I've had the phone since 10/05 for FREE (attended the san francisco launch event) and it's on 1.5 but the devs said 1.6 will roll out within days after it's released tom.

Good thing i work for Best Buy $206.28 with the 10 insurance :-D man i love my job at geeksquad
[Hero, G2 Touch General] amirica:
Can you confirm this? I have read on a few places online that quoted Sprint as saying that Donut will not be available until early 2010. In this case, it is actually up to HTC, and not Sprint, to release an upgraded version of Sense w/ 1.6.

I hope what I had read is incorrect, and that HTC is working on an updated version, but I just don't know. I have had one of these for about 3 weeks now and love it, but it is also running 1.5.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Greenarcher707:
That's what the dev (HTC Person, not Sprint) told me, i asked during the launch event. They even said that the retail units will have 1.6 already. I sure hope they're right.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] indovina:
For what it's worth, I have a new retail CDMA unit and it has 1.5 firmware.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dsjr2006:
It has already been confirmed that Sprint Hero's will ship with 1.5 and supposedly are not current able to do an OTA update because Sprint limits OTA updates for all phones on their network to 10 MB and most Android updates are around 40 MB.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 06ms6:
Palm Pre OTA updates have been over 100MB, so that shouldn't be a limitation (unless they made an exception for the Pre).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dsjr2006:
I don't think it should be either. That's just what I've read so far. I guess we'll see very soon though.

If they did make an exception for the Pre I don't see why they couldn't do it for the Hero or any other device for that matter.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jmhalder:
especially since all current android devices get OTA updates... it would be pretty crappy if the CDMA hero didnt... pretty disappointed to see 1.5 on it yesterday when my girlfriend got hers.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Sorry, that's wrong! As far as I'm aware only the G1 and the Magic have ever had OTA updates. The last update for the EU Hero was in RUU format, though technically it could have been OTA so we may see OTA updates in the future.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] meinereiner:
Hi,

i changed my service provider to t-mobile and got now one sim with two lines. Because of that I'd like to know if there is a software to use the Alternate Line Service (ALS) directly?

I've got an original HTC ROM installed which I don't want to change.

Is there any CAB that might do that? For instance from another service provider?

Greetings,

just wanted to know what an average battery life is because my hero eats charge very very quickly

please post how long it lasts and how long you use it: games, browsing, music ect
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
I can get through the day with no real issue, have GPS on, WiFi on but set to switch off on screen off (advanced settings), Bluetooth on.

Twidroid set to update every 30 mins

HTC Mail set to manual update

FeedR (RSS) set to update every 4hrs

Facebook set to update every 4hrs

Use HTC Mail quite a bit when away from my Mac

Twidroid a lot during the day to tweet and read tweets

Never use it for music, browse a bit but not that much unless out and about.

Games rarely.

I did find (on the v1 firmware) that Peep and Stocks were real resource and battery killers. Since stopping using them the Hero has been rock solid and waay faster. even better now with the v2 firmware.

TBH, the battery lasts a lot longer than my Nokia N82 and N85 ever did and they were not using WiFi or Twitter etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulehmoo:
4-8 hours but under crazy usage. If its my day off. 18 hours ish.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueHawk:
About 1 to 2 days. Occasionally, some process goes crazy and it drains the battery - usually after charging the phone. Now I tend to reboot after charging the phone. I don't have GPS running normally. WiFi switches off when not in range of my remembered networks. I have Advanced Task Manager to kill off processes. Removed Twitter from the phone. Use Twidroid - checks every 2 hours. Turned off data synchronization for calendar and contacts - I do that manually. I leave gmail on. I take 5 to 10 calls per day. If you receive a lot of messages and gmail, turning off audio notification/buzz will also reduce drain on your battery - but this trades off you getting notified in a timely fashion except via visual (flashing LED).

I found that killing off the Advanced Task Manager application reduced awake time on the phone from about 22% to about 12%. Killing off the actual application doesn't affect the part that periodically wakes up and kills tasks - it just removes the module that sits in the notification bar and displays running tasks and other system information. Checking the awake time gives a reasonable indication of other applications that keep your phone from sleeping and reducing power consumption. This extended my phone battery life another half day or so.

But why don't these companies work on the batt preformance :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Doubt it's relevant, but how do you charge your battery, and also your initial charge from new.

This is the first phone I've had that I didn't leave the initial charge on all night, and just took off after a few hours when it was charged up. Do you think that affects the performance of the battery?

Do any of you let it run out past the amber warning colour as a completely flat battery is probably better to charge?

The main reason I don't leave it on all night is because it gets really hot.

All my other phones were left on charge all night, every night, but they weren't this type of phone....

[Touch GSM General] rafiqc:
Hi all

Just a quick question. When you upgrade your Rom, and you go through the HardSPL procedure, does this change your devices MAC address/hardware code?

Reason I'm asking is that my GPS software uses that MAC address, which you have to register on their website and they then issue you with a activation code. Problem is, after upgrading I can get the software to work on the phone, but it does not want to accept the same activation code as before.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Touch GSM General] @rj*n:
i'm not sure abt this but most probably No i guess it doesnt! Maybe someone with knowledge will clear this up.
[Touch GSM General] ayyu3m:
have you ever formatted your PC more than once. whether if its yes or no...i can tell you i have formatted my pc several times. but the PC always carry the same MAC ID, why??? because its not related to your hard disk. my point is...the MAC ID is a unique ID for every motherboard (in simpler terms) and does not change...

so coming to your device...your device mainboard maintains a specific MAC ID and it does not change even if you have flashed your device so many times...

bottom line is...your device mainboard is a separate partition from your NAND flash....

and unless you mess arnd with the mainboard...it does not change...so flash away....

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Jezza0:
Hi Yakir

Looks like you're learning the hard way about the importance of backing up! ActiveSync is only one way... I've found MS MyPhone and Google's Sync service to be excellent.

Anything on your memory card is probably fine, but if the device can't boot it's unlikely you'll be able to rescue anything from there :(. If you have critical data, you may possibly find someone who provides a service to restore data, not sure.

I think you may have to just go for the hard reset though to restore your device, and then try some of the fine ROMs available right here to make your X1 a thoroughly pleasant device :)

Shalom,

Joe

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] djdjfufjnfjtgfiugk:
ok.

again - i rty to backup the data many times. and again it wasnt successful..
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] achmed20:
in short: u are screwed.

use pimbackup or the active sync stuff next time.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] alperyasar:
Let it go. Your Data is gone. Move on.

Do a hard reset. This will wipe your device and restore factory settings. Hold down both left and right buttons on top of the pickup/hangup buttons, and press the power button (do not hold the power button). Follow instructions.

Next i recommend that you do one of the following:

1) Sell your device and get a non-WM device which isn't going to give you 6 months of suffering. Nokia's are good for this.

2) Update your ROM with some of the great ones available on this site. For you probably a win6.5 clean one would be best. If you don't know what ROM is, go to step 1.

Hi there ... i'm using a wap connection with proxy server for HTTP

opera browser is working just fine as well as weather update, no problems what so ever !

But IE is giving me the message (you are not authorized to view this page)

... and at the end of the page it says

HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden

Internet Explorer

it's really frustrating coz i searched a lot on internet and couldn't find any solution

i tried a lot of roms and had the same issue with all of them

any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

bump ....

i wonder if there is a solution !!! 30 saw this thread yet no one answered !!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gadgetwizard:
I don't know if this will help you in any way.

I remember when i had a Virgin Mobile SIM card that i had to set a different proxy setting for IE, otherwise it would not open web pages.

You can find the proxy setting under the connections settings.

T-Mobile on the other hand needs the proxy setting turned off in order to work.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] j_h3000:
thx for your reply gadgetwizard but if i put a different proxy the internet service wont work cause it depends on this particular IP

so i'm looking for a way or advanced configuration for IE to make it accept using proxy server !!

so again i'm waiting to see if anyone can help me solve this
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] N'da:
I don't know where it's located in this new IE, but you have to change the user agent for your proxy, it's a little "tag" that identify your browser and your phone type for better browsing optimization. Your wap proxy won't let you pass through if your User Agent is not allowed. Search a little more on how to change it (HDtweaks do that for previous IE version, it might work. or registry edit) and what to put instead. Hope it's clear, hope it helps.

Lads,

Just bought one of these off ebay not realising there were different versions of the Touch Pro 2

Am i screwed with this phone? Seems i can't flash it with a custom rom according to the stickies, so is there anything i can do with it at all?

I'm using it in Ireland (so can't do this sprint activation thing)

So at the moment i feel i can't use it at all.

Any advice?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spikegotti:
from the xperiancers.com blog >>>>>

Firstly, thanks to everyone who left questions and… here are the answers as promised. Most of the questions seem to fall under a few categories so I’ll answer them that way.

The Chipset: We chose the Qualcomm 7200A for two reasons. 1: It is a chipset that we know and trust, we’ve been able to optimize the device to significantly improve its performance. We’ve also improved the way the device manages its memory so we get a better multimedia experience, a more responsive camera, panels and panel management. 2: We wanted the X2 to come in at a lower price point than the X1. Rather than start work with a whole new chipset we chose to develop what we were doing with the Qualcomm to maximize the power / speed / cost ratio.

The screen: We chose the best possible TFT LCD we could find and we’re sticking by it – the vibrant 3.2 inch display on the X2 has high color saturation, high speed and contrast and a great viewing angle. Sony Ericsson will always look for the best and brightest in display technology and for the X2 we are happy with the display we chose.

The FM radio: This won’t be available at launch (sorry) but we are listening to your feedback and will work to bring FM Radio in at our first post-launch software release that will be free of charge for all users.

Panels: We will continue to develop panels for both the X1 and the X2 – look for more details on new panels right here on the blog.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ganondolf:
yeah i saw this in the morning. what will be interesting is what price it is a retail (im in the uk). the x1 was sim free from play.com at lunch for £500 so according the answer about the cpu it should be cheaper. also it would be nice to see how much they have squeezed from the cpu.

about the fm radio. it seems the radio is there but they have software blocked it till there x2 firmware update, maybe they are having problems with the software.

the last part about the screen seems they have got the best screen they can have before going oled. 3.2" screen size is what i wanted (with 3.5" being max) and seems sony is happy with that size too.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:

i just hope they give us a easy way to watch videos on it unlike the x1
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Let me translate thet for you:

"We chose the same old, slow ass, outdated chipset, because we want you to pay twice for the same thing. We want to milk you for the most cash possible and after all, what would we do with all the stockpiles of the old chipset? Oh yeah, we took a lesson from Apple, people will buy any crap as long as we throw fancy words like "trusted" and "optimized" at them. Our customers are such idiots"
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaosstorm:
Thanks for that translation :)

Kinda lame SE is totally dropping support on x1..

( yeah they bring out new panels.. sure... i dont believe it will be more then 2 panels :P ok i aint using the panels.. but still its kinda lame shouting at start we have a new interface with panels. One year later they dont even have more then 9 panels ?
