[Thunderbolt General] tu3218:
Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to Grand Cayman Islands and Cozumel which is near Mexico. This is my first cruise so not exactly sure what it all means lol. Do you think it will work there? But when you say turn off data, is that as simple as pulling down my notification bar, quick settings, and turn Mobile Network off?(I'm running gingeremix 2.1).

I'm not too concerned about making calls or anything of that sort, just want to be able to play games and listen to music and not get charged anything. My best bet to just go into airplane mode? But if the phone does work there, just make sure data is off?
[Thunderbolt General] jgalan14:
Yup :-) or setting/ networks / and check off mobile networks
[Thunderbolt General] tu3218:
good to know! Is it safer to just put in airplane mode? I worry about charges and I know my whole family is going to tell me to leave my phone but I really want to bring it along. They don't understand lol.
[Thunderbolt General] BoulderGeek:
I traveled Mexico and Central America for six months, by motorcycle, last year.

Since I was going so long, I bought a cheap Telcel phone for $20 in Mexico. Then, i had it unlocked to use anyone's SIM card. I popped local prepaid cards in while living in Guatemala. It didn't work anywhere else, for me.

I also broke my netbook early on the trip, and used my 2008 iPod Touch as my main comms device. Skype with a headset mic and I was good in hotels and Internet cafes. I would think that you'd do the same with your HTC.
[Thunderbolt General] jschecter:
yup, i just put mine in airplane mode when i'm traveling. there's really no need to text or call when you're on vacation anyway.
[Thunderbolt General] Anon_Emus:
Couldn't you use WiFi for data if it is available?
[Thunderbolt General] FishyChips:
I was in China and I just rocked airplane mode and used wifi whenever it was available
[Thunderbolt General] Schedonnardus:
FYI, most cruise ships have WIFI on board, so theoretically you could still use your phones via WIFI. I say "theoretically," b/c the cruise i went on back in January charged out the rear for WIFI.

But like others have said, just disable the data. There is also a single button widget you can put on your home screen that will disable/enable with one touch, so that you don't have to go through the menus. Same for WIFI, airplane mode, bluetooth and GPS.
[Thunderbolt General] 18davinci:
I just left my data on when I went to Cozumel. Most of the time, the ship was out of cell service, however I received emails in bulk when the ship was close to land and in service. I did not have any charges on my bill. I don't recall getting any text messages at the time though.

Anyways, have fun.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] RRenaRR:
Hello,

my brand new LG P500 just arrived from amazon.de.

Everytime I try to make a call I have this popup saying "Divert activated" and the call is cancelled.

Already searched on the web but I can't find anything.

I tried multiple SIM cards (same network) and I always have the same error.

The SIM cards work well on other phones.

I do not live in Germany and neither my SIM card is German, but the cellphones is unlocked. But I wonder if there's a default configuration or something (I've done a factory reset and it wasn't a solution).

Any ideas?

Thank you

EDIT:

If I turn off and then turn on the phone I can make one call but then everything becomes the same again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sajjan:
Did u check setting ...calls...call forwarding ..? Disable those...

Hit the thanks button if I helped you

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetbinodray:
Just backup your data do factory reset.

If it's stock ROM. Go to Settings >privacy> factory reset

IF its custom ROM wipe cache.

Now you ready to spend on calls.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] RRenaRR:
I'll try that, thanks ;)

I'll let you know if it worked ;);)

I've already tried that before. Didn't change anything :/

Then it's your Network operator problem. Just call your operator and ask the deactivate code. Call divert deactivate code varies country to country and operator to operator. So call them ask them....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
I am aware that there's already a thread that is related to the tablet/dock battery drain. But I thought I'd make a poll to get an overview on the number of dock owners that are affected by this problem.

This thread is

not

meant for general discussion of the topic, for that please post here.

Even though the battery draining issue is also remarkably high when in standby, please vote only for bundles that drain when they're completely shut down! This will help to exclude every bug that could be software or ROM related.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jerrykur:
Where are the over a week or 1-2, 2-3 week options?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wintergon:
I don't think my drain is out of the ordinary. I have a had a couple of programs run rampid and kill the battery but it seems OK. I would like to know how to tell the battery state of each? Also I would say that when charging the dock/tablet combined the charging brick gets really warm.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Well, I don't know but I'd call that no unreasonable battery drain. Or do you think this is abnormal?

That's why I only want to list the devices that drain when completely shut down ;) So no apps can run rampid.

To show both of your battery states, use Dual battery widget (also available at the market).

About the warm charging brick, I noticed that too, but I'm not too concerned since I owned a lot of chargers that got this warm while charging...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wintergon:
I'm grabbing the Dual Battery widget...thanks for that tip. I'll check with a full shut down.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iba21:
hi guyz, i have a little question for you

does someone have an hd2 with android witch is overclocked to over 1ghz? 1.5ghz too? and, is it a warried operation or cpu has a low overhead in that situation?

3rd and last question, if i put my hd2 in 1.5ghz mode, and force a bench test, may i broke my hd2 with going upper than cpu Tjunction or there's a system protection witch shuts down all the hardware else the cpu is too close to Tjunction? (like normally pc cpu)

i don't know if snapdragon has system protection, so, i don't want to try to fuse my hd2 (it's my main phone)

and, for users who whant to know, yep, i'm using wp7 because it's smoother than android, but, if i try to use android with that overlock, may it can be smooth like wp7, maybe

and, please, don't say that android is smooth, because it has some micro freeze in the continuity of the animation, and i hate that

thank you for your answers ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
I have used setcpu, overlocked to max, didnt brick my hd2 :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iba21:
are you using it now? in 1.5ghz mode?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] joeppis:
thank you so much
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
You can set your clock to max, but make a profile to downclock your cpu speed to ~500 MHZ when it heats up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iba21:
oh, you could make a profile with downlcloking when cpu goes to a specific temperature? :eek:

nice, what's the tjunction of snapdragon? is 50°C too hight?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
not sure, to be honest, I don't overclock my device. too scared to do so :/

but when I did overclock it I set the temperature to 41-42 Celsius.

you can tell that I got a lot of high temp warnings, safe is better than sorry.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] YZ:
no, not using it, uninstalled it, because it makes my phone randomly reboot + it can brick your phone :P (little chance for that) but me no like overheating :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Delano.888:
How to get to 1.5?

SetCPU only let's me go till 1.2 ghz..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
You need a kernel that allows overclocking
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
different builds use different kernels, and each support different max CPU speeds. If the kernel supports overclocking, the developer usually mentions than in the first post. Note that Some kernels/builds do not support any kind of overclocking, so the max CPU speed would be ~988 MHz
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
So, it seems there's a lot of development that has gone stagnant for the Tab (CDMA especially) so I was looking for a way to roll CWM 3 and a specific zImage into a zip file that could be flashed from any version of CWM. Just not sure if it would require compiling a kernel with the version of CWM that I want, or if there's a way to get them both lined up in a zip. If anyone has some insight, i'd appreciate it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
It would be helpful for gsm tabbers to know how to make a cwm zip file to flash modems too. Help please?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0sh:
you need to sing the zip to be able to flash from CWM

anyone can use one of my themes zip just delete everything inside it and put yours ;)

thanks to Gang for this though

or you can simply follow this guide (http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-sign-apk-zip-files/)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja.tiger26:
hi im thinking about getting a hd7 with windows phone 7 and being a ex android user am thinking of something different so got a few random questions that have probably been asked a few thousand times.

1. wp7 looks a bit plain in general lots of text etc, can any kind of a background be added by options or a dev firmware.

2. can normal aps be found e.g a full working facebook application with chat etc, or just its own built in offering

3. what would you prefer android or wp7

4. is this best on market or have i missed some newer ones (uk)

5. anything good you can do with wp7 worth telling me

thanks all who help :D its appreciated
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja.tiger26:
any one with any advice on this handset or wp7 any help would be appreciated. im very stuck on it lol
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbonics:
1. Wait for the Mango update in the fall.

2. Full on Facebook app in the marketplace, although it doesn't have chat integration (yet). Mango will also integrate Facebook even moreso than it already is.

3. WP7, without question, although android can do things WP7 can't (yet)

4. HD7 is an OK phone, but you'll hear higher praises from the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 owners. I've not gotten to toy with either of them so I do not know.

5. "Anything good?" The entire user experience. Lots of great apps like Kindle, USA today, tons of good quality games, both free and paid.

The whole thing is awesome. 25,000 apps and growing!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahpsphacker:
There is no official way to change the background. You can dev unlock your phone in order to change background colors and tile colors. Most big name apps are available now. I prefer WP7 for the stellar keyboard and common feeling of speed throughout the OS. Even Android dual-core phones can't compare to the pinch and zoom on Windows Phone. This attention to detail gives me hope for the platform to grow as well as iPhone and Android have. The Focus and HD7 are the best IMO, but you may want to wait for the new line of handsets to come out this Fall. The biggest difference about Windows Phone is the feel that significant effort was put into the look and feel of the OS. Everything feels part of the Metro design which I really enjoy. Some of the tools to tie all parts of the OS together like deep linking of apps look very promising.
[Galaxy S II General] roakes:
Hey all,

Bit of a strange one, I switch my wifi and mobile data off at home as I have my laptop for email and don't need my phone for anything on the net. Strange thing is now and again I'll randomly get an email notification so somehow some data has gotten through, as I use Extended Controls to rename the APN to cut off the mobile data it can only be wifi and as it happens I noticed tonight the wifi was on, I flicked over to look at the state of Extended Controls widget and it was on...then switched off by itself.

Is this an app doing this or something Android is doing or Samsungs variant?

I am using VillainROM 1.4

Any ideas?

Thanks

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willgetin:
This phone belonged to a friend. He says he didn't try to root it or anything. It just stopped working. Yeah, sure. Right. I believe that one.

When turning on, the phone goes straight into fastboot. No buttons will respond. The only way to do anything is to take out the battery to turn it off.

Today is day 2 with it. I did not try anything yesterday since I only had it for a couple of hours. I left it on my desk overnight. When I came in this morning, I turned it on and it booted up, loaded, and worked (without the sim or an SD card). I went through the tutorial and set it up with my Gmail over wifi. Then, I powered it off to put my sim in it. Upon turning it on, it went right back into Fastboot again. Nothing else I tried, including removing the sim and SD card made a difference.

I discovered that if I hold the Vol down button while powering on, I can get into Hboot. Again though, NO buttons will respond. I put the stock p15img.zip on an sd card and it loaded through hboot. The volume buttons worked here to load that rom. Upon reboot, right back to fastboot. No buttons work.

I have monkeyed with it all day. No luck. I have the appropriate HTCDrivers on the PC, adb does not see it.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Bluegrassman:
Last night I did something that may have been stupid. After my phone shut down on low battery, I restarted it twice following successive shutdowns. I did this to ensure the battery was completely drained because battery life has been noticeably shorter lately. After plugging into the charger, the phone did not begin charging and would not power on. I had to do a battery pull to get things working again. Is this a normal side effect of my ignorant action in draining the battery?

Unrooted, stock other than a few mainstream apps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ranklepup:
Yes this can be considered normal. There has to be enough battery for the phone to switch into charging mode and it appears you didn't have enough :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bluegrassman:
Thanks. That makes sense.

I'm having problems with HTC mail. It doesn't want to load any email from my yahoo account. It was working fine out of the box till yesterday. I did restarts, factory restores, etc... Still not loading. Just wondering if any of you have this problem.

Same issue here. it worked for less than a week. I've had to rest to Yahoo mail android app.
[HTC Sensation] jrwingate6:
Maybe it's trying to say Yahoo mail sucks? :D
[HTC Sensation] Evo_Pimpin:
When you have the mail app open hit menu, settings, send & receive, download past email and make sure you have something other than 1 day selected. I'm using 14 days for my work email and seems to be just the right amount.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Who uses yahoo? ;)
[HTC Sensation] DeezNotes:
I read about this a few days ago. Yahoo did what Hotmail did and is requiring a "plus" account to use IMAP features or something like that.

This was the initial reason I switched to gmail years ago. If I can remember, the solution is to use the Yahoo app as mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] mynlal:
Guys I had the same issue, it was working out of the box and then stopped working here is what worked for me.

Delete your yahoo mail account and create a new one, this time use a wrong password(I know it doesnt make any sense) then the phone will tell you AUTHENTICATION FAILED(since you put the wrong password). Now put the correct password and it will work.

Let me know if still an issue. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Hi all, anyone get this to work successfully? I had no problem connecting to vpn on my Evo 4G using 3g, but the Evo 3D keeps failing to connect through 3g, all the settings are the same. It comes back with a message: "Server hung up. It is possible that you are behind a firewall that prevents you from connecting to the server. Do you want to try again?". Well, I'm not behind a firewall, and as I said before, all settings are the same. Connecting to a vpn through Wifi works fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] chris44gw:
Exact same problem. I can connect successfully when I'm on wifi (wifi at my house connecting to work) but fails when on 3g.
[HTC EVO 3D] kthejoker20:
same here

10 char
[HTC EVO 3D] TX2000:
I have the same priblem over here. I can connect via wifi but not 3g
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
I'm guessing if this is true for everyone, then it'll be fixed in an update. This was the case with the Samsung Galaxy Tab too, and they fixed it after a couple of months.
[HTC EVO 3D] czarphanguye:
I can connect using a different wifi spot or over 4G, but not on 3G, something about a firewall. Using dd-wrt on a router to set-up the connection from a EVO 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] sf103100:
same here no go on 3g wifi is working fine
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
Same here.

I tried VPN in phone as well as several tethered methods.

4G Worked fine as well as Touch Pro 2.

I tried setting Proxies to 0 as well (The hack for better 3G performace)

And still no go.
[HTC EVO 3D] daneurysm:
What if you erase those proxies that people remove to supposedly get better data speeds?

They are proxies, after all, and i had to remove them from my non-phone-geek buddy's Evo Shift just so the Sirius app would stream.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
What do you think I said in the prior post. That doesn't work either.

EVO 4G works with the same Proxies set Normal or Blanked out.

Also tried encrypted and not.

I also factory reset the phone, because there was a thread that said it ran better, so I figured what the heck.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
One other TidBit I noticed today.

It works on 4G !!

[HTC EVO 3D] chris5h:
Same issue here. VPN connects easily on the very spotty 4G service here in So Cali and works great on WiFi but nothing with 3G. Very frustrating. Had an Epic up until Wednesday and never had any issue like this on that phone. Sad face :(
[HTC EVO 3D] sf103100:
is there any fix on this ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Not as of yet, that I know of. I also have this same issue on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android 3.1, but it won't work on 4G/LTE, just on wifi.
[HTC EVO 3D] mrrogers1:
It is extremely odd that it just doesn't work on 3G... I wonder what tree we need to bark up to get a resolution. To this? What we need are paying Wifi tether users to complain about it. Paying monthly and not even able to use the phone to connect to their VPN connection..

It has to be something simple too, 1 setting somewhere that is causing the blockage. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] harolds:
Sound like your data provider is blocking vpn on 3G.

I have a simular issue with AT&T and my APN settings. Removing the proxy server in the APN allows for VPN otherwise it doesn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
No, that's not it. It's device specific. Thanks for the input though.
[HTC EVO 3D] Albert Poon:
I don't have any problem in both 3G and Wi-Fi mode however
[HTC EVO 3D] chris44gw:
I hope someone figures this out. Very frustrating.
[HTC EVO 3D] peekeesh:
Is this fixed? I cannot connect to VPN when using 3g/4g but when i'm on wifi, it connects just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] harolds:
This is not a phone issue, this is caused by your provider blocking the required ports needed to VPN/PPTP.
[HTC EVO 3D] peekeesh:
Thank you for the reply. The reason I asked is I did search regarding the VPN and some evo 4g users mentioned they were able to get VPN to work. And when they switched to evo 3d, it no longer connects.

I guess i can check it out with my evo 4g to see if I can get it to connect and verify it myself. But i have to replace the digitizer first as my evo 4g touchscreen no longer responds to touch.

And again, thanks for your response. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
No, it's not. It's the programming in the phone's software that prevents it. Same thing happened with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" before they released a patch to fix it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
Do you happen to have a link showing how it was fixed for the tab? Search seems to be down atm :(.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
No I don't, it was an update from Samsung a few months after they released that tab. I just know about it because I have one and had to deal with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
It should work on 4G. Just 3G is broken.

[HTC EVO 3D] jay24k:
I talked with Sprint high level support and I was told they are looking into it. Currently they only support vpn over non encryption which I told them was the dumbest thing I heard. Do they even know what vpn is?

Don't feel bad. We have iphones at our work that do not work either. Apparently it is a 3g issue now. It used to work and now is broken. If sprint can break it, they will.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
It's never worked on 3G on the EVO 3D (Encryption on or off from the Phone or Passthrough from PC). Works fine on EVO 4G. And it works on my wifes Touch Pro 2. I believe it's in the Kernel or Radio.
[HTC EVO 3D] mattcoz:
Recently upgraded to the EVO 3D from the Hero, I used VPN over 3G quite often so I was pretty surprised when it didn't work on this. I can't get it to work on 4G either. Sprint better get this fixed.
