Bill, you can use tHE 3G On/Off widget from the Market to switch from 3G to Edge, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.network2g3gonoff ;) Also Download the new 1.2.4 ModPack if you haven't already downloaded it, that LockScreen will help you with pulling the phone out of your pocket or there are more LockScreens for the ClearDroid ROM on my Thread @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1333317 and you will actually have to slide a answer Icon into the LockRing for it to answer ;)

Flashlight Won't Stay On

I used to use this ROM, but started using CM7 for 2 reasons: (1) 180 degree rotation, and (2) a flashlight that stays on when the phone is locked. The former I can live without, but the always-on flashlight saves a ton of frustration.

Is there an app out there or a mod of some sort that will keep the flash LED on, even when the screen is locked?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sticktaylor:

sticktaylor,

Thanks for the info. I had tried that curvefish 2g/3g app but when I click on the widget I have "Data roaming", "Access Point Names", "Network Operators" & "Enable always-on mobile data" & nothing for 2G/3G. Am I missing something? I saw SoftXPerience's Switch Network Type 2G / 3G on the market too which shows a screenshot but "Use only 2G networks" is missing. LOL I'll give that one a try but suspect I'll end up with the same thing.

Oh nice to know! I grabbed 1.2.3 from the 1st post thinking that was most recent! I'll look for 1.2.4 & try it & check out your thread too.

Thx!

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
1. Why on earth would you need to re-center your phone when it's upside down? :p

2. It works. Turn on flashlight, hit power button on top of phone, light turns off and screen turns off, hit power button once more, light comes back on and phone is locked. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I'll keep looking for a solution. I'd love to be able to do this too. Last time I checked it out, nobody around had any answer for forcing UMTS or lower... :(

1.2.4's lockscreen is new, but the "call answer" part is the same... still the up/down slidey thing. I'll start looking for solutions. Stick's full sense 3.0 lockscreens might change it though, I'm not sure. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sticktaylor:
My LockScreen has a Answer & Ignore Icon that pops up on incoming calls & to answer you have to slide the Icon into the ring & hold it there for a second or 2. Theres a way to make the screen stay asleep while its in your pocket also

Clear, you get the APKs I PM you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Thanks for the reply ClearD. That'd be way cool. On the Aria it was just a matter of edit/replace of the one config file but it it is like it is hard-coded on the Inspire or some running app is over-riding or something. Aggravating for sure as there are certainly legit reasons to force EDGE.

Yeah I got 1.2.4 installed & lock screen is definitely different but yer right the answer lock seemed the same although the area of the screen that needs to be touched seems a lot smaller so maybe it will solve the problem. I glanced at Stick's lock but a bit involved for 1:20am when I should be sleeping so I'll see how the current setup works & keep that in mind if I feel up to some adventure. lol

Thanks again,

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I'm sure I did :) Working now on downloading a stock GB desire HD rom, with which I'll unpack the settings.apk, then decompile that, then diff and merge that one with the Inspire settings, and possibly give us some more options. We'll see what it looks like when I'm done lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sticktaylor:
I sent you a new settings apk with the others also, it makes the settings background transparent & I have the Transparent App Drawer an HTC Sense Docks, & a few other Themed HTC features (Black MMS, Dialer, & KeyBoard or White MMS, Dialer, & KeyBoard)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Well that was a bust... all that work, and it's exactly the same. I'll try a couple more things...

EDIT: I give up for tonight. Tried a settings.db modification also, pulling it and pushing it back to the device... no dice, but I also still need to double check that it stuck. :p

So sorry about that, crypted, I got mixed around when posting those! It's still wrong in Rom Manager too, but I'll fix it when 1.3.2 is released. :)

Tonight, I'm on a mission. I want to port over the network settings thing from the DHD to ours. I have several APKs that it might reside in, so I'm right now making a build of the desire HD 2.50.405.2 stock rom to test and mess around with. I'll start pulling specific APKs and databases from that build, then check and see which ones make which changes. I only want to include parts of the one that makes the difference, so I'll be diffing that one and merging it with our stock one (if the changes are significant enough to do so), and then we'll *hopefully* have those settings.

Keep in mind, this could take a while... please bare with me. :(

The Market was Updated, Here's the updated 3.3.12 Market Update - http://db.tt/Ubshunnb

Here's a screen shot of the build version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
OK so I spoke too soon. With 1.2.12RC2 I had super fast GPS lock even inside and with newer builds it was taking 10-15 minutes if it'd ever lock standing outside in middle of clear sunny day. (Most of the time I'd never even see a single green bar) and I couldn't bear waiting that long for GPS when I needed it so I rolled back to 1.2.12 & confirmed almost instant locks with 1st lock being longer than that but still quite fast.

Well with 1.3.1 running GPS status I'd start seeing green bars almost right away assumed that meant I was good. Not so much. Today running GPS status it took 10 minutes to get a lock even though a bunch of green bars were showing WITH THE PHONE ON MY DASHBOARD face down with the back towards the wide open sky. I figured it was just because I hadn't used navigation/gps since the new flash. Navigation did work fine though once it locked.

Tonight I decided to try GPS again & same thing. It starts showing green bars pretty much immediately but here it is 15 minutes later & no lock still after just using navigation a few hours ago. I can see 7 green bars but no lock after 15 minutes. Sumtin just isn't right..

Btw, one of the other things I have yet to have enough time to test fully is battery life. I was getting 3-4 days regularly with 1.2.12 & here today I am down to 61% after 11 hours so not looking too promising. Granted I used GPS today & had a couple 1/2 hour calls so we'll see. (I think most of my battery was wasted watching & waiting for the GPS to lock LOL)

Bill

Ps. OK so leaving gps status run while typing this another 10 minutes passed still no lock but have 8 green bars & battery has dropped to 57%. Have a feeling 1.2.12 here I come again. hehe
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Try to give your phone at least 48 hours to "settle" with the GPS after a flash before GPS will actually start functioning like it's supposed to lol. I'm not sure why. Honestly, no idea. But it works best after you let it run normally for a couple of days. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sticktaylor:
If you let it settle like Clear said to do It locks super fast & doesn't use much battery life.

This ROM w/ BD-Ace Kernal has the best Battery Life of all the Inspire ROMs I've tried Including RC's. Make shure you wiped your Batt Stats using CWM & your Cpu max MHz & Gov are set correctly. My Battery life was never this good with any other ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Oops too late I already went back to 1.2.12RC2 cuz I wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. I wiped cache & dalvik in clockwork then installed 1.2.12 & rebooted. Tested GPS & after 5 min no green bars so I figured the new radio wasn't meshing with the older RIL so I installed the 12.56.60.25 radio back on & rebooted & tested again. Got 1st GPS lock in 4 minutes & 27 seconds. Every lock after that has been 6-20 seconds.

I can put 1.3.1 back on & be patient but wanted to make sure I wasn't nuts. :D

One side note.. After following the above I ended up with GSM only!! I **** you not it stuck on EDGE for 10 minutes without a hint of switching to 3G. Once I rebooted though it went back to ignoring GSM only. I rebooted a few more times & every time it went right to H+. On a hunch I rebooted into bootloader & flashed the 12.56.60.25 radio again & voila locked on EDGE!

Anyway, not sure if that was a fluke or perhaps a hint as to why GSM only doesn't seem to work on the Inspire. It is as if the rom is changing the radio files/config once it boots overwriting some files/settings that get flashed with the radio. Trick might be to narrow that down now that it appears I have a way to reproduce it & stop it from happening or undoing those changes after they are done.. Is there an easy way to track/log/compare what is flashed with the radio with what is still there after 1st boot to see?

So how quickly would I kill my phone if I reflashed the radio every time needed to reboot? LOL

Still on EDGE the 2nd time even after typing all this. Don't think it was a fluke! :)

Thx

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Bill my friend, that's weird as hell. ;)

But awesome. Maybe the radio you're using is from an older desire build? In fact, it appears it is. :p

"Released for Desire HD (Telus/Canada) - 06-23-2011

Radio: 12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M

Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0153HM"

Assuming that's the one you're using, anyways. :)

Possibly an incompatibility with HSDPA/HSUPA? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
LMAO I know right?!? :D

I am pretty sure I got the radio from your thread here back when 1.2.12 was 'hot off the presses' but software info says:

12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M

The radio.img file inside is dated 01-11-2011.

If not from your thread I must have read that was the recommended one to use..

In any case my phone is still on EDGE & I suspect it will stay that way until I reboot then I'd need to flash that radio again..

Btw in terms of incompatibility, with this radio & your 1.2.12 rom I never had issues with HSDPA or at least nothing worse than the old 100% stock stuff on the same phone in same spots. My guess is that upon booting something runs on the rom that changes something the radio flash sets or puts in place but the fun part is figuring out what. lol

It is a crap way to get it done but I am just happy I finally found a way to force EDGE if absolutely necessary! :cool: (The hope is that it leads to a real solution btw lol)

Thx

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You guys ready for this? I've got mine sticking on EDGE-only now, on 1.3.1 with nothing special. Same radio.

1. Open phone dialer, and type *#*#INFO#*#*

2. Select "Phone Information"

3. Press the hard "Menu" button, then select "Select Radio Band"

4. Choose "Auto"

5. Press "back" button once

6. Under "Set Preferred Network Type" drop-down menu, select "GSM Only"

7. Watch your phone stick to the edge network. :)

Apparently, there's an app in the market called "LTE Connect" or something like that, that automatically dials the INFO combination for you and opens up the menu, to make things easier. :)

EDIT: Also, regarding the network settings in the desire HD... I made a build of my own, with the desire HD Gingerbread base, and tested their network settings. They use the exact same settings we have here in our INFO menu, except toned down. It only has like 3 options... our menu has what... 9?

EDIT 2: Actually, there might be 1 little thing making a difference... I need someone to test the above method though, and let me know what it does for you. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] sticktaylor:
Just tested it and it pulls up, but the mine is always connected to 3G where I live, I always have H+ w/ a check mark under it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Cool! It sticks after reboot? Does that work after rebooting?

I've done the testing menu many times & set gsm only without luck (beyond short durations) on my Inspire but hey I'll give it a shot & get back with ya.

Thx

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Don't know yet... now it's acting funky. I think it might be the settings.db value I changed last night. I'm gonna change that back, then see what it does.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
I just tested your procedure above to the T with 1.2.12 & that other older radio & no go. Now I'll put your latest rom & radio back on & see.

Bill

EDIT: Ok same thing with 1.3.1 & 12.62.60.27P_26.13.04.19_M Radio. I can get & stick EDGE on 1st boot after flashing the radio if I had GSM only before flashing the radio but as soon as I reboot it goes back to H+. (One difference is it briefly showed EDGE which I got excited about but after about 45 seconds it went to H+ where on 1.2.12 with the older radio it went straight to H+ upon boot.) I tried the above steps a 2nd time & no go. Still goes to H+ even if GSM only is set unless I flash the radio again after setting to GSM only. Wonder if your EDGE deal was fluke of 1st boot after radio flash or if indeed you have something different than the 1.3.1 build 3 I used..
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I bet it's the setting I changed. My phone basically doesn't see 3G anymore lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
LOL DOH! Well guess it is nice to have the OPTION if needed but at this point think I'd prefer to flash the radio again if I had to. hehe

So if you set back to WCDMA preferred again no H? Wow. Setting to US band doesn't help? Or rebooting? Remember those settings for anyone who needs that trick. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Well, setting back to WCDMA goes to H+ (HSDPA), but it skips over UMTS? :confused:

Just set that one setting back from "1" to "0", so let's see what it does this time...

EDIT: Yep... now that the setting is back to "0", it's going to HSDPA every time on GSM only or any other setting.

And it's not a simple setting that can be changed, either... it's stored in an SQLITE database in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

the value is in the "secure" database, if I recall...

Anyways, the gist is that it's not something that I can just make a button for. :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Come on where's the magic button!?! ;)

Well seems some progress either way as guess there are 2 methods now at least and maybe it'll help get to a real solution later.

So no button but perhaps either step by step how-to or some installer that could be flashed to toggle maybe? Guess I don't know what I'd be missing w/o UMTS if I was willing to force EDGE on for a better signal.

Thx!

Bill
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Lol it requires root explorer, and SQLITE from the market, both of which cost money, then it also requires ADB and your computer. :)

It has to be pushed back to the phone through ADB. Though I guess if there was a way (I don't know of any way to push to /data/data, as I've tried that before) then it might *possibly* *MAYBE* be flashable... but I doubt it. :(

EDIT: In brighter news, the first parts of 1.3.2 have been built. New MMS is included along with bdaman's 1.1.5 kernel, including a capped 1.3GHz (read: safe) overclock, and 2-way call recording. I'll also be including the new market that stick located, and the 1.2.4 ModPacks will be released at the same time. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bill48105:
Ahh OK. Well either way it is nice to have options. :) For now I'll just flash the radio if I need to force EDGE but might be interesting to know the steps/details to try your method until something better comes along.

Wow sounds like you've been busy! Just don't break anything. lol

[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
thanks for the info
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Personally, I use 245 min, 1267200 max as my regular profile, then 1113000 min and 1344000 max as my charging profile, smartassV2 governor the whole time. :)

I figure if it's not charging, the minor overclocking is fine and will still save battery, and while charging, hell with battery saving, overclock all the way. I don't like to go over the 1344000 mark though, for any long periods of time.

Version 1.3.2 will be locked initially to 1344000 as the max OC setting, to prevent any future issues lol.

As posted in other thread:

So I found the source of our gps woes. It isn't the Rom or the software at all. It is the hardware. The gps antenna is under the cover that houses the flash LEDs. It is also connected only by the same 2 pressure prongs that you see under the battery cover and microsd cover.

After you put a little pressure on this area for any extended period of time, the contacts will stop touching. I just confirmed this myself by taking my phone apart, gently pulling the prongs back into place, then replacing the cover.

Instant 4-second gps lock indoors, where I've gotten no lock for the past 2 days.

My solution is only temporary, as it will happen again, so I am going to solder a permanent antenna per another thread I just read. I was told single core wire, 4.6 Cm long, 0.8 mm diameter is what I need. I'll report back.
