[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbies:
Hi people, 2 questions please.

1) I am trying to personalize a custom ROM by including a few apks into /data/app and signing the zip. Upon flashing, everything boots up fine. However my custom apps do not appear to be installed, same method used to work when I was on custom Eclair ROM. Appreciated if someone can shed some light on this.

2) Also is there anyway I can edit a settings file in a ROM to auto detect the GSM network and retrieve the APNs accordingly immediately after flashing? I have tried editing /system/etc/apns-conf.xml and correcting my provider's APN settings without much success. Solved: Found double entries for my provider's APN in apns-conf.xml :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I want to disable/manage the auto connection.

When I have a Wifi connection I want to use it, and only when I do not have wifi (I'm not at home) I want use my 3G/GSM connection.

Anyone get a suggestion?

Many thanks

Have used app "Nodata" for a while to control connections.....but I have to admit it is not installing well on my newest Rom. I have attached anyway....perhaps works for you.

There are perhaps other programs which do the same....if I find something will report back....

[Galaxy S I9000 General] wfhowell:
I currently have a Captivate with ATT but would like the added features of the I9000 unlocked version, like front facing cam and the FM radio.

Will the I9000 work with the ATT network. I realize that there are a few differences in the bands that each use, but want the I9000 to work the same as the Captivate. 3g etc.

Anyone have anything on this?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
I am currently using the i9000 on at&t with a new contract (still on my 30-day return policy for the contract). I still have some testing to do with it. One thing that is important to note is that the i9000 will only get 3g in areas with 1900mhz 3g, NOT the 850mhz 3g. Also, the i9000 will be a lot more expansive then the captivate.

edit: Gosh I hate typos.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wfhowell:
oh...thanks..i live in the dallas area..ill check to see if we have 1900

if you are interested. Bell Mobility in Canada will release a version that looks pretty much like the EUR version

it is however still called the Vibrant

you will have to first unlock the handset before using it on another carrier
[Captivate General] cropythy:
If I hold my phone normally (near the bottom) my signal plummets, is this normal or do I have a lemon?? It is really worrying me, if I grab it near the bottom I go from 3 to 0 but still have service but I am still without bays and my data slows. I don't know if this is normal and I should just accept it or if I should go exchange it.
[Captivate General] alaiwy:
I haven't been able to produce the "death grip" effect even when I have tried to.
[Captivate General] jpeg42:
Mine does the same in my house with a pretty weak signal. However, unlike my iPhone 4 (I am a happy convert to android now) which dropped calls and data went to 0, the Captivate seems to keep the connection. Even with zero bars, I get decent data speeds and people say I am loud and clear on the phone.

I wouldn't stress over it. The antenna has to be located somewhere in these phones, and yeah, covering it completely will cause a signal drop. Just be happy the antenna is on the inside and you can't short it with your skin :D
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
I get the same thing, but I think where I work is a dead zone, because my old phone had problems holding a signal also. I'll do some more testing when I'm out of here
[Captivate General] cropythy:
OK, I will do more testing and make a final decision next week since I am going out of state to a place I know has good coverage and if I get bad signal there it is probably my phone and not coverage area.
[Captivate General] tysj:
I have to completely cover the metal back to drop a couple of bars. Even then, it still performs about the same in speedtests.
[Captivate General] cropythy:
It is not the metal back you need to cover on my phone but instead the plastic below the back...
[Captivate General] tysj:
Tried it this way as well and the results were even closer together.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
It's the way Samsung is programming the bars. They underestimate signal strength believe it or not.. it's not like the iPhone where it gives you this crazy readout (before 4.0.1).. it's still wrong, but in the best way possible.
[Captivate General] Mantooth:
Dropping calls like crazy with Captivate

I was just on a very important call about a new job and my captivate dropped the call 4 times within 15 minutes. I was holding the phone only on the outside. I was not touching the bottom or the back of the phone. How frustrating. It even drops calls when I am using my headset. Just dropping all the time. Any suggestions?
[Captivate General] gruvngyrl:
I can get the bars to drop one or two when I hold the phone at the bottom, however (and this is a BIG however!) even with 0 bars, I was just able to make a phone call, and while the signal bounced from 2 to 1 to 0 to 1 bars, the call didn't drop or even so much as hiccup.

As heygrl said, it seems however Samsung calculates their bars, the phones are displaying a lot less signal strength than they actually have, which is a good thing in my book. It's a nice surprise to look at your screen, see 0 bars, desperately try to make a call anyway, and have it go through!
[Captivate General] heygrl:
Sounds like the AT&T network to me.

Yeah you can see how Samsung reinterprets the phones recieved signal strength under the Service Menu. I also suspected that the reason why we only see -81dBm max and not -51dBm like the Captivate is because Samsung didn't completely readjust the scaling and just cut off one visible bar. Under the Service Menu (Antenna/ADC or something of the sort) you can see where it says "Antenna bar: 5" when we clearly only have 4. The same goes for actual signal strength, you can see a very usable 10 RSSI but Samsung designed the bars to show that as "0" instead of 1.
[Captivate General] eightysixfilms:
I do notice that when I'm in areas that are 1-2 bars, giving the phone the deathgrip does kill the signal totally. But when I'm out in full service I can hold it any way and no problem.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nolsen311:
It's because the "fingerprint" of the OS no longer matches a "known" fingerprint. This is a setting in build.prop, which is usually either fixed by faking a known version or waiting until app devs "whitelist" your fingerprint.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] igorcb:
I live in Bolivia, my cellular provider is Tigo.

I own and HTC Touch pro2 (AT&T HTC Tilt2) and I had this problem: Involuntary internet connections happen in my phone, my cellular provider has billed me 16 MB for internet navigation in a single day. Their explanation is that probably phone has connected in background using an application. I know the touch flo interface connects to download e-mail headers and weather reports, but I find difficult that this application can use 16MB What can be happening?

As I said all the 16MB were downloaded in a single day and the last 3MB in 5 minutes after downloading internet connection.

Besides the default applications I have just installed pocket e-sword, a bible reader that does not connect to Internet

Is there an application that downloads this quantity of information?

If so, how can I disable it?

Is there any way to see which is the server where my cell connected and what it was doing?

Is there any way to set up my phone with a max download data amount?

The solution that the cell provider gave me momentanially is to disable my internet conection, but that is not exactly what I want.

Thanks on advance.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] undefined:
Well if you are using Sense, it downloads weather if you dont have it set not to. You might also want to disable the "Get my location at anytime" feature, because it may use AGPS. But I really dont know what else would cause this other than the fact that it is Windows, and it loves its TCP/IP. but the best thing to do would be to use MoDaco - No data to disable the data connections, then when you want to use them just turn them back on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] igorcb:
Thank you

What's MODACO???

How do I disable "Get my location at anytime" ???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SilentlyScreaming:
Modaco is another website with a forum.

Not sure if this is the latest version, but a quick google of this site turned up the Modaco No Data cab attached to this thread.

btw, you could use something like the SPB GPRS monitor to keep an eye on when internet connections are being made, and how much data is being down/uploaded. If you check task manager when you see a connection being made, perhaps we can trace where the data is being requested. I believe there is a demo version available of this program. I've not yet got a TP2, but can at least confirm that this monitor works fine on a TyTn II. You'll need to tell it which connection to monitor. Battery Status plugin for the today screen should apparently also do the trick.

If you ever get really desperate, you could always use WiFi at home to test without involving spending more, and use your PC to sniff the packets, check for what IP addresses and types of data are being requested. There maybe an app to do this directly on your phone, but I've not looked.
[General Questions and Answers] buffalosolja42:
I was thinking and can't remember where I posted it before, but it seems that all of windows mobile devices for the most part lack one think available ram, now I was wondering if a developer or everyday tinker person could create this. As we all know all of the new MS OS available have a feature called ready boost that allows you to use an usb flash drive with the same size to increase or double your available ram similar to the use of swap in linux. Now if were able to partition our sd disk to a portion being the size of the available ram and would make device see it maybe this could increase the lifespan of older devices and increase performance. I believe this can be achieved because I am able to boot an entire android rom off my sd card. And with the community effort this can be achieved. If you guys think this is a worthy opportunity please let me know though I don't program I will do what I can to help. Thanks in advanced.

So i got an Evo like last week...I love it, I truly do, except for the low battery which I bought a second one, so no big deal.

Anyways, I love having modded things and I have modded everything from my old HTC Wizard to my PSP. So I am really interested in CyanogenMod or other ROMS.

The thing is though, I downloaded a bunch of apps and synced a bunch of data, and just got the phone look the way I like. My question is...Is there a way to save all the stuff to my SD, so that when I install a new ROM, that all the data and apps and etc is all there? The second part of the question is...should i just wait till EVO gets official 2.2?

I just really don't want to lose my stuff and start over.

[Captivate General] p8ntballsk8ter94:
It's still unknown... The advertisement of this through ATT or samsung about an FM chip is non existent.

As far as the developers have been going about this, there have been a lot of signs that it's not existent. If you go about the threads, there are some posts about complete tear downs. Putting the two tear downs side by side, the FM chip hasn't been seen in the captivate where you would find in the galaxy-s (I believe the layout of the PCB is slightly different, but they couldn't find any chip that consisted of the proposed chip).

Also, if you try out the eclair i9000 rom, the FM app is included; however, the application states it fails to start the fm tuner.
[Captivate General] sschrapel:
Just to bump this to the top, has there been any work on the FM Radio for the captivate or does nobody care?

i already have a galaxy S but bought a captivate because i prefer the design and it works on telstra here in Australia...but no FM radio is a dealbreaker for me, as i listen to the radio all the time.

if its the same hardware as the galaxy S, then surely it cant be that hard. :(

also have a samsung vibrant here which has also had the radio disabled...boy, T-mobile and AT&T are a real bunch of assholes.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
AT&T truly sucks. Anyone that has the chance should run screaming as fast as they can.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
As mentioned before, there are numerous other threads on this issue. No one can confirm that the phone has an FM radio - enabling it in software failed.

So until someone can prove it exists, most devs quit trying. Just saying that other SGS phones have it, doesn't prove the Captivate does; its mainboard is completely different then the SGS.

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Sony-Ericss...=140504706641&ps=63&clkid=7278726088471529708

It has FM radio built in and you don't need to have the phone connected to use it. Plus, you can use any headphones you want with it since the mic and phone controls are on the body. I prefer the in-ear stereo buds because they cut down wind noise on my mountain bike rides (and JVC headphones sound pretty damn good). My Motorola S9s were always moving around on my head and would plug up when sweat got into them. I paid $65 for it just 3 weeks ago. $49 is a steal.
