Does anyone have any experience using commgrpro on a GSM Treo Pro?
I am looking for a application to toggle between Edge and 3G.
Also to turn off the data connection instead of having on all the time.
Thanks
there is an app ``NO DATA`` to turn off your data connection. look at modaco to find the cab. not sure if you can find it in this forum.
So I just migrated over from my Vogue (xv6900) to the Imagio. One of the problems I have at my job because of where my office is located I have the worst quality available because of no windows, and being in the back of the room behind walls, etc.
On my Vogue I flashed using NSFAN's 6.1 ROM and I was able to go into the settings and force the phone into 1X which helped alot with my battery life. Now that I have the Imagio I can see the registry settings in this thread but when I do them I don't notice any changes to giving me the modes of operation.
Because this is a world phone (and perhaps has WM 6.5) the settings are different and I don't see these settings at all in the phone settings. The modes of operation are only CDMA, GSM/UMTS only or Global. Does anyone have any insight as to how I can implement the 1x hack?
Also to note now there's no "EV" icon, there's "3G" and "1X". Anyone have some insight to share on to how this phone and the TP2 search for networks now and how that all works versus an older device such as the Vogue.
yeah this is an old thread.
anybody find the "mode of operation" hack for these phones? also looking for the tp2
For me on the imagio setting the phone to function in CDMA mode alone worked. Putting it in Global mode caused my battery to run down unnecessarily. Others have reported that unlocking the SIM and using a different carrier's SIM should help the phone find the signal it's looking for but I have yet to try that.
to reply to your first post. the 3G icon does not matter. its still the same type of service.
My HD2 is an Australian Telstra version hence with a lot of preloaded links.
1. some of these which I cannot delete, any Ideas?
2. I have downloaded a small app to control bluetooth and wifi as I use them a lot, how do I get this to the sense screen, I am in and out of the car a lot.
3. How can I force opera to use wifi instead of the carrier when I am in wifi range
4. I am about to use the replacement HTC sense app by cookie, is it a modified version and will it blend in with my carriers requirements.
5. lastly for today when the phone is locked and the slide is used to unlock, i notice after many disconnects that the buttons are still active, whats the point of the finger slide, or am i missing some thing, I would like to not accidentally disconnect people when i pull the monster from my pocket.
Thanks guys
I appreciate your help
Hey as far as designating a data connection to a specific program there is a cab you can install called wmlonglife that will accomplish this check out this thread to find out more about it
In regards to number 3, once you're connected to Wifi, your HD2 should just use WiFi for everything that uses the internet rather than your carrier.
This means Opera should automatically use Wifi when connected!
Hi,
I apologize if it's the wrong forum or if I missed something in my search over the forums (and internet).
Current setup :
HTC Legend rooted, flashed with Azure 1.0.1 (cyanogen 6.0)
Kernel 2.6.29
Baseband 47.26.35.04u_7.05.35.26L
Issue :
For some reason I can't get my 3G connection stable. eg. When I enable Wifi - 3G drops (which is set up that way), but when I disable Wifi 3G doesn't come back up. Even though the settings are correct.
I'm having a hard time getting any mobile data correctly going, it generally requires me to enable/disable wifi and reboot the phone several times.
Basically I've tried factory resets, checking the settings (config of mobile networks too), it doesn't stay in 2G mode, ... I've test with other Cyanogen based roms and it's the exact same issue. Is it possible this is due to a radio being wrong or is it possible it's actually the phone?
So:
- 2G only is DISabled
- Mobile data is enabled
- wifi off
- settings (mobile connection parameters) are correct
- tried different roms
- checked in places I know I should get a good connection (My provider is Telenet, they use the Mobistar network, my previous provider was mobistar. So the coverage should remain the same.)
I am at my wits end and do apologize if this is a stupid question, but I can't think of anything else that could interfere with this.
Have you tried to leave the 2G/3G settings by default? That is, not to disable 2G. It is anyway switching to the best it can aquire, so if you have strong signal you should get allways 3G. I never had these problems with any ROM I've tried...nightly, Azure, RC1/RC2

Quick solution : put one of HTCs widgets for mobile network on your homescreen and as soon as you turn WiFi off toggle the mobile network widget and 3G should start working again . It's a hit or miss though.

Must have used the wrong keywords >.< Sorry. Though thank you for the link, it is EXACTLY the prob I am encountering. At least now I know it's not the rooting that caused it.
About the HTC widget : I've used it, but it's indeed a hit or miss. Best solution seems to switch to 2G and switch back to 3G that way.
Leaving all the settings at standard (and the most recent flash to the CM RC1) helped with the overall connectivity though.
This is something I've wanted to be able to do for a long time and now thanks to X posed and GravityBox it's now possible.
Massive thank you to @C3C076 for GravityBox and for guidance on how to do this.
Requirements:
Root
Tasker
Xposed
GravityBox (check your ROM's compatibility)
Setup:
Open tasker
Create a new task - misc - send intent
Paste the following into the action box: "gravitybox.intent.action.CHANGE_NETWORK_TYPE"
Paste the following into the extra box:
"networkType:2"
The above will switch to 3g. Change the 2 as per below as required.
0 - 2G/3G auto (3G preferred)
1 - 2G
2 - 3G
9 (or 10) - LTE

Setting network mode automatically. For example....
Switch to 2g when on WiFi or screen off.
Then switch to 3g when off WiFi and screen on.

Doesn't the HTC power saver do the same thing

You are referring to Sense. Not everyone stays stock plus I'm not sure battery saving mode switches network? If it does does it switch back to 3g when you need it?

Since I got this running using llama, and you seem to be more skilled with tasker, let me ask you this question.
Many use tasker to implement this function where it scans cell towers and activate/deactivate wifi based on location. However, I have found that tasker will deactivate wifi when the phone latches on to a new cell tower while the wifi is still connected (which makes the automation redundant), whereas llama has this option where it will not switch off wifi (regardless of detected cell towers) unless the wifi connection is gone.
Any way to replicate this same behaviour in tasker?
I don't activate WiFi based on location. I use tasker to switch WiFi as follows:
WiFi disconnected - WiFi off Bluetooth on
Bluetooth disconnected - WiFi on Bluetooth off.
WiFi & Bluetooth disconnected - 5 min delay then both off.
This covers most situations for me as I'm usually in my car between home, work or family.

Ah....so the search continues.
Just a question, why would we want to change to 2G when WIFI is connected?
If I am on wifi, I dont use data so I dont care If it is in 3g or 2g. Only for calls. So 3g is not used so I dont care If it is 3g or 2g. Perhaps it save battery? I am not sure, thank you

I get a really crap signal on 3g at home so switch to 2g. Only use 3g for browsing off WiFi. Additional benefit is battery saving. This is all now automated

Just as an example, LTE reception in my area is dreadful, 3G is decent, 2G is excellent. If I'm already connected to wifi, but my phone is also on LTE for calls/reception, battery is still dreadful due to the poor reception as phone tries to stay on LTE network (it won't switch to 3G/2G because it can still see LTE), at least on my Nexus 5 (mobile network signal in battery stats is yellow/grey mostly).
Being able to automate the switch to 3G or 2G when connected to wifi solves this part of the battery drain. But if you have excellent mobile reception then this shouldn't be a concern.
Understood. So, although I am wifi connected, the phone still searching for 3g signal, right? yep, In my house there is poor 3g signal too. So I have to try this tutorial, maybe will reduce battery eating I already use tasker for other purposes and it is awesome
Thank you!
There's an app on Google play that shows you the cell towers you connect to. On 3g at home my phone was continually hunting all over the place just to maintain a 3g signal.

Thanks, I will take a look
Btw I searched for "GravityBox" so I can do this trick, but I have found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2316070
Where it says it is not compatible with htc sense.
On the other hand, have you tried tasker + secure settings? I remember it used to has some 2g/3g toggle, but I cant find it now. I suppose it is no longer avaible, but dont know
mitchst2 appears to be on some kind of AOSP/CM custom rom, so if you're on stock Sense it might not work. Might need to make it clear.
Secure settings' 2G/3G/LTE toggle only works for specific custom roms (CM or AOKP iirc).
I'm on a Google edition. Secure settings network toggle not available on GPE.
GravityBox is being revised so it doesn't apply quick settings toggles by default. Not sure if this will help it's compatibility with sense or not.

Understood. So not sure if it works on sense. Let's see if someone can confirm this, I will not take a risk for the time being
I hope it works.. This seems to be a very useful task
There are sense toolbox's on xposed. May be worth asking their developers if network mode intents are or can be made available.

So, who is the people I have to contact? You mean, xposed developers? Sorry mate, It seems that I am a bit lost here...
