[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Double-UA:
I used to work with WM 5 & 6 phones, had plenty of them and enjoyed them all until I discovered the HTC Magic. What a giant leap forward!! Especially when using Google Apps as we do. I am however a bit reluctant to root the magic as it doesn’t seem like a walk in the park. I really miss being able to backup SMS messages and all the other apps that only run on rooted devices.

So my question is if the HERO is a rooted device or not.

Does anybody have an answer to this question? I’m so tempted to preorder one :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x9f:
the answer to the question should be probably yes seing how people have the system dump files. so its just a matter of time
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dayzee:
In the meantime, you can back up SMS and MMS with GBackup from Market - backs up to Gmail automatically - can also back up call log and pics...

Apologies for my ignorance but what does rooting the phone mean? I've just come from using a Windows mobile phone - which I have been using since the original SPV!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryallott:
Root access comes from Unix - Linux operating system speak (which is what Android runs on). Root basically means administrator privileges. So if you can run under root access then you have privileges to change/modify/do anything.

In the phone out of the box you do not have root to protect the phone from modifications that could brick it. People who do modifications under root access need to either know what they are doing, or follow a script from someone who knows what they are doing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipje:
Ofcourse it's not 'rooted' when you unpack it from the box.

Eventually I'll guess the Hero will be rooted, but when and how... we'll just have to wait.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryallott:
Easy son... He asked, I provided.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipje:
wasn't ment to be offensive in any way :)...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokingdragon:
But as in Unix /Linux you use an ordinary login for normal day to operations and su to to use root. You have to consciously change your privelidges which is safer!!

Yes, I installed Manila v2 on my 6700. It was installing about 10-15 minutes. It work enough fast, but taking a long time to boot.

Sorry for my bad english

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unicornasaurus:
I seem to be having a problem with the stock e-mail app on Soulife's Rogers Remix rom. Every now and then, a message gets stuck downloading..or so I think.

I've set the app to download the entire e-mail, and to download all messages off the server, but it still says "[This mail is still on the server]" and I can't find a way to download the message. If I quit the e-mail app, go back in, and click on the message..it says "Downloading" for a couple seconds, but I still get the same message.

Anyone know a way around this? Other than using K-9?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukekirstein:
Are you using the stock Gmail app or the Email app? Try using a different email address or different Email app all together. Are you using 3G or WiFi, anything that could be interrupted?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] longice:
There are quite a lot of different calendars out there. But which calendar is the very best for the Diamond??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] varvocel:
My personal favourite is SBSH Calendar Touch. It's not free but has appointments, tasks (important to me) and good finger-friendly interface.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elrohir:
Definately true, plus that the prog is eyecandy bigtime .

Thumbcal wins though, because of the usibility with my thumbs/fingers. It beats sbsh on this. Tasks are well integrated in TC.

These two progs were my personal finalists in a wide range contest....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] cliffordsyoung:
TF3D2 Calendar

I was quite impressed with the SBSH Calendar and used for quite a while on TF3D1. The list mode provided a good view of the week ahead and was easily customised (I found the trial version and attached it).

On the TF3D2, Manila had a new tab included, "Calendar" which makes it a little bit more convenient but only shows Months and Days.

I use Homescreen AllBg - Tore edition with the TF3D2. This gives a great display on the Home tab of up to 5 appointments as shown.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] SDM197:
Hi,

I have an issue when I try to send a txt message, when I type "T" in the "To" field looking for a friend of mines name "Tony" I get all the "Tony's" listed as suggestions except the one I am after.

I have deleted all the contacts, then synced with Outlook, that did not cure it. Then I deleted that particular contact, then re added it back manually checking every piece of info was in the correct format but it still does not appear as one of the suggestions.

I can get round this by tapping the "To" then selecting from the "Contacts" but I cannot understand why it does not offer the Tony I am after as a suggestion like all the other Tony's in my contacts.

Any ideas?

[HTC Excalibur] jeonatl3:
Hi

I was wondering if anyone here is using A2DP for streaming music, and is having problems with the volume?

I'm using PocketTunes with a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 headset and I have to ramp the volume all the way to 100% in PT to get it to pump out what I think is a reasonable volume. Anything much below that isn't loud enough to drown out public transport etc, and that's using those in-ear phones that are supposed to isolate at least a bit!

I've disabled the option to limit PocketTunes volume to the system volume so the system volume setting isn't set too low or anything like that.

Weird thing is the phone speaker is nice and loud and if I plug in a wired headset then I can get a comparable volume level at around the 55-60% mark.

I'm beginning to think it might be my headset, which doesn't have a volume control on it... but I thought headsets that did have a volume control just adjusted the volume on the device which wouldn't really make any difference!

All apps seem to be limiting in this way, whether it's WMP or PocketTunes or TCPMP. There are boost options in settings but all that does is distorts my music really, which is rather distracting.

Any advice appreciated! It's hard to tell whether it's the device, the headset or the software. Running WM6.5 and have done some registry tweaking to disable joint-stereo and increase the A2DP BitPool, so the quality's fine - just too soft.

Cheers

[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
Obvious method here.. downloaded the zip, unzipped, it's under system/app

Pushed to my G1 - works perfectly (I installed as data app, not system app - so you can load it through adb, sdcard, download, etc)
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
wow, I'm sure A LOT of people will find this quite exciting if this is fully working!
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
INteresting...nice find! :)
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Does it work?
[G1 Android Development] bhilgeman:
so did you do

adb push Mail.apk /data/app ??

What exactly was your command to push this to your G1?
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
yup that was my command, but when you do it like that you can just throw it on your sdcard and run astro or linda
[G1 Android Development] Diceman4:
This is essentially the same app that is included with Hero and Rogers ROMs. IMHO Touchdown Exchange is much more full featured and well integrated. Well worth the $20
[G1 Android Development] Rukus911:
It does work. I saved the .apk to the sd card, and used Linda to find it, installed it with installer, and bam....my work exchange email is working. It does not sync your contacts, or calendar, like the hero version, but it is a start. Mail comes thru flawlessly. It does support encryption for the mail box, ssl. Hope this helps.
[G1 Android Development] njuncos:
Installs just fine on google based rom. Dunno if it works cause i dont have an exchange account...but the other guy said it works fine

It works SO good. Push support, signatures, MEETING scheduling!, freaking everything. Thanks for the APK, you're epic!
[G1 Android Development] andjohn:
Oh, and one more thing

I installed it with AppManager from the SD card, doesn't get easier then that. :)
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
I can't get it to install on CM 3.6.5.

I tried the easy method of using a file manager and installing the apk from the SD card but I get "Work Mail cannot be installed on this phone."

I tried pushing it to data/apps and I get a boot loop.
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
Worked beautifully for me. I already used it to send an email. Perfect. Thank you for this!!

Works fine here. I haven't got a Notification in my notification bar yet saying I have any emails, but it pulls down emails when I dod it manually and deletes them just fine from the exchange server.

Thank you very much for this little gem! :)
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
I have received a couple emails with this already, and sent a couple out. the only downside is that when you get a new email, in the dock it says

too bad it doesn't say who and/or subject...

other than that. can't complain.
[G1 Android Development] Jak Crow:
It will probably get updated at some point to bring over the additional calendar and contact functionality that it already has on the rogers and hero roms.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
well, I'm not exactly going to dump Nitrodesk Touchdown since it is payed for and has so many great features (like mail and calendar widgets). But this app is fast and easy to navigate email with. I installed from ASTRO with no errors or issues on CM 3.5.6

I like how it limits the number of kb to download and lets you download more if necessary. That's probably a big part of it's performance.
[G1 Android Development] cal3thousand:
Been waiting for this... Thanks!

what a nice treat before leaving work today!
[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
Installed fine via Astro but...

I can't connect to Exchange 2003 using credentials that function fine via a browser. This is that whole "Exchange 2003 doesn't play nice with mobile devices, why don't you install a RIM server instead" thing, isn't it.

Nice find though!:cool:

EDIT: NVRMND - wifi wasn't on - DOH! Works well, Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] temporizer:
LMFAO!!!!!. I don't care who you are, ^^^^ that's funny ^^^^

Lol on the edit too.

But seriously, glad you got it working.
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Does it assess ALL of the folders on the server, or just inbox? Can you move a newly received message to a different folder on the server for storage / future reference?

<edit> Yes, it does assess all the folders. And you CAN move incoming emails to those folders. This is great! Now, if it just had Calendar... </edit>

works fine for me. Thanks

worked great for me! now i can stop carrying around my ipod touch with tether running in the G1!
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
AHHH, OMG!

I rooted back in Feb '09 with JF 1.41. I later went to 1.42, 1.43, and then to Haykuro Hero. I shortly later discovered the drama associated with that, but having work e-mail was too much a treat for me.

Rosie was great, but with (what I assume is a Class 2) non-Class-6 SD card, the phone was just WAY! too slow.

Apps also started failing.

So I got rid of Apps2SD and dealt with having no space.

I finally got tired of dealing with Hero sans Rosie and it still being "futzy" (which, btw, is also the name given to the phone by my wife). So I decided tonight, "screw it, I don't need work e-mail that bad, I'll go back to a more stable ROM and research porting hero's mail myself". Thank God I don't have to, now!

I chose Cyanogen (mainly because I haven't tried it yet) and so far it's faster (MUCH) than Hero on this hardware. And then, I start researching, and lo and behold only yesterday did this app show up here!

I've installed it, and it at least downloaded my mail fine. I tried sending and so far it doesn't appear to have arrived, but I'm confident it will.

To whomever found this, I think I can safely say for all of us who use Exchange and don't need full Outlook-on-a-phone support,

THANK YOU!!!

;)Cheers!:cool:
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Nice interface, but

NO PUSH

.

I guess i'll be sticking with Moxier for a while.

Edit: Mea culpa, there is a push option, just kind of hidden in a menu. Read post #43.
[G1 Android Development] kicker1:
Just tried it out and it works, i will stick with touchdown for the Mo.... I have had recurring issues with all the rogers based roms when syncing contacts i get the error "error occurred on the computer running exchange" maybe its linked to the HTC core :( hope we can get contacts sync ported over.
[G1 Android Development] ariesboy475:
Push does work.

BTW, can/will this app be able to handle multiple exchange accounts or multiple email accounts? If I remember from a SS of the Magic, there was a screen to select Exchange or Other(imap/pop).
[G1 Android Development] kicker1:
I am with on this one the mail client is a lot better than K9 or the the one in the google rom :)
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
I ran it alongside Moxier and sent my exchange a test mail from Gmail. Moxier notified me in about 5 seconds. HTC Work Mail notified me in 15 minutes.

I only see an option to change the polling frequency, no push. I could check with IT for logs, but i'm pretty sure this isn't running push. If you want to check for yourself, download the Roadsync beta and send yourself a test email from a different email account.
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
From your inbox:

Menu key -> More -> Settings

Send & Receive -> Check Frequency

You'll see the first option is "Every 15 Minutes" - SCROLL UP.

Select "As items arrive"

Edit: Actually, sitting here at my workstation, my phone received the email before my Outlook 2003 client did - about 15 seconds or so. I'm on an Exchange 2007 server.

There's your push.
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
Ahh, of course it had to be a setting in the polling dropdown menu :rolleyes:

Thanks for the heads up, i'll test it out some more.
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
Yeah, I didn't see it at first either. I hate how some of those menus start in the middle of the list because of the currently selected option, it's a bit counter-intuitive.
[G1 Android Development] kgdg:
are you guys all running non-hero rom's?

On my hero rom, when i tried to open it through Astro, it only gave me an option to 'Uninstall'. Which means it is the same exact app as the one that comes with the Hero rom? (it even says com.htc.android.mail).

I thought someone said it is not the same?
[G1 Android Development] alritewhadeva:
Correct me If i'm wrong but Hero i believe already has exchange. You can set up a mail account that uses Microsoft Active exchange or something like that :cool:
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
Well, if you can get google calendar synch running smoothly, your exchange calendar can show up as another color in the built in calandar app. I've had limited success with it, but mostly because my meeting appointments change so often.

edit: O my goodness...just tried "as they arrive". Very nice. Considering that Touchdown says "activesync support not found" for my work's exchange server, is this "as they arrive" feature just a constant polling?
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
It seems to be true push. If it was constant polling your network traffic indicator would never stop blinking.
[G1 Android Development] moosefist:
is this only for exchange? or will this allow me to setup my imap where i can receive attachments with out using k9
[G1 Android Development] ariesboy475:
I just did an explicit sync for gmail, calendar, & contacts. There are no errors. Then looked at the built-in calendar app as well as the google web calendar. Both do not show up. Is there something we need to enable or change to get the sync going?
[G1 Android Development] kgdg:
Yes it does, but neither the Hero version nor Haykuro's nor any other ROM using the HTC Mail.apk application has worked for me. It keeps giving me 'This account cannot be created. Please try again later.'

I think the cause is that my company pushes a security policy (pin-locking the phone) down to the phone.

Touchdown and Roadsync Beta work because they support this, HTC's Mail.apk doesn't support it i think.

But when I saw this thread, i thought this was Google's version of the Mail.apk (was hopeful this PIN security would be supported in this version), and different than HTC's Mail.apk.

But it looks like Google just used HTC's Mail.apk in Sapphire.

Yes, I can purchase TD and be done with it, but I figured it would only be a matter of time before Google supported Exchange natively (with PIN security), but i guess i will have to wait until Donut or Flan or whatever.

KG
[G1 Android Development] maxawesome:
In that case, this is different from the HTC mail app found on the Rogers ROMs. I'm using Soulife's 2.8 Rogers and calendar, email, and contacts all sync via Exchange account using DirectPush.
[G1 Android Development] maxawesome:
My company also enforces this policy (on WinMo phones at least), but Exchange on my Rogers build works flawlessly. I connect to mail.<companydomain>.com as the server and I have enabled SSL for the connection.

Nothing else was required aside from my domain, username, and password.
[G1 Android Development] bonanza87:
Does it synch the calendar? It worked great for email, super!!!!
[G1 Android Development] EruElUnico:
THANKS

Thanks, it works fine.

I will try to take some other apps from the Hero from Fatality (for example calendar sync from exchange and facebook sync for contacts), maybe we can take a clean Ion ROM and aply all this apps (its not needed in the rom, we can put only in a directory to install if you need)
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
Unfortunately, Google Calendar Sync will not work for me. I don't use Outlook on my PC. I need a solution that syncs directly with the Exchange server. Has anyone checked the MyTouch distribution to see if there is perhaps a separate app that does Exchange Calendar?
[G1 Android Development] stellarman:
My company enforces the PIN security policy as well. But, I was able to get this app set up and working without a pin or any other security. I just put in my server, domain, user and password. Check your settings with your IT department to be sure you are entering the correct data.
[G1 Android Development] psrtx:
I assume this does not work with IMAP?

Did not see an option to select server type so I guess this will not work with IMAP/POP email servers?
[G1 Android Development] cj chitwood:
I didn't either. You can type the server name in, but it's just the name, not the type. I believe this app is Exchange-only, especially now as I look in the account settings, and it's in bold print at the top, "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync".

Which is fine, though, if you don't mind using the stock mail app for POP/IMAP.

I also see it's a single-account-only app. Thankfully, I only have one Exchange account to worry about.
[G1 Android Development] revwillie:
If you've followed the instructions here, google does the rest. I know that there can be a significant delay in seeing the updates go through.
[G1 Android Development] sagementor:
BCC in the Exchange mail come with my Roger ROM (ramjet v7) does not work. How about this one?
[G1 Android Development] TaylorGold:
This was my first APK install and it couldn't have been any easier.

Thanks!!! :D
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
yup this one can do BCC
[G1 Android Development] wesgarner:
sorry, exchange only
[G1 Android Development] uberingram:
Not really. It's pretty much the same app minus some code that makes it not depend on HTC framework to run. The differences lie within Contacts and Calendar which are both HTC specific. Since neither of these exist on Google core builds that functionality is lost.
