[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiroots:
go to settings>applications>tick unknown source. if its already ticked, then back up everything you want and make a new partition, not just wipe. that will solve your problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAKIDD236:
thanks for the quick response i'll have the logcat up in 5 mins, and if all else fails i'll reformat my ext3 and swap partition
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
swap doesn't need to be erased.

Check out the script I wrote in post 3 HERE

Most likely the problem is in dalvik-cache (7) so try that first. if not you can backup the apps (9), clear ext (8), then restore the apps (10).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAKIDD236:
thanks i'm trying it out now

Is the number supposed to disappear like that? Or is it supposed to show you that it's clearing the dalvik and ext?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] ourquestinc:
Hello,

I just installed hard spl on dopod s900 ( china version ), then installed energy rom,

it's installed successfully and showing english version of windows mobile 6.5,

But 2 issue,

1. WIFI will not enable

2. Simcard can not connect to any network and not working...

Please tell me best way to solve this issues.

Regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Humblehippie:
Wrong place to post this!

This has nothing to do with ROM development!

If you would bother to do a quick search you would have your answer to the SIM unlock. OliPro has a full thread for it.

As concerns your Wifi, that question should be posted in the thread dedicated to the ROM you are using.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweiss2k:
I am looking very hard at the Sprint Hero about to come out in the U.S., but I am worried by the lack of 3D. With a 2-year commitment, I will need this phone to stay reasonably competitive for a while. While I like just about everything on this phone, the lack of 3D acceleration concerns me, especially since several other new Android phones (like the Motorola Sholes) will come with hardware 3D. What do you guys think?

Thanks,

A
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadison:
That motorola looks very nice and obviously 3D acceleration is important to you. Personally, I just wish the Hero had a higher resolution screen. 320x480 just doesn't look sharp enough these days.

I really can't complain about anything else on the phone though, I knew of its little issues before I bought one so I was prepared - I'm very happy with it.

If you don't have an Android phone already then IMO you should probably wait... but only for a couple of months at the longest. I waited a long time to buy a phone and, with things like these, you could end up waiting forever before you're satisfied enough with a feature set to buy one. Just remember no matter what you buy, something newer and better is always around the corner...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The Qualcomm MSM7200A that powers the Hero does have hardware 3D acceleration, but as I understand, Android does not have a HAL (hardware abstraction layer) for GPUs, so in order to utilize hardware acceleration it needs to talk directly to the hardware.

As far as I'm aware, all Qualcomm-based Android phones will use hardware acceleration - certainly if you download Neocore (Qualcomm 3D demo) from the Market, you can see it in action.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aweiss2k:
Cool, thanks for the reply. I was mostly concerned that future versions of Android might make more use of 3D but this phone wouldn't be able to support it. If that Qualcomm chip has 3D hardware acceleration built in, why are other manufacturers putting that PowerVR 3D chip in their phones? I'm not planning to do much gaming on my phone, just wanted to make sure the Hero wouldn't burn me 6 months from now or whatever.

Thanks,

The snapshot tool is awesome!

The program is defenitely not ready yet for WM. Too slow and no local storage.

But try the snapshot tool.

--I was at a meeting and could easily make pictures of business cards.

Snap a picture and it is automatically sent to your Evernote account!

--Somebody showed a small article in his newspaper and... presto!

--I was at a restaurant for a reservation and made a snapshot of the outside placed menu for reading at home with my wife.

It is so much easier than the "old fashion" way of making pictures and transferring manually into your PC.

And, when lucky, it recognizes the text on your pictures for quick finding also.

Where-ever you are you can test/view the results with the Evernote Web app.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mwoelmer:
From searching this forum, I can tell that others are having the same issue I am having. It started out with just a couple keys and now about 50% of my keys require me to push really hard for them to type. It is not a lag issue as covered by another thread. It just feels like the there may be dirt or something under the keys that makes it harder to type. This issue also is not ROM related as I have flashed my device with several ROMS with the same result.

Has anyone had any luck taking apart the keyboard and cleaning underneath the keys? If so -- maybe post some tips on what worked or not.

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] peterfnet:
I'd vote for compressed air
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] caderyn19:
I agree. You might be able to disassemble the phone and take the keyboard out and use compressed air. That would make certain that all the dirt is really out of the board...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BDBMX:
A work mate of mine did this the other day. He took it fully apart and cleaned it out with contact cleaner. Ill ask him wether it worked or not but I think it did because I saw him using the phone today.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mwoelmer:
contact cleaner

I've never heard of contact cleaner. I'll have to try that. After looking at this video for disassembly, it doesn't look like you can get underneath the keys. How did your co-worker do it? Pop off the keys like a laptop keyboard?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anagarika:
I guess some older thread on how to replace Kaiser keyboard will be useful.

Found this

About screen, but went through keyboard also ..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mwoelmer:
Yes, I found that as well and it was not of much use. The problem is not removing the keyboard from the phone. The problem is getting underneath the keys. You can see the keyboard front/back removed from my attached image. According to this other thread #119, #126, #127 they say it is impossible to get at the keypad underneath.

I might just take a can of compressed air and spray on top of the keys as best I can to see if it helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anagarika:
Hmmm, seems that no other way but perhaps replace the keyboard ..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] carhigh:
You cant get under the "actual" keyboard without breaking it off the housing. The keys can be pulled off from the top, but the actual buttons are sealed below.

For what little it cost, just replace the whole thing and problems are solved. Just did my son and daughters couple weeks ago.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BDBMX:
Im foolish I forgot to ask him about it. Thinking back he may have damaged it lol. He does kind of charge into things and then realise he cant fix it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] u2pop:
Agree with carhigh, just replace the whole thing. Kaiser parts not that expensive nowadays. Just need time to open it up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] whistler4ever:
I have the same problem. Tried blowing compressed air from the top, but didn't have much success with the keys. I'll probably get a new keypad and replace it!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dommo:
Sorry if this is a common question but where do people recommend getting kaiser parts? My N key and spacebar dont work without pressing it really hard and it's doing my head in!

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mwoelmer:
Your problem will slowly get worse. More and more keys will require extra pressure. Not sure where you could buy a replacement now (the phone is kind of old). After attempting to clean the keyboard, I gave up. I am just using onscreen keyboard program that is included in TPC's ROM. I think it is called finger keyboard. After a little practice, I am actually faster typing on that than I was with sliding the keyboard.

Hello,

My touchscreen stopped working from day to night. I tryed to reset it and stuff, but i wont work, just the touchscreen! The buttons work!

I tought, ok, lets reinstall WM and it will be OK, but the point is, while reinstalling it, in my HTC apeears on the screan YES/NO to say if I let the application run, but the YES/NO just work if touched, the buttons, left right up or down wont select.

I dunno what to do, help please? ;D

Is there a way to make it work again, or reinstall windows without having to selct YES/NO?

Thanks!

[Touch Cruise General] Limlin:
Soft or hard reset both didn't work? You can try to reinstall your os, if not you can upgrade the mobile phone. If all of these don't work, you should get a new touchscreen for the phone....

[General Questions and Answers] evilc:
When opening MP4 files i get the quoted error message.

I am pretty sure the files are good (Projection's encoder, correct res) but for some reason WMP or Album will not play the files.

I am using a 6.5 ROM (NATF) on a Touch Pro.

I did install divx player and an older version of tcpmp before I did some research and found out these days everyone was using MP4 in WMP/Album to get better playback. I tried uninstalling divx and tcpmp, but no joy.

Have I done something myself to break it? Is there any hope except a hard reset? Is it maybe a 6.5 thing?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ix0u:
Do any one know how a windows mobile sends the IMEI to the network?

Which function in the api ?

i'm sure it is in the low level api , kernel or may be the coredll.dll but i cannot find any clue on it , and i don't have any idea on where to start to trace that.

Any help or clue would be grateful :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] technillion:
Is it really sent??

I'm by no means an expert on this subject -- but is it really sent over the network? In my case the US ATT network? I'm not so sure it is...

...if so, why do they have to always ask me for it?

...if so, why aren't they automatically charging me an extra $30/mo. for a PDA data plan which they insist is REQUIRED for PDAs to connect-even though we all KNOW that's a lie and an ATT rip-off scheme?

...if so, why am I able to call them and give them ANY NON ATT IMEI over the phone and they not dispute it?

...jus a few questions to answer your question.

:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] player911:
I'm not an expert either, but I can tell you that they see it. I like to think of the IMEI number as your "ip address" or your phone's "username" for the network. It has to be sent for access purposes and it would be stupid not to log that type of server access. Else how else would you be restricted from using other Cellular towers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] adwinp:
Wrong.

Read up on IMSI's and TMSI's
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] euromusic:
In the Netherlands the police used an IMEI number to send text messages to a stolen cellphone, even thought they had changed the simcard the phone would show: " This phone is stolen please bring it to the police" every 5 minutes...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Though I'm not an expert on this topic, I thought that the Radio Firmware handled all communications with the Cellular network, including IMEI. One reason I am inclined to go with the Radio Firmware is this simple reason: If it was handled by WM, somebody could probably figure out how to spoof it through WM at one point or another, in the same way that MAC addresses can be spoofed.

And as I said, I'm no expert on this, so please, somebody correct me if I'm blatantly incorrect.

Oh, and w00t! 400th post!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ix0u:
IMEI is for sure transmitted to the network, since this is registered on the BTS every time your signal "auth" on it , and the server logs it and checks if your phone is on the "blacklist" and then reject connection if it is the case.

Check here

But i wonder, technically, where from it is sent, maybe from the Radio firmware like previously posted ?

I guess, since we have some tools to read & change the IMEI on others HTC, it could be done on every models (if i understood right, the IMEI part is somewhere on "read only" and we first need to unlock the CID to unlock this part of memory and then modify / alter it.)

The tools is found here :

IMEI Updater

But works only for iWizard and some other models.

But couldnt we hook the function that retrieves the imei and alter it on the fly? (from the software point of view?) or should i digg in the flash memory?

Or is it hardcoded on the SPL or the IPL? When and what function is used to send it on the network ?

Also for al the legal issues, i might add that an opensource OpenBTS Project is running , and it is in a research-oriented initiative.

So no post saying that i want to change stolen Imei etc.. this is not the case.

I'm a developer for one year now, and i'm interested in mobile security and research.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I think you'd have to Security Unlock as well. And I'm certain that it's stored somewhere in protected flash memory, at least on the Qualcomm based devices, because there have been isolated reports of IMEI changes after using Olipro's Kaiser SIM/CID unlocker/changer.

It works by flashing a modified radio firmware which security unlocks the device (until a different radio is flashed), then a program is run in Windows Mobile which somehow changes SIM lock and CID information. If you're curious, those cases concerning IMEI changes as a result of this tool are here and here. And if you really want to know about this issue, a visit to the XDA IRC channel, or a polite PM to cmonex, Jockeyw2001, Olipro, or Pof could probably clear this up, as those are the people who really know these devices. Good luck

get a new g1. after you flash danger, ur supposed to press home + back, not using the trackball. then your suppose to reflash your rom. if you cant turn it on, your bricked.

tell the rep it shut off while updating to cupcake and wont turn on. good luck

the members of XDA have no sympathy for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fingerlickin:
Lets verify it's a true brick before you give up on it.

1) did you check to see if your G1 is a PVT?

2) when you say "won't turn on" what exactly are you seeing? G1 screen? completely dead?

3) does holding camera and power to turn it on do anything different?

4) does holding home and power to turn it on do anything different?

Also, Don't mention anything about cupcake. Just say "the phone wanted to apply an update and this is what is does afterwards". Play dumb, you don't know anything about cupcake, donut, or any other pastry.

Well you didn't have to go back to RC29. All you had to do is load another rom. When you flash the "danger" spl it erases your current rom, that's why everywhere it says you must flash another rom right after it. I guess people don't read anymore.

I called HTC support and they said that the Jawbone Prime and the BlueAnt are not supported on the HTC TP2 but the BT 8010 is ... but you have to do the firmware upgrade on the BT8010 from stock 1.30 to 1.40 it helps and not as slow as the Z9i. they said they know about the issues and hope to address it with the WM6.5 release that will come from sprint in 2010. unless someone comes up with it 1st

Hey,

I am not sure if this is the correct area for a request, but it seems to be so. Originally on the Android, the lock screen of 9 dots in a square was soon ported over to the blackberry storm. You create a pattern by swiping your finger in a certain direction, and if it was the same as what was saved; the phone would unlock. I have not found something like this for the TP2 so I though I would request it (I am on Verizon Wireless if that makes a difference).
