Helo my beloved community!

So, since the HD2 utilizes quite a lot of the data connection quite frequently (mostly for weather updates), it would be good to have an option to disconnet the data connection automatically. I presume that this is probably a registry hack. This feature can be found for example in TD2/TP2 Tools. I don't want to wait until HD2 Tolls (or Tweaks or something else:P) shows up (I hope it will quickly because its always something very welcome!), so maybe someone could answer quickly where to tamper with the registry to do that?

Thx in advance!
[HD2 General] sharpey:
any update on this?

my gprs doesnt shutdown when its not being used
[HD2 General] kinnyfaifai:
I've used an old tweak I found which seems to have done the trick, not really watched it closely enough to find out as not had time yet.

Go here: http://www.andrewsayshello.com/windows-mobile/auto-disconnecting-idle-data-connections-in-wm6/

Report back and see if it does work for you! :)
[HD2 General] jgal:
Thx a lot, I'm still waiting form my HD2 to ship, so I'll try this as soon as possible :)
[HD2 General] sharpey:
thanks for the reply but ive installed the cab and restarted but it doesnt seem to do anything
[HD2 General] Ciddy:
I just did the mentioned reg edits but it didn't seem to work. Then installed the cab to countercheck for my mistake. Didnt change the result, didn't work...

Even though I noticed the CacheTime setting existed from the start and was set to 600 (10 minutes).

SuspendResume original value was "~GPRS!"

Data charges are not so much the issue, I'm just concerned it might drain the battery quicker if the connection remains open permanently.
[HD2 General] jgal:
Try to do the regedits like this:

SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off

CacheTime=5 (decimal)

VPNCacheTime=5 (decimal)

It works on my TD2, which to my knowledge has the same WM6.5 as the HD2 does. By the way, did You set the end call button long press to "terminate data connection"? If You did, then UNDO it
[HD2 General] sharpey:
how do i check the endcall button?
[HD2 General] jgal:
Right, You can't check it, as none of the HD2's hardware buttons are configurable:P Just ignore that question. Anyway, I think Ive figured it out to some point. It looks like the registry hack works whenever the phone connects to the web to for example browse the internet or update stocks. But it DOESN'T WORK if the phone connects to download weather updates. It looks like the Sense weather app is somehow preventing the data connection to shut down. But I think it only happens when automatic weather updates downloading is set.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
hmm you do appear to be correct... now why is the weather app hanging onto the data session
[HD2 General] Ciddy:
Well, just tried setting both CacheTime and VPNCachetime and when checking mail I can confirm it works.

Thanks a lot! :) Mail checking schedule set up.
[HD2 General] jgal:
absolutely no idea:P I think someone smarter than us should try to find the answer. Ive already done a rather brief look around the registry and tried to find something that would get the weather app such privileges but with no success. Im thinking of addressing a new topic about that, so its more visible to the community
[HD2 General] sharpey:
Twitter app doesn't close the data connection either
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
This is really annoying me. My battery was draining fast and could not find out why. Now I have found out that it is because I am constantly connected to Mobile Web on O2. I have tried terminating it but it starts again. Even after unchecking auto update for weather and twitter it still turns on and never off. I have mail set to download automatically but if i turn that off too then what is the point of having this phone and feature?

I have tried the setting in HD Tweak app to turn off data after 1 minute but noy joy.

Any help? Pleaseee.
[HD2 General] jgal:
Theres one more thing you should check out. The biggest connection-demander was always the NOT PROPPERLY CLOSED OPERA. If you use the opera browser, be sure to close it NOT with the X in the upper right corner, but through Opera Menu->exit function. If you close it with X, it only goes minimized and does not shut down the connection. Even if you close it, because opera is still running, after some time it will want to refresh a page and conect again. Thats why you have the imression that the phone connects by itsself. Thats not the phone, its opera :P
[HD2 General] hussan882:
I did the above and it works :) thanks!

Also as stated, weather, opera etc will keep your data connection active...so end task and it should shut down a few seconds later.
[HD2 General] jgal:
What do you mean by "end task"?...
[HD2 General] hussan882:
I have installed a shortcut to taskmgr in my quicklinks - so if i see something constantly running i end task...it shuts it down rather than minimising it which is what happens when you hit the little X in most cases. The taskmgr tip is in the sticky at the top of the page.
[HD2 General] jgal:
Yes I know what you mean but you can't kill the weather app or twitter in this fashion as they run within Sense itsself. Besides, killing processes is not the point. The point is to have an automatic data disconnection, so you dont have to do or kill anything
[HD2 General] HSKalay:
Hey guys,

Can any one tell me what the VPN cache time was originally set as?
[HD2 General] Alcatrazx:
I encountered the same problem ....

Guys

I bumped into the same issue just today. My HD2 has got

- HSPL 2.08

- Radio version - 2.07.51.22_2

- Stock HTC HD2 ROM - 1.66.405.2

In my country, the data plans are very expensive so basically the weather app drained out like 5 Euros in around an hour, so clearly in my case I got no alternative but to terminate the data connection

- (either through - the End call menu)

- (or through the wireless connection menu - Data Connection to (off) position)

Anyways, I have to point out this as well..... My dataplan does not charge by how much time you have "an open connection" to the internet but rather it charges by the kb's downloaded so far..... so the question is

"WTF is our phone downloading?"

- I also made sure to turn of the feedbacks in WM6.5 and also the error reporting system together with the location service optimization ( to eliminate any possible uploads). And still this thing keeps an open conneciton to the internet and drains the battery in a jiffy.....

I am looking up HTC's support site to see if there are any major updates Re this issue, will post back if i find anything interesting.....

On second thought ...this might also have to do "something" with the Radio version that we are using (in conjunction with its respective rllphone.dll file) maybe I am using the wrong radio - rllphone.dll combination?

Somebody more experienced in the matter could confirm if the radio (with a wrong rllphone.dll file) might cause this syndrome?

Guys if you can post your software information, it would be of help.

Regards All

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dannzeman:
I just rooted the phone (I know this because I installed a screen shot app and it works) and I'm trying to copy a private app that is free off of my phone onto my computer. But, I cannot figure it out. Could someone please give me step-by-step instructions. I would really appreciate this.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] crake001:
It sounds like you have completed this process:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581577

But read it and make sure you complete the last step to flash the recovery rom.

www.androidspin.com/downloads...roc-v1.2.3.img

He kind of botched the last command instead of:

adb shell flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img

it should be:

adb shell

cd /sdcard/

su

flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img

Once you make sure this is done, turn of your phone and then hold Home button and press end button. This should load the recovery, choose Nandroid Backup once you are done backing up you will want to flash Modaco's 1.1 rom. More information can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581846

Once this is done connect your phone to your pc, and open command prompt.

type in:

cd "the directory where the sdk is" \tools

then type:

If you are using appstosd with ext2 and fat32 partitioned sdcard:

adb pull /system/sd/app app

If you are using just fat32, no appstosd:

adb pull /data/app app

this will put all your apps into a directory named app in your \tools folder on your pc.

for private apps just replace app with app-private

alternatively, you can move apps one at a time with the command:

leave out " ".

adb pull /system/sd/app/"appname" "appname"

This will place the file directly into your tools directory. Hope this helps.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dannzeman:
Yep, thats what I did. But I didn't flash the recovery rom. If I do that will it erase all my applicastion that I have installed? I didn't want to do that because the app I want to backup was free when I downloaded it but now it's not.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dannzeman:
Ok, so I followed all the instructions above and go the in MoDaCo rom flashed. Then, when I tried to pull the apps off the sdcard I get a permissions denied error.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dannzeman:
Thanks.

Now I have a new problem. It says "adb: not found". Now what?

Thanks for being so helpful everyone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] nelson8403:
adb is a command that is run outside of the shell

for example your prompt would still be at

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/app-private (location)

you can't use adb inside of adb shell
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dannzeman:
Ah, I didn't know adb had to be run outside of the shell.

Now it says there aren't any files in app-private but I know there are two in there.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] Cpt.Nemo:
Hi

Since some day I have an Imate-SPL.

The only problem at the moment, I cant change the t9 language directly in the message-app.

When I install English t9-cab I just have English there and if I install german t9-cab just german.

I find a “t9 Greek-English.cab”, with this I can change the language directly (see picture below), but t is Greek/English and I need German/English.:confused:

1. Is there an cab for both languages?

2. If not, how can I modify the “t9 Greek-English.cab” for German/English?

3. Or is there an other way to change language directly in the message-app?

This is my first WM-Phone, so I am not so familiar with this now.:rolleyes:

Thanks for your help.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] pkspidermonkey:
Hello peeps, I posted this in another thread but thought it prudent to create a new thread as well.

I am using an unlocked Hero on the Three Network in the UK, I bought it last month just before they announced that they were releasing the phone with spotify.

Anyway I was able to install the skype client this morning, which, as it was on my old 3 phone, worked perfectly with using any of my minutes.

The issue I know have is that it does not put the phone back to sleep, even after I removed the installation and power cycled my phone... it is awake 100% of the time even after skype has been removed and my power usage has suffered as a result.

I used taskiller to check but skype is not running and I can seem to work out what is running permanently. Any help or ideas (I'm pretty nooby when it comes to this though) would be appreciated.

Cheers,

John.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
No such problem here. Just to confirm. Indeed this matter could have been raised in existing thread. Not to worry.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cambria83:
Where can you get the 3 skype client for Hero from? I am currently using the modified iskoot and didn't realise you could get the official 3 skype client now?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pkspidermonkey:
It's now available on android market, under skype 3 beta I believe. Or you can go to the three website, go to the skype area, select your phone and enter your number and they will send a text message with the address to download from.

Lucan, you're right, after a couple of resets and reinstalls it seems to be ok now...very weird indeed.

I've noticed when dialling a skype contact it actually believes I am dialing someone else and it comes up with another name in the dialled number lists.

Also not getting any contact details when someone dials in from skype, just details as 'skype contact'. I think i can live with this though...

PLease delete this thread if you think it is necessary,

cheers,

John
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pkspidermonkey:
actually, scratch my last comments, it does seem to be chewing power when logged into skype...very frustrating!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
pkspidermonkey,

Compared to iskoot I and several other have been using in the absense of Skype on 3, it is not too bad. I am sure there will be several releases before final.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] piannetta:
Hi,

I have a stock TP2 and am keen to upgrade to the HTD 6.5 upgrade ROM. What's putting me off is having to rebuild my device. My PIM data isn't a problem as I sync with my work Exchange server, and even reinstalling apps isn't daunting (although quite tedious).

What puts me off is the application data. I have a lot of apps that I've spent a lot of time over a number of months configuring and setting up for my needs. I don't want to have to go through and do all that again.

Maybe I'm missing something, but is there a way for me to restore application data in one go without doing it manually? I'm guessing that doing a complete restore from my SPB Backup files won't work as they will attempt to reinstall the old WM6.1 files?

Some friendly help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Pete

THe best way to get it done cleanly with some customizing in Sashimi, but it does have a decent learning curve. Check out the videos here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqeiv3en2Kg
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] piannetta:
Thanks rvt1000

I'd never heard of this app, I'm learning about it now. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me out of my predicament, which is how do I preserve my app data when I upgrade to 6.5, or do I have to take a hit now but rebuild with Sashimi so I don't have to repeat the process?

I assume that Sashimi resolves my issues of restoring all the associated databases of each my apps?

Pete
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rvt1000:
you can use sashimi now to backup your apps and such then upgrade, then run it to put everything back in place. that should be fine but you've got a bit of reading to do to figure the thing out, which I'm still working on myself! :-)

can you find out the reason help me to save my phone ?

my phone have trouble in searching sim .

it that mean when i put sim card into the phone ,it receive the phone sign about 1-2 minute then the phone screen show that "searching sim " and the phone no sign ,can not call out .

i have tried every method to save it but i still cry when see my phone can not use .

IDEAS:

Check if the phone radio is on

Try another SIM card

Can be a battery problem. Charge full battery, turn off the phone, take baterry off for 3 mins, then put it on again and turn on the phone.

Try with another battery.

Perform a hard reset / change your ROM version.
[HTC Excalibur] rxj2809:
i have done these method ,but the phone still died ,radio was on ,but no sign ,tell me your opinion about this is what reason?
[HTC Excalibur] aaron8301:
Same prob

I had the same problem with my Dash, and I gave up on it a year ago.

Symptoms:

Phone randomly loses signal every few minutes, gets it back a few minutes later.

Sometimes when it loses signal, it shows a SIM error or no SIM installed icon.

Battery meter varies wildly.

Actions taken:

Purchased new battery.

Tried another known good SIM (my wife's SIM - worked great in her phone).

Flashed WM 6.0 and 6.1

Result: Look at my sig ;)

Anyone else experience this or have any ideas on how to fix? I don't even need the phone anymore, but it still stumps me and annoys me that such an expensive phone (it was expensive when I bought it 2.5 years ago) would suddenly quit working.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Archer:
Hi everyone.

I'm a BIG fan of Miri's ROMs, and because of this I was always eager to know when he's released a new version. I could obviously keep checking the thread where his ROMs are posted & discussed, but I wanted something to let me know as soon as he posted something, without me having to manually check.

With that in mind, I came up with the "MiriROMWatcher" application. Simply download the file linked below and follow these instructions to install it...

Miri ROM Watcher - download

1. Unzip the rar file and place the exe file somewhere on your harddrive that you're happy with

2. Create a shortcut to the exe file (right-click and drag the file, let go and select "Create shortcut(s) here").

3. Move that shortcut file into your windows startup folder (so it starts every time you run windows.)

4. Double click the shortcut, or exe, to run the program.

Once it's running, it sits in your system tray and checks Miri's page every 10 minutes to see if the page title has changed. If it has, the icon flashes until you double-click it. (Double-clicking opens the thread in your default browser, whether flashing or not.) Since Miri changes the thread title to reflect the version number, it's a pretty simple way of looking for a new version of the ROM.

This is not a flashy, user-friendly program - it's a simple app that does a simple thing. With that in mind, there'll be no config files or front end, and it will probably never be updated in any way. If it doesn't work for you, send me a private message and I'll see if I can help, but I'm not promising anything. It's such a simple app that it should just work anyway.

Hope it helps some people out. If there's enough interest I'll look at doing a mobile version, so you know of updates even when you're out and about!

Thanks all.

Edit:

I've modified the application to ignore page titles "Error Message" and "502 Bad Gateway". Whenever the XDA forum went down (for whatever reason), the app was seeing the error or gateway message as a new page title, and showing an update. It now simply ignores the page if it sees one of those titles. If you need to update the app, simply replace the existing exe file with the new one (make sure that the app is not running when you do this, or it won't work.)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
MOD EDIT

As this is an application I've moved it to Themes, Applications and Software forum. I suggest you also post a link in Miri's threads

[Hero CDMA General] goku14238:
I know that we were talking about in another thread that if some programs can be used to harm your phone if you have root. Is there a way to rename su to something else.. lets say to become super user, instead of typing su, you would type fk and it would do the same thing?

Thanks in advanced!
[Hero CDMA General] thither:
You certainly could rename it (you'd want something like "mv /bin/su /bin/fk"), but if enough people do this, malware writers will just start having their software check for both "su" and "fk" so it's not really much protection.
[Hero CDMA General] CapnBry:
Well if fk is insecure, use something like np or something. Or name it like 6REtdZnYHOHzGpzvOrQp and then make a symlink to it called su to make it easy to remember.
[Hero CDMA General] goku14238:
I was just using fk as an example. Would this method remove su though?

Could we go as far as to password protect it?
[Hero CDMA General] nelson8403:
Just install Superuser Permissions, it'll ask you if you want to allow root access to programs when they try to..
[Hero CDMA General] goku14238:
If we go this route, will you still be able to access su? Seems like you moved it, but you would still be able to access su
