I've noticed that even when I have 3g or 4g, certain apps never connect to the Internet. The apps I've noticed that have this problem are sound Hound, Google now search, spotify and words with friends. These apps will fail to connect to the Internet and say I have no signal, yet I can open Google Chrome and open a Web page no problem (even pages I don't visit that aren't stored in cache) or use the Chive app.

I want to reach out to others here before I take my Moment back to Best Buy to exchange it for another Moment.
My signal strength fluctuates wildly just sitting in the same spot. With the Hero I got a constant 5 of 6 bars, but the Moment will vary between 0 and 5 of 6 bars. But it's more complicated than that.
It seems that whenever the EVDO data kicks in, it causes the signal strength to drop to 0 or 1 bar. Once the data is idle, the EVDO indicator turns grey and then changes from EV(^v) to EV(D). At that point the single strength will return to 3 or 4 bars.
At times, though not as consistently or often, the EVDO connection will fall back to 1xRTT and will switch between them every few minutes. This will occur even when the signal strength bars are in the 3 to 4 range.
So, the my questions are...
Does the signal strength apply to the data signal or just the voice signal?
Is there any legitimate reason for the signal strength to vary wildly like I've described, even when sitting in the same recliner where the Hero had a constant 5 bar connection and data service that never wavered?
Is anyone else having signal strength and/or data service issues?
Should I exchange the Moment for another Moment or will I likely experience the same issue?
I flashed bionix 1.3 onto my bell vibrant, and everything seemed okay except for two (Big) things... One of which I've seen other people having troubles with, the other seems completely unique to me.
A) I have no 3g connection at all to any data whatsoever
B, and this is the one I'm completely pissed off about) I have no USB connection available to me. Whenever I plug in my phone to any usb, be it my laptop or even the wall charger... It shuts down and goes into a sort of sleep mode where it flashes between an empty gray battery and the "busy, loading" ring... Over and over. I can't turn it back on until I unplug it. So I can't flash the stock back onto it with odin because it doesn't connect to odin for more than 4 seconds before going into sleepytime mode. This happens when it's on, when it's in recovery mode, or download mode. ANY time I plug anything into the usb.
Oh, and also my clockwork isn't recognizing my internal /data/ so it can't mount it.. Am I boned?
I have noticed on the Play Store that they're are applications which claim that they can boost your signals.
My question is, do they actually work?
Would like to know, as I have limited space on my phone.
I was updating to Froyo yesterday but I still had SPrecovery installed and to get rid of it I had to flash the defult non rooted 2.1 which would reset my phone, so naturally I used Mybackup Pro to save all my apps and data. So I went ahead and got all my apps back on my phone but for some reason none of the free apps are showing up as installed in the android market. So despite having the apps on my phone the android market doesn't know I own them. Can anyone help me in making the android store recognize all my apps. I figure I could manually go and install all the apps already on my phone, but wont this take up double the space if I already have the apps?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy Desire has started acting strangely today. Wifi works OK, phone signal works OK, what doesn't seem to work all of a sudden is the data signal. Any data signal, 3G, HDSPA or even GPRS - there is no icon in the notification bar and no access to the mobile internet.
I've tried:
* rebooting my phone
* turning APN and on again with and without Wifi
* checking my APN settings (OK)
* reinstalling the newest radio (one that ends in 20 - was working fine up to now)
* reinstalling my version of 2.2 (Defrost 2.5a)
* checking my carrier's site to see if there are any probs (Virgin Mobile)
* Oh and I've travelled about 50 miles today on my commute from outside London to central London with no signal at any time so I assume it isn't a local antenna problem.
All to no avail. II first noticed it at 0700 this morning - so it has now been like this for nearly 12 hours. The icon and connection remains stubbornly off. If I wasn't getting wifi or signal I would be really worried, but the fact that I can fills me with hope that it is either a setting or user error.
My N1's been working perfectly since I bought it from Google in January... until today. I have a good signal and can make / receive voice calls and texts. However, I'm not getting any data and no 3G / 2G etc. icon is showing on the bar next to the signal strength icon. I've tried going in and out of airplane mode, going to 2G only, rebooting, removing battery and reseating the SIM and SD cards.
Vodafone have confirmed there's no issue on their side (other Vodafone users nearby have aren't having problems) and have even swapped my SIM with no effect. I phoned the HTC help line (very quick and helpful BTW), who tried setting up a new manually defined APN. Nothing's worked.
So my Desire's been working perfectly since I got it on Saturday. Today I've noticed that it's not using mobile data. Not an issue at home with my wi-fi or at work* but it's irritating. I haven't changed any settings and triple checked that every box that should be checked is. Anyone else with a Desire having this problem? Is there a T-mobile hiccup today?
Though I can't see how it would make a difference, today was the day my old number got ported over. Oh. They mentioned there would be connectivity problems during the transition period.
Has anyone had any signal problems or data connection problems with their desires, like no signal for calls or their data connection changing from edge to G all the time?

I have a very weird problem regarding adb and Android. I am developing a little script to synchronize a folder's content with another one on the handset using PHP-CLI and ADB. I have no problem with using ADB over PHP but Android has a problem with files pushed via ADB.
Let's say my script found a local folder that is not on the device, to be more accurate, a music folder:
Code:
adb push /Volumes/Data/Music/Example.mp3 /sdcard/Music/Example.mp3
The file is successfully pushed BUT is neither recognized by Google Play Music nor by Android File Transfer for Mac. But I see the file via
Code:
adb shell ls /sdcard/Music/
and also see it in every file manager I have on my phone.
Why is that and how can I get over it?
my problem is that my device (LG Optimus L7 II Dual) has a 2gigabyte free internal memory in hand for apps,musics,movies and others,now i have bought a new SD card (8gigabyte) for it,but, the device only know the internal memory az sdcard0 and every app i install has putten in internal memory.
how can i move apps to external sd card (it doesn't have any root method till now) and how can i declare the new sd card as the default sd card to my device for whole proccesses????
I know that it's possible to determine the data connection type (WIFI/or cellular) through Android, but is it possible to determine the cellular connection type and strength?
I have an app that downloads some images and I have found that on GPRS or on 3G with weak signal that this download process slows up the app unacceptably. What I want to do is say that if you have either WIFI or a strong and fast data connection then download; otherwise display a default placeholder image.
I'm writing an app to monitor detailed radio data coming off the phone that I'm sending back to my own server that is collecting this information from a number of different devices. The purpose is to analyze the data from all devices, and generate a kind of "real-time network coverage" pattern.
The data I'm looking for is "Eb/No". From what I understand this is interchangeable with the term "Ec/Io". My first approach lead me to the new Signal Strength (http://developer.android.com/reference/ android/telephony/SignalStrength.html) support in Android 2.1. This is great, however you can only get Ec/Io values for "CDMA" and "EVDO" networks. My problem is that I'm on ATT, where I'm "WCDMA".
I was hoping Android would give me the "CDMA" values from Signal Strength changes (since "WCDMA" is somewhat similiar to "CDMA"), however the update has the gsm flag set to true, and it's giving me values for the gsm signal strength and gsm bit error rate instead.
For example, in my PhoneStateListener:
CODE:....................
Today I woke up to my phone charging by the night... but it downcharged to 15% of batterry. I reboot it and find out that my SD card showed up info of being "empty". The minitool partition wizard on a PC shows me that info:
no no, the memory card is 8GB not 32MB. How to recover the partitions? Also, the SD card has been partitioned for use with app2sd programs with this tut: [URL], because my phone (HTC Explorer "Pico") has a very small amount of internal memory. The rom was stock though.
Of course I could re-format it, but I don't want to, because the data stored there was very special to me. I want to recover it.
Android file transfer won't recognise my HTC one running 4.3 when connected,I tried using it on Windows on the same Mac via boot camp and it works, it's just the Android file transfer which is not detecting the device it says "connect the device via the cable" well something like that.
View 4 Replies View Related when I connect my Sony Xperia T to my home computer, the ADB driver will be installed properly. When I connect the same phone to my work computer, Windows just doesn't want to accept the drivers. The following things are equal:
- USB debugging is always on on the phone
- Both computer are running Windows 7 64bit
- On both computers I am pointing the Windows driver installation at the same folder with drivers downloaded from Sony.
The thing that is different is the device ID that Windows reports in the Details dialogue from Device manager:
On the home PC it is:
USBVID_0FCE&PID_5182&REV_0228&MI_01
USBVID_0FCE&PID_5182&MI_01
On the other PC where things go wrong it is:
USBVID_0FCE&PID_5182&REV_0228
USBVID_0FCE&PID_5182
So it seems Windows is not recognizing the phone as a composite device (MI is it multiplexing identifier?). I double checked that USB debugging is always on and also rebooted Windows.
Some professional reviews (engadget and phonescoop) have noted signal strength issues with the Droid 2. For example, see:
Review: Motorola Droid 2 : The Three S's (Phone Scoop)
Particularly for those who have/had other Verizon phones, have you noticed any signal strength problems, trouble with calls, or slow data?
Ive hooked my phone up to my pc so many times without error when I had Windows on my PC...and used ODIN to flash back to stock after a mishap.... I cant even count.. within last two weeks Ive moved to ubuntu instead of windows..I set up everything on my phone on ubuntu..sdk and everything...so Ive been building a rom for the fassy and i was testing something I made and something went wrong..so I now have no recovery..no way to get my phone back..Im up and running on the rom but it will not due ( no gaaps ) . So when i plug my phone into a windows pc it will not recognize it for ODIN...in device manager it labelled as " Linux file-cd gadget USB device" and cant install the driver to use ODIN.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAm using Xperia Neo V (2.3.4),stock Rom. Why these stock apps use data?
1. system.shell
2. system.root
3. keypad (i dont use google voice stuff by the way)
In a single month they use lotsa data running into MBs instead of mere KBs
When I setup my A100 (running the ICS OTA update), I didn't have an SD card installed. It created it's own "fake" sdcard which applications use.
Now that I've added a real external sdcard, I can't get the applications to use that for their data instead of the "fake" location.
I've copied everything from the "fake" location to the new sdcard.
I suspect the problem is that the new, real sd card is called "external_sd" and the old, "fake" location is called "sdcard".
Do I need to reinstall those applications?
I am NOT trying to move applications to the external SD card; I just wants apps that normally store data there to do so instead of in the "fake" location.
Also, I am not rooted.
I'm looking for some apps which can let me compress the data because my ISP provides unlimited 3G although the speed drops to 15kilobytes/s (not to be confused with kilobits) after 500MB of usage. Is it possible that i can compress the data usage with an app so that it takes longer for me to use 500MB.
Also i mostly listen to music videos on youtube as i'm driving around so are there any other alternative apps which allow me to listen to music but can run on a speed of 15kB/s?

An example would be ADW as a launcher. Right now, it boots and immediately goes to the welcome screen for a fresh install of ADW. I'd like to make a default theme for ADW so that when someone installs the ROM, they can avoid that initial setup of ADW.
