[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbie725:
themadbogart<funny name> I would do what AdrianK said... get it all setup first following the root directions that you are using... once you feel comfortable doing that read how to do the new radio... and then move to Cyanogen's new recovery image... but READ up on how to 1st... and if you don't need the new Haykuro SPL then don't use it... Most of all the Hero based ROMS require it... due to the size of the ROM... plain and simple it has bricked many a phone and you can find info on the "bricked" phones as well... Good luck to you and if you get stuck don't continue alone come back and read... read.... read... read!

peace

Hi,

I just startet to make my own themes to winmo 6.5 with ThemeGenCE 2.6 but i can´t manage to save it? The save button is not active. I really don´t know what i´m doin wrong.

Help me out guys!
[General Questions and Answers] BenThon:
Because you choose Portrait + Landscape Theme and the Start Image for Landscape is missing ! Option for saving is greyed if all images are not there !

And I am not sure that my program works for WM 6.5 ....:(

Oh, stupid me :) I think its possible. I found this thread:

I often read about people forcing AMR Full Rate or EFR on their GSM phones, but I have never heard of how exactly this is done on a Windows Mobile / HTC phone like the Touch Pro, or Xperia, etc. Does anyone know how to do this?

No one knows how to do this? Junky old Moto's can do this, but an HTC can't?
[G1 Accessories] :
Hey all,

My G1 is a bit tatty and could do with a respray. What sort of paint would i need and would i need to do any prep work before hand.?
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
you always need to do a little prep work before painting anything

have you considered using colorwarepc.com?

im having juphro custom engrave my battery cover and then sending it to colorware to have the phone painted over so ill have a fresh paint job and im thinking the paint job colorware will do will smooth out the lines from the laser etching
[G1 Accessories] brian_v3ntura:
the thing is about colorwarepc.com is that it cost 175 to paint ur g1, it voids your warranty and insurance . and it takes 2-3 weeks to receive your phone back... i would do it...but i cant be without my g1 for 2-3 weeks =\
[G1 Accessories] wootroot:
it would be hard for me too.... except i have a second g1

and yes i know it voids the warranty, but so far i havnt come acrossed any reasons to do a warranty claim, the biggest warranty claims are buggy firmware, and if i have a buggy rom, its my own fault, i flashed it onto it, plus the g1 im doing it to doesnt have insurance, it was a ebay g1, so not much for me to lose all the way around, with having it etched, its going to take atleast a month to get it out and back, but when its back, it will be sick
[G1 Accessories] SRT102JZ:
just do it yourself, its not that hard. just do it right-

follow the guide somewhere on the forums to take the phone completley apart

tape off certain areas that you dont want paint to get on

lightly sand the plastic surfaces so the new paint/primer will stick nicely

use the plastice primer and paint of your choice

obviously primer goes on first

spray a couple layers of paint, with time in between each layer to dry

*optional*

can also opt to use a clear coat over the color coat to protect the paint from scratches

i also used aircraft paint remover to remove the rubber stuff from the battery cover.
[General Questions and Answers] NEngenheiro:
hi guys

My question is simple, probably the awnser

er won't be, i just want to know what's the best htc out there to buy, or other PDA/Phone to buy. It's supposed to be windows mobile based so i can use some apps (It will be a phone for work, soi need to use some health department based apps, usually for WM). Keeping in mind that i would rather have an htc but other opinions are welcome, money is no issue (company pays :rolleyes:).

thanks in advance

Depends on what you want really.

I would go for Touch Pro 2 if you want QWERTY keyboard.

Diamond if you want compact.

Touch HD if you want large screen no QWERTY.
[General Questions and Answers] Monty Burns:
Other significant options (non-htc) are:

Samsung Omnia II's - due out any day now, come in "iphone" style, slider keyboard and blackberry shapes. These all come with supposedly very funky, very battery saving AMOLED screens. If they follow the same standards as the Omnia 1, they are a VERY worthy competitor.

Acer M900 (which I use) - Slide out keyboard

Acer F900 - iphone style

I personaly won't touch another HTC device due to my experiences with the past four i've owned - they all hardware failed one way or another. My Omnia was about as near to perfect as I ever got. Before I heard about the Samsung Omnia II's I'd already bought the Acer M900 (the M900 is a great phone though and I wont be replacing it for a while, even though I can afford to).
[General Questions and Answers] NEngenheiro:
thanks for the quick replys guys.

the pro II seems a very good choice, but i really want to make this right, so i've decided to do some more checking b4 i buy.

Monty raised up a good question that i should add to my scale, the omnia II, but what's the difference between that one and the omnia pro?

http://bizanywhere.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/samsung-omnia-pro-qwerty.jpg?w=560&h=464

the url above (if it isn't blocked) is the pro i think, seems a very sharp phone, and it looks good 2.

HTC is still my preference but i want to be sure.

PS: i have a htc p3470 pharos , and i love it, 2 bad it doesn't have wi-fi and a faster cpu. i had an iphone for about a month (laughs) it's a very good phone, for a leisure phone, for a second phone maybe, but not a working man's phone, at least in my situation (if you're puff daddy propably is).
[General Questions and Answers] Monty Burns:
The OmniaPro (slide out keyboard) trounces the TouchPro 2 in a lot of things:

PDADB Compare

I've also listed the old Omnia for comparison sake as well as the Omnia II and my current phone of choice, the Acer M900

edit: to be fair though, i dont think you would be upset with a TP2 either, its still a well spec'ed phone.... just hope it holds together more than 6 months!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] glhturbo:
I want to root my HTC Magic very soon but I need help at the very beginning. I have the Android SDK R3 and USB drivers installed. My question is, does the device have to be "recognized" in fastboot mode? When I type in "adb devices" with the phone in normal operation, it returns the serial number just fine. In fastboot mode, I don't get it in the list of devices. Drivers are installed for both modes. (please see photos below). Is this normal?

Marc
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xyzulu:
Does: fastboot devices

.. show any devices?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] glhturbo:
Shows nothing at all. I took the first picture, then turned off the phone, fastbooted, then took the second picture. I blurred out part the serial number from the first "adb devices" command, but the second one I type is as it appears.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xyzulu:
Does the command:

fastboot devices

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rondey-:
Earlier today I was at my brother in laws house, was gonna copy some music from my phone to his computer (always have a usb cable in my car :) ). For some reason windows (vista) kept giving me unknown device and the option of mounting the sdcard never appeared.

I thought that was odd, never had the problem before, was short on time and didnt mess with it besides tryin to unplug and plug it back in. Well I get home and I see there is a new cyanogen build (a couple actually, mine is about 2 weeks old).

I plug in my phone with the normal usb cable I use and nothing. The phone charges (as it did on my brother in laws computer) but I the option to mount it doesnt come up on my phone. I dont see it in device manager and adb also cant find the device. USB debugging is turned on as well.

My only worry is that it is not a software problem because I got pretty drunk the other night and fell on my phone. The touchscreen is cracked a little but its just cosmetic damage, the phone has functioned 100% after that until now. Is there anything I can try here short of wiping and flashing my ROM again?

Tried searching but "sdcard mount issue" and other similar searches come up with pages and pages of unrelated stuff
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukekirstein:
Vista never sat well with my phone, ADB was a pain to get working and then, of course, I lose my data cable :(

But as far as that goes, I'm not even sure Vista works with the Android SDK, because I never got it to work. I was able to succesfully mount and unmount like it was a stock phone.

Your best bet is to, indeed, wipe and reflash. Use Cyan's recovery to make a backup and you can restore that after you sort things out with the sync'ing problems.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rondey-:
Well I have had the SDK working just fine, well adb and fastboot is all I have used on both my desktop and laptop.

Guess I will have to dig around for my adapter and give try giving it a wipe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rondey-:
Well I just wiped and flashed the lastest cyanogen, before doing that I booted into recovery, hit the back button and it went into fastboot mode. I tried giving it the command to reboot, fastboot reboot, cmd prompt showed as it should be successful but it would never reboot.

I didnt think that was a good sign but I went ahead and wiped and flashed, same problem still persists. The sdcard worked fine in the adapter and both my ext3 and fat32 partition are working fine through the phone.

Anyone have any ideas? Would be nice if I didnt crack my screen, although its just cosmetic damage (phone functioned 100% for weeks now), I am pretty sure that will void my warranty if the phone were still under warranty.

This problem isn't huge, would like to be able to use adb again and not have to turn my phone off and use the adapter if I want to flash a new ROM.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers in Windows?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rondey-:
It isn't showing up in device manager (only way I know to uninstall the drivers).

[HTC Startrek] CuteePatootee:
Hi

I SuperCID and installed new roms in my 8525 a few times. I just bought a 3125 StarTrek and was going to install [STD_V9c] WM6.1 Build 5.2.21040 AKU 1.6.0 by Erofich. He recommends to do the SuperCID. When I read the sticky it seems so different than what I had to do with the 8525 that I am really lost. I have to go into the registry and then use all the different programs to get this done? Then there is others that say they did nothing to their phones and just upgraded and it was fine. I'm so confused. This phone is sim unlocked and I did do the SDA_ApplicationUnlock (this said it was fine and to reboot but I really didn't see it doing anything with the phone). I also already have the latest rom from Cingular already on this phone when I bought it.

Can some kind soul please link me with what exactly I should do? The SuperCID really has me stumped.

TIA

[G1 General] jordanjay29:
Whoops!

So I had JF 1.51 ADP on my phone, and I flashed the Hero Theme to my phone, wiping the second and third screens as they prescribed.

I encountered some errors and funky happenings while on the theme (like all calls showing up as Unknown, WTF?), so I decided to flash back.

I didn't realize that I'd need to clear my home screens again, and now I believe I'm encountering issues with that. android.process.acore keeps force closing.

Here's my question. Through ADB, is there a way to clear the homescreen layout so that I can avoid this error and most of all, avoid wiping?
[G1 General] Diceman4:
No, not really. It would take much more work to find the correct section in the phone data than it would be to just reregister your phone after wiping.

You could also use Backup for root users to backup most of your data/info to make wiping easier.

I am not sure why wiping seems to be such a problem to some people, but if you plan on applying any themes/custom ROMs/rotting your phone to begin with you kind of have to accept it as a necessary hassle...

To quote someone else (Sorry I can't remember where I heard this)

Just wipe...its good hygiene.
[G1 General] jordanjay29:
I just wound up flashing back to the Hero theme, where I was able to clear the screens.

But my issues persisted, so I assume I just had a bad wipe from back when I migrated to JF 1.5, and so I wiped again. This has resolved all the problems.

Wipes are nice, but app data is fickle and not friendly. Having to redo the settings of Ringo, Locale, Power Manager and many more is just annoying.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xenub:
My brand new HTC Diamond keeps shutting down on me! :confused:

It never shutdowns while I'm actively using it (even when I browse a site that max out my memory), so I suppose it happens only when the screen is off. Many times a day, I try to use my phone and realize it is off and it wont power back up until I open the case and reset the battery. I've tried to find similar problem report on this forum, the only post I've seen the person seems to experience similar problem but there's one symptom I don't get : on my phone the battery charge level always reports a credible/expected amount.

Its my third mobile in a row that behave like that (Motorolla -> LG -> HTC). I feel like I'm cursed!

I'm suspecting a faulty battery even though its brand new! That will be my next move, yet in the meantime I'd like to know more about what that behaviour implies : needing a battery reset?

Currently use (but it has the problem since I have it from Rogers!):

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] thazeid:
Okay so i'm a new user with a HTC Fuze and i haven't customized it yet, just added a few tweaks. The first thing I noticed about this phone is that it's battery life is too short. I have "locked" data with AT&T to not get extra charges so i'm not connecting to Media Net and it still consumes a lot of battery.

I went out of my house at 2:30pm with 100% and kept texting people in a 1 hour bus trip (round trip) so 2 hours in total using the device and when I got home the battery was half-way gone.

I bet i could spend the battery of this phone in less than 20 minutes -> activate flash led + music in the background + wifi + bluetooth + 3g + texting at the same time / browsing internet.

Well after looking for tweaks and whatnot this is deff the best solution (however, a little expensive) for this phone:

It's a 3000mAh battery. (Regular HTC brings a 1340mAh stock)

It costs 89.99$ (free shipping)

So for anyone interested in increasing their battery by the double, and even a bit more than the stock phone that's your best solution. If you combine this with a few tweaks your phone will be able to work moderate-high use for more than 15 hours.

PS. Another solution that i found is a portable charger (AA battery size) that you can connect to your device anywhere at anytime. You can perform almost 2 FULL charges with only 1 battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] greg3305:
I have no problem getting at least two or three days out of a single charge. Stock ROM with the TF3D garbage scrubbed and replaced with SPB. Haven't disabled the 3G either, and it downloads my email every 5 minutes. I'm not otherwise a heavy internet user, though it sounds like I use it more than you. I maybe talk on it for 20 or 30 minutes a day.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
I understand 100% what you mean. I do a fair amount of texting, but usually a full day, and by the end of the day (if the battery lasts that long), my battery is completely gone. Texting really does take up a lot of battery from the phone, and there isn't any way around it. Although some roms take up more battery than others (energy), and some take less (ROMeOS), your still gonna suck a lot of your battery by texting. I thought about that battery as well a while back, but after thinking about it, I decided that I really don't want to make my tp any thicker than it already is.
