Roam control works great here...blazing on VZW EVDO. I use it all the time with the mess they have here on EVDO...50-60 kilobit if you are lucky on Sprint.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrzood:
I tried out roam control and it seems to work. The phone seems to switch and everything but cant find a signal and I just get the no signal icon. Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helchez:
I still can't get 3g speeds while using roam control. At my house I get a more consistant signal with roam control on however my download speeds never get above 50kb. When I get a sprint signal I get 600kb+ When I purchased the app I was told that it only accessed verizon towers and would only get a 1x signal because sprint doesn't have a 3g roam deal with verizon. However people are saying they are getting 3g speeds from vz towers using roam control.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art2Fly:
How do you know if you are roaming 1x or 3G, for some reason on my epic I am getting about 120kbps download on roaming with 4 bars and it says 3G?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3nny:
Download "Mobile Signal Widget" from the market and it'll tell you whether you're connected to to 1x or 3g. I'm currently roaming on 1x, but at least I'm getting (good) signal at my house!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digiblur:
The EVO and the Epic have their signal indicators for 1X show the 3G icon on the stock themes....evil Sprint! :) The signal widget will show it though as stated earlier.

I modified my PRL to have the EV channels for VZW in my area. Kinda dumb that a market next to me uses VZW 3g when on Sprint 1X voice and we can't roam on vzw 3g so I fixed it. Its a must have in my area as in several areas across town sprint 3g is useless with it timing out even with a full signal.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3nny:
We don't get charged for roaming, right?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajbent86:

I can only roam on VZW 1x while using Roam Control. I would love to be able to roam on VZW 3G.

Verizon has a 1x roaming agreement with sprint. It's impossible to roam through verizon's 3G network.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
The sprint everything plans with unlimited data are soft capped at 300MB/month. You can go over the soft cap, but continuous overage puts your contract with Sprint at risk.

Source (search "300" to find the section.)

As for overage fees/charges, I've only heard verbally that there is a $0.25/MB fee once the soft cap is exceeded. However, I have been unable to locate in the source document above where is that stated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azichek:
I use roam control as well but i cant get 3g roaming speeds either.

[G Tablet General] SilentMobius:
Hi, I'm a Vega owner but we don't have kernel source and given that the Gtab is pretty similar hardware I like to ask a question of you:

Does AlarmManager work while your device is sleeping?

The Android AlarmManager is used by most services but the most obvious and observable is the clock alarm. On any android phone I've used, if the device is sleeping then the AlarmManager will wake it up to perform the task at hand (E.G. switch on the screen and play an alarm, grab some RSS, pull tweets, etc) but from what I've seen the Vega goes straight into a kind of suspend where _nothing_ happens until you press the power button at which point the alarm fires even if it's well overdue. I'm wondering if this is correctable once we get kernel source.

So does having an alarm fire wake up your GTab device? If not are the any custom kernels that have fixed this for you?
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
I haven't really noticed in particular, but I can tell you that the G Tablet does plenty of resume/re-suspending when it's suspended, switching between L0/L1/L2 suspend modes, and so on. You can see all that activity from the dmesg output after an extended suspend. I've never tried the clock alarm, so not sure specifically if that can interrupt suspend state, but I wouldn't be shocked.

There is a ton of stuff in the Tegra2 kernel code regarding suspend/resume, so it's definitely possible that when you get the source code for the Vega kernel you can polish up the way it handles suspend/resume. We've had good luck merging up more recent changes from NVidia's mainline to fix some of the original kernel bugs regarding suspend/resume behavior (specifically low voltage states sticking the CPU at low clock speed after prolonged suspend).
[G Tablet General] SilentMobius:
Thanks rcgabriel, my worry is that people are currently blaming the lack of wifi during sleep on the failure of things like twitter/rss/etc not updating while the screen is off when in actual fact the AlarmManager events aren't even waking up the unit at all.

Could someone with a Gtab perhaps test if the alarm wakes up their device while it's asleep when they have a spare moment?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

I didn't know you could even do that (no Android phone here) :).

My Gtab is stock TNT 3452, and I:

- Set an alarm for 11:25AM (it was 11:21AM)

- Pressed power

- Selected Sleep

- Screen went black

- At 11:25AM, the tablet started buzzing - Screen came on with the time and two buttons, Snooze and Dismiss.

Pretty cool!

I haven't tried the above just letting the tablet go to sleep on its own though.

Also, I can set the alarm to sound, but how do you do those other things like checking RSS, etc.? Is that dependent on an app to do that?

Jim
[G Tablet General] bboyle:
I have tried Juice Defender to accomplish this. Juice allows me to set the interval at which the tablet should wake, turn on the wifi, allow things like email to be polled then return to sleep. So far I cannot say if it is working or not working.

Before Juice my phone would buzz to say I had email at say 3 am, but the Gtab wouldnt get it until I woke it up hours later. My assumption was that the wifi was turned off when the tablet entered sleep and didnt turn on until I pushed the power button.

Well, after fixing my wifi at home I can say that Juice will allow email polling after the tablet has gone to sleep. this morning when I woke my tab up there were a three emails that arrived at 3 to 5 am in the inbox.
[G Tablet General] dony71:
i have juice defender but it seems it still cannot prevent wifi going to sleep even though i trigger on certain application and data transmission
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
Hi,

please excuse my stupid question - I'm a newbie and English is not my first language:

What exactly does the term "radio" refer to? :o I only know it as in "listening to a radio station". Is that it or does the term actually refer to the cell phone signals?

I guess the answer to the first question also helps with the remaining questions I have:

There are tons of threads about flashing of the radio (like: "[Resources] Rhodium GSM Radio Collection"), but what do they actually do?

Which radio version should I get (I'm from Germany using O2)? The above mentioned thread says I need to look up the region in the wiki, but the wiki leads back to that exact same thread. :confused:

Thanks in advance, Google just gave me a bunch of sites about streaming radio to my phone, but somehow I don't think that is the whole story. :D

Edit: I did some more research and then I googled for GSM, I got on to the right track. So this is definitely not about listening to my favorite station on better quality. :o

However, I still wonder why to upgrade and if so, which version... :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] redpoint73:
The cell phone "radio" refers to both the hardware and the software used to send/receive signals over the cell network. GPS also uses the same radio. When talking about flashing the radio, the software component of this is being referred to. Flashing a different radio can (possibly) improve cell reception, as well as battery life (phone constantly trying to connect will drain the battery, flashing a new radio can help alleviate this).

What radio is "best" if often geographically dependent. Also, the newer radios tend to work better than older ones, but that's not always the case. Perhaps somebody in Germany can provide guidance on this radio works the best in your area.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Markstar:
I see, thank you! :)

So since I do want to make the best use of the GPS (hopefully with TomTom), this seems to be a rather important issue then. :p

Hi,

Do the Martins Field screen protectors cover the entire face of the DHD, including the bottom section and around the screen?

Cheers
[Desire HD Accessories] tezzums:
I can confirm that the Martin Fields Overlay Plus screen protector covers the entire front surface of the screen of the DHD, including the capacitive buttons and htc logo. It also comes with a camera lens protector.

Their official website shows the size and shape of both.

Hope this helps you!

although it comes with the camera lens protector , i personally feel that martin field protector quality is a joke ... overprice and weak... screen coating like peel off even when i'm not scratching on any rough surface..

Has anyone experienced this - and even better have a solution?

running stock 2.29.405.2 for a few weeks now, but all of a sudden apps have dissapeared that are installed on the SD card.

also i cant move any apps (i know not all apps allow) to the SD card as a 'failed to move application' notice appears.

any ideas peeps?
[Desire General] friedkimchi:
SD card

I would do this.

1)Check your SD card. Can you access your sd card? Could be a corrupted card.

2)Take out your sd card and put it back in.

3)Power off phone and restart. Wait for a while, see if your apps come back.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Isn't 2.29.405.5 out now from OTA?

also I agree - make sure you can access the SD and reboot
[Desire General] leroy:
Tried all of these - With a different SD card i can move the apps. Does that sound like a corrupt card, and if so is there anything i can do?

It seems to have been pulled (I waited until I had my goldcard available) and is not available now. Is there a link to do it manually?
[Desire General] mug318ca:
I am going through the same thing. I determined I had a corrupt card. I will be getting a new card today and reinstalling all of my apps that were installed on the corrupt card.
[Desire General] remmyhi:
Had the same issue. Noticed that the .android-secure folder on SD is read only. Changed to read/write in root explorer, rebooted and apps are back.
[Desire General] leroy:
no joy with that, but thanks anyway.

i might look at deleting that folder and starting again - it will give me an excuse to get rid of all the crap i have anyway.

But first i might try recovery - i know that you cannot see the content of the .android_secure for security reasons
[Desire General] FishyDave:
I just recovered from the same problem (tried the tips here, but they didn't work in my case.) I thought I'd add the solution that eventually worked for me, just in case it's of any help to anyone else.

Remove SD card from phone and insert in a Windows PC

Run CHKDSK /F from the command prompt, just in case there are any file errors (there were none in my case.)

Rename the .android-secure folder to something else (it really doesn't matter what you call it.)

Eject the card and put it back in the phone, allow the phone to start up and initialise the SD card. It will create a new .android-secure folder. (I tried creating the folder on the PC, but that didn't work. The phone needs to create it for itself.)

Card back in the PC, and cut and paste the files from the folder that you previously renamed into the new .android-secure folder.

Card back in the phone, and if your problem was the same as mine, your apps are back.

You might also be able to do this with the card in situ via the USB cable. I haven't tried it.

Out of interest, this happened to me after nothing more serious than a dead battery. The phone was at 90%+ charge when I went to bed last night, but dead this morning. I can only assume that I left a power hungry app running by accident.
[Desire General] leroy:
Thanks for the info. i had already resolved mine by renaming the folder to delete it. luckily i had most apps backed up so it didnt take long to go back in.

I have been trying to think what caused it, and you reminded me that my battery dies a couple of days ago, so was probably this that caused it also.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] software_samurai:
I'm on Eclair (2.1), rooted, got the unlock code for my phone. But since I didn't have another network sim card at the time, I tried the "re-lock" method to unlock. Seemed to work at the time. (Didn't know that this method just adds another "accepted" sim card to the internal list.)

Just got another carrier's sim card, and when I put it in and booted, it did not ask for the unlock code. Voice calls work, but the "Network Lock" is still "ON". I've tried "re-locking" to several other MCC/MNC codes, but I never get the unlock prompt.

Does anyone know how I can force my phone to ask for the unlock code?

Or, how do I turn the "Network Lock" off?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Unlock

Use http://www.communityhosting.net/sgsunlock/

You don't need to use a different sim.. The Network Lock becomes OFF for any carrier.. After unlocking, check by *#7465625#.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] software_samurai:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Hi fellas,

i must admit that i'm really impressed by the energy that has been put into the BOINC project, to hunt for the Motorola private certs to crack the RSA key inside OMAP3430.

From the M-shield white paper:

...
For example, secure on-chip keys (E-Fuse) are OEM-specific, one-time-programmable
keys accessible only from inside the secure environment for authentication and encryption.
...

More specific information here:

https://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/EFuse

What would happen, if we slip into the role of the OEM's?

To be more precisely what happens, if...

a) we disable VFUSE power domain (VPP rated @ 2.4V/50mA, connected to APE_VPP and DBB_VPP)?

b) we use eFuse programming algorithm in mbmloader to blow additional eFuse and enter engineering mode?

(what is the hash for engineering mode?)

c) we use read routines within mbmloader to read eFuse values?

d) we blow all remaining efuse for the 160-bit hash in the user programmable area (factory default on milestone = 1d3fb662 794d8c70 fb57b4cb 492e27f6 6f152e4f)?

(result would be a OEM value of 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF)

Perhaps we'll never know... ;)

Here's what i think:

a) Barely no effect, apart from preventing mbmloader to blow another e-fuse.

b) Maybe the whole mbmloader code could only be accessed from within security domain, not sure if a debugger would work here.

c) Same as above. There had to be a proof of concept that mbmloader routines could be executed.

d) See b) and c). We need the correct offset, of course.

Any comments welcome.

IMHO there might be a better chance to crack the security on Milestone, if the interest would be focussed on mbmloader disassembly and further investigation on JTAG access for debugging the platform more intensely.

If you're a technical geek, you might have a look over here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849632

Experts are very welcome!!!!

P.S.: If nothing will ever work out, there's something slightly off-topic we might think about ...

Someone should contact Mototola to follow a new marketing strategy... called: ICS (Individual Customer Support).

Customers could upload their custom kernels to Motorola and get them signed by beautiful private key!

We could also push our kernel source to Motorola and as a side effect they would fix bugs and finish firmware updates much earlier :p.

TBC...

EDIT: Corrected some parts...

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TheSSJ:
Always nice to read your posts :) But there is one error I think:

I think it is a 1024Bit key or am I wrong?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Thanks for your reply!

Not 100% sure about all this.

In fact i must admit that i'm not a cryptographic expert, but after reading all these hardware manuals and references, this is what i understand:

The hash key stored in the eFuse farm seems to be 160 Bit SHA-1 and uses 1024Bit certification.

Seems that this basically is used to verify mbmloader security.

Maybe this is bull****, so who ever got some more details please join discussion!

I really like to know at which offset the key is stored :confused:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] djefkbefke:
So if I get this right, you want to disassemble a Milestone and mess with the circuit? :D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Yeah correct, first this would be hardware stuff to get JTAG to work.

It's not strictly me reaching this, in fact this addresses to a community!

See my JTAG post, there's anything you need to trace the signals ;)

So if you got a broken device go for it!

Afterwards some cracks might use a JTAG debugger (e.g. OpenOCD) to fiddle with the bootcode: Set breakpoints, trace conditional branches, even tweak some lines of code.

The hope is that something will open another door to get access to certain memory areas, especially eFuse location would be interesting :p

There was someone on here a month or so ago that had a device without a working radio. There are probably others like him. If we manged to get someone willing to donate their non-working device, would you be willing to try your jtag on it.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
additional info....

Hi,

i gathered some more information about how things work out:

- SHA1 sum of the first (root) key in the CertPK is stored in eFuse array inside SoC, accessible through PKEY 0..4 registers

- the value for the SHA1 sum has a length of 160 bits

- theoretically eFuse bits that are now zero could be blown by using Secure Service, to modify hash value

- Milestone:	1d3fb662 794d8c70 fb57b4cb 492e27f6 6f152e4f

Droid:	75ed7020 641333dd 7bc3aecb 9857683c 2422efe1

- BootRom loads root key in SecureRAM and uses Secure Service, from secure part of BootROM to verify integrity/signature

This secure part of BootRom is not accessible from non secure world.

- All main keys are stored in CertPK/SecureRAM

- In theory we could break the chain of trust with:

a) find rsa keypair where the public key's sha1sum matches the existing SHA1 sum in PKEY 0..4 registers (hash_collision)

b) modify the efuse setup with Secure Service function and alter PKEY 0..4 registers to match a given key pair (this might be a very complicated issue)

Please correct me if i'm wrong :D

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] poundesville:
Hi,

I used to have facebook push notification on my Galaxy S.

However, since around 1.5 weeks back - I rarely get this notification.

Facebook notification refresh setting is already set to every 30 minutes (but why is this necessary? Since it should be a "pushed" notification, isn't it?)

I've done plenty of things on the phone in the past 2 weeks (one of them is factory wipe); so I can't put my finger on when is the last time the push notification work.

Anyone got any clue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] _dsk_:
Actually i noticed i havent been getting notifications either.

On 2.2.1 JPY.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] splish2010:
I don't think I've ever had the facility to have the notifcations pushed. It probably works out in your best interests as it will probably save you more battery life and data in the long run
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] poundesville:
I think the opposite actually.

If it's not "pushed", then the apps in your phone will try to connect at certain interval to check if there's latest records.

If my understand is correct, in the past, facebook application for android, works by using the 'refresh interval'. But in Dec, the "pushed notification" is added into this apps

resource: cnet.com/8301-19736_1-20025786-251.html

* sorry, I can't create a URL link in my post due to low post count

I used 2.2.1 and had pushed notification. My guess is that this happen only in Jan, and probably after I did the X'mas version Darky's ROM.

Do you guys think this pushed notification works based on your phone "product code" ? Flashing ROM is known to change your Product CODE.. (I think mine was changed to XOR, XEE, XSO before.. )
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] splish2010:
Yeah the app itself has settings for regular updates but I hadn't noticed a push setting previously. Can only assume FB pulled it for some reason because the ROM's themselves don't really touch any third party .apks.
