Helo my beloved community!
So, since the HD2 utilizes quite a lot of the data connection quite frequently (mostly for weather updates), it would be good to have an option to disconnet the data connection automatically. I presume that this is probably a registry hack. This feature can be found for example in TD2/TP2 Tools. I don't want to wait until HD2 Tolls (or Tweaks or something else) shows up (I hope it will quickly because its always something very welcome!), so maybe someone could answer quickly where to tamper with the registry to do that?
Thx in advance!
any update on this?

I've used an old tweak I found which seems to have done the trick, not really watched it closely enough to find out as not had time yet.

thanks for the reply but ive installed the cab and restarted but it doesnt seem to do anything
I just did the mentioned reg edits but it didn't seem to work. Then installed the cab to countercheck for my mistake. Didnt change the result, didn't work...
Even though I noticed the CacheTime setting existed from the start and was set to 600 (10 minutes).
SuspendResume original value was "~GPRS!"
Data charges are not so much the issue, I'm just concerned it might drain the battery quicker if the connection remains open permanently.

Try to do the regedits like this:
SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime=5 (decimal)
VPNCacheTime=5 (decimal)
It works on my TD2, which to my knowledge has the same WM6.5 as the HD2 does. By the way, did You set the end call button long press to "terminate data connection"? If You did, then UNDO it

Right, You can't check it, as none of the HD2's hardware buttons are configurable Just ignore that question. Anyway, I think Ive figured it out to some point. It looks like the registry hack works whenever the phone connects to the web to for example browse the internet or update stocks. But it DOESN'T WORK if the phone connects to download weather updates. It looks like the Sense weather app is somehow preventing the data connection to shut down. But I think it only happens when automatic weather updates downloading is set.
hmm you do appear to be correct... now why is the weather app hanging onto the data session
Well, just tried setting both CacheTime and VPNCachetime and when checking mail I can confirm it works.
Thanks a lot! Mail checking schedule set up.

absolutely no idea I think someone smarter than us should try to find the answer. Ive already done a rather brief look around the registry and tried to find something that would get the weather app such privileges but with no success. Im thinking of addressing a new topic about that, so its more visible to the community

Twitter app doesn't close the data connection either
This is really annoying me. My battery was draining fast and could not find out why. Now I have found out that it is because I am constantly connected to Mobile Web on O2. I have tried terminating it but it starts again. Even after unchecking auto update for weather and twitter it still turns on and never off. I have mail set to download automatically but if i turn that off too then what is the point of having this phone and feature?
I have tried the setting in HD Tweak app to turn off data after 1 minute but noy joy.
Any help? Pleaseee.

Theres one more thing you should check out. The biggest connection-demander was always the NOT PROPPERLY CLOSED OPERA. If you use the opera browser, be sure to close it NOT with the X in the upper right corner, but through Opera Menu->exit function. If you close it with X, it only goes minimized and does not shut down the connection. Even if you close it, because opera is still running, after some time it will want to refresh a page and conect again. Thats why you have the imression that the phone connects by itsself. Thats not the phone, its opera

I did the above and it works thanks!
Also as stated, weather, opera etc will keep your data connection active...so end task and it should shut down a few seconds later.

I have installed a shortcut to taskmgr in my quicklinks - so if i see something constantly running i end task...it shuts it down rather than minimising it which is what happens when you hit the little X in most cases. The taskmgr tip is in the sticky at the top of the page.

Yes I know what you mean but you can't kill the weather app or twitter in this fashion as they run within Sense itsself. Besides, killing processes is not the point. The point is to have an automatic data disconnection, so you dont have to do or kill anything

Hey guys,
Can any one tell me what the VPN cache time was originally set as?
so what's the deal with no speed deal in froyo. i haven't really seen any mention of it by anyone else. i've installed the regular foyo and now again just installed the clockwork version of froyo (after a data wipe) and both couldn't retain phone numbers in the speed dial list.
is there a way we could extract a db or file and manually edit our speed dial lists since it doesn't seem to work setting it up on the phone itself?
wow... can't believe no one's responded.
maybe i should rephrase the question/concern:
does your speed dial work with froyo?
maybe i'm the only one having problems.
You might want to wait more than six hours before flipping out. Not everyone lives on these forums.
actually i'm far from flipping out... but thanks officer
it is what it is really... i was just surprised is all.
Works for me, just tested it out.
Method that works for me:
-Go to Dialer.
-Hold the number you want to map someone to (in my test case, #2)
-When prompted, select the number you want assigned
-Exit Dialer
-Reboot phone
-Re-enter dialer
-Test call

Like DivinityCycles stated:
1. Go to Dialer.
2. Hold down number you want to map someone to.
3. Select the number you want assigned.
4. Check by holding down number.
or the regular way, but dont search for the contact; seems it doesn't work that way, just scroll to the person you want assigned to that number.
both methods has worked for me. hope this helps.

Interesting, running KaosFroyo 31, when I go into my dialer (ie phone? where I'd call somebody from, correct?) and hold down a digit it doesn't do anything w/a long press, even a super long press.
OK, just learned via a Google search that LP hides the "dialer" - are there dialers (free) on the market, or is there a way for me to access dialer on an LP phone?
PS - Should note I'm running an Eris w/2.2 Kaos 31 on it, but I don't think that'll make a diff
I'm in the same situation in which chimpsnest is (even a super long press to the number doesn't trigger any pop-up) but googling didn't helped me.
Any help from your side ?

I had the same problem on cm 6.1. I found that I had to push the number I wanted to assign, then hit the + sign on bottom left and the contact list pops up, then pick the contact to assign to the number. Hope that helps, if you still haven't fixed it.

Hey All,
Didn't see it here, but I saw a trick to improve the Droid 2 call quality. I saw it for the dx, and gave it a shot.
On the phone's dail pad, enter:
##PROGRAM
Passcode is 000000 (six zeros)
Option 4
I chose 13k, best sound for me, try different ones. You can change back anytime. Just do the same as above.
My call quality was muddy before, now its soupy.
hey im kinda new, could you explain what your doing a little more for me please
We are modifying our phones way of communicationg with the towers. it has made phone calls much better for me. You can always change back. Thanks.
what is default ? id like to know before i try this =P
subsoniic said:

The default on the Droid 2 is EVRC. Cheers.
I wonder what the difference is between EVRC-B and 13k.. ?
I remember EVRC-B for the Droid Incredible but I didn't have 13k as an option. It made a huge difference for me on the Incredible.
EVRC is the default and will work on every cell tower.. EVRC-B and I believe 13k is not available in all areas, some towers don't have the ability to use the other codecs. If it's not compatible you will hear a series of beeps when you try and make a call. Just remember that you made the switch and if you run into problems just change it back to EVRC.
I'm going to try this trick on my Droid X now! Thanks novagraduate!
I prefer my call quality creamy but I'll take soupy any day.. lol.
Thx ! Gonna try this wen I get off work...why didn't they just do this from factory ?

That's because it uses older technology. I have had it set like this for a week, and nothing but better sound. The other settings may be newer, but they seem to deliver muddy audio on my D2. Night and day for me.
Wow must say...big improvement.. thx !

thanks, this worked awesome... random thought... got to playin around inside that menu, and there is n option for "data calll" option 8...
anybody have any idea what that could be?
Also, just like the Evo (possibly all android phones ?) *#*#4636#*#* is another menu... not sure of its use for this phone just yet..
i was wondering why the call quality was so weird sounding when i first got the phone. will try this when i get off work. hopefully i will notice a difference
...hey guys, .. i would really like to use this code to change my call quality, however, everytime i type in the letters & press send, i'm taken to the Market!!!...any ideas why??

Could you tell us what mods if any you have made to your Droid2?
And what version it is (i.e. 2.2.0 or 4.0)?
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Maybe I'm missing something too. First I couldn't figure out how to type in ##PROGRAM. I figured you meant ##7764726 (using the soft key dial pad). when I pressed the enter key, it made a call and the line said "all circuits are busy"
#EDIT#
I figured it out. ##7764726 and press the green handset call soft button.
New Droid 2 owner. Love everything about it except the phone quality.
I tried the ##PROGRAM thing and got to the options screen but I think they may have changed the order of the selections or something from when this thread was made.
Option 4 for me takes me to something that says "SID/NID pair" and I get a bunch of options for SID/NID1, SID/NID2, etc.
Nothing for 13k or EVRC or anything like that. And I can't find those options under any of the other categories either.
Anyone know what I should do here or how I get to the right place?
Thanks.

The menu option should be called "Vocoder"
I've tried press from the phone pad : ##PROGRAM and it actual dials the # instead of the hidden menu. Currently using the GummyJar 2.5 w/ GalxS theme, no luck. The other hidden menu worked : *#*#4636#*#*
Restored my stock d2 rom, I was able to get into both hidden menus. Anyone else can confirmed the GummyJar 2.5 rom?
Also, while being on the Stock D2 rom, I made the changes to 13k but would that setting stick if I revert back to GJar 2.5?

I do not get that option in the menu. When I go to ##PROGRAM (password 000000) here is the menu I get:

06 Test Mode
07 Data Call Settings
08 SMS/MMS Settings
09 HTTP proxy settings

And that's it. I've looked under all of those options and there is no vocoder thing in those either.
Under number 05 Mobile P-REV it is set to P_REV_6 (there are options for 9, 4, 3 or 1). I have no idea what that does though or if it's related to Vocoder at all. Haven't played with this setting yet but am willing to experiment if it's generally believed I wouldn't brick my phone or something weird.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this just a thing with my phone or version?
sweet, worked great. much better that was the only thing i really didn't like about the phone, a camera fix would be great also.
Hi everyone,
I've got an ATT I337 running the awesome Hyperdrive ROM version 17.1. Several of us --but clearly not all of us!-- over in that thread have noticed a problem with incoming calls. I think there's a setting somewhere that can fix it, so I'm opening it to a wider audience by posting it here, in hopes someone from this group will know what to tweak.
Here's the specific problem.
If my cell phone receives a call from a known contact "Bob" and Bob's contact info (being a U.S. phone number) is 317-555-1212, so far the phone seems to recognize the call as coming from Bob. However, it reports it as coming from +317-555-1212. When I go into the call log and try to return the call, it dials +317-555-1212, and the extra + causes the system to interpret it as an international call attempt, and the call fails. Cannot be completed as dialed, the message says. If it's an non-contact number, the + is still added. IT's not JUST for contacts.
Let's say Bob leaves a message. The voicemail indicator shows and it says offers to dial *86, the correct access code for voice mail for ATT as I understand it. However, tapping that actually dialed +11 then my ten digit phone number. Call fails.
At the dialpad, pressing and holding 1 to invoke voicemail has the same problem.
In Contacts, contacts are NOT listed with +s, and clicking the call button for them makes them dial OK without a + being prepended.
So, this looks like some international feature is being enabled that I'm not sure how to turn off. Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? Sorta puts a crimp in the basic phone functionality. Seriously, who actually calls anyone these days? But it would be good to fix.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what might be at the root of this, I would appreciate your help!
Marc
I am confused. Does this only happen on the Hyper rom or all roms for you.
Not sure how anyone else does their contacts. But, I always enter numbers as 1-555-555-5555 even if local.
My voicemail number is set as +15555555555
I never had issues--
I remember some talk of that on Hyper awhile back. But, never paid attention--
Only happens on Hyperdrive. Or at least, I can say I never saw it on stock. Hyper is the only ROM I've actually gotten so far as to run while SIM card is inserted. :good:
My contacts are almost all US based and are just ten digits, no leading 1. I did try editing the contact to my work cell phone by adding a 1 to it, and calling my S4 phone. It still was registered as +317-555-1212 format and return call didn't work.
So, it's not really about the way the contacts are stored, more about how the phone interprets incoming calls.
Try the 1+ and see what happens. Just do a few of your most used numbers to start--
Can you put a different dialer on phone and see

Just edited above, adding 1 to the way contacts are stored doesn't change the behavior. I can certainly try a different dialer and see what happens, but it seems to be based on how incoming calls are interpreted. I'm guessing there's a build.prop item or somesuch that needs a-tweaking.
Marc
so you changed the contact number to 1-555-555-5555 with hyphens
i ran hyper for quite a bit awhile back never any issues. of course could be something new--
i am not thinking rom or a lot more would have issue--
I did some tests.
On the phone in question, I edited the google contact for a test phone number. I then called the phone from that tested phone number.
It didn't matter whether the contact was saved in the formats:
317-555-1212
1-317-555-1212
+1-317-555-1212
+317-555-1212
In all cases, the incoming call was recognized as +317-555-1212, which isn't a valid call-back number, and return calls failed. Since this only happened when I put a custom ROM on, I'm sure it's something buried inside the ROM. However, I'm at a loss as to where to check various settings.
Gotta be something deep in there...
If all else fails you can Odin back to stock, reformat your internal card and reroot.
Under Phone Settings/Additional Settings/My Phone Number--is it in format 15555555555
Also, and I don't know where to check, your country code may not be set. I don't know if we even have that setting anymore or would it be in Build Prop.
Probably under ro.something

Interesting thought. I had gone into the dialer settings, and checked the Current Country... it listed United States of America. Then I stopped. But looking further it turns out that in the Assisted Dialing settings just below that, there might be stuff that matters. Currently my assisted dialing is OFF. The settings inside are:
Country code: 1
IDD prefix: 011
NDD prefix 1
City/area code: 131
National number length: 11
The area code probably doesn't matter, but I'm interested in the national number length. Ours tend to be 10. Could you please see what your settings are in there, and let me know if anything is different?
I can always backup (ug, safestrap backup), return to stock, poke around, re-root/restore. But if you could take a quick peek I'd be grateful.
Thank you!
Marc
I tried an alternative dialer... it acted just like the stock with the + thing.
I am on a rom that doesn't have those settings--sorry
Thanks anyway! I experimented changing the last setting to 10, and enabling assisted dialing, and it didn't change anything. Sigh.
Ok, you can still go back to stock with Odin. Or, try one of iB's roms they are very good too, I use them almost exclusively now--
Good Luck--:good:
Yeah. I've been back to stock a couple times with Odin. I've got the process down pat! I prefer the hyperdrive rom if I can work through the few small warts. It's just such an elegantly crafted piece of work. Worth the effort, if I eventually sort out the call issue. Appreciate your help.

If you haven't done so yet i suggest noting the issue in the hyper thread ... either the Verizon or att one depending on your phone. Seems to be a bunch of us... more folks report it the common thread will emerge.

Same issue here i can not dial voicemail and can not call a number back without typing the number in manually. Deal breaker for me hope it gets fixed soon so i can go back to Hyperdrive. Or somebody comes up with some sort of fix.

Not sure if this will help 100%, but I am sure i can't hurt.
Since you're rooted you can go ahead and install this by flashing the zip in recovery.
After you have booted back up, open the new incall modz control app.
Then hit the three lines on the top left to open the control menu options.
Scroll down and click the advanced hidden menu section.
This section opens up several hidden menus.
You can look through and see what may give you the options you're looking for.
I suggest using the "apn unlocking" to give you access to edit the apn setting.
You can also play around in the "phone testing menu" section and look within the field test secrion to force LTE.
I must say BE CAREFUL because you could change a setting that may require a restore/reinstall of your rom!.
I have played with a lot of settings and never done any real damage, seems like it would just close the app of the option wasn't compatible with my phone.
The hidden menus are also accessible via a dialer code (which varies per device variant and there are playstore apps as well, don't remembwr the names.
I only suggest the mod, because it is part of ny oZoP project and it will give you lots of customizations for the caller id, plus the advanced hidden menu that i beleive you could use. Like i said though, there are other options and the choice is yours.
Good luck

Well it looks like I don't need to answer the first question, but I will just mention for other users, the mod has been tested and confirmed working on every "stock" based rom without issue.
As far as the menu options not showing, it looks to me if the setup you are running has had the files needed for the options debloated or possibly that variant doesn't include them by default.
I have attatched a flashable zip of the files needed, but I DO RECOMMEND MAKING A FULL BACKUP just in case.
After you get your backup finished just flash the zip in recovery and proceed back to the app for the extra options.
Good luck again and let me know how that goes. Your feedback is valuable to me so I can ensure that everyone gets the same experiance as I intended
