At long last, I (or rather we - I had help from a friend) managed to get access to the Android market of US.

BUT we didn't even need the Market Enabler for that. By googling for "Vending.apk" (the name of the market app) I found the first link to be of help. I can't paste it here cause I'm new to this forum, but it was the blog of someone called Kumar Bibek.

The way it was described on that blog didn't completely work, but after following the comments we finally had success.

Thanks for your help.
[Click Themes and Apps] kroman1985:
Sounds good that you were able to get access to US market!

I have been trying to find the link (blog) you are talking about, with no luck. Can you describe it a little better where i can find the blog;)

Kroman
[Click Themes and Apps] Levythan:
If you google for "Android market on emulator" you should find some link to tech-droid whatever.

I'll try to pass you the link via PM, maybe that'll work.
[Click Themes and Apps] rwmanos:
can you explain the way u enabled usa market here cause i can't ?

thanx :)
[Click Themes and Apps] Levythan:
Have you already visited the blog I mentioned in my post? In the comments there is some guy who has successfully created an AVD that can easily connect to the US-Market. Just download his AVD from the link he posted there and adjust the path in the .ini-file to the one you store the data at.

Edit 1:

Let's see if I have the permission to post the link by now:

Edit 2:

Fine, it works! :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] StokyMaster:
Hi, Ive been dealing with a problem

I flashed new ROM, a clean one (w/o manila, titanium etc., Im using SPB MS), but there is kind of no ActiveSync. When I connect my device to PC (USB) there are 3 options (ActiveSync, Mass storrage, Internet sharing) but when I want to setup Google Sync, I need some ActiveSync app which I simply dont have (Ive tried even search in files for word "sync" and results were just few e-mails and PIMbackup).

Can U pls help me, e.g. link for downloading *.cab? When I search on google, there is only app for PC not PPC. Thanks a lot

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsj5j:
This is a quick newbie question that I hope someone can clarify.

Basically, I've noticed that the Hero (and probably other android devices) has a recovery mode like the iPod/iPhone. To my knowledge, it is technically impossible to brick an iPhone because the recovery mode always exists should a bad firmware be flashed.

So, the question:

a.) Can you brick the Hero by flashing ROMs? For example, there's a new Eris 2.1 leak. If the flash fails, can I just flash something else through the recovery mode?

b.) Can a ROM update (from Google) undo the root & recovery boot flash that I did?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Answer to A is technically yes, unless to rom you flash does something to that recovery image.

Answer to B is yes again, flashing official ROM's changes your recovery image, rom image and radio image.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
a) it's not impossible, but it is quite difficult to completely ruin your phone. A bad flash can usually fixed by entering recovery and re-flashing a different ROM

b) official updates do contain boot-loaders so it will undo custom boot-loaders and root access, and will likely block the route you took to get it in the first place.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsj5j:
Thanks for the informative replies :)

Another two questions:

a.) Flashing seems to wipe all my contacts, SMSes, etc. Any way to back these up (easily)?

b.) As a followup, I can't use the 2.1 stock rom for Hero when it appears? Will someone be able to crack it?

c.) Radios are often mentioned; I assume they control the handset's calls/smses? What is the benefit of updating it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
1) Search the market for "backup" there are loads of options

2) Someone will release a pre-rooted version very quick after the official one is out (maybe even before it is out)

3) Better signal, battery life on the phone, wifi and bluetooth.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lukasss:
Hi guys,

I had an idea for an app yesterday... I haven't had time to do a search, so maybe it already exists. If it does, please let me know.

The concept of this app is to have location-aware wifi. The app would connect to GPS at preconfigured intervals to check the location. If the location matches a preconfigured place (like home, work, starbucks, whatever), the app would turn on wifi and turn off the data connection.

During WiFi operation the GPS checks should cease. When you get out of wifi range and your cellphone shuts off wifi automatically (is already possible in WinMo), the scheduled GPS checks should resume.

The GPS checks need to happen on schedule similar to the schedule found in ActiveSync, also with peak times. So if you're at home at night the app knows it's not necessary to check location during that time.

The app could also have a function to store a new location as wifi-enabled place. So if you are visting an office or a new restaurant that has wifi, you could add it with just a few clicks.

What do you guys think? Any devs? Is that doable? Already done?

Regards,

Lukas
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CentralBK:
+1 This sound s very interesting and would make WiFi use much easier :D

Thanks for this idea, hopefully someone can develop it :confused:

Regards,

Central
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lukasss:
Thnx, I hope a dev will share your opinion... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] webpatrick:
There are apps that are 'cell' aware, so it know where you are, based on the information of the your providers cell tower. So when you are at home, you can use that cell id to identify you are in your home region. So you don't even have to have GPS enabled (and assuming your phone is allways on).

One of the toos I have some experience in is Ageye.de 's G-Profile. With this tool you can also disable Wifi during time intervals (like over night).

Its commercial wiht trail version. Check it out.

Edit: Just found another tool using Cell ID, it's called Wifilocations and it's free.

Btw. I'm very interested in how WinMo disables Wifi automatically when you are out of your Wifi's range, as you describe above.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Lukasss:
That's simple:

Start -> Settings -> Menu (right softkey) -> All Settings -> Connections -> WiFi -> Wireless Networks -> Menu (right softkey) -> Advanced

"Turn Off Wifi if not connected in x minutes"

I can't take screenshots at this time. You just need to open Wifi in Connections in windows mobile settings menu.

Let me know if you can't find it.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vss1980:
Hi guys,

Apologies if this has been asked and answered before (I have searched the forums but not found the answer).

The proper HTC Touch Diamond and T-Mobile MDA version have a different set-up with regards to the hardware key usage (which can be seen in the attached pictures.

As you hopefully can see, the call/home and end-call/return buttons are swapped around.

If I change the ROM on a T-mobile MDA to a non T-mobile ROM, do the buttons keep their function assignment or do the functions swap around to the same as they would on a normal HTC device?

Looking at the ROM update pages on this site, the answer to this isn't really obvious?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mx5_white:
Answer is yes, the layout of the keys will be unchanged with other ROMs. I've used Hard SPL 1.37 Olinex and flashed different ROMS and is works perfectly.
[HD2 General] Danno320:
Hi guys, this is my first post - very exciting.

I've had the HD2 for 3 weeks now and I love it. The only issue I have is with it dropping calls. I don't think it handles the handover from cell to cell very well but that's not my main issue as it happened from time to time on other phones too. My main query is with the clever accelerometer related functions. According to the manual, during a call if you put it face down it activates the speaker. Mine just ends the call. I think that it is getting confused during calls if I move and cutting me off. Done two hard resets but no joy. Does anyone know how to disable the function either through settings or registry?

I've looked around for quite a while on the forum and can't find what I'm looking for. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Dan

PS It has stock O2 ROM, BSB tweaks, etc
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
In terms of dropping calls, it is usually due to the handover sequence between cellsites, rather than the handset itself.

I'm guessing you are on O2? If so, PM me your location and I'll get my "inside contact" to take a look at any outstanding issues there.

I must admit, I've not used that accelerometer feature yet, but I have turned it on. (Under Settings -> Sound & Display -> Ring and Notifications)
[HD2 General] imcn:
Erm.. This might sound like a dumb post but I was having problems with call disconnection whilst in the middle of calls. I discovered the problem - I'm LEFT HANDED!

When I used the device I held it in my right hand and type/operate with my left. When I held the phone to my right ear to have a conversation I was occasionaly touching my cheek with the call-end button and that's how I was getting repeated disconnections - true story.

I am now a practicing ambidextarian...:eek:
[HD2 General] Danno320:
Thanks for getting back so quickly guys

a practicing ambidextarian eh............ I wish I could breathe underwater! (sorry I couldn't resist it)

I don't think I'm cutting off the call through contact with the screen all the time though but yes I have done it more than once!

Thanks for the info rp-x1. I'm in Settings -> Sound & Display -> Ring and Notifications and the only thing that looks relevant is the 'Quiet ring on pickup' option and I'm not sure it's related. For instance, I got a call early yesterday morning and answered the call in bed. When the wife elbowed me and I turned on my side the phone assumed I was putting it face down and ended the call. I'm looking to disable this function.
[HD2 General] OriginalDon:
Dropping Phone calls even in locked screen state

I am also dropping a alot of calls :confused: . Not sure if it is related to face down as the phone is always upright after answring a call. May be the call end button.

Having said that the phone was locked when I received a call today. I moved the slider to answer said "hello", then after 3 seconds it disconnected.

Any ideas?

Thanks

edit: Seems like a proxomity sensor issue, judging by other threads. Will continue to search for a fix/workaround.

htc hd2 dropping calls

Hi everyone,

I have a htc hd2 since 1/2011, love the phone BUT i HATE the dropping calls problem!! Please help. also will upgrade to windows 7 help with this problem. :o
[HD2 General] cinaeco:
I hardly use the phone to make calls, so I'm not sure if the calls dropping in the past is any relation, but as stated by Danno320, according to the manual ( i went back looking for this :D), turning the phone face-down will activate speakerphone.

This is so exciting... so I tried it a few times.

All it did was to disconnect the calls. :(

I wonder if the action really does turn the speakerphone on.

Anyone who's tried and succeeded?

I also want to know if there's a solution to this now that I know my phone isn't functioning like what the manual said it should be...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MaXo64:
I'm not responsible if you bricked your phone !!

Do a Nandroid backup first !!

​

Goal:

This ROM is aiming to mimic HTC's generic 2.1 update. I'll not add Vanilla stuff (like Gallery3D, LiveWallpapers, .., etc).

And if you want me to fix a bug, please send me the "adb logcat" output..

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vido.ardes:
It's not wrong, it's just a side effect of it being a US ROM. They only use 11 channels for Wi-Fi, where as everywhere else has 13, it's probably cause your wi-fi networks are on channel 12 or 13
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] opusheks:
You can't connect to networks that distributes on channel 12 or 13 due to US restrictions I think.
