[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
Do you have all the tmobile apps that came with the mytouch (myfaves etc...)

Im still trying to decide whether or not to root. I have rooted "jailbroken" my iphone. Is rooting give you the same benefit as jailbraking? I mainly used the jailbreak for denied apps from the app store, themes, and tethering. Tethering is not so important (unless I'm traveling haha)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BrooklynAvi:
Same idea and then some. Cyan does not include myFaves in his builds but it can be added. Check the G1 forum where he posts his ROMS. I saw a post about it the other day but can't remember where. Search. When in doubt, ROOOOOOT!!! No other way to use Android IMO.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
So the myfaves app that came with my mytouch ("Magic" I like that name so much better btw mytouch sounds so girly) can't be pushed to me by tmobile. I happened to me once where it completely disappeared from my phone and cs refreshed my myfaves and i got it within 5 min. I guess its not a big deal if I can download it. How about the other apps like youtube, android market; will they work as they would on a non rooted mytouch?

The main thing stopping me from rooting is that I can't return it to the original factory state like I could for my iphone. Not sure how stuff works on android (im still a noob with this OS) but on the iphone it wasn't a big deal to jailbreak as it just modifies just a small part of the OS to allow non apple approved apps/themes etc... but with this its like it flashes a whole different OS. How about all the new updates like donut etc...that we will get ota. I guess the devs here will include all those features in their new ROMs (as they are doing now) so that is not such a big deal.

Thanks for the quick answer btw.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Fallen Spartan:
MOD EDIT

Moved to general discussion forum
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BrooklynAvi:
Sorry for not answering your response as quickly as the first answer. I can't speak for the iPhone but the G1/myTouch (I have both) are a MUST root IMO. I think having total control over the phone and OS is so important. As far as Market, YouTube, etc. they all work. Every app works, as far as I am concerned and I have 225 apps (all paid for if they weren't free) installed. As far as updates are concerned, the devs here are months ahead of Google and TMO. Cyanogen (best ROMs here, IMO, if you aren't into Hero and things like that) already has some Donut stuff in his stable 4.0.1 ROM and adds quite a bit of cool features in his experimental ROMs. You can also add bits from other devs if Cyan doesn't include something you like. Cyan does not include myFaves (I forget why) but it can be added after. Just search around for that. Even without the app on your phone, you can always update them online and still make free calls to your faves. It just won't show on the phone, that is unless you have the "after market" app installed. Hope this helps. And like I said, root is absolutely the way to go. Nothing frightening. In fact, I feel more comfortable with tools like Nandroid built-in so I can always restore my phone if/when I mess something up or install and unstable ROM/theme. I flash almost daily for that reason.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
wow dude you have been a lot of help, I feel a lot more about rooting now (wow you flash almost everyday haha awesome). I think I'm gonna try it tonight haha.

So I wont need to restore to the original shipped state if I ever need to do a warranty claim?

oh yeah so should I flash cyanogen 3.9.X.X or 4.0.1 ( I know 3.9.X.X has some donunt features but its experimental...but is it better?)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mykenyc:
so far JACxHero is my fav rom
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
really is there a main/any difference between the 2?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mykenyc:
i've used cyanogen and its amazing rom but i don't know if its me but JACxHero seems waay more smooth and faster...

and the crazy part is im using a class 2 sd i can only imagine using class 6
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
So it looks like sense ui from the hero? I heard all those roms are slow due to the ram limitation on the mytouch (192mb) vs the hero (288mb)

btw I have a class 2 card too as of right now so that is good to know
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mykenyc:
JACxHero is not a hero port its a regular cupcake with hero type theme and htc music port try it out have nothing to lose really
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
Yeah I think I will since it is pretty safe to do (especially since aaronranter flashes everyday it has to be lol)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mykenyc:
i have too trust me i went through 8 roms already went right back to JACxHero
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
WOW lol

So to flash it all I have to do it to do the 1 click root method and flash that rom? (not sure where to get it btw)

How about when i want to change roms what do I do?

do I do a nandroid backup every time i switch roms?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] schtuka:
I am a noob, but if you use search option you will find out that JacHero needs latest Radio and SPL which is 2005. One click method doesnt change it. I still have 2006, "perfect".
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mykenyc:
you can always use the old method just follow the instructions step by step don't feel discourage ... but you must and i repeat follow each step ... one... by ..one
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hypmatize:
Ah thanks for the info. I think i'll flash with cyanogen's rom since I currently don't have another micro sd card to do the old method
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mgorman:
I have to say Evil's ROM is the best. I've used Champion v2 and JACx 1.3 and they both gave me issues. Cyan 4.1 is great but its not a hero rom. Evils rom works great on my phone. check it out

Hi,

I am looking for a program that shows the capacity of your battery in terms mAh. I had one on a previous ROM but can't recall its name.

Tried the search but can't find it.

I want to see if my extra batteries are as displayed on their packaging.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[General Topics] LewxX:
Uh,

[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
I don't know if there's an app that does it all, but I've done it with TBattery. Just charge up your device fully, then open TBattery and turn on the logger (probably at 30 second intervals). Then turn turn up your backlight to max, and turn on wmp, your gps, and anything else that burns a lot of juice. Let the phone drain down to ~5%. Then copy the log file to your pc and export the data into an excel sheet. Calculate the average current and multiply it by the time it took to drain the battery. This gives a good estimate of the capacity (in mAh). When I did it with a 3 month old battery, I was at 1000 mAh (the battery is listed as 1340 mAh), which seemed reasonable. I shudder to think what is is now, 6 months later.
[Touch HD General] Hookani:
Hi all,

Maybe a little late in the game but my T8285 is on it's way. I'm on ATT in Hawai'i so hopefully shouldn't have any problems. Quick question. Did most of you flash your ROM right off the bat or did you use it for a while before doing so?

Ho'okani
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Best advice I can offer you is get to know your device as it is first. Read up on the wiki and just enjoy your phone. Not everyone flashes a new or cooked rom and most people don't change rom until they find something wrong with it or just fancy the look of another device.
[Touch HD General] antrak:
I didn't flash a other rom right away. I just started getting to know my phone first like Fallen Spartan said and learning more about the whole flashing scene. I think I flashed my first rom after about 3 or 4 weeks.
[Touch HD General] smeddy:
I wanted to enjoy an unspoilt phone for a bit, and it was my first Windows Mobile phone... I lasted about a week :)

[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Warranty period in different countries vary. Some countries its 3 months, some its 12 months. To wait 12 months can be extremely hard for people
[Touch HD General] dB Zac:
the telstra rom internet setting are locked in and don't work on AT&T so I flashed a custom rom the day I got it. I mean come on, if you gotta flash a rom anyways, might as well make it one of Miri's!
[Touch HD General] Hookani:
Got my HD yesterday and got it all set up. Playing with it using the stock ROM. Stuck in my SIM and all works no problem after inputting the ATT settings. The only thing that I can't do (which will probably make me flash the ROM) is that Opera browser is locked to Telstra so I can't use Opera unless there is some registry setting or something I can change. Anyone know how to change this? I can use IE though.

Just gonna use it with the stock ROM and find all the quirks that bother me and see if a ROM flash is needed. I'm sure I'll have some questions though and I have been going thru the HD wiki.

Ho'okani

P.S. Got my HD thru modernmobile.ca and must say the experience was good. Very responsive to email inquiries.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ohyeahar:
Purpose is to have the device automatically lock without having to hold the End key.

Agree. This uses no phone resources as well which is a huge plus. S2U2 is pretty, but uses way to much RAM if all you want is to lock your device.

why don't u try a hardreset?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Because My phone's working fine..?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Hmmm... I think I just found a way to really screw up your phone... let's see what you think of my theory:

1. Put your phone into Airplane mode. This will completly turn off all the radios in the phone.

2. Go into settings and set an unlock pattern.

3. Put your phone into standby mode and turn it back on.

4. If you use up all of your tries at the unlocḱ screen you will have to enter your login details to unlock it. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL IN AIRPLANE MODE. Hence, the phone will not be able to connect to Googles servers for verification. And the worst thing is that not even a shut down of the phone will remove the airplane mode. Not even a removal of the battery.

THe only way to get out of this is to do a hardware reset of the phone.

What do you this of this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] adel2adel:
I guess this is the only solution, I did a hardreset.

but this is a very very dangerous bug in the operating system.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] adel2adel:
at any time you can click and hold the reject call/power off button and it will bring you a list of options one of them is turning off airplane mode
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minogue:
Go on your computer and reset your Gmail password. then try again. It should do the trick.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
And there fell my theory. Now I can sleep well knowing Google thought about that too... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
How so? If you have synched everything with google then everything comes straight back..

Damn annoying, but hardly dangerous!

When I open Opera, I always get the notification "Do you want to go online?". If I don't have a connection open to the Internet, I can imagine the notification. But I don't want the notification if I'm already online.

Is there a way to set Opera that is does ask the question, when I don't have an Internet connection open and to skip this dialog box, when I do have an Internet connection open?

On my previous HTC (Diamond) I only got this dialog box when I wasn't connected.

I installed the cab on 6.1 and it works fine however when the bubble pops up the left hand option (I think) is "SaveRead" whereas in Ookba's 6.5 ROM it was "Reply". Does anyone know why it's different and if there's some setting I'm overlooking to have it be "Reply"? Thanks.

Hi all Universal owners,

As you may know our Wiki is being updated, during this process some of the great info we use to had over there is not available, meantime hope this thread can be of help.

And wishing great Wiki team can put all the previous stuff on it´s place;)

If you feel you want to help, send me a PM so i can update this guide, that for now is the most complete for Universal until we have the Wiki finished.

Thanks,
[General Topics] afn691:
Not me (last week I suffered strong family problems added to my job ones) but my SD card suicided this evening.

I tried to analize what was happening, so maybe this can be a good explanation to other users about "what NOT TO DO"

I searched lots of times for SD cards' problems here, as my Herald freezed many times, and some of them the card had some i/o errors BEFORE the freeze.

Then, with my Kaiser I bought a new SD card, which worked properly except that 10 days ago I missed 6 pictures which were unreadable. I made a backup of everything and, luckily, I did not take many pictures more, and had no time to work on my device, so I missed nothing with this failure.

What happened today:

In Barcelona and the whole Catalonia, temperatures are high, so we're in 2ndlevel alert for warming, as many people feel bad.

My PC's do also fail, they also do i/o errors when reading from external hard disks or flash disks.

I was trying to show to my father how a VoIP works, but did not launch the IP phone today (I could last night).

The device, a good 2nd hand Kaiser, began to warm itself. And when I tried to search a file in the Sd card with TotalCommander, there was nothing there.

I tried to recover the files using lots of recovery software but in every case all the files are labeled as corrupted and unrecoverable.

I remembered that my problems using the Herald came from high performance works asked to the device.

And the files missing last week were pictures taken in dramaticall heat conditions, also.

So, my opinion is that having more than 35ºC and a high level of humidity, added to the heat that electonical devices generate, is what really makes the cards fail. No bad software (when for other people it works great, why am I reading sometimes "this app fried my card" ?), no bad device-flash... only climate.

This means we must take care about warming the device or working with it when high temperatures assault us.

Ah! In my case, I must format again the card, it's unusable in its state now.
