Cant Delete All;I have important messages

On my Sony Ericsson X10 on 2.1, It takes 10secs to load 5200 messages on 998MHz.

Some messages are important, others aren't.

Apps to delete selective messages of the same thread take 3secs per a message or they crash.

Is there amazing apps that do it quickly or even better to do it by the standard operating system.

PS I have to manually scroll through the message thread (from the messaging app) how do i get the blue quick scroller (either from an app or anything)

Sorry guys but I don't see HTC spending time fixing bugs on an old handset with an operating system they don't use anymore.

These issues have been around since I got my HD2 in Dec 09. I suggest heading over to the android section and digging your teeth in.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] yogam1:
Dear All,

A basic question and yes I am a noob.

I have the stock 6.5 rom which comes with Sense. And most of the 6.5 themes available here is for Titanium. So my question is, can I download one of the Titanium themes, disable Sense and apply the Titanium theme? Will it affect my manila files?

Please dont flame for the question

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] orb3000:
Yes you can and all will be ok
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dgourd:
It will work, but with Sense enabled, you wont see Titanium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] yogam1:
Thanks to both of you :)
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'm loving my HD2, and I'm very happy with the HTC Sense UI, but there's a couple of things that are really bugging me.

One of them is just stupid.

I'm a developer myself, but a Windows dev, not really mobile, and there's NO WAY ON THIS EARTH that I would EVER make a menu that only had 1 option in it.

With that in mind, why on earth do I have to go to Settings, Menu, and then All Settings, to get the settings menu???

Okay, I understand it going to the settings tab, but why there's a menu titled 'Menu' that only has the 1 option of 'All Settings' in it I'll never know. It would make much more sense to just have 'All Settings' instead of 'Menu'.

Can anyone in-the-know give some pointers on how this might be changed? A CAB file would obviously be preferable ;), but I'm happy to look into this a bit myself.

I know there's some über geniuses on these forums (suck suck). Can any of you help out?
[HD2 General] christonabike:
yeah it's not very ergonomically sound

The 'original' settings shortcut is hidden, you can show it by modifying:

HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\HideSettings

Change it from 1 to 0, soft reset, then delete the settings shortcut in windows\Start Menu\Programs

edit: more info here (and it seems you can't delete the 'new' settings link) :(

[HD2 General] alexd83:
It is indeed a bit strange...

We can say that it is a kind of "protection"... To avoide people playing with your mobile to be directly in the settings ...

That is the only reason I see so far (maybe not a good one) :)
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Well, what settings do you need that are in the original WM settings screen and not in HTC's 'More -> Settings'?

But yeah, the 'More' menu with only one item is pretty ridiculous indeed.
[HD2 General] zukers:
I have a question how to make guick link on main screen to settings (WM settings not manila settings)?
[HD2 General] mrdannyaitch:
In BSB tweaks, there's the option to have Windows Settings as on/off. I have mine on, which gives me two "gear" icons - one is Settings, the other is Manilla Settings. The Settings icon takes me straight to the All Settings you mention.

Any good for you?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I want to put an HTC dream on Bell, because now that Bell is HSPA it is compatible with the device. All I need is a sim card and I'm good to go. However, would I face problems doing this? For example, how does the device know which number to dial to get a data connection going, and things like that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
From what I can tell, the telus/bell hspa network is 850/1900 and ONLY supports 3G, i.e., there is NO EDGE FALLBACK. This means that you *MUST* get a device that supports hspa 850/1900, which means you need a ROGERS HTC DREAM. An ADP1 or tmobile-branded DREAM will NOT work on telus/bell.

Note: Do NOT hold me to this info, do your own research to verify that these statements are accurate.

As for getting a data connection, that is simply a matter of plugging in the correct APN info that matches your network. But quite frankly, at $40 for 500MB, I would stick with WiFi for data.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I bought a Rogers dream. I have the htc Vogue with 7 dollars unlimited data now, so that's why I'm curious about if my data will work, as the $7 unlimited data was only for the Vogue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
Thr $7 unlimited plan will not work with the dream. Thre only smart phone that bell allowed that plan on was the vogue/touch and they consider it a pda device. The data will most certainly look different on bells network because you'll be connecting to the new hdspa network. Bell will be able to tell that you are on a smart phone on their new network and charge you accordingly.

The only possible work around I xcould think of would b e to register a 3g dumbphone on the new sim card and thewn try to put that sim card in the dream but like I said bell can tell the difference between dumb phone data and smaet phone data so you'll probably get dinged fairly hard
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
Hmm, I'm not sure which speed my data is on the vogue. At the top it says 3G with android, but on Windows Mobile it said EVDO.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
Well bells cdma network was also considered 3g so if the phone was capable then it should of had 3g connection.

Like I said youn can try and register a hdspa equipped dumbphone and then throw the sim in your dream but I'm not sure how well that will work and that is assuming bell doesn't hardware IMEI lock the account
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
Hmm, can I use some tweak on the dream to tell it only to use 3G?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
The dream and the touch work on complety different networks. Assuming the touch does get 3g data it does so on bells cdma network whereas rogers dreram wikk get 3g speeds on bells new hdspa network wich is more like a gsm network. There is no way to fool bell into believing the dream is working on the old cdma network.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
So my only shot is to try to convince the folks at Bell to let me keep the $7 unlimited data on HSPA?

I don't know if I'm allowed to switch plans during a contract, but even if I do I think Bell is ridiculously expensive for data. I pay $55 now, and I think it would cost me just short of $70 a month for just 1GB of data:(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
I can tell you now that you're noting going to get $7 unlimited data on any other smart phone device other than your touch.

Depending on how far you are into your contract(more than 6 months) I would call retensions and try to negotiate a better deal. You can check the Bell section of Howardforums to see what is currently being offered. Also depending on where you work you might be able to get an EPP plan.

You can always change your plan on contract you just can't drop your plan. Also if you get a retension plan or EPP plan you will have to renew for another 3 years.

Also if you do switch to normal data read the fine print. That might also require a 1 or 3year contract, I'm not sure I haven't looked at it.

I know the Rogers 1gb+ plans require at least a 1 year contract sigining. They might have even raised that to 3 years, can't remember.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
I have no idea how to get in touch with retentions, or what I could say to them. I just know I would burn through 500mb of data in several days:p

Thanks for this information though, certainly worth looking into.

I can confirm that a T-Mobile G1 (sim unlocked) will not work on Telus.

I went to a Quebec telus store yesterday to try and have it activated, I bought a Sim card and put it in the phone, the phone was unable to see the Telus network, it was only seeing the Rogers network.

Darn.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
In fact, it was only seeing the rogers *EDGE* network.

Telus/bell don't have edge at all.

You need a *rogers dream* to find the telus/bell hspa signal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macmee:
Good that's what I have :)

is all I have to do put my sim card in, or do I have to like, configure the device to use Bells dial 777 for data thing?

Just a heads up for people who want to use a Rogers Dream on Bell or Telus, you'll need to get the APN settings for their network.

I pulled these settings from Bells website, but I'm not sure they are complete

Okay thanks guys. I tried the apn info on my Vogue which is on android, and they worked, so I can only assume theey will work. On the dream
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
I can confirm the Rogers Dream works with Telus also. It always shows as Roaming but still works fine, just have to enable data connection when roaming.

Telus' APN settings are:

TELUS SP:

APN = sp.telus.com

Proxy = 74.49.0.18

Port 80

Username = <not set>

Password = <not set>

Server = <not set>

MMSC = http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc

MMS proxy = 74.49.0.18

MMS Port = 80

MMS Protocol = WAP 2.0

MCC = 302

MNC = 220

APN type = default,mms

Also, anyone plannning to run CyanogenMod on their Dream or Magic should consider this tutorial for installation, it allows you to keep the 3.22.20.17 radio image that is stock on the Rogers phones and improves the data connection. There is also this bit of info that enables full UMTS support when running CyanogenMod.

This seems very interesting. Did it make a big difference for you? I don't really understand how to apply this patch. Where do we find this build.trout.prop?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Charrion:
I'm still testing to see if it really made a difference or if I just coincidentally got a good test.

You can find build.trout.prop in /system. There is a script out now that can replace your file with the edited one. Or you can pull the file with ADB, edit it (just not with notepad for windows users, try notepad++), remount /system with read/write and push the edited full with ADB. Reboot and enjoy.

I have been using a rogers htc dream on bell since December/09. I don't download much. Just web, email, gps, yellowpages, maps, directions, and tethering for the same activities when I am out of town. The bell web site says I use about 50mb per month. I am not a heavy user, but I use data every day I am at work and when I am not at home.

I am willing to share my experiences on Bell with the rogers dream. Just ask.

My plan is $60/month plus tax for 500mb data, 200 day minutes, 6pm evenings, 250 text messages, call display, voice mail, and a few other small things I can't think of right now.

hopefully this isn't too far off topic, but i am on the Telus network, and am looking at buying a brand new HTC dream from a Rogers customer who had his replaced recently. it is supposed to be brand new in box. I am wondering if this phone will have had the e911 patch installed from factory??? as i understand the e911 patch locks the phone down tight, making it un-unlockable and unrootable..? or does the phone ship without the patch/"updated" firmaware??

any help is greatly appreciated!

Rogers Dream on Bell Internet -- fact or fantasy?

It's amazing how the big Canadian telcos work what with their rotten contracts and trickery.

On one hand, there's Bell that openly invites outside users to activate their unlocked Rogers Dream phone on the Bell network claiming full functionality "except perhaps for a couple of the Rogers apps or browser links". On the other hand, after days of research, it seems Rogers wrote their firmware so it only works on the Rogers network.

Then there's the noble and well-meaning army of hackers trying to stay ahead of the game and avoiding turning Dreams into bricks.

I've scoured the net and considered every solution I could find including an APN from a well-intentioned Bell tech support guy whom I learned had read the APN for i.e. "pda2.bell.ca" the iPhone.

I have Android 1.5 and wondered whether updating to the latest CyanogenMod or whatever might help but there was no definitive answer. I didn't think it was worth the risk of bricking my phone to find out.

Nonetheless, my Rogers Dream cannot get internet on the Bell network even though Bell has said through a number of dealers and customer service/tech support calls, that the phone uses the same frequencies and is supposed to be compatible.

Anyone out there have an idea how I can tweak my little beastie so it can get into the Bell internet service?

Thanks. ;)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimRom:
Hi david1212,

You did it! I used the first APN you listed but I can't quote here because of this site's policy --

" 1. To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed."

Oh well, that's understandable.

Charrion's APN got me a 3G icon in the notice bar but there was no data flow.

Your APN produces the 3G icon and another icon that looks like an H with up and down arrows that light up when data flows. The Mobile Network State now reads "Connected" and the drop-down tab on the notice bar confirms data transfer.

After 2 weeks of fussing and confusion, I now have an non-rooted Rogers Dream with Android 1.5 (pre-911 update) that is fully functional with Bell Mobility but

no thanks to the jerks at Bell Mobility

. To think all they had to do was give me a simple APN but refused on several occasions. I don't mean the poor cust serv reps who follow orders, I mean the administrators who set policy. In fact, hat's off to one BM tech rep who sounded worried when he read an APN to me -- he sounded genuinely worried as if he might get busted for side-stepping BM policy.

I'll test my new data capabilities and report back here in a while if there are any issues.

Thanks to you and Charrion and to xdadevelopers for providing a fantastic site to the community!

Still, it would be great to get the player and/or root and upgrade the Android OS to Cyanogen 2.1. Any thoughts?

hi to all.

My problem here:

Every Rom i test, become unusable in a while.

My diamond was bricked few days ago, and i received a new one by my phisical and logical damage insurance.

I'm not a noob (but not a pro :P)

I've always followed instruction for rom changing. hspl, radio and rom.

I was trying to test several roms, (i'm italian, i've tryed Lovers 6.5, but was slow, so i turned back to 6.1 roms).

I've tryed Kimera, and lot of italian roms. Every time that i begin to customize them (by installations of Oxios Memory, cleartemp, google maps, restore from pimbackup, changing tf3d background, facebook linking my contacts etc) every rom stuck, become slow, and for every operation take more than a minute. Many application shortcut become unavailable, and when it is impossible to reach the reset application (different application from any roms, same problem) and attempt manual reset (soft reset) it performs HARD RESET!!!

Sometimes also performing hard reset, installation batch says "installation error", or error occourred while attempting to install (application name).

First time i was thinking about a rom problem, (strange because many other users doesn't see this problem) so i've changed to another, same problem, another rom same problem, and so on.

So i try to change hspl, from 1.93 to 1.40, same things, several tryes, same problem, so i now turn to hspl 1.34...

_________________

Edit: Hspl 1.34, 1.37 (signed or not), 1.38 and 1.93 show me (in bootloader, or three-colored screen) the same message:

In the red zone

DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OlinNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11

In the green zone

PSOC-Diam STAGE_PVT v0x32

Is this situation normal?

_________________

Now i'm testing on 1.34 hspl. If it shows another problem?

Do you think about an hardware error on diamond?

How can i solve/fix this?

Edit: Testing in 1.34 give same problem.

Any Ideas?

Please any help needed, Thanks in advance for patient in reading my bad and ugly english...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blackbeast:
SOLVED:

Ruu i was using for Hspl flashing was not correct.
