[Touch 3G General] m4dbra1n:
Hi guys, I have a question for you:is there anybody out there (pink floyd docet XD ) that have a solution for the stand-by issue?

Why we have always to press the ON button to reactivate our clone from stand-by? It's not possibile to reactivate it simply by pressing the 2 side sticks or the central button? Or even touching the screen?

This is stupid, and I think that the ON/OFF button will not last forever in this way...

Another question: do you have solutions for the poor gps reception? Do you added something to the internal antenna? What of the 3 is?

Thanks in advance ;)

Hello peoples, I am looking into buying new phone. Cell companies ask far to much $ for services so I am looking to stay PAYG. This Jade clone is on my short list of possibilities. I do have function and quality concerns. I have had dealings w/ DX and I am familiar with the hit and miss of the clone technology.

1.Bump on the power button and some sort of work around.

2. How is the call quality on this phone. I would think it would be different from supplier to supplier. Any details would be great.

soft reset problem

i am having a problem with my HTY T3232/T3238. i've installed the apps ronp suggested and made the backup and when it does the soft reset i lose all the apps that i have installed...

Do you know what can produce the problem?
[Touch 3G General] dsf3g:
Are you sure you're doing a soft reset? Sounds like you're doing a hard reset if you're losing your apps. Keep in mind that Chinese clones have different reset procedures.

On my Clone (bought through DX) I hold the power button for a couple of seconds and turn the phone off. That pretty much clears memory and running processes, so it's basically a soft reset. I don't think I've ever had to push the reset button.

This phone has been fantastic in the 6 months or so I've owned it. My biggest issue has been not being able to find a suitable wired headphone adapter, since audio out on the USB port is wired differently from the standard HTC audio out.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] pflatlyne:
I just cooked a rom with voip builtin. I created two tpad accounts to test with and entered the account information. I then set it to default to voip whenever its available and to use 3g. If I dial its tpad number it will now ring and answer the call over both 3g and wifi. So far so good. While it will only use the rear speaker,I found that if you connect a bluetooth headset and choose handsfree mode from the dialer,it switches to the bt headset and works perfectly. I havent gotten it to dial out yet,but I think thats just the dialplan (and I havent really worked on that yet).

The big problem I have had is getting the today plugin to work. Its listed in the today settings but I check the box and even reboot but it does not appear on the today screen. Ive searched and searched but found that others have had the problem,but not found a solution.

I dont mean to be rude here,but reading the other threads,someone allways chimes in and derails the conversation by suggesting their favorite VOIP software. Im not interested in Fring or Skype or Gizmo. I know all about them,and I dont want to use them.

If I can get the today plugin to work,VOIP seems very usable.

I woke up yesterday morning and had an idea for an app...

Now im not a coder so im not sure how easy it would be but im thinking alot of it should be pretty simple.

Now to the core of the app.

My thoughts are for an app that goes and retrieves your voicemail and saves it as a mp3 on your phone.

1. When a message is recieved from a certain number the app is triggered

2. The app starts recording the voice mail that is left.

3. (this is the tricky part) detect when the voicemail has finish and send the no. to delete the message. For my voicemail i press 3 to delete the messages.

4. Hang up the call and save the message to your phone.

Now there is a few reasons behind this.

It will save on money for some people, as i know here in Aus some companies charge to ring your voicemail no. So this app could download it and you could listen to it as much as possible.

If its important you could save it off to your computer or email to someone else to listen to.

As i said im not a coder but i thought this might be a good idea for someont o look into. Would have been good for the ADC2 but entries have finished for that now.

Anyway if any developers want to run with this go a head.
[G1 Apps and Games] Jamison904:
Great idea! But it has already been done. Check the market
[G1 Apps and Games] memphisraynz:
seriously, lol

Whats the name of it

Thanks for the heads up
[G1 Apps and Games] lookout4theyeti:
pf fusion voicemail, youmail I think, tmobile visual voicemail. I personally use pf fusion visual voicemail. It saves the messages to your sd card, has a nice user interface, and also backs them up to their server so you can retrieve them online.
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
youmail does exactly the same thing. in addition to that, if you buy a youmail premium subscription (they have several levels depending on how many voicemails you regularly get) you can get the voicemails transcribed to text and displayed as well.

another one to add to the list is google voice. also does the above mentioned features.
[G1 Apps and Games] memphisraynz:
Thanks for your suggestions everyone.

There is an issue with the suggestions though.

I live in Australia and all the options are for the US.

YouMail and PhoneFusion both need your voicmail to be diverted to them and GoogleVoice isnt here yet.

What I was thinking of is something that runs from your phone.

The App calls your pre defined Voicemail number and records the message and saves it to your phone.

Would work worldwide and you wouldnt need to change your voicemail details.

Anyway, just a thought
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
I understand what you're trying to say and from a developer standpoint, I can fill you in as to why it wouldnt work.

First, voicemail is like call forwarding. After your phone stops ringing, nothing is actually happening on your phone. The call is forwarded after a preset number of rings, or an action (like pressing the end key to ignore the call) to a voicemail server, which answers and records the message. At that point, your phone is completely out of the loop, so the idea of having it record to both the phone and the voicemail server is dead right there because it just cant be done. The way youmail, t-mobile vvm, google voice and phonefusion simulate this is by recording the message on their servers and then downloading it to your phone using your data connection.

Now, it would be possible to have your phone do the recording after a certain number of rings, like an answering machine, but it would be ridiculously process intensive because it would have to be running at all times. This would do two things:

1. slow down your phone considerably.

2. eat battery like you wouldnt believe.

And whats the point of having something like this if your phone is going to be dead all the time and unable to record messages anyway?

So yes, its possible, but not feasible. GV should be in australia soon, seeing as the wave development team is entirely based there. So keep your fingers crossed until then.
[G1 Apps and Games] Riel:
ok I wanted this app too, but you think too hard.

Disable provider voicemail.

After 10 rings, let phone pick up call and play message. Then a beep, and the phone starts recording.

No external voicemail server needed, just have an anwering machine application.
[G1 Apps and Games] dekeijzer:
Why would slow your phone down so much? It could be service, not doing anything untill a call is recieved. If it rings too long it takes over.

It doesn't need to record all the time.
[G1 Apps and Games] Zeltaz:
Try HulloMail
[G1 Apps and Games] shmigao:
can't find HulloMail in the market

i also would like to have this "answering machine" app... and I also don't understand why this would slow down the phone, or eat up a lot of battery. as someone said already, it would run in the background (like "toggle settings" "missed call" and all the other services do) and just really start to work when a call comes in and it has to play a message and record the callers message.

the only downside (with which i can live) is certainly that the phone has to be switched on all the time, because off it couldn't record anything. for me that is no problem, i have a docking station at home and in the office, so when i am not running around, it is charged.

technically i see this as very feasible

i wonder whether devs shy away from this... because actually doing this is a major attack at the "revenue machine" of mobile operators, because - well - a local soft answering machine would take a huge amount of calling minutes away from the operators.
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
Actually that's not exactly true. If you take a look in the Android Call Settings. Under GSM/CDMA Call Settings > Call Forwarding, you'll see that Call Forwarding when busy, unanswered and unreachable can all be disabled. It's possible one could write a program to catch the call after it rings X times, but I'm not sure if Android has that kind of hook in its API yet.

But as for it being impossible due to the forwarding, that's utterly false.
[G1 Apps and Games] lbcoder:
Quite simple.

Cancel the carrier answering service. (I hate the term "voicemail" -- everyone who uses it should be shot dead).

Have the program answer the phone after some defined number of rings and record it.

1) It would NOT slow down your phone.

2) It would NOT eat battery.

Don't know where that guy got the idea that it would... it WON'T.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagobt:
Hello,

I'm trying to get A2SD working in my HTC Hero. I'm using MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.9. What I did was partition my SD card using a card reader and Ubuntu Linux (I used an application called GParted). I used the following partition table:

Patition 1: FAT32 (730MB)

Partition 2: Ext4 (512MB)

Partition 3: Linux Swap (32MB)

Then, I went to recovery mode and reinstalled MoDaCo. The installation went fine, and I have the impression A2SD is trying to use my Ext4 partition. However, the applications Google Maps and Google Sky Map (which I've just installed) crash almost every time, showing the following message:

"The application Google Maps has stopped unexpectedly."

I suspect the problem is either the Ext4 format (which I believe is new) or my SD card, which is a SanDisk 8GB microSD (class 2).

Do you guys think I should buy a better card? Or format it again? Is it OK to format the card in Ubuntu? Or is something else wrong?

Thanks a lot,

Tiago
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagobt:
I'm trying to reinstall the apps that are crashing, and that seems to be working. However, I couldn't figure out how to reinstall Google Maps. I uninstalled it, but I didn't find it in Android Market. Is there an easy way to install Google Maps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagobt:
I think what's causing the problem is turning the phone on without the SD card. The apps that were installed to the card disappear from the list, but if I restart the phone with the card in, the crashes start.

Does that make sense?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanyowl:
Check to see if you have swapper installed this is not needed in 2.9 and could be the cause of the crashing. For that matter nor is the Swap partition. Google Maps can be got here:

http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-google-android-apps-maps-jw.aspx

and yes starting the phone without the SD Card in will cause any apps on the EXT4 partition to dissappear.

If you reformat the card you will have to re install the apps anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiagobt:
Thanks for the answer! I don't have Swapper installed. I was going to install it, but I'll follow your advice.

I ended up formatting the card again and reinstalling MoDaCo. So far, I haven't taken the card out and everything's working fine. I'm pretty sure what caused the crashes was the fact that I started the phone without the SD card. The apps in the card disappeard, but when I restarted the phone with the card in, the apps that reappeared were not functional (they crashed every time). Is this a known issue or were the apps supposed to resume working?

I guess the final advice is to keep the card in at all times...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdusen:
The only way that I know of is to use a HERO or Rogers rom and the HTC Sync software. Every other solution that I've heard of is a 2 step sync from your outlook to google and then google to your phone.

You'll probably need to install the PCSCII.apk, since most devs remove it from their roms. get that here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4740940&postcount=13

and then download the HTC sync software from htc.com.

Also, if you use a rogers rom, you'll only get contacts to sync, using a hero rom will get you both contacts and calendar.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
So the HTC sync software will only work with HTC Hero, am I right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdusen:
I'm using it on my G1 that's flashed with Mlign's 2.5.7 Hero Rom. I have not been able to make it work with non-hero roms. But, really I haven't tried too hard at that. I don't know what it needs from the Hero rom. I assume it's the HTC framework.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdusen:
Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head. When I was searching for this, I saw the google has an outlook plugin that will Sync the calendar. I also saw a different plugin that would sync Contacts. I'd start with googling outlook plugins.

good luck.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdusen:
Companionlink now has a Sync over USB direct with outlook. I was excited and thought that I had finally found my answer. then I read:

----------------------------

Data we sync

* Contacts sync to the built-in address book on the phone

* Calendar events sync to a custom calendar app

* Tasks sync to a custom tasks app

* Notes sync to a custom notes app

Our custom Calendar app shows events in Day view only. Month view and other scheduling options are coming. Recurring events and exceptions are supported. Adding and editing recurring events must be done on the PC.

Our custom Tasks and Notes apps support categories, sort, and search functionality.

----------------------------

Sigh, it doesn't use the built in calendar database, so it won't work with any calendar widget. So close, but still no cigar. Oh well, maybe they'll wise up and just be a sync provider.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bug666:
1. CompanionLink (http://www.companionlink.com/androidusb/index.html)

2. Mark/Space (http://www.markspace.com/products/android/missing-sync-android.html)

3. Various Google Cloud <-> Outlook solutions (Paid or free, Google them)

4. HTC Sync from some HTC-specific ROMS (e.g. Hero)

Take note that since Android has no built-in notes and tasks applications, nor a standardized database structure for them, those supporting and plan-to-support notes/tasks are/will be syncing to some custom notes/tasks apps.

The Companion's solution even syncs to a custom Calendar app.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdusen:
Yeah, that was the disappointing part. I don't think a custom calendar app is a good idea.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn541:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn541:

Oh, just remembered. exchange by touchdown is the other.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn541:
With roadsync, the only thing you wouldn't get is the notes. If you set a due date for a task, it will remind you through calendar. Sorry, like I said I don't use notes, so I can't help with that. Hope I was helpful otherwise:D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryant_16:
Oh okay, that was useful! Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janis:
I tried them all. The problem is there isn't an Android equivalent for everything in Outlook. If you want to sync tasks or notes, you have to pick a 3rd party app and work with that.

I decided not to sync notes. I'm using NoteEverything on G1 and can get to the text files using MS SyncToy whenever I mount my SD (any drive-syncing PC program would work). I was never too fond of the OUtlook notes functionality.

I use CompanionLink for Contacts and Calendar. It's the only one that was entirely stable as far as I could tell. All the others bugged out, created dups, and generally proved more of a headache than a bunch of manual data entry.

Tasks: I use Astrid, sync with RTM, and use MilkSync on my PocketPC to sync with RTM, and ActiveSync to get Outlook to sync with the PocketPC:

Outlook/PC <-AS-> OLMobile/PPC <-MilkSync-> RTM/cloud <-Astrid-> Astrid/G1

I loved TooDo with ToodleDo sync, but the dev disappeared, and it never got updated for Donut.

That's the only way I could find to reliably two-way sync tasks between Outlook and Android. (Not that it is the only way, but that's all I found).

Pretty convoluted, eh?

hey there. im gonna actually answer ur question instead of telling u to search. okay well there is really two things u can do, maybe three.

1) install cyanogen's ROM

2) hero ROM

3) donut optimized ROM

my first choice would be cyanogen. visit his site:

www.cyanogenmod.com

this rom is basically the most stable and fastest rom out there. its running the 1.6 donut firmware but it is highly optimized. this is what i am using now. second option is to install a hero rom. i would try either eugenes rom or maxisma's hero roms. they are the best and they offer the best support without being rude. check them out here:
