ANDROID is the BEST OS for ROGERS HTC DREAM. actually its the only one. an OS is sumthign like android,windows mobile,webOS,symbian,etc.

just letting u know what the definition of OS is. or more like examples
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
1- You can't run any OS other than android. We have different builds/ROMs, some based on the google source code, others are HTC builds.

Voice dial is an app issue, maybe there's one on the market

Some ROMs have multi-touch in the browser, HTC Hero builds also have it in the gallery app.

No idea about the time stamp issue :-S

There's several terminal emulators in the market.

3- I believe Rogers Dreams use a different radio image, don't flash anything without some confirmation that it's for the rogers dream.

4- Splash images (you're flashing via fastboot, right?) need to be converted to a raw format, not .png's

5- Grab a terminal emulator from the market, type 'su' and if it works the $ will turn to a #
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
Thanks Adrian.

@imfloflo: Next time, if you have nothing useful to say, don't say anything at all.

@brian: I meant what is the best ROM out there. I'm quite familiar with the definition of OS and am a software engineer, I thought it would be clear enough that I'm not trying to Install Windows XP on my device.

Thank you Adrian for actually ANSWERING questions. :D

I've looked at the source for the voice dial app and it doesn't seem to be too much work to fix it (in fact the code to just execute the action if only one match is found is already there, but commented out!!), but I haven't been able to flash my build onto the device ... I can't get past the boot splash.

About the radio, yes I've heard that too and that's why I've been so reluctant to flash anything out in the forums on the device ... they all seem to stress that you need the specific radio image.

So the splash images have to be raw, I can do that, what about bit depth? 8 bit per color? is that RGB or RGBA?

su says permission denied ... so I've probably missed some of steps in the rooting instructions :(

Thanks again for the answers :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
You beat me to the punchline.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Damn, I guess you don't have root, not really sure what to suggest as I'm not familiar with the rogers rooting process. Just start again I guess?

Here's a how-to for the splash images. I've never done it, for the simple reason that if ever I brick my phone I can send it back to HTC and claim an OTA update bricked it. They're hardly going to believe me if my splash image says "I CAN HAZ ROOT, LOLZ" ;-)

I just realized I forgot something pretty important regarding rogers dream, I don't think you can flash ROMs at the moment. You can get root, and there are themes floating about, but I don't think anyone's managed to successfully flash a new ROM. Sorry if I got your hopes up back there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
Yeah, I'll give the rooting another shot.

I almost knew it may be impossible (or simply too much of a hassle to do), but I'll call them and ask how to install my own custom flashes on it ... it's open source after all ... They should either not carry an open source product or if they do, do it the 'open source' way :)

Cheers :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobyflasher:
you can flash ROM's very easily...im not a technical expert so i cant really help you that much...but check dream android development...it has all the android ROM's...you have to reroot and theres stickys that should help a lot with some of your questions atleast...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
It's not the actual flashing ... I've read (as Adrian also confirmed above) that you can only root a Roger's Android for now.

I've already built the source and even flashed it to the device, but it just sat on the boot splash screen :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Copolii, when you say, "call them", are you talking about Rogers? There's no way they're going to help you. Rooting voids the warranty. Currently there are a couple of threads floating about where people are trying to talk to Rogers and I believe get the source for for the Rogers branded Android OS, or something else which Rogers states is open source but has never actually released the code. They haven't succeeded yet due to Rogers claiming it's HTC's problem and what-not. If you phone them, they'll only tell you that you should have bought an Android Dev Phone 1 (ADP1).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
It works :)

for those who care, I was able to put a few roms on the device and they all seemed to work. In fact as soon as I rebooted I had an incoming call :D

The ROM that I ended up keeping (at least for now) was Soulife's Rogers Remix v2.9.2 (Aug 5, 2009).

It has only been a few hours, but so far so good :)

Thanks to those who helped :)

I called rogers about getting access to their Android source (lol ... I wasn't gonna ask them for rooting help, that'd be too n00bish ... even for moi) ... they've been rather useless.

I noticed HTC had a support number too, they were a lot helpful and the guy even put my name down as a possible beta tester and said he'd get back to me on the Android source request. There's another thread here about it ... it has been going on since July I think and no progress.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fairy:
Both my colleague and I have a new Touch Pro 2 WWE Rhodium since about 2 months.

My colleague was, since he has the telephone complaining about very short battery life. Mine lasts easily 7 days in regular use (now shorter because 24/7 direct pushmail connection). His battery is completely drained within 24 hours.

We contacted the dealer and they have ordered a brand new battery for him. He tried the new battery and I now have his "bad" battery in my phone. But his battery is still dead within 24 hours and in my phone it lasts 'forever'.....

Today I offered to upgrade both phones firmware to make sure all settings were cleared and both phones are configured exactly identical!

Well. I first went to go give both phones a cold boot (call+end+power > vol up). On my phone works perfectly, but my colleagues phone does not respond to the VOL UP button, it completely freezes and does not respond to any button, so I have to pull out the battery. Tried it over at least 20 times!

At last I just updated both firmwares which went OK, but even after that the COLD RESET is not possible.

Finally I found out the END/HOME button didn't respond. My colleague just always used the on-screen end button, so you couldn't accidentally skip the option to create a call note.

After that I tried to get into the COLD reset screen by only using the CALL + POWER button, and that worked!

To make a long story short, the phone is now going back for service. It's a plain DOA and I am positive this is related to the battery drain problem. His phone gave very high "device usage" durations.

PS. Why the long story? At the end when typing this thread I found the cause of this problem. I was hoping someone could point me to the solution but I found it myself.

My final little question is: Is this a common problem with this type of phone or is my colleague just plain unlucky? Do I have to worry about the buttons of my phone? My HTC TyTN buttons broke down on me twice and once on my colleagues phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] shadixs:
7 DAYS??????!??

Amazing... mine wont last more than 8 hours with gprs connected 24/7, 1 push exchange account, 2 push yahoo account with seven, 2 hours call, 100+ emails a day, IM+.

Can you give details what apps running in your phone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Maybe he uses his phone way more than you? I use mine a lot and if I was away from a charger for 24 hours it for sure wouldn't make it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbreze:
Sorry but B.S. on going 7 days :rolleyes:, It won't do that in standby.;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] benanthony:
I just had to warranty my phone tonight because the end key is dead on my phone. I have the Verizon version and the end key is actually a combination button that is also the power key. It acts like its stuck down so when the phone boots it immediately tries to turn itself off and i have to watch it boot so i can select "No" to the power off question. After that I get zero response from the key. I know it works though because if I pull the battery out I can turn the phone on with it. Hopefully these are isolated and this doesn't become a common problem with these phones because I love it otherwise.

Thanks,

Ben
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
Do you have the Touch Pro 2 or the Imagio? Doesn't the Verizon Touch Pro 2 have the power button on top like all the other ones?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] benanthony:
its the verizon touch pro 2 and no the power button is long press end key and the top button is only used to turn the screen off.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leepriestenator:
Yeah that's true. It works differently for the Verizon TP2 just as the guy above me has mentioned.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] itsred:
You should have given this post a different name, along the lines of " hardware button issues " or something like that. You might have gotten more feedback from the community.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago (at&t branded tilt 2) and it's pretty damn solid. My Business partner has had the telus world phone version for a little while now and no problems there, as well my friend bought one of the European models (htc branded Touch Pro II) a while back and he has no issues with his.

The battery thing is definitely normal, my tilt II barely survives a day. Seven day's is ridiculous.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
That is how they all are. The top button puts the phone to sleep like any other phone. Turning the phone off actually turns it off, no incoming calls or messages.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Inquisitor5:
That's weird that Verizon uses the End Key to power the phone on and off.

The Tilt 2 has it as Silence, which is what every single HTC phone I've used in the past, despite carrier, has had it as.

I don't think anyone should realistically expect this phone to last more than a day unless it's used for nothing but text messaging and an occasional phone call (let's face it, there are people who SHOULD have a dumbphone texter like a Rumor2 but insist on having this phone because it's great looking and expensive). Smartphones, in general, last 24 hours and should be charged when you get home. I mean it's a miracle if my Palm Pre can last two days.

Until battery technology catches up I advise getting really friendly with your charger and/or dock
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kwambewright:
power button

that is not the way they all are. I have a TMoUSA TP2 and the top button is clearly marked power and if you hold it pressed it will turn the device off. If you just tap it it will, as you say, put the phone to "sleep". (Turn the screen off). BTW I have no problems with any buttons so far and going on two months. None of my previous HTC devicces gave me trouble either.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timacaro:
Hi,

Some of you, like me have a bad reception with their Hero. For mee, it so bad that 3G is more of a ghost than a reality. Since I'm not that into the OS and what is possible with it. Can anyone confirm that it is possible bij tweaking the Android software, the perception can be inproved, if not that I will return the Hero.

To be clear I mean, can HTC do anything about it without changing the hardware.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicelad_uk:
This will probably be fixed in the future with a Radio release from HTC, it's usually just software releated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elmoono:
Same issue for me, really the only issue that concerns me - at home hero keeps losing signal, wheras my tytn2 has 2 or 3 bars. Same difference in work - at least it has a signal there.

This needs addressing as its a very week signal compared to all my old handsets, hopefully like mentioned it just needs new radio coding.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magdy_gado:
same story here

i don't know what's happening .. no signal most of the time
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elcom:
I also have problems getting a good 3G signal when I'm at home, so I just set the phone to connect only to 2G networks.

Usually 2G networks are better spread out (because they're older) and get better reception.

I assume that most of us have a wireless network at home so 3G isn't that important anyways at home.

Hi, we all know that there is a huge lack of good, high quality games for android. So i would like to start a thread that picks the best out of the pool.

Here is my best-of:

- Jewellust (far better than Bejeweled)

- Devilry Huntress (like Jewellust)

- Christallight Defense

- Bonsai Blast

- Buka

- Totemo (when its out!)

What are your favourite HIGH Quality Games?

snesoid - works fine

scummvm - I've run monkey island and day of the tentacle so far

xgalaga

and light racer is pretty good fun also (although maybe not HQ)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nutter:
+Recommended

Robo Defense

3d cube demo
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] thedumbkid:
+1 for Robo Defense

I also like these games:

Cestos - draw the directions you want the balls to go to try to push opponent's balls into a hole... play against people online makes it even more fun

Trap! - divide box into smaller boxes without getting hit by bouncing balls

Baseball Superstars 2009 is quite fun too even though I don't know much about baseball :p

All I know, that pretty much on my first Android boot and Market visit, I downloaded Doom from the Market, turned on my Wifi, and in the Doom application clicked on 'download shareware .WAD' and 'download sounds'. And it works fine.

So either something is wrong with your Doom installation or Hero, or (more likely) your WAD still isn't entirely compatible with _this_ port.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Rotkaeqpchen:
Its a good game, but as you say, its an iphone port. and it seems its not ported very well. its slow, its not responsive, so its not big fun.

What about HeroCraft and PDAMill. Why dont they port their really good games like Snails, Gamebox Solitaire to Android?
