While it doesn't help you any, running baksmali on the app reveals that it does push notifications under Eclair. Too bad it's not going to be any help for you or me for a while.
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
Google Voice has push notifications under Eclair?

Sweet!
[G1 Android Development] GuestK0050:
Any chance you could elaborate on this a bit? Gmail push notificaqtions arrive over XMPP, I erote a basic client to test this. Are google voice notifications also being pused over the XMPP service now as well? If so it wouldn't be hard to tap into this. Of course if we all get eclair eventually, It might be a wasted effort but it still interest me.

[G1 Android Development] Evervoid:
Alright, I see. Is there any way to get a Gizmo5 account still? If not, is there another service which does the same thing?
[G1 Android Development] Takenover83:
This sounds interesting. Is there a different Google Voice for Enclair or something?

I have the same 400 text and 1800 minutes data plan and I am over 200 text this month.. I am trying to figure out a way also to work google voice into getting free text.. I can send them for free but has anyone figured out how to receive them for free. They automatically send to your phone using google voice. Is their anyway around this that someone has figured out yet? Thanks a lot guys, maybe somehow turning sms notifications off, but I dont think that stops it from costing you a text. Anyways any help would be great guys.
[G1 Android Development] harpreet1988:
You need to change settings in google voice from your computer not to forward the texts to your mobile number. And you have to "refresh" the google voice app on your phone to receive the texts.
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
I think google took ovr gizmo5 and they shut the site dwn for new members but I think it will be back up again after they do what they need to...there is other services but I dnt kno the settings for them..it might be a thread on here for other voip providers.
[G1 Android Development] cashless:
I wanna test this out, but I have a couple of clarification questions...

What app am I dialing out of? Google voice? GV Dialer? Or is there a way I can set my regular dialer's outbound calls to route through sipdroid > GV?
[G1 Android Development] pReTTyUnG1:
I think there is an option to choose for it to be thru ur phone dialer on sipdroid but I'm not sure if it will use ur regular minutes if u do hav a minute plan..better to dial thru google voice or u can set it to phone dialer on sipdroid and see if it takes away frm ur plan minutes if u wanna giv it a shot...I hav my all calls thru google voice box chkd in the gv app
[Touch HD General] woody21:
im struggling to find information about how i can set up my orange branded HD with stock rom on any other network.

i have unlocked the phone using olipros unlocking service.

i have a 3UK sim at the moment and when i put it in it gets signal, i can make and receive calls but cant get internet which is the main thing i want to use this network for, i havent yet tried text and dont use mms.

i get a notification telling me network settings are not in the database and i have no idea what the settings for this network are and cant find them on three.co.uk and the setup wizard on there does not support my phone.

i would rather not change the stock rom as theres too many to choose from and i dont se the phone for much anyhow. If theres a rom that has all the settings already for most uk networks then i may consider it.

any advice would be helpfull as at the moment its useless having an unlocked phone as im still stck with orange and the rubbish signal and only 3g speeds in my area.:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
Yesterday i bought a HTC Hero (my first one). When i turned it on and toke a good look at the starting screen (the one that says Hero, and HTC), i found a white pixel, probably dead or something. I went back to the store to get a new phone. This was not a problem at all and i got a new Hero. Now again, when i turned on the phone and toke a good look at the black screen, i also found 2 pixels with a other wierd problem:

The pixels also turned out white when i looked at them in a specifica angle. Just to be clear, i am watching on a black screen (starting screen). If you look at the screen and not in a specific angle i cant spot the pixels directly, but when i tilt over the phone slightly they show up and are 2 little white dots.

After i found out i downloaded the Detect Dead Pixel app. This app can create a black screen, the same screen as the home screen. When i use this app to spot the pixels again they are way less visible than on the home screen... I can spot 1 of them a little bit if i look at the screen in a certain angle and i can see a little dot, but i cant see them that good as on the home screen. They are not visible on other colors, only black.

I really dont know what to do with the phone now ... does anyone know what this is? im a bit concerned. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
After a bit more research on my phone i firugred that the dots really arent that visible. Maybe its just dust under the screen? When i put on a black screen using some kind of Android app i can not spot them. If the pixel is lazy or dead it should be clearly visible on a black screen right? for the lazy one then.

Anyway, i spotted a other problem on a black screen:

A brighter spot on the top part of the screen (like someone is pressing on it a little bit). Is this a problem ? im deciding if i should return the phone again..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulrgod:
Well its entirely upto you mate - i dont know what contract you've taken out but you may have that phone for 2 years. If your not entirely happy with it i'd take it back while you still can.

Issues with the screens rarely correct themselves.

My first Hero had around 10 dead pixels and i got it replaced as i wasn't happy with it. I now have one with a perfect screen and i'm really happy with it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
Well i just returned to the store and got another phone. This is the 3th one, and it still has problems, even more then the previous ones ....

On the boot screen there are about 10 very very tiny white wierd points visible ... im getting a bit frustrated here. What is this with all the screen problems ? :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
looks like they got a bad batch in your shop... have you considered powering up the phone while you are still in the store? might save you same time and way...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
I have done that, but as i said, its only really visible in a dark room with screen brightness on 100%. I have checked the phone in the store and it just wasnt visible. When i checked the screen in a complete dark room i spotted the little things again. Looks more like dust to me =\
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00bje:
If your brightness is 100% you should see that one single pixel immediately.

Try making an image in paint (480*320) with a black background and a single white pixel. Open that image on your phone. The dead/lazy pixel should be just as bright as the one you drew.

Also the brighter spot is normal. It's called "backlight bleeding". Every lcd screen has this 'problem'.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
They are not clearly visible, i think they are smaller then pixels, but they are countable on the bootup screen. When i tilt the screen them seem to change color (might just be dust). Green etc. I dont know what to think of it, come on. A wrong batch shouldn't be the problem if its dust, then its just a assamblation error. But 3 in a row?

I'm getting a bit pissed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00bje:
It's dust or a fingerprint blocking a very small subpixel. Can't you just wipe it off? But I suspect very tiny scratches.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
idk whether this is possible, but it might be dead subpixels. that would explain why they are smaller than a full pixel...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
Does anyone know if that is possible? it sounds like a good explaination. Dead sub pixels could be the problem. They are smaller then pixels, but beg enough to be counted (i can count over 13). Little white dots on a 100% brightness black screen.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luminus:
It must be dust, its a common question among hero owners. Most of the time the things they see is dust. It would be crazy if all new hero's have up to 10 or 13 dead pixels.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipje:
Ok well, here's what happened next:

I returned my phone again, god my cash back, bought a new one at a other store, SAME problem. Swapped it for a new one again, same problem!

Got my money back and i completely changed my mind of buying a Hero.

It is not dust. Its a perfect white dot, and definately some kind of pixel issue.

To bad..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n00bje:
Are you sure you're not being pixel-paranoid?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorRVL:
When reading all of this it sounds mostly like small dust particles under the screen. And looking at the number of phones you have tried, chances are you also got one with a real dead pixel (hot pixel, always on).

But I also think you are obsessed about it. My phone also have one dust thingy somewhere which I found just like you did (pixel tester, black screen). Smaller than pixel and less bright though.

I never notice the thing under normal use, unless I really go searching for it with a black background.

So you might make it bigger than it really is and miss out on a really nice phone.

Then again, we all have our own quality standards and its good yours is a high one! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azr6:
I have had a tiny dead pizel since I bought my phone. Only really see it on the bootscreen.

I was always more bother by the light you can see coming from under the keys at the bottom and near where the lcd meets the keys.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TobenderZephyr:
I also have 3 dead pixels but they aren't that irritating.

I also discovered them when booting up the phone, but for me, they are sea blue (all three)

Maybe it is 2nd hand stuff HTC uses on their phones?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilive27:
i have about 7 or 8 dead pixels too. it doesn't bother me too much anymore... only notice it in a completly dark room on the boot up screen... probably a common problem with the lcd screen the hero uses
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E2K:
All Hero's have this, or will have it inevitably:

The screen does not connect fully; there is a rubber-border between the glass and the metal frame surrounding the screen.

Look from the right angle, and you can see that there is a small 1/10th mm opening. Dust will come through here, and it will get on the screen.

HTC will wipe it off free of charge of course.

It is NOT a dead pixel; these can be seen from any angle, although the color changes a little but because of the viewing angle.

Call HTC and say you have dust under your screen, they will fix it for you, free of charge.

Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a fix for this? When I enter in my exchange account information and click to make sure the password is saved, I often have to reenter the password at times when I don't have reception and the phone isn't connected with the exchange server. Is there some hack where I can make it not request the password at these times?
[General Questions and Answers] unitea:
does anyone know of a finger friendly app that lets your record your progress in the gym? and i am not talking about for cardio such as running, or swimming, or the eliptical machine. i am talking about something that will allow you to add your own free weight exercises and enter your sets and repititions, and the amount of weight. maybe have the ability to export to an excel spreadsheet on a PC.

one can always purchase MySport Trainer, which is actually pretty nice. it is pretty extensive, and it is really the only app that i have found that does this. however it is not even close to being finger friendly.

so like i said, does anyone know of something else? if not, is anyone willing to take on a project like this?

[HD2 General] Archer:
Hi.

I suddenly can't log in to youtube in "data services" settings.

This worked fine, out of the box, as did twitter and facebook, but after installing Opera 10 earlier I did a hard reset, as the new Opera shagged Opera 9.7 (it wouldn't recognise opera:config as a url, and pinch-to-zoom stopped working).

Since the reset, I've got twitter and facebook working okay, but now youtube won't log in. Nothing has changed on my account and I've checked that I can log in using the browser. It just appears to be this one place that fails.

Incidentally, I get the same result with all available connection types (Wi-fi, 2G & 3G).

Can anyone give any advice? The other similar threads don't give any suggestions as to what could be wrong here, since it was working prior to the reset.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Well, it worked this morning.

The only thing I can guess is that there was a problem with youtube last night.

Greetings,

I have a shiny new Verizon TP2 running an Energy ROM. I cannot seem to find an app that will keep the screen on during calls. All of the previous tools I used on my Fuze do not seem to work.

Does anyone know how to keep the backlight on during calls?

Thanks,

Doug M.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ohyeahar:
Is this problem specific to your ROM? All the ROMs I've used keeps the screen on during calls. The screen only goes off if the power button is pressed or the proximity sensor kicks in. If this is also the case for you, then I guess what you're asking is to disable the proximity sensor?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dwmackay:
It must have been a bad flash. I refalshed and now it works as expected.

Thanks for the reply.

I know how to root using goldcard in case of a perfect spl and how to do it with out goldcard in case you don't need it...

My question has to be for a perfect spl rooting subject...

I have noticed that the only way to root a perfect spl is using the goldcard method... But, is anybody working or looking a way to get root in the perfect spl with out the goldcard method???

And in another way, how can it be installed a RUU rom (official rom) using a goldcard???

I've flashed some magics using the goldcard method, but in my country (Chile) if I flash a magic using the goldcard method, the magics from Chile loose the internet mobile connectivity (3g, edge, hsdpa, etc), so this makes unusable the goldcard method to be able to change the rom...

I hope somebody can give me a answer or another method to install roms without the use of the godlcard or the sappimg.nh...

Thanks in advance...

I'm guessing that if you install it, you would lose root. Is that correct?

Not likely. Expect that whenever they have a release for android 2.0, but this is only supposed to address the known bugs caused by HTC's software.
[Hero CDMA General] N0J:

[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
This is supposedly the one that will fix the messaging app and a few other minor things. Not a full fix but not 2.0 either.
[Hero CDMA General] 702DROID:
so we (rooted ones) can go ahead and install this when its ready and it wont affect our root access?
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
Honestly, we won't know if it actually fixes the root vulnerability or not until it's out.

i hope not as of last night the only internet acces i have now if from my hero wifi tether lol
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Just an FYI from what I've read (in how HTC and Sprint have worded it) it seems that this will be an automatic update that will get pushed to your phone.

There is actually service that runs in the background at all times on our phone called Sprint Updater. Also /system/app/Sprint_App_Updater.apk.

So other than killing those I don't know that you will be able to prevent this update from even coming through. I still don't believe it will affect root status but truly we won't know.

You will need to go back to stock rom, then do it.. download update. Once completed just root it back
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
FYI, My Gutted rom does not have the sprint_app_updater.apk app so you should be safe with my rom. Also, this means you can't update until someone dumps it and we make a new rom with it.
