[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filipharvey:
I'm sorry, but that is just rubbish.

I've had Nokia's since bluetooth was first released, and they have always been discoverable. Their battery hasn't been worn down by that either.

If bluetooth is on but not discoverable, then your device is constantly looking for those devices that it has been paired with before. If it is discoverable, then other devices can pick up on this and locate your phone - same battery usage, surely.

Take for example now, I'm sat in a public area and I can search for devices. The devices that show up are therefore discoverable, no? In that case, plenty of devices are discoverable.

To be discoverable and hidden behind a password is no issue, and it amazed me that Android missed this out. It was infact one of the things I disliked about Blackberry.

It doesn't kill battery (any more than having undiscoverable bluetooth on), and it is a useful service - if a friend (who hasn't accessed my device before) wishes to send me a file, I don't expect to have to pull out my phone, tell it that it can expect a file, before accepting the password and waiting for said file. It's just an extra, unnecessary step.

What is the point of having bluetooth on, if no other device (other than those with previous access) can see it?

"Someone is trying to send you a file" is all you need. That is what happens in 'discoverable' mode. That is what Android is missing.

yes its a shame on x10 too is smart phone weakness. x10 kick a//
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adwinp:
The setting you're searching for is in /system/etc/bluetooth/main.conf

DiscoverableTimeout = 0

The default is 120 (2 minutes). 0 will stay on forever.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VandaL^:
Actually I found that in /etc/bluez/main.conf with root explorer but how to edit that value to 0?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chukkie:
mount the folder as r/w and if you long press, choose to open in text editor :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VandaL^:
Tnx dude, I forgot to long press on file, what I did was open the file and than try to edit. :) But I've edited the value now to 0 or 600, reboot phone and when bt is on discoverable again shows only 120 seconds?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HomerSp:
Could you check if the value in the file also has been reverted?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VandaL^:
I check instantly after I saw that he shows 120 seconds and the value was 0.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cturbos:
hi all

will you please show a step by step how to configure the bluetooth discoverable time.

thank you

So in a few areas including my work which is off of falkenburg and mlk. I can't get past obtaining ip.today I just get connecting.I've tried different things but no go...anyone else in tampa area
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
Thats interesting because I was recently in Orlando,Fl (East Colonial for fellow Floridians). I was playing with my amazing EVO and stumbled across a 4g network. I tried connecting but it wouldn't obtain an IP. I figured maybe my 4g on my phone was broken from a ROM or something. Or could it be a wireless network that the 4g is picking up? I have an Airave (free :D) and that only sends 3g signal so where is this mysterious Florida 4G coming from???!?!?!?!?!?
[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
I have been playing with this tampa signal for a while now. From what I understand there is a 4g like signal coming from some military communications system, also I have been told its the same thing in orlando. The orlando signal has something to do with the military and the lockheed martin plant there. Not sure how true it is but my source works in communications in central command at macdill afb. Fyi clearwire is the provider for this military system.

Sent on my Sprint EVO using 4G speed
[EVO 4G General] rmig825:
Same thing here in orlando, The 4g signal is pooping up everywhere, Sources tell me it will be live the first week of august. Right now in time, the only people that can connect to it are the technicians that can manually connect to the IP for testing. It will be offically live in september, but they will open the ip adresses in the first week of august. And Yes you are right on the Clearwire thing, thats the signal we are picking up.
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
I can't pick it up bc of broken 4G due to a custom ROM but my coworker here in Maitland, close to Orlando, picked it up today. I'm heading home after work to fix my 4G :-D

Sent telepathically via my Evo.

[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
Well if sources hold true that'd be great! Too bad I live in Lake County :P No 4g n probably never will here but wicked fast 3G in Okahumpka!

[Touch HD General] man415:
Hi Guys!:D

I just traded my iphone to a HTC HD as I love the huge screen and wanted to have a change.The problem is that every time I switch it on, the HTC logo is discolored and same goes with the Windows 6.1( the green screen ) All I'm doing is push the power button off and on again and it the screen will be ok. I'm not sure if the previous owner did with this HD but I would like to have it fixed?I tried hard reset already but still the same.

Anybody have the same experience before or knows how to fix it? There are no other issues actually aside from that.

Hope you guys can help me out:confused:
[Touch HD General] Sopis:
As far as I remember this display discolorment had to do something with bad flash..

Try to reflash the ROM or flash another one...

there are tons of guides on this forum so just google how to flash...you should be ok then...
[Touch HD General] man415:
Thanks Sopis!

I'll look for it. hopefully won't be so complicated. Noobie in WM phones.. :)

[HD2 General] ppag69:
Can anyone help me change the size limit for sending files via MMS? I would like to be able to send mp3's but I keep getting error message that the sending limit is exceeded even though I keep shrinking the size...:confused:
[HD2 General] watcher64:
The max size for TMO is 1024k, there are some threads on it, If not here over in the main Leo forum, I don't have the links, you could find them as fast as I could ...
[HD2 General] zelendel:
On the messaging tab click all messages.....menu....settings.....menu....server settings.......scroll down and change the limit
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
Do realize that TMobile itself though imposes a limit through their network. The best bet would be emailing them, even if you have to use wifi to do it.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Yes I do relize it as ATT has one to. But T-mobiles is bigger and the last option is the T-mobile max as to where ATT is maxed at 600k
[HD2 General] glcK23:
You must be boo boo the fool, zelendel was giving him directions on how to increase the mms sending limit, that is if his sending limit was set to something other than 1024k...:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] Phantoms:
And you realize that he was wanting to send MP3s over MMS and most MP3s exceed the TMobile limit, don't you? Thus I pointed out that increasing the size in the phone settings may still not get the OP what he wants, which is to send MP3s over MMS. ;)
[HD2 General] ppag69:
Thanks...

Thanks for all the replies, for some reason I couldn't change my sending limit to 1024k cause it was greyed out. But I soft resetted and now it's fine. I was hoping there was a way to go past the 1024k limit. But I guess not...:cool:
[HD2 General] danxtian:
use regeditor, then HKLM--> Software---> Jataayu---> MMS----> Profile---> 000---> there's suppose to be a "LOCK" settings, turn it to "0" then you'll be able to change the setting to 1024k. and it won't be greyed out anymore.
[HD2 General] montecarlo5:
or you can just install this cab and not have do the regediting
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
Does anyone know how to install this on the aria?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
It's best to flash your Aria to a Liberated ROM. You can find it within the forums here. Since I can't post links yet. This will root the device and SuperUser will be added.

Not sure about that app. It looks like it does the same thing as the SU that comes in the Liberated ROM by attn1, just without the few extra options.
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
I tried booting into clockwork and mounting the system partition and doing this:

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

adb push su /system/xbin

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

adb reboot

but when it rebooted the superuser app did nothing at all. No prompt or nothing running apps that needs su. I had usb debugging enabled. So I just restored a nand backup.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Might be a dumb question, but did you do adb remount ?
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
I used clockwork to mount the system partition. When I tried it with just adb remount it wouldn't mount the system partition. I would always get "Not a directory" error. But when clockwork mounted the partition it wrote the files fine with no error. When I rebooted the superuser icon and version were different than the one that came with the liberated rom.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
I'm trying this now, I'll report back when I do it. I'll try a few different apps that require SU
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
I did the commands it said, I see the new icon, and when I press 'Menu', it shows the prefrences, but when I click it, it freezes the app.
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
It's probably not compatible with our phone yet.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Could be, but I'm pretty sure it does work, because if I remember correctly, Titanium Backup needs SU permissions, and I haven't encountered any kind of errors with it yet.
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
I see you posted on the thread for the program itself. Hopefully someone there will have a response.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Yeah, I'm hoping to get a response to it. We will see.
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
The newer version 2.2.2 works.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Awesome, ill give it a shot a little later.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Tried the newer version, and I get the same issues.
[HTC Aria General] jznomoney:
How did you install this one? I booted in to clockwork and selected install from zip file on sd and selected that file on my sd card.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
I just did it through adb. I'll give that method a shot.
[HTC Aria General] darkstarinc:
Looks like after doing your method, it works perfect now. Not sure why using adb doesn't work.

[EVO 4G Accessories] gx1400:
I'm an electrical engineer and I have the $7 insuarance. Worst that can happen is I fry my phone, say I lost it, and pay the deductible for a new phone.

This may be worth the $50 risk to be able to charge without plugging in a cable every night.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PLESTIUC:
yeah, sounds tempting but I'm not an electrical engineer nor do I have the TEP insurance yet, nor would I be willing to pay the $100 deductible if I had the insurance.

still tempting though. is it that risky to do it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] gx1400:
I thought the TEP was a $50 deductible?

If you're ok with soldering, it should be a really easy job. If you've never soldered electronics... probably not.
[EVO 4G Accessories] davebu:
$50 deductible for flip phones, $100 for smartphones/featurephones. also, the ones with the $50 deductible are $4/month i think.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
I am actually doing this right now with a Palm PIXI touchstone back ($6 at Radio Shack BTW)

I have added pressure joints (taking apart an old SIM card for the sturdy golden pads) so that you never need to solder to the inducting circuit. This makes it so that you can FULLY take off the back over. Just some thin double sided tape and electrical tape does the job. Used 28AWG teflon coated SPC for my internal wiring.

I am waiting for my Touchstone docks to come in for testing, but I have high hopes.

I have insurance and its not my first time at modding the internals of a portable (iPods, iPod Touch, iPhone). Plus this just makes it soo much cooler. Have a solar panel I plan on adding too, just haven't figured out a way to make it look good yet which is a big requirement IMO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PLESTIUC:
can you post some pics please? thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] scirio:
Ordered! I'm so doing this.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Yeah! Absolutely, once I make sure that it actually works like it is supposed to!

I am moving this weekend, so at the earliest it will be a week.

LOL, more more use for old cellphone crap (SIM CARD from old ATT phone)....
[EVO 4G Accessories] PLESTIUC:
got my order today. wasn't this thing supposed to come with a usb cable included? there is only the dock in the box and the cover in a separate box. :confused:

O guess it uses one of those very small mini usb plugs and I don't have a cable for it laying around
[EVO 4G Accessories] gx1400:
I wonder what kind of efficiency the set up has compared to the stock covers for the palm devices. As the coil moves away from the touchstone it will lose power exponentially as the distance increases.

I have Ghost Armor on my Evo, so I can go without a case, but I imagine any case (even as thin as a Seidio Innocase II would be too thick for it to be efficient.

Once I get back to school where I have my soldering iron and dremel, I'm going to try to modify a silicone or ebay-cheapo case and try to inset it with the coil, wires, and try to make my own 90-degree flush mounted micro-usb plug in the bottom. This way you could charge it through the USB using the touchstone, but you wouldn't have to worry at all about opening up the phone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PLESTIUC:
so anyone have a go at this hack yet?
[EVO 4G Accessories] jmstansell:
Just finished mine last night....

I didn't actually solder mine to the board. I put my wire on the positive contact on the board and my negative on the negative screw contact. Put the case back together and taped the positive and negative to the contacts on the pixi charger. Its working like a charm!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Well guys, the ebay seller i bought a couple of docks from has obviously dropped the ball. Time for Amazon....
[EVO 4G Accessories] vicko5000:
i did the exact same thing and it turned out fine.. I had the solder gun ready to go but for some reason i couldnt get the solder to stick to the phone.. i guess im a semi newbie when it comes to soldering either way..

Anyway , I think this way is very stable and is completely reversible with no signs of anything having been done.. I feel stupid for only having ordered one touchstone when it was $10!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Guys, This is FANTASTIC and definitely makes for the best car mount EVER! You just stick your phone on he touchstone and go. The touchstone seems to be able to be mounted near anywhere with that semi sticky pad on the bottom and yo can use command adhesive strips anywhere else. It also looks really slick on a black console (mins is and its soft touch too). I have it placed at a 45 degree angle area in the top middle of my main console and it sticks great. The Evo with the palm Pixi back holds on tight and does not come off even with my driving.

I found out that this still works and bought two more touchstones for the house.

Vehicle Charger + Palm Touchstone for $10 shipped!
[EVO 4G Accessories] OgremustCrush:
I'd probably do this (as my previous phone was a Pre so I already have the back and touchstone) but I just don't care to have my compass not work because of the magnets.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
The compass while off of the charger still works, just not quite a fast. There ARE NO MAGNETS in the inductive charging back. They are just pieces of steel. They become like magnets when placed on the Touchstone charger. When not charging, it is the same as it always was.

Besides how often do you need a compass in your car or home where a GPS would not be better?

The magnets in the base also do not affect the GPS at all. I have the phone on the Touchstone in my car while running the GPS and have no issues.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TickLe MY eLMo:
So, there is no need to solder correct? Seems people say electrical tape will do the trick, really want to try it but i missed the deal. Anyone confirming this besides one or two guys?

[EVO 4G Accessories] deuce300:
My EVO has held up perfectly fine since the Touchstone mod. Its absolutely the best thing I have done with my EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
The charger works fine, but I switched to the clear door with rails and medalion removed....then switched back to the original door. Now, the back side clips are broken. The harder acrillic door "bent" the internal edges which left less grip. Plus I was removing the door often.

Still, it is a totally worthwhile mod especially for the car. Use the pixi door though as the pixi door uses a flexi pcb which is thinner and more durable for our rounded back.

I saw that you don't have to solder and I don't plan on it unless I know I need to and I know it will work.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
Do a trace of the 5V line from the cable with the battery removed from the phone.

1. Connect your microUSb cable

2. Look at pinout.ru and find which is the 5V line

3. Use your multimeter in the "beep" mode to find where the 5V line in from the charging port can be tapped into.

4. Solder the positive to the 5V line and then he ground line to one of the screw posts (easiest)

You can do this procedure for any device tp add this charger into it.
