[General Questions and Answers] 'Reen:
The box my phone came in says HTC621. When I do searches on it there is so many names that look the same. 620, dash, t-mobile, excaliber.......

Are all these referring to the exact same phone and I can rely that the comments will do the same for my phone?
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Have a look on Excalibur section, that´s your device with all this names:

HTC S620 / HTC S621 / Rogers & HTC S621 / Dopod C720W / Dopod C720 / T-Mobile Dash / T-Mobile MDA Mail / O2 Xda Cosmo / Orange SPV E600

Also have a look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Excalibur

Good luck,

I heard that 3g does not work in the USA with the hero. But when i look at the specs for the phone(below) its like the exact same as the g1 (besides added 900 for hspa). So does 3g work in usa?

Network	HSPA/WCDMA:

*

900/2100 MHz

*

Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

*

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

(Band frequency and data speed are operator dependent.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Check the official stats for the European version:

http://www.htc.com/www/product/hero/specification.html

HSPA/WCDMA:

•900/2100 MHz

T-Mobile uses 1700Mhz, so that won't work. AT&T uses 850Mhz and 1900Mhz so that won't work.

The 850/900/1800/1900 MHz bands mentioned are for GSM. So Yeah GPRS/Edge will work.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gavb:
Yes. But why do you mention Kaiser in your first post?

Follow the link in post 2 above and read all of that thread before you start to flash.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] abubakar:
He said he downloaded the kaiser one for his touch hd. Seems like a bad move..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] lunakirb:
man! blackstone is for blackstone,

if you have blackstone and u want to upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5 roms use the appropriate H-SPL Read the post # 2 aswell

what are u doing on kaeser forum and downloading stuff not meant for ur device:confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
Only flash roms meant for the HD onto the HD. Do not under any circumstances flash a rom from another device onto your HD. Chances are there will be incompatibility issues with software/hardware and you may end up bricking your device.

For guidance on flashing please refer to the wiki and also this guide.

Any further queries on flashing should be posted in this guide.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] hawkhorrow:
Is there a way to open cokemans unlocker and bootloader without using the power button? My vogue broke the button and of course i ordered a new one... I am planning to make the old one a standalone gps unit but first need to fix the software because the gps is locked from previous customizations running. Since the power button is broken, i am having difficulty now loading the unlocker (shoudve thought about this b4 loading the non gps 0.41). I am doing these steps first to make sure that I know exactly what will happen when i try it with my new replacement vogue. On a side note, my new replacement is running rom 3.14.605.1 and radio 3.37.78. Does anyone know if the gps will work when i flash to NSFmans v13 6.5 rom? or should i downgrade the rom, go through the entire process located here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533639)? another question, anyone really think i will need to up the radio to 3.42 someodd? Thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] spuzzum:
download the rom and put the unlocker.exe on your memory card.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] jlechner:
Taking the device apart is very easy too. I don't have a link, but google it and you will get plenty of hits. Could just be a bent prong.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ludester:
how the heck are you turning on the phone without a power button?

I broke the power button on my htc vogue, its sitting in front of me until I can find someone to repair it. I've taken it apart and know the problem but can't repair it my self.

Picked up another vogue for the time being.

Let me know how you are turning the phone on without a functioning power button so I can give it a try.

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] spuzzum:
make sure phone is charged.

insert stylus into hole to the right of the usb slot.

hold for 3 seconds(soft reset)

phone is on
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] zboyles:
Mine too

I'm another user with a broken power button and also use the reset button. Once up don't ever allow the screen to turn off in the settings. If for some reason it does turn off you'll either have to perform a soft reset or call it from another phone.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Daved+:
I am also on my way to make my Vogue an standalone GPS device but without the PDE service it's not reliable at all, let me know how it turns out for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
As everyone may know already, while in a call when we put our ears to the ear piece the screen turns off, but when taking the phone away from the ear to look at the phone the light sensor detects it and lights up the screen.

My question is does everyone's phone go back to the TF3D homescreen when looking at the phone during a call, such as when you want to press number selections during voice prompts? Mine goes back to the TF3D homscreen everytime, and doesn't stay on the call status screen unless I physcially press the phone icon. I find this annoying especially when I need to input number selections. Anyone else experience this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] clin0420:
Nevermind, I found the solution and that is to turn off the password lock feature on the phone, and the phone stopped reverting back to the TF3D home screen during calls....must be a glitch...Blah...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Barina:
hi all

inspired from this video i managed to create one of my own

its a simple 4 image combined fan

what you actually see is that fan spinning :)

i upload the images so you understand...

this is the android-logo-mask.png(if you cannot see just download it to your pc and open with photoshop)

and this is the android-logo-shine.png

the android-logo-mask.png image its our fan.. it wont move from is position

the android-logo-shine.png image is the lines that create the animation - it has to move!

i added these to framework-res.apk resign and all that reboot my phone and this is the result!

its work perfect..! well its a really lame animation but imagine what you can do with it :)

Especially if we can control the speed of android-logo-shine.png

regards

Roy

update:

well i just bring here this idea you can use it for a more complex animations or if one of the developers here can manage to control the speed of the "android-logo-shine.png" file it will be great

use this images to guide you and if you want the PSD just PM me its more understandable..

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Ted417:
Its so confusing!!!! O_O... lol how does that work?... its super cool... :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] mohsinkhan47:
If you use your g1 and move the pictures it gives that affect. Nice job way to go might use your idea if it isn't wrong with...ok???? Pm at mohsinwithglasses@gmail.com
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Barina:
well divided the image to 4 vertical lines that representing each frame in the animation (in our case its 4 frames :) )

the three first lines are blocked with a full black line that prevents us from see the three other frames

the 4th line are empty and seethrough so we can see only one frame each time

then when we move the image with the lines a little sideways the animation reveals
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Barina:
ok man feel free :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] prash:
Awesome idea op! I loved that book. Great job though..really innovative thinking with limited material we have to work with.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Ted417:
hmmm... I see... so the effect should actually slow down if you divided the image to 8 vertical lines... just make the 4 vertical lines twice as wide... especially if you seperated it to 12... which would make the 4 lines 3 times as wide... not sure if that will fit on the G1 screen though :D... this was a very nifty Idea... I wonder what I can come up with with this idea... hmmmmmm :)... thanks for sharing this with us ;)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] prash:
For those that wants to see this in action without downloading or installing it do this:

Open this thread on a PC

Click and drag the 'lines' image over the fan image

move it back and forth

You'll see the intended effect on most browsers that support drag and dropping images with picture preview.

Of course if you're fancy, you can just put the first image on top layer in photoshop and the second image on bottom and move the second (bottom layer) that way.

Looks awesome :]
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Barina:
it wont slow down it will remain consistent but the black lines will be thicker and look not so good..

ofcourse the 4 lines repeat itself :P

good idea i just tried it on Firefox
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] innerspace:
ok smart guy... i gotta give you props. I would've never thought of that. A simple effective solution. Well played sir!
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] rgbmode:
HAHA :eek: ... it is possible I was thinking about doing this from looking at my kids books it is a Zebra animation effect. In which the Vertical lines go over dots/lines it generates a movement/animation effect. http://flashfabrica.com/f_mov_obj/slitAnime/e_horse.html <= running horse. There are so many. And it is not hard to do I need to find the link to the software that enables this to be done with white and black images. Yet I don't have a lot of time at my hands due to work fulltime, go to school fulltime, and have a wife and kids all the other times. :D

EDIT: the animation technique is called SLIT ANIMATION google there are endless posibilities there is even a double slit animation technique.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Barina:
oh thanks good to know! slit animation... :D

i recommended using Photoshop :)

yeah a running horse carrying the G1 symbol would be cool
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] raminna:

This looks really cool but also confusing to do at the same time ill try it since I have photoshop :D
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ffff00:
Wow, just saw the running horse image.

It's a little complicated, but we'll no doubt see some cool stuff with this technique.

HOW TO:

I stand corrected after looking at my kids book titled GALLOP the actual title for this technique is called scanimation this will make it easier to find how to:

How to video and link to a small program to make these types of animation:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaoptimus:
I got so excited about all this talk about roms and what not (Yes, I'm new here and haven't gotten a G1 yet) and completely forgot about the whole activate and unlock thing. I've been spoiled by how easy the iphone modders have made it but I'm not unwilling or unable to do it the hard way. Presently I have an unlocked iphone that I'm using for my prepaid tmobile sim, works fine. From what I've read around here, I'll need a data plan (the easy way) to activate the phone or will need RC29 or downgrade to RC29 and use adb to bypass activation. For some reason, I just assumed that all this flashing and coding frenzy would take care of the activation but I see that is not the case. If I'm mistaken or something has recently changed, please correct me. Otherwise, I'll expect to do some fiddling in getting the activation to work over wifi. Once it is done, will I need to do this every time I wipe and re-flash or just when I wipe and flash to stock?

I had considered getting a 2-year contract in getting the G1 (or the mytouch) but I prefer no contract since I don't use voice or data enough to justify the monthly cost.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
If you don't plan on getting a dataplan (for example if you want to primarily run on wifi), I suggest you flash an ADP1-based build when you've acquired root. ADP1-based builds have an option on the Google sign-in screen to bypass sign-in. That way you can get into the settings and set up your wifi without having to fiddle with the adb-based activation bypass methods.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaoptimus:
Ah..I'm not read enough about this subject to know which builds are ADP1 based but I'm sure it's not hard to discover. Also, I did read (but I would like to hear some confirming reports) of being able to activate the phone with a prepaid tomobile sim, I figured that was the case at first but there seemed to be more of a consensus that a data plan was required for activation.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CompactDstrxion:
Just use adb and activate through wifi
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
trust me, its easier than it looks. It may be intimidating at first, but its not too hard as long as you follow the directions
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaoptimus:
No doubt, a lot of things seem much more involved when ya gotta write it down for others. I presume once it is activated that the prepaid sim will work without having to unlock since it is a tmo sim.

[Wing, P4350 General] nationalicon:
When my Herald phone is on, near computer or stereo speakers that are on, periodically there is a loud digital clicking sound coming through the speakers. When connected to EDGE the clicking is constant. I always need to turn off the data connection every time I'm near a computer or stereo. It also makes it impossible to stream media over EDGE and listen through stereo speakers.

It sounds like you can hear the data transfer in the speakers. I don't have this problem with other wireless or 3G phones. Changing radio version doesn't seem to make a difference. I used 03.18.90 and 03.21.90.

Is this normal and I should just live with it? Does anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?
[Wing, P4350 General] rstweb:
Live with it. You can't do anything against it.

The Wing shouldn't cause such electromagnetic induction (it was an annoying problem with older cellular phones), but it is "normal". But you can isolate your wires from the speakers and/or headphones with some aluminium foil, but this doesn't looks so good...
[Wing, P4350 General] ashasaur:
Yeah, in my experience it happens with pretty much all mobile phones. Both my Wing and my Shadow do it when I am either recieveing data or about to get a call or text or whatever. I find it sorta usefull to be honest, that way im not scared when my phone rings and im not paying attention!

doesn't matter if i add the picture on the phone, or if i do it to outlook contact. every single time it gets cropped.

Now that there's an official TmoUS device out with the new 3G radio, is it now possible to swipe, modify, and apply to HD? I remember a thread about someone being told by an htc rep that the special bandwidth used by the new 3G that Tmobile uses in the US was strictly software and not hardware. If so, can that radio can possibly be ported to the HD and allow for 3G reception in the US. Everyone chime in with your thoughts.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nerd1:
from what I have read, its hardware related.

the ROMs I'm using do not have the 850MHz band for 3G, yet when I select Auto, it will roam onto the 850 band automatically.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] DRTigerlilly:
It is hardware the t8282 doesn't have the 850mhz amplifiers, the t8285 does, which is why nerd1 can pick up the 850 band.
