[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] deckoff:
As far as I get it , data2sd makes the some see a folder named data on your ext partition on your sdcard as a /data partition, and the phone sees it thus way and all installed apps go there.

apps2sd make symlinks of your apps to a "data" folder in your ext partition on your sd card. The ROM does not see this free space, and apps are moved to sdcard and symlinks are created upon reboot.

So both ensure the same, ore space for your apps, but what are the pros and cons of each one...

Please, correct me if I am wrong about my assumptions about how these apps work.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Hey guys.

I have noticed large variations in the signal that I have. E.g., somewhere that I normally have 2 bars, from time to time it may display 5 bars or no bars at all, but I can still make a call.

The real problem occurs after long period on standby, after which it seems not to recognize my sim. It has happened 3 times in a 4 day period. The problem is solved if I restart the device or disable-enable the plane mode, but this is not a real solution, since meanwhile I've missed a few calls...

I have no weird apps installed, and I am experiencing the signal variation since day 1, without any apps installed.

Any ideas? Contact the retailer maybe? I bought it from expansys on April 11th, what is their DOA period?

Contact HTC maybe? Or get a new sim?

Your help is highly appreciated!
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I suffer signal variations too, I can go from 5 bard to 2 bars and back all in the same location.. Ive never had 0 bars, or had a call drop. But its something that bothers me

What you should do is

Check with your provider for any faults in your area

Request a new sim

Contact your retailer

contact HTC

All in that order.
[HTC One S] Torparn:
I also have this problem. I have tried a new simcard but still problem. I hope HTC will solve this, because it seems to be a software problem.

[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
Thanks for the quick answer.

I do not mind the signal variation, since I can make calls even with 0 bars (!), of course I don't know if this affects the battery life...

My real problem is, not recognizing the sim... I also forgot to mention that the very first time I inserted my sim into the phone, it didn't recognized it either.

I 'll get a new sim from my provider, hoping it's not the phone's fault.

In the meantime, I 'll let the retailer know about the situation and ask about the DOA period, in case that doesn't work.

You mean, just the signal variation, or the sim not recognized after standby?
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
you should rly try to get new sim card, could be sim problem.

For signal variation, it probably drains battery life. If signal is weak, or it drops from 1 bar to 0, then back to 1 (had this situation at my work) - battery gets drained RLY fast.

But that was in case when I rly didnt have or had rly weak signal. Dont know with this, but I guess if phone trys to "recover" signal, it will consume much more battery
[HTC One S] Torparn:
I mean the signal variations. I also have an Galaxy Nexus and there is not a problem. Sorry for my bad english:o
[HTC One S] aza314:
The SIM problem is a separate issue, which you should hopefully get fixed.

Now regarding the signal strength bars. I have used a lot of expensive RF test equipment. Most of it more expensive than your car. Or house.

None of them measured signal level in "bars", usually it was dBm (mW in 50Ohm). Unless you know what those bars correspond to in real power levels, then it's rather hard to say if the variation of a few bars is something to worry about.

Digital comms systems tend to go from "working great" to "no signal" within the span of 6dB. And that's a very small range when one looks at the variation of signal level in a typical urban environment, even if the phone is static (position-wise).
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
It's been some days now and I don't have any more sim issues, so all good.

Maybe it had sth to do with where the sim was touching the phone... (I tried cleaning the sim and reinserting it a couple of times)

But the signal variations continue... I reached HTC and they said to try GSM only mode, and also safe mode, but same behavior there. - now rechecking and unsure about results, gosh it seems complete random.

aza314, I understand what you 're saying, but what about this... the signal variations are so annoying, that rarely I might unlock my phone to get a temp "no service - emergency calls only" message (normally I have signal again in 1 minute or so), in the same spot I was making calls normally some minutes ago (or later).

Guys, I need your input here... if you have never experienced such a behavior on your phone, if it's not a known bug, I need to know, in order to report it DOA.

edit: on the other hand, maybe it's related to this issue, so hoping to get fixed in the first update...

Hi everyone. Who can help? After i flash a rom, e.g. Criskelo, some apps are missing, like music hub, readers hub, opera, etc. i have a titanium back up and cwm back up. if i restore with titanium, i still can't find the restore apps. what should i restore using cwm: modem, kernel, system or data? thanks for any sugestions.

Trying to set custom screen brightness values,but the light sensor seems undetectable to apps like Sensor List and Brightness Root. Also, custom values do not seem too change anything in the MIUI settings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
The light sensor on our phones are non standard. So it can only be controlled by the ROM and can't be changed.

The fact that it's even working is a bit of a miracle itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gwhobbs:

I listen to Pandora in my car via bluetooth every time I go somewhere. It's slightly annoying to have to launch the app every time. I'm wondering if there's an app out there that will automatically launch a program when my phone is paired with a specific device (like the Pioneer deck in my car).

I'd like my music to start up automatically when I start my car.

Anyone know of anything?

Thanks!

Locale+Locale Bluetooth Plug-in might solve this issue for you. I'm not allowed to post links but make a search for it on play.google.com.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Instead of Locale, I'd use Tasker. Locale is kind of outdated, and Tasker is less expensive (iirc) and has more support - from both the developer and the community. I never found a real need for the app so I don't know much about it. There is a 7 day trial available on the Tasker website, use that to decide if it can do what you'd like. There may already be a configuration on the website to do what you want to do, so search through those as well.

Check out YouBlue

I developed YouBlue for this purpose. It can auto start a variety of music apps on Bluetooth connect, but that's not all. It's a service, so it listens for events like wifi connect/disconnect, Bluetooth connect/disconnect in an attempt to turn your bluetooth adaptor on or off as needed. The algorithm is completely customizable in the settings.

Best of all, it's free. Search for it on the play store or amazon app store. YouBlue - Smart Bluetooth Auto

When I drive away from home in the morning, my phone never leaves my pocket. It detects loss of wifi connection, turns on Bluetooth to see if my car is in range, then once connected, starts pandora.

[TouchPad General] nightanole:
Well i cant program worth a lick but i can still contribute :)

Facts:

In order for current tablets to charge at full current the data lines need to be lifted above 1v from ground (xoom1v,TP2.75v,Ipad2.2v/2.75v).

The 2007 high current charge standard for usb devices is simply to have the data lines shorted together at the charger socket. But no one conforms to standards.

So here is my universal charge system based off of a tmobile charger you can get for $7 shipped if you hunt.

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4316-b85a-3de2fcaa1aa4&inCart=True&catCode=22

Im about 75% certain that this Mod will allow any device to charge at full current draw.

All you have to do is pop the top off of the tmobile charger and solder 2 50-100k 603 sized resistors to the pads shown. This will give you a voltage divider of 2.5v on the data lines, and they are preshorted together since the tmobile conforms to the 2007 standard. ive tested this on several tablets and they all draw full current. its also safe for all devices since the charger does not go above 5.3v and usb data lines are 0-5v anyway (below 200mv is a zero and above 3.3v is a one).

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As you can see the left resistors make 50k to ground, and the slightly lower right resistors make 50k to 5v.

If there is more interest for this i can make a more detailed post :)
[TouchPad General] olmos.lalo:
Woah

Somehow I found this after many hours of searching lol, I want this EXACT charger with the exact same mod you did, Is there any way I could buy it of from you or anything? I don't think I'm capable in doing this lol (I don't exactly have a soldering iron, nor resistors) Reply here or PM me :)
[TouchPad General] nightanole:
If you find the charger, and pay for shipping to and from me(ohio), ill do the mod for free. The mod only takes a few min, and the resistors only cost a penny.
[TouchPad General] olmos.lalo:
Hey I'd be extremely interested in doing this, but just to clarify the charger in question is this one http://www.all4cellular.com/product/t-mobile-dual-usb-wall-charger-w-micro-usb-cable.html ? Also, will this be able to charge up my TouchPad and my phone at the same time?
[TouchPad General] nightanole:
Thats the one. Ya you can charge 2 things at the same time, the charger is rated at 3 amps total. Dead any tablet would only draw 2 amps, and thats only until they are at 25%, then they start drawing less and less till full. Pm me for more info.
[TouchPad General] dc211:
Would this be able to help jump start a touchpad that had it's battery discharge to low?
[TouchPad General] nightanole:
The TP cant tell the diff between my mod charger and its official wall charger. Normally to bring it back from the dead, you need to plug it into its official wall charger, it will trickle charge till 2%, then auto boot. You then have to un plug the charger (android bug) before it gets to the desktop, and then plug the charger back in after it gets to the desktop and connects to wifi and stuff. If you download "current widget" it can tell you how much its drawing from the charger. If you just plug it into the wall and come back the next day it will still be dead, becuase once it auto boots, it wont charge, then it will die again.

Its really dumb hp made mandatory boot when plugged in.
[TouchPad General] s1m4an:
Can you please post some more theory about the charging voltages?

I found a 5V 2A charger but it only supplies 100ma to the touchpad...

Ok now that I went through your post with a bit more attention, you say that the data lines need to be lifted above 1V, so I guess I'll have to re-think my charger since it only has two wires, but it should be enough if I use a resistor from 5V to the Data line?

I've gotten rusty with my electronic skills...
[TouchPad General] nightanole:
You need to make a voltage bridge. So a resistor between 5v and the data lines, and the same value resistor between the data lines and ground. That puts 2.5v on the data lines, that causes most tablets to start sucking 2 amps. I would use 50k-100k resistors.
[TouchPad General] s1m4an:
Yup, after adding the voltage divider, the Touchpad draws 2000mA.

Except while its plugged in my modified charger the touchscreen goes nuts. There is a slight tremble happening with the original charger, but this is way too drastic.

Any idea how to stabilize the voltage? I'm just taking a stab in the dark, but it seems to me that this is the culprit.
[TouchPad General] nightanole:
If you can, check your voltage unplugged, at 1.5-2 amps, and charged. Alot of chargers dont regulate. Another thing you can try is putting a capacitor on the chargers output as a filter, from ground to 5v. You could start off with .1uf and work your way up. Remember the charger isnt charging, its only job is to put out 5v constant.

Also check your usb cable. Ill let you do the math, but figure the voltage drop of a 12ft loop of 30 gauge at 2 amps. too thin of a wire and the TB might be seeing 5v, goes to charge, line bogs to 3v, it stops charging, line goes back to 5v...
[HTC Rezound] GGerk:
I am currently with us cellular and have the samsung aviator. us cellular is the only 4g lte carrier in my area and will be the only one for a long time. I love the 4g lte speeds, its crazy fast, but the phone leaves a lot to desire. My question is, if I buy the rezound out right, and put the 4g lte sim card into the rezound, will it be able to use the us cellular towers and their frequencies?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
I don't think it's that easy.

I'm pretty sure it's not that easy.

I'm also sure there's some tinkering with the data settings you'd have to do, assuming their SIM even fits in the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Good chance the frequencies they use for lte are different too, so I highly doubt it, but unless the Samsung you have uses a micro sim, the sim card will fit just fine, they've been the same for years.
[HTC Rezound] phio:
The LTE network isn't the same frequency. Just wait until Verizon has 4g in your area.
[Sony Tablet S] ultimix911:
Hi,

I got a new Sony Tablet S a few weeks back and I have this really weird problem.

As soon as I on Wifi and connect to my college network, it connects fine and webpages open as expected.

But after a minute or so, all data transfer stops even though I am connected to the network. Initially I thought

it was a hardware issue with my tablet but when I went to my nearest McDonalds and connected to their connection, everything

worked fine and there was no interruption in the data transfer.

I tried a couple of other hotspots around town and they seemed to work fine.

So, now obviously its a problem with my college network. The funny thing is that my laptop, my cellphone and about a thousand other devices

connected to the same network work just fine and do not stop exchanging data all of a sudden.

I have tried various apps available on the Play store but none helped.

My (geeky) friend told me that the issue may be some sort of interference between the routers (Cisco Aironet series, I think), as every floor in my hostel has 4 routers, but he could not give a solution. I have also referred the problem to my system administrator but he too could not come up with a solution.

If anyone has a solution to this, please help!

Thanks in advance

[Sony Tablet S] 05081983:
I have the same problem with my tablet, and when I called Sony for technical support, they said that the tablet is not compatible with the router I have. Which in my honest opinion dont think is the problem.

But as a way around, what I do is turn off the wifi for few seconds and then turn it back on.

This way the problem gets resolved.

I hope it helps you.
[Sony Tablet S] alba.mx:
I have exactly the same problem, unfortunately the problem is with the wifi in my home, my sony tablet connect and disconnects, or it stop transmitting after a while, but other devices (my htc phone, my tablet, ipad, iphone) doesn't have this problem.

and as you said, when I go to other places the tablet works fine.

Someone said me that the tablet is not compatible with the motorola router of my ISP

I've been searching but there is no solution, by now I turn off and turn on the wifi every time I lost internet :(
[Sony Tablet S] ultimix911:
Thanks people, but this is hardly a solution. It means I need to turn on and turn off the wifi every 60 seconds to browse the internet. Bye bye downloads, buffering videos and installing apps through the play store :mad:

Is the Sony Tablet S the only tablet in the world that is incompatible with routers? Then Sony should make sure that its clearly listed on their website that routers from major companies are not compatible with our Tablet
[Sony Tablet S] Pajo_pm:
I solved the problem .. at last for me,

1 - turn off wifi.

2- in accounts - turn off "auto connect"

3- turn on wifi ( test if work )

4- reconect the accounts

too simple .. but works , try it..
[Sony Tablet S] ultimix911:
I am sorry but its not working (that is if by auto connect, you meant auto sync)

Are you sure you are telling the solution to the problem I mentioned or something else?
[Sony Tablet S] gizmothemighty:
Hi, I was suffering exactly the same problem and it boiled down that was a compatibility issue with the router. Unfortunately I could not find any other solution but replace the router itself! :mad:
[Sony Tablet S] ultimix911:
Looks like I have to do the same. except I cant make my institute change their routers :(
[Sony Tablet S] rjsmith2007:
What kind of encryption are you using on your router? Try disabling the encryption and see if the problem persists.

Also, what channel are you broadcasting on? It could be a highly populated channel, try changing that if you can.

I don't know what options are available through your routers configuration page.
[Sony Tablet S] ultimix911:
I will enqure with my system admin and get back.

Meanwhile, I got a workaround to this problem. There is a freeware called MyPublicWifi which creates a virtual hotspot on my computer. This hotspot works fine and I can share my router's internet through this, even though it means I need to keep my PC on while browsing on my tablet.
[Sony Tablet S] marktaiwan:
I have experienced exactly the same problem since I bought the tablet. The router I have at home is a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH2. After a very long time trial-and-error, I have found a solution to it.

(1) Router setting: Force to set the 300Mbps mode of Buffalo router to 20MHz, not auto nor 40MHz. Some routers may display 150Mbps mode.

(2) Tablet setting: Settings->Wifi->advanced->Wi-fi disconnect policy, set to "Never"

You may try it and I think this will resolve the wifi disconnection problem. As for the reason, I think it is related to 11n because I have not found any problem with 11a/b/g router yet.

Hope this helps!!
