[S740, S743 General] staatsof:
So I've had this S743 for 3 days now and I thought I had it setup correctly to use wifi for data comm.

wifi enabled and selected to use my home network. I can see the radio tower status icon.

Under the comm manager data connection is off.

I have a very simple $45/mo plan with no data plan.

Over the last 2 days I have been surfing the web a bit did some email tests with my ISP and used the on board GPS app which is horrible. Not heavy usage but experimentation to see if I like how the phone works.

Then after 2 days I get an email from AT&T that I have extremely high data usage exceeding my account limit and that I should sign up for a data plan at once.

$29 over 2 days for this little bit of fluff? A total of 2,900kb in data.:eek:

So I call up AT&T and they tell me this and that and want me to sign up for a plan which I may do.

But I want to be able to know that the datacomm is happening via WIFI when I can see it's in service.

They also told me that all GPS data is forced through 3G and bypasses WIFI???

Can anyone here give me an idea about what I may be doing wrong and whether AT&T is correct about the GPS service?

Is there a better GPS app that doesn't do this? This one pretty much stinks anyway. A resolution of 1000 meters doesn't cut it.

AT&T also informed me that I can't have a smart phone without a data contract. Really? I've had one for 6 years.

Thanks for any light you shed on the subject.

One th I have subsequently found out is that if data connection is off and wifi is off then when I go into IE and start surfing it does bring up pages. Then when I go back to the Comm Manager the Data Connection is still off for an instant and then it automatically turns itself on as though it had been turned on by use of IE and the status was just being updated.

Is there any way to stop this?
[S740, S743 General] ashasaur:
The only way to completely stop data usage is to delete the APNs from within the Settings->Connections dialog.
[S740, S743 General] staatsof:
What exactly are APNs? I don't see anything labeled that way in that section on my phone.

Thanks for the reply.
[S740, S743 General] GorillaHuman:
Try to download the NoData app; google it. I believe it's freeware. Toggle all connections to "Disabled" and that should do the trick..

About the GPS; all I can think of is that the QuickGPS app (under desktop accessoires or whatever it's called in english) automatically downloads new info about the GPS locations.
[S740, S743 General] staatsof:
Thank you.

I did manage to delete the APN and that did work but now I've decided to keep this phone, put it on an AT&T GO-Phone plan and add a very limited data plan. So I will be trying to find a better way to make certain it doesn't always automatically go for the GSM even when you have it turned off.

I looked at your suggestion but it sounds like it conflicts with netframe 3.5 which I have installed.

Hallo!

Does anyone know he crop factor of the Xperia X1's camera? The size of the image sensor would do as well.

The real focal length is 5 mm - afaik - but want to know the equivalent for easier comparing pictures of different cameras.

OnLive is a cloud computing, gaming-on-demand platform: the games are synchronized, rendered, and stored on remote servers and delivered via the Internet.

The service is available using the OnLive Game System, PCs running Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7) and Intel-based Macs with OS X 10.5.8 or later. A low-end computer, as long as it can play video, may be used to play any kind of game since the game is computed on the OnLive server. For that reason, the service is being seen as a competitor for the console market. All games on the service are available in 720p format. OnLive recommends an Internet connection of 5 Mbit/s or faster, and a 3 Mbit/s connection meets the minimum system requirements.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Lucky_Charms:
Thanks for this. It works well on my Tmobile tab running latest overcome gingerbread. Can't wait for this service when I can actually play it from my tab. I'm wondering if they'll issue a controller so that I can use my hdmi dock and play from my couch?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nscosta:
Hi, please go to the website www.onlive.com for more info.

Thanks for your reply
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] cheatman:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to mention that the file posted above is just a "viewer", not the full Android Onlive app. That means you can log in, check out the overall performance and experience of using Onlive on your device, but you cannot actually play any games. You can watch others in the arena and see what it would be like, though.

Many thanks to the uploader for the viewer! Works fine on my Overcome Hermes SGT, though connecting from Europe through a VPN to access the service really kicks it down...

Great job,

I got a rooted USC Desire and have edited some of the xml file to make it look generic and use it for open mobile. I replaced the telephony.db so the mms setting will be there for open mobile, but when i factory reset the phone the telephony.db reverted back to original which is usc telephony.db. What should i do to make the values in telephony.db stick. Or is there another xml or source file i need to edit which feeds the value to the telephony.db?

[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
I like some of the Themes listed in the Wiki but one question I have is can these be installed over the stock rooted Sprint ROM or do I have to flash a different ROM first?

Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] drob311:
Most of the "themes" are for cm7. There are a few for stock/stockesque (mik roms). In order to use a theme or rom you need to be rooted, s-off, with a custom recovery installed.

Always double/triple check what flavor (sense or aosp) of the theme you are going to apply... Mixing and matching sense and aosp can make your phone act silly...
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Dread 7us:
I would suggest a different ROM not stock rooted Sprint ROM. Install a ROM compatible with whatever theme (sense 1.0 ROM if its a theme made for it or cm7 if its theme chooser app). Don't try flashing a sense 1.0 theme over sense 2.1 for example, its not going to work.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] medicmcripps:
deleteing themes

is there anyway to delete themes off your phone ? i have not as of yet seen a way to do this anyone have an idea?

htc evo 4g shift
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] drob311:
It depends on what theme... if its a flashable zip theme, you SHOULD be able to flash the original rom over it without harm (you will have to delete bloat/apps again) but if the rom contains wipe scripts you will start over from scratch... cm7 themes are changeable in the theme chooser...

Lately I have been experiencing a multitouch problem in my xperia play.

I was playing a touchscreen game when the controls were lagging and would get stuck on the screen. I thought it was just the game but to make sure I downloaded this multitouch tester application.

I will explain to you what you should do to replicate the problem.

1. Touch the screen with a finger (Finger A)

2. While keeping Finger A on the screen touch the screen with another finger (Finger B)

3. Do not remove finger A while tapping the screen with Finger B

4. The colors of the dots that indicate the fingers on the screen should change for Finger B after many taps with finger B the application will crash.

What is happening is that every time you remove then press Finger B while keeping Finger A pressed it thinks it is a new touch point think you have 3 or more fingers.

If you use this application to test. You will see it is giving Finger B a different ID every time it touches. This application does not Force close but it starts finger B at ID 0 when it reaches the maximum.

I did a google search and found this information.

http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/8b14591ead5608a0

^^ That is specific to the Xperia Play so you might want to read through it.

I may be able to get a video of it later.
[Xperia Play General] Nhialor:
You pointed me here from my keyboard problem. But my problem also occurs when I'm using just one hand. If I am just using my right thumb and press the delete key, it will sometimes register both the delete key and the button z. Same occurs for example with p and q.

[Xperia Play General] d2theaher69:
i used that apk and multitouch works fine for 4 fingers on my r800x after 4 fingers the app force closes on me
[Xperia Play General] Deleted member 2488575:
but have you tried what I said about leaving 1 finger on at all times then tapping the screen with the other finger?

This can get very bad in racing games. You are holding the accelerator and tapping the brakes. Eventually the controls go crazy.
[Xperia Play General] Sat45:
And 1 year later... I have exactly the same issue on my Sony Xperia U. After 3 taps of my second finger, multitouch didn't detect anymore my second finger.

My Xperia mini pro havn't this problem, this is very troublesome. :(

[XPERIA X8 General] terracuk:
Hi guys...

quick noob question. I did a search and couldnt find anything similar so sorry if it's been asked before.

I have my X8 rooted with xrecovery installed.. Trouble is my fones touchscreen has stopped working at the bottom of screen. My carrier is giving me a new handset on Monday. Can I do an xrecovery backup on this handset then root the new fone, install xrecovery and do a restore of that backup onto the new handset.. Would there be any issues with the handsets having different IMEI's etc...? Or can I just restore the backup?

cheers

Ray
[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
You can restore it safley. Cuz some roms here are also provided as backups ;)
[XPERIA X8 General] terracuk:
Sweet! Thanks for the reply.. Will backup the fone before the courier arrives and restore onto the new unit, will save me a lot of time putting everything back over again :D
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I need a GSM TA backup to attempt to flash to a r800x that in order to investigate a potential unlock capability this might have. The requirements of the TA are thus:

Phone must be currently bootloader locked

Phone must be unlockable through official Ericsson methods

Probably looking for r800i or r800a TA files here

Basically I'm just looking for a TA from a GSM play that can be unlocked through the official site, but currently is not. Thanks so much!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Before unlocking my bootloaders (R800i here), I made a TA backup. Expect a PM :)
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
You, sir, are awesome. I'll do what I need to do and post back some results tonight. These are the steps I'm going to take:

Flash your TA against my CDMA phone.

Use omnius to identify the phone and get the IMEI (which should be yours now).

Attempt to unlock the bootloader using your IMEI.

Reflash the CDMA TA file.

Hope for the best!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:

[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
And the update you all were waiting for.......

and....

Brick.

The flash was successful. No errors in Omnius, but the phone is now completely unresponsive. No bootloader light, no flashing light. Absolute brick.

So... here's to calling Verizon for a replacement! Wish me luck with that!
[Xperia Play Android Development] ace518:
That sucks. Good effort, and thank you for trying. Let us know how the replacement call goes.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
I'm awfully sorry :(
[Xperia Play Android Development] gergenhime:
yikes, i was afraid of that...hopefully you can get it replaced without much difficulty, either way thanks for taking one for the team
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
thanks a lot for trying... looks like i'll have to live one more month without play... but i'll try to keep kernel development, and help in freexperia project... and i'll work on this too...
[Xperia Play Android Development] gwaine:
Mills...thanks for your efforts!
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
No problem guys!

Replacement is on its way, but I'll have to wait till Thursday. Until then, you'll see me frequenting the Eris forum... lol. Yay for backups.

So at least this tells us some important things about the process. It appears that at least one major level, the hardware is not the same between the GSM and CDMA variants.

I still think we got this though. It's only a matter of time before a new root exploit breaks through or Blagus comes up with a way to tell the bootloader it's unlocked without having to actually give in a key.
[Xperia Play Android Development] Logseman:
Blagus, you're trying to unlock the bootloader... but isn't it contrary to what Bin4ry said is your policy?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15253598&postcount=217
[Xperia Play Android Development] Blagus:
i know... but a small internal test isn't bad... and a share of unique TA file to a user or two (meaning it's useless to others)... but i believe more and more that it'll never even happen since it's all hashed, and a key which purpose is unknown, in security zone... (probably bl key hash)

i understand that SE would be pissed off, and some freexperia members could get in trouble... if theory proves to be true i'll try my best, but cdma phones seem to be different. not accepting gsm radio files, brick after writing GSM TA... plus, probably losing cdma after unlock fix, and verizon users are under contract, right?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
I personally don't think that SE would be pissed about the community circumventing the security on the CDMA Xperia because I think they they truly wanted to embrace the open community. I think that if there is a reason behind why we don't have an official unlock solution yet, it's because Verizon wants to keep it as locked down as possible. I mean what does Ericsson have to lose? Nothing. In fact they only stand to gain sales from the users like me who only purchased this device because of the prospect of a first party unlock solution. Sony has their hands tied. Verizon thinks they have a lot to lose (the warranty and trouble shooting issues, the tethering, etc.).

Its unfortunate but the sad truth is that we will more than likely have to wait for another root exploit to drop and then use the second init method that the milestones and droidx's are using to boot CM7 currently. That will be our saving grace and the only reason to keep the device.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zaith1234:
Sorry to hear it didn't go so well.

After you recovered the TA from the GSM back up. Did the phone reboot if not were you able to run Identify against the new TA to see if a IMEI was populated?
[Xperia Play Android Development] Mills00013:
The flash itself had no issues and looked like it went through with issue. And it was still in flash mode at that point. So I went to identify, which of course asks you to unplug and replug (whilst holding the back button to keep it in flash mode) and when I plugged it back in, thats when I realized that it wasnt responding at all. Not even the green light.

So to answer your question, it wasnt possible to run identify against the phone after the flash had occurred.
[Xperia Play Android Development] zaith1234:
Thanks for the answer.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Evo_Shift:
I like some of the Sense Themes listed in the Wiki but one question I have is can these be installed over the stock rooted Sprint ROM or do I have to flash a different ROM first? The reason I asked is some of them specifically say you cannot install over the stock ROM but others do not give any warning and simply say it is a Sense based theme.

Also I am not even sure this is worth mentioning but I will cover my bases. I assume with Themes I have to stick with the version of sense I am using as well right? Like I probably can't flash a Sense 1.0 theme onto the stock Sense 2.1 right?

Thanks.

Just so you know, not inviting comparisons or a flame war. The more Tegra phones shipped, the more development.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr mystery:
Agreed more Tegra phones the better, looks alright not quite as pretty as the G2X though :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
The only thing the Samsung has for it is the SuperAmoledPlus screen. Without that, I wouldn't go near Samsung and their crappy phones. (SGS2 seems to be pretty sweet though hardware wise).

[Edit]

Not saying I'm not happy about the Tegra Phones. All phones should have Tegra Processors. I really hope Tegra becomes the mainstream GPU to use so it makes development for Android easier. Coding a single app for 400 phones is stupid. We need standards....

I'm just saying I love the G2x and the above doesn't interest me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c19932:
Yup, only thing that makes SGS2 stands out of the screen, which I have to say is ****ing gorgeous.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I agree. It would be awesome if Tegra became the Android standard. That way we would have to worry about compatibility issues. That being said. There are a lot of other things the Samsung has going for it besides there Super AMOLED displays. The GSII arguably has the best camera out of any mobile device and it definitely performs in low light situations better than anything else. Miriam from Engadget even posted low light photos to her Twitter account because she was so ammazed how good they looked. Samsung is also moving in the right direction with Touch Wiz whether any die hard vanilla Android peeps want to admit it. Every version is getting less and less intrusive while adding very nice features to the Android OS. HTC on the other hand is going in the wrong direction with Sense. They are making it more and more intrusive with resource hogging eye candy that serves no purpose. Lastly Samsung is playing nicely with the DEV community by unlocking its bootloaders and giving phones to devolopers so they can do there thing. Samsung is no longer the same company it was back in the Behold II days. They are now at the top of the list when it comes to making nice looking devices with the power to back it up.
