[Optimus One, P500, V General] Tomb77:
Is there a rom that you would say can be a daily driver (stable & functionable) and has better battery life or a kernal that you can flash with it for better battery life than the phones stock rom?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] johnqevil:
I see what you mean now. I'd recommend this setup:

void Delta + mik_os debugged kernel

void: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887281

kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=929941

Between these two, my phone is squeaky clean (no bloat), fast, and the battery life has improved about 15%.
[Focus General] Fuzzy John:
I received the Samsung Focus 2 weeks ago today. After I post this I will be heading over to Amazon Wireless to make return arrangements.

I come from a Windows Mobile (Tilt 2) and I don't think I am yet ready to transition to this type of phone. I depend too much on Pocket Informant and I couldn't find any app to replace that. Actually this is not really the reason I gave up. This is the reason that kept me on the fence.

At my work I have a very poor 3G signal indoors. The signal fluctuates between 2 bars to no signal indication and sometimes switching to Edge. With the Tilt 2 I turn off 3G and that keeps the phone happy. Several times I found the Focus showing no signal (small crossed out circle at the top left). Even after I went to an area with good 3G signal the Focus did not change from its no signal status. I had to actually turn it off and back on (soft reset, I guess) to get a strong 3G signal.

Searching on Google for means to turn 3G off in the Focus showed that only a few months ago there was such an option Settings | Cellular. Apparently now it is removed.

With 3G trying desperately to hang in there instead of just giving up and letting Edge take over, this phone is useless to me 8 to 12 hours a day. The Tilt 2 had a similar issue before I tweaked it to give me the band switch. However the Tilt 2 did not get stuck in the no signal state. I wish AT&T did not remove this from settings.

So long, Focus.
[Focus General] FishFaceMcGee:
Um... there's totally still an option called Cellular in Settings. Whatever, though. If you don't enjoy the phone, there's no reason for you to keep it. However, there's equally no reason for you to share this information with us, since a large part of your issue is born of ignorance of the OS (not finding a setting that is clearly there) and your lack of enjoyment of the phone should have no effect on anyone who owns one.
[Focus General] Fuzzy John:
Yes, the Cellular option is still there, in Settings. However, unlike screen shots or pictures I saw during my search (see this sample), I do not have the option to turn off 3G.

If your phone has it, good for you. Mine does not. Hardly a reason to call me ignorant for this though.
[Focus General] Tempest790:
That's strange. My Focus appears to have better reception than my Tilt 2.

Actually, the 3G only setting is under the diagnostic menu I believe. The should have a thread in this forum on it.

Update

I checked and its under the test menu

This may help you.
[Focus General] Fuzzy John:
For me, side by side, the 2 phones had a similar reception. The Tilt 2 got an extra bar or 2 when I forced it to Edge. However, the Tilt 2 did not get stuck with the no signal indication.

While at this moment I do not have the phone with me, I just looked in the PDF I downloaded from that other thread (the PDF shows [2] Band Selection) and I remember that I was in that area and when I tried to make a change I got a message saying something about the selection or option being restricted. Sorry, but I do not remember the exact words. I guess I could try again later tonight after I get home. Thank you.
[Focus General] Fuzzy John:
When I select "[2] Band Selection" the exact message is:

"RAT Selection option is restricted".
[Focus General] happycollin26:
Yeah, that's what I got. I also got my phone from freaking Amazon.com and didn't work right. Had do alittle talking around but they me exchange it at the Att Wireless Store. Have you actually tried any other Samsung Focus Phones to see if its just the phone itself?
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
I got mine from att store, I'm using the org diagnostic app version, I get same error message.
[Focus General] happycollin26:
I would switch phones then. The phone has to be unlocked to switch bands, even turning off 3G. That's stupid, I know. I have a Dell Venue Pro sitting here that can switch bands but that phone is VERY buggy.
[Focus General] GrayWolf:
FWIW: 3G = "Data Connection" on the Focus' settings menu. As far as I know, 3G has nothing to do with voice calls. I suspect that the name of that switch was changed with an eye toward future data options on cell phones. I hope that helps. (Even the person who posted that picture notes that they modified the label to be "Cellular Data". You can see that in the comments area of the image/post that you listed. :) )
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
GrayWolf is correct

These are GSM phone and voice only works on 2G.. data on 3G and Edge if necessary. that is why you can talk and use the internet at the same time. You turning 3G off does nothing for your call reception what so ever. When you turn off the Celluar data you turn off both 3G and edge. Also I believe the bars are only for the voice service.
[Focus General] Anchorite:
This might very well be correct, however on my Tilt 2 I have to turn off 3g in order to get full voice bars back in the location where my room is in my house. It doesn't seem to make any sense; why would the phone's 3g connection interfere w/ the 2g voice? Yet it seems like this is the case.
[Focus General] Fuzzy John:
Sorry. I may have used the wrong terms. After all I admit I am not really familiar with all the terminology. I am more like a user. Anyway, on my Tilt 2 phone I have a switch which turn off 3G. This puts the phone in Edge mode. Gives me a lot better reception in areas where the 3G signal is flaky. True, I cannot talk and do data at the same time. Also true that my data rate is slower. But I can receive and make calls while I am in that area.
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Nope. Both voice and data work on 3G if it is available. You can tell this by the fact that once your phone is on 3G, you will not encounter the annoying speaker buzz from GSM phones.

The switch in the settings are for cell data connection. If you turn it off, it turns off the data connection, 2G or 3G. There is no separate setting to turn off 3G data only (a commonly requested feature but non-existent on all AT&T phones). You will always have to access the secret menu to select your band (WCDMA or GSM).

The bars are for signal strength, not just for vocie service.
[Focus General] GrayWolf:
EDIT: rjohnstone

<snipped my "you're wrong" message, but leaving my other data here.>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G contains the following quote:

"The UMTS system, first offered in 2001, standardized by 3GPP, used primarily in Europe, Japan, China (however with a different radio interface) and other regions predominated by GSM 2G system infrastructure. The cell phones are typically UMTS and GSM hybrids. Several radio interfaces are offered, sharing the same infrastructure"

<snipped my "you're wrong" message, but leaving my other data here.>

http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=2877

"Modes GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

WCDMA 850 / 1900 / 2100"

Those are the GSM and 3G bands that the Samsung Focus uses. <snipped my "you're wrong" message, but leaving my other data here.>

I'm always willing to accept that I can be wrong (EDIT: and it seems that I was). I'm only human after all. :) If I'm the one who's somehow misunderstanding, then I would be open to having some information shared so that I can learn more about it. Would you have any links to back your claim up?
[Focus General] rjohnstone:
AT&T sends both voice and data traffic over the 3G connection when in a 3G area.

The GSM radio only comes into play when the data connection falls back to EDGE (i.e., 3G signal is too weak or not present).

This is why your call drops when you switch from a 3G area to a GSM/EDGE area.

It's a hard hand off to the next tower.
[Focus General] GrayWolf:
Thanks - would you happen to have any links that explains this in any detail?

I looked around after you mentioned it and found that I should have ran a few more keyword searches before posting. So far, the best explanation that I've found seems to be here:

"3G or Non 3G-that is the question"

http://forums.wireless.att.com/t5/G...at-is-the-question/m-p/1544262/highlight/true

The specific/relevant portion that I'm referring to is:

Now that's another person's statement on a forum and, like rjohnstone's post, makes logical sense. I'd love to read a bit more about this, if there are any useful links out there?
[Focus General] rjohnstone:
Graywolf,

My friend is a tower manager for T-Mobile.

He helped setup the initial GSM/EDGE network for Cingular back when they leased tower time from T-Mobile while they were making the transition from TDMA devices from the old AT&T network.

He explained how the call handlers worked and how the air interface works when handing off from UMTS/HSPA over to the GSM/EDGE network.

All of AT&T's handsets are programmed to use either GSM/EDGE or UMTS/HSPA, not both at the same time.

The point is, a handset can't have a GSM voice call and an HSPA data session occurring at the same time. The radios are not configured to allow it.

Many towers run both GSM/EDGE radios and UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+ radios.

Mainly to support legacy devices.

You will also notice that the old network is still there when you turn of the 3G radio in an iPhone or any other handset that permits it.

Yes, AT&T is working to decommission the older GSM/EDGE towers all together to recover the 850Mhz frequencies for use with HSPA+. This will give them better building penetration in large metropolitan areas.

Right now, AT&T does use the 1900MHz band for HSPA, and as the residence of NY will tell you, it sucks at going through walls.

You will have to do some digging for old AT&T press releases, but the info is out there.
[Focus General] GrayWolf:
Gotta give credit where it's due. I appreciate the technical detail combined with layman phrasing. I'll do more digging later but you've given me a nice high-level view of things. I did have a suspicion that my understanding was flawed somehow. Thanks for taking the time to share, rjohnstone!
[Focus General] ITDRAGON:
Yep your right I typed it wrong.. voice and data both work on 2G and 3G, but I know I'm in a 3G area only and when I turn data off 3G goes out. Now that doesn't mean I'm only making or recieving calls on the 2G band. It just mean 3G data is off. So if you want to turn off 3G all together, I don't see it on these phones yet. When I turn the celluar data back on, the 3G symbol comes back on, because it would be pretty dumb for the 3G to be controlled by turning data on and off.

Nothing's wrong - that's perfectly normal. It's one of the side-effects of using a ported OS, rather than one made specifically for our device. It may get fixed, but it really isn't an issue so I wouldn't hold my breath,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 89luca89:

(on Galaxy s, 512mb and they see at MAX 338mb...on new Galaxy they see 448mb starting from 650!)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
I think it starts at 576 then loads and locks the essentials to run the OS in the memory and calculates the remaining after that, if that makes sense.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lanc1337:
Its normal. This same app on HTC Desire shows you the same result - 411MB. The rest of the ram is used by system/gpu/etc.

Full screen weather on Hermes.

Procedure

Make sure you backup your device before you update this, in case you want to go back.

1. Install the cab Fullscreen_TitaniumWeather.cab

2. Download the file Fullscreen.zip, extract the contents into folder ‘\Program Files\TitaniumWeather\Fullscreen’ on your device.

3. Softreset the device.

4. Update the weather as usual, at the end of update your device home screen would be overlayed by corresponding weather image.

You need WM6.5 with titanium home plugin installed

I did not create it I got the files from some other forum, i have just modified the overlay images to fit to hermes screen size.

All credits to original user.

I would love a transparent status bar always, on any ROM I use.

I know there are ways to do this yourself, customize it in a way.

but i've read and its pretty hard, thinking of doing this every time after I flash a new rom.

I dont like a full theme, but i do like to have a transparent status bar on my homescreen, like the one in MIUI for example.

Maybe its possible for theme developers here to create a flashable transparentstatusbar.zip for some of the main AOSP roms, oxygen, cyanogen, villain

I would appreciate it a lot.
[Desire Themes and Apps] PynoZeu:

I'd like one too.

It's amazing, i have searched through all internet, and still not found working solution... :( tried different framework files and always ended up in boot-loop.

how hard can it be?!

Why MIUI rom has transparent status-bar and oxygen or cyanogen not?

It seems weird to have old-school win98 style (or worse) status-bar, wen we have such power in our phones nowadays. And I assume that if MIUI can do it, it should be possible...

I hope that someone figure out a working solution. I will thank this guy in advance :)
