[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Alright, I really need some help from the big boys here.

I have had my N1 since release. I have T-Mobile and no data plan. Everything I do is over wifi.

On Friday, I saw the 3g icon on my phone for the first time. It appeared out of nowhere and just flips between 3G and E since T-Mobile just blocks data for non-plan users. This was killing the battery life of the phone.

I called Google and they ran me through *#*#4636#*#* to disable the data connection. This fixed the problem for a while; However after a while the phone will give a message that there is no service provider and will reconnect to T-Mobile (it has never done this before outside of phone boots). When it is back up the 3G/E cycling starts again. Even worse the data connection still lists as disabled and will not re-enable. I have to pop the battery out while it is running to get back in to disable it.

Google thinks its an app but I have removed everything but Touchdown and K9 which I don't think are the problem. I have used Android OS Monitor and I do see connections to 64.15.75.218 and 209.44.107.13 which are hot beds for malware and when I uninstall any app these connections vanish temporarily. But they come back after a few hours.

Anyone seen this before or know a way to track IP connections to a particular app?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonderwout:
I have no solution for tracing 'malicious' software but it is possible to just disable all mobile data usage.

Settings/Wireless and network settings/ Mobile networks > "Data enabled"

If you unselect this there should be no more data transfer while on the mobile network.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I do not have that option. Google Rep said it was only in froyo.

Problem is I did the same thing for 2.1 but it keeps coming back on. Even with wifi the phone connects to these ips so who knows what it is doing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
3G isn't used only for data, you can do voice on 3G.

Could be T-Mobile expanding 3g into your are where you didn't have coverage before.

Call T-Mobile and make sure you're not actually using data.

As for tracking applications, you can use System Panel Pro of the market to monitor how much data applications are using.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I know I am not using data. The T-Mobile account page is pretty detailed and I am unable to do anything online when wifi is off. 3G has also been available for a while here as I know others that use it.

I will check out system panel.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
It is indeed only on Froyo, however, Froyo is out now, so install it and you'll instantly benefit.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
A few more things:

Were you receiving or sending MMS (picture/video messages) when the 3G icon popped up? This is normal and doesn't usually come out of your data balance.

If you'd like to be triple-sure you're not using data, go into the APN settings. Edit the APN name - e.g. change tmobile.com to nomobile.com. Now it *really* shouldn't be able to access data.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
Smarphones would be well to do to have a Zonealarm/little snitch type app for this purpose.

Id imagine ad based apps wouldnt be too happy about it. At the least an app that reports IPs times , and IN/OUT info.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I never use SMS or mms and have not gotten any during this time.

My concern is not related to getting charges but with unwanted use of my phone or data. When the data connection auto enables it will go through my battery in a matter or hours and who knows what the phone may be doing.

I know I can turn this off and make sure data is not used - in fact I have already done this. However when smoke enters room you don't just put a towel under the door and forget about it. I want to find the source of this and stop it because the behavior is not normal.

I agree something like zone alarm would be good. You should be able prevent or track an app activities for situations like this. If I knew what was connecting to these IPs and enabling the data connection I could stop it and report the app or submit a bug request. Right now I am just all alone.

I did try system panel which seems like a nice app but it does not give me good information on network usage by app. OSMonitor is better at connection monitoring but doesn't list by app. Why has no one thought to monitor network threads by app?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Try alogcat maybe? Any time you notice the icon suddenly appearing, save a copy of the logcat and comb through it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
alogcat may work. Figured out OSMonitor had something similar and filtered by app.

Now I just gotta wait I guess. Still not enough info to relate to IP though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
You should know that the data connection setting isn't an enforcement for the entire phone. It only acts as a notice to applications on whether or not to use data in the background.

Developers are supposed to respect those settings, but they are not enforced.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossy_k:
There is a free program called Network Statistics which is no longer in the market. I will backup the apk for you and upload it so you can use it. It shows the amount of data used by each app.

I too had a data hungry app issue and this helped me solve it immediately.

I'm just at work ATM, so I'll do it this evening. (Almost midday now here in Australia )

Cheers,

Ross
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
@JCopernicus

I am aware of this which is why I want to track this problem down.

@Ross

That sounds great. I appreciate the help. Not sure if tracking data usage is enough since I don't think the app is sending a lot of data. But I am willing to try anything.

I should be getting froyo soon so maybe that will help as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dictionary:
This is what I do when I want to ensure I don't use Data. Go I. To wireless connections. Mobile Networks, and then access points. Create a new one. I usually call it No Data. The for the apn, I just make something dumb, like no.data.com, and then save. After I'll select that as my apn.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
The issue is not about the use of the data connection. I have done this and can guarantee the phone cannot use any cell data network. The problem is an app is trying to use it anyway even when it is disabled. Even if you ignore that as a concerning activity the constant 3G searching reduces the battery life to a mere hours.

I appreciate the help, but my issue is not with how to disable the data connection. Its about identifying malware on my device, and tracking an app calls to a specific IP.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diversificationied:
Again,k 3g doesn't mean data. 3g is also used for voice.

If you only want to use "2g" switch your phone over to gsm only through 4636 or through the menu where it says "use 2g only".

You will never see the 3g icon again.

If you wan't to be 100% sure no app is calling an IP, then do a factory reset. Install apps one by one, monitor them through the various options given in this thread already.

You will not be able to prevent an application from "calling home" unless you modify the app itself. Apps use the data connection provided to them by the OS however they see fit.

Every app you install has a permissions prompt that will tell you it want's internet access.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
The Android "3G", "H", "E" or "G" icon denotes data. It may also appear temporarily when making the connection necessary to transmit MMS. It does not appear when the phone is using voice over 3G without a data connection.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottC:
Actually, this may be a T-Mobile issue - they just enabled the ability to do "pay as you go" data on ALL plans without a data plan, so they may be the ones turning on the ability to do data. You'd still need to authorize it in your browser, and I think it costs about $1/1MB so it is totally not worth it.

May be worth looking into because it wouldn't surprise me if their new "service" is screwing things up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I am aware of 3G voice but the 3G status icon is related to data flow. I have had the phone since launch and posted this because this behavior is not normal. Even Google was perplexed by what it is doing. And as I said it is not constrained by the 4636 settings.

And I disagree that an app can use the network connection as they see fit. Rights are given to perform its intended purpose; anything else is malicious.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiderPg:
I remember from when i had my Touch Diamond that different radios changed the signal strength and increased battery life and some other stuff, is this the case for the HD2 as well?

Also there's a lot a radios floating about, which one is the best?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demon_man:
ok before you get flamed, there is no better Radio, yes you can change them but there all different for everybody, look in the Radio thread may of helped

Let the flaming begin
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
TBF i have a touch diamond in my desk that has been heavily modified and with the diamond it is very much the case of there are 2 really good radios and the rest suck.

With the Leo on the other hand, it is very area and provider specific although most people tend use 2.10.50.18_2 or 2.11.50.20. There are some people using 2.12.50.2_2. I have tried that one and had some major issues with it so i'm sticking with 2.11.50.20 for now.

That should give you a starting block though. There is a radio thread somewhere so i would go check that out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuesdayd:
As has been said...it depends. Figure out where you spend the most time using the phone, and try different radios to see how they perform at that location or locations. A radio that works well at one location could be horrible in another. A different radio may work well in both locations.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiane79:
HD2 Radio

The best Radio out there for the HD2 is Leo_RADIO_2.12.50.02_2

@op,, as said above, you just gotta try them, see what works for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] r546:
It's really bothersome on the EVO how LED notifications only flash for 5 minutes then stop. Would love an app that creates its own LED notification and flashes it indefinitely until viewed. I know there are other notification apps on the market, but I'd prefer one that doesn't try to create other notifications (in the bar, pop-up, etc.). Something that JUST does LED, so I can then turn LED off in Settings, would be preferable.

Also would be nice to disable the LED while charging, or to be able to interrupt it, but I have a feeling this couldn't be done through the SDK.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] igobyzach:
I'm glad you posted this gripe, I have always wondered how long it will blink the LED but never thought to stop and time the LED- I would always clear whatever alert out of habit.:p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JLine05:
I would love for someone to be able to figure out how to do that. Its just too damn bright if you are using the phone while its charging and the lights are out (for example using it as an ereader.)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davebu:
I would like the LED to flash while charging for notifications, does anyone know what colors the EVO's LED can actually flash besides red, green, and orange?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:
I also would REALLY enjoy all of the previously noted requests. But I'd rather not root my Evo just yet...would it still be possible? (like, could this possibly just be an app?)

Hi:

I've installed ExquisiteV4[1].14e.23569.Sense2.5 on my HTC touch pro and the following are the problem I'm facing

1. I see notification window is appearing every now and then. Can anyone please help how to stop it as it disrupts my normal flow of work.

2. The wifi icon is disabled any idea?

3. The touch flow is not always working. Sometimes HTC accepts the touch sometimes it is not sensing any thing.

Please help to overcome the above problems.

Please help me out, this is my first time rooting anything and I would hate to brick my phone on my first try.. thank you so much in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirchuk:
I'm not entirely sure, but can you even root with today's OTA update applied? I know the first OTA update (on release day) you could still root, but I don't know about today's update allowing root or not. I know if you are rooted and apply today's update that it will break root.

Of all the days to decide to root, the day of an update after applying it isn't exactly the best of ideas.

[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
So apparently the "Samsung AMOLED" screens are being phased out because they cannot keep up with demand and they are replacing it with the "Sony Super TFT LCD" screen. I just ordered my incredible today and should get it in about a month :(

Am I getting ripped off with this other screen or is it still worth it? The only review I saw said the LCD is usually better in the sun, but worse on the battery. Not sure if resolution and clarity are the same. Probably won't get a good answer until the LCD Incs are out.
[Droid Incredible General] digitalicecream:
HTC isnt going to take a chance on the phone being less than "Incredible". You're not going to notice a difference unless you have another Incredible on hand to compare it to. Think of it as driving your own car, you'll never know that your buddies car is better than yours (stock) because it came with goodyear tires instead of michelins (or vice versa). The fact is that you're going to love the phone and you're going to love it even more when you can fully root and mod it to your hearts content. The whole screen "thing" is overblown media hype. I have a Droid and a dInc and to be honest the screens are beautiful on both and while the dInc has sharper, crisper colors unless I hold them side by side I always find myself toying with my wife's Droid because I love the battery life more.

Just remember to fully charge your dInc for four hours PRIOR to activating your phone or powering it on. So you can have 16 hours of use time (standby/talk mixed) as I was charging my phone three times a day for a little while.
[Droid Incredible General] Bxsteez:
They should just replace it with the Super AMOLED Display. I would rebuy an incredible for that. :D
[Droid Incredible General] contagous:
+1 good sir
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
if the new sony display is superior to the current samsung amoled one, HTC should let us send ours back to have it replaced either for free as part of the warranty or a small fee for the replacement, I would definately have mine replaced if I was given the option. ( assuming that the new sony display is better of course) I love the colors on the amoled screen but hate not being able to see the display in sunlight unless I turn the backlight all the way up.
[Droid Incredible General] gummehbear:
from my understanding the shortage on AMOLED displays is bc samsung is being greedy with them for their own phones. doubt they will give the better screens to HTC if this is true.

assuming htc can fix the underlying problems with the amoled version (grounding, charging, etc), you might want to hold on to your version very tightly.
[Droid Incredible General] Namolas:
Absolutely not. There are using the lesser Sony screens because they cant get the Samsung AMOLED screens fast enough, NOT because the Sony ones are better.
[Droid Incredible General] redifrogger:
- GrandMasterB

I kindly disagree - if I can see Sony's display in sunlight, then it is superior even is some crispness is lost.
[Droid Incredible General] Namolas:
I take my Incredible and its AMOLED screen with me on 4-wheeler rides 3-4 times a week and I can see the screen perfectly fine in direct sunlight. Is it as bright and visible as my Motorola Droid was? NO, but still very much usable.

Then combine that with the fact that the majority of my usage is indoors, as I would guess is the average users, then AMOLED is the clear winner. IMO

Different strokes for different folks.
[Droid Incredible General] RyanTX:
I will take the AMOLED FTW since I use it indoors 95% of the time. It really is hard to make out in direct sunlight but I deal with it since it is so beautiful indoors.
[Droid Incredible General] oxidant11:
Agree, amoled is amazing looking indoors, but either way I would still take this phone with or with out it.
[Droid Incredible General] marcmarshall:
I just got a replacement for a defective Incredible. How can I tell what type of display I have?
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
boot into bootloader and look at the build date, chances are you got an early build with the amoled screen, I am not even sure they started shipping the new ones yet, but I could be wrong. also if you bring it outside in bright sunlight and it gets hard to see then it is amoled. lcd is pretty easy to see in bright sunlight.
[Nexus One General] AverageCanadian:
I'm trying to purchase the N1 in the U.S. I'm from Canada but I live 2 minutes from the border. I tried ordering online and having it shipped to a U.S. address I use all the time but Google didn't seem to appreciate that and canceled my order and temporarily suspended my account.

I can only find reference to Tmo versions being sold at some outlets, but nothing for the ATT version.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Any reason you don't want to ship it to Canada? It got here the next day for me, and legally you need to pay taxes even if you are just driving over, don't you?

Edit with content relevant to your question: No, I don't think any store sell the 850 band Nexus One. Sorry :(

sorry but that sounds fishy.

Even as a foreigner you should be able to order it and ship it to a US address.

Yes technically you do, but I'll just tell them I bought it used.

From Google

I supplied them with emailed info but I zero idea if they have received anything or how long it takes to clean up the mess. Beyond that one email I have received nothing else from Google, extremely frustrating and there is no phone number to call.

I can see why selling the N1 online was such a failure.

Have you downloaded the newest version of busybox in the marked? This gives you a lot more commands then the first version posted with the initial root, one if them is vi.

I did this:

Download bash binary from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537827

You can either replace the default "sh" with this (warning: the "sh" binary is the one that gives you root privileges in the first place, so you might loose them, I'm about to experiment with this and would post more details soon) or keep them both.
