[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tonefour:
So I wanted to use my Touch Pro 2 (sprint) as a music player. After trying a few music players, because I did not like touch flo 3d's, I stuck with winvibe. anyways I managed to MESS the ringtone playback up...

So what is happening now is: my phone will not play any mp3 ringtone or choose any mp3 ringtone. if I choose a mp3 file as a ringtone, sound, etc, it will not let me choose it (windows setting will not let me choose it). this doesn't mean mp3s don't work, I can play them fine on windows media player and the music player. it just won't play back as a ringtone in the settings and can't be selected as a ringtone.

These were the last two major things I had done since it was last working properly:

1) I did a file association in WinVibe to all supported files (mp2, mp3, ogg, wma, m4a, wav, wpl).

2) While playing back music, I made a call to my celphone (that was playing music) to see if the ringtone would go off causing the music player to stop.

It was at step 2 where I noticed this bug. since then I can't figure out how to go about fixing the problem.

any one experience this while music playback? what music player did you use and did ringtone function properly or interrupt the music player?

any help, fix, info, or comment will be appreciated.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tonefour:
additional info: I don't think file association is the problem. There are some sound files that are unaffected. it's the very few short alarms (which I think are all wav).

soft restart did not solve problem either..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
What "setting" did you use to set your ringtone?

Click into Windows Mobile settings, then go to Personal > Phone, are you able to choose and set your ringtone through that?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tonefour:
doesn't matter, through that, the windows settings > sound & notifications or the manila touchflo 3d, settings > sound. they all don't work.

I just bought T Mobile G1 2 days ago, and I want to update it from 1.1 to 1.5

But I have different phone information from the tutorial that I read, so I'm still using 1.1 version.

This is the description:

Baseband version

62.33.20.08u_1.22.12.29

Kernel version

2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0

android-build@apa27 #6

Build number

123099

I have no idea what RC number that I'm using.

Please Help mem I really want to update this phone to access some new application.

Thank you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theartar:
Are you rooted and in the US? If it is a stock US phone 1.5 should come OTA.

If you don't want to wait, see this: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-install-android-15-cupcake-us-version
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riowahab:
Nope, I'm at Germany. OTA?! What is that?! Sorry, I new at this.

Is it the process save?Because I'm afraid it is only for US or UK.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theartar:
OTA = over the air. Basically your phone service provider will automatically send you the update in a few days.

However, I am not knowledgeable about Germany, and don't know what OS version is used there, how OTA updates work, and most of all whether or not that link is a US only version (99% sure it is - especially because the link says "US version").

Good luck finding help. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidChill:
you would probably just be better off rooting and getting the newest ROM.

here is the information i found most useful for me when i first rooted.

here are the links to Cyanogen's stable & experimental roms, i've used both and i personally love the experimental version.

hope this helps.

What win7

I have win7RC-64

Plugged in, downloaded active sync and installed perfectly. On your phone, there is a setting under connections I believe, under USB, and you have to check or uncheck the little box, something like allow connections over USB.

Check it.

Also, try running windows update again, it should work like magic
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ledbythereaper:

Well its just like the title, it won't detect the battery, its aways saying "unknown" in the battery settings and every time I turn on my device(not soft reseting) it tells me that the charge is very very low and should be recharged as soon as possible, still the battery is unknown.

Well since the warranty has run out I thought it might be a hardware defect and left it at that, it is annoying but I can live with it. But just now I tried Linux for the apache and low and behold the battery meter is working telling me I have 73% battery charge left and after a bit 72%. So it must be the Windows mobile software I'm using that can't find the battery(And I've tried quite a few ROM's). Before I tried linux I looked and looked for a solution to my problem and couldn't find one but I did find some people who had the same problem as me. I've tried reseting the battery values, running the battery out the doing a hard reset but to no avale. I'm lost in this so any help would be great!

Thanks,

Why isn't anyone adding Skyfire as the default browser on any of these ROMS? Just asking. I've heard great things about Skyfire but I'm guessing you guys must know something that I don't. I'm sure there has to be a reason. Would it work with the Push Internet function on Rhodium?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] SoulCatharsis:
When I had my smartphone I used skyfire all the time, but when I started using HTC devices skyfire just looked crappy to be honest. Its pretty low resolution and opera looks soo much better.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] HeavyComponent:
Yup yup!

Low res

Crappy looking

I ONLY use it for flash player to stream videos off websites.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Robes1:
i knew there was a reason.

but does Opera support flash and play videos on as many sites as Skyfire?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] HeavyComponent:
Robes1,

Opera doesn't support flash, but you can stream off it. I have Coreplayer so when I click on a video off a website like youtube. Coreplayer would open up and play the video. Unlike Skyfire it would open right from the site and play. :D

I have a different problem, ive had my TP2 for 2 days now and flashed my first ever rom onto a phone just last night (thanks to the great walkthrough on this site)

So I went to put skyfire on my phone but when I go to the skyfire site on my phone it tells me it's not compatible with my phone? I don't think I'm doing something right. I downloaded the skyfire software to my computer, same with google maps, and I guess I just dont know how to add applications to my phone. I couldn't find a walkthrough on how to add apps through any faq or with the search function (including google searching lol)

I apologize for being such a noob but can anyone help? I imagine adding an app should be as simple as clicking dragging and setting up but I guess I'm just not technologically smart enough to grasp this. Any help would be appreciated!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] splayer7:
make sure that you are installing the cab file. If I remember correctly, you can download a pc installer and a cab file. the cab file is what you install on the phone. I use skyfire all the time even though it looks terrible on my beautiful TP2 screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pnxsinned:
Opera does support flash. Search for fixOperaFlash on xda, and you'll find it ;) The only thing opera doesn't support = Silverlight, which skyfire does :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] elazullizard:
hmm... Silverlight's great and all, but I see it being used more for interactive applications than passive media. I thought that skyfire wasn't being built for games?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GamerGuy80:
roms not having manila folder

about everyone adding opera as default browser having it embedded in the rom is a bit of a pain. it seems that a lot of them are removing the manila folder out from application data folder and also removing the internetportal.xml file. that file was able to be edited and have you launch whatever browser you wanted from the internet tab in touchflo3d. only rom i have found that still has this folder and file is Romeos rom v1.04 which is available to download. u can then go here http://www.fuzemobility.com/how-to-change-the-tf3d-default-browser/ and make skyfire your default. works with romeo rom

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] JeffATL:
Yeah but is it functionally better than opera?

I have IE, Opera 9.7 and Opera Mobile. Not sure if I should try to uninstall one of the previous and install skyfire.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tarroyo:
Opera runs smoother than Skyfire, Stick with Opera.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] worwig:
A short time back Skyfire did come out with a version that greatly improves the resolution on VGA and WVGA devices.

Skyfire uses a proxy server. So your data all travels to and from someone elses storage. There is the potential of them collecting personal info on you. Not that I'm paranoid, but it is a good reason for a manufacturer not to build it into a device.

Skyfire tends (IMHO) to not handle a lot of different web sites. I have more issues with it then Opera.

But I keep it installed in case I want to visit a flash enabled site.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sillymcnasty:

Skyfire has a lot of cool features, but as an internet browser it sucks. Try using it for an hour and I mean using it to get something done, not showing ur iphone friend flash support. It's simply awful. Need to click something? Great! With skyfire u'll have to click it twice! And then u'll wonder if u did. And no tabs...Come on, what is it? 1980? Made it my default browser for a week, but it won't do. Went back to Opera 10.

Hi i change my sprint touch pro prl to a local provider but when i went to activate the phone they ask me about the A-Key 16 digit number;which i can't retrieve from the phone after dialing ##2539# it displays A-KEY which is in blank however it allows to edit the A-Key value,I read on other forums that this phone doesn't use A key instead it use Meid for authentication its a Htc Pro Raphael 800

Need some help Thanks:confused:
[Touch Pro CDMA] Duwenbasden:
Is your local provider GSM or CDMA, which one is it.
[Touch Pro CDMA] No1Special:
Did I miss something where they said the carrier was GSM, even a hint at it?

You can use all zeros, except for the Checksum value will still be dependent on your ESN.

They probably want to know the AKEY atleast to prevent cl0ning of your MEID and ther information.

Wanna send me the last three bytes of your pESN? It should be safe since it isn't unique or easily reversed. I'll PM you your zero A-KEY.

BTW: You shouldn't be able to read the A-KEY out of a phone, you are at the A-KEY entry screen...
[Touch Pro CDMA] crashelite:
as far as i know the A key is used for data mainly - i think it stands for authentication key -

on alltel i dont have an A key my friend on verizon does. his data will not work with out the a-key. he had to call them and then then he did a *228 and did the option to activate his phone what then put in his a-key.

i would try *228 and then see if it puts in the a-key that or find some on on sprint and see if they have an akey if they dont then u dont need one and just leave it blank :)
[Touch Pro CDMA] No1Special:
How would you know if there is an AKEY?

How would you know if the active Sprint Pro has an akey programmed into it? I'm looking at a Pro right now, and I don't know how you would read out an AKEY, the AKEY menu will never show you the existng AKEY or tell you if there is one programmed... It's my understanding you also can't read it out via Workshop either. By specification, the AKEY is supposed to be placed into the phone in such a way as to prevent you from reading it out... it's an anti-cl0ning thing.

As far as the AKEY being mainly used for data... it's up to the carrier to determine how the AKEY is used, all calls - some calls - data... As far as your friends situation, are you sure that the *228 didn't fix the data issue ofcourse having an AKEY would also be important if the carrier uses it.

Does anyone out there have memory addresses for reading the AKEY via Workshop on a TreoPro that they are willing to share?

I don't want to sound rude, just trying to make sure everyone has the right information.

push a ROM onto my sdcard through adb?

my win xp is so old it wont read the root of my sdcard unless its only fat32...

so i was wondering if i could do it that way...

ive looked through threads but hadnt found a definite answer seeing as im new to all this

any help would be appreciated!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wergeld:
I am not sure you are understanding the process or I am not understanding the question.

But lets just roll with it...

You can do:

This will put the romName.zip file on the root of your sdcard (fat32 partition). From there you can reboot into recovery mode (turn off phone, then hold down the HOME button and then hit the POWER button). If you have the CM 1.4 recovery image installed then you can install any zip file and you would just point to the romName.zip file. If you have the CM 1.3 recovery image you should rename the romName.zip file to update.zip and then apply that update from the menu in CM 1.3.

If you do not have the CM recovery image installed, well, then you need to back and read some more.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:
i think you are on the right track for what im asking...

im using cm 1.4 recovery

lets say i dl drizzys 1.5.5

do i rename it update?update.zip?or leave it as is the way i downloaded it?

i tried putting it on my c drive and naming it update and it didnt work

or course i was using someone elses thread to go by so maybe i did it wrong
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wergeld:
Do you have adb set up so it can connect to your phone?

If you have CM recovery 1.4 you do not have to rename it to update.zip but go ahead and do that for this test.

When you say

what do you mean?

The renaming didn't work, or the adb push didn't work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:
renaming it update and trying to push it through adb didnt work...

im downloading another ROM and im gonna try again and see if it might work this time...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wergeld:
Right. But what I am asking is, what "didnt work." Was the file not there on the sdcard after you pushed? Did the CM recovery image fail to apply the update?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:
the file wasnt on the sd and cm didnt see it to install...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:
i may have named it wrong...or missed the space between zip and /

i will try again and see if thats what was wrong...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wergeld:
Okay.

When you set up adb did you follow this thread?

If you are not able to mount your sdcard in windows that may or may not be a showstopper. How do you have your sdcard formatted? All fat32 or did you split it up into fat32, ext3, linux-swap?

If you are going to adb push files to your sdcard you should NOT mount the sdcard.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:
yes...i followed that thread

and i repartitioned my 4gb sdcard as such:

fat32 0 1405

ext3 1405 1905

linux-swap 1905 2001

and i did not mount my phone...i at least saw not to do that in very bold letters so i took it to heart...lol!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wergeld:
Okay, cool.

What does the CM 1.4 tell you when you try to apply the update.zip?

After you adb push the file, go into the device via adb shell.

CD to the /sdcard and do an "ls" and tell me what you see.

If you do not see anything but the adb push returned no errors, your sdcard may be fubar (don't freak yet, there are fixes for it and we will get there if we need to).

If you do see the zip file then reboot into recovery again. But this time do not try to apply an update, instead drop to a console and CD into the /sdcard again and do another "ls" and let me know what you see.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freaktractor:

You do not need to adb shell then do adb push

I bought some Bluetooth USB adapters for my PC and laptop on eBay. Windows identifies them as "CSR Bluetooth Radio". They work fine in Vista on both systems, and I can get them to pair with my HP iPAQ 910c and sync over ActiveSync with either system (as well as run PDAnet).

However, I've run into a problem in that the iPAQ doesn't seem to differentiate between the two computers. If I pair with one, and then try to pair with the other, it overwrites the previous pairing or simply thinks that the one computer is the other (despite them having different names). I think this is because both have the same MAC address (00:1f:81:00:02:50) from what I can tell.

Is there any way to get my iPAQ to recognize both computers as themselves? I really like not having to tie my phone to a system for USB syncing.
