So, this is from c... on google code. If someone can throw this into a ROM I would be so excited. This has been my biggest gripe with android. I am no coder, but I've been pressuring google for a while.

His reply with the fix is at the bottom.

Anyone wanna put this in a future rom?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sablesurfer:
Anyone managed to get this into a ROM? My Evo is a week old and only today I learn that it does not support the animated Radar from my favorite weather web page.

The result of this was riding the motorcycle through an downpour because I could not get a good fix on where the storm was headed.

I use animated gif radar for things like...oh say...tornado storms and such since I live in tornado alley. Google's response about memory is crap. My little Raphael has run this animated radar since I got is over a year ago and it is half what my new Evo is. This is a HUGE issue for me as my goal with phones is a traveling package...phone/gps/weather(internet)/and snapshot camera.

The Raphael did all that, but started to die and was so tiny a screen. Cannot believe Evo/Android cannot do this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] generic.imitation:
they said that animated gifs would be supported in froyo.

I have an incredible, but am upgrading to a droid x on the 15th because of problems with my phone. rumors are circulating that it might ship with froyo.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sablesurfer:
Yeah...but not sure I am up for customizing this phone...and waiting for Sprint/HTC to push out is...well like waiting on the lotto. They don't do things the way we users would want.

[HD2 General] shiltz:
Tried getting an answer on t-mobile's forums but it seems mostly people *****ing or having no clue about anything so couldn't get a straight answer and thought someone might know here.

I heard someone say wifi tethering is fine, but if you USB tethering and use more than 100mb they charge an insane per mb fee, does anyone know if that's true?

I just would rather be able to use USB because i've noticed the wifi on it (at least with the t-mobile US rom) is horrible and has issues holding a connection often even when a foot away from the computer connecting and I also noticed while HTC's wifi router is running the phone itself has no internet access and won't download emails, etc which is very annoying, but window mobile's internet sharing tool doesn't have that issue.
[HD2 General] BlackElvis79:
I use USB tether on a daily basis, and have been for at least the past six months. I just started using the feature on my Leo, but I've been with T-Mobile for over a year now and been tethering on a MT3G and Nexus One. I'm 100% certain that I've gone waaaay over 100MB, but I have never seen any additional charges on my bill because of data usage.

Edit: Actually, after thinking about it...each Leo ROM is over 100mb soo... :D
[HD2 General] shiltz:
great! thanks, tethering has been my biggest concern switching to t-mobile with them lacking any official tethering plan, I don't mind paying for it if they offered it and did on at&t, just so long as I can do it averaged 4gb on at&t.

now if only the radios on the stock rom weren't so bad, and I'm kind off leary on the whole rom flashing thing.
[HD2 General] Thraka:
I wouldn't be too leary on flashing. I was a bit when I first did it with my first phone. But I did a lot of reading, double/tripple checking. With the HD2, I'm just giving it enough bake time so people work out any kinks in flashing first.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
id be really interested in how they could tell the difference.
[HD2 General] sleepwalkers:
With an unlimited data plan, almost all US carriers kind of turn a blind eye to tethering (or suspected tethering) as long as you stay under the technical data cap (~3-5GB for the US carriers, I think 5GB for TMo).

I've tethered my MT3G with T-Mo for a long time, using nearly 1GB in a day as a wifi router for friends in an apartment, and heard absolutely nothing from TMo.
[HD2 General] shiltz:
Well I did try once with my Fuze unsucessfully and worried to try it and brick my HD2 because i've found the instructions i've seen on here not very clear, like I know there was one program it said to flash before flashing rom's but it was only for certain roms and none of the roms seemed to indicate which was the proper way to flash that specific rom :/

Well I know when I had my HTC Fuze on AT&T when I would tether the phone it showed 2 different active data connection, I belive one was called internet and one data, though I don't see that on T-mobile, just have internet so maybe they can't, just kind of want to be sure and not get some crazy bill.
[HD2 General] danog:
I'm also not worried about a limit or being charged for it, but was hoping for faster connection speed with TMo. Averaging 800kbps 2 days after receiving my HD2, about equal to my omnia with verizon.

Havent readup on it much yet, but is the 7mbps a TMo rarity?

And I too plan on flashing a ROM, trying to wait...
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
Anyone have a cab to add the USB internet sharing to the menu that pops up when I connect to USB on my computer? It only shows 2 options, and on custom roms it shows internet sharing. Also has anyone found a cab to add the WIFI Router to the Sense Wireless Settings menu? Thanks
[HD2 General] mingkee:
I have been tethering for almost 7 years with T-Mobile.

The OP stated 100MB may refer the original web2go thing. The truth is: you'll be upgraded to smartphone data once you go over 100MB, but it's never enforced.

To tether with HD2, you need to use internet sharing in tools sub-menu. T-Mobile Data or Internet doesn't really matter.

It's said there's a 10GB softcap and you're throttled thereafter till the next billing cycle, but I don't hear anybody (including myself) got hit yet.

You can tether, just use it sparingly. It's not your home internet replacement.
[HD2 General] agentaaron:
When I went into the store an got my HD2 at launch, The sales rep and I were talking about tethering...he said that he tethers all the time on his rooted Nexus and now on his demo HD2 that he was given. He said that he has never run into a problem and has never heard of any customers having an issue with billing. He said that he uses anywhere up to 3-4gigs a month and personally I have never even come close to that. As the quoted poster put it "It's not your home internet replacement" so don't use it as such...

...he did say that they know when you do it though which is a bit concerning...and if you call customer care with a problem concerning tethering, they will not assist you.

...the first rule about tethering, you don't talk about tethering...
[HD2 General] danog:
lmao!

and I gotta remember my days of 14.4kbps tethering with sprint (tarred and feathered for talking about it back then) and be dang happy with 800kbps!... its stupid FIOS in our home making me think 7mbps is subpar.
[HD2 General] mcs117:
I asked Customer care and they were quite helpful. I have the legacy data plan for all windows mobile phones. The plan is 19.99, but is grandfathered into the newer data plans that are going at 34.99. Now, for my plan at least, they told me I have a 10GB bandwidth limit and can use the 3G network as well as tethering is supported. I consider myself absolutely lucky with that data plan. And from what I heard, if you hit your limit, you will be dropped off the 3G network and will run on the EDGE until your limit gets resetted.
[HD2 General] jasecloud4:
Man, what I wouldn't give to be those guys in Philly playing with HSPA+ right not...it could easily replace my home broadband...
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
I don't know if this is what you were looking for but I attached the wifi router cab for you.
[HD2 General] noellenchris:
Thanks, but I was looking for the Manila Settings Tab - Wireless, where it shows the Wifi Sharing. It's probably cooked in some roms that I used in the past...
[HD2 General] me:
I did a search for HD2 tether, and came up with this thread. I don't see my question answered in it though, although I may have missed it, or somewhere else.

My question has nothing to do with whether T-Mobile allows it or not. I have tethered for years on T-Mo (with other phones), with no problem.

My question is simple and basic--How to tether on the HD2?

Since this thread is about USB tethering, my question here could simply be about how to USB tether, although I would also like to find out the best way to Bluetooth tether. (I read something about wi-fi tether in this thread, and have no idea what is meant by that.)

For USB tethering, I assume a driver is needed, for the computer to see the phone connected via USB as a modem. In fact, I probably have an HTC USB driver from previous HTC phones I had, like the MDA (and even the Audiovox SMT5600), but I don't know if there is a newer driver more suited for the HD2. Where does one get the USB modem driver for this phone?

For BT tethering, I think there are two ways-Dial-Up-Networking, and a newer way, I think ICS. I have only used DUN before. I think I might have read that the other way is better though. Is there a thread I missed, with a guide to BT tethering with the HD2?

Thank you for your input.

[HD2 General] jimbonics:
And it has indeed replaced my home internet. Pings suck for games, but other than that, it's completely serviceable.

The way if was explained to me by TMO folks, is you essentially have an uncapped bandwidth limit. However, once they see you hit 5gigs for the month, they will throttle you down somewhat.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
As far as tethering goes, TMO is probably one of the friendliest towards it in the US. Just don't call into 611 asking for support or how to tether, they wont throw you under the bus and start billing you extra, but they just don't officially support it, you might get a rep in a good mood and willing to help though

I've been tethering for at least 6 years on TMO, started with a seirra wireless GPRS aircard then upgraded to an EDGE card. I would swap my SIM out of my phone when using the card. technically not tethering i guess, but then I got a Samsung phone that supported bluetooth and always tethered with it to my laptop and winmobile PDA
[HD2 General] me:
Yes, I have done it for years too, with no problem from T-Mobile, even when I used to be on T-Zones only.

My question was technical, regarding how to do it with the HD2.

Thanks for the link, Jimbonics, regarding how to do it via USB. I guess one does not need to install an HTC USB modem driver, as with earlier models.

I would guess one could do the same as described there via Bluetooth. Do a BT ActiveSync connection, and choose that same connection sharing.

Of course with BT, there is also DUN. (Probably a way to do that with USB as well, but might require a driver.) Which works better--ICS or DUN.

I read about a new way to tether with the HD2 as well, besides USB and BT--Wi-fi. I have never heard of wi-fi tethering before. Which worls better for wireless tethering with the HD2 (not counting USB)--BT or Wi-Fi?
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
IMO WiFi would always beat out BT.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
+1

Yes, the wifi tethering option on the HD2 would be faster than BT, but slower than USB (though much more convenient of course).
[HD2 General] smokeingit:
i use USB tethering every day and always go over 5g's every month on data, they never change me more. the only thing that sucks is that they stick you on edge after you hit the 5 gig mark. i play world of warcraft at work and i get terrible lag once they force me on edge.
[HD2 General] me:
Still curious--does anyone use DUN to connect USB or BT, or is ICS the only way to go for that?

Why would the wi-fi tethering be faster?

There is supposed to be an app in the start menu called "Wi-fi router", but I cannot find it. Where is the actual executable file located, and what is it called?

(I believe I read some posts though, that when some folks used that wi-fi router app, it screwed up their regular wi-fi. Is that a common problem?)
[HD2 General] jimbonics:
Tethered wouldn't nec. be faster[/] than wifi, but it will be more reliable in terms of dropped packets.

WiFi Router app was left out of the stock software for the US version.

Yeah, the one cab I tried (dont recall the name), screwed my home wifi up so bad my wired connection went kaput on my desktop the second i activated it. So.. for me... that was that. I just use the cable now.
[HD2 General] me:
Well, depending where you are, it often might be more convenient not to have to connect the phone to the computer with a cable. If there are problems with the wi-fi router thing, then probably better to use BT when not convenient to use a cable.

Still wondering if anyone uses DUN for BT and USB tethering, rather than ICS. This is the first time I have used ICS with a phone, and I find it less convenient, although I may not know all the ways to do it. With the cable, I connect it, choose ActiveSync connection (rather than fast disk, or whatever it is called). Then I have to open the ICS app on the phone, and choose connect. Often I don't get a good connection, have to disconnect and connect again, etc.

Whereas when I have used DUN to tether to other phones, didn't have to do anything on the phone to initiate the connection. After i had the connection set up, I put a shortcut to it in the Quick Launch bar of desktop Windows, and just one click on that icon on the laptop, without touching the phone, would start the tethered DUN connection, USB if so connected, otherwise Bluetooth. I found that simpler and quicker, once set up, than doing the ICS thing, which AFAIK has to be initiated on the phone. (With the DUN BT way, phone in pocket, one doesn't have to remove the phone from the pocket at all, just one click on the laptop.)

(Yes, more initial configuration required to set up a DUN connection. But after it is set up, quicker and simpler to connect, from what I can see.)

However, I don't know if DUN is even possible on the HD2, haven't seen any posts about it. If it is, what number do you dial with it-*99**what# (Usually something like that, but seems to vary by phone.)

If it will, then I'm buying one. SE really only has it's cybershot tech thats valuable in this phone. But I figure that rooting it will probably loose all that excellent photo-capture software, right? Before my G1, I had the SE k800i Cybershot phone that had amazing image capture abilities.

Wrong.

Why should it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wakeupkeo:
Figured that was so proprietary that the source files wouldn't be editable? because its so hardware-specific?

If I can keep hacking away at the X10 like I do with my G1 and get better camera stuff, and a snapdragon processor, then I'm in.

The only thing that would hold me back is the talk of Samsung's new phone having a processor that may be 3x as fast as snapdragon.

Now that 5.0 of the CM-Updater is ready, I have decided to adapt it to OpenEclair....

This is very easily done, but what i do need is artwork - not my strong point

If there is anyone out there who is arty and wants to contribute, let me know (you will be given cred).

This is exactly what i did with the cmupdater - with great results from Prash and Matt_Stang.....i am sure we could get similar results with some help from you guys

I have included a zip with everything we need an equivalent of

please submit in post form

thanks guys

[G1 Android Development] garok89:
something that goes with OE in general....android green anyone?

there was a green version of the CM logo floating around a while ago...that shade was lovely....

i think it is somewhere in the updater thread or in matt or prashs cm theme

Im a wee bit rusty on the pictures side of things but will give it a go (whats the logo for open eclair btw and main colours?)

as for the aranging them im not sure how to do that lol.

could do with a few pointers as the xml colour files etc.

I kept putting it off :(

Ill get this done for my AOSP build

thanks!

i take it you mean firefart? he made it really easy to adapt. check out the wiki on the cmupdater website - he wrote a little guide (although i am sure you would have no problem figuring it out)
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
love em, they are in ;)
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
tbh, i think it is only really check_now.png and icon.png that we need complete replacements for

i think i can change the colour palette in the rest to make em all green easily enough

EDIT: by that i mean....with the new background and loading images, we now only need those other two replaced (im getting good results making the existing ones green)
[G1 Android Development] RichieDaze:
I made some custom buttons for this updater. They match perfectly with both sets of posted backgrounds. Will upload them soon. I think custom is better then edited buttons, but your the boss! Lol
[G1 Android Development] periferral:
Here are some icons that are complete. If you'd rather just recolor to existing ones and update the 2 icons, I can do that in the other style too.
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
they look much better than the greenified ones i did

il stick em in soon and see how it all comes together
[G1 Android Development] garok89:
can you email me any icons you do at cmupdater@gmail.com please?

thanks

Hi,

I know that the Iphone 3GS has ARM 600 MHz processor and the HERO has a Qualcomm MSM7200A 528 Mhz process.

But what really is the difference between them??

Why don't we have more games running on android as apple for Iphone?

If we had iphone games on android from the best one s would it work on HERO?

I know that Iphone s games are more developped cause apple is older but the games for android are so rubbish for most of them.

In fact, I had two questions in one

1. processor differences hero VS Iphone 3GS

2. available and quality games differences ANDROID (Hero) VS Apple (Iphone 3GS)

THX A LOT GUYZ!
