[Desire HD General] atiq:
Hi all HTC desire HD owners.

I've come to a conclusion after a lot of bad experience with my GPS and wifi reception.

I remember my GPS working fine before I decided to protect my DHD by buying a case.

But once I put a case on it, I immediately started to experience a loss in GPS fix. Now I didn't know it was the cases fault. So I got my DHD replaced three times through my UK Orange network provider.

I only reliesed recently when I calibrated the GPS while I had the case off that it immediately fixed to 10 satellites, when I put the case back on the fix drops to 1-2 satellite fixes.

So I decided to try the same test on the wifi, and I have notices that when the case is on I have around 1-2 bars of wifi reception, but when the case is off I get frequently full 3 bars of reception.

So I have concluded that the case is blocking a seriously amount of signal strength in both my wifi and GPS radios.

PS: I'm using the ottetbox commuter and case mate - barely there. On stock rom on 2.2

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Desire HD General] Holst1981:
I have the same case on the orange network.

My wifi signal seems exactly the same as before I fitted the case.

GPS also works but im not sure how to find out the number of satelights I can see, how do you do this?
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
I'm using the Otterbox Commuter case as well and don't see any loss in signal strength at all, it be for gps or Wifi.
[Desire HD General] atiq:
You can check your GPS satellite fixes by downloading an app from the market place. I use GPS status. It shows your GPS status... does exactly what it says.

By the way its a free download.
[Desire HD General] atiq:
I've tested again and again, and I always end up with the same conclusion. The case definitely is blocking some signal strength.

I've had the case off today and my wifi has seemed to improve and definately my GPS also.

Anyway thank you for checking it out aswell.
[Desire HD General] Spyr0s:
Google for

nortonline desire hd faceplate mesh

it's a thin case with holes, im using it witout an impact to signal. Otterbox protects very well but it adds volume.
[Desire HD General] DT39:
I think it has been said before that the casemate blocks some of the signals. I've got Otterbox commuter and not had any problems with it blocking signal.
[Desire HD General] DT39:
Just found this it's not the metallic one is it.

[Desire HD General] digerati78:
Yeah i'm facing a similar issue as well. What i do is, when i use the GPS, i simply take the case off.
[Desire HD General] atiq:
Thanks I'll have a look at this. Hope this sorts it out. Currently im gonna opt for a simple HTC sock.
[Desire HD General] atiq:
Also I was thinking that due to the fact that the signal strength is weakened, has anyone experienced that as a result the battery is draining quickly. As the phone had to work harder to find a signal both in the case of gps and wifi.
[Desire HD General] atiq:
Thanks for the extra reseaching. So it seems I'm not alone. (".)
[Desire HD General] atiq:
Hi, where did you purchase the Nortonline desire hd faceplate mesh case from. Could you please post a link.

It looks like a good slim fitting case. And i suppose it hasn't given you any problems with the radios reception?

Thanks ;-)
[Desire HD General] mechanimal82:
Use gps status to reset your agps. Might help improve the connection
[Desire HD General] Spyr0s:
I bought it from a greek e-shop so you have to search in uk based shops and propably without the "nortonline" which is the greek importer, no problem with signal reception (gsm, wifi, gps)
[Desire HD General] atiq:
Thanks for the info.
[Desire HD General] atiq:
So its fair to close this post on saying that some phone cases can have a detrimental effect on the way the phone antennas work efficiently.

Particularly the gps and wifi.
[Desire HD General] niks_5in:
Guys I am been telling again and again GPS will never work on DHD without AGPS. It's not iPhone that you will get a lock in 5 seconds without AGPS.. even I had the same problem with Samsung galaxy s
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
I get a two second lock with a naked phone. Any synthetic case increases that time to between thirty seconds and five minutes. Organic cases I.e. leather provide no issues.
[Desire HD General] itzankov:
I can confirm that having a case has a very bad effect on GPS reception.

I use a TPU case, that has no metallic parts, with it I get 3-4 satellites with 10% signal, without the case I get 10 with over 50% signal.
[Desire HD General] ujkadusko:
Tested with Case Mate Tough...difference is prolonged time for GPS lock(it takes much more time).Also because of decresed intesity of satelite signals,because case act as a filter,it can lose GPS signal in a city with high buildings,no problems whatsoever on the open roads .
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
I don't have any of these problems with my otterbox commuter. 5 seconds to lock onto gps inside my house on airplane mode, no signal problems for WiFi or hspa either
[Desire HD General] atiq:
i've just decided to keep my desire hd naked. no case. i find that as a result i have better overall wifi and gps. just better signal strength all round. :D

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
Eg, when using Task Manager on PC, i go to the CPU prosess tab and now im able to change the CPU priority of any program to: very high/high/medium/low/very low.

Can we do this with WM?

Rn
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ElectronX:
You can set the priority level of a thread, not of a process.

The system scheduler works quite different from desktop Windows. A thread with a priority level above normal can lock the entire system. An application must be designed very well if it want to change the priority level of one of its threads.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
...

id like to 'trial and error'.

i understand the risk of locking the system = my own fault if it does.

but id still like to know your info about the system scheduler and changing the priorties please.

even if i cant get it to do what i want, ill still learn something new :D

Rn

ps, thanks for your reply :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ElectronX:
Here you find to both subjects a very good answer.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
Just install dotfred's task manager, and set the priorities with it. If you screw up, it doesn't matter. A soft reset restores them to the stock configuration.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
...

cheers dude, ill download and try it now.

Rn
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
update

i tried dot fred TM, but didnt like it though :/

cant i just add a .reg for each specific program that i want to have a higher cpu priority?

eg, something like this:

Dword="priority256", Value="XXX"

("XXX" = eg: "255" is normal priority)

???

Rn
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
Not that I'm aware of; this stuff isn't set in the registry, except for a few thread priorities for the file system that are in the boot.rgu, and aren't user accessible. You can get a program called Speedbooster that will automatically watch for specific processes opening, and will then adjust thread priorities to however you want them. Wait, I'll save you the time and money, because it sucks. It changes all thread priorities for a given process, and most of the time makes things worse instead of better. You're better off just doing it with a task manager manually for a while, and then giving up and realizing it's a waste of time. Lol.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
...

Yeah i already found SpeedBooster on google but its not freeware, which cant be cooked into roms ;)

I suppose it would be cool if someone develops an app dedicated to do this = no task manager, no nonsense, no nothing, just a simple small app which lets you select a program and set its priority.. Simples! :D

Basicly i wanted to increase the priority of Total Commander and Opera10 because their the main two programs i use. (probably the main two programs everyone uses.)

I think your right though dude, ill take your advice and give up now before i do waste my time, my precious ORD time! :D lol

Cheers dude!

Rn
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
I tried increasing the priorities of PIE and UCWEB with sppedbooster, and the problem is that it slows down finger-scrolling dramatically, to the point that the browsers were unusable. You can make a sppedbooster package, but just not distribute it. I cooked it in for a while, when I was determined to convince myself I hadn't blown twenty bucks on a piece of crap.

Why do you need to speed up total commander? I use it all the time, too, and it's pretty snappy. I'd suggest limiting the number of processes and not using manila to optimize speed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
...

i wanted to speed up total commander because its slow at accessing some folders eg, accessing the windows folder, there is a lag i dont like waiting for and increasing the cpu priorities for TC would reduce this lag :)

ive deleted the manila package, it eats up way too much storage/ram, so iv made my own skin for a today screen, which is aprox 1mb.

obviously manila is eye candy but im prepared to loose it for the increase in storage/ram.

i also didnt want manila in my rom due to the fact i dont actually like it, ok some stuff is cool eg, album and audio manager the way they rotate and the slide effect but its so gdam popular so most roms look the same, i wanted my rom to be differant. (i didnt want to be a sheep :))

you gave me an idea for increasing the touch velocity of the finger scrolling, could anyone tell me whats the highest velocity were able to use?

(both up and down velocities? ;))

is there one for left and right?

(obviously there must be, but do you know whats it called so i can find it?)

thanks again dude! :)

Rn
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
The easiest way to speed up access to the windows folder is just to select 'hide files in rom' in the settings. Then you can get into it quickly. Looking at rom files is pretty useless most of the time, anyway. The downside is that TC then doesn't show the plugins folder in the device root. You can also set shortcuts on the hotlist to folders you might want to access, like startup or the start menu. Finally, you can just limit the number of rom files during cooking to speed things up; the fewer the better, obviously.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] raving_nanza:
...

id rather have everything viewable in the rom rather than to hide files, useless or not. im sure everyone else would probably do the same, that way you can see exactly what you have got.

i also like to have hidden files

always

viewable on my pc too. eg, in my kitchen nothing is hidden, ive went through every folder and almost every file has had its hidden properties removed,

including

the files that dont un-hide when using the hidden files toggle on pc, which was weird :)

the plugin folder is one of the main functions i use TC for as i dont use regedit.exe or any other registry viewer other than TC. so i wouldnt want to be dissabling that function, if i dissable it i may as well add fexplore.exe back into the rom and use that instead :D

yeah, thats one of the good things about TC = the ability to create shortcuts with the >>>, however i always make them myself with a good old .txt file with the link wrote inside :)

agreed, the less files the better, obviously ;) lol

at the moment my rom for blackstone is 103mb ... storage is aprox (18 - 20mb) ... ram is aprox (40 - 50mb) in use after the initial first boot and customisation.

ill search my kitchen for the finger velocity up/down scroll tonight.

if i can improve the scroll ill be :) nbecause the scroll is really crap!

Rn

btw:

if anyone wants to Alpha test my rom then private message me because i wont be uploading it for public use untill its Beta.

im just finishing the today screen skin but ill start letting people Alpha test it after that.

(basicly to find bugs, recomendations bla bla bla.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Farmer Ted:
I totally forgot this, but the process manager in sk tools has an option to create shortcuts with a command line that will change priorities. You could create one for total commander, and then use a mortscript that would launch TC, maybe wait a few seconds, then run the shortcut to bump up the priority.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] D3VICE:
Would it be possible to change the CM 7 dialer to either on of these?

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] D3VICE:
Hey, thanks for your reply.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
Use APKTool, available here on XDA somewhere.

Decompile them, edit the required files, and recompile.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] D3VICE:
Thanks, and by the way, how do I access all of those apks?

I can't seem to find them :S.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
It is under /data/app.

You can see this file using a File Explorer like Root Explorer, and, since there is no S-OFF, you will have to extract it using ADB.

---> upon further inspection (reading changlog ) it says it's included (Arc) - Try hitting your home button twice to see if Android asks what launcher to use as default ?....
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDwan:
Wolf said in one of the posts in the thread that the Arc Launcher is included and he renamed it as the ADWLauncher APK. So OP just press the Home button and then select ADW as your launcher and that should do the trick. I haven't tried this myself because I'm using ADW EX but I'm pretty sure that's what he said in the thread.

EDIT: Upon trying this for myself, I had to select the default Home launcher in the list that shows up when pressing the Home button in order to get to the Arc Launcher. Hope this helps!

Hello everyone,

Recently I've noticed my battery drain is horrible, it started right after I modified my framework-res.apk, but before I revert back to my previous one I wanted to see if I can find the culprit.

Using SpareParts and the battery usage I notice that "Android System" is using much more resources than before, what I can't figure out is what element or package is responsible for hogging cpu time seeing us "Android System" is made up of several packages.

I would like to know if there's a way to check EXACTLY what process is doing that.

Thanks in advance.

Ive got a genuine 3 UK (unbranded) desire and been using it for over a year.

Recently they released a small software update (2.29.405.5). I couldn't install this as not enough space so i thought id do a factory reset to get space, clean up and go from scratch.

Not a problem except after that reset my WiFi has stopped working completely.

It turns on, it shows as on, it scans and it shows WLANs around. However no matter what lan you select the second you enter a key without even trying to connect it says "Unable to connect to the network".

If i try to manually add a network i get "Unable to save the network".

It doesnt even seem to attempt to connect, just errors immediately. It's not a key issue as entering any key either correct or incorrect immediately produces the above error.

After a factory reset failed to get it working i rooted the phone to delete/edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file. This didn't solve the problem.

As a last resort i downloaded the latest RUU, flashed but again this hasn't fixed the problem.

So, does anyone know whats broken or how i can fix this or is it a return on the phone?

Everything else would appear to work perfectly but it just refuses to save any details of wlans or connect to them. It all worked fine before a factory reset! :(
[Captivate General] poppinpengawen:
I was wondering if it was possible to set up the unlocking sequence for the phone so that I could do the normal unlock motion, and THEN proceed to typing in the PIN code to unlock the phone. As it stands, I can only have one option, not both. So it's either I have the unlock motion, without the security of a PIN, or I just go straight to the PIN after waking the phone. I'd like to have both options, if that makes sense :confused:
