[Touch Pro2 CDMA] decepts:
Hello,

I have been doing a lot of research on this problem and I can't find any solution to this. My voice command on my updated phone from windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5 does not announce incoming calls over my bluetooth head set. I have a Jawbone Prime and I ONLY once have heard it announce a call over the BT headset and I beleive this was under version 6.1 of windows mobile. It announces just fine over the regular speaker but not anything over BT. Does anyone have a solution to this? Everything else works just fine just not this, which I find to be the most important part. Yes the options are checked under voice command to announce incoming calls. Any help would be great!

Thanks.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] decepts:
Update

It appears that the bluetooth announce call stuff works just fine over bluetooth. The only thing you need to do other than making sure VC is enabled to announce is go under the bluetooth settings and select advance and then audio and under the audio settings check the check box for play system sounds on remote hands-free device. After doing this it worked just fine. Also before I did any of this I did a master reset on my device just incase any of the past reg. edits were possibly a problem, and I just wanted to make sure I started from a clean slate. But it works just fine!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tmosley:
Possible fix

I downloaded a an app called high tech speaking. Initially it did not work BUT for some strange reason, it began began announcing the caller via voice command. The problem is that i could not push the talk button on my headset to answer the call. I had to push the button on the phone. This, however, is a step in the right direction. I am not a programmer by any means but someone out there is. Get this app and correct problem for all voice commanders out there. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisrm:
I guess I'll say what I did to end up here, first:

A few months back, I bought an unlocked HTC Hero (A626) from eBay. This evening, I decided it'd be a good idea to root the thing and install a nice 2.1 ROM.

2 hours later, I find myself with a locked phone. Or, at least, that's what it seems to be. My SIM is definitely *in* the phone, and it's quite adamant that it doesn't have one.

I *was* following the instructions at theunlockr.com about "rooting the hero in one click" - I downloaded the RUU downgrade for "unbranded European users" (though my phone is now in Canada... it *is* an unbranded European phone).

After some mess with drivers and HTC Sync, I finally got the 1.76 RUU to work (I was on 2.73 before)... until I ended up with error code 140; something about a device error.

Now, from my browsing, I'm fairly certain that I could get around this by making a Goldcard and retrying the downgrade and continuing with the root/upgrade.

What I want to know is: will this fix my phone? (making a goldcard, rooting and continuing with a custom rom, that is) Right now it's on radio 6.35.06.18, but I don't believe that changed since the RUU failed. The RUU seems to have locked the phone, and nothing else; every other piece of my data is still intact. If not, is there any way that I can make it work again?

Thanks very much; any help is appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apesgrapes:
i seem to remember the 140 error when trying to apply the RUU. making a goldcard got me past it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicknyhk:
strange..from other ppl post on phone sim unlocking, rooting shouldnt affect the sim lock at all
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
I dont see the sim lock being the cause of no network since you started messeing about with it as the sim lock is held on a totally different part of the phone so any ru update wouldnt effect that or the networks would be nackered, have you tried putting thte recovery image on http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291486/06-jan-installing-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/ and flashing one using that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
This is not a sim-lock issue. sounds like a goldcard is needed, as this is the bootloader lock you are experiencing...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisrm:
Ok, well, I suppose I'll try the goldcard, then - one more question; once I make the goldcard, can I ever use the SD card normally afterwards? I don't know if I want to use my 8GB Class 6 if it's unusable as storage, after this :/ .

(Also, apologies to the mods for posting in the Development forums - 'tis what happens when one is low on sleep and stressed by phone problems ;) )

EDIT: Ok - from some reading, it sounds like it's best for me to go looking for the 2GB card that came with the phone, as it will "just be a goldcard after this". If anyone wants to confirm this, that would be excellent. Thanks for all the help, by the way :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisrm:
Ok - I decided I'd try out Flashrec instead (I guess I wasn't on 2.73....7, rather 5, which apparently has the exploit needed to make flashrec work), and I flashed Cyanogen's recovery image successfully - I can boot into recovery mode and I get the familiar screen :) .

I just want to be very clear about this: can I now flash a custom ROM (preferably without bricking my phone ;) )? (I was thinking Villain 4 Beta2, but if anyone else has a better suggestion... I'm looking for a 2.1 ROM with Sense). I'm not really sure I want to flash the "improved" recovery-RA-HERO right now, as I cannot su (I think this is an issue with me not having it on the phone, as I get "permission denied" errors when I try to run it). Would it be a wise idea to flash a custom ROM with su *first*, and then maybe update my recovery image?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisrm:
All right, sorry about that - disregard my above post; I went ahead with the update. I'm now running Villain4beta2 (2.1 is so nice :D). However, I still have the "No Sim card in phone" issue, even though I most certainly *do* have a SIM card in the phone. Does anyone have any idea what's happened? Even better, does anyone know how I can fix this? I'd get it unlocked again, but as some of you mentioned, it doesn't really make sense that a ROM update would sim-lock the phone... Also, I have no idea which carrier it would have been locked to (it shouldn't have been locked to a carrier, really... it's a stock white international phone), so wouldn't that make unlocking rather difficult/impossible?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisrm:
...and disregard *that* post as well. Turns out the Hero is *really* picky with the SIM tray. It has to be locked entirely; you can use your fingernails and swipe to the left if it doesn't work. Anyway, it had nothing to do with SIM locks and everything to do with me being incompetent at putting in the SIM :p . So, consider this problem SOLVED.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cauli:
If it is incapable of detecting any inserted sim I imagine that will make unlocking impossible, since aiui to unlock you need to have a sim inserted belonging to a carrier other than the one it is locked to, in order for the phone to prompt you for an unlock code.

Was the sim recognised & working previously? I know you've just rooted it, but I'd be inclined to try flashing with a stock RUU, if you haven't already. Just pick an old one so you can root it afterwards without the hassle of a gold card.

If it doesn't work with a stock ROM I'd suspect a hardware problem, but it is strange if it was working prior to you starting to update flash. There's no way at any stage you attempted to flash a CDMA Hero rom to your GSM Hero (which I assume it is as you said it was European)? It doesn't seem likely, but worth double checking I guess.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cauli:
Lol. I've done that before. Didn't think to suggest it as I never imagined anyone else could be as incompetent as me ;) Glad you got it sorted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krisrm:
Heheh, I do believe you've met your match :p . Thanks, everything is working beautifully now :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anarchyuk:
haha you clown, well at least now you have the rec image and you can flash away till your hearts content!!:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Hi, I'm looking for a simple app that turns off wifi when it can't connect to the access points that I use.

edit:

the app I have in mind does the following:

ON POWER ON: check for (say) 30 sec. if a automatic wifi connection is established.
IF NOT: turn of wifi (if its on) and exit app.
ELSE: exit app

Maybe someone can compile such a simple app?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] DopeWeasel:
Wouldn't work... how will the phone scan for your access point if it's off.

a more feasible idea is an app that based on aGPS data, but it would probably create a net power drain.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bravo261:
phonealarm can turn on wifi once it detects the cell towers in the areas where you designate, such as home and work but nowhere else. of course, that's general location based...not specifically access-point based (turns off when you go into a basement and turns back on when you're up in the house)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
No, no :) not a intelligent solution... Just a simple app that can notice that a particular access point is not within range when you turn your phone on..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
Thanks, I will look into it. But I think it's just too much for me. I only want a app. that turns wifi off when I turn on the phone and one of my wifi ap's is not within range.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] appelflap:
added a simple design for this app to the first post
[Hero CDMA General] chaos67731:
Sorry to make a post just for this, but it is something I have been truly missing!

When I had my Centro/Treo 650/700p/755 (Yes I was a Palm fanboy ) I would get the news with Express News and they had a news bit that would run sometimes called "Reds Rundown". It was a good/funny recap of the past few weeks or so. But I cant seem to find it on Express News for the Hero or anywhere for that matter.

Well if you know what I am talking about could you say something so I dont seem crazy and if you know where to find it now that we are on Heros that would be great!

Let the Palm jokes begin... LOL

[HD2 General] alexs0fly:
Does anyone know that this program is on my task bar. I'm not sure what it is. I thought It was Touch X Taskmanager but it looks different than the last version I installed on it. It also seems to be conflicting with my time display. I know it seems silly but I don't go around installing random things without knowing what they are. Thanks
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
I believe that is Dutty's HTC Task Manager.

Unless of course you're referring to something else... then I'm completely at a loss.
[HD2 General] alexs0fly:
When I go to settings -> system -> remove programs, I dont see Dutty's. I DO see Touch X Taskmanager though. When I try to remove it, it says "Touch X Taskmanager was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?" I click yes, and then it just goes to the bottom of the program list.
[HD2 General] Susasama:
I'm pretty positive that's Dutty's, I don't have Dutty's, but just plain ol HTC Task Manager. same Icon, different drop down set.
[HD2 General] alexs0fly:
I actually found a cab of Dutty's on my SD card so you guys are probably right. I'll keep searching for a way to remove it. It just looks so ugly and I hate that it overlaps with my time. But thanks.

ok 30 views and nothing back, i take it you guys dont have this problem? gonna file a faulty phone report if its just mine :(

It depends on the maximum file size your provider allows you to send, some of them only allow one reduced size photo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I've been playing around on my phone, esp with framework-res.apk :eek:.

Now many of my apps have their permissions screwed up (There was a UID mismatch on two seperate occasions)

The apps that show up in the log (below) sometimes FC becasue they dont have the right permissions granted.

Sample logcat on startup:

D/PackageManager( 141): Scanning app dir /data/app-private
D/PackageManager( 141): Scanning app dir /sd-ext/app-private
I/PackageManager( 141): Time to scan packages: 12.442 seconds
W/PackageManager( 141): Not granting permission com.android.launcher.permission.INSTALL_SHORTCUT to package com.google.code.appsorganizer because it was previously installed without
W/PackageManager( 141): Not granting permission android.permission.INTERNET to package lysesoft.andftp because it was previously installed without
W/PackageManager( 141): Not granting permission android.permission.BATTERY_STATS to package com.dynotes.miniinfo because it was previously installed without
W/PackageManager( 141): Not granting permission android.permission.INTERNET to package com.greenecomputing.linpack because it was previously installed without

I'm thinking an "adb install -r <file.apk>" for each of these apps will fix it...but before that I want to know if theres another/quicker way (reset to default permissions as in each app's apk).

thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
In AmonRa's recovery there is an option under the "Other" submenu called "Fix apk uid mismatches." It sounds like that is what you need.

Edit: Yeah I just checked, that is what you need. Once run, that script will give you a "fix_permission.log" file in the root of your sdcard.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
That was what I used to fix the UID mismatches. The permissions problem still remains.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaJu:
Oh that's weird. Sorry I got nothing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Try re-setting the permissions for each individual app in the actual install script.

Are they installed in system/app? I am assuming so?

If you know the permissions code number that you want to set for the app you can set it accordingly. If you want to try something just for testing to see if your app will work but not as a permanent proceedure try this:

set_perm(0777, 0777, 0777, "/system/app/your_app_name_here.apk");

This sets specific permissions to that app in particular as totally open, meaning anything can do anything to that app. Once you boot and test the app and see that it works then bring the permissions back on that app to be suitable.

You can also if you are not keen on installing to system partition do this

symlink("/data/app/your_app_name_here.apk", "/system/app/your_app_name_here.apk");
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
I'll upload you guys a boot init.d script that will reset permissions on your apps to correct 644 on every boot for after testing.

Can you please tell me what chipset details are? Like on galaxy S MTD system is something like /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

What is system and data partitions on nexus one?

Once I know these details and if your ROM has init.d support then I the boot script will ensure that this is done on boot every time ;)

Hi everyone

Well after purchasing a pack of 6 screen protectors off ebay for £2 and throwing then I'm the bin 5 minutes after they arrived, I decided to take a risk on the VIKUITI DQC160 from ebay.... despite been near 9 quid!!!! And the old saying goes you get what you pay for!

You cannot tell its on, it was exact right size for screen, easy to fit and no bubbles.

Highly recommended if your willing to pay that much for piece of plastic!

Ps what a phone the desire is
[Desire Accessories] Ghisy:
Thanks for the feedback, I wasn't sure about those. I might get one. (I'm using a cheap one for now but I'm definitely going to change it)
[Desire Accessories] jannen:
Quite mixed reviews on these... some say they are really bad on Desire...(not right size, not the right cut, bubbles, not washable)

Just wonder who to believe?
[Desire Accessories] Nekromantik:
I pre-orderd the offical HTC desire screen protector from Play for £5, hope they good.
[Desire Accessories] jah:
Totally agree with you about the Vikuiti protector
[Desire Accessories] nilecoma:
+1

I ordered one and it's perfect !

(thanks to this topic)
[Desire Accessories] daesimps:
I ordered the Vikuiti too. I have to agree that it's a perfect fit, but wasn't fit perfectly ;)

I've managed to get a load of bubble that simply won't come out. There's nothing under the protector but it just isn't "sticky enough" to hold on the corners where the bubbles are.

I noted on the site that I bought it from that it says it's washable and re-usable, but there's no mention of that in the instructions.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] juanfoo:
Hi all, I have been trying to find a starting point for learning about programming. I have a wallaby and purchased XDA Tools a year or so ago, and like many I jumped into it with the idea of unlocking the sim features, long story short, I did not backup anything and tried to do it w/o a memory card and eventually I lost the bootloader and ended up with the black stripes with the two white boxes I have seen in others posts. I do not really care about its functionality as a phone, but is there anything else I could install such as games or another platform entirely? Just for a little practice, or fun? Thanks. Also you guys are truly rad for being as nice as you are about all of the repitition/noobs like me.:eek:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] egzthunder1:
If you lost the bootloader, I don't know if there is anything that you can do with it. If you know how to do JTAG, you may be able to upload the bootloader that way, but I don't know enough about that to guide you. Sorry, but I think that you are going to end up having it for spares... Also, you bought xda Tools? I thought that was free from this site :confused:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] juanfoo:
Thanks Thunder1, I bought it as a sim unlocking package for wallaby specifically, at the time I had no idea that xda had a site and before I could even navigate the web really. Go figure, I want to flash and hack before I even know how to use basic features on my device, I will look into the j tag method you mentioned and hopefully I can use the j tag cable I got for my wrt54gtm router, I dont have a clue but I just keep reading. Thanks much.

[TG01 General] Gaz25:
Ok quick run down of what I done so far.

Received phone on Thursday at work. Phone was locked to Orange UK

I came here and found out how to get unlock code (vitamise@googlemail.com) :-D

So while I waited for the unlock code to come through I thought I would change the rom.

I flashed the phone with the rom from the following post.

[ROM][ENG] TG01/T01A Debranded UK + Manila Sense 2.5 v0.011 (14/04/2010) More RAM!!

Flash went fine.

I just got my unlock code so inserted my sim (02 UK).

My problem is I have no unlock request and the attenna icon constantly has 3 dots animating after it and when I click it, it says "searching..."

Any ideas?
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Where did you buy it? I think you have the same problem as other guys. But lets check first. Try to put other sim cards and let see what hapening.
[TG01 General] Gaz25:
I got off someone on ebay. Came with all original box etc...

I will try with another sim.
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Tell me wen you tried an other sim card and whats happening and try to flash original ROM not modified one.
[TG01 General] Gaz25:
I been trying to find original rom but can't find one anywhere. Any pointers? :-D
[TG01 General] jk2207jk:
This will give you the original ROM (Orange branded (unless you use the Italian one!!)), but you'll need your IMEI to download.
[TG01 General] Gaz25:
Will it still work even though I have windows 6.5 installed?
[TG01 General] bojan6:
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/mobil...te&WCE=&WCU=;LANG=1;PID=84;TYP=13;PNT=0;SEC=3

That is the official site and you can chose one of them. There are fr,en,it,sp and gr languages.

Just need your IMEI to download it.

Your work but have modified internal registers. So I am not sure if coming from there your problem or because the ex owner did something with the radio. I have

post that I say, you can put more than 3 times your unlocking code, but I don't know how many times you can put it. May be 10 or 100 or ~ times, now buddy know exactly. Personally I put it something like 15 times but I am not sure. If it is completely locked and the ex owner block the radio. Solution is to use orange sim card, turbo sim (I don't like it) or call orange and see what they say. Just need to try everything before.

But before that I told you lets try.

1 Put original ROM and see if then you have the unlocking msg with your card or other different than orange or than your original provider. If possible try 2/3 different sim card.

2 If 1 didn't work try to put sim from original provider and see if work.

3 If 1st not work and 2nd work then the problem is with the radio.

4 Need to call your provider to see if they have any solution.

5 If they haven't solution, try turbo sim or use sim from original provider until we find solution how to change the radio.

6 Now we are in ROM test development so may be there we go to have new solution.

Who know ?
[TG01 General] Gaz25:
Well I downloaded the rom and started the update. Phone rebooted and I got the white screen saying it was downloading something something, can't remember the message but its part of the flashing process.

Anyway this only seem to take about 2mins???. When I did my first flash with the custom rom it took about 10minutes! So then the phone rebooted, back into the phone and nothing has changed! To me it still looks like the same custom rom I had before.

I'm going to try another sim now and will get back to you later.

Cheers for the help so far :-D
[TG01 General] bojan6:
Wen you flash a custom ROM you can't see difference because is the same just missing some program and change some registers. 90% custom Roms you can see differences is inside the programs. Added or deleted programs. This change if is not good may cause a bugs (errors).For this I told you to change to original Rom. To try things how it come from shop and try find solution.

And wen you try other sim card post all msg you receive. And all steps you doing.
[TG01 General] tra33372:
From my experience (my phone is locked to Docomo), If I flash UK original rom and put non-Docomo sim, the phone will show sim locked screen and allow me to enter unlock code while Debranded rom (from arag0n) doesn't.

I got this rom from mr.mike (only for T-01A) but I'm not sure that his original rom is the old 6.5 UK rom or new 6.5 UK rom (voice problem fixed).
