anybody can help me, please?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AltDimension:
Don't spam for answers please.

An RUU is not avaliable for Vodafone Branded Magic's. All updates are from Google and then sent to vodafone to be delivered over the air (OTA), HTC plays no part in creating updates for these devices.

If your search around I'm sure you will be able find Android 1.6 for your Vodafone Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iaio72:
sorry---:confused: but where is "my" spam?

thanks for information

i have the phone now for 2 weeks and searching for root stuff...

i was looking and looking and searching and i saw you can change your SPL

to a other one and the one that makes it a 32A phone and then you can change the with roms
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iaio72:
yes i know,but before to flash spl or rom, you must unlock/ or have to root at your htc.....this is the problem....:(

its very difficult with the perfect spl and donut 1.6 on the htc magic...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] timal:
iaio72 you must be trying to spoof everyone. I gave you details instructions on the board and in a PM on how to root, downgrade and even put an engineered spl on your phone, what is the deal here ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iaio72:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] byt3b0mb:
you just dont get it do you. quit posting garbage to the board - this thread needs to be locked MODS Please lock/trash this thread.

IAIO what you need to do is get the t-mobile Mytouch NBH and make a gold card - then you wont have the mainversion error - but dont ask how to make a gold card - SEARCH and READ and LEARN and quit spamming
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] iaio72:
im not spamming, i need just help for my phone.

i know the goldcard proceed, and please where i find the t-mobihe t-mobile Mytouch NBHl?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WinterKnights:
bit odd, however i followed the procedure in post #2 copied to sd card and rebooted with the volume button down blah blah.

it did the whole updating thing but when it rebooted it did everything normal, still says its 1.6, have i done something wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nickislauw:
Listen up. The Golcard method SUCKS. I made an goldcad and then try to downgrade and it still gives error: main version is older. You just cant root the magic from voda!!!

So dont say 'use goldcad method' because i made 5 tims a goldcard and it still wont update......

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] r3v3rb:
Me too, I have been trying for two days now - I have Four Micro SD cards - One Kingston 2gb, One Transcend 2gb, One Kingston 1gb and An unbranded 2gb. Not on of them works even after a so called successful GOLDCARD setup.

I have removed the 'Goldcard' and reinserted it into the PC and been able to write to it - then when trying to update I receive the 'Main Version is Older' error - prior to using the Goldcard i got the 'Incorrect Model ID' error !

Its driving me insane and appears the Vodafone Magic 32B on Donut are un-downgradable.

Has anyone with a Vodafone 32B been able to successfully downgrade from donut to cupcake on an unrooted device ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Wow... Have you guys even CONSIDERED checking out what main version you have and searching the forums for newer RUUs? I know I've stumbled accross two different repositories with RUUs for the Magic (both 32A and 32B), and at least one is bound to have a newer version than yours... It's not the goldcard that's the problem, it's the user.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] r3v3rb:
Always nice to receive a helpful 'hint' - how do I find out what 'main' I have installed.

When I enter fastboot I receive the following:

Which part of that gives me an indication of the RUU that I need to use to downgrade this phone ?

I may be a spaz user to you - but all I am trying to do is learn - sorry thats a crime...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
It's not a crime, but reading before asking is highly recommended. You can find out what your current version is by going to Settings > About Phone. It should be under "Build number".

There's a sticky with links to RUUs in this forum. Please only download the ones designed for your device - 32B, not A or MyTouch 3G 1.2.

Also, download flashrec and follow the unlockr tutorial, it'll get you a custom recovery image that'll allow you to install custom ROMs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] r3v3rb:

According to CyanogenMod I should downgrade the radio back to

RADIO-2_22_19_26I

This is what I had on the phone prior to the downgrade - is there a reason to downgrade or can I keep the newer version to use with CyanogenMod 5.0.7

Because in this hxxp://xdaforums.com//showpost.php?p=4314039&postcount=1 - thread on how to downgrade radio it also does a lot of other recovery stuff too that seems obsolete...

Any help greatly received :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] keinengel:
Radio 3.22.* is for 32A, but it will run on 32B too - but it might be slower. You should downgrade to radio 2.22, using Amon_RA's tutorial, but with updated recovery versions. Have your goldcard ready, you'll probably need it :D

Looking to get one for my car; main things I want are bt, mp3, and aux. Would appreciate some input especially from those who own this and a TP2.

Was thinking of getting this:

[General Accessories] brezuicab:
I purchased about a year ago this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/BLAUPUNKT-Hambu...r_Audio_In_Dash_Receivers?hash=item3358d76c24

I looked mainly at 3 things: subwoofer output, AUX IN, and USB connector. MP3 playback was a must-have :D

It also has Bluetooth and is playing nicely with my HTC Touch Pro2 and was working fine with my old Toshiba G500 smartphone too.

The sound is great on the BT-phone connection and altho my car is somewhat noisy and the MIC does NOT have a noise suppression function I was amased how well I can use it as an in-car hands free device!

This was a well spent $100 :)

Have fun!
[General Accessories] BigwaveMx:
1 year ago, I bought this Sony MEX-BT2500. Works really nice. I can make phone call (only to the last call made it in the phone), hang on and hang down, play music vía BT (works awesome with my HTC Pure and my old Ipaq 614c). Also include an aux 3.5 jack for any mp3 player. There is a MEX-BT5000 who is more expensive cause the lcd panel is much bigger and i think shows more information than BT2500. Take a look and decide.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jubeh:
Actually, if you're talking exclusively about the visual aspects, it's all handled by xml layouts. The java code is there to handle what interacting with the different visual elements will actually do (if anything).

Knowing Java helps, knowing xml helps, but I suggest you study android development.

Hey guys!

I just wrote a little OpenGL ES application for my HD2 (just renderings ome quads). And guess what: it runs MUCH slower than any other HTC device I had.

The framerate is < 1. Even the MS Device emulator runs faster! :mad:

How's that possible? I thought the HD2 was super fast (according to several benchmarks I saw).

Is there some scret registry hack? A magic driver?

WTF! This can't be true....
[HD2 General] jamcracker:
must be wm 6.5

IT must be wm 6.5 certainly. are all your others on 6.5 too?
[HD2 General] VanKurt:
No, they are WM 6.1.

So: does WM6.5 suck up all the computational power? I don't hope so ;)

Are there any tweaks neccessary to make OpenGL ES run smoothly under WM6.5?
[HD2 General] VanKurt:
Okay, just realized I posted to the totally wrong forum. Sorry!

Please close this one.
[HD2 General] hkaadan:
can i hv that App? need to try it on mine and will let u no...
[HD2 General] tibursio:
According to several posts on the application section it only seems to have drivers for OpenGL ES 2.0, did you write it in OpenGL ES 1.1? That might explain the slowness (which in my view is a big no-go... how could HTC do that to this device... omg).

You might aswell want to read this topic about improving the performance (NeoS2007 at the driver developing again):

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hcadiz:
What's up with these guys, HTC and the phone companies? What does it benefit them if they put perfect SPLs or things we can't root? They won't lose the non-techies as customers if they put out non-perfect SPLs. These guys don't care. Yet, they gain the business of the techies if they don't have perfect SPLs.

So what do they gain?Why do they do it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] :No-Frost::
2 things I think...

First, they fix bug's... The root might be considered a bug so they just fixed it...

Second... They deliver a product made by them, others companies made they're own version of android (gui, apps, etc)... So, having a perfect spl is the way to sell their own product without other people porting them up to other devices...

Well, thats just my thoughts
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
Basically, yep that's about it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
I would suggest it is mostly the carriers demanding this, especially when flashing firmware can leave you with a expensive brick. If it is too easy lots of semi-skilled users will try it and screw up their phone. Which they will then take back to the store and claim "it just died, I did not do anything"... leaving the store to either eat the cost or tell the user that they screwed up and bricked their phone and too bad, so sad, pissing off the customer.

Plus many/most/all (?) carriers are control freaks and the idea of users being allowed to load whatever apps and features on to their own equipment freaks them right out. They are ever so slowly coming kicking and screaming into the reality that smartphones are really portable computers and that this makes them commodity bit pipes but they certainly don't like the idea. This is why so many carriers are in love with the IPhone and its very rigidly controlled app store and lack of easy alternate methods of loading apps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paragnosta:
Hello folks,

in the new Android 2.0 there's a limit on Bluetooth: you can't enable DISCOVERABLE mode without passing through an Android dialogbox and only for a limited period of time (max 300 seconds): SHAME!!! This means that for DUN connections (or similar) the user should press YES every 300 secs (on Droid probably there's a bug, only 120 secs are allowed).

The problem could be found on the GIT at line 758: the application requires the WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission to run the setScanMode method, unfortunately

not available at user level

.

Solution> The easiest solution is changing WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to BLUETOOTH_ADMIN_PERM, as it should be.

Hope this could be fixed for homebrew roms.

Cheers

PS - I do my apologies for the double post.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outZider:
That doesn't even make sense. Android 1.5/1.6 only allows discoverable for a short amount of time as well, but once two devices are paired, neither device needs to be discoverable anymore -- they already know about each other.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paragnosta:
That's true, but you don't need to press YES into a ****ty dialogbox. If your application already have a proprietary dialogbox, then with Android 2.0 you have to press a button TWICE!!!

Finally, what if a user want to make a service ALWAYS available, without enabling discovery mode every 2 minutes???

Cheers
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genez81:
I agree with outZider.

You don't need to keep the device discoverable once you have paired it to your pc (for example) to establish a dialup connection.

You only need to ENABLE bluetooth on both devices.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bplay:
I dont know, if i understand something wrong, but i used pdanet with bluetooth yesterday. the connection was stable over more than an hour. i have a german milestone.

if its right, what was said here, that wouldnt be possible?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay652:
Like others said, I really don't see the issue. I'm pretty sure the limit on 1.6 is 120 seconds, anyway -- more than enough time to pair your devices.

Besides, I know very little about Bluetooth technology, but I'm sure that CONSTANTLY transmitting a Bluetooth signal in a "discoverable" way would kill the battery. I might be wrong, but I'm sure there's a reason behind the limit.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
its really a security issue. bluetooth isnt the most secure transmission method out.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidTeam5:
bluetooth discoverable mode

Hi,

I am doing an app that requires the android phone to be on discoverable mode for a long time. However, the public APIs I have looked at only allow me to have up to 300 seconds and my app cannot set the bluetooth to be on discoverable mode. I do not want the user to have to click "YES" each time the dialog comes up to make the phone discoverable. I saw that you suggest us to changed the WRITE_SECURE SETTINGS to BLUETOOTH_ADMIN_PERM but this would mean I have to obtain the private APIs and altering its codes, right? Has this problem ever been solved? Is there anyway around this problem?

Thank you.

[HD2 General] mobilebuddha:
I have a couple of problems with the contact list and the phone favorites portion of the Sense UI.

1) Are there any way to display First name then Last name in contact list? Everyone in my contacts have Last name then First name.

2) Also, if it's just a company name, when you add a contact to the "shortcuts" (the 3x3 boxes), it says "No Name". There must be a way to fix that.. right? I'd hate to go into all of my contacts that only have business names and fix it by putting the company name in the first name field. Especially considering that I'm syncing contacts with Google contacts and I would prefer to have each field be accurate.

3) Lastly, because most of my contacts do not have pictures, and the "shortcuts" will only display first name. I would for example have 5 Johns w/o any way of immediately knowing which John it is. Are there any workarounds for that?

If it's a configuration setting for some/all of these issues, could someone please point them out to me? I apologize in advance if it's a simple thing and I just couldn't find where the settings are.
[HD2 General] Hampshire PDA:
Allied to the points just raised - I would like to change my favourite contacts to display surname, not just the first name. Is there a workaround to achieve this please?
[HD2 General] mobilebuddha:
Bump. Are we the only 2 people that see these as issues? Or have you guys figured out some workarounds?
[HD2 General] mdalacu:
Count me in...i am shouting about this from my touch pro 2 time ... i have put a shortcut to contacts in main tab, and set it to view them filtered by company name, it helps a little.
[HD2 General] scrabble8:
To get first name first :) =

Find a contact, edit the contact... scroll all the way down to the bottom, and push the "more" button. Change the second "name choice" - I cant remember what exactly its named in english. But is should be the choice of how to vies the contact. In this form you can choose first og last name.

I have'nt figured out how to do/if its possible to mass change this. I have onlyd found one by one solution :)

Hope it was helpfull
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
Company logo as the contact picture perhaps? I've done that myself, far better than a blank box anyway.

Similar thing with your collection of Johns.
[HD2 General] ian_uk1975:
I think what you're trying to say is change the 'File as' to First name, Last name. :)

Perhaps there's a registry hack to change the default behaviour of this field?
[HD2 General] weepatc:
ContactFix

[HD2 General] EternalMovement:
Could you pm me with the info to please :)
[HD2 General] mobilebuddha:
I'm sorry to dig up an old thread of my own, but I still have an issue un-resolved from the ContactFix solution. The ContactFix solution does provide the sorting fix. However, in the Sense UI's "shortcuts" for the People, I can still only have a first name.

So if you've got 5-6 Johns and you don't have a picture for them, then you are pretty much screwed - you can't really tell which is which unless you have memorized exactly where on the shortcut list you've placed them.

HTC, could you please fix this? I really don't understand how something as basic as this was missed in QA!
[HD2 General] pedmond:
I believe the shortcuts are meant to be used with a photo. There's no room there to put labels with first and lastname. So unless you name them John1, John2 etc, I don't think there's a solution.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
30 seconds in MS paint should give you an image with Faceless John's full name typed on it. It's a reasonable workaround for those shadowy figures with no visible appearance.

Not perfect, but it's something.
[HD2 General] SimonW500:
Further to the earlier raised issue of contacts defaulting to File As.. Last Name, First Name.

I have between 450 - 500 contacts in Outlook and sync'd to my HD2 via Exchange Server. Works well. Nearly all of the time my contacts are added/edited on my laptop and I love the fact they are automatically 'there' on my phone.

I also like the HTC front-end interface for the Contacts bit of Windows Mobile 6.5, making it easier (finger friendly) to add contacts. However this interface neither gives you the option to default to File As.. First Name, Last Name nor let you change it on entry/edit. Instead you have to then go into the native WM6.5 Contacts bit and change it there. A bit of a pain and oversight in my opinion.

Ideally there'd be a way to set a default? Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance..
[HD2 General] mobilebuddha:
I'm sorry, but that's not a reasonable request from my point of view. The system should at least give you the option.

To be honest, I really think you've used to mediocre OS for too long. I did not just spend $800 so I can use MS Paint to paint a faceless John full name typed on it. If I spent $50, I might be okay with that, but not when I spend $800.
[HD2 General] mobilebuddha:
Actually, I have a question: Would a custom ROM for HD2 be able to fix this? I'm just asking about the possibility, not whether we can do it right now or not. I know that the phone is so new that we don't have custom ROMs yet.

But would it be possible for a custom cooked ROM alleviate issues like this?
