I was just wondering whether anything was happening regarding Android on the Palm Pre mobile phones?

There are plenty of people asking, but has anyone started the project? It's already coming to the TouchPad, so will anyone be making Android for it?

Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong place.
[General Questions and Answers] Andyt95:
it is 100% completely and utterly possible.

It's a relatively small task to undertake, but nobody has a pre 3 unfortunately. They sold out before a price cut in the hope that people would get refunds, and they did.

I'm buying an HP Pre 3 as we speak, and I'll be trying to learn how to port and develop ASAP, but it will be a huge undertaking for me, as I'm only 16 and I'm busy with A-Levels and **** like that associated with school. Don't count on anything from me though, I might not be even able to get my head round all this computer speak... (I bet my brother '£30 + a slap' that I'd become a recognized developer one day, so I really want to do it, I just don't know if I have the time.)

I'm not very literate when it comes to android, but I know how it works (I run an old HTC Hero GSM and have seen and helped with about 12098201 billion ports) so I could get it done. Just be patient. I really hope someone beats me to the punch though, cos if it's left to me I couldn't deal with the pressure...

Please don't thank any of my posts by the way, I don't want to be that guy who talks alot and gets nothing done, but still gets credit for stuff.

ehh ignore my ramblings if you want, just know that, one way or another, there will be a port of android to the Pre 3 some day.
[General Questions and Answers] legsim:
Great news !

I could do some tests for you if you need it since I own a Pre 3.

Actually, the Pre 3 hardware is really good but I miss the Android Market and its apps...

[General Questions and Answers] rlsimon:
Yesterday I backed up everything on both my Touchpad and my Pre3 (Veer I put on a separate palm account and Isync'd everything via google). Today I put android a3 on my Touchpad (as a hedge against full blown demise of webOS ...I have deplored the failure of the backup server of late as a possible sign of that sorry end). Now, at least, I know it will have a life in a webOSless world. I would love to see it go on my Pre3 as well to be somewhat secure (Pre3 cost me more than Touchpad). I note with interest the openings that "seem" to be for future microSD and/or SIM and will watch the secondary market offering these items and others (i.e. replacement batteries, parts) for DIY if the thing gets a new lease on life.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khtc:
I just got the Huawei IDEOS X5. Once the battery ran low, I plugged it to the charger. The problem is that the Led Status Indicator (above the screen on the front of the phone) doesn't become orange (it is green). According to the instructions this Led should be orange while the charge is in progress, and become green once the phone is fully charged. This behavior does not follow the info described in the manual of the phone.

Has anyone had the same problem? Do you know why this is happening? Should I return the phone back to the seller?

Thanks

khtc
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Led burns green, when the battery is above 90% or so. Under that should be orange. Sometimes when you plug in the charger, it takes time even to start charging (Led is green then). I'd say try to observe more
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I thought the same when I first start charging my device, but when the device was fully charged I realized that the led(which seems to me green) wasn't.

The orange color of the led it's not so orange(like was on other devices) but is more close to green(again the green on other devices). On ideos the the green led it's not so light and yellowish, it's more deep like trees green.

And what sanpsa says happens also after 90%
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] khtc:
Thank you guys. You were 100% right both!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] DTSpawn:
Dunno, whether it depends of soft or not, but when battery below 15% (or 10%) LED should be red. For mine device it's so.

Thats true...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ender266:
So this just started off as a DIY digitizer replacement for me...but my MT4g is pretty beatup so I ordered some new housing from ebay to bring it back to life. The housing didn't come with buttons (mainly camera, power, volume buttons). I knew this and wasn't bothered because I planned to recycle the buttons from the old housing. Here comes my problem. The front buttons (home key/track button) are easy enough to replace. But upon closer inspection of the side buttons, I was at a loss about how to safely remove them. Originally I thought I'd be able to pop them out of the plastic pins with a small flathead or safe pry, but concluded that these were not coming out this way without damaging any hope of using these buttons in the new housing.

The plastic pins without the buttons in place look like this:

l__no.button__l

But with the button, the tops of the pins have been melted down holding them in place looking like this:

T___button___T

So I come to you guys asking for help about this. Is there any method of removing these and still be able to re-use them? Also include what tools I may need. Thanks in advance :D

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fearkillerr:
Hi everyone. I've been using ARHD roms since for ever. But I have a single problem. I can't manage to get orbot connected on this roms.

It does work on leedroid or miui just not any ARHD build. Not even on sensation.

I need help to find what's the thing that blocks orbot so I can desable it or fox it.

It keeps saying ( waiting. Setting up control) and doesn't connect.

I've tried reverting host files as mike asked me but didn't help.

I need orbot to open android market in my country and I've searched a lot with no luck for this problem. Plz help guys !

(Orbot free app for private tunneling like vpn etc under tor project )
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusikMonk:
Same here. And I wish that I have seen your thread yesterday, before I had flashed the ROM and started to customize it, as it would have saved me some time as I also need a combination of Orbot and Market Enabler to access the Market.

I was searching for a solution to this issue and found multiple people asking about it in the ARHD thread but no solutions or workarounds so far.

I've been using CM7 ROMs since I got the device and wanted to try something different but it seems like I'm gonna have to pass on ARHD for this reason.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcorio:
So here's the deal. I bought two 3500mah batteries for $24 bucks off ebays "buy it now". They're cheap chinese 1billion made type batteries but last 36 hours. 17 avg off my 1930mah stock so worth the $25 in my eyes.

Here's my issue. I've installed cm7 beta with new battery in at %100. I've wiped stats at %100. Let it die and recharge without interruption. Wiped battery stats numerous times. Cmw and the calibration application. My issue persists. I will have the same "stats" as my stock battery but with a huge "reserve". By reserve I mean I will be at %1 for 7 hours or more. I can't be the only one.

Source i basically use mv for an accurate check. Seeing I'm usually dead about 3400.

Anyone, anyone, anyone, Beuler.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:

I'm having similar issue with a "2000mah" battery off ebay. Lasts aboue twice as much at 1% vs. 100% to 2%. I've noticed that battery is around 3900-3800mV when it first reaches 1%. and phones shuts off around 3400mV...

I'm gonna pop in the original bat and see...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delewer:
To calibrate, try with "Battery left" app
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felchi80:
interesting, will try that.

the odd thing is that the original battery goes dead at 3400mV also...

I wonder how these things work. Does the phone "remember" different batteries, or is it just the same "calibration file" for any battery plugged in? if that's the case, then we cannot use "spare" batteries then?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
All modern lith ion batteries max out around 4200mv (anymore and they risk exploding) and are considered "empty" at 3400-3300 depending on the manufacture, if they decharge anymore they won't charge again. I'm guessing there's a calibration chip in the battery that's messed up on the Ebay batteries or something of that sort. If you were to but an OEM battery the battery life gauge works just fine.

Think of it like this mV is how full you're gas tank is in you're car 4200 full 3400 empty. Now every car can be 100% full but every car doesn't have the same size tank or Mah in this case. So basically you switched the gas tank on your car with a bigger one but didn't change how it reads how full your tank is so basically you need to guess by your mV.

[EVO 4G General] ItsLasher:
Just like anything else people got tired of waiting and took matters into their own hands.

Seems to me from reading the threads that things were progressing slowly on all fronts so other stepped in and tried to help. This is going to happen when you spread yourself to thin and try to keep of with several ROMs all at once.

I think it's BS to be called out in front of everyone BUT it's also BS to get pissy and be childish by closing the thread(s) at every turn because someone stole you're thunder.

Everyone just needs to grow up.
[EVO 4G General] thlinx:
Totally agree. I thought bliss 3.5 had a lot of potential. Its the current daily rom I'm using and its fantastic. However there are some bugs that can be pretty annoying. If someone would take this rom by the balls and make it there own, this would be a perfect rom imo. Fast, good looking, lot of new tools, great battery life. Its miles better than the older sense roms.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flooritnfly:
My Thunderbolt is rooted and LTE is live throughout campus down the road from me at Notre Dame. I get 4G speeds on my Thunderbolt just fine, all the way up to 40mbps down and 15mbps up.....But when I tether to my laptop, I get 2-3mbps down and 1mbps up AT BEST!

I have tried every free tethering app out there, both wireless and wired.

What am I doing wrong? Is there some sort of trick to doing it? :confused::confused:

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
you must be in an area where they haven't throttled your normal phone data usage yet. i've tried out 4G in a few places and seem to get around 3 - 5Mbps max (1 - 3Mbps average) with my phone as is. when i tether it's slower.

and yes, i've tried different rom/kernal/radio combinations
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidstech11:
They have not "throttled " my data either because I'm getting great data speeds.

As for tethering. When I was doing that I was getting a little less than what my smartphone got. But my tablet was still getting 12-15Mbps download speeds.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superchilpil:
You know a why? Because 14 megabits per second is about 2.5 megabytes per second

give or take a little

Now the speedtest app measures using megabits, your computer uses megabytes. See the confusion?

It's a clever sales 'trick' to say 20 megabits per second instead of about 3.5 to 4 megabytes. And I think it's a dirty little trick that they shouldn't use
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I think I'll buy that explanation. And I'll agree it's stupid as hell since NOBODY uses bytes to measure serial data transfer. It's ALWAYS measured in bits. And there's reasons for it, too. ...just further confirms my belief that bandwidth tests are total BS.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
I never understood everyone wanting to post number in bits, since I'd say a good amount of the forum have no idea what megabits means in terms of their download speeds (other than more is better), but as you said, it's just a way for ISPs to make it look "super fast." It's about as relevant to most people as me telling the average American how fast I am driving in kilometers per hour or the current temperature in Celsius.

I suspect the reason no one posts their speed in bytes (despite most speedtests allowing you to change to that in the settings) is because of the same reasoning. When someone finds a user friendly app or browser that defaults to telling you your speed in kilobits per second, let me know, but until then showing everyone your bandwidth in Megabits per Second is silly. I mean even wget and curl on the command line use kilobytes by default, lol.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Absolute_Zero:
Not sure the megabit/megabyte explanation is completely accurate. It may be in this specific case but in general bits are always used for network traffic measurements (speedtests, nic speeds, etc) and bytes for storage measurements (hdd/sd space, etc). Unless the OP manually changed how it was being measured (or used a different site/tool than on the phone) which I suspect isn't the case since he would know he did it, it should still be in megabits.

Someone else noticed slower speeds when tethering to certain hardware but for some reason I can't remember the reasonable explanation for it at the time.

@OP: try tethering another device/phone and check through it.

I suppose this assumes the OP is using a similar tool/site (i.e. tried speakeasy on both).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
The reason serial data transport is usually measured in bits and parallel data transport is measured in bytes is because serial transport must take into account transmission protocol and QoS overhead, whereas parallel data transport usually doesn't because much of those controls are handled via sideband. For instance parallel SCSI: SCSI3 (U2, U160, U320) specifies a 68 pin twisted pair, actively terminated data cable. Only 16 of those pairs are data channels though, the remaining 18 pairs are there for ID, QoS, and control protocol. In serial applications, such as SAS (Serial Attached SCSI), those features must be integrated, usually in a packet method, with the data stream, usually incurring a 20% tax on actual data throughput across the interconnect. Serial data ratings include that 20% as part of the data rate, whereas parallel data ratings usually do not. Therefore, a U320 implementation of SCSI can realistically achieve near the theoretical maximum of 320 megabytes per second (310 MB/s is pretty much bus saturation in practice) of real data transfer. However, a serial implementation of SAS rated for 6Gbit, transferring a theoretical 750MB/s, in practice will only transfer roughly 600MB/s assuming a mean protocol/QoS overhead of 20%. That's a significant loss of throughput, however, the loss isn't assumed. Some methods of serial transport take up more bandwidth with protocol, some less. It's not technically accurate to describe a physical interlink's transport capabilities in terms of what the applied protocol can provide since that can change. For instance, 1Gbit Ethernet can move 1Gbit, however, the protocol applied over that topology can vary yielding different actual data throughput results.

That's why serial is always measured in bits and parallel in bytes.

Just got the new Android Market 3.1.5 pushed to my HTC Sensation 4G stock. I was browsing the web and noticed Lookout saying Market was safe, So I checked and it had been updated.

Comes with more settings including Pin for purchases, The My Apps list looks different. I think they made the icons smaller just a bit.
