Does anyone else have the problem when exiting iGO8 giving:

"Fatal error occured in the Main Thread"

Address: 0x000dd268

Exception: 0x0000005

If you make any changes and then exit, it looses all the settings, like keeping backlight on always.

Why does this happen, and how can it corrected?

iGO version: 8.3.1.57021

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Wam7:
I have tried IGO 8.3.2.64873 and that works and exits fine. What ROM are you using it on?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] drbrains:
I have a older version: 8.0.0.35389 but that works without any problem.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] don_theo:
The answer might be the following

- DO NOT enable menu animation as that will cause the software to crash while exiting the application!!! This is a bug introduced by NNG in these new 8.3.1 series and is present even on original PNA devices!

I Hope it works for you.

Has anyone else had problems using the extended batteries, I bought a 3600mAh one to replace the standard 1300mAh one but the battery doesn't last any longer whatsoever!
[S740, S743 General] ktmduke2:
Hi there,

Just picked up my S740 and i'm trying to get it working with my Three sim card. The phone and the internet work oK, but i can't seem to get MSN working. I just get a cannot connect message.

In fact, i've even connected to my wifi network and messenger still does not want to work. There must be something simple i am missing!

As an alternative, is there another messaging programme i can use instead of messenger which can access hotmail accounts?

I hope someone can help.
[S740, S743 General] ktmduke2:
OK, there is something more significant that i'm missing or fundamentally wrong with this device. I've downloaded palringo and i can't connect to either msn or yahoo messenger.

Any clues?
[S740, S743 General] rhedgehog:
you've not been silly enough to program a proxy into the connection settings have you?
[S740, S743 General] ktmduke2:
At this stage, I'm willing to accept any suggestion, no matter how ludicrous.

But there is no proxy. Besides, i browsed to the parlingo site on the phone, downloaded it on the phone, but when i run it can't connect. Surely the proxy would have prevented internet connectivity on the whole?

Unless there is a specific proxy setting in messenger that i can't see.

I love the phone, but at this rate it's going to go straight back.
[S740, S743 General] ktmduke2:
OK, i've worked out the problem.

There's nothing wrong with the phone. The problem is with the f*@#ed up 3 Mobile SIM which totally locks up the device and does not allow you to do anything. I suspected something was up when i couldnt install the newer Live file due to insufficient rights.

So for anyone searching for a similar issue, you cannot use this device with a Three mobile SIM. Unless someone knows how to unlock it?
[S740, S743 General] rhedgehog:
it's cos three block a **** load of stuff. I suspect that if you have the internet addon, it may allow it.

have a check with some of the guys in the Diamond and Raphael forums, cos there's a few there that have three SIMS and had similar problems with messenger.

It's all down to three blocking everything apart from texts and calls and charging you for everything else. They have a special version of MSN messenger that either uses alternate ports, or is allowed through their packet sniffer. I'm not entirely sure how they block stuff, but i know they do.

2G vs. 3G

2G Advantage

:

• way better battery life

3G Advantage

:

• faster data connection

This is a subjective question> Is it worth it at the expense of increased battery consumption?

I have an HTC Diamond with a small 900 mAh battery. So for me, I mostly put mine into 2G and switch to 3G when I use my data connection.

Question: is 2G = 3G when it comes to voice quality? (I can't tell the difference)

...and are there any other 3G advantages that I have missed?
[General Topics] Black93300ZX:
Technically 3G is used for voice as well, but whether you're on GPRS/EDGE/3G I don't think there's a noticeable difference. As for if 3G is worth it? Without question. I'm a huuuuge fan of Android, and I'm dying to get a phone that works with AT&T 3G... Obviously I was greatly disappointed when the Agora Pro was delayed. The G1 seems like the perfect phone for me in every way (except maybe build quality), GPS, WiFi, capacitive screen... But I refuse to buy any phone that doesn't give me 3G, EDGE is painful when you're used to HSPA.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
"• can make/receive a call/txt while connected to the Internet (never miss a call)"

thats not a 3g thing thats a cell-phone operator equipment thing

i never lost a call because of grps

thats the real reason that grps was invented to replace

old cell-phone data traffic where you had to call the isp to get

Internet
[General Topics] nir36:
I don't think it's the right question to ask.

besides the fact that it's individual, 3G and 2G are completely different.

2G provides the regular services which you don't need anything more for.

3G provides services which 2G does not and you will use only if you need them.

so the question is "what do you need?"

I have a polaris on 2G ALL the time... unless I want to connect to the internet.

(just a for instance)

btw, 3G is WAY "less healthy"

for instance, in israel, 2G broadcasts make your phone cast 0.042mW/kb

3G makes it cast 0.43mW/kb. it's like swimming in an ocean of endless EM waves.

that's of course, for an average phone, for full signal
[General Topics] Black93300ZX:
Yeah well, 3G is a data transfer speed. If you're not using data, there's no reason to have 3G.
[General Topics] band27:
Ok, then should the question be.........

E vs. 3G.....regarding call quality & battery consumption

Is there a difference?

or

What radio mode will consume the least amount of battery, Edge or 3G?
[General Topics] galaxys:
Edge consumes a lot less battery than 3G.

Call quality is the same....
[General Topics] band27:
Ok, so I will stick with Edge as my basis and switch when I need to use my data connection.
[General Topics] nir36:
you don't need Edge either for calls. call quality doesn't change from 2G to Edge to 3G to 10G. voice is sampled in 44kHz at best. let's say 22kHz. 22kHz is nothing compared to what 2G can transfer. even if you use Shannon's formula you still get a very high value for 2G data transfer. Edge isn't better than 2G unless you want faster data transfer rate... edge can transfer up to 237kbps per 4 time slots. you need no more than 48kbps.

btw.. just as a general remark. human speech moves between... 20hz to about 3khz. 22khz/48khz is required to transfer music through your phone.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Both 2(.5/.75)G and 3G uses GSM encoding (with a very low sampling frequency); that is, the audio quality is exactly the same with the two.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
This is particularly true when actively transferring data, and (to a much lesser degree) when just using the phone. I've measured huge (~50%) differences on contemporary handsets - see my dedicated articles if interested.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Do you have any links on this? This is quite big a difference and I'd say, at least under "normal" circumstances, the difference shouldn't be that big.

As CDMA is somewhat more battery-friendly than TDMA (it can transfer the same info using less power), the difference is mostly because of the difference between the carrier (850/900 MHz vs. 1700+ MHz; the higher the freuency, the more power you require to traverse the same distance with the same SNR). That is, with a GSM operator operating at much higher frequencies than 900 MHz, there shouldn't be much difference.

(And, of course, a lot of other factors should also be considered: does the operator use the same radio turn to put all their aerials on etc. If, for some reason, you have a far better 3G SNR than GSM SNR, then, your handheld should use much lower transfer power.)
[General Topics] gtrab:
This is a matter of choices

Each one of us will pick a phone (and a band and a carrier) based on our own needs

In my personal usage, I need FAST INTERNET, so I chose 3G (HSDPA)

I also chose the Xperia X1 because it has a BIG battery

Now I have 3G SPEED and 1.5 days battery life with heavy usage
[General Topics] band27:
That's great to hear. Well to conserve power, my choice will be to disable 3G using Communication Manager. When I do this, the 3G icon in the task bar switches to E.

Will switch to 3G only when I need to use the internet.

Perfect ! Thanks for helping me with this everyone ;)
[General Topics] nir36:
first of all, let me correct my mistake. it's not 0.43 for 3G it's 0.23mW/kb. but that's still VERY high.

I'll try to look it up as i got this info from a friend who worked in orange. but this obviously depends on many factors other than your device. the more relays you have spread around your area, the less power your phone needs to retrieve a normal signal. they're not ALL arranged according to the hexagon method... or the Threeway method.

I'm talking about average power. the closer you are to the relay, the less power you need, but your brain is fried from the relay itself so you can't really run away from it.

FORTUNATELY, power dissipates by 1/r^2 so if you're about 60-70cm away from your phone the effect will be extremely minimal.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
"Yeah well, 3G is a data transfer speed. If you're not using data, there's no reason to have 3G."

here we can also use it for video calls directly to another phone number as in not real internet

but nobody use it i think

maybe the problem is that females will spend ½hour freshning up before answering their phones ;) jk
[General Topics] nir36:
video calls are only different by requiring faster data transfer and much higher signal to noise ratio.. which 3G provides. again, it's not a consideratoin whether to use 3G or not. only if you need to use a video call should you switch to 3G
[General Topics] band27:
2G vs 3G......What about (Edge vs 3G)

Wow, some good feedback has been generated here.

Phone use

:

• 3G.......is NOT worth it here unless you are video calling

Data Connection

:

• 3G.......is worth it here (way faster) even though battery consumption increases nicely

Before concluding with the above, would like to clear up what Edge is:

EDGE can be considered a 3G radio technology and is part of ITU's 3G definition,[1] but is most frequently referred to as 2.75G

Based on the definition here, does anyone believe that using Edge is best when using the phone for the sake of decreasing battery consumption? I believe it should be. Any thoughts?
[General Topics] nir36:
Actually, EDGE can't be considered as 3G techwise.. and it doesn't have the same data transfer rate as 3G provided by an HSDPA connection.

this is from wikipedia

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is a 3G (third generation) mobile telephony communications protocol in the High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) family, which allows networks based on Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to have higher data transfer speeds and capacity. Current HSDPA deployments support down-link speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2 and 14.4 Mbit/s. Further speed increases are available with HSPA+, which provides speeds of up to 42 Mbit/s downlink.[1]

EDGE only gets to 430kbps AT BEST. the AT BEST part NEVER comes :)

it's true that EDGE consumes less battery

and it's true that 3G is much faster

but it's also true that this all depends on your needs.

Orange Israel doesn't support EDGE. if they did i would be using it all the time instead of 3G when i need an internet connection.. since i don't need 1.8Mbps..

eventually, i believe there's no debate about what to use.

2G is the best way to go when you do everything but using the internet and video calls.

and then choosing between EDGE and 3G(HSDPA, UMTS.. or whatever you wanna call it) depends on how fast you want your internet connection to be while considering that EDGE consumes MUCH MUCH less battery power.

btw, if you asked me, i woldn't think twice whether you should have a 3G phone or not. having 3G support on your phone nowadays costs nothing more than having a reulgar 2G phone.. so having the option whether to use 3G or not is obviously better than not having it.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
tehcnically, EDGE (which is a plain TDMA technology, as is GSM) in no way can be compared to 3G technologies, which are all CDMA.

Maybe you need to do another dump of the rom.

Hi,

I installed this new ROM onto my unmodified HTC Touch PRO (stock ROM) and it installed OK without any problems.

I was hoping it would solve the T-Mobile no or poor signal problem due to it having a new radio ROM but it has'nt.

One thing I have noticed it my battery life is only 3.5 hours from fully charged. This is with phone on standby (phone service enabled), bluetooth on and wireless off.

Now I am going back to my N95 that gives me full signal and thinking of selling the PRO.

Any updates or tips on what ROM / Radio to use in India?

What ROM / RADIO mix are you finding effective in India (Bangalore)?

I recently purchased one of the Idea Cellular Touch Pros, and I'm experiecning horrible battery life, very poor wifi and a complete inability to get a lock on GPS (BTW - unlocked it and have gone for AirTel).

I did do a hardspl and flashed the latest HTC ROM with radio 1.11.25.01. This did improve things a bit on the battery side. I've since flashed Elite RC3 and ENERGY ROM 2.0 (the 31509 version)...much better responsiveness in TouchFlo but radio and battery problems are still there.

On the stock ROM / RADIO with BT, WIFI and GRPS shut off...no calls and no SMS...the battery drained 20% sitting on my night table. Now, it drains around 2% with every SMS and phone call I send/receive...will sit all night and drain maybe 2~4% instead of 20%.

For wifi, I can sit pretty much within 1 meter of my Linksys Dual N and only get 1mbps transfer rate and it drops every minute or so. With my VOX it would lock on from anywhere in the house and stay locked.

BTW - I have already replaced this once, and the previous handset had the exact same behaviour...so unless it's a batch problem, it wouldn't seem to be a handset problem.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] u8myfoood:
Depend on which provider you are going for, I have the Sprint varient and I love it much more over my old Titan. But since you are taking about the Xperia X1, I would think you want GSM. The Fuze shouldn't be that bad, but make sure IF you decide to go with the X1, go for the US varient from Sony if you reside in the US, I have head about a lot of compatibility issues with the X1. The Fuze on the other hand is not widescreen, but still quite beautiful in its own glossy way and is cheaper. The Sony ericsson too is sexy in a distinct way. It'll all up to personal preference, whether you want a full 5 row qwerty keyboard, or a wide screen with brushed metal as the extra perk when you get the phone. Either way it is a good choice, and there are tons of people on this site who can help you with both phones.

Read some reviews, and youtube videos, or check them out in person. The only one who knows what phone you want is you... Good luck!
