Sorry, that came out wrong, what I meant is that it is set to switch, but if you have a 3g connection available, it will default to that. The CDMA only will give 3G when available, and no internet otherwise.
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
There is no sprint 4G, despite their advertisements. 4G is not yet standardized, so claiming it is definitely jumping the gun.

There is also no indication of what some future unknown devices will have in terms of radios. It is very likely that when 4G comes out, ***IF*** it requires a separate radio from 3G (which is may not), that those devices will lack any pre-3G backwards compatibility (or possibly even be 4G-only). You simply don't see ANALOG CELL PHONES any more. At some point, the old stuff gets thrown out.

Note: What sprint is advertising as "4G" is WIMAX.
[G1 Android Development] mackster248:
So WCDMA ONLY would be the best overall choice?
[G1 Android Development] MoseIlla:
Only if you have a very consistent 3g connection. You'll lose your connection otherwise.
[G1 Android Development] the_fish:
Well that is strange, i changed to gsm only and i am not able to send texts anymore. Even if i switch back the options it won't work at all, if i send a text i just get "Message not sent" immediatelly.
[G1 Android Development] sunsean:
I'm running an eclair rom. And I live in NYC, so 3g is pretty much everywhere. So, would I get a boost in battery performance by selecting "WCDMA only" vs. "WCDMA preferred" (which is the default setting)?
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
yes u will... if ur in nyc, ur best bet is wcdma only... thats what works for me...

i have 81% battery right now... n its been up for 13 hours..(nexus one).

and if you are travelling or if u know that the are u r in does not have good reception, u should choose gsm only, that way ur phone will stop trying to search for 3g and thus, no battery drain.

and if ur battery is low like at 30% or something, u can just keep it on gsm only, to get lonnnnnng battery time with that 30%....

this way we can get the most out of our batteries!
[G1 Android Development] sunsean:
Cool. Well I did it and selected "wcdma only" - let's give it some time and see what it does to my battery life. I'm on a mt3g running a rom that eats through battery, so every little bit helps ;)
[G1 Android Development] rynosaur:
Something is vermischt in your APN settings, switching the radio preference must have disconnected you from your SMS/MMS server. Have a nandroid/bart backup?
[G1 Android Development] sunsean:
Well, it's been a few hours, and my 'cell standby' percentage is even higher than it was before lol. Haven't rebooted yet though, so I'll do that and see if it helps. No harm in trying anyway, if I don't like it I'll set it back to default.
[G1 Android Development] Silent killer:
mmm, i need 3g but sometimes it's not available here and i use 2g.. what option should i select to have both?
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
when u kno u will get 3g in some area... choose wcdma only...

if u kno ull only get 2g, slelct gsm only...

and if u want both gsm/cdma ... but this will afect battery
[G1 Android Development] Jeffro64:
Mine was 41% before and now 3 hours later after rebooting it is 50%... But it is switching between 3g and H alot just like it was before, I just don't see Edge anymore. I set it from WCDMA Pref. to WCDMA Only and thats the results I got, but my battery seems to be in the same spot it was when I did it.
[G1 Android Development] jonze5:
isnt h and 3g same thing?
[G1 Android Development] fleity:
i thought so too (H=3G)

anyway i don't use 3G/Edge/HSDPA or any internet connection (except Wifi) at the moment so i changed the setting from wcdma pref. to gsm. though i already cleared the apn field so the phone could not connect at all, activated that "only 2g networks" box etc etc i still have the feeling the battery does last longer
[G1 Android Development] sunsean:
Well, I'm going to switch it back to the default setting. Been about 24 hours, and my battery is draining faster than ever lol. BTW as a reminder, I chose the setting 'wcdma only' as I live in NYC. Have had a steady constant, uninterrupted 3g signal, but my 'cell standby' is at 51%. The default CAN'T be worse than that (in fact it was better, 31% last time I checked) so back to default I go. Cheers for the idea though.

EDIT: Looked at the wrong percentage, my 'time without signal' % is actually only 2% :) But battery is still draining fast lol.
[G1 Android Development] protomanez:
Didnt do a thing when I went to GSM only.
[G1 Android Development] sparksco:
This was a big waste of time for me, this is absolutly useless to me on my g1
[G1 Android Development] opasha:
Let me put it to all of you simply. 3G will kill your battery. When you choose WCDMA ONLY- that just means 3G only and that will kill your battery even faster. The only way to get great battery is to choose 2G only so just use the preference in your settings or leave it as WCDMA Preferred. WCDMA Preferred is the standard and will last much longer than the WCDMA Only because what they told you in this thread and the other thread is a load of bull shi*. I constantly test roms for battery life being the highest priority followed by speed/stability. I tested back and forth with this stupid idea and it is just a placebo effect trying to get inside of your heads. It's common sense ladies and gentleman :). 3G is not good for battery. The longer you keep it on the faster it will drain. Anything that forces your phone to work harder (gps, wifi, picking up higher download/upload speeds) will cause faster drain. Same deal with most electronics- EVEN YOUR CAR BATTERY!. When you drift into Edge where 3G is lost, that is good for you. It is also better for you rather than losing your service to beginwith. Even if you get 3G everywhere, staying on 3G in the WCDMA Preferred option will still last you longer. Just my two cents. If anyone else wants to waste time trying it, be my guest. I just did the work that many of the people who post in here don't do, and that is to give feedback after a lot of testing. It's like taking a drug and people giving the false testimonials for it just to make you buy it and think it is helping. First few days you are like hell yeah this stuff works, but then later you realize that was just your own brain playing tricks on you AKA the placebo effect.

have a nice day... i meant no harm, just productive feedback :)

ps: i use a 1700 MAH battery....in case you were doubting my importance to battery life ;)
[G1 Android Development] shawayne21:
isn't going to mobile networks and pressing ' use only 2g networks ' the same?
[G1 Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
gonna have to give this a try, my bat life sucks!
[G1 Android Development] mdneilson:
Thanks, I will vote in a couple days.
[G1 Android Development] K0v4L:
Sounds good but what the difference between this and simply switching 2g/3g in mobile network settings ? If you will choose 2g there, you will get gsm only and slow data speed all the time. And now if you have 30% out of signal and choose wcdma or cdma only in test settings then you'll be 30% of time without any signal, cuz I understand that if you have 30% out of signal then there is no 3g signal in that time and phone is starting to switch beetwen transmission modes from 3g to normal gsm. Gsm signal is everywhere now.(mostly)
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
Agreed... if you are on a area with no 3G you'll end up with No Signal:(

there are some roms that dont have the 2G only option, in this case you can create a short cut to "Phone Info" using "better cut" or "any Cut" to your home screen instead o dialing the *#*#number

I used this trick since JF (since I rooted my G1)
[G1 Android Development] TonyDeez:
Does disabling APNs with APNdroid not help at all?
[G1 Android Development] juangil:
of course it helps cuz you are not using data connection
[G1 Android Development] sitinon327:
If you want access to this menu at ANY TIME, download "Bar Control" from the market. Once the app list loads, select "phone info", then select your icon of choice. You will now be able to activate the "GSM only" , "WCDMA only" or whichever option you like best at any time by pulling down the notification menu. I've been using this for the last 6-8 months and it works on stock 1.6 as well as Cyanogen and Super E Roms.
[G1 Android Development] iphear:
is it wierd that i turned 2g on then changed settings to wmcda only and now i got constant h ? im gsm btw
[HD2 General] vorza:
I have HD2 since 2 months ago and it worked perfectly till a few days ago when the screen appears with some strange colors, not the normal ones. The touch screen works perfectly and the phone works ok. It's just that the colours are different from the original ones. Then after a few minutes or so it comes back to normal.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help.
[HD2 General] powerslave69:
did it fell off the ground before ?
[HD2 General] vorza:
nope, never felt down

[HD2 General] powerslave69:
maybe your LCD flexband/cable is not tight fit in the slot..under the lcd-glass

had that before with sony cellphone

i would take it to service if you dont want to loose warranty.

[HD2 General] xiis:
Last year I had same problem happen to my laptop.

yes, I a agree powerslave69 :D

After receiving back my Laptop from repair's (manufacture). A week later your problem came about. It was discovered by manufacture on return that the 'Wire Tape' connection was lose at one end between graphics card and screen. So when the Laptop was first repaired it was overlooked that the connection not right when the manufacture put it back together.

Best to send It back right now and they should replace it with a new one

Problem gone !! ;)
[HD2 General] Babylonian:
Had the same (I think) problem. The colours on the screen went "blurry" & lost it's sharpness. Took it to service and they just re-flashed it with the newest ROM. Don't think that's the right solution to the problem though... :(
[HD2 General] vorza:
i already tried to flash it with the newst rom available on htc web site but it didn't work.

I brought the phone to the service. I'll let you know.

Thank you.
[HD2 General] xnmb:
just curious, did you happen to have a custom rom with 576MB of ram enabled?

see this thread h t t p : / / xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677979
[HD2 General] vorza:
no, it's the original rom. never applied a custom rom
[HD2 General] richo27:
Did you get this sorted out?

I think im having the same problem, since about a week ago i get horizontal bands of discolouration across the screen, at first it seemed to only affect Sense, but now any program running shows these bands of colour (like a purple colour band across the screen). Sometimes it is fine but now seems to be mostly like this.

Still on the original ROM...
[HD2 General] pack21:
i have the same bands descoloration, the green tends to blue, i have to yellow bands, and text caracters in black screen comes yellow.

i was with Android froyo in miri ROM V17, i flash a few times the same miri v17 and radio 5.12.....

the problem is that I'm in hollidays for a month, and just have those rom and radio, that i flash via storage card.....because I'm with a macbook without WIndows switcher.

i thought goes to a cibercafe to try another rom.

What did you thing it is? what could i do?

please have merce, and help me.

i just have a few megabits in my plan data, to search a solution.

thanks by advance
[HD2 General] pack21:
No need more help, i have solve the screen issue.
[HD2 General] richo27:
so what was the solution?

Mine is ok now, went away by itself, but the problem pops up every now and then.
[HD2 General] pack21:
dont solve anythink, the issues continue....like yours...sometimes less sometimes mucher.
[HD2 General] ayla01:
Has anyone sorted out this issue ?? Cos now mine is having the same problems...

I have checked around on other forums and no one seems to have the problem.

oh, and my HD2 is out of warranty, so I hope it won't cost a fortune if ihave to get it fixed....
[HD2 General] accountabc:
Sorry for digging up an old thread but:

another one with strange colors over here. White is whit, black is black, but green, red and blue look a lot "paler". The colors are much less vibrant then they used to be.

The backlight of my hardware powerkey stopped working a thesame time. Other hardware buttons are fine...

question is.. will this get fixed under warranty? Anyone had thesame issue and sent his phone out to be repaired?
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
same problem now and then...someone help :(:(

if i apply a little preassure near the bessels or the usb port...screen becomes normal but you can never say when the problem might appear again...help !:(:(
[HD2 General] pvii:
Seems like a loose contact on display ribbon cable. It happens after caring the phone long time in pockets usually in the summer when it's hot and sweat can enter in the phone. Contacts don't like moisture, in special sweat, it's corrosive. In addition, when caried in back pockets it will be slightly deformed and it is the second cause of that failure.
[HD2 General] ericjennings:
Strange colors on HD2 screen

I had a similar problem a while ago, horizontal green/yellow bands across the screen. At first it was intermittent but then became permanent. I had to send it back to HTC for a fix.
[HD2 General] accountabc:
it seems to be intermittent for me aswell. My screen is now back to normal. Let's see how long it'll stay that way...

backlight of powerkey is still not working properly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Last night it worked for a while, but I haven't seen it on today. But I'm quite sure that it will work if I were to send it to Htc to be repaired...

:(
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
if you talk to the HTC people regarding sending the phone to them and all the costs involved...please let me know !!!
[HD2 General] stktd:
having same type of problems, colors are flickering like crazy! iv tryed going back to winmo, task 29, everything but removing hspl, and problem remains the same, phone even locks up resulting in a battery pull witch its not done since the old sd builds, this all started a day after i droped it 2-3 feet.

i am sending it off under warranty but not holding my breath as it now 15 months old has plenty of ware n tare marks and now impact marks around edges, but will post what happend when i know.
[HD2 General] accountabc:
My screen has been OK for the last 3 days. *knock on wood*. I did chat with a HTC guy, but he couldn't tell me if it could be repaired under warranty (as was to be expected...)
[HD2 General] backlashsid:
hmmm....ic !! any other info he gave ?
[HD2 General] lavender1978:
I had this same problem with the strange yellow screen and read on some other forum that you're supposed to "flex" the phone. So I bended my phone a little (the top and bottom backwards, be careful the screen also has glass in it) to try to get a bit of a curve in it and by god ...it worked!!!!! The screen flickered and then the yellow screen was gone!!! I'm so glad because I mailed Htc two days earlier and I still don't have a response from them. I hope it works for you :)
[HD2 General] gotovamsee:
Thats true.... it worked for me tooo. But not so permanent fix it appeared again in minutes.

I've come across three Apps so far that prevent me backing them up using ASTRO:

1. Contact2Sim Pro - This is a Paid App but one I paid good money for!

2. History Eraser - It's Free! Why bother to copy protect it?

3. Raging Thunder Lite - Also free

Is there any way to still back these up? Or do you have to Root? Thanks
[Desire General] al89nut:
I don't think you have to. The Market remembers what you've downloaded if you factory reset, even if you don't back up the apps. You might need to actually remember what they are (downloads should tell you, but if you back up and then reinstall from the card, it won't remember them)
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks.

I prefer having a physical copy of the file though. Sure it's still likely to be there, if I need to reinstall it but I cannot guarantee this. If I've got the APK file, I know for sure I'll be able to reinstall it.

[Desire General] tsaxda:
I'm curious to know if there's a way too.

Amo navi-x which I paid for is copy protected, & it has an update, but I'm generally careful not to update apps without knowing I can roll back to the previous version if there's a problem with the update. I'm using an unrooted samsung stratosphere with appmonster pro & my backup pro. I understand their reasons for copy-protecting it to prevent piracy, but it makes it risky to update. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
[Desire General] spudata:
Use ESfile explorer to backup the apk to your SD card.
[Desire General] tsaxda:
that requires root.

copying it to sd through a file browser requires rooting, which is very difficult to do on the samsung stratosphere, because the bootloader is designed to not load if a non-stock rom is detected.

Can you make this one full?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Six6Sicks:

2. If they look better in landscape. Movie animations will be landscape since they are mostly 16:9 and making them fullscreen in portrait will look like chit.

I am able to hide and show this window in the Windows section of dotfred's Task Manager, so I assume that this is possible.

Minimize in Mortscript produces no effect.

A way to accomplish this using Mortscripts Send/PostMessage functions would be preferable if possible as I've never written any native WinMo code. However if that is the only way...

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Have you tried emulating the Cancel button? Try SendSpecial("F4")
