[Touch2 General] Digistras:
Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I just got my hands on the HTC Touch2 Non-Camera version which is the same as HTC Touch2 with camera and is exclusively for Singapore Market only due to me working in a military enviroment. This is my 1st ever touch screen phone. I have a few questions that I would like to ask:

1. Is there any way that I can remove some of the tabs on the Home Screen Tabs Bar? If yes, can I do it within the phone itself or do I have to install a 3rd party software to my phone to achieve this?

2. If I have to use a 3rd party software to remove some of the tabs on the Home Screen Tabs Bar, which 3rd party software would be the most user friendly and easy to use that you guys would recommend?

3. Can I Add new tabs (e.g phone book) to the Home Screen Tabs Bar?

4. Also, can I create different ringing profiles for different enviroment and select them easily? For e.g:

i) In a meeting, I would like my phone to vibrate only for all calls, SMS etc.

ii) In a exam, I would like my phone not to vibrate or ring at all.

I remembered Nokia phones are able to create different profiles for different enviroments and I just need to activate them with just a few buttons pressed.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone able to help?
[Touch2 General] tlkh:
Hi fellow Singaporean!

There's a sound mode called "Automatic" that allows you to set ur Mega to Vibrate during appointments u create in calender, but normal otherwise. If you need your phone to be silent during a certain part of every day, create an event in calender and set it to repeat every day at the selected timing.

For the tabs thing, use M2DC. It's very user friendly. You can add/delete tabs and even modify the entire TouchFlo through themes and other tweaks.

Hope to be of help :)
[Touch2 General] hoobinoo:
hi... i just googled and found out m2dc is manila 2d customizer, but how do i go about using it? doesnt seem to have any official site providing this software/whatever it is supposed to be... this is my first windows mobile phone... i'm also wondering how i can customize what appears on the bottom bar... pls assist! :)

btw, sorry to hijack this thread, but i'm wondering how i can also backup my phone... what software do i have to use, etc... too used to nokia providing me with the pc suite for their phones... htc.. none?!
[Touch2 General] tlkh:
OK, M2DC, like many other apps around, do NOT have any official website, but they usually have an official thread on this forums. Just download and install M2DC(copy the cab to your phone and open it) It should appear in the start menu. Just play around with it. About the backup thing, if you have outlook you can use ActiveSync(XP) or WM Device Centre(Vista/7) to sync ur phone with outlook. Also, use Microsoft MyPhone to backup your phone. You should have Microsoft MyPhone reinstalled.
[Touch2 General] hoobinoo:
thanks for the reply! does that mean that there is no such thing as a "Full backup" that includes all the os settings etc?
[Touch2 General] tlkh:
I know of something called PIM Backup or something but I never really tried it. MyPhone will backup contacts, messages and documents/pictures/video. That's good enough for me.
[Touch2 General] wahedragel:
Hello,

PIM manager is personal information manager to backup & restore your contacts, messages, calendar, etc...

It's a must to have program works very easily and smoothly on all WM versions.

For a full backup, you can use SKTools. It has many many functions among them is backup that can backup whatever you want including full system even SD Card if you like.

Best of wishes.

Please tell me someone, if i can install android on my htc diamond gsm whose internal memory got corrupted.

It is worth mentioning that its internal memory can not be retrieved, i have tried all stuffs, but all in vain.

So, please suggest me if I can run Android on my Diamond with no internal memory.:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
internal memory?

you can not run android, as far as i know directly from internal memory. there is Gen.Y ROM which will install android to the internal storage.

did you try restoring your phone with the STOCK rom for htc india

btw what happened or what did u do to make the internal memory corrupt.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TAPAN RANA:
Yes bro, my phone's internal storage of 3.7G got totally corrupted while i was partitioning my phone's internal storage for intalling Android few month back. After that i tried every thing including STOCK rom, but problem remained same and "Total Storage Card Memory: Not Installed" shows. Actually the partition table on the device was not found. I used even low level disk partitioning etc, but nothing fruitful happened.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
Did you try restoring SPL and Radio?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
This is worth a try

http://member.america.htc.com/downl... Diamond (Sprint)/Internal Storage HotFix.exe

Its actually for the sprint diamond..but at ur stage anything can be good.

Download and Copy to your device. Now run the hotfix
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TAPAN RANA:
yes i tried both SPL and radio and also tried the hotfix but :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] helicopter88:
soft reset the phone,press volume down and center button

then choose format nand and internal storage

by pressing the right volume key

You will lose all the data

but i recovered a few thimes my internal storage using this method
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TAPAN RANA:
While trying the above method quite a time i encountered "compare movinand error"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] farooq88:
well i had the same problame so i dont how exactly i fixed the memory but however u can format ur internal storge to ntfs i think thats how i did it and i must tell u it tooked me 2 days to fix it good luck
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ayyu3m:
Did you try connecting diamond to PC and going to disk management?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TAPAN RANA:
yes but there also only disappointment came out of that.

Does anyone know where I can find QuickOffice for my g2? Im running cm6.1.1 and I downloaded a pdf and when I pressed it it went to quicloffice but when I exit I can't find it on the app.drawer or anywhere ..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
You can get it from the stock deodex rom and push it to /system/app, I'm about to do that once I get home from work, so I can confirm.. I got the ezpdf from market but I think quick office seems better

Edit: I can confirm that it works by just extracting the Quickoffice.apk in stock deodex rom and push it back to cm, its usable and will also appear in the app drawer now :)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] -FuRBz-:
def. let us know noodles, this is something im looking to get as well..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] kingvaj23:
Can you give me the exact steps im a noob :/
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Gravityrat:
Same here. I have CM6.1.1 and I can see Quickoffice in Titanium but it won't let me restore it.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
Download Stock Deodex Rom v1.1 in the Development forums.. look through it, it might be towards the end or so..

You can use 7zip to extract files or windows extract .. so if you haven't gotten it, download it at download.com and install it.

Open the v1.1.zip rom, just double click on it, go to SYSTEM folder then APPS folder and search for Quickoffice.apk at the bottom and just drag it out to the desktop.

Now, either copy it through Terminal Emulator by just putting it to the root of sdcard and type

su

cp /sdcard/Quickoffice.apk /system/app

Or you can use adb, and I bet root explorer aswell as its pretty much all the same concept..

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] quierotacobell:
Before you do the "cp /sdc...." command, you have to mount system using this command: mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblk3 /system

Please correct me if it's wrong, I just copied it from another thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
Yea you do, but sometimes you don't need to.. well, some that I notice or maybe its because I'm always switching roms and forget which ones which

A shorter one would be

mount -o remount rw /system

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] geckobear:
This also works and is pretty easy

If you have a nandroid backup of your stock rom you could also restore it and extract from there. Otherwise just flash the stock rom like noodles said and extract from there
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] noodles2224:
You don't have to flash the stock rom, just download it to the computer and extract it there :)

My bad. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] shadowofzeus:
If you are running CM6.1.1 you can just type this from the tools directory of your androidsdk install in the windows command prompt.

"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb push Quickoffice.apk sdcard/"

then

"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb remount"

that will remount the system partition. Then you can type this

"c:\{android sdk path here}\tools\adb shell"

then you will see this

"#"

then you can type

"# cp sdcard/Quickoffice.apk /system/app"

[Fascinate General] cam815:
I just picked my new Fascinate yesterday and have been noticing something strange. I routinely have a very low signal with 3G and WiFi in places I've always had a great signal (or so I thought). Just to get it out of the way, I am not using any kind of case and I have already done a *228 update.

For example, tonight I put my Fascinate, a friend's Continuum, and a friend's original Droid in front of me on a table to compare their 3G signals. The Droid reported 4 bars, the Continuum 2 bars, and my flickered between 0 and 1.

At home, my "old" Omnia 2 routinely got 3-4 bars (still does even though it's deactivated) and my gf's LG Ally gets the same. However my Fascinate gets 1-2, sometimes dipping to 0.

Oddly, I have the same issue with my WiFi signal. At home my PC and laptop have a full strength signal while the phone is lucky to have a that first dot and maybe a bar. At work, I can walk within 4 feet of my Wireless-N router and still not have a full signal :confused:

Now everything *seems* to work so I'm hoping it's just an algorithmic display issue, but I have gotten a "Network Error" message a few times. For good measure, I'll probably pop into Verizon to compare my signal to the various displays there.

My question is: Is this a general Fascinate issue? Do I have a lemon? Should I just hope 2.2 is magic?

Thanks :cool:
[Fascinate General] tripacer99:
same problem here.

I'm really hoping this gets fixed with 2.2.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
I've had two fascinates now, and they've both had really poor signal strength compared to any other phone I've used or seen. Was at lunch the other day with a friend with a Droid 1, and I was getting 1 bar, he was getting 4. At home, it's consistently 1 to 2 bars at best, and I live less than a mile and a half from the nearest tower.

While I don't drop calls, I think it's pretty clear that the phone has a particularly week antennae design.

Since you say you just got the phone, I assume you haven't rooted and played with other roms yet. But in case you have, I noticed a significant drop in signal strength, both cellular and wifi, using JT's DJ05 rom. And it was more than just a display issue, since the wifi connection would repeatedly drop - even in the same room as my router. Switched to the stock DJ05 and I was back to normal (if you consider 1 to 2 bars normal).
[Fascinate General] cam815:
Just wanted to follow-up on this. After a week of comparing signals to every smartphone I ran into, I came to the conclusion I either had a lemon or the Fascinate had serious engineering issues.

I went back to my local Verizon store and compared my phone's signal strength to all the Android phones in there, including the other Fascinates. Every phone was between -73 and -86. My phone never got any better than -101. So they swapped phones for me (new one out of the box) and this one performed like all their other phones in the store. I am now enjoying my old, normal, strong signal strength and my battery is still at healthy 80% after several hours of use, even a little wifi usage.

Moral of the Story: Check your signal strength (on any phone) against the phones in the store before you leave and don't be afraid to demand a new phone if you have that sort of concrete data to back it up!

[Fascinate General] imnuts:
DI01 has a signal reporting bug that is fixed in DJ05/DL09. With DI01, the best I got was -86dBm, and the jumps did not really seem to make sense. After going to DJ05, the reported signal goes up to -50dBm or so and moves in a logical direction (go inside, signal goes down) where before it would just move randomly. It is possible that there was also bad hardware, but I'd guess that it had more to do with the crappy software Samsung provided.
[Fascinate General] cam815:
Interesting. I've not had any ambition to root/flash my Fascinate (I swear I did it weekly with my old Omnia 2) so for whatever it's worth, my experience was always with the stock DI01.
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Hopefully you won't have similar problems after we get the maintenance update, whenever that may be.

If your CC won't let you then you could go out and buy a prepaid Visa/ Mastercard and use those. If you have an AMEX then no you can not buy apps from countries outside the US
[Nexus S General] c_licious:
(Search feature is down but I don't remember seeing anything about this)

It seems like the wifi signal is really weak on my Nexus S (stock, MoDaCo rX, and Cyanogen alpha). The only time I get full bars is if stand right in front of the router. Sometimes it will drop a bar or two even when I am in the same room as the router.

I'm out of the country at the moment and unable to test it with my network at home to compare performance to the N1 or MT4G I used to have. Can I get some feedback from other users about their wifi strength? I might have to find a way to return/exchange the phone from here before the end of the remorse period if it's a problem unique to my device.
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
Actually have it listed as a known issue in the FAQ after seeing an article pop up from Androidcentral.com shortly after launch.

But, yes, I can confirm this. I'm literally sitting right next to my router and have a full three bars. If I move to the couch, it'll switch between 2-3 and if I go into my bedroom, it'll do it from 1-2. I'm in a relatively small apartment, btw lol.

Interestingly enough, while the graphic displays a weaker signal and testing from market apps does indeed show a weaker signal, I don't really notice much in the way of speed loss or instability.
[Nexus S General] coco135:
Yap, same here.

If i go to about 30 ft away, i'm done...no wifi!
[Nexus S General] c_licious:
Yea, just read your thread (slapping myself on the wrist for posting too soon). Unfortunately, it does seem to cause some instability for me as it occasionally disconnects completely due to the low signal.

Do you think this is the same for all devices and has just gone unnoticed for those who don't heavily rely on wifi. Or would an exchange be my best option at this point? Not sure how much of a hardware vs software fix this would be...
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
No issues here. The reception isn't great, but it's a phone. Small WiFi card. Maybe my expectations are too low, but I feel like 30-50 feet through the walls and/or floors of a house/apartment is pretty reasonable for a device like this. Of course, as always, the more obstacles (physical barriers and electronic interference) the signal has to go through to get to your phone, the worse the reception will be at any given distance, so there are a lot of potential influencing factors.
[Nexus S General] c_licious:
That's why it's such a handicap not being able to test it on my home network at the moment where I could compare it to my experience with my previous android devices.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
alot of routers no longer have external antennas reducing the possible range. just an idea but who knows
[Nexus S General] unremarked:
I'm not sure either way, actually. It may be something that can be fixed with a software update or tweak considering that the Nexus One(which has a noticable stronger signal) and the Nexus S seem to be pretty close in model number(BCM4329EKU86 Nexus One vs BCM4329GKUBG Nexus S).

I couldn't find a tear down that detailed the WiFi chip found in the Galaxy S devices which would be more useful for a comparison. So, I guess, my point is that it may be something a relevantly unnoticed flaw in the device itself and exchanging it might not do anything.

I guess this is our trade off for a working GPS unit? :(
[Nexus S General] xdahd2:
I dont think its based off of root, i'm on stock, and the same thing happens to me!!
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
The Nexus S uses a low power wifi chip, which is thought to be the cause of this (VERY well known) weak wifi reception issue. Google "Nexus S weak wifi".

You can verify it easily by running a wifi sniffer (e.g. "Wifi Analyzer" from the market). The NS's reception drops quickly with distance from router. This isn't the router's fault.
[Nexus S General] jspookss:
Definitely isnt the routers fault. I have two MTS, my original G1 and N1, Two Laptops a PS3 and a PSP.

This is the only device that struggles to find a signal.
[Nexus S General] gietl:
I am a former G1 guy myself, it had a very strong signal, Nexus S not so much. It is making me a bit irritated. It is an important feature sine I prefer to use wifi instead of 3G. It's much faster.
[Nexus S General] Bronk93:
I have the same issue. When I turn on wifi the status icon takes about 20 seconds to turn from grey to green and on top of that even in the same room I don't get full bars. This really blows.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frank_Murphy:
Hi Everyone,

While flashing and re-flashing numerous ROMs and kernels, I flew too close to the sun and nuked my RSA keys. I've been using AmonRA and made nandroid backups, but I have version 1.7.1 (not 1.8), which apparently doesn't back up wimax.img. I tried restoring each of my nandroid backups, but no luck. So my 4g is apparently permanently nuked, which sucks because I live in the Bay Area and 4g apparently just officially went live here. A few questions:

1) Is there any way to get the RSA keys back (longshot, I know, but I thought I'd ask anyway)?

2) Luckily, I do have Sprint's Total Equipment Protection plan, but I've never used it in a situation like this. Anyone have any experience with it in this kind of situation? Is there a deductible?

3) Before going to Sprint with this, I assume that I need to remove any trace of the device having been rooted. How do I go about doing that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Not sure what to say bro, are you 100% sure they are gone?

have you ran these? Well if not..

adb shell

wimax_mtd

Then scroll up and make sure everything says pass etc etc, nothing bad like fails and all. Also make sure the numbers add up too.

then run this after the above command is done and you checked it

ls /data/misc/wimax/

You should get numbers.tree.xml

then that means your 4G XML files is still good too. Then match those numbers with the numbers on the back of your phone under WiMAX.

Also what was your problem again with the phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frank_Murphy:
Thanks for your reply. I ran wimax_mtd and everything comes out fine, no errors or FAILs, but when I run ls /data/misc/wimax/, all I get is 'sockets'.

I hadn't tried checking it in adb, but the reason I thought my RSA keys are gone is because when I run sed -n '/PRIVATE/ {p; n; p; n; p;}' /dev/mtd/mtd0 in a terminal emulator on the phone itself, I get nothing. From the searching I've done on this forum and elsewhere, it looks like this means I'm SOL and that my only recourse is to get a new phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
I did get sockets too for somereason I think 4g has to be on bro. Like the toggle.

If you do a search on my name here you'll see I was having issues too.
[EVO 4G General] rockky:
Aren't many in agreement by now?!

If your well covered in your area and live in a warm weather environment (outside much of the time, MAYbe you get consistant Real (not app speedtest) 3-4 M speeds.

In Chicago, I've calculated I can capitalize on real 4G speeds less than 30% of time.

With less than a 'strong' 4G signal, the real world data speeds are not significantly faster than Sprints 3g network: Evdo... the slowest of the major carriers.

Indoors, if your in a strong signal area, AND near the perimeter of the building only, 4G's good... worth turning on. How often is this the case?

I have 3 different sites I've tested download speeds for years, and in GENERAL, 4G averages in the same ballpark as Evdoh 50-60% of the time during the day.

I get a kick out of 4G warranting bounty $ on asop dev projects.

The Evo is a great HTC device, but it's not because of its flagship 4G feature.

[EVO 4G General] Vipermuscle83:
I can honestly say that I agree with most of what you said. 4G is definitely just an added luxury to this phone. To be honest with you, out of the 6 months that I've owned this phone, I've probably used it a handful of times and have stuck with AOSP roms. I also agree that the EVO is just a great device in general and it definitely IS NOT the 4G that makes it special. In fact, if Sprint were to bring out a 3G superphone that didn't include 4G but was built by HTC with a cutting edge processor, I'd gladly trade in my EVO and its 4G in exchange for just a faster device. I was kinda hoping the EVO Shift would have been that phone. It is in some ways, it's the G2 in a Sprint body and is equipped with the potent Scorpion processor that can be OC'd to 2Ghz and that alone is reason enough to trade in. Add to that the phone will be cheaper than the EVO and there's your bargaining factor. If it didn't have 4G, I'd be ending my $10/month BS and have the greatest deal in Sprint's lineup! Oh well, I guess the extra $10/month is worth it just to get the nicer phones!
