I upgraded to WM 6.5 (OS 5.2.21889..., Manila 2.5.2012...ROM 2.04.651.1) recently on my HTC Touch Pro2 from Sprint. I may be somehow overlooking it, but I cannot find a way to directly choose the Notes application. I can use File Browser to open a note that was entered during my WM 6.1 days, but I just cannot find a way to open the Notes application first.

Hi Guys, Had my Desire a couple of days now, contract with TMobile, UK and so far not once have I ever been able to receive a full 3g or H connection. I have travelled a radius of five miles around my home, still no joy. Connects to wifi ok but can only receive g signal out and about,making data and internet painfully slow as to become unuseable. My phone is connected to mobile network in settings. I am seriously considering returning phone under 7 day policy if this persists. Any solutions would be much appreciated.

Other phones with other carriers in my area work ok and according to TMobile web coverage checker states I live in good reception area.

Cheers.

It's possible your sim is faulty happened to my mum when she got her diamond
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Try a different handset when they get them instore, might be a device fault.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Check your coverage? Make sure phone settings are set to dual and not just GSM only. I get none at work or home whatsoever. But the coverage checker tells me this anyway.
[Desire General] Bandare:
Probably a stupid question but have you been on the T-Mobile website and put in your postcode to check the coverage in your area>?

Incase you haven't: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/services/coverage/street-check/

Hope that helps...
[Desire General] pee_cee:
and obviously make sure you have 3g on your account?

I'm with orange, and was told i only had a 2g sim card. it took 3 different customer service people until one agreed to send a new 3g one. Not a problem since.
[Desire General] Cr4zyB4st4rd:
I had a very similar issue.

For the first 2 days i had my handset, it picked up no 3G or H data ATALL. Like you travelled around in about 5/6 mile radius and got nothing. I called up and cancelled, no one told me why or how it could happen, so i proceeded to cancel.

The next morning, i picked the handset up as i was going out, and to my surprise there it was sitting on 3G. Now the night before, i played with just about every setting under Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks, Network Mode/Network operators, always-on mobile connection, the lot. Took the sim out, rebooted the phone. messing with those options, or possibly turning them on or off for a specific amount of time may have affected my phone.

The same day i poped into a T-Mobile store where the woman told me hat it could have been down to the SIM not being fully activated, incase a postman stole it for whatever reason.. However, once i got back home i called T-Mobile up again, to cancel the cancelation, which was easy as pie. I told him what i was told in-store he looked up my account and said nothing should have changed as it should have been good to go from the 26th (i received it 29th). I had also noticed just before calling T-Mobile, that 150 from my mobile phone would not connect to T-Mobile, because of that the guy on the phone reset some stuff on ym account their end, told me to reboot my phone, and since then, i've had 3G/H flawlessly and 150 works without problem.

Maybe give them a call and they can help you. Or play with those settings like mad.
[Desire General] NutsyUK:
I should say ive had randon data drop outs and disconnections even in good signal areas not sure if its normal or my sim or phone
[Desire General] Joshseadog:
Hi Guys, Thanks for the input. Problem now solved, TMobile re sent connection settings down to my phone, now solid 3g or H around my area except indoors or close to my house. Now very happy, am now starting to love this phone.

a quick search in damages.thread (which i hate doing, his threads fill so fast.and questions get buried, right along with the answer) gave me the same conclusion. but the fact is, i want a constant trackball led, and im sure if people had the option, more people would want it too. most view it as a minimal bug, so dont bother. i guess, for me, the other bugs are so minimal that the trackballs led has become the biggest issue.

could someone please help? i spend alot of time on here helping as much as i can, id really appreciate it if someone with the same desired goal could devote some time to it. id be willing to help in any manner.

Trackball Alert

There's a dude from the uk that builds an app for N1 that brings the ability to choose your own color and rate of the trackball lite. Try to send him an email see if he wants to jump in. The app is called Trackball alert. Its says its only for the N1 though.

Hope you can find a solution.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
yeah ive seen the app. i will make sure to do that, i hope the brits want to help.

im sure us on xda.could find a solution, however.

i really hope sprint doesnt plan on releasing 2.1 like this. id be sorely disappointed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
Believe me, I understand what it's like to have a feature that's important to me and nobody else seems to care about. We all paid good money for these phones, and continue to pay good money every month for service, so I think that gives us each the right to at least ask about the things that we care about. (Well, unless you're trying to use Sprint VVM instead of GV. That's just plain dumb.....)

As far as the trackball light behavior goes, I think your probably screwed. That's something that will most likely have to be changed in the source code of whatever is controlling it. That seems to me like something that's probably coded in at a very low level of the OS itself. (Well, not the OS, actually. The OS is Linux. But it's probably hardcoded into the Android framework.)

As good a job as the rom devs on xda do, it's not like they're actually creating this software. They're just taking what others have created and packaging it in a way that works on our phones. My guess is that the people who can make the change you're asking for work in HTC's offices...

As far as the different colors, good luck. There's a reason that tweak only works on the N1. It's the only phone that has different colored LEDs back there to light up. You can be the best programmer in the world, but you still can't turn on a red light if the only light available is white......
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
i exchanged a pm woth regaw, who is working closely with damage in building and testing the leaks. he seems fairly certain its a matter of messing with an xml file. lets cross our fingers for more information.

anyone have any clue what.xml file defines when and how the tb lights up?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subliminalurge:
That could be, too. Will be cool if it is. I'm still working on getting a full understanding of the Android framework, but that could be in an xml file now that I think about it.

That said, I stand by my point that these guys aren't exactly writing software from scratch. There comes a point where they can only do so much with the programs that they're repackaging.

Once that point is reached, it's really not fair or realistic to ask them to do much more until the real developers release new software and it gets leaked again.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
i comletely understand what you mean, and whole heartidly agree. damage is getting these leaks from someone and simply modifying for beytter performance, and working out the bugs sprint hasnt quite got ironed out yet.

but!

originally, these 2.1 roms were based on the eris and legend leaks, meaning the devs have a sound understanding of taking the given software and rewriting it to work on the sprint network/our hardware

it can be done, a simple edit of an xml file, and if we team up, i see no reason it couldnt be done, and rather easily at that.

i dp regret i have no knowledge in this regard, but i know its a patch alot of peoe would jump on and definatly appreciate. damage and all the rest are artists, maybe its time we give baxk, ya know? i wish i could be more of a help, but for.now, all i can do it bring the devs together in hopes to make a speedy and stable patch.

if any devs are reading this, i just want you to know us here at xda do appreciate your work, and i hope us joes.can give back in someway.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robchaos:
correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think Damaged2.15 even touches those portions of the OS. I think you should be looking in the /system/lib/hw/ folder.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
okokokok, let me take a look

:D!!!!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robchaos:
I think that there are conflicts within there. most of those files are self explanitory, but what are the gralloc.default.so and gralloc.msm7k.so libs? IIRC the droid guys had keyboard issues and those files were included in the fix, so its possible they affect the lighting in some way. I don't think we can pull those files though, it didn't seem to want to boot after that. I think gralloc also has to do with opengl.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
dammit, i was just trying to sleep.

i was told the file we need is an xml file, and i dont see any in there. HOWEVER; i do see lights.msm7k.so

and sensors.goldfish.so/sensors.heroc.so

which one should i look at first?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
i was wondering what those two were also...no idea

i DO know the file we need to fix is xlm file...should be just a change of a command (or perhaps an addon) but i dont see a single xlm in the entire system/ folder...

suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robchaos:
I think there are conflicts within the system libraries. You'd have to figure out which file is affecting it and somehow edit it out of the XML.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
i guess what i dont understand is this:

this rom is supposed to be based off a true, 100% sprint cdma hero rom, right? how can there be conflicts? i understand bugs, but this latest release offers the closest trackball fix since 1.5. there should be one xml telling the libs what to do, right (very noob at this, first time stripping a rom down, but the xml directs it all right) so in theory, in that xml, theres a command telling the button backlights to be light dependant, to respond to the sensor, to become...light sensitive.

thats what i understand, some PLEASE tell me if im wrong, i truely have no idea

point being, if we can find and pull that specific xml, and edit it too make the button leds touch responsive and not light, then push back in, and its a whammy.

ok, so assuming im right and not making a complete ass out of myself, then if the button backlights are stemming from system/lib/hw, then we need the.xml file controlling that part of the os, right? there shouldnt be conflicts, it shod just be telling the os to respond differently.

where is this xml?!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
I'm personal resource limited right now. The procedure would be to set up the phone in the emulator (sdk - adb) and set a breakpoint on the /sys/class/leds/jogball-backlight or even lower level [cause it could be a kernel function doing an auto implementation of 2.1's class 9 stuff ( vs 1.5's class 3)]. Then logcat to find how what ever hit the trackball , was triggered.

OR-

use quick system info from market, to dump the log file; after first having watched the trackball light do something of concern.

So I'm vicariously watching =:-(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robchaos:
But you also shouldn't forget that I might be the one making an ass of MYSELF! I honestly have no idea if its a lib conflict or an xml issue, I just figure that the more people we have looking in either direction, the better a chance we will actually find something. We also have to remember that this still isn't a final sprint release. This is based off a tester rom. While we might get most things working, the things we are having issues with are probably the things sprint has been having issues with too.

I remember reading somewhere that the G1 has the similar led and lighting the hero. Don't they have 2.0 roms with all the lights working?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
great idea! use the tb, and watch where android is pulling from....a definate start. the perfect test being the one posted on the first page, second post; place my finger over the led, watch the jogball light up...remove my finger and lay it under light to watch it turn off.

itll at least give us a directory to start looking in, right?

amazing idea, and thanks! kudos aand credits to you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
regaw seemed sure it was an xml file. say i find the xml, is someone advanced enough to decipher and edit?

man people have the sense ui running *on the g1* smoother than on our phones...bastards.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robchaos:
all I get from logcat when changing light levels so the trackball will light up is this:

D/PowerManagerService( 97): New lightsensor value:225, lcdvalue:81

Nothing else.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
no directory, but a start. ever hear of powermanagerservice? perhaps ots a system apk...ill post my dump in my next update, along with my search result for power manager service in root explorer

its a solid start guys.

you rock.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willy900wonka:
There are at least two possibilities,

1) some other low level non logging process is sitting on lightsensor either directly as a polling agent or via an interupt.

2) if the lcd does not change with the lightsensor, lcsvalue could be a bit mapped field.

You need the source from sdk of the powermanagementservice and grep (search) for lightsensor and lcdvalue.

It will tell you where they come from. Look there.

or find a powermanagement which works and find the differences bewteen the two. I would not replace one for the other because it could screw with a lot of stuff.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mountaindont:
no point in posting my dump, its the same thing: confirmed, however, lcsvalue does change and vary. is there a more pwerful loger to maybe catch what is pulling? an entire search for powermanagerservice in root explorer brought up nothing...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastcfh:
ok heres my input. if i were u and i was looking to keep the jogball light on all the time or do whatever it is u want it to. the best place to start in my opinion would be aosp source. i would head into /hardware/msm7k and give a shot at building a new lights.msm7k.so. in doing that u will have the abillity to add flashing functions, on all the time functions, and anyother lights funtion u could think of. this lib is the lib that controls all those functions and the code isnt very hard to read and understand. with that though this is how me, quietcblongs, and maejrep got sensors working in eclair with .27 kernel drivers. in doing that we were forced because of lack of kernel source, to build a new sensors.heroc.so. once we built the lib all was good. i wont say this is gonna be easy but i do believe it could be easier. but this is also from my point of view as im not a app dev. anyhow hope it helps and i got the purpose of this thread right. good luck :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmartburrito:
Spoken with true wisdom Toast!

While I'm not an expert, I WOULD call myself an app dev. I would strongly suggest doing it at a hardware/driver level rather than programmatically/app level.

We don't know how the SDK functionality might change in the future. Of course, when the OS is concerned, we always want to preserve existing functionality, but if you go the software route, you MIGHT have to make some changes down the road. Typically, hardware level drivers won't change too much, so that's why I would recommend going with Toast's approach as well.

I can definitely assist in the Android App development part, but I haven't ventured too much into the hardware and drivers as of yet. I'm interested though, and knowledge-hungry, so let me know if I can help at all!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastcfh:
yeah even though triggering the jogball light from a app is pretty easy. ur still dealing with an app that has to run and check everytime u turn the backlight on to trigger the jogball light. u can echo 1 to the jogball trigger and a 255 to brightness with ease. but like i said itll end up being another useless app running all the time in the backgroung. constantly checking to see if the light is on or off. it would be much less of a hassle and resource hog to just take the time to rewrite lights.msm7k.so. as it would just work as u desire out the box on boot with the proper triggers and values being sent to ur desired microp from the get go. but yeah look in the aosp source u will find all ur tools needed to do this and as it may be a pain it would also pay off majorly once u finished. i mean u can add alot of function through the drivers with ease. like adding a pulsing jogball while charging like the eris, or jogball flashing for notifications. it can all be done in there.
