[Touch HD General] mvirtue:
Hardware: Touch HD

Software: WinMo 6.1, CE OS v5.2.20757

Strange behaviour: My house has no mobile coverage, so to stop the constant striving of the phone to search for a signal (and thereby drain the battery), I put the phone into flight mode when I'm at home. Sometimes, however, the searching for a signal continues (IN FLIGHT MODE), and the battery is completely drained overnight.

This is an intermittent problem - it happens about 50% of the time, but the steps I take to put the phone in flight mode are identical each time.

Even stranger (but clearly related): Occasionally the phone will actually FIND a signal, and I'll even receive a text - IN FLIGHT MODE.

I have a friend with an identical phone, and his phone exhibits the same behaviour when he visits my house.

It seems that "flight mode" doesn't always turn the cellular radio off. Does anyone know of a more reliable way of turning it off (without actually turning the phone completely off - I still want to be able to use the rest of the phone)?

Many thanks for any suggestions,

Mark

There's been quite a long thread about WinMo not setting flight mode correctly especially in 6.1. A newer ROM should help.

I been using Advanced Task Manager 4.1 before I updated to froyo and it killed all my unwanted apps very well. All the roms I tryed on 2.2 do this: they leave the apps connected to the internet open. It just wastes my battery. I tryed a bunch of other task killers and none of them work, the apps still stay open. I need to kill the apps untill the next time I open them. Anyone know a way to do that on 2.2 or what my prolem is?

For one thing you might want to download DroidWall and disable internet access to all unwanted apps. It is like Firewall for your android.

Also try Taskiller. I m using it and it kills apps and never let them start until screen turns on again.

-Sekhar
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artii829:
See thats the thing, I want them to be off untill I turn them on myself. I think I'll re-download DroidWall (I have known about it) and all task killers do the same thing I guess, which is kill the apps untill the next time you turn on your screen =/
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
Could you give us an example of these apps that are "staying connected" and some indication of what you're testing to know that they are staying connected?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artii829:
Apps like: Bloo (Facebook), Hi IM, Android Market, Weather Bug, & others that dont use internet like Astrid Tasks, Startup Cleaner Pro, Titanium Backup, TeslaLED & toggle apps.

I just want them closed when I kill them. Right now I have a shortcut to managing apps so I click on the running tab and manually force close them but thats a pain.

INDICATION: killing weather bug and the notification with the temperature stays.

After killing the apps I have listed they pop up again in the task manager 30 seconds later.

I'm seeing anti virus software for phones, are there any viruses around for android? Is worth wasting RAM and CPU on anti-virus program
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] trojjanhorse:
I use to have it installed on my android but I have not yet heard of a virus for android platform. I uninstalled it.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tuxStyle:
Well, antivirus is probably not the right word but an app which will check what you install to see if a malware will be nice...

Lookout might be that tool but i don't know any malicious apps to test it :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cinner:
If you only install software from the Market, you'd probably be fine without anti-virus. And you'd have to make sure not to visit any 'shady' websites on your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SlipperyMonkey:
I believe it is necessary... ;)

Check out the first Android RootKit:

h-online.com/open/news/item/Android-rootkit-demonstrated-1049183.html[/url]

.. I have Lookout installed for this purpose :D, and to find my device if I forget it somewhere.. :confused: LOL
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shiwantha:
Like tuxStyle was saying, Im sure if we grant wrong application to access personal information and internet, end result will be very bad.

Im little sceptical Google itself made us vulnerable by tempting to use everything on cloud basis.:cool:

One recommendation is when you install apps, check the allowed permission is really necessary. so far I couldn't find any application that allow us to limit in each application . but firewall apps are coming up. we need more.:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] GPdhillon:
Yes but according to the article anti virus cannot detect rootkit

[HD2 General] me:
I just got my HD2, haven't tried much yet.

One thing very much surprises me though.

I live in the LA area, where there is good 3G coverage. On my previous phone, the SE TM506, I always get 3G, never EDGE.

I looked forward to getting much faster 3G on the HD2, HSPDA (which the TM506 does not get). I've read about fast speeds here.

But instead, the connection icon always shows an E for EDGE. (Again, my TM506 never shows that. It always shows the 3G icon.)

I tested it too, by going to www.mobilespeedtest.com in the Opera browser. It showed 50 something kbps download speed, even slow for EDGE.

What is going on?

Is there something I need to enable in settings, to get 3G speed?

Might I have got a defective phone?

What's going on?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you didnt say whether it was a tmous phone ( i assume it is) and also what network you are trying it on?

Also, in comm manager, is 3g turned on? if you have flicked it off, you will only get gprs/edge
[Captivate General] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
I thought I had seen this discussed but can't find it.

When my phone rings the volume starts out low then increaes, is there a way to disable this and have it start at full volume?
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I think it is melody? I believe that is the type of ring it is.
[Captivate General] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
Huh?

It doesn't matter what I set the ringtone to. All the ringtones do the same thing for me
[Captivate General] LeoS283:
I'd be interested in a fix for this also. I've done a little searching, but haven't been able to find anything other than it being related to a bug on other phones with a "quiet ring on pick-up" (or something like that) setting, which this phone doesn't seem to have...

Basically, the phone rings quietly for about a second at first then quickly jumps to a louder volume.
[Captivate General] josquin:
Yes I have this as well. It does not serve any useful function since you couldn't possibly answer before it gets loud.
[Captivate General] cooley_l:
I'm new to the android OS , so I'm going slow on tweaks but I had the same problem on a previous WinMo phone , the Samsung Omnia II and it drove me crazy. Eventually someone found out all you had to do was edit the registry and change a key from initial ring volume from 3 to 5 and it worked. I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere in the captivates db's there's a equivalent setting . Hope this helps and I'll post if I find the setting.:)
[Captivate General] smeltn:
I hate this feature as well and want to disable it.
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
Anything new on this? It is driving me crazy!!
[Captivate General] gilmorej:
It seems to be a trend with Samsung phones...

I had an Eternity and it did this, which drove me crazy.

I also had a Sync, which is a flip-phone. It did not do this if the phone was closed but if the phone was in the open position before the call came in then this would happen.

I think it may be a Samsung "feature" in order to protect your hearing or something if you had the phone close to your head and a call came in. That's all that I can think of.. It's very annoying and I don't like it at all. It really makes me think this is probably intentional considering each Samsung I've had did the exact same thing. I haven't gotten a Captivate yet but I plan to, and it's very disappointing to see that it suffers from this as well.
[Captivate General] pitbull292006:
Has there been any fix to this yet? ?
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
If you have never used the phone, why do you reply?

The volume will always start low no matter what ringtone you use. It is another stupid, unchangeable setting that Captivate has (much like the separate brightness setting for browser).

HTC has the opposite and more reasonable settting: volume starts loud and becomes low when you pick up the phone. You can disable it if you don't like.
[Captivate General] Tinyboss:
I may be the only person who likes this behavior. If I forget to put it on vibrate mode during class, and it starts to go off, I can quickly hit the volume rocker (without taking it out of my pocket) before it disturbs the class.
[Captivate General] The Bishop:
would be cool to have a fix for this :)
[Captivate General] Bugflicker:
Well, any fix yet? It pisses me off :[
[Captivate General] viperrepiv:
I too find this super annoying....anyone have any success in changing it so it starts off at full volume?
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
I see the Perception 10 has:

[Captivate General] viperrepiv:

[Captivate General] bradleyG:
I have perception 10 and mine seems to still have ascending ring. Maybe there's a setting I missed but I don't think so.
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:

[Desire General] h3adRuSh:
I think you can use connectify for that... there seems to be no ad hoc support for desire atm. Not sure though.
[Desire General] waebi:
the Desire doesn't support Adhoc networks out of stock, you need a patch for that.

That won't work. Desire doesn't have a Texas Instruments wifi chip (the 'ti' in the tiwlan.ini).

Cyanogen does have a fix coming (IIRC) but not in any build yet.
[Desire General] z174621:
it is done. thanks a lot. i use connectify ，my laptop support this software. it is perfect. thanks again
[Desire General] Daelyn:
Works fine if you use ifconfig/iwconfig. Skip the tiwlan config. check my earlier post.
[Desire General] zamansimba:
this is just proof that Apple products 'just works', more user friendly and superior to HTC garbage

Just joking. You can lower the pitchforks now.
[Desire General] daveba:
Although connectify works for you, it's not the real solution since only wifi cards in laptops/desktop that support the hostap mode (i.e. turning the card into an access point) will work. A lot of the intel cards don't support connectify.

The real solution is for google to fix the codebase which is in progress to support ad-hoc networks. It's surprising that this was not a default 'feature' in the codebase. It's rumored that Gingerbread will have it supported.

Hey all, the great Koush has updated the great ROM Manager App and says that it should greatly reduce “broken” recoveries because recovery will not need to be reflashed every ROM switch or wipe.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] adrynalyne:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
You should have stayed rooted and flashed a stock rom from the development section.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreamcruz:
I am rooted also but I did see it in the HTC Updates on my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardiox:
not very helpful considering the fact that a factory reset most probably still has him in a root state. You either need to do a manual unroot to get back to a true factory reset or follow these instructions as an easier way:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html

When you choose the RUU...use the 1.47 one...then after complete you should be able to OTA Froyo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
Wouldn't it be easier to just keep your root and download one of the newer 2.2 roms and keep root. There's even stock rooted roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciocchettilord:
well i the only reason i rooted to begin with was for the 2.2 update. i think if there is a like newer versions of 2.2 without htc sense then i will flash to that. does anyone know of that? a 2.2 rom thats plain android. witht he cameras and bluetooth and 4g working also pretty stable?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongoface:
Yup, fusionx has a wicked fast, snappy, and stable rom without sense. Check it out in development section. Download it, do a complete wipe, and flash it. Make sure to flash new radios and wimax as well. They will be listed under the rom probably. These need to be flashed one at a time. Good luck and have fun.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanBergundy:
CM6 is as close to ASOP as you'll ever get. It is super nice. No 4G or Hdmi yet, it will be added eventually.

Do not update to 2.2 through sprint. There is absolutely no point. Flash the rooted 2.2 stock rom, it is the exact same thing except you get to keep your root.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] danamoult:
Obviously, there are differences with the stock rom that will come with either version. However, as I am planning to flash around a bit, this won't matter.

However I've heard that on a branded device, if I flash a different rom then accept an OTA update it will simlock my phone. Is this correct? If so, then will getting an unbranded device be better?

Thanks.

I don't know the answer to your question, but my Galaxy is from T mobile and is unbranded and unlocked out of the box.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
My SGS is from T-Mobile UK, but I can't really answer your question either.

I can say that the device is both externally and internally unbranded (I can't say about SIM locks, but I assume it has one). No splash screens, no "Web'n'Walk" Internet icon. The firmware supplied is:

PDA: I9000XXJF4

PHONE: I9000XXJF3

CSC: I9000TMUJE6

Only the CSC is custom, I'm guessing just because it comes set up with the T-Mobile APN settings etc.

What I'm interested in is whether, if I made a nandroid backup, what base ROM I'd need to return to the phone to stock.. JF3 is the only one available it seems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fitzy75:
I've just bought a T-Mobile UK SGS on ebay, brand new, still sealed, it was an 'unwanted upgrade'.

I can confirm there is no branding that I've found so far, and there is no sim lock (I'm using it on O2, everything working fine right out the box), I don't know if this is the same for all the SGS that T-Mobile are selling.
