[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] priteshpalan:
HI friends,

I have a problem in my HTC Touch Diamond. After installing Nitrogen Player, I am not able to set MP3 as my ringtone. Please tell me how to enable MP3 as a ringtone. Mobile accepts only "wav" & default tones provided by HTC as ringtones. I uninstalled nitrogen & then tried, but no result. I even installed latest Nitrogen player, but i can't find way to set MP3 as my ringtone.

Please help me.

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ArtieQ:
You have to put the mp3 you want in \My ringtones, otherwise it wont pop up in the list if you go to Settings\Telephone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] priteshpalan:
I tried

All my ringtones are in ringtone folder, i can set mp3 as a ringtone but it cant play it. when a incoming call comes, it rings any random file other than mp3.

Hi all,

All my contacts on PC are set with "file as" field set to firstname/lastname.

However, after syncing with Touch HD the contacts here seems to be all sorted by lastname/firstname instead.

How can I correct this in an easy way (have 500+ contacts so impossible to do manually)?

And how can I set the default "file as" to be firstname/lastname on the phone to make sure new contacts entered here are also sorted correctly? On the PC this is easy to do in Outlook but I cannot find similar setting in the phone...

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
I have, but the one I am reading shows an old JF1.41 rom, when I looked at the other roms it says things like only for 36b phones ect..... It's confused me a little because tho I am amature techy I am also extra cautious and dont want to brick my phone.

Would I be ok using CyanogenMod [v3.9.7] && Palm Pre theme [1.8] ported for instance
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I think the reason people are being a bit hostile is because you posted a question in the development section. That may seem OTT but there are some days when the whole first page of the development section is filled up with questions.

Before you flash a cupcake ROM (cyanogen, JF) you will need the new radio. I'm not entirely sure if you can flash that radio on RC7 or whether you will need to install a custom ROM first (like JF's RC9) so if someone could clear that up that would be useful. It can be found here. Copy that to your SD, name it update.zip and flash. Then you can flash a Cyanogen or any other cupcake ROM. That particular ROM you were talking about sounds like it was ported to the HTC Magic/Sapphire. Only flash ROMs from the dream section.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironnius:
Hi mate, I wouldnt flash 3.9.7 if you only just rooted your phone, go with the stable v3.6.8.1 first, then use Nandroid recovery to create a backup. Then worse case scenario you can always restore that image if needed.

There's a good reason 3.9.7 is marked as experimental, and there is alot to learn before attempting any Hero roms etc.

If you get stuck with anything feel free to shoot me a PM Im always around and happy to help.

Long time lurker first time poster btw :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
Thanks guys, I will not post in this section again and sorry to those I have upset, would hve been nice to have been simply told.

Thanks for the help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol4413:
lol that was hard as nails

Wow that was by far the hardest groaned I have ever seen in my few months on xda!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
People are just tired of everybody posting in devolpment when there is a q and a section, and when there are 20 to 30 new threads that have already been discussed, the devolpers get annoyed. Go with the stable version of cyanogen's rom, flash the new radio image and get yourself the hard spl, not the special, if you see warnings, run very far away. Install the s a lifesaver
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innerspace:
ahem...

I wasn't hostile before, attempting to be civil now.

You posted two questions in the development forum. The first was regarding root. There are numerous tutorials available on this forum and even more via a simple google search. I know this because I read them, learned the process inside and out and successfully rooted my phone within the first hour of owning it. So yeah, I made a joke about a hard working mod having to move your thread... no personal attack so whatever.

Your second question was an open ended request for what are basically opinions. There are a number of great custom roms being developed here on XDA and all of them are unique in their own way. Roms like HERO and Cyan's experimental rom are definitely not for newcomers and the threads posted by their developers clearly state the risks involved in attempting to run them. 15 minutes in the dev forum and you could have made an educated decision on your own. One post in Q&A and you would have gotten much friendlier responses but in the end, you'd still have to choose your own adventure.

Let me make one thing clear...

I'm not a dev. I'm an end user who tries to contribute something useful to this forum and learns a whole bunch in the process. I've offered help to many people via PM and replies in threads (as long as the discussion is on-topic) but over time I've come to the realization that simply handing out information instead of forcing you to find it on your own actually does a disservice to not only the forum, but YOU as a user. So hate on us all you want. I think you'll find that following forum rules in the future will make your experience here a happier one, and snarky comments like yours are better left un-submitted.

To answer your question: I started with JF's 1.5 rom and think it was a great way to gain exposure to the world of custom roms and root. A lot has changed since then and things have actually become a lot easier since cyanogen released his recovery image w/ nandroid and tools like switchrom came out. Its now very easy to hop between roms and there are fewer chances you'll screw something up in the process. Personally, I've been sticking with Cyanogen's roms since 3.4.6, and though there have been some bumps in the road I've had very few issues and am currently working with his 3.9 experimental builds.

Hope you get where I'm coming from, good luck to you in the future.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] puckoon:
Bluetooth has been available on mobile phones for almost 10 years

My shiny new Hero which I consider to be an excellent piece of work is pretty useless in this department....file transfers hands free connection etc

If a phone that costs £30 from tescos can do this why cant the £400 quid hero?

Why is android incapable of this extremely basic functionality? Why are android phones on sale at all? the OS is not finished and will not be untill Bluetooth just works.

I have pissed off several friends by recomending this phone pre release assuming that the bluetooth profiles had been fixed on the hero. But if they cant send mates in the pub a photo of a friend falling over or use their hands free kits how can I blame them?

Is there a timescale for adding working bluetooth to android?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
Ask Google. They're the ones that only programmed handsfree profiles in. Apparently it's supposed to be fairly soon.

Also, you know what they say about assuming.....

but yeah, it's a bit of a glaring omission. but then didn't the iphone do exactly the same when it first came out?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
Don't just blame Google tho... Android is open source and the Hero's version is a seperate dev branch to the cupcake 1.5 thats on standard 'Google' phones. I mean they must have fiddled with it anyway as some things that worked on the standard 1.5 build don't work on the Hero.

So HTC are just as much to blame for this... what can we call it... oversight... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
No they are not! The reason that this functionality is not available is because the Bluetooth APIs have not be finalized. Whilst potentially HTC could have added their own, this would have fragmented Android as an OS and this is definitely not the way forward.

Unfortunately, Apple showed that the market will accept reduced functionality in devices, when they shipped the original iPhone.

However, with respect to Google, I fully agree that nearly a year down the line since the G1 was launched, they should've got further than they have with Bluetooth support.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
The Android OS will become fragmented, Android is designed that way it's supposed to be a base on which mobile phone manufactures can build upon. It's also the reason you get "with Google" phones, if you want a pure Android OS those are the phones you buy.

HTC should have seized the opportunity to fix some of the glaring ommisions from Android, epecially considering that there is no indication that any more bluetooth profiles are included in donut.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puckoon:
I say assume, but HTC posted bluetooth profiles on the android community as GAP SPP HSP HFP A2DP and AVRCP profile, so where are they?

I admiit I should have checked for OBEX, I was probably caught up in the hype, and the oooos and arghhs of the reviews, perhaps the reveiwers should have started with..... erm this phone does not work before we parted with our hard earned. Shame on you engadget
[Hero, G2 Touch General] iammorris:
Just get BlueX and use one of the many methods to root the phone, then you'll have full send/receive bluetooth capabilities. It's very easy.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
does bluex actually work on the hero? and is it one of the ones that seems to be hidden on some hero devices?

Didn't know that HTC had put those profiles out there...but if they're just in beta or being tested, then i am sure they'll be here soon.

and besides, the base android build on the hero is the same as on the magic, it's just had a few kernel changes for any hero specific hardware, it's still running 1.5.

i personally knew the device had no obex, and still got it. I suppose it's each to their own really. Millions of people got the iphone and were rabid about how wonderful it was even though it was missing some basic features. i bet hero will have the same kinda people, on both sides of the argument.

i like it and am happy, but am certainly not going to defend the missing features, i just rely on the fact that as i am happy with it as it is, anything extra is a bonus.....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minogue:
I for one have not beeen able to get Bluex to work on Hero neither Root explorer????
[Hero, G2 Touch General] puckoon:
Ok (Grits teeth)

Still love the phone would still buy it (friends probably wont till bluetooth fixed) would have liked a choice on the bluetooth though.

If the reviewers were paying more attention to the bluetooth deficiency I am sure google would be urgently fixing it!

Guess will have to wait. Please dont hesitate to let us all know when you find out they've fixed it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Yes it is - and the bluetooth APIs are part of that base!

Google were very specific about why they chose not to ship Android with broken APIs (see http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/08/some-information-on-apis-removed-in.html ). If HTC had "done their own thing" they too would have been committed to support this for years to come.

As a developer, personally I'd be happy to wait for a single fit-for-purpose API to come to Android, than support a wide variety of vendor-specific extensions.

If Android wants to gain serious traction in the Smartphone market, they need to look at Apple and the iPhone. Here you've a single software and hardware platform which is going to make application development far simpler.

It is ok to build on top of the Android platform (as you said yourself), but if each handset vendor goes about changing the underlying nuts and bolts differently this will adversely affect market acceptance of the platform.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zarboz:
so bluetooth does not work on shipped devices?

it works on the htcmagic hero rom but not on the dream hero rom. hack

i wonder why
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
bluetooth works, but only for headsets.

maybe the magic rom has bluex installed, as i know bluex works on the magic, but not on the hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Hero supports a few more profiles than just headsets.

From the HTC website:

We won't see file transfer or OBEX until Google finalize the bluetooth APIs.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RussST24:
Agree about the file transfer (although its a smartphone so use flikr/twitter)

As for handsfree I am using just fine with my Parrot MKi9200 car kit. Full handsfree and A2DP Stereo support with controls. Full address book sync etc.

So apart from file transfer its got a full set of useful features.

Russ
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ewans:
How did you get the address book to sync, I thought this didn't work, and it doesn't seem to with my Alpine kit. Did you install bluex?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
The Bluetooth kit in my Land Rover Discovery 3 can pull the contacts list off my Hero and also notify me of who is calling in the head unit.

Pretty sure its not been pulled off my Nokia N85 when I used that as there is no storage in the kit as far as I am aware.

Its also just to note - a Nokia kit sourced / OEM'd by Land Rover and is the standard Bluetooth PTI they factory build.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
No, I have the same car kit, it just works as is from the box.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mightycaz:
Hi,

I was a bit confused by this thread and all the bluetooth problems. At the moment I have a Touch Diamond but I am up for an upgrade in the next month so I am looking at either the Diamond 2 or the Hero. I have a Sony BTNX20 stereo BT headset that i use for everything, Will I still be able to use this headset for stereo music on the Hero? Also what video files can it play? Or is there something like Core Player available that will play everything? A bit off topic but i thought id ask since i had a bluetooth question!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
Your BT headset should be fine, as for video play back... well it's poor. And as for Core player it won't be out for long time (if ever!).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
Just to add...

The contacts list on the stereo head unit shows contacts first name, last name and list all numbers for each contact with W, H, M etc...

This is far better than I could ever get with an N95, N82, TD or N85 - three of which are made by the same company that supplies LR with their Bluetooth PTI's :D

They would display only the first number for each contact with no telling which it was (W, H, M) and also last name, first name.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] drsmisk:
and i recommend you to try out a hero first and listen to some music on it, as the sound quality is nowhere near the diamond(that has an EQ). All depends on how important good sound is for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdantuma:
I'm going on an eleven hour flight at the end of the week. I was wondering how long I could watch movies in Flight modus.

Is there something I could do to save power with my TP2.

If I couldn't watch a least one movie, what is a cheap solution to give my TP2 more power? (like an extended battery or something)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] krisez:
get an external USB lithium ion battery, or make your own from a dealextreme.com psp one. you could buy the HTC one, if you have the income of a small democratic nation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] peepster:
Or you could look into getting yourself a Philips Power2Go SCE4430 or SCE7640 . I would guess that the battery would drain pretty fast when watching movies..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] xdadJeroen:
small democratic nation like australia..? or..?:p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Sturzflug:
Well, I frequently watch some episodes of my favorite series on my TP2 and the battery lasts long enough to watch at least 3-4 (30 - 40 minutes each) of them.

Means: You should be able to watch a movie on your device easily.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TheBundo:
Australia is no longer democratic. They took everyone's guns away in the 1990's. There is no democracy with a dis-armed populace.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jdantuma:
Last night I tested the TP2 battery with a movie. After 1.5 hour only 25% of the battery was gone. Thats amazing! This means I can easily watch one movie and maybe more (or some TVserie episodes).

This was in flightmodus btw, so that should do the trick!

No need of an extra battery. Costs a lot of money and I only use it in planes..... a great way of flushing money down the toilet :P.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brynweb:
Similar story with me. I recently watched a 1.5 hour film and used 30% battery, but I wasn't in flight mode. I was impressed.

You should easily get 2 good length movies out of it :cool:

I bought one @ only around 30 USD including shipping, and it arrives very fast!

There's no democracy with democracy. As soon as people realize they can vote themselves someone else's money the death spiral begins.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] AlCapone:
I change battery every ~3 hours of movie (or every second movie) - but it was not becuase it was empty, just becuase I had 5 batteries with me, and wanted to let them be a little charged when done -. (good storage charge is at 50% capacity)

Also the flashing green light is flashing as if to say I have a message when I havn't.
