[G2 and Desire Z General] sundar2012:
Is there a way I can toggle between Edge and 3g on the g2 without going into settings? I cant figure it out using tasker and i'm not sure how to use APN droid to do it.

Basically, I want to switch to 2g when I'm at work just to save battery - i dont want mobile data off, i just want it to use the 2g radio instead of 3g.

Ideas? Is this even possible on stock froyo? I know CM can do it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Vandam500:
SwitchPro has a 3G/2G toggle. Available on the Market.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rp1783:
This is in the wrong section.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nolsen311:
I used better cut to create a shortcut on the desktop. It works for now, like you I'm waiting for CM to fix most of the stuff that bugs me...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ellises:
I've been using the "Data On Demand" application on my g2 which turns off your data when your screen is sleeping and then back on when you turn on your screen. It's saved me a lot of battery so far, but as you said you want data to remain on, there should be other applications out there but this is an option.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Cheeze[iT]:
i wonder since they can turn off data when the screen is off and on when the screen is on if they can do 3g when the screen is on and edge when the screen is off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] trazipomoc:
Great idea
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Go to the market and install extended controls. Make a widget on the home screen and add the 3g/edge toggle button.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hawaiian.monzta:
Yea extended controls is the best one. Had switch pro, isn't a great as extended control
[G2 and Desire Z General] HavocXT:
Quick, tip, toggling from 3g/edge could burn out the sim card and cause connection problems to the network, or at least that's what the tmob tech said to me. I had trouble with my g2 switch from hspa to edge to cutting off completly, so I called the tmob tech. It turned out I had an older sim card (from the g1, had 3g/2g toggle) and said that that was causing the problem and that eventually it would burn out from switching networks so many times. Don't know if this is true or not but just giving yall a piece of warning. Anyways, I registered a new sim card that came with my g2 and now i get constant hspa and everything is hunky dory :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] swags:
Burning out the sim from switching between 3g and edge makes absolutely no sense to me. At worst, switching from between 3g and edge should be no worse than going in and out of service which, as T-Mobile a customer, happens all the time if you ever go inside. ;) It also seems odd that a supported and encouraged battery saving feature could reduce the practical lifespan of the product. I say chalk this one up to the usual T-Mobile tech BS.

I believe the line you are looking for is:

if it says ext4 then you have voodoo installed. If it says ext2, then you have the OCLF installed. If it says rfs, then you are on the stock RFS file system.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

If mount states that your /data is RFS you are not running any of the lag fixes.

If OCLF states it is already enabled, try removing the OCLF app and re-installing.

Dude, you are not using a lag fix... and it's NOT needed to with Bionix/Fusion.

it's normal to be in the 900-1000 range without a lag fix.

Why worry about it? Is your phone dramatically different? Are you Overclocking....

[Click Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
Hey guys,

Some of you may know me from my HCDR.ROM

I have decided it is time for me to give up development for the HTC Tattoo. A few months ago I began doing a bit of dev work for the HTC Wildfire and recently got together enough from donations to buy a HTC Wildfire and get rid of my Tattoo. I was going to continue development but I am working on CyanogenMod for Wildfire at the moment and it's taking up a lot of my time, which is why HCDR.ROM v2 never got to you guys.

My decision has been influenced by the recent release of Dexter_nib's ROM. He has successfully done what I didn't have time to do, and his work is looking very promising so I suggest you give it a go :)

As my final act of development for this phone, I'm in talks with iVendor and we're trying to get the camera going using the libcamera2 hack, which I will work on whenever I get time to do so.

Thank you all for your support while I was developing, this was a great community to get me started. If you get a Wildfire in the future or are generally interested in what I've been up to, head over to the Wildfire forums.

Sad to leave you guys but I don't have much of a choice.

Have a good day,

Jacob

[Click Android Development] Frayser:
Sad to say goodbye, Jacob! I've tested almost all the ROMs available and due to the camera problem on 2.0+ your HCDR seems to be the most stable one! I'm using it right now. Well, good luck, man! Thank you for everything you've done!
[Click Android Development] Mithun_srk05:
Awww! Dats such a sad thing... wil miss u a lot Jacob! Urs is da best 1.6 Rom in da forum... Dats da only 1.6 ROM I use. Currently using Dexter's ROM. It's very nice. Jacob, even I have decided to wait just for one more week, if the camera on da froyo won't work, I wil buy wildfire... the only thing Dar is stopping me is dat I have heard a lot abt the bad resolution of wildfire. How is it per it exp? How better is it than tattoo? Thanks so much for ur grt ROM!
[Click Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
I think it's a lot better than Tattoo, the screen is a lot better looking. It has more contrast and a higher brightness.
[Click Android Development] schwarzlichtkind:
Sorry to hear that... A lot of brain-drain in the Tattoo community....

I wish you the best!
[Click Android Development] rafaelegomezb:
Thank you very much. You have contributed to make our Tattoo experience much better. As many other users, I've been toying with 2.2's, and I agree that so far Dexter's is very good (despite it's 1 week age!), but having a trouble-free ROM plus having a working camera drags me back to 1.6, meaning "the one and only 1.6 Tattoo ROM: HCDR!!".

It's conforting knowing that you intend to support the development to put to work the camera on 2.2.

Again, thank you very much, and maybe I'll keep following you on the Wildfire forum!.

Good luck, buddy!

[Streak 5 Accessories] Guest69:
Sh!t, $50?! WTF is it made of? Don't mind splashing the cash for decent kit, but I think i'll pass on this, shame, I was looking forward to one of these. I'll stick with my o2 insurance instead.
[Streak 5 Accessories] yokuoh:
Yes it looks a bit dear. What I can't work out is that the pictures of both the defender and the commuter look almost exactly the same as the impact case. Puzzling. I was hoping for a triple layered hard case like the defender for the iphone. I notice that he jack socket has a rubber plug but that seems to be the only difference...

Anyone got a link to better pictures?

I must be missing something...
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
Three layer protection it says there ^
[Streak 5 Accessories] Guest69:
Three layers maybe, the commuter series also has 3 layers, i'll still stick with my 1 layer next-day-replacement insurance. I have otterbox for my gps + other kit for multi-day walks, it's perfect if a little bulky, but $50 for a non-waterproof case for my streak is too steep for me. I've had to get 1 replacement streak already and I don't think this case would have prevented the cracked lcd. Sorry otterbox, I love your stuff but this isn't worth the price to me. I would have paid $35. (free delivery of course! ;))

Hmm, just realised they're counting the screen protector as one of the 3 layers. My offer is down to $28!
[Streak 5 Accessories] yokuoh:
It may say three layers but if you look at the pics on the otterbox website the cases look almost identical to the impact case. Defender doesn't look anywhere near as good as the iphone 4 one but will reserve judgement until I see some better pictures.

If it's anywhere near a good as the iphone4 case it will be worth every penny because that case looks superb!

:)
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
I was hoping it would have removeable front screen/lid like the iPad version seems have. As it is I'm with everyone else, there's much better protection out there for less than $50.
[Streak 5 Accessories] jdmnash:
The defender case includes more features than just 3 layers. read on...

"Besides these features, it comes with ratcheting belt clip holster and natch in holster which connects to Dell GPS arm which in turn attaches to car windshield."

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...oductdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=19&sku=A4150936

I'll gladly pay 50 bux for a case that allows me to leave it on when using the car mount or belt clip.

I'm awaiting pictures of this mechanism in action. otherwise, its commuter for me.
[Streak 5 Accessories] p51d007:
Same here...photos of the belt clip, then I'm on board.

How many times have I reached for my streak on my belt in the last week LOL.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Dogmann:
Hi all

Well when i bought my Impact case for $19.95 it was the only one available from them and now that they have these others i would still choose the Impact case over them. I have found the Impact case to be great and does all i want or need and i haven't even bothered fitting the screen protector either as just don't feel the need for it.

Marc
[Streak 5 Accessories] p51d007:
I have the impact also, and also just tossed the screen protector. It's GLASS, which means unless you really try, a diamond is required to scratch it.

I don't think a screen protector would do it any good, if, you hit it hard enough to break the glass ;)

*** EDIT ***

Please click THIS link (then click the I need an answer button) to ask Microsoft to resolve this issue

*** EDIT ***

People love to say that we should all give Microsoft a break. WP7 is new, they are releasing improvements.

Yes, this may be true for silly things like copy-paste and multi-tasking. These will be coming in the future. woot.

The real issue are the features that will never be coming because Microsoft have decided we're all too stupid to ever have a need for them.

Allowing users to manage their own file system is a major one and has vast implications. I don't think Microsoft will ever open up the file system because they haven't designed it as a file system that is ever meant to be accessed by users.

We've all heard that this means you wont be able to get certain file types onto your phone throuigh any means other than email or download.

We all understand by now that we will never be able to use the phone as a portable storage device.

What most users don't understand though is this:

If you have ebooks/comics on your computer, you will most likely never be able to read them on your device.

Instead: you will have install an application that will make you re-purchase them from the internet. There are some ebook readers that will allow you to download free eboks from places like project Gutenberg, so we'll all have to either enjoy reading Black Beauty and anything else that was written before 1950, or we will have to re-purchase books we already own. The same will go for your cbz/cbr files.

Does this sound like a money making racket to you? It does to me!

You will never get a 3rd party application that can load external files (that aren't images) - Hoping for a hiking app that can load those GPX routes you have on your harddrive? - You're better off getting an android.

You will never be able to swap out memory cards. You will never be able to upgrade your phones storage (unless you format it and start again)

You will not have a computer in your pocket. You will have a powerful brick that has been severely cripled. Thankyou Microsoft

There is some hope. Microsoft could create a shared space/partition on the phone that allows users to manage the files within, and allows applications to access it. This could be done while still keeping the rest of the areas in the phone secure. As developers we need to petition Microsoft to allow the platform to become as powerful as we need it to be.

We don't want another Kin.

We want an ultra-portable computer that is simple and easy to use when it needs to be, but is also powerful and flexible at other times as well.

If you care about the future of this platform, please go to this forum and petition Microsoft to not forget about us power users and to build flexibility into the platform
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Why not just buy a device running an OS that gives you these things already? All the "power users" on WM didnt stop its failure, so I dont see MS caring too much about that demographic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] AceofSpades25:
:( Because my new work phone has to run WP7. No choice there. I am a software engineer and it is being seen as the business phone of the future.

Also, it is a joy developing for Microsoft platforms. Using managed code in visual studio envoronments is heaven. I don't think I could be bothered to write using the low level code needed for Android.

So I want to develop for WP7, but I also Microsoft to open it up and make it more powerful
[Windows Phone 7 General] crow26:
People keep going back and forth about things like copy&paste or multitasking but hardly anybody understands what really matters.

People just don't get what "file system access" means. They're either too lazy to think about it or not intelligent enough.

It's not about digging through folders. No "normal" user wants to do that. It's about ease of use, which is important to everyone.

The lack of file system access makes the user experience a nightmare. Not because you can't dig through folders, but because you cant just copy a file like an ebook to the phone and read it there. Instead, you will need complicated workarounds like emailing files to yourself.

Other things will even remain impossible.

FINALLY someone who understands what really matters.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blanket:
once u get file system root access, u can change alot of things

but since i'm not going to go there anymore (winmo is enough lol), i would just prefer ms lets us have a simple windows explorer that blocks out the system files.

i'm not interested in dissecting your DLLs just to take a look, i just want to get my files, whatever file it is, INTO THE PHONE!
