[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i agree with the general voice here. remember the times when there were no cellphones? and yet kids (us!) survived that era... WOW! not sure how it was possible, but it was. so go and teach your kids to be responsible, and first of all teach them to think for themselves. they wil grow up at some point, and then there will be nobody to check their location every ten minutes via their cellphone, and there will be nobody checking their financial status twice a day. or are you planning on doing this when they are 35?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ddotpatel:
Dan,... First an apology, I hope you dont think I was taking the piss out of you personally.

Now,... I do agree, on some features,... but some are horrendously unethical in my view.

i.e....

-GPS always on

-use a software like "wavesecure" to look at the phones activities.

-app to see where they are and where they have been.

-ability for us to call the phone, it auto answer, speaker on, and not show any trace of it being on.

... especially that last one,....

But that being said,... These could be good,...

- Something to make sure txts and minutes do not go over bundled ones, unless to call parents.

- Limit access to paid apps on market.

- And PC like internet parental block/filter (although I would have missed out on alot of 'vital info' if my parents had done this to my PC when I was at school).

Peace out
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cbanbury:
My thoughts exactly. Why give such an expensive device to a child?

Come to think of it, if your kids are anything like I was when I was 8 they

will just flash it with a different ROM anyway :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dan330:
hhhmmm........

so many that oppose me idea....

and you all.. are taking this soo out of context!

I remember when I was a kid.. around 12 yrs old...

My parents would say.. get out of the house..

just be back by dinner!!!

but in these days and time....

Can you all.. really do that????
[Droid Eris Android Development] mattoxic:
Since the 2.1 new update was released, I figured it would be a higher version number than our leaked 2.1. That means we could hboot it to our phones to update.

But wait, could some developer root this update (maybe in a similar to the way they rooted 1.5 to 2.1 root) so the leaked 2.1 people could hboot to this new update for 2.1 except it would be rooted.

Sorry if that was confusing.

Here's where the update was found:

androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/55898-you-dont-need-root-new-leak.html
[Droid Eris Android Development] shickfaced:
As far as I understand it, the reason that 2.1 OTA can be installed for users running leaked 2.1 is because it has a higher subversion number and it is SIGNED. That is the tricky part. Because your SPL / HBoot is S-ON, meaning that it will only install signed zips, you are still unable to install a rooted 2.1. The reason that the exploit worked on 1.5 is because the PB00IMG.zip IS a signed package, but the versioning only puts it ahead of 1.5, not Leaked 2.1 or OTA 2.1. Once the PB00IMG.zip is installed, it turns S-OFF so that unsigned (e.g. rooted) packages. From what I have read in other posts, devs are moving toward trying to find exploits in the new 2.1 OTA for users who have already upgraded without root. I would personally recommend doing the 2.1 OTA and hanging tight for the next exploit.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mattoxic:
Thank you man. So, would it not be possible to turn S-OFF in this new update? I understand that would require going in and tampering with the files, which could break the signature on the package, possibly?
[Droid Eris Android Development] shickfaced:
Precisely, if you change one bit of a signed file, the signature changes completely. As I understand it, the PB00IMG.zip file that is used to root 1.5 phones was "stumbled upon" already signed by HTC. For any future rooting for people with 2.1, this file is unusable because the versioning of this convenient package is older than what leakers and official 2.1 adopters have. It is impossible to modify the 2.1 update without breaking the sig. We now have to hope that devs can find an exploit or broken code in the new 2.1 update that allows for rooting by another means.

If you are desperate, feel free to try to socially engineer Verizon. That has met with considerable success from some other early adopters. If not, play the waiting game. In the mean time, feel free to upgrade to the OTA 2.1 leak. It fixes some things like Google relogin.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
So, I installed the first 2.1 leak. Can I install this new one that just came out in the last couple days? Sorry, guess I'm not seeing the answer here
[Droid Eris Android Development] mixedlemon:
If we were able to find a way to modify the update to include root with a valid signature, we would also be able to modify the version number to a higher number than the current 2.1 leak. I'm pretty sure upgrading to the "official" 2.1 won't hurt our chances of finding root, it'll just make the wait less buggy :P

jearl75:

Yeah, you can install the new leak over the old one, no worries.
[Droid Eris Android Development] theboo7:
so should us people on the first 2.1 leak upgrade to the newest one or stay on the first one??
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangerous Dave:
I reckon that depends on if you're experiencing the Google login bug or not. My wife's Eris with the first leaked 2.1 is not. And if you are experiencing that bug, which is more hassle...logging into Google repeatedly, or rebuilding your phone (apps, contacts, etc) from scratch??
[Droid Eris Android Development] theboo7:
its not that bad since i rarely restart my phone, i guess my real question would be would it make it longer until i get root? or are devs trying to root the NEW 2.1 instead of the old 2.1
[Droid Eris Android Development] mdeavers:
I apologize if this gets old, but I am trying to be cautious so I don't brick my phone...

I downloaded the following leaked 2.1 version a few weeks ago, and have this installed:

Baseband version: 2.40.00.01.22

Kernel version: 2.6.29-5898f66b / htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number: 2.19.605.1 CL12345 test-keys

Software number: 2.19.605.1

I have a problem installing the new version of Google Maps. Phone dial can be sluggish and/or unresponsive at times, but it is manageable. Overall, the installation of the leaked ROM went fine, and I feel like I am pushing my luck if I try to download the latest ROM. Does anyone know if the latest release addresses the issues above? I am not experiencing any of the login issues to Gmail that others are experiencing.

My question is this: Should I just leave well enough alone and wait for the OTA at this point?

Thanks for any suggestions.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
I Know that when I installed the new Leak, the dialer lag was MUCH improved, as was the phone signal and general stability, Gmail doesn't make you log back in every reboot, and on my phone my "get more HTC widgets" link is fixed. But I heard on others phones it wasnt. It Does wipe all your apps even though its 2.1 -> 2.1. But Just like last time the SD card is untouched.

The installation process is exactly the same. I recommend it.

EDIT- Actually I just noticed the build you have installed is test keys signed and to my knowledge only the root rom was test key signed. This being the case if you want to keep root I would flash a custom cooked ROM... Since your lucky enough to have the chance to do so... Sigh..
[Droid Eris Android Development] thawkth:
Wait, test keys signed means what exactly? My Eris reads that but I only installed the two leaks AFAIK?

Does it just mean signed by HTC?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
So you only installed the 2.1 non-root Leaks??? I may be mistaken, but both times I flashed the leaks, 2.1a +2.1b, both had builds signed with release keys... I was under the impression that only the 2.1 leak+root was signed with test keys.

Shed some light developers?
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
You are exactly correct: Both of the leaked 2.1 roms have release keys, while the 1.5->2.1 root rom (and any rom based on that upgrade) will have test keys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
my girl has a rooted 2.1 with release keys. download Grdlocks ota rom
[Droid Eris Android Development] thawkth:
Interesting...can you post the software version/info from your phone settings?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Whitepaint:
Thats most probably because Grdlocks ota rom is based on just that, the 2.1 ota leak, not the 2.1+root rom. The Beauty of custom roms...
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Sorry no one has been clean on this before:

The 2.1 leak was leaked from HTC by riverrunner. We actually don't care about the hboot version, radio version is the main thing updaters look at (we've found that out since root).

The 2.1 update that had root built in was also an HTC leak. It contained SU. That was the difference. We didn't do ANYTHING to get root. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It was leaked by someone at HTC. Simple enough. So, we CANNOT redo this, becuas we did NOTHING.

Hope this clears it up. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] duscar:
I'm glad this was finally publicly admitted. I got kind of tired of the devs going around pretending they actually did something besides getting lucky with a leak.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostprophet894:
The same thing keeps happening when I attempt to flash a ROM to my Nexus. I've tried several ROMs from this forum. Here's what I'm seeing:

Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-5.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

I've also attempted restoring to a nand backup and got a similar message about being unable to access the sd card.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks. Oh so helpful.

How about a link to the right place then?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongie123:
Q&A.Mods please move to appropriate section. Make sure the zip file is in the root of sdcard.Unplug from computer if you are.Flash the zip file from Anon-Ra recovery.If still doesn't work,try downloading the Rom from another mirror.

[HD2 General] alpergroups:
Hey guys,

i know this sounds funny but i've installed the bsb tweaks and wifinostandby for staying connected to wifi on standby..

it worked perfect but now i cant change it to off. it's using too much battery..

i've changed the registry but it didnt help at all.

how can i solve this?

thanks!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Are you saying that you can't turn off wifi at all, or that you can turn it off, but you want it to turn off automatically when in standby?
[HD2 General] ozkaya:
I guess he wants wifi automatically turn off when in standby. this one is bothering me as well.
[HD2 General] alpergroups:
yes exactly..

i want to turn it off when its on standby..
[HD2 General] Archer:
Have you uninstalled WifiNoStandby and done a soft reset afterwards?
[HD2 General] alpergroups:
yes i've uninstalled it(wifinostandby) and still wifi is active on standby.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Where in the registry did you check?

It should be HKLM\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms:HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended = 0
[HD2 General] alpergroups:
yes i've set it to zero also.
[HD2 General] Archer:
In that case, I'm sorry to say but something else is affecting your wifi status. I know for sure it's not WifiNoStandby as the only thing it does is set that registry value to 1 every time you restart. Since you've uninstalled it and that values is definitely 0 then something else must be interfering. I'd be very interested to find out what that is myself!
[HD2 General] alpergroups:
i've solved it.

i dont know how.

i just know i've uninstalled wifino&bsb tweaks and change the parameters at registry.

interesting.
[HD2 General] bashulaojia:
...I have been using the HD2 for a little over three months now. While I really enjoyed the phone and all its gizmos in the beginning, I am becoming more and more disappointed by its performance in everyday life:

SMS:

HTC can say what they want, there still is some kind of bug with the SMS texting. Replying to someone's message will miraculous highlight the last received message. You always have to select the texting area before you see what you are typing.

Twitter:

This is currently one of my biggest gripes. The built in twitter client is a major pain...it will repeatedly ignore my settings and download twitter messages whenever it wants and how many it wants. Sometimes I end up downloading some 200+ twitter messages at a time. During the downloading process, the entire phone will start to lag - to the point where I have to wait up to a minute before I can use the phone again. I really wished that there was a way to replace Peep with another twitter client, while maintining the SenseUI interface tab. Also, an option for "push"-twittering would be nice. The 5 minute refresh rate just doesn't cut it for me; not that I have gotten the phone to actually refresh twitter every 5 minutes. And as I think of it, the twitter alarm tone also goes off whenever it feels like it.

Online Updates:

The settings I have made for updating the Stocks, Twitter and Weather tabs all get ignored by the phone. For instance, I have set the weather tab to refresh every 3 hours... Just checked the phone - last refresh was over 23 hours ago. Same with twitter. Twitter is set to update every 5 minutes. Last update was about 2 hours ago. Not sure what's going on here!

Bluetooth Devices:

Even though I love SenseUI, getting to the Bluetooth device list is just hideous. You virtually have to click and swipe yourself through several screens, just to get to the settings. Why couldn't they just activate the Bluetooth icon on top of the screen to directly take you there.

Volume Settings:

What's with that weird "three-steps at a time" volume slider when pressing the volume sidekeys? Isn't there a more sensitive way to adjust the volume using the sidekeys? I do realize that I could fingerswipe the screen, but I really don't want to get the phone out of my pocket everytime I feel like adjusting the volume levels.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to trash this phone! I just think that these are some fundamental problems on a 600€ phone that HTC should have worked out before release. Would love to hear some feedback from you guys!! Appreciate any help you can give.
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Well actually they are fundamental problems Microsoft should have sorted out, Windows Mobile 6.5 is an absolutely ****e OS, and I think HTC did a bang up job modifying it for the HD2. What with all the cabs flying about here it doesn't take much to get your phone working well.

Although I will say, the SMS thing would be one of the few grips I have,
[HD2 General] cMMY69:
To be honest I think that HTC serious believe that what you call the SMS bug is a "helpful" design feature (I'm not kidding). It is a pain in the arse, along with vidually counting every yexy in the conversation.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Errr... every single issue he raised is with Sense. Not one single issue there is related to WM.

[Desire General] mojavaid36:
I've just been on the phone to Otterbox and they have told me that they have had a lot of requests from customers (including me!) for an Otterbox for the HTC Desire. She told me that the company are seriously looking at producing one similar to the Commuter Series they have for the HTC Hero.

HTC Hero Otterbox can be seen below.

With details here.
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
Heck yes, I'd buy one ;)

I had one for each of my iPhones. Best protection you can get IMHO.
[Desire General] razor1394:
I think Otterbox is one of the few case manufacturers that provides near perfect protection.

I have one for my Iphone 3G and It's really good.

Silicon or crystal cases are far from perfect protections. Armor case is bit better but still far from perfect.

http://www.otterbox.com/htc-desire-cases-coming-soon
[Desire General] razor1394:
It's here now! I just got an email that you can now order the Otterbox defender for the Desire.
[Desire General] fr0stb1te:
i was really looking forward to receiving this case, but sadly after 17 days of waiting, the item haven't even been shipped yet, and after contacting otterbox customer service, they promised to ship it ASAP, another 5 days pass by, i email them again and they apologize for not shipping the item yet, i asked for a refund, 8 days so far and no refund yet! (it's in stock as well as I was informed by the rep)

Avoid buying from them directly, eBay sellers and other websites at least ship the item when u buy it and it's available on eBay at the moment, 7 dollars more expensive but worth not waiting forever for it.
[Desire General] razor1394:
That sounds sad. I bought my latest Otterbox cases from Ebay but this time I was trigger happy and ordered directly from Otterbox.com. I've also ordered from Expansys previously (when Otterbox didn't take international orders but placed it on them instead) but that case was faulty.

This time however there is no Desire Defender case on Ebay for international shipping.

My Desire Defender case is on its way. It should be here soon.
[Desire General] fentot:
I have the commuter for my desire. I also bought a separate screen protector. However the commuter case is fantastic sold feel and look . I've had no problems even the rubber covers work perfectly for the USB port. The rubber button over the power button makes it feel easier to turn on and off. Brilliant.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Hey guys, not sure if this is the right forum for this idea, but I have a webhost account that I already pay for and get 150gb of space and 1.5tb of bandwidth each month. I host 3 tiny websites on it and have a crapton of space and bandwidth left. In an attempt to give back to the devs on here for all their hard work, I'd like to offer to host ANY ROM for ANY DEVICE on my webserver , free of charge , with no strings attached. My way of saying thanks for doing kickass work all the time. If anyone is interested, send me a PM on here or email me @ brendan@fromhindsight.com :D
[G1 Android Development] lbcoder:
Make sure that what you host lacks proprietary binaries, otherwise you could be subject to C&D's.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Thanks for the heads up kind sir.
[G1 Android Development] jayshah:
If that hosting is your generic $10/mo for all you can eat plans, forget it. After the first few roms start consuming some serious bandwidth, your host will find a way to get rid of you. Simply because, most servers have a global 2TB/monthly allotment - so offering 1.5TB to a single account is just plain overselling and are screwed if you use it. I'm pretty sure this is the case because you stated that the websites are small, so chances are you haven't hired your own dedicated servers for them.

Not having a dig or anything, really kind thing to do, just don't want you going through the hassle then getting yourself suspended in the process.
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Its godaddy if that makes a diff.... I'm still up for trying
[G1 Android Development] Duolc:
I was thinking of something similar. Give me a little more time to finish up my site. I host my own site from my living room. So I dont pay host fees. Might be able to help out.
[G1 Android Development] earth12345:
Well, I have web hosting service in Thailand.

But it is for Local P2P not for web, so they not offer me an International Bandwidth.

Things I need just 600 baht/month for additional IP Address and International Bandwidth (not sure for the price).

I have 180GB Partition for storage something but I can offer it for storage.

PS. International Bandwidth maybe very bad because I didn't co locating at CAT IDC. The next things is I can offer an unlimit data transfer.

PS2. 34baht=1USD

can not waittttt
[EVO 4G General] vcespon:
Me too

Obvious choice...

Windows Mobile has no future, all my current programs will not run on any 2011 phone.

iPhone sucks, I'm no 3 year old kid to have Apple watching over what I install, what I read and what sites I visit

Windows Phone 7 = iPhone

So that leaves Android.

And now we have this beast with even better hardware than HD2 and Android 2.1...

Waiting for it to be available on Europe.

I cant wait til they give us a release date and price. i will be getting it first day. Maybe earlier if best buy does the rewards zone thing again..... June 5 is my upgrade date. tick tock
[EVO 4G General] avalst:
I'm pretty sure google is MUCH more interested in what you search, sites you visit, apps you install, calls you make, texts you receive and locations you visit.

Apple doesn't make their money from a huge advertising network and doesn't make apps that track all that stuff for you already. Don't kid your self google is watching!

I just happen to be an exhibitionist so I don't mind :) Can't wait to get my EVO!

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vmaxada:
Go in fastboot by pressing back+power (while your phone is switched off) and tell as what your SPL and radio version is. I suspect it's a 1.33.xx.xx SPL and 3.22.xx.xx radio, but you should better tell us in order to help you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] spongerob500:
HBOOT is 1.33.0010

RADIO 3.22.30.17

Im on a 32b, S-ON H.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] vmaxada:
Are you sure it's 32B, S-ON H. If it's 32B, it should be S-ON G. Be very careful. If you flash your 32B Magic with a ROM that is meant for a 32A, you may brick your phone.
