Hi,

Just received a TG01 as insurance replacement for HTC Touch HD (none in stock) on Orange and getting used to it, for better and worse...!

One vital thing I keep finding is the connection sometimes switches to using 3G when I am connected to wifi. On the HTC, it was a simple case of using Comm Manager and turning off the Data Connection. On this phone, the connection manager just has 'Phone', 'Bluetooth' and 'Wifi' - and they're either on or off. The 'Phone' option turns all the functions of the phone off, including the data connection, but it's not exactly ideal.

The phone is running WM6.5 - the comm manager doesn't look very Microsofty so I'm guessing it's a bad Toshiba add in.

Any help getting something decent and easy working would be appreciated!

Hi Pat: Wellcome to this TG01 Thread (even for few days I assume ;) )

Anyway, I use the famous app Modaco's NODATA

http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

There is another app doing the same and more finger friendly here (but never tested):

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=246171&view=findpost&p=1265802

You can try both and review here , if you agree

By the way, as a accidental TG01 user, could you please compare features with your HTC Touch HD? Thank you in advance!
[TG01 General] patc:
Thank you for the helpful response and welcome :)

I've tried both apps - the first one only disables connections in a sort of semi permanent way and says you have to manually stop any existing connections when you turn them off - the point is, I can't manually stop the existing connections, that's what I want an app to do, and what Comm Manager used to do!

The second one complains about the .net framework and refuses to run, even though I have the latest redistributable on there, having windows mobile 6.5...

So I'm still a bit stuck.

I will post a comparison when I get the chance :)
[TG01 General] Pere:
You are welcome! That's a bit odd. I've been using NODATA for ages, on mi former device and now on TG01 under WM6.1 and WM6.5.

You have to be off data (not connected or only wifi connected). Then you ENABLE of DISABLE each mobile connection with the soft key "Toggle" and that's all. Which ROM do you have? Does somebody else have problems with NODATA?
[TG01 General] kadkaz:
Hi everybody,

I'm having problems with nodata on myTG01 (Evealex V5 ROM).

As soon as I launch it, it gives me an error message.

It used to work great with the second original toshiba ROM.

Please, help me !

Install attached HTC comm manager.

and do the following for Wlan:

Go to key in registy "HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN" and copy the value from 'AdapterName" string. Now go to key in registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN" and edit "DeviceName" string. You see there value like this: "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511". Delete the last part of this value ("TNETW12511") and past the value "AdapterName" which you copy at end. Make soft reset and that is all. Now Wifi button on your device should work properly

Alpha test patch:

Please backup your files before applying this as it will BSOD your Windows Xp sometimes!

Extract files from X86-en-20285469.cab

and install them from device manager to Marvell sd8686 Wifi LAN

then copy and replace

SD8686.sys

sd8686nd5.sys

sdbus.sys

to C:\windows\system32\drivers\

Restart (better having WiFi enabled)

insert sdhc card windows will BSOD , on next reboot you will have ability to read your SDHC card and WiFi.

Note: Occasionally If you pull out your card or turn off WiFi system will BSOD then restart and settings must return to right choice.

Sorry for a buggy patch will try to fix that..at least this is a start.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarewolf:
I purchased my X1a on eBay more than a year ago from a Californian who claimed the phone was unlocked. I turned to Canada's Rogers for a GSM SIM, and it has worked beautifully since, ... except that Rogers' coverage is darn bad here in Newfoundland. Sick of it, finally I gave Rogers notice because Telsus looked up its ESN and claimed they'd be able to support it on their HSPA network.

However, come today ... Telus installs their SIM, and the ESN is rejected. The guy behind the desk makes a call, and Telus central states that the only reason can be that the phone is still locked(?) Is it possible that it could have been locked to ATT and it just happens to work with Rogers? The phone doesn't have any thing on it to imply it once belonged to any US carrier.

Please advise ...

TIA & cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
Has Telus completely made the switch to GSM yet? I'm from the US, so sorry for my partial ignorance :p If they're still in the works, from what you said they're using ESN (which is a CDMA serial number); the Xperia doesn't have an ESN, it only has an IMEI (GSM standard).

One major reason it might not work is because each type of serial number has a different amount of numbers in them. ESN DEC (or MEID DEC) uses 18 numbers, ESN HEX (or MEID HEX) uses 14 letters and numbrs, and IMEI uses 18 numbers. ESN and IMEI are incompatible, while DEC and HEX are interchangable, since they're both CDMA standard. Maybe mention this to them and it'll jog their memories, and give you more specific information ;)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarewolf:
Thanx for your response :)

The Telus guy I first talked with took the battery out and looked up the # in their database and stated it would work. Today's Telus guy used the Xperia's OS to find the # indicated. The number, referred to by the OS as IMEI, actually has 15 numbers in it. The only difference from what's reported behind the battery is 35774202-003213-8(?)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenithflare:
The serial number printed on the phones will occasionally have dashes or spaces interspaced in the numbers, because it makes it easier to input than having a long string of numbers. :p

So, they confirmed the IMEI, and yet it still doesn't work? And it worked for a Roger's SIM just recently... I could see an issue activating the phone on a new account, because their system won't have the X1 in it, but that shouldn't stop the SIM from reading. Hell, AT&T has no idea what the X1 is, and my account says I'm using a Motorola flip phone XD But the SIM works wonderfully. Assuming it's a brand-new account, see if they can enter a different IMEI in their system to start with (here in the States, I'd say you should just get a free subsidized phone from them, but put the SIM in the X1)? If the SIM is rejected, it can mean it isn't activated... so it could be just the initial set-up IMEI. Sorry if that was a little confusing, I had random ideas popping up everywhere :p

Well, that was my only guess. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped :confused:
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarewolf:
You should be confused! :rolleyes:

I printed your 1st response and thought I'd swing by the Telus store on my way home. As it turned out, another Telus store was closer and was

not

affiliated with the previous. I told the woman my story, showed her your message ... and then she immediately took the SIM out of her phone and put it mine ... fired it up, and then reports "It works OK with my SIM(?)"

The previous Telus store had given me the SIM originally tried, so this woman puts it in and reports "It works OK with your SIM(?)" ... and then proceeds to sell me my month-to-month plan.

The moral ... well, I don't know what to make of it, except to believe that the 1st Telus store did not really need to check with Telus central (or their affiliated central) to see if my SIM would work. IE, it simply works! ... go figure ...

Thanx again :)

Hi I modded my HERO about 3 weeks ago and have tried various ROMS which have worked really well. However I dont get bluetooth anymore (Pairs but will not connect) and also my screen rotation does not work. Sometimes it works on the 1st boot for a few minutes then it stops and I dont hen have any screen rotation working again.

Any help please, coz this is doing my head in !! AAAhhhhhhh

Which rom are u using? And did you upgrade to the latest radio already?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
A wipe and reflash of a new ROM should help. I don't think anyone has had such issues with VillainROM 6.1, so that might be worth a look.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Razor302:
Thanks

Ive just dowloaded a copy of Villain ROM 6.1 but after its loaded from my SD card it just hangs on the Hero screen showing the HERO logo. I have even left it for over an hour but it still stays on the same screen. Any help really appretiated on this please?

[G1 Android Development] CrazyEye:
First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. I don't think it is though but anyways

I was thinking of cool ways notifications could be displayed instead of looking at the top (and reading a little at a time) then the idea of having drop down bubbles that pop up automatically and would show the full notification (SMS, USB Debugging, etc). You press the button and it opens the app or pops the bubble (settings maybe)

Well just letting you all in on my idea. I did a quick google to see if its been done on Android and I couldn't find anything.

Ideas?
[G1 Android Development] Evil-Monkey:
You mean like the SMS pop up? But applying that same/somilar pop up window for all notifications?

I was looking for something like this but in the notification bar, if there one text notification and its a long one why not extend out the notification to show all the text. This could make better use of the notification area.

I just hope someone with developing skills could make this and possibly implement it into roms.

really? isnt warmth charging batterys? in my old gameboy years i always put my batteries on the heater when the drained completely and after an hour i could play again with the old batteries.
[G1 Android Development] mejorguille:
This is true, but since battery stats are stored on the data partition, a data wipe also deletes the battery stats. A lot of rom's require a full wipe, meaning data and dalvik, so battery stats are deleted whether you select the option or not.
[G1 Android Development] samaral:
Hi!

Yes Im very familiar with that practice because i do that too. The reason might be because of the composition of the battery (alkaline, non alkaline). Usually we put it under the sun so that the heat will help change the composition of the compound inside the battery in order for it to lower down its resistance. Leading to a "charge".

But now we are using Li-Ion batteries, and I do not suggest putting them under the sun because it will deteriorate your battery capacity holding charge and its lifecycle.

change preferred network type helped for me increasing battery life

Hello all,

as describe in post

xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6432560&postcount=1

changing preferred network type worked for me.

default setting: WCDMA preferred drains my battery in a few hours, crazy

within CM 5.0.7-test7 I was able to change to: GSM/CDMA auto and it worked

But now in the final release 5.0.7-DS I can not select this setting. Perhaps it correlates to the this (PRL) info in brackets.

It seems that no "auto" setting want be working so I am trying WCDMA only right now and will see if I have a network in 2G networks too.

Ive noticed that bluetooth is killlllling battery life, but dont know if its normal. I charged to 100% and turned everything on, leaving screen on the whole time and what not.

While I was actively using the net over WiFi, I had nothing using the bluetooth, and both seem to eat up 20%..

This might be normal, might not be, but thought it was odd that it being on, but not in use, ate up just as much as functioning, in use, wifi.

whats funny to me is as soon as my phone dies i plug it up reboot it a few times and my battery is at 70%

and my battery is back at 70% which is weird ... anyone else notice that???

also wifi, gps is on screen brightness is standard !!!

batteries really seem to be the least developed technology in our high tech phones. feels like a sportscar with a one gallon tank...the fun's over quickly...

turned off my 3G and got a lot of additional battery life. with bad 3G reception (like in the place I live in) the phone was sometimes sucked empty in just a few hours, now I get two days.

another thing that really helped me extend my battery life was turning on airplane mode when I went to bed.

hot/cold controversy

Since I have a background in electrical theory and chemistry, let me end this debate once and for all: heat makes atoms (and therefore molecules) move faster. Lack of heat (cold) makes them move slower. In general, fast-moving atoms in batteries mean MORE power, not less. The reason your car doesn't want to start when temperatures are subzero is that the battery acid (electrolyte) molecules are moving too slowly to oxidize (give off e-, electrons) and turn back into positive ions. The same is true for the ol' Gameboy AAs -- put them on the heater, the dry cell warm up, and more electrons are transferred to the anode by anions, the positive ions (cations) are more able to travel to travel back to the cathode (in the case of dry/wet-cell rechargeable storage batteries). Heat acts as a catalyst to produce electricity. Some of you may have even taken your car battery indoors if the electrolyte froze in the winter. Some of your cars may have battery blankets or even battery heaters if you live really far up north. In addition, the process of charging a Li-Ion, Ni-mH, or even lead acid battery will produce heat, because chemical conversion is bi-directional, but anyway . . . you charge the G1, it gets hot. You use it heavily, it gets hot. You know you're spending electrons somewhere when it gets hot period. Keeping the phone cool will not increase battery life or make it charge fast. What lower battery temperatures will do is lengthen the battery's overall life. What happens if you leave meat out in 100F/30C temperatures? It goes bad quickly. Same principle in Li-ion. The rechargeable battery is ideally an efficient, closed system of ion exchange that should work for many (hundreds) of duty cycles, but eventually heat plays a role in deterioration of the electrolyte and chemical catalysts inside.

So put your extra charged batteries (but you don't want a Li-ion or Ni-mH battery to sit very long in an discharged state, so be careful here) in the refrigerator in an airtight bag (rotating on a daily basis) if you really want them to last a long time, but don't charge them frozen (ka-boom!) and remember cold batteries charge slowly. Car batteries in sub-tropical areas are replaced at a rate of about once every 24 months, but in Sweden? Maybe every five or six years. Cold temperatures slow down chemical deterioration just like cold keeps that steak from becoming maggot food.

Again, a hot G1 may weaken its own internal components and batteries over time, but putting it on ice won't give you an extra 6 hours to oogle Miley Cyrus' vBlog :D

Hope this helps.

For me, unless I'm expecting a text or a call always have my phone on airplane mode. I turn it off every hour or so to see if I got any unimportant texts, and then turn it back on
[G1 Android Development] samaral:
uh, right. you're welcome.
[G1 Android Development] zim2dive:
Use Toggle Settings (or Timeriffic) to automatically put your phone in Airplane mode while you are sleeping (ie. 11pm-7am, or whatever).

Not much reason to leave the radios on unless you are expecting (and want to take) calls when you are sleeping.

I'm still on CM4, so not sure, but you could do a similar thing with 3G vs. 2G, I think this control is available in Eclair?.. ie put the phone on 2G while you are at work (lower battery) and bump up to 3G during the hours not at work (when you will be browsing and want the speed). Not sure if either of the above mentioned apps supports that.
[G1 Android Development] Arkain2K:
Grab the wigets from the Market that allow you to switch power-hungry features (such as WiFi, GPS, 3G) On and Off at will and place them in your main screen for quick access :)

Updating your G1's radio to the currently-latest version (2.22.23.02) should give you better battery life as well as signal reception (you can always switch back to 2.22.19.26I if it doesn't work out for you).
[G1 Android Development] Nargaroth:
So do I HAVE TO recalibrate after a full wipe?
[G1 Android Development] mano42:
Well, I did al this plus I disabled 3G, wifi, GPS, bluetooth, dimmed lcd and I managed to stork out 1.5 days of battery life (almost new battery). I realized that my old Ericsson T39 is much more useful than my G1, my mails appears in my in-box regularly, and my battery still last 6 days. So I belive if anyone needs all the features G1 can give, take it as it is, and charge it regularry, if not, go back to your old Siemens C35, Ericcson T39, or Nokia 6310.

YEP, no two batteries are the same. State of Charge is calculated on voltage, time, temperature, and cell balance.
