[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanquen:
This by far one of the toughest phones I've had. I can't use the dock to sync as it only gives it power and local Bluetooth audio.

Ok, I tried connecting to the USB cable directly. Nope, I have tried many time to copy files to the SD card. I can mount it but it will only stay connected for a short time. It's seems as soon as any other application tries to read it the phone dismounts the SD card. I can tell it to mount again but then whatever program I'm using crashes because the SD card has disappeared in the middle of a file transfer. Anyway...

So, now I try Bluetooth to the PC. Nope, the PC and the Nexus One can see each other but if I try to pair from either the PC or the phone they fail to pair. The computer pairs with a keyboard, mouse, HTC Cruise (just did it for the first time and went like clockwork) and a Plantronics head set. The Nexus One has paired with the Plantronics head set. With the HTC Cruise it asks for a pass code on the phone and the PC but the Nexus just fails without asking for anything. I have also set it as discoverable.

:(

Help! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanquen:
Edit I disconnected and unpaired the Plantronics headset and then was able to pair with the PC. The android Bluetooth implementation seems to be a little buggy. I was then able to re-pair the Plantronics headset.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilentMobius:
The is no android desktop "sync" most of your phone data is kept in the cloud by default, so it's much less relevant. If you want to copy data to your sdcard, you install the usb driver, plug in your phone and select "Select to copy files to/from your computer" from the notification area.

However the current drivers seem unreliable in win7, we're not sure if win7 or the drivers are to blame.

As an aside if you install "ES File explorer" from the android marked you can access windows file shares via wifi.

There are _no_ bluetooth profiles for file transfer in default android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tanquen:
I still think there are a lot of people that like to sync MP3s and pictures to their phone with various apps. When data plans are free and way faster than they are now, maybe I'd say that the really fast free connection to my PC is less relevant.

What is the best way to sync MP3s from the PC? ES File Explorer?

Hello,

Does HTC HD MINI have a Digital Compass ???

Because on the htc site web there is no mention of this.

@++++
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] rigo007:
nah..it shoudn't have it.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Frank C:
Does not have a digital compass.....but an accelerometer yes
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] privategun69:
HD mini

Hello,

HTC hd mini does not have compass and not have led light ....

May be i will buy an HTC DESIRE.

@+++
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Chris1974:
What I read in specs is that the Mini DOES have a digital compass...:D
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] privategun69:
For Chris1974

Hello,

Sorry Htc hd mini doesn't have any Digital Compass, i call HTC customers and HTC confirm there is no Digitale Compass on HTC HD MINI.

Look at the offcial Web site on www.htc.com there is no mention of Digital Compass

@++++
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] ianjd:
Not in any official spec sheets.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Chris1974:
Hhhmmmmmzzz... That is strange...:confused:

On this site: http://www.pdashop.nl/product/91209/htc-hd-mini-uk.html which is usually pretty reliable it is mentioned that it does have a compass

In dutch:

Nooit de weg kwijt

Reist u regelmatig? Dan bent u vast weleens volledig de weg kwijtgeraakt. Dit ongemak leidt vaak tot onnodige vertragingen en een hoop frustratie. Met de HTC HD Mini neemt u al uw zorgen in 1 keer weg. Hij is namelijk standaard uitgerust met een AGPS-ontvanger. Hiermee hebt u in no-time een GPS-signaal, zodat u rustig naar de plaats van bestemming kunt reizen. En ook als u in een bos bent gedropt, hebt u geen enkele moeite om terug te komen. De HTC HD Mini heeft namelijk ook een ingebouwd kompas. (a built in compass)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] ianjd:
It's possible there originally was one planned; it wouldn't be the first time HTC took out a feature during development.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Frank C:
Could be that there is one in it but not activated yet......in some threads of other devices there pops up regularly a "hidden" feature......can be activated by changing registry.....perhaps one of the early owners can check...

The qualcomm chips for sure are able to handle this feature.....
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] o_schong:
No. There is no digital compass in HD mini.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Chris1974:
Officially the mini does not have a digital compass on board. But since so many websites mention that it does have one, it looks to me that it was originally intended to have one. :confused:

Would this be a case of a "hidden feature"??? Is it actually in the device but not turned on? :eek:

Would be nice if someone could search through the register to see if compass registry settings are there??? :D

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Android22:
Ok

I'm on that right now... hopefully will be done here shortly...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jamezelle:
it wont load!!!!!

i have already tried adding the htcmusic.apk/and .odex to the 0.7 it wont even boot

fix is not using 0.7 the deodexed apks makes it slower anyways, maybe the optimized pngs makes up for it though ;)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ramseyja:
you could install the music app from the nexus one, i saw it floating around one of the forums. it does work on ivans 7 rom. that would prolly be the easiest fix.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Android22:
Oh, I meant installing 5.4 and getting the data folders and apk....

You still need them?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jamezelle:
if you take system/app from 5.4 you might as well run 5.4 lol

that was like the only thing he messed with btwn 0.5.4 and 0.7
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Android22:
...Well ok

Sounds good, 5.4 was very stable for me, didn't notice any change in performance

Ok... now installing 5.4.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jamezelle:
i like 5.4 aswell its very stable

and thats what i will continue to base my roms off of until a newer leak comes :D
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] FireSokar:
Jam - The /data/data folder is whats needed as well, Took me all morning to get the taskmanager app I use running again. Its worked on several others that force closed. Im going to attempt to get it working w/ the deodexed files just need all of them to experiment.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jamezelle:
/data/data doesnt come with a rom it is created after booting a rom
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] FireSokar:
Right, but it doesnt properly create on some apps - its empty. Best example is to use wingtseng's task manager from the market, You will see what im talking about.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] FireSokar:
I stand corrected :)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
Hello, all,

I have recently taken an interest in developing Android 2.1 ROMs. So far, my work on 2.1 has been going well, except I cannot seem to get Android Market to install. I have tried re-signing the apk file, but the result is the same.

Can someone help me out on this? This has probably been answered before, but I cannot find anything truly relevant to this question. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RodrigoKim:
someone needs to close this thread before this flame war gets any bigger
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carz12:
Have you tried just pushing with adb? By development do you mean cooking or compiling your own?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hilaireg:
Please be respectful of others ...

I taken the time to cleanup this thread and move to Q&A where it should have been. If someone has an answer post a reply; plans to respond using trolling tactics are ill-advised.

If the thread goes OT again, a moderator will be forced to close it and likely remove it ... would be nice if it didn't have to come to that.

Regards,
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
I am building this directly from AOSP, from scratch. Thanks to the mod for cleaning up the flame war, by the way :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Oh, from AOSP. How are you adding them in? AOSP does NOT include the Google Apps by default, I'm not expert in ROM building but I am sure there are some .libs needed (I know GTalk requires some) and possibly need the other Google Apps as well.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
And this is why I love this place :D. What you said about libraries and what carz12 said about adb helped a lot.

Here is what I knew:

AOSP does not include the Google Apps, including the market. The market is somewhat difficult to install to an aosp build, and I think needs to be resigned with another RSA key.

What the forum helped me figure out:

The advice about trying the adb shell gave me some help. When I tried to push the market app to the phone, I got this:

This tells me that I am missing some libraries. But I'm also missing some other stuff. I'll recompile from source, install the libraries, and report back after I flash this to the phone. Until then, if anyone thinks any of my conclusions are wrong, please tell me so I don't waste my time, or yours.

EDIT: For all of you who are currently viewing this thread, how many of you would like a very fast (possibly faster than OpenEclair), stable, no-frills Android 2.1 ROM? I would like your opinions, because this will give me a good idea of how many people would be interested in this kind of thing.

Tekgek
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
It's good to know that you are missing libraries :D

Your best bet is to compile your rom, and then compare it to a rom that already has the google apps included (WesGarner build, CSDI, etc...) and see what libs are missing from yours, add them in and then try again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
I was having the same problem too. I am gonna try this too.

And ya besides the libraries, the aosp build doesn't include some of the framework files and permission files too, like the framework files relating to gtalk and google maps should be added as well to the system/framework folder and the permission files in system/etc/permissions relating to gtalk and maps should be added as well.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
I tried with all the missing libraries but with no luck...there must be some other files tooo. Gonna continue on Thursday.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
Did you try resigning the apk file?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
Not really. I am gonna try that too. Got coll tomorrow so may be later tomorrow. By the way did you got the video working?? I tried pushing some libraries from supereclair. But not workin till date. it works in his build though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
College is more important than android, imho. whenever you get the chance :D.

I hope to get video working in the future, but not right now. My primary computer (the core i7 rig I use for all my computer work) needed an OS reinstall, so I have made no progress since my post on ADB. My fist priority is to get the basics working, then I'll work on the other issues, like video playback and the camera. However, as of right now, I am re-downloading the source, and hopefully building it in the very near future, expect an update tomorrow, and maybe even a finished product (keep in mind that this is ALPHA, so don't expect anything wonderful).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
Alright, I got it... mostly. The market appears installed, now all I need to do is make it not crash. Whenever I select the market app, I get a white screen, and then the home screen. I'm also getting a force close on the gapps process. What am I doing wrong :confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
How did you got market show up???

The gapps framework file is also missin in the /system/framework folder in AOSP build.

Did you tried pushing the missing file?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
I downloaded openeclair, pulled all the apps that had the word google in them, resigned the the market with another key, integrated them into a rom package, flashed, and voila, the market appears. I also added in a couple framework files, but I think I'm still missing something. Do you know what the name of the file is? I'm not sure what or where it is.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
ya its com.google.android.gtalkservice.jar
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
okay, added it in, still getting a force close on the gapps. Where to go now???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
As i mentioned earlier there are some files missing in system/etc/permissions. Did u tried pushing those files.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
All permission files are in place, all gapps are resigned. The framework is in place. The setup wizard i also resigned, which now crashes. If anyone has any suggestions please post them. I am at my wit's end here.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:
Did you only sign setup wizard? If I remember correctly, all of the Google apps must have the same signature.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
probably a really stupid question, but which ones are the gapps? I just resigned every apk in the app director that had google or referenced google in the name. Or is that not enough?

Oh, this might help, I'm not using the same keys as the framework. I generated my own key.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peshal:
If you go to /mydroid/out/target/product/dream-open

where your compiled images reside, you wiill find a file called installed-files.txt

All the apk listed there are part of your aosp build but any other apk not listed there should be the gapps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekgek:
Okay, everything is copied, and the gapps are still force closing whenever the setup wizard launches. Anyone wanna get a little advice from cyanogen on this? One more thing I forgot to mention: this is an eclair rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] madpoet:
I have an old 8525 that I want to bring back to life... tired of the iPhone. It has Mobile 5 on it. Haven't used it in... oh, close to 2 years. Still powers up fine and all so I decided to try upgrading. I used Hard-SPL first and it errored out after the tricolor screen came up, saying it couldn't find the phone. So I popped the battery and went back in, and tried Auto Unlock v3a. Script failed, as did the manual method of copying up. Every time I get to the tricolor screen and it displayes HERM100 IPL-SSPL by Des and HERM100 SPL-1.09.ds. If I leave USB plugged in it says USB, otherwise it says serial. I do NOT have a SIM card in it right now. Am I missing something? It seems like I should have an option on the phone to do the upgrade, but I just have the colors :) I'd really like to get up to 6.5!

Thanks,

What is the deal with the N1 youtube video??..or video in general. It is complete crap. My wife got the HD2 a few days ago and we pulled up the same youtube videos and I was shocked. My video on the n1 was choppy pixelated and in some cases it didn't even use the entire screen.

What is going on? I don't watch a ton of youtube videos on my phone but thought it was just the videos that were uploaded.

I paid $574 for this phone and I cant watch a decent mp4 video. Am I missing something. I currently have the M Desire ROM but had CM and and Stock for video was terrible.

Any thoughts peeps?? That said I love my n1 but feel like I have been sold short.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Did you play the video on HQ? Not sure if you're aware, but you have the option to do so when you're on YouTube. :-) let me know the outcome. I love the video quality on my N1.
[Nexus One General] wesbalmer:
Hold on. I am quite certain that you're doing something wrong. When connecting to youtube, are you using WiFi? Are you choosing to watch the Video in High Qaulity? When playing movies onto your phone, what format are you using? I don't know if there is a native format that works, but I paid the 1.99 for ACT1, which plays all my files very well. I am certain that the 'video quality' is much more intense on the N1 due to the AMOLED screen, how can you even compare to a TFT? Are you watching a movie while walking down the street on a sunny day?
[Nexus One General] Jack Everyman:
Are you sure you are watching the high quality version of the video? I believe the N1 defaults to the low quality videos on the youtube app. The high quality ones on my N1 looks great imo.
[Nexus One General] JAW$:
I am running stock on my N1. When I play youtube via Wifi it plays in high quality. When I do the same but with 3G it is very awful.

I have not seen any options when on 3G to play in high quality.

Can you help!
[Nexus One General] rori~:
I am sure, he does not watch it in HQ :)
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
:-) when you're on wifi it automatically plays it on HQ, but if you're on 3G you have to hit the menu button and choose to play it on HQ. It'll take a bit to load.
[Nexus One General] oklahomatulsa:
Lol..Thank you my fellow N1 brothers and sisters. that was the problem. It defaults to low quality. I feel dumb.:p Thanks a lot. Problem solved.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Glad we helped you out... Now kiss your N1 and beg for forgiveness for thinking it doesn't compare to the HD2.!!!! Hahahaha.

I think they moved the thread or are moving the thread for you.

Just a heads up, if you're trying to flash, the first time i tried to flash recovery via fastboot it didn't go through. I had to flash it 4 times for it to finally go through. You might also want to try a different version if there's 2. i think Amon Ra's got 2 different types. (Regular and Cyan, try both). If you're trying an older version, try the carebear one.

Hope this helps.
