[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
I wish I could have... I've wnted to upgrade my fiancée's OG SGT (never activated on the Sprint network) for a while. Even though they're made for a network doesnt mean they cant be wifi only with airplane mode enabled...

My tab's Flyer than yours! Unless this is posted in a Flyer thread, then it's just as Flyer...

My Flyer TPU case fits both Flyer and Evo View. No Noticeable difference.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chong67:
I bought one too.

I got me a nice case from fleabay. I read a review its the same as the Bluerex unless you want to pay for the logo. It is $9 ish.

I bought a Transformer on BF and now giving that to wife.

Looking for a cook ROM to get rid of all the Sprint stuff.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
Yessssss!!! :D

People buying more Evo Views makes me happy.. I was starting to regret buying it due to lack of support (no offense to Contradude, I thank you for your hard work and awesome Rom but I miss Rom hopping/sampling like on my OG Evo) but with all these Views getting picked up for cheap, I see the bright ray of hope shining down into this dark cave of Evo View ownership from above! I once again can begin to dream about possibly even getting ICS some glorious day! :D:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m3latino:
I'm using the BLUREX case for my View. Perfect fit.

Hi to all

After many fights with my loved Desire i'd found an excellent solution for the high battery drain.

I have the OxygeN ROM 2.3.2 (very very very nice and stable ROM) but the average life of a charge was 1 day.

Searching on the market i'd found the app "Green Power" (free version). This app allows to manage the WiFi and/or 3G connections when the smartphone is in stand-by (SLCD turned off). Setting the parameters it is possible to swith-off (i.e. every 30 minutes) the WiFi and/or the 3G. This make a big decrease of energy consuption. So my average life of the battery between two charges is 2-2.5 days :eek:.

Very very very excellet solution

Hope to help anyone :rolleyes:

BR
[Desire General] Jezz_X:
If you just want to do wifi its already build into the roms. You just need to go too wifi settings and hit the menu button and select advanced settings then play with "Wifi Sleep Policy" I have mine set to "Never when plugged in"
[Desire General] countstex:
I read before that the WiFi radio actually uses less power than the mobile data connection, so leaving WiFi on and Data Off would drain less battery. Although obviously both off will increase it, which is how JuiceDefender works as well. But i find if you can live with all data off for periods of time you probably don;t need a smartphone in the first place, the whole point of them it to be always online for push notifications and the like.
[Desire General] SEngine:
not 100% true

with my actual configuration (30 minutes OFF and 2 minutes ON) i receive all emails and notification of the day. obviously not instantly :rolleyes:
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Any other Rezound owners with Mobile Hot Spot seeing 4G dropping out fairly often? I almost never lose 4G LTE signal anywhere in my city, but when I have MHS on, it drops out fairly often.
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
Just noticed this today in Chicago while using hot spot in airport. I think I'm going to call Verizon about it.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
that's not good. Was thinking about adding the MHS until root is found.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
I just called and got transferred almost immediately to level 2 tech support. They checked to make sure everything was configured properly on their end of the network before asking me to go to Manage Applications and clearing data in the Mobile Hotspot app.

I'll see how that goes. Next step they said would be Factory Reset, and then possibly switch out the phone.

The thing is, neither of these might fix it. It could be an issue in the software that requires an update. So if any of you have Mobile Hotspot, pay close attention to see if the 4G LTE connection drops out periodically while using MHS, and if so - dial *611 and complain.

Squeaky Wheel gets the oil!
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
So that didn't fix it. I so very reluctantly am going to try a Factory Reset. I can't stand the idea of having re-download all my apps and set up GO Launcher again, but this is infuriating.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
let us know how it goes. Pretty sad if their MHS is jacking up the data. One more reason to stealth tether once root is obtained.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Yeah I'm going to do the Factory Reset tonight and report back.

Even if I keep the MHS for $30/mo to help ensure unlimited data and no red flags, once we have S-OFF, I definitely might switch to another tethering application if it runs smoother.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I had my laptop tethered one night just checking it out and it was dropping off but I thought it had to do with the screen going to sleep. Does LTE stay on while phone screen is asleep? I know that putting the phone in "sleep mode" is supposed to turn it off during the set hours which makes me think that it's not supposed to happen in the normal course of the day when the screen turns off.

I'm looking into cutting off my dsl if the 4g suffices for my internet connection at home.
[HTC Rezound] jim_0068:
I'm traveling for work and there is no 4g signal where I'm at and I had no problem with 3g tethering. No drop outs.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
make sure under your power settings you have it in performance mode
[HTC Rezound] hellcatrydr:
Forgive me if this is only peripheral to your topic.

I can't prove this but I believe mobile hotspot is throttled. If you want to see for yourself, try this. Using mobile hotspot, see if you can stream a 1080 p video from youtube on your laptop. Chances are, it will have to stop to buffer every 30 seconds or so. Now download and install easy tether. Now, open 4 you tube windows with 1080 p videos on each 1 and a run em all at the same time.

The difference is freaking amazing. With wired tether this phone will run FOUR videos in high definition simultaneously. That is true 4 g speeds.

By the way running the speed test app I can pull about 26 down and 18 up. So I'm pretty damn sure mobile hotspot is seriously throttled back. Verizon claims wireless hotspot is 4 g, but I smell fish.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Finished the factory reset and not one disconnect the whole evening!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
good news indeed
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Interesting. When the Youtube buffers every 30 seconds or so, watch the 4G LTE signal. Does it disappear at all? Don't glance away for even a moment! It goes away and comes back quickly.

False alarm. =\ 4G started dropping out again after a while. Especially when clicking from Amazon Instant Video to Netflix and back on my Roku player. They did recommend trying 3G, so I'll try that before bringing the phone in for an exchange. Not excited about forcing them to manufacture another phone, but we need to press this issue, if it is indeed either a software issue or hardware issue. The WiFi and LTE Rx anetenna are right next to each other so that is suspicious!

Anyone else having this issue needs to start calling Verizon! The Tech Rep said he saw no record of this complaint for the Rezound in the system. So they are assuming it is just me.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I'll try that out tonight. Not sure if I was still in performance or if I had made the switch to normal by the time I tried it.

Does easy tether work in conjunction with mobile hotspot or bypass it? Sorry if that's a dumb question, first smartphone for me and it sounds like a dumb question to me. :o
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
Easy teether is for wired USB internet. Mobile hot spot is for wireless connections. I would highly recommend easytether , it works flawlessly with no problems whatsoever. Here are screen caps of the problem that everyone is having. Verizon is blaming HTC for it saying they don't show any problems on their side. Funny however, my Thunderbolt did it, my Droid Charge at times used to do it and now the Resound. I'm suspecting it has something to do with the app. I did a factory reset, trade sim cards, two tickets for the engineer coming back with no problems, a call from HtC saying phone was defective, a new Rezound with a new sim card and STILL it looses connection.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So... using a usb tether are you using your data plan and not your mhs plan?

And in order to have phone on charger and usb tethered you'd need a splitter then, would this affect the data rate if there is charging going on? Any reason why this can't be done? Trying to figure out how to use my unlimited mhs in place of my dsl and drop dsl. As long as it's reliable and they don't kill my connection with throttling I might do it.
[HTC Rezound] hellcatrydr:
If you have unlimited MHS, then you should have already gotten in on the unlimited data glitch. No splitter. Wired tethering uses data. Phone charges while (wired) tethering. You'll get FAR faster speeds too. (But you can bet they know you're doing it.)
[HTC Rezound] yg420:
I have noticed when using the MHS to connect to my epic 4g touch that if I leave my rezound ON, I wont lose the connection. But as soon as I turn the screen off the rezound, itll lose connection...
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
Makes no difference on mine, would lose connection any way.

Anyways, great news (sort of). HTC contacted me today and told me they are looking into it since they've been getting calls about this issue. Looks like it is a big problem. They will call me back from 48 hrs up to 10 business days. Glad to see this is getting recognized! Lets keep pressuring VZW/HTC on getting this issue resolved.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Same here. I can watch it go out, come back, go out, come back.

Nice work! I'm calling again today to report that Clear Data in Manage Application and Factory Reset did not fix the problem.
[HTC Rezound] crankerchick:
I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but I too noticed my mobile network connection would sometimes be off when I turned my screen on and then it would come back. I was also having a drop out when tethering. When I turned on my phone to see the problem, my 4G was gone and then would come back. Similar to what WiFi does if it is set to turn off when the screen is turned off. So I went hunting for a setting and lo and behold, there is a setting under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks to "Enable always-on mobile data" and mine was unchecked.

I'm new to HTC and Sense. I came from an original Droid and such a setting did not exist on it, so it must be something added by HTC. In any event, I haven't seen this happening anymore. I haven't verified that I'm not getting throttled as others have pointed as a possibly happening, but I do know that my 4G isn't dropping out when I tether now. I need do more testing to say that definitively, but so far, the few times I have tethered since checking the box, I haven't noticed any issue.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Over on AC, someone said they increased the wifi timeout and it fixed the problem.

Copied from that thread:

I figured out what my problem was with the Wi-Fi disconnecting. I went into the settings and it was set for Wi-Fi sleep after fifteen minutes. Made the change to never sleep and haven't had an issue since.
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
I took mine to the store and let them do everything so they can have in the notes that a Verizon "Tech" did it for me. Only thing to do is pretty much wait till we get a response from HTC or VZW on this problem.

Everytime you lose connection ala 4G, the box is unchecked auto. Once you have connection to the server, it turns back on whether its 3G, 1X or 4G. Give it a try with a wifi device, go to a youtube HD vid or netflix and see if the 4G logo (connection) dissappears or not.

That's one of the first things I did but made no difference. Changing the Wifi channels, reset mobile hotspot, reset phone, exchange sim cards, two tickets for engineer to check towers, traded phones, exchange sim card one more time on new phone and still no cigar.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Enable always on Mobile Data is checked and WiFi sleep policy is never.

This is pretty frustrating.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Oh yeah, duh! lol. Wonder if the slower charge via usb will keep up with battery drain of streaming a movie using mhs.

They can know whatever they want, I have unlimited mhs and data.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Hm... I have wifi set to never connect but my laptop still connects to the phone. I thought that was just for wifi to VZW network? I want to always use 4g for that. Is there another wifi setting?
[HTC Rezound] tenbender:
This is a very interesting thread and some cause for concern. I have had a trouble free Rezound up to this point and decided this AM to try some tests. I am in the DFW area and I get a fringe 4G connection in my house if the phone is placed near a window. Other than that I have solid 3G in the house.

With my 4G connection this morning, I tethered my Tablet and surfed for a couple of hours with no dropouts what soever. I reread this thread on the tablet and decided to see if the connection is throttled back in any way. I had Youtube running on my table doing a 1080 video, Youtube on my wife's tablet running the same video, and running speakeasy tests on my grandson's tablet. No dropouts anywhere and the speed test was the same as running it on one device only.

Could this be an issue with certain areas of the country with their network? Don't know, but I could not make the connection fail.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Just got off the phone with Verizon and they said that there had been a user that had done extensive troubleshooting, replacing SIM cards, replacing the phone, to no avail. It is now with hTC and since they just finished an hTC Thunderbolt update, they are working on releasing an OTA for the Rezound in "late December". I pressed him for a solid datebecausewe'realready in late December and he said that was all he had.

So FWIW, OTA software update due in the next week? I told him I'd call back next week to get an update if I don't see an update by then.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Wouldn't hold my breath lol we all know how Verizon is.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I finally called to complain about this and about general 4g outages and my rep didn't give me any reason to think he had heard of this problem before. I navigated to the tech support>internet dept. Is there some dept. I should go to where they know about this?

Check your Sleep Mode setting. If it's on automatic it turns off all data connections when the screen turns off.

Also just found out Juice Defender was turning off network connections whenever phone was asleep. But did not have JD installed when having mhs issues.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Okay, so I tried running Speedtest.net while using mhs and it got hung up during test then gave me a network connection error.

Tried different servers and same thing. The only one that worked was the one that it was set for the first test and that was San Jose, about 300 miles away or something. Then I changed to L.A. and this happened. So then I tried San Diego and Tijuana and same thing.

Does this mean it is definitely a Verizon issue or cannot tell?
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
tried it tonight on my thunderbolt (using it as a hotspot on my 5th line) and I got the same problems. Trying to stream a video and it kept buffering so I tried a speed test and got the network error. I switched over to wifi tether and it worked better. Unfortunately, in my office, the best signal I can get is usually only 1 bar, so I don't know if that is part of the problem.
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
The speedtest servers don't matter, has nothing to do with the drop outs. It's a hit and miss type of thing. I was the one that called and complained to verizon.

Seems people arae getting better results using Wifi Teether than the actual mobile hotspot app. I will give you the results on that next week, getting a new Rezound and am gonna personally root the phone try it. Will post results for that, im still thinking its the actual mobile hotspot app itself.
[HTC Rezound] yg420:

Thanks for the heads up! Gonna try it soon!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Right, I know the servers themselves aren't the problem, just trying to find out if it's the phone or network. Would like it to be Verizon's fault so I can get refunded the entire amount I've paid for mhs.

Okay, I searched market and am trying out Barnacle since I think you are talking about an app to get wifi tether going. (my first smartphone so this is new to me)

Hahahaha.... Okay, can't use most wifi tethering apps since I'm not rooted.

I'm glad I'm cracking myself up doing all of this. :D

Tried 1-Click Tether (no root required) but no go. Tried it with wifi off and then on. As expected (by me) when I turned on wifi phone went to my home internet connection. Can only turn on "Internet Connection Mode" when connected via usb.

p.s. Every time I see your "Teether" typo my breasts cringe. :eek: lol.
[HTC Rezound] displacedbuck:
I have no doubt that it is the hotspot app. Some places it seems to work fine. Other places I either can't connect to it or can't stay connected to it. In those same places, wifi-tether connects and stays connected.

I had the exact same issue on the revolution, exchanged it multiple times, and finally traded it for the rezound. Now I find the same issues on the rezound.

I hope they fix the hotspot app. Can't use any encryption with wifi-tether for now.
[HTC Rezound] DIncLover:
Forgive if off topic....

Rooted ... Open Garden Wifi app for tethering .... ~ at least 20 Mb/s ... never any problems.

(Of course, I'm not trying to depend on my Rezound as my sole ISP 24/7)
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Can't wait for S-OFF already. Don't want to forgo my warranty for an unlocked bootloader just yet.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
just tried this, looks exactly the same as wireless tether, getting the same results on my kindle fire, it doesn't show up...
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
OTA seems to have fixed this for me. Anyone else?

Scratch that, it's still an issue. So I just called VZW again. They reset the data connection on their end, blah blah, and recognize now that the OTA did not fix it. Raised to a higher level Tech Support and finally initiated what she called a "Product Issue" form that will be sent to the manufacturer so that if it is something that can be fixed via a software OTA update, it can make it to the next update.

I asked about timeline and she said the OTA would generally take 60-90 days once they recognize it. So I expressed disappointment over having to pay for a feature that doesn't perform. She credited me another $30 (they already did that last month), so at least I'm not paying for it. But I don't know how much more patient I can be. One more month and I'm going to request they switch me to the Nexus.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Update: Called Tech Support and they said that SU2 (Service Update 2) was due to release March 15. I asked if that was going to be Android 4.0 and he said that he doesn't believe so, as those are tagged slightly differently than a Service Update.

If that's true, then maybe there will be an OTA before ICS. He wouldn't give me the one-time credit, this time, though, since I said it worked intermittently. Regardless, if we don't get the OTA in the next week or so, they'll be hearing from me again!
[HTC Rezound] 4ktvs:
4G LTE drops on my razr, useing USB or just phone data. It seems to drop every 48H and I can't tell when it will happen and verys from 5-10min to less than 10sec. It has really started to piss me off. When a AT&T phone does a better job holding a data connetion than a "good" verizon one and THEY PUT CRAP LIKE "most reliable 4G network" ALL OVER TV, it start's to get you. I plan on going step by step and then maybe ask for the upcoming driod phone.( I don't know how I should go on, becuase a lot of times calling right when it's going on would not work to well.)

I have been making videos of this crap and will bulid my case up.
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
I completely stopped relying on an update. The mobile hotspot app is broken, period. I use wireless tetheer all day and its pretty damn reliable. Phone doesn't heat up as bad as it used to, it NEVER drops 4G randomly. Im able to connect all my wifi devices (old Dinc, Kindle, PS3, etc.) with no issues.

It's like I pressumed, the Mobile Hotspot App was the reason for the dropped data. I'm glad I rooted my phone.

4ktvs The service has nothing to do, if your phone hardly drops any 4G data by itself, then you are perfectly fine. Verizon needs to update or change the hotspot app.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
You are tempting me to root! Obviously we can't depend on hTC and Verizon. If we don't get a fix soon, it is time to take matters into our own hands.
[HTC Rezound] Bluesnake01:
Trust me, I was hesitant about Rooting before because of my insurance but people have lock the phone back and gotten a replacement. I never replaced my old Dinc either.

Having wireless tether that actually works, an ICS rom that works flawlessly, stable, reliable and feels sooooo much better than the stock GB and its debloated. Root the phone, you will not be dissapointed. You will be asking yourself why you never did it from the beginning.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Same here, I dropped mhs also & wireless tether works basically perfect with all my multiple WiFi devices (two Kindles, Ipad 2, my daughters ipod touch, 3 PC & 1 Mac LT etc etc)
[HTC Rezound] 4ktvs:
If hardly is every day to 2 days and can't make it to three days with out disconneting from 4G/data. Ok, but I think it should work better than that.

Did the moblie hotspot app make your phone drop data when not in use?

I don't want to call again intill I know what to do.

I have made about 7 videos from the time I put the first one on youtube and they are all like that happening in 3-5 bar places with -69dbm to -86dbm.

So if any one could help, that would be nice.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Did anyone ever try doing *#*#4636#*#* and set it to LTE mode?
[HTC Rezound] 4ktvs:
Well I guess I live in a bad spot that will take up to 6 mouths to fix.

That it all, form 4ktvs
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
My hotspot books! I use it now instead of my 4G aircard for work and no issues. Aircard totally different situation. Forgive me if this sounds stupid but I don't think I'm using an app... Just using the drop down toolbar..is that the same thing everyone is referring to?

KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] SamXp:
Yes, I use the same built in Mobile HotSpot application. So you're saying you can use MHS, and stream video, and 4G never drops out? Mine drops out every few minutes. Usually for just a second, but enough to cause Netflix or Amazon Instant Video to stop playing.
