[G1 General] kommodore44:
This story starts sometime around september of 2008, i was a young sidekick user, ignorant of the smartphones of the times (the various blackberries and iphones) and was completely happy with my sidekick slide.:)

Then i saw it, :eek: the G1 i had to have it and i waited for it to come out and the first week it was out, it was mine.

Soon, 1.0 became 1.5 and then 1.6, and all was well. Until a startling lack of 2.0-ness made me root-crazy. :confused: I wanted Maps Navigation and i wanted the pretty interface. Call me vain but i needed 2.0

I soon realized that 2.0 might not be coming to my lowly and archaic G1, so i decided to brave the wilds of the world and root it. I followed Cyanogens tutorial and got as far as getting root access. I just wasnt able to do it over wifi or edge (as i dont have 3g at my abode) so i decided to not screw with it and was content to have my stone age Android 1.0

i used it for a few days in its crippled state and realized i needed my tasty Donut back. i tried waiting for the updates, but they kept saying update failed and such. So following tutorials in these parts and a tutorial from unlockr, i ended up with cupcake and was trying to get to donut when i realized that the phone had CRB43 as the build number. NOT being a wizard of computation it took me a while to realize that that was a custom and or foreign build (im still not sure)

So i decided to unfuck it, once again and go back down to RC29 which i had just done. I threw the dreaimg.nbh onto the sd and WHAM

grey screen, blue and red letters

UPDATE FAILED

i figured ok. ill just take out the battery and try again.

again, and again this happened.

i cant get beyond the failure and then a Serial0 on the rainbow screen. Ive googled around and seen other folks in a similar situation but im not sure if my 6 pack or stupidity messed mine up even more so then the rest of the lads and lasses out there.

Now im chalking this up to user error, but is there anyway i can get back to RC29 STOCK and just wait for the OTAs? or should i cry to T-mob and weasel one out of them?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Your sdcard is bad.

Get a new one.
[G1 General] kommodore44:
just tried it on a different card, no go

they both could be dead though, so ill try a brand new one monday.
[G1 General] RueTheDay:
If you can get to the rainbow screen, you are NOT bricked.

If it's not a bad SD card, it could simply be that your update.zip file is incomplete or corrupted. Try downloading it again.
[G1 General] kommodore44:
three cards and 2 update.zip's later im back to legit RC29, now do you guys know if it will auto update or should i manually work my way back to donut?
[G1 General] sturmeh:
You need to goldcard your sd to be able to downgrade to RC29... :\

[Touch Pro CDMA] okwassup:
Just wondering and hope to get a good reply either yes or no.thinking about buying the HTC pro 2 , but dont know if sprint in the west cost US will need to make me switch to all data plan , i have the cero know and i guess its the same like all data ..., but a way for them to make more cash.

so id like to know if they have cracked these where if i choose i can fix the ESN.?
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
First of, this section is for the Touch Pro only and not the TP2. Second, if I understand correctly, you want to change the ESN so that they do not know it is the tp2 that you are using (swap it with a different phone's esn from their db). Changing the ESN is illegal and it is not something that can be openly discussed here at XDA. However, information is readily available on the web, so simply google it. I will tell you one thing though, it is possible and the phone simply needs to be SuperCID unlocked for this... ;)
[Touch Pro CDMA] okwassup:
yes exactly , didnt know if i can say ESN here or not, everything is illegal know adays what a shame .

anyhow i looked up some info and didnt find the info., at least know i know what is super CID is., still thank you for the info.

so if this is TP1 , can the TP1 be unlocked super cid ...etc and i would be able to do what i want.?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nvgear:
Does anyone know how to disable the sensor that turns off/on the lcd when you put the phone to your face?

This is a HUGE problem when I AM ON A CALL using bluetooth headset and the phone is in my pocket or belt case and the stupid sensor would randomly turn the screen on and then random keys would be pressed during call or apps launched.

I have s2u2 slide lock but it doesnt lock phone while in call, please help. THank s.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] worwig:
Not a fix, but, TouchLock Pro locks it when that sensor blanks the screen.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nvgear:
where can i get that? thx!!

i've been searching for a 1350 ma battery for my topaz when i suddenly found out that the 1350 mah battery looks exactly like our 1100 mah battery

does this mean that if i by the hero's 1350 mah it will fit in our topaz

anyone?

do you think it will work??

check the photos, you will see that it even has the same part number
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] pa49:
I am currently using an after market 1340mAh battery in my TD2.

Bought from ebay and lasts slightly longer (given my usage) as the stock battery.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] sabbourh:
thanks

thanks for your reply

did you have to change the back cover for the new battery or it's as the same size as the stock one?

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] pa49:
The battery I got is a perfect fit (I did originally wonder if the capacity was indeed 1340mAh) with the stock back.

I have tried an original Hero battery (1350mAh) and it's a tight fit, but, you can get it in there!!!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] wjenya:
Awesome

Hey, Those are wonderful news ! :)

Plz give some review about hero's lifetime, would you?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] pa49:
That really is an impossible question to answer as there is so much affecting different peoples usage and the ROM.

However, the battery I got does give improved usage time and if I had to put a figure on it I would say 15% improvement.

Purchased from here-

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] alexace:
Just saw a 2700mAh battery on eBay for @20.00 with shipping, and there are plenty of 2200mAh batteries being auctioned specifically for the PURE/TOPAZ/DIAMOND2. Does that help?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] sabbourh:
wanted help

what would help is if someone who already has a topaz , bought a hero battery and try to fit it in our topaz devices

two questions, will it fit and the back cover will be closed

and if so , what will this battery deliver in performance?

still waiting for replies

thank you all
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] marjanot:
I think that the batteries are not same thickness, I don't think that you can use Hero's battery to TD2
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] pa49:
I think I mentioned that I am running an after market hero replacement battery and had also tried the original hero battery???????????

Do you guys read the previous posts?

And I gave an appraisal of performance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] sabbourh:
thanks

i know that, what i mean is that we can use more opinions and information about hero's battery life in diamond 2

but that does not mean that yours are not helpful , on the contrary it was great and thanks so much for it

:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] wjenya:
Are you talking about aftermarket or original hero battery?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] pa49:
I don't have a hero battery, just tried it for fit, so the answer is an after market 1349 mAh item. No name!

The link has an illustration.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] diego1810:
:) I buyed this 1480 mAh battery from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.it/HTC-BATTERIA-148...QptZAccessori_per_palmari?hash=item2c51eb7bdc

the seller told me that fits perfect in our Diamond2; when it will arrive, I tell you my impression...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] wout1962:
Hero battery for the Topaz

I have bought an Hero battery 1550 mah. It fits in the length and width. The thickness is a little more 2 mm.

It is possible to close the cover. It is a little tight.

I can not tell you now if the battery is running longer. I will notify you later in this threat.

I have bought the battery here:https://www.batteryupgrade.com/shopBrowser.php#/assortmentProductId/72162062/shopGroupId/60141010

The battery is send from Honkong. I lasted about 7 day's. including the hollyday's. The price is 24,49 euro.

greetings Wout
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] sabbourh:
why didn't you try buying it from htc agent in your country, how much is the original battery is $

waiting for your feedback on the battery

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] ShAdOwfOx032:
I just tried my friend's Hero Battery and it works. Shows up as 1350 mah, but sadly it is a very tight fit. I can only get 1 side to click in and the other side of the battery cover has a gap. I believe if I sand down the battery cover I might be able to get it to fit. I'll post more once I get some tools to sand down the battery cover.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] wjenya:
What's up there? We need info & extrapower to feed our topaz guyz :)

Is it affirmative to use Hero's original battery or not ?

Replacement battery from Cameron seems as positive, right ?

I don't want to replace the cover however - got invisible shield on it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] archivegod:
Hi PA49, what was the exact name of the aftermarket battery you purchased on Ebay as Im trying to find it??

thanks, Paul
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] pa49:
As I said the battery was a no name and the link is posted in my previous post.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] JeeHaa:
I bought this $13 1550 mAh Cameron Hero replacement battery from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390110830276

It fits in the D2, but one of the sides does not close properly and I will not use it like this. It's really a 1350mAh battery though, I checked with the HTC battery.exe tool.

I have ordered a replacement matte back cover form ebay as well and when that arrives I will try that.

Much to my surprise I may not need it, I'm on my 4th day with the original 1100mAh battery (75h now), with 23% left (it will die today)!

ROM: NhatHoa_Topaz_WWE_WM6.5Rom_21893_Feb_26_2010

Radio: 4.49.25.91 (good one!)

Config: GSM mode, 3G/Wifi/BT off

Daily usage: very light, a few calls/sms per day and a bit of GPRS traffic, screen turned on quite a few times (phone is new to me)

Update: it finally lasted a full 3.5 days (86h). With 5% left I put it on the charger at the end of the day.

Pretty awesome battery life compared with my old Diamond with a HTC 1350 mAh extended battery!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] ricarp:
Hello, Diego, You finally received it? How does it fit?

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] jono_l:
This may be a bit of a threadmine, but just for the reference, I just bought an original HTC Hero battery to fit to my Topaz.

Without any modifications, there is no way in hell that the Hero battery will fit properly with a standard battery cover. The battery cover will click in on the stylus side of the phone, but will not even come close to clicking in on the other side. As the standard battery cover is already thinner on the non-stylus side, I didn't bother trying to sand the cover thinner.

Instead, I disassembled the Hero battery by peeling off all the plastic vinyl-like material that it it was wrapped in. The battery itself has a two piece outer housing, which is simply stuck to the battery cell/circuit board itself with adhesive. I trimmed the non-stylus side of the outer housing, stuck it all back together with a bit of sellotape, put it back in and problem solved! The standard battery cover has a slightly noticeable buldge to it, but both sides click in properly (just!) and there are only very minor gaps.

Also worth mentioning is that the original Hero battery, whilst made in China, actually makes use of Japanese-made Li-ion cells.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] smileyint:
Hi jono_l

Good job increasing the Topaz battery capacity. It will be nice to post some pics. tia.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] wjenya:
I've ordered the original black battery 1350 for hero with a EU charger (the one with the usb and battery simultaneous charge) from ebay for my topaz and i use it already for 2 months just fine. Didn't measured the difference, i use both the original and hero's , just switch it when it's over.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] slick_lv:
Could you please measure the difference? I'm just considering of buying one too.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] [lx]-DdBl:
the point is that this one is fatter and that you need a back cover with a lump
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] wjenya:
Just want you all to be advised that if you upgrade yourself to incredible s then you may keep hero and topaz batteries as spare ones for it. It fits.

Is it possible to emulate an android ROM on a computer?
[Android Software Development] AdrianK:
If you grab the SDK, you can run any version of Android in the emulator. If you want to run an actual ROM you will need to create an image of /system (as system.img) and replace that with those in the SDK folder.
[Android Software Development] effbiai:
thanks alot! that helped me alot :)

and yes, i want to run an actual ROM. what filesystem does it have to be?

was thinking about something like...

(cd PATH)

dd if=/dev/zero of=system bs=1024 count=#KB_needed

losetup /dev/loop0 system

mkfs -f FS /dev/loop0

(mkdir /mnt/system)

mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/system/

cp -a system /mnt/system/

umount /mnt/system/

losetup -d /dev/loop0

do you know any good tools for this exept for dd?
[Android Software Development] AdrianK:
Never tried so I honestly don't know, you sound like you know a lot more than me about creating/mounting images than me, so it's probably best to use your judement. The easiest way is just to make a nadroid back backup, flash the ROM you want to test, nadroid that and grab system.img, revert to your old nandroid backup. It's tedious, and it doesn't help if you want to test a ROM before flashing, but that's the only method I've heard people use.
[Android Software Development] effbiai:
okay. thanks :)

HTC Sense UI system.img

Does anybody know where I can download a system.img for a HTC with Sense UI (Hero for example)? I have been looking for ages with no luck.

My app is not working on a customers Hero and I am trying to find a Hero system.img to run in the emulator so I can work out why it fails on this phone.

I dont own a Hero, so am unable to extract my own system.img.
[Android Software Development] effbiai:
You can get HTC official ROMs here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622

if you've got a windows computer you probably could extract the content of this exe file and then try to follow my previous instructions to make the system.img.

And if you don't have an unix/linux box.. You could send the content of the exe file to me, if you are able to extract the data in it. (I'm in China with a netbook atm and not able to extract the exe file with my limited tools). Then I could try to make you a system.img
[Android Software Development] mikeluck:
I tried that, but without an HTC phone connected to the PC USB the exe wont extract.
[Android Software Development] mikeluck:
I take that back. I found the files in my temp folder. I have extracted ROM.zip including the system.img into the avd folder, but the emulator is failing to bring it up. :(
[Android Software Development] effbiai:
could you upload that zip file here or on rapidshare? then i could have a look at it
[Android Software Development] mikeluck:
Here is the rom.zip file from RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.38_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe:

rom.zip

Other people must be doing this kindof thing to test their apps?

Here is the logcat. It looks like the sytem process is starting to come up, then fails. This repeats over and over.
[Android Software Development] mikeluck:
Anybody?

Someone must have emulated HTC Touch / Sense UI?!
[Android Software Development] Brainze:
Okay... After unzipping and manipulating a 2.1 ROM to my liking; I have now resigned it...

Can someone please explain to me how I would go about testing it with the Android SDK Emulator?

What must I do to test out this newly packaged ROM file? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] rayman95:
I want to know if it's possible to install rom from diamond to HD.it's less heavy and more speedy than a rom from HD.there is rom WM6.5 M2.5 for diamond by NRG. the problem maybe is for the sresolution of the screen but not for the material

Is someone already tried??

thank's
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ekksman:
hi, this is not possible specific roms for specific devices
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] dio05:
NRG also makes ROMs for the HD, you may want to ask him if possible to do a ROM similar to the Diamond or a lite LEO/Pheonix 2 ROM
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As per post#2, do not flash a rom from one device onto another as you are likely to brick your device. This is why we have specific roms for specific devices

Ali, did you try to update to 1.48 ? In the change log they mentioned crystal clear voice calls. Any chance ?
[HD2 General] ali1984:
Hi Xeon,

yes i´m have the new Rom.

on MP3 its really clear... on calling the first beep beep is really clear too not the

talk.

in the German forum, there are some people who have the problem. you do not?
[HD2 General] elburna:
Its still not a speaker problem but more a disfunctionality of the radiopart of the HD2 or its drivers (or the equalizer or something). You will know what i mean when you try a call via the headset. Same crakling sounds during the call....

BTW Im on 1.48 and it didnt solve the problem for me. Hopefully ths is really a problem of radio-drivers or something...
[HD2 General] infer:
it sounds like the VU peaks and the sound gets clipped in result. Since not a lot of people have this provlem I doubt we will get a fix before new year if ever. I am shipping my hd2 back.:(
[HD2 General] Xeon:
What I dont understand is How can some people have this problem and some other not ?
[HD2 General] infer:
I have shipped my HD2 back for a replacement. If the new device has the same problem also then it must either be a bad batch of HD2's or an incompatibility with some carriers and the HD2 radio. Looks like I am going to give the N900 a test drive really soon.;)

I hope next year people stop being so forgiving to multimillion dollar empires. :rolleyes:

I won't lie, I'm pro-piracy, and don't mind sites that host apps for free download, but profiting off someone else's work is frankly, sickening.

They used a privacy company to hide who they are.

And then they used Tucows address as their domain registration address?

Piracy is piracy. Don't think somehow a for-free piracy distribution site is any more justified than a paid one.

If anything, for-free distribution sites hurt developers more than paid sites: which one do you think attracts more pirates?

(Note: Don't somehow come to the twisted conclusion that I support piracy of any kind; I don't.)
[G1 Apps and Games] kusotare:
The difference between the two jashsu is that there is a large contingent of the "try before you buy" type of pirates out there. They'll get a warez version of an app, and if they like it, they'll often uninstall it and pay for the market version. However, if they pay for it through a third party website, the original developer never sees that profit.

Thats not to say I support piracy, because I dont. I fully believe that people should be compensated for hard work. I'm more than willing to pay for an app up front, and if it sucks, the dev will find out by reading the refund notice when i uninstall it within 24 hours.
