The phone has been shipped

Just an update on the phone. I picked it uptoday and had it shipped via UPS. Should be in haykuro's neck of the woods by the 23rd. However this was one of the most difficult border crossings for me ever.

First I forgot my passport(stupid me:o). The U.S. border gaurd was none to impressed. Then the idiots behind me ignored the stop sign so he started getting really iritated. Luckily I think he was more mad at them then me.

So I get across the border and head on to my little mail box shop just across the bridge. It's supposed to be open till 6, but I guess they decided to leave early grrrr. I got there at 5:40 and the doors were locked. :(

No problem I'll just head the USPS store down the road. Start driving and there is a damn carnival so now I have take an alternative route. Well I only know where the USPS store is because of landmarks(ie. Burger King). Anywho I find the place and it's only open till 4pm. Stupid USPS. Canada post is open till like 9 in my area.

So I go back to my car, check my phone to make sure I'm still on the Rogers network and located the nearest UPS store. It finds it about 15km away. Super I'll just follow google maps there. Too bad Rogers's towers don't reach that far. Got half way on google maps, the rest I guessed. Luckily I found the place.

Ship the phone, think it'll be an easy breeze home. Then I get to the Canadian border and the guy is being a total douche. Asked me a bunch of dumb questions then pulled me over. I can't believe I got pulled over at the Canadian side. I don't think I know a single Canadian who has ever been pulled over coming back into Canada.

Needles to say a 20 minute trip took me an hour and a half but now I'm home and the phone is sent.

Now it's up to haykuro to work his magic!
[G1 General] aggtrfrad:
nice job guys..

:cool:

btw i didn't know it's possible to get charged more, because of tethering... that's so F*ing stupid.... it doesnt make any difference to their network, they just wanna promote the portable internet (usb) service. And how the hell do they recognize tethering anyway? Mac address / ip are the same. Are they monitoring the web browser's version/OS info? That would be even more wrong :/
[G1 General] bernZ:
Good man, AC. Border patrol is a pain but keep it in mind when you're cussing about them that they're just doing their job. If you have anyone to complain about, its a government problem. Haha
[G1 General] Capt Fiero:
Ugh I hate it when that happens. Makes you just want to scream. I don't know about where you are, but most the boarder guards here act like they have a GOD complex or something.

My wife and I live in a boarder town, and there has been times where we just heading down for dinner and to relax, and they hauled us in, interviewed us separately, make her dump her purse, went through my wallet, pulled the carpet from the trunk of my car and dumped every map pocket of stuff onto the floor. I was getting extremely mad, however getting mad at them, just gives them a better reason to detain you.

Other times, we were coming back up from a 3 week stay in Oregon, I had picked up a larger top and bottom box tool chest loaded with tools. Around $4500 USD that my father had but no longer used. We rolled up to customs, they glanced at the trailer, didn't even lift up the tarp, asked what was on it, I say used automotive tools from my father. I had a letter in hand ready to give it to them. They never even looked at it. Just said have a good day.

I have been stopped on both sides on a semi regular basis. However now that we have passports it seems to go a bit smoother.
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
I've been pulled over a few times going into the U.S., but never coming back into Canada. Usually they just ask why I was there and I say picking up some mail. They've never even mad me pay duties on items clearly over the $20. The guy I got today just seemed like a dink from the second I pulled up. ahh well.
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
If I'm not mistaken, usually when you tether via usb cable it works as an external modem and it dieals out a code *11 or something like that.

I image with root, making it a hotspot via wifi or bluetooth Rogers won't be able to tell what kind of data it is.
[G1 General] Gormanimal:
Thanks AC! I'm sure you'll have a lot of canadians - and possibly americans - happy with the pending results.
[G1 General] AlfaTrion:
hey i haven't logged in for a few days.

i just wanted to say thanks to Daniel for that huge donation.

AC, thanks for driving.

i think it's great that a group of total strangers like us can get together and donate our hard earned money for a common goal.

on top of that, time = money. thank you, haykuro, for agreeing to do this on your own time as well as all your previous work.

i've encountered a lot of jerks around my city recently so this teamwork and passion puts a smile on my face :)
[G1 General] Pokeon:
AverageCanadian sounds like you had an adventure.

Thanks for going thru the effort.
[G1 General] SpEnTBoY:
... just sweet .... thanks again for laboring the trip AC!

On a side note I have all kinds of Stories about the Canadian side of the border and 90% of them weren't good .. I got a better and more understanding experience from the US side in those cases lol. I think it can depend on the crossing you get as well :(

At least it wasn't too horrible for you :D ... which I guess is subjective and relative, but we're all stoked you made it back ok!
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You have to realize that Linux is a growing underdog. It hasn't existed for nearly as long as the evil, and it has been advancing in leaps and bounds. I fully agree that it used to be very difficult to get things working in Linux, but this is changing rapidly. Now, more often than not, in Linux, things *just work*, since the majority of the drivers for popular (and not so popular) hardware are included in the Linux kernel. This is a HUGE advantage for Linux... you see, you can pretty much take the DVD for your favorite distro, shove it in, and let it do a default install, and everything works, and everything that 99.9% of all users needs for being productive is *already there*.... compared to the evil, 99.9% of hardware needs for you to install some weird driver off the driver disk (for every piece of hardware), then you need to install a whole bunch of software in order for you to be able to actually do *anything at all*... and several hundred reboots later you might have a halfway functional machine, until that pron site loads you up with digital-VDs and you have to start over.

I've been using Linux since the moment when AMD64 came out because I hated how MS dragged their feet in supporting 64bit hardware. In that time, 6 years now, I have had to reinstall *only* during distro upgrades or as a result of *hardware failure* (i.e. failed hard disk). That is compared to the times before when I was lucky to go a month without a reinstall.
[G1 General] nostriluu:
I know where you're coming from, but I don't think this is the place for evangelism. I hope we can all agree that Android is a chance to create an experience at least as good as the iPhone, that is, a simple and streamlined experience - with the added benefit of multiple vendors and an open source basis and community. That's why I'm here anyway, and so happy to see and participate in the cooperation on purchasing, transporting and opening Android. I hope people can focus on the important things in common, rather than their own hardscrabble experience.
[G1 General] SpEnTBoY:
Agreed from here ... I wasn't going to pipe in but I've seen and been a part of this battle/debate for over 12 years. I started playing around with Linux before it had a name (I believe they coined it SLS in '94). I come from a *NIX background and for me, Linux just works better than anything I've used previous. The point of a community like this should be far past distro and O/S bashing, it's about choice and options. If you use something different and it's working for you then it's doing it's job, making things personal however gets everyone no where fast.

.

I feel better calling Android, Android ... lest we ALL forget Linux is JUST a kernel ... everything else is either distro or community contributed :)

I think some of this stemmed from using PDANet which is a Windows application. If it works for whomever needs this then great, for me however it is not an option. Blanketing a vague statement like "You don't need to root your device to tether - here's a windows app" will typically generate the response that was posted lol. IMO a better quantification would be "If you have a running Windows based machine, you dont need a rooted device to tether as there is an application which will do it"

Personally I'd like to see advocacy on this forum .... for the HTC Dream and even the Android Platform ;) ... not necessarily 'Linux' ... the weight that name carries alone has been driving debates and arguments for over 15 years ... it's counter productive to get in a "mine's better because ..." discussion

*starts singing kum bya* ... feel free to join in :p

Guys I have just modified the 2330..bla manila file following the guide in the Sticky. Everything is ok expect one thing, I did everything, added my city (Lugano, Switzerland). When i go to weather tab and i choose my city it says connection error, but every other city works great :S Can you please help me?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hesian:
I'm having no luck either.

The instructions regarding SQLite don't work for me. Should point out you need to take off the Read Only flag else SQLite browser won't save your changes. The cities are added ok, and now selectable, but they do not update the weather. Keeps saying connection error (attempted many retries too), just for the custom ones. The default cities update fine.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fico2:
Same, and yes I took off the Read Only flag. I'm having your same problem. Please guys help us :S
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] fico2:
After you have edited your manila file and set everything up, remember to install Weather Database editor 1.2 and then run the program. After that everything should be working :) A big big big thanks to "spud_work" who gave me this tip :P
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Rachmaan:
Hi,

Why dont you shearch before you open a new Thread !?

you can find about the weather connection etc. in many threads.

BTW there Allready is a DUTTY 3.7 Thread, so i think there is no reason to open a new thread !

Good night :rolleyes: ( when you ask a question in the thread about the rom you use, You might get help allot faster ) ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] eggie99:
hi all

i had the same problem with the weather using david uk rom the latest one.

This what i did and it worked for me

1. find HH_0409 weathercities_xml file in windows

its under HKEY_Current User\Software\Manilla.

2. Copy the file somewhere on desktop also make a backup of file incase need to replace it.

3. Open it with note pad and change a city which u are not likely to use, find the city code from Accu Weather website and replace all the code.

4. Save the file and copy it back to phone ( i put it in my documents folder) use total commander and replace the existing file.

5. Go in HTC Weather and add new location and file will be there for u to use. Worked for me so hopefully will work for u also.

Tried installing Weather Database but Touch Flo kept crashing tried loads of versions but same result so i tried this method and bingo it worked .

Hope this helps

Thanks

Eggie
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] st3ven:

Sometimes a search returns so many results it's all but impossible to find the answer, unless you've been lucky with your chosen search terms.

If you've found the answer, a better way to educate people in the ways of searching might be to tell them what search terms you used. A link to the answer that you found by searching will also be useful.

This is a huge forum, with hundreds of threads and many thousands of posts, and tracking down the few posts that might help with an issue can sometimes be very difficult.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Please try and follow forum rules and don't open new threads unless absolutely necessary!!

I agree that it can be hard to find answers especially in long threads, but if search didn't help, why not ask this question within thread. There is already a discussion at present in Duttys V3.7 thread about this subject with possible solutions so NO need to open new thread

Thanx

Using the JF v1.51 CRB43 US (Cupcake) A2SD

Found Here: http://forums.tmonews.com/index.php?topic=8970.0

I rooted my phone yesterday, and the root process went smoothly. I only wanted to root to move my apps to sd. So I followed Marcus's method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=512743 Thats when everything went downhill. When I rebooted my phone I was stuck at the "Android" load screen FOREVER. I had to remove my SD card take the battery out just to get the phone to get to the home screen. Once at the homescreen no apps worked. I've done this three times to try to find the issue and the issue seems to be Marcus's method. Everytime I use his method and reboot my phone it gets stuck at the android load screen.

Is there another method that won't get me stuck at the android load screen and allow me to move my apps? Thanks for anyone that helps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinoeth:
That A2SD tutorial is only meant for the JF 1.5 rom. It works on JF 1.51 ADP but I don't think it would work with that US rom since it is different. You should try LucidRem here's the link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480582

I have just tried (today) to upload a video to youtube via the "upload to youtube" option in album.....it uploads to 100% and then gives an error saying the service is not currently available.

Anyone else getting that?
[Touch HD General] GryphonLeon:
I noticed Youtube was having some problems earlier today, I couldn't connect to Youtube with my Wii. Not sure if it has been fixed or not.
[Touch HD General] Wiggz:
just GYI - i tried about 6 hours later and again today and managed to successfully upload.
[G1 General] RPG0:
Hi !

I won't go into too much details, but the thing is that gtalk is a xmpp service, so you can connect using "PSI" and after login you can use "service discovery" and add an IM transport from another server to your rooster (good list of servers here: http://www.jabberes.org/servers/) and then the contacts from that transport appear in gtalk. The status updates are not instant, but it's ok - less trafiic and less battery consumption. But the messages come in instantly, just the status is less often updated.

Please do this with a test account first, and DON'T DELETE CONTACTS BEFORE DELETING THE TRANSPORT FROM ROOSTER.

PS: i never got disconnected since i did this, unlike the im apps in market.

Good luck !
[G1 General] RPG0:
I'm bumping this, because i have the impression people don't get it: you can chat with yahoo, aim, msn, etc... with the built in chat client - uses data, not sms, and it's the most reliable (never crashes or gets disconnected), uses little data and has no impact on performance. WIN - WIN.
[G1 General] nurre:
The problem with this in my experience is reliability, even with my own jabber server the transports didn't seem 100% stable :/
[G1 General] geekingitup2005:
How exactly do you add in the information to perform this?
[G1 General] RPG0:
i'll have to say google for more details, but this is the procedure:

Those are the steps:

1. connect to gtalk with psi (this you need to google first, then if it doesn't work use another port - 443 i think worked for me)

2. open http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ in a browser to have it handy

3. in psi menu use service discovery and enter a server from the page above (choose a free server)

4. double click a transport in the window that appears, and enter username & pasword for the corresponding im network (this is called registering)

5. in psi accept all friends requests

6. rename the contacts you see in psi - they will show up on the phone renamed

again: do this with a test account (not a google test account, a yahoo/msn/etc test account) first, and don't delete yahoo/msn/etc friends before deleting the transport - i did it and had to add my yahoo contacts again.

@nurre: i didn't have any problems yet... except when a transport went down, and i chose another server with another transport - going smooth for about a week :)
[G1 General] danguyf:
I'd be interested in trying this out, but I don't have enough time in the day to google around about PSI and figure out how to set it up. I'd love an actual step-by-step, though. Not that you're in any way obligated, of course; I'm just saying that I'd be much obliged.
[G1 General] RPG0:
Then you don't need this badly enough. The step by step is right there FFS (you want it click by click ?)

for step 1: http://psi-im.org/wiki/Google_Talk_HowTo_for_Psi_0.12 if it doesn't work, use port 443
[G1 General] cedricberger:
If you might explain what you are talking about exactly, so that I decide whether I have to struggle even more to find relevant info ?

( and I could not access the link http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ )

As far as I could find out, PSI is a im client (jabber and others) ? On the PC ?

So is your solution to have it running on a PC, so that it relays msn and others to Gtalk ? That means it only works if it is up and running on the PC ?
[G1 General] th4r:
Ummm great idea

but gTalk just FC on me when I open a new msn chat..
[G1 General] RPG0:
the title says what you can acomplish, and the first two posts present the advantages of doing this.

the http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ seems to be down, check it again later. meanwhile you can see free servers here: http://xmpp.org/services/

PSI is only used to add other im networks to your gtalk account. it's used for configuration and rename purposes only. It doesn't have to run to have this working.

And another advantage: if you're near a pc and you sense a long chat coming, you can connect to your gmail account using PSI (or use the online client at www.meebo.com) and you're logged in in two places at once (PC and G1). you receive messages in both places, but reply from the PC.

And another one: log in at gmail and you have all your conversations saved (including yahoo/msn/aim/etc)

Trust me, it's worth it ! No other chat client is as reliable as the built in one. My status is "Mobile 24/7 on android".
[G1 General] RPG0:
Frankly, i only used this with yahoo, and it never disconnected or crashed. Maybe try another server/transport and add your msn again... ?
[G1 General] ben29pickett:
Can you post us a decent msn one? all the ones i used never worked back in the days before cupcake :(
[G1 General] th4r:
I belive its the "%" mark in the msn adress that couse the trouble... :mad:

It works in any other XMPP client, also in gmails webchat
[G1 General] MrBrightside:
Also got FC in MSN :(

would be great if anybody has a solution...
[G1 General] ben29pickett:
Grrrr this was the issue before :(
[G1 General] th4r:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1795
[G1 General] RPG0:
I edited the title to reflect the msn issue. I have no idea how this could be fixed. Maybe add a transport for jabber (if such thing exists) and that would have a msn transport - like another layer in the middle. I don't know if this is possible, i'm just saying (someone who knows better might call bulls&^t).

[G1 General] maxisma:
When I register my AIM screenname, it doesn't shows system messages...

Solution?
[G1 General] maxisma:
Ok, got it to work for adding conztacts.

All my contacts appear in PSI, but not in GTalk.

I added 2 accounts to PSI.

#1: The GTalk-account

#2: An account of a server with icqtransport (like aim) (there registered with it and registered the icq transport)

Please help!

when I try to discover the service with manually typing jaim.at in the place where gmail.com is (e.g. jaim.at) withouth adding this server and gtalk (so only gtalk) it displays the ICQ Transport at jaim.at , when I register it says succesful, but none of my contacts appear.
[G1 General] RPG0:
After you double click to register, you are asked for confirmation for the transport (default a "!" icon on the transport, but you SHOULD change this to popup in the options, for later). You have to double click the transport and accept the request. Then it will start bringing contacts. All this in the PSI window, in contact list.

I have to say this is a very good alternative to the unreliable chat clients out there, this one never disconnects or anything

however, i wish we could somehow find a way to get msn working...there has to be a way...

maybe the "%" symbol in in the gtalk client for the g1 starts some command?

i dunno...anyone?

Man i wish the aim option in google talk would work.. anyone have a fix for now, this thing is a litle complicated lol reading through wiki now

[G1 General] ghrayfahx:
Can we get a 100% tutorial on how to set this up and use it on our Android phones? All the information I'm seeing is pretty old and it didn't seem to work for me. I could get all my contacts to show up in PSI, but they never shop up in google talk. Not on my phone, or even on gmail's page. I went step by step from the guides I was able to find, but still no love.

[G1 General] EpicFail236:
Got this to work

and it seems to do just fine under the circumstances. I followed these instructions pretty much down to the letter and got everything up just fine. The hardest part really was finding a proxy server that was actually up and running that worked correctly. Finally ended up using lethyro.net as my AIM proxy. Odd thing was, I didnt have any delay in my contacts showing up, they were all just there soon as I signed in. If you are having issues with contacts showing up, I'd just try another server.
[G1 General] aldaris652:
i tried to do this, and i successfully added my aol account, BUT it kept giving me a notice for a lot of my contacts and it wouldnt go away, midn you i have like 300 contacts on aol.... anyway if anyone knows why this happened let me know :D
