T-Mobile Data Hack & epc.tmobile.com

I continue to use T-Mobile Web at $5.99 a month and I just installed Ivan's Windows Mobile 6.5 Alpha 11 and added the new APN - epc.tmobile.com and it works just fine. In fact, when I installed his ROM the first time I had no problems accessing GPRS, but the next time I installed it, I couldn't access the internet. Under Connections 6.5 had "wap.voicestream.com" , "internet2@voicestream.com" and "internet3@voicestream.com". It was there I added the new APN and ran IE6 Mobile. All that said, if there is a difference other than the price between T-Mobile Web and web2go, I don't know. Before all the changes were made to data plans, I assumed T-Mobile Web was unlimited and I use the hell out of it when I was at work listening to then XM radio and SkyFM. I do know over on MyT-Mobile as on the Wing you can monitor the amount of data used, whether they're enforcing a FAP on the new data plans, I simply don't know. I've never had any problems with my plan and have noted the new APN is faster than the old voicestream wap. Take care!:)
[Wing, P4350 General] Banstaman:
have sed all ways of web2go apn connections internet2 epc etc. As of today when I try to visit a website, it redirect me to wipcore.t-mobile.com or something like that and it says that I must subscribe to the webConnect but why would I want to pay more and do that? Any help/ideas what I can do?
[G1 General] Renegade_R:
So I noticed a bunch of you are having the 'issue' of the official Rogers HTC Dream not having a software keyboard like the Rogers HTC Magic.

This was posted on haykuro's blog:

http://www.droiddeveloper.com/hrbuilds/htc_ime.zip

Original Link Here: http://haykuro.theiphoneproject.org/?p=213

This is newer than the HTC TouchInput IME that is included on the HTC Magic and is compatible with the HTC Dream. All you have to do to install this keyboard is to extract the .apk file from the zip file and install it with a program such as ASTRO or AppInstaller (no need to push the libt9.so). Afterwards, you will notice that TouchInput will appear in your Locales & Text menu where you can calibrate the keyboard and change settings.

I'm not 100% sure if this works as I don't currently have a device to test with me anymore but I'm pretty sure it worked last time I tried it.

Good luck!

Worked on my currently not unrooted Rogers Dream!

Thanks!

So your phone is rooted...?

[G1 General] i<3andr0id:
ahhh... the double negative. hehehe.

I didn't have any issues with the htc_ime.apk is this keyboard any better, or is it just the same thing?
[G1 General] geoja32:
hey im new to the whole android thing ive tried to install the htc soft keyboard but had no luck. right now i have the t-mobile my touch 3g..any help plz
[G1 General] Zanterian:
Another way I found useful

Go to the market, and find the app "any soft keyboard"

What you do is just search keyboard and keep on scrolling down until you find it, then install it. Then go to local and select any soft keboard

voila

also available in many other languages + dvorak for those interested.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
It's the same thing.

i'm trying to do this to my g1 but it's a little vauge for someone who has never attempted this. i.e: me :)

step#5 at the bottom listed to wipe and flash the phone, so i looked up how to flash the g1 on this forum and it seemed to require going back to rc29, which i did.

only problem is, step#2 listed to extract step#1 in to the "ext2" partition, which no longer exists after i put my phone back to rc29.

i just installed jesusfreke's rc33 thinking maybe "ext2" was only on rc33 or something, and "ext2" still is not there. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.

oh and i'm new, sorry if this has been posted...went through a ton of pages on this forum and didn't see any posts about it, might have overlooked it while scrolling through wall after wall after wall of posts :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prscott1:
Dude, you need a Class 6 sdcard that has two primary partitions on it - first a FAT32 and second a EXT2 (although EXT3 is now preferred). Search for APPS2SD or A2SD and you should find many threads on how to do that.

sinoeth thanks for that link..i used sdsplit to create the partition on my sdcard and it says it was successful. when i check the status of the card, sdsplit says it has a fat32 and an ext2 partition.

only problem is, when i mount my phone to my computer and open my sdcard drive, it shows NOTHING. no folders, files, or anything. any ideas? or am i just too retarded to handle this tough task ;)

Do anybody know a way to install yahoo messenger on the treo pro
[Palm Treo Pro] iccee:
I use it

I use this freeware prog that is actually really good.

It supports AIM, Yahoo... and a couple others, but I only use those two. I particularly enjoy the fact that I can tell it I want to send a picture and it will boot up my camera and when I take a picture and confirm, off it goes.

It seems to be pretty full featured and even runs in the background.

Enjoy :)

I have only a few things loaded into my phone and most of the programs are loaded into the memory card (8 gig). so why is it out of no where, i have only 9 Megs of memory left for storage!?!!?

since i'm on SPB Mobile Shell 3, can i just uninstall HTC's home thing? it's really obsolete now that the Shell 3 is not only beautiful but easy to use and very well laid out (which basically saying i did a good job laying it out).

what can be done to increase memory size? what is needed and what isn't?

thanks!!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] cr1960:
dude, you must have a heap of stuff installed on your device. I install a fair bit of stuff with each new ROM, but generally have between 60 - 80 mb free.

you sure you haven't downloaded some stuff accidentally to your device instead of your storage card?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] meknb:
Sounds like your card could be corrupt.You could try put it in a card reader right click on your card in my computer click properties on under the tools tab click error checking.You could also try http://www.wizcode.com/products/view/pocket_mechanic_professional this is a demo but will let you scan your disk and fix cross linked files or corrupted volumes.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chivas228:
well, i started off with 6.0 and upgraded to the oem 6.1 rom. i've stuck with it since it's simple and didn't seem to have much problems based on feedbacks on this board. i'm not sure if the OEM rom is bloated or not. maybe... hum... i'll have to look into that.

i have SK tools but i've also used Pocket Mechanic before but i don't remember if it made any difference. i'll give it a try and report back. Thanks!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] antont:
Hello

Try the just released ScanDisk Mobile, this is an improved version of the ScanDisk version used in Pocket Mechanic that can detect and fix much more issues than Pocket Mechanic. It will become an integral part of Pocket Mechanic v3 soon! By the way if anybody is interested in beta testing our newest product - Unformat Mobile please drop me a message. Unformat Mobile scans the card sector by sector and uses zero assumption data recovery algorithms for reconstructing pieces of files found without even relying on the file system. Basically it is able to recover files from a formatted or severely damaged storage cards and so far alpha testing gives lots of promises!

Cheers,

Anton Tomov

r u talkin about the phone memory or the memory card
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] chivas228:
the phone memory.

i did the unthinkable for me today. i did a hard reset so i'm starting from scratch. i'm not sure what happened but now i have what i suspect is the "normal" amount of phone storage size which is 78 megs.

i think when i did a restore on the phone, it doubled what was in storage thus causing the low amount of memory.

i guess sometimes it's good to do a hard reset to clean things up though i had my phone setup perfectly... exactly the way i want it except for the memory part.

Unblock HTC PPC6800

I have a similar problem, I live in Venezuela. Do someone know how fix?

Frank
[General Questions and Answers] the-equinoxe:
unblocking isn't possible by legal methods.

If they are blocked, it's done by the telecom providers, that mostly means they have been reported stolen, or in case of fraud. So they blacklisted the device's IMEI number.

changing IMEI is illegal in all countries, so don't expect to find help here on this board.

Here you want to download BAF MSL grabber which will tell you your SPC code (unlock code). http://www.4shared.com/file/94429328/1808b758/BAFMSL.html

Copy it to your device memory and install to device memory. You will then find it in start/programs/baf tools. Run baf msl grabber and when you get your code write it down and then read these instructions: http://www.4shared.com/file/94443263/a89d427/SPCunlockInstructionsReadme.html to unlock your phone. You will then need to obtain a PRL file for the Carrier you are going to use and change some PST settings accordingly.

I just install Haykuro's hero with rosie. Now I'm wondering how you do AppstoSd would you be able to use this method http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Haykuro_Apps_to_SD or is there something else you have to do.

does apps to sd 2 or apps to sd 1st app work on the hero build???

does anyone know or do we need to do it the way Haykuro explains it on his site?
[G1 General] limakev123:
apps to sd

I used the apps to sd app by Marcus and it worked>>>

The old app works not the new one why I do not know.
[G1 General] Mmarzex:
Thats because all the hero roms only have the ability to use symlinks while apps to sd 2 uses the unionfs method.

i tried appstosd a few minutes ago, it copied all my apps to the SD card it left me with 83MB Free! but now when i install an app the 83MB are bein use :]

One of the "cool" features of this phone is the fact that it can make videocalls using the front camera... But, in the US, who else has this feature where you can actually use it for that? lol

Are there any other programs that can access the camera, where I can video chat with someone, like on yahoo or aim (while connected via WiFi)? I have Palringo and I will be the first to admit how cool it is, but I think the idea could be taken further? Any suggestions? Anyone tried that VZOchat ?Thanks in advance...

i have searched for a solution also and can not find an answer :(
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
If anyone knowledable on anything that pertains to my problem could help me out I would be very grateful..here's the scoop..

I have had my polaris for over a year now (out of warranty) and for the longest time I've had issues with the touch screen not responding correctly and having to re-calibrate it all the time. I finally figured out what the issue was yesterday after I hard reset the device and the screen was still messed up...I had been using a dock for this device that isn't manufactured very well -- using the dock day in day out for a few months at work actually bent the pins on the USB connector on the cruise to the point where some of them were touching each other (yikes!)

So, I gave the phone to my dad who's an engineer, he took it to work and used a microscope or whatever and some tools and got the pins back straight again..now the screen works fine! Needless to say that dock is in the garbage now. The brand was "BoxWave" -- stay away from their products, they are JUNK!

Anyways -- I still have a problem with the scroll wheel.

Spinning the wheel does not work at all -- the Up, Down, and Left buttons work when pressed, and the wheel does light up, but spinning it doesn't do anything. Also the Right button doesn't work either. The button in the middle works okay. All of the working buttons cause the light to go on.

The logical conclusion here to me anyways seems to be that the bent pins caused permanent damage to the scroll wheel...I'm very glad it didn't cause perm. damage to the screen (or anything else, so I hope!!)..but anyways -- what would be the best option for me at this point?

Call HTC and have them fix it and pay out of pocket?

About how much would they charge for something like this (ballpark)?

My dad is a very skilled electrical engineer -- he would be willing to take it apart and fix it for me at work..he's got all the tools and stuff for it and doesn't mind at all...what parts should I look into ordering?

Thanks for any help anyone can provide here.
[Touch Cruise General] mariosm1cy:
Hi,

I have a similar problem the up, left, right and turning the wheel does not work on my polaris either and I have not damaged it whatsoever. So, i do not think your button problem is because of a possible short circuit. But, sorry to tell you but I do not have a solution to the problem.
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
I thought I was certain, but occaisonally my screen still dies.

Perhaps it was permanently damaged? It is much better than before though -- but no matter what I do -- the wheel spinning does nothing, and the Right key does nothing at all.

Do you have any clue what part we would need to get replaced?

I am looking to replace the screen as well due to scratches.

I believe it's called a "digitizer" (the screen part not the wheel)
[Touch Cruise General] mariosm1cy:
No, sorry. But if you do find out let me know as well.

Thank you.
[Touch Cruise General] mariosm1cy:
found this on ebay

Hi,

Guys I found this on eBay. It says it can repair this kind of issue. Although I do not have the time to test.

So, here it is

http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Touch-Cruis...ries?hash=item19b5e3f64f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

P.S. if anyone does test this please give us your feedback. Thank you
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
What?

Did you post the wrong link or something?

That is a SIM card.

This thread is about the scroll wheel \ DPad.

EDIT:

Nvm, I see in the auction it says its a ribbon or something.

I dunno about this one...but it's cheap.

I still have not even gotten around to repairing my screen \ usb port though...god damn money.

If i order this ill let u know.
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
OK so I just purchased a new charge port and digitizer, but I have yet to see ANYONE selling a replacement scroll wheel.

Alot of people are selling the "housing" but it's missing the wheel!

Anyone know where to get a replacement metal panel and wheel only, not the entire housing?

I found a jog wheel for the shadow -- wonder if it would fit?
[Touch Cruise General] alanazar:
I have the same issue, the jog wheel doesn't work and neither the right button, but everything else works & lights up the keypad part....strange that this is 3 of us with the EXACT problem, maybe there's something we need to figure out? btw, i used to hardly use the buttons, but i used the jogwheel a lot to scroll.

I also have the BoxWave dock, however, i've found mine to be of great quality & use...reading your post made me paranoid so I checked my usb connecter over & over but thankfully everything looks very normal.

I came across this post, because I was actually looking for some user advice on replacing your own housing & wheel. I already found the entire housing & keypad on ebay that comes with the screwdriver set, and i have the manual to assemble & dissassemble.

I would rather do it myself so i wouldn't have to do without my phone while waiting for this to get repaired, but i also don't want to do it if it's very tricky with a big chance of busting phone, so i'm looking for a feel of easy-medium-hard. I've already done something similar 3 years ago to my I-Mate Jamin as well as replacing the speaker, so my technical skills are probably around mid-level.

Anyways best of luck, i'll update this post later to tell you how it went (this could be in 2 weeks time from now).
[Touch Cruise General] surgex0:
Housing including the jog wheel and electronics?

I also ordered a usb connector and apparently they sent me one that isn't compatible with the cruise...I think I am just gonna buy a broken one and get the parts from it..they seem to be rare compared to other HTC models!

wow good luck!

Check out this link:

[Touch Cruise General] 1nsan3:
I think I know what's your problem, mates.. It seems that it is essential for almost any P3650 - the cable, which is going from the jog wheel to the keyboard control unit tears apart just before (or exactly at) the copper pads on the molex thingie, that plugs into K/B unit (damage is so slight, that it barely can be seen).

I had no luck looking for the jog wheel sold seperately from housing, or at least with that plastic-chromed buttons cover. If anyone finds out that it is possible to obtain it seperately - I would greatly appreciate :)

Btw, same problem goes for sim holder's cable - I have replaced mine 2 times already (you can get 'em for around 15$ from ebay).

Sorry for my english - it's a bit rusty atm :)

[Touch Cruise General] vzak120269:
Touch Cruise jog wheel & keyboard

Exact same here - jog wheel scrolling broken & right selection does not work. Besides, my "call" key stucks time to time.

So for now I've just got both of them - jog wheel and keyboard (not the entire housing) from ebay, 15 & 7 $ respective

wheel ordered from the following ebay location :

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=260656153778&si=1E2jM09T8qOM9DzM6uzrXo5Qiqg%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT

same provider has keyboard also, for some reason it is not on eBay active items. But you can contact the seller and ask for it.

I gonna replace both in a near future, and will update about the result.
[G1 General] Stigy:
So I followed every page of instructions I could find on taking screenshots via DDMS on my computer. I hook up the G1 to my computer and the DDMS says the phone is online, but when I go to take a screenshot I get the following message in the command prompt:

57:40 W/ddms: Unable to get frame buffer: device <HT846GZ12036> request rejected: device offline.

It also says "Screen not available" and I cannot take screenshots.

Any ideas?
[G1 General] smasraum:
I've had ddms act weird too. I often find that unplugging the phone and plugging it back in will fix things. You may also have to give it a minute or two. You should see stuff start scrolling through the ddms front end log before you can get a screen shot.
[G1 General] smasraum:
Nice, I just started ddms up to see if I could give you the exact text that you might be looking for and now mine doesn't work. I'll have to try it on my home pc later.
