4g details

My best friend used to work for sprint and now works for a competitor. He asked some of the clearwire guys about 4g launching for me last week. They said the soft launch for Columbus, OH was end of November. Commercial launch would be in January. A soft launch is anywhere from 50-75% of the clearwire towers in the area are online (usually 60% avg. was his guess). They will continue to be tweaked until the commercial launch (aka official launch). As for Dublin not having 4g yet, is most likely not built out due to strick zoning laws, permit filing, litigation and approval by the zoning review board. It is a very restrictive city.
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
Nice, thanks for the update. I hope coverage in downtown columbus improves....
[EVO 4G General] parker81:
This is kind of an old thread... but did anyone notice their 3G speeds drastically drop since Sprint threw the switch on 4G?
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
Check your recent upgrades and future upgrades in your area...

[EVO 4G General] Jayavarman:
That's only for 3G.
[EVO 4G General] imex99:
Yes, only 3g but thought people in columbus would like to see the 3g changes coming....
[Streak 5 Android Development] massinegro204:
I just got my Dell Streak and let me know how I can eliminate all vibration from the operation of any occasion(when you tap one of the three buttons

). is there any application or code to achieve this? Or you can change any internal file to achieve this. thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Retroactive:
yeah the hardware btn vibration is the most freagin irritating thing ever, however i haven't been able to find a workaround this issue, i've been checking around so far w/o success....
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
The vibration has stopped working on my streak, and I want it back. :(

This is only since the 2.1 update so I'm thinking about reflashing to get I back.
[Streak 5 Android Development] miker71:
I'm also on 2.1 (O2 build, from a 00 factory unlocked device) and still have the vibration. Drives me nuts too, I'd love to switch it off.

I see engineering codes have been posted that gives access to EMList and other engineer apps in the app launcher - i've already removed a bunch because i didn't know how to access them so it only half works on my device. Would be interesting to find out if there's a way from EMList to enable/disable the vibration and perhaps even set the device primarily into portrait ...... but I'l have to reflash first cos I didn't back up the stuff I removed doh

[Streak 5 Android Development] massinegro204:
ok thanks, I read what I have suggested, I put this code

chmod 777 /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable

but android Terminal?

sorry but not very practical android ,thanks for your help
[Streak 5 Android Development] spences10:
You can get adbWireless form the market if you dont like typing in the commands - works a treat

Or what I have also done is just copied the text into a .txt file on my SDCard so when the vibration stops working again i can just copy paste into termainal emulatior.
[Streak 5 Android Development] miker71:
it resets after every reboot. i even renamed the "vibrator" file and it got named back on the next reboot. seems that the streak has some self-healing built in ...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lengz:
So, I've read that people were able to get 3g speeds on their 10$ internet plan using epc.tmobile.com . I have the web2go/phonefirst plan, internet2.voicestream.com works but it is only edge speed. When I try epc.tmobile.com, it says that I need to upgrade my subscription. Anyone know how to get the epc.tmobile.com to work?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
No, that loophole was was filled awhile ago.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lengz:
I guess it only works with the 5.99 tzones then? I am 100% sure on that...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobecamp2009:
im using internet2.voicestream.com and i have working MMS and FULL 3G connection with 3G speeds.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lengz:
What is your download speed using speedtest.net app in kB/s? And also, how did you get your mms to work? I need help on that :\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norazi:
Im on the $5 tzones plan.. Have been since nexus one launch... Works fie using epc.tmobile.com, im getting 2-3mbps downloads in most places. Also im not sure if they monitor bandwidth but use pandora A LOT and also tether

i am having issues with mms though. but i think it might be a problem with my rom cause it worked fine with vanilla 2.1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcohenlv:
ok I have a question..... if Warez is illegal here and gets threads deleted and locked, how is screwing the phone company over ok?

basically your stealing
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
my t-zones still works since release day :)

its not really screwing them over... fact of the matter is when the plans like tzones were offered, those were the internet plans of the time so anyone who has them has just had them grandfathered through with contract extensions and such... i payed for unlimited data then and i am paying for it now...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
Paying less money for unlimited data is one of the many perks of being loyal to a company for as long as those grandfathered customers have, without giving in to the temptation of other carriers with more features and more capable phones. Besides, contract free, the data plan on T-Mobile breaks down to $10 for smartphones anyway.

YOU'RE stealing!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
T-Zones works for me.

Tmobile knows I have a unlocked Nexus and they know my plan.

Everything works.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm0is3sx:
I had 7.1 MB download a few months back only happened a few times though I have the web2go plan
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JHaste:
GB not MB? how the hell do you get through 1 day on 7.1mb let alone a whole month...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lengz:
Nvm, got everything working fine. MMS works also!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xm0is3sx:
haha i meant the download speed sorry
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodnarb:
I have the $5.99 tzone on my n1 using "epc" - AP.

Im in bham al. And only, yet consiently, get 400k up and downstream.

Ive got the 10.99 internet plan on my girlfriends POS samsung behold 2. It gets the same speed on the same AP.

I know it's been done on the Captivate, I've actually never messed with rom development before and the last time I ever tried coding anything was back when I was in middle school making games on BYOND. Could we possibly use their roms as long as we use the original Vibrant kernel?

I found that the Captivate forum already has been working on this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734871

Figured it would help our development section to speed up if some devs saw this. I wouldn't mind trying it myself I've just never tried something like this before.
[Vibrant General] rothariger:
yeah, i wanna know if that is possible too...
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Yes, but only if you're VERY careful or don't mind not being able to revert back to stock. There are some issues that can cause a brick going from the i9000 ROMs back to the Vibrant ROM. In the dev forum Eugene posted a 2.2 leak that works and doesn't brick coming back to stock.

Personally, I don't recommend it. I just run a modified stock 2.1 ROM with the JAC kernel. It's quite nice. I'd love 2.2, got used to CM6 on my G1, but I'll live for now. :)
[Vibrant General] samoelito:
what if you use the stock vibrant kernel in step 7, instead of the captivate kernel?

[Droid 2 General] eddysamson:
Just got my Droid 2 the other day, first Android phone or smart phone for that matter.

Was wondering if anyone knew why google maps or anything that uses my GPS location is always slightly inaccurate?

For instance I work on a main road through a strip of restaurants and shops and it showed my location as across the main road and down a side road a few blocks, it clearly showed the nearby streets and was close but where it put the icon I was obviously not there.

Same thing happens with my weather app, every now and then it says I am in the next town over from where I really am.

Whats up? Anyone else have this problem?
[Droid 2 General] teeBOMB:
yes unfortunately, my navigation app is next to useless. Always end up walking a block.

Would really like some input on this!
[Droid 2 General] eddysamson:
An update:

I deliver pizza (still in school okay :p ) and I used my maps to just show the location of a house that was pretty far away at the farthest point of our range. I put in the address correctly and it showed the house about 5 miles off from where it really was, but somehow still on the same road.

This is pretty unacceptable to me as a driver, I was hoping to be able to put my phone and GPS to good use, but for now it is far from working correctly.
[Droid 2 General] rmader:
Hi

Mine works great it's right on you have to turn on the sats not just the cell towers.:)
[Droid 2 General] teeBOMB:
Okay, so after some intense Googlage, it seems like there are THREE different ways a modern android froyo device can get your position...

It triangulates GPS satellites, Cell Phone towers, and WIRELESS networks...

I believe Google has a database of known wifi hotspots from driving around in the street view truck.

Apparently the phone trys to average a position between all three? Either way, the WIFI triangulation is known to be inaccurate and throws the phone off.

Anyways, if you use the stock froyo power switch widget do the following to get best results:

1. enable WIFI and GPS via the widget

2. navigate to main settings screen

3. select Location & Security settings

4. DISABLE "Use wireless networks"

5. ENABLE "Use GPS satellites"

6. ENABLE "Assisted GPS"

If you still have issues, try calibrating your compass before you set off for a trip or are trying to use Google maps to get an exact location.

After changing these settings, you can go back to the power switch widget and disable GPS and WIFI if you'd like. anytime you need to use a location based app, just enable GPS via the widget and launch your app!
[Droid 2 General] ZPrimed:
Anyone else have problems using the GPS toggle widget? (Either Froyo stock or the Moto one)

When I turn off GPS, it disables all three options under Location & Security. Weird, but not too big of a deal as long as it would restore them when I power it back on... but it doesn't. When I re-enable GPS, ONLY the "Use GPS satellites" option is re-enabled, regardless of the state the other options were in originally. Both aGPS and "wireless networks" options stay disabled and I have to manually get back to settings and re-enable them...

Am I special or do other people get this with the D2?
[Droid 2 General] anonymous-x:
I was sitting the Hospital the other day, wondering where I was so I turned on my maps & sure enough it showed I was right in the middle of the building, even showing the building! Found out where I was!
[Droid 2 General] eddysamson:
This fixed it for me, thanks! For some reason I thought the GPS would always be on, I suppose I do like that I can turn it off now though.
[Droid 2 General] anonymous-x:
Wanted to add that if you leave all that GPS on even when your charging you'll get an email alert that you have it on, another words you are being monitored. Caught me by surprise so I turned it off for a few minutes of privacy:cool:.
[Droid 2 General] ZPrimed:
Uh, no.

You get an e-mail when you enable Google Latitude, which is completely separate from the GPS system itself. Google Latitude can be turned on and off from "inside" of Google Maps.
[Droid 2 General] anonymous-x:
Yes & I have no complaints using those apps but when I'm home it should know & turning them off saves battery & I also charge it.

I used to trust Flexilis which changed it's name to Lookout but when I tested that last night & today it's locating my phone at either the west or east tower which are more than 5000 meters away (but they are a good free back-up).

i have apps2sd on a rooted froyo and none of the apps i've download where put on the sd card!

when i went to applications some of the apps had the option to move to sd card which i did all was good. but the majority did not have the option too!

is that right?

i have the samen problem exept my desire is not rooted

all the applications that i have install to my desire,have been installed to phone,and not to sd...the point is that now i have only 30mb available in my phone.is there any way to transfer the installed applications to sd?

i have used both "app 2 sd" and "sd move" but i transfered only 4... applications.

my phone is not rooted..

i would appreciate any help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slikk07:
I would think its up to the app developers to update their apps so that they are saved onto the SD card. Some have updated hence they have the option. I'm on 2.2
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You can change the value of "setInstallLocation" to force most apps to allow move to SD.

Either via ADB via:

adb remount
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

Or if you are rooted, there's an app call ModInstallLocation which can do it whilst the phone is fully booted.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kostasmag:
can you be more specific foxmeister?this is for not rooted phone,rihgt?where i must write this code?and how?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you are rooted, you can install an app. If you are not rooted you must use ADB.

See here for further details.

The most difficult part of this is going to be getting ADB up and running. If you run into difficultly, there are plenty of threads which go into this in more detail.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
In order to use froyo apps 2 sd the app itself must be programmed to allow it, not all apps at the moment have had a froyo update.

Therefore a lot of apps won't be able to be moved, also any app you use widgets for should not be moved or the widgets will keep disappearing.

All apps can be moved using the origional ext style apps2sd (also now called apps2sd+ or similar), this method just symlinks apps to the ext parition so the phone still thinks they are in /data/app when infact they are not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Incorrect!

Many apps can be installed to SD card even though they've not been updated for Froyo A2SD, if setInstallLocation is changed. Thus far, I've personally only found one app that can't be moved in this fashion, and that is "Skies of Glory".

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
well not really completely incorrect then if you still found an app that can't be moved ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Actually, I suspect that that this particular app may have been specifically updated to disallow it! :)

From the SDK:

I'd imagine that if an app does have a value for this attribute, and it is set to "internalOnly" it always overrides whatever you may have set for setInstallLocation. For apps, which don't have this attribute at all, it seems to me that it does take the value from setInstallLocation.

Everything else that I've installed happily goes to SD without a specific update to allow Froyo A2SD!

Dave

Version 1.0.3 : Minor update - same as 1.0.2 but it will now run on GW825V (and roms based off it)

1.0.2+ should ensure that the flashlight is properly de-initialized, not that I had any reports to the contrary, however, I still recommend upgrading. :)

The app now checks to see that you're running a Monaco. If not, it will still run, just without trying to intialize the light.

If the old version worked and the new one doesn't, go to the about screen and let me know what it says it's "running on".

The icon and image are from the Firestorm Iconset by Lechu

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=646967

Icons and images are now original ... I didn't have any

issue with Lechu's icons, I just couldn't find anything in his sets that were suitable for my further plans.

Requirements:

.net compact framework v2 or higher (comes pre-installed on factory roms, dragonstorm and most other roms)

the other day my phone feel of the couch while pluggd into the pc. it stopped chargibg and woukd not connext to pc.

i lost the original cable so ive been using a mini to micro usb adapter for an old cable i had for my g1 which hss worked perfectly.

thought i had broke the sockey on thr phone. had a tmobile shop check it with there cable. it was fine. so boyght a microusb cable.

everything seemed fine. charge light. usb drive worked internet tether. but then the phone ran out of battety while usb tethering. it always stays at 100% before.

with the battery low it woukf rrstart every minute whole plugged into original chargrr.

its charging but very slowly. 15% in 2 hours. checked battery pins. seems fine. i dkd manage to get 37% charge in 30 monutes once irh the phone off.

the phone doesnt even get warm while plugged in. it used to get pretty warm when cuargibg.

tried hard reset. trief reflashig rom. it knows wall charger is in. says charging orange charge light.. but it charges sooo slow...

im stuck. is this a repair jobk

make sure you have the "don't charge the phone while connected via usb" unchecked. Other than that, sounds like a hardware problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
i cant find that setting, only do not charge when the phone is on., which is off. Ive just noticed something else. the brightness setting for AC power effects the brigthness when connected to usb. I dont think it knows the difference between ac and usb anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
when you plug it into the wall, do you get the menu for: Activesync, Disk Drive, Internet Sharing? If so, then this is true. Really sounds like a hardware issue. I would take it back in and see if they can replace the port.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
nope, when i plug it into the wall, no menu. it does seem to know the difference between usb and power. as using the option "when phone is on, do not charge when the pohone is connected to pc" has no effect with the wall charger.

I tried a different wall charger. I have a travel charger which is only rated at 500ma instead of 1amp and it charges the same. I was able to get 100% overnight. woke up after 8 hours to see the green light on, it stays at 100% with the wall charger as long as you leave it alone.

back into the computer, tethering and im loosing battery as if it wasnt connected.

Looks like ill have to dig out my insurance as its not a warranty repair (and also the water damage stickers are red, due to it being dropped in the toilete 3 months ago)
