[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
I agree. I'd rather have the power button turn the backlight off than the end button. That's the most important. They should make an option or something where people can choose their preference.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
i was coming to look for this. i dont mind having to end calls with the power button right now. ill be using standby and home more so id rather those be more natural.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
WHAAA??? :)

You guys like ending a phone call using the power button??? Since when has that EVER been natural? (Other than on an Android device, where the power and the end call are the same button...) Ive had 5-6 HTC devices, don't think I ever recall thinking, "we should be using the power button to end a call.". On some HTC devices the power button isn't even very easy to access. Changing end call to the power button would be a disaster.

LOL
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
for you. obviously we want it though. i would like the end call button to be on the end call button but i want sleep on the top and home key down below more.

having it end call when youre on a call and a home key button the rest of the time would be more ideal. i kinda wish this was the hd2 because the buttons on that would be make sense in android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] j.action:
Can't stop the revolution! :p

Back in WinMo whenever I end a call I hit the big red button on the screen, then hit the power button to put it to sleep so I can put it in my pocket. Needless to say, being able to just double-tap the power button to accomplish the same thing would be great. The front buttons on the TP2 are so dainty it's annoying to press them honestly.

It's such a trivial thing, but I guess everyone's got their own reasons for wanting it. :) It would be nice to know how to swap the button assignments for myself even if it's not baked into the Rhodium builds directly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
I hit the 'power button' to turn off the screen more often than I hit the end button to 'end calls'. I rarely call. I'm a texter. Power button doing what it should > end button doing what it should.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
thats my thoughts exactly. i think even people who make calls turn the phone on and off using the power button more than the end key. i understand how one would like it the way it is, which is why a solution to change it for us would be nice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ajay_zalavadia:
I agree

I agree with you, whenever I try to press the EndCall button, I always fear of dropping the phone from my hand, Or if you hold the phone in your palm; you have twist your thumb all the way down, seems awkward.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mahagon Coral:
I have a question ... wouldn't it be possible to reassign certain actions and not the default button functions to the hardware keys ?

On windows mobile, this seems to be possible with the rhodium keyboard controller ... it uses a modified driver to achieve that iirc ...

If someone could do that for android, we could assign "turn display off" to the power button, "home + end call" to the end key and so on ... or am I wrong ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mahagon Coral:
Sorry to double post/bump my question ...

But wouldn't it really be possible to just create a driver that is able to assign certain actions to the buttons instead of static button actions?

Or is this impossible under Android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] davidebeatrice:
I would like to know about this me too...

i use the on screen button to end my calls and using the end key to turn backlight off its unnatural for me...:(

also it will be cool to have the screens template on end key button...;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] zombiegristle:
I actually agree with the idea of the power button ending a call - I hold my phone with my index finger on the top ( a habit I developed after having someone yank a phone away from me), so the power button would be very natural for hanging up as I remove the phone from my ear.

An option, or even info on the files to edit, would be awesome. Could it be as simple as a simple .conf file in the filesystem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] millmanorama:
um... it has been (semi) standard on 'dumb phones' for years that the end call button is also the power button.

that being said, i think the best idea is to have some kind of option so people can choose what they prefer. i think you can get used to either way, but it can be really frustrating if you go back and forth between winmo and android to have them be different.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Reefermattness:
Yes, on "dumb" phones, and android handsets the power button and the end call button are linked to the same button. The difference is, THESE BUTTONS ARE NOT ON THE TOP OF THE HANDSET. They are on the face of the phone, NEXT TO THE CALL BUTTON.

Like i have said before, switching the end call button to the power button on the Rhodium would be chaos. For the mass majority of users, making the end call button NOT end the call, is ridiculous, and confusing. If you were to go out, and buy an Android handset, you would not even have a power button other than the end call button.

Yes, the only way everyone will be happy, is if you can choose how you want the buttons mapped.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
i was thinking not all android devices link the end call and standby buttons together, the nexus one and desire and legend all have them on the top. then when i looked up pictures, they had gotten rid of the send and end call buttons so of course they moved the stand by to the top. i wonder if you press that during a call, would it hand up.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
Power buttons main function: turn the backlight off.

End button's main function: Minimize everything.

Please tell me how I can get this it's driving me crazy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] cardmage7:
cant we just use the touch screen to end a call? i mean if we just use the screen to end the call, then it doesnt matter if the end button doesnt end the call
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
thats what im sayin. i always hit end call on screen. and i always hit the power button to do power functions. so swapping the two buttons functions would be great for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Mahagon Coral:
Is this impossible or does nobody with the knowledge to do so read this thread? :p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] The Jack of Clubs:
people with the knowledge do read this but they dont want to do anything about it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
Bump.... This should be easy to do. Maybe I'll figure out how to do it myself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] paulbram:
+1

To me it's simple math. In any given day, I take maybe 5 calls max. In that same day I pick up my phone to do other tasks probably 50 times. Whenver I complete a task, I hit the power button, expecting the screen to turn off. While in the middle of something, I'll hit the end key expecting to be taken to the home screen.

So, I realize that the power button is not an ideal end key, but it doesn't matter. The 5 times I need it in a day make it far less annoying than the 50 times I'm bitten by the other issues. Add to that 99% of the time the person on the other end of the phone did hit the proper end key (nobody on this lists call me please! :)) which means my phone will hang up anyway even if I don't properly hit the end/power button.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] Anderdroid:
Is there any way to make the phone vibrate when I get a new text? Can't figure it out (android noob :P)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devilcuban:
lol i know the feeling! haha :D, go to Messages and hit "MENU"(windows Key)>SETTINGS>than scroll down to "Notification Settings" and check 'Vibrate"

I have this spl running on my Rogers Dream.

spl: 1.33.2005 DREA21000 from rogers_root_unzipme.zip (md5sum: d522e09be7ddec00ef2354533c14cd2f).

Which spl is this?

Danger?

engineers?

Hard?

or

:eek: uhhhh... (backing away for the door slowly)
[General Questions and Answers] badname:
the title pretty much says it all.

is there any reason why this would happen and is there anything i can do about it.

its for work, IE needs to run a script to put in credentials in a secure connection app to connect to a vpn so we can run our software.

it doesnt work on a tp2, works fine on a verizon diamond.

there is a compatibility check, and it says that javascript is disabled.

scripting is enabled in IE options

the problem with the diamond is that there is so much data on the screen in the app, its really hard using a small screen

not even talking about how we have to type a lot of stuff.

thanks in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hagow:
Hi, wanna give Android a try so I am going to get the HTC Magic from Rogers.

I am confused can all of them be rooted now? I read about perfected SPL that Rogers Magic has which can't be rooted.

Can I use the Marketplace in Canada for paid apps now?

Lastly does Magic have 192ram or 288ram I have read both.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
the new magics cannot be rooted as of yet (although it is in the works)... you cannot used paid marketplace in canada as of yet without installing market_enabler (which i think you need root for)...

and the rogers magic has 288ram, the mytouch 3g in the states has the 192ram...

hope this helps.. if you can find an OLD magic at a rogers store then you may have a non perfected spl..but its hit and miss.. most now have the new spl, radio and rom...

hope this helps..

oh btw i got my magic in January and it did not have the newest perfected spl, but again... hit and miss..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hagow:
Is there anyway to identify this from the box. I don't think they let's boot up every device in the store.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] digitaljeff:
i dont think so.. unfortunately....mabey someone else here might know, but i dont think so.. ask the store how long they have had the magic for.. if its 3 months or older you should be fine..

ill check my magic box once i get home and let you know if i see anything on it that might let you know.. will post back in a few hours..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] laslow:
Look for an HTC Magic. The new, updated devices (with Sense UI and the perfected SPL) are being sold under the name "HTC Magic+ with HTC Sense".

That's no guarantee that if you but a regular Magic from someone that they haven't updated it to the latest ROM already, but it's a place to start.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Hagow:
Don't you lose the 3G data if you don't update though?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] koreancanuck:
I don't think so. I think they just scared the customers into updating. I know my noob friend loves the Sense on it, but we all know rooting the Magic is better :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hol17:
Yes you do because ROGERS has an implemented system to check ROM versions for phones. Although you can sign the waiver that they released (check the forums) and it makes sure they won't disable your data as long as you know about the 911 bug. If you get the Magic+, it will have 1.76.0010 which is perfected but if you buy a Magic and it has SPL 1.76.007 or lower you can root the phone and flash a custom ROM and make sure your phone is rooted and still has 3G data (unless you signed the waiver, you won't have to worry about data loss).

Im having a hell of alot of trouble with flashing an Upgraded radio to my sprint TP2.. the radio that i have that came with the phone is a 1.96.WF.. im trying to flash the radio with a 2.23 WU radio... when i do it. the phone boots the tri color band.. keep in mind it is Unlocked... i used Olipro- unlocker to do this.. n that runned successfuly.. when it came to upgrade the radio.. it keeps failing to write... please help me... Do i have to fullly unlock my phone and pay the 18 dollars?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] anthonyandrews:
This information is from the FIRST Sticky..... ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=578659 )

>>>

YOU MUST BE SECURITY UNLOCKED IN ORDER TO USE THIS!!! - if you are not Security unlocked, you will get a Flash Write Error.

>>>

Yes, if you want to pay the money you can unlock the radio, but I am guessing that you probably don't NEED to unlock the radio. Do you plan to use your TP2 on a GSM Carrier? if you don't, then you don't need to unlock the radio, or flash the new radio.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jedi84luke:
Yes acutaully.. i am going to swtich to a T-mobile sim or an AT&t service soon. But as for the radio.. i would like to have it upgraded becuase the stock one ( 1.96WF) is garbage.. and i would like to switch to the 1.96.10WU version ..

By the way when i boot it to tri color mode.. it shows that the Security is Unlocked.. becuase it says olipro and not the stock hard-spl.. but when it come time to flash it to the 1.96.10WU radio... Errors happen.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] anthonyandrews:
It says Olipro, but does it ALSO say at the top of the screen SECURITY UNLOCKED?

I had issues trying to flash with windows 7 and windows vista.......not sure if those are related to you issue. If at all possible, i recommend that you use XP for flashing.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Jedi84luke:
Actually no... I don't know why? i flashed it on a Windows 7 OS.. i will try the XP and try flashing a radio again..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
make sure to check your connection after each step. activesync or wmdc will disconnect sometimes.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] anthonyandrews:
If the top line of the RAINBOW flag screen does NOT say SECURITY UNLOCKED....then you can NOT flash the WU radios.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ckmarbun:
I have an exact same phone as your htc touch pro2 (sprint), and I did pay $18 in order to get it to work. Well did you try Athena-Unlocker/Hard-SPL and Cheetah-Unlocker/Hard-SPL? these are free. If not please download and try it and keep me update.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Nygel:
make sure the phone is in GSM mode,
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] anthonyandrews:
Do you mean that you can use those apps to unlock the radio and not pay?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
to everyone out there trying to get the unlocker for free, YOU CAN'T! for those wondering if these radios give better reception, THESE ARE ONLY FOR USING GSM WHILE IN THE UNITED STATES ON A CDMA PHONE! for the one guy talking about flashing anything but a rhodium hspl, you will brick your phone.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] anthonyandrews:
I paid for the radio unlock. i was just asking the other poster if that was what they were indicating. (that the athena unlocker is free and works)

I have mine unlocked just in case I work in some small no-horse town again, where only AT&T is present. I have worked in such a town, that did not even allow t-mobile phones to roam on the tower. only at&t will work there. (one of the locals told me that cingular USED to work there.)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Dr.8820:
don't follow what the other guy says about flashing a different hspl unless you want a paperweight. you can't get the unlocker for free is all i'm saying.

Hi guys

I'm still looking for the right rom for me so I flash different ones every now and then. The problem is with full wipe because for certain apps I would like to keep all settings and changes. In WinMo settings could really be anywhere - certain "ini" files or some entries in registry, it differed from app to app.

How do I do this on Android?

thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
It would be stored in /data
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paw3lk:
I have found folders /data/data/package_name - would that be it? So I just copy contents of these folders and copy back on a fresh rom after the app has been installed again?

Edit: Yes, it worked for Vexed and SNESoid
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phatmanxxl:
There are a few good back-up apps on the market. I use Titanium which you can reinstall the app+data or just restore data. It also restores system settings and all that. The only problem it gives me, it causes problems with the market after a full restore so i only use the "restore data" features on apps. Hope this helps.

And how make real .gif smiles in incoming SMS messages (like in this forum ?) is it could setting in *.xml or in *.dll files?

Any ideas?

P.S. pls do not tell about any third-party soft like "smileySMS" or smth.

I remember KingKlick put a screenshot of Sense in landscape for the G1 in a early leak of Hero 2.1. Is there anyway to force landscape with us? If anything just so we know that it's possible...
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
I use SMS popup and when it displays a new text if I tilt it sideways it displays sense in the background sideways, with the correct ration for the phone/app bar and everything. But when I hit anything on smspopup it goes away and into my messages or lock screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tdavis42:
Eventually we will be able to put the home screen into landscape but it will have to be coded into a rom that can only be loaded when root access is granted on the phone. So in other words not yet. Will it happen? Yes. When? soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcarrz1:
the eris launcher here does support landscape, as all the g1 ports support it.

Somehow this lot of silicone cases has this special pattern and with their thick cuts that gives this case a bit of a luxury feel to it, and unlike the smooth silicone thin layer cases that might shift its position or collect lints. this one I had also for my other phones before, no regrets.

[HD2 General] alex fung:
You just don't sync past events more than 2 weeks. The pocket calendar is not meant for an archive. To view old appointments, you need to go back to outlook, exchange or gmail.

Even on palm, you should archive/purge your pim data regularly to avoid it growing indefinitely. On WM, the practise is forced upon you. Only the recent entries appear on WM, and the full set stays on host.
[HD2 General] Oscat01:
Thanks for the reply Alex, that is not good news, if it went to two years that would have been enough, but 6 months is not enough let alone only 2 weeks.

If I could I would back up outlook.pst and then delete all appointments before say 2008, then Active sync with setting "all", this been the initial sync. I would then set it to last month (in Active sync options/calender/settings) for all future syncs. Then return backed up pst to outlook and go from there.

But when I change from all to 6 months it deletes all but the last six months I have never used Outlook, being used to Palmdesktop so it is a steep learning curve, we have just found duplicate contacts from the sim card in Outlook. So more sorting out.

Is there a more customisable syncing software available, active sync seems so basic it 's making me miss Palm Hotsync though that had issues as well.
