Hi all

I want to buy a Desire Z

It has a Hard Keyboard in English, but I'm using Hebrew

I was wondering if I can have both Hard Keyboard and Soft Keyboard at the same time ?

Wrong forum.

But you want to have both hard kb and soft kb inputting at the same time? :confused:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
you can use h/w keyboard and s/w keyboards on the desire z, but not both at the same time lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruno1211:
This isn't dev. forum!

You can have both Hard and Soft keyboard but not at the same time...

On Motorola Milestone you can type on Soft keyboard, but when you pull out Hard keyboard, Soft keyboard "disappears"...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAelyn:
Hello all,

This might be a very newbie and stupid question, but please help me!

I have bought a Samsung Galaxy S from Vodafone Romania just a few days ago with a 1 GB data plan. Every thing worked perfectly (traffic was low and fast, some 30MB of download + upload in the last days) but this morning.... surprise 1.7 GB of traffic downloaded overnight (checked my My Vodafone online account and there it was: some 900 MB at around 2 am and another hundreds MB at 5 am). I was sleeping, the telephone was beside me at all time, no one else in the house etc.

Here is a list of apps which were installed on the device:

Best Matrix Live Wallpaper by yu xin

Angry birds

BATstat battery widget by martin eder

google goggles

magic tg tracker by shalafi

Moxier world

weather bug

es file explorer

notification notes by blee tech

vr tunnel lite live

ghost commander

data counter widget

mtg pedia

earth live wallpaper + map packs

star wars live wallpaper

barcode scanenr

yahoo messenger

star wars light saber

remote rdp lite

kindle

android manager wifi

Has anyone encountered this situation before? Can any of these apps cause such traffic?

I have wifi at home, the wifi on the device is enabled when I am at home (and so it was the night before). All I did was download Angry Birds and just played a few levels for fun and then went to sleep.

Could some have used the Wireless AP option, could someone tether to the device without my permission, wirelessly?

Maybe the bluetooth was on; could some have used it without a pin or without me accepting the connection?

I have talked to vodafone support and they say they will know only 4 days after the beginning of the monthly plan (which is on the 2nd, making this possible only on the 6th). Could they check then, the ip:port that my device was connecting to? Maybe in this way I could identify the application.

Please HELP!

Best regards,

T.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
I note you have Data Counter Widget installed.

Have you checked the downloaded amount showing in that App against what your online Vodaphone account is saying?

If there is a discrepancy you will at least know the data has not come from your phone but an outside source.

Looking at your Apps I can't see anything that would generate that kind of figure.

Have you checked to see if there was a Vodaphone update?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAelyn:
- The data from VDF seems very similar to the one reported by the traffic counter;

- Having restarted the phone, I don't think that this was an update: I remember checking the about phone screen before restarting it and there was the old info.

Still... 1.7 GB update?

Thanks for the quick respone,

T.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Well, apart from update files or other items from Voda I can't see anything that should generate such a high volume of traffic... It doesn't make sense!

You may want to ask Voda if they have issued any large files or can explain the traffic.

Other than that you have the time it happened, you could try going through a file explorer (Astro is my choice) and checking the date/time/size stamp to see if anything correlates.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exadeci:
The only apps that could use data are yahoo messenger and remote rdp lite but so much in a night .... Have you installed an app the day before the huge download ?? Or used one that you don't use a lot ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAelyn:
On Saturday I only installed ES file explorer and angry birds.

I have talked this morning to Vodafone support and they have listed a request to their technical team with a 72 hours deadline. So I'll call them again on Wednesday and see what's going on.

The guy from Vodafone told me that it is really strange as others who have complained about a similar problem had their traffic spanned over a whole month (and that was pretty obvious...) but in my case everything was downloaded in 2 bursts.

I'll just have to wait and see what happens...

cause you are form Romania , big hi for you and all Romanians .i think the problem if u have Froyo.

is in Froyo it self .it is really not a problem . put in Froyo there is option that save your data(application data) automatically and when ever u reinstall an application all the data and sittings will be restored .and u can guess how much data is there .

u can disable this feature by going to sitting and then go to privacy and u can disable backing data .
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAelyn:
Thanks for the idea, but the problem is I don't have Froyo (yet! ;) ). But I'll be careful once I update my device to Froyo.

Note.. what the poster is forgetting is this is direct downloaded material which is seen on the Vodaphone Online server not just on the Phone.

Publicly contactable IP address?

Hi there,

If you aren't using a proxy server via your cellular provider(IE a WAP apn setup with proxy), you have probably received a public IP address on your phone.

What could have happened is that someone somewhere(or a server) has been shunting data at your public IP address over night which would explain the data usage. The data doesn't need to be initiated by any program on your phone, only that you are contactable on the Internet.

I personally use a program called Droid Wall(Firewall for Android) which drops unrequested packets of data from the public Internet side. It also allows you to specifiy which installed programs on your phone may or may not use your cellular connection, or your Wifi connection.

I generally use Droid wall to refuse internet 3G and Wireless access to programs which I know shouldn't require it, such as games :)

If you aren't using your providers Wap Proxy server and you are still getting this significant data usage, I would recommend changing over to it from the normal Internet APN you are currently using.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAelyn:
Hi,

Thanks for the info. While I wait for Vodafone to research my problem, I'll give the firewall a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styxgeist:
Sorry I should have mentioned that you also need to have root access as well for Droid wall :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAelyn:
Thanks! I found the app on the Market and the rooted part was clearly typed into the title ;). I'll give it a try later today.

[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:

I'm still able to get back into recovery mode and trying to reapply the lag fix results in the same

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o galaxy 23 o:
yes, i know exactly whats happening...i think

when you apply the voodoo, listen for linda saying she's going to apply extension for optimize 4, then step 1. this process takes about 5 minutes and it will sit on the white vibrant screen for what seems forever. just hang tight and it'll reboot

however, since you stopped the process in the middle, you might need to ODIN to stock. but try reapplying the voodoo lagfix. i hope it works for
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
this is all in the voodoo thread. Its been happening to people since day one with voodoo. I got voodoo to work once, and it was nice, but I like the convenience of z4mod. Same deal, but instead of being activated when you install the kernel it modifies your kernel so it supports ext 2 3 or 4 then allows you to change file systems by flashing a zip. And the fact that z4mod can change dbdata and cache as well is nice too.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Why do you need fast boot? All you need is ADB. If you don't have it installed/don't know now to use it - you shouldn't be messing with Android phone at all.

Here is the info on now to skip registration or register with no SIM card. It's written for RC30 but should be very similar for later ROMS.

Good luck

I have an issue with my DHD touch screen, and before i return it, I thought I'd see if anyone else has the same issue.

When dragging horizontaly, the image speeds up the slows down. It's hard to explain so i've posted a video. Up/down scrolling is fine.

Notice what happens when I draw a diagonal in a paint program. Am I the only one with this issue?

[Desire HD General] sanju007:
I think that is normal
[Desire HD General] chaps:
Hardly! No other HTC device I've had exhibits this behaviour. It's damn annoying when slow scrolling a web page.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
Sent it to HTC!!!
[Desire HD General] ErMeglio:
seems there are bad notices every day I get convinced to go and buy with no regrets:(

Please let us know what they say about this strange behavior...
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
Could it be the dirt in the screen ? 0_o have you tried it with it cleaned or with a pen ?
[Desire HD General] Doktaphex:
Unfortunately it seems as though this is just the way that the touch sensor works, mine does the same thing. Maybe a better driver for the touch sensor will improve the way it behaves.

Check this article for comparisons.

[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
That's the way the touch works on the DHD. All of them do that.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
my legend did this to, but i think in the case of the DHD is that the effect would be amplified somewhat because its moving more cause the screen is larger with the same amount of pixels hence the scroll distance in pixels is the same only its moving over a greater area making it more obvious than on smaller screen phones

but for the most part most capacitive screens have this.
[Desire HD General] pandaking:
Nice link thanks.
[Desire HD General] chaps:
If this is meant to be normal behaviour, then it's very dissapointing. This is my second phone with a capacitive screen, the other being a HTC HD2.

The HD2 doesn't do this, either in winmo 6.5 or Android.
[Desire HD General] mordetus:
Damn, what a setback :mad:

I was so going to buy DHD but this makes me reconsider.

Maybe I should wait until 8th November when samsung relases a new android device :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] ramadanatt:
mine has the same problem :(
[Desire HD General] NZtechfreak:
The side-to-side scrolling looks like its related to the elastic recoil effect on homescreen scrolling - try in something with the elastic effect, is it the same?
[Desire HD General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
i dont think they will release a new device. they will probably just annouce one for the upcoming 1 month or 2 " much like HTC does"

the only company that annouce something and release it the next week or so is apple. and i dont see samsung doing this.
[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
id hardly say apple does a good job at this when iphone 4 came out some store only had 1 or 2 units sure they can say its available but personally id say its misleading when there are people lining up for them
[Desire HD General] chaps:
It's these same in the web browser.
[Desire HD General] Dr.Sid:
I'm trying this on HD2 with DHD rom .. it seems it does not do it .. is there some drawing app ? Drawing diagonal lines usually shows this problem.
[Desire HD General] chaps:
Try 'finger paint', free in the market.

I emailed HTC and got a garbled broken English reply, telling me to return my phone to the retailer for an exchange. If all DHDs are the same, there's no point. But if some are worse than others, I may consider it.
[Desire HD General] Dr.Sid:
Can you do the test in finger paint ? On HD2 it looks quite good .. if you saw the video with the robot linker earlier, I'd say HD2 is best except iPhone. I'd say it is not in the kinetic scroll.
[Desire HD General] tursoke:
Wow, I was really looking forward to having a DHD. I'm disappointed in HTC if they have used such an sucky capacitive panel on the screen. I would love to see more responses from DHD owners to confirm that this is a 'feature', not a fault.
[Desire HD General] mazzuli:
I tested on mine and my result was significantly smoother/straighter. I would approximate that my line is around two times smoother. I am very satisfied to the screen.
[Desire HD General] mordetus:
Could you please post a video :)
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
i blame the fingerprints :|
[Desire HD General] Doktaphex:
I blame the consumers and our greed for constant technological advances.

In reality, the screen only exhibits this behaviour when scrolling very sloooowwwllyyyy...... If you draw the same line in fingerpaint or whatever at a faster speed guess what? You get a perfectly straight line.

This symptom has been affecting and will continue to affect touch panels for some time now, probably other phones that you've owned exhibited this behaviour but you never knew about it, because it wasn't brought to your attention. If it bothers you so much, there are many other phones out there, no one is forcing you to buy this one, but remember this, any other phone will most likely exhibit similar behaviour. It may be better or worse, but hey, the grass is always greener right!?

I for one will continue to be happy with the best multimedia device/phone that I have ever had.

Just my two peneth for anyone who gives a damn.
[Desire HD General] tursoke:
Aye, I must confess I overreacted, since it's a common problem on every capacitive screen, and doesn't actually have any impact on the usage of the device. I'm just waiting for the device to show on the sell lists of my current operator...
[Desire HD General] mazzuli:
Sorry, but the only camera I own is the DHD. However I can post a screenshot of the diagonal line that I drew in finger paint like the person on the video did, if somebody tells me a name of an app that lets me take screenshots.
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
Isn't it possible to save it as a jpg file? There must be a drawing app that can do that.

Remove the spaces from the above link. No problem exists imo.

That doesn´t look too good either :(

It looks like the touchpanel used in DHD is pretty crappy compared to other high end smartphones :( About same level with Droid, but much worse than iphone or Desire.
[Desire HD General] Lonarika:
Which app do you/they use for the test ? im unable to find a good app :E
[Desire HD General] mazzuli:
I don't know how bad it can be if I can hit single Likes and person's names in facebook when zoomed out as far as is possible. In my opinion, it is wonderful.

E: Lonarika, I used an app called 'Painting'.
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
Can you try with a rubber pen ? Like the ones found in the 5800 express music ? or a latex glove
[Desire HD General] mazzuli:
Won't work because it's a capacitive touch screen. Atleast it shouldn't work..
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
There are those rubber styluses that work with capacitive screens. HTC makes one, too.

[Desire HD General] chaps:
I understand all the arguements about my panel problems being normal and not a problem at all. But for me, the inaccuracy of the touch screen is too much.

I have arranged an exchange from T-Mobile next week. If the replacement phone is the same, then i'll just have to learn to live with it :-(

The problem for me is that my last device was a HD2, which has the same size screen as the DHD but was much more accurate. So I'm used to having a 4.3" device and the DHD was a step backwards in touch screen quality.

Now don't get me wrong, and don't flame me for being an over demanding consumer. I love the DHD. Aside from the panel quality, it's a worthy replacement for my HD2.
[Desire HD General] .VIBE:
keep us updated, it'll be interesting to know whether a new phone will make a difference.
[Desire HD General] chaps:
Well, T-mo UK kindly swapped my DHD this morning. Alas, the new one is more or less the same.

Even my daughters cheap tmo Pulse is loads more accurate than my expensive Desire HD. I'm sure HTC could fix this with a software patch.
[Desire HD General] siaosi:
Ok, might be irrelevant but I have downloaded a paint app and tried it.

When I draw the diagonal line slowly, it comes up like that, zig-zagged. But when I did it fast, it was a perfect straight line.

Same with the right-left scrolling. When you do it fast it is smooth, when you do it slowly it doesn't work very well.

Hope it helps
[Desire HD General] LordManhattan:
OK, i've done some "fingering" of my own, and here's the result!

I've used Draw(ed) from the Marked on my two day old DHD.

SLOW EDGE-TO-EDGE DRAWING:

We're seeing som waves here.

FAST EDGE-TO-EDGE DRAWING:

Not that bad.

Here, both fast and slow gave me the same results:

No problems here what so ever! Btw, it's really hard to draw straight lines, so the curves are my fault - not the phone :p

So, it seems the problem is the "slow corner-to-corner". I ain't bad! And it doesn't bother me at all.
[Desire HD General] letom:
I can actually see the little sensors on my phone sometimes and the way they're arranged I'm not surprised doing diagonals goes up in stairs.
[Desire HD General] siaosi:
Ok, so it wasn't only my idea, it's the same for you too!

I can also live with that!
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
seriously people...i dont know what to say I don't think there is one gadget that has the perfection you seem to demand in this forum

my suggestion drop your DHD in the bin because its four point multi touch performance slows a bit down in one corner...

its a device that you will most likely throw away or exchange in year or two, mind you its of one of the most powerpacked devices around (for now) just enjoy it before its short life runs out
[Desire HD General] siaosi:
True up to a point. But think that when someone has paid "top dollar" for something, they want it perfect. Also, quite a few people agreed with the op: I for one am glad that it's not just my idea and others have noticed it too.

Now I don't care about the straight line frankly, I would use my pc to draw sthng if needed. But one thing that annoys me and is important on a phone is the low volume of the speaker for example. For a device that is on the top of the range I find it disgusting that the much cheaper and worse models have far better/louder speakers. So yeah, you may change it in two years, but you want to get everything you can for what you paid.

Rant over!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hankinsmalone:
Odin 1.3

Yeah I've done the same thing before. When you downgrade from 2.2 you must flash a 2.1 kernal first. Best thing to do is re-flash back to stock with Odin. Make sure you use Odin version 1.3 and not version 1. Search the dev forum for how to flash with Odin.
