I have noticed my internet keeps shutting down and not working until I change settings or reset to default... its p1ssing me off... I know its not my sim card... this never happened to me before... it just starting in october.... I'm using froyo sense with vbn rom..2.14.50... someone please help... network also shuts down on different builds... phone calls and texts work its just internet
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kush Smoke:
I also noticed that sometimes the internet works but my signal bars are gone and it just shows (H....) or (3G....)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
You are probably using a PPP build, try using one which has RMNET. (I believe Hyperdroid is RMNET, but it's not Sense).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kush Smoke:
I see... is there any sense builds that are not PPP?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I'm not a fan of Sense so I'm not really sure. Maybe HyperdroidSense is, but it's not the most actively maintained build. Just check through all the build threads, it should be mentioned (though some don't..).
[myTouch 4G Accessories] igni1ed:
not only am I stupidly new to the android scene, this phones accessories are medieval at best. The screen protector they offer for this phone is basically a piece of plastic that doesn't cover the entire front end of the phone and instead barely covers the screen part... major fail (hopefully someone will post a link to an aftermarket one that does a better job covering the entire front end all the way up to the speaker). Furthermore, the default screenprotector you can buy is still glared up and smugable. If you get the G2 anti smuge/glare screen protector it actually fits and does a better job but still doesn't cover the entire front of the phone as I'd like.

the rubber band / gel case makes me squirm. I had an ottercase for my iphone and felt goooood about it. I really want someone to make a case that protects this phone and the camera on the back, at least with a screen protector for the cam as well because its huge and easily scratchable.

anyhow..

some one make us some good accessories PRONTO!
[myTouch 4G Accessories] agentaaron:
As far a screen protectors go...I have always used Phantomskinz.com Their products always have perfect fitment and last a long time. From what I understand, they should have some for our device sometime next week. You have to have some level of comfort to apply them though...like ghost armor, BSE and all the rest, you have to use water or a soapy solution to apply it.

As for cases...I have been keeping an eye on ebay. Like yourself...I think the floppy silicon cases are complete rubbish. I have used the "TPU" cases on several of my devices and have had nothing but great things to say about them. They offer some impact resistance and do not add to the bulk of the device hardly at all...plus they are usually about $5.00 shipped :)
[myTouch 4G Accessories] BrooklynAvi:
I will only speak for the screen and say that a screen protector simply isn't needed. Every time someone asks me what screen protector I use on my Nexus I take out my keys, scratch the screen and tell them that I don't use any. Same goes for the MT4G. I've heard that it has Gorilla glass but it the screen is at least as good as the N1. For the record, I scratched it with my keys and it looks as good as it did out of the box. As far as the body goes, that's all you. I prefer my phones in their birthday suits if possible. :D
[myTouch 4G Accessories] ESKIMOn00b:
AFAIK no gorilla glass (pyrex) on the MT4G

i had protector on my g1, but my N1 was naked (sept for the cute little condom for it that came in the box). never had any issues... the screen (well protective screen cover) on both is pretty robust... the MT4G even has dimpling on it to prevent glare (examine carefully in the sun if you dont believe me)

the smudges on this phone have been making me squirm though...
[myTouch 4G Accessories] surfnhawaii808:
My screen protector on my mytouch 4g covers the entire width and length of my phone... ffc is cut out tho..

You refer to the iPhone , as a previous iPhone 4 owner, i honestly feel the mt4g BLOWS THE IPHONE 4 COMPLETELY AWAY IN EVERY AREA AND ASPECT.....

You the First Person to MAN UP and admit it, other iphoner's like yeah bidadad but app market bededuddd. They honestly have nothing to say
[myTouch 4G Accessories] kgbkny:
@igni1ed:

Get yourself some Realook screen protectors and you'll be set. They are available on Amazon at $11 for a pack of 2. I used them on my Vibrant and just ordered a set for the MT4G. If you apply them correctly (i.e., without air bubbles or dust particles underneath), you won't even be able to tell that there's a screen protector on your phone.
[EVO 4G General] chicubs:
Rooted my stock Evo finally and wanted to get wireless tether up and running...But I am feeling to do so.

It sees the network (Android Tether) but it refuses to connect.

According to ThinkVantage Access Connections it applies the wireless settings, renews the IP address, but does configured the IP address.

Have not had success with PDA Net either whenever I try to install the PC client it says that it fails to install the Plug n Play driver and fails to install the PDAnet broadband driver.

Rather aggravating.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.

What im trying to do is add icons to a theme im making , ive added some which i had to rename in order for them to replace some of thr default icons for apps when activating the theme. But i would like to replace some other default icons but i need to find out what to rename my custom icons too in order to replace the remaining default app icons when i activate the theme (adw launcher)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I had the same issue with my modded theme ADW theme, you need to pull the apps such as "Conversations.apk" which is basically MMS.apk on 1.6 and either change the icon in the apk itself or rename the icons in the theme to what they are now called in 2.1, and the only way you'll find that out is by pulling the apks and opening them.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AngelDevoid:
Ferk.... alot of digging around , after ive found as many as i can that work ill post a list of what to rename your icons to in your theme to replace the default icons. If you or anyone else already knows some can ya post it to help out thanks

Looking for stuff like this .....

Shortcut icon to the camera is named ....

Com_camera_cameraactivity

(or something like that)

So i would need to rename my icon from icon.png to com_camera_cameraactivity.png , then place it in the theme apk using eclipse , under a folder named /res/drawables_hdpi/ .

After that i would install the theme and the camera icon will have changed to the icon i want.

So thats the info we require ; the correct icon renames for as many apps as posible .

Hi!

I have an HTC Diamond and I'm trying to install Android, but I have some trouble :(

I read some guides but I'm not able to boot it!

I downloaded an archive with many files: zImage, system.sqsh, rootfs.img, initrd.gz, haret and so on... all of theese were in one zip archive.

I decompressed this archive in the "internal storage" (4GB), modified the "startup.txt" for my device etc...

Now, when I launch "haret.exe", the device start to boot Android until it returns an error: it can't mount sd card!

Why device crashes? how can I fix this?

I hope that it's understandable xD I know that my english isn't so good!

Many thanks to those who respond! :)

ps: I hope that this is the right sub-forum, if not I pray mods to move in the correct forum :)
[Legend General] Sebastian768:
Hi all,

in the past couple of days I have experienced extreme battery drain on my HTC Legend. It's got stock rom and nothing else modified except ADW

- It can lose most of it's battery in a couple of hours

- Yesterday I pulled it out of my pocket and it was SCORCHING hot

- Today it was drained in same way and I checked the battery >settings>About Phone>Battery>Battery Usage and it showd Display to 97% even though the screen had been off for most of the time.

This hasn't happened before and started sometime after the recent issues with Market. Don't think this has anything to do with it, but perhaps one of the apps instaled/updated around this time?

* The network usage is not showing any abnormal traffic

* Perhaps it's the SwitchPro Widget casing problems?

* ADW?

Switch off your phone and remove d battery and keep it out till some time may be 5 mins will be ok.. and put battery again in and start your phone.. and don't overcharge your phone ever.... kill all d applications with advanced task killer...
[Legend General] tobbeson:
If you haven´t rooted your phone you should go to the store where you got the phone this sounds like a factory malfunction
[Legend General] g0dshead:
Your phone draining in 2 hours is possible , mainly by keeping every app active while having wife/gps and bt on. But this still should not result in a scorching hot casing , hotter then normal maybe ,but not scorching.

Might wanna do as he said and go after the warranty ( hope you got a backup phone) it tends to take a while before you get it back if ever and not recieve a new one.

Good luck!
[Legend General] Sebastian768:
It's done it again. Before I can turn it in, I figure I can just do a factory reset and start from scratch. That's what they are going to do anyways.

Here in Norway, we are by law getting 5 year warranty on our phones and it's the shops responsibility to find the EXACT cause of the malfunction. If they can't, you get a new phone (just a new ruling http://www.vg.no/dinepenger/artikkel.php?artid=10042336 where an iPhone owner got a new phone because the shop couldn't prove it's not the owners direct fault). If I turn it in, they are also by law required to supply me with a phone with equal functionality within 7 days. Ie. a smartphone for a smartphone. I'm also covered by Idiot-insurance (I'm an idiot, I drop my phone in toilets, lakes, from a car window...etc.) so I'm covered no matter what.

BUT I don't want there to be any thing wrong with the Legend. Is there any app which can show me which apps are "open" or consuming power?
[Legend General] Sebastian768:
It's also turned off and rebooted by itself without any user input.
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Battery Monitor for info, Battery Details to prevent overcharging.
[Legend General] im_iceman:
Sounds like a dodgy app that you installed around the time the problems started.. If you can remember what you installed I'd start there, otherwise.. Go for the factory reset..
[Legend General] jennan88:
That's awesome. In Australia, the carrier isn't obligated to provide you with a warranty that's the length of your contract. So for example a few years ago I was paying a handset contract for a phone that was already dead.

They also aren't obligated to provide you with a phone when yours is getting repaired, and to get your handset replaced it needs to be sent away for repairs three-to-six times before they'll admit it's faulty. Most people just end up "upgrading" their contracts to a more expensive one to get a new handset rather than spend six months with a semi-broken phone.

Anyway, did the factory reset work?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorr932:
Hello everyone,

i've got a European Samsung Galaxy S with this 2.1 firmware and it's working with no problems:

PDA I9000XWJM2

PHONE I9000XXJM1

CSC I9000NEEJM1

i tried to update my phone to Android 2.2 via Kies but my phone just doesn't get recognized by the computer in Kies Mode or MTP mode, i have the latest version of Kies 1.5.3

and i even tried to download many drivers packages or manually extract the drivers from Kies and manually install it via device manager.. also all of this doesn't work!

i noticed something weird with my phone when it connects to Kies and the computer is trying to install drivers, the blue screen of the USB cable on the phone keeps disappearing and reappearing repeatedly and i hear a sound of plugging and unplugging from the computer.. it keeps doing so in MTP mode and kies mode, but not in USB mass storage mode as it works normal..

i thought even if i could get the driver to work my phone maybe has an issue with it's original firmware or something..

note that i haven't modded this firmware or rooted it before, this is what came with the phone..

another thing i've tried to enable the 3 button fix the download mode.. but it needs a rooted phone, so again tried to root with the SuperOneClick it works with some command lines appear but it just keeps looping through them and connect and disconnect forever..

i even want to make the lag fix but i can't too..

i'm very frustrated and i'm thinking to sell the phone as i can't do anything with it i can't upgrade it or even fix the lag, the phone is working but doesn't like to be connected to the computer!

...

i would be thankful for your advices

is my phone has a fixable issue or it's useless..

Few things you could try...for USB disconnects!

1. Uninstall previous Drivers and Reinstall with new Samsung Drivers

2. Go to Device Manager in Windows (presuming you are using Windows)

Uninstall all The USB Root HUB's and everything else under the tab if you can, dont worry Windows will install again on startup

Once all is uninstalled ..Reboot!

3. Try a different cable :)

Hope some of this helps

I just thought about the thing that there's no good video player for android, that decently plays .mkv files in 720p, even on the Desire HD.

But what about Archos? They have also Android as OS, and use a 1 GHz Processor ( ARM8 I think) in their newer devices.

But even the Archos 5 IT could playback 720p with its 800 MHz CPU. May it be possible to implement the ARCHOS media player on other Android devices?

Or is it coded too specifically, using the graphics accelerator so only the Archos can work with that app?

Would love to here ur oppinion about this :)

Sorry if this question is too dumb, :)
[Android Apps and Games] justin0679@gmail.com:
Hi Dr lele

I recently started work on my DHD and found a program called arkMedia. You can download it from your app store for free. It works very well for me right accross my varied media including avi, flv, mp4 etc...

I believe this is the tcpmp equivalent for android.

I hope it works for you as well as it is working for me.

Kind regards,

[Android Apps and Games] ndavidetnt:
maybe arcmedia?
[Android Apps and Games] Dr. lele:
Thank You I'll try it :)

But I'll also try to get the app from the archos to the DHD maybe the video player works. That would be pure awesomeness :)
[Android Apps and Games] ghost77:
No software player will help you overcome what hardware can't do , 800 MHz to 1000 MHz is not the issue here. Alot of things make a CPU package for phones, CPU is just a general purpose hardware not fast enough for 3D games or 720p+ video decoding.. . There are several software players out there with their own codecs that will use your cpu in software mode , you will be able to play avi,divx,xvid if your phone can't already do so, but to playback 720p you need alot more horsepower or

specialized hardware

. Your Desire HD has Snapdragon CPU

Archos 5 does have slower general purpose CPU less MegaHertz but ! that CPU happens to be Cortex-A8 it is more geared for media has "NEON™technology for multi-media and SIMD processing".

Same CPU but slightly faster is in my AT&T Captivate and or any other Samsung Galaxy S phone.

I can playback 720p video no problem high bitrate H264,x264 ect. Amongs many video containers it can also playback MKVs and with some help from players like "mVideoPlayer" it can even render internal and external subtitles.

You can only blame marketing and low education of general population , where everyone thinks all CPUs are equal and only MegaHertz that matters :rolleyes:

Hope that was educational for you , in case it was not short answer , Player from Archos 5 will not help you play 720p video. It is not the player that does the hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] Dr. lele:
Ah thx... thats sad news, but i feel a little bit smarter now and somehow I expected that there's a reason for the DHD's original Media Player not to playback mkv containers ;)

So with a Samsung Galaxy phones i could playback more media files... thats really interesting because I looked for an Android Phone which combines the powers of the Archos PMPs and an Android Phone ;)
