For what it's worth, I work at AT&T and I just did a bench test on the Atrix 4g, running stock Froyo. It fell 974 places below the #1 benched phone running Ginger, which was the Defy. And we all know that the Defy has the same specs of none other than....the Bravo. Hope this helps. :)

hi everyone!

how can i remove some unuseful icons from menu on x10 mini 2.1?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ehnvis:
You need to root your phone and uninstall the unwanted apps. Another way is to install a launcher that let you hide the icons.

You can uninstall unwanted apps using Titanium Backup. I you don't want to uninstall, you can use an alternative homescreen like Launcher Pro to hide unwanted crap from app drawer

For those of you who are Minecraft fans, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-9K8ZQTOMY is a video of a guy who got the engine running on his Galaxy S. He released the apk and directions yesterday. The apk is here and directions are here. To install, you install the apk but you also need to extract your .minecraft folder from your pc with the directory structure on your sd card /sdcard/.minecraft/saves/World1. Links to two of my saves, confirmed to work by a friend are here and here. Just extract the zip to your sdcard. The first one is my main save, which I recommend trying, but the second one is a fresh world that is much smaller in case the first one doesn't work. I believe those files are ok to share because they are only saves and this app is in no way currently a replacement for the full game. If anyone finds out differently, I'll gladly take the files down. It is easy enough to use your own files from your own minecraft installation on your PC. Now that he has created a google code project for minedroid solely, here's the new link: code.google.com/p/minedroid He has a new video of the brand new interface.

Btw, THIS IS NOT MY APP, I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR IT OTHER THAN UPLOADING MY SAVES FOR CONVENIENCE.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] foxmeister:
Hi,

I purchased an official Samsung "Travel" charger from my Tab. I expected to receive a mains adaptor with interchangeable plugs (e.g. Euro, GB, US etc), and another USB cable.

However, when I opened it up, I had a mains adaptor, a GB plug, and a USB cable.

According to all the packaging, this is correct - however, as far as I'm concerned this isn't a "Travel" charger - it's just a spare charger.

I'm ok with it as I've plenty of GB-to-EU and GB-to-UK adaptors, but I thought it worthwhile posting a warning that this isn't really what it is advertised to be.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] knightnz:
Pretty much all of the "compact" AC adaptors get referred to as "travel" chargers, it's nothing new, Nokia have been doing it for years, and theirs don't even have interchangeable plugs on them. Not that you can buy the plug part of them separately anyway so I'm not sure why they make them removable other than for their own benefit.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] geoffcollins:
It basically means that it will work across voltage differences without blowing up
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Rozenthal:
So far, the best thing I found is this:

4 port USB AC adapter

It has all standard electric adapters, is very compact, has 4 USB slots (so you can use it for other stuff too) and the price is great.

Also, I checked with the seller - it will charge the Tab normally, but in that case you can't use other USB slots. The charger gives 5V 2A, shared among the 4 ports. If you use just one slot, that one gets all the juice. If you plug in 2 devices, the power is split among them etc.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] foxmeister:
So does the standard charger, because it is identical! :)

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Beards:
Do you have a link Dave, I'm looking to purchase a USB Mains plug with a USB to 30 pin cable for the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] ramboky:
I was really disappointed by this too.

However, the section of the adapter with the UK pins should slide off (slide it up). Then you can plug a standard 2 pin AC cable into the adapter - like those which come with printers. The pins adapters are supposedly available to make these a true travel adapter but I have yet to find them anywhere.

[Android Apps and Games] A3G:
Hi, here an Android app to manage the shopping list: eMyShoppingList - Lista de la compra.

The app is in Android Market with the following features:

Multi-lingual: Spanish and English. No need to configure the language in the application. The language is set out in the phone and the items preloaded on the application are those of the phone language.

Easy to use and quick

Extensive database of preloaded items: over 360 in Spanish and over 250 in English. The items are loaded into the database the first time you start the application

The application has a tab that displays the items of the shopping list, a tab with usual items that can be copied to the shopping list, another tab to add products to the lists and / or database and a tab to change the name of any item preloaded into the database or delete it

It has been tested on devices with Android Platform 1.5, 1.6, 2.0.1, 2.1 and 2.2

User can send shopping list by email

Use QR-CODE attached to download it and enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] A3G:
There is a new version of the application, version 1.1, which makes the application even more complete. The changes are:

You can sort lists by various criteria: last added at the end, last added to the top and alphabetically

Items selected in Shopping List tab are not disabled when changing tab

You can add items to the lists from the Items tab directly

Browse all items from the database in the same window in the Items tab (ALL option)

Bugfixes: Now, you can add new items that include the character ' (apostrophe)

What's your opinion?
[Android Apps and Games] A3G:
Please, any comments about the app?
[Android Apps and Games] A3G:
There is a new version in Android Market (version 1.1.1). It solves the problem in Shopping List when the phone changes the orientation and the selected items lose the selection.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] A3G:
It's now available a new version of eMyShoppingList (2.0) with the following news:

The app can be installed on the external storage (for example, the device's SD card)

You can specify quantities and units of measurement of shopping list items

Regards.
[7 Mozart General] jtphl:
can Mozart's Xenon flash serve as flash light? I read some review that LED can stay on but a xenon can't since it's like digital camera flash, it fires once after it has sufficient charge. To those people with units, can clarify on this ?
[7 Mozart General] Necroman_AI:
I don+t have the unit, but flashlight app from HTC is not available on the Mozart (check HTC website for instance). I don't now if 3rd party flashlights will allow this, but what i know is that xenon flash must not stay on because its powerful that LED and eventually may burn the flash... So LED may be used for flashlight, but xenon no.
[7 Mozart General] fredskis:
No, it cannot. I bought a powerful LED light from DealExtreme for my keychain to use as a replacement as I was used to the HD2 LED flashlight :)
[7 Mozart General] Maikell84:
There are a few apps for the HTC 7 Mozart. But they only make the screen bright! In my oppinion thats pretty useless... :rolleyes:
[7 Mozart General] kabumm:
Yeah, Xenons cant light up permanently. They physically just cant.

And using its display as flashlight sucks. :)
[7 Mozart General] breakbystealth:
I read that the flash can only be used for short periods of time as its an Xenon bulb and will burn out if used for to long.This would also explain why know one has made an app for this. The screen light apps are no good but thats not the fault of the app makers as if they could do some thing with the flash im sure they would do. Its almost as important to have a touch as it is a alarm these days and we have all kinda come to expect it. Hope this helps.
[7 Mozart General] WetSpot:
The xenon flash is driven by a flyback converter (in the same manner as a capacitor, sort of) running voltage of around 200 - 300v, as the naked battery power isn't capable on it's own... The reason it can't be used as a flashlight is basically due to the converters recovery rate...
[7 Mozart General] webwalk®:
so how does modern cars use xenon lights ?

true, its kinda important, all i ever read was how awesome the xenon flash is but never a word about its disadvantages untill i got one. well i can live without light, always got a lighter, or consantly take pictures like in some horror movie for light ;)

then i read this nice mozart review and about the camera

http://www.missuall.com/htc-mozart-2/

so i think in future the xenon flash can and will be supported by apps and then it will totally rock!

sounds like you got some internal knowlege about, so is it possible to flash with the xenon more then one time ? how long is the recharge time, how many times can you flash in lets say 10 sec? if u cant make it always on, try to make it flash 24 times a sec ;) i kinda think it wont be possible, but then cant we have multi-shot pictures? i wish i could view in future ;)
[7 Mozart General] WetSpot:
The phone flyback converters are produced pretty much with two goals in mind:

1. be small enough to fit into the case...

2. supply the demands of a low-tech, low demand camera...

I think even if you could overcome the dependance of the flash to recover only in line with the frame rate of the camera, the battery would not be sufficient to run it as a torch/flashlight for long...
[7 Mozart General] alalai:
So we can't use the xenon flash also during video... grrr

:mad:
[7 Mozart General] nicksti:
This is one reason I am strongly considering the cheaper Trophy over the Mozart. The Mozart has a better build but if you plan on doing anything involving flashlight capabilities then you will be better off with a Trophy.

You could buy an external keychain light but to hold that and keep the phone steady will be a task.

[General Questions and Answers] onesolo:
Hello,

Is there an Wifi Scanner App that can scan Wifi hidden APs and display those same APs ?!?!

Until now, I used about 3 to 4 Wifi Scanner apps, but none of them seems to scan any hidden APs...

I removed my home AP (it doesn't broadcast the SSID) from the phone's wifi list, and when I try to search for it with the several wifi scanner apps, none found my SSID as well dozen of others hidden SSIDs near my home... (that I know are out there...)

I'm coming from WinMo, and the 2 or 3 apps that I worked with, all of them had this feature. I found this very strange...

Is this a google policy, or suddenly the app makers forgot about this feature?!?!

I say this cause, on winmo I used the Wififofum app, and the same app in android lacks the ability to show hidden SSIDs...

Is there any app out there that can do this??
[General Questions and Answers] ParrotSquawk:
Try WiFi Analyzer 2.5.1
[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
Yeah, I was going to wait until I got into work to check, but I'm 99% sure Wifi Analyzer shows them, plus it's damn awesome for channel planning.
[General Questions and Answers] onesolo:
I tried but it doesn't show hidden SSIDs

It was the first app that I use since I began using android on my old Touch HD, but only know I realize that it doesn't show hidden SSIDs...

I tried Wifi Analizer, G-Mon, Wififofum and none will display them...

What a big ashame... this was the last thing that I didn't expect not to have on a linux based mobile OS... or google has a policy do disable this type of scan (Apple does have one, does not even allow an app to do kind of wifi scan...) or it's developer's fault...
[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
Stop with the FUD, Wifi Analyzer DOES show hidden SSIDs. Period. I just checked it here. All of our corporate AP's are hidden to make it more annoying and difficult for us to navigate the already silly set of parameters required to get online wireless without any actual increased security....
[General Questions and Answers] onesolo:
What FUD?!?!?!

At my home and here at my work, two APs that I manage myself and both are not broadcasting SSIDs, if I remove from my Wifi Networks lists (in android settings) they simply don't show up on Wifi Analyzer!! I'm not lying about this!!!

Of course, if you have your hidden APs on the Wifi Networks they will also show on Wifi Analyzer... it's simple as that...

Another test,

With Wififofum working on Windows Mobile (on a Touch HD) at home (I live in a home building near other home buildings), I gather more than the double Wifi networks (most are hidden) than I get with Wififofum or Wifi Analyzer in Android....
[General Questions and Answers] Maverick_TN:
I'm having the exact same problem with my HTC thunderbolt.
[General Questions and Answers] k1mu:
That's because that's how WiFi works.

An access point sends out periodic broadcasts announcing itself. If SSID hiding is enabled, those broadcasts don't have the SSID included.

So how can software tell what the SSID is? By waiting for a system to associate with (connect to) the AP. The connecting system transmits the SSID of the system it's connecting to as part of the association handshake. Software that watches for these connections can tell you what the SSID is for that AP. The problem is that at home you've probably got very few new connections being set up so you may have to wait for a very long time to catch a SSID. At a workplace, it's much more likely you'll catch the SSID in a short period of time.

I use WiFi Buddy on my dinc and it seems to work fine.
[General Questions and Answers] onesolo:
I think what you are telling is almost irrelevant ... The thing is... By default Android don't reveal any hidden SSDI. If it by default/design or any security measure by google, I don't know...

Too bad no developer won't code an app to do this (if possible to do)
[General Questions and Answers] Maverick_TN:
Windows mobile will show hidden wireless access points and routers that have broadcast SSID disabled, they show up as a hardware address, you can connect to them if you know the name.
[General Questions and Answers] onesolo:
Right... but I also can connect to a AP or WIFI Router that has broadcast SSID disabled in Android... the same in (old) WinMobile...

What does not exist in Android, is that there's no 3rd apps that can show those AP and Wifi Routers with broadcast SSID disabled... it beyond me...
[General Questions and Answers] Maverick_TN:
Exactly.... You would figure that Wifi Analyzer would show it as good as it is. But sadly, it and everything else doesn't :-(

Hard to plan for channel usage if you can't see what else is operating in range unless its broadcasting.
[General Questions and Answers] Park82:
So still no app to show hidden networks? :(
[General Questions and Answers] mystikal87:
Have you tried WiEye ??
[General Questions and Answers] RaJ35h:
Solution found without exclusive app - Needs ROOT access though.

I have a XPERIA X10 mini, rooted, running Android 2.1 update 1.

At home I have setup a wifi network, that has a non-broadcasting SSID.

Though I have setup my phone to connect to this SSID, my phone will report the Access point as "not in range, remembered".

When the Router is configured to broadcast the SSID, my phone will automatically connect.

Here I will describe the steps I followed to enable my device to detect a non-broadcasting SSID.

1. ROOT your Android Mobile

2. Get a tool to browse through the system areas of android

I used Shell Commander (to complete it smoothly). I shall explain why, later.​

3. Navigate to /data/misc/wifi/

In shell commander, you have a graphical folder navigation.

The command will be cd /data/misc/wifi​

[You can skip the next step of taking backup]

4. For backing up, copy the file wpa_supplicant.conf preserving its attributes.

This is the reason I needed shell commander.

The command will be, cp -p wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf.bak​

5. Edit the entry for the non-broadcasting network in the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

The content will be as below.​

ctrl_interface=wlan0

update_config=1

network={

ssid="No Broadcast SSID Main"

psk="SsIDMainPassword"

priority=17
​

}

network={

ssid="SSID2"

scan_ssid=1

psk="password2"

priority=14
​

}

network={

ssid="SSID 3"

scan_ssid=1

psk="password3"

priority=15
​

}

​

add scan_ssid=1 to the non-broadcasting entry

ctrl_interface=wlan0

update_config=1

network={

ssid="No Broadcast SSID Main"

scan_ssid=1

psk="SsIDMainPassword"

priority=17
​

}

network={

ssid="SSID2"

scan_ssid=1

psk="password2"

priority=14
​

}

network={

ssid="SSID 3"

scan_ssid=1

psk="password3"

priority=15
​

}

​

save the file.
​

6. Enable the Wireless in your mobile.

Having done this, the WiFi connection, corresponding to the edited entry, will be connected even if not broadcasted (provided the Access Point is indeed available).

Points to be noted while doing this.

The wpa_supplicant.conf file should retain all its attributes as is. While saving the file, if the permission group changes from "wifi" to "root", as it did for me, you will never be able to enable WiFi ever again. There is no way you will be allowed to set the user group for the file to "wifi", as such a group is stated to be invalid. In shell commander, I was able to retain the attributes, but had problems when I used ES-Explorer.

The double quotes (") around the SSID name and the Password are necessary. While saving in Shell Commander, the double quotes were not saved. I forced it to include quotes, by putting a backslash escape sequence (\").

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

If I understood it right, despite the fact that your explanation is quite complete, it doesn't apply to this case.

What they're looking for is a app that shows what hidden SSIDs are available for connection. Not a way to connect to it.

By the way, anyone have an app to suggest?
[General Questions and Answers] RaJ35h:
Oh, I am sorry for mistaking it.

I might be wrong here, but when an access point is not broadcasting, isn't it supposed to be hidden from those who scan for available APs?

Also it will be nice to have an app that does the entire process I had explained with a single check box that says "Connect even if not broadcasting". :)

I am a programmer. But I have not learnt to create Android apps yet :( .

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] bionicbone99:
Solved?

Hi, has anyone ever found a solution to this?

I have an old Access Point currently sending out a hidden SSID signal as an open network (as a test). I can connect to it via my laptop because I know the SSID.

However, all the android software I try on my Galaxy Tab 2 does not see it, even those that "say" they detect interference on channel show the channel as being clear.

I agree with what is said above, what use is this method of detection if there can be several signals on channels that are not being shown. I understand that the SSID is only transmitted during a device connection, with that in mind I have got my laptop consistently trying to connect.

Incidentally, my Windows 7 laptop can see the signal as "Other Network", and when running inSSIDer v2.1 it detects many details include the valuable information of Channel, Signal, It also provides the encryption, MAC address and vendor so this information must be available!!
