[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] USMC retired:
Does anyone know for sure if the phones use only the towers for sending text messages? Can wifi be used for sending text messages?

A friend is having issues sending text messages from his apartment, but if he goes to the middle of the parking lot, no problem.

He has one of those signal boosters from Sprint, is this the cause of the problem??

Can anyone clear this up?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xlxcrossing:
Your phone is constantly sending and receiving information. It is talking to its cell phone tower over a pathway called a control channel. The control channel also provides the pathway for SMS messages. When a friend sends you an SMS message, the message flows through the SMSC, then to the tower, and the tower sends the message to your phone as a little packet of data on the control channel. In the same way, when you send a message, your phone sends it to the tower on the control channel and it goes from the tower to the SMSC and from there to its destination.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adcurtin:
Hey guys,

I have a Verizon galaxy s 3. I was running CM10.1 M2 for a while, and now I'm running CM10.1 M3. This issue started in M2, but has continued in M3 even after a clean flash.

I have tried pulling the battery, toggling airplane mode, and checking in radio settings to make sure it's set to connect to 4G, but none of that has worked.

I also had an back when 4G still worked where it wouldn't connect to data at all, because it was stuck in GSM mode. I had to *#*#4636#*#* to fix that. It showed up on the play store as a Vodafone GS3 instead of a verizon. Right now the carrier shows up as - in the play store.

3G still works fine, but I have a feeling my battery is getting destroyed by my phone trying to connect to 4G while I'm not on wifi.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit:

I have backed up my IMEI data with the built in backup, but the synergy rom method fails when I try it. My IMEI is not blank, however.

I was wondering what is the best DPI for my Galaxy Note 2, I tried other people's suggestions but it didn't work for me so I was wondering how Google decided on their DPI. Considering they're in charge of Android they must know the optimal level so I used the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 4 as reference:

View attachment 1899143

So if Google designed a 5.5 inch screen device with 720x1280 resolution, it would most likely be at 270 DPI

I know this won't help a lot of you how it helped me but just thought I'd share it just on the hunch that it might at least help the 1% :silly:

Obvious you didn't check Wikipedia yourself, not that's academically reliable in any way but DPI is a unit of measurement for printer resolution not for display resolution. It's like saying a football field is 100 litres long er something.

So take your own advice and refrain from further posting. We will appreciate it very much.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joyo22:
Ok. I gave you the chance to research, but well... DPI is the pixel density of your screen that can be soft-modded to make your display "look" different. There are many apps that can actually change your DPI. Note 2's DPI is 320 by default. 240 DPI is the best one IMO for this type of screen size.

With all due respect, there are thousands of forums in XDA where this topic is being discussed.

Hmm, I did it through the physical screen and I got 267.02 PPI, so we're still dangerously close to the same number mines just rounded lol, thanks a lot for the input though I really appreciate it :highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohail6:
With any DPI change the phone app loses proportions but with 270 it's easily passable only thing that changes is the dial pad is smaller and more to the left, but yeah nothing "all messed up" :fingers-crossed:

I suggest you try it though, give it some time and it feels premium :cool:

Edit: Oh and if it bothers you leave the phone app how it is, I use the Xposed Framework method so I get to pick what I want changed, very useful look it up :P
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nintendolinky:
How about any other apps that have problems, I have heard there is a problem with the camera app, with a dpi change and the play store.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquaticbliss:
Change the system ui with the xposed app settings. Then you won't have to worry about apps messing up. You can choose which apps you want to change.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nintendolinky:
So if we change the systemui to have the dpi of 270, what resolution shall we change it too, (default).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abauer:
240 dpi, Nova launcher and icons set at 120 % on Nova settings, Look and feel, icons size .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aquaticbliss:
You don't have to change the resolution if you don't want to. I think that gives you tablet ui. Not sure though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nintendolinky:
Looks good thanks, I changed the resolution on the Gmail app too, 1280x800 and got the tablet ui, it looks great.

Nova seems to have a small gap between the top of the screen and the notification bar, that's with the systemui's dpi changed to 270 and Nova changed to 270, is this normal.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohail6:
I haven't touched any of the Samsung apps besides, S Voice, My Files, and Messaging, never needed to really. And about the Play Store I heard changing its DPI causes problems sometimes so I can live without changing its DPI.

If you follow just what I did you'll be fine, change every app's DPI individually see how you like it and if not revert or experiment. Have it how you want to have it, not how "it should be", the beauty of Android :)

Edit: I changed the DPI of the Play Store to 270 and everything works flawlessly 270 seems to be the magic number cause design wise, it's not small enough to get into the small tablet category but its big enough to stay in the phone category. :P

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohammadAG:
If you're using Xposed to set the DPI, you can fix the gap by setting "android" to the same DPI as systemui.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohail6:
Never tried 240. Maybe it's the specific multi DPI dialer file you have? But by all means you're free to try 270. Every single thing works perfect, just the dialer is a bit to the left.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gub:
"Best" DPI is obviously 320 (i.e. stock). Not only it is what the guys at Samsung have chosen and they probably have more insight about this question than most of us do. But they also designed all stock apps with it, using something else is not supported and may cause problems.

Now, what is best for *you* is another question and I suggest trying for yourself : big DPI = less stuff, larger / small DPI = more stuff, smaller. 265 DPI is the native screen resolution so I suppose it is a good start.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haplok:
If you want your screen to look ugly as sin, then sure. My eyes start to bleed as I look at the stock Samsung huge, colorfull and cartoonish icons.

It also pains me to waste so much of precius screen estate for menus, frames and huge fonts. It's particularly apparent in Multiwindow mode or the e-mail app in horizontal mode, where you hardly see any content other then the menus.

It's like Samsung designed this phone for people with impaired eyesight or the elderly.

Easier than you would with 5 screens full of humongous sized apps. It's also alphabetical with vertical scrolling so it's quite easy. I have good eyes and will continue to stimulate them by consistently using small font. The best part of it is that it doesn't give me eye strain whatsoever.

I also use Big Font and shrink all of my text down to 70% of the original size.

I use 240 because its play store compatible and then individually adjust back to 320 the apps that don't like 240 or some apps even higher (220 gmail 200 parcels)

[General Topics] v1-king:
Hi!

I don't own a PDA and I'm interested in the XDA-II/Qtek2020.

But I need some answer for how it performs in practice...

Of course, you can answer to individual questions only:

A* is it possible to navigate through softwares while you are in a phone call (i.e: look into the scheduler, check for a phone number or explore a map on a navigation software). Of course it should be easier with a headset.

B* Can I use a non-bluetooth headset (hearphones+microphone)? proprietary connector or easily available?

C* Can I listen to MP3 through the headset instead of the speaker ?

D* did someone already test it with a non-bluetooth GPS device? I'd like to use it with my Garmin eTrex (self-powered) or highly available Royaltek Sapphire. Would I have a luck with this kind of devices?

E* is the "craddle"-proprietary connector compatible with another more famous one? (ie: easy to find in Belgium)... (for car kits, battery chargers, ...)

F* with an english ROM, is the virtual keyboard available with other layouts than QWERTY? (in my case, french or belgian AZERTY).

G* can this PDA/GSM be used by a PC as a GSM modem? (via bluetooth, cable, or whatever)

H* is the CompactFlash optional adapter available somewhere? price range?

Many thanks!
[General Topics] darkcell:
A. some yes, some no

B. yes

C. yes

D. -

E. yes AFAIK

F. maybe, third party software

G. yes

H. dunno
[General Topics] PerchHog:
F: yes: http://www.sunnysoft.cz/en_clanek.php?clanekid=132

H: it has some connectors when you remove the back part below the battery, i suppose it is ment to be used with an adaptor (i doubt it will be available though)

get it, it's great!
[General Topics] v1-king:
Thank you already... :D

Meanwhile I found some additional answers, but I'd like some more precision:

A-

PDA use while online on the phone:

does it depend on CPU usage? Say a friend asks me if i'm free on thursday evening: can I check if I'm free on the software agenda without hanging up? can i search a phone number while i'm already online?

B-C :

reformulation of the questions

: the provided headset is a stereo headset + microphone, usable for the phone part as well as the PDA part. So I don't need to carry one headset for phone *and* stereo hearphones for mp3. Am I correct?

D: GPS question unanswered. The Etrex or Royaltek Sapphire have RS232 output. (but USB converter can be used).

E: i may not have been clear: on any shop you find, car charger for Nokia phones, or HP PDA. So, is the proprietary connector of the XDA-2 compatible with a widely spread connector or must I order it on an online shop at an unfriendly price ?

F: it seems "yes". I've seen a 30$ software to get international keyboards: http://pocket-pc-software.penreader.com/InterKey.html

G: good news. Is the XDA-II "as PC modem" possible by USB? Bluetooth? IrDA? both?

H: i've finally seen CF adapter as "backpack for XDA-II" . It seems very expensive £130 :(
[General Topics] LostInSpace:
A: no problem to use other SW during a call, except the ones using the speaker

B: the provided headset is for call & MP3

D: I use the Wired Tomtom GPS without problem (a realtek actually)

E: for cables look at PDAShop.be

H: there's an CF adapter available but don't no if you can get it in belgium.

For the azerty keyboard, the XDAII provided by Proximus has one. You can choose between Qwerty & azerty.

Regards

Ferdinand
[General Topics] v1-king:
Thank you Ferdinand!

Glad to read the "proximus" news :) ... I just hope they will provide ROM updates as often as others (if needed :P )

Other things about "A" (PDA usage while online on the phone):

- What happens if I receive a phone call while, for example, editing a pocketExcel sheet? Will this sheet be lost or will I just have to switch task to go back on it? (maybe obvious answer, but what happens in practice ?)

- Are there moments when the phone is not available? (while syncing with pc? while on high CPU usage?)

For my Garmin GPS, I just had a not-so-straight idea: I have a IrDA serial dongle somewhere (!)... if this dongle doesn't need powersupply, I may use it instead of buying a proprietary cable... plus I don't have to reconfigure IrDA on XDA-II :)

Again, thank you :)
