I've tried the mail.apk in your shared files hosting. But it's the same version already in the nk02 rom. I've got this rom currently installed and it's not working for me :(

Sadly it doesn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
It's not the same version. It's an updated version...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rroet:
mm.. the .apk tells me it's the same version (1.0.0) as already installed. I tried removing the old app already, but it's not allowed ?!

i can't force reinstall it as it's the same version. If you happen to have a way to update the version by 0.0.1 orso, I thinki it could work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
This Mail.apk is from the new HTC update that they have received in Portugal. The file size is actually different from the old. I am going to guess that they did not yet fix the bug that is affecting you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
Is they any 3rd party free exchange client for android? The stock Hero one doesn't work for me. RoadSync works great, but it's in beta and once beta is over will cost $50! I believe Touchdown is $25.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rroet:
I trust you to say it is different, but I can't get the old one uninstalled so I can't try your version. It doesn't allow me to upgrade as it says it's the same 1.0.0

as already installed on the nk02 image.

Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???

I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)

I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] phjott:
But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] 91004:
If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......

Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rusreid:
I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jesse99:
Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.

First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.

And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.

WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mouradlayeb:
Works fine for Win7 x64.

but Win7 x86 "NO"

you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kinsago:
Updates?

Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Twenty4:
I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.

Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sipols:
i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)

With it checked it didnt work on mine win7
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] sipols:
your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?

And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.

I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkstar De Luxe:
This problem has persisted with every single version of Android I have tried. I live in an area with a somewhat poor signal, so frequently some of my SMS messages do not send. Now, the problem is that I get no notification of this other than a little red exclamation mark appearing next to the message. It does not resend when I get a signal, it just sits there!!

So, I need to long press the message, press edit, then resend. This really pisses me off because it's inconvenient and unnecessary.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
No, if there is not a good enough signal then that will happen. Mine does that when I try to send a message and my signal goes out. Its just something we have to do. The only thing I can say is make sure your radio is up to date, which I'm sure it is.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkstar De Luxe:
Damn, that's a shame. This is quite a big usability issue for me - and I'm sure many others. Is it possible to make a custom build of the SMS app?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
You talkin about where it will send the message as soon as the signal returns.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkstar De Luxe:
Yes. I see no advantages to the default behaviour.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
That would be something good to have, and I know it can be done. Have you tried any other messaging app to see if it behaves the same way, or do you want to stick with the default app.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bwsuk:
Has anyone know of or got a link to a modded radio for the UK 32B Magic, or even a link for an original radio for the 32B as I think I may have flashed the radio at some point, but having flashed a million and one thing since then i can remember if did or not.

My main prob is that when i lose my signal the phone doesnt seem to pick up the signal again and I have to manually search for a network, this tends to happen to me alot as I work for a council thats a bit out in the sticks.

My current baseband is - 62.50s.20.17h_2.22.19.26I

any help would be great (before you all say anything yes I have been searching on the forum and googling for it, if I missed it im sorry)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gorilla_fan:
Hi everyone. I've made the error of letting my Wizard get to 0% battery charge... so, when I tried to charge it up, no deal. I read around why, and I understood how this phone charges the battery: ok, no big deal. I followed a couple of posts here, on how to revive the Wizard. I used a 9V battery to let it boot... and it booted! But the battery never kept charge... well, I dunno: the battery status screen showed some percentages, but to be honest it never kept charge, or I had already fried the phone, thus the battery didn't get any charge/the phone couldn't start.

Then I got smarter, I read that a spare battery and the original wall charger would've been better... I took another battery, I attached its 1A wall charger... red blinking led, which sometimes stops blinking.

I fried the mainboard, didn't I ? I'm starting to think that 9V is a lil bit too much.

UPDATE EDIT: Well, I've done some electronic necromancy... the two batteries I had won't charge. I've managed to piggy back them with a power supply, they can boot the phone. Whee. Then I plug in the original wall charger, and... after 5-10 minutes, bang, power goes down. How much voltage do those batteries output after this little trick? 0.00, 0.01. Well, I just bought a new battery... but I still fear I might have fried something. I'm gonna charge one of those old batteries with the power supply and see what happens.

How to Recharge battery. When battery goto 0%

try this.. mine worked. Take a USB Cable cut the small end of the usb cable

not the side that goes to the computer. Strip the wire . all you need is the

red and the black wire. the rest fold it or cut it short. First : take the battery out of the phone. SECOND: Plug the usb to the computer ** becareful don't let the open wire touch each other it will shut your computer down or burn your usb port. THIRD :Put the red wire to the + (positive ) and the black wire to the - (negative) on the battery for 1-3 minute. then put the battery back in the phone, turn it on , then plug your charger quickly. Hope this help you..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gorilla_fan:
Thanks for the advice, goon1. I'm going to try this tomorrow, you'll have updates :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gorilla_fan:
The battery kept charge for like 10 minutes... then, bam, it's dead. It won't charge with the wall charger, it won't with the usb charger, nothing at all. I hope I just overloaded it and broke when I clumsly tried to reboot my phone, which I'll discover as soon as my new battery will get here from HK :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] goon1:
that mean you have a bad battery. MADE IN CHINA. doesn't live up to it name.

the battery from there loose it charge quick. Remember they run 220 and we run 110. Just get a good battery from USA.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] PeterBiekens:
Batteries do wear out, and it shows when they wont hold their charge...

Before you conclude your phone is damaged, buy and try a new battery. ;-)

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gorilla_fan:
UPDATE :)

Since I didn't want to spend too much on a phone I consider bricked, I bought a 3$ battery from HK.

New, supposedly working... the red led is watching me.

Another detail: the power button does not work. In the rare cases where the phone booted, pushing it to go in stand by didn't work.

I'm more and more convinced that I fried something.
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
Update: http://rapidshare.com/files/265248702/zImage-08-08-09-custom

No changes on my end, just updated to today's kernel source and repatched.

Here is the better version:

After trying a variety of combinations of keys, shifting, etc...I've come up with what *I* like best. There are plenty of better ways, if I could get them to work, but I've ended up with some severe limitations:

- Can't use shift with call, end, power or camera buttons

- Can't detect long vs short keypress

So, I've disabled shifting entirely. Yes, I loose a couple keys (home and left rotate...home can be done with end if setup to do so, and I don't care about rotation that much).

Everything is the same as the default builds except:

- Power is menu instead of home

- Volume keys do volume control

- Camera is back

Included in the file is the two source files I've changed, which go in kernel/arch/arm/mach-msm

Anyone else who knows how to compile the kernel should be able to change the layout...if you need help, let me know and I'll do what I can.

----- Original post -----

I've slightly remapped the vogue's buttons.

Before we start, I want to be clear: This is a dirty hack. The buttons are not customizable. But IMHO it's better than what we have.

Just download (see above for new link) and replace your existing zImage.

All I did was swap the GPIO settings in vogue-board.h

Add this to the bottom of the file, and comment out the original #define lines near the top.

#define GPIO_VOLDN 29
#define GPIO_POWER 41
#define GPIO_VOLUP (VOGUE_GPIO_MISC5_BASE+7)
#define VOGUE_GPIO_CAM_BUTTON 42

Power and volume down switched.

Camera and volume up switched.

Power = Menu

Camera = Back

To rotate screen, use vol up + left.

To change volume, use vol up + power or camera.

For me, this will result in much less use of the volume keys, saving some wear and tear.

Hope you like it!

Edit: Seems volume down is the only key that will turn the screen back on now...will look into fixing that.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
I think I'll pass. I'm sure some people will like it better, but I like the idea of my volume keys being associated with the audio volume, even if I have to use a shift-key to do it.
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
Hopefully that will happen eventually.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
This is definitely a step in the right direction though, my volume slider is starting to get pretty shaky. Its got lots of side to side movement.
[Touch CDMA General] myshinynewtouch:
grantemsley - finally something i wanted to get done for a long time, can u pls explain how you did it - this is the combination i like, seeing that i dont use the d-pad much (with a nice touch screen and all.... )

i like the d-pad - down : menu

d-pad - up : back

volume up : volume up

volume down : volume down

power : power

camera : rotate screen

pls help me customize my zImage. what do I need to package the zImage already available..
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
I like this idea, although I occasionally use the d-pad. No way to add a shift to make the d-pad still the d-pad, or use a long press or something? Or is that too complicated for the fix atm?

I should start reading about android coding.
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
This control scheme looks very appealing to me as well...+1

Grantemsley, could you post another zImage with this config?
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
I'm currently at work at my real job, but playing with the code a bit in between things. I'm working on rewriting this the proper way, so that I can add additional shift keys.

There are two things I need to know:

- Where is the code that controls which button(s) will turn the phone on from standby. If I remap the power button, I end up with no buttons able to turn the phone on...I basically can't continue without finding this.

- Assuming we have any 1 key as a "shift" key, and every other key is remappable, what do you think the ideal layout would be?

Note: This will never be user configurable unless someone else figures that part out...but we can compile our own kernels with our preferred layout.
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
I would vote this layout - keeping the power button as it currently is, but change the camera butto9n back to being the [alt] key for rotating, etc... just so that there were a few more options.

The d-pad up and down for back and menu respectively is what I am REALLY looking forward to.... and the volume switch back to controlling volume.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Power: Power

End: End/Power Off

D-Pad Up: Back

D-Pad Down: Menu

D-Pad Left: Rotate

D-Pad Right: ?

Camera: Shift

Shift + D-Pad: Standard D-Pad

That's how I see it being ideal.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
K, I dunno where the code is, so I can't answer that... but as for my ideal layout:

- Keep Camera button as shift

- Volume key does volume (non-shifted)

- Power button is Home

- Shift-Left is "back"

- As for suspend... I dunno, maybe double-tap the power button? Or just leave it as the Red key.

As far as never being user configurable... I'm not too certain how this all fits into the kernel, but if it could be incorporated as a module rather than built into the kernel, then that could be overcome. It wouldn't be simple. We'd need a UI front-end, which would be easy enough, but the back-end would essentially have to edit the kernel source, rebuild then reload the module. And even that probably isn't possible, as I'm quite sure android doesn't include gcc.
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
You guys really use the dpad that little? I use it all the time while web browsing.
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
I see a few people want to map functions to the non-shifted D-Pad. This makes no sense to me. I like having the D-Pad as a D-Pad. My ideal configuration would make my phone usable to anyone I hand it to. My biggest beef with the current key layout has nothing to do with me using the phone, as I'm used to it... but I like to show off android to people, and it's kinda lame when they can't figure out what the buttons do without me explaining. I'd like it to be simple for someone to pick up an Android Vogue and just use it. Of course, there's no button physically labeled "Menu," so the lock screen will always be confusing to them.
[Touch CDMA General] rhorton:
Yeah, I used the D-Pad all the time in WinMO, but since switching to Android, I don't touch it, unless I'm playing a game or something. If it doesn't make sense to re-map the d-pad, I'm good with that. Using the camera button for back kind of makes sense, or even the shift-left combo...

If my volume rocker gets less use than currently, it's all good.

Edit: I browse using the touch screen only and it is very accurate, even zoomed out...

Also, I don't ever hand the phone over to someone else anymore, because it NEVER seems to make sense to them, but I can see Craig0rs point...
[Touch CDMA General] natefish:
I like this layout best, so that's a +1 from me. That volume toggler wasn't made for industrial use like the d-pad and I really don't use the d-pad to select items very often since I can just touch what I want.

Also, I'm glad you guys started talking about the shift key...because in all the frigging reading I've done on android over the last week, I have somehow managed to miss that the camera button is the shift key for volume toggle ["head banging on wall"].
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
Going back though is a function used very commonly, it would be a pain to have to hold a shift/alt button in order to go back.

I understand people not wanting to remap the dpad, and craigOr has a point about usability.

How about something like this:

Volume Up: Up

Volume Down: Down

Power: Wake, Home

End: Suspend, End

Camera: Back, Shift?

Camera + Left: Rotate

D Pad: D Pad

Is it even possible to make the camera function as back if pressed, and a shift if held?
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
My ideal layout would be:

Power: single press for suspend/resume.....long press for power off menu.

Volume slider: volume

Send: single press for phone dialer.......long press for home

End: single press for end call....long press for menu

Camera: single press for back.......long press for rotate:

Dpad: dpad

Center button: single press for select.....Long press recent programs
[Touch CDMA General] craig0r:
I was under the impression that the Red key's function gets changed by android depending on whether it's in a call or not. This would cause a huge problem with your layout, as it would take a lot more work to get the menu up during a phone call.
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
Thus far, I do not know how to do long keypress vs short keypress.

Also, there has to be at least 1 button that is not shiftable...which will be the button used to wake up from standby (since I still haven't gotten the dev tools working right, I can't tell why shiftable keys aren't waking the device up...)
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
When thinking about layouts I was under the impression that we had to keep the same functions, just move them to different keys. If the power button could suspend and wake the phone, that would be ideal... but is it possible to change all the different functions around like that?
[Touch CDMA General] grantemsley:
Anything is possible...but not with my current level of know how. All I can do is remap existing keys.
[Touch CDMA General] TheKartus:
That's what I meant... :)
