Disable GSM!!!!

My old device was htc wizard. There was an option to disable gsm (phone) only. Is there any way to do this in g1? I just want to avoid calls and in the same time to use wifi. Airplane mode doesn't work for me, because it disables wifi too

Not quite the way you are accustomed to it, but there is a 'way' around it... you basically leave the phone on but you can turn on call forwarding... settings > call settings > call forwarding > always.
It doesn't turn the phone off but it won't ring either.

i was wondering the same thing, there might come out with a fix for this in the next update.

demontefixo, i was using the same solution, but I hoped for real solution to disable GSM. Anyway I will just wait
PS: This device is amazing I'm so happy with it. I wasn't using windows on my computer and laptop, and now i am completely MS free

Install anycut and Create a Software to Hidden Application named Phone Info, their you can see the Phone or Radio disable type of option. I have Tried it
It can actuall disable Radio and keep the Wifi on, But i could not renable radio and must have to reboot the phone.

Through the same Phone Info shortcut you can enable it to use WCDMA only or just prefer WCDMA or use GSM only. I think that is what mony87 was looking for.

Or you can go to:
Settings
Mobile networks
Operator selection
If you only see T-Mobile then Search Networks.
Select a non subscribed Network like ATT
It will tell you you your SIM card does not allow a connection...
But if you don't re-select TMobile the Phone Connection will turn off.
To get your Phone Connection back, just select TMobile

I thought I had the same issue but you actually can re-enable the radio after you turn it off...it just takes a while...

Bring up the dialer, type in: *#*#INFO#*#*. Shouldn't need to hit enter. Scroll all the way down, and hit "Turn off radio".

Trucker Needs Help with DISABLING AUTO TIME ZONE CHANGE

hello all you hackers and chefs!
got a quick question. everytime my brother heads out on the road, his main gripe with the touch pro 2 (official winmo 6.5 rom) is that it automatically changes his time zone as he moves on down the road. he needs to run his log book on east coast time zone only. the phone keeps updating the weather , gps location (obviously) and then the time zone. as long as the "my location" option remains in the clock setting area, this phone will continue to update the weather, gps location (obviously) & time zone. anyone know how to disable this function? In the words of my brother, "if i need to know the weather where i'm at, i'll just stick my damn head out the window of my truck. make this damn phone stop changing time zones!"
somebody please lend me a helping hand!!!??? PLEASE!!

Hello,
Did you check in phone/menu/options/time zones ... if it is unticked?

You can also disable the HTC Location services in the settings.

not quite sure what you meant.
i have been all thru this phone trying to find the "magical setting" to disable this for him with no luck. he is on a long haul right now and i would love to give him the steps needed to resolve this for him.
to clear up anything for everyone wanting to help..... we have removed all cities except cincinnati, oh. from the weather area. the "my location" stays on; regardless. any other pointers?

You may be able to fix this with a mortscript...
i just found a command line tool to adjust the time zone.
maybe it will work on that phone and do something useful?
its at the mortscript examples...

go to setting>personal>phone>cdma or gsm services (im on sprint so it says that)>time synchronization>get settings & uncheck time synchronize with mobile network then go to clocks & alarms then set it for the time zone u need

If he is using Manila 2.5, then the easiest way is:
Tap on the clock and tick the city he wants as Home (this will automatically untick "My Location"). If his home town isn't already in the list, just add it by tapping "Add City".
It really is that easy
Keep on truckin' dude!

ok we found it
WE found how to disable it but it does reset if you ever soft reset the phone. thanks for all the help guys...

That doesn't stick either! Every reset it will go back to my location - I also did the regedit under hkcu/software/htc/manilia... mylocation and set to 0 - didn't work!

I don't know if it's with all 6.5 roms but in the nrg jun22 21xx rom, gsm services isn't an option anymore.

That also didn't work for this rom - including the option to prevent all apps from using location service.

Car Panel Navigation License

Hi,
I know most folks hate the Navigation that comes as part of the DHD but for me its fine. Not great, just fuctional for what I need.
So on Android 2.2.1 I purchased the perpetual license and it was great.
I recently swapped to 2.3 Gingerbread to try it out but it seems my licnese is now redundant/not recognised.
Does this mean with every upgrade I loose my license?
Anyone else with similar issue?
Cheers

if u are referring to 'Location' then yes, i luv it too. i'm also on Gingerbread from port over of Desire S. and i can use my "location" and my license is recognise. thts why i didn't use CM7 because i will lose 'Location'.
u can try by:
Open 'Location' > press "Menu" > Get More > Press 'Menu' > "Sync License"

try retyping the license and it will work just fine

Thank you so much, never even thought of doing that
The licnese sync has to be done manually. I just assumed that it would auto update. Spent an extra 5 quid in the mean time but happy now I know this.
Thanks again.

Edge 7 Problems

Hello,
I'm starting to hate my S7 Edge, and I'm really missing my Edge 6 Plus. Has anyone else had these problems and perhaps have any advice for resolving them? I've searched around and can't find any other reports of these problems.
First, if I'm traveling, *sometimes* I can't use the Google Navigation App if I'm in motion. For example, if I'm driving home, and I decide to get gas, if I say "OK Google, navigate to the Gas Station" It will of course find a close gas station, and allow me to choose which one. After I do so, the app will plot a course, but then will fail to acquire a satellite. The app will just sit there constantly saying "Acquiring Satellite" (or something to that effect, I can't remember the exact error) but it never does find the satellite. The only fix for this is to repeatedly turn off and on the Location services, until eventually it just works. Which is extremely infuriating not to mention dangerous while driving. I rememeber falling in love with my S6 Edge Plus because it had such an easy time navigating and this S7 Edge is so consistently terrible at locating my position.
Second, this is a problem I did not know I had until today: After mis-placing my phone, I went to the Google "Find my phone" web page on my computer, to force my cellphone to ring. I have used this service before with all my other phones and it never failed to force the device to ring. But this time, my S7 did not ring. Luckilly I was able to find my phone on my own. When I did locate it, i noticed that there was an icon in the notification tray saying "Ringing phone" and yet the phone was NOT RINGING! With the phone in hand, I tried to use the webpage to locate my phone by ringing it again. The same thing happened. It put a notification up that my phone was "ringing" in the phone's notification display, but made no actual noise.
I checked the settings - > Lock Screen and Security -> Find my Mobile, and it asks me for my Samsung Account Password.
Why my samsung account? Why not google? I don't understand.
So I signed in, and google location service is set to ON, as expected. Remote controls is also set to ON. There is a notification at the bottom that says to track and control my device, go to: findmymobile.samsung
So I go there, and I tell it to ring my phone, and what do you know? It rings my phone perfectly. Noise and everything.
How do I switch it over to google's service? I really don't like most of Samsung's software offerings, and would prefer to use native google apps out of convenience. I don't remember ever having this problem with any other galaxy device. Not even my tablet does this.
Can anyone help?

I haven't had any GPS problems with mine (U.S. Sprint version). What are your location settings? Make sure it's set to use GPS, and not just network or WiFi.
Find My Mobile and Android 's service are two different things FMM is Samsung's product. To make sure Google's is active, go to Device Administrators and make sure Android Device Manager is turned on. Then go to Apps, scroll to the bottom and tap on Google, then scroll down and tap on Security. Make sure 'Remotely locate this device' (and 'Allow remote lock and erase' if you want that) are turned on.

Settings / Applications
Scroll to bottom, tap Google (on my Sprint S7 Edge, it's the very last item).
Scroll down until you see "Security" and tap there.
The first two toggles (on mine) are "Remotely locate this device" and "Allow remote unlock and erase."

Ah, I was able to find the settings under Google, however both are already checked. Are there any other settings I need to check?
{{Edit: I toggled the setting just to test it, and now it seems to be working. I don't know why this worked, because the setting was already properly configured. But it works now. *shrug* Thank you so very much for your help and patience!}}

Glad to help. I seen lots of things get fixed when you toggle a setting. Something in the settings file got corrupted, and toggling the settings on and off rewrote what should have already been there. At least that's my guess.

[CLOSED] Igo speedcam issues

I am using igo nextgen on android hu. Maps etc all work. When I use tts sound I select it and get the voice(test). But when I use it I get no voice announcements for warnings ie speedcams only a beep. Sometimes during the journey as well the voice does not finish a sentence etc. Removed phoneme files as says to but no luck.
Can someone help me as getti g so annoyed now. Wanted tts working correctly with speedcam/overspeed etc alerts.
If I use a normal voice then navigation speech works fine. But when comes to speedcams I get a continuous beep. Can this be solved?

Please tell us your specs of device you are using (headunit info).
It is probably issue with sound in factory settings of device (hidden menu)

Where was igo installed from, plsystore or others?

Fixed this issue, but how do I stop it autostart when turn on from ignition

You have infotainment menu ? If yes, it's there somewhere.

Doesn't have that menu

Have these settings and hidden ones.

Try in hidden ones or developer menu if exists. Please shoot a video of whole menus and lists for better understanding.

Photos above show the menus I have. As can see I can't see anything. How get into developer options? Can see mjz but what it do and needs a different password

track down on internet what does do and how to get past password, must be some data about it on net

Done that why I'm asking here. From things on here many others have had same issue and get no answer

Picture this mjz menu step by step and please write down CPU-Z info on your model here

Mjz settings in picture below. Dont have cpu-z info. But know it's an allwinner quad (sun8iw11). 2/32 ram/memory. Got system working but nav auto starts when turning ignition on and system load up. I have nav app attached to navi button. If I don't and leave blank, would this stop it as nothing assigned to the button that assume is linked to the system generated startup system.

Ok, you have google play store or some store to download apps and install them or navigation app is preinstalled with unit ?

Navigation was preinstalled. But I backed up the APK and reinstalled with all updates etc do make it work with new maps. I have playstore available. I have tried other nav apps like Waze. These are not set as Navi button. These do not autolaunch when key in ignition. So is it due to fact that what app is set as Navi button in settings will autoload.

Try to download better or different version of Igo , maybe it will correct itself or go to settings on Igo settings if you have option autostart with system or android or something like that.
