btdag, poddo, adwinp thank you!

I've tried something from the Market, but there is much really useless "backup" software. Now I'll check this. ASTRO is good, I see.

But I don't remember Google pass :) Restored it once, but again don't remember.

adwinp, I have "tar: permission denied", so simple ADP access is not enough. Btw, ASTRO can't show /data contents - it's empty. So looks like this method not working in non-rooted Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
I understand what you're saying, but I think my guides are designed to avoid all the command typing if at all possible and provide really inexperienced users with the ability to do this stuff :) - try telling a newbie to "tar" something and "preserve file permissions" - they'll have no idea what you're on about :eek: - i'll add it in if I can find a newbie friendly way of writing it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rafynet:
AGREE with ABOVE

also, not sure about Bookmarks but

Phone History - (like call log) Call Logs backup and restore from the same dev as SMS Backup and Restore

what about

user dictionary? - that's one thing I can't figure how to backup still.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] btdag:
Does android have that feature? In the settings in 2.1 roms you can backup your user dictionary from there. Can someone check this on 1.5?

Edit: Ignore me, this is a feature of HTC_IME mod - though in theory if you could install that without needing root then you would have access to the backup features :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] poddo:
astro can only explore SD.

BTW you can use its backup function to save all the apps you have installed. backup apps, not apps data.

in astro go to tools, app manager, backup
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Foka002:
Yeah titanium backup is awesome BUT when it comes to restoring its not so good. It takes ages and need to press ok every app we wanna restore. It would be grate if we click once and it will install all of them!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cauli:
Then pay for it. The paid version does precisely that.
[Hero CDMA General] danaff37:
So according to this, the 2.1 ruu changes your pri to 2. 10. Blah, so could we run that, then install amon boot loader and nandroid restore to enable mns?

Hi there,

Recently had an epic trip (thanks to the volcano), left geotagging on for all photos, so I can see them dotted across a map of Europe.

Cant find any way of viewing them, I've tried uploading one to flickr, and it doesn't do anything automatically.

Is there something I need to do? Gotta say, the iphone geotagging feature is much better implemented...

Regards

niklz
[Desire General] alex101uk:
my bet is on picasa as it is googles own photo hosting. On my picasa I have a small google map on the bottom right of my home page with a mark on florida for the photos from last years warped tour and dundee from a random jaunt i went last summer =]

I assume this is exactly what yours would show up like if you uploaded them all.

Im actually going to go check see if this works...

Edit: ok i cannot get geotagging to work, full stop... not good.

Any light shed on the subject would be awesome
[Desire General] niklz:
Seconded, dying to see them.
[Desire General] bugmenever:
If you open the EXIF data (right click the photo in Windows Explorer, properties, details) there should be a 'GPS' section which has latitude and longitude coodinates if the geotagging info has been stored correctly...
[Desire General] paulruk:
Nothing wrong with geotagging here. Take photo, upload to flickr, view flickr, click add to map and the map is centred on the geotagged coordinates.

If you check the photo properties on flickr you should see the following

GPS Latitude:

GPS Longitude:

GPSAltitude Ref:	Above Sea Level

GPSAltitude:	79 m

GPSTime Stamp:	08:29:46

GPSMap Datum:	WGS-84

GPSProcessing Method:	HYBRID-FIX

[Desire General] paulruk:
Just tried it in picasa (desktop version), just uploaded photos direct from phone to web picasa. Then sync the desktop picasa to your web albums. You`ll see a small red icon in the bottom left (google maps). Click on places icon in the bottom right and a map will open showing your locations of your photos.

Or a really cool feature is to select all your photos, click the geotag icon at the bottom. It`ll open google earth and geotag all then you can see all your photos in google earth.
[Desire General] biemsy:
In your Flickr settings, enable "Import EXIF location data".
[Desire General] niklz:
Hmm, my photos don't seem to have any EXIF data on geo location :*((((.

I had GPS on obv, all I have done with the photos is copy them onto my hdd, using the HTC usb cable.

I have since replaced the phone, anything else I could try? Or has my old phone just cocked it up...

Regards

niklz
[Desire General] niklz:
Just tried same procedure with new phone, no luck.

Sorry to be a pain, but could you do an idiots guide.

What settings must be in affect on the phone/PC.

What method of getting photos to picasa/flickr insures the uploaded file isn't compressed e.c.t.

Would be very grateful, Let me check if this new photo has geotags in the EXIF data.

Regards,

niklz
[Desire General] niklz:
Bump, please cant get this to work atm...
[Desire General] paulruk:
I`m just uploading to flickr or picasa straight from the phone. Take photo, press share icon, send to my flickr/picasa account.

If you load into the pc they should be fine, but exif (geotag) data can be lost if you manipulate and resave the images in some software.

Also, on the Desire. Check the settings in camera has geotagging on, then when taking a geotagged photo make sure you have gps lock. The animated gps (satellite) icon in the top left corner of the camera screen will be replaced by a target to show locked location.
[Desire General] niklz:
Ahh, its the lock thing! really really wish I'd have known this a week ago!

Thanks for the help, now it works fine. takes ~30sec to lock for the first time, is that normal?

Is there a decent geotag app for the desire, will google earth do it on the desire?

kind regards,

niklz
[Desire General] paulruk:
Yes usually takes about 30 secs to lock onto the satellites. You could always leave GPS on but then its going to eat battery.

Haven't tried any geotagging apps for android sorry. Google earth wont do it. Its pretty basic on android, recommend doing those kind of things on the PC.
[Desire General] alex101uk:
aaah right. so yea i had the right idea but had no idea about the location lock. Cheers guys :)
[Desire General] dampchimp:
Does anyone know if it is possible to geo-tag using only tower location? Used to be able to do this on my iphone and although not 100% accurate, at least lets you get a rough idea without trying to get a GPS lock?

Our is there an app which would do this?

[Palm Treo 750] Kdragon75:
I know this is the Treo 750 Forum however this seems the best place for treo talk.

Now the good stuff :D

I Have two Treo 755p's and I only need one. So I would like to make a careless attempt at shoe horning Windows Mobile 6 (pref. w/HTC sense UI) into this phone and bring new life into this device.

The hardware between the Treo 700w/wx and the 755p seem the most similar.

I have a RAM2SD image from a 700wx that I would like to write back to the 755p with SD2RAM however when I run this command (from MTTY) it asks me to confirm by pressing the SW_RST button. The Treo 700WX has this by the SD card slot but it is not present on the 755P.

If anyone can help with this trivial road block please let me know.

Also if you have a method of generating a new "torino-bl.md5.pdb" as it does not seem to contain a simple md5 hash. With this I could use the palm ROM updater to reflash the bootloader and work from there.

Thanks in advance!

Side notes:

torino-bl.pdb == Bootloader.ruu //Missing IPL and SPL

FwAndRom.ruu == Bootloader+SPL(?)+OS

My phone has the evt3 board and it seems both bootloaders reference this board.
[Palm Treo 750] Kdragon75:
Well I have the new checksum in the torino-bl.pdb.md5 file (I used ROMTool) but its not getting flashed from RomUpdater.prc

Any ideas? Im learning as I go..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaden10:
When my screen goes to sleep, my Wifi or my data connection stops (whichever one I'm using).

If I'm listening to the radio using Radio Time, the sound stops after the screen sleeps. An interesting thing to note is that if you go to the lock screen, it starts playing again. It seems like the screen just needs to be on. The problem seems to be limited to just certain applications because Pandora still plays after the screen turns off.

Another app, Android Web Desktop, which allows you to text and manage your files from the computer, doesn't work correctly either. Nothing loads while my screen is off but it starts loading once I turn my screen on.

I'm running on a Sprint HTC Hero with DamageControls v2.07.2 ROM for Android 2.1. I also have a Flan lockscreen. I don't know whether the problem is ROM related or what.

Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can fix this?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcispcpro:
check the wifi sleep policy as well.

Settings>Wireless & Networks>Wifi Settings> [press menu] > Advanced >Wifi Sleep Policy

Setting it to never will make the wifi radio never disconnect, at the expense of battery, of course.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luftwaffles86:
I have it too, although I sort of assumed it was by design. Makes for a pretty frustrating experience trying to use Gmote or Boxee Remote.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaden10:
I'm still having the problem kinda. It seemed to not turn it off as fast. It stopped working after about 30 seconds in Android Desktop and RadioTime kept playing but was very skippy. Are you having this problem? I don't understand why certain app work and certain don't.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luftwaffles86:
For problems with Gmote and Boxee Remote, this fixed my issue.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nam_hee:
That was a useful suggestion. To go a bit further on this point. You can turn on/off your wifi (and more) by using applications like timeriffic when you really don't need it. Eg, when you're sleeping. Timeriffic changes some of your profiles based on time so it would be a great option to add to this setting change.

turns out I was wrong, just under a very yellow light at my inlaw's.

I would be interested to know the evidence held that this is not a websafe colour issue though. I strongly believe it is for good reason.

Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Desire General] vlasac:
Well, usually those who claims something (in this case you) should give proof, but I can tell you web safe was issue way back with ancient 8 bit (256 color) browsers, which were not capable of displaying all colors, so if you give them non safe color they have to use nearest one and could fail. Desire is capable of displaying millions of colors, and Gmail application is not even web browser, it does not interpret graphics downloaded from web. Content of mail is downloaded, but graphic is built into program.

It could be similar problem, since apparently some applications in Android 2.1 use 16 bit colors, so when extrapolating 24 bits to 16 bits errors occurs. In any case it is not a fault of using wrong color, but of bad programming which is not capable displaying full 24 bits.
[Desire General] farnsbarns:
you are kind of right, desire however is not genuinely capable of millions of colours. because of its pentiled display each RG or BG pixel is 10 bit with the red or blue subpixel being twice the size of the green subpixels. it deals with this rather cleverly but its not perfect.

the colour used in the gmail app is grey but it is in the red (pink) index and is slightly closer to the next 10 bit pink than it is to the grey.

the result of these 10 bit pixels and the grey used in the gmail app is a pink hue on the supposedly grey read messages. its not exactly a websafe issue but if it were a websafe color (8 bit) the pinkness would not be visible.

Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Desire General] vlasac:
I am not sure I understand you correctly. What do you mean by RG/BG couple being 10 bit? Each R/G/B sub pixel is (to my knowledge) independently addressable by 8 bits. Which give us 16 bits per pixel, but 24 bit information is retained (most of it) by extrapolating remaining 8 bits with surrounding pixels.

Could you link to some web page explaining 10 bits per pixel for Desire?

I don't want to go too much into bits because there is simpler explanation. Same grays can be correctly displayed in other applications on same display. That proves it is not a display issue, but of those applications, don't you agree?.

There is already topic for this, so maybe better to continue there:

(basically im tryna put villians themed framework-res into sanpeis latest rom)

ok i found this ROM with a modded taskbar thing... the battery icon, 3g icon, etc were different.

i took the framework-res.apk from that rom and replaced it with the one already in my phone but now my phone wont pass the second flashscreen even if i leave it for half an hour.

wtf:( i checked the permissions of the new framework-res and made it to match the rest of the files in the system/framework folder but nothing changed

is it just not compatible?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] capychimp:
if you change it it has to be from same style rom, if it's a legend rom you need one from legend rom, you cannot mix that easy hero and legend framework files
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] klothius:
If the only thing you wish to change is those icons, then take both apk files apart with some compression tool(I know 7zip works), find the files that you wanna take from villains that are in res folder and copy them to res folder from sanpeis rom(ofc you need to put them in right folders, but when you open up res folder you'll know what to do. After you replaced those files, take all the files that were from start in sanpeis framework and the edited res folder and create a .zip file. Rename the file to framework-res.apk(no, the name shouldn't be xxxx.apk.zip, but you need to change the extension from zip to apk) and push it like you would normally do. Also you should probably want to know that the more compression, the more likely that the apk will fail :D So your best bet is to go with store. Good luck :)

I'm not too sure what this means of how I can figure out what or how to get a log file.

My phone has been doing a random slide all the way to the left. no matter what Rom I'm running. After a few hours my Eris, running 1.5 from jcase, and edited by k.

- Screen moves left

- fixs when I restart

- happened again after a few how's of phone on standby or playing.

- Also OS slow down.

- this has been on going for 3 days.

- wiped, everything.

-Flashed using same Rom, and 3 others. (Followed flash Rom steps.)

- Still same problem.
