[Omnia II General] All Day On XDA:
I am considering buying this phone when released - but only if supported on this site.

Will it be supported and what are people's impressions of Samsung smartphones overall?
[General Questions and Answers] cb2206:
Hi,

I have the problem that a 3rd Party application (Syclo Agentry Client) is trying to connect to a server but the GPRS connection via the ISP is not initiated.

Opening a page in Internet Explorer or using MSN Messenger triggers the GPRS connection automatically. As soon as the connection is running, the 3rd party application is also able to connect to its server.

I am wondering whether the initiation of a GPRS connection is something which has to be specifically supported by each application or whether I am missing anything else.

Thanks,

Christian

Hello,

I want to buy a WM6.1 device with a resolution 640x480 (with 192dpi).

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the Real VGA tool to switch from 192dpi to 128 dpi. (or does Real VGA only works on 320x320 devices like Samsung

i780.

Please help, thanks

[HD2 General] shamrock73:
As per title, I would like to know if there is a similar way to back up the whole system (including user generated data) like I used to do with Android

In Android system you can use the Nandroid feature to backup/restore the whole system including user data.

Just to make an example if you want to try a cooked ROM in Android you just have to make a nandroid backup first, install the cooked rom and if you don't like it you can simply restore the old one by simply running a nandroid backup. This will resyore your system exactly as it was just one minute before installing the cooked ROM, will all settings and apps as they were before...

Is there a similar feature/ app in Windows Mobile??

Thanks
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
This is rather problematic on WM. There is no way how to tell which files or registry entries are system and which are user. User data must be preserved, system data must not be preserved.

Do there are backup solutions which backup all, but they are intended to be restored on the same ROM. Then there are systems which can be restored on different ROMs, but they don't backup all, only known common user data.
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Ok... let me start off by saying you obviously havent searched this forum as you would have found several thousand threads asking about how to backup a full system and restore.

Now to answer your question...

You can run a full system backup (ALL data) with SPB Backup.

SPB Backup creates an exe file that when run will restore your entire system (apps, pim data,... EVERYTHING!). It is completely customisable so YOU choose what to backup.

However... you must make sure that you run the restore in ROM UPGRADE MODE if you are restoring onto a rom that is different from the rom that the backup was created with.

It is not problematic on windows mobile. Its just that most users havent got a clue about this.
[HD2 General] shamrock73:
Thank you!

Audio Oblivion and Dr.Sid , I really appreciate your answer, I will give it a try :)

I understand what you're saying and makes perfectly sense.

It's just that such backup feature is so important I was expecting to find it more easily

(i.e. without 'expert' mode enabled :D)
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
it is relatively easy to find but there is just so much mis-information posted on these forums nowadays. Noobs dont really have much chance.

Let me know if you get any problems!

Every day I play Alpine a long time,But Its battery only 1300Mah,If I have been playing,It only can use at least 7hours,why Alpine's battery life time so little?Who has got solution?:confused:
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] mrpj:
I think you should use the 1600 mAh battery (PH17B battery series) to make your battery lifes longer. I've been using it on my O2 Xda IIi.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] kevcal:
Battery life depends on what you are doing with it of course...:

Make sure you have IR turned off.

If you are in a bad mobile coverage area that will run down the battery faster.

WiFi being on kills battery life.

There is also a normal/turbo option in power settings to change the processor speed.

Turning down the backlight brightness can help a lot as well.

I'm sure there ae other things that can conserve battery life...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaymit:
Hi everyone,

I have tried a number of 2.1 roms from MaXo64 original dump to nprussells 3.3 and although some network issues have been patched (for mms) I have noticed that I am not getting my SMSs and my messages are sending late or sometimes not sending at all on these ROMs. I have not tests MMS but it wasnt working in the initial ROMs (obviously).

Has anyone experienced these problems? Any guidance on how to resolve?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jaymit:
anyone have a reponse to this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wouwout:
I Haven't had this issue with Vanillain 1.0 and 1.1 (vanilla 2.1 android for Hero). GMS white Hero.

It used to happen on the first release of HTC's Sense system. I had installed an app called SMS to Mailbox (in the Market) that was able to catch the missing SMS'es and send them to my mailbox. You could try this app.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Rabangus:
Anyone tried one of these?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1800mAh-Batte...neBatteries?hash=item3caa613853#ht_1915wt_832

Sounds good as they are the same size as stock battery, but not sure if they live up to expectations?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] RobyMax1:
Did you buy the battery????

If yes, can you tell us something about?

I' bought ones (different productor) from another buyer: after 2 days it was broken...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] Rabangus:
No, was waiting for some positive reviews of the battery...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Accessories] adelja:
you can`t trust these batteries and those ebay-sellers

I bought one B. with the same specs over here in Germany from an ebay-seller,

but found out that my 1340 mA/h has done the same job.

I would not trust them untill it is sold from a company that is reliable.
[HD2 General] bazvw205:
ever since this was installed my battery life is terrible, the phone lasts literally hours, is there anyway to go back to standard? :confused:
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Yes there is. Read the stickies in the ROM Development thread very carefully before you take the next step.

[HD2 General] bazvw205:
thanks, I might try using an updated energy rom first as mine is an old one by the looks of it, what is the easiest way to install a new one now? :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] mazzarin:
It takes about 2-3 power cycles (significant discharge/charge to full/etc.) to get your phone to a reasonable state of usage in my experience. Keep that in mind before you go flashing another.

[Click Android Development] dancer_69:
I searched a lot to find it too. You must reboot to recovery mode(holding home button) and then when the recovery android image appears must quick press and release home+back+red buttons(this is a little tricky) to appear the recovery mode menu with the option to flash the update image.
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Actually, saving system partition cann't enhance the performance, I have deleted that stmt.(symlink) in updater-script, and restored the app/framework to /system partition. Thank you!

Update to v0.1 plz.:)

btw, it's not necessary to press "HOME+BACK+END" at the same time to enter the recovery menu UI, just hold HOME button and then press END, you will get it.
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
update to v0.2

I have updated my personal ROM(fyodor ROM) to v0.2. If you meet any problem after flashing the ROM or if you have any suggestion, please let me know. Thank you!

v0.2 Changelog:

* restore SenseUI.

* add nano text editor.

* add terminfo for nano UI displayed properly.

* add scp command.

* busybox symlinked to /system/xbin/* (200+ command linked).

* replace default wifi config file: tiwlan.ini. (keep connecting with sharp speed, disable powersave mode by default)

* auto-install tattoo-hack.ko module.

* patch the market program to display all apps.

* formatting /data partition has been canceled in updater-script. (but wiping /data partition in recovery mode is strongly recommended)
[Click Android Development] Mikhael_:
The Recovery image that you have attached is the TCRI? or another recovery image?
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:

[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Really very strange. :(

Try to delete the item about com.htc.launcher in /data/system/packages.xml file and report the result please.

Edit: if you applied the v0.5.1 patch, the HTC_IME.apk won't be the stock one, I just forgot this point.
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
I changed back to default rosie and widgets.... it works great.

I will test again with your rosie in about an hour...

edit:

There are several entries with "com.htc.launcher" in /data/system/packages.xml... what do you want me to delete there?

yes just tested and keyboard doesnt work either...
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
Cannot make the keyboard to work and i get only this error in debugger:

What is this libimezi.so? Cant find it anywhere... chinese input?
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
This dynamic lib is only needed by HTC_CIME.apk, the chinese input program.

I have re-flashed v0.5.1_patch and then SenseUI package, my Tattoo works great. I really have no idea about the keyboard not working.

The /data/system/packages.xml will be regenerated after booting, so deleting com.htc.launcher items will be safe. I'm not sure it will contribute to this issue.

PS, the v0.5.1 patch has been updated with restoring stock HTC_IME.apk and Settings.apk files. Please check the md5sum value.
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
But i dont have any chinese programs :) even less keyboards...

Anyway i restored to 0.5 and will try 0.5.1 again later if i get some time...

Would it hurt if I took the boot.img and used it in my ROM? I assume it would work, as that image holds all the files required at boot level. My ROM is based on stock 1.6 RUU, and I assume that it should work (unless you use exotic random crazy stuffs).

I'll download and try out your Sense UI build, if it's good, I'll credit you and use it in my ROM.
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Hi, glad to here that. :)

fyodor-ROM was also extracted from 1.6 RUU, so other ROM based on 1.6 RUU will be OK if someone takes my customized kernel into it. However, the most important task is to look through change log for the kernel and unsquash modules.sqf file, which includes all external modules. The modules.sqf must be mounted on /system/lib/modules directory. Moreover, the kernel itself will be changed time to time. The one thing I can be sure of is that the kernel is efficiently working.

[Click Android Development] liderzre:
Little confused...

What is the procedure for installing this ROM?

0.5->0.51->0.52->sense ui patch

or

0.5->0.52->sense ui patch ?

I have now installed 0.5->0.51->sense ui patch.

Should i install only 0.52 ?

or must install from beggining?

or sense ui again after apply 0.52?

Why is this all not included in one ROM ?

THX
[Click Android Development] coolbits:
Just install 0.5.2 on top... worked fine here.
[Click Android Development] rwmanos:
does the patch recovers the htc widgets and wifi gps ones too ?

btw you don't have to install 0.5.1 too because its 0.5.2 (0.5.1 included )
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
@reply to the confused:

Patch v0.5.2 has included v0.5.1, so if you haven't patched the v0.5.1, just apply v0.5.2 patch and if you patched the v0.5.1, it will be ok to apply v0.5.2 patch. All va.b.c patches have nothing to do with the Sense UI patch, which is absolutely independent. There are no intersections between patch v0.5.2 and Sense UI patch.

In other words, if you haven't flashed any ROMs before, only two steps is necessary to update to newest version. In addition, the Sense UI patch would be the third step. However, the base ROM(e.g. ROM v0.5) must be flashed at the first of all.

Those rules will also take effect in the future version of my ROM.

Hey guys, I don't really understand how to disable swap so could anyone help me with that?

Im 100% against it as i believe it is useless and that straight compcache alone is better.
[Click Android Development] cn.fyodor:
Sure, perflock can be disabled in the kernel. However, the way of CPU frequency scheduled by the kernel would be better than the one of using SetCPU, I think. And even if the perflock has been disabled, it is not a good idea to to overclock CPU, which will drain off your battery.

The patch v0.5.3 has disabled the backing_swap option of compcache, it uses straight compcache. :)
