One tip I've read about, try using Channel 1.

It does seem to be the best for maintaining connection when experiencing repeated drops.

I've connected to my 2 grandkids' Touchs (or is that touches .. lmao) but best results on ch.1

cheers

i have rooted my phone earlier today using unrevoked 3 and i have install the new version of wireless tether - pre 10 and although it shows my htc evos connection as local or limited connection on my computer, i have yet to gain internet access. it shows limited connectivity and doesnt allow me to go online. i am confused and give up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morrichad:
yes must agree about channel 1 on on wifi tether. I have iPad ios4.2 beta 2 running on my hook to my evo using standard stock rom 2.2 rooted. Using pre8 edition wifi tether, sometimes starting connection would not connect right away. I suggest toggle wifi-tether on and off about 2 times and give the iPad time to connect, one more thing could try on iPad is utilize forget this network if applicable and see if that helps! Hope all works out okay for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeancw:
oh boy, this issue again huh??

i almost returned my evo cuz my ipod touch 3gs wouldnt connect to it. sometimes it saw the connection sometimes it didnt...also it varied whether i had a passcode or not. i just gave up.

also, no phones can connect to it but my computer/laptop can. WEIRD!! i always maintained the latest wireless tether. once i root my phone again ill try this. but i will not get my hopes up.

also,

it sucks so bad that i have stopped using the ipod due to no internet and have gotten in deep with the g/f since she bought it for me...lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leebo:
This suggestion seems to have done the trick (toggling). I tried to connect using my old HTC Fuze and had no luck with that either. So I guess that puts doubt that the issue is client side.

I then turned WT off and back on. Lo and behold my Fuze was able to surf. Did the same with my WiFi only iPad.

I'm using the Pre9 version on my HTC stock 2.2 (rooted).:)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fflakes:
I've fixed the sod after flashing 2.14 radio on my tmous hd2. However, now when I return from standby, the screen turns on but I can't unlock it using touchscreen. I can unlock it fine if I enable the menu button, after which the touchscreen will still not work but menu button does. Then after about 30 sec everything works.

This problem only happens after being on standby for a long time, ie. 30 min plus. I'm using shubcraft rom.

Is this the freezing error from g sensor or something else?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] conantroutman:

Try waking up the phone with the yes/call/send/green key. (Instead of no/hangup/red/power key)

Also if you disable auto rotate from settings display, you won't get touch freezes because of g sensor. You can try it.

You can even disable g sensor completely if you want, but you don't need to as auto rotate fix works.

Please provide feedback.

I've uninstalled some programs and changed the settings and it seems to have gotten better. I put back on the auto rotation settings and so far so good, so I don't know exactly what did it.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
I am pretty much in love with swype.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jim13524:
I use swype as my everyday keyboard, and have been looking for a replacement as I find it makes too many of the same mistakes, it needs some kind of contextual error correction. I tried SwiftKey and it found it didn't seem to register all my key presses when I typed quickly. The only reason I like swype over any other keyboard is because you can type pretty fast one handed. Coming from a blackberry, I'm still looking for a good keyboard for android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
I can't type with Swype on the go.. Therefore I couldn't care less for it. Not walking, not driving, not stopped at a light with the phone in the car dock, etc..

I really don't see how these two keyboards compare at all? Swype is intended to be a continuous swipe of the finger, SwiftKey is JAFK.

I bought SwiftKey as it's cheap, but honestly I still use HTC IME primarily. SwiftKey is still a little quirky sometimes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonym4n:
I love swiftkey, I rarely type, the future predictions of swiftkey saves me a lot of time and energy. It cost only $0.99

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D200P13:
wow thats alot of keyboards...

i told a friend that got a nexus so everything i like i send to him and swype was the 1st keyboard he used. hes not able to run it at all now so he switched to swiftkey but still didnt like it. i recommended slideit and he loves it. i can see why. 2 features swype doesnt have that slideit does is the voice-to-text and the possible words on the top of the keyboard. swype does have a small pop up of possible words but that seems to waste more time. i hope swype improves because its such a popular keyboard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbobalu:
Currently using Swype but I bought SwiftKey as it was on sale.

What I am really waiting for is BlindType it looks awesome that you can type without a keyboard blocking half the screen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallan:
Well, I'm currently using the swype beta, and also bought swift key to take advantage of the sale.

So far I think that swift key has a slight advantage over swype because it can be used to write in different languages at the same time, which is really important to me because I'm constantly writing in both Spanish and English.

However, I think that my typing was a bit faster with swype, and changing the swype language isn't that much of a hassle.

So yeah, I haven't quite decided on it yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrganizedFellow:
Swype for the win!

I've tried everything else mentioned above!

The MAIN reason I stay with Swype is speed, English and Spanish, plus speed ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabler:
Yeah.. agreed with speed.. We can type quickly with swype.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
Anyone try ultra keyboard?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
I use both. Swype is great for entering a short block of words. It has a terrible unresolved UI bug where you can't disable pop up notifications of dictionary collisions, especially if they involve names from my address book. For example, typing "to" collides with "Yip" about 50% of the time.

If I'm typing many sentences, eventually this Swype bug makes want to chuck my phone out the window, so I switch to SwiftKey. I love how it predicts strings of 4-5 words at a time. But then my fingers get tired of hunting and pecking, and back to Swype I go.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0uisz:
i love Swype! =)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gibosn6594:
You guys should say if you've used both before proclaiming one keyboard as #1.

I've never used Swype, but I'm really happy with Swift right now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Hate swypes vertical word prediction box. It should be horizontal like every other keyboard. Swift is actually a more accurate. Infact...I'm kind of getting tired of swype...so I'm trying to migrate over to Swift.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
After using swift for a while it is starting to piss me off it will try to auto correct me when I don't misspell things. But swype can be hard because sometime my finger won't slide very easily. I turn off the box that picks words if I misspell words I correct them when I get done.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
SwiftKey is much more pleasant if you disable the auto-correct with spacebar. It's still got a few quirks though. If I choose the wrong word and then go back and tap a different suggestion, sometimes it messes up and replaces only half the old word.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeneal22:
All I know is I was trying to type my email and it messed it up so bad I just switched to swype and typed the entire thing without picking up my finger.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lamensterms:
what is JAFK?

i like swype, but it does make a lot of the same mistakes, if you could edit it's primary dictionary... it would be much better. every time i try to swype 'see' all i get is 'ee'.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] partyboynx2:
Hello, I just had a question about adding new programs on my Rhodium. Whenever I install a new program over active sync, or through a .cab file, it places the link to the program (the icon) right in my start menu (Using a Rom that has WM 6.5 with the new start page)

But, in my start page, there are folders like "Internet," "Tools," and "Multimedia" that I would like to add my new programs into. For example, I want my Slacker Radio app I just installed to show up in the Multimedia folder instead of just thrown at the end of my start menu.

I was wondering if there's any tweaks or anything to get my new programs to be installed to one of these folders instead of just the start menu.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
You can use Total Commander or JSPA Program Manager to move the shortcuts to the desired folder. JSPA is the easiest to use and is free.

The encryption type is set to WPA2, but I tried the other settings and have the same problem as well.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalepl:
OK. Check this. Open the 3G Mobile Hotspot app. On the main screen, select Manage Users. It should bring up a screen with Allow Users Only and Max. Connections. Max connections should be 5 and ensure Allow Users Only is unchecked. Go back and start the app and see if it is now working. If it does, the problem was this. With allow users only checked, the system will ask you if you want to allow the connection when a system tries to connect. If you are not paying attention, you can miss this request. The app will say that you have a connection, and so will your system, but it will not allow packets to pass through since you did not give the system permision to connect. With this unchecked, any computer with the correct password will be able to connect.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
Hey everybody. I'm very new to Android and have been using the iPhone the past 3 years. I bought an iPhone 4 a month ago off an upgrade from my 3G at the Apple Store. I would like to switch to the Samsung Captivate. What is the best way to do this? Can I use the Captivate on the same 2-year contract? And are you former-iPhone users happy you made the switch? Thanks guy. This is an awesome site and even though I haven't had an Android device I follow this forum and can't wait to put all the sweet mods on my Captivate to make it much faster than the iPhone!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodger-sp:
Captivate

Yes I had the iPhone 4 I return it and purchased the Samsung captivate I am much happier with the Samsung captivate over the iPhone 4 the fact that you can change everything on the phone is awesome you can have a custom launcher custom icon and a custom lock screen *in my opinion the samsung captivate is far superior to the iPhone 4*
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchem:
i believe you have to do it within 30 days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooomoto:
If you're willing to pay full price for the Captivate, yes you can use it with your current data plan. You can call AT&T and have them change it to the non-iPhone plan or just have the sales guy do it at the store...but I'm pretty sure they cost the same.

As far as being happy I made the switch...hell yes. I couldn't stand the restrictions that had been placed on the iOS software. It annoyed me to no end that in order to simply change the colors of something, or move icons around I had to circumvent security measures that had been put in place (jailbreaking)...which then led to a ferocious battle with an Apple "Genius" who physically broke my phone while "repairing" it and then blamed the USB hardware error on my jailbreaking software, and Apple sending me to a different Apple store to get a refurbished phone as I called and confirmed that the hardware error I was getting could NOT be caused by jailbreaking. I'd had enough. Not to mention everyone in an Apple store at any given time looks like a hardcore douche.

I love the openness of Android. I had a G1 back in the day but broke it, and didn't have enough money to buy a new one...but I had a contract renewal with ATT which is how I ended up with an iPhone. It feels great to be able to do whatever I want with my phone. I thoroughly enjoy learning about the inner workings of Android and flashing different ROMs, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
Thanks for all the responses guys. I think I'm going to be happy switching to the Android. Another question - what about music? How does that work with the Android devices. I know it's based off an expandable SD card, but is there like an iTunes alternative to sync my music and transfer the music? Also, once I do the switch I am definetely going to root the device and apply one of the new Roms that take the AT&T crap out and make it run faster. I am VERY familiar with jailbreaking the iPhone, I have been doing it ever since 2.2.1. Is it as easy to learn how to root as it is to jailbreaking? Thanks guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4vr:
syncing music

There's an app called DoubleTwist that's supposed to be equivalent to what iTunes would do on the iPhone (without the store, anyway.) I've tried it but haven't had a lot of luck yet...probably due to peculiarities in my environment.

If you know where the media files are supposed to go on the device, it should be as simple as copying them to it over USB.

The Captivate does come with 16 GB on its "internal SD card," so the SD card is optional for that :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahui9:
you can download music directly to your phone and save the hassle of syncing with at computer..

and best part is most of the time its free, but there really isn't much of a market yet, but you can download any mp3 file you wanted and its not tied down to iTunes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nooomoto:
Not yet. But you can use an alternative home screen program such as ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro. These programs run on top of your operating system and changer the user interface to pretty much anything you want
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zysoclaplem:
I had an iphone 3G, 3GS and 4. The Captivate is a better device than all of them in almost every regard. The only things that the iPhone 4 has over the Samsung Captivate are:

Better Camera with Flash

Working GPS

Better games (my opinion)

Better music player UI

You can get a few different launchers for the Captivate that work pretty well. I use LauncherPro. It's not stock Android but it gets rid of a lot of the TouchWiz.

And it's very customizable.

I am happy with the switch to Android. If I don't keep it it's only due to the GPS issues and I will move on to a different Android device.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazyphire:
I was with you up until the games (which I understood to be an opinion) and the Music UI. In my opinion the music app that samsung provides is more than adequate and considering the controls in the lockscreen with the slide down disc to change songs and in the notification bar. Not too mention the array of EQ features and 5.1 channel output it definitely trumps the iphone.

But of course that is subjective :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aNdroidnut:
I am about to come back to the captivate from the iphone 4. I always go back to the iphone to stop my love for hacking and modifying the phones general purpose. The captivate is a great phone on att as far as android goes. The ui helps alot of iphone users to adjust for the simple fact that it mimics ios. You know I did go back to the iphone this last time because I got my captivate cheap on craigslist and made a killin to buy an iphone outright. I got the iphone 4 because of flash and front facing camera. After a month with it Ive just come to the conclusion that I dont even like the flash and I dont use face time enough to justify the cause. I really wish I had sprint cause my ideal device is the evo(led notify and front camera) but I get a great deal through work with att so the captivate is just a better 3GS IMO!
