[General Questions and Answers] confusedxx:
I was thinking of getting a new phone in the next few weeks, but I am still on the fence if it is worth it. I currently have a Polaris (HTC Touch Cruise). I was thinking about going with a HTC Hero, HTC Touch2 or Iphone.

The HTC Hero looks very sexy with the neat UI and ability to keep up via Twitter, Facebook and all that stuff. But Android does not have much support from business applications: Audible.com, Stock Brokers for mobile trading, Quicken/MS Money, Banking Software, etc, etc.

Iphone has critical mass and is supported by the banks, stock brokers and all that. It looks sexy, but is it worth the change and I can only have 1 application open at a time - big downside. But the 3Gs is the fastest fone :)

So I think at this point, I want to stay with HTC. What is the major difference between Touch2 (WM6.5) and Hero (Android)? Are the UIs the same and just the OS different? Can one do something the other cannot? I am concerned the the newest of Android and lack of supporting applications would mean too large a loss in functionality compared to staying with a Windows Mobile.

Do you think Android will ever hit critical mass that businesses develop apps for it like they have done with the iPhone or will it continue to be a minor share of the market for the years to come? What are the key advantages to moving to an Android phone at this point in time?

I prefer a device with WM by now for business environment

Andorid looks promising but by now is an unmature and limitated OS, perhaps in the future can be a good option but not now.

Just my opinion,

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Not possible, you must be misreading one of the numbers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdwilson:
It is possible.

This issue has been discussed before, as it has happened before. Do a search in this forum.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
then why doesn't every thief in the world just steal phones, change the imei # and resell them.

I was under the impression that the only way to change imei #'s was illegally and with the right tools. It wasn't something that could be done easily or by " mistake " by unlocking your phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
I did the search and found that some people didn't know that there can be 17 digits and not just 15, that some people had been cloned via flashing a ROM yet others who flashed the same ROM hadn't?

Just strange how 1000's on 1000's of people sim unlock there phone without IMEI no. changing that it does for someone else....

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Bottom line is , your imei number is on your handset and that is your number, despite what your software says. You can put Android on your phone, but that doesn't make your Windows Mobile Phone an Android phone.

What is it you want exactly ? Help me.....help help help....help me , isn't a question. :confused:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] khaytsus:
What's the actual problem? Your provider thinks you changed phones and doesn't like that, or what?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Stu_Can_Sam:
hmmmmmmm

IMEI numbers used on GSM networks can be isolated so that; when reported stolen, the IMEI number is deactivated rendering the phone bricked regardless if the sim card is changed (aka dirty electronic serial numbers). Check out this site, kinda nifty...Central Equipment Identity Register has some interesting reading that can be done.

please only answer

I have expressed the full description,these are not the answer ,Does anyone can solve this problem ?

do you want your old imei on it???

it can be done with a simple prog

just search for WST (WizardServiceTool) on the forum

Hope its true and that the changes between the HD and HD2 aren't to heavy, just faster everything.

If HTC keeps it a bit the same, we might be getting Android on our HD's too!
[Touch HD General] bboerny:
...the "faster" cpu is not what I expected from the HD2. I guess I'll change from my HD to the HTC Leo, which has Ghz and a capacitive display. Though Android sounds interessting compared to the lame/old WinMo6.x...

Besides the default browser, is there other browser on the market that has JVM plugin?
[G1 Apps and Games] brian_v3ntura:
idk what jvm is..

but another browser i use thats a lot faster is opera mini.

it was a java app when i used in winmo tho
[G1 Apps and Games] lmfwtw:
What i mean is is there a browser that already has the Java Virtual Machine plugin and we can access those bank webpages that needs JVM support
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaz:
Something screwed up today after installing that ApptoSD application from the market and I had to downgrade to RC29 again. That was all fine.

Now I was in the process of upgrading to CM 4.0.4. I already installed the old HardSPL, and realized I needed to install the 'new' one. I did this, and upon reboot my phone is stuck at the G1 screen.

Home+Power and Camera+Power do absolutely nothing.

Am I ****ed? This sucks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
Yes, its gone. You need to install the radio update before the SPL update. Don't know why you would install the update that kills so many phones without reading up on it...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innerspace:
for the record: cm4.0.4 and all cyanogen mods do not require the DangerSPL, hardspl works fine.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Wow you get a big ol' F for not doing your homework and thinking that you needed the newest thing, good job screwing yourself
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Just like everyone else said your toast. I was first thinking why would you need to go back to rc29 because of an apps2sd issue or really any issue, you should have just reflashed a rom. Second (like the others said) you didn't need the new spl.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
WTB - spare batt and batt cover!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaz:
Whoa, didn't need to jump down my throat - I already flashed the new radio after HardSPL, but I suppose it doesn't matter anyway.

The phone bricked after installing that app, and upon restart it was stuck at the G1 screen, I had to leave the office so I reflashed to RC29 (as it was the only ROM I had on my laptop) while I was on the road (so no internet access) because I desperately needed my phone for a job I was attending. When I got back to the office I must have mixed up my update.zip files somewhere in the process.

Thanks for the help from the people that weren't dicks about it, at the end of the day it's only a phone. Time for a shiny new one. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r4d14n7:
It is pretty common knowledge that the DangerSPL will not work with older radio versions BUT I believe flashing RC29 downgrades your radio to an earlier version, therefore bricking your phone. If you decide to use DangerSPL or Haykuro's SPL (the same I think) in the future, make sure you flash HardSPL BEFORE restoring to RC29.

I would play the stupid card with TMO and see if they will send you a new one.

And if you don't already, use Cyanogen's 1.4 Recovery. You can backup and restore via Nandroid from the recovery image so you can have a working version on your SD card at all times and not need a computer to access it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcorrea:
Just for my own knowledge,

A phone with the hard spl can be safely downgraded back to rc29 (if you needed to send it back to tmo for instance) correct?

It's the danger spl that can brick your system if you downgrade to earlier radio right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Correct......
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
downgrading by using rc also downgrades the radio and spl, does not matter what spl you are using. it takes it back. you will not brick by using the rc dreaimg.nbh
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaz:
Thanks for that information.

I'd play the stupid card but I'm guessing that being in Australia makes that pretty difficult eh? :p

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackaz:
He gave use all $900 just for the fun of it. Great guy.

I guess I can try contacting HTC and see if they'll repair it, I'm expecting to pay for it but i guess it's better than paying for a new phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
i was talking about his policies, like telling everyone that this is our country and that we will not bend over backwards to appese you and if you don't like it then get the **** out. we need someone like that guy here instead of ass kissing obama

i guess some supposably this developer no2chem overclocked the touch pro processor to 768mhz..i mean to me thats some bull but the hell do i know..so if this guy really did that...welll shouldnt it be possible to do it on our magics since they have the same processors? thats saying if this guy really did that

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazybyte:
"Inspired by GSLEON3 I have started to investigate overclocking options of the ARM11 (runs OS) and ARM9 (runs radio). I disovered a few things which may be of interest, but so far no spectacular results. There is more research needed and I hope people like anton tomov, cmonex, olipro and pof can help out.

Here is a summary of my findings for the ARM11:

- it normally runs on 384MHz which is equal to a masterclock of 768MHz divided by 2

- the ARM11 clockspeed is 768/N MHz where N is a frequency divider (N=1..16)

- i haven't found an option for clock stepping. (If anyone has a MSM7x00 datasheet please share it with me so this can be investigated)

- i found ARM11 clock control code both in oemsbl and spl. The latter is great as it allows to control clock from WM

- there are two commands in a mfg spl to set ARM11 clock speed and to test it: "freq n" (n=0..6) and "test"

- "freq 6" sets the fastest speed: 384MHz and testing with "test" results in 436ms on my kaiser (MSM7200). Would be nice if someone tests this on a MSM7201 based kaiser

- i reverse engineered the "freq" command and found a table at 0x8c00e230 with 5 entries for each speed setting. For "freq 6" the settings are:

Code:

384000 ; equal to clockspeed/1000

1 ; determines which master clock to use (value is either 0 or 1)

1 ; master clock divider-1 (increasing it leads to slower test speeds)

96000 ; some other clock derived from from master clock

3 ; divider-1 for deriving the 2nd clock

- i hot patched these values with the "mw" command (e.g. mw 8C00E2A8 1 6D600) but could not establish any better result with "test"

- setting the divider to 0 (actually means divide 768MHz by 1) caused the device to freeze

- i didn't do any benchmarking in WM

- i haven't investigated ARM9

Okay, enough for now. I hope this triggers more interest and research for this topic."

That was another topic, but i was searching and i think that we could modify the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpu_max_scaling_freq we could overclock easyly our devices...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bobdude5:
well with tool like setcpu we could set lower speed when the phone is sleeping and the battery wont go down that bad :)..hell if its possible im down to try it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rainabba:
no2chem (maker of nueROM) is a VERY well respected developer here on XDA who has done a ton of work on WM handsets. He's done quite a bit of low-level work on WM builds and created apps/drivers that even I (as an experienced Windows developer) can scarcely comprehend because it's low-level, hardware-related code. Months ago he did in fact develop a clock-speed app that does allow for over/under clocking of the TP (which I own and have tweaked with many of his apps).

I agree that 800MHz sounds a bit far-fetched, but so did overclocking my i7 920 from stock 2.66 to 4.00 on air, but it's done regularly (though not generally for long-term) on eVGA x58 motherboards (which I use). That said, I wouldn't dismiss the idea too quickly.

His blog and tools can be found here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/

Specific article is here: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/post/2009/09/06/Touch-Pro-running-at-800MHZ.aspx

He's basically the Windows Mobile equivalent (if there is one) of Cyanogen.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] haquocdung:
interesting work.

i wonder if it will works on others phone. let me try it with my htc fuze. will post result later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazybyte:
Maybe a solution for changing the cpu max_freq value it's inserting it to the source code when we compile a rom... I think that modding this file are the first step:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=ke...3;hb=ebea985a6ec461a59afb86f0068cc1d79d7c8bf1

227 CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MAX=384000

228 CONFIG_MSM_CPU_FREQ_ONDEMAND_MIN=245760

I think that if we change the line 227 we can overclock, but the problem is that we have to make a rom for testing it.

It's only my opinion!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bonesy:
When i had my blackstone no2chem supposedly oc'd that to some stupid amount but the software he delvelops wouldnt do it. All it would do is the same as set cpu?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazybyte:
Yes, it seems to be the same CPU, if someone can ask no2chem...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] no2chem:
hi,

no clue about nix platforms, but you should be able to access A11S_CSR_BASE, follow these steps:

A11S_CLK_CNTL (A11S_CSR_BASE+0x100)

[6:4] = 1 ;Global PLL

[3:0] = 0 ;Divider Ratio 1:1

A11S_CLK_SEL (A11S_CSR_BASE+0x104)

[2:1] = 3 ;Divide AHB Clock by 4

[0] = 1 ;Select Clock Source 1

oh,and A11S_CSR_BASE is at phys 0xC0100000.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bobdude5:
oh i didnt know you were on xda lol so it is possible then on our magics??

by the way greatjob on finding this out
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crazybyte:
But i think that Android SO, doesn't allow accessing to this memory address, it should be out from the user ring... But if the memory address is stored always in the same address (in any platform) we should modify the android source code to allow accessing to this memory address. Otherwise, it seems to be dangerous, because you're writing directly in the CPU registers... a wrong value can fry our cpu...

Now we have a expert low level coder followin this topic... now.. we need a kernel expert for asking about how we can modify this memory adress.

Anybody knows how to change te icons on the nem manila 2.5 home screen?

I have a link tot TomTom there, but i would like to change the icon to high-r

resolution.

Tried to change iconpath via the register, but when i use a .ico file, i always get the opera icon and when i use a .qtc file it isn't showing either.

What am i doing wrong?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] adamoses:
Hi,

I know it's a bit late but I had this problem too and the workaround that I use is to force each quick link to pick up a png image as the icon.

* To do this you need to go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Home using a reg editor

* Change "IconPath". Set the location to any image you want for each slot (they are numbered from 0-8)

* Restart manila and your new icons will be displayed. For high resolution, use 128px PNGs.

Hope that was helpful.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] bnm7bnm:
change start menu icon its taken from there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] muntos:
No, it's not true, I have changed the icon for Camera in Start Menu with Icon Changer but the icon in Manilla today didn't changed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] bnm7bnm:
it is true but i forgot something, after changing start menu icons you should delete all files in \Application Data\HTC\ProgLauncher & reset.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] muntos:
Correct, I did like you said and now it's okay. Thanks :) !

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Hi all,

it has been now nearly two weeks since the rom update leaked, and still so sign of an official update on htc website.

I'm wondering if this was really the final rom version, if so i don't know why htc would wait another two weeks after the leak.

I heard that somebody got that rom from an ftp server which is used by htc to upload data before it gets released. In this case two weeks seems also way too long for a deployment.

Are there any signs of the official release? I'm curious to see whether there are any last minute changes done.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kalairn:
well it could do with both orange and tmobile (in the uk) need to add there custom rubbish to there phones?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Henrikmand:
I read about major improvements in speed.

BUT - I also read about weather DB issues, WiFi issues, a.o problems.

So, I am definitely going to stay put, until an official release.

I am not going to waste time on reinstalling software etc, by flashing something "maybe-this-is-a-rom-very-close-to-the-final-one"!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah of course the carrier updates will take more time, but im talking about the htc update for unbranded devices.

since i made the ruu update i can confirm speed updates (but not huge difference), and i can confirm that more often the browser seems to have issues when going online via wlan. connection is there, signal is there, but the browser cant open pages.

and my device actually freezed two times, i couldnt make softreset and had to take the battery out. annoying.

but overall im satisfied with the performance optimization, still i will make another update as soon as the official rom is out..

and another minor thing: updating weather information manually will result in three updates. the app will update the weather data three times in a row, even though you only pressed update once,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
I've had none of those problems, just checked the weather and it seems to update just once. I did have to pull the battery a couple of times BEFORE installing this new ROM when my phone totally locked though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
two weeks?? that's wrong.

The user who uploaded it, __htc__, leaked 2.73 on the 3rd of September....5 days ago.

they release to the ftp, this allows the repair centres, factory and call centres to get it, and then they release it on the website.

yes it is the final version.

if you want it, download it now, or dont. it's up to you, but yes this is the final release and it will be up soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] locutus-of-borg:
rom t-mobile

@rhedgehog hi mate this might be silly but will this update work on locked t-mobile or willi have to root said device?

ps dont slap me to hard if its been asked before lol:eek:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
yeah two weeks was maybe too much. I was hoping this is not final since i have some new issues since i made the ruu update:

- peep widget updates only every 30th try. I'm trying to update the tweets and it doesn't work for about 20 times, and then somehow it works after many more tries. When i open peep app i get an error message that the service is not reachable.

- wifi has problems. many times it seems the connection is dead, when technically everything is ok.

- freezes (but i installed about 40 apps, maybe this was too much...)

- keyboard has sometimes lags. i never had ANY lags inputting text before the update.

- more force closes by 3rd party apps.

- touchflo force closes seem to occur more often also (but i had them before too so this might be the same).

- freezes when the device is in sleep mode. I was at a meeting, not doin anything with the device. Then i wanted to check the time and the display didn't power on. So the device freezed during some background process by android or any 3rd party app. I never had this problem before the update.

the good:

- yes its faster (homescreens)

- even the contacts list has LESS stutter, but stutter is still there. IPHONE 3gs is way ahead in this regard. i don't know why other lists on android are completely fluid while the contacts app list is not fluid.

- battery seems to last longer

overall the first impression was VERY good, but is somehow stained by the problems that surface after some usage time...i'm not 100% sure if the speed update was worth it...waiting for android 1.6 update, maybe this sorts some stuff out..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
I'm using Modacos 2.0 rom, and I've not encountered a single one of the issues you are reporting here.

Did you wipe before installing the RUU version? If not, I suggest you give it a try. Alternatively, wipe and install Modaco.

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
the RUU update won't work on a branded device. You need root to install the new rom in this case.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
hmm i didn't do a wipe. How can you wipe the unrooted phone manually? i thought the RUU update will wipe the phone. It explicitly says so when updating the device that all data is lost. to me this means: your phone will be wiped...
