On Sense 2.1, one of the 2 did it for me, I set Home.WallpaperMode and just WallpaperMode to 2, but only after I set the homebackgroundpath to some dummy value, in my case to x, as opposed to being empty, did it appear to work... I think that made the difference

You want to look at Kaiser Tweak:

Another option could be GB Soft Tweak:

Never had a problem with Kaiser connecting without me wanting it to !

I use GB Soft Tweak as I like the option of instant time-out disconnect (something those useless Tw*ts at WM HQ should of thought of by now !)

Check your email account settings & any other app that uses connection.

[General Questions and Answers] jhazard112:
I have an HTC touch one of the originals. 128MB ram. This phone is from alltel before they were bought. Anyways I have a few questions. First is, is there an android software to replace the windows mobile software? If not, is there something I can or some sort of OS to replace the windows mobile? Third, is there anyway that I can download windows mobile software if the new software is not to my liking? I know I am asking alot, but i am new to "cracking" a phone if you will and I am trying to learn. I am trying to rid my life of windows as much as possible. Any help is much appreciated. I thank anyone that can and is willing to help.
[General Questions and Answers] orb3000:
Welcome aboard,

I don´t think it´s possible to install Android, but you can upgrade your WM version to the newest 6.5 or 6.5.1 and install many apps.

Instructions here:

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

Also you can visit marketplace section and perhaps do a trade for an Android device.

Good luck,

I flashed back to Stock Sprint from the RUU and then let the phone update to the MR update. I rooted and then did the pushed the recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img to the SD card and flashed it (at least I think so, it happened really fast). When I did "reboot recovery" it just powered down the phone and no reboot. In fact, I had to pull the battery to get it to boot normally. If I try to boot to recovery by holding the home key I just get stuck at the HTC splash screen.

Any help is appreciated.
[Hero CDMA General] aaron130:
I went through this SAME THING for 3 days when I first rooted my hero and it was driving me nuts! You may have a corrupt recovery img or just a bad root. I would download the recovery img again, and flash the Sprint RUU AGAIN and then root again. Basically start from scratch again . That is what worked for me. Every time I tried rebooting and getting to that screen where u can do a nandroid backup and flash from sd I could not for the life of me get to that screen, It would just power off and reboot and stay on the HTC screen. So try starting ALL OVER again I bet that it will work.
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
Thanks for the advice. I'm going to redownload everything and reflash with the RUU, reroot, and try the recovery image stuff again.

It's been a frustrating day.
[Hero CDMA General] aaron130:
I feel your pain man, I went through it for 3 days before someone told me to flash the Stock Sprint RUU. And at the time I didnt even know there was a stock sprint ruu,lol.
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
OK, redid RUU, rerooted, and reflashed recovery and now it's working.

Now I can go to bed!:D

BTW, thanks aaron130 for your moral support.
[Hero CDMA General] aaron130:
No problem. Glad you got it working!
[Hero CDMA General] Spunkzz:
i'm having a bit of trouble with this as well i cant flash back to the stock sprint firmware with the RUU exe file. it times out on waiting for bootloader and the phone will never reset. has anyone encountered this? i downloaded the RUU file three times and and tried two different computers. i'm just trying to get back to the stock ROM. someone help please?
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Yes, Spunkzz. Download and install HTC Sync.
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Try doing it from fastboot. (Off the top of my head) With the phone powered off: hold volume down and then hit the power button. It should say if you want fastboot to hit volume up... press volume up. See if it will flash RUU that way. If not then check your device manager and see if it shows you are missing a driver for your phone.
[Hero CDMA General] arashed31:
I saw a thread about this somewhere. I think it was the Sprint Community forums. Are you on Windows 7? If you are, you'll have to manually download and install the Vista drivers for the phone.

I'll find you a link to them if this is your problem.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
I'm using Win7 and all I had to do was install HTC Sync.
[Hero CDMA General] arashed31:
Really? I have Win7 x64 and it wouldn't install any drivers. The program installed but it would never recognize my phone and neither did the RUU. I had to download the Vista x64 drivers from somewhere and then the HTC Sync program and the RUU would work.

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/

Here's what I did:

I got the 2.0.8 version off the site.

Installed in normally and let it error with a long dialoge that said something about not installing drivers.

Downloaded the drivers from the site and put them in the HTC Driver folder

Used device manager to manually install the drivers for "Android Device"

And it worked!!
[Hero CDMA General] Spunkzz:
as an update. i figured it out. i was using Fresh Rom 0.5d and for some reason that wasnt letting me run RUU exe file to get it back to the stock rom. i flashed modacos rom and then used the RUU and it worked fine. i'm now back to the stock rom. for some reason after a day something keeps my phone awake. i've been tryign to figure it out but cant seem to narrow it down.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
Ah, Win7 x64 and x32 are going to be different beasts when it comes to drivers. Great info for those running x64 though, thanks.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nuron:
Hmm it would have been better to use a rail of some kind over this clear sticker that we got, case in point:

My palm catches the film and lifts it(it's protruding a little bit off the phone's edge), letting in dirt and other grime. I'm thinking of cutting an old piece of my Bodyguardz protector into thin strips as a replacement since my phone looks like it has saran wrap on it :o. Is this happening to any of you guys?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
This should be posted on accesories:)

Here happening the same, that slider film will eventually leaving it´s place:(

Hope members came with a good option:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nuron:
I didn't think they made an accessory for this problem haha.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Nagrom Nniuq:
LOL! That film is supposed to come off right away. It's the same protective stuff as they put on the screen and the camera to keep it from scratching during shipping and handling.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Yeah I know, but I have seen TP2 friends without that film and a thin line is marked on the housing...

As we have screen protectors, there must be something like slider film protector:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nuron:
Yeah, I don't think it's supposed to be taken off--these slider devices all have some kind of guard against abrasion. My protector has sliding marks on it already that would have been on the paint if it weren't for the film sheets.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Inquisitor5:
It's just a factory film, the same one you see on the underside of the screen half, and the screen itself.

You're supposed to take it off, it was never designed for some kind of protection
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KevinACrider:
We know it wasn't designed to stay there but it's already a proven fact that when it is removed your casing will eventually have small scratches on both sides of the keyboard. These guys are saying to keep it on and it will protect the casing itself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Okay, so which is it? Supposed to be removed or stay? I keep rubbing mine back down to make it restick, as it keeps wanting to peel up a bit.

The stuff on the back of the screen I've heard several times keeps the keys from getting scratched, but here I'm not sure what could happen.. Scratching the back of the screen portion is a non issue but I wouldn't want the sides of the keyboard scratched.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Inquisitor5:
I wouldn't exactly say it's "proven fact", it's merely a problem that a few have said. If we were to post a poll I'm sure the problem isn't as widespread as you believe it is (even then that poll would be inflated because people only complain, they never say "it works as intended")

I think it has to do with how you're sliding it closed. I slide it close either one-handed by bringing my fingers towards my lower palm, or two handed with my thumbs and index fingers on each corner on each corner of the phone. Both ways I slide it I can see that the top half never makes contact with the bottom (there's an insignificant, but purposeful gap).

I could see if people slide it closed by applying pressure to the upper half, such as pushing your thumb on the screen or frame or zoom bar and dragging it over, then it could cause scrape marks on the phone.

I say protective films are silly. Especially the factor ones, my father kept the factory film on the screen of his old Treo and it did nothing but attract dirt underneath it. On a related note I never use screen protectors either, and yet all my phones I've ever owned have never suffered a scratch. I understand though that I may be more "gingerly" about handling my phone, but I think as long as you're treating the phone like the device it is then you won't see these problems.

Long story short, if you're developing scratches on your keyboard rethink how you're sliding the phone.

Now that's just silly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
There's at least one reference to this, scratches on the sides.. and I've read about the keys getting scratched too but I didn't find it in a 30s search.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] monomer888:
Actually you did! The first few posts in the thread you linked to talks about keyboard key scratches. :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Inquisitor5:
Well I definately notice a pattern, it seems the T-Mobile version suffers from these issues the most, so perhaps it is too tight.

I still think the primary issue is how you close or open the device, I can't imagine such severe scratching to occur unless you are actually pushing the halfs together and MAKING them rub. I mean you would feel it scraping if it were to do that.

Since I have a Tilt 2 I can't say for the T-mobile kind, I can only wonder which variant of the TP2 is closet to the original design.

Now I still say that keyboard film wouldn't help this matter, because if it's enough to scratch the plastic, it's just going to demolish whatever you put in there, I mean it's hard to believe there is room for the film in the first place if these scratchs are occuring.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Heh, read fail. :( But hey, look, keyboard scratching, see? Ahem.

As for the overall "rough use is the only explanation" I'd say people who use the hardware keyboard a LOT could be very careful and still cause wear and tear in this area regardless how careful they are. Sure, you could open the phone in bad ways, personally I always open it holding the phone with both hands and push the screen up with my thumbs. I SOMETIMES hold the back of the phone and slide the screen with my other hand, but not that often.

And honestly I don't use my hardware keyboard that much as I'm not a big texter and I use TouchPal, but the hardware keyboard was a must-have for those times I want it. I can bang out a quick message in Touchpal pretty fast, but if I'm using ssh or typing a longish email, there's no substitute.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jinx1:
design or not

the clear film left and right of the key board may have not been intended to provide protection against abrasions caused when sliding the screen up and down but that is exactly what it does. on my tp2 the left side has been caught and pulled away from the kb last night and i now plan to cut old screen protectors to replace both sides. if anyone has removed the films can you please post the results?

Hey guys posted this over at PPC as well and hope someone can shed some more light on this.

Here is the post:

Hope someone can help me out. I flashed Mighty and also Energy ROMs but can't seem to get the data to work on this phone.

I have already tried to do the following:

##778 settings in the back end are all done properly. Done this for TP1 several times.

Deleted these from the registry on phone:

HKLM/Services/**File was either HTC GUardian or CMGuardian..don't remember since I deleted..

HKLM/Software/HTC/CM_Guardian_Services**Everything that was in this folder

I did the right data settings under connections for Metropcs...done this for TP1 many times.

The proxy settings stick no problem with the wap.metropcs.net:3128, except for the Secure which is wap.metropcs.net:443

The problem is when you try and access the internet, you can see the arrows for a couple seconds, then they disappear and then the login screen shows up again with Username and password.

The username is: 10digit number@mymetropcs.com as usual

PW: metropcs

Hit save or finish and usually you are good to go!!!

Everytime I try and access data that pop up screen shows up. What other Stock Sprint files are there that are preventing me from using Metropcs settings?

Any help would be great: been trying to get this working for a week now. I decided to finally put a post to see if I can get the PROS to help.

Thanks in advance.

did u set it to use the connection u created in the advanced config tab ?

1: Check your Windows\startup folder for "HTC_CM_Guardian.lnk", which is a shortcut to Windows\HTC_CM_Guardian.exe. If the shortcut exists delete it. If not then you probably have a newer Sprint ROM which doesn't have the shortcut to launch that application. It is still launching it in some other way however and I have not been able to figure it out from searching forums and the web. The general consensus is to replace the file with a dummy file that I've attached (extract from the zip). Download the attached file and replace "Windows\HTC_CM_Guardian.exe" with the dummy file which will prevent it from running.

NOTE: This file is what resets your Sprint connection to its default settings despite editing these settings. Disabling this file by deleting or replacing it is critical. You may need to use a program such as Resco File Explorer or another File Explorer utility to overwrite/delete/rename Read-Only or ROM files.

2: Rename the following files and folders:

Windows\iota.exe ---> windows\iotaOLD.exe

Windows\iotaconf.txt ---> windows\iotaconfgOLD.txt

Program Files\IOTA ---> Program Files\IOTAOLD

NOTE: renaming the IOTA folder is probably all that is needed however I found the files as well and renamed them for good measure and haven't had a problem.

3: Open your phone and enter ##778#, select "EDIT" and enter your unlock code.

4: Set the following values:

M.IP Settings:

MIP_MODE = Simple IP Only

M.IP Default Profile:

NAI = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com

Home Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)

Primary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)

Secondary HA Address = 0.0.0.0 (just delete the values and save)

Security:

HDR AN AUTH User Id = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com

PPP USER ID = yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com

PPP PASSWORD = metropcs

5: Goto Connections and delete any existing connections and setup a new one using the following settings:

Number to dail = #777

Username: yourtendigitphonenumber@mymetropcs.com

Password: metropcs

Domain: (Leave Blank)

Select Proxy Settings and enter the following values:

wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (http)

wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (wap)

wap.metropcs.net port:443 (secure wap)

wap.metropcs.net port:3128 (socks)

6: Back in the "Connections" screen where you have two tabs at the bottom of the screen of "Tasks" and "Advanced", go to Advanced, click on "Select Networks" and select the name of the connection you just setup.

Example if you leave as Sprint then choose that one as your internet connection and do it for both settings.

TMoNews is reporting that they've received word that T-Mo will stop allowing tethering of devices. It hasn't been officially announced, but they received an anonymous tip today about it.

Do any of the U.S. carrier allow it?
[G1 General] uansari1:
How will they know if we're tethering? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see this impacting any of us who are rooted.
[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
If it hasn't been officially announced, and just from a so called "anonymous" source, I wouldnt worry about it.
[G1 General] blueheeler:
Yeah, hopefully it's just a rumor. Who knows?

We'll find out soon enough I guess.
[G1 General] blueheeler:
Not really sure if this applies or not, but ...

http://blogs.zdnet.com/projectfailures/?p=1078
[G1 General] jashsu:
Deep packet inspection can see the user agent in http headers. That's the quickest and most direct tipoff. Performing UA spoofing should be enough to bypass.

It does not apply at all, because apps allowing tethering over 2G/3G were removed from the Market a while ago. The "killswitch" cannot remove applications not installed by the Android Market (e.g. preloaded in a "ROM" or installed from sdcard, etc).
[G1 General] kusotare:
You know the kind of resources they would have to apply to checking each user running an android device to see if they're tethering? There have been hundreds of thousands of android devices sold on TMO alone, and even if 25% of those are rooted, thats a hell of a lot of people to monitor 24/7.
[G1 General] jashsu:
I doubt they care if a subscriber using 100MB/month (or even 1GB/month) is tethering. But for those consistently reaching the 10GB cap and then going over on EDGE... It's more likely they'll flag that account for packet inspection. All this is just speculation of course.

That said, the dedicated hardware to perform packet inspection exists and doing it for just the traffic generated by mobile devices is trivial. It's often referred to as "traffic shaping" hardware.

BTW root is not strictly required for tethering. PdaNET can perform tethering in userspace.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
User agent means nothing and can't be used as a tipoff. Anybody can run a browser on their phone that has a custom user agent -- and this is actually quite LIKELY for a couple of reasons; 1) there are already several browsers with different user agents, 2) in order to access the "normal" pages, sometimes it is necessary to set a user agent like regular firefox, 3) some websites are intentionally hostile to non-MS browsers and filter browsers by user agent (even if other browsers will work perfectly/better).

Also, due to the nature of the device, other kinds of deep packet inspection can NOT be used to distinguish the network traffic as being due to tethering. Really, this is a regular (albeit very small) computer that can run all kinds of neat stuff.
[G1 General] cal3thousand:
All very good points by lbcoder and Jashu

I agree here. And we need to understand that everything is cost vs. return driven.

Will the costs to implement any particular detection/prevention system go beyond the returns gained (actual or projected)?

What does TMO see as the impact of tether users? That's the real question. I can see that they want to eliminate the gross offenders that are trying to use tether as their primary internet connection rather than those of us using it for convenience.

Jashu has a good point, 1GB users will not likely see any action by TMO. I feel less than top 5 percent users or so will probably be looked at. To look at a larger population would be to costly. So, think about it if you fit in the top 3%, you might be a target for action.
