hi, how did you manage £30p/m, I got same deal for 35p/m.....:(

does it show O2 35 or 30 in you o2 billing?
[HD2 General] loomx:
Well thats annoying I just went to call and it says they are closed... yet on there web site it says they are open till 9
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
It says

Order Details

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

consumer:Bundle HAN HTC HD2 6HTHD2XN PM SKU,Online 30 24 Month - for Offline,Promo Unltd Web Bolt On

consumer:Delivery:DeliveryFree Next Day Delivery

DMAND> Yes it was released this morning, but I meant that the shops won't receive them until Monday!
[HD2 General] loomx:
Thats cause your on a 24 month contract, you save about £5 a month by going on 24 month over an 18 month contract.
[HD2 General] asdadbz:
So is it 24month instead of 18 month, isn't it?
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
Ah yes, you're absolutely correct, my mistake! It's 24 not 18 :D
[HD2 General] loomx:
I just got a really good deal IMO.

I was on the simplicity £20 contract (so the same 600 mins, 1000 texts and unlimited internet)

And they offered it to me...

Stay on the same 1 month rolling contract @ £20 a month and pay £277 for the phone.

I went for this, because 1 month contract and £277 works out brilliant for me! if another phone comes along... say a tegra device or WM7 in March :D then I can upgrade as normal when ever I want.
[HD2 General] asdadbz:
Mine understanding for deal is that you are acturally tied for 12month.

it is simplisity deal, but there is a minimum period of 12month......

please check
[HD2 General] loomx:
I did check,

His first description of it, was instead of going on a contract I can buy the phone outright from them at cost price.

I then asked, so if after 2 or 3 months I wanted to upgrade as normal to a different phone, I could? and he said yes.
[HD2 General] asdadbz:
That's pretty good!! Which number did you call?
[HD2 General] loomx:
202 from my mobile then when through to "I want to cancle my contract" department.
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
Just got offered the same price. £277.72. I am on a 18 month contract with 6 months to go. No new signup. Am tempted...
[HD2 General] loomx:
Definetly worth it, if it was pay and go/sim free at £277 everyone would snap it up in an instant, and that is effectively what it is!
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
I think so too. Will be here Monday. If I don't get on with it, eBay looks to be a good failsafe.

Apparently I am eligible for that price because my contract is over 12 months old.
[HD2 General] Fenriswold:
Where the heck!

Hey,

Just wondered which number you guys are phoning to get these offers...

I've been through the 08442020202 and been told its not yet launched, I've been through the O2 Open (Corporate discount) line and been told it HAS been launched but they don't have a price yet and I've tried 202 from my works phone (which is an O2 Corporate account) and the number doesn't connect.

Any suggestions for a desperate HD2 hunter?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] Schooleydoo:
202 for me. Not sure why its not working for you. Maybe the corporate account is with CPW/P4U etc and you have to go through them.

Anyway, I then pressed 2 for "upgrades, leaving O2", then 2 again for retentions. Spoke to "Vivian" who gave me the price, and then "Ryan" to place the order.
[HD2 General] ersinerk:
How about the ROM

Hi guys..

First message from a silent reader :)

[HD2 General] Rarelyamson:
Thanks guys was about to pay £500 for it or get tied in to an 18 month contract.

Now I'm staying on a rolling month simplicity 20 contract and have paid £277 for the phone.

What a RESULT! It arrives mon /tues!

1) programmed phone and text messaging. send that happy bithday or anniversary text to stay in good graces. call your probation officers automated phone system and stay out of hot water. automated wake up call in case you promised you would. be nice to stext with preprogrammed stuff or make programmed phone call and play a pre-recorded script.

2) continious loop video recorder similar to dvr 135 but one that actually works.

3) an ebook READER that actually reads ebooks to you.... this makes as much or more sense as voice to text. I'm sure coverting the various ebook formats to audio files would be a pain, but it would be nice. at least pdfs....

4)the music trainer note reader with audible tones... whats the latest and best available?

5) 3d drawing autocad IGES and similar.... not just reading... has that happened yet?

snapdragon or anything similar with lots of processor and copious ram?

sorry to any if you that would be bothered by this post. I'm not on the net often and was pleased to see the voice to text was recently extracted. Thanks for any help or input.

My most recent cyanogen mod kept freezing and rebooting, so I restored my most recent Nandroid backup. But it keeps displaying the ............ . It's been doing that for the past 10 or 15 minutes. A lot longer then all the other times I restored a backup. Should I stop it and try it again?

Edit***

Anyways, I got impatient and yanked the battery out. Put the battery back in and powered her up. It works... i think. i got all my apps and everything, and the version 4.2.5 of cyanogen is running. one of the processes crashed and it was just a black screen, but i could still display the notification dropdown menu. I rebooted, and then it asked me to enter in all my google information again. opening up cm updater crashes, and it appears that many other apps crash upon load. I think I can pull outta here by just doing a wipe.

Thanks

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] dom2114:
Hi there,

I've got the Hero with a fully functioning 'Fresh' ROM (0.4) on (not using Apps2sd).

My question is how to push additional notification tones and ringtones to the phone in the following folders respectively:

/system/media/audio/notifications

/system/media/audio/ringtones

The reason I want to do this is to try and remove the need to have the following folders present on the sdcard:

/media/audio/notifications

/media/audio/ringtones

When I try to push the files to the phone using ADB, I get a 'failed to copy:....permission denied' error

(FYI, the command I used was: adb push /XXX.wav /system/media/audio/notifications/XXX.wav

Prior to pushing, I did issue the following commands:

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 777 /system

chmod 777 /system/app

exit

exit

Tried to give as much detail as possible...appreciate any help!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Moguledyouth:
I'm a noob, just learning the ropes of Android, but something I learned today is that you will probably need to do a chmod 777 commands to those media directories in order to get r/w access to them, that's what I would try, I hope it helps, you will want to do a chmod for media, audio, ringtones and notifications I'm guessing.

It just displays the red text (M04, B04, R 1.65.28.25, G 25.98.40.07H, D 2.09) and nothing else happens. I tried to install a new version, but the NIKI is not detected anymore on the usb cable...

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
Perform a hard reset

To perform a hard reset on a device that is not responding to input or not booting to Windows, first remove the back cover of the device. Hold the "call" and "end call" keys on the front of the device and reset the device by sticking the stylus into the small hole to the left side of the USB port. The device will ask for confirmation. To confirm, press the "Enter" key on the keypad. On some devices you need to press the "Action" key instead of "Enter".

The device will reboot and be reset to factory settings.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] zefred69:
Thank you for your help. It happened exactly what you said, I had to confirm by pressing the ENTER key, but the NIKI stops exactly at the same moment.:confused:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] zefred69:
OK, I found the solution.

I did a hard reboot by pressing the start button + camera button + reset with stylus. It boots on the hard SPL and is recognized by PC via usb.

I installed the Light version of WM 6.5 23409 and until now, it seems to work perfectly
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] Rataplan:
You didn't make a hard reset but you just enterd the bootloader (you don't need the styles for that, just start-button and camera-button is ok). but I'm glad you've solved your problem. Have fun with your Niki

IE 9: First look at the new JS Engine

The IE team is busy working on the next version of the world's most popular browser. IE 8 is the most widely used browser on Windows. IE 9 is currently in the oven and the IE team is ready to talk about what they're working on. Here, JavaScript engine team members John Montgomery, Steve Lucco and Shanku Niyogi give us an early look at the new JS engine that will ship with IE 9. As of the interview, it is on par with the latest performance numbers of the latest Firefox beta and making progress in catching up to Chrome's latest V8. Again, this is a really early look at where the JS engine is and where it's going (and what they've done, architecturally, to speed up IE's JS engine).

[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
I've been digging around trying to find out the benefits and drawbacks of using swap on android devices, and the general consensus is 'not worth it since SD card is slow', and 'android is good at killing programs when necessary and starting them up where they left off'

Well, that got me thinking, since I have the MoDaCo ROM installed, and I'm utilizing Apps2SD - i've got all this free space on the (relatively) fast internal flash memory that's going unused.

It seems to me that a swap file (not partition) in /data would potentially be a boon to system stability for people using *lots* of applications simultaneously. My reasoning:

1) Internal memory is much faster than the SD card interface, even at class 6.

2) Using Apps2SD in combo with android's default mem management, if an app is auto-killed and needs to be restored into memory, it's reloading the apk from the SD card. Due to this behavior, there's little difference between using a swap partition on the card vs android reloading apps from the card and restoring state.

A swap partition or file on internal memory would avoid touching the SD card interface alltogether except when inititally starting up a new app. Storage space benefits of apps2sd is retained, while potentially speeding access to a sleeping app.

So, to test out the theory, I tried to create a 64mb swap file in /data/swap/swapfile, using the following steps (again, this is on the MoDaCo ROM):

./adb shell
# mkdir /data/swap
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swap/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
65536+0 records in
65536+0 records out
# mkswap /data/swap/swapfile
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 67104768 bytes
UUID=ca4e84af-2533-4072-8c66-7bf6f494dc34

Awesome so far. Now I hit a snag:

# swapon /data/swap/swapfile
swapon: /data/swap/swapfile: Invalid argument

It appears that the swapon function in BusyBox doesn't support swap files, unless I'm overlooking a step in here.

Has anyone tried this sort of thing before (on previous android phones, or other roms that is)? A quick google search showed lots of people doing this exact thing to enable swap files on their G1's, rooted with BusyBox installed, nad having it work just fine.

For reference, the MoDaCo ROM has this version of BusyBox:

BusyBox v1.15.2 (2009-10-08 09:47:18 BST) multi-call binary

Any hints or help would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
could you possibly use a symlink to trick it into thinking it's not a file, but a partition instead maybe?

EDIT: Just saw this thread too, don't know if you've seen it or not, but it seems like an app that could do this for you. Again, you'd have to trick it by using a symlink or something I bet, since you're wanting to do it on the internal memory.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=3329186#post3329186
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
symlink trickery didn't work for me unfortunately, but I think I have another approach.

swapon appears to be looking for a device node, so I'm going to try to trick the system into giving it one by mounting a fake disk image with loopback, and assigning it's 'partition' as swap space.

not really sure if android will let me do that sort of crazyness, or if loopback is even compiled into the fs drivers, but will find out shortly.

[edit]

So, it turned out to be far simpler than all that nonsense above. This kind of thing is why I love linux:

# * made 8mb swapfile using steps in previous post, to /data/swap/swapfile *

# losetup /dev/block/loop0 /data/swap/swapfile
# swapon /dev/block/loop0

magic!

# free
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 196824 191320 5504 0 24
Swap: 8184 0 8184
Total: 205008 191320 13688

Now, just need to figure out how to mount it up at boot and set a reasonable swappiness.
[Hero CDMA General] cicada:
Well, it was a good experiment. One that I *do not recommend* for others to try.

After getting the swap file setup and running for a few days, most things work really well - the SenseUI interface is always snappy, applications running in the foreground are generally very responsive and smooth.

Unfortunately, *anything* that gets swapped out of main memory will hang your phone for a good 30-40 seconds at least trying to read it back in to main mem (therefore swapping something else out simultaneously). Things like the web browser, the notification pulldown, the apps menu, just become completely unusable. And this was with 'swappiness' set down to 10 - so theoretically there should not have been excessive swapping.

Good to know we have these tools available in times of need, however I again do not recommend swap of any kind, SD card or otherwise.

Too bad we can't upgrade the RAM on these devices ;)

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Lappie2010:
Will they ever get it right?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
******Here's how to get around this temporarily!******

I know this isn't the best method, and some might frown upon it, but I couldn't get one of my purchased apps to show up at all in the market. This is because that publisher set copy protection to ON when publishing it. In writing the author, he said it was google's problem and that there was nothing he could do. All while he's enjoying a coffee courtesy of yours truly.

I thankfully had a nandroid backup of my modaco rom where the widget was installed, so I restored my backup (after making a backup of the fresh rom and doing the switcheroo in teh nandroid folder) and ran Astro to see if I could back it up, switch back, and restore. Much to my dismay, it said it was private. Damn.

So, what's a root user to do?

Thankfully, there's a way to restore the APK's, even if they're in a "private" status, meaning the developer doesn't want you to be able to back them up or copy the APK anywhere.

Since this info could be used to steal from developers, I'm not going to post how to do it. In my case, I cannot use an app I paid for. Not cool. Since I'm an honest person, I don't want to contribute to theft. PM me and we'll chat if necessary ;)

When I reinstalled the MoDaCo Rom the only app I could not get back showed up. It force closed but in my downloads in the market it is now there. It goes away if I restore to the non MoDaCo Rom. It is probl due to APP2SD, I guess it is on the SD cards ext2 partition.
