i've been using wm65 ever since the first build that was out :)

But i'd never stumbled upon this, nor seen anyone talking about it as a new feature. Mainly, because, I never add a new contact by going into the contacts app....

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamDonot:
Hello all, please dont hate the noob. I have been reading through a lot of tutorials about app2sd, and most mention having to create an ext2 parition, and sometime a ext3 parition. Now I have installed modacos newist hero rom, on my hero, and I think app2sd is installed by default, but how do I go about using it. I have just moved from an Iphone, so please give me a break.

Also, can I view trailers from the apple website in the hero's browser.

With regard to the ext2, I am running windows 7, and have no knowledge of creating linux paritions. Also most of the tutorials mention opening a console in recovery mode, I dont have a clue how to do this.

Cheers in advance.

Ok I have been looking for a solutions for a long time. I want to use my shiny new Dell Mini 10 with windows 7 for turn by turn directions and i want to use my at&t tilt as the GPS receiver. So, what FREE solutions do I have? Google Earth would be sweet if it had VOICE directions.. but I know the odds of finding a free solution for that is going to be slim.

also, i keep thinking that i'll need a data connection AND a way to share the gps signal?!

bluetooth isn't an option.. at least not yet. I have to buy a BT dongle some day soon. HOPEFULLY i can find a miniscule BT USB thing so it wont stick out the side of the mini too much.

So i have 2 options for connections.. i have WIFI router on the tilt or i have to use USB. but as far as i know.. if i use usb i have to then CHOOSE between internet sharing or activesync... i need to use active sync to share the gps ports but i need internet sharing to get the data connection!!?? sooooo confused..

someone PLEASE help me

thats the situation.. to review... here are the questions i need answered.

1) what software to use on the laptop?

2) what software(s) to use on the phone?

2a) gps sharing?

2b) internet sharing?

3) how to connect the two? (usb, wifi or bt)

That will make the GPS on the Tilt look like a Serial port GPS device to the netbook.

Title says it all:

I have a 16Gb micro SDHC for my G1 that a Class 2 device (read: slow). I just ordered a 16Gb micro SDHC Class 6 card to replace it. Since I have my current card partitioned into fat-32, ext3, and linux-swap partitions, I'd like to find a program to image/backup all three partitions and restore them to the new card.

FWIW, I just upgraded to the latest JAC Hero ROM and then reinstalled all my market apps and customized the phone to the way I like when I realized that my micro-SDHC card was a slow Class 2 card and given the needs of this new ROM, a Class 6 card is pretty much a must. I'm simply trying to find a way to upgrade without having to redo everything from scratch.

Anyone have a clue if there is anything out there to handle this?

Thanks!

Your fat32 partition can easily be backed up, just drag and drop onto computer. There are quite a few threads here about backing up an ext3 partition, look a few up. You don't need worry about the linux-swap partition. Then you restore the fat32 partition and ext3 partition and you are good to go.

Does anybody experience problem with the g-sensor?

I had my Magic changed (after brick for a wrong spl) and I realized lately why auto orientation change is not working,

the g-sensor is giving crazy values (20g), auto-calibration does not work, it stops since it sense strange values.

My guess is a hardware problem. But since I have a Q-Technology Hero-port firmware I would like to know if anybody ecperience this with this firmware.

I don't remember if it was working immediately after taking it from Vodafone shop since I flashed the new firmware straight away.

Question: where can I get the original Vodafone firmware?

Thanks

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
It occurs to me that I might be having a similar problem. I reported it against the Cyanogen ROM I'm using, thinking it was a Donut + 32A problem. I did, as it happens, get mine "serviced" after I bricked it earlier and I can't remember the orientation stuff working since then.

Here's what I reported, I assume you are getting very similar results:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
After some further searching I came across this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=545345&highlight=sensor

I assume that deleting these files causes the automatic calibration to occur, which is probably what you've referred to as trying without success. I deleted those files myself and it has not fixed my problem.

Using the Sensor Debug application on the Market, I'm noticing that with my phone sitting idle on my very stationary desk I get the following values:

azimuth ~= 303

pitch ~=123

roll = 32

force on x-axis = 17.95...

force on y-axis = 28.19...

force on z-axis ~= 1

magnetic field ~= (-21, -12, -23)

where I'm using the "~=" notation to indicate constantly fluctuating approximations. Are those measures forces normal?

Also, I can't help you with a Vodafone ROM, but if you go to the HTC website there are a few factory ROMs in the support section for the Magic. Check them out, but obviously choose very carefully. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
I've sent a help request to the folks at HTC about this issue.

After Googling the subject, I've discovered that the HTC Hero comes with a user-accessible sensor calibration tool. HTC will likely not release for their other handsets, but the fact they've released it into the wild means they somewhat acknowledge that there is actually a problem with the sensors.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
Well, the folks at HTC are a strange bunch. They seem to have completely misunderstood the reason I contacted them.

I contacted someone with a perfectly functioning rooted 32A and was able to procure their akmd_set.txt file. Thanks bcrook. :)

My original akmd_set.txt file causes the handset to have only left-to-right roll detection in portrait, or up-and-down roll detection in landscape.

Plugging bcrook's akmd_set.txt file straight in reverses the situation. I now have left-to-right roll detection in landscape, and up-and-down roll detection in portrait.

I have no idea exactly where to begin, but I suppose it's possible that merging the files will bring me to the desired resolution. Now I just need to figure out what the good settings from my file are, and identify the similarly good settings from bcrook. /sigh

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
Really off-topic, you'll probably find answers elsewhere. This thread is specifically about G-Sensor Calibration difficulties.

In the meantime, I'd suggest getting your files directly from the source, and reading all the instructions carefully. If the files are distributed here on these forums, then make sure you definitely read the entire first page of posts, since they'll usually have lots of important information.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
Every few weeks I try out a new Hero-based ROM and see if the Calibration Tool works. I checked out Evil Hero yesterday. Still no dice. The Calibration Tool does not abort prematurely, however, and the /system/bin/ssd_bma15_usr file is definitely there.

I can confirm, however, that if the /data/misc/akmd_set.txt is missing, then it is generated using fixed tags somewhere. And running the Calibration Tool does not appear to even alter the calibration, it just doesn't visibly fail anymore. I had "adb logcat" running during a calibration run, and I noticed the sensors being opened and closed but no errors reported.

I don't know the specifics, but it's possible that the ssd_bma150_usr is just a stub. So my options to get my phone 100% functional are still:

A - wait for official HTC Sense UI release for Sapphire

B - send phone back to HTC's support team
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
I tried out MyHero 2.0.2 today. No dice. This ROM is apparently based off the official HTC SenseUI for Magic, and there does not appear to be any G-Sensor Calibration available anywhere.

It's still a little too early to tell, but I have a feeling that the official HTC SenseUI for Magic simply lacks the tool. I'll wait for the release for my region before giving up. /sigh I suppose only the Hero has a calibration driver HTC can be bothered with supporting.

This likely means, though, that my list of available options shrinks to a single option: send my phone back for repairs. And since this hardware fault only presented itself when I last did that, I'm just not entirely confident. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kirkusss:
any solution found?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
Not yet, I'm afraid. :(

If you'd like to help, you can search the internet for a leak of the Diagnostic SD Card image. If you boot your phone while holding the Volume Down key, you will quickly see it try to load one the SAPPDIAG.* files. That's the file we need. I was on the trail for a little while, but I hit a dead-end when I got to an unlisted HTC website that required a password.

Another way you can help is by doing a nandroid backup of your phone. Then go and try out one of the Sense UI ROM releases found on these forums and see if there is an option anywhere to calibrate the sensors. Once you've checked out the ROM, post your results here and then you can restore your nandroid backup so your phone is back to normal (or keep the new ROM if you like it better). I've already checked MyHero 2.0.2 and an older version of Evil Hero, but there are a few more to check.

A word of warning to everyone, it is very important that you do a nandroid backup of your phone fresh out of the box and BEFORE you do anything else. If only I had done this, I would still have my original akmd_set.txt file and my phone's sensors would not be misbehaving.

Today's adventures with official HTC update 2.17.861.3

Okay, so I decided to take the plunge and try out the official ROM update for my Sapphire 32A. I found it here at HTC's support page, version 2.17.861.3. I figured there was a chance an official ROM would have drivers that the cooked ones floating around here don't, and it was worth checking to see if I could fix my G-Sensors once and for all.

I struggled for a while to get the ROM update to even work. Eventually I learned to enable USB debugging, delete the ADB device and drivers from Windows 7's device manager, grab a copy of the Vista64 drivers and install them. So the ROM update finally worked, yay!

I'm going to put this in large bold letters as a warning to others right now:

HTC Magic ROM update 2.17.861.3 installs a perfect SPL!

That is to say that if you install this ROM, you won't be able to fastboot a new recovery or system ROM.

I can also confirm that the official ROM does not fix my problem, it is just as clueless about true calibration as any of the 3rd party cooked ROMs. The closest I ever got to this sort of solution was a Hero-based ROM and it never worked either. /sigh

So I figured I was completely stuck at this point, unable to install AmonRA's recovery and therefore unable to restore my nandroid backup to this morning's snapshot.

However, it dawned on me after a few hours of struggling to create a goldcard, the old bluetooth vulnerability exploited by flashrec might be present in this official ROM. As it turns out:

HTC Magic ROM update 2.17.861.3 is vulnerable to flashrec!

So here I am back with CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1 and RA-v1.2.3, but with a perfect SPL. A significant step backwards, in that it'll now be difficult or impossible to update my recovery,seeing as CM is immune to the bluetooth bug and you need a non-perfect SPL in order to fastboot a new recovery. Oh well. Lessons learnt. :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
Okay, so on Monday my phone was shipped back to the technicians for repair regarding sensor calibration. As you can tell by reading this thread, trying to fix this myself was impossible without somehow getting access to the Diagnostic SD card image for Sapphire, which as far as I know as not been leaked and only resides on HTC's (password-protected) technicians' website.

I got it back today, and the issue was still there. So I sent it back immediately with quotes from the leaked service manual detailing exactly what they need to do. And I also mentioned factory-installed applications they can use to determine if the problem persists, namely HTC's Teeter and simply trying to get the phone to notice a transition from portrait to landscape. /sigh

Anyhow, I don't know what I'm expecting or even hoping for. Is it better to have technicians who were previously incompetent but can fix my phone with my instructions? Or is there a chance my phone really is broken and the technicians are indeed competent and trying everything they can to no avail? /shrug
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kirkusss:

http://phandroid.com/htc-magic-manual.pdf

I pretty much just Googled it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
Okay, my phone got back from the service centre today and it is all fixed!

I noticed that they installed a newer version of the basic Android 1.5 HTC ROM without SenseUI: 2.17.861.5 (only .3 is available for download) and the SPL was a non-perfect version, which is very nice. The technicians apparently had to replace the motherboard.

Judging by how few people seem to have this persistently broken sensor issue, I would say it is a very rare manufacturing defect. I am guessing that when the phone is built, the sensors are calibrated and this data is stored on a flash ROM somewhere on the motherboard. When there is no /data/misc/akmd_set.txt file, the kernel goes and fetches the data from this sensor flash.

Because this data is not part of the usual wipe-and-flash area where user and system data is stored, it is not able to be fixed with any consumer-accessible software.

The Diagnostic SD card that was my Holy Grail for so long was also probably unable to fix this problem, although it certainly narrowed it down enough for the technicians to know that only a new motherboard would solve it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kirkusss:
Can you please upload the SD card image somewhere?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jokeyrhyme:
I never at any time had access to the Diagnostic SD card. It can only be retrieved from HTC's website, and only if you have been given a password-protected technician / service account.
