Lucky for falling on the sync connector(not screen) and Touch HDs good construction!! :D :D
[Touch HD General] Imperium:
Good construction?

remember the 3310's ?

you could drop em of 2 stories high and re-attach the battery and cover and you were good to go.. Wouldnt want to do that to my HD..
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
good construction for a smartphone!!!!

yea 3310s were the good ones!!!

I still have a working 6210 (which was dropped from 4th floor to a concrete) only the vibration and infrared isnt working! :D
[Touch HD General] mightbme:
Good Construction????????????? Your kidding....I mean I much prefer my Blackstone to my wife's iphone but the casing is flimsier than paper machete by comparison. I would much prefer a little extra weight and a solid casing.
[Touch HD General] Kristaps-K9-Lv:
solid casing-- agree on that (cuz the phone aint going in screw when you try to bend it, but it squeaks a lot) but it is much more solid than a lot of phones that I have held in my hand(not the hardest of them, but still..) its quite solid for a device at that size , just compare it to some PDAs with screen atleast 3.5 inches large-- not all of them are solid but some are more solid---- but those all were of course my thoughts!! :)
[Touch HD General] smeddy:
Splashed it!

Ive treated my Touch HD like a puppet for the last two months, then I leave it on the table at a friend's house for five minutes while I go to the loo and some idiot splashes wine or something over it...

For a day the phone thought it had headphones plugged in, and now the power button doesn't work. Guess I should be grateful that that's all, but I kinda feel like someone plucked the leg off my new puppy :(

Appears to be no real point to this thread. Yes you dropped phone and it had a bad scuff. You haven't actually asked for anything

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] QwertyGraves:
I have an unlocked Rogers Magic running on AT&T. I have not rooted the phone, thus I am running the default software/firmware.

The phone and default image work great, with one exception. According to tools like useragent.org, my browser UAString is coded to "en-ca" (vs. what I would like it to be: "en-us"). This causes some sites to redirect to Canadian content (e.g. snapfish.com redirects to snapfish.ca), and it is driving me nuts.

I'm aware of the "about:debug" trick for faking other (but, not the above referenced portion of the string) aspects the reported User Agent. Further, I'm aware that I could download an alternate browser like Steel.

The default image and browser would be just fine for me if I could simply change what amounts to 2 characters in the User Agent string. Any ideas on the least invasive (i.e. vs rooting, new images.. etc. etc.) way of doing this? THX!

Have you tried going to settings - locale & text - Select locale and changing the language to English (United States)?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] lpasq:
sorry my reply won't help since my knowledge of android is still infantile. my rogers unit (to run an att usa) is due tomorow and hacking won't begin until surfing the device stock for a few days before "rooting" and rom swaps.

question: how branded is your interface experience? from startup screen and through the dailer, is rogers prominent?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] QwertyGraves:
Yes... I looked at 'locale & text' settings ... My options are "English" or "French".... no option for "English (United States)"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] QwertyGraves:
Branding is minimal ... Based on research, I understand that to get rid of the splash on boot, you will need to root etc etc... For me, it's nbd because it is very rare that I turn the phone completely off and on again ... There are a few Rogers 'apps' (really simple URL links) that you can't remove (again w/o rooting etc etc), but I just don't include them on my desktop
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] QwertyGraves:
Any ideas on my User Agent issue?

The disadvantages of the original Rogers ROM are adding-up:

1) Canadian user Agent

2) No Voice Search (Ugh! this one of the things I flet made a Keyboard-less phone more tolerable)

3) No ability to see/edit Custom words for type-ahead (usually found under Menu - Settings - Locale & text - User dictionary)

Assuming Rogers ever fixes any of these and send in over the air updates... will I get those using and unlocked phone on AT&T?

Hi there, hope im not startin another thread on this! but i couldnt find anything!?

Got my G1 yesterday, brought it second hand, i formatted the phone and all was working fine! had already taken some pictures and the camera was working great now however whenever i open the camera i get

process com.android.camera and needs to forced closed Ive hard resetted the phone and this has not solved the problem.

What can i do to get the camera working?? Its completely stock (that i know of) on 1.5 firmware and CRB43

Cheers

Try a wipe or reinstalling Rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Before doing complete wipe, try resetting camera to defaults (menu->setting->applications->manage applications->camera->clear data)

It will basically perform a wipe for your camera only without touching any other settings.

Good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GangOfElves:
Done and done, ive also installed RC7 still no joy, altho i am now getting a black screen sometimes and others it force closes

Possibley the camera it self maybe?

Cheers
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Do you have your apps on SD? You may have to reformat your ext2/3/4 partition. If that doesn't help - it's a hardware issue.

Unless.... Do you have any programs that utilize camera (barcode scanner, symmcam, whatever else?) they may be wrecking the chaos. Uninstall?

Good luck

How are you trying to access it? It does not work on the WM side as it does on other WM devices. If you read a bit here or at least read de user guide you will see that. But you can use it if you have managed to liberate the Snapvue side (WM) and flush it with a WM ROM.

Others will jump in to tell you to read the wiki, the manual, the many posts available here. Use the search button at your leisure. Search and shall get the truth!:D

Is this a normal thing to happen??

I have a htc hero, unlocked on O2 UK and i can not get on the marketplace at all even though i have setup a google account with the browser and everything.

Does seem strange to me.

I have moved from a HTC Diamond, and im loving this this phone, this is the only strange problem i can find,

I have read that i sometimes matters if google has registered the carrier's or something. Is this the case with O2

If you have this phone and you are on O2 let me know your experiences

Devs need to be respected for their time. Period.

I am starting with a small bounty amount for:

Port over HTC Exchange/IMAP/POP3 FULL Client to ION/Cupcake/Donut builds

Full exchange client should be able to provide two-way sync functionality as far as email, contacts and calendar is concerned.

In addition to that IMAP/POP3 - specifically HOTMAIL should be able to provide full functionality as far as email delete and email read/unread feature. *Folder syncing will be nice too*

Pl contribute anything you can if you want these features badly and want Android as a stable build that you can use for work or serious use!!!

Following is running list who have expressed written interest in PM to me, to provide bounty for this work.

1. SShark $5

----------------------

Now, some background...I love using both ion/cupcake/donut based builds and other newer builds such as Rogers and Hero ones. Obviously each of them have pros and cons.

Folks such as and not limited to dzo, vilrod, craigr0, mssmison, zen have put countless number of hours to get to an exciting stage of where we are today.

I am sure all these fanatics will continue to work on this great work no matter what! But, I thought they could be rewarded for something little for motivation. Hence the bounty. This bounty system has worked well on other parts of the site, so why not here.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] GGW69:
For the past several months my Kaiser (ATT Tilt) has occasionally rebooted itself for no apparent reason. Perhaps every couple of weeks or so. Recently it's been doing it more often and the past few days several times per day. Sometimes it'll reboot within seconds of Windows loading and may take 4 or 5 reboots to be able to send a text or make a call. This one is still running stock from ATT:

ROM	1.57.502.2

Date	8/25/2007

Radio	1.27.12.11

Protocol	22.45.88.07H

CE OS:	5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

Any ideas? Battery level looks fine. Memory going bad? SIM bad? Kaiser bad?

Thanks,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WillardZ:
Pull out the battery and clean the contacts on the battery and those of the Tilt. Hope that helps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] scousemartin:
try flashing the stock rom again, make sure you sync it up before hand and reflash the att rom. Also as an added measure once its setup the customisation, i would clear storage and set it up again. I do that and have no problems afterwards.

hope that fixes it for you

Hi all.

I've installed WM 6.5 with HTC EzInput 1.5 LPack-PT RC1 (Portuguese)

Anyone knows the cause of this ? Any solution ?

Dear All,

I am one happy customer with my HTC hero, except the following:

1. When accessing gmail, some email message was clipped (...) not completed or truncated. Is there anyway or setting to correct this? Apart from setting up another POP mail ?

2. What's the best way to copy and paste email contents (since when you try to forward a email, the original content of the forwarded email was split into another section, which you cannot EDIT.) You will have to first copy the message and then paste it to the "Composed box". Which I find it very frustrating. A lot of time, when the email content is long, you can only copy bit and pieces of the content.

If anyone know any of the above solutions, would really appreciated it to share with us.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] TenaciousT:
Hi there guys :).

I've been searching and searching, and trying and trying, but I can't seem to get past this Error [262] when I'm trying to upgrade my ROM or Radio (HTC Diamond).

What I'm doing is this basically:

I downloaded DiamonCustomRUU.exe, put it in a folder with the radio/rom (say Diamond_Radio_1.00.25.05.nbh), I connect my HTC Diamond to my pc via usb, activesync is on, I start up the RUU, go through all the steps, then at the end when the update 'starts', my phone goes off, starts up in the 4 coloured screen, activesync stops, then my phonescreen turns grey with the progress bar (stuck at 0%), and on my laptop there's a progress bar as well. It does nothing, and after about 5 minutes, I get the Error [262].

I reinstalled Activesync, but no changes. I installed HardSPLL though. I tried another USB-port, doing it without my firewall on (someone suggested it, yes I'm desperate)... I have no idea where to go from here.

Can anyone help? (sorry if this is the wrong section..)

Love

[Hero, G2 Touch General] kiz:
This is my first phone with a capacitive screen, so perhaps it is a quirk of them, but I have noticed that if I am not holding the phone in such a way that I am touching the metal bezel, the screen does not recognise touches that are close to the edges of the screen. It seems that the screen requires a circuit to be made with other metal parts on the phone before recognising the touch.

For example, if I put the phone on my desk and touch the backspace key with a single finger, nothing happens. If I keep holding my finger on it, and touch the metal bezel, hey presto, the button clicks.

This reminds me of a watch a friend of mine had a long time ago, that had a capacitive "hair trigger" button that only worked for him (because it required a circuit to be made with the back face of the watch, meaning when he pressed the button it completed a circuit through his body)

Anyone else noticed this? It is slightly annoying because I have to hold the bezel when I want to use the phone..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Thiesen:
Confirmed.

And you might very well be correct in the assumption about the circuit not closing in every part of the screen. I think it's the nature of any capacitive surface tbh. If you press in the middle of the screen then there is enough adjecent space to actually complete the circuit while on the edges there is simply not enough space around your fingertip to not close the circuit at all. That is why touching the bezel works.

But as I have been holding my little Hero in my hand while typing anything I simply didn't know this little odd thing. I have read about it though.

Yet another reason to hold your precious little Hero in your hand... :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Wierd not like that on my samsung.. its all plastic tho :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tomstacey:
Mine is the same.. especially on the right hand side of the screen. If it's in a case it makes it really bad!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Sounds like bad shileding and grounding to me
[Hero, G2 Touch General] herman3101:
Didn't notice this until I put a screen protector on but now it's really bugging me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
On a related note (metal bezel related), I've noticed that in dim lighting the button backlight flickers. But if i touch the screen and bezel, it stops.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Nemo0815:
Same here. Could it be that the screen protector slightly touches the aluminium casing and thus grounding the screen (or creating a wrong potential)?

I noticed that when i touch (=ground) the outer aluminum frame with just one single finger then the touch screen works flawlessly.

(I'm using the offical HTC screen protector).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Hmm definatly bad grounding issue. Its either some pretty poor design or a defect.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] c3k:
i confrim, using hero without touch the metal edge result in less responsivity and difficult on multitouch operation

hope new firmware can solve this, too many errors using it like a normal keyboard on a table!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addiosamigo:
Thanks to all you guys on here I have a rooted g1, cyanogen Rom, recovery and a partitioned sd card!

So thanks, couldn't have done it without you! :)

Now a few quick questions:

My rom is running a lil slow. I've got a 2gb sd card with a 500mb apps2sd partition. Can I speed it up if I take some of that memory and create a swap cache?

If so can I do this without erasing any data? I used parted.

Secondly can I install the htc widgets on the g1 or do they have to be ported (I installed the mail widget but I didn't show up in the widgets)

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
First things first.. You cannot install hero widgets unless you run hero. By the time you import libraries and adjust framework to run the widgets you going to end-up with pretty much hero build

As for the slugginess: Tell us about your set-up: how many widgets do you run, what's running in your background, etc. Too many widgets will slow the system down.

What class is your sd card? Anything less then class 6 will have negative effects on the speed if you're doing apps2sd, swap or comcache.

Last, but not least: It has been recently discovered that "Wireless network location" and "GPS location" will slow the **** out your system. Turn them off in the settings and watch how your phone comes back to life instatnly (look in Cyan's experimental thread for more info on that). Also, uninstall any programs that use location (ie Sherpa, weather apps, etc). Now it is perfectly fine to use gps and wireless network location when you need to use them... just don't let any program use it constantly and you should be fine.

Good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addiosamigo:
