guy above is very wrong.

I've been using a Nexus One with my 2.99 tzones for a while now.

I think the key is not buying a phone within the tmobile IMEI range. Since the N1 was sold directly by google and could work for both ATT and Tmo, it was outside of the range.

Maybe someone can confirm my reasoning but the Nexus One works great on tzones. I get 3g speeds easy
[Networking] manlisten:
I use a T-Mobile prepaid SIM with an unlocked Samsung Captivate and it works just fine, although on EDGE not 3G. I get the T-Zones website where I can manage my account. T-Mobile has also recently added a option for 24-hour data at $1.49 and that works as well.
[Networking] joshnchen:
Best Android phone that works on tzones is a WM phone. HD2. Flash android on it and you've got a stable android phone rooted and unlocked that works on tzones. Been using it for about 2 months now and it is AWESOME. Great thing is, the HD2 is cheap on craigslist.
[Networking] theabunai:
Tzones uses what ? Edge or 3g.

Wife has an hd2 I flashed a nand rom on it. Id like to know if for sure can switch out over to tzones and still get great speeds
[Networking] Black6spdZ:
I've had the 5.99 t-mobile for years.. been through all my Moto and HTC phones starting with the first smartphone good ole MPX200 "when data was free!" not many phones at the time could even use web! 3G works great on my Nandroid HD2 currently.
[Networking] coldest~~~:
N1 works on tzone. and yes, best phone that works best on tzone with 3g is the hd2 on android.

Yaye 2.1 for Rogers Magic mid 2010
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
This is the first OFFICIAL announcement of Android 2.1 + Sense UI on the HTC Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mydewji13:
WOOOOHOOOO!!! (although I won't actually believe it till it comes out)

This means Sense UI with proper SMS timestamp :D (not smsfixtimes workaround which sometimes doesnt work!!! :D :D:D:D:D )
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Thesniperz:
Hmmmm... 2.1 + SenseUI by mid-year..

Wonder what Android version Google will have at that time?

G_____? H____??

hopefully, it wouldn't be too late until it's released..

I'm not going to update with 1.5 + SenseUI, but maybe with the 2.1+SenseUI..

how about you guys?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stgeorge88:
still better than nothing. so won't complain.

having been trying out every single one of the mod roms, will try out both official ones for sure.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mikewood86:
Pretty good they actually changed their minds on it. I will update to 2.1 when that is released.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] DopyG:
I dont believe it :I

Sry but I just dont...

I've been fooled by carriers so many times...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ichijin:
Official email from HTC

http://www.iwantmyonepointsix.com/?p=92
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pjdpinheiro:
Very good news.

In fact only after sseing that will believe, but we hope other carriers update aswell.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
Nice.. they changed their minds.. probably too many disappointed customers.

now we just wait to see if they will hold up to their promise.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Phoenixstorm:
Would doing the update not be a good idea if I want to root? What if it makes it difficult or impossible to root. Would it be better to wait til someone makes some Roms based off the updates? Thx
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] magicdroid:
better wait for rooted rom that's based on the official one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pellen:
Waiting for a rooted rom based on the official shouldn't take that long :) Now it's just a loooong wait for this "mid year release"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pmow:
It isn't so much for Dream users, they're only getting 1.5 updated. Good thing I have a Magic :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] daeshawn:
Who caress. I gave up on rogers with their bs. Ill wait for the rooted rom with better add ons etc blahhhhhhhhh
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I'm not exactly excited about this... Seems Canada is always the last to get all the good stuff when it comes to wireless. I'm still waiting for an unlimited data plan like most other modern countries enjoy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] anzorb:
Sense UI, the hideous windows lookalike interface that hides the pretty/simple linux interface. I hope there will be an option to remove it... if not then iam sticking with cyan, or getting a nexus one..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gpmoo7:
Actually, this is Android 1.5 + HTC Sense and then Android 2.1. No one said that Android 2.1 + HTC Sense (Expresso) will be on the Magic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Tarantino5:
That's pretty awesome. I have a Rogers HTC Magic unlocked and on the AT&T network and I am running Cursordroids 9.6 rom. If I put the stock rom on there and return to the stock radio, will I get the OTA update? Or will the update only be pushed through the Rogers network?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kerdum:
Hah I hacked my phone for nothing!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
You're almost a year ahead of Rogers on the HTC Sense ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] crisvillani:
Actually that is exactly what they said they will update 2.1 with Sense.

"By mid-year, HTC will issue an upgrade to Android 2.1, including the highly acclaimed HTC Sense experience for the HTC Magic."
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gpmoo7:
I read that on MobilerSyrup.com ... will see ...

Anyway, we (XDA users) already have access to Android 1.5 + HTC Sense et Android 2.1 + HTC Sense is not so far ... so I just care for the regular users.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
"By mid-year, HTC will issue an upgrade to Android 2.1, including the highly acclaimed HTC Sense experience for the HTC Magic"

Word for Word from:

http://mobilesyrup.com/2010/01/05/o...o-android-2-1-by-mid-year-dream-not-so-lucky/

Meaning we're basically getting the same update as the Hero.

As far as I know this is the first announcement of this sort for any HTC Magic 32A.

When we first heard of Sense UI officially making it to the Magic it was given to the Taiwanese HTC Magic first and allowed us to port it to our Magic and works to near perfection.

Sure we have Sense + 1.5 but the Timestamp bug which is still unfixable will be finally done with a dump of the RUU of 1.5 + Sense UI for OUR HTC Magics.

And so far the 2.1 + Sense UI are still beta and so things like Bluetooth and Camera will finally work with an official 2.1 + Sense UI RUU dump.

This is great news for people who root their devices as well.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] linuxluver:
Sense UI Compulsory?

Having seen the Sense UI in a variety of ROMs, I've to think of it as bloated eye candy. Hop it's an option...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kimchi0400:
Bloated eye candy? Sense was the smoothest (if not only) way to have contacts synced with Facebook in 1.5. I personally find the widgets useful (twitter, message, calendar, music, battery and weather widgets are all on my home screen), and the reskin done are fairly consistent and elegant. If 2.1 is supposed to be full of performance optimizations, it should run even faster than before.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
Why they are waiting till mid of the year? Its driving me crazy to think of this weird marketing strategy.

I think they should keep in mind that we all already have buyed an android phone, so most of us sure will not buy a milestone or a nexus just to get eclair or flan.

I really don' t understand why it takes so long for this update, because we all know most things are already ported to eclair and eugene have the missing driver for the camera, so theres nothing left to do in this half year...

I' m really pissed, cause even a ipod touch 1gen get the updates at the same time as the iphone 3gs...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
I agree it could be a marketing ploy to boost sales and they must have noticed decline in HTC Magic and Dream sales owing to earlier decision (not upgrading). Let us hope sense prevail and they still can provide upgrade sooner rather than waiting till mid-year (in technology products 6 months seems 600 years)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
Exactly that's the point. When we get flan all the new phones will have android 2.6 or 3.0 and we are still the fools, because we supported the android OS since the early days...

Why doesn't HTC sell the drivers for eclair to us? I think a lot of people would pay a few bucks (including me) to keep their phones up to date.

Maybe we can get an arrangement with eugene who has them already...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paindoo:
The drivers that eugene has are test drivers, may not work correctly.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Totally agree, I would have already switched to a donut rom but the social network integration and message and email widgets are a must have for me.

I'm wiling to live with a little lag and micromanaging with a task manager just to have sense ui.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
Hope it doesn't sound stupid, but if the drivers are for testing purpose, the more testers the easier and faster it would be finding bugs. Or am I wrong?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] *child:
The delay might be in part due to HTC. Maybe they don't want to take any thunder away from their upcoming phones with Eclair/SenseUI (like the Bravo :drool:).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
I don't see how it would, the Bravo compared to the Magic would be like an F1 car racing with a Mustang.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] *child:
True, but if I had an Eclair/SenseUI device before the Bravo comes out, it might delay my purchase of the Bravo. If the Bravo comes out before I am able to upgrade my Magic with Eclair/SenseUI, I probably won't be able to wait and just purchase the Bravo instead.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] paranoidpenguin:
But how many would buy a phone every half a year just to get an update of an OS that then will be never updated again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] xluthor:
This is great news - As others have said, I'll believe it when I see it.

Who is actually responsible for providing the upgrade - HTC or Rogers?

Meaning - Has HTC released an Eclair update for the Magic / Saphire?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
I think we just need to be a bit more patient. Don't forget that mobile companies always think about profits first. They propably wait to sell more Android 2.0 and 2.1 devices before releasing it to older ones. 2.1 has just been released for the Nexus One so I'm sure that when they will have sold enough of these, 2.1 will be comming to us. This is all about marketing strategy.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] blizard80:
i think its 100% this!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChe:
I am already running the official Sense UI for the magic(3.03, Android 1.5 ) , on my Rogers 32a installed with gold card... It is pretty nice. I will do the 2.1 for sure... I want it so bad!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
Honestly, Android isn't ubiquitous enough to adopt that strategy.

If someone has followed Android close enough to know the differences between 1.5/1.6 and 2.0/2.1 then they probably already know that their 1.5/1.6 handset will be getting the update.

So really you aren't going to increase your chance to sell an Android device by saying "It has Android 2.0/2.1!" if they don't even know what benefits they get for Android 2.0/2.1 over Android 1.5/1.6
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Howler62:
Im still waiting for our own official 3.03 dont understand why we didnt even get that
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
I'm not sure I fully understand your point but what I was trying to say is that companies must have some kind of exclusivity for a while when releasing a new version. That's why we need to wait. And I don't agree when you say they don't know the benefits between versions as there are huge improvements that I can't wait to use on my phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
Hi, im from UK and very tempted to get the nexus one, it looks and sounds like a very cool phone and dont want to wait till it comes to UK on vodafone. I thought about buying it from google in the U.S but seems like a big con for UK buyers, as we have to pay almost £200 more for £329 from shipping and import taxes and ebay sellers are selling it for way over £500 odd, so im gutted about that... so i now read here that magic is getting 2.1 with sense.....bout time google pay attention to the magic :-D but is that for all magics? is it for non branded magics 32A only or for both magics 32A non branded and 32B google branded magics ????.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Taknarosh:
What I mean is that exclusivity is over blown as a selling point to new perspective customers.

A carrier's sales rep won't increase his chances of netting a new customer by stating which version of Android the phone is running.

If a particular person is interested in an Android phone and has done his research, he would know which device would be getting a 2.0 update and which wouldn't.

So really it comes down to hardware, let's fast forward 6 months from now and assume the HTC Bravo (think Nexus One with Sense UI) is out with Android 2.1 and Sense UI. Say the Android 2.1 + Sense UI is out for the HTC Magic as well.

Do you REALLY believe that because the HTC Magic has the Android 2.1 + Sense UI Update it would limit the sales of the HTC Bravo?

Common give me a break.

That's like saying the iPhone 3G would limit the sale of the iPhone 3GS because they both have the iPhone 3.1 OS.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
You're talking 6 month from now. Pretty difficult to guess. What I believe is, apart from a hardware perspective, that people in the US using the G1 from the early days could be tempted to get the Nexus One because it runs the latest version of Android. If 2.1 was already available for the G1, people might just hesitate a bit more to get the Nexus One. It means a lot of money, something companies just can't ignore.

EDIT: Anyways, I don't even know why I'm arguing as it seems so obvious to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] maxon25:
For me i would get the nexus one or bravo not because of what firmware its on but what hardware it has. For example i have htc magic and LG renoir because the renoir takes excellent pictures and records and plays avi's and magic because its amazing for web brousing, i want a phone that has it all in one handset. The iphone is only big because of itunes and apps... thats all its got, other then that its a very VERY basic phone, i mean dam it had to have a big update just to send mms messages and it could copy and paste lol. So like the android phone so far they are excellent but lack the basic features like full bluetooth, good camera with flash, avi play back. So each android phone that comes out comes with better hardware then older ones, hero had sense, droid has 2.0 with camera with flash and maybe bit more ram, nexus one has good camera with flash, bigger ram and rom, 1ghz processor, then you get sony xperia x10 8meg cam with flash, 1ghz processor but smaller ram then nexus one and on 1.6 for now. Then to finish it off with bravo that may have same firmware 2.1? but has 600mhz processor, think 5meg cam with flash but can record video in 720p. So when it comes down to it, its about the hardware, finding the right android phone that does everything, latest firmware and top end hardware. Seems to me The good phones like Android phones and apple iphone have gone backwards in the hardware.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rqqk:
the g1 isn't getting the 2.1 update, only the magic 32a..

so clearly this has nothing to do with the early adopters.. anyone with a g1 is realizing that they are almost at the point where they can't squeeze anymore out of there device and if they want to move forward, are going to have to upgrade anyway.. I work for rogers here in canada and can truthfully tell you, the update for the magic is not going to be released because of the requests from the consumer, it is to directly compete with the htc hero that TELUS has the exclusive rights for here in canada.. sad but true.. the reason behind the wait till mid 2010 is because thats when they will be releasing the sony ericsson x10a and a few other 2.1 devices and that will be the advertised lineup to compete against all the other mobile carriers.. lets them re-sell the magic along with the other devices as a "new" device.

anyways.. sorry if i sound like im telling anyone off lol.. really not my intention.. just sharing some info that might not be common knowledge :)

btw, everyone here, keep up the great work, you help alot of people get the most out of their handsets, and have taught alot of people alot of things. keep up the great work!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Yeah the G1 is definitely getting dropped.

I wonder if HTC Hero for TELUS is timed exclusive or will it eventually be released for Rogers.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rqqk:
Well from what i've heard, the hero is never going to make it's way to rogers officially.. but.. ever since telus and bell decided to change their network and use sim cards, canada should finally start getting a larger selection of handsets.. good news for us ;)

but for anyone in canada that really wants a hero, the telus one will work on rogers as long as you know what your doing lol.. but no contract will run $499.00 CAN so i'm sure it would be cheaper on ebay for one that's also already unlocked?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Rumors say 2.0 or 2.0.1 is coming to the G1. Not Rogers of course. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] rqqk:
hmmm, that would be great for g1 users.. i wonder if the hardware can keep up as android keeps growing? eventually the g1 will be pushed to its limit.. 2.0 would be cool if it will run as smooth and quick as it should on the magic or hero?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] MMartins:
isn't the same CPU that equips magic hero and G1?!

i don't see why it will be dropped before magic and etc..

so befor june no sence even on 1.5 for magic?! :(

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sysdmg:
Just a heads up to rogers users with an htc dream. They are offering free upgrades to htc magics (as in you dont have to give back your dream) all you have to do is either call them or go to the online page and click "upgrade my phone" im waiting for mine in the mail. Should be here within the week :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ma401:
Yep, I just did my upgrade online as well.. looking forward to getting my Magic sometime next week... though I really don't know if I'll be using it any more than my Dream!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Is there any charge for the upgrade like shipping or renewing contract? And you can keep your Dream? Wow!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] looktall:
seems to be free.

http://mobile.engadget.com/2010/01/13/rogers-htc-dream-upgrade-plan-is-official-still-free/
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
So does that go both ways? If I already have a Magic I can get a Dream for free?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcos:
I'm wondering the same, though doubting it very much..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] darvo:
Guys you got to be kidding. There are two external links in the previous posts that explain the issue and the email I quoted in the previous page explains it all too.

People got pissed with Rogers because they would not upgrade over 1.5. Then they managed to get HTC to provide with a 2.1 update but unfortunately the Dream will not get it because of hardware restriction. That's why Dream users may get the Magic.

Not the other way around, Rogers is not giving phones away, they are giving satisfaction to Dream users that would've been stuck to Cupcake for ever.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] pokizo:
Hello,

Does anybody know resource ID of repllog.exe, ActiveSync client program on Windows Mobile 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5 ?

Here is the list of the items I'd like to know the resource ID for.

1) "Menu" -> "Connect via Bluetooth"

2) "Menu" -> "Disconnect"

3) status static text around bottom of the windows which shows "Connected" and "Synchronizing" for example

I'd like to develop a software to manage automatic connect/disconnect through ActiveSync with Bluetooth to save the battery consumed by continuous BT connection.

I'd like to send the window massages to repllog.exe to take a control (BT connect and disconnect automatically by timer), but I have no idea how to know the resource ID of the items above.

I tried to open repllog.exe with a resource editor, but it's not accessible maybe because of repllog.exe is a part of ROM program. Copy is not allowed either.

Thank you for your help.
[HD2 General] laxity:
I was sorting the start menu icons on my HD2 today and I now seem to have broken the HTC_Music, HTC_Calendar, HTC_Footprints, HTC_People, HTC_Twitter icons by moving them into a folder called HTC. After a soft reset ugly plain generic icons were automatically created in the root of the start menu and the ones I moved into the HTC directory were also reset to ugly ones. I tried copying back the ones I moved back but they still remain the same. Any idea how I can fix these broken icons?

Cheers,

Richard.
[HD2 General] ant0800:
try this tweak:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEnable

Change to 0 and soft reset.
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
That happened to me, but I didnt change anything for that to happen. I dont use the shortcuts and that is was HTC Sense is for, so I just deleted them...was that a rash decision?
[HD2 General] SmirRage:
I tried the above registry edit, but it is just not working for me. The icons in the start menu are still bland icons.

after making the registry changes, did you delete the icons and soft reset?

Hi there

After some encouragement, a bit of help from from Chainfire, seeing Manescout4life do it on the eXpo, and a bit of head scratching, I finally got a ROM dump from the LG IQ ..

..yes the disk is called DSK1: not FLASHDR !!!!

It is a LG monaco, like the LG eXpo, only it has a slightly newer windows version - 5.2.21868.5.0.69

Hope it helps to encourage a chef or two!
