[HD2 General] apoc286:
Well really your insurance is for accidental damage and I can't see a rom affecting that. If your phone gets run over by a truck the rom won't have made it more or less likely to happen. If it gets stolen I'm fairly sure the thief won't have checked to see if it was running an official rom or not before stealing it. Besides if it gets destroyed or stolen how will they know what rom version it was running ;)

Look I'm not saying there is no risk at all, or that you definately will or won't get warrenty cover if you flash, IT IS a risk but imho it's a very small risk that you'll be completely caught out.
[HD2 General] itoYo:
guys, i beg to differ i am queit sure (deffinite actually) my mate has co pilot trial and you tube installed as standard. not sure about the printer bit!

this i am sure of ! and he got from t-mobile with a staff discount

unless his escaped the rebranding, this cannot be!
[HD2 General] Adams_42:
Whether or not flashing the rom makes it more or less likely that it got run over is irrelevant - any terms put in insurance contracts are strict and under UK law, insurance is a contract of utmost good faith. If they ask you "did you ever pick your nose as a kid" and they find out you lied when you said no, well then they can refuse to pay out on the cover. Doesn't matter that the question or issue is 100% irrelevant to what happened. (EDIT: maybe too extreme an example - I think they have to be able to say a different answer would have affected the premium. The back example below is better :))

The best example is with critical illness and life insurance policies. If you said no, I've never had back problems and then they find out you had problem as a 12 year old due to growing pains, they can refuse to pay out when you're diagnosed with breast cancer... (sorry for slightly off topic rant, but insurance companies are bad ;))

On topic - I got my HD2 this week on T Mobile, but via an internet company rather than direct from them. It doesn't seem to be altered to be t mobile in any way, and seems to be functioning mostly fine. I got a text message from t mobile saying: "To make the most of all the great T-Mobile services on your phone you'll need the correct settings. Simply reply to this text for free and we'll send them to you."

I've ignored this, as I was worried it may end up installing nasty t mobile firmware or something. It usually connects to the internet etc.. fine. The only issue I've got is that sometimes the weather doesn't update and it sometimes seems to lose the data connection. Should I reply to t mobile's message?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andybz:
For reference, the phone is:

Sapphire PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H

HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-12

RADIO-3.22.20.17

I've used a couple of different SPL's and radios. Never makes any difference.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] rodnitski:
hate to say this, but I've gone thru 2 HTC Magic's from Rogers and both were doing the random re-boot, seemed especially while the screen was off (sleep mode?) and getting a text or a phone call. The worst thing was that the last phone, which was a warranty replacement, wasn't even rooted yet but had the FACTORY IMAGE still. :eek:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andybz:
Standard operator ROMS (with the HTC kernel) are fine.. so this isn't a problem like that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kerdum:
I have the EXACT problem! How do I know which ROMS have an HTC kernel though?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] andybz:
I've done a lot of trial and error. I've tried so many ROMS, and it seemed that any custom kernel has these reboot problems.. and you can only get Android 1.5 ROMS with HTC kernel :(

You can find out your kernel version in Settings -> About Phone. It'll have 'htc' in there if it's a HTC kernel. On my G1, I've got 2.6.29-cm42 for a Cyanogen kernel for example.

I've flashed the phone now with a generic carrier ROM, just so that it would be stable. Not happy about doing it.. but at least it works. I image that it'll never even see Android 1.6, because they'll never release it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jerome.jh:
Here it a script I made to launch tomtom on the SGH-i780. Part of readme.txt is pasted below:

The script i780_tomtom.mscr allows Tomtom Navigator to be launched reliably on the Samsung SGH-i780.

How it works:

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

Copy the i780_tomtom directory and its content on the device, not on the storage card.

If you have Mortscript already installed, simply launch i780_tomtom.mscr.

If you do not have Mortscript, first launch MortScript-4.2-PPC\MortScript.exe so that it registers some file extensions. Then launch i780_tomtom.mscr.

What does it do:

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

It sets up a virtual COM port.

It launches a GPS program that always succeeds in initializing the GPS chip.

It sets the sound volume to the maximum.

It launches Tomtom Navigator.

Configure Tomtom with: other NMEA / 4800 / Virtcom on COM8

When Tomtom quits:

It restores the sound to its previous level and closes everything.

If all goes well, the only remains are a bunch of keys in the registry, and a DLL copied in \windows directory.

It may sounds a bit complicated, but personally that is the only reliable way I have found to launch Tomtom.

[HD2 General] Archer:
Does anyone know how to refresh the thumbnail images used for favourite shortcuts on the internet tab?

I added one that took me to a login page, and I'd rather it showed the page I actually get now that I've logged in and got a cookie for auto-login. A bit pedantic, yeah, but I want it refreshed.

I've already tried 2 things, but neither of them works.

I located and deleted the thumbnail image (\Windows\Thumbnail), and now can't get it to create a new one.

I've removed the shortcut, and added it again as a new one, but it still remains "empty".

Any ideas anyone?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I'll answer my own question, in case anyone else ever wants to do this!

I think removing the shortcut and then adding it again may do the trick, but my deleting the thumbnail may have caused an additional problem, so that wouldn't work any more.

What I did to resolve the issue was to edit the favourite. It was a URL with a querystring on the end (it was www.blahblah.com?something=stuff&this=that etc..) I just added &bllx=1 (bollocks = 1 :)) and it now sees it as a new URL.

If you're not particularly techie, that might sound like gibberish to you, so if anyone ever comes across this thread and wants advice, send me a private message, as I'll probably miss it if you ask on here.

I'm surprised as no one has released a good Phone Call recorder.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] kendong2:
afaik there is a restriction in the android system, which prevents phone calls from being recorded except the handsfree speaker is on. might be legal issues.

Ehmmmm. Could you point us to this app, as I can't see it in market, and only mention I see of it is for the iPhone. Does it exist as an Android app yet?

I thought it was a hardware/firmware restriction so I don't quite believe this works fully (although I would love to be proved wrong:rolleyes:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] edjeed:

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperia2009:
Hi,

I recently got X1 for myself. Finally managed to get Mobile Navigator 7 (7.4.3 build 793)to work with my external bluetooth GPS.I am pretty happy the way it works but have one issue:

in 2D mode I can perfectly see the triangle (that shows my vehicle) on the map but in 3D mode that triangle is behind street names boxes....

It isn't a huge problem but would be good to know is there any work around this.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jchan:
I know this question may have been asked before but What are the advantages and disadvantages running a External GPS unit instead of an internal one?.

My experiences are:

Advantages: Longer battery life on Handset

Disadvantages: Losing Bluetooth connection during a journey - but I have not yet had this happened to me. More units & cables to carry around.

Back to back test between my TYTN 2 and a Spv3100 is I get 2hrs on the TyTn 2 running internal and 7 hrs on the handset on the Spv 3100 (the BT receiver lasted over 24 hrs).

Everytime I connect phone to pc or I take out microsd for data transfter using microsd adapter, private album folder reset itself...

Is there any registry key or something so I can force to stay the same folder?

Album always stays as it should when I turn on the phone, but it only reset itself when I want to use microsd with computer...

And when I edit my microsd I dont use albums so I don't know why phone checks if folder exist...?

Hi, I've recently got myself a Topaz and when using my home wifi I get a very poor signal even when I'm right next to the router. I get about 1 or 2 bars. I've tried to change the performance to battery ratio setting with no luck. Any input on this matter will be much appriciated.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] abzza:
That is a radio problem.

Check current radio version, it should be 4.49.25.17 if you are running new official ROM with win6.5

No prob...

Take a look here, read it good and then flash one of the newest radios... ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ShAdOwfOx032:
I'm reading the newest one drains battery and that the older version is better. Have you had any problems with the newest radio?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] koen-ronse:
I use the newest and no probs. But it is depending of your operator, the place where you live, what connections you use most... and so on...

So, try, try and try... the latest ones... ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ShAdOwfOx032:
Just updated the radio and its all working perfectly. I'm finally getting full bars on signal from my router. First time doing anything to my phone and it was quite easy with all your help. Thank you to everyone.
[HD2 General] Russinating:
I'm sure there's lots of people experiencing the same problem as me: a couple of my SMS conversations are huge, and as a result I have to wait a good 20-30 seconds before I can start typing every time.

Deleting them isn't really an option - I'm the kinda guy who doesn't like to delete anything and I like to have a record. Either way, deleting 30+ text messages at the end of every day isn't the most efficient use of my time anyway.

Does anyone have the skills to make, or know if anyone has already made, either:

- A patch that limits the number of texts shown in a conversation, OR

- A patch that allows you to start typing before the whole history has loaded.

It's the only thing frustrating me about the HD2 and it'd be a godsend to have it fixed.

Thank you in advance :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] mvalenci:
I write a C# app for WindowsMobile.

in order to get a nonrecursive folder size i have this routine:

static long GetDirectorySize(String path)
{
long size = 0;
String []files = Directory.GetFiles(path);
foreach (String f in files)
{
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(f);
size += fi.Length;
}
return size;
}

now, my directory (in Storage Card) has about 1000 files that has about 4MB of data alltogether.

the GetDirectorySize takes forever to execute (60 seconds or so) and provide a horribole user expericnce.

executing this in a thread does not help either - i need the response as fast as possibole.

I was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to get folder size (nonrecursive) more rapidly.

in general, i also want to find the older file in the directory and delete it (kid of cache operation). how do i do that without waiting forever to complete?

storing an index file might not be what i'm looking for.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dgaud007:
I don't know about C#, but in C++ I use GetDiskFreeSpaceEx function, see HERE.

PS,

I think this goes in the Q&A forum?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mvalenci:
This does not help with Folder size.

My intention is to manage Cache folder and monitor its size and clear out some cached files in case the cache size of the folder is too big.

getting the disk size is not the way to deal with folder size :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dgaud007:
You can use it for individual folders, as the folder name is the 1st input parameter. I've used at least for \My Documents which is a regular folder and it works. Here is an excerpt from MSDN:

As per MSDN, here is how you implement it in C#:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError=true)]
internal static extern bool GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(string drive, out long freeBytesForUser, out long totalBytes, out long freeBytes);
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mvalenci:
I tested GetDiskFreeSpaceEx.

- The coredll has to be used instead kernel32dll (for WindowsMobile).

- the TotalBytes returns the SD card size (on which the folder exists)

- the freeBytesForUser equals FreeBytes and returns the free space in the SD card

this does return the folder size.

appreciate further help.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dgaud007:
I double checked and you're right. Looks like you'll have to recurse while adding the individual sizes. I couldn't find an easier method in a brief search in google. Sorry about the confusion!

PS,

checkout this app...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
I'm not that much of a C# expert but isn't the 1000 times calling "new" slowing down? I'd try to write a traditional C++ application using simple FindFirstFile and FindNextFile functions and compare speed towards the C# application. If it's faster then you can just build a C++ DLL and PInvoke her. I'm not sure if results are better but at least it's worth a try.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mvalenci:
solution found

I managed to resolve this and get a speedy result by replacing with this code.

all the best.

private static long GetDirectorySize(String path)
{
long size = 0;

[COLOR="DarkGreen"] /* Slow code
String []files = Directory.GetFiles(path);
foreach (String f in files)
{
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(f);
size += fi.Length;
} */[/COLOR]

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(path);
FileInfo []fi = di.GetFiles();

for (int i = 0; i < fi.Length; i++)
size += fi.Length;

return size;
}

[HD2 General] coffeboy23:
I had a very simalar problem on my HD2. The phone would say it was connected and my car radio would allow me to change tracks and play pause and stop the music but the audio would not come through the stereo. I found that if I allow the hands free audio profile to connect first then manualy connect the a2dp profile for stereo bluetooth it works perfectly. I went into my car stereo setting and turned the stereo bluetoth auto connect off and then I turn the car on and it connects to just the hands free profile. Then in the blue tooth settings on the phone I can click on the bluetooth stereo profile to connect it manually. I dont know how to make a regular stereo blue tooth head set do this but I hope it helps.
