[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golemaw:
As said before, unfortunately Android does seem to connect to Ad-Hoc networks easily.If you are running Windows 7, you can use Connectify to create a WiFi hotspot and connect through that.

The other alternate is to create an Ad-Hoc network and join that network. I have not been able to get this working correctly yet but other phones have.

The problem is that the native wpa_supplicant filters all the ad-hoc networks from the wifi network list.

You can get the patched wpa_supplicant with allows you to see all the networks here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754961

Remember to get the 0.6.x version.

Then I believe you have to set your wifi to use a static ip to be able to connect.

The last time I tried I managed to get a connection on Froyo ROMS but no data. It just might be my settings on either ends.

I just recently rooted my phone and am looking for a custom kernel.

I am looking for a kernel that uncaps the FPS and creates great battery life. I am using toast #8 right now and am not getting the battery life I would like. I am hardware version 0002 stock rom. Any suggestions? I also have a question about wiping your battery stats, I charged my phone to full power and rebooted into recovery and wiped my stats and am in the process of running it down until it does a force shut down. Maybe this is a stupid question but whats next...charging it until it full?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Helton566:
Find a rom you like then find a kernel that works with it and your phone. Try stock kernel #11. I have 0003 hardware with Azrael rom and it works like a champ.

i m searching for the backup tool that saves all the settings like connections, regional setting, owner info n others? is there any software? i searched few threads and found SKTool in one of the thread..dose SKtool works for our excalibur as well??

thanks..
[HTC Excalibur] crz6662:
SKTools does work on Excalibur but I don't think it saves all your settings like nandroid does for Android. Not sure though.

You should try SPRITE BACKUP. It does a wonderful job. Not exactly free, but.. there is always a way...

So I have been wondering how many people actually use the locking features that come with your phone. The more we become attached to our phones the more sensitive information we have stored in them. Hit up the poll and lets find out.

I'll just throw it our there I have started to use the lock all the time I have it set to the 5 minute inactivity with a pattern.

Sometimes I do, Sometimes I don't

I generally keep my phone unlocked when it's on my person, and I'm conscious. I seem to find myself always setting a lock pattern right before I fall asleep at my girls house though. :D
[EVO 4G General] phsteve:
I lock mine after ten minutes. Problem is, if I lose my phone and someone finds it and wants to return it, they can't call anyone to try and get the phone back to me... I just started using Widget Locker to add a note to the lock screen with a phone number to call if found.

I think I'm more likely to lose my phone than have someone steal it, and this is the solution I came up with.
[EVO 4G General] michaelvibe:
Same. I am usually turning the screen on and off so the lock screen becomes more of a hindrance than feature.

No, but as far as I can tell, they are the same size. I've even used the stock battery with an extended door setup, and didn't have any issues.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jeriel05:
It might be a bit much to ask, but could you try the sprint extended battery with the Sprint extended battery door to see if it fits. I know the battery covers are slightly different. I would hate to order the case and find out it won't work. I would really appreciate if you you could do this.

Sent From My "EVO"
[EVO 4G Accessories] blackroseMD1:
Fits like a glove man. No worries. I ordered it straight off the Seidio site and got the whole combo pack for $75 with overnight shipping. It's $49.95 on their site, which seems like a pretty good deal to me. This case pretty much defines the term rugged.

I think some people may be confused in this thread.. here is what i posted:

1. Sprint extended battery fits the REGULAR SIZE innocase rugged. im not talking about the EXTENDED innocase rugged.

here is my set up:

1. Sprint battery

2. Seidio Innocase Rugged (NON-EXTENDED)

3. NO stock battery door

My method:

Cut the Innocase II back to accept the extra bulk of the extended battery, NO STOCK BATTERY DOOR.. then i covered the phone+ extended battery in the rubber, and skeleton.. I am please so far.. here are a few pics..

they are NOT the same size... I checked yesterday.. the 3500 is a little bigger.. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] jeriel05:
Let me get this straight before I order, seidio rugged NON extended requires the silicone to be cut out and needs to be used without the battery cover. And the seidio rugged extended can be used with the Sprint 2600mah battery with the extended battery cover no modifications needed?

Sent From My "EVO"
[EVO 4G Accessories] ecooke21:
I can confirm the first part of your statement...

YES: the seidio rugged NON extended requires the silicone to be cut out and needs to be used without the battery cover.

the last statement i cannot comment on, i dont have the extended rugged case
[EVO 4G Accessories] blackroseMD1:
The sprint battery will work fine with the extended battery cover. It is, in fact, a little smaller than the Seidio, but still fits just fine.

[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
Wait. Wait. Wait. I did this first and I did this right, and I really need to put some pictures up, but I have the extended battery, and the door inside my seidio rugged case.

I did not have to cut the silicon rubber part. You can cut the first case that slides over the phone but I choose to use a different case ie the body glove that sprint sells since I had bought it when I first got my evo because I needed a case and that piece of junk is all they had. Now this why I need two EVO's to take pictures. I cut the back of the body glove case to allow the extended battery door to pass through. I then had to use a pair of fingernail clippers to cut two notches on the right and left side of the case where the exo skeleton middle arms clamp onto the silicon rubber case.

Now I didnt cut the first case that came with the seidio rugged because my wife will be getting an evo and I will give here that case for her phone. This is really not complicated, the rugged looks better than the extended version plus it serves the exact same purpose.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ecooke21:
i didnt cut the silicone case either.... how do our methods differ? except the fact you used the body glove case...?
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
Because in your response to jeriel05 you say you have to cut the silicone........ Its about six or seven post up.

I also have mine together with the battery cover installed. I just want everyone to know that its possible to install it without cutting the rubber and still use the door to secure the battery. Some people may be turned off by the fact that you say you cant use the battery door when in fact you can. You would have to keep it in the case all the time, some people take their phones out of the case from time to time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] uget2seconds:
I think what he meant to say that he needs to cut the Innocase II and not the silicone...

But what bignibb posted is different because instead of him cutting the Innocase II he used a body glove and cut that instead. Im guessing that the thickness of the body glove is the same as the Innocase thus allowing you to easily cut the glove, and place that before the actual Rugged silicone is placed on top...

:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] bignibb:
And I have the battery cover installed so when I take it out of the case for whatever reason, my battery doesnt fall out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ecooke21:
oops, I did mean to say I cut the innocase.....sorry for the confusion...

[EVO 4G Accessories] stc1:
I also have an innocase rugged for the EVO after reading some of the ideas for adapting for the extended batteries I tried a variation of bignib's process but instead of using an old hard shell I modified my original sprint silicon cover. Just cut out the back for the battery and then trim the small lip that clips over the glass ( about 3/32" ). Its almost a perfect fit and it doesn't cover as much of the earphone slot. I just did it so if I find any problems with it during use I'll let you know, Rick
[EVO 4G Accessories] gmanvbva:
This thread was/is confusing but at least there are some pics now. That rugged case looks just like the Active LE case (which I have and love). I guess Seidio's setup if both a curse and a blassing. You have to buy the Innocase Surface II to use the rugged case ($30+$30) but have the option of removing it and using just the Innocase.
[XPERIA X8 General] Magnustor:
Hi,

I have problems with the Message Center since I update my Xperia X8 to 2.1 it disapear and I can't configure it. After update mobile asks me to get operator information, but I wrongly press the not button and I don't see that message again -.-

There's no visible configuration menu on the mobile now, but I find this dialing sequence to do that:

1. Open your dialler and dial: *#*#4636#*#*.

2. From the menus which appear, select Phone Information.

3. Scroll down to SMSC.

4. Enter the SMS centre number given by your provider in this box.

5. Select Update.

I tried this, but reports me an "update error" :S

My operator center message number is: +34609090909

I don't know what to do, some sugestion to solve my problem?
[XPERIA X8 General] a-k-t-w:
Try running the setup guide again.

It should appear in your app drawer, with a magic wand for an icon.
[XPERIA X8 General] Magnustor:
Hey a-k-t-w!

I solved my problem changuing my SIM card for another of the same operator and that runs the setup guide, is the same as yours but more ineficient, then your solution is the right one on this case, thank you :)
[XPERIA X8 General] Tulum:
That problem i have to....

And i didn't solve it yet. I'm not very good at english, so something there i didn't catch :S

On 1.6 x8 was able to send message.

On 2.1 it was unable to do it.

Now i root my x8 on 2.2.9 FroyoBread 0.25, and still not effect...

Please help me, i will be so greatfull.

EDIT: I done same step just like magnustor and it didn't work on 2.2.9

P.S Sorry on my english, i now it is terrible :)

anyway thanks

Visit forums like this.

There a lot of owners using the streak as a mp3 player: OK we'll put a stop to that by removing any decent volume :mad:

Ok there's a lot of owners using rebel sim to bypass the unlock: we'll put a stop to that with 2.2 :mad:

There's a lot of 1.6 users utilising the 5' screen size: we'll put a stop to that with 2.1 and design it so you can fit less icons on a screen :rolleyes:

And when we release 2.2 we'll release it with something called stage which wastes even more of the 5' screen size :mad:
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkyevolved:
Lol. Now that's a rant.

I haven't had the streak all too long but it's a fantastic device. :). The volume control is really low. But I'm sure Dell will fix it if we head on over to their forums or something. Possibly put in a ticket? I'm going to open a support ticket this week because there are a ton of apps on the market that give me an error 18 message which pisses me off. But I guess I'll open a ticket for this too. Haha.

Help! my email is not working on htc snap.

I am connected via home wifi network. internet explorer mobile and youtube app are working fine.

email client gets some form of connection from the internet for sure because when i enter the email address and password (not from a major provider that is preinstalled) it shows my company name in the title of the email service (again, its an small independent site so this must have been downloaded).

then when i try to Send/Receive email, i consistently get an error message. it says internet access not properly configured, check Connections.

i am connected via wifi. 3G / 2G data is not being used at all (all the access points from the APN deleted to avoid using cell phone network data for now)

so my question is, why does everything except email work on wifi? even after the email client correctly verified my password, and downloaded at least the name of my domain name's company for sure over wifi (thats the only available connection). why is the actual email downloading not working??

i also tried my gmail and yahoo accounts, and they didnt work, manual and automatic configurations.
