prl fix

once your prl is updated correctly or to the one that will work in your area you will then have 3g if you dont want to do a trial by error ask someone local if you can check their phone what prl they are using by going in a android and goign to settings and about phone and somewhere in there it will tell you what prl cricket gave them.. any way my site has a whole bunch of prls that might help you
[EVO 4G General] oxeneers:
This has been known for a while. Sprint doesn't want people saying "OMG MY PHONE IS ON 2G OMG". That's why data speeds are super slow sometimes. You're on 2G.
[EVO 4G General] skillzo1:
So is there a fix for this....because im always wonsering y it says i have 3g but but my connection is horrible.
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
Sprint did this on purpose so people wouldn't freak out about 1X. There were a bunch of gigantic threads when the EVO first came out about this. All stock EVO roms do it.
[EVO 4G General] :
There still is no way to turn 3g of and on and run on 2g to conserve battery when you dont really need the 3g speed to go on.
[EVO 4G General] datdirtyscrew:
Bump... I'm really wanting more attention to this subject. Is there a way to get it to say 1x when it indeed is 1x as oppose to a false 3g or is there a widget for this maybe?
[EVO 4G General] heygrl:
"Mobile Signal Widget" in the market
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Crazy. The FCC is okay with this?
[EVO 4G General] mrfyisms:
My 3g icon changes to 1x when I'm in the middle of nowhere. CM6

You have been EVOfied.
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
Yes. You're on CM. The problem is with sense roms.
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
Flash calklins rom its shows true signal.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
It's not reporting that it's on 3G. It knows it's on 1x. It's just that Sprint and HTC made the images for 1x the 3G icons (at least for Sense ROMs). You could edit the framework-res.apk images if you want. It was definitely by choice too because on Verizon's Droid Incredible, when you roam on Sprint it shows 1x. AOSP ROMs have the proper 1x indicator.

EDIT: ****. It was solved. Whoops.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
I read about people trying to edit the framework but didn't have success. I would really like to get the Sense-based display to show 1x. Do you know of a resolve somehere? Please point the way. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I've edited the framework-res.apk file. It's how you change the notification bar icons (battery images, etc). I believe there are already images in there for 1x, so you just have to rename the real 1x images to replace the "fake 1x" images.

An apk is just a zip file. Rename it to .zip, open it (on your computer), go into the drawable-hdpi folder and do the work. Then rezip it, rename it to .apk and push it back to the phone.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Thank you F(RED). I will take a look and report back.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
F(RED): Do you remember the exact files you replaced. I looked at the files and found stat_sys_data*.png. There are 1x and 3g files (along with GSM/UMTS stuff that is not used). The files have corresponding names. That is to say, the files named 1x indeed has 1x graphics inside. I'd appreciate a bit of help.

Cheers.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Find the ones that falsely have "1x" in the filename. As in the ones with 1x in the name, but they're 3G icons. Then just duplicate the real 1x images and replace the false 3G images.
[EVO 4G General] JoeLithium:
If someone gets this fixed can you throw a flashable zip in the development thread?
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
I went back and looked again, all of the files that would indicate 1x in fact has the 1x graphic inside. I had everything displaying in thumbnail view. I did not find any file that shows 1x while the graphic is 3g. Presuming you got it working, do you remember the file names?

Edit: I suspect something else is directing the display to show 3G while it is actually 1xRTT.
[EVO 4G General] surfsnow:
I have the same issue as snovvman. All four 1x files are actual 1x images.
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
So find the second set of 3G images and replace them with the 1x images. It takes some testing.
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
F(RED), have you successfuly implemented this change or is it a theory? If you were successful, what were the file names?

You first instructed one to locate files with 1x in the name containing 3g graphic, and replace the 3g graphic with 1x. You then instructed one to located a "second set" of 3g and replace with 1x.

Again, when I look at the content of my framework file, there is NO file named 1x containing 3g graphic, therefore, there is simply NO "second set".

Please advise.
[EVO 4G General] notasimpleway:
Our phones do go to 1x. If you send a text or receive one the phone will switch over for a moment to receive that message. I have an app in the market which will allow you to switch to 1x. However, it will not save you battery. CDMA networks don't work the same way as GSM. Also, the reason you never see the 1x or 2G is because they've taken it out. It's still there in the framework, but it doesn't show up. Or your ROM dev took it out or has added it. It's actually kinda annoying that HTC removed the 1x/2g icon in the taskbar. It's still in the framework because I'm using the icon for my app. But I doubt many people even care about their current network. I think HTC and/or Sprint did that so people would always think they are on a 3g network.

My app is called Network Switch if you want to try it out. I'm going to be adding a notification in the task bar in a few days that will tell you which network you are on. ie 2g or 3g. This app lets you select 2g only, 3g only, or hybrid(default). The only problem is a 3g only connection will cause you to miss texts till you switch to 2g only or to hybrid. Like I said earlier, texts only come through on 2g. If you stream a lot of movies via tethering on 3g, you'll notice if you text a lot while doing so that sometimes the buffering will slow down...because of the switching back and forth. I hope this helps. I mainly made the app to keep my connection on 3g while tethering so I wouldn't be interrupted while I work since I work from my laptop a lot.

My app only works with Sense ROMs though. It's not built for CM or AOSP ROMs at the moment.

Hope all is well for you XDAers.
[EVO 4G General] nivron:
Figured it out! :)

Here's My Post
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Cool! It looks good. I will give it a try later. So it is not the graphics after all...
[EVO 4G General] nivron:
Nope -- not the graphics, unless the ROM dev removed them. Hopefully more Sense ROM maintainers will update their ROMs with this and get the icons themed. The icons may look out of place if the dev didn't theme them. :)

Let me know if you need any help -- or when you succeed in modifying!
[EVO 4G General] snovvman:
Just did it, looking good, will report on the other thread. Thanks again!

i tried a lot a things in order to synchronise my HTC with Ubuntu, but no result. Is there a way to go ?

[Touch CDMA General] xport:
Longtime vogue user, and the move to the legacy forum has had me looking for a new toy....

I have been looking out for a deal to move the wife and I from the Vogues to the Incredible/DroidX/Droid2. I do not want to have a flipout keyboard, so of you guys who may have moved, looking to move away from the Vogue, what do you think? Wait for a deal on the X or jump on the deal for the BOGO Incredibles. Seems like a good deal to me...
[Touch CDMA General] PaceyWhitter:
I have read that the Fascinate is better than both the Incredible and the X.
[Touch CDMA General] thoughtlesskyle:
the fascinate is the last phone i would go with though, the fact that bing is the default search engine seems weird to me, if i were on verizon i would totally do the incredible esp since Myn's warm twopointtwo has been ported to it and also incubus has it too so you got some good talent on your side there.

the droid X is cool but the Efuse thing is def a pain to work around from what i have seen.
[Touch CDMA General] jmitr:
I've played with the incredible in Verizon stores on US overnights. Very similar to my Desire and just plain awesome even stock.

Make the move, you won't regret it.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
i went with droid 2 for price. the locked bootloader/kernel sucks. HOWEVER, coming from vogue / raph, it's DAMN snappy even on stock. plus we've got a true aosp rom now so you can totally dump the blur stuff if you don't like it.

i really wanted the keyboard, so that pushed me to the d2... but the incredible was REALLY tempting and if you've enjoyed the hackability of vogue, you may want to go with the dinc.

yeah, but no sense on the fascinate ;) yet another personal preference item.
[Touch CDMA General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i say move to the incredible or the facisnate...both are good phones :)
[Touch CDMA General] mikurej95:
Whatever phone you get, make sure it has the minimum requirements for Gingerbread (3.0)

I think it was 1 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, and 3.5 Touch Screen.

but thats pretty standard for all new phones. have fun with gingerbread!!
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
I thought that those specs were a hoax...

@OP

If you have to stay with the big red, you may want to stick to the DInc. The Moto phones are awesome but the fact that they are beyond locked down will limit your ability to do a whole lot of things tht you may be used to with your Vogue...

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] t2noob:
I actually didn't upgrade market this way but it got updated on it's own but reverted back to original market because it wouldn't let me upgrade or download new apps it would say it download it but it would never install them. So for now I'll be sticking to the old market. In case you want the old market pull it from stock rom or a rom like plainjane and then replace it and delete the market updater this will let you keep the market without it getting updated.

Did you try restarting after installing the new market? I was having trouble with it as well, but after a restart it was able to download and install apps again.

[Touch2 General] cyclesounds:
I read in the manual that you can change the layout of the keyboard. the only option I see is qwerty....how to do I make it show the cell phone keyboard?
[Touch2 General] ardavies:
Arrow

When you have the keyboard open, there is an icon underneath it, with an arrow pointing upwards. If you get your stylus out and press the arrow (not the keyboard icon), you will get a few options (Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY and Full QWERTY). I use full QWERTY but I do admit that the Phone Keypad is quite easy to use.

Hope that helps
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
Hey guys, i got the update and so far so good. One thing i noticed is that it takes a longer swipe to unlock the screen now. Anyone notice that?
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
hi there, i don't have an update yet but can i ask what's your phone status?

are you rooted or running a stock vibrant?
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
Totally stock
[Vibrant General] Zylograth:
this showed up in the JI5 update as well
[Vibrant General] atatistcheff:
FYI

Just installed the OTA a couple of hours ago, I noticed no difference in the distance it takes to swipe to unlock.
[Vibrant General] JimDog:
Same here.
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
There's a huge difference in the swiping distance required to unlock the screen. I got the update and noticed it right away (I'm completely stock). Since my girlfriend's Vibrant hasn't received the OTA yet, we ran a test to compare. From placing your finger at the lower left hand corner of the screen and swiping to the upper right hand corner, I am required to swipe approximately 75-80% of the distance to unlock my screen whereas my girlfriend's Vibrant is only required to swipe half (50%) the total diagonal length of the screen.

Huge difference when you're used to unlocking "the lazy way."

I am also noticing more overall lag (in the browser and especially in the gallery) but need more time to play with it. GPS is better though.
[Vibrant General] dan0zone:
That's it someone call T-Mobile and tell them to pull the update, it's to much work to unlock the phone now ......

This has been since JI2 not an issue , just something to get used to ... deal with it ... now that they fixed everything else people nit_picking!!!! and this after most of you said no update would come or GPS is a hardware problem .......

I mean come on people .:.....:......:.
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
Well I never said any of that, and I also never complained about my GPS... but rock on with your bad self, Danzone.

Anyway, attached is a pic comparing finger position after a successful unlock. Again, starting from the lower left hand corner and swiping to the upper right hand corner.
[Vibrant General] mikea3000:
OK, so I am not the only one. With the amount of times i have to swipe my screen to unlock it daily, this is a major annoyance. The motion is literally double if not more.
[Vibrant General] mattox59:
I have noticed that the swipe is longer ow, but other than that no issues. no lag and gps is perfect now. used odin.
[Vibrant General] SamVib:
I noticed that when I flashed JI2. Takes a lot of more effort to unlock. Didn't bother me much, I got used to it.

I flashed Bionix, which is based on JI6, and have the default lock screen. It's much better than the one that comes w/ touchwiz.
[Vibrant General] grennis:
Yes, this is extremely annoying. For a while I couldn't even figure out why my phone wouldn't unlock. I thought it was a bug. Actually, I still consider this a bug. :mad:
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
Are you kidding me? People this day and age are getting lazier and lazier..
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
I noticed this too, but I can get used to it. I'm just happy to have a working GPS device!
[Vibrant General] tgerbracht:
Yep, totally longer, though I imagine I'll acclimate in a few days. Odin update was cake.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Just go the shortest distance possible which is from exact left to exact right.

I also would suggest flashing a custom rom like bionix 1.7 to make unlocking the phone considerably easier (as well as other benefits of course).

[Windows Mobile] Farsite:
I'm looking to build my first custom ROM for my HD2 T8585. I'm not a noob to programming but have never been in a kitchen before. So I'm tentatively dipping my toes in.

My plan is to use the stock ROM as my starting point and then gradually customise it to my needs. I downloaded a copy of it from the internet (RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship)

and imported it into osKitchen v1.32.1

Thats where I'm at now and I have a few questions before I continue.

When I go to the EXT Packages tab, there are a couple of errors listed.

Both appear to be syntax errors in registry settings. should I open up the files and correct these. (I did open them and can see what the problems are I think)

Next, I want to remove some of the EXT Packages, CoPilot and NaviPanel for a start. Is it simply a case of unchecking their boxes.

Lastly, for now, If I want to update some of the EXT Packages, say YouTube, is it just a matter of unchecking its box and importing a new package to take its place.

after completing the above could I then build the Rom and flash it to my beloved HD2 without risking turning it into an expensive paper weight?

Thanks for reading and any help you can offer
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
The easiest thing is just to remove packages you don't want from the kitchen, that way you won't forget and accidentally cook them in. But, yes, just uncheck the box.

Just fix the reg files manually. It pretty much tells you what to do.

Bringing in new EXT's can be problematic if they also need dll's from newer builds that you don't have.
[Windows Mobile] Farsite:
Great thanks, I think I'm just being over cautious.

Just one more quick Q.

on the SYS Packages, there are a few entries listed as "Useless" is that really the case? and can they be removed without adverse effects?

thanks for your patience.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Farsite,

sorry, but all your questions are already answered and fixed in OsKitchen thread.

This is your 1st time cooking but there are already a lot of custom roms around and this means that your problems are already fixed.

Please..use OsKitchen thread if you have some questions about that,open a new thread is totaly useless.

Best regards.

I installed the latest one click froyo 2.2 update to my captivate...and the phone still doesn't support bluetooth voice commands...when will they fix this? Is the captivate the only phone on the market that doesn't have bluetooth voice command support? :(
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
You are using a pre-release beta software build. So making any judgments based on this build is premature.

Until there is a Galaxy S phone running an official 2.2 release, we will not know what is included and what is not. After the official build is out, we should be able to add what is missing.

BTW, this issue has been mentioned many times since the 2.2 build was available.
[Captivate General] stewart2568:
oh okay thanks....so will i be able to get the OTA update when it comes out or will I have to get from this site?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
No one knows how Samsung will package 2.2. OTA is expected, but it may be to big and they may direct us to use Kies. I am sure XDA will also have it available along with many cooked versions.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
The bluetooth is screwy on the leaked 2.2. When I turn off BT I get a notification that remote SIM is active, and that wont go away until I turn BT back on and off again.

That said the leaked 2.2 is still better IMO than any 2.1 build I've tried. If I wanted a simple, childishly easy phone I would go back to my iphone or get a dumb phone.

When you play and experiment take that into consideration when saying what your doesn't this and wont that.
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Same here with the remote sim message. I wonder if it has to do with the A2DP bluetooth profile...
[Captivate General] ykonson:
There is a way

There is a way to voicedial over bluetooth on the Captivate, although not without a flaw.

1. You need to install Vlingo, it is available on the market, and it is free.

2. You need to use a headset that supports A2DP profile ( I can not explain this, but I know by experience of trying several headsets that only those supporting A2DP work)

3. In order to voicedial your screen has to be unlocked.

After the initial pairing, some headsets will only work after you hqave rebooted the device.

I am using the leaked 2.2.

Not sure if it will work on a Cupcake pone.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
yet with all these problems people on here act if someone is crazy cause they cant wait for the official version to come out. There is leaked 2.2 roms and they are great they say. Yes there kool but again its not the one samsung intended for the phones which is why it was never released. I myself always find to many bugs with 2.2 to live with and cant wait till official comes out. After that we will begin to see a much better set of 2.2 roms less buggy and performing the way it was intended to.

Hi All,

I have a Asus P535. I love the phone but I have a problem with the screen.

It got wet in my pocket while riding my motorcycle and now, when I switch it off the device turns off except the screen is all white, so it depletes the battery all the way down.

I am keeping it plugged in all the time not to have white screen due to battery low and turn off.

Other than that everything seems to work fine.

Any suggestions?
