[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPadie:
I have the "Use wireless networks" feature on to detect my location, but I have kept the "Enable GPS sattelites" option off for now, because it wastes battery and takes too long to aquire locations.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
Are you sure? I have mine on all the time. It is only actually used when a programme asks for it. Battery usage is OK with me, considering it is a feature full smartphone (so it is never going to be as good as a dumb phone).

And mine locks onto locations very quickly - ussually a few seconds. MUCH quicker than my old WM Touch Diamond

As per the title...

I'm currently snowboarding in Canada and when I get an SMS I need to stop, take off my gloves, and delve into my pockets to dig out my phone. I have MSVC set to go by holding the button on my headset which works well for calls and media control.

Ideally I'd like to say 'read new message' and it would read it through my headset to me, without me having to stop! Is there a command for this?
[General Questions and Answers] vineshdark:
Hi, Ive got this problem with my htc where after a full charge the information on the battery is correctly display

Since last full charge, etc... it gives some more information,

but after 11-12hours the information says its not applicable.

I was just wondering is that something that can be fixed ? or its just a problem with the phone itself ?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] georg.madler:
Have you tried taking out the battery for an hour or so?

If nothing else works try a hard reset:

i used a software on my older devices x9500 and x7510 it would allow me to write arabic a read arabic but when i installed it on hd2 the arabic letters dont join and it starts from the left i assume if the txt auto starts from write it would join up the letters .in my older devices the curser would change to left when typing english and start from right when starting arabic automatically .

is there away for the device to align cursor according to the language type.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rednose30:
To all devs out there ,im been trying to root the hero for a week now ,ive tried every guide going also the gold card with 10 different sd cards with no luck.the rom what ive got is the release 2.73.405.66 rom.it has the new nboot is thats why i cant flash.is there any way i can wipe all date and software so i will have nothing on the phone and then install an earlier rom, its just an idea as im starting to lose it with this fone.i hope someone can help me or do i have to wait for the official update from htc
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
with this rom version you need to create a goldcard and downgrade your rom before you can install a custom rom. if you have problems with the goldcard you should be more specific.

waiting for the update doesn't seem like the best idea, because it might take some until a security flaw is found that allows to root the rom when already installed on the phone. if you have the custom recovery image you will be able to install the (pre-rooted) update short time after it was released.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sinnadyr:
You should be able to use fastboot for this issue.

Search around the forums, (also http://hero.modaco.com) and read about it.

All you need is the fasboot tool, a usb cable and the "debugging mode" switched on at ur phone...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rednose30:
everytime i create the gold card and try to downgrade the rom it states boot error 140.i follow the guides very indepth i get the serial number from the sdcard than i reverse the string and then replace the first two numbers or letters with 2 zeros how can you tell when the goldcard is on the sdcard.when i replace the sdcard back in sdcard reader it states that the folder is empty.im quite clued up on winmo but android is giving me a headache
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
wouldn't the fastboot give you the "remote: not allowed" error?

anyway, you can try:

start your phone by holding back and pushing power, you should see three skating androids. put recovery image in the folder where your fastboot.exe is, open terminal and go to that folder and type:

fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img

if that works report back.

for the goldcard i can't help, never did it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rednose30:
at last im rooted thanks for for the help .the way i did

(with the phone in normal mode)

1) Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...

2) Open Command Prompt ->

Put in the following text ->

C:\Users\Username> cd\

C:\>cd android\tools\

C:\>android\tools>adb push recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img

C:\>android\tools>adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img

3) JOB DONE!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mjames_84:
I guys, I seem to be having the same issue as the OP. Having tried the above it tells me that there is an error writing recovery: Permission denied. Any idea how to solve this?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] TastyBurger:
Getting exactly the same. Tried the goldcard method numerous times using 3 different cards and always get the bootloader 140 error. Tried the above with same errors... very frustrating!

Mine is a UK T-Mobile G2 with build number 2.73.110.26, any suggestions gratefully tried!

Edit: Finally managed to sort it. I was using "RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.1_R3_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe" - this didnt work. Once I found and tried RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe it all clicked into place!

Thanks for all the info provided on these forums, cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B4Me:
Hi

I have tried making a goldcard, and installed via. the RUU shown here.. 405.5 .. but then I tried using Flashrec to get another recovery image, it failed making the first step...

So is my phone rooted or did something go wrong ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sinnadyr:
the phone is still unfortunately not rooted. I would've tried the fastboot method

[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicknyhk:
just curious but did anyone just try to flash the older version without bothering with the goldcard...i dun know what i did to my htc hero orange but when i was researching i was told i needed to downgrade to root. I tried to take a long shot and used htc sync and old orange ruu..and somehow it just downgraded itself.... i know it might not help but its a long shot!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
Very similar story. I did make a goldcard but hadn't got as far as finding out how to extract the update.zip out of the RUU exe, in order to use it. I tried running the RUU to see what would happen & my Hero downgraded.

Does anyone know if the block / letter recognizer is available under Windows 6.5.3 or 6.5.5.

I use my phone to take notes at meetings and block recognizer is much quicker than using the keyboard.

Thanks in advance
[General Topics] Farmer Ted:
The transcriber is available, but it may not be in your rom.
[General Topics] MartynHibbert:
Do you know of any ROMs that do contain the transcriber?

Remember this linx reference is an old thread; it may not work(!)

I did a search and came up with;

I have the HTC Touch2 as you can see, the screen's quite small, and i'd wana know if it's possible to turn the screen sideways . I saw a few apps but it wasnt under Touch2 Sub-forum. So i didn't want to trust it as my touch2 is just two weeks new and i really care deeply for the phone as its my first ever phone and its touchscreen, so i don't want to mess it up with too many applications that does not work and slow down my phone. Thanks in advance

[HTC Excalibur] likesjava:
Hi People,

If you go here: Google "javafx for windows mobile download" you can DL the JavaFX update from SUN, which I did. It installed fine. (Sorry, my account is apparently too new to post the link).

It also comes with a few demo apps to try. But when I try to run it, I get an error:

"Calculated only a partial product UUID!This can cause problems with the correct device identification."

I called T-mobile and explained this, and that I had just updated the Dash to the latest T=Mobile/Windows CE OS version 5.2.1236, build 17741.0.2.1.

Of course they said they can't support any 2rd party apps. They also questioned whether the Dash was "too old" to run JavaFX. I have a hard time believing that last part. It runs plain old Java just fine.

I am hoping someone could try the DL I mention above and post the results, with the goal of getting JavaFX working on my/other peoples Dash.

As a footnote,I found this error posted a few other places with no answer.
[HTC Excalibur] youngdaddytc:
i just downloaded it and it does work. my thoughts are that you probably need to upgrade your rom. your version 5.2.1236 is a bit dated and my guess is that's why it's not working for you. currently im running 3vo 6.5 and it's working just fine, overclocked to 274. try updating your OS/rom first, it should work after that.

btw there are plenty of forums around here that give good tutorials on updating your OS/rom if you've never done it before. study and up and take the plunge! :-)
[HTC Excalibur] youngdaddytc:
one more thing, tmobile isn't very tech savvy when it comes to this sort of thing. they have much info at their fingertips but they have to search to find it and most of them aren't that good at it. they are trained on newer phones but not the older ones. trust me i'd know, i used to work at a tech center. they have a decent database with logs on problems customers have had in the past and solutions, but the rep on the phone isn't always able to find the info. i was one of the better ones but they didnt want to move me to permanent tech even though that's what i was good at, and instead shuffled me to cust service to argue with people about their bills... so i quit :p

anyway, it's best to come here first and ask rather than ask them. we'll probably save you some time :D
[HTC Excalibur] likesjava:
Thank you Young!

I took the plunge and downloaded and flashed EXCA-3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.3.00.112509. Along the way I applied the app unlock as instructed. I wonder - would the app unlock alone have been enough?

Well, in any case JavaFX is up and running! Yay! - thanks to you :)

I had no idea that there were people writing all sorts of new OS etc for these phones - I'm just a phone user.

Now - silly question but - none of these new ROMS allow free wifi or Internet access do they?
[HTC Excalibur] TMinh:
hey, what is JavaFx ??? Does it like JBed Java ?
[HTC Excalibur] likesjava:
It runs on any device that can run Java. Think of it as a prettier, fancier, high tech looking java. Its actually pretty fun to program as well. And its free (the development environment).

Here are some Google results for your question:

JavaFX is a software platform for creating and delivering rich Internet applications that can run across a wide variety of connected devices. ..

What is JavaFX?

JavaFX is a rich client platform for building cross-device applications and content. Designed to enable easy creation and deployment of rich internet applications (RIAs) with immersive media and content, the JavaFX platform ensures that RIAs look and behave consistently across diverse form factors and devices.

The JavaFX platform release includes the following components:

* JavaFX SDK which includes the JavaFX compiler and runtime tools, graphics, media, web services, and rich text libraries to create RIAs for the desktop, browser and mobile platforms.

* NetBeans IDE for JavaFX which provides a sophisticated integrated development environment for building, previewing, and debugging JavaFX applications. The editor features a drag-and-drop palette to quickly add JavaFX objects with transformations, effects and animation. This IDE also comes with its own set of Building Block samples and the JavaFX Mobile Emulator, a mobile phone simulator.

* JavaFX Production Suite is a suite of tools and plugins that enable designers to export graphical assets to JavaFX applications.
[HTC Excalibur] youngdaddytc:
np, glad to be of help. it woulda been nice if my email program let me know i had a reply earlier though :-p

anyway, about the free wifi and internet... no programs can do that, that i know of. there are ways to hack into other peeps networks for free bandwidth from pc's (as i've seen it done), but if you want free internet on the phone there's only a few simple options...

1. pay for it, either through a phone carrier ex: tmobile, at&t, etc. or get a router for your home network and at least then you can connect to your home wifi.

2. find a starbucks, local coffee house, hospital, or any place that is pumpin out free wifi and hop on the network.

anyway, even if there were those types of 'programs' you couldn't post about it here cuz it would get taken off immediately and the person posted would probably get banned. they're not too friendly about that stuff :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Humpeligimp:
Hello all.

I have a TD2 with The original HTC WM 6.5 ROM.

I love it, but one thing annoys me:

The world clock that pops up when pressing the watch.

It gets in the way everytime the phone ring, and i grab for it in my pocket.

I have googled it, and searched this forum, and all i have been able to find was a cooked ROM that has it disabled, but also had othér changes i don't want.

Is there a kind soul inhere hwo knows a simpler way to disable this "world Clock" feature? (and is willing to share the secret with me :o )

Thank you in advance Humpeligimp
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
What World Clock?

I'm assuming you mean when you tap on the clock on the home screen, unless you installed something - SPB Time, or something else with a screensaver - which gives you a world clock?

I hate to suggest the obvious, but if you don't put the lock on when the phone is in your pocket there is potential for bigger problems than the Clock settings to be displayed - a feature, rather than a bug.

My suggestion would be to engage lock before pocketing phone - last time I forgot I made a long silent call, so I soon learned!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Humpeligimp:
Yes that world clock.

I am sorry if it could be misunderstood.

The ringing phone in the pocket was just an example. (Of course i lock my screen)

What i realy ment was can it be disabled ?

To stop it from stealing focus when i accidentially taps the time.

I find it annoying, and i have no need know the time in some other country,

just from the front of my phone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mitsi:
I like to link my clock so that when i press it, it launches second today. I do this using ssmaho 0.0.4.0. I suppose you could link it to take you to the home screen (ie. do nothing)!

Thank you. I'll check ssmaho and see.
