Right now I'm working on making sure all of the commands work. Progress is slow since Java really isn't the best language for manipulating individual bytes (although that could also be my lack of experience). Unfortunately if you have a 335i, none of this will help you. I think all of the current generation of BMW's (those with iDrive) and most european cars for that matter use the MOST bus. This is based on a fiber optic physical layer. The supported transfer rates are in the 100's of MHz so you'd need more than a microcontroller to talk to it. That being said, if anyone wants to fund me for a couple weeks and lend me their iDrive equipped BMW, I'd be happy to crank something out :rolleyes:

Hi TunaCanyon,

good to hear, that some other people are engaged with this topic.

I built a IBUS Bluetooth gateway half a year ago, last weekend I used to make the circuit look a bit more "professional" :P

I already built some piece of software based on the Bluetooth SPP example ("Bluetooth Chat") of Android SDK. It features logging ibus data (including simple packet recognition) and sending data to the ibus (with automatic checksum and length calculation). I just added CD changer emulation.

As I'm not experienced with Android programming and also didn't start with Java long ago, building a clean and working app is pretty hard for me, especially when it comes to services and threads... So after the easy datasheet reading and circuit routing part now the hard part follows.

Greetings,

kadolf
[Vibrant General] AlexSochi8:
After reading of a new Mytouch HD product that is coming for T-Mobile Im pretty impressed with specs but very turned off by the looks.

So that makes me wonder does vibrant have the technology to run on T-mobile's 4G network with simple software updates?

Reason I am asking this is because I know The iphone 4G will be able to run on 4G network as soon as AT&T launch their 4G service.

Thanks for any knowledge in advance
[Vibrant General] stefan.buddle:
.... Google is your best friend, its not 4g it's hspa+ on order to take advantage of that speed you ned the physical hardware in the phone which only the g2 had right now, in regards to the iphone 4, I've never heard anything about att launching any 4g network, I also work for att, the iphone doesn't have any hardware that support any faster speeds as far as I know
[Vibrant General] presence06:
iPhone can handle ATT's new "Faster 3G", but they don't have 4G. My understanding is the Vibrant can do HSPa, but not HSPa+? I don't know the difference but that's what i understand. 2G, 3G and HSPa.
[Vibrant General] epakrat75:
4G is just a marketing terms for the masses. After you look at this link...

http://shop.sprint.com/en/stores/popups/4G_coverage_popup.shtml

You should realize that the Vibrant is already capable of reaching the "average" speeds listed here (in areas with proper coverage). Wait...how is that possible?! It's not a 4G phone. Who cares!!! T-Mobile's network and phones already meet or exceed the speeds Sprint is advertising here. T-Mobile is way ahead of the curve here but they're not marketing the hell out of it. FYI, the average website (ATM) may have trouble maintaining a consistent throughput of 5-6 Mbps anyway. Even if you can go faster, does it really matter when the other side can't (yet)?
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
T-Mobile does not have a 4G network, and they probably won't roll out 4G for at least 5 years

Apple hasn't announced a 4G Iphone, so (by definition) you really don't know what you're talking about.

AT&T is set to roll out LTE, but it will almost certainly be data-only devices as they work the kinks out. (As Verizon has done)

You should ask yourself why you care about 4G. I doubt you'll notice much of a decrease in load times, and the carriers are probably going to charge out the yin-yang for the enhanced features they will be able to offer to everyone with 4G.

AT&T and Verizon are going to limited data (AT&T already has). You should really look past all the marketing and hype. All the carriers are guilty of confusing the public to serve their interests.
[Vibrant General] Xard:
All T-Mobile phones will benefit from HSPA+ as it's backward compatible. However, the theoretical maximum throughput on the Vibrant (or any legacy phone) that doesn't have the HSPA+ antenna built in caps out around 7Mbs as I recall. The G2 which is built to run HSPA+ has a theoretical througput around 15-20 I believe.

Seriously though, even 7Mbs is pretty stupid fast for a cell phone. :)
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Clear explanation

But one thing, i am in Boston and my vibrant never reach over 50KB/s...wtf

It supposed to have the + network already...
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I get 6mbps on my vibrant on hspa. Home wifi I get only 2.8, I see no difference in browser page loading time..

Downloading w will be faster but whatever.. 6 is all I need. I've only seen some people getting 8 on their g2s, meh, I'm happy with 6..... Hell I'm happy with 3mbps....
[Vibrant General] newkirk:
Check the data icon top center - should be two arrows (up/down) and 'G','E', or '3G' to indicate tech. GPRS would be my guess for 50k... EDGE should reach around 200kbps. (I've maxed at about 1.8 mbps 3g in Charlotte, about 210k edge nearer home, and about 12mpbs wifi - same locations as that last my netbook gets 40-70mpbs though.

Check 'settings'->'wireless and network'->'mobile networks' and make sure '2g only' is unchecked. If so I'd suspect a hardware problem. (double-check that 3g is available where you're testing, of course)

j
[Vibrant General] Emama:
This is 3g network already,

My phone and my gf's one has the same result

I can have up to 2000kB/s with my home Wi-Fi....but tmo network sucks..

I never see a "G" in that blue icon

And the above result is based on the 3G icon...if it is E, it has only 4-5 kB/s! !!

Any other guy in Boston can tell me if it is T-Mobile network sucks or my phone
[Vibrant General] ackattacker:
I live in Cambridge and just did the speed-test, 3g w/2 bars in my apartment. 129kbps download 614 upload. It really varies quite a bit probably depending upon network traffic.
[Vibrant General] jayprime:
Does the 7mb cap only apply to hspa, or hspa+. Because on my wireless g network I get blazing speeds.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
I am talking about KB not kbps,

129 kbps is really slow!

I try to compare my friend incredible verizon network at Cambridge

He has 280KB while i have only 45KB download....damn
[Vibrant General] namansell:
I get 5mbs in my hspa area on the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Should I call T-Mobile to ask about it as it is ridiculous to have only 50-70kB (Less than 0.6 Mbits) in HSPA+ area
[Vibrant General] Owenv:
theoretical caps. HSDPA 7.2Mbps, T-mobile's variety of HSPA+ 21Mbps according to a T-mobile press release, Wi-fi G 54Mbps.

real word numbers HSDPA 1-5Mbps in good coverage depending on network traffic, HDPA+ on a vibrant 3-7 Mbps again depending on network traffic, Wi-fi... depends on your home internet connection speed.
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
Some people seem to misunderstand whether or not a non HSPA+ phone (such as ours) can benefit from HSPA+. It indeed can, but not in a straightforward way. In order for T-Mobile to support HSPA+ in a given market they must make reasonable upgrades to their networks backhaul capacity to support it. And these backhaul upgrades will become more important as T-Mobile actually begins selling HSPA+ devices.

One of the most important factors often overlooked with any network is it's backhaul capacity. Bottlenecks in familiar networks can easily make themselves apparent. Take for example the traditional DSL and Cable networks most of us use for wired internet service.

While you may pay for a given advertised speed, whether or not you actually see those speeds has less to do with the connection type and more oftentimes to do with how it has been implemented. In the case of DSL for instance, whether or not you can experience your advertised speed reliably depends on how many other customers are routed through the same DSLAM, *AND* how good the backhaul connection from the DSLAM is to your providers internal network. The same thing occurs with Cable and how many customers are aggregated into a given areas HFC. Bottlenecks within cable and dsl infrastructures occur at different points (because they're architecturally different), but once your outside those infrastructures they both share the potential for having backhaul bottlenecks.

In my area cable is way the fastest connection option, and though I do not pay for the highest speed tier here (15/2, instead of the 10/1 I have), when 10/1 was the fastest tier I'd rarely actually see those speeds. Now I see those speeds reliably. Why? Well there are many factors that effect a network topology, but it's clear that in order to reasonably support 15/2, my cable provider had to make sure it's backhaul could actually handle the load, so it was likely updated to accommodate this.

Hope this clarifies things a bit.

i have 1 question : are we able to increase more than 7 homepages of android 2.1 with htc sense? i see some rom have that function but i want to do it manually for current rom :confused: i just want to add more widgets that 7 homepages is not enough
[Android Software Development] ghost_boy1412:
my mistake! the rom i just mention above is increasing from 5 to 7 homepages. so my question is "is it possible to add more than 7 homepages for android 2.1 with sense?"
[Android Software Development] Beppemi:
I dont think is possible.... but you can use another launcher for increase the number of home screen.
[Android Software Development] kanttii:
As far as I know, it is done by the launcher. If I remember right there was a launcher that has 15 or more home screens but is otherwise crappy. Ask capychimp or klothius, they may be able to help you.

I personally use only 3 screens.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] ajovanovski:
Can anyone please reply?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] h.boushi1987:

[Hero CDMA General] dumbwolf:
I know similar threads have been posted before... but as a noob myself, I didn't think to consider the class of sd card.

So before you make it a real pain in the ass for your self. Go buy a

class 6

. The lower sd cards will 'burn up', if you wait to long, may lose access to whats on your card. I found an 8GB class6 at Target for $40. This will also enhance the performance of your apps2sd feature.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pashax1:
I am having problems with Skype after rooting Mini Pro. Whenever someone calls me through skype, the phone keeps ringing forever and stops responding to everything... niether the buttons nor the screen accepts any input of anysort. The only way to stop the constant ringing is shutting down the phone by taking the battery out.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling skype but the issue remains the same. Any idea what i should do or is it a known issue after rooting?

Thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcat00uk:
hi im using LeeDrOiD_V2.1a_A2SD , is there any way to force apps to be run from the system memory instead of the sdcard, as far as i can tell it automatically goes to the sdcard?

would prefer to use the system memory for security software such as wavesecure?

thanks

John
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yes to run it from the system partition so it can not be removed the regular way, you just have to move the apk file from /sd-ext/app/ to /system/app/

This can be done using adb commands when in recovery or by applying the s-off hack and use an app like root explorer.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcat00uk:
thanks

the apk file was in the folder /system/sd/app

and root explorer let me enable r/w access in it, without enabling s-off

i'm hoping i did it right

:-0

thanks again

John
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Well you might be able to do it this way without s-off but it is not actually on the system partition. It depends on what Rom you are using.

But are you able to uninstall it using the settings menu?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcat00uk:
it still gives me the option to uninstall yes, but at this point i just wanted to get it running off the phones memory, rather than off the sd card

thanks :-)

John
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcat00uk:
ok it turns out root explorer didn't copy them over, so i copied them over with adb commands :-) , and wavesecure doesn't show up as uninstallable :-)

John
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beaverman20:
yeah, most of the programs out there (like root explorer) won't throw out an error if they can'y mount it as R/W... because HTC was clever enough to hide that it can't be mounted RW without S-off ;)

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marty1976:
One of the biggest issues I see with Android today is that security bugs do not get patched until my manufacturer releases a new firmware, while very few enjoy OTA updates.

Will Gingerbread change that, so that all phones "with Google" will get patched more or less in realtime?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] user7618:
Probably not until all manufacturers decided to use just vanilla android, and I don't see that happening anytime soon. Htc, Moto, and Sammy, for whatever reason, insist on inflicting their custom skins on us, and updating those is what takes so long.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marty1976:
I thought that's what Gingerbread would try to solve?

Therefore my question if bugs will be patched promptly by rolling out patches OTA.

It would even suffice to have a "android-patch-announce" mailing list I could subscribe to. I'd then download and update by myself.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ramdroid77:
As far as I'm informed Google only stated that the new Android UI will be so good that it's not necessary that phone manufacturers develop their own UI over it. I have nowhere seen in written that they are not allowed anymore to build them.

But I wonder why automatic updates are still not possible? I mean look at your notebook. You have Windows 7 on it and the manufacturers (Toshiba, Acer, etc.) add their own stuff on top i.e. like an enhanced Desktop and whatever, but the Windows update is of course still working.

Maybe the problem is that Android quickly grew the few years since it's existence in order to have a "fullly working system" like we have it now. Once the main structures of the platform are stable, maybe it's easier to adapt 3rd party software. But then, the switch from 2.1 to 2.2 is not very heavy, isn't it?

I hope as well there's a solution soon! It's very annoying! I have a HTC Wildfire with 1&1 brand (German phone network). First you have to wait until HTC provides the update to 2.2 but then you still can't use it because 1&1 have to update their software as well. Maybe just installing the HTC firmware but then you loose the warranty of your phone.... stupid **** really!
