Great work, Jimmy. Tested, and everything looks functional.

Adding user works.

Removing user works.

Authentication works - also tested with non-default user.

Things left:

Auto-detect local network interface on start / on install.

Prevent slowdown in sleep mode.

Thanks a lot for making it work!
[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
Damn, just got home and tested on my system. I guess it was too fast to declare it's fully functional.

Jimmy, I suppose you're testing it on Windows XP? Because it definitely works on XP, as I wrote earlier. But the problem is that once I start using Windows 7, the authentication mechanism changes somehow (my guess, it also could be the protocol - I didn't save the logs so I didn't note the difference, and I don't have XP at home) - and I can't login anymore. I've logged the server output and it looks like no matter what username is provided - Win7 uses its current logged in user to connect to the sharing device (user-level login to the system before logging in to the share itself - this is how Samba is configured), which ultimately results in login failure.

I'll record a successful XP log and an unsuccessful Win7 log tomorrow and post them, but I'm not sure that something can be deduced from them, since they just show different passwords (and Win7 log also shows server exiting when trying to log in with correct user/password, something that doesn't happen on XP - but at least this time it's graceful logged exit, thanks to your fix).

I suggest you test logging in from Vista or Win7 machine with a username that isn't the logged in Windows user.
[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Thanks for your testing and feedback, Jack!

I'm testing with Vista and XP - no Win7 yet.

A couple of things to double check:

- If the phone has been in sleep mode for an extended period, or wifi switched off, then on again, and if a "samba-rc restart" has not been done, strange auth problems will happen. (This shouldnt be a problem if using the dhcp hook script to auto-restart samba).

- Cached session credentials on the client or server can also play havoc with authentication - check "net use" in a cmd shell on your Win client to see if there is cached session info for the phone, and if there is, do a "net use /delete \\phoneIP\IPC$" to delete it. (On the server side, cached information is deleted each time the samba is started).

Manually running "/data/local/samba/bin/samba-rc restart" in adb or ssh root shell on your phone (when not in sleep mode) should fix the above two issues on the server side.

Otherwise take a look at

http://www.builderau.com.au/blogs/codemonkeybusiness/viewblogpost.htm?p=339270746

And see what your 'LAN Manager authentication level' defaults to. On my Vista system, its already set to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated". I dont remember changing this, I think it was the default on my Vista install - maybe i did change it, up late and half asleep one night :confused: .

Anyway, samba2 doesnt support NTLMv2 authentication but i think the workaround in the above URL will address this - if its the problem.. (I'm already working on porting a version of Samba3 that has NTLMv2 auth, but the code is significantly different that i cand just edit the same files and change the same blocks of code :( ).

I dropped the slippery little sucker into the bathtub last night... took it out, popped the battery out, dropped everything into a gallon ziplock baggie full of rice.

fired it up this morning, it initially went into the bootloader for some reason, i rebooted and it came up fine! everything works!

bag of rice, it just WORKS!
[Nexus One General] pzumk:
Congratulations.
[Nexus One General] x986123:
Why the hell were you using it in your bathtub? I'd never put my phone near large amounts of water like that! :eek:

Nice big screen, soapy bubbles... Light some candles, you could have a good night if you know what I mean ;)
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
haha... in my defense, i had just returned from an out of town business trip, and on my way thru the airport to the car, i turned my ankle, so i was filling the jacuzzi tub to soak my ankle, had the phone in my hand as i leaned over to turn off the water.. wasn't exactly thinking clearly.

[Nexus One General] jerhoyet:
These phones are notorious for not surviving "swims", but lately I've been hearing otherwise. For instance:

A buddy of mine has a MT3G and while leaning into the backseat to do something for his son, his phone slipped off of his lap and into his girlfriend's large sweet tea from McD's. He didn't even notice, for several minutes, until he took a sip from said tea.

His phone was floating in tea for minutes, and the only thing wrong with it is the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore. That's it.

Why not add some food? Bring a toaster into the tub with you and you could also have some hot waffles with your wine.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
I need try this!!! LOL OH WELL GOOD TO KNOW..i can now safely bring my phone along when I goto a wet t-shirt party:D
[Nexus One General] trizyman:
Why did u use the bag of rice. I thought rice only absorbed boiling water or am I missing something.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
It will absorb water at any temperature, just a lot slower than if it were hot.
[Nexus One General] Red MacGregor:
for the same reason your grandmother put rice in the salt shaker and the sugar bowl. it absorbs the excess moisture.

silica desiccant would work better, but who has a big bag of that lying around?

Hi guys,

is there anyone who know how to switch quick between GSM and UMTS?

Need that cause of saving battery power in standby.

Thnx in forward.
[HD2 General] chri55tof:
You can find such an option in Comm Manager in some custom ROMs. Look at HD2 ROM Development section looking for ROM which suits your needs best.

Kris
[HD2 General] siroques:
Thnx for your answer.

But is it possible to do that without flashing a new rom? :rolleyes:

[Desire General] ronnyuk:
OMG, my iphone is seriously going in the bin, this is a different breed of phone in every way, I have just done a 10 min video of A2DP working perfect in my car, the iphone only has partial A2DP so you can't change tracks, pause or adjust volume on the stereo itself this to me was a killer :(

The Desire just pairs and go's, it's smooth with multiple applications open and scrolling is exactly the same as the iphone, I love the bookmarks page so I can see the website i am visiting like suggested sites in IE8, the music player is as good as my Iphone and my iphone holder in the car even fits the desire nicely so I can watch woops i mean my passengers can watch videos while driving or parked up.

So far i have had little exposure but the experience is very iphoney and this is a good thing as the iphone is smooth as silk and so is this, I will post the video up here in 5 mins, its 600mb so need to compress it and whack it on youtube :)

Happy days!

[Desire General] jpxdude:
Hey there,

Looking forward to the video! Just wanted to say I've been my Desire for a few hours now and it has been growing on me. I think I have it customized the way I like but that will probably change by tomorrow. I'm still getting used to the keyboard but it is very responsive, what really wins it for me is the web performance especially on WiFi.

I'm typing this right now on the desire and it just seems to scream through everything. Will post more impressions soon.:)
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Yeah screams through everything is an understatement, I only had an iphone 3g but loading up all the pictures on this site used to take approx1 min, now it's instant.

I find the keyboard slightly smaller than the iphones so the keys are narrower, think my fingers are a bit too chubby and need to get used to a new keyboard haha.. :)
[Desire General] nilecoma:
HEy lucky guys, videos and pics are welcome here !

Cause in France (and other Eur countries) we'll have to wait for 1 week at least to touch our Desire.

So Enjoy but ... think about us and show us your new toy ;)

Many Thanks from France !
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Im trying but youtube is being crap, I am uploading a 86mb vid which seems to be taking forever, i have also taken a small video from the phone itself and thats waiting to be uploaded, picture quality is very nice but I notice a slight blur at the top of videos, will maybe make another to check it out :P
[Desire General] TEAM17:
Yes indeed :rolleyes:
[Desire General] cez10:
ronny do u use ur desire to play the music in ur cars speakers? or i got something wrong ?
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
Yes, so my whole music collection is streamed over bluetooth to the stereo, this is called A2DP and something the iphone could not do properly, even my old N95 was fine but you cannot change tracks on the unit itself when using the iphone.
[Desire General] cez10:
oh man, could you tell me if it works with any car radios ? i got one built into my vauxhall astra 01' and wanted to know if its possible to do such thing there?
[Desire General] agent.m:
if you got vista or windows 7 download windows movie maker as it has a setting for youtube. just load the video and click on the youtube icon. type in discription and it does the rest in about 20 (that decoding etc and uploading)
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
No you need a car stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, they are fairly cheap £150 for the Blaupunkt one in my Audi
[Desire General] nilecoma:
Thanks for this 1st video Roony. Is this MJ clip a native DivX or a re-encoded one ? It seems very flawless ...

(btw the 2nd video is "off" on youtube)
[Desire General] cez10:
oh right, that kinda sux cuz im not planning to keep this car for very long. ive heard something about fm transmitters but i suppose u dont know much about it ?
[Desire General] irkan:
btw does this bluetooth feature relate to the phone only or the car also? because i have built-in bluetooth kit﻿ on my kompressor, will it work?
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
+1 for the MJ video :D

Quick question...were you streaming off of WiFi?
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
To answer your questions, some new cars have the ability to A2DP stream bluetooth music, I am not sure about specifics, the MJ video was a youtube vid streamed over wifi I was parked on my drive so still have perfect wifi signal there :)

The music is the default tunes that come on the phone, they give you 7 or 8
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Thanks. Man I can't wait to get mine :(
[Desire General] salahag:
I am also concerned about bluetooth functionality with my built in set in the car.

I have a Hero now, and I can only make calls, no music streaming on stock 1.5 nor the legend 2.1 ROM. But I was able to stream music through my laptop and it was flawless.

On the other hand, when I had the Nokia e71 I was able to hear the phone's ringtone through the car speakers - but never tried streaming then. But with the Hero (and previously Tytn II) I only hear the annoying default car ring tone, so is this related to the ability to stream?

on HTC website they have the following specifications for bluetooth in the Desire:

Bluetooth® 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate

A2DP for wireless stereo headsets

FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer

Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HSP, PBAP, SPP, Service Discovery Application Profile

while the e71 has this:

Bluetooth profiles: DUN, OPP, FTP, HFP, GOEP, HSP, BIP, RSAP, GAVDP, AVRCP, A2DP

anyone familiar with these bluetooth profiles and can figure it out? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Mister-C:
To the OP - the youtube video looks great, can you let me know where you got the car holder and its model name?

Regarding bluetooth, my car has only a basic factory installed car stereo but am wondering if a A2DP bluetooth interface like the one here would enable me to achieve the same results without me having to buy a new stereo. Is this feasible or is there a cheaper alternative?
[Desire General] ronnyuk:
117 quid for that adapter is a bit steep a decent stereo is about 150 but it depends what your own one is like, I will post up

the type of holder I got in a sec once I find it, I got.it off eBay
[Desire General] PaulW21781:
I'll need to figure out how to enable BT-DUN (tethering over bluetooth) on the Desire when I get mine, as I need it for my TomTom navigator on my bike! At the mo, I have my Xpera X1 with a little hack to enable BTDUN on that, and it works ok, but the X1 is, well, tatty and pants as I've had it a year now!!

Think I read somewhere how to enable it in the kernel, but I guess it will take a time for it to come through...

*edit*

There is this...

http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php

But not sure how well it would perform... but hey, if it works and its simple to setup and use, then I'm happy!

*edit 2*

Apparently PDANET doesn't fully support DUN, so it wont work on my tomtom :(
[Desire General] incaaa:
Salahag, my Hero with stock 1.5 streamed music very nicely to my car. And with much better quality, than 3G. It has some sequencing issues tho.

So the problem must be in your unit.
[Desire General] salahag:
Yes this is what I figured. It must be one of the profiles I mentioned before is missing in the radio bluetooth system. That's something I have to live with.

But out of the profiles in the e71, which could be the one responsible for pushing the ringtone of the phone through the radio when the phone rings? I'm asking just to know if the Desire has that profile too.

You have no idea how annoying the default car ringtone is! :mad:
[Desire General] incaaa:
Desire has exactly the same profiles as Hero. Hopefully better executed and integrated.
[Desire General] adam.mt:
In theory that adaptor should work; however, you should opt for just the base unit and don't bother with the optional bluetooth (unless you really need it wireless). You could connect the phone up with either a USB cable or using the headphone jack; and that would extend battery life on the Desire.
[Desire General] VistaX:
Those of you who have this phone, what do you think about the batterylife?
[Desire General] zomig:
So far not impressed with battery life, got this yesterday and had a full charge, the phone only lasted half a day before needing a recharge. I was using it a lot to set it up and download apps etc, I did notice the back getting quite warm which i had not seen on other phones.

With regards to speed, I had a HD2 before this and this had a custom rom installed, this phone is no quicker than what my Hd2 was. This could be because of the custom rom as the stock rom was very slow and this would walk all over that.

There are some nice features to it but at present these are out waying my return to the HD2 (still got it just in case i cant get on with this one). For instance i have installed swype and selected this as the default keyboard. this then stops pinch to zoom working. MMS messages are coming in very tiny although this is related to o2 again and them being way behind as usual. Sat Nav software is also very limited on this at present again this will probably change as time goes by. All things to consider though in the short term.

Time will tell and as stated before it is very early days.
[Desire General] MoxFulder_CH:
what about the FM radio ? Can you store the channels "like a bookmark" ?
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Argh! I want my phone already :(

[neoTouch S200 General] Qazer:
Since yesterday I have problem with display on my Acer neoTouch :(. When I turn on or wake up Acer with power button, on display show stripes:

When the device sleep, the display is clear - without stripes.

When I connect my neoTouch to charger, red LED lights up. When I connect neotouch to usb to PC, on PC I see connect memory card which is in neoTouch. When someone sends me a SMS, blue LED lights up and I hear the sound of new message. Vibration and sound works.

What's the problem? What can I do?
[neoTouch S200 General] geodimis:
Same problem here, I tried reset/ hard reset and reflash with official acer's rom but nothing happened. I own the device less than 2 months!!
[neoTouch S200 General] Qazer:
Yes, I too own the device less than 2 months.
[neoTouch S200 General] riotman:
this looks like a broken screen. may have happend due to moisture, a fall or maybe too much pressure on the screen...

Should be a warranty case....

This happens from time to time... had exactly the same issue with my old omnia i900
[neoTouch S200 General] Wolkenkratzer:
I'm agree to this: looks like the LCD screen connectors on plate has been damaged by condenced water or extensive pressure. BUT it can be that connectors only have bad contact with plate and you can fix that problem by cleaning display-plate contact surface or assure that contact is possible. I don't motivate you to do this, BETTER to go in service (and save your warranty).

sry if my english is bad in some cases
[neoTouch S200 General] -JAZZMAN-:
As for the display,it looks similar to the cracked LCD on my old PC.

Nothing but colored lines.

As for the other issues:

1.blue light - message

2. red light when connected - charging

3. connected usb - should see 2 choices -

a)O Activesync

or

b)O memory card for media,photo's,music etc..

Hope you find a solution for your screen though!!!!
[neoTouch S200 General] Qazer:
My neoTouch is in service. I will have to pay 2500 CZK (= cca 99 EUR) for a replacement display. Before the damage I only have my Acer in my pocket (in front of my jeans) and when I take out of pocket I saw broken screen. So no water or extensive pressure.

I know this, I wrote it for information that all works apart from display ;). And I lost all data which was on memory card .
[neoTouch S200 General] Qazer:
Já jsem můj Acer koupil v Praze v obchodě Mobildick, takže když se ten displej rozbil, tak jsem jim ho tam donesl a oni, že to pošlou někam do servisu.
[neoTouch S200 General] riotman:
Lucky you, here in Germany they want to charge me 210 Euros for the replacement lcd display, for my 5 Months old Smartphone...

Screw Acer..... Of course i wont pay that price.

But every cloud has a silver lining..... if i reject the repair, they only charge me with 25 Euros for looking at it...

I'll get myself an LCD display from ebay and will mount it.... still over 100 euros saved...

This experience certified every opinion my friends have and now my opinion about acer and support....
[neoTouch S200 General] Kubino:
Here in Czech Republic Acer doesn't sell his smartphones official. So no support from Acer. I bought in local shop which selling smartphone import from EU (I haven't got original warranty certificate). When I had a problem with display, I took my Acer to the shop where I bought it and they sent to the service. I don't know if to the official Acer service or non-official (maybe they bought new display on ebay and replace it).

(I was here as Qazer - I changed nickname.)

I`d like to see for example

TV HUB -

Watched recorded TV from Windows Media Center and Slingbox

TV listings

TV Suggestions

Set Remote recordings on SKY BOX

Watch BBC Iplayer, Sky Player, ITV Player etc

Sports HUBS - Cricket, Football F1 etc

Scores,Fixtures,Stats,Betting

Travel info to sports venue

Weather info for sports venue

Team player profiles

News and Gossips

Travel HUB -

Buses and Trains - tickets, timetables, maps cancellations etc

AIR Travel - flight bookings, arrivals, departures

ROAD - Traffic updates, nearest service station, nearest car dealerships

Roadside Assistance, Maintainance Information, Router Planner
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ganondolf:
ps3 hub please Sony.

I know u wont be able to play games but they could let u:

Look at your trophies

Compare trophies with friends

See who is online

Check what is in the ps3 store

Sent messages to friends

and maybe other stuff i cant think of now
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ebzrascal:
How about a Sony HUB not only playstation games but also Sony Music and Movie content also.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] KB24@CL:
why would the maker of XBOX support PLAYSTATION? makes absolutely no sense.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Ganondolf:
lots of reasons:

1. Ms does not stop companies making apps even if made by competitors.

2. Sony Ericsson is making wm7 phones.

3. Google makes apps for maps and search for wm which compete with bing.

4. opera etc make browsers that compete with IE.

5. Ms makes ms office for macs & Symbian phones.

makes no sense to stop an hub(app) that would draw in ps3 users into buying wm7 phones (remember smart phones is a lot bigger business than xbox)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] vangrieg:
I think there's some confusion here. A "Hub" is a "panoramic interface", not the homescreen element like the Games one with the avatar popping up and out. So anyone and their dog can make a hub for their application, including Sony. The same goes for tiles except third parties aren't allowed to make rectangular ones, just the squares, if I'm not mistaken, but the Games one is a square as well. Those can be animated and so on. The takeaway is that Sony can easily make their Sony hub and their live tile if they wish. It was also mentioned more than once that third parties will be able to "hook into" existing hubs/tiles, although I'm not sure what's meant by that.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] ebzrascal:
I think a Playstation Hub would sell millions of phones for Sony Ericsson and would be a way to be different from other manufacturers like LG Samsung and HTC................. Imagine PS2 and PSOne games plus PS Network
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] vangrieg:
PS Network what exactly? :)

Microsoft did a great job confusing everyone with this XBox integration talk. It's just ability to sign in and upload those stupid achievements, not some magic stuff that will give you Halo on your phone or even ability to save game state between devices.

Also, no hub will bring PS games to your phone. The real purpose of Playstation network is to sell stuff to you, and that won't be possible, you have to use Marketplace. So if PS game developers decide to make WP versions you'll have them. They can also give you the ability to upload your trophies, of course, but you don't need any hub for that, and there's not much Sony can do about it. :)
