My G1's trackball is weird. Sometimes it is hyper-senstive, and othertimes, it barely moves anything. Sorry, I haven't seen anything that lets you play with sensitivity levels.

-bZj
[Nexus One General] wmm:
My trackball speed is very inconsistent, as well. In text, it's ridiculously slow -- a full stroke only moves it a couple or three characters. In the browser, moving from link to link, it's almost unusably fiddly and sensitive; it can be a real chore to get the highlight onto the correct link without it shooting off someplace far away. I hope this gets addressed in an update soon.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adramelch:
Long time reader, first time poster (intimidated in the past)! Hi guys!

So here you go guys, another one who ventured into modding his phone. Seems like following the steps wasn't really going to seal it for me so I'll explain what I did and you tell me what I did wrong.

- Installed Eclipse and Android SDK and fastboot tool on my comp.

- Followed Charrion's guide to one-click rooting my device also using haykuro's root kit

*Followed his steps BUT I actually made a nandroid backup and saved it on my computer.

- Installed the latest cyanogen ROM (from their wiki) on the root of the sdcard and renamed it update.zip

After that, I followed haykuro's guide down to the first commands (after putting the radio and recovery.img on the sdcard from haykuro's give me root)

Used fastboot to input the following comands:

fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then when I try to reboot into recovery mode, I get stuck on the Rogers screen. I can still access the fastboot and when the device is plugged in through usb it shows fastboot usb on the top left but I just can't access the recovery menu.

Can someone help me? Just getting used to this forum, sorry for not following any procedures. I did read the forum rules and searched the forums. If a thread already exist, I just didn't search well enough.

Thank you

UPDATE:

I use the command prompt to communicate with my Dream in fastboot usb mode and I get the following errors:

C:\Users\Steven>fastboot erase boot

erasing 'boot'... OKAY

C:\Users\Steven>fastboot erase recovery

erasing 'recovery'... OKAY

C:\Users\Steven>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

I may have a bricked phone! Keeping faith in the hopes that one of you comes and saves me!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adramelch:
New development!

My problem was of course a noob problem! Charrion's post on another thread helped making it clear. My .img were in the same folder as fastboot but I had to specify the entire path for it to work!

Anyways got into the recovery menu and now flashed the latest cyanogen rom to my device but now it's still stuck on the Rogers screen!

Any idea?

To help, here's the info on the fastboot screen:

Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off

HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)

CPLD-4

RADIO-2.22.19.261

There!

Thank you in advance!

Hi

I have a hd2 , when I install the gps2google earth (gps2ge) on my mobile , I always get lat:0 and lng:0 . I donot see the google earth. any help pls?
[HD2 General] Stephen Selby:
Not sure what causes the problem; but do you still need GPS2GE nowadays? Google earth for HD2 uses GPS directly, and if you get the newest version, you can create 'starred places' and then share them.
[HD2 General] kenobe:
Hi

I can not find a copy of google earth for htc hd2! any help?
[HD2 General] pat12:
Doesn't exist! That's why. Look for google maps instead.
[HD2 General] kenobe:
HI

That is bad! hope htc can catch up.

Thanks for you info
[HD2 General] pmcall:
Try running QuickGPS first and then Google Maps. You should only have to do this once
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
It seems you are mixing things up here. It would not be up to HTC to code Google Earth to work with a Windows Mobile Phone. If they did that, I can hear Google's cries of IPR violations. The way I see it, Google would be quite happy to see Google Earth working only on Android phones.
[HD2 General] pat12:
Yes, you are right, moreover, I'm pretty sure that when Stephen Selby wrote Google Earth, he actually meant Google Maps and kenobe would be perfectly happy to use Google Maps instead of waiting for Google Earth! I actually find the way google maps work brilliant! Using cell towers signal to get your approximate location when you can't get a GPS fix is a great feature.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NiteFlame1003:
Hi,

as a visually impaired person I always tended to use phones with a hardware numpad or keyboard. but the diamond pro is a real brick and I'd like to use the diamond 2 much more. but the keyboard app and dialer are very hard to handle for me. what I am looking for are replacements with (customizable) bigger fonts or at least a white on black theme for better contrast. anyone can help?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] greenskeeper805:
For the keyboard I would suggest TouchPal by far the best keyboard out there.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NiteFlame1003:
looks pretty nice. although the qwerty-style keyboard is a little tiny i would love to use the phonepad style. this could really help me out.

if someone could lead me to a working white on black theme for the htc dialer (or alternative) all would be fine. I tried one, but it didn't work (guess it depends on manila version).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] greenskeeper805:
It has a two button mode as well as a phone pad option. I've used this keyboard for over a year now and can type faster than my wife can with her Blackberry.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] jkolner:
DingerKeyboard

I can highly recommend FingerKeyboard.

It can eaislybe customized and the keyboard layout is available in many different languages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NiteFlame1003:
the darker themes from the demo look very promising for me. I think i'll give it a try, too. thanks for the hint.

Hi i have a sprint htc hero that i have rooted successfully with the Modaco Custom ROM 1.1 Core but now i need help finding a apps2sd download that will work w/ this ROM and is for my phone..... I've read a few posts on people that have somewhat done this already but i honestly don't understand what they are talking about when they refer to the terminal? how do you even reach that on this phone? I have a 2GB memory card w/ like 978MB open all i need is the download and how to install it in simple terms i learned a little with the linux OS but wasnt the best with cmds! does it matter what OS your comp has? ive got Umbuntu 9.1 and Windows XP. Can anyone plz help me i dont want to have risked rooting my phone for nothing! and Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimPup:
You have to partition your sdcard then apps2sd is automatic when phone is loading
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettygeek4u:
ok great wat do you suggest with the amount of memory i have left i should partition it? do i need to back up my memory first wipe it then partition it and add it all back? thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimPup:
I have my ext2 partition set to 500mb and its always best to back everything up to be safe
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettygeek4u:
ok sorry i must be stupid! Im in my recovery n i hit the option to part sd fat32+ext2+swap but it never gave me option to set anything... wat am i doin wrong?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimPup:
That's ok it sets it all up for you I'm thinking it sets it to a 500mb ext partition
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettygeek4u:
ok ok so basically when i reboot next time i download an app from the market itll automatically save to my SD? cuz i dont see that option either im not sure it worked! thanks again for all your help.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimPup:
Yup that's the way it works
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtphoto:
you can check to see if apps2sd is working by setting it up, download an app, and then get into adb and cd to system/sd/data and then ls and you should see the app listed in that spot
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettygeek4u:
Ok I'm not exactly sure what adb is...... but I've downloaded an app looked in my astro file manager went to system/sd/ then I couldn't go any further is that an app for my phone or my computer.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adelaney:
Adb is for your computer. It allows you too manipulate the phone from a command prompt (like Linux terminal).

Hi,

I emailed HTC recently asking them about a wm6.5 update, since I was told over the phone by HTC that a 6.5 update will be released for the diamond as the "Software Dept." is working on it.

[G1 Apps and Games] xaisomboun:
a while ago, i was rom jumping left and right and i came across an app called Phone Prioritizer app.

i really liked this app, even though i wasnt sure it did anything..

i was reading about it and it says it makes sure your incoming calls dont mess up or lag or anything..

i forgot which rom had it... but would there possibly be an .apk of this app because i am currently running cyanogens latest 4.2.13 with the Darkstar theme and it doesnt have it.

sorry if this went in the wrong section btw...
[G1 Apps and Games] Cool3stNERD:
It is in KINGXKX v2.3 I am using now... I was looking it up to see what it did too.
[G1 Apps and Games] asb123:
i would love this as my phone randomly sometimes takes forever to get to the dialer.
[G1 Apps and Games] jinx10000:
I wrote the phone prioritizer app.

It started off being called phone renicer then script scheduler. It actually installs as phone prioritizer in the app drawer for all versions.

Older versions are here when it was called phone renicer:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4493992&postcount=126

Newer versions are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=558822

The older versions were simpler to use.

The newer version allowed you to schedule any scripts you want by placing them in a specific folder on the sdcard. Sample scripts are in the zip file including the phone prioritizing scripts.
[G1 Apps and Games] xaisomboun:
sweet, thanks jinx! mad props for this app. incoming phonecalls no longer lag
[G1 Apps and Games] awicks:
What priorities did you set to get no lag on incoming calls. I tried it with the default priorities (in the included txt files) but it seemed to make no difference.

Thanks

[G1 Apps and Games] 999phonebug:
Have this been included in any ROM out there?

I'm running xROM 2.0 by JAC and have already heard the fastest ring. Afraid if I install it it would mess up things and slow down...

Thanks!
[G1 Apps and Games] jinx10000:
It changed the priority of the phone higher than all other running apps.

Mike Taylor was the originator of the code to do rhis.

My program just periodically reset it since it liked to revert occasionally.

This seemed to work extremely well with the roms that were out when this was written.

I don't have a g1 anymore so I can't say how well it works now.

There was a script in the thread with the older versions that would allow you to verify the phone's priority.
[G1 Apps and Games] xaisomboun:
i set it to default and it works fine for me
[G1 Apps and Games] stooby:
It works for me using the default settings.

Thanks to all concerned.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cripth:
Dear all,

sorry if this is repost.

i found it quite trouble for me, as my TYTN II suddenly stop syncing with my notebook.

it shown Microsoft ActiveSync can't recognize any port plug to TYTN ii, even if it can't sync with notebook active sync, but the phone still able to charge via USB port, anyone experience this before?

fortunately my Tytn II still able to sync via Bluetooth connection, but NOT via USB port.

Some recommended action that i've run so far:

1. uninstall & re-install microsoft activesync 4.5

2. change usb port

3. change with different notebook with activesync 4.5

4. hard reset my device

5. flash to another ROM via USB

6. etc

after doing all the thing, but the problem still there, only able to sync via Bluetooth connection.

hope anyone could give me a clue here.

thx & rgds,
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
What OS are you running on your notebook ?

Activsync for Windows XP and earlier

Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista, Wimdows 7
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cripth:
I am using Windows XP SP3 and using Microsoft Active Sync 4.5.0 build 5096

I also have tried into Windows Vista Home premium,

and couple hours ago I've tried to sync my friend O2 and it was successfull syncing with his device, and then I re-tried to sync with mine, but no hope :(

any clue :confused: really appreciate that
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WonkotheSane:
Try going to the "USB to PC" settings on your phone (probably under Settings>Connections) and unchecking "Enable faster data synchronization."
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cripth:
hmm, I've tried that before and still no luck,

do you think any possible hardware failure
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WonkotheSane:
It's possible that you have a hardware failure. However, that seems unlikely if you can flash using USB and it can connect to those other systems. Two other trivial things to try:

1) Try a different cable

2) Is "Allow USB Connections" checked in File>Connections Settings in ActiveSync? (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, just covering the bases)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cripth:
it's okay... i am looking for clue not for arguing :D

anyway, i've done that

1) already try 3 different cable, the last one i tried is with two devices my tytn ii and my friend O2

2) already done that too, been trying uncheck/check "Allow USB connection" in Microsoft Activesync in my Ms XP SP3 notebook.

btw flashing via SD card is applicable because it's not related with USB port right :p

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mohrds:
I'm having a very similar problem. I have 2 Kaisers, one factory AT&T ROM WinMobile 6.1 and the other running a cracked 6.5 ROM.

Two computers, one Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and a desktop running XP w/SP3 32 bit.

About a month ago all phones stopped syncing to all computers. I just get a "Unrecognized USB device" error on both computers using either phone.

Does Anyone know if MS released a USB driver update that may be causing this? I have tried every possible phone setting listed on the web, uninstalled activesync on XP and nothing seems to work. It really feels like a Windows USB issue to me. Just my gut feeling.

Doug
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] WonkotheSane:
I have one more stab in the dark. Plug in your phone, open the device manager on your computer. There should be a device category called "Windows CE USB Devices." Expand that category, right click on the device in that category and uninstall it. Unplug your phone and plug it in again. This should reinstall the device driver. I'm guessing that the original drive got corrupted somehow.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] repvik:
I had a similar problem as the original poster, and it turned out to indeed be a hardware problem. The SD-card reader was faulty, and ActiveSync would not recognize the phone while an SD-card was plugged in (Nor would WM5Torage work). Removing and reinstalling drivers did not work either. The SD-card was fine, when tested in a PC reader and my Touch HD, so I figured it had to be the kaiser.

I fixed this *today* by replacing the PCB in the display part of the kaiser. Part costs about $40 (Search for item ID 380187854526 on eBay to see which part)

The disassembly/assembly instructions required are in the service manual, available at a dozen places online.

Hope this helps! (Couldn't post links :()
[Touch 3G General] meet_bijoy:
Hi All,

Can anyone please advice what is the difference between (preferably technical diff from device's perspective), the Soft Reset and Reboot of your device.

- By Soft Reset, I mean the one which we ideally do by removing the backcover of Jade and putting the stylus in Reset Button/Hole.

- By Reboot, I mean Power OFF your device with the Power button on the top of the device and then Restart/Reboot (Power ON) your device all over again.

I'm wondering are both of them same and does the same functionality at the background OR they are some way different from each other? :confused:

It might be a dump Q for many experts, but I'm just too curious.

Gurus, please throw some light on their difference.

Thanks in advance!!
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
AFAIK, it's the same.
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
I agree, AFAIK.
[Touch 3G General] meet_bijoy:
So, that means I can use them (Soft reset and Reboot) interchangeably.....

- Like after installing any third party application when it says to reset, I can just Power OFF and Power ON (reboot) the device rather then doing a soft reset. And the application will be installed perfectly as it suppose to be...

- Like I need to do a soft reset using my stylus (after removing the back cover), ONLY if my device hangs or freeze for some reason. Till then I can happily manage any reset requirement by just Power OFF/ON (reboot) my device.....

Are these inferences correct? Please share your thoughts......:)
[Touch 3G General] azahidi:
yes, your inferences are correct, AFAIK.
[Touch 3G General] MvBoe:
Agree, AFAIK. :)
[Touch 3G General] izzyzc:
I agree. Just as on a PC, shutting it down completely and turning it back on is the same as restarting it (via Start>Shut Down>Restart).

Since yesterday I am getting a warning "Storage is full" when I use youtube app on my HTC HD2. I tried clearing all the files in windows/youtube and I am still getting the error. Is there any another solution? Can I reinstall the APP?
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
I have the same problem :'(
[HD2 General] Popeyes_Rat:
For me, it seems that this issue simply comes from not having enough free storage RAM (I think you need around 5mb minimum).

Try deleting things off your device (eg/ Opera cache, old cabs... etc - ie, not just Youtube files).
[HD2 General] pastypacker:
go into the task manager and shut down all running apps, makes the world of difference
[HD2 General] Meiyo:
sorrybut I'm new to this .

How do I delete opera caches , and if i delete a cab file after i've installed it , will it affect it's function ?
[HD2 General] kilrah:
In opera settings, and no, cab not needed after install.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it's worth keeping a folder of cabs on your sd card for use if you are forced to hard reset.

Alright thank you so much ! :)
