Aha, thats a question ive been asked before... Is that "why are we doing what we are doing?" or is that "why should you take part and what do you get out of it?"

The projects main plan is to raise public awareness of the sounds around them or their "soundscape". The effect the sonic environment has on it inhabitants is not fully understood and im trying to work out how and why aspects of it affects people in different ways.

By gathering up thousands of soundscape recordings and peoples opinions of them, I can attempt to assess soundscapes in terms of their "Quality". This people based understanding can eventually lead to improved design and planning of future cities and current public spaces in terms of their sound environment.

The data that the public generate will feed directly into my PhD, where I will boil it all down to discover what the determining factors are within a soundscape.

Some more press friendly outcomes may be the opportunity to find out the "best sounding city in the UK or the world" or the loudest or quitest place in the world.

Check out the site @ http://www.soundaroundyou.com and please keep in touch if you want to know anymore.

All the best.

Thanks - will give it a go on my HD and see how it goes. Hopefully that'll encourage my workplace to let us all wear headphones during work! :p

(or at least make the dude who talks really loud on their phone quiet down a bit)

Rebranded the website

Just overhauled the website with new graphics and info. Also added an online upload section so you can get something straight up there using either our mobiles apps or your own recorder.

Let me know what you think of the new look and if it all makes sense.

Cheers!

looks good cm :)

to all: please help out on this worthy project by installing the cab and uploading your sounds or even just giving your thoughts on how to make the software better.

thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] reiteravi:
can it use the gps to set the location automatically ?

also might drive those gadget freaks try it out
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cmydlarz:
The Windows mobile version doesn't use the GPS unfortunately as I was having some real issues getting it working universally so I stripped it out. Our Java version for mobiles does though, if your mobile has a built in GPS receiver.

The way that these soundscapes are located without a GPS fix is by the dropping of a marker on a google maps box on the site @ http://www.soundaroundyou.com

But please give it a try and thanks for the interest!

I updated my rom recently to the ATT upgrade but no everytime I switch from landscape to portrait the taskbar will pop up through my programs even youtube and opera. I searched on google for a while and couldn't find anything is there a fix for this please help!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] splxtreme:
Can someone help me please. I've tried changing the folder images in shellres.192 and they are not showing up. I tried adding additional icons within the ico file but no luck. Maybe because I'm trying to edit the shellres file in tsowentaskbar6 WM6.5 package I made, because It looks like it replaces the default shellres file. If there is an easier way, I'd like to know. Thank you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] player911:
yea. If you just want a few folders with customised icons, all you do is put the icons in a folder so they get cooked into the ROM. Then go here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\SHELL\STARTINFO\START\*foldername*

ICON = \Windows\icon_name.png
ItemPosition = 0x00000000 (0x00000001, 0x00000002, etc)

Thats where the start meu information is setup. If you want to change the default icon for new folders, just replace the existing folder image in the dll... no need to add to it.

Would it be an issue with the battery? or the board? rom?

It seems as if the battery looses connection with the phone or something along those lines, it works fine when I don't move it, but if i pick it up and go mobile, it turns off on random movements.

Is this a common problem? I have searched and didn't find any help.

TIA
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
No this isn't common, can you plug it in and move it around? Lets see what that does. I would think the phone is hozed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] polish_express:
Hozed? As in water damage? I don't remember it getting wet....

At first, when it started acting up, it didn't even want to charge or turn on. I would plug it in, turn it on and it would reset after the "HTC" screen, continuously.

Now I can plug it in no problem, and it charges. Sometimes, it'll tell me that the battery is out of juice after a few hours or charging, but its rare.

I'm also having trouble sync-ing

I sent the phone in to get it checked out and will post what the outcome is.

I really hope its the end of the batteries life, and not the phone :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Hozed is an old techie term saying it's broken.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Stick a small bit of card between battery and back case see if that helps ;)

As for the rest of your problems a hard-reset and if it's not just that the battery isn't making full contact a new battery...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DesperateScorpion:
Used to have that problem

This issue was mentioned here before.....and stylez suggested to you, I inserted a piece of folded paper between the battery and the phone (opposite to the battery terminals). Never had that problem again.....this was at least 10 months ago....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] punkhawaiian:
I had same problem and solved it by just adjusting the battery contacts. Pull them out a little.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Greeee:
Try rubbing the cold contacts of the battery and the phone with a pencil rubber.

It removes any oxydization, and slight corrosion off the contacts, also use the idea of the card to see if that helps!

Check that the SIM card door is fully closed and properly locked

I've just used your tip to fix my T-Mobile G1. It was always powering off when it was in my pocket or when I flipped the screen out. T-Mobile said it was a software problem and I should return it - and survive with a crummy 2G loan phone for a couple of weeks while it was "with the engineers". ****ing idiots. :rolleyes: So thanks a million! :D:D:D

This forum is, and has always been since I bought my Blue Angel in 2004, the most useful on the web! There are so many guys here who ROCK! :)
[Touch HD General] heKCEr:
Hello there,

well, before a week I have just purchased a HTC TOUCH HD UK from expansys

as my experience with first touch HD ELF :) which is stolen in bus of our university :)

I have upgraded the rom to windows 6.5 (ENERGY ROM LAST VER ) , but it become slower and hot when I run Android Via HaRet ??

:'(

HELP HELP HELP

Also is there any way ( no problem in 3 months or four ) to Format fully the ROM and install Android as main in it

thanks so much

and also I want best software navigation , which has middle east maps and does not become my HD Hot

thanks again

best regards,

ms4cah
[Touch HD General] D'rath:
You could try with an extralight ROM: if you run Android via HaRet the HD is working because runs a program (Android) all the time (so CPU works and makes HD hot).

To now there isn't possibility to flash HD with Android.

TomTom or iGo8 but HD become hot because CPU and GPS run...

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Currently no way to flash Android onto rom. Only available as a programme on top of a rom. As already advised your best option may be an ultra light rom which should improve speed for you
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Fandysilalahi:
Guys I'm a newbie here. Lookin for some themes to freshen up the look of my Q8. Is there any android inspired theme for winmo 6.0? I read somewhere that a Pre inspired theme is currently in development for moto Q with facade.

I think the home screen on that google phone is really sweet. Sophisticated without being pretentious.

Thx for the help guys.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daandman:
Can anybody help me with this? I'm using the Fatality Hero ROM now. I'm no expert (or anywhere close), and I've read through the HW "How do I do techie stuff" thread, which did help me a lot. I'm having a hard time with this though. I've downloaded the Rogers Original Wiped Rom from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=534464, but I tried installing it like I did other ROMs (copy to SD card, recovery mode, install update) & it doesn't do it. I've tried wiping the device, using the RAv1.0H.img recovery too, but still no luck, and I've had to recover my phone with my Nandroid backups plenty of times in all my attempts.

So how do I do it? And keep in mind I don't understand a lot of this, so a step-by-step "For Dummies" version would help a lot.

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry, I just read your post again. My information was useless...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mpwarner:
I haven't tried it myself, but from reading the thread it looks like its a nandroid backup rather then a normal rom you would install. Search the forums on howto use a nandroid backup or check this out http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking_2#sec06
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skittleguy:
It is Nandroid backup. I made it myself.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daandman:
Yeah, I realized that after reading another thread & then looking at the contents, I thought it was a normal ROM. I used it & it worked great, so thanks a lot!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] saad87:
Do any of you have the nandroid backup files for the rogers stock rom (system system.img, boot boot.img, recovery recovery.img)? I was a noob when I rooted my magic a while back, forgot to backup...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] coolfire74:
I very much appreciate that the diamond has G-sensor and can rotate itself based on the orientation. And I actually love this feature. But when I am reading or surfing webpages, or doing something else, it is really annoying if the screen rotates just because some minor orientation changes of my device or sometimes when my body moves a little. It is really annoying because I need to wait probably some time to rotate the screen back.

Is there anyway or any program can set the screen rotate only on shaking or define the angle difference of the device to rotate the screen? I really love the idea that when I hold my device and then shake it, and only the shaking can activate the G-sensor. But can we do that? Does this kind of apps exist?

Thanks!

Time for a new phone
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oraeanast:
i flashed spl-signed

whatever that is.. my phone was giving me a android.process.aboot (OR SOMETHING LIEK THAT) with an option to force close it only. I figured the SPL would help this situation.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
No offense big guy but just downloading and flashing something that you had no idea about probably wasn't the best idea. Where did you get this mysterious SPL from? Perhaps we can help you trace it that way. It sounds as though you bricked though since you have little to offer in the way of retracing your steps so we can help you. What guide did you follow, what radio did you have?

What made you figure that an SPL upgrade would fix your force close error? Did you research any of this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Yea just like what DirectMatrix said "What would make you think the spl would solve a FC issue".
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oraeanast:
well i know that the SPLs allow installation of unfamiliar ROMs and allow them to work.. i did this before with a different one and it did the trick. that is why i repeated this process.

To be perfectly honest, this SPL was in my downloads folder and had worked before.. so i flashed it. I have attached the SPL so maybe somebody can check this out? I appolagize for my newbess and impulsiveness lol.

And i believe the radio was NOT v2 =[ i know thats bad..

THE ROM I FLASHED THIS ON TOP OF WAS JFV1.51_CRB43-ADP
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
The only SPL I have in my SPL folder that is that same file size is the haykuro danger SPL, so if you didn't update to the latest radio (2.22.19.26I) then I'm sorry to tell you, YOUR BRICKED!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Yea thats the same spl I have on my pc that is the "danger" spl. Yep if you flashed that without having the newest radio then you are bricked my friend. And spl has nothing to do with allowing installation of unfamiliar roms. What that spl does is free up more space on our phones to be able to install the hero roms which are larger.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The md5sum of the SPL you posted is the same as Haykuro's danger SPL. What's quite worrying is that you had a 1.5 ROM but not the 1.5 radio, if you had the new radio you would not have bricked. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a few dropped calls on 1.5 ;-P You didn't read, flashed something you didn't know about and bricked. My sympathy for you = nil.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
new thread idea

I was thinking on my drive home, maybe we should just start a thread titled

TO EVERYONE: FLASH THE RADIO BEFORE YOU FLASH THE DANGER SPL FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!!!!

Just start the thread, have it stickied, and have it closed before anyone can post anything in it. Then people wouldn't even have to open a thread, they can just navigate to a forum and have it slap them in the face. Then of course the next logical step is just to start a forum with the same title, then all they have to do is get to the website.....the sad part is people will still brick..

My sympathy for Mr/Mrs. oraeanast ended quickly when I read:

If anybody has ANY clue or discovers any where to reverse this.. or maybe force the phone into fastboot from the computer that'd be great
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Dude, you gotta calm down a little and try to understand where we're coming from. MODS, I know this is off topic but I feel I have to get this off my chest...>big breath<

[RANT]There are literally hundreds of places within this forum that tell you to flash the radio before the SPL. There are notes and warnings all over the ROM threads, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of posts regarding:

n00b: "I think I bricked"

person trying to help: "can you get into recovery"

n00b: "no, I was trying to flash the new SPL so I could get Hero"

person trying to help: "did you install the radio first"

n00b: "oh no, what's that"

Not to mention you, yourself, mention in your first few posts that you didn't know what it was, you just figured you'd flash it because you thought it would help with some kind of force close. When you do something like that, n00b or not, you are gonna take some flaming from the forum. Sorry this is just how these things work. There are thousands of people on these forums that spend weeks reading before they do anything to their phone, and there are just as many who read for 20 minutes and just start doing things. The very nature of a open forum of this type makes it difficult to have organized data. Everyone seems to understand that but some are unwilling to put in the time necessary to gather all the proper resources and data. Unfortunately, you seem like one of these poor people.[/RANT]

My only comfort to you now is go here and give your phone a proper burial....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
My sentiments exactly... You've BRICKED your phone, not had a small glitch that we can fix. Its called brick for a reason because your phone is now only useful as a BRICK! Its not reversible at this time, nor would I suspect it to be reversible in the near future. Next time, read, read, read, read, read... and then read some more before you try to flash some mystery signed-spl.zip that you found on your computer...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighRidas:

with other phones that have been 'bricked' I have managed to connect via usb and used mtty then used the task 28 55aa command to format the device to start over again ?

Is there any option of this nature for the G1 ?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
I doubt you do. Some people here where trying to build one and don't know how far they got. If you send your phone to HTC for repair thats what they do hook it up with a jtag cable and reflash. No one here has access to it. Otherwise you would be seeing posts of people fixing bricks. So sorry to bust your bubble but there isn't anything you can do.

I dont know why this is, but some people in this section of the forum

(HTC dream) do tend to be a bit, shall we say, condesending un-necessarily ..as oppose to other sections of the xda developers site where people are generally alot more friendly??

It does seem that anyone who doesnt know something gets unhelpful comments as oppose to help?

I have enjoyed this site very much over the last 2 years and have contributed in areas where i can help, which have been with various models of HTC.

I have also donated generous paypal contributions, to those who have in return helped me ..

so in answer you question, NO, i am not trying to b*llsh1t a free recovery

and I have a software disk with Jtag written on it which i obtained from a friend but I have no idea what it does, so if anybody knows perhpaps they could shed some light?

I have used MTTY and QMAT but am unfamiliar with this Jtag ?!? so if anybody can help then please do, as I thought that sharing information was encouraged here.
