I think GPRS "Always-On" is how the device was intended to be & finally is almost 2years later! :evil:

To further illustrate GPRS has a ALWAYS been advertised as an "Always-On" service from it's conception. In addition almost all Mobile Phones implimenting GPRS technology have had this "Always-On" connectivity behavior from the beginning. It is simply an embarrassment to Microsoft that this standard function available on Mobile Terminals for over a year of the release of the XDA was finally instituted on this device. So this just appears to be something new to XDA users.

It does not effect your battery life any more than having your radio on.

If data cost is your concern use a CSD dial-up connection for your Inbox operations. There is an option in Inbox to choose which connection to use. The CSD function will act exactly as you are wishing it to. It will only take up to about 2.5 minutes of you talk time. I so far have not noticed a substantial increase in speed during Inbox operation using CSD verse GPRS.

To me I was furious that I had to wait as long as I did for the XDA to act like it's lesser Mobile Phone brothers. Personally the freedom of "Always-On" has changed the way I do business amazingly. The amount of freedom it provides me in giving me an almost "true-real-time" virtual office is incredible.

If data connection is a real tool to you, then you wont be able to live without a dedicated connection. If it is a novelty or cool factor, then you will always be worried about accumulating data costs, but don't worry if data usage is going to be successful for providers they are going to have to re-think their price structures (ala T-Mo unlimited) to eliminate or diminish this concern of customers if they want data services to be adopted by subscribers & simply to justify/recoup their cost to build these data networks. So be patient :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
if you have a program like messenger running it would have to send some data over GPRS once in awhile not sure how much it would be maybe

it's soo little it dont really matter

but if it's like one MB a week with XDA always on and GPRS always on

it would be pricy

a bit anyway
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Silversurfer:
GPRS always on is a good thing, but at leased in Germany it is still very expensive.

So I like to have a option to switch it off.

GPRS monitor is really a cool tool for getting control over the GPRS costs.

Thanks 2 ARZLEB who pointed me the right direction. :D

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] ARZLEB:
Silver its my pleasure anytime if i could help dont spare me

As to anwser the above posts about GPRS "always on" be sure that "always on" is used for the devices also that goes into Stand By therefor killing the active connection. Some of the ROMs from o2 and QTEK had this matter solved in the latest upgrades to keep GPRS always ON when device goes into stand by

BUT

What we are discussing here is the ability to d/c when we want! In the QTEK ROM 3.19 the GPRS always on would allow you to stay connected even when the device goes into stand by and also be able to d/c when u want. Also when sending and receiving email the device will connect and d/c as need it.

BUT

this isnt the case in WM2003 where u cant find a d/c button anywhere and that i consider wrong! Also taking into consideration that some countires GPRS is still expensive.

i hope you got my point on this matter - i can assure you its a bug and when talking to someone in the Mobile Division in Microsoft he assured me in an unofficial way that it is a bug...

:wink:

[General Questions and Answers] aghoshx:
Hello,

I have a two part question.

I recently got a Chinese tab, it has "Hapad X3" written at its back. I have attached a list of specifications that came along with it. This is a really good tab and it worked great while it lasted. Then the ROM got corrupted and it won't boot again, so I searched online but couldn't find any ROMs that matched this device. I also know now that the device has AllWiinner A10 chipset.

One that matched the best was one called JetROM (Hapad X10 V3 4.0.4) , while it installed fine and booted, the WiFi/Camera, etc. won't work. I tried a few other ROMs and either touch or display wouldn't work.

1. Ideally I'd like to get the stock ROM for this device or one that works.

2. IF I am not able to get my own ROM, I'd like to make one for this device. Question is how do I go about it, I have already read the threads on making your own ROM, my specific question is, if you can take wifi drivers from one ROM and put it in another and make a new one - a little mix and match, is this possible ?

Thank you,

Aghosh Babu

So, ever since switching up to CM 10.1 for jelly bean 4.2, twitch streams have a REALLY hard time loading on WiFi, only load at 226p, will stop after a few minutes, and sometimes never loads at all but thinks it does.

Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know a fix? I've tried wiping dalvik and cache, also tried reflashing the same version, and the newest version. Nothing seems to help. :(

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. This site has been very helpful with instructions and troubleshooting for upgrading to 4.2. but I ran into an issue.

I searched and didn't see an answer to this:

I began flashing 4.2 using the clockworkmod recovery, and it started just fine. However, when it got to the "writing cdma radio" step, it seems to have froze. It's been over 30 minutes on just this one step. Is this normal? How long should it take? What should I do?

Thanks!

[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] DarkKrypt:
Re: [SMALLAPPs] LMGTFY v1.01 & Media Controls v1.02 (17-03-2013)

Well the app can be called discount calculator.

If you want change the app title (when it's on screen) to discount calc so it fits when your using it

For the first Box instead of -amount- you can use 'cost' 'net' or 'sum'

For the second Box with the % symbol at the end (put the % at the end of the small app too if you want)

Instead of -discount- you can use

'cut' or 'deduct'

For the last box instead of -result- you can use 'close' or 'end'

And if you can implement the $ sign where the green amount pops up.

Also instead of green color change the end result to white or the Google 'holo blue'

I dunno upto you lol

One more idea maybe a 'copy to clipboard' button next to the calculate button call it 'ctc' maybe

These are just my ideas your the dev lol

Thanks alot again.

When you adjust them you hear the default 'chime' -donk-

You do not hear the ringtone or alarm tone you have selected ,just the -donk-

I'm happy with it :thumbup:

If you could add a button under brightness (or use the icon) to switch auto-brightness and slightly reduce the row space that could be more than perfect :good:

PS: The brightness icon seems a little smaller than other icons, and it's gray but others are white.

EDIT: Oh it seems have a new bug, brightness slider will break the system auto-brightness on setting and make it to off.
[Xperia Z Themes and Apps] soumya_digi:
SliderControls Small App updated!!! Check OP.. :fingers-crossed:

Decompiled an app from play store, it doesn't have <uses-library> in it's manifest, and is working in my phone. Also the small app process defined in the manifest is different than what is given in small apps documentation. So I'm trying to figure out some stuffs before I send it to you for testing.

Now you can switch between auto and manual by touching the brightness icon. And sliding will set the mode to manual to ensure brightness integer is written properly in settings.

Will change the drawable of brightness icon later.
