Isnt it sad? I have restarted my phone and was reading morning news for a while... I have only 15 MB free after start up (some process in background). I often get out of memory exception, programs cant paint graphics (can only acces menu), programs closing after while. My older smartphone (Qtek 8500) has much bigger RAM.
I have to have several restarts a day.

I believe its a real shame on htc

I have program 15.29mb and storage 18.87mb

what do yyou have installed that you have only 2mb free ram?

Just run and close Resco Explorer, Gentimer and few other programs. Then checked mails and started read rss and open links in internet explorer.

I have like 12MB free after restart- DontForget 2.0 is in the autostart, that's it
It's so damn sad. Is there gonna be a solution?!

I install most of the programs on my storage card and why would you have all that open at one time? close it when you are finished and open another one!!!

after hardreset, and the first time you you see my today screen, after 3 seconds the phone will start to install application. well I soft reset my phone before that and so I end up with more free space!

Is this a problem? Was just thinking about getting one but i don't like this RAM issue.
Is it a problem at all?

well it's an issue to me, not being able to launch as many apps as I used to launch with my vox is a real problem. Especially since i'm a big messenger user so I have to let skype and IM+ running in background all the time.
As there is no such thing as ram extention in this kind of phone, I'm considering returning the phone. Which is a shame because apart from that i'm quite happy with it.

I fount this!

It is definately a must have. The memory clear tool works like a charm. Using the built in task manager it clears me up from 3 - 5 megs after some heavy use in many programs. Right after that I went into its memory cleaner and it put me up to 15 free in less than a second. Not a lot free but its just about as high as anyone has seen which makes it very usable. And SK tools has a bunch of other really good built in tools.
I'll mirror it for a little while and edit in a link to where I downloaded it from. I am heading out and dont have the time to dig it up right now.
http://www.ripskin.net/sktoolslite.exe thats the exe off my hdd which I used to install, hope that helps. Must have application for everyone.

Isn't this function already in the SmartToolKit?

It looks like that has a built in task manager that is performing better than the stock one from what other users have said, (about the alpha 4 version) However it could work better if not just as well as the one I posted about in that other forum.
The biggest difference I can see between the two applications is Smart Toolkit looks like more of a GUI update to windows with a possible update to how task manager works. SkTools is just a program designed to clean up the phone, registry, memory, space and such by finding things your phone doesnt need and deleting them.
I just found an updated release from Nov 13th which I might download and put on to see how well it works Being able to organize my start menu would greatly help lol, the default is such a disorganized mess.

I agree! The 'official' version is here: http://s-k-tools.com/sktools/sktoolslite.zip
I've put a link to the FreeUP RAM app in my start menu and use Auto SoftReset to reboot the phone at 3am every day. Seems to be working ok - when I unlock the phone in the morning it reports around 17MB free after cleaning things up.
I've had a few lockups though - usually when trying to set up Facade or Papyrus. I think I'll leave them off for now. It's a shame - except for this, and the restrictive OS compared to PPC (or WM6 Pro or whatever it's called today), it's a great phone! Having HSDPA is brill!

This is NOT a solution. Can this issue be solved with ROM update?

How much RAM
Hi. I'm having the same RAM issues, but how much free RAM is smartphones supposed to have? It's annoying having to think about having enough memory all the time.

update...
tweaking in progress... (it could be even a bit higher but the screenshot software and task manager take some memory)

PIE probleme

I reset my Tilt according to this link to get rid of AT$T bloatware according to this http://www.pocketables.net/2008/01/10-tips-on-fixi.html
The phone reacted much faster afterwords but PIE is having problems: links aren't high lighted, pictures aren't shown and when I try to download programs I get the "no permissions" error
Anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this? Don't suggest Opera 9.5, as I tried to install this from a download on this forum and the installation froze after 20K

never ran into this .. don't know why ur installation of opera got stuck.. i have a copy of the opera mobile build by gsleon3 in my 4shared acct: link in sig. try that one and u should get a install. also take a look at opera mini. i prefer it over pie and opera 9.5.

Awsome you said to do what he asked you not to.
Did you verify your connection settings for media net or whatever it is that you use?

thanks for the productive reply. my reason for suggesting was simply because he might have downloaded a bad cab or something of that sort. the build i recommended is a port from vga over to kaiser by gsleon3 and so far people who have used it are running it w/o problem.
and i don't think his isp settings are bad as he is only having this problem in pie; not in all data apps, or atleast he didn't mention he does.

ACTUALLLY dear friend, he does mention a problem with data, he can't download opera. Also, how is you trying to help with opera helpful to this post. At least I'm starting at ground one by having him check the settings. I would say make sure it's plugged in first but of course this is a wireless device.
oldfossil did you installed the advanced config stuff which allows you to save temp internet files to the SD card? If so make sure it's saving to the phone.
Jimmy
I'm sure after your father digs mine up, he will be too tired to fight back. The vault and coffen are quite heavy.

Mine's Bigger

Ouch, I got stuck in a flame war!
Thanks for the replies.
I am pretty much clueless about newer systems (ergo the "oldfossil"). My brain is stuck in the days of pre GUI's when I did my programming and system building so it takes me a little time to figure stuff out in newer systems.
thesire: I couldn't find Opera in your 4share. I want to use Opera mobile or PIE over opera mini because mini doesn't allow secure connections.
So, my MediaNet is set to connect to the network using MediaNet. Is this correct? Should it be AT&T ISP? I can connect to the internet, I just don't get full content.

don't worry about your medianet settings they are fine.
Here is the cab for opera (its under the cabs folder)
http://www.4shared.com/file/5001468...126__Uninstallable__WM5_Compatible__QVGA.html
i would suggest downloading it on your pc and copy to your storage card (if you have one) and run them cab from there.

yes let's just forget your problem. It's ok.

chumley did u read what he posted ????

obviously problem w/browser not data connection. instaed of trying to argue read what the op is posting and help him.

OK you two. Sir Chums, The Sire, lets act like the adults we are. The benefit of a forum setting like this is people will come up with different answers.
Maybe Chumley is thinking of something in the Data Settings that the OP forgot. Maybe Proxy. Who knows the Proxy Causes weird issues.
And for TheSire, yes he asked about PIE but if he gets Opera working he won't have to worry about the PIE issue.

Thanks for more feedback.
I actually got Opera 9.5 working and have installed mini also. IE still doesn't give full content (some links are active, others are not; pics not shown).
An issue with Opera 9.5: When I try to log into my gmail account I get a blank white screen. Any settings/fixes I should be aware of?

I don't have that problem. The only solution I can give is to "Go around it"
Which is Download the Gmail.jar and install that in your Midlet Manager, which I believe you have since you installed Opera Mini.

HTC GPS Tool 1.2.2.17 (VGA Support)

It was brought to my attention that no one has posted the latest version of HTC GPS Tool (which supports VGA) as a .cab, so, now i've posted it. Taken from Raphael Test ROM.

HTC GPS Tool V1.1.1.0 is about 276kb and this new version is only 26.1kb, and after installing on AT&T FUZE (Touch PRO) I don't see the link any where. Is there any problem with this file? did this work for any one?
Thanks

EDIT:: The cab didnt add an icon correctly to control panel (atleast for me).
This cab should add an icon to the start menu/programs folder.
EDIT 2:: Ive noticed this version (and others) dont have the clear memory option, shame :s

What does this version do better or differently from 1.1.1.0? You mentioned VGA support, but I am able to run the latter on my VGA screen without noticeable problems; what would I get from installing the new version?

From what ive seen i still prefer 1.1.1.0 because it has a "clear memory" function which will remove ALL ephiremis data and start from scratch (ruling out any QuickGPS data which is invalid), the functiosn the newer versions offer dont seem to be any different, perhaps split into seperate screens but thats about it.

Thanks for posting a fixed cab, mrvanx
I think HTC split off the memory clearing function to a seperate app in the newer builds, in one of the ROM's I was poking through I saw "ClearGPSData.exe" or something similar, i'll see if I can't dig it up.
BTW won't deleting \Windows\xtra.bin clear the QuickGPS data? Or do you mean the epheremis data stored in the GPS chipset's firmware?
Edit: here's the CleanGPSData.exe program - it communicates directly to the GPS0: port provided by the gpsdriver.dll rather than going through the gpsid_HTC.dll provided COM4: port as any other app would. On blackstone this is set to execute at every startup (which would explain why they removed it from HTC GPS Tool)

What is the chip that we should select for FUZE? is it Q7200?

Yes, Q7200.

You can move it from "Programs"or copy a shortcut to Windows/StartUp, and it will run at every Soft Reset....

Thanks Da_G
Thanks for posting the new cab per my request on your ROM thread. Best regards, Michael.

What exactly is this program doing?
After clicking Open Port, it keep running like crazy all these codes...
I was wonder if there is a GPS signal booster
They told me that QuickGPS suppose to help your GPS signal, but I don't see the different. Now you guys said this one is better than QuickGPS... what can it do?

QuickGPS and HTC GPS Tool serve different purposes.
QuickGPS connects to a network server to download up-to-date epheremis data based on the MCC-MNC of the network you are currently connected to. This data gets saved as \Windows\xtra.bin and when AGPS is active, it gets factored into the intial fix, to speed up TTFF (Time To First Fix)
HTC GPS Tool allows you to view raw NMEA data stream as provided by GPS Intermediate Driver, and also through various menus to view information on current location, DOP (Dilution Of Position, or somewhat like 'accuracy'), and a sky-view of the satellites the GPS unit is seeing. This is useful if your GPS program does not report such information, which most do not.

Bump for a new version, first post

I got your tool for the Diamond, but it told me that it could not be opened. Is this application strictly for the Touch Pro? or can be used (but needs modification) for the diamond?

JUST INSTALLED THIS AND I GOT 1.2.2.11
Where is 1.2.2.17
i used the first cab file

Whoops, you're right. updated the first post w/new cab.

no more GPS fix on JADE
Weird, after one month perfect usage of HTC Jade, I, first time utulised QuickGps funtion and downloaded sattelite data.
Unfortunatelly, the result, GPS fix no more able...
Do you think HTC GPS TOOL uphere resolves the problem on my JADE too?

does it turn on/off GPS for Touch Pro / Fuze?

OK, This new one works good on my HTC Touch Pro.
The old tool did crash after a few minutes (also odd behaviour with jumping satelites in satelite view).
This satelite view is good, only display is flashing, while refreshing the view.
Seems stable for longer periods.
More possibilities for other devices/gps chipsets.

Android VNC Viewer

So last night i saw a post on googles own vnc viewer which is coded to work on the g1 and the android emulator.
Well, I forwarded my ports correctly and setup my server accordingly. I am using TightVNC as well as UltraVNC at seperate times.
I am able to establish a connection through all services on my g1, (3g edge and wifi). Only when I arrive on the connection
I am greeted with only a black screen. I switch to mouse control on my g1 by pressing trackball and can see me moving the pc mouse from my g1.
So my connection is working flawlessly but my only error is that i cant see anything on my g1.
Is there a special mirror driver i must install??? somebody please help me for i use remote desktop as a part of everyday life

If your talking about this one -- http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/ -- its not Google's by the way. The problem is you either got dual screens or your resolution is just too high, the problem is your running out of memory on the device to show that large of an image. If you read the updates on there though they mention they are fixing this in the next update.
Try to set your resolution lower, the lower the more responsive your connection will be.

On 3g I experience a "lag" when it gets the first screen. On wifi I do not.
How long have you waited at that black screen? (it usually takes like 30 sec over 3g for me)... I use ubuntu and vino as the vnc server on my home PC.
edit: btw, I run 1440x900 resolution...

I compiled the latest git which has the fixes for high resolutions and some others. It's still a little buggy, but I like it better than the official released version.
I had to zip it to attach it (I don't have anywhere I can host currently).
Enjoy!

Never tried it over 3G, mostly just played with it on the home network.. I usually just access through SSH over 3G instead. I'm on Ubuntu 8.10 using the default share desktop/vino also. I have a 19inch & my laptop screen as dual screening and was to impatient to wait and see if it'd even come up. 1440x900 is pretty big, thats what I had on the one screen when I turned it off and it was really slow. If you bring it down to 800x600 then your good, but pretty useless if your actually on the machine at that.
You could try running a virtual machine with a low resolution and leave that running for when you want to remote in.

Thank you very much for the responses. I am ignorant for thinking a early beta vnc viewer wil display my 1900x1200 resolution. Thanks for all the help

This Works
i use tightvnc works great over 3g and wifi this was one of few apps that impressed my heavy fanboy iphone owner to admit "thats pretty cool" lol

I didn't post this on here cause I figured it's a bit low level for this sort of board but I made this for TmoNews & also put it on Android Community:
There are quite a few different ways to control your PC with your G1. Here I will specifically explain only one of the options, Remote Desktop via a VNC server. If this sounds complicated to you, it's really only takes a few minutes (though it can be slightly more complicated if you have a router). There are many tutorials out there for setting up VNC servers that may explain things a bit better than I do but I will focus on getting it working on the G1. Feel free to do a google search to learn about this a bit more in depth.
First, on your PC
1) Download and install UltraVNC. Any VNC software should work but this one is free and works well. http://www.uvnc.com/download/index.html
2) Configure VNC. Now that you've installed UltraVNC, open the server by going to Start, Programs, UltraVNC and click UltraVNC Server
Now right click the eye logo on in the system tray and select admin properties.

You should now see this screen:
Set a password that you will remember later on. Hit apply when done.
3) Get your IP address. Go to Ipchicken.com. The large number displayed on the screen is your ip number. Either write this down or keep this window open for later reference.
4) If you don't have a router, skip to the G1 steps. If you do have a router, you have one more thing to do. What you need to do is configure the router to open up port 5900. This is the port that VNC and your G1 will communicate through. There are way too many different routers for me to explain the exact steps to take. However, a google search with your router's brand and the keywords port forwarding should come up with the exact steps for you to take. Here is a screenshot of what my port fowarding screen looks like in the hopes that it may help:
Steps on your G1
1) Set your G1 to allow for the installation of non-market app's. If you've done this already, skip to step 2. If you haven't: from the home screen, hit menu, settings, applications. Check off the box next to "Unknown sources."
2) Download and install Android VNC Viewer. http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/.
3) Launch androidVNC. You should see this screen:
Put in the ip address you obtained from ipchicken for address and the password you set earlier in VNC server for password and hit connect. In a few moments time, you should see your desktop screen on your G1!
If the app fails to connect, it will cause a force close (it's still not quite finished). If it fails, go back and double check that you've correctly done the previously listed steps. I got this working in under 5 minutes and if you're savvy with this sort of stuff, you should be able to do so as well.
Anyone sees any errors I made in this, please let me know so I can fix them. Hopefully I was clear and correct.

I will try the androidVNC posted in here and see how that works.

This is a compiled version of the r12 update to android-vnc-viewer. It appears to add support for selecting something other than 64 colors at connect time if your VNC server does not support that. There are some other small changes as well.
There still isn't a binary later than the 2008-12-05 release so I am providing it here so everyone can benefit from the latest code. I've been using it to connect to UltraVNC servers at work through an OpenVPN tunnel (woot @ openvpn) and at home to an xtightvnc server with no problems.
Maybe someday I'll learn a little java so I can contribute some code back to these guys. This app is awesome

refresh?
Hi,
I installed the apk file and got it to connect to my vnc server. However, i seem to only get a snapshot of the desktop and am unable to control the computer. Is there a setting to have it refresh or send commands to the server or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

There is only a limited amount of memory available for a framebuffer on the G1. Because of this sometimes it is not able to display the whole screen in fullscreen mode.
What you can do is go to Menu, select Scaling, and choose 1:1. This will give you a non-scaled version of the screeen. It will start in desktop panning mode by default. You can then use screen gestures or the trackball to move to the portion of the screen you would like to work on. Press the trackball button to toggle to mouse mode. You can then touch the screen to "click" on where you would like. You can toggle back to panning mode by pressing the trackball button again.
Hope this helps!

this works fairly well. i am posting this through vnc right now using my puter at home... hehe
EDIT: some screen shots

double clicking and cursor
Very cool, I see how clicking the button toggles between mouse moving and desktop panning mode. How do I double click and is there any way to get the mouse cursor to appear?

Great!
@Rfairburn Nice work!
I had problems with the market version of VNC due to my screen res being 1900x1200 (black screen on connect). I tried yours instead and it's perfect.
Still struggling to navigate in this app. I liked the mixed mouse option and that you added Ctl-Alt-Del to the menu. Can anyone share how to send an Escape key?, and double-clicking seems still to be elusive. Thanks for the great work though, this is a big improvement!

to double click use the trackball as the mouse and double click as for escape i have no solution. but rfairburn you are my hero for compiling this great upgrade. you are a great help to the community

I didn't write any of it. I just downloaded the latest updates from http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/ and compiled them for use.
I just wanted to make it widely available since there wasn't a compiled version available for download.

One question... how do you create the apk file from the zip file you compiled? I already have the SDK (which I used to root the phone, move caches, etc..) if that's what is needed.

I followed the process on http://code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html and used eclipse to build stuff. The latest r17 build that I compiled a couple of days ago (in another post on here) had some additional dependencies which I downloaded as well.

This works!!

Excellent Instructions Carlitozway57! Thank you. This works like a charm! I tested this on 3G and WIFI. I also tried it on EDGE but it lagged a little.

Hello,
I've tried the androidVNC with TightVNC, RealVNC and WinVNC - and I haven't managed to make a connection with any of them.
I haven't got a router. I have typed both the IP address and the password correct. All the androidVNC does is that it tries to connect for a few minutes and then reports it has failed.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using the 3G network since I don't have Wifi available. I'm running Vista on my PC.
Any advice is very much appreciated.

Temporary root for Droid 3

I want a temporary root, because I don't want to change roms or anything yet. Mainly for free wireless tether. I would like to have something like z4root. Is there anything like this?
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA App

Z4 doesn't work for GB, also you can tether w/out being rooted, theirs a guide in the Development Section.

Heres the guide posted in the dev section;

Wireless Tethering is one of the main things I miss about not having root. I specifically bought a wifi only Xoom because I knew I could just tether it to my phone. When I switched to the droid 3 believing it would come unlocked it was like a kick in face.
Recently I came across a thread from Team Black Hat describing a way of enabling free tethering on Verizon without root. In their write up they provide a flashable zip. Useless for us as we don't have root, or a recovery, but it got me thinking. All credit for this goes to Team Black Hat. They rock, I really hope they are working on rooting the droid 3 because they are android gods.
The original thread by TBH can be read here.
I'm not going to go too in depth here, because if you screw you have the possibility to brick your pretty new device. Also, It goes against your TOS with Verizon, and who knows one day they might work out a way to tell who is doing this. The more people who know and use this trick, the more likely it is they will find some way of detecting and or closing the hole.
But I couldn't leave my XDA brothers out of the loop! So with the standard disclaimer (I'm not responsible for anything you do, anything that comes of something you do, blah blah, you know the deal) I will outline the steps required to enable free tethering on our wonderful Droid 3s.
I did this on a windows 7 64 bit pc. The radiocom software would def be happier with a 32 bit xp system, it will throw a lot of errors, but it will work. More on that in a second.
1st. You need the most recent drivers for your computer so that your computer can see your phone. You can get them off the Motorola website, same as if you were going to use adb or RSDlite. The file I downloaded from the moto support site was called MotoHelper_2.0.49_Driver_5.0.0.exe
2nd. You need a copy of Radiocom. Radiocom is a piece of software thats supposed to be for moto employees only and allows you to read and write data directly to your software radio. You need to search the internet for it, because its a copyrighted file I can't post it for you. You need to find the latest version. The best version I found was RadioCOmm_v11.11.11_Install.msi - You also need the .net framework installed on your computer. You can get that from Microsoft's site for free.
3. You need a USB cable and a droid 3.
Now... crack a beer and lets get down to business.
1. Install the moto drivers and the .net framework. Install Radiocom. It will give you all sorts of errors, but it will install.
2. Next, find it under your start menu. Right click on it, and select "trouble shoot compatibility" I just ran with the suggested settings. Basically what this does is run the application under XP compatibility mode. Now take a sip of beer, you are gonna get some error messages but don't tweak.
a. You will still get the first screen that says do you want ot the following program from an unknown company to make changes on your computer - check yes.
b. it will say motorola datacard drivers 1.5.9 : this installation is intended for 32-bit os versions only.please use the 64bit version on this machine. click okay.
c. Installation incomplete: the installer was interrupted before motorola datacard drivers 1.5.9 could be instaled. You need to restart the installer to try again. hit close.
d. Warning: Motorola Dataard Drier installlation package ersion mismatch. the version supplied with this tool does not match the installed version on the machine. WE cannot guiarantee proper radio enumeration unless you install the latest version. the installation package will start again the next tiem this tool is started. Click OK
e. This version of RadioCOmm is more that 2 months old. This version may be out of date. Please visit the PDO compass webpage and download the latest version of RadioComm. - Click OK.
Radiocom will start! Phew!
you will have to select the chipset at start: I selected CDMA 1x (MSM 7500) w/ Android. I don't know if this is the best or most accurate one. I actually spent 45 minutes trying to search for exactly what our chipset base was... but I decided to be brave (or stupid) and went with this one and it worked. after it boots, Under settings in radiocom, USB, Select PST USB Driver.
3. Now, Connect your droid 3 to your computer and put it in PC mode. If you installed the drivers correctly you should get this cool little screen showing your phone and telling you some info about it that pops up from motos software. in radiocom software in the upper right of the screen right under the RC logo, the lgiht should turn green to show the phone is connected. You can test by pushing the GET button under the SW version. It should return your Android software version. DON'T PUSH ANY OTHER BUTTONS. YOU COULD REALLY SCREW SOMETHING UP.
Now a little background, you can read TBH's awesome explanation, but the quick and dirty one is that moto's software radio uses three different 128 char string identifiers for data requests. Thats how they can tell the difference between your phones web browser asking for data, and a laptop or Xoom connected to your phone asking for data. We are going to use Radiocom to make all three strings match the first string - so all data appears to be just for the phone. After doing so - your verizon installed hotspot app will work and the usb tethering option will too! ta da!
Team black Hat has made a screen shot showing all the steps required it can be viewed here.
I'll also try including it right here but i'm not sure how it will look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. now take a deep breath... use the arrows in the Radiocom program to find the tab marked P2K 1.
Look at the image and in your Radiocom program in the bottom left there is a box called STELEM/ RDELEM. First Select Dec entries.
Rdelem means read, and STELEM means write.
now this is very very important. Do not screw this part up. make sure again you have selected Dec entries, because if you enter the numbers below in hex mode and then hit DEC they will change and you will be reading and writing the wrong values which is BAD.
In Dec Mode
For ElementID: enter 8040
Record # 1
offset 0
length 128
Now Hit RDELEM. the box in the top right should go green, a bunch of numbers should flash through but most importantly right next to where you entered the element ID and record number the box that says Data (hex only) will now have a 128 char string in there. Hilight the entire 128 byte string and copy it.
4. You are now going to change the element ID to 8041 (record, offset, length stay the same) and hit RDELEM. If you compare these two numbers they are different, this is how moto knows you are tethering. You would have to paste both into a word file becuase they both end in a bunch of 00's so in the tiny data box they look the same, but trust me they are different. Select the data in the databox for 8041 and delete it. Paste the number from 8040. Now hit STELEM. Again you should see a bunch of numbers go through that box on the top right and it should be green.
5. Now you are going to do the same things for element numbers 8042, and 8043. Remember each time to hit RDELEM first, paste the value from 8040, then hit STELEM.
6. Now hit the restart button next the text box top center. You phone will restart. it will say something scary at first like SIm card not found. This is normal. Give it a Second and it will be right back to normal, you will have your 3G icon and be able to make calls, send texts etc.
EXCEPT.... Now you can use the verizon mobile hotspot application and it won't send to that verizon website that says "would you like to pay for tethering?" - you have just successfully hacked your radio to make verizon believe all data requests are phone data requests.

We might not have root yet, but now we have free wireless tethering! I have had this running for about 24 hours and everything seems perfectly functional. My xoom connects right away to my phone and the distance is actually pretty good (like from bed to desk.. not just pocket to hand). Speeds are functional, just like you would get on the phone.
I hope I have made the wait for root just a little easier for my fellow XDA'ers... I know despite the fact I'm taking the Bar exam in 3 days I still check the forums every hour hoping against hope for some new news of root .... or hell... even video chat working in talk (gchat/huddle/etc).
Again I take no credit for this, All thanks to Team Black Hat! But if you wanted to press the thanks button it would make feel all warm and fuzzy inside =)
