[Hero CDMA General] cooolone2:
The only truly saving grace of these phones about the sensitivity of location awareness with respect to paranoia of the same, is that we can pull the battery and remove any doubt that the phone cannot disclose its function or location.

;)

There was an article I read a while ago that the Fed's had issued over 3 million location requests last year to Sprint on users - warrant-less! How's that for Paranoia!!!

But all these apps in the market has the Buyer Beware tag so, of course at some point or another it will be exploited! For the most part, the idea of location awareness and marketing/advertisement and or service oriented provisioning is a great concept. The openness of the Android system to provide the same - will undoubtedly have it's shortfalls. A Good Firewall app that notifies and asks for approval prior to transmitting info or accepting connections from an app would go a long way to controlling potential problems. Just like a PC, which basically these phones have become.

:cool:
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
well, considering I don't go on any financial sites from my phone, there's not much they can get off it...do they want my school email password? Have at it...they can read those worthless emails if they want (heck, even send a nice threatening email to my profressors for all I care lol).

Not to mention that my phone gets wiped a few times a week, just like so many other people here, there's not much they can get unless they can manage to hack into my google account and steal my credit card info...in which case, they won't be able to spend much on that account, since there's nothing in it lol.

This is as bad as "big brother" listening to my phone calls. What do I care? lol. If someone wants to know where I am, then by all means, let them know where I am. I'm not doing anything of interest to them.

On a side note, we apparently have caught the attention of the mods in this sub-forum, and have become a "family forum" according to a different thread lol.
[Hero CDMA General] cooolone2:
Hey Tatonka! Lol, wassup? hahaha, but if you could, please elaborate? I know it's off topic, but I'm happy to be apart of the Android Family :D hehe...

And oh... is there any PGP type Android app that anyone might be familiar with? Lol, just thinking about it with this topic, lol...
[Hero CDMA General] casperlt1:
I was thinking about that 'Firewall App' idea.Maybe that could be done,it would definitely be something worth looking into.

In response to totonka's post,i hear you.I'm the same way,BUT there are plenty of people who do have sensitive info/files/pictures(you know what I'm talking about) that surely wouldn't want ANYone to have access to.That's just how it is.I'm just thinking of the tons of people who don't even know that this is even possible.
[Hero CDMA General] cooolone2:
My thoughts also, but I don't know if it is a true Firewall or just handles calls... :)
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
A security issue is still a security issue even if it doesn't affect you, and an invasion of privacy is still an invasion of privacy even if you don't care about it. Not trying to start any sort of flame here, please don't take it that way. Just mean to say that if you wait to take a stance on a known problem until it becomes YOUR problem, haven't you maybe waited too long?

[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Is there anyway way (reg tweaks) to rename the categories? Reason I ask is that the 'Airplane Mode' has a bloody spelling mistake.

It says 'Disable wireless connectionss' and it's driving me mad!!

If anyone has a cab to correct this or how to change it I'd appreciate it
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
lol... mine has a spelling mistake also but not the same one! i just have the xtra "s" at the end

it says:

Disable all wireless connectionss

rom v 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE (official stock rom)
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
Didn't notice it on the stock ROM - how annoying!!

Must be a way of changing it as Miri's WinMo 6.5 ROM didn't have it...and it also had the toggle working correctly
[HD2 General] thegios:
yeah actually I'v always been wonering: why do they have two toggles for one purpose?
[HD2 General] marcus1078:
can anybody help i updated my rom for the first time and now all i have is the htc logo at the start up screen ???? please help
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
youve installed the wrong radio

take the battery out and put it back in

press the power button and hold down VolDown to put your phone into bootloader

download the radio the rom has specified and flash that with customRUU

restart the phone it should work

if it doesnt do not worry

instead of flashing a different radio, flash another rom

let me know how it goes
[HD2 General] marcus1078:
thats great it worked :) :D thank you

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lovenvik:
Is ther any chanse to remote spotify from my mobile ? like i play music from spotify on my computer. And then i can change track, vol up/down from my htc hd2. Is this possible ? Thanks fore help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TeveT:
I wouldnt mind that either, I got G-remote set up working for winamp but not sure how to make it work with spotify...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
use remote desktop
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TeveT:
That is a possibility, and that is what i am doing at the moment. But shouldnt there be a way to get g-remote to tell the "next song"-command (etc) to Spotify instead of Winamp?...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TeveT:
I figured out how to do that with one of the tutorials on their page (g-remote's)... So i suggest you look there lovenvik..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lovenvik:
Yes. But then the computer logging off and the sound will not come out from the computerspekers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
Check out the options in the windows mobile rdp application... you can specify whether sound is played on the remote computer or on your device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Audio Oblivion:
Thats good to know mate... could you not just post what you did here though? It would be helpful to others who may stumble across this thread on xda.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lovenvik:
Are you using the one you can download from ther website or are you using the xda verision?

I tryed to install the one that xda have but i cant install the cab file (WM6BTPAN) get error code:1062 so it dont work fore me. The real verision from gsoftware are working thow, but its just a demo.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TeveT:
I tried posting this a couple of days ago but since in included urls then i could not post it. But I'm rewriting it now to tell you what to search for instead :)

I am using server version 1.3.3.71 and client version 1.3.2.96 (although i had to use an older one to add profiles since that one wont let me).

gbmsoftware.com (homepage of the developers) has a videotutorial under their FAQ called "How to add custom program to GMedia profiles". It shows how to make VLC controllable but works just as well with using the key shortcuts that Spotify use.

Just google "spotify keyboard shortcuts" and you should have no trouble finding it.

Same goes for lets say MPC... (my favourite)

Hope that helps :)

The demo version should work to try out, but getting your hands on a registered version might help... That's what I did :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Well I don't know what I was thinking, but I flashed a My Touch radio (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640535) on my 32a Magic. Now I can't get past the Rogers logo. I've read that if I boot my phone while pressing home+power after entering 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img', that I will be able to get back into the recovery image and fastboot screen. Now the question I have is what recovery image should I use? The My Touch one, or the 32a Magic one?

Any other ideas would be appreciated.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] novat:
use the recovery that corresponds with the radio you flashed (mytouch in this case) - should work fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Will do, thanks.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Ok, that did not work, any other ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
The 32A recovery works on the MyTouch LE (Fender Edition) phones.

What is the exact radio/SPL version on your phone?

I've 'semi-bricked' my phone like this before too. It's scary, but fixable.

EDIT:

You have no idea how many times I hear myself think the very same thing... But I wouldn't have learned that the Hero SPL 1.76.2007 works on the 32A Magic unless I was a little reckless. :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bcrook:
Why dont you boot into fastboot (back and power) and do the following:

Download the 3.22.20.17, 1.33.2010 SPL and 32a recovery

Radio: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img

SPL: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/hboot-1.33.2010.img

Recovery: http://briancrook.ca/magic/3.22/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img

fastboot flash radio Radio_HTC_PVT_32A_3.22.20.17.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2010.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H-pink.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader

This will wipe the entire system partition but won't touch your /data. You will reboot into fastboot after the last command. Make sure you have the 3.xx radio and SPL. Reboot into recovery.

Hope this works.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Solimian:
This may be a bit off topic, but you can test recovery without installing.

/fastboot boot /mnt/data.castra/data/htc/htc_magic/Recovery/recovery-RA-hero-v1
.6.2.img

Thought this was cool when I came across it a few days ago. (wanted to see what these carebears were about....
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
if u can reach fastboot y not flash ->

32A new radio or old radio + new radio or old spl

Edit dont flash recovery -> boot recovery

fastboot boot recovery.....img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Solimian:
Well, I like to test things out, and if I'm trying to troubleshoot what recovery works with a new radio, this would be how. The OP was asking which recovery works with his radio, just giving him tools to figure it out.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
hero recovery works with new radio 32A magic

but 1.5.3.1 not 1.6.something
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
will try it thanks...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Radio: 2.22.23.02

SPL: 1.33.2010

What recovery image should I try using with that combination?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sindrefyrn:
Since you haven't yet said.. Can you access fastboot?

If not, can fastboot or adb find your phone when your stuck on the Rogers splash?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mjrgens:
The 32B recovery. For example: recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G.img
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
adb will not find my phone, and I cannot access fastboot.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Tried that recovery, it didn't work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ahmgsk:
use gold card while fastboot -> and go to original sense rom -> think this as last option

its not rooted yet so (i think so!!)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] hotweiss:
Will the gold card method work if I can't get into fastboot?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] philicibine:
i think, from past reading on here... your on the right track...

u need to have the phone powered off... plug in the usb cable to the phone and computer.

then try these commands

fastboot kill server
fastboot boot <your.32b.recoveryimage.img>

you should then hopefully see

<waiting for device>

then try powering up your phone... and if it boots...

flash your radio.. spl ... rom etc...

hope this works for you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] saintnickxiii:
First off, this is my first post (correction, THREAD), so I'm very sorry if it's not in the right section..

this one's for all you talented developers, i know you guys are good, so maybe take a look and tell me the feasability of this...

Well, I had an idea for an app, that assists in those moments when a phone is lost/stolen that would utilize the gps, g sensor, and or bluetooth/wifi...

something like this,

say you loose your phone. Your buddy pulls out his smartphone, and opens the same app (you would already have installed the app on yours or this would be useless) and he could go online, or something, open his bluetooth,,, something, that would sync to your device, and activate the app in the background. Then your device would give away its location, and info regaurding if it is totaly stationary (like left it in the crack of a sofa) or non stationary (someone who just stole it is holding it, playing with it) and all this without the thief knowing, it all runs in the back ground. Utilizing the compass on your buddies phone, it will guide you in the right direction, and, i dunno, beep or flash like a radar indicating distance to stolen/lost phone...

now, sometimes the battery runs flat and then you lose your phone, or the thieves played with it enough and theres no juice left. One could maybe solve this solution by tricking the OS into thinking it has, lets say 5% less battery than it actually has, this shutting the phone off when only 5% (or however much an app like this would need) remains, so the app can run, without turning the screen on i could imagine you could get a good 20-30 minutes. i think it should be an app that runs totaly in the background, so in the case that its stolen, the thief doesnt run away or rip the battery out to shake you.

There could also be a 'panic' button, similair to a car alarm panic button, the would set an alarm off (maybe a really loud annoying siren/beeping) that can only be disabled with a pass code... and if your cam has a flash, that could be flashing too.....

another idea, if the whole wireless doesnt work that way (I love tech, but i can't say that i know exactly how everythign works) maybe a high pitched tone could be emitted, on a certain frequency just above what we can hear, and could be read by your buddies phone, indicating relative distance and location... and annoy all the dogs in the park.

ah, somehow i think this is 90% not possible, but it would be cool it if was.

Maybe something like this already exists, maybe not. I didn't really do my homework.

let me know what you think!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] saintnickxiii:
apologies for my horrendous spelling...

it's just been going downhill these days.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
do your homework. there's already apps on this board that are exactly doing this. Basically anything you wrote except messing around with your dogs. oh and bluetooth is only for small range connections as is wifi! usually such applications are controlled by hidden sms messages. scroll down few more pages and the first app should already jump into your face.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] saintnickxiii:
oh, really?

Like i said, I didnt do too much reasearch into the subject, i probably should have though...

well, thats great then! is there an app with all of these features? because if, then i can stop dreaming and start downloading!!!

thanks :=)

Hi :o

I purchased SPB Mobile Shell for my Toshiba TG01 at the weekend. I'd like to change my background pictures to pictures of my own. I select the "change Background" option were it then gives me 3 options to choose from to which i choose "picture file"

I pick a picture i want to use and i get the "Edit Picture" option to which there is a crop box. How can i get the FULL picture as my background? rather than just parts of it that have been magnified?? It doesn't seem to help even if i re-size my picture, again the picture once set as my background has been made larger than it really is.

You have to install a safemode program.

Basically at this point you have to reflash your phone.....ALWAYS back up your data.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zefiltrin:
That snooze system of WM is probably the most stupid part of the OS, in my opinion...

I've really would like to see someone improve that, specially the gap between snooze 1 hour or 1 day.

But I think that in your case you can just Dismiss the alarm. It will not delete the appointment itself. You would have to tap "View item" and then delete.

I really miss the "check appointment" also, since sometimes the apt is displayed even hours before it has gone...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rotoloz:
yes you right... but i would have delete instead of ignore... because you probably have to postpone.. not ignore..
