[Hero CDMA General] Costa276:
Just took a quick glance at the three iTag/lifehacker, Wavesecure & MobileDefense. Is MobileDefense the only one that has free features on it?
[Hero CDMA General] scirio:
mobiledefense is the ****. And the devlopers support custom roms.
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
I second/third/fourth Mobile Defense.

Here's why...

1) When installed as a system app on a rooted device it will automatically turn on GPS to get an accurate location whereas wavesecure will NOT turn on GPS and only use the cell tower location which is not accurate.

2) Their support forum is FANTASTIC, they support custom ROMs and are aware of those ROMs out there and any problems associated with them. I had a few issues at first (none of which was mobile defense's fault) and they had everything resolved in a few hours.

3) Their GPS ping time is very fast. Instead of just sending a signal every minute, its more like every 10 seconds.

4) No international SMS charges like with Wave Secure (although I know wave secure is getting a US gateway soon, still...)

5) The upgrades they have planned are superb (just check out their site)
[Hero CDMA General] schizopunk:
Sorry for the n00b question but how do I install MobileDefense as a system app on my rooted Hero?
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
adb push MobileDefenseNameHere.apk /system/app
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
that wont work...

Put the com.neevo.mobiledefense.apk in your ADB tools folder

adb shell

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 777 /system/app

exit

exit

adb push com.neevo.mobiledefense.apk /system/app

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /system/app

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

reboot

Done.
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
I disapprove of the program.

Why you ask?

Becuase it has an i as the first letter in name, and it is then followed by a verb which is then captilized.

Reason why they didn't call our phone the iHero is because it sounds stupid. Hence why apple has the iPhone.
[Hero CDMA General] doojer:
Another Mobiledefense user here. Great program. Excellent for tracking your kids. :cool:
[Android] jubeh:
From the get-go, I can see that both this section of the forum (and the WinMo section too) will get cluttered with questions, making finding actual reference material hard among the sea of questions.

I suggest that, while the Chef Central is on it's infancy, for the WinMo and Android sections to be split into WinMo Cooking Reference/WinMo Cooking Q&A and Android Cooking Reference/Android Cooking Q&A.

It'd also help if threads identify themselves as to the matter they'll cover, for example [Java Tutorial], [Building AOSP], [ROM Porting], or even [XXXX Subject Q&A session] where the OP takes questions from member about a particular subject and tries to clear up questions about a single particular subject.

Following the same format for the "Cooking Q&A" (questions about Java development, AOSP building, etc) would help too.
[HD2 General] Galactus:
So basically my one button headset would play/pause with a single tap, whilst two taps would automatically call the last person i spoke to. However I wanted to be able to skip to a different song with two presses.

Tried play/pause app to skip to next song....didnt work, tried HTCButton....didnt work.

However when i combined the two....it worked brilliantly, long press of my button still activates voice commander too. Tried this on 3 HD2's with diff headsets (my friends) and it worked, hopefully it will work on yours too.

Install Play/Pause 3.1 To Device Memory

Soft Reset

Open Up Play/Pause and pick AudioManager

At This Point When I Double Tapped My Button It Stopped Doing The Automatic Call....This Showed Play/Pause Did Something

Install HTCButton

DONT Soft Reset (For some reason the whole process failed everytime I Soft Resetted At This Point)

Open Up HTCButton, Pick Audio Controller Manager and change play/pause to Skip To Next Track Trying To Skip To Previous Doesnt Work

Exit, now go to audio player and a double tap of your single button headset SHOULD skip to next track. Goodluck :cool:

Edit: Single press should still be play & pause
[HD2 General] Kev007:
i haven't had the luck you've had :(

the process worked before i re-flashed my device but no longer. i'll try again one last time...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CrazyEye:
Yeah I got a text from my iPhone friend bragging about it but I told him to get 2.1 then brag.

It would be cool to have iPhone on G1 but I don't see that coming at all.

English plz?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JAguirre1231:
Or to get that running as fast as it is on the G1. Sad that it runs slower...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Christopher3712:
It's amusing, but...

This isn't Development. It would be more fitting in the General section. Sorry to be a buzz-kill, but this kind of stuff usually gets people flamed.

(for the record, iPhone can suck it.)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] CrazyEye:
I could see the iPhone getting faster on Android once more devs look at it and piece it together. It has to be possible to port iPhone to Android to bad I have no development skills or I would give it a go.

Yeah I was going to flame him originally but so many people post in the wrong section I just give up and let a mod take care of it >.<

I second the Suck it to iPhone. It would be just something to have to make iPhone fan boys stfu.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wcdisciple:
If you believe something is in the wrong section, is it not easier to just ignore the post? Or must you, inform people they're posting in the "wrong" section? What's the big deal. Read what's written, if it holds no interest for you, keep it movin. If you find it interesting, and you "believe" it's in the wrong section, keep it movin. What's hard about that? Ur the type to report **** is in the wrong sections as you come across stuff aren't you? :D People like you are Computer Commandos. :D Leave the Moddin 2 da MODS.

Thanks. Take Care.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xile6:
Im sorry but android is far better then iphone os and this is coming from a person that paid about $4000 in mac stuff
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wcdisciple:
That's kinda tight right there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xftox:
haha

I love how people say the iphone sucks yet really what can android do that iphone can't they can Run our os cydia is the best thing ever better battery huge memory way more reliable awsome music player awsome gaming better keyboard haha list goes on and on
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ivanmmj:
This is not G1 nor Development related (not directly as it's just news) so I moved it to the general android forum.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ownjoouk:
Multi task!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xftox:
Haha it actually can with an aop called multi flow and 4.0 will have it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JAguirre1231:
Cydia: We don't need another Market when ours doesn't reject things.

Battery- Really? Have you EVER used a Nexus?

Memory- That is, until you fill it up

Music Player- No doubt, Android is getting better ones but the iPhone's is still top notch

Gaming- That's what happens when you're a year ahead of the competition, but yes, I feel it has better games (Even if I don't play any)

Batter Keyboard- This is subjective, the ONLY thing I feel it has Android beaten in is responsiveness (And this is due to the touchscreen, not the actual keyboard)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xftox:
If not cydia rock millions of free apps once hacked u can't fill up the memory my wife a 16 gig and hsnt filled up half her memory with all the movies music and apps the keyboard is more responsive millions of themes everything an android can do so can iphone I wish there a way to flash roms on an iphone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JAguirre1231:
I don't see why having the phone hacked or not gives more memory, it was 16gb before and after. Well, when someone has 1000's of songs, the 16gb fills up rather quickly, so just because she has over half left doesn't mean everyone does.

You tend to have more things when you are tending to a larger user base, so having millions of themes is nice, but you're only ever going to use one at a time.

I still don't see why cydia and rock are being brought into this, they're a market for things that were/will be rejected from the App store the Android Market does NOT suffer from this (Except in things like pornography or malicious/illegal items).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ace42:
All I know is that this is good news for many and I hope development continues, I like the Iphone OS very much including android and winmo 7.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nighthawk626:
the day i get an iphone is the day it multitasks, has real keyboard, lets me watch porn when my girl is being stingy and selfish with her vagina, on top of it all... run an android os. sooo in the words of my good man :"iphone can suck iiiiiiiit"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Blackman778g:
Why are you defending that iCraP!!..................

Just playing but, why compare Iphone/touch to Android... Android will always come out on top.... and if you don't like Android why not get an IPhone...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] spireite70:
I agree .I have a Touch HD and an Iphone 3GS both are good phones being made better by the developers on here and people over at Devteam. It seems a little immature to be slagging one off against another :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MooGoo:
If you want a phone that can play music, videos, and games, I'll grant than an iPhone is your best bet.

If you want a phone with a large high-res screen, hardware keyboard, expandable storage, TRUE multi-tasking, as well as an impressive bag of tricks (tethering, WiFiRouter, etc.) that can be had without voiding your warrantee, the iPhone would certainly not fit the bill.

Just saying that there are plenty of things an iPhone cannot do, even with jailbreaking. The day some mad dev manages to port iPhone OS to an HTC keyboard phone, I will gladly eat my words. Until then, enjoy your iPhone for what it is, a Portable Media Player. The rest of us will keep happily haxing away on our Mini Computers.
[Droid Incredible General] td2xda:
I travel to China and Mexico for business, will the new HTC Incredible work over there??
[Droid Incredible General] oneeyejack:
the incredible has cdma 800/1900 bands so it should work in those countries. those countries have the same bands but don't quote me on that.
[Droid Incredible General] sn95chico:
no it wont

the droid will not work over seas it need a gsm card in the back of it like blackberrys have and it does not

its a cdma phone and will not work over seas sorry
[Droid Incredible General] deekjx:
CDMA is available in those countries but these devices don't support a R-UIM card. You would have to contact those carriers to have them add you to their network. I'm not sure how this would work if you are still under contract with Verizon. The easiest solution is to carry and unlocked GSM phone with you when you travel and use prepaid cards.

Edit: I forgot about Roaming. if you want to pay roaming charges you can roam there. Here is the CDMA roaming table with costs.
[Droid Incredible General] deekjx:
That is incorrect. See this table.
[Droid Incredible General] vic20-ian:
cdma phones are limited to 40 countries, nothing in Europe. Useless to import this phone for use in the uk.

I have tried wiping and re-flashing the DRC83 base and the CM rom, also tried the fix_permissions script, also tried uninstalling and re-installing the Aldiko app, nothing will let me see the existing books on the SD card, and i dont want to download them again.

anyone know how to get them back?
[G1 General] nmw407:
Try this:

hook up the phone to your computer, and mount the sd card.

find the folder called eBooks.

In there you'll see subfolders for your authors, and in there you'll see subfolders again for each of the books.

Grab the .epub files and place it in your import folder (eBooks/import/)

Then in Aldiko, import the books again. They'll all be there.

You can do this through Astro, etc, but if you have a bunch of books, it's easier to do it in Windows Explorer on your computer.

[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Ok, someone who knows android better than me, please help me out.. Yesterday I got a CPU usage widget, and I was observing my CPU usage for about a minute.. I saw it change as I flicked through screens, but when I stopped - CPU dropped to 1-2% and CPU clock automatically dropped to 200-something.

Today, after a reboot, it's always at 10-15% CPU, running at 998MHz all the time. Launching a CPU usage app, I see that Launcher is constantly at 20-40% CPU usage, next one being Android System at 5%.

Is launcher the app drawer? Or the screens? And why is it taking up so much CPU at all times? I can tell it greatly affects my battery today, in comparison to yesterday, when it was way lower.

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] pikipirs:
The Launcher process is the process that shows when you touch the Home button. By default it includes 5 home screens and the application drawer.

My best guess would be that the widget you added is using the CPU. Try removing the widget and reboot to see if Launcher is still high on the CPU usage list.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Bah, why didn't I think of that. Thanks, I'll try that out.

Update: Nope, it seems the CPU meter app isn't part of the Launcher process. After wipe, launcher doesn't even show in the list of processes anymore. Obviously, I use the screens and the app drawer, but Launcher isn't running.

Wondering what the hell that was.

If it's anything like the BB and iPhone apps, you get to pay an extra monthly charge, despite how many radios you may already pay for. Total waste of money because of the extra charge and limited number of channels available.

Sirius internet streaming worked on WM and the now defunct BB beta test of Skyfire. so that will solve that problem. in the meantime, you can stream sirius to your android phone with the Orb Live app and this plug-in for your pc http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/...streamer-supporting-both-sirius-xm-radio.html (this is the replacement for uSirius for those who remember that app that Sirius shut down)

Regarding Howard, you can find him live on any Android streaming music app that has a Shoutcast search. Use your skills and you'll find him

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] breezy169:
dont worry i made that mistake once also.

just try wiping and flashing something else.

and let it load in the mt3g screen. for some reason it takes a long time to load a rom after flashing a 32a rom on a 32b.

so i doubt your phone is messed up. mines is fine now
[Android Apps and Games] petsasj:
Hey guys,

I am in need of your help, obviously :D.

I have downloaded an app called FeebeRingtones. It works pretty good so far, apart from an annoying point.

You get the option to download some songs from it, which are apparently saved in the /sdcard/FeebeRings/mp3 folder. This annoys me because it essentially makes those downloaded mp3 ringtones playable from my media player.

What i want to do is edit the apk and make it save in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder. I've opened up the apk, and got to a file named file_save.xml. Thing is when i open that file up its content shows up as gibberish. I tried opening it with an xml editor (Open XML Editor 1.6) but still no luck at all.

Can anyone point me at the right direction, as to what program to use and edit it?

I am attaching the file_save.xml in case anyone wants to have a look and help me out.

Thank you very much for your time.

Hello, for about 2 weeks my gps has been working and has been taking a little bit longer than normal to lock. but thats not the problem.

the problem is when it does lock the position will be off by 1/4th mi to about 3 miles and its usually connected to 8 or 9 sats and says position within 10-20 meters

im not very good with the metric system but im pretty sure that 20 meters does not equal 3 miles and the little blue circle is not that big

and keep in mind this is outside clear weather and no big buildings around

i was wondering because i heard that there will be no more funding for the gps sats and would slowly start failing because they wont get the upgrades they need and also i heard about a month ago that there will be some big solar flares that could mess up the sats

another thing is using gps test. is showing that the sats that are connected are lower signal than they usually are. mostly in the yellow. but i see no reason for that...

this only started happening for about a week or 2.

anyone else having this problem? can a radio update fix this? if so which would be the best one for t mobile usa (link if you can)

Radio ver: 4.49.25.57

thanks for your support,

Darian
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ms0529:
turn off your agps, as it uses cell tower signals to locate you, and can over ride the gps signal you are getting. the agps is triangulating your position and is generally only accurate to 300 to 1300 meters.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dkdontforget:
i thought agps was only used to get a faster lock on the sats
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RaikoX92:
Hi all,

I've recently come across a post on this forum by member 'blutz', in which he was porting the morphgear for better use on the HTC HD2. However, following his steps proved harder than expected, and now I've run into some problems.

First of all, the skin he put on his website doesn't really load correctly: I've got the graphical buttons on the top part of the screen, and the bottom part is made up out of the corresponding key sections (colored circles).

Secondly, when loading a ROM, I get a tiny screen in the middle of the screen where the ROM plays. It reduces the ROM to a size of roughly 3 x 2 cm. This, of course, is unplayable and I think I've done something wrong...

Furthermore, when I try to press one of the buttons, the whole background picture moves up, and a standard layout of the buttons appears, not the skin.

It seems as if I've made a few mistakes in installing the morphgear, or I've got some settings wrong... Can somebody help me out here?

Much appreciated!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was at the gym working out and listening to music on my hero. A 45lb weight dropped and rolled right on the hero. I tried to turn it on the screen was a little cracked internally but can still see 85% of it.

The Problem:

When I turn it on it just sits at the first HTC screen, vibrates once and won't boot.

Ive tried soft and hard reset but nothing. The buttons/trackball does not light up.

Ive plugged it in to my computer and removable disc(f drive) recognizes something is plugged in. But when I click on it it says Please insert a disc into the f drive. The orange charge light on the hero does not light up either.

Im pretty sure the phone is done but if anyone has any suggestions let me know. Its about to go under the knife to see if I can see anything messed up internally.

thanks

Thats a bummer, man. At least its easy to take apart!

i wouldn't attempt to take it apart, just put it stock and request a refurbishment because that's what your gonna get and will probably have to pay the $100 to boot. :(

Day 1 in the OR....

Didn't see much, very little damage to the circuit board almost cant tell, but that little bit goes a long way. Went through poking everything like a dentist looking for a cavity. There was a loose solder, so keeping my fingers crossed.

After I put together, the LED indicator now lights up when its plugged in. Im going to let it sit to see if it gets to green.

Will update.

Thanks guys,

Btw: im using a blackberry as a backup, first non htc phone in the last 3 years. This thing kinda sucks
