best i ever got was 4, now its usually around 1 or 2

For the record, that's on a rooted phone, with Eugene's ROM applied, plus some tweaks you made in LboTest. Right?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I've had a lock on more than 2 or 3 sats before.

These are just the ones in my tinypic account, I have plenty more on my phone.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
Does his ROM address the "which satellites are locked" bug? Cause I can get a fix even with 0 satellites locked, and that's clearly bogus.

I'm guessing it doesn't actually help accuracy... does it?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
I can only lock to 3 satelites, but the phone is stock, I just changed the settings to google servers

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oceanminded:
I really like the feature in CyanogenMod based ROMs that can display the battery percentage in the status bar over top of the battery icon.

Is there any way to do this on non-CM roms? I've searched all over the place and haven't found anything for the Eris yet, so I'm not too hopeful, but maybe I missed something.

Guys please help me understand I'm running DC Rom 3.2.3 with the old radio and just updated to the newest radio and still getting slow three g speed. However I do get good 4g speed around 4.3 mbps. But what I donot understand is why my upload speed is higher than download speeds. I took a snap shot. Is it because I'm In a 4g area or could it possible be that the network is having problem.
[EVO 4G General] lee.n.doan:
From what I have been reading about radios, it seems that some radios work better in some places, and the latest may not be the best for everyone. Try different radios to see what different speeds you get.
[EVO 4G General] Smac7:
thats horrible. i just tested 1604 down and 692 up. not too shabby. ive gotten 2000 before though.
[EVO 4G General] ewilson:
The radio I had before worked great until few days ago I just update to new radio so I figure I upgrade to the new radio to see if it fixes the problem. Do you think sprint is forcing 4g people that are in 4g area to use 4g? 4g is great but runs battery down for just surfing and textin.
[EVO 4G General] ewilson:
I'm in greensboro nc where you located. Are you rooted
[EVO 4G General] RTC88:
The problem is that you are using the speedtest.net app I presume. If I am not mistaken it is fairly inaccurate. Try using the xtremelabs(sp?) speedtest app in the market or try using the speedtest.net website.

[EVO 4G General] wfrandy:
I have the same problem sometimes, and I am fairly sure it isn't your radio, it is Sprints network. Last night for the first time I experienced the same thing as you did with the uploads being higher then the downloads, weird. I have been testing it at random times daily and it is just really inconsistent. Here are some screen shots of my tests for the last few days. As you can see from the shots, I have almost full 3g signal (the red bars at the top of the screen) when I did these screen shots, yet two hours ago I had no 3g at all in the exact same spot for about an hour.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
thats crazy, i live just out side a tiny city where most folks have dial up yet the whole area gets sprints 3g. my tests are usually 1.2mb down and 700kb up.

on a side note, i had no idea sprint had such sweet speeds even in areas that you just wouldnt think they would spend the money on. maybe att had me bamboozled all this years.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Somebody should start one of those Google maps that we can all put pins in with notes about the most reliable radios in our region. I bet we could populate it pretty fast if a few root users would be willing to flash a few versions and test each one. I'd do it, but I'm in the middle of another project.

Well, I'm having problems, too. I am rooted, running CR's stock ROM with the update and before now, my battery life was bearable but now, I was just on the phone for like, five minutes and my battery jumped about 20 percent... Before I have never had this problem. And apparently, it's supposed to IMPROVE battery life, but my phone shows otherwise. I got up at 7 this morning, with my phone fully charged. By noon, I was at 40%. Odd? Usually, I could get to like, 10 PM before it even hit 40%. My brightness is down, syncing is off when not needed, not using it much because I have classes, so I don't know what's happening...

Anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?

As far as all of your problems, I haven't experienced those... Yet. Haha.

[Touch HD General] nuumaan:
Hi all,

Lately i've been reading about the HTC BLACKSTONE procedure to flash, came accross the links and read them. My phone has the version of

ROM - 1.18.707.2(23358) WWE

Radio/Protocol - 1.09.25.14/52.49a.25.26U

I was wondering if someone could help me out in telling me is there is any additional hardware required to flash. I've heard about something called the flash box that is used to flash the phone, and as i'm new to this HTC TOUCH HD. wanted to know if this will need any additional hardware other than USB cable and phone???

Also, i wanted to know according to you ppl which will be a stable ROM, my phone battery dies like within a day, hence planning to flash the radio too.

So if u can help me with with the details of any Stable ROM according to you and a stable RADIO that will not kill my battery this fast???

Please help me out...!!!

I don want to brick my phone without knowing the complete details...

Thank You.

Any kinda help will be appreciated....
[Touch HD General] tamnteh:
you just need the cable and phone. nothing else. your cable should be recognized by your computer.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_nwb:
On an iPhone, you click the headset's button once and music plays/pauses. Double-squeeze and it skips to the next track.

Anyone able to get this to work on the Captivate? If so, what app?

I tried Captivate's default music player app and doubletwist but it can only play/pause when using the headphone button.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cachookaman:
not possible
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TWiG420:
Yes.. it is possible.

The player 3 (aka cubed) does this. Click headphone button to play/pause... double click to skip to next song... and long click to bring the player up to the front. Works great.

(From my Captivate via XDA app)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F_L_Abs:
Most of the 3rd party media players let you do this... I personally use MixZing!

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 and all im trying to do is skip back a track using the supplied earphones. I cant get it to work can someone help?!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijjoseph:
You should try clicking three times. The clocks should be done in rapid succession of each other.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0wst0pper:
Thanks for reply. I have tried that but it just skips forward. Looking around the net it looks like its not possible! Seems crazy! Wonder if it will be a jellybean addition? Have found a program that you can use to program buttons but still seems like a crazy feature not to be integrated!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijjoseph:
In my experience the click to go back is usually just one more than the clocks to go forward. Please try again. Also what brand headphones are you using?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0wst0pper:
Yeah i know. Thats what i have been doing the last 3 years on the iphone. I have tried this for over a week and it still only goes forward.

Nothing big like years and days widget, just simple hours and minutes. Thanks... anyone??? Ok.

Maybe check out the widget Evulhotdog told me about in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=749340

Lets you put any Home screen widgets you want directly into the Lock screen. Of course, that means you need a countdown/timer widget, right?

[Vibrant General] sil3ncer7:
When you have a text log with the original person? I have noticed it shows up in the notification tray under 1 name and then under the actual msg app its to the right person but it makes me scared at times who the last txt REALLY went too..

In the stock messaging app (all I use) Ill start a txt conversation with person x then down the line it'll send the next to person y... idk if it was a confusion between the linked fbook accounts but it almost got me in trouble so now for safety sake I dont have fbook linked to contacts...

Anyone notice this or is it just me?
[Vibrant General] AquaeAtrae:
Sorry to hear this. If its the same two contacts each time, I'd suspect your two contacts may have automatically linked or merged phone numbers. Inspect each one's details for the other's phone number. For example, I found that two contacts who shared the same email were merged, completely deleting one's name entirely.

I'm using Handcent myself so not sure if this would be related, but I've found that text messages received from one particular number (my bank's alerts) always appear as another contact (a friend) in the initial pop-up alert but then appear correctly in Handcent's actual message threads. I've since swapped and rebuilt the handset to no avail. This issue remains a mystery.
[Vibrant General] sil3ncer7:
not the same contact. Thats what I originally thought it was something merged weird but its random. so I am not too sure but it makes me whery what I send to certain ppl. For some reason im friends with enemies of the other friend so saying 1 thing starts a fight btwn the 2.. lol I cant win.
[Vibrant General] e1allen:
same problem, HTC EVO, seems like it goes to a random person, facebook contact or not.
[Vibrant General] ScratchSF:
This is a huge problem and is related to the Android platform, not just the Vibrant. You can find more information in the following two links:

1. www.google.com.vn/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=345259e6d424bad3&hl=en

2. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9392

The best thinking that we have on the problem so far is that it is in the ComposeMessageActivity.java file. But it would be great to get more eyes looking over the code to try to get this one licked.

Note: A 3rd party app may make the situation better, but will not resolve it. Best solution is that if you receive a text or e-mail message (or anything that plays with the notification bar or takes focus from what you're typing), quit your message and start over.
[Vibrant General] vinnydakid:
This scares the hell out of me. Is there any specific instance when this always happens?
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
Strange, never had this problem and I've been using Android since the G1. There must be something you are doing or a setting you have that specifically triggers it.
[Vibrant General] down8:
There's nothing related to Facebook - I don't have anything linked on my phone. And I never had this issue on my G1, but I also didn't start screwing with the Vibrant until recently, so it's not something I'm "doing" - it's happened within weeks of getting the Vibrant on launch day.

It can be quite scary. Luckily my friends getting msgs meant for my wife hasn't bit me in the ass yet. But if it ever gets mixed up going to a female friend, I could see this not working out in my best interests, ya know?

-bZj
[Vibrant General] pm1694:
I've had the same problem on my vibrant and my g1. What I've noticed is that if I send a nescafe to person A then receive a message from person B and access that message by using the notification bar and answer person B, the message can go to person A (the last person I sent to.) I've found that if I remember to not use the notification bar and only access messaging by using the icon, I haven't had the problem. Not the best solution but at least it seems to work.

[Vibrant General] jn_vista:
I use the notification bar all the time and occasionally reply to the weekend person but that's just because I didn't press on the right notification...
[Vibrant General] lingols:
yea i had this happen to me as well. luckily or unluckily a txt i was sending to a girl whom i was fooling around with got sent to a girl i had just met 3 days prior. after that needless to say she wouldnt talk to me waa waaa. it was prob a random bug introduced in earlier builds.. say around a month and a half ago. oh yea i had about 12 threads running around 50 a piece.. maybe that had something to do with that and maybe the random stuttering of the vibrant when too many programs are running. Havent had that happen again thankfully but one would have to say.. slow down on the texting sometimes lol
[Vibrant General] ScratchSF:
The evidence seems to suggest that the problem is in the ComposeMessageActivity.java file, which means it is not SMS Client related. Said differently, using a 3rd party SMS client might reduce the likelihood of the problem but does not eliminate it.

Now, to answer your question. It seems like the problem happens when multiple threads or events happen when using SMS. For example, it might happen when you are editing a message and when you receive a SMS text message. (It is more likely if you use the notification bar to pull down the message rather than navigating to it in the SMS client.) The good news is that people are trying to reliably reproduce the problem so that we can troubleshoot and fix the problem. (See my earlier post in this thread for a link of those discussions).

Based on the review of the code, one fix seems to have been made to the 2.2 code branch. However, people using 2.2 have indicated that they are still experiencing the problem. The problem is in the library. However, there is a very unique set of circumstances that have to occur before you see the problem. It's quite possible that people who haven't seen this problem yet just use the UI in such a way that the problem doesn't show up.
[Vibrant General] McBang2023:
i second that. this glitch can be nasty. hopefully it will be addressed soon. GV for the win.
[Vibrant General] deadpass:
I have the same issue here. It will show one name but have a conversation for another, or the name and the convo are right, but the picture is wrong.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
I think I found a solution to the thing. Been getting it a LOT and pissed me off on more than a single occasion.

So. If you are talking to someone and SUDDENLY receive a text message from that person but when you open it, it changes the name of the contact to someone else or ....I guess everyone who has experienced it KNOWS what it looks like. So when you GET IT, open it, then CLOSE the whole messaging app. Then restart it and it should fix itself and be back to texting the right person. If it doesn't (or if you want to be on the safe side), kill the messaging app with a task killer or task manager and restart it.

This has fixed it recently for me. Had it happen a total of about 15 times, with me finding and using the trick about the latest 5 times and it worked every time.

Note that I AM running Bionix Fusion 1.0 with Voodoo if that makes any bit of a difference.

Hi guys, this is my first post but ive been lurking here for a while trying to learn more about my phone.

This is a bit long winded so please bare with me..

I bought this phone about a week ago from rogers wireless. It's locked to rogers and i updated the phone with the SE updater to the latest version they have. I bought the phone under my contract and then gave it to my wife (her old phone broke so i thought it would be nice to give her a new one)

She's now using her old simcard in the phone and other than the phonebook contacts keep disappearing, everything else works fine and all the txt msgs are intact.

1) whenever i switch sims from her's back to mine, the phonebook will be cleared.

2) today she told me that the phonebook cleared even though she didnt touch the simcard.

any idea as to why this is happening? she thinks the phone is defective i think its just something software. Im going to try and do a factory reset on the phone and setup the entire phone w/ her sim instead of mine (which is what i originally done) and then update again on SE updates.

Gmail sync

Hi

I've had the problem too. It turned out that the synchronization with Gmail was the culprit. The phone saw that a given contact was not in the contact list in Gmail and therefore deleted it from the phone instead of adding it to the Gmail contact list. The same goes for changes to contacts - if I change something on the phone, it disappears when the phone syncs. If I want to keep the changes, I have to make them in the Gmail list. I don't know how to change that behaviour.

- Martin
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
Yeah that's just BS. I didn't sync with Gmail right at the start, so when I finally did it last weekend, I lost all of my 249 contacts. Luckily, I had them backed up on my old sim card, so I restored them, but all the contact pictures, facebook links etc were lost :@
