Tried to install this yesterday, from the worldwide HTC site

I followed the instructions on their site - same process as installing the .cab hotfix files..... downloaded, copied to the fone, clicked on it from inside the fone.. expected it to install

i'm not getting the Invalid Vendor error message that others seem to be getting... but i DID get a "this is not a valid cab application" type error notice... cant remember the EXACT wording, but it was somethign to that effect, but definitely NOT anything about invalid vendor

my fone is an unlocked - unbranded unit purchased thru an Australian dealer, from Hong Kong

are the install instructions on the website incorrect? should i be running the RUU file from my computer, while synched up, to install this?

or am i doing the process wrong, and need to install it directly from the file i've copied onto the fone???

any help greatly appreciated..... i've owned my fone for 3 days now, and already i can agree that the battery life is ridiculous.... i hardly used my fone at all for the first day (just returned to work after christmas holidays, the day before fone arrived, so didn't have time to play with it all day)... fully charged it overnite the day i got it..... next day, made about 3 short fone calls... set up the fone with basic settings, sent & received a few test messages, and by day's end, the battery was down to about 55% already..... no web browsing, no using it for business applications !!!!!

AHH HELL !!!!!

Thanx CyberClaw..... In my haste to install the hofixes last nite, I didnt clearly read the install instructions for this RUU...... I didn't notice that it says run (tap) FROM PC, as the install instructions all looked similar to the other hotfixes.

Suggestion to HTC: on your downloads website.... try to fit everything on 1 screen....... so you don't have to scroll down the page to read the install instructions, and click on the selecta-boxes for downloading.... this is one reason why I missed the specifics of installation.

Also... suggest that you re-code that page, so that there are icons, or CLEAR BOLD UNDERLINED FLASHY WRITING TO CATCH YOUR ATTENTION, as to whether you "Download/Copy File to & Install from Fone" or "Download to & Install from PC, while Synched"

Thanx again... one mistake made - hopefully i'll remember now to CLEARLY READ the exact instructions, instead of assuming it's the same process as others
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CyberClaw:
Made the same mistake myself the first time, then I looked at the file and noticed it was an exe not a cab ~_~;;

NO SIM Contacts Hotfix for HD2 bought in Hong Kong

Just got reply from HTC Hong Kong that the SIM Contacts Hotfix is not for Hong Kong. They have already removed the downloading link for this hotfix in the Hong Kong website. Wonder what is HTC policy that people bought device elsewhere and some places cannot get radio upgrade.

:confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] angler:
A new hotfix can be downloaded from HTC Hong Kong website:

<QUOTE FROM HTC WEBSITE>

Update for HTC HD2 AGPS Settings

Release Date: 2010-01-12 Category: Update

<UNQUOTE FROM HTC WEBSITE>

HTC has removed the SIM Contacts Hotfix and replaced by this one. Wonder they have stated INCORRECT instruction that tap the RUU.exe file on your PC .... which actually is tap the exe file on your HD2 instead.

After running the exe file and soft reset, the radio version will change to 2.05.51.05_2 as seen in my device.

Anyone who has error code "294 INVALID VENDOR ID" after running the SIM Contacts RUU.exe file may try to install this hotfix if you bought the device in Hong Kong.

Hello, I installed this update from French HTC web site. Now it seems that I have more cracking in my HD2 earspeaker than before the update. As it seems it's a radio update (2.06.51.07), how can I go back in order to see if it really degrades the sound quality ?

I was running ROM 1.48 with the embedded Radio version (the 04 I think). Should I just re-installed ROM 1.48 ? Does this ROM embed the 04 rom version ? Is it possible to download only the 04 ROM version ?

Thanks for your help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] angler:
You simply hard reset your device will go back to the original ROM you bought.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] CyberClaw:
I doubt that would work.

When I hard reset recently, the ROM and Radio stayed the same.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mb:
I'd agree with that. Noticed it this morning whilst waiting to be connected. Reminded me of an old landline where the connection is dodgy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rob-ra:
I installed the update, no probs at all... It instantly connects to 3g (so I don't know what other people are complaining about, maybe it's the 3g network not the phone?). I checked the music on speaker and earplug before and after installing the update and it didn't change (maybe a negative placibo effect or crappy earplug?).

Also before the update I had a problem with the music player, if I changed the music volume my htc would freeze for 5 - 30 sec, If I switched to another tab and changed the volume the problem was gone. After this update this problem is gone for good for me.

After installed the Update . . .

The changes on Radio & Protocol Version. :cool: :cool:

Guess what, all data stayed not erased.

(At first I taught is something like Hard Reset) :) :)

Installation took about less than 5 mins.

Didn't see any changes at all . . .

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mk2media:
installed this update and my battery is the worse for wear. within ten mins ive watched it go from 93 to 89% even though nothing is happening. at this rate it wont make it through the day. is there any way of reverting to the post update radio version? this is terrible. by the time ive finished typing this its now 88
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bel_z_bub:
I agree my battery consumage is way worse then it was.. while I installed this radio version for better battery life, as people here reported that..

battery drain? I have the patch and no problems there.if you keep looking at the phone with the screen on for 10 minutes .. it might decreaas .. it's a big screen :P

As a total day usage I did not notice any battery issue
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bel_z_bub:
I'm talikng doing nothing.. before with all the same settings it drained 1% an hour when I did nothing.. now it's almost 4% and when you start using stuff it really goes fast..

I never had troubles with the HD2 but all my troubles started with this radio version.. just 5 minutes ago I wanted to look at my phone and it wouldn't wakeup.. not even a light at the buttons.. it also would not start.. a soft reset solved it but I never had this before.. and it drain 20% of the battery since I last looked just 2 hours before..

does flashing a total ROM downgrade my radio version? I want back to 2.05..

I do not use ActiveSync since I use Blackberry connect on my Rhodium device (for email purposes). Have read somewhere that if one uses BB Connect, the should avoid using ActiveSynce. Looking for a user friendly application to manage my contacts. Or is it ok to use BB Connect for Email and ActiveSynce for Contacts (synchronise with MS Outlook)?

So now that some of us have a cradle for our devices we would need some apps that start automatically when plugged in. I know that device does not see it as a cradle device but just as a USB sync cable however there is a way.

We would need to use G-Sensor and Proximity sensor. When Leo is in certain position with power connected start xxx app.

What do you think, any developers on here care to help out. I could donate towards that, even buy finished product.

My idea of apps to start is something like navipanel with shortcut for music player, loud speaker always on like in navipanel only overridden when bluetooth on/off. A app that starts with 8 shortcuts on screen and does the said thing with loud speaker. Also we would need to be able to select what apps we want.

That would be cool, would it not?

Hey!!

I´m trying to make a clock for MaxManila, using cfc_gui.exe to play around with the png files. As long as I have correctly read the manual (*g*), I should get a "windows" folder and the modified png files when using the "export" button. Curiously everthing works fine, cfc_gui.exe saves the png files in the directory of my choice...but there´s no windows folder yet, no manila files to work with.

What am I doing wrong here?

I agree this would be nice, but from other posts it appears we need some tech know to get this going as it isnt just a case of animated gifs. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] barty22:
As a matter of fact there aren't any animated backgrounds.

What they are is just a static background image, with animated elements on top of them (which are either the white haze that is moving from bottom to top, the circles and thingys moving on screen, or the strokes of paint)

When you install the most recent versions of Max Manila you will see that this mod allows you to choose any wallpaper you want, and use any animated elements on top of them (as well as weather animations, by the way).

The animated mods that I have seen simply change the circles and thingys into other objects. So the animation will be the same, except a little different.

Hi,

I'm still using a grandfathered plan that contains unlimited data for $5.99. If I were to use my sim card in the Nexus, would I be able to have 3G? I have acquired a new sim card last year if that helps.

Thanks
[Nexus One General] Over Achiever:
Seems to be working fine in an unlocked phone.
[Nexus One General] ccunningham83:
I had a friend who was using an unlocked AT&T Tilt on T-Mobile's network. He recently bought a MT3G and it wouldn't let him sign in to his google account. He called T-Mobile and they told him he needed the Android plan to activate it. So he added that and it started working. I would keep your plan and try it, but don't buy the phone and expect that you will be able to keep it.
[Nexus One General] neogenesis:
Do you have the $5.99 data plan on the N1? I'm not worried that it will work, just wondering if I will get 3G and not just EDGE. I'm using my $5.99 plan on the iPhone but getting EDGE due to frequency but I was wondering if T-Mobile can cap or restrict me to EDGE speed only due to my plan.
[Nexus One General] silverfaux:
I am currently waiting on my N1 to show up; but I do know my G1, when I switched to it from my wing, didn't get any internet whatsoever until I had them update my plan to the 'android unlimited web'. And when I switched my plan from the 350 min myfavs to the 500 even more plus, I had to get them to tack on the same thing but in it's free version before I got 'net again. My friend has the $5.99 internet on his unlocked iphone. If I see him this weekend before you get an answer, I'll have him put his sim card in my N1 and see what happens.
[Nexus One General] karnovaran:
Those of us who had the Ion, which was a developer phone and had no T-mobile branding, kept the 5.99 plan for a little while but the party eventually ended when the MyTouch was released. I would guess the same will happen with the N1... it'll work for a while, but then they'll prompt you to upgrade.
[Nexus One General] njb42:
My G1 worked for a while with the old unlimited plan, but suddenly one day it stopped working, and all sites redirected me to a page saying I needed to upgrade my data plan. Just FYI.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
Is this the same as the 5.99 T-zones plan thing that I have had my Dash rigged up to for the longest time? I didnt think anyone still has this plan but I get my phone tomorrow and I still have this plan though I think I am going to just go straight to 3g since I am going back to Phoenix in a week and I think their new network has rolled out there.

Would be interesting to get cheap internet though...
[Nexus One General] karnovaran:
You will get 3g speeds on the 5.99 plan. Keep it until they block it.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
no sh*t? Now we are talking, nothing better than paying 6 bux a month for brand new 25 dollar plan... i wonder how long this goes on for before they ruin my fun :p

even if a get a couple months out of it that would be sick!
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
My friend has a n900 unlocked on tmobile

pays for the 10 dollar internet plan. Told them hes on some cheap motorola flip phone. There is no more 5.99 plan. And he gets 3g on his N900. So u save 20 a month by doing that.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
Years ago, there

was

a 5.99 internet plan. Trust me, I have it... data has just gotten progressively more and more expensive over the years, it started at 5.99, then went to 10 then 20 now 25...

Luckily, I have been using the dash all this time, not the 3g dash, the oldschool one.... and ive had fully functional internet with it since my 5.99 internet plan has been grandfathered over the years...

this will be interesting to try out on my N1 that comes tomorrow...
[Nexus One General] lightforce:
Well u can still add the 10 dollars internet plan online
[Nexus One General] karnovaran:
Yeah I got at least two months of 3g goodness on my Ion for 6 bucks. I had to bump up to the G1 plan eventually, but it was nice to save some $$ for a while.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
yea no kidding, this college kid is going to be eating ramen and ezmac for awhile now since i went unsubsidized because i am on a family plan lol...

the "extra money" from not having to get the new web plan right away is a breath of fresh air
[Nexus One General] dinkk007:
Well actually way back then t-mobile had T-zone for only $2.99 and then they bumped it up to $5.99, and so on.

But after reading this thread. It appears to me that T-Mobile only finds out and block you from the $5.99 internet plan if your using a Google Phone. Because I have the TP2 from T-mobile, and my 3G internet is working fine. I have the $5.99 internet plan as well. This is very interesting.. Helps me decide between the HD2 and the Nexus 1... I think I will have to go with the HD2 for the cheap internet.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
the HD2 is nice on paper, and it is a gorgeous phone no doubt but WMo is such a bastard child OS for new phones these days... i am so sick of the WMo on my dash...

i tried cancelling my 24.99$ mytouch 3g plan online... THERES NO OPTION TO CANCEL IT! WTF???
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
why would you need to cancel it?

to set up the 9.99$ plan.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
which one is this?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
web2go... you know you really should read the whole thread it would make things much clearer
[Nexus One General] momohammed20:
easiest way to do this is you can either call or chat with a tmo rep online, and let them know that you no longer have an android device, and ask them to remove the 24.99 plan. then after that select a non-smartphone device as your device from the mytmobile.com and add the 5.99 plan. I've gotten the "required" 24.99/34.99 removed off of many of my accounts by doing this. but i've never tried the 5.99 internet plan on an android device
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
i dont think they offer 5.99 anymore, the lowest they offer is the 10 dollar plan... but that was good to know none the less
[Nexus One General] jacksonj51:
So can anyone confirm if adding the $10 internet plan works for the N1???
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
no, but i can confirm it DOES NOT work. Tried it last night and was blocked from using web as soon as the change took effect on my phone.

heres a tip though, call Tmobile and tell them about how you want Nexus One data, they will offer you an android web service for $24.99, which is $5 cheaper than the advertised/online price.
[Nexus One General] jlavoie:
i do not have a nexus one but i do have a TP2 (bought outright from t-mo) on my old 5.99 plan using 3G.

what is the default APN on the nexus one? epc.tmobile.com or wap.voicestream.com is what works with my 5.99 plan.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
just got my phone, i have the 5.99 plan and internet is working (seems uber slow lol)... i do not see the 3g icon on the top of the phone but idk if my house has 3g anyway

whats a good place to test the speeds though for confirmation? i may drive into town to test it later...

dont get too used to it. it will be blocked within 24 hours. thats how it was with my MT3G.

hi, i took a stroll to pick my dog up from the groomer and i picked up a 3g signal in town and decided to drop a line to everyone to confirm that i got 3g with my 5.99 plan... now i just hope they dont take it away from me :(
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
well for those who care, my internet is still going strong and im picking up 3g depending on where im at in the house
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
I'm on a myfaves plan still, and a G1 data ($34.99). I see an android web plan that does not include texting for 30.00 even. They're nice enough to have 300 ($4.99) 1000 ($9.99) and unlimited ($14.99) texting add-on options as well, heh.

I would still love to find an alternative data plan that doesn't cost nearly as much as my 10Mbit cable service. Lucky those that are still working on older plans.

Edit: I might experiment with some friend/coworkers sim's in my G1, see if i'm able to get something to work or atleast a secondary confirmation that the $10 does not in fact work.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
**knocks on wood because you forgot to
[Nexus One General] jhammer619:
JHaste: You just got a N1 right? Is that 5.99 internet plan still working today? And the speeds are what you expect of a 3G network?

I ask because I assumed the 5.99 plan is edge only, which is what I have on my Dash right now, looking to upgrade...

So let me get this straight: the best deal is to buy the phone unlocked ($530 or so), stick with whatever plan you already have (I have 1000 minutes for $39.99, plus $5.99 unlimited data, plus 1000 texts for 9.99, so around 59 dollars a month). You get screwed if you buy the 279.99 subsidized price N1, right?

Assuming the day comes when 5.99 internet no longer works, then would switch to Android Data Plan for 25.99? Or what else?

What's your guys' take on the best plan for a N1? I've heard several different schemes, ranging from what we've talked about here, to GoogleVoice and Skype. Check this out nosugrefneb.com/1896

It seems a little too complicated and unsupported (in case you have problems) for the savings (around 500 bucks in two years).

Thanks in advance for any help.
