Yea, I was hoping someone maybe knew which file you had to edit to reenable that option in the network settings page :p

I already have Juice Defender :p I know I can disable data completely, but I'm looking for something that can disable 3G while keeping EDGE alive

It says install completed, but in the logs, it says there was an error
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
It would be nice to disable 3g while at home or something , where the reception is a bit sketchy, but i could at least still use it for voice and texting , and use wifi for the internet and app stuff. Could help conserve battery life as well
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
I tried smoda and can confirm that it doesn't work for me. It disabled data completely as I cannot access the web.when I activated the widget. It would be nice if we could set this phone to 2g and if data speeds were above a certain threshold for a certain amount of time then we could have it switch to 3g.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Yeah, I'd really just like to force the phone into EDGE mode when I'm not using it - updating weather and fetching e-mails are really not that data intensive and don't need the speed from the 3G connection. I'd like to have a widget that will turn the 3G back on when I'm on breaks or whatever and want to surf the web, watch a video on YouTube, whatever. I believe you can do this in the service menus, so you would think there would be a way to accomplish it with a widget - even if it were Galaxy S specific.

I'd pitch in 5 bucks towards a bounty towards such a widget if somebody could create one.

Juice defender does have the option to run the 3G radio on 15/1 cycles (off for 15 minutes, on for one) but I'm not sure how/if my apps that would use background data would sync up with that.
[Captivate General] Gestalt73:
i9000 vs 1897 band settings?

Now that I've moved to the JH2 firmware I'm back to some of the AT&T crap, like hiding the band selection setting.

I'm thinking that the differences are in the Settings.apk.

Others have said that since it's a system app and signed, you can't just install it. So I'm wondering if it would be possible to pull the Settings.apk from the i9000 rom and stuff it using the update.zip method.

May have to do a backup and give it a shot.

Once that setting is available, you can use 2G 3G switcher from Market to bring up the UI and toggle between EDGE and HSDPA.

By keeping it on EDGE, my battery lasts alot longer...
[Captivate General] mesasone:
If we could manage to enable it juice defender would switch back and forth automatically based on download speed and/or the screen being on/off, which be ideal.
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
2G/3G switch--the hard way

This is the only way I've seen (through the fine folks here and other places) to do it:

Enter the Phone app.

Dial *#*#197328640#*#*

Select [1] DEBUG SCREEN

Select [8] PHONE CONTROL

Select [4] UE STATE CONTROL

If you want 2G, select:

[3] CHANGE RAT TO GSM

If you want 3G, select:

[2] CHANGE RAT TO WCDMA

Hope this helps.

Anycut

Actually, Anycut isn't able to instantiate ServiceMode, I spoke too soon. When you try to launch it, it crashes phone for some reason. Nevermind.

There is also a program available through Market called Anycut (Freeware).

It makes it easy to create shortcuts to all kinds of things, including hidden menus.

Install it, then right click on an empty area and select:

Shortcuts -> Any Cut -> Activity -> Service Mode

From there you can follow ag4vr's instructions:

At least you don't need to memorize "*#*#197328640#*#*"

Also note that it will take a few minutes for the phone to re-establish a data connection
[Captivate General] ctalbot:

[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
This works for me, it just doesn't stick after a reboot.
[Captivate General] coldbeverage:
This is great. I saved the *#8#.... code in my contacts and it goes right to the menu! So easy.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Really? I couldn't get that to work.
[Captivate General] accrews2001:
I couldn't get this to work either. It just does the "we're sorry you dialled a wrong number" dial tone.

Could you be more specific on how you did it please?
[Captivate General] novagator:
I have switchpro, which comes with an option for 2G/3G toggle, but like all others, it just takes you to the wireless settings menu.
[Captivate General] AllGamer:
yup, i've tried all the Apps available on Android Market

and no one is compatible yet with SGS

it'll be nice to be able to select which speed you want, rather than simply ON/OFF data

ON/OFF is the only switch that works at the moment, there is a freebie ON/Off data switch if you guys don't want to pay for the SwitchPro (which is very good IMO)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765081

look for APN on-off Widget
[Captivate General] pezx44:
I've done the same for all of those codes. I just went to contacts, add contact, give it a name (GPS, Force3G, etc), and put in the code.

Can't get it to work... weird.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ravenoverride:
Hi,

just managed to install and configure Kweek3 (an Android compiled Quake 3) and it is running. Unfortunately I don't have a ext. Keyboard and Mouse. That's why I am playing with the volume buttons to walk forward/backward (Interestingly, kweek3 tinks that these are F2 and F3 Button :) )

Nevertheless, I am wondering if there is something wrong. I am only getting around 6-9 fps out of my streak. Should the hardware not being able to do more? Or do I really have to wait for Froyo (or something in that direction) that I get it smoothly?

How high are your fps?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vinokirk:
I think its best to wait for Eclair. Check out the benchmark results for yourself:

http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/08/dell-streak-benchmark-scores-greatly-improved-by-android-21.html

Some of the FPS readings for Eclair are not much more than on Donut
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] vinokirk:
Could you give us some download links, or is it...you know... wink wink nudge nudge?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
has anyone else tried linpack or quadrant or the other benchmarks mentioned.

in quadrant I get 7.19 much higher than the supposed donut score posted by the endgadet bod..

what we really need is the jit and the qualcomm 3d stuff enabled in a kernel..
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] squalllion1uk:
+1 in quadrant i get 676(2nd run i got 666 xD) 1.6 unrooted at that as well kind of made me wtf at the engadget benchmarks, though linpack wise its pretty much the same.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] ravenoverride:
Just google for kweek3. Then you would find a link at google incl how to install it...legally :)

[Touch HD General] kaushama:
I have used several ROMs with sense 2.5 for its quick link facility. I use lots of Medical tools with my HD. But as HD is well outside the capabilities for Sense 2.5 was designed. And I feel it is very slow for everyday use sometimes.

I have used Win 6.5 Titanium with SPB Mobile shell. There are many themes which simulate sense 2.5 with shortcut functionality. For example HTC PURE STYLE 3 from Mobilecustom.fr. There are even win Mobile 7 like skins from Proplus.

I feel some speed gain but not sure whether it is my mind due to bias.

Which combo is faster???? Post your experiences!
[Touch HD General] tamnteh:
using additional application such as SPB Mobile Shell will slow down your HD because of additional RAM consumption. i think standard ROM (no addtional application installed when there're existing application which do the same function) will speed up your HD.
[Touch HD General] Zd0s:
wrong section needs to go in general.
[Touch HD General] skulk3r:
try NRGZ Standard Reference ROM - it's wm6.5+standard sense 2.5

then just install GFXBoost, and get BSB Tweaks and tick all of the graphics boosting boxes, and it should be quite zippy. but try different ROMs - different chefs focus on different things, some on features, others on speed. but there are definitely builds out there with speed.

personally, MS3.5.3 is way too laggy and the features, skins and themes aren't as elegant as Sense 2.5...there is always something not quite as good as sense.

for example - the calendar is not as flexible, smooth or as nice to use as the Sense 2.5 version.
[Touch HD General] kaushama:
Is there a way to implement quick links or shortcuts in Home page of manila 2.1?
[Touch HD General] rokca33:
black new

tries Black new V 2.5 Manilla fastest ROM that I had 38%
[Touch HD General] hling:
Winner is SPB Shell. Down load a rom without HTC Sense or manila. Test it by yourself. I got at least 100m RAM left after SPB Shell (70-80m with manila) .

You can also customize the short cuts for it (3 to 5 pages with 10 to 15 shortcuts for each page. It should be enough for your needs.
[Touch HD General] kaushama:
I have tried few ROMs up to now including Energy, Stonehedge, Kenia and KWBR. I always felt that SPB MS with WIN 6.5 is quite snappy and fast though I love the interface of Sense more.
[Touch HD General] jonifen:
I've been using Mobile Shell 3.5.5 lately with kwbr's WM6.5 and Manila 2.1 (no Sense) - very impressed. So impressed in fact, that I'm looking for a snappy WM6.1 ROM to use it on as I think this would cover everything I'm looking for!
[Touch HD General] kaushama:
You should try KWBR's titanium ROM with SPB MS. No point installing a ROM with manila unless you want to switch between two interfaces.
[Touch HD General] Smobbo:
ok, this is useless thread number 23984723492...

As you can see from the responces, there are a lot of possible good and fast roms.

However you just need to try and see what you like best!

Some people say it is 'fast' when it is 'smooth' others sit by their rom with a stopwatch to determen if it's fast...

Oh, and this is not related to rom

development

, just to the HD so -> subforum general!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] alinescoo:
I am sorry if a thread like this exists but I didn't managed to find it.

I tried different Roms but I can't remember from all which is the fastest.

I am mainly using my Polaris for:

- phone calls

- wifi browsing: Opera Mini/Skyfire

I want the fastest Android Rom that will suit my needs. From your experience what ROM would you recommend me ?

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BYTeXperience:
Try to use froyo 2.2 RLS 12, right now i use it on my phone, it is fast naught to do all the usual things without wait. I overclocked my CPU to work at 540MHz (this says Rogue Tools) but it is working at 520MHz really. The market it is working fine, bluetooth also, wifi can be solved to obtain ip, everything is ok. If you wanna more details, PM and i will try to guide you in romanian ;)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] hpdefalcon:
how can I flash froyo 2.2 RLS 12 to my Polaris?wifi is ok?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BYTeXperience:
1. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE INSTALL PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS and download the install-seq.sh .

2. READ POST1 HERE - DOWNLOAD THE Latest FroYo NBH or ZImage (POLAIMG.NBH) for your panel type, and the RLS12 All Languages Themed (androidinstall.tar).

3. READ POST1 HERE - FOR THE NBH Editor v3.5.2 YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND USE THIS PROGRAM TO CHANGE THE PANEL TYPE FROM 1 TO 3 OR FROM 3 TO 1.

After you read all the 3 posts from the 3 thread and you download all the files you need you can proceed with the install using the steps described in the point 1.

For solve the WiFi obtain IP adress, after you install successfully the Android on your Polaris, restart it and press the volume button up when booting Android, you will see a menu with some options, select FIX PERMISSIONS menu and wait... after the fix WiFi will work just fine and it will obtain the IP from the network.

Hope this post will help you.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] alinescoo:
Indeed, I am using since yesterday RLS12. It is pretty ok, some freezes here and there but nothing really important. Sometimes in Market the phone restarts. I thought about overclocking the CPU but I was affraid not to broke it. Is it safe? Is there a performance improvement ? What about battery drain ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] BYTeXperience:
In my case i don't have any problems with freezes or restarting in the Market, but when you change the camera settings application from photo to video then the program stops. About overclocking the CPU, i use it in this way (540MHz) from some time, all is ok, the phone is fast and the battery is not drain, in my case work from 3 days ago and i have use it my phone to calls, WiFi (browsing), Bluetooth (send/receive files).
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Tjahjo07:
this last several days i've spent time to try a lot of android build for my device polaris100. here is my opinion about the best adroid build i've tried :

1.Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS13)

the best build for show off to your friend :) in reality my device's 128 mb ram can't run it as smooth as it should be. too many frezes it work but with limitation. you need to tweak it a bit to make it bearable : 1 launcher page, keep launcer on memory, kill all windows animation. try to move the installed program to your sd might increase the cache files. uninstall those you never use. minimal widget. you might want to overclock your procc at the risk of your beloved polaris.

2. Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8)

It has the bling bling as the froyo build but it works generally alot of better than the froyo one. it work fast out of the box. and if you do the tweak i mentioned above it work alot of more faster. but not as fast as it should be if compared to those official device that came out with eclair.

3. [ANDROID] Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5 - 04/24/2010]

this is the oldest adroid of the two above. but it has the least hardware requirement, in other word it really work as it should be (compared to the device that officially came with it). it just some glitches here and there but it is bear able. I'm having alot of fun with this build.

there is alot of other build that i tried but IMHO those 3 above are the one worth to mention.

hope this help.

CHEERS!

[Touch Cruise Android Development] orbus:
Most stable for Polaris

Hi,

I always testing any incoming releases.

I vote for Incubus Froyo (RLS13 yet). If you don't use lot of screens, widgets, than it is the most stable for daily use. These things are the most important for me and they are work:

- Incoming calls come fast

- Data plan works: Task, Calendar, Contact

- BT carkit works

- Battery: I use sometimes pcarvalho lastest winmo and it drains battery more, than Android.

I think the most freezes are about the low free memory. But I'm on it to get more memory. If I use app and data on SD, I got max 40MB of free memory.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] grgomes:
Hey, I got the same impressions of the Incubus RLS13, very stable BUT suffers from a memory problem... well, can't expect too much from the Polaris RAM when compared to the new devices in the market.

However, can u guys tell me if the Launchers (PRO and ADW) should make the phone slower (choppy)? I decided to stay with the stock launcher, apparently works better (apps, screens in/out), but I checked that PRO and ADW don't use a lot of memory.

For example, Tjahjo07, when u say keep the launcher in memory and 1 screen only, which launcher are u referring to?

Cheers!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Phyt:
@grgomes

he means launcher pro.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] grgomes:
Tks Phyt. Yeah, I did try the speed-up suggestions, my Pola100 is much faster now.

2 screens LP, keep in memory, people widget and weather only. Minimal freeze and FC so far.

I did however go back to Liquid's 16/07 nbh, the 26/07 from DZO was giving me a lot of charging and booting issues. Seems much more stable now.

Im waiting for a Pola version for the 24/08 nbh from DZO, read some good reviews from people using Vogue...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cav2002:
I flashed Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS14), Kallt_kaffe VaniljEclair RLS11 (CM5.0.8), Myn’s Warm Donut - [RLS 5], but there is no-one can run in my Polaris smooth.

My suggestion is don't install Android in your Polaris for business. Otherwise, maybe you will loss order or job.

Good Luck Everybody!

VaniljEclair

Use the VaniljEclair an reduce the pages of ADW.Launcher to 1! It works really fast!!! Ive got Pola200. If i flash Incubus Froyo WLAN dows not work. Running the other ROM everything works fine!!! I had 1.6 myns warm donut before. It had benn run from SD Card. By flashing Eclair I got a 2.1 which works as fast as Donut from SD card. Try it! Its great!!!

@moapz: oh my god .. take a breath, you have posted in all the topics. wait a minute. someone will answer you. i think you are not doing something well. i have did that tutorial some time ago and had no problem with it. it would be better for you to try to install in haret mode first.

i installed android NAND on my pola200 and worked. but after some days it goes crazy and according to this forum thresd i could remove old version and now i want to install another stable version, so i read wiki page but all links not worked! or say file not found. so i'm going back to read threads again to find what version is good. but another problem! ; many of this guides uses haret.exe to install android but i cant do this, because i don't have WM on my pola200 to run it. so can you help me for that? how to install new android ?

Can someone help ? thx
[Windows Mobile] TAEL:
Your incoming calls works fine or not? Since Tachi dialer is for dual sim support, it should be ported to use regularly. If you're using it untouched, you outgoing call shouldn't be worked.
[Desire General] yongchoon:
Hello there,

May i know how can i make sure that my current desire's H/3g icon is working properly? I am having the H icon only for most of the area. My service provider claims to have 3g data network. So hoping someone can help me or give me some advice. Thanks
[Desire General] rolfd:
Download a speedtest app and see if you are getting H speeds.
[Desire General] yongchoon:
i tried with speedtest apps and the result is 2000+ kbps download. is that H speed ? I not sure about how fast the H speed would go..
[Desire General] MasterBratac:
Theoretical maximum with 3G/UMTS is 2000 kbps as I now, but often not mor than 1000 kbps. HSDPA, which is setup on top of the 3G protocol (which means its also a 3G Network) reaches around 15000 kbps maximum, but depends on signalquality and how many phones are near you. So something between 1000 kbps and 6000 kbps is normal.
[Desire General] yongchoon:
hello.. ok.. so mean thats for me the H icon sometime better than the 3g icon ? or both of it its the same speed? because in some area the 3g icon will appears.
[Desire General] mouth:
The H icon only appears when your phone is actively transmitting or receiving data, otherwise the 3G icon appears
[Desire General] MasterBratac:
Yes, and H is better than 3G ;)
[Desire General] sbdags:
Yep as above - you do realise H is better than 3G right ;) H = 3.5G

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

Im from India and im about to buy my HTC HD2

Okay straight on to my query....

Im planning to shift to Canada to do my MBA from there in the next 8-9 months.

I already know that the HD2 is a quad band , world phone and its frequencies are supported in Canada.

My question is :

What are the Network Service providers in Canada that i can look for a connection purchase when i go there?

Also , if someone would be so kind as to give me details/websites where i can have a good comprehensive list of Data plans for my HD2.

P.S. its already clear but ill say it anyways. Im gonna buy the Standard HD2 version.

Please help me out ppl.

To the mods : If you feel this [Q] has been opened unnecessarily , then please excuse me as i could not find any such info anywhere in the thread.

Cheers :D

Question: "What are the Network Service providers in Canada that i can look for a connection purchase when i go there?

Also , if someone would be so kind as to give me details/websites where i can have a good comprehensive list of Data plans for my HD2."

Tutorial

(for pre-MBA level users only, which having the difficulty in finding it itself)

:

1. Open internet browser (if you are using MS Windows, it will be the icon with the blue "E" logo of the Internet Explorer by default. If you're using Linux, then likely it will be Firefox by default).

2. In the address bar, type: www.google.com

3. In the Google's search bar, type: canada mobile provider

4. When Google will display the search results, right click on the first link displayed, stating: "List of Canadian mobile phone companies - Wikipedia..." (it will be blue again).

5. Choose: open in new window

6. The new window will be opened, and then, you will find the hidden and very difficult to obtain data about the Canadian mobile providers.

Additional information: to check the data plans, on the Wikipedia page, you have to click each provider's links to go to their pages.

Hope that this tutorial will help you, and you will go to Canada to increase your education level... definitely, you need it....:rolleyes:

ive already visited all the sites for the network providers...

and like any common buffoon , u will believe wat is stated on the sites....

Ask the fellow man who uses these networks and he will tell u which is better for reception etc....

Im not talking about data plans .... even a kid can look it up...

Im asking for first hand experience...
