NRG's miniweather for Snap (1.3) won't update - Dash 3G, Snap General

Any clues? I've tried all the settings on in the options and still nothing. I have to manually update the weather.
NRG's miniweather 1.3 is the only thing close to working on my Snap. I've tried FeatherWeather, NRG's 1.2, NRG's 3.0 full program, WeatherPanel, and a few others and none work. At least this latest 1.3 works mostly but still not updating no matter what I try.
Trent

did u check to see if u have an active data connection?
either way ill post my settings so u can try them.
after u open up the options go to advance options, then:
1 - Y
2 - N
3 - F
4 - N
5 - N
6 - N
7 - A
8 - Y
10 - Y
11 - none
try that..and let me know if it works.

Thanks, I'll try them now. Only one off was data connection #2 for me, I had it "Y". I have a data plan...what do you mean by an active date connection?
I'll see if this works. It would countdown to my first update, then not update and no more countdown. We'll see if this option was the problem.

Next auto update says it will occur in 37 min.
Just did a manual update and it now says "Updated - 7:10pm" ... problem is it's only 6:45pm now! The phone shows 6:45 so yes, there are a couple bugs. I'm very grateful for NRG's efforts, and hopefully this will help him adjust the final tweaks on this great program

what i meant by "active data connection" was to make sure u connection was on..for some weird reason it keeps switching off and i have to go into my comm mgr and enable the data connection.
i have a unltd data plan too..but i didnt know what that was when i installed it..so i clicked no LOL.
the time thing really doesnt bother me, this app wasnt made for the Ozone/Snap/Dash 3G users so its gonna have a few bugs..i guess this is one of them..
ALSO to me its only temporary until we get the CID unlocker for the MAPLE, then im sure the developers, including NRG himself will begin to push out some up to date stuff for us.

Certain manilla 2d functions stopped working, any suggestions?

Hey guys, I appreciate all the work you have done on the manilla app. I am having a couple of issues though and am wondering if anyone knows what I can do. Everything was working perfectly on my i760, but all of a sudden I can no longer add contacts to the contacts screen, programs to the program screen, and if I hit the Sync Data, Wallpaper, Sounds or about buttons on the settings tab nothing happens either. I really would like this to work out since I loved using it for a few days while it was working, but now I can't do things that are essential to this app. I realize this is a beta, but is there anything that you guys may know of that I can do to get this back up and running correctly? Thanks in advance guys.
same experience
I have had the same experience running m2d on a iphone clone wm6 device (m88) ......lost count of the number of times I have wiped it all and started fresh : but ive got about 85% of this thing working .......what is essential is to go one step at a time......reset between each step ......even when you load m2d and the md2 patch for non htc devices (even though I read somewhere to load the two contiguously) ....then 1 app at a time ......still cant get the audiomanager to work or the photo/ camera app .....just renoved them with the m2dconfig app ......
I tried this many times and got into the "loaded one too many apps mode" ...things stopped working and I had to start fresh again .......be patient

HTC HD mini-clock problem

When clocks turn back the time I got back to the hurt I am going to swallow the clock forward 1hr automatic as some newly self forward is going to hurt a certain time

Time Change
His problem is the change to the Wintertime. Since them the clock always is one hour later.
I have the same problem and no solution .
I would like to stop the automatic time change.
found a Solution here.
NitroNitrous said:
Well they're slightly different because of the HTC Sense and the Windows version, but in the Mini the steps are:
Settings/Menu/All Settings\Personal\Phone\GSM/UMTS Services and then scroll down and you'll see "Time Synchronization". Tap there and then "Get Settings".

I have an issue with the clock as well... Ai just got the phone yesterday.
Actually, during the day at the office, the time changes several time by one hour forward... so suddenly after the time was OK in the morning, around 5 PM it showed 11 PM. What do I need to change so the time stays the same? (in the night it went back by one hour, so the alarm woke me up one hour earlier than it should have...wrrr ;-)
BSB tweaks
I am using BSB tweaks, there is option Auto sync clock - just switch off this parameter, it working perfectly. Milan
Actually, when I am at home and have athe autosync on, the time does not change. As soon as I am moving around, the time changes (even though the auto sync is off then). It seems that it changes when the network changes while moving around. When travelling in roaming this weeknd, the time moved forward by 26 hours in just one hour while travelling in a bus.

Thanks, but that's the same solution posted above. What we are trying to fix now is how can we have the time sync activated
bagalk, mine hasn't gone that far, but is definitely a nice bug from HTC. I wonder it the clock will work properly when they change the time again in March or April
solution
As a colleague was having the same problem I looked around for a solution. Having found nothing that appeared to work I looked to the HD2 which runs a similar software setup. This is what I found (I can't post the URL so must simply copy & paste from the original page)
Hey kids
This was irritating me too, I assumed it was not a phone issue but, I contacted HTC yesterday & their reply is as follows, there are 2 steps to perform. I did this last night & so far the phone has been perfect:

Dear Stuart
This is not a fault with the device or its software, your device updates its time automatically from the Internet and from your mobile provider.
Occasionally there is a difference in the time from the Internet and the time from your provider which can cause the time to appear to be changing when it should be the same.
Normally this will resolve itself within a few days, however, this is very inconvenient so we recommend to disable any automatic time updates on your device.
This will not effect your sync with other things like Exchange and similar
From the Home screen tap:
Start - Settings - Data services - Time synchronization - Untick all here.
AND
Start - Settings - Menu - All settings - Personal/Private - Phone - GSM & UMTS Services - Time synchronization - Get settings - Untick all here.
Sincerely,
Adrian

New kernel [LV 0.6.2] download it from here​
Thanks go to erasmux and riemer for the kernel work​
Hallo, this rom is really fast, light and very minimalistic and the best for me is that colorize widgets work with the stock launcher! In this configuration its superfast with all widgets i need.
But i have a problem with my signal. Everytime when i hold the hero in my hands, the signal drop down to zero. Its like the bug on Iphone 4g.
a second bug is when i chose the cyan theme, the signal bar switches between white and cyan all the time.
I tested it with the stock kernel of this rom and with las venturas 0.5.
Im on O2 Germany and i have the latest radio
I just remembered this thread. When I was using this rom (yesterday) the market wouldn't show certain apps, e.g. Tweet Deck, and Catch That Bus

The problems with the market is an old one... in many roms you can't use these apps because the limitations of the phone...The best solution is to google them and after that install them from the SD card...be sure to check UNKNOWN SOURCES

The color thing is with every theme u use...i personally use the same theme because i like the color, but i don't experience the same problem with the network loss...you can have this problems because u use a 3G connection and if it runs out of signal it switches back to 2g and that not so bad for talking..but it's bad when using the internet...
If you don't use a data connection all the time to watch youtube or other things...switch to 2g and see after that
Keep me in touch if you have any other problems and i will try to help you
Stefan
Thanks for your reply!
When i switch to wifi i have the same problem that i lose the signal. So i think its not a problem of switching between 2g and 3g.
In the developing area, there was another guy who had the same problem.
Im now on Floyo1.4 the bug is gone
But i will come back to this rom because its so minimalistic as no other one and thats what i want!
Try this

i sometimes have the same problem... but the phone rings and stuff like that... i think it's sometimes from the thickness of my apartment walls... but outside i don't have any problems
test the phone: if you're in WiFi and the phone rings... If yes that means that the widget has a problem, if you can't be contacted then it means you loose signal
PS: do you keep your phone in a case (like a silicone one or things like ) to protect the phone?
My phone isnt in a case.
Im now on Floyo, but i will move back and test a little bit.
The main reason that i changed was that im searching for a new job and my phone has to work 100%. If a possible new Company want to call me and my phone doesnt work
i will give a feedback soon

Any update on the market force closing?? It closer after the market has been open for about 15 seconds
OMGB 1.2.2:
When I receive a call it takes forever until the screen is lit so I can see who is calling
Running Google Navigation the GPS looses lock after 10 minutes, have to restart application to get it lock again for about 10 more minutes.
Some applications are reported as not compatible with the phone, the cannot be installed from Titanium backup or from market although they should work fine. For example Noom, Handelsbanken, STHLM Traveling.

0.5 seconds is almost ahead of time when being used to Hero...
For me it takes at least 10 seconds before the display is lit, very annoying. I am using SetCPU 352/614.
Nom is here for instance https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wsl.noom&feature=search_result
STHLM Traveling is here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.markupartist.sthlmtraveling&feature=search_result
Both shows as not compatible with HTC Hero in Android market on the web too. But worked fine in Elelinux 7.3 v3.2 GB-ROM.
Is there some way to see exactly why they are not compatible?

Ok...google maps has the same problem...you got to search them on google as STHLM.apk download ; and you install them from the SD card, that is the sollution.
Ele mad a thing and tweaked something in a script and the market works with everything...but it's not so hard to google an app and put it on your sd card
and i recommend flashing the ROM again...maybe there is a problem, i still use the 1.2 version, kind of lazy to update))), ohh and set SetCpu with 691 max and 176 min and tell me if you still have the problem with the answering
Keep me in touch of you manage to resolve the problem,

Comments about RO Acudroid V3 ICS Themed - 21/02/12 on Super Smooth Android 2.3.6 JQ9

Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?

If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again. Didn't have this problem on V3... Anyone else got this problem? any solution?

Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....
use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.

PPP Widget - easy use of external phone or 3G modem

Update 2015-04-13: PPP Widget 2 now includes support for Android 5.0.x (5.1 not tested)
==================================================================
Update: try PPP Widget 2 (Google Play) if you have driver issues.
==================================================================
I would like to announce a widget that I catered for and tested on the A500. (It should run on other tablets as well, of course.)
It includes everything to connect via phone or 3G modem plugged to the USB host port (usb_modeswitch, pppd and chat).
Edit: New version 0.97 with experimental full network access available.
Edit: New version 0.98 available.
Changes include:
full network access may work on 2.x devices now too
latest usb_modeswitch program and data package included, providing
several new modem configurations
custom config files may be added in "/sdcard/pppwidget/cfg"
improved robustness
Edit: New version 0.99 available.
Changes include:
full network access should work properly on 4.1 devices now
improved robustness on several custom ROMs
Edit: Version 1.00 is now available at Google Play.
Changes include:
No more fixed path to SD card folder
Username and password are no longer mandatory
Translations to German, Portuguese, Dutch and Vietnamese
Additional translations are welcome.
This app will stay cost- and ad-free. As long as I live..
Thanks, JFDee. And don't sweat the limitations. If you stick around I think that you'll forget all about that once you get a few posts in.
I'm checking it out now.
In case anyone else wants to check it out, here's the link.
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/pppwidget.html
I haven't been able to connect it to my AT&T Atrix4g yet. I'm sure it is a config problem on my part. I'll goto to the forum at your site to see what I can figure out.
supurb work.
I can only say , supurb work it works like a charm , installed the widget ,(on my custom RE-FLEXxx rom android 4.0.4), turned wifi off and plugged in my HUAWEI E1552 and did my apn settings (for belguim and my provider = apn = "internet.be") pressed dial and I got connected instantly. So supurb and you can expect a donation m8.
Edit.
Some side info , if I install a application to monitor mobile data use like 3g watchdog the ppp app crashes and I need to reinstall ppp widget.
Not a big problem , just letting you know.
Congratulations
Congratulations for civato who posted the good news for 3g working in the A500 as well as the developer who made possible to run 3g with the iconia A500, finally I can migrate to Flexreaper relix R.4. It works like a charm. Thank you, you are one!!!!!!:good:

I didn't do anything thank the OP , I just confirmed that it works on my custom roms.
Some info for app builder.
Sometimes I need to remove the widget from home screen , go back to Widgets and replace it on my home screen .
If not I get crash message , ppp widget stopped.
I tried lots of tool but finally arrived to easytether pro

I suppose that is one of the problems caused by Android not knowing "officially" about the working PPP connection. I'd really like to find a way of changing that (and make all apps aware of the connection) without changing central system components like "init.rc" ...
Superb APP..Will die for it

I have been dying for seeing such an app for the last one year. Tried N number of ROMs, but all were a pain only for this.
You have done a great job here.
One Request here to make some small change, if it is not too much bother. Whenever the tab sleeps, the modem disconnects too, which is expected. But if you could add another setting for AUTO RECONNECT MODEM, it will be superb. :good:

I'm not afraid of changing init.rc in ramdisk , so I can build custom kernel for the A 500 and my roms , so what should add in init.rc.
But again really thanks for the so easy in use widget. Is it OK for you if I change the layout for myself , I would like a more transparent look and other icon.

Hmm, that depends. I'd rather have a consistent look for my widget, no matter where; that includes the icon as the central sign.
But maybe I like your alternative design and will use it as the default ...
If you have anything to show (screen shot?) you can PM me.

No problem m8 , will do if I cooked something up.
Edit.
Strange , the moment I change layout the widget won't install but that is not a big deal.
I got other problem, after a while ( when not used) the widget tabs go blank and the moment I insert my dongle it crashes with message , ppp widget stopped.
for the developer: I am reporting a bug that has to do with a constant message that appears each time I insert the usb dongle saying "the application has stopped" and does not allow me to connect the device. The application has crashed several times. When I reboot the system starts working again just for a while. I am using 0.96 latest version. god bless you.
Note: This is not a complain, it is a suggestion for the developer that can help to improve the software.

in my opinion using stop ril-daemon and start ril-daemon will do the trick.

No it won't I tested that.
Wow, very cool!
Don't really need to use my 3G stick since I can tether my phone while on the road but it's nice to have the option.
This was foolproof plug and play, just needed to reboot the tab once for it to recognize the modem (ZTE MF110)
although not developed form my tab, i tried and it appears to not install corretly on the acer a510(rooted). no pppwidget dir is create nor can i find the files under their standard directories, ie usb mode switch. as a result just get an error from pppwidget when i plug in a wireless stick. (sierra wireless 306 and sierra wireless 598usb).
Jfdee,
many thanks for this...I am using stock ICS, just to report - it is bit unstable, keeps disconnecting......
eagerly waiting for a more stable version from you...
