In my head, it would ideally be a seperate way of opening/writing text/email to save battery life when not needed, and would probably be a video/camera image behind, with a semi transparent overlay/greyed out area where message text was typed to enable the text to be readable.

Will try out that diamond bug/fake

gmm 3.2.0 cab

I don't know why google makes it such a pain in the balls to get gmm cabs but here it is.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bbonzz:
thanks mate
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Old faithful:
the link is dead...

never mind, it worked a couple of minutes later...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TechnoHippie:
ya the link on their website for it isn't working.

Anyway it's nice they updated it with the new features.

Now if they would just give us lowly windows-mobile users that google-voice app that they released for everyone else.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
Sweet!

Having traffic accident info is EXACTLY what I have been hoping for.

Good F'n job Google!

Now if they can just integrate weather updates based on cell tower/gps location it would be brushing up against perfect. :p

(And yes I know Live Search/Bing already does this.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] braulioleonardo:
don't work on Diamond2???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ace10134:
You installed to Memory Card, right?

As the website said, you have to uninstall, delete any files in the Program Files/ folder for Google Maps, and then restart your phone, and then re-install.

I hate Google's impossible links. Annoyingggg.

Can always count on you to deliver the goods when the manufacturer can only provide a 404.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] d0ugie:
You know das' right my man, I deliver! Can't claim I've got the fastest connection in the world (dsl...) but my server's had 100% uptime since I flipped the switch on for blownfuze back in december.

In google's defense you don't want to be giving out your new hot software to people unless you're sure you're giving them the right version for their phone's OS and with all these different browsers for all phones and I guess it's getting hard to tell what kind of phone they've got based on their http user agent. Almost everybody who uses winmo phones are not like us, don't flash new roms of new builds of different winmo releases, don't use leaked betas of browsers... still, why not let people download from their computer like everyone else who distributes software. For example, here's a user agent that just hit my server log:

"Opera/9.50 (J2ME/MIDP; Opera Mini/4.2.13216/574; U; en)"

Hard to tell which OS that guy's running and google doesn't want to release crappy java versions of gmm anymore.

Doug
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hilaireg:
I hear ya.

Via devices ... makes total sense.

Via PC however, which is the only way I download CAB's, Google could save themselves tons of issues by following the lead of other manufacturers ...

Drop-Down List 1: Device (or O/S)

Drop-Down List 2: Language of GMM to download

Button: Download

... done. It's simple and requires no complex auto-detection, just a PC user who can read.

At least that's how it's done, I'm told, on Omicron Persei 8.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bendezium:
Hey everyone,

I'm very new to all this and am afraid I may be in over my head. I got a little antsy waiting for cupcake so I installed JesusFreak's build way back when and it worked perfectly. Now I'm interested in Sense UI and was trying to install a build of that but everything went wrong when the phone rebooted after the SPL installation.

I can still hold Home + Power to access that menu or Camera + Power to access fastboot, but one problem is I don't have a backup. JesusFreak removed the backup utility in the build I was using. I figured there was no point in changing builds to create a backup since I'd lose all my information anyway.

I tried to wipe the phone and install Cyanogen's "pimped out recovery image with new features", but after that it still freezes at the G1 logo. All I can do to break the freeze is remove the battery.

This is an early model phone. It was shipped and at my doorstep on launch day.

Can anyone out there help me out here and get my phone back to a working state?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bendezium:
Just wanted to say I decided not to install this Hero Rom, and went with Cyanogen instead. I just flashed the rom in recovery mode and it's working alright now.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
Hey guys,

I'm currently using my T-Mobile branded German Xperia with following Roms and Radios. Rom ver. is 1.02.111.7 from 9/17/08 (oviously R1A) while my radio is ver. 1.06.25.29.

I never flashed because of two reasons!

First of all everthing works fine on my phone. It is not too buggy and not too slow either. With MS 3.0 it's a pleasure!

Second I don't bother making backups for a little update like R2A or R3A is.

Now - I'm a little unhappy with my reception but couldn't that be because of the network (operator) I'm using? I just read that with R2A (R3A) reception has improved. Is that correct? Is it for sure that with new radio reception is better?

If so, is there a way to just change radio? Or does changing radio means data loss as well? Because I don't really like the idea of flashing since I brikked a 500$ phone once and lost my warranty. Do I lose my warranty flashing only the radio (if that is possible?).

Thanks for your time guys!

Kon
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
If you just flash the radio you wouldn't lose anything. the rom and all your files will be there. so go on and update youre radio. i'm using 1.14 and i'm happy with it, reception got better for me also.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerskincanoe:
using 1.16 AND IT'S AMAZING improvement over previous radio's .. in my case batt life is better and reception is MUCH better indeed. give it a try.. u can always flash ur radio back to what u had ..
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
I'm gonna try it. Thank you guys for your quick answers!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fards:
Where has the 1.16 radio come from?

if anyone has the rom can you dump the rilphone to go with it??

I've just hex edited it and stuck it on my HD to test. I've never seen a radio this good..

reception everywhere so far..

but the rilphone to go with it would be fun
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sapphire_pro:
1.16.48.25 is a great radio, also for Germany:)

Using it with O2 without any problems:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
here is the thread about radio 1.16 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532249 you can find the rilphone there also

but some people had problems with the rilphone. i didn't try it yet. but i didn't see any 1.15 radio
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bug666:
Is there any known way to activate the phone by wifi or by using the computer?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WebghostDK:
This might be a silly question but.... Activate? Activate what?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bug666:
well i mean setting up your phone at the start with your google account.

The g1 and mytouch 3g require you have a data plan to activate your phone (login or create a google account) and require people to keep the plan for the duration of their contract.

There have been a few ways to work around this for a g1 to activate your phone via wifi.

You have to connect to your computer open adb and enter some code so the wifi option will show up and you can configure your network so you can have a phone with out a data plan.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] minogue:
does the same steps of the g1 apply to this phone?? have you tried it??

havent seen anyone do this to the magic though!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] minogue:
ok.. well i just realize i did this with my phone. lol i grabbed my friends sim card that had a g1 data plan. went through the set up and then i just swicthed sim cards....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bug666:
thats what i'm asking

which phone do you have?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] minogue:
i have an HTC Magic, so give it a try, it should work just fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bug666:
i cant really try im in the us...

besides ill wait for hero =]
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] minogue:
Nice. im also getting a Hero myself. I just ordered 5 of these from a Distributor.....
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] x9f:
5 heroes? wow
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] minogue:
hahahah. lol im keeping one. it was the only way i could get in really cheap.. and make some profits by selling them..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jgro1976:
How much are you going to sell the Heroes for? My roommate is looking at getting one, and I'd consider it over a 2 year contract extension with my carrier.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ubiquitous_tom:
so anyone with the answer here?

well i know that you can just ask a friend and use his/her sim with data plan to activate your phone but can it be hacked like G1 where we use adb to get into the phone and turn on wifi to get through the activation process

it seems that it's the topic that not many people have touched on. so if anyone with the info on this that would be great because i have no friends who has t-mobile sim with data plan around me at all.. and i'm just staring at a very expensive paperweight right now.. i know i need to have data plan for MyTouch but that is eventually for now i just wanna test it out to see if it like it or not so any help from anyone that would be great! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kylechx:
any update on this topic? i am getting a mytouch through my company no contract or plan and i would like to activate this before getting a plan! any help!?!?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dudikbs:
as i'm going abroad in a few weeks i won't be able to use my 3G connection without selling a kidney..

what i'm looking for is an application that will search for free wlan on regular intervals and notify me when he finds one (after verifying that it is indeed free, pinging an address or something). that way i can walk around a big mall and when i walk by a free wLAN i will stop to check my mails or make a skype call.

anyone knows of such a software ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nunomax:
you can try wifimonster. don't think it will search at regular intervals, but the rest fit what you need.

Totally agreed. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] ARAN:
The next Xperia even if it dont has a good design is a hardware upgrade of x1 with a lot of nice stuff like tv out, bigger screen accelleration sensor and so on.

It looks like also that it will have the same cpu like the x1 and that mean that we can run every XPERIA X1 ROM also on the next XPERIA Phone. For sure it would be also cheaper and would have a better quallity as we know it from se.

I dont know exactly why people say such bad things about the next xperia.

It looks like they dont understand some things.

If i had to buy a new phone the new Xperia and not the old Xperia would be one of my first choices.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diceman4:
No there isn't.

They seem to have fixed the SMS issue in the newer builds. Try JACHero 2.7.3, As far as I can tell this issue has already been over and done. Try Searching.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Yup, flash is hero only. Some people have been using services to forward texts the gmail, so you could look that up, hardly ideal though.

Btw, this is Q&A, it has nothing to do with development *sigh*
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolimit78:
Well for now, Hero is the only rom that has flash support. But Adobe said October flash should be available for Android..

http://androidguys.com/?p=5757

About the SMS Issues with the Hero Roms: If you're working with ext2/3 try wiping those, wipe the phone, fixing the partitions (option in Cyan Rec 1.3.1) and then flash the latest JAChero2.7.3 (or 2.7.4 but it's not stable yet) These are steps i've see all over the JAC forum and it seems to work for them. I had a similar problem when flashing from 2.6 to 2.7. 2.6 was working fine but when I flashed to 2.7 thats when the SMS started hapening. I flashed a couple times and that worked for me. :cool:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bagpuss:
Okay, my first thoughts on the Hero.

Good

------

Hardware is lovely. The unit feels just right in the hand, and graphite colour is great.

Screen is very sharp and has excellent colour.

Sense UI is a huge improvement over stock Android is virtually every way.

HTC E-Mail client is great compared to standard cupcake version.

Browser is very fast, and text wrapping is very effective.

Phone is now unlocked and running on Vodafone (thanks to the folks at unlock-now.com). It detects this, and offers to update all my settings accordingly. Nice.

Bad

----

HTC Smart Dialer doesn't correctly display contacts that only have a company name in them. The numbers show up but with 'unknown' next to them. They display properly in the 'People' application, so it's definitely a HTC bug (I seem to remember the same problem with early versions of this dialer on WM).

GMail client won't let me set a 'reply-to' field. I use GMail for all my e-mail, but use a forwarding service (pobox.com) so want to set my reply to field accordingly. I can get the functionality by using the HTC e-mail client, but then I lose HTML mail capability.

GMail and HTC Mail don't integrate in the mail widget. You can only see accounts configured using HTC Mail.

Flash in browser is very hit and miss. Some simply stuff works, but not much.

Standard calendar application is rubbish. The iPhone is way better here. I guess I'll be looking for a third party alternative.

I'll post more as I discover it.

Bagpuss.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Cool, thanks for the quick update.

When you say the standard calendar is rubbish, can you elaberate more on this? I use the calendar quite a bit and was hoping there would be a widget to show tasks/appointments on my home screen.

Any chance of a video going round the calendar or a good detailed explanation of it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Sorry to ask again, but the reviews say that the phone WILL sync directly with Outlook (not just exchange) and I have ordered one on that understanding. Could you confirm this for me, please? Ta...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bagpuss:
Sorry, don't know about this as I don't use Windows or Outlook.

From what I understand, you can sync with Outlook, but you need to use the HTC Sync software. The only problem is that HTC haven't yet made the Hero version available for download. If you go to their support site, they don't have a section for the Hero yet. I'm guessing this will change once the phone is officially released SIM free.

Bagpuss.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Bagpuss:
The main problem is that you can't get a month view, and be able to move across days to see what they actually contain. On my E71, you see the month calendar on the left, and a small pane on the right which changes to show the events for each day. On the iPhone, you get something similar, but see the details at the bottom of the screen. On the Hero, you get a full screen month display, but have to click on individual days to see the detail. Not a big thing for some, but it's a change to what I like.

You can go to what they call 'Agenda' view which gives you a long list of all upcoming appointments, but you can't get a week view. There is a day view, however.

There is a calendar widget, and it does show today and tomorrow details, but it's very small.

Hope that helps,

Bagpuss.
