[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
I read that already. My question is if its required. Per that thread

"At the current time the main benefit of this is to allow European G1s flash American NBH files and vice versa."

So since I have a US phone, whats the purpose of installing HardSPL?
[G1 Android Development] maxdamage2122:
its not "required" but highly suggested
[G1 Android Development] Datruesurfer:
HardSPL is a fail-safe so if you brick your phone and have a backup of flash memory, you can recover from it without a problem. For that reason alone it is highly recommended to have. Other than that it is completely transparent and will not affect the performance of your phone whatsoever.
[G1 Android Development] androidmonkey:
Thanks for the comments, Im learning.

By flash memory do you mean your data or the actual Android OS? If a phone is bricked, could you just flash the RC33 update and be back up and running again? Since the last step for rooting the phone is installing the HardSPL, how does it help you if you brick your phone?
[G1 Android Development] Shane2:
Not required, but I would seriously recommend you install it, otherwise you will not be able to update to newer versions of modded firmwares, only to official ones. As for your other question, it helps because it has a recovery environment built into it that can restore backups (that you can make yourself), and it will re-flash a firmware patch
[G1 Android Development] coolbho3000:
HardSPL just makes it much harder to brick your phone, and includes extra goodies like Fastboot. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jupkachu:
Is there are any custom rom out there that have quad band feature and also save battery power and memory size?

I have flash my diamond with the Stock Rom from HTC site and had enable the 850 band, and it works well, but the problem is that it does draw quite a lot of memory, If someone can provide me with some assistance, i would greatly appreciated!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] band27:
Most of these cooked ROMs don't include the Radio for good reason. It's left up to the user. Radios react differently from one location to another. You can flash Quad band Radios from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=470306.

Flash a Radio can be done before or after you flashed your cooked Rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ianchi:
Hi, I have recently installed the new HTC_SPA_2.03.412.2 rom wich cames with Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23, and now the battery life has been reduced to less than 6hrs in stand by and it is heating a lot (previouslly it only got hot and with poor battery life when WIFI was on)

I have a US Diamond originally unlocked phone and here we have 850/1900 band.

Has anyone had similiar experience? Wich radio do you recomend?

Thnks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DarkAvenger:
I'm not sure but may be I'm living same problem its draining. I'm not sure because I started to use push mail same time with this Radio.:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] asticinzano:
Pushmail+3G is really a horrible battery drain in general. No wonder. Data connection is up all the time and a PING is sent every 15 seconds from push server (if you use Z-Push as I do).

Option A: disable 3G for most of the time. If you surf enable 3G.

Option B: use 1.08.25.20 which gives me the best pushmail + 3G battery life so far. I always go back to 1.08.25.20

P.S. I think most people from the radio thread aren't using pushmail. So I would take their battery life tests with a huge grain of salt.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] pietrucci:
No, absolutely no battery drain.

(not more than others)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dipje:
Here in Europe (Netherlands), same radio ver and Z-Push with 3G on.

If I do not receive / make calls I can _easily_ get 48hours out a full charge.

If I turn 3G off (as I also do most of the time) I can get 2 days without recharging even with busy work days (SMSing and calling quite a lot).

If your diamond is also generating a lot of heat, I'd say it isn't the reception or radio, but a process / program on the ROM is using the cpu at full strength all the time... then the battery won't last long whatever you do.

If I run TomTom on the battery (full time CPU and GPS usage) with the phone turned off, I can drain my full battery in 2 hours :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mgs333:
the radio works fine for me, and if you use push mail of course the battery will drain much faster...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] moshnjack:
what is push mail? download email with pop3?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] DarkAvenger:
you're very right dude

I went to Option B, battery performance is awesome, about 1,5 - 2 days.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tixop:
Same here [Europe, HSDPA, Exchange mail sync always on]: awful battery life with 1.09.25.23 on the last Dutty and new PDACornerIllusion v.3 ROMs.

I usually go back to 1.08.25.20 after each new radio test but this time running 1.11.25.1 for the last few days and so far very happy with both signal level and battery life.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] criszz:
for me too , best radio for Romania
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altcineva2009:
same here, 1.09 it's pretty good, with normal usage i can get to 3-3,5 days.

(some wifi, some push mail, sms & calls) but not through 3g, i've turn it off..

Romania/Vodafone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dr.Tenma:
it drains battery rly fast...with high usage:listening musi for about 2hours with volume set to max, surfing internet during 30minutes, sending some sms...without 3g, then its down !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altcineva2009:
tomorrow it's my 4-th day, and yesterday i've listened to music like 30min, and sms/call /wifi , today i used the wifi like 30min, voice like 20min, am 5 sms...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Dr.Tenma:
@altcineva2009 : What rom are you using ? Where do you live (country) ? And is your 3G set to ON ?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] altcineva2009:
i see they got some problems with the forum.

i'm using the latest official rom, country: Romania, operator: Vodafone, 3g is off, i turn it on only when i need it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] bruce0126:
I'm suspecting that this radio (1.09.25.23) is not a quad band radio, and it does not support 850MHz band. Open your dial pad and dial *#*#364#*#* and look at the "Band" field, it should show either "3: 850" or "2: PCS" (1900MHz band)

I have 1900MHz towers around my place in South Bay Area, but the signal is significantly weaker than the 850MHz ones. The end result is that it drains the battery faster.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JoeKacz:
Hello all,

I apologize in advance if I have missed this solution - I've searched but found nothing, and 553 pages in the original thread is a bit much to sift through.

I'm on a Verizon Samsung Omnia i910, and running SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5.

I've recently downloaded dredd's Mario Galaxy theme for SPB Mobile Shell. I've copied the files in the 'SPB MS2' folder of the ZIP file to the '\Program Files\SPB Mobile Shell\' directory on my phone, but when I do so and soft reset, I cannot access mobile shell at all. My phone starts on Samsung's Today screen, and my right soft button is 'SPB Menu.' Pushing this button does nothing. I have narrowed the problem to the 'qa_layouts.dat' file. If I copy every file besides that one, all works (buttons, graphics, etc.), but obviously the layout does not appear as designed. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klone96:
Thats bcuz its qvga only and the omnia is wvga if im not mistaken..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JoeKacz:
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the Omnia is QVGA / WQVGA. I think the new Omnia HD will be WVGA. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] blazingwolf:
Correct on the WQVGA. The problem is your using a theme for a QVGA device which means it is not set up correctly. Everything needs to be changed to fit your device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skadamat:
Sometimes I despise that the windows bar/tray is visible in some apps that are not programmed to take up the full screen!

Is there any one willing to make / already an app that we can map to the Useless PTT button (For at/t users) / other buttons that'll quickly minimize that top bar and hide it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gbm85:
Are you talking about the top bar, bottom bar, or both? It should be pretty easy to code something like this up. Just let me know exactly what you want.

Hi, I wonder if anyone could advise me here?

I am looking at buying a PDA (have been looking at a TyTN 2) it´s main use will be for connecting to my PC when I am away from home.

I have tried an iphone with logmein ignition which was OK but I prefer something with buttons I can press rather than a touch screen!

The most important thing for me is that I need the fastest possible program to connect the two devices. In your experience what would be the fastest method of connection? would an off the shelf application like logmein be fast or is there a faster method like a dedicated VPN tunnel or such like?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Connecting with a view to doing what?
[General Topics] orb3000:
Welcome to the forum

If you trying to connect to a remote computer from your PDA the best way is logmein (At least for me)

If it´s to connect PDA and lap top in the same place use WMDC or Activesync
[General Topics] besalu:
Hi

I don´t need to control the pc at home. My partner will be at home and will be working on the pc. I will be in a different city or country. The PDA will be linked to the pc through wifi or 3g and at certain intervals I will need to press "enter" which will then activate "enter" on the pc. In effect I will be using the PDA as a mouse.

The important factor is the time delay between me pressing the button and it registering on the pc. I want this to be as close to real time as possible.

Any suggestions what would be the best way of setting this up?

Many thanks

[Touch HD General] Noodled24:
This has been something that has bugged me ever since I started using WinMo, hopefully there is a simple solution that I have just over looked.

1) If im browsing the web on my laptop, I have to go out for whatever reason, is there a quick/simple method of sending the web address to my blackstone? ie without having to type it in one the phone. So that I can continue browsing on the move?

Ideally it would be as simple as right clicking on the webpage > Send to > Blackstone, then having the same webpage open on the blackstone... Is there any way to do this? Is it even possible?
[Touch HD General] fwt:
Doesn't ActiveSync (check Favorites) work for you?
[Touch HD General] spasovxda:
You can also use http://www.mymobiler.com/

It works over ActiveSync and WIFI (well at least within your own subnetwork ;) .
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
Alternatively you could create a QR-barcode from the URL (for example on this page http://qrcode.kaywa.com/) and then use a codereader on your cell phone (QuickMark http://www.quickmark.cn/ works great on the Blackstone).
[Touch HD General] Noodled24:
From IE7 > Tools > Create mobile favorite > I had tried that on my Atom Life device, but it never worked properly. The mobile favorites would sync, but then the next time I connected the device, to my PC they would vanish.

Also, wouldnt this only create a favorite for IE mobile? Plus the hasstle of having to delete the favorite if it was just one article I was reading.

It would just be nice to have the option to "throw" my current page over to my Blackstone. From IE7 and have it open in opera.
[Touch HD General] Noodled24:
cool, thats an option. I'll check it out. Cheers.

This is actually the method I have been using for the past couple of weeks. It works well. But I can't help but feel like there are still more steps to take than should required.

My initial post was inspired by being half way though reading an article on a website I wouldnt usually visit. At which point a friend who I was meeting pulled up outside an beeped his car horn (meaning "im not coming in, hurry up"). As a result I had to leave my laptop on until I returned.

With all of microsofts talk about widgets etc, it just seems odd that there is no quick and easy way to send a simple link from a Vista computer to a WinMo device without having to load up other programs. E-mailing the link to myself is another solution, but again... it just seems like a long road for a shortcut.

i have enabled photo gps on my touch hd using advanced config, but when i put my photos onto iphoto (ilife 09) it does not pick up the location at all of my picture and it is cabable of doing so.

please help how do i get it to work???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
Is there anyone that can explain me how this works??

When I take a gps picture, the pic goes to \storage card\my documents\my pois\. That's it??

Isn't this also suppose to get the coordinates and put them on the file or something like that??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] usrname:
right ... positiondata is stored into the jpg meta. drag and drop the jpg e.g. into google earth and it shows your picture with the right gps position.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
Hmmm, I did that, drop and drag the picture inside the Google Earth, but didn't do that like in the picture that you posted. I also looked the meta data from the jpeg but no records of gps coordinates was founded.

Any ideas??

Panel Calender not showing all entries

I am not sure, what is wrong with my calender within the panels. Normal calender views work perfect, but the panel calender mostly shows recurring entries - ALSO SOME normal entries. But I have no idea why he is showing some but most are not visible.

I did not find any options for that calender - does anybody have an idea what is going wrong??

Short answer is no with an adp build but if you really want paid apps you can install JFRC33 to get access to them.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
I don't know where these guys are coming up with their info. You most definitely CAN access paid market with ADP, IF you have installed the update available at www.htc.com in the support section.

The only requirement is that you have a US or UK sim card installed, I don't think that it is necessary for the card to be active.
[G1 General] ex-MN:
not so short answer

Well, people are kind of right about not being able to download paid apps. I have an ADP1 1.1 phone using Three as my provider here in the UK and I see SOME charged apps. BUT apps that the developer 'copy protects' arel not available. (see below for the unfiltered version)

This is a load of cr4p on Google's part because the 'copy protection' is simply installing the app to a protected directory (no encryption, no validation, nothing). As the ADP1 phone has root, we can get easy access to the apk file, and since we are all criminals we will post them to warz sites. Of course the reality is that there are far more rooted G1s out there (that CAN get all forms of paid apps) then there are ADP1s.

But, of course, Google has plausible denyability when it comes to hacked G1s. This is not the case with ADP1s. I suspect that this was a decision from the law department in Google.

The only sure way to get ALL the apps on an ADP1 is to install one of the hacked JesusFreek ROMS or flash it to a stock G1

Here is the official word from the android developers (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/)

"Some developers have asked about the support for copy-protected apps on developer devices, and indeed there is a limitation you should be aware of. Many developers are concerned about the unauthorized redistribution of their applications, so they make use of the copy-protection feature (known as "forward locking") which prevents applications from being copied off devices. However, developer phones like the ADP1 allow for unrestricted access to the device's contents, making it impossible to enforce copy protection. As a result, the Market application on such devices is not able to access copy protected apps, whether they are free or paid. If you choose to add copy protection when you upload your application to the Android Market, then you won't be able to test it on the ADP1's Android Market client. Your application will always be accessible to users who have standard configurations though, and if your application (whether it is free or paid) is not copy-protected it will appear on all devices, including developer configurations."
[G1 General] All~G1:
What update????
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Try clicking on the link and going to the support section as I said. THAT update.
[G1 General] nleung:
I don't see any updates for the G1 under the support section, only FAQ, User Guides, and Tips & Tricks. Do you have a direct link?
[G1 General] ex-MN:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html
[G1 General] All~G1:
Thanks for the direct link. I was looking under G1... opps. I want to try and switch over to adp, but wont flashing the updates from the link mean I cant flash to a modded build? Even if I can see protected apps with this update, if I chose to use a Modded image, then I will lose the ability once again right?

Im sorry if im not getting this, but I just want to be on an ADP1.1 build that allows me to see AND purchase all apps... Even protected ones, while still being able to run the scripts and other developments that this community has brought. Will this help me accomplish that???

Sorry in advance

My question:

I want to copy some data into the windows directory, but they still existst.

How can i overwrite them?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gibb0901:
I'm sorry if this is an obvious question, but I've spent a good portion of the afternoon trying to find an answer using the various search functions on the XDA site with no luck.

Today I flashed my ROM on my Sprint Mogul for the first time (because I finally got tired of the standard package...) with the following steps...

1. Used Hard-SPL 2.40 via USB connection to unlock

2. Installed Titan Radio ROM 3.42.50 from SD card

3. Installed Titan WM6.5 21139 CR2 via USB connection

4. Rebooted at completion, and Windows Mobile 6.5 started up perfectly!

5. Found that phone would not connect to Data Connection (#777)

6. Downloaded and installed DCD Sprint Carrier CAB from dcd's website

However, I don't know if my phone connects to Sprint via #777. My wireless connection is working fine, but when I disable wireless and try to open IE or similar programs, my "Connectivity" icon at the top of my phone will indicate a connection has been established, but it says "Sprint PCS (Dial-up)" is connected. Does this mean that I have connected via #777 to my Sprint Data Plan, or is this some other function I am not familiar with? This could be the simplest answer in the history of questions, but it just looks different than it did before I flashed the ROM.

Thanks for your answers!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GeLopez:
#777 will be your your data plan. if you dont have a data plan you will be charged
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dfc849:
No, one of the tweaks with that is that it does not display the connection dialog (balloon that pops down saying "Dialing #777...", etc.). It only says 'Dial-up' because of the way DCD constructed the carrier CAB at the time. It is no different from your standard Sprint Data Plan.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GeLopez:
yes it does look different. but bottom line is you are still connecting like you were before with 777. it is just different. there is NO other way to connect.
[General Questions and Answers] ronjoor:
Hi All,

I have a new 8gb Sandisk storage card which was behaving perfectly normally until yesterday. I started up Tom Tom which is installed on the device with maps in the storage card. It failed to find the map. Using Total Commander I see that the entire card is blank with the exception of the Tom Tom file ttnavigator.bif.

However when I go to Settings/System/Memory/Storage Card it shows that the storage card has 3780.59MB in use and 3791.41MB free which probably means that the card is not blank but that the files are hidden somehow.

Does anyone have an idea on how to recover from this?

Thanks in advance.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chaisu:
I'm a noob here. Got my tilt about a week ago and have successfully unlocked it thanks to developers here.

My phone came with WM6.0 and worked great, wifi had no problems connecting to any available network.

I then flashed the HyperDragon IV ROM. Everything worked just fine, except wifi wouldn't connect. I've since tried both the official at&t and HTC ROMs with no success.

This is what is happening....

The phone recognizes my wireless network, i enter the correct password and it says "connecting" but never actually connects. It just keeps saying "connecting."

On the "Wireless Lan" settings page the signal quality switches from no signal to partial signal every second.

Also, the server-assigned ip address always reads "fe80::218:41:ff:fe7". Before upgrading to a 6.1 ROM this wasn't the case.

I've tried multiple hard and soft resets, different ROMs and Radios.

I've always set the Wireless Lan settings to performance mode.

The next thing I'll try is to find a flash back to a WM6.0 ROM since that is the only time wifi has worked.

I'm currently using ROM version 3.57.502.2 WWE

radio version 1.65.21.18

and hard spl3.29

I'd really appreciate any suggestions. I've searched and searched the forum and have found somewhat similar situations, but none of those suggestions have made a difference.

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mobilez6600:
Maybe you must try with other Radio ROM version?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Chaisu:
thanks, but i've tried a few different ROM and Radio combinations to no avail.

I can't seem to find a download for an HTC or at&t WM6.0 Rom, can anyone guide me or offer more suggestions on my above problem.
