[EVO 4G General] Stroid01:
So what if you are in a good 4g area (also not using wifi) turn on the 4g then turn of the 4g does it go into the dc connect error flood? I rarely use my 4g but I avoid turning it on unless i plan to do a reboot to avoid batt drain issues. I am running myns rom so i havent tried to update anything since the latest update. Curious if the new update still forces a reboot after using 4g.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I'm gonna sound like a douche but, the answer to your questions are in the text you quoted. Try rereading it as I broke it down about as straight forward as I could for everyone.
[EVO 4G General] Stroid01:
Yes you mentioned in the last paragraph about batt drain issues but I dont see how leaving 4g on solves this issue. Leaving 4g on all the time will probably drain more battery scanning for signal (when not available) and use more battery when using the 4g signal then when on 3g. I personally think if you use 4g after you are done with it turn it off reboot then go back to using your phone normally. Yes its a pain to reboot but imo you will get better battery life using this option then the options you are suggesting...thoughts?

Either way i tested it out for myself, i updated to latest radio and still getting the dc connect error flood. From my reading on this issue from other threads it seems this is an HTC code fix not an android fix...but that is speculation.

Lastly I read your response several times..maybe its not as clear as you think it is. Glad you wasted time writing that response then simply answering the question. Dont assume people dont read and search the forum. So congrats on sounding like a douche..be better to discuss this issue then put your great reread comment up.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
I walked into a room with no WiMAX signal, 3G kicked in and the notification "Tap to scan" showed up. However, I did not touch anything and after a few minutes, my phone was once again connected through 4G.

So it will actually re-scan and reconnect eventually, even if you don't manually tap to scan.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
You need to read better then. I distinctly said the dc connect errors were still present in the new update.

I distinctly said the wimax state is changed to disconnected when there is no service. I also explained what happens when the wimax state is disconnected.

BUT, since you seem to be adamant that you did in fact read what I posted I will spoon feed the info to you.

When the wimax state is "disconnected" it does not do anything, it does not scan and the radio itself is not off. It is in a "sleep" state.

I said the dc connect errors were still present in this update and I explained that leaving the 4g radio on will revert to a "disconnected" state when there is no service available. Since it doesn't scan in the "disconnected" state it is not using battery. Because of this, the radio is not off and does not flood the background with dc connect errors. In the "disconnected" state the radio does not scan for service and the impact on battery drain is minimal.

Now, if that isn't clear for you then nothing will be. I invite you to search my original unedited text again and show me that I did not SPECIFICALLY state that the dc connect errors are still present in this update. When you find it you will know that it is you who has not read the text properly, not me.

I will test this later today if I can. Like I said earlier in this thread sa is blanketed for most part with wimax service so I will have to force this scenario but it's great that it rescans for you.
[EVO 4G General] Stroid01:
Yeah I know and I said i see you mentioned that in my previous post

I didnt ask you to spoon feed **** i asked for thoughts on my comment

this is the part I dont necessarily agree with as ive seen my phone scan when no service is available (otherwise how would it automatically lock back onto 4g) but as the next post said his 4g kicked back in so does mine leading me to think what you are saying isnt correct about it not scanning and draining battery, i could be wrong but i will look into that as well

Doesnt add up, if the 4g reconnects automatically has to scan to reconnect to 4g not going to magically know that 4g service is available again

Funny you say search your text again when apparantly you didnt read what i said in my last post saying that you mentioned the batt drain issue (referring to the dc connect errors) never said you didnt speciffically state that, geez dude relax and realize I am trying to troubleshoot the situation as well
[EVO 4G General] dr_acula_sxe:
My phone won't update. I haven't gotten the over the air update and when I try to manually update it it says that my phone is up to date.
[EVO 4G General] Stroid01:
Little more info needed..you running a stock rom, custom rom, wimax version currently on?
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Ok, I will work with you on this. In my very first post, I did type "initial observations". I never said they were definite.

As I told the other poster, I will force the situation where 4g drops out and rescans. If it does rescan I will I monitor it's behavior when no service is available.

My hardware kept me at version 3.29 and I don't know the software behavior of 3.30. I also chose not to install anything related to 3.30 since my hardware didn't need it.

With that being said I only have the software behavior of 3.29 to compare to. In 3.29 the rescan frequency was very close but since I use extended batteries I don't care about battery life anymore and so I never took note of how hard it hit battery life.

Just a theory here but it's possible that if you had a wimax signal before it dropped out it somehow remembers certain information related to whatever conditions were present just before your wimax drops out and if some/all/certain parts of those conditions return true it possibly triggers a rescan.

Again, I will actually test this just to help. I am actually getting ready to install the rom I just built based off the 3.70 update so don't expect anything within the hour.
[EVO 4G General] Stroid01:
Thanks for looking into it dude, good luck with your rom.

Im in Atlanta and the 4g here is pretty fantastic i rarely loose it except in office buildings and just a few random dead spots around town. So it is very possible i had wimax signal before it dropped out but not really sure how to be certain on that. I may just payup and get extended batteries I think its crap that using 4g on my evo drains my battery so fast that it makes me not want to use it.
[EVO 4G General] naorion:
I can add a little more info here as well. Since the update I have been seeing the tap to scan messages, but even if I leave it alone - the phone will still reconnect to 4g when conditions are right. I'm hoping the new behavior will at leave stave off some unnecessary scan flooding to give SOME improvement in battery life, but at this point I'm not expecting anything major as battery life was not listed as being improved in the update release notes.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Nice add naorion.

I'm now tweaking the 3.70 rom that I just installed and if I can I will test it later tonight.

From you added though, it sounds like my theory may very well be the actual behavior of the wimax radio now.

If that is the case (still speculation) it would mean that it's possible sprint got smart and started using the tower ids of towers that are within range of wimax towers.

Tonight will tell though.
[EVO 4G General] dcoaster:
Does this update fix the issue where the phone becomes extremely laggy when 4G is left on? And still continues after 4G is turned off?
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Yes. Not only that, you can leave 4G on even in a spotty area and battery life will not suffer! It's been 4 hours since I unplugged my phone and have used it extensively.. My battery is at 85%.

It's safe to leave 4G on now! I'm even gonna try leaving it on overnight and I'll let you guys know how it goes.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
For those keeping track of this thread, the wimax radio DOES rescan when the wimax state is "disconnected"

From what I observed, if your wimax signal drops out the wimax state is changed to "disconnected" and after about a minute (I didn't time it) it will rescan again. It will always revert to "disconnected" if no service is found.

This is actually an improvement over the 3.29 wimax behavior because the wimax radio would constantly scan instead of take a break between scans.

The annoying thing is that the 4g notification won't go away until you touch it to scan.

So, I still believe it is better to leave the radio on in the new update to prevent the dc connect error flood in the background since the wimax radio now scans at intervals as opposed to constantly.

On a side note: This new kernel is awesome. I undervolted it to -150 on frequencies below 500mhz and -95 on the rest. I also have the powersave and conservative governors running and working. Ondemand is my typical governor, powersave for sleep/screen off, and conservative for phone calls. Using tasker to change governors accordingly.

I found that changing the governor to powersave when the screen is off is better than underclocking. That's a more lengthy discussion so I won't go into that here.
[EVO 4G General] aph:
Isn't nets kernel still a newer version then the htc one?

Spoken from my Evo using Ultra Keyboard and XDA App
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I wouldn't know because I don't use other peoples kernels anymore.

I just extend the stock kernels that come with the rom versions.

I have found that whatever kernel htc releases is usually the best one for that rom.

But that's just me.

[EVO 4G General] DavidIQ:
Anyone figured out how to disable the notification without disabling 4G?
[EVO 4G General] Crotchety:
I can't tell by the screen name if he/she is male or female. So using it often might possibly be warranted lol
[EVO 4G General] postwick:
Any progress on this? I would love to get rid of this new "feature." I control my 4G radio manually for a reason. I know where I get 4g, and when I need it. I turn it on when I need it and off if there's no signal. This new "feature" is an annoyance.

I hate it when developers arbitrarily use blunt hammer solutions to problems that don't affect everyone, and end up causing new problems for those who weren't affected - why do they take away options and make decisions for us? Let ME choose how and when it scans. Imagine that, letting the user decide.

Hi,

Finally managed to upgrade to 2.2 with my debranded Legend, thanks to the RUU posted by Football.

This time I try to install the less apps I can, so I would try to avoid installing Handcent for the SMS.

The HTC stock apk is not THAT bad, but it's in black and white (with white background=loss of battery)

Do you know how to skin it? Or to inverse colors? (Black background)

Been using my Omnia 7 now for 2 days, and like it a lot.

2 things I've noticed and would like different are:

1) Turn Off Vibrate when you press Search and Back buttons

2) Keep on the lights under Search and Back (these turn off after a few secs after you press them).

Does anybody know if it's possible to do anything about that? I haven't found any options for it...

Everything worked perfectly, and the Superuser Access icon appeared in the app drawer. Unfortunately, no programs can gain superuser access. ROM Manager keeps giving me an error when I try to do anything (flash recovery, fix permissions etc) and doesn't show up on the list of 'Superuser' programs.

If I understand you correctly you took an app written by someone else and after modding it, you want to make a profit by selling it as your own. In my opinion it's highly unethical and without written permission from the original author it's illegal - therefore you shouldn't do it.
