[Desire General] ziao:
maybe i misunderstood you, but its perfectly possible to make an adhoc wifi network, and connect to the internet on your desire

it has everything to do with your phone. If the phone has no interface for it, it won't work.

Can't say whether it works or not, just saying that it does not depend solely on your computer
[Desire General] rackspace:
I dont think so ... I have tried and also read that it doesnot work!
[Desire General] ziao:
odd, because i use it nearly everyday
[Desire General] dwphoto:
So does this mean I can do it or not ?

Do I need and ad-hoc wifi network - what exactly is this ?

Thanks
[Desire General] ziao:
If your computer has a wifi card (laptops usually do, desktops don't) you can create a local network and connect your desire to it.

No idea if it's possible over a wire
[Desire General] neur0x:
You don't need to create an ad-hoc network, just download connectify and use it as a hotspot on your laptop, then connect the Desire to the hotspot you just created and that's it.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Ahh that is handy!

Thanks for the tip :)
[Desire General] manisa236:
I created an adhoc network following this: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/setup/adhoc.mspx

The host laptop itself can see the adhoc network, but desire cannot.

Any ideas?
[Desire General] ingvarr_zaag:
Maybe I'm wrong but AFAIK Desire can't 'see' ad-hoc networks, only access points. You can get internet from PC, but only using Connectify under Windows 7 or by using advanced magic under Linux.

Am I right or something has changed lately?

BTW: does anybody share internet from Linux? Any suggestions?
[Desire General] neur0x:
As far as i know, you can only see an ad-hoc network if you have the desire rooted and change some files somewhere (can't remember which ones...), either way the next best thing is to use some kind of software that creates an Wifi Access Point.
[Desire General] siliconaddict:
I don't get it: why would you want to connect to the internet via your PC instead of directly connecting to your WiFi router :confused:?
[Desire General] Flaggie:
Maybe when you only have a LAN-connection?
[Desire General] dave7802:
Or Maybe when your in Work and only have a Lan Setup

and want to access / download things on your phone,

Reverse USB tethering would be AMAZING!!!!!
[Desire General] siliconaddict:
Stupid me, just hadn't realized that still not everyone has a WiFi capable router nowadays... :o
[Desire General] Ronok:
The problem with ad-hoc internet sharing is that your host PC still needs a WiFi connection. You can't use internet through USB. I've tried it yesterday at work (yes, for the Froyo update :p ), but no succes.

Having a smartphone in a country with high mobile data costs is like having a Ferrari to do your local grocery shopping ;) Fortunately I'll have unlimited mobile internet next week. So I can finally use my Desire as intended.

help guys...how do you hide sense like in the pic posted....i believe its from reignzone screenshot...cant find the cab that would do this....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Munto:
I guess you can find the PNG image using CFC GUI, and just remove the content, make it completely transparent. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PlayTrac168:
hey munto...so the image doesnt mean that manila sense is hidden and if you hit the slider icon, it would appear? does this mean sense is completely disabled?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] watcher64:
That is what it looks like to me,

I know in Cookies hometab 1.8 and earlier it is under misc settings "Retract Slider"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PlayTrac168:
GT!!! thanks watcherHD....such a knucklehead here...so simple and i failed to realize thats was in CHT...hahha.....thanks a bundle buddy...satisfied...for now...how do you change the way the slider looks now?????hahha:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] aoakes:
just install the newest CHT 1.8.X and it has a slider incorporated into the sense. this one doesnt have any bugs. ie all the cabs i tried glitched out on landscape to portrait mode showing both slider and slider bar...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wolfee:
or these cab files for just the retractable slider skins.

I know i have 2 different retractable skins. The first one I know is correct... the second cab I'm pretty sure it is as well. I could be wrong though.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
I am doing a titanium backup but I guess homescreens aren't included in "system data"?

This is one thing that sucks about constantly flashing new roms is having to set up all my icons and widgets back up.

Especially since I have to do it for mine and my gf's phone every time a new release comes out, lol.

Also, do text messages not get backed up in titanium?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mast3rpyr0:
If you dont wipe your data and dont switch to or from a sense based ROM then your homescreen will stay the same.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
Yeah I knew about not wiping the data but I just figured that titanium would back up that system data.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
yes titanium will backup your homescreen setup
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
Whenever I backup with titanium I always selected "Backup all user apps + system data" and I have never had my home screen saved. Is there another option I should be saving?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amw2320:
I'm gonna bump this back up. I use titanium as well, but I don't like doing a complete backup. I just backup the few applications where I want to refiddle with the settings. The rest get a clean install.

Does one of the backup options include you screen settings?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrono:
I just use SMS backup/restore in the market for that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seventyfive:

I got my HTC 2150mAH battery today from VZW. It's HUGE, but I've been thinking about how to make it more streamlined since I heard about it. Enter my dremel work.

Dremel out the rear of the VZW snap case to match the bulge on the new battery door. Sand it down smooth, and here you have it. It's pretty nice feeling, and it doesn't bulge out too much. It's still bulkier than before, however if you had a protective case already it isn't much of a difference.

Now, my phone looks good and holds a charge longer.

NOTE:

Decided to meet some of the demand and offer my modding to you guys.

I will do this on a per request basis for $45 including the case, and $25 if you mail me the case yourself. This includes shipping the case to you (you pay for shipping to me). If I grab the case myself, I simply run to the VZW store and pick on up, and this saves you on shipping to me.

PM me if you want me to do this. Just give me about 5 days or so turnaround time, as I have full time obligations elsewhere.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] IncredibleDoes:
where did you order this battery? i want one?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] UgXvibe:
Best looking one I've seen yet. You should buy a bunch of those cases and modify them for sale.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] drPheta:
At $20-$30 per case, plus the time to modify them it wouldn't be worth it to both buyer and myself. If anyone wants, send me the money and I can do it on a need basis, but I'm not going to stock these.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] davisbs999:
nice work man!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] abe01:
I did something very similar with mine!!!! I just cut the back out of the black silicone case so the battery sticks through the back...it looks 10x better now and I will be keeping my 2150 because of it. If people want pics of this let me know.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] the337:
Could you post up some pictures? The red case looks good but I'm wondering if the black case looks even better since the the phone is already black and it might blend in better.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] celluloidhero:
Could you post pics I have the same case, but I'm iffy about getting the battery.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
What happens to the antenna in the modified case?

I was told after checking the original back casing that the antenna is part of the backing. Now that the case has been altered did anyone think to look where the antenna is laying now. You have to look very close at the inside of the back of the case to see that the antenna was embedded and camouflaged. How is the reception?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] davisbs999:
I noticed that there are cheap Dremels on sale online. Is it ok to use a crappy cordless one for this task, since there really isn't much material to remove?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] abe01:
I don't have my other camera at work so I had to use the camera on the phone using a mirror. I'll try to remember to take a better pictures or pictures sometime. It looks nice though, it doesn't look silly anymore.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] davisbs999:
I agree, that looks sweet. That's it i am going to break down buy a rotary tool today
[Droid Incredible Accessories] abe01:

[Droid Incredible Accessories] jsanta11:
looks good .. quick question how is your power button.. I had to shave mines down a bit cause it was getting stuck ..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] theoneownz:
Verizon is accepting phone orders of the battery. I recieved mine yesterday it feels great not having to run to a charge 49% battery ( 6:57am last charge to now 11:13pm )

that's 16 hours of moderate use and still no urgency to plug it in lmao
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
No takers on the Antenna question.

Got the new battery and case backing yesterday. Sure enough the antenna is mounted covertly in the center of the back of the case on the inside as is the standard one. So if the stylish have decided to cut away this area what trick was employed to replace the Antenna? How is the reception? Also, the idea of shaving down the power button is neat. Does it have a height limitation? It should have been done in the original design since it can be bumped when inside of a case which will keep initiating the screen power. Battery drain!!!!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] ufvj217:
that looks badass!!!!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Capt.D:
He didn't alter the back of the phone....he altered the snap on case...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] davisbs999:
Duh--it didn't even occur to me to just buy a soft case. While it's always fun to play with power tools, this will be easier on the wallet. Can anyone recommend a cheap source to buy a soft/easily altered case?

Yes, click on the el cheapo case in my signature.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] vmod32:
Dude where do you come up with this BS??? The antenna is NOT mounted in the plastic back case. That makes no sense, it's just plastic..
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
Your asked, Another android formum, of course

Care to prove otherwise. I'm showing my source.

An excerpt from where I saw the info. If you have an incredible pull off the back cover and run your finger nail in the center. You will find a raised area shape. This may have been mistaken as an antenna.

So your saying HTC the people who make the phone dont know what there talking about you must didnt read the article or your just really.... nevermind

During our meeting with HTC at the CTIA 2010, we have learned this information about the antenna on the battery covers of these new devices. In addition, I have examined and found the same antenna on the battery cover of HTC Desire, even though it has a black color design. Which means we might see more and more devices with antenna on the inside of the battery cover.

Well folks, be careful not to lose your battery cover door, from one of these new HTC devices listed above, otherwise it will leave you helpless, or should we say "disconnected from the world".

http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/64256-antenna-back-battery-door.html If you have an original incredible battery cover pull off the back cover and run your finger nail in the center. You will find a raised area shape. This may have been mistaken as an antenna.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
We are in agreement.

I didn't say that I had been reading the right answers and now after closer inspection of the standard, the 2150 and the 3500 Mah battery covers it appears the marks on the inside of the cover are only tooling marks from the manufacturing of the part. They are not repeated in all backings. The item I quoted from above, while it was my original source, appears to be incorrect. Searched the manual and while a GPS antenna was mentioned, the actual location in the phone

was not

pointed out in the manual. The earphones act as the antenna for the phone specifically for use with FM listening. Thank you for encouraging me to look deeper into the issue. I have posted information on the new 3500 Mah battery. Those tidbits I performed on my own and did not rely on others observations. 60+ hours before the phone said I was 14% battery remaining.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] vmod32:
If there was an antenna in the back cover it would need a wire going to it or some sort of metal contacts, there is none. It's just plastic through and through. The part you thought was the antenna is just some bumps left over from the manufactures molding process.

Antennas can't be made of just plastic...
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jexy:
We are in agreement 2

Please note the post prior to the one you left. You can see that we are in agreement.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Mr1070:
I think its from howerer the metal htc logo us mounted. And it may have a think piece metal in the area.to.act. as a heat sink for.the battery itself
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Kev8124:
This is fantastic. I upgraded the battery and didn't know what to do with my case. Now I know.

do you still do this work? id like to buy one as soon as i get some money together within the next week or 2, i just got my extended battery and that case looks nice!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tjamscad:
The cases look nice. However I must comment on the antenna in the back cover. Any part of a product that has an antenna should in the USA have an FCC number on it.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] setexascustoms:
Did anyone ever try it on the Seidio? I don't see why it wouldn't work, and the extra battery life sure would be nice. Excellent idea BTW :D
[Droid Incredible Accessories] SoCGHOST:
I have a dremel but not a steady enough hand, or the focus to do it. Is he still able to mod them? I have wanted a bigger battery, but the lack of case has made me hesitate.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Pagaldesi4life:
I'm also curious if anyone has tried this with the Seidio case. Think a heavy duty scissor could cut through the Seidio Innocase II or would I need a dremel?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mikes70mustang:
Hmm, i have a 3500 but the case that goes over it kinda sucks. I thought about cutting out my red speck push on case but its really nice and was almost $30. Seems best tried on a cheap case first. Idk why im willing to mod a $50 hardshell for a macbook pro but not a phone...

so..... no one makes cases for the extended battery yet?? I am surprised no company is jumping on the wagon to provide accessories to extended battery owners.... $_$.

[EVO 4G General] drpencilcase:
I just moved to the US (I'll be working here for at least 3 years) and I want to buy an evo. My SSN will be ready in about 4 weeks but I wouldn't like to keep using the prepaid at&t data plan on my old Kaiser (using android).

I went to Radio Shack and the guy told me they could sell me one with a $50-$100 deposit but they didn't have one in stock. I went to bestbuy mobile later and the lady there told I would need a $500 deposit.

Which one is closer to the truth? Does anybody know the best way to get it? Even if I wait for my SSN I'll have no credit history so I'll probably need a deposit anyway.
[EVO 4G General] psn1819:
yea this gonna be a tough one but yea the 50-100 deposit maybe in your interest...however verizon wouldve hit you with like twice that deposit with or w/o a credit check...i would try and see if you can port your credit status from whatever country your from.. do you have a work or just a temp visa
[EVO 4G General] drpencilcase:
J1 visa....I'll be doing residency in the the United States.

$50-$100 deposit wouldn't be bad at all
[EVO 4G General] LordLugard:
Err, the Radioshack person wasn't fully clear. The $50 deposit he/she mentioned is just the deposit to pre-order the Evo from them. That does you no good since you wouldn't pass a credit check anyway with your new SSN (because you don't have any established credit history yet) AND you would be required to put down a hefty deposit by Sprint (and that's if at all they choose to do so).

The pre-order deposit (from Radioshack) and Sprint's service deposit are 2 different things. Best deal going on i'll say is T-Mobile's Even More Plus plans, Talk+text+web $59.99 for 500 daytime minutes/unlimited nights & weekends/unlimited data/unlimited texts, no contract, no credit check. Get a Nexus One and you'll be fine.

Hi. I was hesitant to have what's probably a silly question be my first post, but, I couldn't find the answer by searching.

I just bought and downloaded CorePlayer for my HD2 and come to find that CoreCodec doesn't automatically provide me with the activation code immediately after completing my purchase. My confirmation email said that I have to email them in order to receive the code. I find this strange, inconvenient, and annoying.

But, since it seems that I have no choice but to wait for them to email me back, I was hoping that one of you would be kind enough to let me know how long it usually takes them to email the activation code back. Thanks in advance!

Have to agree with the OP. Paid, downloaded, installed and now waiting, waiting, waiting for the activation code. Sorry, but that'll be my last purchase from CoreCodec . Regret not having gone with Kinoma. Very disappointed with the service which should in fact be totally automated.
