Why don't you take your phone back and go get an iPhone instead? Complaining about it here isn't going to help any and it's not, as far as I can tell, a general issue as plenty of people do not see this effect (myself included).
[HD2 General] sharpey:
just tried 2 of the tests on mine and i do not get any of the problems.
[HD2 General] Tim7:
I just got an HD2 a couple of days ago on O2 in the UK. I have the stock 1.43 ROM at the moment and have this keyboard jitter really bad too :confused:. Should I ring O2 and get a replacement, or is a new ROM likely to fix it?

Cheers.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
With a previous version I had I could get gps to work in both. I have had to have that phone replaced and I went back to 1.5 because I need gps. I couldn't get it to work. Rebooted into winmo and can't get it to work.

I've tried changing the gps setting from 2 to 4.

I've tried a cab file I found and ran ppsd/ppst can't remember.

I've installed the SPCS_Internet&GPS_FIX.cab which has previously worked for me, and I still can't get any gps lock on.

I've tried with google maps and with the microsoft app that comes with winmo 6.1. I'm running winmo 6.1 stock.

Tech support told me to use sprint navagation, but I'm not paying for that.

Any other ideas? Should I take it back to the store as defective? Would a hard reset make a difference?

Thank you
[Touch CDMA General] golfnz34me:
In winmo try setting the GPS mode to 0 and the Enable AGPS and Smartmode settings to off.

This will ensure that the GPS is only looking at sats for position info and not using the cell network at all.

Then put the phone somewhere it should easily be able to get a lock, turn on Bing or Google maps or another GPS viewer and let it sit for at least 20 minutes.

You should be able to get a lock if the GPS chip is working.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Thank you for the info.

I know the enable agps setting, I'm not sure what the smartmode setting is. GPS mode is the one that is normally set to 2 that I changed 4 right?

I'll give it a shot. Shouldn't google maps be able to use agps or cellular connection to give me a rough idea of my location? I haven't even been able to get that much.
[Touch CDMA General] golfnz34me:
Yes, in theory it can, but if your phone is epxecting to see correction data from those sources and it is not there, you won't be able to get a fix even if the GPS is working just fine. By doing this we can see if the raw GPS is working first.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Thank you. I made the changes you suggested with no luck with either livesearch or google maps. GPS just keeps timing out saying weak signal or such. I am in a wide open space with nothing taller than trees around. So hard reset my phone yet again, and tried finding gps on the drive to the store, no luck.

I went to the nearest repair center which is 40-50 miles away from me. Took almost 30 minutes to see someone. I told her I couldn't get my gps to work and want the tech to look at it. She takes my phone, doesn't sign me in, doesn't scan the phone or anything and just starts messing with it. Asks for my last name and email address. I give it to her, she enters it into my phone so I ask her why. Said she was signing me into Sprint Navigation. I tell her I don't use that, I use Google Maps or Livesearch. She says oh and brings up live search. Of course the map comes up as data works. She sits there playing with it, ask her what she's doing. She tells me it works because she can search for places. At this piont I'm ticked off she wouldn't do as I asked and is just screwing around playing with my phone. She says it works it's showing where we are. It did not have the number of sattalites connected, didn't say searching for location or anything, GPS was not on. I point this out to her and she keeps playing with it. I tell her I have to get going because I have an appointment and leave before I really have it out in the store. Left the store and looked, I'm into the Sprint Navagation so I try getting it to lock on to gps on the way home. It wouldn't lock either with weak gps message. Got home, went to the same open spot and tried again, still nothing. Hoping I'm not charged for using Sprint Navigation.

So a 40-50 mile trip for that, I'm ticked.

So anything else I can do? This is my third vogue with gps problems.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Just got off an hour long talk to Tech Support. Lady asked how much phone signal I got. 2 bars of EVDO. She said maybe you just don't have enough signal for gps.

Am I missing something here? I swore the gps chip could work independently of having signal. I can surf the web and all at decent speed but not enough signal for GPS? Told me she couldn't do anything, would have to go to a repair store (knowing I already had) or sign another contract and buy a new device. Also said I wasn't eligible for my $150 upgrade until the 11th but thats the end of my contract, I've been eligible for weeks at least.

I'm not sure if I should call tech support again, knowing they can't do anything, or retentions.

edit:

Called Tech Support again, guy said the previous woman was wrong about the gps. Asked to go to account services. They said they couldn't do anything for me but upgrade me. I said no way. They then told me to go to a sprint store then. bah.
[Touch CDMA General] aven_soulgazer:
Went back to the store and had the tech look at it. He said that the gps was only getting to 40% and then stopping. Ordered me another refurb Touch. I'd think they'd give me something else by now, I mean if Touch Pro people are getting the TP2 for phone issues.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] chroot:
I have CM 4.2.6 w/ apps2sd and the application Astro won't remove, nor can I use it.

I go through the steps of removing it but can't. The boxes are grayed out. If I look for an update in the store is says "installed".

From the console I've even run

# find -name *astro* -exec rm -fr {} \;

and then run

# find -name *astro*

with no results. There is no trace of the application on the phone. But there it is in the app database/list. Can anyone help?

I found a very small and tidy .cab on here about a week ago that simply changed the filing order from Last, First, to First, Last. Now I've gone through 40 pages and CAN NOT find it to save my life. I found two other threads, one asking how to, the other with a MANUAL fix for this issue, but I simply can't seem to find this little .cab that does it for me perfectly.

If anyone stumbles upon it pretty pretty please lemmie know where it went!

THANKS!!!!! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] q426669:
Microsoft MyPhone backed up the .cab and I didn't even think about that! Haha.

For others with the same issue, search "Contact_Changer" OR I'll send the .cab if someone wants to host it for others to download!

Thanks XDA!

Hi.

I'm want to use nice manila menu (context menu to be clear) from HTC Touch Diamond. I think it's possible with not much work, because in newer version of software most of application including system apps have this nice menu.

It would be nice if this would be some kind of dynamic library loading with API or registry modification (which might be the case considering expansion over custom and system apps in new HTC devices)

I can't find anywhere any topic on this... but that may be because of common usage of words htc, manila, menu and contextmenu :D

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
If you want the finger friendly menus all the time, try this.

You may try my adjusted menu. The link is in the signature.

You can try to search HTC Menu Enhancement for sure!
[HD2 General] sunking101:
The A-Z letters down the rhs don't have any effect, I have to laboriously scroll through my entire contacts list or type the name directly. Does everyone have this problem?
[HD2 General] ohmz55:
Mine work fine

Have you tried aligning the screen?
[HD2 General] sunking101:
They respond as I can see them highlighted....but they do nothing, my contacts list does not jump to the names beginning with 'N' if I press the N on the list etc.
[HD2 General] dfulgo:
That's very strange, did you check whether maybe accidentally there're "blank" spaces at the beginning of the names?
[HD2 General] robertlewisca:
That is strange. Mine works fine as well. There are two different ways of scrolling, and two different behaviors shown on the screen as a result though. When using A to Z, it won't jump until you release your finger from the screen. However, when finger flipping in the middle of the screen, the contacts scroll as you swipe your finger. Don't know if that makes any difference in terms of what you're expecting to happen vs. what's happening with your device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
Attached is the HTC_IME from the HTC Android 2.1 rom. I have extracted the AndroidManifest.xml and I want to tweak it so that it thinks it is revision level 5 (Android 2.0) instead of 6 (2.1). This will allow us to attempt to install it on our Droids! Right now it wont let you cause of the version difference.

So I have the manifest extracted but since it's in some binary format I cannot spot the area to change the 6 to a 5!

Does anyone have any experience with this that can lend a hand?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
I've opened up this xml file with a hex editor and I can see this, but no number to change:

.v.e.r.s.i.o.n.N.a.m.e.....v.e.r.s.i.o.n.C.o.d.e.....m.i.n.S.d.k.V.e.r.s.i.o.n.....t.a.r.g.e.t.S.d.k.V.e.r.s.i.o.n.....n.a.m.e.....l.a.b.e.l.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pcm2a:
Ok so I have found the spot by trial and error and changed the 6 to a 5. Now it throws a digest error. Any easy

12-01 17:41:24.357: WARN/PackageParser(1015): java.lang.SecurityException: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF has invalid digest for AndroidManifest.xml in /data/app/vmdl69536.tmp

I guess thats cause I didnt change the SHA1-Digest. Is this even possible to calculate a new one?

Name: AndroidManifest.xml
SHA1-Digest: fEnI7fRlROXrwteoq4qvTr9c4zs=
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stearic:
Ok, so you going to release one that will work on 2.0 or 2.0.1 firmwares that doesn't do the htc check?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mighty07:
Hi pcm2a,

Seems you need to re-sign the full apk.

Clean the Manifest file from all the SHA1-DIGEST lines and signa again the apk file.

There is also the SignApk tool as well.

[HD2 General] Heidezv:
You can try to hard reset your divice. You can contact HTC, others could have had the same problem, so they might have the way to fix this.:)

hard reset dont change anything. Player crash just after i start it not later and when its crash i see in player tab on top in left side round thats move i think it when he search new song i have 3gb music on memory card mayby its to much for him..... Abaut that stop thinkg when i play song alredy i think something take cpu and thats why but its happen even in sleep mode when i have close other app....
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
It's because of Album Art. Make sure all your files are mp3 and if you have album art, make sure it's not bigger than 256x256 pixels and it is embedded in the mp3 files. If you follow these steps you'll be alright!

Hi i deleted mine thinking i can rely on hadcent app only but apparantly handcent needs the message app,

i receive the notification of a new txt message but when i go to handcent to read it, its not there in the conversation....

all i need is for someone to pull the message.apk and .odex file and upload it for me to download if they could be so kind...

thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Aridon:
Here you go. This is from Fresh Rom.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] izzystylez:
thanks but this is not what im looking for, i attempted to get the messages.apk and .odex file from all the roms available and its not there,

if you or anyone have droid explorer and can navigate to /system/app its in there and its called "messages.apk" , thats where i deleted mine from
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kynetx:
I think you only need the .apk. The .odex will be built once it gets some configuration data.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] izzystylez:
ok cool, hoping someone takes 5 mins out of their day to pull just the apk file for me
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
sorry, i was trying to help out but....

the FRESH rom doesn't have that .apk it uses a "mms.apk"

so i'm going to try to get this posted for you, but

that will require me to recover back to last week before fresh, then pull the .apk and then post it then nandroid restore back to today..

if anyone is running a stock rom then they can pull it. otherwise it will be about 30 minutes..:cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] izzystylez:
ok cool thanks ill be patiently waiting :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
alright....

these files are from my stock-unrooted phone

i couldn't find a "messages.apk" but i grabbed all these hopefully you can make it work.

the only thing i can think of is that the MR update "fixed it" by replacing the stock messaging app. that makes sense right?

View attachment 252234

edit:you could always flash the RUU and get them back.. or flash a nandroid backup from before you removed them.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] izzystylez:
got it working, it was the mms.apk file for some reaons it is labeled messages in droid explorer, lol shoulda tried this the first time around, not 4 or so nandroid restores later thanks guys =)

how did you re-install the stock messaging apk? when i try to do install it it acts like its installing then it just reboots and it does not install... i use to be able to receive pictures (mms) but now i can't receive at all. someone please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee! thx i have the apk's on my SD card does it need to be on my phone in order to install it? sorry im a noob at this.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] platypuss94:
if all else fails (i did the same thing because i wanted a better stock messaging app) you can install go sms. its basically the same thing as handcent but i think it looks more professional.

it actually asked me if i had uninstalled the default messaging app and told me that if i said yes then it would just make itself the default so that was nice and simple =)

good luck. if not permanent this can just be a quick fix.

if someone finds a stock android messaging app that has bubbles please tell me =)

Hi guys,

I was thinking the other day about the upcoming Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10, and how cool and different the interface was. This got me thinking.... why couldn't the OSS community produce something like this!

It seems that there are many different and innovative UI's available - XBox360 NXE, PS3, OSX iPhone etc. They all have merits and downsides, but each gives a unique experience.

Given all this, couldn't we come up with a new-age UI for Android, instead of the plan same-old one we have on AOSP now. Somthing which has animation, effects, sexyness ;) etc

This post is to try and see what people would like to see in "Android 3.0", which obviously doesn't exist yet, but I think you get the picture.
[Android Themes] erebusting:
well I can think of alot of ideas..but one to start off would be : complete customizeability i.e. customizations on the go such as editing of separate widget elements/colors etc...layout edits/saves/export-imports...different looks/UI styles not just one core style with customizations....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] qtype:
While there are new ROM's being published every day, I'm still sticking with the old Dutty's ROM's.

One of the biggest reasons is that that i can't customize the Quick menu application, that I use the most, so it can replace the new Start icon that is now placed in the lower left corner.

I've tried the new 28005 ROM's but the Quick menu still installs itself at the upper left corner where the old Start icon was and it works very badly.

I've tried to find a solution in the Quick menu application but was unsecessful.

Is there any solution for this, or maybe some other application that does the same thing, or will i newer go onto new Leo versions of the ROM? :(

[G1 Apps and Games] Cybrasty:
Hi,

I was looking on the market but couldn't find anything like it.

I am looking for an app that can setup different things under different circumstances. Exaple would be: disable calls to the phone when satnav is on, or even better play an mp3 (or text-to-speech) to the caller with message (i'm driving now, will call back) or sending a text to a caller.

Also change settings based on time/place ur in etc.

Any app that can setup chain of events if/when -> then would be good.

Wouldn't be cool when you're driving and your android would answer the phone for you with a prerecorded robotic message saying that you're driving and will call back later?

Does an app like that even exist?

I read something about an app that can change phone settings depending on your location, but i don't remember it's name.

Any help would be great,

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Apps and Games] Cybrasty:

Maybe someone is willing to create such application?

Even though Locale cant do all of those things, they do offer a plug in system. Having had a quick look at their documentation, it should be fairly simple to create one.

In the last rom´s that i use, all the W_M 6.5 version have the Auto close app feature to free automatically program memory. I have find out that with 60% of use of memory this feature begins to auto close all the app that i put on background. This can be a problem in the case where you wan´t listen music (S2P) and make something else in other app. It will be close S2P on the time you open the next app. Someone can check out any registry modification to disable this feature on the news rom??
