Xda developers community,

Here I sit at the end of approximately 78 hours of a joyfully sleep deprived journey of pure tech excitement. It all started with my two month old G1 Dream, which I am crazy about, suddenly began to annoy me with its ridiculously small internal memory. I offered my dilemma to the overlord of infinite knowledge, Google, and all roads kept leading me here. I began to read, found answers,and developed the uncontrollable urge to join the action. I've read, rooted, rommed, wiped, re-rooted, re-rommed, nearly bricked, cried, picked myself up, read some more, fixed, and utterly tweaked my G1 into a steroid laced technological work of art. Twice I wanted to ask questions but fought my hands away from the keyboard as I read the seemingly harsh and usually condescending replies as my fellow noobs received. Quick and deadly were the Chinese stars of sarcasm as they split their heads open, ending each post with "you would have found this if you'd just taken the time to read the forum". Each one of them ending in that little blue "Link of Shame" they provide linking you right to the detailed answer that was posted like two weeks ago. Not me....no sir! I decided to read and discover the what lies within for myself. I'm so glad I did too because I've learned more about my G1 here in three days than all my accumulated phone knowledge combined. This place is a tech-rebels think tank of knowledge from some really knowledgeable people. Everything I studied and tried was 100% accurate and easy to follow. Thanks to all of you for sharing your discoveries with all of us "Noobs" out here. I'm hooked on XDA! Sleep.....we don't need sleep where we're going....STANDBY FOR REBOOT!!

That has to be the best first post I've ever read....

Congrats on all that you've learned. :)
[About XDA developers] here.david:
Welcome to the "family" I too followed your process....:D

So 'cool' yet spending way to much free time will be the thing to look out for....:cool:

Really, Your post is outstanding....wish it could be on all ROM's 1st page...:eek:

PM me if you ever need to...DID you know to click on the persons name (top left of their post) to PM them and/or see all their postings....a quick way to get help I have found....
[About XDA developers] beast0898:
Nice post and welcome to the forums!

We were all "noobs" once mate, at least you did the right thing and read up.

Far too many "users" here just want answers, finding them for yourself is far more satisfying.

So now you've read up on the Billions of pages and dug your way through the hundreds of forums, when will you be releasing your first Rom?

LoL

Welcome to the forums mate, may you be stuck here forever like the rest us!

Cheers,

Beasty

Welcome to your Home!!!

That's similar to what I experienced sometimes. But if you read and read and then you ask about something that "is there" and you did not find, I think nobody will throw you to the lions.

Now, enjoy... and help make this site greater !

I'm a carrier for the XDA virus....

I raced to the office today to ignore the growing pile of work on my desk, darted past my idiot boss mumbling something about deadlines or some crap, and sat down to start the day off with a triple espresso and a theme flash straight from the XDA threads. As I waited for my phone to reboot I started feeling the sharp pinch of conviction. All day long people, myself included, run to the elite developers of XDA for endless advice on flashing, features, firmware,roots, roms, and recovery screens and freely download to their hearts content. Then strut around showing everyone there phones as if they were some sort of underworld hackers. But does anyone stop to think about all the endless hours or trial and error, defeat, lines of code, complaints, and everything else that goes into these works of art? Each day I learn a little something more and gain a deeper insight on the hard work that so many put in so that I can carry around my super fast , fully loaded, and ready to tether G1 each day. Allthough I really dont think these folks do what they do for fame or fortune, I still feel like I need to give credit where obvious credit is due. Thanks for the hard work, warm welcomes, and dead on advice I recieve each day here. And the flavor of the day today is an RC29 build, Cyanogen pimped out recovery and his latest update, very nice "Black Ice" theme, and a phone I cant seem to put down. Oh crap...here comes that jack a** boss of mine and my boot loader is stuck in a loop. I gotta start establishing better priorities.......like getting up and closing my office door so I can wipe and reflash this bad boy!!

Hihi.. nice writing. :D

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
I've just upgraded to the official 6.5 ROM.

If I select the Weather tab, after a moment's pause the screen changes to one just showing HTC in the centre, then returns to the Today screen.

If I click on My Location under the flippy clock, this seems to take me to the Weather tab again, and the same happens.

Under 6.1 I had added locations to the Weather app, following instructions found on the forum.

Can anyone please help me get the Weather functionality back?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] littlewonder:
Hi

can anyone try to explain me how this " my location thing " works?

One the home screen right under the clock I can see just "my location" text a thats it..I am unable to find any information on the internet.. Any time I try update it manualy from weather menu I get message about communication problem..But when I manualy added few other locations there is no problem at all..Just "my" location info is still empty..Does anybody know how to tell my bloody phone where am I ? I know it sounds funny but something is definetely wrong..Thanks for any answer..

Yeah and I am running stock version of HTC WM 6.5 recently downloaded from their site..

I am just wondering when they will fix all those problems with new ROM. Like crazy clock when locking my device or flashing light notifications..I would rather wait for new ROM few more days then have problems like this..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Laban:
On your homescreen you can click the "My location" and from there select what location should be seen on the homescreen. Go to the weather tab first to add your city.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] littlewonder:
OMG :eek: that stupid I am ? Thanks very much m8 ..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
I've got My Location set OK, but still can't get the Weather tab to function at all - I just get returned to the Today screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Shambolicuk:
Hmm, maybe im doing something wrong. I cant get my location to update in the main weather tab but i can add citys as the other user said. However if i click the "my location" tab under the clock on the main screen, it takes me to the weather tab of my location which is blank as it wont update for some connection error but i cant see how i can make one of the other citys i have added to appear on my homescreen?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] popkid:
I couldn't get this to work either... but I've got it working now... for some reason nothing works until you go to weather tab --> menu --> settings and select " download weather automatically"

After that, if you select "my location" as your clock... it automatically updates to where you actually are... neat huh!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Still can't get Weather to work - if I go to the Weather tab I don't get a Menu option, I get a screen with HTC on the default background, options of Calendar and Contacts at the bottom, and just above these, on the right, a small picture of a generic 'computer' - as if to signify it's processing something.

Then, a few seconds later, I'm dumped back on the start screen.

Please can anyone suggest a solution? I did add cities to weather under 6.1 - could this be anything to do with it?

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] popkid:
hmmm, sounds like manila/sense is actually crashing when you go to the weather tab, as the screen you describe just sounds like the blank today screen with no ui on top of it, then it is restarting tf3d and hence bringing you into home screen... odd
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Unfortunately, trying to fix the problem I fear I've bricked the phone!

Thinking the issue was that I had edited the 2330fc3c_manila file (to add my location to the Weather cities) I searched for a 'virgin' copy, found what I thought would do the trick in a thread on this forum and installed it.

After this, and a reset, the phone wouldn't launch HTC Sense - the screen invited me to tap to launch it but wouldn't go further...so I tried to restore from a pre-6.5 backup.

Unless anyone knows a way of reviving it, the Topaz is on its way to the menders this afternoon!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] WMguy:
I assume you did a hard reset and not just a soft reset?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
Yep, tried that - it won't go past the initial screen.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mikenif:
Just reflash a rom. that should fix it
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crank1:
I have been very dissapointed with the performance of the X1 camera even after installing the R3 cab. It was imposiible to capture anything that moved because by the time it took the photo my subject had left the vicinity lol.

Following the advice of another poster (sorry, cant remeber who but thanks) I set my focus to infinity. Now, I can take full 3mp, fine quality pics, use the zoom function and capture crisp, clear images...even when the subject is moving. This combined with Resco Photo Viewer has been the final missing piece of the X1 jigsaw.......forget the X2 Ill now keep my X1 for as long as I can:)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
Hah, I will check this out than!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
Nice advice, works flawless! The pictures are not shaken anymore...

But tell me: how do you zoom? Does the x1 have the option to zoom?

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crank1:
Zooming

Use the volume up and down button. Didnt work with 3mp and auto focus but works a treat now!!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuneee:
just remember there is no optical zoom only digital zooma, so the more you zoom the worse the picture.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
Well, even with infinity focus I can't zoom in 3mp mode. It says "cannot zoom in this quality mode". Man. Do you guys use R3A or has it nothing to do with it. Or is there a newer camera program?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crank1:
Yes, have installed R3A cab so maybe that's the difference with the zoom function. Well worth doing as it also has auto flash and GPS functionality.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
You can zoom as long as the image is set to less than the max (3 mega pixels for the X1). Its always been like this on every WM and nonWM phone I've ever had.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biernes_atrece:
i always thought infinity would be the worst option :o

thnx for the tip!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Still blurry indoors for me. Are y'all saying that this solves that issue for you? Only thing that works to get rid of blur for me is to change to action mode and keep flash on, but pictures are still pretty dim.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crank1:
The infinity "trick" doesnt effect the ability of camera to take good pics in poor light. It just lets you take good quality pics instantly rather than suffering the lag between button push and photo taken.

I have my camera set for 3mp and fine quality, have just double checked and it seem that with the R3A cab installed the zoom function is available with all of the focus options.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master_H:
hey thanks for the advice, it really helps. :-)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashpanda:
As a photographer I can hopefully shed some light on this - the percieved 'shutter lag' that most people experience on consumer grade cameras and cellphone cameras has nothing to do with shutters (actually nearlly all of these don't have shutters, but 'hot' shutters where the imaging sensor is just sampled for 1/x seconds), but to do with focus acquisition. On a DSLR, focus is performed using phase-detection using a seperate and extremely quick method (also hence why DSLRs have reflex mirrors).

On cellphones, where there's a far smaller sensor, and no room to beamsplit with mirrors, autofocus is done by measuring contrast on the main sensor, focus is moved in increments from MFD to Infinity, contrast of the image measured, until the sensor detects the maximum available contrast, then focus locked at that point. Because this has to essentially traverse the entire focus range (which admittedly isn't that huge), and is performed on a small sensor with fairly low contrast, the process isn't fast. It is decently accurate though.

By setting the focus to Infinity, the camera doesn't focus, as focus is just fixed at the further possible focal point. This would usually present an out-of-focus issue, (and it still would), but due to the depth of field relationship to sensor size, a camera with a small sensor has a large given depth of field, and, the hyperfocal (the point after which all distances are in acceptable focus) is relatively close, and the depth of field at infinity also encompasses a large slice of distance. Because of this, a large amount of the image will always likely be in focus, especially for stuff that's not right in front of the camera, and the delay of focusing is eliminated, so when you hit the shutter release, the photo just takes, and it's likely in focus just fine :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
Thanks for the mini lecture. I've been trying to get good bokeh/DOF blur on my X1 and K850, this helps in telling me which settings to focus on (no pun intended)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashpanda:
Heh, you're welcome. If you're trying to get narrow DOF/bokeh effects on your X1 and K850, I'm afraid to say you're pretty much out of luck, the (tiny) imaging sensors on phones leads them to have a very large depth of field at any given aperture. Your best chances for getting the smallest depth of field and best bokeh possible is to have a subject extremely close to the X1, focus near, and have the background seperated and relatively far away.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
That's what I do, actually (: I usually include a secondary subject in the background to make the DOF blur easily appreciated.

Plus, I have a modded camdriver for the k850 which allows manual focus. No luck finding one for the X1, though.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sab8th:
Thanks Crank1.

I was getting peeved about the quality of the pics and the lag.

No I get perfect pics every time! (well for a phone camera)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comeradealexi:
manual focus would be so awesome
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dusdus:
Hi there! Is it possible to display a city instead of My location om the home screen? Im asking because my location only can be updated with a wifi connection, and that sucks...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] crankshaft:
If you've got the weather tab downloading other cities then yes. Click on the clock on the home tab and choose a different city. If not then add the city you want to the weather tab and again click on the clock on the home tab and select the city.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dusdus:
geez I didnt know it was that easy... Thanks a lot! Though I feel quite embarresed now *goes hide in the basement*

Can i use T-mob 3G w/ unlock Tilt2 at&t ???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
NO!!!

Tilt2 doesn't get T-Mobile USA's 1700 MHz Signal. AT&T uses 1900 MHz.

T-Mobile's TP2 receives 1700 (T-Mobile USA), & 2100 (Europe) MHz.

AT&T's TP2/Tilt2 receives 850, 1900 (AT&T USA), & 2100 (Europe) Mhz.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] justbenjp:
Dont know if this has been posted before, just read it over at neowin.

(not my wording)

Google has announced today the new Android 2.0 platform.

Android 2.0 brings new developer APIs for sync, Bluetooth, and some other areas. Developers can now write applications to enable users to sync their devices to various contact sources. With the new Bluetooth API, developers can easily add peer-to-peer connectivity or gaming to their applications.

Google has published a full list of improvements but amongst the improvements here are the best ones we have found:

•Email - Exchange support

•Messaging - Search support

•Camera - Built-in flash support, Digital zoom

•Keyboard - Improved virtual keyboard to help with correct characters and typing speed

•Browser - HTML5 support, double tap zoom, tap the address bar for instant searches and navigation

•Bluetooth 2.1 support, Object Push Profile (OPP) and Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) support

With the amount of operating system additions and improved support for multiple screen sizes and Bluetooth 2.1, we'd expect to see a whole range of new Android devices ready for when 2.0 is ready.

I need some help!

After days of tearing my hair out and swearing a lot, I have managed to get my i780 to connect to the PC (the data cable was at fault and kept causing 'unrecognised USB device' errors).

I have followed the official Samsung update, i.e. installed the modem drivers and then run the update. The update has worked fine on the PDA part of the phone, but has failed on the phone part and the phone just alternates between flight mode and invalid SIM.

I have tried to re-flash the phone with the same result, it failed on the phone part again. I have uninstalled and re-installed the modem drivers and WMDC (I'm using Vista) but the update will still not complete the phone part.

Is there any way to flash the phone part again so that it works?

Please help! I love the new threaded texts and the new opera browser and most of all the fact that wifi now works properly! For some reason the phone worked for an hour or so and now has stopped working.

Thanks,

Or try this if you already dont.

can anyone make a cab to add the my location weather thouch flo tab into the tilt 2 stock rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
I dont think it can be done. It is coded in the manila itself. You just need to flash to a better stock ROM with weather in home screen!;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RojasTKD:
This is the very thing that prompted me to flash a ROM other than the stock AT&T ROM.

AT&T ROM worked so well I didn't what to mess with it, but having the weather clock proved too tempting. So far so good. I love having the weather clock and the weather wallpaper scroll across my home screen.

I went with At0mAng's ATT ROM. Here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=568233

So far so good. It is fairly light on app. I just added the one I wanted and am good to go for now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] coppertop:
Curious.... can you just install that version of manila or is it so integrated with the ROM to make that option impossible?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GustavTheLion:
i'm not talking about the weather on the clock, thats cool but not what i want.

i'm just talking about the weather tab being able to find my local weather instead of adding to a list of cities
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] coppertop:
The "My Location" feature on the Weather tab is also a feature of that Manila version as well (I think).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] RojasTKD:
Got ya... At least in the ROM I'm using that local weather in the tab and the clock are the same. If it tap the clock weather it takes me to the tab.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ai6908:
Same thing! Weather comes in different Manila package, so you have to install a ROM that has that Manila.
