Even though I was mostly *****ing about the arbitrary market as a whole, not just this app, you certainly did. Many thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] uberingram:
It's ADP causing it and the sole reason I temporarily went back to RC33.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Yeah, I guess so. It sucks a$$, because there's no way I'll ever bow down and put a T-Mo image on my dev phone. I'd rather turn to piracy than to shame myself like that :D

Is possible to rotate opera in horizontal position?

Then inside Opera, maintain the stylus on the browser screen until a menu appear allowing you to go to "landscape mode". :D

[G1 Android Development] SpartusTana:
Out of curiosity, does having root only enable all the stuff we can do to the phone, like boot screens, themes, etc.

or...

is there actually a way to navigate all the files on the SD card and phone from the terminal (on the phone). Because I see some phone screenshots with SD card folders on the home screen. How can I do this?

(Root and Folders on the home screen probobly have nothing to do with eachother.)

Sorry for the noob question :(

thanks in advance for your replies.

It seems that finally Google has released a sync for google calendar and contacts for WM (and iPhone) today.

Now to get it working...

http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html
[XPERIA X1 General] danielherrero:
Waiting for email and tasks sync too.... Then I will use it for sure...
[XPERIA X1 General] bongdelong:
yea nice... im waiting for this... used http://www.scheduleworld.com all the time :)
[XPERIA X1 General] grayme:
Well I can't get it to work. First screen asks for my email address, then when I enter my log in on the third it blanks out the domain then it just won't sync at the end. :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] MrRalphMan:
I got it up and running from the phone... First couple attempts failed, but I was choosing the Mail and tasks options, only selecting the Contacts and Cal entries (as per the instructions :o) meant it worked normally.
[XPERIA X1 General] grayme:
Shorted (sic)

No idea what the issue with mine was, but I reset and tried afresh and it's now going great guns.
[XPERIA X1 General] grayme:
Only one calendar?

It only appears to sync the one calendar...
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
mine doesn't work, i get an error "Your account in Exchange Server does not have permission to synchronize with your current settings. Contact your admin"

Support Code: 85010004 :confused:

anybody knows what this means?
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
I've not got it too work either yet, I wonder if it's being staged in a few accounts at a time?

{EDIT}

:doh, forgot I hadn't set a google calendar up on that g account.

As soon as I did and tried again it synched, maybe a coincidence but it's working now..
[XPERIA X1 General] bongdelong:
You have to choose Contacts and Calendar only... NOT Mail and Tasks :)
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
i have selected only Contacts & Calendar and i do have an active calendar account on google but still no luck :mad:

... i managed to sync my contacts by unticking the calendar option. i guess that would have to do for now
[XPERIA X1 General] achmed20:
hmk ...

the google description says, i have to enter my whole emails adress and google as domain.

fun part is, i cant enter the domain anymore, as soon i add an "@" sign :/
[XPERIA X1 General] mcbyte_it:
I tried it and it does work, but it has some limitations.

@grayme

about which calendar it syncs, Google help says it syncs only main calendar, not the others.

this is not enough for some, i want to sync more than one calendar, and the only valid solution for now is the OggSync Pro, which can sync many calendars, and you even select which method to do for each (2 way, incoming only or outgoing only).

@achmed20

google documentation is for an older version maybe, not WM6.1, the first windows you put your gmail address and password, then in later steps it will ask for server.
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
I wish Google would extend this service for push emails with their Gmail service!

I have to admit i was always reluctant to use much of Google's services apart from searching because they have a very dominant position in the market. But they seem to be implementing the right things for their customers at no extra cost! Who could say no to that? :eek:
[XPERIA X1 General] juro:
but the description says leave domain empty ;)

anyway, I got it finally working once I unchecked calendar. But what I do not understand is why it always try to use the data connection even if I am connected to wifi
[XPERIA X1 General] wallie-s:
Looks nice,

I'm using Nuevasync, does this job the same way. i've got 6 agenda's on my account, and there all in sync..
[XPERIA X1 General] scote:
Well there was an announcement recently that Google have licensed activesync so we may see more to come in this area

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/02/10/google_sync_for_iphone_windows_mobile/
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
I got it working =) nice way to sync my contacts with my google account =)
[XPERIA X1 General] mcbyte_it:
So you have tried to sync contacts? does it sync all contact detail? especially the birth date?

i configured my X1 to sync only calendar with Google Sync, for contacts i use Zyb and Funambol (still to decide which is better), i didn't use DashWire becuase it didn't have the birth date field synched...
[XPERIA X1 General] maedox:
It does not sync the birthday field. Sync-ed fields are:

- Name, title, company

- Email

- Phone

- Address

- IM

- More information (Notes field for example)
[XPERIA X1 General] Ves:
I have choosen to only sync my contacts, the rest is just too much trouble. The calander has causeing sync problems for me. And totally messing up my Agenda.
[XPERIA X1 General] McGilljam:
Maybe just because you didn't read everything carefully...

It said: When sync from Google Calendar for the first time... be sure to have an empty calendar on the phone... something like that...

Otherwise, you end up with an messy calendar on both... :D

You can use PCCPimBackup to empty the calendar on the phone. Options/Delete All/Appointments... DONE!

Now you can sync and be happy...
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
nice but i dont use google stuff
[XPERIA X1 General] grayme:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Lucas0511:
Just ahead of MS' My Phone beta this week, here comes Google Mobile Sync for WinMobile, with Exchanged-based Contacts and Calendar sync to the Google cloud. As its push based, changes in one end automatically get pushed to the other.

http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html

GMail Imap frustrates a lot of users, add Gmail to this Exchange-solution in the cloud, and I would never look back at Imap.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Snuurtje:
very nice i was waiting for this so long. Now only a way to download it... lol IE explorer and opera both give me: Google sync is not supported by your device. It becomes time google puts in a link to manually override this auto detecting crap, because it obviously doesnt work all to well...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GLOC:
This could be interesting but how well does Outlook 2003 sync with Google (in the sky)?

I use Google Calendar to Sync my outlook files so that I can share my calendar but if this does that for me, then I suppose I don't need to do that step (other than it would save my data plan!)

Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pw120:
There is no application to download, you just setup activesync on your phone as shown at this link

http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kilobulb:
nice. Although i'd only use this if you could turn off the contact sync. You could end up with a contact list full of your gmail suggested contacts...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sLoP:
I think you can indeed turn off the contact sync. Just uncheck "Contacts" in the ActiveSync settings dialog. Haven't tested this yet, but should do, doesn't it?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Raudi1:
I use www.nuevasync.com that offers a very similar service for some time now.

And since a few months ago it doesn't add those suggested contacts anymore because googles api can seperate them. Perhaps I'll try sync and see if it works as well as nuevasync does.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Garfoid:
I use OggSync Pro works great for what I need

[General Questions and Answers] bugsysiegals:
Is there a way I can plug my phone into the computer via USB or bluetooth it to a USB bluetooth dongle and have the PC recongnize it as a keyboard/mouse??

I know there is software like PPC Tablet which allows you to do this; however, you have to install a server application and run it. I want to be able to connect to ANY PC without having to start an application (since I wont have a keyboard/mouse to login and start a program) or install any drivers.

It seems like this would be possible by running an application on the phone which makes the computer recongize it as a keyboard and emulates a keyboard and sends the corresponding keystrokes.

Anybody??

it has been asked here before and i don't recall we managed to find a solution for this without using a server application. sorry

[G1 Android Development] Dharkaron:
Just to make sure, with the phone off you press and hold the home button and then press and hold (while still holding the home button) the power button. It should take ~20 seconds for the recovery mode screen to come up.
[G1 Android Development] natienn:
i tried and did not work
[G1 Android Development] andonnguyen:
Flash back to the original G1 theme, then try the update. Your theme may be preventing you from upgrading.
[G1 Android Development] natienn:
how do you flash to the original theme? do you know of any links? thanks
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Start holding the Home button before you press the Power button.
[G1 Android Development] natienn:
i tried that in different time lentghs from 10 seconds holdin both to 2 minutes, of course pressing the home key 1 sec before the power and holding both
[G1 Android Development] tchdud3:
Same problem

Need to bump this thread as I'm having the same issue. Have a HTC Dream with CyanogenMod-5.0.7-DS, trying to go to 5.0.8, but cannot get into Recovery Mode.

Yes, I am completely powering the phone off, holding Home just prior to pressing & holding Power. I keep both depressed for a few minutes and no joy, just sits at the G1 splash screen. I can remove the battery and press Power to bring the phone up normally. Have even dropped to the console, switched to root and issued "reboot recovery". The phone restarts and sits at the G1 splash screen as well.

Can anyone offer advice on how to restore my Recovery Mode? Many thanks...
[G1 Android Development] Gerdal:
You can try to reflash (or flash another) recovery with adb, fastboot or in terminal. Btw this thread is in wrong section. It should be in Q & A section.
[G1 Android Development] G1ForFun:
You could even flash a recovery image from within your rom...you said you could boot the phone normally correct?

So drop into terminal and flash it if you don't want to mess with adb.

The Amon Ra 1.7 Recovery thread has the commands you need to flash through terminal...
[G1 Android Development] yutsoku:
These people apparently are no help. If you hold down the home key and it stays at the G1, try fastboot by holding down the camera button on the side while you power it on. You only need to hold the home key until it vibrates. It should instantly boot into fast boot, if you're holding down camera when powering on.

... if you can get into fastboot, you might need to unroot your phone and reroot it.

... if you can't get into fastboot or recovery mode, then you probably bricked your G1 and you'll need a jtag or scrap it. Or if it's under insurance, tell them you updated and your phone is stuck on the G1 screen....

You could also try taking out your battery then powering it on into fastboot/recovery but odds are that wont help at all.

Hope this was some help.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Why would you need to reroot it, just flash a new recovery through fastboot.

fastboot flash recovery <name>.img
[G1 Android Development] yutsoku:
misread, yeah he could do that too but it would be easier to reroot if he knows how to do that... instead of learning a whole new method.

You're right though, that would be better. :P
[G1 Android Development] tchdud3:
Update

I am able to fastboot by holding the camera button in and powering on. It sounds like I just need to do the Amon Ra Recovery procedure in order to restore my recovery partition. I assume that I'll need to re-root, but I'm sure there are instructions there for that as well.

Thanks for all the quick replies!
[G1 Android Development] JadedTech:
So here's what I found....

I had the exact same problem, but first a little history then how I fixed it.

I purchased an 8GB MicroSD card so I could use Apps2SD and was quite pleased with the ability to do so. Until my battery life dropped to 5mins. It was already down from when I bought it last year.

The battery was severely screwed on my. If I used ANYTHING for more than 5 mins, it would die and would NOT boot up. Oh I could pres the power button and it would try to boot but then die somewhere in the boot process. That is until I plugged it into some charger (car or wall) and then it would boot, showing anywhere from 70 to 90% battery life.

After much research I found that it was the battery and so ordered a replacement off eBay from Hong Kong. $3.96 shipped to my door. Works great, and I am incredibly thankful for that.

So just prior to getting the battery I had done an upgrade to 5.0.8 with the vain hopes that it might help limp along but to no avail. The battery was gone.

Ok, so in comes the new battery. Great! I'll just reflash the ROM to make sure there are no lingering issues and we'll be good to go! Little did I realize that I did an 'upgrade' from CM Updater and when I booted into Recovery I flashed th zip file that was there....which was 5.0.7. DOH! No biggie, everything was working so I didn't worry too much.

Then I installed Clockwork's ROM Manager 1.8.x. A few days later there was an update, so I updated to 2.0.1.3. So I updated that. It went fine.

Few days later, and a few more apps re-installed, the system was running slow.

Apps2SD was greyed out. Huh?

Checked the card....Ubuntu was only mounting it Read Only. And the old swap partition, which I thought I had deleted, was still there. Dammt. But this s a side story I think.

So I wanted to reflash but there was no way I could do it because I could not get into Recovery mode. Ugh.

ROM manager had an update to 2.0.1.4. Ok, maybe that'll work. Nope. It said it updated fine but stuck at G1 logo like many others.

Doing some googling around I saw that it was a ROM Manager issue and that you should flash back down to 1.4.x. Well, since I knew it was working at 1.8.x I decided to reflash to 2.0.0.3. I could get into recovery mode now!

While this kinda solves one issue....I'll have to go into another thread to figure out the Read Only problem so I can re-partition my card again.

[G1 Android Development] Dharkaron:
Do you have the G1 data plan? Are you on Tmobile? If yes to both then you need to make sure you are entering your email (whole address xxxx@gmail.com) and password correctly.

If you dont have the data plan then you need to add it or borrow a friends sim card that has it. If you arent on Tmobile but have a data plan with someone else then you need to set the APN info correctly. Cancel the activation and hit menu, this should bring up the apn settings.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Saturn2888:
The contact book, whenever I add contacts, puts the name Last then first. I was it First then Last. I just sync'd my phone w/ Google Contacts and now ALL hundred or so names on the phone are [Last, First] I would like to set an option in the registry and change all of those somehow. I do not mind deleting all the contacts on the phone and re-downloading from Google.

How do I change the volume on the phone in 1-bar increments instead of going in groups of threes?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JesperO:
This cab will rearrange you contacts by first, last name.

My 8525 is stuck trying to update at 11%.....any help?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Looks like your Radio ROM may have been stuffed.

About the ONLY thing you can try is to re-install the SHIPPED STOCK ROM. WM06 updates will also be OK as they have the same CID but DON"T try any other stock rom.

Also, make sure Hard SPL is installed and try the sd card method. May have more success than with the PC.

1. Format sd card (2Gb or less) FAT32.

2. Copy .nbh file of the rom you want onto sd card and rename to hermimg.nbh .Insert back into Hermes.

3 Put Hermes into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold ALL buttons in until you get to ttri-colour screen. If you have done everything right, follow the prompts.

If this doesn't work then you no longer have a phone. Will work as a PDA but NOT a phone ever again....:(

Good Luck...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scottjhl:
ill try it again when i get home.... but as to get it out of bl screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] scousemartin:
ultramag69 has explained how to upgrade it, just reset the phone then enter bootloader again by doing as he said

3 Put Hermes into bootloader - hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus, hold ALL buttons in until you get to ttri-colour screen. If you have done everything right, follow the prompts.

then try flashing your carriers original rom

Anyone know anything about AD2p and when we might get it? or is it apart of cupcake, and if it is apart of cupcake, can i get it trough the cupcake instalation thread?
[G1 Android Development] darkjedi:
There is no more "Cupcake", all that code, has been merged into the "Master" build. A2DP is part of the roadmap, but it hasn't been implemented yet.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
It is part of the cupcake branch, no word on when.

I can use it right now just fine using the cupcake 1.5 firmware.
[G1 Android Development] eosrider:
you are saying you are using AD2P? is there a read on how to get it working?

right now i have the JF Rc30 with the rc33 radio, not sure it that will make a difference.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
you need to compile the source yourself or use the cupcake images. (not sure if they are updated frequently)

After that just connect the device like normal and you will be able to do it.
[G1 Android Development] korndub:
and the only couple of things that are broken are camera/video camera and market apps....cupcake is pretty cool but not a daily driver, but yes A2DP works great
