How come it never seems be able to download widgets?!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] PlagaDeRock:
Probably cause its a feature they just haven't really implemented yet, would be my guess. They put it in the system but just haven't set up the market side of it yet.

it didnt work on stock 1.5 either so probably right that it hasnt been implimented yet
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ko0pa11:
I honestly think its the roms not being official builds...I had the battery widget on stock 1.5, when I wasnt rooted
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] eme82:
It worked on DamageControl 1.1 BETA 6

Get more widgets worked on DamageControl 1.1 BETA 6 so it is implemented. I'm not sure what DamageControl did to get it to work. There were 4 widgets.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] illogic6:
This.

I'm pretty sure that is just supposed to point you to the extra HTC widgets that are already available in the market. The only useful one IMO is the battery so we aren't missing much at this time.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] subliminalurge:
I'm running 1.1 beta 6 and it works even worse for me than it ever has. It used to at least try for awhile before giving me the error message, but now it's instantaneous.

I wonder if it has anything to do with trying this from home where I'm on roaming data..... (and in this specific area, there's a very good chance that I'm not roaming on one of the "big boys". It's quite possibly US Cellular, as they're the ONLY carrier that has solid coverage in this town.)

[HD2 General] kidcash:
Hello,

On my HTC HD2 I have disable the Sense interface and have used the Normal Windows Today program with the "messaging" option displayed.

So I have the "No unread messages" as normal on my today screen like.

But whenever I recieve a message it doesn't say on the today screen "1 Unread message", but just a notification comes up on the taskbar at the top and when i click it it opens the HTC Application.

How can I make it that whenever I recieve a message I can use the default windows App and have all my messages listed there (Like on earlier OS's).

On 6.1 device when I click on "No unread messages" it comes up with which account to select, there is

"TEXT MESSAGES" and

"SET UP EMAIL".

But on my HTC HD2 it just says "Setup Email", there is no "TEXT MESSAGES" tab.

Can anybody help me to make it so I can use the default messaging application on windows to send/recieve SMS Messages.

Much Thanks.

Boris.

Hi All,

I have flashed my Touch HD with the official ROM which i downloaded from HTC web site.

here is details of the ROM :

R: 1.13.25.24

G: 52.62.25.34U

D: 1.56.00.00

The installation process gone with success but after the reboot and first settings process the problem begins :

- The GSM network is not working

- The phone can't be connected to the PC

- The phone is very slow and sometimes is not responding at all.

I have made a hard reset but in vain.

I have tried to connect it again to the PC to flash it again with cooked ROM but the device can't be connected.

Can anyone help me please !!

[General Topics] andreasfuntastic:
I use a analog dualsimholder. What i am searching since such a long time is a trick to show the IMSI code (or sim telephone number) on the tf3d todayscreen next to the operator name so i can see which sim is in use.

(Because my 2 sims are from the same network operator, on todayscreen the same network name is shown, and I can not decide which sim is in use).

I used to use the todayplugin from pelargonium, but this one only work on WM-todayscreen, not on tf3d.

Much better solution would be, if the used network operator and the sim number in use would be visible on the lockscreen.

Hope some dualsim users can help.

I use hd2- 1.66 rom
[General Topics] andreasfuntastic:
the boring solution until now is to:

1.) unlock phone

2.) use cookiemonster-plugin and made shortcut for sim-manager on homescreen. When opening sim manager i can see which sim number is in use.

But i would like to see which operater and which sim is in use with just one look on lockscreen when power up the phone

Can't you? I'm just about to upgrade my old nokia to a desire but being able to make skype-to-skype calls over 3g is a very important feature for me. I use it often on my nokia. Skype mobile's android website suggests that its possible (at least on Verizon). Perhaps it's more to do with the network than the software? I'm hoping on vodafone in the UK it won't be a problem. What do you think?

Before skype symbian i used both fring and Nimbuzz with limited success. Fine for messaging, but laggy for voip.

Yes Fring is the option atm. it has most of the im's integrated and you can have skype voip, their own or 3rd party. I used it on my WM phone and SE m600 works fine, and my friend using it on the Hero. Can't wait for my Android phone. :P

And the best thing that Fring implemented video calls over the skype, but not sure android is getting it, except for Evo which has front camera.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Check out the G1 forums, there's a skype app somewhere on there which has been pulled from the 3 Hero. 3 offer free skype to skype calls on their phones and have their own skype (skype branded but i think made by them) app.

It would also probably be in the Hero forums.

Hi all

I have come to the conclusion that I need a new phone as the gsm signal at my boarding school is abysmal (pesky lake district!). However, the whole campus is covered by wifi. I was thinking of using skype over wifi. Sounds simple no? Well here is where we run into the problems. My school's network uses an automatic proxy configuration URL. As far as I know the only phone that can do this and also do skype is the iphone.

I would be open to any suggestions as to which phone to go for, as I am now confused.

SO to clarify, these are the things that I need from my phone:

+ WIFI WITH PROXY CONFIGURATION SETTINGS (automatic proxy configuration URL)

+ SKYPE CAPABILITY

and here are some asides that I would be interested in:

+emulators (SNES etc)

+ Divx player

+ full flash web browser

I'm sorry if this is a little specific!

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Hi, I just got Samba server (2.2.12) working on my HTC Hero. The daemons smbd+nmbd take up just under 4Mb memory when running (and opening a shared folder on the phone from a computer on the network will launch another smbd daemon, which is about 2.5Mb).

The main problem I'm having is slow xfer rates - seems to max out at 600 - 700Kb/s. Its the same if i SCP files though, so I dont think its a problem is with samba specifically...

I can provide a tarball with the files if you want to try it out (install & configuration is through a root shell, its all pretty basic at the moment).

[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
By all means, I'd like to try it on my Nexus. Just finished a thread about changing Nexus One's hostname from default "localhost", and understood that besides my router, I can't do much with it on Windows network w/o DNS :)

[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Have attached a zip file containing the samba files + README.txt with basic install instructions. Access the phone shared folder via Windows network browsing, or with \\IPaddress of the phone.

** See a later post by me in this thread that has a newer version of Samba attached which includes automated install/uninstall script.
[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
Hi,

I've checked the most recent version and the one before it, on Nexus.

Both exhibit the same behavior.

1) When trying to unzip to SD card, everything's ok and the default file attributes are preserved. When extracting to /data/local, no matter which way is used, "executable" attributes aren't preserved - only RW attributes. chmod +rwx samba/bin/* doesn't help, and when trying to execute "samba-rc start" via Terminal on the phone, it shows: "ash: can't find samba-rc" (I'm using ash). Using "su samba-rc start" also doesn't help, it shows "permission denied".

2) Trying to execute smbpasswd - it asks for a new password and confirmation, and crashes with segmentation fault.

3) Trying to execute samba-rc from ADB SHELL didn't throw any error messages, but it didn't work either.
[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
I've tried both running from the phone's terminal emulator and by adb shell (I don't open the shell continuously, I run each command separately - adb shell "command", this way I can dump the output to PC by adding > in the end).

/data/local/samba/bin/nmbd -i -d 99

Looks like it's working, both from phone's terminal emulator and from adb shell. I see the Nexus being discovered by Windows 7 workstation on network scan (I've personalized the name - read my thread in Nexus development section on how to do that). nmbd_log attached, to check that everything's ok.

/data/local/samba/bin/smbd -i -d 99

Here the things start getting more interesting.

1) If I try to connect, after some time the smbd stops by itself - looks like after 5 failed attempts the server auto-stops itself. That's not a good behavior, especially considering that while Windows prompts you for username and password to connect, it also keeps trying to auto-connect using the default username (that's where 5 attempts come from). The server shouldn't stop itself. smbd_log1 attached.

2) If I write the user on time, smbd crashes while trying to compare passwords. smbd_log2 attached.

All the logs are zipped.
[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Thanks for the info Jack.

With the shell script, can you try running it like:

sh -c "/data/local/samba/bin/samba-rc restart"

if that still doesnt work, as a further test, open two root sessions via adb shell, in one run the nmbd command, in the other run the smbd (both with same options as before) then try browsing again from your computer.

Note: dont let your phone go into sleep mode (keep the screen active so the display stays on).

- JC
[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
I had a chance to play with both versions some more.

1) using su and no shell (not running ash) I can run samba-rc, and it executes correctly. Both processes (nmbd and smbd) show up in ps. To achieve that, I needed to chmod +rwx /samba/bin/* after unzipping.

2) nmbd works well, and the phone shows up on Windows network.

3) It still doesn't allow logging into it, and I believe the problem lies in smbpasswd executable, which still shows erroneous behavior:

Tried to login using default user bogan: "network resource not available" message coming from Windows upon entering login credentials. Phone stays on the network and can be accessed again, but login is still impossible.

Tried to change default user's password: smbpasswd asks for new password twice (without asking for the old one - which is wrong behavior!) and crashes with segmentation fault.

Tried removing /samba/private/smbpasswd file and creating a new one, using smbpasswd -add username. Worked, but no password was asked for the user.

Tried to change password for new username. The same as before - asked for new password twice, then crashed with segmentation fault.

When tried to login with the new user, it didn't show "network resource not available", but it kept asking for password (the dialog where username is already there, and only the password needs to be retyped). I didn't know the default password that smbpasswd creates, if any. Tried nothing, tried several basic options (root, same as username, etc), none worked.

I believe the problem might be smbpasswd not working correctly on Android 2.1.

ich started samba via chroot debian. i can read and write the filesystem.. except mapped /sdcard... i cannot delete files... any ideas how to set permissions? the user is 1000 and group is 1015
[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
Played some more with it, and I can definitely point at authentication as the source of the problems. I got it to work. Not too well - because it lacks any security whatsoever - but at least it works.

First, about the problems:

When mistyping the password one of the times, smbpasswd shows correct error message and gracefully exits.

When doing everything correctly, it crashes - but writes /private/smbpasswd file before that.

I've tried to run it with debug level = 9, it showed lots of info when starting, and after changing passwords - just the regular "Segmentation fault" crash.

in smb.conf, setting password encryption = off causes the Windows to throw "this user isn't authorized to login from this station" error instead of asking for username.

But, how I got things to work?

Well, since I was certain that it's the authentication mechanisms that prevent it from working, I prevented those authentication mechanisms from functioning. At first I wanted to ask Jimmy for a test version that would ignore user/password checking, but then I thought that I might do it in smb.conf file. So here is what I did:

[global]

security = SHARE # instead of USER

[sdcard]

guest ok = yes # instead of no

With these settings, I get no password prompts and Samba works! I see SD card share, and can copy to/from it.

Notes:

* The main script (samba-rc) works well in killing all the smbd processes on stop/restart.

* Server still runs when the phone is in sleep mode, just much slower.

Jimmy, could you please test smbpasswd compilation to find out why it crashes on 2.1 (I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.6)? Once it's done, I believe that this will work anywhere.

Also, something could probably be done to make it speed up CPU / network on demand when the phone is sleeping, or to prevent the phone from sleeping while it's running - and a GUI can be made for controlling it, since it'll be fully functional.
[Android Software Development] DocMAX:
can you delete from the sdcard share?
[Android Software Development] Jack_R1:
Yes, tried and deleted a directory with files.
[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Hi Jack,

Nice work with your testing :)

I'd like to take a look at all the file permissions samba unzip'd with and compare them to what they should be - could you post output of

ls -laR /data/local/samba​

smbpasswd probs: could you delete /data/local/samba/private/smbpasswd and add a user with bin/smpasswd using '-a' rather than '-add', like

/data/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a jack​

then re-enable authentication in the config file and see how it goes?

I'll see what the options might be for the sleep mode network speed slow down (I do want to package it all up with GUI config and control options etc eventually, i suspect the sleep mode stuff will be easier to control this way too).

- JC
[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
So you're doing a chroot to somewhere else on the phone filesystem before starting samba, if i understand correctly?

Have you tested it without chroot to see if the problem still happens? Is there any indication of a permission problem reported in /data/local/samba/var/log.smbd ?

Is 1000 / 1015 the user/group of the files on the sdcard you are trying to delete, or the user / group you've set in samba.conf?

- JC
[Android Software Development] JimmyChingala:
Hi Jack, your file permissions look mostly ok - ive assembled the sambaArchive differently now, should hopefully avoid the permission probs you saw.

Tracked down the cause of smbd crashing in debug mode too, so we should be able to get some proper debug info about whats happening to authentication.

The bin/smbpasswd segfaults are fixed - adding/removing users, changing passwords seems to work ok.

Have attached the updated archive sambaAndroid-0.3.zip to my other post in this thread.
