[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] delirium5:
I've done tons of searching for solutions to my internet connectivity problems in my house.

First off, I don't have a job; so therefore there is no money coming in so I can make this simple and easy. Do not tell me to buy a wifi adapter or something like that.

I know that the HD2 with the bone stock hd2 rom from T-Mobile has the WMWiFiRouter app that allows you to share a WIFI CONNECTION (NOT 3G/EDGE) via usb to a device (computer, xbox, etc).

Well, now HD2 has the droid option and I upgraded. Running android via root, not SD.

I need to know if there is any app, or anything out there that will let me use my WIFI CONNECTION FROM MY PHONE, AND TETHER IT VIA USB TO A DEVICE. I do not have 3G/EDGE connectivity, so thats not a path we can go down. I want to connect to the wifi in my house, and share that connection from my phone to a device via USB. thanks.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvictor:
So I flash all the custom rom for mt4g, gorilla, evil, cy and notice the H change to 3G and sometime to E constantly, at first I thought it may be the coverage area. My friend has pure mt4g, never rooted, never flash, it is a stock rom. His is H while my Gorillia DHD said 3G, I decided to do a speed test, my friend mt4g was faster with H while my was much slower even though we sitting next to each other.

My question is why does the 3g switch back to h constantly? and when it switch back to 3g, it was slower too?

Where can I get pure stock rom from tmobile for the mt4g so I can test it against with my friend mt4g phone?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
The stock tmobile ROM shows H for HSPA and HSPA+. while the custom ROMs show what you are actually getting.

Your phone is being honest, while his is lying about it makeing you think its HSPA+ all the time.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
While you are correct, he also made it clear that speed tests indicated better performance out of stock. I have also experienced this issue, it is the primary reason why I don't use CM7. I'm in a pretty bad coverage area, and it seems that the stock rom does a better job of managing the shift between different networks. The best speeds I got were on CM7, but in a series the results were all over the place. In an applied situation, streamed video would constantly need to rebuffer with CM7, while my GF's stock would play it smooth. This wasn't a one time test, i did it 10-20 times in different areas all with the same result. I don't blame CM7 by any means, but I can't get it to be consistent so I can't use it. I'm new to android but i'm not new to hacking/flashing devices, this was the ONLY problem I couldn't resolve with CM7, everything else ran flawlessly.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
My wife is still rocking tmo's stock ROM while I am using CM7RC1 ive personally never had performance issues that she passed with ease.

I cannot relate to what you are describing.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvictor:
I see the custom Tom are more honest but the speed issues still are not explain, tmo stock get better speed but performance is crap compare to cm7, I try to restore back to stock so I can speed test but have no luck yet does anyone have the stock tmo so I can install through rom manager?

Have you tried running the Iced Glacier rom? The one you're using now won't even load on my phone, and I have the MT4G, been running the Iced Glacier rom for a while now without seeing that issue...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielvictor:
actually I did and I do see it happen too, but it is rare, I have yet to speed test the ice glacier vs pure glacier from tmobile
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powduh09:
Could be a problem with your device. I ran Iced Glacier for about a month, never had that problem. Also I'm running evil's 4g-HD now and haven't ran into that issue. Will run a speed test a get back at ya.

Hate to Necro, but...

This seems to still be true. Does every single MT4GS with a custom ROM do this or is it just me?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
which of the roms has a kernel already in it that allows for overclocking that you have been enjoying and have been stable for you?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stshannon:
Easy. CyanogenMod is arguably the most popular mod/rom out there... HIGHLY developed and supported. I believe it allows Overclocking to 1.5 out of the box. There's a RC2 (Release Candidate) out there for Gingerbread, that's CM7, or there's the latest Stable release 6.1.1, which is Froyo. But honestly, a Release Candidate is ALMOST as good as a stable.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
the cyn roms, are they basically stock vanilla roms? sorry there are so many i am confused.

im coming from a mt4g and this G2 phone is slow in comparison (im overclocked to 1.2ghz at stable levels, using icedglacier rom from there)

does any of the roms mess around with call quality? im feeling that the G2 call quality is better than the mt4g.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
If you're coming from the MyTouch 4G, I'd recommend you check out Virtuous, as well. It's a Sense ROM, so it's a bit different than stock, but out of the box it's overclocked to 1GHz (highest you can go without needing to change voltage, I believe), and you can flash the advanced kernel if you want full overclock control.

I was previously overclocking to 1.2GHz, but the last 2 versions of Virtuous I've stuck with the stock kernel (that's included in the ROM) and am really pleased with it thus far.

There are other things that can affect your phone's speed, including what's running in the background, what you have syncing, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
Sense rom means it has the htc crap on it right? That I do not want.

From my permarooted HTC G2 via XDA app
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
Yes, Sense is HTC's user interface overlay. Keep in mind that you don't have to use their launcher - I use LauncherPro, but keep Sense for the superior camera, music, and contacts applications. Just a thought, but everyone has their preferences (hence there's so many ROMs. :))
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BootloopedMillennials:
Use either CM 6.1.1 Stable (Froyo) or CM 7 Nightly's (Gingerbread) with Pershoot's latest kernel. My G2 at 1.5ghz is as fast if not slightly faster than my friends MT4G at a similar OC level.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:
i use launcher pro now, im just not a fan of all the overlays they do. thats one thing about my mt4g, it sucks with all the overlay especially the contacts app and the phone app, it seems like it takes twice as long to load up.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tackleberry:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Conner85:
I've searched everywhere and no one can help.

Could someone please provide the stock Alltel Milestone (A854 CDMA) 2.1 update 1 recovery for me to download and go back to stock when I need to? And I would need instructions on how to do this.

I did a rom backup on Rom Manager of the stock 2.1.1 and switched to CyanogenMod 6.1.2-Droid and was under the impression that I could flash back and forth as I please. But I have been reading that Rom Manager doesn't backup the kernel and when I use the nandroid backup, it won't work because the kernel for the version of CyanogenMod (based on 2.2.1 Froyo) will not be compatible with the stock 2.1.1 Eclair. Is this true?

Please, only reply if you know what you're talking about.

[HD7 General] JRDroid:
So whenever I use any service that uses GPS (Weather Channel, Facebook, Bing Maps, etc.) it initially thinks I am in a town 36 miles from where I am, very near an apartment I used to live in in that town. This is not a big deal in Maps as it quickly corrects its self, but in Facebook or Weather Channel they just take the initial location, so when I go to check in I am shown business near the wrong location and I recieve weather info for the wrong location. Is there a way to fix this? Is it just a defective unit?

[Atrix 4G Accessories] Q80:
Hey forum!

Does anyone know whether there will be a Powermat battery door for our phone?

Could anyone confirm that It has the possibility to have it?

It would be a nice accessory to have this thing to charge our phones wirelessly ;)

I already got the pad and the battery door for my HTC HD2 .. and would like to have the same experience for my new superduperphone! :D
[Atrix 4G Accessories] elementaldragon:
There is a possibility it will have a battery door replacement instead of a case like the iPhone, due to the fact that the Atrix has a removable battery door that covers the entire back of the phone. It's only a matter of whether or not the people behind PowerMat actually design one for the Atrix that will determine whether or not we see one. Seeing as it's bound to be a quite popular phone, i can't imagine them NOT making a solution for it, but you never know.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeandesire:
Hi all,

I'm getting an error message while watching videos on the YouTube app (any version).

The error message appears around the middle or last half of the video.

It says something like : "a playing error occurred. Touch to try again." (Translated from french ).

I'm running CM 6.1.1 but got the same problem with CM 7.0 Rc1 or gingervillain gb port.

Is it a cache size issue ?

Thanks for your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asp2010:
i sometimes get this error when watching videos (seems to be quite randomly, though), but they work after a refresh (or, at least, i can view past the error until i have to refresh again). but i think it has something to to with the data connection, since i've noticed resetting my wifi / 3G connection helps avoid this error for a while. might have something to do with the radio?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeandesire:
Thanks.

When I get this error message and refresh, the video starts at the beginning again! I never can see the end of the video.

I'm using radio 5.14.05.17

Do you think I should downgrade? Which one is the best radio?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asp2010:
i really don't know very much about radios, since i've never had problems with the one i'm using (5.09.05.30), thus i haven't had the need to flash another. from what i've read, radios provide different experiences on different handsets in various places, so the only one who can tell which exacly is the best is you. i suggest you read through the thread of the rom you are using and find a couple radios of which people say good things from their own experience and try to see which performs better on your phone.

please take care when flashing a radio, because a bad flash can really brick your device. again, i don't know much about radios and flashing them, but a lot of people say the best (and safest) way to do it is through fastboot. maybe you should read around on how to do it, and make sure the file you download is not corrupted (do an md5 checksum if possible), suits your rom and device and there are people who say they've been successfully using it. good luck!

[Vibrant General] mlg_xiphas:
I can't ODIN back to a stock ROM.

I forgot to take disable Voodoo( I KNOW LMDSKDJ) and I ODIN like regularly,but it got stuck after 30 minutes of me waiting. I did the pull battery trick, and it didn't boot up, so I did the take out the battery and hold Volume and put back the battery trick.

I managed to get back to Download mode, but after trying to ODIN several times, it always hang at either "Get Pit for Mapping" or modem.bin, or not load at all.

I even tried to partition, but to no avail.

I've looked up several cures for this, but I can't simply find one. I hope I didn't eff up my phone.
[Vibrant General] xmrtarox:
Maybe your odin.exe is broken. Try redownloading it, otherwise it might be your pit file or stock rom that is corrupt.
[Vibrant General] CitrixLemon:
One thing to try if Odin isn't working for you. Repartitioning seems to be the way to fix it, but Odin seems to get confused if there's a micro SD card when you repartition. Try turning you phone off, taking out the SD card and the SIM card while you're at it. Put the battery back in, get into download mode, and reflash stock. This helped me when I was having trouble getting back to stock from the horrible 2.2 off of mini kies. Not sure if this is the same issue you're having but I thought I'd throw it out there.
[Vibrant General] roumenjr:
I don't know where you got the PIT and PDA files from but try this place:

http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/how-to-restore-or-recover-your-samsung-vibrant/

I would download all from there, it worked for me a week ago when I almost bricked my phone :confused:

Also, make sure only two check boxes are checked, noting else!

Good luck and update with progress!
[Vibrant General] ameedi600:
If u flashed dow kernel without disabling voodoo then ur phone is bricked and u can't odin back. Trust me I've tried and to no avail, I really need a fix for my phone.
[Vibrant General] sharkethicx:
Usually persistance is key.

Take everything out (sim, battery, sd) and boot up ODIN with all the files ready to go. Hold the up and down button on your phone and then connect it to your computer. Put the battery in and let go of the volume buttons and that should put you into download mode. Odin away. If it doesn't work, keep trying. I bricked my phone pretty badly to the point where when it was plugged in, it wouldn't even charge, but doing this, I was able to get into download mode and get it working. It took a while to work, but it did work.
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
^^^

I had the same happen to me with an update on the dead horse kernel. Odin wouldn't recognize the phone the first few times and when it did it would hang. I would suggest that every time it does not flash successfully, unplug, close and re-open odin, and start download mode over. Start fresh every try.
[Vibrant General] carlcj5:
I have never bothered disabling lagfix when odining back and have never had an issue..I don't believe lagfix or voodoo in general is causing problems for odin .

And I have used odin many many times
[Vibrant General] mlg_xiphas:
After re-downloading ODIN and the pit/tar files, I managed to successfully ODIN back to the stock ROM.

I would imagine it was a corrupted ODIN, but I've been using the same one for mulitple ODINs.. lol

Thanks everyone! :] This is why I love this board!

since im currently using the 'full screen caller id' app, everytime i hangup or pickup a call, the default caller id pops up at the end for a second. it doesnt seem to be interfering with the call quality but i would like it to not show up just so it would look nice.

any tweaks i can do??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
1) I have an ext3 partition on my SD card, which means my Desire is A2SD/A2SD+ compliant right? But whether A2SD or A2SD+ is in effect depends on the ROM I'm running - am I right to say this?

2) What exactly is Hboot? I seem to recall having read somewhere that Hboot is an alternative to A2SD... can anybody clarify? (And before you start flaming that there are a thousand and one topics on this already, I tried searching, but search was down)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lick_the_fish:
1. Yes that's correct.

2. Hboot us essentially a different set of partitions for your desire's system. Currently your desire has internal memory split into 250mb system, 150mb data and a cache partition. The rom goes in system, apps in data. If the rom is small (aosp roms are smaller than sense due to the lack of sense which takes up tons of space) you can flash a different hboot which will change the layout of your phones internal memory. N1 table for instance has about 175 for system and a larger data partition, while the oxygen hboot has a tiny (90mb) system partition and a massive (300 odd mb) data partition negating the need for a2sd+ at all.

Hope that helps
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Super informative, better than I could have hoped for :D Thanks!

Anyway I'm going to flash CM7 now, but on my previous ROM (GingerVillain), I'm pretty sure A2SD/A2SD+ was working fine, but in Titanium Backup it shows that my internal data partition was pretty congested. Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lick_the_fish:
I'm no expert and don't fully understand how a2sd+ installs apps etc. I don't know if it uses phone data first and then ext partition or what.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin_216:
Titanium Backup doesn't always show the correct info when it comes to available memory.

On gingervillian you have to use a dalvik-cache to ext script to create space on the internal memory, if you didn't do that then it can fill up quickly.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asp2010:
a2sd+ uses the ext partition on you sd card to move the apk file of applications. however, there are still some parts of the app, mainly the dalvik cache, which remain on the data partition in your phone's internal memory; that's why your internal storage still decreases, even when using an a2sd+-enabled ROM. there are some scripts which will move this dalvik cache to the sd card as well, but be sure you read carefully before applying and pay close attention to whether your card is fast enough so as not to generate performance issues (generally, you would need at least a class-4 card, with a class-6 or higher being recommended)
