I'll disregard your ignorant "2005" comment. I guess I don't have to say "news flash, we're in Canada", do I? Don't know why you didn't bother to ninja edit your ignorance though...

Anyway, now you understand why you haven't had 911 issues.

Regardless of the timing of this update rollout (and regardless of how quickly you believe the fix could've been created), there would still have been ignorant comments coming from conspiracy theorists. So I guess there's no point for anyone to say anything on the contrary, since your minds are set, regardless.
[G1 General] :
You clearly have no clue how telecom companies work, if it happens in the states canada is quick to follow, this means that rogers knew about it but didnt do anything until now or did it in a limited manner. As for my post i wasnt finding the canadian deadline right away so i didnt post it right away, its not a conspiracy theory its a fact, unless you give me definate proof they are doing it out of the goodness of their hearts they are crooked. Why is it they are still stuck on 1.5 can you explain that mr. Rogers?
[G1 General] dblo7:
This makes me laugh.
[G1 General] :
well at least i managed to put a smile on your gullible face.

now do you work for a telecom company , and if you do why don't you enlighten all of us of your genuine and honorable practices. if not and if you have no proof to the contrary of what the majority of us is saying i suggest you read up and open your eyes
[G1 General] znzaznza:
Well now I have been on the phone with Rogers for 5 hours in the apst 3 days and still I dont have the internet. I bought my phone from them (no contact), how can they even think of telling me that I cannot get internet without using their useless ROM.

I dont know what to say here ..

My Device is mine (Paid for)

Android is open source so my OS is mine.

URRGGGHHHH!!! I dont know what to do here. Any ideas if you can root your phone once again after installing their ROM?
[G1 General] rossdunn:
Yeah, we're screwed, Rogers has us by the short and curlies.

Hey znzaznza I share your pain! I don't know what to do. I am hoping someone here can figure out how to fix this and spoof Rogers but I have my doubts anyone has the expertise to do so.

It feels horrible but it looks like we are stuck downgrading to Rogers' crappy ROM :mad:

I can't frigg'n believe they can get away with this. There should always be a way to flick a switch once a customer says they don't need their patch. Unfortunately, this tactic is a frighteningly effective method of flushing out us warranty-breakers :-(

I hope someone comes out with some help for us!
[G1 General] ShadowerEx:
@rossdunn and znzaznza

Call Rogers, say General, Talk to Agent, General Support and get the people there to transfer you to Technical Support, then don't go to HTC/Android Support and don't press anything, let it ring into what I call the General Technical Support and tell them that you have can't get internet on your phone. He'll ask for your phone model and will try and transfer you to HTC/Android Support. Ask him how long the wait is and tell them that since he's in the Technical Support department as well, you just need a simple Network Refresh and hopefully they'll do it for you.

I did mine today and the guy (Gale I think was his name) said no problem and told me to shut off my phone and turn it back on. Didn't ask for my firmware.

I did what he told me to do and I had internet back on instantly.

Using Cyanogen Mod-4.2.13

Hope this helps

Rogers HTC/Android Support = fail :mad:

This is the actual patch commit against android. It has nothing at all to do with rogers or htc. It was PLATFORM WIDE.

You'll note the date that it was committed.... September 17, 2009.

Conspiracy Theories

I am amazed at the number of conspiracy theories being thrown around.

Personally, I think it's a liability issue. Imagine someone ends up dead or hurt because their Rogers phone didn't work with E911. This would be a major fail for Rogers. It makes no difference if you accepted liability yourself - if you were the one who ended up dead, your estate would sue Rogers.

So they have to act with diligence to ensure every phone they supplied that is broken gets fixed.

As for the perfect SPL that came with the fix, well, that falls under 'normal' behavior for a telco. I don't like it, but I can see why they may have been forced to do it.

GNoob.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
If it was a liability issue, they would have issued an update to repair JUST THAT ISSUE, FOUR MONTHS AGO.

How does cutting off data equate to diligence? Just issue an OTA and be done with it!

No it isn't. This isn't normal AT ALL. It is ONLY normal for APPLE, which acts ABNORMALLY. Tmobile never did it to THEIR dream, in fact, tmobile hasn't changed the SPL AT ALL -- every one of their devices still runs the 0.95.0000 SPL.

You can go on believing that robbers is all friendly and happy and has your best interests in mind, but ALL of the evidence points to the opposite. OPEN YOUR EYES and/or USE YOUR BRAIN.

Robbers has been involved in the worst kind of illegal business practices for EVER. Conspiring to fix prices, interference with service, illegal cancellation charges, failure to uphold commitments.

There are PILES of dirt on those dirtbags. PROVABLE. The only reason why people aren't banding together and suing them into the ground is that up until now, nobody has ever had a CHOICE regarding their service providers! On top of that, people tend to walk around with their EYES closed and BELIEVE whatever ROBBERS or BELL tells them, regardless of how ridiculous it actually is!

And how about that recent proposal they submitted to the CRTC that suggested that for any customer that leaves them, that their NEW SERVICE PROVIDER should pick up that customer's debt? CRIMINAL. If robbers wants to keep customers, they should charge SENSIBLE RATES and treat their customers as if they mattered.

I for one will NOT EVER give those douchebags another thin dime. After I transferred my number away from them, I had a fight with them over an illegal charge they tried to hit me with. A little involvement of the BBB had them bending over backwards to keep me from suing them. And then after that, they had the audacity to call me up and ask me WHY I changed providers... well that rep got a real earful and several legal threats. Goodbye douchebags! You will NOT be missed!
[G1 General] Tomy12:
lol... so what did you do with Bell when they had their monopoly? were u sucking a pacifier still? this software is just a simple fix... if you want, an easy network refresh would do that trick.

since you hate rogers so much, you should continue pursuing legal actions or complain to the parliament since you think you have such a good case. Please do it, Torontoian needs your help.
[G1 General] HyeProfile:
For all of you who are pissed at Rogers for voluntarily cutting off your data/edge/3g/internet and who have a contract, file a complaint with the Commissioner for Complaints for Telecommunications Services and mention that Rogers has voluntarily breached the terms of your contract by cutting off your data (also mention that they didn't need to cut your data since it was not related to the 911 issue), and tell them that the only resolution you will consider is that you be allowed to terminate your contract immediately and without penalty, while still maintaining your currently services on a monthly basis until you can find a suitable replacement with a competitor.

http://www.ccts-cprst.ca/en/complaints
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Fortunately, at this point, we aren't as badly stuck under monopolistic/oligopolistic circumstances. At least if you live in Toronto or Calgary (or soon Ottawa, Edmonton, or Vancouver as well). EVERYONE ELSE SHOULD take legal action against ROBBERS for this (as well as every other illegal thing they've done to limit your freedom).

And as has been stated many MANY times already, this is NOT just a simple fix. The "simple fix" should have been delivered over FOUR MONTHS AGO. THIS is a complicated series of software updates designed with the intention of LIMITING YOUR FREEDOM and TRICKING YOU INTO CONTRACTS.

I did. And won. And I don't deal with Robbers any more.
[G1 General] B3nTj:
Wait, Downloading and installing rogers fail ass rom (which by the way cannot be booted from a windows 7 computer) isnt some ploy to get me into a contract is it?
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Yes it is, because once you install it, you're SCREWED. You will be STUCK with that ROM and nothing else, and the only way to upgrade to 2.1 will be to change phones, but wow! Robbers is offering a FREE MAGIC!!! Maybe I'll take THAT since it'll go to 2.1, except that THAT comes with a CONTRACT.

It is REALLY SIMPLE. Robbers is intentionally sabotaging the DREAM so that it will NEVER be upgradeable past 1.5, while at the same time offering a "free upgrade" to MAGIC, which they claim WILL be updated to 2.1. SCAM.

So try this;

ANYBODY,

Give ONE GOOD REASON why Robbers would want to lock DREAM down to 1.5 if it is actually obsolete and if they are GENUINE in their "free MAGIC" offer (i.e. no ulterior motives). ANY good reason.

FACTS:

1) They claim that DREAM is OBSOLETE.

2) They lock it down to 1.5 permanently.

3) They offer "free MAGIC".

WHY?

WHAT is the MOTIVE?

If DREAM is obsolete and they are giving out free MAGIC, then why bother locking DREAM down?
[G1 General] JamieD81:
im running 2.1 on my rogers dream faster then i was running cm4.2.13 1.6donut..

so rogers whole stand on not possible is just bullshat and seems they want android off their system.

they no longer sell the dream, or the magic, both gone completely from their stores and site, both device's are obsolete in their eyes.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
Yes, but you were smart enough not to allow them to lock your device down to 1.5. How about for the majority of the clueless mass?

Some Luck with Rogers

I had a bit of luck with Rogers.

Yesterday when I attempted to use my phone it was automatically directed to customer service (no hold at least :)). After disagreeing with the support person for a few minutes I hung up. At that point my phone wouldn't dial out but it would still receive and text. My data has been out for a while.

I called rogers again and I got a surprise answer. In one to two weeks someone is supposed to call me, have me sign a waiver and they will connect my data again.

This is still terrible service but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
[G1 General] jisri:
Almost the same here, I attempted to use my phone it was automatically directed to customer service I asked why and they said because I have an htc and they needed to transfer me to another switch I said no if I am gonna lose my data but the customer support assured me that I wont lose the data so I gave them my phone # then they transfered me to another switch and things are good now.
[G1 General] Njord0:
I tried to make a phone call today and I got the same thing as above. No outgoing calls, all redirected directly to rogers.

So I did what the dong suggested back on page four and it worked. I told the rogers employee that I did the update the other day and the tech support i was talking to said if I don't get my data back by today, phone for a network refresh.

Worked perfectly. I now have data and outgoing calls.
[G1 General] rdfry:
I believe if you just upgrade the radio that it solves the data issue. Just don't use their rom upgrade
[G1 General] mahasmb:
Okay, this worked but a month later I've lost my data 3 times in one week! I keep calling them back, they keep restoring my data connection and then it keeps disappearing again!
[G1 General] silvrhat7:
Just do the radio update only. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
[G1 General] DigitalN.:
Ugh I just recieved my new phone from rogers after I bricked the last one with their damned update, and I can honestly say I never wish I tried to update. I used to have 3G everywhere, but with this outdated radio I rarely have 3G.
[G1 General] Njord0:
I what I wrote above works, but they'll remove your data again soon after. I updated the radio on my phone (link posted above) and I haven't lost my data once since.

As for the bad 3g coverage, I haven't notice anything different. I always have it unless I'm out in the sticks.
[G1 General] mahasmb:
Okay, so I went here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrade_Rogers_Dream_Radio

And it says:

If your HBOOT version is 1.33.2005, 1.33.2009, or 1.33.2010 this tells you that you have the correct engineering SPL and you can go on with the process. If your HBOOT version reads 1.33.0010, 1.33.0009 or similar, you are still on a Rogers stock SPL. You are required to follow the steps in Full Update Guide - Rogers Dream EBI1 to CyanogenMod to flash an

Now my radio is fine, but as a prerequisite it says I need the above HBOOT versions. But it doesn't say I have the above SPL versions. Here's everything my screen says:

DREA210 PVT 32B
HSPL10.95.3000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Oct 20 2000

Serial0

The HBOOT version doesn't seem to fit. Would it still be okay to go ahead with changing the radio?
[G1 General] beav_35:
Only do this if your phone was purchased through through rogers (and it has rogers printed on the back). I really don't know if that SPL will work with the new radio. You should flash haykuro's spl then continue on with the guide.

Download the SPL then follow the SPL replacement section from:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/app/Launcher2.odex
adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app/

Please report if it works or does not work for you.

Special thanks to cyanogen for the tip about PRODUCT_LOCALES and MontAlbert for offering to help! :)

Update:

240110: Catch some more NullPointerExceptions, as well as added a few more System.gc(). FCs still occur from time to time due to OutOfMemoryError, I doubt I can fix it without spending too much time :(.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
nice work.

Do you have any plans to mod the launcher any more?

Can i put in requests? :P

1. Folders in Launcher/tab/menu

2. Ability to hide apps

3. Ability to change number of homescreens

basically what rogro and irrenhaus did with advanced launcher.....

thanks mate. If you need help theming it etc let me know....

***edit*** i notice enomther also has a modded launcher in the themes/apps section- not sure if he has a github etc where you can collaborate.... that'd be good...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
The out of memory error is half the problem. According to the Android team, "Long pressing a widget just triggers an out of memory error. A solution (unfortunately) is to uninstall a few apps. It's a known issue that will be fixed in a future version of Android." So while I have not tried your fix yet (I will when I get around to pushing it), it "only" solves the NullPointerException problem. For those of us with 200+ apps, or I suppose a very high number of apps, the out of memory error will still occur. I'm still not sure how the number of apps installed has anything to do with it. Shouldn't it have to do with how many apps are running?

My friend is using your fix and says he hasn't had a force close since. However, I think he has less than 100 apps installed on his N1 so will not trigger the out of memory exception. I believe that this is an especial problem for people with a large number of apps. I find the answer given by the Android team member appalling. $575 for a device that, as it is, can't handle that many apps and we are now being told that the limited space is being even further limited.

Thanks for your help. Maybe I will look at the code if I have the time. I'm still working on fixes for my app so it isn't likely. :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Wysie:
Actually I doubt it's the number of applications installed, but the number of applications running. I'm currently testing another version (just added more System.gc() actually), and it's able to handle up to 2 4x4 widgets with no FCs. However, when there're 4 of 4x4 widgets, it no longer FCs, but long-press just stops working on them (due the handling the nullpointerexception). In other words, I can safely say that the NPE happens due to OOM :( (one is a precursor of the other).

In addition, I found out that when viewing a folder, the folder's title and the contents are not aligned -_-. It seems increasingly obvious to me that Nexus One, and in particular, Launcher2, was not tested thoroughly (Polar Clock FCs, etc.). Look at the following screenshot:

I've reported it as an issue: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6232
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
i will redo the ninepatch drawables from the apk you have posted in first post mate- cant test it though sorry- my nexus arrives wednesday (Australia day public holiday tuesday)...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BrooklynAvi:
I cannot agree with you more when you say that the new launcher was not tested. It fails at almost everything. I think the Android developer meant to say running apps rather than installed apps.

I am going to keep using Launcher+ for the time being. Thanks for your work on this. It is much appreciated.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
here is the Launcher2.apk with the 9patch images hopefully fixed.

try it out and let me know how it goes. i havent tested it as i dont have my nexus yet.

just remove the .zip extension and push the file across.

Still getting lots of FCs (some NULL pointer and some Out of Memory) 8-)

May be slightly less than before the update...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
I JUST RESENT YOU THE REPATCHED images (sorry about the caps- work pc has caps on all the time).... if these dont work there must be something in the code that stretches them incorrectly (if i understand ninepatch drawables properly).... i mean, the patch/black lines seem ok when compared with how you do it on G1/Magic, and the patches match up between the top and bottom of launcher (well, they do now) so that means they should be the same.

let me know how this goes. If this doesn't work may be time to hit up the godfather of theming- Stericson.

Thought this was worth passing on. Been looking for a N1 case and came across Waterfield Designs SFBags - WaterField Designs - Laptop Bags - Laptop Sleeves - Checkpoint Friendly - Travel Cases - Made in USA. I was looking for something minimalist, and inexpensive, but not cheap, and they offer a product called the Suede Jacket for the N1 that seemed to fit the bill. In addition I, like many of you, am always looking for a good cause and through February 28, 2010, they will donate 5% of all Nexus One case sales to the international medical humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders, for Haiti earthquake victim relief. Again, for those of you who are looking for a case at a good price ($9.00) and contribute to a good cause, check out this company. Their customer support has been great so far, and I will be doing a review when I receive the product.
[Nexus One Accessories] Tortri:
Link would of been nice but since I decided to search myself...

http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-one-suede-jacket/nexus-one-suede-jacket.htm

It looks good, little expensive IMO. 9 for just the sleeve and 13 for a sleeve with a pocket. Maybe if it was 5 bucks for the sleeve and 9 for the sleeve with a pocket I might bite. But seeing how a portion of this is going to Haiti that's understandable.. I'll give them that.

For me it's just a little too $ for something so simple that I can make at home with my sowing machine(though i'm sure most of you don't have one) I actually made the same thing but white for my iPod Touch about a year ago.
