[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docgab:
Hello all, I am about to plunge into rooting my G1. I have a question however. I found the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480 and it lists the commands in telnet as:

* mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

* cd sdcard

* flash_image recovery recovery.img

* cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img

I also found a video that someone had recommended at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOo2V9qCauc

and it lists the telnet commands as:

Telnet Commands id

(Press enter)

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

(Press enter)

dd if=/system/bin/sh of=/system/bin/su

(Press enter)

chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

(Pres enter)

He then has you download and go into terminal emulator and then use these commands:

cd /system

(enter)

cat /sdcard/recovery.img > recovery.img

(enter)

flash_image recovery recovery.img

(enter)

The tutorial here is shorter and easier, but the people who tried that video have has success. Which is correct? Thanks all!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xidominicanoix:
follow the guide you found here .. used it a year ago for mines and numerous times for others and it never fails

and also, thank you so so much for posting in the correct forum ... you don't know how many people will post in the dev section and use the "i'm a noob" excuse lol :D

and lastly, when you get to this part: "What To Do Now That You Have Root" .. you don't have to install one of those roms .. you can go over to dev section and install one of those ... I'd recommend the CyanogenMod roms ... you could also try out a Hero, Pulse, or Blur rom but they will require a lot more prerequisites than the CM rom
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docgab:
Thanks much for your input. :-)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
If you compare both you can see that the image flashing commands are the same, the second method just chmods a couple of directories (which isn't essential), so you can use either.

Hi

I sync all my contacts from contacts.google.com to my hero phone.

know I have some Contacts that I don't wanna have on my phone. (As example the Google Wave bots I added)

Is there a possibility to block/filter some contacts to not sync to my phone?

greets
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dai_Shan:
in Google contacts, you can create a new group. Then select the contacts you dont want synced and move them from My Contacts group to your new group. Make sure the contacts are no longer My Contacts.

this works for me.

Hi, on my touch hd, i installed a rom (Phoenix 1.a), it is very nice, but i lose my zoom bar on the photocamera. Somebody can help me?

Thx

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Of course you will lose the ZOOM read befor flashing a new ROM the NEW ROMS are without a ZOOM on the Camera and this is not a BUG this is done by HTC so you can install a .CAB with the Old Version of the Camera Build that have the ZOOM BAR
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pierferdinando:

Hey Guys

I am using the following

Radio: 4.49

Rom: WWE 6.5

Operator: T Mobile

I have advanced config, and I saw a thread about tweaking the gps, please can someone explain to me in detail how to do that. Under GPS in advanced config it was mentioned to set log file to No logging , but everytime i chose no logging when i restart the device it goes back to \windows\GPSlogFile.txt

it was also mentioned to delete the old and current log file how can I do that.

Are those tweaks applicable to win mobile 6.5
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Look for the Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc thread stickied at the top of this section:eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hykhleif:
I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.

I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.

For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
I don't know what to tell you. When i got it it took a lot to get a lock so i updated the radio from the official site, installed SeaSGEE (do a search), downloaded the content, used the gps registry tweak ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/GPS Tweaks ) and the lock is under 2 minutes (although i believe the lock time is horrible compared with the samsung omnia which was 15 seconds).

Hope it helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sakshaug007:
yeah no kidding dude nobuddy has bothered to answer my question about if any custom roms have transcriber and letter recognizer enabled. come on guys lets all be helpful you were all newbies at one time we do our part and SEARCH!! so do your part and HELP!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
As far as I can tell .. transcriber and letter recognizer do not come with 6.5 anymore they took it out :( I Loved it .. but I guess noone used it. )

I have tried installing it .. on 6.5 with NO LUCK ;( If you find a way message me too !

Just found this : http://pocketnow.com/thought/goodbye-transcriber

Handwriting recognition has always been a feature of Windows Mobile that went unrivaled by most other smartphone operating systems. Admittedly, most people either didn't use the feature or didn't know that it existed. About a year ago, we did a tutorial on how to use the features of Transcriber to get fantastic handwriting recognition.

The upcoming HTC HD2 has a capacitive screen, meaning that traditional styli cannot be used with the device. Because of this, HTC has stripped out the Transcriber option, as seen below from the HD2 ROM. Also of note is that there is now only one keyboard option, which is HTC's Touch keyboard. Gone is the small stylus keyboard that we've come to know for many generations of Windows Mobile.

With Transcriber gone, will you miss it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
You don't need to take it personal and get upset.

You should at least consider that the issues you're asking about are not common....so the number of people who know or care about the answer is small. If they were common issues then you'd find many other posts stating the same problem. Do you?

If you've followed the suggestions and the suggestions don't work for you, then what more can anyone say? How much time are people supposed to devote to troubleshooting a problem that only you have?

If you scan down the list of threads, those threads that have 0 responses are either questions that are odd/unique/unknown or have been answered so often that there's a sticky with the answer at the top of the forum...which indicates that the poster isn't even trying to help themselves.

BTW: If I had the answer to your

technical

issues I'd offer it, but I don't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ptgptg:
If I read the site you linked to correctly, L3V5Y says the transcriber is a registry setting, but is still in the OS. Anyone know what registry setting would enable it?

I just checked my Tilt2 and it still has transcriber. If you click on the Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. Go to other input methods, and transcriber is one of them. I don't know of any custom roms that have the transcriber, but my Tilt2 rom has it. I haven't flashed anything to my Tilt2 yet, but will be doing so soon. I have flashed a lot of roms to my old Tilt and Fuze, but am really looking to get a stock ATT rom with the BS bloat taken out. I have yet to look at Da_g's, but will be doing so shortly.

And, by the way, I've been a member for about three years, but my post count is low because I do search for things. when I have asked a question, I typically have gotten great responses. The "go search" people are usually smug people with no knowledge, but have seen others write it, so they do too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
My GPS wakes up in <10s in clear skies when it's been on somewhat recently, perhaps 1 minute if it's got stale data.

If your GPS takes forever to warm up, there's something wrong with it. As for the registry entries, you're probably just doing it wrong. Besides, there's zero need for it anyway.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] WarlockW:
What ver of Mobile you have 6.1 ??

In Mobile 6.5 - If I goto Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. I have NO "other input methods "

sad to say .. But true

--------------------------------------edit

Ok .. I am a dumbass I installed Transcriber .. and true it does not give you the option of choosing it from the optons menu ..

However if you find transcriber.exe in the windows dir .. you can run it and it does work !

So I made a link and added it to the startup dir in windows and it works just fine now :)

Just a warning .. if you change to the full or compact qwerty it closes transcriber and you will have to restart it to make it work again :/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] godefroi:
My Tilt 2 (6.5) offers Transcriber, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, and Block Recognizer. Sorry your ROM is crippled.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sakshaug007:
I have a tilt2 and both transcriber and letter recognizer (my favorite) are enabled and the tilt 2 does use wm 6.5. i went back to the stock rom after flashing the energy rom because it didn't have it, i just prefer features over speed. i vow not to flash another rom unless it has full handwriting recognition, i for one use it a lot more than the keyboard.

Questions and Answers

Hi hykhleif

I think that you have misunderstood the ethos of this forum. This is a developers forum not a users forum. There is a "Questons and Answers" section in the General section of the forum which you'll see at the top of the main forum page. You may get more detailed help by posting questions there.

I think that if you want "user" advice generally this is potentially not the best place to look but a forum on the HTC website. I think that www.expansys.com has some good user forums as well.

I hope you get your device working to your satisfaction.

Best wishes

Mods,

Not that I am a religious freak or anything like that, not that I object to those who choose to believe in that sort of stuff...

For the record I would like to convey my objection to the tone err attitude err approach err demanding nature of the comments err are we here on this planet to serve this person err is he a reincarnated faro? I move that this thread be removed and our faro friend be given some lessons/guidance on how to communicate in a none aggressive (or pigheaded) way...

We all get frustrated... we all have people in our lives that represent a challenge... our girlfriends/boyfriends all get headaches from time to time... so lets keep a lid on the aggressive nature particularly in this our very fine forum...

[G1 General] tpkatl:
My G1 (one of the originals, October 2008), running Cyanogen's latest, has developed a nasty little habit.

When I close the keyboard, the G1 dies. And it dies suddenly - no message, no flash of light, just ... black screen and no power. This doesn't happen 100% of the time - probably around 50% of the time. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I close it gently or close it hard. I can't find a pattern there.

\

So far, it has always booted right up when I power it back on, so as long as I don't want to use the keyboard, the phone is just fine.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions? Or is the hardware dying out after a year's heavy use?
[G1 General] Wii60:
50% failure rate is repeatable in a store. Put it on stock firmware, if it still happens, visit T-Mo and they'll likely replace it assuming you got it within a reasonable time frame.
[G1 General] Icebergxx:

Reboot.

Has anyone else had this issue? I had this on another ROM last week also (forget the name of ROM, it was either AtomAng's or Ark's or ROMeOS) and current I am using Fusion V6.0 HTC Sense 2.1 HTC Version - HTC Dialer and Video Call.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mad Marc:
Well, with T-Mobile Stock 6.1 ROM I had a quite similar issue, you picked mobile for example and the phone dialed work. But from the same contact.
[G1 General] rayberto:
A bit off topic, but I am sure this crowd would like to know the latest on 2.0 news.

Looks like there is a basic port of Android 2.0, on the G1, out there.

Looks promising, for the G1. Once again Cyanogen needs the source code to be released first, before he can begin the porting.

Please don't comment, I don't want to clog up this posting.

Hello,

i have an htc touch hd in the uk with o2 as the carrier. i also use spb shell. I have flashed several roms but with each comes a problem...

The leo rom would not let me send sms messages when i had smbshell running.

21816 would let me send sms texts, but i had to load another cab file to overcome overlapping of the spb shell home page. When i then ran memory map(gps navigation) the screen format was all wrong. I used another cab called wvgafix but it didnt work.

I suppose what i am after is a some from the uk, with hd touch hd using o2 and spb shell....ie what rom are they using. I cant keep flashing roms all day and night, the girlfriend is getting very feisty :)

Hello,

I have a Verizon Imagio (HTC Leo) and cannot figure out how to do a basic soft reset. Does anyone know how to perform this via either button combinations OR a program on the phone that does a SOFT reset (not the full HARD reset). Thanks for any help on this!

Cheers!

~Dubhead
[HD2 General] chris10230:
that's the whitestone.... look a little further down the page...

Also wouldnt it be the power button that you hold down, i think its not a dedicated button so i will guess the call end button will do this.
[HD2 General] WildWayz:
Hold down the power button (hang up) and an option to power off the device will be shown.
[HD2 General] sayborg:
Is this to power off the device or to reset the device? I think it is to power off...
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
Poweroff is a soft reset.

A hard reset blows away all your info and settings. Like a format :)

Hold the power button down and you will get a prompt.

of

pull the battery

Or hit the reset button under the battery cover. Little red button.

Hard reset is holding both the volup and voldown buttons during poweron
[HD2 General] eskasi:
You could try Touchoff... it installs as a cab file and when you hold your power button down, it gives you the option of shutdown, soft reset, etc... or pxshutxp... which is an app that you have to tap to open for the same functions as touchoff....

I was updating a phone for a customer and I noticed that in it's stock form it could access paid apps on the Market. I thought it was just because it was a bone stock ROM but then after I installed Cy4.0.4 it still worked. I just tried it on my Hero too and there they are.

Is this a temporary glitch? I haven't seen any news about this
[Hero, G2 Touch General] csasek:
I can confirm that I was able to purchase and install an app from the market last night. It took a very long time but it worked

Normally it's necessary that some phones (not just one) are available, and also chipset producers' names are important (see what happened to Rhodium).

So I would expect that a HSPL would be available by year's end...

Also donation process to allow for these phones is normally asked for (or at least expected).

Dutch OS to WWE possible now?

Hello, I wanted to know whether I could flash a Dutch version into a WWE OS for the HD2. Here is the answer I got from HTC Support :

"I would suggest that you wait till the 13th as buying a dutch device means you will not be able to install an UK updates or the UK version of the OS as doing so would require you to hack the device and that is nto recommended or supported in any way and it would also void your warranty.

Same here, otherwise i might as well go with the acer. It's getting hard to justify an extra £170 at the moment, the HD2 isn't that much better as it stands.. worse in some cases according to benchmarks..

My idea is if the gps is working fine on the htc hd2.

Is it possible to cook those files and software in a rom for the raphael.

And then look if the raphael gets a faster gps fix without 3de party software or other tricks.

This is just an idea of my to try it out and watch what happens.

So if you like this idea can you try this out in your new rom ?

Thank you already

Do you think that 10-30 seconds is too long for a GPS fix?:confused: That's how fast is GPS fix on my Raph.;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] menomenic:
If it is 10 -30 sec a would be happy.

I would get nothing or i would wait 1h 30m.

It's very annoying if i have a fix and then it is gone again.

I have used a lot of programs registery tricks or other tweaks roms and radio's but i won't work for me.

I am using the gps for walking in the forest so i can get my way back.

Several times i was lost and needed to find my way back on my own.

And it won't hurt to try this out.

If this works out with the htc hd2 files and programs other cooks can use those files in there roms.

Check your radio number, then install suitable rilphone to it and then use QuickGPS
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] penicillin1982:
Currently getting GPS location under 30 seconds consistently by directly starting google maps.

Using:

Latest Energyrom 10/29

Radio 1.14.25.35 with corresponding rilphone.dll

I've never found any benefit to using 3rd party apps except maybe for enjoying the beautiful screen gpstest shows for 5 minutes before it even starts to work.

There are rare times when I can't get a gps lock with google maps when i actually tried gpstest only to realize that it can't get a lock either.

One thing you can try is to simply run quickgps before you use gps...especially if you're in a new area.
