Go into network settings and choose 2g only

[HTC Inspire 4G] Fuzzy John:
Hmmmmm... Is network settings different than Settings | Wireless & Networks?

In Wireless & Networks I see no place where I can select 2G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I remember it being there, though I haven't ran stock in a while, maybe I'm mistaken

no hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Do you see an option mobile networks? Click that and see if you see it there

So witless &networks>mobile networks> select 2g

no hay de queso no mas de papa
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fuzzy John:
Data roaming (checkbox)

Access Point Names

Network operators

Enable always-on mobile data (checkbox)

That's all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I guess it doesn't offer you the option to use only edge. I thought I remember it being their for stock,but it's been a while. Sorry

[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
It is there. At least on my ROM. Stock Desire HD ROM. Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Network mode > Select GSM only. My phone immediately switched to "E". and stayed there. Can't believe I never noticed this here before.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
It is with the Desire rom, not with the Inspire rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fuzzy John:
The inability to switch to Edge or 2G will cost AT&T this customer when my contract is up. At work my phone is useless as it tries to hang onto the smallest trace of H+ instead of switching to 2G. When it switches to 2G for short amounts of time I get 2 bars and I can use the phone. Ten seconds later it goes back to H+ with no bars and I lose the connection. All this while my colleagues with Verizon or Sprint have solid 2 bars minimum 3G signal.

If I could set the phone to 2G (using the stock ROM) I would be happy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
You are in a marginal area. I have this problem at home, which is why I run a Microcell. Fortunately, I get a better signal at work. I assume my previous WinMo device had a much better radio because I got excellent reception with it at work, although data was slower. At home, I shared the same frustration of having a crappy 3g connection, when I could have a good edge connection with steady bars and no ability to lock it. I don't understand AT&T's decision with this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] freekquency:
itd be really nice if people who have been running a non-stock rom since 2 days after they got their phone would stop commenting on threads where they obviously have no clue what they are talking about. Ive been searching around for this 3g/4g toggle solution and in no less then 4 of the threads (everyone ive looked in) some dope is telling us ITS THERE ON THE STOCK ROM.

No its not, and your wasting everyones time.

Thanks :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
If it is not there then why do you keep wasting your time looking? Who is the dope now? :rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Do I really need to say it? Lets keep it civil. Now if it is not there on stock then it is not there. Simple. Let it go.

Hi I get a ATT Xperia X10a, firmware: 2.1, baseband:2.1.65, kernel: 2.6.29, build: 2.1.A.0.492

I already have experience with HTC HD2 installing a windows 7 custom ROM, but with this I'm a little confused.

I want root and install a custom ROM with the android 2.3.3. But, I think I come to android and X10 too late, now is a lot of information, I read and read, but I can't find an start and finish process, or a step by step process.

I have the FlashTool, say he roots with one click, but, I not sure I have all the requirements to do that, the right firmware, the right baseband, etc.

SO is somebody with the same phone, can give me a hand, on first do this, next this with this , etc.

I will appreciate a lot !!!!!!!!

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
Since you're already on 2.1, go to settings, then application settings, then development and enable debug mode on your phone, run the flash tool and click root, the tool will do every thing for you, when it reboots, choose ask root perms, then allow it on your phone to get superuser access, when that has been granted, the flashtool recovery option should be enabled, click on that and install recovery to your phone, you can then install the pre-rooted gb in the developtment forum and follow instructions to install a custom from from there also.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltiti:
HI guys, its me, again jajaja!!!!

I already root and install the xRecovery.

I following this tutorial ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192326

And I have the follow questions guys.

The mSD card :

1) I need format in FAT16, FAT 32, format with the phone and delete all files and folder the Phone create at the format, or format with the phone and leave like that...?

2) The ROM, Patches, etc , I need copy to and specific folder, or to the root of the mSD card.?

I thinking to install this ROM version of EWJET, NEW EWJET GB FULL SE Flavor Version X2.3.4ex - Battery Icons Fixed - (FULL VERSION) and say jump to step 4 skipping #2 launcher and #3 browser, I think they are inside the ROM I choose.

3) In the video after install the ROM and Launcher, he remove the battery run the FlashTool and Flash the Kernel + baseband .71, but not on the thread ... I need install this kernel...? and after that he install the Browser.

4) I not understand the Steps

4 - Start Link2SD and reboot your phone

4.1 - Link the desired applications to Link2SD and reboot

4.2 - Go to Link2SD and re-link dalvik-cache files.

What is Link2SD.?....

The next steps are very well explained in the video, so not a problem !!!!!!

Thanks for the advices !!!!!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Nightmare:
In order to use link2sd, you'll have to partition your sd card, you don't necessarily need to do it, it's only done to save app space on the phone itself by installing the apps on the sd card, you can skip that for now, here's how to go about install ewjet rom.

Requirements:

1. Rooted 2.3.3 GB ROM

2. Xrecovery installed

3. SD card

Steps:

1. Choose the version of EWJET you would like to install, you said you already chose the SE Flavoured 2.3.4.x, so skip this step.

2. Download the patch all the way at the bottom, step 5 in his thread I think. You'll have a choice of kernel's to choose from, I recommend freekernel patch, it's stable and smooth.

3. Copy the patch and the ewjet main rom file to your phone's sd card root.

4. Make sure your phone is charged, at least 10% is okay, but I don't encourage that low battery level.

5. Reboot insto xrecovery

6. Wipe cache partition, do a full wipe (factory reset) and then go to advanced options and wipe dalvik cache.

7. Press back to the main menu, choose install custom zip.

8. Scroll down using the side buttons to the EWJET main rom zip file and select it.

9. Choose yes and install it.

10. Reboot the phone, give it a couple mins to boot up and settle down.

11. Reboot into xrecovery again.

12. Choose install custom zip once again, choose the patch zip you downloaded and install it, if it ends in an abort, don't worry, it's fine.

13. Wipe dalvike cache and reboot your phone.

14. Voila! You're all done, install your apps etc and go about using it as per normal.

You're all done, if you want to use link2sd, then say so and I'll walk you through that.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXcybersniperXx:
See the thing is, I hate alot of things about every ROM, but I like alot of stuff to.

Like the full customization of CyanogenMod, the launcher for MIUI and the EDT tweaks for Project V, i'd settle for the modded TW4 launcher...

Any advice?

Hi everyone,

Due to the success I had loading the Android nand on my HD2, its been a while since I've been here. I wanted to upgrade my phone to the latest Android software. Can you guys help with that? I am running a nand rom from Dark Forces Team. Is there anyway to upgrade without losing my apps and/or other things....I guess?

Thank you in advance!

Went to check it out in person now that its finally released after a bazillion years. While performance-wise it delivers well and the UI os not so bad, that screen is complete GARBAGE especially being qHD. The TB screen has better quality, shoot even the OG Droid screen is less pixelated. Not to mention battery life is no better.

Sent from my creaky Thunderbolt
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
speaking of battery life... i don't think any of these big ol' 4G phones will ever have decent battery life(stock) unless the stock battery happens to be 5000mAh.

sure, there's always tweaks here & there and when it's rooted(well, you know the rest).

i just think it's ridiculous that they give all these phones such crappy batteries.

that and they should be built like those Panasonic Tough Books to. i want to know that i can beat someone to death with my phone and it will still be fine and dandy.

:)
[Thunderbolt General] inexplicability:
From what I've read, none of the 4g phones have 4g battery life because they are using modems that weren't designed for mobile phones. In the future, when one is developed that isn't such a battery hog, battery life will be better.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
What was the MDM9600 designed for then? I'm not aware of anything but mobile applications for it. The problem is NOT the power consumption of the MDM9600. The problem is the power consumption of the MDM9600 and the MSM8655 together. You're running 2 radios full time here, unlike pretty much anything that came before it. HTC had to work with the FCC to invent measurement standards for this device. A more modern LTE modem will help a little, but until LTE is ubiquitous enough that Verizon can begin to carry voice on LTE and dump the CDMA modem, power consumption is going to suck.

Finally. I don't have to listen to gullible idiots pounding their meat in anticipation of... whatever is NEXT. Next up to bat: The Samsung Prime! Bet it's gonna have the same mediocre screen the Charge does and suck battery even faster!

but but the next phone will be the second coming of the messiah, only in the form of a phone! :eek:

[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
What makes you say the Charge's screen is mediocre? While I dislike Samsung for a myriad of reasons, I find their display quality to be quite good, not just in vibrancy but color saturation as well. One of my employees has one and its MUCH better in the daylight than my Thunderbolt. My screen is almost unusable in the sun.
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Guess he doesn't like AMOLED. I do, but I guess there are some that do not. AMOLED technically uses less power as well than the LCD screens most phones have.
[Thunderbolt General] lrs421:
I do as well. My Captivate had an amazing screen and crappy everything else.....
[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
A girl I work with has an Infuse and I have to say the screen is pretty freakin awesome. The SAMOLED+ with the good ole RGB stripe pattern is much better than the earlier pentile matrix versions. Plus I think with the SAMOLED+ they got color representation way more accurate.

[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
AMOLED screens are NOT more efficient in a variety of common uses on cell phones, such as reading a text message or viewing a HUGE number of web pages. In those applications it can eat 200% to 300% more power. If your Tbolt screen is hard to see in daylight, it's probably an issue with the ROM, not the screen. Mine is plenty bright in any lighting condition. I call the screen mediocre because it's resolution is about on par with everything else out there. The screen SEEMS more vivid because the contrast is better on an AMOLED. However, honesty of colors and whites is still off.

I had a dInc AMOLED. I liked it, but it did have some serious shortcomings. It's excuse for white was very sorry, and it's brightness was the single most pathetic thing I've ever seen. I honestly don't miss that screen. The newer AMOLEDs are better, but I'm not going to venture down that road again until that technology comes a good bit further. In my opinion, it needs to become at least twice as efficient on white screens and produce more honest colors. I think it will ultimately be the technology of the future, assuming color e-paper doesn't make some good strides, but it's not there today.
[Thunderbolt General] mb02:
Mediocre compared to what? A 240hz 55in. LED TV? From reading multiple posts from you in various threads it seems you either argue for the sake of arguing, or your psyche literally requires a high level of negativity and conflict to function. I'm leaning more towards the former. Not to mention it appears you jump between googling for your info, dictionary.com, and your forum posts too much to actually comprehend the information properly or form a coherent,unbiased, individual opinion you didn't get from someone else. But thats just me. I just hope your next post isn't something along the lines of "How dare you, I'm a (enter college degree/major here) and worked for (enter some prestigious tech company here). I know what I'm talking about," that would just complete the stereotype too well.

Thinking of writing an algorithm that checks to see how many times a new thread is opened that 1) asks what the best Sense Rom is 2) the best AOSP Rom is 3)Who hates their phone and why 4) the next awesome phone that comes out is sooooo much cooler than whatever phone I have now and 5) Oops I accidentally installed a Gingerbread Rom on my walkie talkie can someone help me?

If we get rid of all those threads how many you think we would have left?

Ok that's my completely useless rant for the evening please continue. :oD
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
1) Start by fetching the forum main pages via something like curl or wget using a text filter language like perl, python, awk (or even user javascript would work in the browser).

2) Filter out just the html that goes with the titles of the postings.

3) Use some regex magic to look for phrases like "hate" "best" "new" "when" etc.

4) Count the number of occurances by the titles or whatever else you want to do with it.

5) yay, done

Not motivated enough to actually write the class that does that though, lol
[Thunderbolt General] TDubKong:
lol. Not motivated enough to do it myself. I was just reading through a bunch of different posts and realized that there are a lot of them that are very similar. Not anything against the ones who post them. Just making an observation

[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
LED TV's aren't AMOLED. They're LED backlit, as opposed to cold cathode.

I did figure out how to Google things a long time ago, but I tend to read up on something and it's competing technologies before I form an opinion. Then, when I have an opinion, it's actually an informed one and not the collective wisdom of the unwashed masses.

I've gone to college. I studied Theology. I did pretty good. I didn't get a degree, and even if I did, I wouldn't brag about it because I think college is where you go when you need someone else to vouch for your knowledge instead of yourself. In my life I've been to every corner of the US, made everything from soap to parts for Pratt & Whitney jet engines, been published a few times, and lots of other things.

It wasn't exactly out of cold bitterness and some desire to dispense negativity that I wrote the [q AND a] thread pinned at the top of the Q&A forum. Or, that I've helped a fair number of people by personally answering questions and walking them through things they didn't feel comfortable with. So, you got a bone to pick with me for thinking AOSP sucks ass, or AMOLEDs aren't a visual orgasm, or I just think some people are idiots. Oh well. Plenty of people think I'm a world-class asshole. Somehow I get by, hold down jobs, manage relationships with my girlfriend and my wife (yes, they know each other well), and develop and maintain friendships. Seems to me if I was really what you say, doing those things would be a bit of a challenge, don't you?
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
The ones that REALLY piss me off are the ones that toss out the stupidest questions, then DEMAND an answer. Not a link. Not how to find the answer. Sometimes not even just an answer, but one from only a dev. Am I the only one that wonders how they got to this point in life functioning like that?

[Motorola Droid X2] morphius2036:
Ok I know in the General thread we have a bounty page, that's fine but there needs to be a discussion on exploits and technical issues not hope and rainbows.

If you have any information on what was tried and what seemed to half work we need to put it on here but lets be organized about it.

<format>

<Exploit CVE>

<Date Tried>

<Results>

<Fail, Success, Re-Visit>

I just got my phone Friday and I have no idea on any of the specs, Kernel, ArmVersion ..etc that a Root Dev would need. So until I know what Kernel we are on I couldn't search CVE exploits (Even thought they are know exploits) so neither could a Dev from another forum.

I know its said every time but DONT FEED THE TROLLS it gets annoying to have to parse through 5 pages of *****ing. These Devs do this for little to nothing and they deserve our respect to at least be civilized.

Info Needed

What boot setps does this phone have?

I know ADB is part in the beining and someone mentioned that it is quickly locked. I know that the reason for the ADB at the boot is to check the sdcard for any updates so if flooding a card with mass amount of data to slow down that process could a shell at that point gain temp Root to pause and gain control over the protected memory sections?

Kernel V

What CMD's are even in the damn thing

Like I said I am not an experienced Dev by no means but am willing to jump in and test or try to assist.

Someone that has an IRC server would be nice if we could have rooms setup for Devs and help for the ones that just come in with the phone, I know I had a heart attack when I bootlooped mine after a botched recovery install. I still don't know what the thousand different modes are in the pre-os boot are or do so Help rooms would be great.

Let's work together instead of posting how no one loves us and the chatter is dying down, I am sure that there isn't a Droid made so far that hasn't been rooted and if so no respectful Dev will leave it alone until it is. Its a pride thing that we have an open source device that Corporate Capitalism tries to lock down.

Pardon the rant but got to light a fire..Let get full Root.
