[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qllkevuoi:
Hi all,

first of all: I hope you understand my poor english...

I've a problem, tried to search but didn't find a solution...

I don't want to make a Hard-reset, so...please...help me if you know how to solve it...

The problem is I tried the landscape mode for manila-sense by installing an app..something like "rotate landscape" or "enable landscape" or something similar.

The landscape mode worked perfectly but it replaced the default animation on music and album tabs when these two tabs rotate and I didn't like this behaviour.

So I decided to uninstall the "enable landscape" cab but now the music and album tabs don't rotate anymore.

How can I re-activate the default animation on these two tabs?

Thanks in advance for any reply

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qllkevuoi:
sorry for double post but....hey guys,

this post at the moment has almost 70 views and no one reply.

So, nobody knows how to restore the default landscape animations on these two damned tabs without an hard-reset??

I don't believe it...so please help me.

What I really try to realize is to have Sense with landscape support but the default landscape animation on music tab and on photo-video (album) tab.

Is it possible? If not, I would turn back to the previous setting, with no landscape for Sense-UI but with the default landscape animation on music tab and album tab.

Anyone, kindly, can help me to do this?

Thanks a lot!

Regards

I currently have a 2Gb class 2 micro sd card.

What is the best class and size for speed and battery consumption?

I was thinking about something like this class 10 card: http://www.mymemory.co.uk/SDHC/Transcend/Transcend-8GB-SD-Card-(SDHC)---Class-10-

Anyone know if there are any fast low power cards that will work effectively?

I had a notification come in that said "Update available" while I was on the phone. I didn't realize I only had 2G at the time, so when the market opened, the network connection wasn't available and now the notification is gone.

Was this a system OTA update? Or could it have just been an app update?
[Vibrant General] Tairen:
Most likely app update. You would see posts here already if it was an actual software update.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That was for the market (any app) and not for a firmware update or patch.
[Vibrant General] johnnycs:
Thanks for the quick answers. To the mods, this can be deleted/closed to avoid speculation about an OTA update.

Goal: Automatically switch to

Use only 2G networks

without opening

Mobile Networks Settings

dialog and checking the box manually

I know that this is not possible on stock, but is there any way to accomplish this for root users or with any of the mentioned apps or otherwise:

I do not want to disable APN, and I've already used APNdroid to much dismay. There is a bug for Nexus One users when restoring APN settings that leaves mobile data disabled.

I've used the apps mentioned in the thread title to automate my phones settings (ringer volume, GPS on/off, bluetooth on when phone ringing, data syncing, etc.), and now I simply want to disable 3G radio connection whenever certain conditions are met and have my network type as "GSM only"

I've searched through different forums here and sorted through a litany of Google search results, so please no lmgtfy because "2G only" returns no results in this section and no relevant results elsewhere; "2g only auto" nothing; "2g only automatic" nothing, but you can flame if you post a solution :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you don't mind me asking - what is the reason for it? When you switch WiFi on, the data is turned off anyway. So why?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourinthoughts:
Yes, when your device is connected to WiFi the GPRS service for data is disabled. However, the 3G band radio in your phone is still being used which consumes more power than the global GSM band radio that is used when connected to the EDGE network type. This is always true whether you are connected to WiFi or not. (correct me if I'm wrong)

Regardless, the answer to this would help a lot of android users. This is not specifically tailored for me, because the entire OP relates to battery performance which should be an important issue for all Nexus One users. If this task could be automated it would dramatically improve battery performance during off-peak use (nighttime, work, meetings, etc.) by improving execution and eliminating forgetfulness. Automating this adds to the user experience and would just make your phone that much more enjoyable, period.

I'm simply amazed that I can't find a resolution to accomplishing this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
The cellular standby / talk time power doesn't vary much between GSM and UMTS, the difference is less than ~20% in both modes in case of Nexus, judging by official specs. I'll check your assumption that UMTS connectivity isn't dropped to GSM when WiFi connects (most probably correct), but the power gain isn't significant in places that have proper UMTS connectivity (which is not the case for the whole world, I know).

The easiest way I can think of would be to use SwitchPro widget, for example (or any other free widget that has the same functionality), and instead of pressing only "WiFi On" button, press 2 buttons - "WiFi On" and "2G/3G connection" (the same as pressing the "Use 2G networks only" checkbox).

I would suppose that such a plug-in or setting might be available for Locale/Profiles/etc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
2 things that I've found:

1) The connection indeed stays UMTS.

2) Android system prevents the programs from toggling 2G/3G mode, it's only allowed manually. The widgets I've seen only take you to the correct Settings submenu, but you have to click the checkbox yourself.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourinthoughts:
Thank you Jack_R1,

I appreciate the replies and the confirmation. That is the conlussion that I have been stuck with for a while. I had assumed that there may be a way to control this with superuser permissions.

I guess I'm going to have to dust off my Java, contact some app developers, and start exploring how to come up with a solution myself.

I apreciate your feedback.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You're welcome.

I suppose that this thread might be useful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736095

What you're looking for might also be one of the lower level system functions, requiring system permissions, not only root.

Might be worth contacting Cyanogen's team or Enomther, to make an option for it on ROM level and incorporate in the next AOSP-based ROMs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fourinthoughts:
Thanks again. That post helped. The settings are not accessible in the current framework. When I get enough time this week I think I can start on getting this fixed for root users. I will take your advice and will contact some of the masters here who would know the libraries well.

At home, I do have pretty poor 3G connection with my service provider, so I would like to switch when I am near my WiFi to 2G mode :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrettyPistol555:
And ditto again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellesshoo:
I have the same desire as the op. It must be possible to do since one can easily toggle 2G/3G from the power control widget in cm6. Maybe if there was an intent that was published tasker should be able to launch an app with that intent to accomplish this.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekiwi:
on a recent trip overseas, I was presented with a very weird situation. I bought a local sim and got a 3g data plan which was 3gb of 3g data and 200mb of 2g data (dont ask i have no idea why they are different). When I plugged it in i could do 3g data no problem but if 3g was turned on i could not make or receive calls. so like the op I wanted an automated way of switching between 2g only and 3g

I was able to do it on my nexus one and tasker with

Toggle 2G/3G

hope this helps you

Highlight the word and then press the "Swype" key...it's the one in the very bottom left in portrait mode and in the very top left in landscape. It will then ask you to confirm the deletion.

I don't think this works on words in the base dictionary, only words that you've added.

"An error acoured while trying to fetch data [nul]"

Also... It no longer gives me my facebook contacts in my phone book, all i have is my google contacts, ive tried re-syncing & clearing data, uninstalling, re-installing but nothing seems to fix it.

So I was playing around with this GPS tether app. But I didn't manage to get it to work..

I was able to start the app and the GPS started working and got coordinates and everything seamd fine on the phone. I could not however not get access to it from my computer. I Guess GPS Tether is actually just an gpsd. so I used telnet to port 2947. I Got connected but I did not get any data, all i got was an "GPSD" showing now and then..

I'm running MCR r6.

Anyone got this working?

My reasons for wanting this is the ability to use any GPS app on my computer and the phone acting as an GPS device(using TCP-COM). and not having to buy an GPS device. And it would be very cool! :P

Your Location (Coarse)

Your Personal Information (Read Contact Data)

Phone calls (Read phone state and identity)

Storage (Modify/Delete SD Card Contacts)

System Tools (Modify Global System Settings)

Can someone explain to me why some apps like Sky News etc require personal information such as contact data etc?

And can someone explain each of the above in detail and what they are actually allowing access to? (i.e If I download Sky News will they then have access to all my contacts in my phonebook etc or is it something innocent?)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] chmckay:
My guess is that it's because it's compatible with Android 1.5. All 1.5 compatible apps are automatically given those permissions, even if the author doesn't ask for them.

If the app is not compatible with 1.6, then it will not be given those permissions unless it asks for them.

[G1 Accessories] austriker27:
so after finding out there is not an otterbox case for the g1 (booooo!) I have started to think that it would be great to find another styled case that is snug fit for the g1. That got me to realizing the lack of snugness in most g1 cases is from the keyboard and having to flip out the screen. I got my g1 off of ebay and it came with one of those little thin plastic cases and a little plastic case i slip the g1 into. Also the keyboard flipping out is the only flimsy part of the phone and I like my phones to have a solid build. THus...

does anyone use any cases have a very snug fit (like otterbox) but that does not allow the keyboard to flip out. I have begun to like the on screen keyboard especially after using it in landscape mode. Perhaps I can go without hte keyboard and then when needed, take off the case and be like 'ha! take that trendy iPhone user!!'..

so any cases that will enclose the g1 leaving the trackpad and buttons and screen exposed???? I guess the cases do not have to be made for the g1 but should be tested and fit snugly (did i mention i like a snug fit?)

cheers
[G1 Accessories] G1ForFun:
Modify your own case....that's the only option. The G1 has a terrible design, Ill admit it. The cases that were released for this device were awful....believe me I owned six of them and guess what I use now...No case...just the stock pouch that I thought was "Dorky" when I got it.

I keep it in the pouch so that way the phone doesn't get messed up in my pocket...and when I want to use the phone I pull it out of the pouch and wala.

Not to mention that I really like the feel of the G1 with no case on it in my hand.

For the record though, the best case I ever owned was the Body Glove. Problem is that it starts to fall apart after awhile (like most things).

It fits very snug though, and I know thats a priority for you.
[G1 Accessories] z28james:
I use a silicone case which fits around the back and the chin. For the screen, I just use one of the plastic pieces from one of the harder cases. Seems to work without adding too much bulk.

does motorola have to give us full control on our device now since this came out says we should be able to do whatever we want right?I know its mainly for iphone but it says iphones and other devices

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/27/technology/27iphone.html?src=mv
[Droid X General] pman219:
The short answer is No, they don't.

While they basically have no recourse if we do root their devices, they have no obligation to allow us to do so. Also they (the manf.) have evry right to put protections in place to attempt to not allow thier devices to be rooted.
[Droid X General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
That was, um.... interesting. I had no this issue had reached a legal victory. I think it just means you can do whatever you want on your own hardware and share it with others without fear of legal reprise. Doesnt mean Moto's going to suddenly set up a how to on root on their website.:p
[Droid X General] FtL1776:
No. They also do not have to fix your phone even if you rooted it and that is terms for voiding the contract.

All this did was confirm people have property rights.
[Droid X General] dr154:
Motorola legally don't have to give us control, the article is stated that as a consumer you can do what ever you want with your phone expect for illegal action that wont result in a lawsuit by the Company because you modified their device that is now yours.
[Droid X General] ZerkerEOD:
I really don't see any problems with rooting your own phone and i hate that company's like verizon and motorola lock down an open source os, so only their programs work on it. Like the wifi tether, verizon trying to charge $20 when its a feature the phone can do for free.

Its kinda pointless for them to fight it because if we pay for a$ 600 phone you better be damn sure i am going to do what i want with it when i want to.

Plus i think that the only reason motorola locked the bootloader is because verizon asked them to. Motorola os.making no extra money out of doing. Verizon has all the gain in whether to let root or other programs work.
[Droid X General] x.v_:
I would say this more or less only affects people who root/JB phones (people like the iPhone dev-team, who actually release tools/methods of rooting/JB'ing). The common jailbreaker/rooter isn't going to actually get sued over it. People who make tools that allow everyone else to, may actually get sued (which now they can't?). =p
[Droid X General] omnifox:
This is the same tech that is in all omap phones. And was in place on the "open" version of the droid. The milestone. Moto and verizon would and did know that locking the bootloader would NOT prevent tethering.

The locked bootloader is to protect moto's intellectual property that they have invested on their platform. As well as preventing having to deal with returns of screwed up phones, from badly flashed phones.

It's motos right to do it. Just the same as its your right to crack it.

People really need to learn the real meaning of open source, as well as the difference between rooting and a locked bootloader.

Don't like it? Get another device on another network.
[Droid X General] FtL1776:
This guy is 100% correct. It was mostly about protecting THEIR ROM, they cannot patent any part of their ROM specifically the resizable widgets, so they most likely didn't want custom ROMs out there able to do it and specifically delaying others from doing it and apparently HTC and Samsung seem to have no interest in it.
[Droid X General] derek4484:
I dont see why phone manufacturers think they have the right to lock us down and dictate what software we can run on the phone. We purchase the phone for $500-600, its legally ours. I should be able to run any OS or software on it that I choose to. Nobody dictates what software or OS I can or can't run on my desktop computer, and if they did try to, the Justice Dept or the EU would be all over them like a cheap suit suing them and fining them like crazy. So where do these phone manf's get the gall to do it??

I think there needs to be a class action lawsuit against one phone manufacturer. It would scare others in to backing off this assanine behavior.
[Droid X General] derek4484:
I have to disagree here. It is not their right to lock the phone down so severely so as to dictate to me that the only OS I can run on the phone has to come directly from them and be digitally signed by them.

Dell doesnt tell me what OS I can run on my computer. And they sure as hell dont have the right to lock it down so that the only OS and only updates must come from them, thats ILLEGAL! And is on phones too, after all, they are just mini computers now. All it will take is one legal challenge to this and it will stop. I'm waiting to hear the FCC's stance on this (of course those crooks are all in ATT and VZW back pockets).
[Droid X General] cbaty08:
I like your thinking; Is there anything us "smaller" people can do to help the cause? I guess I am thinking something along the lines of a suggestions box to the fcc or something.....

Anyways, it would be sweet to see Motorola unlock this phone themselves with an OTA update.... I might Jizz My Pants...
[Droid X General] sp1kez:
I still cannot believe how cell companies are able to get away with their behavior in the US, if you've ever been overseas you'd see what I'm talking about.

Phone companies there are EAGER to get your business so they will allow you to use any phone on their network, as long as the frequency of the radio is compatible.

For example (using US companies: Sprint would allow you to take the droid X on their network just to have your business
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Except that a locked bootloader doesn't prevent you from taking the framework and other files OFF of the phone, just prevents you from putting a custom ROM ON the phone.

There are some devs working on extracting blur pieces, but from what I've read so far, it's pretty inter-twined, much like HTC's Sense framework.

Yes, I know that Motorola has 'Said' the bootloader is locked to protect their IP, and that VZW has nothing to do with it. And of course, we all read this on the internet, so it must be true.

I think it's reasonable to conclude that Moto has self interests in mind here as well. But to think that VZW doesn't have an 'opinion' on this is just plain naive. I'll give you three guesses (and the first two won't count) as to whether the official VZW froyo release has wi-fi tethering included, or if it's been disabled.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Of course it is there right to produce the phone to their specs. If you don't like the software or their configuration, don't buy it. The marketplace rules here. When/if enough people care about this issue (and I hate to say it, but people like us are a vocal minority in the large picture of phone buyers), then it will change. So long as you voluntarily pay the money, don't expect any them to do any different. Did they not say exactly that in regards to this issue? I Believe the quote was something to effect of 'buy a different phone if you want to load custom roms.'
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Most consumers in the U.S. are not willing to pay full price for these phones. We 'demand' a subsidized phone cost (ie, $199.00 for a $600.00 Droid X).

Expect more of the same until people are willing to pay the full cost of the phone.
[Droid X General] veeeee:
I'd pay the full price of the phone up front if that meant no contract + lower monthly bill. However none of the major US carriers offer that option except for t-mobile.
[Droid X General] xmunk:
Wrong can buy full price without a contRact on verizon
[Droid X General] veeeee:
Verizon won't give you a lower monthly bill...
