[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
It's not possible at the moment. Telus hasn't put out any updates to the Hero yet. Sit tight, I'm sure once HTC puts out the Eclair update, Telus will release shortly aftewards. The original Telus ROM hasn't been customized at all though, other than the Telus APN settings, so I can't see a reason why the Telus-specific ROM would be required, unless it's for warranty reasons.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joshlusignan:
Hey craig0r, just a few questions. Seems there are few Telus users rooting so its kinda hard to find a "Telus" point of view. How is MoDaCo 3.1? Are you experiecing any issues? Since we cannot go back to Telus ROM, do you have any regrets rooting or installing MoDaCo? Thanks for your input!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] craig0r:
The HTC Music app gets choppy through, when played through A2DP bluetooth. I think I had that problem before I rooted, but I don't remember. It's fine through headphones. That kinda sucks. I really hope it's fixed in eclair. My Vogue with WM 6.5 had no issues like this.

Other than that, I have no complaints at all, it's pretty great. I only had my phone for one day before I rooted it, mind you, so I can't really compare it to the stock ROM's experience.

Anyone else having problems?

yea same here ive been having problems

since ive tried using it my nexus dosent ring when i get a notification, i guess i have to hard reset
[Nexus One General] DMaverick50:
Notwithstanding the issues that have carried over from my g1 and mytouch, this browser really needs an update. I love this phone and I really believe its as good if not better than any phone out there but...

When I go to a site its a straight toss up as to whether it will smoothly load the page or achieve about a quarter inch of yellow progress bar and just hang there( 3g or otherwise). Sometimes I get 0 progress and wind up rebooting the phone. I thought the processor is what's responsible for loading pages once the network downloads them. I'm half excited though because the phone is otherwise great and thru software updates we will eventually see this capable processor and abundance of ram put to proper use. I feel like this phone could literally run at least 50% smoother based only on better hardware use regardless of android software modifications. This phone has such incredible hardware if google took it back and spent another 6 months on it and left the hardware the same they could make it run unrecognizably well.

I predict great things from google!

Check out the Dolphin Browser in the marketplace. It has multi-touch/pinch zoom and works really well.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
I have yet to experience such a problem... unless my phone switches from 3G to Edge... but that's not a problem with the browser...
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
None of those issues with the browser. Only, some website pages like XDA display real small text? So, I have to zoom in a lot...
[HD2 General] speakerphone:
Silly Q, how do you select text from an email? And other places...

it keeps thinking I want to scroll the page...

and in list boxes I can't use calligrapher at all!
[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
From an Email, you press and hold your finger on the screen and a list of options should appear, choose Make Selection and then you can drag your finger along what you want to copy, once you selected that press and hold again and cut/copy and then hold to paste in.

For text messages, you press and hold your finger on the screen until you get two icon/cursors. You move the cursors along so it highlights what text is between the two cursors. Tap what you want to do etc.

For other programs I'm not sure sorry.
[HD2 General] speakerphone:
thanks! that did it!
[HD2 General] yafibo:
Is it possible to make this method available in emails and webbrowsing?
[HD2 General] Sim-1:
I'm very interested in this too. Apparently it is possible, but I cannot find a way or a discussion in which it's explained how. :confused:

[Hero CDMA General] navalynt:
In Alaska we have ACS Wireless and Alaska Digitel for CDMA service. Both will have the HTC Hero by the end of the month. Are the custom ROMs on this site pre-programmed to only work with Sprint or will they work on any CDMA Hero (provided you know the programming details of your network)?
[Hero CDMA General] sadalius:
You can use a ROM from a different network. I am using a sprint rom on my phone and its not on a sprint network. There could be side effects though so you may want to research before hand. If you can gain root on your phone prior to putting a different rom on your phone and install the RA recovery ron, you can run a nandroid backup and then if it didn't work, you could restore your original rom. Just don't flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone or vice versa.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Has anyone noticed people selling new Nexus One's on eBay for more money that google is selling them for? Really humerous that people would pay $650 for a Nexus One. I guess there is one born everyday.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
youre forgetting that the people selling on ebay are shipping the phones out to people who live in areas google is not shipping to.
[Nexus One General] mark925:
I noticed that as well right when people started getting their's and contemplated selling mine for the profit then repurchase it.....but I didn't.
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Several of the ads say USA sales only; or USA, Canada, EU sales only.

As well, I am willing to bet money more than 1 person has bought one off eBay at those inflated prices that could have gotten it off Google just fine.
[Nexus One General] creepinshadow:
you know i'm thinking about buying a N1 try it out, and if i really really can't stand it resell it on ebay..

obviously not a light decision as there's still risk, and ebay fees that you have to consider
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
yes that too. Some people will just try to scam money out of a person who did not do his research.

When the Playstation 3 first came out, it was being sold EASILY on ebay for over $1000!

Not talking about auction items, talking about Buy It Now only listings like that one, where the price is $100 over googles, and unless you live in the lower 48, you gotta pay extra for shipping!
[Nexus One General] Tr0LL:
Just an FYI, that $650 price might be pushing it, but even then, anything under $650 if you include cashback rewards will be cheaper than google's price for some people because of tax and ebay cashback.

As of right now there is a total of 13% cash back if you know what you're doing. So for example, $650 minus 13% cashback is about $565.50 which would be cheaper for some people. $529 + TAX = $570+ for some people. $650 buy it now would be pushing it, but imagine if it were $600. Yea, to someone who didn't know any better, he might think OMG that's way overpriced, but $600 - 13% cashback is cheaper than $529 + TAX. Hell it's even cheaper than $529 with no tax.

Then you add in the people that have paypal coupons and you get the picture.
[Nexus One General] parrot5:
Here's my logic:

phone $530 +

USA tax (depends on State of your mailbox address) $0 to $53? +

USA mailbox $15 single use? +

USA to Canada shipping $30 and more (those sites don't want to take risks) +

Canada import fees, around $70 (phone NOT made in USA) +

USPS/UPS/FedEx brokerage fees $5 to $30 depends

If you want to take risks you can TRY to have the USA-forwarding company lower the value, so you save some import fees. A lot of them won't, because of the high volume of shipments they do.

With ebay sellers they are more likely to lower the declared value and even mark it as a gift if you ask. $659 shipped to Canada looks like a deal to me LOL....

I got a grand each for a couple PS2's. People thought I was wrong for doing it, but hey, I waited overnight in upstate NY, towards the end of winter. My time and freezing cahones were worth a grand to me and obviously the guys that paid it. lol

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Das-_Flo0:
Hey ho guys. I have a question and I hope somebody can help me.

A few Days ago I flashed this ROM:

-----> htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=2510

(with OliNex Hard SPL and 1.00.25.05 Radio)

Now I wanted to flash another ROM

-----> sites.google.com/site/romshtcplus/

But now I got a Problem. Since I flashed the RTT Xtreme Rom, I am not able to flash another ROM. After the Softreset while flashing, the Mobile Centre of Win7 cant connect to my Diamond anymore.

Hard SPL is possible to flash but Radio and all other ROMS are not flashable -.-

Anyone knows what I can do? I tried the Original O2 Rom but even this one wont work.

I hope somebody knows what do do without killing my phone, cause the Xtreme ROM sux :D

Thx 4 help :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] dibbutz:
- connect your Diamond to PC in Storage Mode

- rename file .nbh in diamimg.nbh

- copy diamimg.nbh in in your Diamond

- disconnect your Diamond

- press together "Volume Down", "Back" and "Reset" until appears Boot screen called USB Trigger Mode;

- press Power to go next...wait the process until to "Update Complete"

- reset and wait the Automatic installations
[G1 Android Development] Perrosky:
I don't have internet in my G1 anymore and I just realize I can't see the pictures messages anymore. I called tmobile they say I need internet to be able to see them. Is there any way to work arround this?

thanks
[HD2 General] @CharGuitarGirl:
19 hours it was connect for before i realised!! seriously i was kinda annoyed.

ive changed the settings on twitter and weather so they only update manually but is there anything else i need to do.

thanks

[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
Is this because you are worried about going over your internet allowance (500mbish) or because you want to save on battery? I'm a tad concerned about both and I would feel better if I could easily disable mobile web activating every so often.
[HD2 General] freyberry:
All Settings --> Connections --> Connections --> Advanced --> Select Networks

There, select "My work Network". That will only allow it to connect through WiFi.
[HD2 General] gabbs:
download nodata

it's available on here..

also touch x datadisconnect..
[HD2 General] @CharGuitarGirl:
got to connections selected adavanced network and theres a drop down bar that says HSDPA/HSUPA, disable or HSDPA only???

have i gone wrong some where? sorry im a bit thick haha
[HD2 General] gabbs:
get the cab I mentioned..
[HD2 General] gregormax:
I'm afraid the only way to actually disable data connections is NoData (i uploaded it for you). If you change your connection settings it won't connect via HSDPA or GPRS but it will connect via WAP.

If you install NoData simply make a shortcut to it and turn on data connections whenever you need them.
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
contact HTC in your region, they send you a cab file that can disable all your data connections...alternatively there are a good few programs avl. on here as well.
[HD2 General] trav_44:
hi

disable automatic updates in your weather program
[HD2 General] MrMagicMushroom:
The method provided by freyberry worked for me until I looked at my phone this morning, instead of Mobile Web it said "Pay Monthly Contract" and was active for 12 hours! o.O

I guess I should get that cab!
[HD2 General] NeilM:
Why do you want to stop it connecting?

You are only charged for actual data transfer, not for time connected, and the amount of data used for FB and Twitter updates is relatively small anyway.

If you are being charged for all data I can understand your problem as you would want to stop some of the background downloads, otherwise there's really no point. The effect on battery life by disconnecting (as opposed to switching to GSM) is miniscule.
[HD2 General] @CharGuitarGirl:
probably giving you a right headache now but, how do i do that ^
[HD2 General] coolfx35:
If you get charged for this, just tell the carrier that you accidently enabled it and didn't mean to use any data usage.
[HD2 General] @CharGuitarGirl:
neilm i worry about it being left on. i realise that for the 19 hours it was left on it only used 3mb but it just niggles away at me, if i cant really disable it when i want & effectively i'll just accept it and try not to worry about it.
[HD2 General] djngal:
Hi, i have already used all methods discussed above. i have nodata and i also use the on/off switch to 3G network. The thing is that there IS a difference in battery times with all these... with 3G on and connection on battery lasts about 24 hours with minimal use. With 2G and connection on battery lasts 48 hours (2 days) with minimal use. With 2G and connection OFF from nodata it can hold 4 days on a single charge!

At least thats happening with my battery, coz i heard some stories about batteries holding 6-9 hours which never happened to me unless im using it fully for those 9 hours... :p

PS: by minimal usage i mean a couple of phone calls, a couple of sms and around 10-15 mins of internet connection either wifi or gprs just to update weather, twitter, email etc. The rest of its time, in sleep mode.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
I'd say that 3MB in 19 hours without knowingly using any data is a bit of a concern :)

It may be wise to look into the updating schedules for location services, weather, twitter and Facebook (if you use them) and Stocks and Shares. The stocks and shares stuff does use a lot of data if you don't change the default settings.

For NoData- download the nodata.cab file to your phone then use File Explorer to locate it. Tap the filename to run it and this will install the program and place a shortcut in your Programs folder. You could then add the shortcut as one of the 9 links on the home page for easy access, to turn the data connection on & off at will
[HD2 General] NeilM:
If those figures are typical for you, then you are doing very well! Most users see about 25-30% improvement by turning off 3G, and significantly less for turning data off.

It's important to realise that it is mostly data transfer that uses battery power, not the state of being connected or not. To go 4 days without any data transfer at all would mean a substantial reduction in overall device functionality, as you'd be simply using the installed programs in self contained mode- that may well limit the amount you even turn it on, so saving even more power. No email/web browsing/weather etc may well improve the battery life, but at what expense in terms of functionality?

As I mention above, it might be better to find out which programs are downloading data and at what intervals, and modify those settings to save both data use and battery life.
[HD2 General] keith43:
Not quite sure I am after the same as the op, but its close and I don't see the point in starting a new thread.

But I want my hd2 to use Wifi when I am connected to it and not the 3g connection. Had a quick search, but maybe I am using the wrong terms!! as i couldnt find anything.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
The HD2 and all Windows Mobile phones ought to use an open WiFi connection in preference to the phone signal without you having to do anything.

There are some provisos though:

It must be a valid WiFi connection, so check that the device can use the WiFi signal properly

The data session needs to be initiated after the WiFi is turned on, or it may continue using the phone signal. So, for web browsing, exit the browser, and restart it after turning on WiFi. Stuff such as location services, weather updates etc might continue using the phone, but the amount of data they use is relatively small unless you have a very short update interval.
[HD2 General] HelleM:
Wonder if anybody has made a cab: "Connect ONLY and ONLY using WiFi"

*lol*

if there is - I will get it :)

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DMaverick50:
Ive never had an iphone, ive only had three smart phones and theyve all been androids, but several of my friends have iphones. when they are on a webpage they can choose any text to highlight and copy.

This might be the most universally useful feature on a phone ive seen, its so base, so simple, so necessary. So how do I do it on my nexus 1? Do i need an app? thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RoboPhred:
Already part of the browser.

Just FYI, it took until version 3.0 for the iphone to get this functionality.

[Nexus One General] hurrycaine3000:
Just wondering if anyone can help me out with this one. When I call out, or receive a call using my google voice number instead of my at&t number, does that go towards data usage, or mobile minutes. I'm just curious as I'm thinking of switching to t-mobile, and if it's using data, this obviously gives me a little more play, when choosing a plan to go with. why pay for a thousand minutes when you can just pay for unlimited data?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
talking through google voice uses minutes, unless you have a myfaves plan or equivalent, in which case you can add the GV number to your calling circle and essentially get unlimited minutes. GV however does not use SMS Texts because SMS sent out through GV are sent through data.
[Nexus One General] hurrycaine3000:
sounds like I'm switching to t-mobile.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
how am I wrong? thats exactly what I said...

EDIT: Lol you changed it to right
[Nexus One General] TaFFeR:
You can't get MyFaves plans anymore. Plus I read somewhere that Google is now cycling through numbers now, so the number you add on your MyFaves (if you have it grandfathered) won't necessarily be the one that's going to be called when you used GV.

The only way to really get unlimited minutes over data is if you have a Gizmo5 account, and they're not accepting new members.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Incorrect. ;) Even if they were to change your call-through number, there is still a way to ALWAYS get free calls:

Log into google.com/voice and call from there. It will first call your cell phone number from your Google Voice number, which will of course never ever change! Free calling with myFaves, completely unstoppable!
[Nexus One General] TaFFeR:
Paul, you're right. I didn't think of that; unless Google decides to call you from a different number, then yes you can get unlimited calls only if you already have the MyFaves plan.
[Nexus One General] XfrostX:
I have a gizmo5 account, how do i get unlimited minutes with it ?
[Nexus One General] Redestwing:
I just use the app GV. Have it call my phone back with my Google Voice number. :D
[Nexus One General] tiptoekirk:
are you talking about the GV app that is on the phone???

I dont like the fact that it uses minutes instead of data, GV mobile on the iphone uses data i am pretty sure..

id also like to see a full version of skype come out for android to make unlimited calls over data like the iphone as well..
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
Nope, GV Mobile uses minutes as well.
[Nexus One General] BrotherG:
So the current Skype lite app on the android market does not make calls over data?
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
Unless they changed the functionality of the app in the last 6 months, Skype lite uses minutes, iSkoot as well. If you want true VOIP fring is one choice. There is another in the Dream forums that is a generic SIP application.
[Nexus One General] Redestwing:
No, I am talking about the app in the market that is called "GV". It can be set up to make a phone call by having google voice return a call to you and showing your GV number instead of the persons you are trying to call.
[Nexus One General] seraph1024:
How do you think google voice return your call? Google voice is not VoIP. If you are curious, check out VoIP and SIP on Wikipedia. Those are the ones that will use data.

Google did acquire a VoIP company a few months back but VoIP is not rolled out yet. Even with VoIP, you need proper compression and the latency is too high for proper communication even on 3G (at times). How do I know? I tested it. One of the things I consult/sell is VoIP soultions.

If you want VoIP though, and skype is POS at this time, I suggest getting fring. It will interface with VoIP/SIP servers, skype, AIM etc.
[Nexus One General] Redestwing:
No need for VOIP at this time since I have Myfaves still. ;)
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I don't understand. Why bother with an app? (Especially one which says in the description "I am no longer supporting this"?)

Why not just go to google.com/voice? ;)

No app needed! :D

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

He wasn't saying that this is VoIP. Just that you can use this method of getting GV to call you with your GV # to use MyFaves for free calling (which I actually said was possible in post #7 above ;):

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5423373&postcount=7 )

Note this method is only necessary IF AND ONLY IF Google changes your GV call-out number, which so far they haven't shown any indication that they're going to do. As long as you have that number in your MyFaves, like I do, you can simply open contacts, hit call, and it'll automatically call via GV, which is free for me since I have that number in my MyFaves. No need to do the above unless Google changes the call-out number. This is just a method to prove that they will never ever be able to get rid of MyFaves free calling via Google Voice!
[Nexus One General] Redestwing:
Even though the Dev says he no longer supports it, he updated not to long ago and is talking of supporting again. Just easier to use this app than have to open browser and then select who I want to call.
