ok heres the story....

i bought a used mint condition touch pro and activated on sprint online and the touch pro is running fine but the net wasnt working... i took it to sprint and they told me that the inner workings of the usb port were damaged and it was hard to communicate with the device via usb cable so they could not do their stuff, i though it was BS cuz it charges and connects to activesync as well as flash drive just fine at home till i tried to unlock the device which always gave me communication errors... i can do it via sd card no problem as i did and flashed energyrom just now but i still cant connect to the web and they said theres nothing that can be done about on their part that and i would have to call insurance and shell out 100 bucks for another one cuz the in-store warranty did not cover that. But i dont think that the usb port (which is fine IMO BTW) has anything to do with the net not working rite?

they told me do dial ##DATA# and restore the profile, soft reset and then attempt to update the profile via settings but it fails every time with error code 67 / incorrect username/password... i flashed to stock rom before this and hard resetted BTW and no dice... i think it may be a hardware problem cuz everytime i try to update my settings and fails, the username of the previous owner always goes back and thats maybe whats going on. but to no avail the device updates with my info...

the USB port damage that they mentioned was to connect the device to a diagnostic machine and since its damaged it cant connect to diagnose the problem so i guess im stuck then...

What do you think? if i can get my web working i would most likely keep it since i can flash via sd no problem and switch it for a pro2 easier than paying for it. i tried to update profile and prl but they always fail... i always get a incorrect username/password error 067

if anyone can help me get my net workin again i would fully thankful, where can i manually get my sprint internet settings?? cuz the DCD carrier cab and PRL update cab did not work for me...

i have noticed that when i go to device info. the sprint username isnt mine so i guess that would be the problem, i know what mine is but where do i change it? and what about password and anything else required for the sprint internet sevice to work??

Hi all. My wife's upgrading to a Samsung Epix, which is a touch screen WM6.1 phone. I immediately headed over here to see what goodies were available and couldn't find any forum for it.

Is there a good resource for this particular phone?
[General Topics] orb3000:
As this is an HTC forum devices only you won´t get too much atention, however in off topic there is a thread regarding samsung

Good luck,
[General Topics] :
I second this suggestion...the Epix/i780 need more attention. It's one of the best designed phones of it's type.

But as orb3000 points out, the board does focus mainly on the HTC devices.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alapapa:
is it just me, or when you "adb shell" into the device and then use a program that uses the arrow keys everything goes berserk?

it seems like it's overlaying the command history into the on-screen buffer and all future interactions are corrupted beyond repair.

for example, run vi and use arrow keys to navigate around (yes, i know there are other methods for this, just using this to illustrate) and it pulls info from some sort of history buffer on to the screen.

another example is the ash shell. up and down arrows behave nicely at first allowing you to scroll through your command history. but, it degrades fairly rapidly into being unusable

this does not seem to be an issue using scroll ball in terminal on the device.

I can't find anything in the Android Issues Page.

I've reproduced this in multiple builds on multiple OS's on multiple machines (but I've only got one G1, hence this thread)

Does anyone have any insight?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saiboogu:
What OS? Mine behaves this way too, and I think the root problem is the Windows command prompt. Read a comment somewhere on here that makes sense - something along the lines of cmd.exe not properly interpretting ANSI control codes? Need to hit up Google, maybe there's an alternative command shell that would solve this for Windows users.

EDIT: Ok, really need to work on reading comprehension - you tried multiple OSes? I was all set to blame MS. Anyway, I tested in Cygwin, Command2, Command2 wrapped around bash.exe .. No luck. Problem has to be in ADB itself somewhere, either the daemon on the phone or in all the clients.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alapapa:
Thx for the reply.

I use a Mac mostly, but have similar response in Linux and Windows.

I've tried Terminal.app as well as iTerm on the Mac.

I tried cmd.exe, powershell, & cygwin / bash in Windows.

I agree it almost has to do have something to do with the way the adb daemon handles ANSI codes.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alapapa:
tyvm, Darkstrumn. that worked great! Can't believe i didn't think to try this as a workaround.

all i did (on OSX Leopard):

adb shell telnetd &

adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:23

telnet localhost 9999

now, to get working on compiling dropbear 0.52 and / or patching adb *eek*

i guess a related question becomes, is there any way to change ash to the default login shell?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstrumn:
Just a note: The windows version of this is just as simple as those 3 commands, the complexity of the script is simply allowing the script to lock-on to the device by id; my actual scripts enumerate the devices including the emulator into the %adevN% variables where N is 0-X. %adev0% will always be the first instance of the emulator found and %adev1% will always be the first instance of a true device found. I simple made it light and posted it. I think it only matters if you are using the emulator and have a live device connected and what to work with both.

Let me know if the enumeration script would be handy and I can post it also.:)

I haven't gone the route of dropbear just yet, but I'm interested in using ssh vs telnet.

As far as ash goes, I reckon the trick is to setup a chroot to use it as the console...maybe override the console service defined in init.rc.

Note I think ash is expecting the passwd file to exist and have meaning, so that may need to be setup to have ash behave a little better in the Android environment.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdbjoe:
Thanks! This worked a treat for me.

I was having trouble with lynx and ansi chars within an adb session, the forward made my day :-).

Actually I got rid of the complex batch above, I just set up two small batch files:

myadbshell1.bat

@echo 1

@adb forward tcp:18022 tcp:22

@adb forward tcp:18023 tcp:23

@adb shell telnetd

@exit

myadbshell2.bat

@echo 2

@putty.exe telnet://127.0.0.1:18023

@exit

Run the first, then the second.

Do your story in putty, when exit everything will close.

Why echo 1 and 2? Because withouy I was getting the two batchs hanging, dunno why. :-?

Everything on windows environment.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cboshuizen:
In windows I created a .bat file called adb.bat, where c:/adb/ is where I installed the SDK:

c:/adb/tools/adb remount
c:/adb/tools/adb forward tcp:9999 tcp:23
c:/adb/tools/adb shell telnetd

I run this file as Administrator, and then I can telnet into localhost:9999 with putty. Works great!

[General Questions and Answers] khaytsus:
I don't recall it always doing this, but recently for me it seems like as soon as I connect up USB to do a sync, some of my background apps go away. I've seen ArialBattery, Flexmail, even S2U2 just vanish. ArialBattery is the first one I notice since it's right on the screen all the time.

Anyone else seen this? Any way to make it stop doing it? It's pretty aggravating!

BTW, realized I should mention a soft reset doesn't matter, if I ActiveSync again the same thing happens.. And I generally have more than 30M of ram free, so I seriously doubt it's because I'm low on ram, etc..
[Dash 3G, Snap General] JC6:
Hi All,

Could somebody post the .reg key for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Windows Live from their Snap please? I need the whole "Windows Live" key, including all the subkeys. You can do it using e.g. the Export function of CeRegistryEditor.

I very intelligently deleted it, thinking it would save resources by removing an unneeded service, but it turns out that I need it running if I want to remap the Windows Live Messenger key to something else. I had it set up to lock the device with one keypress, which was great, but then I got a bit carried away trying to elimate background services... Yes, I should have backed up or used Flags = 4... :(

I have an unlocked HTC-branded S521 Snap, with the trackball.

Thanks in advance.

Yours humbly...

ok so how to update since i rooted it another way

since i have a rc 30 should i update to jfv1.42 rc33 or can i skip that and jump to jfv1.51 crb43

and should I add something , since I rooted my phone using another method ? maybe hardspl
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
You should update your radio and spl whether its hard spl or the new spl. If you do the new spl make sure your device can handle it and you do the radio first. Then you can update to whatever rom you want. You can skip the rc33.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabvz01:
ok i should update radio and spl first and how do i know which version of spl and radio i have and how do i know if my device can handle it

just trying to be sure i heard some people brick phone because he update radio before something else or afterwards but had to do with radio
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
You want to update your radio first. You find the radio by hitting menu on home screen > settings > about phone > baseband version. But since you just rooted and your on rc30 I know for a fact you don't have the new radio. You can find the newest radio and spl here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/

Once you updated your radio you can install the hardspl or the new spl which is also in that link. The new spl is required on the hero builds. To make sure you can install the new spl turn your phone off and turn it on by camera + power. If it says you have a PVT board then your good. Just remember to install the new radio FIRST. And when you install the new spl make sure you have a card reader to load your rom or a spare sd card with the rom you want on it (update.zip) because when you load it, it will overwrite your current rom and your phone will not boot but its not bricked.

The ROM of the HTC HERO is already on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533808

The HD and Hero share some hardware so ...

What would be the problem when porting the Android HERO ROM to the HTC Blackstone.

Does anybody think that it will be possible to run it on the HD in the future?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sosojerk:
No, the HW is not identical.

The fact that they have the same CPU doesn't mean that the HW is the same.

The issue can be:

1. Lack of drivers for Android platform for HD.

2. Lack of people to finalize the Andriod port on HD.

and some others.

Use search please as this question was asked a zilion times before.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] checkeys:
............
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] checkeys:
That's why I said that they share "some"of the HW..

(I read almost all the android topics and the forum search function did not work today..)

1] This indeed seems to be a problem also in the first attempt by xmoo and others

2]Tuxhero has moved his android porting work to http://www.androidkernel.org/
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sosojerk:
I think that the most difficult part is to have at least an Android version running on HD. Any version. Afterwards will be more simple to have any android flavor on HD.

So keep the finger crossed for tuxhero.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] boqonx:
Same specification doesn't mean they run exactly the same hardware. Display controller might be different, various controllers are different (and so are the registers), it's not as easy as people might think when it comes to porting OS to different devices. I see this as a common misconception and people usually don't (or won't) understand until they go through it (which obviously usually they don't as they prefer someone else does the things for them).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] checkeys:
I couldn't agree more..

I would like to be able to programme it myself, but it's an illusion to finish it before 2012 ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dosari666:
I'm not really interested in Android, but the TouchFlo3D "Sense" is astonishingly amazing and i really hope to see that feature ported to the Blackstone..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] boqonx:
The fact that you need to have the knowledge about linux kernel (plus phenomenal programming skills of course) is probably the hardest thing in porting android. Besides, blackstone isn't as affordable as other devices are, so to have people who really are committed to porting android would probably be a big bless.

There was one time when I actually thought about selling my blackstone and get G1/Magic instead..

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stefh:
What are the hardware differences then? I guess that would be step one of porting... How can you write drivers or search for drivers if you do not know what your looking/programming for?

On this moment this thought is still in my head, a HTC Hero or even an Iphone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sedde:
Though i fight for HTC's, last night a friend with a iphone 3gs came to me and started telling me how great it is etcetc. So i told him to make a small demonstration.

The first thing he did show me was the installer and cydia, where tons of people write apps and stuff and oh boy i was impressed.

Next thing he showed me was a app called shazam, it was a small app that could recognize every song that it could hear so i was impressed as well. ( installed a wm6 version of it on mine and didnt work nearly good as it did on iphone )

Scrolling is great, its ui is great, everything runs really smooth and i kinda miss that feeling.

Now if they do write a turn-by-turn gps app like destinator or igo, i am dumping my blackstone in like seconds.

Sorry but it feels that way
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sosojerk:
iGO will release soon their iGO My Way for iPhone.

But don't dump your backstone just yet. There are still fundamental limitations in iPhone that I couldn't live with.

Your are bound to iTunes, movies all need transcoding (iPhone lasks mass storage for USB apart from HD and for movies you need tools to convert them for iPhone), you are bound by apple accesories (like in house connectors while HD has mini USB). and if I dig more I can found many more things that are not so cool about iPhone (no ROM development like for Hd that gives you some real new things).
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] checkeys:
Shazam MusicID is also available for WM, I have it om my MIRI 6.5 ROM and it works perfect.

You can find it on piratebay, in one of the threads, and it is also included in Dutty's ROMs.

Then I show you these things:

- You can ask your friend to watch a video clip on youtube and you'll be proud of your HD.( HD is high definition and larger screen, faster than Iphone, I'm sure)

- Ask your friend to take a photograph and compare :P

- Compare with your friend how many application he can get with Iphone?

- Try to utilize your GPS speed :D

- To me, HD is for high class man and Iphone is for women :P

- Moreover, Iphone has exclusive Multi-touch right? But you can zoom by double touch :D. Ask your friend how inconvenience in terms of exchanging files ( connect to cable, go to Iphone center.) How convenience when you have a bluetooth :D

How can you fight for HTC when you dont know what are the strengths of its??!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] shazk21:
geting back to the hero and porting android from it. you are both right the hero shares much of its infastructure with the hd the differances do mean it would be a hard job but there are the androd program here although it has wavered its going ahead with a degree of sucses they could use the compatable code to greatly push forward the program. it would need the the headwear to be maped then the code for the sheared heard wear as well any othere core that would help/compatable with hd then integrate there own work there would probably still be some drivers and stuff to code but i think it would fill alot of gaps that are in the curent version. alot of work and we would need a/some good programers on it. the problem we have is when there is some progress when it slows as it dose (speeds up, down then up again) befor it picks up again in the slump people lose intrest. well all i can say is you should post this on the android development thread just incase they havnt thought of it.

note: technically you could do a direct port from the hero but you would need to extensivly modify the android code, wride drivers ect and probably use a modified spl
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] sedde:
1) Tbh its not all about the screen resolution

2) I dont even use my phone as a camera

3) Loads more i guess

4) Ok thats something i cant compare

5) Since it has a calendar, and i can use my files on the iphone, i can use it for myself, and no i am not a woman

6) He has bluetooth unlocked i ajm afraid, so thats a whole waste of time

Ok i am still fighting for HTC's , please make them more smooth and fluent and f*** iphones.

I have been in your situation before. And my answer is When I get HD touch like I reach to the best thing and I can hold it on my hand so I'm really happy for it. In fact, Window mobile is more usage in the world and it has alot of things to play on it. Love HD because the interface. I hate the interface of Iphone. So simple and easy to get bored
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ydon:
I've found this thread while searching an alternative OS for my Touch HD (Blackstone) because I really like this machine and most of its features, but I think it is very 'unconfortable' to use.

That's because I also own an iPhone 3G (not 3Gs) and I know its limitations (commented above in this thread).

A lot of things can be written about the differences between both devices, but I think that most of the searches for alternative UI's or OS for Blackstones (and others) are done trying to improve the user experience, which is originally pathetic in my opinion.

I'm talking mainly about two things:

- The erratic behaviour of the tapping, scrolling and other gestures on the touch screen (sometimes taps must be done more than two times because we want to avoid damages on it; or a tap is done when begining a scroll)

- The system UI is inspired by the used in computers, and the structure using multi-level menus is not the best even when the screen size is one of the larger in the market (Blackstone). That's the reason why the user must tap lots of times, scrolls etc. to do most of things.

So we will keep waiting for a solid OS which doesn't need a overlayed UI like Manila or so, and trying as much ROM's as we can. Meanwhile, I'll keep using iPhone as the main device for most of things, and Blackstone only for tasks in which iPhone features are too short (very few times, in my case).
