[P3600 ROM Development] kaybeeuk:
I can confirm that the phone IS unlocked, power+camera reset leaves it with striped screen, L/H + R/H softkey+reset gets it to bootloader and eventually to failed ROM splash screen,same with simple reset.

Connecting to XP gets a connect sound BUT phone is not displayed by exploring or by activesync.

Because the PC can't see the PDA, it can't flash. I feel flashing with SD card is the way forward...almost any rom would do-just to get PC to "see" PDA through USB. If anybody has a foolproof SD rom flash I would be grateful.Thanks
[P3600 ROM Development] adejager1:
But did you look into the device manager after you hear the bingbong sound to see if there is a mobile device listed there?

If there is delete it, disconnect and reconnect.

Do you have olipro hard spl on your phone?
[P3600 ROM Development] kaybeeuk:
Noob scratching head lots!!

Hi Adejager, my PDA doesn't come up on the support screen at all. It MIGHT be a usb socket to Motherboard problem. I can sort that out later, after I flash through sd card. (BTW i don't have OLIPRO hard SPL). if I can get a rom flashed with card I can then move forward
[P3600 ROM Development] ppatel223:
you need to install hard spl, and it will solve your problem, i had same exact problem before.
[P3600 ROM Development] kaybeeuk:
Hi PP

:confused:Yes, but how do i flash hard spl via mini sd card?? (usb not working)
[P3600 ROM Development] taipan_snake:
Download the Hard-SPL file, unzip it and copy the .nbh file to the root folder of your Mini SD card, but be sure to rename it to "TRINIMG.nbh". Then, insert the SD card and boot into the bootloader.

[Touch HD General] Kash:
Since installing Dutty's ROM I have had a daily error as follows:

"Invalid timer occured, use setting menu to set valid parameters. Also make sure your device Timezone GMT matches your city Timezone GMT. You can change your device Timezone GMT from Settings -> More -> Date & Time menu"

I have checked and made sure my GMT timezone is correct and matches my city, but keep getting this problem, especially around 2300 and 0000 hours. Any similar problems or advice?
[G1 General] JAWheat411:
I have had similar problems but it was because of a bad download. Or I disconnected the phone to quickly from the USB before selecting remove.
[G1 General] Auctionedllama:
Wrong forum. Mods, lock this thread pronto!
[G1 General] xeudoxus:
Also I received a letter from tmobile saying that they are going to drop me because of roaming too much. I would be nice to get this worthless phone running again. I have until July 7th 2 switch carriers. Because my G1 is basically a paperweight now I was thinking of getting the HTC lancaster with AT&T but it will not be on the market in time.

By the way the phone is acting and no one else having this problem. I am lead 2 believe that this is a hardware issue with the G1. But, every time I try and flash the rom I get that weird file on my fat32 partition. So I would assume that the phone can still write to the sdcard, even though it cannot mount it. So don’t know if it is hardware or not. But, tonight I will disassemble the phone. (Because I’m not getting 2 much help here)

Also if apps2sd or cache failed when the rom was running for a moment what would be a way to restore it back (If the phone worked and no apps2sd is still fine 4 me!). Every time I try and link back 2 the phone it cannot find the directories that are on the sdcard (obvious cuz the sdcard is not mounted) I had this problem before but, the sdcard was mountable so there was no problem.

Would there be a configuration file that I can pull, modify, and then push back with the app2sd/cache info on it. I am moments away from pushing the entire update.zip 2 the phone. I am running out of options on what 2 do or how 2 fix.

[XPERIA X1 General] jas0607:
I've had my Xperia for about 6 months now, and whilst I like it a lot, and it's brought lots of my communication and entertainment together into one device, there's a few things I think would improve it greatly.

One of these things is the screen size, or more specifically the screen size that most programs use. The start/taskbar and bottom bar really annoy me, they take up 15% of the screen! I have a few apps that have the full screen ability (Pocketwit, the panels like Media Panel etc) and I think they look far better than their smaller screened rivals, and also slightly easier/better to use because of the enhanced screen real estate.

We have a Windows key and other relevant buttons, so I don't think it is vital to have that access to the Taskbar up top. I would like to see more developers give the option of toggling to full screen.

Anyone else share this annoyance?!
[XPERIA X1 General] souljaboy:
for bottom bar

Nice summary all in one post.....
[Mogul, XV6800 General] noinim:
i recently had my mogul replaced.

the new one sprint gave me gave me a code 67 error whe i tried using internet sharing (though internet access on the phone worked fine)

i spoke to someone at sprint who had me do a sort of refresh, and an update.

it still would give me the code 67 error.

the agent informed me that i do not have P.A.M. on my account, so it will not work (can i charge you another $15/month?), and that many accounts were set up wrong and sprint has been trying to phase out PAM is accounts that were set up incorrectly.

though i suspect the replacement phone had a different internet sharing program on it, that no longer allowed me to use my dataplan for PAM, since this one only gave me the drop-down options for USB or bluetooth, while my previous mogul had a second drop-down menu with the options Phone As Modem or Sprint.

i've tried searching, but couldn't find anything specific to my issue - though i assume i'll need to flash to an earlier ROM from this page

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome

is this correct? and which ROM do i need?

current OS is WM 6.1. i do not recall if my previous mogul was 6.0 or 6.1

thank you

edit: i hope this in an appropriate place. i actually meant to post this in the upgrading etc. section

edit: also, does flashing my ROM void my insurance? and if so, would they have a way of knowing i did? what about if i bricked it? i am with sprint

Hi,

I have decided to upgrade my still useful Hermes but I'd like to be able to use my BB Connect with it.

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to make it work please ?

I have tested several AKU but it doesn't work (.0.4.3 / .0.0.0 / .0.1.6 and .2.0.0).

Can you please help me making this work ?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tarda:
hi,

you must make backup your data (you can use microsoft myphone service http://sn1-p3.myphone.microsoft.com/mkweb/Start.po?mkt=en-EN ) and after it you must connect your pda to PC. newer version of BBconnect is http://www.sems.org/entry.asp?ENTRY_ID=276 , so you can upgrade your PDA and after it install again microsoft myphone and bbconnect.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Murcielago:
Hi,

Thanks for your answer but I don't understand what you mean.

What does backup allow me to do ?

I've already tested latest version of BBConnect and it doesn't work at all.

What do you mean by upgrade my PDA ?

Thanks
[G1 Android Development] xnycen:
I figured instead partition to ext2 first then revert to ext3 with some of the Roms, why don't we just partition the sd card to ex3t with Acronis Disk Director Suite.

It's simple and easy:

1. plug in sd card to the computer and open Acronis Disk Director Suite

2. click on the sd card drive and under wizard menu click on create partition

3. choose free space of the existing partitions to create first fat 32 partition

4. click next, choose the sd card drive

5. NEXT, and choose the size of your regular fat 32,( i have a 8bg so i put 6.5gb here) and choose fat 32

NOW creating ext3 partition:

6. under wizard menu again, choose create partition (sd card drive)

7. choose free space of the existing partitions

8. click next, choose the drive

9. click next, choose the size, again i put 1.5gb to put all my apps

10. NOW here, i choose ex3t under the type menu.

11. after all, just simply click to create the partitions and you're done.

Now you should have one fat 32 and one ext3

After all, just run the app2sd script under sdk, again it's a very easy step too, if you need me to post it, i will.

i just tested it myself, it worked, again it's your own risk , i found it so much easier to do it this way.
[G1 Android Development] ebadevil:
my knowledge of linux is very limited... so I'm gonna have to ask... how is ex3t different from ext3?
[G1 Android Development] Dark X Dragon:
I get the impression xnycen means ext2 and ext3 but is writing it wrongly for some reason.
[G1 Android Development] mer6:
I don't think there is anything called EXT3T, it's EXT3.

Anyways there are too many threads about this and you can do it with GParted or Partition Manager anyways. I know why people are so complainy around here, it's because no one reads and everyone thinks they're the first to ask a question or post a new idea.
[G1 Android Development] malaeus:
dont use acronis... ive lost 4 PC's to that beast, it never works properly. never writes anything correctly. and if you are using it to create formats and partitions... im going to have to say you have had amazing luck.

and above all, never use the OS selector.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yz2zy:
Hello xda-developers :)

I was wonder why there isn't a better GPS navigation software for Windows Mobile cellphones (more preferably a newer one like the HTC Touch Pro)?

There is Google Maps which is fantastic but it has two shortcomings:

1. Doesn't have any sort of voice guidance

2. Doesn't reroute when you get off your path.

I've also found Google Navigator but after installing the trial version I found it to be very buggy and hasn't been updated for a few months now. Also costs $60! For that cost I can just go ahead an buy a dedicated GPS for about $40 more.

So I ask: Is there anything better in the works? Possibly an open(!) source project? Or a better presented and cheaper solution?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] onthenet:
the best navigation software aren't free.. but there are workarounds obviously :P

try tomtom, or igo i love them
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thesilentnight:
or try nav4all... free until 2010 and turn by turn voice direction
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yz2zy:
Hm Navi4all didn't seem to want to get any GPS sats, also seemed slow.

Nav N Go (IGo?) seems to be a european only product?

Tomtom looks like it might be worth its salt though
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rvt1000:
IGo is not European only...there is a North America version.... I love IGo after being turned on to it by a friend of mine (who also helped me with my first flash ---- props to Kareem9NBA).... text to voice, easy interface.

Before that, I used INav which I loved.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] doctajay:
I personally love tomtom. and its free if you know where to find it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bedobela:
I'd go for Igo. I am from Europe and it has really good data even in eastern european countries, but TomTom is really good too. I think you should compare these two and just use the one that's faster/better for you.

Remember, we have PHONES that have GPS and you can't expect them to work like a GPS-only device. It's the same with the camera - no camera-phone performs as well as a standard digital camera (not even mentioning SLRs) and no GPS enabled phone will ever work as well as a GPS-only device. Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] brycestejskal:
...

I dunno....Garmin Mobile XT works pretty damn well on my fuze. My friend has a dedicated garmin and mine can do more than his can cause our phones have internet access.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] PerfAlbion:
And with the update to Garmin from their website, the POI database is just about never out of date - it includes a Google Search function to look up points of interest.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] meo:
navigon ( http://www.navigon.com/site/de/de/products/navigation_software/windowsmobile_pda )

is excelent like tomtom - you have the possibility to check before you buy it (30 days)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] AUTiger83:
+1 for Igo8 (from the company Nav N Go). European company, but when you use NavTeq's USA maps, works perfect.

Advantages are real TTS (Text to Speech) (i.e., speaks actual street names), 3D buildings in major cities, ability to add POI databases, logos show onscreen for POIs, etc.

A dedicated GPS does work a bit better. But how often do you have that in your pocket when you need it on the spur of the moment???
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slapdaddy:
Depends on what works best for your phone really. Some programs will lag on one persons phone and then not lag at all on anothers....from what I've read around the forum anyway. I've tried a lot of GPS software and I can tell you that...

Garmin Mobile XT has a great UI and excellent maps. Very easy to use and works. Only problem is GPS lag (shows me about 200ft behind my actual position).

TomTom works great. I don't think the UI is anywhere nearly as nice as Garmin's or as user-friendly. But I hardly get any GPS lag using TomTom and if you can keep the maps updated then you should be just fine. This is what I use now.

I've tried IGO8 and Amigo. Amigo wouldn't find the built-in GPS on my phone but looked pretty nice. I didn't get a chance to test it out much because it wouldn't work, sadly....and I didn't feel like trying to make it work lol. IGO8 is great if you can get the right version. I think I had the EU version because I couldn't change KM/hr to M/hr and I was thoroughly annoyed by that. IGO8 did give a little lag, but not as bad as it was with Garmin. What turned me away from IGO was that damn KM/hr thing. I looked up how to fix it for a grand total of half an hour before I gave up and deleted it lol.

All that being said, I like TomTom. I would absolutely 100% delete TomTom and go with Garmin if I didn't experience the lag. It's just that annoying to me. But if you don't experience lag with Garmin I'd go with that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rol_xda:
another vote for igo

used tomtom on my wizard but I really like the UI on IGo on my serra, the custom skins that are available and the use of a sys.txt to set up a lot of preferences in the software. Lots of web resources out there for these things.

used EU and US mapping and found them both to be very good

you can add POI's in google earth kml format and the software converts them at start up - very handy but large numbers of POI's can course the software to have slow response times at start up
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] eimerej77:
Does anyone use their GPS without a data connection ie: using stored maps? I tried to mess around with mgmaps for a few days but never got it to work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mike99:
IGO will work without data connection (flight mode on). Obviously, you need to have the program AND maps on your phone. Tomtom will not do the same. Even though it does not need any data connection, it will not establish GPS connection in flight mode. It will work if you turn data or cell radio on, even if there is no connection available (i.e. another country). Not sure about other programs.

Hope that helps.

Mike
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] eimerej77:
yeah perfect. I skipped the data plan (use the nodata cab), so I just use wifi when I can and was trying to find a way to get gps on the road, storing the maps on my micro sd card. I'll look in to it!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] HelterSkelter67:
wow, i ant believe noone has said amazegps yet. its totally free and has voice navigation. u can use it without a data plan too using just the arrow navigation. its the best of all the free ones out there by a longshot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Smaniac:
I use Tomtom 7 and I really like it. Google Maps isn't an option for me because I don't have a data plan. I had tried Destinator 6, but it's really ugly and doesn't work properly on my TP (says it doesn't have enough memory, so voice doesn't work).

I want to try iGo though, it seems really good from what people say.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] slapdaddy:
Actually you can use 825 and 830 series maps with either version of TT7 for PPC...I'm not going into detail here but if you look around the net I'm sure you'll find something. :)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
There doesn't seem to be a manual screen orientation choice (landscape or portrait) in screen settings, there's just the auto orientation for certain applications when you turn it sideways. Sorry to keep harping on about my other phone, but as comparison, that does indeed have this feature, and I can change it back and forth from the today screen in a split second. This works well with things like tomtom if I want it in landscape for a larger and wider view, or generally if I want to view ANYTHING on the phone in landscape mode. So, unless someone can tell me if this feature is somewhere to be found on the phone, I was wondering, does it allow auto landscape mode for sat nav apps when you turn it sideways?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Auto orientation...

Use this application - by far the best auto otientation tool available for the Diamond. You can set it up to rotate every app not in the exception list, or only the apps in the exception list. Check it out ;)

Or to change manually, install Advanced Config (you'll find it in the Themes, Applications & Software forum) - you can set it to show the orientation settings on your device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
Wow, flipping brilliant, it works really well!:D

There's several parameters but all I did was tick 3 orientation picture boxes in the Default 'My device should rotate these directions by default (non exceptions)' I've also ticked a box to make it give a short vibration just before rotation, and a tick for changescreen toggle in programs list.

Thanks, that's made me happier, works nicely with everything now including tomtom. :)

I was on SuperHero beta 2. I'm looking to put just the regular T-Mobile US cupcake rom on. Before I had Cyanogen and his 1.2 recovery. I did the following:

1. Wipe

2. Flash original spl

3. Now... whenever I put a update.zip, after hitting alt+s, it says "no such file or directory", installation aborted.

I have tried different things for update.zip (flashing the radio, different download locations for the T-Mobile rom) and it keeps saying this.

PLEASE HELP. Thank you.

As over the past few months ive seen alot of members asking for the 6.5 stock rom and so far there isnt one i thought id thought id build one (or at least somthing similar);) I have removed all the random crap we add to our custom roms and gone back to basics.

Programes include:

Netcf 3.5

office mobile (including onenote)

Getting started

windows marketplace

microsoft my phone

Bubblebreaker and solitaire

windows live

Device update (included in ext rom so can be removed)

Screenshots:

Just remember this is still a custom rom but i hope this will satisfy all those after it for now.

Only one bug ive noticed is that windows live doesnt work but i havent found a version that does (now fixed in v3 thanks to cab from + que ppc)

Ill update this thread as new builds get released or i find out what the real stock apps are (eg splash screens and comm manager) but for now it is as stock as possible!
