[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] amateuruser:
Right now I am using a basic Nokia 6030. If I buy an HTC Tilt 8925 off of eBay, do I have to buy the data plan from AT&T even if it is unlocked?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
How does have anything to do with Touch Pro 2 ROM development?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] amateuruser:
I have no idea, sorry!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Thread moved. :)

To answer your question, from what I've read and heard, yes. However, if you have an unlocked device (non-AT&T branded phone) then you won't.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] amateuruser:
Would there be any chance I could know how I can unlock the 8925?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Even if you unlock the Tilt 2, it's still an AT&T branded phone. They'd recognize your IMEI number as such and force the data plan on you. The only way around this would be to either import an unlocked TP2, or use an unlocked TP2 from another US carrier. An important issue you'd have with an unlocked US TP2 is that it wouldn't be compatible with AT&T's 3g data band, so your data speeds would be stuck on EDGE.

EDIT: I should also mention that in your particular situation (since you don't want data on the phone), using an unlocked TP2 from the US would be ideal. The reason being is that it will be much cheaper than importing an unlocked phone from overseas. I suppose my initial explanation was more geared to try and clarify the general subject.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wpbear:
If using any TP2 it would most likely be recognised by ATT and be charged the data plan. See Hofo Nexus One thread for more details. Also some may not work on ATT 3G, for example TMO TP2 will not work with ATT 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Toleraen:
If it's got the 8925 branding that's specifically the AT&T version. Still not the TP2/Tilt2 though is it? Thought 8925 was the Kaiser.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] petard:
The 8925 is the unofficial name of the original Tilt (Kaiser). The only place it is used is under the battery cover. It isn't called 8925 in any manuals or other official texts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wpbear:
The bottom line is if ATT sells it and even if you buy a EUR version then ATT will probably still recognize the phone. They are getting smarter.

I have a code on one of my lines exempting me from the mandatory data plan since I had an HTC on that line before the rule came out, but my wife's line got dinged for this about a month ago, since then I changed to a dumb phone for her and removed the data. If I was to loose my exemption I would go to TMO.

OP, you want to post to the forum below, not the Tilt2 forum:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
I currently have a Tilt 2 (from Ebay), prior it was a Kaiser (Tilt from AT&T), and before that a Blue Angel (Siemens SX66 from AT&T).

I was forced to get the PDA data plan when I got my Kaiser from them. I later told them it suffered an untimely death, switched to a flip phone, and changed the internet over to the smaller package. I put my sim back into my Kaiser and internet is working fine, I am still being charged the smaller package, and my phone comes up as the Blue Angel when I log into their web. LOL!

The only way around NOT getting the PDA plan is to NOT get the PDA from them (they've made it now mandatory). I've noticed that now they also made it mandatory to get the smaller internet/messaging package, if you get a phone from them that has a keyboard (either virtual or hard), regardless of whether you even want it. Not really the best incentive to get someone to commit to your plan or buy a device from them, is it? I'm thinking when my contract expires that I'll simply upgrade my phones on my own and keep paying the same for my service WITHOUT committing to another 2-year contract. :rolleyes:

Getting a free or reduced price phone is just not worth spending that exorbitant amount on internet for 2 years. :p

Debbie
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wpbear:
Yes, but that is not a guarantee anymore. ATT has on few and increasingly occasions been able to tell if you are using a non-branded HTC or the ATT version. You may also a grandfather clause on your line (ATT lists that as "Smartphone exclusion" under the included feature section of OLAM and my line has this as well. They will and by experience send a SMS and automatically change your data plan higher if they catch you with a PDA. If I knew an insider at ATT I would try to get the "Smartphone exclusion" on all my lines but unless you have connections......SOL. But at least my Tilt 2 is on the $10/unlim plan :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
Yeah, I may be grandfathered, since I've been with them so long, and I changed over to the $15 unlimited plan about 1.5 years ago. :D Now, things may simply not be that... well, simple. ;)

Which is why I think I'm not going to go through the process of re-committing for another contract when this one is up (and continue to pay month by month), so they don't "catch" me down the road. ;)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stisinai:
I have my new TP2 and have read for the last 4 days straight and am ready to try my first ROM upgrade. To be on the safe side, I wanted to make sure I could get back to my original, but I don't see it anywhere on HTC's website. Is there somewhere else I should be looking or is there a way to fully backup the ROM on my phone before starting?

Thanks in advance!!

i cant here hear my alarm sound from my mobile.

Is there any way so that i can hear it from my speakers?

I can't hear alarm sound but i can hear audio songs when i connect my hero to my speakers via 3.5mm jack.
[Imagio General] conocelo:
when i make a call from my contacts the telephone ads a + plus sign. how i can disable it?

if i dial a number and send. the + is not added.

i have tried disabling assited dial. but i still get the +

i use the imagio only on GSM
[Imagio General] Umpiire:
What's the plus?

The plus "+" is used to distinguish the country code of the phone number. Most in the US don't normally think about it. This is especially true since the country code for the US is "1" and the "1" is what you used to add from your land line to make a long distance call.

Don't sweat the addition and in fact get used to it. On your mobile phone you should always include the full phone number (including area code) for all your contacts and calls. You don't have the same concept of "long distance" calls on your mobile phone. Where you

are

is your calling location and this obviously varies.

For your contacts, get used to seeing the addition of the +1 for US phones. When making calls you can include it or not if you are in the US and calling someone in the US. In the US you should always use 10 digit numbers when you dial.

So in the US you don't need to use "1" to prefix a number to call "long distance" but you do need to use "+1" to call a US number if you are in a different country when you make the call.

(Someone is bound to point out that Canada also uses +1. I didn't include that above but you could substitute "USA and Canada" where I used "US")
[Imagio General] d0berm4n:
How to disable this function, can anybody say? It do not let to make call in my country to contacts, just call if typing number manualy 8700... etc.
[Imagio General] bawaji:
use a registry editor and set HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\PlusCodeDialing\PlusCodeEnable to 0.
[Imagio General] d0berm4n:
2bawaji Thanks for help.

Another problem appear: when I change registry key vaue and restart phone it restart himself after verizon logo. I fix it by hard reset, but what i do wrong?

Mat be needs some other changes in registry?
[Imagio General] bawaji:
Was it set to 1 before you changed it to 0? I notice that in the post above, the key is listed as "Plu sCodeEnable" and not "PlusCodeEnable" that I originally typed. There should be no space between the u and the s.

I regularly change the above key from 1 to 0 and back when I travel. I have not had the restart happen. I am using Energy ROM which does not have Assisted Dialing. You may want to try this with Assisted Dialing turned off and see if that makes a difference. Can't think of anything else.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McFroger3:
So I enabled JIT on my friends mytouch3g and wanted to mess around with it on my N1. So do any of the current roms now support it? Or am I going to have to hunt down CM beta3?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shograt:
Basically, yes. Though: since you found out that it exists in that version of cmod, I'm guessing you also saw the threads / info by cy / etc that it was hopelessly unstable? Faster than heck, but ridiculously unstable. Not sure why you'd want to bother?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjhay22:

[Hero CDMA General] cbwhat:
I have the rom from damage which is 2.1.

I am really looking for a rom with 2.1 which has

live wallpapers

flash 10(if available)

not buggy and most functions work.

what should i install.

basically what is the best rom out there so far?
[Hero CDMA General] linkinx64:
Wait a little bit ... IMO
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
You really cant decide for yourself? choose whatever one suites your needs...
[Hero CDMA General] Vrekk:
If you don't need the camera, darchstar's rom is one of the best out there.
[Hero CDMA General] Jedis:
Supposedly, we'll have the official one in a couple weeks. Holding out myself...
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
test the ones out there and find which suits you most. The most functional one right now is damageless' rom. the rom that best fits you isn't necessarily the rom that fits someone else.
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
If you are on the fence then wait.

2.1 is almost fully functional so now the game can begin with tweaking and customizing. This means that you will be seeing many updates to the main ROMs in the next week... and maybe even some new ROMs.

Then to top it all off there is a rumor that the offical 2.1 upgrade is coming out in 2 weeks. That will change the game yet again.

So at least wait a couple days till things settle a little bit.
[General Questions and Answers] xvblack:
As the title.
[General Questions and Answers] rickyzone:
Now I may be wrong on this, however I believe the hero has a capacitive touch screen. Currently, the only device that I am aware of that is running windows mobile with a capacitive touch screen is the hd2, and htc had to home brew some special drivers for that. If i'm correct so far, then probably not going to happen on the hero unless someone can write those drivers for the hero. This is all my guess though.

Engadget got to see some new games

Battle Punks, a less impressive one-on-one sword fighting Facebook game by Gravity Bear that’s being ported over to windows phone 7.

[General Topics] Monty Burns:
tbh, some of the games coming out for the newer generation of snapdragon WM6.5 phones are good!

Take a look at Sony Erricsons Xtract and the Electopia Demo .... both are billions of miles ahead of anything else I have seen. (If you google Extract, you might even get lucky ;) )
[General Topics] Shasarak:
Xtrakt runs quite happily on an MSM72xx processor (e.g. Touch Pro2, Touch Diamond2, Sony Xperia X1/X2). Electopia is the only game I'm aware of specifically aimed at Snapdragon hardware (and even that's still only a demo :( ).
[General Topics] Monty Burns:
Xtract is great fun for a bit of a blast and i'm impressed that will run on non-snap phones. Should be a must have for all! :D

This mod take a couple of minutes to complete and allows for PEAP wifi connections. Requires root access and ADB knowledge.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ISSUES YOU CREATE WITH THIS. IT IS A ROUGH GUIDE AND WORKS FOR ME. DO AT OWN RISK.

Tutorial For Adding LEAP/PEAP Wifi

1. Open Command prompt window in Windows.

2. Go to your directory that you have Android SDK in.

3. Change directory to Tools. So for eg. C:\Android\Tools

4. Type in adb devices. You should see your device. If not install ADB driver. Google it.

5. Type in adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant .conf c:\wpa_supplicant.conf

6. This stores wpa_supplicant.conf on your C: drive.

7. Open file with wordpad.

8. Add the following to the files:

for PEAP add this code:

network={

ssid="Your SSID"

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP

identity="Your Username"

password="Your Password"

}

for LEAP use this:

network={

ssid="Your SSID"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=IEEE8021X

auth_alg=OPEN SHARED LEAP

eap=LEAP

identity="Your Identity"

password="Your Password"

}

9. Save the file.

10. Type push c:\wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant .conf

11. Now the important part. If you miss this your wifi will not work after reboot.

12. Type adb shell

13. Should get # prompt.

14. Type su.

15. Type cd /data/misc/wifi

16. Type chown 1010 wpa*

17. Type chgrp 1010 wpa*

18. Close command prompt window and enjoy LEAP/PEAP wifi.

Thanks for the help clarifying that for peoples.... its finally great to be able to use the WiFi at school... would be nice to implement it automatically, I can't write the code.... but if anyone would like too it would really add to the community....
[Nexus One Android Development] alextripp:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but i know when i try to use LEAP at school, it already has options and what not for it on my phone, none of this is necessary for me
[Nexus One Android Development] EMERYfan1988:
I know with my school which is (PEAP) you couldn't input a username just a password! so if you are having troubles connecting to a LEAP or PEAP connection this is a way to workaround and get it working. If you can already connect don't worry about it! this is for those who cant connect and get crappy data in class! haha

Does this work with MS-CHAP ? How do I define it?

MS-CHAP already works out of the box. At least I can connect at work with PEAP, MS-CHAPv2. Could be a CM 5 thing though.
[Nexus One Android Development] scote:
Thanks for posting this! while it did not directly solve my problem, it made me redouble my efforts to get on my company's wlan with my N1. I have tried this many times over the years with various phones including UIQ3, WM6 and never got anywhere. I always assumed that there was some sort of certificate or windows domain stuff going on.

So this morning I did a wireshark trace and put my laptops drivers into debug logging to find out how my laptop connects.

A bit of googling for the stuff I found enabled me to get a working supplicant.conf on the third attempt and I am amazed!

Appear to be using WPA2 Enterprise with EAPOL LEAP with CCMP encryption on Cisco access points.

Here is the network part of my wpa_supplicant.conf in case it helps anyone:

network={

ssid="SSID"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X

auth_alg=SHARED LEAP

group=CCMP

eap=LEAP

identity="DOMAIN\User"

password="Password"

}
[Nexus One Android Development] rm9:
Doesn't work for me on stock rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] zitseng:
What works for PEAP with MSCHAPv2 in my school is:

network={

ssid="<ssid>"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=IEEE8021X

eap=PEAP

phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

priority=2

}

"chgrp: not found"

what is it mean?

Is there anything I may have done wrong?

[Nexus One Android Development] DeeToTheVee:
Doesn't work for me for some reason. Do you think having CM6 RC3 would make a difference? Not that I could see it doing so.

I've tried a few of the above suggestions but none work for me :(

The worst thing is it worked fine before I updated my Nexus One to FroYo!

my current settings for the uni are:

network={

ssid="UoN-secure"

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X

eap=PEAP

identity="username"

password="password"

phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"

}

Any help would be appreciated

The problem I am having is that it will not keep the Phase 2 auth - MSCHAPV2 setting when I set it up. Every time I go back into the ssid settings (modify network) it has reverted back to "none". However the information above was pulled from the phone so it obviously is storing the MSCHAPV2 setting, just doesn't seem to be using it!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] krazybuffy:
Well im new to this forum, more a user of "howardforums" but since ive been using android i have found this the proper place to be. Before i begin id just like to say thank you all for the great information posted here, been a great help so far and has made my experience using android all that much better.

I've gone through loads of information regarding the battery life and the overall speed of the HTC magic and have come up with a few opinions of my own. Mind you these are just my opinions or findings rather from owning the device and using it. Nothing here is a scientific fact.

Some things you should know before hand.

1. Im currently running the latest version of the MYHero rom for my 32A

2. I have tested all the soon to mentioned things on "Cyanogens" latest rom as well.

I read so many times before hand that having a Task killer on the phone was essential to the experience and all that. Now no disrespect to anyone using one or that thinks its important but i wish i would have never even downloaded one. I read a post online saying that everything would run much faster and battery life would be better if we didnt use one so i gave it a go.

And what do you know.. so far its been 2 weeks and i have no task killers installed and the performance has been GREAT! I really couldn't believe it and felt really stupid for a moment :) Trust me, if your phone is slow or laggy or the battery is depleting faster than normal i believe that that is mostly related to a bad application that you downloaded. As some apps poll data for no reason in the background. I only have the essentials installed that i use on a daily basis.

Battery : I now am getting pretty reasonable battery life out of the HTC Magic. Maybe 22 hours running with some heavy use.

I have the brightness at 50 %. Network on 2g and i turn off the mobile data when i dont need my emails pushed to me through Gmail. I also make about 2 hours worth of phone calls and send off 30-40 texts. As well as Gtalking for about an hour. Light web surfing depending on what i need to know.

My advice after trying everything would be to keep email on push if thats what you want ofcourse and just set everything else like facebook etc to poll less frequently. I dont know about you but 22 hours of battery life on a smart phone is pretty reasonable in my book. At least with whats out there. The only phone i know of that has a better battery is the Blackberry which i own for work but i hate it :)

Well that is the end of my first post here and i hope that it helps anyone out there.

Cheers.. Feel free to leave comments or ask anything.

Hey,

My missus just bought a HTC Hero from feabay and it doesn't have android market on it!

I've been trolling the threads on here and I gather the only way to get it on there is to root the phone and flash a new ROM onto it.

Now, I'm really not very confident in attempting this so I just want to clarify what I am planning on doing is correct.

First, I need to root the phone using the tutorial on Unlockr:

How To: Root Your HTC Hero in One Click! (Updated 03.07.10!)

Then, I need to Load a custom ROM using the tutorial on Unlockr:

How To: Load a Custom ROM on Your HTC

Is that all I need to do?

Also, where can I download a good ROM to use?

I know that this has probably been covered but I've noticed the process changes depending which phone firmware is already installed.

I checked my gf's phone and this is what is said:

HERO CVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)

MICROP-010f

TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104

RADIO-6.35.07.08

Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30

Once again, sorry for asking a stupid question that everyone probably knows the answer to, but I really don't want to screw up her phone.

Any advice, opinion or links would be greatly appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] p13:
Hi again Poorboy,

Please stop taunting people and making smartass remarks, try to be helpful instead.

Try flashing one of the RUU images if you want the stock rom, sounds like someone flashed an AOSP rom on it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jesterarts:
I see,

I downloaded one of the RUU Image .exe files for the unbranded Hero (i'm assuming mine is unbranded... well... since there is no branding on it :p)

So all I have to do is install sync, run the RUU .exe and I'll be sweet??

Cool, I will give that a bash when I get home.

Thanks for that info, should save me ALOT of screwing about if it works!

PS, Poorboy1 you are a douche. That is all. :D

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Jesterarts:
