[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellopr:
Hi there :

I am sorry if this question have being discuss already, but I did search in the Q&A area and haven't found a solution.

I am using drizzy 2.7 Hero and waiting for 2.9 to upgrade. My problem and I am sure of many others, is that I would like to make the upgrade and will like be able to get back all the setting I have put in the phone. For example the scene (wallpaper, witgets), location info, settings for keyboard, emails, spelling, wifi settings and passwords, etc. I am using Backup for Root Users, but still I don't get most of the settings back when I do the restore. For example my yahoo email settings don't get back to the mail application. It does get my sms back and the applications but still I need to put so many settings back that is tedious. I am sure you are wondering why I put so much work if I am going to upgrade 2 or 3 days later. But where is the fun of using a new rom if you don't play with it and make it work like you want it too.

I think that the problem maybe that Backup for Root Users is meant for cupcake and not hero. So it doesn't backup all that is necessary. Anyone has a better method or script that will apply specifically for the Hero roms.

Thanks in advance.:D

My Backup Pro works pretty well for backup up settings. I used it for hero and it worked perfectly. There's a free 30 day trial version. The paid one well you have to pay for :D

Hi there.

I did search for it but there is no My Backup Pro, at least not anymore. There is MyBackup wish I guess is the same one renamed.

Downloading !

Thanks for the info! :)

When I first got my TP2 the HTC Touch Input keyboard would always pop up. Something happened over the weekend and now I can't switch the input method back to "Touch Input".

No matter how many times I select touch input and restart it defaults automatically back to "keyboard" input.

Any suggestions?

I hail from Karnataka, India and I own an HTC P3350 since 8 months. There is a problem with GPRS for HTC in India (some compatibility issue between HTC and network providers in India, I heard.) The GPRS never works but yet i get charged for the kb i download and it even shows up on the SPB GPRS Monitor. That's really ridiculous.

Does anyone else face the same problem? Or is it just a problem with my handset? If its a common prob, does anyone have any solution to it??

Would appreciate any inputs..

Thanks in advance..
[General Topics] fallenczar:
You "Heard" wrong.

it would be best if you would describe your problem in detail.
[General Topics] alphaditya:
My exact simple problem is that the GPRS just wont connect. When i start something like internet explorer, it attempts to connect and ends up with the error message 'Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.' I tapped Settings and tapped everything i could! But the result is the same.IT NEVER CONNECTS!

My network is Vodafone. I tried searching xda forums and came up with these threads -

Everyone seems to be having the same problem but the solutions offered are only for Airtel Live. I have Vodafone. Can you suggest some settings/reg changes/ANYTHING to make GPRS work on my cell phone. I tried changing the portal name, etc which was mentioned in above linked threads. But none were for any use.

Would appreciate any insight...
[General Topics] fallenczar:
Sorry, But you have failed to mention Which WM version you are on.

i'll Assume you are on 6.0 and above and try to help you.

You will have to follow the steps in the Airtel Live Thread to Configure your settings.

(Proxy Setting)

IMPORTANT- After you configure your proxy settings you will NOT be able to use Internet through WIFI untill you delete the Proxy Server.

In Settings > Connection > Advanced Setting you will see an option similar to "When an application request to connect to internet, use this" change it to the second option, after this you might have to reconfigure your "Vodafone GPRS" Settings. (Sorry for being so vague, but i dont use my WinMo phone anymore, however these are the Settings i needed to change to Use GPRS on it.

Even after doing this, not all applications will work.

Poke around, and if you are still getting stuck somewhere, i'll charge my phone and give you the exact procedure.

I've been messing with SyncMyCalMobile, trial version (3 day sync limitation) today and so far functionality-wise it looks good.

However, any event I create on Google Calendar are +12.5 hours on my phone! I have a recurring event for 10am on Monday, when it gets to my phone it's at 10:30pm.

If it were -/+ 5 hours (I'm -5GMT) I could somewhat understand it. But 12.5 hours!?

Anyone else have experience in this regard?

BTW, I can't get it to upload any of my EXISTING meetings, it bails saying an event can't have both when and recurring or something, some stupid error message in the error log. So I'm trying to set up meetings in Google first, then sync them down. Meh.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sp3dev:
Ok, here's what the thread is about. A couple of Asus devices, including (but, hey, not limited to;) P525 and P535 have the nowadays-rare bluetooth stack from Widcomm by default. I suggest we make a unified thread to collect all available ported versions of widcomm bluetooth stacks from other devices (like Zinc or HTC Mega). I guess the right way to do will be to post a brief description of each upgrade, its pros and cons, the name of the source device and, certainly, the link to the package

Ok, I start.

A port from HTC Mega, Widcomm version 1.9.0.5400

Pros

1. AADP works (I have verified it)

2. File Transfer works

3. Control Panel applet - works

4. Wireless Manager now handles it correctly (unlike the vanilla one which fails to turn on if turned off from widcomm)

5. Support for bluetooth in J2ME (if using HTC Mega Jblend package)

What's bad?

1. No tray icon

I have not tested SAP (Sim Access Profile),BT Headset, BT Printing, Object Transfer and so on. But they should work ok, I guess. If not - fix it.

The archive contains the OEM packages to be added to rom. Actually, only those files you need to replace in OEM packages. The OEMMisc holds the needed registry entries. To reconstruct full OEMDrivers and OEMMisc packages, copy files from the Merge\OEMDrivers and Merge\OEMMisc directory to the original folders, respectively. Also, copy the contents of rgu in Merge\OEMMisc to the rgu in the top-level OEMMisc folder. You'll have the same OEM I use on my PDA.

Important I have missed a tiny bit of my magic while uploading the packages. For BT to turn on and be controllable from wireless manager, apply the fix (especially the first entry. By default the port number is wrong and won't work at all)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\SerialTransport]

"Port"=dword:00000002

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\BluetoothRadioOffOverride]

"DLLName"="wbtapice.dll"

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebladeboy:
Hi All,

I've recently disassembled and re-assembled my X1. It's working fine EXCEPT that Wifi, GPS and Bluetooth ALL have diminished signal strength. Phone reception is fine. I know where the Phone antenna is but can't find and description of the other antenna and they're clearly separate. Does anyone know?

Many thanks,

Ken
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achmed20:
im pertty sure there is none for wifi, gps and bluetooth.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebladeboy:
....

Hmmm...I think it does because in the text for the Dismantle video on YouTube it lists it....

Disassembly

- Rear Unit

- Battery Cover

- Battery

- Stylus

- Antenna Cover

- Main Antenna

- Screw Caps

- Rear Bottom Housing

- BT & GPS Antenna

- Main Board

- FPC QWERTY Keyboard

- Keypad QWERTY

- Keypad Cover
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -mattx-:
I remember disassembling my SE w800 and subsequently, w810 a long time back and while this may or may not help, the signal strength was weakened when I did not screw back the housing together tightly. It seems like the more the metal components of the board and hardware were tightly screwed, the whole phone's body (at least the metal parts) as a whole would act as an antenna, and not just the antenna itself per se.

Just from my xp and 2cs...
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebladeboy:
Aha!!

OK, I found the answer. The Antenna is located in a block surrounding the Camera. There are sprung metal contacts which in my case were probably not contacting where they needed to. I cleaned them and re-bent them to provide a better contact and now my Wi Fi and GPS are back to normal.

Yay!

Thanks to all who read and tried to help!

Yes you can use active sync with wm5, wm6, wm6.1 or wm6.5

what made you think ms would make a proprietary program not compatable

Hello! I had sUC running on my fresh installed ROM, and now I'm facing never-seen-before issues. I mean, I cannot connect my PPC in activesync (the computer simply doesn't recognize the phone) while I can do that in USB Storage mode. Moreover, I can't open the Activesync program anymore on my PPC (it tries to open up but it immediately shuts down) and I can't even synch contacts, sms's and appointments via Microsoft MyPhone, as this is reporting an Exchange Server connection as active, though I never set it! Was it maybe some of sUC regentries? How can I undo that? I'm on a WM6.5 Italian ROM for Diamond, and I'd really like to have my contacts back! :D

Hello fellow guinea pigs !

I've been waiting ages for thgis phone and i'm preparred to work through the issues rather than send it back. I've noticed it has a few more bugs than my garden shed. Maybe we can list them and togerther suss out if we can overcome them.

1. Won't update/seach or tweet via the twitter app, autocollect email or load facebook pages via 3G. Works fine via wifi though. Updates weather and internet browing is fine on both though.

UPDATE works fine with a T-Mobile sim. Must be a Vodafone issue.

2. Can only update lockscreen background from YOURE pictures, not the HTC background folder. Despite the default being from the HTC File.

there was another, forgot, i'll come back. i've got a few bugs too!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] maikie:
What version of android are you running?

Mine has none of thos bugs all the problem you said are working fine for me.

I don't know if this is correct but my software version is: 1.0.0.A6288 (if that makes sense)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
1. No IMAP folder prefix option in mail - well none that I can find!

2. All the custom bookmarks I save are saved with a zoomed in screenshot so they all look stupid on the thumbnail view.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] veejayjameson:
How's everyone's "people" facebook integration?

It has the potential to be so amazing and yet at the moment it seems to be a bit on and off. Just had a scare after sync 100+ contacts doing the "link facebook profile" as all the pictures disappeared.

When you click update I not really sure what it does but it takes forever!

Hopefully fixed by software updates :S?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
I know it has a few problems right now, but give the phone a chance, HTC are working on a lot of the initial bugs and I'm sure they'll provide a software update to resolve these issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hairy bum:
biggest prob ive found is when on a call the screen goes black :eek:

now wot button do you press to wake the phone up ? oh the ------- yep you got it no more phone call :mad: so how do you wake up the screen while on a call ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] [jon]:
Yeah the disappearing Facebook pictures is really annoying, they disappear in batches though... Each picture persists for about 24 hours before disappearing... Very weird behaviour. You can then re-add them by editing the contact and reapplying their picture "from facebook".

I will be REALLY peeved if they don't fix this in an update... (and soon!!) -- can we just try and determine exactly how many people are experiencing this issue (i.e. is it everyone?) -- and is it just me or does the People list scroll really poorly...? Very jerky, not at all smooth like some of the other lists.

And to add to your bugs -- I have found the "manage applications" to take AGES to load (much of the time) i.e. longest is in excess of 30 seconds, quickest is 3-4 seconds, not quite sure why, as my brother has a Magic and it loads in ~2 secs every time...

One annoyance: When looking through facebook photos via "Albums" you can do anything other than share a link via email, having a save as or set as button would be awesome!

Pressing and holding the home button to bring up the list of running programs removes the home button association to the senseUI. When you next press the home button it asks whether you want touchflo3d or standard android home.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
Found another problem with the HTC mail app...

1. Regardless of what username I put in the smtp setup screen, after it validates the settings it changes the username to my pop username and password so I can't send email - baring in mind I get no sort of error messages very poor!

My word does the mail app need some more time in the oven, considering its just based of the standard Google e-mail app which has none of these setup problems. All they seem to have done is make - let's face it - an already poor app worse!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] veejayjameson:
yer me neither. I didn't know you could hold down home to view that though. Is a good addition! and can always keep Taskiller running so easy to properly quit apps.

hopefully the first firmware update will solve all these issues :).

Anyone have the issue where on the homescreen, with the HTC music and calender widget, whenever i paused on a particular screen with them on, the white text would be there for about 2 seconds, then disappear...?

Very odd. Although a soft reset seemed to solve it.

O one more thing, I LOVE the capacitive screen, the keyboard has really been worked on. (would be nice to have a proper " ? ") button though always find myself holding down k to get that which slows down typing time.

Have you ticked the box directly above it called 'Disable auto backlight'?

once this is ticked, you should be able to manually set the brightness.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Don Vincenzo:
Hmm...interesting that there seem to be such mixed reports of people being either able or unable to replicate this. I am using a white unlocked Hero [Software V 1.0.0.A6288]. If there's no correlation between specific handset (i.e. Orange/TMobile/Unlocked) maybe there's a particular 3rd party app that's triggering this...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
somone in another thread mentioned a task manager?

i think it's the one called just 'task manager' by a developer called Wing Tseng.

two or three other people on that thread had it as well....

UPDATE: just installed it and straight away it started. as soon as i had held the home button to show recent apps, it started showing the bug!

Uninstalled Task Manager 1.7 and it immediately stopped.

Anyone else want to double check just to make sure, but i think the developer needs some comments left for him....

Anyone using the Hero in the USA? I just receivied mine this past Thursday and so far I love it but the lag is annoying from time to time. I am using on AT&T's network and only get edge but it's not too bad at all.

I too am experiencing this problem - it updated 80 of my contacts and all of a sudden, 40mins later, they were gone. Does it not save the pictures to the phone? Would seem sensible to do that rather than have to save them from Google Contacts and then import them?

Also, the most vexing problem for me at the moment - does anyone know how to add your own word to the dictionary when sending a text? I managed to get the word suggestion box to go orange which then had a + sign next to it, presumably allowing me to add the word, but can I for the life of me remember how I made it do that? NO!!! They say on other forums that you hold down the word and it should give you the option to change it but all it does for me is deselects itself and inserts the word I didn't want!!

Any help gratefully received!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] [jon]:
Just tap the word, don't tap & hold, don't press the +... works fine for me - now, how about REMOVING words from the dictionary/resetting the dictionary...?
