where to find this file?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] QuadDamage:
Dude he's bullshitting. If you try flashing that image over the 3.03/1.76.0007 you'll get a "main Version Older" error.

Ban that clown for spreading BS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
He isnt spreading bull****, the RUU did not flash system so the old one didnt have a version to be older than...

Read before you say something like that.

I found the file on a thailand forum that I can't find in my history, but I found the file by searching my history.

hxxp://suntharee.com/android/RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_signed_NoDriver.exe

I also found the file here in our forums, incase you feel the file maybe "suspect":

hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=548096

Hope this helps. :)

Edit: Note the "test" is the file name and this has ENG SPL, therefore I don't think its your run of the mill RUU.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 5[Strogino]:
Ok. That's an idea! We need a volunteer!

People, who have perfected SPL 1.76.0007 (or 1.76.0009)

According post above, we need make situation without system and data:

So, try erase them manually

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot erase data

-w - it erases userdata and cache

Then use goldcard and try RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sig ned_NoDriver.exe or other old RUU

Please post results anyway

p.s. It isn't dangerous, cause we erase system and data, you can get back working system via flashing RUU with 1.76.0007 again

p.p.s. Be carefull with battery. It must be > 60%

Don't think this method works for SPL 1.76.0007 with S=ON? Anyway, can give step by step here. I have 1.76 perfected SPL and I am willing to try it. Just don't end bricking my phone that's all.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rugga:
Has anyone tried simple running this "test" RUU?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geney:
Waiting for the 'safest' instruction to perform this task. :o
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkrle:
As already written,

fastboot erase system

gives

and with a fully flashed (radio/spl + boot/system) official senseui RUU RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sig ned_NoDriver.exe will result in "main version older" error even with goldcard

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Rugga:
You mean "will" as in you didn't test it?

I'm interested to see if anyone has actually tried it...

@geney there is no harm in trying to .exe, if it gives the error its before it has made any changes to your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hk5354:
can it run on RUU mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkrle:
I tested it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geney:
I just tested it (naked; No Goldcard or anything) with error:

It's in Chinese. I think that's what it means. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 01jayss:
sry im a newb but i was thinking...

it says on the guide to fix perfect SPL that you need a rom with version higher than the one you're using, since the new htc sense rom came out (3.05), and many of us are on rom 3.03.990.6 with 1.76.0007, would it be possible to get a non-perfected or engineering SPL and flash the 3.05 ROM which is higher than 3.03 to fix the perfect SPL?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] invadori7:
I was wondering that, too. Is it possible to see this happen?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mkrle:
You need a RUU (or HTC signed zip file) which has higher rom version number and at the same time *packed/signed* engineering SPL, just like in RUU_Sapphire_HTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.2_SEA_test_sig ned_NoDriver.exe . It's basically 2.53.707.2 ROM bundled with an engineering SPL.

We need the same thing (HTC signed 3.x ROM that comes with engineering SPL) but still, none has been leaked yet.

Or a kernel exploit.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geney:
Hmmm... Now I got a clearer picture of what's going on.

There is no way to 'downgrade' ROM right?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] fregor:
Not if your SPL shows S-ON (security ON)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kakouna:
is there any method to put s-off ?

*starting to feel regret getting this unit with perfected SPL.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] 01jayss:
is there someway to manipulate the phone by flashing an 2.53 rom with eng spl but changing the ROM version number to something like 3.05 so that error "main version is older" won't be a problem?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geney:
Feel so hopeless. Think just gonna sell off this phone. Either that or brick it and send in for mainboard replacement. Damn!!!

This is a simple fullscreen flashlight based on twolf sourcode http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=458269

modified to work with HTC Touch Pro 2 official rom v6.5.

At first, install Flash Player 7 for PPC. This app doesn't work properly with adobe flashlite, because it cannot modify registry values.

Download it here: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flash/devices/pocket_pc/installers/fp7_ppc_en.cab

And main app here:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rpmakeitso:
Did you intend to remove the extra features?

I was so glad to find your post, having spent hours today reading through all the twolf Flashlight v7 posts. I had settled for another poster's buggy re-packaged fullscreen version that addressed the white bars at top and bottom of the screen, disappointed that it still didn't set the screen to max brightness.

I thought I'd hit the jackpot with your modification, and indeed the modified version you've posted here does handle the brightness setting - yaay! However, on my device, clicking on the flashlight icon simply closes the application, whereas in the original app that opened the selection list for various types of lights such as candle, match, lighter, SOS, etc.

Was it your intention to extract just the basic bright-screen flashlight feature and dump all the "fun" add-ons? If not, any idea what might be going on with my installation of your mod?

Any help greatly appreciated. A repackaged flashlight that actually works on the TP2 would be awesome.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] petzku:
to easily make the flahlight to work without the adobe: just install Lumos, automated backlight software. you can set a custom backlighting to each program individually.

I originally had the Tilt.. love the tiltign screen and all tis features... then I upgraded to the Touch Pro (Fuze).. while I missed the tiltign screen, it has some otehr features I likes (liek a flashlight)... when I upgraded to the Touch Pro 2, I was sad to see no flashlight... now I am set!

Spoontorch is a simple flashlight app that doesn't require anything else to run. I have mine configured to turn on with the PTT button.
[HD2 General] gneville:
On my old phone (nokia n95) if I connected a bluetooth hands-free device (either sony car stereo or a ear-piece), then pressing and holding the button would allow me to speak the name of a person on my contacts list.

Is this possible on the HD2?

I have installed Cyberon Voice Speed Dial - and that does work, however it isn't ideals because

a) it needs training for every contact and

b) it doesn't react to the press of a button on my bluetooth devices.

Many thanks in advance
[HD2 General] thomas_pieps:
There is no native support like in a symbian os. So you have to use an app like the Cyberon...

I didn't find a better working prog yet
[HD2 General] gneville:
It seems rather ridiculous that such an 'advanced' phone cannot do this!
[HD2 General] thomas_pieps:
yes and no.

It is an expensive phone but its a great value/mony for a ppc. If you want a phone that does telephone stuff perfectly then you best go (back) to a normal model like a sony ericsson, nokia or samsung.

If you want a device capable of a whole lot of things then you have a ppc but with a ppc you have somethings that work not so good or even don't work at all...
[HD2 General] gneville:
Disagree, first and foremost it is a smartphone.

Bluetooth is not new technology, either . .?

Anyways, I don't really care for the why's and what-for's I'm just after a solution. .!

Hi,i just bought a HERO and i have problem to connect to internet (3g),when i try to browse i have a error "Connection Filed. This aplication requires network access. Enable mobile network or wi-fi to download data." But the mobile network is enabled 100%.

Help me pls:)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Ehm... That's not a lot of information to go on. ;)

How about telling us what network you're on, what country you're in, whether the phone you got came on the network or if it was sim free and what your current APN settings are. Also, try and find out the usuals, like what version of software your phone is running.

If you can get some of that info, I can take a look and see what's wrong.

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tadik:
ok,i am not sure,but i think this is unlocked phone from "Orange UK",i have a "orange" icon on the rear panel,and i have orange bookmarks,but it seem free. My operator is "cellcom" in israel,i created new APN with helpdesk of my operator,but its not solved the problem.

Firmware version: 1.5

build: 3.73.61.5 146733 CL#61267 release-keys

software version: 1.0.0.A6288
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
OK. So you've got some APN settings in. The ROM seems quite up-to-date (I presume you typod it, as I reckon it should be 2.73.61.5), and the phone may well be unlocked, but I'm not sure how your phones work in Israel for locking (being as it's branded as Orange, but sold by cellcom.

The error you are telling me about suggests your phone is not making any connection to the network whatsoever :( You could try comparing settings with a friend's phone if they are on cellcom too (preferably on hero, so that might be difficult).

Otherwise, you might need to get back onto cellcom, since I'm not aware of any problems other than settings (including, but not only APN).

I'd also make sure that wireless data is definitely turned on by clicking settings when the error appears, and checking Mobile Internet is turned on, and that it is set to always on for the moment.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tadik:
its not sold by cellcom:) the phone is from UK,but in israel i am in cellcom.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tadik:
just now burned rom modaco 2.9,burned ok all is ok,but i have still the problem.

i cant connect to the internet without wi-fi:(

still this error "Enable mobile network or wi-fi to download data" but its enabled and APN created...

maybe some problem with phone (hardware) ?

if i will not solve it today i think i will return the phone:(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
You might find it useful to actually list out your APN settings, because the problem is probably there!

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tadik:
the problem is solved,thx for all:)

problem was in APN settings.

found blog with all israel providers APN settings.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Yeah. I thought APN sounded suspicious in this case, foxmeister.

@tadik, any chance you could post the APN settings here (or a link to the blog) just incase someone else finds this post searching google. Could help someone else in this situation in future.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tvrf21:
I use handbrake at home to convert videos, but at the moment it seems to be a bit hit and miss when it comes to working it on the Nexus.

I've installed Meridian and Video Player from the market, both read videos the same way.

So I converted 5 videos with no problem, they were relatively short. But when I did a longer conversion (dvd which was 1hr 30) it just didn't like it. Plays on my PC fine.

I cant remember which settings I used, so can anyone recommend what settings to use in handbrake? Or is there better software to convert movies with? Or is there a better media player on the market?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
mp4 with h264. If I remember right there is still an iPod profile. The newer version did away with a lot of the profiles but that one should be around. With this screen you do not need to scale down the image but it would help for space.

When I get home I can post more detailed settings if need be.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] burton14e7:
I'm using Allok Mpeg4 converter at 720x480
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xtop:
i found using handbrake that h.264 doesn't work on the nexus, but the regular mp4 codec does
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] JanetPanic:
Not to be anal but mp4 is a container format (like ogg), not a codec (like vorbis). MPEG-4 part 2 is the "default" visual codec component. In reality it is not anymore. H.264 is also part of the MPEG-4 specification, MPEG-4 part 10 to be precise. In handbrake H.264 is the default for the mp4 container.

I am certain that h.264 can work on the N1. I have a few time wasters I keep on my phone. The more operative question is whether the current handbrake ripping to m4v works for the N1. I am reripping a film right now using the iPhone profile....

And using the iPhone & iPod Touch preset in Handbrake 0.9.4 the rip worked fine. Which preset did you use? Keep in mind some of the higher h.264 profiles might not work on the phone.

Personally I would probably up the picture settings to match the N1's resolution and maybe bump the quality down if worried about space. I was able to play a h.264 set to high settings but I am not sure what the exact settings were. It appears the N1 can handle most, if not all, h.264 profiles.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kscasper13:
ive done this, works perfectly with 720p mkv's

HANDBRAKE:

set vid profile to normal,

container: MP4 800 x 480 ,, check the keep aspect ratio, anamorphic off, bitrate 1500

audio AAC, 44.1khz, bitrate 96 stereo

save profile, load file

your jaw is gonna drop if you use these settings and encode a 720p mkv:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ryanmo5:
Thanks for the info, gonna try it right now :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] setzer715:
Just so you have optoins I use Handbrake, just converted American Pie The naked Mile from DVD and it looks good. Here's my settings:

Container: MP4 File

Picture Tab: Set Anamorphic to None

Select Keep Aspect Ratio. It should auto scale the hight to proper hight

Video Tab: Video Codec to MPEG-4

Average Bit Rate to 700. You can use previously recommended 1500 but this will make a large file and I'm not sure you will see the difference in

quality on out small screens.

Audio Tab: Leave everything default accept the Samplerate set to 44.1

Click Start!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m00moo:
800x480 with aspect ratio might aswel be 720x480

and the bitrate, as setzer said wont make to big of a difference on a small screen. 768-1024 are fine. 1500 appears to be a random number you chose as typical bitrates go from 768, 1024, 2048 etc
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kscasper13:
yea you can prolly set the vid bitrate lower, that's just what it was default and the movies come out perfect, i'm still testing other settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kscasper13:
yes it DOES make a difference, since our screen's are 80 pixels wider than 720:D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] m00moo:
t

u dnt seem to quite understand. a typical video is made to have certain resolutions. obviously by converting a video u wil want to maintain the original aspect ratio, unless of course u dnt mind watching a stretched un porportioned video. that is why most converters have preset res already set to keep those aspect ratios and quality.from what u already said, u are watching a video stretched 80pixels too wide.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] skillian:
16/9 is the closest we have to a ratio standard, and 720x480 doesn't match that.

If your source is more than 800 pixels wide, the best setting is to scale the width down to 800 and let the height scale down proportionately. On a 16/9 video, this will leave very thin black bars on the bottom and top of your phone's screen. If these bother you, you will need to fiddle with Handbrake's crop settings.

If your source is smaller than 800 pixels wide, then you should just leave the resolution the same as the source. Upconverting will not make the picture any better and will just increase the filesize/bitrate.

As for bitrate, I've found that 1000-1500 looks amazing if you are converting HD video, but if you're converting SD then around 750 is sufficient.

A non-widescreen source will leave black bars to the left and right on your phone - you can get around this in two ways - firstly by stretching the picture which looks ugly IMO, or by doing your own cropping of the top and bottom of the picture during conversion.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xtop:
you're right, didn't mean to say codec..thanks for correcting me :D

but it didn't seem to matter what i picked..normal, high profile, ipod touch, etc. anything i encoded to h.264 WON'T play. now maybe i'm overlooking something (likely), but who knows

edit: you handbrake users. do you change the audio settings at all? and do you do 2 pass, and would that help with anything?

i've noticed my encodes get a little blocky here and there, would 2 pass fix that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tvrf21:
Brilliant advice, worked a treat! :) Thanks a lot

I miss out "-s 800x450" if the source material is under that already, no point scaling it up when the N1 will do it for you. For 4:3 I'd use "-s 640x480"
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Smool:
I use the program Flash to Video PRO, to me has very much helps.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Ensane:
The reason why above poster chose 1500 bitrare when converting from a 720p video is because from what I have found to be the highest bitrate the N1 will support (or all the video players on the market atleast) btw use mVideoPlayer by far the best video player...

I might also add that the latest version of AnyDVD converter has a converting option built in for the nexus ... wich is basically the same as aboves post handbreak settings..
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
so, i'm seriously considering getting the nexus one. i've been wanting to get onto the android scene for a bit, but have been pretty happy with my current phone (touch pro), and the customer service i get with sprint. however, i do have some concerns/questions about your experience with the N1

google owns admob, i believe. i'm concerned about being bombarded with ads. personally, i use noscript and adblock plus on my browser, just so i don't have to look at ads while i browse, and i don't watch much television, because i can't stand ads there either. so, i'm wondering if there are applications available through android that block ads. particularly the ones that just 'pop up'. i mean, i loaded an android build onto my phone that i can selectively boot into, and immediately 'get 1000s of ringtones' popped up on the homescreen, courtesy of admob. that blows. i don't want my phone doing that. ever. and, i've seen that flash is coming to android, and i started laughing during adobe's announcement of such, because they actually said 'and that's how many ads are brought to you'. more suckage. i want fewer, preferably no, ads in my life.

also saw that current software doesn't allow for some video content (e.g. divx). are there workarounds for this? i have a lot of content that is divx encoded.

i'm mostly concerned about the limitations of android/nexus one, and ads. i mean, the htc hd2 is coming out soon, and it's running on a platform that at least i know there are oodles of workarounds for the things that are initially broken. and, i still kinda have my fingers crossed that wm7 will break this year (if ever) and fix some of the rather 'rough' edges of winmo.

opinions from people that have made the leap? anyone regret leaving the winmo platform? are any of my concerns valid?
[Nexus One General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
The Android platform has no advertising apart from when you enter the browser, same as any other mobile platform, you can get add block software from the Android Market to block this though as you would in your normal browser.

I'm not sure what you flashed to get dual boot into android on a winmo device, but I think this is an application rather than a ROM, as far as I know no one has ported android to a non android handset.

There are already other video players in the android market that support different video formats, and newer better software is coming out all the time, allot of devs will be jumping straight on the Nexus One.

I have previously used winmo on several devices and would say that android is by far the superiors operating system. Winmo is just far too limited. I have been using the G1 for almost a year now and doubt I would ever go back to another mobile operating system.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
here's how i did it, using eclair

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=104276

and, it is an application, that runs a linux shell over the winmo setup, i believe. but, it works, and it's recognized as such. post to facebook says 'posted from facebook for android'.

it's buggy, naturally. but, yeah, i did get the pop up window, on the home screen

Hi.

My problem is if i have a messenger program running, then minimize it, (i can see in the notification bar that it's still running). So what i do is open dolphin browser to surf the internet, after a bit surfing, i realize that i am not recieving any new messeges (yes, i have friends). So i try to open ebuddy just to find out that it logged me out.. I never happens if ebuddy is just minimized and i am at the home screen. I noticed it happens alot when surfing especially

While writing this.... oh.. could it be dolphin browser :O ?

(Btw. It happens after a little browsing, not instantly)
