[Touch HD General] goldfinder:
The current Telstra Rom uses Radio 1.14.25.24 and I have also tried updating to 1.17.25.09 but this does not affect the bands at all. They appear to be rom specific as you said. Looks like I may have to learn how to dissassemble the Telstra Rom and cook my own rom with the correct bands. Hate all the telstra branding and limitations using the original rom. I think I better start reading.

Thanks for you help anyways Sean3.
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
so i have wifi tether enabled on my nexus one and my ipod touch can pick it up perfectly fine but for some reason my droid doesnt.is there a solution to this? any specific channel i have to use?
[Nexus One General] gsvnet:
I know this is going to sound strange, but I believe this is the issue-- Android phones have the ability to *create* an ad-hoc connection with wifi-tether, but they can't *connect* to another ad-hoc network. An iTouch used to not be able to do this in earlier versions of its OS (IIRC), but now it's able to as of around 2.0+
[Nexus One General] Odinist:
Two nights ago I turned on WiFi tether on my G1, and my friend's Droid was able to connect to it just fine. Weird.
[Nexus One General] jkhouw1:
hmm i just tested my unrooted AT&T N1 and it will NOT see my wifi-tether Droid.

the laptop sees the droid with no issues.

if i manually add the droid's network SSID, the Nexus One just reports "Not in range"

BobDude5 - is your Droid rooted?

Odinist - is your friends droid rooted?
[Nexus One General] bobdude5:
Yes both my nexus one and Droid are rooted ...and its the Droid that won't pick up the nexus ones signal
[Nexus One General] britoso:
This is because the tether creates an ADHOC network. Your phone only knows how to find/connect to infrastructure type networks.

Search the forums if you need to enable connect-to-adhoc. I'm not 100% sure its possible.
[Nexus One General] zippa71385:
I have the N1 as well and cannot get my "other" android phone to connect. BUT! My friends rooted N1 found it fine no issues. My laptop, some dude in the coffee shop have also found it.
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
I don't remember which WiFi chipset is in the DROID but if it's a TI (Texas Instruments) WiFi Chipset, Google for tiwlan.ini.

There's an "unofficial" fix I think in the recent modded ROM's for N1 which enables the ability to join an AdHoc WiFi SSID though which uses the Broadcom chipset. "Rooting" is a misnomer in a sense.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] zippa71385:
So then you will need a rooted phone to connect I would imagine?
[Nexus One General] Kermee:
Yeah. You'd have to root your "other" Android phone first to change the tiwlan.ini file to enable connecting to AdHoc SSID's if it's a TI WiFi chipset.

Cheers,

Kermee
[Nexus One General] furius:
How can be possible that my n1 can share 3g connection with iPhones, laptops and other devices but can't tether to my HTC hero? I have both devices rooted... Is there any solutions?

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus One General] nexus5894:
Difference

The Wi-Fi Tether for Root Users app creates an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network while the built-in wireless tethering creates an infrastructure network that other Android devices can connect to.

Oh and btw, the current OS version for the iTouch is 4.1

Samsung Infuse Wifi Sigal not detected

I have a Rooted Infuse. My Laptop see's the Wifi Signal but my Vizio tablet wont. Can one help me with this? :(
[Hero CDMA General] rjj1976:
What do you all think of this post I found on Androidforums:

Those with worse battery life with Fresh 2.0b

I found a solution!! If you go to settings->About Phone->Battery->Battery Use It will show what items are using your battery. For me if I tapped on Cell standby, time without a signal was at 50%. It accounted for 73% of my battery usage. (Please note that I am using flipz newest radio also)

Here's how to fix it:

Open the dialer

Dial: *#*#4636#*#*

After a second, the testing menu will show up

Tap Phone information

If you scroll down, the preferred network type was defaulted to GSM auto (PRL)

Change it to CDMA only

Time without a signal should change to 0-1%. Also note that the battery use menu is only updated after unplugging the phone from the charger.
[Hero CDMA General] Tikerz:
Makes sense. Will try it! Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] Wasney:
I am running damagecontrol, and it was already set correctly to CDMA...figured I would just put this out there.

Let me change that...it says "CDMA auto (PRL)"
[Hero CDMA General] rjj1976:
Wasney, what is your time without a signal percent?
[Hero CDMA General] beyondinferno:
noticed 50% without signal with damagecontrol also. just changed to cdma only.

I'll let you know in about 12 hrs what happend!
[Hero CDMA General] Wasney:
That isn't even listed for me...But then again I reset my phone this morning, an have been in good signal all day.
[Hero CDMA General] andyriot:
mine was at 50% with damageless rom. it was set to CDMA auto (PRL) but i changed it to CDMA only and will see what the result is.... just plugged it in and unplugged it to reset the battery stats....
[Hero CDMA General] Fird:
I've noticed 50-56% as well, Damageless1.0 and it is set properly to CDMA auto (PRL).
[Hero CDMA General] athlet1c:
ill run the CDMA only on my end
[Hero CDMA General] beyondinferno:
so far so good! I'm on DamageControl v1 set it to cdma only and my battery usage to cell has dropped to 28%! i'll update again later.
[Hero CDMA General] athlet1c:
Good info......
[Hero CDMA General] ajaholic:
without Auto PRL, wouldn't we not get the latest and most updated cell tower frequencies? i mean for home locations i guess it what wouldn't really matter, but what about in areas without sprint coverage? how would it know which network to roam on?
[Hero CDMA General] Tipharet:
Yeah I would assume this would be the case, but that bat increase is pretty decent. I am going to enable it and use it for a day or so around the city.
[Hero CDMA General] beyondinferno:
update: Noticed after a couple reboots my connected time was back up to 50%... I never left my house and i have good coverage here. What gives?
[Hero CDMA General] PRGUY85:
So is this worth doing?
[Hero CDMA General] feld:
not yet. i mean, make sure you're not set for GSM but CDMA Only isn't helping me -- still always at 50%. Weird.

Probably a radio bug in this firmware :(
[Hero CDMA General] PRGUY85:
Are you using Flips' Radio file?
[Hero CDMA General] PRGUY85:
So currently mine says CDMA auto (PRL)....I guess I should leave it at that then.
[Hero CDMA General] feld:
I'm not aware of a Flips radio file? Was this something hidden in that giant Damagecontrol thread?

edit: found it and flashed the radio. Will have to wait to see if this makes any difference. Currently on the suggested "CDMA Only" from this thread.

http://geekfor.me/downloads/radio-241040203/
[Hero CDMA General] koolhand79:
I'm not notcing any diferent in connect percentage. Still at 50% as others have stated. Battery life seems the same too.

Does anyone else notice that the first day after flashing a rom, the battery life is great? Then the next day it's back to normal. This happens to me with every single rom I upgrade to. Just an observation.
[Hero CDMA General] zikronix:
im not running his rom but i am running the radio. I dont even see that option
[Hero CDMA General] akijikan:
Right now its unclear what the difference between "CDMA auto (PRL)" and "CDMA only" is.

Does switching to CMDA only disallow roaming? Or does it disallow PRL updates? Or is neither true?

If someone can shed light on this I think it would help.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Set it to CDMA only. Still at 50% without signal, even after reboot.
[Hero CDMA General] feld:
same here with CDMA (auto PRL)

Doesn't seem to me like there's any way to fix that.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Alright, I'm at 4% without signal while set to cdma auto prl. I have been places without signal though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dwin:
Can you read a chinese epub in your Malina ebook reader ?

The version I try was HTC Reader v1.0 (Build 2011.2511)

The part display correctly:

---The title of the book (on top of the screen)

---The table of content

The part does not display chinese

---The body of the chapter. (it only display the character ? instead of chinese)

I have test this epub in "Freda", Freda can display all chinese word correctly.

BTW: any good PDF to epub convert ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dwin:
really...

no one test ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] anson3959:
It works perfect on mine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chteh2008:
I also facing this problem...any solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tieuphi:
For HTC eBook Reader, by default the program uses windows mobile's system fonts to display all character. In another way, if your epub books embed the special fonts (by using css style and .opf extension), the reader then will display all characters correctly.

I will upload a sample epub book with emded fonts later.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chteh2008:
Thanks for reply. Can you pm me where can download the epub that can display correctly chinese?

Appreciate if you can provide me the download link.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tieuphi:
The epub file can be opened as zip. You can extract its content, then you will have some files. Now you will do some steps:

1. open "stylesheet.css"

add below code at the end of file:

@font-face {

font-style: italic;

font-family: 'Liberation', serif, sans-serif;

font-weight: normal;

src: url(FreeSerifItalic.ttf);

}

@font-face {

font-style: normal;

font-family: 'Liberation', serif, sans-serif;

font-weight: normal;

src: url(FreeSerif.ttf);

}

@font-face {

font-style: italic;

font-family: 'Liberation', serif, sans-serif;

font-weight: bold;

src: url(FreeSerifBoldItalic.ttf);

}

@font-face {

font-style: normal;

font-family: 'Liberation', serif, sans-serif;

font-weight: bold;

src: url(FreeSerifBold.ttf);

}

2. Open the "content.opf" (can use notepad or something like that, for me, I use editplus), add code:

<item href="FreeSerif.ttf" media-type="application/octet-stream" id="id1"/>

<item href="FreeSerifItalic.ttf" media-type="application/octet-stream" id="id2"/>

<item href="FreeSerifBoldItalic.ttf" media-type="application/octet-stream" id="id3"/>

<item href="FreeSerifBold.ttf" media-type="application/octet-stream" id="id4"/>

3. Copy 4 fonts to the root of epub (same folder as contect.opf and Stylesheet.css)

Here, I use 4 fonts for displaying Vietnamese, include: FreeSerif.ttf, FreeSerifItalic.ttf, FreSerifBoldItalic.ttf, FreeSerifBol.ttf, so if you want to display another language like Chinese, use can replace 4 fonts above with others.

I attach an epub that I modified for displaying Vietnamese correctly. You can open my epub with Winzip and view 2 files: Stylesheet.css and contect.opf to see that.

This way will make the epub file larger (cause of including more fonts embed), but I have not found another way to display Vietnamese or Chinese on HTC Reader.

My English may be not good :D. I will upload the guide video later.

p/s: this is something I read from a forum but I can't remember the website. Hope someone will find other ways to display Unicode on HTC Reader :)

Here is my epub with fonts embed Download ample epub
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Sian:
Hi

Can this reader or Freda display chinese book in the traditional verticle right to left scrolling manner?

Anyone know what free reader out there do so?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] poiuyasdfg:
in this case maybe you need to change your region setting to chinese simple (in the Configuration/System/Region) to diaplay asian characters.

the same problem comes with music player of HTC sense. if your region setting isn't chinese simple, the player can't display MP3's tag (ID3v1) which written by chinese simple, all those characters will be replaced by some symbo.

the cause maybe is HTC sense use system region setting to interpret text which is coded by ASCII (that's why just music player and reader, they are components of HTC sense), so if your region setting is US but you have some asian characters which coded in ASCII need to display in HTC sense, you might meet some problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jim Chapman:
Freda cannot do this - it will display Chinese text in the same way it does Latin text (i.e. starting with the first line at the top of the page with each line of text running left-to-right). Implementing traditional Chinese layout would be quite complex (but if anyone wants to do it, they are free to do so - the code is Open Source (GPL2), and there's a download link in the manual).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] torred:
Does anyone know if AT&T still has fuze for insurance exchange or do they use another phone like the tilt 2 ?

Is there a deductible?

Have not use that service yet.

I want to upgrade but I'm waiting for some of the newer phones to arrive so I figured Tilt 2 might hold me over.

Or is there another way to do this.

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theomni:
if you've signed up for insurance on it, then they'll replace your phone with a new or refurbished fuze for a $125 deductible.

edit: They'll only upgrade you if its time for your upgrade, however you're gonna have to pay for that phone normally like you did when signing a contract.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] cardriver:
your going to get a fuze back. i lost mine and had to pay. kinda wish i didnt but i did get a refurb fuze back
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
Do we have any idea how to fix this? I've had problems on literally every 2.1 ROM tried so far. This includes DamageControl 9999 and v1, DarchStar, DarchLegend v2, Toast/Flipz 2.01

Basically (and Gbhil has verified this as well) the network location isn't functioning properly. For example, I am in a suburb of Kansas City, and my location shows on EVERY SINGLE 2.1 ROM as Overland Park, which is over 30 minutes away from me.

GPS will work properly, but this messes up literally every location based app, including my own I'm developing, which grabs your location and does some other stuff with it (which I can't divulge at the moment, ha)

I am literally floored that there aren't more people reporting this. It's not always messed up, I'd say 80-90% of the time it shows as off.

Any devs or others have any idea as to why this is?

Is this a "basically we have to wait for the Sprint 2.1 ROM to come out" issue? Thanks!
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
Mine's better than it was in 1.5!

It shows that I'm in Sugar land, but in 1.5 when I went to school it showed I was in Richmond.
[Hero CDMA General] orris:
I went out of town recently and I had to refresh it like 5 times to get it to show up. I think it was changed to help battery life. Not really a big thing to me. I just have the location saved as the second spot so I can check if it doesn't want to refresh.
[Hero CDMA General] jmxp69:
I can't explain your issue, but location services with GPS off on DC1.0 with my phone is dead nuts accurate. Puts the blue dot directly over my house. I haven't tried it outside the house yet. I'll report back when I do.

J

Edit: I tried network based location at three different locations around town today and it worked flawlessly every time. I'm hoping Sprint never decides to target me with a smart bomb using GPS--if they do, I'm a gonner. :P
[Hero CDMA General] mcfarlan:
There is actually quite a bit written about this but no sure fix that I have found. Location works fine for me in Maps but in everything else it is way off in a weird way. At home it shows my location as 200+ miles away. At work, which is only 8 miles from my house, by location is shown some 30 miles away. You are right. It is only on the 2.1 Roms so I use Beautiful Home or Weather Widget both of which allow me to at least specify my weather address.
[Hero CDMA General] dwertz:
I am having the same issue. Its about 20 miles off. I do have a Airwave at home, but I unplugged it and still same thing after doing a refresh. When I go city to city it changes but for some reason I think it is 20 south of my location so when I do switch cities, it would be correct 20 miles south. With that said, my actually GPS for gmaps is dead on target.
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
it seems to me that its mainly the application being used that makes the location inaccurate..or is that just me?
[Hero CDMA General] superlinkx:
Mine has not had any issues so far. Better than ever. I'm using DamageControl v1 with the new radio.
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
i'm using the exact same thing.. works well for me.
[Hero CDMA General] crunchybutternut:
ditto. Same thing here and no issues with network location.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
See, and the inconsistency bothers me too. It should really be broken for everyone, not just a few of us.

GPS is fine, but with network, it's definitely broken. Weird, I guess I'll wait for the Sprint ROM versions.

I bet you it has something to do with us not having something from Sprint in these releases.
[Hero CDMA General] acm2117:
no issues here with darchdroid
[Hero CDMA General] wcgbmd:
Download a rom like DarchDroid(people don't seem to get errors with it), extract the .zip and browse through the apps on the rom, find LocationPicker.apk and LocationService.apk(With their odex files) and push them to your phone from recovery, delete dalvik cache and boot cache and reboot your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] kellybrf:
mines usually, but not always, accurate. hows that for inconsistancy?
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
in 1.5 i shut location off unless i have to use my gps I-GO app. location seems to drain the battery.
[Hero CDMA General] bitbang3r:
Coarse (network-based) location seems to usually work fine for me (running DC1.0). I say 'usually', because once in a while it will decide I'm in the Atlantic Ocean ~20 miles east of Miami instead of western Broward County (~10 miles west of the beach)... but I've ALWAYS had that problem, even with stock 1.5.

Has anyone noticed a correlation between tower density, signal strength, and accuracy? If the worst inaccuracies are noticed in fringe suburban areas (where you might be lucky to have a single good tower signal, let alone 3+), that might explain it. The 2.1 algorithm might work better (or at least use less power) in urban areas, but fail more often in fringe areas. This might also be more of an issue with Sprint, because Sprint's network tends to be slightly less robust in fringe areas than Verizon's.

Out of curiosity, is the algorithm known to "cheat" if you're in a fringe rural area where the service is primarily along a single major corridor (like I-75 through the Everglades, or the Turnpike halfway between Orlando and Fort Pierce), and automatically limit its estimates to locations physically along that road?
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
Mine seems to work fine, at least with the weather widget. I'll double check tomorrow when I drive 150 miles west, and see if it still updates. Even 1.5 wasn't all that good at updating my location without me refreshing.

I do know that my weather is wrong though. Still says it's cloudy here, and the only clouds are a good 50 miles north lol
[Hero CDMA General] mcfarlan:
Hmmm. flashed fresh-2.0b and also installed the new radio. With location setting and GPS on, I get the same location errors I mentioned earlier. With location setting set to '911 only' and GPS off, weather and browser location is accurate. I use GPS for Nav, but if I am not using it, this will work for me. Can anyone try with another 2.1 Rom and confirm if that works for them?
[Hero CDMA General] Deleted member 884763:
When I first installed 2.1 it was showing me in a different state. But when I flashed the new radio that fixed everything. Now it's only wrong if I'm home and connected to my Airave.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
Think you could do the same with the picker and service from the 1.5 roms? I always had perfect performance before moving to any of the 2.x roms. That's the exact moment when it started happening. I can switch back to a nandroid backup of 1.5 and it runs just fine too. Still kinda baffled at all of this.

hi i really want to try this and would love it if someone can help me calibrate it right... it loads up just fine but after clicking the android symbol it wont click anymore... it runs fine when i get a text message and the keyboard works just fine also... :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] mbg19:
Who made this? or where did you find it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nemo0405:
its from the Touch HD... i replaced the startup file with the Rhodium one but cant get it to calibrate properly...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Broman400:
Well, you understand its not going to work at all. Why not just stick to the Rhodium builds, because the HD and Touch Pro 2 ARE 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PHONES.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] nemo0405:
lol thanks... i jsut thought since it booted up properly that someone could get it to work :) thnkx
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Xodium:
The current GSM Rhodium build (In Reefer's thread) is Android 2.1. Doesn't have any of the Nexus One stuff (Like the App grid), but it is 2.1.

At least that's what my Rhodium reports it as.

its 2.01 but for some reason in android it says 2.1....2.1 looks completely diff than the one in reefs thread
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Vlastimil91:
Please, when will that Android will be usable? It is still wrong with calibrated display.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bluazul:
I'm rooted with Zefie's 14.3, in large part to help with battery life. I've followed all the directions I've found for battery life, including deleting everything I don't use, turning off wireless connections, and slowing down the Exchange server connections. I was still struggling to get through a day, so today I downloaded SetCPU, but it hasn't seemed to make a difference, so I'm wondering what settings others use.

I'm currently using ondemand CPU Governor, with max of 400 MHz and Powersave Bias of 700. One of my profiles is Sleep/Standby, which uses the conservative governor and a max of 133 MHz. Any suggestions?

Also, I've heard EDGE uses the battery faster than WiFi data. Is that true? If I have the option, which is better for the battery?
