Hello,

I'm not sure what VPN are you using and how your routing table is altered by it.

I'm using OpenVPN (CyanogenMod-5.0.6-N1).

My OpenVPN server "pushes" default route to my android phone and alters my routing table.

Wether or not an application "leaves" the phone through the WiFi or VPN depends on your routing table.

If the VPN is set-up correctly, all the packets will go through the VPN and not the WiFi.

About the effects of the VPN, as long as the VPN "gives" you internet access, it shouldn't matter.

I'm tunneling all my internet traffic through that VPN.

About the latency, that depends... lets say your phone is A, your VPN is B and your destination is C

instead of going A -> C, you're going A -> B -> C, that will be the latency as well.

Say A->B is 5ms and B->C is 10ms, your A->C latency will be 15ms.

It's as simple as that.

Hope that helps,

Omri.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] forumsid987:
Thanks for that. I guess my final question is while I understand how to 'sum' the latency, do you notice that with a good VPN you still have some noticeable lag?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] omriil:
Cellular networks are laggy anyways (~100ms around here). A good VPN would add about ~10ms of latency, shouldn't really effect you.

I did an update on Set CPU and now my phone is in a boot loop? Has this happened to anyone else? I guess i'm going to move to another program for overclock.

Edit: Must be a different problem, this isn't it
[HD2 General] kennyb123:
I read that the Tmobile HD2 official ROM update included a much better version of Swype.

Is there any chance that this version has been ".cabbed up" by the XDA community yet? If so, can you link it?

If not, can someone work on it?

I don't want to re-flash my phone from the Energy ROM that I have running so well, but I'd love the better Swype version.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Yes, it has been cab'd and a search on this branch of the forum should find it easily enough, considering it was released only a day or so back.

But every report, even the one by the cab provider, suggest that the new version is crashing phones randomly, so whomever told you that it was "Improved" was misinformed.
[HD2 General] kennyb123:
That's very disappointing to hear. The only review I read said that it was faster on the special characters, had a bigger word library, and was generally more accurate. I guess it also has haptic feedback, as well.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll avoid it for now.

I have a TMO HD2 US version. I am running 32-bit Win7 Ultimate with WMDC 6.1 I can sync the phone with the bluetooth on. I could have the factory TMO usb attached it will charge but not recognize the device. I attempted to update the latest OEM ROM and it just got to the multi color bar screen.I have tried the device on several other pc's with no luck...Windows 7 32bit,XP SP3,no luck. What gives is there a way I can update without the usb cable? Any input would help. Thanks in advance.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Here is a link to my tutorial on how to flash via the SD Card.
[HD2 General] Paten:
Have you tried a different cable? If there is a problem with the phones USB connection, take it back and have it replaced.
[HD2 General] k20a1:
whenever you plug in the phone it comes up with 2 options to either connect via active sync or use as mass storage. could this be the problem? hope this helps
[HD2 General] K9Healer:
Thanks guys!

I am going to try another cable first...i traded my... need I say... iPhone for the HD2 that I have now. I must say its different.I am definitely not happy about the sync issue.MS,TMO both are claiming they have not had that issue. I doubt that TMo will repair or replace a second hand phone purchase. :-(
[HD2 General] otter5:
try restarting your computer and phone, I occasionally have this problem as well, that seems to fix it
[HD2 General] K9Healer:
It was the cable!!! The T-Mobile

The T-Mobile micro usb cable is JUST FOR Charging. I picked up a data/charge cable at Target for around $15.Problem solved. Many thanks for the replies.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
I use it just fine for data all the time on mine ;) I think you just happened to get a bum cable with a bad data pin connection somewhere....it's not unheard of with HTC devices.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
My cable works just fine for data and charging both. I didn't know that different types even existed :confused:

I'm heading to Target now to see if I can find an extra cable though, everywhere else is charging $19.99 and up (the Shack wanted $34.99!).

[HD2 General] rysky007:
I have the same problem, it used to give me the options to sync and view files, now out of now where nothing, just charges but computer wont see the phone.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Well I would say this is the best place to start then...

-Different USB port

-Different computer

-Different cable

If you had already done the first two, then it's obviously worth trying the last ;)
[HD2 General] rysky007:
Found the fix, not sure how it will work on Vista or 7, but on xp, if you have set on your phone to default always auto connect, you then have to manually activate the phone in driver details under properties of "mycomputer" then device manager

Hi just like to know how to change the lock screen wallpaper and is there any way to have both battery and time indications on the taskbar, it seems just one or the other...thanks!
[HD2 General] jsmccabe78:
if it is the stock lock screen (6.5), then yes for sure (don't have 6.5.x so can't say, but assume so). if it is cookies lockscreen...not yet.

settings > personalize > lock screen wallpaper

yes...there are many options floating around.

some can be found in this sticky thread or i like [url="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=612083]this one.[/url]

cheers.
[HD2 General] Zentury:
To change lockscreen wallpaper:

1) At the Home/Today screen, click on Start (top left hand corner)

2) Click on Settings icon

3) Click on Personalize bar

4) Click on "Lock screen wallpaper" option. Follow prompts from there.

For clock and battery display in the taskbar, I am using BattClock

Is there a way to remove the lock screen?

Is there a way to remove the lock screen? I hate doing the little slide thing. This is my first phone that has one and it looks cool and all but I have never, ever turned a phone on by accident. I'd rather it was like my old HTC and I could just hit the power button. :)

Well the things is that i have Black G1, and it has some scratches and also i got tired of the Black so i want White Housing, while looking at EBAY all i found was All White except for the Back Cover that was Silver, and the Keyboard Silver too, i want All White and Keyboard White with Grey and Green Keys, someone knows where i can get it ?
[G1 Accessories] erebusting:
Surprisingly I am currently looking into changing to white housing. I saw some on ebay which had a white back cover and all, but then again I do not think they are OEM and you may not be happy with their quality... as for the keyboard -I am not sure if I saw some with a white keyboard or not, but I am sure there is something out there.... maybe your best bet is to order an OEM white housing, then order the all white back cover on the side...?

How about the trackball? Are you going to get a white/clear trackball? or does the black G1 have that already...I know the bronze one has a black trackball...
[G1 Accessories] jmon777:
i found some cool housings by Googleing g1 housings but i have not found any key boards or buttons. and there was this site called cool colors or something like that would do it for you like 175$ but they dont do it for g1s anymore only bb and nexus 1 :(
[G1 Accessories] IOmega666:
thx for the answes guys .

What i want is ALL WHITE, but almost all Housing's are White but with Keyboard in Silver but keys in white with bronze the Symbols . So i found a white keyboard, with letters and numbers in some grey almost black and symbols in green . got to buy a only back cover in white, and try to get a non silver keyboard .

Its gonna cost much more than buying it all together but i want that colors D: so the only thing is, OEM no ? and if somebody knows some page where they sell housing, just post it plz .

Oh and the other thing is the Trackball, cuz i got it black D: gonna see if there is a white one on ebay or something .

PD : sry if i misspelled something, im from Argentina D:

[G1 Accessories] IOmega666:
too expensive :S 25U$S for only a Back Cover, Keyboard Cover and Front :S no buttons, no keyboard, and only 1 Screw .

Think im gonna go for one i saw in Ebay, 26U$S, Back, Front, Keyboard, Keys, and Screws, only thing that is left is Trackball .

Whenever i get those items, i will post what will happen xD
[G1 Accessories] Sistum Id:
If its from the eBayer seller ibestone, than I wouldn't buy from them.

I bought a full black and full white from them few months ago. The white keypad was QWERTZ while their listing showed QWERTY. The black LCD face didn't have the nutts in the housing but the white one did. The sellers solution was use fire to melt the old ones out and melt them in the new one. Also his solution for the QWERTZ keypad was either use the old one (which was bronze) learn and get used to QWERTZ or send it the whole thing back.

While his g1 housings came with everything except the screws, maybe its a different seller.
[G1 Accessories] erebusting:
I saw a lot of trackballs on ebay...they have different colors maybe you might want a clear / white one..then you could think like me and get a blue or red one ? or did you say you wanted a green keyboard or something ? then you can get a green trackball ...idk its up to you but I saw some on ebay...

I was going to do this then I just found a nice White G1 so I dont feel like taking it apart just yet....First thing I did after I bought it was order a white battery cover (lol)...I really would like an all white keyboard as well (like you stated) I find the key pads but not the key pad housing (only found that in non white colors) ...I can always paint it of course (but I would rather not go through that hassle).....
[G1 Accessories] Creamybrown:
Curious

Hey guys, i'm kinda curious as to how do I replace my housing for the g1?

The housing for my white g1, is chipped, and i'm thinking of getting a new red one, from true supplier.

Do i need to know how to open it? will there be a manual? I dont mind white keys, but the silver might plate might look odd with it. any advice?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Well title says it all I did a search on this and what is a deodex and it came up with a bunch of nonsense and not the answer.

Also got two other questions is a about the ruu. Okay so I know that we can make our own release keys and what not to make a ruu but can we (there's a mouse on my shoulder) change the name of an hboot so that it is higher than the previous one so that you could run it on top of any other. What I'm getting at is when we get an official update someone will try for days or weeks to root when if we had a "homemade" ruu signed with release keys and higher build than they come out with than no one would have to worry about attaining root on a new build.

last question for now if my phone is the same build with the same processor as a mytouch why can't I just run a mytouch ruu to get it to run on tmo.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
I can answer the last question.

T-Mo is GSM. Totally different radio hardware inside the phone.

An .odex file is an optimized dex file.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
see to me it doesn't make sense because we use the same towers as them but is it because the frequency maybe too much of a question

wwhat role does it play with the apk though. Actually why do some apks need it and others don't
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchstar:
an odex is an optimized dex file. tru. its used to not clutter the dalvik-cache with extracted classes.dex's from said apks. thus it saves more system space, and also decreases boot time because packagemanager doesn't need to scan dalvik-cache every boot for respective classes.dex
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
okay in a not so technical way their used to save space and speed up the application
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchstar:
i never said they speed up the application :p
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
So what's the down side?

Aside from having fewer files to deal with what do we gain by going to the trouble of deodexing?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchstar:
the ability to modify framework dex's without borking your system. thats all. imo, odex'ing roms are the way to go. the only reason i don't is because a lot (not all) of the "devs" on these forums are really only extensive themers and they like to change font colors :p
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
So alot of this is greek to me but would an odex file change the way someone themes a rom (instead of the old replace a png with another png)

Thanks for the answers
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Interesting. Thank you :D

Is it only the .dex that do the borking?

Can you swap out .png's in odex'd apk's?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darchstar:
yes, you can theme odex'd apps just as you would an unodex'd app. the only restrictions are hardcoded stuff such as font color
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
WHAT?!?!:confused::confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
am i wrong? I never did to much research on this but I just read an article and it says that cell phone companies will lease their towers to other companies.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzmode:
To answer the question about making an RUU... you can't.

We can make our own update.zip style updates, but we have to use a custom recovery to flash them because otherwise they won't pass the checks put in place by our current hboot. Now updating your hboot through RA is possible, but if you are already in RA then you are already rooted and you have no reason to need to mess with hboot to try and make it do something else.

The 1.56 RUU that I had modified was only modifying the exe file itself. The actual rom.zip contained in the RUU was totally legit and signed by HTC themselves. They are the only ones that can sign a .zip that will flash on our hboot without assistance (assistance meaning a custom recovery).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Thanks so why do they allow you the option of flashing update zips but dont ever give you one. So can a ruu be changed to downgrade the phone that can downgrade the phone
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipzmode:
Technically you could grab the rom.zip from an RUU and flash that via fasboot because it's signed by them. But that's no different than running the RUU itself.

My assumption is it's there more so for Sprint tech support for when you take your phone in, and not for us. :)

For example... our 1.56 MR update (before the RUU showed up) was an OTA update that it downloaded. That update was in update.zip format. It downloaded it to your phone and then rebooted in to recovery (had to be on the stock recovery) and flashed itself.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Thanks and now i know [/IMG]
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
They rent out the physical tower structures, not the transmitter/receiver hardware. The radios run on completely different frequencies and protocols. Verizon and Sprint both use the CDMA protocol(although there are some differences). AT&T and T-Mobile both use GSM, which is more common internationally. Also, I have heard that Sprint will not activate a non-Sprint phone, even if it is compatible with their network. An easy differentiator is GSM phones require SIM cards, CDMA does not. Flashing a GSM radio to a CDMA phone is the absolute worst thing you could do and will most likely cause permanent damage.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa Smurf151:
so knowing that you can change png files in odex roms can you edit xml files as well. Im guessing you cant use smali and backsmali to get to the classes.dex file to change things in there so how would we change things back to get the vanilla and rotery lockscreens. All that was said was that you couldnt change font colors. But there are multiple ways to do that so which way cant you do it. thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Thankyou for breaking that down. I wish everyone (my official request) would because I might understand something but someone else might not or have been left hanging with an answer like "different hardware" that's not an answer.

i've enabled file sharing on the home network. searching for devices doesn't give up the nexus at all. i have no idea how to add it :/

re: bt

i've enabled and started all bluetooth services. it can't even pair with my phone, for some reason. both are discoverable, both see each other, but won't pair. :/

i wish that there was a stickied thread about this. doing forum search with titles only doesn't pan out anything. doing google search only leads to non-helpful sites for the first 50 or so.

this seems like it should just be basic stuff. tell my computer to look, tell my phone to look, they see and go. but, neither wants to, they're both being stingy little stuck up bastards, lol

any help would be appreciated.
