An other reason which appears in my diamond : he doesn't show the 3G logo until i'm connecting to data. (For example i have EDGE logo, and after he shows H logo...)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lovesick_joe:
Hi,

May i know how do i check the frequencies???

My network provider does have 3G support. i use my sim card into other phone it show 3G signal. But when i tranfer back to Diamond no 3G signal...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] lovesick_joe:
I tryed Data too... But it does not show also...

Hi folks!

Yesterday i realized a strange message while open up the device information tool.

ExtPkg version: Fail_Pkg_OpenPackageByGUID

Does anybody know what's the reason for this message?

Is it because i flashed WWE ROM on a german phone?

Should i check for SuperCID?

The history of my device so far:

1. Unbranded Phone and unlocked phone with german stock R1A ROM

2. Applied Hard-SPL

3. Updated to german stock R2A (full update, flashed sucessfully after recovery)

4. Updated Radio ROM to 1.14.25.55 (single update)

5. Flashed some cooked 6.5 WWE ROMs

Decided to go back to 6.1 and ...

6. Finally flashed Smaberg's Touch X 10.1 ULTIMATE X-TREME (awesome ROM :D)

Would be nice to clear things up a bit!

Regards,

scholbert

How to check for SuperCID

O.K. call me stupid or whatever you like, but it's not that easy to get definite info about how to check for SuperCID.....

Anyway, connected to mtty and info 2 gave me HTCS00000000....

My device is definitely SIM unlocked but seems to got no SuperCID.

Any comments on that?

scholbert
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jonny4911:
erm that bit doesn't really matter at all, i've almost always had that on a lot of custom ROMs doesn't mean athing! its jus probably means there not clogging up the rom by cooking in an extra unneeded package!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scholbert:
Thanks for reply Jonny4911!

O.k. understand, so ExtPkg is similar to EXTROM on other HTC devices, right?

As a conclusion this has nothing to do with SuperCID in particular.

Apart from that would be interesting, how to check SuperCID :confused:

Regards,

scholbert
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] PMelky:
check 26878a50-7cc4-44d9-a632-2cc2419a49f2.dsm file
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] scholbert:
Hi PMelky!

Nice answer ;)

What is to be checked :confused:

Anyway, on my device there's no such file (using custom ROM)

Would be very nice if you could leave a short comment on this, please...

scholbert
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cmonex:
it is supercid if it is "HTCS00000000" :)

im thinking of upgrading to an omnia hd do you guys think thats a good idea i was thinking touch hd but i wanted a capacitive touch screen. Im in America so will it work with tmobile plus the tmobile 3g and will i get all the firmware updates for it. If you guys dont think this is a good idea what phone do you think i should get i want something with really good graphics to watch movies on lol thank in advance.
[Off-topic] Cheeze[iT]:
I thought about the Omnia HD as well. Seems to have a nice screen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it shouldn't work on T-Mobiles 3G. There aren't that many selections of phoens that would. Have you looked at the Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile? It has 3G and a keyboard which allows the screen to be tilted so you can put it on a desk to watch videos nicely.
[Off-topic] ruffrider5956:
ya but it has the resistive touch screen which i dont like and will it work on the 2g network with tmobile since it doesnt work with the 3g service
[Off-topic] galaxys:
it will work on gsm edge (2g)...
[Off-topic] AD29368:
I've got a omnia hd (previous phone htc touch) and some things are amazing screen, camera 3d multitasking, capacitive screen hopefully more apps soon with the app store really need some good games to take advantage of the grpahics capabilities would be ace to port android or win mo 6.5 to it tho as i don't think symbian really takes advantage of the hardware. Thank you Nokia for that they bring out a load of underpowered phones then give them an outdated OS. S60V5 does look archaic compared to the new touch flow. That said i do really enjoy using this phone just want to get more from it although with custom \ROMS available now we may see improvements coming from the user base
[Off-topic] mma123:
I couldn't find any robust forum (like XDA) for Omnia. Where to look for custom ROMS, apps, etc?
[Off-topic] ruffrider5956:
where do you find the new roms being created for the omnia and also so the omnia hd's 2g does work with tmobile gsm 2g correct.
[Off-topic] Limlin:
Is it safe for the phone? Where can find the detailed steps to do that??
[Off-topic] ruffrider5956:
do you guys think it would be better to get a zune hd and carry that with my g1 around or buy a omnia hd and just carry that one device around. Im asking because i have to order it online so i cant play with it but since some of you might have it you can chime in also hows hd video play back do your movies go good with the song or is it off key not recording thought like actual dvd movies thanks guys.

I just received my treo 750 but cannot connect to pc with active sync wont detect ? Im using usb cable which can also charge !
[General Questions and Answers] nohctis:
Hi,

I'm not sure if this was already asked, but anyway..

Is there an anti-virus application for WM that can detect virus designed for PC? Since our devices or even its storage card can act as an external drive, its likely prone to be carrier of the virus. Is there an app (anti-virus) that can detect it instantly in our phone without attaching it to PC then scan?

Why?

Since every PC do have different anti-virus (some are good, mostly bad :D, some are none), its good if we can detect first our device before plugging it to other PCs or devices.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Rudegar:
never heard of it but scanning for all known pc virus on a pda would take days

cpu and io performance on a pda is way slower then a pc even if the pc use a cpu with the same Mhz the pda does
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ahardie:
I'm hoping some Diamond users can help me with some questions I have.

I use memory-map os software and have been usinng it on an ipaq ppc. The ipaq has just died on me so I need a new device and rather than carry two gadgets around with me it seems to make sense to buy a smart phone. This has to be a windows device to run memory-map and the Diamond 2 seems to be the best such device in my price bracket.

The questions I haven't so far found an answer for :-

1)How long does the battery last for while using gps? Most users seem to use their gps for road naviagation in the car so don't have a problem with this but I will be using it for hiking.

2)Can the display be turned off while using the display to extend battery life?

3)How quickly does the gps obtain a fix?

TIA

Alan
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jgobeil:
Hi Alan,

I have been using GPS software with my Diamond for the last year and have mixed feelings about it.

TomTom Navigator 7 - works great - almost immediate fix - highly recommended. Works as well as a dedicated car GPS except screen is smaller.

PathAway GPS 5 with SoftMaps maps. Works fine - sometimes slow to get a fix - track log to .GPX file unreliable, you never know if it works or not and cannot rely on it because of that. Nice Pocket Mode where the unit is in sleep mode with GPS on.

GPSCycleComputer - great freeware application - live track upload to crossingways.com - I use it a lot to measure distance, speed, and build .GPX track logs to geocode my photos. I have not used it with maps.

The Diamond/GPS system has 2 problems IMO:

Problem 1: reliability. When in the field, you have to rely to your GPS and, IMO, this is not possible with my Diamond. It is too easy to hit a button accidently and disable the software. I tried different lock applications to no avail - I cannot be 100% sure, like with my Garmin GPSMap 60 CSx. Switching to another application - like phone, voice recorder or camera - and coming back is also often a problem.

Problem 2: battery life. It is possible to turn off the screen to improve battery life but you can never be sure it will resume back on - unreliable.

My Diamond is the North American unlocked version and has a 1340mah battery. Here are 2 examples of battery life:

GPSCycleComputer

Set to read GPS every minute

Set to send track to crossingways.com every minute

Set to register a .GPX track file

Phone and internet ON

Screen off

Battery life: about 4 hours

PathAway GPS 5

Screen ON 25% Pocket mode 75%

Set to register a .GPX track file

Phone and internet ON

Battery life: 2 to 3 hours

Conclusion:

In car use with TomTom: fine

Field use: as a gadget and a toy: yes - as a reliable tool to find your way back if you get lost: definitely NO. However, it is fun to use.

Regards

Jules
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ahardie:
Thanks for your reply Jules. That is very helpful. It sounds like the Diamond will not do the main job I want it for then.

Memory Map with hTC diamond

Works very well on Diamond. Quick GPS fix. Battery life not great as in most GPS phones. I just have the map loaded & use as necessary. I would not be without it. Also works very well with tom Tom & Garmin XT.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] steveianson:
Like you, i used MM on an ipaq and now use it on the HTC. The big adavantage over the HTC over the ipaq is that you can switch it to standby to conserve battery power and it will immediatly come back to life with gps signal.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mastabog:
You should know that there are extened batteries for diamond that take the battery life to really high values. I posted a review of a 3000 mah Mugen battery here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3447797#post3451845 (read the posts after that as well, for instance this one) ... it is a huge battery but well worth if you are looking for something for "in the field". There is also a Mugen 2000 mah version and an official HTC 1350 mah version. The Mugen ones are *very* high quality, don't confuse them with the cheap chinese/asian crap that are all over ebay or the internet.

I've never had the problem with the screen coming back on when I don't want it and I use GPS Cycle Computer all the time. You switch off the screen from the GPSCC interface and it stays that way (unless someone calls you or you power it on from the power button, of course).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ahardie:
Thanks for the replies. Very helpful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mjaxa:
Last but not least - in my hikes i don't look constantly at GPS - I prefer the views, so only sometimes I check my position on track crossing, or when I'm not sure of my position.

GPS fix - flash better radio, and you will have instant fix (outdoors), try 1.15

Switching off - just use the sleep button. It will switch the gps off.

Good luck!

All in all it's just a new interface and copy and paste functionality...

I'm a bit disappointed..

I can see Sh*t on my Xperia 800*480 3' display... Everything is so tiny that is unusable...

They should put some setting to make zoomed interface for bigger resolution (like Xperia)

Also old problem using large font size is causing overlapping of letters... and all looks mixed up .. . is not solved...

So almost nothing has been changed of all problem that I had on my Xperia... and all WVGA resolution Mobile phones...

One more thing: Automatic changing (when opening keyboard) from portrait to landscape does not work

Opera Mini 5 beta is now available

This is the day you've all been waiting for! Opera Mini 5 beta is hereby ready for download.

As you know, we've been working on this version for quite a while. When you see the end result, we're sure you'll think the waiting was worthwhile. To download, go to http://m.opera.com/next, but please note that phone support varies from previous versions of Opera Mini.

Some key features:

* New, sleek design

* Tabbed browsing

* Password manager

* Inline text editing

* Copy-and-paste function

* We have made a special, native version for BlackBerry which includes opening links and copy-and-paste functions

Known issues:

* No Android version yet, but we're working on it :smile:

* All Palm devices will have to stick with 4.2, as they aren't capable of running 5

* Downloads, feeds and Opera Link are all disabled in the Beta while we polish the implementation

* Devices with little memory may have problems, in general, and some may not be able to run Opera Mini 5 at all.

* Devices with small resolution (less than QVGA, 240 в 320) are not recommended to try the beta

For more info, please read the press release

As always, we welcome your feedback in our forum, and please report any bugs in our bug report wizard. Thanks!

Enjoy Opera Mini 5 beta! :yes:

Best regards,

The Opera Mini team

I think that I'm going to stick to good old OM4.2 until they resolve this big energy consumption problem...
[XPERIA X1 General] doministry:
Well, basically it can do much more than 4.2, like tabbed browsing.

Rendering is perfect. And it's REALLY fast.

It has bugs of course but another miracle has been done.

[XPERIA X1 General] pokdub:
I really like this new browser, and I havent got to use all its features yet.

Some problems with drop down menus on a web page, but maybe this could also be an issue with the website coding itself, ie not browser friendly.
[XPERIA X1 General] zannyboy:
Anyone know why when installed on my phone it has the java logo instead of the Opera one?
[XPERIA X1 General] Dr.Sid:
Use Mauro Venturini shortcut creator for changing the icon. You can copy icon from Opera mobile.

Actually for me this beta works nice. I would not use it, since it does not have opera link yet, so I can't use all my bookmarks .. and if some page was rendered bad in old opera mini, it is the same here, as it is more problem of Opera proxy servers (it is same with Opera mobile turbo mode).

Anyway all I can say is I like it.
[XPERIA X1 General] vinokirk:
because its a java applet not a windows app. Same as if you installed java need for speed or something
[XPERIA X1 General] rarewolf:
If I follow the online instructions, my X1a then opens a Java app and indicates that it is installing a "midlet". After 30 sec it shows an error(?)

If I go to the Opera website via my desktop's browser to see if I can download an installer, I see a 'JAD' and 'JAR' download, but I don't know which is appropriate(?)

Please advise ...

Obviously the fastboot method doesn't work since it's 2.73.405+, but it seems the workaround with FlashRec isn't working either.

The device is listed as "ADB Interface" > "HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface".

But the SDK tool adb returns "error: device not found".

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Luna K:
Hi!

I have a question:

I'm from Belgium and bought my HTC Hero also there. You had 2 choices: buy it in a Mobistar-pack (Mobistar is a provider, I think what you call "Orange") or buy it in the official package (the white box with all the icons on the side).

I bought it in the OFFICIAL package.

When i booted up the phone, I immediately looked at the ROM-version: I have 2.73.1100.5

So I think that my Hero has the new ROM already (out of the box) installed that eliminates the lag... (because of the 2.73...)

Now, yesterday, HTC released a NEW ROM-update for BELGIUM, entitled "ROM upgrade for HTC Hero (Orange BELGIUM) ". This has build-number 2.73.66.5

Do I have to install this new update as well ? Or is this update just for the Orange/Mobistar Hero's (those that came in a Mobistar-pack), meaning that those Hero's haven't had the new ROM that eliminates the lag (they need a custom ROM by Mobistar with some provider-settings etc... ) ?

I'm a bit confused by all this...

Thanks in advance !

greets ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] unicatcher:
You already have version 2.73.1100.5 (which is newer) so you can't update it to 2.73.66.5.

That would actually be called 'downgrading' your phone.

If you are looking to upgrade and lift some of the restrictions imposed by the Belgian build, you should probably look into a custom rom.

They are not as hard to install as they might seem at first :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TJ!:
The only thing you need to be concerned about in terms of ROM version is the first two sets of numbers.

ie: 2.73

The other two numbers are related to carrier and region iirc and would only be of importance if you need to get rid of some specific regional or carrier restrictions in the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] foxmeister:
No - the important part of the build number is the 2.73 - the rest just indicates carrier/region.

For example, 2.73.110.26 (T-Mobile UK build) was released after 2.73.405.6 (HTC build) and contained the "fixes" that prevented most rooting methods other than using a goldcard.

Regards,

Dave.
