It exists for android. For example, the Evo 4G has it: http://www.techkings.org/htc/34489-evo-4g-3g-epst-settings.html
I want to try a different vocoder to see if it improves the call quality.

Well in windows mobile it was extremely easy. The EPST menu allows access to many things. One in particular i was looking for was changing the radio scan interval. If you changed that it wouldnt ping for towers as often thus saving much battery life. On my Touch Pro 2 with sprint, since i was in great service everywhere, i lowed the value and extened my battery life by up to 3 hours. which is a lot lol. I was looking for something like that in android to do the same. But im on a Galaxy S 2 now so i havent even thought of it.

How was it done in WinMo?
Are these settings stored in the ROM or the Radio? If they're stored on the radio, maybe if I change them in WinMo they'll stay even after flashing Android? Or maybe not...
The ability to change the radio scan interval also seems very useful, specially if you live in a zone with great service coverage.

Phone overheating

I am running DarchLegend 4.1, and my phone gets abnormally hot when it's just sitting in my pocket, receiving a text every couple hours. I would like to know why this is, if it's normal, and should I do anything about it? Thanks in advance

Sounds like a program is running in the background. I would get a task manager open and frequently check to see what app is staying open the most.

The only external apps I have installed are Battle.net Authenticator, Twicca, and Facebook. I also have them set to manual update only.

Try using wavesecure for locking your phone in case it's stolen. I think it tells you where the phone is and stuff too. And it locks the phone as soon as someone trys changing the sim. Give it a shot.. i liked it.

It'll ask you for a password. So you can enter that and you'll be in.
I'm now using the SlideIT keyboard - where you slide your finger through all the letters of the word you want to type and it works it out for you and pop's it right in there... it's so very cool to use.. makes me smile everytime I use it.! I can type quicker than I ever did now.
and Hendcent for text messages - it's much more natural to use than the standard.

[SOLVED] How do I "name" my Nexus 10

When I connect to wifi my Nexus 10 gets identified as "android-55b14d7c2daeba9". On the other hand when my son's iPad connects to wifi it gets identified as "Nicks iPad". I'd like to have my Nexus 10 to be named "Jerryps Nexus 10". I think I have looked at every setting possible and don't see a way to name the device. I've searched in vain. Does anyone know how to handle this?
Solution = I just used an app called "change hostname". Worked/works perfectly.
Not easily I'm afraid

It is quite easy actually, well not actually changing the name, but making it appear to have.
This works on windows ..
Where you see "Nexus 10" connected as a media device, right click and rename ... Done ..

How is that an answer to my original question? I may as well put a p-touch label on the back.
Try this: Settings>Wi-Fi>Settings (button in top right corner)>Wi-Fi Direct>Rename Device (top right corner again)

Doesn't work, i'm wondering the same thing

I mis-red your post, excuse me ..
Sorry for trying to help you ..
So now here is your answer ...
Learn more about android, learn to use adb, learn to use terminal, learn to edit and change the hostname of your device , if you want to do it the complete way.
Or a 5 second search on google ...

Don't know whether you can do it on stock android, but I'm CM you can change the android hostename in developer options. (To enable those tap the build number a few times in about phone).

Download Booster

Posted this in the Sprint forum....can someone help me figure out how to enable the download Booster? Like previous models? Old process doesn't seem to work.

I've been looking for it on and off today honestly. Wanted to use it for a tasker profile. But it's no longer a settings activity named smartbonding. Been scouring activities all through relevant system apps to try to find something that I think would be it with no luck.
Honestly I havent tried super hard. More just in off time when I remember it, or notice my booster turned off again. (on tmobile so I have the switch in settings to turn it on and off)
But ill keep you posted if I find it
International unlocked 950f model and i have it here. Just search for it
It's disabled and hidden on this version

Carrier disabled. Not removed from the system though.
Were trying to figure out the new activity name for it.
Before even when it was disabled, you could use Nova launcher activity to find it in settings.
Use to be called . settings$smartbondingserviceactivity
Okay so from what I can tell there is nothing referring to download Booster or smart bonding in any of the activities. I believe it is part of an activity menu of some sort now and no longer called bonding. I've checked in every activity sub group.

You and me both. I have download booster on tmobile. I feel like they changed it from a settings activity and embedded it so people couldn't do this. What I think i might do later today is debug the phone and see what script comes up when I enable it and report back.
Man. I guess this isn't an issue for most with this device. Is Sprint the only carrier that hid this setting?
Bump...I know someone can do this easily
Still no luck. Anyone else find a thing worth trying yet?
