[Desire General] 325i.:
I have recently moved location and its a bad area for my network provider. Because of this my desire had little to no reception and only get basic 2g internet.

Question is, when the phone has little to no reception and only 2g internet, does this use more power and thus create a larger battery drain?

I've noticed that the battery runs out quicker now.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Weak signal usually means bigger battery drain.
[Desire General] doctormetal:
If you have no 3G you can disable it the mobile network settings under wireless network settings.

If you have bad reception your battery will drain faster as it is constantly scanning all frequencies for a better 3G signal.
[Desire General] mercianary:
2g generally uses less battery but if the phone is scanning for a 3g signal as mentioned above it will use more. So just select 2g only to stop it scanning for 3g and save battery.
[Defy General] netten123321:
I cant connect to ad-hoc wifi network, it is well known software android problem at all devices but i tried like this links:

exop.pro/blog/2010/08/15/ad-hoc-support-for-android

szym.net/2010/12/adhoc-wifi-in-android/

when i replace wpa_supplicant, wifi seems doesnt work, i cant find any wifi network (ap or ad-hoc)

please help
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
I tried creating ad hoc wifi network in my laptop for my defy but failed. The phone did not detect the network. Then I installed connectify instead and it works faultlessly. :)
[Defy General] joyguard:
Is there any adhoc patch for defy?
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
*wrong post deleted*
[Defy General] sunoldman:
I can connect defy with my laptop without installing any other software. But I'm not sure if it is a ad-hoc network. My laptop wifi driver provide a special ap mode and it can be used to share network.
[Defy General] bikerabhinav:
Same here. I tried all the patches of wpa_supplicant given in this thread as well: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755254 but the wifi just can't search for any network and it turns off itself.

Another member "webvan" tried the above steps on his Milestone and failed(from the above thread).

Seems like Moto has a different hardware config.

FYI, I'm running 2.2.2 custom rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037076)
[Defy General] joyguard:
What a tragedy.

It seems there's no such patch for Defy.
[Defy General] Jefgenowitsch:
for me it worked with 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC rom which i used for a very long time.

the problem is, you must manually connect to an ad-hoc network.

if you don't want to do that each time, you can install cyanogenmod by quarx and it will automatically connect to your saved ad-hoc network
[Defy General] zhaky_gng:
Maybe you should try update to 2.2/2.3 based rom.

Fyi, i'm now at MIUI rom & got no problems with ad-hoc wifi network.

Dont forget to activate Internet Connection Sharing (for windows user), just to assure your device got IP Address automatically.

P.S Sorry for my bad english

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzachef:
I've formatted my sd card with Rom manager, 512MB on the ext partition, and 32MB on the swap.

Then I installed LiquidSense 2.2.1, which has A2SD built-in...so far as I can tell.

So I've installed a bunch of apps I had before (I was running LiquidSense 2.1 and was running out of room...down to ~20MB internal). And I have over 100MB free, but when I install a few apps, my internal memory still drops a little. I started with ~124MB free. Does a small part of the app still take up space on internal?

So is there a way to check where the apps are actually residing? Also, I pushed a few apps...Mail.apk and the htc bookmark widget...to /system/apps, so are they on internal or on sd? Can I move them to sd if they are internal?

Thanks for the help. I hope this isn't a repeat question, I searched for a way to verify app installation location and didn't come up with anything.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrkcirtap:
Apps will still take up some amount of space in the internal. Like the kindle app goes from 6 megs to about 4.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
With Apps2SD, the application is moved from the /data/app directory to the /sd-ext partition, but the userdata is still stored internally in the /data/data directory.

Edit: Also the dalvik cache is still stored internally.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzachef:
Thanks for the responses. That makes sense that some data is stored internally. I don't suppose there's a way to browse the ext partition of the sdcard? Using Astro, I don't see a way to see a different partition, but maybe I'm just missing it. Also, the internal /data folder is empty. That didn't seem right.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazz83:
hey everybody, first off I'm a noob..Phhh feels good to finally let it out lol..I just have a question not sure if it was asked already or not..I just got a mytouch 4g and i did a permaroot, got -S and installed cyanogen 6.1.2 RC2 and I was wondering if all that meant that it's unlocked. I have simple mobile now but was thinking of going with another carrier. If it isn't unlocked can someone show me how to unlock it (possibly for free) or direct me to the right place.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
the ./gfree and SuperCID have unlocked the SIM card to use on any carrier. IF you did that then you should be good to go. If you know someone with the carrier you are looking @ just ask to use one of their SIM cards for a moment and see if you get signal.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazz83:
Yea I was able to do all that so I'll see if anybody I know has that carrier and give it a try. Thanks for responding so quickly
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Cortiis:
OK, I have created a new Gingerbread theme - CortiisTheme using Cyanbread as the base theme. You van use it via the Gingerbread Theme Chooser.

Now no need to flash a theme update and fearing boot loops or overwriting your system files.

Here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?5u0lsjsg8upioq5

1) Updated status bar and many other icons

2) Improved check boxes and radio buttons

3) Install and apply using the Gingerbread Theme Chooser

4) As this uses the Theme Chooser, should work on all Gingerbread ROMS and not just Cronos

Usage: Install the APK and apply using the Theme Chooser, select CortiisTheme.

This is just a test package and might have issues. Please report any bugs you find and I will try to improve.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] takuhii:
Sweet!! just out of interest, what do you use for taking the screenshots?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] DjoeN:
Shootme

It lets you take screenshots by shaking your device.

This way you can take screenshots of lockscreens and other situations, apps like "Screen Capture" can't take that.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] tremendouz:
use this: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools\ddms.bat

this is my path, yours can be different!

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
Ok, @cortiis, I've found out why I was having problems with the signal strength icons. It is because my phone is roaming all the time ( my carrier lends network from another carrier) and this theme doesn't include. I really don't need special roaming icons with that ugly r in the corner (i usually remove it myself, but I'm having problems with theme chooser apks) so it would've been nice if you could just use the same signal icons but name them stat_sys_r_signal_1 and so on :-)

hi there, i really need some help..not a tech genius..i installed the gingervillian 1.5 rom..everything went fine, but i forget to make a nandroid back up..when i install it was too late and my nandroid back up now is the gingervillian rom itself!..i dont really like the gingervillian because it wont work with htc sync. i have googled and tried so many ways i cant use other roms except gingervillian 1.5. all other roms just get stuck at the htc boot screen(for like 5 hours!)..factory reset dont work, full wipe dont work..i just need help on how to get back the original rom of the desirez 2.2 froyo..thx a lot..my life is counting on u genius out there!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
I am assumng that you flashed CWM Recovery 3.0.0.x (orange) to install Gingervillian in the first place, right? Well in order to flash a Froyo version rom you need to flash the CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3 (green) back onto your phone prior to trying to flash a Froyo (2.2) based rom.

Update: The new CWM 3.0.0.5 recovery from ROM Manager now support both 2.2 and 2.3 roms.

yes i did flash cwm(orange)..i also revert back to green (2.5.1.3), but where do i get the froyo rom?..i did get 1 from modaco but it wont work..i am now in the CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3 (green), but every rom i install stuck on the htc boot screen..

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
Have you been clearing the data and cache partitions after flashing new roms?

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 running Cyanogenmod.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
I'm unfamiliar with those ROMs but if they aren't built for the Desire Z and/or TMobile G2, then that is your problem. The best place to get your ROMs is in the Development thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758

If the ROM you have is specifically built for your phone and is on the sd card then:

1 boot into recovery

2 wipe data/factory reset

3 (still in recovery) advanced>wipe davlik cache

4 (still in recovery) mounts and storage>format boot & format system

5 flash the zip from the sd card

6 reboot system (you may need to reboot a second time on some ROMs for everything to work correctly)

Try finding a stock g2 rom. After that download the zip. Go into recovery mode by pressing power and vol down. Make sure you have clockwork mod recovery. Not sure which version. Mine is orange. Wipe data and cache partition or something. Then install the zip. Should work. Hope I helped.

[Desire HD General] znerk:

[Desire HD General] shakadamus:
Are you reading it from the widget or actually opening the message application? Because it wont remove the notification if you're only viewing it from the widget.
[Desire HD General] znerk:
I use the default shortcut to the message application(right now I am using EX launcher) but it's the same with default HTC sense.

I've found other people experiencing the same problem, but no resolution ! :confused:
[Desire HD General] shakadamus:
I have no idea then :confused: may seem a tad extreme but you could try a factory reset I suppose.
