Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. iPhones are preferred for no reason, Facebook Places has been out for quite some time now, and we can all use the HTML5 based touch.facebook.com. However, the Facebook application for Android keeps being the same lame old duck as always.

I've been writing reviews, complaining, participating on discussions on Facebook and several other locations, but nothing happens. It is ridiculous that I now have to open my browser and use touch.facebook.com everytime.

But whatever :(

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzthevan:
In Settings->Wireless Networks->Mobile Networks,

I have "Data Roaming" unchecked.

I'm in an area when my weak-signal 2G connection on T-mobile frequently drops out and restores. Every time it restores, a popup graciously informs me: "Attention! Data Roaming will incur extra charges. Disable Data Roaming?" I must click yes to dismiss the window.

I don't get what part of the setting (Data Roaming: UNCHECKED) the OS doesn't understand!:confused:

Am I missing something or is there a special way to really disable data roaming or get rid of the popups?

thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Does it still show that it is connected to data when it is roaming?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzthevan:
I sometimes see the Edge symbol in the top row. I just figured out that a couple of other carriers are sometimes weakly picked up at my location. I have a pay-as-you-go tmo sim in the phone (unlocked). I thought data roaming was not a possibility anyhow (I'm a noob at this). I only want to use 2G for phone, and wireless for data.

What I'm really hoping for is to NOT be asked to disable data roaming, since I made that setting.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Well here is a better option. Go into Settings>> Wireless and Network >> Mobile Networks >> Access Point Names >> Click on Menu & select New APN and create Dummy one. Then before selecting the back button make sure there the radio button for the dummy APN is selected. This should prevent you from connecting to Tmobile Data Services.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzthevan:
Thanks. That seemed to have worked, in that I don't get the roaming popups anymore. It seems that it may prevent me from roaming on 2G as well, but I'm not sure - I'm trying to figure this out whilst in cellphone hinterlands (in the San Juan Islands where the locals hate cell towers). Now I'm getting a string of popups requesting that I automatically search for providers, even though I've set it to manually select tmo. What I'm hoping for is just tmo 2G for phonecalls and SMS, with no guff from the phone about it. My Razr does that just fine.

Tomorrow, I'll drive off to a more cell-friendly area and make a better determination.

Appreciate the help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
I am glad it worked. Just set your phone to select automatically and you should be ok. Since you changed your APN, it will not connect to internet anymore using 3G. I know this coz, I used this while in Toronto last month.

Hi!

I'm looking for a application that would add program shortcuts to the WM 6.1 home screen. Just 6-10 shortcuts, no tabs needed. Something like HTC Home (not available for my Acer M900) or SPB Pocket Plus (annoying tabs, too many unneeded features).

I tested a few programs like this, but they made too many changes to the start menu.

And it would be cool, it that or another application would allow to quickly change phone profiles (normal/vibrate/silent) either by a programmable button or better by shortcuts on the home screen. in this regard SPB Pocket Plus does not work on my M900.

Please recommend, thanks.

Have been using JP6 for a few days now when today I noticed a lot of FC's so I restarted my phone and the CSC/Modem disappeared entirely! It was back to the default UI and had no phone/data.. wtf?

Had to factory reset from recovery mode then all was well (I had to re-enter the Bell APN settings again to get data back)

I wonder if this was some kind of botched OTA update?

Anyone else see anything like this?

[Desire General] mad-murdock:
since i do a lot of reflashing, trying various operating systems or changing the partition sizes and reflashing my favorite os (which is cyanogen atm, since its about double as fast as all the sense roms), i do a lot of writing to the internal memory.

usually flash memory got about 200.000 write cycles - beeing increased by intelligent hardware which balances writing between all blocks.

does anyone have actual experience when you start gaining bad blocks? i mean, if i continue testing roms this way, i might one day end up with a defective internal storage...
[Desire General] mercianary:
Isn't /data on the same memory chip as /system?

Because if it is I doubt it would make much difference how many roms you flash as data is constantly being written to /data in normal use.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
dont worry about it, the old nand chips htc used to use could take a battering, so im sure the new ones can, i bought a htc touch dual (htc nike) about 7 or 8 years ago and i flashed it contstantly for atleast 5 of them, my mum uses it now and its still going strong :D
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
thats right in one way, but wrong in another. android uses YAFFS2 (yet another flash file system) which is specially developed for flash systems.

one advantage is, it doesnt flush each write access directly to the flash chip. another is, it cares to use all blocks equally. so some hours running android might only write a few blocks to data.

on the other hand, flashing a system (or using the recovery restore function) writes a lot of blocks each time.

that acutally sounds great^^ still wonder, why some people have bad blocks. production failure? or did this appear while using?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
devices can come shipped with bad blocks on the nand chip thats how common they are, also htc take this into account when developing the partition table, especially in the boot sector because too many bad blocks might mean not enough space for the boot .img, then your screwed lol also A Bad Block does not affect the performance of valid blocks because it is isolated from the bit line by a select transistor. :)
[Desire General] mad-murdock:
i see - if bad blocks are shipped, no need to worry. only if you get a "new" bad block, total failure isnt far from my experience with flash chips. thanks for your info^^

I've heard the only option is to re flash it but I don't know how to reflash or downgrade it to 2.1

Please let us know. My basement got changed to jp1 after Odin3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Most problem is old settings from 2.1.

The easiest way is to do a factory reset. Wipe the catch and format the internal sdcard.

If that works you can put back your app. Don't restor any old settings.

The other way is to make sure the phone is clean and flash latest firmware with odin.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oghma1987:
I want to connect my HTC desire to a wireless hotspot provided by my wireless network adapter (intel pro wireless 3945 ABG) on my notebook. I googled for some program which can provide this for me and found Connectify, small program not very hard to use. I install it on OS Windows 7 32-bit, followed all instructions and everything went fine. When I try to search for a hotspot (named it Connectify-me) Desire actually cant see it. Also tried to connect Nokia 5800 to the same hotspot and everything went fine.

Next day I tried to make hotspot with the same program but on the other WNA (my girlfriends notebook) and actually i made a connection without problems.

My assumption is that there is some incompatibility with my WNA and Desire. Also i need to mention that on the site of the program Connectify stands that my WNA is not fully supported which means it cant act as Access Point just as a HotSpot which is not the problem for me cause im using separate internet connection over LAN.

If anyone had the same problem or know the solution, plz help.

Also it would be helpfull to tell me some other way or program that can do the same job as the above mentioned one.

Is there anyway htc desire can connect to intel pro wireless 945 ABG?

P.S. Latest version of drivers is downloaded and installed from Intel site
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kumprise:
I'm not an expert, but I've had a similar problem with wifi and solved it using little zip file called wpa_adhoc-signed.zip, search for it on Google. Your phone need to be rooted to flash this from recovery. Also, android doesn't like WEP, use WPA or WPA-2 (at least, that's what used to be my problem).

[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
I hacked on redbend_ua to make it a better phone hacking tool

first thing that has to go was the rebooting after any command

and the second thing was the stupid installing software splash screens

the first mod will probably segfault if used to batch install delta files

as I suspect there is some more code to update the progress bar on

the now NOP'ed installing software splash screen.

the second mod has batch mode NOP'ed so it wont do anything unless

you pass the dump,restore or compare commands which is fine for scripting

zImage and modem.bin installs.
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
sorry if this is dead info but how is this a tool? i need as many tools as possible. and i do not understand is there a place for specific knowledge on this that may go into a bit more detail?
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
redbend_ua is used for installing OTA updates, but it also has other functions.

normally when you run a command it will take over the screen with a "Installing Software"

splash, and then reboot. you can get around the reboot by unlinking reboot but that is kinda

a kludge and the splash usually just scrambles the screen.

the mod does away with the splash and the reboot making redbend_ua less annoying to use.

you could even probably install kernels and modems without rebooting into recovery, though

you will have to reboot to use the new code.

for example if you want to install a kernel the command might look something like this

/data/local/redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml7
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
So I'm bumping this because tbh I was a little surprised to see it die out. I was expecting more to come out of it. I imagine you could potentially create an app to flash kernels and modems and then you just reboot for it to take effect. Might be worth looking into...

Edit: I'm going to look into it. I feel this would be extremely convenient for multiple reasons.

Hi guys

I'm a South African who likes to participate in mapping with my dad, as well as geocaching from time to time.

My dad is a contributor to an organisation called Tracks 4 Africa (T4A), whom Google has agreements with. Basically, the organisation is made up of 4x4 overland enthusiasts, who contribute GPS data from the roads that they travel on in order to provide up to date map data for the overlanding community, as well as Google. There is a T4A layer on Google Earth.

My dad has also recently taken interest in purchasing an Android device for use in his travels, and I'm interested in hooking the GPS up to my netbook, and using either Ozi Explorer or Google Earth as my mapping program.

Is there anyway that I can get Windows, or possibly Ubuntu to see and make use of the GPS on my Android phone? I currently have a G1 that I purchased over in the USA, but I'm looking to get the Desire HD :) My dad will probably end up with a slightly lower end device, but not sure on that yet. (Android device availability and selection here in SA is still small :/)

Thanks a lot!!!

I do not think you can get the radio to scroll it the texts it depends on the protocol of the radio and when it was made and how much added widgets are resident. But, you definitely could get them read to you over the radio via this type of app:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaczman:
Hi all,

I sold my Nexus One on ebay as being "unlocked" and working with both AT&T and T-Mobile. it worked fine for 3G on my T-Mobile account, but the buyer said when he put his AT&T sim card in it though it only worked on the edge network. He pulled off the battery and checked the FCC id number and it is nm8PB99100, which matches the ID number on the box. This means it's the T-Mobile 3G version and not the AT&T version, the AT&T version would be 99110.

He said the 3G AT&T version is the 850/1900 model, which mine was not.
