Easyy, TP2 (would be) around $1200 in here.. =)))

Wish you a happy life with your iPhone.

hey.. Where can I find "all" those tricks to get my Kaiser faster btw? There's not a general topic saying "get it fast" and and I can't make a accurate search since I don't know what makes it faster?

quite off topic.. hope someone can tolerate and help =)

bye mate =)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Tilt is bulky and slow compared.

Tilt music and video play back suck, if you can get video working at all

Internet access and browsing is slow and clunky compared.

Can't play my DRM itunes library on Tilt.

Tilt can be "fixed" for all of this , but 3Gs out of the box does it all,

Both your list and mine go on and on, which is why I have both.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
The cool thing about the tilt was that 2 years ago it did pretty much everything the newer iphone do now. When the tilt hit the stands the iphone was only edge, it had no gps etc.

The tilt can go to all the nice flash pr0n site, the iphone only gets one.

the iphone is smooth and it just feels like something from the future.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ankn:
Dears,

I'm using the last Cyanogen and I would remove some applications that stay in /system/app. I know that I can do this just with:

- rm /system/app/NAME.apk

- rm -r /data/data/NAME

but in this way the application data remains in /data/system/packages.xml: I don't want to manually change this file. Is there a more clean and automatic way to do that?

For the applications in /data/app, I can use 'adb uninstall NAME' but it seems that is not appliable to the ones in /system/app. Even after a 'adb remount'.

Any suggestions?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxisma:
Just delete them.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] farbird:
anyone knows?

i wanna get rid of the default IM.. and amazon mp3
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxisma:
I repeat myself: Just delete them.

It isn't dangerous or "unclean".
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Loccy:
Just be a little aware that some apps might seem superfluous, but actually do things other than the part you see. For example, you can't delete the stock Mms.apk and use ChompSMS as your sole SMS application - the stock app also contains the framework for the device to receive SMSes at all. I would rename files rather than deleting them, i.e.

mv thingyouwanttodelete.apk thingyouwanttodelete.old

rather than

rm thingyouwanttodelete.apk

because you can always then put it back afterwards if you find something doesn't work afterwards.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] njakobs:
I think Cyanogen latest rom has the system app's folder as read only. So you would need to remount the drive as Rewriteable to make any changes to the files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] farbird:
what are the steps to remount as rw?

chmod +rw?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] radonsg:
-bash-3.2$ ./adb remount

remount succeeded

adb remount - remounts the /system partition on the device read-write

adb root - restarts adb with root permissions

I used a simple app to monitor call time (with auto monthly reset) on my jasjam. Having replaced it with a TP2 I thought I'd have a poke around for something better.

After not finding anything elce it took me AGES to remember the name of the app i was using before! (jasjam was sold allready so i couldn't check)

It was Battery Status - http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-batterystatus-v1-04-203.html

which is now superseeded by HomeScreen PlusPlus (funky NameName) - http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_im_cs.htm

Basically I just want all the contacts from Sim Manager only to be viewed in the contacts screen. How can I do it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
sync with outlook delete all live contacts

sync again with the setting make the pda like windows option

first backup outlook's pst file to be sure

Im sorry if this has been posted (and im assuming it has) but I could not find what i'm looking for.

I rooted my phone using Recovery Flasher and installed CyanogenMod v4.0.1 and now I'm wondering how I can flash my phone back to the factory default US T-Mobile MyTouch 3G ROM? (For Warranty reasons if I ever need to send it in)

I figured I could download the ROM located here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=533641

and just rename it to update.zip and flash the phone in the recovery mode. Would that work?

Also i cannot enable the HTC keyboard I have selected Touch Input but the default android keyboard still pops up? There is no option to dissable the android keyboard?

One last question since I have the MyTouch which has 256MB ROM for apps would it be worth it to even use Apps2SD?
[General Questions and Answers] broken89:
can anyone help??
[General Questions and Answers] dlow123:
You will want to reboot into the Recovery Mode, and restore the Nandroid backup (You should have made this when you first went to install the Cyanogen Rom). As long as you haven't made another Nandroid backup, then your factory backup should be the latest one.

Once the restore is done, reboot your phone and let it load into the factory android install.

You will then need to open the Recovery Flasher App and restore the backup Recovery Partition that you should have created when you first made use of the Recovery Flasher app.

Hopefully this makes sense. You can also check: www.theunlockr.com

For video instructions.

Hope this helps?
[General Questions and Answers] broken89:
Well unfortunately I never made a Nandroid backup i just followed the tutorial from lifehacker which seems like a mistake now.

http://lifehacker.com/5342237/five-great-reasons-to-root-your-android-phone

The only backup that I did make was with Recovery Flasher and im guessing that was just a backup for recovery mode and root.

So am I completely screwed?

I know this thread is somewhat old but i just need a quick question answered.

If I restore the phone using the tutorial that has been posted will I be able to get Over The Air updates?
[General Questions and Answers] TeckniX:
You should be able to....

If you're on T-Mo (may work for others), you can do the following:

To make your Android phone "Check In" for the latest software, follow the steps below:

Important note: Developer, non-T-Mobile software versions and rooted devices cannot receive the Over The Air (OTA) update.

1. Go to the homescreen.

2. Tap on Dialer - to open the dialer screen.

3. From the dialer type *#*#checkin#*#* (that is *#*#2432546#*#*)

4. If the ‘checkin' is successful, the device will display "checkin result success"

Note: Checkin results may take up to 12 hours to display

5. Return to the homescreen.

6. Press the Menu key.

7. Select Settings.

8. Scroll down, and select About phone.

9. Select System updates.

10. If an update is available, you should see the update downloading.

11. When the download is complete, you will be prompted to Install (now or later)

12. If you chose not to install, you will be reminded every 2 hours.

Skype doesn't support video conferencing on winmo.... is there any easy to use alternative?
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
it's purpos is video calls

though in some parts of the world

phone companys don't offer that service

and even where it's supported it dont really think it's

being used by too many people
[Touch HD General] c_lee:
Agree with Rudegar - the problem is that where video calling is available, it tend to cost a fortune even on a service plan, hence people avoid it. Until operators make voice and MM calls the same price, it'll mostly be another gimmick on the phone specs list.

Though (and I say this with authority) it's essential for checking your makeup. :p
[Touch HD General] alexnathan345:
Lucky Britons

Here in the UK video calling costs the same as voice calls if you're on O2 - and they're even included in your minutes. However, you'll need good 3G coverage for video calling to work and this isn't easy with the patchy and overloaded O2 network...
[Touch HD General] gregy74:

Hey all,,,

I no longer have a touch pro to test this on but my buddy asked if there was a way to prevent his background image from looking grainy when he disables touch flo?

Could some one test this? Does the background image actually get grainy when touchflo is disabled?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] xboomer55:
Touchflo uses a different background image than the standard windows today screen. When Touchflo is turned off, the windows today screen image will be displayed. The today screen image is contained in the selected theme or can be selected by the user. Some themes just display a blank screen.

Go to Start - Settings - Personal

Select Today

In the appearance tab, there is an option to use another image (picture) as the background. For best results, choose a (.jpg file) image file sized to 480 x 640 pixels (VGA). Any image or photo editing program can be used to crop or edit an image for use on the phone. Put the desired image file in the phone's My Pictures folder (or anywhere else that can be browsed to).

There are themes and background images freely available on this forum and elsewhere.

Hi all

I just bought a second hand TYTN II running WM 6 and entered my serial number on HTC's website for an upgrade to 6.5. It refused, is this because the phone cannot support it or just that they won't give it to you for free?

Also I like the touch flo of the new phones the iphonesk cubes, will that run on early WM and touch flo.

Thanks in advance

Just as addition 6.5 will never be official for Kaiser as it's an older device, so the only was is by using the forum section linked above & using custom ROMs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] antonis9891:
Hi. I have a htc magic 32A, and the only guide I found for unrooting the magic is for the mytouch 3G. So, let's suppose that someone did a nandroid backup before updating to a rooted hero rom. Does the root goes away by doing nandroid restore, or will there be OTA updates?

And if there isn't nandroid backup available, is there a original 32A rom, that will make the phone unrooted and supports OTA updates?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kozalp:
Hi everyone,

I will be a little paranoid over here so don't take it hard on me =)

I've been using a i-mate k-jam for a long time and switched to touch hd on january. Interestingly the biggest similarity and annoyance for me was the softwares pre-installed to download some sort of data over internet and bugging every week to download new signatures/data and bugging even more if you fail to download.

eTrust found out to be useless and I can't really pinpoint why most handheld GPS devices doesn't really require to update this kind of information (Please correct if I'm wrong).

We might assume the transaction is a simple wget/http download which wouldn't carry any other information to the other party that someone from that IP downloaded something. But if there is a handshaking or at least some kind of a http post is inplace, it could be also sending a unique device idea which would let the guys in Taiwan track our devices our a map.

As I said I'm just being paranoid and making almost a conspiracy theory here but still the possibility exists.

So how can we be sure they are not sending any information out?

We can set up a proxy and mirror incoming traffic from a source ip (phones ip) and dump it with wireshark. Then we will need to define the proxy on our phone and click download.

Is there a wireshark/ethereal kind of packet capture software which can run on these devices? It could ease the job.

Reverse engineering the code? Not experienced in that but It should be quite small when the you think the job it supposed to do.

Any comments, thoughts, help, information - greatly appreciated.

BR, Kaya

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Zoltair Wright:
I've sort of resigned myself to the fact that using a smartphone exposes someone to a lot of security gaps. The best advice is to keep your bluetooth off / in hidden mode, as this is one of the easiest ways to get at your handheld's data. Moving up the paranoia scale, you can use that NoData program to disable your data connection except for when you really need at - that will prevent most third-party programs from dialing home. And if you're really worried about being tracked, I'd recommend just shutting off your phone when you have something private to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubano:
Had the device for a few weeks now. Randomly the sd card was dismounted. No biggie, was able to mount it with a remove/insert or reboot.

Suddenly today it isn't possible to find, mount or read anything from it.:(

Can't read it through an usb-stick in the pc either. So the only possible reason is either a bad sd-card? Or the hero destroyed it?

Heya all, well i just menage to finally buy a new g1 off ebay been trying for awhile now but finally got one for the right price but the thing is.. being new its locked to t-mobile now from what i have found there are only two way's of unlocking both are via unlock codes and from what I've read i can get it free from t-mobile but i also believe you have to of been a t-mobile customer for 2 months plus or something any you guys know if this is true?

The other option is to get one of these websites that give you unlock codes has anyone used these could you if possible tell me what sites are genuine and safe to use?

Another thing is there any other way's of unlocking the phone?? that i have missed? i haven't actually got it yet but its being posted as we speak..

Hope this is the right place to post this and cheers for you input ;D

T-mobile will give it free if your a longstanding customer. If you want to buy it, buy it from ebay. There is another thread in this section (actually more like 20, one of which has a link)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Yea they wont give you the code unless you have been a customer for 90 days or more. The site I used was http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com it took about 10 hours for the code to arrive, they have detailed instructions on how to register an ATT APN so you can do the initial google setup too. I think they offer codes in 2 hours now, but either way its a good site and I think its just over 20 bucks, like 22 or 23. I looked on ebay but it didn't have a good feel to it, for me anyway.

edit: One great thing about using it on att is that they wont know its a smartphone because its not in there system so you can use the $15/month dumb phone unlimited data plan and it works great, I have been using it for about 3 months now, only downside is att and tmobile use different 3G bands so it is impossible to get 3G with att.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
Only use unlock sites who people here say they have used. Don't be fooled by some of them which are *very* cheap (as in, a quater or the cost of most), these will normally tell you *how* to unlock your phone (call t-mobile or buy a code, but they dont give you the code).

I bought my code of eBay, that way you can look at there feed back and you know that the testimonies on their flashy website aren't fake.

Some unlocks can be done for free using a custom ROM flash. The operating system is only setup to bar off any non-TMobile sims, so do a flash, and bang, that SIM restriction should be gone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
I have never heard of any rom unlocking the phone, the carrier lock is much deeper in the phone, hence why you dont lose your unlock status when you switch rom's. I did a ton of searching before I unlocked my G1 and never saw anything like what you speak of, I had already rooted and flashed 3 or 4 different roms when my phone was still locked and it never made a difference, so could you please provide a link to this type of rom? And just so you know, in your sig you list phone OS's but what you are talking about is rom's as the only OS for the G1 is Android.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I don't think that's right either. I've heard quite a few people say that after rooting and flashing a non-tmo ROM their SIM was still locked...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
He might be confused with something else because of all the smartphones I have had I've never heard a rom to unlock your sim/carrier. I wish there was though but if you think about it you would never be able to change your rom because you would lose the unlock status.

My spare battery got put through the washing machine recently.

Is it safe to use now that its dried out. perhaps if i clean the contacts with alcohol?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychoI3oy:
A new battery would be what... $30 at the most? A new G1 would be $200+contract or $400?

But... if you want to chance it.

Your best bet is to get a plastic bag and some silica gel (the 'Do not eat' packets in jerkey and shoes) or white rice and throw the battery in the bag with it. Leave in a somewhat warm-ish (but not melty-hot) area to coax the moisture out of the battery over the course of a couple days.

At least that's what I read on the internet. I'd just shell out the $30 for a new battery.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
:Laugh:

Deliberately heating a battery is a dumb idea, period. Also, there's no point to attempting this, as a battery that has had its cells exposed internally to moisture will probably vent, violently. All lithium ion/poly batteries are manufactured with protection circuits, but if ionized fluid of any sort got between the cell contacts, that could potentially create a dangerous situation.

All in all I would probably just write the battery off as a lost cause. (Remember to RECYCLE your lithium batteries. Don't put them in the trash!)
