1 - i had trouble with the latest swype (the pale grey one? silvery coloured?) i went back to the dark one, it was unuseable (cant seem to find out how to bring up its version number, , the cab just says swype.cab, , , heh. So i'd say try get an earlier version, Mine works lovely.

2 - move the opera cache to the sd card, and clean it now n again. I have a lot of that kind of trouble with podcasts from bbc, 15 meg or so, , seems to help with the cache on sd.

3 - dont really know about the network details. sorry.

4 - i DO know that if you live on teh edge of the decent signal area, your phone jumping between 3g/hsdpa and edge/gprs will eat your battery. find comm manager and switch off the 3g button (if you have one) when you dont need fast access, can vastly improve battery, and email and other syncs dont need 3g most of teh time, only browsing.

5 - thats probably outlook adding the default "the day before" reminder, (or maybe the htc one works the same as the outlook one) either way, you have to manuall edit the appointment to set the reminder to no reminder.

6 - it will download if you linger on the weather tab for a second or so when swiping. Gives the impression that it is always updating.

Hope some of them at least help!

[HD2 General] cgrec92:
thanks for the fast reply, not the first time too :)

1) ok ill uninstall swype and install the older one, hope this gets fixed as i prefer this layout

2) thanks - i have moved the opera cache to the sd card

3) my operator is tmobile uk, HSDPA is supported and so is 3g, i have unlimited data plan, the connection will drop after a couple mins, normally less, if HSDPA is disabled, the connection is slower but more stable, but in the end, the connection will drop

4) ive disabled HSDPA because atm its unusable, i do indeed have that 3g button and is always off, my connection is always on G, still 20% battery loss after 15 mins surfing

5) i mentioned that i set it to no reminder, what do you mean?

6) that makes sense - thanks

if you have any ideas how to solve number 3 id really appreciate it
[HD2 General] johnerz:
I had the same issue with Virgin UK (uses Tmobile as you are aware) I flashed to 1.66 rom and my problems went away - battery life as much better also, hope it helps :)
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
thanks for your reply

i have also flashed to official 1.66 rom, the problem didnt change at all

i even tried different radios with this rom

any other ideas?

thanks
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
backup before you do the swype change, if you use a lock password, i believe some version of swype can affect that? (i dont use one so i wouldn't know, there are threads on it)

about outlook and the reminder thing, i'm not really sure of the details, but i've been syncing the same set of contacts and calendar with outlook for probably 6 or 7 years, and several times ive come across a situation where you set up an app, or event or something, and set no reminder, and it goes off at midnight the day before - the setting is actually 'one day' and the day starts at midnight, d'oh.

How it comes to be that it doesn't get saved i haven't pinned down, but it generally seems to be after a hard reset/complete wipe and resync. It often (not always) also creates duplicate birthday reminders.

This has happened to me from office 2000 right through to 2k7, and on different phone OS's, and different sync programs but it doesnt happen all the time.

(bit non specific, sorry)
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
it sounds to me like an outlook related problem, but i dont use outlook at all to sync anything to my phone

i still dont have a clue why i cant double click to zoom on certain websites, bbc is the one i look at the most its very annoying
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Yea i hate the no double click on bbc site . Must be something about how its constructed i guess. , , cuts coming next year, it'l fall appart....
[HD2 General] pa49:
Your battery should not behave like this and you should stop draining and charging the battery because you will ruin it and I suspect that you may have already done damage.

The batteries need a good few weeks of use to reach their max usable capacity and to achieve this charge it as often as you can for as long as you can. Nothing more, nothing less. No draining, cycling, conditioning of any sort. Just use it and keep it on charge.

I have mine on charge always at home and in the car and I have never got below 40% during the day and I'm a heavy user of the internet.

I have two backup power packs and have needed them only once when I was away for two days and couldn't easily charge.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
thanks for your reply, i will do this for the battery, ill report back if it helps

thanks
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
anyone have a clue?

thanks in advance
[HD2 General] DORMIU:
I experience the same problem (frequent loss of internet connection). I then shut down data connection and immediately re-enable it to turn it back on. This works, but it's annoying and a definite let-down for any smartphone, especially our powerful HD2.

I can't believe nobody has a solution for this. Apparently not even HTC does.

Anyone???

:(
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
im glad im not alone, there are many many people with the same issues, whoever finds a fix is a saint!
[HD2 General] A|ex:
My battery seems fine since i dropped a radio version and can now lost 3+ days with a lot of use and everything downloading automatic.

there are only two things that annoy me, slow/ lag when texting on the keypad and finally the random ghost typing
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
could you mention what operator youre using and where youre located?

perhaps your radio would be suitable for mine too
[HD2 General] scotia_rfc:
Make sure your birthday reminders are set to "none" and not "0 minutes".

I had this problem with birthdays also. They seemed to revert back to 0 mins when i flashed my phone and re-synced my contacts wo had to go through them and set from 0 min to none. Pain in the neck but better than being woken up at midnight!
[HD2 General] DORMIU:
I contacted the HTC customer service via their website and this is the reply I got from them:

This could be a driver conflict and we recommend to try a hard reset on it make sure that you back up all your data before the reset. If the problem still going on after this then contact us in this line +44 8458900079 and we will send your device to be repaired.

Does this make any sense? It almost seems to good to be true. My phone is fresh out of the box, been using it for about two weeks now with a standard 1.66 ROM. The data disconnect problem has been there since day one. I kinda feel like they recommend a hard reset no matter what the problem is :)

Anyway, I've read about other people having the same problem as cgrec92 and I but... is this an universal problem or are there lost of users out there who have no data connection problem?
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
that's really useful information thanks for posting that ill definitely keep in mind that i can send it off to get repaired, although keep in mind most people who have done this say nothing changes, from all I've read, tmobile customers are the most affected, i have done hard resets before but they em nothing, I'm going to try mtty to completely format the phone, maybe its something left over from the tmobile stock rom? anyways ill try that and report back
[HD2 General] DORMIU:
By the way: I'm on 3 network in Denmark.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
i have used mtty and flashed artemis 5.0 with radio 2.06 as the rom recommends

have had some connection dropouts still although less common

what i have found though is that in connection setup, right click and click on update database, equip the new settings

not minimizing opera seems to keep the internet from dropping out too
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdrewh:
I want to thank everyone in the community. Awesome work everyone. I am a long time Android fan. I started with a G1, MT3G, Cliq, moment, and now my hero. I thing that I am among the only one when I had and rooted the cliq but I liked the interface. I guess my question is one, would anyone else want a cliq rom? Two, is it possible to take Motoblur from a GSM rom and port it to CDMA? Third, Would there be any volunteers to try if the other two questions are yes?

I do not have linux and it has been a while since I have used it. I am more then willing to help in anyway I can if this starts to become a reality.

Thanks again to all the DEV's you guys are what makes Android, Android.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredmug:
I'd love to try it out if anyone could manage this. Sounds like it would be quite an undertaking.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
I'm working on this now. It boots, but blur and pretty much everything else force closes. Once I get a stable booting ROM without force closes I'll post it up. I'm real busy right now, but I will be able to work on it in the next few days, so hopefully I can get something goin. This doesn't mean no one else should try, by all means do, incase something happens with mine :eek:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdrewh:
You sir are awesome. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeroMeng:
Run the logcat for us, or PM me a download link. I'd like to help debug in any way I can.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Leukay, send me what you have. I have some time this weekend free. I want to take a look at what you have...of course that is if you don't mind.

Kcarpenter 5407 AT gmail
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Thanks for the offers guys, I appreciate it. I'm very much a noob at this whole cookin' thing, but I'm working hard. I'll post up a logcat and give you guys a download link that wanna help out. It won't be for a couple of more days though :( (dealing with some problems with my hard drive :rolleyes:) but I will get them to you guys as soon as possible. Thanks again!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdrewh:
Anything new with this?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Just an FYI I've got a system bump of the backFlip - yeah I know stupid base. But it was easier to find than the Cliq dump. I am purely interested to see if I can even do it. Once I get something bootable I will post it....assuming I actually get something bootable.

The server that I am downloading from IS SOOOOO SLOW - 22 k on a 66 mb file....CRAP!!!!!!:eek: My battery may go dead before its done!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looneylu:
i'd love to try a blur rom... willing to donate to the cause... I'd also like to learn how to do some of this stuff... how would i get started?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mergethereat:
^^^^^ same here. Im gonna search the thread and google but thought that I would ask here as well, but how can a noob with zero experience with this stuff learn to do this stuff. I want to make apps for android and other platforms.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Don't use that donate word out loud people will **** their pants around here if they find out I took money to dev a rom :eek: NTM I am just doing this for fun, I hope I don't end up with a brick by the end of the night.

Read, Read, Read...if you want to develop, its not difficult if you have programming background. If not, ehhh good luck writing a program. Given Java is pretty easy to learn, just not a language I would want to start with. If you are absolutely new to programming go get a c++ book, then work out to other languages.

If any one cares I get to a boot screen - But I am missing copybit.heroc.so and am getting a JavaSetAlarmRequest error in logcat any Ideas? I can probably fix the copybit thing with putting the file in place, the java alarm baffles me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mergethereat:
Thanks for the info. I am 100% new to programing so we'll see what happens lol.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdrewh:
I would love to help in any way I can. I am not a dev by no means but I can try to help any way you need me to.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Hey guys, to those who are currently working on this. I am going to pass along some advice that Toast gave to me when I started working on this. Take the rom you want to port, open up the boot.img, and drop our kernel into the boot.img. Rebuild the boot.img, and resign the rom, and it might be bootable (hopefully anyways). That would give you a start, then you can go through and work out the bugs
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Man, I would LOVE for it to be this simple! Lol but I can't find a boot.img for cliq or backflop any where! I am working with a bare Rom and trying to throw in bits and pieces of moto frameworks and jars and apks. Made progress to a homescreen but its unusable with fcs.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] centran:
wouldn't you be running into a problem with the any system apks from blur that have optimized dex? The classes.dex is removed from the apk so how can you generate a dex to run on the hero?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Yeah lol, I agree, that's where I was getting, home screen, everything FC's. Ugh. I've had to abandon working on it due to school and other useless stuff like that....lol. But good luck man. There is a G1 Blur port rom called S_Blur. Download that, and try to work with that. It comes with a boot.img, so rip it (and ours) open, drop the kernel in, and see what happens
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looneylu:
just thought of something... would we be able to sign in to the motoblue account? you have to have motoblur and gmail for this....:confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Ok so. I have been trying forever to get our kernel into the Blur boot.img.

I can unpack it, but I can't repack it. It keeps telling me that my ramdisk file doesn't exist! I CAN SEE IT ITS RIGHT THERE! I am running from a liveCD so that may be the issue.

Could someone please take the boot.img-kernel from the files attached and drop it into the BlurBoot.img for me?

I have posted our boot.img and the Blur boot.img in the attached ZIP.

On a side note, there is a pretty easy to follow tutorial on doing this

Here for those of you who don't have any clue what is being talked about and want to learn.

Anytime I try to do anything CPIO from this live CD (Ubuntu 9.1) it freaks out on me. Soooo maybe time to do an actual install and get this stuff setup like it needs to be.
[G1 General] Zach77:
Ive always been curious as to if I should root or not root my HTC dream(rogers) is it still possible to do this with the mandatory software upgrade that rogers required for the internet to work? And, if anyone could give me reasons why I should, itd be great

thanks :)
[G1 General] nolimit78:
I think a smaller list would be to list why you shouldn't

The List of reason's why not to root your phone:

....

The G1 was created to root. It unleashes the potential of the phone. Apps2SD, Sense UI, 2.1, Total Control, Themes, just to name some. Seriously Root that Bia.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HellStorm666:
Hi,

I would love to see a way/program that maxes out the volume when the HD2 gets connected to a bluetooth carkit and switches back to normal when connection is lost/disconnected.

I now often have the problem that the sound on my HD2 is very low when I get an incoming call on the carkit so that I have to get the phone out of my pocket to turn op the volume (other ways the car radio needs to go on 80% (normal 35%/40% with phone sound on max) or more, not nice with 250+ Watt RMS on it when the call stops and the music starts again)

plz. help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madhartigan:
. . . with understanding development using Java for Android?

Do I start with Java books?

Where do I read about how to set up an Android development environment? I'm trying to read through everything at the Android Developers website, but I was hoping someone could point me towards better/more information.

I know this is a VERY n00b question, but in order to avoid asking any further n00b questions, I'd like to come to this party better equipped.

TIA -

Darryl
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ady:
You HAVE to be good at java before you can start programming for android. C/C++ too if you intend to develop something performance hungry.

I suggest that you look at an introduction to developing in Java on desktop and familiarize yourself with Java syntax. If you haven't programmed anything before then also familiarize yourself with programming techniques and object oriented programming in java.

To be honest, it takes 4 years on college to learn that. You may be able to learn it earlier, given that you put enough effort but don't expect programming anything useful anytime soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madhartigan:
Thank you!! At least I have a starting point. Never too late to begin.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] madhartigan:
Gonna see if starting with Introduction to Java Programming, Comprehensive Edition is something that works for me.

Thanks again!!

sorry for double post
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Iceman_B:
Ive managed to set up Eclipse 3.5 and the Android SDK.

Then I downloaded the components to develop for Android 1.5, 1.5, and 2.x(.x)

Also installed the USB driver(on an WinXP machine) and that's all there is to it, I think.

As for Java, I have an old book(or bible, judging by the size) on Java 1.5 from Deitel.

But right now, Im just looking at the official trails on sun.com:

http ://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/index.html

I guess learning the syntax is one thing.

Learning programming concepts and OO are two other things.

Then there are algorithms and programming techniques.

Then there is familiarization with how the Android platform differs from regular Java applications/applets/etc.

I think that covers the basic steps towards Android programming in java.

If I missed anything, can someone fill me in please?

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pyrator:
maybe someone knows of a open source repos. you can look at examples. Like planet-source-code dot com but with android examples.
[General Topics] hendrixus:
Like Monocube's.

It's still avalable. But it isn't free.

Maybe a developer can make this too.

http://www.monocube.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=56

It is intergrated into the softreset

I haven't got anything commercial to do with this app nor with the programmer. I know many need it too.

This app doesn't work on WM6.5
[General Topics] rumpleforeskin:
i previously used a safemode tool by airscanner but it no longer works with WM6 and above, not really sure if they have ever updated the software but it was quite good back on WM5.

Thankfully i have not had any software problems so bad that i could not boot my device in the last few years
[General Topics] copenhagen:
yeah... i just tried the newest ver of monocube safemode on my hd2 (mar 2010)... not good.

hard reset to fix .... :(

take a look at the discussion on android-developers google group.

sorry but i can't post outsite links because i am a new user!

Android Market Seeding

They gave around 5000 G1 phones to developers last year so it could be true!

we will know soon if it is true or not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jcohenlv:
Google has already confirmed this is legit!

I hope I get a nexus !!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Mort:
:eek:

Nice surprise. I've been afraid it's a fake as well. And as member of the EU I'll get a Nexus. Cool, a 2nd Milestone wouldn't have helped that much...

Thanks to all those who pushed my player way over the required limit (so far over 23000 downloads and 4.37 stars) and to Google (someone "bribing" me can't be evil, right ;) ).

I wonder how many devices will be given. AFAIK there are about 20,000 to 30,000 apps in market (are there any up to date numbers?), but some from the same developer and some 1-2 star crap, so my guess would be between 5,000 and 10,000. Anybody has a database to look up better details?

btw: Could somebody move this thread to one of the non-device dependant forums? If at all, it should be in N1 or Droid development forums... ;)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Sven Woltmann:
Yes, AndroidPIT has a database to look up exactly what you asked for:

This is the form:

www - dot - androidpit - dot - com/en/android/market/apps/selection/form

(Sorry - having just signed up for this forum, I am not allowed to post a real URL here)

Unfortunately, you can only select "from 3 stars" or "from 4 stars". Here are the results:

3+ stars and 5.000+ downloads: 4,108 apps

4+ stars and 5.000+ downloads: 2,350 apps

Taking the average, approximately 3,229 apps should qualify for the device seeding program.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] trygveaa:
There exists 31673 programs in Market. 17.6 % of these have over 5000 downloads, that's 5574 programs. 60.1 % of all the programs have a rating over 4, and 12.8 % have a rating of 3. The programs that have many downloads probably have a bit better rating than the rest. Let's say that about 70 % of the programs have a rating over 3.5, so that's 3900 programs. In addition, many developers have more than one program, so I guess there's about 1000-3000 developers that qualify to this.

Nexus One costs $174.15 in parts, so that means that google is handing out mobiles worth between $174 150 and $522 450. In Android Developer Challenge 2 they handed out prizes with a total value of $2 000 000.

Stats to program downloads, stats to program ratings, source for price of Nexus One in parts.
