[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
Hello guys:)

Any one knows why I get this message not registered on network if I try to make any call whenever I switch to WCDMA only even though I have a signal. :(

I'm not using AT&T sim card, but I can use it just fine with GSM band. :confused:

Thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
Sounds like network registration failure. Chances are your service doesn't support AT&T 3G/WCDMA bands and when you're trying to force it to WCDMA it won't allow you to register on AT&T's 3G because you don't have their service.

If you're using T-Mobile, for example - you can only register via GSM/EDGE connections as they don't share compatible 3G connections
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottcwhite:
is there a way around this ?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
:( Sounds not good at all. So because the device is from AT&T I can't use any 3G connection with different carrier other than AT&T:confused:

P.s. why do I have a good signal in wcdma connection?

Thanks anyway:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
Only certain carriers have the WCDMA bands that AT&T uses. AT&T uses 850Mhz and 1900Mhz for WCDMA, so does Rogers in Canada - therefore, if you use Rogers as a service, you can utilize WCDMA no problem.

Now, if you're using T-Mobile here in the U.S. - who uses AWS 1700/2100Mhz for their WCDMA connection - it won't work as it's an entirely different band. There's no fix as this is a hardware limitation until at least AT&T buys T-Mobile officially.

What service are you using anyway? When you say WCDMA signal, what do you mean? Do you have an 'E' by your signal bars or H+?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
I'm using Iwireless if you have heard about it they use T-Mobile phones:rolleyes:. I mean the signal reception it looks just fine if I switch to the WCDMA band, but can't make any call or use the web and I have H+ by my signal bars.

oh sh** just found out that in their website the use as same as T-Mobile 1700/2100Mhz :(

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheMan42:
Hmm, I'd give them a call then, you may just be experiencing a network issue in your area, does it happen outside of a 10 mile radius of where you first noticed it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sinan2010:
yeah I'll just give them a call, or I'll get new sim card because mine is 6 years old it might be it.

thanks again and appreciate your help:)

Let's hope this is only for non-sprint Sprint owned services.

Kinda makes sense, you don't get all the benefits if you're with the cheap brands like Virgin.

/sigh

[EVO 4G General] cheekymonkee20:
Not for postpaid customers...for now.
[EVO 4G General] lynyrd65:
At least we know that if data is eventually tiered we won't be charged extra like ATT and VZW customers.

Throttling is by far the lesser of two evils.

What's sad is this wouldn't effect me even if I went over. I average ~256kbps anyway :(
[EVO 4G General] Bandage:
Well...I wouldn't mind 256k speeds right now! They need to fix some stuffs, ASAP. I'm burnin up the interwebs @60kps on 3G currently.
[EVO 4G General] ben.nesheim:
+1 on the throttling. Id hate to pay overage charges. i believe that sprint is not gonna do it in the near future ( hoping... i repeat hoping it wont at least) but of course it could happen. they are using the fact that everyone else is doing it as a little marketing push.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Its possible that they are only going to do it to the prepaid virgin mobile and possibly boost mobile eventually too.

It makes sense.

Encourages you to go the route of going with Sprint itself.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
This is what I'm thinking.

And in terms of throttling or overages ... I'd take throttling in a heartbeat.
[EVO 4G General] JoshuaD80:
yea, i know that i would much prefer throttling over overages if i were forced to choose between the two.

of course, i'd rather not choose either. ;)
[EVO 4G General] shootin4aces:
Let's just hope sprint does not bring anything like this to their main front... This would make me sad

[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
i hope sprint can steal some people out of all this BS with other carriers :D I always try to tell people to switch or about deals if they are at or near the end of their contract. Also not to worried about throttled internet get like 1m tops thats at night and a good day
[EVO 4G General] jjshleprock:
I do the same. I might be a homer, but man, the incentives are just too good when compared to the sheep headers.

If my signals bad for a few, or I can't get wimax... peanuts!

The plans + phones / money can't be beat!
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
agreed lol doesnt bother me to have bad signal usually only for a minute tops lol deff best phones and plans
[EVO 4G General] Mark_Hardware:
I just don't get why everybody is so worried about faster speeds when everybody caps or throttles. (Yes, except for Sprint. So far)

It's like, "Hey, I can hit my cap in 2.5 weeks!" "Oh yeah well I can hit mine in less than 2 weeks!"
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
i could care less about speed as long as there isnt a cap all these ISP now a days giving caps is ****ing BS

throttle>caps
[EVO 4G General] jjshleprock:
Best plans by far... The phones (hTC) get better with each release.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wis3m0nkey:
Reflashing is what I'm trying to avoid :-\ so I fixed swype with beta install, can I fix other stuff similarly?

1. Delete all related apks from system folder

2. Install/copy required apks (install is preferred)

3. Set permissions as required

I would appreciate if I can get installable apks for accounts and sync else I'll move my apks and re copy them
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanderman112:
The reason they aren't worling is system corruption. I tried everything to fix it. It is unrelated to journaling on/off, since I'm stock rooted ec05.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oakleyrdc:
Is there a way to dual boot MIUI with the stock rom?
[General Questions and Answers] zbergquist99:
I am looking for some clarification on how Android generates the Music DB and in particular how it displays track and album info and artwork. Right now I have some music in a "Music" folder on the root of my sdcard. There are several tracks directly in that folder, and some others organized into subfolders by artist or album. I'm having several problems getting the info to display properly.

My first issue is album artwork. Does Android display artwork that is embedded in the file? Some of them are showing up correctly and some are showing album covers from other tracks. Some of the things I've read suggested that everything be organized in folders by Album and to have an AlbumArt.jpg in each folder. While this is doable, I haven't gotten around to reorganizing my library and would rather the phone just read artwork from the file. I have checked the id3 tags of some of the problem tracks, both with an app on the phone, and from my pc, and everything (including artwork) looks fine. Both the stock music player and several 3rd party players are displaying the information incorrectly and identical so it seems to me like Android is caching the data incorrectly. I've tried to delete the albumthumbs folder on the sdcard as well as Settings->Manage Applications->Media Storage->Clear Data. It just gets regenerated incorrectly.

I think this is related to my next problem. It seems like the tracks that do not reside in their own album folders and sit directly in the Music folder are having the most problems. In particular the songs where there is no Album field in the id3 tags. The phone seems to think these all belong to the album "Music" - must be resorting to looking at the containing directory if no album is found in the tags. What's odd is that even though it thinks several tracks belong to this Music album, its now showing the same artwork for each of them.

What is the ideal way to organize music for playback on Android? Would sorting everything info folders by Album solve my problems? Do I need to make sure I don't have any blank Album tags?

On a side note, is anyone familiar with how iTunes stores its Album art? I'm looking for an easy way to maintain consistency between my iTunes library and what is on my phone. I'm thinking of developing a small application that can scan both libraries and detect differences to keep them synchronized. All of my music is on my old Macbook which I hardly use, but I listen to it pretty much exclusively on my Android phone. The problem is we also have an iPad that I'd like to keep the music on so I can't ditch iTunes entirely.

Thanks for any advice.
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
For reference, these are my thoughts on the matter.

We have 3 ways to do this:

1. Get hold of SBL, change it and flash it

Currently impossible afaik.

2. Get an init.d bash script to reboot into recovery if key is pressed

Most likely possible taking these 2 assumptions into account:

a) Bash allows to detect a pressed key, something like this:

_key()
{
local kp
ESC=$'\e'
_KEY=
read -d '' -sn1 _KEY
case $_KEY in
"$ESC")
while read -d '' -sn1 -t1 kp
do
_KEY=$_KEY$kp
case $kp in
[a-zA-NP-Z~]) break;;
esac
done
;;
esac
printf -v "${1:-_KEY}" "%s" "$_KEY"
}

_key x

case $x in
$'\e[15~') reboot recovery ;;
esac

Replacing this key code for one of OB's.

But for this, we need assumption number 2:

b) Key codes mapping is the same for recoveries.

Now, while this is the method of the greatest chance to work, it is also fairly useless. Developers will often break the boot before the init.d scripts are ran. So, this code should be ran before. Hence, the third method.

3. Start a custom service in init.rc (@ ramdisk) that will detect pressed key

This would be the perfect solution as it can't be broken from kernel (zImage) or system changes. However, init.rc has its own programming language (android init language) and there's no way to run this kind of listener.

However, it is possible to run an external script located for example in /system/bin/. These can be both an executable compiled from c (higher chances of working) or a bash scripting like the aforementioned one (lower chances of working since android probably doesn't start a console on boot).

Code for this would be something like:

service exampleservice /system/bin/exampleservice
user exampleservice
group exampleservice
oneshot

So uh, am I missing anything?

Anyone has other ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] d0n22:
a lot of times i heared about pressing "G" and "Power" would boot into some kind of save mode... if thats true i guess its easyer to reprogramm that keycombo to do something else... so does that keycombo anything? i couldnt figure out^^
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
Are others devices has the key combination code in SBL?

I wish I have enough knowledge about android system so i can help... :(
[LG Optimus Black] d0n22:
Yes there are devices heaving the key-combo in SBL if that answers your question. The "Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000" e.g. has them there afaik. With that device it was possible flashing the SBL to add a "booting directly into recovery" key-combo...

So I don´t know why there should not be a solution to do the same to the OB but Noejn surely has good reason for telling its impossible.

But hey what about booting into recovery on every system startup and only boot into the system through the recovery? It´s a "quick & dirty" solution even if its possible but better than developing the way we do isn´t it? I´m not sure if its easier to change the startup that way than to add or modify a key-combo but maybe someone here does?
[LG Optimus Black] Swaddy:
I'm sure (or hope..) someone can, but perhaps we should move this Thread to another part of the Forum so someone with the knowledge how to do this will read it.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
Yeah, i prefer that way if poosibble rather than nothing.

But if put it that way, when the phone get bootloop is it still posibbe to boot into recovery?
[LG Optimus Black] racht:
This is how it's done on Xperia X8 phone.

The /system/bin/chargemon is usb-charge daemon that is being hijacked on boot (it's binary is replaced with this script)

Original chargemon is copied into "charger" to keep it's functionality.

Than "sleep 3" waits for any keypress, and checks the dump, if keys were pressed, it launches the recovery binary.

quite simple.

#!/system/bin/busybox sh
/system/bin/charger
cat /dev/input/event1 > /dev/keycheck&
sleep 3
kill -9 $!
if [ -s /dev/keycheck -o -f /data/local/tmp/xrecovery ]
then
rm -f /data/local/tmp/xrecovery
# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

# Umount MTDs
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock1
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock2
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock3

# Mount recovery partition
cd /
rm -r /sbin
rm -f etc
tar -xf /system/bin/xrecovery.tar

# Umount /system
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock0

# chroot
chroot / /init

fi

# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
chmod 0777 /dev -R
chown 0.2000 /dev/oncrpc -R
cd /
rm init*
rm logo.rle
rm default.prop
tar -xf /system/bin/ramdisk.tar
mkdir -p /minicm
cd /minicm
tar -xf /system/bin/ramdisk.tar
# Umount /system, data and cache
umount -l /dev/block/mtdblock0
umount /dev/block/mtdblock3
umount /dev/block/mtdblock1
rmdir /system /data /cache /mnt
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:

[LG Optimus Black] i04055:

Hi,

has there been any success with booting into recovery mode?

BR,

[LG Optimus Black] SeffQin:
No,I try to boot directly into recovery through boot.img,but I get a big "error" form the LG Security Team!
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Hijacking a daemon would work if Optimus Black had those binaries. I took a quick glance at a backup and I didn't see chargemon in /system/bin.

Besides, a xRecovery is limited as it's dependent on system files so a /format can't be done which isn't really that "comfy", especially when changing fs.

But yeah, better than nothing. Still, the method you described is only possible in Xperia phones, as far as I know.

I still say injecting a service on the init.rc is the way to go.

However, I can't test this now.

Hi All

I want to know the HTC Chacha was able to write or read Arabic language ? For example you try to open this site and show me what you seen . ( with Android browser or Firefox or UC or...)

And is "input method" enable on Chacha when you want to write a message ? ( for install Arabic keyboard )

And I want to know is possible to map Chacha keyboard to another language ? for example you press "D" bottom and wrote "ی" ?

[HTC ChaCha] S.M.H:
Yes, sure you can ... yesterday i got one from Nasa (nasa4ppc . com) (Middle East Version) with full arabic Keypad. you can read & write ...

Really it's excellent device .. I love this ChaCha:)
[HTC ChaCha] waeljimmy:
Just tap into the "text input" for two seconds till yo see " copy , past , input method "

then chose input method. finally, chose the desire language

for Arabic >> chose : Arabic keyboard

for English >> chose : touch input

In Arabic keyboard you can swap easy between Arabic and English language.
[HTC ChaCha] EraqEE:
Android phones in Canada do not support the Arabic language for some reason. The letters are all disjointed which makes it really hard to read.

I'm waiting for HTC to unlock the boot loader so I can download an Arabic ROM for it!

Edit: I recently found out that Sony Ericsson supports reading and writing in Arabic. It's the only company to do so in Canada......... for now!!!!!
[HTC ChaCha] peter_dizai:

Well,you can use several keyboards.like

Persian Soft keyboard and Smart Keyboard Pro

.

They both support QWERTY keyboard, But I suggest you PERSIAN SOFT KEYBOARD which supports Arabic & Persian as it's name goes so.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
Good news for this guide:

I've done it already so you just need to download the files and follow these simple instructions:

YouTube Video of earlier stages of me running Fedora 12

0) make sure your Android Device is rooted (added so I get less nonsensical "It doesn't work!!!!!" and more "I followed everything I get an <insert error here> error! HELP!"

1) download files from http://zornco.net/androfedora/

2) extract fedora_scripts.rar and place all four files (bootfedora, unmountfedora, fedora.sh, fedora.img) in /sdcard/fedora/

3) open android terminal emulator

4) run command "su" (you might have to press allow in the Superuser App)

5) run command "cd /sdcard/fedora"

6) run command "sh fedora.sh"

7) run command "bootfedora" If that returns "not found" run "sh /sdcard/fedora/bootfedora"

8) now you're in fedora (should now see [root@localhost /]#)

OPTIONAL:

9) run "service sshd start" - to run an SSH server

P.S.: I set the root password to password

P.S.S.: I'm pretty sure it's impossible to screw up your Android OS doing this unless you terribly, terribly mess up this guide

Run the scripts and post your errors <- this will help me immensely to make this available on all Android Devices! please, thank you, and have fun! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
forgive me for asking because im usually one to read to learn, but since you made this

what BENEFITS are gained from fedora?

i just dont know exactly what it is? thank you :P
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] N4melessS0ldier:
I suppose mainly for developing. If you have fedora installed on a phone with a kernel that supports adding kernel modules and the kernel headers then you can build new modules for your phone on your phone. Also, it's sortof fun to show off, and it can potentially do some neat things (potentially aircrack-ng if it supports the WiFi device - maybe unlocking some features by allowing you to add linux tools and binaries - adding new media players - converting different media files to things accessible by Android Apps (or just playing them from Fedora) - extracting weird archives - and I'm sure if you take them time you can probably think of cool things you can do with an extremely portable, extremely customizable Linux Operating System Distribution (whether "legit" or less than))

edit: also, most things are already precompiled on a Fedora 12 ARM repo but if they aren't you can easily compile them from your phone (I suggest plugging it in and compiling/installing so you don't waste battery life (also I suggest doing that from your computer to your phone through SSH for easier typing, quicker command entering, etc.) and it may take some time depending on how overclocked the phone is)
