Still worthwhile

Here's a good reason why an automated way of using this service menu option would be a good idea:

APNDroid (and similar programs) 'disable' data connection by adding additional characters to the APN information of your phone. They, therefore, don't disable data connection, they merely invalidate the APN information.

What happens though is that the phone still tries to connect to the GPRS/3G network, using the invalidated information. On my network, Vodafone UK, enabling the APN later again (i.e., putting the valid information back) does not lead to switching the GPRS/3G connection back!! Only switching on/off the airplane mode switches back on the cellular data connection!

My guess why: invalidating the APN information (and the phone using this information to attempt connecting) leads to a sequence of GPRS attachment requests being sent to the (cellular) network. Some operators might react to these requests by disabling any future attempt of attaching to the network - a denial-of-service prevention, if you will. When you switch APNdroid (or similar) back on, the cellular attachment has been disabled on the operator side (since you've been sending invalid attachment requests). Switching airplane mode on/off re-attaches you from scratch to the cellular network - GPRS/3G will work again!

I observe this behaviour on my and my wife's phone consistently IF the cellular connectivity has been disabled for more than 60 minutes (possibly a timeout set by Vodafone UK). We tried several APN switching programmes.

When using the service menu switch, you can use your connectivity at any time - no airplane mode switching required. Problem though is that the menu selection is far more complicated than the airplane mode switching ;-)

So what's required is a programmer's work to create an automated (widget-based) switch, using this menu!!!!

BTW: my friend's Hero has an HTC-provided widget, doing exactly that. He's never observed any issues with it, as described above.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blublub:
Has anyone tried DCswitch+ it supposedly doest exactly that - disabling the dta connection via service menu.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fnakfhe:
Yes, tested it work like advertised.

thanks man.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stan28:
That's very handy. Thanks for the tip.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Simpler:
Hi,

I don't know if it uses the service menu but Smoda widget doesn't change the apn string and does switch off the data connection, saving me great amount of battery time. I'll have a look at DCswitch+ and try to compare.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
there is an even easier method just install the app APN on-off Widget

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Donald Nice:
But this also only renames the apn, right? It is mentioned in the comments... If so, it will not help to save battery, like the method of the first post.

you can use SP if the goal is to save battery

Google Calendar Sync now supports Outlook 2010

Making sure that your calendar is available to you whenever and wherever you need it is important. That’s why Goggle Calendar works with a number of desktop applications and mobile devices including iCal, iPhone and iPad, Blackberry, Android, Nokia/Symbian, and Windows Mobile phones. Google Calendar Sync for Outlook is also available, but one thing was missing — until now.

Google Calendar Sync now supports Outlook 2010 — our top feature request. Outlook 2010 comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and currently only 32-bit is supported. To start syncing your calendar with Outlook 2010, download Google Calendar Sync version 0.9.3.6. Once you install it, a Settings window will appear. Enter your account’s email address and password, choose your sync optionand sync frequency, and you’re done! (Note: If you’re already using Google Calendar Sync, you’ll still need to download and install this new version in order to be able to sync with Outlook 2010. If you need help, take a look at our getting started guide.)

Is there a way to stop my Droid from updating OTA to FroYo? I have flashed my Droid over to Cricket and have Bugless Beast v0.4 installed, and now since the 2.2 OTA update has been released I get a constant notification that the update is available. The only options I get are to install now or to install later, but what if I don't want to install it all and just get rid of the pesky notification that keeps popping up every so often after I press install later. I already have 2.2 on my system with Bugless Beast so I'm not really missing out on anything. I don't want to update and have to reroot, reinstall Bugless Beast, and reflash my Droid to Cricket again. I'm happy where my system is at :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kevcube:
If you have a custom recovery, then as soon as you reboot into the installation your phone thinks that you've accepted, but the custom recovery blocks the installation and you stay on BB.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] exodus409:
What do you mean by reboot into installation?

I've booted into clockwork recovery and then restarted the phone, but nothing seemed to change. Is that what you meant to do?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] [ L ]:
Flash SPRecovery. Then select "install now". It will send a notification that it has been installed on your phone to the servers that send out the OTA but SPRecovery will block the installation of it onto your phone, thus stopping the notifications of an update and keeping you on BB v.04 w/ Cricket. You can flash back to CW Recovery if you want to afterwards.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ziltoid:
Im also running BB.04 and got the OTA notification today. Glad I found this thread because I was starting to get worried. I clicked 'install now', rebooted and so far no notification and I am still on BB.04. Woot!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Dano78:
Thank you for this!

Running BB 0.4. I saw the verizon 2.2 Froyo upgrade this morning, and for a second I was psyched verizon finally pushed it out... then I was a little worried about what was going to happen to mine since it was rooted and running a 2.2 Rom I was already happy with. Just like this thread says, I clicked install, and the phone rebooted right back up to my BB 0.4 without any issues.

I'd hate to say I'm a leech, but you guys have so much information here, and I cannot stop reading lol. I commend everyone one of you Devs for all the work you do!

Thank you again,

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] exodus409:
Yup, it worked perfectly! Thank you! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ziltoid:
Interesting. I was able to block it the first time but it popped up again. Anyone know why? Maybe there is another update to the 2.2 OTA update?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] M4r34d0:
I had received this notification about four times before it recognized that I'm updated without rebooting the phone for it to be blocked. Nothing else had to be done except for saying yes.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Ziltoid:
I clicked install now and my recovery image blocks the installation when rebooted. It shows the Android guy with the exclamtion point but it doesnt finish the install. Reboot then im back to the way I was. Im running BBv.4 btw. I havent got another prompt yet.

Follow me on twitter @luniz7

You can do the copying with root explorer.

Download swype with the swype installer, if you don't have it, find the apk and install to/system/app/. If you download with the swype installer, install and don't enable. Copy com.swype.inputmethod-1.apk to/system/app. Install the apk there once copied. Put the swype_htc.zip in the android themes folder. Download metamorph. Select create new. Select the swype_htc.zip and follow the instructions. Once applied, reboot the phone, then go in to keyboards in settings and enable swype. Some times it won't take on the first try, just reapply the metamorph and reboot and it should take.

Get it HERE , make sure swype is in /system/app and named com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk

I take no credit other then changing the .thm to .xml

If it doesnt work let me know asap!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] qmartman711:
did you move your swype is that why you are having trouble removing it?

If so-

delete the app from system/app or whatever the current location is- and then delete the additional file- com.swype.android.inputmethod in data/data/

restart phone. and also uninstall your swype installer and you should be good to go
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rmoney:
yeah it was because I moved it, I wound up just searching for any swype related files in root explorer and deleting them. Its back working now, haven't tried to theme it yet though

There is a working version, its a matter of finding it.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] bilbobrian:
If you don't install the new beta via the installer, you won't have full functionality. Swype decided to put a security lock on it. It is pretty easily bypassed through editing the swypeapplication.smali...If you look hart enough you'll find how to do it. :)

Does anyone have a step by step guide? I read the one on DL and still no avail. I've done quite a bit of searching. I'd like to change colors and tracer. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] luniz7:
I don't know how else to explain it, you need to put the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in /system/app and click it to install. Then apply the mm theme and reboot. Also the tracer file is in the mm zip and is green but for some reason it won't change when the mm is applied.

I'm really, really sorry if i posted this in the wrong section or what else.

I'm having problems using the Gen.Y dualboot system on my kaiser, I installed the CAB for the HTC Kaiser.

It works... but only when opening the bootmanager when Windows Mobile 6.1 is already booted, there is no way to first load the bootmenu from Gen.Y and then choose to boot Windows Mobile or Android.

The Android is installed correctly and the registry is set well to boot from the Andboot map on my SD card so there's no problem booting android.

It's just that the bootmanager doesn't startup when turning on the phone.

(I'm running Eclair 2.1g Polymod Light-Themed)

I hope someone can be of help and i really appreciate whoever even thinks of answering a possible solution.

So I bought a set of bluetooth headphones on Amazon.com recently, and they are working really badly! The audio constantly stutters on CM 6.0, and still stutters quite a bit on Darchrom 2.8. It also has pretty pathetic range, if I put my phone in my pocket or even hold it in my hand below my belt it just cuts out completely!

Is this normal for the Hero or do these headphones just really suck?

HTC Wildfire is a good phone but putting in 7 screens was a big mistake. It takes so much memory that the phone literally lags. I have emptied all screens and kept what I need on the main home screen and it seems to be working fine.

Is it possible to configure HTC Wildfire so I can choose how many screens to see for eg. 1,3,5 or 7 ??

It will definately speed up the phone as lot of memory will be saved.

The recovery IS NOT the problem...

It's a driver thing...

Delete the drivers on the system, and install the latest htc sync...

It will come with the leatest drivers...

BUT WHY?

why do you want to do the ruu??

Are you not happy with root?

If it's the wronge recovery, you dont need the ruu..

you can just flash a new recovery!!???

WHY?

To be completely honest i love having a rooted phone. I have a rooted vibrant.

I just really dont know what im doing at this point. I already bricked one mytouch and am afraid im going to do something wrong and brick it again. I really just want the RUU to work in case something happens and i have to send it back. If they go into fastboot they are going to know i did something.

Trust me i would love to put amon ra's recovery on it but i have no idea how and cant understand how to do it. I feel lost when it comes to android phones.

I want to put froyo on here but i should wait for the official update.

That is another thing will the rooted phones still take the OTA for the updates when they come out even if rooted.

Sorry if this is a lot of questions, but im just scared to do anything now since i failed the first time around. thanks

If you ever have to return your phone for repair or just want to be back at stock(complete reset):

Flash all 6 files.... again using the tool..

For the hardware part use the "custom spl/radio/recovery" box...

The only problem is the spl has nb0 extension... so you have to use the fastboot and a cmd promt on windows... type:

fastboot flash hboot hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.nb0

or you could rename the file to hboot_7201A_1.33.0013G_091021.img and use the tool for all files... but i have never tested the renaming approach!
