[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammorris:
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can help me figure out this problem.

I can't seem to find a timestamp on SMS messages for any days other than the current day. So if I received a message at 7.01am today I can see "07:01", however if I want to look at a message I received a few days ago, all I can get is "Oct 3", and bringing up the menu and clicking "View message details" still only shows "Oct 3".

Is there a way to show the entire timestamp? This seems like a terrible oversight if it's not possible to see what time an SMS was sent/receieved for any day other than the current day.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graculusthegreenbird:
+1. Incredibly annoying "feature".

I am sure it is available in the sms logs, it is just not being shown.

I guess they did it to remove clutter, in the assumption that people wouldn't care about the timestamp of messages from yesterday, but that is just not true. Particularly when it has just gone past midnight!

It is the recency of the message that is important, not whether it arbitrarily happened today or yesterday.

How about ChompSMS and those other SMS apps, do they show them?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bunt83:
Yep!

Handcent SMS is the way forward. The stock messaging app just doesn't cut it...

the icon changed after i ran an update. changed from the green lines like it normally was, to a brown box and its now called "android.tether"..its version 1.52. it still works and everything, but i was wondering why/if the icon can be changed back to what it was lol.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X-i-phoner:
I downloaded 1.60 today and it looks the same as 1.5
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufvj217:
is 1.60 only for the my touch 3g? idk why it changed icons on me lol
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] X-i-phoner:
were you lucky enough to get teether off the market?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufvj217:
no, its built into most of the ROM's ive been flashing back and forth from until i find one i like, but if not, i just download it here, directly to my phone: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ufvj217:
ok so i reflashed my rom, and when i go to wifi tether (the rom comes with 1.51) it asks if i wanna update. if i click yes, it says "this will replace an app with another app" so it still works but it replaces "wifi tether for root users" with "android.tether" and the icon changes, it says 1.52........why is it doing that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepoetvd776:
I just flashed Cyanogen 4.1.11. I know i'm late to the party since the new version is out, but I've read that it's slower than 4.1.11 so I'm going to wait a bit.

Just a question, after watching the official 1.6 vid from google on youtube, I saw that they have translations. However I can't find that app. I download the voice files by going to

Settings - Speech Synthesis but after that I'm stuck.

also I noticed that

Accessibility options are greyed out. What gives? In the new Cyanogen rom is it different?

thanks for the replies
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepoetvd776:
Just got the app that was demonstrated in the official 1.6 video.

Its called Translate

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-beust-android-translate-jpBE.aspx

However it doesn't work with the Text to speech I downloaded, the way that it should work according to the google video.

anyone know how to fix that?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Poke_N_PDA:
Well, until we get a official 6.5 rom update (possibly tomorrow, but unlikely IMHO) or the HardSPL finished we can't get 6.5 for Marketplace. However, what I'm wondering is can we get Marketplace on 6.1 now without needing a new rom? Has this been figured out?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SG_Shadow:
What is the key differences from htc adp and tmo ota? I flashed both during the cupcake days, and I was thinking about flashing the new 1.6 updates. I'm sorry if this is a newb question, I just need some support. Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NguyenHuu:
adp stands for android developer phone, that's the limited ones given to developers to play around with which is not part of tmobile's lineup. while tmobile's OTA is what you get as a consumer with all of tmobile's customizations.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SG_Shadow:
Good. So if I dont need all the tmobile garbage, i'll be fine with the adp. It also looks like the adp roms have quickoffice and pdf viewer. Big plus in my book.

HI i just got t-mobile my touch.I rooted with 1 click running cyanogen 4.1.11.1 and I can't get the t-zone hack to work it worked on the mda, g1, and iphone any help would be great.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mpovolo:
would someone mind giving me the short on this. I have a 32A board, and all I want is a 1.6 ROM with the new text to speech features. Not sure what I can and can't do, seems like root is an issue (I tried already with the quick unlockr site) and seems like I can only load certain ROMs. Any advice would be great

thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Super Jamie:
Text to speech is just a standard Donut feature.

nk02's 1.6 has a 32A patch in the thread, Amon_RA's 1.6 has a 32A version.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxqc:
I also HIGHLY suggest Amon_RA's 1.6 ROM. This is the best Donut I found for my Rogers Magic.

About rooting, there is a lot of infos over those forums and over the net. If the one click root dont work, try the "long" way of doing it, if you follow steps carefully, you should have no problem.
[Touch HD General] saulo866:
I have two identical balckstone, loaded with energy WM 6.5

Under the same identical conditions one of them can get GPS signal (I am using Garmin XT and I am in Bali, Indonesia)

The other one cannot link the GOS signal. I have tried many applications like

- chartcross GPS test

- HTC GPSTool

- QuickGPS

Garmin appl says GPS is OFF

The testing software say cannot link the GPS

It seems that there is a hardware faulty, but before I confirm that, can somebody suggest other good GPS tools, so I further my testings?

Thanks

Saulo
[Touch HD General] saulo866:
my both Blackstones Touch HD are equipped as follows:

- OS version 5.2.23016

- Windows Mobile 6.5

- Energy ROM

on the faulty phone, none of the GPS default tools can link the GPS

Thanks and waiting for suggestions....

Try to install a new Radio ROM
[Touch Diamond CDMA] dallas257:
Hello xda, so yet another person took the plunge into flashing a rom. Im not sure what I did that was wrong because the install went perfect, it made it to 100 percent and restarted my phone like it was all well and good, but it wasnt. It just sits there perpetually restarting. Believe me I have been looking unfortunately, I didn't seem to find anything that helped. From the threads I read it sounds like I can just go to the boot loader, plug in my phone, then place a stock rom from alltel on my internal storage and flash that, or maybe I was mistaken with what I read. Either way I can't get that to work I can get to the boot loader and hook it to my computer, and the computer will say something connected, but it doesn't show up as a removable storage device or anything. This is the rom I used http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553844 this is also the tutorial that I used http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

Please, please give me some help.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] score3:
me too :(

Anyone have any ideas? I tried using the HardSPL from here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839

and I tried may different ROMs with the same problem... So i don't think it's the ROM.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond CDMA] score3:
i was able to 'unbrick' my phone...

1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version

2. load the bootloader

3. plug the phone to the computer

4. go to sprint.com and get the Rom from them and just use their exe

now it's back to WM6.1

So i guess the problem is that there's not WM6.5 ROMs for CDMA diamonds yet?
[Touch Diamond CDMA] Never4saken:
I don't know how offical it is, but I have loaded WM6.5 on my Sprint CDMA Diamond just fine.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] dallas257:
Alright thank you that worked, I thought I was going to have a diamond shaped paper weight for a minute. I do believe that there are indeed 6.5 roms for the diamond, but I have no idea why this rom didn't work. Thanks for the help.
[Touch Diamond CDMA] score3:
so I got mine to work with a wm6.5 rom.

this is what i did:

1. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35839, get the 0.57 version

2. then get this wm6.5 ROM: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084

Hope that works for you too.

You Bricked your Diamond

My Diamond bricked the other day and it wouldn't load or allow me to do a reset on it. I found a way to manually hard reset the device.

Hold the power button, the down volume button, and the enter button(the circled button) at the same time (continue to hold) then press the reset button. countinue holding the three buttons until a white screen comes up telling you to press volume up to reset device to original settings. press the volume up and it will reset. Now set up your device and immediately active sync and put a new Rom on the device
[Touch Diamond CDMA] dallas257:
Yes thats pretty important to know when you are messing with roms, also make sure to note the boot loader screen which is reset, back, vol down, and power. That is how I fixed my phone. This tutorial is a nice tutorial to look over. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36062

OK, daylight saving rolls around. My phone and computers adjust to the time, but all my calander appointments have been re-timed for an hour later. WTF!

How do I change it back? I've tried adjusting the settings for daylight saving on the computer and that changed the times back on the computer, but I can't find this setting on the Raph... What do I do?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] silversonic1:
This is a common problem that's been around for years. Some people have suggested that the problem stems from the setting in the Phone Settings menu that adjusts the time automatically. However, I can't say for sure if there's an easy way to undo what is done afterward. You may have to do what I did and edit the appointments in order to resave them.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] argentocruz:
Only 2 problems I see...

1. When I change my computer to not automatically change daylight time, the appointments revert back to normal time. But this does not carry over to the phone.

2. I cannot find anywhere on the phone settings to ignore auto daylight saving time...

Bugger. Will have to try a different ROM. I use my phone and netbook for business and needs it 100% operational and accurate. Was late getting a guy up for medication this morning, not because the time was wrong, but the appointment time had been changed to an hour later.

Who the f@ck writes sh@t like this into a rom or app? Who believes a change in daylight saving time means your appointment times should change? This has got me so friggin angry I can't describe it.
[General Questions and Answers] dothem:
Hi guys,

I've been looking for days to figure this out.

I have verizon htc touch pro 2 on wm6.1

I run quite a lot of korean programs that only run on

korean regional setting.

So I have to keep it on korean regional setting.

The only drawback on that is that instead of the phone number

format being (xxx)xxx-xxxx, it now looks like xxxx-xxxxxx.

When entering a new phone number i constantly have to

put in "( )" and "-" to make it look like it's a US number.

I only deal with US phone numbers.

Is there any way to edit the registry to get the phone number

format back to (xxx) xxx-xxxx instead of changing

the regional setting back to English(US)?

Any registry expert who can help me???

Thanks

Is anyone able to stream CNN Live TV on there phone? I used to be able to catch the news here using Sprint TV but they removed it from their list along with most other stations (thats whole other thread though). I am trying to find a working stream I can plug into Media Player or the like. I wish I could use Orb or something similar but its just not in the budget.

If anyone has any solutions here I would appreciate it...I have been looking for this answer since May and have had no luck. All the streams that I could find did not work anymore and the TV apps I have pulled down didn't seem to work either. I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks!

1) This belongs in "Questions & Answers" -- not in Development. The mods will, very soon I'm sure, be moving the post. :)

2) T-Mobile has no power over the shape Android takes. HTC and Google do -- T-Mobile does not. Google, despite the C&D to Cyanogen, have publicly stated that they support ROM development. The current Cyanogen version is in fact in compliance of all distribution rights.

3) There are a few "Read Me" or "Etiquette" type posts you'll find at the top of the forums. Browse them -- it'll be rewarding and will help you "fit in" better here at XDA-Developers.com. Every 'group' develops customs. Those posts are primers on our customs; and remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Yes thank you this needed to be said well done well written but i would add that making minor changes and reposting a rom does not make it yours nor does it make you a dev like so many people do on xda now days everyone thinks their a dev
[G1 Android Development] IConrad01:
Re: Minor tweaks do not a new ROM make. I.e.; if I took the Cyanogen ROM, swap it out for a +mem patched boot.img file, I could not then call it the IConrad01Mod. It would be the CyanogenMod+mem. Not even if I replaced sh with bash by default.

Id like to also add to your excellent list

dont post ish like "flashing now" .. "downloading" .. "cant wait to flash"

[G1 Android Development] joseangel.alv:
I also agree :)
[G1 Android Development] All~G1:
Thanks guys... I knew other members would feel the same way.

Like I said in the first sentence, I stated that I have no dev experience and I am pretty much a n00b, but I actually was not aware of "ROM whoring" so we will see if others agree with this and/or their are current devs who feel this would be appropriate to add to the list.
[G1 Android Development] IOmega666:
agree to that, and im one of those that says flashing, downloading, cant wait, and i realize myself thats its annoying .
[G1 Android Development] ComplexMinded:
"ROM Whoring" is alive and rampant in the forum. I know that all ROMS have "pieces" of other devs work in them but if 90% of your build went untouched then how can you re-release it under your own name?

We honeslty need to seperate ROMS from MODS of ROMS.. There is a clear difference..
[G1 Android Development] digitallysick:
Lets add to that for devs

Make your rom instructions CLEAR , and easy to follow.

Also include screen shots , and don't run all of your links and information together.

If your rom doesn't support specific formats/features please list so.

These things will prevent the same questions and issues being asked again and again
[G1 Android Development] DebauchedSloth:
* Update your initial post to include answers to common questions. Yes, I know, everyone should read the ENTIRE thread, but when that thread is 30 pages deep, people won't.

It really wouldn't be a half-bad idea for the more popular ROMs to solicit people to help support them in a sort of semi-official role.
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
Great post All~G1, I think that while this thread seems to mainly target Noobs and improper forum etiquette then I can't help but suggest adding something targeted at Devs. All Devs or anyone contributing to the Android Community should (Most do) have precise details on installing whatever your giving to the A.C. and a FAQ's would be nice too, that way we wouldn't have so many tutorials.

I see I'm not alone on this.
[G1 Android Development] your_helpfull_hand:
I honestly don't see XDA keeping the Dev's with other phones coming out that are not HTC. They will realize HTC is going to be WAY behind and thus having to go to forums like Alldroid.org, android community and forums like that, that cater to ALL Android not Winmo and deal with Android
[G1 Android Development] Mi|enko:
I wonder if we could have a post# rule implemented (i.e. you need to have x# of posts before you can post in the dev section). If a poster hasn't learned wtf to do in 100 posts and then enters the dev section, they should be banned. lol
