] wouternet:
Okay, thanks!

I installed a stock vodafone rom, it is booting now!

so where do i find 2.15 pesky radio 2.15 rom?

I installed HSPL using HSPL in the first place

[HTC Sensation] Groundzero87:
Hello I had my Sensation since Saturday an the Wlan connection in Landscapemode is very bad!

Is there any Solution to fix that problem or is my Sensation defect?

With my HD2 I doesnt had this problem!
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
I have the same problem, when i go landscape i lose wifi conection...I dont have the solution, only solution i think its to flash the custom Rom with some tweak or radio, but for that we need the s-off... :(
[HTC Sensation] Groundzero87:
Or the Antenna is very bad but I hope that you have right! But I think it is a bad Antenna
[HTC Sensation] Jayedamina:
This ongoing problem is really annoying, I can't even play modern combat 2 BP multiplayer over wifi in my own house. I really hope HTC can address this issue.
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
maybe, i don't see any info about that, and you ?? its not logic, why i have the good reception in portrait mode and no in the landscape ??:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Groundzero87:
The issue is not only in landscape mod when you in portrait mode and you do your hand on the top of the phone the issue is there!
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
okey, thanks i will test that ;)
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
I just bought my Sensation and I don't have the problem you guys mentioned.

I even tried covering the top and bottom with my hands and only difference was one level of signal icon drop on a public cafe's wifi.

My phones Software number is : 1.28.708.2

Baseband 10.43.9007.00U_10.11.9007.19_M

Kernel is: 2.6.35.10-ga76ba0d May18
[HTC Sensation] Jayedamina:
I've stumbled upon a strange workaround, if I cover the camera lense fully with the tip of my finger while in landscape I get three bars and if remove it no bars:confused: I've played online like this for about 10 minutes with no loss of signal:cool:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcusitsjeff:
Hey guys i have a bit of a problem. I tried rooting my phone with the one touch root and when i went to turn off my phone and restart it, it would get stuck on the Samsung screen. This worried me for a bit until i read more and found out how to get into download mode.

so now my phone goes to download mode, however Odin does not recognize my phone. when i plug my cable into my phone i hear the "ding-dung" sound, but nothing shows up. Ive read about trying other cable, but none of the other cables i tried worked.

And the current driver i have on my computer is the one from the Samsung website, and i also have.

what could my problem be?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
The first time you use Odin it has to get more drivers from the net. Check in to see if it is still looking for those. That can take like 30 minutes sometimes. Then if it is anything like my laptop Odin only works in that usb port.

Check this and also try another cable and other ports until you see Windows searching for drivers.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiutehcuhtli:
Had that exact same problem Saturday night.

It was recommended to me to go watch the qbking videos, which I did.

He has a walk through on using Odin and it took me through the process step by step and once I figured out how to use it was very pleased with how easy it was.

Other things I noticed were:

a) don't use stock Samsung Cable (I believe this is emphasized in the video)

b) get Odin ready to use with the .pit file and the .md5 file and THEN plug the phone in. I don't know why this affected me, but it did.

c) try every USB port available. Some of mine didn't work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009997

This is the link to the qbking thread. Good Luck! That's incredibly unnerving until you see that boot screen again!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
You can also try downloading the Samsung USB drivers from their support site. Install those drivers, then plug the phone in and see if you have better results.

This is probably covered in those videos, but thought it was worth mentioning...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostmypistons:
Sometimes rebooting the pc helps
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xiutehcuhtli:
Just realized I posted twice. I wasn't really trying to pad post stats...

As far as downloading the drivers, I believe the videos DO cover this. Just make sure you get the right drivers. I actually downloaded both because the 64 bit drivers didn't work with my 64 bit Windows 7, don't know why. The 32 bit on the other hand worked without problems.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcusitsjeff:
Thanks for all the help guys. I finally got it working, and i flashed Syndicate on it, and have the Emotionless beast theme on it.

so far im loving my rooted phone, and now i know pretty much everything i need to know about rooting my phone. lol

How do I properly install Savaged-Zen RC 4 with the latest kernal to my HTC EVO? I am stuck at the screen with the monkey and the clouds...
[HTC Wildfire S] drgry:
Hello,

I want to use portable Wi-Fi hotspot on my phone to connect to my laptop in places where public wi-fi is not available, or to connect to two computers to each other. And it seems to be working.

But I have a problem. I do not want to use mobile network to access Internet for those computers. I want only to exchange data between phone and computer, or between computers themselves.

But every time I switch on hotspot, 3G connection switches on automatically, even if it is switched off on purpose. I know this is intended use of hotspot, but I have a question:

Is there a way to prevent phone switching 3G network on in wi-fi hotspot mode, or just preventing data traffic over 3G?

Or I am missing the point completely?
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
The application is not intended for such usage; all it does is route traffic between connected wlan-clients and the carrier's apn. The phone itself has the ip-address 192.168.1.1 during this setup, but it is not listening on any ports that would be useful for your setup (ie 'cifs/samba').
[HTC Wildfire S] drgry:
I do not know if I do understand you but here are the facts:

I connect two dell laptops to portable wi-fi hotspot on my wildfire s:

one is : 192.168.1.135

other : 192.168.1.185

I can ping one from another. If I share a folder in one (.135) and go to others(.185) "Search for computers or people" I see all files in shared folder and can do all the usual operations over them (edit, move...)

Also if I install Remote Web Desktop from Market on my phone I can access phone through web interface.

In a word, I can do all things as on "normal" wi-fi network ( and I promise it is the only network around here ) except all the time I have 3G switched on. And I do not want to do that because I see my network data traffic going up.

So, as I see things, my only problem is unwanted 3G traffic.

Help?
[HTC Wildfire S] LeeCHeSSS:
Ah, but you did not mention that you had installed a seperate application to open up a port for the webinterface.

This however does not change the intended usage for the mobile wifi hotspot application!
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
hey...you can try this:

1. go to your mobile network settings

2. create a new APN, a dummy one

3. set the new APN as default

4. launch your wifihotspot

I did not test it with 2 pcs but, when u launch wifihotspot, 3g no longer comes on and my pc still connected to the wireless network without any problems.

Let us know your results

Cheers,
[HTC Wildfire S] ravijokhun:
Hey,

I ran more test on this issue. The previous posted solution works like a charm.

I was able to use the wifihotspot as a wireless access point:

1. 2 or more PCs can communicate with each other (browse folders)

2. If one of the PCs has internet access, it shares to the rest of the PCs

3. If one of the PCs has an ethernet connection to a server, all other PCs also get connection to the server

For 3. to work, you will need to brigde the local area connection with the wireless connection on the PC that has cabled ethernet connection. Also browsing folders will work only if you use \\server ip (\\servername does not work).

I will try getting DNS access via the hotspot later.

Hope this helps

Great concept, however under the Permissions tab in the Market it says it prevents the device from sleeping. Is this a big thing to be worried about or?

Can the device still go into sleep mode, yes or no? I ask because usually I let my devices go to sleep.

Thanks

No problem about that. The motion detection service was disable when the screen is off or when the device sleep.

Hi there

nice app

some feedback

im trying the free one

i have to wait till the onscreen popup goes away before i can flick it again?

sometimes i flick to increase but it decreases?

sometimes once i flick and then lock my phone and when im putting my phone down. it vibrates and changes the settting again..this is after i pressed power to lock screen

hope these bugs will be fixed soon

great idea and app
[Android Apps and Games] Marinelli.Tv:
Hi thank you for feedback.

* The motion service was disable when the brightness dialog appear. But I can add a feature to close the current dialog if the service detect a new motion.

* Sometime, if your motion is not perfect, the service detect a negative force before positive force in the same interval of time... It's very complex to fix the motion...

* Sometime, the close event was detect after the motion detection process. I think it's possible to fix that problem..
