[Droid X General] Zudovex:
They don't really cap at 5 gigs but they do throttle your connection, its built in to your phone to throttle your connection but there's a mod for that, with the mod i get about 2.4 mbs down .9 up. I use my phone as my only internet connection using both wireless tether and barnacle wifi tether. I figure since I pay about 100$ a month and barely use my phone for phone calls that I have every right to use as much damn data as I possibly can. So far this month I've used just over 22 gigs and I'm only 19 days in to my billing cycle.

[Droid X General] PAarcher:
What's the mod to remove the data throttle?
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
Its under Droid x android development about 11 posts down, I would post a link but I'm not sure how to do it in the xda app. It only works for gummyjar or liberty roms.

[Droid X General] Zudovex:
On the 4th page of the post haledroid (the guy that made the mod) lists the files he removes from the services.jar so you can do the same if you're using a different rom.

How do you consider using wifi tether stealing when the phone was built with it by Motorola, android built it as a free feature in the OS and VZW is the one charging for it through their app. So who is ripping who off?!

[Droid X General] tha5150:
which one is faster?
[Droid X General] frub3nz:
@Zudovex

Which app is that?
[Droid X General] Zudovex:
Both seem to have about the same speeds but wireless tether goes out sometimes when my phone sleeps and for some reason my desktop doesn't see barnacle wifi tether, maybe because barnacle uses adhoc. The odd thing is when I put my laptop on adhoc my desktop sees it fine. So maybe its just some setting I haven't found. Most the time I use barnacle with my laptop if I'm watching a movie on Netflix or hulu, but if I am already connected with my desktop I just use wireless tether.

I'll do some speed tests on both after I have my morning crap and some breakfast then post the results. Of the speed tests not my crap that is.

Hello!

I was pretty eager to install an NAND Android on my beatiful HD2, because WinMo really started to bug me, and I am still happy with my NexusHD2 Gingerbread ROM by tytung.

For homescreen customization I bought ADW.Launcher EX and ADW.Notifier out of the Market. Everything works mostly fine, my one problem right now is that:

When I receave a incomming text or mail ADW shows that little (ugly) red circle. Alongside of that, my Hardwarebuttons begins to pulse/flash. (Together with the green LED) that would be okay, If they would stop - but they don't even when i read a mail/text they keep pulsing and it seems that it stayes that way until I reboot.

As far as i can see that only happens when the phone is locked (and the screen is off), but I am not sure.

Any idea what could cause that? Do you need more information?

Anyway, thanks for your help,

laerador
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Archer:
It's a known issue with Gingerbread builds.

You need to make a phone call to stop it. You can ring a fake number (I used to just dial 0 when I was using Gingerbread), and just hang up, but that stops it... till the next time!

Its surprising, the playstation phone sounds like it could be a real success for Sony. I'm still kinda weary about the device as they may decide to drop it half a year later like they did with the x10... Also we still dont know what the battery life is gonna be like...

But I couldn't take the PS3 to wherever I go... :p

I don't like to have a lot of gadgets in my pocket, so the PlayStation Phone sounds really interesting specially for gamers who likes to have all-in-one, just like me. It's a good idea to have a phone on wich you can play in a very comfortably way, with a specialized control.

Of course, if we demand powered graphics and speed, then the PSP (or its possible successor) would be the right portable gaming device. But again, the reasons why I never bought the PSP are its size and the fact that it doesn't have a camera or any keyboard...

Between this phone and Arc, I'd choose this.

[XPERIA X10 General] Quasicoto:
Same here cept for the arc part. The xperia play and arc dont even have a dual processor.

SE is probably going to price these phones ridiculously high while they already are outdated before they even are released because it will take a looonngg time for it to be released.

If not, SE might actually have learned this time.
[XPERIA X10 General] totalundone:
The price for the Arc seems to be 500£ Play.com has their preorder up for 460£ (i apologize in advance if I'm using the wrong pound symbol, it's nowhere on my keyboard! lol)

Just to compare, the X10 had a 600£ MSRP when it came out. I think that the Euro/Pound/Dollar were all about the same number (not value as 600£ != 600$).
[XPERIA X10 General] caifanX10:
Why buying Arc or PlayStation phone AND buying PSP2? Spending 500£ in the Arc and 450£ in the PSP2... Damn :eek:

Unless the guy whom does this is rich :cool:, otherwise I wouldn't understand that.

Be logic. One option would be keeping the X10 and buying PSP2 this year... At least that's what I'd do.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoff423:
So, I installed Cog 3.04, and I can't get my contacts to sync correctly. Looking at the Cog thread (which I can't post in because I'm <10 posts) it appears that there is something with LauncherPro that is keeping contacts from syncing correctly. It seems to also be blocking my calanders from syncing as well.

Additionally, the "join" function doesn't work at all. I use my cappy to maintain my contacts from 3 email accounts, facebook, twitter, and skype, and I had my list consolidated down to just 1 entry for each person with all of their info by using "join." All that stuff went away with the flash (I have been saving to google. Going to change that to save to the phone and backup to google), and now join doesn't work at all.

Anyone have any idea? I did add a different launcher to see if I could get around the LauncerPro issues, and I'm syncing now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baimo:
3.04 looks al ittle too buggy for me. They will improve it and make it stable. But for now, I installed Cog 2.3b6. It is more stable and I needed a rom that has bluetooth working correctly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwx:
your launcher has nothing to do with how your contacts sync. you might be referring to some launcher widgets?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geoff423:
I assumed it had to do with the widgets too when I was reading the thread, but I don't use any of the LauncherPro specific widgets. Additionally, I installed the gingerbread launcher, disabled LP, and *bam* all my contacts showed up. It could be a coincidence with it taking 3 hours to sync, but that sounds wierd. I then switched back to LP, and they stayed, so that's all good now.

The join function is still borked, though it does look like all my contacts auto-joined together for the most part, so maybe it's just an new version of it and I just can't figure out how to make it work manually.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] in_dmand:
Hi all... I have tried a couple of different "vibrant gps fixes", but none of them seem to be super reliable. I was wondering what the settings in the LBS test mode (when you enter it through the dialer: *#*#3214789650#*#*) should look like...? currently the settings are as follows: under "application settings" the only thing i have changed is the operation mode to "MS assisted" and the Accuracy to 10 meters. Then under the "SUPL/CP settings" I have changed the server to the web address of "supl.google.com" and the server port to "7276". These are the only settings I have permanently changed... do I need to change them to something else?

I am currently running the Bionix-V rom from TW and from what 'im reading, nobody else is having any issues w/ the gps. In order for my gps to work fine, I have to enter the LBS test mode, delete gps data, and then "get position test" for about 10 sats to lock on. then i run samsung's gps fix app. after that it works fine, but i have to do this every time i need to use my gps and i shouldn't have to do this. any ideas? Thanks

Hi everybody! Because of network issues of Nexus S, some people, when network crashes, need to reboot their devices to make mobile net work again. (hotrebood also works)

So can anyone write an app, that can reboot only radio module, just to make it reconnect to network? Me and thousands people will be so happy if someone genius can made this! Thanks!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
The best work around I've found is to use NoBars (free app in the market) which switches your phone to airplane mode when no signal is found for a set amount of time and then checks for signal every so often (set by you). This prevents the radio from dying (the issue) and helps conserve battery when out of service areas by not constantly searching for signal. So far its been working great for me and my wife.

ADAMa Launcher Alpha - This is the NI ADAM Launcher ported for G-Tab use.... codename(ADAMa). Update.zip format. Install like you would a ROM with CM. This will install the Launcher, Video Player, and their dependencies.

It Is SLOW.... not sure if that can be improved upon or not. Also it is buggy and the status bar disappears while on the home screen.... it's there everywhere else. This is a WIP and may not get any better. BUT I know you guys wanted it. Uninstall involves deleting the two added apps in system/app. the dependency stuff will not affect your tablet if left on at all.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerClark:
Hi I have the same ZT-180 , 512k - 4Gb... Running Android 2.2

I have been able to root it, but had to use the Android SDK - ADB, and I needed to download the ARM6 version of busybox and a version of SU I found on this forum.

I've attached a zip of the files I used.

Unzip the zip files onto a USB memory stick.

Put the memory stick into the ZT-180

Make sure your ZT-180 is connected via Wifi or the network cable

On the PC, open a command prompt

CD to your android SDK tools or platform-tools folder

use the next 2 ADB commands

ADB connect (the ip address of your ZT-80):5555

ADB shell

then run each of the following commands in the ADB shell (cut and paste them into the ADB shell, and press return)

After the reboot, the ZT-180 should be rooted.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su_original

mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su_original

busybox cp /udisk/su /system/xbin/su

busybox cp /udisk/su /system/bin/su

chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

reboot

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rowlandz:
this worked for me too, many thanks

Something to watch out for which may well stall some who try this - if at some point during the process of entering the commands via ADB shell you receive a failure message 'no such file or directory' - just ignore and persist to the end. Took me some time and googling to discover this.

I dont seem to be able to get root explorer permissions even after completing these steps successfully :-( Ive tried reflashing with latest flash "10inch_DDR512MB_android+2.2" running above script -> installed root explorer but w/r button wont toggle and stays on r/o. I can install all root apps ok like busybox & others so not sure what you did or full steps you took to get root explorer w/r to work.. i also tried installing z4root 1st then above script and no go, same with androot... managed to get w/r working once before reflashing but noticed it only let me r/w on root and not in subfolders and files in those subfolders so couldnt edit my wifi config.. Any ideas?:confused:

EDIT: I reflashed unit again-> followed this manual root guide for V2 zt-180 ( cant show url cause im new here.. that sucks xda!! ) grant root access, tested in terminal that root access ok using su command (usually i would get "file link error: following process above!?) still root explorer fails to detect device is rooted even though i can install all root apps ok..lol.. I wanted to edit my wireless TX to be 20 instead of 100 to save power/improve reception(well known tweak for zt ) so then i mounted system in adb (mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system) loaded Android commander in windows -> pulled RT2870STA.dat to my windows box, mad the edit to 20 and saved -> used root explorer on zt to delete RT2870STA.dat ->pushed edited RT2870STA.dat back into zt RT2870STA folder -> remounted read only in adb (

mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system ) -> rebooted zt and tested modified wireless ok.

So I guess i can at least follow this process for any other file edits that require root access in subfolders of root drive(\).. until someone suggests an easier solution..

I would like to get a list of database names in code. I'm not looking for databases outside my application/package, just those in my /data/data/<my_package>/database folder.

I can easily locate them on the file system and open them using adb and sqlite3,

but I need to dynamically get a list of databases so that I can open and manage them in code.

I currently use a separate database to keep track of database names as they get created/deleted through my application, but I imagine there is a way to get a list of databases directly via SQL query or some sqlite library call.
