"To do, or not to do" That´s the question!

I´m using skyfire to see flashstreams. For all the other, i use opera mini!

Opera mini is very fast and this handling is easy.

In skyfire you must zooming the links, ...

Always and always the same procedures.

This is exhausting!

After installing the newest version or a server update by skyfire i have a new problem. in 1 minute reconnected my browser 32x. i have since 6 Month an account. everytime i don't have problems. if i use an older version, the the same problems.

are you have the same problems?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Zacch88:
Thats the newest skyfire 8184

Skyfire troubles!

NO sound....

Anybody?????? :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] arty:
ya, i have no sound either.

worked few days ago tho
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
no issues with sound and skyfire, just listened to a song on youtube
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Stinky9:
Works great using WiFi, even in the Netherlands. Still a bit slow when loading the webpages. But finally a good mobile browser!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
YEP I think it is the issue

ON skyfire forums .com jeje Lol i post this issue and they told me... HEY the sound problem under USB conn is a known issue WIFI too... maybe over the GPRS or 3G works well... I dunno.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
U r right, no issue with wifi nor 3G but with AS yes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] + Que PPC:
yep! they say drivers error

They think that the RNDIS driver doesnt allows this kind of data tranfer... but how does the make it couple of months ago?

lol I think they won't reveal their secret :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bustard:
no sound too here, and last version takes forever to connect. I noticed I lost the sound when I had the phone in vibration mode, now sound's off in every mode inside skyfire.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Zacch88:
You have to turn the sound on and turn the back light timeout off before you connect to skyfire or it will F^$K with everything and the picture and sound will not work right
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zocster:
new one out today, get.skyfire.com :) seems to have fixed AS sound issue :)

Anyone has any idea?

***found the solution- need to enable network access
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] fil3s:
Yeah the custom roms won't be as reliable with google apps as stock.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sronweb:
It's question of control. Some parameters, on apps are not enabled by default. but in general we have no problems to use google apps.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It's also about choice. People use custom ROMs because they have features the stock ROM generally doesn't have. I personally use the stock ROM myself, but that's my choice.

[Google Pixel 4 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Johnrob011045:
The tethering is blocked by Google. You have to bring it out of Google and put it back in wi-fi provisioning where it was in Android 11 and add a few lines of code so it doesn't check the provision. Then the hotspot doesn't know if you're paying for it on your plan.

[General Questions and Answers] joncgde2:
Hi

Sorry for what I hope is not a silly question, but is it possible to extract the resources from the mtoday cab and recompile it with different icons? mtoday currently comes as a cab file, but after googling I couldn't find much info on windows mobile cabs (only desktop windows cabs)

The icons on changing today screens are a bit naff, so I'd like to customise this.

If this is possible, please let me know.

Cheers

Jon
[Samsung Galaxy A23] akudaijin:
Just recently realized an issue with in-app stories, certain ones that are playing a video instead of just text aren't actually playing one, it's just stuck, the bar doesn't move. I've noticed this with Zenly app when I launched it today, since it is shutdown, they have a two-slide "stories" showing and the first one doesn't play, the second one does. It also happens with some of the other apps if they have a video playing in those stories, for example in my country there's one for a food chain and a mobile telecommunication app (Tele2). Tested them on other phones and had no issues. Internet connection is stable so it looks like either a firmware issue or maybe certain apps just aren't optimized for Android 13 that well? Can anyone test for example if the first slide on Zenly app plays or if it's just an issue on my end.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] kane274:
My mum bought a Flip 4 and she loves it, but is not getting notifications when it is folded. I have tried all settings including individual notifications, ensuring it's not on DND, ensuring notifications can wake up the phone. It is also one of those intermittent problems, in that it doesn't work most of the time but occasionally will work, like when someone rings her doorbell (Ring app). I've even tried changing some of the apps like changing from the Samsung SMS app to Textra.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Our next step is to factory reset, but I want to check if this is a known issue.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] badai:
Not normal. It should show notification, and you can even see it when you swipe right in the cover screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] kane274:
The notifications show on the screen but no notification sound. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] kat3k:
Agreed. Not normal. I had a case (Samsung even) that was turning my sound off. If she's using a case, you might try without it. It's a longshot, but took me a while to figure it out on mine. When properly functioning sounds should work open or closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4] badai:
by default there should be sound, unless you set that particular notification sound as silent, or the audio file is missing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sooby77:
Hi all,

There's no doubt that the Touch Pro/Fuze GPS is lagging. I was comparing it with my imate 8502 today and doing a side by side test, the Fuze is consistently at least 1 second behind. This is confirmed not only by looking at the map, but also at the GPS coordinate. The imate 8502 is quite accurate.

The question is, imate uses the same qualcomm chipset as the fuze. Is it possible to extract the imate driver to try in Fuze? I'm willing to do it if I can get some directions on how to proceed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] v6ttgnx:
bro, your complaining about 1 second....... 1 second.... i think that's the least of your worries
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sooby77:
Umm.. when you are driving at 75mph, 1 second is some distance. Furthermore, the GPS lock is unreliable, sometimes it would lock in and sometimes it just wouldn't. It's inconsistent.

Don't you want your Touch Pro GPS to work flawlessly?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
Please post a link to an official RUU upgrader for the imate containing the drivers you are referring to. I will port them and see if they are compatible and affect our issue.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sooby77:
I'm uploading it to RS right now. Imate also requires a special 'update code' that's printed on the box to upgrade their rom. I'll PM you the code when I have the upload link available. Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tinuz97:
do you make a turn with 75mph? :eek::o
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] HHumbert:
Good question, heh. But seriously, a second difference when you're using GPS navigation is a long time, especially on congested streets of a large city.

I'm all in favor of something that reduces the lag, reduces the fix time, and increases accuracy.

What am I going to have to do? Carry my old BT GPS with me, as well as my Fuze? That sucks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] zatzkin:
I don't even think "nessesity" is the issue here. All of us just spent at least 300 dollars on this thing.... We want it to work perfectly! I've been waiting for the do it all gps/wifi/bluetooth/wm/speakerphone/washthedishes phone for quite a while - and I expect ALOT out of it. GPS is one of my main concerns; and I've been searching these forums for a week now trying to improve it... so yes, 1 second is enough to worry about. In fact - I can't get any fix - and that's even more to worry about. If you guys are sucessful please pm me to let me know the files up.

Thanks,

BZ.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
I have examined the imate 8502 drivers, unfortunatly they use an entirely different method of communicating with the GPS hardware than the HTC drivers, in such a way that a large amount of drivers would need to replaced (as driver xxx is dependant on driver yyy, and so forth)

So far I have not had success booting up with the imate drivers loaded. But am continuing to work on it :)

Main problem is differing OS driver design. On Raphael, rilphone.dll provides interface to Radio ROM, gps driver sits on top of RIL and provides communication between RIL and HTC GPS Intermediate Driver. On imate, TaiServer.dll provides RIL, gps daemon provides communication between taiserver and stock microsoft GPSID.

So, not sure how lucky we are going to be porting those drivers, as much of HTC's software is based on communication with rilphone.dll, and those apps will all break.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rcll:
Da_G, I want to thank you for releasing such crucial drivers. Lots of ROM chefs have used your great driver extracts and you should get a credit on all their ROMs. Great job you are doing.

I was wondering, could you give your take on the Raphael video drivers? What is the main problem with them and what's keeping us from using Raphael's video hardware to its full potential?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Da_G:
No sweat, I don't do it for credit, I do it to get better use out of the device I paid good money for :) And learning. Knowledge is power! Spread the wealth! So forth and so on!

Anyway, moving along.. :)

I have tested raph driver 1.43 (xperia), 1.90, 1.95, and blackstone 2008.6.25

Performance goes as such from best to worse: 1.95, 1.90, 1.43, blackstone

There is much potential optmization to be done in regards to the video chipset, but the simple fact of the matter appears to be that the optmization was not done. For example, with the 3d drivers, some roms include hardware support (d3dm_ati.dll) and some use the microsoft reference drivers (equivilant to software rendering on the PC), some use the HTC reference drivers (again software rendering but optimized for performance)

Problem with video playback and 2d interface functions is that only very basic acceleration is included, advanced acceleration features are simply not coded in to the driver. Unfortunatly on my end there isnt much to be done, either we get our hands on drivers not coded by htc (like the imate drivers) and try and port the entire set (not terribly likely to work), or we get our hands on some HTC coded drivers that include proper acceleration support, and drop them in as replacement for current drivers. Adding in the features ourselves is not practical without source code and chipset documentation.

So for the moment, in regards to video drivers, the best we can do is to keep an eye out for phones with similar chipsets (qc msm7xxxx)

Best performance I have seen out of any combination of the drivers is roughly what pfcsabre shows here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=448268 give or take. That's with the 1.95 driver w/1.43 HTCmdp.dll

Rest assured i'll be dismantling every ROM i can get my hands on with a similar chipset, looking at the graphics drivers :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rcll:
Very interesting Da_G. Yours is the clearest explanation of the video driver problem I have read. I will definitely watch your posts to see what you come up with. Your work at xda is really appreciated :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] sooby77:
I just want to thank Da_G for even trying. You know we all appreciate and continue to support your work! :)

I wanted to add another strange observation of mine regarding the GPS. I use Garmin XT on my Fuze and I notice that the signal bar strength is DIFFERENT if I connect directly to the com port vs going through the Intermediate Driver. The direct com port connection usually yield stronger signal (as displayed by longer bars), and also produces random spikes on some of the bars. With the Intermediate Driver, the signal seems low and 'smoothed' out.

Don't know what's going on...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] nkawtg:
I just came back from Hong Kong and I have several GPS problems with my Fuze. They really need to fix this thing!

There have been many occasions where the phone would go into hibernate, then wouldn't come back on when i hit the button. So i would remove the battery, turn it back on and put in my passcode, but it would reset itself to the original factory date. What ,if anything, can i do to fix this problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ashasaur:
Nothing. The time and date is powered by the battery, and if that either dies or is removed, the date and time reset to factory defaults.

You are right ashasaur!!!

The last time I saw a backup battery, was on a HP iPAQ jejejej the backup battery keeps the clock and date... but now.... I think your problem is the resets and no wakes up! so.... this must be a battery problem maybe is almost dead... try to buy a new one...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hydafl:
well this has happened twice today, I've seen on the net in other places that a rom update may also help this concern. Any ideas where I might start? Also when I checked the battery after the last time it read 82 % so I figured I was good, I took some contact cleaner and cleaned the battery contact points and the battery itself. I'll see later..

Thanks for the quick responses, I had thought there may have been a small watch type battery inside so thanks for clearing up that idea as well.

As an addendum to this the phone is now stuck on the cingular opening and it wont do anything unless I pull the battery and start allover, even when the wall charger is attached with the battery I can only get the charge indicator once. This stinks....
