[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shady313:
Now I made to a 23017-21928 hybrid, with my own customizations (i just cook for myself, because i think the other people doesnt like what i do for example: i delete Internet Explorer, i dont need m2d and these stuffs like this (i use ibrythill's WM7 with music, phone, clock, test, windows live and weather widgets)) If you think, i'll upload my beta version (with some bug, because ive got some problems with my oem and i extended it, so i started it from 0). I'll try to make it faster with more free memory.

I think I upload it tomorrow, now i go to sleep.

If someone will be intrested in my rom, i can upload that in some other localization, but i dont have much time.

Bye
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] graza1:
Keep it up.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ashwaa:
keep it up wating and how do u remove the m2d
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shady313:
I dont remove that, I just dont include in the rom OEM :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ashwaa:
i have 23016 nbh with m2d

i use hypercore to dump rom

after ddumping which files should be rmoved or tell me ur way of editing this nbh file
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shady313:
I think you cannot edit the dumped rom, because its protected, so it doesnt make packages what you can remove. These nbhs doesnt include the dsm files, because the storage (and program???) memory. You can make packages only by dsm files.

I never remake others' rom because these inculde what i dont need and it doesnt include what i need. - So with lot of learn you can make your own customized, ported rom. (ervius visual kitchen can help you). I learnt everything by myself, over google, just need some time (maybe some sleepless day :) ).

In one word: don't dump the nbh files, because you cannot :) You have to port a xip/sys and if you want, modify rgus, provxmls, muis, initflashfiles and others to make it comfortable.

Sorry for my English.

My rom is coming soon :)
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ashwaa:
thanks for the quick answer
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Shady313:

Dear shady how did you solve the wi-fi problem? i have the same problem unless i use 34409 SYS/XIP (which i hate :P)
[Touch HD General] Eufeion:
Hay guys,

I've run into a stranage problem. Now I produce music an Ive since put tracks on my phone an clips to make ringtones no prob all good.

Today I decided to make an MP3 Clip for a ringtone of one of the new promos I got set. The original MP3 was 44,100 Hz, 16bit at 320kb. Did the clip at the same setting (same as all my others) but....

when It plays back it sound hollow, like in a tin can - all other mp3s sound fine via the main speaker. Ive tryed dropping the vol of the mp3 in general before saving the file, dropping it to a 128K MP3 & also saving it as a WAV but the same problem.

Any ideas why it sounds this way & none of the others?

Im on the factory rom

Thanks

The great thing about the Hero is the cool widgets and the Facebook/contacts intergration. Not all of these widgets and features are compatable with Vodafone UK. Also many have commentend about the gap between the screen and the casing. I asked HTC about these two issuse. Here's the response:

New Response From [ Pete (Europe Support (Tech)) ]

I am afraid that the vodafone rep is wrong about not blocking ports. everyone using the Hero on vodafone UK is reporting the same issues with the widgets so they do indeed have other ports blocked. in fact i know for a fact that there are more than just that port blocked as they also block the common VPN ports, the WAP ports and certain others to prevent things like MSN...

as for the screen issue, i have heard of a couple of other people that have this, and it seems that the seal may not have fitted correctly. That would be best to send it back, or i am sure that we could fix it later as well.

best regards,

HTC Europe Support
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
What are we going do now about the Vodafone issue? I might call Vodafone and ask them.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
I spoke to them, they don't recognise it as an issue. They'll probably say its not a supported handset so bog off. Give it a try though Mansn you never know. Tip for ya, when you call 191 select the option for blackberry. That'll get you through to the propper geeky techs with beards and all! Any other option and you'll end up talking to a Pat or Maureen who will struggle to understand what the heck you're on about.

If these things don't work then there is no point in even owning a Hero. Might as well by a Magic for half the price.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
I just called 191. Where is the crackberry option?

1. Balance, Bills, PUK code

2. Lost stolen, making and receiving calls

3. Help with broadband and landlines

4. Less than 7 days, want to return it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
I was told by the last guy i spoke to to select the blackbury option. You're right, there isn't an option. Anyway, just got through to a Maureen who has put me in the que for a tech dept.. 20 minute delay apparently.. Maureen did say "that phone is not supported, we can't help you"

I think the only way round it would be another VPN from Voda to bypass the blocks. O2 do that for getting round the data compression.

Will they provide an alternative APN so we can use the Hero to its full potential? might find out in 18 minutes........ TBC
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Just spoke to the beards at Voda.

They have contridicted the HTC comments and say they do not block ports. Bottom line "this is not a supported handset. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"

I've discovered a half work around. The default APN is "internet" with username web password web.

Change this to APN wap.vodafone.co.uk (overwrite the word internet)

password wap, username wap.

Now the facebook and flickr pages load. All is good apart from the twitter app. That still doesn't work. I've found the internet speeds so much faster. On the internet APN I got half a meg, now on wap.vodafone.co.uk i'm now getting nearly 2 meg! Both APNs use the inclusive 500mb BTW.

so.. we're getting somewhere, just gotta sort twitter, there are other widgets on the market place which do work in the meantime.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
that's nice of them.

Basically "you didn't buy it from us, bugger off!!"

i suppose that they may have changed things, but when i used to work for them, they definitely blocked some ports on the internet APN. 500 and 9201/9202 were definitely blocked at least, and port 80 was blocked on the business VPN access point!

And besides, if you can connect over Wifi but not on the Vodafone APNs then it just proves that they ARE blocking ports and they just haven't got the guts to admit it.

at least with T-Mobile they only block ports through their proxy...turn the proxy off and all is open!

Damn glad i chose to stay with t-mobile and not change to vodafone!

and yikes, everything even works on Three!! come on Vodafone, have the guts to admit it or just open the damn ports up!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] The Jones:
Why are any of these things not using standard HTTP over port 80?

I may be forced to move to Vodafone through work. What exactly is going to stop working?

As an aside, how is their 3g network compared to O2?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Hi. Where do I find these settings, please? Is there any risk to changing the settings? Thank you! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] legobloke:
Hey. Having the same problem with Vodafone too, but seems as though it's just Twitter that's being the bugger with me, facebook & flickr have been fine so far.

I have tried various other Twitter widgets from market place but they either won't refresh tweets or I can't update my tweets. Is there one you would recommend that hopefully does both so I dont have to have 2 Twitter widgets running??

Thanks!

Ant!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
There is no risk at all, you can change it back. from the home screen menu>settings>Access Point Names>Vodafone Post-Pay ISP (or pre-pay depeding on what you got> change the NAME, USERNAME and PASSWORD fields.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
I have done that - thank you. Does this now mean that my Facebook shortcut will show the latest update when I click on it, or is there something more that it will do? (Sorry to be a doofus!) :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Not sure what you mean about facebook short cut? This should now let you view facebook anf Flickr photos in the People app. Give it a try..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Blimey. Done that and now I have the thousand or so Facebook friends in the phone too! *Blinks* It's going to make scrolling through a bit of a 'mare - especially as the 'scroll down by letter' thing on the right of the screen is so difficult to operate... :o

EDIT: Most of the new Facebook contacts aren't showing the photo. Do I need to do each of these individually, or is there a way of doing them all at once?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
Ok, maybe I am being thick, but I got a HTC Hero today on a Vodafone pay monthly tariff with unlimited internet (ok 500Mb)

The internet wont work at all though.

Can anyone post the full list of their working connection details please?

Thanks

Zippyioa
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Apn name = wap.vodafone.co.uk

User name = wap

Password = wap
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
I just tried the wap settings, and the internet is now loads faster! That's great! However ****ter still doesn't work, and facebook sort of works, but not quite ... very strange!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
Thanks for the help. Internets working now!

SMS won't send though. I have spent ages looking for the settings page but can't find it.

Anyone know where the message centre number is so I can check its right for Vodafone?

Cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
It seems as though Vodafone is doing something about the issue. A post on androidforums from mobiles.co.uk seems to indicate this:

In the old days the only way around port blocking was to use a VPN on a nonstandard port at home. Then VPN to that to use your home connection.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
you dial *#*#4636#*#* (it should spell *#*#INFO#*#*)

it'll be in there somewhere, usually down the bottom.

tap refresh to see the one in use, and update to save any change
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
Thanks for the reply, but it suddenly started working.

I had tried to send a text to multiple people (around 40) but they all seemed to bounce back saying unable to deliver, or something like that!

This lead me to think that the SMS centre number might be wrong, but I sent a text to 1 person and it sent ok.

Vodafone still dont seem to want to send me any delivery reports or read receipts for my SMS messages though..... I have ticked the boxes, but nothing comes back!?

Oh well, at least I have a Hero on Vodafone so I can actually use it, unlike my G2 Touch which seemed to lack signal wherever i went!

I got my white, sim-free Hero this morning and have not been able to use the internet or internet based apps without wi-fi.

I've tried changing the APN details to the ones listed but it didn't work at all. When I tried to create a new APN with the custom details i got through, pressed 'save' and the new APN didn't even appear in the choices - it failed to create.

I'm really chuffed with this device but this debacle with Vodafone has been the equivalent of someone putting sand in my anusol, I'm not impressed!

Can anyone help?

Cheers :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
I would suggest that you contact Vodafone to check the following:

1. They set you up as a contract customer (my issue above was because they put me on PAYG incorrectly!!)

2. They have enabled data on your tarriff (the 2nd issue I had with them!)

3. Once the above are ok delete all existing mobile internet settings, reboot your phone and it should pick up the correct ones (well thats what mine did!)

Hope this helps, but feel free to ask if you need more advice.

Cheers

Zippyioa
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tone-Fu:
Thanks for the help mate - followed your instructions and still haven't been able to get the thing to work.

I've been onto Vodafone a couple of times and have had varying levels of success. The first time I was given the settings for a Touch Diamond 2!

I've just been onto them again and have just finished setting up the settings as per the Vodafone 'handbook' and nothing works, at all.

So it's the usual sterling service from Vodafone!

-EDIT-

I've had (some) success!

Here are the settings I personally used:

1. Press the Menu button

2. Tap Settings

3. Tap Wireless Controls

4. Tap Mobile Networks

5. Tap Access Point Names

6. Press the Menu key

7. Tap New APN

8. Tap Name and enter a name e.g. Vodafone WAP and tap OK

9. Tap APN and enter

for Pay monthly customers: wap.vodafone.co.uk

for Pay as you go customers: pp.vodafone.co.uk

10. Tap Username and enter wap and tap OK

11. Tap Password and enter wap and tap OK

12. Tap MMSC and enter http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms and tap OK

13. Tap MMS Proxy and enter 212.183.137.012 and tap OK

14. Tap MMS Port and enter 8799 and tap OK

15. Tap MCC and enter 234 and tap OK

16. Tap MNC and enter15 and tap OK

17. Press the Menu key

18. Press Save

Once I had input those settings, I turned the phone off and on again, then turned the 'Mobile Network' off and on again in Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile Network (un-tick, wait 5 seconds, then re-tick) The native Twitter app still won't work though, I'm going to give an alternate app a whirl and see how I get on with that.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
I hope it works! I had many issues with setup and Vodafone, but its working now.

The Twitter app doesn't work on mine either, I believe its a Vodafone issue possibly caused by blocked ports as it works on my home WiFi connection.

I would try Browser instead and go to Google, do a search for something e.g. "Test" and see if that works.

Keep us posted.

Zippyioa
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tone-Fu:
Success! Browsing fine, the speed isn't blistering but it's okay.

I downloaded Twidroid 2.2.0 from the marketplace and it connected and appears to work fine. HTC Peep (the native client) works for me for updating now if I use the minimal widget, haven't tried the full one.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
Good news. I am glad you got it sorted out.

I still cant get the Twitter Widget to work (not that I would use it much).

The link between Facebook and my contacts in "People" also seems to work on WiFi, but not using Vodafone.

Oh well, most of it works, so I am happy really

[Hero, G2 Touch General] pjwilson:
Thanks for this suggestion - very helpful... I can now get on the Vodafone Live! site at http://live.vodafone.co.uk (which I couldn't before) but all I see are a set of pictures linking to other websites... often clicking on these links does not work. Anyone know where the Vodafone Live! I loved from my very old SE w810i might be (and how to get on it)... I used to really like getting the Sports scores from there!

I hadn't realised that I was having vodafone/twitter problems until I read this thread!

I've only tweeted over wifi and had no problems but I turned off wifi and hey presto, no twitter!

Twidroid works on the 'new' settings -as does the mini twitter widget, albeit with an error message. But no joy with the big widget...

On the original settings, big-widget sends my tweets but gets an 'unknown response' error from server, Twidroid updates just fine.

And to think I never knew there was a problem....

How Severe are the Vodafone Problems

Hi there

How severe are these problems with widgets on Vodafone? Enough to steer clear? Does it only affect the Twitter app?

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tone-Fu:
They aren't terribly severe. With a little patience you can be up and running in no time. For me it was literally only HTC Peep that's the issue, but even that's started working now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ukm700user:
Did you manage to get HTC peep working with Vodafone 3G then as I still get the error message.

The wifi @ work is blocked from accessing twitter so 3g my only choice as like the look of peep over everything else.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
Nope, Twitter/Peep still won't work with Vodafone 3G, only WiFi.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tone-Fu:
I get an on/off thing with Peep. Sometimes it will allow me to Tweet but won't synch with other peoples largely over 3G it's a dud though, with Voda.

@ukm700user - Try Twidroid, it works like a charm over the network.

Back to stock rom

I decided to go back to the stock rom for the time being as it seems to work best for me, so no HTC peep am using TwitterRide and Twidgit Lite for homescreen

Hi

Thanks for the info ref Heros, Facebook and vodafone!

Ive changed my APN to wap.vodafone.co.uk and now yes I can view Facebook pics.

A (possibly) silly question. Will the internet useage continue to come from my incllusive Mb or is there any possibility of a nasty bill?

B
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zippyioa:
Should come from inclusive, as mine does.

You could always call 191 in a few days and check your remaining allowance. Voda send you a text showing unbilled cost. Usage can take several days to appear though.

Also register on Vodafone.com to see itemised billing. Then you will see a breakdown of your mb used and any costs charged.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mitheor:
I had the french rom 2.8

I´ve updated to recovery RAv1.2.0 ... everything works ok.

Reloaded the phone. Entered at new recovery. Format SD Card (3 partitions) and wipe.

Reload the phone ... it stucks at Vodafone red splash screen.

Reloaded the phone. Entered at new recovery. Format SD Card (1 Fat32 particion). Wipe again.

Same problem. Stucks at Vodafone screen.

I can enter at recovery and fastboot.

In fastboot mode my PC doesn´t recognise this device. Drivers are correctly installed but i´ve tried to reinstall it anyway. But it doesn´t work. PC beeps in the way it does when a usb device is plugged but thats all.

What can i do? Any idea?

I think about trying to put the sd in the PC (now i cant but maybe later) and put a new rom update.zip and try to flash it ...

Please help me
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NguyenHuu:
i think you wiped one time too many. usually you wipe first, then flash a new rom. wipe erases stuff on your internal memory. only wipe before you flash, not after you flash. it seems you wiped after your installed the new recovery and formated the SD which is not needed and may be the problem.

so yeah try reloading the rom. put your sdcard into a usb reader and transfer the rom to your card. put card back into the phone. reboot into recovery and update.zip flash it. that should work. as long as you can get into recovery theres always a way to fix, not bricked.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mitheor:
Ok, thanks a lot. I´ll try that and post the results after that :)

http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials...+Minibook+V2+with+Windows+CE+?productId=36193

Since getting my Himalaya and Hermes' PDAs I've obviously gotten the flashing bug...

Anybody have any idea what the generic name of these minibooks are, and if there's any info on flashing them upto CE6.0, installing all the apps we know and love on our PDAs etc (pocketOffice, tsc, etc) - or even replacing CE altogether with linux

At that price I'm pondering buying one just to mess about with it, but only if I can mess with it in a geeky way!

most normal windows mobile apps should work

not sure about ce6 and working windows mobile apps

as no windows mobile out today use ce6

about linux then problem is always drivers when it comes to linux

few hardware manufactures are too helpful with open-source drivers

and linux programs have to reverse eng the drivers which takes a lot! of time
[Off-topic] FireW0lf:
Thanks Rudegar

I know the CE/WM APIs are subtly different, but in general the CE API is actually more feature rich than the WM one

Now all I need is to find one of those button USB BlueTooth dongles that comes with a CE driver, and this could be a seriously fun toy to add to my collection!
