[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
And higher spectrum means better building penetration, right?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well its not impossible for a device to support both TD-LTE and FD-LTE on a single chipset..but we would then have to buy international phones..cause knowing carriers they either won't include those bands or lock them :/

700mhz is better building penetration over 2.5ghz..BUT how TD-LTE is allows carriers to use more spectrum...right now AT&T and Verizon plan to run it in 20mhz worth of spectrum each..realistically speaking that would constrain quantity of users/amount of data...(hence the tiered data)

Sprint right now though is running wimax in 10mhz of spectrum though..and could run it in 30mhz if they please..

So realistically speaking its easier to run TD-LTE as more spectrum is available in comparison to FD-LTE running at the limited 700mhz spectrum..while 700mhz spectrum though will offer betetr building penetration/signal
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
So its basically the 3g story again lol sprint has the better and same constant speeds no matter the load, but the signal won't be as strong lol. I can deal with that :D

And buyingunlocked international phones isn't bad...my friend only uses unlocked ones and they always have extra features compared to a branded one... and all he would have to do to activate it was slide his sim card in it. I hate how att/tmo users can effectively use any phone they want...I want this freedom with sprint/verizon :(
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
Sprint's LTE will act like the current Wimax implementation because it'll be running at 2.5ghz. We all know how spotty it is, especially when indoors.

Verizon and AT&T, at 700mhz will act their current 3G service because it's very close to 800mhz. They'll probably have an easier time getting better coverage because they know the 800mhz frequency.

Personally, I'd rather be at 700mhz for LTE, at 2.5ghz, you lose to much coverage and I'm sure Verizon already has the limited bandwidth figure out. If they didn't they could be throwing billions of dollars down the tube.

I can't wait for Verizon handsets to hit the market. My Sprint contract just expired so I'm looking to jump ship.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Well yes and no..thing is most international phones dont have the AT&T 3g band and don't have AWS (most common t-mobile 3g band) on same band as T-Mobile

As I said its spotty because right now..

1) sprint is using only 10mhz of spectrum...

2) They are doing minimum deployments..aka the need mroe towers but being cheap...

um..what?!?!

Yes its called Tiered Data plans...not fun...
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Anyway, wouldn't the first crop of Verizon LTE phones still rely on 1x for voice and 3G EVDO/LTE for data?

So basically we're going to have a scenario where a Verizon LTE phone would be something like this CDMA 2000 1x/1900mhz EVDO/700mhz LTE,

and

an ATT LTE phone might be like Quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS 1900 (HSPA?)/700mhz LTE?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
My 2 cents vzw & att are double what we pay for a premium phone service on sprint and not unlimited anything also have bad coverage. They nickel & dime the crap out of you on top of it. Also wimax has voice calling capabilities not just data. Lte for some reason can only do data. So maybe some new features with voice calling with wimax.

Viper Rom
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Wimax for voice calling? I find that scary. In its current iteration its flaky enough just for data. I shudder to think how crappy voice calling would be on it. They seriously need to build it out a ton more. I walk in my house signal disappears....not encouraging.
[Epic 4G General] abmcbride85:
At least you are lucky enough to have coverage...
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
Wimax doesnt do voice.....on the other hand, att and tmo 3g is voice/data
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes, the specifications for Voice over LTE have not been finished yet.

Sprint is working on making a seamless radio..aka unlike now where you need to enable/disable 4g it would work in a way that even if 4g is disconnected your session would not be interrupted...same for calls..
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
LTE doesn't require a SIM card...Verizon is CDMA
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
That won't be worth squat because of battery drain on WiMax. With the Wimax radio active, the battery drains faster then I can say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
yes, but any of verizon's LTE capable devices will have a sim card.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
sigh..the reason why wimax drains so much energy is because of the spotty connection and because its running 1x and wimax at same time..with a seamless connection it will also improve battery life of both 4g and 3g...
[Epic 4G General] Jedi2155:
Academic question here, but how does having less spectrum have an effect on the overall signal quality? Or are you merely referring to the number of potential simultaneous signals running under the same spectrum?

I would assume have the same power output over a smaller frequency band would result in a higher SNR.
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
You're right!! 10mhz of spectrum has nothing to do with signal strength! Sprint's spotty coverage is due to them being on 2.5ghz and it's crappy building penetration and short distance. From the looks of it, it looks like Sprint/Clearwire would need 3 times as many towers to get the same coverage as Verizon will need at 700mhz. Cost effective?? No way!! I just don't see Sprint, and definitely not Clearwire, being able to raise that kind of cash to bring online or to even maintain them. I think 2.5ghz will be good for backhaul purposes, but in the mobile world.... It's too high of a frequency with current technology.

Assuming Sprint won't get any new spectrum in the lower frequencies, I think their best bet would be to convert their current CDMA frequencies to LTE. But that would cause a whole new set of problems...
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Err, Verizon's current crop of LTE USB modem devices use SIM cards, and I suspect their LTE phones might be dual mode, EVDO/LTE. Check that statement again.

Sprint and VZW being CDMA carriers have had and currently have dual mode CDMA/GSM phones. Nothing new.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
I wouldn't think gsm "requires" a sim card either, but that's how it works. Or at least how gsm carriers chose to operate. If you are going to try to convince me that a sim card couldn't be spoofed or implanted on a chip, id definitely have to argue with you...
[Android Apps and Games] ClarusWidgets:
Hello. We're the developers behind Clarus Signal (and Clarus Battery). We had originally released the app three weeks ago. Since then, due to a hard disk failure, we've had to re-write the app and re-release (we lost the keystore used to sign the app too).

We're re-releasing the app with the original app name but a different package name (Clarus.Signal.rr). This is a significant re-write of our original code.

What is it?

Clarus Signal is minimal, transparent widget that displays signal strength, data network connectivity. Line colors change based on signal strength & connection speed.

Features:

- Background colors/alpha can be changed

- Text colors can be changed

- Launch apps from the widget

- 1x1 and 2x1 widgets

- Color themes for light and dark backgrounds

- Signal in dBm/asu

Known Issues:

- Multiple widgets of the same size can't be added as of now. This will be fixed in a subsequent release

The app can be found in the market by searching for "Clarus Signal" or "pname:Clarus.Signal.rr". (I can't post external links as a new user).

The original app has been renamed to "Clarus Signal - OLD".

Others:

Clarus Signal and Clarus Battery have been designed to complement each other (screenshot).

Thank you.

Best.
[Android Apps and Games] britoso:
Looks good, heres the appbrain link:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/clarus-battery/Clarus.Battery.rr

I only get the charge% and temp, how do I get all four in the widget like your screenshot?
[Android Apps and Games] ClarusWidgets:
Charge and Temp come from Clarus Battery. Signal and Data come from Clarus Signal. The AppBrain link is here. You can also find it in the market by searching for "Clarus Signal". Note the "Clarus Signal - OLD" is an older version and should not be installed.

Finally, we will merge both widgets at some point in the future.

Sorry for the confusion.

Best.
[Wildfire Android Development] dhar9417:
Hey,

I rooted my htc wildfire with unrevoked and worked fine, i got the official 2.2 update come in and i went to install it but i couldnt cos it was rooted , so i flashed my phone with 2 Rom's but they upgraded my bootloader so i cant flash my phone any lower can anyone help me?

Thanks in advanced

Dhar9417
[Wildfire Android Development] Forceflow:
You cannot downgrade your bootloader. I think you're stuck until someone finds a way to root the new HBOOT.
[Wildfire Android Development] dhar9417:
I just want to go back to the stock android 2.1 , then update it to 2.2 ofiicially without rooting
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
The 'custom ROM' you flashed is actually official FroYo. There would be no difference even if you downgraded and got official FroYo. (Its not possible yet as stated above anyway, but, just letting you know)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Just wondering if Google will try again to have this new Nexus out on all 4 major carriers? That would be perfect and bring some much needed competition in the market. If your favorite phone is available on all carriers then you just chosse the best service and price. I think Apple should that too with their iPhones. Would force carriers to be better priced.

But specifically wondering if Sprint will get the Nexus-S soon? I dumped my EVO for the N-S and love the phone just not thrilled with T-Mobile spotty service and practically no service inside my house or other buildings. Where as the EVO worked non stop perfect inside anywhere even basements.

Thank you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slateac:
Very unlikely since the whole "Nexus" brand was to deliver a device that's unlocked, and supports international bands, therefore it's GSM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unremarked:
It's unlikely, but I have my fingers crossed!

One of the reasons I think Google went with Samsung with this Nexus is because HTC failed to deliver on their main goal for the Nexus One: to create a carrier-ambiguous device that can be used on any carrier(obviously a CDMA version on CDMA network, and GSM on GSM network blahblahbalh).

Samsung proved that they had that ability to bring their Galaxy S lineup to each major carrier.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I'd love a Nexus S type device on Verizon.

Do you think Google blamed HTC for not delivering a CDMA phone? I always thought HTC just made the phone, and Google worried about getting it "out there." I thought Verizon just wasn't interested, at the time, in a phone that Verizon didn't control the software on; that's always been a major complaint with VZW by geeks (like me) who want to control what's on their phone and what's not.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A_Flying_Fox:
On sprint I have the ns with a keyboard, but sprint is so slow delivering updates compared to google that we're all still waiting for 2.2, let alone 2.3 :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
Yeah, that's the allure of the actual NS over any of the Galaxy S phones (Epic, Vibrant, i9000, Fascinate, Captivate), the direct AOSP first and fast from Google, and written specifically to that hardware.

The build quality and "feel" of my NS is far superior to my i9000, not that it's bad in the other devices, but they really got it right with the NS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:
Not if you're on a rooted Epic we're not ;)

[Windows Mobile Themes] 1milenia:
ive just install it and i get the second screen which is pink and says welcome ,

then it freezes
[Windows Mobile Themes] its_me_leon:
Same for me......:(
[Windows Mobile Themes] steff195:
Dear Marco, I know about your theme since awhile now, since you had it on your site. I think I'm not wrong, because I remember this theme perfectly. As somebody wrote before me, your theme reproduces the best the Windows 7 OS. And I'm a huge fan of this 7 look, currently I'm using another WAD2 theme by Koma (modified by me)... I even customized my roms with this 7 look. :D

But, the problem (for me) is, that since then I've been waiting for a WQVGA version, since I own a Omnia 1 phone. So, are you willing to do such a version? I'm willing to donate a few beers for this purpose. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
yep same thing
[Windows Mobile Themes] hugulugu:
i have install it on my topaz (pure) and works very well!!!

is there any chance to do the icons (startmenu, battery, opera, etc) more finger friendly? or at least more bigger?

thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] King Royalty:
Im trying to run on my HD2 and I get a pink screen and nothing more, any way to fix?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Viper89:
@ Marco-23 does your theme require a certain version of WAD to get this to work? I am using 2.1B and when I scan for ur theme it dosen't show up. The people who have this working can you list your version of WAD :).
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1milenia:
this pink screen existed on his previos build ...i think what its doing is trying to process the command ...not enough memory maybe

i can get it to work and sometimes the pink screen comes

what i do is reinstall
[Windows Mobile Themes] yayyay:
I managed to get it working on my Touch Pro (Raph800).

For everyone getting the pink screens, are you able to boot Wisbar Advanced Desktop (WAD) or not?

It took me some time to get the configuration right and get it to boot, but I don't remember seeing any pink screens.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Corwen:
Yeah I can boot WAD

I get to the second welcome screen, sometimes it's pink, sometimes its the sunset lake picture. It never gets past that though.

I tried a reinstall and it did nothing

I have wisbar advance running at the same time, might be the problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] yayyay:
sorry did a double post.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yayyay:
Are you installing WAD on device or sdcard? I have it installed on my device and I never had the problems you listed.

I think I can help you with this. Instead of going into WAD settings and searching for the theme- which doesn't, go to the the Vga.zip or Wvga.zip, whichever one you downloaded from the first post and unzip in onto your sd card. from there you need to double tap on the two files in the folder, marcos windows 7 landscape and portrait.

After you tap on the files it will ask you where you want to put the files. install them in program files/lakeridge/WAD/themes.

From here you can now go into WAD themes and you should see the two marcos windows 7 files there, both landscape and portrait. Set these files as the themes and it should work.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Viper89:
Thanks so much yayyay . Marco this theme is sweet maybe in your next release you can make the icons bigger for WVGA ;).
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1milenia:
ive got it to work ...its sweet but i need speed on my tp2 do you reccomend any driver for processsing faster...
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1milenia:
how do you get docoments to launch
[Windows Mobile Themes] foxzhao:
well,it awesome,but i think i will go on using htc sense...it's more convenient...
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1milenia:
how do you get docoments to launch

i went into auther mode
[Windows Mobile Themes] RxenDrav:
congrats anyway! nice theme!:D

Good Job. unfortunately sometimes its freezes on my tp2. I like to use this theme than htc sense. maybe hoping for next release?
[Windows Mobile Themes] 1milenia:
i fixed my freezing by just having the main page come up

[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Anyone having the sun/moon issue?

BlaY0 has solved the issue, it is in his latest B0.6 ROM!

If you're running another ROM, you can extract common_m_weather01.png and common_m_weather33.png from com.htc.resources.apk in that ROM and copy it to your ROM, that should do the trick!

Thanks BlaY0!
[Legend General] grahamkdt:
Very annoying...

I've noticed that and it's bloody annoying. It's only happened since the FOTA upgrade to 2.2 - my guess is HTC have dropped a bollock here somewhere? Not heard of a fix. May be if enough people moan to HTC, we might see a fix in a future update?!
[Legend General] TheGrammarFreak:
I think they assume we all live on Tatooine ;)
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
That would explain a lot :D

But I'm not sure if it has two moons as well...
[Legend General] squire23:
+1 here as well
[Legend General] PandaVoyageur:
Aah so my eyes are still fine, and there is a bug here indeed :)

Too bad HTC probably won't bother for another Legend update, so we'll have to learn to live with 2 moons (and 2 suns!)
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Anyone knows where the animation comes from? With what I've seen around sense I don't believe it is rendered...It has to be a set of pngs or something.... I just can't find it :(
[Legend General] BlaY0:
com.htc.resources.apk
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Well I found some .qtc files in raw folder, but they are identic to those in Eclair, but this error wasn't there, so it's something else I guess...

I'm gonna try and decompile both versions and compare them, but since I haven't found a way to build yet, I'm gonna need some help :)
[Legend General] BlaY0:
There are 3 different suns in res/drawable-mdpi.

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Those are exactly the same...The only difference I have found in version from Froyo and from Eclair is that there are some extra sun/glare png's in drawable:

lens_flare.png

lens_flare_white.png

lens_flare2.png

all three png's are in both versions there with gl_ prefix.

But that wouldn't explain why the sun is smaller, not if it was defined elsewhere...
[Legend General] BlaY0:
OK, so I guess there is a reference to a wrong sun file in some xml...
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
As I've found no xml managing the anim, I think the animation is managed bu those qtc files. I'm gonna have a look at the xml's defining the ID's as there might be something wrong there...is it possible the anim runs by ID's rather than filenames?

Sent from my HTC Legend
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
OK, as I am not sure how all that works, I thought some XML file waas pointing on a wrong ID 0x0202048c instead of 0x020203f7... To make sure I replaced the "wrong" png's by good png's - smaller by those larger, but it still does not work... plus it miss-aligned images in the forecast part of the Weather Widget...

It must be a width/length definition issue then...but I can't find it anywhere...
[Legend General] whitetigerdk:
Just to clear.. when I used Eclair there was the same "bug". Probably why you don't see any difference from 2.1 files to the once in 2.2 .. my guess would be to take screenshot of phone and copy size of sun and replace the smaller sun in the "animations" ??
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Well, that's exactly what I tried to do...nothing...

When I used Eclair (Stock, rooted) there was no such bug...I'm comparing my files now with that version. But there's really nothing to compare as I haven't been able to decompile the widget apk succesfully because I need to use two framework files with apktool and I don't know how to do that...
[Legend General] Kot_Ik:
There is faq on apktool official site, where is explain how to install frameworks, may be it will help you...
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
I saw that, but I found no usefull information as to how to solve my problem... I'll keep trying though, It bugs me that I can't solve it! Any help would be greatly appreciated guys! really :D I don't need to be the one to solve it, I just want it fixed :mad:
[Legend General] BlaY0:
I have an idea. Decompile com.htc.resources.apk then mark every sun png you find with numbers in top right corner. Compile back and push to your phone's system and test to see which is which...
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Nice one! I did that, it looks like both suns are the common_m_weather_01.png in drawable-mdpi folder, so are those moons - common_m_weather_33.png

they must be resized in some XML file then, but the only one I can find it in is public.xml, also if searching by ID 0x020203da

It must be in those damn .qtc files...
[Legend General] BlaY0:
OK peepz, I managed to solve this issue ;)
[Legend General] ananthm2k5:
Excellent ! now tell us how :)

Better yet tell HTC ;)
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
BlaY0 actually enlarged the picture that pops over the original when the animation shows, but those two pictures that overlay are in fact one png....

My guess is he couldn't find where the poping-up picture is resized, so he resized the original picture to those proportions as well...

Am I right BlaY0? :)
[Legend General] BlaY0:
Actually It wasn't that easy... trivial yes, but not easy. And I didn't enlarge that png but actually shrunk it ;)

I thought if I need to align those two suns, first I need to know where png's real boundaries are. So I marked the corners red, recompiled com.htc.resources.apk and made a screenshot... and guess what, it was sunny day :) Then I measured actual pixels of displacement on that screenshot so I was able to adjust that png later in the process.

And yes, I almost forgot to mention that I didn't reboot in the process... not even once. If I needed to reboot for every adjustment I made, I'd be doing this for two days straight not two hours...
