[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memin1857:
PPP DOES support wifi tethering. I have been using ppp wifi tethering for ages now.

You just need to use command ipconfig /renew just once after windows pc is connected and complains about no internet connection (traffic) It works everytime with every ppp build that does not give error while enabling hotspot.

Mdeejay's newest builds (such as desire based 2.4.2 and desire hd based 3.4) have ppp almost as stable as rmnet. There is also the newest ril wrapper file which makes ppp better.

There is too much speed difference between RMNET and PPP and with the newer evo based kernels not supporting rmnet anymore, I think PPP is stable enough to forget about rmnet altogether. I get 1.5mbps/0.1mbps D/U with RMNET, and 4mbps/1.5mbps D/U with PPP. Huge difference.

Since RMNET-PPP switch is not something you would frequently do, I believe it is not very important to be able to switch without rebooting. (If PPP is not stable for you, than you make a rmnet switch one time with a reboot and thats all) Your previous startup.txt switch function was very practical.

EDIT: I just saw the date stamp of the post/thread. It was old and was bumped after a month. Well, at least I wrote about PPP/wifi tethering's current situation.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathologo:
This is so not true!

Current kernels are faulty regarding PPP and need to be fixed. Just look here.

In terms of stability :

Means many changes between GPRS EDGE and 3G. And almost every time it goes to GPRS the connection is lost and I need to switch on/off airplane mode. That's no fun. Better slow but reliable!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memin1857:
Try newer builds such as mdeejay desire based 2.4 or mdeejay desire hd based 3.4

ppp reliability has improved a lot lately.

I looked at your link. Those hard freezes are fixed already. Your link is a month old!

You are reading a one month old post, while I am using myself and this my own experience. ppp used to be very bad in the past, now it is much much better.

Actually you don't have a choice with the newest evo kernels.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pathologo:
You are wrong! Just go through this thread and you will actually see that is it NOT fixed!

I read through everyone's replies. I found a gscript that can change PPP and RMNET. I'll attach it and let me know if it works for you all.

EDIT: Sorry. It does require reboot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangsters:
uhmm that is the script i wrote for my build, and it is included as well in the build. it works only on my build unless the other builds also did the same changes i did
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djphredee:
How does this work? just drag and drop in the gscript folder?

Using a program called "Hot Reboot(shareware)" might accomplish what you're looking to do. It reset's Android's graphical shell - everything but the phone itself and sends you back to the splash screen and goes from there.

Could this be a plausible solution?

that might work, but shareware meaning it's paid afer a few days trial???

What about killing system server through dev tools? That sends you to splash screen...maybe also "reboots" android.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letama:
It can be done quite easily (not tested, I don't use rmnet):

switch to ppp:

touch /system/etc/ppp/active

killall rild

switch to rmnet:

rm /system/etc/ppp/active

killall rild

with a recent wrapper and a kernel that supports both, it should work.

restarting rild could cause modem to crash, but most of the time, it works. With minor modifications to wrapper, it should be possible to do it with an off/on on data without restarting rild.

Can someone please help me out? I am wanting to install a custom boot animation. I downloaded one from this forum and renamed it to bootanimation.zip. I place on my memory card then used Root Explorer to move it to /system/media. I rebooted the phone but no animation comes up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Galaxy S phones don't use bootanmation.zip they use a proprietary format QMG or something.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjindomini:
I'm sure you could purchase the tools for several thousands of dollars from the proprietor, Quram Soft.

The price isn't even available on their web site, http://quramsoft.com/solution_e/qmage.asp

The name of the QMG format is Qmage, I've been unable to ascertain if our phones use Qmage or Qmage - F.

See Topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=736412 for all the information that we have on boot animations, shut down animations, and sounds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
actually, you can do the bootanimation.zip, one of my co-workers was messing with it today... you probably need to set the permissions on the zip correctly.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fr4gg0r:
Hi,

I found this:

chart

Short explanation for non german reader:

max brightness

iphone 4: 486 cd/m²

SGS: 311 cd/m²

Nexus 1: 217 cd/m²

min brightness

iphone 4: 3 cd/m²

Nexus 1: 24 cd/m²

SGS: 84 cd/m²

As you can see, the screen brightness is still very very high, even if you set it to the lowest value.

So i took a look into the settings.db and saw, that the value for screen_brightness was 30, not 0. (I had set the brightness to the lowest possible before).

Maybe the Samsung preferences don't let you set the lowest available brightness?

I set the value to 0, but I'm not sure the brightness changed. =/

Someone else wanna try this and measure if the brightness really decreases?

Could save some battery...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] asgard:
Nice one, because of the technology we generally use less power than iPhone 4 for display HOWEVER if you display a lot of whites the AMOLED screen has the *POTENTIAL* (note: potential) to use 30% more power than the iPhone 4's H-IPS Backlit LCD.

So, another power saver tip is to use dark backgrounds as white/light ones use a lot more display power. This is a side effect of the AMOLED technology.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] discobolus:
This is probably the biggest quibble I've with this phone right now, so I was glad to find this post from supercurio's (creater of Voodoo) twitter: "Wow, minimum brightness on #GalaxyS can be tweaked to extremely low levels !"

I hope he'll share these findings with us soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Its pissing me off sooo much. Like at night even at min brightness its too bright, browsing market blinds me. Can't wait for supercurio's thing, he said he got the profiles figured out.

For now all i know is 18 is the lowest u can go, anything below just completely turns the backlight off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ickyboo:
You guys tried dimmer from market? Goes to 10.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] opensourcefan:
I simply pay more attention to my brightness now and control it myself. It adds to the to do list BUT I have gained about 30% battery life per day by doing it.

I find unless I'm in the sun there is no need to go beyond 38%.

I have a request. Can anyone provide a microSD card file listing (in it's original form) or an image of the file explorer when in it's original form? Reason I ask is because I mucked up my SD card before cloning the original.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Nobody can help me with this?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
The contents of that card contained proprietary, copyrighted material that can not and will not be shared on xda-developers.com forum.

I have heard of people taking their cards in to a T-Mobile store and getting either a replacement or a clone done for them.

T-Mobile is the ONLY authorized agent capable of giving you back the original material.

FYI: This thread is very close to violating the forum rules by asking for copyrighted material. However, I feel that the OP is sincere and not wholly aware of copyright violations involved in transferring the material by unauthorized means. Anyone who actually attempts to provide the material for the OP risks a forum ban.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
No no, what I meant by image is a photo of the list in File explorer. I have all the original stuff, I just need to know what to sort out from the crud I put on after

Rotation toggler is essentially an auto-rotate screen toggler application that allows you to enable or disable android's auto-rotate feature. This is useful especially when you don't want the screen to change its orientation when say..you're reading an ebook or browsing a site and don't want your browser to change its orientation. Just long press on the search button and select "rotation toggler" or launch the application in your app drawer and toggle the auto-rotation on or off. It is just that simple! Don't forget to try my other free apps. Ad-supported (requires and uses internet connection ONLY if you launch the app via app drawer).

I created this app out of a request from my friend who wants an app to easily toggle the auto-rotation in his nexus one. Thought I'd share this app with the rest of the world, i'm sure someone will find it useful. Enjoy :)

You can download Rotation Toggler along with my other android apps here:

http://slideme.org/user/mlbl
[Android Apps and Games] Timmmmmm:
You know there's already a free widget in the market that does this. And it doesn't have ads.

It's called "Autorotate OnOff" by Curvefish.
[Android Apps and Games] mlbl:
Mine is not a widget, its a replacement when u long press on the search button. so its an alternative. For instance you're in adobe reader, you just long press, select the rotation toggler and you're done. With a widget, you'd have to press the home button, toggle the widget.
[Android Apps and Games] AaBoyXX:
I wonder whether you could do that it woulden't rotate the home screen, bot like the browser (ect.) would? And so I don't have to switch manual every time.
[Android Apps and Games] kkssgg:
buttom customization would be nice (maybe long home press) as search button is being used by couple other apps (Quick Settings, Voice Search)
[Android Apps and Games] kekkle:
Long press Home: Task Switcher

Long press Menu: Show keyboard

Long press Back: Close App/Show History

Long press Search: Voice Search

Most buttons already have a long press function :p
[Android Apps and Games] mlbl:
Actually if i'm not mistaken the stock home screen for most phones won't rotate, at least my n1 doesn't unless you're using a custom home screen like adw or launcher pro. Also this is not possible to disable just one part of the system such as the home screen or the browser. Its either off entirely for all or none at all.

kkssgg > Can't be done for other buttons, apps are not allowed to use other buttons for long pressing as it interfere's with its existing functions (home screen long press - switch apps, menu long press - keyboard, back button long press - well nothing but so far its not possible to long press a back button).
[Android Apps and Games] formaldehyde:
Awesome app! Thank you very much! :)
[Android Apps and Games] mlbl:
Thanks! Don't forget to try out my other apps, I believe you will find them useful too. Enjoy :)

when i change to a new kernel i have to copy the ko files to the /system/lib/modules folder.

some builds have it so you can place those ko files into /sdcard/Android/root/system/lib/modules

the build im using doesnt seem to support this.

so if i open up the rootfs.img and add to init under

mount -t vfat -o fmask=0000,dmask=0000,rw,flush,noatime,nodiratime /dev/block/$partition /sdcard

[ $? -eq 0 ] || fail "Failed to mount the SD card. Cannot continue."

/bin/cp /sdcard/Android/system/lib/modules/*.ko /system/lib/modules

would that work??

if i put a ko in there it would copy it to system everytime i boot?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] the_scotsman:
From what I understand, when you put the files in /sdcard/Android/root/system/lib/modules, they get copied to /system/lib/modules on startup anyway.

So I would just copy them straight to /system/lib/modules and not worry about /sdcard/Android/root/system/lib/modules.

I've tried two different brand of anti-glare screen protectors and have been terribly disappointed so far.

The first one WOULD NOT stick to the edges of the screen, meaning I had a "bubble" around the entire perimeter of the screen. Not cool at all. I thought maybe it would go away after a few days, but it didn't.

The next one fit the screen perfectly, all the way to the edge all around...but made the screen look absolutely horrid. Like what an LCD looks like if it gets a tiny bit of water on it (can see little dots of RGB, I guess is my best description of it. I had to lick my computer screen to make sure). Any white background looked multicolored.

The Captivate screen is stupidly shiny, and has no resistance to fingerprints. I want both of these problems resolved. Anybody have suggestions?
