[Nexus One General] andonnguyen:
You're not understanding completely. My desktop computer does not have a built in wi-fi adapter, so I would have to use a wireless USB network adapter to get internet on this machine. Using this method, I was able to use the internet from my ISP (Cox Communications) rather than resort to using T-mobile's 3G network.

Let me do a flowchart for you:
[Nexus One General] pwig:
Yeah, okay I did understand.

The phone can tether the cellular signal or the wifi signal.

It was implemented in froyo.

What is really cool is how fast it is. My computer is hard wired into my home network and when I activate tethering and disable the wired connection, the difference in speed tests and pings is imperceptible. They are both the same. Very impressive.
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
I like what you've done. You are tethering your computer to your phone via USB and then using your phone's WiFi connection to connect to your home's WiFi router, then on to Cox and the Internet.

In your diagram, the Internet doesn't lie between your phone and the computer. The Internet lies beyond your ISP. Otherwise nice.

Lastly, the tethering features were added by 2.2 as pointed out already.

Edit: added a diagram
[Nexus One General] mfajmkas:
By default wifi is set to sleep when the screen is off. Have you disabled this in wifi advanced settings?
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Took me a few minutes to understand...

The point to note is: "tethering shares whatever internet connection is available" :)

1) Connect to the wifi network using your nexus one.

2) Share the internet via USB tethering.

I have been looking for a way to have a media player say the track/artist at the beginning of a song since it is a pain to look at the screen all the time. Its now possible. Here is the link

http://rikara.blogspot.com/2010/09/android-tune-announcer.html

Description

This is a simple Android application that announces the name and artist of the song currently being played. It uses the native Text-to-Speech capabilities of the device to speak.

Example: The application will speak "Now playing 'Firestarter' by 'The Prodigy'"

The application speaks the text using the system volume and mutes the music whilst speaking. You may need to adjust the system volume to a comfortable level to hear the speech.

Non-standard Media Players and Scrobbler Support

If you are using a non-standard media player i.e. not the Android or HTC players, then adding support is difficult. However, there is a simple workaround if *your* media player supports last.fm scrobbling as these must broadcast Intents to the main scrobblers. Currently, v0.4 supports the Android Simple Last.fm Scrobbler. If you enable this in your media player, then the Tune Announcer will work :) The next version will support the ScrobbleDroid scrobbler.
[Android Apps and Games] bjrmd:
latest version works with most players that will scrobble--astroplayer, mixzing etc
[Android Apps and Games] fards:
that looks really neat, except appbrain doesn't have version 0.5 yet.

EDIT thankfully market does.

testing now.

Hi guys. I am on the road right now so i appologize if this has been asked already. I just don't want to scroll through thousands of posts on my device.

This being said, i have flashed to the vibrant 7 rom and again wit the vibrant9 absolutely love it. I am wondering what keyboard it uses? I live in Canada and google voice does not work here. But this keyboard enables voice with no problems. I have tried vlingo but much prefer this keyboard.
[Vibrant General] metaltorizo:
does anybody have ryanza's one click lag fix. i need a copy of it, and its not in the market.
[Vibrant General] verve50:
Search the development section there are many posts related to it. There also is an app on the market just search for one click lag fix.
[Vibrant General] vincent1190:
Is root needed?
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
the one downloaded from the market has rooting capabilities built in. check it out. i rooted mine beforehand so can't verify how well the market OCLF works.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
One click lag fix from market is a must have app . It'll root, unroot, lag fix and unlag fix. Just the ****.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Really could not find this app by searching? Really?
[Vibrant General] drumsforjs:
agree.!!!
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
if i used the ADB version of ryan's lagfix and install this app, will it still work to unlagfix, etc?

dont want to **** anything up ... thoughts?

just installed it and checked, looks like unless the app has done the fix, it cant undo it.

all i can do is:

install ext2 tools

check data/data free space

unroot device 2.1

change scheduler
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
same with mine when i tried to install it.. you need to have 40% of battery or more in order to install the lag fix, at least that's what happened to mine..

charge it up then install it..
[Vibrant General] turbosix:
Did your first boot take like five minutes? Really thought I bricked my phone, but it finally booted.the reason I ask here is because another guy in the main thread had that same issue but was ignored. Boot takes at least 60 seconds of black screen before the boot animation loads..
[Vibrant General] Chief Geek:
I just DLed "one click lag fix" on Tuesday. Worked great for me. Does everything for you. However if it fails do a reboot between steps.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Your next step is to install ext2 tools. then, the option to apply the lag fix will be enabled. two more steps and you're done.

Those look great. So are these just more color variants of the T-mobile gel case? Or a different case?
[Vibrant Accessories] speoples20:
My friend got them from some whole sellers in Downtown LA. They were like $5 for each one because she got 5 of assorted colors. They fit just as good if not better than the T-mobile cases.
[Vibrant Accessories] thegreatcity:
Do they have any kind of texture to them? Or is it just smooth?
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
looks like a silicone case and not a gel case to me..

You need to install battery indicator from the market,it's free,and will do the job
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] APJG:
Settings-->CyanogenMod settings-->User Interface-->Status Bar-->Battery percentage

You may have to reboot for the setting to be applied, but I usually don't need to.

Battery indicator, not exactly what I was looking for, because it adds an additional battery icon, but good enough.

Thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stealth Pyro:
If you have a Cyanogen build like Shubcraft you can have the percentage placed inside the standard battery indicator on the status bar.

Go to Settings, CyanogenMod settings, User Interface, Status Bar, check Battery percentage. You might have to shut down and reboot.

Has anyone ever checked the gsensor calibration agains a real level. I did and found that my vertical sensor was off just a little toward the bottom of the device (toward the buttons). I noticed it was off during game play when I had to the device at a slight tilt to get the vehicle in the game to track straight.

So I leveled the level and set the hd2 on the leveled level then pressed calibrate. it calibrated to a slightly off center position.

Is there a way to fine tune the gsensor?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
For now you shouldn't calibrate g-sensor under android, it will freak out and make your build slow and problematic. This will be fixed with nand support hopefully in the future.

You can calibrate under winmo though, it should be correct then.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
There's no reason why nand will fix it. The driver in the kernel needs to be fixed probably.

A lot of people seem to think that nand will fix issues or make android run better, but nand is only going to improve boot up time. It may improve battery life slightly eventually, but other than that, everything is still moved to ram and runs from there, whether it boots from nand or SD. Nand is not going to magically make android run better or fix issues in the kernel.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
It was mentioned somewhere that calibration data was saved in nand and that was why calibration didn't work.

Even if this is not true, people working on kernel will definitely work on it after nand support is done. (They are busy with nand now)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] firebert:
This problem (along with most other Android on HD2 problems) lies in the kernel. Unfortunately Nand boot will not be any type of magic fix-all to all the bugs we have to deal with. It will help with problems some of us are experiencing when running Android off the SD card. But in the end it's up to the kernel developers to make Android on HD2 actually functional.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jimmy_wg:

Ok guys here the situation. I have sucessfully rooted my htc evo to rooted 2.2. I used djR3Z's tutorial on thedroiddemos.com both video and written. Many thanks to djr3z on his video. So with that my recovery that i have running is Amon Ra. Now I want to install cyanogenmod 6 . I did the whole process but theres an error on installing it and it is aborted. Im pretty sure that the problem is when i did djr3z's guide on rooting phone is that i never nand-unlocked the phone. Everyone is telling me to use the toast method to nandunlock the phone. I see videos and written guides and is seems to me that the toast method roots the phone. I need to know if i can do the toast method on the newest rooted 2.2 rom im on from djr3z. If anyone can help me i would really appreciate it. Oh and by the way I am A NOOB to this. If anyone can give a me a specific guide to work toast I would appreciate it. Thank you

[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
Hey, just putting it this out there. Had a problem with an Evo getting stuck in a boot loop. Not sure what the cause was. I did search the forums for a fix but everything I could find was referring to a rooted phone, and the problem with Exchange type e-mail did not apply in this instance. This phone was not being used with that type of e-mail account and the password was alphanumeric anyway. I did notice that the phone would reboot spontaneously on occasion early on, but I did not worry about it. I had read on the forums here that weird reboots are not all that uncommon. However, as time went by, the phone seemed to be getting more and more unstable. It has now reached the point that it will go through the boot cycle up to the 4G splash screen, then shut down and start over. I contacted Sprint, but being out of the 30 day trial period the only thing they were willing to do is file an insurance claim. So I talked to HTC and started the warranty repair process. The CSR I spoke with said it sounded like a chip had gone bad. Seems pretty painless so far but there is a bs "Triage and Technical Assesment" fee. Better than paying the $100 for the insurance though. Not looking for a fix. More just letting folks know. I would be interested to hear from any one that has gone through a warranty claim with HTC though. Still lovin' my Evo. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
Quick update. Received a call from HTC Customer care today. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the phone was repaired and on it's way back. It was only mailed out last Friday, so I don't think they could have gotten it until Monday or more probably Tuesday. At any rate, the CSR said that it was repaired and that they had also been able to fix the light bleed at the bottom of the screen. I was told to expect it Friday, so here's hoping.
[EVO 4G General] bharris25:
Don't know about the Evo but when I had issues with my diamond after a year I just went up to Sprint, the first time they tried to fix it and it seemed to work but shortly started doing what it was doing again, second trip they replaced it. Didn't have another problem.
[EVO 4G General] Pierceye:
Just adding some additional info here. I had my phone go bad with the exact same problem, 5 or 6 weeks after my girlfriends arrived. After a lot of horsing around with Sprint trying to get the problem resolved I sent this one back to HTC as well. I was pretty disappointed when they told me over the phone that it would be 2-3 weeks before it was sent back. Long story short, I called a few days later for a status update and they told me the phone was repaired, shipped, and out for delivery that day. A very pleasant surprise to say the least. They also told me what repairs were made on both phones. Main board replacement for each device. Seems like some of the early hardware might be a little sub par. The nice part is HTC seems to be on the ball when it comes to warranty repair. Some helpful info also; The triage fee is only charged if they deem the phone to have damage not covered by the warranty; Use the small Priority Mail Flat Rate box. $13 for guaranteed 2 day shipping, Delivery Confirmation(tracking #), and $500 insurance.
