Actually I deleted it. The phone was updated and working properly so I saw no reason to keep it as I could always download from the PCD website again.

Did you load other tweak cabs to your new 6.5 ROM that you had in 6.1. Maybe you did someting. Try a hard reset?

Sorry thats all I have for suggestions.

I'll Give It a Shot Doing a Hard Reset, Thanks for The Help Though
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ohaness:
Thanks for the info! I did try it and if I use the WM Start Page , the Sense Today screen animations continue to work. My personal preference will be to go back to the Sense Start Menu (smaller list that I use frequently and can easily manage) and just be aware that if I use an app from the All Programs list, I will need to restart Sense again.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] segadc:
Another way is use the latest cleanRAM and use Level 3. It cleans memory as well as resets all startup programs. So reclaim some memory and weather animations.:p
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] asmd6230:
i just stumbled on this weather bug.. pun wholly intended :P

no more weather animation of i got into all programs. i need to restart sense 2.1 to get it back. a level 3 ram clean doesnt fix it.

disabling and renabling sense in the today options also fixes it as it restarts it.

i know im brining back an old thread, but i didnt find a a fix using the search function.

im using Gen.Y D2 R5.5

I took battery out to change SIM card and now it won't start.

I get text "Touch Diamond" on the black screen and when it comes to Radio version etc. (red text i corner) it restarts!?!

I tried hard reset but it doesn't help.

Plz help I need my baby back!

Tnx

Try this

I found solution for this problem. If your diamond won't boot go to bootloader mode and upgrade your radio hxxp://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=15&Itemid=26 and after that your dimond worked fine without loosing data.

I have the same problem. After a lockup when trying to get the internet sharing to work the phone just keeps rebooting.

I tried to flash a new radi version (from bootloader mode). Everything went OK, but the phone still won't start.

Whats next step? Hard reset?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] edefux:
i have the same problem - i believe it´s battery related
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr.horndoctor:
Try leaving your device off for a bit and pull the battery. Then re-insert the battery and plug your device into the ac adapter/charger and charge it for at least 30min. Then turn it back on and see if it continues. Like the previous poster said, you could have a bad battery. Otherwise, flash the shipped rom and then see if it still does it. Then flash back to your custom rom. :)

Hello everybody and congrats for the great work!

I tried to connect to my wireless modem router at home, and I entered the wrong wep encryption key for my home network. As a result, i got a warning on my hd2's screen, and entered the correct one later.

However, I did changed the password for the wep encryption and now my mobile phone tries unsuccessfully to connect online, without giving me the chance to enter the new password.

So my problem is, that my phone has saved the first password, and whenever finds my home wireless network it tries automatically to connect with the router, without this being possible, as the password has changed. So, how can I re-enter the new password?

[G1 Android Development] MrBlueEyez:
I was wondering if there is a method to cache DNS requests? I use CM latest and was browsing around in the system folder, when i came by /system/etc/resolv.conf. Here you find the nameservers used by android to resolve DNS.

This got me thinking, because I use a DNS cache on my Ubuntu Box. Might there be a way to do this on Android, to speed up browsing regularly visited websites? Does anyone have any idea how to use a local DNS cache to speed up browsing?

Here's the deal:

- In /system/etc/resolv.conf you find 4 nameservers (4.2.2.5 - 4.2.2.2)

- Doing a ping test (count = 1000) to those, i find big differences in latency. Average was 800 on my test on 3G (I live in the Netherlands). I found this number rather large.

- On IRC, when asking this question, they mentioned porting dnsmasq to android and change nameserver to localhost

A ported version of dnsmasq is found here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/source/browse/trunk/res/raw/dnsmasq?spec=svn120&r=120

Copied the file to /system/bin, chmod +x the file, and this one works.

Now here's the thing:

- dnsmasq --help mentions a configurationfile: /data/local/dnsmasq.conf. This one have to be made for android

- how to configure dnsmasq so it uses the DNS servers and create a cache, thus speeding up browsing (in my humble belief)

- how to start dnsmasq on booting android (and making sure it stays alive)

And finally, does it make sense to use this kind of method? Like to apply for a think tank to make this work
[G1 Android Development] the_fish:
That does sound like a good idea. For me it isn't just 800ms to find out the DNS but on edge rather something like about 3 seconds! this would seriously speed the whole thing up! However, how are you gonna find the IP adresses for the first time?
[G1 Android Development] MrBlueEyez:
Well dnsmasq creates a cache, using nameservers found in the config file, if i am correct. I am looking into the dnsmasq.conf examples to see what workaround i need.. Should be pretty straightforward

resolv.conf should have nameserver 127.0.0.1, and dnsmasq should use configured nameservers like 4.2.2.5 and create a cache. Therefore apps use the dnsmasq as DNS server.

Furthermore, i am trying to find out what nameservers are the fastest. 4.2.2.2-5 are Verizon, while i am in the Netherlands. OpenDNS has a datacenter in Amsterdam, so i figured changing nameservers to OpenDNS would speed things up some more..
[G1 Android Development] olearyp:
Even better would be unbound, though the stated overhead of ~11 MB might be too much for G1/mT3G v1.

Also, do you have to do any tricks to prevent resolv.conf from being overwritten when you switch networks? I know that usually dhclient will rewrite the file, and there's a couple of workarounds, but I have no idea which ones would work on Android.
[G1 Android Development] cyanogen:
CM builds already have a dnsmasq binary in /system/bin. It's used for tethering. You could launch it with a different config file if needed (there's a dnsmasq.conf in /system/etc already for tethering). Also, the values in resolv.conf aren't really used by much anymore unless you have stuff linked with uclibc. The resolver in Bionic uses the values of the net.dns* system properties.
[G1 Android Development] MrBlueEyez:
Thanks for the reaction... You are right indeed, i found the dnsmasq.conf:

no-resolv
no-poll
server=4.2.2.2
server=4.2.2.3
interface=usb0
dhcp-authoritative
dhcp-range=192.168.77.100,192.168.77.105,12h
dhcp-leasefile=/data/misc/dnsmasq.leases
pid-file=/data/misc/dnsmasq.pid
user=dhcp
no-negcache

What you're saying is that i should create another one, but i am wondering what values i should use..

interface=?

Also, regarding your remark on DNS, how to see the values of net.dns* and how to change them? sysctl -n doesn't show these values, I must be looking in the wrong direction...
[G1 Android Development] zrubi:
Hey,

You don't have to set an interface at all.

The interface delcaretion limit dnsmasq to listen only on a specific interface (for both DHCP and DNS requests).

As far as I know dnsmasq is caching dns by default you can limit the cache size and set not to cache negative queries but it will cache by default so no special settings is needed.

In addition, Dnsmasq is also function as dhcp server and if you don't want it to try removing all lines that declaring on dhcp settings.
[G1 Android Development] MrBlueEyez:
True on that one, i want to use dnsmasq mainly on 3G

On my remark about the dns properties, already found out to use

getprop

and

setprop

getprop shows different values on DNS compared to resolv.conf:

[net.dns1.195]: [84.241.226.140]

[net.dns2.195]: [84.241.226.9]

[net.dns1]: [84.241.226.140]

[net.dns2]: [84.241.226.9]
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
You need to be aware of one thing with regards to the resolv.conf file.

It is NOT USED BY ANDROID.

If you use the command "getprop", you will see several dns entries in there -- none of which matches the static dns servers set in resolv.conf. The resolv.conf is used by TERMINAL BINARIES.
[G1 Android Development] Firerat:
might as well restrict it to the local interface

interface=lo

you can then turn off dhcp with

no-dhcp-interface=lo
[G1 Android Development] thebluecoat:
I use OpenDNS on my home network which is claimed to be better than ISP dns servers. When you signup/setup you are required to input their values for dns servers, perhaps you set these values from your phone?
[G1 Android Development] equid0x:
Not sure if Android supports this... but the easiest and least resource intensive way to do this would be to simply add your commonly used domains to the hosts file. I believe some ad blocking software used to use this to block ads.

Aside from that... Bind can be run as a caching nameserver and would probably work in conjunction with setprop to overwrite the nameserver values android tries to use...

Another interesting idea might be to run a squid cache with data stored on the SD card... this should theoretically be faster than pulling the pages over 3G, but could be memory constrained.

FWIW I did some testing with timing page loads over 3G/2G/Wifi... and I found that the bottleneck for page loads on the G1 was not in fact the speed of the network connection(3G and WiFi were virtually identical - 12Mbps cable, 2G slightly slower), but CPU time spent in rendering(well, possibly memory related as well, but the G1 is always memory constrained so its hard to tell). The biggest speed improvement I experienced was in turning off Javascript.

I also tested Stock vs Dolphin vs Steel and found Stock & Steel to have very similar numbers, with Steel having a slight edge sometimes. Dolphin was always orders of magnitude slower.

IMHO The only real way to speed up browsing on the G1 would be to utilize an external compression proxy to reduce the amount of data being sent across the network to the G1, or to rewrite the browser/Dalvik VM/whatever to be more efficient. I tried the external proxy method but couldn't seem to get it to work.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
good thought...i'll tinker w/ this some

also dot folder
[G1 Android Development] MrBlueEyez:
@equid0x Good thoughts... I used Opera on Android, which uses a compression proxy. Runs fast. Might be an idea to look into this for the native browser and abandon the idea to cache DNS.
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
I think I have dnsmasq playing nice w/ this config:

no-resolv
no-poll
server=4.2.2.2
server=4.2.2.3
listen-address=127.0.0.7
interface=lo
pid-file=/data/misc/dnsmasqcache.pid
user=dhcp
no-negcache

it's listening on UDP port 53 -- seems to be doing its thing..

you're right..resolv.conf doesn't affect anything I do.

but I don't see any entries like net.dns* when i

#sysctl net

What am I missing about how Bionic does things?
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Use:

# getprop
[G1 Android Development] alapapa:
Thanks.

i can:

# setprop net.dns1 127.0.0.1

# setprop net.dns2 127.0.0.1

and it uses dnsmasq for a while, then they change back to t-mobile's (seems like it happens when i change towers or it goes from 3g->edge or vice-versa

does net.dnschange have any ability to control this?

know where I can find any documentation on the dhcp process that populates these values?

edit: just tested again and the settings persisted all night. performance wasn't noticeably different than normal. I'll try to do some more scientific tests and report back..

dnsmasq cpu problem

Hi Guys,

I've implemented the dnsmasq with my adhoc connection. My config file is:

no-resolv

no-poll

server=10.50.30.254

listen-address=127.0.0.1

interface=lo

pid-file=/data/misc/dnsmasqcache.pid

user=dhcp

no-negcache

addn-hosts=/data/misc/dnsmasq-host

cache-size=65536

local-ttl=86400

where the dnsmasq-host file is a copy of http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt to avoid advertising site.

After few minutes I run dnsmasq I get the cpu at 100% and the process sayd:

dnsmasq: Unknown cmd ''

dnsmasq: Unknown cmd ''

dnsmasq: Unknown cmd ''

I've tried only with few config options but the result is the same.

Do you know what is that?

Hello Guys,

I want to know if there's an app out there (or setting in the phone by default) where I can hold down the call key when there is a phone call, and it answers the phone in speakerphone mode.

I searched around and found a "speakerphone" app where it either turns the speakerphone mode "on" or "off" for all calls. I want to do this selectively for each call. Thanks in advance

While searching for a suitable spare battery for my hd2, I came across the official extended battery from HTC - hadn't seen any feedback from the forums so thought I'd post it here.

Search for it on the HTC accessory store (sorry, I can't post links as a newbie).

2300 mAh [good]

Has a stand [probably good]

Not due till 5th April [bad]

Costs 50 british pounds!!! [bad]

It sure is ugly [really bad]

I dunno if I'm gonna bother waiting - for that price, I can buy about 10 cheapy standard batteries on ebay.
[HD2 Accessories] markarty:
Too expensive for what it is... why don't you simply buy 2 other extra batteries on ebay for 10 USD for one... much more better alternative no ?
[HD2 Accessories] smorg12:
well standerd is 1230mAH and i just bought a 1600mAH battery from ebay for £5.99... will see how it goes when it arrives but imo its not worth £50 for the official extended although it does include the back panel (pictures of it are in another thread)
[HD2 Accessories] p3eps:
I emailed HTC about the official battery as I need a decent extended battery with 2x capacity rather than a 1600mah or so (although I ordered one of them of ebay the other day!).

They said they still can't confirm when it'll be ready - most sites are expecting it in April just now.

There will be an HD3 before it arrives!!

[HD2 Accessories] kilrah:
I too find they've done a great job with the extended battery and cover.

Stop dreaming, an extended battery will always be bigger and thus will stick out, no way around that... there's no point in offering an extended battery with 20% more capacity that fits in the normal volume. If you want an extended battery it's to have at least twice the capacity...

But at least they keeped it quite stylish with a suitable metal cover and not some cheapo piece of plastic. The stand is awesome for video/GPS, which are the main reasons you'd use an extended battery for...

On no phone is an extended battery an accessory meant to be nice looking and/or for everyday use. You put it in when you expect you'll need a lot of juice, like travelling...

For everyday use I just keep a second standard battery in my bag, in case I need it, which normally doesn't happen.

You're optimistic. In that field from "Prototype" to "commercial production" you can easily count on 3-5 years.

It's no easy task, even if the effort put into it is huge. Everybody is craving for new better batteries, so the market and potential gains are trememdous for the first who finds something that actually is better.

I got a £6 Andida 1600mah one from ebay (Hong Kong!) today, so I'll give that a charge overnight and see how it goes. I'm not holding out for much, but at least it will give me a few hours extra film watching on the plane on my holidays in a weeks time :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phenexx:
Hi all,

I thought i would share some issues that i had recently since using some of the roms available here. Since the weekend i discovered that many texts were not reaching me. The senders were getting delivery reports but they were not receiving on my hero handset.. I tried reflashing the radio and roms but it always continued happening

I googled this and learned that others were having these issues and the one thing they had in common was ... task killer apps. I was using estrong task manager and another advanced task killer app.

Anyway, since removing the task killer apps i haven't experienced this issue (however i still have a prob where i can't kill tasks lol). Thought i would mention it here in case anyone was noticing anything similar. Or maybe someone knows exactly what tasks the progs might be killing that would cause texts not to come in.. From all appearances the network connection was fully active and internet was still working.

note: I do not use taskkillers
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phenexx:
Hmm it seemed to do the trick for me.. Although the thread i read suggested that this person resolved it by removing task killer apps and cleaning out old system directories on his sd card so i did that too just in case (i had lots of crap left over from previous roms)
