[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrinehart93:
I recently just got my Airave from Sprint (after getting all the fees for it waived :D), and I got it all hooked up, and it finished downloading its updates (all blue, non-flash LED's). Now, my sister says she gets full bars, yet I (on CyanogenMOD) don't get full bars... I have -99dBm. When I call though, I DO get the double-beep at the start of the call, which lets me know I am using the Airave. During the call, my signal seems to bump up (denoted by bars... haven't checked the dBm). My question though, is shouldn't I be having better signal in the first place without calling? Isn't the airave broadcasting signal 24/7?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenpoman:
i also got one and on rc0 it shows -75dbm and full bars
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muppetman462:
I have an airave also at my house. I don't get full bars until I make a phone call. It's been that way since I got the device. As long as you are getting a clear call, that's all that matters.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theotherone:
no bars till on call....

i also have a hero and running rc0 w/ an airave at the house.

no bars until on the call, but i disagree that it doesn't matter until the call....

for incoming calls if i have no bars when the call comes in, the phone doesn't ring and goes straight to voicemail, meaning missed calls.

that was the main point of getting the airave.

any reason why the device doesn't pick up the airave before a call? (i updated the radio base recently, and that showed no improvement)

anybody got any thoughts?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneStepAhead:
Im having trouble figure out a good way to silence the EVO when its ringing. Flipping it over doesn't work. On my iPhone i could just keep hitting volume down while it was ringing to lower it until it eventually went off, or i could flip the vibrate switch. How can I do it on the EVO without rejecting the call? Assume the phone is locked when its ringing so a screen widget is no good, plus I want to do it with the power button or the volume rocker so I don't actually have to look at the phone. Any tips? Thanks!

edit: i guess you can silence the ringer with the power button or the volume down button. the problem is im using an app called "say my name" which says the callers name, and pressing power or vol down doesnt silence the app. damn! don't want to get rid of say my name... what to do what to do...

[myTouch 3G Slide Accessories] UnkzDomain:
Yup. Mine came very loose with the phone so I'm going to try to get a replacement from HTC under warranty since T-mobile counts it as an "accessory" so it's not covered in the 2-year carrier warranty... if not, I'll just get a case and wait it out until the floodgates open.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Seifer1975:
It started when I noticed that the GMail app on the phone can only receive all the emails every morning when I reboot the phone. So I destroyed the connection and tried to recreate. Bad move, I have not been able to connect since.

Everytime I keyed in the credentials to sign-in, when creating a sync account, it will spin for a few minutes before saying that it cannot establish a connection to the server. This has happened for a week already and regardless if I am using data or wifi.

Anyone can help?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
make sure the ports are right 993 and 465

if you have trouble with imap, then use pop as the last alternative.

if you have the Exchange program installed, you can use gmail as an exchange server as well.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Seifer1975:
I can connect to Gmail using imap. But when I try to create a sync account, it always fails to establish a connection. Not sure if there's any connection but this seems to happen only after I have rooted the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rahduke:
Im having the same issue with stock gmail app. Of course tmo was no help. Gmail will not sync, just spins the sync icon over n over and makes the phone hot.
[Captivate General] DraxusD:
Is there any method/hack to use some of the samsung widgets with Launcher Pro or any other launcher for that matter? I really dislike the samsung launcher but I'd like to use their feed widget for twitter as I've yet to find another good scrollable one.
[Captivate General] pongothemagnificent:
Thats not possible simply because the touchwiz widgets are withing the touchwiz UI, the come as a hole not as separate packages, hence they can only be install on the touchwiz launcher.
[Captivate General] loweb1:
That's too bad. Does anyone know of a similar widget to Touchwiz's feed widget out there? I really liked the way it lets you scroll both facebook and twitter but I love ADW way too much to go back.
[Captivate General] DraxusD:
Yeah the feed widget is what I was hoping for as well... closest thing I've found is Pure Messenger
[Captivate General] davidusr:
A bit off topic, but how do I get Launcher Pro back as the default launcher? While trying to get Kies to work, I made TW the default launcher, not realizing you can't turn off TW the same way. Or do I have to reinstall LP and lose my settings.

[Captivate General] derek4484:
I did this too, I think I went into the manage applications menu under TWlauncher and clicked the button that said clear defaults. I believe thats how I fixed it. Then after that hit the home button and the choice to use launcher pro or twlauncher again.
[Captivate General] davidusr:
I tried that initially. No TWLauncher showing in the list...hit the menu button and found the filter option. Selected "show all" and there it was. Thanks!

[Captivate General] carporsche:
hi

Your observations are exactly reflecting my opinion (minus the nexus one : captivate is my very first smart phone).

I am facing all the issues u hav mentioned

1. The bars keep varying a lot but i am inclined to believe that its a software problem bcoz i never had a drop call with the zero signal. But today morning my calls were continuously dropping. It could be an isolated incident though bcoz after tht the calls did not drop.

2. To verify the fact that the signal bars could.be misleading i made quite a number of calls, was on the speaker during the calls. I was observing the signal strength menu ( the one tht shows in dB) and to my surprise ii was still on call when the strength showed 0 dB . The signal strength indicated zero for more than a minute on multiple calls but the calls did not drop.

3. GPS issue is very significant but i am confident that will be fixed.

4. And yes i too found a significant gap in the hardware where dust is already accumalating. The charging port too does not look very sturdy.

Having said all this i really love this phone and am thinking most of the aoftware issues can definitely be resolved.

WRT hardware this phone is the most powerful in terms of graphix too and i can only imagine the awesome performance when running froyo.

I think i am gonna get my phone replaced. But definitely not thinking of switching to any other phone.

[Captivate General] madjsp:
generally the dust gets inbetween the screens. But since they are together in the new Super Amoled, i don't think there will be dust inbetween the screen!
[Captivate General] Sizzip:
Hi Angermeans,

Regarding the GPS issue, did you try the fix from the Vibrant forums? If not, go check it out. The thread is called "Gps fix 101" in the Samsung Vibrant section of the forums. Also, before you do that enable the "Use Wireless Networks" setting under Location and Security settings, if you haven't already done so.

I too had the GPS issues and once I did what was written on there (and added the Cold Start option, as you can see in my post there, you might not need to do that), my GPS locks on in seconds, I even got a lock indoors. I also locked while driving 70mph on the freeway. At home, I compared it side-by-side to an iPhone 4 and it seemed the same. I really hope it helps you out, it's lame to have the excitement towards this awesome phone dampened like this....I hope AT&T (and Tmobile) and Samsung address this crap...it's a shocker why they even let the phone get released with this bug...this phone deserves better than this
[Captivate General] angermeans:
You know what I really didn't even think of that! I did read somewhere that the super AMOLED was going to be losing part of the screen and really that was my biggest concern especially since I have spent the better part of the last five mo

nths fighting with dust trying to get under my screen with my rooted nexus one. Thanks for sharing that information that helps put my mind at ease as I swear I read that it is impossible to get dust under samsungs super AMOLED screen.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I've taken apart multiple nokia phones because of dust, and it is because there is a gap between both screens. With these, it is air free. That is why they are able to make the screen so thin. I prefer not having the gap, because if you look well enough, you can see the two screens.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
With "Use Wireless Networks" enabled under Location and Security settings I've always been able to get a lock within a second or two, but it doesn't seem to be a strong lock. In Google Nav, the GPS accuracy circle around my car will randomly appear, get bigger, and then disappear, and it will occasionally think I'm off the road or will take a second to catch up after I've turned. It's usable, but I wish it was better. Hopefully it can be fixed by a software update.
[Captivate General] angermeans:
No I didn't but I just read something about that on a thread just a little while ago I'll haveto check that out tomorrow especially since it worked for you thanks for sharing that. This is why I love the android community and XDA forums. Now most off my concerns are put to rest and I can continue to enjoy this phone. Now time to worry about bigger problems like when samsung is going to push froyo out to this beast! I have been spoiled using the nexus one. Do all you guys have your phones rooted? I was holding off until I decided if I was going to take this phone in for another captivate.
[Captivate General] angermeans:
Yeah you are right I read somewhere tonight that some people think that samsyng did this on purpose to save battery life I'll try to find the thread and post it tomorrow. Hopefully its not a ****ty GPS chip in the phone I can't imagine samsung going top off the line in everything else in this phone and then cheaping out on a chip but then again google and HTC did the same thing with the nexus ones screen so you never know when it comes to high end android phones. I have yet to see any of the top of the line android phones ber perfect they all seem to have some problem especially HTC.
[Captivate General] clubtech:
I bought the case sold at the at&t store and that solved the losing bars issue.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I posted in a different thread that I changed and tweaked my gps settings and it was spot on unless i was by a tree the size of a house.

I was very happy with it for my 2 mile drive. I will use it tomorrow since I need to navigate somewhere I've never been and update on here.

How do i install HTC Sense ui on HTC Magic 32B?

Do i need a different ROM or can this be installed with Cyanogenmod?

I tried to download the HTC android phone rom update utility from the htc site but it says Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.

By reading The ROM Bible, finding a 32b rom, maybe read a little about the rom, download, do a nandroid backup and then flash away.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] starmena:
So it seems to me that this is a problem on ALL Android devices that I have tested with. Here's the situation

I have a router in my house in which I have DHCP turned off so my device will grab an IP (Not Static) and DNS from the ISP. I need to find a way to be able to just change the DNS Settings to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 on android without having to manually put in an IP since the IP will automatically get changed every few day's.

Android doesn't seem to let me do that. Does anyone know how? Going into the Advance Menu in the Wifi settings and changing the dns does not actually change anything... I noticed this on the following android devices as well: Moto Cliq, MyTouch 3g, old Kaiser running android on NAND, and my Rhodium Devices running android.

Any reason as to why Android isn't updating my DNS Settings? Any help would be appreciated.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] [ L ]:
I really like the HTC Sense clock/weather widget, and was wondering if someone could give me a file that I can download directly with my phone. I use a Droid (rooted) and I do not want one of the widgets from the market, I don't have any money.

Could someone also give me a Sense live wallpaper that I could also download with my phone?

Thanks!

-L
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] hettbeans:
HTC Sense widgets don't function outside of the HTC Sense framework, meaning they don't work on phones without Sense UI. It's been this way since the original Hero came out and they've never been successfully ported.

Fortunately, this has largely been solved as the Weather Widget Donate, Fancy Widget and Beautiful Widget all supply working alternatives, but as you're without money, I'd say you're **** out of luck.

Edit: As far as the live wallpaper goes, HTC's devices use a slightly smaller vertical resolution than Motorola's phones. The live wallpaper doesn't work for this reason (and possibly others).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] n1ghtwish:
search the net for Fancy Widget - it looks EXACTLY like the HTC Sense clock
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L_Mo:
I'm running Fresh 1.0.1, with netarchy's 3.7.2a FPS fix kernel, and the "frozen eclair" JIT for eclair.

When I first boot, maps with GPS on works fine. If I restart maps a few times in the first few minutes it still works fine. However, if I let my phone sit for 30 minutes or so, when I open Maps with GPS, the screen just goes black and the phone restarts. I can start Maps just fine if GPS is disabled.

For awhile I thought it was due to overclocking with setcpu, but I disabled automatic root access so setcpu can't run and still get this issue. Any thoughts are appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaunneutron:
My phone started doing the same thing (hard reboot when opening anything that used GPS) last night and after several wipes and reloads and a new SD card, it was still doing it. I was starting to worry that it was a hardware problem. I was on the road today and my wife emailed me a fix she found online:

Step one, call Sprint and get your msl code (unlock code).

Step two open the phone dialer and press ##GPSCLRX#

Step three input the code given to you from sprint (phone will reboot in 20 seconds)

It worked for me and its been almost 12 hours without a reboot. I don't know the source for this fix, so I am sorry that I can't give credit where it is due. Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bikinibottom100:
Hi, I have got my hands on a HTC Touch Pro 2 for work for a few months and have to give it back in the same condition as it is.

It has got WM 6.1 on it and I am more of a 6.5.3 fan. If i did upgrade to 6.5.3, does a 'Hard Reset' on the phone bring it back down to the state it currently was in i.e. 6.1??

Thanks for your help.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xicloe:
no, hard reset is just make Your phone back to default winmo 6.5.3
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
To clarify, maybe:

A hard-reset reloads fresh whatever OS-ROM you most-recently flashed -- your current ROM, in other words -- not any previous ROM.

But there are 6.1 stock roms available that you could flash before you returned it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] alphamancer:
Here is my issue. I'm stuck on AT&T. I am contemplating buying the slide, rooting it and using it on AT&T (in b4: at&t sucks), and well... I am just stuck between getting the touch pro 2 and the 3g slide. I am a long time user of HTC (kaiser, wizard), and I love the way the phones run, but they just don't seem to get any faster. And android is more conducive to getting good apps. WinMo just doesn't have the development like android does. So my issue is.. Is the slide worth getting? I have also heard that the slide won't run on AT&T's 3G network... Any hotfixes for that? That's kind of an important issue I suppose.. Anyways, any slide users from AT&T have any feedback / anyone compared the touchpro 2 to the slide? I've been scouring google looking for comparisons but nothing insightful has come up. Thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Can't help you on comparing phones, but the slide will not do 3G on AT&T's network. The radio operates at different frequencies for 3G than what AT&T uses, there is nothing you can do to make it work.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] beazie0885:

Why don't you just go with the aria.my wife has the mt3g slide and I have the aria. Theres not much of a difference between the two except size and a keyboard. The aria is a beast. Don't let the size fool ya.also they have the new samsung galaxy and I think a dell streak that's supposed to be pretty good too.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] alphamancer:
I had the aria, and it's not condusive to texting. I went and sold it for $350 on ebay and was going to buy the slide until I realized it doesn't support AT&T's 3g network.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ellessidil:
Look into the Galaxy. I had the joy of playing around with one, and am seriously debating on if I want to sell my Slide and grab one. Wonderful hardware, amazing battery life for the hardware in it, and I have never seen a display that made things look so nice.

My only gripe is the lack of a physical keyboard, but Swype does a damn fine job of handling most of my texting needs, only hassle is dealing with terminal and typing in commands.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] beazie0885:
Yea, did you try swype? It makes typing a breeze on the smaller screen. But by all means go check your att store for the galaxy or the dell streak. They are very high end devices. But also no keyboard :(
