Can't say I don't agree with you on most of that. I honestly don't expect much of a reply... at most a blanket letter or something like that. I've also been working my way to other vendors. I've got some android variant on my TP2 now and Ubuntu on my laptop (both still dual boots, but it's a step that direction). I just didn't want it all to happen without my 2 cents' worth being thrown at them.

Thanks for stopping by.

[HD2 General] solidkevin:
Just got my HD2 and have been installing games and apps, but they are kind of all over the place, how can I put games in my "games" folder, how can I make folders etc. I hate when I install a game and its icon is in the start menu rather then in the "games" folder.
[HD2 General] pongster:
There are a couple of ways to do this... I use Resco Explorer and go straight to the start menu and cut and paste into new folders (if they don't already exist)...

There are also Apps that do this available here on XDA-Devs:) JSPA Program Manager is the one I recommend:)

[Imagio General] DebK33:
First off...I really have searched and haven't found my exact issue. So...my husband is on his 3RD Imagio!!!! the first one started with the "A problem has occurred with audiomanager_eng.exe" 2 days after we got it!! so since tech support from Verizon & HTC couldn't help,Verizon exchanged it for another Imagio. The second Imagio went for about a week before the error and tech support(from Verizon AND HTC) suggested,before letting us fully explain,that we should do a hard reset;so we did that and it took all of a few hours before the error came back!!! Now we're on our 3rd Imagio and that error didn't come up at first but...music would only play for a few seconds before stopping until...I,just playing around,deleted the folder titled "ART" from within the Music folder on the SD card. that worked for 2 days and then tonight my husband calls me and tells me that not only is the music stopping but it's also coming up with the audiomanager_eng.exe error now!!! Oh,the SD card we had in the 2 Imagios before was 16GB and after tech support suggested we reformat it,it still had the error on both phones!! After we got the 3rd Imagio,and we had the same problem,both HTC and Verizon suddenly said "Try a smaller card" so we tried the 8GB we have and,like I said earlier,it worked for a few days;however,now not only is the music stopping but...the audiomanager_eng.exe error is back!!! WHAT THE HE**?!? What do we do? Can the Imagio not handle a 16GB card? That's not really the issue for my husband as he doesn't mind a smaller card if we could just get the music to play AND not have that error come up!! We also don't want to have to do another hard reset and my husband doesn't like Windows Media Player(tried using after suggested by tech support) because,while it plays the music(although only sporadically),it keeps saying "buffering" while trying to play a song!! I think both HTC and Verizon have their heads in the sand because both of their support said they had not heard of this issue when I first called!! If this helps,the ROM version is 1.08.605.11 and the ROM date is 09/05/09. PLEASE help!!!
[Imagio General] BleedingEdj:
Hi

The Imagio can handle not only 16GB SD cards, but 32GB cards as well (when they are available). I have an Imagio too and regularly use it for music and audio books, which approach 50MB in size each - without problems. Since you have not mentioned using 3rd party apps I'm assuming your using the built-in media player and are not using unsupported file types or codecs.

From your issues it sounds like the problem is related to either your SD card or audio files - or both, as that is more likely than the same issue happening repeatedly with 3 different Imagios running stock media player.

Try this:

Format your SD card as FAT32 (don't use Quick Format), this will mark any bad sectors on the card as unusable so files will not be stored in them.

Re-sync your audio files to the card from your original source.

For good measure, use a card reader and access the card from a computer. Use the computer disk management tools to run error checking on the card contents with the option set to automatically fix any errors found. This should catch any file corruption issues you may have with your media content.

Good luck!

Hello

I hope someone can suggest me which other HTC model do have almost the same specification as HD2 aspecially the screen resulation. Why do i need this? This is due to Im trying to download latest Pocket Islam 9.0 I need to choose my model but too bad there is no HD2 model there. Hope other model which is almost same can been used and function well.

Thanks for you time.

[HD2 General] sliv:
man there arent any phone with HD2's specs out there :p the closest one is the nexus one or desire i guess.but any way any device with a WVGA resolution (480*800) should be fine.:D
[HD2 General] dameon12:
Nexus One is the best alternative if you dont want to have WinMob.

I was torn between both devices and my decision fell on the HD2 as i like the customization in WinMo.

Anybody that says Android or Apple OS got the most apps is wrong. There are sooo many apps for WinMob devices - they just dont look that good in most cases because the programmers have to take care that a bright range of devices is supported.

But there are also apps for WinMob that shows nice gfx like SPB Quads.

I still will have an eye on the Nexus One as i like the voice command thing.

If u want to have more colors than 65k you should have a look at the motorola milestone. That device got 16 million (!!!) coors and the screen looks very impressing to me.

My advice to you is to check these threee phones and take the one that suits your needs best.

i dont know why this is happening but every do often my icon text in the app drawer gets thrown off to the right. Any idea why this would happen? Im using the latest cyanogen mod with kspec theme. My phones only having that problem along with the 3g/EDGE issues, but im no business person that has to have 3g all the time so my main concern is the alignment with the icon text. I will try to get a screen shot if possible on here. But anyone know what I can do about this?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malicious85:

Mine is stock, happens to me all the time but lately every app in the drawer goes bonkers. Just add it to the list I guess, I do hope the copious software bugs are fixed before any big update come out (like flash/ 2.2 in general) . Im going to really love this phone once the UI is stable.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] davide169:
I've searched and searched most of the Android forums along with the Eris forums as well but I can't find anyone who has gotten this to work. The best I could find was someone in Puerto Rico with a Eris that even with a 1x connection wasn't able to get a GPS sync.

Has anyone traveled to Europe with a CDMA Hero and been able to get a GPS lock?

Were you able to use co-pilot or something similar with offline maps to be able to navigate around?

I tested putting the phone in airplane mode and turning on GPS and using GPS Logger to see if I get a sync and I do here in the US. In the settings I only had "Use GPS satellites" checked and not "use wireless networks". This leads me to believe it should work but I have to wonder if the last sync was cached which allowed it to work in testing.

So if anyone has and real life experience with this please let me know, otherwise I may have to drag out the old Mogul with a BT GPS dongle.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
Good question! I am going to Japan for 2 weeks and was wondering the same thing.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] zeezey:
It should work I think, cause GPS is supposed to locate you anywhere. Its just the maps but google maps has the whole world.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lordofokra:
Only thing is, Maps requires a data connection to display the maps!

You'd probably have to get a europe navigation program for android (if one exists?)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
Yeah, it's called CoPilet Live Navigation Europe, but its f***ing expensive lol

like $75 USD

Better pleasure me at the same time as navigating for that price :p
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] gu1dry:
There is a hacked GMaps that works outside the USA...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] davide169:
I'm starting to think no one has any real world experience with this. I have a feeling my upcoming travel I will end up being a guinea pig.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lordofokra:
Wouldn't he still need data to use it? Europe doesn't use our CDMA and he wouldn't have signal.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] centran:
I found a navigation app that doesn't need an interenet connection. It relies on OpenStreetMap so I am not sure how good that data is in Europe

http://www.andnav.org/

I also found this app which lets you download an area while you have an internet connection

http://bigplanetmaps.wordpress.com/

but it seems buggy.

There is also this one but it doesn't look like it has a navigation option

http://www.mapdroyd.com/

All the notable gps navigation apps that have mappacks cost $50 or more.

Another problem is that your phone uses the cell network as a "cheat" to get your initial location. So whenever you boot up a GPS nav app without cell towers it is going to take several minutes to get your location so just be aware it will take awhile to get your location. That fact is true for any GPS unit you start for the first time. This is why the newer units will ask for the city you are in so it can try to get a lock faster.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ymsc:
I was in Europe earlier this month and none of the pictures I took with the phone had any of the GPS data in it.

Hope your results are different.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
y doesn't someone ask someone from Europe?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ymsc:
They do not have the CDMA Hero in Europe
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] regaw_leinad:
lol wow I don't even remember asking that last night ?? what a dumb question haha
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] centran:
I think a good way to test if it will work is to do a complete wipe and as soon as the phone boots throw it in airplane mode. Then disable the network location by celltower. Disable Mobile network. Take it out of airplane mode and activate only the GPS(not the mobile network location... make sure that is off before you come out of airplane mode)

Then put one of those program on your phone (I am liking andnav) and see if it finds your location after several minutes.

You need to wipe it so your phone never gets your current location. This will be a similar situation to when you go overseas.

The big question here is does the Hero need that initial location from the towers or will it do like other GPS units and search until it find the location(which can take many minutes!)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] centran:
I just tried that andnav2 and it properly won't work for you.

Even if you download the mappacks you will still need to cache and area you are visiting while you have a data connection. Then you can't plan routes there unless you have a data connection. You can however pre-load routes and then don't need a data connection but you have to pre-plan stuff.

I am sorry to say but I think your best bet is to get a dedicated unit. The paid apps for the android might do the job for you if you want to save on how many electronics you carry around but they are so expensive that I say by then just buy a separate unit.

If you have or want to buy a TomTom then I can tell you how to get maps for your areas you are visiting but you will need to PM me. Not only am I not allowed to post but that would be way off topic since it has nothing to do with the Hero. I took a TomTom One when I went to Germany a couple months ago and it worked like a charm.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] davide169:
Just bumping this in case anyone has any further insight or has tried this.

I still planning on trying it myself. I'll have the old mogul with a bluetooth gps dongle as a backup.

Actually here is a question. Has anyone gotten a bluetooth gps dongle to work with their phones. I know the last time I was in europe my mogul would not pick up a gps signal with the internal chip but as soon as I fired up the bluetooth everything was good.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] feld:
japan uses cdma. you'll probably have a nice strong roaming signal over there :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
Yep, I'm in Japan right now. As soon as I took my phone out of airplane mode I got a roaming notification for $1.99/minute. No thanks! I disabled mobile network and have just been using the camera and music functions.

I'm posting this from my father-in-law's computer. He lives in a small town outside of Tokyo and I haven't found a wifi hotspot yet. I'm going in to Tokyo tomorrow so I will try to find a free one somewhere and maybe download some maps.

Earlier today I tried getting a GPS lock w/google maps and it seems like it found my location (no map, of course) but now it says "your location is temporarily unavailable". Maybe the initial lock was cached data? I may try the wipe/airplane mode method that centron posted.

BTW, I have seen ads for WIMAX here. Hopefully next time I'm here I'll have the EVO.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] leth4l:
Based on my experience traveling around Europe with my Sprint Mogul you will need to have a CDMA signal even if your phone has a dedicated GPS chip. Even TomTom wouldn't work without it. Granted this is a different phone running WM6, but I believe the result will be the same.

Please write us back when you test it out across the pond and let us know.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] wiszmaster:
I'll try to remember in the am. I'm in the UK right now. I tried the other day, but was having issues getting a dhcp addresses from the wifi ....
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] davide169:
The easiest thing would be to load gps logger and see if you get a actual lock. If you can try rebooting and possibly even pulling the battery and see if you get a lock.

I look forward to hearing the results.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mountaindont:
this is something you might consider talking to sprint about.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] davide169:
I can't see them even being remotely helpful with this. We are better off as a community figuring it out.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
I was in Europe and the Middle East for a while with my Touch Pro for a while, and I can definitively say it does NOT work. Even though the TP has aGPS and a standalone mode, without cell towers being able to be located, the GPS will not work. It will see GPS satellites, but will not be able to achieve a lock. I even had TomTom on there, and it would never lock.

On my second trip back, I ended up taking my tomtom standalone unit with me and it worked just fine.

So, even though our phones MIGHT have a standalone GPS operation, I can say with 99.99999% certainty that it will not ever work, no matter what app you have. No CDMA towers (even if you're not using them) no GPS. Period.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
I'm trying to find a download for the "GPS Test" app but, of course, all I can find are links to the market. Anyone have it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] kmartburrito:
Hey, here's an app I was messing around with for a while, it will give you GPS coordinates. Unfortunately, when I also tested it in network form, I didn't change the name of the app. So, to use them both, you'll need to uninstall the app and reinstall using the other apk. Both are signed by me, and utilize my google maps api key, so you won't need to do anything with it to make it work. This is just test software I wrote to help me with a proof of concept app, so it's very no-frills.

EDIT -- To clarify, there are two apps, one for network location coordinates, one for gps. for GPS, you need to have GPS on before you'll get something, it won't turn it on itself. After you get the coordinates, you can hit the button "What city am I in?" and it will tell you your city. Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] watzone69:
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I just installed it, turned on GPS, and then ran it. I really don't think it's going to find anything here (like you said in your previous post) but I'll leave it running for a while and see.

I also found out that there is no such thing (that I have found) as free wifi in Japan.:( Hell, in Austin even Dairy Queen has it!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] kallt_kaffe:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gtar.htm

However you may want to consider doing a Linux install. I think most Android hacking is done i Linux. I recommend doing a Wubi install of Ubuntu(google it) if you want to try out Linux without messing with your partitions. Another option is to run Linux from within Virtualbox.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Nautis:
An easy way is to install 7zip. With it you can store files in tar.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
The best way of learning how to put together a custom Android build is to start by studying the way that the .tar files are structured, I started by using 7-zip to study and change some of the files, ( you can really mess up your android doing this ;) ).

However you will need to have access to a PC running Linux for some of the more advanced tasks. There are ways of running Linux without disturbing your PC's partitioning, but honestly, a dual-boot is the best way to go, you only need about 10-50GB of hard disc space for a decently set up Linux install, (10GB is enough for a well set up slackware based install like zenwalk).

Good luck on your journey into Android :)
