I've had this issue with both my droid and my blackberry (when I used my blackberry). I think that the wifi capabilities in phones are not as good as they are in computers.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
but the reason I'm asking this is this phone is supposed to have wifi N radio in it.. Older phones only had G antennas which are only capable of 54mbps.. wifi N is theoretically capable of up to 300mbps, I've never seen anything actually connect at that speed, but it would seem that my phone which is brand new should atleast connect at the same speed as a 2 year old wifi N laptop???
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
If your router is only G that's the max speed you will get?
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
Wifi is a pain in general to troubleshoot, as there could be many, many reasons why it is slow or not working at all.

General questions to be asked are:

Do you have security enabled wifi?

What kind of encryption are you using?

How many devices are connected to the network? (Wired or wireless)

Is the router set to send a wireless N signal? (most routers have that optioned, but not always running as most devices are not wireless N compatible)

I've had my phone connected at several wifi's (I travel a lot for work and am in hotels all the time) and my connection speed varies. At home I have great connection and speed test to 5megs a second download (wireless N--it connects) currently at a hotel in Colorado, 1480kbps download (wireless G)

I still stick by my thoughts as far as the wifi on the phones will never be as good as the wifi in a computer, be it a laptop or a desktop. Phones just don't have the battery power to hold a super strong/fast wifi signal.
[Samsung Mesmerize] msird:
I have wifi speed problems also but my first gen ipod touch does not seem to have issues
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yes, the router is set to wifi N or actually it's set to all!!! I have security enabled..

There's only two devices running wifi (laptop/cell phone)

I get fast download speeds like 5000kbps down/2500kbps up when using the speedtest.net app..

But when I go to wifi settings and click on my router once it's connected whether I have Good (usually) or excellent it's only connected to my router at 72Mbps.. I have a static IP set for it..

I guess mobile phone wifi chips just aren't up to par with laptop chips
[Samsung Mesmerize] skitzo_inc:
My little brothers touch has the same issues with speed.

Those are my sentiments exactly. Even with it not being as fast, it's plenty fast for everything I need it to do, but 3g is fast enough for me generally. I only connect to wireless when I'm not in good cell service.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] perivarlura:
Hi,

I just realised that I'm going to post this, hopefully to get some help getting the frame buffer issue working. I'm not giving up on it, but it just doesnt seem fair to sit on this any longer since it works, besides the GUI glitches.

As i said before, the S7 kernel does not support framebuffering, which makes the GUI in the recovery a bitt messy. When you move up / down in the menu, it switches between selecting an item on top and an item on the bottom (you'll see 4 menus in total, but the ones on each horizontal line is a mirror).

This means that it starts by using the lower one, and it uses the top one next, then it goes back to the lower one. Boot it up and you'll probably see what I mean. This shouldnt cause any problems with the recoverys operation anyhow.

If you want to enter adb in linux you will have to get a copy of usb_modeswitch and run the following line in order to get adb to recognize the device:

sudo usb_modeswitch -W -v 12d1 -p 1031 -V 12d1 -P 1035 -M "5553424370ab71890600000080010a1106000000000000000 0000000000000" -s 20

This will switch the huawei s7 usb device into adb mode.

Also i take no responsibilites of bricks or other problems caused by using this recovery. Its truly for learning usage only.

My credit list would be to long if I where to include all forums that I've visited to get more information about this device, but if you feel like you deserve credit, let me know and i'll add you, otherwise, thanks to all people posting information about android devices, i could never have done it without you.

Ofcourse i have to thank the creators of clockwork mod, and also the people who wrote the repack-image.pl and unpack-image.pl scripts

Thanks to my wife who put up with me sitting and messing around with this for almost a week, giving her not the attention that she deserved, and thanks to all users of the S7 tablet out there.

h***://rapidshare.com/files/438781673/recovery.img.zip (not allowed to post links yet)

The shortcut key for entering recovery is menu + send, if anyone wonders.

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
[Ideos S7 Android Development] fosormic:
Works great. Ill research a bit to see if i can help
[Ideos S7 Android Development] GvoZdik:
Sorry for qwestion, but... How can i put it into device? Via fastboot on cmd, or somehow other?
[Ideos S7 Android Development] ra1254:
I hope we can get a 2.2 rom
[Ideos S7 Android Development] GvoZdik:
sorry, but it working not fully...

its have errors to open nandroid-mobile.sh

and its cant format SDcart to partitions ext2 and ext3...

or maybe i doing something wrong
[Ideos S7 Android Development] perivarlura:
You're right, I noticed now that I the wrong ramdisk in the image that was released. I have several of them for which I use to debug the framebuffer stuff, and I forgot to use my own build.

I'll upload the correct one sometime this weekend.

Sorry.

The ui glitches even more now that the misc partition handled and the nandroid script is running. I guess i need to get this fixed before i release it, or it will just be a mess.

PLease help... My phone was running android fine until one day it ran out of battery

and after that the rom was a fail. I installed a new rom and it said my sd card was damaged, so i formatted it. I then again installed another android build and when i went to run clrcad it said this is not a pocket pc application... My dual boot option window is now gone too.. I am running a very basic form of windows that does not sync or do anything. Can I just reset my phone and do it from scratch? If so plz point me in the way of a thread.:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Just made my first android app.

I'm really confused about one thing. How to rightly simulate different android mobile screens with the android sdk.

Im trying to simulate the HTC Desire screen. But ive problems getting my app looking the same in simulated screen (avd) as it does on a real htc desire.

This is the example i am using:

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S phone, and my friend has got a HTC Desire.

When i install my app wht the default HVGA-avd on my pc , it shows exactly as on my samsung galaxy-phone. But the app doesnt show the same on the android-avd compared to the real htc desire phone.

Ive attached in this post 2 links to screendumps, that shows the app on avd(htc desire simulator) and the app on a real htc desire phone.

- link: home.c2i.net/hkhan/real_htc.jpg : this is a screendump with the app running on a real htc desire phone.

- link: home.c2i.net/hkhan/avd_htc.jpg : this is a screendump with the app running on the avd.

In the AVD (htc desire spec) the whole app-screen gets showed, with the button numbers from 1 to 9. But when i run the app on a real htc desire: Only the numbers up to 6 get shown, as in the picture. I dont see what im doing wrong....i need to get the avd similar to the real thing, or else i would not be able to test my app properly.

Ive got my friend to send me his htc-desire specs. this is what we get when he run the app 'tDpiInfo' on our mobiles. Both the htc desire and samsung has got the same specs as following:

The only difference between the galaxy and desire i get is:

I have set my pc monitor resolution to

I have set the Android AVD for htc desire with the following:

Any suggestions and help will be very very appriciated. thanx.

Did you check Android Development and Hacking and then the subforum Android Software Development?

Seems to be the best place to search for, or ask, a question like this one. Your question has nothing to do with this Desire subforum :eek:
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krowwf:
Hi All,

My A70 is stuck in recovery mode giving me an "Update failed: (1)" message.

Since the 2.2 update it would run ok for anywhere from an hour to over night and then start freezing up and loosing wifi, keyboard keys sticking etc, etc. I'd do a factory reset and then it would be fine until the next episode. Ive done a reset probably 10 times. THEN, I tried to re-install the a fresh batch of firmware and this is what the result is.

Does anyone know what that means?

I have requested a RMA but that will take over a month. But I guess if it's fried I'll have no choice.............. :(

UPDATE: marcusmarcus on the archos fans forum pointed out that I was trying to install the .aos (archos operating system) file at the wrong recovery prompt. Instead of trying to load it at the "update firmware" prompt, I was supposed to load it at the "reformat device" prompt, hit ok, and let it do its thing. It worked and its up and running! Oh happy day! :)

Is there any way to sign out gmail?

Thanks
[Nook Color General] joogle:
Hi - I have the exact same question.

When I on the gmail app and click on 'Account Settings', my NC reboots.

I have 1.1.0 version with Auto Nooter 3

Thanks

Anyone know the answer?
[Nook Color General] cyberkhan:
Waiting for the solution too.

Anybody please???
[Nook Color General] swoozle:
What are you looking for, a way to remove your gmail account from your nook?
[Nook Color General] janko10:
No I think they want to sign out/sign in on the device.

i.e. if we give our nooks to someone to borrow, don't want them going through our email, just sign out of it, not uninstall gmail.
[Nook Color General] jimbobalu:
You probably have to remove the account or you could disable sync if you just don't want to receive mail.
[Nook Color General] janko10:
Yeah as far as I can tell, the only way is to remove the account.

Disabling sync wouldn't really work since someone could just go back into settings and re-enable sync.
[Nook Color General] sgt.banana:
What I did was to go into settings -> applications ->manage applications, under the All tab go to gmail application and clear data and cache.

Every time you want to access your mail, you'll have to sync/refresh your account.
[Intercept Android Development] bigwooly:
SlapKernel 1.1 by ckpcw from SDX

I'm just reposting over here so that folks who may not read SDX are aware of it.

Any and all credit/blame goes to ckpcw from SDX i'm nothing more than the messenger

Link to Original Post

Features working:

-Fully compatible with both Sprint and VM Intercepts

-Root (bypasses epic exploit / one-click-root, no need to revert if you've installed it)

-Wifi & tether

-init.d scripts through /system/etc/setinit.sh (standard method)

-Busybox with swap support (tested with jiml8's enableswap zip)

-Auto-mounting of ext2 /system, /data, /cache partitions (need new recovery before this could be seriously utilized)

Implemented, but needs verification:

-Numus Battery mod

In Progress:

-Overclock: working towards an alternate method - I'm not convinced true overclock was achieved with the recent kernels

-VM-specific issues (doubtful this is a kernel issue)

SWUpgrade .tar:

No previous root required.

Flash as usual (place file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Samsung Electronics\SWUpgrade\Models\Binary\ by itself)

SlapKernel-v1.1.tar - http://www.mediafire.com/?5dpkailps0fbf06

SlapKernel-v1.0.tar - http://www.mediafire.com/?jpjc6ca3bj5ch4d

Recovery .zip: if you have rooted and installed inxane's recovery. To install, place the zip in /sdcard/sdx/zip/ and apply through inxane's custom recovery.

SlapKernel-v1.1.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?qc3q148g1gbnkee

SlapKernel-v1.0.zip - http://www.mediafire.com/?dy7nmddb0r81g9j - mirror

CHANGELOG

v1.0) Initial build

-Init scripts

-/sbin/sdx.sh root method

-LouZiffer's busybox with swap support

-Bypasses epic exploit with /sbin/playlogo

v1.1) Slapped silly

-Added Numus' custom battery code

-Added ext2 automount support for /s /d /c

Let me know how it goes!

-ckpcw

Big thanks to inxane, Necrosan, Kuroyoma for their kernel work. Props to joeykrim for the cross-compiler guides. Gracias, Numus for the battery code. Ups to all of SDX for the sdx.sh script I lifted.

how would you rate the hd2 out of ten? because i have been to the store and played with it and it seems really good but if one of you has it can you tell me your opinion of the phone.

I also cannot afford the unlimited data plan but i can afford the 200mb a month data plan would that be worth it? i am almost always around wifi so is there a way that i could turn off the phones 3g and just use wifi and not use the data from my plan?

Also if there is a way to only use wifi, is there an app that could track my 3g usage just in case i do use my 3g because i would not want to go over since that is such a little amount of data. Or if there is not a app is there a way to check online, like on tmobile or something?

The help would be greatly appreciated because i am new to smart phones and i really want one, thank you for the help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bazinga:
I do like the HD2! But let me tell you some stuff I think is missing ...

Soft keys - especially if your going to be a heavy android user, the HD2 one piece plastic hard keys feel a bit ... tacky

Camera button - I don't know if its just me, but my old phones had a dedicated camera button and it is just handy

Kickstand - I personally like watching movies or streaming youtube videos, and holding in my hand makes my wrist sore. Sure, there are work arounds like cases with kickstands but it would be good if there was one built in like the Evo

and thats about it! oh, and I don't have a data plan with it because I find myself to be around wi-fi alot and I don't find it justifiable to pay more for internet on my phone than fi-os internet at home! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
I love my Hd2 . It's screen is so luscious and its ability to boot Android and winmo is great.

In both Android and winmo you can turn off and on your phones mobile data usage so it only takes data from the WiFi network. In Android you can also select your phone to take data when on a WiFi network when setting up your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hagba:
Honestly Im in love with this phone, but a piece of advice, you must do a great deal of customization to get it in a proper shape, but once done its a king.

Sent from my HD2 using the Swype. !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HectiQ:
there are zillion apps (cabs in winmo and apks in android) that let you control data, block all connections, only allow mms and so on. I put my phone next to other android phones and the strangest thing is this device is faster than all others when you have the right build installed. (only boot takes a while, but who cares).

how would I rate it?

+1 PSX games with PS3 controller

+1 4,3 inch

+1 android,winmo,win95,98,ubuntu,..

+1 highly tweakable

+1 everything is ported to this phone, good devs

+1 720 P cam

-1 no front cam

-1 no touch buttons but hard buttons (yes they do get rusty over time) :p

+1 great GPS, tomtom on HD2 is faster than ANY OTHER GPS SYSTEM, EVEN TOMTOM DEVICES!

-1 resolution and colors (not that it's really a big deal-I don't think it sucks,if you use the right wallpapers and such)

so that's a 7/10 for me

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister B:
I'm also thinking of getting a HD2.

Main issues holding me back are build related & durability.

Screen touch failure/button issue seems all to common

battery cover is of low durabilty finish

overheating

no camera key.

How durable are some of you long time owners finding your devices to be ?

If not a HD2, what are the non android options ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
crazy things you ask there.............best phone build,...

for camera key, try scilors cab to use volume key as camera button in winmo,

you dont use softkeys in winmo...in android you can use button saviour...

every thing has a solution, thanks to xda:p:D

i rate it 20/10..bcos its that more than what i bought it for in jan 2010 and it is still the best phone come jan 2011
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huggs:
Overheating is an actual issue, seen quite a few cases in these fora. But you'll know in the first couple days if you've got an overheater, and can return for a new unit. I would say to any HD2 owner, if it feels warm, no problem. If it feels hot, turn it off n let it cool down. Any phone's gonna heat up, but I think alot of the overheating freeze-up problems people get are due to not shutting it off, removing the cover and battery, and waiting for it to cool if it does become hot. Mine gets warm at times, but has never become hot.

The hard buttons still work fine for me, like everybody says, Android requires much more use of hard keys, but button savior lives up to its name. And its really very convenient.

The back cover is kinda low durability, I've dropped my HD2 a few times, it's never scratched, but there is a very small (hardly noticeable) spot by where you pry it open to remove the battery, where my thumb has rubbed the paint off, but the color underneath the paint is almost identical. Some folks have even polished their batt covers for a mirror chrome look. Or you could get one of those rubber cases (I have one but never really use it, but they're not bad)

I have never had screen touch failure, but I too have seen a few cases around here. I would say avoid overexposure to extreme temperatures, don't abuse the screen, and you'll be okay.

It's true that the HD2 takes a bit of customization to get it working great, but that's true of all WM phones. Difference is, when you get the HD2 working the way you want, it's a beast. It's been a very reliable phone for me, and there's enough stuff you can do to it to keep from growing bored and buying another really expensive phone just because the one you have 'isn't fun anymore'.

The HD2, with a good sized sd card, beats any Android native phone, rooted or not, because you have to flash one of them for a new Android OS. You drag n drop a folder on this thing, n you've got a whole new phone. Plus the Android phones will never run WM 6.5, which even though support for the OS is dying, it's a slow death that will go on for at least another year or two, and it's still a great OS IMHO. I don't see why so many people like this WP7 garbage, but that's just me. But hell, you'll even be able to run that on the HD2 pretty soon if you want to.

I would say go with the HD2, it has way more pro's than con's, especially for someone who's into modding their phone.

Ive had my hd2 for about 6 months and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It takes a while to get the customisation right, with apps and stuff, but they are truely great.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzz killington:
I would have to rate it 8.5 of 10. It's a tweaker's phone since it has excellent hardware. If you run it on stock Sense you might feel it's lower than that. If you're willing to put a little time in it to tweak it or run custom roms, you'd be very happy with it.

Sense is very beautiful to look at, but I got tired of it after not very long, I just don't need that much power going to visual effects. Once I switched to SPB mobile shell it's extremely fast, functionally it's not any slower than running android and better battery life. Android on it is running very well, the difficulty is picking among all the nice builds.

For hardware I wish the power button would be tucked away more, I find it often gets bumped and turn on in my pocket or golfbag. I would've also liked a little bit bigger battery. But those are really the only complaints I have regarding the hardware. I don't need a front facing camera and I don't see the need for faster processors. I'd take less processing power for better battery life.
