[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Hi all..

I'll get directly into the scenario..

HardSPLed (1.17) my HTC Snap device ->

installed [WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.2.50.112509] works perfectly but I wanted to get back to the original WM6.1 ->

went back to WM6.1 successfully, after a while the official WM6.5 ROM realesed by HTC ->

downloaded it ->

tried to install it, everything goes well till the upgrade indicator reaches 29% and hang for no reason and giving me a 262 error after a while!!! then I followed instructions to recover the upgrade process as shown in the upgrade application then it hangs again at point 29% giving me the same error!!!!

I tried many times the steps of recovering and the same thing happens.. I'm confirming that my usb cable is working good and Windows Mobile sync application works great.

So I decided to install the 3VO.2.50 version again since I had a dead device and surprisingly everything works fine with the cooked version..

Now the problem is I need to install the new HTC OFFICIAL ROM and I can't do this... i've followed many topics here that nearly the same my problem but there is nothing except the frustration :( now i stucked in the coocked ROM and can't install the official ROM nor getting back to the original WM6.1 version

Any help guys will be much appreciated ..

Thanx in advance..

I have had the same issue installing WM 6.5 official ROM from HTC on mine. I followed the recovery process around 6 or 7 times before succeeding. it's kind of frustrating, but it worked in the end.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Thanks for help..

After walkingthrough sikkboy626 link i was able to install the official WM6.5 ROM

But after the upgrade process ends successfully the device restarted and only shows a black screen with 'smart mobility' and at the down left of the screen there is a B G R D letters, beside each of them there are some kind of numbers (in orange color)

Then it just hangs !!!!

Any clue guys ???
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] raphaelc:
that's the normal boot screen which indicates the radio version, rom version. just wait a few minutes for the phone to boot for the 1st time. if it still doesn't do anything, try re-flashing.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Tried everything with no success ... tried to hard reset and didn't work, tried to flashing also didn't work, gave me 260 error message 'cause it's not seeing the device, my computer also doesn't see the device... !!!!!!

I'm about to crash my snap :(
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] raphaelc:
this is really a common error when flashing the ROM. try doing the recovery process as indicated many many times until success.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Can't flashing because the sync application nor pc seeing the device !!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] raphaelc:
in the recovery process, you don't need sync. read the documentation delivered with the ROM, they say how to recover.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Yes I know that i don't need sync in a recovery process.. i'm just proofing that the recovery/upgrade application doesn't see the device.. so i'm stuck here, i can't re-flash, i can't hard reset i can't do anything using my pc 'cause simply it doesn't know that the phone is connected to it...!!!!
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] raphaelc:
the only thing that i can tell you is to try the recovery process over and over until it connects correctly to the device. i have had the same issue as you : my phone wouldn't boot at all and was stuck at 29%. i re-booted my computer and followed the recovery process around 6 or 7 times as suugested on the screen, and then it worked.

-trying another pc with a deferent version of windows

don't know what to do else :(

I've now a useless dead phone
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] raphaelc:
ok, so what do you get when you start flashing ? do you see the progressbar on the phone ? do you see a black screen ? please be more specific than "it doesn't work". detail each step you do and i will try to help.
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Ok.. sorry for not being specific..

While trying the steps in my last post the screen of my Snap just showing a black screen written on it 'smart mobility' and at the down left of the screen there is a B G R D letters, beside each of them there are some kind of numbers (in orange color)

and it's showing this screen all the time, after restarting the device, while trying to flash... all the time nothing but the same screen appears, no progress bar, no tri-color screen no anything but the 'smart mobility' screen...

Thanks alot for tryin' to help
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] raphaelc:
Ok :

1 - Remove the battery from your phone for a few seconds. Put the battery back in.

2 - While holding volume DOWN button, press the power button. The phone will enter "bootloader" mode and you will see a tricolor bootscreen.

do you see this screen ?
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Yes... finally i see the tri color screen now...

what should i do after that??

and btw the pc realize the phone now do I have to try reflashing again??
[Dash 3G, Snap ROM Development] abdelaleem:
Thanks alot raphaelc for helping me.. phone is working now perfectly after reflashing

Really appreciate your help.. :)

[HD2 General] nvandenbosch:
Hey everyone,

Is there a way to set the reminder snooze time at 0 minutes. I mean when I set an appointment at 12:00 and I want it to remind me at 12:00?

Currently the minimum time which I can set via the HTC Calendar is 5 minutes. I can change it via the original WM6.5 calender buts it kind off a hassle.

Any tweak available for this?

Thanks,

Nick
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
There is an option to set the reminder as None. Its above the 5 minute option if you scroll.

Test this out and see if it works for you.

WB
[HD2 General] amang2205:
I honestly think he DOES what to be remimded of the appointment (instead of not being reminded, by selecting None), BUT he wants to be reminded of it after the appointment has started!

So nvandenbosch, you're one of those guys who love interrupting a started meeting... :)

I can only suggest writing to Customer Support. Hope you won't get the question I got when I've asked why basic Company information (COmpany name) is not shown in contact information in HTC People, even though Company address (pointless, many times) is: their response: "it's not how the device was designed".
[HD2 General] nvandenbosch:
It's just when I have to call someone at 10, I get a reminder at 10 and not 5 to 10.... For meetings I use the 5 minute reminder indeed ;) .

I will contact HTC tomorrow.

Thanks!

Nick
[HD2 General] amang2205:
Good luck with that!

Hope you won't get someone like I did, someone who would probably tell you something like "hey you... why don't you just set the reminder at 10:05 and the reminder 5 minutes earlier, so you get reminded at 10:00..."

Real support, what can I say!

Even makes you wonder what they want to say by
[HD2 General] omneity:
You'd be better off using Tasks for this, you can set a reminder for the exact time you want.
[HD2 General] Tubgirl:
Is there a way (registry hack maybe?) to set the default reminder time to 0 minutes maybe? Does anyone know?

[HD2 General] Pharmako:
Any updates on this?

Weird thing is that on a smartphone with WM 6.1 I can set the snooze from 5 mins up an 1hr +, and with Leo I can't ? :confused: This doesn't make any sense, does it?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
do you mean when the alarm rings, you only get the option to snooze or dismss?

Use bsb tweaks and turn on windows dismiss x notificatiions, which will re enable the 5 mins, 10 mins 1 hour etc etc list of snooze options.
[HD2 General] Pharmako:
Many thanks, I never realized that BsB Tweks has this option. :)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no worries, just having snooze or dismiss is just silly.
[HD2 General] Pharmako:
And frustrating.

Thre are a lot of thread in which are people asking how to lock the buttons when the phone is in suspend mode and wake up the device only with power button.

This was common on most of older HTC devices.

So my question is, is it possible to take some registry from older devices and implement it in our Leo, so only the power button will wake up the device?

Dear members of the forum,

I've been trying to decide which path to take to get started with mobile development on modern devices. I've done some windows mobile development and quite a lot j2me development in the past, and I am very keen to explore these modern platforms.

However, I'm trying to understand the opportunities in Android platform and IPhone, and I need your help to complete some of the missing bits.

Android does not seem allow native code access to hardware for obvious reasons. It appears you can write native libraries, but they can't access hardware either.

IPhone on the other hand, seems to offer compiled code access to hardware, making it easier to port things like vlc player.

On the other hand, Android gives you the OS source code, and you can add custom modules to kernel. I've never been deep into kernel hacking, other than applying a few patches every now and then.

Do you think it would be possible to exploit the open source nature of Android, to have compiled code access to hardware? I was thinking about developing software at the kernel level, using low level access, and then exposing a certain amount of control to UI layer.

Do you think this approach as a possible alternative to native access to device hardware (apis), as in IPhone and windows mobile?

I am not worried about deploying my code to other phones, these will be projects for personal purposes only, but I would like to know if I can find a way of squeezing performance of the say, HTC Hero to the max by using native code, rather than Java.

For a more solid example, how would you go ahead if you were to start a project for porting VLC Player to HTC hero? Would you say this is not possible?

Kind regards

I was wondering if its possible to get pushmail for gmail without using outlook ?

Is this possible ? Am I supposed to use IMAP or POP mail ?

Please help, thanks :)
[HD2 General] MidnightDraven:
If you setup mail, it will automatically setup for IMAP.

You configure for how often it checks the server.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Thanks I just did that, but the problem is it checks every 5 minutes, thats not exactly push mail is it ?? It should have the option "As mail arrives"

I tried deleting an email from my inbox, but when I check online, its still there (the actual gmail inbox) .. it seems they are not really in function are they ?

EDIT : Okay The messages got deleted in the browser inbox after 5 minutes ... So the email syncs every 5 minutes

How can I make it an instant connection (pushmail) ??
[HD2 General] Yunabeco:
Actually Outlook Mobile 2007/2010 still pulls from IMAP instead of receiving pushes (Microsoft doesn't exactly know about IDLE). You'll want to set up an Exchange connection. See here for more details about Google Sync.

You'll want to configure the server manually. You can find ActiveSync somewhere into your Start menu, otherwise just go to the Sense settings tab, Data Service and ActiveSync to configure the server, then follow the instructions from the link above.
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
Thank you very much, that worked, and I can choose "As item arrives" now :)

One last thing, is it possible to change the email name from Outlook to something else ? e.g. Gmail ?
[HD2 General] barty22:
ZaZu90, what domain did you choose while configuring the connection? I can't click next unless I choose a domain, since the activesync software is different and probably newer than the one used in the google instructions...
[HD2 General] ZaZu90:
I followed Yunabeco's link, the domain was left blank.

You have to initiate the email settings from active sync, not from adding a new account.

Check the intsturctions ^^
[HD2 General] barty22:
Yes I am trying to do the same but as I said I cannot leave the domain blank, i HAVE to fill in something in order to continue configuring the connection...

I just did the Push Mail setup (used the link from Yunabeco post)

I had no problem with the instructions, but for some reason it will only get the mail when I do an ActiveSync.

The Use above settings and Send/Receive when I click Send) are als set to on.

Did I miss a setting as it's not working for me the way it should, or do I need to set something in my Gmail account also?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Barty,

Surprised at this. I set this up the other day on my device in order to talk someone through it and it worked. Deleted it as I don't need push mail right now.

Wondered if those who can't get it working can put down the steps they have taken to setup on their devices and we can see how we can help?

Hi guys, I got a big problem with HTC Album.

When I tray to display Facebook photos, I can only see the names of the folders and the number of photos but I can't display them (first it's loading but after appear a cross).

I tried to pass by contacts list and it to the same thing. Even with another Facebook account.

I also tried to delete the folder "FBContacts", in order to reset something but it doesn't do anything.

But, it works with the Facebook app' (but less simple than HTC Album)

Note : Association between contact and Facebook account, works, I can see the current profile picture (but it is the only one i can).

So, is it possible to reinstall / repair HTC Album ?!

Maybe I delete some important thing, or maybe there's a modification to do in the registry...

In advance, thank you.

The problem only occurs when I have the Modaco Rom installed. Basically a force close error occurs about 3-4 times a day, with the message:

"The process system has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

This leads to the phone booting to the HTC logo screen and the error message popping up again. This can only be stopped if I reboot the phone. I have ran adb logcat, the results of which are posted. I was hoping someone could identify the problem for me. Cheers

CEListFiles

From time to time I have the "pleasure" to see my WindowsMobile device struggle with low storage / low main memory. I get that low memory message and have no clue, what caused the problem, which program used the place up or what data files should rather be saved on memory card. Searching for files I can delete on the device itself is painfully slow, especially if I examine the Windows folder and it'S sub-folders. Using ActiveSync and the Explorer on the DesktopPC is better but not efficient too. So I wrote a little tool for myself I want to share with whomever it appeals to use it.

CEListFiles is a tool that displays the device's file/folder structure on your Desktop PC. There are a few special features:

it shows each folders size including all subfolders

it shows ROM files with a little "R" in the icon

it lets you export and import the file/folder structure so you can compare it to a previous state or have the file/folder structure analysed by a more experienced user without need to have access to the device

CEListFiles is easy to use:

connect your device to your DesktopPC via ActiveSync

select the folder you want to examine in the edit field ("/" for the all folders)

click the button bottom left

Attached you find the most recent version CEListFiles 1.5

If you like CEListFiles just buy me a beer.

[G1 Apps and Games] Hellek:
There are ALK CoPilot, Sygic Mobile Maps, NDrive and others. Of course they all cost money. They all work without internet connection since they store all map-data on the SD-card. There are also Navigation systems which depend on a data-connection, I don't know their names because I never cared about them.

Google Navigation, which ohgood mentioned, is free but not officially supported for Europe. It also has some flaws if used in this area. Of course it is one of those that depend on an internet connection.

[G1 Apps and Games] josevtome:
I've used AndNav2 and Nav4All, both of them are free and very good turn by turn navigation, good interface and very accurate. Both needs internet connection because there's no (or little) map "buffering". I think you can use like a pre-route that download's some map information, but it still needs to connect to the internet to get more info.
