[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
Also well said. I think XDA is probably one of the best forums for learning about all things G1/Android. There are a lot of sites out there for the masses, where you find multiple threads of "How do... Should I... I hate... I got the OTA.... LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME" threads that turns those forums into any other forum.

I am glad that I can come here to find ANSWERS. I, myself, would say I might have jumped into rooting a little early, but I understand what I have done and anything I don't understand I have not done. The things I want to do I will understand/research first, and if need to I will ask THIS community and take in the trusted information.

Once again this forum is appreciated and hopefully as the commmunity and I grow, I will be able to contribute a fraction of what already has.
[G1 Android Development] JesusFreke:
Hats off to you for making sure you understand what you are doing before doing it, instead of blindly typing commands someone else posted :)
[G1 Android Development] UnkzDomain:
Even the tinfoil ones?!?!?! IT"S A CONSPIRACY!!! :eek:

JK...

Seriously though, I have the same sentiments as All~G1 about this site. If I hadn't had seen this site back before I even got a G1 when it got "jailbroken" and made frontpage news on every single tech blog ever (pretty hard to miss, eh? :p) I'd probably be sitting in my house somewhat content with my G1 on stock RC30, without awesome themes and tethering and half the apps that I have now since I moved /data/apps to a partition on my SD card :D

So thanks, XDA!

[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Installing an update completely wipes out the system partition and replaces it with the new code. Thus any methods to get a root id or inherently assigned root ids from the old system software will be completely replaced. It will still be possible to return to a root-accessible RC30 using the SPL, but until a modified version is released (or you mod it yourself), there will be no root access on the new system software.

By the way, this thread is beginning to devolve into the "evil corporations vs open source" argument. Let's try to stay on topic ("G1 OTA updates for rooted phones"), lest the thread be locked and deleted.
[G1 Android Development] deprecate:
Even if a new bootloader were installed via the next update, until they patch the camera+power hole, there is nothing that can be done to prevent people from rooting their devices.

Of course...if they had something in place that forced updates for anything <rc31, I could see an interesting battle...

Say something along the lines of...

if keys = test||ota and version = < rc31 then OOOGALEE BOOGALEE

That could prove to be nasty.

The only safe harbor would be ADP1...
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
@benmyers2941 the reason we think that we assume that is because not only did they patch the root bug, they changed permissions for EVERY binary on the system to make sure we couldnt find some other way to get root access. If i remember correctly they even deleted the "su" binary in that update.

For those that think they cannot patch it, yes they can patch the keys to not allow the nbh files to flash which means no downgrade. You can be sure if that happens that the only root hack will be a *REAL* expliot, not a lucky image that someone leaks and from what happened last time Id assume that is not very easy to do.

And for all those noticing how great XDA-devs is for getting reliable information, where have you been? It has been that way for what? 4-5 years? I always check here for the latest updates to the cell phone world.
[G1 Android Development] deprecate:
Good point on the keys. Of course, they wouldn't dare strip dev phones of their abilities...so I can see only one way to prevent consumer phones from having ADP1 images installed...

if $BackCover = awesome && $KeyPad = shiny{...}

:)
[G1 Android Development] benmyers2941:
I wasn't aware that they'd changed the permissions too. Admittedly after I "accidently" got myself stuck with RC30 I haven't been paying all that close attention to the rooting developments until now. :o
[Touch GSM General] svarogg:
i flashed it with non-original rom and it doesnt switch on properly. i turn it on, then it shows T-mobile logo, then switched off. any solution?????
[Touch GSM General] b1oh4zard:
I have the same problem. Have you found a solution yet ?

thanks
[S740, S743 General] Calvin.:
Does anyone know if there is a way to show the O2 Homezone indicator in the status bar (e.g. left of the battery status)?

I searched the web and this forum, but the only solutions I found were for PDA phones with touchscreen not smartphones like the S740.
[S740, S743 General] 4omega:
Hi again.

Does anybody have an idea about a screensaver for the Rose? Something, where I could see the time and the missed sms, emails and calls? Something, like always the Nokia phones have.

Thanks for the answers!
[S740, S743 General] Calvin.:
On my old WM5 Smartphone I used and really liked maniac's Automatic Keylock but on the S740 I couldn't get it to update the email count. Also the device lock didn't behave as I'm used to.

Give it a try, maybe it fits your needs or you can figure out how to fix the issues that I experience...
[S740, S743 General] 4omega:
Thanks for the tip, but I was not able to configure the programm that it will run on my Rose :( I dont think its for WM 6.1 devices and thats the problem. Hope, somebody will make program like this in the near future. I am ready to pay for it, dont need freeware :) I need it very much.

Regards Robert
[S740, S743 General] 4omega:
I am sorry, I was wrong. The Automatic Keylock screensaver runs very well on the Rose, it is only a matter of the right configuration of the programm. It is simple and work great incl email, sms etc. notification.

If somebody would like to use it on the Rose and would have problems with the setting, dont hesitate to contact me.
[S740, S743 General] Calvin.:
Do you use device lock or key lock?
[S740, S743 General] 4omega:
Hi. I dont use nothing of them. I use just the Supress Key presses option in the screensaver. But the Keylock runs well too, I tried it, but dont like to press two keys to unlock the phone :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cy-rock:
Hi,

I'm using the diamond for a month now, and when i'm on a call for lets say an hour or less, it becomes really hot - i feel like i ll be able to cook eggs...

anybody experienced that?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Driskol:
LOL Yes :D

Wifi on helps u to oveheat your fingers in winter, really usefull xD

Srsly, gets so hot, its normal
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cy-rock:
actually cool wher i live ...its - 30 in wnter :)

but still...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pacharru:
Yep, gets hot but not that bad.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
your rom and radio effect the temperature somehow. i remember early radios it got realy hot then 1.00.25.05 came out and it was solved.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cy-rock:
then i might consider installing a new radio version..cause it gets really hot....

when i ll be able to synch my diamond =!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dagi:
in mine diamond temperature depends of using wi-fi

if i'm using wireless lan and the "power save mode" is turned to best batterry mode there is no such a hot....but on "best performance mode" temperature of the phone is much higher...

so i think that everything depends of wi-fi
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cy-rock:
wifi is off tho...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] chunga168:
I'm using 1.00.25.05 and I can say that if you talk over like an hour... it'll definitely be hot... heck even 15 mins get pretty warm...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Dr.Raja:
yep, mine too...

I got the diamond less than a month ago, I also felt that it gets hot, especially when you're working him hard :) but I upgraded the ROM a week ago, and I think that it's better now...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cy-rock:
which radio version u using ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] band27:
Yes, once you have found the right radio/rom combo, heat like that shouldn't happen in general use. Mine used to over heat with SwiftBl 7.5 ....don't remember the radio I had back then.....after the switch to 2.03 roms and for me, the use of 1.08.25.20, it has been running much cooler.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Riel:
Come on it's 600 mhz there running *notso optimal* inside that tight case :)

Ever navigated 2 hours? Almost starts to shine then.

Chips can be around 85 degrees before malfunction, so let it be. You manage 50 degrees with diamond, that's safe but feels very, very hot.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hillsy202:
mine gets hot when i recharge it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] moltione:
My phone gets hot when in use or charging.

Doesnt bother me as its a small phone and as already stated the heat is a side effect of the componets working hard!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] owziee:
Well I guess it may not be any danger for the device itself but I'm pretty sure it's not very good for the battery since heat can overexcite the chemicals in the battery & shorten its overall lifespan.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cigraphics:
off: give your phone a girl to chill him up :))

on: yeah mine too when i use gps, internet and charge the battery
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] roabras:
Mine gets hot when I turn Wifi on.

[Touch HD General] PGMMA:
Has anyone tried using WSPHeader.cab to solve the small picture size on received MMS with Touch HD?

The registry settings for WSPheader on the Touch HD are:

Accept	application/vnd.wap.mms-message,*/*

Accept-Language	en

x-wap-profile	http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_Touch_HD_T8282-1.0.xml

WSPHeader.cab makes these changes:

Accept application/vnd.wap.mms-message;*/*;

User-Agent prodigy/arcsoft-mmsua-ppc-3.0.0.xx

Profile http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/wizard-2.0.xml

I'm being cautious because I'd rather have small pictures and working MMS than no MMS.
[Touch HD General] PGMMA:

I forgot to mention that I'm on T-Mobile USA. If anyone is using a Touch HD, Diamond or Pro on T-Mobile USA and the pictures are not being resized, please provide the WSPHeader registry settings.

[Palm Treo Pro] Sjengie:
Hi,

is it normal for the TP not to connect automatically to my 3G network whenever I open programs such as Opera or Google Maps ?

it worked fine with my previous Touch Diamond.

now i need to go to Comm Manager and manually activate Data Connection

very awkward
[Palm Treo Pro] Sjengie:
Am I alone with this problem ?

Eventhough my data connection is on, i cannot send/receive mail, open sites etc etc.

I need to open connections and to "manage" (= go through the settings without changing anything) existing connections before it works again for a short period.

strange, bug ?
[Palm Treo Pro] jsp_m:
I can tell you mine connects (dials-up) automatically, works like a charm

The problem I am having is after a soft reset I need to recreate the connection (write in APN again), as it simply won't connect

do not worry about the poor feeback around here; Palm Treo Pro has a strange user pool, not in to flashing, modding, or pretty much anything, just application and accessories (I am the only one to notice that? Is that beacuse the users came from Palm OS platform and are not used to reap the benefits of this?)
[Palm Treo Pro] mikewchandler:
nawww...I'd say b/c it is targeted for business users. I may not be a typical business user but the older I get, I am. I can say that I like to get a phone that works for me, not the other way around. The treo is just that. Not too much modding these days...but that's just me.

about the data connection, that is not normal. Have you tried a hard reset? Sounds like something is wrong.
[Palm Treo Pro] Sjengie:
thx Mike !

forgot that one, I used the Treo straight out of the box without a prior hard reset when I brought it home to Morocco from the US.

a hard reset seems to do the job !

but I have not yet re-installed my software like SPB Mobile Shell, Slovo Ed Dictionary, Opera mobile beta and treo BT update.

lets see how it goes one by one !
[Palm Treo Pro] trustworthy:
This is exactly the problem that I am having too. Have you found a way to sort it out?
[Palm Treo Pro] slob13:
Does somebody now how to change Keyboard layout in Treo Pro

Tried [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] No changes at all :(
[Palm Treo Pro] frause:
There are third part software that can do that. One (which I use) is AE Keboard Mapper. There are probably others.
[Palm Treo Pro] slob13:
Thanks, but I only want to change a layout because I have AZERTY and I need QWERTY. I haven't had this problem In Hermes and Touch pro.
[XPERIA X1 General] deathblad3:
I had a diamond before I got my Xperia, besides the little problems like the bluetooth turning off (fixed with good ol' mortscript) and stuff its awesome.All though the camera is realy bad, it gives a realy nice picture but the exposure time is way too long even with sport mode on. you've got to hold the thing perfectly straight for a second or two other wise its blur-city.

Is this just my X1 or are others having the same problem?

Can't say I use the camera much just would be nice to find some sort of reg key or something to make it a bit more functional.
[XPERIA X1 General] johnchan78:
Yes, the camera is virtually unusable as-is, because you have to keep it steady for ages.

And the problem is that if you give the phone to someone else to help you take a group picture, the long shutter time (which no one normally expects) means I have to go and explain to people to keep pressing for 2-3 seconds and not move at all.

It is stupid.
[XPERIA X1 General] deathblad3:
Yup, its a shame SE realy need to send out a few fixes for this phone, after all it is their flagship product at the moment, the O2 stores near me cant even get hold of them.

Bluetooth and Camera definatly need fixing
[XPERIA X1 General] johnchan78:
Unfortunately, since SE has decided not to use HTC to build their phones again, the Xperia X1's firmware is unlikely to be fixed ever again... sigh.
[XPERIA X1 General] Waco2:
Eh, it doesn't matter if SE cooperates with HTC or not, they have their own WM department and a new firmware is already out according to this (czech) site:

http://semania.mobilmania.cz/content/view/3163/2/
[XPERIA X1 General] sitelister:
One quick solution is going for infinity focus instead of auto-focus. Seems like the majority of the time is taken up by the focusing function.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
the tw rom is newer in the rom thread.

as to the focus i tend to press it and leave it.
[XPERIA X1 General] sitelister:
I'm trying to say that if you have focus set to auto (in the camera settings) it takes much longer to take a photo than when you have it set to infinity.
[XPERIA X1 General] johnchan78:
Not so easy to do this if you are at a party and want to take a group photo...

Maybe infinity focus is the answer...

btw do we know what the latest firmware is?
[XPERIA X1 General] shadowmike:
open the phone and press the enter button once, or press the ok/center dpad once to start the process of the picture being taken.

also use multi shot this allows you to take pictures after another and then later delete ones that you do not want.

the US x1 has a newer camera cab but it doesnt help the time it takes to take a pic
[XPERIA X1 General] fatso485:
i use sport mode with focus set to infinity as default settings. this gives great results and no need to hold still that much as some were suggesing.

overall the camera is great and its clearly better than the T*Omnia 5MP camera.

lets hope the new camera application from the Asian rom improve things. is it avalable CABed someware?
[XPERIA X1 General] deathblad3:
Sport and infinate

Although the focus isnt as good as Macro or Auto it is an improvment for the capture speed.

Setting to Sport and Infinate works a hell of a lot better than what I was using. (Sport and Auto).

Cheers guys.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nightrage:
I thought this for ages, its not true it really just means it has a slower shutter speed (multi-frame shot) which is why most of your pictures that involve movement will come out blurry.

Also, here is a hint for taking pictures faster: The button has 2 pressure points, hold the button down to the first point to focus, do NOT let go--then push it down all the way to take the picture it should do it instantly
[XPERIA X1 General] Poetique:
For me Sports + Infinite = instant picture.
[XPERIA X1 General] YouZi:
thanks a lot, I didn't know the entre button and do the work :D
[XPERIA X1 General] emwdava:
infinite=no autofocus
[XPERIA X1 General] Fille84:
When I change the standardfocus setting in the camera settings it won't save it. When I start the camera later it doesnt give me the right settings i choosed in camer settings. What am I doing wrong here? For example I wan't sport mode with macro, but I get sport mode with autofocus everytime I start the camera..
[XPERIA X1 General] bdangol:
You have to press the down arrow on the bottom right side of the screen when in settings this will bring a more detailed settings page and you can set the default settings in there and your camera will use them everytime

Good luck
[XPERIA X1 General] bugsykoosh:
I'm a Touch Pro user but we don't have the ability to do infinite zoom. It's probably a registry value we're missing. Would anyone mind sharing any registry strings that seem to discuss focus or zooming? It would likely be in HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] hypoh:
Same problem here. The default focus setting is infinite, but the camera is on auto everytime.

Hi everybody. I just want to know if I can actually watch Youtube videos on Excalibur or it's an urban legend?

I'm using Ricky's v24 no opera version and I tried to follow the definitive guide (well, not so definitive) to watch Youtube videos (found in this forum using the search), I also tried Htc Streaming Media (a .cab file someone posted here) and none of them worked.

I use Wi-fi to navigate most of the time, since I don't have a data plan. My router has no blocking stuff (I disabled all for testing purposes) and I'm using Internet Explorer to browse m.youtube.com, but so far I got nothing but a "failed to find network" from htc streaming media.

So.... I really don't know what to do.

If anyone does, please, share your knowledge with me. Thanks in advance.

Easiest way is to use Skyfire it's free, also i use CorePlayer to stream of mobile YouTube.
