[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Boyo92:
Just flashed Gen Y D2 R4.3 A and when I go to the programs tab or any tab and hold down the scoll bar it starts to jump up and down continuously, has anyone got any ideas how I can fix this as it's really annoying.

Also how do I disable vibrating when I input text?

Regards.

Hi -- I just downloaded the new version of Bing. I'm running it on an HTC Sedna with Windows Mobile 6.1. It _seems_ to work fine on my phone. Fine except for the fact that within a minute or two I get a message which says "Your device has been identified as not supported for this application," after which Bing shuts down. Any ideas on how to get around this? This software is supposed to work with WM 6.1 phones and it seems to do so until Microsoft pulls the plug!

Thanks, Alan
[General Topics] nathanpc:
Are you using a cooked ROM?

I suggest you to install it on a emulator and see what happens ;)
[General Topics] carrot34:
Thanks -- no, I'm using the standard HTC ROM. (I don't even think there ARE any cooked ROMS for this phone!)

I've never dealt with an emulator, so I don't immediately know how to do what you're suggesting, nor do I have a sense of how time consuming that would be. But would it be worthwhile to go down that road? If Bing worked on the emulator, how would that help me figure out how to make it work on my phone?

I wonder if there's a way to tell Bing that I've got a different kind of phone. I suspect that would fix this. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

Alan
[General Topics] nathanpc:
Ok, but you can share where you got the installation file(just to do a test here).

Thanks.
[General Topics] carrot34:
Yes -- I got it from here:

http://static.appserver.m.bing.net/binaries/winmo/v1/Bing.CAB

I was running the previous version of Bing, and the program sent me to this link to get the updated version (which then gives me errors about my phone not being supported).

Thanks, Alan
[General Topics] nathanpc:
Thanks very much, I'm going to test it. :)

Wait some time...
[General Topics] carrot34:
That's terrific! Thanks so much!

Bing...

Works OK on Diamond 1 with stock 6.1 ROM. Not sure if I like it or not..:)
[General Topics] carrot34:
Right -- I know it works on other WM 6.1 phones. I'm wondering how to run it on mine. I suspect the solution is to make Bing think I'm using a Diamond or some other phone it knows it's compatible with. Anyone know how to do this? What does it use to figure out what sort of phone I have?

Thanks, Alan
[General Topics] nathanpc:
It's working on my emulator.

Have you already tried another version?
[General Topics] carrot34:
I don't really understand what you're asking ... I've run this program on two different (stock WM 6.1) HTC P6500s with the same result: it works fine a little while, then I get a message that I'm not using a supported device and the software shuts down. I don't know how running this on an emulator would help me fix the problem. I know that the software works fine on Diamonds, Touch Pro2, Diamond 2, and other officially-supported WM 6.1 phones. And I know that the software detects my P6500 as not supported and therefore will stop working after a while.

SO: the question is how to get Bing to believe I'm using a phone that it considers supported? I've tried replacing P6500 with T5353 (Touch Diamond 2) in a couple of places in the registry:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ActiveSync\DeviceModel

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform

But it doesn't seem to make a difference ....

Does anyone have any other ideas about how I might fix this?

Thanks,

Alan
[General Topics] nathanpc:
I think that change these registrys:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ActiveSync\ DeviceModel

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent\Post Platform

Isn't a very good thing, because this can turn your device unstable.

PS: I'm going to Google for some solution.
[General Topics] nathanpc:
I need one thing to solve your problem as fast as I can. It's the error code.

Thanks.
[General Topics] carrot34:
Thanks so much ... Yeah, I didn't leave those registry changes on long: just a quick experiment.

OK, forgive my ignorance, but how can I find out the error code to tell you?

Thank you!

Alan
[General Topics] lioryte:
Error in images, this is after being cooked in, works for a few min but than get a compatibility error and shuts down
[General Topics] carrot34:
Interesting -- that's a different error than the one I get, though mine generally comes up around the same time. Mine says "Your device has been identified as not supported for this application."

How do we find error codes for these?

Alan
[General Topics] lioryte:
It seems they have the same root, this has been cooked in I was hoping to go "around" the not supportive error that you get with the cab file.

Since I took it out of my build I think the best way will be to run it cooked in an emulator to get it.
[General Topics] nathanpc:
Huh, interesting...

I'm going to take a better look on this. :)
[General Topics] lioryte:
Thanks,

Att. is the OEM package
[General Topics] nathanpc:
You're welcome!

I'm going to take a look when I get in my home, now I'm on a café ;)
[Dash 3G, Snap General] r.a-c.r.:
Hey all, thanks for all the awesomeness around here. I would really like to be able to geotag a photo when I take it. I have tried

locr - crashes upon first run of program, never opens

edit: in forum locr states that they do not support smartphones

gpsed - does not tag on the phone

GPSToday - not for smartphones

Any solutions? Thanks!
[Dash 3G, Snap General] gorgarath:
Well, there's a registry setting you can change to enable the GPS photo option, but unfortunately it seems there's more required to get it working as it's not actually adding the GPS information to the pictures.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] r.a-c.r.:
yup

I just came back to update this with that info I found about the hklm/software/htc/camera/p9 enable change and if anyone had a smartphone solution with this. Yeah, no exif reader I use finds any location info in the header of the pics I take with gps photo...

So close I can taste it!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Godson1227:
I've seen a lot of different recovery images and not sure if you need to upgrade recovery image to flash a new rom. Is there a universal spl and radio you need like the g1 had ? Here's my stats from hboot menu

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

RADIO-2.22.19.261

May 27 2009, 19:06:41

Do I have the correct spl to run hero ??? I know the radio is correct I compared to the hboot on my g1 but the spl is different ? Also I'm assuming I'm rooted since I can use adb commands on the phone not sure can anyone help confirm ? All this "one click" stuff seems easy but seems more difficult to me lol at least on my g1 I had to do work and knew when something wasn't working right or not lol but any help and input i recieve is greatly appreciated thanx :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nephron:
what is your spl?

should be eng. spl that ends in .2005 or .2003. If you have that spl then u flash any rom u want. If you have a perfect spl that ends with .2006 (i think) u need to create a gold card and downgrade your spl to an engerneering one. As for recovery i recomend this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

download:

http://www.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-magic-v1.3.2G.img

O and to check if you have engneering spl, you can access fastboot by turning on your phone while holding down VOLUME DOWN and see if it lets u get access. If it does, press Back, connect to your computer through USB and flash the recovery through fastboot. :D

Good luck!

That's what happened to mine too. Good luck gettin any answers though. It's hella saddity in the sap forum. I don't think it really makes any difference. Still functions same as before. Only thing I've noticed is that I get lag now after changing my SPL.

Anyone come up with an idea, or work around that allows the ringtones to go though the blue tooth? My winMo phone did this, it would be nice to know who was calling without having to look at the phone.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] blitz89:
when will it be available for download?:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MysteryHero:
the Lox ROM is already available, in fact you can download it at HTCpedia, but be warned as the ROM is not complete and it's not a final build. A more recent rom has been leaked by Kingklick but is only available for G1/Magic 32B.

Here is the link to Lox Rom 1.4: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1417
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NewYorkLaw:
Will the newer rom leave me with less usable memory on the device?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] habibas:
you forgot to mention the bluetooth has been enabled to send and recive files

but the type of the files are limited to the media only that's disappointing
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
Can you please explain what you mean by this??

"

Weather Animation

* Weather Animation makes a return in this new firmware. The removed feature in the revised 1.5 rom disappointed alot of users but it's now made it's return. The animation effect is basically a home screen effect inwhich when you greeted with weather animations occuring on your home screen which occurs if it's raining/snowing/lightning etc. Eye candy.

"

Is there now weather animation under the clock?? Or do you mean there is animation when you are using the weather application?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MysteryHero:
Yes, I believe I only had around 100mb when I first upgraded the firmware. However this might change as this is not the final build.

I will add that, thank you :)

I just fired up my nandroid build and saw that the widget on the home screen can reproduce the same weather animation, therefore I think it's just an option to switch the animations on and off. However, the clock widget isn't really working, therefore there still could be hope.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jpalo:
The Bluetooth and Browser sections are somewhat mixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JBNAquatics:
Alright here's what I've gathered from the posts on HTCPedia and from my own user experiences:

-Rings extended (app) finally works on this ROM

-You can now choose to link which accounts you want (Google, Facebook, or both)

-Music player is left untouched

-Camera and camcorder are left untouched (they do not have the "new" 1.6 Donut look)

-Calendar is also left untouched

-Gmail has a different look to it but virtually untouched

-The call settings now have a "Silent" and a "Speaker" button that you can press directly like the Sprint Hero :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] discostu105:
WPA2 Enterprise

Are WPA2-Enterprise Certificates supported in 2.1? I am wondering, because it was already built into 1.5, but when hitting the button "add certificate" it wouldn't work (Settings > Wireless > WLAN > Advanced > Security Certificates). This was obviously a bug. Does this work now, or was it removed?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
what about the rumours that eclair will support 262k colors, and enhance the onscreen colors of the hero from 65k to 262k. can anybody confirm that?

i can't imagine this happening, but still wanted to ask ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] MysteryHero:
I will be adding your newly found experiences! :)

They have removed this, or re-located it to somewhere else. I've tried finding it but no luck :(

I thought this was aimed specifically at XPERIA 10, but I've really not noticed other than the menu may seem a bit crisper than before.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kiwi89:
Have they managed to fix the alarm in this buld?

There was a bug on the current build that stops the alarm from working correctly. You turn it on and the alarm goes off but it doesn't make a sound at all, or nothing happens when it is supposed to go off.

Official rom

Anyone have any information about when the official room with Android 2.1 wil be released?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Yeah, my pet wombat said it would be by wed this week.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jporch316:
Any idea which files? I asume jpegs and mp3s would be fine? Although perhaps I shouldnt assume anything!

The one thing I would like to see is the HTC slide to answer when receiving a call that was present on the Touch Diamond - slide left to answer slide right to reject!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 160bpm:
Hi guys,

little offtopic question of you don't mind..

Can someone PM me what the normal price is for HTC Hero?

I'm using Kaiser and before Herald. but will switch :)

Thanks...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
will htc hero eclair update provide the option to switch to standard android apps.

in example i think the default android calendar looks much much better than the htc sense calendar since htcs version has no week view and no timelines on monthview.

Is this possible? Or did htc at least add timelines to their calendar app?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ALUOp:
I want rubber-band effect on all scrollable pages, e.g. settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
another question:

will the 2.1 update swipe the old device again, like the first HTC Hero update did?

So this means setting up the phone completely from scratch again? Or is this an update which will keep the current settings/apps and so on...im afraid this is not the case ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
There's no rom update that saves your stuff. As far as I know you'll always have to start from scratch. But there are some back-up tools you can use.

I just start from scratch each time, keeps my phone fresh. I tend to install

lot's of useless apps and never think about removing them :p.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
well the OTA updates on other google phones don't swipe anything right? woul be great if HTC would provide OTA updates someday.

But then again you are correct, sometimes it makes sense to setup the system again, just to make it more responsive and get rid of all those apps you never use.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RemoteSojourner:
Which reminds me of another feature of ROM when I tried it. In the settings menu there is an option to check for software updates so I am guessing we are getting OTA updates starting from this release.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] jayw08:
I reallly really hope they bring back the flip animation it was such a mistake to take it out, my phone wasnt the same after it had gone, anyway you can share your build with us?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] png6:
Anybody who knows when voice dial like on the iphone will apear?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I really really hope that you are not serious. If the flip-animation is your most important concern for the eclair update, then something is going seriously wrong here! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jayw08:
lol well i didnt say it was my main reason for them to update, the rest sounds good it just would be nice to have the flip back, even if they offer it via that get more htc gadgets option in the widgets menu
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mape78:
A2DP

Please say that they will enable Bluetooth A2DP support in 2.1...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
????? Are you sure you mean A2DP, because that's been in Android since 1.5.

I settle for a less buggy stereo bluetooth, speed up, slow downs, and general connection issues.

Any luck on this release?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vgkeeper:
i hope that they will change the htc albums app:

In the current rom, it is possible to view our private flickr album by set (which is a very good thing, very user friendly), but we can't download the pictures or just set it as wallpapers (and no app on the market can do it!!!!!).

Any chance for a change? :confused:

I hope
[Hero, G2 Touch General] streetdaddy:
would also like to know if this has been fixed. I've tried multiple bluetooth transmitter thingies and they all have the tempo bug...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mape78:
Ahem, stupid me. Since I couldn't connect my bluetooth stereo headset (Jabra something), I just took for granted that A2DP was not supported...

i have been playing around with my motorola milestone testdevice for some days now, and i can't wait for the HTC Hero 2.1 update to arrive. Any news if we will get it before christmas?

there were some rumours about that.

and it slowly starts to bug me that there are many apps out there which require android 1.6 at least and i can't download them on my hero.

also i really want to download the google maps apk with navigation for europe...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] streetdaddy:
I have a Jabra SP-700 to which I can connect to with no problems with my HTC Hero. However, I do have tempo issues when listening to mp3 with high bit rate.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
17th december and still no news. If i think about the RUU leak for the last HTC Hero update, and how long it took afterwards until it was available on all HTC pages, i'm very sure that we won't see anything before christmas. Some time in january maybe...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] marinierb:
On the subject of OTA updates, I'm not sure I would want HTC updates on my rooted/customized phone. The updates could easily lock it back down and remove some of the added functionality.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] CitizenLee:
Speaking hypothetically obviously, but you wont be forced to accept them.

Go into settings and choose:

Secutiry

>

Firmware update

>

Firmware download

Then choose either

"Prompt before download" or "Never"

;)

No but once an official one is released you bet a new Madaco will come soon after!! :D

Does anyone know if they have fixed the bugs with the alarm not making any sound when it goes off?

This is kinda been a bit of a problem, I mean, 3rd party apps fix it. But its still annoying.

[eclair] Google Says: "You don't have a network connection."

I wiped and loaded an Eclair 2.1 Rom (Community Signed v1.7 [Dec-16] from HTMedia). Added my APN, and Browser is working fine, and most apps go online and mobile network is working great.

Problem is: I can't access "Market" because the Google-signup/signon part says "you don't have a network connection"

I tried with WiFi also. No good.

Problem also existed in Community-Signed v1.6

I am using RA_Hero_1.5.2 recovery image and my Hero Orange-UK with a GoldCard (even though It's unlocked with a pin-code already)

Thank you for your time

[Hero, G2 Touch General] MehLon:
OK, I've got a few questions about this new update:

1. If I run the update and my phone has been unlocked, will the software which unlocks the phone be removed?

2. Are the weather animations simillar to the HD2 where snow/rain/storms take up the whole home screen background?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] feliks09:
so this rom cant be used for htc hero itself?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tjempeng:
Is it now possible in eclair to install the apps on the sdcard instead of internal memory ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yozgatg:
nope, but Google recently said (on CES) that they're going to enable encryption for SD cards in a future update so this will be possible later on(i guess android 2.2)

u can still use apps2sd at the moment if u're using a cooked rom, however it's not exactly the same

* with not exactly the same i mean that developers are buildings apps but they're keeping in mind that the majority of users do not have apps2sd, also apps2sd requires the creation of a seperate partition on your sd card while a native solution would not require this

in the end, this is a must if google wants developers to bring iphone level games to the android (with alot of textures etc. that take alot of space)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Not necessarily - there's no reason why an application can't download and store its resources on the SD card - if fact, it's pretty sensible thing to do.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] urandom:
bandwidth is not free, so it would be illogical for them to host the bigger part of their app/game themselves (unless they are a big company). it would've been nice if developers could tell the installer to put all resources on the sd, rather than lumping everything together.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ziiiik:
If i have firmware version 1.5 and the MoDaCo Custom ROM(most recent build) and the phone is rooted, goldcard made, and A ra recovery, will updating to the newest firmware affect any of these mods to the phone. or can i just upgrade and be fine? Will i still be able to have wifi tether and will i be able to load another custom rom? I am just trying to figure out exactly what it will do i if i decide to take my hero g2 to the next step.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Take a look at this article from VillianRom Forums.

A Warning About the Official HTC Eclair RUU

So the answer is NO, DONT DO IT!!!!.... A stock-like 2.1 with all the locks removed will be released within the hour of it being officially released. Or you could have a go doing it yourself. Its not too difficult to extract the ROM stripping the recovery and other stuff not needed.

Sorry if this already been asked but my US Sprint HTC hero doesn't have the transparent notifications screen. I'm also using the official Eclair 2.1. Do I not have it because my phone isn't rooted or do I need to download something?
