[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Its an actual GPS chips set... will use the internet to down load data to help it fix a position quickly... essentially data telling the handset where the satellites are.

Also will use the position itself initially using the cell towers for a rough location, then update as soon as the GPS gets a fix.

TBH, the Hero gets a satellite fix faster than any handset I've used before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood9656:
So the GPS does use data but hardly any?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Uses data, and yes, hardly any. If you turn off data it will just take longer to get a fix while it searches for satellites.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood9656:
Thanks i could still use the opinion of someone who uses there phone lots for internet and things like that as im still not sure weather 500mb is enough.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
I've still to get an out of memory error.

The Hero has plenty of RAM, all handled very well by the OS.

Search the Hero forum, see if you can find anyone saying their Hero keeps running out of RAM :rolleyes:

And RAM is not the same as storage... the Hero has enough RAM for running apps and IMHO enough memory to store applications.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
To answer to your questions,:

1. app that use internet are internet browser, weather widget, gmaiul, the htc mail app, peep .... .depends also what soft you downloaded from the market.

2.The 500mb you're refering too here is the ROM. Yes it is sufficient for lots of applications. If you really want, you can also download application to your memory card using a2sd.Check the modaco site or paul's thread of his custom rom. As for RAM, the hero comes with 288mb. this is what makes the phone lag or not. If you have a lot of apps running in the background, it obviously will eat a lot of RAM but don't worry cause taskiller is here to save the day and good news is that a new firmware will be out soon that fix this. (check the youtube vid)

3.Well if you don't want applications to use the internet, you can configure them not to update and just do so manually. Mobile Network and wifi cannot connect at the same time. so once connected to wifi, mobile network will be temporarily off.

Hope that helped!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Believe me, you don't need a task killer or task management app.

Android will manage your RAM very effectively given the chance.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
hey joemax,

In fact android manages it very well indeed but i sometimes feel the need of more ram. Even with rss feeds, facebook application, mails n stuff, browser open, the phone responds good, no doubt abt that but if you try to load a game such as devilry huntress ( LOL )on top of that, you'll find all the jewels( or whatever it's called) falling in slow motion.

But yes, the os in majority of the cases takes care of it . I just mentioned it to give a full answer to our friend here .:p:p:p

Cheers/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Fair enough.

Just I have not seen any slow downs since logging out of Twitter, stoping Peeps updates and started using Twidroid.

Then, I don't play games on my Hero apart from maybe Teeter or Labyrinth now and again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood9656:
Thanks agian well i just upgraded and got 1gb monthly data so i should be fine now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Ahhhh... you meant 500MB data plan :o

Sorry I thought you were on about handset memory.

Glad you upgraded... I have an unlimited plan so do not worry about such things :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood9656:
Well i see your with orange and if you look at their unlimited* plan it has that star well that means fair use policy and the fair use policy is so that you can't over use it,

so im affraid to say that its a 500mb of data limit.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
Depends on when you signed up for it ;)

I started my unlimited plan when the Touch Diamond came out. It was only available while they had initial stocks of the handset, then rapidly withdrawn.

By using my Nokia N82 and then N85 (TD went back as its battery was useless and syncing to OS X painful) as a tethered modem (via Bluetooth), I easily racked up over a Gig of data on multiple months, max one month was 1.9GB.

Used instead of lousy hotel wired internet connect. HSPDA was sooo much faster.

NEVER had an issue with a limit or usage.

This may of course be dependant on my history with Orange, I've been with them for over 8 years and I use my handset for work mainly, thus I have very large bills compared to the average user.

Gives me a very high category for upgrades and a very large point score with Orange premiere. On an 18 month contract I usually upgrade at around 9-10 months with no fee and no questions.

:D
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blood9656:
well thats pretty good but then you have been with them for 8 years.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
I am that old yes :):)

[Touch HD Accessories] acolytelee:
Hi,

after a long year, I finally will get my HTC HD.

accessories are on the way, too:

Sennheiser CX 95

sandisk 16 gb sdhc

Black Silicone Cover Case + Film

Handsfree Remote Control for HTC Touch

I will post my review of these things later when I get it. It would be nice if someone can comment on my selection.
[Touch HD Accessories] shruff:
I am interested, did the handsfree remote work?
[Touch HD Accessories] acolytelee:
I guess it will arrive this week. At least from the ebay page, the seller said it's a remote control that does volume up/down, forward/backward, answer/hang up...

Hope it works
[Touch HD Accessories] shruff:
the stock headset will do play, fwd, bck, answer and hang up, just not volume, so a simple volume control should be no problem to incorporate, therefore should work.

Does the add specifically state it is for HD and is it mini USB or 3.5mm jack?
[Touch HD Accessories] acolytelee:
http://ewwt.net/Photo/11527.jpg

The seller says it works with HD and there is a 3.5mm connection for ear-plugs. This is a good combination with cx 95 style, since the wire is very short.
[Touch HD Accessories] acolytelee:
I should have done more research on the usb remote control

obviously, it doesn't work with HD.

what the heck is wrong with HD develop team? with bother to put a ext-usb with out audio output?
[Touch HD Accessories] casefan7:
The Touch HD does have audio output on the extUSB port. Maybe on different pins though than your wired remote uses?
[Touch HD Accessories] acolytelee:
Not it doesn't. The extusb has pins for audio but they are simple not connected!

The ebay seller I mentioned before also made wrong description. Shall I spend 5 euro to send it back so that I can get $6 refund (not the $12 I paid coz shipping cost is non-refundable)? no, I just keep it and maybe send to someone who has a diamond and give the seller a negative feedback.
[Touch HD Accessories] casefan7:
You are right, I wasn't properly informed. Since I read an other thread about video-out on the Touch HD, I thought that next to the video signal, also the audio signal was transfered via the extUSB. Now I understand that all audio goes throught the 3.5mm audio jack at the top. :o

Isn't there any way to solder those pins on the extUSB to the internal audio connectors? This way everyone could use usb headphones and usb wired remotes.

can anybody help me how to install some certificates? I need one to connect to the wifi in my school.. I tried make a cab but it do not works..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ztracenyDen:
Copy the certificate file to your device, open file explorer and click the file ;) You should see message "Certificates were installed"... I think that's all, at least that's how it worked for me :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TOpazzz:
It does not work for me .. I have tried it.. It says it can not open such file
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ztracenyDen:
Try using .cer files. If your school doesn't have those, try googling some converter from other formats to .cer ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] TOpazzz:
thank you a lot..it worked...don´t you know how should I use this certificate when I´am logging in to the wifi in school?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ztracenyDen:
just turn on Wi-Fi and follow the instructions on screen. You will just have to choose correct encryption type, input username and password and then it will automatically use installed certificate to ensure that the connection is secure.

certificates - how to make your own?

Dear Forum, I really have problems with several apps, having .Net-framework 2.0 AND 3.5 installed at my devices - My problem: some apps simply don`t run, even by changing the Application policy from one to the other or to default.

I oftenly get the error - GNAgent.exe - .......

So if I would be able to create my own cert can I give allowences to several apps with problems?

thxs for answering

regards
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] ztracenyDen:
Hi, why do you think your own certificate will help?

GNAngent.exe is part of Google Navigator, maybe uninstalling (or reinstalling) it will solve your problems as well.

Anyway, here is a mention how to install self-signed cert: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=281723

You can also try DisableCertChk utility.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] herpi:
I never mess with the registry so I am sure I did not do that myself.

But when I open the startmenu I see TWO agenda's (or calendar in English?) left and right of the contacts button in the middle.

Both buttons bring me to the Windows Calendar day view.

--

The settings (instellingen) button is where it should be: row two on the left.

Now I remember that the top left button used to bring up the 3d screen. So that one has changed.

How come?

As those four buttons are protected a program installer must have changed it.

The last major program I installed is Navigon. I also played with VolDpad.

How come?

Read Rhodium ROOM for info then you think that I have an HD and BIG screen makes difference ;)

With TP probabily you could have little device but I'll buy TP2: bigger screen, higher res, new CPU, QWERTY with good keys and official WM6.5 Upgrade (but cooked ROMs are better ;) )

D'rath
[General Questions and Answers] heyi'm here:
thanks for advice, but big screen with me is not a big deal at all, you know, i have small finger so big screen is kind of hard for me to use with only one hand, but maybe in some cases big screen can be good (like when watching movie or video,v..v) the only thing i like in the Touch Pro is the high res, wonderful keyboard and awesome titling...i wish Touch Pro has it, that would be so cool...
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] barneypooch:
Quoting from a review at youwantthat:

"However, HTC did make the same mistake as they made with the Dream (G1): in normal lighting conditions, if the keyboard light comes on, the keys themselves become virtually unreadable. I know, this is not supposed to happen in daylight conditions, but for some reason it sometimes does, and sometimes doesn’t."

Exactly. The backlight makes it really, really hard to use the (silver) keyboard in daylight!

Please, do any of you clever chaps know how to fix this?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acolytelee:
I would like to make a list of all apps I use, which should be the apps most people need.

The advantage and disadvantage of PPC is that they are too many apps for the same task. and the quality, stability are different from one to another.

That's why I think it is necessary to make a list
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] konidair:
the apps one uses is not what the most people need.what is useful for me might not be useful for you and so on.The list is a very personal thing, it depends on personal tastes and needs.

Also not all applications are free.Some prefer freeware with limited functions and some other people don't mind paying for better software.

for example Gps Cycle is a good free sport Gps software but you can't compare it to the RunGPS UV(not free).

so i did the 1-click rooting thing BUT the problem is that i wasnt supposed to let my phone reboot into normal mode and that caused the process to become undone. now, when trying to boot into recovery, i get the exclamation mark with the 3 options. please help me @___@ i'd rerun the recovery flasher program BUT my phone was wiped too and i cant get past the gmail screen. i have no data plan:(

android reflashed my recovery partition with the built-in backup DDDDDDDDDD:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
If you get a recovery image when pressing home and end than youhave a recovery just boot a rooted rom like cyan's in and you will be good to go, you can acess your sd on a computer by going into recoverey console and typing ums_enable to mount your sd and ums_diable to unmount
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annathesmex:
i dont think i can, because my phone rebooted into normal mode and android reflashed my recovery partition with the built-in backup, so i dont get the usual recovery mode screen. i have the exclamation markw here you have to press alt+L and theres only options to wipe, install the update.zip and reboot.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Alright then you will need to find a way to acess your card like another phone or card reader if you can not get past that, once you can read, download a rom and rename it update.zip, if you are windows it hides the extension so just rename to update, by the way how did you get the orignal recovery if you used the one click witch flashes cm recovery 1.4 were you have a lot more options and don't have to hit alt-whatever
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annathesmex:
i did use flash cm recovery. but like it said, after rebooting into normal mode on accident, android reflashed my recovery partition. i wouldve had the screen with more options if that hadent happened. and i wiped too, so i couldnt access the phone due to being locked out because of the stupid log in screen. by the way, do you know how to get past it without another sim and data plan?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
The recovery image is immune to wipes and partion cleaning, it is deep in the sif you get acess to your sd and put a rom on there ystem, without an adp phone, there really no way past that login without a custom rom, yes painif in the ass, try another sim get into phone and reflash the recovery to go any farther, once you have cm recovery 1.4 than you can really go, if you can put a rom on your sd before reflashing recovery and you can not get it go past the recovey that you are on now than you do not have permission and you are not rooted

You may have a problem with the SPL as you are using a non-stock ROM..

Don't panick, the [HSPL]Hard-SPL for Blackstone thread details how to restore the stock SPL if things go wrong, and how to install an updated Hard SPL or USPL for the purposes of using non-stock ROMs.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mepow:
Hi guys,

First off I want to say this site is great in what it is doing for the mobile phone world! This is my first post and I am a noob so be gentle haha! Well ok, i've messed up my g1 phone and its almost bricked. I think I have identified two problems:

Problem 1:

I was trying to partition my sd card using a method from a site called theunlockr.com. Where they used the apps2sd software:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_7n1g8jXgY

After performing the procedure, my 2 gig sd card cannot be read on my computer (comes up with "insert disc") and cannot be read on my phone as well. My SD card is completely wiped and I tried formatting it again but it still cannot be read.

Problem 2:

I tried to reboot my phone and now it gets to g1 tmobile screen but no further. To turn the phone off I have to take out the battery.

I can get into the recovery utility using the pwr and home buttons so I do not believe it is bricked, but as my computer cannot read the sd card, I am not able to copy any roms to make any progress.

My question is whether if after buying a new sd card and formatting it, can I simply reflash of my ROM by doing "alt & S" to make it work? The reason why I ask is whether I should simply send it back to TMob and play dumb to get a new phone or buy a new sd card and usb reader.

I am looking at it too simply and there is more to it? E.g have I messed around too much and damaged the file system links etc on my phone. Will a reflash of the cynogen rom using the recovery utility completely reset my phone and get me passed the boot screen loader to the operating system?

I had the following set up on my phone:

Firmware: Cyanogen 4.02

Recovery Image: 1

Recovery Utility build: JF v1.43

Thanks for your input!

Mepow!
