perfect thanks a lot!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheLastOne:
Does anyone else have trouble with their Telus HTC Hero getting the complete wrong location (or being completely unable to determine a location)? This is with GPS off using Google Location Services.

In Oshawa, it can't find my location, in Woodbridge is thinks I'm in Espoo, Finland, and in North York it thought I was in Georgetown, Guyana. Driving on the 407 it thought I was in Malaysia. Sometimes the phone gets the location correct in these areas, too, but most of the time the location is either unavailable or wrong. If GPS is on it all works perfectly.

Calling Telus results in them telling me they've never heard of this problem before (also that I'm their first call about the HTC Hero, lol). Calling HTC resulted in them telling me that this was expected as the Telus network was new and Google was still working on their location services database with the new networks here.

Therefore, I'm asking to see if anyone else has a similar issue (especially in the same general area) and if not, what could possibly me wrong on my end.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] d5grvty:
Yup, same problem here on the west coast. According to the phone I am a well traveled man, from Vancouver to some where in Croatia, to Finland, and last night Dublin. Maybe my phone want to go out and see the world?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stoked:
Yeah same here. I was in some weird places apparently and actually right now I'm in Tanjong Karang. Last night my timezone changed as well, not sure why. It should have been syncing to the network, unchecking/checking the sync to network fixed it though.

OT: Do you guys ever have your browser give an apache error? Yet all other apps continue to work? I have this fairly often and I have to turn off the radio competely and turn it back on to fix it. Really annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheLastOne:
Yeah I get the apache error too. It seems to be the homepage of the browser.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
Mine works fine usually on the Rogers network - but they've had the iPhone for a while which uses network locational services as well so I guess they've got most of the glitches out. The worst I've had is when it just says "current city" but the temperature reporting looks fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] scdoyle:
Mine (on Rogers) works fine in Alberta - never had a wrong location.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TheLastOne:
The Rogers network is already very well established so I can't say as though I'm surprised.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
Ha! funny... most of my colleages in the office carry iphone, if not black berry as their work/personal phone. Guess what, most of their roles are dealing with Windows Platforms daily. As for myself, i am opposite, i am dealing with UNIX platform and the only guy who used HTP TP2 (Which I love it a lot).

They will asked, HTC TP2??? what kind of phone is that?? hahahahahahaha.

Even when i go to IKEA at one time, and happen to snap some pics of the furnitures that I want to buy and then show it to the sales rep, he said oh that a nice Iphone. WHAT!!!! LOL!!!

I guess lots of people out there still dont know what is HTC TP2....so sad. :D

I guess it is because, iphone does have the reputation and in the market longer than HTC :>
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Same here. LOL

I´m sure is not because the iphoney or crackberry, it all depends where are you located.

In America continent those mentioned before has more influence and power on advertising and that´s why everybody wants and almost nobody knows HTC, but if you travel to Europe or Asia windows mobile/HTC is more well known than those mentioned before.

But here is the same, every friedn or co-worker has iphoney, crackberry or Nokia:D

ON my Universal times back in 2005 it was even more amazing to show off your HTC!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jinx1:
hahahahahah! lmao

i had a guy (iphone owner) at work ask me if my tp2 was a knock off iphone. i told him yes i couldn't afford to be walled off behind apple walls. so he asks, "what did you pay for it" i told him i wanted to buy an unbranded one for about $700 in may for my birthday but decided to wait and wound up getting one for $300 (plus 2yr extintion to my contract with at&t). he replied with, "why i only spent $99 on my phone?" so i tell him its cuz your iphone SUCKS. i know that was mean but i then explained to him what htc offers with their hardware and how he is limited to what apple allows him to see, use, design, develop, explore, adapt, personalize and so on and so on. he agrees.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
LOL, everywhere I go people think I'm holding an iPhone. And since everyone at my school seems to have one, and since I'm known as the computer expert at my school, everyone assumes I'm using an iPhone because it's the "most advanced phone ever":rolleyes:.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nokiadashi:
i am living in China, the mass only know Nokia,but not HTC.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
The *best* question I got when using my TP2: Is that the new iPhone with a keyboard?? :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
This is surprising as HTC is made in Taiwan, really close to China. I can understand that here in México so far away but so close to the factory and mass does not know!

Wow!

LOL

That is a good one:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] czbenson:
man , not only nokia . .

in fact, people knows dopod so well ,but most of them didn't know dopod is a sub company of htc..

anyway , more and more people use htc phones now.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
Should Apple ever intro such a thing, people are going to assume every keyboarded smartphone in existence is an iPhone Pro clone.

The mass market can be so cute sometimes.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
Back when I had my MDA...I had it so tweaked and geeked that when the iPhoney came out I named my device the iWiz (HTC Wizard which will wiz all over the iPhone)...everyone I knew jumped on the Apple bandwagon, they were my iPhone this, my iPhone that...I'd sit back and patiently watch, then whip out my iWiz and change their tv channels or remote their pc, or view movies, etc...and they would all have their jaws drop...and regret getting the iPhone. Now I have the Rhodium...and I just got it so it isn't even really tweaked and geeked yet, it still has the stock rom even...and it is still killing the iPhone. I just have a good laugh over it. I figure while the Lemmings play with their crappy iPhone, I'll have a good laugh when mine actually DOES something worthwhile...and look just as pretty as the iPhone, when doing that worthwhile thing!!

Oh, and for the Droid lovers...a friend of mine has the Moto Cliq...she charges her battery 3-4x a day...I use GPS, catch up on Twitter and Facebook, and make a ton of calls...and charge my phone every other day...and as for the open source bit...any awesome XDA chef can make my windows device "open source" too!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
AFAIK, that is because they are still being marketed under the Dopod banner (a subsidiary of HTC), while the rest of the world has moved on to HTC.

http://www.dopod.com.cn or http://www.dopod.com/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Doubtful that would happen - heard it somewhere that Mr. Jobs doesn't like the idea of an iPhone with a physical keyboard.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] solsearch:
Yeah, a variety of people thought I had gotten the iPhone when they saw me from afar. Then when they saw it up close they were "what's that" and I'd tell them and responded to their comment that they had thought it was the iPhone with all the reasons I don't want the iPhone. One thing I envy the iPhone slightly is the better processor capable of better video. But that is only slightly as the screen res is so much lower that it doesn't matter in the end cause even with a better video file it will look worse. Plus the new gen of Winmo phones had that CPU beat no questions asked.

And it's amazing how much apple and the iphone have trapped people's attention. My previous phone which I bought in Christmas 2005 was a motorola e680i (white version) and when people saw it they were "is that the new apple phone? I had heard they were coming out with one" because it was touch screen and white and sleek like an imac. The bad thing about that phone was the lack of apps and keyboard.

ANd yeah, no one knows what my phone is or recognizes the brand but that's because in Mexico HTC is almost non-existent. Though curiously the other day I went to one of the bigger more central malls in the city and saw this HUGE banner outside the movie theater from Telcel (the dominant carrier) advertising their new HTC phone, the Diamond (not Diamond 2, just Diamond). Mexico is behind on tech in general. I saw the TyTNII just before I bought my TP2, it was going in the store for about a hundred dollars more than I paid for my TP2 despite the age of the device and inferior specs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] p51d007:
When I went into an at&t corp store in late October to look at a TP2, or a dummy phone, to gauge the size, the at&t drone had no idea what I was talking about, but quickly pointed me to the iphone. I said, no thanks, if I wanted a toy, I'd go to Toys R Us.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stormrain:
Same here in Greece. Htc isn't that much advertised, I'd say that it's starting now though. You just spot a diamond2 here and there and an HD if you look thouroughly. I'm on the go a lot, public transport etc and i have only seen only another one TP2 owned by a teenage girl fyi. However you do spot a hell lot iphones.

Anyway the other day i was messing with my TP2 while being at the subway, and there was this guy that tapped me in the shoulder, fascinated prolly, and was like "Wow dude is this a new version of the iphone, or what?"

And I was like "Dude, google htc touch pro2, and figure it out yourself."

I mean c'mon people every phone with a touchscreen is NOT necessarily invented by Apple! LOL
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
Ha! It's really lots of fun reading everyone here also experiencing with their HTC TP2 get miss-identified with an iphone. :D

Thanks for sharing your experience on how people react to our HTC TP2.

I guess time will tell ......... ;)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dawiebe:
I'm new to putting custom firmware on the android platform, and I've been looking around, but haven't really found anything that answers a few questions I have about the SPL

What are the advantages of flashing a new SPL?

Does it fix problems with the ROM, or increase functionality/usability?

I have an HTC Magic from Canada on Rogers:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H

HBOOT-1.33.0010 (SAPP50000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

I have loaded on Amon_RA's 1.6.2H Donut Rom, and his Recovery RAv1.2.1H.

Thanks,

Dave
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bjtheone:
No advantage to changing the SPL.

It is the "software program loader", as long as it does that and allows you to flash "alternate" ROMs you are in business.

It is also one of the things that messing with, and breaking, can brick your phone. Only worth doing if you have a "perfect" SPL which will not allow anything other than official carrier updates.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
I flashed my HD2 to the newest official ROM and i discovered that it's not possible to rename and/or delete system files like manila files anymore!

Why is this??

With my old ROM i could rename manila files to *.bak and then delete them using Total commander but with the new ROM this isn't possible! I'm really desperate, I don't know what to do!

Could it be that HTC made the new firmware more secure?

Any solutions??? :confused:

I dont have the phone yet or WM6.5 so I cant comment too much but you could try reflashing the rom and see how that affects things. Did you flash the rom using a gold card or just update an official rom?

Sorry for hijacking your thread dude! Do what this guy says, try to re-flash your Rom and see if that helps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Benz-Driver:
Rename your new welcomehead from welcomehead.192 to welcomehead.193 and copy it into the windows folder. Then use the Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (it needs MS Framework 3.5 to be installed to work) and go to Splash Screen. There you have to click the first green entry and change the path from windows/welcomehead.192.png to windows/welcomehead.193.png. Then Softreset. Now you have a new welcomehead, even with new ROM. Have fun! :)

Make it the way i told you, you don't have to change something in the windows folder to have a new startup screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] KB24@CL:
^I did it and it worked great. thanks

But there are some other issues...for example if you want to enable navi panel or hidden games you need to copy some files into the start menu folder but that is not possible because the ROM won't let you.

any solution for the others?

Take a look at this article.

http://androidandme.com/2009/12/pho..._campaign=Feed:+androidandme+(Android+and+Me)

So.. this would really get us close to a custom Hero 2.X ROM?? (beacuse of drivers and chipset compatiblitiy)... right??

:D
[Hero CDMA General] rcklss1:
great :)

well this is great news as i left a moto droid for the eris however i really liked 2.0. The only thing i am a little worried about though is that os 1.6 can now run googles maps with the turn by turn navigation.... I hope they dont screw us over by just giving us 1.6 and not 2.0 or 2.1.... i guess we will have to wait and see
[Hero CDMA General] david_ag:
I agree, after reading the article again the same thought crossed my mind :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
I understand the worry about 1.6 but in all honesty, that would be stupid. The Eris came out AFTER the Hero and they have a 2.1 Hero rom in development for release. I don't see HTC being so foolish as to release 1.6 for Eris.
[Hero CDMA General] tbaker077:
So, I spoke to a tech and they said there will be two updates in the upcoming months. One is scheduled for the 11 of this month(same day for a Droid update) and one is for the 22nd of January. He cold not really see what was planned for the 22nd update but he said the update on the 11th will see a few bug fixes. The few mentioned were the clock and weather widget taking up more battery that suppose to, something relating to google sync, a browser related on and a settings related one. Not sure how really accurate this is, but it sounds positive.

Maybe others can call vzw tech support and ask around
[Hero CDMA General] tdavis42:
You either got a one in a million smart tech guy or he is completely lying to you. I hope the first description applies not the last as I own an Eris myself. We could try calling tech and telling them that we are having problems in the areas listed above and see what they say to either confirm or deny this. Personally mine is fine, although any battery conservation is great, I could wait until 2.x to come to me. I just really want one of these updates to have a hole that we can find so we can get root.
[Hero CDMA General] tbaker077:
well he said that is what the comp records said for the updates...
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
I think the Eris wont get 2.x anytime soon. Too me it looks like Verizon wants 2.0 exclusive to the Droid. See how they point out

just a thought
[Hero CDMA General] tbaker077:
Well I spoke to another tech support person today and they said it looks like the update on 22nd of January may be 2.x update for the Eris. I hope he is right. HTC tech support also told me the Eris will get a few updates in a coming months.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Peterpoose:
Hi all firstly great forums, secondly i am a complete tard when it comes to technology so be gentle please..........

Ok i just recieved my Diamond 2 and i was wondering if you could help me with the basic upgrades i should get right away before i do anything with it and how to do those ie 6.5, ROM stuff etc bear in mind i havent a clue about these phones as it is my first new phone for along time.

Also which memory card should i buy for about £20...£35 i want an 8-16gb, do i need to get a micro or normal size ? a class 2, 4, 6 ?

The phone is from London and sim free if that helps.

So is there any upgrades that are a must or i should definately get before i start playing around with it.

Thanks in advance for any replies and for your time.

Peter
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Nirak:
Peter, you better post this in the right forum, this is the Diamond (1) forum, and you have a Diamond 2, that's known here as Topaz.

btw...to upgrade your Topaz to WM6.5 i believe there is an official ROM released by HTC, i'm sure there's a link to that one in the Topaz ROM development forum; this ROM you can flash 'out of the box' cuz it's an official one.

However, if you want to upgrade to another, custom WM6.5. ROM you have to run HardSPL on the phone to be able to do that.

Start reading the Topaz ROM development forum (esp the stickies with very usefull info) and you'll figure it out i'm sure.

Good luck and congrats with your new phone...it's way faster then the Diamond 1, but not as beautiful ;)
