So I now have CM10 on my S-Off, Unlocked, rooted, superCID, SIM unlocked amaze.
I'm wondering how to do just a few things... How do I get my FM radio back? (An offline stereo, not an online radio app.) It was always an option prior to CM10 is why I ask.
Also, how do we turn off haptic vibration?! I absolutely loathe the vibration whey I press each key on the keyboard... It appears as though the option to disable vibration completely is now unavailable. :/
Solving these issues will hold me over until progress can happen on the possible WiFi calling fix I've read about.
To all the devs that made this possible on the Amaze, thank you. Really. Thank you.

FM radio - it was a sense specific app... don't think it's ported over to CM10 yet... (problem is that each manufacturer has it's own FM radio lib, no easy way in android to "generic"-alize it
you could try the Spirit FM radio app in the Android store to see if it works...
So I figured out how to disable the haptic feedback. It's buried in the advanced settings of language and input.
I'm bummed about the loss of the FM radio. It would really be nice to have it back. I get poor cell service at work, but radio plays fine. I really miss that feature.
Come on Wifi Calling for CM10!!

Is there any way to turn the bluetooth option on the caller id screen to automatically toggle the bluetooth function on vs rushing to home screen toggle?
I'm often on the road at work or just have my hands full and it is such a drain running bt all day. Is there anything close to what I'm asking available or possible?

I still think that this would be an awesome app if doable, maybe it exists by now?
The ability to toggle bluetooth on by the push of the button on headset. Then allowing bt devices to connect. Also having a timer option to disable bluetooth toggle when not in use.
That possible?

I have a HTC evo 3D. Its wifi is not working. Even when I turned on the wifi, its icon didn't show on the screen top. And the wifi can't detect any network. Could you tell me what the problem is? Did this mean the wifi chip is broken. Thank you very much for help.
Just to make sure... You have added the network under settings, right?

If you're on your home network I suggest resetting your router by turning it off, letting it sit for a second, and turning it back on. Sometimes they lose connectivity.
Also, if you have flashed a rom, I suggest looking through the thread of that rom as wifi isn't working or stable on some roms.

Dear flonker,
Thank you very much for your response. I am using the newest stock ROM. The icon didn't show, and the wifi can't "find" any network. Any clue here?
hboot 1.50? If so that requires special flashing to get wifi and 4g...
My 4G works ok, just no WiFi. I got the phone as second hand and don't know if it is rooted. The ROM is the stock one though

Since you obtained the phone second hand, I would suggest doing some research to see whats going on. My app, Root Check Basic, available in the Android Market for free will let you know whether or not your device is rooted.
This will at least help you understand what might have been done previously.
Also, checking the bootloader for version and status: S-OFF or *Unlocked*/*Relocked* should help provide some more information on the history of the device.
If you're interested in wiping away the majority of changes which can be made to the system software on the device, running an RUU will revert everything back to stock. The RUU files, in both .exe format and .zip format (for loading thru the bootloader) are available at: http://goo-inside.me/shooter/ruu .
Hope that helps!
I am thinking of picking up a p500h and using it as a gps and mp3 players they are only 99$ here.
But I would like to turn the phone off do it will not use any battery.but if I do it turns of blue tooth also
(airplane mode).if I root can I uninstall or stop the phone from ever starting? Maybe uninstall phone.apk?
Thanks for any help
Its not a gps device or mp3 player,its a smartphone...deleting phone.apk will create a FC and you wont even be able to use the gps or music player function...

Some smart phones have the ability to turn off the phone radio so it will not search for signal and kill the battery while leaving Bluetooth and wifi and Gps usable.some need the phone on to start the Gps then the radio can be turned off and the Gps will keep going.
I am hoping that some one here knows a way I can get the phone radio off and use everything else.
Finding an Android pda with a good Gps and all the features of the p500 for under a $100 is next to impossible.and I kinda like this phone all in all.so if it can be done it's a good deal for me.

From my experience if you rename phone.apk and reboot you should be fine. I do it on all my tablets to remove cell standby. Still have wifi and bt

Simple solution ; flash baseband not compatible with your rom. Everything will work but GSM. Hit thanks if i helped
The phone I an looking at getting is gsm and hspa.will flashing the wrong base band disable both? If I re name the phone.apk will that work as good/well? Any other way to accomplish phone off with Bluetooth on?
What about use it with no SIM card. Does it do what you want?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
No even with out a Sim card the phone is still active and allows access to networks so you can make emergency calls.it's a feature they don't advertise much but all cell phones must be able to dial 911. On a network or not.
I could be wrong but my old phones worked that way.

You're right... I knew I was missing something
I have been able to convince someone to rename the phone.apk. It appears to work the same as air plane mode as there is no cell standby shown in battery usage just phone standby (which is really just device standby).so far every thing seems to work fine Bluetooth works wifi works and most functions that access the phone radio FC error.(checking mobile operators etc.).
so just renaming the phone.apk is an effective option to disable the phone and still have Bluetooth for use.
Can anyone suggest a minimal ROM for Canada hspa phone?

Alright everyone, I'm getting annoyed and I'm hoping someone more talented than me can come here to save the day. I'm attempting to use a conditional init.d script that runs if it finds the file of my choosing (in this case, radio.sh in /system/bin) and then if it finds it, it will disable radio. What I'm having problems with is that it keeps giving me connection refused on boot when disabling radio. So, any idea?
Have you mounted your system as read/write at the beginning of the script?

Hey globatron,
If you remove phone.apk and telephoneyproviders.apk you no longer get cell stand by in battery usage but it breaks GPS. If I leave the files and issue the stop ril-daemon command. It turns off the radio and GPS still works but cell standby appears in battery usage. Is there a way to disable the radios completely, still have GPS work and not have cell standby in battery usage?

You have to have cell standby for GPS to work, I think they are in the same chip.
Sent by breaking the sound barrier
I don't get what you're trying to accomplish, if youre trying to disable the CDMA radio and use wifi only like me, but want GPS, just turn on airplane mode, turn on wifi and GPS and you're set. If I'm mistaken about what you're trying to do then never mind.
Side note, leaving the CDMA radio on didn't bother me because I don't have service with my view, but it still takes from the battery of course.

Gordon, this is for a ROM. I'm looking into several options to kill it on boot simply. That's it.

Here is something odd.. gps does work if you remove the stuff for cell standby. I thought it was broken (everytime I tried in my house it never locked on a signal) but it's not. I fired up navigation just now and while it did take longer to lock a signal then with the radio stuff in, it did lock and start giving me directions.. I guess the cell radios assist the gps(considerably) but are not fully responsible for it.
This is an important functionality to disable the cell radio!
I've been trying for days now - can't understand why Android doesn't simply provide a checkbox in the settings for this (like for Bluetooth or Wifi).
When people suggest airplane mode, they don't realize that this blocks the stock dialer from placing any calls.
This is really poor design on the part of the Android team: they include a sip stack (thank you!) , then force users to resort to airplane mode to disable the cell, and then block the dialer (when all a user wants is simply to use sip over wifi)...

Why would you care about the stock dialer for placing call if you turned off your radio? You ain't making any calls without the radio anyway.... I'm confused

He is using sip over WiFi, but he needs a dialer. That doesn't use the mobile radio.

sounds like it sends the command before ril is ready.
The only way I got it to work was by having "sleep 60" before the radiooptions command.
Maybe there is some trigger for ril, so the command can run once its ready. I had done a loop to check if ril-daemon is running first, but that doesn't seem to be enough (probably takes more time to load the vender RIL next)
It seems radiooptions just disables the radio, but it still uses power.
Did anybody have success in disabling the radio? I'm also looking for the way how to use View 4G abroad without Sprint.
May be it's possible to modify the firmware to make it "wifi only" - exactly as it made for the HTC Flyer?

I would like a GB, not the HC version.
Have a unlocked Rezound that I'd like to use as a media device.
Why? Because the device continues to work well. I have a spare battery and chargers, holster and case. It can do wireless (802.11). Plus memory space as well as SD card capabilities.
I think if it was possible to disable the cell modem within the phone, battery life would be increased. Would love to find a ROM that minimizes the bloatware, allows you to disable the cell portion of the phone but maintain the device's other functionality.

I haven't seen a rom that lets you kill the cell radio all together and still keep wifi on. You can kill mobile data or put it in airplane mode when you don't need wifi either.
Install LTE on/off and turn off radio, WiFi can still be used, done.

@rjh20136 I'm partial to Sense ROMs and recommend Ineffable Deus for Sense 3.6, EclipticRez v9 (MHL fix included) for Sense 4. I use EclipticRez with either Sense 4 Car Mode display or XBMC app as a media device. I also use Poweramp and Google Music with ViPER4Android sound mod for car audio. Snuzzo's Funky kernel 3.7 version can underclock to 96 MHz to save battery more, try it out.

As Pmania said, toggle Airplane Mode first and then toggle WiFi back on by itself. I do this myself.
You can also access the Phone Info hidden settings on some ROMs by punching in "*#*#4636#*#*" on the stock dialer.
This panel controls global radio settings and can toggle the cell radio on or off independent of Airplane Mode. Do be careful not to select anything you're unsure of like changing regional frequencies.

To be fair, the grammar and lack of uppercase letters in the first post did not make it 100% clear you meant a specific app title rather than a generic toggle just for the LTE band. Mjones and likely others misunderstand at a glance.
I'm guessing the app is "LTE OnOFF - HTC Thunderbolt" by Cunning Logic. This app accesses that same hidden Phone Info panel accessed by the code I previously mentioned. Would recommend for the OP if the Airplane Mode trick is not preferable and the dialer code doesn't work on their particular ROM.
Other useful apps like Battery Monitor Widget can access the hidden settings too (BMW does it under the main menu > Tests button > Phone Information)
