WIFI Analyzer and non-sense roms

First I want to thank the devs for their work. Without you guys we would not get to enjoy the many flavors of "Frozen Yogurt" on the Slide.
I have used CR_Mod and 3rd Sense longer than any other roms. The reason? Because WIFI Analyzer works on those two roms. The app has been useful when performing quick and dirty wireless network tweaks on the job. The issue I run into with all of the other roms on the Slide is that the device cannot detect what channel the network is broadcasting on.
Again, this only happens on non-sense froyo roms (as far as I can tell... have not used non-sense 2.1). Does anyone else use this app? If so, have you run into this issue? My fear is that it is driver related, and official source froyo for the Slide will be necessary to fix it.
Anaway, please chime in... even if it is to tell me I'm th only nerd that uses this app.

I have not tried using it yet, but I am running the latest CM nightly (212). I could test this out tonight when I get back from the office. Have you already applied the CM Wifi Fix?

Thanks for checking it out, fermunky. I actually did try the wifi fix. My wifi worked fine before (with this small exception). Same thing after the fix. It's not that big of a deal. More of a convenince than a necessity, as my wifi works fine otherwise. It is a sad indicator of the slow htc espresso development, however.

Well, as mentioned I can try it when I return home. My company heavily enforces the rule of using absolutely no wifi in our building, and I like my job Is the app just Wifi Analyzer in the market for free?

Of course! I refrain from wifi at work also. It is in fact "Wifi Analyzer" and it is free in the market.

Well, not sure exactly what you're looking for, I chose to view the Channel Rating, and selected my AP. Strangely, it says Current Channel: 0 and of course no rating, but it does list all 14 channels and their respective ratings. Anything specific you want me to try?

That's the problem I was pointing out... "Current Channel: 0". The reason it stood out to me was because when I go to an office and want to quickly check the network I have no idea what channel its broadcasting on. Of course its not that big of a hassle to open my laptop, but when I switched to non-sense roms it was annoying. Glad to know its not just my device. I just flashed the the 3rdSense update and now it works perfectly (shrugs shoulders).

Glad I could help. I am running CM6 nightly 212 with the Wifi fix mentioned earlier, just for reference.
I should also mention though that the wifi fix doesn't appear to have helped any. But at the same time, I am using the standard Linksys wrt54g, thats about 4 years old now, so probably time for an update/upgrade.

I ran into this problem yesterday. All features of wifi analyzer work except channel listing!
It's aggrevating to say the least.

I can confirm this problem exists on CM7 build 8. I also miss Wifi Analyzer, but I haven't really needed it for months, I almost forgot about this problem.

Finally, found a thread with the problem I'm facing! Good lord, I've spent days trying combinations of search terms that would net something other than endless pages of how to change the channel of an AP.
Anyway, any update on this issue? I'd really like to optimize a couple networks and Wifi Analyzer would be really helpful if only it could tell me what channels all these networks are on!
I've tried cmod 7.1 RC1 as well as 7.0.3, and have updated the radio to the latest 7.15 (if that's even still the latest), but still no channels being read.

Killswitch - looking for honeycomb beta testers

Hey guys! We are about to release an application for tablets and phones that will allow you to put the device into standby just by closing the case.
A closed beta is available to select XDA members, and we would like to test more on people's XOOMs.
You can find the app thread HERE.

i'll beta test it.

What kind of Case must you use for the Xoom, the portfolio one Moto puts out?

Count me in for this one.

Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Guys, developer already wrote that they took 10 (!) testers and others just missed the train, so we shall wait for an open beta test if there will be any (doubt it will)

I got in on the test. I have noticed one problem. If someone stands over you or there is a shadow killswitch will start to engage. It maybe a setting just need to play w/ it more.

Hey everyone, and thanks to all the beta testers! Just an FIY, the app is now out, you can find its thread in the Paid Software Announcement and Discussion forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988126
It has now been tested thorougly on my own Xoom and is working fine! To avoid accidental activations, read the Help and Tips section carefully and set a higher activation delay time.
I have it at 8 seconds and rarely have any issues...

Great, works fine on all my devices

Eer, this expired a month ago!

Hi ... I just purchased this and figured I would be able to spoof a cover by simply covering the sensor (at the opposite location to the camera) with my finger briefly but this doesn't seem to do the trick, but if I cover the front with a pad then it does go off. Is there another sensor I am not seeing?
I also expected it to auto wake when uncovered? If I enable unlock on screen then the volume keys at least seem to wake it up which is a bonus I guess
Sent from my MZ604 using XDA Premium App

The light sensor is quite hard to spot. Its 2.5 cm to the left of the front facing camera.
The autounlock feature is supposed to work like that. Please, read the help file!

Great ... that makes it easier to test ... but I can't get it to wake. It seems the volume key is not even waking it now either.

This functionality is broken by tegra drivers on honeycomb - but works on all other devices...

OK... so are you working to get around this? Or will 3.1 fix it? Or is the function just broken forever? Without it the app is nowhere near as useful :-(

Weve been busy prepping for the release of RCB and i havent had time to tinker with killswitch for a few weeks!
I have thought about it though, and there is a workaround. Trouble is, it would mean the tablet wouldnt really sleep.
However... there is a hack i have been using myself, but it would mean root and some nasty errors on many devices.
Atm you can already do something similar yourself using a key remapper. Search the forums for a compatible one.
I promise though i will add some root functions to killswitch.

Check out this app that's available only on JellyBean, specifically for N7

I was just watching the Google IO Keynote live stream (I know, everyone's ideal way to spend a nice afternoon), and I saw this company that was getting featured by Android called Ekata Systems who launched their app Tapestry at the show. It seems to be a synchronized slideshow between JB devices with some snazzy twists that I've never seen any app do. It works best when you're trying it with a friend/family member so there are at least two devices (phone and/or tablet) to highlight the features though. You can check out the interview here, and the app here.
Talk about bleeding edge...only available on Jelly Bean. It uses this new feature called WiFi Direct that creates a local P2P network between 1:N clients. I'm playing with it with my co-workers and it is pretty sweet.

Interesting! I can see how it would be good for other things, like presentations for businesses and in learning environments.

Funny you mention that because that was exactly the first thing I thought about, which is showing a corporate presentation, or teachers using it to share learning material with students. I'm sure with some tweaks it can easily be made to address those use cases.

Couldn't wait to try this out, seems like an excellent idea for showing photos on my phone without transferring (I have been experimenting with file explorers and ftp/smb serviers)
Ideal opportunity came this evening when my (stock) Nexus S received an OTA update to JB.
Unfortunately, although Tapestry installed, I couldn't get past the white screen with logo on. hmrph.
Side note: Nexus S upgraded to JB but existing ICS flash/bbc iplayer etc still works.

Does Nexus S w/ JB support WiFi Direct?

After investigation, no
I hadn't realised Wi-Fi direct was a hardware requirement, as opposed to a software thingy. The app page is not clear on that, and dev's website is non-existent as far as I can see.

I dug around a little bit, and I think the WiFi chip in Nexus S *can* support WiFi Direct, but the firmware/drivers have not yet included support for it. AFAIK WiFi Direct support is mostly a driver/firmware update. Sorry buddy. Another hook for the man to extract more $$$ from us to upgrade to new devices.

Yeah it seems that way. I've been checking out the xda Nexus S forums too.
Can't really afford to upgrade phone after forking out for N7. I was hoping they would complement each other very well, which is why I didn't buy galaxy nexus. They do work very well together as nifty phone and muscly tablet, both with JB.

It does. I have one. Root and ROM it. I will try this right now. I'll report back. I'll try with my SGSII as well as it does have it.

So I was watching All About Android podcast on TWiT.tv, and guess who they were featuring on this week's episode?!

to ba fair WiFi Direct was already available since ICS but not used it.... until now:
if you want to connect from android device to android device for transmitting media, check this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot
different from tapstry (that is a presentation app) WiFi Shoot is a direct share app, and works with ICS.
this was developed by yours truly, and I developed it exactly because I noticed there was nothing out there for WiFi Direct
I tested it between Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Asus TF300 and Galaxy SII (stock ICS) and all worked fine.
The most problematic of those were the Galaxy Nexus that not always want to connect, but between N7-GalaxySII was flawless.
At the moment the app just works for photo and video but I'll be expanding more, if you guys fancy helping spreading the word about it, I'm really looking forward to see the downloads explode on it.

If anyone is interested in benchmarks, I just gave a try here using a standard TV episode file (170mb).
From network drive (samba) to Galaxy Nexus via AntTek Explorer: 3m:17s (slow, uh?)
From netword drive to my Winwdos PC: 45seconds (better)
From the Galaxy Nexus to a Galaxy SII: 16 seconds (WOW... FAST)
if anyone fancy doing the same kind of test and sharing the result, just to compare and say that I'm not lying because I'm the developer, it would be pretty cool.

WiFi Shoot not working between 2 N7 devices
I will be writing a WiFi Direct app in the near future so I am trying to understand the technologyby using the WiFi Shoot and the WiFi Direct Demo applications but I'm seeing the following behavior.
If I have no WiFi connections to an WiFi Access Point both applications will perform as expected.
If I have an active connection to a WiFi Access Point both applications will bet to the point where an "Invitation to connect" is issued from one device to the other but once "Accept" is selected the status on both devices stays "Available" and no connection is ever made.
I thought WiFi Direct on the Nexus 7 was supposed to work when connected via an Access Point to the outside world...

I'm trying to use WiFi Shoot between 2 Nexus 7 devices while connection to the internet via an Access point but it does work. I get the application started on both devices an I see the devices listed on the connect screen. I select a device on one screen and I see the "Invitation to connect" on the other screen but after I select "Accept" nothing happens. Both devices status stays available and no connection is formed. If I turn the connection off to the access point the application works.
Any ideas?

Hi guys,

i just got an auto-update request a few days ago for Tapestry, and apparently the app now claims support back to Gingerbread (I doubt using WiFi Direct). Now people who are not as fortunate as us to have Jelly Bean devices, ie the rest of my entire family, they are in luck. This app will come in handy for the upcoming holiday season. Not looking forward to seeing the in-laws though (don't worry my wife doesn't read the boards =)

Insane data use

Hello, I'm having problems with the amount of data used on the one. For me normal is around 20mb a day on 3g use. Now I have this..
How is this possible? Is there something wrong? I only have 1gb data and from the first of June to the fifth I have used 250mb..

Only thing I can think of is blinkfeed. Do you have autosync on?

Is it possible to have so much data use just by checking software update? I did that a couple times..

Just today it used 87 mb.. Could it be weather related? My htc clock refreshes every 6 hours, but for the blinkfeed weather you have to turn on sonrthing in location settings. Turned that of now. But it seems very strange to me. Is it not possible that I did it myself because I checked the software updates a couple times? Then I at least now where the problem's coming from.

Get 3G watchdog so you can see what each individual app uses.

check with your provider to see if it matches. the phone could be reporting inaccurately.

I am having a heavy data usage problem as well. I use my phone to listen to music on my motorcycle, streaming GMusic.
My buddy has a Note II, I have the one. We both streamed music from Gmusic all day, same amount of time. Both of us have "high quality" turned off (unchecked).
At the end of the day he had used 100MB, I had used 873MB!! (reported as being used just by Gmusic). Both phones are on the same account so I login to AT&T to check data usage thinking it had to be a flaw. Nope I've used .9gb his phone says .1gb. WTF?
I still haven't figured it out and have used most of my 3GB in one weekend. Suckage.

I've had similar things happen with a couple of HTC's, not Ones. I only worked out how to stop through trail and error and I still don't understand why it happened. What I discovered was that the Mail accounts were constantly eating into my data (140Mb + one day but only 3 short emails actually received into the mailbox). The way I resolved it was to delete the Mail accounts (POP or IMAP, whatever) and then add it as new. This seemed to solve the problem. Never worked out why it was doing it in the first place mind.
The OP says its Android OS, which it could be. But there would be no harm in trying to disable/change apps and accounts to see if makes a difference. And if not methodically you should be any to ID the problem. Fingers crossed.

Also new to HTC One
Introducing myself. I'm also new to the HTC One. Previously had an HTC Evo Design 4G. I'm finding a few things which disappoint me.
1. That home screen. I don't want that feed thing on it, but it is apparently part of the OS. The only way I've found to not see it is to designate one of the other screens as my home screen. I can't actually get rid of it.
2. I just discovered that the HTC Hub soundsets aren't on this phone, and I don't find a way to go to the Hub to get them. I went over to the Evo forum here and downloaded them. I'll hook my phone up to the computer and put them in the appropriate folders.
3. Regarding the sounds, it doesn't appear that I can have different notification sounds for different messages. On the Evo, I had one sound for email, another for text messages, a third for calendar notifications, and a fourth for other notifications. I could tell by the sound if it was something I should look at immediately (text messages), something which could wait (emails), or someplace I was supposed to be (calendar notifications). So unless I there's somewhere in each individual app to customize the sounds, I'll have to either look at everything that comes in or ignore them all until I have time to go through them.
If any of you have any input on how to get the phone to do what I want (i.e. go to HTC Hub for stuff or set up individual notification sounds), let me know. I haven't finished exploring my new phone, so it might give me some pleasant surprises sometime soon.

Hello ,
1. There are a couple custom roms that disable blinkfeed, TranquilOne is one of those roms, or use a different launcher like Apex,Nova,ect.
2. I don't use MyHub so I can't comment on that
3. I'm pretty sure notifications can be separated with different sounds...or maybe just on custom roms. You may have to go into setting of each app and set the sound you want

I'll take a look at TranquilOne.
Back on the Evo, I could select a Sound Scheme and a set of sounds would be applied to several different types of notifications. On the ONE, I had to individually apply each sound to each type of notification. Doable, but a PITA after being used to the Sound Schemes on the Evo.
