[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdude:
Hey all,

Just got my EVO. I've disabled Sense because I like the regular Android interface (love my Nexus One). One thing I've noticed is that the 4G toggle widget is not available with Sense off.

Does anyone know of a 4G toggle widget for non-Sense users? If not I'll probably throw one together this weekend, but if there's already one out there I'd like to avoid the work (laziness for the win ;-)

Thanks.

UPDATE (6/14): Really close to done on this. Hoping to have it released tonight or tomorrow. Will keep you guys posted.

UPDATE (6/15):

Alright, got this done and it's working! Just install the attached APK and add the widget to your home screen. If you'd like to donate or are too lazy to download an APK, I added it to the market for a 99-cent donation:

Glad to be able to give back to the community after so long. I'd just ask you to please not distribute this APK elsewhere. Thanks!

UPDATE (6/19):

For anyone who wants to reskin or modify this widget, or is just curious about how it works, I've released the source here:

http://code.google.com/p/toggle4g/

This of course means it is now open source and yours to muck with and distribute freely (within the limits of the license).

UPDATE (6/20):

There seems to be a bug where the widget may turn your 4G back on after a reboot, even if it was off when you shut down. I'm looking into it but in the meantime, just be aware that this may occur.

Changelog (last update 6/18)

- v1.2: completely redid widget icon, added toast on toggle.

- v1.1: fixed centering, widget is slightly larger now too.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
I don't believe this exists at all. I've never seen one.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phinnaeus:
Did someone say mod the Power Control widget? Hmm, yes, I'm almost certain someone did.

So who knows how to make widgets?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MetroKnight:
Sorry, I'm not really contributing here, but think it's ironic that you have "laziness" and "FTW" typed out! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nitro2985:
Man I hope you can put this out soon. We NEED a 4g toggle.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xcom923:
I agree, I just activated my Evo yesterday and I love it! but like many of you I decided to ditch Sense in favor of something lighter (for battery life, and I like helix) but there isn't a 4G toggle anywhere someone help!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] yeahthatsme:
Add me to the list hoping for a toggle. While I'm at it, anyone know how to get the stock dialer and calendar on the EVO? I really don't like sense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdude:
Yeah, I would prefer stock dialer, calendar, and contacts as well. But unfortunately those are baked into the build so you can't just replace them. You'll have to wait for a clean ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bhagiratha:
How do you disable the sense interface, and can it be re-enable later on?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] yeahthatsme:
bhagiratha I used androidcental's youtube step by step as I am a Android noob. I sent you the link privately, it wouldn't let me post a link in here.

Hurry up Froyo, that will solve a lot of issues for me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Sawdizzle:
Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->HTC Sence->Clear Defaults

Once that is done, you can hit the Home Key and it will ask you to select a home app, either the Stock HTC Sense Home or generic Android Launcher.

Yes, you can go back to Sense if you like, you can even go back and forth if you don't select a default.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Negrito:
Actually i believe as soon as the ROM gets de-odexed you should be able to swap the sense app for the vanilla ones no problem (hopefully). It worked on my Hero running FreshToast2.1 before Sprint even relased 2.1.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] zotman:
I have been searching the market every day hoping a toggle widget pops up some day, but it never does. :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ncyncy:
Bump! 4g widget! Please and Thank You! We would be indebted!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ncyncy:
:D;)

So... Any thoughts about making that widget?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdude:
I started on it this weekend and am really close. Thought I'd be done last night, but making it all shiny, packaging, etc. is taking a bit longer than expected. I'm hoping to have it done today or tomorrow. I'll post it on here when it's done and probably put 99 cent donate version in the Market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Oh wow that's awesome that you're actually making one! I can't wait to have that as I often disable sense as well :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] stroths:
Very nice...Was searching for this recently and didn't find anything. Want to try out some other launchers like ADW, but don't want to lose my 4g toggle.

Looking forward to your widget
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rdude:
Re: 4G Widget w/Sense disabled

Computer just crashed as I was packaging it up :-(

Fortunately didn't lose any work but have to wait for Windows to finish reinstalling...

I just tested it out and it works as advertised. I tried it in Sense first on the same screen as the Sprint 4g widget and as I turned it on or off, the Sprint one followed suit. I also tried it in the default android launcher and it worked great there as well. Very nicely done!!

The only suggestion I have is to center the icon. It sits to the left currently.
[EVO 4G General] munsterrr:
cant post pics apparently.

i work at the 11th floor on 19th and G in NW(2 blocks from white house) and my 4g is non-existent. I pray that its just some cruel joke. I was getting better 4g at my house which is about 9 miles outside the city in Alexandria.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
Its a new tech that has pretty much just started roll out. Its not going to be available perfectly everywhere.

Remember when 3g came out and it was spotty as hell? Some areas had great coverage others not so great. It takes time.
[EVO 4G General] munsterrr:
I mean...of course. I was just hoping that i would get it some where at here, being they said "core areas of DC" Theres not much more "core" than this.

I just wanted to know if other people around here were too.
[EVO 4G General] DDRBoxman:
I have noticed that 4G has issues getting inside buildings. But it seems like a large portion of DC and Northern VA has 4G.
[EVO 4G General] munsterrr:
i was just outside in full 4g and got 864kb down and 1021kb up
[Touch HD General] dkp1977:
Hey guys,

does anybody know how to change the default view for the calendar tab in manila 2.5? Normally it shows the agenda view. But I would rather have it start up in week view. I believe that can be achieved by changing one certain registry value. I just can't seem to find it.

An help is highly appreciated.

[Desire General] rexmundo:
cables

I could only find cables in china has anyone seen any for sale in the uk ?
[Desire General] alex101uk:
you can make the micro USB to USB 'A' cable with a few bits and a soldering iron or some electrical tape. They seem to be scarce over here so thats what i plan on doing.
[Desire General] kingchris:
i have a "female - female" USB Cable here. if i plug this in my normal micro USB-Cable will this work?

Desire -> Micro-USB-Cable -> Female - Female-USB-Cable -> USB-Keyboard
[Desire General] uipe:
I ordered from the ebay guy he adivised on his site ;)
[Desire General] alex101uk:
@kingchris

Nah this wont work. The reason he uses the powered hub and the special power cable is because the phone itself doesnt give out 5v like a normal USB port so devices are having to steal it from elsewhere.

So with your keyboard setup, the data lines will be connected but it will have no power.
[Desire General] kingchris:
so a normal Micro-USB cable to a USB-HUB and then to the keyboard?
[Desire General] alex101uk:
Dont know if you even need the hub. Its the special dual ended power cable you need. Just need some way to pump 5v down towards the keyboard. *i think*
[Desire General] alex101uk:
http://www.span.com/product_info.php?products_id=22810

Here a link to a company selling the power cable. Based in Surrey.
[Desire General] teitiel:
i think it will work if you don't plugin as much devices as the guy in the video.
[Desire General] teitiel:
you can use one of these to convert your existing Charging Cable to a Female Port

I use exchange for my googlemail as it allows reply where as the normal gmail application doesnt .. i have googlemail unticked in the syn settings but when i get an email the email goes into both the exchange folder which i have on my home screen and also gmail folder which is in the menu

i only have googlemail auto sync on calendar and contacts so i cant understand why the emails come through on both any idea's ??

thanks

chris
[Desire General] Mikulec:
Thats weird, I have tha same settings like you (google set to exchange, google mail sync turned off) and I get mail only to htc mail application.
[Desire General] mancuk29:
think ive managed to stop it but cant understand why .. ive disabled pop and imap forwarding on my googlemail settings (through website) I now just get email through my exchange ? very strange but at least sorted
[Desire General] foxmeister:
OT, but what do you mean by "allows reply"?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] mancuk29:
Hi Dave

If someone sends me an email and I want to reply back I cant find any reply button on the googlemail email system ... unless of course im missing it !

the only way that I have got around this is to set up via exchange which has a reply / reply all and forward button

I would prefer to use just one system ie googlemail as my contacts and calendar sync through this but without the reply button its useless

if the facility is there how do you do it ???

thanks chris
[Desire General] foxmeister:
I thought that was what you meant, but it seemed odd to me because the Gmail client is fully featured.

However, it's not a button per se - scroll down to the end of an email, and you'll see three clickable links:

Forward

im losing service all the time

when my phone is sitting there it says 1 bar and 3G

but when i try to use anything that uses internet its cuts off and loses service,

then goes back and says 3bars and using 1x, which works.

So basically it wont connect to 3G and says it only has 1 bar when my sisters works n 3G and says she has 3bars. and when i tether its extra slow since its running off 1x, and it loses service randomly while surfing internet, or texting, or when making a call. but when im on the phone the service never cuts out and shows 3bars

any ideas?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theboo7:
you think it might be because of newer radio?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00gl3:
The radios are a bit of a finnicky thing. Some people love the newest and some love the original.

Location is the most important factor when dealing with reception. You can try all the different radios and see which works best for you. There are threads on these forums with all the different radios attached.

*FYI - Be very careful when flashing radios as you could brick your phone if done improperly.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theboo7:
well i have the 2.42.blah blah blahh
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00gl3:
That is the latest radio, but as I said before some people swear that the older ones work better for them. It doesn't hurt to try others and see if anything improves for you. Here is a link to the radio thread.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJL99:
If you're not getting good signal reception it could be your rom like someone mentioned. Some roms have signal bugs ive heard. Do you normally get reception and good signal strength when this happens? I see you updated your prl, but one thing that worked better for me was flashing the verizon/alltel hybrid prl. Gives me a much better signal, but some people have reported opposite effects. Cant search too well with tapatalk so I cant give you the link but its on here somewhere.

The funny thing is that it worked perfectly this morning, even after downloading most of the apps (that I was able to find, but that's another thread :( ) that I had on my Moment w/ 2.1. I went to sleep for a few hours, didn't do anything special to the Evo when I got up. Then I get to work tonight to show my buddies the Qik app and....force closes every time. I hope they find a solution to this soon.

I would assume that they are not compatible with the 2.1 SDK's... which would have to take really bad programming because Google is really up tite lately about legacy code in their SDK's always being 100% backwards compatible to old software(That is of course with the exception of new Android features).

The no headphones is surprising, but with a retail cost of 450.00, you can't expect much. I would rather pay less and skip the headphones and mini hdmi cable than pay for them and not use them.

Also if you wana go alittle cheaper then the V-moda Vibe II, the V-moda Faze are extremly good too, thats what i ended up getting, they run about $49.99 and exellent sound quality and build!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Drewmungus:
I use super cheap OEM blackberry headphones I get off ebay for like $3 a pair. As far as comfort and sound quality go they seem way better than the other super cheap and kinda nice headphones I have
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
There's better IEM headphones than any of the V-Moda models for less $ or about the same price imo... MEElectronics M9P, Nuforce NE-7M, Maximo iP-HS5, etc. Head-Fi.org is a great resource for all things headphones. I just bought the MEElec M9P last week and I've been trying 'em out today, I got 'em for $22 w/S&H but I think they went back up in price to $35 (the others are around $50).

I think they're a noticeable step up in quality from the other mic-less IEMs I already had, Sennheiser CX300 and JVC HA-FX34 Marshmallows... Those two are fairly common at retail stores so if you've ever owned either of them you have a fairly good point of reference.

After reading a few threads at HF I ended up w/the MEElec because of the relative SQ to price, and the fact that they have one of the best cords of any IEMs under $100... Hardly any microphonics at all, virtually none if worn over the head (microphonics = cord noise when it bounces or rubs against stuff). It's got like two layers or something (one of them is translucent so it's obvious).

Pretty high quality stuff, nice hockey-stick shaped plug, nice metal casings, comes with 5 different sets of tips (regular single flanges in three sizes and dual-flange tips in two colors) and a bunch of other accessories including a nice hard case that's slimmer than most of those types of cases I've seen. Highly recommended, I like them a lot more than my Senn or JVC (and I paid like $50 for the Senns around 5 years ago, $20 for the JVC recently). I've not been able to test the mic yet since my EVO hasn't arrived and I didn't feel like doing it with the iPod touch's sound recorder or something.
[EVO 4G Accessories] AssassinsLament:
Does the V-Moda Faze have call answer functions?

I went ahead and bought the FAZE and wow, the sound is great and yes it works for answering/hanging up calls as well as playing music.

[EVO 4G Accessories] bhagiratha:
Today I went down to mobilecityonline located in Canal street and purchased the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth stereo headset for use with my EVO 4G.

At the moment it is charging [at least 8hrs], but I wanted to know if anyone it using this particular device?

Once I get it up and running, I will let you guys know how compatible it is with the EVO. Hopefully all the functions will work and I don't have to return it.

update 06/08/10

Well with alot of playing around and trying a few different audio apps, I got the MW600 to function the way I wanted, which saved me from returning it.

My main concern was being able to use the controls on the device, and I was only able to do so with an app called bTunes.

I had no luck with the stock Android music player nor with another App called

Audio Player WithEQ Platinum

Although those two did play via the bluetooth unit, I was not able to use none of the control functions.

With bTunes, I was able to play, pause, and use the forward and backward functions.

On a side note, the headphones that came with the MW600 are very short, but they sound very good. I ended up using my Klipsch Image S4i which I was using previously with my 3GS.

Hope this meets you all well.

Cheers !

Those V-modo's look cool, but honestly for the price they lack key features:

1- IN-line volume control. not a digital one like iphone headsets, but a slider on it, like the OEM mogul shipped with.

2.- for that price, and especially since it is coated in so much metal, it should have an inline radiation deadener- nobody wants radiation from their phone being transmitted right into their eardrums, especially since the 3.5mm port on our evo's acts as the FM antenna --- that is just insulting
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
At least from my experience with this device....

You are better off with using bluetooth headphones that can do MP3 bluetooth decoding and using Meridian as the music player. The truth is that while the headphone out is decently clean, it has a relatively high output impedance and not much driving capability. You are much better off getting some headphones with imp between 32-60ohms and at least 97db efficiency and not getting something too nice to use direct.

There is also the issue of when this is hooked up with grounding loop noise if you hook up your headphones to the output. Why the engineers who would put together such a media centric device would not think of such simple things is beyond me, but the iPod does it too and it is a pure music player.

If you happen to use a headphone amplifier, then you can use what you want because the audio signal will likely be free of much ground noise and have a really nice spectrum to it (much better than even my line out was on my iPhone....though not better than my modded iPod Touch).

If someone wants to work on USB host audio drivers I would be elated, willing to help as well. I can even make a custom hardware I/O box for the Evo!

Is the volume using the iphone headset loud enough for you? I've tried it and it's too low and the people I'm trying to talk with sounds like they are fading in and out.
