Nope, don't think it will ever happen

The concept of Iphone does not allow additions or protruding parts. Besides, the latest trends indicate shift towards keyless or full qwerty full touch large screen devices and Iphone is already there. They will improve functions and OSX, adding a video call and other gadgety things, but will not add a keyboard in any shape or form. They don't even want an external one used, that's something to ponder.

In 10 years we won't even remember Iphone, we'll have the next best thing - a cellphone inbuilt into our brans with calls made by voice and answered by blinking twice or pulling on the ear. Or better still - we'll genetically modify our future progeny to be born with a cellphone already growing in the brain and attached to the eye, so that any e-mails, txt messages, photos and movies are downloaded and viewed automatically and video calls can be made clicking your tongue :p

back on topic... the IPhone will probably never receive a built in keyboard. but i am sure small external ones will appear eventually with Bluetooth being opened up.

Apple will likely release an overly expensive bluetooth keyboard that the masses will buy because it looks good and works only with the iPhone.

Doubtful, one person owns XDA as far as I know.

The genius that is Apple marketing. When you can get hardcore WinMo enthusiasts on the most hardcore WinMo follower's site on the net, to start 50+ threads about the iPhone, you know you've won.

I also have an iPhone, and no one on the iPhone boards gives WinMo a second thought, much less 50+ threads, going on and on and on ad nauseum about WinMo this and WinMo that.

Hello,

Has someone else encountered charset problem with "htc mail 0.97" ? That's the default mail app in htc branded magics (mine is TIM italy htc branded), and I have noticed the default charset is set in Chinese, no matter what language you choose (amongst english, italian, spanish: those are the 3 languages included with my phone).

The bug basically is that if you reiceve a text-only email with no charset specified [this happens mostly for automated emails like the one you reiceve from a web server (i.e.: forum notifications, and such)] then the htc mail software will display it in chinese characters, and there's no way to change this behaviour.

I have submitted sort of a bug report to HTC, but i don't know if this will obtain any result.

Do you eventually know any very good and solid alternative as an email software which will allow you to set a default charset ?

Thanks for your help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] ziokendo:
(Just in case someone would be interested in the future)

HTC's answer of my bug report was quite hilarious. They suggested me to use another software. You have to admit that was a brilliant way to answer a bug report for their own htc mail software, i mean..

I installed K-9 and the problem seem solved, anyway. The original HTC Mail bundled with the magic is quite a buggy imap client compared to K9 mail, infact often it even "forgets" to check mail at the specified interval, this won't happen with K9 software.

All in all I am happy this way, though HTC demonstrates once again they work in a crappy way, with little or no attention to details and no support for their customers as long as they're able to keep selling their hardware. In two months they have ten further new models out in the market and they'll forget about you.

I eagerly wait for the new sony ericsson, motorola and other brands android phones.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] kavyt:
I noticed this problem as well and run K-9. I have however found the Hero mail app to be fantastic if there was a way to pull that out and get an apk of that you would be happier then with K-9

Hey guys. I just followed the new and improved apps2sd2 method and when I went to apps2sd2 I clicked copy all apps to sd card and now after my phone restarted I have no apps and my sd card seems to be ... wiped. I just looked around and foudn out that my computer is not recognizing the other partition so it thinks my 8gb card is 6 gb. That means my apps may still be there, how can I retrieve them?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
You need to use terminal to type:

$su

#cp -r /system/sd/app /data/app

that's where the apps are usually located on the sdcard. Or you can try using Root Explorer to access that folder and see if they're there. Its probably just missing some symlinks tho which is easy enough to fix. Again, back in terminal:

ln -s /data/app /system/sd/app

should do the trick.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I thought the new method used unionfs rather than symlinks :-/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Eh, I'm just doing this off the top of my head from when I used the app. Sometimes it wouldn't work, and I would just link it manually cuz at least I could access the partition.

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jonrulezz:
Hello.

A couple of days ago, I turned on my viva and accidently pressing down the volume down key at the side of the phone. Then a text appeared saying 'Searching SD Card Contents' and then it goes to the tri-color bootloader. Then I was reading a couple of threads on Flashing roms via an SD Card. The instructions was pretty much of the same (I mean that by going into the BootLoader and the Searching SD Card contents part). So i was searching on the XDA wiki on how to flash ROMS via the SD Card. I was looking at the HERMES and NIKE ones, It says you need to name the nbh file HERMIMG.nbh and NIKEIMG.nbh. So i tried by renaming V20 OF PhamQuang's Wm6.5 Rom to OPALIMG.nbh (OPALIMG because its the first four letters of the codename of the Viva, like the HERMES is HERM) with no success, but the original HTC Stock Rom to OPALIMG.nbh also with success! Not bad for a 12 year old kid! Lol.

anyway, if you don't wanna read that, just follow the steps below,

1. Empty (erase the contents) of your microSD card from the Windows Mobile file explorer or format it from your computer using a card reader, make sure to format in FAT32 and not FAT.

2. Extract the .NBH file from your prefered ROM upgrade.

3. Rename the .NBH file to OPALIMG.nbh and copy it to the root folder of your microSD card.

4. With the microSD card inserted on the phone, start the bootloader (The bootloader is booted by pressing down the Volume Down button immediately after resetting or turning on your phone), keep the button pressing until this image appears.

5. Flashing might hang after some time but this is normal. Just wait. Complete flash takes about 30 minutes, so check your battery or connect to charger before the flashing process starts. After the flashing process is complete, it will tell you to press any button to continue. After this the bootloader screen with its red/green/blue color is shown. Just reset the device and it will boot the new ROM.

I Successfully flashed nguoc's 23053 rom with this process, took less than 10 min

I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU HAVE BRICKED YOUR PHONE OR VOIDED YOUR WARRANTY! DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

If I have helped you, the least you could do is say thanks by posting a reply.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Diagrax:
If im not mistakin the rom itsself has to be LZX compressed, and ur SD card has to be FAT32 Format
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] jonrulezz:
i mentioned the FAT32 in step 1, but i have no idea about lzx
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Diagrax:
Ah my bad i guess scanning thru it u dont get the whole "picture"

yea its not problem but to use this feature to the max we should have a stripped version of our roms like Ivan's Juststable micro edition over at the herald sub-forum and then we could really have memory to waste and such :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] XirXes:
I've been using this method for a while, in my opinion its safer. In my experience it works for flashing Phamquang's ROMs as well. I used it for v 19 and 20.

Problemm with the ROM!

Hello everyone, i'm new here, i have a HTC Opal (viva), and i want to upgrade the rom, i was trying to do it by SD card, and when i press the down volume button, appears the screen red/gree/blue but it never disapears. I can't do it by an other way (by usb cable) cause the device turns off when the status bar goes on 2%, so the only way that this thing doesnt turns off is when i insert the rom in the SD card, what can i do!!?, please help!.

PD. oh an other thing is that sometimes appears something like "your update is corrupted". this is a very confusign thing :confused:
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] isfected:

if i named OPALIMG.nbh appears a white screen and says "Cheking SD contents" then "Invalid certificate, press any key to continue"

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] karthiksk:
I have the same problem that a few others have faced, Once i restart my phone and hold the vol down button, it goes into bootloader mode but after that nothing happens. It just stays there.

And in the in the SD card all that is reqd is the OPALIMG.nbh file? sounds strange cause a lotta other places have other round about procedure as compared to this.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] karthiksk:
[FIXED]

The SD card wasn't formatted using FAT32 it was formated using FAT. re-formatted it,

Ok mate, while you are looking for the nice slider why dont you pick a chance to create it by yourself mate. It's more excited right?

Thx for your reply. Yes I have beening making these nice icons myself, but what I really want is the slider itself.. cheers

Hi guys,

Just found some nice sliders from Diamond posts, in also works in HD. some of them tested to work in Dutty's 4.0

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=441604
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] rider123:
Thanks. I was looking for the same.

I have been using HD Wall to add custom icons and it works great. I too wanted different sliders than the black default one. I now use Pamas clear slider and it works good. I will try some of the ones on the link you provided.

A slightly off topic question. Why are many using a cab to install icons? I find it a lot easier to just copy the appropriate manila files directly. Same with the clear curtains and bottom bar. I have all of my manila files backed up. I also have a folder with just the backed up original icon manila files and subfolders with the custom ones. I can switch back and forth very quickly this way.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Hello All

Is anyone having lower signal with the Hero? I have downloaded CellFinder and it reports a signal of -109Db most of the time, (1 bar). sometimes I get to 2, 3 bars but never full. I mate who is also on orange gets 4 bars on his win mob phone.

On Orange website it says i should have excellent reception where I am at (work).

Just wondering if anyone else has these issues.

This mate is getting his Hero tomorrow so i will compare and if he gets signal then i will get a new one off orange.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
My signal is a bit rubbish to where I live - The diamond was a bit better but my SE 995 does hold the signal at home but even that still drops.

I was thinking of backing the device
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
I blame Orange. Going to be sending mine back in next couple of days and getting the T-Mobile one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
This is more of a HTC issue IMO as its the same with t-mobile where I live with HTC handsets.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
so do the majority of people have bad signal?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Sending it back under the 7 day agreement?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
Yeh, I'm having signal issues too, I'v had the handset replaced, issue still remains.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
Yup, received it last Thursday so have a couple of days before I need to ring them. Hopefully going to still have the Hero when T-Mobile stores get the G2 in so I can use it as a bargaining tool :-D, nothing says I'm prepared to leave T-Mobile like having already signed up with Orange.

I've been using HTC phones for the past 6 years and have no real complaints about signal strength on T-Mobile. Very rarely have no signal and usually have a fast 3G signal. The Hero on Orange is terrible where I am. Unfortunately can't try my T-Mobile sim in the Hero as it's locked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Did someone not say on this board that they have unlocked their Hero. If you are listening, have you tried other sims? do they get a better reception?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
Just remember its 7 working days and not including the delivery day not just 7 days - so if I got my phone last Wednesday - I have until this Friday to contact Orange about the return.

I'm just undecided as the iPhone but not 3Gs is coming Oranges way soon.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Shame to hear another singal prob with HTC again. My diamond was crap to begin with but the updates sorted it in the end. My Hero is due to be delivered on Thursday.

Can those experiancing signal issues also state what network they are on. Maybe Voda and O2 on the lower bands my differ from Orange and T-Mobile on the higher?

Thanks.. Mark
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:

It was exactly the same for me :(

TytnII > Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
Can't say i noticed anything different from any other HTC built phone I've used since the Canary.

Happily getting HSPA, maybe 1-2 bars at home, but easily cracking along at over 1.5 mbps nearly all the time. As with all HTC handsets I've had, the signal bars don't seem to have any real effect on the speeds and call quality I get. But maybe I'm just in an area with very few T-Mobile customers!

Update: Thinking about it, I'm actually getting better signal with this thing than i did with the diamond...that damn thing just kept dropping out all the damn time at home!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I'm having no problems with my Hero on T-Mobile. I visited a friend in Hanwell on Wednesday, and I've always had issues with T-Mobile signals in his place and the Hero worked no better or worse than any other phone I've used there.

I do notice a pattern on this thread, and that is most the people reporting poor signal strength seem to be on Orange.

I upgraded from a nokia 6300 (about as normal as a phone can possibly be) to the hero- no difference in signal that I can tell. I'm in the middle of nowhere in a thick house, so it's very much a matter of picking the right spot. Nonetheless, there's certainly no fault with my hero.

Yeah, but is it a SIM free one you bought or did you get a t-mobile/orange one unlocked after you got it?

As most of this is regarding orange, i get the feeling it could be the orange devices....

I've also a poor signal when using 3G

I received my HTC Hero on thursday. I have some trouble getting a stable 3G / HSPA connection with my local providers over here in Germany (tested with E-Plus and O2). It falls back to EDGE or even GPRS quite often although my old Nokia E51 has a strong stable signal (all 6 of 6 bars for signal quality). Seems to be only a problem when I'm indoor.

I contacted the german HTC support via email describing my problem and asked for known issues. They recommended me to send my unit back to my vendor to get a new one.

I will contact my vendor and try an exchange. I bought it online in UK, so an exchange will take some time I'm afraid. Will give feedback after the exchange here.
