Hi Everybody,

im searching for a tool, that activates/deactivates WLAN via GPS-Coordinates in order to save power and don't have WLAN always on.

So i can save my known WLAN's in this tool and the WLAN Module turn's on/off automaticly, when i reach them.

I searched already here and with google... but didn't find anything... :confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] papadi:
I suppose you understand that for something like this to work you will have to be in open space. GPS does not work when you are in a building, since it needs direct visual access to satellites.

Have you considered using time as criterion to switch on/off wifi? For instance if you know that you want it to be on at home and you know that you are at home from 1800 to 0800 you can use this as critetrion.

There are several tools in this category:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Joker1075:
I know about, that GPS needs a direct sattelite contact.

The best would be, that the tool will turn on/off when u came into an defined area.

Otherwise u could safe the GPS-Point infront of your entry door ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Anders Östberg:
Does WLAN use more power than GPS? (just a thought). :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Joker1075:
I think so... but would be interresting if someone realy knows.

U can drive with navigationsoftware for more than 10 hours without any problems...

Never had WLAN so long turned on, but i think it wouldn't last so long, until the battery runs out of power....

:cool:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] simonGsez:
G-Profile could be interessting.

You can turn WLAN on/off in specified GSM Cells.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] SmashD:
Would have suggested that myself, so +1 for G-Profile ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Joker1075:
That's already a step in the right way....

The cells in my area in germany r a little bigger, so WLAN could be on for a long time *G*

I will give it definatly a try, even i readed about some probs with the software in a german forum. But usualy ageye makes great software... G-Alarm is great...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Joker1075:
I tried the tool now for a week and for my purpose it's a real battery killer....

The GSM Cells r too big over here...

Maybe someone knows another tool? :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] paokaras45:
R U kidding?

GPS uses at least as twice the energy than wifi!!!! :eek:

I recommend a wifi shortcut app in start menu to activate wifi manually.

Wifi toggle i think....!

BTW, having phone in sleep state, switches off both wifi and gps.

So when waking the device, it will start search and connect to a preferred wifi spot.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Joker1075:
I just installed good old "Battery Monitor". Maybe it doesn't work well, but the power cunsumtion is the following:

Idle: 200 mA

GPS: 310 mA

WLAN: 425 mA

also i travel a lot with my Topaz and Navigon and the Battery doesn't run out of Power the whole day. After 10 hours in use, the accu ist about 40%.

Right now, with WLAN 10-12 h on, i have to charge the battery every day....
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Pimmr:
Does anyone know how to fix this function in WM6.5? Running Energyrom on my TP2. When I enter the first characters of my contact name in the To field both in sms/mail, nothing happens. Only when I press backspace once the suggestion list appears.

This goes for both my software and hardware keyboard, regardless of XT9 settings... For the rest it doesn't lock up or anything like I read in other forums, I can select the contact from the list and it replaces the entered characters with the full contact address. This works fine. It is just that I would like the suggestions to appear directly when typing characters...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Pimmr:
An update to the latest EnergyROM fixed this! Case closed :)
[G1 Android Development] vishurao:
I had Jax1.7r2.

This is what seemed to work for me:

1. take nandroid. save the imgs on your PC.

2. download Cyanogens latest build with BFS.

3. Extract boot.img from that.

4. flash boot.img (cyanogen), data.img (nandroid), system.img(nandroid)

5. boot.

6. push the /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko from cyanogen to your device.

It is sort of fast, i think.

To the biggies out there: Did i do something that is extremely stupid?
[G1 Android Development] vishurao:
It is fast
[G1 Android Development] horrorwolf:
How exactly can you confirm that this is working properly?
[G1 Android Development] nestortoledo:
i have installed, and is working fine. no lag when recibe calls.
[G1 Android Development] vishurao:
1. i am able to use my phone.

2. its faster.

3. Jacs build has "New 2.6.29 kernel by JAC-SKI CUSTOM HTC SOURCED", mine shows 2.6.29.6-cm4 shade@toxygene. I am assuming cm = cyanogenmod.

4. wifi didnt work. Had to use the driver that was from the same build as the kernel i took. Basically BFS build.

5. Its FAST.
[G1 Android Development] horrorwolf:
Cool, whats the driver name? Is it only the /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko?
[G1 Android Development] vishurao:
Yes. That is correct.
[G1 Android Development] horrorwolf:
Awesome thanks Vishurao. I'll see if this works with the latest Drizzy rom. :)
[G1 Android Development] kobz1973:
what is BFS ??
[G1 Android Development] paulobrien:
I packaged it as an update.zip in this topic:

[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
BFS is the Brain F*** Scheduler that an Aussie linux hacker created last month which has reinvented the thought of how processes should be scheduled on a desktop computer. BFS is geared towards smaller systems, not corporate servers with 4096 processors, thus better to serve our purpose.

Cyanogen has backported BFS to Android thus allowing us all to benefit on our Dream/Hero/Magic.

Cyanogen is awesome.
[G1 Android Development] A|G:
???

..Can i use this on CM 4.0.4 bros???????????????????
[G1 Android Development] n1ghtl1fe:
yes, but best bet is too just update to cyans latest. it has it installed
[G1 Android Development] A|G:
??

.Why is that?, will i mess pr lose something?
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
I tried it but it fails (gets stuck at the G1 screen.)

I can't wait for Cyanogen to update the stable build.
[G1 Android Development] A|G:

Kool Thanx Bros!
[G1 Android Development] bobdude5:
does your multitouch work?
[G1 Android Development] Coderedpl:
can someone post direct link to the one we get for the g1/
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
What do you mean? This whole forum is about the G1. The Hero with BFS is within the first page.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Or you can just install JacHeroSki 1.8. Sinche it already has it for you. Why reinvent the wheel?
[G1 Android Development] ivanmmj:
That's what I was hinting at. :p
[G1 Accessories] atsic:
Someone knows if exist a stereo bluetooth earphone with the mp3 controls that is compatible with the g1 and cyanogen firmware? I saw that doesn't exist wired, hope at least to find one bluetooth.
[G1 Accessories] coredalae:
afaik most devices that are A2dp profiled should work.

i'm currently using the jabra BT3030, works fine.
[G1 Accessories] atsic:
I thought exactly about the jabra BT3030. I think is the best one for what i need. I saw also some china device, the problem is only to know if them will work or not properly!
[G1 Accessories] mrjay:
SE DS970 works great and also displays the phone number on the led screen on incoming calls.
[G1 Accessories] atsic:
seems that doesn't have the mp3 controls on it. Just play/pause button is it correct?
[G1 Accessories] atsic:
just checked better and it has... i will found one over ebay to see if is more or not expensive of a bt3030
[G1 Accessories] ruffrider5956:
hey just wondering can you change the headphones on these or no. Does it work with a modded rom. Does it display the incoming calls number thank you
[G1 Accessories] IConrad01:
DO NOT purchase a Lubix product. They do not work w/ Android.

(Specifically, they don't have SCO/ "phone audio" support in Cupcake+, and the MP3 controls only work with Windows Media Player, and hence not w/ Android.)
[G1 Accessories] ruffrider5956:
whats a lubix product the nokia bluetooth headphones
[G1 Accessories] rakjer:
I've had the Sony DR-BT50 for a year now. They have amazing sound quality and have a mic for phone calls. All the controls are on the right speaker. I usually only have to charge them after 15 hours of listening.
[G1 Accessories] ruffrider5956:
but will the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 work with the cyanogen experimental roms
[G1 Accessories] mrjay:
yes they work. i was on cyanogen 4.0.4 but i need exchange so i moved to a rogers rom.

they have mp3 controls (next and previous and volume buttons) also it displays the caller number not caller id. (i know that sucks, was wishing for caller id also). i have them for almost an year and the battery lasts about 6-8 hours listening to music.
[G1 Accessories] laz2336:
Been using a jabra BT8010 for a few months now with out issue on the xROM roms.

If your after a tiny sleek device this isn't it but I've not found it any where near as bad as alot of reviews made it out to be.

in normal use it is just a single ear device, but if you want stereo it comes with the aditional ear piece that plugs into the back of the main unit.

Control wise i found it quite intuative, single click paly/pause, double click skip track, press'n hold stop, nice and easy. though its also able to swap between phone headset mode and music contol mode at the click of a button. It'll also pair to 2 devices simultaniously and let you swap which is the primary to be controlled on the fly.

it has an oled display that will show the calling number, but it also has a 30 number onboard phone book, so if you have a callers name and number stored on the headset (programed over usb) it will display the name instead. not propper caller ID but its a start.

oh and it can also vibrate, which is just a bit odd when its hanging off the side of your head, but it does mean you can leave the phone in you bag (lets face it the G1 is a bit bulky once you get extended batteries etc on it) and just have the headset in your pocket and be able to tell if its ringing and see whose calling before you answer it without even seeing your phone.

only thing i've been able to complain about at all is the size, but the features out weigh that minor issue
[G1 Accessories] NoLooseNuts:
bluetooth stereo headsets

I use the Moto Rokr SD-9's and they are awesome, has mic for calls and all controls on the headphones for volume and track skip and such

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roakes:
Hey all,

Currently using an unbranded HTC Hero on Orange, unsure if I am getting a 3G connection though, icon wise I constantly have a "G" but unsure if it should show "3G" instead, also seen an "E" a couple of times which I assume is Edge but didn't know Orange supported it.

Just wondering if a 3G icon as such actually exists? If so could it be a setting somewhere I haven't got configured correctly?

Thanks

Russ
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryallott:
Could be 2 things.

You have use only 2G networks checked in the settings

OR

You need a new sim, although the phone supports 3G your sim needs to as well. If you are still using an old sim which was from a non 3G mobile then you need a new one. Contact your provider to ask them for a new one (you will keep your number).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felikz:
how to REALLY find out whether you are connected with 3G? i mean not just looking for that 3G symbol ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballandbiscuit:
I had to do this a while back, if you have never bought a 3G phone from Orange you probably have a 2G SIM. Call them and they will send you a new one for free.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roakes:
So I'm right in thinking there should be a 3G icon? I'll get onto them thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roakes:
Well in a very strange turn of events I may actually benefit from this. Having called Orange to ask for a 3G SIM (they confirmed I had 2G) they basically said it wasn't possible to do a straight swap, something about contracts.

After a bit of complaining they have basically come to the conclusion that the only way to help me out is to restart my contract from scratch and send me out a new 3G handset along with the SIM.

So not only will I have my beloved Hero running on 3G I will also have an as yet unspecified 3G handset for sale!

Just waiting for them to call back :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roakes:
And the handset I will be getting...a HTC Touch 3G!

Should fetch a pretty penny
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Thats really bull**** why can't they swap your sim card. i had vodafone sim card i lost it and went to vodafone they give me a new sim card directly 5 minuts later it was active. its very weird that they have to give you new contract.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felikz:
thats ****in crazy! i'd not accept that!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roakes:
Replacing like for like isn't an issue, it's because I need to "upgrade" the SIM card as such that they have a problem.

Still, works out nicely for me considering I was only 4 months into my contract and have a pretty sweet deal of £15 a month for 200 mins, unlimited txts and 500mb data. So no complaints that I have to restart my contract.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Mauvan:
on my old HTC I used Pocketbreeze. this app had a blinking tab for warning for an upcoming birthday.

now I don't use apps like that anymore but I miss that birthday notifications.

anyone knows a small (and free) WM application for this?

thanks

in the mean while I got rid of the TouchFLO mess and now I use SPB Mobile Shell.

Frequently my calendar will sync for hours on end and eat through the battery life,forcing me to turn it off altogether so I don't run out altogether. The data does actually sync fine,ie both calendars are up to date all the time, so far as I can tell. Any ideas? I have searched this forum and google to no avail. I happen to use Cyanogen's rather brilliant (experimental series) ROM, but don't feel this is related as no other Cyanogen users have reported similar issues. Can't remember if I had these problems on stock ROM. Help?

Cheers
[G1 General] Fingerlickin:
Are we talking about the google calendar?
[G1 General] Fingerlickin:
If it is google calendar check on your PC that you don't have background image or attach google docs enabled in your calendar. These features may not be compatible.
[G1 General] richardkemp:
Cheers for the reply, interesting idea. It seems to have gone away (for now) after I exported everything to ical files, deleted everything and re-imported (via a PC). Fingers crossed..

Hi I have a T-Mob Vario IV running WM65 build 21815.5.0.50

I tried a few newer Roms 23409 but the phone wouldnt boot - the T-Mob splash came up and that was it..

I wasnt able to downgrade back without doing a hard reset and leaving the phone in USB loader mode

I managed to unbrick my phone but arent sure why the upgraded roms didnt work (they were both for Touch Pro (not Fuse etc)

Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] wilbur-force:
What ROMs were you using ? Ive been flashing NRG ROMS on a (UK) TMobile Vario IV for a while.

I assume you have HARDSPL'd ?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JonathanCassar:
I tried two different ones

one was called Juicy_8_090830H and the other DomSim Black Dragon

They both seemed to install ok - the ROM load went to 100% and reported success

But neither booted past the t-Mobile splash screen

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Warsyndicate:
Well i want to put a HTC Hero rom on my T-mobile MT3G 32b device. I came across http://theunlockr.com/. I watched the rooting video here and the rom installation here.

Well i know that my device is the exact same as in the video so i pretty much can't mess up the procedure unless i am completely useless as a human being.

Well i just want to know even if i do the procedure correctly if i can brick my phone? My GF was kind enough to buy me the phone for our anniversary about a week or 2 ago and yeah i love it but would like a hero rom. I just don't want to make my gift into a paper weight and get the misses angry at me for ruining a 250 dollar phone that lasted about 3 weeks.

Thank you for your time it is much appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] finalgear:
its well worth it to go ahead and do it i actually hated the phone in stock form and wanted to get rid of it but after i installed the HERO Rom i actually love the phone, FYI i traded a iphone 3g for this phone and hated it with the original t-mobile software and wanted my iphone back but after the HERO rom upgrade i love it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mgorman:
there are only two steps in the rooting process that can brick your phone that i know of.

the first one is while updating the SPL and the second one is while updating the RADIO.

once you get those two things to the right versions then you cannot brick your phone. you can install/uninstall as many roms as you want as long as you don't mess with the SPL or RADIO.

also, if your doing the one-touch root just make sure your phone doesn't turn off or the battery die while its working, then you could brick your phone.

and its definitely worth rooting to put the hero rom on there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Warsyndicate:
alright thanks for your replies they are much appreciated yeah i think i will go ahead and do this then and will make sure my battery is fully charged =D.

One More question how often do you have to update the spl and radio. or are they one time only things? I am new to this so just wanna make sure i don't mess anything up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] naplesbill:
Since you are on the MT3G you do not have to worry about changing the SPL or radio. Just perform the one-click and then load the rom of your choice.

If you plan to run Hero then be sure to get a class 6 microsd and use the rav recovery image (part of the rooting process) to format it with 3 partitions. It will be an option when you go to recovery mode. I actually recommend a 128mb linux swap but that requires some manual partitioning and I'm not sure if you are prepared for something like that.

I have loaded just about all the roms and I still have the original spl and radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Warsyndicate:
Oh alright ill be sure to look into that. Thanks again for all your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
Guys,

I am by no means a developer. However over the few days I have been experimenting with modifying some ROMs.

I have a rooted Hero with Modaco 1. 5 installed.

I have also discovered I can pull my protected apps from the phone and install them from my SD card.

My question is:

If I insert the .apk's into a ROM and re-sign it, will they automatically install?

I also run my apps from SD so will they go back there or will they use up internal memory?

If this works I could drop all of my protected apps onto each ROM update before flashing!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] offcina:
yes ir works. i use to do it that way!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
what about copying paid/bought app's apk files to a new rom, are they in some way protected sothat this would not work?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Amdathlonuk:
No, this is why I was asking.

I have successfully taken a paid/protected app off my phone using a file manager program and just copying and pasting the .apk from the 'system/sd' folder on the EXT3 extension.

I have then installed it on another phone using an SD and app manager.

Therefore I was considering taking all of my paid/protected apps and dropping them into a ROM before I flash it to save downloading anymore programs as all of my other programs will already be on my EXT3 part of my SD card!

Woohoo......

Right, how do I sign a zip file? :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] felikz:
aha okay, thats very interesting! ;-) know what im saying ;-)

Sorry I did a bit of a search but not getting the answers I want to know.

With my diamond i just hard reset > mtty format > flash new rom > hard reset.

If you flash any roms, you should always do a hardreset after flashing.
