[Hero, G2 Touch General] deech:
No I firured if connected via Wi-Fi at home then it'll just pump down the dsl I was more wondering if they push it OTA via the mobile network... 50meg is a lot of data on some of the dumb rates they have here (UK) where unlimited means (about) 500meg :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
??? I'm not aware of any networks that charge by time connected for 3G/Edge connections. Whilst there may well be a handful that do, it certainly isn't the general case, which is generally flat rate (often with a fair use limit) or by the kb.

In general though, for OTA updates to other HTC Android phones (e.g. G1, Nexus One etc), you should get a notification saying that an update is available to download - you can then choose to download when is convenient (e.g. when connected to a WiFi network).

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bluesax:
You're right, i meant the "amount" of connection generally charged by KBs.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deech:
u-hu that makes sense and thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dan330:
since all the 2.1 ROMs are about 90-100Mb...

My guess the OTA will be that size too.

I am also guessing it will not be charged. I am on Sprint and if we call sprint for support... it is not charged to our minutes. Also there are customers that do not have any data plans on their phones.

I will guess then, if OTA is sent out to all phones, the carriers will do so at no charge to clients.

I have been know to be wrong! :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
How can a provider give a ota update through wifi? Since when you turn on wifi and use that connection you're not connected through the (gsm providers) network connection.

What I mean is the provider will need some kind of identification to send it to hero only, how is it possible to get that through my network @ home?

Remember the update will come from the providers, not from htc (or at least no messages saying it won't be ota)

I was wishing to make my top and bottom bars transparent, but I could not find any solutions to this for my current OS version (5.2.21898.5.0.91)...Could anyone help me or at least we could work together on it? I am currently a beginner/intermediate programmer and would be able to do something that required such...

Not trying to be rude but ... this thread was 4th or 5th from the top when you posted and is in the same forum you posted in .. WVGA & VGA!! BG4ALL + True trans task & menu-bars in Sense 2.5 ... BOTH ORIENTATIONS

This was the 3rd thread from the top RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT & HACKING -- (Must Read Before Posting)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pupakota:
i can recommend using theme for 6.5 - just system way, not ham3rs method for that build.

21898 is 6.5 line and transparencies are available by using 6.5 tsk.

you will avoid potential problems that can emerge with ham3rs method(that was made for COOKS and for 6.1 mainly).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] erebusting:
Thanks for all that, but I have to say - I did search for that! Honestly, and I found a few threads which methods did not help for me and I read peoples comments after which stated they had the same OS ver. as me and were having problems -also with no one helping them figure it out, so no solution..and thus I did not want to even try it on my phone...also another method I found mentioned several OS versions and did not include mine... also with people commenting as I have said.... so please do not think that I do not use the search function -believe me that is the function I use the most! Honestly!...

Now I know I did not check all that were available, but maybe a few must have slipped my eyes (I was on my phone at the time also switching back and forth between apps trying different things)...so please forgive me..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] erebusting:
sorry if I sound like a noob...but what do you mean by '6.5 tsk'... and also what do you mean by 'using theme for 6.5 -just system way..."

thanks but no luck with those links, they are out dated and refer to older windows mobile os's ....

I thought this would be something simple to do , esp seeing all this wonderful development going on here, but now it seems as though either no one cares to make the bars transparent -or they are settling with creating the wallpaper to be cut to pieces (one for the top bar, one for the main screen and one piece for the bottom bar)...which is not making it transparent, but it has the effect..just when you switch wallpapers you have to do the whole process again...

please someone advise me, there has to be a solution out there somewhere... =\

[Desire General] bbolgar:
Hello all,

I've bought my Desire on Thursday, (owned a Hero previously) and love it really, as you may expect. However found two things which are quite annoying:

1, Even thought the vibrate when typing option is switched off, the phone is still vibrating when "entering a name or number" in the phone part (where you can dial your contacts)

2, After sleeping, the WiFi connection seems to come back, but both the 3g connection icon and the WiFi is up, but neither works. It will only work if I disable mobile internet (and then WiFi activates normally).

Anyone met with these issues so far?
[Desire General] mbrouns:

Accessing Android over WiFi seems to give issues too...

I'd love to be able to assign a different default keyboard to different programs. For instance I'd like to have the swype keyboard automatically load when I'm using email, but the Full Qwerty keyboard when I'm using my Drug Guide.

Just a thought. Maybe someone with the skills will be intrigued enough to work on it.
[Legend General] dsymbol:
Hi all,

1. How do you copy & paste certain text with Android?

2. How do you take note? or you just have to use Voice Recorder?

I'm quite disappointed with the Legend/Android for its basic functions of making call; taking note while making call; copy & paste; Sending contact by SMS (have to send via MMS).

It's funny that I've been so comfortable with winmo & laughing at the Iphone's inferior features.

Now the iphone users can laugh at me!!!

just my 2cent
[Legend General] jmkhenka:
1. You just hold the finger over the text you want to select, then copy it or use the small thingys to select more text. Easy as pie!

If you hold over a word and get a popup you can search the word on google, wikipedia and translate the word/sentence.

For notes you can download a notepad application from market free, there is several to pick from.

---

there is an application on market thats named "note pad" or search for "andronotes".

This is a simple app to make notes and e-mail them.

if you want to take a note during a call, just press the "home" button and open the application, just as you would do on winmo.

----

and in apps not inside sense, you can just press and hold on the text and "select text". then use the triangle or the scrollwheel/optical scroll to select the word and then press and copy/cut.
[Legend General] dsymbol:
Hi jmkhenka, in my messages, if I press my finger on any word, it auto highlights the whole message & gives me the Message options. There's no Copy. The only thing closest to copy the message is Forward.

In Winmo, during a call, I only have to pull out the Stylus & the Note will pop up to let me take note.

I will look into that app that you recommend.

Thanks for your time jmkhenka.

Hi,

My Desire's screen rotates perfectly when I rotate the phone from portrait to landscape, with the buttons facing to the right.

However, when I then rotate phone back to portrait, the screen doesn't rotate itself. If I go back to the home screen and launch the app again it displays in portrait mode. This occurs in all applications I've tried (Internet browser, Maps, Mail). I've recalibrated the g-sensor numerous times but this doesn't help.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Thanks,

Noggin

[Desire General] Chris_1972:
Hi,

I have the same problem, except it won't rotate from portrait to landscape. Did a factory reset which worked, re installed all previous apps, rotate still worked fine. Battery ran out and turned itself off, charged it overnight, turned it on this morning, and the rotate problem is back, ie no rotation.

Will do another factory reset, but this time I'll be selective over the apps I reinstall in case it has anything to do with one of those - what do you think? Could it be a software issue relating to an app???

[Desire General] dahmmy:

I just wanted to let you all know of my experience with this case.

I first of all loved the slim and almost unnoticeable protection the Barely there case offered but after 2 removals it has damaged the rubberised coating on the corners of the HD2.

Not only this, with the Barely There case you'll find it hard to get a suitable desktop stand to use with it.

Good idea but some serious shortfalls.

I'm now going to write them an email and vent some frustrations out on them :)

You have been warned :p
[Touch CDMA Android Development] r3ddrag0nx:
I've recently purchased an HTC Vogue (Bell) and wasn't recommended to stray to Android ROMs as this is really my first time around, however, I was really impressed by the themes and how clean the interface looked.

I am currently on WM 6.1 and contemplating updating to 6.5+ or to Android. Some problems about 6.1 that I really didn't like were: the SMALL keyboard, bland looking threaded txt msgs, inability to play youtube (among other video/audio files) out the box.

I'd love to give Android a go, but wouldn't know where to start (must have apps/games, familiarity with OS, etc).

Any suggestions and help would be awesome.

Who recommended you not "stray" to android roms? They must be crazy....:p. Honestly, from your dislikes of winmo, you will LOVE android, trust me. It has gotten to the point where it seems almost native to the device. I would look up tatnai's FAQ and try the sdcard/haret method just to get a good feel so you're not committed to a full flash. But I guarantee you'll be wanting to go to a full flash within no time. :)

If you just want to try Android out, run it off of your SD card. Once you're ready to permanently move to Android, then you can install it to NAND. Keep in mind it's a bit laggier off of the SD card and the battery performance is worse.

Well, it can play youtube videos. Divx and avi (not too sure about).

Personally, this is why i switched to android:

Apps! Apps! Apps!

Widgets and icons

Fast and fluid interface

Its modern and up to date

Vogue Community seems to be shifting android (personal gut feeling)

Not having to worry about customizing my phone as much as i did with windows mobile.

Subtle android features that windows mobile on vogue doesnt have (i.e. animation when you open and close apps, slide down notification curton, web based apps )

Android is Perfect for My everyday use

Taking Higher resolution/ better quality pictures.

Can I use a 4GB card to try Android from SD on a Bell Vogue (XV6900?) or do I require a 2GB micro sd card?

I have been doing so much reading, I am getting confused...easy to confuse an old guy!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
you can install android with any sd card, but you can only flash a rom from sd card with a 2gb size and lower.

if you do just a haret run then you don't need to unlock, however when you install to NAND you do have to unlock it inorder to flash a rom

I'll give Android a go from a dual boot using a 4GB microsd. I think I will probably like it as still running a stock WM 6.1. So I may have to grab a 2GB card and try the flash method.

So, if I reboot it will boot to WM correct? And then to get in to Android, I need to run Haret? But not install, if it is already installed, just let it boot?
