Adjust how often better service is queried - HTC Amaze 4G

I recently read someone saying one can change how often android will search for a faster data connection from "always" to "specified intervals" to save battery. I now can not find the post or any mention on how to do this, if it really is possible. Could someone point me in the correct direction?

Any answers about this?

Questions about verizon specific software

maybe someone can help me. I flashed nuerom 2.0 build 5044 and everything is working beutifully. And before i get flamed i am not able to use the search function as it never finds anything regardless of what of what i search for.
However i cant seem to receive pics mail. now im figureing that since this is a sprint specific software that the proper files are not in place to make this work. does anyone know where i can get them or if there is something i can change to make it work. kind of annoying not being able to recieve pix mail.
Also my GPS seems to be working, sort of. I cant seem to get a fix but it will search for satellites and usually finds 2. I am using googlemaps. is there a better software or a patch or fix to make this more consistent.
And lastly i am receiving a popup prompting for a username and password when i got to access the web. I can click cancel and it lets me go right through but its an annoyance and really bothers me. I wasnt given a u/n and p/w and it doesnt appear i need one. Can i stop this from happening.
Keep up the great work everyone who is contributing.
MMS is not cooked in to the nueroms. I don't know of a way to add it without it being cooked in to the ROM.
You can use another software like Live Search or TomTom.
Just put a check mark in remember password. It should stop asking.
thanks appreciate all your help. your previous posts helped with my phone as well.

IE6 displaying bunched to the left

I'm sure someone knows the answer. I've been searching the threads for several weeks now, hoping that I could find the answer myself. I even used...<gulp> Google to attempt to narrow down the parameters. REad the Wiki, read the moderators warnings about search...even used CTRL F in threads to attempt to find strings....I am a failure.
So now I am willing to take the Noob flame for not being able to find, what everyone else must already know...
Using various ROMs....PRoven, DA-G, NAFT, RRE, RSW and now Energy, when I display MSN Mobile home page, it is aligned to the left....all content within an inch on the left. No other page does this...nor does any other site do this.
Occassionally the page will display correctly....usually when I flash back to an older ROM. This seems to indicate that I have totally missed the post about a settings change in the newer ROMs. Can someone point me to the fix for this....I am allowing a certain amount of flame for this answer....
Regards.....
IE6 does that on some pages, download diamond tweak and dissable ie 6 your phone will then use the older internet explorer and it will display properly. there is also a registry edit to do this also somewhere in the forum

Common questions thread.

Im comming from another manufacturer so im not familjar with sammy and their phones. Im making this thread for those who have any questions on some how to things in hopes some people can answer.
How do you change the order of your bookmarks and actually have them save the way tou like them. Everytime i click save it reverts back to factory way.
Also is there a way to share a photo while being on the web without downloading the pic first.
When on the internet, do i have to scroll all the way up to the top of the page to see the www bar?
Is there a way to set all default dialing numbers to mobile?
It also seems like such a long process to search for someone in the phone tab and then to actually call them. Im use to sense, the process was much shorter and simpler.
Anyone......

How to determine app that caused sound

Hi, Wizards:
I have a Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 running Overcome 3.3.1. On occasion, when all else seems quiet, the device will suddenly decide to play the /system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg sound file (sounds something like a bird chirp), and I would like to find the application that causes this sound file to be played. I ran the Log Collector app (v1.1.0) and poured through its output, and that is how I determined which file is being played,
In the latest instance, the log shows:
09-06 08:40:24.230 I/MediaPlayer( 306): The actual path is:/system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg.
Before that, I can see references to (306) like "KeyguardViewMediator" in the same second. In fact, there are hundreds of references to 306 within parentheses in the log, mostly involving Sensors and PowerManagerService BatteryService. But I don't see a way to trace back to the originator. (Frankly, I also don't have any indication that the '306' is important.)
How would I go about finding the reason that MediaPlayer was kicked off in the first place? (My goal is to find the application that suddenly decides to play this sound file, and to understand why it does so. After all, I'm being notified of something, right? Wouldn't it be swell to understand the reason for the notification, instead of just "Hey!" ?)
I've searched for general information on how to figure out what the Log is trying to tell me, but to no avail for something like this. Is there enough information in the typical Log Collector output to determine this information? If so, where can I read up on how to trace this? If not, then what might I do to trap/identify this?
I appreciate any pointers you may have on this.

Log Collector should give you enough information to solve the problem. I suppose one simple and quick solution you could try is go into /system/media/audio/notifications/12_Tweeters.ogg and just delete the file. If you delete the file, then when it wants to play that sound it won't be able to because it doesn't exist, and then it shouldn't bother you anymore.

That's encouraging. Sorry I wasn't clear. Where might I find out how to read the log in such a way?

Hmmm... to me, that sounds like "If the fire alarm bothers you, just remove the battery." I do appreciate your reply, but that doesn't that sound to me like a good idea since I don't know the cause... I do welcome advice regarding figuring out that cause.
I had a problem with audios starting to play randomly. Googling led to many possible causes.
The only one I remember is the fix that worked for me - simply installing and running once a program available free from the market called DisableAutoPlay.
It disables the feature where plugging headphones in causes auto-playing. Mind you I wasn't doing anything with headphones when my music started randomly, but apparently there can be some intermittent hardware malfunction that makes the phone think you are plugging headphones in (perhaps limited to Samsung phones like mine IIRC... I have an Infuse).

Thanks. I will keep that in mind if the time comes that I need to take such action.
I'm sorry I'm apparently expressing my intent so poorly. My goal, to be clear, is to find out WHY the alarm is sounding, not to prevent it. (I reserve the right to want to prevent it in the future, but right now the point remains.)
I will try to track down the author(s) of Log Collector and see where that leads me. If I find out anything useful, I will post back here.

Id also look into using logcat to try and solve your problem take a look at this guide to reading and writing logcat files.

Help with app?

Sorry, I'm brand new to the forums and they confuse me, so I hope this is somewhat the right section to be posting on.
I know nothing about making apps and need help with something. In a nutshell, I just got a new car (Escape) and I has the Sync 3 system in it and it sucks, reeeeeeaaaalllly bad. It is IMPOSSIBLE to watch videos on it. There is at least a 2000ms audio delay.
I have done a lot of troubleshooting (I'm actually an audio engineer) and I have narrowed it down to the problem being the Sync 3 system.
I need someone to make me a very simple app that can introduce and take away audio latency. Say give or take 5000ms in either direction, so I can compensate. Ford has no intention of updating their Sync 3 system to correct the sync problem.
Is this possible? I will make a donation to a paypal for the work needed (If any).
I have searched quite a bit for an app that can do something so simple and I can't believe that I haven't found one at all. I have had zero luck finding one.
Thanks.

Hello.
I believe you need a simple android program that can view video and synchronize audio with video. MX Player is one of the most used video apps that has the feature you asked. See attachment. It can make audio to go over or before video, from 0.01 seconds up to infinity, with 0.01 second accuracy. It is available both free and paid in playstore.
If I understood you wrong, then please post in Q&A forum (questions and answers), here. You will have more chance to get a response there.
Good luck
