WTF....

This phone is impossible to root (over acting,but pissed off) I've tried everything I've read online...I was able to build a goldcard from unlockr's web page,and when installing the sappimg file the damn phone still doesn't want to give up the 1.6....there has got to be something or someone out there that has encountered this bullchip and fixed it :mad:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] yankees27:
I have a 32B mytouch. did you try unrooting first, before rooting? Just a thought bc i had to do it before rooting, and i had never rooted my phone before that.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dynamisoz:
do i have root???

HBoot - 1.33.0006 (SAPP 30000)

CPLD - 10

Radio - 2.22.19.261

As i search the forum, i realized that i have "perfected SPL"...that would require me to go through "goldcard" method. I tried and it was so complicated for me...

And then i saw this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633895 which said you should follow cyanogen's method on this site http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod.

so i follow the steps and everything worked out and now i have cyanogens rom running on my MT3G. .... now my question is ....do i have root??...

can i flash other people's roms assuming i have all the right radio and SPL...

when i try to install Amon_RA's recovery img through Terminal Emulator, after i type $su and hit enter....nothing happens....it does not ask me for su permission????.....

Please Help....If i dont have root how was i able to flash cyanogens rom??

do i need to do the goldcard method....or am i set...with root.??

Hello..

I would like to ask a couple of questions that torture me and i can't find the answer im looking for.

First of all: if i install a cooked rom( i found one from miri) would that lock my Diamond back to O2, or will it remain unlocked??

Second: now that i downloaded the cooked rom, what else do i have to do to install it? i have tried to do it but i get an error message that there is a connection error..

Do i have to install anything else?for my TouchHD you pointed out a post to install something from Olinex(Hard-SPL) before i could flash any rom and now its fine..is there a similar post for the diamond??

thnx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] realazyjai:
1) If your phone is "SIM" Unlocked, then it will remain unlocked - cooked roms will not effect it in any way.

2) Read this post and it'll explain everything in depth. So you pretty much ensure hard-spl is install, then you're off. You can flash roms either through custom-ruu, or through your internal storage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] jacky83:
thnx a lot mate...i've tried everything it is on the post, but it stucks on the 0%..over and over again...i dont know if it is something locked..because i bought it from orange..soo im not sure..i tried installing a rom update from a post that said do this, when ur update stucks at 0% and nothing..

Hello all,

I have a client with 500 HTC Shifts that he wants to use as interactive advertising screens.

The problem we have is we need the devices to turn on (or resume if sleeping) whenever power is applied to the device. They are going in Taxis, and need to come on with the meter.

HTC have refused to do the job as "the unit is already at its End of Life".

A bios/software solution would be best, but a harware hack is not out of the question.

If you can do it, PM me a quote.

We are happy to also post the results on the forums.

[Nexus One General] xspyda:
Long time lurker here and I have migrated from Winmo back in the day to Symbian and then to HTC's N1. Have also tried many other deivces along the way but thought this could have been it!

Unfortunately, I have been spoiled by the Nokia 5800. The sound quality from this thing is superb both for music playback and for speakerphone and I use it for both these purposes a lot. I had read about the N1 sound quality but thought the other bells and whistles would make me forget about it, sadly not.

The N1 I am sure is a great device but for now I am back to the Nokia. Perhaps with a little more time and patience I would learn to love the operating system of Android 2.1 but the hardware limitations (speaker and camera in the main) have led me to place my 2 day old Nexus One on the market.

For anyone interested, it's in the marketplace HERE for £449.99.

I will keep a close eye on Android and with MWC just around the corner, perhaps I will be tempted back when the hardware is available to match the O/S!
[Nexus One General] clintm33:
That's $707.25... I can buy a new on and have it sent overnight for ~$600.

Not trying to troll or anything, just a tip if you plan on selling it to anybody in the US.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
I would troll.. thats a ripoff and he knows it :mad:
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
To bad it did not work out for U...mine keeps getting better by the day! Well best of luck to ya selling it at that price...
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
I am going to bite my tongue... your logic is very flawed in many ways.
[Nexus One General] JanetPanic:
It may not be a rip off when you include the VAT he would have had to pay. We can get it cheaper here in the U.S. sure, but what is the total bill (including VAT) for someone in the U.K.?

IRT sound quality the speaker phone is utter crap but music is not bad if you have a decent set of headphones attached.
[Nexus One General] Abbsta:
It sounds about right. My total came up about £441 after the VAT.

I agree re speaker sound but I'm saving up for QC 15 and I hope it will sound good enough not to buy an dedicated player.
[Nexus One General] codyt01:
I have been using my Nexus one since the day after it was announced. I also have an HD2, iPhone 3Gs and we just got a new Palm Pre Plus to play around with testing for our users. Overall, my favorite is the N1 for customization, but there is one thing with the N1 that keeps pulling me back to my jailbroke iPhone and that is they keyboard. The iPhone keyboard is just so much easier to use. The only reason I can understand why is that it has multitouch. I often miss letters while keying on the N1 and best I can tell its when I hit the next letter before I lift my other thumb off the previous one. So I can type so much quicker on the iPhone over the N1. Why can't the keyboard be multitouch on the N1?
[Nexus One General] bofslime:
Why use speaker phone, and the external speaker to listen to music anyway? Get a decent set of headphones and a BT ear peace and be done. The former were never intended to be used in such a way for longer than when you have nothing better available and need to set the phone down. Its like expecting your netbook to game like your desktop, you set your self up to be disappointed.
[Nexus One General] bengrulz:
Try smart keyboard pro from the market
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
I will admit, the speaker on the N1 is not that great.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
I agree with this so much, I honestly do not know what you were expecting from a mere cellphone - even though some may have superb sound playback, I honestly never have "high expectations" for the quality of the speaker. Honestly, I never knew people so extensively used the speakerphone on a device enough to actually make them completely regret the phone.

I also thought that having a 5 megapixel camera (with flash) would make the phone an awesome device to take pictures with, it seems to me you simply wanted to complain, then sell the device - and this seemed to be the correct place to do it. I know that I'm wrong, but thats my 2 cents on the matter..
[Nexus One General] SANTilt:
I use my N1 for music all the time, and think it sounds great. In the dock over bluetooth to my computer's speakers it sounds great. With my QC2's plugged in it sounds like I'm in da club.

The speakerphone is a speakerphone...I don't expect 5.1 out of it. What's with people???

I hate the standard OSK, so I installed the HTC-IME, and love it! Why do people quit so easily these days when we have SO many options?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Wow, what an idiot.

From the other thread:

So your only reason, let me rephrase, the

***ONLY***

reason you are returning it is because the speaker is not loud enough?

A) There is an audio hack in the works that will make the N1 MUCH louder than your Nokia, guaranteed. Here are the links for the N1 (in production) and G1 hacks:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618058

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=517745

B) Why don't you try using the rest of the phone???

C) You're selling it for $175 more than the unsubsidized cost. WTF????

This has to be one of the dumbest threads I've seen in a long time.

????????
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
He's right in that the phone's speaker does leave something to be desired--Nokia phones generally have higher-equality speakers, what with them taking their "music phones" awfully seriously (I came to the N1 from the 5730 Xpressmusic: ****ty phone in every way but playback quality). It's a shame their devices aren't good for much else. Well, except durability. Those little buggers can withstand a lot of abuse.
[Nexus One General] AndyCr15:
I find it amazing that just because of the speaker he's prepared to loose all the other fantastic benefits of this amazing device... but still, different people, different priorities I guess. Myself I bought an £8 Veho360, very small and makes the music/podcasts sound like they're coming from a Hi Fi (Well, not quite... :) )

On the price, it is a bit cheeky he's trying to then make a profit. Mine cost £355 shipped and I may get a £60 VAT receipt soon. Having said that, there are peope on eBay asking £500 for it... I assume some idiots pay that.
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Yeah, I wish my speaker was louder too (because I prefer to carry only one device to act as phone, tiny computer, media player and all) but it's far from a dealbreaker. Listening to music on it while out in public places is obnoxious, anyway, so I use the headphone.

Speaking of which, many people in countries other than the US/UK/Singapore/Hong Kong are quite willing to pay in the region of $600-800 for the phone. Makes me wish I'd ordered a few extra. Would've made a tidy profit.
[Nexus One General] colonel:
I have to say this is way off the mark.

firstly the 5800 is rubbish. I had one and the earphone volume was ultra low until you pushed the case. Faulty connection in 90% of 5800's made. the OS is a nasty mess of s60v3 and touch. Sometimes you need single touch, sometimes you need double touch.

The contruction quality is poor, to be charitable.

You might be right about the sound quality, I gave my 5800 back within 2 days so never really tried it. but HTC devices normally have pretty good sound, perhaps a third party player with different codec might improve, or further roms might improve in the future.

On every other stat I wouldn't even bother to compare the 5800 to the N1
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
Not a ripoff if he sell it in the UK, and he will know there is no way a US citizen is gonna buy it, why would they?

They are selling on eBay for more than that over here.

Kev
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
A bit unfair on the guy, I agree the speaker is silly bad, and why? Nokia can and do put some nice speakers in some phones, 5800 and N95's come to mind as brilliant, and some stinkers a bad as the N1, like the E72, N97, N97 mini.

Even the iPhone speaker from flipping 3 years ago sounds quite nice when you have no choice but to use it instead of headphones.

Kev
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
This is a bugbear for me as well, and I thought the N1 did already have MT in the keyboard even BEFORE the recent MT update?

Does the N1 have MT in the keyboard guy?

To bring it back on line, there are a few things keeping me on the 3GS (I am trying to swap) and keyboard is one, but I will improve at that so that is OK. What will never improve is that speaker, and unlike some people here I completely get how, if you come from a "rubbish" (someone elses quote not mine) phone like a Nokia 5800 to the Nexus One, is it unreasonable to expect at least equiv quality from the speaker?

I listen to a lot of podcasts and trying to listen to that girl on Twit last night with the high voice was painfull, had to turn the speaker way down to just tolerate it.

There are times, like at work when i want to have a podcast in background where it would be impossible to use headphones or bluetooth speakers or whatever.

Kev
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
Is there any need to be rude though? I think he is right in that if he uses the on board speaker a lot, it really could be a dealbreaker.

Now, I will say for me, if I can get around some of the other issues I have, I will put up with the crap sound.

I also doubt increasing the VOLUME will do anything other than make it worse :-(

As for your pricing issues with the guy, in the UK it is a fair price.

Look, I think if you spend around $668 which is what they come to in the Uk with VAT, you should expect to get a speaker that sounds as good as a $300 5800?

Kev
[Nexus One General] shmigao:
Meltus' LouderVolume hack for G1 didn't only increase volume, but also made it better on on-board speaker, headphones and bluetooth headset, if one used the right settings. for one, it created a better bass, without any noticable distortion.

I still hope that this app can be ported to Nexus One. Meltus is researching it as i see from his other thread.
[Nexus One General] kevwright:
That would be good, I think it does just need less treble actually. For me it will be used only for voice, not music.

Will this hack need root? I want to keep my warranty.

Kev

Same thing goes for Superuser.apk, however, i Browser.apk works.

Can someone tell me what do i need to do to make this work? Short of replacing these apps from ones with a different build?

Oh, and before anyone asks why don't i just use Amon Ra's ION - I did, and it's great, but VPN is broken, and it works in this one :)

I just got a new N1 and the bottom volume button is mushy and doesn't click. If you press down on it hard enough it will adjust the volume just fine, though. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a a way to fix it? Is this compelling reason to send the phone back? Will it affect the resale value?
[Nexus One General] jsoverson:
Mine is the same; it is responsive but 'mushy' and does not click.

If yours is unresponsive then I would consider sending it back. If it is just an annoyance based on your preference for tactile feedback then it probably isn't significant in terms of resale potential.
