[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Balprix:
I am looking for a cooked ROM that will make things more hands free or even simpler to use while I am driving. I have my phone hooked into my stereo with a windshield mount and I use it for navigation, music and hands free calling. Right now I am using EnergyRom 3, it's great but I am using WMP and it sometimes crashes. Also using Microsoft Voice Command and Urban Horizon for navigation. Any help or advice on applications would be great; thanks.

Can anyone advise me here. Im getting this error whenever i try to use the HDWallS program to apply a wallpaper...

"An error occured during installation: -2147024891"

But if I install the wallpaper cab directly then it works fine. Someone else in the actual HDWall Wallpaper archive thread (yeh i did search! ) said that its to do with the profile you select in the TouchFLO configuration of HDWall. But if the cab works directly is that right?

Id love to use this app as the wallpapers i have put on look sweet as. Not sure if any of these are conflicting it but i have installed...

- Co0kie HQWallpaperPatch (HQWallpaperPatch_v1.15_forManila2.1.cab) - because its linked in the HDWallS app as a needed patch.

- Tore Lervik Stock Homescreen AllBg HD (Stock Homescreen AllBg HD - Tore edition.cab) - because i wanted to show more calendar appointments on my home screen.

- Spikes MicNeo Taskbar Varient 3 v2 (Spike's__MicNeo_TaskBar_Varient_3_v2.cab) - because the standard taskbar is crap!

- MobileMatt Crystal Clock White (MobileMatt_CrystalClockWhite.cab) - To give it a see through effect.

- At0mAng Custom Slider Icons (At0mAng Custom Slider Icons.cab) - to replace the bottom icon set.

Got other stuff on of course but nothing else touches the looks or homescreen.

Any help really appreciated! Please help!

dam no replies. Bump!

Please anyone know what i can do? This thing rocks and i really want to use it :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zipper85:
Yep I got the same problems, I also would like to use this app, so an answer would be great.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dlthorpe:
Do you have any of them apps installed that i do? Until (hopefully) someone replies who knows we might as well try working it out ourselves! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zipper85:
I don't know which apps you have installed? I got nothing special, only spb backup and resco explorer for now. I only got my device for 3 days now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] highn0r:
same problem here. :-(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dlthorpe:
My apps were mentioned in my post. I only put down the ones which i thought were related. So things like task manager apps or sensor things i didnt think were important.

Its interesting though that you have only had it a couple days and have the issue. Are you with T-Mobile like me?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zipper85:
No my device is completely ubranded.

I installed also HQWallpaperPatch_v1.15_forManila2.1.cab

but that's the only same app i got like you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kyuub:
same probleme for me :'(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tomaspistola:
I fixed it on mine (was a totally clean install before I installed HDWall) by using the app unlock cab. I've attached it for your convenience.

Hope that helps.

Thanks mate, I didn't find this solution in the HDWall thread either but this got HDWalls working for me. Unfortunately CabViaActivesync still errors out. I wasn't seeing thumbnails for some reason though.

OK, I did the reg edit and ICS has been working great for about a week and a half. Now, all of the sudden, last night, it has started kicking me offline not too long after I connect. I get a chance to load a couple of web pages and then I start getting time outs and get booted. If I reconnect, it will work again for a short while and then same thing again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G1 General] GizDrak:
I did not think you could burn a image in to the screen on these phones but I just found a dark burned in spot on the bottom left of my screen....

Not sure what to do about it makes me sad :-(

Just thought I would warn people that it seems you can burn images in to the screen.... I was using a hero theme on my phone that has the launher bar the graphic for that burned in to the bottom left of my screen.

:-(
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Wow, I thought image burn-in only effected CRTs. I'm sorry for your loss :-( What are you going to do? If it's in warranty you could probably send it to HTC.
[G1 General] GizDrak:
Yeah I am going to check the warranty and see if I can send it in for a replacement or a new screen or something.

But yeah I thought it only effected CRTs to and not LCD screens so I am not sure why it has the spot. it is weird it is a faded dark spot like that part of the screen is failing but if you look hard you can see the circle with the arrow in it like the graphic the theme I had on used nothing seems to make it go away.
[G1 General] SolemnWishing:
Actually.. I believe all our phones does this? For example, open up browser and Google, then hit home. Go outside under very very bright sunlight, and you can still see the burned in image of the browser.
[G1 General] GizDrak:
Updated I took the battery out of my phone and let it set for about 10 minutes then put it back in the image has gone away but there is still a faint dark spot in that corner. this image stayed on the screen even after doing two wipes and installing two new roms on the phone. the image only went away after leaving the battery out for 10 minutes.
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Wiping won't help with a hardware issue ;-P
[G1 General] GizDrak:
Yeah I know but I was flashing a new rom anyway figured it would not hurt anything
[G1 General] Pinesal:
LCD don't get burn in like a CRT but it does do SOMETHING less permanent that has a similar affect as burn in. I forget what it's actually called though.
[G1 General] jashsu:
It must be some other kind of damage, as it is not possible to "burn in" a lcd. There are no elements in a LCD that can be irreversibly biased toward one color due to normal usage.

This isn't burn-in, its just a characteristic of the LCD module used in the Dream.
[G1 General] RaiderX303:
it is possible on lcds to get burnin, its just not burn in, its called image persistence, it just needs the image to be on the screen alot longer than on a plasma or crt for it to occur
[G1 General] random_username_:
mabye its a dead pixel:confused:
[G1 General] rdfry:
Try using a flashlight program that sets the screen to white this should reset the colors.
[G1 General] rlee008:
i have noticed this too but i agree with RaiderX303 that its not actual burn-in but the screen's characteristics while in operation. if you let the phone sit for a short while and then go outside and look at it again, you wont see any marks or ghost images....

hoestly, its a cheap LCD screen and its to be expected...

As for the original poster... have you left the phone in direct sunlight? maybe on a window or in your car? The sun has tendencies to mark or "blot" the screens cause they heat up and leak, looks like an ink blot.... as me how i know this... LOL, either way, try changing the phone cause i dont think i would be able to live with a marked screen either :(

goodluck,

rlee
[G1 General] Paging Dr B:
thats what Pioneer does to their Kuro's and it's one hell of an idea if you havent tried it yet. But to the other posters yes LCD's arent perfect either and while it isnt called burn in, its pretty much the same thing to a lesser extent.
[G1 General] lotherius:
Dark spots on an LCD can also be "pressure points", ie, the LCD has been subjected to excessive pressure at that spot at some point, and basically it gets, in laymen terms, a "bruise"... not fully broken, but damaged. Usually happens if some the phone freezes and some yahoo that borrowed your phone decides pressing harder will make things work again.... or it pressed up against that marble in your pocket a bit too hard, etc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theoneeye:
Not really a phone thing but I found this by trial and error and swearing.

I use my EEE pc 701 just for syncing with phones and playing with roms and used N-Lite to rip a custom tiny version of XP to fit on the small ssd drive.

After a succesfull OS install I could not load active sync 4.5 for love nor money it just kept saying install interrupted. Turns out the generic NDIS driver which active sync needs to install is bundled somehow with outlook (which I ripped out) or similar thus active sync refuses to install.

If and I know it's not likely happens to you then download this file : http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?mapi32 and put it in the system and system 32 folder and active sync installs and works.

sorry if it's not helpful to the forum

I see they list the voltage as 3.7v, but the battery for the Hero is 4.2v according to the picture on the HTC accessory website (I don't have my G2 with me to check).

Just ordered one of the eBay extended batteries myself, I dont like that the cover is white but will report back how the battery performs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Velcrohead:
Mine arrived this morning, The battery indicator has been at full all day and still is.

It even still fits in my Krusell leather slip case ok as well.

I still dont like it being white but it sort of goes with the titanium of my orange branded hero.

The back cover was a perfect fit as well by the way, all the clips went in to place perfectly.

Very happy chappy so far.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] gurry:
have invested - same they only do white cases but a cross I have to bear.

will report back on life span etc.

can anyone confirm if they had to give it a full 16 hour charge or just the standard hour or so through the mains?

cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Velcrohead:
I never charge longer than the time it takes to get to full, Li-ion works completely differently to NiCd and Nimh.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] The Jones:
Could someone please give some comments on how much bigger it makes the Hero and perhaps post some pics.

[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] B1ny:
Got mine today. I guess its twice the size of the standard cover, so the phone are now about 50% thicker overall than standard if you understand. The cover fits better than my original, had some slack on the left side on that one. This one fits perfect. Noticed also that since its thicker I think its a bit better for the camera, since it will be harder for stuff to get all the way into, onto and around the camera glass. Speaker sound are the same I guess, just as crap that is :-) I think its better to hold and use now that its thicker, don't like thin phones that you have to hold with 2 fingers ;-) On the negative side I think its a bit harder to find and connect the usb plug into the phone now, since its in the "middle". With the standard cover I could just hold my fingers on the other hand behind the cover at the bottom, and help to steer the plug. I have what they call the brown phone, but now its mostly white, a bit of what HTC call brown and a bit black. Guess a lot of guys will say that it look a bit bastardish :-) But I don't care how things look as long as they work, and don't think it looks that bad either :-) Will get back to you regarding how I think the battery last when I have used it some. With the standard battery I Charged it overnight, then it was down to 15% around 4 hours later, then at 15% again around 6 hours later, and then down to 15% around 6 hours after that. And then it was night charge again. Hope that I only will have to charge the new one 1 or 2 times during the day.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] B1ny:
Another positive side I now noticed, is that its not so easy to accidentally adjust the volume, when you pick up the phone with the new thicker back cover.
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] B1ny:
I am very happy, when the standard battery is down to 15 % the 2200 mAh reports 45%. So looks like I will manage with only 1 charge during the day + overnight. Makes my day a lot easier and relaxed. It's also easier and more comfortable to use now that's it thicker. Especially the back button. Now if only someone would make a 5000 mAh one for me for Christmas........
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] twonk:

Hello all, I've got one of these batterys. Can't comment on how long it lasts yet, but have taken some photos:

In the a CDMA Battery life thread, someone has posted http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/basi17htp2.htm.

It's a 1750mAh battery, and at a cursory glance it looks like it might physically fit the GSM Hero. I know the CDMA Hero has a 1500mAh battery anyway, so it would be very useful to know if the batteries are interchangeable as this 1750mAh would definitely be of interest if, like me, you don't want a thicker battery.

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] Helbore:
Now THAT sounds interesting. If that fits the European Hero without need for a new back cover, it will definitely be on my "to purchase" list!
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] vadonald:
Not so fast

I can't remember where, but I read somewhere online that the battery in the US version of the Hero is wider than that used in the International version, so it won't fit.

Just be sure before ordering one.

this is one hell of a battery

guys..

i bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PRCU0U/ref=ox_ya_os_product and i'v had it for almost a week now..

the battery is pretty solid in terms of service/charge life. i'm calibrating mine now, and the first full charge took me a day 6 hours (thats 24+6) to get the phone to turn off by itself. this included wifi browsing for over 6 hours, which in turn included downloading a 50mb rom off xda.

i confirm this battery is a monster.

its being charged for the third time as i type, off my pc via usb. no problems there.

the battery is a cameron sino, it came with a leveled back cover (no hump)..

the size is big, noticeably, but once you get your G1 back to life, i'm sure most of you won't care about that.. besides, it fit nicely in my car holder, and i got the nokia e90 leather pouch with a belt clip, and i don't need to hold it in my hand or worry about the space it would take in my pocket.

i recommend this battery for anyone who wants to extend his battery life.

just wanted to share my thoughts
[Hero, G2 Touch Accessories] xarvox:
just to clear up the battery voltage question raised earlier in this thread;

A lithium battery (lipo/lion) can be rated both as 3,7 and 4,2v and it depends on its current charge.

a fully charged lithium battery reaches 4.25v and will go as low as 3.2v when empty.

anything outside that voltage window will damage the battery and it can burst into flames.

search burning lipo on youtube for some disturbing images :)

But 3.7v is "nominal" voltage.

i use lipo batteries in my hobby (rc electric planes), from 1 to 10 cells in series (up to 42v).

I have a HTC Touch/Vogue on US Cellular. The phone is not active and I am just playing around with it for right now. I want to just try to use it as an MP3 player right now. Not sure what WM version is on there, but it makes a difference I could check. I loaded Android 1.5 Build (dated 8-8-09). I had to switch the board selection to 3 in the default.txt to boot up. I have media in the media folder and in a different folder which adroid sees and will play in the media player. I have no sound what so ever though.

1. Hard reset from Android

2. Adjusted Volume in WM

3. Played same MP3 in WM

4. Adjusted volume in android

5. Tried to hear a ring tone in android.

All of these yielded no results. I can't seem to get the phone to make a sound. Weird thing was after a hard reset from android the vibrate started to work.

I have been searching for a while here and on other forums and can't find any solutions.

I am new to this whole thing and not sure what radio I have or how to find out. Any help is appreciated. There are more problems, but I can't even get this to work at all.
