[Touch HD General] CanaganD:
So I've got the problem where when my phone is off/standby I don't get a notification or alert until I turn the phone on at which point it plays the standard alert and vibrate (this is of course useless).

Playing around and I noticed that this problem goes away when I uncheck the setting 'Turn device off after X mins'.

Now, at first I assume that there were 3 modes on the HD (and presumably on all htc phones) and they are: Power off, standby, on. Those states seem self explanitory. Give that assumption, I always thought that there was just a problem with the sms program doing a notification.

With this new solution, ie, disabling auto turn off, all my text messages come through with a notification within 6 seconds of sending it on the other end. But I played around with it some more. Some of you may know of a program called psshutxp. This program can do three things: display off, turn off, and reset. Now I never used this turn off feature before because I assumed it just turned the phone off. I activated this function with the auto turn off setting disabled (the phone doesn't auto turn off) and end up not receiving messages (exactly like the original problem).

What I've concluded then is that the device actually has 4 states: Power off, standby, display off, on. Now if you read the whole thing you may have noticed that I'm implying the solution is to disable auto off and thus leave the device in what would appear to be 'display off' mode. It works, certainly, but I'm starting to think that battery life is going to suffer immensely. (I'm going to test this tonight)

It seems we're back to square one, but wth a little, and albiet minor conclusion: SMS messages should wake the device but leave the screen off. There have been some intermediate solutions that say to change the 'disable device wake on sms' registry from 1 to 0 or use HD tweak to achieve a similar effect then combine this change with a good screen locker.

My question then is, is it possible to wake the device but leave the screen off via registry or via resident program?

Investigating the resident program option some more, is it possible to run compact framework programs while the device is in standby?

Finally, I know that the Touch Diamond 2 had a recent hotfix for this exact issue. Considering the similarities between the two devices, is it possible to port a solution? I'm going to see if I can try it out myself (but I'm not as experienced at platform modifications as I am in software development). I also noticed that a lot of Diamond 2 users still report the problem wasn't solved with that hotfix.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
check out the HD Tweak app, i think it has a "wake on SMS" tweak you can apply to the phone. would also help if you mention if you're using a Stock or custom ROM. in my case, i'm using a custom ROM with SMS Chat and i'm gettting SMS notifications with my device in stand-by mode. fyi, i'm not using the HD Tweak app...
[Touch HD General] CanaganD:
Yeah, the Wake on SMS on HD tweak as mentioned in my post basically modifies the registry for device wake on SMS.

However, this is not, and should not be normal behaviour as waking the device turns the screen on as well. (unless your device is different in that it doesn't turn on the screen at the same time as waking up from a SMS, if this is the case, then... that's a pretty significant finding.)
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
just tested my device... screen is off (e.g., hit the power button to turn it off) sent myself a txt via my email account, heard the SMS notification and screen is still off. i'm using a custom ROM miri v26.2.
[Touch HD General] CanaganD:
I can achieve the same effect by disabling auto turn off. As in: my device remains off and the SMS notification is properly sounded. (everything works as it should)

However, I worry that the device isn't actually in standby and rather just has the display off (which means that background apps are still running). A possible concequence could be that it would drain my batt pretty fast ( this is my cheif concern).

Hi.

I have recently aquired an audiobook, and as there is already the option to listen to MP3 on the G1 I was sure there would be no problem at all.

However after moving the book to the SD card and listening to a few chapters, I took a break, and when i wanted to resume the listening i saw to my surprise that i could only "fast forward" 2 minutes and 54 Seconds on the built in player.

The other option was to click on >> but that would move to the next MP3 file.

I tried to download several other players from the Market, however all of them can only forward 2 minutes and 54 second.... soo my question is, is Audiobooks and other long MP3 files a lost case on the G1 ??

I would really hate to go buy an mp3 player for a problem which should be so simple.

Hope anyone has a hint to what i might be doing wrong.

Best regards
[G1 Apps and Games] Karolis:
Get SnoggDoggler, create a virtual feed for your audio book, and it will remember where you've left-off last time. Plus it allows you to fast-forward more than 2 minutes.
[G1 Apps and Games] psico27:
I tried the program you mentioned. Unfortunately the same problem exist in that one. It cannot handle MP3's with the length of Audio Books.

It keeps saying unknown length and it can only fast forward a few minutes depending on which of the files it reads.

Im getting really tired of this G1 problem :-(
[G1 Apps and Games] brummiesteven:
Just tried with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" 5:01, was able to forward to the end.

Same for "Happy Ending" by mika, 10:21 because it has some "hidden track" on the end, was able to forward to the end.

Dunno what's wrong with your application lol, what rom are you using?
[G1 Apps and Games] jashsu:
Same. Opened Weezer - Only in Dreams (7:59) and was able to arbitrarily seek to any location in the track. Good luck!

Edit: The epic crescendo on this song never gets old.

Guys,

Hope someone can help I have been able to map the home screen soft keys used SSMaPa to replace poutlook.exe with iContact.exe and this works now from the program launch.

My issue is in phone dialer screen you get a soft Key (left) that says contact this does not launch iContact.

Is it possible to map this softkey to iContact.

Many thanks for taking time to read his post and if you can help great.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I'm confused....

I have a few questions before we start you on the journey to getting you rooted.

Firstly, am I understanding things correctly when I assume that you have already flashed DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) onto your phone and can't get past the setup screen?

Secondly, you say that you have data service, but then say that you didn't have enough "bars" so you headed up the street for more "bars". Are you sure you have data service because the bars on the phone have to do with cell reception and have nothing to do with data service.....

Thirdly, are you on 3G or EDGE in your area?

If you do indeed have a data plan for sure, then other than a crappy 3G or EDGE signal, there really shouldn't be a reason for the error message your getting other than google's servers might actually be experiencing difficulty. No way to know for sure.

If/when you are able to get past the login screen to root, go to this link

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingTasty:
I have bad service...

Yes, after flashing RC29 onto it I can't hook my google account up to my phone. I've got EDGE in my area, checking t-mobile's service map though I found that it's really bad right where I live. Until I can head out to somewhere with some good service any ideas on how to get he wifi act. to work?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
If you cannot get adb working properly, then you cannot use JF's method to bypass the signin screen therefore you just have to wait until you can get to a better service area.

Your two choices are: bypass the signin screen or sign in over the network. You can't sign in over the network as previously stated by you, and you cannot bypass the signin screen because you can't get adb working. There is no way to setup wifi within android if you are stuck at the signin screen:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingTasty:
but wait?

There must be someway to activate ADB, because if there's not then isn't a guide activating through wifi pointless?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
There are plenty of guides on how to get adb working... its just so happens that you reported that you can't figure it out. If you can't figure it out and get it working, then you can't use the sign in screen work around as outlined in JF's post.

The very first step in JF's work around is

Since you can't do that, you can't do the work around. Try reading up more on adb and see if you can get it working.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingTasty:
Couple questions

I've basically fixed all the problems I was having that needed to be fixed to use ADB except for one. According to every guide I need USB Debugging enabled, My questions is how did others achieve this with being activated?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florevil:
OMG help me too i have the same problem !!!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I know for a fact there that I saw some terminal command not too long ago to be able to activate usb debugging from the command line. I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it, but if you can be patient, I may be able to find it eventually.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingTasty:
Just keep checking back here and see where we get, hopefully we can figure it out.

@DirectMatrix:

The command is <enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter> and you enter it in your phone, but that only works with RC28 I think. Or does the RC29 have the hidden shell also? The reason I'm thinking it doesn't is because when I type <enter>reboot<enter> nothing happens. The only things I can think of is that I'm on the wrong screen when typing or the RC29 I'm using is messed up.

I'm on the very first screen when registering, where the it says touch the android to begin. btw, thanks for all the help so far
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
RC29 has the hidden shell also which is what allows the telnetd command to be entered to start the rooting process. It sounds like when you enter the reboot command at the welcome screen you should be getting a reboot because you said you installed RC29. It also sounds like your doing the commands in the correct spot but just to recap, you should be at the "touch the android to begin" screen, once there, just slide out the keyboard, hit enter, type reboot, hit enter again and the phone should reboot.

What happens if you keep trying to follow JF's guide even though you can't get the reboot to work? Have you made any promising progress with steps after the A few tips and tricks section?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingTasty:
I flashed it again, and reboot works now. I don't know what was wrong before. I'll try the "setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1" again. Just to be clear, after typing that nothing happens right? and I'll go check the tips and tricks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Glad to hear it and yes, your right, nothing that you can see will happen. Essentially what it is doing is executing the command behind the scenes same as would happen if you were to hit the check box next to usb debugging if you were able to.

The way you will see if it worked is you should be able to open up a command prompt assuming your a windows user and type:

adb devices

You should see a device listed something like HT.........

Lemme know if you have anymore problems
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingTasty:
Still nothing.

I tried but I don't think it worked, but it may have. The problem could be my drivers so I followed this.

I did that but every time I plug my g1 back one it makes a new one, calling it USB Mass Storage Device. I keep deleting it but it keeps coming back every time.

Here's what I got in cmd.

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

C:\Documents and Settings\Tyler>cd C:\android-sdk-windows-1.5_r3\tools

I'm not really sure what to do now... I guess I keep trying to see if it'll work. Meanwhile, what do you think?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
King,

PM me your contact info and I'll try to troubleshoot this with you. I did it the old fashion way without any programs and I think I remember my steps so I just have to walk through it again.

You could also try this adb tutorial, thats the one I used and would use if I were to walk you through it.

Alright yeh, sounds good.

Gimme like 20 min, I'm gonna go grab something to eat quick.

Take a look here though, I uploaded what re appears every time I plug in my g1. Something must have been turned on or changed be cause now 3 new drivers appear every time instead of just one.

But still no luck in cmd, so something is still wrong...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapemiken:
Hi! I have the same problem too. There're a lot of tutors online but they are just copy and paste from each others. I did pass by the first time via wifi when I root my G1 but cann't the second time rooting my girlfriend's.

The USB driver that window or HTC using before works on vista and only see the device as ADB composite deivce, but not anymore, Windows now recognized the devices as ADB composite device

AND

mass storage. I don't know about XP. and don't know what to do about it :(

I think that's why I can not enable ADB on G1 by typing "setprop....enable 1"

Anybody help? Offering your Tmo SIM card for 5 mins? I am at Dallas. Txt me@ #469-759-9897 Really need it PLZ
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torchedlh:
I guess this is obvious but I just want to clarify: Everytime you flash the rom you need to re-activate the phone? Or is activation only a one time requirement?

I just purchased a used, tmobile g1 (from the US) and am hoping to root it and flash SuperD's wrong as soon as I get it. However, the problem is I obviously don't have a Tmobile SIM and I don't have a data connection on my local sim card.

Do I have to go through these ADB steps to activate the phone? Thanks!

Yeh, I know i have done this a few times but you really didn't need a new post for this. there are already alot of posts and a simple search would have found. But anyway

On your device since you have used the one click method you are able to install different roms using a security loop hole of the kernal. How ever you are still running the "perfected" spl so you are not going to be able to do that using the method that you did. If you want the other recovery image on your device you will need to do the gold card method that Amon_ra had posted. It is not as complicated as it looks. but that will get you what you are looking for.

I have tried to install it and managed to get point UI working but when I installed the pointsense theme it crashed and wouldn't complete the install, now it won't uninstall because not all the files are there, and it can't be deleted, i've tried total commander and memaid to get rid of it and the theme folders just won't budge, it stops any reinstall and then stops the pointUI program working, i've tried to clean out related registry files using memaid but and i can't find any reference to the files using file explorer or total commander but when I search for installed apps using memaid once again the "blueOcean" theme folder is there, the folders inside are ALL empty but I can't delete them.

it's basically left a bunch of locked dead folders on my phone that mean point UI won't work properly again. I don't want to hard reset so I'm not very happy about the screw up, i'm not getting anywhere on the pointui forum with this either.

thanks mate, i'm going to wait to see how they develop it over the next week or so, i think the bugs and crashes are more the theme than the point Ui app. it's been designed very quickly and released quick too.

I will continue to try to delete the BlueOcean folders, I don't want to hard reset yet as it's taken a while to get HTC's TF2 to look how I like it and to get rid of the annoying Vodafone look.
