[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] demandarin:
I have the 2.1 version. Or at least thats what it says in the phone details in android mode. The latest cab version install.

You know they have it that you can manually add files to update the roofts, zImage, and the g someth..lol Which i was unsuccessful last night in trying to replace with the newest ones, i got from online. Followed the instructions exactly but still didnt work. Even Copied them to my device notes..lol I will figure it out soon enough. Thats another thread.

As far as live wallpapers, mines work fine. I dont know if when i figure how to add those new files, it might not work. Im still learning but fast pace. im dealing with this and the gene y dual boot. Cant get that to exact recognize android. Did at one time, when moving some files around but got hung up at near the end of HaRET.exe loading info. I finally got the reefermadness modded Gene Y Dual Boot CAB, so ima try that later and see if that fixes it.

The battery issue is a known. Its always like that. I try to look at the the battery details to watch the volts go down but dont know if thats real indicator. It does go down and shows you if your charger is charging the phone while in XDAndroid OS. Plus i tried downloading Batter widget but that always say 100% also.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] urkrnboy90:
I had the same gen.y dualboot issue with recognizing android but now mine works :). I just redid every step and voila! and where do i get those three files you were talking about? the ones you said that i had to manually download/update? and why do i need them? everything seems fine with my android 0_0 unless im missing something......? eek! >.<;;

And thanks reef, I understand why my live wallpapers wasnt working now haha.
[Desire General] david_inuk:
I've purchased two new USB cables and noticed that they charge the phone EXTREMELY slowly, not just when connected to a USB port but even when they are connected directly to the HTC charger!

Are they faulty cables or does one need to purchase specific HTC cables?

I'd love responses before I waste more money!

Thnx a million!
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
I've purchased a non-HTC cable that charges the device as normal. So you don't need HTC-made cables...

Make sure it's a 5-pin micro-USB...
[Desire General] micks_address:
any suggestions for picking up cheap cables?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lohtse:
Hi Folks.

Just been issued heros at work and wish to update the radio rom...How is this accomplished??

regards

Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Firstly it needs to have a recovery image installed I recommend Amon-Ra v 1.6.2.

Secondly you need to find the radio rom you wish to flash and put it onto the root of you phones sd card.

Thirdly enter the recovery image you have installed by holding power and home button from the phone being off.

Then select the radio.zip to flash.

Everything I have said here can easily be found how to do via searching this forum or its wiki.

also www.theunlockr.com will help with installing the recovery image.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
First you will need to install the custom recovery console if you haven't done so already.

Then download your updated radio, put it on your SD, load into the recovery, then apply update. DONE!

If that is too brief,... let me know,...

EDIT... Ooops,... too late.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lohtse:
way to complicated...

Too much to do and can screw up..... At least with winmo and symbian was a few clicks...

hmmmmm think will ditch android.....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
really? its not complicated at all when you know what your doing. In fact I can say its a damn sight easier (and safer) than modifying blackberry roms and from what I hear also Windows Mobile.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frederikk:
I came from wimo to android, and as it is said, it's quite hard to catch the thing at the beginning, but after everything seems easier than in wimo !! and more reliable... you have almost no chance to brick your hero after you installed the recovery boot.

radio : boot in recovery then select the good option.

rom : nandroid backup / install whatever rom you want / if you don't like it go for nandroid restore ( all you need is two Sd card.. the good one and the one for the "tests" ).... etc....

But at the beginning i was totally out but with a little time.. reading some posts (here and on the web) ... one day everything was more clear !

Ciao

Fred
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Its not hard at all. You can have the recovery installed and the radio updated in 5 minutes.

For step by step instructions follow the "Installing a recovery image" section in BTDAG's guide linked in my signature.

Then further down the same post, in the second yellow box there are instructions on "Updating your Radio".
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
Guys, the OP said he was issued the Hero at work, then two hours later said he was going to ditch Android... so what then, he's quitting his job? Troll alert. Don't feed the troll.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lohtse:
As to troll comment(yes offence has been caused)....hmmmmm.... Am going back to the trusty Kaiser... WE DON'T HAVE TO USE THE HERO.... We live in free(ish) world.. And the Phones are issued as an update to our old duty phones... Also I'm not the only one who uses them that feels the same.

Now to updating being easy. Gulp I must be eeer dum!!! Du hu Du HU must be the TROLL in me!

I have tried to install recovery image thing and well just cant get it to work... And now I find I have to root the hero too so things will install to sd card!!!! WTF this should all be standard like winmo and symbian etc...

I have been using smart phones since the Ericsson r380 and so far Android has failed to impress to the degree I am beginning to hate it....

Am far to used to having simply andfull access to everything..

Android is a HUGE learning curve that I suspect I may not have the patience for..

regards The TROLL sorry I mean Lohtse
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lohtse:
Now I have finally managed to get recovery image on and updated the radio...Being called a troll did it !!!!!!.....LOL

My final questions are this how do I root so I can install to sd card(just point me in the right direction) And do I have to unlock Phone to any network to have custom roms on..

regards

TROLL
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Wahey!!!! Good job man.

Ok,... So now you have the recovery image all you need to do is pick a custom ROM. Personally, I highly recommend MCR3.2 (link in signature at botom). It is an Android 1.5 ROM but is stable and fast, what more could you want for a work phone.This ROM is rooted and has apps2SD enabled. Once you have installed the ROM you will need to remember to create an ext2 partition on the SD card (easily done through the recovery). Then you are set to go!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
You're welcome ;) And what ddotpatel said. MCR is fast & clean. By installing a custom recovery you've already done the only tricky bit.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lohtse:
Yep installed 3.2 from modocca. seems nice but how do you know if the apps are installing to sdcard???? I'm not sure they are lol..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
You need to create an ext2 partition on your SD card through the recovery again. I cant remember the exact wording but something like "create ext2 + fat" or something along those lines.

As far as I know, once that has been done all apps will install to SD.

Someone with more knowhow than me correct me if I am wrong?... CAULI?,... LENNY?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SebHTCHero:
Can someone who knows please answer this question:

Are you 100% sure that flashing the Radio ROM does not affect the phone RF Calibration ?

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
Yup, certainly as far as MCR is concerned. On the first reboot it will move all files from /data/app to /system/sd/app (& similarly for app-private) Nb /sysytem/sd is the mount point for the ext2 partition. All it does is move the files over & then replaces the /data/app (& app-private) directory with a symlink to the new location. That way future installs, updates etc all automatically go to the new location.

You can always check yourself with a terminal emulator & the command ls -l, or using a file manager like Root Explorer, if you're curious. Some people think it's not working because they see available space in internal flash drop as apps are installed, but that's because app data & the dalvik cache remain on internal flash, principally aiui for reasons of access speed. The saving you make just from shifting the apks to sd is more than enough for most people it seems.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] lohtse:
hmmmm I certainly noticed a drop in available memory on the phone to the degree of only having 54 megs free...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
what is rf calibration?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] trikko:
What is radio rom used for by phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SebHTCHero:
A set of tables usually stored in NVRAM that takes into account the slight differences in the components used to build your phone. Every single phone is calibrated during manufacturing.

If the calibration is erased, it will look like it works but you can have all sort of problems from poor battery life to random drop from the network or poor sensibility (not to mention the higher than expected radio levels you could be emitting right next to your brain :p)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
Please search.....

Cell Signal

Bluetooth

Wifi

GPS

All updated so (potentially) work better and use less battery consumption etc
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
Aiui, all communications functionality at the device level. So the mobile network, wifi & bluetooth are all driven by the radio ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
And you beat me by 60s. And you made me realise I forgot GPS :( I'm gonna sulk now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
so if updating the radio would erase the calibration, wouldn't that take away the possibility to update the radio at all?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SebHTCHero:
No, it would just change the behaviour of the RF (the soft would just fall back to default parameters). That being said, if there was such a problem, someone would have noticed by now.

I'll just do some more research before I take the risk that's all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
so the question is what brings more benefit, the calibration or the newer radio...

since they give you the radio updates with the regular official updates i think they are safe to install. even if it erases the calibration, is there anybody out there who hasn't updated his radio yet?
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] popodom:
Hi everyone,

I just installed a WM6.5 rom on my Xperia X1.

UI is really beautiful, thanks XDA-Dev and X1iser for that.

Stability is not great but not worst than original firmware.

Using a soft, I encountered a problem trying to change the settings.

In WM6.1, there is a button in the top right corner of the screen, next to the time and used to check running apps when you are in the phone homepage or to close open application.

I know that to confirm settings changes, the 'Ok' button is located at this same place.

As in WM6.5, taskbar is handled another way, I can't confirm those changes. Maybe the soft is not compatible with WM6.5.

If anyone has an idea, to solve this, he's welcome.

Thanks in advance,
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] republicano:
if you install xperia 2 task manager it will work but the text there and the task manager icon will overlap each other, but if you have a rom with the notification screen after you click on the top you may have a problem.

Hi,

Do you know what settings to use to stop the device to go off forcing WiFi to disconnect when listening to internet radio?

Thanks in advance.
[HD Mini General] vulture-x:
Download and install BsB Tweaks (search this forum for the download link). Once installed, check "WiFi Standby" to keep WiFi working when phone goes standby. Pretty sure it will resolve the problem.
[HD Mini General] BetoX:
Thanks for your reply. I have installed BsB Tweaks (use it also to do soft-resets!, without having all the time to take the battery off ..), but discovered that if I have the exchange email 'Direct Push' ON it also prevents that the wifi get disconnected.

Does anyone know if there already is glue on the replacement so only the old glue has to be removed and attach the new digitizer?

Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] elmalote:
Thanks for the answer. But what I meant is if it the new one has glue on it, so I can attach it or do I have to buy new special glue?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Accessories] Wartexx:
No it doesn't come with glue.

I attached mine with double sided tape, but if you had read the other threads about digitizer replacements you would have known.

[Desire Themes and Apps] urp:
Thanks everyone in advance for any help you may give me.

I have just bought an HTC Desire and my company e-mail runs through MS Officelive (i.e. Hotmail/Windows Live for Business).

I have heard previous Android devices syncing with Hotmail (probably through 3rd party apps installed).

Does anyone know of a good email app that enables HTML etc. and syncs with Hotmail/Windows Live which isn't POP3 (which is terrible as it doesn't sync).

Tried Maildroid and it will only work over POP3 again (even though it says it works with Windows Live).

Would be great if there's a push one too!

Don't mind if it's a paid app either to get it working without POP3.

Any help?

Thank you again.
[Desire Themes and Apps] joelangley:
RE: MailDroid

Hi Urp,

MailDroid will work for it over IMAP if you have set the correct settings. Most people have POP3 so it defaults to that, but if you add in your username/pass and click manual setup, you will be able to add in your imap settings.

PM me if you need some help.

-Joe

P.S. I did not even know live supported IMAP
[Desire Themes and Apps] hungabunga:
I tried Seven Beta and if kinda works with hotmail but is very buggy at the moment and support is lacking as it's only beta.

It may work better for you so give it a try

Sully
[Desire Themes and Apps] urp:
Thanks guys, I appreciate the support. Do you know the IMAP settings for Windows live then? Everywhere I've read said it isn't supported.

Thank you again guys!

Matt (urp)
[Desire Themes and Apps] joelangley:
RE: Windows Live

Right, that is what I thought. MailDroid works over POP3 for hotmail/live/msn etc. and will do a poll of the server. My understanding is that windows live mail means that the desktop client can access other IMAP accounts and not that Hotmail itself has IMAP.

You can get push mail by signing up for other companies (shangmail and maybe seven (not sure how seven does it)) and they will poll and get UIDs and then push to you. Essentially, they are polling and pushing from their application. Personally, I am biased, but I will tell you that I have many happy hotmail/live/msn users.

Are you seeing issues using MailDroid?

edit: Go to windowslivehelp.com and search for IMAP and you will see that it is not supported.
[Desire Themes and Apps] haggisuk99:
I have my hotmail account synced directly to my desire, i simply told it to set up an account used my hotmail addy and it got the settings from the internet for me.

However in case yours isnt picking them up for some reason I have provided them below for you- Htc Desire on Tmobile Software number 1.15.110.11

incoming settings

protocol =pop

pop server = pop3.live.com

security type =ssl

server port =995

outgoing settings

login required =ticked

username =hotmail addy ie yourname@hotmail.com

smtp server=smtp.live.com

security type=tls

server port=587

Account name =Hotmail

Your Name =what ever you want it to display

hope that helps you.
[Desire Themes and Apps] hungabunga:
The op doesn't want to use pop access he wants imap or push email, where it deletes messages from server and shows read items as already read etc

Sully
[Desire Themes and Apps] haggisuk99:
Then simply select your live/hotmail account and select the three vertical bars from the widget to take you into the full email app.

then from there you need to press the menu button and select more.

then select settings and under send and receive settings select

Delete mail on server to be on ie ticked.

this will then delete them from your hotmail account as you delete them from your device when you press refresh to resync the account.

This wont mark them as read on the server however, what you can do as a workaround is to select the unread function on the device to read your unread from the device or to switch off the delete from hotmail account setting and delete them all from your device after you have deleted the ones you dont want which will leave the ones you want to keep on the server but remove them from your device. Then when you sign into hotmail you can mark them all read.

isnt perfect but better than nothing.

btw just to add the delete settings can be set up seperately for each account etc etc
[Desire Themes and Apps] hungabunga:
I am aware of the delete function, I was just giving examples of what imap has over a pop account. If you delete a message from hotmail after your phone has synced then it will remain on the device, I know what you are saying but it just doesn't offer the functionality of imap or push email

Sully
[Desire Themes and Apps] haggisuk99:
Appreciate that but unless you want to hand over your login details to a third party to handle that we are stuck with the above as there is no imap support with hotmail for paid or free accounts to the best of my knowledge, the only item i know that uses imap in conjunction with live mail is the windows desktop live client however there is no visible settings shown on what ports or settings are used.

Until someone can figure them out we are stuck with the above.
[Desire Themes and Apps] joelangley:
re:

Correct, or until Microsoft decides to catch up and implement IMAP :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] urp:
Thank you so so much guys, you've been so helpful. One reason I need IMAP or push is because I quite often move mail between folders. I need something like mboxmail on iPhone but on a far superior OS!

The nearest looks like seven but it isn't perfect by any means.

Thank you again guys, you've been so helpful.

P.s. noticed an engadget post saying HTC desire had overnight upgraded its Google maps to include turn by turn and its fantastic!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] digitallion:
Hello, I've encountered some interesting bug. When using any navigation app and after using it phone does not drop gprs connection (except for google maps). After that you can try to switch off mobile connection, and it switches off, but after some moment it starts again. I've tried almost everything: switching off background services, switching off roaming data, etc. The only thing what helped me is APNDroid app in a store. So I just wanted to ask you, can this problem be related with Android or VillanRom ? Where should I put bug request? =)))

This problem is serious for me cause GPRS traffic is very expensive in Latvia
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mljjlm:
In Villain 5 series I had a similar problem, when turning on GPS my GPRS connection also turned on.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Not noticed this bug but have not really used much GPS lately.

Apndroid would be the correct workaround for the time being.

Try an alternative alarm program such as GAlarm or I have enclosed a basic Alarm ap which is supposed to wake from standby but I have not tested it yet.

Thanks for reply.

Is there any solution for this issue, or my only chance is to use third party app?

I have not found a solution other than 3rd party app.

Seems like all the power settings, tweaks etc. people have tried are not very consistent.

If I have that changed into the X10, since I have commented I'm not new in Android, it has been 6 months since I have a Htc Magic and using the SDK tools almost every day.

Also I have the drivers installed USB, which exist in the zephyrix post, and when I connect the cable usb in notifications bar it shows:Conected in depurating mode, all that works out for me correct but later it does not detect the phone to me on having written #adb devices
