Plz just to inform, before posting I try really hard to solve it by myself !!!

I can not connect myself to any open wifi spot !

My handsfet Xperia X10

Android 2.1

I did succeeded to connect a week ago but right now I simply can not connect to anyone

I already tried some applications:

WIFI Analyzer

Wifi Manager

WifiFinder

They do locate it (open wifi spots( and try to obtain the IP address and even sometimes a connection is established by can not navigate, access market

Can a wifi spot be tagged as OPEN but it is not ?

i thank you everyone in advance

Like i see it, it's not normal.

I would sent it back.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junta_mpb:
That does not look normal at all. The second picture seems to show a hole more than a gap. Maybe its misaligned? Either case, I think you should get a replacement.

Not normal at all. I would send it back for a replacement.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyphoenix:
Not normal. Looks like when they machined it they got a little carried away on that side.

doesn't look normal to me either . you should get a replacement for that
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crypt0r:
Hey Guys,

Is there any app or any way to make a "real" WiFi router out of my HTC HD2?

My problem is that the app "Wi Fi Router" jsut creates an Ad-Hoc network. But I want that "Infrastructure" Network. Because Iw ant to connect my 7Links IP Camera directly to my Phone and the Camera doesn't support Ad-Hoc networking (the Manuel does not tell this but it won't connect...)

Any ideas?

Or is there any way to make my laptop to such a WiFi spot?

would be nice, if someone will get this app working: http://de.appbrain.com/app/toggle-2g/com.mb.toggle2g or code a similar app, which will work with tasker to switch between 2g and 3g without user interaction.

if there is a hack or an app alternative which works already on galaxy s, please let me know.

Did you ever find a Tasker plugin? Tasker support in Superpower is indeed planned but wont be integrated anytime soon. I tried searching for methods to do the switching with Tasker but couldn't find anything... Anyone else?
[Focus General] momadine:
Hello,

I have loaded my Focus with 3 movies each one of them were 1 hour and 45 minutes and was able to view all of them before even getting the last quarter of the battery.

I played mp4's of 5 hours and 20 minutes and their size was almost 3 GB of videos.

The phone had every connectivity option disabled except the cellural one (The location services and the feedback also disabled).

Also I had the mobile for a week without putting the sim card and the phone lasted for the whole week before recharging.

Conclusion:

Video playback time is more than 5 hours and you should have the phone working till the end of the day.

Standby time without the sim is 7 days.

Standby time with the sim around 3 days ( Don't last the 3rd day).

Average standby when heavily using it is 1 to 2 days.

The above information is my experiment with the phone after 1 month of playing it.

The battery life is improved compared to the 1st time I used it.

Hope that helps :)
[Omnia II General] MiniGizmo:
I have an Omnia II, and i run TomTom on it.

i want to purchase a carkit, but i want the voice directions to be played via the carkit on the speakers of my car. And when the spoken direction is finished, to switch back to whatever was playing (on my CAR stereo that is)

so i don't want to stream EVERYTHING of my phone... the music must be played on my car stereo, but when tomtom wants to speak, it should do that on the car speakers.

how can i get this to work, whick carkit do i need?

(i was looking at the Parrot Carkit MKi9100)

Weeds2000 fixed the orientation on our Folio100 to work with games like Asphalt5 and now its possible to play, although graphics are still kinda messed up. but other games like the 3d tilt works nearly perfect now too.

you might find it useful, and VEGAn mod might be able to include this as my FolioTntMod is based of the TNT framework...

Find the download patch i made for our folio in this thread.

it also include a full 360 rotation fix, if you need it :-)

As we all share the same Tegra2 platform and can nearly swap experience here, im posting this to share the fixes weeds2000 made for us...

Hope you find it useful..

Note:

The patch i made might actually work fine as update.zip on your tablet as well, or might need minor adjust to install, but let g tablet modders fix this if needed.

at least now you know its available.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Thank you! One question - do you know what file(s) were altered for the 360 rotation fix? Was it a lib file, for example?

EDIT: Also, to any other modders looking at this, the system.img is a ext2 filesystem image, NOT a yaffs2 image.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Roeby wan Kanobi, is this something that could work and be added to TnT Lite? My Clockwork back up just completed ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Yes, I can package it as a supplement - I just need to know what to package. :)

Getting my dev unit ready with TnT Lite 3.1.2. There's also a new music player apk I need to test out.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
This could be another watershed update :) Also- with the accelerometer corrected, folks will be getting exercise by holding up the G while playing games ;)

added:

Perhaps the one extra update that would be nice is a DSP manager so dB level or gain increases can be made. Modders released a DSP manager on the Incredible that allows increases to 3.5mm and speaker output. Hardware based EQ too.

Perhaps being too picky, but louder speakers would be nice.
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
Did you see.. they provided the SOURCE!!!!! This is what we need!
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
What does the patch change? Would is break things when the application developer fixes the orientation code in their game.

We saw this problem fixed in the application in the Gallery 3D application by google, not in framework. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/09/one-screen-turn-deserves-another.html
[G Tablet Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
okay here are some details.

the framework.jar modified comes from this file: update-smb_a1002-3338-user.zip

the library should be generic, but is required for the gsensor/rotation/orientation fix as part of the new framework.jar changes.

the 2 primary folders in the framework.jar changed are /android/hardware /android/view

you should be able to easily spot the differences in filesizes..

do note: there is another change android\os\Environment.smali as i modified it to work with /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/sdcard-disk0 and /mnt/usbdisk-disk0 for compatibility with folio mount functionality.

here is the "vold" also different but works fine with the tap'n'tap framework.

remember that /etc/vold.fstab needs changed to support the more new mount devices if you wish to use that one too.

360 rotation fix is in android\view\WindowOrientationListener$SensorEventListenerImpl.smali

orientation fix is

android\hardware\SensorManager*.smali

but again, the framework.jar is Tap'n'Tap based, so works directly on top of r3338 edition.. and i made a patch in my section with just framework + lib files included.
[G Tablet Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
No, as far as i understand, weeds2000 only made the hardware swap sensor reading, so now it acts like a portrait mobile phone, where our Tegra2 has the chip rotated once 90degree.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Hmm, so it does a 90 degree rotation. And the device is still a default landscape device. We definitely need to make sure there are no negative effects on games that utilize the acceleromether and worked fine before.

I would assume that the android developers would recommend making this change to framework, instead of handling it in applications if there weren't implications.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Thanks for the explanation - this is something I suspected would fix it, but it's good to see that someone had pushed the idea all the way through to an actual fix.

So, I suspect that when the device boots up, it should be in portrait mode initially (until the sensor kicks in).
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
That makes more sense to me if that is true.
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
I read through the code ... Prior to the code change they were performing the rotation either for Acceleration minus Gy on the y-axis

or Acceleration minus Gz on the z-axis and NOT Acceleration minus Gx on the x-axis. Now the axis swap is always occurring... under all 3 conditions irregardless of sensor.

Dont know why there was an exclusion in the first place for Acceleration minus Gx on the x-axis...

When I get back I will look through the code some more...
[G Tablet Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if Google didn't "invent" the different way of reading sensors, there would only be one way of doing it, so developers would not be able to see it, so an update to like 2.2 or higher is now an requirement, right? but if older games do not check, it would work with them, so this fix solves it as i see it.

putting back androidos orientation handling to its original state, as many developers should be reading it.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
I have ported the fix for both TnT stock and lite. As well as Vegan beta 4.

[G Tablet Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
remember its all done by weeds2000 , i cannot/will not take credits for his effort here, i am just sharing the good work done on this fix.
[G Tablet Android Development] weeds2000:
I have released a new version of the fix, this should clean up all the remaining issues with the accelerometer/compass. Code is also much cleaner now. Some weird hacks you may have seen were caused by the legacy API which was used by my test game.

Only known issue up to now is that the mouse coordinates are also rotated.

The source can be found in the zip file attached to the original post, I hope that all changes are prefixed with // XXX:

The source files are based on the nvidia-froyo tree.

Doodle jump doesn't work. Game loads upside-down with home buttons on top. If you tilt left you go right...Any fix for this?
[G Tablet Android Development] liwei_kuo:
Does this work for the VegaN Ginger Edition, or is that fix built into the ROM, I think I am having issues with some games on that ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
I think you can write the developer and tell , that the games is not working normally.. all other games work fine, so why would one game stand out, only reason, bad programming, or misunderstanding of androidOS and orientation. maybe developer thought he should fix the "orientation" in his game on tablet, and forgot other trying to make it reverse.. so: bad programming and choice of developer..he should follow guidelines and not his ideas.
[Android Software Development] guyom78:
Hello,

I wanted to know if anyone had an idea to implement this function because I'm looking since yesterday and I have not found much, just:

developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Address.html

developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html

developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.html

But I am not more advanced and my question remains: I'd like to know: how to know the road on which we are?

For example, I want my application to tell me: you're on the street...xxx or highway...xxx

Like on the free application " compass " that makes it !

Thanks in advance for your answers!

And escuse me for my english, i'm french.
[Android Software Development] mainerror:
Well the links you have provided are the right ones except the last one. I'm not sure for what you'd need the contacts for that.

Now in principle you obtain a Location object from your LocationManager. Get the latitude and longitude from that Location object and pass those values to the GeoCoders getFromLocation() method.

You will get a List of Address objects from which you can get all the information you need.

[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Since we had such an excellent turn-out in the ideas for lag-on-wake thread, resulting in a team effort to get the kernel bug identified and fixed, I figured we could do the same for the SD Card issues in the Viewsonic source code that result in some apps disappearing or being unable to install unless you unmount the internal SD card area before installation.

Rothnic does have a request into Viewsonic, since they seem to have addressed this issue between their two kernel builds but they neglected to release the patch for it.

But... that could take several days or several weeks to trickle through the bureaucratic food chain. I suspect this is a small change if we can isolate the area.

What I tried so far:

Just the dumb-obvious. There are three mmc drivers directories in the VS patch, mmc, mmc_orig, and mmc-new. The only one getting built is the mmc directory. I diffed the mmc and mmc-new files, and tried building the mmc-new driver instead, but didn't observe any difference in behavior with respect to the mounting issues (i.e. error -18 when I try to install Angry Birds from market). The diff between these driver file sets is quite small, and limited to a few files.

What I suspect:

There is an "install to SD card" option built-in to some apps. I suspect that the apps affected by this may be the ones that enable this option. Perhaps something to do with the loopback device Android tries to create on the SD card for external app storage (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/07/apps-on-sd-card-details.html)?

Why this relates to the kernel:

Well, the issue doesn't occur with the latest kernel build from Tap N Tap and does with our kernels. :) There are user-space workarounds (unmounting SD card) and some of that may be workable into our ROMs, but I'd like to get a kernel that is a drop-in replacement for the stock kernels.
[G Tablet Android Development] vsc:
Consider the following patch which just enables some "stuff" in the kernel.

http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?...it;h=555d0c0e5b9a86b5e291216d59406709b34480d6

For me clicking on the link you included yields a page not found...
[G Tablet Android Development] v12xke:
Is it possible to unmount the internal SD card area while running the OS? I've used the mount / unmount options in CWM, but have not found a way to unmount /sdcard inside the OS. Wouldn't this be like cutting off the branch you are standing on? I'm currently running TnT Lite 3.1.2. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] rswindle:
Just a thought, but how does a standard android system's mounting structure run? Isn't it something to the tune of some other root folder than /sdcard, and when an sdcard is inserted that gets mounted to /sdcard? Is there a reason we don't have our roms mounting in this way, and would this not improve compatibility with the android system and apps as a whole?

If the issue is that people would then have to have an sdcard for a lot of things, perhaps we put those to /sdcard2 and partition a gig or two slice of the internal storage to mount at /sdcard so the internal storage can abide both concerns..

Am I way off in just thinking the systems mounting structure might be better served to mirror a standard android system? Does it already and I'm just being dingy?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Fixed that link, but yeah, that looks like a very promising patch, and it's just config file changes....

The question is whether the CONFIG_BLK_DEV and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP stuff is also dependent on other patches to the mmc driver or other kernel files.....

EDIT: I cherrypicked the relevant-seeming config file changed from that patch, rebuilt the kernel, and am testing it.

BINGO! Angry birds installs again without having to remount. More coming...

See config_patch attached for the specific changes I made. For kernel devs, just unzip this into your arch/arm/configs dir and patch -p0 < config_patch.
[G Tablet Android Development] vsc:
I figured...

The thing that I don't know is why does TnTLite not have issues. But this can't hurt. Post your config so we are working with the same configuration and I'll give it a try with TnTLite.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Config uploaded above. I included the crypto stuff because I believe the loopback block device that Android uses requires it, but everything may work without it. Not certain.
[G Tablet Android Development] vsc:
I think the crypto stuff is required.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Very nice find guys.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Have now integrated this into my kernels posted in the lag-on-wake issue thread.
[G Tablet Android Development] insight3fl:
I Have the same question...I dont run cwm
[G Tablet Android Development] vsc:
Posted an update for TnTLine on the other thread as well. My problem is when I reinstall AB and run it I have to force myself to get out of the game....
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
I think enabling twofish under crypto would fix this. Will build one later when I get home: )

Update:

I basically enabled two fish and others..The most important thing was to install Devmapper and Dev Crypt :) in the kernel to get it up and running..Consider this issue SOLVED.

OK got Angry Birds installed without unmounting SD. Will continue testing..Everything seems to be fine..I'm uploading..Please test...Just put clempatch.zip in your internal SD and install.

I am having trouble with my screen turning off when making a call,it happens both in win-mo and also when using Android.

I am using 13th Dec NRG rom and the latest HD2ONE android rom.

As soon as I dial number and pess call the screen goes black and the only button to work then is the end call button,in android it will take a battery out reset or abouit half hour left alone before i can use the phone.

I have done a search but the only thread that comes up is the same prob as mine dating back to June with no deffinite answer.

Does anyone else have this problem,its strange how it happens both in Win-mo and Android I'm at my witts end as to try and solve it,it happens no matter what rom combination I use.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AinsCrowbar:
Well the HD2 has a sensor near the top so that the screen will turn off when you bring it up to your face, and turn back on when you bring it down again. Perhaps your sensor is broken? Can you send it in for warrenty?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] potsykate:
Thats the problem,it does the same even if I am holding it away from my face at arms length,I have disabled auto-brightness too,makes no difference.I have now seen many threads on this subject with lots having the same problem but it still seems there is no deff answer.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
If it's in both WinMo and Android it's almost definitely a hardware issue. Maybe there's some dirt in front of your proximity sensor, try cleaning it. If not, return for warranty.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dharvey4651:
Not trying to sound like a troll here but is the sensor clean? I've had a similar issue before but after cleaning the corner of my screen(skin oils get all over it), it worked fine again.

Another thing to think about is this: Does the WinMo ROM you're using have Co0kie's Home Tab Mod V2.0? If it does, Is the proximity sensor option turned on? If it is then any time anything gets close to the corner of the screen, even a finger, the screen will turn back off.

Sometimes partial data's like this are carried over into Android when you boot.

Check to see if you have CHT and if you do, check to see if that option is enabled. If it is, disable it, clean your screen and see if this helps.
