Just ask the flight crew

As to whether you are allowed to use GPS receivers on board, it is at the discression of the pilot on the day. However, this list may be of use as to the general airline policy.
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Thanks for the replies folks. I've already seen that list but cheers anyway. There are revisions to their rules almost daily. I'm still wanting to know mainly if the Touch HD chipset is just the receive type and the architecture side of it now, as I already know that most gps devices are able to function on a plane. Sirf III is apparently a receive only chipset. Does the Touch HD have this or another type?

Unfortunately when you ask the flight crew anything slightly technical and due to the "nature of the world we live in today" (to coin a crap phrase) they apparently aren't allowed to ask these types of questions with the pilot in flight. No idea why not, so most the time they just tell you to put it away. That's why I'm trying to find out before I get on the plane.
[Touch HD General] telegraph0000:
Why don't you just turn your GPS on and as the pjane is doing its impression of the 'Vomit Comet' into the Atlantic, reply to this thread with your findings...
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Because there's no onboard Wifi or phone signals. :rolleyes: I'll try spell out something using floating corpses, just for you though. ;)
[Touch HD General] c_lee:
Your GPS doesn't transmit anything, ever - you're not allowed to transmit on the GPS frequencies. A

differential

GPS unit can use a second radio antenna to converse with its sister station, but nobody yet makes a phone with diffGPS.

Important to read this thread though:

as the "flight mode" doesn't actually work the way it says it does.
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Excellent thank you, that's what I wanted to know.
[Touch HD General] stuntdouble:
Well I got a response from Easyjet (posted in my 1st message), and as I suspected, it didn't really answer my question. Oh well, I guess I'll ask when I get on the plane.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
Hey everyone...I wanted to share something I came across (I did not do ANY of the work...I simply found this in another forum and didn't see it here so I wanted to post it to XDA). For any of you who like the cool news and weather widget from N1's 2.1 build...some smart people ported it over to 1.5, and it works (I tested it out on my CDMA hero). They uploaded it as a .RAR file (as opposed to a .zip), but just download winzip's free trial version and extract using that. Here's the link!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DYWP2DON

Just extract the apk file from RAR, put it on your hard drive and navigate to it with some kind of file explorer (Astro file manager, etc) and click on the apk file. Your phone will ask you if you want to install it. Once installed add it like any other widget (it will be under Android Widgets).

Edit: Some people on the other forum are experiencing force closes upon reboot. I rebooted to check and did not have any problems. I hope all works for you as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Sweet, will try it out!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] SupahDave:
Nice find! It works perfectly. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cyclonebee:
Could someone please rehost this elsewhere? I'm having problems with megaupload lately.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] noonanjs:
are you guys updating through recovery or pushing it through adk
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rulermon:
works great

This works great tell them great job and thanks for bringing this to xda
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
can someone post a screenie of the reader and does it have a widget?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] whatsleft4her:
so far this works great for me!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] imb951:
+1 request for a screenshot.

I can extract a RAR file, but are you guys putting it back in a ZIP and flashing it through recovery or ADB push into what directory?

How exactly are you getting the widget onto your phones?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] cyclonebee:
I'd like to know this as well.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] animal7296:
I downloaded it, Un-Rar'd it and used HTC sync App Installer and it works beautifully. No need to re-zip it. It is in APK format.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gomorrah:
Inside the RAR file is the .apk. Extract it, put it on your SD card and use a File Manager to install it. As far as screenshots, if you've ever used the 2.1 ROM, its the same widget.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
sweet thanks for that info thats what I was hoping for. love the reader widget been waiting for it to get ported.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
It looks like you just extract the apk from the rar and then install it. I'm making a BART backup first before I try to install it (I needed to backup anyway).

I'll post back with a screenshot unless someone beats me to it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wtphoto:
dang not the one that I was looking for I really would like to see the RSS reader from the 2.1 build ported I really like that one over any of the ones available on the market.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:

Weather

News
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] HeroMeng:
Thanks for this. Works great on AOSP 1.6
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] imb951:
Installed, tried all the configs, uninstalled. Not as cool as I was expecting it to be. The HTC weather widget is better. This one is quite bland. I'd rather install a separate news ticker app.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:

I posted screen shots to the original post.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] afazel:
Seems kind of laggy.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] chuckhriczko:
It is laggy when switching between topics. This has been on the Sense 2.1 rom since it was released and it has always been laggy. I think that's just the way the app was developed. Nothing we can do about it.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] rockcrawler:
Here is another download link for whomever requested

DOWNLOAD
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] daafisch:
Just put it on. Seems to work pretty good
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] athlet1c:
Couldn't you just name the file .zip fir those with a problem with .rar. not opening
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
I didn't make this file. I simply found it in another forum and posted it to XDA to share the love. But like I said in the first post, you should be able to extract it using a free trial version of winzip (on your computer). That's what I did. Hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
7zip will do it too, plus its free/open source!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tokuzumi:
Will this work on an un-rooted hero?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
if i had a un-rooted hero i would tell you, but since you probably have one you should test it and tell us :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
I'm not quite sure...why don't you try and find out and let us know how it works? Just go to settings, click on applications and make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked. Once you do that, just follow the directions that are posted on the first post. I don't think you can brick your phone if it's not rooted...so it's worth a shot (but you might want to wait and see what other people say).

Hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Grinder16:
figured it out -
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrcharlesiv:
Love this! Running with Gumbo 1.5c and has zero lag. I used 7zip to extract... just opened the archive and copied to SD. Thanks for posting this!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mr. Biggz:
Now under my apps section in my sig in apk format.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
Works, but upon reboot it is stuck on 'connecting' for several minutes now. Phone has a signal.

Also keeps defaulting back to News + Weather widget. Doesn't seem to keep just the weather widget setting saved.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] raylusk:
Thanks. Downloaded it directly to my phone and installed it. Works great.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Gregalous:
Same here.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Lessthantito:
Works good for me no problems on Fresh 1.0 with Gumbo Kernal
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scott2020:
I downloaded from the link in the first post (megaupload?) and my machine was infected with the Paladin virus. I'm not trying to troll or whatever, but as soon as I download and extracted, I had pop ups all over and porn on the desktop.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] alexthearmo:
bummer. I didn't have this problem, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this link. Has anyone else experienced this problem (virus/pop-ups)???
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] afazel:
I didn't, but I might have been in Ubuntu at the time :P
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
The page was blocked for me - this could have been why. I don't block anything on the network but Eset shuts stuff down sometimes before it can become an issue. Glad I didn't work around it that time.

Edit:

On the other side porn pop ups may have been an upside to the day. :D
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scott2020:
Normally I would say sure, porn icons are a refreshing change! :p

I am going to create a VM and see if I can reproduce it. Sophos AV did jack to block whatever it was. There were several trojans loaded with the Paladin stuff. No removal tools could get rid of it. I saw a command window with SPAM in the title bar and bunches of email addresses scrolling through. I'm screwed!

But the plugin works great.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ItsDon:
I can't get the weather to update automatically based on "my location", I have to manually input a zip code. Any one else have this issue?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fatkitty420:
Works great for me. 1.5c Gumbo w/kernel. No lag. Stays up to date. So much better than the HTC weather widget - which wouldn't update. The news add-on is the best considering it takes info from so many sources and has specific topics.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
Is there a clean zip of this without the viruses then?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] bray424:
I just scanned both the rar archive and the apk file itself with Nod32 and both were reported clean.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] scott2020:
I used the link again on a virtual machine and didn't get infected. Maybe one of Mega's flash banners had something in it or something. I do know for sure that yesterday I was infected after going there. Oh well!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
Ok, just wanted to be sure, haven't installed Vipre yet lol Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
sorry for the double post, but could someone reup to another host? some reason I can't download it from MU...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] omeganot:
I too am experiencing issues with this on reboot. Any developments in why this might be happening?

I'm running Pancake 0.1, and installed the apk by using "adb install".
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Jedis:
It stays on connecting forever, until you swipe to another screen and back again updates the widgets. Still no word on a fix for it changing the widget upon reboot though.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Noirad:
site

whats the other fourm site that you got this from?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mercado79:
Not sure if it's the same one, but I'd seen it over on MoDaCo's site:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] omeganot:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] fixxxer2008:
i had to uninstall this, force closes and doesn't update. plus the fact the black background looks all distorted. :(
[Nexus One General] GlenH:
If I set the min cpu speed to the minimum (245MHz) using SetCPU and then refresh the CPU monitor, it's always at Max (998MHz).

However if I set the min to 384MHz and refresh, it's at 384 (unless something else is going on in the background in which case it might increase a bit).

This is all with the CPU governor set to on-demand

If I set MAX cpu to 245 then the monitor says it's 254, btw, so it seems it can run at that speed fine and the monitor is working ok apparently. It's just with min speed set to 254, it seem to stick at 998Mhz.

Does anyone else see this behaviour?

It this just a problem with SetCPU, or an underlying issue?
[Nexus One General] GlenH:
well, having played around with it some more, it seems it's actually the cpu speeding itself up so rapidly when monitoring it that it registers max MHz!

If I increase the up threshold, or the sampling rate, so that it doesn't step up a gear so quickly, then the monitor reads 245MHz.

This does raise the question though that if simply pressing the refresh button is enough to up the cpu to max when it's at the default settings, maybe there are better settings for battery life?

Maybe a slightly higher minimum speed is better, so that it doesn't step up all the time (because when it does, it seems to go straight to max).....
[General Questions and Answers] Exca:
Something that annoys me - really annoys me - is the fact that when i go to my inbox with textmessages, and i open a conversation, the onboard softkeybord appears and there is only a bit of the conversation visible. If i would want to reply there; i think i would rather press the keybord button to let the keybord show up. I think it's much more convenient.

does there exist a tweak for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
Hi all,

i really like to know why almost every 2.1 rom cant connect BT headset during calls.

can someone help me find a stable 2.1 rom with

working

bluetooth during calls?

tnx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
no, Ask HTC for the drivers ;) I'm also waiting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Villain Rom (HTC Sense 2.1) has working BT Audio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Again, you beat me to it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
during calls???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just advertising your great work, trying to save you a job
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes I use it all the time.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
sorry my bad. What about vanillain? Only thing still waiting for was bluetooth and calling and 5mp cam
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Vanillain is based on jnwhiteh's version of CyanogenMod. I'll only be tweaking that one, it's not my own work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
:( *snif*....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
nprussell, is BT during calls work on your rom (Villain) ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
In his sense rom it does.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
nice :)

i`ll wait for 3.0 (coming today right?) and give it a try ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
You will get 3.0 in a beta form soon if you have donated, if not will probably be saturday, look at his thread for that rom for the full explanation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xhexx:
[Rom] KaguDroid 1.2.2 (14-01-2010) Now based on CyanogenMod sources!

[ROM]-[OPEN BETA - 14/02/10] VillainROM 3.0 (HTC Sense Enabled Android 2.1)

A2DP - works, AVRCP(media keys) - works, hands-free-calls - WORKS!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] grassiekuik:
With CKdroid 1.6 final. BT calls will also work. Just got it confirmed from exit93_dev
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
GREAT news !!!

tnx :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] xhexx:
but NOT work in this release

a2dp - works

media keys works partly, just NEXT/PREV keys (PLAY/PAUSE/STOP - not work)

hands-free-calls - not work

/tested on Sony DR-BT50 phones
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
It was a problem with 2.1 audio files or something I think it works in sense roms as its part of the HTC files which don't work with non sense roms.

However some really smart people may be able to get it to work in non sense roms Queue Exit93
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] saar73:
true.

hands-free-calls - not work :(

so i "left" only with VillainROM right? no other 2.1 roms..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yeah I think that's your only option at the moment.

But I have to say its a great rom and version 4.0 will be released within the next week (or thats the plan anyway)

I've read the following articles

http://www.tombom.co.uk/blog/?p=124#googtrans/auto/it

They show how to implement usb host on Hero and Droid. It's possible to do the same thing on G1 and Magic 32B? What about usb host driver?

Thank you.

Yes, at least on the magic Andrew's patch works with minor changes. Watch the android-kernel list for a cleaned up patch in the next day or so.

[G1 Android Development] lolmensch:
think so too. anybody is able to do it? (except firerat anderweb and cyanogen as it seems they are doing enogh other stuff)
[G1 Android Development] axlastro:
Bump for that USB host
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
I'm not sure if you people realize this, but there is more to getting USB devices working than simply enabling "host mode". In fact, you need drivers for the specific hardware, and you need something to detect plugging and activate the drivers. Also FYI: You need to build an interface between android and those hardware drivers, otherwise you're stilll not getting anywhere.
[G1 Android Development] :
Bump

I wish I knew about development enough to contribute. This seems like it would be top priority.
[G1 Android Development] Herbi3221:

does anyone know if this is stock on any of the froyo roms?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeoreDX:
On each side of the keyboard there is a crescent shaped piece of clear plastic sort of like a screen protector. Is this something you are supposed to remove or is it there to protect the paint from opening/closing of the unit?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] carhigh:
Your better off leving it on. If you take it off, there are two little nubs on the back of the screen that ride in that area to keep space, and if you remove those plastics, it makes marks on either side of the keyboard. If you tilt you screen up and look at the back. the tiny nubs are near the 2 screws.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jurgy1:
I suggest leaving it on. It does seem to help keep the sliding movement of the screen from digging in to the case.
[HD2 General] DN41:
hey guys,

i have a problem with my HD2.

For some time the Internet doesnt works via wireless lan anymore.

I can connect me with the network and everything is correctly entered (IP, etc).

the IP of the hd2 can be pinged by CMD on pc.

the funny thing is that when i load a website in opera, send a mail in outlook, etc., it always shows a "server problem".

The hd2 is set so that it will automatically connect to the "My Work Network".

I've done a hard reset, however, brought no improvement.

w-lan is also sampled at 2 different routers (different security levels), but everywhere the same.

is the problem just some adjustment in the htc?

or it may be a hardware problem?

Thanks for your help.

DN41

maybe this will help:

got the hd2 with 1.43 GER T-Mobile -> SSPL -> 1.48 (everything worked fine) -> HSPL -> 1.66 (problem exists) -> (HSPL almost on hd2) -> 1.48 (problem exists)

could the HSPL cause such a problem?
[HD2 General] MichelDiamond:
have you changed Energy mode?

(einstellungen->verbindungen->wlan->erweitert, Energie-Optionen auf "leistungsoptimiert")

otherwise: change Radio?
[HD2 General] DN41:
Nope, i didnt change the energy mode.

i switched to every mode and tested it, but there is no change.

how can i change radio? (sorry, for some aspects i'm really a noob with winmo :D )

can you please point me in the right direction, for example a tuorial or somthing like that?

how about this one?

[HD2 General] DN41:
hey boys,

i was yesterday at my sisters house and tried for fun with her w-lan.

and you won't believe: it worked!

DHCP and WPA active, nothing else.

full of happyness I went back home: it did not work.

then I resetted the router to factory settings and entered only the connection data of the provider.

no security, no macfilter, DHCP activated, and it still does not work.

connection is made, but no access to the Internet.

I'm really baffled.

gave me n idea?

my 2nd router works with hd2 as I said not :(

LG

DN41
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
The Problem is you should have it set up as internet and not work network. That worked on my 1.48
[HD2 General] DN41:
which setting do you mean? there are many settings where i can choose "network" or "internet" and i think i tried already everythink containing to this.

DN41
[HD2 General] TicKByT:
Go to the WiFi connection place (where the Wifi switch is and it shows ur acess point underneath) go to Advanced > Change Network then select ur AP and make sure 'Connects to:' is set to 'The Internet'.

Hope it helps, it worked for me
[HD2 General] DN41:
i've already "internet" in there... :(

Description

Basically I have taken Kos's theme and made it more of a black/grey theme. I have gone deeper into the OS and replaced most of the green stuff with black/grey etc.

There are also bits from themes found at xda for other Android devices. Ended up doing a lot more than what i should of really :(

There is still a bit of green left and most of it is where it makes sense to have it (some check boxes, indicators etc).

WORKS ON MoDaCo MCR3.1 & 3.2 Beta's ROM.​

Fixed or should i say replaced, the lock screen for a different one . Hopefully that is it :P​

MetaMorph Version​

>>>​

GET IT FROM HERE <<<​

Update.zip Version​

>>>​

COMING SOON <<<​

This theme is purely for people who like black/dark themes. Please don't write bad feedback or that it isn't to your taste, as i won't change it or provide reasons for my choices :P .

Use the attached Wallpaper for use in SenseUI. In Android it is already default ;)

Big thanks to Kos for base theme, tristan for inspiration ;) & all the CREATORS & ORIGINATORS of anything that may of been theirs in some form!!... (u know who u are :P)

Enjoy.

KEEP A LOOK OUT.​
