[Q] 2G-3G Switch - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am looking for a app that automatically from 2G to HSDPA Changes when I use the Internet browser or other applications. 2G will be used only for background information.

there is a wide variety of switchers / apps that do this on the market.
the one i use is widgetsoid its free too. just place it on your homescreen and select to toggle between 2g/3g/wifi what ever. as well as a load of other features.

Yes I know that tool but i need one that do it automatik

i have never come across an app that does this automatically, besides how long does it take to touch a icon that does this...... 0.5 - 1.0 seconds....
damn thats a long time lol

Yes I know
It was only a question

Have you tried app called superpower? You can set specific application rules around connection types - must be rooted.

It was exellent on Froyo, but on Gingerbread this exellent apk have some problems. On first, some wunder to much drain batery (see in battery history after some time installed)), and especially with 2g-3g automatic...I was tried early after first time installed Gingerbread.
I was ask Chainfire, if can some make or update for Gingerbread functionality.

To be fair, Widgetsoid doesn't really have a proper 2G 3G switch. What it does is give you a shortcut that takes you to the Network settings.
I don't think there is any Widget that can do that.

Market Pipe

I love it. Can get rid of unwanted publishers from your list. Just wish I knew how to get rid of more than one publisher
Add a pipe character ("Alt+S" on the G1, or "?123" + "ALT" + "|" on the default virtual keyboard. You should have something like this: "IndiaNIC|Netmite" (without the quotes).
Thanks! No more top sexy lady apps, themes or dictionary apps for me
Now if only it was a regular application and not a crappy widget.
Wow, pretty harsh...
It's a damn good widget. If you want a application for this then just use the market. Honestly, there is a difference between being a complete **** and constructive criticism.

I think their point was why have an app running all the time when you only need to have it running when you are accessing the market.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it truly just running when we set it to update the widget? Or is it constantly running in the background even if it isn't accessing any data and using up precious battery life? I have alot of widgets installed and it doesn't slow my phone down or drain my battery any faster so I was under the impression it didn't always use up resources. Maybe i'm wrong

Every app or widget that is running is using up some resources how much depends on what the function of the app/widget and how well programmed it is and any limitations because of being coded in Java.
At the very least it'll be using up ram since most people don't have swap files, nor should they for various reasons.

Thanks for the clarification
This widget does not use any resources other than some of your memory just like any other app. When you have it set up as an active widget, it uses resources when it checks for new apps. This is no different than any other app that polls for updates. As soon as it finishes fetching data, it shuts itself down. The bulk of the work is done by on the server so really the widget really does very little to use the phones resources. If you have it set to update every 5 minutes and get 100 apps, you might drain your battery pretty quickly.

Fancy widget?

Anybody have the apk for fancy widget?
Yes, I do. I'm not at home right now, and I'm not sure when I will be home. I'm on a short vacation and the apk file is on my desktop computer at home. I found it on the internet if you want to look for it, or you can wait until I get back home (which will be Monday morning--I think).
I tried searching for it on google, but I think all of sites were forced to take it down due to HTC's C&D.
I love the look of Fancy Widget, but I'm constantly having a problem with the time not updating. The task is not being killed since it's on my task killer's ignore list. It seems to happen at random times...sometimes while the phone is in standby, other times while in use. Is there a solution for this?

It's funny you say that because BW has always worked perfectly for me, and for that reason I switched back to it. That's fine with me because I just saw a skin I really like, and I e-mailed the dev to see if he could modify it slightly. He cooperated and now BW looks very very close to the Sense look (other than the weather icon being on the right rather than centered).
This is the best HTC Sense-like clock. It looks even better than Weather Widget with h7c skin, but has this strange update issue, when I have to wait sometimes for clock to update.
BTW It shows us how Market is NOT open and without control . It's better than AppStore and we can always use *.apk, but it's sad that if some app isn't good for hTC for example, they simply delete it.
It wasn't deleted, HTC asked the developer to take it down I beleive. It was taken down by their choice from what I read, and probably a good idea. It was so similar to the HTC one, I'm sure they have rights on it

The Market never claimed to be open or without control, its just a heck of a lot less demanding/strict than the app store... The underlying code for Android is open but anything that manufacturers or devs add to the code itself (IE: Sense UI, Motoblur etc...) along with the apps on the market, are proprietary and therefore NOT open (unless otherwise stated).
no weather info is displayed on v1.2.4
How do you check if there is no virus or malware (calling international numbers i.e.) in any of these files? Is there any other way to check this, besides blind trust?

Should say in manifest (request privileges) if it can make phone calls -- which this app only asks for GPS & Internet access.

Wonderful job
dzo, incubus26jc, kallt_kaffe are the leaders.
Not to forget OTHERS and you as well th3lolz who make things easier.
I wished this was here when it was there, but this is now and that was then.
This will really help the ones without browsing/data plans. Great contribution!
is the link broken ?
edit : probably its just my connection, still can't download it.
aa
Thanks, this is great
its so clean without the unnecessary icons and more space for other apps
EDIT: One question, I tried out Flex dialer and i cant seem to get it to work, I just get an "I'm sorry" error when it dials my voice number.
aa
th3lolz said:
Yeah I had the same problem, go to the flex dialer configuration settings, and change the dial pattern from "A,B,2,C#" to "A,p,B,2,C#"
It no longer gives the "I'm sorry" error and works great for outgoing calls
I'll add it to the OP too to make it easier in the future, I thought that it was just me.

hi
I have htc elf
I want to know that can I install it on my phone or not ?
tnx

This is nice...
I just installed in my vogue, and all work as well.
Camera work fine, with the setting pop-up when i touch the icon, except for zoom function, if i touch it, camera would stop.
With task killer, i see 2 running services that usually not show up in other build.
"android keyboard" and "pl.magot.vet..."
does it took a lot of memory ?
it won't close at all..
EDIT : it's ancal process, can i uninstall it as well as GPS test, because my vogue doesnt have GPS.
Hope would be more performance improvement with next release, and might be some black theme as default...
Btw, eclair + no data plan and app replacement would be nice to have.
Thank you th3lolz for this build,
i think i will keep it run it my vogue untill there's a new release with more light build.
Here's another one, while the screen locked, signal bar would present the actual signal of the phone, when you unlocked it, the signal bar would drop, but looks like it doesnt effect when i making a call.
Is there a way to get Incubus26Jc's Darkstar theme without having to install the his androidinstall.tar? They have all the other theme's androidupdate, but none for the ROM's theme. >.<

You could try to unpack the androidupdate.tar and your android ROM you like, find the different, do some adjustment script, and repackage it again. I think you could use some different theme for your android....
th3lolz,
with this build, i got a lot of missed call, the screen doesn't wake up for incoming call. i hope this will fixed soon.

Yes, i already try all the android from all dev;
all incubus android, all myn's android, also dzo and Kallt_Kaffe, and i prefer to choose your build for my daily use.
With incubus' build, it also happen, and all things more slower then your build, and i prefer to choose not using rogue tools for more battery life.
With your build there's no need to use rogue tools.
And more clean from unused apps and more responsive when i push some button ( -menu, dialer, home, etc ... )
Sorry if i ask you too much...
and thanks for your support...

[APP] Auto shutdown app

I am working on an application which will shut down my sons media player only captivate at a specific time. I have it working but am not particularly good at drawing or coming up with good ideas for an icon for it.
Does anybody have any ideas?
AutoShutdown.apk
FYI I built it for 2.2 but tested it on 2.3 (my captivate) and it requires root access (it essentially creates a service that at a specific time calls "reboot -p".
Update Info:
1.10 Changed to using an Alarm.
1.5 Moved the Save button to the bottom.
1.4 Revamped to use a Handler instead of a thread thus reducing the overhead because I am not checking the time every 45 seconds, I just delay the shutdown for however many milliseconds it would take to get to the requested time.
1.3 Fixed the not shutting down issue (at least under 2.3, I will test on 2.2 tonight). Added alpha channel to the icon.
1.2 Added simple icon
1.1 Added an Enabled checkbox. Setting the shown time to the last time entered. Fixed killing the old thread.
1.0 Basically worked with whatever the last time you entered
Well this worked in testing via the debugger but for some reason my sons phone isn't turning off...
1.3 fixes this problem. I was being a bit too aggressive on waiting for a thread to end.
I have found that 2.2's reboot command does not accept the -p parameter which means that this will not work. If some one has another method I would be more than happy to add it in.
Only tested to work on 2.3, primarily under Fusion XII. Its been working fine for me.
very cool idea., any idea if it'll work on ICS?
No clue since i don't have a device with ICS.
can i use in motorola milestone or other device ?

I'd suggest a power icon with clock hands on it as the icon. If you want I could make a quick one for you.

That would be neat. My wife made that one up pretty quickly.
I have just verified that the code still works under Android 4.2.2.
cron4phone app, free on google play, does same, and also lets you vary schedule by day, etc, and schedule many other tasks as well. you do need root for it to work.
Good to know. I had originally made it for my sons phone.
Hello kevria,
Are you still working on this project? I have a couple of suggestions.

I havent been but I still have the source code so could modify it as needed. I also havent had a reason to use this since my son's android device died.
My condolences
Well, I can't find a countdown shutdown app anywhere, was wondering if you could make do so.
Not on a specific time, but like 1 Hour or 10 minutes count down.
Hope you will be interested :fingers-crossed:
I will see if I can get the source to build and make the change. Im pretty sure I had it calculating out the amount of time from now until the shutdown time so it should be simple to modify the code.
The app isnt building due to a xml error that I will have to track down when I have time. You could use the app as is and figure out what 1.5 hours from now is...
Hello try creating a shortcut on your home screen, go to the application manager.
I have lost the source code to this app so I won't be able to make any changes.

[ROM] [MIUI JB] Fully working

MIUI 2.10.12 ported from MIUI Passion.
I spent a fair lot of time trying to find the best MIUI so suit our HTC. And trying different methods for diffing and mods, from 2.9.21 til 3.1.11, porting from crespo, maguro, passion, P500 etc. This is the only version i could get to have most of the features working.
Since i don't ask for any contribution or donation, so for whoever is not happy with it, don't use but don't criticize my work trying to find reasons why not to use it.
A thanks is enough if think it worth.
If you want to change it, modified it, and so on, do it, no permission needed.
I'm not a full (probably not even partly) developer so i won't be able to answer to your questions on a daily basis.
Use it at your own risk
Flashing instructions:
Wipe Data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Install
Reboot
Working:
- Everyrthing that works in CM10 - on top headset icon works too
- themes, lockscreen and all that
Not Working:
- torch, use from store
- you may find, i didn't yet
Hints:
- If have issues turning wifi on, put it in Airplane mode, try turning on then reboot
- if laggy long press home button to clear memory
- CPU control via toolbox app

Hi, on MIUI all apps are on the screen(s), no apps menu. T'hat's how MIUI works (if this is what you asked for). You can put icons on top of each other and this will create a folder icon with all apps you want to group and you can name it i.e apps. When installing a new app, an icon on the screen will be created automatically
If you ask about managing apps, it is in settings like usual (choose full settings to display, not common settings)

This one is better, by quite a bit. It's way more usable. I've noticed better battery life and faster keyboard input as compared to zeubea's CM10...
no bugs so far, i'll report if i find any. (apart form the system space which is next to empty)
it runs very smoothly
but how can we get 512MB RAM???? and we can't have enough free ram.. just around 30mb?
Hey thanks for this great rom. I have asked a friend to try this rom out since she has a htc legend and I don't. She is very happy with the rom but she reported back two problems.
1. wifi does not turn on (this began to happen right after she setup an APN for her gprs network) (also she tried putting the phone in airplane mode.. turning the wifi on and then rebooting.. didnt work)
2. vpn doesnt seem to be working anymore. is this the case for everyone else also?
thanks again for your hard work mate

Hi,
Yes, the memory shown under "About phone", "RAM and "Total" is wrong. The "Available" figure is accurate for both internal and SD card. These totals are coming from ported
Is there a fix for the wifi issue?
Everything indeed works.Great rom.
Lockscreen will be laggy if not changed to one without spectrum. Rest seems to work good, if not better than on other roms. Testing battery life atm.
