[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] account1:
reinstalling the firmware using SEUS will fix the problem
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] DDoZ:
Ok. I think you are saying that sombody changed the wallpaper.

For that, from the Official Launcher:

No go with G1

Doesn't work (as expected) with my G1 (ad-hoc only). Tried forcing the Nook to reconize ad-hocs with a few hacks I found online. On the Nook, I tried a modified wpa_supplicant deamon and editing both /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini and /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf files as suggested. None of these combinations worked.

fyi if you need to mess with the /system directory:

in the adb shell

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

enables editing the partition and

# mount -o ro,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

sets it back to read only.

[Nook Color General] Baka no Kami:
Works with a rooted Nexus one running the latest Cyanogen.

It only worked with the portable hotspot feature of 2.2 though, pre 2.2 I had to use the wireless tether (ad-hoc), which didn't work for original nook.
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
I have the original DROID and I can tether to my laptop but the Nook doesn't even see it.
[Nook Color General] momohammed20:
if wifi tethering is not working for you, it's probably because the nook does not see ad-hoc networks, this is a similar issue with the galaxy tab. The way to fix it is to edit the wifi supplicant file, i dont have a nook yet, but i think if someone looks at the changes some people did for the galaxy tab wifi supplicant file, maybe they can port over the changes for the nook.

[Vibrant General] spookini:
I understand all that. But here is my newbie question:

Can the 4G TMo devices (say myTouch4G or G2) really attain quicker d/l speeds than a 3G device like Vibrant? If so, how?

I have not been able to read a clear explanation of this anywhere. Also, TMo says their network will hit 21Mbps in 2011, and that is backward compatible. If so, then why is a 4G device needed?
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
Call it 10G if they like its just a name, I dont care as long as the speed meets my need at a reasonable price.
[Vibrant General] borrusownage:
because our phones are only capable 7 mbps while the g2 and the mytouch4g can go to about 14 mbps (not even 21) ... but yeah thats why ... its hardware related
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
They are backward compatible, for example HSPA+ will give vibrant which does not support HSPA+ a speed boost, just not fully benfitted. Same story with USB 3.0 and 2.0
[Vibrant General] Vegastouch:
4G is 100 mbps and TMobile will be 21mbps. None of these networks will have 4G speeds and all in fact are upgraded 3G speeds. AT&T will be usding the same HSPA that TMobile will be using and eventually they also will be at 21 mbps.

How any of these carriers can call themselves 4G is beyond me.
[Vibrant General] Shane_pcs:
Actually the 4G spec calls for 1 Gbps stationary speed, the 100 mbps is the minimum while mobile so it will be 5 years before you really see that.

T-mobiles current "4G" Network is currently running at 21 mbps, with 42 mbps a software upgrade away. So while they don't meet the true 4G speed threshold, neither does sprints current 10 mbps wimax, or verizons 12 mbps LTE. When sprint and verizon first launched their "3G" networks they didn't meet the requirements for at least a couple years, and we are not any worse off due to that flexibility.

I still roll with a 7.2 mbps vibrant and I will be honest, there has not been any time where I had good 3G speed that I needed anything more.
[Vibrant General] scrizz:
think back to USB 2.0

when USB 2.0 came out it allows for higher speed transfers etc....

You will only get 2.0 speeds on a 2.0 port.

The USB 2.0 device will work in a 1.0/1.1 port, but it will not give you 2.0 speeds.

if you want, just replace USB 2.0 with HSPA+

and replace 1.0/1.1 with HSPA7.2
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Let me try to shed some light on things for you.

Yes. Without getting all technical, it has to do with how the data is compressed and encoded on the different channels that the phone and cell towers use.

HSPA+ is an improved version of HSPA. HSPA is an addition to UMTS 3G which allows for faster data transfer rates than just regular UMTS 3G.

You won't find one unless you do some real digging and learn enough to understand some basics of UMTS. True 4G does a lot more than just give faster data rates. The entire back-end of how the cell towers and core network route information is different. The way the radios in the cell phones work is different and the way the cell towers organize data is different. The benefit is more efficient mobile communication service.

The way things are with 3G, it is difficult to balance voice traffic with the ever-increasing demand for data traffic and maintain QoS for a large number of users simultaneously. Anyone who has tried to use AT&T 3G at a football game or concert can tell you how crappy the service gets when the towers get loaded.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Yes But Marketing.......

All that tarzanman said is correct but the larger picture is just perception and controlling it.

Basically, we really do not have 3g unless you really get somewhere close to 7mg speed consistently........We do not and i am ok with my 2-3mg speed it is plenty good enough for my needs.

Here is a good analogy......when front wheel drive car first came on the market they were hailed as a breakthrough in making a car handle better allowing more room in the car and being safer. The fact is only a little more room is the real benefit and the rest....well, it is just cheaper and easier to mass produce. The car handles poorer than a rear wheel car or 4-wheel. But, they convinced most of the dopey-ignorant customers/masses and even to this day people still think they are better. Moral of the story.........control the message and control the spin, and to hell with facts........ because most don't care they just want the latest "craze jargon" on their lips so they feel cool...(sorry for the rant)

I have had a cell phone now for 27 years.......and here is my advice:

here in the USA --go with T mobile for now watch the business trends and when they start acting like Verizon and Att then look for the next up and coming carrier and then go with them.. That is the only way to have decent, reliable and fast connection speeds for a reasonable prices.
[Vibrant General] Ry-Guy615:
Who cares? As started in the article ITU's decisions hold no water. They have no authority and their definition is arbitrary. I'm in the product development industry, and when our end product goes through a redesign or significant optimization it gets a generation bump. We're now up to third generation. Product looks the same for the most part, but performance increased as a result of engineering changes.

For the wireless industry, all carriers are implementing significant performance increases through network upgrades. These upgrades are not 100% compatible with current generation devices. As far as I'm concerned that's worthy of a generation bump. People are splitting hairs for no reason. It's quite silly. If I were an engineer for any of the major carriers right now I would be pretty annoyed with this ITU business by now.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
It is easy,

HSDPA+ (TMO), EV-DO(Verizon), LTE(Verizon) and 802.16e Wimax(Sprint) are considered 3G Transitional.

LTE Advanced and 802.16m (WiMax "Advanced" if you want to call it that) are 4G.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP

Go to the bottom of the page and view the chart.
[Vibrant General] Vegastouch:
Verizon can call their LTE whatever they want but the fact is it isnt as fast as TMobiles HSPA+
[Vibrant General] greenstuffs:
i rather have true unlimited 3G than some bologni 4G with a 5Gb cap. May be is too much to ask for.
[Vibrant General] techboydino:
Remember, Most tout 4G more or less as 4th Generation rather than true 4G. Although marketing says otherwise. It's a ploy to get your service, just like spray painting your head makes you look like you have more hair. I don't care what they call it, as long as it benefits my speeds.

For companies that have actual caps. its stupid that they are increasing the speeds that you hit your cap. So you may have better speeds to do more, but really you are just hitting your cap faster so you can pay them more money.
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
lol are you serious. wikipedia is not even a credible source and ANYONE can go in and change the info.
[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
Actually, that wikipedia article is pretty spot on.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
indeed it is. And unless you want to read a few 700 page books on the differences between UMTS/WCDMA/HSPA, and LTE/LTE-a, that's about as good of a source as is available at this point.

And as to the OP - it's all about marketing. Technically speaking, 1xRTT and EDGE are both 3g technologies. But cell companies hyped up EvDO and UMTS as 3g, to simplify it for the American consumer.

And so they're marketing their next generation of networks as "4g", even though that doesn't meet up with what the ITU defines as 4G on technical terms.

Again, this is all because cell phone companies know that people buy into the hype rather than concern themselves with the details.

But in the end, who gives a damn? It's significantly faster than what people used to expect from 3g (ie 1-2mbps), so as long as the results are better, they can call it 9000G for all I care.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
All of this 4G related discourse is exactly what the carriers want. Four gee shmoor gee. I'm just happy I get 3-5 mbps down where I live.

In the end, we are all just stupid pawns :p
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
It doesn't matter, wiki bashing is in vogue even if one doesn't have a clue if the article is accurate or not.

Wikipedia 4TL!
[Vibrant General] Vision77:
I totally agree with you that it's all about marketing.....and people feed into it because they are blissfully ignorant when it comes to cellphone technology....They will take what the carriers give them....They won't do any research on data speeds and barely do any on pricing plans....Most only see that a phone is only $100(cheaply priced) and it has "4G"...They don't understand that they are gonna get the snot f@cked out them when they sign that new 2yr contract and pay for "4G" that's really 3.5G at a premium price...SMMFH...
[Vibrant General] brian_v3ntura:
but wikipedia is never a credible source. never will be.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
Yeah, yeah yeah "WIKI BAD" we got it. Your anti wiki overlords have been sated, you can now add something non trollish to the conversation now if you so choose.
[Vibrant General] t1n0m3n:
From an end user perspective, these new speeds change the way mobile data is used in general. I am not sure if you guys remember the fuhrer over 3G, but it was everywhere... 3G this, 3G that... These network upgrades have the possibility to significantly change the way we perceive mobile data. Along the same lines that 3G changed mobile devices from 2G. Possibly even more.

What exactly are they "supposed" to call it?

I think the "reality" of 3G (1 to 2 Mbps) to the "theory" of 4G (1Gbps) is too big of a chasm to cross. Barring a reality check from the ITU, the carriers have done the only thing that is left to them. That is adopt the 4G name and screw the ITU's "standard naming conventions"

So, while it is easy to define what "is" and what "is not" 4G, I think the entire ITU naming standard is thoughtless and pretty much of no value to use in conjunction with a consumer oriented perspective.

We need something new. Fire the ITU. Edit: Or at least just ignore them.

seems to be a concern whether i should use original framework from Toshiba with its better hardware support, or make a Nvidia framework edition with less good support for speciifc parts of the hardware like BT and USB.

So question with this poll would be what is the preference here..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Spikoror:
If you can pack all the supported stuff in there, better hardware support from toshiba should make it more stable, right?

Nvidia

Hi Dexter

I tried 1b but returned to v2 because it seems a fair bit more responsive.

My vote is for Nvidia and some wifi and bluetooth fixes.

Thanks again btw :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dexter_nlb:
as Nvidia uses a different hardware, this is likely not going to work very well with toshiba hardware.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gfpyc:
Dear Dexter_nlb

At first, I bring to you a thanks from more than 100 Chinese users. Your roms realy fix lot of prolbem for AS100.

I translated your question and post it at a most popular android forums in China Yesterday.

Until now, 9 people agree a Nvidia framework ROM, 3 people want still keep Toshiba framework.

In that post, all users hope can fix the gravity sensing's prolbem (the gravity upside down in some gam, and run the Bubble in landscape screen time)

3 users want keep app from Tosiba, like Tosiba market, FileMgr.

Just 1 user want keep the Tosiba Desktop.

Hope that infomation can help you.

sorry about my english not good, but i think you can read it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dexter_nlb:
thanks for all your feedback!

i think the only way forward, is that i keep both editions alive..

having 0.2 being nvidia based moving forward from 0.2a ->

and Toshiba edition which personally i like, to move from a 1.0 state and forward.

i might just need to change name of one of them.. :-)

but yes, it seems somehow majority want a nvidia, with less hardware functionality (at least seen from 0.2) and maybe with BT fixes in future update.

and that i might just agree on IF i cannot fix paid apps download, which for 2 days has been really annoying. (i even got an account from a supporter with a paid app, so i could test this)

if time is available, i will try and make 0.2a grow with a 100% 360degree fix and hopefully a better BT fix.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gfpyc:
Oh~bad news, I'll go to the Chinese forum ask them again.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gfpyc:
Thanks for you replay.

I just know the 0.2 editon from Nvdia framework. So I will posted a new thread with that point, for ask all guys again.

Because now they all using 10.b and think it's handy for use. (exclude someone fear of the risk of refresh ROM. XD )

But, our timezone now is 4:31AM, i guess maybe tomo can give you a feedback.

:D:D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] killerbie:
In my opinion it would be best to keep on devolloping the toshiba edition. I also think it would be cool if we could choose between a couple of launcers after te installation.

Also, why make versions with and/or withoud certain app's? (toshiba marktplace) Users can always add or delete these :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dexter_nlb:
? (0.2 is stock based, so no toshiba apps work well)

1.0b is toshiba stock firmware based with updates, so all their apps included as found in their release..

somehow, your question is understood..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Sol Ido:
I'm glad to see that some people share my concerns.

I've tested all the mod that you, Dexter have setup.

My conclusion is that Toshiba have tried to put some multimedia friendly stuffs in front of the scene but they partially failed on the finish line.

As we can experience this release can play movie in high quality but the UI freeze randomly. It's really difficult to setup a complete full media.

On the other side the nvidia release is fast, consumers cherry less and only tried to

prove the velocity of the hardware. I'm sure they are working hard on android since

as we can see tegra2 is coming to the smartphone tablet and other tegra is on the

way.

On the ToshMod(proposition) we can only integrate what toshiba is providing. Are they still working on the tablet after the folio selling fiasco ?

On the DextMod nvidia will provide for sure new release but we need to community and time to setup all goodies required for basic consumers. This release

is favored by developpers.

Since Dexter is working alone (until now) i think it's much more easy to continue on the toshmod to get results and new features. If we can get some more ressources then DexterMod based on nvidia would be more open.

It's just present conclusions, please share yours views :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] roglio:
nvidia mod is better, more responsive and faster.

Not to offend my fellow Fascinate users, but if I were buying soon and wanted Froyo, I would want someone to tell me to either suck it up, or hold out for something else.

Being a pessimist, I'd say that updates to this phone are being sat upon for commercial reasons. To sell more devices at the right timing. But that is likely bitterness for naively convincing myself that there'd be a major patch in November.

Being the eternal optimist that I am, HTC is due for a new android phone. They are blowing our the old incredibles, free in some cases. With luck whatever it is will launch in two months. It would undoubtedly have a more current OS than 2.1.

However, Eclair is in fact pretty nice. The biggest thing that would change for me is the ability to run a handful of updated apps.

Bottom line, no need to take it out on the new guy.
