[G1 General] ezterry:
My question is:

Is this just an issue with Android 1.5 the Rogers officially distributes and thus has been corrected in 1.6/Cyanogen Rom.

Or is it some other issue that I ought to be more concerned about.

(I think its just the historic e911/1.5 issues but lack of details makes it hard to be absolutely sure)
[G1 General] JamieD81:
im on the phone with rogers right now, and they are saying the upgrade to magic for free from dream is due to the 911 + 1.5 issue. nothing to do with no 2.1 upgrade for the htc dream.
[G1 General] dash4g:
So this issue would not be addressed in any of cyanogen's roms?

Hmm... I wonder if I could just get them to take off the 911 charge per month for me, seeing as how I would never trade my dream for a magic.
[G1 General] JamieD81:
its rogers 1.5 update thats causing the problems

so cyanogenmod's 1.6 will work fine, rogers just doesnt need to know this. or that you even rooted your phone.
[G1 General] linkage2424:
I used to be on JF 1.5.1 and I always used to have this problem. I worked security so I was on the phone to 911 a lot and it would randomly do a reset of my phone when I was on the call. Couldn't talk to them for more then ~20 seconds.

No probs on the latest Cyanogen though.
[G1 General] dash4g:
Awsome, thanks guys! no issues=free magic for my girlfriend!
[G1 General] daeshawn:
MAgic

I just received the same text but i have the magic . From what I have been reading all over the net it seems that it is the dream that has the issue. To me is sounds strange since I have an HTC magic. So in my opinon either the issue more serious or they are up to something.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
ROBBERS is a bunch of retards. They say a whole lot of garbage that makes no sense and has no relevance in order to trick you into things that you don't need to do.

Right now, they are trying VERY HARD to trick people into believing that the HTC DREAM is inferior in order to get you to accept a MAGIC along with a CONTRACT EXTENSION. The reason for THIS is that they anticipate that the cell phone oligopoly is now in jeopardy. Wind mobile (already in operation in Toronto and Calgary, in days will be adding Ottawa, Edmonton, and Vancouver), Public mobile and DAVE mobile (starting soon) are SERIOUS threats to their current pricing structure, so they want to lock in as many customers as they can for AS LONG as they can, BEFORE people wise up to the fact that they don't have to keep paying those CRIMINALLY HIGH rates.

Wind mobile: $35 for unlimited in province, any time, in or out, free callerid, call forwarding, etc. $35 for unlimited data. Robbers: $45 for 400 minutes, local calling only. $80 for 5GB and insane overage rates, everything else extra, $0.35/min long distance.
[G1 General] sambartle:
I think it's actually a genuine (and quite serious) problem.

The latest info is that it happens intermittantly on Magic as well.. so its not a ploy to get you to upgrade lol

This: HowardForums post is someone who claims they told the carrier 3 months ago about the problem with a recording of the call.. if thats true that seems quite bad.

(Might also be a good idea to get this posted on thefront page in case any users havent seen it as it seems quite an important thing to know)
[G1 General] lbcoder:
It is definitely NOT a genuine problem.

Here is the proof (which you provided in your link): http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...it;h=610419eae1d35b4da27b91de2dc98982d43c7deb

In other words, all they need to do is update, but they aren't going to do that because they want to LIE to people for the reasons I already mentioned. What this is actually called is FRAUD, and I would be VERY happy to see some class action litigation against them for it.

And just to give an idea about HOW TRIVIAL of an update this is, here is the actual patch against the android source:

}

And just look at the code... this patch is INCREDIBLY simple... it is literally just adding a couple of "if (something != null){...}" around the things that were previously causing NPE's.

Robbers seriously can't do THAT?

WHY?

Aforementioned reasons... FRAUD.
[G1 General] daeshawn:
Very Very true. But at the moment I dont think they have GSM phones (although I believe they are looking into it). This is the only reason i havent left and telus/Bell suck so
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Of course they are GSM. What else would they be? CDMA? And they give simcards out for FREE when you sign up if your phone supports the right frequencies (1700 and 2100 MHz).

What they don't have and will NEVER have is EDGE -- HSPA only. There's no reason to pay big money to build a new-but-obsolete network!
[G1 General] canadiancow:
Yea...I called them in September about it. Dumbasses.

It may be a simple fix, but it is definitely a genuine problem. Right now, no non-rooted Dream/Magic on Rogers can call 911 if GPS is enabled.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Geeze, look. It is NOT A REAL PROBLEM, because they CAN fix it with hardly ANY effort, but they CHOOSE NOT TO.

Because the problem is software, *every single affected device* can be patched through an automatic update, but they're not doing that. In this case, it is about as HONEST as intentionally creating a defect and loading that onto people's phones.

It is real simple. This was a real problem when it initially was discovered, up until the point where anyone responsible for supporting the hardware had REASONABLE TIME to provide the corrections. It is now WAY beyond that point, which means that it is NOT a real problem any more (regardless of the fact that it may still affect you), it is a CREATED problem -- based on the fact that they have CHOSEN to pretend that the hardware itself is to blame for it in order to support their nefarious purposes rather than providing the necessary fix for it, which they should have done a LONG TIME AGO.
[G1 General] AverageCanadian:
Both the Rogers HTC Dream and Magic on stock rom are affected by this. If you've rooted your phone and have a custom rom with 1.6 or higher though you have nothing to worry about.
[G1 General] dblo7:
this type of ignorance is comical when read by someone who knows exactly what is going on :D

all I'll say is that when the update to fix this is made available, it will be to your benefit to update your 1.5 Dreams and Magics.
[G1 General] asb123:
hey guys update: They are now offering a software update for the dream at rogers.com\dreamsoftwareupdate

I would take it that because i am running cyanogenMOD i dont need to do anything.
[G1 General] hub714:
Question to those who run CM:

Is your data still available then? They disabled all data to our devices. I don't use data because I'm cheap anyways, but I was just wondering...
[G1 General] zeeshanzc:
data gone

my data is gone completely... and talked to the lady in rogers...have to install the update to have the data working again... but the update wont work on a rooted phone...so i guess i am stuck.... tried taking advantage of it by asking for the free magic rogers is claiming to be offering but lady said they are out of stock... so i am pretty fcked rite now...:mad:
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You claim to know what is going on...

maybe you can explain why the update was FOUR MONTHS LATE!!!

Potentially allowing a LOT of people to get into dangerous situations where they DEPENDED on their phone and 911 service, but where it didn't work.
[G1 General] Soulfyr:
I have a rooted Dream. I have the data disabled on my phone, so I don't care that thay disabled data. What is pissing me off, is I keep getting Textes and auto-mated phone called from rogers saying basicly (you need to update your phone!).

So I called them to see how far I could get with out telling them my phone (witch I bought out right) is rooted. I told them I already did the update and I still keep getting the massages. The guy seemed to not understand why I was still getting the massages. He later told me that once the update is done the massages should stop. I said "well can't you just manualy turn off the massages on my account?" he said "not That I know of." Then I just told him I had to go.

The fact that the massages stops comming after you get the update on your phone makes me wonder... How can rogers see what update I have or don't have on my phone, when they don't even know what phone you owne if you don't tell them?

Maybe some one should try telling them they changed there phone to another brand and see if the massages stop comming. Or better yet move your SIM card to another phone and see if they stop. Then move it back and see if you get them again.
[G1 General] beav_35:
It looks like they are checking the radio version on our device.

[G1 General] BigWorldJust:
I have reverted back to the old messaging app that came standard on the G1 but I can't get it to show a green LED light when I have a text message like it use to. I go to settings and I don't see an option for it. As a matter of fact the options seem rather limited, and I thought there were way more before I went to Handcent SMS. But since that has given me problems I went back to the old messaging app but there is no options at all really :(. Any help?
[G1 General] Darrien13:
You posted in wrong section but open the message app and click menu and notification settings and there you go!
[G1 General] BigWorldJust:
Ah sorry about that. But when I click menu all I see is Notifications, Select Ringtone, and Vibrate. I am running Dwang's ROM if that makes a difference. I can't click Notifications to bring up a new menu, it's just a check box.
[G1 General] ilostchild:
Go to the main screen where you see all your message threads click menu check notifcation and under should be notification setings there should have blink led and led color
[G1 General] BigWorldJust:
Hmm think it had to do with my ROM. I went to the Cyanogen ROM and now the option is there. Thanks.

[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
Most common is the flex cables that run from the lcd to the keyboard area. I bet one is torn or cut. I have a cut one to prove it happens:( I have heard of others having the same issue. They are just very delicate
[G1 General] phuKKah:
I thought that could be the case, but I have examined them multiple times, they're flawless. Maybe it's just a minuscule cut that I'm not seeing, but **** I'm gunna get so annoyed using my Dash.
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
Every time I went back to my old Dash I was reminded of the good old days of rebooting daily. Yet I still keep my eyes open for a Dash 3G on CL for a good deal to become my new "spare"- when I find one I can finally retire my old beat up Dash for good

try something please as i'm curious of your problem. start the phone up and use the most powerful flashlight you have and see if the lcd is working or not. i'm curious if it is the backlight, lcd, or flexicable.

Hi Guys,

I have a "hacked" HD2 with an official HTC Rom Version 1.48. The problem is that the german Vodafone Live Portal is shown without pictures in the Internet Explorer. On my Trinity the User Agent had to be adjusted either in the registry or via Advanced Config or via cab-file.

Does anyone have experience how to proceed with the HD2. I found a thread in the german vodafone forum but the posted cab file which should solve the problem isn`t available any more - I already posted there to enable it again - i hope the owner will react. Maybe a XDA-Developer will be faster... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hoerni1000:
Any idea? :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Braakie:
The same here in the Netherlands :mad:

This is what I see, I've tried with proxy and without proxy, but it remains the same. I think the HD2 is not supported, and maby they work with a certificate.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hoerni1000:
Vodafone only allows their own branded ROMs to get full access to their Live-Portal. Changing the registry should simulate a Vodafone branded ROM like it worked already for the Trinity and other HTCs.

Cracks please help us! :eek:

Does anyone know the useragent for vodafone? with my HD i used a UA from NokiaN95 but i don´t remember where i found it :( if we had the UA we could play with the registry.

i like the vodafone live portal a lot. would be very nice to geht it on the HD2.

greetz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hoerni1000:
Solution

OK I got it! :D

1) Install Opera 10 beta

2) Start Opera - then enter in adressbox:

​

opera:config

3) In the preference area search for "User Prefs" and enter in the Custom User Agent Box:

​

Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Touch_Diamond2 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; de)

4) Go to the bottom of the site and save the configuration - then restart opera and go to the Vodafone Live Portal - Bingo!!!

Sorry I couldn`t post Links as I´m still a Noob and controlled by the Admins. :p

:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Redmen:
If you want it to Dutch language, change the last to: nl

Like this:

Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Touch_Diamond2 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; de)

will be:

Vodafone/1.0/HTC_Touch_Diamond2 Opera/9.50 (Windows NT 5.1; U; nl)

Works great, thanks hoerni1000!

[Nexus One General] ScaredyCat:
It's the oem unlock that will allow you to flash the recovery image, not root.

Sounds like it's not quite unlocked although you have the unlock boot image (which is odd).

Have you tried doing the oem unlock again and then tried to reflash the recovery image?
