[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .dan:
I have low cellular signal in my house so i want to disable the phone's radio when on house wifi, but that option is "unavailable" in tasker.

Is there a work around to this? i know you can turn on airplane mode then turn back on wifi, but i want to know if there is a solution to just disable the radio.

Would this help? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1217038

Thanks.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] behelit:
I thought there was a plugin released recently that allowed something like this, sorry I can't find it though.

I have bad signal at home too so I just change over to 2g and battery does pretty well.

Why would you want to turn the radio off though? You won't receive calls/sms/anything.

Going to 2G and turning data off should be better surely?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .dan:
signal is so weak that you can assume no signal at all in the house, so i'm not sure if just changing to 2g data is good enough since the phone will still continue to search for cellular signal which drains the battery.

i will try that at least for now and see if it helps, but ultimately, i do want to turn off the radio and leave on wifi.

i am able to receive calls via wifi through use of voip, receive sms via google voice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team420:
So I was having issues with my 4G the other day, I would turn it on, and it would just say "turning on 4g antenna" till it finally drained the battery, so I updated the wimax, (took about 2 min, if that...) and rebooted, tried 4g, and it turned on no problem. About 2 days ago, I had to do a nand backup, from before I flashed the wimax, and forgot to re-flash the wimax, so again today, while trying to use 4g, it got stuck on "turning on 4g antenna" again, so I rebooted, and still "turning on", went into nand, and wiped cache, and dalvik, and flashed the wimax zip again, it said reboot to complete the update, I did, and for the last 10 min or so, it has been on the screen with the htc phone, and green down arrow with circle around it.... I know it shouldnt take this long, so what'd I do wrong? Is it a brick now? Should I continue to let it do whatever its doin till it either finishes, or kills the battery? or pull the batt, and try a reboot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Don't pull the battery, just give it some more time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team420:
been about 20 min now..... how long should I wait? and then what if it wont finish on its own?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Well, it shouldn't take that long. The only way to permanently brick your phone is during a radio update, and it's kind of risky to pull the battery. But you almost don't have a choice.

Hopefully if you pull the battery, it'll finish quickly when you put it back in. You aren't guaranteed to brick it by doing so, and it isn't a radio update so I don't know if wimax will brick your phone as well. I think in your situation it'll be okay to pull the battery, but if it doesn't turn on at all after putting the battery back then it never will.

Good luck, hope it works out for you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
What does it say on the screen??

If I remember, if it says clearing cache, and has been there a long time, it's OK to reboot. Not pull the battery, just select reboot, if you can.

Been awhile since I flashed radios.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team420:
ya, after 40min, I pulled the batt, it did turn on again, but went right to the update screen (htc phone with grren arrow and circle around the arrow), cant get into fastboot, just right back to the update.... am I gonna have to tell sprint I "LOST" my phone now? lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team420:
Dosent say anything, just a pic of the phone with the green arrows....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If it's still updating then you can try to wait it out. As far as I know, there's no way around that screen.

You can continue to pull the battery over & over. I know someone was trying to brick their phone that way and it took multiple tries to actually get it to not turn on. If you can get to that point then you can just take it into Sprint. It'll never turn on, so they'll never know. Or if you feel like you need to pay the deductible, claim it lost. It sounds like your wimax was messed up already.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team420:
Ya, I'm gonna just let it drain the battery, or start up.... whichever comes first....

Then I will prolly just keep pulling the battery till bricked.... No, I dont feel the need to pay the deductible :) so thanks for the tip!

I'm guessing there was something up with the wimax... IDK... Did I do anything wrong from the steps I listed above? did I forget to wipe something?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Team420:
so it didnt take long to kill the battery.... lol

So, I have another battery.... I have verified that with the phone off, it does charge the battery, but no matter what I do, it goes right to the update screen... So I assume this is a brick? But... I have seen posts that if the batt charges, and the screen does come on, and show something, that its not truly bricked.... So, might I b able to do something here?

Any tips would be extremely appreciated at this point, before I really do fully brick it....

So I just cannot live with my GPS lock failing and just stopping working after 20 - 30 minutes driving. So I figure I will just go back to the most recent stock ROM via odin. Went to the wiki and its just confusing.

I have ODINd so many "leaks" that I do not remember what the official ROM is anymore. I just want to go back to what would be installed on the phone if I bought it in a store today.

Sorry for the silly question...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilesja:
EC05 is the latest official. But most of the custom ROMS based on EC05 are quite good. Urban Regeneration, SRF, Simply AOSP, are all great ROMS based on the most recent public release.

Edit: To fully answer your question the ReRFS will bring back to full stock except for having clockworkmod installed and that seems to be what you are wanting. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1027904

[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
I want to sell my droid pro on ebay, but I am getting a lot of inquiry from foreign customers as to the "unlock" status of the phone. I suppose that I could get a better price on it if I unlocked the phone for use on foreign networks. I wanted to know what the easiest way to get an unlock code from verizon and whether or not this is in any way unethical or illegal to do this.

Thanks
[Droid Pro General] discomm:
As I know, if you have a good account at verizon (ex: pay bill on time for over 90)

You may just call verizon customer service and told them you are going to somewhere dosn't cover by verizon(like travelling), and asking them to give you unlock code and then you can just unlock your phone.

It's nothing unethical IMO, since you have contract (if you can unlock the phone) and still paying bill.
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Thanks for the response, will the unlock code permanently unlock the phone?
[Droid Pro General] discomm:
Yeah, suppose to be unlocked permanently. Unless verizon update the system (happend once this year)

Though recover won't break the unlock, it is still better to provide the unlock code to the buyer. You won't need the code anymore since the unlock code is different depends on the phone id.
[Droid Pro General] CrackMonkey91:
OMG dude you should really get the unlock code having it unlocked can be the difference of selling it for 200 something to 300 something

All the once that are locked still sell for about 240-250ish and worldwide ones from what I can see sell for 340-350ish
[Droid Pro General] Khachikyan:
I unlocked mine in sim-unlock dot net for 5 euros
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Thanks CrackMonkey, the only thing I am now concerned about is my shipping, which I've restricted to the United States. I've had a few inquiries from foreigners who claim to have a US address to use as an intermediary, but I am afraid that I may detract potential bidders who don't have a US address they can use. You guys have any experience with shipping ebay purchases to a foreign address?
[Droid Pro General] CrackMonkey91:
Its pretty similar to shipping in US but cost more just make sure its a address that paypal trust and only sell to people with paypal in end you will probably only make 50 dollars more then if you sell it in US but still that's 50 more dollars you have
[Droid Pro General] LeoBloom.:
Alright, crackmonkey, thanks a bunch for your help
[Droid Pro General] Khachikyan:
LeoBloom, I am located in Europe and already 5-6 years buying stuff on eBay US. Never had a problem, only maybe 1-2 times from 50 item was lost - but USPS insurance covered it. And I bought my Droid Pro on eBay also, 3 weeks ago. Arrived in 2 weeks. USPS Express is <10 days, Priority around 2 weeks. So no worries to sell abroad :)

I simple open gps2 setup by using the code...on back against it fix me with 9-10 satellites within few seconds..
[Galaxy 3 General] sidzim:
I know that I now have fix in my living room :)

With kyrillo's settings, sometimes I had to wait 10 and more minutes to get fix, under clear sky or in my car driving.
[Galaxy 3 General] mankokoma:
Hi Sidzim,

checked out your settings and can't see a difference. My experience

is that it depends on if there's a data connection, because of "A-GPS"

(download the actual paths of the satellites from a ntp server).

With data connection is always fast, if you've set the right ntp server for your region.

Without data, first fix takes between 1 & 3 minutes and the following go much faster.

Without data connection the phone has to download the actual paths of the satellites from themselves. That takes long.

The longer the break between switching GPS off and on again the longer it will take to get the fix.

However for me it's okay usually... others seem to be very unlucky with it. ;)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphillips.hd88:
Hello all...hopefully I can get some help...

When I reboot for any reason, my xoom starts and displays the dual core screen then jumps to the honeycomb animation start up screen but never loads..

Setup: 3g Verizon Xoom, running Hammerhead 2.1.0 ROM, Tachi 2.1.0 Kernal.

Events: A week ago I was running Manta Ray and found that rom obsolete and decided to install Hammerhead...this is when I found that I had the wrong recovery...I believe a while back I had rom manager update it to 4.xxx...now I know that was a mistake..went back and flashed 3.2.0.0 and Hammerhead install went fine after that and things seem to be running smooth....until something got hung up and needed to reboot. stuck at honeycomb startup screen. Figured hmm..might be Hammerhead...nope. wiped and reflashed Manta Ray and still had the problem...I will add..that the first boot after wipe and flash of the rom it loads right up with no problems....the problem happens after it's running and after reboot. Now I'm back on Hammerhead...after the install of Hammerhead I did get the little static on the dual core display and I notice that when my xoom doesn't boot I don't get the static, so I am assuming that when I reboot, its not finding something.

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks.

I apologize in advanced if this problem is posted elsewhere, I have search an hour and couldn't find anything.

I'm so sick of the the stock browser due to the lag. I love the opera browser due to it speed. But most of the time i use it with my little bluetooth mouse. Problem here is mouse wheel scroll doesn't work within opera mobile. Anyone know any trick on getting it to work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dombard:
Don' t think so. The wheel acts like PgUp/Down from the keyboard. And the stock browser was modded to support those keys. Look at the browser's info page, it's not just Android browser, but blah-blah_EPAD_blah-blah-browser. So, we will have to wait Opera to support our device. Or wait for third-party mods.

Hi guys,

it's been a while we didnt released update, sorry for that.

the project is not dead, it's just that it's taking a lot of time and you know it's vacation time, even for devs :)

hopefully munjeni/derefas published great versions and the fact that we share source code help to share fixes between versions.

so here is the new version of the day, featuring Froyo 2.2

Link to download:

http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/downloads/list

What's new?

What's new versus 10/07/2011 version:

- gps.conf updated for fast GPS [from xda]

- telephony.db updated (fix some users not having 3G working)

- timeswitch workaround [by r0bin]

- g-sensor calibration fix [by r0bin]

- usb/ac cable detection fix [by r0bin]

- battery driver updated [by r0bin]

- headset sound fix (voice + mp3) [by r0bin]

- overclocking/underclocking capabilities [from ladios]

- light sensor fix [by cardsharing]

- usb stability [by cardsharing]

- headset audio glitch [by r0bin]

- camera snapshot fix [by cardsharing]

- touchscreen calibration [by schlund]

Enjoy and as usual, feel free to report any bug or issue you might have on this new version! :cool:

Note for people updating their existing system:

/!\ Make sure to do a backup in any case (titanium backup seems to work well)

if you are using [10/07/2011 r134++] from google page:

Lucky you, you dont need to format your SD card or delete apps or whatever:

Just overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret as usual and you are good to go!

if you are using munjeni release:

you can try to do the same: overwrite everything exept system.ext2, run haret and see if it still works :D

if your android is not working well after partial update:

then you will have to do a full upgrade. use a backup program (titanium or other) and enjoy!

hi r0bin :)

tell me pls,does this new kernel tells us with accuracy the power usage?(i heard was depending on battery driver and before it wasnt really accurate)

right now i have between 92-97 mA in suspend mode and 150-200 when is on and no apps running.

I'm asking this because i want to do some research and help you(and us of course:D) to get a better battery life like other phones with ported Android has

ah and by the way..Thank you very much for the G-sensor fix,finally we can play games now lol,I love it:D
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
this new kernel gives you voltage + current + temp refreshed every second.

the percentage is updated every 30 seconds, like in WinMo, based on average value on the past 30 seconds.

this gives battery percentage more stable (its not going up and down like before).

i disabled the battery computing when on-sleep because i was thinking it is causing power drain, but i can build one kernel with this feature enabled if you wanna try.

gimme few secs :)
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:
if i understand well, your phone is not booting when SIM is inserted?

do you see the "quietely brillant" displayed on your screen before it restarts on WM?
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
okie,thanks.

Well I notice there is still something preventing phone to go in Deep Sleep(I installed CPU Spy and it shows that 97% of time CPU was staying on 245 Mhz) so we need to find a solution to make our phones to sleep god damnit lol:)))) and also when they are on would be nice if they will use 10-20-30 mA :)
[HD Mini Android Development] tzacapaca:
@r0bin click me ;)
[HD Mini Android Development] -r0bin-:

on my phone, it stays at 100mA on suspend more. it is weird, because on earlier versions i managed to get 10/50mA... need to investigate what's wrong!

[HD Mini Android Development] codiak:
What I can say from HD2 sd builds.

Let the build "settle in". Reboot a few times and let it run for a day or two.

Most "glitches" and hickups will disapere and the phone runs smoother.

Also battery consumption will be better.

So dont judge to fast ;)

Hope it helps for us too.

i think you're right, there is something wrong in the latest patches on power consumption.

i'm investigating now...
