But i don't see the true logic in doing so. after launching a great product and finding it to be the best in the market, if not the perfect one, why they will stop it as well as the much-needed post sale support? :mad:. If the only reason was to rescue its other products from the shelves, which i don't believe to be the real reason, i guess they made a big mistake. such move is definitely an apparent defiance of the golden principle of R & D and product development. as it should be, demand and pricing will dictate the market. Besides, whats the use of having a base (MB) board with RAM expansion slots and one dedicated for GPS. Logically, they have taken it into consideration as additional innovations for uni before they designed and produced those boards.

after the basic 64M uni, why not release another batch with a higher RAM, with GPS, or both? :confused::confused::confused: of course, for a price commensurate to such upgrade. :):) at any rate, its the demand of the market that dictates....

Accordingly, I still believe that what HTC did is not totally wise business decision unless there exist a compelling reason aside from having discovered to have released an almost perfect product in its era. :D:D it is the precise reason why i been saying that without XDA Dev and those great mods and chefs working on the support/development of our beloved uni, which in the first place is the social obligation of the manufacturer, HTC will not realize its mistake in abandoning such profitable product.

Imagine a 256MB with GPS uni made possible through XDA. if that time will come, i will no longer show my face to the world, if i am HTC, for having made an unjustified decision, or one of its R&D out of delicadeza .. :o:o

no harm intended, just my cent... cheers :):)

HTC came out with a product way before its time back in 2005, making other similar upcoming product lines obsolete. By continuing improvement and support for a single product like Universal, HTC might as well discontinue entire lines of mobiles that came later, but were lower in specs. They did quite a few backward flips similar to that. Magician (enhanced) with 128Mb, 400mhz and capable of WM2003 only until Cotulla's 6.1 very recently is one example, followed by a whole bunch of 200mhz devices as far as 2006/7. I mean, Wizard at 200Mhz... embarrassing to say the least.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
As as beasty said so our best chances would be to have the Great master Mamaich but he hasn't been in xda since june... and there are few other masters in Uni forum who have been working in compiling and patching Kernel recently. namely scholbert and Domi007 :D:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
There are many in these forums whom have the abilities, the problem you have is convincing them to do the work.

I have no need for financial gain and everything I have ever done in/for these forums has been for the users and my own benefit and that is the same reason for the majority of developers here.

You could try asking a few and see what response you get.

I suggest you start by posting a thread in the general development and hacking forums, most peeps don't visit the Uni forums anymore.

If you're all desperate for more memory, why not look into using a paging file that runs off the internal storage or SD to try and boost available ram (not the fastest solution, but certainly an easier one)

ps, Enigma you are one intriguing character;)

Good luck............

Cheers,

Beasty
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Heh, hence the name :p

Someone pointed me in the direction of HTC Leo today... I knew I was on the right track when I said within the next 2 years all LCDs will be capacitive. It does look promising, at least on paper. So it might become Uni + Leo for me.... Haven't been tempted like that in some time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
capacitive, hmm, multi-touch. flash, but unsure what value this brings on such small screen? also no keyboard. don't get me wrong it's a superb device... the Uni camera is gettting quite annoyingly old, but unsure it's for me. the two main things I loved in the uni was big screen, useable keyboard. The Leo certainly has one of them ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
No keyboard on Leo and if HTC (and Qualcomm) follow their norm it will be full of driver issues (not performing, no-where near optimised for the devices power)

My advice is to wait, a keyboard version will not be far behind the Leo and waiting for that would give HTC/Qualcomm and us Devs here a chance to optimise the drivers to release the true potential of the hardware.

Also 5mp cam is a let down for this hardware as it's more than capable of a 12mp............... Give it some time.

Cheers,

Beasty
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Nice to see you are still lurking around here mate, there are still so many familiar faces in the Uni forums, I see "ThingonaSpring" is back too...........

The HD has a 5MP cam the Rhodium only has a 3mp, to be honest though I beleive the picture clarity is superior on the Rhodium than the HD.

It's not allways size that matters:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Agree my friend, I´ll be waiting for that device to come!

Thanks:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] ultravox:
I just can't understand how can HTC release a device with such problems.

This is why I got shocked when found out about the mSD speed problems and low video performance!!!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Cotulla:
256 RAM seems is NOT possible in uni, because no 1024 mbit (128 mbit) SDRAM chips exist with same package :( I never see such chips...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Of course I am giving it some time... Generally I give a device enough time to be used and broken by their careless owners, just so that I can pick it up for next to nothing, have my day or two enjoying the challenge of bringing it back to life and making it good as new. :D Usually by that time all the bits and pieces are sorted, bugs ironed out, ROMs are developed and there is more software than candy in a candy shop!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Cotulla, you are crashing my dreams!!!! :mad:

Vse mechty kotu pod hvost.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Mine too:(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
yes my friends, there are no ram chips in the same packaging so 128is the max limit. Infinion confirmed that by an email.

sorry to break your heart...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
no problem, we concentrate on the internal GPS chip ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Cotulla:
yeah, it's our reality :( (I wanted also 256 MB on my uni some time ago and loocked into subject)

about GPS... maybe there should be installed QCT RGR6200. it's seems used in HTC TRINITY also.

but I think without software support it won't work... :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] arampatla:
GPS Chips

Are the gps chips available that can fit the uni's blank spaces? That will be great after all instead of carring Bluetooth GPS stuff...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
Contulla what about a chip from notebook may be... any chances ???? Please don't breakthe dream this time...:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Ever seen what RAM from a notebook look like? :eek:

Yeah, I checked it out, none available, damn it. Mind you, I am happy with my 128Mb board, so not complaining too much, would feel like an ungrateful bum otherwise.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Then the only option for you memory hungry monsters is to look at virtualizing. Either a swap file on the sd or using some of the internal rom to boost ram.

I'm sure someone can manage that, it won't be hugely fast but it would suffice.

As mentioned previously you could always look at other ram chips, who said they have to fit on the board in the original placement. Enigma you must be a dab hand by now, I think we've both stripped and repaired enough devices to know that you could always relocate chips with a bridge:cool:

I'm sure if people want it bad enough they'll find a way.

Cheers,

Beasty
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tomal:
Bridging is not easy!

1. there is not enough space inside

2. a separate board has to be made with the pin compatibility

3. new chips have to be installed on that bridge board

4. kernel patch...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Beasty, sweetie, I considered bridging at some point, but the space constraint had put an end to that idea. The internal architecture simply will not allow anything of a kind.

We should probably concentrate on making use of SD.

Yes, what Tomal said.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Oh, and Shift is really calling me these days. Trying to source a few hopeless invalids in bits to save on cost and make it interesting. Yes, I know it's a huge beast.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] phezthie:
sd as vitual memory

the shattering myth of uni lives on..:D:D

as i recall, i asked if sd ram may be used to compensate the need for more memory but most of the feedback pointed me to the negative side....

with the technical views presented in earlier posts, however, it appears it will be possible and doable. :) the only factor that is lacking is the devotion to do it. please let me know how we can persuade one, (aside from saying thanks of course) to make this one possible ... regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Cotulla:
it's not possible to extend RAM via SD card...at least SD have slow speed.

SD card speed about 1-2 mbytes per second in best case.

RAM have speed more than 100 mbytes per second.

The system will be very slow... also it's not easy to implemet this.

However I think 128 UNI have not memory problems with RAM in WM65...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
Exactly, the 128Mb upgrade solves any memory problem whether 6.1 or 6.5 with plenty of spare memory available even with multiple programs or memory hogs are running, so I don't really see any actual necessity for 256Mb upgrade. The current conversation reminds me of the ones where someone wants a super computer built, but when you ask them what will they use it for, the answer is to do workprocessing, send e-mails and play Solitaire.

I am forever grateful for my 128Mb upgrade, loved my Uni before the upgrade, love it even more after.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] orb3000:
Completly agree dear,

Just wanted to gps chip can be installed:o

and would be more perfect than already is! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] beast0898:
Well if it's just GPS now, I know there are white papers floating around as to which GPS was planned for the Uni.

Maybe someone can find them somewhere.

I'm sure Mamaich or Bepe had a conversation with me way back when about the GPS placement on the Uni mobo.

I think Ivan or Bepe did a JTAG mapping and then some, may be worth a PM to see if they know/remember anything.

Installing the Chip is the easy part, hacking the Radio stack and implementing the drivers (if they don't currently exist) will be the difficult bit.

Good luck and let me know if there's any help I can provide.

Beasty

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] domi007:
Thank you very much for mentioning me, but I must be honest: a new kernel cannot change the hardware limitations of the Uni.

With a Kaiser in my pocket and a Uni in my drawer I still say: Uni is somehow other and somehow very good :D.

(my favorite: Uni starting free RAM: 90 MB, after normal usage for a week 77MB, Kaiser: 60/30!)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TFGBD:
Have you ever looked into Skyhook's WPS solution. They offer a free Virtual GPS driver for Windows Mobile/Windows CE that uses their databse of wifi APs/cell towers to guess your location. Just make an account on the developer section of their site and you can download and try the driver for yourself. Skyhook is the same company that location enabled the original iPhone/iPod touch. They claim it works pretty well in dense city areas and a friend of mine with an iTouch pretty much confirmed that. I couldn't actually get a fix in my area with the Universal but I didn't really try it far outside my home in more populated areas.

http://www.skyhookwireless.com/developers/

Oh, those crazy russian hackers and their secrets! Is it CE 5.0 or 6.0? Are there any screenshots of this guy's ROM?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
Uni can pin point your location if you are using googlemap with wifi.. strange but only works with wifi not with activesycn and any other method... :D:D:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] -Jonny-:
hmm, not too useful - there's only a certain distance I can get from my WiFi - and even then, I'm usually able to find my way back home :D:D:D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] enigma1nz:
The only Wi-Fi I use is at the airport, otherwise in NZ it's too expensive to bother.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rajivshahi:
same here.... but we do have some free wifi hotspot around city... but no avail for navigation... so the only option is to get exclusive gps or use map.... well i don't like carrying external gps so i've got sygic tele atlas which gives me detailed map so i can navigate around....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Mindrage:
I really like the way Uni is.. but the things lacking like GPS and the RAM is always annoying me..

When will they release a newer verision of this phone? It still beats most phones today.

I wish this phone would been developed.. Its the most like the Uni and mostly improved.

I-mate Ultimate 7150

HTC What takes you so long for a new Ultra Phone!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] arampatla:
Every time one comes across this phone, its picture, its name you get to slow down a bit on what you doing and dream you had some thing like that with a bit of buildin gps feature, you start to search around trying to find some altinatives but nothing just close no match, by now i think some manufactures if they are doing maketing even at a standard level they should have sujested that WE (we are so many, in many forums) are in need of the Ultimate 7150 which only exist in our dreams but yet a hungry inventive industry with all possebilities...

then try to create a GPS Driver?

Yer thats right, may be someone with some scrap gps devices might be helpfull and find out where the fitting bga GPS chip was redirected...:) may be some of the new devices around may have one. If that happens and the uni also get 128Ram then the uni will beat most new devices!

Hi,

Recently I have a problem that my HTC Magic won't connect to Internet using mobile communications: 3G/EDGE/GPRS and I could not find any setting that would turn off/on the Internet connection.

WiFi works fine.

My phone:

1.) Model number: HTC Magic

2.) Firmware Version 1.5

3.) Baseband Version 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I

4.) Kernel Version 2.6.27-00393-g6607056

5.) Build Number CRC1
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CLLC:
Hi antsh85 ,

When i want to disable Internet I do this : To be able to turn data on and off , follow these instructions

Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Press Menu -> New APN -> fill in the field Name with the word "blank" and press OK -> Fill in the field APN with the word "blank" and press ok -> Press Menu -> Save -> You are now done.

Now , when you want internet you select the Vodafone APN {the original} , If you don't select the "blank" APN profile we just created

CLLC :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ronni.rasmussen:
Yeah it sure sounds like a missing APN after rom flash :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CLLC:
Whoops , My bad ! :D

I think i misinterpreted your Original post , I agree with Ronni.rasmussen.

What network are you using and where? UK Vodafone HTC Magic?

Just reply and we'll see if we can give you the right APN

I have Finger Keyboard 2.1 installed and the CE-Star Chinese input keyboard also installed. When switching input by pressing the "up" arrow next to the input selector when typing a message, it seems to lag for at least 10 seconds! :mad:

I've read something about removing CLSID and re-import that registry but all it did was cripple my X1 (had to re-flash). :(

I'm not sure if it's all the software I've installed because after a fresh hard-reset, the input selector pops up immediately basically.

Does anyone know the keywords I should search or someone has a good patch/fix for this? :D
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannigan174:
I hope you tried a search. I have used this fix many times, it is completely safe, but you have to follow directions carefully. Just rename CLSID and rename it back to CLSID. Do not need to export or import or anything. If you fail to import because you do not know how you will have to hard-reset your device.

Before making a new thread you should post to the relevant thread. This thread is a waste of space.

[G1 Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
it says autostart.txt does not exist do I need to create it?
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
Make sure that you run the chmod command. It can't start automatically if you don't. Other than that, make sure the file has the correct name. I added the .txt to post it here so I hope that doesn't screw people up. If none of that works, try adding this line to your a2sd file in Cyanogen (as far as I know he still has that in 4.1.6)

/system/bin/sh /data/opt/autostart.sh

That will tell the ROM to start it automatically. On xROM I named it setPriority.sh because it made more sense. The autostart is only required for people who want to use that app.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
It probably hasn't run if you are getting that message. Try running it manually

sh /data/opt/autostart.sh

and see if that works. If it doesn't give you any errors try running the cat command again. If the script runs but isn't autostarting, look at my other post and try that stuff. If that doesn't fix it, let me knw.
[G1 Android Development] ccyrowski:
shouldn't it be sh /system/bin/autostart.sh

or

sh /system/bin/setPriority.sh

Thats how I had it configured in the Hero Roms.
[G1 Android Development] miketaylor00:
For the autostart app to use it, it has to be in the /data/opt/ directory. It makes more sense to be in /system/bin/ directory though.
