I was also surprised when I found out that Hero does not see AdHoc networks. I have already contacted them asking for an explanation on this when even the foolish IPhone supports it.

Why don't you simply do the same, write them and complain about it? They should simply enable it on next ROM. This is ridiculous. I think they really expect us to root our Heros.

yeah...i pulled the file out of /system/etc/wifi/, but couldn't find it under /data/misc/wifi ...

original wpa_supplicant.conf

i've done this, but i've not succeed with it, i'd like to rollback my phone, but i cannot connect to any wifi. I've not backed up my wpa_supplicant.conf. Could anyone upload the original? thx :)

hope this is my solution, testing it:

deleting everything except the first two line in the file wpa_supplicant.conf then rebooting my phone, hope this helps :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnejajaideep:
okay everything is working fine...i just want to know if it is necessary 2 give ur network SSID even if u r going 2 b using an unsecured account...coz i think editing the twlan.ini file everytime i want to connect 2 a diff ad hoc network 2 b kind of cubersome
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penthoy:
Seems like have the same problem as everyone else:

1. the tiwlan.ini is read only

2, can't push it back from adb, permission denied,

3. the phone seems to be rooted since it lets me do su and have #

4. can't find the file under /data/misc/ but both files are in /system/etc/wifi instead

i'm glad to see that i'm not alone,

I'm using moto droid with android 2.1

I have found a way to push the file in there, with a trick although I've followed how they have motified the files, and I verified that the files are indeed modified the way they should, I'm still have yet to connect to my ad hoc

so here is how to over write the file(by using SPRecovery and adb)

start phone by holding X(just like when you root the device)

when you're in the SPRecovery, select “Mount Options” Select “Mount /system”

and then go to your windows cmd command

now you can write to the files using adb by typing

adb push tiwifi.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwifi.ini

and vise versa...

please only use this if you know what you're doing, because i'm just a noob trying to figure this out and still haven't.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penthoy:
Hey I've found that the wpa_supplicant.conf in those 2 locations are completely different, so please don't mix them up(i learned it the hard way by screwing it up and had to do a restore....)

we don't see the wpa_supplicant inside of data/misc/wifi is because we don't have enough permission to do it when you're using adb although we can see those in the system/etc/wifi

you'll find that if you do navigate using su inside your phone(instead of adb in your computer)

Edit

Ok, guys

This is what I've tried and please don't follow because it'll screw up your wifi, after I using the SPRecovery to write to the data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf it'll unable to start wifi even after I write back the back up I've saved.... have made sure it looks exactly like the original before I wrote to it, I checked with vi inside the phone, and it didn't work. it would be nice if anyone can figure out how to save inside of vi inside the phone that would be much easier since we can modify it using vi just don't know how to save it...

the guide I've used is in forum.droidmod.org/index.php?PHPSESSID=19c59ea78309f1cf84f7a605ddb18539&/topic,1004.0.html

Edit 2:

for those that have successful made this work, it would be nice of you to post to us exactly which guide did you used to Root your phone, which version is your android and which model, because it's obvious that the guide we followed have done it wrong, and we're not rooting our phone correctly...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersnp:
Just one comment about tiwlan.ini. You do not need to replace the existing tiwlan.ini in order to reload it. Copy the file elsewhere (e.g. /data) and reload using that location instead:

On g1:

insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
wlan_loader -f /system/etc/wifi/Fw1251r1c.bin -e /proc/calibration -i /data/tiwlan.ini

This will not let you "see" ad hoc networks in the wifi settings screen. You need to replace the files for this to work.

I think the issue you had was due to the fact the system partition is mounted read-only. You need to remount read-write. Instructions on how to solve this issue has been posted earlier in this thread, did you follow those instructions?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duck0:
chmod 666 tiwlan.ini

It seems the hero has got smitten by a little windowsism, permissions seem to still be evaluated even if you're root (probably because the "su" people use is really a suid /bin/sh, and does not set the userid properly).

Changing the mode to writeable by all lets you edit the file. Similarily, if you need to add a file to a directory, change it to mode 777 (read write and execute for all).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penthoy:
hmm, no actually i've found that this trick presented here is not working for the droid and hero, unfortunately, it only works for the G1 and those older phones....

would be nice if someone can make a work through around this... if you did you probabaly will be famous... i've found this thread code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82

about official development status on the ad hoc support for android, the thread has been up for 2 years and google has yet to response to it, and apparantly a lot of people wants this, since it's such a simple feature...

P.S.

it would be nice if anyone can confirm that these methods are working for their droid or Hero, if not, then what I heard is probabaly true.
[G1 General] agentkalaw:
Hi All,

I just found out about the windows mobile HTC touch pro 2 sale that's going on right now ($149.99). I was wondering if I could use the SIM for that plan on my G1? I really want to stick with my G1 instead of the touch pro 2. I was thinking of selling the touch pro 2 and just using the SIM. will TMO care if I'm using the G1 on that plan? I would get the mytouch plan and use that SIM on my G1 (i think that would work) but the touch pro 2 is retailing for $500.00 that's about $100.00 more than the mytouch if i were to sell it on ebay or craigslist. Any help would be appreciated.
[G1 General] uansari1:
T-mobile tracks G1 and MyTouch3G via IMEI, so you'd probably get a message to upgrade to the Android data plan. Other than that, yes you can use the sim in a G1.
[G1 General] crpercodani:
Yea man you can do that, like the other guy said you will need to get the G1 data plan but I think it is the same cost anyway. I have personally done it already and made a nice chunk of change on ebay selling the touch pro, I unlocked it first and got about $65 more for it then others.

So, Spotify gets approved for iPhone.

Well, we first saw the Android version months ago.

So Spotify, where is our version ?????

I can only hope that it will get released at same time as the iphone one.

Then we can gloat over iphone users by showing it running in the background as we do other things on our phones :)

I'd actually consider paying for the premium service to use this so I hope they sort it out soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] joemax:
I'm afraid most of the world seems to whore itself in front of the ToyPhone before any other.

Don't forget 'our' version was not an official one... and SpottyFly decided to support the herding Apple followers 1st.

And even FaceBook have done the same... where the hell is our native FB app ? :mad:

i wanna make my clock widget switcher program completely automated

for that i need to be able to have some code that will remove the current clock widget and then add it again (or reload it somehow)

anyone have any idea on how i can accomplish this? :)

thanks in advance

-JD
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
What do you mean completely automated?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
with the way his program is set up. it will adb push AlarmClock.apk to /system/app/AlarmClock.apk. doing this will cause the current onscreen clock to turn into the problem loading widget box.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xidominicanoix:
yeah ^^ that :)

it would make things so much easier and faster if this could be done automatic
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumfuq:
Not sure but maybe you could manipulate the desktop database directly. Use sqlite to remove the clock entry then add it back when your ready.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xidominicanoix:
hmmm im learning databases now in school but i guess i could read ahead and figure it out ;) ... thanks for that imma try it out

EDIT: i have the advanced launcher so i see 3 DB ... does the regular launcher only have 1 DB in databases folder? (launcher.db)

also can someone give me some extended help on how to open/edit db through shell? :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumfuq:
I would GUESS that the launcher.db is the same in advanced launcher and regular, only a couple extra databases to deal with the cool stuff. As for opening it in console...

sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.launcher/databases/launcher.db

I myself cannot give you detailed instructions on editing it (not a sqlite guru) but maybe that will get you started at least.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xidominicanoix:
thanks for the help man :)

EDIT: ok i looked throught 'android_metadata' and didnt see anything good there.... but in 'favorites' i get: all this

anyone wanna walk me through the next step? ;)

EDIT: better one here <- got headers but still no formatting sorry

EDIT: now with formatting .. figured out .mode .... hopefully someone can help me decipher this and help me figure out how to reload that damn widget ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xidominicanoix:
ok im gettin a little better with sqlite3 and was able to get the database formatted and with headers both before I remove the clock widget and then after ... the only difference between the 2 is the entry with id#28 ..... so now that i know where in the DB the clock widget is located, can someone help me figure out how to remove that line and then add it again?

EDIT: use notepad++ to open them .. the columns stay intact

EDIT: i re-added the widget to my home screen and looked at the DB again ... it seems that the id# changes even the appWidgetID changed :(.... so now im really stumped on what to do ..... android shoulda been able to do this by default!! :\ .... o well ill stop ranting now and just keep trying to figure it out

Glad it worked.

And my last dog was an Australian Shepard, but I went with an ACD this time because it's so hot where I live (Corpus Christi, TX). Also, we go to the beach a lot, and the short hair of an ACD is a lot easier to manage. But boy are the stubborn dogs.

I live up "north" of you, Dallas :) Yes, they are stubborn, after having a Blue, my Aussie has been is a breeze. Although the Aussie is more demanding to keep mentally busy. I had a stubby tailed Blue Merl heeler, a 1/2 masked male. Cancer got him. Have a Black tri Aussie Female now and she is great. I tend to like smart things, even in dogs. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zr123:
Hello,

I seem to be having an issue with the time stamps on my text messages. The ones that I send are okay, however the ones that I receive all have different times on them. For example:

If I send a text at 8:15PM and receive a reply right away, it'll show my text sent at 8:15PM, but the reply will have a back dated time... Maybe 5PM, 4PM... something like that.

Any ideas why?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thenewshaft:
I find this but its by no means universal. some messages I recive are an hour ahead others are not. I recived two messages at almost the same time & one of them had the wrong time. I can't wait for the new update to fix all of these little issues
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
I've seen this problem since my G1. It's still suffering from it, as is my Magic and my Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zr123:
I'm still having the same issue.

My received text messages show a time of 4 hours behind.

So if I send a text at 6:30 and receive a reply at 6:32, it shows 2:32 as the received time.

Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? I have updated to the latest (leaked) firmware, but still no luck.

Thanks!

Are you all on the same network? Might not be the phone because i've never noticed this
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Was just going to ask this... What network are you on, have you set network location to automatic by carrier, if so, set it manually to the city / country you are in.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
I'm on O2 and have been using the network provided values.

I've set it to manual and text someone at 12:44. The reply came in a little while after and was stamped 12:45 so no issue there it seems. Strange.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
I'm now getting issues now with texts in fairly quick succession.

The time stamps can be the same i.e. 21:17 but a reply from someone will sometimes appear before my original text in thread view.

Also a reply came in to one of my texts with a time stamp before my original text. This was displayed "correctly" as before my text, but the fact its timestamped in this way can't be right.

Anyone else seen this?

It's like the phone is looking at minutes for accuracy, not seconds. Also taking the timestamp of when a text was sent from the other person's phone as the time received to my phone. Hm :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
I get this on Orange when I receive a message from the US. All my outgoing messages are listed at the bottom of the conversation, while the one received from the US are at the top.

UK based conversations are all threaded correctly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
Ok thanks.

It never used to be like this so I'm wondering after prolonged use the sms database gets a bit corrupted somehow?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jpalo:
For me it seems to behave like this: for outgoing (sent) messages I see the time that is set on Hero. For incoming messages, however, Hero shows the time on the network provider.

I assume there is some header in SMS message containing the time, and Hero uses that instead of using the time Hero has when the message arrives.

I started using the Network Provider time (automatic) to get rid of this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tengonada:
Since last night my t-mo TP2 has been really slowing loading up (this is AFTER "windows 6.1" green screen and "loading TF3D"....even if i touch the screen nothing moves. touch flow works fine after 5 min but Opera Mobile and other programs open very slow. screen rotation doesn't react and also parts of the screen image from previous pg remain when i go to a new program. By "quick menu", i mean the top right corner where u can get to the task manager (i do have this turned ON in my settings).

Can someone pls help me??

damn no replies. i'm having the same problem with my sprint touch pro 2. loading where i can actually use and that will respond fairly quickly takes a good 5 min. fortunately, after everything seems to work fine but there are times i soft reset to clear everything and slow load, EVERYTIME.

can someone help? I have S2U2 and have tried EVERY combination of options, don't think it can be any of the other utilities I installed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
QuickMenu works just exactly the way it's always worked for me on the Tilt.. I haven't ever seen it run slowly. I ran the older version at first, then installed the new version so I could increase the spacing to make it easier for finger poking, both worked just fine.

Not sure however if I used it with TF3D, I nuked that after a day. I suppose it's easy enough to switch, so I did, and still no trouble. I have it assigned to my Win key, if I want to launch the "honeycomb" I tap the Start Menu text. I use a bit of a combo of both. I don't really use any special settings, about all I set is to auto start, register win key, right arrow to close program, x button long press to close, don't mess with anything else.

Hi, noob here,

I recently added TofClock WM6.0 version to my Himalaya II, but I lost the functionality of the phone dialer, and the ability to make or recieve calls. I called myself from the home phone and nothing happened, then I instantly got a message saying I had a missed call. I then installed WM6.1 which is working fine, but still the dialer is no longer working? I cant click it in the start bar, I cant click the green call button on the device, I cant go into programs and open I am currently on:

WM6.1

Rome Version: 6.1.2a16CS

Radio Version: 1337.18

CE OS 5.2.19209

Build 19209.1.0.2

Is there something I can install to patch this problem?

Also is there a patch that will restore the functionality of the tasks and calender as I really need them, they stopped working after the first update from 2003, and I need it for Uni.

Sorry if this has been posted before but I really did search for ages on these forums before signing up to ask.

Any help would be brill.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Plankton1031:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:
For me it seems like a hardware problem or a corrupted radio rom.

Did you try to flash back to your original WM2k3. I hope you made a backup.

Or try to flash the radio again, without changing the OS.

You can find them here:http://old.buzzdev.net/downloads.php?category=8

Good luck
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Plankton1031:
Thankyou for your reply. I have downloaded the new radio. Can you send me a link on how to flash this file. Do I just add the software to the phone via active sync and then install it?

I am still new to this, and it seems to be unable to get Network service from my cell phone company.

I feel like the phone is bricked. *sigh*
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:
As I remember, you flash the radio rom as if it is a compete rom, but I'm not sure, yet.

Look around, I read about it somewhere. Use search function here or at buzz.net.

Good luck.

If your device has got a bricked phone function and is not useable for you any longer don't through it away.

One of the rom cookers in this forum (master efsane from turkey) has ruined his device, and I try to organize one for him as I did for master Ather (former Ather90).

Maybe it is possible to get him back to our forum this way, because it seems not to be as easy to build good (german) WM6.5 rom.

As your device is able to receive sms, it sounds as an issue with the ringer. Does it show an incoming call?
