Your question was answered.

and here are some shiny boots...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Only after we solve a problem. But if your talking about the animated gif thats different than the boot screens (splash1 and splash2). Once the danger spl is flashed that eliminates splash2, but since it sounds like you talkin bout the animated gif then I would ask david since he's the themer.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] cambria83:
3 (UK) have just announced they are to start selling the HTC Hero, which will be bundled with 2 free years of Spotify premium.

More info here: http://www.three.co.uk/Internet_Services/Spotify

This is good news for me as I'm a 3 customer on an unlocked Hero. Hopefully we'll get the 3 skype application on android too!

Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere or is old news :S
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alphabanker:
Yeah I was about to post this too! Hopefully we should get the Skype app for our Heros as well! But let's hope 3 does allow us to use Skype as they would on their own Hero handset. You never know.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
@cambria83 and @ alphabanker

Just in case if you are not aware, I and possibly some more users are already using Skype on 3 network as we would on 3's "skype compatible" phones.

There is a thread within Dream Application or search for iskoot for skype

Post your Qs if you need help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
As a matter of interest, why use iSkoot instead of Skype Lite? Neither are "true" VOIP products, and I presume that neither is able to take advantage of 3's free "Skype to Skype"?

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tweedie:
Damn, beat me to report this news!

Its certainly good news and according to http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2009/10/20/238204/unlimited-spotify-music-on-3s-htc-hero-handset.htm it says that the package includes "free skype-to-skype calls" -- I guess a working "iSkoot" (or something similar) is coming out for android!

@foxmeister, you are right that neither is a true VOIP software, but iSkoot calls a special voice number to give you free skype-to-skype calls (but at the moment, iSkoot isn't calling that special number!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
I use Sipdroid for Sip calls and "iskoot for skype" for skype calls. iSkoot for Skype works like normal skype for mobile and can make or receive calls from online skype contacts using data.

Yes, I must say that iSkoot for Skype as is, will use your minutes or credits so for most people it is not a viable solution but for those who are 3 PAYG or contract users can use it for free but the solution is a workround as mentioned in the "iskoot for skype" thread in Dream application section.

@tweedie, It works just like users have it on Nokias! But to push that .xml file the handset has to be rooted.

Edit: I just had a brief conversation with a 3 CS and was informed that Skype will be available, I have no idea if he was just assuming or advising me from the specs he might be quoting.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Are you using Sipdroid with pbxes.com? I had Sipdroid up and running "direct" on my G1 with my Vonage softphone account, but with the Hero it seems to register ok (indicator "led" goes green) and after about 10 seconds yellow disconnects and registers again. It does this continually making it unusable at present.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tweedie:
There is another way if you don't have a rooted device (details at #9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=546178)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
Hi,

Yes with pbxes.org I tried with voxalot where I has 4 or 5 sip providers registered but voxalot wont work on sipdroid. Only one way audio.

It seems to work fine with pbxes. Mine is a free account I dont mind becoming a paid user but than I will expect them to deliver.

Skype is something new in latest sipdroid application but as far as I know no one has configured yet! There are some questions at the parent website sipdroid.org and click on users discussions.

Its amazing that no one from the core team led by Pascal has replied or offered any help.

On a sideline, Fring may be launching their client soon and could be followed by Nimbuzz and perhaps Octrotalk.

Regards.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tweedie:
Nimbuzz is out on android now, but no idea if its has SIP stuff.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
At present Nimbuzz offers chat only.

Nobody mentions anything about Spotify?

I think this package is nice in idea, but rather expensive at £35 per month for 24 months, plus £99.99 for the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cambria83:
Yeah the price would put me off too! I'd be tempted by the monthly price if I didn't have to pay for the phone as well. I guess the price sort of covers the free spotify anyway!

I am due an upgrade on 3 at the moment, but I already bought a Hero and don't really know what to do.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tweedie:
I hope its possible that if you already on a 3 network, got a htc hero with premuim spotify account, then free download of music without it using your internet allowance would be do-able.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dropdboy:
Guys, Im really struggling here....

I bought an unlocked HTC Hero a few weeks before 3 announced their package...

I'm not getting my head around the iSkoot workaround. I understand why I need to do it, to allow my handset to dial over the 3 network to the "magic" 3 mobile to allow a virtual sykpe to skype conversation, but I can't understand how to achieve it. I'd rather not root just now and there was a glimmer of hope in this thread mentioning that it was not necessary.

If anyone can help, it would be great and would make our wedding (on 1/10/10 does anyone else see the binary joke?!) next year easier to plan as we live in different countries right now.

Any help/suggestions would be gratefully received - feel free to PM.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tweedie:
No need for iskoot stuff. Look on the market for 'skype for 3'. It's a proper Skype software for the 3 network

Don't get the joke. Isn't that binary for 1/2/2 which that date has gone?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Pillock:
It's not really 'free' - both Orange and T-Mobile will do the Hero free on a £25 contract, and Spotify is £10 a month.

By sticking with T-Mo, I've saved the £100 upfront price of the phone, and I can cancel my Spotify at any time if I don't like it and just pay my basic £25 talk/text/internet fee. Oh, and I've been with 3 twice now since they started and their service is abysmal :)

try wiping and also your partitions. wipe before and after. or read the directions to the specific rom that your using. next time ask in the right thread
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prince.siraj:
you have to re-flash the rom after wiping and re-formatting your SD because in doing so you wipe some system files i think that are used off the SD.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanmmj:
Moved to Q&A.

Next time, please post questions here.

Also, did you wipe your EXT2/3 partition also? Did you also wipe your ROM itself through the recovery console?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypysmoker:
yeah..

You do understand that once you WIPE DATE/FACTORY RESET there is nothing on th ephone right...

Sooooo, how would you expect it to load a rom that is no longer on your phone?

Why would you wipe without intentions of installing a new rom?

Do you have your sd card with 3 partitions for saving apps to sd card??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnv45:
this is what helps me i have been there before.. then it locks and turns black..

what i do is pull battery... remove sd... turn phone on.. wait like 10 sec...then pull battery again... replace sd card back in there...put battery bacc..load recovery.. go to your consoloe.. and run fix_permissions...when done type reboot... when reboot .. go bacc to recovery..and run the fix's... after that reboot and should be good!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmfc187:
Wiping doesnt wipe the ROM off your phone...All wiping erases is your userdata (i.e. contacts, apps, appdata, etc.) you can wipe your phone all day long and it should start right back up to the sign-in screen.

Why is it that people who have NO IDEA WHAT THE F*** THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT insist on answering questions that they dont even know the answer to, so you just made up that answer just so you could feel smarter than OP? Get a life and quit passing out misleading information...

WIPING DOES NOT COMPLETELY ERASE YOUR PHONE. IT DOES NOT REMOVE THE ROM FROM YOUR PHONE. It simply returns your phone to the "factory State", which is actually NOT the TRUE factory state, because it DOES NOT REVERT YOUR FIRMWARE.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
So, I got a 4GB sdcard the other day. It came out of a blackberry a friend of mine was using. I formatted the card to FAT32 with the utility in windows 7, and everything seemed to be fine. I downloaded ext2fsd to be able to copy my ext partition to my new card. I followed the directions from the website about mounting the ext partition.

After I performed the steps above, my sdcard became unusable. I tried to take it out, and put it back in my card reader, and I get an error saying windows needs to format the drive, if I try to format it, it doesn't work. I've tried in gparted as well, and also get an error. I even tried from Amon's revorery, and sdparted in the console. I don't get errors with the latter two, but my card reader still says it's RAW.

I know that was lengthy, but I'm trying to figure out anymore steps to take, or if I should just throw the card away.

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypysmoker:
ok..

wow.

You have to have 3 partitons. If you only format it with 1 partiton, you cant save data on a partition that doesnt exsist.

You have to go to recovery console and make a fat32, ext3 and linux swap partion.

I dont have the patience to go trhough it all with you because its in 100 different threads so .. use search?

Not trying to be rude, but this is stuff you can fin don your own here very easily if you werent expecting someone to do it for you

EDIT-- sorry, dont think i read fully what you did. I had this same thing happen today on a friends brand new 8gb.

HEres what I did since you have Amen ras recovery..

Format to just FAT32.

Turn on usb

give it a second to pop up and it will and check the size.

Then turn off the usb, go into parted on console, rm 1, then remake all 3 partitons according to the size of the card.

I suggest not using the full partiton in the recovery because it usualy screws up the swap.

From there you will be fine.

If it doesnt work that way, then im sorry, the card may be pooped or to low a class maybe?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
Yeah, I know you're not trying to be rude, but I know I need 3 partitions. I'm pretty aware of the way a sd card needs to be partitioned. I've tried everything mentioned. I think it's about time to call it quits. It's a class 2 card, so I don't think that's the issue, and I can't format in Ubuntu, or Windows. Oh well I suppose. Thanks.

I forgot to include this in the original list of things I tried, but I did give it a go. It is telling me the card is write-protected even though the switch on the adapter is set to the unlocked position. I've also tried it with a different adapter. I appreciate everybody's input.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
well try using parted commands to write from block 0 to the last block and partition the whole thing as fat32

is that not working?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:

I haven't tried writing the whole thing to FAT32 with parted. I'll give that a try tonight (don't have the card with me).

@cholito

I'm using RA 1.2.2, I think the script is the same, so I don't know that it would make a difference if I was using that or 1.2.3

Hi all , first things first I am new to ppc phones . I was wondering which manilla would be good for my version and where i can find detailed instructions on how to apply these modifications to my phone or just updates .

Model .. Diam500

Platform .. Pocket pc

Rom version .. 1.22.557.1

Rom date 10-27-08

Radio .. 1.03.06F

Hardware version .. 0080 6150

Browser version .. MSEI 6.0

CPU .. Qualcomm(R)7501A

Speed .. 528 mhz

Ram .. 288 mb

Flash size .. 256mb

Data bus .. 32 bits

Not sure if this is enough info. or too much but anyways any help would be appreciated .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] supersanj:
Manilla 1.2 - fastest manilla till date - least features

Manilla 2.1 - still fast but not as fast as Manilla 1.2 - few more features

Manilla 2.5 - slightly slower than the other Manilla's - most features.

If you're going to change, i advise flashing a ROM of your choice rather than just installing Manilla.

You probably already have the 1.2 version. My advice, try using a 2.1 ROM for a day or so and then also try using the SUN 2.5 ROM for a few days and see which one you like.

Other options are also available like SPB Mobile Shell and Point UI. (Google them for more info).

Any ideeas?

johnwave
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pedellen:
Same problem

Hi.

I used to have the same problem. Here is what i did.

Open your contacts and make sure they are listed with lastnames and a , after the lastname. If they are not listed like described then edit your contacts so only firstname is under firstname and lastname is under lastname.

If you have both firstname and lastname on name place in contacts it will not show up, and you have to edit your contacts.

It is only when watching your contacts there should be a comma (,) - when you edit or put in names you do not put the comma in yourself - it will be done automatically when you save after edit.

It worked for me. ;)
