[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] phil1982:
I'm in the UK, and using a Touch Diamond.....on Vodafone 3G. When I'm connected to WIFI, I obviously want to use that for data, rather than use up my precious data allowance.

When I'm connected to a WIFI connection, how do I know Opera/IE/Email are using WIFI - and not my 3G connection? There are times when I'm in my house, and I know it's using my phone data connection, as it's just so slow (very limited reception 3G in my house)....whereas the WIFI should be pretty fast.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] luigi_sa:
i COULD be wrong here.... but the way i know is if the WIFI icon at the top shows connected. If you rphone cant find the WIFI, it'll always divert to a data connection. Play with your phone around the house, see where you get connectivity and how strong to your wifi.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] phil1982:
Yes I know when I'm connected to WIFI and how strong it is....what I want to know is how I know whether my phone is using 3G/GPRS - when I am connected to WIFI and want it to use WIFI and not my phone network. There seems to be no indication to show you are actually 'using' the WIFI network over the phone network....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] yetep:
Settings > Communication Settings.

Turn data connection off, turn wifi on.

Do that before you use internet and your sorted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Minus-1:
On both my Diamond and Touch Pro, the Wi-Fi icon appears on the task bar when Wi-Fi is available. Same goes for 3G.

Also note that some programs call for a certain connection method automatically. For example, you will note that some programs initiate 3G instead of using your Wi-Fi connection. Hopefully, there is a configuration option for such apps.

Cheers.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bigbro168:
i don't know if you notice it, but if you are connecting through E or H or G or 3G.. the reception bar instead of the antenna you will get the corresponding letter if you are currently connected to one of them

As long as your WiFi is on and none of those letters are showing up.. you will be fine
[XPERIA X1 General] tai927:
Planning to get the X1 soon but just wondering is there any music player for the X1 that would pause music when the headphones are unplugged? + also have sleep timer? Recommend some music aps please!

Thanks.
[XPERIA X1 General] mmaaxxii:
I would also like something that stops the music when the headset is unplugged.

Kinda embarrasing to sit in class and, by accident, unplugging the headset and spreading the tunes in the classroom.
[XPERIA X1 General] Cokey:
http://s2p.ac-s2.com/

This one turns the musicplayer on when headset is inserted.. Also the other way around. A very nice player.. And freeware...
[XPERIA X1 General] mmaaxxii:
s2p looks like a nice alternative, however I prefer the multimedia panel.

It shouldn't be so hard to make a script or something for it? :D

My thought is that you have a program, script or whatever that detects if the headphones are unplugged and then mutes the phone. Should also work with A2DP bluetooth headset. :p

It would be a big plus on xperia, since media is its weak spot right now. Imho.
[General Questions and Answers] elpope:
My friend recently gave me his Pantech Duo after I broke my Tilt. I unlocked it and it works fine, although I am really missing my Tilt. The thing that is most aggravating is the absence of threaded sms. Does anyone know how I can get this? I know I can update to 6.1, but in the user agreement it said after I upgraded, my phone would only be usable with an AT&T contract. I didn't know if this was true or not, but I didn't want to run the risk (I have tmobile). I'd be fine with WM6 if I could just get threaded sms, but apparently you can't run cab files like you could on the tilt. Any help you guys could give me would be GREATLY appreciated.

Have you gone to the Juno forums (aka Shadow)?

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=424

There might be an answer there. Alternatively, you could try calling T-Mobile and ask them to unlock it for you. For the most part, they do it for free (if you are a subscriber). Just tell them that you are traveling overseas and need it to connect to local providers (or use a prepaid sim or something like that).

Hope this helps...

[G1 Android Development] tyrnight:
I have the ADP1 and I know one of the big differences between ADP1/RC30 is space made available for Apps.

and I wanted to know how to make more room like the RC30 has for apps. Is there a debugging program that can be removed and logging that may need to be turned off and logs removed? that type of thing.

Anyone know?

thx
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
This is more directed at JesusFreke than you, but it is somewhat related:

The /cache partition on the G1 is around 60MB. It's only used by Android to do OTA upgrades AFAIK. Since rooted G1s don't get OTA upgrades, couldn't we decrease the cache size and increase /system and /data?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
ADP1 Androids don't run the update service and should be able to live with a smaller cache. IIRC, Mod RC30 Androids still run the update service and will get the updates (as they are reporting the spoofed fingerprint to the update servers).
[G1 Android Development] hbguy:
wait, i'm confused.

are you saying normal rc30 has more space than adp1? i heard that the dev phone has 1200mb of internal memory compared to the 65mb or so stuff on the regular stock g1. am i mistaken?

hbguy
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Pretty sure the service is shut down (or blocked) in JF's version but... we shall see what all he says.
[G1 Android Development] momentarylapseofreason:
Very much so... both phones are identical in hardware minus the back cover. It's a software deal only.
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
No. The ADP1 has no T-Mobile logo and a shiny keyboard. :(
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
The Dev Phone 1 has the same hardware configuration as the G1. The difference is in the way the memory is used. Check out my post here.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
It is also used when flashing the bootloader and radio.

Besides, I believe the partition table is stored in the bootloader. I'm not brave enough to try and change it :)
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
BTW, I did look into creating .odex files for the ADP1 version in RC1.31, to free up the space the dex files are taking in /data. I tried a number of different things, but I was never able to get it to work. It would always complain about stale dependencies in the odex's.
[G1 Android Development] Koush:
It shouldn't matter if you hose the bootloader. I am pretty sure the RC29 image can bail you out of anything. Unless you fry the SPL, you can't really brick the phone.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
The bootloader *is* the SPL.
[G1 Android Development] arqueware:
is there a way to use the mtd0, mtd4, or mtd6 partitions?

With all the "unused space" I was thinking to mount one of these at boot and copy /data/data and cache there. DO we know enough about the use of these partitions at IPL, SPL, boot, and runtime to make a go at this?

partition layout of G1 RC30

dev: size(hex) erasesize name size(bytes)

mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "misc" 262144

[G1 Android Development] eleazar6:
Coming from a windows background, linux partitions that are only used for specific things don't make much sense on a storage limited device like the G1. 256mb of storage to work with, 90mb used by the OS and apps I downloaded, and I only have 54mb left, not the 160 that really exists....

BTW, what's 48mb /dev used for?
[G1 Android Development] arqueware:
Perhaps this is obvious to some, but on a linux box, the point of separate partitions is to firewall various sections of the system from each other, particularly the more volatile parts of the system (e.g. /var). In case of a over-full filesystem condition, a /var directory residing on the root partition could lock the system. If /var is on its own partition, liability to such a condition is limited. Likewise for /home if one system user were to do something to hog the filesystem.

In Windows, i typically make separate partitions for System and Apps/Data in case i ever need to re-install the OS; this is a common approach.
[Touch HD General] Candy-men:
Hi Folks,

a Friend of mine just got his Touch HD. It´s sold by O2 Germany. When he goes to the Programs-Tab hes not able to replace some Programs like Opera, YouTube etc. They are signed with an little Lock Symbol. My Touch HD was original from HTC and on my Device i could replace any Programs.

Here´s my Question: How to replace the Programs in the Programs-Tab at an O2 Branding? Is there a registry Key to change this?
[Touch HD General] pdaccess:
Each icon (24 Total, named 0 to 23) can be locked / Unlocked.

Seems O2 locked all of them ...

you can unlock anyone by changing isReadOnly to 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0 to 23\IsReadOnly=0

Hope this help ;-)
[Touch HD General] zolom:
I want to connect to the Internet via a Bluettoth Access Point (Billionton) providing PAN and LAP, or via my Laptop's Bluetooth Network adapter using Internet Connect Sharing.

On the HD, I cannot find the BT NULL Modem option in the Modems list (all I have there are: Bluetooth along with 2 Cellular options and Hayas modem).

Is there a way to have that option?

On my previous PDA, I had installed the Widcomm stack, there I had that option.

Pleae assist

[Touch HD General] zolom:
anyone familiarr with that?
[Touch HD General] zolom:
Please, Anyone?

As posted above, Can anyone connect to the WEB via a PC using the Bluetooth Network Adapter (with internet connect sharing) ,using the PAN or LAP BT profiles, not just Activesync.

It seems that a BT Null Modem is required to be present on the HTC HD, but I cannot configure that with the current BT stack.

Please assist

Thanks
[Touch HD General] sasovics:
Yes, it's possible.

Do the following:

1. Enable BT on your device. (make sure it's in visible mode as well)

2. On your PC turn on your internal BT or insert USB BT module.

NOTE: If you are using XP SP2/SP3 I suggest not to use Window's built-in BT stack, as your PC will fail to install BT modem drivers after pairing. Use Widcomm drivers instead. They worked for me ;) In case you're using Vista, there's no need for 3rd party driver installation, as the Vista built-in BT stack will recognize and install BT modem drivers just fine.

3. On your PC, initiate BT device pairing (once again, make sure your device's BT is visible!). Once pairing is done, and BT passwords are exchanged, your PC should discover the available BT services your device can offer. Select at least BT dial-up networking and BT PAN networking. If you are using Widcomm drivers, it will automatically create shortcuts for you for every selected connection.

That's all for the configuration. If you want to use your device as a BT modem for dial-up networking, just click on the dial-up icon Widcomm wizard created for you and enter *99# as a dialing number. Usually there's no need for username/password configuarion when accessing 3G/EDGE. Should your connection fail, then you must add some "extra modem initialization commands" to your BT modem settings in device manager as follows: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","<APN name>" where APN name stands for 3G/EDGE access point your operator gave you. As an example for ATT USA it would be: +CGDCONT=1,"IP","wap.cingular"

In case you decide to connect to the Internet using BT PAN network, there's an extra step needed:

4. On your device, go to Programs->Internet Sharing. In "PC Connection" drop-down box select "Bluetooth PAN" and for "Network Connection" choose you default access point your operator provided.

5. Again make sure your device BT is ON and is in visible mode (ICS will warn you about this anyway). On your PC launch and establish BT PAN connection by using the shortcut the Widcomm has created for you.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

S.
[Touch HD General] zolom:
Thanks for the quick response. Still, I may miss something.

As I had mentioned I want to access the internet from my HD via a PC (thus avoiding the cost for GPRS/HSDPA).

1. When you refer to the PAN on the PC side are you refering to the 'Network Access Point'? (I have the Broadcom stack on my PC)

2. When I click on the Network Access icon (on my PC), its starts to connect but immediately it comes up with an error message sayig 'could not connect to remote device'

3. Does the Internet Connect Sharing (ICS) on the HD, facilitate the HD to access the internet via the PC?

4. I used the following configuration for the ICS on the HD:

PC Connection: Bluetooth PAN

Network Connection: <my mobile provider> Internet

5. Do I have to configure something on the BT PAN Network Adapter on my HD (setting>wifi>wireless networks>network adapters)

5. As I understand from your response, when activating the ICS, for this type of connection, the BT PAN actually take over the traffic detined to be carried out via the HSDPA Internet, is it correct?

Thanks again

This is assuming you've already installed .Net 3.5. Install .Net Configuration to internal memory (cab below). This allows you to change the CF version used for applications on your device.

Run '.Net Configuration' from your Start Menu.

Go to the 'Device Policy' tab and select version 3.5.

Selecting 'Apply' then 'OK'

[Shift General] matthew.karas:
pocketxpdf - free PDF reader for windows mobile

It's a CAB file rather than Shiftpack, but is a very easy install, and is small enough to mail it to yourself or download on GPRS. It has some nice features - rotation and fullscreen, so you can turn your Shift into an eBook reader just slide out the keyboard enough to expose the arrow keys to turn the page.

http://pocketxpdf.sourceforge.net/

There are probably more fully featured ones out there but I have been using this for months with no problems.

Thanks Matthew. I love the size of that programme! I downloaded and installed the pdf reader. It works alright but I guess I will need to play with it for a little longer to optimize the performance.

other goodies

I think that the only one I really love which a few other people have mentioned is QuickMenu. It's free and replaces the start menu with a more configurable version that gives you the ability to kill running apps, rotate the screen and configure short-cut keys.

You can get it from various sites:

If you have any warranty - Take it in to be fixed. Otherwise you are going to have to buy a new screen youself and possibly digitizer as it may also be broken and replace these parts yourself.

i don´t know if i get warranty, because its not the original rom on it. replacing the display looks pretty easy.
[Touch GSM General] hotrod101:
There is no way for me or anyone else to know whether there is any other hardware damaged just by looking at a picture of what looks like a broken LCD. The only way you will know is by changing the LCD to find out. You may find that the Digitizer is broken as well - So you might want to make sure you get one of these as well - I don't think that they are very expensive (from what I have read) You can even look into buying a bricked device off someone for cheap to use as spare parts in case anything else breaks.

Yeah the guide I provided a link for is pretty clear and makes it look pretty easy doesn't it. Thanks to that guide I would not be too afraid to take my device appart to make repairs / replace parts myself if I ever need to.
