[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Quistnix:
In case somebody else stumbles upon this thread with the same problem:

Using Jester's guide I created a goldcard, and Amon's guide helped me to un-perfect it. After that I could one-click-root without trouble.

I'm currently using the build installed by the ROM v2.16.707.3 from Amon's guide, and it's great.

The only problem left is that I tried to install Amon's [ROM] [32A & 32B] [10-Oct-2009] RAv1.6.2 and got stuck with a never-ending boot screen. This was easily reverted with a backup. I´m going to try installing another rom soon, to see if that helps.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] oshizzle1991:
the reason you got stuck in a boot loop is because you didnt wipe your ext partition. you can do that using amon ra's newest recovery. easy peasy lemon squeezy. you need to wipe whenever you flash a new hero rom or any other now now-a-days. do you have adb set up?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Quistnix:
edit: Never mind, it's all running beautifully. Thanks!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
I don't get what has changed. Few months ago I was raving about how amazingly fast this phone picked up gps signal in 30 seconds or less compared to the old phone. But now it takes forever, even with the hotfix. Sometimes it's faster, but generally, very slow, particularly from cold, it can take several minutes or sometimes, nothing. Could having both tomtom6 and tomtom7 on phone be causing a problem? Or do you think it's time to format the phone and reinstall everything?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WoGijs:
Use your QuickGPS more often to refresh data and it will pick up your sat's way quicker.

Hope I could help ya.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
My QuickGPS is always updated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
you're not trying to get it to work in doors right ?

gps don't work well if at all inside the bricks block too much signal

same reason people keep sat discs outside
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
Nope. In my car.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
Anyone else got any suggestions? Haven't really had any as yet.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] compact_bijou:
No suggestions but I'm experiencing the same issue which began about 5 weeks ago.

For no apparent reason tomtom took an inordinate amount of time to find a sat lock. Mid afternoon, clear sky, no hills/tall buildings for miles. I had to pull over and do a quick gps and restart tomtom. Tomtom was ok to the destination. Next morning, same thing. Day later, same thing. Week later, same thing. In (no particular order) North Lincolnshire, Norfolkshire, South Wales, South Coast, London, Derbyshire ... If I really want a gps lock before I set off I have to do a quick gps. Otherwise tomtom can take 5 to 10 minutes to get a fix.

I've been using totmom since version 2 and I've never had an issue like this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Roman5:
I might try that then. I generally have quickgps updated or maybe a day left before it needs updating again. So maybe updating everytime before I set off and restarting tomtom will get that fix quicker. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Nirak:
Had this behaviour too a while ago, after a soft reset or even after terminating tomtom and fire it straight up again solved the issue.

I have no clue or explanation, but you might give it a try.

i haven't experienced this issue since a few weeks; i flash my device on a regular base, (including radio if recommended), let's me think it has something to do with combination radio/rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Viffer800:
Disable A-GPS

I was having a problem retaining a fix with TT6 on my Diamond. I did a bit of Googling and was advised to disable A-GPS. Despite it supposedly being there to improve things it did exactly the opposite. This might be totally unconnected to your problem of not getting a fix in the first place but I'd give it a go. Nothing ventured, nothing gained ......

Is there a way to change the default (onscreen) keyboard

I know you can go to

Settings > Personal > Input . Input Method > ....

and change it there.. but mine always defaults back to the normal keypad every time..

Yet i would like it to either be "full qwerty" or "phonepad"

is there a registry change maybe?

Thanks
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
If you have SK-tools, you can change the default keyboard to any built-in or 3rd party keyboard you want.

You don't even have to buy it, it works even on trial.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
there is also a tiny free program called sip change

which change the default input device

phonepad is default on my x1
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuztardd:
ahh, i do have sktools.. but where do i find the SIP changer option? there are practically thousands of different options to wade through with that programme..

would be easier to have a registry change though :-)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caliban2:
sipchange works, but sometimes it's a pain to get the right amount of delay.

sktools are the more "elegant" solution, change it once and it stays that way. :)

category "maintenance" -> input methods -> tab & hold on the keyb you wish to make default -> "set as default"

sktools will ask if you're really sure etc... then do a restart.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j006:
I am using a great little program called AutoCallLocker which uses the accelerometer and/or light sensor to lock (and blank) the lcd when in a call and when the phone is held to your face. The problem is that something (presumably Windows) keeps closing the process either after a call or simply after a short time. Any ideas on how to keep this process alive?

Cheers!

maybe write an own application that keeps starting your program over and over again?

Is this ok to do? I have searched and did not find the answer to this. LOTS of threads here too so sorry if I missed it. Thanks.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] crizznaig:
Don't see why not... I usually for my own well being flash the cyanogen mod again then the theme over that... idk why just makes me feel better, but pretty sure you can flash one theme over another...

just do a nandroid before hand and try it out.. worst case just restore your nandroid backup...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] roadrunnerx7:
your not supposed to. flashing the rom then the theme makes it like a new installation type thing stuff lol.. but really its better to just flash the rom. if you go from the theme to theme you could and probably will get some errors from leftover stuff? not sure how it works, just know that the pros have said its best to flash the rom.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] AdrianK:
I've done it before on Cyanogen Mod. It's not like it will brick you phone or anything, but doesn't be surprised if weird things start happening. Jusr reflash your ROM, it only takes a minute and will make sure everything is flashed correctly.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] amac25:
It depends on whats in the theme most themes use the same template and will overwrite the files from the old theme now if the theme has say stericsons lockscreen and the new one doesn't u def need to flash the rom first or you'll def have problems but its always safer to just flash the rom first to overwrite the old theme just in case the new theme has a different template or different apk's inside
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] frankencat:
Cool. That's exactly what I thought. Thanks :)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bert269:
here's my solution.

Since I started playing with themes....

I flash the Cyanogen (the best!) ROM. - Install all my apps (or restore them).

Then boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup. (you can manage/copy this backup-file as your 'golden-copy')

Then flash the theme I want and between flashing themes, do a Nandriod restore.

Works so far pretty good!

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] jairomeo:
Depends on the theme. If the original theme has files the new theme does not, the new theme won't overwrite them. An example is the NFL themes, my first updates, I am not touching framework, so if you flash it over another theme, your status bars and some other things will be that of your original theme. If the contain all the files then the second theme should overwrite everything in the first.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] smacky63:
I noticed that if I flash a theme over another one that they have been blending together OR that icons and details will switch in and out from one to another. It hasnt affected the phone and I thought I was going crazy but restoring the backup then flashing again solved the problem:eek:
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Ace42:
Well yeah you suppose to flash the cyan rom again then you can flash whatever theme.

I've been trying to connect to my university Wifi (eduroam) for quite a while now- but having no luck at all. Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? Really need wifi on my htc hero while im at uni :( Help please.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] my_space:
may i ask what uni?

wifi helper on the market should be able to configure it although i couldn't get it to work with my hero. so ive JUST configured the wpa_supplicant.conf manually for eduroam at UCL...

since im not on campus atm i will report back results tomorrow to see if it works
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T.K.B:
Hahh!! Im UCL too!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
university shouldn't matter, eduroam is a multi-university service

it certainly worked on my hero, though I can't check that now (don't work there any more)

security wpa (or wpa2, can't remember) enterprise, eap PEAP, subtype MSCHAPv2
[Hero, G2 Touch General] my_space:
ok ive got eduroam to work

you will need to download the GTE CyberTrust Global Root certificate in pem format ( i have renamed it to eduroamcert.pem below)

these are the settings for wpa_supplicant i have used to get it to work:

network={
ssid="eduroam"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
anonymous_identity="anonymous@ucl.ac.uk"
identity="XXXXXX@ucl.ac.uk"
password="XXXXXX
ca_cert="/sdcard/eduroamcert.pem"
priority=3
}

doesnt matter what priority you use.

edit::

forgot to mention XXXX for identity is not ur email alias, rather what you use to log in, in the computer rooms
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T.K.B:
Hiya,

Sorry for the insanely late reply lol- have been busy with coursework- hence not being able to come here often. Only been trying to follow your instructions here to get eduroam working on my Hero...but I'm struggling.

Can you please tell me how I install the GTE cybertrust cert into my hero?? Ive downloaded the file....it d'loaded as a zip file. Do I extract it...then move it to the hero sd card??

And to access wpa_supplicant i need to use the windows command window while the htc is hooked up with my pc in recovery mode right?? and then I write in the code you showed me?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fmc159:
hi mate, dont worry about all the stuff above, you dont need it to connect to eduroam. just follow the instructions here (obviously with your own uni's settings and not oxfords):

http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/android/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Volker1:
Eduroam networks generally use the recommended EAP-TTLS/PAP as authentification, which is not supported by the GUI utilities. It is true that some places (Oxford is amazingly good with their network services) offer alternatives like PEAP/MSCHAP precisely because mobile devices are often lacking other options. It all depends on your local network setup.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] db298:
I just got back to Cambridge, and Eduroam works fine with an Orange Hero.

Go to wifi settings:

EAP Type = PEAP

Sub Type = PEAPc0/MSCHAPv2

Username = CRSID email address (ie. ab123@cam.ac.uk) - NB Case sensitive

Password = Network token available from https://tokens.csx.cam.ac.uk/ (need to log in with Raven to this page)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Originalas:
It would be interesting to know where to find this wpa_supplicant thing, so I could edit it.

My university uses same GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root protocol with eduroam. I've tried PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 didn't worked.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] HugoEgon:
i think what you think of is EAP-TTLS (the GTE_.. is just a CertificationAuthority, if i am not wrong). as it was said, you can edit the wpa_supplicant file, somewhere in /data/etc/wifi/, if remember correctly. you could also wait for the 2.1 update, which will bring native support for this EAP-type which works very well.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Originalas:
I've HTC Desire, so I believe it's already runing 2.1. Though it connects to eduroam, but web pages and other stuff doesn't work.

Had Nokia and iPhone, both automatically downloaded all security stuff connecting first time.. and Android OS has some strange issues with eduroam wi-fi.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Originalas:
Here is a fix realmb.com/2010/01/android-certificate-installer/ you can install any security certificate using this to Android 1.6 and above. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] w0ss4g3:
Soz to dig up an old thread but I think it's relevent..

I've been trying to get my hero (T-mob G2) onto eduroam for ages, and I wanted to make the additions to wpa_supplicant but I don't know how to get access to the file system - I only seem to be able to mount the sdcard and not anything higher. I haven't rooted my phone.. is this why?

Thanks for any help :/
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Umm yes. You must root first, and then remount using adb remount for this to work.

Easiest way is to install a custom ROM on your phone, as that will give you root :)
