[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] theonemarcus:
well as u see i am new at this. i read a lot from these forums since i love the htc product. but i don't know how to tether or anything like that. i just installed the radio i just displayed hoping to be able to get 3g speed. but it stays at edge at all times.

and the site u used to determine my speed i just found off google is a downlink site. and still my speed is slower than edge speeds.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mlacomb:
Keep in mind the tower that is servicing your phone can have crap for bandwidth too.

I was near Gretna, VA on a trip and had full bars on 3g. I swear they had a dial-up modem on the other end of the tower though. Google maps were loading up slower than a typical edge connection.

In the end, it may not be your radio that's giving you trouble.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] theonemarcus:
I tried it through out Atlanta today. Different towers and several areas of metro Atlanta. West Atlanta, North Atlanta, and East Atlanta.

Keep in mind my phone is the htc touch pro. I do not have the brand names from t-mobile or AT&T.

Should I try a different rom or is that a useless effort?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] peeps:
perhaps 3G is disabled in your phone settings or the manila settings...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mwcostello:
You may have a hardware limitation. I noticed on the various Rhodiums that were around and for sale, the unlocked Touch Pro 2's stated they were not ATT 3G compatible, although they were 3G compatible. Apparently there are different implementations of 3G.

You may want to look into whether that is something in the firmware associated with the radio (Radio ROM) or the hardware itself.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mapaz04:
Sounds like sprint

If you have the SPRINT service or a SPRINT phone, you do not have the "3G" icon enabled:(. This is because SPRINT uses the EDGE network and not the 3G network. They say that their network now (REV A) is actually what they consider 3.5G and is supposed to be faster than regular 3G :eek:. I have no issues with my phone with the speed, however, if you want the 3G to display, find a custom task bar and that icon will change to the 3G. Once again, SPRINT does not display "3G"

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] theonemarcus:
the setting show that 3g is enable.

i looked into the hdw side of things ... it looked like it is compatible according to the specs. i did notice there r some firmware update on htc that was released this yr. i'll have to look into that.

i thought of that too. that this rom my not have the 3g icon, but from time to time it will show "G" and then back to "E". and as far as i know ... i shough have close to 300kbs or more for downspeed. and i right?

thanks everyone for all of ur input. i'll look into all of it and get back to u. thx again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hobbbbit:
If you have a standard Touch Pro (not Fuze or T-Mobile version), there's a very good chance you accidently picked up European version of it. European version will have European 3G, which is not compatible with US 3G frequency bands. Look into your documentation and see if you phone supports the following:

AT&T uses 850/1900

TMobile uses 1700/2100

European frequency bands are 1800/2100 if I remember correctly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bliind:
I have the Fuze and radio 1.14.25.35, and I get 396kB/s with only 2 bars...

Oh, and I'm in Connecticut.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] unforseenenemy:
lame!

something has got to be wrong man....i live hours away from 3G and if i even look at my phone wrong i lose reception!

BUT i got 281-392 Kbps!

Have you called your provider?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] theonemarcus:
That could be true, but the documentation i have states:

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

Europe/Asia: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

the 850 and 1900 Mhz should not matter if its in europe or in usa, right???

but there is a new updates. i Used IE on the phone and my speed is incredible. i was able to test 3mb and it came back with speeds higher than fast 3g. just like my old phone. but under opera it would not go any faster than 40 kbs. i used another browser called skyfire. and i went to mobilespeedtest and got: . i went to cnet brandwidth test and got 3632.3 kbps. lol. amazing it looks like opera was my problem. hear are all of my results:

opera: (after testing using the other browsers now i get these results)

mobilespeedtest.com

cnet bandwidth test

.6745 mbps

IE:

mobilespeedtest

.408 mbps

Skyfire:

mobilespeedtest.com

:eek::eek::eek:

cnet bandwidth test

3.2588 mbps :eek:

is it me ... or does your phone get warm when u use the net for a long time???
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
I doubt that the results are valid with a browser like Skyfire. It does all the rendering on the skyfire server instead of on your phone. It's probably reporting the rates in between the test site and the Skyfire server. Skyfire is fast, though; it's much faster at bringing up a full webpage than any other browser. You can open up espn.com in about 5 seconds.

[G1 Android Development] jpidancet:
Hi,

I had a look over the recovery code in the official android source, and in the cyanogen sources. And one point remains obscure to me.

It seems that in both cases, the flashing program verifies the signature of the zip archive using a public key located in /res/keys.

I use cyanogenmod and it turns out that when I reboot in recovery mode and open a console, there is no /res/keys file.

Can someone explain me where is the trick here ?

One more question. I guess that if there is a public key in the device, there must be a private key used to sign the archives. (Probably kept secret by the carriers to sign their own updates). But I read somewhere that there is some apps available to sign theses updates (something called SignAPK or so). So I guess that either the private key has leaked from the carriers, or that something in the rooting process of the G1 changed the key pair on my device.

Can someone give me more details ?

Thx

Julian
[G1 Android Development] jusplainmike:
I can't answer your first part, but rooted phones use the ADP1 test keys to sign packages.
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Usually the AOSP keys are used to sign zips, if you need instructions, they are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=471586&highlight=sign
[G1 Android Development] jpidancet:
Thank you for your answers, but it seems that I don't need any custom scripts to sign the update.zip, since there is already everything needed inside the android source tree (build/tools/releasetools).

The test-keys are located under build/target/product/security/.

But that doesn't explain why I can't see the /res/keys file when in recovery mode.

Julian
[G1 Android Development] lyb:
Newer version of recovery(eclair) reads the public keys from /res/keys, but with cupcake, public keys included in the source file, see install.c and keys.inc for more detail.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusdream:
I am so feared now that my phone seemed to become a brick, a really messed-up one.

I have a white G1 bought in France, so the root process is different. I followed "[HOW-TO] change your french orange dream firmware by a custom one..."

which means I have new

boot image, but not know the version, of course, that one in that thread

system image

data image

Till now, I had successfully had my phone display "ADP1" in the "about" menu.

What I want to do is to upgrade to 1.6 Donut from built-in 1.1, nightmare began.

First, I cannot get to "recovery mode", so I want to install cm-recovery-1.4.img, since I got "no space on device” error, I followed the instruction on cyanogenmod website and erased my recovery partition first, but when installing, it told me "signature fail" error.

Thus, I lost my recovery mode, everything I could do was under "fastboot mode". I tried to load recovery image in fastboot and reboot to update. That worked, but Donut needs new radio, I installed successfully, but the update.zip was still failed to pass signature check, I thought I should get an EngBootloader to bypass the check, and after I installed that, my phone couldn't boot normally, it would boot directly into fastboot mode, and more terrible, my computer could no longer recognize my phone, which meant I lost the last possible connection with my phone.

Can anyone tell me how to solve such complex problem? I thank you so much!

I have the Nandroid Backup files on my SD card, but without connection in fastboot, inability to boot normally, and without recovery partition content, I feel so hopeless......

And, one more question, is it impossible to let manufacture to repair such problem?

Thank you again~
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If you can't boot in to recovery (home + power) or the SPL (home + camera) then you're doomed.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusdream:
Yes, no recovery mode, and I can boot into SPL, but a wrong one ( I just found out that Engineering Bootloader cannot be used on DREA2000 models ), my only hope is to find a way to let my laptop recognize the device, however not now.

So, if I am doomed, is it possible to return to the factory to "raw" flash sth?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So the SPL doesn't work, and you can't get Fastboot to recognize the phone? If that's the case it's bricked. You could take it back to the store (assumingyou got it on a contract) and say that after an update the phone won't boot, hopefully if you play dumb they'll give you a new one.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusdream:
Yeah, I know what you mean... I just want to know if I can get computer recognize the phone, I think Fastboot ( to some extent ) works, because it boot into fastboot, with "serial0" displayed, and after push "Back" button, it changed to "FASTBOOT", but on computer, when I typed command, it always show "Wait for device"...

I have a contract, but I don't know if it works, the reason why I flash my phone is that G1 in France has not service of update! That's bizzare, the phone has not OTA function, and built-in 1.1 firmware cannot even use 3rd-party InputMethod...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
They ship with 1.1? My God, you carrier should not be allowed to carry Android devices >.<

In that case, make up some rubbish about installing a few apps, then your phone restarted and wont turn on (which actually happened to someone in the UK)..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusdream:
You are right, the Orange France... unbelievable.... 1.1 is fine, not OTA is strange....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
How long have you had the phone? OTA's can sometimes take a couple of days to reach the phone...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titusdream:
I bought as a gift to else, so I didn't use it as daily device. But as I figure out, there is no menu "system update" or related in my "settings", which means it even don't have this function.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] kiwilime:
Nevermind this thread, I found the answer. I searched this on google, you just need to change the settings on tcpmp, and turn raw framebuffer on.

2. Go to Options --> Video --> Raw FrameBuffer

So...I went with a friend of mine to pick up his Droid. I must say, I was pretty impressed. While I was at the verizon store I also noticed the had a "Droid ERIS" for sale. It had the Rosie UI. Just to check it out, I wanted to see the firmware, and there it was plain as day "1.6".

I have available a Samsung Behold 2 that has the new "TouchWiz" Android software on it, I understand that it is very graphically oriented and most likely will not run on a G1/MT3G but that has never stopped anyone, especially not here.

Then just turn that into a zip file and upload it onto a website
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsukisan:
The phone is not personally mine I just have limited access so the ability to dump it to a microSD card would be preferable but I'm assuming that is not possible without SU. In regards to the comment about TouchWiz not being android, this OS is android based but very modified to appear as TouchWiz, the one thing I really like about it is the fact that your icons/widgets are not restricted to a grid as stock android is, you can place the icons wherever you like not just within the 4x4 square we all know. Also the 3 home pages can have different backgrounds and moving from page to page appears to be a 3d cube from the inside. Thanks for the help so far.

Hi all

Setting aside cost, please help me find good mature (!) GPS navigation software which will:

1. Work on WM 6.1

2. Support WVGA (480x800) - at least in landscape mode

3. Has turn-by-turn navigation and TTS

4. Obviously good database of maps (USA/EU) and POI

5. Utilize my GPRS/EDGE connection to show additional POI, search Gas prices, weather, etc - free (no subscription)

No Google Maps, please :)

E.g. iGo8 can do almost all, but #5, because PNA version does not support inet and PDA version does not support TTS.

Am I asking for too much ? :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] thecasimir:
TTS work fine here with iGO
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bogdatov:
There are 2 flavors of iGo. PDA version (for phones) and PNA version (for standalone devices).

TTS works fine on PNA version, but not on PDA version. But PNA version does not support internet.

And PDA version does not support TTS
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Jack-R:
RE: GPS soft with TTS and Inet connection

It looks like you need Garmin Mobile XT for Windows Mobile Ver. 5.00.20w

For software and maps check GPS forums or buy from Garmin.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bogdatov:
Looks nice. So it DOES support TTS and internet connection and WVGA ? I'll check it out. Thanks

Hi!

I've put an app together (99% based on "Wireless Tether for Root Users") which allows tethering via USB. Clients need to support RNDIS - works fine with Microsoft Windows (tested with XP and 7) and Linux (OpenSuSE 11.1).

Zinx Verituse has ported the essential parts of the hero-kernel and cyanogen has introduced this feature in his latest rom. So, thanks Zinx for the patches and cyanogen for publishing on github.

Patches can be found here:

http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/9fd56ebdb6aba91e9b17ddea490ec9b39a819112

http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/1a57339f015c3bfa097cf1d3e82f3485a6652483

I've decided to create this app to give all rom-cooks the ability to use this feature without modifying system-services and/or system-apks.

What a cook needs to do: Patch your kernel and recompile - all other stuff is done by the app.

Download:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

Features:

* Tethering makes use of the mobile-data-connection (HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS) or WiFi-connection

* Uses correct domainname-servers - provided by your carrier or which are configured on the wifi-access-point you connect (even if the network changes => switch from 3g to wifi and vice versa)

* Allows to change the local-network (network/subnetmask)

Supported ROMs:

* CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1+

* Android Dev Phone 1

=> my kernel-update needs to be applied: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list?q=Kernel

* ?

Have fun!

[G1 Apps and Games] kmartburrito:
Hi Harry,

I'm visiting from the CDMA Hero forum, in the hopes that you might have some pointers on how to get this to work on the rooted CDMA Hero?

When I looked at this project over at code.google.com, it seems like this requires 1.6, where the CDMA hero is running 1.5. Will this fact doom us to ever run wired tether at this point?

From what I can tell on my Hero, everything seems to run fine until after I allow root access for the app. It then gives me a FC when accessing the system settings (as it's the one referenced in the FC.)

Can I apply your kernel safely to my ROM? Thanks in advance for your help!!

I've been using the wired tether for the past week and have experienced some issues. Mainly, if the tether app isn't in the foreground, the process seems to randomly get restarted. This manifests as brief hiccups in internet access for the connected computer. Didn't experience this problem using WT4R (in bluetooth mode).

Could you please explain (or put in the first post) why use this while the current tether in Network Settings (CM4.2.x) works just fine?
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
If usb-tethering with cyanogenmod is working fine for you there is no reason why you should use this app. I've implemented just a few enhancements (using the correct domainname-servers, changing lan-config) - I don't know how cyanogen is doing this stuff (I don't use it).

The main-idea of this app was to bring usb-tethering to other roms (where system-settings can't be modified or roms which a pretty close to stock roms and heavily modified parts are not welcome). All you need for this is a modified kernel which can be easily done.
[G1 Apps and Games] harry_m:
