[G1 General] xidominicanoix:
ive always had this as well .. just never considered it a bug lol ... but i could see why someone would wanna keep their 3g while on a call .. reminds me of how sidekicks would lose data connectivity due to a call
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Could you elaborate?

If you've had 3 G1's and a tech says there's nothing wrong with the network then it's clearly an issues with cupcake, be it a feature or a bug...

I don't really see why you would want to keep data conectivity while in a call, (unless you're downloading something in the background..?) so it sounds like a way to save battery..
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
Here's a perfect example where 3G would rule when working properly.

I'm talking to my wife on my BT headset while driving home from work. I have my G1 on my dash with google maps running with traffic patterns showing. While talking I am able to talk clearly on 3G and still see where traffic is building so I can avoid it. Being stuck in rush hour in NYC sux homeless man b@lls. Whenever I do this and my 3G connection drops my call quality drops and we both hear it while we're talking and then it cuts in and out and the call drops then I dont get updates. It's a feature I would really like to have. Even when Im working and talking and downloading a new update of an app. This happens when I am at a static location as well. I know driving from cell tower to cell tower can have bad effects but it does the same when I'm just at home or any of my work locations. When 3G works properly which is rare its amazing. Its helped me get un lost and find my way many of times.

Point being when T-Mo released the 3G statement they said all users with 3G phones will expierence higher call quality from the extra bandwidth. Why would they cap or or disable it when they are promoting it? I see the the point of saving battery life but it still shouldnt be happening. 3G is made for that feature to work voice + data being accessed together.
[G1 General] crpercodani:
It might just be there 3g network, imo tmobile reception is horrible. Like at my house it is so f'ed up, I can sit in my chair and have 3 bars then walk 2 feet and lose service. It does this all through my house and at my work. They said it must be something in the buildings I am in, bull**** I say because ATT never does that nor did vzw when I used them.
[G1 General] turboyo:
same thing happens with me and 3g and calls..also about the house thing, hows this one for u ill be sitting in the same spot and have good 3g reception and all of a sudden it drops to edge. I know a way around this is to set phone to 3G only but then in areas where theres non im screwed
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
I don't get it. My wife who had the original iPhone and then 3g and now 3gs never had this issue. She would stay on Edge and 3g depending if she waned to save batery life. My old BB 8700g would always stay on Edge never drop to GSM in my apartment. My 3G doesnt even fall to Edge it goes right to GSM. This is really annoying.
[G1 General] c2tmdsn:
every t-mobile phone I have does this

I'm pretty sure its normal
[G1 General] Gary13579:
No one knows if this is a hardware, software, or network problem. Except maybe HTC/T-Mobile/Google.

If your phone stays connected to 3G, it's all good. If it drops down to EDGE, even if for half a second, it will NOT reconnect to 3G until you hang up.
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
My coworkers Samsung t819 doesn't. That's regular cell phone not a smart phone.

If any of those 3 know they should fix it or at the very least advertise that the calls you make are dropped to the lower bandwidth of the GSM network.

T-Mo finally got 3G for the last year don't dumb it down guys. Fix this.

Yes it is true once your phone drops beneath 3G it will not go to 3G until you hang up the call.
[G1 General] turboyo:
try running 3g only or wdma only by creating phone info shortcut on anycut .. im going to try that out and see if it ever drops .. should be a temporary fix for you atleast with the whole maps thing and such but if you ever in an edge only are your screwed
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
I changed it to wcdma only in phone info. Hopefully this works. Everywhere I travel to throughout NYC has 3G. Hopefully this works. Also I have noticed that when downloading anything from 3G be it the market or browser it would drop from 3G to Edge as well.
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
*UPDATE*

While at home downloading apps from Android Market on 3G with wcdma only selected the radio dropped with no netowkr connection. Bust.
[G1 General] crpercodani:
Did she use att or tmobile with the iphone? Because att has a much stronger 3g network then tmobile which could be why. I am pretty sure it is something to do with tmobiles network and not your phone, perhaps your area has to many users for it to stay on 3G. I have read about how the cell towers work and they have only so many bands for each user to access at any given time so if tmobile doesn't have enough towers or those things mounted on the towers it may be set up so you only get 3G for data usage and not calls since they don't technically require it to work.
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
My wife is on ATT. Isn't lower frequency better at penetrating through walls and such? (T-Mo 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz compared to ATT 1800 MHz) They haven't booted their 850 MHz antennas yet so I hear.

If that is true then why not boot me down to Edge or gprs why all the way down to gsm? I been living in the same area for 26 years. I have been with T-Mo before they even had antennas in my area and walking outside was the only way to get a signal with my phone. Now I get full reception in and out of my apartment and 3G connectivity in my apartment with a signal strength of -93dBm through out my apartment on 3G and -79 dBm on Edge.

T-Mo stated that this should not be happening. Hence the 3 phones new battery and charger and techs to the antennas. I'm starting to think its a HTC Android problem and not a T-Mo problem. Hopefully a new radio update can fix it.
[G1 General] crpercodani:
I didn't even know GSM was still used in that way, I thought GPRS would be the bare minimum. How can you tell the difference? I use to only get a G icon and I looked it up and for the g1 it said that meant GPRS, what does it show for GSM? Not like any of this matters though.

I really have no idea why all this is happening to your G1 but I hope it gets resolved, good luck.

edit: on the tmobile coverage map it says edge/gprs and 3g, no gsm. does that make any difference? I checked for NYC overall not any specific boroughs.
[G1 General] PeterC18st:
GSM is what Edge Gprs and 3G run off of. Think of it as a progression. GSM>GPRS>EDGE>3G.

The way I know it is on GSM is to the left of the Radio icon on the home screen there is another icon that shows the network your on. 3G=3G E=EDGE G=GPRS and no icon means GSM. GSM is still being used. Most SMS and MMS messages get sent to your from through GSM while you are on a call.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LessThanSte:
Hello

Im after a bike computer and figure that to save myself from buying a new one i could use my diamond. This leads to 2 questions.

1) Are there any decent apps out there that are decent for use as a bike computer. All i really require is speed, distance and times at various points, really!

2) More importantly, does anyone know of any phone holders that are suitable to attach to the front handlebar of a bike (and by bike i mean bicycle), remembering that it gets shaken around a fair bit and needs to be pretty secure so that it doesnt come flying off!

I came across a program called Pocket GForce which appears to be roughly what im after, has anyone used it for this purpose?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] koerc:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peace2make:
1) GPSCyclecomputer v3 as per previous post is exactly what you are after and what I use myself for mountain biking and urban cycling.

2) I use a RAM U-Bolt system similar to the one shown here:

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/rambikemount.php

(Note: I've mounted mine differently to that so that it doesn't stick out so high and forward either)

It is exceptionally well built and sturdy and easy to install. The only criticism I have of mine is that I use the weatherproof case holder and it can be difficult to see the screen through the plastic cover.

I don't have the specific details of exactly which bits I opted for, where I purchased from and cost to hand but happy to dig them out if you like.

THANKS A LOT ZELALAT FOR SHARING THE FILES WITH US, GOOD WORK !!! :)

Created a ROM with the files provided for 23034 buil, few things still does not work properly still, like when you change theme it doesn't get applied properly.

When you lock the phone, there is a some white degisn from no where appear at the bottom.

When you click on the top task/icon bar, a bigger task bar appears, which is finger friendlier( it's the only coolest UI change I liked about this rom) apart from the fact that when you click on the clock icon, it always open's the power setting pages.

Not that impression UI change. Apart from the bigger task bar pop-up.

Very buggy UI, so don't tried this build unless you have another phone to user for regular purpose.

Just thought of sharing my view about this rom with everybody, with no offence on anybody. :)

3).how to enable magnifier in 23034?
[P3400 ROM Development] vaibhav_batra_the_techguy:
2). I prefer quick menu instead as it already has a decent task manager with a bunch of useful utilities too.

3). There used to be a webview.dll file inside SYS\browsing i have seen in many kitchens that chefs remove this dll. this is causing SMS problem in 23034 build. (Edit: i tried with this too but its still not working.)

4) Just tap on the topbar and it will be there, if its not then there is some problem with your kitchen/build.

I WILL EXCLUDE ANY TASK MANAGER EXCEPT QUICK MENU IN MY FUTURE ROMs

EDIT 2: Finally got it working after using 21840 browsing package

TIP: Use before posting queries, just a suggestion, no offence.

well i guess u installed the cabs i uploaded in sumits thread then u can see icons in the magnifier.

Hello. Last hour i have been looking for the answer to my question, with no results.

I googled and i searched in the forum, but everything is the same as before.

I just wanted to use the gps on my pda...a few days since i got it, and now i am beginning using the gps.

I have downloaded two applications, what i want is to check the speed and altitude, at least. I have richesse GPS, turbo GPS.

The option is ticked in the wmobile menu (let application turn on the gps).

The fact is that i launch the application, turn on the gps, and nothing works. No altitude, no compass, no coordinates of my position (X Y).

What is missing? i have also updated the quick gps application.

don't know the apps in question but gps generally don't work indoors so try outside

talk to your phone company
[Networking] Cythrelo:
Telus is a CDMA provider, so when you make or receive a phone call or text message, it has to temporarily disable the data connection to do so. GSM providers don't have to do this, it's an unfortunate limitation to CDMA technology.

There's light on the horizon, though! When Telus deploys their HSPA network next year, you should be able to upgrade your phone to one that supports HSPA bands (such as the Touch Pro2) and use data during a call.

Hi

just considering switching from my Touch HD to a Hero but have confused myself, currently I sync my Touch with my work and home laptop (both vista with Outlook 2007) with no problems:

1. with HTCSync can i sync with 2 computers?

2. I dont think i can sync notes and tasks?

3. Does the format of the contacts in outlook make any difference? They are all filled in properly!

4. I have Work, Home and Hotmail polling POP every 30 mins, is this still possible?

I searched !!

thanks

I've had two episodes where I sent a SMS to my dad, and the SMS shows up in the list of messages sendt to my sister -> My sister got the SMS.

Anyone else experienced something similar?

Is there a fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] archboy69:
Can't say that I've ever had that happened unless I mistakeningly sent it to the wrong person. Human error rather than device error.

I'm sure you uncle must have enjoyed the message.

Have you thought that maybe your numbers are messed up?? Or maybe all your contacts are switching with each other to mess you up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] z0nic:
Yep, chedked the numbers. This is definately a device error.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
You need to email HTC support like with any issues / bugs you find or they will never know about them. Then hope they bring out a software fix. If we don't tell them, they will think its only a handful of people and not bother to do anything.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tbone7:

I have had the same problem, but the message hasn't actually been sent to the wrong person. It seems that it gets confused about who the person is.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] tallen3:
Same problem here

I did report this to HTC along with not getting sms and getting multiple of the same sms. All they suggested I do is a hard reset (already done) which did not change anything. Not very happy with them they didn't day it was a software fault or a fix was coming
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ritdaw:
They gave me the same response (although I only reported not getting all messages). If the hard reset didn't work they said to get the phone replaced. Its definitely a software fault so I am not replacing it, seeing as others have had issues with dead pixels etc...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] i_maq:
It's only a display problem, you just close messages then reopen it, or go to the messages tab of the contact you sent the text to then click on the message and it'll correct the names.

I've had a similar issue once! Strange experience: I actually thought I had sent all kinds of SMS-es to the wrong person ;-)

then wipe and reflash. That should fix it, otherwise you will need to delete your apps too :-(
