Hello XDA Mods "Sticky" please

+1, I have been rooting phones since the day the G1 came out. I have to say that theunlockr.com site makes rooting practically noob proof. I have used it once or twice when setting up my drivers for SDK/ADB and was very impressed.

Honestly, I wish that XDA would create a section of "How To" videos for rooting the devices that theunlockr.com showcases. This would make rooting much easier for noobs.

This gets my vote for "STICKY"!

[Desire General] Raminder1992:
Well basically I am getting charged for some of my text messages and I do not know why.

If I send a long text message will it send as a MMS???

THanks ... this is with T-Mobile
[Desire General] pee_cee:
You need to speak to tmobile.
[Desire General] fakeuser456:
The manual says that an SMS will automatically be converted to an MMS if "very long", but not how long. Can you visually tell when this happens?
[Desire General] O and O:
Just like when you add a word tot he dictionary it will appear eith "Converting to MMS ..." once it is too long.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
if memory serves, it's somewhere between 3 and 5 SMS messages in length where it changes to an MMS.
[Desire General] O and O:
I always though 5 was the max for text messages on any phone. Then it breaks it down into seperate messages.
[Desire General] Raminder1992:
it just sends it as an MMS and i get charged by T-Mobile 17p every time that happens!

That is twice now! But at least I know before i rack up a huge bill!

I will experiment and find out!
[Desire General] O and O:
Happened to me last week, NOT COOL!
[Desire General] TulpiX:
is there a way around this ?

like a config option or something like that ?

is this specific to the desire or android ?
[Desire General] Zappza:
This is standard behaviour for all Android devices, and it applies to the stock messaging app. The reason for this, is that if you are going to send more than three SMSes, it will in most cases be cheaper to send an MMS. This does not of course apply when you have unlimited texts or other discounts.

Until this gets fixed, download a replacement from the market. Try chompSMS or Handcent SMS. The automatic conversion is optional in these.
[Desire General] TulpiX:
ah ok

hope this gets fixed fast
[Desire General] bengrulz:
using an alternative sms program such as handcent sms or chomp sms gives you the option to break up long text messages into seperate texts instead of converting to mms

Hi

I am interested in the following,

lock screen of the Nexus One (On top of sense UI, and No i dont want to change the ROM or disable sense and get Launcher2, i just want the lock screen of N1 as an apk, thats it). I have searched but no dice.

So, can someone point me to Nexus One Android 2.1 source code? since Android is "open source" i might be able to extract what i need and make it an apk?

thanx!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danbrown162:
hi guys,

so im looking at buying a new battery which wont need a new back cover for my g1..

ive read somewhere that a standard mytouch battery will fit a g1. is this true???

ive had a good look and can see no answer to this so dont have a go at me:)

if not, can anyone reccomend me the best battery to use without having the need of the extra back cover.

thanks guys, regards, dan.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
No. They are two totally different sizes. The G1 battery is slimmer but about a centimeter longer than the MyTouch battery. And the MyTouch battery is almost a centimeter wider than the G1 battery. The G1 is rectangular and the MT3G battery is more square and thicker. Did my best to describe without having a camera handy.

MyTouch 3.7v 1340mAh

G1 3.7v 1150mAh.

[Imagio General] frankenbike:
So, I find that when I use a browser or any other data connection software, the data connection stays on after exiting the browser or other data use software. This tends to run my battery down extra fast if I forget to go into the Comm Manager and turn off the data connection manually. Or I'm in a situation where I can't take the extra time.

Question 1: what are other people doing about this?

Question 2: Is there a something like the WiFi switch programs (I'm using AKToggleWiFi) which make turning the data connection on or off something that can be done with a button or shortcut on the today screen?

On Question 2, the main thing I don't like about the Comm Manager are the number of steps involved, and when I turn on the Comm Manager, it takes a few seconds for it to realize that the data connection is on, before I can turn it off.

Thanks in advance

[Imagio General] wildman:
Try this:

To disconnect network when idle for 1 min

HKLM\Comm\CommMgr\Planner\Settings\

Delete the following key: "SuspendResume"

add "CacheTime" value of 60

This should disable the connection if its idle for 1 min

hope i helped!!!!
[Imagio General] frankenbike:
Thank you! That works!. I set it for 30 seconds (BTW, had to use DWord, not string). I didn't delete the old Key, just set it to zero. I may need it for times when I'm doing a chat or something that I can't have it log off during...experimentation to follow.

Why doesn't it come with an option to turn off the data connection instead of burning through the battery after a certain wait period?
[Imagio General] wildman:
To be honest I gave up on trying to understand Microsoft's reasoning, there is a number of performance issues that could be resolved easily that they choose not to fix.. They are special like that :D .. I thought about trying just disabling registry instead of deleting it, Glad that worked for you.
[Imagio General] frankenbike:
The difference in power use is profound. I think data connection wasn't just happening when I used it, but would go on by itself and stay that way. This is the first time I've seen this much power left in the battery after a whole day. It's still reading 100%, even though I've used the phone a couple of times. In 5 months, that has never happened.

I wish my wife's LG Touch was as open to problem solving as my WinMo phone. I'm pretty sure her phone has a similar problem draining down the battery.
[Imagio General] dm396:
new imagio issues...

Hello,

I am very glad to be returning to a winmo phone, after having been forced to use blackberry for a while. I have used many windows phones in the past, so am sort of familiar with rom flashing and registry edits.

Just got an HTC imagio, and am using it with corporate exchange server, connected through VPN. I have a couple issues that I am hoping someone can help with. When my VPN is enabled, I go through the entire battery in less than 6 hours. When it is disabled, battery lasts for about 2 days. Any ideas about how to make the battery last longer w/ VPN enabled? Would the approach described about disconnecting network when idle help with this?

In any case, I would like to try. Would someone mind please directing me to a registry editor that works on imagio? thanks, and I'd very much appreciate any other ideas!

EDIT:

OMFG...this works PERFECTLY!!! MY BATTERY IS LASTING WAY WAY LONGER, AND I'M STAYING CONNECTED TO VPN!!!

sorry for yelling...I am just so freakin' happy. This forum is great!

[Nexus One Accessories] ichigoismyhomie:
What kind of 3M car sticker are you going to use?

I tried the "carbon fiber" 3M vinyl sticker on my laptop and cut it up using exacto knife to match the laptop's shape/corners. It's decent while the sticker still in there, but when I peel it off it left a really nasty residue from the adhesive. I wouldn't want that kind of residue on my old G1, let alone on my soon to come N1. but then again, maybe you got better/newer ones that won't stick as bad.

Just my 2 cents.

P.S.

I also have full body clear shield for N1 from Bestskinsever that I haven't install yet since I'm still waiting for my N1 to come. I could try scanning that for you if you want but I don't know how good my scanner can differentiate the actual clear shield with its white background. PM me for details

THANX TO TEAM XDA !

I was wondering what went wrong d day wen i rebooted my device.

I was screwed with an error message "microp error please update ur firmware"

googled a lot before ending up with team XDA.

came to know its a software problem, i cleared storage, updated a rom but nothing worked. finally i read xda instructions, i went to d nearest mobile store n explained everything. (since i dont have tools to disassemble my device at home) d service man did d job n i got my htc diamond working !

he just charged 100 rupees, htc service center wud have definitely asked much more than that !

thanks to xda ! but d lesson i learnt is "NEVER DROP/THROW UR HTC"

Hi Siddharthsai,

I have a screen problem but a bit more unique. The touch screen can work for a while if I leave it alone but after using the phone for a while, the screen does not work. If I were walk around with the phone, the screen will not work.

The buttons all can work and the phone can function for programs that can be controlled by the buttons. I am wondering if the problem is the same as yours in terms of connection problem.

Appreciate your advise on this.

Thanks.

@ ja_zzz7

Have you tried Hard reset? Hold down the volume key and press the reset key and power button . Backup your data using PIM backup before doing this... let me know if its coming again..waiting for your reply.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ja_zzz7:
I have done the hard reset using the volume down/enter and reset button. I have reached the screen where I have to press on the cross hair and is stuck here as the touch panel is not able to click on the exact spot as it is always clicking to the bottom left. The same thing happened when I tried hard reset using "clear all data and format" but have to wait for a while until the screen can work.

After that the screen problem came back again. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:

Sorry for the late reply. had some work.

Is you battery low? just turn off your device and charge until its full . this happens mostly when you use duplicate charger . try charging with htc original charger ( borrow it from a frnd ) ...charge it fully and hard reset. Tell me if it works... by the way are you having an Indian version of diamond? ( 2G) ?

Let me know.:)

Guess what! My problem is solved. Did a hard reset yesterday but was stuck at the cross hair allignment as the screen was not responding. Left the phone overnight and could complete the allignment the next morning. After rebooting, the touch screen was jammed again.

Try flicking the screen with my finger a few times and managed to move from page to page and after flicking many times, the touch screen recovered and has been OK for the past 10 hours.

Guess one of the solutions for those who have intermittent problem is to flick your screen top and bottom. Guess the pressure must have connected any loose joints. I am a happy guy today :o)

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 and I am getting the Microp error. The phone is not covered by warranty so looks like I may have to attempt to fix it myself.

I notice your tutorial deals with the Diamond - Any idea how to fix a Touch Pro 2?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
@ above

Bro . Microp error comes because of the connectors. Since this is a slightly bulky , twice as big as diamond and has a slide out keypad , i suggest you to take it to a guy who knows to remove and fix things back.. ( not service center ) .. he'll charge you probably 200-300 bucks...just tell him to reassemble it back. Let me know...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:

Bro..

hold your stylus under the longer connector and then press

. Since both are underneath , its little tricky to get things done . make sure you connect those black thin wires ( 2 in number ) back .. ( with a round tip )

Make sure everything is in position and then let me know.

Finally it is becoming "official way" to solve this problem.

In fact this method was already suggested by someone else last year. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3779832&postcount=1

but I guess since he didn't mention about "how-to" open the diamond, no one was willing to do it. Maybe I was the only one who did that... :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3961361&postcount=11

Anyhow, two thumbs up for the OP. For the guidance and willingness to help others.

btw, I think the MicroP error is the hardware faulty, because it happens quite often to my Diamond, like once every 1-2 month. Anyway because of this I can dis/re-assemble htc diamond in less than 5 mins... hehehe...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] siddharthsai:
@ boje

Its def. the hardware.. from the day i fixed my diamond its running fine coz when i fixed it back i wrapped the connector part with a strong cello tape. A small rumble is enough for the connectors to come apart...

I found this out sitting with my diamond for more than 40 hrs.. i made a tutorial coz nothing is more frustrating than this.. believe me!! Now ppl needn't search too much for the solution.
