sounds like the apns are not correct. I have been running straighttalk sim on atrix 4g for allmost 6 months. have to enter the apns every time i flash a ICS rom. If you do not put them in correctly no data. (i think 1 time i had a capital letter that was supposed to be lowercase and it did not work)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I was wondering if anyone is currently using Sean Z's Sky Ice Cream ROM and has used the NFC on the ROM? It says that the NFC is "limitted" working. I was wondering has any one used it with one or more of the NFC apps from the Android Market to read tags or transfer info? I Know "Google Wallet does not work because there is no SE on the SkyRocket (yet). I just wanted to know about the NFC abilities working with existing apps from the market without trouble.

I am asking because I am about ready to try out one of the ROMS other than "stock" and NFC is a must! I want to buy some NFC tags and start using them to launch tasks on the phone and transfer information. I think I have narrowed it down to the latest build of Alien or the Sky Ice Cream ROM. It just depends on which one seems more stable (including the stability of NFC). I am tired of waiting for AT&T to get off the pot and enable NFC on these phones. ISIS is supposed to be rolling out in a couple of select test markets this month so they (AT&T) could theoretically update the NFC capabilities on the Stock ROM at any time...but who knows? I have offered a decent donation to anyone that can enable NFC in the stock ROM and I am going to wait until that offer expires before I flash one of the ROMS mentioned above, but I don't think its going to happen on the stock ROM.

So, if anyone can give me some feedback on the issue I would appriciate it. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
I use sky ics. Along with a tag writer app by NXP Semiconductors. You can find it in the market by searching NFC in the market. Seems to work great

The night clock background on my Dinc was much darker than the background on the Rezound. Is there any way to make the background black/turn it off without losing the clock feature?

Also, you could turn on the night clock from the Desk clock screen on the Dinc. Again, with the Rezound, once you go to the Desk clock, it takes about 5 minutes to enter the night clock mode. Is there a way/button to toggle to get in the night clock mode?
[HTC Rezound] surfer2.3:
My Dinc has the AMOLD display which is known for deep, dark blacks. My Rez has an LCD...black background is slightly backlit.

I couldn't find a fast way to get to the standard night clock. After installing and removing numerous night clocks apps I settled on the app NIGHTCLOCK which allows independent adjustment of text and background brightness. Problem solved for me...ymmv.
[HTC Rezound] rockehill10:
Which Night Clock

Thanks for the heads-up on the difference between the Dinc (AMOLD display) and the Rez LCD.

Can you tell me which NightClock you used. The one I purchased was Night Clock (Ned Fox) but it does not have an adjustment for the backlight and was essentially no darker than the stock. There are probably 5-6 Night Clocks in the market and I thought I had tried them all and still didn't get the black like on the Dinc.

Hdmi mirroring over wifi isn't here yet. Samsung is working on it and standards are not final yet. But hdmi over wifi would be like a laptop's clone display or the evo 3d's mhl adapter to connect to hdmi. It won't be limited to just specific files but full screen sharing - as in whatever you see on the phone will show on the tv. Hopefully we'll see this later this year.

[Android General] gbalerdi:
Hi all

Thinking about the Wifi Sleep Policy settings:

I could not find the exact details of what the different options mean, but with a little common sense:

a) When screen turns off :

- if you have a wifi connection established : When the screen times out, it will turn off wifi and swith to mobile data.

- if you do not have a wifi connection established : The phone is constantly scanning for known wifi networks. When the screen times out, it will turn off wifi and stop all scanning.

b) Never :

- if you have a wifi connection established : when the screen times out the phone will keep that connection.

- if you do not have a wifi connection established : The phone is scanning. When the screen times out, it will keep wifi ON and continue to scan permanently for known networks.

c) Never when plugged in: it is not very clear, but would say its b) if the phone is charging, and a) if the phone is not charging.

Thinking a bit about this, it appears to me that none of this options is the ideal situation.

I would say that the ideal situation is that if I have a wifi connection established, then keep wifi on and the connection for as long as the network is there.

But if I do not have a connection established, I would like the phone to turn off the wifi interface, and turn off all scanning so as not to drain the battery while I am on the streets away from home. Then only begin scanning when I turn the screen back on, and if it no wifi network to connect, then turn off wifi again when the screen times out.

In other words, I think the best situation is a mix of behaviours of a) when there is no wifi connection established, and b) if there is a wifi connection established.

Does this make sense ? or am I crazy? I'd like your opinions please.

Anybody thought about this before? Is there any app or mod that will implement this behavior ?

Thanks

Gonzalo
[Android General] ZanshinG1:
Sleep Policy is pretty simple:

Never means the wifi radio is never turned off. This is default now on Honeycomb and up, with fairly good reason.

When screen is off means.. the radio is turned off when the screen goes off regardless of whether you have a connection.

Only when plugged in means that the wifi radio is only turned off when the screen is off and it's not plugged in.

Sounds like you want Tasker http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

It will let you do what you describe.

Juice Defender will, as well, but it's terrible terrible software.

As to your problem, on most devices, scanning is usually reduced quite a bit when the screen is off. It's not as much of a battery drain as people think.

I'm in the habit of disabling wifi when I'm not at home or in the office. There's really no reason to leave it on when you're not going to be using it unless you want open network notification.
[Android General] gbalerdi:
Thank you , I didn't know that the default is now Never. I'll set it this way.

And I guess I don't really have a real life problem, it's just that it got me thinking and came to the conclusions above.

And thanks for the link to the app, I will check it out.

Gonza

edit: oh I see you are the wifi fixer dev. Thanks so much for both replies.
[Android General] tweakradje:
Is your phone rooted? Do you have root explorer and sqlite installed. Then you can have more control over the time wifi goes to sleep after screen is turned off.

BUT: it remains on for 15 minutes by default.

Now start root explorer. Navigate to

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases and open settings.db

If you have sqlite installed you seesome tables. Open secure table.

Add New record. name is wifi_idle_ms and give it a value in milliseconds you want.

Default (if wifi_idle_ms is not present) is 15*60*1000 ms. I have 60000 (1 minute)

Cheers
[Android General] androidapk.net:
I use juice defender. Why is it such a terrible software? I've not used others, so I have no means of comparison. Perhaps you can enlighten me?

[Android General] gbalerdi:
Thank you! Yes I am rooted, I am running CM7 latest kang, but I did not know all this.

[Android General] Miche1asso:
Interesting. It works indeed! If one knows a bit about Unix shell, I did the modification via adb shell. Obviously the phone must be rooted and have sqlite3 (the binary) installed.

This is how to do it:

- connect the phone via USB to the PC

- execute "adb shell" (adb must be installed) from the DOS prompt. You are into the phone

Then execute the following steps:

su
cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
cp settings.db settings.db.ORIG
sqlite3 settings.db

Now you are "inside" the db. Type ("sqlite>" is just the prompt):

sqlite> select * from secure;

and check if wifi_idle_ms is not present. If it isn't, as it shouldn't, type:

sqlite> insert into secure values(60,'wifi_idle_ms',30000);

where instead of 60 you can write any number that is not used already in the list, being that the unique key in the table.

I used 30000 (30000 microseconds = 30 ms) but one can put the value s/he prefers.
[Android General] irontech:
Thanks to Miche1asso for the commands, you've made my day :good::fingers-crossed:

This thread is good, useful, it did help up reduce the default wifi idle timeout :good: Just tested on xperia sola, perfect on my custom idea idle timeout (to 120000ms)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cychoi75:
I am just about to give up any software solution and contact HP to see if they can fix this as a hardware problem.

But before I do that, i thought it might be worthwhile to post my problem here first.

My touchpad has been running fine, and operating without any problems until recently when I installed new apps or downloaded new files on the touchpad.

While the touchpad was up and running, everything was fine, the apps appeared in the menu, and the files copied could be accessed without any problems.

In terms of functionality there was nothing to suggest any problems with the TP.

However, whenever I reboot the TP (soft or hard reboot), all newly installed apps or files disappear and the TP reverts back to a previous state. Nothing that I do to the TP remains after a reboot.

So I downloaded the latest webosdoctor 3.0.5 to reset the TP but after getting to about the dreaded 12% mark, the webosdoctor fails, spewing out a lot of message about parted failure and something about the flash.

Following all the tips on using novacom to boot the uImage and accessing the TP from novaterm does not seem to work as any fix initiated is lost on the following reboot.

Even while logged in to the TP via novaterm, and using lvm.static to remove the logical and physical volume to see if I can get webosdoctor to recreate the partitions did not work.

The command lvm.static vgremove reported to successfully remove the logical drive, but on subsequent scan using lvm.static vgscan shows that the logical drive is still persistent.

Removing physical volume using lvm.static pvremove did not work.

In frustration I deleted /dev/mmcblk0p14 (and all the mmcblk0???). Consequently the lvm.static scans showed no logical drive available.... but on subsequent reboot they are all back.

Webosdoctor again failed with same problem when rebooted.

It seems like the TP is falling back to some default memory (partition) state and nothing that I do remains persistent. I can't see anyway I can force the partition tables to reset as any changes are lost on reboot.

So unless someone can suggest something different, I am resigned to having to call HP and send my TP in for repairs.

Does anyone else have similar experience?

P.S. this started after I updated to webOS 3.0.5 but I can't say this was the exact cause.

Have you tried to run the WebOS 3.0.0 Doctor? It will resize all of the partitions and leave you with a fresh copy of WebOS. It can be found here: "http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions".

Here is what I did:

1.Completely shut down

2.Boot into recovery menu by holding Volume-Up button and then pressing the power button.

3.Run WebOS 3.0.0 doctor

If it halts for any reason, let me know what percentage it stopped on, and perhaps I can help you out.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cychoi75:
As I have tried to outline in the OP, I have tried webosdoctoring from version 3.0.0 to 3.0.5

It doesn't have any effect as any changes to the partition is lost once the TP reboots.

I know webosdoctor 3.0.0 is the standard answer for all partition related problems, but I think in my case it is not a partition problem but more of the flash controller, that is hardware related. It might have gotten itself into a funny state where it is constantly going into fall back mode after every reboot.

I'm having the same problem.

Device:

HP Touchpad 32 GB

WebOS: 3.0.4

Android: CM9 A2

Problem:

Every time the device is restarted, all data "magically" restores to how it was. Example: if I format the internal memory and I restart the device, all data remains as if I didn't format it.

Description:

My Touchpad has somehow gotten into a state of data lock, where I can't format it, nor recreate the filesystem in anyway.

What works:

- It loops while booting to Android

- It boots to Clockwork Recovery

- It boots to WebOS Recovery

- It boots to WebOS

- Everything works inside WebOS

- I can connect through Novaterm

What I've tried so far with no success:

- Recreating the file system

- Formating the internal storage

- Running a checkdisk

- Partitioning the storage

- Reinstalling Android

- Running WebOS Doctor 3.0.0, 3.0.4, 3.0.5

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cychoi75:
my experience of this problem has been that no software solution exists.

As far as my research went, I had tried almost everything to rebuild the memory, but nothing lasted after a reboot.

I have also read somewhere (it's been a while) that this is a hardware problem and require a hardware solution.

It's unfortunate that the HP service centre you called refused to accept the job on warranty.

The guy I had chatted with online from HP was very helpful. And the guy I called (Australia) didn't ask any more questions after having read the chat logs.

So my device was picked up by the courier, after two weeks was returned all fixed. in fact I think I got a refurbished model because the crack I had in the speaker on the device I sent in was no longer there :)

The OP's issue is very different from the one you described in your post. Are you sure it resolves this particular issue?

I'm in the same boat with a "read-only" TouchPad that is near useless. I can't even sell it for parts because of all of the personal information that it has on it that I can't do anything about. I'm going to try your suggestion, but if it doesn't do anything I think my only option is to run it through a degausser and sell it for parts...

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCWells72:
If it's not the same issue as the one in the original post, it's definitely the same issue experienced by a pretty significant number of owners who have followed the exact steps I describe in the linked post and successfully revived what were previously assumed to be bricked devices. Basically what happens is that the volume set gets corrupted somehow so that the 'store' volume can be neither added nor removed, and pretty much everything including webOS Doctor complains about the LVM. The solution that worked for myself and others is basically to perform a raw overwrite of the underlying physical device to get it out of this half-formed state so that the volume management utilities will work again, and then the entire sequence of steps leading up to webOS Doctor 3.0.0 works as well, ultimately leading to a restore back to webOS 3.0.5 and, for me, the WIP JB ROM.

I hope it works for you. If it doesn't, let us know the results and perhaps we can still help you.
